"Women Throughout the Centuries", a Resident Assistant coordinated event, held in the Romo Cafe at Robert Morris University. Prestigious spokes women, Laura Green Schoenfeld (Assistant Director of Student Life) and Tracy Gorrell (Assistant Director, Center for Student Success) from RMU's faculty speak out on their views of certain gender equality topics.
Throughout the early 1900’s, leading car manufacturers across Europe competed against one another to provide their customers with the fastest and most maneuverable vehicles. To a majority of the racing world, the Americans were absent. Even to this day, many enthusiasts still refer to the Corvette as America’s first Sports Car. However, despite being small in number, there were American manufacturers that sought glory through winning in the early days of the automobile. This Demo Day covered their story. Featured cars included, the 1909 American Underslung, 1911/13 Mercer Raceabout 35J, 1927 Stutz AA Black Hawk Challenger, 1928 Stutz AA Black Hawk Speedster, and the 1966 Corvette 427 Stingray.

I have boated around Bannerman's Island throughout my childhood in the 1980s. It is the ruins of an unusual "castle" situated a few miles north of West Point and slightly south of Newburgh New York.
We boated around this island for many years, but getting close was difficult since there are rocks and sandbars and silted areas. I know many people would take small boats and kayaks to the island and "party" aka vandalize the island's buildings. Since 1993 a trust has been formed to save and promote the island as a state park. steps have been made to stabilize the remaining structures. In the years since I used to sail by it much of the castle has collapsed beyond the point of repair. Fortunately spelunkers can not get on the island easily and there are alarm systems in place to protect it.
It was an arsenal owned by Frank Bannerman, son of a Scottish immigrant who started a business buying military surplus. This was old, outdated weaponry and military equipment (even things as small as buttons) sold mainly to collectors. NO weapons were ever sold to a warring party. Wagon wheels rifles, cannon balls, uniforms, helmets, guns, boots. rations, swords, shovels...anything the military used and didn't need were bought up and resold.
They also was acquired live ammunition and gun powder which was originally stored in warehouses in Brooklyn. THe City of NY (rightfully so) decided they could not store this in the city and insisted they find a new warehouse for all this explosive material. The island used to be known to shad fisherman as a place to drink and take prostitutes to. A wealthy woman bought the island to stop this and then sold it to Bannerman - on the condition that no alcohol could be consumed on the island.Being a solid Presbyterian Bannerman agreed and began building a warehouse.
He built a bunker for powder and a huge warehouse to store military surplus. he never hired an architect but instead scribbled out drawings of medieval castle designs which he hired workers to build. The terrible condition of the property is due, in large part because of Bannerman's cheapness in building.
He used low-grade cement, and 2nd grade bricks and they followed no standard building practices. The island is almost all solid rock and Bannerman blasted out a flat spot for the warehouse. Rather than buy building materials he used as much waste rock as possible.
ON the top of the Island he had a summer house or lodge built for his family. It is eclectic like the castle and decorated with lots of Scottish memorabilia. The Scottish and American flags were the symbol for his company. THe house is now a shell of its former self but it really quaint and must have provided awesome views of the Hudson Highlands.
THe castle ad lodge are decorated with cannon ball motifs - something he was very fond of. He also decorated the places with drain tiles that look like cannons poking out of the turrets. All the walls are decorated with arrow slits like medieval castles. The cannon ball motif is everywhere. MOst were made of cement but two live, explosive cannon balls were found to adorn the center warehouse during removal of live ammunition in the 1950s. One dropped 2 stories (the crewman covering his ears for the explosion and his end) but did not explode!
In about 1900 the powder room ignited (as the city officials were afraid of) and set off an explosion that damaged houses miles away and threw the doors from the powder room nearly a mile away. The powder house was gone but nobody was severely injured. The warehouses were damaged but intact. He never repaired the windows or the roof of the building - also hastening it's degradation. Cheap Cheap!
The island remained in the family's hands until the 1950s when the Island was closed and the stock was sold off. Looters apparently routinely "visited" the island further damaging the structure.
IN the teens Bannerman acquired barges to build protected swimming areas on the sides of the island. He removed the flooring from the barges, filled them with dirt and rocks and sunk them to make a sort of natural harbor. These areas have silted up (the Hudson is very muddy) and make navigation nearby quite risky.
