Original Caption: From 1923 to 1970, some form of the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in every session of Congress but was generally held up in committee and so never put to a vote. Representative Martha Griffiths's petition forced the legislation out of committee so that it could be considered by the House, which passed it. The Senate subsequently attempted to add provisions exempting women from the draft, effectively preventing the bill from passing Congress that session.

Merknad: Trygve Gjervan var vernepliktig og tjenestegjorde i Infanteriregiment 12 og holdt nøytralitetsvakt ved grensen mot Finland da tyskerne invaderte Norge. Gjervan og IR 12 ble så sendt til kampene ved Narvik under general Fleischer. Mot slutten av krigen var Gjervan reservepoliti, og dokumentet har antagelig sin opprinnelse derfra.

I remember from childhood that linen was something that grandma ironed with starch and it had to be 'crisp' .... long memory! ;o)
I uploaded a second image which is maybe not as good a macro - but it does show some of the joke text. It is a set of musical 'definitions'.

Print inside the military document (Militärpass) for the Order of Queen Tamara.
The Order of Queen Tamara was a Georgian military decoration granted to members of the Georgian Legion and of the German Caucasus Expedition who fought in Georgia after 4 November 1918. The official criterion, proclaimed by General Zakhari Mdivani, the Georgian Minister of War, stated, "For merits in Georgia herewith all officers and enlisted men of the German troops in the Caucasus, which remained in Georgia after November 4, 1918, have the right to wear the Order of Saint Tamara.
Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He was born in India, which inspired much of his work. He is most famous for ''The Jungle Book (1894)'', If (1895) and Kim (1901). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story. Kipling was one of the most popular writers in the United Kingdom in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Henry James said: ''Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known.''
The Montblanc Writers Edition takes its main inspiration from Kipling's "The Jungle Book". The overall shape is inspired by the Ankus of ''the King's Ankus'' story from the second jungle book. The champagne tone gold coated skeleton overlay on the cap (monkey) is inspired by the story ''Koa's hunting'' from The Jungle Book, which is a short story featuring Mowgli and the monkeys. The pattern on the barrel depicts tecture of a tiger, which refers to Shere Kahn. The ''jungle'' green colour is inspired by the cover of the book's first U.S. edition, with the clip taking inspiration from the wolf pack. The engraving of cold lairs (an abondoned human city from the Jungle Book) on the cap is inspired by the city Chittogarph which Kipling visited. The cap top is finished with the Montblanc emblem in mother of pearl and the edition is limited to 1895 pieces worldwide as a reference to the year 1895 when the poem ''If'' was written as a tribute to Leander Starr Jameson. The 18kt gold nib is engraved with an elephant as a reminder of the cover of the Jungle Book.

