The Old Courthouse in St Louis Missouri was constructed of brick in Federal style opening in 1828. St Louis’s burgeoning population cause the original courthouse to be quickly outgrown, architect Henry Singleton designed the classic revival courthouse you see in this image by incorporating the courthouse as the east wind of the building, one of four. The cornerstone for this was laid in 1839, it is a far more elegant edifice, with four wings and a beautiful dome in the center of its axis. In 1851, the original brick courthouse or east wing was torn down. The Dred Scott trails occurred in the original west courtroom in the west wing prior to its being remodeled between 1855 & 1858 in 1847 for the first and 1850 for the second that eventually got to the United States Supreme Court in 1857. Dred Scott and his family were slaves who sued for their freedom and won it in the second trail, that then got reversed by the Missouri Supreme Court and ultimately held up by the United States Supreme Court. In the 1860’s St Louis replaced the original dome of the St Louis Courthouse with an Italian Renaissance style dome styled after St Peter’s Basilica in Rome made of wrought & cast iron with copper on its exterior that was also done to the United States Capitol in Washington DC that was completed in 1862. St Louis stopped using this building as a courthouse in 1930 having outgrown it as well. Deeded to the Federal Government in 1940 by St Louis City, it was incorporated into the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.

This is the old Lancaster County, Virginia, Clerk’s Office. It was built in 1797 of Flemish bond brick. The Clerk maintained all the County records and logged deeds and marriages. The Office was one large room which was also shared by lawyers and surveyors.
During the Civil War all Virginia Counties were urged to send all their records to Richmond, 60 miles away, for safekeeping. Officials in Lancaster County were slow to respond. When they finally packed up all the records and sent their courier off to Richmond, they heard that Richmond was burning. The courier turned around and brought the records back. While most counties lost all records, Lancaster County’s were saved and date back to the 1600’s.
Almighty God's Word "How to Serve in Harmony With God’s Will"
www.holyspiritspeaks.org/videos/what-service-is-after-god...
Introduction
Almighty God says, "If you wish to serve God’s will, you must first understand what kind of people are beloved by God, what kind of people are loathed by God, what kind of people are made perfect by God, and what kind of people are qualified to serve God. This is the very least that you ought to be equipped with. Moreover, you should know the aims of God's Work
, and the work that God shall do in the here and now. After understanding this, and through the guidance of God's words , you will first enter, and first receive God’s commission. When you actually experience based upon God’s words, and when you truly know God’s work, you will be qualified to serve God. And it is when you serve Him that God enlightens your spiritual eyes, and allows you to have a greater understanding of His work and see it more clearly. When you enter this reality, your experiences will be more profound and real, and all those who have had such experiences will be able to walk among the churches and provide to their brothers and sisters, each side drawing on the strengths of the other to make up for their own deficiencies, and gaining a richer knowledge in their spirits. Only after achieving this effect will you be able to serve God’s will and be made perfect by God in the course of your service."

La Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre, qui héberge prioritairement les étudiants belges et luxembourgeois de l'enseignement supérieur poursuivant leurs études à Paris, est la première maison étrangère décidée sur le site de la Cité internationale universitaire de Paris.
La construction du bâtiment de la Fondation commença le 14 avril 1925, grâce au don généreux fait en 1924 par Jean Hubert et Berthe Biermans-Lapôtre. C'est Armand Guéritte, architecte en chef du gouvernement français, alors responsable du palais de Versailles, qui fut chargé de la conception du bâtiment. La Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre fut inaugurée le 7 novembre 1927.
Jean Hubert Biermans est né en 1864 dans le Limbourg hollandais. Doué de qualités exceptionnelles, il connut une belle réussite professionnelle et financière, après avoir commencé à travailler, dès l'âge de 17 ans, pour un entrepreneur belge des chemins de fer, nommé Lapôtre, dont il épousa la fille, Berthe, en 1907.
