Actor and stage director Joan Remmelts (1905 - 1987) was an ironic and smart star on the Dutch stage. With small, nervous movements and expressions he could show deep emotions. He also appeared successfully in several films and TV series.
Jan van Ees (1896 - 1966) was a popular Dutch actor and author of several stage plays. He was one of the title characters of De Jantjes/The Tars (1934) and starred in four more Dutch films of the 1930s.
Johan Kaart jr. (1897 - 1976) was a star in the Dutch entertainment world. He starred in seven films between 1934 and 1937, and after the war, he played in several other Dutch films. He also worked often on radio and TV, but his main stage was the theatre.
Handsome Willy Costello (1910 - 1953) was a typical example of single luck. Before De Jantjes he had played bit roles in French sound films. After his big turn as the lead actor in De Jantjes he tried his luck in Hollywood, but again he had to play uncredited parts in mediocre films or bigger parts in B-films.
Dutch variety artist and comedian HenriĂ«tte - Heintje - Davids (1888 - 1975) was a popular star in many films of the 1930s. She was the sister of legendary Dutch actor/singer Louis Davids, and she kept performing on stage and on TV till the late 1960s, often announcing that thĂs was her farewell performance.
Another popular star in many Dutch films of the 1930’s was singer and actor Sylvain Poons (1895-1986). He sang two duets which became evergreens: Omdat ik zoveel van je hou (Because I Love You So Much) with Heintje Davids, and the sad fisher ballad De Zuiderzeeballade (Ballad of the Zuiderzee) which he sang in 1958 with the then 14 year old Oetze Verschoor.

----
Frontman Kyle Dukes van NiCad, een internationale rockband met als basis Den Haag, gaat helemaal op in de muziek tijdens een optreden in De Zwarte Ruiter tijdens het Walk the Line festival 2010.
Het Walk the Line festival is een nieuw muziekevenement van de organisatie achter Crossing Border, dat voor het eerst op 14 en 15 mei 2010 in de Haagse binnenstad werd gehouden. Meer dan veertig (inter)nationale bands die beloftevol zijn, klaar staan om door te breken of een hype veroorzaken in hun thuisland zijn met zorg bij elkaar gebracht in een tweedaags showcase programma, verspreid over vijf podia: Paard van Troje, Lutherse Kerk, de Supermarkt en De Zwarte Ruiter op de Grote Markt.
Sometimes it happens in an instance. We step up, we see a path forward. We see a path and we take it. Even when we have no idea where we're going. - Meredith Grey

Ballycorus Lead Mines Chimney, Carrickgollogan Hill, Dublin, Ireland.
Ballycorus (Irish: Baile Mhic Fheorais, meaning "Town of the Pearse Family") leadmines is a former lead mining and smelting centre located in the townland of the same name, near Kilternan in County Dublin, Ireland. The mine opened around 1807 and was taken over by the Mining Company of Ireland (MCI) in 1826 who owned and operated the site up until closure in 1913. After the mine was exhausted in the 1860s, Ballycorus continued to operate as a smelting facility receiving ore from other MCI sites such as the mines in Glendalough, County Wicklow.[Wikipedia]
There are very impressive views over Dublin.
This was my first trip to the Lead Miners in a few years. Being enthusiastic I parked my Car on Lehaunstown Lane near the Luas stop. I then walked to the Lead Mines by road and forest path, which took around an hour each way.
This fridge was plugged in and in use .... would you be comfortable touching this metal item knowing this was at the back of it?

after the visit i could actually TASTE lead (plumbum) in my mouth. Needless to say that workers out there have more of
this heavy metal in their bodies.