Bannerman used the floorboards from the barges for flooring in the warehouses and in the 1960s there was a fire that gutted the castle. THe boards were soaked with creosote ad burned like they were soaked with gasoline. The company was officially closed up in the 1970s and the Island lay unprotected and in increasing disrepair until the 1990s.
This has been a dream to see the island and I am so glad they are working so hard to preserve this unusual piece of history.
November 11, 2024-Veterans Day was commemorated throughout the National Capital Area including at Arlington National Cemetery, the World War II Memorial, the National World War I Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Women's Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, and many other sites.
The Doughboy Foundation hosted a "Bells of Peace" commemoration at the World War I Memorial at 11 a.m. on Veterans Day. "Bells of Peace" commemorates the end of World War I and pays tribute to the 116,516 Americans who died during that conflict. Wreaths were presented from embassies and veteran organizations. The National World War I brass bell was rung 21 times and the solemn bugle calls of Aux Morts, Last Post and Taps was sounded in honor of those who gave their lives during WWI. The National World War I Memorial is at Pershing Square in Washington, D.C. (VA/Robert Turtil)
Throughout this project my aim was to portray the act or process of colour through the use of imagery. I have researched a variety of photographers including Viviane Sassen and Charlie Engman who portray a bold use of colour through the clothes the models are wearing and the location of the shoots.
George Inness, (1828 - 1894)
The Catskills, Toward Evening,
Oil on canvas painting, signed and dated, 1870.
Depicts a landscape with a creek running diagonally at bottom center, a large tree in the center foreground, mountains in the distance along the horizon, and sunshine gleaming through clouds at top.
George Inness focused on landscape painting throughout his long and productive career. Beginning as an artist of the Hudson River School, he was influenced by the European old masters and the French Barbizon school, later turning to a more atmospheric, Tonalist style. This view of the Catskills was painted mid-way through the artist's career, shortly before he left America to study and paint in Europe for four years.
Inness was deeply interested in religion and philosophy and studied the ideas of Emanuel Swedenborg. He taught art at the Eagleswood Military Academy, where his students included Carleton Wiggins and Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Louis Comfort Tiffany in New London
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpMVFDjhPXM&t=6s
This Gilded Age permanent collection gallery includes stained-glass windows, lamps, favrile glass vessels, silver, jewelry, paintings, archival photographs, and other objects, many of which come from Tiffany family descendants. Louis Comfort Tiffany’s parents hailed from Killingly, CT, and although they lived in New York City, the family often visited relatives in Norwich and New London. Louis’s first wife, Mary Goddard, was from Norwich, as was Louis’s brother-in-law Alfred Mitchell, who married his sister Annie. The Mitchells acquired a home in New London overlooking the Thames River, and Louis and his family were frequent visitors there in the mid-to-late 1870s and 1880s.
Tiffany in New London features three stained-glass windows from New London that anchor the gallery, evoking the contemplative memorial and ecclesiastical environment for which they were created. The local patrons who commissioned these and other objects offer insight into a key period in New London’s history, when the region flourished and was a popular seaside resort for the wealthy. The stained-glass windows also illustrate Louis Comfort Tiffany’s many technical innovations in glassmaking, as do examples of Tiffany Studios’ lamps and favrile glass. Tiffany was an artist and designer of incredible breadth who worked in a range of styles and materials. He traveled extensively and was influenced by the art and culture of the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. Related Aesthetic-era and Art Nouveau fine art and decorative arts are included to show their influence and overlap with Tiffany’s innovative designs.

The Lyman Allyn Art Museum is home to a collection of more than 18,000 works.
The Museum opened in March 1932 with only 13 objects from the permanent collection on view. Of the original 13 on display, four were of Asian or ancient origin, four were European sculptures – two of which were quite modern – and five were European works on paper dating from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Today, the collection has grown to include more than 18,000 paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, furniture and decorative arts as a result of active acquisitions by the Museum and generous donations to the Lyman Allyn.
The collection spans a 2,600-year period, ranging from ancient Greek and Roman artifacts to works by living artists, with particular strengths in American and European art from the 18th and 19th centuries. Notable artists in the collection include Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church, Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth, John Copley, Winthrop Chandler, Paul Revere, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Sol LeWitt, Eugene Delacroix, Charles LeBrun, J. A. D. Ingres, and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, among many others.
