Reid's Coffee Palace (another name for a temperance hotel) was built by German immigrant John Reid on the site of his New York Bakery next to Ballarat's central railway terminus. Reid's Coffee Palace, which along with the bakery, and the Provincial Hotel across the street, were part of the franchise operated by John Reid.
Reid's Coffee Palace was built in two stages. The first was in 1886, with Melbourne architects Tappin and Gilbert and contractors Taylor and Ellis. The extensions were undertaken by Tappin Gilbert and Dennehy in 1888. The verandah would appear to have been built about ten years after that around 1898 - 1900. Externally the two stages are clearly evident with two bracketed pediments surmounted by elaborate name plates and flanked by a balustraded parapet. The Edwardian balcony verandah with central gablet, densely patterned frieze iron and matching unusual triangular brackets is of interest. Internally the stairwell with its wonderful hand painted ceiling and wall panels, clerestory, glazing and entrance arch are perhaps of greatest importance. The building is intact, other than recent repainting and signs and two shopfronts of the 1920s. Internally, only major items of interest have survived. The combination of the stairwell with the balcony verandah make this an important building of the coffee palace era and unique on a state wide basis.
The Coffee Palace remained extraordinarily intact, both internally and externally until the property was finally sold by the Reid family in 1977. The original fixtures and furniture was sold off and the whole building redecorated internally and externally.
John Reid emigrated from Germany to America, where in New York (the desination of so many European immigrants) he entered the baking trade. In 1855 brought the techniques and specialities he had learnt in New York to the burgeoning Victorian goldfields to feed the hordes of hungry miners, most of whom had never known anything like what John served. He established a New York bakery in the adventageous spot next to Ballarat's busy railway station, where the bakery remained until he decided to open his own coffee palace.
The term coffee palace was primarily used in Australia to describe the temperance hotels which were built during the period of the 1880s although there are references to the term also being used, to a lesser extent, in the United Kingdom. They were hotels that did not serve alcohol, built in response to the temperance movement and, in particular, the influence of the Independent Order of Rechabites in Australia.
Panther is the common name of a medium tank deployed by Nazi Germany in World War II from mid-1943 to the end of the European war in 1945. It was intended as a counter to the Russian T-34, and as a replacement for the Panzer III and Panzer IV. While never replacing the latter, it served alongside it and the heavier Tiger tanks until the end of the war. The Panther's excellent combination of firepower, mobility, and protection served as a benchmark for other nations' late war and post-war tank designs, and it is regarded as one of the best tanks of World War II.
Until 1944, it was designated as the Panzerkampfwagen V Panther and had the ordnance inventory designation of Sd.Kfz. 171. On 27 February 1944, Hitler ordered that the Roman numeral V be deleted from the designation.
The Panther tank was a compromise of various requirements. While having essentially the same engine as the Tiger I tank, it had better frontal armor (including the benefit of a sloped armor, increasing effective armor depth), better gun penetration, was lighter and thus faster, and could traverse rough terrain better than the Tigers. The tradeoff was weaker side armor. The Panther proved to be deadly in open country and long range engagements, but vulnerable in close-quarters combat. Also, the 75 mm gun fired a slightly smaller shell than the Tiger's 88 mm gun, providing less high explosive firepower against infantry.
The Panther was also far cheaper to produce than the Tiger tanks, and only slightly more expensive than the Panzer IV, as its design came to fruition when the Reich Ministry of Armament and War Production was making great efforts to increase war production. Key elements of the Panther design, such as its armor, transmission, and final drive, were compromises made specifically to improve production rates and address Germany's war shortages, whereas other elements such as its highly compact engine and its complex suspension system remained with their elegant but complicated engineering. The result was that Panther tank production was far higher than what was possible for the Tiger tanks, but not much higher than what had been accomplished with the Panzer IV. At the same time, the simplified final drive became the single major cause of breakdowns of the Panther tank, and was a problem that was never corrected.
The Panther tank arrived in 1943 at a crucial phase in World War II for Germany. Rushed into combat at the Battle of Kursk with un-corrected teething problems, which resulted in breakdowns and other equipment failures, the Panther tank would thereafter only be fighting outnumbered in Germany's steady retreat against the Allies for the remainder of World War II. Its success as a battlefield weapon was thus hampered by Germany's generally declining position in the war, with the loss of airpower protection by the Luftwaffe, the loss of fuel and training space, and the declining quality of tank crews. Nevertheless, the Panther tank commanded respect from the Allies, and its combat capabilities led directly to the introduction of heavier Allied tanks such as the Soviet IS-2 and the American M26 Pershing into the war.

