In response to this discussion on Typophile, I compiled a few snapshots of Berlin street signs – the idiosyncratic classic ‘West Berlin’ style, to be precise. By comparing the pairs and repeating letters, one can see that this not one typeface, but rather a very fuzzy lettering model.
The Berlin street sign styles have been made into digital fonts by Verena Gerlach and Ole Schäfer. This one is available as FF City Street Type Berlin West Original.
Thommanon (Khmer: ប្រាសាទធម្មនន្ទ) is one of a pair of Hindu temples built during the reign of Suryavarman II (from 1113–1150) at Angkor, Cambodia.:119 This small and elegant temple is located east of the Gate of Victory of Angkor Thom and north of Chau Say Tevoda. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed by UNESCO in 1992 titled Angkor. The temple is dedicated to Shiva and Vishnu.
HISTORY
Scholars studying the carvings of the devatas in Thommanon have concluded that Thommanon was built around the time when work on Angkor Wat was begun. However, there is some disagreement as to the precise date it was built. Some believe that the distinctive carvings of females, known as devatas indicate that they were built during the reign of Jayavarman VI (1080–1113 AD), some time at the end of the 11th century. However, there is greater agreement, especially given the scholarly studies that it was built by Suryavarman II around the time of Angkor Wat and Beng Mealea from 1113–1150 AD
The Vaishnavite cult was adopted in Cambodia by Jayavarman II and his son Jayavarman III. Under these two rulers, the shaivite cult was subsumed with the Vaishnavite cult in the temples such as the Thommaman, Beng, Melea, Chausey, Tevoda, Bantay Samre, and Angkor Vat.
Thommanon is located directly opposite the Chau Say Tevoda and just 500 metres east of the Victory Gate on the way to Ta Keo. In the 1960s, the temple underwent a full restoration, funded by the École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO). French archaeologists restored it and added concrete ceilings.
STRUCTURE
Thommanon is a single-towered temple with an east-facing central sanctuary, crowned by a prasat, or tower. Access from the east is via a gopura, followed by a mandapa, or antechamber, before arriving at the central sanctuary. The temple's carvings are very well preserved and the aged sandstone provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding jungle. The architectural style of its tower is also akin to the Ankor Wat temple and the Chau Say Tevoda in its vicinity. The temple is much better preserved than the nearby Chau Say Tevoda, which is undergoing restoration, though both temples are similar in design. The reason for better preservation of Thommanon is attributed to the fact that its super-structure does not have stone-enclosed wood beams. Thus, adoption of sandstone as the medium for carvings in this temple has made it more advanced in its architectural design vis-à-vis other temples in its vicinity, which were mostly wood-based. All doorways include carved pediments.The compound walls around the temple have all disappeared, leaving only the entry gates on the east and the west; the central tower is all that remains of the main temple. It is inferred that both Thommanon and Chau Say Thavoda were interlinked to the central tower under one large compound with large gates. The independent building separated from the main temple was the library.DevatasImages of Devatas, the female divine carved figurines, are seen in profusion here, as in other Khmer temples. They are the centre of attraction in Thommanon. The devatas depict flower crowns, sampots (Cambodian skirts), necklaces, armbands, belts and ankle bands. The mudras displayed are complex. The devatas grip the flower very distinctively, holding the ring and middle fingers against the thumb, while the index and small finger are extended. One Angkor researcher calls this position the "devata mudra", and notes it is also prominent at Angkor Wat. The sampots of the devatas though are divided into two distinct types of sampot, one type is the ancient pleated style, seen in the Bakheng period at Lolei and Phnom Bok (900 AD), and the other is a patterned fabric style with folds and "tail" seen at Angkor Wat.

Angkor is a region of Cambodia that served as the seat of the Khmer Empire, which flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries. The Angkorian period began in AD 802, when the Khmer Hindu monarch Jayavarman II declared himself a universal monarch and god-king, and lasted until the late 14th century, first falling under Ayutthayan suzerainty in 1351. A Khmer rebellion resulted in the 1431 sacking of Angkor by Ayutthaya, causing its population to migrate south to Longvek.
