This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.
Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:
•What do you see? Write a brief description for this image.
•Where was this photograph taken?
•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.
•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?
About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.

This is the second year of this project (we were in Chiapas in 2008) and it finally has a name -- Hats for Kids, or Gorros para Niños in Spanish. Many people contributed to the success of this project. Some sent yarn and looms from the United States, some knitted in Oaxaca, and some donated more time, money, and supplies on the ground in Oaxaca and Benito Juarez. Thanks especially to Kathleen Taylor, Linda Suhr, Bob Garner, Geri, Eliz, Marta, Susan, and the town of Benito Juarez for making this project possible.
The village of Benito Juarez rests at 10,000 feet in the Sierra Norte, one of five Zapotec villages, connected by footpaths and dirt roads called "Pueblos Mancomunados." They are a sovereign territory that makes and enforces their own laws, and they have created a wonderful series of cabins and camping areas connected by bike and footpaths. People book the cabins for successive nights (only 80 pesos per night, per person -- that's about $7) and hike or bike between the villages in a big loop.
They have a wonderful library that has various programs (such as ours), and they really need donations of books for their eager and ambitious children who have come to place the library and all that it offers at the top of their list of fun places to be.
We took up all 5 rooms in the library for the day -- 43 women and teens attended, and we gave away 43 looms, 86 hats, and almost everyone completed a hat in the 4-hour session that went from 10am to 2pm. Then about 15 came back for a late session between 4 and 6.
If you would like to donate books and would like some suggestions of what they would love to have, let me know. One thing (in the fiction department) are series like Harry Potter translated into Spanish. There are so many wonderful series out now for children, and I have some recommendations.
We will be returning in November to make more hats and a new project -- warm scarves!
Built in 1934 using the Exotic/Moorish Revival designs of architect Pedro de Castro, this structure serves as the headquarters of a private social organization whose members are those of Spanish descent. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is a also contributing property to the Puerta de Tierra Historic District, listed in 2019.

San Juan is the capital and largest city of Puerto Rico. Today the city surrounds Bahía de San Juan (San Juan Bay) and extends far into the interior of the Island of Puerto Rico, but historically was situated primarily on the fortified islet of San Juan. Located in the eastern Greater Antilles on the Atlantic Ocean, San Juan is one of the largest and most economically important cities in the Caribbean region. The historic city is the oldest European-established community in the United States, founded by Spanish colonists in 1521. It is home to roughly 340,000 residents and some of the foremost institutions of the island commonwealth.
Knowsley Safari Park is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari Park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The safari park contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and its links with universities in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester.
History
The park was opened in July 1971 by Edward Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby and Jimmy Chipperfield[9] using the expertise of general manager Laurence Tennant MBE, formerly the Chief Game Warden of Parks in Uganda and Botswana. Initially the road through the park was 3.5 miles (5.6 km), with visitors driving past lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelope. Due to the popularity of this route, an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of road was added in 1973, and camels, buffalo, white rhino, and tigers were added to the park. Over the years, a few modifications have been made. For instance, tigers are now displayed in enclosures within the reserve, and a bypass around the baboons was built for visitors who are worried about damage to their cars.
The park was also home to a former RAF airfield which closed at the end of World War II. The RAF airbase situated at the safari park was also known as No 49 SLG or RAF Knowsley Park and was in use between 13 May 1942 – November 1944.
The park has hosted several sporting events including the Olympic torch relay, watched by 6,000 children and families in June 2012. The park hosted the finish of Stage Two of the 2012 Tour of Britain cycling event and is scheduled to host Stage Three of the 2013 Tour on Tuesday 17 September.
Most recently it hosted the final leg of Big Learner Relay 2017 which has raised over £300,000 for the BBC Children in Need appeal since 2014. Louise Walsh the inspiration behind the BLR has been awarded the prime minister's points of light award which recognises outstanding individual volunteers.
In 1995 Mr William Middleton, a warden at the park, was crushed and paralysed due to a faulty elephant enclosure. Mr Middleton died 12 years later due to complications caused by his injuries.
Zoological collection
Situated around Knowsley Hall on the ancestral estate of the Earl of Derby, the reserve is home to many different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, bongos, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection.
The park is open to the public and customers drive around the park in their own vehicles. There is a bypass route past the baboons for those who wish to avoid the risk of the baboons damaging their cars. In 2009 the baboons made the news all over the world when a video was released showing how they were intelligent and curious enough to open car roofboxes.
Tiger Trail
Amur Tiger Trail opened 25 May 2018, home to the Amur Tiger otherwise known as the Siberian Tiger. The area is 10,000m2 and includes forested areas, natural streams and ponds.
The Equatorial Trail
This exhibit focuses on animals who thrive in habitats around the Earth's Equator. The exhibit also houses the 'Equatorial Express', a small train which visitors can ride to gain a unique viewpoint of the animals. 4 completely different species of animals are housed in this exhibit, the South American tapir, Sitatunga, Rhea and the Capybara.
African Elephant
Until 2017 the park housed a herd of 4 adult cows named Tana, Ashanti, Nala and Juba. They were transported to Zoo Parc d'Beauval, France to enter the European Breeding Programme and allow for transformations on Knowsley Safari's Foot Safari. Knowsley previously housed a bull named Nissim, who collapsed in June 2014. Knowsley also recently lost their cow named Shaba due to a long battle with elephant arthritis.
Southern White Rhinoceros
Knowsley's crash of 11 adult rhinos is one of the most successful and genetically diverse breeding groups in Europe. The latest calf (as at 4 June 2016), Nomvula (Mother of Rain – a reference to the recent wet weather), born to mum Meru and is the 19th to be born at the facility in the last 40 years. Nomvula is Meru's 6th calf and was born on 2 January 2016.

