The BBC was the Borrowing Book Club, a club started by me, the President was me, the rules were made and enforced by me. I was a budding dictator. The club disbanded when my club members informed me that they wanted new elections and someone else to have a turn as President. Well!! I am chagrined whenever I remember that.
Anyway, here was my 5th grade newsletter. And I don't recall either the Pink or the Red jacket.

"For heads that are disposed unto Schism and complexionally propense to innovation, are naturally indisposed for a community, nor will be ever confined unto the order or economy of one body; and therefore, when they separate from others, they knit but loosely among themselves; nor contented with a general break or dichotemy with their Church do subdivide and mince themselves almost into Atoms."

Astronauts from five space agencies around the world take part in ESA’s CAVES training course– Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills.
The three-week course prepares astronauts to work safely and effectively in multicultural teams in an environment where safety is critical.
As they explore caves they encounter caverns, underground lakes and strange microscopic life. They test new technology and conduct science – just as if they were living on the International Space Station.
The six astronauts have to rely on their own skills, teamwork and ground control to achieve their mission goals – the course is designed to foster effective communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and team dynamics.
The six cavenauts of this edition of CAVES are ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Jeanette Epps, Roscosmos’ cosmonaut Nikolai Chub, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Josh Kutryk and Japan’s space agency Takuya Onishi.

arbeidet jeg i flere maaneder med statuen, ogsaa

Every department store worth its salt had a tea room back in the day, and the Palais Royal was no exception. But its Fountain Tea Room, located in the basement was never as famous or popular as the tea rooms at Woodies' or Garfinckel's.

Rudolf Koch's son Paul, and fellow apprentice at Victor Hammer's private press Stamperia del Santuccio Fritz Arnold, established a press of their own located in a famous medieval building , House of Fürsteneck in Frankfurt Am Main. There they concentrated on printing books and broadsides often with musical themes. Unfortunately neither man survived World War II, both dying in action, and the building that housed their shop was destroyed in an air-raid in 1944. What a terrible loss for the civilized and the printing world.

“It’s vital that this work is done; documenting the city and it’s people. There was a guy, I think he used to test cameras for someone, this was pre-digital film era. He used to just go out and shoot a roll or two and he did this over a period of 15 years. Importantly, he took a lot of pictures of where he lived and that’s now part of the historic archive of that Leeds suburb.”

Captioned "at border W.A & N.T Taken by M. P. Durack his Ford in bgrnd- c.1929" - REAR
Although captioned as 1929 recent research into Governor Campion's visit finds this took place in 1927, soon after completion of the Kimberley Obelisk by the WA Survey crew, which is backed up by the new un-weathered look of the concrete. This new date is confirmed by the content of the article below and a diary entry from MP Durack's diary.
GOVERNOR IN NORTH. (1927, July 2). The West Australian (Perth, WA : 1879-1954), p. 13. Retrieved July 9, 2011, from nla.gov.au/nla.news-article32037103
Patsy Millett has also provided us an entry from her grandfather, MP Durack's diary for this day, which gives us an exact date of June 26th 1927.
26/6/27 – "Out at 9am to border pillar with Governor (Campion), Major Nicholls, Patsy (PM Durack) and self. Took a number of photos."
Patsy has added, "The photo of the two men having a drink at the pillar will be Campion and Major Nicholls. ( I presume Nicholls in the Campion party which included his chauffer shipped up with the official car – though MP’s car used on this occasion."
[Major-General Major Kenneth Nicholl was A.D.C. to Governor Campion - “A.D.C.” = Aide-de-camp, a personal assistant, secretary, or adjutant to a person of high rank - KHS]
In 1921 the WA and SA government astronomers determined the WA/NT border on the ground using radio time signals. In 1927 the Kimberley Obelisk was erected using the earlier determinations, by the WA Lands and Surveys Department, on the northern 129 degree border of Rosewood and Argyle stations. A copper plug in the top of this obelisk marks the WA/NT (hence this part of the Rosewood/Argyle) border on the ground. A line is run south to the 26th parallel and a line run north through a similar obelisk at Deakin near the Trans-Continental Railway line. Due to early days inaccuracies, where they meet at the 26th parallel, was marked and in 1968 an agreement made to establish "Surveyor General's Corner," where there is now a section of the WA/NT border that runs east-west for about 125 metres. So the WA border is not as straight as it looks!

WA/NT Border and these events on the KHS Web Site.
