Arizona is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States, sharing the Four Corners region of the western United States with Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Its other neighboring states are Nevada to the northwest and California to the west. It also shares an international border with the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest. It is the 6th-largest and the 14th-most-populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix, which is the most populous state capital in the United States.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912. Historically part of the territory of Alta California and Nuevo México in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848, where the area became part of the territory of New Mexico. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with extremely hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Sunrise, and Tucson. In addition to the internationally known Grand Canyon National Park, which is one of the world's seven natural wonders, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
Arizona is home to a diverse population. About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the country, with more than 300,000 citizens. Since the 1980s, the proportion of Hispanics has grown significantly owing to migration from Mexico and Central America. A substantial portion of the population are followers of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Arizona's population and economy have grown dramatically since the 1950s because of inward migration, and the state is now a major hub of the Sun Belt. Cities such as Phoenix and Tucson have developed large, sprawling suburban areas. Many large companies, such as PetSmart and Circle K, have headquarters in the state, and Arizona is home to major universities, including the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University. The state is known for a history of conservative politicians such as Barry Goldwater and John McCain, though it has become a swing state in recent years.

Navajo Upper Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest, on Navajo land east of Lechee, Arizona. It includes six separate, scenic slot canyon sections on the Navajo Reservation, referred to as Upper Antelope Canyon (or The Crack), Rattle Snake Canyon, Owl Canyon, Mountain Sheep Canyon, Canyon X and Lower Antelope Canyon (or The Corkscrew). It is the primary attraction of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park, along with a hiking trail to Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means 'the place where water runs through the (Slot Canyon) rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. They are accessible by Navajo guided tour only.

Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third-most-populous city in the United States. With an estimated population of 2,705,994 (2018), it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second-most-populous county in the US, with a small portion of the northwest side of the city extending into DuPage County near O'Hare Airport. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland. At nearly 10 million people, the metropolitan area is the third most populous in the United States.
Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900, less than 30 years after the great fire, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world. Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts, issued by the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures alone. Depending on the particular year, the city's O'Hare International Airport is routinely ranked as the world's fifth or sixth busiest airport according to tracked data by the Airports Council International. The region also has the largest number of federal highways and is the nation's railroad hub. Chicago was listed as an alpha global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and it ranked seventh in the entire world in the 2017 Global Cities Index. The Chicago area has one of the highest gross domestic products (GDP) in the world, generating $689 billion in 2018. In addition, the city has one of the world's most diversified and balanced economies, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce. Chicago is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Allstate, Boeing, Caterpillar, Exelon, Kraft Heinz, McDonald's, Mondelez International, Sears, United Airlines Holdings, and Walgreens.
Chicago's 58 million domestic and international visitors in 2018 made it the second most visited city in the nation, as compared with New York City's 65 million visitors in 2018. The city was ranked first in the 2018 Time Out City Life Index, a global quality of life survey of 15,000 people in 32 cities. Landmarks in the city include Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Campus, the Willis (Sears) Tower, Grant Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago's culture includes the visual arts, literature, film, theatre, comedy (especially improvisational comedy), food, and music, particularly jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and electronic dance music including house music. Of the area's many colleges and universities, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are classified as "highest research" doctoral universities. Chicago has professional sports teams in each of the major professional leagues, including two Major League Baseball teams.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_White_Sox
The Chicago White Sox are an American professional baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) Central division. The White Sox are owned by Jerry Reinsdorf, and play their home games at Guaranteed Rate Field, located on the city's South Side. They are one of two major league clubs in Chicago; the other is the Chicago Cubs of the National League (NL) Central division.
One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the franchise was established as a major league baseball club in 1901. The club was originally called the Chicago White Stockings, but this was soon shortened to Chicago White Sox. The team originally played home games at South Side Park before moving to Comiskey Park in 1910, where they played until Guaranteed Rate Field (originally known as Comiskey Park and then known as U.S. Cellular Field) opened in 1991.
