Most signs for this attraction at Beijing's Happy Valley correctly named Drifting Through Fairyland.
The annual tractor parade through historic downtown Mocksville is a celebration of North Carolina’s rich farming heritage and a celebration of the great American spirit of Independence with a tribute to our military veterans.
A few days ago it snowed. The roof you see in the photo quickly changed from a quite uniform gray (which you can see in this old photo) to a beautiful snowy white.
Then the snow stopped and it started melting off. During the process, though, I noticed that streaks of snow lingered on the roof... showing the location of the rafters.
This gives an idea of the heat leaking through the roof, and the slight additional insulation afforded by the rafters' extra thickness of wood.
Finally got rid of the broken double glazing and had a new window fitted. No longer must I look at the garden through a misty, dripping, haze!
The Postcard
A postally unused Comic Series postcard that was published in the mid 1960's by Bamforth & Co. Ltd. of Holmfirth, Yorkshire. The artwork is by Fitzpatrick.
The card, which has a divided back, was printed in England.
Bamforth & Co. (1870-1990)
James Bamforth began his career as a manufacturer of lantern slides. In 1890 he started production of illustrated song lyric slides that audiences could sing along to at shows. This quickly became his most popular selling item. In the years following, the Company became the largest producer of life model slides.
From this vast photo inventory Bamforth began to publish a variety of postcard types including comics, greetings, propaganda, real photos and views, but especially song sets, many of which were reproduced from lantern slide images.
Today they are best remembered for their series of saucy seaside postcards, which may have numbered close to a 100,000 different titles. While this series was begun in 1902, they did not become very popular until the 1930’s.
In 1906 Bamforth opened a New York Office at 35 West 21st. Street. By 1910 they had become a Limited company. The Company was sold to E. T. W. Dennis, but in 2000 the rights to their images were purchased by Ian Walker.

Verdun Memorial
True to the vision of the founders, the 1916 battlefield experience remains at the heart of the Memorial. Set in a glass cage, overlapping screens offer 100 m2 of images. The audiovisual show projected on them conveys the violence of the battle and the ground shakes as the shells rain down. The show brings together archive images and the art through which the soldiers expressed their experiences. All around the audiovisual exhibit, in cases of rough-hewn timber, are day-to-day objects used by the troops, modest and fragile evidence of their presence. They bring us a different vision of the battle, of the soldiers as people. Further on, with the roar of motors and archive images, the lorries and guns advancing along the Voie Sacrée ("Sacred Way") show the logistics that were involved in the colossal battle. At the end of this first level, visitors enter a small space, tucked under the battlefield screens. This is where you gain an idea of what it was like to be a soldier, sheltering in a shell hole on the battle’s front line.
The first floor explores the battle environment. Who commanded the battle? What was life like behind the French and German front lines? What role did aircraft play in this, history’s first air battle? There is also an opportunity to peep over the shoulder of a soldier on leave. The last section of the visit is dedicated to the heroic work of the medical staff. The tour ends in the original entrance hall, with a display on the history of the Memorial.
The top floor is bathed in light and offers views over the surrounding area. Visitors can step out onto the terraces and view the landscape. Multi-media kiosks tell the story of the battlefield. Using modern aerial images, they point out the scars left by the war, concealed today by the forest. Virtual reality headsets offer visitors a different viewpoint on the battlefield, before, during and after the fighting. This floor also houses the temporary exhibitions space, as well as a documentation centre, open by appointment
There is no indication in the manual of how to thread the filament through the machine. There are some holes on the top surface of the main body that look like they could do the job. After passing through the hole, the filament can be clamped inside the cold extrusion head by pressing down on the side lever, inserting the filament, and releasing the lever.