The 18th Century
New London’s deep water harbor has driven the regional economy since colonial times, connecting southeastern Connecticut to the broader Atlantic world. In the 18th century, local shipping merchants specialized in the West Indies trade, exporting livestock and food to Caribbean plantations in exchange for sugar, molasses, and rum. Economic growth and stability in the second half of the century enabled colonists to acquire a greater range of household goods—textiles, silver, glass, ceramics, furniture, and paintings among them. Some goods were imported, while others were produced in the home or by craftsmen and artists, whose work and skill expanded to meet increasing demand. The Tea Table and the painting of Sarah Deshon (from the same family) tell a local story, showing how the Deshons of 18th century New London cemented their status and wealth from trade with objects that conveyed their social and economic standing.
Connecticut played a key role in the American Revolution, as political tension over taxation and colonial governance led to war with Britain. With the British headquartered in New York City, New London’s harbor was an ideal site from which to initiate naval attacks on British loyalists. New London’s privateering (the use of authorized private ships to attack and loot enemy ships) prompted British troops to retaliate, burning New London in the Battle of Groton Heights on September 6, 1781.
Daniel Huntington’s portrait of Abigail Dolbeare Hinman, 1854–56, recreates an episode from this event, showing Hinman standing with her musket in hand, attempting to shoot Benedict Arnold, who can be seen through the window, sitting on horseback.
The 19th Century
As the young nation sought to define itself in the first half of the 19th century, artists created objects and paintings to unite Americans around common ideals of liberty, justice, and hope for the future. Some objects were overtly patriotic, while others were less direct. Hudson River School landscapes, for example, expressed pride in the nation’s natural resources, with scenes from the woods, rivers, and mountains of the northeast standing in for all of America, suggesting the promise of land, the spread of civilization, and the unique, almost spiritual quality of the landscape.
Artists also traveled to Europe to study art and see the sights, painting mountains and classical ruins, as Thomas Cole did in his the majestic view of Mount Etna, drawing visual connections between the ideals of the newly minted American Republic and those of classical antiquity.
Steam power, the railroad, the telegraph, and improved roads and canals ushered in the age of industrialization, facilitating the mass production and transportation of goods. Whereas many objects had been crafted by hand in the previous century, the 19th century saw the rise of goods made with machines. Connecticut mills and factories produced munitions, tinworks, clocks, furniture, and textiles, among other things. Early factories were fueled by whale oil, an important industrial lubricant and lamp fuel supplied by whaling, the most significant part of New London’s economy for several decades.
Isaac Sheffield, who painted portraits of many local whaling captains, portrayed five-year-old James Francis Smith shortly after his return from a long whaling voyage in 1837 with his father, New London whaling captain Franklin Smith. They had gone to Desolation Island in the South Seas, and his portrait shows him wearing a penguin skin coat, with the Chelsea, the ship his father had captained, in the background.
The United States grew dramatically over the course of the 19th century, expanding westward and growing in population with waves of immigration. Regional differences and tension over slavery and states’ rights erupted in the U.S. Civil War (1861–65). In New London County, a number of textile mills were built to supply the Union troops. After the war, New England’s mills became an industrial powerhouse, employing and sustaining entire towns.
The 20th Century
In a period of tremendous growth and change, artists looked forward and back, charting new terrain with abstraction, while revisiting their artistic roots through innovative approaches to traditional genres such as landscape, still life, and portraiture.
The early 20th century was a time of rapid expansion and industrialization fueled in part by waves of immigration. A decade of exuberance followed World War I before the stock market crash of 1929 initiated the Great Depression of the 1930s. Abstraction and European modernism filtered into American art, while a realistic, regional style simultaneously held sway, resulting in a mix of subjects and styles.
Many artists were drawn to the energy and bustle of the modern city, awash in crowds and transformed by industry, skyscrapers and the automobile. The city could be intense, noisy, and oppressive, however, and some artists retreated during the summer to Connecticut art colonies to paint peaceful landscapes and scenes of leisure. Guy Wiggins drew inspiration from both the city and the country, painting impressionistic views of New York in winter, as well as scenes such as Church on the Hill, ca. 1910–12, showing country life in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
Beatrice Cuming’s painting, Chubb, shows a submarine being built in Groton, Connecticut during World War II. Cuming’s canvas affirms New London’s long connection to the sea and celebrates industry at a time when the nation was consumed with the war effort.
