My friend owns a restaurant in a building that used to house a dentist's office upstairs. It's been gone for decades but some remnants of the business still remained, including these X-Ray developing instructions.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) was established in 1853 when Lieutenant-Governor La Trobe provided 10 acres of land in Yarra Park to the Melbourne Cricket Club. In the intervening 150 years the MCG has developed into one of the largest, most recognisable and modern sports stadiums in the world.
Of the little remaining pre-1992 fabric, approximately 30% of the wrought iron fence around the playing arena, dating from 1884, is in situ and is a significant aspect of the place.
The MCG is the home of the Melbourne Cricket Club, the first cricket club in Victoria and a major contributor to the development of cricket in Victoria and Australia from the middle of the nineteenth century. The Melbourne Cricket Club organised the inaugural inter-colonial first-class cricket match between Victoria and New South Wales on the MCG in 1856. The first test match between Australia and England was also played on the MCG in 1877.
In 1858 Tom Wills and other members of the Melbourne Cricket Club devised the rules of the Melbourne Football Club, which became the codified rules of Australian Rules football. Football was played on the MCG for the first time in 1859 and since the late nineteenth century the MCG has been the symbolic home of football, first in Victoria and, with the establishment of the Australian Football League, in Australia as a whole.
The MCG has become associated with many of the finest sporting achievements of Australia’s, and many of the world’s greatest athletes. It was the site of the 1956 Olympic Games, the first in the southern hemisphere.
This world class stadium received Australia’s highest heritage honour when it was included in the National Heritage List on 26 December 2005.
The Melbourne Cricket Club arranged the first inter-colonial cricket match at the MCG in 1856.
Two years later, members of the club helped develop the codified rules for Australian football.
In 1877, the first cricket Test match between Australia and England was held at the MCG.
It was the main stage for the 1956 Olympic Games. These ‘Friendly Games’ left an enduring legacy for Australia and the Olympic movement.

Mr Cyprien Bazikuvuga is a community health worker in the village of Kabuga. Cyprien is using a 'tumbling E chart' to screen a person for their distance vision. If a person reads to line 6 or less in both eyes then they may need eyeglasses and require a pin-hole test.
Revolutionary new adjustable specs invented in Britain will help bring 20/20 vision to hundreds of thousands of people in the world’s poorest countries.
UK charity Vision For A Nation has tested two new ‘adjustable lense’ glasses, developed by an Oxford firm, alongside traditional spectacles and eye tests. The glasses have fluid-filled lenses for which the focus can be adjusted by turning a dial, meaning there is no need for opticians or costly prescription glasses.
The UK’s Department for International Development has invested £250,000 in Vision For A Nation to scale up the project across Rwanda, helping the charity to deliver the new adjustable specs as well as thousands of regular glasses to those in need. The country has a population of 10 million people but just 14 eye doctors, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with entirely preventable poor eyesight.

What does the future hold. For these, hopefully some juicy grapes that will be picked and eaten. The growth of plants is not unlike the growth of our students and children and grandchildren. Incremental. For those us who are now principals at the elementary level (as I was, though not now) these days see the start of school and the arrival of the kindergarten students, many of whom will will watch move through the classes for many years until they head to middle or high school. For the classroom teacher, in a small district like ours, some of the students they enroll as school starts this year will be children they have watched grow for as many as three years. For those of us who are parents and still provide help, assistance, guidelines to our adult children, the time has flown as we have watched them grow and develop. It is not only about simply watching the growth though, there is a lot about nurturing and caring. As I look forward to my work with teachers and students and my own staff over the next number of months, I hope to see wonderful changes occur.

MALAYSIAN INVASION MMA FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP LAUNCHED
Tune Talk’s initiative to develop world’s fastest growing sport amongst Malaysians
KUALA LUMPUR, 6 FEBRUARY 2013 – In acknowledgement of the rapidly growing popularity of the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) as a mainstream sport across Asia and globally, Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid today launched the Malaysian Invasion MMA Fighting Championship (MIMMA FC) with the aim of further developing and promoting the sport amongst Malaysian youths.
Offering cash prizes totaling RM150,000, MIMMA FC is going to be the first professionally managed pan-Malaysian amateur fighting championship with around 500 participants expected at the two-day preliminary Tryouts to be held in Kuala Lumpur 23-24 February 2013.
The amateur championship is open to all Malaysians aged 18 and above who are medically fit.
They will be fighting it out in the Flyweight (up to 56.7 kg), Bantamweight (up to 61.2 kg), Featherweight (65.8 kg), Lightweight (70.3 kg), Welterweight (up to 77.1 kg), Middleweight (up to 83.9 kg) and Light Heavyweight (up to 93 kg) weight classes.
