Recently given the nostalgic looks of the bygone ICF Shatabdi livery along with those striking thunderbolts and red band on the sides, AJJ WAP-4 with road number 22726, gleaming in the early morning sunshine, negotiates a small curve as it hurtles towards Makalidurga at around 75kmph pulling the Mysore bound Basava express from Bagalkot.
Trajan's Market is the name given in the early 20th century CE to a complex of buildings in the imperial fora of Rome constructed in 107-110 CE during the reign of Trajan. The complex included a covered market, small shop fronts and a residential apartment block.
The complex was built at one end of Trajan's Forum and includes buildings that had a number of different functions, predominantly commercial. Constructed on three different levels into the terraced hillside behind, access to the various parts was provided via connecting staircases. The ground level shallow alcoves opened onto a street and were used for small shops whilst there were more shops in the arcades above. The ground level alcoves are of uneven depth due to the fact that they were constructed following the bedrock of the hill. Originally, they would have all been framed with travertine, extending their capacity for displaying goods. One alcove (5th from the left) has been restored to illustrate the original look and also has the typical window above the lintel.
The ground level shallow alcoves opened onto a street and were used for small shops whilst there were more shops in the arcades above.
On the upper level, access staircases were built at each end of via Biberatica running above the semi-circular façade. A large uppermost central building was used as an apartment block. . In front of the whole complex, separated by a tufa wall but accessible through a large central gateway, was the Exhedra and Porticus of Trajan's Forum.
The buildings are largely constructed using concrete and faced with brick, and it is one of the finest examples of Imperial Roman architecture using these materials. The decorative semi-circular façade includes brick pilasters with travertine bases and capitals framing each archway on the second level. Decorative brick-work gives an added elegance, including entablatures of carved brick and alternate triangular and semi-circular pediments. White stucco would have once covered much of this brickwork and the pilasters, entablature, and pediments display evidence of having once been painted red.
The name of the street on the upper level of the Market was via Biberatica, perhaps from the Latin biber - meaning drink - and hinting at the various drinking establishments which served the market shoppers. The principal products sold at the market would have come from across the empire and included fruit, vegetables, fish, wine, oil, and spices such as pepper.
The whole complex became part of a medieval fortress in the 12th and 13th centuries CE with the notable addition of the huge tower, the Torre delle Milizie. First properly excavated in the 1920s and 1930s CE, the site quickly acquired the name Trajan's Market and it not only stands as one of the most imposing ruins of Imperial Rome but is also the current home of the Museum of the Imperial Forums.[World History website]
Just right of the column is a restored shop to show the original design. Also note the marble sheet in front of the column.
Taken from, what was, Kiveton Colliery pit tip and now Kiveton Community Woodland, a nature reserve. I don't know why, but it makes me feel proud.
Given the departmental number ADB968013 when it was converted into a carriage heating unit, the former 31013 is at Doncaster works for scrap, being cut in August 1983.

From a graciously given and thankfully received borrowed camera with an adapted sensor to deliver Full Spectrum Photographs these images record something from the wavelengths of light that our eyes do not see bringing a representation of the Full Spectrum of light into tones that we can see.
You might see a discorporate hand, either five legs, maybe more, or less. They are my hand and legs.
The wavelengths visible to other than human eyes can be explored with a Full Spectrum Camera. My friend who loaned me this camera and a set of lenses and filters describes the experience of dogs that cannot easily discern between a red ball and the green of the grass on which it sits.
A Full Spectrum Digital Camera is often a modified camera that can record light beyond the human visible spectrum. By capturing ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light the images reveal a now visible representation of the sight given in the wider wavelengths. This can be achieved by removing the built-in UV/IR cut filter found in standard cameras, this allows for a wider range of light to reach the sensor and to be recorded in a manner visible to the human eye. With the addition of either external filters to the lens, or clip in to the sensor, photographers can choose to block certain wavelengths. These additional filters can be used to isolate ultraviolet UV, infrared IR, or human visible light to achieve specific effects that include using the camera for lowlight photography.

I have given, I have given and got none
Still, I'm driven by something I can't explain
It's not a cross, it is a choice
I cannot help but hear his voice
I only wish that I could listen without shame
Let it rain
Let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh, let it rain
Let it rain on me
I have been a witness to the perfect crime
I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
It isn't worth the tears you cry
To have a perfect alibi
Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game
Given Empire was our main target I timed the aerial assault so CN would be loading. Well, on our first pass the second half of the empty train was there but no power. As we moved on to Eagle Mills I saw the light power going under a haul road just north of Empire so it was easy pickings on our return attempt. Here the train (U741) loads at Empire's Super Pocket (the original unused loading pockets are off to the right)
You've given me a reason
For smiling once again,
You've filled my life with peaceful dreams
and you've become my closest friend.
