The genus Grevillea was first formally described in 1809 by Joseph Knight from an unpublished manuscript by Robert Brown. Knight gave the spelling Grevillia, corrected by Brown in 1810 to Grevillea in Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. The genus was named in honour of Charles Francis Greville, an 18th-century patron of botany and co-founder of the Royal Horticultural Society.
There are over 350 species which are endemic to Australia. Five other species are endemic to areas outside Australia. Three of these (G. exul, G. gillivrayi, and G. meisneri) are endemic to New Caledonia, while G. elbertii and G. papuana are endemic to Sulawesi and New Guinea respectively. Two other species, G. baileyana and G. glauca, occur in both New Guinea and Queensland.

When searching the local newspapers for John Burki, there's no mention of him. By the time of his passing in 1904, another Burki, a man of 43, had already made a name for himself.
He acted as witness for many land transactions. He was in the papers quite a lot.
"Christ Burki has the addition to the Herman Harder house about completed." (1915)
"John Egli, Herman Harder and Chris Burki went down south of the river last Saturday and brought cattle home for the winter." (1916)
A few years later, he held a huge public sale, getting rid of farm machinery, 13 head of horses and 40 head of cattle, including two milk cows.
But he wasn't retiring or going out of business, he was building a large barn and needed to consolidate to pay for it. (1919)
Christ wasn't the only Burki making the papers. There was also "Grandma Burki."
"Grandma Burki was a Gordon visitor last Thursday." (1917)
"Mrs. E. Schar and children were visiting at Grandma Burki's on Thursday." (1919)
"Rev. B. Schwartz and family from Rushville visited Grandma Burki's on Wednesday." (1919)
"Mrs. John Egil was over to visit Grandma Burki Tuesday." (1919)
After that, the trail of Grandma Burki goes cold. She could have been Anna Burki, who died in 1922. She was married to Chris Burki, but it's a different Chris Burki than the one were just talking about. To make matters more confusing, there was also another Anna Burki.
All of this and still no John Burki. And with so many Burkis with so few varying first names, this might be a mystery only a local with a long memory could solve.

Former Lake Superior and Ishpeming 2-8-0 No. 18 was in the employ of the Grand Canyon Railroad when I shot this photo in 1993 during a layover in Williams, Arizona. The engine had a second lease on life running in Colorado, but through a number of transactions, twists and turns, No. 18 is now in Pennsylvania, where it appears she's getting a full rebuild for operation again. The train had just arrived at Williams from the Grand Canyon on this day in March. Its 55-inch drivers are not the best for speed.
Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfry_of_Ghent:
The Belfry of Ghent (Dutch: Belfort van Gent) is one of three medieval towers that overlook the old city centre of Ghent, Belgium; the other two belonging to Saint Bavo Cathedral and Saint Nicholas' Church. Its height of 91 metres (299 ft) makes it the tallest belfry in Belgium. The belfry of Ghent, together with its attached buildings, belongs to the set of Belfries of Belgium and France, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Construction of the tower began in 1313 after a design by master mason Jan van Haelst. His plans are still preserved in the Ghent City Museum. After continuing intermittently through wars, plagues and political turmoil, the work reached completion in 1380. It was near the end of this period that the gilded dragon, brought from Bruges, assumed its place atop the tower. The uppermost parts of the building have been rebuilt several times, in part to accommodate the growing number of bells.
The local architect Lieven Cruyl made a design for a Baroque spire in 1684. His design was not implemented and in 1771 the campanile was finished with a spire after a design by architect Louis 't Kindt. A neo-Gothic spire of cast iron was placed on the tower in 1851. This iron spire was demolished between 1911-1913 and replaced by the current stone spire. The works were carried out under the direction of Valentin Vaerewijck whose designs were inspired by the original design from the 14th century.
Through the centuries, the belfry served not only as a bell tower to announce the time and various warnings, but also as a fortified watchtower and the place where the documents evidencing the municipal privileges were kept.
The bells in the belfry originally only served a religious purpose. Gradually the bells got a secular role by regulating daily life in the growing medieval city. The alarm bell Roland (an Anglicization of the Dutch name Roeland), which was installed in the Belfry in 1325, was also used as the hourly bell from 1378 onwards. The hourly chime was preceded by warning signals on three smaller bells with various tones. This was the predecessor of the carillon. The carillon was built by the famous bellfounders Pieter and François Hemony in the 17th century and has a total weight of 30 tons. The carillon gradually expanded to 53 bells after its restoration in 1982. In 1993 another bell, called Robert, with a clear sound was added to the carillon.
The primary bell in the tower, called Roland, was also used to warn the citizens of Ghent of an approaching enemy or a battle won. After subduing Ghent, which had risen up against him, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor ordered the removal of Roland.
The rectangular hall adjoining the belfry was built to headquarter the affairs of the cloth trade that made the city rich during the Middle Ages. Inside, woollens were officially inspected and measured; transactions were negotiated. As the cloth industry lost importance, the hall drew new occupants, including a militia guild and a fencing school. The cloth hall's construction started in 1425 and ended 20 years later, with only seven of eleven planned bays completed. In 1903, the structure was extended by four bays in accordance with the original plan.
“Lovers find secret places inside this violent world where they make transactions with beauty.
Reason says, Nonsense.
I have walked and measured the walls here.
There are no places like that.
Love says, There are.
Reason set up a market and begins doing business.
Love has more hidden work.
Hallaj steps away from the pulpit and climbs the stairs of the gallows.
Lovers feel a truth inside themselves that rational people keep denying.
It is reasonable to say, Surrender is just an idea that keeps people from living their lives.
Love responds, No.
This thinking is what is dangerous.
Using language obscures what Shams came to give.
Every day the sun rises out of low word-clouds into burning silence.”
(Poem by Rumi from “Rumi: Bridge to the Soul: Journeys into the Music and Silence of the Heart” translated by Coleman Barks)
This couple of dogs stay together, I often meet them at dawn whenever I come to Gola ghat.
They were looking far towards Malviya Bridge over the holy waters of the Ganges...

While The Boss was engaged in some commercial transactions in downtown Beamsville, Ontario (just East of Grimsby), I took advantage of the brief opportunity to engage in some free-range photography-oriented wandering through the seamy underbelly of that metropolis (such as it is). Linking a downtown parking lot to the main street (King Street) is an alley sporting extensive wall murals done by Niagara Falls artist, Dan Kozina. The alley itself is illuminated by a canopy of stings made of lamps (LED if that is important to you) providing an interesting repeating pattern. Particularly given the raindrops adhering to the wires. The format of the crop was chosen to emphasize the strings of lamps.- JW

CBDCs are centralized, tokenized, programmable currency systems that use Digital Ledger Technologies to monitor transactions in real time, so that those in charge can eventually control the population with a Chinese style Social Credit Score System that will be tied to a Social Carbon Sore System that will eventually be centralized into a one world currency system with a one world Social Credit Score system and a one world biometric ID system—an electronic smart tattoo (666), which will monitor you and your transactions in real time. Then everyone can have the latest greatest fad: a real deal biomechanical tattoo! The transhuman zombie apocalypse! CBDCs are a precursor to the Mark of the Beast.
