the view just outside our cabin (Port O'Pines) I logged as much time on the end of that dock as I could, but not nearly enough. From here I watched mist lift in the morning, and at night, I listened to loons and the lunatic laughter of persons unseen, persons who must have been from Alabama or somewhere deeply southern and mourned under the moon when my thoughts of my mother surfaced. Sweet surrender.
Day 291 (give or take a few days)
I was reading The Tale of Despereaux to my sisters, and there was a passage where darkness was described very vividly. We took a quick reading break to take this photo, with Yasmin's help, of course.
I can't believe I am still awake. The past two nights I haven't slept well at all, and the past two days I have had to get up early to bus to hospitals. Yesterday it was for an appointment at the adult hospital and today it was my last round of bone treatment at the children's hospital. I had to say goodbye to all my favourite nurses AND the clown, Molly Penny. :'( It wasn't all sad though, as I got to watch the CEO of the hospital accept his ice bucket challenge nomination!
Charles Gesner van der Voort had started his career in Rotterdam, at Holland-China Trading Company (HCHC). In 1938, he went to Shanghai for the firm. The Japanese interned him, and most other Dutch nationals, from 1943-45. In camp, he met his wife Nancy and they married after the war. After a leave in The Netherlands, they returned to the Orient, where Charles continued to work for HCHC in Hong Kong.
This photo was found in the company archives, held by Stadsarchief Rotterdam. A new warehouse was built at North Point, Hong Kong, in 1950. On the back of the photo, the building is referred to as "goedang", the Dutch way of writing the Indonesian word gudang, meaning warehouse. It is very similar to the word which was used in Shanghai when Charles worked there: godown.
HCHC had its offices in Alexandra Building.
The warehouse's current location is 114-126 Wharf Road (courtesy Gwulo.com member herostratus).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Point:
Parts of North Point have been inhabited since before the British arrived in the mid-19th century. The Metropole Hotel was built in 1899 and was used until 1906. In 1919, the Hongkong Electric Company started operation of the territory's second power station at North Point. In the 1920s, Ming Yuen Amusement Park became a popular entertainment venues on the Island. During the 1930s, the beaches of North Point became one of the most popular places for holding swimming gala in Hong Kong. In 1938, the North Point Refugee Camp was built to accommodate the influx of refugees from the Mainland. The camp comprised 26 huts. Access to the camp was via Kam Hong Road and Marble Road. During World War II, the camp was renamed the North Point Camp, and used as a prisoner of war camp for captured Canadian soldiers during the Japanese occupation.
During the Chinese Civil War, a large number of the rich and middle class from Shanghai fled to Hong Kong to escape the turmoil of war, many of them settled in North Point. In 1950, North Point became known as "Little Shanghai", since in the minds of many, it has already become the replacement for the surrendered Shanghai in China. The first wave of emigrants introduced Shanghai-style restaurants, beauty parlours and barbershops. They also learned Cantonese and intermarried with people of other dialect groups. During the 1950s, North Point was the premiere place of residence for these emigrants, leading to a massive population boom; by the end of 1960, North Point was listed as the most densely populated place on earth by the Guinness Book of Records. The first school in Hong Kong to use Mandarin as the main medium of instruction, Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School, was founded in 1953 in North Point by these early Shanghainese immigrants. Shanghai at the time was heavily associated with leftist movements; leftist-supported businesses in North Point, such as the Sunbeam Theatre which showcases Chinese Opera, are a legacy of their influence.
The second group that moved to North Point were the Fujianese, who were mostly displaced by political events in Southeast Asia. Small Indonesian specialist grocery shops selling coffee, coconuts, and bumbu are some of the remaining traces of their identity. The area became known as "Little Fujian". And Chun Yeung Street which is one iconic place that you can easily find variety of traditional Fujianese food from the grocery shops, such as "misua", "tokwa", "tikoy", "lumpia" & "green bean cake".

I was experimenting with a gizmo that triggers the shutter when an object passes through a photogate. After countless fails at getting it to fire quickly enough to capture the paper ball in flight, I decided the locked and loaded shot would be kinda cool. Hope you like it!

The Priory Church of St Mary and St Hardulph is the Church of England parish church of Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire. The church has also been known as Breedon Priory.
The present church, which had been preceded by a minster (an Anglo-Saxon monastery) from the 7th century, contains the largest collection, and some of the finest examples, of Anglo-Saxon sculptures. It also contains a notable family pew and Renaissance-era church monuments to the Shirley family, who bought the manor of Breedon after it was surrendered to the Crown in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The largest of these monuments is for Sir George Shirley. It was made over 20 years before his death and includes a life-sized skeleton carved in alabaster.
The church stands on the top of Breedon Hill, within the remains of an Iron Age hill fort called The Bulwarks. The hill is flanked to the south by the 400 houses of Breedon on the Hill village, and encroached on the east by Breedon Quarry. Breedon church is a nationally important building, with a Grade I listing for its exceptional architectural interest.
Surrender with everything. She felt the pain in her heart and kept asking is it my fault to be poor and blind? The Pain taste for face, sacrifice is not appreciated.