Railway and other attractions
The park features a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway, 'The Lakeside Railway', on which visitors may tour parts of the site. There is also a collection of amusements and fairground rides on site plus paintballing, off-road driving challenges, and aerial extreme ropewalks.
A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.
Animal care
In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.

Argonne has contributed centrally to all phases of the ATLAS Tile Calorimeter. Design, prototyping, and fabrication of modules and electronics were carried out in the US in close collaboration with the University of Chicago, University of Illinois. Michigan State University, and the University of Texas at Arlington. Bob Stanek from Argonne was the Project Leader for the Tile Calorimeter System from 2005 until 2009. The modules for Extended Barrel A (EBA), one of three barrel assemblies that comprise the Tile Calorimeter, were assembled and tested at Argonne. In the picture at left, EBA is shown in the ATLAS cavern at the moment of completion of its assembly from 64 separate modules in May 2006. This completed the mechanical installation of the calorimeter (the barrel was installed in December 2004 and EBC in February 2006). The group is now working on calorimeter commissioning, software development and validation, and optimization of the use of the calorimeter signals to reconstruct a measure jets.

Grey Ranks (Polish: Szare Szeregi) was a codename for the underground Polish Scouting Association (Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego) during World War II. The organisation was created on September 27, 1939, actively resisted and fought German occupation until January 18, 1945 in Warsaw and largely contributed to all resistance actions of the Polish Underground State and some of its members (Grupy Szturmowe) were among the best trained troops of the Home Army. Among groups belonging to the Grey Ranks, there were the White Couriers, who between late fall of 1939 and mid-1940 helped to smuggle numerous persons from Soviet-occupied southeastern Poland to Hungary.
Though formally independent, the Szare Szeregi cooperated closely with the Government Delegation for Poland and the Headquarters of the Home Army. The Grey Ranks were headed by their own headquarters, the Naczelnictwo, manned by 5 or 6 members.

The CRSS Orion was the first Orion-class heavy cruiser built, and it quickly saw action in the Battle of the Mid-Belt, contributing heavily to the defeat of the Vamyr fleet. It single-handedly destroyed more enemy ships than any other single vessel in the Allied Navies, and continued its distinguished career throughout the Belt War. Later, it was relegated to patrol duties in Sector 7, keeping watch over the Scameran civil war, which proved to be one of the longest and most extensive galactic civil wars in recorded history.
The potential for the civil war to attract outside interests and involve the entire galaxy was such that the Confederation could not afford to remove its presence as observers, forcing the CRSS Orion to omit several important upgrades over the years. By the end of the conflict, it was so outdated as to be effectively useless. The Admiralty decided against bringing it up to date, a hugely costly endeavour, and decided instead to turn it into a museum and training ship, preserving its legacy.
Subsequent Orion-class designs were no less successful. These ships, unsurprisingly, were commissioned to the Carrackian Docks, under the concept of a cruiser-class ship dedicated to destroying swarms of smaller vessels. Consequently, the Orions benefit from an enormous amount of missile and torpedo launchers, far more than any other active military ship from any navy. Its primary use was intended to defeat the Vamyr swarm-fleets, but it so far remains unproven, apart from the single original Orion during the Battle of the Mid-Belt. However, the Orion-class has in many other instances proven exceptionally useful, and remains the primary capital-class ship in naval service of the Confederation of Republic Systems, despite it not being a true capital-class. This alone speaks volumes about its effectiveness.
The Confederation currently does not allow the sale of these ships or their designs, jealously (although smartly) guarding their secrets. This class adds another powerful tool in the belt of the Confederation of Republic Systems, alongside the Musket-class destroyer, which are often seen supporting these larger vessels.

