A National Historic Landmark
Also called Nisei Camp Cemetery
Desha County, AR
Listed: 07/06/1992
Designated an NHL: 07/06/1992
The Rohwer Relocation Camp at Rohwer, Arkansas (of which the twenty-four concrete headstones, two entrance markers, and two tall concrete monuments found in the Memorial Cemetery are contributing resources) was constructed by the federal government in the late summer and early fall of 1942 as part of the response to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Executive Order #9066 which empowered the United States Military to prescribe military areas of strategic importance within the borders of the United States and to exclude persons from those areas at the discretion of the Secretary of War. Under this order, over 110,000 Japanese aliens and Japanese-Americans were relocated from the three Pacific Coast states - California, Oregon and Washington - to ten relocation camps within the western and central regions of the United States.
The Rohwer Relocation Camp Memorial Cemetery features exquisitely detailed and distinctive funerary monuments which were designed and erected by the evacuees themselves during their internment; of the three relocation camp cemeteries that survive, Rohwer is singularly significant as the largest, the most elaborately detailed, and the most unique. As such, the site is eligible under Exclusion Five (5) for "[a] cemetery that derives its primary national significance from ... an exceptionally distinctive design or from an exceptionally significant event," under National Historic Landmark Criterion One (1) for its outstanding association with the federal government's Japanese-American relocation policies during World War n, and under National Historic Landmark Criterion One (1) for the distinctive and exceptional artistic design elements of the funerary monuments in the cemetery and their exclusive relationship to the Rohwer internment. The National Historic Landmark nomination of the Rohwer Relocation Camp Memorial Cemetery falls within the theme of World War II/The Home Front.

At first, I thought it was stealing baby potatoes, but it looks like I accidentally disrupted someone's acorn store while pulling some potatoes from the bin this afternoon. Trip after trip, one acorn at a time, the squirrel found a new (and hopefully better!) spot for it's spoils. September 1, 2014 - Day 244
Because of how the blonde had a lot more surface damage, odor issues, loose elastic and balding spots, I decided that masking tape feet guy could have benefitted better from the parts than him.
So with a bit of yanking and crying, Masking Tape guy had the limbs of Blondie, and hands from an Obitsu male Normal body’s hands, which, btw has the perfect sized posts to fit into Vintage Joe arms.
Alpha Joe didn’t have much to do except I swapped out his hands with a pair of repro GI Joe hands so I’m pretty proud to have almost two complete Vintage Joes for Under $10. Their hair is pretty darn full of flocking too, I just need to carefully pick out the dust and lint that has matted it, as well as touch up their paint and scruffed noses.
poor Blondie though is just parts bait til i figure out what to do with him.
Workers from Artech Fine Art Services prepare a section of the Chief William Shelton Story Pole for transportation to a storage facility in Kent. The 73-year-old story pole was removed from display on the Capitol Campus, cut into seven sections and stored in the Capitol greenhouse after extensive wood rot deemed it unsafe in 2010.

Cindy Sherman (b. 1954)
Chromogenic print
The woman pictured here is Cindy Sherman, but as is always the case with the artist’s photographs of herself, Untitled is not a self-portrait. Instead, Sherman has used clothing and cosmetics to remodel herself as a society grande dame, one whose world-weary gaze, pasty makeup, and imperious yet hesitant pose suggest that she knows her best days are behind her. This work belongs to one of the artist’s most recent series of self-transformations: a group of large-scale photographs in which she adopts the guises of various aging socialites, exploring our societal preoccupations with youth, beauty, and glamour. Sherman’s photographs are remarkable for their ability to conjure, via judicious cues of dress, makeup, and gesture, a staggering range of recognizable social types. Whether they are fantastical creatures or ordinary people, her imaginary characters often provoke responses that are the antithesis of artifice: a sense of familiarity, and often empathy.

The Whitney Museum of American Art, known informally as the "Whitney", was founded in 1931 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), a wealthy and prominent American socialite and art patron. The museum focuses on 20th- and 21st-century American art, with a permanent collection that comprises more than 21,000 pieces by more than 3,000 artists.
The Whitney occupied a modernist Upper East Side building from 1966 through 2014 before relocating to its current home, a nine-story, 200,000-square-foot Renzo Piano-designed building at 99 Gansevoort Street, in May 2015.
The Rohwer War Relocation Center was a World War II Japanese American concentration camp located in the Delta region of rural southeastern Arkansas, in Desha County. It was in operation from September 18, 1942 to November 30, 1945, and held as many as 8,475 Japanese Americans forcibly evacuated from California. Among the inmates, the notation "朗和 (Rōwa)" was sometimes applied.
The Rohwer War Relocation Center Cemetery is located here. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, and was declared a National Historic Landmark quickly thereafter.
The Rohwer War Relocation Center site is now an Arkansas State University Heritage Site, and features a memorial, the camp cemetery, interpretive panels, and audio kiosks.
The Japanese American Internment Museum opened in the former Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot in the nearby town of McGehee in 2013. It serves as the history museum and unofficial visitor center for the Rohwer War Relocation Center. Exhibits include a film, oral histories, photographs and personal artifacts of the internees.
The dedication ceremony for the museum featured the actor, activist, and former camp incarceree George Takei giving a speech. His narration is also featured on a number of the audio displays.

