Tibetan dogs are divided into 4 breeds: the Lhasa Apso, the Tibetan terrier, the Tibetan spaniel and the Shih Tzu.
Its nickname "lion dog" is linked to a legend, according to which this canine breed had close links with the snow lion, which in Tibet is a symbol of well-being.
In the sixteenth century, the first Shih Tzu were introduced into China, thus sharing with the Pekingese, the favors of the imperial court. In the nineteenth century, the Shih Tzu became the favorite breed of Empress Dowager Cixi.
A breeding of a hundred dogs was then established in the Forbidden City. The Shih Tzu would be the result of a cross between Lhassa Apso and small Chinese dogs.
When the Empress died in 1908 and with the fall of the Empire, the Shih Tzu left the Forbidden City and disappeared from the Middle Empire. In 1928, three dogs were exported to Great Britain, mainly by Lady Brownrigg, wife of General Douglas Brownrigg, who thus initiated the breeding in Europe. In 1933, she exhibited her dogs in the category of "Tibetan dogs" but quickly characteristics specific to the breed emerged to become a category in its own right.
Thus, in 1934, the lhasa apso and the shih tzu were differentiated and exhibited separately. In 1940, the breed was officially recognized by the English Kennel Club. In France, the breed was introduced by the Countess of Anjou on her return from China where her husband was a diplomat in 1946. The breed was formalized in 1953 at the LOF of the central canine society.
Les chiens tibétains sont répartis en 4 races soit le Lhassa Apso, le terrier tibétain, l'épagneul tibétain et le shih tzu.
Son surnom "chien lion" est lié à une légende, selon laquelle cette race canine entretenait des liens étroits avec le lion des neiges, qui, au Tibet, est symbole du bien-être. Au xvie siècle, les premiers shih tzu sont introduits en Chine, partageant ainsi avec le pékinois, les faveurs de la cour impériale.
Au xix siècle, le shih tzu devient la race préférée de l'impératrice douairière Cixi .Un élevage d'une centaine de chiens de différentes races est alors installé dans la Cité interdite. Le shih tzu serait issu d'un croisement entre des Lhassa Apso et des petits chiens chinois.
À la mort de l'impératrice en 1908 et avec la chute de l'empire, les shih tzu sortirent de la Cité interdite et disparurent de l'empire du Milieu. En 1928, trois chiens furent exportés vers la Grande-Bretagne, principalement par Lady Brownrigg, épouse du Britannique General Douglas Brownrigg, qui a initié ainsi l'élevage de la race en Europe. En 1933, elle exposa ses chiens dans la catégorie des "chiens tibétains" mais rapidement des caractéristiques propres à la race se sont imposées pour devenir une catégorie à part entière. Ainsi, en 1934, le lhassa apso et le shih tzu furent différenciés et exposés séparément.
En 1940, la race fut reconnue officiellement par le Kennel Club anglais .
En France, la race fut introduite par la comtesse d'Anjou de son retour de Chine où son époux était diplomate en 1946. La race fut officialisée en 1953 au LOF de la société centrale canine.
Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. The multi-building complex opened between 1963 and 1967 and occupies almost an entire city block on State Street on the north bank of the Chicago River on the Near North Side, directly across from the Loop. Portions of the complex were designated a Chicago Landmark in 2016.
The complex consists of two 587-foot (179 m), 65-story apartment towers, opened in 1963, which include physical plant penthouses. It also includes a 10-story office building (now a hotel) opened in 1964, and a saddle-shaped auditorium building originally used as a cinema. The four buildings, access driveways, and a small plaza that originally included an ice rink are built on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name.

The Great Laxey Wheel, also known affectionately as Lady Isabella is located in the picturesque village of Laxey on the east coast of the Isle of Man, and it is celebrated as the largest surviving original working waterwheel in the world.
Completed in 1854, the wheel was designed by local Manx engineer Robert Casement. It stands an impressive 22.1 metres in diameter and spans 1.8 metres in width. The industrial complex was constructed to pump water out of the deep, flood-prone shafts of the Great Laxey Mines, which at their peak produced rich deposits of lead, zinc, silver, and copper. Powered entirely by natural rainwater gathered from the surrounding hills, it rotates at a steady pace of about 3 revolutions per minute. At its peak operational capacity, it could draw an astonishing 1,137 litres of water per minute from nearly 450 metres below ground. It was christened "Lady Isabella" in honour of the wife of the Honourable Charles Hope, who served as the Island's Lieutenant Governor during its construction.
Today, the entire site is proudly preserved and operated by Manx National Heritage. Visitors can scale the 95 spiral steps winding up the white stone tower to reach the top viewing platform. From there, you are treated to breath-taking panoramic iews across the Glen Mooar Valley. Beyond marvelling at the colossal wheel in motion, you can explore the surrounding Mines Trail, see the historic T-rocker system, walk into a real old mine adit (underground tunnel), and see the old Great Laxey Mine Railway.
Jaisalmer, affectionately known as "the Golden City," is nestled right in the middle of the stunning Thar Desert.

The streets of Jaisalmer hide small treasures everywhere, offering a fairytale-like sight, just like here in this grand gate, where the light of an elegant chandelier gilds the lobed arcade. An entrance imbued with a special charm.

R.I.P Little Babs
Little Babs was a widow. She was affectionately known as Little Babs as the dear lady was only 4 foot tall. I met her several times over the years and she held an awsome enthusiasm for life and people. Even though she was far from young she danced most of the night and loved being with people. This is Babs giving out free lollypops as the singer was singing "Lollypop". Sadly Little Babs health declined and failed during the pandemics lockdown in Turkey and she passed away very recently. She did not have the virus, she was not happy being alone and confined to her home.
The Wellenweber Antenna, affectionately called "The Elephant Cage" by the troops.
Wikipedia: The Wullenweber (the original name introduced by Dr. Hans Rindfleisch was Wullenwever) is a type of Circularly Disposed Antenna Array (CDAA) sometimes referred to as a Circularly Disposed Dipole Array (CDDA). It is a large circular antenna array used for radio direction finding. It was used by the military to triangulate radio signals for radio navigation, intelligence gathering and search and rescue. Because its huge circular reflecting screen looks like a circular fence, the antenna has been colloquially referred to as the elephant cage. The term wullenwever was the World War II German cover term used to identify their secret CDAA research and development program; its name is unrelated to any person involved in the program.

Like any Labrador, he is energetic and fun to be around, but at the same time, he is also affectionate and gentle with his family, which is why he makes such a great family pet.