Post-War Art
In the prosperity and growth of the post-World War II era, a multiplicity of artistic trends and styles arose, dominated by abstraction. New York emerged as the center of the international art world. The 1960s and ‘70s witnessed cultural upheaval as people of color and women sought equal rights and many protested the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. The prevalence of advertising and mass media led artists to explore new themes, performance, and technology, questioning the definitions of art and the idea of originality.
Since the 1980s, the postmodern art world has been in flux, and issues of gender, race, politics, and cultural identity have been at the fore in our globalized and technology-driven world. In A.R.T. (in the new world order), 1994, African-American artist Willie Cole uses text on a blackboard to create an acrostic poem of sorts, using various word associations and erasure to define and comment on art and culture.

Throughout the book, we were asked to keep in mind the perspective of the author. This picture perfectly illustrates how depending on perspective, things could be really different.

Throughout the history of mankind, epidemics have always been decisive, since until medical science could at least partially explain their root causes and how to protect against them, they threatened the existence of several countries and the lives of their people, and influenced their further fate. In Europe, one of the most terrifying epidemics raging for centuries was the plague, which was often referred to as "death by rot" or "gland death". The largest plague epidemic in Europe swept through the second half of the 1930s, and it also reached Hungary in 1939-1940. The former plague cemetery of Promontor in Budafok was opened in the area between today's Nagytétényi Road 20-24. Those who died in the plague were buried naked, wrapped in a sheet at the moment, in a mass grave formed by an open ditch. The dead placed in it were immediately covered with slaked lime, and after the trench was filled, it was immediately buried. The mass graves created in this way, then used and closed, were not disturbed afterwards, and the area of the epidemic cemetery (as long as the memory of the generations preserved it) was not used for anything else. In 1939, the local quarries carved a chapel into the rock wall surrounding the western side of the plague cemetery, at a height of about one story, where they performed an annual mass for those who died in the plague. The last written mention of the chapel is known from the Canonica visitatio conducted in the early 1790s, which records the exact location of the chapel and its interior furnishings, as well as the name of the person responsible for its maintenance. The records of subsequent church visits no longer mention this place, and by the beginning of the 19th century it was completely forgotten. Local historians came across the building at the end of the 1980s, when the chapel room was being used as a paint warehouse, and it was then that they found the additional rooms built next to it for the purpose of housing. The Pestis Chapel was owned by the Ferenczy Vineyard years ago, and currently belongs to the area of the tourism project marked "Záborszky Mansion – Wine City" and is one of its visual elements. In order to implement the project, significant investments have been made here in recent years, changing the face of the environment and functionally transforming the underground world as well.
It goes without saying that in the hillside masonry, in addition to the individual cellar entrances, you can also find smaller and larger walled rooms-cavities that once functioned as cave dwellings. After the expulsion of the Turks, the industrial boom of quarrying took place in the second half of the 17th century, now strongly in the 18th-19th century. At that time and later, with the wine and grape culture that developed, cave dwellings were also built in series, so Budafok and Nagytétény (today's 22nd district) and Diósd were once Europe's largest cave dwelling areas. The underground dwellings were occupied in increasing numbers by those who settled due to the job opportunities in the capital, so a huge cave-dwelling settlement was formed. There is an economic reason for this: by the end of the 19th century, the authorities in the capital greatly increased the official taxes imposed on recreational items (mainly spirits), so businesses involved in their trade tried to establish themselves outside the borders of the capital, but close to the capital. There were several types of these cave dwellings. The most famous and most common type among them was the Turkish cave dwelling complex (the troglodyte settlement), which is usually a 12 m or more high and about 120 m long cave passage without roofs built next to each other. Most of these cave dwellings were filled in or renovated as wine cellar restaurants in the mid-1990s, because they became very vulnerable to collapse at the beginning of the 20th century. The other most characteristic type of cave dwellings is the dwellings dug into deep courtyards formed during quarrying: the earth layer was carried away from a plot of land, and then smaller holes were dug into the sides of the square where the excavated stones were. These types of dwellings were mainly inhabited by grape workers, and stone miners lived in the houses built in the caves. In the 19-20th century, there was a period when more than a thousand families lived in such underground shelters in very difficult conditions, which were even worse than the destitute of the villages, the jailers who were forced to take on daily wages. The width of the cave dwellings was usually 4-6 meters, and their length did not exceed 15-20 meters. One such apartment with a deep courtyard, which can still be seen today and can be viewed as a museum relic, is located in Budafok-Uptown on Veréb Street, which luckily escaped burial after it became the property of the Budapest History Museum in 1971. An elderly woman, Widow Győző Tóth, lived in this apartment until the end of the 1960s until her death. At today's exhibition, you can see the aunt's former room, kitchen, the living quarters of the tenants and the tools of the local artisans.