The ruins of Angkor are located amid forests and farmland to the north of the Great Lake (Tonlé Sap) and south of the Kulen Hills, near modern-day Siem Reap city, in Siem Reap Province. The temples of the Angkor area number over one thousand, ranging in scale from nondescript piles of brick rubble scattered through rice fields to the magnificent Angkor Wat, said to be the world's largest single religious monument. Many of the temples at Angkor have been restored, and together, they comprise the most significant site of Khmer architecture. Visitor numbers approach two million annually, and the entire expanse, including Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom is collectively protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This popularity of the site among tourists presents multiple challenges to the preservation of the ruins.
In 2007, an international team of researchers using satellite photographs and other modern techniques concluded that Angkor had been the largest preindustrial city in the world, with an elaborate infrastructure system connecting an urban sprawl of at least 1,000 square kilometres to the well-known temples at its core. The closest rival to Angkor, the Mayan city of Tikal in Guatemala, was between 100 and 150 square kilometres in total size. Although its population remains a topic of research and debate, newly identified agricultural systems in the Angkor area may have supported up to one million people.
The Angkorian period may be said to have begun shortly after 800 AD, when the Khmer King Jayavarman II announced the independence of Kambujadesa (Cambodia) from Java and established his capital of Hariharalaya (now known as Roluos) at the northern end of Tonlé Sap. Through a program of military campaigns, alliances, marriages and land grants, he achieved a unification of the country bordered by China to the north, Champa (now Central Vietnam) to the east, the ocean to the south and a place identified by a stone inscription as the land of cardamoms and mangoes to the west. In 802, Jayavarman articulated his new status by declaring himself universal monarch and, in a move that was to be imitated by his successors and that linked him to the cult of Siva, taking on the epithet of god-king (devaraja). Before Jayavarman, Cambodia had consisted of a number of politically independent principalities collectively known to the Chinese by the names Funan and Chenla.
In 889, Yasovarman ascended to the throne. A great king and an accomplished builder, he was celebrated by one inscription as "a lion-man; he tore the enemy with the claws of his grandeur; his teeth were his policies; his eyes were the Veda." Near the old capital of Hariharalaya, Yasovarman constructed a new city, called Yasodharapura. In the tradition of his predecessors, he also constructed a massive reservoir called baray. The significance of such reservoirs has been debated by modern scholars, some of whom have seen in them a means of irrigating rice fields, and others of whom have regarded them as religiously charged symbols of the great mythological oceans surrounding Mount Meru, the abode of the gods. The mountain, in turn, was represented by an elevated temple, in which the "god-king" was represented by a lingam. In accordance with this cosmic symbolism, Yasovarman built his central temple on a low hill known as Phnom Bakheng, surrounding it with a moat fed from the baray. He also built numerous other Hindu temples and ashrams, or retreats for ascetics.
Over the next 300 years, between 900 and 1200, the Khmer Empire produced some of the world's most magnificent architectural masterpieces in the area known as Angkor. Most are concentrated in an area approximately 24 km east to west and 8.0 km north to south, although the Angkor Archaeological Park, which administers the area, includes sites as far away as Kbal Spean, about 48 km to the north. Some 72 major temples or other buildings are found within this area, and the remains of several hundred additional minor temple sites are scattered throughout the landscape beyond. Because of the dispersed, low-density nature of the medieval Khmer settlement pattern, Angkor lacks a formal boundary, and its extent is therefore difficult to determine. However, a specific area of at least 1,000 qkm beyond the major temples is defined by a complex system of infrastructure, including roads and canals that indicate a high degree of connectivity and functional integration with the urban core. In terms of spatial extent (although not in terms of population), this makes it the largest urban agglomeration in human history prior to the Industrial Revolution, easily surpassing the nearest claim, that of the Mayan city of Tikal.
The principal temple of the Angkorian region, Angkor Wat, was built between 1113 and 1150 by King Suryavarman II. Suryavarman ascended to the throne after prevailing in a battle with a rival prince. An inscription says that, in the course of combat, Suryavarman leapt onto his rival's war elephant and killed him, just as the mythical bird-man Garuda slays a serpent.

History
The Tower, the oldest still standing intact in Fife, was built for Sir Thomas Sibbald of Balgonie and is regarded as one of the finest 14th century towers in Scotland.
