Dated 27th March 1856.
The two Commissioners were Abraham Bass, James Drewry, both of Burton upon Trent, Attorney’s and Commissioners.
Sometimes known as Married Women’s Deeds or Acknowledgement of Deeds by Married Women. A Document to record that a Wife was of full age, competent to understand, had been examined apart from her husband and voluntarily consented to the sale of Land and Property. The main intention was to ensure that a wife could not claim the right of Dower from the purchaser after her husband’s death. Single women and Widows had the right to own properties in their own right so were not covered by this 1833 Act.
The Declaration: Sometimes this first declaration could be signed by someone other than an Attorney and Commissioner (Gentleman, Farmer etc) who knew the woman. Normally it was signed by an Attorney who was a Commissioner of the Court of Common pleas. Then signed by a second Commissioner who declared he had no knowledge or interest in the transaction and as far as he was aware neither did the first Commissioner. Sometimes the document would also be signed by another Commissioner (for Oaths) or by a Judge in his Chambers.
A second document, the Certificate, gave the names of the two Commissioners, wife and husband. A précis of the Indenture connected to the sale was given, naming all who were named in the indenture.

I think the letter is self explanatory, assuming you can read my scratching. David's reply via postcard is my next posting here.
La conférence « Débattre de l’innovation responsable dans les énergies renouvelables et l’architecture » a réuni le 16 novembre 2012 à MINES ParisTech de nombreux acteurs du développement durable urbain, des professionnels du monde de l’énergie et des chercheurs internationaux pour échanger lors de quatre débats thématiques sur la question de la responsabilité dans le secteur de l’énergie aujourd’hui, en présence d’experts internationaux danois et californiens.
The flier arrows made of metal, described in this historical document, were about 12 cm long and thrown off by hand from the aircrafts.
The translation of the document:
Mr. colonel!
I come with the polite request at you, to grant me the necessary credit for the acquisition of 100.000 flier arrows. Because of the available offers, with this quantity an arrow costs 16 cts.
The swiss military aviation possesses today still no weapons of attack any kind.
It's well-known to me, that german companies for the german army administration want to place orders of millions for flier arrows at companies here. I believe this is the proof, that the flier arrows work satisfactorily as weapon of attack, and we therefore without doubt to dare may the acquisition of these flier arrows.
Command of the Swiss flier department
10,000 (ten thousand) arrows can be ordered for a way of trial.
On a further acquisition one decides later.

RECORDS OF THE HAND INN, TREUDDYN
The Hand Inn is an ancient public house in Treuddyn which, according to tradition, was visited by Prince Llewelyn ap Gruffydd in 1275 (See: Flintshire Pubs & Breweries, D. Rowe (2009). Flintshire Record Office has recently taken in a deposit of fascinating records relating to the inn, which chronicle its ownership between 1803 and 1990 (Ref: D/DM/1836).
The collection includes a feoffment dated 30th April 1803, in which a public house with outbuildings and appurtenances, near to the ‘Chapel of Tryddyn’, was granted to Evan Davies of Treuddyn, Gentleman, for the sum of £210. The deeds and documents show the conveyance of the Hand Inn through various owners, including John Griffiths of Treuddyn, Victualler, who held the Inn in 1844; and John Ingman of Treuddyn, Publican, who took over in 1848. The Hand Inn was sold by auction by Jones & Son at Pontblyddyn on 22nd November 1887 and by 1990 it was owned by Marston, Thompson & Evershed PLC. It later became a privately owned house.
The records in this collection were deposited on behalf of the late Dr J. Ingman, who collected them as part of his research into the Ingman family history. Anyone interested in studying the history of this ancient inn can view the records at Flintshire Record Office (appointments are necessary).