1st reading: "Beloved Teach and urge these things Whoever teaches something different and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the religious teaching is conceited, understanding nothing and has a morbid disposition for arguments and verbal disputes. From these come envy, rivalry, insults, evil suspicions and mutual friction among people with corrupted minds, who are deprived of the truth, supposing religion to be a means of gain. Indeed, religion with contentment is a great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, just as we shall not be able to take anything out of it. If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with that. Those who want to be rich are falling into temptation and into a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge them into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains. But you, man of God, avoid all this. Instead, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Compete well for the faith Lay hold of eternal life, to which you were called..."

Scientific name: Polygonia c-album
Ragged wing edges distinguish this orange and brown butterfly. Undersides are brown with a white mark shaped like a comma.
The Comma is a fascinating butterfly. The scalloped edges and cryptic colouring of the wings conceal hibernating adults amongst dead leaves, while the larvae, flecked with brown and white markings, bear close resemblance to bird droppings.
The species has a flexible life cycle, which allows it to capitalize on favourable weather conditions. However, the most remarkable feature of the Comma has been its severe decline in the twentieth century and subsequent comeback. It is now widespread in southern Britain and its range is expanding northwards.

Glen Innes.
Glen Innes, the “capital “of the NSW Scottish highlands was named after Archibald Clunes Innes the former Commandant of Port Macquarie penal colony. But Innes was above all a pastoralist and land developer (he also had one of the first shops in Armidale). He grew the first sugar in the Port Macquarie area but he concentrated on sheep pastoralism across northern NSW. His head station was Furracabad where the city of Glen Innes now stands. Because of the Scottish heritage the district it acquired other Celtic town names – Ben Lomond, Glencoe and Dundee. There were also Welsh settlers up here and hence you can find Llangothlin near Glen Innes and the Welsh also named the nearby river- the Gwydir. Even some of the street names in Glen Innes are written in Gaelic. The early British links were also maintained as one of the first stations in the Glen Innes district was called Stonehenge. The earliest settlers of this region were two brother stockmen, William and John Duval from 1838 who were actually employed on Tilbuster the station that stood where the city of Armidale now stands. The Duval brothers sported long flowing beards and hence they were called the Beardies. Because they introduced other squatters to the region it became known as the “Land of the Beardies.” This name, Beardie, is used as a street name in Armidale and now is the title of the Glen Innes Museum. It is housed in the original Glen Innes hospital from 1877. The town itself was named by Mosman who owned Furracabad Station by 1852 when the town was gazetted.
Glen Innes is just south of Tenterfield the home town of Sir Henry Parkes, the main instigator of the move towards a federated Australia in the 1880s. As a local politician Sir Henry Parkes opened the Town Hall in Glen Innes in 1888. It is a good example of a late Victorian public building with a grand façade. It was completed in 1887 and officially opened in 1888 for the centenary of the founding of NSW. Other significant buildings in Glen Innes are: the Court House ( 1873); the Post Office (1890); the public School; St. Patrick’s Catholic Church (1908); the Police Station (1876); and the Railway station. In all 29 Glen Innes buildings are on the Register of the National Estate. One odd claim to fame for Glen Innes is that it is a major corn or maize producing district so your Kellogg Corn Flakes were probably grown up here at Glen Innes as Kelloggs are the major buyer of local maize!
The Celtic Standing Stones pays homage to all the Celtic settlers of Australia not just the Scottish. It reminds us of the contributions of the Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx and Bretons to the development of Australia. The park in which the Standing Stones are located has an annual Celtic Festival which we miss by only a few days. The large standing stones and Excalibur monument are reminiscent of the menhirs of Brittany in France and the standing circles of Avebury in England and the circles of Skye in Scotland. The Glen Innes Standing Stones are based on the Ring of Brodgar in Orkney Islands, a Neolithic stone ring dating from 2,500 BC to 2,000 BC. The Glen Innes ring is a 1988 Bicentenary project. The local tourist officer searched the bush for suitable stones that stood at least 5.5 metres high so that 3.7 metres could be above ground. Each stone is about 17 tonnes in weight. The site was finished by 1992 and officially opened by the NSW Governor.

