O Vale dos Vinhedos é uma região que ocupa uma área de 82 quilômetros quadrados na região serrana do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, a 130 quilômetros de Porto Alegre, capital do estado. O Vale dos Vinhedos compreende parte dos municípios de Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi e Monte Belo do Sul, sendo sua maior parte formada pelo distrito de mesmo nome, no município de Bento Gonçalves. A rodovia RS-444 tem início na RST-470, ao sul da cidade de Bento Gonçalves e segue no sentido oeste pelo vale em direção a Monte Belo do Sul.
Os vinhos do Vale são os únicos do país a apresentar o Selo de Indicação de Procedência, sendo garantida pela APROVALE a origem dos vinhos finos ali produzidos.
A área, de suaves colinas cobertas por parreirais, plátanos e araucárias. Atualmente é conhecida como região que produz os melhores vinhos brasileiros.
O Vale dos Vinhedos representa o legado cultural e histórico deixado pelos imigrantes italianos, chegados ao Brasil em 1875 em Bento Gonçalves. Os costumes e tradições estão enraizados nas pessoas e, até mesmo, na paisagem do Vale dos Vinhedos. A construção de capelas e capitéis, a devoção aos santos, o dialeto vêneto e, principalmente, o cultivo da videira e a produção do vinho são marcas da imigração italiana.
Vales e montanhas cobertos de parreirais marcam a beleza do Vale dos Vinhedos, hoje visitado por quem aprecia o enoturismo. São pequenas propriedades rurais dividindo espaço com vinícolas renomadas, que ao longo dos últimos anos conquistaram destaque nacional e internacional pela qualidade e personalidade dos seus vinhos.

The Valley of the Vineyards is a region that occupies an area of 82 square kilometers in the mountainous region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, 130 kilometers from Porto Alegre, the state capital. The Valley of the Vineyards comprises part of the cities of Bento Gonçalves, Garibaldi and Monte Belo do Sul, formed mostly by the district of the same name, in the municipality of Bento Gonçalves. The RS-444 highway begins in RST-470, south of the city of Bento Gonçalves and continues westward toward the valley to Monte Belo do Sul
Wines from the Valley are the only country to have the Seal of indication of origin, being guaranteed by APROVALE the origin of the wines produced there.
The area of rolling hills covered with vineyards, pines and sycamores. Today is known as a region that produces the best Brazilian wines.
The Valley of the Vineyards represents the cultural and historical legacy left by Italian immigrants arrived in Brazil in 1875 in Bento Goncalves. Customs and traditions are rooted in people and even the landscape of the Valley of the Vineyards. The construction of chapels and capitals, devotion to the saints, the Venetian dialect, and especially the cultivation of the vine and winemaking are brands of Italian immigration.
Valleys and mountains covered with vineyards dot the beauty of the Valley of the Vineyards, today visited by those who enjoy wine tourism. Small farms are sharing space with renowned wineries, which over the past few years gained prominence nationally and internationally for quality and personality of their wines.

Getting towards the end of the season now, Tuesday the 8th December and all indications are is that this year, the diagrams will finish on Saturday, with 37402 and 37716 as it turned out this morning, ending a more successful run of the DRS RHTT this year in the in the last 2 or 3; the class 37s probably helped a lot. With a blue rake of FEA-B RHTT A Tank Wagons, the bits of colour contrasting with the now winter browns in this cutting at Owlerton and not to the south of here, Parkwood Springs. The hills rise in the background to the area over on the far right, which was once the home of the Sheffield Ski Village and which saw fires destroy it finally in 2012 after only a 14 year history; the land having been derelict since then. Rumour has it, that the space is now to be used for the Sheffield Snowsports Centre and possibly a Mountain Bike Centre, the history of the area reads fairly bleakly, see-
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheffield_Ski_Village
To the left of the cutting, a vast area of Victorian burials can be found with some rather austere and at night, spooky looking mausoleums and other grave monuments which reflected in part, some of the wealth of the Victorians who are buried here. Having come under one of the well constructed M.S.L.R bridges along this line, the set now heads on down towards Hillfoot, Neepsend and Woodburn Junction with D.R.S. class 37, 37402, ex-D974, 'Stephen Middlemore 23.12.1954 - 8.6.2013' with 'B.R. Large Intercity Logo', though its hard to see under the grime at the front, with 37423, ex-D6996, 'Spirit of the Lakes' at the back now, on the 3S14, Stocksbridge Works via Woodburn and Rotherham Central to Hull, on the Rail Head Treatment Train working. The line and ballast look in good order here which is a surprise as apart from the two runs up here this year by the RHTT, and the Sandrover, 3 days a week during the same period, this is the only regular care it gets.
Sadly there are only two street view images of this site which gives no indication as to when this site closed down and was vacated.
The earliest image (2009) shows the site in its finery, a lovely, tidy, well presented site with a nice row of Gilbarco Highline pumps, although a sign at the forecourt entrance indicates that the garage was only selling diesel, so I think no more than two pumps were in use.
Another pump appears to be situated at the edge of the forecourt, concealed within the bushes and seems to have remained unused for a considerable amount of time
The totem pole is dominated by the name of the owner with the One Green Route logo secondary to this, also the totem displays Bio Plus, which appears to be bio fuels.
The latest street view image is from August 2024, which was four months before I got my photographs of the site, this again doesn't give any indication of when the site closed but looking at the state of the place It's clearly been some time.
There is plenty of evidence showing that this had been a Burmah site, possibly the last brand before the change to One Green Route.
The pump at the edge of the forecourt, now the only one left on the site which now bears the previous brand.
This is one of several filling stations in the A68 that have closed down.