Built in Ashlar of the hardest of sandstone, it rises approximately 75 feet to the parapets. The walls on the ground floor are 10.5 feet thick reducing to 6 feet at the top.
The Great Hall is the only room that was never remodelled by the later Lairds and so still retains its original window seats. The Laird's Hall, on the floor above, was remodeled in the 17th century and lost its window seats when the windows were enlarged.
The North Range was built in 1496 for Sir Robert Lundin of Balgonie, leaving a defensive 10 foot gap between this and the Tower. This range is a Hall House in its own right and incorporates an earlier corner tower. This date is so precise as King James IV visited on the 20th of August 1496. He was so impressed by the mason's work that he gave them a gift of 20 shillings.
On the ground floor is the Chapel, complete with furniture saved from redundant churches. Both this and the preceding room are illuminated only by candlelight, creating a tremendously medieval ambience.
The gap between the Tower and Hall House was filled in by a Scale and Platt Tower in 1666. This 'great' stair was built by John Mylne of Balfarg, 7th generation Hereditary King's Master Mason. Vandals destroyed the stone staircase in the 1960s and it later had to be restored in timber.
The Barmkin Wall is over 20 feet high and of two distinct periods. The South Wall is probably sixteenth century, whilst the West Wall is probably fifteenth century. The latter wall also houses the Gatehouse and Prison.
The first recorded Lairds were the Sibbald family. The Sibbalds probably descended from Sybaldi, who flourished in the middle of the 12th century. Sir Duncan Sibbald was living in Balgonie before 1246 (he is later mentioned in a Papal Bull of 1250). The Great Tower was built for Sir Thomas Sibbald of Balgonie, King's Treasurer, around 1360.
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Sibbald of Balgonie, married George, 4th Earl of Angus. A descendant of this marriage was Lord Darnley, second husband of Mary Queen of Scots. Queen Mary spent the night at Balgonie before going on to Wemyss Castle, where she met Darnley for the first time.
Balgonie passed to the Lundin or Lundie family through the marriage of Elizabeth (daughter of Sir Andrew Sibbald of Balgonie, Sheriff of Fife) to Robert Lundin, second son of Sir John Lundin of that Ilk. The Lundin family descended from a natural son of King William 'The Lion'. Sir Robert Lundin of Balgonie, who entertained James IV, was Lord High Treasurer of Scotland.
In 1624 Balgonie was bought by brothers James Boswell of Lochgelly and David Boswell of Craigincalt. Their creditors, including their father Sir John Boswell of Balmuto, sold Balgonie in 1635 to Sir Alexander Leslie (right).
Leslie, born around 1580, was the son of George Leslie, Captain of Blair Castle and Bailie of Atholl. He served in the Dutch Army before being offered a captaincy in the Swedish Army by King Gustavus Adolphus. In 1622 he raised the Vermlands Regiment for the King. This regiment existed until it was axed by Swedish Government cuts in 2000. Leslie spent 30 years in the service of Sweden, rising to the rank of Field Marshal before retiring in 1638. He was not finished with soldiering, however, as in 1639 he was made Lord General of the Army of the Covenant. He faced Charles I at Duns (this is the origin of the rhyme 'There was a Crooked Man'), where a price of £500 was put on his head. In 1641 Charles I raised him to a peerage with the titles of Earl of Leven and Lord Balgonie.
David, 3rd Earl of Leven (who also inherited the Earldom of Melville) raised a regiment in Edinburgh in 1689 (today they are The King's Own Scottish Borderers). In January 1716 the infamous Rob Roy MacGregor paid Balgonie a visit with some 200 clansmen and 20 Hanoverian prisoners.
Other famous visitors to Balgonie Castle have included Daniel Defoe, Dr Benjamin Rush (signatory of the American Declaration of Independence), James Boswell and Dr Johnson.
The 8th Earl of Leven sold Balgonie in 1824 to Sir James Balfour of Whittinghame (grandfather of A J Balfour, 1st Earl Balfour, Prime Minister 1902-05) who gave the estate to his second son Charles.