History
Sissinghurst's garden was created in the 1930s by Vita Sackville-West, poet and gardening writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, author and diplomat.[2] Sackville-West was a writer on the fringes of the Bloomsbury Group who found her greatest popularity in the weekly columns she contributed as gardening correspondent of The Observer, which incidentally—for she never touted it—made her own garden famous.[3] The garden itself is designed as a series of 'rooms', each with a different character of colour and/or theme, the walls being high clipped hedges and many pink brick walls.[4] The rooms and 'doors' are so arranged that, as one enjoys the beauty in a given room, one suddenly discovers a new vista into another part of the garden, making a walk a series of discoveries that keeps leading one into yet another area of the garden.[5] Nicolson spent his efforts coming up with interesting new interconnections, while Sackville-West focused on making the flowers in the interior of each room exciting.
For Sackville-West, Sissinghurst and its garden rooms came to be a poignant and romantic substitute for Knole,[6] reputedly the largest house in Britain, which as the only child of Lionel, the 3rd Lord Sackville she would have inherited had she been a male, but which had passed to her cousin as the male heir.
The site is ancient; "hurst" is the Saxon term for an enclosed wood. A manor house with a three-armed moat was built here in the Middle Ages. In 1305, King Edward I spent a night here. It was long thought that in 1490 Thomas Baker, a man from Cranbrook, purchased Sissinghurst, although there is no evidence for it.[7] What is certain is that the house was given a new brick gatehouse in the 1530s by Sir John Baker, one of Henry VIII's Privy Councillors, and greatly enlarged in the 1560s by his son Sir Richard Baker, when it became the centre of a 700-acre (2.8 km2) deer park. In August 1573 Queen Elizabeth I spent three nights at Sissinghurst.[7]

After the collapse of the Baker family in the late 17th century, the building had many uses: as a prisoner-of-war camp during the Seven Years' War; as the workhouse for the Cranbrook Union; after which it became homes for farm labourers.
Sackville-West and Nicolson found Sissinghurst in 1930 after concern that their property Long Barn, near Sevenoaks, Kent, was close to development over which they had no control. Although Sissinghurst was derelict, they purchased the ruins and the farm around it and began constructing the garden we know today.[6] The layout by Nicolson and planting by Sackville-West were both strongly influenced by the gardens of Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens; by the earlier Cothay Manor in Somerset, laid out by Nicolson's friend Reginald Cooper, and described by one garden writer as the "Sissinghurst of the West Country";[9] and by Hidcote Manor Garden, designed and owned by Lawrence Johnston, which Sackville-West helped to preserve. Sissinghurst was first opened to the public in 1938.wikipedia
The Community Regeneration Team was established in 2001 to help residents contribute to the regeneration of St Michael's Estate. They have been actively involved in this process, demanding a holistic approach to regeneration instead of just a physical transformation. However, three plans to redevelop the estate have been scrapped in the space of five years. The "Moving Ahead' plan which benefited from the input of residents and the local community was rejected by the Department of the Environment in 2003 as economically unviable. The community campaigned against the Framework Plan and it was rejected by the council chamber of Dublin City Council in 2004 as a result. The Public Private Partnership regeneration plan with McNamara/Castlethorn collapsed in 2008 due to the global credit crisis. In the meantime, the first three blocks of St Michael's Estate were demolished in 2004 and the final block was demolished in 2013. The land between St Vincent Street West and Richmond Barracks (pictured) remains undeveloped in 2017.

Cuban amateur boxing system
Foreign influence contributed to the development of Cuban amateur boxing. Before Fidel Castro took power in 1959, Cuba’s achievements in amateur boxing were diminutive. Components of their boxing style were derived from American Professional Boxing. After the Revolution, Eastern European methodology replaced the American influences. Andrei Chervenko of the Soviet Union has trained Teofilo Stevenson and Europe’s Vasili Romanov has trained boxers as well.
The Cuban amateur boxing system along with other sports programs start in grammar schools. Sports are considered a high priority in the Cuban education system and its there a potential athlete can be recognized. From the age of 12, talented youths are sent to specialized schools where they can focus on enhancing their skills. From there the young boxers train throughout a very competitive youth program. The ones that graduate from the program are sent to the top school in Wajay, where they train advanced drills and exercises. The support that the state gives is crucial to the advancement of the highly technical boxing program.
Amateur boxer Teofilo Stevenson who had won three Olympic gold medals in (1972, 1976, and 1980) has made many contributions to Cuba and Cuban boxing. He is equally known for his sportsmanship, receiving the UNESCO Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play prize in 1989. After retiring in boxing in 1986 he has served both in the Cuban parliament and as a vice president of the Cuban Boxing Federation.
After a career of fighting for their country most Cubans continue to stay in the sport, many as administrators or trainers. Through this way the knowledge and experience is passed down to the next generation of athletes.

