The fancy establishment the two parties had agreed to meet at, had more than once been home to sinister negotiations and shady bargains, and Mayne and Valny had decided to uphold at least that one tradition. After all, the restaurant was full of witnesses should the meeting go sideways.

De Amsterdamse Poort (vroeger Spaarnwouderpoort) is een Haarlemse stadspoort van rond 1400.
De poort staat aan het einde van de oude route van Amsterdam naar Haarlem.
Na oprichting werd hij de Spaarnwouderpoort genoemd omdat de weg naar Amsterdam in die tijd via Spaarnwoude liep in verband met de passage van de Liede.
De Amsterdamse Poort is de enige poort die nog over is van oorspronkelijk twaalf stadspoorten.

The Amsterdamse Poort (formerly Spaarnwouderpoort) is a Haarlem city gate from around 1400.
The gate is at the end of the old route from Amsterdam to Haarlem.
After its establishment, it was called the Spaarnwouderpoort because the road to Amsterdam at that time ran through Spaarnwoude in connection with the passage of the Liede.
The Amsterdamse Poort is the only gate that remains of originally twelve city gates.

Puente Viejo / Usina de Oriente
Un verdadero testimonio de las obras que se desarrollaban hace casi un siglo atrás, se encuentra en Oriente, en el Partido de Coronel Dorrego y a orillas del Quequen Salado.
Se trata de la Usina que perteneció a la empresa Hidroeléctrica del Sud, y nos refleja el sabio aprovechamiento de las ventajas que ofrecen las energías renovables para generar energía eléctrica.
Este emprendimiento encarado que abasteció inicialmente a una compañía de cementera, "El Triunfo" posteriormente se extendió por el excedente que generaba, a las localidades Oriente y Copetonas durante más de 60 años, con instalaciones que eran únicas en toda la provincia. Por el mismo lugar cruzaba el puente ferroviario (Ramal DeFerrari/Coronel Dorrego Construido en 1910) los cuales estaban sostenidos por columnas de más de 6 metros de alto que todavia estan intactas. y otro carretero por el cual pasaba la Ruta 72 construido en 1912.
Roberto Brunand, dueño del establecimiento y poblador de aquella zona, obsesionado por ofrecer un buen servicio, sin cortes de luz. Según relatos: dormía con el velador encendido toda la noche para saber de inmediato cuando se registraba un inconveniente e intervenir en el menor tiempo posible. La planta hidroeléctrica contaba inicialmente con 2 turbinas, hasta que una gran crecida del río provocó importantes daños en la represa y destruyó parte de las instalaciones en 1919, lo que llevó a depender de motores diesel en su reemplazo.
La usina finalmente dejo de funcionar a mediados de la década del '80, y se presenta en la actualidad como otro legado histórico más en la región, fruto de pioneros visionarios que en nuestros tiempos aun seguirían vigentes.

Puente Viejo / Usina de Oriente
A true testimony of the works that were developed almost a century ago, is located in the East, in the Coronel Dorrego Party and on the banks of Queque Salado.
This is the power plant that belonged to the company Hidroeléctrica del Sud, and reflects the wise use of the advantages offered by renewable energy to generate electricity.
This endeavor, which initially supplied a cement company, "El Triunfo" was later extended by the surplus that it generated, to the Oriente and Copetonas localities for more than 60 years, with facilities that were unique throughout the province. By the same place crossed the railway bridge (Ramal DeFerrari / Coronel Dorrego Built in 1910) which were supported by columns of more than 6 meters high that are still intact. and another road through which Route 72 built in 1912 passed.
Roberto Brunand, owner of the establishment and resident of that area, obsessed with offering a good service, without power cuts. According to stories: I slept with the night table on all night to know immediately when a problem was recorded and intervene in the shortest time possible. The hydroelectric plant had initially 2 turbines, until a large flood of the river caused significant damage to the dam and destroyed part of the facilities in 1919, which led to reliance on diesel engines to replace it.
The factory finally ceased to function in the mid-1980s, and is currently presented as another historical legacy in the region, the result of visionary pioneers who in our time would still be in force.

