Found these undated brochures while cleaning up some old papers. Full of facts about the World Trade Center.
It's spooky to see phone numbers for places that no longer exist.

This mysterious collection of images have been discovered within the photographic collections of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.

The lantern slides are from a series titled 'Psychic Photography From A New Angle' and feature eerie images of the supposedly paranormal and unknown forces caught on camera.
Very little is known of the origins of this collection. The slides were designed to accompany a lecture by a Mr C.P. MacCarthy of 15 Wilkinson Street, Sheffield.
Mr MacCarthy produced the images under test conditions in 1934 in front of an invited committee at 76 Clarkehouse Road, Sheffield. He states the intention was to ‘demonstrate under test conditions Fake Psychic Photography’ to this committee.
Mr MacCarthy states his three reasons for this demonstration.
1.To prove the possibility of Fake under test conditions.
2.To show you cannot be too critical of such phenomena.
3.To indicate the increasing scope for fraud with the probability of genuine spirit photography.
Mr MacCarthy further guarantees ‘in the sum of five pounds, payable to any charitable institution, that no collusion exists, or has existed between myself and any other party in connection with this demonstration.’
Little is currently known of the Psychic demonstration. Who sat on the invited committee? Who was Mr MacCarthy? Why was he investigating Psychic Photography?
Can you help us with this information?

Feia temps que volia inmortalitzar aquest mural de Tona, a Osona, recordant els esforços de Francesc Macià com a un dels fundadors del esperit sobiranista que afortunadament avança avui a Catalunya. Catalans: Catalunya!

================================================================
This mural in the Catalan town of Tona depicts the first president of the modern Generalitat (Catalan government), from 1931 to 1933, when he died. He was one of the founding fathers of modern Catalan independentism, even proclaming the formation of a Catalan Republic in 1931, which only lasted for three days. The text reads: 'Tona has decided: Independence. December 13th, 2009'. This was the day of a popular vote held in several towns and villages of Catalonia to decide if they wanted an independent Catalan state. The shields are of Tona township, Catalonia, St. George and the Phoenix bird, a symbol of political independence.
He was popularly known as 'l'avi Macià', the grandfather Macià.

We'd been driving around so much from shopping area to shopping area and inbetween, always.. was beautiful countryside, rolling fields and blue mountains..one of them Sugar Loaf. Trouble was..every time I thought " I should be drawing this ( whizzing past in the car!!)..it had vanished. So finally, I prepared for it..with the sketchbook open on my lap and all to the ready..to catch it in that minute or two before it had gone again. I didn't manage much but I got the feel plus a touch of colour to help my memory. I added to it as soon as we got home..while it was still fresh in my memory..then added the text.
If you are into art zines you should submit your stuff. More info here: www.hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.com/call-for-submissions/
The three walls surrounding the sarcophagus are not inscribed with texts. Instead, the false door motif, or palace facade, surrounds the sarcophagus. Learn more at the Pyramid Texts Online.

The Group
When I first heard "The Foo" I viewed them as a pop-rock group. They had some early hits on the radio and they were a fun group to listen to. This was how I originally perceived them.
The Performance
Then I saw one of the greatest rock performances I had ever seen. The Foo with Dave Grohl belting out this very song titled, "times like these" on a TV performance. In a word, EXCEPTIONAL. I have seen many groups over the years, but this performance blew my mind.
This was a true performance. It wasn't just another show, it was a performance of a life time. It was as if he was playing for his life. Sports analogies of "leaving everything on the field" just don't come close to the performance Dave belted out. Completely changed my perception of the group and of Dave Grohl. I liked Dave in Queens of the Stone Age also.
The Calligraphy
This is my small tribute to the Foo and Dave Grohl! What you are looking at is a brand new typeface I just developed. A very tall and very narrow custom gothic calligraphic typeface. It has a very tight appearance. Shown are only the lowercase letters here, but fits perfectly with my other uppercase letters. Very aggressive, yet controlled, and somewhat elegant script. Mean looking yet clean. Perfect for a liquor bottle application. A line of solid text, or perhaps a block page of text would look so perfect with this typeface. I have also used my new cursive script for the name below. These two scripts look great against one another.

