Hội An is a city of Vietnam, on the coast of the South China Sea in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. It is located in Quảng Nam Province and is home to approximately 120,000 inhabitants. It is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Hội An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.The city possessed the largest harbour in Southeast Asia in the 1st century and was known as Lâm Ấp Phố (Champa City). Between the seventh and 10th centuries, the Cham (people of Champa) controlled the strategic spice trade and with this came tremendous wealth. The former harbour town of the Cham at the estuary of the Thu Bồn River was an important Vietnamese trading centre in the 16th and 17th centuries, where Chinese from various provinces as well as Japanese, Dutch and Indians settled. During this period of the China trade, the town was called Hai Pho (Seaside Town) in Vietnamese. Originally, Hai Pho was a divided town with the Japanese settlement across the "Japanese Bridge" (16th-17th century). The bridge (Chùa cầu) is a unique covered structure built by the Japanese, the only known covered bridge with a Buddhist temple attached to one side.
ETYMOLOGY
Hội An translates as "peaceful meeting place". In English and other European languages, the town was known historically as Faifo. This word is derived from Vietnamese Hội An phố (the town of Hội An), which was shortened to "Hoi-pho", and then to "Faifo".
HISTORY
The early history of Hội An is that of the Cham. These Austronesian-speaking Malayo-Polynesian peoples created the Champa Empire which occupied much of what is now central and lower Vietnam, from Huế to beyond Nha Trang. Various linguistic connections between Cham and the related Jarai language and the Austronesian languages of Indonesia (particularly Acehnese), Malaya, Cambodia and Hainan has been documented. In the early years, Mỹ Sơn was the spiritual capital, Trà Kiệu was the political capital and Hội An was the commercial capital of the Champa Empire - later, by the 14th century, the Cham moved further down towards Nha Trang. The river system was the transportation for goods between the highlands, inland countries of Laos and Thailand and the low lands.In 1535 Portuguese explorer and sea captain António de Faria, coming from Đà Nẵng, tried to establish a major trading center at the port village of Faifo. Hội An was founded as a trading port by the Nguyễn Lord Nguyễn Hoàng sometime around 1595. The Nguyễn lords were far more interested in commercial activity than the Trịnh lords who ruled the north. As a result, Hội An flourished as a trading port and became the most important trade port on the South China Sea. Captain William Adams, the English sailor and confidant of Tokugawa Ieyasu, is known to have made at least one trading mission to Hội An (around 1619). The early Portuguese Jesuits also had one of their two residences at Hội An.
In the 18th century, Hội An was considered by Chinese and Japanese merchants to be the best destination for trading in all of Southeast Asia, even Asia. Japanese believed the heart of all of Asia (the dragon) lay beneath the earth of Hội An. The city also rose to prominence as a powerful and exclusive trade conduit between Europe, China, India, and Japan, especially for the ceramic industry. Shipwreck discoveries have shown that Vietnamese and Asian ceramics were transported from Hội An to as far as Sinai, Egypt.Hội An's importance waned sharply at the end of the 18th century because of the collapse of Nguyễn rule (thanks to the Tây Sơn Rebellion - which was opposed to foreign trade).
Then, with the triumph of Emperor Gia Long, he repaid the French for their aid by giving them exclusive trade rights to the nearby port town of Đà Nẵng. Đà Nẵng became the new center of trade (and later French influence) in central Vietnam while Hội An was a forgotten backwater. Local historians also say that Hội An lost its status as a desirable trade port due to silting up of the river mouth. The result was that Hội An remained almost untouched by the changes to Vietnam over the next 200 years.
Today, the town is a tourist attraction because of its history, traditional architecture and crafts such as textiles and ceramics. Many bars, hotels, and resorts have been constructed both in Hội An and the surrounding area. The port mouth and boats are still used for both fishing and tourism.
WEATHER
Calm mild weather is now limited to the season of May/June - end of August when the seas are calm and wind changes direction and comes from the South. The remainder of the year the weather is intermittent between rain & cold and hot & mild. Popular activities such as visiting offshore Cù lao Chàm islands are only guaranteed to be likely during the short season of end of May to end of August, which is the high season for domestic tourism.