By the 1840s letters were appearing in the Edinburgh press concerning the appalling state of Balgonie. The roofs were later taken off to avoid paying Roof Tax.
Following heavy vandalism of the 1960s, the Castle was sold to David Maxwell, from Edinburgh, in 1971. He carried out restoration to the Tower before selling to the present Laird, Raymond Morris of Balgonie & Eddergoll, in 1985.
Family friendly ride - thousands (85 to be fairly precise) and thousands of bikes on car-free streets of central London. Blogged here by my near neighbour Dave Hill of the Guardian - rather cynically I feel. Cycling in London has ceased to be a marginal activity, writing as someone who rode around the capital in the mid 70s, and it is now mainstream. Unlike Berlin, though, it is still a kind of war with other motorised vehicles and I don't think Boris Johnson is responsible for that mind-set; in fact he cycles himself (unlike Gordon Brown or Ken Livingstone to name two) and knows culture cannot be changed overnight. Even Dave see above, not the gimmick cyclist Cameron, accepts it was fun. And what is wrong with that?

Vibrational Therapy, also called Vibrational Medicine and Energy Medicine, is based on the scientific principles that all matter vibrates to a precise frequency and that by using resonant vibration, balance of matter can be restored.
POLARITY OF MATTER
Within all life, existing together at the same time, is both matter and space, movement and stillness, sound and silence, light and darkness. The polarity of life, or the ability to travel throughout the range between polar opposites, is the natural state of being. Most of us are often stuck in one of the polar opposites, unable or unwilling for various reasons to freely flow throughout the full range of the circle of life.
At any level of existence, whether it be atomic or cosmic, form that is in a state of balance and health, pulse in and out of stillness and movement easily. It is a dynamic, ever-changing dance. In fact, form in its wisdom and intelligence, is constantly seeking to correct imbalances.
Trauma often results in states of either no movement or constant movement. Contrary to what you might think, the system wisely creates these states in order not to overwhelm itself when trauma occurs. When registered deeply, the system cannot self-correct. When form ceases to freely move, it atrophies, and over time, dies. Or, if form never rests, it will eventually burn out. The “system” includes not only the physical, but the emotional, mental and spiritual parts of us as well.
RESONANCE and VIBRATION
Resonance works on the principle that like attracts like. When the C string of a harp or piano is struck, all the other octave strings of C begin to vibrate. They are in resonance with one another. The different parts of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual being resonante to various frequencies of vibration.
Vibrational/Energy Therapy gently invites stuck energy to move or vibrate again... or over-stimulated energy to explore stillness. Over time, the system finds balance between the two by being able to move through the entire range of possibilities fluidly and easily.
This is the experience of not only health and vitality, but expansion, transformation of consciousness, and eventually, transcendence.
LANGUAGES OF VIBRATION and RESONANCE
The languages of vibration and resonance are those which stimulate the five senses. This includes color, light, crystals and gems, sound, aroma, sacred geometry and touch. Common to all is the ability to create the entire spectrum of energy within the circle of life.
Like an orchestra, the system may be deficient of a single note or a whole symphony of harmonics. In fact, just as a variety of foods creates balanced nutrition in the physical aspect of the system, the ability to receive and process over time a variety of colors, sounds and aromas, for example, is also essential nutrition.
Most of us are deficient or bombarded in one or more of the senses. For example, how many of us receive loving non-sexual touch on a regular basis? Or how about the factory worker whose ears never get a moment's quiet? Or a sales clerk at a perfume counter whose nose is constantly stimulated by thousands of scents most of which contain synthetic ingredients. Or an office worker who sits in front of a computer screen all day? I could go on and on... What is the solution?
We all need a moderate variety of sense stimuli on a regular basis. If we consciously engage our senses on a regular basis, we can heal trauma and restore balance in our lives. Therapeutically engaging the sense nature in a conscious and specific way creates deep and lasting changes towards wholeness and health.
Use of a specific complementary regimen from an assortment of vibrational therapies invites the system back into its core resonance, into its true nature. It is an invitation to come home.

