Essaouira (Arabic: الصويرة; Berber: Mugadur), formerly known as Mogador, is a city in the western Moroccan economic region of Marrakesh-Safi, on the Atlantic coast. The modern name means "the little rampart", a reference to the fortress walls that still enclose part of the city.
The present city of Essaouira was built during the 18th century. Mohammed III, wishing to reorient his kingdom toward the Atlantic for increased exchanges with European powers, chose Mogador as his key location. One of his objectives was to establish a harbour at the closest possible point from Marrakesh.[10] The other was to cut off trade from Agadir in the south, which had been favouring political rival of Mohammed III, and the inhabitants of Agadir were forced to relocate to Essaouira.[10]
For 12 years, Mohammed III directed a French engineer, Théodore Cornut, and several other European architects and technicians to build the fortress and city along modern lines.[10][11] Originally called "Souira" ("the small fortress"), the name became "Es-Saouira" ("the beautifully designed").
Harbour fortifications were built by an English renegade named Ahmed El Alj in 1770, as described in the sculptured inscription in Arabic (right).
Thédore Cornut designed and built the city itself, particularly the Kasbah area, corresponding to the royal quarters and the buildings for Christian merchants and diplomats. Other parts were built by other foreigners. The harbour entrance, with the "Porte de la Marine", was built by an English renegade by the names of Ahmed el Inglizi ("Ahmed the English") or Ahmed El Alj ("Ahmed the Renegade").[11] The two "scalas" with their fortifications (the Harbour scala and the Northern scala) were built by Genoese engineers.
Mohammed III took numerous steps to encourage the development of Essaouira: the harbour of Agadir to the south was closed off in 1767, so that southern trade should be redirected through Essaouira. European communities in the northern harbour of Rabat-Salé were ordered to move to Essaouira through an ordinance of January 21, 1765.
From the time of its rebuilding by Muhammad III until the end of the nineteenth century, Essaouira served as Morocco's principal port, offering the goods of the caravan trade to the world. The route brought goods from sub-Saharan Africa to Timbuktu, then through the desert and over the Atlas mountains to Marrakech. The road from Marrakech to Essaouira is a straight line, explaining the king's choice of this port among the many that the Moroccan coast offers.

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."
The Mahamuni Pagoda in Mandalay is the second most important Buddhist shrine in Burma and a major centre of pilgrimage, the main draw being the famous golden Buddha image housed at the heart of the temple.
The gilded bronze Buddha is particularly venerated as it was believed to have been cast during the Buddha's lifetime, commemorating his visit to Arakan in the south west of the country and thus is reputed to be the closest likeness of him. The statue has been relocated several times since and has been in Mandalay since it was made the royal capital in the mid 19th century. Generations of devotees have applied small pieces of gold leaf to the body of the figure over the last couple of centuries which has resulted in the form and detail of all but the face being lost under ever growing outer layers, in some places several inches thick!
The temple complex itself is of mid 19th century date and has been restored several times after fire damage. Everywhere within the main halls is the glint of gold, with walls and pillars adorned with gold leaf and paint.

Iwasaki, Hikaru, 1923-, Photographer
St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on 23rd Street, NW is a red-brick Gothic Revival church that was designed by the same architect of the Smithsonian Castle and St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, James Renwick. Amongst the notable features of the church are its Tiffany glass windows.
The congregation got its start in 1867 when twenty-eight African Americans decided to leave the predominantly white Church of the Epiphany to establish the first African American congregation in Washington. At the time, African Americans were often not allowed to worship at the same masses as whites and they had to hold separate services. In lieu of this, blacks often found that creation of their own congregation was their only real alternative to having a full-time place of worship.
When the aspiring individuals decided to begin a congregation of their own, they were faced with two difficult but essential challenges—acquiring both land and a church. Luckily they were assisted by two separate congregations on each of these fronts–the Church of the Epiphany and St. John’s Church. A member of St. John’s, Mrs. Catherine Pearson, was kind enough to donate this lot along 23rd Street for erection of a yet-to-determined church. The Church of the Epiphany then worked with Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton to aid in the donation of a church building. The church offered by Stanton was from one of the fifty former hospitals established for the purpose of aiding wounded soldiers during the Civil War (each of which was in the process of being shut down). The selected building had to be torn down from its Kalorama Hospital lot, relocated to this site and then reconstructed.
Unfortunately just a few years after opening their first church on this site, the congregation had already outgrown its home. Planning began in 1882 for a larger facility. Restricted with a meager budget of only $15,000 in 1882, the church managed to obtain an unused design from famed architect James Renwick which they proceeded to follow. The building opened on January 20, 1887 and is said to have conformed to nearly every detail of Renwick’s original design.
The church is open most days for visitation. If you are able to peek inside to admire the building, be sure to take some time to admire the painted glass windows that reside over the altar. Here you will see a tribute to the 3rd century bishop of Carthage, St. Cyprian.