HERITAGE AND TOURISM
In 1999, the old town was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port of the 15th to 19th centuries, with buildings that display a unique blend of local and foreign influences. According to the UNESCO Impact Report 2008 on Hội An, tourism has bought changes to the area which are not sustainable without mitigation. Due to the increased number of tourists visiting Hoi An a variety of activities are emerging which allow guests to get out of the old quarter and explore by motorbike, bicycle, Kayak or motorboat. The Thu Bon River is still essential to the region more than 500 years after António de Faria first navigated it and it remains an essential form of food production and transport. As such kayak and motorboat rides are becoming an increasingly popular tourist activity.
MUSEUM
The city has four museums highlighting the history of the region. These museums are managed by the Hoi An Center for Cultural Heritage Management and Preservation. Entrance to the museum is permitted with a Hoi An Entrance Ticket.
The Museum of History and Culture, at 13 Nguyen Hue St, was originally a pagoda, built in the 17th century by Minh Huong villagers to worship the Quan An, and is adjacent to the Quan Cong temple. It contains original relics from the Sa Huynh, Champa, Dai Viet and Dai Nam periods, tracing the history of Hoi An's inhabitants from its earliest settlers through to French colonial times.
The Hoi An Folklore Museum, at 33 Nguyen Thai Hoc St, was opened in 2005, and is the largest two-storey wooden building in the old town, at 57m long and 9m wide, with fronts at Nguyen Thai Hoc St and Bach Dang St. On the second floor, there are 490 artifacts, organised into four areas: plastic folk arts, performing folk arts, traditional occupations and artefacts related to the daily life of Hoi An residents.
The Museum of Trade Ceramics is located at 80 Tran Phu St, and was established in 1995, in a restored wooden building, originally built around 1858. The items originating from Persia, China, Thailand, India and other countries are proof of the importance of Hội An as a major trading port in South East Asia.
The Museum of Sa Huỳnh Culture, is located at 149 Tran Phu St. Established in 1994, this museum displays a collection of over 200 artifacts from the Sa Huỳnh culture - considered to be the original settlers on the Hội An site - dating to over 2000 years ago. This museum is considered to be the most unique collection of Sa Huỳnh artefacts in Vietnam.

The Progon family (Albanian: Progoni) established the first Albanian state, the Principality of Arbër, which fell under the influence of the Byzantine Empire, the Despotate of Epirus and the Serbian Kingdom. Progon, the founder, held the title of archon (lord), while one of his sons, Dimitri, held the title of panhypersebastos. The family enjoyed a considerable degree of autonomy.
The family disappears in sources after 1216, following the death of Dimitri.
Dimitri Progoni was the third and the last Prince of the Albanians of the Progon family, reigning from 1208 to 1216. He ruled the mountain stronghold at Kruja (Arbanon), succeeding his older brother Gjin, and he managed to bring Arbanon to its maximum. Dimitri ruled in the alliances of the Republic of Ragusa, Venice and Serbian Kingdom; he married Komnena, the daughter of Stefan Nemanjić. He was later turned against Venice.
According to some, Progon's realm was the first Albanian state during the Middle Ages. Little is known about archon Progon who was the first ruler of Kruja and its surroundings, between 1190 and 1198. The Kruja fortress stayed in the possession of the Progon family, and Progon was succeeded by his sons Gjin, and later Dimitri.[11] Before 1204, Arbanon was an autonomous principality of the Byzantine Empire. The titles archon (held by Progon) and panhypersebastos (held by Dimitri) is a sign of Byzantine dependence.
Family, and titles
Dimitri, the son of Progon of Kruja, was the third and last lord of the Progon family, reigning between 1208 and 1216. He succeeded his brother Gjin and brought the principality to its climax. Contemporary Western sources attribute the titles judex ("judge") and princeps Arbanorum ("prince of the Albanians") to him, while Byzantine records refer to him as megas archon ("grand lord").
