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.

This lens is called Synthetic Purple.
inner doublet, missing a red metal rimmed roundel that is inserted in the hole of this lens on the stepped side which is 1 5/8 dia. and is chamfered at this widest point to just near 1 1/4 which looks seated ,
Thank you, Steve Cherry. For the opportunity to obtain this lens
for the lens folder.
and Thank you Zachary again for adding your comment
about this odd lens .
cite: paddy fitz for "Synthetic Purple"
Thank you Railroad signals of the U.S. web site.
Had it not been for paddy fitz commenting about my use
of the "C" word, that most non railroaders use to describe
purple.
his mentioning the word "synthetic purple"
led me to the Railroad signals of the U.S. web site
in which the moderator Todd, felt inclined to share his comments of
his run in with another knowledgeable collector . regarding the "incorrect" term, or is it? (cobalt) aka "C" word, is simply a great must read!
which nerves some in the railroad signalling and collector groups .
However all these forums do in fact bring out correct
historical tidbits, its cutting through the white noise
and rooting out the meaty parts that
brought the below information together that discuses
Purple its use and strange alteration concoctions in early electric color light signalling that's not wildly known.
Thanks guys. and yes this is and its variants are rare and the use of this red center purple is not system wide.
other sources state "hot pink"
however Synthetic purple does hit on web searches however
a glitch in google books will not allow you to pin point the discussion about synthetic purple as google targets "primary batteries" story , i nearly read the whole book finally discovering the synthetic purple story days later .
Enjoy the information as i presented it word for word
comma to period from the book verbatim below.
January, 1936
Railway Signalling and communications, Volume 28
Two Parts ----- part two.
"What information is available as to the use of improved types of signal
glasses to provide a more satisfactory purple aspect?"
Red Center Purple
B.J. Schwendt
Assistant signal engineer, New York Central, Cleveland Ohio.
We have solved our difficulty on color-light dwarf signals by using what we call
a Red-centered purple.
With the regular full purple lens, even with the highest transmission,
it was almost necessary to use a 40-watt instead of an 18-watt
lamp to produce a daylight indication of sufficient range
to cover the stopping distance under the permissible speed
at such signals. This complicated the manner of supplying the standby battery
for such signals. After experimenting in 1928, we hit on the idea of the red-centered purple, which not only made it possible for to use the standard electric lamp on these color-light dwarfs, but also increased the range of visibility.
The following information states the details of this "more satisfactory purple lens"
for color-light dwarf signals:
1, The red center 1 15/64 in, in diameter and is applied to the 3 5/8
inner unit of the doublet lens, which is the color unit.
2, This lens gives about 900 ft. daylight indication under the most adverse sunlight
conditions, whereas our regular purple gives about 500 ft.. wattage and other conditions remaining the same.
3, The electric lamp used is the standard for color-light dwarf signal namely 8- volt
18-watt , rebased PS-16 bulb burning at 7.5 volts .
4, Under bright sunlight conditions, this particular lens
Looks like a poor red ; that is, the purple portion looks bluish and is difficult to see.
By night it looks like a real purple at 300 ft , the red becoming more predominant
as the distance from the signal increases. By night the regular purple looks quite blue, the slight red showing up only at greater distances from the signal.
5, Tests were conducted on a similar purple unit with a red center , only
27/32 in , in diameter. This shortened the range slightly as compared with the large red center, reducing it from 910 to 730 ft and reducing the predominance
of the red previously mentioned.
6, on a cloudy day the comparative ranges are as follows.
Large red center purple- 2000 ft.
Small red center purple- 1600 ft .
Our regular all purple- 1100 ft .
Comments of a manufacturer:
W.N. Manuel
Manager Corning Glass Works ,Railroad , Marine & Traffic division, Corning
N.Y.
Purple, as a signal indication, will probably always be restricted to short range
visibility.
With a kerosene light source , purple is distinctive for a short range night
indication but the the glass appears blue when used as a Mazda lamp
burning near normal voltage.
Electric purple of much greater saturation may be successfully used
as a short range night signal indication, but the range is not sufficient for day light
indication.
A synthetic purple, for use of the doublet lens combination, as manufactured for the signal companies, is in use on the New York Central lines west.
an electric purple disk, having a minimum transmission of 30 per cent,
is used in the searchlight type signal,and its performance may also be obtained
from the New York Central Lines east.
The electric purples are included in the A.A.R.
signal section specification 69-35.
The synthetic purple consists of a red and purple glass
combination , of a predetermined ratio of color area to produce the desired color range within its limitation.
This combination offers at present the best solution for improving
the purple indication.
A Combination Satisfactory:
F.C. Stewart
signal engineer, Elgin Joliet and Eastern
Joliet Ill.
pg 438.
We have never been able to secure a satisfactory
purple for night indication for dwarf signals; consequently,
we resorted to the expedient of inserting a 1 1/4 in diameter red glass disk
in the center of the 5 3/8 in diameter purple roundel .
We think this greatly improved our night indications and the enginemen
liked the change.
on our first installation of color-light dwarf signals of the searchlight type,
we found the stop indication to be very unsatisfactory, especially during the very bright daylight.
We asked the manufacturers to provide red disks with 1/4 in horizontal purple glass stripes through the centers.
The disks were mounted so that the 1/4 in would be horizontal when the signals were in the stop position.
This practice greatly improved the stop indications, as the signal gave the appearance of a red light with a purple halo, or a purple light with a red halo.
either type gave a workable indication.
We do not believe that, in the present state of the art , a satisfactory
purple indication be secured and would prefer a dark red for the stop
indication on dwarf signals.
However , they are made much more frequently than the old custom
of periodic night checks.
When the color- light signals are used, it is the practice
to change lamps periodically so that lamps are burned according
to their rated life.
Consequently, a reported "light out" failure rarely occurs.
With the modern color-light signal, means are provided for focusing
the light in the daytime so that we are assured of good daylight and night indications.

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.

Calçot is a variety of garden onion known as Blanca Gran Tardana from Lleida. The Calçot from Valls (Tarragona, Catalonia) is a registered EU Protected Geographical Indication. The most traditional way of eating calçots is in a calçotada (plural: calçotades), a popular gastronomical event held between the end of winter and March or April, where calçots are consumed massively.
Calçots are then barbecued and dipped in salvitxada or romesco sauce, and accompanied by red wine or cava. Pieces of meat and bread slices are roasted in the charcoal after cooking the calçots (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cal%C3%A7ot).

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.
The United States is now number one in the world for natural gas production, and oil production is on track for world domination soon as well.
I remember these silly scare tactics stuff last election, how gas would go over 5 bucks a gallon and how we need to hate the president if we're truly patriotic because of it and such...
Well...he promised we would become less dependent on foreign oil especially from the Mideast...and that's exactly what's happened.
If this continues, and there's every indication that it will, the price could continue to go down. Consider for a moment that the price of gas in Saudi Arabia has been about the equivalent of about a buck a gallon...and now we're actually beating them at their own game! GO USA - THE LEADER, AGAIN.

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.
