Regarding the award-winning physicist Dr. Elliot McGucken at Princeton University, the late John Archibald Wheeler stated, "More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet."

 

Dr. E would go on to heal the blind with his NSF-funded, award-winning Ph.D. dissertation which also laid down the foundations of Light Time Dimension Theory. Over the years, LTD Theory added foundational *physical* postulates, principles, and equations en route to becoming numerous books, with this one forming the simple, illustrated introduction.

The great thing about the beach is that it presents an entirely different universe from season to season, from day to day, from hour to hour, from second to second, with the ever changing wind, tides, clouds, and sun. A split second with tumbling surf and a sinking sun can make a vast different, resulting in entirely different photographs.

They say the last Blackhawk will be carried to the boneyard in a sling hung underneath a Huey.

 

Wouldn't that be great?

HMLA-773, affectionately known as the "Red Dogs" traces their roots back to 1958 when the squadron stood up at Naval Air Station Grosse Ile, Mich. flying Piasecki HUP-2 "Retrivers."

 

A cool bit of trivia for us Michiganders...

Cheerful, versatile, and highly functional -- I love the mix of open shelves and glass-fronted cabinets, and the shot of yellow introduced through the servingware. Another great feature? The undermount sink. It looks gorgeous and means easier clean-up, too.

This simple, but versatile set is currently available at the Chop Zuey Couture main store. It has a hud with a variety of colors and textures for the set, so it will match a variety of looks. It is very simple, yet so elegant. I especially love the cabochon earrings with pave stones surrounding them. They are great with longer hairstyles because they sit close to the ear and can be seen through most mesh hair. Lovely!

I want to be "in" love. This heart is far too big to keep to myself! Speaking of love, I do sincerely love the Urban Outfitters Dolman top. It's very versatile, and very comfy.... I wish it was mine.

Versatile in it’s load out options the M-ASS can be just want you want it to be on the battlefield – as long as you have the right attachments. Right now it's sporting a lookout nest (with anti-personal rounds)", prisonor containment pod (ruthlessly strapped in the line of fire), anti mech cannon, orange rockets (the worst kind), and chingun chaingun (love for the komas). Probably will do a couple loadouts for this frame. Probably do a bare shot too.

 

Wanted a different quad walker then the normal insect looking variety.This one is more of a lumbering beast. Better pictures are on the way - but my camera’s dead, and I’m impatient - so I will post this one now.

 

I have ornamental grasses behind the pond, which are usually bomb proof. This year even they are dying.

Your guess is as good as mine. Seen in Lost Valley which is in the Buffalo National River park near Ponca, Arkansas.

“ASTRO DELTA-WINGED VEHICLE would combine aircraft and rocketry concepts into a versatile manned space system that could be reused many times for ferrying personnel and supplies to space stations and for maintenance and repair of unmanned satellites. Douglas Missile & Space Systems engineer M. W. Root said booster-spacecraft could be flying within five years. Drawing by Douglas artist shows Astro on satellite maintenance and repair mission. Both first-stage booster and spacecraft are capable of returning to earth and landing at conventional airports. Two-stage system is launched vertically.”

 

…not to mention the pressure-suited Astronaut in a sort of next-generation, manipulator/grapple arm-equipped “bottle suit”, performing the repairs.

The Gulf of Mexico, Yucatan peninsula and western Cuba are visible to the upper right.

Oh yeah, check out the intensity & uniformity of the light emitted by the headlight(s) on the front of the "bottle suit". Looks like that of LEDs...in 1963.

 

Per a 68-page report by the Space Systems Engineering division of Douglas Aircraft Company, ASTRO is “Advanced Spacecraft Truck/Trainer/Transport Reusable Orbiter," a fully reusable two-stage to orbit vehicle composed of two aerodynamically similar lifting bodies.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Curtiss P-40E Warhawk (Kittyhawk IA):

 

Whether known as the Warhawk, Tomahawk, or Kittyhawk, the Curtiss P-40 proved to be a successful, versatile fighter during the first half of World War II. The shark-mouthed Tomahawks that Gen. Claire Chennault's "Flying Tigers" flew in China against the Japanese remain among the most popular airplanes of the war. P-40E pilot Lt. Boyd D. Wagner became the first American ace of World War II when he shot down six Japanese aircraft in the Philippines in mid-December 1941.