Good things happen while walking the Cumbria Coastal Path and this is another. Today marks the third occasion I have passed through Silloth on walking trips and for sure familiarity is breeding appreciation. I usually stop here at Berry's cafe on Criffel Street where value for money reigns supreme. Perhaps the presentation fails to meet the standard of the Savoy Grill but goodness me, a cinnamon toasted tea-cake, two buttered rolls and a decent sized cup of tea all for £1.88! I was so taken aback I asked the lass to check the price again, and it was correct...Keswick take note!

Bunnings Warehouse original Cannington store located at 1347 Albany Highway on a block bounded by Richmond Street, Mason Street and Carden Drive. Opened in the late 1990's it was a smaller design with a separate building at the rear housing the builders timber section on the Richmond Street side. At the front was a large car park facing Albany Highway shared with Rebel Sport (itself maintaining old signage) and Chemist Warehouse.
As with other locations around Australia Bunnings has been moving from some of its smaller warehouses from the late 1990's or early 2000's to newly built larger stores as sites become available. In the case of Cannington they moved around 1km away to a new site on the corner of Albany Highway and Liege Street which was vacated by the Cannington Greyhound Racing Club when it moved to a new track immediately behind the old one. Construction of the new store took place during 2016 with it set to open in November but was ultimately delayed with works to connect the car parking to adjoining streets delayed.
As the move date neared stock in the old store was wound down - most notable in the garden centre which was near empty in the final week. The final day of trade at the old site was Friday February 3 2017 with the new store opening the following day. An official opening of the new store was to take place the following weekend.
The once bustling home of Capital Steel, one of China's largest steel works located at the heart of Beijing (about 10KM from Tianmen Square), now deserted and only fequented by photographers after its annoucement to relocate to Tangshan. The site will be re-developed into a animation development and entertainment park.

Interceptor line relocation underway
CORONA, Calif. — U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy participated in ground breaking ceremonies at the relocation of the Santa Ana River Interceptor line Oct. 11.
The SARI line is a regional sanitary sewer line that serves Yorba Linda, east Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley and portions of Garden Grove.
According to the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority, the SARI line was built nearly 40 years ago and was 20 feet below the surface. Decades of scouring and last year’s December storms threatened the line and required a reduced flow from Prado Dam and reinforcement by county workers at two locations to protect it.
“Thanks to our partners, this work will have a significant impact along the course of the Santa Ana River Mainstem project,” said Toy.
In support of the Mainstem project, Prado Dam’s flood basin has been increased by more than 140,000 acre-feet and river banks have been widened and strengthened below the dam to handle its new release capacity of 30,000 cubic feet per second, previously limited to 5,000 cfs.
The SARI line’s new course will mostly parallel State Route 91. Where it has to pass under the river, it will be well below the calculated scour depth for the estimated operational life of the project, which is 100 years.
As part of the ceremony participants got to sign a section of the 54-inch pipeline. Toy took the opportunity to endorse the project with the District motto, "Building Strong and Taking Care of People."

I am recommissioning the Suzuki TS50 that I have owned from new in 1976, and that I imported to the UK from South Africa in 2009. On the evening of Monday, October 8, 2012 I worked on the switchgear electricals, and removed the handlebars and instrument cluster. I also made a major cock-up. I thought that all four handlebar mounting bolts strewed directly into thread on the yoke. This was the case, but I didn't realise that the front pair also had an additional nut on the bottom of the yoke that secured the intrument cluster mounting bracket. I simply thought that they were super tight and applied spanner pressure, shearing the beautiful old bolts. I managed to get the sheared thread out of the yoke using a second nut tightened to the remaining stub of thread, and ordered replacement NOS bolts from CMS in the Netherlands. Sadly, they're not of the same quality as the 1976 originals, but such is life. I live and learn!

