The Silverton School was built in 1889 and had several students and two teachers to a single room. An attached residence was demolished at a later date. Dame Mary Gilmore was an assistant teacher here from 1887 - 1889. With the decline in population across the Silverton township since the 1910s, the school eventually closed in 1970. A museum opened here in 2009, but with limited volunteers, the buildings purpose remains unknown.

 

Silverton:

 

The first indication of silver–lead mineralisation in the Barrier Rangers came in late 1875 with the discovery of galena by Julius Charles Nickel and Dan McLean while they were well sinking on Thackaringa Station, near the South Australian - New South Wales border.

 

In 1879 John Stokie established a store at Umberumberka, 19 km north of Thackaringa. He continued prospecting and discovered silver–lead veins nearby, which he pegged with Edward Pegler in November 1881. A 100 ton parcel of ore was shipped to England for a 40% profit. The following October the Umberumberka Silver Lead Mining Company Ltd was floated with nominal capital of £20 000. Umberumberka was the second area of silver–lead mineralisation discovered in the Barrier Ranges and the new company was the first to be publicly floated. The town of Silverton soon developed close to the mine and became the main settlement of the growing silver field.

 

Silverton was surveyed in 1883, by which time Australia had a population of 2, 250, 194. By September that year, the population of Silverton was 250, and by December 1883 it had doubled. That year the Day Dream Mine opened and attracted an additional population of 400 - 500 people. In 1884 1,222 mineral leases, 937 business permits and 114 miners' rights were issued. That same year 6,000 tonnes of ore were extracted and the town acquired its own newspaper, the Silver Age.

 

By 1885 - 1886 the town's population had reached 3,000. Silverton was proclaimed a township in 1885 and a municipality the following year. In 1885 a short-lived smelter was established at Day Dream Mine, operating for only a year. In 1892 the Umberumberka Mine closed, followed by the Day Dream Mine. The Pioneer Mine at Thackaringa closed in 1897. By 1901, after miners had moved to the richer fields at Broken Hill, the town went into decline and only 286 people remained. Today the town has a population of around 50 people, most of whom work in tourism.

 

The Silverton Tramway Company:

 

The Silverton Tramway Company, a rare private railway of 50klms in length, was incorporated in New South Wales October 14, 1886 and the line was completed and opened for traffic on January 12, 1888. One of only two privately owned railways in the state, the tramway was originally founded to transport ore from local mines in the Broken Hill and Silverton region into South Australia. The company soon branched out, not only carrying ore from the mines but freighted other goods and offered a passenger service which accounted for a third of their business.

 

The company serviced travellers on long trips heading interstate to Semaphore (Adelaide) to the Largs Bay Holiday Camp and excursions for local community groups often conveying passengers to Silverton and McCulloch Park (at Stephens Creek) for the day and returning to Broken Hill in the afternoon. When traveling to South Australia the train would travel from Broken Hill, through Silverton and then to Burns which is on the New South Wales side of the border of Cockburn (a town divided by the NSW/SA border).

 

In 1927 the New South Wales government completed the railway from Sydney to Broken Hill, thus joining the Silverton Tramway and completing the link from Sydney to Adelaide. It played a strategic role in the trans-Australia network until 1970, when it was surpassed by the New South Wales Government Railways (Indian-Pacific). From 1888-1970 it was critical to the economic functioning of Broken Hill, by providing the key transport of ore to the Port Pirie smelters. It played a significant role in the politics and recreation of Broken Hill, and a crucial role at times of water shortage in Broken Hill.

 

Today, Silverton resides in the Unincorporated Area of New South Wales (NSW) and so does not feature a City Council. It is run by the Silverton Village Committee, who to this day hold their quarterly meetings in the Silverton Municipal Chambers.

 

Dame Mary Gilmore:

 

Dame Mary Jean Gilmore (1865 - 1962), writer, was born on the 16th of August 1865 at Mary Vale, Woodhouselee, near Goulburn, New South Wales, eldest child of Donald Cameron, a farmer, born in Inverness-shire, Scotland, and his native-born wife Mary Ann, née Beattie. Her father had migrated to Australia in 1838 from Fort William, and her mother's family had come from County Armagh, Ireland, in 1842. The Camerons and Beatties owned adjoining properties.

 

Donald Cameron, a wanderer by nature, was in turn a farmer, mail contractor, property manager, carpenter, innkeeper, and builder, moving with his family around south-western New South Wales. Later Mary's mother lived in Sydney and wrote for the Australian Town and Country Journal and the Daily Telegraph. At 7, Mary went to school briefly at Brucedale near Wagga Wagga and at 9 to Wagga Wagga Public School. In 1877 the family moved to Houlaghan's Creek and she attended the school at Downside. For the next four years she was an unofficial pupil-teacher in small schools at Cootamundra, Bungowannah, and Yerong Creek. At 16 she passed a formal entrance examination and began as a probationary pupil-teacher at the Superior Public School, Wagga Wagga. After a period of ill health and failure in a teacher's examination in December 1884, she resigned, but was re-employed in May 1886 at Beaconsfield Provisional School. She was transferred in March 1887 to Illabo Public School. After passing the IIIA teachers' examination, Mary was appointed in October 1887 as temporary assistant at Silverton Public School near Broken Hill. She remained there until December 1889 spending the Christmas vacation of 1888 - 1889 in Sydney with her mother. Mary was transferred to Neutral Bay Public School in January 1890.

 

Her relationship with Henry Lawson probably began in 1890: in 1923 she recalled that 'It was a strange meeting that between young Lawson and me. I had come down permanently to the city from Silverton'. Her account of an unofficial engagement and Lawson's wish to marry her at the time of his brief trip to Western Australia (May-September 1890) could be accurate regarding dates, but there is no other corroborative evidence. There was clearly, however, a close relationship between them in 1890 - 1895, but it was broken by his frequent absences from Sydney. Mary's later comments on his career were always somewhat proprietorial but the extent of her influence on his literary talents and her contribution to his literary education remain unsubstantiated.

 

In May 1891, Mary was transferred to Stanmore Superior Public School. She had become involved in the increasing radicalism of the day, supporting the maritime and shearers' strikes as actively as possible for a schoolteacher subject to the strict rules of the Department of Public Instruction. It was her lifelong claim that she had, under her brother John's name, been co-opted to the first executive of the Australian Workers' Union. She assisted William Lane and the New Australia movement, and was largely responsible for overcoming the financial difficulties that threatened to prevent the departure for Paraguay of the Royal Tar on the 16th of July 1893. On the 31st of October 1895 she resigned from teaching and sailed from Sydney in November in the Ruapehu, arriving at the Cosme settlement in Paraguay in January 1896. She married fellow colonist, a Victorian shearer, William Alexander Gilmore (1866 - 1945), at Cosme on the 25th of May 1897 and their only child William Dysart Cameron Gilmore (1898 - 1945) was born on the 21st of August 1898 at Villarica, near Cosme. In August 1899 the Gilmores resigned from Cosme and Will left the settlement to work at various jobs. In November 1900 the family went to Rio Gallegos in southern Patagonia where Will worked on a ranch and Mary gave English lessons. On the 1st of April 1902 they reached England, stayed briefly with Lawson and his family in London, and arrived in Australia in the Karlsruhe in July.