With the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to the rapid development of public works, urbanization became stronger, more and more civilian residential buildings were built, and as a result, social needs began to grow more and more. Along with this, it also contributed to the fact that by the turn of the century, the areas that provided normal, relatively dry housing and contained rock had run out, and the needy were forced to build housing in increasingly poorer materials. In addition to the periods of war and economic crises, the situation was also complicated by the appearance of the poorest strata resettled from across the border. The soil of South Buda and its surroundings resembled a cheese with holes, the cave dwellings became more and more crowded, it happened that 2-3 families lived together in one two-room apartment. As a result of overcrowding, musty, unventilated and windowless cellars, as well as the lack of clean water and sewerage, diseases appeared to a greater extent among the cellar dwellers, and more and more recent epidemics decimated their numbers. Among the epidemics, the most common were tuberculosis, dysentery, typhus, but cholera and leprosy did not escape the population either. In addition, as a result of the complete lack of natural sunlight, rickets was also common, which led to body distortion. Infant mortality was significant, only every third or fourth newborn lived to school age. There have also been cases where a cemetery was established on the land above the cave dwellings, and thus the unfortunate cellar dwellers found themselves on the same level as the dead. After that, you can't be surprised at the development of various diseases. As a result of socialization, health and social science became stronger and even became separate sciences, public health state institutes and social aid organizations were already established between the two world wars. Among the competent authorities and those dealing with social problems, the demand for the eradication of cave dwellings in the vicinity of the capital and, with it, in the entire country, has increasingly arisen. The leaders of the individual settlements could not stand idly by the phenomenon of the slums either, because the underground housing estates, in addition to spreading epidemics and diseases, also gave the given settlement an extremely bad reputation. The media also contributed significantly to the eradication of cave dwellings, individual newspaper articles sometimes only for the sake of sensationalism, but mostly in order to present and bring to light the bad conditions, dealt with the people living underground. Therefore, in February 1956, when the capitalist system was already flourishing (the "Cursed" Era), the 22nd district council president made a strict decision: "It should not happen that, as a result of the measures taken by our party and our state in the field of the peace struggle, as well as to increase the number of tourists, some foreigners who have visited Budapest can take pictures of these caves dwellings!" The final liquidation of the underground shelters was carried out by the housing construction campaigns of the 1950s with the cooperation of the Housing Management Department. At that time, the construction of multi-storey city apartment buildings, social rental apartments and panel buildings began at breakneck speed. In order to prevent people from moving back underground, after the evictions, the doors and windows of the cave dwellings were removed and the entrances were walled up. Many former cave dwellings were filled with waste from Diósd's sand mine, debris, garbage and various industrial waste, such as sludge from the Óbuda Gas Factory and gas purification slag. The harmfulness of the filling process with various types of garbage and industrial waste was revealed only decades later, with the appearance of toxic substances. The last cave dwellings in Budafoki were liquidated in the mid-1970s, such dwellings quietly disappeared in the settlements around the capital, their inhabitants moved out or emigrated. After that, underground dwellings could only be found very rarely, because there were some inhabitants who stubbornly clung to their cave until their death. For example, even in the mid-2000s, underground apartments existed in Érd and Százhalombatta.

The status of the Sunnah (This is the Guidance with which the Prophet
(S) came. It includes his sayings, actions or his attributes.) of the
Prophet Muhammad (S) as a divine source of Islamic law and guidance
has been accepted unanimously by the Muslims throughout the centuries.
However, during the last century, many non-Muslim Orientalists and
their followers have tried to castdoubts in the authority of the
Sunnah, and have created a suspicious attitude towards Ahaadeeth.
The Ahaadeeths of our Messenger (S) all of which have been
scrupulously studied and verified by specialists in the study of
Ahaadeeth. Because of this,it is appropriate to mention a few facts
about the authority and reliabilityof the Sunnah, so that any
skepticism and suspicions can be laid to rest.
