As the result of the archaeological excavations that started in Bergama in 1878 under the direction of Carl Humman and Alexander Conze, a depot museum has been constructed near the German Excavation House of today during the excavations made in the acropolis between the years 1900 - 1913. This depot is one of the two archaeological opus depots that existed in Turkey at that time. The excavations in Bergama, which were interrupted because of the 1st World War, were re - started under the direction of Theodor Wiegand. In the same year, with the start of the excavations in Asklepieion in addition to the acropolis excavations, the number of opuses has increased and a new museum building was needed.
Marshall Fevzi Çakmak, who came to Bergama in 1932 has closely interested with the issue and ordered the foundation of a new museum after his visit. For the new building that was planned to be constructed with Turkish - German cooperation, the location of today which is an old cemetrey has been found appropriate. The project that was prepared by the architects Bruno Meyer and Harold Hanson was completed at the end of 1932 and the works for base excavation were started in 1933 with the formal request of the governor of İzmir, Kazım Dirik. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who visited Asklepieion, which was a health centre, during his visit to Bergama on April 13th 1934, has seen that the construction of the museum building was continuing.
Bergama museum, whose construction has been completed, was opened for visit on October 30th 1936 by the governor of İzmir, Fazlı Güleç. The museum building consisted of a large rectangular courtyard surrounded with galleries, and a rectangular exhibition hall behind this courtyard. Since the galleries of the courtyard were suitable for open - air museum, the opuses were exhibited there. When Ethnography and Archaeology Museum was taken into operation in Bergama Public House building in 1924, the archaeological opuses were taken to the new museum building. The ethnographic opuses were taken into the museum building of today in 1979 after the construction of the additional building. The additional building has a rectangular plan placed beside the part, in which the courtyard and exhibition hall exist, its entrance is provided via a door opening from the courtyard to the hall. Units such as depot, laboratory, photograph room, archive have been added to the other side of the museum which was left empty and to its rear part.
Most of the archaeological opuses in the museum, which belong to various periods from early bronze era to the Byzantine Period, have been found in the excavations made in Bergama and its surrounding. Among the finds found in the archaic residences around, samples belonging to Pergfamon sculpture school, Archaic Period finds coming from Pitane and Gryneion, Myrina terracotta draw attention. In the ethnography section, carpets, kilims of the region (Yuntdağ, Yağcıbedir, Kozak, Bergama weavings), cloth weaving samples, hand works and other hand made opuses belonging to other regions of Anatolia are exhibited

Continuing our discussion with Mahmoud:
One of the greatest cultural shocks Mahmoud experienced when coming to Denmark, besides the weather, was the public’s open scrutiny of the government. In Syria, political discussion was taboo. In addition to being dangerous, it wasn’t considered the public’s responsibility.
Continuing the set, although was cut short when I remembered I had not yet set up Holly's body to my liking, and it went too floppy, and I also ran out of camera battery.... always something, but atleast the lighting worked the whole set.
Crowds fill the streets of Washington as protests over the killing of George Floyd continue around the country. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. During an arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white American police officer, kept his knee on the side of Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down. During the last three minutes, Floyd was motionless. After Floyd's death, demonstrations and protests against racism and police brutality were held across the US and the world, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the movement and gathering restrictions put in place by governments to prevent the spread of the coronavirus
On Thursday, February 5, 2015 the BABC hosted Theatre Night with member company Inis Nua, The Off-Broad Street Theatre at the First Baptist Church on Sansom Street in Philadelphia. The house was full, barely an empty seat in the 80 person theater, for the final preview of the US premier of the Scottish show, Long Live the Little Knife. Howard Silverstone, BABC Board President welcomed attendees and introduced Tom Reing, Founder and Artistic Director of Inis Nua Theatre.
Translated from the Irish language, Inis Nua means “New Island.” The theater company’s mission is to produce contemporary, provocative plays from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales which reflect those cultures’ new identities in today’s world. The organization seeks to cultivate and produce contemporary, provocative work from American playwrights who deal with the Anglo, Scottish, Irish and Welsh-American experiences. Inis Nua opened in 2004, and has most recently received numerous “Outstanding” awards for: Overall Production of a Musical; Direction of a Musical; Leading Actress in a Musical, and Music Direction; as well as the June and Steve Wolfson Award for an “Evolving Theatre Company” given at 2014 Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theater.
Beginning with one play per year, Tom and his theater company worked up to full seasons which gained and continue to gain national and international attention. Tom’s favorite part of the role is to travel and create and sustain those connections, identifying talented playwrights from here and across the Atlantic. Tom takes great pride in selecting the right show to produce. He provides talented, still rather unknown playwrights who show a lot of potential the opportunity to showcase their artistry. Inis Nua’s productions provide intrigue at every turn.
More than 25 people joined the BABC for dinner and drinks catered by the Victoria Freehouse before the show began. We had the privilege of meeting Long Live the Little Knife writer, David Leddy, and speaking with him before and after the performance.
Long Live the Little Knife is a tale of trickery and double-cross where a husband and wife set out to become the world’s greatest art forgers. The theater, including audience seats are draped in paint splattered canvas. The stage set encompasses the entire auditorium and audience members feel at times, nearly too close to the action. The play quickly leads you through the adventures of two married con artists Liz (Corinna Burns) and Jim (Tim Dugan) who begin by selling knock-off hand bags and move on to forge famous paintings. Several other felonious themes permeate the fast paced dialogue. The show abruptly ends leaving audiences truly shocked.
Following the production BABC members met and toasted the actors, the writer and producer. This post show party provided our group with the unique opportunity to discuss the genesis of the polemic topics presented. Long Live the Little Knife succeeds in breaking down the barriers often erected to protect the mainstream from deep seeded, underworld issues.
Long Live the Little Knife runs through February 22, 2015 at The Inis Nua Theatre at Off-Broad Street Theater, 1636 Sansom Street. Tickets $25-30. For information contact Inis Nua: 215-454-9776 or www.inisnuatheatre.org.