The Doll Project is a series of conceptual digital photographs that uses fashion dolls to embody the negative messages the media gives to young girls. Though it would not be fair to blame it all on Barbie, there have been many instances in which she has come dangerously close. I chose to use Barbie dolls because they are miniature mannequins, emblems of the fashion world writ small, a representation of our culture's impossible standards of beauty scaled to one sixth actual size. The little pink scale and How To Lose Weight book are both real Barbie accessories from the 1960s. They are recurring motifs in the pictures in the series, symbolizing the ongoing dissatisfaction many girls and women feel about their weight and body image. The dolls' names, Ana and Mia, are taken from internet neologisms coined by anorexic and bulimic girls who have formed online communities with the unfortunate purpose of encouraging each other in their disordered eating. With each passing era, Ana and Mia are younger and younger, and the physical ideal to which they aspire becomes more unattainable. They internalize the unrealistic expectations of a society that digitally manipulates images of women in fashion and beauty advertisements and value their own bodies only as objects for others to look at and desire.

It would appear the town was named after the significant bend in the River or it could be from a Ngarrindjeri word “thelim” meaning bend. The land in the district was part of a Special Survey for John Morphett in May 1839. He paid £4,000 for 4,000 acres in a narrow strip along each side of the Murray from Wellington to Tailem Bend. This was the Wellington Special Survey. The first pastoralist settlers in the area were the family of Allen McFarlane who established a lease hold run near Wellington in 1845 covering 72,000 acres. They built a grand house called Wellington Lodge, noted for its fine wrought iron work and views over Lake Alexandrina. The original Georgian house of 1843 was incorporated into a later huge Victorian Italianate style house. Wellington Lodge has hosted several royal visits in 1867 and again in 1927 and members of the family were local MPs and councillors. Allen McFarlane was one of the original owners of the Mt Barker Special Survey of 1839. On his Wellington run McFarlane soon owned 43,000 acres freehold apart from his leasehold land. The property is still owned by the McFarlane family and is operated as an Angus beef stud. Across the lake a fellow Scot paid for another Special Survey- the Lake Alexandrina Survey for the Malcolm brothers. They called their property Poltalloch.
More land was surveyed near Tailem Bend when the Hundred was declared in 1853 but the town of Tailem Bend was not surveyed until 1887. Why? Because that was when the Intercolonial Railway to Melbourne passed through the area. But prior to this gazetting of the town Governor Sir William Jervois (1877-1883) had instigated work on the building of levees in 1881 and the reclamation for swamp lands along the Murray River opposite Tailem Bend. This was his own personal land. The area across the Murray from Tailem Bend is known as Jervois. Further swamp lands were reclaimed in 1886 and all suitable areas were reclaimed by 1929 leading to the establishment of dairying in the district. The Jervois cheese factory began in the 1930s and Dairy Farmers still operates a cheese factory on the site. There is also a cheese factory in Murray Bridge. The lower Murray swamps account for 20% of SA’s dairy herds.
Despite the railway of 1887 and a Murray River ferry crossing of the 19th century, Tailem Bend is very much a 20th century town. Growth was slow until the Railways Commissioner (Mr Webb who built our current Adelaide Railway Station) decided to move the railway marshalling yards and rail engine workshops from Murray Bridge to Tailem bend in 1925. Tailem Bend North was subdivided at that time to provide homes for the new railway employees. The Methodist Church was built in 1927(replacing an earlier one); the Anglican Church opened in 1926; and the Roman Catholic Church was completed in 1924. The original 1902 government school was enlarged with a new two storey addition in 1927 to cater for the surge in enrolments. How many other country towns in SA have a two story state school apart from Wallaroo? The railways also had a generator installed in 1927 and from that time it provided electricity for Tailem Bend until ETSA took over that service in 1957. The railway had a huge impact on the town.
But why did Commissioner Webb move rail operations to Tailem Bend? A mapwill explain why. Tailem Bend was the rail hub for the Murray Mallee and the Riverland. The South Australian Railways did not return a surplus until 1905 after the great rail building decades of the 1870s and 1880s. It then started on a new rail building boom to open up the Mallee. In 1907 a line was built from Tailem Bend to Pinnaroo followed by a line to Karoonda in 1909, Loxton and Renmark 1912/13 and Waikerie in 1914. Later lines went to Peebinga (the so-called railway to nowhere) in 1914; to Barmera in 1927; and Yinkanie (Kingston-on-Murray) in 1925. To complement this railway importance a new Art Nouveau style railway station was built in Tailem Bend in 1914 in identical design to those in Moonta, Bordertown etc. But there was another reason for the rail move to Tailem Bend: the large heavy engines needed to pull the trains through the Adelaide Hills were not needed for the flat Mallee and eastern routes. So trains were marshalled and formed and reformed in Tailem Bend. The trains are no longer important as the rail yards have been closed and the train services to Renmark, Pinnaroo and other centres were all closed down in the early 1970s. In later years Tailem Bend has been a transportation hub again- for roadhouses and services for motorists as it is the place where the freeway and dual carriage way road ends and the highway divides between the Coorong route and the Bordertown route.