The White Sox won the 1906 World Series with a defense-oriented team dubbed "the Hitless Wonders", and the 1917 World Series led by Eddie Cicotte, Eddie Collins, and Shoeless Joe Jackson. The 1919 World Series was marred by the Black Sox Scandal, in which several members of the White Sox were accused of conspiring with gamblers to fix games. In response, Major League Baseball's new Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis banned the players from Major League Baseball for life. In 1959, led by Early Wynn, Nellie Fox, Luis Aparicio and manager Al López, the White Sox won the American League pennant. They won the AL pennant in 2005, and went on to win the World Series, led by World Series MVP Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, Mark Buehrle, catcher A. J. Pierzynski, and the first Latino manager to win the World Series, Ozzie Guillén.
From 1901 to 2019, the White Sox have an overall record of 9283–9215 (a .502 winning percentage).

Afbeelding: Collage van een vijftal afbeeldingen van A.C. Pigou online te vinden.
DE TIJDSBEPALING VAN ANONIEME AFBEELDINGEN ONLINE
Door Marcel Douwe Dekker. Laatste versie 12 mei 2020
Over digitalisering Online zwerven er tegenwoordig vele oudere afbeeldingen, waarvan de brondata niet voorzien is. Om soms afbeelding te gebruiken is het noodzakelijk de datum van oorsprong vast te stellen. Deze problematiek wordt hier verder besproken a.d.h.v. een actueel voorbeeld op Wiki Commons.
In de praktijk kan het voorkomen, dat je iets meer zekerheid wil hebben over de datum van een anonieme foto. Het hoeft geen exacte datum te zijn, maar je wilt wel een indicatie. Met een combinatie van een aantal algemene gegevens zoals in de bovenstaande collage, kan men toch een ruwe indicatie krijgen.
De directe aanleiding van deze problematiek
Op Wikimedia Commons is afgelopen week een curieus verwijderingsverzoek geplaatst voor een afbeelding van de jonge A.C. Pigou (1877-1957). Deze afbeelding was daar negen jaar terug geupload en wordt wereldwijd in zo'n 35 wikiprojecten gebruikt. Die artikelen met de foto zijn in de loop van de tijd al zo'n 5 miljoen keer keer bekeken. Halverwege heb ik deze kleine afbeelding eens vergroot, en zo raakte ik hier betrokken.
Van de afbeelding is de fotograaf onbekend, en dit was op Commons netjes aangegeven. Daarbij was een licentie geplaatst, dat de auteur al 70 jaar dood is, en dat daarom de afbeelding in het publieke domein is. Beide zijn uiteraard formeel gezien met elkaar in tegensprak. Maar pragmatisch gezien zijn er twee aannames gedaan: de fotograaf is onbekend en is al overleden, want de foto is oud genoeg.
Afgelopen week meende een Wikipedia medewerker, dat de informatie met elkaar in tegenspraak was, en dat de afbeelding om deze reden verwijderd moest worden. Nu heb ik dit opgelost door een andere licentie specifiek voor Engelse afbeeldingen. Als die voor 1950 zijn gemaakt en/of gepubliceerd, dan is de afbeelding vrij te gebruiken. Nu gaat het om de eerste foto van de vijf. De medewerker wilde daarvan echter het bewijs zien...!!
De constructie van deze tijdlijn
Na een paar uur online zoeken naar afbeeldingen van de Engelse econoom A.C. Pigou was me een ding opgevallen. Er zijn weliswaar de nodige portretfoto's online beschikbaar. Bij geen van de foto's is een exacte datum beschikbaar.
Zodoende is geen van de afbeeldingen als een referentiepunt te gebruiken. Voor dit geval heb ik nu een tijdlijn getekend, zie afbeelding, met de belangrijkste data en zijn de afbeeldingen min of meer in chronologische volgorde gezet.
De hier geschetste opzet is op zichzelf niets bijzonders. In gedachten zullen vele bij eenzelfde probleem zo'n voorstelling maken. Het bijzondere hier is, dat je dat ook daadwerkelijk uittekent. Zo'n tastbaar resultaat kan je in een eventuele nieuwe overlegronde inbrengen.
Een zoektocht naar meer achtergrondinformatie
Een paar van deze foto's zijn gebruikt op de cover van boeken van gerenommeerde uitgeverijen. In zulke gevallen dient men in het boek de oorsprong van de afbeeldingen aan te geven.
