This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.
Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:
•What do you see? Write a brief description for this image.
•Where was this photograph taken?
•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.
•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?
About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.

Con un album dal vivo “Live At Koko, London 2014”, Uriah Heep affronteranno un tour europeo che li porterà anche in Italia il prossimo marzo. Saranno tre le date: il 18 marzo al Fabrique di Milano, con il loro Outsider Tour 2016.
La storia heavy metal band è pronta per regalarci uno show memorabile!
Gli Uriah Heep sono un gruppo heavy progressive inglese nato a Londra nel 1969.
Tutto inizia con una band chiamata "The Stalkers" nella quale militano il chitarrista Mick Box e il cantante David Byron. Quando il gruppo si scioglie i due fondano gli "Spice", ai quale si unisce presto anche il bassista Paul Newton, e successivamente anche il batterista Alex Napier. La fama degli Spice aumenta, e una sera ad un loro spettacolo c'è anche il produttore musicale Gerry Bron, che li invita ad alcune sessioni in studio. Bron suggerisce ai quattro di ingaggiare un tastierista, e la scelta finale cade, su consiglio di Newton che lo conosceva dai tempi dei "The Gods", su Ken Hensley. A questo punto il nome alla band viene mutato in "Uriah Heep", nome suggerito da Bron (che diventerà il loro manager) e preso in prestito dal personaggio presente nel romanzo di Charles Dickens David Copperfield.

Alter Ego By Michael Vance
Alter Ego is highly recommended.
For those who think blind dates and highly recommended magazines about comics only have great personalities, Alter Ego also has Roy Thomas (whom, I'm told, has purty legs). And for those unfamiliar with the name Roy Thomas, what, do you live in a cave?!?
Thomas is not only the editor of Alter Ego, but one of the most prolific and pivotal writers and editors in the Silver Age of Comics. As co-editor of Alter Ego back in 1962, Rascally Roy also helped found fandom (not that it was lost).
And what is the Silver Age of Comics? Well, truly ignorant one, the Silver Age includes any comic book written by Roy, who now has silver in his hair (and purty legs).
You heard it first here.
What you'll hear about in Alter Ego is Fred Ray, Jerry Robinson, Jack Burnley, Mort Leav, Wally Wood, Michael T. Gilbert, Grass Green, Bill Schelly, Steve Butler, Jim Amash, Frank Brunner, Joe Simon, Dick Sprang, Alex Toth, Bob Kane, Paris, Moldoff, Collins, Mortimer, Mooney, Swhwartz, Newton, Swayze, Beck, Raboy and Schaffenberger. Whew!! What a magazine full!
But, full of what, you ask? Well it is full of historical articles, photographs and art from the above cartoonists who produced Batman, Superman, Tomahawk, The Heap, EC Comics, Plastic Mam and Rok, Captain America, and Captain Marvel Junior, to name a few. You'll also find insightful letters of comment and articles on the history of fandom, but no blind dates.
Imagine what is in the other seventeen issues. Then imagine how angry you'll be when you buy them and then subscribe and I can no longer call you "truly ignorant one".
Don't forget, Roy has purty legs.
Alter Ego #19/104 pgs. & $5.95 from TwoMorrows Publishing/various artists and writers/sold at comics shops.

The Postcard
An Artistique Series postcard that was published by the Inter-Art Co. of Florence House, Barnes, London SW13. The artwork was by A. A. Nash, and the card was printed in Great Britain. The card would have been published during the Great War as a morale booster.
It did come right in the end, but too late for the vast numbers of men and women (and children) who died in the conflict.
The card was posted on Monday the 25th. November 1918, two weeks after the end of the Great War. It was sent to:
Miss Babie James,
Agra Ville,
Kings Road,
Fleet,
Hants.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"I know a little girlie and
her name is Babie-Boo,
and I think she loves her
Daddy and her Mummie,
Tootle Loo.
For Dear Babie, with heaps
of love and sweetie kisses,
From Daddy and Mummie."
A Ceasefire at Abercorn
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 25th. November 1918, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, commander of German forces in German East Africa, signed a ceasefire at Abercorn, Northern Rhodesia.
His was the last German force to end hostilities in the Great War.
Philip Streczyk
The day also marked the birth of Philip Streczyk. He was a technical sergeant in the 1st. Infantry Division of the United States Army during World War II.
Streczyk was born to Polish parents Andrzej "Andrew" Streczyk (born 1876 in Austria-Hungary) and Marya (born 1886 in Austria-Hungary). Streczyk was a native of East Brunswick Township, New Jersey. He had nine siblings.
Streczyk quit school in eighth grade to help support his family, working as a truck driver until he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1940 at the age of 21. Streczyk was able to speak Polish and German, and used this ability during D-Day.