Le couple vécut durant 27 ans à Shawinigan au Québec et y fit fortune dans le secteur de la fabrication de la pâte à papier. Son attachement à la Belgique restait entier comme le prouvent de nombreuses actions bienfaitrices. La plus grande action de mécénat de Jean Hubert et de Berthe Biermans-Lapôtre fut incontestablement un don de 15 millions de francs-or à l'Université de Paris, pour permettre la construction de la Fondation qui portera leur nom.
The Fondation Biermans-Lapôtre, which primarily accommodates Belgian and Luxembourg higher education students studying in Paris, was the first foreign house to be built on the site of the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris.
The construction of the Foundation building began on 14 April 1925, thanks to a generous donation made in 1924 by Jean Hubert and Berthe Biermans-Lapôtre. Armand Guéritte, chief architect of the French government, then responsible for the Palace of Versailles, was responsible for the design of the building. The Biermans-Lapôtre Foundation was inaugurated on 7 November 1927.
Jean Hubert Biermans was born in 1864 in Dutch Limburg. He was gifted with exceptional qualities and achieved professional and financial success after starting work at the age of 17 for a Belgian railway contractor named Lapôtre, whose daughter Berthe he married in 1907.
The couple lived for 27 years in Shawinigan, Quebec, where they made their fortune in the pulp and paper industry. His attachment to Belgium remained unbroken, as evidenced by his many charitable deeds. Jean Hubert and Berthe Biermans-Lapôtre's greatest philanthropic action was undoubtedly a donation of 15 million gold francs to the University of Paris, to enable the construction of the Foundation that will bear their name.
Settle in, this is going to be a long one! And you don't have to read it... but I find that sometimes getting the thoughts out of my head is helpful!
I thought this week was going pretty well. I was starting to think that in this messed up world there is still some hope. On the 4th of July, as I have done for several years in the past before Covid, I will be running (jogging, walking, struggling through) a 5K around the Statue of Liberty. I do this for two reasons; because the 4th of July is my favorite holiday and I love being surrounded by people dressed in crazy red, white and blue bedazzled attire in a special place, and more importantly, because the run benefits Special Olympics NJ and gives me a chance to participate in something good. On my fundraising page, I offer my friends, family and co-workers the chance "to be heroes" (that sounds much nicer than begging them for their monetary support of my favorite charity!) and as they have done so many times before, they stepped up and together we will be donating enough money to Special Olympics to send more than 50 Special Olympic athletes to the Fall Games. Some of these people are parents that my kids (now in their 30s) played soccer with back in middle school and I hope it makes them feel as good as it makes me feel to do some good in this world where all the news seems so bad. I could go on and on about this topic, thankfully, I won't!
Next, one of my friends at work had her beloved cat that she had for over 20 years pass away and she opened her home and heart to new kitten from a shelter, only to find out shortly afterward that the poor little thing has a heart defect that will cause it to slowly die of heart failure within 1-2 years, unless she can get it medical help which will cost $8000. Not having that kind of money, she was brave enough to put up a "go fund me" page to help raise the funds to save her kitty. I say "brave enough" because there has been plenty of talk about this being ridiculous... it's just a cat... just get another cat ...who spends that kind of money on a cat, etc... and I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinions and that is fine. Me, I took one look at that kitten's face and hit the DONATE button. And... I was not alone. Within 5 days, she has raised half of the money that she needs... not just from friends and family.... but from complete strangers... and I am thinking... well, look at that... maybe people ARE good afterall. That's the beauty of it, yes... it is a lot of money, but if a LOT of people come together to help, anything is possible... isn't that the way it is supposed to be? People helping others? Hmmmm...Faith in people slowly being restored. YeY!
