The Postcard
An Artistique Series postcard that was published by the Inter-Art Co. of Florence House, Barnes, London SW13. The artwork was by A. A. Nash, and the card was printed in Great Britain. The card would have been published during the Great War as a morale booster.
It did come right in the end, but too late for the vast numbers of men and women (and children) who died in the conflict.
The card was posted on Monday the 25th. November 1918, two weeks after the end of the Great War. It was sent to:
Miss Babie James,
Agra Ville,
Kings Road,
Fleet,
Hants.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"I know a little girlie and
her name is Babie-Boo,
and I think she loves her
Daddy and her Mummie,
Tootle Loo.
For Dear Babie, with heaps
of love and sweetie kisses,
From Daddy and Mummie."
A Ceasefire at Abercorn
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 25th. November 1918, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, commander of German forces in German East Africa, signed a ceasefire at Abercorn, Northern Rhodesia.
His was the last German force to end hostilities in the Great War.
Philip Streczyk
The day also marked the birth of Philip Streczyk. He was a technical sergeant in the 1st. Infantry Division of the United States Army during World War II.
Streczyk was born to Polish parents Andrzej "Andrew" Streczyk (born 1876 in Austria-Hungary) and Marya (born 1886 in Austria-Hungary). Streczyk was a native of East Brunswick Township, New Jersey. He had nine siblings.
Streczyk quit school in eighth grade to help support his family, working as a truck driver until he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1940 at the age of 21. Streczyk was able to speak Polish and German, and used this ability during D-Day.
-- Philip Streczyk and D-Day
Streczyk is famous for being one of the first men off the beach at Omaha Beach. He served in the 1st. Infantry Division under Lieutenant John M. Spalding.
Streczyk and his men helped make the D-Day breakthrough at Omaha Beach possible. His platoon landed on the Easy Red sector, and made it to the shingle embankment largely intact, unlike most of the first wave.
However instead of attacking up the beach exits, as was planned, Philip instead helped to find and clear a path up the mined bluffs, left of Exit E-1. Streczyk courageously exposed himself to intense enemy fire and utilized antitank grenades to silence two enemy guns, thereby enabling his unit to continue its advance.
Once at the top, he attacked the enemy fortifications from the rear, clearing out trenches and pillboxes along Exit E-1 and taking prisoners.
He was able to interrogate several of the Ost battalion POWs because he spoke fluent Polish, German, and English. Later on D-Day, he was involved in actions further inland.
For his actions on D-Day, Streczyk was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Great Britain's Military Medal. His company commander later called him:
"The greatest unsung
hero of World War II".
He saw action in five other major battles during World War II, including Tunisia, Sicily, and Hurtgen. He was awarded the Silver Star four times. His six theaters earned him six Bronze Stars.
One of Philip's children, Ron Streczyk later recounted:
"After D-Day, during the Normandy fighting,
one of Tech Sergeant Streczyk's men was
severely wounded in a firefight.
The stricken soldier's jaw was gone and he
begged for death. The sergeant obliged,
and put him out of his misery. Later he felt
guilty about it."
-- Philip Streczyk's Subsequent World War II Service
Streczyk continued to fight through Normandy, the Mons Pocket, Aachen, and finally the brutal Battle of Hürtgen Forest. In total, he logged 440 days of combat.
During the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, Streczyk reached a breaking point. He shook uncontrollably and babbled incoherently to the point where he had to be evacuated from the front lines with a suspected case of combat fatigue.
His case was so severe that he needed to be evacuated to the United States Army General Hospital, Camp Butner, in the United States. In an interview with a journalist during his convalescence, he called his unit:
"The best platoon
a man ever had".
He was subsequently discharged from the U.S. Army. His Distinguished Service Cross was pinned onto him by Dwight D. Eisenhower on the 2nd. July 1944. Field Marshal Montgomery also personally awarded him the British Military Medal about a week later.
-- Philip Streczyk's Post-War Life and Suicide
Streczyk became a builder in Florida. He married Sophie Karanewsky, and they had four children.