Rudyard Kipling was one of the most popular writers of his era, and his novel Kim, first published in 1901, has become one of his most well-known nonjuvenile works.
The novel takes place at a time contemporary to the book’s publication; its setting is India under the British Empire. The title character is a boy of Irish descent who is orphaned and grows up independently in the streets of India, taken care of by a “half-caste” woman, a keeper of an opium den. Kim, an energetic and playful character, although full-blooded Irish, grows up as a “native” and acquires the ability to seamlessly blend into the many ethnic and religious groups of the Indian subcontinent. When he meets a wandering Tibetan lama who is in search of a sacred river, Kim becomes his follower and proceeds on a journey covering the whole of India. Kipling’s account of Kim’s travels throughout the subcontinent gave him opportunity to describe the many peoples and cultures that made up India, and a significant portion of the novel is devoted to such descriptions, which have been both lauded as magical and visionary and derided as stereotypical and imperialistic.
Kim eventually comes upon the army regiment that his father had belonged to and makes the acquaintance of the colonel. Colonel Creighton recognizes Kim’s great talent for blending into the many diverse cultures of India and trains him to become a spy and a mapmaker for the British army. The adventures that Kim undergoes as a spy, his endearing relationship with the lama, and the skill and craftsmanship of Kipling’s writing have all caused this adventurous and descriptive—if controversial—novel to persist as a minor classic of historical English literature.
Kim Summary
Chapter 1
The novel Kim by Rudyard Kipling takes place in British India in the 1880s and 1890s. The novel opens with the introduction of the title character: Kim is a thirteen-year-old boy of Irish heritage who has been orphaned in India and raised by an opium den keeper in the city of Lahore, amid the myriad cultures of India. Because of the ability he has developed to blend in seamlessly among many different cultures through language and his broad knowledge of customs, Kim is known to his acquaintances as Friend of All the World.
Kim meets a Tibetan lama—a Buddhist—who has come to India in search of the Holy River that sprang from the arrow of the Buddha and which promises Enlightenment to its believers. The River proves elusive; even the learned museum curator at Lahore knows nothing of its location. Kim learns that the lama is traveling alone, as his chela, or follower and servant, died in the previous city. Seeing that the lama is an old man in need of assistance, Kim, dressed in the manner of a Hindu beggar child, agrees to be the lama’s new chela and accompany the lama on his quest. He informs his friend and sometime guardian, Mahbub Ali, a wellknown Afghan horse trader, that he will be leaving Lahore with the lama, and he agrees to carry some vague documents from Ali to an Englishman in Umballa as a favor. However, later that night Kim observes two sinister strangers searching Ali’s belongings. Realizing that his favor to Ali smacks of danger, he and the lama, who remains ignorant of Kim’s secret dealings, depart early for the road.
Chapter 2
On the train to Umballa, Kim and the lama meet a Hindu farmer and several other characters all representing an array of customs, languages, and religions from all over India, illustrating—as Kipling will often make a point of doing—the diversity of peoples that make up India’s native population. Upon arriving in Umballa, Kim secretly seeks out the home of the Englishman—whom he discovers to be a colonel in the army—and delivers Ali’s documents. He overhears word of an impending war on the border and realizes that Ali’s documents were directly related to this development.
Chapters 3–4
The next day, Kim and the lama proceed to the outskirts of Umballa in search of the River, where they accidentally trespass in a farmer’s garden. He curses them until he realizes that the lama is a holy man. Kim is angry at the farmer’s abuses, but the lama teaches him not to be judgmental, saying, “There is no pride among such who follow the Middle Way.” In the evening they are entertained by the headmaster and priest of a village. Kim, who loves to play jokes and games, pretends he is a prophet and “forsees” a great war with eight thousand troops heading to the northern border, drawing on what he had heard in Umballa. An old Indian soldier, who had fought on the British side in the Great Mutiny of 1857, calls Kim’s claims to question until Kim makes an accurate description of the colonel—which convinces the soldier of his authenticity.
The old soldier, with renewed respect, accompanies Kim and the lama the next morning to the Grand Trunk Road. During their journey, the lama preaches to the soldier the virtues of maintaining detachment from worldly items, emotions, and actions in order to attain Enlightenment; however, when the lama goes out of his way to entertain a small child with a song, the soldier teases him for showing affection. It is the first evidence of the lama’s truly human struggle with maintaining distance from his human emotions.
Eventually, the small party comes upon the Grand Trunk Road, a fifteen-hundred-mile-long route constructed by the East India Company that connected east Calcutta, East Bengal, and Agra. A vivid, detailed description of the masses of travelers is given, including descriptions of several different religious sects, including Sansis, Aklai Sihks, Hindus, Muslims, and Jains, as well as the various wedding and funeral processions marching along the road. This section provides yet another instance of Kipling’s travelogue-type digressions to paint a vivid picture of India for his British and American readership. Kim is utterly delighted by the masses of people traveling before his eyes. The lama, however, remains deep in meditation and does not acknowledge the spectacle of life surrounding him.
In the late evening, Kim, utilizing his sharp wit and cunning, procures the aid of a rich old widow from Kulu, herself of a sharp and salty tongue, who is traveling in a royal procession from the northern lands to her daughter in the south. She offers food, shelter, and care for the lama in exchange for the holy man’s charms and prayers interceding for the birth of many future grandsons for her.
Chapter 5
While resting along the Grand Trunk Road, Kim comes upon an English army regiment, which bears a green flag with a red bull on it. Since he was a young child, Kim had been told by his guardian that his father—a former soldier—had said that a red bull in a green field would be Kim’s salvation. With excitement at having found the sign of the bull, he sneaks into the barracks to find out more information, only to be captured by the Protestant chaplain, Mr. Bennett. Together with Father Victor, the Catholic chaplain, he discovers the personal documents that Kim carries with him everywhere, which reveal him to be not a Hindu beggar but an Irish boy—and the son of Kimball O’Hara, who himself had been a member of this same regiment. Seeing that he is white and the...
Pages from the earliest telephone directory I have, pre-GPO, as issued by the National Telephone Company. The Rochdale and other local exchanges fell within the Bolton Area. As expected the entries are mostly commercial with few residential numbers in existance at the time so the Heywood numbers are mostly those of local companies - many mills, shops and doctors. The reason I scanned this is to do with the c1950 picture of Heywood town centre I posted, and Wadey's comments - amazingly the Freemasons' Arms pub had a phone - under the name of W P Binns, telephone number 0195. Under the tail end of Rochdale's entries a few of interest. Turner, Samuel - and the infamous asbestos company that was to carry their name. Tweedales & Smalley's were major manufacturers of cotton mill machinery, based in Castleon, Rochdale as were Whipp & Bourne. I recall, as a child, Whatmough's lovely shop on Drake St - and the Yorkshire Penny Bank (on Yorkshire St) were I had my very first bank account in 1962!
I tried to use fieldnote only through last week, as experiment. That is, increasing weight for virtual memory in my life. After a week of cumulation, the contents are copied from the fieldnote to indexcards.
This monday, I wrote 78 cards this time, and it takes whole one day! It was difficult to keep concentration because it wasn't fun at all. It was kind of torture. I cannot say this is productive. :(
Writing card of a certain moment is 'Live', on going, progressive. That's why writing indexcard is fun for me. And it keeps me to be productive.
Through this experiment, I found the best way is to write card as possible, as I did. Fieldnote (virtual memory) must be really temporal.
If I have both, fieldnote and card, and I'm possible to write a card (e.g. office, cafe), I must choose to write a card. Fieldnote must be use as emergency (e.g. in a train, bus). A small virtual memory keeps the system functional.
# It reminds me of tip for Mac OS 7-9. Reducing the size of virtual memory, reducing the frequency of crash.