Two weeks ago I went to the abandoned farm that I love and fixed a barn door that was hanging off the rolling hinges on top, figuring that if I didn't, it would end up breaking off, and I didn't want that to happen, because it's such a good spot for photos and because the old barn has stood for so many years that sometimes it just deserves a little help. So, I dragged a step ladder out there and struggled to get it back on the track. Tonight I went back there again to take another version of a photo that I took a couple of years ago, only to find that someone has now started ripping the barn wood off of the side of the barn. I couldn't even believe it. So, I walked around the back of the barn to see if there was any other damage and that's where I found that they had also dumped a mattress and boxspring. I realize that I do not own this property and technically I am trespassing there as well, but I would never break anything, ruin anything, dump anything.... etc. Last week, I found that someone had spray painted in red "Time to float" on the front of the beautiful old stone farmhouse. I tried to sand that off, and tried to get it off with a wire brush, with no success and will probably have to carefully paint over it if I want to make it go away. So, I am right back to square one, thinking that this world is pretty broken and that the good that is left is not going to be enough to overcome the bad people that are thinking only of themselves or pointing fingers and blaming others and telling them that they are wrong and stupid.... because that's all we hear about.... no one hears about the people that care whether a special needs individual is going to get to experience the thrill of being a part of a team or the people that think that a kitten that is loved deserves to live a healthy life for more than a year or two.... so that's why I am telling you... so you know... that these people are out there... quietly doing good without looking for attention and headlines... and thank God for that! ( I feel a little bit better now. Thanks! )
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
The charge of the Rohirrim was one for me, a all-time favorite scene out of Return of the King. So after planning the build and gathering resources for it, I set out to complete this for the Bricking Bavaria convention the past weekend. This is my most expensive build to date and largest as well.
The MOC includes over 100x figures, 45x horses and a total build size of 96x80 studs. I set out to build the flat plains surrounding Gondor and Minas Tirith, but ended up adding some rocks and vegetation patches to break off the boring landscape. Each Rohirrim soldier is equipped with either a long sword and shield, or a long spear.
King Théoden also leads the charge in the front with his sword and shield. Éomer is not seen in this build as he would be further down the line with his group. On the other side I have the Orcs that are equipped with spears, bow and arrows or mercenary weapons.
The fortified town of Stendal was founded by the first Brandenburg Margrave Albert the Bear and granted Magdeburg rights about 1160. A deed issued by Emperor Heinrich II in 1022, in which the village appears among the possessions of the Michaeliskloster in Hildesheim, is a 12th-century forgery.
Stendal quickly prospered as a center of commerce and trade. The parish of St. Jacobi was founded in the 12th century. The construction of a Franciscan monastery began in 1230. In the 13th century, the Stendal Seafarers' Guild was formed, which traded its own ships in the Baltic and North Sea areas. The oldest documented mention of the church of St. Marien dates back to 1283. Stendal received city walls around 1300 and in 1338 a Latin school was built. The local merchants joined the Hanseatic League in 1358 and purchased the privilege of minting from the Brandenburg margraves in 1369.
Just like in neighboring Tangermünde, the citizens of Stendal rebelled against the beer tax in 1488.

In the 12th century, a Romanesque basilica was built on the site of today's Marienkirche. In the late 14th century, the westwork was extended with the double-tower facade. In 1420 the construction of the Marienkirche began as a late Gothic hall church. Until 1447 the church was vaulted. The church was consecrated in 1447. In the 16th century, the towers were completed. In 1580 an astronomical clock was installed. The Marienkirche was the main parish church of the Hanseatic merchant community and is neighboring the town hall.

A Suffragette poem... Pixievic Feb 2016
Warriors
Deeds not words!
They cried in their protest
Marching on Parliament
Intent on their quest
to the corrupt politicians
who recorded their struggle
but denied them the vote
and left them to juggle
their lives that equalled
less than their brothers
where they had no rights
not even as mothers.
As wives they were thwarted
their wages, their spouses,
they worked long hard hours
and still kept their houses.
Tea on the table,
washing hung out
the children looked after,
to their husbands - devout.