Participants will be assessed for their striking, grappling and sparring capabilities – the three key skills required for the sport which combines multiple martial arts disciplines like karate, taekwondo, silat, muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, judo and Brazilian jiujitsu, into a single competition. Fighters will battle it out against each other inside a specially-designed 900 sq. ft. metal enclosure and presided by professional referees and judges.
From the Tryouts, 112 participants will proceed to the Ladder Match round that will take place 23-24 March 2012. This will be followed by the Quarter Finals on 20-21 April 2013 and Semi Finals on 18 May 2013. The MIMMA FC Champion for each weight class will be crowned at the Grand Finals is scheduled for 15 June 2013. All the rounds will be held in Kuala Lumpur.
MIMMA FC is the brainchild of YB Khairy Jamaluddin and Tune Talk CEO Jason Lo, who had previously partnered for the hugely popular and successful reality football talent search show, ‘MyTeam’.
MIMMA FC co-creator YB Khairy Jamaluddin said: “We would like to see more Malaysians get involved and excel in sports and MIMMA FC is a great avenue for youths out there to prove their skills and capabilities. Being the fastest growing sport in the world, it is crucial that we nurture and develop local talents in MMA from now and we hope to see more Malaysian MMA Champions at the regional and global levels.”
Tune Talk CEO Jason Lo said: “We are organising MIMMA FC to cater to the rapidly growing interest towards MMA in Malaysia. Through this championship we seek to unearth amateur talents from the grassroots who can potentially be groomed to become professionals. MIMMA FC will be an excellent platform for all MMA enthusiasts who have been training and participating in MMA activities. MIMMA FC will enable them to compete in a professionally-managed championship with proper rules and regulations, which ensures safety despite the aggressive nature of the sport.”
The launch of MIMMA FC here today was attended by scores of gym owners and MMA trainees in strong support of the initiative. Also present was ONE Fighting Championship (ONE FC) Senior Commercial Director, Maja Grimnitz.
“Organising MIMMA FC is a natural continuity to Tune Talk’s sponsorship of the ONE Fighting Championship that just concluded to a roaring success last Saturday. The packed Stadium Putra where the ONE FC was held is a clear testimony to the popularity of MMA amongst Malaysians. We trust MIMMA FC will receive similarly generous support from the community and we look forward to corporate partnerships and sponsorships to ensure an even bigger success,” added Jason.

Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States
The Audubon Park Historic District, located in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, is a cohesive landscape of 19 large apartment houses and one free-standing duplex house indicative of the area’s transformation in the early 20th century into a densely developed residential neighborhood. The boundaries of the historic district encompass all or part of five blocks extending from West 155th Street to West 158th Street, from Broadway and Edward M. Morgan Place to Riverside Drive West. The district complements the Audubon Terrace Historic District that adjoins it to the southeast.
Audubon Park is named for John James Audubon (1785-1851), the famous naturalist and illustrator of birds, who purchased the picturesque estate overlooking the Hudson River in 1841, shortly after publishing what would be his most famous work, Birds in America. Washington Heights was still largely secluded at the time, comprised primarily of farms and woodlands, and the location of country estates for a succession of wealthy families starting in the late 18th century. The roughly 20-acre estate came to be known as Audubon Park in the 1860s when Audubon’s widow began selling off parcels of the estate for the development of free-standing single family homes.
Following the arrival of the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue subway line in 1904, Washington Heights rapidly developed with apartment buildings and accompanying commercial structures. The apartment houses within the historic district were constructed between 1905 and 1932 and were marketed as modern and elegant addresses in the tradition of the grand apartment houses in the neighborhoods of the Upper West Side and Morningside Heights to the south.
They were generally given names intended to recall the area’s history and impart a sense of stature – such as the Grinnell, named for an early local estate owner, or Hispania Hall, a reference to the nearby Hispanic Society of America – or names evoking romantic and exotic associations – such as the Cragmoor, the Rhinecliff, or the Cortez. Among the architects who designed buildings in the historic district are several local firms well-known for their work on apartment houses, including George F. Pelham, Schwartz & Gross, George & Edward Blum, Denby & Nute, and Neville & Bagge.
The apartment houses range in height from five to 13 stories, with several of the structures, such as the Sutherland at 611 West 158th Street designed by Emery Roth and the Riviera at 790 Riverside Drive, exuberantly executed in the Beaux-Arts and Renaissance Revival styles and featuring light-colored materials including white, gray, and beige brick, terra cotta, and limestone. Elaborate cornices are generally of pressed metal and sometimes incorporate green Mission-style tile, such as the Renaissance Revival style Grinnell at 800 Riverside Drive and the Mediterranean Revival style apartment house at 807 Riverside Drive.
