Below is a chronology of New Chum's gold mining history and an indication of some of its yearly gold returns,1860 to 1937.
1859 Gold is discovered at Kiandra.
1860 - 1861 Kiandra gold rush.
1860 (March or April) - Gold is found on New Chum Hill in the vicinity of Homeward Bound claim. It is mined using a technique called ‘puddling’.
1860 (April / May) - Gold is found in the vicinity of Cornishmans claim.
1860 (late) - Gold is found in the vicinity of Pattinson and Winklers claim.
1861 (early) - Tunnelling for deep lead gold commences on New Chum in the vicinity of Pattinson and Winklers claim. Cameron and Party sink the first tunnel followed by Colquhoun and Party and then Drummond and Party.
1861 (Dec) - First water race from Three Mile Creek is constructed to bring water to Homeward Bound claim and ground sluicing commences.
1866 - Emperor Tunnel is started, below Pattinson and Winklers and Cornishmans claims
1875 - Emperor Tunnel is the only major mining on New Chum Hill, some minor ground sluicing is still underway.
1878 - Mining returns for all of Kiandra, including New Chum are very low; only 200 ounces. No water is available for ground sluicing as there is a drought. The major sluicing claims are floated and purchased by the Kiandra Gold Mining Company.
1879 - Mining of the Emperor Tunnel ends and machinery is moved to Adelong, near Tumut.
1879 - Drummond and Nuttals Tunnel is started.
1881- Construction of Three Mile Dam is started by the Kiandra Gold Mining Company.
1882 - Three Mile Dam is complete.
1883 - Water from Three Mile Dam enables hydraulic sluicing to commence on the 14th of May. Sluicing is continued day and night in three shifts. From 1883 to 1900 the Kiandra Gold Mining Company returns 5,353 ounces of gold.
1884 - 933 ounces of gold returned from hydraulic sluicing.
1885 - 1,065 ounces of gold is returned from hydraulic sluicing.
1886 - Three Mile Dam wall is raised and water supply to New Chum increased but water supply does run out.
1888 - Gold return drops to 586 ounces.
1893 - New Chum Hill sluicing claims are let out to tribute.
By 1900 hydraulic sluicing on New Chum has effectively ended.
1901 - Andrews and Pittman visit Kiandra to report on the Kiandra Lead.
1902 - Marks and Party sink a tunnel into New Chum, but it returns no gold.
1903 - Pattinson and Winklers sluicing claim is effectively abandoned.
1929 to 1934 - GH Bell retrieves a small amount of gold from sluicing New Chum.
1937 - Victorian company, the Kiandra Gold Mines tested a site on New Chum without gold returns.
Dredging was introduced in Kiandra in 1900. It increased the amount of gold production for a while but ended in 1904.

Title:Indications plainly show you're going to marry someone I know
Creator:Whitney, George C., 1842-1915
Description:Embossed postcard depicting a little girl with a pumpkin-like head in a witch's costume holding the palm of a little boy, also with a pumpkin-like head, and sitting on a log by the woods as she tells him his future: "The indications plainly show You're going to marry someone I know". This card was sent from Aunt Emily to her nephew Arthur, although no postage was used. (Editor's note: Although this card is undated, it was probably produced around the early part of the twentieth century, thus the Coverage (Time Period) of 1901-1920.)

The history of roses in the People's Garden
The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:
1000 standard roses
4000 Floribunda,
300 rambling roses,
(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.
Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:
1859 - Rubens
1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods
1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier
The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:
730 tree roses
2300 Floribunda
132 rambling roses
100 shrub roses
That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.