-- Philip Streczyk and D-Day
Streczyk is famous for being one of the first men off the beach at Omaha Beach. He served in the 1st. Infantry Division under Lieutenant John M. Spalding.
Streczyk and his men helped make the D-Day breakthrough at Omaha Beach possible. His platoon landed on the Easy Red sector, and made it to the shingle embankment largely intact, unlike most of the first wave.
However instead of attacking up the beach exits, as was planned, Philip instead helped to find and clear a path up the mined bluffs, left of Exit E-1. Streczyk courageously exposed himself to intense enemy fire and utilized antitank grenades to silence two enemy guns, thereby enabling his unit to continue its advance.
Once at the top, he attacked the enemy fortifications from the rear, clearing out trenches and pillboxes along Exit E-1 and taking prisoners.
He was able to interrogate several of the Ost battalion POWs because he spoke fluent Polish, German, and English. Later on D-Day, he was involved in actions further inland.
For his actions on D-Day, Streczyk was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Great Britain's Military Medal. His company commander later called him:
"The greatest unsung
hero of World War II".
He saw action in five other major battles during World War II, including Tunisia, Sicily, and Hurtgen. He was awarded the Silver Star four times. His six theaters earned him six Bronze Stars.
One of Philip's children, Ron Streczyk later recounted:
"After D-Day, during the Normandy fighting,
one of Tech Sergeant Streczyk's men was
severely wounded in a firefight.
The stricken soldier's jaw was gone and he
begged for death. The sergeant obliged,
and put him out of his misery. Later he felt
guilty about it."
-- Philip Streczyk's Subsequent World War II Service
Streczyk continued to fight through Normandy, the Mons Pocket, Aachen, and finally the brutal Battle of Hürtgen Forest. In total, he logged 440 days of combat.
During the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, Streczyk reached a breaking point. He shook uncontrollably and babbled incoherently to the point where he had to be evacuated from the front lines with a suspected case of combat fatigue.
His case was so severe that he needed to be evacuated to the United States Army General Hospital, Camp Butner, in the United States. In an interview with a journalist during his convalescence, he called his unit:
"The best platoon
a man ever had".
He was subsequently discharged from the U.S. Army. His Distinguished Service Cross was pinned onto him by Dwight D. Eisenhower on the 2nd. July 1944. Field Marshal Montgomery also personally awarded him the British Military Medal about a week later.
-- Philip Streczyk's Post-War Life and Suicide
Streczyk became a builder in Florida. He married Sophie Karanewsky, and they had four children.
Philip had frequent nightmares, and was in persistent pain from the physical and emotional wounds he sustained during his time in combat. This ultimately led to his suicide at the age of 39 on the 25th. June 1958, a delayed casualty of the horror of D-Day.
Philip was laid to rest at the Church of Religious Science in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The church is no longer active. The cemetery is on private property and not easily accessible.
Philip's brother John and their father Andrew are also buried there.
-- The Traumatic Death of John Spalding
Philip's commander John Spalding also came to a traumatic end. On the evening of the 6th. November 1959, Spalding’s wife shot him with a brand-new .22 caliber rifle.
The bullet entered his left side below his ribs, tearing his aorta, and he bled to death on the bedroom floor of their modest one-story home. Spalding, a hero of history’s greatest invasion, was dead at the age of 44.

About a year ago, I got a message from someone at Mercedes-Benz. They wanted to make a book with photos of their cars taken by “real people” and with the stories behind these photos, and an old test shot of mine had made it into their selection.
To cut a long story short: I made a proper scan of the negative, signed an agreement, and some time later I got some cash (quite a lot for a test shot actually) and a copy of the book. It has a fancy lenticular cover featuring two different sets of 25 thumbnail images each. Actually I didn’t even notice that my photo was also on the cover until today when I started figuring out how to document this “milestone” photographically.
The book, titled “Through the eyes of the world”, contains short forewords from Dieter Zetsche (the CEO of Daimler AG), Stewart Butterfield (one of the Flickr co-founders), and Uwe Düttmann (a renowned photographer who directed many campaigns for Mercedes-Benz).
Unfortunately, “published” is not the whole truth in that the book is not really available for purchase—instead, they are giving it away to a selection of Mercedes-Benz customers. But there is a Flickr group (“Mercedes-Benz—Through the Eyes of the World”) which aims at putting all the photos from the book in one place.

Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics
By Michael Vance
Although the components of comic strips had existed for thousands of years in varying forms and places, it was R. F. Outcault who put dialogue, story, art, and characters together to create the comic strip. His “Yellow Kid” began on Oct. 18, 1896 in the “American Humorist”. Yes, Virginia, America did create comic books and strips.