For a dining establishment so prominent in DCA that they offer a TOUR of their operation, I wish their restaurant menu bore more resemblance to a normal Boudin Bakery than what they have...

It's a shame they didn't call the bookshop "The Obsessive Reader". It would have made a good pairing with next door.
Judging by the colours, I think the outside furniture must be a joint venture between the two establishments.
Margate Old Town
The 150th anniversary of the establishment of the City of Buchanan (Michigan) Fire Department was in 2012. The event was celebrated with the return of the bell that occupied the original fire house. The bell now occupies a place of honor in Fire House Park.
The following enscription is found on the bell:
Meneely & Kimberley,
Founders,
Troy, N. Y., 1876.
Unfortunately, the steps taken to protect the bell from vandalism (i.e., enclosure in plexiglass) makes it nearly impossible to take decent photos of the bell without intrusive reflections.

nrhp # 73000178- The Old Sullivan County Courthouse is located in downtown Newport, on a rise east of Main Street, behind later civic buildings and across Main Street from a cluster of later 19th-century commercial blocks. Its main block is a 2 1⁄2-story brick structure, with a gabled roof and end chimneys. It has a five-bay front facade, with the center bay taken up by an entry topped by a tower. The entry is two stories, with the main entrance framed by sidelight windows and a half-round transom window. The tower is a wood-frame structure with a blank square stage at its base, followed by an open belfry with arched openings, and topped by a cupola. A brick two-story wing extends to the northeast of the main block.[2]
The courthouse was built in 1825-26 (prior to the establishment of Sullivan County, which occurred in 1827) with funding from the town, and was instrumental in the choice of Newport as the new county's seat. The building served as a county court and town hall until 1873, when it was turned over to the town. It was used by the town as a school until 1896, when it was leased to the local Grange chapter.

The monarch butterfly is native to the Americas, but in the nineteenth century or before, spread across the world, and is now found in Australia, New Zealand, other parts of Oceania, and the Iberian Peninsula. It is not clear how it dispersed; adults may have been blown by the wind or larvae or pupae may have been accidentally transported by humans, but the presence of suitable host plants in their new environment was a necessity for their successful establishment.

See more here: www.flickr.com/photos/hopemanfoto/albums/72157712146815576
Duffus Castle was a motte-and-bailey castle in use from c.1140 to 1705. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland.
At the beginning of the 12th century Moray was ruled by Angus, grandson of Lulach Macgillecomgan, who had succeeded Macbeth as King of Scots in 1057. Angus rebelled in 1130 and King David I began to populate the province with nobles. Among them was Freskin, of Flemish background, who built the great earthwork and timber motte-and-bailey castle in c. 1140.
Freskin’s direct line ended in 1270 and the castle passed into the ownership of Sir Reginald le Chen. With his death in 1345, Duffus passed to his daughter Mariot who was married to Nicholas, son of the 4th Earl of Sutherland. The Sutherlands were also descended from Freskyn and remained in their possession until 1705 when the castle was abandoned.

