14th April 2018. The East Lancashire Railway had organised a special gala to celebrate sixty years of the Class 40 diesel locomotive. There are only seven left in preservation and the ELR had got six of them [including D200 which is usually in the National Railway Museum in York] for this special weekend.
In the photograph BR Class 40 1Co-Co1 No.40135 [D335] approaches Bury Bolton Street with a stopping train from Rawtenstall.
Cdv of Frédéric François Xavier Ghislain de Mérode, Minister of the War of the Papal States, Archbishop, Count and creator of the unit of the Papal Zouaves (Brussels, 26th March 1820 – Rome, 12th July 1874) by Fratelli D’Alessandri.
Atelier address: Via del Babuino 65, Rome.
Activity: from 1856 to 1950.
Date: before 1865.
More about Monsignor de Mérode:
Frédéric François Xavier Ghislain de Mérode was born in Brussels on 26th March 1820 and was the son of Count Félix de Mérode-Westerloo, who held in turn the portfolios of foreign affairs, war, and finances under Leopold I of Belgium, and of Rosalie de Grammont. He was allied through the House of Mérode to the aristocracy of France. He lost his mother at the age of three and was raised at Villersexel, in Franche-Comté, by his aunt Philippine de Grammont, his father's second wife.
He attended religious colleges before entering the Military Academy of Brussels in 1839. He graduated with the rank of second lieutenant and in 1844, after a short period serving at the armoury of Liège, he joined the staff of Maréchal Bugeaud in Algeria where his heroism earned him the famous Legion d'honneur.
However, in 1847 he suddenly decided to change armies and exchange his sword for a rosary. He studied at the Gregorian University in Rome and was ordained priest in 1849. He was assigned as chaplain to the French garrison of Viterbo. In 1850, while his family was urging him to return to Belgium, Pope Pius IX, with a view to attach him permanently to his court, made him Cameriere Segreto, the chief prison warden of Rome.
Mérode was so successful in this position that many rulers, even some hostile to the Church, wanted to use the same policies to improve conditions in their own prisons.
In 1860, Mérode, much against the views of the Roman Prelature, headed by Cardinal Antonelli, persuaded Pius IX to form a unit of Catholic volunteers that later became known as the Papal Zouaves and recruited his cousin, the famous Algerian war hero and noted French legitimist, Cristofe de Lamoriciere as commander-in-chief. Several days later the Pope appointed him Minister of War.
Mérode devoted many years to public works. He paid for the construction of the Campo Pretoriano outside Porta Pia, the construction of new streets, the sanitation of the old quarters by the Tiber and other projects.
His temperament and progressive views made him enemies among the Roman society. He attacked the French Emperor's duplicity, making enemies in the leadership of the French army of occupation. Opposition to the Monsignor finally forced Pope Pius IX to dismiss him in 1865, but he was not about to abandon one of his most faithful servants. Mérode became papal almoner and titular Archbishop of Melitene in 1866. His new duties were to distribute the papal alms and to confirm children in danger of death. At the First Vatican Council, he showed the influence exercised over him by his brother-in-law de Montalembert and sided with the minority that deemed the definition of papal infallibility inopportune and even dangerous, but submitted the day the dogma was defined.
After the capture of Rome by the Piedmontese on 20th September 1870, he joined the Pope in retirement within the Vatican, leaving only to fight the Piedmontese government's pretensions on the Campo Pretoriano or to share de Rossi's work in the excavations of Tor Marancino, which resulted in the discovery of the Basilica of St. Petronilla.
Monsignor de Mérode made one of his last official speeches on 14th June 1874 when he addressed a group of American pilgrims and talked about his family connections with the famous French and American revolutionary Lafayette. He spoke of his regret that the talented general had turned away from the faith, but also spoke of the great contributions to Catholicism that were being made by the nation he helped to build. Not long after, de Mérode died of pneumonia in the arms of Blessed Pius IX, only a matter of months before he was scheduled to be made a Cardinal and Prince of the Catholic Church.
He was buried in the Flemish Cemetery near the Vatican with a turnout that included his fellow clergymen , princes whose rights he always supported and a mass of poor people of Rome for whom he had done so much.