As for the authority of the Sunnah, then it must be understood that
the role ofthe Prophet Muhammad (S)was not as a mere postman who,
after delivering his letter, has noconcern with it whatsoever. The
Messengerwas not sent just to deliverthe Book of Allah, but to expound
it and demonstrate a practical example of its contents. (Aal-`Imran
3:164.) This function of the Prophet (S) could not be carried out
unless his guidance was held to be authoritative and binding upon his
followers. Thus Allah made obedience to His Messenger(S) an obligation
upon mankind. (Aal-`Imraan 3:132, An-Noor 24:54, etc.)
Today many Muslims do not understand this point, thinking that
following andobeying the Prophet's (S) commands is a matter of choice,
and that it is only the commandments in the Qur'ân that they are
duty-bound to comply with. This misconception was indeed prophesied by
the Messenger (S) who made the correct position and status of the
Sunnah explicitly clear. He said,
{Indeed I have been given the Qur'ân, and that which is like it along
with it; yet the time is coming where aman reclining on his couch will
say, "Keep to this Qur'ân: what you find in it to be permissible treat
as permissible; and what you find prohibited treat as prohibited." But
what Allah's Messenger has prohibited is like what Allah has
prohibited.} (Recorded by Ahmad, Abu Daawood, and others. Verified to
be authentic by al-Albaani (Saheeh ul-Jaami` 8186).
Careful consideration of this ahaadeeth will also lead us to deduce
that his (S) authority was not confined to his time, as many nowadays
purport; itholds good for all times to come. Since the above ahaadeeth
is a prophecy, it also shows us that the Sunnah is divine in its
origin.
Allah is Al-Aleem (the All-Knowing) and Al-Hakeem (the All-Wise); and
He is aware of the pastand everything to come in the future. Thus, His
divinely revealed Sunnah isapplicable to mankind from the time of the
Prophet (S) until the Day ofResurrection. Allah is able to do all
things; and He hasgiven us a Sunnah that is preserved, perfect and
complete and does not need to be changed with the times. Surely
removing something from it when it is complete and perfect willonly
cause imperfection and incompleteness. He hastold us (by revealing to
theProphet (S) towards the end of his life):
{This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favor
upon you and have chosen for you Islam as your way of
life.}(Al-Maaidah 5:3.)
As for the reliability of the Prophet's (S) Sunnah, first of all,
contrary to what many think, compilation of the Prophet's (S) Sunnah
began in his own lifetime. Many Companions of the Messenger (R)
documented the sayings and actions of the Prophet (S); and this was
something the Prophet (S) himself instructed them to do. He (S) said
to one of his Companions (R):
{Continue writing [what I say] for by Him in whose Hand is my soul,
nothing comes out from my mouth except the Truth.} ( Ahmad,Abu
Daawood, and others. Verified to be authentic by al-Albaani
(As-Saheehah 1532)
Moreover, writing was not their sole means of preservation. The Arabs
before Islam were well accustomed to memorizingthousands of verses of
poetry./

Almost everyone has money issues throughout their lives. Some individuals consider family members once they need money. Lots of people choose to get what they really want elsewhere. A pay day loan is just one of these places. Make use of the information here to assist you with regards to payday cash loans.
Browse the fees on your own loan. This is the way you will know what the price of borrowing the cash is. Individuals are protected by regulations regarding high rates of interest. Payday cash loans charge "fees" instead of interest. This enables them to skirt the regulations. This could dramatically boost the total price from the loan. Your requirement for this pay day loan could be better determined using the right information.
You need to always investigate alternatives before accepting a pay day loan. It is best for the pocketbook when you can borrow from a family member, secure a bank loan or perhaps a charge card. Fees off their places are better than pay day loan fees.
Remember that pay day loan balances should be repaid fast. Discover when you really need to pay back the cash and ensure you could have the cash at that time. This can apply generally, unless the date of the next payday occurs under 1 week after receiving the loan. It won't be due up until the next payday.
Don't go empty-handed whenever you attempt to have a pay day loan. You need to take along a couple of items to acquire a pay day loan. You need to provide them with your earnings info, an ID, as well as your banking account number. Different companies might require different documents. To avoid wasting time, call ahead and get them what items are needed.
Be cautious of too-good-to-be-true promises produced by loan companies. Many of these companies have bad intentions. They make money by loaning money to individuals who they understand will most likely not pay promptly. Although these businesses make promises, they often have loop holes to obtain around them.
Just about everyone has money troubles within their lifetime. There are plenty of pay day loan companies available that will help you. This short article will demonstrate how they may assist you. xn--smslnutaninkomst-gob.org/
I have boated around Bannerman's Island throughout my childhood in the 1980s. It is the ruins of an unusual "castle" situated a few miles north of West Point and slightly south of Newburgh New York.
