Amsterdam has been called the "Venice of the North" for its more than one hundred kilometres of canals, about 90 islands and 1.500 bridges. The three main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.
Brouwersgracht means "brewers' canal. Construction of the canal belt began here in 1614. The canal gets its name from the many breweries established here in the 17th and 18th centuries, most of which have been converted into trendy warehouse apartments.. This canal has a friendly feel and is known for its picturesque humpback bridges and many houseboats. If you have time, explore a longer stretch of this canal, beyond the Prinsengracht.

De Oranjebrug, bouwjaar 1898. IJzeren ophaalbrug 146, tussen de Binnen Oranjestraat en de Willemsstraat te Amsterdam.
Deze ophaalbrug ontleent haar naam aan de straat waarin zij ligt. De herkomst van deze straatnaam is onzeker. Mogelijk verwijst zij naar het huis ‘De Prins van Oranje’, dat hier vroeger dicht bij de Haarlemmerdijk heeft gestaan.
Vanaf 1612 werd vanaf de Brouwersgracht de grachtengordel in zuidelijke richting gegraven. De gracht dankt sinds 1894 zijn naam aan de vele bierbrouwerijen die in de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw in deze buurt waren te vinden
GGL-Soirée am Freitag, den 24. Juli 2009, ab 21 Uhr mit kurzen Statements und Geschichten zu Günter Gerhard Lange.
U.a. von Wolfgang Baum, Paul Burtscher, Johannes Dörsch, Götz Gorissen, Dieter Hofrichter, Arnold Ihlenfeldt, Victor Malsy, Gudrun Pawelke, Sigi Ramoser, Kirsten Solveig Schneider, Eckehart SchumacherGebler, Hans-Jörg Stulle, Irmgard Voigt. Für nicht nur musikalische Begleitung sorgte Adrian Lacour am Flügel.
Wenige waren mutiger, haben mehr ermutigt, wenige waren und sind so modern und offen im Denken, kaum einer ist so deutlich wie es Günter Gerhard Lange gewesen ist: Laues war seine Sache nicht. Schon immer hat er über die Grenzen geschaut, hat Schrift und Typografie als Kultur phänomen betrachtet, immer im Kontext mit Malerei, Architektur, Musik, Fotografie und Literatur. In seiner Tätigkeit als künstlerischer Leiter der Berthold AG, in seinen brillianten Vorträgen wie auch in seiner beeindruckenden Lehrtätigkeit hat er sich für die herausragende Qualität von Schrift und Typografie engagiert. Häufig hat er dabei Entwürfe junger Gestalter gegenüber den Etablierten verteidigt. Wichtiger als das vielleicht typografisch »Richtige« waren ihm die Haltung der Entwerfer und die sichtbare Sensibilität gegenüber dem Inhalt. Hier sparte er weder mit Lob noch mit Tadel.
Was liegt also näher, als die diesjährige Eröffnung der 55. TDC-SHOW, der Ausstellung der ausgezeichneten Werke des Wettbewerbs des Type Directors Club of New York, GGL zu widmen. Und die ausgezeichneten Werke mit seinen Maximen zu prüfen: »Wir müssen uns in der Kreativität ständig selbst überholen, wir dürfen, sollen, ja müssen eingefahrene Gleise verlassen und uns auch dem Experiment öffnen. Kurz, wir sollen innovativ, wenn nötig provokativ, unserer Überzeugung adäquaten Ausdruck verleihen – neu und anders oder/und besser als bisher. Merke: Das einzig Konstante ist der Wechsel.«

quittant Port-Vendres
20 / 09 / 2010
Je n'étais pas très bien placée, juste eu le temps de me garer rapidement, pas celui d'escalader le talus...
Port-Vendres possède plusieurs ports
* un port de pêche,
* un port de plaisance,
* un port de commerce, principalement fruitier
(il a aussi accueilli des lignes passagers)
[ Le port de commerce
Port continental français le plus proche de l'Afrique du nord, avec des coûts de passage portuaire compétitifs, disposant d'une main d'œuvre fiable et qualifiée et d'installations spécialisées, Port-Vendres bénéficie d'avantages de premier ordre pour établir des lignes de cabotages en Méditerranée et traiter les trafics de fruits et légumes en provenance d'Afrique du nord et d'Amérique du Sud. De plus, la proximité du marché international Saint Charles, première plateforme française de distribution, fait de Port-Vendres le port méditerranéen le mieux placé pour l'entrée des fruits et légumes dans la communauté européenne. Les infrastructures de communications : autoroutes, gare de Perpignan-Roussillon avec un T.G.V " fruits et légumes ", permettent l'acheminement des produits vers les grands centres de consommation dans les délais les plus courts.
Chaque semaine, 3 cargos refrigérés ou porte-conteneurs sont attendus à quai pour débarquer les marchandises (fruits et légumes en provenance du Maroc ou de l'Afrique de l'ouest). Du cœur de ville, on peut voir manœuvrer ces gros navires au milieu du port. Le port de commerce peut accueillir des bateaux longs de 155 mètres et avec un tirant d’eau de 8 mètres. Impressionnant… ! ](extrait du site officiel de Port-Vendres )

The North American B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engined medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. It was used by many Allied air forces, in every theater of World War II, as well as many other air forces after the war ended, and saw service across four decades.
The B-25 was named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. By the end of its production, nearly 10,000 B-25s in numerous models had been built. These included a few limited variations, such as the United States Navy's and Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber and the United States Army Air Forces' F-10 photo reconnaissance aircraft.
The B-25 first gained fame as the bomber used in the 18 April 1942 Doolittle Raid, in which 16 B-25Bs led by the legendary Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle attacked mainland Japan, four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The mission gave a much-needed lift in spirits to the Americans, and alarmed the Japanese who had believed their home islands were inviolable by enemy troops. While the amount of actual damage done was relatively minor, it forced the Japanese to divert troops for the home defense for the remainder of the war. The raiders took off from the carrier USS Hornet and successfully bombed Tokyo and four other Japanese cities without loss. However, 15 subsequently crash-landed en route to recovery fields in Eastern China. These losses were the result of the task force being spotted by Japanese fishing vessels forcing the bombers to take off 170 mi (270 km) early, fuel exhaustion, stormy nighttime conditions with zero visibility, and lack of electronic homing aids at the recovery bases. Only one landed intact; it came down in the Soviet Union, where its five-man crew was interned and the aircraft confiscated. Of the 80 aircrew, 69 survived their historic mission and eventually made it back to American lines.