VINKOVAČKE JESENI (VINKOVCI AUTUMN) is the greatest folklore event in this part of Europe. It represents the popular-scholarly gathering of original national culture and stimulates the preservation of cultural heritage through song and the playing of instruments, and contributes greatly towards preventing many customs from falling into oblivion. Organized by Grad Vinkovci
------------------------------
54. Vinkovačke jeseni (13. - 22. rujna 2019.)
21.08.2019 - 30.09.2019
Već više od pedeset godina Vinkovačke jeseni najveći su čuvar tradicijske kulture, izvornog folklora, pjesme, plesa, ali i puno više od toga.
Od svog osnutka, 1966. godine, manifestacija je prerasla u jedan od najpoznatijih festivala ovakve vrste u Hrvatskoj, a tome ponajprije pridonose temeljne svečanosti koje se održavaju u sklopu Vinkovačkih jeseni.
Na 54. Vinkovačkim jesenima nastupit će oko 8.000 izvođača i sudionika programa. Njih će, prema procjenama baziranim na dosadašnjoj posjeti, gledati više od 100.000 posjetitelja
Kao i svake godine tako će i ove najveću pažnju privući Svečanost otvorenja, koja će se na velikoj pozornici u središtu Vinkovaca održati 20. rujna. I ovo će otvorenje, kao i brojna do sada okupiti akademske i glumce amatere, pjevače i pjevačke skupine, plesače i kulturno-umjetnička društva iz cijele Hrvatske. Tema ovogodišnjeg otvorenja je „Tri nam drage riječi“, pri čemu se misli na Slavoniju, Srijem i Baranju. Prvi dio priprema s glumcima i KUD-ovima, je odrađen, a zajednička proba svih sudionika otvorenja u vinkovačkom gradskom kazalištu započet će polovinom rujna.
Prva tradicijska manifestacija u sklopu Vinkovačkih jeseni bit će, kao i obično Folklorne večeri. Manifestacija, koja će okupiti više od 50 kulturno-umjetničkih društava iz cijele Vukovarsko-srijemske županije. Folklorne večeri započet će 13. i trajat će do 18. rujna, a prema riječima voditelja organizacije Folklornih večeri i Svečanog mimohoda, Franje Japelja, prijave zainteresiranih KUD-ova još uvijek pristižu. O deset najboljih KUD-ova Županijske smotre folklora, u velikom šatoru Vinkovačkih jeseni, odlučivat će prosudbena komisija, a izabrane skupine predstavljat će Županiju na smotrama folklora širom Hrvatske.
Tijekom drugog vikenda Vinkovačkih jeseni, 21. i 22. rujna, bit će održana Državna smotra hrvatskoga izvornog folklora. Prvog dana u večernjim satima na Trgu bana Josipa Šokčevića predstavit će se gostujući KUD-ovi, slijedi drugi dio manifestacije u nedjelju u 12 sati, nakon Svečanog mimohoda, a Smotra će završiti posljednjim, trećim dijelom na trgu Vinkovačkih jeseni pod Velikim šatorom u nedjelju navečer.
Svečani mimohod svih sudionika, a na kojem će sudjelovati oko 80 folklornih skupina, počinje u nedjelju, 22. rujna u 10 sati. Nakon prolaska preko svečane pozornice, mimohod se nastavlja do stadiona HNK “Cibalia” Vinkovci gdje će sudionici zaplesati najveće šokačko kolo. No neće se plesati samo na stadionu. U kolo će se uhvatiti sudionici i gledatelji po cijelom gradu.
Također, 14. i 15. rujna, održat će se Dječje Vinkovačke jeseni. Prvoga dana u večernjim satima održat će se prvi dio Međužupanijske smotre dječjih folklornih skupina, u nedjelju slijedi Središnji mimohod dječjih skupina, koji će svoj cilj imati u Velikom šatoru, gdje će nakon mimohoda održati drugi dio Međužupanijske smotre.