 

Curtiss-Wright built this airplane as Model 87-A3 and delivered it to Canada as a Kittyhawk I in 1941. It served until 1946 in No. 111 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force. U.S. Air Force personnel at Andrews Air Force Base restored it in 1975 to represent an aircraft of the 75th Fighter Squadron, 23rd Fighter Group, 14th Air Force.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird:

 

No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated globally in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world's fastest jet-propelled aircraft. The Blackbird's performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War.

 

This Blackbird accrued about 2,800 hours of flight time during 24 years of active service with the U.S. Air Force. On its last flight, March 6, 1990, Lt. Col. Ed Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph Vida set a speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 1 hour, 4 minutes, and 20 seconds, averaging 3,418 kilometers (2,124 miles) per hour. At the flight's conclusion, they landed at Washington-Dulles International Airport and turned the airplane over to the Smithsonian.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Vought F4U-1D Corsair :

 

By V-J Day, September 2, 1945, Corsair pilots had amassed an 11:1 kill ratio against enemy aircraft. The aircraft's distinctive inverted gull-wing design allowed ground clearance for the huge, three-bladed Hamilton Standard Hydromatic propeller, which spanned more than 4 meters (13 feet). The Pratt and Whitney R-2800 radial engine and Hydromatic propeller was the largest and one of the most powerful engine-propeller combinations ever flown on a fighter aircraft.

 

Charles Lindbergh flew bombing missions in a Corsair with Marine Air Group 31 against Japanese strongholds in the Pacific in 1944. This airplane is painted in the colors and markings of the Corsair Sun Setter, a Marine close-support fighter assigned to the USS Essex in July 1944.

American actress and singer Liza Minnelli (1946) became world famous for her impersonation of Sally Bowles in the film musical Cabaret (1972). She won an Oscar for her role, but during her long career, she also won an Emmy, a Grammy., a Golden Globe and several Tony awards. Through the years, she became a versatile interpreter of songs from the Great American Songbook. Songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb in particular formed the basis for some of her concert programmes and Minnelli starred in several of this duo's stage musicals, including 'Flora the Red Menace' (1965) and 'The Act' (1977/1978). Liza is the daughter of film legend Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli.

 

Liza May Minnelli was born in 1946 in Los Angeles, California. She was the daughter of Judy Garland and film director Vincente Minnelli. Her parents named her after Ira Gershwin's song 'Liza (All the Clouds Will Roll Away)'. She was practically raised at MGM studios while her parents worked long hours there and she made her film debut at fourteen months of age in the musical In the Good Old Summertime (Robert Z. Leonard, 1949). Her parents divorced in 1951 when Liza was only 5 years old. In 1952, her mother married Sidney Luft and in the following years, sister Lorna Luft and brother Joey Luft were born. Her father, Vincente Minnelli, later married Georgette Magnani, mother of her half-sister Christiane Nina "Tina Nina" Minnelli. Because Liza constantly travelled with her mother, she spent most of her childhood in hotels. She was the inspiration for the character Eloise, who grew up in the Plaza Hotel. The Eloise books were written by Liza's godmother, Kay Thompson. At sixteen, Liza was on her own in New York City, struggling to begin her career in show business. Her first recognition came for the play 'Best Foot Forward' which ran for seven months in 1963. A year later, Judy invited 18-year-old Liza to appear with her for a show at the London Palladium. This show sold out immediately and a second night was added to it. Liza's performance in London was a huge turning point in both her career and her relationship with her mother. The audience absolutely loved Liza and Judy realised that Liza was now an adult with her own career. It was at the Palladium that Liza met her first husband, Peter Allen, a friend of Judy's. Liza won a Tony award at age nineteen for 'Flora, the Red Menace' (1965). It marked the start of her lifelong collaboration with John Kander and Fred Ebb. They wrote, produced or directed many of Minnelli's future stage acts and television series and helped create her stage persona of a stylised survivor, and her anthems 'New York, New York', 'Cabaret', and 'Maybe This Time' This contributed to Minnelli's status as an enduring gay icon.