We boated around this island for many years, but getting close was difficult since there are rocks and sandbars and silted areas. I know many people would take small boats and kayaks to the island and "party" aka vandalize the island's buildings. Since 1993 a trust has been formed to save and promote the island as a state park. steps have been made to stabilize the remaining structures. In the years since I used to sail by it much of the castle has collapsed beyond the point of repair. Fortunately spelunkers can not get on the island easily and there are alarm systems in place to protect it.
It was an arsenal owned by Frank Bannerman, son of a Scottish immigrant who started a business buying military surplus. This was old, outdated weaponry and military equipment (even things as small as buttons) sold mainly to collectors. NO weapons were ever sold to a warring party. Wagon wheels rifles, cannon balls, uniforms, helmets, guns, boots. rations, swords, shovels...anything the military used and didn't need were bought up and resold.
They also was acquired live ammunition and gun powder which was originally stored in warehouses in Brooklyn. THe City of NY (rightfully so) decided they could not store this in the city and insisted they find a new warehouse for all this explosive material. The island used to be known to shad fisherman as a place to drink and take prostitutes to. A wealthy woman bought the island to stop this and then sold it to Bannerman - on the condition that no alcohol could be consumed on the island.Being a solid Presbyterian Bannerman agreed and began building a warehouse.
He built a bunker for powder and a huge warehouse to store military surplus. he never hired an architect but instead scribbled out drawings of medieval castle designs which he hired workers to build. The terrible condition of the property is due, in large part because of Bannerman's cheapness in building.
He used low-grade cement, and 2nd grade bricks and they followed no standard building practices. The island is almost all solid rock and Bannerman blasted out a flat spot for the warehouse. Rather than buy building materials he used as much waste rock as possible.
ON the top of the Island he had a summer house or lodge built for his family. It is eclectic like the castle and decorated with lots of Scottish memorabilia. The Scottish and American flags were the symbol for his company. THe house is now a shell of its former self but it really quaint and must have provided awesome views of the Hudson Highlands.
THe castle ad lodge are decorated with cannon ball motifs - something he was very fond of. He also decorated the places with drain tiles that look like cannons poking out of the turrets. All the walls are decorated with arrow slits like medieval castles. The cannon ball motif is everywhere. MOst were made of cement but two live, explosive cannon balls were found to adorn the center warehouse during removal of live ammunition in the 1950s. One dropped 2 stories (the crewman covering his ears for the explosion and his end) but did not explode!
In about 1900 the powder room ignited (as the city officials were afraid of) and set off an explosion that damaged houses miles away and threw the doors from the powder room nearly a mile away. The powder house was gone but nobody was severely injured. The warehouses were damaged but intact. He never repaired the windows or the roof of the building - also hastening it's degradation. Cheap Cheap!
The island remained in the family's hands until the 1950s when the Island was closed and the stock was sold off. Looters apparently routinely "visited" the island further damaging the structure.
IN the teens Bannerman acquired barges to build protected swimming areas on the sides of the island. He removed the flooring from the barges, filled them with dirt and rocks and sunk them to make a sort of natural harbor. These areas have silted up (the Hudson is very muddy) and make navigation nearby quite risky.
Bannerman used the floorboards from the barges for flooring in the warehouses and in the 1960s there was a fire that gutted the castle. THe boards were soaked with creosote ad burned like they were soaked with gasoline. The company was officially closed up in the 1970s and the Island lay unprotected and in increasing disrepair until the 1990s.
This has been a dream to see the island and I am so glad they are working so hard to preserve this unusual piece of history.

Herring Gull
Herring gulls are large, noisy gulls found throughout the year around our coasts and inland around rubbish tips, fields, large reservoirs and lakes, especially during winter. Adults have light grey backs, white under parts, and black wing tips with white 'mirrors'. Their legs are pink, with webbed feet and they have heavy, slightly hooked bills marked with a red spot. Young birds are mottled brown. They have suffered moderate declines over the past 25 years and over half of their UK breeding population is confined to fewer than ten sites.

Throughout the week community members unclenched their fists, dipped brushes in shades of lavender and sage, and inscribed their hopes and dreams on open palms. Posing with written futures on their palms, workshop participants, many of whom are often underrepresented in public spaces and policies, crafted portraits that became wheatpastes displayed on the streets of Mar Mikhael, the epicenter of Beirut’s nightlife.