I am glad to have finally have seen inside St Giles.
This must have been my 3rd or 4th attempt, finding the way up to the walkways, then seeing the church in the distance but the skyways take me in the wrong direction. Like some Kafkaesque dream, so near and yet so far.
I visit The Barbican on my first phototrip to London 9n 1987, just one shot inside the Centre and one of the fountains outside, and that is all that I have to remember. But then without those two shots, I would say I had not been here at all.
Dad used to work in The Barbican. Brooke Marine had a contract to refurbish kitchens of flats when somebody new moved in. And that's how he met Clive James one day. In a lift. Those Japanese are mad aren't they? Is the sum total of Dad's conversation with Clive. James had just started his "on TV" series, and the Japanese game show, "Endurance" was all the rage..
Dad also escaped the Aldgate Tube disaster by a few minutes, catching the next train down the line, thus avoiding crashing into the buffers. I did not realise for years how close he came to the end that day.
St Giles is almost impossible to get to, I walked round The Barbican, then under it, and then through the Centre before being directed up some stairs.
And then seeing it wasn't enough, almost like keep it in your peripheral vision so it don't know you're looking for it.
But I did get there, and it was open.
-------------------------------------------------
St Giles has the most startling setting of perhaps any English medieval church. A foundation of the 11th Century, the church was rebuilt after a fire in 1545, that is to say right at the very end of the Medieval period, and looks what it is, a big late Perpendicular East Anglian church, the tower rebuilt in the 17th Century but otherwise looking as if it might be beside the market place in a small Norfolk or Suffolk town. This is disingenuous of course, because the reason for it is the same in both cases, fabulous wealth on the eve of the Reformation.
Historically this was for centuries the largest parish in the City, and the most populous. It was certainly the poorest. The parish was particularly badly affected by the Great Plague of 1665, losing perhaps a third of its entire population. St Giles was too far north to be burned in the Great Fire, but reaped a benefit from it because of the large number of people relocating to the parish from nearer the river. The drains were culverted, and there was plenty of money for repairs and refurbishments. In the 19th Century the church was made more Gothic than it was already with the addition of battlements along the aisles and clerestories.
Along with most of the area to the north of Cannon Street and the south of Old Street, St Giles was completely destroyed on the evening of 29th December 1940, when high winds and the lack of firewatchers due to the Christmas holidays conspired to fan the flames created by wave upon wave of German bombers. For more than ten years St Giles stood a ruin, as the City Corporation pondered what to do with the area. That St Giles would be rebuilt was not in question, but it would need to be as part of the unified whole envisaged for the area north of London Wall, the largest single bomb site in the whole of the British Isles. The usage of the area would need to be largely residential, as the Corporation was concerned about the depopulation of the City, but should also include spaces for arts, recreation and education. Cost was not a factor, there was plenty of money available.
The result was the largest single building project in England during those post-war years. The Corporation accepted the plans submitted in 1956 by its favourite architectural practice Chamberlin, Powell & Bon. The new area would be home to high-rise and low-rise residential buildings all linked together through gardens, with an arts centre at the core. Significantly, it wasn't intended that retail spaces would form a significant part of the scheme. In a brave and revolutionary gesture, the new scheme would be entirely traffic free, the road carried under the site through a tunnel. A revised plan of 1959 allowed for the walkways of the new scheme to be linked into the raised walkways planned to spread like a web throughout the City - although fortunately, apart from London Wall and Upper and Lower Thames Street, this web was never built. The new scheme took its name from the main street which had run through the site, which in turn was named for a medieval fortification to the north of the Wall. And so the Barbican began to rise from the ashes.
With the scheme underway St Giles could be restored, and it reopened in 1960 to the design of Godfrey Allen. Bearing in mind that the interior had been entirely destroyed, and considering the modernist city which was arising around it, the restoration was very conservative, the new interior replicating as far as possible what was there before, some of the furnishings coming from the demolished church of St Luke, Old Street, which had been put in storage. The east end of the chancel was new, but based on architectural details which had survived the 19th Century restoration. There is some decent post-war glass, and memorials to some of the church's worthies including John Milton.
And so it is only outside that St Giles is extraordinary. After twenty years of work the Barbican was opened in 1981, the last great post-war repair project to be completed. The church floats like a great ship in a sea of concrete, an illusion furthered by its position beside one of the Barbican waterways. Some memorials have been reset in the brick and concrete. Beyond is the Barbican Centre, and above rise the great shafts of the towers. When they were built they were the tallest residential buildings in Europe, unashamedly modernist in their concrete jaggedness. And yet there is a pleasing harmony to the whole, the contrasting tower of St Giles sticking up perpendicularly to join them. Of course, you wouldn't want every church in this kind of setting, but I think it works here. And, as in centuries past, St Giles remains the most populous parish in the City.
There was, of course, an emotional reasoning behind rescuing the City churches after the Blitz, because they had become emblematic of the 'London can take it' attitude. Wandering around the City I am struck that with the possible exception of 30 St Mary Axe, the Barbican towers are still the most refreshingly Modern buildings in the Square Mile, and they are now almost forty years old. Much of the corporate architecture along Bishopsgate is simply dire, especially the awful Heron Tower, and it is hard to remember that the NatWest Tower or whatever it is called now ever looked Modern.
