History of the Museum
Scientific research and gathering in Austria found relatively late understanding and promotion. Indeed contained the chambers of art and curiosities of the Habsburgs also natural produce but for a long time they have been regarded as mere oddities, not as objects of scientific importance. It was not until Emperor Franz I. (Francis Stephen of Lorraine, 1745-1765), the husband of Maria Theresia, founded in 1748 with the purchase of the famous collection of Johann Baillous a private Naturalienkabinett. It was put up in accordance to Baillous' own scientific system in the Hofburg and was initially managed by this self.
The main emphasis was put on minerals and fossils as well as snail and mussel shells and corals. Plants and animals with soft parts were then (mainly because of the preparation problems) yet little appreciated as collector's items. They were held alive in botanical gardens and menageries.
After the death of Francis I the collection in which the Emperor had invested large sums of money was transferred into state ownership, reorganized and made twice a week accessible to the public. 1776 appointed Maria Theresa, particularly dear to her being mainly the earth sciences as a basis for mining and industry, the excellent mineralogist and montanist Ignaz von Born to Vienna and entrusted him with the systematic expansion of the collection. Born was a leader of the Enlightenment and Freemasonry, he might even have given the model for Sarastro in Mozart's "Magic Flute". With him for "Austria", definitely, dawned the scientific-technological age. The Naturalienkabinett (a cabinet of curiosities) then became a center of mineralogical research in Europe.
The nature-loving Emperor Franz II (I, 1792-1835) expanded the natural history collection for a private animal cabinet. The foundation for this were the trophies of the Habsburgs, which date back to Emperor Maximilian II (1564-1576), as well as the famous collection of prepared native vertebrates and insects of the falconer Joseph Natterer. After several reclassifications followed in 1807 the foundation of a separate plants cabinet. The Emperor lay with the gift of his Privatherbars (private plant collection) the foundation.
The exhibition practice around 1800 was marked by an often curious juxtaposition of little scientific and very progressive tendencies. The stuffed animals were shown in artificial landscape dioramas, ie already in ecological context. Alongside, however, stood also Stopfpräparate (stuffed compounds) of people of non-native breeds such as the "high princely Moor' Angelo Soliman, who came to literary fame.
The eminent scholar and organizer Carl Schreibers who from 1806 until 1851 headed the Natural History Collection, provided for key reforms in all areas. He extented all departments to major research centers and was supported not only by the museum officials, but also by a number of often highly skilled, unpaid volunteers.
On the occasion of the marriage of his daughter Leopoldina with the Brazilian crown prince Dom Pedro in 1817 sent Emperor Franz also well-known researchers to South America. Through their collecting activities, the growth of the museum's experienced a glorious climax. So stayed the zoologist Johann Natterer for 18 years in South America and established an in an exemplary manner documented collection of scientific and ethnographic objects for Vienna. This contributed significantly to the worldwide reputation of the museum, but also led to a decades-long lack of space.
With various, not always felicitous chosen emergency solutions on tried in vain to handle space problems sussesfully. During the revolutionary turmoil of 1848, the Imperial Palace was bombarded by imperial troops and partially set on fire. A part of the collection was destroyed, tragically, also many irreplaceable objects from the Brazilian material.
In the years after the Revolution, the collection was converted into an independent zoological, botanical and mineralogical Hofkabinett (Court cabinet). These cabinets with their extremely rich stocks offered not only ideal possibilities to explore, they contributed to the establishment of scientific disciplines in the university sector in 1870 also considerably to the formation of young scientists. The collections have been enhanced through exchange and purchases, by the collecting activities of the researchers as well as legacies, especially of scientifically inclined travelers, constantly . In addition, the by the Imperial Court generously funded cooperation with the Austrian navy became very important: Especially the circumnavigation of the world of the frigate "Novara" (1857-1859), which was attended by numerous excellent naturalist, gave an exceedingly rich collection of new material to the museum. The scientific word off should take decades.
This scientific Poiniergeist (pioneering spirit), reflecting the general belief in progress in the second half of the 18th Century, was facing the more and more oppressive need of space. Although Emperor Franz Joseph had already in 1857 the razing of the fortification lines around the city center ordered. On the cleared area should along a boulevard alongside other representative public buildings also new museums emerge. Up to the completion of this project, however, it was still a long way to go.
The liberal bourgeoisie then undergoing a steep political and economic upswing was inclined to replace the old cabinets through research and education centers for broad strata of the population and thus make its own cultural advancement clearly visible. But the neo-absolutist empire of the gradually decaying Habsburg monarchy, too, wanted erect itself a modern, artistically accomplished monument: A monumental Imperial Forum following the ancient example was planned, that should be reaching from the Imperial Palace to the royal stables. Realized of it was only a torso: the New Castle and Maria Theresa Square with Museum of Art History and Museum of Natural History.
The internal organization of the new 'Imperial and Royal Natural History Court Museum", which on 10 August was officially opened in 1889, goes back to the great geologist, New Zealand researcher and first director of the museum, Ferdinand von Hochstetter, and has been preserved largely in its clear systematic today. However, the proliferation of resources and new demands on the research and display collection activities required new spatial and structural solutions. Thus, an underground storage was created in 1990, which extends under the building on four levels and in fully air-conditioned rooms keeps a portion of the collection material. Due to the roof extension (1991 to 1995) further collection, but also numerous new working rooms were gained.
The research, the preservation and completing of the major scientific collections and the presentation of selected natural objects to this day have not lost any of their topicalities. In a time of increasingly rapid destruction of our environment, they are more important than ever. Just as the white patches have become smaller on the map, penetrates the science into ever smaller areas. Long scanning electron microscope and X-ray equipment have replaced hand magnifier. In the permanent exhibition area visitors also have access to advanced optical devices, especially in "Microcosmos" ( Hall 21). The preservation of collection, too, follows modern conservation knowledge.
Over a century ago, the Museum hace been created for the systematic presentation - the diversity of nature sorted strung together, the palace-like building, the interplay of means and objects as well as the historic atmosphere giving it a distinctive character.
Even with the redesign of many exhibition halls systematic classification was basically retained to make the visitors aware of the immense diversity of life. However, the presentation is successively adapted to the museological requirements and needs of the 21st century. Also presented are interesting topics and new contents in a contemporary didactic form.

