Nebamun was a Egyptian scribe and grain-counter who died around 1350 B.C. He is now remembered for his tomb, in the necropolis at Thebes, and its painting - eleven of them (including this) is now on display at British Museum. This one depicts servants who bring offerings - desert hares, sheaves of grains and other. This was a common theme in Egyptian grave paintings.
There’s a new game
We like to play you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog
Get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It’s a lot like life
This play between the sheets
With yo on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
It’s a lot like life
And that’s what’s appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination’s the name of the game
In bed or in life
They’re both just the same
Except in one you’re fulfilled
At the end of the day
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
Let’s play master and servant
Come on master and servant
The Confederation Building is a office building in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Located just west of the Parliament Buildings at Bank Street and Wellington Street, it is generally considered part of Parliament Hill.
The "civil gothic" structure was designed by Richard Cotsman Wright and Thomas W. Fuller. Work on the Confederation Building began when the cornerstone was laid by the Governor General Lord Willingdon as part of the celebrations of Canada's Diamond Jubilee in 1942.
The building, now managed by Public Works Canada, originally housed employees of several federal government departments, with the Department of Agriculture usually the largest tenant. It is currently home to senior civil servants and a number of elected members of Parliament (MP's) and junior Federal Cabinet Ministers. Many Conservative Party of Canada MP's, Liberal Party of Canada MP's, and New Democratic Party of Canada MP's have their offices in the building, along with some junior cabinet members.
In 1988, the Canadian federal government designated the structure as a Classified Federal Heritage Building. The Confederation Building has long been an Ottawa landmark and favoured photographic subject for tourists visiting the National Capital Region of Canada.
Ruin of Teylingen Castle
The ruin of Teylingen Castle is a round moated castle that dominates the flat landscape. Originally there was only a ring wall; the keep was added later in the thirteenth century. In addition to the current castle, there was an extensive outer castle, which was also surrounded by a moat. A comfortable and luxurious house was built here in the fourteenth century.
The castle today consists of the still impressive round castle (37 m in diameter) on a castle island surrounded by a wide moat. On the inside of the wall you can see large savings arches on which a wall corridor has been placed. The massive residential building had also been erected against the wall. It is now an empty hull, but it used to have four storeys, the first of which was vaulted. The beam holes of the top floors can still be seen in the interior.
The castle was originally inhabited by the lords of Teylingen. The castle served to protect the Rijndijk and the road to Haarlem. The lords of Teylingen first appear in 1143. It is likely that the lords of Teylingen had borrowed the castle and the surrounding land from a count. In 1282 this family died out in the male line and the castle passed to the count.
The castle was given the function of hunting lodge and forester by the Dutch counts and the feudal man was given the title of forester and actually became a kind of civil servant with responsibility for management.
The most famous forester was Jacoba van Bavaria (1433). She came from the highest noble circles, but due to an unwanted marriage to Frank van Borsele had forfeited her rights to countlessness. She died of TB in 1436.
The castle was badly damaged during the Eighty Years' War. In 1572, during the siege of Haarlem and Leiden, Teylingen fell prey to the Spaniards and was reduced to ruin.
In 1888, the now heavily neglected castle was transferred to the state and the management of the monument was mainly focused on preservation and only since 1933 has further deterioration been prevented by constructive measures.
Since 1 June 2013, the ruin has been managed by: Stichting Beheer Kasteel Teylingen.

Looking from the east in the morning, the side entrance to Kersefontein. Everybody can and does use it now, not just the servants...
Around 140 km/85 miles north of Cape Town, Kersefontein is a farmstead with many period Cape Dutch buildings, some dating back to the late 18th Century... very old in South Africa.
Originally purchased by settler Martin Melck in 1770, Kersefontein remains in the possession of the eighth generation of his descendants. The first deed described the farm as a 'zeker Veepost' (certain cattle post) and it remains used to farm sheep, cattle, horses and wheat as it has for a quarter of a millennium. It is also available for farm-stays.
The Cathedral.
The astronomical clock of the cathedral, the Horologium mirabile Lundense, was made around 1424. After having been in storage since 1837, it was restored and put back in place in 1923.
When it plays, one can hear In dulci jubilo from the smallest organ in the church, while six wooden figures, representing the three magi and their servants, pass by Mary and Jesus. The clock plays two times a day, at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. every day, except on Sundays when the earliest playing takes place at 1:00 p.m. in order not to interrupt the morning service.
On top of the clock there are two knights that mark the hours. The upper board of the clock is the astronomical clock. It shows, among other things, the different phases of the Moon and where the Sun sets.
The lower board of the clock is a calendar. With the help of it one can, among other things, calculate when different mobile religious holidays will fall and on which weekday a certain date will fall. In the middle of the calendar stands Saint Lawrence, the Patron Saint of the Cathedral, and by his side the Symbols of the Four Evangelists. The present board of the clock goes from 1923 to 2123, after that a new one must be obtained so that the clock can be used.

OH LOOK !!!! The servants quarters has received some updates a furnace a foundation, eleven computers for seven rooms. My Mind begs a question? How much finances could be raised if this building served to answer the question of how servants were housed and the life they lived in servitude of the day. (Possibly a trailer (KENT) could be used for staff working 5 months of the year.