The first known indication of the presence of a ferry comes from a map of Ile Bizard dated 1869.
The text tells us that in 1861 a ferry linked Île Bizard to Ste-Dorothée and moved with the help of oars and poles in the current of the Rivière des Prairies.
This way of proceeding was modernized in 1903 when Vital Bigras installed an aerial cable between the two banks at twenty-five feet above the river. This cable has of course been changed several times, but the trailing principle has been retained.
The ferry consumes little energy since it is propelled solely by the force of the current of the river.
Omer Bigras acquired this ferry in 1933.
On April 18, 1987, the third boat since 1903, the Paule II was inaugurated. This steel ferry works with the same means of propulsion. It is guided by cables connected to a hydraulic system and can now accommodate six vehicles instead of two.

Durante il percorso, notammo un piccola indicazione che indicava "Anfiteatro Romano". Optammo per la deviazione e imboccamo la stradina. Lì per lì pensammo di aver sbagliato strada ed esserci persi nel labirinto di case (bellissime!)...eppure doveva esser visibile...si poteva però salire più su e dalla piccola altura lo scorgemmo.
Quello che rimaneva dell'anfiteatro I sec d.C., quel muro/i, era parte delle gradinate ancora parzialmente conservate e visibili, perfettamente incastonato tra le case medievali XII sec., disposte in modo da preservare la sua forma elittica.
Infatti se fate una ricerca da satellite per Assisi (dai dai! :)!) potete benissimo vedere TUTTA la struttura, incredibile.!.. (non so come postarlo qui :((!, dai dai!).
E' un bellissimo esempio di riutilizzazione di un edificio romano.
Buon giorno!!

During the walk we noticed a little indication that showed "Roman Anphitheatre". We decided to make the diversion and walk in that direction. At certain point we come up with the doubt to have taken the wrong path and be lost in the labirint of houses (so beautiful!)...yet it should be visible (!)...we could climb a little bit higher and from that point we notice it.
The rest of the Anphitheatre (I sec. after C.), that wall/s, was part of the tiers part preserved and visible, perfectly set between medieval houses (XII sec.), disposed in a way to preserve the "oval" form (don't know exact translation :(!).
Infact If you make a search on satellite for Assisi (googl..please please do it :)!) you can see it perfectly, ALL the structure!!, incredible!...(I don't know how to post it here so..:((! come on, how can I explain you, is ALL, not only walls...go and see :)))!). It's a beautiful example of roman structure's reuse.
Buon giorno!!

I think it may finally be here if these leaves are any indication. Aimée wanted to get a closer look at them. I guess I made her a tree climbing outfit.

The shell of the keep contains indications of three internal levels, but there is thought to have once been a fourth. Like most such simple early keeps, the ground floor would have been used for storage; the first floor held the Hall, and the two upper floors, the Lord's apartments. Retainers and any garrison there may have been, would have been accommodated in the buildings out on the promontory.
There is no obvious doorway at ground-floor level, for the very good reasons that there wasn't one here! The door, as is usual for castle's of this period, was at first floor level, in the south-east corner, where the draw-bar socket is apparently still to be seen.

No indication of the photographer for this cabinet card which has a plain back.
At first glance it appears that 4 people in the photo are wearing spotty white overalls and a pinafore! Though this mottling effect is seen throughout the photo so it is isn't some unusual Victorian dress . I presume these are workers for a bakers or butchers posing perhaps with the owner of the shop who is not wearing an overall. The two standing on the right are happy to rest hands on the gent sitting down but the fellow on the right doesn't get such a friendly advance
Bronzino (1503-1572), actif à Florence
Sainte Famille avec sainte Anne et petit saint Jean-Baptiste, 1540
Le petit Jean prend la position la plus avancée. Regard et geste montrent sur l'enfant Jésus, le spectateur frontalement présenté. Derrière lequel se tient Marie, celui-ci touchant affectueusement. La composition est élargie par Anna et Joseph. Bronzino augmente la représentation nettement définie et sculpturale jusqu'à une froide de pierre, surtout capturant les deux garçons - probablement aussi une indication de la rivalité des peintres avec la sculpture, dans la théorie de l'art du moment sans cesse thématisée.
Bronzino (1503-1572), tätig in Florenz
Heilige Familie mit Heiliger Anna und Johannesknaben, um 1540
Der Johannesknabe nimmt die vorderste Position ein. Blick und Geste deuten auf das dem Betrachter frontal präsentierte Jesuskind. Dahinter steht, diesen liebevoll berührend, Maria. Die Komposition wird durch Anna und Joseph erweitert. Bronzino steigert die scharf umrissene und skulpturale Darstellung bis hin zu steinerner Kälte, die besonders die beiden Knaben erfasst - wohl auch ein Indiz für den in der Kunsttheorie der Zeit immer wieder thematisierten Wettstreit der Maler mit der Bildhauerei.