Establishment of the cemetery (1848):
Before the construction of the Camperdown Cemetery, there were general cemeteries where Anglicans would have to share the space with both other Christian and pagan denominations. This was not satisfactory to the strong Anglican community in the colony, which sought to retain its sectarian social exclusivity beyond the grave. The Anglican Camperdown Cemetery was created on the 12th of July 1848. It opened in 1849.
Operation of the cemetery (1848 - 1866):
As a major cemetery for the dominant religion in Sydney, the range of interments was broad. In the period of its operation more than sixteen thousand burials were placed in the cemetery, making it a significant nineteenth century urban cemetery by any standards.
In 1850, Mogo, a Koori (Aboriginal New South Wales man) from Towel Creek on the Upper Macleay Valley was buried in what became known as 'Cooee Corner' of the cemetery (on the Lennox Street side). His grave was originally decorated with shells taken from an Aboriginal midden in Pittwater. Some time after the cemetery closed in 1942 this and adjacent areas were cleared, headstones moved within the perimeter of the newley-erected stone wall, where they remain today. It is not known what became of Mogo's remains but his sandstone headstone, the inscription blurred by weathering, lies on the ground next to an obelisk, erected in tribute to Aboriginal people buried in the cemetery in 1944 by the Rangers' League of New South Wales in memory of Mogo Perry (d.1849, aged 26) and two other Kooris buried in the cemetery - Wandelina Caborigirel (d. 1860, aged 18) and Tommy (d. aged 11). The inscription says the obelisk was erected 'Also as a tribute to the whole of the Aboriginal race'.
It is now a great deal more about the operation of this cemetery than other comparable establishments because of the Select Committee of the New South Wales Legislative Council which held hearings in 1865 - 1866 as a result of complaints about health and morality issues. The Select Committee evidence concentrates mainly on the pauper burials, suggesting that multiple interments were common.
Closure of the cemetery (1867 - 1948):
Health and hygienic problems were exacerbated as the population of Newtown and Camperdown increased dramatically from the late 1840s onwards, leading to the closure of the cemetery by the Newtown Municipal Council. On the 2nd of September 1867 the Camperdown and Randwick Cemetery Act was assented. From the 1st of January 1868 all burials in the cemetery would cease, apart from those who had a compelling reason.
In 1948 the Camperdown Cemetery Act divided the land into a 12 acre that was to become a public park, with the remaining 4 acres to form the historic core of the cemetery, along with the sexton's cottage and Saint Stephens Church. The wall surrounding the new cemetery core was completed in 1951, and headstones removed and installed inside the new compound.
The Current Camperdown Cemetery:
The Camperdown Cemetery was established in 1848 on about 13 acres of the 240 acres granted to Governor Bligh, known as the Camperdown Estate. This was the first privately-owned and operated Anglican cemetery in Sydney. It was the main cemetery for Sydney from 1849 to 1867. During this time it received over 15,000 interments and was the subjct of a state government select committee inquiry. This inquiry was convened to address the mismanagement of a number of cemeteries within Sydney and it found that the accusations directed at the Camperdown Cemetery were founded. Sale of plots was terminated in 1867 and it closed in 1868 but a trickle of burials continued until the 1940s (Brettell, 2015 says 1920s, these being within family and pre-purchased plots and crypts).
Following its closure the cemetery fell into disrepair. It was reduced in size in the 1950s when Camperdown Memorial Rest Park was established, comprising two distinct sections that now comprise the area - the Saint Stephens Church and graveyard (within a six foot high sandstone wall) and the Camperdown Memorial Rest Park (without the wall), treated as broadly grassed open space with pockets of tree planting, and, directly south of the graveyard wall, a children's play ground area. The Church and graveyard have been managed since the 1970s by the Camperdown Cemetery Trust and the Camperdown Memorial Rest Park is managed by Marrickville Council.
In 2021 $20,000 grant funding will support restoration of headstones in Camperdown Cemetery.

Kumbharwada in Dharavi is an establishment of potters almost 100 years old. It is the largest community of potters in Mumbai. They are originally from Saurashtra, Gujarat. Khumbars means potter and Wada means colony. Hence the name Kumbharwada – the colony of potters. It occupies 22 acres of land that houses around 1400-1500 families, 700–800 of whom still practice pottery today.
All the pottery making work is conducted in the morning before starting up the kilns every afternoon. While most potters still use the Bhattis (traditional kilns), some families have started developing their own gas kilns to avoid pollution and to have better control of the temperatures. The potters live and work in the same area, making it a really close society.
Become a psychedelic flower of the trance-human revolution, an anti-christ-establishment cult-ural phenomenon. Enjoy a cataclysmic decline in human cognition due to a dehumanized zombie like state of mindless conformity as you embrace your electronic slavery. Participate in the new social norms of deviant social evolution while in your brand new altered state of consciousness. The hypnotic patterns of synchronized antichrist frequencies producing rhythmic motor patterns in the absence of your sensory inputs will control you like a robot. How exhilarating!
Will you become a flower child of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Will you be a budding flower of transhumanism—a bloom, a hybrid, a child of the Beast? Don’t forget your passport; grab your Digital ID and head toward the goal, toward the Mark. Immortality is waiting; it is waiting until Judgment Day, when you will receive your just reward of eternal punishment. Your pedals will be plucked off. You will wilt and fade away, no longer to be remembered. Your fragrance will smell of fire, your aroma of sulfur.