University City Townhomes Residents React to Legal Settlement Between City, Altman Management
Residents continue to demand a “Right to Return,” participation in any future development and deeply affordable housing
Philadelphia: After a two-year struggle, in which residents of “The People’s” Townhomes fought back against plans to displace one of the few remaining, predominantly Black, affordable housing developments in that area of West Philadelphia, the City and property owners, Altman Management/IBID settled an ongoing lawsuit over the property. The agreement, that stems from the lawsuit filed by Altman Co/IBID against the City, includes:
Partial preservation of the site for “Affordable Housing” and demolition of the existing site
Some level of compensation for residents who were—and are—being forced to relocate
Today’s settlement was shaped in part by over two years of Townhomes Residents fighting back to demand the City and local universities hold large developers accountable to increasing displacement throughout the city.
There was a resident-led Press Event on Friday, April 21, 4pm at 40th and Market St. in West Philadelphia to announce next steps. It included a march into surrounding streets with banners, signs and chants before ending backat 40th and Market.
Residents see today’s settlement agreement as falling far short of the solutions to address the individual needs of families and seniors being pushed out of the Townhomes and that of the City’s growing affordable housing crisis. The deal sets aside just over 19% of the current site for affordable housing and does not specifically address residents “right to return” or direct involvement in the future development of the property. Additionally, the settlement’s current “affordability” terms, which target tenants with incomes at 60% to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI), do not meet the affordability needs of seniors and families currently living at and around the site. Residents have continued to demand that the site prioritizes housing for families on fixed incomes at 30% AMI or lower.
“We must have a written commitment from the City that guarantees a ‘Right to Return’ with a housing subsidy for current and former residents and a commitment to work with the residents on the redevelopment of the preserved site” said Rasheda Alexander, a resident and member of the UC Townhomes Resident Council.
While this settlement–which residents were not a party to–is an important step in recognizing the importance of preserving affordable housing, there is a significant amount of work left to do to ensure meaningful preservation and reduce the harms of displacement. Residents have worked hard over the last two years to plan for a comprehensive vision of what resident-centered preservation is and are still prepared to work collaboratively with the City to bring this vision into existence.
Residents expect the City to fulfill its assurances–made to residents- to protect seniors and families by partnering to make sure any future development includes:
A written framework and process for a “Right to Return” for residents to any future development at the site, especially for residents with disabilities and homebound seniors
A subsidy attached to the future development that ensures tenants pay no more than 30% of their income in rent and utilities
Inclusion of residents in the redevelopment process for the future site
Accessibility for seniors, residents with disabilities and homehound residents
A future design that includes support for inter-generational living in unit sizes and building layout
Inclusion of community spaces for residents and young people
While residents see today’s settlement agreement as falling short of addressing their individual needs and the growing lack of deeply affordable housing, we realize this agreement would not have happened if it weren’t for residents and advocates standing up and pushing back to hold developers accountable. Residents will also continue to call upon the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University to address the displacement of historically Black communities by contributing funds toward this future development and other sites in the area.
“We said last year that we’re not going anywhere and we’ll continue to fight to make sure any future site includes deeply affordable housing for very low income seniors and families” -Darlene Foreman, UC Townhomes resident and Resident Council member.

Work, weather and the almost endless possibilities for other photographs mean that I can not hope to provide more than the occasional update at Eastleigh. The works site continues to accommodate First buses and it was, perhaps, a little surprising that some of those present today were already there on 26 December 2013 (earlier in my photostream). Nevertheless, to be thorough, I have produced multiple views of the latest line up.