Main building of the Kunsthistorisches Museum at Maria-Theresa-Square
The Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM abbreviated) is an art museum in Vienna. It is one of the largest and most important museums in the world. It was opened in 1891 and 2012 visited of 1.351.940 million people.
The museum
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is with its opposite sister building, the Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum), the most important historicist large buildings of the Ringstrasse time. Together they stand around the Maria Theresa square, on which also the Maria Theresa monument stands. This course spans the former glacis between today's ring road and 2-line, and is forming a historical landmark that also belongs to World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Vienna.
History
Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his Gallery
The Museum came from the collections of the Habsburgs, especially from the portrait and armor collections of Ferdinand of Tyrol, the collection of Emperor Rudolf II (most of which, however scattered) and the art collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm into existence. Already In 1833 asked Joseph Arneth, curator (and later director) of the Imperial Coins and Antiquities Cabinet, bringing together all the imperial collections in a single building .
Architectural History
The contract to build the museum in the city had been given in 1858 by Emperor Franz Joseph. Subsequently, many designs were submitted for the ring road zone. Plans by August Sicard von Sicardsburg and Eduard van der Null planned to build two museum buildings in the immediate aftermath of the Imperial Palace on the left and right of the Heroes' Square (Heldenplatz). The architect Ludwig Förster planned museum buildings between the Schwarzenberg Square and the City Park, Martin Ritter von Kink favored buildings at the corner Währingerstraße/ Scots ring (Schottenring), Peter Joseph, the area Bellariastraße, Moritz von Loehr the south side of the opera ring, and Ludwig Zettl the southeast side of the grain market (Getreidemarkt).
From 1867, a competition was announced for the museums, and thereby set their current position - at the request of the Emperor, the museum should not be too close to the Imperial Palace, but arise beyond the ring road. The architect Carl von Hasenauer participated in this competition and was able the at that time in Zürich operating Gottfried Semper to encourage to work together. The two museum buildings should be built here in the sense of the style of the Italian Renaissance. The plans got the benevolence of the imperial family. In April 1869, there was an audience with of Joseph Semper at the Emperor Franz Joseph and an oral contract was concluded, in July 1870 was issued the written order to Semper and Hasenauer.
Crucial for the success of Semper and Hasenauer against the projects of other architects were among others Semper's vision of a large building complex called "Imperial Forum", in which the museums would have been a part of. Not least by the death of Semper in 1879 came the Imperial Forum not as planned for execution, the two museums were built, however.
Construction of the two museums began without ceremony on 27 November 1871 instead. Semper moved to Vienna in the sequence. From the beginning, there were considerable personal differences between him and Hasenauer, who finally in 1877 took over sole construction management. 1874, the scaffolds were placed up to the attic and the first floor completed, built in 1878, the first windows installed in 1879, the Attica and the balustrade from 1880 to 1881 and built the dome and the Tabernacle. The dome is topped with a bronze statue of Pallas Athena by Johannes Benk.
The lighting and air conditioning concept with double glazing of the ceilings made the renunciation of artificial light (especially at that time, as gas light) possible, but this resulted due to seasonal variations depending on daylight to different opening times .