Georgian artist, but soon relocated to Moscow.
Tsereteli came to befriend Moscow's mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who secured some important commissions for him, including the reconstruction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Manege Square ensemble and the War Memorial Complex on Poklonnaya Gora. Luzhkov also allowed him to occupy an old mansion in downtown Moscow, which now houses the Zurab Tsereteli Gallery and where his life-size statue of Vladimir Putin is on display. He is acquainted with Eunice Kennedy Shriver through the Special Olympics. He designed and installed a monument (called Happiness to the Children of the World) on the campus of SUNY Brockport commemorating the 1979 Special Olympics and the International Year of the Child.
Although he was educated as a painter, outside of the territory of the former USSR, Tsereteli is perhaps best known for his monuments, which can been seen in the United States, England, Spain, Italy, France, Israel, Japan, and Russia.
Heart Mountain Relocation Center
Directly in front of you was the hospital complex. The structures remaining are the boiler house and chimney, two slabs that were warehouse foundations, one building that was the kitchen and dining room, and one building that was the ambulance office, emergency room and surgery room. The white building to the right was an administration apartment.
The 150-bed hospital complex opened on August 27, 1942 with Dr. Charles Irwin as the Chief Medical Officer. The hospital consisted of 17 wings built from barracks and connected by a long central hallway. Velma Berryman Kessel of Powell, Wyoming, who was a registered nurse at the camp, recalls, "The hallway, which had windows on each side, was not heated so it was like an oven in summer and frigid in winter." The hospital was self-contained with steam heat, laundry and kitchen facilities. When fully staffed, there were 9 physicians, 11 dentists, 3 optometrists, 10 registered nurses, 49 nurse's aides, 10 pharmacists and an ambulance service. Doctors staffing the hospital were internees. Nurses were both Caucasian and internees, and nurse's aides were internees. Internee doctors were paid $19 the same as a U.S. Army private. The Caucasian nurses were paid $150 per month, per month, the internee nurses $16 per month and the aides $12.
The Health Services Section provided dental, clinical, optometry, limited x-ray and laboratory services. Among the illnesses treated in the wards were pneumonia, croup, sore throats, earaches, flu, diarrhea, cancer, cardiac problems, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, ulcers and depression. The stress of incarceration added to health problems for the internees. Accidents, resulting in broken bones, cuts and burns, were common. The majority of surgeries were tonsillectomies and appendectomies. Specialty or complicated cases were referred to hospitals in Billings, Montana. The center's hospital delivered baby formula to mothers by ambulance 24 hours a day. The ambulance drivers answered an average of thirteen emergency calls per day. The outpatient clinic saw about 130 persons per day.
The first of 566 babies born at the center was delivered Sept. 4, 1942, a boy named William Shigeru, the seventh child of Mr. and Mrs. Akiyo Miyatani, formerly of Anaheim, California. Those born at Heart Mountain came into the world as American citizens behind a barbed wire fence erected by their own government.
Well, we slept in the new house last night, and have met some of the nice people of this area.

The relocation and rebuilding of one of the world’s most popular and loved narrow gauge model railroads, the Union Central and Northern is occurring in the 2nd floor baggage room at the historic Cheyenne Depot Museum. The Union Central and Northern (UC&N) Model Railroad layout created by Harry S. Brunk of Clarkson, NE officially opened during the 2012 Depot Days. Mr. Brunk spent over 30 years handcrafting everything from the scenery to the rolling stock for this HO scale of the narrow gauge Clear Creek (Colorado) Lines of the Colorado and Southern Railway.