Alliances and conflicts
In 1208, Dimitri married Komnena Nemanjić, the daughter of Serbian Grand Prince, later King Stefan Nemanjić (r. 1196–1228).[3][15][16] This resulted in an alliance, and vassalage to Serbia amidst conflicts with the Republic of Venice.
At the same time, George Nemanjić, in Zeta, allied himself with Venice. The struggle between the two Nemanjić branches (between Vukan and Stefan) continued under George.[5] The Gëziq inscription mention the Progon family as judices, and notes their dependence to Mladen and George. George promised military support if Dimitri would attack Venetian territory, in a treaty signed on 3 July 1208. The alliance and conflict may have been related to the Rascian-Zetan struggle, for Dimitri had close ties with Serbia, having married Komnena Nemanjić, the daughter of Stefan. By 1212, the Venetians had left Arbanon, abandoning it to Michael Angelos, in circumstances that remain uncertain. Arbanon remained to its traditional fidelites, Byzantine and Serbian, Orthodox; when Dimitri died, Gregory Kamonas succeeded in ruling Arbanon, and took Komnena as his second wife; ties were strengthened with Serbia, with which ties had been weakened by a Serbian attack on Scutari following the collapse of the Venetian duchy of Durazzo.
In search for allies, Dimitri signed a treaty with the Republic of Ragusa in 1209 and began negotiations with Pope Innocent III regarding his and his subjects’ conversion to Catholicism. This is considered a tactful move, which Dimitri undertook to establish ties with Western Europe against Venice. The friendship with the pope was of short duration, and soon turned into ill-feeling.
Dimtri's closest ally was an archon named Dhimiter Gaba III.
Death and aftermath
After Dimitri died in 1215, the power was left to Komnena, who soon married Greek-Albanian Gregory Kamonas, who took power of Kruja, strengthening relations with Serbia, which had been weakened after a Serbian assault on Scutari. Arbanon remained to its traditional fidelites, Byzantine and Serbian, Orthodox. Komnena had a daughter with Kamonas that married Golem.
Pipa and Repishti conclude that Arbanon was the first sketch of an "Albanian state", and that it retained semi-autonomous status as the western extremity of an empire (under the Doukai of Epirus or the Laskarids of Nicaea).

The footbridge and platform of Central Station, in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, taken in late 2005 when the old goods yard (to the right of this shot0 was still occupied by Gainsborough Steel Stockists.
The station was opened on July 17th, 1849 by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway. The chief engineer (not the architect for the station) was Denzil Ibbotsen, a man who had considerable influence on the Town. A fine engineer and draftsman, he produced a marvelous detailed map of the town. He also undertook the restoration of The Great Hall of Gainsborough's medieval Old Hall. The original wooden corbels that supported the massive oak beams were begining to split and give way, and the future of the roof looked in question. (A corbel is a kind of bracket projecting into a building to support a roof truss). Ibbotsen took one down, and had a set of corbels moulded from it's pattern in Cast Iron, the material of the steam age. These were put in place of the old wooden corbels and are there supporting the roof to this day. On the downside, Ibbotsen did remove the minstrel's gallery and screen that stood at the western end of the great hall - partially to free up space in the hall.
The MS&LR changed it's name into the Great Central Railway in 1897 to reflect it's growing size (it extended into London in 1899), and around 1910 the goods yard in front of the magnificent pillared portico station entrance was extended, necessitating the construction of a subway entrance. Grouping of the railways ment that on January 1 1923 this became a station of the London & North Eastern Railway, and at that time was still very much Gainsborough's principal station, with passenger trains running between Grimsby & Sheffield passing through and on to the wider network throughout the day. There was also an extensive parcels service, and much fish traffic from the Grimsby docks. The adjacent Marshall's works had it's own sidings and internal lines generating considerable frieght traffic, both in and out. Around the time of the Second World War the station's trainshed was taken down - perhaps to help with the war effort drive for steel - and was later replaced by a set of conventional canopies. Around the same time the platforms were extended at their Northern ends to accomodate longer trains - you can see evidence of this to this day, where the original brick-edged platform gives way to pre-cast concrete edging.