Oddly enough, readers had to wait until 1977 for the definitive book on strips to be published by the Smithsonian Institution. It is called “Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics” and is big enough – 336 pages – and heavy enough to make your coffee table moan … with pleasure. Its editors, Bill Blackbeard and Martin Williams, have collected over a thousand examples of the world’s most popular artform in this volume, and it’s a delight to read.
What’s inside? The familiar: “Popeye”, “Pogo”, “Peanuts,” “Little Orphan Annie”, “Alley Oop”, “Little Abner”, “Dick Tracy”, “Tarzan”, “Flash Gordon” and hundreds more. Unless you’re a comics strip historian, you’ll also find the unfamiliar: “Little Nemo in Slumberland”, “Bringing Up Father”, “Krazy Kat”, “The Gumps”, “Barnaby”, “The Katzenjammer Kids”, “The Bungle Family”, and “Our Boarding House”. Although most are reprinted in black and white, there are dozens of beautiful color pages as well.
You’ll also find one of the most comprehensive and well written histories on comic strips ever written. You’ll learn that “Mutt and Jeff” was the first daily comic strip, beginning in 1907 in San Francisco. It was also the first nationally syndicated daily strip. You’ll discover that “Buck Rogers” was the first science-fiction strip. You’ll learn that almost all of the first strips featured “naughty” children, and were not written for an audience of children.
And you’ll come away from reading this massive, oversized volume with a new respect for this American artform. At the very least, you’ll leave with a warm feeling of nostalgia for the days you spent having the “Funnies” read to you by mom and dad.
You may order this collection from the Smithsonian or through your local bookstore. So, whatcha waitin’ for? Go. Buy. Enjoy!!
I'm so excited to share with you that my Gratitude Pages have been published in the April issue of Art Journaling Magazine! More at my blog.
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by Penrose & Palmer of Oxford. The card, which has a divided back, was printed by The Vandyck Printers Ltd. of Bristol.
Queen's College Oxford
Queen's College Oxford was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield in honour of Queen Philippa of Hainaut (wife of King Edward III of England). The college is distinguished by its predominantly neoclassical architecture, which includes buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.
In 2015, the college had an endowment of £265 million, making it the fifth wealthiest college (after St. John's, Christ Church, All Souls and Merton).
In April 2012, as part of the celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, a series of commemorative stamps were released featuring A-Z pictures of famous British landmarks. Queen's College's front quad was used on the Q stamp, alongside other landmarks such as the Angel of the North on A and the Old Bailey on O.
The most famous feast of the College is the Boar's Head Gaudy, which originally was the Christmas Dinner for members of the College who were unable to return home over the Christmas break between terms, but is now a feast for old members of the College on the Saturday before Christmas.
Queen's College Alumni
Alumni of Queen's include:
- Tony Abbott, 28th Prime Minister of Australia
- Rowan Atkinson, actor and comedian, known for Blackadder and Mr. Bean
- Jeremy Bentham, English philosopher, and legal and social reformer
- Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web
- Cory Booker, United States Senator from New Jersey
- Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles
- Leonard Hoffmann, Baron Hoffmann, English jurist and judge
- Edmund Halley, English astronomer
- King Henry V of England
- Edwin Powell Hubble, American astronomer
- Sir John Peel, gynaecologist to H.M. Queen Elizabeth II
- Leopold Stokowski, conductor.
'Oxford in War-Time'
During the Great War, a man named W. Snow was inspired to write a poem called 'Oxford in War-Time'.
Snow prefaces his poem with the following:
'The Boat Race will not be held this year (1915).
The whole of last year's Oxford eight and the
great majority of the cricket and football teams
are serving the King'.
The poem is as follows:
'Under the tow-path past the barges
Never an eight goes flashing by;
Never a blatant coach on the marge is
Urging his crew to do or die;
Never the critic we knew enlarges,
Fluent, on How and Why!
Once by the Iffley Road November
Welcomed the Football men aglow,
Covered with mud, as you'll remember,
Eager to vanquish Oxford's foe.
Where are the teams of last December?
Gone - where they had to go!
Where are her sons who waged at cricket
Warfare against the foeman-friend?
Far from the Parks, on a harder wicket,
Still they attack and still defend;
Playing a greater game, they'll stick it,
Fearless until the end!
Oxford's goodliest children leave her,
Hastily thrusting books aside;
Still the hurrying weeks bereave her,
Filling her heart with joy and pride;
Only the thought of you can grieve her,
You who have fought and died'.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee
Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS RDI FRSA DFBCS FREng was born on the 8th. June 1955. Also known as TimBL, he is an English computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the HTML markup language, the URL system, and HTTP.
He is a professorial research fellow at the University of Oxford, and a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Berners-Lee proposed an information management system on the 12th. March 1989, and implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet in mid-November.
He devised and implemented the first Web browser and Web server, and helped foster the Web's subsequent explosive development. He is the founder and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the continued development of the Web.
