The Foshay Tower, now serving as the W Minneapolis - The Foshay, is a skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Modeled after the Washington Monument, the building was completed in 1929 in the months before the stock market crash in October of that year. It has 32 floors and stands 447 feet (136m) high, plus an antenna mast that extends the total height of the structure to 607 feet (185m). The building, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, is an example of Art Deco architecture. Its address is 821 Marquette Avenue, although it is set well back from the street and is actually closer to 9th Street than Marquette.
The renovated W Minneapolis - The Foshay opened on August 13, 2008. The hotel retains the 30th floor observation deck and converted Wilbur Foshay's former boardroom on the 27th floor into the Prohibition sky bar.

Inauguration ceremony for new health facility in Protection of Civilians site 3.
International Medial Corps has been providing emergency health services in the UN House Protection of Civilian sites since early 2014, serving a population of close to 30,000 IDPs.
With 200 staff, IMC has provided over 50,000 consultations, including more than 3,000 anti-natal and post-natal consultations and over 380 primary health consultations daily in the outpatient department; over 6,000 children have received routine health vaccinations. More than 1,400 children have been born in IMC health facilities.
With the support of UNFPA and OFDA, International Medical Corps recently upgraded reproductive health and outpatient care facilities in the site. These facilities, which were previously based in emergency tents, are now semi-permanent structures offering adequate space for care. This inauguration ceremony serves to present the new facilities and services to the community, as well as to recognize the tireless efforts of the health facility workers.
Services offered in the POC clinic include maternity and delivery, anti-natal and post-natal care, family planning, routine vaccinations, outpatient care, pharmacy, prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), HIV counseling and testing, mental health services, and community health promotion. A 24-hour ambulance service offers access to services in POC1 including 24-hour emergency and in-patient nutrition stabilization center, as well as emergency referrals to higher-level care facilities.
Here, visitors tour the new facilities.

Blackie takes her pick of peanuts. This was taken last year, as we haven't seen our favorite squirrel since last summer when Moz moved in. But now there's a new visitor -- a young girl squirrel with Blackie's smarts -- so we figure she's her offspring.

This is just one of the few buildings open to the public in Bodie.
most of my inside shots were taken with my nikon d60 using my Tokina 12-24mm lens.
Bodie, an original ghost town from the late 1800's, stands today in a state of "arrested decay". So coined by the State of California when they took over the town in 1962 to make it a State Historic Park.
In 1859 William (a.k.a. Waterman) S. Bodey discovered gold near what is now called Bodie Bluff. A mill was established in 1861 and the town began to grow. It started with about 20 miners and grew to an estimated 10,000 people by 1880! By that time, the town of Bodie bustled with families, robbers, miners, store owners, gunfighters and prostitutes of all kinds. At one time there was reported to be 65 saloons in town. Amongst the saloons were numerous brothels and 'houses of ill repute', gambling halls and opium dens. Needless to say that there was entertainment for every taste.
After a long day working the claims, the miners would head for the bars and the red light district to spend their earnings. The mixture of money, gold and alcohol would often prove fatal. It is said that there was a man killed every day in Bodie. Presumably, the undertaker never had a slow day.
There are records that say that Wm. Body took a ship from New York, around the horn to end up in San Francisco. The name of the town was changed at some point in time, before the majority of the people made their way to Bodie. There are different stories as to why - one says it was to keep the correct pronunciation of town's namesake. Another says that the sign painter didn't have the room for the tail of the lower-case "y". Today, even though Bodie is lost down a dusty 13 mile long road, off of state highway 395, it is amazing just how many people are aware of this once glorious town.
There's a story about a little girl whose family moved from San Francisco to Bodie. Depending on who tells you, or where you read it, she wrote either: "Good, by God, I'm going to Bodie" or "Goodbye God, I'm going to Bodie".
Bodie is a ghost town in the Eastern Sierras, a draw to millions of people, and a photographer's dream!
**As always I appreciate all your comments…Thank You!!**