You've shared your heartfelt secrets
And your trust you've given me,
You showed me how to feel again
To laugh, and love, and see.
If life should end tomorrow
And from this world I should part,
I shall be forever young
For you have touched my heart ~♥~
Wishing you all a
Happy Valentine's Day
Hugs & Kisses ~♥~

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Given that these were taken in July, and the temperature had been 25 to 30 degrees, I think this should be considered summer rather than spring. My Lathyrus has produced lots of flowers as usual, but I think the combination of heat and lack of water (in spite of us watering) has made the flowers rather shortlived.
This October has given us wonderful days, it's not raining, it's true, and this will be a problem, but after a torrid and so hot summer that did not allow it to stand out except in the shade, it's so enjoyable to absorb this sun and enjoy this light.....
I wish everyone an happy weekend....: )
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

The name originally given the "Big Hill" was the original 4.5% eastbound grade out of Field, BC, that directly assaulted the Continental Divide at Kicking Horse Pass, as a better solution could be engineered. Canada Highway 1 mostly follows this original line. The grade was realigned in 1909 with the Spriral Tunnels. This lowered most of the grade to 2.2%. However this section from Field to the Cathedral Tunnel is still 2.4% making it one of the steepest sections of mainline grade in North America. Railroaders still often refer to this mountain as "The Big Hill"....
Given its exciting history as a Wrightbus demonstrator, WHV111 must surely find working the no. 1 day in and day out rather dull.
Once in every blue moon a bus that isn't an LT gets to work on this route. Usually it's a bus from Camberwell, but using one from the no. 1 is doable as well. When the VWLs were still around they would rarely venture out onto the 453, despite most of them being properly blinded and not all that different from the Enviro400s of the day. Supposedly TfL did not approve of those workings, and I struggle to see why. Buses older than the VWLs have worked the route before, so it's not an age thing. They had the long wheelbase, but the LTs are even longer.
Because WHV111 used to have LED displays instead of rollerblinds, the front aperture is too small, which means at most angles some part of the blind is cut off.
The enormous Ever Given container ship, wedged in Egypt’s Suez Canal, is visible in new images captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission.
The giant container ship ran aground in the canal on 23 March on its journey from China to the Netherlands. The image on the left, captured on 21 March, shows routine maritime traffic in the canal with vessels visible every 2 to 3 km. The image on the right, captured on 25 March, shows the 400 m-ship blocking the canal.
The canal connects Port Said on the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Egyptian city of Suez on the Red Sea. The blockage has delayed hundreds of tankers and vessels in reaching their destination, and more maritime traffic is still heading to the crucial waterway. Ships can be seen accumulating in the Gulf of Suez.
Tug boats are working hard to dislodge the 200 000 tonne ship, however Egyptian authorities say it is unclear when the route will reopen.
The two identical Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites carry radar instruments to provide an all-weather, day-and-night supply of imagery of Earth’s surface, making it ideal to monitor ship traffic.
The sea surface reflects the radar signal away from the satellite, and makes water appear dark in the image. This contrasts with metal objects, in this case the ships in the bay, which appear as bright dots in the dark waters.

r was first given the right to hold markets in 1066 by the newly victorious William the Conqueror. In a congratulatory gesture, he conferred the title of Manor of Manchester upon one of his valued knights. And with the honour came the privilege of holding markets and fairs.
The council's longstanding link with markets was created in 1845, when the authority bought the city's Market Rights from Sir Oswald Moseley. A year later, the Corporation of Manchester was given the power to provide and regulate markets in the city under the 1846 Manchester Markets Act.
For the next three decades, most markets in the city served the wholesale trade, dealing mostly in the slaughter of livestock and the preparation of meat for cold stores and general sale.
In 1872, the Smithfield area around Shude Hill and Thomas Street was transformed by the creation of the wholesale fruit, vegetable and fish markets. Situated in what is now known as the Northern Quarter, Smithfield was a cavernous structure filled with the vibrancy and chaos of goods being loaded and deals being made.
The beautifully carved arches of the original fish market can still be seen from the cobbles of the High Street.