Empire
The Kunsthistorisches Museum was on 17 October 1891 officially opened by Emperor Franz Joseph I. Since 22 October 1891 , the museum is accessible to the public. Two years earlier, on 3 November 1889, the collection of arms, Arms and Armour today, had their doors open. On 1 January 1890 the library service resumed its operations. The merger and listing of other collections of the Highest Imperial Family from the Upper and Lower Belvedere, the Hofburg Palace and Ambras in Tyrol will need another two years.
189, the farm museum was organized in seven collections with three directorates:
Directorate of coins, medals and antiquities collection
The Egyptian Collection
The Antique Collection
The coins and medals collection
Management of the collection of weapons, art and industrial objects
Weapons collection
Collection of industrial art objects
Directorate of Art Gallery and Restaurieranstalt (Restoration Office)
Collection of watercolors, drawings, sketches, etc.
Restoration Office
Library
Very soon the room the Court Museum (Hofmuseum) for the imperial collections was offering became too narrow. To provide temporary help, an exhibition of ancient artifacts from Ephesus in the Theseus Temple was designed. However, additional space had to be rented in the Lower Belvedere.
1914, after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, his " Estonian Forensic Collection " passed to the administration of the Court Museum. This collection, which emerged from the art collection of the house of d' Este and world travel collection of Franz Ferdinand, was placed in the New Imperial Palace since 1908. For these stocks, the present collection of old musical instruments and the Museum of Ethnology emerged.
The First World War went by, apart from the oppressive economic situation without loss. The farm museum remained during the five years of war regularly open to the public.
Until 1919 the K.K. Art Historical Court Museum was under the authority of the Oberstkämmereramt (head chamberlain office) and belonged to the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. The officials and employees were part of the royal household.
First Republic
The transition from monarchy to republic, in the museum took place in complete tranquility. On 19 November 1918 the two imperial museums on Maria Theresa Square were placed under the state protection of the young Republic of German Austria. Threatening to the stocks of the museum were the claims raised in the following weeks and months of the "successor states" of the monarchy as well as Italy and Belgium on Austrian art collection. In fact, it came on 12th February 1919 to the violent removal of 62 paintings by armed Italian units. This "art theft" left a long time trauma among curators and art historians.
It was not until the Treaty of Saint-Germain of 10 September 1919, providing in Article 195 and 196 the settlement of rights in the cultural field by negotiations. The claims of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Italy again could mostly being averted in this way. Only Hungary, which presented the greatest demands by far, was met by more than ten years of negotiation in 147 cases.
On 3 April 1919 was the expropriation of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine by law and the acquisition of its property, including the "Collections of the Imperial House" , by the Republic. Of 18 June 1920 the then provisional administration of the former imperial museums and collections of Este and the secular and clergy treasury passed to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Education, since 10 November 1920, the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Education. A few days later it was renamed the Art History Court Museum in the "Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna State", 1921 "Kunsthistorisches Museum" . Of 1st January 1921 the employees of the museum staff passed to the state of the Republic.
Through the acquisition of the former imperial collections owned by the state, the museum found itself in a complete new situation. In order to meet the changed circumstances in the museum area, designed Hans Tietze in 1919 the "Vienna Museum program". It provided a close cooperation between the individual museums to focus at different houses on main collections. So dominated exchange, sales and equalizing the acquisition policy in the interwar period. Thus resulting until today still valid collection trends. Also pointing the way was the relocation of the weapons collection from 1934 in its present premises in the New Castle, where since 1916 the collection of ancient musical instruments was placed.
With the change of the imperial collections in the ownership of the Republic the reorganization of the internal organization went hand in hand, too. Thus the museum was divided in 1919 into the
Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection (with the Oriental coins)
Collection of Classical Antiquities
Collection of ancient coins
Collection of modern coins and medals
Weapons collection
Collection of sculptures and crafts with the Collection of Ancient Musical Instruments

The Museum 1938-1945
Count Philipp Ludwig Wenzel Sinzendorf according to Rigaud. Clarisse 1948 by Baroness de Rothschildt "dedicated" to the memory of Baron Alphonse de Rothschildt; restituted to the Rothschilds in 1999, and in 1999 donated by Bettina Looram Rothschild, the last Austrian heiress.
With the "Anschluss" of Austria to the German Reich all Jewish art collections such as the Rothschilds were forcibly "Aryanised". Collections were either "paid" or simply distributed by the Gestapo at the museums. This resulted in a significant increase in stocks. But the KHM was not the only museum that benefited from the linearization. Systematically looted Jewish property was sold to museums, collections or in pawnshops throughout the empire.
After the war, the museum struggled to reimburse the "Aryanised" art to the owners or their heirs. They forced the Rothschild family to leave the most important part of their own collection to the museum and called this "dedications", or "donations". As a reason, was the export law stated, which does not allow owners to perform certain works of art out of the country. Similar methods were used with other former owners. Only on the basis of international diplomatic and media pressure, to a large extent from the United States, the Austrian government decided to make a change in the law (Art Restitution Act of 1998, the so-called Lex Rothschild). The art objects were the Rothschild family refunded only in the 1990s.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum operates on the basis of the federal law on the restitution of art objects from the 4th December 1998 (Federal Law Gazette I, 181 /1998) extensive provenance research. Even before this decree was carried out in-house provenance research at the initiative of the then archive director Herbert Haupt. This was submitted in 1998 by him in collaboration with Lydia Grobl a comprehensive presentation of the facts about the changes in the inventory levels of the Kunsthistorisches Museum during the Nazi era and in the years leading up to the State Treaty of 1955, an important basis for further research provenance.
The two historians Susanne Hehenberger and Monika Löscher are since 1st April 2009 as provenance researchers at the Kunsthistorisches Museum on behalf of the Commission for Provenance Research operating and they deal with the investigation period from 1933 to the recent past.
The museum today
Today the museum is as a federal museum, with 1st January 1999 released to the full legal capacity - it was thus the first of the state museums of Austria, implementing the far-reaching self-financing. It is by far the most visited museum in Austria with 1.3 million visitors (2007).
The Kunsthistorisches Museum is under the name Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum with company number 182081t since 11 June 1999 as a research institution under public law of the Federal virtue of the Federal Museums Act, Federal Law Gazette I/115/1998 and the Museum of Procedure of the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theatre Museum, 3 January 2001, BGBl II 2/ 2001, in force since 1 January 2001, registered.
In fiscal 2008, the turnover was 37.185 million EUR and total assets amounted to EUR 22.204 million. In 2008 an average of 410 workers were employed.