Tim co-founded (with Rosemary Leith) the World Wide Web Foundation. In April 2009, he was elected as Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences.
Berners-Lee is a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com founder's chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
In 2011, he was named as a member of the board of trustees of the Ford Foundation. He is a founder and president of the Open Data Institute, and is currently an advisor at social network MeWe.
In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. He received the 2016 Turing Award:
"... for inventing the World Wide Web, the first
web browser, and the fundamental protocols
and algorithms allowing the Web to scale".
He was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th. century, and has received many other accolades for his invention.
-- Tim Berners-Lee - The Early Years
Tim Berners-Lee was born in London, the son of mathematicians and computer scientists Mary Lee Woods (1924–2017) and Conway Berners-Lee (1921–2019). His parents were both from Birmingham, and worked on the Ferranti Mark 1, the first commercially-built computer.
He has three younger siblings; his brother, Mike, is a professor of ecology and climate change management.
Berners-Lee attended Sheen Mount Primary School, then attended Emanuel School (a direct grant grammar school at the time) from 1969 to 1973. A keen trainspotter as a child, he learnt about electronics from tinkering with a model railway.
From 1973 to 1976, he studied at The Queen's College, Oxford, where he received a first-class BA in physics. While there, he made a computer out of an old television set he had purchased from a repair shop.
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Career and Research
After graduation, Berners-Lee worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole, Dorset.
In 1978, he joined D. G. Nash in Ferndown, Dorset, where he helped create typesetting software for printers.
Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor at CERN from June to December 1980. While in Geneva, he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers.
To demonstrate it, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.
After leaving CERN in late 1980, Tim went to work at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd. in Bournemouth, Dorset, where he ran the company's technical side for three years.
The project he worked on was a "real-time remote procedure call" which gave him experience in computer networking. In 1984, he returned to CERN as a fellow.
In 1989, CERN was the largest Internet node in Europe, and Berners-Lee saw an opportunity to join hypertext with the Internet:
"I just had to take the hypertext idea and
connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and—
ta-da!—the World Wide Web."
Tim also recalled:
"Creating the web was really an act of desperation,
because the situation without it was very difficult
when I was working at CERN later.
Most of the technology involved in the web, like the
hypertext, like the Internet, multifont text objects,
had all been designed already.
I just had to put them together. It was a step of
generalising, going to a higher level of abstraction,
thinking about all the documentation systems out
there as being possibly part of a larger imaginary
documentation system."
Berners-Lee wrote his proposal in March 1989 and, in 1990, redistributed it. It was accepted by his manager, Mike Sendall, who called his proposals:
"Vague, but exciting."
Robert Cailliau had independently proposed a project to develop a hypertext system at CERN, and joined Berners-Lee as a partner in his efforts to get the web off the ground. They used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web, for which Berners-Lee designed and built the first web browser.
Tim's software also functioned as an editor (called WorldWideWeb, running on the NeXTSTEP operating system), and the first Web server, CERN HTTPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon).
Berners-Lee published the first web site, which described the project itself, on the 20th. December 1990; it was available to the Internet from the CERN network.
The site provided an explanation of what the World Wide Web was, and how people could use a browser and set up a web server, as well as how to get started with your own website.
On the 6th. August 1991, Berners-Lee first posted, on Usenet, a public invitation for collaboration with the WorldWideWeb project.
In a list of 80 cultural moments that shaped the world, chosen by a panel of 25 eminent scientists, academics, writers and world leaders, the invention of the World Wide Web was ranked number one, with the entry stating:
"The fastest growing communications medium
of all time, the Internet has changed the shape
of modern life forever. We can connect with
each other instantly, all over the world."
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the W3C at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web.
Berners-Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. The World Wide Web Consortium decided that its standards should be based on royalty-free technology, so that they easily could be adopted by anyone.
In 2001, Berners-Lee became a patron of the East Dorset Heritage Trust, having previously lived in Colehill in Wimborne, East Dorset. In December 2004, he accepted a chair in computer science at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, Hampshire, to work on the Semantic Web.
In a Times article in October 2009, Berners-Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes ("//") in a web address were "unnecessary". He told the newspaper that he easily could have designed web addresses without the slashes. In his lighthearted apology he said:
"There you go, it seemed like
a good idea at the time."
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Policy Work
In June 2009, then-British prime minister Gordon Brown announced that Berners-Lee would work with the UK government in order to help make data more open and accessible on the Web, building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force.
Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind data.gov.uk, a UK government project to open up almost all data acquired for official purposes for free re-use.
Commenting on the opening up of Ordnance Survey data in April 2010, Berners-Lee said:
"The changes signal a wider cultural change
in government, based on an assumption that
information should be in the public domain
unless there is a good reason not to — not
the other way around."