The fringes of the area became a haven for retail stalls and barrow boys, selling anything from buns to books. The remnants of this early era can still be seen in Church Street and Shude Hill.
Given the number of good diesel buses withdrawn from London service before their time is truly up, it would be nice to do more with them. That's why a technology startup by the name of Vantage Power has decided to design a hybrid drive system, that will fit in the engine bay of a Volvo B7TL.
A few of London General's buses have been used as prototypes for this idea, which so far are PVL73, WVL94 and WVL95. There is a view to try a few of Arriva's buses too. While PVL73 is being tested outside of the capital, WVLs 94 and 95 are being trialed on route 87 at Stockwell, which is where they were used when new. WVL95 worked alongside its sister WVL96 today on the 87, which made for a rather interesting comparison.
It does still ride like a B7TL, and seems to pull quite well. It is noisy, but the original equipment wasn't exactly quiet either. Overall I think it's a very good start to something promising, and I commend Vantage Power for their effort.
If you want to hear what it sounds like, I've uploaded a video of it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gAANyRe0bs
My Santa cup was given to me by a friend years ago. I think it is actually a soup cup but, I use it for my coffee year round. She passed away from cancer three years ago. I miss her but, still have sweet memories of her as I drink my coffee. On the handle are painted the words; Here Comes Santa Claus.
When you visit Eltham Palace you are given a multimedia device, which informs you all about this historic building.

Galápagos sea lion — Zalophus wollebaeki
How this is determined
Location given: Galápagos Islands.
External ear flaps visible → sea lion (not a true seal).
Sleek, dog-like head profile and long foreflippers.
Uniform golden-brown coat typical of Galápagos sea lions.
Body proportions match adult or subadult individual at rest.
Description:
A single sea lion is stretched out on pale sand, resting beside dark volcanic rocks. The animal is lying on its side with eyes closed, body relaxed, and one foreflipper folded along its back. Low, warm-angle sunlight highlights the smooth, golden-brown coat and creates strong contrast between the illuminated body and the darker rocks in the foreground.
The beach surface is mostly smooth with scattered small clumps and footprints, suggesting a lightly traveled shoreline. The black, porous rocks at the lower edge indicate a volcanic coastal environment typical of the Galápagos. The background falls out of focus into open sand, keeping attention on the sea lion’s elongated form and texture.
Overall impression: a quiet haul-out moment—still, warm, and undisturbed—showing a resting marine mammal in a stark volcanic beach setting.
Given that the Nobel prize giving ceremony and all the sparkle and glitter associated with it has had to be postponed, they have tried to lift spirits by lighting up some of the city’s buildings. I was with some lovely photographers doing a small tour of these, of course I didn’t really photograph the main event. Instead I looked around for something a little different.
The Plan:
Given that I have done no printing this summer due to the fact that my DIY darkroom was a sauna for three months running added to which I had constant interruptions.. I am now getting my creative life into gear again.
The plan is to shoot ten rolls of film (two completed) before Sept 17 and from them choose about ten shots I deem to be worthy of printing and over one week set myself to produce the work as I see it and desire it to be.
That's the plan... he said.
These two are taken on my Mamiya C330s Pro with Kodak Tmax 400 (expired) developed (9 minutes) in Rodinal.
These so far are two candidates. I am scanning the other roll today.

Excerpts from news on line from the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) interview of Mrs. Imelda Marcos by Jocelyn Dimaculangan, September 17,2009
PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked the widow of the late Ferdinand Marcos how she felt about this tribute.
" Well, I am so happy that after all these years, the CCP is still producing so many great artists that we Filipinos can be proud of, " said Imelda. The sanctuary that we started to build 44 years ago, has become a sanctuary for the Filipino soul, a monument to the Filipino spirit, and has really given life to the spirits of our people. And it is here where the good, true and beautiful has become real.
"And so I am very grateful to the artists. I' am very grateful to everybody for making this Cultural Center a sanctuary for the Filipino soul and spirit. Hopefully, what is beautiful in all of us, will also unite us, not only enrich us and give us a great future. I pray and hope that this future is here forever. and i know it will.
" There is no politics involved here. We are honoring her not as the former first lady but as the founding chair of the CCP. The event is a tribute to her by the artists whom she helped, so let us take off the political color, " Sunico told the Inquirer by phone.