The San Francisco Federal Building is a building designed by the architectural firm Morphosis. It is located at 90 7th Street on the corner of Mission and 7th Streets in South of Market, San Francisco. Thom Mayne of Morphosis designed the building using a concept of "resistance," juxtaposing gray concrete walls with custom, zig-zagged 9Wood wood ceilings[2]. The building was expected to be completed in 2005, but construction issues and delays pushed the project completion to 2007. The building has 18 floors of office space and stands 234 feet (71 m) tall.
The building was designed to be a 'green' building consuming less than half the power of a standard office tower -- an indication of how building design can help slash emissions of greenhouse gases. It is the first naturally ventilated office building on the west coast since the advent of air conditioning.
The year indication is carved in a relatively soft sandstone year stone.
A dark red ox is sculpted in a recessed central surface. The "bonte os" means "colorful ox."
The canal house is a three-story townhouse with an attic. Above the windows are wide semicircular relieving arches.
The house has a brick facade and is crowned with a step-gable, which was in fashion from about 1600 to 1665.

Carved from white Italian Carrara marble, the "Maiden with a Lute" sits picturesquely amid a well established tree Rhododendron. There is no indication as to which studio or artist carved her, but she is very elegant and beautiful in an almost melancholic way. She has obviously paused to gain some inspiration before taking up the lute to play again. How could she not find inspiration amid the beautiful Forest Glade Gardens in Mount Macedon where she resides?
The Forest Glade Gardens are well established European inspired landscaped gardens of six hectares that are to be found on the Mount Macedon Road in the hill station town of Mount Macedon.
The Forest Glade Gardens are just shy of one hundred years old. The gardens were originally two adjoining properties that comprised orchards and lush grazing paddocks. In 1941 local family the Newtons purchased and extended the property and set about creating one of Mount Macedon's most stunning gardens.
In 1971 the Forest Glade Gardens were acquired by Melbourne property developer Mr. Cyril Stokes who together with his partner Trevor Neil Bell, developed the gardens even further. Cyril was a great collector of European antiques, and his love of European antiquity is reflected in the gardens, particularly in the many classical marble and bronze statues dotted about the grounds.
Unfortunately the Forest Glade Gardens were partly destroyed by the tragic Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983. However, after many years of hard labour put in by Cyril and Trevor, The Forest Glade Gardens were reborn from the ashes. The gardens are built on a sloping block and consist of a range of terraces all of which offer wonderful vistas. A garden designed to give pleasure all year round, the Forest Glad Gardens contain several heritage listed trees and are made up of smaller themed gardens including; the Italian Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Daffodil Meadow, the Peony Walk, Hydrangea Hill, the Topiary Gardens, the Bluebell Meadow, the Fern Gully and the Laburnum Arch.
In 2011 the property was gifted to a registered charity - The Stokes Collection Limited - with the intention of keeping the Forest Glade Gardens maintained and open to the public.
I spent a delightful Saturday with the Famous Flickr Five+ Group in Mount Macedon, where I have never been before. Now I have, I would very much like to go back to such a picturesque place again.
The Mount Macedon township is located east of the Mount Macedon summit, which is approximately 60 km north-west of Melbourne.
The name of Mount Macedon is apparently derived from Philip II, who ruled Macedon between 359 and 336BC. The mountain was named by Thomas Mitchell, the New South Wales Surveyor General.
Settled in the 1850s by gold miners and timber cutters, the railway arrived at the Mount Macedon township in 1861, providing a vital connection to Melbourne, and sealing the town's future as a 'hill station' resort for wealthy Melburnians escaping the summer heat in the 1870s. With the land deforested, large blocks were sold and beautiful and extensive gardens were planted around the newly built homes. The rich soil and good rainfall also made the area suitable for large orchards and plant nurseries who could send fruit and flowers back to Melbourne. Newspaper owner, David Syme, built a house, "Rosenheim" in 1869. It was acquired in 1886 for Victorian Governors to use as a country retreat, making Mount Macedon an attractive destination for the well heeled of Melbourne society. A primary school was built in Mount Macedon in 1874, and as the decades progressed, hotels, guest houses, shops, a Presbyterian Church and Church of England were built. In 1983, Mount Macedon was devastated by the Ash Wednesday Bush Fires. A large portion of the town was raised, and a number of lives were lost. However, like a phoenix from the ashes, Mount Macedon has risen and rebuilt. Today it is still a popular holiday destination, particularly during spring time when the well established gardens flourish with flowers and in autumn when the exotic trees explode in a riot of reds and yellows.
The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by The Promenade Studio, Whitley Bay. The card, which has a divided back, has been hand-stamped with the date 25 Jul 1930. This day was in fact a Friday.
There are no indications as to the identity of the two ladies.
Annie Ross
So what else happened on the day that the card was hand-stamped?
Well, the 25th. July 1930 marked the birth in Surrey of Annie Ross.
Born Annabelle McCauley Allan Short, Annie was a British-American singer and actress who was active between 1937 and 2020.
Known professionally as Annie Ross, she was best known as a member of the jazz vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.