Traffic began to decline during the 1960s, and in about 1962 the Station lost it's Station Master and the British Railways Board (who took over the UK railway system, including this staion on January 1 1948) took the decision that to save paying rates on a domestic property, the two staion houses - one either end of the station building - should be demolished.
Worse was to come, and in 1974 the station became an unmanned station, and the buildings were all demolished in early 1977. All that remained of the 1849 buildings were the standard MS&LR pattern footbridge (and even it had it's covering removed, mainly because that had been supported by the station building), and the platforms. Passenger accomodation was (and still is) in the form of a "bus shelter" type structure, one on each platform. One of the two signal boxes remain - the nearby ground frame box was redundant from the early 1960s and demolished at the end of the 1970s.
So the station remained in a derelict state from 1977 onwards - and freight traffic declined to almost nothing, whilst passenger movements were restricted to three trains (Saturdays only) by the late 1990s.
Recently there has been a modest revival: frieght - mainly EWS coal trains are now much more frequent, and the station now has a huge new car park as a part of the "Marshall's Yard" shopping development sited in the area that the Steel Stockists had used. There is a new housing development being contructed on the site of the old goods yard (though this seems to have hit a "credit crunch" delay), and local Councils are campaigning for an improved passenger service. The future for Central is probably brighter than it has been since about 1965, but how the powers that be must regret the demolition of the station, especially that magnificent stone-built entrance

23138 Skyline view, 1 Middlebrook Ave., Staunton, Staunton City, VA. May 21, 2018. Decimal degrees: 38.147383, -79.072783
“1 Freight Depot
This long structure made of brick dates from the 1870s and predates the rest of the present train station complex. As freight came into the depot, much of it was wheeled on wooden planks across the street (Middlebrook Avenue) to be stored in the upper floors of the neighboring warehouses.
2 Staunton Train Station 1902
The C & O Depot is an unusual design reflecting classical forms and elements in its ached windows and long concourse with its iron Tuscan columns. The influence of the bungalow style can be seen in the horizonal lines of the building along with the deep eaves and brackets. The local architectural firm of T.J. Collins & Son designed the station, which is the third one on this site.
3 The American Hotel 1855
When built by the railroad in the 1850s in the Greek Revival style, the American Hotel was the last word in luxury until converted into a warehouse. The Stonewall Brigade Band serenaded U.S. President and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant from here in 1874 when their train passed through Staunton.
4 The Wharf
When the Virginia Central Railroad was constructed in 1854, it changed Staunton from a rural village into a booming center of commerce. By the turn of the 20th century, warehouses were built around the train depot supplying everything from fresh produce, feed and seed, to wagons and harnesses. This area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
5 Trinity Episcopal Church 1855
The first August a Parish Church was built on this site in 1763. The present church is a five example of early Gothic Revival architecture and was designed by British architect J.W. Johns who also designed the chapel at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria. Trinity Church boasts a valuable collection of 12 Tiffany Studio stained glass windows.
6 Stuart Hall School 1846
Edwin M. Taylor designed Stuart Hall’s Greek Revival ‘Old Main’ when it was known as the Virginia Female Institute. It was renamed in 1907 to honor headmistress Mrs. J.E.B. Stuart, the Civil War general’s widow. It is now a co-educational private boarding and day school.
7 Central United Methodist Church
Organized in 1797 in Staunton, this is the oldest continuous Methodist congregation in the area. Blacksmith, Sampson Eagon began preaching on what has since become known as Gospel Hill on the corner of Easy Beverley and North Coalter streets. The present church dates from 1892 and is the fourth church on the site. Its façade was remodeled in 1915 from designs by the local architectural firm T.J. Collins & Son.