Two acts ! The first, a command performance type where the stars of Philippine Classical music would each shine with their spot numbers. Then , a second act where 'a little craziness" would be involved. We knew what we wanted images, we knew we wanted to evoke a sense of history, perhaps even irony. We knew we didn't want a puff piece, but one that a sense of folly, survival tragedy and continuum.
Thus, tonight's show combines the electric formality of a gala as well as the inspired madness of performance Art. Hopefully, the First Act
expresses the thanks of the artists whom Imelda has supported. As for the Second Act, well... the images will have to speak for themselves.
Imelda Marcos has always been many things to many people. This tribute or distillation or whatever is all about the Myth of the Muse and the resulting madness that inspires artists. Whatever else, one may think or say of Imelda, that contribution cannot be dismissed.

World Famous pianist , LICAD , to perform at Link Center
by M. Scott Morris / NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO - Music is an international language, and pianist Cecile Licad has earned applause around the globe.
A native of the Philippines, Licad will open the Tupelo Symphony Orchestra's season on Saturday at Link Center Concert Hall.
" Good is not a word to use for her, " said Dr. Noel Garcia, a Houston physician who helped arrange Licad's performance. " Such a person comes along once a generation.. "
The concert will be presented by TSO and the Philippine Society of Tupelo and friends.
She has performed with symphonies in Boston, New York, Tokyo, London, and beyond. During her Tupelo visit, it'll just be Licad, TSO's Steinway concert grand piano and the audience.
Garcia, also a native of the Philippines, saw Licad's February performance at the University of Memphis. He decided it was time to bring her to Northeast Mississippi.
" We raised the money, " Garcia said. " Doctors I know helped, and a lot of music lovers.
Deedee Cantrall, a Tupelo resident and a native of the Philippines, said Elvis Presley might have helped make the concert possible.
Cantrall lives on Elvis Boulevard, which Licad's manager noticed in an e-mail.
" He said she doesn't usually perform in small cities, but it is the birthplace of Elvis Presley. They got excited, " Cantrall said." Her manager said she is a fan. "
Don't expect any Elvis tunes during her concert. Licad will perform Beethoven's sonata, " Pathetique. "
" It's really a difficult piece, " Garcia said, " and an extra difficult piece to play well."
She'll also perform two works by Franz Liszt and two by a Filipino composer.
" when I see people like her, people who do so well, it inspire me to do what I can do as well as I can, " Garcia said. I can never play like her, but at least I can watch. I can listen. She is amazing. "
(September 6,2009) excerpts from an interview of Life & Style by Millet Mananquil of the Philippine Star
' THERE' S A LITTLE IMELDA IN ALL OF US
1. As First Lady, you were always surrounded by your Blue Ladies. are they still around?
There are still a few, you know, you still have friends if you have a little clout. There will be friends, yes, but only because they want this or that. Magpapasama ka lang nga, di ka masamahan.
2. Where are your most loyal friends?
gone...I have acquaintances, yes. But friends ?
3. Did anyone among them give you help when you needed it?
Sometimes, they cannot even help themselves, so how can they help me ? I was just lucky that for my trial in New york, Doris Duke was there. It was at this point, the millions of so- called friends, I could'nt find. ( Libyan President Muammar) Khadafi offered to give my bail of $5 million, but fortunately we didn't have to take it because Doris was there, when I was First Lady, I was nice to her, when I was no longer First Lady, she was still there...
4. What about your admirers?
Definitely, high-ranking and rich people tried to come and take care of me.
5. Having been widowed, was there ever a time when you thought of considering anyone from among your admirers? Did you find anyone worthy of attention ?
More than worthy admirers, what I needed most was my motherland..At this stage of my life, it's hard to find someone as prefect as Ferdinand was. The longer his gone, the more perfect he becomes.
6. Having gone through exile, court cases, and having been abandoned by friends and losing all your possessions, what else can make you cry now?
I cry at the thought that I have been orphaned too many times- I lost my mother when I was eight, I lost my husband, and I was orphaned away from my motherland. Even the Bible says there is a special place in hell for those who oppress widows and orphans.
7. Who are your Oppressors?
I have been persecuted, maligned and ridiculed. The ones who persecuted me were not individuals, but governments and superpowers. but I won my case and was cleared after the trial of the century where they questioned the four major buildings I bought in New York- the tallest building in Wall Street, the most beautiful building on Fifth Avenue, another on Madison...Look at the attack on the Twin Tower buildings, when did it happened? it was on 9 / 11, the birthday of Ferdinand. I believe there's a significance to that. there are no coincidences. there is such a thing as Karma... I have no bitterness in my heart nor anger in my soul. I believe in divine justice... The justice system works. God bless America.