Knowsley Safari Park is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari Park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The safari park contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and its links with universities in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester.
History
The park was opened in July 1971 by Edward Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby and Jimmy Chipperfield[9] using the expertise of general manager Laurence Tennant MBE, formerly the Chief Game Warden of Parks in Uganda and Botswana. Initially the road through the park was 3.5 miles (5.6 km), with visitors driving past lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelope. Due to the popularity of this route, an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of road was added in 1973, and camels, buffalo, white rhino, and tigers were added to the park. Over the years, a few modifications have been made. For instance, tigers are now displayed in enclosures within the reserve, and a bypass around the baboons was built for visitors who are worried about damage to their cars.
The park was also home to a former RAF airfield which closed at the end of World War II. The RAF airbase situated at the safari park was also known as No 49 SLG or RAF Knowsley Park and was in use between 13 May 1942 – November 1944.
The park has hosted several sporting events including the Olympic torch relay, watched by 6,000 children and families in June 2012. The park hosted the finish of Stage Two of the 2012 Tour of Britain cycling event and is scheduled to host Stage Three of the 2013 Tour on Tuesday 17 September.
Most recently it hosted the final leg of Big Learner Relay 2017 which has raised over £300,000 for the BBC Children in Need appeal since 2014. Louise Walsh the inspiration behind the BLR has been awarded the prime minister's points of light award which recognises outstanding individual volunteers.
In 1995 Mr William Middleton, a warden at the park, was crushed and paralysed due to a faulty elephant enclosure. Mr Middleton died 12 years later due to complications caused by his injuries.
Zoological collection
Situated around Knowsley Hall on the ancestral estate of the Earl of Derby, the reserve is home to many different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, bongos, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection.
The park is open to the public and customers drive around the park in their own vehicles. There is a bypass route past the baboons for those who wish to avoid the risk of the baboons damaging their cars. In 2009 the baboons made the news all over the world when a video was released showing how they were intelligent and curious enough to open car roofboxes.
Tiger Trail
Amur Tiger Trail opened 25 May 2018, home to the Amur Tiger otherwise known as the Siberian Tiger. The area is 10,000m2 and includes forested areas, natural streams and ponds.
The Equatorial Trail
This exhibit focuses on animals who thrive in habitats around the Earth's Equator. The exhibit also houses the 'Equatorial Express', a small train which visitors can ride to gain a unique viewpoint of the animals. 4 completely different species of animals are housed in this exhibit, the South American tapir, Sitatunga, Rhea and the Capybara.
African Elephant
Until 2017 the park housed a herd of 4 adult cows named Tana, Ashanti, Nala and Juba. They were transported to Zoo Parc d'Beauval, France to enter the European Breeding Programme and allow for transformations on Knowsley Safari's Foot Safari. Knowsley previously housed a bull named Nissim, who collapsed in June 2014. Knowsley also recently lost their cow named Shaba due to a long battle with elephant arthritis.
Southern White Rhinoceros
Knowsley's crash of 11 adult rhinos is one of the most successful and genetically diverse breeding groups in Europe. The latest calf (as at 4 June 2016), Nomvula (Mother of Rain – a reference to the recent wet weather), born to mum Meru and is the 19th to be born at the facility in the last 40 years. Nomvula is Meru's 6th calf and was born on 2 January 2016.

Railway and other attractions
The park features a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway, 'The Lakeside Railway', on which visitors may tour parts of the site. There is also a collection of amusements and fairground rides on site plus paintballing, off-road driving challenges, and aerial extreme ropewalks.
A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.
Animal care
In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.
Rushes contributed a variety of Motion Graphics and CG VFX to bring to life one of the most important events of the 21st century. The story behind the plan to capture one of the world’s most infamous and elusive terrorists, Osama Bin Laden. Working with the project’s Director Bruce Goodison was an engaging process given the secretive world of Government Intelligence. Recreating the look and feel of story behind the events was an interesting creative and technical challenge.
For the Docudrama re-enactments Rushes MGFX Studio team provided a mixture of Motion Graphics to show the different techniques used by Governments and Military to piece together the various types of intelligence available. This included Satellite Tracking, Face and Voice Recognition, Maps and Aerial Reconnaissance. Also included were the Opening Titles sequence and visual treatment of the pre-title opening shots.
Full CG sequences of the Helicopters in operation were created giving the audience an idea of what the Stealth Blackhawks may have looked like and their important role within the mission.

The stage performances by the youth wing of the organization in the form of ballets, skits and devotional songs are done to entertain, educate and contribute to internal illumination. Lord Krishna is the presiding deity of the divine love. Rehearsals for the performances commence months in advance, and final performances enthrall the audience. All the performers are the devotees of Maharaj Ji and not professionals. Yet, the level of perfection shown in the cultural items is stunningly marvelous. The divine grace of the Spiritual Master is visible through all types of activities. The audience remains spellbound during the entire duration of the program.
------------------------------
The Shri Krishna Janmashtami Mahostav organized by Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan have much more to offer to build the personalities of visitors and to provide to them and their families with a tangible and sustainable message. They explain that the path of spirituality can be and must be followed during the lifetime and introduced to youth and children at an early age. It is not an after-retirement project. ‘Brahm Gyan’ is a mindful experience of divinity, that happens at a subtle transcendental level by the grace of a spiritual master who is capable of disseminating divine knowledge unto seekers of truth. Arjuna emerged victorious, not by polishing the arrows alone, but by galvanizing his inner self, being blessed by the Perfect Master of his Era, Lord Krishna!
Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan Founded and headed by Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji is a global network, a mission committed to establishing peace in human mind & actions. Ultimately translating the concept of World Peace into a tangible reality and creating universal culture of peace
Vision:
“From Self Awakening to Global Peace.”
Mission:
“To usher into a world wherein every individual becomes an embodiment of truth, fraternity, and justice through the eternal science of self-realization – ‘Brahm Gyan’, uprooting in its wake all social evils and threat.”