Philip had frequent nightmares, and was in persistent pain from the physical and emotional wounds he sustained during his time in combat. This ultimately led to his suicide at the age of 39 on the 25th. June 1958, a delayed casualty of the horror of D-Day.
Philip was laid to rest at the Church of Religious Science in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The church is no longer active. The cemetery is on private property and not easily accessible.
Philip's brother John and their father Andrew are also buried there.
-- The Traumatic Death of John Spalding
Philip's commander John Spalding also came to a traumatic end. On the evening of the 6th. November 1959, Spalding’s wife shot him with a brand-new .22 caliber rifle.
The bullet entered his left side below his ribs, tearing his aorta, and he bled to death on the bedroom floor of their modest one-story home. Spalding, a hero of history’s greatest invasion, was dead at the age of 44.

About a year ago, I got a message from someone at Mercedes-Benz. They wanted to make a book with photos of their cars taken by “real people” and with the stories behind these photos, and an old test shot of mine had made it into their selection.
To cut a long story short: I made a proper scan of the negative, signed an agreement, and some time later I got some cash (quite a lot for a test shot actually) and a copy of the book. It has a fancy lenticular cover featuring two different sets of 25 thumbnail images each. Actually I didn’t even notice that my photo was also on the cover until today when I started figuring out how to document this “milestone” photographically.
The book, titled “Through the eyes of the world”, contains short forewords from Dieter Zetsche (the CEO of Daimler AG), Stewart Butterfield (one of the Flickr co-founders), and Uwe Düttmann (a renowned photographer who directed many campaigns for Mercedes-Benz).
Unfortunately, “published” is not the whole truth in that the book is not really available for purchase—instead, they are giving it away to a selection of Mercedes-Benz customers. But there is a Flickr group (“Mercedes-Benz—Through the Eyes of the World”) which aims at putting all the photos from the book in one place.
Published by Offset Press, Waterloo, Sydney. The book has 14 pages and the cover shows the Victorian Railways' S class # 302 at the head of the "Spirit of Progress".

I'm standing in my kitchen on a cold, wet summer afternoon making a Tassimo Costa L'or double shot Latte whilst taking a quick break from watching Sweden versus Slovakia (I've seen more action in a chess match!), on TV in the Euros football tournament when a rain soaked fox enters my garden!
My camera is upstairs still with the Lee SW150 filter holder and circular polarizer attached, and round here, foxes normally do not surface much in daylight nor spend long before scampering away, so I rush up and grab it, hastily tampering with the settings, forgetting to set the vibration control to the on position....
I'm skulking in the corner of the kitchen, shooting through closed, rain splattered windows and the fox can sense my presence and every movement. Far from ideal, but such a joy to have a few brief moments in the presence of such a magnificent animal.
And they say any shot is better than NO shot, don't they......

The Albertina
The architectural history of the Palais
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Image: The oldest photographic view of the newly designed Palais Archduke Albrecht, 1869
"It is my will that the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".
This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.
The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.
In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.
Picture: The "audience room" after the restoration: Picture: The "balcony room" around 1990
The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:
After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".
Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905
This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.
The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52
Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.
Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei
This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.
Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb
The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

Queen's College Oxford
Queen's College Oxford was founded in 1341 by Robert de Eglesfield in honour of Queen Philippa of Hainaut (wife of King Edward III of England). The college is distinguished by its predominantly neoclassical architecture, which includes buildings designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor.
In 2015, the college had an endowment of £265 million, making it the fifth wealthiest college (after St. John's, Christ Church, All Souls and Merton).
In April 2012, as part of the celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II, a series of commemorative stamps were released featuring A-Z pictures of famous British landmarks. Queen's College's front quad was used on the Q stamp, alongside other landmarks such as the Angel of the North on A and the Old Bailey on O.
The most famous feast of the College is the Boar's Head Gaudy, which originally was the Christmas Dinner for members of the College who were unable to return home over the Christmas break between terms, but is now a feast for old members of the College on the Saturday before Christmas.

'Oxford in War-Time'
During the Great War, a man named W. Snow was inspired to write a poem called 'Oxford in War-Time'.