8 Second Presbyterian Church
In 1875, 13 members of the First Presbyterian Church organized this congregation and a brick structure was built on this site the following year. In 1902, construction was completed on the second structure but it suffered an extensive fire in 1946. After remodeling, it retains much of its original Gothic …
9 Faith Lutheran Church
This church dates from the late 19th century but its façade was completely remodeled in 1961 in the Neo-colonial style by the late Milton Grigg, the Charlottesville architect who was one of the architects that worked on the early restoration of Colonial Williamsburg.
10 Clock Tower & YMCA 1890
This downtown landmark with its ornate brickwork and clock tower was originally the YMCA and contained an auditorium, bowling alley, gym, running track and library. While the building has been converted into apartments, the city continues to provide annual maintenance on the town clock. An earlier clock was located in the steeple of a previous church on the same site.
11 Masonic Temple 1896
This imposing structure has dominated the Staunton skyline since its completion. Chicago architect I.E.A. Rose’s design mixes classical and medieval elements in its massive façade. A previous temple on this site was designed by Thomas Blackburn, who worked with carpenter on the construction of the University of Virginia under Thomas Jefferson’s direction. The Masonic Order was chartered Staunton in 1786.
12 St. Francis Catholic Church 1895
This imposing Gothic Revival church, based on English country examples, was designed in 1895 by T.J. Collins. It replaced an earlier Catholic church in 1851. The exterior is clad in Vermont granite (replacing an earlier failing green serpentine stone) and has contrasting elements of Indiana and Virginia …
13 Augusta County Courthouse 1901
Located in the heart of downtown, this T.J. Collins classically designed courthouse is the fifth one to occupy this site. In 1745, a crude Log structure built here served as the first county courthouse when Augusta County extended to the Mississippi River. The current courthouse replaced a Greek Revival-styled structure designed by Thomas Blackburn.
14 Mary Baldwin College 1842
Rev. Rufus Bailey founded the Augusta Female Seminary in 1842. Two years later the original Greek Revival-styled structure was built to house the growing school. The seminary was renamed in 1895 to honor principal Mary Julia Baldwin. The classically – styled campus on its terraced hillside site remains a visually striking element in Staunton’s skyline.
15 First Presbyterian Church 1972
Staunton’s Presbyterian congregation was organized in 1894 but did not build its first church until 1818 next to the present Mary Baldwin College. The minister in the 1850s was John Ruggles Wilson, the father of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson who was born in the manse nearby, which is now a presidential library and museum. The present church was designed in the Romanesque Revival style with its round arches and tall spire. The architect was Major Thomas H. Williamson, a professor of engineering from Virginia Military Institute.
16. Stonewall Jackson Hotel 1924
This early 20th-century hotel, designed by H.L. Stevans & Co. of New York, cost $750,000 when built and is designed in the neo-classical revival style…. Landmark, the restored neon sign that dates from the 1950s. The hotel had been carefully restored and a new conference center wing added to the original building.
Special Note: For those individuals who would like to explore Staunton’s historic architecture further, there is a self-guided walking tour brochure developed by Historic Staunton Foundation. The tour extends through five of Staunton’s historic districts. It is available at the Staunton Visitor Center in the New Street Parking Garage.”

Alien She
Sep 3, 2015 â Jan 9, 2016
Alien She, curated by Astria Suparak + Ceci Moss, is the first exhibition to examine the lasting impact of Riot Grrrl on artists and cultural producers working today. A pioneering punk feminist movement that emerged in the early 1990s, Riot Grrrl has had a pivotal influence, inspiring many around the world to pursue socially and politically progressive careers as artists, activists, authors and educators. Emphasizing female and youth empowerment, collaborative organization, creative resistance and DIY ethics, Riot Grrrl helped a new generation to become active feminists and create their own culture and communities that reflect their values and experiences, in contrast to mainstream conventions and expectations.