He went on to say:
"Greater openness, accountability and
transparency in Government will give
people greater choice and make it
easier for individuals to get more
directly involved in issues that matter
to them."
In November 2009, Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web Foundation (WWWF) in order to campaign:
"To advance the Web to empower humanity
by launching transformative programs that
build local capacity to leverage the Web as
a medium for positive change".
Berners-Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favour of net neutrality, and has expressed the view that:
"ISPs should supply connectivity with no strings
attached, and should neither control nor monitor
the browsing activities of customers without their
expressed consent."
Tim advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right:
"Threats to the Internet, such as companies
or governments that interfere with or snoop
on Internet traffic, compromise basic human
network rights."
As of May 2012, Tim is president of the Open Data Institute, which he co-founded with Nigel Shadbolt in 2012.
The Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) was launched in October 2013, and Berners-Lee is leading the coalition of public and private organisations that includes Google, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft.
The A4AI seeks to make Internet access more affordable, so that access is broadened in the developing world, where only 31% of people are online. Berners-Lee is working with those aiming to decrease Internet access prices so that they fall below the UN Broadband Commission's worldwide target of 5% of monthly income.
Berners-Lee holds the founders chair in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he heads the Decentralized Information Group and is leading Solid, a joint project with the Qatar Computing Research Institute that aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy.
In October 2016, he joined the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University as a professorial research fellow, and as a fellow of Christ Church, one of the Oxford colleges.
From the mid-2010's Berners-Lee initially remained neutral on the emerging Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) proposal with its controversial digital rights management (DRM) implications.
In March 2017 he felt he had to take a position which was to support the EME proposal. He reasoned EME's virtues whilst noting DRM was inevitable. As W3C director, he went on to approve the finalised specification in July 2017.
Tim's stance was opposed by some, including Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the anti-DRM campaign, Defective by Design, and the Free Software Foundation. Varied concerns raised included being not supportive of the Internet's open philosophy against commercial interests, and risks of users being forced to use a particular web browser to view specific DRM content.
The EFF raised a formal appeal which did not succeed, and the EME specification became a formal W3C recommendation in September 2017.
On the 30th. September 2018, Berners-Lee announced his new open-source startup Inrupt to fuel a commercial ecosystem around the Solid project, which aims to give users more control over their personal data and lets them choose where the data goes, who's allowed to see certain elements and which apps are allowed to see that data.
In November 2019 at the Internet Governance Forum in Berlin Berners-Lee and the WWWF launched Contract for the Web, a campaign initiative to persuade governments, companies and citizens to commit to nine principles to stop "misuse", with the warning that:
"Ff we don't act now – and act together –
to prevent the web being misused by
those who want to exploit, divide and
undermine, we are at risk of squandering
its potential for good."
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Awards and Honours
Tim Berners-Lee's entry in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century (March 1999) reads as follows:
"He wove the World Wide Web and created a mass
medium for the 21st century. The World Wide Web
is Berners-Lee's alone. He designed it. He loosed it
on the world. And he more than anyone else has
fought to keep it open, nonproprietary and free."
Berners-Lee has received many awards and honours. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2004 New Year Honours:
"For services to the global development
of the Internet."
On the 13th. June 2007, he was appointed to the Order of Merit (OM), an order restricted to 24 living members, plus any honorary members. Bestowing membership of the Order of Merit is within the personal purview of the Sovereign, and does not require recommendation by ministers or the Prime Minister.
Tim was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2001. He was also elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2004 and the National Academy of Engineering in 2007.
He has been conferred honorary degrees from a number of universities around the world, including Manchester (his parents worked on the Manchester Mark 1 in the 1940's), Harvard and Yale.
In 2012, Berners-Lee was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork – the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires to mark his 80th. birthday.
In 2013, he was awarded the inaugural Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. On the 4th. April 2017, Tim received the 2016 Association for Computing Machinery's Turing Award for his invention of the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and their fundamental protocols and algorithms.
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Personal Life
Berners-Lee has said
"I like to keep work and
personal life separate."
Berners-Lee married Nancy Carlson, an American computer programmer, in 1990. She was also working in Switzerland at the World Health Organization. They had two children and divorced in 2011.
In 2014, he married Rosemary Leith at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace in London. Leith is a Canadian Internet and banking entrepreneur, and a founding director of Berners-Lee's World Wide Web Foundation. The couple also collaborate on venture capital to support artificial intelligence companies.
Berners-Lee was raised as an Anglican, but he turned away from religion in his youth. After he became a parent, he became a Unitarian Universalist (UU). When asked whether he believes in God, he stated:
"Not in the sense of most people, I'm
atheist and Unitarian Universalist."
The web's source code was auctioned by Sotheby's in London in 2021, as a non-fungible token (NFT) by TimBL. Selling for US$5,434,500, it was reported the proceeds would be used to fund initiatives by TimBL and Leith.