Other styles seen within the historic district include the Medieval Revival style Kannawah at 614 West 157th Street, which features elaborate molded terra-cotta window surrounds, stylized pinnacles, and keystones, and the Arts and Crafts style Vauxhall at 780 Riverside Drive, which features creative use of faience tile friezes and decorative brickwork. Along the west side of Riverside Drive and along Riverside Drive West sit several fortress-like beige-brick apartment buildings designed in a Medieval Revival style, featuring castellated parapet walls and molded terra-cotta arched entryways.
Another distinctive feature of the large apartment houses of the historic district are the complex floor plans, often either U- or H-shaped, or incorporating multiple wings allowing for courtyards and maximum light and ventilation. In contrast to the larger structures of the historic district sits the duplex house at 809 and 811 Riverside Drive designed in a Mediterranean Revival style with a red-brick facade, gabled roof of green Mission-style tile, and one-story solaria, built in 1920 to the designs of Moore & Landsiedel. Intended as a model residence to showcase the development strategy of wholesaler Nathan Berler, the duplex, which retains all of its historic fabric, was apparently the only example built.
The vast majority of the buildings within the historic district are highly intact, retaining the vibrant architectural details and character that attracted residents to the area a century ago. The curving streets and dramatic vistas that result from the hilly topography continue to define the neighborhood as a distinctive enclave of apartment buildings with a powerful sense of place.
Taxpayer’s Association for free, so long as the group could guarantee its removal by November 30, 1931 – the date the Brandts would acquire title to the property. As the deadline loomed, the Brandts feared the home would not be removed in time and demanded a $50,000 guarantee, a large sum given that the Taxpayers’ Association had barely succeeded in raising the $25,000 necessary for the physical removal of the house. On December 2, 1931, the Brandt brothers began demolition of the Audubon house. Against all odds, on December 6, 1931, Harold W. Decker, a Bronx ornithologist and head of a new committee to save the house, announced that a site had been provided by the City at Riverside Drive and West 161st Street. Decker asserted that despite the removal of the roof and porches, the house could still be restored if the necessary funds were raised. Although Decker succeeded in getting the house moved to the new site, it has since been demolished. In 1931, 765 Riverside Drive, the last building constructed within the Audubon Park Historic District, was erected on the site of the house of the man for whom the district is named.
The Buildings of Audubon Park
The apartment houses within the Audubon Park Historic District were constructed between 1905 and 1931 and were marketed as modern and elegant addresses for upper middle-class tenants in the tradition of the grand apartment houses in the neighborhoods of the Upper West Side and Morningside Heights to the south. Among the architects who designed buildings within the historic district are several local firms well-known for their work on apartment houses, including George F. Pelham, Schwartz & Gross, George & Edward Blum, Denby & Nute, and Neville & Bagge. Pelham is credited with the design of the greatest number of buildings within the historic district, totaling four in all, and was also responsible for the designs of several others whose plans were later abandoned.
By the turn of the century, buildings of nine stories or greater were required by the municipal fire code to be fireproof and were thus more expensive to construct. Builders were often more willing to invest extra capital on such buildings in order to make them more attractive to residents who could afford the higher rents needed to offset the increased costs, while also utilizing prefabricated and less expensive materials, such as terra cotta, wherever possible. The apartment houses within the historic district range in height from five to 13 stories, with several of the structures, such as the Sutherland at 611 West 158th Street, designed by Emery Roth, and the Riviera at 790 Riverside Drive, designed by Rouse & Goldstone, exuberantly executed in the Beaux-Arts and Renaissance Revival styles and featuring light-colored materials including white, gray, and beige brick, terra cotta, and limestone. Elaborate cornices are generally of
The original funds raised by WHAT for removal and restoration of the home had been returned upon failure of that group’s agreement with the Brandt brothers. The drama surrounding the proposed removal of Audubon’s home received a great deal of coverage in the New York Times in November and December 1931. Although the demise of the Audubon house remains somewhat of a mystery, it is likely that the funds necessary for restoration were never raised and that, without a roof (which had been removed when demolition began by the Brandt brothers), the house simply succumbed to the elements. Information in this section is based on the following sources: Adams, 175; Thomas E. Norton and Jerry E. Patterson, Living it Up: A Guide to the Named Apartment Houses of New York (New York: Atheneum, 1984) 29; The World's New York Apartment House Album (New York: New York World, 1910), 14-XLIII, 14-XLIV.