Here's another version of the PHP (for Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj - First Croatian Pistol), the MV-9, made in the early 1990's in Croatia. The MV's are often described as a love child of a Walther P38 and a Beretta 92, as it has features of both. The barrel locking system is the tilting wedge with a "push button" used by both the Beretta and the Walther. It has the Walther's exposed barrel and the Beretta's high capacity magazine. The MV-9 seen here is somewhat shorter than the MV-17, as the muzzle is almost flush with the front of the slide.
In spite of the fact that it's a first attempt and that there was a particularly nasty war going on at the time, the pistol is fairly well made. It has the checkerboard Croatian crest stamped on the top of the slide, just behind the exposed portion of the barrel.
This one shows some use as evidenced by dings, scratches and honest wear, compared to the MV17, which came to me in nearly pristine, unissued condition.
The MV pistols were made by the arsenal which later became HS Arms, manufacturer of the HS2000, sold in the U. S. as the Springfield Armory XD series.

Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (26 August 1740 – 26 June 1810) and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (6 January 1745 – 2 August 1799) were the inventors of the montgolfière-style hot air balloon, globe aérostatique. The brothers succeeded in launching the first manned ascent, carrying Étienne into the sky. Later, in December 1783, in recognition of their achievement, their father Pierre was elevated to the nobility and the hereditary appellation of de Montgolfier by King Louis XVI of France.

Cornucopia di Gamberi alla vaniglia malgascia con crema piccante di zucchine
Ingredienti per due persone:
200 gr di code di gamberi
1 cm di baccello di vaniglia
olio extravergine del Garda
2 fogli di pasta fresca velo Giovanni Rana
olio per friggere
2 zucchine piccole
1 cipollotto
peperoncino
zenzero
pesteda
fiori d'acacia per decorare
Tagliare a metà il cm di bacello di vaniglia, raschiare i semi, metterli in una ciotola e mescolarli ad due cucchiai di delicato olio d'oliva del Garda, salare e pepare.
Sgusciare i gamberi, togliere il budellino dell'intestino e metterli a marinare nell'olio aromatizzato per un'oretta.
Mondare e lavare le zucchine e il cipollotto, tagliarli a rondelle, metterli in un recipiente adatto al microonde, cospargere di zenzero tritato o in polvere, peroncino, un pizzico di pesteda e sale.
Mi sembra che con il piccante ci siamo!
Mettere il recipiente coperto in microonde e far cuocere alla massima potenza per 4/5 minuti.
Con un frullatore ad immersione ridurre il tutto a salsa omogenea.
Dividere a metà i fogli di pasta fresca, avvolgerli attorno a dei coni d'acciaio e friggerli in olio caldo stando attenti che non si chiuda l'imboccatura della cornucopia, altrimenti non togliete più il cono d'acciaio
Sgocciolarli su carta da cucina e salarli.
Da ultimo rosolare in una nocciola di burro con un paio di rametti teneri di timo i gamberi togliendoli dalla marinata.
Mi sono dimenticata il Calvados ma eran buoni anche così.
Disporre tutto artisticamente su un piatto e servire.