Snow prefaces his poem with the following:
'The Boat Race will not be held this year (1915).
The whole of last year's Oxford eight and the
great majority of the cricket and football teams
are serving the King'.
The poem is as follows:
'Under the tow-path past the barges
Never an eight goes flashing by;
Never a blatant coach on the marge is
Urging his crew to do or die;
Never the critic we knew enlarges,
Fluent, on How and Why!

Welcomed the Football men aglow,
Covered with mud, as you'll remember,
Eager to vanquish Oxford's foe.
Where are the teams of last December?
Gone - where they had to go!
Where are her sons who waged at cricket
Warfare against the foeman-friend?
Far from the Parks, on a harder wicket,
Still they attack and still defend;
Playing a greater game, they'll stick it,
Fearless until the end!
Oxford's goodliest children leave her,
Hastily thrusting books aside;
Still the hurrying weeks bereave her,
Filling her heart with joy and pride;
Only the thought of you can grieve her,
You who have fought and died'.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee
Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS RDI FRSA DFBCS FREng was born on the 8th. June 1955. Also known as TimBL, he is an English computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web, the HTML markup language, the URL system, and HTTP.
He is a professorial research fellow at the University of Oxford, and a professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Berners-Lee proposed an information management system on the 12th. March 1989, and implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet in mid-November.
He devised and implemented the first Web browser and Web server, and helped foster the Web's subsequent explosive development. He is the founder and director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the continued development of the Web.
Tim co-founded (with Rosemary Leith) the World Wide Web Foundation. In April 2009, he was elected as Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences.
Berners-Lee is a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com founder's chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
In 2011, he was named as a member of the board of trustees of the Ford Foundation. He is a founder and president of the Open Data Institute, and is currently an advisor at social network MeWe.
In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. He received the 2016 Turing Award:
"... for inventing the World Wide Web, the first
web browser, and the fundamental protocols
and algorithms allowing the Web to scale".
He was named in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th. century, and has received many other accolades for his invention.
-- Tim Berners-Lee - The Early Years
Tim Berners-Lee was born in London, the son of mathematicians and computer scientists Mary Lee Woods (1924–2017) and Conway Berners-Lee (1921–2019). His parents were both from Birmingham, and worked on the Ferranti Mark 1, the first commercially-built computer.
He has three younger siblings; his brother, Mike, is a professor of ecology and climate change management.
Berners-Lee attended Sheen Mount Primary School, then attended Emanuel School (a direct grant grammar school at the time) from 1969 to 1973. A keen trainspotter as a child, he learnt about electronics from tinkering with a model railway.
From 1973 to 1976, he studied at The Queen's College, Oxford, where he received a first-class BA in physics. While there, he made a computer out of an old television set he had purchased from a repair shop.
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Career and Research
After graduation, Berners-Lee worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole, Dorset.
In 1978, he joined D. G. Nash in Ferndown, Dorset, where he helped create typesetting software for printers.
Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor at CERN from June to December 1980. While in Geneva, he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers.
To demonstrate it, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.
After leaving CERN in late 1980, Tim went to work at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd. in Bournemouth, Dorset, where he ran the company's technical side for three years.
The project he worked on was a "real-time remote procedure call" which gave him experience in computer networking. In 1984, he returned to CERN as a fellow.
In 1989, CERN was the largest Internet node in Europe, and Berners-Lee saw an opportunity to join hypertext with the Internet:
"I just had to take the hypertext idea and
connect it to the TCP and DNS ideas and—
ta-da!—the World Wide Web."
Tim also recalled:
"Creating the web was really an act of desperation,
because the situation without it was very difficult
when I was working at CERN later.
Most of the technology involved in the web, like the
hypertext, like the Internet, multifont text objects,
had all been designed already.
I just had to put them together. It was a step of
generalising, going to a higher level of abstraction,
thinking about all the documentation systems out
there as being possibly part of a larger imaginary
documentation system."
Berners-Lee wrote his proposal in March 1989 and, in 1990, redistributed it. It was accepted by his manager, Mike Sendall, who called his proposals:
"Vague, but exciting."
