The first motor-driven clothes washer was the "Thor" washing machine, manufactured in 1907 by the Hurley Electric Laundry Equipment Company. It was designed by Alva J. Fisher, making it an electric-powered machine; essentially marking the first commercially available electric washing machine.
The first gas-powered, motor-driven clothes washer was made by the Maytag Company in 1914. This washer, called the "Multi-Motor" (shown in the ad) was designed to help rural homemakers who didn't have access to electricity. It was a significant innovation at the time, providing a much-needed solution for washing clothes without manual labor.
Maytag has a rich history that dates to 1893 when it was founded by Frederick Louis Maytag and three partners. Initially, the company produced farm machinery, but it soon shifted its focus to home appliances.

[Note: The electrification of rural communities in the United States was essentially complete by the late 1950s. This was the result of the Rural Electrification Act (REA) of 1936 and the efforts of private industry.]
[Note 2: In this century, the digital divide remains a significant issue, with many rural areas lacking adequate internet access. It's possible that further legislative action, similar to the REA for electrification, could be necessary to ensure universal high-speed internet access in rural America.]

This fast paced action adventure uses specially designed cars, jet skis and motorcycles in a high speed pursuit. Some vehicles are designed to drive in reverse, while one splits in half. You’ll know which car is the “hero” and which is the “villain” by color coding.
The 177,000 square-foot, 5000 seat stadium which is home to the “Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show” is one of the largest venues in WDW. Set in a Mediterranean village, a “spy thriller” is filmed live with explosions, jumps, spins and death defying stunts.
Filmmaking secrets are revealed as you learn how Hollywood creates the memorable chase scenes that leave you on the edge of your seat.
Segments of this energetic attraction are taped and shown on oversized screens, highlighting how the different camera angles enhance the special effects.
The cast of professional drivers, stunt managers, production crew, director and assistant director will invite a select few audience members to participate in the fun.

new images to the kramat of abdul kader. near caledon, western cape
sanctuary and sanctity in the driven rain and storms today.
next to abdul kader's kramat is the pyramidical tomb over the grave of elisabet jacoba akkerman that died in 1817. it is unclear when abdul kader died. RA stands for Radhe Allaho-ann which means 'may Allah be pleased with him or her". often referred to noble companions of Allah. there is little info as to why the two graves are in one site.
A Kramat is a shrine or mausoleum that has been built over the burial place of a Muslim who's particular piety and practice of the teachings of Islam is recognised by the community. I have been engaged in documenting these sites around Cape Town over several visits at different times over the last few years. They range widely from graves marked by an edge of stones to more elaborate tombs sheltered by buildings of various styles. They are cultural markers that speak of a culture was shaped by life at the Cape and that infuses Cape Town at large.
In my searches used the guide put out by the Cape Masaar Society as a basic guide to locate some recognised sites. Even so some were not that easy to find.
In the context of the Muslims at the Cape, historically the kramats represented places of focus for the faithful and were/are often places of local pilgrimage. When the Dutch and the VOC (United East India Company aka Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) set up a refuelling station and a settlement at the Cape, Muslims from their territories in the East Indies and Batavia were with them from the start as soldiers, slaves and “Vryswarten" (freemen). As the settlement established itself as a colony the Cape became a useful place to banish political opponents from the heart of their eastern empire. Some exiles were of royal lineage and there were also scholars amongst them. One of the most well known of these exiles was Sheik Yusuf who was cordially received by Govenor van der Stel as befitted his rank (he and his entourage where eventually housed on an estate away from the main settlement so that he was less likely to have an influence over the local population), others were imprisoned for a time both in Cape Town and on Robben island. It is said that the first Koran in the Cape was first written out from memory by Sheik Yusuf after his arrival. There were several Islamic scholars in his retinue and these men encouraged something of an Islamic revival amoung the isolated community. Their influence over the enslaved “Malay” population who were already nominally Muslim was considerable and through the ministrations of other teachers to the underclasses the influence of Islam became quite marked. As political opponents to the governing powers the teachers became focus points for escaped slaves in the outlying areas.
Under the VOC it was forbidden to practice any other faith other than Christianity in public which meant that there was no provision for mosques or madrasas. The faith was maintained informally until the end of the C18th when plans were made for the first mosque and promises of land to be granted for a specific burial ground in the Bo Kaap were given in negotiations for support against an imminent British invasion. These promises were honoured by the British after their victory.
There is talk of a prophecy of a protective circle of Islam that would surround Cape Town. I cannot find the specifics of this prophecy but the 27 kramats of the “Auliyah” or friends of Allah, as these honoured individuals are known, do form a loose circle of saints. Some of the Auliyah are credited with miraculous powers in legends that speak of their life and works. Within the folk tradition some are believed to be able to intercede on behalf of supplicants (even though this more part of a mystical philosophy (keramat) and is not strictly accepted in mainstream contemporary Islamic teaching) and even today some visitors may offer special prayers at their grave sites in much the same way as Christians might direct prayer at the shrine of a particular saint.
The taxi ride to the airport was an interesting one.
I appreciate that everyone has a different driving style but neither myself or my colleague liked the one this driver was using: 60mph in a 30mph zone, jumping the lights, creeping forward over the stop line, cutting up...
I was glad to get there.