 

Back in her familiar Sydney environment, Mary was attracted to the busy literary and political scene but, acknowledging her family responsibilities, went with her husband to Strathdownie, near Casterton in western Victoria, where Will's parents had a property. Life there was far from congenial but she had a long-sustained correspondence with Alfred George Stephens of the Bulletin and was delighted to have her life and work featured in the 'Red Page' on the 3rd of October 1903. In 1907 they moved into Casterton where Billy attended school. Mary's long connexion with the Australian Worker began in 1908 when, in response to her request for a special page for women, the editor Hector Lamond invited her to write it herself. She was to edit the 'Women's Page' until the 11th of February 1931. Mary also began campaigning for the Labor Party, helping to have its candidate for the Federal seat of Wannon elected in 1906 and 1910. Her first collection of poems, Marri'd, and other Verses, simple colloquial lyrics, written mainly at Cosme and Casterton, commenting on the joys, hopes, and disappointments of life's daily round, was published in 1910 by George Robertson & Co. Pty Ltd of Melbourne, on the advice of Bernard O'Dowd who professed to be 'simply enraptured with their lyric magic'.

 

The Gilmores left Casterton in 1912, Mary and her son going to Sydney where she had the security of her Worker position and Billy the opportunity of a secondary education, while Will joined his brother on the land in the Cloncurry district of Queensland. They were rarely reunited in the years that followed, but, loose and impersonal as the husband-wife relationship must have appeared to outside observers, it was always characterized by affection, respect, and abiding mutual interest.

 

Mary was soon involved in literary activities. A staunch supporter of journals such as the Bulletin, the Lone Hand, and the Book-fellow, she invested her own (borrowed) money in the latter to prevent its closure through bankruptcy. The accounts in 1913 - 1916 of Mary Gilmore trading as the Book-fellow and her correspondence with Stephens indicate the scope of her participation. Her second volume of poetry, the Passionate Heart (1918), reflected her horrified reaction to World War I. Poems such as 'The measure' stress the futility and waste of war, while 'Gallipoli', a deeply felt, imaginative account of that famous battlefield with its scars covered by the recurring miracle of spring, offers consolation to those grieving for the loss of loved ones. She gave the royalties from the Passionate Heart to the soldiers blinded in the war. In 1922 her first book of prose, a collection of essays entitled Hound of the Road, was published. In the early 1920s her health, never robust, became a problem. High blood pressure and heart trouble led to a stay in hospital in Sydney in 1920; she was sent to Goulburn by her doctor to escape the pressure of city life at different times between 1921 and 1924. In 1925 a third volume of verse, the Tilted Cart, appeared; the poems were accompanied by copious notes indicating her keen interest in recording the minutiae of the pioneer past.

 

Mary Gilmore's final years with the Worker were not placid: she resigned at the end of January 1931. Her book of verse, the Wild Swan, had been published in 1930; its radical themes, together with its anguish over the ravaging of the land by white civilization and the destruction of Aboriginal lore, making it her most impressive work to that point. It was followed in 1931 by the book of largely religious verse, the Rue Tree, which she claimed was a tribute to the Sisters of the Convent of Mercy at Goulburn, and in 1932 by Under the Wilgas. Her twin books of prose reminiscences, Old Days, Old Ways: a Book of Recollections and More Recollections were published in 1934 and 1935. In them she recaptures the spirit and atmosphere of pioneering. These anecdotal accounts which present 'Australia as she was when she was most Australian' are lively and attractive examples of her skill as a prose writer and, although unreliable and romanticized, have become invaluable sources of the legend of the pioneer days.

 

Over the years Mary Gilmore campaigned in the Worker and any other available forum for a wide range of social and economic reforms, such as votes for women, old-age and invalid pensions, child endowment, and improved treatment of returned servicemen, the poor and deprived and, above all, of Aboriginals. She wrote numerous letters, as well as contributing articles and poems, to the Sydney Morning Herald on these causes and such diverse subjects as the English language, the Prayer Book, earthquakes, Gaelic and the immigration laws, the waratah as a national emblem, the national anthem, and Spanish Australia. All her life she encouraged young writers and enthused over their work. She carried on a prolific correspondence with many friends including Dowell O'Reilly, Hugh McCrae, Nettie Palmer, George Mackaness, Alec Chisholm, and Robert FitzGerald. In 1980 a selection of her letters was published posthumously. She was a founder of the Lyceum Club, Sydney, a founder and vice-president in 1928 of the Fellowship of Australian Writers, an early member of the New South Wales Institute of Journalists and life member of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

 

To mark the considerable public acclaim for her literary and social achievements, she was appointed D.B.E. in 1937. Thereafter she was a celebrated public figure. She published a new volume of poems, Battlefields, in 1939. The title referred to her own radical campaigns. During World War II, perched in her Kings Cross flat at 99 Darlinghurst Road, she anathematized German and Japanese ambitions of world domination. She recognized the growing threat to Australia in her stirring call to Australian patriotism, the poem 'No Foe Shall Gather our Harvest', while she castigated Allied incompetence and corruption in the poem 'Singapore', just after its fall. In 1945 her husband and son both died in Queensland.

 

From 1952 Mary Gilmore was associated with the Communist newspaper Tribune, largely because of her pacifism and her anger at the government's attitude to the Youth Carnival for Peace and Friendship then being staged in Sydney. Her Tribune column 'Arrows' appeared regularly until mid-1962, commenting on contemporary Australian and world affairs. In 1954, as she approached her ninetieth year, she published her final volume of poetry, Fourteen Men. The Australasian Book Society commissioned William Dobell to paint her portrait for her 92nd birthday in 1957. She strongly defended the controversial portrait because she felt it captured something of her ancestry; she donated it to the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

 

Her last years were made memorable by ever-increasing signs of public esteem. Her birthdays were celebrated publicly by Sydney literati and ordinary folk alike; streets, roads, schools, old people's homes were named after her; literary awards and scholarships were given in her name; visitors from Australia's literary and political world, and overseas admirers, made regular pilgrimages to her; her pronouncements were highlighted by the media; she made television and radio appearances; she led May Day processions as the May Queen. She died on the 3rd of December 1962 (Eureka Day) and, after a state funeral at St Stephen's Presbyterian Church, Macquarie Street, was cremated, her ashes being buried in her husband's grave in the Cloncurry Cemetery, Queensland; she was survived by a grandson. Her estate was valued for probate at £12,023.

 

Mary Gilmore's significance is both literary and historical. As poet and prose writer she has drawn considerable praise from such connoisseurs of literature as McCrae, FitzGerald, Judith Wright, Douglas Stewart, and Tom Inglis Moore. She wrote too much (often on ephemeral trivia) and too hastily, but her best verse—brief lyrics such as 'Nationality', 'Eve-Song', 'The Tenancy', 'Never Admit the Pain', 'Gallipoli', 'The Flight of the Swans'—are among the permanent gems of Australian poetry. As patriot, feminist, social crusader, and folklorist she has now passed into Australian legend.

 

Besides the Dobell portrait of Dame Mary Gilmore, the Art Gallery of New South Wales holds one by Joshua Smith and a bronze head by Rayner Hoff; portraits by Eric Saunders and Mary McNiven are held by the National Library of Australia, Canberra.