1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made multiple extensions.
The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)
What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.
Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.
Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.
1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:

Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;
English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.
Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose
Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)
Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses
Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).
All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".
Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )
Other classifications are:
(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.
Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds
Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other
English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)
4000 Floribunda
Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy
There are few smelling varieties
Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms
New concept of color: from red to light yellow
The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.
This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.
Colorful roses
2011: white and pink roses
2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .
Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering
Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock
What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.
Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.
1000 Tree roses
Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.
During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.
Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)
Plantings - Pests - Winter Care
Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).
Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).
In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.
Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.
Pest Control with Poison
The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).
They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.
Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

300 ambling roses
The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.
They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.
Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.
4 x/year fertilizing
4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.
Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.
In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).
Finishes in the Augarten
Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.
Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.
Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.
200 shrub roses
Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument
Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.
The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.
Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time
classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.
Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.
They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.
The Renner- Rose
The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.
It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner
When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.
Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.
Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz
He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.
In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.
High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.
Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?
The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".
After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.
Renner Rose is almost 100 years old
A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.
In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

Video of a cabinet display panel showing the FYA operation. This is a simple T intersection, but our display panels show a 4-leg intersection, with all options of overlaps and FYA for the lefts. This is in case the intersection is modified, we can simply hook up new field wires.
The left turn phase is phase 2 (not 5). Note at the end of the video, the FYA is delayed coming up after phases 4 and 8 go green. The delay is programmed in the controller. In this case, the driver seeing the left turn indication sees a red arrow for 2 seconds after the main street green occurs. After 2 seconds of red, the controller begins displaying the FYA to the left turn driver.

Old St Nicholas' Church dates from around 1080, but a wooden church is thought to have been on the site in 700 AD. It is partially ruined, with the nave roof missing. It was remodelled in the late Middle Ages, and restored in 1846. The porch was rebuilt in 1904, but the church has been semi derelict since the opening of the new St Nicholas' Church in 1944, down the hill. It is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, but services are still occasionally held there. It was locked today.

Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have conducted the first search for atmospheres around temperate, Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system and found indications that increase the chances of habitability on two exoplanets.
Specifically, they discovered that the exoplanets TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, approximately 40 light-years away, are unlikely to have puffy, hydrogen-dominated atmospheres usually found on gaseous worlds.
“The lack of a smothering hydrogen-helium envelope increases the chances for habitability on these planets,” said team member Nikole Lewis of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore. “If they had a significant hydrogen-helium envelope, there is no chance that either one of them could potentially support life because the dense atmosphere would act like a greenhouse.”
Julien de Wit of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, led a team of scientists to observe the planets in near-infrared light using Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3. They used spectroscopy to decode the light and reveal clues to the chemical makeup of an atmosphere. While the content of the atmospheres is unknown and will have to await further observations, the low concentration of hydrogen and helium has scientists excited about the implications.
“These initial Hubble observations are a promising first step in learning more about these nearby worlds, whether they could be rocky like Earth, and whether they could sustain life,” says Geoff Yoder, acting associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “This is an exciting time for NASA and exoplanet research.”
The planets orbit a red dwarf star at least 500 million years old, in the constellation of Aquarius. They were discovered in late 2015 through a series of observations by the TRAnsiting Planets and PlanetesImals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST), a Belgian robotic telescope located at ESA’s (European Space Agency’s) La Silla Observatory in Chile.
TRAPPIST-1b completes a circuit around its red dwarf star in 1.5 days and TRAPPIST-1c in 2.4 days. The planets are between 20 and 100 times closer to their star than the Earth is to the sun. Because their star is so much fainter than our sun, researchers think that at least one of the planets, TRAPPIST-1c, may be within the star’s habitable zone, where moderate temperatures could allow for liquid water to pool.
On May 4, astronomers took advantage of a rare simultaneous transit, when both planets crossed the face of their star within minutes of each other, to measure starlight as it filtered through any existing atmosphere. This double-transit, which occurs only every two years, provided a combined signal that offered simultaneous indicators of the atmospheric characters of the planets.
The researchers hope to use Hubble to conduct follow-up observations to search for thinner atmospheres, composed of elements heavier than hydrogen, like those of Earth and Venus.
“With more data, we could perhaps detect methane or see water features in the atmospheres, which would give us estimates of the depth of the atmospheres,” said Hannah Wakeford, the paper’s second author, at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Observations from future telescopes, including NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, will help determine the full composition of these atmospheres and hunt for potential biosignatures, such as carbon dioxide and ozone, in addition to water vapor and methane. Webb also will analyze a planet’s temperature and surface pressure – key factors in assessing its habitability.
“These Earth-sized planets are the first worlds that astronomers can study in detail with current and planned telescopes to determine whether they are suitable for life,” said de Wit. “Hubble has the facility to play the central atmospheric pre-screening role to tell astronomers which of these Earth-sized planets are prime candidates for more detailed study with the Webb telescope.”
The results of the study appear in the July 20, 2016, issue of the journal Nature.

