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.

Following on from the previous picture, this is the sort of thing you find inside. As it says on one page here, "Just a bunch of Hobby Printers havin' fun".
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.

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.

The Academic Gymnasium in Vienna was founded in 1553 and is the oldest high school in Vienna. The school orientation is humanistic and compared with other traditional high schools of the city rather liberal. The current number of students is about 610 students, divided on 24 classes.
History
16th and 17th Century
At the time of the foundation of the high school, the University of Vienna had the privilege to decide about the estabilishment of educational institutions. In March of 1553, the Jesuits received permission from the university to the founding of the Academic Gymnasium.
The primary objectives of the exclusively Jesuit teaching corps was the provision of religious instruction, the practice of the Catholic faith and the strengthening of the religious attitude of the students. The Academic Gymnasium was located at the time of its inception in the Dominican monastery opposite the then university. The former language was Latin.
18th and 19 Century
The dissolution of the Jesuit order in 1773 by Pope Clement XIV led to a conversion of the teaching staff and educational goals. The new focus was on history, mathematics, German, literature and geography. The management of the school was transferred to the Piarist. Subsequently the school was somewhat cosmopolitan conducted and the spirit of the Enlightenment prevailed both among teachers and among the students. Likewise, new didactic and educational measures, and later the school fees were introduced.
As a result of high school reform in 1849, the eight-year school with the final matriculation examination was developed. The humanistic aspects crystallized out more and more, the focus of the lesson were mainly linguistic-historical, mathematical and scientific aspects not being neglected. The first high school graduates made their final exams at the end of the school year 1850 /51.
Academic High School before the vaulting of the Vienna River (Wienfluß - as small as possible)
Since 1866 the building of the Academic Gymnasium is located on Beethoven place in the first district of Vienna. It was built by Friedrich von Schmidt, who also designed the City Hall, in his typical neo-Gothic style.
The first students (female ones) gratuated in 1886 and 1887 (every year an external student), since the school year 1896/97 there were almost every year high school graduates, a general admission of girls there since 1949 /50.
20th Century
The years following the First World War were extremely distressing for the high school, because there was a very narrow escape for not being closed, the cause was a sharp decline in students. The educational institution was menaced from losing its good reputation and attractiveness.

After the "Anschluss" of Austria in 1938, the Jewish students had to leave the school, they were 28 April 1938 transfered, some of the students but had logged off before this date. The total loss amounted to nearly 50 percent of the students because the school from all Viennese schools was attended most of all of children of Jewish families. Today, several plaques remember on the outer facade of the high school the transfer and the horrors of Nazism. A known victim of that action was the future Nobel laureate Walter Kohn, he had to leave school in the 5th class.
Wolfgang Wolfring (1925-2001) popularized the high school from 1960 as the site of classical Greek drama performances in ancient Greek original language. Annually took place performances of the classical Greek dramatic literature, among them, King Oedipus, Oedipus at Colonus and Philoctetes of Sophocles, the Oresteia of Aeschylus and The Trojan Women and Alcestis of Euripides. Protagonists of these performances were later Lawyers Josef and Eduard Wegrostek, Liliana Nelska, Doris Dornetshuber, Gerhard Tötschinger, but also in smaller roles Gabriel Barylli, Paulus Manker, Konstantin Schenk and others.
Over the years the school acquired the old reputation back and enjoyed high access rates. More and more emphasis has been placed on humanistic education, which has been demonstrated mainly by the wide range of languages, school theater performances at a high level and numerous musical events of the school choir the public in general as well.
21th Century
The focus are still on a broad linguistic foundation, which also includes training in languages such as Latin or Greek. The school offers both French and English from the first grade. The other of the two languages begins as early as the 2nd class.
In addition to this a wide range of projects are organized and voluntary activities offered. The goal of the Academic Gymnasium is the general education, which in turn should prepare for a subsequent university study.
One problem is the shortage of space of the school. Since there's a large demand for school places, the school house for financial reasons and such the monument preservation not expandable, not for all admission solicitors school places are available.

Name of claimant: Branning, William
Series Number: S 990
Creator: United States. Board of Land Commissioners.
Series Title: Confirmed Spanish land grant claims, 1763-1821.
Description: Established in 1822 (3 U.S. Statute 709, May 8), the Board of Land Commissioners settled all outstanding Spanish land grant claims in the territory that Spain ceded to the United States in 1821. The Board set up offices in Pensacola and St. Augustine to determine whether all titles and private claims to lands in east and west Florida were valid. It either supported or rejected land claims by studying the documents claimants supplied them.
The grants provide information on the settlement and cultivation of Florida during the Second Spanish Period (1783-1821) and the Territorial Period (1821-1845). Grantees had to provide the following information: description of land granted, date of grant, size of grant, property boundaries, as well as proof of residency and cultivation. The records contain surveys and plats, copies of royal grants, testimonials, correspondence, deeds, wills and translations of Spanish documents.