DKW meant Dampfkraftwagen (literally: “steam motor car”), and later was changed to Autodienst (“Car service”), which was still later contracted into our modern “Audi”... but the logo with the four circles remained the same throughout...!
The DKW Schnellaster, also known as the DKW F89 L, was a van produced by DKW from 1949 to 1962. Alongside the DKW F89 passenger car, it was the first vehicle to be manufactured by the new Auto Union conglomerate in Ingolstadt, following the re-establishment of the business in West Germany. The model name Schnellaster translates from German to English as Rapid Transporter.
Design
DKW Schnellaster van
The Schnellaster is of a one box or monospace configuration featuring front wheels set forward in the passenger cabin, a short sloping aerodynamic hood, front wheel drive, transverse engine, flat load floor throughout with flexible seating and cargo accommodations. These same features make the Schnellaster a precursor of the modern minivan, a body configuration subsequently popularized in notable examples such as the Renault Espace, or the Chrysler Voyager/Dodge Caravan and, mechanically, of the BMC Mini plus most modern cars.
The van included a trailing arm rear suspension system incorporating springs in the cross bar assembly. The modern layout featured a prewar two-cylinder 700 cc two-stroke engine of the DKW F8 rated at 20 hp (22 hp after 1952). In 1955 the van received the DKW F9's three cylinder unit with 900 cc, producing 32 hp (24 kW).
The van's layout enabled a flat loading floor only 40 cm (16 in) off the ground. It was also fitted with a large single rear door fitted to hinges on the right-hand side.