Man in a 'Captain America' costume making a hand gesture whilst attending the Tea Party Patriots' 'Continuing Revolution' protest on Capitol Hill. Protesters in overwrought Americana-themed costumes appear to be the right-wing's answer to the left-wing's tradition of using giant papier-mâché puppets at protests. Both trends are pretty stupid and point to the continued infantilizing of American politics.

"Soapy's last words were "My God, don't shoot!"[37] A letter from Samuel Steele, the head of the Canadian Mounties at the time, indicates that another guard, Jesse Murphy, may have fired the fatal shot.[38] Soapy died on the spot with a bullet to the heart. He also received a bullet in his left leg and a severe wound on the left arm by the elbow. Reid died 12 days later with a bullet in his leg and groin area. The three gang members who robbed Stewart received jail sentences.
Soapy Smith was buried several yards outside the city cemetery. Due to the way Smith's legend has grown, every year on 8 July, wakes are held around the United States in Soapy's honor.[39] His grave and saloon are on most tour itineraries of Skagway."

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

I was carrying two cameras around my neck. This was the other, the 35mm. "He's a photographer", said the girl in the foreground, in a gratifyingly awestruck voice, probably mistaking me, in one of those wild misunderstandings of childhood, for a newspaperman. Yeah right. With my 60 year-old Soviet-era folding camera in its felt-lined leather case, and my ancient Pentax SLR. But how could a child know about these distinctions?
A trained observer, I moved unobtrusively among these ordinary people. Gawping at the gawpers. How could these plain folk ...foreigners at that... be expected to know that Fray Bentos, Flickr's great Jeremiah, moved among them? I did look out to sea but couldn't see anything much. A couple of heads bobbed in the water. It was like one of those live outside broadcasts, where you wait for hours for a ten-second glimpse of some newsworthy personage or other. I took a few snaps and left.
Continuing my ad hoc theme of looking up, I love high rise buildings disappearing into the sky...

I traveled by this EMU, which malfunctioned at Warszawa Rakowiec station for about 18 minutes because of the gas compressor freezing due to a cold today in Warsaw (some -7 deg.Celsius). Fortunately the engineer managed to melt down the compressor by burning an old rag attached to a wooden pole, so the ride could continue. As you can see, it's very easy to repair the EN57 EMUs even in the field.

The Silurian Summer continues…Meet the third and final Fossil Invertebrates Intern!
Liza is a recent graduate from the University of Chicago with a B.S. in Geophysical Sciences. In her senior year, she wrote an honors thesis on Cambrian trilobite fossils with the help of UChicago's trilobite expert, Professor Mark Webster. Liza has never worked at the Field Museum before this internship, but she loves it more and more every day. She's very excited to be helping develop the Silurian reef fossil database with Paul Mayer on the IMLS grant. It'll be nice to take these fossils--some of which have been sitting in storage drawers for decades--and make them publicly available (in the name of science!). She has chosen to begin with the gastropods.
She tries to bike to and from work every day but the recent rain has prevented this from being a reality. You can find her re-reading The Lost World (the lesser-known sequel to Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park), scoping out farmers' markets, knitting, singing, cooking, or exploring the city.
In the photo, Liza is holding a replica of a Silurian Eurypterid fossil, Mixopterus kiaeri, that lived in the shallow water tidal flats that covered Norway 420 million years ago. Eurypterids, sometimes called sea scorpions, are arthropods related to arachnids and horseshoe crabs. Eurypterids went extinct 250 million years ago in the End-Permian Mass Extinction event.

Trip to Alaska. Helicopter Tour. Mendenhall Glacier. Juneau. Jul/2016
Mendenhall Glacier is a glacier about 13.6 miles long located in Mendenhall Valley, about 12 miles (19 km) from downtownJuneau in the southeast area of the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] The glacier and surrounding landscape is protected as the 5,815-acre Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area, a federally designated unit of the Tongass National Forest.[3]
The Juneau Icefield Research Program has monitored the outlet glaciers of the Juneau Icefield since 1942, including Mendenhall Glacier. The glacier has also retreated 1.75 miles (2.82 km) since 1958, when Mendenhall Lake was created, and over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) since 1500. The end of the glacier currently has a negative glacier mass balance and will continue to retreat in the foreseeable future.[4]
Given that average yearly temperatures are currently increasing, and the outlook is for this trend to continue, it is actually possible that the glacier might experience a period of stabilization or slight advance during its retreating march. This is because increasing amounts of warm, moist air will be carried up to the head of the icefield, where colder ambient temperatures will cause it to precipitate as snow. The increased amount of snow will feed the icefield, possibly enough to offset the continually increasing melting experienced at the glacier's terminus. However, this interesting phenomenon will fade away if temperatures continue to climb, since the head of the glacier will no longer have cold enough ambient temperatures to cause snow to precipitate.