In enkele gevallen heb ik dat gecheckt. In twee gevallen werd credit verleend aan de Cambridgeshire collection maar was geen data gegeven van de maker of het jaar van vervaardiging.
De Cambridgeshire collection zelf is een vrij grote verzameling, waarvan er maar een paar afbeeldingen ook op Wikicommons geupload zijn. Deze voorbeelden kunnen niet zonder meer gevolgd worden.
De patstelling in de verwijderingsdiscussie
In de verwijderingsdiscussie werd gevraagd naar het bewijs, dat de eerste foto (links) voor 1950 gemaakt was. In 1950 was de beste man al 72 of 73 jaar oud. In dit specifieke geval had ik echter van geen van de foto's een datum gevonden.
Op Commons is het me weer eens erg onduidelijk. Is er hier spraken van een ongelovige thomas? Is er iemand die met alle geweld iets weg wilt hebben, ook wel een deletionist genoemd. Of is er hier sprake van iemand, die alles volgens de regels exact geregeld wilt zien, een formalist zogezegd. Of iemand die vind dat alles met alle geweld ideaal moet zijn, een idealist...!?
Het probleem dat ik zelf ook ervaar is, dat ik er te ver afsta. In Nederland zijn er allerlei bronnen, die je nog zou kunnen raadplegen. Op Wikipedia zou je het ook elders kunnen navragen, maar dat weet ik nu juist zelf nog niet.
Een adder onder het gras
De voor de hand liggende vraag, waar je als directe betrokkene overheen kijkt is, waarom het sowieso zo lang geduurd heeft dat er een foto van deze geleerde beschikbaar kwam op Wikipedia? De foto op Wikipedia zelf is pas in 2011 geupload, toen men een jaar of vijf met afbeeldingen werkte. De foto zelf was ook alleen in thumb formaat beschikbaar gemaakt. Zelf ben ik bij deze zaak betrokken geraakt alleen omdat dat thumb formaat me stoorde. Je kreeg dan een postzegel in beeld, terwijl je met wat vergroting een aardig pasfotoformaat te zien krijgt.
Afgelopen avond heb ik nog een uur online verder gezocht, en daarbij is me bevestigd dat het hier gaat om een vooraanstaand econoom. In de eerste helft van de 20ste eeuw werd hij zelfs al regelmatig genoemd in de Nederlandse kranten. Het Engelse Wikipedia artikel over de geschiedenis van de economie wijdt een aparte paragraaf aan hem.
In alle gedateerde boeken en tijdschriften, zo online in te zien, ben ik geen enkele begeleidende foto tegen gekomen. Dat kan erop duiden, dat hij daar zelf niet van gediend was, of zoiets. Toch zijn er hier en daar keurige gedetailleerd portretten te zien. Allemaal gepubliceerd met de courtesy van de Cambridgeshire collection van de Bibliotheek van Cambridge.
Op heel Wikipedia zijn ook praktisch geen afbeeldingen uit die Cambridgeshire collection te vinden. Daar zal dan iets speciaals aan de hand zijn, wat ze je niet vertellen. Van een zo'n foto uit de Cambridgeshire collection wordt wel een indicatie gegeven van de maker, maar dan ook weer zo onduidelijk, dat dit voor allerlei interpretatie vatbaar is. Met Obelix denk ik dan "rare jongens, die Britten," en blijf benieuwd wat ik hier al dan niet over het hoofd zie...!?

Jamestown, Virginia
Source: Wikipedia
The Virginia Company of London sent an expedition to establish a settlement in the Virginia Colony in December 1606. The expedition consisted of three ships, the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery. The ships left Blackwall, now part of London, with 105 men and boys and 39 crew-members. By April 6, 1607, the Godspeed, Susan Constant and the Discovery arrived at the Spanish colony of Puerto Rico, where they stopped for provisions before continuing their journey. In late April 1607, the expedition reached the southern edge of the mouth of what is now known as the Chesapeake Bay. After an unusually long journey of more than four months, the 104 men and boys (one passenger died during the journey) arrived at their chosen settlement spot in Virginia. There were no women on the first ships.