One of the indications that suggest to me that the stair-tower was built later than the old part of the main block, is the quoin-stones or corner stones, which are of quite different styles. It may even be that the old part of the main block is the bottom section of a old ~15th century oblong keep, which after suffering attack or accidental burning, was completely remodelled in the early 17th century.

 

Notice also that the building has no roof guttering - which helps it look its age (and is why there is water running down the wall to the right of the dormer window!). Normally when a roof-slate gets loose, it slides down the roof and comes to rest in the gutter. Here, they have had to put chicken wire all round the roof eaves, to catch any run-away slates and avoid the risk of decapitating innocent passers-by below!

Until the mid-19th century the majority of the area of ​​present-day Schwarzenberg square was occupied by the Glacis located in front of Vienna city walls that was here crossed by the River Wien (Vienna). After the demolition of the city walls during the years 1858 to 1863 relatively large areas now in the range of ramparts and glacis for building development have been available. Similar to Ring Road palaces of the second half of the 19th century, some magnificent buildings were constructed here.

1861 was by Emperor Franz Joseph I decided to erect here the 1813 in the Battle of Leipzig been victorious commander Karl Philipp Schwarzenberg a monument. The equestrian statue was created by the Dresden sculptor Ernst Hähnel (1811-1891) from 1863, the militarily laid out laying of the foundation stone for the monument took place on 18 October 1863 (the 50th anniversary of the Battle of the Nations), the ceremonial unveiling of the (in those days aesthetically and historically not uncontroversial) monument on October 20, 1867 (after the anniversary of the battle of nations, October 18, due to political reasons had not been kept).

Since 1865, the 1895 demolished Schwarzenberg bridge led across the river to Rennweg (route to Hungary), towards later Prinz-Eugen street (access from downtown to South Station and Staatsbahnhof (state railway station), later Ostbahnhof - eastern railway station) and the situated in between Palais Schwarzenberg.

Historic Art Nouveau Place lighting type "crosier"

During the construction of the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline was before the Palais Schwarzenberg (in an area that then did not yet belong to Schwarzenberg square) built the high jet fountain (Hochstrahlbrunnen) and on 23 October 1873 with a ceremony, attended by Emperor Franz Joseph I, opened. The since about 1870 from the Seilerstätte out of town until the small river Wienfluss running Schwarzenberg street was in 1880 in its southern area between the Ring Road and Lothringer street, accordingly to the importance of the ensemble with the equestrian monument, renamed in Schwarzenberg square.

The 1895-1902 vaulted Vienna River, at whose southern shore until 1899 the also vaulted Wientallinie of the Vienna Metropolitan railway was built, at this place run about in the area of the southern roadway of Lothringer street. In 1904, the square south was extented until the Schwarzenberg square. The indication that the Schwarzenberg street previously had been extended to the Palais Schwarzenberg does not harmonize with the historic city maps and address books.

Behind of (= south of) High Jet Fountain was in August 1945, immediately after the end of World War II, by the Red Army the War Memorial (popularly today: Russian monument) unveiled; until 1955 there was also a Soviet tank SU-100 placed. During the occupation time the southern part of the Schwarzenberg square on April 12, 1946, was renamed in Stalin Square and the square kept this name to 18 July 1956. In the House of Industry, then Stalin Square 4, was until 1955 the seat of the Allied Council of the four occupying powers.

In the years 2003 and 2004 the Schwarzenberg place after a concept by Spanish architect Alfredo Arribas has been redesigned and additionally equipped with sunken lighting elements that represent different lighting effects. In the course of restructuring the existing hitherto small green areas have been eliminated, which has also been criticized. Particularly strong reservations there was against the replacement of the largely still remaining slender lighting columns in 1904 by light bodies which were perceived by critics as clumsy and clunky. The previous design of the City of Vienna had the complete restoration of the historic Art Nouveau Chandeliers of type "crosier" provided. 2016, many of the 300 embedded in the ground, controlled by computer effect lamps are defective. The dismantling of outdated technology that was only in the early years serviced is being debated.

Under the Schwarzenbergplatz not only run the Vienna river and the subway line U4, here was once also the Zwingburg, a shelter for homeless and Strotter (people looking for recyclable waste products), who secluded themselves in the Vienna sewage system.

 

Bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde der Großteil des Areals des heutigen Schwarzenbergplatzes von dem der Wiener Stadtmauer vorgelagerten Glacis eingenommen, das hier vom Wienfluss durchflossen wurde. Nach dem Abriss der Stadtmauer in den Jahren 1858 bis 1863 standen nun verhältnismäßig große Flächen im Bereich von Stadtmauer und Glacis zur Verbauung zur Verfügung. Ähnlich den Ringstraßenpalais der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden auch hier einige Prachtbauten errichtet.

1861 wurde von Kaiser Franz Joseph I. beschlossen, dem 1813 in der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig siegreich gewesenen Feldherrn Karl Philipp Schwarzenberg hier ein Denkmal errichten zu lassen. Das Reiterstandbild wurde vom Dresdner Bildhauer Ernst Hähnel (1811–1891) ab 1863 geschaffen, die militärisch angelegte Grundsteinlegung zum Monument fand am 18. Oktober 1863 statt (dem 50. Jahrestag der Völkerschlacht), die feierliche Enthüllung des (in jenen Tagen ästhetisch wie historisch nicht unumstrittenen) Denkmals am 20. Oktober 1867 (nachdem der Jahrestag der Völkerschlacht, der 18. Oktober, aus politischer Rücksicht nicht wahrgenommen worden war).

Seit 1865 führte die 1895 abgebrochene Schwarzenbergbrücke über den Fluss zum Rennweg (Route nach Ungarn), zur späteren Prinz-Eugen-Straße (Zufahrt vom Stadtzentrum zu Südbahnhof und Staatsbahnhof, später Ostbahnhof) und zum dazwischen liegenden Palais Schwarzenberg.

Historische Jugendstil-Platzbeleuchtung vom Typ "Bischofsstab"

Anlässlich des Baus der I. Wiener Hochquellenwasserleitung wurde vor dem Palais Schwarzenberg (auf einem Areal, das damals noch nicht zum Schwarzenbergplatz zählte) der Hochstrahlbrunnen errichtet und am 23. Oktober 1873 mit einer Zeremonie, der Kaiser Franz Joseph I. beiwohnte, eröffnet. Die seit etwa 1870 von der Seilerstätte stadtauswärts bis zum Wienfluss verlaufende Schwarzenbergstraße wurde 1880 in ihrem südlichen Abschnitt zwischen Ringstraße und Lothringerstraße, der Bedeutung des Ensembles mit dem Reiterdenkmal entsprechend, in Schwarzenbergplatz umbenannt.

Der 1895 bis 1902 eingewölbte Wienfluss, an dessen südlichem Ufer bis 1899 die ebenfalls eingewölbte Wientallinie der Wiener Stadtbahn gebaut wurde, verlief an dieser Stelle etwa im Zuge der südlichen Fahrbahn der Lothringerstraße. 1904 wurde der Platz südlich bis zum Palais Schwarzenberg erweitert. Die Angabe, die Schwarzenbergstraße habe sich zuvor bereits bis zum Palais Schwarzenberg erstreckt, harmoniert nicht mit historischen Stadtplänen und Adressbüchern.