Robert Cailliau had independently proposed a project to develop a hypertext system at CERN, and joined Berners-Lee as a partner in his efforts to get the web off the ground. They used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web, for which Berners-Lee designed and built the first web browser.
Tim's software also functioned as an editor (called WorldWideWeb, running on the NeXTSTEP operating system), and the first Web server, CERN HTTPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon).
Berners-Lee published the first web site, which described the project itself, on the 20th. December 1990; it was available to the Internet from the CERN network.
The site provided an explanation of what the World Wide Web was, and how people could use a browser and set up a web server, as well as how to get started with your own website.
On the 6th. August 1991, Berners-Lee first posted, on Usenet, a public invitation for collaboration with the WorldWideWeb project.
In a list of 80 cultural moments that shaped the world, chosen by a panel of 25 eminent scientists, academics, writers and world leaders, the invention of the World Wide Web was ranked number one, with the entry stating:
"The fastest growing communications medium
of all time, the Internet has changed the shape
of modern life forever. We can connect with
each other instantly, all over the world."
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the W3C at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web.
Berners-Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. The World Wide Web Consortium decided that its standards should be based on royalty-free technology, so that they easily could be adopted by anyone.
In 2001, Berners-Lee became a patron of the East Dorset Heritage Trust, having previously lived in Colehill in Wimborne, East Dorset. In December 2004, he accepted a chair in computer science at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, Hampshire, to work on the Semantic Web.
In a Times article in October 2009, Berners-Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes ("//") in a web address were "unnecessary". He told the newspaper that he easily could have designed web addresses without the slashes. In his lighthearted apology he said:
"There you go, it seemed like
a good idea at the time."
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Policy Work
In June 2009, then-British prime minister Gordon Brown announced that Berners-Lee would work with the UK government in order to help make data more open and accessible on the Web, building on the work of the Power of Information Task Force.
Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind data.gov.uk, a UK government project to open up almost all data acquired for official purposes for free re-use.
Commenting on the opening up of Ordnance Survey data in April 2010, Berners-Lee said:
"The changes signal a wider cultural change
in government, based on an assumption that
information should be in the public domain
unless there is a good reason not to — not
the other way around."
He went on to say:
"Greater openness, accountability and
transparency in Government will give
people greater choice and make it
easier for individuals to get more
directly involved in issues that matter
to them."
In November 2009, Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web Foundation (WWWF) in order to campaign:
"To advance the Web to empower humanity
by launching transformative programs that
build local capacity to leverage the Web as
a medium for positive change".
Berners-Lee is one of the pioneer voices in favour of net neutrality, and has expressed the view that:
"ISPs should supply connectivity with no strings
attached, and should neither control nor monitor
the browsing activities of customers without their
expressed consent."
Tim advocates the idea that net neutrality is a kind of human network right:
"Threats to the Internet, such as companies
or governments that interfere with or snoop
on Internet traffic, compromise basic human
network rights."
As of May 2012, Tim is president of the Open Data Institute, which he co-founded with Nigel Shadbolt in 2012.
The Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) was launched in October 2013, and Berners-Lee is leading the coalition of public and private organisations that includes Google, Facebook, Intel and Microsoft.
The A4AI seeks to make Internet access more affordable, so that access is broadened in the developing world, where only 31% of people are online. Berners-Lee is working with those aiming to decrease Internet access prices so that they fall below the UN Broadband Commission's worldwide target of 5% of monthly income.
Berners-Lee holds the founders chair in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he heads the Decentralized Information Group and is leading Solid, a joint project with the Qatar Computing Research Institute that aims to radically change the way Web applications work today, resulting in true data ownership as well as improved privacy.
In October 2016, he joined the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University as a professorial research fellow, and as a fellow of Christ Church, one of the Oxford colleges.
From the mid-2010's Berners-Lee initially remained neutral on the emerging Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) proposal with its controversial digital rights management (DRM) implications.
In March 2017 he felt he had to take a position which was to support the EME proposal. He reasoned EME's virtues whilst noting DRM was inevitable. As W3C director, he went on to approve the finalised specification in July 2017.