this is vanity...vanity vivacious to be precise...vivacious being an understatement...
vanity can be best described as a vamp, a scamp but certainly NOT a tramp! intelligent, good looking and with a body that goes bumpity-bump into the night...her past life is none of our business but her future certainly will be...but there is one thing about her past life that you’d like to be aware of...the inheritance!!! but that’s it...we’ll not mention the drinking binges, opium dens, or the tanning booths...tattoos in forbidden places..the gambling...no, none of that...just the inheritance...oh and she’s tried to quit smoking 17 times...don't let her sad puppy dog eyes fool you...or the pouty lips for that matter...they get me all the time...
she has a twin sister...somewhere downtown...uptown...some town...
we used to date and still do from time to time...and this time...
let’s talk about the inheritance...it came from a long lost uncle/aunt/cousin (we’re not sure) someone who died/was killed (still not sure) who had lived and died/killed in a land far, far away (we’re not sure which land)...i’m not sure this part even matters in the slightest, but the inheritance was a lot...
it appears that other members of her family weren’t as lucky as vanity...vanity apparently was the favourite, somebody’s favourite, everybody's favourite...maybe it was the bumpity-bump body, maybe it was the intelligence...you’ll have to judge for yourself...
flaunting the inheritance in their faces and behind their backs, she spent the money in places that would make a grown woman cry...clothes, jewellery, more jewellery and yet more jewellery...tattoos in forbidden places and the tanning booths...and i almost forgot the gambling...and the smokes...and the drinking...
what does a woman want and need but more jewellery? and a fast car...
strangely this story is taking a twist...even before we start...

The Postcard
A Military Series postcard that was published by E. F. A. The stamp has been removed along with the precise date of posting, but we do know that the card was posted in Folkestone in 1906 to:
Master P. Harmer,
64, Providence Street,
South Ashford,
Kent.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Percy,
Very pleased with letter.
Sorry to hear that you
lost your mouth organ.
I'm thinking of having a
run home on Saturday,
and returning early on
Sunday if fine.
I have just been having
a time on a violin.
Love,
M. H."
-- Percy Harmer
There are 20 cards on this photostream addressed to Percy Harmer. Percy must have been a stamp collector, because out of the 20 cards, 13 of them have unusually had their stamp removed.
-- The Death of Percy Harmer
Sadly Percy did not survive the Great War:
Frederick Percy Harmer was born in Ashford, Kent in 1896. He served in the British Army as a private in the King's Royal Rifle Corps.
Percy died of wounds in France at the age of 20 on the 19th. October 1916.
Percy's name is recorded along with sixty others on the Great War Memorial in Christ Church, South Ashford, Kent.
Percy's family obviously continued to keep the postcards that had been set to him before the Great War, and they are still all together, in my collection.
1st./15th. Royal New South Wales Lancers
The 1st./15th. Royal New South Wales Lancers is an active Australian Army Reserve Cavalry regiment. The regiment has its headquarters at Lancer Barracks in Parramatta, a suburb in Western Sydney, New South Wales.
Lancer Barracks is the oldest Military Barracks on mainland Australia, and dates from 1819.
History of The Regiment
The regiment dates back to the formation of the Sydney Light Horse Volunteers in January 1885, and took its current name in 1956 when the 1st. Royal New South Wales Lancers and the 15th. Northern River Lancers amalgamated, initially being equipped with Matilda tanks.
The 1st./15th. RNSWL carries the former regiments' battle honours, and consequently has 31 collective battle honours, including those from the Boer War, Great War and Second World War.
The regiment has recently been equipped with Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles (PMV), having previously used 4x4 Land Rover patrol vehicles as part of the conversion to a Light Cavalry (Reconnaissance) role.
The Regimental Band of the 1st./15th. Royal New South Wales Lancers is one of the few Army regimental bands still in existence. The Band was formed in 1891, and has served with the regiment ever since, making it the oldest military band in Australia.
The Lancer Band consists of Army Musicians who perform for Regimental functions, at public events, and for other Army Ceremonial tasks.

>u>The Lancers' Museum
The regimental museum was started in 1957, and is currently hosted at its own building in Linden House, Parramatta. Its collection includes equipment, uniforms, weapons and vehicles used by the Lancers during its history.