Clint Eastwood was known as the Man With No Name in the Spaghetti Westerns
America recorded the song, A Horse With No Name
Here is the Scotch With No Name
Just a number.
A bit like Patrick McGoohan in the TV series, The Prisoner - but he insisted he wasn't a number he was a free man.
Unfortunately this bottle has a number, but it wasn't free, unlike Patrick.
To add to the air of mystery, according to the label it smells of toffee popcorn, dark honey, caramel, dates, brandy snaps, chocolate, fruit cake and hot cross buns, but it tastes of banana chips, nutmeg, vanilla, figs and sticky toffee pudding.
It probably has got a name but I've no idea what it is, but with all those tastes and flavours, who cares?
It's a single cask malt. Which goes something like this, but probably not exactly like this. Most stuff seen on a supermarket shelf i.e. the big brands are blends. That's taking barrels from lots of different distilleries and mixing them together for consistency of taste over zillions of bottles over years and years. Most single malts are a mix of lots of different barrels, again aiming for a bit of consistency from that one distillery. A single cask malt is just as the name suggests. A pure one off that isn't mixed with anything at all. It has its own unique character which depends on quite a few factors including the barrel it was matured in.

Volunteer Name: Creighton DeYoung, Project Location: Cusco, Peru
Program Dates: From 03/23/2014 to 03/30/2014
Volunteered at: Pre-medical project
1- How was the local ABV Coordinator and the support provided in-country?
This trip was the first time I had traveled abroad by myself, and I was a little bit nervous about the logistics. However, I was very pleased to find that the ABV Coordinator (Beatriz) was exceptionally accommodating. Despite flight complications, and several other uncontrollable mishaps, my week in Peru was worry free and successful. A large of which can be attributed to the ABV Coordinator.
2- What was the most surprising thing you experienced?
The most surprising thing for me was the standard of the medical facility and staff. I was expecting far worse! It was a clean building with professional staff. While it is nice to know the patients at my clinic are in good hands, I wish I could have played a more integral role in the medical field.
3- What was most difficult to experience?
The most difficult thing for me was working with the children in the clinic. I was concerned by the conditions in which they lived. The physical environment was quite nice, however, the children lacked personal social attention. At the end of the day, it was hard for me to tear myself away from the kids.
4- Any tips for future volunteers… (clothing, travel, personal items, donations)
Make Machu at least a two day trip.
4.1-Other things volunteers should know:
a.-Don’t carry all your money around with you, even if it is in a money belt.
b.-Buy a map of the city and keep it with you. Study it a little bit if you have time.
c.-You might be surprised by the amazing conversations you can have with completely random people, if take the time to initiate it.
d.-Plan a group dinner with at least some of the other volunteers; it makes living in a foreign country far less lonely.
5- Personal Paragraph (ABV Program Testimonial):
Overall, I absolutely loved my experience in Cusco, Peru. It was definitely the best way I could have spent my one week of spring break. Although I volunteered in a medical setting, I would have liked to been included more in working with patients. That being said, I do feel as though I made a difference in the lives of some – the children. If asked whether or not I would sign up for this trip all over again, I would absolutely say, “Yes.”

And here we have the reason we and probably half the crowd around us came to Talladega this year. That guy on the left accepting a plaque from the president of Talladega Superspeedway while standing with the governor's arm around his back? That's Dale Earnhardt, Jr., affectionately known by the entire NASCAR world as Junior.
Junior, born in 1974, is the third child of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt, Sr., and is the second of Earnhardt's children to climb into a race car. But Junior's older brother, Kerry, never had much success, and though Kerry's son, Jeffrey, is also running at NASCAR's highest level at the moment, he usually comes in last. So it's been up to Junior to carry on the Earnhardt name. Junior grew up around race cars, and he started driving as soon as he was old enough to reach the pedals. He had a lot of success at the sport's lower levels, and by the year 2000, he was good enough to make the big time, driving the DEI No. 8.
Just so you know, DEI stood for "Dale Earnhardt, Inc.," and the two-car company was owned in part by Dale Earnhardt, Sr. (Though the man himself actually drove for somebody else, which is exactly the kind of deal that makes NASCAR different from other sports. Other sports would call that sketchy.) As I've said, NASCAR has long been a business built on nepotism, but you still have to be able to drive the car. Junior proved himself only 12 races into his career when he won at Texas, breaking a record for the quickest win by a rookie in the modern era previously held by his dad. Junior went on to win another 25 races over the course of his career, which doesn't sound like much, but one of these races is really hard to win. He ranks seventh on the all-time win list among active drivers, and he's 29th on that list for every Cup driver since the start of the sport.