La avefría europea (Vanellus vanellus) es una especie de ave Charadriiforme de la familia Charadriidae. Es un ave muy fácil de ver en España de octubre a marzo, durante los meses más fríos, de donde deriva su nombre común.
Características
Es de colores vivos: vientre blanco, pecho negro y parte superior de las alas de color verdiazul. Además tiene un característico penacho en lo alto de la cabeza. Al volar se distingue por su batir de alas lento, semejante al de una mariposa. Visto desde abajo cuando vuela se distinguen dos franjas de color blanco y negro. Mide de 28 a 31 cm. de pico a cola.
Comportamiento
Gregaria, suele criar en grupos, en tierras de labranza y campos extensos. Conocida en algunos lugares de Castilla y León como francesina. También se la conoce como "pibi" por el característico sonido que emite.
British Pathe Newsreel Clip from the 1920s Camps Bay Tram Ride
A tram ride described in an old Cape Town guide as being “without doubt the most beautiful in the world”, the trams brought all the peninsula to Camps Bay to turn it into the region’s favourite holiday resort.
The construction was authorized by special Act of Parliament passed on 20 October 1899.
The Camps Bay Tramways Company encouraged people to travel to Camps Bay – of course by tram – by providing amusements. These included an amusement park with a switchback railway, paddling and swimming pools, a promenade and refreshment pavilion. Competitions such as athletics and building sand castles were organized.
The first tramline between Sea Point and Camps Bay was opened on 9 November 1901 (the birthday of King Edward VII). There was a fleet of 17 long, low chocolate and cream coloured single decker cars. Seven had open sides seating 65 passengers. Seven had a small glassed-in screen in the centre seating only 54. They all had a powerful headlight switched on at night which threw out an eerie sweeping beam across the then deserted slopes.
From the car sheds and power station in Camps Bay a second line was laid from Cape Town to Camps Bay over Kloof Nek. This opened on 9 November 1902, with a press preview on the 8th. The cost for land and construction was £200,000.
Passengers could now ride a circular route around the mountain. The 12 miles round trip took just over 40 minutes.
There were also three freight trams. Two were open while a covered tram took coal to the power station and delivered Camps Bay beach sand to builders in Cape Town.
Both these lines were considerable feats of engineering as the cars had to safely negotiate steep gradients.
An added difficulty was the fact that the whole of the work was carried out during the progress of the Boer War. Not only did this prevent easy shipping facilities but serious trouble arose from the difficulty of obtaining adequate labour. Despite this, the nine miles of difficult track work was completed without serious delay.
Conditions of some of the native labourers are described by Gwynne Shrire in her book Camps Bay, an Illustrated History. She quotes a Lawrence Richardson who visited Cape Town in 1902 on a fact finding mission for the Quakers (the Religious Society of Friends). She quotes:-
This morning we have been to see a “native location” a couple of miles from here (at Camps Bay). About 200 Kaffirs working on a tramline are living in little huts made of corrugated iron. They were “raw” or red blanket Kaffirs, i.e. uncivilized. They come from various parts of the country. On Sundays and holidays they leave off their European clothes and go back to their blankets. We were told that they earn up to 4 shillings per day and as they live on 4 shillings per week they soon save; when a man has saved about ten pounds he goes home to live in idleness till it is spent. They are generally orderly unless they get liquor.
In fact the main objective of the tramway was not to make money by providing transport but as a means of opening up Oranjezicht and Camps Bay in order to sell land for development of private residences.
In 1898 a syndicate was formed by building contractor Samuel Solomon Mills, engineer George Paling and others. They bought all the freehold land in Camps Bay for £33,000 and also obtained the tract of “perpetual quit-rent” land originally granted to the one time Attorney General Sir Anthony Oliphant in 1839. To guarantee adequate supplies of water, the syndicate leased Oudekraal, the area to the south of it and a farm at Oranjezicht.
On 6 May 1899 a group of mining houses and financiers who already had shares in Cape Tramways registered a company called Cape Marine Suburbs which purchased land on the False Bay and Atlantic coasts.
The companies purchased vast tracts of land including much of Camps Bay. After the Jameson Raid, Cape Town was inundated by refugees from the Transvaal. However, the depression following the end of the Anglo-Boer War foiled these development plans. It is estimated that in 1902 some 27,000 people left Cape Town so Camps Bay continued primarily as a venue for recreation.
With little “commuter traffic” the trams remained mainly a tourist attraction.
In 1924 the Cape Town Tramways started its own bus service between Clifton, Camps Bay and Bakoven and the SA Railways ran a bus service to Camps Bay and Bakoven. The trams had proved less profitable than hoped and land prices remained low.
The last tram finally ceased running on 16 February 1930. Usable parts of Camps Bay trams were used to build “new” Cape Town tramcars.
In the next few years, the power station chimney was demolished. Brighton Court was erected in 1937 as an apartment block of ten units on the site of the running sheds. The council removed all the tram rails and the overhead lines and remade the road to provide a circular motor route.
Route of the trams
It must be recalled that for only part of the distance the trams ran on the Company’s own tracks. The remainder of the journey was on the tracks of the Cape Town Tramway Companies. This enabled passengers to travel on an uninterrupted journey from Adderley Street to Camps Bay and back to Adderley Street.
The spectacular line from Kloof Nek to Camps Bay was on an unnamed track afterwards called Camps Bay Drive. This was intended exclusively for trams. It only became a public road for cars after 1930.
Early on, the route in the Cape Town area was altered*, so for most of its history the tram route was as set out below.
Starting in central Adderley Street, the trams proceeded up Wale Street and Buitengracht to the corner of Burnside Road. Here the line joined the Company’s own track up Kloof Nek Road and over Kloof Nek. Descending into Camps Bay, the terminus was in front of the Rotunda Hotel in Victoria Road.
Continuing back to Cape Town, one could either return the way one came or go on through Sea Point along Kloof Road which joined the Cape Town Tramway Company’s track on Main Road Sea Point at the junction of Regent Road.
At the Cape Town end, the trams proceeded down Somerset Road and Waterkant, turning briefly into Long Street and down Strand Street back to Adderley Street. Trams coming the other direction ran down Long Street to Strand Street and so to Adderley Street.
*Because of congestion on Kloof Street Cape Town, in 1905 the Cape Town Tramways built a new line in the Buitengracht from Wale Street to Burnside Road and from this time the Camps Bay trams used Buitengracht to reach Kloof Nek Road.
The Electrical Engineer magazine of 23 May 1902 describes some of the technical problems of the route as follows:-
Commencing at the Round Church, Sea Point (described elsewhere as a beautiful round, thatched Congregational Church chapel built in 1878 which was afterwards torn down by the Municipality), where connection is made with the Cape Tramway, the line commences on an easy ascent (on what is now called Kloof Road) but though gradual it has reached at the end of the first mile an altitude of nearly 300 feet and grades of 1 in 12 or 8.33 per cent have been encountered. Continuing southward, Upper Clifton is reached and at this point a magnificent view is obtained of Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles. Continuing in a scarcely perceptible descent, the line passes the Old Toll House (the site was at the junction of Victoria Drive and what is now Lower Kloof Road). At Camps Bay the track leaves the roadway and continues its course over land purchased by the (tramway) company. Some three quarters of a mile distant stands the power house (now Theatre on the Bay).
After passing the powerhouse the tramway leaves the existing roadway and is laid over the private estate of a local land company, following a new road way which has recently been made for the purpose, the most southerly point of the tramway is reached at (according to the journal) Oudekraal. Here the line diverges in a north easterly direction and after encountering the heaviest grades at the system the highest altitude is reached at Kloof Nek.
At this point, some 800 feet above sea level, there is obtained “one of the finest views in the Colony”.
To give some idea of the difficulties of construction, the journal observes that the average grade from Kloof Nek “to the terminus at Burnside Road, a distance of little more than 1.25 miles, is slightly steeper than 1 in 12. Severe though this may be, it is exceeded in other places, where grades of 1 in 9 are encountered for short distances.
The writer observed that the laying of the permanent way involved more than usual difficulties. It called for not only a considerable length of new roadway but more than 75 per cent of the existing roads had to be widened and graded. Blasting operations on a large scale were necessary. Besides making provision for carrying off the heavy rains by means of capacious drains and culverts, massive retaining walls had to be constructed consisting of dry stonework laid in courses. In places these were of exceptional strength, measuring from 6ft to 10 ft thick at the base and from 20 ft to 25 ft in height crossing the deep sluits of water-courses on the estate.
The magazine also gives considerable technical detail. The gauge of the tramway was 4 ft 8.5 ins, the same as the Cape Town tramways.
The complete magazine can be found at South African National Library in Queen Victoria Street where it can be read and photocopied but not taken out as this is a reference library only.
In “Track and Trackless” it is explained that because the main route was exceptionally steep and sharply curved, the usual overhead trolley system would have been impractical. An impossible number of poles and line fittings would have been required to keep the trolley wire above the centre of the track. Fortunately, a new type of swiveling trolley head had been invented which allowed the trolley pole to swing out while remaining fully engaged with the power supply cable.
The book also describes the exceptional braking system essential for tramcars travelling up and down such steep gradients.
Tramway Power Station
What is now Theatre on the Bay began its life as a power station and tram sheds. Its tall red chimney served as a barometer. Smoke veering seawards announced the South-Easter wind and fine weather. Smoke going towards the mountain meant the wintery North-Western.
Camps Bay residents could purchase unlimited amounts of electricity for 5 shillings a month: no meters. However, when the last tram came home around midnight, the engines were shut down and the lights went out.
The power station was closed in 1926 with the boilers being retained to heat the water for the swimming bath and power was supplied to Camps Bay from Cape Town.
The covered sea water swimming bath measuring 100 ft x 50 ft had been opened in 1904 opposite the power station. It was fitted with electric light and with water heated to 72 degrees. It was forced to close in April 1974 as the heating apparatus was inoperable and the building unsafe.
The site of the pool can be made out opposite the theatre – all the buildings were demolished in the early Sixties and the area is now a small park.
War Memorial
The park in which the war memorial stands is where ashes and clinkers from the furnaces of the power station used to be dumped.
Stone Cottages
Stone cottages for employees were built in Lower Geneva Drive – today they are one of the sites in Camps Bay protected from demolition or exterior alteration. There are
seven cottages, four of stone, three of brick.