Tim's stance was opposed by some, including Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the anti-DRM campaign, Defective by Design, and the Free Software Foundation. Varied concerns raised included being not supportive of the Internet's open philosophy against commercial interests, and risks of users being forced to use a particular web browser to view specific DRM content.
The EFF raised a formal appeal which did not succeed, and the EME specification became a formal W3C recommendation in September 2017.
On the 30th. September 2018, Berners-Lee announced his new open-source startup Inrupt to fuel a commercial ecosystem around the Solid project, which aims to give users more control over their personal data and lets them choose where the data goes, who's allowed to see certain elements and which apps are allowed to see that data.
In November 2019 at the Internet Governance Forum in Berlin Berners-Lee and the WWWF launched Contract for the Web, a campaign initiative to persuade governments, companies and citizens to commit to nine principles to stop "misuse", with the warning that:
"Ff we don't act now – and act together –
to prevent the web being misused by
those who want to exploit, divide and
undermine, we are at risk of squandering
its potential for good."
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Awards and Honours
Tim Berners-Lee's entry in Time magazine's list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century (March 1999) reads as follows:
"He wove the World Wide Web and created a mass
medium for the 21st century. The World Wide Web
is Berners-Lee's alone. He designed it. He loosed it
on the world. And he more than anyone else has
fought to keep it open, nonproprietary and free."
Berners-Lee has received many awards and honours. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in the 2004 New Year Honours:
"For services to the global development
of the Internet."
On the 13th. June 2007, he was appointed to the Order of Merit (OM), an order restricted to 24 living members, plus any honorary members. Bestowing membership of the Order of Merit is within the personal purview of the Sovereign, and does not require recommendation by ministers or the Prime Minister.
Tim was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2001. He was also elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2004 and the National Academy of Engineering in 2007.
He has been conferred honorary degrees from a number of universities around the world, including Manchester (his parents worked on the Manchester Mark 1 in the 1940's), Harvard and Yale.
In 2012, Berners-Lee was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his most famous artwork – the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires to mark his 80th. birthday.
In 2013, he was awarded the inaugural Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. On the 4th. April 2017, Tim received the 2016 Association for Computing Machinery's Turing Award for his invention of the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and their fundamental protocols and algorithms.
-- Tim Berners-Lee's Personal Life
Berners-Lee has said
"I like to keep work and
personal life separate."
Berners-Lee married Nancy Carlson, an American computer programmer, in 1990. She was also working in Switzerland at the World Health Organization. They had two children and divorced in 2011.
In 2014, he married Rosemary Leith at the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace in London. Leith is a Canadian Internet and banking entrepreneur, and a founding director of Berners-Lee's World Wide Web Foundation. The couple also collaborate on venture capital to support artificial intelligence companies.
Berners-Lee was raised as an Anglican, but he turned away from religion in his youth. After he became a parent, he became a Unitarian Universalist (UU). When asked whether he believes in God, he stated:
"Not in the sense of most people, I'm
atheist and Unitarian Universalist."
The web's source code was auctioned by Sotheby's in London in 2021, as a non-fungible token (NFT) by TimBL. Selling for US$5,434,500, it was reported the proceeds would be used to fund initiatives by TimBL and Leith.

I know, it's not Universal Studios or Time Magazine, but my name and pic are in a Zen Buddhist journal. They sent me the article that my pic is in. Not the whole journal. How cool is that??
No, I didn't get paid for it and I'm A-OK with that.

My first magazine cover! Woot! This is for the Greater Houston Partnership magazine Here is Houston. For someone who lives mostly in the digital world (even with her film) it's so wonderful to see my work in print and especially on a cover. Makes me almost feel like a real photographer. You can see the original photo here.
A Panamax cargo ship exits the lock right in front of us. I'm not sure the photo adequately captures the enormous size of this ship.
Panamax ships are designed to the maximum specification of the Panama Canal, with only 2 feet of clearance on each side as the mules guide it through the locks.