The exhibit also houses the 'Equatorial Express', a small train which visitors can ride to gain a unique viewpoint of the animals. 4 completely different species of animals are housed in this exhibit, the South American tapir, Sitatunga, Rhea and the Capybara.
African Elephant
Until 2017 the park housed a herd of 4 adult cows named Tana, Ashanti, Nala and Juba. They were transported to Zoo Parc d'Beauval, France to enter the European Breeding Programme and allow for transformations on Knowsley Safari's Foot Safari. Knowsley previously housed a bull named Nissim, who collapsed in June 2014. Knowsley also recently lost their cow named Shaba due to a long battle with elephant arthritis.
Southern White Rhinoceros
Knowsley's crash of 11 adult rhinos is one of the most successful and genetically diverse breeding groups in Europe. The latest calf (as at 4 June 2016), Nomvula (Mother of Rain – a reference to the recent wet weather), born to mum Meru and is the 19th to be born at the facility in the last 40 years. Nomvula is Meru's 6th calf and was born on 2 January 2016.

Railway and other attractions
The park features a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway, 'The Lakeside Railway', on which visitors may tour parts of the site. There is also a collection of amusements and fairground rides on site plus paintballing, off-road driving challenges, and aerial extreme ropewalks.
A baboon house was added in 2006, along with African wild dogs that same year, a lion and tiger house in 2007. Red river hogs and marmosets were also added to the walkaround section, as well as an outdoor pool.
Animal care
In January 2011, local animal rights activists held a peaceful demonstration after an inspection by government vets found one instance of a breach of regulations on the disposal of animal ‘by-products’. Pictures in the Daily Mail showed animals lying dead on the ground and in binbags, although the park's directors claim the pictures were staged by the photographer, whose husband the paper claimed had recently lost his job at the park. The park has since installed an enclosure for the storage of animal carcasses before disposal. The British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) later said it had ‘full confidence’ in Knowsley and praised its ‘excellent standards of animal husbandry and welfare’.
The Bride of Frankenstein (Universal, 1935). Full Feature. www.veoh.com/watch/v68308074se9ajHpk
Universal Pictures followed up their highly successful Frankenstein with what has to be one of the best sequels out of Hollywood. James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein (BoF) had many factors contributing to its success. For some of those, see the Notes section below. It is a bigger, richer tale. Two key cast members reprised their roles. Colin Clive again played the obsessed and tormented Henry Frankenstein. Boris Karloff again played the monster. Other lesser characters were picked up by new faces. A couple of new characters were added. To some, BoF surpasses the original. Few sequels get such acclaim.
Synopsis
The film opens on a suitably dark and stormy night in the early 1800s. Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron sit around a fire talking of Mary's story. Was that how it ended? No. Mary tells what happened next. (cross fade to burning windmill). The crowds filter on home. Maria's father insists on seeing the body of the monster, so goes into the smoking rubble. He falls into the water filled cellar. The monster is there too, much alive. He drowns Hans. The monster emerges. The crowd took Henry back to his family castle, thinking he was dead, but he moves his hand. He's Alive! He swears to never dabble in man-making again. Just then, a sketchy former classmate arrives. Dr. Pretoreous heard of Henry's work and wants him to partner, to make a perfect man. Henry goes to Pretorious' lab to see his work. Six glass jars, each with a miniature person inside. A queen, a king, a bishop, a devil, a ballerina and a mermaid. Pretorious makes them from raw materials, not dead body parts, but can only make smaller things. He wants Henry to make a full-sized body again. Pretorious would supply the brain. Meanwhile, the monster roams the woods. A shepherdess sees him, screams and falls in a river. The monster rescues her, but hunters heard her screams and shoots the Monster in the arm. A new mob combs the woods finally capturing the monster. They haul him into town and chain him in a jail cell. Stronger than his chains, the monster escapes and rampages around the village awhile before fleeing into the woods again. Tired, hurt and hungry, the monster comes to the shack of an old blind hermit. The hermit befriends the monster, eventually teaching him to talk. Hunters find the monster in the shack, so he flees again. Yet another mob chases him through the woods. The monster goes down into a crypt to hide. There, he sees Pretorious and henchmen stealing body parts (bones). When henchmen leave, Pretorious entertains the monster and suggests Henry should build him a woman, a mate. The monster likes that idea. Pretorious tells Henry it's time to start building. Henry refuses. Pretorious has the monster kidnap Elizabeth and take her to a cave. Her ransom is to build the new woman. Henry, under duress, starts working in the old tower again. They have the "bride" done and exposed to dramatic sparks. She's Alive! When the monster comes in to meet his bride, she screams and runs from him. Enraged that even his own kind rejects him, the monster rampages around the lab. This lab is equipped with a self-destruct lever, (for some reason). The monster starts to pull it. He tells Henry to get away with Elizabeth (now free). "You go. You live." He pulls the lever and the tower blows up dramatically, crumbling to rubble. Henry and Elizabeth embrace on an adjacent hilltop. The End.