Confederate sailors' graves, flying the "Stainless Banner."
The Hunley was a Confederate submarine that sank Union sloop Housatonic in Charleston harbor, the first successful submarine attack. Unfortunately for the crew of the Hunley, it sank as well in the attack, with complete loss of life. The Hunley had sunk twice before during training runs, killing both of those crews, too. All of the three crews are buried here in Magnolia Cemetery.
The Stainless Banner was the second national flag of the Confederacy, after the Stars and Bars, which was too-often mistaken for the Stars and Stripes. The Stainless Banner was in turn too-often mistaken for a flag of surrender when there was no wind, so it was replaced by the "Blood-Stained Banner," which was similar but had a vertical red stripe at the right end.
Me amarrei com fios
Para os cavalos correrem livres
Brincando com fogo até que o fogo brincou comigo
A pedra era semi-preciosa
Nós estavamos semi-conscientes
Duas almas espertas demais para estar no reino da certeza
Mesmo no dia do nosso casamento
Nós nos colocamos em chamas
Ó Deus, não negue ela
Não é se eu acredito em amor
Mas se o amor acredita em mim
Oh, acredite em mim
No momento da rendição
Eu fiquei de joelhos
Não prestei atenção nos transeuntes
E eles não prestaram atenção em mim
Eu estive em todos os buracos negros
No altar da estrela negra
Meu corpo se tornou um recipiente de esmolas
Que esta implorando para voltar, implorando para voltar
Para o meu coração
Para o ritmo de minha alma
Para o ritmo da minha inconsciencia
Para o ritmo que se lembra
Para ser libertado do controle
Eu estava apertando os numeros de um caixa eletronico
Eu podia ver no reflexo
Uma face me encarando
No momento da rendição
De visão sobre visibilidade
Eu não prestei atenção nos transeuntes
E eles não prestaram atenção em mim
Eu estava correndo no metro
Pelas estações do cruzamento
Todos os olhos olhando para o outro lado
Contando para quando a dor iria parar
No momento da rendição
De visão sobre visibilidade
Eu não prestei atenção nos transeuntes
E eles não prestaram atenção em mim
“I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be.”

Hindu prayer flags or ‘Jhandis’, flutter in the wind atop bamboo poles. Each one is a spiritual commitment by the person who has planted the flag, to faithfully live the values and messages enshrined in the particular deity represented by each Jhandi. Guapo Beach. Point Fortin. Trinidad & Tobago

Pictured from left to right: the late Rhamar Fielder, Lord Baron Fielder (before his imprisonment in the Black Mountain), the late Charmos Fielder and the late Trentin Fielder.
When Lord Baron (Born 687AV) was a young prince, and heir to Thronfeld, he always had the desire to travel the world. After years of debate with his father about his duty, he left his home in 705AV and renounced his claim to the throne. He met his wife, Helana in the Western Cities and he continued to travel the world, learning about culture and the art of war until word of the war with the Orcs reached him and he returned to Thronfeld in 722AV. His sons were all born during his travels, his wife died of an illness in 719AV and he rescued Mhumbad from Attonight slavers in 720AV. When he returned to Thronfeld, he refused to take his rightful place as heir and instead chose to take a leadership role in the military as a strategist.
Rhamar 'the Tower' (Born 706AV) always resented his father for renouncing his claim, because he always wanted to be King. His size and strength were legendary, but he lacked in empathy and intellignce. In 727AV after two failed rescue attempts of Harrison Blythe, the husband of the princess left Sir Arthur Guant and countless other soldiers dead, Rhamar declared to the court that Harrison was not worth the loss of life it would take to rescue him. Princess Vianna, in her rage, struck him and forced his face into the embers of a fire in the hall and burned his face. His father Baron was ordered to apologize to his sister and he refused. Baron was then given the choice to see his youngest sons on the front lines or be banished, and so he left his home once more with his 2 sons, leaving Rhamar behind. Rhamar lead another failed mission to rescue his Uncle Harrison and was present at the Sacking of the Storm Hold in 728AV and is presumed dead.
Charmos 'the Thinker' (Born 709AV) was aways more interested in books than anything else. He either followed his older brother around or found quiet places to read. He was devasted when his father took them to the Pale Green Isles and left Rhamar behind. He was always jealous of Mhumbad, because he thought his father showed him favouritism. In 736AV, for unknown reasons, he invited the Eastern raiders to attack his father's property and he killed his brother Trentin. Baron and Mhumbad were imprisoned and tortured in the Black Mountain and Charmos returned to Thronfeld to be a spy for the enemy in the council of his cousin King Davian III. In 738AV, when Baron and Mhumbad escaped prison, they returned to Thronfeld and killed Charmos.
'Small' Trentin (Born 717AV) was always a gifted singer and flute player. He was a kind and empathetic young man and a favourite of the common people. On his nineteenth birthday in 736AV, Eastern raiders attacked his father's land and he was stabbed in the back by his older brother Charmos, which broke his father's heart, forcing his surrender and causing his imprisonment.

"Unconditional Surrender" is a series of sculptures by Seward Johnson resembling a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, "V–J day in Times Square", but said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen (Parenthesis: "V-J Day in Times Square", also "V-Day", and "The Kiss" is a photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt that portrays an American sailor kissing a woman in a white dress on Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) in Times Square in New York City, on August 14, 1945. The photograph was published a week later in Life magazine. End of Parenthesis). The original statue was first installed in Sarasota, Florida, then was moved to San Diego, California, and New York City, New York. Copies have been installed in Hamilton, New Jersey; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; and Normandy, France.
In March 2012, the San Diego Unified Port District voted to purchase a permanent bronze replacement for the loaner. This controversial move resulted in the resignation of three board members. Despite the controversy, construction of the new weather-resistant bronze statue proceeded, in part due to a fund raising campaign by the Midway Museum that raised US$1 million. The bronze replacement Unconditional Surrender statue arrived to its new home on February 11, 2013. On February 14, 2013, the replacement was bolted into place near its original location.

... to you
'cause you
have shattered my defenses
I don't wanna resist
and I can't go on
without your tender arms around me
I surrender...
