I had an abysmal couple of hours attempting a 'master shot' today, the result being that all images deleted with this exception. Look as hard as you can but you will find no trains!
I have driven past this road-sign on many occasions, it is situated on the B4283 (a road featured in the 'The British Locomotive Shed Directory' compiled by Aiden L F Fuller and published by Ian Allan). I have uploaded this image because it is no longer historically correct and such pedantic things appeal to me.
Margam Depot was opened in March 1964, it never had any main-line locomotives allocated, just the 08 shunters to work the massive marshalling yards at the eponymous Margam. The depot serviced and refuelled locomotives arriving and departing at the yard, it is alleged that all 100 Class 60s visited the depot (not all at once!).
As is well known the British Rail ownership gradually diminished and from 25 April 1996 EWS became the primary freight mover within the UK. Margam yard fell into disuse and the depot mirrored this, officially closing on 1 August 2009.
However, the road sign still shows the former owner British Rail some 19-years after the EWS take-over. A little bit of an oddity!

The late afternoon sun shines on "Sainte-Croix", the church of the former "Abbatiale Sainte-Croix". The abbey was founded in Merovingian times just south of Bordeaux. The exact year is unknown, but it was mentioned already in 679. The abbey was destroyed by the Saracens around 730 and rebuilt at the end of the century . During the 9th century the Normans raided the area and the abbey got devastated again. Local nobility supported the rebuilding of the abbey by donations and privileges.
The abbey church, built in eleventh/twelfth century, got renovated and rebuilt during the 19th century by Paul Abadie, later known as the architect of "Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre" and strongly influenced by Viollet-le-Duc. His works (eg Saint-Front, Périgueux, St. Pierre, Angoulême) are disputed today, as he "re-created" structures and added details.
While the outer of the large archivolts depict the "Elders of the Apocalypse" (see previous uploads), the inner one has the signs of the Zodiac and the "Monthly Labors". A farmer is pruning the vines. Below a part of the Sagitarius.

My dearest mother,
We are soon to make another trek, but whether forwards or still further back I know not. This kind of divisional rest-cure we have been indulging in is most enjoyable-light training in the morning, and the afternoons and evenings given up to athletic sports, horse shows, concerts, etc. Yesterday to a neighbouring village came Monseigneur l’Evecque dAmiens to give Confirmation. As he made his solemn entry, wearing his mitre and walking under a silk canopy, there came in the opposite direction a long train of our motor lorries carrying supplies. You should have seen the faces of the Tommies as the heavy waggons pulled up to let the procession pass-blank astonishment at the sight of a real live bishop, and more astonishment as the little children came in crowds to kiss his hand. ‘Bonjour messieurs, bonjour mes chers amis’ said the prelate with a courtly wave of his hand as he passed a squad of our men standing near the church. I need not say that he received no response whatever-cigarettes remained in mouths and hands in pockets. The whole scene was very typical and in spite of the very patent reminders of war, was full of the peace of pastoral and Christian France.
I have your letter written on the 13th and 14th May, what an awful experience for poor Gertie to have gone through.
I see that General Mahon has left Salonika-is anything ever going to happen there?
Did I tell you in my last letter that it is my intention to apply for leave the moment my three months are up, which will be on the 8th June.
I have not heard from Eileen for some time-I’m glad to hear her sleep is better.
I’ve got all the daily papers, and several of the weekly (‘Sphere’, ‘Punch’ etc.) but the Tablet would prove interesting at times.
Best love to Martin.
Your devoted son, Dick.