pressed metal and sometimes incorporate green Mission-style tile, such as the Renaissance Revival style Grinnell at 800 Riverside Drive, designed by Schwartz & Gross, and the Mediterranean Revival style apartment house at 807 Riverside Drive, designed by George F. Pelham. Other styles within the historic district include the Medieval Revival style, seen at the Kannawah at 614 West 157th Street, designed by Joseph C. Cocker and featuring elaborate molded terra-cotta window surrounds, stylized pinnacles, and keystones, and the Arts and Crafts style, seen at the Vauxhall at 780 Riverside Drive, designed by George & Edward Blum and featuring creative use of faience tile friezes and colorful, decorative brickwork. Along the west side of Riverside Drive and along Riverside Drive West sit the fortress-like beige-brick apartment buildings designed in a Medieval Revival style by George G. Miller and Schaefer & Rutkins, which feature castellated parapet walls and molded terra-cotta arched entryways.
Another distinctive feature of the large apartment houses of the historic district are the complex floor plans, often either U- or H-shaped, or incorporating multiple wings allowing for courtyards and maximum light and ventilation. Many of them, including the triangularly-shaped Grinnell and the multi-faceted Riviera, were able to boast configurations containing “all outside rooms.” Both the Rhinecliff at 788 Riverside Drive and the Vauxhall, which abut the low-scale buildings of the Audubon Terrace cultural center, were also able to tout “permanent light and air,” assured by the presence of the adjacent museum buildings. Commanding views of both the Hudson and the Palisades were also noted foremost in advertisements for many of the buildings, including the Sutherland and the Vauxhall.
The apartment interiors were generally arranged into suites that allowed for a separation of public and private rooms. As noted in the entry for the Grinnell in The World's New York Apartment House Album published in 1910, “the rooms are all well proportioned and carefully groomed to provide for convenience, privacy and comfort.” In a number of buildings, including the Grinnell and the Rhinecliff, separate entrances for servants were available in larger suites. Laundry was often provided on-site, either in the basements or in rooftop penthouses. A number of the apartment houses even provided a telephone in every suite. Special care was generally given to the design of building lobbies as well. The brick and faience tiles utilized on the Vauxhall’s exterior, for example, are repeated in its lobby where a large brick fireplace is ornamented with colorful tiles made by the American Encaustic Tile Company. The lobby also features a molded plaster ceiling which repeats some of the stylized foliate patterns characteristic of the Blum brothers’ work.
In contrast to the larger structures of the historic district sits the duplex house at 809 and 811 Riverside Drive, designed in a Mediterranean Revival style with a red-brick facade, gabled roof of green Mission-style tile, and one-story solaria, built in 1920 to the designs of Moore & Landsiedel. Intended as a model residence to showcase the development strategy of wholesaler Nathan Berler, the duplex, which retains all of its historic fabric, was apparently the only example built. A stepped sidewalk in front of the duplex at the acute intersection of Riverside

Drive with West 158th Streets wraps around a granite pedestal and helps pedestrians navigate the steep incline between the two roadways (see Figure 39).
The apartment houses within the historic district were generally given names intended to recall the area’s history, impart a sense of stature, and distinguish them from similar apartment houses being constructed in other parts of the city. Like the surrounding neighborhood, Audubon Hall at 3765 Broadway was named for John James Audubon, while the Grinnell honored the legacy of George Bird Grinnell and his family. Hispania Hall at 3757 Broadway is a reference to the Hispanic Society of America, one of the esteemed institutions of the nearby cultural center (now in the Audubon Terrace Historic District). The Goya, the Velasquez, and the Cortez, with their vague references to Spanish culture, were probably similarly looking to capitalize on their proximity to the renowned institution. Other names were meant to evoke romantic and exotic associations – such as the Cragmoor at 801 Riverside Drive, the Rhinecliff, and the Kannawah. As apartment house living became more common, the trend of naming buildings decreased in popularity. The later buildings constructed within the Audubon Park Historic District are generally not named.
Subsequent History
In the years following the First World War, unfavorable conditions caused by inadequate enforcement of the Tenement House Law and the opportunism of real estate interests fostered a movement referred to in the New York Times as the “tenant syndicate movement.” The movement brought about the conversion of several large rental buildings on the Upper East and Upper West Sides of Manhattan and in Brooklyn, into tenant-owned, co-operative apartment houses. Several of the buildings within the Audubon Park Historic District, including the Vauxhall and the Rhinecliff, became tenant owned during the 1920s in what was described in advertisements as a “novel and interesting plan.”