O glaciar (ou Geleira) Mendenhall é um glaciar/geleira com aproximadamente 19 km de comprimento situado no vale de Mendenhall a aproximadamente 19 km de Juneau, Alasca, nos Estados Unidos.
Originalmente conhecido como Sitaantaagu ("o glaciar por detrás da vila") ou Aak'wtaaksit ("o glaciar por detrás do pequeno lago") pelos tlingits, o glaciar (ou geleira) foi baptizado glaciar Auke pelo naturalista John Muir em 1879. Foi rebaptizado em 1892 em honra de Thomas Corwin Mendenhall, superintendente do U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey entre 1889 e 1894. Estende-se desde o campo de gelo de Juneau, a sua origem, até ao lago Mendenhall.
O Juneau Icefield Research Program estuda os glaciares (ou geleiras) de descarga do campo de gelo de Juneau desde 1946. Entre 1948 e 2005 o ponto terminal do glaciar (geleira), que flui através dos subúrbios de Juneau, recuou 580 metros. Desde 1910, ano da criação do lago Mendenhall, o glaciar recuou 2,8 km e recuou 4,0 km desde 1700. Actualmente apresenta balanço de massa negativo e deverá continuar a recuar no futuro próximo.
O glaciar (or geleira) Mendenhall está incluído na Floresta Nacional de Tongass.

Continuing on with my backlog, we take a quick look at the Tracer Nendoroid, which was purchased for $10 during the EB Game year end clearance event.
I'm not sure when it happened, but somewhere after Tracer was released, Nendoroids went to a smaller box, which quite honestly was too bit to begin with. The old boxes are probably about the same depth, but 2 inches smaller in every other direction.
Tracer is a character from the Overwatch game, specializing in speed and general mobility through motion and short distance teleportation - she's also the official mascot of the IP. I picked up the Figma back in November while wandering the mean streets of Vancouver, so it was nice to get the Nendoroid to complement her. Tracer is built on the action figure Nendoroid body, which of course means articulated knees, hips, mid torso, shoulders, elbows with swivel, rotating wrists, and head. In addition to these standard features, Tracer also features articulated ankles to allow for more natural looking jumping and running poses. There is also one point of articulation on ones strand of hair on the front of the head.
Contents of the box include the figure, three total expressions (neutral, happy, sad), her twin pistols, Pulse Bomb, two additional pair of weapon gripping hands, a bent leg (yes.. ONE single bent leg), a teleporting effect, and the standard Nendoroid stand.
Quality of the paint is your typical Good Smile Company output, which of course means very solid effort.. normally. Tracer's paint isn't bad overall, there are definitely areas where some of the weakest paint apps I've ever seen on a Nendoroid. The various metallic colours on her chest and back are OK, but the white paint applications on her back are definitely mess, and seem almost like they were done freehand with no proper masking. Naturally, work on the face and hair are solid, as are the decals on the shoulders. The large expressive eyes, focal point of any Nendoroid, are perfectly implemented. Build quality also follows suit - I have no concerns or issues with regards to joints, limb length, gaps, or quality of the plastic itself.
Kind of a fast look at this figure, partially because Daylight Savings is killing my energy, but mostly because there really isn't much to talk about here. You don't buy Nendoroids to creating screen accurate battle scenes - you buy them because you want something that is cute and visually appealing, but still appreciate quality in your figures as well as articulation. Strangely weak paint applications aside, Tracer meets all those criteria and overall she's a solid entry into the product line.

The 29th Annual AXA Raheny 5 Mile Road Race 2013 took place in Raheny Village, Dublin, Ireland on Sunday January 27th 2013 at 15:00. There was also an earlier set of junior/childrens races at 14:00 and the walkers' race at 14:40. The 'Raheny 5' has become one of the most famous road races in Ireland. The race has continued to grow year-on-year and this year was no exception. Almost 3,000 participants took part in the various events of the day. The incredible voluntary organisational work carried out by Raheny Shamrocks and the local community in staging the race every year must be acknowledged.
The weather was postively wintery today. There was an icy wind blowing into the face of the runners at various points in the course. This made for some very variable mile-splits. Overall the weather was favourable in that the rain stayed away and there was some helpful 'wind at the back' for the runners in places.
This is a large set of photographs where images are captured from the ONE MILE Mark and at the finish straight with about 300 Meters remaining (up to an overall finish time of 55 minutes). The overall winners where Joe Sweeney and Mary Cullen.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information below.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that they are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible.
Please note: that we cannot be responsible for the content of any external links (outside of our Flickr account) as we have no control over them. Links are provided for your information only. Responsibility lies solely with the operators of these websites.