Hinter dem (= südlich vom) Hochstrahlbrunnen wurde im August 1945, unmittelbar nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs, von der Roten Armee das Heldendenkmal (im Volksmund bis heute: Russendenkmal) enthüllt; bis 1955 war dort auch ein sowjetischer Panzer SU-100 aufgestellt. Während der Besatzungszeit wurde der südliche Teil des Schwarzenbergplatzes am 12. April 1946 in Stalinplatz umbenannt und behielt diesen Namen bis 18. Juli 1956. Im Haus der Industrie, damals Stalinplatz 4, befand sich bis 1955 der Sitz des Alliierten Rates der vier Besatzungsmächte.

In den Jahren 2003 und 2004 wurde der Schwarzenbergplatz nach einem Konzept des spanischen Architekten Alfredo Arribas neu gestaltet und zusätzlich mit im Boden eingelassenen Beleuchtungselementen ausgestattet, die verschiedene Lichteffekte darstellen. Im Zuge des Umbaus wurden die bis dahin vorhandenen kleinen Grünflächen entfernt, was auch kritisiert wurde. Besonders starke Vorbehalte gab es gegen die Ersetzung der großteils noch vorhandenen schlanken Lichtmasten aus 1904 durch Beleuchtungskörper, die von Kritikern als plump und klobig empfunden wurden. Die vorherige Konzeption der Gemeinde Wien hatte die vollständige Wiederherstellung der historischen Jugendstil-Beleuchtungskörper vom Typus "Bischofsstab" vorgesehen. 2016 sind viele der 300 im Boden eingelassenen, per Computer angesteuerten Effektleuchten defekt. Der Rückbau der veralteten Technik, die nur in den ersten Jahren gewartet wurde, steht zur Diskussion.

Unter dem Schwarzenbergplatz verlaufen nicht nur der Wienfluss und die U-Bahn-Linie U4, hier befand sich einst auch die Zwingburg, ein Unterschlupf für Obdachlose und Strotter, die sich in der Wiener Kanalisation zurückzogen.

The unfortunate animal, which is secured by two chains, has presumably been trained to dance to music produced by the instrument that the man on the left is holding.

 

Dancing Bears

 

A dancing bear, often called a tame bear, is a wild bear captured when young, or born and bred in captivity, and used to entertain people in streets or taverns.

 

Dancing bears were commonplace throughout Europe and Asia from the Middle Ages to the 19th. century, and can still be found in the 21st. century in some countries.

 

The History of Dancing bears

 

In Ancient Rome, bears and monkeys were led to dance and perform tricks for the public. Dancing bears were commonplace in the Indian subcontinent for centuries. The last of them were freed in 2009.

 

In Russia and Siberia, cubs were for centuries captured for being used as dancing bears accompanying tavern musicians (skomorokhi), as depicted in the Travels of Adam Olearius.

 

Dancing bears were widespread throughout Europe from the Middle Ages to the 19th. century. They were still present on the streets of Spain and Eastern Europe in 2007.

 

Recently, organizations and animal rights activists have worked to outlaw or eliminate tame bears, since the practice is seen as cruel and antiquated, citing mistreatment and abuse used in order to train the bears.

 

French Bear Handlers

 

Traveling with a bear was very popular in France at the end of the 19th. century, between 1870 and 1914. More than 600 men from Ariège in the French Pyrenees trained bear cubs found in the mountains near their home.

 

Among them, 200 traveled to North America, arriving at the ports of New York, Quebec, Montreal and Halifax from the ports of Liverpool, Glasgow and Belfast. They would leave their home early in spring, walking from the Pyrenees through France and England, earning money for the crossing in order to arrive in North America in May or June.

 

Dancing Bears in Popular Culture

 

-- The popular children's television show, Captain Kangaroo, featured a character known as "Dancing Bear."

-- The concept has entered into the lexicon in the form of the common proverb:

"The marvel is not that the bear

dances well, but that the bear

dances at all."

-- Randy Newman's song "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" is about a humble young man who entertains high society with his tame bear.

-- A dancing bear features at the end of Cormac McCarthy’s 1985 Western novel Blood Meridian and is shot in a saloon by a drunkard.

-- In The Simpsons episode “Marge on the Lam,” Homer Simpson and Lenny Leonard both misremember ballet as “the bear in the little car.”

-- Rafi Zabor's novel The Bear Comes Home is a fictional story about a bear trained to play jazz saxophone.

-- The Joanna Newsom song “Monkey & Bear” concerns a bear named Ursala who is deceived by the Monkey into dancing for children.

-- The animated movie Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted features a bear named Sonya who is trained to ride a unicycle. Sonya is considerably more animalistic than the other anthropomorphic animals in the film.

In hazy winter morning sunlight, the platform signal is indicating "low speed". The next signal can be seen at "stop", and just beyond it a train occupies the line.

 

Low speed indications are used extensively in the Sydney network, wherever trains services can become congested. When trains bank up, it enables them to close up through the overlaps that are normally maintained between trains on running lines.

 

Low speed indication is preceded by a caution indication. It modifies a stop signal to permit a train to proceed at low speed, maximum 25 km/h (15 mph). The line will be clear to the next signal but may be occupied immediately beyond that signal.

WIPO Director General Daren Tang delivers remarks at the inauguration of the “Geographical Indications and Appellations of Origin from Portugal” exhibition, co-organized by WIPO and the Government of Portugal.

 

Held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, the exhibition featured origin-based products from Portugal which benefit from intellectual property protection via geographical indications and appellations of origin.

Chartres

 

Chartres is a city and capital of the Eure-et-Loir department in France. At the 2019 census, there were 38,534 individuals living in the city.

 

Chartres is famous worldwide for its Gothic cathedral which is in an exceptional state of preservation. The majority of the original stained glass windows survive intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th. century.

 

Part the old town, including most of the library associated with the School of Chartres, was destroyed by Allied bombs in 1944.

 

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, is one of the finest and best preserved Gothic cathedrals in France and in Europe. Its historical and cultural importance has been recognized by its inclusion on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.

 

Chartres is built on a hill on the left bank of the river Eure. The medieval cathedral is at the top of the hill, and its two spires are visible from miles away across the flat surrounding lands. To the southeast stretches the fertile plain of Beauce, the "Granary of France", of which the town is the commercial centre.

 

Chartres cathedral was built on the site of the former Chartres cathedral of Romanesque architecture, which was destroyed by fire (that former cathedral had been built on the ruins of an ancient Celtic temple, later replaced by a Roman temple).

 

Begun in 1205, the construction of Notre-Dame de Chartres was completed 66 years later.

 

The stained glass windows of the cathedral were financed by guilds of merchants and craftsmen, and by wealthy noblemen, whose names appear at the bottom. It is not known how the famous and unique blue, bleu de Chartres, of the glass was created, and it has been impossible to replicate it.

 

Chartres in WWII

 

In World War II, the city suffered heavy damage, both by bombing and during the battle of Chartres in August 1944, but the cathedral was spared by an American Army officer who challenged the order to destroy it.