8. How did you react to Newsweek's citing you in their list of " History's 11Greediest people" ?
I had mixed feelings. Genghis Khan was on the list too, and he was the greatest conqueror of mankind. Mrs. Marcos did not conquer the world with weapons...But I plead guilty to being greedy for the true, the good and the beautiful..the press both local and international, they have persecuted me. But I understand that is freedom of the press. They also have a deadline to meet, and they don't have time to research on the truth.
9. What could be the worst lie ever written about you ?
All they said which I was not. That I was a demon, a criminal, that I killed Ninoy. I liked Ninoy, he was even related to me by affinity. Speaker Romualdez's wife was Paz Aquino Gueco.. I even prayed for Cory when was hospitalized.
10. One of your children said that it was you who urged them to offer their condolences to the Aquino family during the wake for President Cory.
Yes, and i even asked the Marcos loyalists in Tondo to pray for her.
11. Is it Bongbong who will be the family's next political torch bearer ?
Bongbong is not only a visionary, he is also a doer. All my three children are brilliant. Imee is an Intellectual, and now she is busy helping street children. Irene nurtures and takes care of young musicians...The Lord has also blessed me with eight grandchildren, all boys. Bongbong and Lisa ( Araneta) have Sandro, Simon and Vincent who are now studying in London. Imee has Borgy, Michael and Mathew (with ex-husband Tommy Manotoc), and Irene and Greggy (Araneta) have Alfonso and Luis.
12. Next week, the Cultural Center of the Philippines which you inaugurated on the eve of your husband's birthday, September 10, 1969, is celebrating its 40th anniversary...
You know, I built the CCP as a sanctuary of the Filipino soul and a monument to the Filipino spirit. But after our exile, it was no longer that way. The soul is gone, the spirit is gone.
13. After your exile in Hawaii, how did it feel coming back to the CCP to watch a show?
Well, they gave me a seat nearest the bathroom of the CCP. But that's ok...I built this Kingdom, and wherever you sit is stone.
14. Perhaps the CCP presentation, " Seven Arts, One Imelda " on September 11, under the new CCP president Raul Sunico, one of your music scholars, will make up for that.
Yes, Raul is such a gifted person, I am sure he has the vision to bring back the soul and the spirit to the CCP..
You know , it's funny how even John D. Rockefeller was amazed at how I was able to build the CCP. During a visit here right after Ferdinand was elected President, I showed Rockefeller the Manila Bay area where I planned to build the CCP, He said: " But my dear girl, that's all water! ".....I said, " No. Mr. Rockefeller, I can do it...On the first year, I'll drive the file. On the second year, I'll cover the soil. On the third year, the building will rise. On the fourth year, the curtain will rise. "
15. You were able to rush construction of buildings to meet your target schedules. And it was said that in Malacanang, you worked till early morning and hardly slept. How's your typical day ?
Well, these days, I still sleep at 3 a.m. and wake up after two or three or five hours.
16. What do you do for relaxation ?
Now I am busy making jewelry out of basura (garbage). You see my brooch and earrings ? These are made from left over stones, resins and beads. Part of Imelda collection which was put together by Imee and Borgy years ago, and it's selling so fast, they can't produce enough.
17. What about these dolls in ternos ? They look like Imelda dolls.
Yes, these are made by people from Mindanao, and I'm glad they're making so much money on these. The workers buy dried coconut husk for one peso, then they make the doll and sell it for P150 each.
That's big business for them.
18. And that's a comfortable, stylized terno you're wearing.
Ay, I bought the material at 168 in Divisoria, which is my favorite shopping place now, and had my mananahi (seamstress) sew it at home.
19. Have you tried the new shopping places in town?
Yes, pag tumatanda ka na ( as you get old), you want to discover new things and new places. Yes, I've been to SM, Greenbelt, Serendra, , although I just enjoy looking, I can't afford even their sales. The nice thing when you go to 168 is that you see other people like you who are as deprived as you, and they can afford the same things that you like.
20. How many pair of shoes do you own now ?
I may have more than 3,000 pairs now because after the government got my shoes, people have been giving me , especially for my birthday. I just got another Marikina pair from Bayani Fernando, because I have been supportive of their Shoe Museum. For that matter, even the Metropolitan Museum of New York gave me a series of shoes, one of the biggest shows they've had.