 

Liza Minnelli was nominated for her first Academy Award at age twenty-three for the acclaimed role of Pookie Adams in The Sterile Cuckoo (Alan J. Pakula, 1969). Other dramatic roles followed and, in 1972, she won an Oscar for her role as Sally Bowles in the musical Cabaret (Bob Fosse, 1972). The seventies were a busy time for Liza. She worked steadily in film, stage and music. Memorable films were her father's A Matter of Time (Vincente Minnelli, 1976) with Ingrid Bergman and New York, New York (Martin Scorsese, 1977) with Robert De Niro. The title song 'Theme from New York, New York', first sung by Minnelli, would become a big hit in Frank Sinatra's performance. Scorsese directed her again in 1977 in the Broadway musical 'The Act', for which she would receive her third Tony Award. She started focusing on stage performances and her singing career in later years. She often performed with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. At the time, she and her good friend Halston were regulars at Studio 54, the trendiest disco club in the world. She suffered three miscarriages during her third marriage to sculptor Mark Gero. The first occurred just a week after their wedding in December 1979. In the 1980s, she suffered from drug addictions and poor health. As a result, she had to undergo several operations, including on her hips and knees and spent time in rehab. Minnelli did not establish herself as a leading film star. Later films such as the thriller Rent-a-Cop (Jerry London, 1987) with Burt Reynolds and the musical comedy Stepping Out (Lewis Gilbert, 1991) with Julie Walters and Shelley Winters were not successful. Only the comedy Arthur (Steve Gordon, 1981) with Dudley Moore was a huge box-office hit. Minnelli married four times, to singer Peter Allen (1967-1974), film producer Jack Haley Jr. (1974 - 1979), sculptor Mark Gero (1979 - 1992) and concert promoter David Gest (2002-2003).

 

Over the past decades, Liza Minnelli's career has leaned more towards stage performances and she has a long list of musical albums which she continues to add to. She teamed with Frank Sinatra in his 'Duets' CD and Sammy Davis Jr. joined them for a series of concerts and TV shows which were extremely well-received. She has had to deal with tabloid stories of drug abuse and ill health and had a number of high-profile stays at drug rehabilitation clinics. Her hectic schedule slowed down in recent years, but she still has a large following of immensely loyal fans who continue to cheer her on. In 1990. Liza Minnelli received the Grammy Legend Award. It made her one of the few artists who have won American entertainment's top four awards - the Oscar, the Tony, the Emmy and the Grammy. She won the Tony twice, for 'Flora, the Red Menace' (1965) and 'The Act' (1977); an Oscar for Best Actress for Cabaret (1972); and an Emmy in 1973 for Liza with a Z (1972). In 1974, she also won a Special Tony Award "for adding lustre to the Broadway theatre season". In 2009, she was again awarded the Tony Award for her show, 'Liza's at the Palace' for Special Theatrical Presentation at the Palace Theatre in New York City. She was also nominated as Best Actress (Musical) in 1984 for 'The Rink', but lost that award to her co-star, Chita Rivera. Last but not least, Minnelli is a Knight of the French Legion of Honour.

Big East-German card by VEB Progress Film-Vertrieb, Berlin, no. 65/72,1972. Jack Lemmon and Judi West in The Fortune Cookie (Billy Wilder, 1966).

 

Versatile and beloved American actor Jack Lemmon (1925-2001) was a virtuoso in both comedy and drama. He initially acted on TV before moving to Hollywood, cultivating a career that would span decades. Lemmon starred in over 60 films including Some Like It Hot (1959), The Apartment (1960), Irma la Douce (1963), The Odd Couple (1968), Save the Tiger (1973) and Grumpy Old Men (1993). Some of his most beloved performances stemmed from his collaborations with acclaimed director Billy Wilder and with his fellow friend and actor Walter Matthau.

