There's a new game we like to play, you see
A game with added reality
You treat me like a dog, get me down on my knees
We call it master and servant
We call it master and servant
It's a lot like life, this play between the sheets
With you on top and me underneath
Forget all about equality
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing
If you despise that throwaway feeling
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Domination's the name of the game
In bed or in life, they're both just the same
Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day
Let's play master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on
Come on
Master and servant
It's a lot (it's a lot)
It's a lot (it's a lot)
It's a lot (master and servant)
It's a lot (it's a lot)
It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing (it's a lot like life)
If you despise that throwaway feeling (it's a lot like life)
From disposable fun
Then this is the one
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant
Let's play master and servant
Come on, master and servant

Nebamun was a Egyptian scribe and grain-counter who died around 1350 B.C. He is now remembered for his tomb, in the necropolis at Thebes, and its painting - eleven of them (including this) is now on display at British Museum. This one depicts servants who bring offerings - desert hares, sheaves of grains and other. This was a common theme in Egyptian grave paintings.

« Faisant face à la Collégiale Saint-Jean, le parking Neujean n’est pas en reste architecturalement parlant. Son plan limpide est l’expression d’un fonctionnalisme appuyé, servant pleinement le confort de l’automobiliste. Séparés par une étroite ruelle, les deux édifices entretiennent un dialogue discret, que je propose d’activer au moyen d’un “objet contemporain” – la culture faisant office d’articulation plus ou moins fertile entre deux époques presque révolues. Plus près de Toi se présente depuis la rue comme une sculpture jaune coiffant la façade en béton du parking. Au 5e étage, on en découvre un fragment en interaction avec l’intervention d’Adrien Lucca. Depuis le toit, l’objet s’avèrera être une sorte de plate-forme d’observation qui s’avance dans le vide suivant une pente légère, entre le chœur et la rotonde de Saint-Jean. Aussi hasardeux qu’il en ait l’air, ce promontoire répond aux normes de sécurité en vigueur et nous laisserons à chacun le libre choix de l’emprunter pour s’y photographier, prêcher ou faire ce que bon lui semble. »
"Facing the Collegiate Church of Saint-Jean, the Neujean car park is not to be outdone architecturally. Its clear plan is the expression of strong functionalism, fully serving the comfort of the motorist. Separated by a narrow lane, the two buildings maintain a discreet dialogue, which I propose to activate by means of a “contemporary object” - the culture serving as a more or less fertile articulation between two almost bygone eras. Closer to You appears from the street as a yellow sculpture covering the concrete facade of the parking lot. On the 5th floor, we discover a fragment of it interacting with the intervention of Adrien Lucca. From the roof, the object will turn out to be a sort of observation platform that juts out into the void on a slight slope, between the choir and the rotunda of Saint John. As hazardous as it may seem, this promontory meets current safety standards and we will leave it to everyone to choose to borrow it to take pictures, preach or do what they want. "

I've found a way
To feel immortal
To feel alive
I've found a way
To kill the boredom
Until the apathy subsides
We all wonder where the cancer's growing
So close to hell you see the embers glowing
I've found a way
To be myself
To free myself
Oh don't say
Don't say the party is over
Don't say that this is the end
Don't feel alive when I'm sober
So I'll drink myself to death
Don't fool yourself
You sleep with serpents
Although they bite
Don't fool yourself
You drink the poison
You know your enemy won't die
Have we doomed ourselves to live as servants?
One thousand cigarettes your lungs are burnin'
Don't fool yourself
You wound yourself
With your last breath
Oh you'll beg
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
I'm on my own
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It's all I know