COFNODION YR HAND INN, TREUDDYN
Mae’r Hand Inn yn dŷ tafarn hynafol yn Nhreuddyn sydd, yn ôl traddodiad, yn lle y bu i’r Tywysog Llewelyn ap Gruffudd ymweld ag o yn 1275 (Gweler: Flintshire Pubs & Breweries, D. Rowe (2009). Mae Swyddfa Gofnodion Sir y Fflint yn ddiweddar wedi derbyn cofnodion hudol sy’n gysylltiedig a’r dafarn, sy’n cofnodi ei berchnogaeth rhwng 1803 a 1990) (Cyf: D/DM/1836).
Mae’r casgliad yn cynnwys ffeffiad wedi ei dyddio’r 30 Ebrill 1803, lle'r oedd tŷ tafarn gyda thai allan ac atodion, ger ‘Capel Tryddyn’, yn cael ei ganiatáu i Evan Davies o Dreuddyn, Bonheddwr, am y swm o £210. Mae’r gweithredoedd a’r dogfennau yn dangos trawsgludiad Tafarn yr Hand drwy wahanol berchnogion, yn cynnwys John Griffiths o Dreuddyn, Tafarnwr, a oedd yno yn 1844; a John Ingman o Dreuddyn, Tafarnwr, a gymerodd drosodd yn 1848. Gwerthwyd Tafarn yr Hand ar 22 Tachwedd 1887 ym Mhontblyddyn drwy arwerthiant gan Jones a’i Fab ac erbyn 1990 y perchennog oedd Marston, Thompson & Evershed PLC. Yn ddiweddarach fe ddaeth yn gartref sy’n eiddo preifat.
Cafodd y cofnodion yn y casgliad hwn eu hadneuo ar ran y diweddar Dr J. Ingman, a gasglodd hwy fel rhan o’i ymchwil i mewn i hanes teulu’r Ingman. Gall unrhyw un â diddordeb mewn astudio hanes y dafarn hynafol hwn, weld y cofnodion yn Swyddfa Gofnodion Sir y Fflint (angen trefnu amser cyfarfod).

In the 1980s, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources developed a statewide bicycle touring networking known as the "Hoosier Bikeway System". Each route had a set of maps and cue sheets, and the routes also had pavement markings. This system continues to be featured in DeLorme's "Indiana Atlas and Gazetteer". However, this publication doesn't provide enough detail to follow the routes, and the road markings are no longer visible.
In 2002, the program was eliminated, as being "underused and outdated" and costing "approximately $25,000/year to maintain".
Most recently, this recent planning document states that the DNR plans to invest in bicycle touring routes: "The Indiana Department of Transportation is taking a lead role in promoting alternative transportation by currently working on a state bicycle plan that will cover bicycle routes throughout Indiana."
My contact at the DNR clarified just a few days ago:
"There are many people that would like to see a statewide bicycle route system, but it would have to be something different from the Hoosier Bikeways. The Hoosier Bikeways was designed for self contained overnight travel and there just are not very many bicyclists that really bicycle like that. Plus, DNR did not have the staff or financial resources to keep up with a statewide system that involved almost a thousand miles of roads that were constantly under repair, being altered, or changing traffic patterns. Besides, it seems that most people want to go out on a day ride at most and usually end up back where they started. That is why we are encouraging local routes be developed and maintained. If all counties were to develop local routes, then connections could eventually be made between these routes and we could build toward a statewide system."
In the meantime, he was kind enough to supply me with some remaining cue books from the old network. The shape is designed to fit in a handle-bar bag for direct use on a bike, and the elevation charts and routes are still interesting, even if they are dated.

Five short pieces by Beckett, directed by Peter Brooke, starring "Jos Houben and Marcello Magni, co founders of theatre company Complicite and the Olivier Award winning Kathryn Hunter". Enjoyed it, it was interesting, and several things will stick with me for a long time, although I wasn't wowed.
National Museum of Transylvanian History.
The National Museum of Transylvanian History (Romanian: Muzeul Național de Istorie a Transilvaniei) is a history and archaeology museum in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It features a permanent exhibition, as well as temporary exhibitions, the "Tezaur" exhibition, and Pharmacy Historical collection—this last opened in the Hintz House, an historical building in the city's center.
The beginnings of the museum date back in the 19th century (1859) with the foundation of the Society of the Transylvanian Museum, featuring collections of antiquities, botanics, zoology and mineralogy. In 1929 the collection of artefacts was transferred to the Romanian Institute of Classical Studies. After several further movements, caused by lack of space, the collection was reopened in 1937 at its current site in Piaţa Muzeului (Constantin Daicoviciu street), in the center of Cluj-Napoca.

The S4 Craft & Design class are now using this site as their primary source of teacher/peer review and feedback. Observations on work in progress will be made by Mr. Jennings on a regular basis. Comments from the class will be encouraged and moderated by Mr. J. Comments and tags will be altered over time to better reflect the content. Given the massive quantity of paperwork generated by classes in the department this would appear to be the most efficient feedback mechanism.