21. At 80, you're still looking good. What's your beauty secret?
If I had bitterness in my soul, I wouldn't have lasted this long.
I always have something beautiful inside me, Maybe that's my only beauty secret. Because I do all the wrong things. I don't sleep enough. My makeup I do myself, and everybody complains that I don't do it well.
22. Tell us about your happiest moments in Hawaii.
I have none.... But yes, I was happiest when I was by the side of Ferdinand longer than any time, because we were married 35 years, and i was First Lady 20 years of that and busy getting used to political life. Today, he is more with me than before, I always consult him before doing anything.
23. The remains of your husband are still in Ilocos. Where and when do you plan to hold a burial ?
When I finish all my cares, I will fulfill his wish of an honorable burial. It may not be the Libingan ng Mga Bayani because even dogs are there now.
24. Famous people are always asked what words they want written as their epitaph. How about yours?
" Here lies love. "
' IMELDA, ' THE NEW MUSICAL OPENS IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK
(philstar.com) updated October 15, 2009 09:05 AM
New York --- ' Imelda,' a new musical of former First Lady Imelda Marcos, is showing at the Julia Miles Theater in New York until Oct. 18.
Staged by Pan Asian Repertory Theater, the musical spans the years after Philippine Independence in the 1940's to the Marcoses' fall from grace in the 1980s.
Pan Asian Repertory said in its website the musical is a " story of a powerful and controversial figure...an ambitious woman who wants to make her country an equal player on the world stage, "
Directed by Tim Dang, the musical opened last September 22 and will run until October 18. Among its many highlights are the songs " A Beautiful Place, " sung by Imelda Marcos, " If I Had Raised a Butterfly, " sung by former strongman Ferdinand Marcos and Ninoy Aquino, and " Myself, My Heart, " sung by Cory Aquino after her husband's assassination.
The New York Times has published a review of the show with good words for the show's lead star.
" The New York premiere has taken it up a notch with f-foot-6 " Miss Saigon" and "Aida " vet Jaycee Macapugay as Imelda. And Chou has made sure she is properly swathed in Imeldific ( a self-coined adjective that Meldy used to mean " ostentatious extravagance") wear, " it said.
And what is an Imelda musical without the famed shoes?
" Of course, there are shoes, " The New York Times review said. " And a song about them., " 3,000 Pairs of Shoes " - though Imelda insists there were only 1,060 ( " Why the thrills for my espadrills? What boring chat, I will tell my story, all without this Imelda Marcos shoe mystique. Love and Youth, tragedy and truth, laughs, romance and all that. Talk of shoes, what a pain. I'm here to entertain).
PRESS and REVIEWS FOR IMELDA : A NEW MUSICAL
The show I've seen is Imelda the friend, By Cindy Adams NY Post
Some show called " Imelda" by some company called Pan Asian Repertory is currently at some off-Broad way theater called Julia Miles. I haven't seen it. I have, however, seen and long known Imelda Marcos, the former first lady of the Philippines. She was my friend for many years. A production based on her life unlooses many memories. Like:
In the 70's, I was a director of the Miss Universe pageant. The event was previously staged in such domestic locations as California and Puerto Rico. Phoning my friend, I suggested sunny tropical Manila as the next venue. Celebrating her country on international TV? To 500 million viewers? Imelda loved the idea. She built a glorious new theater just for the telecast. It was open on three sides.
The eve of the telecast brought news that an imminent hurricane threatened the island of Luzon. The TV people, The sponsors, the organizers, everyone freaked. Imelda, not. In the presidential palace she calmly told me, " I will stop this hurricane. " what? Come again, lady? Imelda sent the Philippine Air Force up in Piper Cubs, which are roughly the size of my eyelashes, with orders to seed the clouds. Being neither meteorologist nor physicist, I don't recall exactly what they used, but I remember something like silver nitrate bullets.
All I know- and anyone involved will underscore what I now write- Is: Those ominous dark clouds floated out to sea and, within a 50-mile
radius of Luzon, the sun shone brightly and remained that way throughout the telecast. Just 48 hours later, the whole island was battered with a killer hurricane, the main drag Roxas Boulevard was flooded, and we were locked in for days.