Noel Kempff Mercado National Park is a national park in the north-eastern portion of the Santa Cruz Department, Province of José Miguel de Velasco, Bolivia, on the border with Brazil.
The date of its foundation was on June 28, 1979. Its original name was "Parque Nacional Huanchaca", but was then changed to "Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado" in honor of the late pioneering biologist and Bolivian conservationist Prof. Noel Kempff Mercado, for his research and discoveries in the Park - and also in memory of his tragic death in the area; in 1988 Mercado was murdered here by drug traffickers after stumbling across a secret cocaine laboratory high on the Huanchaca plateau.
Noel Kempff Mercado National Park spans 15,234 km² (5,880 mi²) in the northeastern corner of the Bolivian department of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. One of the most biologically diverse areas in the world, Bolivia is known for its diversity in climate, fauna and flora. Weather in the general area is very hot and humid throughout the year, with abundant rainfall reaching roughly 1500 mm.
(Wikipedia)
-----
Practically only accessible by chartered private small aeroplane, Noel Kempff Mercado remains one of the least accessible national parks in the world. It tooks more than two hours to get to the park from Santa Cruz by chartered light aircraft; the journey itself offers marvelous views over tropical dry forest all around.
Tondo - Smokey Mountain - Manila - Philippine
De 'Smokey Mountain' van weleer is nu een grote rokende puinhoop. In de nabije omgeving zijn er op en rond de rivier kleine houten optrekjes ... de Filippijnse overheid is volop 'low cost houses' aan het inrichten ... maar dit kan nog enige jaren duren ...
Smokey Mountain is a large landfill in Manila, Philippines. Consisting of over two million tonnes of waste, it has operated for more than 40 years and is known for decomposing at such high temperatures that it will catch fire, a fact from which the location derives its name. Indeed, fires at Smokey Mountain have caused many deaths.
Smokey Mountain has a large squatter community, and it is estimated that 30,000 people live near the site, and make their living from picking through the rubbish at Smokey Mountain. In 1993, a joint venture agreement between the National Housing Authority (NHA) and R-II Builders Inc. (RBI) was made to build a low-cost housing project at Smokey Mountain. On 15 August 2007, this agreement was declared valid by the Philippine Supreme Court.
Projects have been enforced by the Government and non-government organizations to allow urban resettlement sites for the slum dwellers. According to a UN-Habitat report, over 20 million people in the Philippines live in slums, and in the city of Manila alone, 50% of the over 11 million inhabitants live in slum areas.