After the expedition arrived in what is now Virginia, sealed orders from the Virginia Company were opened. These orders named Captain John Smith as a member of the governing Council. Smith had been arrested for mutiny during the voyage and was incarcerated aboard one of the ships. He had been scheduled to be hanged upon arrival, but was freed by Captain Newport after the opening of the orders. The same orders also directed the expedition to seek an inland site for their settlement, which would afford protection from enemy ships.
Obedient to their orders, the settlers and crewmembers re-boarded their three ships and proceeded into the Chesapeake Bay. They landed again at what is now called Old Point Comfort in the City of Hampton. In the following days, seeking a suitable location for their settlement, the ships ventured upstream along the James River. Both the James River and the settlement they sought to establish, Jamestown (originally called "James His Towne") were named in honor of King James I.
On May 14, 1607, the colonists chose Jamestown Island for their settlement largely because the Virginia Company advised them to select a location that could be easily defended from attacks by other European states that were also establishing New World colonies and were periodically at war with England, notably the Dutch Republic, France, and Spain. The island fit the criteria as it had excellent visibility up and down the James River and it was far enough inland to minimize the potential of contact and conflict with enemy ships. The water immediately adjacent to the land was deep enough to permit the colonists to anchor their ships yet have an easy and quick departure if necessary. An additional benefit of the site was that the land was not occupied by the Virginia Indians, most of whom were affiliated with the Powhatan Confederacy.
The settlers came ashore and quickly set about constructing their initial fort. Within a month, the James Fort covered an acre on Jamestown Island. The wooden palisaded walls formed a triangle around a storehouse, church, and a number of houses. The fort burned down the following year.
Although it is technically a peninsula when connected to the mainland, in many ways Jamestown has been an island for many of the past 400 years. Largely cut off from the mainland, the shallow harbor afforded the earliest settlers docking of their ships. This was its greatest attraction, but it also created a number of challenging problems for the settlers.
It soon became apparent why the Virginia Indians did not occupy the site: Jamestown Island is a swampy area, and its isolation from the mainland meant that there was limited hunting available as most game animals required larger foraging areas. The settlers quickly hunted and killed off all the large and smaller game animals that were found on the tiny peninsula. In addition, the low, marshy area was infested with airborne pests, including mosquitoes which carried malaria, and the brackish water of the tidal James River was not a good source of water. Over 135 settlers died from malaria, and drinking the salinated and contaminated water caused many to suffer from saltwater poisoning, fevers and dysentery.
Many of the settlers who came over on the initial three ships were not well-equipped for the life they found in Jamestown. A number of the original settlers were upper-class gentlemen who were not accustomed to manual labor; the group included very few farmers or skilled laborers. The climate, location, and makeup of the settlement resulted in many settlers dying of disease and starvation.
Despite the immediate area of Jamestown being uninhabited, the settlers were attacked less than a fortnight after their arrival on May 14, by Paspahegh Indians who succeeded in killing one of the settlers and wounding eleven more.

INTRODUCTION. Hindu Gods incorporated into Buddhism as protectors against evil spirits. If you look at their mouths, you will notice that one has its mouth open and the other has its mouth closed, said to represent life and death, the beginning and the end. The most famous Niō in Japan can be found at the entrance gate of Tōdaiji Temple 東大寺 in Nara. These 26-feet-tall statues were made in 1203 AD, reportedly under the direction of the famous sculptors Unkei and Kaikei. The Niō were introduced to Japan in the 7th or 8th century. The oldest extant statues of the two in Japan (dated to 711) are located at Hōryūji Temple 法隆寺 in Nara, and the 8th-century dry-lacquer sculptures at Tōdaiji Temple 東大寺 in Nara.
The Niō (Jp. = Benevolent Kings) are a pair of protectors who commonly stand guard outside the temple gate at Japanese Buddhist temples, one on either side of the entrance. In Japan, the gate itself is often called the Niō-mon 仁王門 (literally Niō Gate). At Shintō shrines, however, the Niō guardians are replaced with a pair of koma-inu (shishi lion-dogs) or with two foxes. These mythical and magical shrine guardians are commonly (but not always) depicted with similar iconography -- one mouth open, one closed.
Pesto Genevose, with the actual pine cone the nuts came from. Next stop in making pesto from scratch: using congealed old milk from the fridge instead of Pecorino, and squeezing the olives by hand (after cooling it down in ice water, obviously).
