Mohamed Saleh To all friends and colleagues, those who do not know yet the present case of the mask of Tut-ankh-amun , I would like to tell all of them that the false beard which was badly fixed in the restoration, was safely removed last week. It was thank god done by a German -Egyptian team headed by Christian Eckmann. The false beard might have been fixed in recent times by soldering to the chin of the mask. It was long anticipated that it was fixed to the chin by two slots which received the tenons. I was surprised to find the mask's chin without slots. The work is going now to remove the rests of the glue materials and study the wonderful workmanship of modelling the mask by two layers of gold and some other scientific research. I must congratulate the team and the good opportunity of having a good chance to make this study

На прошлой неделе ритуальная бородка, неверно приклеенная к подбородку погребальной маски Тутанхамона с помощью эпоксидного клея, была благополучно отделена. Работа ведется германско-египетской командой под руководством Кристиана Экманна. «В настоящее время идет постепенное удаление остатков клея и дальнейшее изучение маски, которая, как выяснилось, выкована из двух слоев золота», – сообщил генеральный руководитель проекта Великого музея в Гизе и бывший директор Египетского музея на площади Тахрир д-р Мохамед Салех.

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park is a park on the east side of the Mississippi River in East St. Louis, Illinois, directly across from the Gateway Arch and the city of St. Louis, Missouri. Its major feature is the Gateway Geyser, a fountain that lifts water up to 630 feet (192 m). The Gateway Geyser is a counterpart to the equally tall Gateway Arch, and is visible from the west side of the river to the right of the prominent Cargill grain elevator. Four smaller fountains around the Geyser represent the four rivers which converge near the two cities: The Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois, and Meramec. The park also includes an elevated viewing point overlooking the river.

At Satara camp (A-circle) I photographed this one unearthing a grub of sorts (See the sequince below).
They will probe the ground looking for insects, and their heads have extra musculature to allow their bills to open underground. They are usually found in pairs or small groups, and the prominent head crest is most often closed except in alarm or when landing.
Hoopoes are said to be monogamous birds. Roberts 7 suggests that this monogamy will probably extend to a single season only. I have a pair in my garden that I ringed in 2010; they are still visiting our lawns together…
As cavity-nesters, they choose nesting sites low to the ground, often in a hole in a wall or stonework, pipes, tree forks, even termite mounds and occasionally in low nest boxes. The nest may be unlined or sparsely lined with bits of leaves, grass or feathers. A typical brood can have from 3 - 7 round, pale blue eggs and 1-3 broods may be laid per mated pair each season. The nest smells terrible: breeding females and growing young smell like rotting meat, and all birds excrete foul smelling liquid from the preen gland. Hoopoes also routinely excrete wastes into the nest. The foul smelling nest is said to deter predators; however, it probably also attracts insects, which are the birds’ main food source.
The female parent incubates the eggs for 15-16 days, and the male may feed her during the incubation period. After hatching, the chicks are covered with a fine down and are fed by both parents for 25-29 days until they leave the nest. After fledging, they stay near their parents for up to another week.
A Hoopoe defending itself will spray its foul smelling excretions at its opponent. I have caught and ringed a number of hoopoes and have never experienced this defense mechanism… maybe fortunately so?
The female starts to incubate as soon as the first egg is laid, which means that the chicks hatch in sequence, each egg taking up to 20 days for incubation.
In many bird species this would be a distinct disadvantage to the younger chicks, which would be smaller and thus likely to be pushed aside in the struggle to be fed. However, this is not so with the hoopoe, which has developed an unusual feeding system. During the 25 or so days of feeding at the nest by the parents, the nestlings wait in turn to be fed. Once they have been given their food, each chick will move to the back of the queue, leaving the way clear for the next in line. In this way, it is not just the biggest chicks that get all the food.
This bird is so outstandingly unique that it was revered in ancient Egypt, is a symbol of virtue in Persia and is the national bird of Israel.

I hope to consult a wide variety of sources for my research. To begin it will be important to put the surveying camera into context by understanding the development of surveying in BC, especially in relation to the use of technology. For this I will consult several academic secondary sources, including the work of Jay Sherwood, author of Furrows in the Sky: the Adventures of Gerry Andrews (2012) to understand the nature of surveying in mid-twentieth century British Columbia. I have also found a useful article which details the mechanics of the camera, dating this model much earlier than the date in the file. I intend on tracking down any photos of the camera in action to help bring the narrative to life. I also intend on utilizing the human resources that may have a connection to this artifact by making contact with the institutions once in possession of the camera, including the Royal BC Museum.

This cabinet card portrait features a well dressed and handsome couple posing at Edy Brothers studio in London (Ontario), Canada. The studio was located at 214 Dundas Street. The gentleman is holding some papers on his lap. The attractive young woman appears to appreciate jewelry. She is wearing a necklace and a ring. Edy Brothers Studio was a family run business for several decades between the 1860’s and teh early 1920’s in Brantford and London, Ontario. James Newbury Edy (1843-1890) and William Daniel Edy (1832-1911) were the original partners that started the business. William’s son Leslie Eli Edy (1864-1919) ran the business in the early 1900’s. The next proprietor was Franklin William Edy who operated the studio until it’s closure in 1922. (