View Large and watch them scream
Crested Screamer aka Southern Screamer (Chauna Torquata)
Living up to its name, a crested screamer can be heard more than a mile away. Imagine the noise created when large social groups gather! They inhabit the open landscape of South American grasslands and marshes. The environment is harsh with long droughts and dust storms alternating with torrential rains and cold winters. These large birds reach a length of 75cm high.
Duck Cousins
Although their nearest relatives are ducks and geese, a quick look at these screamers reveals some obvious distinctions. Screamer feet are only slightly webbed with long toes adapted to walking over floating plants rather than swimming. The leading edge of each wing sports a pair of two-inch spurs, used against rivals and predators.
Dual Parent Families
Screamers mate for life and both males and females actively participate in building the nest, incubating eggs and raising chicks.
The focus locked on nicely for this one. Unfortunately, the chosen aperture meant that the background is not blurry enough and I really find those leaves distracting. I'm still on that learning curve!
The warthog or common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus, "African Lens-Pig") is a wild member of the pig family that lives in Africa. The common name comes from the four large wart-like protrusions found on the head of the warthog, which serve the purpose of defense when males fight. They are the only widely recognised species in their genus, though some authors divide them into two species. On that classification, P. africanus is the common (or northern) warthog and P. aethiopicus is the desert warthog, also known as the Cape or Somali warthog.
The male is called a boar, the female a sow, and the young piglets. A group is called a sounder. Warthogs are fast runners and quite capable jumpers. They will often run with their tails in the air. Despite poor eyesight, warthogs have a good sense of smell, which they use for locating food, detecting predators and recognizing other animals. Although capable of fighting, and males will aggressively fight each other during mating season, a primary defense is to flee by means of fast sprinting. The main warthog predators are humans, lions, leopards, crocodiles, and hyenas. Cheetahs are also capable of catching small warthogs. Warthogs have been observed allowing banded mongooses to groom them to remove ticks.

Clouds moved in on Wednesday afternoon, making views of Crater Lake sparing, at best. I was a bit disappointed, as I really wanted to get another chance at a sunset shot from the north side of the lake. As I was driving back to camp, though, I came across this. With everyone else up on the rim looking at the lake, I got to enjoy this scene for 30 minutes or longer with not one other person around.

Historical plaque near the convergence of Bay Street and Davenport Road, just south of Jesse Ketchum Public School. Toronto, Canada. Summer evening, 2022. Pentax K1 II.
A biography of Jesse Ketchum from: www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=4519
KETCHUM, JESSE, tanner, politician, and philanthropist; b. 31 March 1782 at Spencertown, Columbia County, N.Y., fifth son of Jesse Ketchum and Mollie Robbins; m. first Ann Love (d. 1829), by whom he had three sons and three daughters, and secondly Mary Ann Rubergall, by whom he had three children; d. 7 Sept. 1867 at Buffalo, N.Y.
Following the death of his mother when he was six years old, Jesse Ketchum was taken into the home of a tanner in Spencertown where he probably learned the tanning trade. Unhappy in his foster home because his efforts to attend school were frustrated, Ketchum ran away at the age of 17 to join his brother, Seneca*, who had come to Upper Canada in 1796 and was farming on Yonge St north of York (Toronto).
On the outbreak of the War of 1812 some recent arrivals from the United States left Upper Canada rather than serve in the militia or swear allegiance to the crown. One such individual, John Van Zandt, an American tanner at York, was obliged to dispose of his property at once, and no doubt at a sacrifice. Ketchum was the purchaser. Like other merchants, he profited greatly from the wartime demand for supplies for the troops. A shrewd businessman, Ketchum invested his profits in town property in York, and also bought and sold farms in the county of York.
At the beginning of the war Ketchum joined the 3rd Regiment of York militia, and was among those paroled after the capitulation of York to the Americans in 1813. Nevertheless, his loyalty came under suspicion during the brief American occupation, and he was one of those whom Attorney General John Beverley Robinson was subsequently directed to have arrested and tried if, upon inquiry, that action seemed justified. No arrest occurred, but the episode no doubt had a lasting effect upon Ketchum.
Ketchum was a public spirited and generous man. He subscribed to the rebuilding of the Don bridges after the war; he became a member of the Society for the Relief of Strangers in Distress (renamed the Society for the Relief of the Sick and Destitute in 1828); and he was on the board of health. After the passage in 1816 of the Common Schools Act, which provided legislative support for administrative costs but not for the erection of school buildings, Ketchum subscribed to the building fund of the first common school in York. It was completed in 1818, and he was elected by the townspeople to its board of trustees. In 1832 he provided at his own expense for an infant school for children under seven.
Ketchum first became opposed to the Family Compact and sympathetic to the radical party in 1820 as a result of John Strachan’s involvement with the common school of York; Strachan persuaded Lieutenant Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland* to withhold funds for the school, and, when the elected trustees resigned, was successful in replacing their choice of teacher, Thomas Appleton, with his own Anglican nominee, Joseph Spragg*. A second factor was the clergy reserves question. Although a Methodist himself, Ketchum was no narrow sectarian. He attended St James’ Anglican Church when it was the only church in York, and, with gifts of land and money, he helped to establish a Methodist chapel in 1818, as well as a secessionist Presbyterian church (later Knox Presbyterian Church) in 1820. He taught Sunday school in the Methodist church and took a keen interest in Sunday schools of all denominations. In 1823 he founded the York Sunday School Union to establish libraries for children attending these institutions. This broad-minded man was chosen chairman of a public meeting called in December 1827 to protest against Strachan’s famous “Ecclesiastical Chart” and his efforts to secure the clergy reserves wholly for the Church of England. Ketchum’s name headed the list of those from the Home District who, in 1828, petitioned for a liberalization of the charter of King’s College. In 1831 another petition was drawn up by Ketchum and Egerton Ryerson* and signed by “Friends of Religious Liberty,” asking the imperial parliament to place all denominations in the province on a footing of equality and to appropriate the clergy reserves to general education and public works.
By 1828 Ketchum had become well known as an opponent of the Family Compact. In that year the county of York elected him and William Lyon Mackenzie to the assembly. Ketchum held his seat until 1834, when he declined to run again, disliking the hurly-burly of politics. During these years he had so much influence with Reformers, supported them so fully, and worked so closely with Mackenzie for constitutional and other reforms that his opponents called him “King Jesse” and Mackenzie “King Jesse’s jackal.” Ketchum opposed the expulsions of Mackenzie from the assembly, did his best to have him reinstated, and in the process suffered in the York riots of 1832.
Ketchum’s withdrawal from political life in 1834 did not mean withdrawal from public affairs. He helped to organize the Canadian Alliance Society, founded in December 1834 to further the demand for reform, and he was an active member of the society’s vigilance committee which collected much of the material Mackenzie included in The seventh report . . . on grievances (1835). When in 1836 Sir Francis Bond Head* dismissed the Executive Council and replied rudely to delegates presenting a petition of public protest, Ketchum helped to draw up the indignant and sarcastic response of the Reformers, and he and James Lesslie* were delegated to deliver it to the lieutenant governor. Ketchum continued to hope to secure reforms by peaceful means, though talk of rebellion began in 1837. He did not attend the meeting of Reformers at John Doel*’s brewery on 31 July 1837, because he knew that Mackenzie would propose a coup d’état. He refused to sign the resulting declaration of Toronto Reformers, broke with his former political associates, and took no part in the rebellion.
Soon after the rebellion Ketchum, though he remained in Toronto, moved his tannery to the outskirts of Buffalo, a location which gave his business wider prospects and which provided security for his son, William, who had fled Upper Canada in the aftermath of the rebellion. Moreover, the Toronto site had now grown too valuable for use as a tannery. Ketchum invested his profits from the Buffalo tannery in nearby farm lands which, as the city expanded, became very valuable. He had many interests to keep him in Toronto, including large real estate activities. In 1845, however, he decided to turn over his property in Toronto to the children of his first marriage and, with his second family, move to Buffalo where his extensive real estate developments now required his presence.
In Ketchum Toronto lost a generous citizen who had given building lots to his employees and who, before leaving for Buffalo, secured employment for them. He was vice-president of the York Temperance Society, founded in 1830, and built two halls for the society’s meetings. He was a founder of the Upper Canada Bible Society in 1828, and of the Upper Canada Tract Society established in 1832. He also endowed these societies with funds to enable them to present prize books annually to school children and to the Sunday schools. He was a founder, in 1830, of the Home District Savings Bank which served the town’s working class, and two years later helped to organize the York Mechanics’ Institute. In Buffalo Ketchum continued his benevolences to churches, schools, and temperance societies and he made annual gifts of books to the school children. He died in 1867. On the day of his funeral the schools of the city were closed in his honour.
This is a detail (re-arranged by me) of the original by Chicago artist, John Bakker, in a solo exhibition of his recent work (in the Hansen Gallery, Wheaton College, Illinois, Feb-March 2010), that invites audience engagement, and, if desired, re-arrangement, and thus reinterpretation.
Bakker, discovering that he is only the first interpreter of his own work, has thus taken a further step than is normative, by intentionally inviting his audience to engage with, and, if desired, re-arrange, and thus reinterpret his work.