 

Jack Lemmon was born John Uhler Lemmon III in 1925, in an elevator at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. He was the only child of Mildred Lankford Noel and John Uhler Lemmon, Jr., the president of a doughnut company. He later described his flamboyant, authoritarian mother as 'Tallulah Bankhead on a roadshow.' He laughed about how she used to hang out with her girlfriends at the Ritz Bar in Boston and how she tried to have her cremation ashes placed on the bar (the management refused). Jack attended Ward Elementary near his Newton, MA home. At age 9 he was sent to Rivers Country Day School, then located in nearby Brookline. After RCDS, he went to high school at Phillips Andover Academy. Jack Lemmon attended Harvard, where he became president of the Hasty Pudding Club, the university's famous acting club. During WW II, he served in the Naval Reserve and was the communications officer aboard the aircraft carrier USS Lake Champlain CV-39. After serving as a Navy ensign, he worked in a beer hall playing the piano. Then, Lemmon followed his passion for theatre. His father didn't approve of his son taking up acting, but told him he should continue with it only as long as he felt passion for it. Soon, Jack landed small roles on radio, off-Broadway, TV and Broadway. In 1953, he was very successful on Broadway with 'Room Service', after which he went to Hollywood. He signed a contract with Columbia Pictures. His film debut was opposite Judy Holliday in the romantic comedy It Should Happen to You (George Cukor, 1954). He was loaned to Warner Bros. in 1955 for his fourth film. There, he had his breakthrough as Ensign Pulver in the war drama Mister Roberts (John Ford, Mervyn LeRoy, 1955) starring Henry Fonda and James Cagney. His complex portrayal of this somewhat dishonest but sensitive character earned him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Lemmon would go on to work on a number of films with comedian and close friend Ernie Kovacs, including Bell Book and Candle (Richard Quine, 1958) starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. In 1959, Lemmon gave one of the top comedic performances of his career when he starred alongside Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe in the romantic comedy Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder, 1959). He received an Oscar nomination for his role and he did the next year, for The Appartement (Billy Wilder, (1960) in which he co-starred with Shirley MacLaine. This led to several more collaborations with director Billy Wilder and great success on the big screen throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

 

Jack Lemmon also excelled in drama. He received an Oscar nomination for his role as an alcoholic in Days of Wine and Roses (Blake Edwards, 1962) and later followed more nominations for the dramas The China Syndrome (James Bridges, 1979), Tribute (Bob Clark, 1980) and Missing (Costa-Gravas, 1982). Kyle Perez at IMDb: "Sometimes referred to as "America's Everyman", Lemmon's versatility as an actor helped the audience more closely identify and relate to him. He was able always to elicit a laugh or sympathy from his viewers and his charismatic presence always shined on the big screen. He often portrayed the quintessence of an aspiring man and established a lasting impression on the film industry." Lemmon reunited with Shirley MacLaine in another Wilder film, Irma la Douce (Billy Wilder, 1963). It was one of the biggest commercial successes for the trio. The Fortune Cookie (Billy Wilder, 1966) served as the start of a comedic partnership between Lemmon and Walter Matthau and the two would come together again, two years later, for The Odd Couple (Gene Saks, 1968), based on a play by Neil Simon. It is one of their most endearing films together. As the 1970s came around, Lemmon began to undertake more dramatic roles and won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Harry Stoner in Save the Tiger (John G. Avildsen, 1973). Lemmon admitted to having had a serious drinking problem at one time, which is one reason he looked back on his Oscar-winning role as perhaps the most gratifying, emotionally fulfilling performance of his career. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Lemmon continued to excel in his character performances and earned the Cannes Best Actor award for The China Syndrome (James Bridges, 1979) and Missing (Costa-Gravas, 1982). As a director, he made his film debut with Kotch (Jack Lemmon, 1971) and his Broadway debut with Eugene O'Neill's 'Long Day's Journey into Night'. In 1988 he received the Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute. In the 1990s, he continued to have success with roles in films such as Glengarry Glen Ross (James Foley, 1992) and Short Cuts (Robert Altman, 1993). In the comedy Grumpy Old Men (Donald Petrie, 1993), he was reunited with Walter Matthau. The film was a huge success, and a sequel was even released in 1995. A sequel to The Odd Couple was also released in 1998. In 1997, he received a Golden Globe nomination for the television adaptation of 12 Angry Men (William Friedkin, 1997). Lemmon was married twice, first to actress Cynthia Stone (1950-1956) and his second marriage to actress Felicia Farr lasted from 1972 till his death. Jack Lemmon passed away in 2001 in Los Angeles at the age of 76. He had two children, Chris Lemmon (1954) and Courtney Lemmon (1966). Actress Sydney Lemmon is his granddaughter.