Had great weather on our half-term holiday and managed a couple of good walks including a round walk from Bicknoller onto the Quantock Wills and back via Weacombe. Spotted this little fungi colony set in moss on a tree branch overhanging a small stream. Perfect macro material and for once I've managed to control the focal plane quite well.
I found identification almost impossible, even with Roger Phillips' Mushroom book, and can only guess they may be of type Mycena or Galerina. Any suggestions are welcome.

Inflation jitters, acute global imbalances and persistent low interest rates in the US are just a few of the factors complicating many governments’ efforts to manage record levels of debt.
1) In the aftermath of the financial crisis, how have governments changed their approach to issuing debt? Is there a danger of saturated debt markets?
2) Are bond traders destined to be the new masters of the universe?
3) How are concerns over a weakened dollar impacting strategies? Could this accelerate moves into alternative reserve currencies?
4) When can we expect governments to shift attention to deficit reduction?

Managed to make it to London Pride again, with my pal sisyphus007. This time I hired a Canon 85mm f/1.2L II lens, an absolute brick that was in itself a workout to carry round. Was perhaps a bit too ambitious in my determination to shoot with as wide an aperture as possible. When I hit the right focus point it was sharp, but I did find the focussing to be a little cumbersome.
As ever, the day was characterised by fun, happiness and laughter. The participants were, without fail, delighted to be photographed. Hopefully they all enjoyed the day !!

The Ueno Zoo (恩賜上野動物園 Onshi Ueno Dōbutsuen?) is a zoo, managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and located in Taito, Tokyo, Japan. It is Japan's oldest and most famous zoo, opened on March 20, 1882. It is a five-minute walk from the Park Exit of Ueno Station, with convenient access from Tokyo's public-transportation network. The Ueno Zoo Monorail, the first monorail in the country, connects the eastern and western parts of the grounds.
The zoo is located within Ueno Park, a large urban park that is home to several museums, a small amusement park, and other attractions.
As of March, 2003, the zoo has 422 species. The Sumatran tiger, and western lowland gorilla head the list of the zoo's population. Ueno has most variety of species on exhibition than any other zoo in Japan.
At some point, redistribution of the animals among Tokyo's other zoos (including Tama Zoo and Inokashira Nature Park) left Ueno without a lion. However, in response to public demand, Ueno borrowed a female from the Yokohama Municipal Zoo
As of 2008, recent animals at the Ueno Zoo included:
Giant panda (Ling Ling, Ueno's only giant panda, died of chronic heart failure on April 30, 2008, leaving Ueno Zoo without a panda for the first time since 1972.)[1] China has agreed to lend a male and female to Ueno[2].
A Lesser panda (also known as the Red Panda)
Other animals have included the Sumatran tiger the Asiatic lion, the Western lowland gorilla, the Polar bear, the Asian elephant, the Reticulated Giraffe. and the White rhinoceros