The town of Cuchillo was established in 1850's by Mexican ranchers. The above establishment is part of a complex of buildings some of which were constructed in the 1850's. The complex has been the victim of fires and the ravages of time. The front part has been closed since 2004 but apparently there is a two bedroom structure in the rear that functions as an airbnb. The owner reportedly gives tours of the buildings and has much to say about the history which includes hauntings. If we had known that, we would have tried to look him up. There is a broken down bench on the front porch so:
Happy Bench Monday!
In 1526 an inn was built on this site and although the original structure has been altered and added to at different intervals, part of the current building dates back to the 16th century.
The house was first licensed to sell ales in 1685 but was not originally known as 'The Swan'. For most of the 1700's and early 1800's, the establishment included a bakery and was known as 'The Millers Arms', 'The Myllers Arms' on the Greene' and in 1771 'Honest Tom's after its Landlord Thomas Oliver. It was in 1852, under new ownership when kept by a wheelwright, that the pub was registered as 'The Swan'. Seen in The ITV drama The Larkins. Film Location.
Inside the city, it's easy for residents to connect and work together. Outside in the forgotten zones however, things are very different. There are small groups eking out an existence, separated from each other by disaster and ruin. In order for these folks to get what they need, they need someone to connect them. Someone to find them, and report back to the city to ask for help. They may not directly deliver goods, or shuttle people to distant locations, but the service they do supply is invaluable. Without them, many people would never be able to make it on their own. Despite otherwise being law abiding citizens, the activities of these "Connectors" are highly frowned upon by the establishment of District 18. While they find it easy enough to control a closed population, the outliers pose a potential threat to their authority.
While I built this purely for fun, I'm still planning to enter it in the District 18 Speeder Bike Contest. There are so many great designs being entered, it'll be fun to be part of such a terrific group.
Among the many archaeological structures dating back to the Roman era, when Coimbra was the settlement of Aeminium, are its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus. Similarly, buildings from the period when Coimbra was the capital of Portugal (from 1131 to 1255) still remain. During the Late Middle Ages, with its decline as the political centre of the Kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra began to evolve into a major cultural centre. This was in large part helped by the establishment the University of Coimbra in 1290, the oldest academic institution in the Portuguese-speaking world. Apart from attracting many European and international students, the university is visited by many tourists for its monuments and history. Its historical buildings were classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2013: "Coimbra offers an outstanding example of an integrated university city with a specific urban typology as well as its own ceremonial and cultural traditions that have been kept alive through the ages."
Construction of the Miri-Arab madrasah dates back to the 16th century and is related to the sheikh Abdallah Yamani (from Yemen), the spiritual pir (guide) of sheybanids. The exact date of the beginning of the construction is still unknown. According to one version, scientists believe that the building was erected in the period of 1530-1535/1536. The other version states, that the madrasah was built to celebrate the victory of the sheybanid army over the troops of the Sefevid shah Ismail I in the battle of Gijduvan in 1512. It is also supposed that the final construction works were carried out on the funds of Ubaydulla-khan; the money received from the sale of 3000 captive Iranians to slavery.
Miri-Arab madrasah was the only spiritual educational establishment in the USSR that had begun to function after the WWII. All leading imams of those times had graduated from this religious center.
Название в переводе значит - медресе Арабского Эмира, то есть шейха Сайида Абдуллы аль-ЙаманиХазарамавти, как следует из имени - пришедшего из Йемена. Он принадлежал к суфийскому ордену Накшбандия, зародившемуся в Бухаре, и был наставником шейбанида Убайдуллы-хана, который в 1533 году перенёс столицу из Самарканда в Бухару, положив начало собственно Бухарскому ханству - и возможно, сделано это было не без влияния йеменца. По одной версии, медресе построено в 1510-х годах силами трёх тысяч пленных иранцев как памятник Гиждуванской битве 1512 года, победе шейбандискогоМавверанахра над севефидским Ираном; по другой - в 1530-х годах как символ новой столицы на деньги с продажи тех же 3000 персов-рабов. Как бы то ни было, среди многочисленной шейбанидской архитектуры Бухары это явный шедевр.
Until the Delmonico brothers opened their eponymous eatery in 1837,New York City didn't have a proper restaurant,just cafes and inns where diners had little control over what they were served.Delmonico's,New York's first a la carte restaurant on 2 South William Street,favored French cuisine,cloth-covered tables and a printed menu designed by the first "star chef," Charles Ranhofer.
The locations and owners changed hands many times over the years,and the current iteration of Delmonico's has no connection to the original beyond the name and the luxurious location,which faithfully replicates the subdued grandeur of a bygone era.The current owners,Ocinomled Ltd.,expanded with another location in Hell's Kitchen in 2012,but the old William Street spot (which the restaurant lists as 56 Beaver Street,but it's the same place) still serves some of the iconic dishes that made their world debut at the storied institution nearly 180 years ago.
Current Executive Chef Billy Oliva,who's been with Delmonico's for the past eight years,says the classics are still the restaurant's most popular dishes. "Delmonico's Steak,it's our signature ribeye," Oliva says of the restaurant's most popular dish. "Steak never goes out of style.It's a food that people are very familiar and comfortable with."