Much of Henry's prior electro-biology technology is reused. The equipment is ramped up a bit, though. Henry uses two 3-winged kites (ala Ben Franklin) to gather lightening. Pretorious' process is more akin to alchemy, and in that way similar to the "science" used in Edison's 1910 version.
The plot in BoF is an expansion on elements in Mary's original novel. In her story, the monster demands that Victor create a mate for him. In BoF, it was Pretorious who pushes the idea. The scene with the hermit befriending the monster is a good parallel to the DeLacy family whom Mary's monster lived with for awhile, there learning to talk, etc.
BoF is such a close sequel, it is more like the second part of a single story. It picks up immediately where the first film left off. After all the action, things return to pretty much where they started. A notable exclusion is Henry's father, the old baron. Suddenly, even though it is the "same night", the old baron is gone and Henry is "now" the baron. Despite all the action, BoF ends as it began. Henry and Elizabeth survive and want to put all the nastiness behind them. The monster is, again, presumed to have died in a dramatic architectural collapse.
Superior Sequel -- Where most sequels falter is that they try to do the same thing as the original, with just a little variation. It is as if the writers or producers don't dare tamper with "success". James Whale was bold. He continued the story in the same time line. He kept the 2 main characters. They start out as they left off, but change (grow) during the film. Whale introduces a key antagonist and some potent sub-plots. The 1931 film was spartan and a bit claustrophobic, with two worlds -- one sane, one unstable. This befit the birth of the creature. BoF is a wider tale, with more characters and much more going on. This is befitting the monster's growth into personhood. BoF is clearly not just a retread, Frankenstein II.
Ernest Thesiger plays Dr. Pretorious, who is a Mephistopheles-like character. This lends a very Faustian flavor to the saga. When Pretorius is showing off his miniature people, he shows off his miniature bishop, the voice of morality. Then he shows his fourth. "This one is the very devil. There is a certain resemblance to me, don't you think? Or do I flatter myself?"
In a broadening of the monster character from the first movie, the monster learns to speak. Granted, they're rudimentary sentences. "Friend…Good." But, even with just a few words, a deep range of the monster's thoughts and desires become known. It is said that Boris Karloff objected, at first, to having "his" monster speak. But he did and it made the monster much more "human" and sympathetic.
Consider how the screenwriters and Whale made the monster an allegory of Jesus. Note these parallels. He did not have the usual mom-dad-birth, but has a creator. He was befriended by the poor, but rejected by the better-off. Some of the visuals are too obvious to ignore. He was hung on a pole (half a cross). Watch the scene where they're hammering in the chain rings in the jail. This is a strong parallel to the nailing of Christ's hands. Then, note at the end of the film, the monster acts noticeably out-of-character for a horror film monster. Instead, he (again) parallel's Christ, in that he voluntarily gives up his own life to save someone else, and to wipe away that person's "sins" and the devilish power of temptation over them. All this Christ-parallel is a very curious inclusion, but it clearly adds depth to the BoF story.
BoF exacerbates the name confusion over who is "Frankenstein" -- the man or the monster. When the female creature is unveiled, Pretorious declares, "Behold, the bride of Frankenstein." Most people take that to mean the bride of the monster. Yet, it could still mean the "bride" that Henry created. The poster adds another layer of ambiguity, by suggesting that the monster ("frankenstein") might chose either Elizabeth or the new woman as his bride. (The monster does kidnap Elizabeth at one point -- the primeval bride-selection method). Yet, Elizabeth is also the bride of Henry. More ambiguity!
James Whale made his sequel much more complex by weaving in occasional comic moments. Some of it verges on camp, as with most of the scenes with Minnie (Henry's old biddy house keeper). Even the monster drinking and smoking, saying lines like "Smoke… Good." were designed to get a laugh. Some humor was more subtle, such as Pretorious saying that each vice, wine, cigars, etc. were "his only weakness." Happily, the humor and camp did not overtake the deeper plot. This early bit of comic relief, though, does open the door for later films like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
BoF is another classic that should be seen. Perhaps the best way is to watch the 1931 film and BoF as a double feature. Much of what "worked" in the original is still in the sequel, but BoF adds new, vibrant material. Whale weaves a complex, yet not confusing, plot and paces it very quickly. Bride of Frankenstein is a movie milestone that even all old movie fans should experience.