 

On the 16th. August 1944, Colonel Welborn Barton Griffith Jr. questioned the necessity of destroying the cathedral, and volunteered to go behind enemy lines to find out whether the Germans were using it as an observation post.

 

With his driver, Griffith proceeded to the cathedral and, after searching it all the way up its bell tower, confirmed to Headquarters that it was empty of Germans. The order to destroy the cathedral was withdrawn.

 

Colonel Griffith was killed in action later on that day in the town of Lèves, 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles) north of Chartres. For his heroic action both at Chartres and Lèves, Colonel Griffith received, posthumously, decorations awarded by the President of the United States and the U.S. Military, and also from the French government.

 

Following deep reconnaissance missions and after heavy fighting in and around the city, Chartres was liberated on the 18th. August 1944, by the U.S. 5th. Infantry and 7th. Armored Divisions commanded by General George S. Patton.

 

Churches of Chartres

 

The Église Saint-Pierre de Chartres was the church of the Benedictine Abbaye Saint-Père-en-Vallée, founded in the 7th. century by Queen Balthild. At the time of its construction, the abbey was outside the walls of the city. It contains fine stained glass and, formerly, twelve representations of the apostles in enamel, created circa 1547 by Léonard Limosin, which now can be seen in the fine arts museum.

 

Other noteworthy churches of Chartres are Saint-Aignan (13th., 16th. and 17th. centuries), and Saint-Martin-au-Val (12th. century), inside the Saint-Brice hospital.

 

Museums of Chartres

 

Chartres' Museums include:

 

-- Le Musée des Beaux-Arts, a fine arts museum, housed in the former episcopal palace adjacent to the cathedral.

-- Le Centre International du Vitrail, a workshop-museum and cultural center devoted to stained glass art, located 50 metres (160 feet) from the cathedral.

-- Le Conservatoire du Machinisme et des Pratiques Agricoles, an agricultural museum.

-- Le Musée le Grenier de l'Histoire, a history museum specializing in military uniforms and accoutrements, in Lèves, a suburb of Chartres.

-- Le Musée des Sciences Naturelles et de la Préhistoire, a Natural science and Prehistory Museum (closed since 2015).

 

Other Features of Chartres

 

The river Eure, which at this point divides into three branches, is crossed by several bridges, some of them ancient, and is fringed in places by remains of the old fortifications, of which the Porte Guillaume (14th. century), a gateway flanked by towers, was the most complete specimen, until destroyed by the retreating German army on the night of the 15th./16th. August 1944.

 

The steep, narrow streets of the old town contrast with the wide, shady boulevards which encircle it and separate it from the suburbs. The Parc André-Gagnon lies to the north-west, and squares and open spaces are numerous.

 

Part of the Hôtel de Ville dates from the 17th. century, and is called l'Hôtel de Montescot. There is also La Maison Canoniale dating back to the 13th. century, and several medieval and Renaissance houses.

 

La Maison Picassiette, a house decorated inside and out with mosaics of shards of broken china and pottery, is also worth a visit.

 

There is also a statue of General Marceau (1769–1796), a native of Chartres and a general during the French Revolution.

 

The Economy of Chartres

 

Historically, game pies and other delicacies of Chartres are well known, and the city's industries have also included flour-milling, brewing, distilling, iron-founding, leather manufacture, perfumes, dyeing, stained glass, billiard requisites and hosiery.

 

More recently, businesses include the manufacture of electronic equipment and car accessories. Since 1976 the fashion and perfumes company Puig has had a production plant in the commune.

 

Pilgrimages

 

Chartres has been a site of Catholic pilgrimages since the Middle Ages. The poet Charles Péguy, who was born in 1873, revived the pilgrimage route between Paris and Chartres before the Great War.

 

At the outbreak of the war, Péguy became a lieutenant in the French 276th. Infantry Regiment. He died at the age of 41 in battle, shot in the forehead, near Villeroy, Seine-et-Marne on the 5th. September 1914, the day before the beginning of the Battle of the Marne. There is a memorial to Charles near the field where he was killed.

 

After the war, a number of students carried on the pilgrimage in his memory. Since 1982, the association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté, with offices in Versailles, organizes the annual 100 km (62 mi) pilgrimage on foot from Notre-Dame de Paris to Notre-Dame de Chartres. About 15,000 pilgrims, from France and countries outside France, participate every year.

 

The Bataclan Theatre Massacre

 

Chartres was the home of Omar Ismael Mostefaï aged 29, one of the three gunmen who attacked the audience at the Bataclan concert venue on the 13th. November 2015, starting at 21.40.

 

It was part of a carefully co-ordinated attack on Paris; over a 20 minute period, Islamist militants also killed and injured people at the Stade de France, and at six restaurants and cafes along the 10th. and 11th. arrondissements.

 

One of the restaurants was a popular Cambodian eatery in the trendy Canal Saint-Martin area, where at least 12 people died. Another 19 people were killed at a busy restaurant on nearby Rue de Charonne.

 

Shootings and bomb blasts on that night left a total of 130 people dead and hundreds wounded, with more than 100 in a critical condition.

 

The Start of the Bataclan Massacre

 

On the evening of the 13th. November 2015, the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal was playing to an audience of about 1,500 people at the Bataclan on the Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th. arrondissement of Paris.

 

Three dark-clad gunmen had been waiting in a black rental car near the venue for more than an hour, and were armed with Zastava M70 assault rifles. The M70 is a derivative of the Soviet AK-47, and can fire at a rate of 620 rounds per minute. Over 4 million of the ghastly things have unfortunately been manufactured.

 

The terrorists were three French natives of Algerian descent. As the band was playing their song "Kiss the Devil", the three men got out of the car and opened fire on people outside the venue, killing three.

 

They then burst into the concert hall and sprayed the crowd with automatic gunfire. Witnesses heard shouts of "Allahu Akbar" as the terrorists opened fire. Initially, the audience mistook the gunfire for pyrotechnics. The band ran offstage and escaped with many of the crew, although their tour manager was killed.

 

Rows of people were mown down by gunfire or were forced to drop to the ground to avoid being shot. Survivors described hundreds of people lying beside and on top of each other in pools of blood, screaming in terror and pain.

 

The gunmen also fired up into the balconies, and dead bodies fell down onto the stalls below. For a few minutes, the hall was plunged into darkness, with only the flashes from the assault rifles as the gunmen kept shooting.

 

The terrorists shouted that they were there because of French airstrikes against Islamic State. A witness who was inside the Bataclan heard a gunman say:

 

"This is because of all the harm

done by Hollande to Muslims all

over the world."

 

A radio reporter attending the concert reported that:

 

"The terrorists were calm and determined, and they

reloaded three or four times. Two gunmen attacked

the concert hall; one gunman covered fire while

another reloaded to ensure maximum efficiency."

 

Whenever a gunman stopped to reload, members of the crowd, some with bullets in them, ran for the emergency exits, scrambling over each other to escape. Some were shot from behind as they fled, and the terrorists laughed as they shot them. Those who reached an emergency exit were shot by the third gunman, who had positioned himself there.

 

Other groups of people barricaded themselves in backstage rooms. Some smashed open the ceiling in an upstairs toilet, and hid among the rafters under the roof. Those who could not run lay still on the floor or under bodies pretending to be dead. One women was seen hanging from a third floor window.

