With all indications looking as if this was a cancelled service as the working set off 205 minutes late from the British Steel Corporation's GBRf sidings at Scunthorpe, but then reached 250 late by the time it had got to the Doncaster area after which it picked up a bit of time but still arrived at its destination in the Honeybourne area, 166 minutes late; I have no indication why it was so late setting off. This is the smartly turned out pair of Colas Rail class 56, 'Grids' again, the second set seen this time hauling a brightly coloured set of 'Departmental' wagons the 1st of which looks like a Network Rail curtained window portacabin followed by what looks lie a new crane and other newish looking 'tackle'. This is the late running 6X56, Scunthorpe B.S.C. to Long Marston working with 56302 in charge and 56087 behind it on the is short consist. 56302 has a small commemorative nameplate on the side with 'PECO' prominent at the top, 'Peco - The Railway Modeller 2016 70 Years' and 56302's 'undercarriage' looks in better shape than the one on the unit behind. Towering over the proceedings at top left is St. Thomas Church, Kilnhurst, with its bright blue pit-head wheel in its garden, overlooking the railway, as a commemoration to the miners of Kilnhurst Colliery - '1858 - 1989, They Shall Not be Forgotten', the large blue-painted pit-head gear wheels surmounting the memorial stone. Having made the effort to grab this shot and with the set very late, the working made headway straight past on its almost 7 hour journey down to Long Marston and time to grab a quick 'going away' shot, without that damned pipe across the tracks, in the way!
If the precision applied to making this sign is any indication I'd be concerned about getting my hair cut here! Walsenburg CO.

The departure signal displays "medium turnout" with route indicator, as the sky darkens towards night.
Medium turnout is the highest turnout indication available under the NSW signalling system, and means that the next signal via the turnout route will show at least "caution" or "caution turnout". The "N" in the route indicator stands for "north fork" at this location.

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.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by A. L. There are no indications as to the identity of the lady, but as the photography was by Bassano, a leading society photographer in central London, the lady would have been someone of prominence, probably an actress.
If anyone out there recognises her, please leave a note.
The card was posted in Brighton using a ½d. stamp on Wednesday the 9th. September 1908. It was sent to:
Miss E. King,
The New Inn,
Pevensey,
Sussex.
The pencilled message on the divided back of card was as follows:
"Dear Emm,
Just a card for your
collection.
I hope you will have
a good holiday.
Love & wishes,
Lillie."
Jimmy Bauchop
So what else happened on the day that Lillie posted the card?
Well, on the 9th. September 1908, Jimmy Bauchop of Crystal Palace started off the football season by becoming the first player to be sent off in a Palace shirt. His ejection from the match occurred during a London Challenge Cup tie against Croydon Common.
However Jimmy redeemed himself by finishing the season as top-scorer.
Shigekazu Shimazaki
The 9th. September 1908 also marked the birth, in Ōita, Japan, of Shigekazu Shimazaki.
Shigekazu Shimazaki (嶋崎 重和), was a Japanese officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service during World War II.
Shimazaki is best known as the leader of the second wave of the air attack on Pearl Harbor on the 7th. December 1941.
He was piloting a Nakajima B5N2, and led the attack group of 54 high-level bombers and 78 dive bombers. Because of the apparent success of the mission, he and Mitsuo Fuchida, the leader of the 1st. wave of attack, were granted an audience with Emperor Shōwa at the Tokyo Imperial Palace on the 25th. December 1941.
Shimazaki was killed in action at the age of 36 on the 9th. January 1945, near Taiwan. He was posthumously promoted two ranks to rear admiral.
What Shimazaki and the Emperor did not know at the time was that the Pearl Harbour attack had awoken a sleeping giant that would ultimately bring the Empire of Japan to its knees.
The War in the Pacific
On the 6th. August 1945 a U.S. Army Air Forces B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, destroying the city. The Soviet Union then declared war on Japan on the 8th. August. The following day the Red Army marched into Manchuria, where the Kwantung Army, whose best units had long since been withdrawn, could offer only slight resistance.
A second atomic bomb was dropped, on Nagasaki, on the 9th. August 1945. The emperor, who had been viewed as having near God-like status, insisted, to his deep shame, on surrender. The surrender was accompanied by a wave of suicides amongst military officers and nationalists who felt themselves dishonoured, but the emperor’s personal prestige was still sufficient to carry the surrender process to its conclusion.
The Pacific War thus came to an end on the 14th. August 1945. Extremists within the military made a final attempt to prolong the war by preventing the 15th. August radio broadcast of the emperor’s surrender announcement, but they were unsuccessful.
On the 2nd. September 1945, U.S. and Japanese representatives met aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay to conclude the formal surrender agreement.
Subsequent research concluded that neither the atomic bomb nor the Soviet declaration of war were the central factors in Japan’s capitulation, although they hastened its arrival.
It was concluded that the Allied naval blockade had brought economic victory by annihilating Japan’s merchant marine capacity, and preventing the effective exploitation of Japan’s newly-acquired colonies.
American submarines sank nearly 5 million tons of Japanese merchant ships, while army and navy aircraft accounted for an additional 2.5 million tons. The devastating American strategic bombing campaign brought the likelihood of defeat to the Japanese public, killing hundreds of thousands and rendering nearly one-third of Japan’s urban population homeless.
The sanguinary battles in the Pacific had so depleted the strength of the Japanese navy and air force that the home islands could be threatened with invasion.
The American occupation force found Japan’s cities in ruins, its supplies exhausted, and its factories gutted. The Japanese government, whose boasts and guarantees of victory had proven hollow, stood without prestige or respect. Shortages of food and spiraling inflation threatened what remained of the Japanese government and national identity.

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.

12 May 2019, Montenegro - Mountain sleeping hut in the style of the katuns. With help from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Some 100 smallholder farmers from small mountain villages are now reaping the benefits of agro-tourism and getting recognition for preserving centuries-old culinary traditions and a way of life that, elsewhere, has been long abandoned or is slowing dying out. The FAO-EBRD project has linked smallholder farmers, hotel and restaurant owners to local government and tourism agencies to promote their agro-tourism initiatives. It connected farmers with restaurant and hotel owners; trained farmers and chefs in how to store and cook local products to meet the European Unions’ hygienic standards, and adapt old recipes for today’s use – all with the aim of encouraging locals to keep their traditions alive whilst boosting their incomes and bettering their lives. Elsewhere in the small mountainous villages of northern Montenegro, FAO and EBRD, with funding from Luxembourg, helped farmers get international recognition - Geographical Indication (GI) status - for some of their foods thanks to their high quality and unique production process.