From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.
This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.
Colorful roses
2011: white and pink roses
2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .
Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering
Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock
What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.
Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.
1000 Tree roses
Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.
During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.
Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)
Plantings - Pests - Winter Care
Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).
Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).
In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.
Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.
Pest Control with Poison
The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).
They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.
Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

300 ambling roses
The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.
They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.
Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.
4 x/year fertilizing
4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.
Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.
In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).
Finishes in the Augarten
Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.
Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.
Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.
200 shrub roses
Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument
Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.
The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.
Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time
classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.
Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.
They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.
The Renner- Rose
The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.
It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner
When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.
Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.
Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz
He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.
In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.
High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.
Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?
The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".
After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.
Renner Rose is almost 100 years old
A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.
In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

The clearest sign that two people hold alienated views is that each says ironic things to the other, but neither of the two feels the other's irony.
- Friedrich Nietzsche, "Human, All Too Human"
--------------------------
Signe d'incompatibilité
L'indice le plus fort de l'incompatibilité de vue entre deux hommes est que tous deux se parlent réciproquement avec un peu d'ironie, mais que ni l'un ni l'autre ne sent cette ironie.
Indication: Prepare to stop at next signal. Train exceeding medium speed must at once reduce to that speed.
An indication of how much rain we have had recently; when we lit the fire this looked like solid ground, within five minutes it was slippery mud!
Indications of the levels a flood of a highly alkaline caustic sludge reached could be seen on the destroyed walls of a house in Kolontar, Hungary on October 7, 2010.
A sludge reservoir at a nearby factory burst its banks on October 4, 2010, unleashing a lethal flood on nearly 200 million gallons of red mud. The mud is a byproduct of the conversion of bauxite to alumina, for aluminium. Eight people were killed and more than 100 were injured.

The Carte de Visite
A carte de visite, on the back of which is printed:
'J. Jewell,
American Gem Photographer,
41, Grainger Street,
Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Also at
Market St. Manchester,
and
15, Parker Street, Liverpool
25, London Road, Liverpool
and
37, Jamaica Street, Glasgow.'
The photograph is tiny - it is only 2 centimetres tall and is framed by an oval cut out of the card.
There are no indications as to the identity of the lady, or the date of the photograph.
This sign is a good indication of how isolated the community of Meadowmere is. It's one of the very few places in Queens where the borough's standard hyphenated addresses are not used. And the street numbers (1st through 3rd) are an anomaly as well. Starting a century ago, a single massive, messy street grid was imposed on almost all of Queens, with the notable exception of the Rockaway Peninsula, which has an independently numbered set of streets. But there are still a couple of renegade pockets of the borough that have their own street numbers, and Meadowmere is one.
The street pictured above is one of three different First (or 1st) Streets in Queens. The one that belongs to the borough-wide grid is in western Astoria (map), and there is another in the almost-as-obscure-as-Meadowmere neighborhood of Ramblersville (map). Interestingly, while there's no Second or Third Street in Ramblersville, 102nd Street and 104th Street (and a handful of avenues/drives/roads) from the main Queens grid do manage to sneak in and mix it up with their low-numbered cousin.
The first indication that this bird was close by was a clicking sound. Some what like two sticks being knocked together. We found it tucked in under some branches, The guide edged the boat into a secure position and the only way to get a clear shot was by scrambling up to the tip of the boat. We left him as we found him - unperturbed by our close proximity as it kept a keen eye on the water.
There is absolutely no indication of this community other than the post office. And as you can see it sits "hidden" between the church and a swimming pool. And it is actually below the highway--I'm sitting in the highway. I passed it the first time through trying to find the post office.