On the history of women's studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
1897
Conservative journalist A.F. Seligmann founded the art school for women and girls and taught there as a single teacher 16 students in the "Curs for head and act". 1898 expands the school: Tina Blau, a former teacher of the Munich artists association conducts 1.1.1898 a "Curs for landscape and still-life", which she held until 1915. Richard Kauffungen was nominated for sculpture, Ludwig Michalek led the "Curs for head and act" as well as an Radierkurs (etching course), Adolf Böhm the course for decorative and applied arts, Fabiani teaches ornamentation and style of teaching as well as "Modern home furnishings", Georg Klimt taught metalwork, Friedrich King wood cutting art and Hans Tichy from 1900 the drawing and painting from the living model. In all these teachers are moderate modern artists from the area of the Secession. The theoretical lectures are held in the company founded by Emil Zuckerkandl and Julius Tandler 1900 "Association of Austrian university lecturers Athenaeum", which had the task to be "an educational institution for members of the female sex". The first school year was completed with 64 students, the school is rapidly expanding, so that it forms 200-300 students annually within a few years. The steady growth is due to the restrictive attitude of the public schools of art (especially the academy) towards women, but also from the indiscriminate admission of which have been blamed all the private schools also on the part of women harshly, and just by women.
1904
The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is one of the many requests for opening the Academy for students once again putting the old arguments against that women are rarely equipped with creative spirit in the field of great art and the other a "proliferation of dilettantism and a pushing back of male members" is to be feared. Just the idea of a joint education had "abhorred" the College. The Academy therefore advocates for the financial support of the art school for women and girls, and rejects the application for opening the academy for women unanimously. The main argument for the impossibility of the joint Aktzeichnens (nude drawing) and the need for a second Aktsaales (nude hall) is increasingly mentioned, which cannot be realized because lack of space and lack of money. Henni Lehmann (Artistic studies of women, Darmstadt 1913) countered the same argument in Germany: "The common nude studies of women and men can not be described as impossible as it is done in many places, without having shown any grievances". The objection of the Quorum of the Berlin University professors that no teacher could be forced to teach women at all in such delicate subjects is countered that the problem was easily solved by entrusting a lady the Aktunterricht (nude drawing) in ladies. Suitable artists were plentiful present. That the life drawing for a long time (until 1937) remained problematic, shows the application of the renowned sculptor Teresa F. Ries of 1931, in which she was offering the Academy her services for the purpose of the management of a yet to be affiliated department, where young girls separated from the young men could work under the direction of a woman. The application was not even put to a vote.
1912
The rector of the Munich Academy also does not believe in the inclusion of students (female ones): "... it is impossible, even with regard to the space conditions, apart from that that the aspirations of the artists who devote themselves to the arts especially are usually others than that of women..."
1913
No significant change in attitude can be found between the opinions of the Academies from 1904 and those of 1913.
1919
In the report from the College's meeting of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Teaching is communicated that against the requested admission there were no fundamental objections, but that the Academy is so limited in spatial relationship, that after the experiences of the last entrance exams not even the majority of gifted young artists, capable of studying, could be included, and therefore, in case of the admission of women to the study initially had to be made a considerable expansion. The State Office counters that a further delay in the admission of women to the academic study could not be justified and that approval is to allow at least temporarily in a narrow frame.
1920
The State Office for the Interior and Education officially approved the admission of women to study at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (since 1919 women were admitted to all faculties of the University of Vienna, with the exception of the Catholic and Protestant Theological Faculty).
A committee consisting of the professors Bacher, Delug, Schmutzer, and Jettmar Muellner claims that the Academy has never pronounced in principle against women's studies but have always only expressed reservations because of the cramped space and financial situation. As a complete novelty proves that no more concerns are raised with regard to coeducation. Men and women should compete in the entrance examination. In the winter semester 1920/21 will be included 14 women, of course, representing only a small minority in relation to the 250 male students.
1926/1927
In the new study regulations are for the first time mentioned Schüler (M) and Schülerinnen (F).
March 1927
Report of the Academy of Fine and Applied Arts about the experiences regarding the access of women to universities: ..."in past years it was thought for the education of women and girls by the Academy of Women for Liberal and Applied Art, which is also equipped with academic classes and by the State subsidized, sufficiently having taken precautions: during a period of almost seven years of study, it was probably possible to get a clear picture about the access applications of women, and about the degree course ... Of course, the number of female candidates in the painting is strongest, weaker in sculpture, and very low in the architecture. As much already now can be said, that in no way in terms of education in the new admissions the women are left behind the male candidates. During the study period, the female students are not in diligence and seriousness of studying behind their male colleagues. Particularly gratifying can be emphasized that because of the co-education of both sexes in common rooms in the individual schools a win-win situation for everybody was. In the master schools the College was repeatedly able also honouring women with academic prices. Subsuming, it should be emphasized that our experiences with the study of women in the Academy of Fine Arts were quite favorable."
The number of students (Studentinnen) increased from 5 % in the winter semester 1920/1921 till 1939/1940 to about 25 %. After the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany, the number of students (Studentinnen) decreased. The proportion of female students rose after 1940 naturally, reached during the war years up to 70 % and amounted 1945/1946 to 65%. From 1946/1947 the number of students (Studentinnen) fell sharply again, so 1952/1953 only 20% of the students at the Academy were women. 1963/1964 there were, however, already 41% (278).

Corals are threatened by a multitude of biological and physical stressors, which have contributed to the severe declines in abundance of ESA Listed Coral species (as much as 98% for species such as elkhorn and staghorn). FWC staff currently collect disease occurrence and temperature-induced bleaching data during coral surveys. Staff are also working to document long-spined sea urchin occurrence as well as conduct research to increase the abundance of this once-dominant herbivore. Certain species of corals, such as elkhorn and staghorn, are experiencing elevated predation rates as coral population numbers have declined. Reefs are also affected by direct and indirect human impacts, such as physical damage from anchors, boat groundings, and traps, as well as polluted water and run-off from shore. Reefs are also threatened by increasingly severe storm events, ocean acidification, and sedimentation from storm events or coastal development.

Times Square, New York City, New Years Eve Ball Drop, 2013 - 2014
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.
