Transcript: Down, Beckenham, Kent. Railway Station, Orpington, S.E.R. July 16 75 My dear Sanderson I have read your essays with the greatest interest & am much obliged to Mrs. Sanderson for having sent them. I had no idea that so much light had been thrown on the subject. If Dr. Bastian knew of these articles he has not written quite fairly in his recent articles. I wish your essay had been longer & that you had said something

Other pages contain advertisements for upcoming concerts including the early days of the famous Promenade Concerts.
These concerts were founded by musical impresario Robert Newman [1858-1926] and the first "Promenade Concert" took place on Saturday 10th August 1895 with Henry Wood conducting his new "Queen's Hall Orchestra".
In 1893 Newman had became the first manager of the Queen's Hall and had the idea for a series of concerts at the Hall. Affordable prices for a mass audience with a designated space without seats so some of the audience could 'promenade'.
The series was known as 'Newman's Promenade Concerts'

Todo es felicidá
C/ Orellana 5 c/v Campoamor. Madrid
Jack Babiloni 2008
Un conjunto de 68 pinturas-dibujos, una historia bajo la denominación de “Todo es felicidá”, obra del artista Jack Babiloni decora, con una extensión de 900 metros cuadrados, la doble fachada del encuentro de las calles Orellana y Campoamor. Una decoración que no pasa inadvertida y que no deja indiferente a nadie.
El edificio, construido en 1886, es un elemento característico de la arquitectura madrileña del último tercio del XIX y forma parte del Catalogo de Edificios Protegidos por el vigente Plan General de Ordenación Urbana de Madrid. La rehabilitación se lleva cabo entre 2003 y 2008. Babiloni pinta los dibujos en 24 días de marzo de 2008.
Los dibujos están realizados en cuatro colores —negro, amarillo, azul y ocre— sobre fondo blanco. El conjunto, con textos un tanto ilegibles, muestra personajes de la mitología griega y romana.
La rehabilitación de las fachadas del edificio y las pinturas están expedientadas y multadas por el Ayuntamiento de Madrid. Dos expedientes, uno sancionador y otro de restitución a su estado anterior. La propiedad y el Ayuntamiento siguen litigando. Según declara el autor borrar las pinturas sería Imposible. Se trata de un fresco en seco realizado con técnica de silicio sobre fondo de cal. “No vale pintar sobre lo pintado. Habría que picar hasta llegar al ladrillo”. La técnica con la que están pintados les asegura una conservación de hasta 500 años según el autor.
El Ayuntamiento no ha entrado en considerar si los dibujos son acordes a un edificio de finales del siglo XIX; señala que Las obras de rehabilitación se llevaron a cabo sin licencia, por lo que se abrió un expediente para restablecer la legalidad urbanística además de otro sancionador. Los expedientes se resuelven con una orden de demolición y la imposición de sanción económica. La restitución del edificio a su estado anterior significaría la desaparición de las pinturas ya que la normativa municipal para edificios catalogados obliga a preservar los elementos que lo caracterizan y sirven de referencia para comprender su época, su estilo y su función.
“El debate no puede ser mis pinturas", dice Babiloni. Entiende que su obra "sólo ha embellecido Madrid". De acabar desapareciendo del edificio su lienzo asegura que habrá sido sólo por un "ánimo recaudatorio" por parte del Ayuntamiento. La "intervención" que ha hecho no es excepcional, y recuerda varias fachadas emblemáticas pintadas con la misma técnica en Madrid: La Casa de la Panadería, el Palacio de Abrantes o la intervención de Mingote en la calle de la Sal.

Beverly Hills is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States, surrounded by the cities of Los Angeles and West Hollywood.
Originally a Spanish ranch where lima beans were grown, it was incorporated in 1914 by a group of investors who had failed to find oil, but found water instead and eventually decided to develop it into a town. It is now home to 34,290 inhabitants. Sometimes merely known by one of its primary ZIP codes, "90210", it has been home to actors and celebrities. The city also includes the shopping district Rodeo Drive and the Beverly Hills Oil Field.