This little beauty kept distracting me from the waves at Porthcurno. About time i got back to The Dictionary of Image

 

“BETHPAGE, NEW YORK: This is a Manned Spacecraft Center artist’s concept of a multi-use workhorse space vehicle. Called a reusable tug, this highly versatile vehicle can be flown either manned or unmanned. It can be designed to operate around earth, or at the moon in support of interplanetary missions. The tug shown in this concept is approximately five stories high. It serves as a lunar base for scientific personnel who are conducting exploration of the moon.”

 

Of the myriad of space tug proposals & designs I’ve seen, outwardly, this is the most blatantly ‘simple’, and based on the press slug, possibly put forth by Grumman. It appears to be an Apollo Service Module mated to an Apollo Lunar Module descent stage.

Pretty expedient, gut the innards of the SM, make it a livable space, add windows, a mini-high-gain antenna, modify the contents of the descent stage quadrants, add another descent propulsion system engine - and BAM - orbed maiden here we come!

 

The Astronauts on the left appear to be investigating a Surveyor-type lander in the background, and an ALSEP-like scientific station is visible to the right.

 

If indeed a Grumman-originated/produced concept and it being loosely LM-‘derived’...from 1970, there's a chance it's by Craig Kavafes.

 

Lots of good space tug info & photos:

Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet."

 

Dr. E would go on to heal the blind with his NSF-funded, award-winning Ph.D. dissertation which also laid down the foundations of Light Time Dimension Theory. Over the years, LTD Theory added foundational *physical* postulates, principles, and equations en route to becoming numerous books, with this one forming the simple, illustrated introduction. My fine art photography (writing with light) graces the books!

Ukrainian postcard by Magicard.biz.ua. Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada (David Frankel, 2006).

 

American actress Meryl Streep (1949) is one of the best actresses of her generation, known for her versatility and accents.She has been nominated for the Oscar an astonishing 21 times, and has won it three times. Among her other accolades, she has received 32 Golden Globe nominations, more than any other person, and won eight.

 

Mary Louise 'Meryl' Streep was born in 1949, in Summit, New Jersey. She is the daughter of Mary Wilkinson Streep (née Mary Wolf Wilkinson), a commercial artist and art editor; and Harry William Streep, Jr., a pharmaceutical executive. She has two younger brothers: Harry William Streep III and Dana David Streep, who are also actors. At the age of 12, Streep was selected to sing at a school recital, leading to her having opera lessons from Estelle Liebling. She quit after four years. Although Streep appeared in numerous school plays during her high school years, she was uninterested in serious theatre until acting in the play Miss Julie at Vassar College in 1969, in which she gained attention across the campus. She received her B.A. cum laude from the college in 1971, before applying for an MFA from the Yale School of Drama. Streep played a variety of roles on stage, from Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream to an 80-year-old woman in a wheelchair in a comedy written by then-unknown playwrights Christopher Durang and Albert Innaurato. She received her MFA from Yale in 1975. That year, Streep made her stage debut in New York in Trelawny of the Wells by Arthur Wing Pinero. The following year, she received a Tony Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Play for appearing in the 1976 double bill of '27 Wagons Full of Cotton' by Tennessee Williams and 'A Memory of Two Mondays' by Arthur Miller. She made her screen debut in the television film The Deadliest Season (Robert Markowitz, 1977), a sports drama with Michael Moriarty. Her film debut was the award-winning Holocaust drama Julia (Fred Zinnemann, 1977), starring Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave. It is based on a chapter from Lillian Hellman's book Pentimento about the author's relationship with a lifelong friend, 'Julia,' who fought against the Nazis in the years prior to World War II. Streep had a small role during a flashback sequence. She received her first Oscar nomination for the epic war drama The Deer Hunter (Michael Cimino, 1978). Critic Pauline Kael remarked that she was a "real beauty" who brought much freshness to the film with her performance. The film, starring Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken, was also successful at the box office, grossing $49 million. She also won an Emmy Award for her role in the miniseries Holocaust (Marvin J. Chomsky, 1978), which recounts the trajectory of the Holocaust from the perspectives of the fictional Weiss family of German Jews and that of a rising member of the SS (Michael Moriarty), who gradually becomes a merciless war criminal. Streep travelled to Germany and Austria for filming while her partner, actor John Cazale, who had been diagnosed with lung cancer, remained in New York. Upon her return, Streep found that Cazale's illness had progressed, and she nursed him until his death in March 1978. Streep starred opposite Dustin Hoffman in the legal drama Kramer vs. Kramer (Robert Benton, 1979). It tells the story of a couple's (Streep and Dustin Hoffmann) divorce, its impact on their young son (Justin Henry), and the subsequent evolution of their relationship and views on parenting. For Kramer vs. Kramer, Streep won both the Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, which she famously left in the ladies' room after giving her speech.