 

According to survivors, the terrorists walked among those who were lying down, kicked them, and shot them in the head if there were any sign of life.

 

An eyewitness reported hearing the gunmen ask amongst themselves where the members of the Eagles of Death Metal were once the gunfire stopped. Mostefaï and another of the gunmen then went upstairs to the balconies, while the third attacker stayed downstairs and fired at people who tried to flee.

 

Initial Armed Response to the Terrorists

 

The Brigade of Research and Intervention (BRI) arrived on the scene at 22:15, soon followed by the elite tactical unit, RAID. At 22:15, the first two responding officers entered the building armed with handguns and encountered one of the terrorists who was standing on the stage.

 

The Jihadist died after being shot by the officers and detonating his explosive vest. Mostefaï and the other remaining gunman (Mohamed-Aggad) then fired upon the officers, forcing them to withdraw and wait for backup.

 

The Stand-Off

 

From this point, Mostefaï and the other attacker took about twenty hostages and herded them into a room at the end of a corridor located further within the building. They also seized the hostages' mobile phones and attempted to use them to access the Internet, but they were unable to find a signal.

 

Some of the hostages were forced to look down into the hall and out the windows and report what they saw. During this time, the two terrorists fired on police and first responders as they arrived at the scene.

 

At 23:30, an elite police squad entered the building. One unit evacuated survivors from downstairs, while another unit went upstairs. They found Mohamed-Aggad and Mostefaï, who had begun using hostages as human shields. They shouted out to police the number of a hostage's phone.

 

Over the next 50 minutes, they had four phone exchanges with a police negotiator, during which time they threatened to execute hostages unless they received a signed paper promising France's departure from Muslim lands.

 

The Police Assault

 

The police assault began at 00:20 and lasted three minutes. Police launched the assault because of reports that Mohamed-Aggad and Mostefaï had started killing hostages. Police using shields burst open the door to the room and exchanged fire with Mohamed-Aggad and Mostefaï while managing to pull the hostages one-by-one behind their shields. One terrorist detonated his explosive vest, and the other tried to do the same but was shot.

 

Ninety people were killed at the Bataclan on that night, and hundreds of others were wounded. Almost all of the deceased victims were killed within the first 20 minutes of the attack. All of the hostages were rescued without injury.

 

Police dog teams from the Brigade Cynophile assisted with body removal because of concerns that there could still be live explosives in the theatre. Identification and removal of the bodies took 10 hours, a process made difficult because some audience members had left their identity papers in the theatre's cloakroom.

 

Omar Ismael Mostefaï

 

The homegrown suicide bomber Omar Ismael Mostefaï was identified after his finger was found among the Bataclan concert hall carnage.

 

Mostefaï was born in the Paris suburb of Courcouronnes and had eight past convictions for petty crimes. He is said to have been radicalised by a Belgian hate preacher at a mosque in France.

 

The Jihadist was buried in the Cimetière Parisien de Thiais

located in Val-de-Marne.

Gordana and Dragan Dulovic, Cheese Producers from Lipovo, Montenegro, make Kolasin Lisnati sir (layered cheese) and also offer a farm stay experience on their Dulovic Farm

 

In northern Montenegro, FAO and EBRD, with funding from Luxembourg, helped farmers like Gordana and Dragan Dulovic get international recognition - Geographical Indication (GI) status - for some of their foods thanks to their high quality and unique production process.

 

Crnogorska Goveđa pršuta (Montenegrin dried beef meat) and Crnogorska Stelja (Montenegrin dried and smoked sheep meat) received GI status in 2018.

 

Inspired by the project, five additional products have been registered as GI, including Kolasin Lisnati sir (layered cheese), which is produced mainly by women.

 

To get the GI certification, the project staff worked with farmers, food processors and local authorities to help them upgrade their products’ food safety and quality standards. This included helping producers develop and agree on a code of practice that they must respect in order to sell their products under the GI label – for example, the food must come from the designated areas, and high quality and hygiene standards must be upheld. The project has also supported policy dialogue and development of appropriate food safety standards in the meat sector at the national level, and raised producers’ and consumers’ awareness about the new standards.

 

The GI-labelled dried beef, for example, must be made from the best cuts of fresh beef fed mostly on grass, salted with sea salt, beechwood-smoked and dried in the mountain air. This gives the meat its distinctive dark plum colour, consistency and texture and prevents any bitter taste.

 

By supporting local traditions to build better livelihoods and empower communities, FAO and the EBRD are working toward a world free of poverty and hunger.

By the time you see the smoke of an electrical fire it’s far too late. Just what are the indication that inform you there may be an issue with your electrical wiring as well as you should hire an electrician?

 

A burning smell originating from devices or in spaces. Flickering or Flashing lights. Circuit breakers that constantly turn on and off. Tarnished wall surface electrical outlets. Fuses that constantly blow. Electrical outlets that trigger. Electrical outlets as well as changes that are warm to the touch. They’re all indications that inform you something is wrong with the electric system in your house. The longer you wait to obtain them dealt with, the higher the possibility of an electric fire. You should call an emergency electrician near me to repair your electrical circuits if you detect any of those signs.

 

Ultimately every home goes to threat of an electric fire. Why? Due to the fact that electric cables obtains broken – much like whatever else. Absolutely nothing lasts permanently.

 

Electric currents create warm waste. With time that warmth could trigger the conductor to broaden and also agreement. At some point it will certainly loosen up the link. As well as soon as it’s loosened, the power could arc. When this occurs the capacity for an electric fire is big.

 

Electrical Smells – Signs of electrical fire in walls

 

You could not see a little smoke, however might have the ability to scent it. If you scent smoke in your house, venture out and also call 911. Firemen will certainly react and also inspect your home. They are educated and also experienced in situating these troubles and also geared up with warmth discovery tools that could identify warm inside wall surfaces or various other surprise areas.

 

Too hot circuitry could develop smells and also will certainly need even more examination. You could should examine the breaker or fuse box to see if any kind of circuits are warmer compared to others; a thermal imager could assist with this.

 

Firemen must restrict their participation to confirming no fire exists, closing down ideal breakers where required and also referring the passenger to a certified electrical expert. Sometimes, drywall could have to be gotten rid of around “smoked” electrical outlets or various other electric tools, to validate there has actually been no fire spread. A burning odor in a home without recognizable resource could be terrifying. An electric fire at first has a rather acrid scent and also a brief that triggers a short shed has the exact same odor. Electric fires that capture bordering product ablaze, nevertheless, have an extremely various scent.

 

If a burning scent exists, specifically if it scents acrid, call an electrical expert instantly and also maintain a fire extinguisher helpful up until an electrical contractor could appear. In many cases, the brief remains in the electrical outlet, yet if it remains in the circuitry inside the wall surface, it could much more conveniently capture bordering products ablaze. In either case, house owners must additionally switch off the breaker or eliminate the fuse for that circuit till the electrical contractor could analyze the circuit.

 

On the various other hand, an electric smell, while commonly very easy to acknowledge, could be hard to locate. The smell of a getting too hot ballast is very easy to acknowledge, yet occasionally it is challenging to situate the annoying light. This is specifically real in a huge industrial structure with many fluorescent lights. In today’s houses and also organizations, there are several feasible resources of electric smells, making it tough for firemen to find the root cause of the smell. One more issue in locating electric smells is that often the resource is not electric in any way.