Ruin of Teylingen Castle
The ruin of Teylingen Castle is a round moated castle that dominates the flat landscape. Originally there was only a ring wall; the keep was added later in the thirteenth century. In addition to the current castle, there was an extensive outer castle, which was also surrounded by a moat. A comfortable and luxurious house was built here in the fourteenth century.
The castle today consists of the still impressive round castle (37 m in diameter) on a castle island surrounded by a wide moat. On the inside of the wall you can see large savings arches on which a wall corridor has been placed. The massive residential building had also been erected against the wall. It is now an empty hull, but it used to have four storeys, the first of which was vaulted. The beam holes of the top floors can still be seen in the interior.
The castle was originally inhabited by the lords of Teylingen. The castle served to protect the Rijndijk and the road to Haarlem. The lords of Teylingen first appear in 1143. It is likely that the lords of Teylingen had borrowed the castle and the surrounding land from a count. In 1282 this family died out in the male line and the castle passed to the count.
The castle was given the function of hunting lodge and forester by the Dutch counts and the feudal man was given the title of forester and actually became a kind of civil servant with responsibility for management.
The most famous forester was Jacoba van Bavaria (1433). She came from the highest noble circles, but due to an unwanted marriage to Frank van Borsele had forfeited her rights to countlessness. She died of TB in 1436.
The castle was badly damaged during the Eighty Years' War. In 1572, during the siege of Haarlem and Leiden, Teylingen fell prey to the Spaniards and was reduced to ruin.
In 1888, the now heavily neglected castle was transferred to the state and the management of the monument was mainly focused on preservation and only since 1933 has further deterioration been prevented by constructive measures.
Since 1 June 2013, the ruin has been managed by: Stichting Beheer Kasteel Teylingen.
The St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel forms the frontispiece of St Pancras railway station in St Pancras, London. The station is one of the main rail termini in London and the final stop for international trains departing to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and other destinations in mainland Europe. It re-opened in 2011, and occupies much of the former Midland Grand Hotel designed by George Gilbert Scott which opened in 1873 and closed in 1935. The hotel is managed by Marriott International.
St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel
The building as a whole including the apartments is known as St Pancras Chambers and between 1935 and the 1980s was used as railway offices.. The upper levels of the original building were redeveloped between 2005 and 2011 as apartments by the Manhattan Loft Corporation. Its clock tower stands at 76 m (249 ft) tall, with more than half its height usable.
Hotels history
In 1865 the Midland Railway Company held a competition for the design of a 150-bed hotel to be constructed next to its railway station, St Pancras, which was still under construction at the time. Eleven designs were submitted, including one by George Gilbert Scott, which, at 300 rooms, was much bigger and more expensive than the original specifications. Despite this, the company liked his plans and construction began.[3] Scott's design was for a hotel with five floors below roof level but in the event it was built with four (which remains the case today) to save on construction costs – although the Midland Railway frequently reproduced Scott's original impression, showing the hotel with its non-existent top floor, in its publicity material. The east wing opened on 5 May 1873,[9] with the Midland Railway appointing Herr Etzensberger (formerly of the Victoria Hotel, Venice) as general manager. The hotel was completed in spring 1876.[10]
Design of the Midland Grand Hotel St Pancras, showing the fifth floor which was not built, c. 1876
The hotel was expensive, with costly fixtures including a grand staircase, rooms with gold leaf walls and a fireplace in every room. It had many innovative features such as hydraulic lifts, concrete floors, revolving doors and fireproof floor constructions, though none of the rooms had bathrooms, as was the convention of the time.
The hotel was taken over by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1922 before closing in 1935, by which time its utilities were outdated and too costly to maintain, such as the armies of servants needed to carry chamber pots, tubs, bowls and spittoons.
After closing as a hotel, the building was renamed St Pancras Chambers and used as railway offices, eventually for British Rail.
British Rail had hoped to demolish it, but was thwarted in a high-profile campaign by Jane Hughes Fawcett and her colleagues at the Victorian Society, a historic preservationist organisation founded in part to preserve the Victorian railways and other buildings. Officials dubbed Jane Fawcett the "furious Mrs Fawcett" for her unceasing efforts, and in 1967, the Hotel and the St Pancras station received Grade I listed status.
The building continued its use as rail offices, until the 1980s when it failed fire safety regulations and was shut down. The exterior was restored and made structurally sound at a cost of around £10 million in the 1990s.[

Near the kitchen, in the servant’s common area and sometimes in the servant’s room, bells were installed and labelled to match the room or master in which they rang. Each bell hung from a coil with a suspended pendulum and was attached to a copper wire that travelled throughout the house.

Looking from the east in the morning, the side entrance to Kersefontein. Everybody can and does use it now, not just the servants...
Around 140 km/85 miles north of Cape Town, Kersefontein is a farmstead with many period Cape Dutch buildings, some dating back to the late 18th Century... very old in South Africa.
Originally purchased by settler Martin Melck in 1770, Kersefontein remains in the possession of the eighth generation of his descendants. The first deed described the farm as a 'zeker Veepost' (certain cattle post) and it remains used to farm sheep, cattle, horses and wheat as it has for a quarter of a millennium. It is also available for farm-stays.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.