المهندسة الفلسطينية أماني الغريب سفيرة فوق العادة في أوروبا
حاورها: محمد كريزم - فلسطين - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "
wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=9961
عرفت في مجتمعها الفلسطيني بالشابة النشيطة والمثابرة التي تعمل طوعاً دون كلل أو ملل في تقديم الخدمات للجمهور، وبلورت شخصيتها المهنية الناجحة في عملها كمهندسة بارعة، وتمايزت بنشاطها في مجال حقوق الشباب والمرأة، وظهرت كفاءتها القيادية في نشاطها السياسي كمتحدثة لبقة ومؤثرة.
هي المهندسة الفلسطينية أماني الغريب والقيادية في الحزب السويدي Feminist Initiatives التي ترشحت عنه لتمثيله في البرلمان الأوروبي، وتكون بذلك حققت طموحاً كبيراً، لتصبح سفيرة فلسطينية فوق العادة في القارة الأوربية.
" وكالة أخبار المرأة " حاورتها وفيما يلي نصه:
* أماني الغريب من تكون؟
ناشطة فلسطينية من قلب مدينة غزة ولدت وتربت وترعرعت فيها، حاولت جاهدة النضال والكفاح من أجل قضايا مؤمنة فيها إيمان تام اهمها حقوق الإنسان وحقوق المرأة تحديداَ وكيفية معالجة تلك الإنتهاكات في ظل الظروف السياسية السائدة، كذلك عملت في شركة خاصة كبيرة وكنت المهندسة الوحيدة التي تدير كافة أقسامها فيما يتعلق بمجال الكمبيوتر، وعملت كمديرة مشاريع في إحدى جامعات غزة حيث كانت إنطلاقتي الحقيقية نحو العمل المجتمعي ونسج علاقات عمل مع جهات دولية التي تكللت بتكليفي كمديرة لبرنامج الصحة الجنسية والإنجابيةhttp://wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=9961 المعمول به في دول لبنان وفلسطين.وزفي وفي عام 2012 سافرت لدولة ايسلاندا للمشاركة في برنامج دراسات الجندر الذي تم تنفيذه بالتعاون مابين وزارة الشؤون الخارجية الايسلندية وجامعة ايسلاندا وقد كنت الطالبة العربية الوحيدة في البرنامج وصادف وجودي هناك حدوث الحرب الأخيرة على قطاع غزة مما دفعني للقيام بالعديد من الأنشطة الداعمة للقضية الفلسطينية والتي تمثلت في عرض لقرار الأمم المتحدة 1325 والذي ينص على حماية النساء المدنيات خلال الحرب وبعدها وعدم تطبيق هذا القرار من ناحية اسرائيل في كافة حروبها ضد شعبنا الفلسطيني ، وقد كان هذا العرض بوزارة الخارجية الايسلندية ذاتها .
* اين أثمرت جهودك المميزة على المستوى الأوروبي في شرح قضية الشعب الفلسطيني والتخفيف من معاناته؟
- يكفيني شرف أن مشاركاتي وحضوري على مستوى فعاليات أوروبية وغير أوروبية رفع اسم فلسطين ، فقد كنت في عام 2013 ضمن أصغر 100 قائد حول العالم تم اختيارهم من خلال مؤسسة امريكية تعني بحقوق المرأة وحقوق الإنسان وقد كنت امثل فلسطين ورفع اسم فلسطين من خلال تتويجي لهذا المؤتمر، خلال المؤتمر كنت العربية الوحيدة من شمال أفريقيا والشرق الأوسط التي قامت بمقابلة ميلنيدا بيل جيتس زوجة رجل الأعمال الشهير بيل جيتس أغنى أغنياء العالم خلال مقابلتها مع 8 قادة شباب من القادة الذين توجوا للحديث عن كيفية دعم أمور وشئون المرأة واستراتيجيات دعمهم ، تم توزيع خلال هذا المؤتمر الضخم الذي حضره 4500 مشارك ، كتيب شمل أحلام القادة الشباب ، وقد كان حلمي أن تنال نسائنا الفلسطينيات ولادة امنة ضمن رعاية طبية وصحيه سليمة حيث انني شرحت كيفية ترك بعض النساء على الحواجز لساعات طويلة اثناء ذهابهن للمشفى سواء لمتابعه الحمل او للولادة مما يؤدي لفقدان الجنين وشرحت وحشية هذا الاجراء وكيفية تأثيره وتهديد حياه الام والطفل جسديا ونفسيا وشرحت ان هذا يجعل جنود الاحتلال اكثر وحشية سواء ضد الشعب الفلطيني وايضا داخل مجتمعهم المدني وذلك لتعودهم على ممارسة هذه الافعال المريعه ضد المدنيين على الحواجز .
في شهر ابريل2013 شاركت في مؤتمر لاناليندا في فرنسا بمدينة مرسيليا تحدثت عن واقع قضايا المرأة الفلسطينية والعربية وشاركت بحضور ورشة عمل البنك الدولي لتدشين تقريرهم لسنه 2013 عن واقع النساء في المنطقة العربية (شمال افريقيا والشرق الأوسط) كان الحضور فقط يتم بدعوة شخصية وخلال الورشة شاركت بالتعليق على ضرورة تغيير بعض الاستراتيجيات المستخدمة لدعم قضايا المرأة وذلك بوجوب النزول للميدان ومقابلة النساء والعاملين بالمجال للتعرف على احتياجات النساء الحقيقية.
في شهر يونيو 2013 شاركت في برنامج دراسات السلام في المدرسة الصيفية العالمية بجامعة اوسلو خلال مشاركتي في هذ البرنامج تحدثت عن القضية الفلسطينية وقابلت بعض الشخصيات السياسية الهامة بالنرويج التي كانت تأتي للنقاش مع مشاركين برنامج دراسات السلام حول قضايا السلام ، تم دعوتي لالقاء محاضرتين بالمنتدي العالمي للطلاب بالمدرسة الصيفية ووصفت بالمحاضرة الاولي سياسات توزيع الهوية في فلسطين وقصة الفلسطينيين مع الهويات الملونة شارحة بذلك حال فلسطين منذ الاحتلال وسياسة الاحتلال بمنح هويات مختلفة لاهل القدس والضفة وغزة وكانت حتى تختلف بالالوان وتبعات اختلاف هذه الهويات من السماح او منع دخول الاراضي وتاثير هذه القضية على حركة المواطنين بغزة والضفة والقدس .
المحاضرة الثانية كانت عن نضال نسائنا الفلسطينيات ومشاركتهن السياسية وسميت المحاضرة بورود من فلسطين اعني بذلك نسائنا.
في اكتوبر 2013 باليوم العالمي للناشطين دعيت من خلال مؤسسة ضخمة سويدية لالقاء خطاب عن تاريخ الحركات النسائية في فلسطين . باستوكهلم عاصمة السويد.
في بداية نوفمبر 2013 دعيت من خلال منتدى الناشطين بمدينة يتبوري بالسويد للحديث عن قضيتنا الفلسطينية وتاريخ النزاع على الارض وقمت بعرض فيلم يشرح معاناة الشعب الفلسطيني وسياسة التهجير منذ بدايتها وحتى هذه اللحظة.
في فبراير شاركت بمؤتمر لمؤسسة اناليندا باستكهلم بالسويد وتحدثت عن انعاكاسات الربيع العربي على المراة في فلسطين وسوريا ومصر.
والقيت كلمة بنفس الموضوع في مقر مجموعة تابعه للامم المتحدة بيتبوري بالسويد.
هذه كانت اخر اعمالي لنصرة القضية ولكن هناك حدث بارز قمت به في 2012 يوم الاعتراف بفلسطين بالامم المتحدة وهو القاء خطاب بايسلاندا بمشاركة وزير الخارجية الايسلندي وقد نوهت لان اليوم وفي متل هذا اليوم تتردد الامم المتحدة بالاعتراف بدول فلسطين وهذا شيء غريب رغم انها وبنفس هذا الشهر ولكن من عام 1946 هي من سحب الاعتراف بدولة فلسطين وتحدثت عن ميراثنا الوطني وكيفية توريثنا لمفاتيح بيوتنا وحلمنا الذي يكبر يوما بعد يوم بعودتنا لديارنا.
وعرفت عن نفسي بأنني ناشطة ولكنني اعيد تعريف نفسي الان لكم كفلسطينية لاجئة هاجر جدي من بلدتنا الأصلية إلى قطاع غزة حاله كحال كل فلسطيني اضطر لترك أرضه مجبرا .
* حديثنا عن تطلعاتك وطموحاتك في الترشح للبرلمان الأوروبي؟ وما هي الدولة التي تمثليها في هذا البرلمان؟
- انا فلسطينية احمل الجواز الفلسطيني أقيم بمملكة النرويج ، مرشحة عن حزب سياسي سويدي اسمه Feminist Initiative بشكل استثنائي ولكن قانوني ونزل اسمي على موقع الترشيح لقائمة المرشحين للبرلمان الأوروبي.
* يعرفك الأوربيين أنك حمامة سلام متجولة في البلدان الأوربية، إذن ما هي رؤيتك للسلام في الشرق الأوسط؟