"People don’t eat the way they use to.People are much more health conscious and much more educated about where their food comes from.Is it farm-to-table?Is the restaurant supporting local purveyors?" Oliva observes. "Delmonico's was the first restaurant to offer farm-to-table dining [and] the Delmonico brothers started the first farm-to-table concept.Not satisfied by the quality of produce they could get in the markets of NYC,they bought a 220 acre farm in Williamsburg,Brooklyn and sourced their own.Today,we continue the Delmonico's brothers' standards and source from local purveyors.We know our farmers, our fishermen, etc."
Below,a few facts about the restaurant's history,as well as a glimpse at the current iteration of Delmonico's and its signature dishes.
The first Delmonico property was a French pastry cafe at 23 William Street that Swiss-born brothers John and Peter Delmonico opened with $20,000 in gold coins 1827. It was destroyed by a fire in 1835,which is when they began construction on the site of the modern-day Delmonico's.
The Delmonico brothers built the South William Street/Beaver Street restaurant to their exact specifications,with three floors dedicated to dining and the storage of wine.In 1890,the restaurant was completely rebuilt into an eight story structure.The pillars that flanked the entrance,allegedly imported from Pompeii,were moved to the new building.
Though its official name was Delmonico's Restaurant,the public actually referred to the restaurant as "The Citadel."
Delmonico's was the first restaurant to be reviewed by the Times in 1859. "No nobleman of England—no Marqui of ancienne noblesse—was ever better served or waited on in greater style than you will be in a private room at Delmonico's.The lights will be brilliant,the waiters will be curled and perfumed and gloved,the dishes will be strictly en regle and the wines will come with the precision of clock-work that has been duly wound up."
The Delmonico brothers purchased land in Williamsburg to grow their own vegetables,making the restaurant a (very) early adopter of the farm-to-table movement.It's said they grew produce like artichokes and other vegetables that weren't readily available to American diners.
The restaurant's very first menu reportedly offered things like Liver and Bacon,Beef or Mutton Stew,Ham and Eggs and Corn Beef and Cabbage.A "Regular Dinner" cost 12 cents.
Delmonico's claims to be the inventor of several notable dishes,including Eggs Benedict,Baked Alaska and Chicken A la Keene.Lobster Newburg appeared on the menu in 1876 after chef Charles Ranhofer "reined" the Lobster a la Wenberg dish originally created by a sea captain and Delmonico's regular named Ben Wenberg.
One story even claims that Ranhofer "introduced New York to the 'alligator pear' or avocado,"newly imported from South America.
Mark Twain celebrated his 70th birthday at Delmonico's,dining with Mrs.Woodrow Wilson,Dorothy Canfield,and his nephew Samuel E. Moffett.
Women were permitted to dine at Delmonico's in the early days but,like many restaurants of the time,only if they were accompanied by men.Special women's-only dining areas were the only places women could dine together without a male "chaperone."
The Delmonico's name was so synonymous with quality and fine dining that copycat Delmonico's restaurants popped up around the USA.
The Delmonico's owned several other Manhattan restaurants bearing the family name,as the brothers' nephew Lorenzo Delmonico followed the push of new establishments opening further uptown.The last Delmonico's closed in 1923.
Prohibition—along with constantly changing ownership among the Delmonico family heirs—contributed to Delmonico's demise.With no wine available for cooking,let alone drinking,and patrons shifting to at-home dining to booze without fear of raids,the restaurant couldn't survive.The final meal on May 21st,1923,was said to be served with mineral water.
The 2 South William Street space has operated as three different Delmonico's entities—all unaffiliated with the Delmonico family—from 1929 until today.The current owner,Ocinomled Ltd.,filed to trademark the name to make a Delmonico's steak sauce in 2004-The Gothamist
Since the establishment of the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad in the late 1980s, one of the more popular photo spots on the line has been this old Cumberland & Pennsylvania Bridge #2 (MP 180.4). Unfortunately, it's in a pretty heavily wooded area and keeping the spot suitable for photography has been a continual challenge. That has especially been true since Western Maryland Locomotive #734 went down for major maintenance several years ago, and there had been no photo events here in some time.
For 2022, with the former C&O 2-6-6-2 #1309 now in service on the line, crews from Trains Magazine and Lerro Photography have really been busy in the past year with the brush hogs and they've really opened the spot nicely once again. So, for the November, 2022 photo shoot, organized by Trains Magazine, we not only had a nicely-manicured spot from which to take this photo, but mother nature also rewarded us with clearing skies and bright fall sun. Wouldn't you know it, when Locomotive 1309 arrived with her coal train, she came through almost completely clean stack.....on BOTH runbys. :o(
Mount Grace Priory, in the parish of East Harlsey, North Yorkshire, England, within the North York Moors National Park, is today the best preserved and most accessible of the ten medieval Carthusian houses (charterhouses) in England.
Set in woodlands, it was founded in 1398 by Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey, the son of King Richard II's half-brother Thomas, Earl of Kent, it was the last monastery established in Yorkshire, and one of the few founded anywhere in Britain in the period between the Black Death (1349–50) and the Reformation. It was a fairly small establishment, with space for a prior and twenty-three monks.
Mount Grace Priory consisted of a church and two cloisters. The northern cloister had sixteen cells whilst the southern had five cells, Frater and Prior's house and the Chapter House. To the west stood the lay brothers' quarters and the guest house.