-- Annie Ross - The Early Years
Annie Ross was born in Surrey, England, the daughter of Scottish vaudevillians John "Jack" Short and Mary Dalziel Short (née Allan).
Her brother was Scottish entertainer and theatre producer and director Jimmy Logan. She first appeared on stage at age three. At the age of four, she travelled to New York by ship with her family; she later recalled that:
"We got the cheapest ticket, which
was right in the bowels of the ship".
Shortly after arriving in New York, she won a token contract with MGM through a children's radio contest run by Paul Whiteman. She subsequently moved with her aunt, Scottish-American singer and actress Ella Logan, to Los Angeles, and her mother, father and brother returned to Scotland.
Annie did not see her parents again until fourteen years later. At the age of seven, she sang "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond" in Our Gang Follies of 1938, and played Judy Garland's character's sister in Presenting Lily Mars (1943).
At the age of 14, Annie wrote the song "Let's Fly", which won a songwriting contest and was recorded by Johnny Mercer and The Pied Pipers.
At the end of 10th. grade, she left school, changed her name to Annie Ross, and went to Europe, where she established her singing career. Annie changed her surname to Ross during the plane trip to Prestwick; in a 2011 interview, she said:
"My aunt was very fanciful, and she
said I had an Irish grandmother called
Ross, so that's where that surname
came from".
-- Annie Ross's Career
In 1952, Ross met Prestige Records owner Bob Weinstock, who asked her to write lyrics to a jazz solo in a similar way to King Pleasure, a practice that would later be known as vocalese. The next day, she presented him with "Twisted", a treatment of saxophonist Wardell Gray's 1949 composition of the same name, a classic example of the genre.
The song, first released in 1952, was an underground hit, and resulted in her winning Down Beat magazine's New Star award.
In February 1956, the British music magazine NME reported that Ross's version of the song "I Want You to Be My Baby" was banned by the BBC due to the lyric "Come upstairs and have some loving".
Annie recorded seven albums with Lambert, Hendricks & Ross between 1957 and 1962. Their first, Sing a Song of Basie (1957), was to have been performed by a group of singers hired by Jon Hendricks and Dave Lambert with Ross brought in only as vocal consultant.
However it was decided that the trio should attempt to record the material and overdub all the additional vocals themselves, but the first two tracks were recorded and deemed unsatisfactory, so they ditched the dubbing idea.
The resulting album was a success, and the trio became an international hit. Over the next five years, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross toured the world, and recorded such albums as The Hottest New Group in Jazz (1959), Sing Ellington (1960), High Flying (1962), and The Real Ambassadors (1962), written by Dave Brubeck and featuring Louis Armstrong and Carmen McRae.
Ross left the group in 1962, and in 1964 opened a nightclub in London. Annie's Room hosted Joe Williams, Nina Simone, Stuff Smith, Blossom Dearie, Anita O'Day, Jon Hendricks, and Erroll Garner.
Her adulthood film roles included Liza in the film Straight On till Morning (1972), Claire in Alfie Darling (1976), Diana Sharman in Funny Money (1983), Vera Webster in Superman III (1983), Mrs. Hazeltine in Throw Momma from the Train (1987), Rose Brooks in Witchery (1988), Loretta Cresswood in Pump Up the Volume (1990), Tess Trainer in Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993), and Lydia in Blue Sky (1994).
Annie also appeared as Granny Ruth in the horror films Basket Case 2 (1990) and Basket Case 3: The Progeny (1991). She also had a bit part in Robert Altman's The Player in 1992. Ross also starred in Scottish Television's comedy-drama Charles Endell Esquire (1979).
Annie provided the speaking voice for Britt Ekland in The Wicker Man (1973), and Ingrid Thulin's singing voice in Salon Kitty (1976). On stage, she appeared in Cranks (1955; London and New York City), The Threepenny Opera (1972), The Seven Deadly Sins (1973) at the Royal Opera House, Kennedy's Children (1975) at the Arts Theatre, London, Side by Side by Sondheim, and in the Joe Papp production of The Pirates of Penzance (1982).
-- Annie Ross's Personal Life
In 1949, Ross had a brief affair with drummer Kenny Clarke. This affair produced a son, Kenny Clarke Jr. (born 1950), who was raised by Clarke's brother and his wife.
During her time with Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Annie became addicted to heroin. In the late 1950's she had an affair with the comedian Lenny Bruce, who was also having drug problems. By 1960, Carol Sloane was substituting for her on tour. After a performance by the trio in London in May 1962, she remained in London to confront her drug addiction.
In 1963, she married actor Sean Lynch; they divorced in 1975, and he died in a car crash soon afterwards. By that time, she had also lost her home, and declared bankruptcy.
Annie became a United States citizen in 2001.
Annie died in New York City on the 21st. July 2020 from emphysema and heart disease, four days before her 90th. birthday.
-- Annie Ross's Awards and Honours
Ross received the ASCAP Jazz Wall of Fame award (2009), the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters' Award (2010), and the MAC Award for Lifetime Achievement (2011).
In July 2006 a one-woman play entitled Twisted: The Annie Ross Story by Brian McGeachan premiered at The Space Theatre in London, starring Verity Quade. It focused on Annie's stormy relationship with her aunt, Broadway legend Ella Logan, her brief affair with the comedian Lenny Bruce and her addiction to heroin. The play transferred to the Brockley Jack Theatre in London that same year, with Ross being played by Betsy Pennington.
-- Annie Ross in the Media
A documentary about Ross's life, entitled No One But Me, premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival in 2012.