The vehicles on display include:
Covenanter bridge-layer tank
Matilda close support tank (with 3 inch howitzer)
Bren Gun carrier
Staghound armoured car
Ferret Mk1 and Mk2 scout cars
Centurion main battle tank
Daimler Dingo scout car
Land Rover 4x4 truck with 106mm recoilless gun
Austin Champ 4x4 truck.
The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right above the ticket windows. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction.

Can't give a precise date on this programme but isn't the design fabulous! Here you can see the Hastings Pier decked out in it's finery complete with the Old Bandstand where people could hire a deckchair and listen to the bands play. My Great Grandfather helped build Hastings Pier.
Opposite the Pier is Hastings White Rock Pavillion.
I'm not sure of the precise date, but this is from a blog called Letters Home From Korea, and it contains memories and photographs of Charles Woodruff, a US Army Korean War veteran; this particular image is way down at the bottom of the page, so you have to scroll quite a ways down. This is a postcard he picked up at the time, showing the Capitol Building at the end of Sejong Daero. As you can see, the steps are far too low to have been the site of the previous photo. It's more likely that the photographer was up one floor, or maybe even two. There is in fact at least one figure standing on the third floor balcony, and maybe two.
Note that the entrance to the building is blocked in this shot, by a temporary barrier (and a big yellow sign), so this may date from the middle of the war, after Seoul had been recaptured, but before the legislature was really sitting.
Cleveland has something really neat: a lake. Lake Erie to be precise, "the fourth-largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America, and the eleventh-largest globally if measured in terms of surface area" (Wikipedia). It's gorgeous, and its shoreline hosts a beautiful park, Edgewater park. The park includes a pier, used by wandering souls, tourists, and people who like to fish.
This pier has been battered by the world around it, by weather, has been repaired, remodeled many times, and in turn features great textures.
I took my trusty camera, and captured sixteen of these great textures. I gently edited them, color-corrected them, and here we are. The set includes the original textures, negative versions, transparent versions, Bitmap TIFF versions, and vector versions.
These can be used for backgrounds, distressing, to give depth. Use the negative versions as aging artifacts on photos, by changing their blending mode to screen, and lowering the opacity to 25-50%. Have fun!

When was the world's first railway laid? No one is quite confident on a precise date but simple rails have been used to guide vehicles for centuries, definitely as far back as the middle ages and possibly even in ancient Greece.
What is certain is that in the early 1600s a Nottinghamshire businessman called Huntingdon Beaumont came to Northumberland and laid rails from collieries near Blyth to a shipping point on the coast.
His waggonway used horses hauling wooden waggons on wooden wheels on wooden rails, however this was not a financial success. It did though provide the spark of progression from primitive wooden rails over short distances, to a railway network which would change Britain and the world forever.
Tyneside Roads
From the mid 1600 onwards waggonways and the Tyneside coal industry became linked so closely that they were known throughout the rest of Britain as 'Tyneside Roads'. A network of lines linked collieries on both sides of the Tyne to the river.
It is no coincidence that the North East was the area where waggonways took greatest hold, because canal building was impossible due to deep valleys and steep hills. What set the rail systems of Tyneside apart from all others was its use of the flanged wheel - a key element of the modern railway as we know it.
A revelation
When the Tanfield Railway - or waggonway as it was known at the time - was built in 1725, it was a revelation. Its massive engineering was unlike anything else in its era, or even since the Roman Empire. It was a triumph of engineering over nature, a clear signal that a new industrial age was upon the world, and that railways would play a massive part.
First laid down more than a quarter of a century before the first railway officially sanctioned by government, over 75 years before the first steam locomotive and a whole 100 years earlier than the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway. We will be the first railway to celebrate our tricentenary in 2025.

Tank Infantry Mark III, Valentine IX (E2000.577)
The precise identity of this tank is not clear, all identification marks having been removed many years ago. It stood outside the Army Base at Long Kesh in Northern Ireland for many years, subsequently moving to the Maze Prison and Lisanelly Camp, Omagh.
It was subsequently acquired by Vickers Defence Systems and restored to running order in Newcastle using the engine from our Valentine Archer (E1969.43). In due course it was offered to the Tank Museum on loan and ultimately, in March 2002 was gifted to the Museum.