The defining moment of Junior's career--and, probably, his life--came at the end of the 2001 Daytona 500. In the last lap coming around Turn 4, Junior was running second. His friend and DEI teammate, Michael Waltrip (who had never won a race) was in first. Dale Sr. was running third, doing what he always did, blocking traffic and protecting Michael and Junior's lead from cars that might try a last turn pass. Something went wrong, and Dale Sr. got turned into the wall in a crash that actually looks pretty tame when you watch it. But the impact snapped Earnhardt's neck, killing him instantly. From that moment on, the weight of the Earnhardt name fell on Junior's shoulders, as millions of fans demanded that Junior suddenly become the man his father had been.
And Junior rose to the challenge pretty well for a while, generally outperforming what would have been expected of any normal driver. He was especially good at the restrictor plate tracks, the big superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega where the cars run their fastest in really big packs. He won four Talladega races in a row in 2002 and 2003. But expectations were different for Junior, who was somehow supposed to channel his father's skill from the grave. He was less dominant away from the superspeedways, and his situation was made worse by the background drama of DEI, which was being run into the ground by his father's widow. (There's a whole big thing there.)
Junior finally got away from all that in 2008, when he jumped over to the four-car empire of Hendrick Motorsports (which also ran superstars Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson) and multiplied his car number by 11 to drive the 88. That's been his car ever since.
The Park of the Monsters , also named Garden of Bomarzo, is a Manieristic monumental complex located in Bomarzo, in the province of Viterbo, in northern Lazio, Italy.
The gardens were created during the 16th century.They are composed of a wooded park, located at the bottom of a valley where the castle of Orsini was erected, and populated by sculptures and small buildings divided among of the natural vegetation. The park's name stems from the many larger-than-life sculptures, some sculpted in the bedrock, which populate this predominantly barren landscape. It is the work of Pier Francesco Orsini, called Vicino (1523–1585), a condottiero and patron of the arts, greatly devoted to his wife Giulia Farnese, not to confuse with her maternal grandmother Giulia Farnese, the mistress of Pope Alexander VI. When the wife of Orsini died, he created the gardens. The design is attributed to Pirro Ligorio, and the sculptures to Simone Moschino.
During the nineteenth century and deep into the twentieth the garden became overgrown and neglected, but in the 1970s a program of restoration was implemented by the Bettini family, and today the garden, which remains private property, is a major tourist attraction.
The park of Bomarzo was intended not to please, but to astonish, and like many Mannerist works of art, its symbolism is arcane : examples are a large sculpture of one of Hannibal's war elephants, which mangles a Roman legionary, or the statue of Ceres lounging on the bare ground, with a vase of verdure perched on her head.
The many monstrous statues appear to be unconnected to any rational plan and appear to have been strewn almost randomly about the area, sol per sfogare il Core ("just to set the heart free") as one inscription in the obelisks says.
Allusive verses in Italian by Annibal Caro (the first one is of him, in 1564), Bitussi and Cristoforo Madruzzo, some of them now eroded, were inscribed besides sculptures.
The reason for the layout and design of the garden is largely unknown : perhaps they were meant as a foil to the perfect symmetry and layout of the great Renaissance gardens nearby at Villa Farnese and Villa Lante. Next to a formal exedra is a tilting watchtowerlike casina, the so-called Casa Pendente ("Leaning House").

Built in 1892 on the rise of a hill in the prominent location of the corner of Bromfield and Corangamite Streets in Colac, stands the grand two-storey red brick residence, "Lislea House".
"Lislea House" was built for Doctor Wynne, a local practitioner, for his use as a stylish residence and surgery. "Lislea House" has been constructed in the popular Federation Queen Anne style, which was mostly a residential style established in the 1890s which was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement in England, but also encompassed some of the more stylised elements of Art Nouveau, which gave it an more decorative look. "Lislea House" has a very complex roofline, which is typical of the Federation Queen Anne architectural movement, as is the steeply pitched roof, ornate wooden fretwork that graces the return verandah and the exaggerated height of the chimneys.
Queen Anne style was most popular around the time of Federation. With complex roofline structures, ornamental towers of unusual proportions and undulating facades, many Queen Anne houses fell out of fashion at the beginning of the modern era, and were demolished.