Jay was home-educated by his mother at Kilmacolm, then at Inverness Royal Academy. He then went to Edinburgh University to study agriculture, but decided to also study botany as a joint degree.
He continued as a postgraduate in botany, gaining his doctorate in 1935. He then began lecturing in botany at St. Andrews University, and was given his Professorship in 1961. In the same year he became the joint founder and official keeper of St Andrews Botanic Garden.
In the Second World War Jay served as a flight lieutenant in the RAF in India and Malaya, mainly working in radar.
In 1940 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Robert James Douglas Graham, Sir William Wright Smith, Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson and Alexander Nelson. He served as Vice President of the Society from 1961 to 1964.
-- Bibliography of Jay MacDonald

-- Retirement and Death of Jay MacDonald
Jay retired in 1977, and in later life he developed a love of golf, and was ideally located in St. Andrews for this pastime. He was also a keen angler.
James died in St Andrews on the 26th. April 1997.
I know, it's not Universal Studios or Time Magazine, but my name and pic are in a Zen Buddhist journal. They sent me the article that my pic is in. Not the whole journal. How cool is that??
No, I didn't get paid for it and I'm A-OK with that.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 9th of October 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.
Copies of this photograph may be ordered from us, for more information see: www.newcastle.gov.uk/tlt Please make a note of the image reference number above to help speed up your order.
My first magazine cover! Woot! This is for the Greater Houston Partnership magazine Here is Houston. For someone who lives mostly in the digital world (even with her film) it's so wonderful to see my work in print and especially on a cover. Makes me almost feel like a real photographer. You can see the original photo here.

Money was known for his controversial sexual identity study on David Reimer.
David Reimer
David Reimer, who was born in Winnipeg on the 22nd. August 1965, was a Canadian born male. However he was raised as a girl following medical advice and intervention after his penis was severely injured during a botched circumcision in infancy.
David was ostracised and bullied by peers (who dubbed him "Cavewoman"), and neither frilly dresses nor female hormones made him feel female.
In addition to his difficult lifelong relationship with his parents, Reimer had to deal with unemployment, and with the death of his brother Brian from an overdose of antidepressants on the 1st. July 2002.
On the 2nd. May 2004, David's wife Jane told him she wanted to separate. On the morning of the 4th. May 2004, Reimer drove to a grocery store's parking lot in his hometown of Winnipeg and took his own life by shooting himself in the head with a sawn-off shotgun.
David Reimer was 38 years of age when he died. He was laid to rest at St. Vital Cemetery in Winnipeg.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by the Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London and Tunbridge Wells. It was posted in Scotstoun, Glasgow using a 1d. stamp on Tuesday the 26th. July 1927. It was sent to:
T. L. MacDonald Esq., MA., B.Sc.,
GEA Summer School,

T. L. McDonald
Thomas Logie MacDonald was born in 1901. He was awarded a B.Sc. and an MA from Glasgow University, and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh on the 5th. March 1928.
Thomas was an astronomer and politician, and an extra-mural lecturer in astronomy at Glasgow University. He was also a director of the British Astronomical Association (Lunar Section) from 1938, serving throughout WWII until 1946. At this time he lived at 9 Colebrooke Terrace in Glasgow.
Thomas was also a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.
The lunar crater McDonald was named after him, even though he called himself MacDonald.
Thomas resigned from the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1961. He became a Labour councillor, and in May 1961 was appointed Mayor of Carlisle from May 1961 to 1962. The Carlisle/Flensburg (Germany) town-twinning relationship was established during his mayoral term.

Swallow Falls
Swallow Falls (Welsh: Rhaeadr y Wennol; 'Waterfall of the Swallow'; or Rhaeadr Ewynnol; 'Foaming Waterfall') is a multiple waterfall system in Wales, on the River Llugwy near Betws-y-Coed in Conwy County Borough.
The name Swallow Falls derives from the fact that the flow of the river is separated by a prominent rock into two streams of water that look like a swallow's tail.
-- History of Swallow Falls
It was suggested in 1899 that the Falls could be used to generate electricity for the nearby village of Betws-y-Coed, as well as overhead lighting for the falls.
In 1913 Lord Ancaster, the landowner, gave Swallow Falls to the local council, who decided to charge for visiting it in order to pay off some of the £15,000 debt incurred through the installation of water and electricity supplies to the village.
Once the debt was cleared the parish retained the fee, resulting in Betws-y-Coed having the lowest rates in the country. However the cheap water and electricity rates ended after local government reorganisation in 1974.
By the 1930's, the waterfall had become a popular tourist destination, although there were few visitors during the winter off-season. A writer in the Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer of the 17th. January 1933, described the waterfall as:
"... coming over the rocks in a
perfect torrent, peerless white
in the dusk."