This was one of our first trips outside of Vancouver after the lock downs in British Columbia in March and April 2020. We spent a June weekend in Whistler, BC, Canada. We stopped at one of our favourite places--the Mallard Bar at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Hotel.
We observed several changes. Everyone was wearing a mask. Plexiglass had been put up in the Mallard Bar, Check In, and Reception. There were no physical meds--you had to scan a QR code which then gave you the menu.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – 17 November 2015: The African Union (AU) has honoured and celebrated the distinguished career of one of Africa’s longest serving women Diplomats, H.E. Ambassador Kongit Sinegiorgis of Ethiopia. Ambassador Kongit spent 52 years and 10 months in the Foreign Service of Ethiopia, during which she witnessed the historic creation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) on 25 May 1963, and its transformation into the African Union on 9 July 2002.
The formal, but entertaining ceremony took place at the Headquarters of the AU on 16 November 2015, and was co-hosted by the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, and H.E. Mr. Mull Sebujja Katende, Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Uganda to the AU and Dean of the East African Region.
In her speech to honour the veteran Diplomat, the AU Commission Chairperson described Ambassador Kongit as “one of the finest daughters of our continent. An African Diplomat par excellence, who loves her country and also loves her continent.” She said that Amb. Kongit has not only fought hard for Ethiopia’s firm positions, but also for Africa’s interests.
Speaking on behalf of the East African Group of Ambassadors, H.E. Mull Sebujja Katende, said Amb. Kongit's passion over the years has never waned, describing her as a distinguished historic figure with a lot to share. This was a sentiment and a sense of admiration that were equally emphasized by all speakers, even describing her as a "walking encyclopaedia of OAU/AU."
“It is a great honour to pay tribute to you,” said the French Ambassador to Ethiopia, Amb. Brigitte Collet, noting the remarkable contribution of Amb. Kongit to Ethiopia and Africa.
The tributes were furthermore echoed online by colleagues around the world. On his Twitter account, Zimbabwe’s Ambassador to Russia, Amb. Mike Nicholas Sango, described Amb. Kongit as “a remarkable patriot, diplomat and all-round human being. She sets a high bar for us all to aspire to.”
H.E. Amb. Kongit was the former Permanent Representative of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to the AU and the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA). Ethiopia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Tedros Adhanom, and Executive Secretary of the UNECA also paid tribute to the diplomacy legend.
Dr. Carlos Lopes announced that Amb. Kongit would be associated to a $46 million project to transform into a museum the Africa House at UNECA, where the OAU was founded. Her Pan-Africanism will inform the museum project expected to be completed in 2018.
On her part, the guest of honour, Amb. Kongit, expressed her emotion-filled gratitude for the tributes paid to her while still alive. “I feel greatly honoured and deeply touched… There is no greater honour than serving one’s country to the fullest,” she remarked. She said that it was time to turn the page and have a good rest with her loving son.
The ceremony brought together members of the Diplomatic community in Addis Ababa, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia and the staff of the African Union.
H.E. Amb. Kongit Sinegiorgis was born in Harar, Ethiopia, in 1940. She obtained a BA in International Relations from the London University College, and shortly thereafter joined the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where she spent over 52 years and 10 months with different duties and responsibilities.

These ones are green so that the shared chopsticks you use to serve are obviously different than the cream coloured ones you use to eat. Cool eh!

Pictures like this have some Beloit citizens concerned about the behavior of teens and young adults "hanging out" at Riverside Park late in evenings and at night. It's a legitimate concern, but how best to handle it? What should be done?
I think this is just kids being kids. We need to find a way to embrace these kids; they represent the future adults of our community, and they will use this and other parks for decades to come.
I worked nights, but did the same thing during the day at Leeson's Park and Sweet Alynn Park when I was young. Someday, they won't be skinny dipping late at night at the Muni, but serving on the commission overseeing it. ;-)