 

Structures with fluorescent illumination constantly have the possibility for an overheated light ballast. These emit an unique smell, however you could discover it hard to identify specifically which light overheated, especially if you cannot reach them. Look pointer: Visually inspect the lights for dimming light bulbs or one light that shows up dimmer compared to the others. Be certain upkeep workers or an electrical contractor is on hand to eliminate any type of issue system. Wait up until you could validate that the light has actually not sparked the ceiling, as warm ballasts touching flammable products on or over a ceiling have actually created countless framework fires. A thermal imager could be fairly convenient in looking for overheated ballasts.

 

Occasional Flashing, Flickering, or Dimming Lights – Are they predictors of electrical fires?

 

Dimming as well as flickering lights are an indicator of an overloaded circuit. As one more gadget transforms on in a circuit, particularly electric motor owned gadgets, they draw extra amps compared to when they run at a consistent speed. If it occurs typically, nevertheless, this could be an indication of damaged electrical wiring or a negative circuit breaker that requires to be changed.

 

Flickering or lowering lights might suggest a brief in the circuitry, hazardous arcing or an overextension of your home’s electric systems. Simply due to the fact that your circuit breaker hasn’t already stumbled, does not indicate there isn’t really an issue with your electric circuitry. One more signs and symptom of out dated or harmed electrical wiring is flickering, humming or lowering lights.

 

Either the links to the component or your home electric circuitry in the circuit breaker box might be loosened. Lowering lights is one more usual sign of circuit overload or inappropriate circuitry. Flickering lights could result from harmed component electrical wiring (specifically if it’s influencing simply one of 2 or even more components on the very same circuit), an issue with a mistake or the button someplace.

 

In all situations, call a certified electrical contractor immediately to arrange a maintenance.

 

Worn or Damaged Wires – Warning signs of electrical fire

 

Lots of times, electric circuitry and also cables end up being harmed over years of usage. Circuitry could be harmed inside and also result in shorts, arcing as well as fire. Examine all revealed cables and also circuitry on a routine basis as well as examine for damages.

 

House owners ought to end up being mindful of exactly what the safety and security worries are of old circuitry in their residences and also discover concerning 5 of the most usual electric circuitry caution indications. Electric parts as well as screening devices could be discovered at any kind of big-box home repair shop as well as at any kind of specialized electric elements shops As a word of care, nonetheless, if there is any kind of uncertainty regarding a home’s electric circuitry, particularly with old residences, it is frequently well worth the financial investment to have a qualified electrical contractor take a look at the home’s electric system.

 

Fractured insulation on expansion cables. Change expansion cables every couple of years. Detecting as well as fixing electric troubles could be complicated, so you’ll require to comply with safety and security treatments.

 

Without entirely undamaged insulation, electric circuitry is very hazardous. Stories of beginners making use of expansion cables for circuit electrical wiring are common. If you discover unacceptable electrical wiring anywhere in your residence, think the worst; it’s time for a total evaluation.

 

Keep an eye out for torn or eaten circuitry generally brought on by rats, family pets and also amateur handymen, any type of broken circuitry similar to this is a massive shock as well as fire threat. It’s of miraculous value that if you believe or discover that there is any type of troubles of this kind, you must get in touch with an electric service provider or electrical wiring specialist to check as well as change your home’s electrical wiring.

 

Running an expansion cable produces added factors where cables could kink, brief out or obtain squeezed, leading to stumbled breakers, harmed electrical outlets or also a fire. Use extension cables moderately and also for brief durations of time– throughout the vacations.

 

Circuit Breaker Keeps “Tripping” – Can a circuit breaker cause a fire?

 

Circuit breakers are made to “blow” when a circuit is over loaded. Circuit breakers aid to secure the home from fire by “tripping” when the circuit starts to overload by surpassing the number of amps the circuit is ranked for. If, nonetheless, the amp lots of the home appliances is much less compared to just what the circuit breaker or fuse is ranked for, after that there might be a brief in the circuitry someplace along the circuit.

 

If a circuit breaker journeys often, you must seek advice from an electrical expert. Circuit breakers as well as merges are created to stop working as a means to avoid overloading. If utilizing a solitary electrical outlet creates you to blow the exact same fuse repetitively, the circuit is most likely strained.

 

It’s flawlessly regular to go years without needing to reset a stumbled breaker or change a blown fuse. If you have a fuse box that blows relatively frequently, there’s a great chance it’s overwhelmed (the power needs on the circuit surpass its secure capability), or there could be a brief or mistake someplace in the circuitry run or on any type of gadgets linked to the circuit.

 

Circuit breakers could be examined with a circuit breaker tester if the device amp lots must not be stumbling the circuit. If the amp tons is reduced compared to the circuit ranking and also the circuit breaker is great, there is something incorrect with the electrical wiring as well as a qualified electrical contractor must be called out to check out and also repair the electrical wiring as quickly as feasible.

 

It’s usual for a home circuit breaker to journey. If your circuit breaker journeys often– numerous times a month or even more– that’s a proven indicator that there is a further, possibly unsafe trouble in your home’s electric circuitry.

 

How do you prevent an electrical fire?

 

Obtain a qualified electricician to come in to do an audit of the whole residence. Older residences require tender caring treatment, and also their covert electric circuitry is no various. Believe currently concerning exactly how you’ll manage these circumstances, you’re able to rapidly as well as properly determine the trouble as well as go back to solution for the following run.

 

These fire fighters made a video to help you learn how to prevent electrical fires:

 

Transform off the circuit breaker to that part of the system as well as call a certified and also experienced electrical expert if you recognize a caution indication within your home’s electric system. Electrical contractors have the capacity to compute appropriate circuit tons, examination the circuitry as well as situate any kind of troubles which might trigger a fire.

 

Maintaining your electric system in excellent repair is just one of one of the most crucial points you can do to maintain the safety and security of your home. Do not place off an examination by a certified electrical contractor if you come across any of the above signs and symptoms. The initiative you require to avoid more concerns might conserve you as well as your family members from a bothersome loss of power or a fatal home fire.

The Postcard

 

A postally unused postcard bearing no studio name. There are no indications as to the identity of the girl or the location of the photograph. Note the girl's high lace-up boots.

 

Although the card was not posted, the girl in the photograph has written on the divided back:

 

"To Auntie Floss."

 

The card was posted to Auntie Floss in an envelope, and has left an impression of the postmark on the shiny surface of the photograph. The envelope containing the card was posted on the 25th. November 1907.

 

Pamela Mitford

 

So what else happened on Monday the 25th. November 1907?

 

Well, the day marked the birth of Pamela Freeman-Mitford. Pamela was one of the Mitford sisters.

 

Pamela Freeman-Mitford was the second daughter of David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd. Baron Redesdale, and Sydney Bowles (1880–1963).

 

John Betjeman, who for a time was in love with her, referred to her in his unpublished poem, The Mitford Girls, as the "most rural of them all" since she preferred to live quietly in the country.

 

They met when she was managing Biddesden, in Wiltshire, the house of her brother-in-law, Bryan Guinness, 2nd Baron Moyne.