During the general election campaign of 1885 in Ireland, Parnell emphasised the intention of his party to secure home rule and gave some indications of the sort of scheme he would accept. In May 1886, he supported Gladstone’s First Home Rule bill. Parnell’s speech in Cork on 21 January 1885 was probably the most famous and certainly the most widely quoted of his career. A phrase from it adorns his monument in Dublin. He called for land reform, the development of Irish manufacturing industry and a restoration of an Irish parliament along the lines of Grattan’s parliament.
Source. Cork Examiner, 22 January 1885.
"… At the election in 1880 I laid certain principles before you and you accepted them. I said and I pledged myself, that I should form one of an independent Irish party to act in opposition to every English government which refused to concede the just rights of Ireland. And the longer time which is gone by since then, the more I am convinced that that is the true policy to pursue so far as parliamentary policy is concerned, and that it will be impossible for either or both of the English parties to contend for any long time against a determine band of Irishmen acting honestly upon these principles, and backed by the Irish people.
But we have not alone had that object view—we have always been very careful not to fetter or control the people at home in any way, not to prevent them from doing anything by their own strength which it is possible for them to do. Sometimes, perhaps, in our anxiety in this direction we have asked them to do what is beyond their strength, but I hold that it is better even to encourage you to do what is beyond your strength even should you fail sometimes in the attempt than to teach you to be subservient and unreliant. You have been encouraged to organise yourselves, to depend upon the rectitude of your cause for your justification, and to depend upon the determination which has helped Irishmen through many centuries to retain the name of Ireland and to retain her nationhood.
Nobody could point to any single action of ours in the House of Commons or out of it which was not based upon the knowledge that behind us existed a strong and brave people, that without the help of the people our exertions would be as nothing, and that with their help and with their confidence we should be, as I believe we shall prove to be in the near future, invincible and unconquerable…
We shall struggle, as we have been struggling, for the great and important interests of the Irish tenant farmer. We shall ask that his industry shall not be fettered by rent. We shall ask also from the farmer in return that he shall do what in him lies to encourage the struggling manufactures of Ireland, and that he shall not think it too great a sacrifice to be called upon when he wants anything, when he has to purchase anything, to consider how he may get it of Irish material and manufacture, even supposing he has to pay a little more for it. I am sorry if the agricultural population has shown itself somewhat deficient in its sense of duty in this respect up to the present time, but I feel convinced that the matter has only to be put before them to secure the opening up of most important markets in this country for those manufactures which have always existed, and for those which have been reopened anew, as a consequence of the recent exhibitions, the great exhibition in Dublin and the other equally great one in Cork, which have been recently held.
We shall also endeavour to secure for the labourer some recognition and some right in the land of his country. We don’t care whether it be the prejudices of the farmer or of the landlord that stands in his way. We consider that whatever class tries to obstruct the labourer in the possession of those fair and just rights to which he is entitled, that class should be putdown, and coerced if you will, into doing justice to the labourer. …
Well, but gentlemen, I go back from the consideration of these questions to the Land Question, in which the labourers’ question is also involved and the manufacturers’ question. I come back—and every Irish politician must be forcibly driven back—to the consideration of the great question of National Self-Government for Ireland. I do not know how this great question will be eventually settled. I do not know whether England will be wise in time and concede to constitutional arguments and methods the restitution of that which was stolen from us towards the close of the last century. It is given to none of us to forecast the future, and just as it is impossible for us to say in what way or by what means the National question may be settled, in what way full justice may be done to Ireland, so it is impossible for us to say to what extent that justice should be done. We cannot ask for less than restitution of Grattan’s Parliament. But no man has the right to fix the boundary to the march of a nation. No man has a right to say to his country: ‘Thus far shalt thou go, and no further’; and we have never attempted to fix the ne plus ultra to the progress of Ireland's nationhood, and we never shall.
But gentlemen, while we leave those things to time, circumstances, and the future, we must each one of us resolve in our own hearts that we shall at all times do everything which within us lies to obtain for Ireland the fullest measure of her rights. In this way we shall avoid difficulties and contentions amongst each other. In this way we shall not give up anything which the future may put in favour of our country, and while we struggle today for that which may seem possible for us with our combination, we must struggle for it with the proud consciousness, and that we shall not do anything to hinder or prevent better men who may come after us from gaining better things than those for which we now contend."

