Maybe I shouldn't admit this,but I was born in 1959(I know I come across as a young lad!) and actually was in a crib about 5 miles from this farm at that time.I always wondered when the first frost was that year,and the question of when the corn tasseled that year was burning a hole in my soul!LOL

This extract from a letter from an officer in France to his wife, sent in December 1914, was forwarded by Austen Chamberlain to Lord Stamfordham, Private Secretary to King George V. The contents of the letter and the enthusiastic tone in which it was written, reflect the high esteem with which the Prince of Wales was regarded by the soldiers at the Front, and the morale-boosting effect his very presence in France had on the troops.
“Today who should I come upon, tramping along on front in the very worst of it (i.e. the “liquid mud”) but the Prince of Wales, with a very weary-looking & unhappy aide-de-camp splashing along behind him in a vain attempt to keep up. As a General at the front is reported to have said, & as I have always maintained, “That is a damned good boy!” & he has already become unanimously popular with the Army out here. Although he looks so young & slight, he is absolutely indefatigable – up at 5.0/ every morning & all over the place before any of the rest of the staff have begun to get out of bed. He has a small open car which he always drives himself, but his favourite plan is to leave it about ten miles from headquarters & to trudge home in the dark through the wind & pelting rain. His A.D.C. who was a nice rotund & beaming person three weeks ago, is now but a poor pale shadow of his former self, & I doubt if he will be able to stand the pace much longer. His chief preoccupation is to keep the boy out of danger &, as he is mad keen to share every experience of the soldiers like any last-joined subaltern, looking after him is by no means a sinecure I have not met him yet, but I see him very often & take much pleasure in his spirited goings on.”

I'm a bit bored with landscapes, so I thought I'd check out what the We're Here gang is doing. Today is the Doctor's pool. I couldn't come up with anything fun, and I don't have the motivation to do anything fancy even if I did. Oh well. It's not a landscape. Baby steps...

Bakgrunn: Sommeren 2013 var Harman Lelivelt fra Nederland på besøk i Norge. Han hadde funnet flere brev og bilder etter sin nå avdøde far Gerard, som hadde vært i Trondheim under krigen. Gjennom brevene og bildene forsøkte han nå å finne ut nærmere om hvor faren hadde vært og hva han hadde holdt på med her i byen.
Gerard viste seg å være nederlandsk bygningsarbeider som jobbet ved ubåtkomplekset Dora gjennom Organisation Todt. Under sitt opphold i byen ble han kjent med Erling Vikan (1921 - 1986) og hans familie i Festningsgata 5.
Vennene Erling og Gerard holdt kontakten via brevveksling i et par år etter at Gerhard reiste hjem ca. 1944. En av sønnene til Gerard ble oppkalt etter Erling. Harman Lelivelt er tilknyttet Nationaal Bevrijdingsmuseum 1944 - 1945 ved Nijmegen i Nederland og deler sine bilder og brev med oss.
Trondheim, 16 mars, 1946.
Beste vriend.
Viel dank für deinen Brief. Es frent mir zu hören dass du und deine Familie gut leben. Ich spreche die Hoffnung aus dass die Familievergrösserung zum Sommer auch gut verlaufe.
Dass das Kind auch meine Name soll hagen ist mir ja eine grosse ... und Ehre. Meiner Dank darvor.
Ich bin jetzt eine Monate zu Hause gewesen und ich fühle mich frisch wie ein Fisch. Der Arzt hate mir doch erst von Mai meine Arbeit aufzunehmen. Und vorsichtig muss ich sein; diese Krankheit habe ja ein ganz grosses Rückfallprozent, die ich gar nicht wünsche zu vergrösseren. Mein Leben ist darum ganz ruhig.
Ob ich noch nicht die Ski benutzen kann mache ich jeden Tag Spaziergänge in die Stadt und die Umgebung. In schönes Wetter ist es wirklich eine Freude - der norwegischen Winter kann streng aber auch sehr hübsch sein. Ich habe ja guter Zeit zu lesen; das letzte Buch war übrigens von einen holländischen Verfasser, nämlich "Vrÿgevocten" (Norw. Frigjort) van Hans Martin. Ein gutes Buch; mir fällt doch besser ein ander von derselben Verfasser nämlich "Tidevann" - ich meine die holländische Titel war Getÿdewater".
Vielleich hast du auch diese Bücher gelesen?
Mit meiner Mutter und Familie übrigens sind auch alles gut.
Die Knaben meiner Schwester haben beiden die Kinderkrankheit "Masern" durchgegangen und haben in schwerer Fieber geliegen; aber sie sind jetzt wieder gesund.
Rohstoffmangeln ist es auch hier und mehrere Betrieben kann aus diesen Grund nicht seinen Kapazität ausnutzen. Es geht doch immer vorwärts. Die Essenversorgung ist gut und etwas kommt auch von Kleider. Wie natürlich auch in Holland haben wir auch hier ein schweres Problem in die Wohnungsnot. Diese Problem ist ja natürlich schlimmsten in die kriegesgeschadeten Gebieten aber kommt in alle Städte und dicht bewohnten Plätze vor.
In Trondheim sind mehrere Wohnungen unter Aufführung. Die meisten Holzmaterialen sind Nord-Norge vorbehalten so hier wird ins Beton gebaut. An die Tecknische Hochschule experimentiert man jetzt mit eine neue Bauweise, durch welche man Betonwohnungen viel schneller aufführen könne. Der Plan ist die Eisenbetonblocken ins Fabriken fertig machen und an die Bauplätze nur die zusammenfassung zu machen. Wir hoffen dass die Erfindung halt was sie vorspricht, es ist ja sehr wichtig zowohl Wohnungen als Betriebe schnellest möglich aufbauen zu können. In Finnmark, wo die Deutschen alles verbrannt haben, wohnen ja 40 000 Menschen in Erdehütten und Baracken und in die strenge norwegischen Klima haben wir wirklich gute Wohnungen nötig.
Die holländische Problem mit Indonesia weisse ich nicht was ich denken solle. Ich kenne ja nicht die Verhältnisse da gut; mir kommt es vor dass die Entwicklung fordert eine Veränderung in die Organisation aller Kolonien. In Indonesia führt wohl die gegenwärtige Verhandlung zu einer zufriedenstellene Ordnung. Die Weltpolitik ist ja für anwesend unrohig; dass die Lage zum Bruch zwischen die Grossmächten soll führen, glaube ich doch gar nicht. Ich glaube dass sie alle, auch Russland, durch Verhandlungen zur Lösung der Problemen kommen wollen. Der genralsekretær Trygve Lie brauche doch keine Bekümmernis habe arbeitslos zu werden.
Alle gute Grüssen zu dir und deine familie von deine norwegische Mutter und meine familie ubrigens
Din norske venn
Erling.