 

Meryl Streep's first leading role was in the British romantic drama The French Lieutenant's Woman (Karel Reisz, 1981), a story within a story drama. The film paired Streep with Jeremy Irons as contemporary actors, telling their modern story, as well as the Victorian era drama they were performing. She got an Oscar nomination for her performance. Streep won the Oscar for Best Actress for Sophie's Choice (Alan J. Pakula, 1982). Streep was very determined to get the role. After obtaining a bootlegged copy of the script, she went after Pakula, and threw herself on the ground, begging him to give her the part. She portrayed a Polish survivor of Auschwitz, caught in a love triangle between a young naïve writer (Peter MacNicol) and a Jewish intellectual (Kevin Kline). Janet Maslin of The New York Times wrote: "Though it's far from a flawless movie, 'Sophie's Choice' is a unified and deeply affecting one. Thanks in large part to Miss Streep's bravura performance, it's a film that casts a powerful, uninterrupted spell." In 1983, Streep played her first non-fictional character, the nuclear whistleblower and labor union activist Karen Silkwood, who died in a suspicious car accident while investigating alleged wrongdoing at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant, in Mike Nichols' biographical drama Silkwood (Mike Nichols, 1983) with Cher. Then she portrayed a fighter for the French Resistance during World War II in the British drama Plenty (Fred Schepisi, 1985), adapted from the play by David Hare. Her next release, the epic romantic drama Out of Africa (Sydney Pollack, 1985), established her as a Hollywood superstar. In the film, Streep starred as the Danish writer Karen Blixen, opposite Robert Redford's Denys Finch Hatton. It earned her another Oscar nomination. Karina Longworth notes in 'Meryl Streep: Anatomy of an Actor' (2013) that the dramatic success of Out of Africa led to a backlash of critical opinion against Streep in the years that followed, especially as she was now demanding $4 million a picture. Unlike other stars at the time, such as Sylvester Stallone and Tom Cruise, Streep "never seemed to play herself", and certain critics felt her technical finesse led people to literally see her acting.

 

