As part of IT Customer Support for The Software Partnership (later Deluxe Data International Operations then eFUNDS), one of my accounts was GiroBank in Denmark. This involoved maintaining a Periphoics Voice Processing System and occasional trips to troubleshoot issues to Høje Taastrup. I found these pictures on the internet as my only memory of that time (1994) as it pre-dated my digital photography interests. I thought I would put them on Flickr as a placeholder for my Flickr Map.
BG Bank’s history
BG Bank is Denmark’s third-largest bank. The bank serves both retail and corporate customers through a nation-wide branch network. BG Bank’s roots go back to a number of savings banks and the now extinct post office giro system, making BG Bank the only Danish bank with branches in post offices.
The bank’s history starts in Copenhagen in 1857, when Dansk Spare- og Præmie og Børne- og Alderdomsforsørgelses-Forening (The Danish Savings, Premium and Children and Old Age Protection Society) was founded. The name was later changed to Sparekassen Bikuben (The Beehive Savings Bank).
From money in the mail to money orders
For about 200 years the Danish post office was in charge of sending letters, packages and money. This meant that paper money was sent directly from the remitter to the receiver. However, in 1851 money orders and cash-on-delivery were introduced, following a German example.
The number of savings banks was increasing, and a large network of local brokerage firms was also emerging. In 1894, Sparekassen Bikuben had to set up a trust department in order to administer the large amount of inheritance, legacies and endowment funds entrusted to it.
Post office giro in 1920
After many years’ debate, the Danish government decided to introduce the post office giro system on January 1, 1920. As long as the banks kept their monopoly on cheques, they didn’t object. Savings banks, on the other hand, worried about competition for the working class customer’s money.
The post office giro system quickly caught on. By the 1960s, several smaller savings banks around the country could not keep up. Starting in 1967, Bikuben began to acquire various banks, large and small. The result was 73 mergers in total. As early as the 1970s Bikuben was operating throughout Denmark, and it ultimately became the largest savings bank in the country.
The post office giro system turned out to be a great success for the Danish Post and Telegraph service. In 1986, Post Office Giro was made into an independent unit under the leadership of P&T. Two years later, Post Office Giro became a state-owned company, and in 1991 it was privatised under the name Girobank.
Bikuben and Girobank
In 1989, Bikuben became the first savings bank to be converted into a joint-stock company, and the company’s shares were listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. By 1994, Bikuben’s head office was toying with the idea of expanding, perhaps through a merger, while Girobank was concurrently looking for a partner. In 1995, Sparekassen Bikuben, with its large base of retail customers, merged with Girobank, which had a large base of corporate customers. BG Bank was born.
The 1998 merger of BG Bank and Realkredit Danmark
In 1995, BG Bank began co-operating with Topdanmark in order to satisfy its customers’ needs for pension plans, life insurance and non-life insurance.
BG Bank also joined forces with Realkredit Danmark in order to offer mortgage financing of real estate, which plays a major part in the finances of most Danish households. The collaboration led to the merger of BG Bank and Realkredit Danmark in 1998, under the joint holding company Kapital Holding A/S. The well-known names of the two original companies were kept intact.
BG Bank and Realkredit Danmark became part of the Danske Bank Group in 2001.
Altamonte Springs, Fla. - More than 50 Army Reserve Soldiers from Mission Support Element, Headquaters & Headquarters Company, 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), joined more than 1,000 participants in the Orlando Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk Sept. 9, 2018, at Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs, Fla.
The event honored New York City firefighter Stephen Siller who made the ultimate sacrifice during the 9/11 attacks. Carrying more than 60 pounds of firefighting equipment, Siller ran from Brooklyn Tunnel--closed as a security measure--to the World Trade Center where he laid his life to save the lives of others.
Siller's story inspired nearly half of the 143d ESC Soldiers to don ruck sacks and run alongside hundreds of first responders wearing their full gear.
One 143d ESC Soldier, Spc. Andy Meyreles, honored his civilian and military profession during the race. Serving as an Ammunition and Stock Control and Accounting Specialist, the Hialeah, Fla., native put on his Orange County Fire Rescue helmet, jacket and pants over his Army physical fitness uniform. Meyreles' choice of attire paid homage to all service members and first responders who follow Siller's legendary example.

Soldiers from Detachment 26 supported Task Force CEASAR’s electronic warfare mission and flew more than 800 missions over 2,200 flight hours. The Freedom Salute Campaign is designed to publicly acknowledge Army Guard Soldiers and those who supported them during the President’s call to duty for Operations Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian Moran presented Soldiers with the Governor's National Service Medal. The medal was created in 2005 by then-Governor Mark R. Warner to recognize the service of the men and women of the Virginia Army and Air National Guard called to active federal service since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. (Photo by Master Sgt.

We all know of those who battle this disease, have died, or have survived. My own grandma had it, had a masectomy, survived for years afterward. The cancer returned in the breastbone and that was her demise. It was terrible to know how she wasted away and suffered. Encourage your loved ones to have mammograms, learn to detect lumps, and be aware that this is curable in the early stages. We all want our beloved ones to be 'in the pink' of health!
Blessings to all!

I bought several maternity camisoles from the Gap that all had this "secret support" sticker on them. I was intrigued, since I wasn't aware that I was buying into some underground pregnant boob conspiracy. Truth be told, they're not that supportive, but they're soft and comfy.
While I was posing for the self timer on the camera, Rich asked if I was taking pictures of my boobs to post on the Internet. I explained that no, I was taking pictures of stickers about my boobs to post on the Internet, which is completely different.
History
In the early 19th century the Wetherill lead mine in Shannonville, PA (later renamed Audubon in honor of a famous former resident) provided lead for the production of paint. By the 1840s additional copper mining efforts opened a total of nine shafts including the New Perkiomen Mine, Whim Shaft, and the Ecton Mine. These veins were so promising that copper miners were imported from Cornwall, England to support the effort. Production diminished during the following decade culminating in the failure of the enterprise before the Civil War. All that remains above ground are scattered foundations, the smokestack from a facility that pumped water out of the mines, and a curious set of rails over the mine run stream.

Glasgow Corporation Transport were keen to buy buses from local builders from the time they started buying buses, the 1924 trial batches included five bought from Halley of Yoker. Scotstoun-built Albions were purchased from the late 1920s until 1953 when the last was bodied.
In 1951 Albion Motors shareholders agreed a take-over by Leyland Motors of the eponymous Lancashire town. Some years prior to this the Albion directors had decided to discontinue their double-deck Venturer bus chassis.
As a political sop, from the later PD2 Titans until the late batches of PDR1 Atlanteans, Leyland buses for Glasgow carried Leyland-Albion badges. This one is on the front of Mr Philip Blair’s nicely looked after L405, a Titan PD3/2.

I'm not a huge drinker of dark beers, so this beer was never going to be an instant favourite. Did I enjoy it? yes. As much as their IPA? no. Would I buy it again? yes, but might match it with curry or big roast.