Bagattelle d’Inverno, l’ultima grande sfida #snellobb04
Birichinate, cammuffamenti, trasvestimenti, scherzi… insomma, in una parola: Carnevale!
Comunque lo si dica e comunque lo si festeggi, il Carnevale è da secoli una festa in cui la parola d’ordine è “divertirsi”.
Quindi, bando all’austerità e bando alle restrizioni, potevamo, noi di MondoSnello, non cogliere quest’occasione perfetta di Gusto e di Benessere, per vivere l’ultimo grande appuntamento delle gare di cucina di Snello Blind Box?
Eccoci qui, allora, amici di Mondosnello, estimatori dei prodotti Snello Rovagnati e appassionati Food Blogger che partecipate con noi ormai da un tempo che comincia a farsi lungo, perfino “tradizionale” (proprio come ci piace ;-)) a darvi il benvenuto a questa quarta sfida tra pentole, fornelli e… qualcosa di speciale – sennò che Carnevale è!
I fantasiosi piatti saranno assaggiati e votati da una giuria di esperti gastronomi di altissimo livello, a cominciare da Gil Grigliatti, gourmet di cultura ed esperienza internazionale. Da giovane è stato fiduciario Slow Food, nonché ispettore della guida dei ristoranti del Gambero Rosso per diversi anni. Autore del blog bilingue di cultura enogastronomica isymposium.org. Ancora Paolo Barichella, esperto di Food Design, autore del blog barichella.it; Alessia Cipolla, architetto e sommelier, autrice de lacostruzionedelgusto.it; Alessandro Salamone, reduce dalla trasmissione di La7 Chef per un giorno, autore di spaghettibites.com e ancora Angela Tomaiuolo co-fondatrice del web magazine milanodabere.it. Inoltre sarà presente Giacomo Kratter, otto volte campione italiano ed ora allenatore della Nazionale Italiana Snowboard. Quella da snowboard però non è l’unica tavola che ama: infatti Giacomo è un grande appassionato di cucina e adora farsi coccolare in ristoranti di lusso.
La giuria per l’occasione sarà presenziata dallo chef stellato e pluripremiato Davide Scabin, uno dei più apprezzati in Italia e all’estero, noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione, nei panni di giudice dei cuochi in gara, a La Prova del Cuoco condotto su Rai1 da Antonella Clerici.
Per questo, abbiamo deciso di mettere insieme una serie di ingredienti saporiti, variegati, originali, proprio come in ogni ricetta gourmet che si rispetti:
- un pizzico di tradizione – la sede di InKitchen Loft, che ormai è prontissima ad accoglierci, in qualunque veste ci presentiamo
- e uno di modernità – quello che emana netto dalle protagoniste della gara, giovani donne che si muovono agili tra vite professionali sfidanti e articolati ménage familiari
- una buona dose di fantasia - fatta di maschere, costumi e colori sgargianti
- e l’ingrediente segreto – le nostre amate BlindBox, chiuse fino all’ultimo secondo anche al più ardito degli sguardi
- il tutto cosparso con una spruzzata di giocosità bambina – grazie a un buon numero di piccoli “scavezzacollo” che avranno il loro tavolo, i loro ingredienti, i loro cibi, e soprattutto una chef d’eccezione - Stefania Corrado, la “Multitasking Chef” che più che presentazioni merita i nostri più sentiti complimenti ;-) – a guidarli alla scoperta del buon cibo, del gusto e del mangiare bene… sapendolo preparare.
Già, perché, in fondo, soprattutto in un’era estremamente tecnologica come la nostra e come quella di quell’immediato futuro in cui saranno loro i protagonisti del mondo – far mettere “le mani in pasta” ai nostri bimbi lo consideriamo un onore, oltre che un piccolo grande contributo all’educazione dei “buoni mangiatori” di domani…
Amanti della cucina, appassionate del gusto, attente all’armonia dei sapori e alla cura per la buona e la bella tavola
Estimatrici di ricette snelle - per velocità, capacità, leggerezza - esperte nella valorizzazione degli ingredienti di stagione e nella rivisitazione moderna di piatti tradizionali, si sfideranno, si concentreranno su pentole e fornelli dimenticando tutto il resto, per dare il meglio di sé.