Meryl Streep's other Oscar-nominated roles were in Ironweed (Héctor Babenco, 1987) with Jack Nicholson, the Australian drama Evil Angels/A Cry in the Dark (Fred Schepisi, 1988), the comedy-drama Postcards from the Edge (Mike Nichols, 1990) with Shirley MacLaine, the romantic drama The Bridges of Madison County (Clint Eastwood, 1995), One True Thing (Carl Franklin, 1998) with Renee Zellweger, the musical drama Music of the Heart (Wes Craven, 1999), Adaptation (Spike Jonze, 2002) starring Nicholas Cage, the comedy-drama The Devil Wears Prada (David Frankel, 2006) with Anne Hathaway, the period drama Doubt (John Patrick Shanley, 2008), the comedy-drama Julie & Julia (Nora Ephron, 2009) with Amy Adams, August: Osage County (John Wells, 2013) with Julia Roberts, the musical fantasy Into the Woods (Rob Marshall, 2014), the biographical comedy-drama Florence Foster Jenkins (Stephen Frears, 2016) with Hugh Grant, and the historical political thriller The Post (Steven Spielberg, 2017), starring Tom Hanks. Streep won the Best Actress Oscar again for The Iron Lady (Phyllida Lloyd, 2011), the British-French biographical drama based on the life and career of Margaret Thatcher. While the film was met with mixed reviews, Streep's performance was widely acclaimed, and considered to be one of the greatest of her career. Her stage roles include The Public Theater's 2001 revival of 'The Seagull', and her television roles include two projects for HBO, the acclaimed miniseries Angels in America (2003), for which her performance won her another Emmy Award, and the drama series Big Little Lies (2019). Streep has also been the recipient of many honorary awards. She was awarded Commander of the Order of the Arts and Letters by French culture minister Jean-Jacques Aillagon in 2003. In the cinema, she appeared as Emmeline Pankhurst, a British political activist and leader of the British suffragette movement who helped women win the right to vote in the period drama Suffragette (Sarah Gavron, 2015), co-starring Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter. Streep reprised the role of Donna Sheridan in the musical sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (Ol Parker, 2018). She also played a supporting part in Mary Poppins Returns (Rob Marshall, ), starring Emily Blunt in the title role. In 2019, she starred in the biographical comedy The Laundromat (Steven Soderberg, 2019), the first Netflix film in which Streep starred. The film focused on the Panama Papers in particular and Beneficial ownership in general. Streep was whistleblower John Doe who released incriminating documents to the media. In addition, she played Aunt March in Little Women (Greta Gerwig, 2019). Despite her stardom, for decades Streep has managed to maintain a relatively normal personal life. Streep lived with actor John Cazale for three years until his death from lung cancer in March 1978. Streep married sculptor Don Gummer six months after Cazale's death. They have four children: one son and three daughters, son Henry Wolfe Gummer (1979), a musician; daughters Mary Willa 'Mamie' Gummer (1983), an actress; Grace Jane Gummer (1986), an actress; and Louisa Jacobson Gummer (1991), a model. In February 2019, Streep became a grandmother for the first time, through her eldest daughter Mamie.

Since its retiral from front-line service in the summer of 2009, Lothian Buses' Olympian 285 has become something of a celebrity amongst the Edinburgh enthusiast fraternity. Its official status is a special events vehicle, which sees it brought out for the likes of the annual SVBM Open Weekend, Doors Open Days, and ETG evening trips.

 

However, it also has another status, as the spare vehicle for the Bus & Boat Tour which operates during the summer season. On the morning of 2nd July 2011 Olympian 433, the regular Bus & Boat Tour vehicle, failed at South Queensferry whilst working the tour, and was replaced for that run by 285. 433 managed to make it back to Edinburgh after repairs and was noted working the 1415 Bus & Boat Tour departure, but it was decided to keep 285 on standby at Waverley Bridge for the rest of the day, in case 433 failed again.

 

This fine vehicle is seen catching the sun on Waverley Bridge, with the Balmoral Hotel forming part of the backdrop. The hotel's clock is traditionally kept two minutes fast for the benefit of passengers heading for Waverley Station. On Hogmanay, though, the clock is put to the correct time for the "bells", after which it is put 2 mins fast again.

 

285's presence raised a lot of eyebrows amongst the Edinburgh Bus Tours staff, although the tourists passing by didn't seem to take much notice of it! Nonetheless, it was a delight to see a real madder and white bus back on the streets of Edinburgh - if only for an afternoon.

 

The eagle-eyed amongst you may notice some evidence of 285's use on the June 2011 ETG evening trip still visible in its nearside windscreen!

 

EDIT: David Wilson aka VV773 has provided some addtional information about how 285 was called into use. See below.

A bridge of the River Sprey - Craigellachie Bridge

So, here I am, just vibing on a shelf like it’s the most natural thing in the world. Let’s be real – this whole outfit is a whole mood. The tank top says exactly what we’re all secretly thinking: “I’m just WTF-ing my way through life.” And honestly? Same.

 

Some days, all you can do is throw on something comfy, strike a pose, and let the chaos roll off your shoulders. I paired the top with these ultra-comfy ribbed white pants that give just the right amount of cozy without sacrificing style. And yes, the sneakers provide a casual goddess who might run from her problems, but at least looks good doing it.

 

I love this vibe because it’s effortless, authentic, and just a little cheeky. The calm, homey backdrop makes it feel like I’m the main character in a sitcom about surviving adulthood one “WTF” at a time – and spoiler alert: I’m nailing the role.

 

Whether you’re conquering the world or just trying not to scream into the void today, remember we’re all figuring it out as we go. So why not do it in style?

 

Stay bold,

Ivanna 💋