Doctor Wynne was a prominent and popular figure in the Colac community. Born in Armagh, the county town of County Armagh in Northern Ireland in 1857, Doctor Wynne studied medicine at Dublin University. He migrated to Australia after gaining his degree and took over the Colac practice of Doctor Porter in the late 1880s. He was interested in public affairs and in the forwarding and improvement of Colac; becoming a patron of many establishments in the town including, the Colac Fire Brigade and the Colac Free Library. He even established a local newspaper the "Daily News". He was one of the original shareholders of the Colac Dairying Company, the Colac dairy farmers' co-operative. Doctor Wynne enjoyed horse racing and he and his wife entertained at their fine house often. Doctor Wynne died at "Lislea House" in 1915 as a result of complications. caused by a weak heart.
The descendants of Doctor Wynne no longer live in "Lislea House", and after some years of neglect, it has been restored internally and externally to its original splendor, as well as having had some modern day comforts added. It now serves as self contained apartments which take advantage of the house's location so close to the town's centre.
Located approximately 150 kilometres to the south-west of Melbourne, past Geelong is the small Western District city of Colac. The area was originally settled by Europeans in 1837 by pastoralist Hugh Murray. A small community sprung up on the southern shore of a large lake amid the volcanic plains. The community was proclaimed a town, Lake Colac, in 1848, named after the lake upon which it perches. The post office opened in 1848 as Lake Colac and was renamed Colac in 1854 when the city changed its name. The township grew over the years, its wealth generated by the booming grazing industries of the large estates of the Western District and the dairy industry that accompanied it. Colac has a long high street shopping precinct, several churches, botanic gardens, a Masonic hall and a smattering of large properties within its boundaries, showing the conspicuous wealth of the city. Today Colac is still a commercial centre for the agricultural district that surrounds it with a population of around 10,000 people. Although not strictly a tourist town, Colac has many beautiful surviving historical buildings or interest, tree lined streets. Colac is known as “the Gateway to the Otways” (a reference to the Otway Ranges and surrounding forest area that is located just to the south of the town).
" #OnceUponATime a spacecraft named #Rosetta was launched into the night sky. A long, long journey lay ahead of her, to uncover the mysteries of our solar system. Rosetta carried a little passenger, the lander #Philae. It had taken many, many years to dream of that mission and now #Rosetta was on her way to the far off comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko.“
This is how the lovely tales of @ESA_Rosetta and her little travelbuddy @Philae_2014 are being told in an adorable youtube-comic series by @esa

I can't believe how quickly time flew by since January 20th 2014, when my then 3 year old son @LightspeedLeo , my husband @travelholic and I started following this mission with #RosettaAreWeThereYet and #WakeUpRosetta.
While Leo sat there, watching the live feed and the little videos with sparkling eyes he said: “Mommy, I wish I could wake up together with Rosetta and Philae every morning“.
So together we grabbed a tetra pak, card board, tin foil, self adhesive foil, spits of wood and - extremely important - some wobbly eyes for #Rosetta and #Philae and -after studying the blueprints in the latest esa-bulletin- started building our own spacecraft together.

Since then a happy #MiniSpaceTweep and his travelbuddy @PinkLilDragon wake up smiling together with THEIR #RosettaAndPhilae mobile every single morning ;-)
It was a pleasure for all of us to follow all their adventures and to learn more about their journey, to listen to Philippe Gaudon during #SpaceUpTLS in 2014 and see those amazing models at „Cité de l’Espace“ in Toulouse and also to visit the “Holy Grail of Rosetta“, its home base at ESOC in Darmstadt a few times, sitting on the chair of Flight Operations Director #FOD @Andrea Accomazzo in the Main Control Room #MCR and closely feeling the spirit and excitement of this very special place and sharing this with our friends from near and far. (And no, we didn't press any buttons there ;-) )
In a few days, on September 30th @ESA_Rosetta will follow @Philae_2014 to its final destination and the two travelbuddies will be finally reunited on their #LuckyDucky #67P.
So I am looking forward to be at ESOC with @travelholic and many others then, sharing the #GrandFinale and the #CometLanding celebrations of a mission so well done by the awesome @esa teams around @AndreaAccomazzo and @mggtTaylor.
Congrats to all involved in #Rosetta Mission @ESA - European Space Agency for taking a(nother) giant leap in history, thank you very much for your inspiration and for sharing your ride with all of us.
Your 2 little space exlorers will always have a special place in our hearts!
YOU ROCK SPACE AND OUTREACH!