Opposed to relatively recent, primarily Western classification of the physical as something to be ‘tamed’ or ‘controlled’ body/art could be shown as observance of inherent physiological potential alongside subjective description. Aside from long established use in tribal affiliations, rights of passage and clear indications of specific cultural participation the conscious non-adherence to modern social coding standards as displayed by the body reflects an underlying spirit of self-expression through modification. Roots of contemporary prejudice against and indeed novelization of practices may be partially traced back to no more than historically narrow, single ideological obedience. However with this the concept of narcissism must be acknowledged, which will be explored in upcoming entries
| ‘The intuitive spirituality of the body and a spirituality that encompasses physical reality as well as unseen psychic energies, although based in ancient practices and beliefs, are gradually entering mainstream thought of the 1990s. The history of body alteration and the nuances of its various cultural and spiritual meanings would comprise a lifetime of research, but a brief introduction is essential to understanding contemporary shifts in attitude toward body alteration. During the Western peregrination toward modernity, ornamental and religious body marking and alteration became associated with pagan barbarism according to the European world view that dichotomized spirit and flesh and sought out reasons to degrade unfamiliar and colonized cultures. Ancient Egyptian culture located spirituality in physical existence, but by the time of Greek civilization the body was considered an inferior manifestation of a more noble and abstract perfect body.
Augustine furthered a schism between man’s physical and spiritual existence as he preached the sinfulness of sexual desire and the need to discipline the body. His influence extended through the middle ages and Anglo-European Christian culture began to see bodies as “interchangeable” and “non-essential” to man’s spiritual growth. Acceptance of magical and symbolic use of the body declined. Medieval practices of venerating relics—the preserved body parts of saints and mystics—faded. Physical existence became something to be conquered in order to transcend one’s humanness and become spiritual. Once the body and its desires were discarded, pure spirit could be achieved. Medieval saints who practiced chastity and ascetic activities that punished the body believed they were renouncing the body rather than enlisting it in the journey toward mystical union with God. This is in direct contrast to religious practices that consciously train the body to enter altered states and consider integrating body and mind an essential element of religious ecstasy.
Indian Tantrism, for example, rebels against the dualism that proposes asceticism as the path to enlightenment. The Tantric claim that bodily pleasure and spiritual reality coexist creates paths to enlightenment accessible to individuals not ordinarily credited with spiritual capabilities. As one of the Tantras explains, “Ananda (the mind-expanding bliss that is the essence of Reality and Self) is the form of the Brahman (the transcendental Self) and that Ananda is installed in the body.” By validating the body as a spiritual temple necessary to attain enlightenment in a single lifetime, Tantric teachings during the eighth through twelfth centuries encouraged anyone from any social class to strive for spiritual knowledge. The Tantric philosophy of embracing sexual desires and pleasure as a method of obtaining divine communion was, and remains, controversial. Likewise, the medieval mystics caused consternation in the church when they claimed to experience the bliss of divine union without the aid of scripture or church authorities by fasting and flagellating themselves. While the saints may not have known they were democratizing spiritual bliss, the Catholic church probably did. This was probably the basis for Catholic castigation of many of the ascetic women mystics for their extreme and unauthorized practices… | continue

The Forty-ninth Session of WIPO's Standing Committee on the Law of Trademarks, Industrial Designs and Geographical Indications (SCT) took place in Geneva from March 30 to April 2, 2026 in hybrid form – with delegates and observers attending physically in Geneva, Switzerland, and via remote participation from around the world.