Rod Cameron (1910-1983) was a Canadian-born film and television actor whose career extended from the 1930s to the 1970s. He appeared in Horror, War, Action and Science Fiction films, but is best remembered for his many Westerns.
Rod Cameron was born Nathan Roderick Cox in Calgary, Canada, in 1910. He grew up in New Jersey. He played on his high school basketball team and on a semi-professional football team. Despite those activities and others such as swimming and playing ice hockey, he couldn't join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police because he failed the physical examination. He decided to seek fame and fortune as an actor in New York and initially grabbed some work as a labourer on the Holland Tunnel project in Manhattan. When no progress was made acting-wise, Cameron moved to Hollywood. He made his "debut" in an unbilled bit in one of Bette Davis' scenes in The Old Maid (Edmund Goulding, 1939). Upon release, however, he discovered his bit in the scene had been deleted. He worked as a stuntman and bit player for Paramount Pictures as well as a stand-in for such stars as Fred MacMurray. His early films include Heritage of the Desert (Lesley Selander, 1939) with Donald Woods, Rangers of Fortune (Sam Wood, 1940) with Fred MacMurray, North West Mounted Police (Cecil B. DeMille, 1940) starring Gary Cooper, and Henry Aldrich for President (Hugh Bennett, 1941) with Jimmy Lydon. He also played bit roles at Universal Pictures, including in If I Had My Way (David Butler, 1940), starring Bing Crosby and Gloria Jean. He appeared in a Horror film, The Monster and the Girl (Stuart Heisler, 1941) and played Jesse James in The Remarkable Andrew (Stuart Heisler, 1941) for Paramount. In 1943, Cameron gained star status in action serials for Republic Pictures. As crime-busting secret agent Rex Bennett, Cameron battled enemy terrorists in 15 weekly episodes of G-Men vs the Black Dragon (Spencer Gordon Bennet, William Witney, William J O'Sullivan, 1943). He was already working on another serial when the audience reaction to Black Dragon made him a hit. Cameron was sufficiently popular for the studio to turn the new production into another Rex Bennett adventure, Secret Service in Darkest Africa (Spencer Gordon Bennet, 1943). This time, clench-jawed Bennet faces the Nazis rather than the Japanese. As with the earlier instalment, Bennet is supported by characters from some of the allied nations in World War II. When cowboy star Johnny Mack Brown left Universal Pictures for Monogram Pictures, Cameron replaced him as Universal's Western series star with Fuzzy Knight as his comic sidekick. Tall and rugged, Cameron looked good in the saddle and was very popular.
During World War II, Rod Cameron played in Commandos Strike at Dawn (John Farrow, 1942) starring Paul Muni, and played a US Marine in Wake Island (John Farrow, 1942) and Gung Ho! ( Ray Enright, 1943), starring Randolph Scott. Universalalso gave him roles in Salome, Where She Danced (Charles Lamont, 1945), Frontier Gal (Charles Lamont, 1945) and River Lady (George Sherman, 1948), all co-starring fellow Canadian Yvonne DeCarlo. Universal reorganised as Universal-International and downsized its activities in 1947, leaving Cameron and other contract players unemployed. He was hired by Monogram Pictures for a long string of outdoor action pictures. In 1948, he starred in Panhandle (Lesley Selander, 1948), co-written by Blake Edwards, for Allied Artists, and with Bonita Granville in the comedy film Strike It Rich (Lesley Selander, 1949). He then appeared in many Westerns and other films for Republic Pictures including Santa Fe Passage (William Witney, 1955) with John Payne, and later The Gun Hawk (Edward Ludwig, 1963), Requiem for a Gunfighter (Spencer Gordon Bennet, 1965) and The Bounty Killer (Spencer Gordon Bennet, 1965) starring Dan Duryea. Cameron traveled to Europe in 1964 to play the lead in Spaghetti Westerns such as Le pistole non discutono/Bullets Don't Argue (Mario Caiano, 1964) with Horst Frank, and Il piombo e la carne/Bullet in the Flesh (Marino Girolami, 1965). In Germany, he made Winnetou und sein Freund Old Firehand/Winnetou and Old Firehand (Alfred Vohrer, 1966), starring Pierre Brice. He later appeared in such films as The Last Movie (Dennis Hopper, 1971), Evel Knievel (Marvin J. Chomsky, 1971) with George Hamilton, and the horror film Psychic Killer (Ray Danton, 1975).
Rod Cameron starred in three syndicated television series: City Detective (1953–1955), State Trooper (1956–1959), and the Coronado 9 (1960–1961). In City Detective, Cameron appeared as the tough New York City police Lieutenant Bart Grant. In State Trooper, a 1950s-style Western-themed crime drama, Cameron starred as Lieutenant Rod Blake of the Nevada State Police. In Coronado 9, set in the San Diego area, Cameron appeared as Dan Adams, a private detective. State Trooper, in particular, was known for its surprise endings and guest stars despite not being affiliated with a network. Hal Erickson, in his book, 'Syndicated Television: The First Forty Years, 1947-1987', cited Cameron's business sense in confining his work in TV series to syndication: "A canny businessman, Cameron knew that his City Detective residuals wouldn't have been as fat had a major television network been claiming a percentage of the action, and as a result the actor vowed to remain in syndication for the rest of his TV career. By 1960, Cameron was drawing over $200,000 per annum in residuals [from his three syndicated programs]..." Cameron himself guest-starred in many TV Westerns, including six appearances on Laramie (1959), with John Smith and Robert Fuller, Bonanza (1959), and The Virginian (1962). Cameron also guest-starred in such dramatic series as Crossroads and Perry Mason, with Raymond Burr. Cameron continued to work in motion pictures and television into the 1970s. He appeared in the very first Alias Smith and Jones (1971) episode that co-starred Roger Davis alongside series star Ben Murphy. Davis replaced Pete Duel after the actor committed suicide by gun on New Year's Eve 1971. He appeared in season 2 of James Garner's detective series, The Rockford Files. Cameron's private life was colourful. In 1954, he divorced his second wife, Angela Alves-Lico (1950-1954) and later married her mother, Dorothy Eveleigh (1960-1983), who was a few years older than him. Hence, his former director, William Witney, publicly acclaimed Cameron the bravest man that he had ever seen. In his later years, Cameron lived on Lake Lanier in northern Georgia. An extended battle with cancer finally claimed the 73-year-old actor in 1983 at a Gainesville, Georgia, hospital. He was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A well preserved clamp, probably with an iron core, sheathed with lead in order to fill the slot carved between these two blocks and to protect the stone from the metal core. The crack on the left seems to have been caused by settling of the monument, which shifted the blocks apart and caused the clamp to tug on the block on the left. The lead sheathing has been driven into the space with a rectangular-tipped chisel. Chetinyova mogila, near Starosel. 4th century BCE.