Prasat Muang Thi, Amphow Muang, This Khmer-style sanctuary features a set of mortared brick pagodas on the same abase. Originally there were five pagodas but nnow only three remain. The sanctuary was modified at the same time as the nearby Si Khoraphum sanctuary. The layout of the sanctuary is square with indented corners. The middle pagoda is the largest, with access by stairways on four sides. The apex of the three-tiered roof is missing. The style is popular in ancient Khmer sanctuaries, and originated from the beliefs of Brahminism. The middle pagoda symbolises Mount Meru (a mythical mountain at the centre of the universe aqnd home of the gods) surrounded by pagodas at each of the four corners. There is no indication of the date of its consturction.

Closing up slowly to the stop signal at the end of the platform, with the train ahead stopped literally only a metre or two past the signal! Our previous signal was passed showing a "low speed" indication.
While "low speed" is a subsidiary indication (modifies a stop indication), it is counted as a running indication and means that the line is clear to the next signal, but the line could be occupied immediately beyond the next signal. It certainly was here!
Low speed indications are considered an essential tool in the Sydney network, keeping trains moving at busy locations during periods of congestion. Especially important near stations, allowing a following train to move up close to the platform ready to enter, while the train ahead is still standing at the platform.
An exhibition co-organized by WIPO and Turkey was held on the sidelines of the WIPO Assemblies, which met in Geneva from October 3 to 11, 2016.
The event entitled “Turkish Culture and Geographical Indications” showcased a snapshot of Turkey’s rich culture and geographical indications and was inaugurated on October 4, 2016.
It featured examples of Turkey’s protected geographic indications, including Afyon marble, Antep Kutnu cloth, Gaziantep mother-of-pearl inlaying and Safranbolu Turkish delight. The inauguration also featured a performance of traditional Turkish music.

Dated April 1918. There are some clear indications that these men were trained in and equipped for mountain warfare.
Key elements of the Alpenkorps were grouped in the Kgl. Bayerische Jäger-Brigade 1 and 2. The latter was subdivided into the well known Jäger-Regiment Nr. 3 and the less known Jäger-Regiment Nr. 2. Although part of a Bavarian Brigade, this Jäger regiment was composed of units from different parts of the empire: the rather well known Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 10 or the Hannoversches Jäger Bataillon with a long unit history dating back to battles in 1775, and lesser known units Reserve-Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 10 (their reserve) and Reserve-Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 14 (the reserve of the Mecklenburg Jägers).
The stamps on the back tells us this is one of these reserve battalions, but I cannot make out the number. For both units, litzen would be present, so this is not conclusive. My guess is on the RJB14 though, as in RJB10, I would expect to see at least some Gibraltar cuff tittles. Although these were normally only worn by the JB10, I'm guessing people who were transferred to the reserve at some point would retain their cuff tittle - part of their regimental tradition. We also need to keep in mind that this is a 1918 picture. I'm not sure if it was still applied this late.
...and that's not an indication of envy! Its just that for this pose, I'm turning to show a curvy angle (isn't that an oxymoron?) to the camera and I'm finding that I really love this particular shade of green!
My July minidress shopping binge brought this super snug fitting shiny dark emerald distressed mesh minidress to me from the fabulous folks at coquetryclubwear.com along with these sparkly black platform stiletto pumps from fredericks.com. Combined with my shiny black Platino Cleancut pantyhose they make quite a nice ensemble!