The Robert Pocock Herbarium Project was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and supported by the Kent Wildlife Trust and the Natural History Museum. Its aim was to search the Natural History Museum herbaria to find the c240 plant specimens collected by Robert Pocock of Gravesend in the early 19th century. The aims also included making and exhibiting images of this unique record of Kent's botanical heritage, giving talks to local people on this subject and creating a website detailing all available information. The Project began in September 2013 and is on-going.
Studying examples of Robert Pocock's handwriting helped us to identify his herbarium specimens from the labels.
In 1836, sixty copies of He Whakaputanga were produced by William Colenso on the CMS press at Paihia at the request of James Busby; they were circulated urgently in order to diffuse a flare-up between missionaries and traders in the Hokianga. In April 1837 Colenso printed a second edition of one hundred copies. This is the version displayed above.
In preparing the text for printing, Colenso standardised the spelling of English words transliterated into Māori, and inserted additional punctuation. Hapū information not recorded on the original document has also been added.
34 rangatira signed the original document on 28 October 1835. The printed version records 31 of them – Waikato, Te Peha and Hone Wiremu Heke Pokai are not recorded. Busby deliberately left Waikato’s name off the printed copy due to his involvement in a conflict at Waitangi, but it is not known why the others are not recorded.
A further 18 rangatira signed the original document between 29 October 1835 – 22 July 1839. Six of these names are recorded on the printed copy.

This would be a marked-up, proofread version of the first page of Chapter 6 of that novel I'm working on. The mark-up was provided by my mother who read it and proofread it while at work, awhile ago.
In this scene, written in the first-person of Dan Williard, he describes his meeting with Student Council at school and broaches the annoying fact that he has to work with Tom Woodfern, the other main character, to the rest of the council. They all agree he's kind of odd, especially as he hangs out with the teachers, except for the character of Kristen, who sees the difference in the character and refrains from judging him.
I'm currently writing Chapter 16.