Here's what I'd written up in my description for this photo (until today).: "No indication who this stylish silver guy with the slicked-back hair is on this monument. (The anonymity is part of its charm.) I suspect this is an educational institution and he's a graduate, ready to take on the world with his book, outfit, hairdo, and determined expression. I passed this bldg. walking into town having just hitched in from Mir. See it (from behind and above) in the image in google maps in the 2nd last link above. (The convex bit faces north.)"
Update: Nope. This is a young Lenin (I shoulda guessed), and the bldg. had been a courthouse and was used as part of an internment or concentration camp for local Jews from at least Aug. 1942 to Sept. 26, 1943. I've just learned of the existence of the Jewish Resistance museum in former barracks just to the left of this courthouse on the site of what had been a Nazi-run concentration camp (I think. It's referred to as a 'ghetto' in the video in the next link below, but appears to be a small camp to me.) The museum opened its doors in 2007, 2 yr.s before I passed by, which I guess would explain why it wasn't in the Bradt guide that I had at the time. A vintage photo of the courthouse is shown and the bldg. is discussed from the 21:05 min. pt. in the virtual-tour video in the next link; a model of the camp or ghetto is seen at the 23:30 min. pt. (and can be seen in the google maps photo in the last link above), and is unmistakable. It was filled with workshops where the prisoners were put to work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiuGHzxJaFg
- From a plaque in the museum captured in a video that's now off-line: "Workshops and stables of the courthouse were used as barracks for the ghetto inmates from Aug. 1942. More than 500 people lived here. Close to 300 prisoners, mainly women and children, became victims of the 4th massacre on May 7, 1943."
- The famous Kushner family hailed from Navahrudak. Photos of Jared's great-grandparents are on display in the museum, and according to the article in the next link, his grandmother Rae was born here and it was here that his great-grandmother and great-aunt were murdered by the Nazis.: lareviewofbooks.org/article/navahrudaks-native-sons-a-rep...
"During World War II, Rae, her father, and 3 siblings were held in the town’s small Jewish ghetto [here], where they helped dig a 600-foot earthen tunnel through which they and about 170 local Jews escaped the same fate. They fled into the nearby Naliboki forest where they were taken in by a group of partisans, one of whom, Yosl Berkovitz, later married Rae and became Joseph Kushner, taking his bride’s more prominent surname. Rae’s brother, Chanon, was killed during their flight; Charlie Kushner, Jared’s father, was named after him, and has made regular pilgrimages to this small Belarusian hamlet for three decades. ... The Kushners’ remarkable escape is also depicted in 'Defiance', a 2008 motion picture about the Bielski partisans starring Daniel Craig." www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP0CXXWogIM
- Here's a clip or a trailer from a documentary re the search for and excavation of the tunnel.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSmZlLvv1vU
- Scenes and photos from Nahahrudak filmed and taken in 1918 and 1931 (with an intense sdtrk.), the synagogue is seen at the 1:33 min. pt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pohHdCPEDes
- "During Mickiewicz’s time, Jews made up over 50 % of the local population, and Muslim Tatars composed another 20 %. “It was a kind of Jerusalem,” Vershitskaya [a local] says. In her mind, Navahrudak is notable for being a place where Muslims, Orthodox Christians, and Jews long coexisted, a thoroughfare for marauding armies and tradesmen, a place accustomed to shifting borders and the close presence of foreigners. The Belarusian city has, over the centuries, belonged to Lithuania, Poland, and the Soviet Union. ... The city center was bombed 4 times during the war; the synagogues and Jewish prayer houses were destroyed, but the town’s mosque and several churches still stand. Of the city’s prewar population of 6,000 Jews, @ 5 remain."
- Now this from the same article: "A silver stone bust of a young Lenin marks the entrance to the site where the Kushners were once imprisoned. Behind it stands the hulking white former courthouse, where the town’s Jewish residents were imprisoned. Around the corner, in the old barracks, is Vershitskaya’s three-room museum. ... A few years ago, survivors of the Navahrudak ghetto returned to help find the remains of the escape tunnel, uncovering a few of its decaying wooden walls beside the trade school’s garage for disused tractor trailers. Charlie Kushner has donated $36,000 to support the museum and pledged another $44,000 toward a project to preserve their findings and to build a memorial dedicated to those who were interned in the Navahrudak ghetto."

- Update March 2024: Nope, Jared Kushner does NOT sound like a nice guy. In a recent interview at Harvard (on Feb. 15) he "praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s “waterfront property” and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it “cleans up” the strip. ... Asked by Masoud about fears on the part of Arabs in the region that the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, would not allow Palestinians who flee Gaza to return, Kushner paused and then said: “Maybe. I am not sure there is much left of Gaza at this point. If you think about even the construct, Gaza was not really a historical precedent [sic]. It was the result of a war. You had tribes in different places and then Gaza became a thing. ..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/jared-kushner-gaz...