Riot Grrrl formed in reaction to pervasive and violent sexism, racism and homophobia in the punk music scene and in the culture at large. Its participants adapted strategies from earlier queer and punk feminisms and â70s radical politics, while also popularizing discussions of identity politics occurring within academia, but in a language that spoke to a younger generation. This self-organized network made up of teenagers and twenty-somethings reached one another through various platforms, such as letters, zines, local meetings, regional conferences, homemade videos, and later, chat rooms, listservs and message boards. The movement eventually spread worldwide, with chapters opening in at least thirty-two states and twenty-six countries.* Its ethos and aesthetics have survived well past its initial period in the â90s, with many new chapters forming in recent years. Riot Grrrlâs influence on contemporary global culture is increasingly evident â from the Russian collective Pussy Riotâs protest against corrupt government-church relations to the popular teen website Rookie and the launch of Girls Rock Camps and Ladyfest music and art festivals around the world.

Bold colors with a Mexican influence were used in this dining room. Notice the tray ceiling here too. Which has lighting throughout the perimeter of the tray for accent as well. See the view to the lake? It certainly is a great place to enjoy a day in Northern Wisconsin!

Chancellor Merkel in EP: EU needs more democratic legitimacy and control
A more democratic European Union and more influence for the European Parliament were some of the demands formulated by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her speech in the Parliament in Brussels on Wednesday. MEPs criticised her demand that parliamentary decisions regarding the Eurozone should only by taken by MEPs from Eurozone countries.

I made this card for the MMM-challenge. Theme was the bright colours. It was actually quite difficult topic for me, because I don`t usually use bright colours so much. So that`s why I was little bit surprised that i got this idea so fast :)
And sorry about bad scanning - card is triangle, but scanner ate some part of it :)

Painted timber, polished chrome, mechanical elements, liquid dispenser, paddling pool
As current artist in residence at Manchester School of Art I am exploring the human impact on the natural world in response to the evolutionary phenomena of the Peppered Moth at the beginning of the nineteenth century.
The work draws influence from the effects of the industrial revolution on the pigment mutation in the Peppered Moth. The mechanical device excretes black sludge at regular intervals into the paddling pool below. Questioning the potential future impact of contemporary living on the environment.

Will Ferrell in Sydney for 'The Campaign' red carpet event at Fox Studios
Plot...
In order to gain influence over their North Carolina district, two CEOs seize an opportunity to oust long-term congressman Cam Brady by putting up a rival candidate. Their man: naive Marty Huggins, director of the local Tourism Center.
Tonight 'The Campaign' enjoyed it's Sydney, Australia premiere at Entertainment Quarter - Fox Studios, Moore Park, Sydney.
'The Campaign', about two rival politicians who will stop at nothing to get elected, is directed by Jay Roach, the man behind comedies Austin Powers and Borat, as well as more serious political efforts The Recount and last year's Sarah Palin biopic Game Change.
Even though Ferrell had become known for his impressions of George W. Bush on Saturday Night Live over the years, and his 2009 Broadway show You're Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush - he says the former US president didn't influence his character in The Campaign, the venal, preening Cam Brady.
"We stole some things from actual political candidates and their behaviour but I don't know if that really informed this," he says. "The hair is really a tribute to John Edwards - he had the most beautiful hair in politics."
With 'The Campaign' campaign just about behind them, Ferrell and Galifianakis will go their separate ways. The Hangover Part III starts shooting in September, and although Galifianakis hasn't had a chance yet to look over the most recent iteration of the script, he thinks he and Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and company will be doing this one in Mexico. "Maybe. I think."
Meanwhile, Ferrell and his frequent writing and directing partner, Adam McKay, are readying their own sequel, Anchorman 2. Yes, after a long, long hiatus (the original was released in 2004), Ron Burgundy returns. They'll shoot early next year, when Steve Carell and Paul Rudd are available to reprise their roles.
"We're working on the script now," Ferrell reports. "Adam and I were philosophically just always resistant to the sequel thing. There are all these original ideas out there, but then you watch people make sequels and it seems like they're having a good time. So we caved."
"I'm looking forward to being in Anchorman 2," Galifianakis chimes in. "I got your text about being in it, thank you. . . . And I'm the lead?"
"That was a mistake," Ferrell says. "I was sending that to Zac Efron, and somehow it got sent to you."
"Is he nice?" says Galifianakis.
"He's great," Ferrell says.
The Campaign opens on August 9.