They stood up for their choices
the injustice they faced
were imprisoned & tortured
and fired in disgrace.
Children were taken
away from their mothers
who were labelled as mad,
their opinions were smothered.
Yet still they continued
to rally & fight,
secure in the knowledge
that they deserved rights
that equalled the men
that ruled their world -
So they took up arms
and fists were curled.
When one was killed
that brave young girl
who in front of a horse
her body she hurled.
"Votes for Women"
her banner announced,
so simple & honest
the message pronounced
to hundreds of people
who just stood & stared.
As her breath left her body
the women prepared
to fight their fight,
be true to their cause,
take down the men
and change the laws.
So thank you to those
brave women of old
who did what they did
without being told.
We now have the right
as women, to fight
without risk to our freedom
and stand up for our rights!

"How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world" ~William Shakespeare
Inglis Falls
Known as “the best waterfalls in the area” is the most visited, anytime of year! One of three waterfalls that surround the City of Owen Sound, Inglis Falls is the best known and most visited. Situated in the heart of the 200-hectare Inglis Falls Conservation Area, Inglis Falls is an 18 metre high cascade, created by the Sydenham River meeting the edge of the Niagara Escarpment. The erosive power of the water has carved a deep gorge at the base of the falls. On a clear day you can see down the valley into the City of Owen Sound and out to the Owen Sound harbour.
There is something for everybody; a viewing platform for those unable to see over the stone wall, 7.42 km of trails of various difficulty, access to the Bruce Trail, more than 20 species of ferns, bird watching opportunities, a series of geological potholes, historical remains of a grist mill, washrooms, picnic facilities and visitor information centre.
Historical Information
Inglis Falls is rich in history – starting in 1843 when Peter Inglis immigrated to Canada and settled in this area. In 1845 Inglis purchased a small existing grist mill built two years previously by a Mr. Boyd, and 300 acres of deeded Crown land. It was in 1862 that Inglis replaced the old gristmill with a new four-storey mill that produced flour, bran and shorts (feed for animals).
Other ventures of Inglis’ included building a sawmill a quarter of a mile downstream of the falls. Peter Inglis also built a woollen mill on the eastside of the river on the brink of the falls. Here were manufactured tweeds, flannels and “rainbow” blankets, so called because of the three coloured stripes at each end. The woollen mill was destroyed by fire around 1885 and rebuilt only to burn down again in 1901.
Management of the mill was passed on to Inglis’ oldest son, William A., in 1886. William’s son, Victor, managed the mill until 1932. Eighty-seven years of steady operation under the Inglis family name is an amazing record which very few industries in this area of the province can surpass or equal.
In 1932, the property was obtained by the City of Owen Sound for water rights. The mill was idle for two years, until purchased by Emil Henkel. He ran the mill until 1945 when a fire completely destroyed it.
In 1960 the former North Grey Region Conservation Authority (now the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority) acquired what is presently the Inglis Falls Conservation Area. Today all that remains of that earlier industrial scene are the family home, a stone building, the silent millstones and the enduring beauty of Inglis Falls.
"The Doom of the Noldor" captures the tragic saga of a once-proud elven kin, whose fates are sealed by their own deeds and desires. Their story unfolds in a series of poignant images, chronicling the Noldor's fall from grace and their relentless pursuit of redemption through ages of Middle-earth. Each frame is a silent testament to their valor, their sorrows, and the inexorable curse that overshadows their epic journey.
Poem:
Beneath the starlit dome they stood,
Proud Noldor, fair and wise and good,
Their eyes alight with fervent flame,
Yet doomed to mourn their kingdom's name.
For in their hearts, a secret fire,
Of fierce revenge and dark desire.
Against the dark, their swords they raised,
But in their kin, discord was blazed.
The jewels they sought, with lustful eyes,
Became the root of their demise.
The oath they swore, so dire, so deep,
Ensured their grief was theirs to keep.
Through battles fought and kinships torn,
Their fate was sealed, their futures worn.