Charleston, SC. 102 and 100 Broad Street. Photo taken 17 July 2004.
The Charleston County Judicial Center, completed in 2001 is the building on the right. On the left is a Greek Revival style urban residence constructed c.1840. A similar styled, five story masonry residence occupied the site of the Judicial Center between 1840 and 1950. It was demolished and replaced with a two story brick office building which in turn was demolished just over 40 years later.
Curiously, new buildings seem to have a shorter life expectancy that some of the more substantial buildings they replace. Despite the more traditional or new urbanist character of the county Judicial Center, it has several fundamental design flaws. In an attempt to avoid being identified as too traditional and in order to meet the requirements of those who would ask if it was architecture of our time, the odd placement of an oversized fan window supposed to be the answer.
The portico is out of scale for an otherwise bland building located in the center of a block. Such a grand portico should be at a corner or the focal point at the end of a vista, but this location is neither.
Finally, the ultimate design flaw has been dictated by management. For security reasons, the glass openings on the ground level lead nowhere. The portico isn't even an entrance. At best the monumental cover is an automobile drop point. With some irony, a car drop point could be seen as a potential security risk by itself, depending on how high the level of concern rates.
Building designers and local government administrators decided that behind this glass should be a cafe since this stretch of Broad Street is at the historic heart of the city's legal district. What they failed to understand was a cafe at street level, in order to work and be profitable, depends on direct interaction with street traffic. In this case, cafe patrons, especially those who would be drawn by presumed crowds and activity inside as might be viewed through the windows, were at a loss as to how to enter the cafe.
The cafe could only be accessed by way of the entrance to the Judicial Center lobby which was nearly half a block away AND behind a row of buildings that fronted Broad Street. Once inside the lobby any potential patron would have been required to double back, thus making a trip into the cafe from the street front nearly a full city block.
If that wasn't enough, the frustrated customer-to-be was required to run a gauntlet of metal detectors and security searches that might compare to that of a domestic airport, after all this was also the building that houses state criminal and civil courts for the Charleston Judicial District.
It wasn't surprising that the cafe was open for business only 6 months before shutting down all together for lack of patronage. It was just too darn hard to get there from here. Now a bank of vending machines, including neon lights glowing throughout the night, greet pedestrians who pass by.
So much for preserving the ambiance of the historic business street. So much for today's architects understanding how a building is supposed to work.
