The Château Frontenac
The Château Frontenac, which was designed by American architect Bruce Price, was one of a series of château-style hotels built for the Canadian Pacific Railway Company at the end of the 19th. century and the start of the 20th. century. The Château Frontenac opened in 1893, five years after its sister hotel, the Banff Springs.
The hotel is perched upon a tall cape overlooking the Saint Lawrence River, thereby giving spectacular views for many miles. It is the most prominent feature of the Québec city skyline as seen from across the St. Lawrence, and is a symbol of the city.
In 1953 the hotel was used as the filming location for the Alfred Hitchcock drama 'I Confess'.
The Château Frontenac holds the Guinness World Record for being the most photographed hotel in the world.

Humpback Whale Breaching
Personal Note: Having moved several years ago to the Monterey Bay Area in Northern California, I decided to teach myself wildlife photography and concentrate on Marine Mammals of the Monterey Bay, which was self-published as a photo essay book. The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is one of the most abundant marine sanctuaries in the World with extensive academic research facilities studying its inhabitants and health.
One of the species I have concentrated my efforts on has been the highly intelligent and entertaining Humpback Whale. For two years I am been trying to capture them breaching out of the water. With two flips of their flukes they can propel 35 to 50 tons of mammal completely out of the water! Prior to July 6, 2015 I have only been able to photograph them breaching from a distance.
Over the next two weeks I will be posting a series of images from this incredible experience.
Here are some of the photographic issues:
•They never stop moving, even when they place half of their brain on "rest" while the other half navigates for them. When that half has enough rest, the other half takes over.
•Your Whale Boat is moving about 80% of the time. If the Bay is choppy that means it is rocking back and forth as it propels itself forward.
•Other Whale Boats are positioned around the best sites and can ruin your shot.
•We can tell when a breaching Humpback is going to dive. What we cannot tell is if they are going to keep breaching or just feed on the bottom?
•Normally they breach once or twice and stop. The Blue Ocean Whale Watch boat captain has seen Humpbacks breach as many as 70 times. They are based in Moss Landing and I highly recommend them. You can book a trip at: blueoceanwhalewatch.com/contact.
•Therefore, you do not know how long they are going to stay under the water (5-7 mins. is normal) or WHERE OR WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO COME UP, which is always in a different place.
•I keep my camera under my chin and watch over the top of the lens. Once they start to breach, you have 3-5 seconds to find them in your viewfinder and squeeze off a series of shots. If they are less than 1/3rd of my viewfinder I know they are too far away.
•On the way back to port, three different whales did a "Lunge Feed" in unison just like in the Olympic synchronized swimming events. It was extraordinary, but It took us all by surprise and I could not even raise my camera in time.
•We all know whales communicate with each other, but this was an extraordinary example. The three whales dove together, communicated with each other and then raced to the surface side by side with their mouths wide open! They then captured the sardines, anchovies and or krill, filtered out the water, swallowed and dove again. They can take in enormous amounts of water (up to 70% of their body weight) filter out the fish and krill and eject the water.
•It is hard to describe, but three huge whales surfacing with their mouths open, side-by-side, perfectly in unison takes your breath away. I literally snapped my sunglasses in half during the whole breaching experience, but it was a small price to pay. If anyone had gotten a sharp image of these three whales, it would have been a cover story.
•Humpback whales (belong to the class of marine mammals known as rorquals that feed through extraordinarily energetic lunges during which they engulf large volumes of water equal to as much as 70% of their body mass. (Source: Marine Mammal Science)
For those of you that would like to know more about these incredible creatures please read below or visit the source: (www.marinemammalcenter.org/)
HUMPBACK WHALE: Megaptera novaeangliae (meaning of scientific name: (Large-Winged of New England)
BEHAVIOR: Acrobatic humpbacks regularly breach (jump out of the water), stroke each other, and slap the water with their flippers and flukes. Scientists believe these activities are forms of communication because they create a great deal of noise, which can be heard at long distances under water. Humpbacks swim in groups or pods of up to a dozen at calving grounds, and in smaller groups of three to four during migration. Unlike other baleen whales, they can often be seen feeding cooperatively.
DESCRIPTION: The humpback whale was given its common name because of the shape of its dorsal (back) fin and the way it looks when the animal is diving. Its scientific name, Megaptera, means, "large-winged" and refers to its long, white, wing-like flippers that are often as long as one-third of the animal's body length. Humpbacks are gray or black, except for the flippers, parts of the chest and belly, and sometimes the underside of the tail flukes. Each whale has its own unique pattern on the underside of its tail flukes, which can be used like "fingerprints" to identify individual whales. Unique to humpbacks are wartlike round protuberances (bumps or tubricales) that occur on the head forward of the blowhole and on the edges of the flippers. Humpbacks are baleen whales that have 14 to 35 long throat pleats that expand when the whale takes in water while feeding.