Cars bound for the CN take a trip over the Northtown Yard hump after arriving from various places on the BNSF. Drifting into the hump tracks, retarders drag on the sides of the wheels controlling their descent. A day later the silvery polish is a telltale indication on all the cars of L516's pickup from Northtown. What can be a subtle detail during the day shines back brightly on a snowy night.

We just heard from the clinic that the blood test results show no indication of FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). There is no definitive test for FIP, but none of the warning signs (particularly a high protein level) were present. Her basic blood chemistry results were within normal range for all the usual categories.
The lack of appetite and sluggishness may have been due to a hairball problem. When we got up this morning, Gracie was very close to her normal self, even though she had not had a bowel movement during the night. She was active, alert, and played vigorously with her mouse. Also, she ate some of her food and drank some water. However, sometime between 9 and 9:30 a.m., she vomited up a very large hairball and the food she had eaten. When we took her in for her appointment shortly after that, the doctor said that the amount of stool in her colon was not very large and it was not hard. He prescribed a product called Laxatone, which is basically a flavored petroleum jelly/mineral oil (we got the tuna flavored kind), to help grease things along in her digestive tract. He suggested that we put some on her paws (once a day for three days). We did so, and sure enough, she licked it off immediately. Her eye problem is almost completely gone, but we should probably continue that medication for a couple days to make sure it does not return. The vet said on the phone that she may outgrow the tendency toward eye infections.
So, we have no reason to suspect FIP, she has begun eating and drinking again, and she is on the road to recovery from her eye infection.
Needless to say, we are greatly relieved.
This photo was taken today by Edgar.
Update, 30 July 2009: Gracie is almost 100% her usual self now. We are very grateful for the kind wishes from so many people!
After a short stop, the northbound City of New Orleans (Amtrak 58) gets back on the move as it rolls through downtown Carbondale. Not often it's seen in daylight, but recent brutal winter weather has played a factor in that. The train will make intermediate stops at Centralia, Effingham, Mattoon, Champaign-Urbana, Rantoul, Kankakee, Homewood and then terminate at Chicago, IL Union Station.

The best indication of where the old tower-house that forms the nucleus of the 19th century mansion was, can be seen here, where the old stair-tower rises up a storey higher than the rest of the building, to terminate in the traditional watch chamber, with its elegantly decorated angle-turrets. The initials in the angle-turret corbelling date this part of the building to the early 1600s.

If Flickr is any indication, this is the spot where one should try out a newly bought ND filter. And so I did, but not without complications, of course! The winds were pretty strong today. Several warnings for high water had been issued for other areas of the country. And to add insult to injury, two "hills" had been created on either side of the Pier, probably to replace the sand underneath it at some point. As a result, the air is funneled through this very narrow space, creating near-hurricane conditions down here. If you want to test your photography skills in extreme conditions, this is really the place to go right now.
But, I managed. Barely. This is the result. Enjoy!
Addendum: The latest news on this structure - the Scheveningen Pier - is that it is going to be auctioned off in a public auction. The current owner is bankrupt.
The colonization of the Moon is the proposed establishment of permanent human communities on the Moon. Advocates of space exploration have seen settlement of the Moon as a logical step in the expansion of humanity beyond the Earth. Recent indication that water might be present in noteworthy quantities at the Lunar poles has increased interest in the Moon. Polar colonies could also avoid the problem of long Lunar nights (about 354 hours, a little more than two weeks) and take advantage of the sun continuously.
Permanent human habitation on a planetary body other than the Earth is one of science fiction's most prevalent themes. As technology has advanced, and concerns about the future of humanity on Earth have increased, the argument that space colonization is an achievable and worthwhile goal has gained momentum. Because of its proximity to Earth, the Moon has been seen as a prime candidate for the location of humanity's first permanently occupied extraterrestrial base.
A lunar outpost was an element of the George W. Bush era Vision for Space Exploration, which has been replaced with President Barack Obama's space policy. The outpost would have been an inhabited facility on the surface of the Moon. At the time it was proposed, NASA was to construct the outpost over the five years between 2019 and 2024. The United States Congress directed that the U.S. portion, "shall be designated the Neil A. Armstrong Lunar Outpost".
On December 4, 2006, NASA announced the conclusion of its Global Exploration Strategy and Lunar Architecture Study. The Lunar Architecture Study's purpose was to "define a series of lunar missions constituting NASA's Lunar campaign to fulfill the Lunar Exploration elements" of the Vision for Space Exploration. What resulted was a basic plan for a lunar outpost near one of the poles of the Moon, which would permanently house astronauts in six-month shifts. These studies were made before the discovery of water ice (5.6 ± 2.9% by mass) in a polar crater, which may substantially affect plans.