The Valentine Mark IX was upgunned to fit a 57mm (six-pounder) gun into the turret although this did not leave enough room for a co-axial machine gun and in any case, with just a two-man turret crew the tank was very difficult to fight.
Our tank carried the number T123358 on the turret which is correct for the type but not necessarily for this actual vehicle. Mark IX Valentines saw service in North Africa and some may have been suppplied to Russia but by 1943 the Valentine had been replaced in front line service by more modern vehicles and was either being relegated to secondary roles or supplied to other countries such as Portugal.
The Valentine development started without a specification from the War Office (hence the absence of an army designation), as a private design by Sir John Carden, and was submitted on February, 10, 1938, to the authorities. By then, the Matilda II had been chosen for production, but the Valentine was something different.
Vickers engineers basically tried to enhance their A10 Cruiser tank design, with a dramatic increase in protection (up to 60 mm/2.36 in). This choice allowed the use most components and parts of the already produced Cruiser I and II, therefore creating an efficient and cheap solution to the need of new infantry tank models. By then, the Matilda II was found to be far costlier than the Matilda I, and not suitable for mass-production. Comparatively, the Valentine seemed a good compromise. The name itself still is a mystery. It could have originated either from Sir John Carden’s middle name, or the date of its first submission (St. Valentine day), or a composed Vickers factory codename, though most historians agree that Valentine was just a simple codename during development.
The Mark I set the tone for the entire series of eleven main variants, with many sub-variants, and a staggering total of 8300 units. The main armament and turret design, as well as the engine and protection, were continuously improved while keeping roughly the same general appearance until 1945. The Mk.I was recognizable by its original two-man turret and 2-pdr (40 mm/1.575 in) gun. From the start, a coaxial Besa machine-gun constitued the secondary armament. The crew consisted of only three men due to the cramped interior, and the commander was also busy as gun loader, machine-gunner and radio operator. The production was rushed to such point that many problems were later detected and fixed with the next Mk.II. The main engine was the AEG A189 petrol delivering only 135 hp, and the hull was riveted. 350 were delivered in all, most seeing action in Libya, while others stayed at home for training.

Fired clay and slip, 9 1/2 x 3 3/4 x 2 1/2 in.
Facial markings, clothing, and jewelry identify this figure as a nobleman. The Maya buried such sculptures with the dead. Their precise modeling, variety, and detail provide a window onto Maya appearance, dress, culture, and social roles.
The Maya imported tons of earth and stone to Jaina, an island off Mexico’s Campeche coast, to create a level surface on which to build. They constructed a plaza with pyramids and dwellings. The name Jaina, in fact, means “temple in the water.”

Photographed from the window of my 'Whore's Perch'.
This Whore's Perch. (2008)
Titles are important to me, I like all the connotations. The whore was the one who plied her trade, here, before me. It has a bed, a bath, and a toilet all in one room, and nothing else (other than a sink). This was to facilitate, ingress, egress and evacuation, I believe, and the maintaining of a clean, and efficient, work area, on an in-and-out basis. I love the pragmatism of all the trade's people here.
I was the whore who arrived next. I still have the property rented to the end of the month, but find myself with an embarrassment of properties, one of which houses a whore, and the other which presently houses two cats, one of whom would be one (a whore, that is) given half the chance. A cat 'on heat' is a wondrous thing, but then so is a person. For the record, that slightly phallic shape in the middle of the foreground is this whore's foot.
The shoe is a gentleman's bespoke lace-up brogue from 'Foster & Son', London. There is an aspect of 'drag' there.
I have learnt a sort of trick, it's a bit of a coverall. When I really embarrass myself with an image or text, and I do, I have discovered that if I flood my stream with a new direction, say here with this group of geographic place-holders (lest I forget), then hopefully I have somewhat buried the 'offending article'. I might add that this idea, or image, does not embarrass me at all. I have loved many 'whores' in my lifetime. I have found them to be honest and good for the most part. I would rather have dinner and a few drinks with any of their number over the company of priests, nuns, bank managers, or market manipulators.
Call me old-fashioned.