By the 1930s, the U.S. federal government was entrenched in bail-out efforts designed to assist the struggling building and financial industries affected by the Great Depression. New policies helped encourage city residents to move out of older, aging neighborhoods into the more modern apartment buildings rising in the outer boroughs of the city and into new single-family homes in the suburbs of Westchester County and Long Island. Consequently, the real estate market was growing increasingly intolerant of aging structures such as “old law” tenements, and “modernity” became a key element to economic survival. Advertisements for the buildings within the historic district began touting “modernized apartments” and reduced rents around this time. By the 1940s, apartments in the Vauxhall were being advertised as “entirely rebuilt with new bathrooms, kitchenettes, dressing rooms and dining foyers” and “thoroughly modernized throughout.” Another means of modernizing was to carve out smaller apartments from large

suites to accommodate more modern living expectations. Large, multi-room suites, once the pride of the historic district, were altered into apartments of a significantly smaller size. In 1938, a large-scale remodeling of two wings within the Riviera, for example, converted 52 suites ranging from seven to nine rooms into 92 suites of two, three, four, and six rooms. The smaller apartments generally rented more quickly. As noted in a 1941 New York Times article:
The significance of this renting response…should not be underestimated, for it indicates how, at a comparatively small outlay, it is possible to transform obsolete $115 per month quarters into rentable facilities which are actually being sought for.
The earliest residents of the apartment buildings within the historic district were often immigrants or the children of immigrants from a wide variety of eastern and western European countries, including Germany, Ireland, England, Russia, Hungary, Finland and Austria. In Harlem and in Washington Heights, African-American tenants generally found a somewhat less hospitable environment, with many of the area’s buildings refusing to admit them until around the 1930s. It is unknown, however, whether discriminatory rental practices were in place within the buildings of the historic district. Today, Audubon Park is a thriving and diverse community, home to a large number of immigrants, many from the Dominican Republic, as well as long-time residents of African-American and Hispanic heritage.
By the early 1990s, Audubon Park had become plagued with drug-related crime and poverty, with the stretch of West 157th Street between Broadway and Riverside Drive turned into “a no man’s land” where drugs were processed and sold freely. Owing to the perseverance of long-time neighborhood residents and the hard work of New York City law enforcement authorities, there is little trace of the urban decline of the previous decade in the vibrant Audubon Park neighborhood of the present.
As for the buildings of the Audubon Park Historic District, the vast majority of the apartment houses that comprise the district remain highly intact, retaining the striking architectural details and character that attracted residents to the area a century ago. The curving streets and dramatic vistas that result from the hilly topography continue to define the neighborhood as a distinctive enclave of apartment buildings with a powerful sense of place.

Flamenco, in its strictest sense, is an art form based on the various folkloric music traditions of southern Spain, developed within the gitano subculture of the region of Andalusia, but also having a historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia. In a wider sense, it is a portmanteau term used to refer to a variety of both contemporary and traditional musical styles typical of southern Spain. Flamenco is closely associated to the gitanos of the Romani ethnicity who have contributed significantly to its origination and professionalization. However, its style is uniquely Andalusian and flamenco artists have historically included Spaniards of both gitano and non-gitano heritage.
The oldest record of flamenco music dates to 1774 in the book Las Cartas Marruecas by José Cadalso. The development of flamenco over the past two centuries is well documented: "the theatre movement of sainetes (one-act plays) and tonadillas, popular song books and song sheets, customs, studies of dances, and toques, perfection, newspapers, graphic documents in paintings and engravings. ... in continuous evolution together with rhythm, the poetic stanzas, and the ambiance.”
On 16 November 2010, UNESCO declared flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Developed originally by British Leyland in order to claw back a hold on the American market, the Rover Sterling/800 range was to become the company's top of the range model, replacing the 10 year old Rover SD1.
The Sterling is similar in many ways to the Honda Legend, but was not the first BL car to use a Japanese model as a spiritual template, being preceded by the Triumph Acclaim and the Rover 200.
The original styling of the Sterling was based largely on that of the SD1 with the sweeping light clusters that were curved around the front of the body. This was later revised with the inclusion of a grille as seen on this example here.
In total, 371,000 Sterling/800's were built, an estimated 33,000 being sold in the United States as simply the 'Sterling'.
The cars sadly were not a major success in the United States, and were pulled out of the market in 1991, but the Sterling/800 in Europe remained highly popular and continued in production until the introduction of the Rover 75 in 1998.
Today there are still plenty of Sterlings and 800's to be found on the roads of Britain, and even in the United States the Sterling derivatives have garnered a cult following due to their obscure nature, and that they were the last truly British cars to be sold in the USA outside of companies under foreign ownership such as Jaguar, Rolls Royce and Bentley.