Wiess Park, in Beaumont, is a small park with several huge live oak trees providing the generous shade of broad canopies.
Most folks seem to prefer to spell the park's name W e i s s.
Unfortunately, the park is also home to a monument to "Our Confederate Soldiers". The monument was relocated here from Keith Park in 1926. Keith Park clearly got the better end of the deal.
Secession Convention of Texas:
A declaration of the causes
which impel the State of Texas to secede
from the Federal Union
The government of the United States, by certain joint resolutions, bearing date the 1st day of March, in the year A. D. 1845, proposed to the Republic of Texas, then a free, sovereign and independent nation, the annexation of the latter to the former, as one of the co-equal States thereof,
The people of Texas, by deputies in convention assembled, on the fourth day of July of the same year, assented to and accepted said proposals and formed a constitution for the proposed State, upon which on the 29th day of December in the same year, said State was formally admitted into the Confederated Union.
Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated States to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquillity and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people. She was received into the confederacy with her own constitution under the guarantee of the federal constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery--the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits--a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy. Those ties have been strengthened by association. But what has been the course of the government of the United States, and of the people and authorities of the non-slave-holding States, since our connection with them?
The controlling majority of the Federal Government, under various pretenses and disguises, has so administered the same as to exclude the citizens of the Southern States, unless under odious and unconstitutional restrictions, from all the immense territory owned in common by all the States on the Pacific Ocean, for the avowed purpose of acquiring sufficient power in the common government to use it as a means of destroying the institutions of Texas and her sister slave-holding States.
By the disloyalty of the Northern States and their citizens and the imbecility of the Federal Government, infamous combinations of incendiaries and outlaws have been permitted in those States and the common territory of Kansas to trample upon the federal laws, to war upon the lives and property of Southern citizens in that territory, and finally, by violence and mob law to usurp the possession of the same as exclusively the property of the Northern States.
The Federal Government, while but partially under the control of these our unnatural and sectional enemies, has for years almost entirely failed to protect the lives and property of the people of Texas against the Indian savages on our border, and more recently against the murderous forays of banditti from the neighboring territory of Mexico; and when our State government has expended large amounts for such purpose, the Federal Government has refused reimbursement therefor, thus rendering our condition more insecure and harassing than it was during the existence of the Republic of Texas.
These and other wrongs we have patiently borne in the vain hope that a returning sense of justice and humanity would induce a different course of administration.
When we advert to the course of individual non-slave-holding States, and that a majority of their citizens, our grievances assume far greater magnitude.
The States of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, by solemn legislative enactments, have deliberately, directly or indirectly violated the 3rd clause of the 2nd section of the 4th article of the federal constitution, and laws passed in pursuance thereof; thereby annulling a material provision of the compact, designed by its framers to perpetuate amity between the members of the confederacy and to secure the rights of the slave-holding States in their domestic institutions--a provision founded in justice and wisdom, and without the enforcement of which the compact fails to accomplish the object of its creation. Some of those States have imposed high fines and degrading penalties upon any of their citizens or officers who may carry out in good faith that provision of the compact, or the federal laws enacted in accordance therewith.
In all the non-slave-holding States, in violation of that good faith and comity which should exist between entirely distinct nations, the people have formed themselves into a great sectional party, now strong enough in numbers to control the affairs of each of those States, based upon the unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern States and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of the equality of all men, irrespective of race or color--a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of the Divine Law. They demand the abolition of negro slavery throughout the confederacy, the recognition of political equality between the white and the negro races, and avow their determination to press on their crusade against us, so long as a negro slave remains in these States.
For years past this abolition organization has been actively sowing the seeds of discord through the Union, and has rendered the federal congress the arena for spreading firebrands and hatred between the slave-holding and non-slave-holding States.
By consolidating their strength, they have placed the slave-holding States in a hopeless minority in the federal congress, and rendered representation of no avail in protecting Southern rights against their exactions and encroachments.
They have proclaimed, and at the ballot box sustained, the revolutionary doctrine that there is a "higher law" than the constitution and laws of our Federal Union, and virtually that they will disregard their oaths and trample upon our rights.
They have for years past encouraged and sustained lawless organizations to steal our slaves and prevent their recapture, and have repeatedly murdered Southern citizens while lawfully seeking their rendition.
They have invaded Southern soil and murdered unoffending citizens, and through the press their leading men and a fanatical pulpit have bestowed praise upon the actors and assassins in these crimes, while the governors of several of their States have refused to deliver parties implicated and indicted for participation in such offences, upon the legal demands of the States aggrieved.
They have, through the mails and hired emissaries, sent seditious pamphlets and papers among us to stir up servile insurrection and bring blood and carnage to our firesides.
They have sent hired emissaries among us to burn our towns and distribute arms and poison to our slaves for the same purpose.
They have impoverished the slave-holding States by unequal and partial legislation, thereby enriching themselves by draining our substance.
They have refused to vote appropriations for protecting Texas against ruthless savages, for the sole reason that she is a slave-holding State.
And, finally, by the combined sectional vote of the seventeen non-slave-holding States, they have elected as president and vice-president of the whole confederacy two men whose chief claims to such high positions are their approval of these long continued wrongs, and their pledges to continue them to the final consummation of these schemes for the ruin of the slave-holding States.
In view of these and many other facts, it is meet that our own views should be distinctly proclaimed.
We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.
That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding States. By the secession of six of the slave-holding States, and the certainty that others will speedily do likewise, Texas has no alternative but to remain in an isolated connection with the North, or unite her destinies with the South.
For these and other reasons, solemnly asserting that the federal constitution has been violated and virtually abrogated by the several States named, seeing that the federal government is now passing under the control of our enemies to be diverted from the exalted objects of its creation to those of oppression and wrong, and realizing that our own State can no longer look for protection, but to God and her own sons - We the delegates of the people of Texas, in Convention assembled, have passed an ordinance dissolving all political connection with the government of the United States of America and the people thereof and confidently appeal to the intelligence and patriotism of the freeman of Texas to ratify the same at the ballot box, on the 23rd day of the present month.
Adopted in Convention on the 2nd day of Feby, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one and of the independence of Texas the twenty-fifth.