Northern Hemisphere humpbacks reach an average length of 49 to 52 feet (15-16 m), and southern humpbacks reach 60 feet (18 m). Females are generally larger than the males. The average weight for a mature adult is 35 to 50 tons.
RANGE/HABITAT: Humpbacks are found in all oceans to the edges of polar ice, and follow definite migration paths from their summer feeding grounds to warmer waters in the winter. In the North Pacific, where their populations reach 15,000, humpbacks feed in the summer along the coast from California to Alaska. In the winter, they migrate to breeding grounds off of Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Japan. The population in California migrates to Mexico and Costa Rica, whereas the Alaskan population migrates to Hawaii.
In feeding, they use baleen plates to strain other small fish such as krill or herring, and plankton out of the water. Their 270-to-400 baleen plates are dark and each is about two and a half feet long. Humpbacks use several different feeding methods. While "lunge feeding," they plow through concentrated areas of food with their huge mouths open, swelling with large quantities of food and water. During "bubble net feeding," which is unique to humpback whales, one or several whales blow a ring of bubbles from their blowholes that encircle a school of krill or fish. The whales then swim through the "net" with their mouths agape, taking in large amounts of food.
Humpbacks are best known for their haunting vocalizations or "singing." They have a rich repertoire that covers many octaves and includes frequencies beyond the threshold of human hearing. These songs, apparently sung by males, last as long as 20 minutes, after which they are repeated, often with slight changes. Each year, the song undergoes changes from the year before, but all males sing the same song. When a whale is singing, it floats suspended in the water, head down and relatively motionless. Behavior such as dominance, aggression, and mate attraction may be related to singing.
MATING AND BREEDING: Females give birth every two or more years. Pregnancies last for 12 months. The calves nurse for eight to eleven months. When weaned, the calves are 24-27 feet (8-9 m) long.
STATUS: Humpbacks are among the most endangered whales and less than 10% of their original population remains. However, in recent years, humpbacks have been observed more and more frequently feeding along the California coast. Nearly 1400 humpbacks feed along the California Coast in the summer and fall. The current word population is estimated between 35-40,000.
The Marine Mammal Center has helped several humpback whales over the years. One famous patient was Humphrey the humpback, who we helped twice. First in 1985, he swam up the Sacramento River, and then in 1990 he was stuck on a mudflat in San Francisco Bay. Both times, we successfully got him back out into ocean. In 2007, a mother and calf pair called Delta and Dawn, received world-wide attention as they swam 75 miles inland up the Sacramento River (going farther than Humphrey). Both had severe wounds from a ship strike. After antibiotics were administered to these free-swimming whales, a first in marine mammal history mom and calf returned to the ocean.

Nina Zilli è un tornado, un vulcano, un’innamorata della musica che t’inchioda con le sue passioni e fantasie prima ancora che tu abbia il tempo di ascoltare una sola delle sue canzoni. Nina (Maria Chiara Fraschetta all’anagrafe) che viene da un paesino della Val Trebbia che ha lasciato presto per l’Irlanda, gli Stati Uniti, dovunque la spingevano i sogni e le fantasie. Nina che è partita dalla musica anni ‘70 per arrivare alla mia musica perfetta: la Motown, l’R&B della Stax, il soul, il pop rock dei primi ‘60, incrociato con amori italiani di Mina e Celentano giovani e con la Giamaica che le fa battere forte il cuore con reggae, rock steady e ska.
All’attivo tantissimi concerti sold out, due dischi di platino, tre d’oro, e tre partecipazioni a Sanremo: nel 2010 nella categoria Nuova Generazione con L’uomo che amava le donne - classificatosi al terzo posto e che vinse il Premio della critica “Mia Martini”, il Premio Sala Stampa Radio Tv e il Premio Assomusica per la Migliore esibizione live tra gli artisti in gara nella sezione giovani, nel 2012 con Per sempre, e nel 2015 Sola. Inoltre ha rappresentato l’Italia all’Eurovision Song Contest con il brano L’Amore è femmina (Out of Love), ha vinto due Wind Music Awards, ed è stata candidata agli MTV Europe Music Awards e ai TRL Awards.
Cantante, e donna di spettacolo a tutto tondo, è protagonista anche in radio e tv: nel 2011 conduce il programma Stay Soul su Rai Radio Due, mentre in tv, dopo alcune esperienze come vee-jay, è co-conduttruice nello show Panariello non esiste su Canale 5, presenta la prima edizione degli MTV Hip Hop Awards su MTV, e da marzo 2015 sarà su SKY Unonella giuria di Italia's Got Talent insieme a Luciana Littizzetto, Claudio Bisio, Frank Matano.