Another memory. The time I flew over, bringing a whole platoon of television officials. She planned a lavish nighttime party. Songs, dancing, entertainment and feasting to celebrate. The problem was, crossing the world meant a forever endless flight. NASA gets to the moon faster. However, the first lady, who never slept more than three or four hours, arranged this gala for the very day we arrived. Hastily showered, barely unpacked, I was bedraggled and hadn't slept. She seated me in place of honor- on President Marcos's right. Despite trying to buy them up and bury them, there exist a photos of me fast asleep on his chest. My head laying across the top of the presidential body like the Order of the Garter.
Another memory. New York. The two of us shopping. In the late Pauline's Trigere's showroom. Standing in underwear like anyone else, Imelda picked a large selection, and payment came ( weeks later Trigere called me to call her to get it) by the hand of a staffer. One envelope. Thousands in cash. Nice crisp bills.
And no matter how long we were out or where we went, she never needed the ladies' room. Said the wife of Ferdinand Marcos. then president of the Philippines: " I watch whatever water or liquids I drink before I go out. It is not chic for a first lady to pee."
As I write, I am staring at the front pages on my office wall.
Stories of Imelda on trial here, accused of making a few hundred million dollars disappear. I was with her, every day, for months, in federal court in New York. The Wenesday, Nov. 2, 1988, front page, " Fallen first lady of the Philippines talks to Cindy Adams about her bail. " The previous afternoon a priest had come to hold a private Mass for her in the living room. Afterward, it was just we too in her Waldorf suite when Doris Duke, accompanied by lawyers, presented $ 5 million to keep her out of jail. Into the living room rushed aides and in Tagalog, which I don't speak- but which they translated-said Miss Duke was on her way up. Pushing me into the guest john in the foyer right outside the living room, they quickly shut the door. I heard everything.
Friday, June 1, 1990, the picture of Imelda collapsed, getting oxygen on a stretcher. The headline. " Cindy Adams at New York Hospital with stricken Imelda Marcos. " .... I was with her the day they found her not guilty and she went the entire length of St. Patrick's center aisle, front door to holy altar, on her knees.
I was with her all over the world when she'd party until dawn singing. Her favorite was " The Yellow Rose of Texas." I was with her in Persepolis, Iran, when we were both guests of the Shah. I was with her when she said she wasn't terrified because " I have faith in God, and the opposite side of danger is opportunity. " I was with her with exiled President Marcos in their small hous when she was still first lady and when she played with a trunkful of jewelry . I was with her when she talked of friendships with George Hamilton, Gloria Vanderbilt, Van Cliburn.
And I was with her in her post-exile, post- trial East 80s townhouse when she gave a rooftop dinner. attempting to reclaim those once-heady glory days, she served lamb couscous and pigeon pie, saying, " The King of Morocco personally sent this. " Caterer Samir Billan, who today owns the Upper East Side restaurant Michelle's Kitchen and who I knew because I, too, used him, told me. " Mrs. Marcos ordered this, and I cooked it and sent it over. "
No, I have not seen the play " Imelda".... but... yes...I know Imelda Marcos.
Imelda, The Musical !
Thursday September 10,2009
The Village Voice, New York News Blog
By Michael Musto in Featured, politics, theater
You'll have to suspend disbelief and trust me on this one, people. It's time for Evita to finally step back and make way for a lady with far better footwear.
You see, The Pan Asian Repertory Theater has announced the East Coast premiere of IMELDA, A New Musical, " a portrait of the ambitious and controversial woman ofter referred to as " The Steel Butterfly. " The musical spans the 1940s to 1980s, the pivotal years after the Philippines gained its independence. Imelda Marcos wanted to set her country as an equal player on the world stage and gain the respect of the world. " And she looked fabulous while doing so, darlings !
I just pray the show doesn't waste time with songs about trivial stuff like how Imelda hubby's top political rival was mysteriously assassinated. I only want lots of splashy numbers about her shoe collection.
The limited engagement plays September 22nd - October 18th at the Julia Miles Theater, 424 West 55th Street.
Given to me by a friend, some have scratches but they are all complete and are in all round, very good condition.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

This amazing castle was the last Royalist stronghold in the south west. It held out against the Parliamentarian forces (Roundheads) until betrayed by one of the officers. Lady Mary Bankes had held Corfe against two sieges but had to surrender when enemy troops had been allowed inside by her officer Colonel Pitman.
The Roundheads then spent some time using vast quantities of gunpowder trying to destroy it!
They allowed Lady Mary Bankes to go to her home at Kingston Lacey and was given the keys of the castle which can still be seen at Kingston Lacey.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS!