The zoo is also often home to zebras, Japanese macaques, red-crowned cranes, White-tailed eagles and King Penguins, along with goats, sheep, pigs, ostriches, and rabbits.
I only managed to make it to Oct 2008 in my photo a week efforts and I'm gutted as I didn't have many weeks left to go. Unfortunately I lost my mojo and just couldn't face taking photographs.
I'm now just going to take a photo whenever I feel like it and not feel bad if I haven't taken one in ages!
This set of pictures is starting off in Dec 2008, as I finally took some pictures when Paul and I went to his works Christmas Ball.
The lights were dancing and so were the people.
I love how the lighting effects have come out in this shot. I took a few more shots, here is the album: www.flickr.com/photos/24637969@N00/sets/72157612320766069/

New dolly purchase today! Managed to find some of these cuties. The Toys 'R Us I went to had the stashed up on the very top shelf so they weren't easy to find.
I really bought them to strip for my DaLs. They've got a lot of clothes and a lot of pieces I felt were pretty versatile.
I'll still strip them, but I'm finding their actually pretty nice little dolls. Of course, there are some issues like the fact that they're not as poseable as you would think (hands can't touch their mouths which is odd) and the brunette here has a lot of product in her hair to keep the hairdo. But they seem to be pretty decent quality. Uncertain whether or not I find the eyes pretty or creepy. LOL! I think both, really. I actually like the blonde best. She's got some really adorable freckles that just endear her to me for some reason. ^_^
There's one more in this set, but I didn't like her outfits so I didn't buy her. :p
Managed to finally catch the pack at feeding time. They all consume a whole chicken or rabbit each within two bites - bones and all!

A school punishment book from a village junior school in 1951-1952, that was quite sparing with the cane.
About six entries per year, I could have managed that almost on my own in a year, and with similar crimes at a couple of junior school I attended in the 1960s.
Talking & disobedience would have been an easy crime for me to be punished over.
Pee Fights were an often punished affair, mostly it was just the slipper, most of the teachers did not use the cane or have time to take you for the cane, the nearest plimsoll or the longer teacher style ruler was often quickly found and the matter was soon over.
One of my crimes which I was caned for, was during a game of "Highest Up The Wall" in the outside lavatory block. The walls were only about 5 foot high, this allowed any teacher on playground duty to see what we were up to. The dare between junior school boys was to see who could get their stream over the top, in most cases we failed, normally one of us was picked to watch out for teachers on the prowl.
A friend managed the task, just a as teacher came into view of the lavatory block. On entering, he did try to get a confession straight away, but failed, it was easier just to cane the ten or so who were there, as probably there was the chance we all were guilty of not using the urinal properly. All of us were soon in tears after a couple of hits with the cane.
The other antic we got up to was peeing on the back of another boys legs if they were taking too long at the urinal. A few boys did find it difficult to go if there were up to 100 others wanting to use the urinals at that point, had they waited and been at the end of the queue there would not have been any problems for them.
We were trying to take aim at the urinal wall in the gap at the side, if they moved they were soaked. A few complained to the teachers, but as they were unable to name us, and we would vouch for others that they had not been responsible, There were only a few punishments were ever given for soaking a younger boys legs and shoes. If they were in wellingtons, then we did intentionally pee on their legs, as there was little evidence as to what we had been up to.
Wetting a raincoat could happen over a challenge of who could go the furthest. Two boys stand at an agreed distance facing each other. The winner is the one who can hit the other one, the looser the one whose stream did not reach as far, or was not as long lasting if it hit the coat. Waterproof rubber raincoats were the ideal garment to wear as any hit of pee just ran off, a cloth raincoat or duffel coat might stay soaked.
The punishments of only one stroke was a bit mild, mostly I received two or three strokes, but I didn't get the full six very often.

Among the collection of photographs, maps, and letters is the School punishment book with entries from 1902 to 1962.
In February 1911, John Plummer was given three “strokes on seat” for “writing indecent matter on slate”. Who knows what the schoolteachers would have made of modern graffiti.