St Martin’s Church in Zillis, Canton Graubünden, CH
The earliest preserved, figuratively painted wooden ceiling in Europe can be seen above the nave of St Martin's Church in Zillis. Today only three other painted ceilings from the Middle Ages remain: they are located in Hildesheim (St Michael's), in Peterborough Cathedral and in Dadesjo (Sweden). The Swedish church in Sodra Rada was destroyed by fire in 2001.
The ceiling paintings in Zillis demonstrate such a rich variety of form and contents as is only found in great works of art.
And so today the ceiling serves to illustrate the Gospel, Sunday for Sunday, from spring to autumn. In winter the parishioners do without heating in the church for the sake of the paintings and hold their services in the parish hall. Only funeral services and the school Christmas celebrations on Christmas Eve take place in the moderately heated church during the cold season.
St Martin's Church is situated below the historic centre of Zillis. At first, the church possibly stood directly above the wide bed of the Hinterrhein River. Zillis is one of the two settlements nestling at the bottom of the Schams Valley (Romansh: Val Schons), an inner-Alpine valley basin, through which a route has traversed the Alps at least since the Roman era. It used to link Bregenz with Milan, Lake Constance with Lakes Como and Maggiore. The Schams is the secondhighest section of the Hinterrhein Valley. It lies directly south of the Viamala Gorge, which on the northern side of the Alpine ridge represented the main obstacle on the route from Chur over the Splugen Pass to Chiavenna, resp. over the San Bernardino Pass to Bellinzona and Locarno. Throughout all the centuries Zillis occupied a very peripheral position on the inner border of the Alps, but was always on a route connecting the major settlements flanking the Alpine ridge.
THE PAINTED CEILING
THE CONCEPT OF THE PAINTED CEILING
The Zillis ceiling comprises 153 painted panels. They are slotted into longitudinal battens, which until 1938 were attached to the ceiling beams by long nails. Cross-battens are inserted between the painted panels as a connecting link, forming a regular grid. Doubled longitudinal and cross-battens accentuate the junctions of the grid, creating the shape of the cross.
The ceiling is enhanced by a meander frieze which was created at the same time; the greater part of the frieze was restored in 1938-1940. In the frieze we see female busts, representing the Classical sybils, whose prophesies were taken fro(ll late Antiquity onwards as a reference to the Advent of Christ.
The 153 panels are arranged as on a medieval map of the world. There is a border representing the ocean surrounding the Continent, on which the Life of Christ and the legend of St Martin are portrayed.
The border
At the edges of the ceiling, resp. on the borders of the world, swim mythical fish-tailed creatures; there are even some manned boats and music-making sirens on a continuous band of wavy lines, which represent the sea in a simplified and abstract form. Only the angels sounding their horns in the corners, marked as the south wind Auster and the north wind Aquilo, stand on firm land.
The inner cycle
On the interior fields, i.e. the Continent, the Life of Christ is depicted on 98 panels. One half describes Christ's childhood and youth, the other half recounts his miracles, his teaching and Passion. The individual scenes frequently continue over several successive panels. Each half has seven rows with seven panels. The last row of the interior panels is dedicated to the church patron St Martin.
The choir is the best place from which to view the first half of the cycle portraying the Life of Christ. Since the 1940 rearrangement the visitor has been able to «read» the pictures like a text from this vantage point, in rows running from left to right. The cycle begins with a gallery of Christ's ancestors, the Kings of the Old Testament, and the personifications of Synagogue and Ecclesia. The story of Christ's Life begins with the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin, followed by Joseph's Dream, the Visitation and the four panels on the Nativity.
15 panels describe the Journey of the Three Magi. This is followed by the Purification and the the Presentation of the Infant Jesus in the Temple, the Flight into Egypt and the Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem, the Miracle of the Clay Pigeons, the 72-year-old Jesus in the Temple and the Sermons of St John the Baptist.
The second part of the Christological cycle begins with the Baptism of Christ and the Temptation by the Devil. These are followed by cases of miraculous Healings: in addition to the Wedding Feast in Cana and the Raising of Lazarus, we see the Healing of physically and mentally sick persons. The mentally disturbed were considered to be possessed by demons. After the miracles follow the Teachings of Jesus, the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor, the Entry into Jerusalem and the Expulsion of the Moneychangers from the Temple, the Last Supper, the MOunt of Olives, the Betrayal by Judas, Christ before Pilate, the Mocking of Christ and the Crowning with Thorns.
The cycle then breaks off. There is no consensus among researchers on whether this was, in fact, the original end of the cycle or if the Crucifixion and the Rising from the Dead were formerly depicted on the north wall of the nave or in the former Romanesque choir.
The last seven panels of the interior fields describe episodes from the life of St Martin, commencing with the Sharing of the Cloak, probably the best-known element of the legend. This is followed by the Consecration and the Miracle of the Raising from the Dead. The conclusion comprises three panels on St Martin's Encounter with a King who pretended to be Jesus but turned out to be the Devil.
As mentioned above, the panels were rearranged on the ceiling in 1940, the 1938 sequence having been described by experts as «absurd» und «unsystematic». An attempt to reconstruct the original order, based on the sequence of the pictures before 1938, gives the following results: the panels were arranged to be read by following the rows in an S-shaped order. In the centre of the ceiling there was the depiction of Christ's Baptism; in front of this, the scenes with St John the Baptist; behind, the four panels on the Temptation of Christ by the Devil.
During the Reformation the sequence of the panels was probably altered. In the cycle depicting the Life of St Martin, the consecration scene was removed from the central axis. The sermons of St John the Baptist and the Temptation of Christ by the Devil disappeared from the central row and were replaced by the cases of miraculous healing and depictions of Christ's teachings. From the 16th century until 1938 the Expulsion of the Moneychangers from the Temple, as a symbol of one of the Reformation's main tenets, was set in the centre of the ceiling replacing Christ's Baptism.