In 1939, Richard Morris, the former chairman of the local council, was charged with making false entries in the upkeep of the tolls. There was a total deficiency of £67 15s 6d. However by the time the charge was laid, Morris had already repaid the sum.
A Resolution in China
So what happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 26th. July 1927, the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, China's ruling Nationalist Party, passed a resolution expelling Communists from its membership, and calling for the outlawing of the Chinese Communist Party.
The Birth of the Nanchang Uprising
Also on that day, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party met to plan what would become the Nanchang uprising.
Present at the meeting was V. K. Bliuker, a Soviet representative for Comintern, the Communist International organization, which was deciding whether to continue its support of Mao Zedong as the person to lead the spread of communism to China.
The Suppression of a Revolt
Also on the 26th. July 1927, French Army General Georges Catroux called a press conference in order to announce that the Syrian revolt by the Jabal Druze minority had been suppressed.
He also denied rumors that France would give up on its responsibilities for the Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon.
Danny La Rue
The day also marked the birth in Cork of Daniel Carroll, who later adopted the stage name of Danny La Rue.
Danny, who was a British comedian and impressionist, died in 2009.
More on Danny below.
June Mathis
The 26th. July 1927 also marked the death at the age of 40 of the American film executive June Mathis.
June Mathis was born June Beulah Hughes on the 30th. January 1887 in Leadville, Lake County, Colorado, USA
June, who was also a screenwriter, is known for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Blood and Sand.
June died of a heart attack while watching a Broadway play at the 48th. Street Theatre in Manhattan, New York County.
June was laid to rest at Hollywood Forever, Hollywood, California at the Cathedral Mausoleum, Crypt 1199 (to the left of Rudolph Valentino).
More on June below.

Bagattelle d’Inverno, l’ultima grande sfida #snellobb04
Birichinate, cammuffamenti, trasvestimenti, scherzi… insomma, in una parola: Carnevale!
Comunque lo si dica e comunque lo si festeggi, il Carnevale è da secoli una festa in cui la parola d’ordine è “divertirsi”.
Quindi, bando all’austerità e bando alle restrizioni, potevamo, noi di MondoSnello, non cogliere quest’occasione perfetta di Gusto e di Benessere, per vivere l’ultimo grande appuntamento delle gare di cucina di Snello Blind Box?
Eccoci qui, allora, amici di Mondosnello, estimatori dei prodotti Snello Rovagnati e appassionati Food Blogger che partecipate con noi ormai da un tempo che comincia a farsi lungo, perfino “tradizionale” (proprio come ci piace ;-)) a darvi il benvenuto a questa quarta sfida tra pentole, fornelli e… qualcosa di speciale – sennò che Carnevale è!
I fantasiosi piatti saranno assaggiati e votati da una giuria di esperti gastronomi di altissimo livello, a cominciare da Gil Grigliatti, gourmet di cultura ed esperienza internazionale. Da giovane è stato fiduciario Slow Food, nonché ispettore della guida dei ristoranti del Gambero Rosso per diversi anni. Autore del blog bilingue di cultura enogastronomica isymposium.org. Ancora Paolo Barichella, esperto di Food Design, autore del blog barichella.it; Alessia Cipolla, architetto e sommelier, autrice de lacostruzionedelgusto.it; Alessandro Salamone, reduce dalla trasmissione di La7 Chef per un giorno, autore di spaghettibites.com e ancora Angela Tomaiuolo co-fondatrice del web magazine milanodabere.it. Inoltre sarà presente Giacomo Kratter, otto volte campione italiano ed ora allenatore della Nazionale Italiana Snowboard. Quella da snowboard però non è l’unica tavola che ama: infatti Giacomo è un grande appassionato di cucina e adora farsi coccolare in ristoranti di lusso.
La giuria per l’occasione sarà presenziata dallo chef stellato e pluripremiato Davide Scabin, uno dei più apprezzati in Italia e all’estero, noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione, nei panni di giudice dei cuochi in gara, a La Prova del Cuoco condotto su Rai1 da Antonella Clerici.
Per questo, abbiamo deciso di mettere insieme una serie di ingredienti saporiti, variegati, originali, proprio come in ogni ricetta gourmet che si rispetti:
- un pizzico di tradizione – la sede di InKitchen Loft, che ormai è prontissima ad accoglierci, in qualunque veste ci presentiamo
- e uno di modernità – quello che emana netto dalle protagoniste della gara, giovani donne che si muovono agili tra vite professionali sfidanti e articolati ménage familiari
- una buona dose di fantasia - fatta di maschere, costumi e colori sgargianti
- e l’ingrediente segreto – le nostre amate BlindBox, chiuse fino all’ultimo secondo anche al più ardito degli sguardi
- il tutto cosparso con una spruzzata di giocosità bambina – grazie a un buon numero di piccoli “scavezzacollo” che avranno il loro tavolo, i loro ingredienti, i loro cibi, e soprattutto una chef d’eccezione - Stefania Corrado, la “Multitasking Chef” che più che presentazioni merita i nostri più sentiti complimenti ;-) – a guidarli alla scoperta del buon cibo, del gusto e del mangiare bene… sapendolo preparare.