Il 12 febbraio ha pubblicato per Universal Music, il suo terzo album in studio “Frasi&Fumo”: il disco prodotto da uno dei più grandi musicisti e produttori italiani, Mauro Pagani e dalla stessa Nina Zilli, contiene il singolo sanremese Sola.

Attualmente festeggia il suo 50° anno come musicista professionista, tastierista, compositore e broadcaster, Rick Wakeman si esibirà in un concerto di solo pianoforte, il 3 maggio al Teatro Manzoni di Milano.
Nato nei pressi di Londra nel 1949 e diplomato all'Opera della capitale, pianista classico passato alle tastiere, Wakeman – soprannominato "la lunga chioma bionda del rock" - ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '60 come turnista, arrivando a incidere anche trenta pezzi l'anno. Entrato a far parte di uno dei gruppi precursori del rock sinfonico, gli Strawbs, è poi approdato ai mitici Yes, con i quali, in pratica, inventò un nuovo modo di usare le tastiere e il Minimoog, aprendo letteralmente la strada alle moderne tecniche e ai suoni del progressive-rock.
Da ottobre 2016 Rick Wakeman è impegnato con Jon Anderson e Trevor Rabin con il progetto ARW che ha fatto registrare tutti "sold out" negli Stati Uniti e sarà da marzo 2017 in tour in Europa, Israele, Giappone e poi ancora negli Stati Uniti.
Come solista ha inciso tra l'altro "The Six Wives of Henry VIII", altro successo planetario con i suoi oltre 10 milioni di copie vendute. È stato inoltre, per anni, l'arrangiatore di David Bowie con cui ha scritto la celebre "Life on Mars" e di Elton John e ha realizzato album con numerosi altri artisti, tra i quali Cat Stevens, Black Sabbath e Lou Reed.
Il 13 gennaio è uscito l'album "Piano portraits" ed è già un successo in quanto è stato ed è il primo album solista di pianoforte ad entrare nella Top 10 del Regno Unito.
Il disco è composto da 15 brani partendo da "Life on Mars" di David Bowie – canzone per la quale Rick Wakeman registrò le parti originali di pianoforte - e "Space Oddity", a cui ha contribuito con il mellotron, passando attraverso Beatles, Yes e Led Zeppelin. Oltre a pezzi classici composti da Debussy e Tchaikovsky. Ha anche aggiunto una selezione di alcuni dei suoi pezzi classici preferiti (Berceuse, Clair de Lune e Swan Lake).
Lo show comprenderà almeno otto dei pezzi dell'album, più altre sorprese musicali.

Much has been said and published on Tornado, so in short, the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust was formed to construct this fine steam locomotive built at Darlington between 1994 - 2008. All the original members of the 'Peppercorn' class succumbing to the 'scrapman'. 'Tornado' is seen here arriving at Kirkby Stephen with the Northern Rail 10.44 Skipton - Appleby service on 16/02/2017. 'Tornado' was to run normal timetable trains at normal fares over the Settle & Carlisle railway for three days. These being the first timetabled steam hauled services since steam finished in 1968. This was the third day of the services. The Settle & Carlisle line north of Appleby had been closed due to a landslide since February 2016 and was to re-open in March this year. © Peter Steel 2017.
Balding & Mansell were a long established printing company founded in 1892 and based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. In 1963 they published a book entitled 17 graphic designers [in] London that looks at the work of some of the important contemporary British graphic designers. They were; Dennis Baily, Derek Birdsall, George Daulby, George Mayhew, Peter Wildbur, Ian Bradbery, David Collins, Bob Gill, Alan Fletcher, Colin Forbes, Sydney King, Jock Kinneir, Margaret Calvert, Romek Marber, John Sewell, Barry Trengrove and Tom Wolsey. The book devotes four pages or so to each designer and after a brief resumé looks at some of the commercial work they have undertaken for a wide range of clients. The work includes lettering and typefaces, publicity, advertising, signs and corporate identities.
Several pages are devoted to the work of Colin Forbes of Fletcher/Forbes/Gill and who was Consulatnt Art Director for Pirelli UK. He also designed the typeface/lettering used for the "number three passenger building" at London's Heathrow Airport and this appears to have followed on from Matthew Carter's lettering that was used on earlier phases of Heathrow Airport's terminal buildings development under Frederick Gibberd, Consultant Architect. That said, clarification would be gratefully received! Terminal 3 was opened as the Oceanic Terminal on 13 November 1961.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 28th of February 1916.
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 and have any stories or information to add please comment below.