Ecco le Food Blogger di Snello BlindBox 04 – Bagattelle d'Inverno, vere animatrici dell'evento, che con le loro ricette e la loro esperienza renderanno onore ai prodotti Snello, Gusto e Benessere.
Loro si presentano così...
Lina D’Ambrosio
spadellatissima.com
Quando le chiedi di descriversi ,lei si presenta così: "Sono industrial designer e grafica, con una grande passione, quella del Food Blogging". Eppure non è tutto: inguaribile amante del buon cibo, dei viaggi, dell'arte e della fotografia, è sempre irresistibilmente affascinata mdai molteplici modi in cui un animo creativo può riuscire a esprimersi. Una frase che la descrive: "Mi piacciono la semplicità e la genuinità delle cose fatte in casa."
Serena Oliva
cucchiaiodistelle.com
Nella vita professionale, è architetto e designer, e per questo studia la relazione tra gli esseri umani e la tecnologia. Tuttavia, ha anche un'altra vita, quella da foodie, in cui è innanzitutto una mamma e una Food Blogger che progetta ricette, cucina piatti colorati, sani e golosi, cuoce il pane in casa e disegna insieme ai suoi bambini. Il motto che ha scelto per sé? "If in doubt, bake a cake"
Irene Prandi
Psicologa, piemontese, animata da una vera passione per la comunicazione e la condivisione, ha trovato nell'arte del cibo un mezzo straordinario per celebrare entrambe. Il suo viaggio da Food Blogger inizia con un blog creato in sordina, tuttavia in molti la notano e in ancora di più la seguono. Insomma, et voilà, il suo cammino continua rigoglioso, condito da sapori, ricette, un grande amore per il territorio, e tanta curiosità per tutto ciò che è "altro".
Arianna Vianelli
unafranciacortinaincucina.com
Non c'è dubbio, il suo nome è già un affermazione forte e chiara. Dice subito chi è e da dove viene. Almeno tanto quanto il suo blog nato dal desiderio di ritagliarsi uno spazio tutto proprio dove raccogliere e condividere le sue più grandi passioni: la cucina, il vino, gli amici e la Franciacorta.
Insomma, semplicità e ironia, ricette ed eventi, vini locali
e non solo, sono gli ingredienti di "una franciacortina in cucina".
Quindi, tra la stuzzicante prospettiva di gustosissimi lecca lecca di parmigiano con crudo e bresaola e prove di formine su pasta sfoglia con fette di prosciutto, in attesa delle prelibatezze imprevedibili che ci prepareranno le nostre sfidanti – adulte ;-) – non resta che invitarvi a conoscere un po’ meglio Lina, Serena, Irene e Arianna, giovani, pimpanti e agguerrite Food Blogger che ancora una volta ci delizieranno di una versione inconsueta e sorprendente dei prodotti che amiamo di più, con un occhio attento, come sempre, alla stagionalità.
SnelloBlindBox_04_CucinaTuVi abbracciamo, dunque, in un turbinio di coriandoli che non lascia presagire niente di… scontato :-)
e invitiamo tutti voi a fare festa con noi a Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno il 6 marzo 2014, alle ore 18.30 e – perché no – a cimentarvi, insieme alle nostre “chef per passione”, in ricette e piatti che, siamo sicuri, saranno gustosissimi. Come raccogliere la sfida? Semplice, partecipando a Snello BlindBox CucinaTu – l’iniziativa pensata apposta per la #gente_di_MondoSnello che ormai ci segue da molto tempo.
In attesa di assaporare tutto il meglio che Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno saprà regalarci – e non abbiamo dubbi - a presto!

Taken for Our Daily Challenge .. Paper. I'm rather proud of this paper. This is Our Maine Street Magazine with one of my pictures. OMS contacted me asking for permission to use one of my photos to accompany a story by an Amish man telling the story of his family's move from NY state to Maine. They mirrored my photo and applied a fresco effect. A very high quality magazine.
