The Gypsy Horse (USA, UK, AU), also known as the Gypsy Cob (UK, NZ), Coloured Cob (UK, Ireland, parts of Continental Europe), Gypsy Vanner (US, CAN), Irish Cob, and Tinker Horse (parts of Continental Europe),[1] is a horse breed originally developed by Romanichal peoples native to the British Isles. As recently as 1996, the Gypsy horse had no stud book or breed registry.[2] However, it is now considered a breed[2] with multiple worldwide breed associations dedicated to it. [a] It is a small draught breed, popularly recognized for its abundant leg feathering and common black and white, or "piebald", coat colour, though it can be of any other colour as well. Breeders in the U.K. compliment a good example of the breed, which has powerful muscling, correct leg conformation of a pulling horse, and flashy action, with the term "proper cob".[1] Around 1850, the Romanichal of Great Britain began to use a distinct type of horse to pull the vardoes, chimneyed living waggons, in which they had just begun to live and travel. The distinct colour and look of the modern breed were refined by the Romanichal in the period following World War II. American breeders began to import Gypsy horses and created its first registry in 1996. A related sub-type, the Drum Horse, is a larger animal of similar appearance. Today, the Gypsy horse is still bred in the UK by a number of established breeders, most of whom also exhibit and sell their horses at traditional fairs. In the United States, horse show competition for Gypsy horses is increasing each year, and several Gypsy breed registries have gained affiliate recognition with the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and United States Dressage Federation (USDF).`Wiki

The 8th President of the United States, Martin VanBuren's statue is among the heads of the presidents that can be found at the old Adickes ScupturWorkx studio. One of the most unique and incongruous sights in Houston, Texas is found in the industrial neighborhood at the end of Summer Street. Neither a museum nor a park, an impressive group of large outdoor sculptures sits in a lot surrounded by Warehouses not too far off Washington Avenue near Downtown Houston, Texas. The lot next to the former location of Adickes SculpturWorx Studio is lined with 7-foot tall busts of most of the 43 Presidents of the United States and 36 foot tall statues of the musical group, The Beatles. The statutes are some of the works of sculptor and painter, David Adickes who is well know for his colossal statues of famous historical figures. Though Adickes actually closed his studio at the site in 2010, when he relocated to Huntsville, Texas, his statues are still stored here. They may get moved around and some may disappear at times as they are displayed somewhere but there is usually quite number present in the lot. Van Buren was President from 1837-1841.
van nelle fabriek, rotteram, NL, 1925-1931, architect: johannes brinkman, leendert van der vlugt
"The Van Nelle factory was built between 1925 and 1931. Its most striking feature is its huge glass façades. The building is currently a high-tech centre for design and communication that houses between 50 and 70 small and medium-sized businesses. The factory grounds still largely retain their original design. Among the most striking features are the glass aerial walkways that connect the factory buildings and the shipping office.
The factory was designed on the premise that a modern, transparent and healthy working environment in green surroundings would be good both for production and for workers' welfare.
The complex is the result of the radical application of a number of cultural and technical concepts dating from the early twentieth century. This led to a new, functional approach to architecture that enjoyed mass appeal right from the start."

American actor Van Johnson (1916-2008) was a red-haired, freckle-faced and invariably friendly-looking song-and-dance star in MGM films. In the mid-1940s he emerged as a box office favourite and was second only to heartthrob Frank Sinatra during the 'Bobby-soxer' era. Playing earnest soldiers and boy-next-doors made him a solid box-office attraction while MGM's major stars were off to war.
Van Johnson was born Charles Van Dell Johnson in Newport, Rhode Island in 1916. His father, Charles E. Johnson was a plumber from Sweden and later a real estate salesman. His mother, Loretta Neumann (or Snyder), was a homemaker and had been a dietitian at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She was an alcoholic who abandoned him when he was three. Johnson endured a lonely and unhappy childhood. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "Happier times were spent drifting into the fantasy world of movies, and he developed an ardent passion for entertaining. Taking singing, dancing and violin lessons during his high school years, he disregarded his father's wish to become a lawyer and instead left home following graduation to try his luck in New York." Van made his Broadway debut in 1936 in 'New Faces of 1936, an annual revue that had also introduced Henry Fonda in 1934. Van would appear in a total of seven Broadway shows, including the original cast production of 'Pal Joey' in 1940-1941 In 1942, Van Johnson got a contract with MGM and went to Hollywood. The tall, red-haired actor took advantage of the fact that all established stars were in military service. Johnson was exempt from army service after being injured in a car accident driving with his close friend Keenan Wynn to a screening of Keeper of the Flame (George Cukor, 1942). He had a metal plate placed in his forehead. One of his first roles was as a replacement for Lew Ayres in the hospital film series Dr Kildare alongside Lionel Barrymore. Johnson's breakthrough came with the war film A Guy Named Joe (Victor Fleming, 1943) alongside Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne. Within two years, he rose from small supporting roles in which he often played the "nice young man next door" to one of the ten highest-grossing stars in the film industry. He was known for his red socks and his bobbysoxer popularity was such that he was nicknamed "The Voiceless Sinatra". The studio often placed him alongside June Allyson or Esther Williams in big-screen musicals and romantic films. He first received top billing with the musical Two Girls and a Sailor (Richard Thorpe, 1944) with June Allyson and Gloria DeHaven.
After the end of World War II, the big stars such as Clark Gable, James Stewart and Robert Taylor returned to reclaim their post-war stardom. Van willingly relinquished his "golden boy" pedestal, but he remained a high-profile musical star. He was the partner of Judy Garland in the musical In the Good Old Summertime (Robert Z. Leonard, Buster Keaton, 1949) and was also seen in the musical Brigadoon (Vincente Minnelli, 1954) alongside Gene Kelly. He also turned to dramatic films and played such well-known roles as Holley in Battleground (William A. Wellman, 1949), Charles Wills in The Last Time I Saw Paris (Richard Brooks, 1954) starring Elizabeth Taylor, and Lieutenant Steve Maryk in The Caine Mutiny (Edward Dmytryk, 1954) with Humphrey Bogart and José Ferrer. In November 1954, his mother suddenly resurfaced and sued him for nine hundred dollars in monthly support. He fought back, saying she did not help raise him so, although he was willing to give her money, she was not entitled to court-ordered support. It was eventually settled out of court and he agreed to pay her four hundred dollars a month. Johnson played his last leading roles in Hollywood in the 1960s and appeared in several Italian films from the end of the decade. Johnson also made guest appearances in TV series such as Batman (as the minstrel in 2 episodes in 1966), Here's Lucy and The Love Boat and the Miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man (1976), for which he was nominated for an Emmy. He had success in the theatre with the musical 'The Music Man'. In 1985, he made a minor comeback. He starred in the Broadway musical 'La Cage Aux Folles' and had a supporting role in Woody Allen's comedy The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985). His last musical role was as Cap' Andy in 'Show Boat' in 1991. A year later, he played his last cinema role alongside Fred Williamson in the thriller Three Days to a Kill (Fred Williamson, 1992). Johnson was married to Eve Lynn Abbott in 1947, on the day of her divorce from actor Keenan Wynn. The couple produced one daughter, Schuyler V. Johnson (1948) and divorced in 1961. According to Eve in 1999, MGM boss Louis B. Mayer had arranged the marriage to conceal Johnson's homosexuality from the public. He later left her for her male tennis instructor according to her son, Ned Wynn. Van Johnson underwent skin cancer treatment in 1963. He died in 2008 at a senior living facility in Nyack, New York, at 92. He had been one of the last surviving matinee idols of Hollywood's 'golden age'.