Dallas Police Memorial stands next to Dallas City Hall is designed by Ed Baum and John Maruszczak my former Professors at University of Texas at Arlington School of Architecture. They won the competition in 1996.
" A stainless steel construction emerges from the site like a figurative officer's shield and carries the badge numbers and names of police killed in the line of duty. One plane floats as an overhead bar while another follows the incline of the earth. The plane above casts a rectangular shadow across the broad asphalt steps, recalling the mourning bar worn on police badges when an officer is lost. Within this shadow the badge numbers of fallen officers are illuminated, projected by the rays of the sun. The removed stainless numerals, like reversed stencils. are mounted and given to the officers' families." ~ from record architects site
11:54 am CEST -> A pano formed by assemblage of 11 vertical shots. The panorama was an obvious choice here because I was interested in both the lighthouse and the tree. I used a 70 mm lens which gives a view a bit closer than eye. The point of view was determined by the tree position; there was no alternative pov to have the tree in that weak V. I think a wide angle would perform word here (presenting the lighthouse too far), but I have to try.
11:54 am CEST -> Panorámica de 11 imágenes verticales. En este caso, el formato panorama fue una solución más que un objetivo o una opción. Quería una fotografía en la que aparecieran el árbol y el faro. El punto de disparo está muy determinado en una línea y a una distancia determinada del árbol. Sólo así queda en el fondo de esa V y contrasta sobre el cielo. Desde ese punto un angular dejaría el faro demasiado alejado, aunque realmente debería probarlo algún día de estos, con mejor luz y más tiempo. Utilicé un 70 mm, que da una vista similar a la del ojo (algo de aumento) y sobre todo mantenía el equilibrio de distancias entre el árbol (más cerca) y el faro (más alejado).