Christchurch is a borough and town in the county of Dorset on the south coast of England. The town lies next Bournemouth in the west and the New Forest lies to the east. Historically and previously within Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974 and is the most easterly borough in the county. It covers an area of 19.5 square miles and has a population of around 45,000, making it the fourth most populous town in the county.
The story of Christchurch Priory goes back to at least the middle of the 11th century, as Domesday says there was a priory of 24 secular canons here in the reign of Edward the Confessor. The Priory is on the site of an earlier church dating from 800 AD. In 1094 a chief minister of William II, Ranulf Flambard, then Dean of Twynham, began the building of a church. Local legend has it that Flambard originally intended the church to be built on top of nearby St. Catherines Hill but during the night, all the building materials were mysteriously transported to the site of the present priory. Although in 1099 Flambard was appointed Bishop of Durham, work continued under his successors, and by about 1150 there was a basic Norman church consisting of a nave, a central tower and a quire extending eastwards from the crossing. It was during this period that another legend originated, that of the miraculous beam, which was to change the name of the town from Twynham to the present day Christchurch.
The Priory is noted for its Miraculous Beam, which attracts people from all over the world. Within the Priory grounds, stands Priory House, a Grade II listed mansion built in 1777 by Gustavus Brander. The Priory is in active use for worship and forms part of the Church of England Diocese of Winchester. The legend of the miraculous beam dates to the early 12th century. The story is that a beam was found to have been cut too short when it was hoisted into place. This would have been embarrassing for the carpenters since the wood was expensive and would be difficult to replace. There was however a mysterious carpenter who had worked and ate alone. The day following the discovery, when the carpenters returned they found the beam was in place and it now fitted. The unknown carpenter was never seen again, and the story came to be that it was Jesus Christ who had intervened. The church became Christ’s Church of Twynham in commemoration of the event. In time the town became Twynham Christchurch and eventually shortened to Christchurch. The beam can be seen today and is located in the Priory’s Ambulatory.
On the 2nd April I visited this popular site on a day which was surprisingly sunny and warm. Therefore it was quite busy with many people walking about enjoying this part of Christchuch and the surrounding areas. Christchurch Castle is located in Christchurch, Dorset, England. The earliest stonework has been dated to 1160 AD. It is a Norman motte ( which is a mound forming the site of a castle or camp ) and bailey castle. The castle's site is inside the old Saxon Burh ( a burh or burg was an Old English fortification or fortified settlement. In the 9th century, raids and invasions by Vikings prompted Alfred the Great to develop a network of burhs and roads to use against such attackers. dominating the River Avon's lowest crossing ). The Constable's House standing adjacent to the castle was added at around 1160 and is a rare and notable example of a Norman domestic dwelling. Today the bailey is home to a bowling green and gardens and the ditch has been filled but parts of the keep and much of the constable's house still stand. The site is managed by English Heritage.
The castle is believed to stand on the site of an earlier wooden fort built in 924 AD following the capture of the town ramparts in 901 AD by Aethelwold King of Wessex and subsequently fortified with a motte by Edward the Elder. After the Norman conquest of 1066 the castle's defences were strengthened by the addition of a ditch and bailey surrounded by a wooden pallisade, sometimes called a stakewall or a paling—is typically a fence or wall made from wooden stakes or tree trunks and used as a defensive structure or enclosure. The wooden fort was eventually replaced with a stone keep. The Norman castle was a strategic defensive structure controlled by the king's constable until King Henry I ( 1100–1135 ) granted it as the caput of a feudal barony to his cousin Richard de Redver, feudal baron of Plympton, Devon. The Saxon defences had been against outside threats such as Viking raiders, however the Norman fortress was more concerned with subduing the local population. It was also a useful base for enforcing the New Forest Laws. The castle controlled the harbour and inland access via the Rivers Avon and River Stour. The earliest masonry has been dated to around 1160, there is documentary evidence of the castle existing in circa 1130. Richard de Redvers is often named has the castle's first builder, although there is little documentary evidence of this and this castle may well have been on the site of the earlier Saxon castle. A great tower was built probably around 1300. The castle again saw action during the Civil War of 1642 to 1651. The Parliamentarians were allowed to take control of the castle in 1644. The Royalists laid siege to it for 3 days, demolishing houses on the corner of Church Street and Castle Street in order to site their cannons. The Royalists were unable to take the castle and Cromwell fearing such a powerful stronghold, ordered it to be slighted in 1652. The castle is now in ruins; a couple of the keep walls remain and the remains of a rectangular moat.