Già, perché, in fondo, soprattutto in un’era estremamente tecnologica come la nostra e come quella di quell’immediato futuro in cui saranno loro i protagonisti del mondo – far mettere “le mani in pasta” ai nostri bimbi lo consideriamo un onore, oltre che un piccolo grande contributo all’educazione dei “buoni mangiatori” di domani…
Amanti della cucina, appassionate del gusto, attente all’armonia dei sapori e alla cura per la buona e la bella tavola
Estimatrici di ricette snelle - per velocità, capacità, leggerezza - esperte nella valorizzazione degli ingredienti di stagione e nella rivisitazione moderna di piatti tradizionali, si sfideranno, si concentreranno su pentole e fornelli dimenticando tutto il resto, per dare il meglio di sé.
Ecco le Food Blogger di Snello BlindBox 04 – Bagattelle d'Inverno, vere animatrici dell'evento, che con le loro ricette e la loro esperienza renderanno onore ai prodotti Snello, Gusto e Benessere.
Loro si presentano così...
Lina D’Ambrosio
spadellatissima.com
Quando le chiedi di descriversi ,lei si presenta così: "Sono industrial designer e grafica, con una grande passione, quella del Food Blogging". Eppure non è tutto: inguaribile amante del buon cibo, dei viaggi, dell'arte e della fotografia, è sempre irresistibilmente affascinata mdai molteplici modi in cui un animo creativo può riuscire a esprimersi. Una frase che la descrive: "Mi piacciono la semplicità e la genuinità delle cose fatte in casa."
Serena Oliva
cucchiaiodistelle.com
Nella vita professionale, è architetto e designer, e per questo studia la relazione tra gli esseri umani e la tecnologia. Tuttavia, ha anche un'altra vita, quella da foodie, in cui è innanzitutto una mamma e una Food Blogger che progetta ricette, cucina piatti colorati, sani e golosi, cuoce il pane in casa e disegna insieme ai suoi bambini. Il motto che ha scelto per sé? "If in doubt, bake a cake"
Irene Prandi
Psicologa, piemontese, animata da una vera passione per la comunicazione e la condivisione, ha trovato nell'arte del cibo un mezzo straordinario per celebrare entrambe. Il suo viaggio da Food Blogger inizia con un blog creato in sordina, tuttavia in molti la notano e in ancora di più la seguono. Insomma, et voilà, il suo cammino continua rigoglioso, condito da sapori, ricette, un grande amore per il territorio, e tanta curiosità per tutto ciò che è "altro".
Arianna Vianelli
unafranciacortinaincucina.com
Non c'è dubbio, il suo nome è già un affermazione forte e chiara. Dice subito chi è e da dove viene. Almeno tanto quanto il suo blog nato dal desiderio di ritagliarsi uno spazio tutto proprio dove raccogliere e condividere le sue più grandi passioni: la cucina, il vino, gli amici e la Franciacorta.
Insomma, semplicità e ironia, ricette ed eventi, vini locali
e non solo, sono gli ingredienti di "una franciacortina in cucina".
Quindi, tra la stuzzicante prospettiva di gustosissimi lecca lecca di parmigiano con crudo e bresaola e prove di formine su pasta sfoglia con fette di prosciutto, in attesa delle prelibatezze imprevedibili che ci prepareranno le nostre sfidanti – adulte ;-) – non resta che invitarvi a conoscere un po’ meglio Lina, Serena, Irene e Arianna, giovani, pimpanti e agguerrite Food Blogger che ancora una volta ci delizieranno di una versione inconsueta e sorprendente dei prodotti che amiamo di più, con un occhio attento, come sempre, alla stagionalità.
SnelloBlindBox_04_CucinaTuVi abbracciamo, dunque, in un turbinio di coriandoli che non lascia presagire niente di… scontato :-)
e invitiamo tutti voi a fare festa con noi a Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno il 6 marzo 2014, alle ore 18.30 e – perché no – a cimentarvi, insieme alle nostre “chef per passione”, in ricette e piatti che, siamo sicuri, saranno gustosissimi. Come raccogliere la sfida? Semplice, partecipando a Snello BlindBox CucinaTu – l’iniziativa pensata apposta per la #gente_di_MondoSnello che ormai ci segue da molto tempo.
In attesa di assaporare tutto il meglio che Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno saprà regalarci – e non abbiamo dubbi - a presto!