Knowsley Safari Park is a zoological park and tourist attraction in the Knowsley area of Merseyside, England. Knowsley Safari Park is a member of the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). The safari park contributes to conservation and research through links with conservation projects and its links with universities in Liverpool, Chester and Manchester.
History
The park was opened in July 1971 by Edward Stanley, 18th Earl of Derby and Jimmy Chipperfield[9] using the expertise of general manager Laurence Tennant MBE, formerly the Chief Game Warden of Parks in Uganda and Botswana. Initially the road through the park was 3.5 miles (5.6 km), with visitors driving past lions, cheetahs, monkeys, giraffes, zebra, elephants and various antelope. Due to the popularity of this route, an additional 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of road was added in 1973, and camels, buffalo, white rhino, and tigers were added to the park. Over the years, a few modifications have been made. For instance, tigers are now displayed in enclosures within the reserve, and a bypass around the baboons was built for visitors who are worried about damage to their cars.
The park was also home to a former RAF airfield which closed at the end of World War II. The RAF airbase situated at the safari park was also known as No 49 SLG or RAF Knowsley Park and was in use between 13 May 1942 – November 1944.
The park has hosted several sporting events including the Olympic torch relay, watched by 6,000 children and families in June 2012. The park hosted the finish of Stage Two of the 2012 Tour of Britain cycling event and is scheduled to host Stage Three of the 2013 Tour on Tuesday 17 September.
Most recently it hosted the final leg of Big Learner Relay 2017 which has raised over £300,000 for the BBC Children in Need appeal since 2014. Louise Walsh the inspiration behind the BLR has been awarded the prime minister's points of light award which recognises outstanding individual volunteers.
In 1995 Mr William Middleton, a warden at the park, was crushed and paralysed due to a faulty elephant enclosure. Mr Middleton died 12 years later due to complications caused by his injuries.
Zoological collection
Situated around Knowsley Hall on the ancestral estate of the Earl of Derby, the reserve is home to many different animals including elephants, giraffes, lions, bongos, tigers and baboons. The Derby Estate have a tradition of keeping animals, ever since the famous artist and nonsense-poet Edward Lear was employed there in the 19th century to paint pictures of the Earl's collection.
The park is open to the public and customers drive around the park in their own vehicles. There is a bypass route past the baboons for those who wish to avoid the risk of the baboons damaging their cars. In 2009 the baboons made the news all over the world when a video was released showing how they were intelligent and curious enough to open car roofboxes.
Tiger Trail
Amur Tiger Trail opened 25 May 2018, home to the Amur Tiger otherwise known as the Siberian Tiger. The area is 10,000m2 and includes forested areas, natural streams and ponds.

A [ very ] potted history of The Knole in Knole Rd.
The Knole stands in Knole Rd in Boscombe and is the home of Bournemouth Freemasonry.
Built in 1872 / 3 it was the first building erected in the vicinity and was built for the wealthy Edmund Christy who also contributed towards the construction of St Clements Church, built around the same time.
After the death of Mr Christy there were various tenants and owners before Anne Page Croft, who later donated the clock in the tower at the Lansdowne College, purchased it in 1911. Her son Henry Page Croft became MP for Bournemouth in 1918 and often frequented The Knole. He inherited it from his mother in 1921
After his death in 1947 the house again fell into the hands of various owners before becoming a hotel in the late 1940s, but this venture was unsuccessful and by 1955 the house was emptied of it's contents and boarded up.
In 1958 it became the new home of the various lodges of the Bouremouth Freemasons, a role it continues to fulfill.
Once surrounded by magnificent gardens with an impressive carriage drive entrance from Knyveton Rd, the front garden was redeveloped with the residential cul de sac Knole Gardens in the 1950s, although an impressive avenue of Wellingtonia Pines still survive. The house has had a truly horrific extension added and is now surrounded by a sea of tarmac, all of which serve to severely lessen the impact of one of Bournemouth's hidden architectural gems..
This series of images and the accompanying 'potted history' is to compliment the excellent 'The Knole - The Story of the Home of Freemasonry In Bournemouth 1958 - 2008' by Michael Drayton.

The William H. Braselton House was built in 1913. The two-story Neoclassical Revival style features a flat roof, modillions, dominant full-height front portico with fluted classical columns, second-story center bay balcony, one-story side porches supported by fluted classical columns, one-over-one double hung windows, and trabeated main entrance (Source: National Register of Historic Place Nomination Form.)
In 2016, the William H. Braselton House was the City Hall for the city of Braselton. The house is in the Braselton Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property.