For people who are too often invisible in society, these portraits are a way to reclaim their identities as migrants, refugees and human rights activists.
Throughout August in Edinburgh there are surprises waiting at almost every turn and around each corner. On our way from venue to venue we happened across a great sound at the foot of the Mound. This band was a delight to dance to and to photograph. Unfortunately the party after this musical surprise somewhat dulled my memory and I did not remember their name. Fortunately I have been reminded that this band are The Spinning Blowfish.

ThatLadyWithTheCamera www.flickr.com/photos/47911363@N05/ was kind enough to make a comment on this set on Flickr which has given me a chance to link these pictures to the band. If you have a chance to see the band and to buy their CD do not pass by if your feet are tip tapping and your hands are clapping join in the fray and enjoy a musical interlude to your day.

Tropical Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa latipes)
Xylocopa latipes, the tropical carpenter bee, is a species of carpenter bee widely dispersed throughout Southeast Asia. As its name suggests, this bee inhabits forests in warm tropical climates and constructs nests by burrowing into wood. It often makes long deep tunnels in wooden rafters, fallen trees, telephone poles and the like, but is not found in living trees.
It was first scientifically described by the English entomologist, Dru Drury in 1773, and is a member of the group of solitary bees (Family Apidae).
The tropical carpenter bee is a very large, robust, solitary bee. It is shiny, fully black in colour with fuscous metallic blue-green or purple wings in sunlight. The tropical carpenter bee is probably the largest Xylocopa known and among the largest bees of the world (though it is not the world's largest, that title belongs to another Southeast Asian bee, the Indonesian Megachile pluto). It has a loud and distinctive, low-pitched buzzing that can be heard as it flies between flowers or perches. In Urban areas, these bees can become attached to certain perches, returning to them day after day, even after several generations.
Carpenter bees mate on-the-wing. Males grasp the females in flight and place their front or middle legs, which have fringes of long setae, over the compound eyes of their mate. It is thought that the dilated front legs of males of some species of carpenter bees collect and trap oils and odours that function during mating.
Xylocopa latipes are considered multivoltine as they can have more than two generations per year but this depends on the availability of floral resources in their habitat.
In Malaysia, tropical carpenter bees often choose useful structural woods as nesting sites, as they are able to burrow through it with their powerful mandibles. Tropical carpenter bees construct multiple galleries (3 - 5) of about 11 cm in length and 2.1 - 2.3 cm in diameter.
Tropical carpenter bees choose dead wood, pithy stems and bamboo culms for nesting. Preferred wood species for the tropical carpenter bee include, Syzygium cumini, Cassia siamea, Dyera costulata (jelutong), Agathis alba (damar minyak), Alstonia spp. (pulai), and Shorea spp. (light-red meranti). They tend to avoid nyatoh, kapur, kempas, and mengkulang (local names for native trees of Malaysia).
Carpenter bees are used commercially in the Philippines to pollinate passion-fruit flowers. They naturally perform the same function in Indonesia and Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia. In addition, passion-fruit flowers (Passiflora edulis flavicarpa) have been found to bloom in synchrony with tropical carpenter bee foraging rhythms, indicating an evolving relationship between the two species.
Throughout our lives, we are given opportunities great and small. Whether it be physical possessions that are bestowed on us, or through acts of labor or love, sacrifices have been made for our benefit by those around us. Growing up among the distractions of a modern society, it can sometimes be difficult to take notice of the gifts we receive daily. To me, thinking about my personal possessions and how I attained them is a very important part of my self-comprehension. My family and friends make obvious contributions to my health and happiness, but recently I’ve begun to acknowledge the fact that millions of other beings have silently played a part in my life, and they never even had the choice.
As I contemplated this fact over the past few months, it seemed only logical that I had to somehow show my appreciation not only for those closest to me, but for all sentient beings. The dining table is the traditional meeting ground for providing a bounty for your family, for showing reverence to company, and for celebrating the changing seasons. It is at this table that I hold the assembly of my seen and the unseen benefactors of my life. The images may seem cheerless, but as the animal loses its life, other lives are nourished. Whole civilizations have been built up around these resources, and they will continue to use them for generations to come. These portraits are my tribute to those who have endured so much for my existence, either by choice or by chance.