Das hängt mit der Geschichte des Igels zusammen, der als Verbindung begründet wurde, um andere Verbindungen mit ihren Ritualen und Farben ins Lächerliche zu ziehen. Da der Igel keine richtigen Farben besitzt und diese Distanziertheit von einer normalen Verbindung auch ausdrücken will, weht auf seines Daches Mast keine Flagge in seinen Farben, sondern immer die Flagge der höchsten politischen Ordnung (bis in die 1990er Jahre die Deutsche Flagge,

The A.V.. Hedgehog (IGEL) is non-relevant, non-color (therefore a black compound) bearing community .
She has no colors, but only the "ridicule"colours black grey, grey, silver grey. This is related to the history of the IGEL (hedgehog) , which was founded as a connection, to make other connections with their rituals and colours in the ridiculous. Since the Eagle has no correct colors, and also wants to express this remoteness by a normal connection, no flag in its colors, but always the flag of the highest political order blowing on his roof mast (until the 1990s the German flag, since about 1995 the European flag). The Hedgehog is politically and denominationally neutral.

When the tide goes out at Berrow, near Burnham-On-Sea, the bones of a long dead ship stick out of the sands as a stark reminder of a savage gale and a gallant rescue at the end of the last century.
It all started during the first days of March 1897 when a howling south westerly gale swept up the Bristol Channel, bringing with it high seas, driving snow and sleet.
Many ships soon found themselves in distress, among them the Norwegian barque SS Nornen which had tried out to ride out the storm in the lee of the Lundy Roads but had found her anchors dragging. She was being driven towards Berrow mud flats. The crew desperately tied to save her, but were fighting a losing cause.
The heroic rescue of the ship's crew
When the mists cleared on the morning of March 3, the crippled ship was spotted just off Gore Sands, her sails blown to rags by the gale. Down the ramp to her aid went the Burnham lifeboat, the John Godfrey Morris which had been on station at the town for the last ten years.
Launched down the rails on the jetty, the lifeboat with its crew of ten oarsmen battled through high seas and winds to the SS Nornen. Despite the gale, the lifeboat managed to get alongside the helpless ship, just as she was being driven onto the sands.
The ship's crew of ten, together with their dog, were taken off by the lifeboat and landed safely at Burnham at three o'clock in the afternoon. The rescue is recorded on the honours board of rescues made by the three lifeboats at Burnham during the period from 1867 to 1930 and which today stands in the entrance to the Burnham RNLI Station.
Wreck remains there today
After the rescue, the sea pounded and smashed the ship and although attempts were made to lighten and refloat her, she was finally sold as a wreck.
Today, when the tide goes out, children play amid the timbers of the ship wreck, which lies just north of St Mary's Parish Church at Berrow, just south of Brean.
But when the wind blows and the big seas start to roll in, it doesn't take much imagination to see again that gallant rescue of not so long ago.