Christchurch Quay, from the quay you can find a ferry that will take you over to Hengistbury Head, also a little further along the Quay there is a ferry boat ( named the Wick Ferry ) that will take you across the river to the pretty village of Wick or even onto the Tuckton tea rooms. This ferry started around 1880 by Eli Miller, and only cost then, a halfpenny to cross the river. Christchurch was founded in the 7th century at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour which flow into Christchurch Harbour. The town was originally named Twynham but became known as Christchurch following the construction of the priory in 1094. The town developed into an important trading port and was fortified in the 9th century. Further defences were added in the 12th century with the construction of a castle which was destroyed by the Parliamentarian Army during the English Civil War. During the 18th and 19th centuries smuggling flourished in Christchurch and became one of the town's most lucrative industries. The town was heavily fortified during Second World War as a precaution against an expected invasion and in 1940 a Airspeed factory was established on the town's airfield which manufactured aircraft for the Royal Air Force.
Smuggling was one of Christchurch's most lucrative industries during the 18th and 19th centuries due to easy access to neighbouring towns and the difficult harbour entrance which acted as a barrier to customs cutters. Many townspeople were involved in this illegal trade and large quantities of wealth were accumulated. In 1784 a confrontation between a gang of local smugglers and Customs and Excise officers led to the Battle of Mudeford in which a Royal Navy officer was killed and a smuggler subsequently executed. Another important industry during this period was the manufacture of fusee chains for watches and clocks. In 1790, Robert Cox began to manufacture fusee chains in workshops in the High Street. By 1793 Cox gained a monopoly on chain production in Britain, supplying watch, clock and chronometer makers throughout the country. In 1845 William Hart opened a similar factory in Bargates. However by 1875 the chains were no longer required due to changes in watch designs and the factories were closed.

Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and applied art, especially the decorative arts, known in different languages by different names: Jugendstil in German, Stile Liberty in Italian, Modernisme in Catalan, etc. In English it is also known as the Modern Style (not to be confused with Modernism and Modern architecture). The style was most popular between 1890 and 1910. It was a reaction against the academic art, eclecticism and historicism of 19th century architecture and decoration. It was often inspired by natural forms such as the sinuous curves of plants and flowers. Other characteristics of Art Nouveau were a sense of dynamism and movement, often given by asymmetry or "whiplash" curves, and the use of modern materials, particularly iron, glass, ceramics and later concrete, to create unusual forms and larger open spaces.
One major objective of Art Nouveau was to break down the traditional distinction between fine arts (especially painting and sculpture) and applied arts. It was most widely used in interior design, graphic arts, furniture, glass art, textiles, ceramics, jewelry and metal work. The style responded to leading 19-century theoreticians, such as French architect Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814–1879) and British art critic John Ruskin (1819–1900). In Britain, it was influenced by William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement. German architects and designers sought a spiritually uplifting Gesamtkunstwerk (“total work of art”) that would unify the architecture, furnishings, and art in the interior in a common style, to uplift and inspire the residents.
The first Art Nouveau houses and interior decoration appeared in Brussels in the 1890s, in the architecture and interior design of houses designed by Paul Hankar, Henry Van de Velde, and especially Victor Horta, whose Hôtel Tassel was completed in 1893. It moved quickly to Paris, where it was adapted by Hector Guimard, who saw Horta's work in Brussels and applied the style for the entrances of the new Paris Metro. It reached its peak at the 1900 Paris International Exposition, which introduced the Art Nouveau work of artists such as Louis Tiffany. It appeared in graphic arts in the posters of Alphonse Mucha, and the glassware of René Lalique and Émile Gallé.
From Belgium and France, it spread to the rest of Europe, taking on different names and characteristics in each country (see Naming section below). It often appeared not only in capitals, but also in rapidly growing cities that wanted to establish artistic identities (Turin and Palermo in Italy; Glasgow in Scotland; Munich and Darmstadt in Germany), as well as in centres of independence movements (Helsinki in Finland, then part of the Russian Empire; Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain).
By 1910, Art Nouveau's influence had faded. It was replaced as the dominant European architectural and decorative style first by Art Deco and then by Modernism
King Tut's name on the first tomb.
His hieroglyphs are the Sun, the Scarab, the 3 lines and the boaty thing (I really don't know what they are but the boat spells "nb" and the 3 lines are a "u" which makes it "nub" or "neb" when it stands alone. Each hieroglyph for itself would be Neb/Nub - Kheperu - Ra/Re) and actuall spell Amun-Tut-Ankh because the name of the deity was usually written first.
His name means "Living Image of Amun" (Amun = the King Of Gods)