This week, stonemasons are carrying out the precise and delicate work of hoisting into place four diamond-matched slabs of giallo reale marble, which will form the centerpiece of the main sanctuary retablo, as the backdrop for the crucifix.
Coordinating slabs of giallo reale marble will also be used in our new Altar of Sacrifice, as well as in the side shrines of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph.
Millions of years old and quarried earlier this year in Italy, these particular slabs of giallo reale were chosen for their warm tones of gold, yellow, cream, and auburn.

Utricularia minor L.
EN: Lesser Bladderwort, DE: Kleine Wasserschlauch
Slo.: mala mešinka
Dat.: June 10. 2008
Lat.: 45.90000 Long.: 14.10000 (coordinates not precise)
Code: Bot_270/2008_DSC9003
Habitat: nutrients poor, shallow standing water of a small march; next to a local road; flat terrain; mostly sunny; elevation 570 m (1.870 feet); average precipitations 1.800-2.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-9 deg C, borderline between Dinaric and prealpine phytogeographical region.
Substratum: soil, bottom of a shallow standing water.
Place: Žejna dolina valley, next to the local road from village Hotedršica toward the settlement Medvedje Brdo, (about 2 km north from the village Hotedršica), Notranska, Slovenia EC.
Comment: Utricularia minor is a very interesting carnivorous aquatic plant. It grows in standing and very slowly flowing waters. Only its flower stalks with yellow, bizarre looking flowers, resembling gluttonous mouth, rise above water surface. Long stolons and stalks with several times divided leaves having thin final segments live in water. The plant catches and digests small water animals like water fleas, nematodes, small fish fry and mosquito larvae with bladder-like traps situated on their leaves. Hundreds of these traps can be found on a single plant. Each bladder, which was initially thought to be a flotation device before its carnivorous nature was discovered, has a small mouth, 'trap door', surrounded by several branched protuberances looking like some kind of tentacles.
The functioning of these traps is ingenious – many agree the most sophisticated and simple at the same time carnivorous trapping mechanism to be found within plant kingdom. The bladder is a purely mechanical device without any sensory functions. The only active mechanism involved is the constant pumping of water out of the bladder through thin bladder's walls by cellular transportation mechanism. Since the mouth (trap door) is normally tightly closed, this pumping crates negative pressure within the bladder and squeezes it somewhat. The 'tentacles' are stiff and attached to the flexible mouth lip. If an animal touches these 'tentacles' they work simply as mechanical levers and deform the mouth lip a bit. The mouth loses its tightness and, because of the negative pressure inside the bladder, water instantly brakes into the bladder – together with the pray. This happens in about 10 ms only! The mouth closes and the pray is slowly digested by the plant. After the meal is finished the whole process starts again (Ref.: 4). Note: Picture of the bladder taken through a microscope shows similar bladder of Utricularia intermedia and not of Utricularia minor!
Utricularia minor is widely distributed all over the world (except Antarctica). In Slovenia it is rare, highly endangered and protected by law as all other four species of this interesting genus present in the country.

Black-backed Kingfisher bathing
This is one of the smallest and fastest king around capable of speed up to 6-8 meters per second. It's a huge challenge trying to catch it in action. This guy loves to bathe. He is thrilled with delight every time after he dip into the pool. It plunges into the pool with such high speed that it literally vaporise the water in front of it. The perfectly designed water-proofing plumage prevent it from drowning, it helps to keep the bird stays afloat every time after every dive and never fails. Another interesting thing i noticed was that despite the high intensity dive actions, the pool remained perfectly clear and the sediments was not disturbed at all. From observations he bathe even on rainy weather I'm unsure if this behaviour is confined to this species or otherwise
This yellow bellied version bathe from 1800 - 1815. The pale bellied bath from 1845 - 1900 both emit sharp calls before flying off signalling the end of the bath. Another question is why these birds do not dip themselves in the reservoir but instead choose to bathe in the tiny pools along the forest streams at the edge of the reservoir. One reason it might be the preferred shallow fast flowing cool water.
One complete sequence from ingress to egress from the water surface takes about 2 seconds. In human terms, it's a very compressed timeframe. For the kingfisher, it's a leisurely pace.
All sequence are remotely taken thus totally eliminating any possible stress to the bird