 

In 1936, Pamela married the millionaire physicist Derek Jackson. Jackson was bisexual, and married six times.

 

They lived at Tullamaine Castle in Fethard, County Tipperary, with Jackson's bisexuality and womanizing raising some suspicions that it was a marriage of convenience.

 

In comparison to her sisters, Pamela lived a very quiet life. She took the traditional “female tasks” such as housekeeping very seriously, which is why her sister Nancy liked to call her “Woman”.

 

However, her life was everything but boring. She had quite a few adventures while traveling around Europe in her Morris Minor, and was one of the first female passengers on a transatlantic commercial flight.

 

After her divorce in 1951, Pamela spent much of the next twenty years as the companion of Giuditta Tommasi (died 1993), an Italian horsewoman.

 

Her sister Jessica described her as having become a "You-Know-What-bian", although Diana Mitford was less certain whether Pamela and Giuditta were lovers. They parted in 1972 when Pamela returned to the Cotswolds to live at Caundle Green.

 

Pamela died on the 12th. April 1994, in London at the age of 86.

 

John Stuart Hindmarsh

 

Also on that day, John Stuart Hindmarsh was born. John was an English racing car driver and aviator.

 

Hindmarsh was educated at Sherborne and then attended the Royal Military College. He joined the Royal Army Tank Corps in 1928, then in 1930 learned to fly with the Royal Air Force.

 

Hindmarsh also raced Talbot and Lagonda cars; he won the Le Mans 24-Hour Race in 1935 in a 4½ litre Lagonda Rapide with Luis Fontés (222 laps; 3007 km; average speed 125.3 km/h).

 

Hindmarsh was killed at the age of 30 while test flying a Hawker Hurricane at Brooklands on the 6th. September 1938; he is thought to have been overcome by carbon monoxide fumes in the cockpit. The aeroplane dived almost vertically into the ground and exploded at the foot of St. George's Hill, almost opposite the Vickers factory entrance.

 

John Stuart Hindmarsh's Family Life

 

Hindmarsh married the multiple record-breaking racing driver Violette Cordery on the 15th. September 1931 at Stoke D'Abernon parish church, and they had two daughters, one of whom married the racing driver Roy Salvadori.

 

After John's death in 1938, Cordery retired from public life until her death on the 30th. December 1983 in Oxshott, Surrey.

There is no signpost or other indication of this feature on the ground in the park. I wonder if the authorities (I use the word sarcastically) even know it's there. It's being left to decay and ruin like much in this supposedly excellent park, although this end looks smart, the lettering grows more ragged towards the opposite end and eventually has blocks missing.

 

Reading from the east to the mid point of the text, it reads 'Lords and Ladies, Love In A Mist'. Reading from the west to the mid point the text is unreadable until .....'Lily of The Valley'. Lords and Ladies, Love In A Mist and Lilies of The Valley are all flowering plants, though the plants spelling out these names appear to be box hedge. On the ground the western end is even more illegible, the majority of the plants removed by either gardener or vandal. Some of the missing letters can still be traced by the metal edging still in the ground that presumably gave the topiarists a line and prevented lateral root proliferation. The ultimate irony of this neglected and ignored feature is that the missing letters probably spell out 'Forget Me Nots'.

History of Kraków

First indications of the existence of Krakow approximately stem from the 7th century. In the next following centuries the tribe of Vistulans (Wislanie) populated Krakow, after they centuries ago in the as "Lesser Poland" or Malopolska known region had settled down. From the year 965 stems the first document from Krakow, as Abraham ben Jacob of Cordova, a Jewish merchant, in his book referred to the trading center of Krakow.

In 1000, the Diocese of Krakow was founded and in 1038 declared capital of the Piast dynasty. The Wawel castle and several churches were built in the 11th century and thus the town rapidly grew. 1241 the Mongols invaded the city and burned down Krakow without exception. 1138 Krakow became the seat of the senior prince. 1257 Kraków was awarded its town charter and a city map was drawn up, which remained until today. This one included the arrangement of the checkerboard street configuration with a centrally located market. On the market following the seat of the city government was built. From the historical trading functions until today only the Cloth Halls remained. But on the market not only trade agreements were closed but also courtly and urban festivities celebrated. Furthermore, the urban center served for executions. The defensive walls were built, which surrounded the city and linked it to the Wawel. In the south of Wawel Castle in 1335 the city of Kazimierz was created. By Royal command it was surrounded by defense walls and the churches of St. Catherine, of Corpus Christi and the "Na Skalce" were built. End of the 15th century, Jews settled the later Cracow district. 1364 the Cracow Academy of King Kazimierz Wielki was founded, the famous Polish Jagellonen-University.

With the last king of Jagellonian dynasty, Krakow flourished. The Wawel castle was rebuilt in Renaissance style, the well known Zygmunt chapel was built and the Cloth Halls as well as the patrician houses have been restored. During the reign of King Sigismund III. Vasa the baroque style received introduction in Krakow. The Baroque University Church of St. Anne and the Church of Saints Peter and Paul were built in this period. In 1607 Warsaw was declared headquarters of the King, but Krakow retained its title of the Royal capital. Furthermore, it remained the place of coronations and funerals. Middle of the 17th century, the city was devastated by the Swedes, what at the beginning of the 18th century was produced again.

After the first partition of Poland, Krakow became a frontier town. Austria declared the settlement Podgorze separated city. After the second division in 1794, began the Polish national uprising. After its decline and the third partition of Poland the town fell to the Austrians, which on Wawel Hill caused numerous devastations and adapted buildings to the wishes and needs of the Army. 1809 Cracow was affiliated to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. After the defeat of Napoleon, Krakow in the Vienna Convention of 1815 was declared Free City of Kraków. Then the remains of folk hero Tadeusz Kosciuszko and of Prince Jozef Poniatowski were brought back to the city. 1820-1823 on the rise of St. Bronislava a hill in honor of the leader of the popular uprising was built. Instead of the city walls, which were largely destroyed, they laid out supporting beams. 1846 Krakow lost its independence and the Austrians erected again on the Wawel barracks and they surrounded the Wawel with fortification complexes. However, Austria but has proved less tyrannical and so the city enjoyed a certain degree of growing cultural and political freedom. 1918 Krakow became the independence back.

Before the outbreak of the Second World War, in Krakow lived about 260,000 inhabitants, of which 65,000 belonged to the Jewish religion. During the war, also Krakow became witness of German war crimes. The for the greater part Jewish district of Kazimierz was eradicated. The Jews from now on lived in ghettos where they either were deported from there to Auschwitz or immediately shot. In spite of the plundering of the Nazis, Krakow became no scene for military combat operations and thus the only large Polish town escaping this fate. Therefore, its old architecture still almost completely is intact.

After the surrender of Germany and the Polish liberation, hastened the Communist government to inspire the traditional life and the city with a large steel plant in Nowa Huta. But the intensive rebuilding of the economy and industry rather promoted an ecological disaster. Buildings that had survived the war undamaged were now devoured and destroyed by acid rain and toxic gases. Carbon dioxide emissions grew so powerful that this has remained a serious and grave problem of the city. After the fall of the Communists and the fall of the Iron Curtain Krakow has benefited greatly from tourism and has adapted itself to a large extent to the Western culture.