Social insurance - general considerations manuscript memo by Beveridge, with note that this document was found by him on 11 June 1952: It was presumably composed... [in July 1941] and is thus the first draft of Beveridge Report. With typescript copies.
IMAGELIBRARY/1382
In 1930, the inaugural British Empire Games [now the Commonwealth Games] took place in Hamilton, Canada, during which 400 athletes from 11 Nations competed in 6 sports over 59 events: athletics, boxing, swimming and diving, lawn bowls, rowing, and wrestling. Since then, the Games have taken place every four years, except for 1942 and 1946 as a consequence of the Second World War.
In 1934, the Games were held in London, although this time rowing was replaced by cycling, which took place in Manchester. In just four years, the Games had expanded to include 500 athletes from 16 Nations, competing in 68 events.
This joint telegram from both the President and the Chairman of the British Empire Games Federation, the 5th Earl of Lonsdale and James Leigh-Wood, was sent to King George V, sending loyal greetings from the athletes and officials on the eve of the commencement of the Games.

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...

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.

Holy Willie's Prayer (pages 21-25 of the The Glenriddel Manuscripts, which contain a selection of Burn’s poems and letters, compiled in two volumes, for presentation to Burns's friend, Robert Riddell of Glenriddell (1755-1794), during the years 1791 to 1793.) The first volume, contains copies of poems both in Burns's hand and in that of a scribe. It contains over 50 poems, most famously a full version of Holy Willie's Prayer. This is the most devastating and amusing of Burns's diatribes against the apparent hypocrisy of certain sections of his native Church. It is directed against William Fisher, a farmer in Montgarswood and an elder of Mauchline Kirk. Burns uses this hypocrite - who had initiated disciplinary action against the poet's friend, Gavin Hamilton, for failing to attend the Kirk regularly - to savage the orthodox Calvinist doctrine of double predestination. The satire was so severe that it circulated in handwritten form for some three years before its publication as part of a pamphlet. Written in August 1785, this is one of the poet's earliest satirical works on orthodox Calvinism and is the only version of the poem in Burns's hand.