The Noldor marched to grievous tunes,
Under the watch of silent moons.
Haiku:
Shadows of the Noldor,
Fate's heavy chain, honor lost,
Dusk falls on the brave.

Recital: God created the heavens and earth and all things, creating a living environment for man. All things reinforce and depend on each other. Under such a principle, man’s living environment exists and lasts in protection. With such a living environment, man can live and multiply, can live and multiply.
1. For thousands of years, the creek flows in such a quiet, quiet way at the foot of the mountain. Directed by the mountain, the creek returns to its hometown. It merges into a river, and then into a sea, into a sea. Thanks to the watching of the mountain, the creek has never got lost. The creek and the mountain reinforce, neutralize, and depend on each other.
2. For thousands of years, the gale has never changed, changed its habit of roaring, roaring. As usual, it often carries, often carries sand and stones, “visiting” and threatening, threatening the mountain. Yet the mountain has never broken down, never broken down the middle. The mountain and the gale reinforce, neutralize, and depend on each other.
3. For thousands of years, the billow has never rested, never stopped its footsteps of expansion. It howls to the mountain again and again. Yet the mountain has never moved a bit due to, due to its howling. It watches the sea, and thus all things within can live and multiply. Ah … ah… The mountain and the billow reinforce, neutralize, and depend on each other. The mountain and the billow reinforce, neutralize, and depend on each other.

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of 'tea'
Earl Grey tea is a tea blend which has been flavoured with oil of bergamot. The rind's fragrant oil is added to black tea to give Earl Grey its unique taste.
Traditionally, Earl Grey was made from black teas such as Chinese keemun, and therefore intended to be served without milk.
However, tea companies have since begun to offer Earl Grey made from stronger teas such as Ceylons, which are better suited to the addition of milk or cream. Some blend the tea with lapsang souchong tea which lends a smoky character. Other varieties have been introduced as well, such as green or oolong. (Wikipedia)
Charles Grey, the Second Earl Grey (1764-1845). Also known as Viscount Howick, the Second Earl Grey was the UK Prime Minister from November 1830 to July 1834.
Legend has it that the Earl saved the life of a Chinese man’s son while aboard an envoy to China. As a reward, the Mandarin man gifted Charles Grey with the infamous bergamot tea recipe. And the rest, as they say, is history.
It’s the most convenient option given his name, position, and the date of his stewardship. However, his involvement is a bit of a, well, grey area – excuse the pun.
Apparently, the Earl liked the tea so much that he asked his tea dealer (unnamed) to recreate it in his name. And thus, Earl Grey tea, as we know it, was born.
But, there’s little to no evidence to back up this claim. Not to mention that it’s highly unlikely that the Earl ever visited China. After all, the two countries weren’t on the best of terms.
Then there’s the bergamot fruit itself, which is primarily grown in the province of Reggio di Calabria in Italy, not China!
There’s also some debate as to whether this Chinese Mandarin man was a nobleman, dignitary, or teamaker. Given the other holes in this story, however, I guess it doesn’t entirely matter.
Other contradictory accounts of the story exist. Some claiming it was, in fact, one of the Earl’s employees. Who, while in service to the Earl, did the good deed. Ergo, it was the Earl by proxy.
This version of events is a little more plausible. And, it was later backed up by one of the Earl’s ancestors in a 1994 interview with the Daily Telegraph. Albeit more of an anecdote than a reliable history of Earl Grey tea with documents to back it up. (My Earl Grey)
The Black Deeds of the Kremlin, vol. 1 is a 1953 book of testimonies published in Toronto by the Ukrainian Association of Victims of Russian Communist Terror, with an introduction by Prof. George W. Simpson of the University of Saskatchewan. I found this book in my late parents' house but have yet to read more than a few pages. The stories are too overwhelming.
Crime and Punishment is a masterpiece of Russian literature by Feodor Dostoevsky.