Former Walgreen's at 725 Wabasha St. N & 7th st. in downtown St. Paul, MN, located in the Grace building. This Walgreen's opened in March 1942, making it one of the longest-running Walgreen's in operation, until moving across the street to the former Macy's (Dayton's) building in 2015. With 17,000-square-feet, this was a super Walgreen's for its time. This store received its first remodel in 1965, during which time the Art Deco canopy and neon signs were removed, and modern back-lit signs were installed flush with the building. Also, the entrance doors were re-configured. Nevertheless, the drugstore retained its original ceiling and windows until 2005. When the cigar shop next door became vacant, Walgreen's expanded into that space. With that expansion came a total renovation which removed the original ceiling, and replaced the original window frames. Since Walgreen's relocated in 2015, this corner space has been vacant.
View from 7th Pl. During an urban renewal at some point, 7th street was converted to a pedestrian mall and renamed 7th place. Some of the original windows were later covered up.
Former Rebel Sport Fountain Gate in the outside home maker centre shortly after relocation into the centre itself in the new section adjacent to the newly opened Myer Store.
Several centres built outside home maker centres in the 1990's which have seen mixed results. In this case customer traffic in the store was lower than the centre itself it it is around 200m outside the centre. The new store is more central but smaller compared to this one.
The Minidoka Relocation Center, 15 miles north of Twin Falls and 150 miles southeast of Boise, was also referred to as the Hunt Camp. Minidoka was considered a model environment because of its relatively peaceful atmosphere and population that got along well with the administration. Because it was not within the Western Defense Command restricted area, security was somewhat lighter than at most other camps. But when the internees first arrived, they were shocked to see the bleak landscape that was to be there home over the next three years.
Located on the Snake River Plain at an elevation of 4000 feet, the land is dotted with sagebrush and thin basaltic lava flows and cinder cones. The internees found the environment to be extremely harsh, with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees below zero to as high as 115 degrees. They also had to contend with blinding dust storms and ankle-deep mud after the rains.
Minidoka was in operation from August 10, 1942 to October 28, 1945. The reserve covered more than 33,000 acres of land in Jerome County. The camp’s peak population reached 9,397 by March 1, 1943, and it became Idaho's third largest city. Five miles of barbed wire fencing and eight watchtowers surrounded the administrative and residential areas, which were located in the west-central portion of the reserve.
Most of the people interned at Minidoka were from the Pacific Northwest: approximately 7,050 from Seattle and Bainbridge Island, Washington, 2,500 from Oregon and 150 from Alaska, including children or grandchildren of Eskimo women and Japanese men. They were temporarily housed at the Puyallup Fairgrounds in Washington, then sent by train to Idaho. In early 1943, all of the Bainbridge Island, Washington, residents interned at the Manzanar Relocation Center were transferred to Minidoka at their own request because of constant conflict with the internees from Terminal Island in Los Angeles.
The central camp consisted of 600 buildings on 950 acres. When the first internees arrived at Minidoka in August 1942, they moved into the crude barracks even though much of the camp was unfinished and there was no running water or sewage system. The Army insisted on having all Japanese removed from the West Coast at once, and they did not halt the evacuation until the camp could hold no more. The last group of 500 evacuees to arrive at the camp had to sleep in mess halls, laundry rooms, or any available bed space. Waiting in line for many daily functions, especially meals, was common.
The camp’s residential area encompassed 36 blocks and was one mile wide and three miles long. Each block included 12 tarpaper barracks, one dining hall, one laundry building with communal showers and toilets and a recreation hall. Immediately after arrival, the internees were instructed to see the camp physician, and then they received an apartment assignment. Apartments were of three sizes, and where possible, family groups or relatives were placed near each other. Efforts were later made to move people near their place of employment.
Mayor Daley's plan to expand Ohare continues well beyond his terms, as we see the 2nd relocation of the New Line in progress. The first relocation was completed 5 years ago, and now this line is being moved again 1/4 mile to the south. This series was taken while landing at Ohare on Sept. 6, 2011.

This little mother-to-be is a comb-footed spider (Enoplognatha ovata). She had originally chosen the folds between the lime green cushions in the patio furniture as the best place to place her eggsac in wait of the young ones emerging.
I can sort of see why she chose it on account of how beautifully the colour matched her own, but for us hoping to use the cushions it was less than ideal.
Instead I successufully moved both spider and egg sac to a nearby bush and they looked alright there.