More about Fratelli D’Alessandri:
Father Antonio D’Alessandri ( L’Aquila, 1818 – Rome, 1893) and his brother Paolo Francesco D’Alessandri (L’Aquila, 1824 – Rome, 1889) were the founder of one of the most famous ateliers in Rome and in Italy.
The two brothers moved from L'Aquila to Rome in 1850 and started to travel across Italy and Europe in order to study photography. As a result, they opened their atelier in Rome in 1856. It was the first atelier ever opened in Rome.
Father Antonio was very talented and the atelier became very popular among the Roman Society and Curia. Pope Pius IX and his court, cardinals, bishops, nobles, soldiers and the King and Queen of Naples in exile were portrayed in the atelier. Its reputation spread soon in whole Europe.
In 1862, the brothers photographed the camp of the Papal Zouaves and five years later they photographed the battlefields of Monterotondo and Mentana.
In 1870, they portrayed the Bersaglieri over the ruins of Porta Pia after the fall of Rome and the atelier gained the hostility of the Roman Curia which revoked all the privileges granted.
The many arguments between the Roman Curia and Father Antonio became so exasperating he decided to leave the priesthood.
The atelier was already successful and didn’t need any privileges of the Roman Curia. They continued to portray the Roman Society, from the poor to the nobles, for many years until their deaths. Tito and Renato, son and grandson of Paolo Francesco, took over the atelier and ran it until 1950, when it was definitively closed.
If those scary looking bishops hadn't been glued to the board,
the situation would have looked pretty dire for the black king.

Oranges have ten (2x5) segments except when they have eleven - or twelve or - ?
A banana has three segments. Banana plants are monocots. Apple trees are dicots so we might expect and apple to have five segments. An apple core does have five radial seed chambers that usually contain one seed each (but may have two). Orange trees are dicots. One might expect an orange to have five or ten segments? Ten is common, but many do have an extra one or two (often smaller). There is some irregularity.

For a town with a population of 26,000, Paramus' mall count makes no sense. The town contains 4 regional malls, all within 5 miles of each other. Another mall is located just over the border with Hackensack, NJ.
The story makes more sense when one considers that the town is located 10 miles from Manhattan, and in the middle of the most densely populated metropolitan area in the US. The area was farmland until the 50's and 60's, at which point developers realized that flat farmland, located adjacent to major interstate highways outside of a major population center like New York City, could be more profitably used for shopping centers. The area surrounding Paramus also experienced explosive growth in the 60's and 70's due to white flight and the general post-war growth of the New York suburbs in New Jersey.
Couple the location with the fact that New Jersey has no sales tax on clothing, and you end up with a zip-code with the highest retail sales in the US. This is even more eye-opening when one considers that Paramus' Blue Laws prohibit any of its shopping malls from opening on Sundays.
The 771,000 sq. ft. Paramus Park Mall was developed by The Rouse Company and opened in 1974 with A&S and Sears as anchors. Later, a Fortunoff home store was added as a junior anchor. Paramus Park is neither the largest nor the most impressive of the 5 area malls, but I have always loved the Sears here, and my mom frequented the mall because, with 2 anchors, it was easy to get in and out without a huge time investment.
This 289,000 sq. ft. Macy's was originally an A&S (Abraham & Strauss) which was the Brooklyn, NY-based department store's first location in New Jersey. At the time the store opened, Paramus was already home to: Bamberger's, Gimbel's, Lord & Taylor, B. Altman's, Stern Brothers, Ohrbach's, Alexander's, with Bloomingdales one town over. Saks Fifth Avenue would be added 2 years later; this in a town which had been farmland 20 years earlier.
The A&S store opened with the mall in 1974, and received a complete renovation in 1988, adding these tinted-glass entryways that were very popular at malls in the 1980's. It converted to Macy's with the rest of the chain in 1995 and, in addition to a Macy's furniture gallery, it is one of two full-line Macy's stores in Paramus. (At one point there were 3 plus the furniture gallery)
The mall can be accessed from Route 17 using roads names for its anchors--Sears and A&S. Even though the store changed to Macy's in 1995, the road is still called A&S Drive today.
