THE LION AND ALBERT

by

Marriott Edgar

   

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool,

That's noted for fresh-air and fun,

And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom

Went there with young Albert, their son.

 

A grand little lad was their Albert

All dressed in his best; quite a swell

'E'd a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle

The finest that Woolworth's could sell.

 

They didn't think much to the ocean

The waves, they was fiddlin' and small

There was no wrecks... nobody drownded

'Fact, nothing to laugh at, at all.

 

So, seeking for further amusement

They paid and went into the zoo

Where they'd lions and tigers and cam-els

And old ale and sandwiches too.

 

There were one great big lion called Wallace

His nose were all covered with scars

He lay in a som-no-lent posture

With the side of his face to the bars.

 

Now Albert had heard about lions

How they were ferocious and wild

And to see Wallace lying so peaceful

Well... it didn't seem right to the child.

 

So straight 'way the brave little feller

Not showing a morsel of fear

Took 'is stick with the'orse's 'ead 'andle

And pushed it in Wallace's ear!

 

You could see that the lion didn't like it

For giving a kind of a roll

He pulled Albert inside the cage with 'im

And swallowed the little lad... whole!

 

Then Pa, who had seen the occurrence

And didn't know what to do next

Said, "Mother! Yon lions 'et Albert"

And Mother said "Eeh, I am vexed!"

 

So Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom

Quite rightly, when all's said and done

Complained to the Animal Keeper

That the lion had eaten their son.

 

The keeper was quite nice about it

He said, "What a nasty mishap

Are you sure that it's your lad he's eaten?"

Pa said, "Am I sure? There's his cap!"

 

So the manager had to be sent for

He came and he said, "What's to do?"

Pa said, "Yon lion's 'eaten our Albert

And 'im in his Sunday clothes, too."

 

Then Mother said, "Right's right, young feller

I think it's a shame and a sin

For a lion to go and eat Albert

And after we've paid to come in!"

 

The manager wanted no trouble

He took out his purse right away

And said, "How much to settle the matter?"

And Pa said "What do you usually pay?"

 

But Mother had turned a bit awkward

When she thought where her Albert had gone

She said, "No! someone's got to be summonsed"

So that were decided upon.

 

Round they went to the Police Station

In front of a Magistrate chap

They told 'im what happened to Albert

And proved it by showing his cap.

 

The Magistrate gave his o-pinion

That no-one was really to blame

He said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms

Would have further sons to their name.

 

At that Mother got proper blazing

"And thank you, sir, kindly," said she

"What waste all our lives raising children

To feed ruddy lions? Not me!"

A visually stunning decorative map of Asia dating to 1852, by French map publisher Victor Levasseur. Covers the entire continent of Asia as well as parts adjacent parts Europe and Africa. Shows the Chinese Empire including Tibet and Mongolia. In Southeast Asia the Kingdoms of Annam, Chochine, Tonkin, Siam, and Burma are noted. Singapore is identified. Afghanistan is divided into the Kingdom of Kaboul, the Kingdom of Heral, and the Confederation of Belouchistan. Several islands in the Russian Arctic, including Nova Zembla and the New Siberia Islands are mapped vaguely. Curiously, Levasseur identifies one of the Japanese Kuril Islands as the land of Compagnie, a semi-mythical island sought by many early explorers of this region including Behring and Cook. By far this map's most striking feature is its elaborate allegorical border work. Levasseur composed this map for publication in his magnificent Atlas Nacionale de la France Illustree , one of the most decorative and beautifully produced atlases to appear in the 19th century. This particular map is surrounded on all sides with elaborate allegorical border work. Surrounding the map are ten medallions intended to represent life in Asia - though most of the these seem to focus on India, at the time the most known of Asian lands. To the left of the map proper is an enthroned woman, a most likely representation of Hesione, the wife of Prometheus, who is commonly associated with Asia. Curiously the figure holds a main de justice , a kind of scepter with a hand of benediction on top, it her right hand. The main de justice was initially a symbol of royal French power and in this case is a possible reference to the French claims to Indochina. Right of the map Adam and Eve are drawn relaxing in Eden, with a benevolent God figure looking on. As with most Levasseur depictions of god, his halo is pyramidal, a possibly Masonic reference. Levassuer's choice to add Adam and Eve to this map is a reference to mediaeval beliefs that Eden lay in the seas beyond Asia. Various exotic animals including a bear, a buffalo, an rhino, a tiger, and an crocodile appear at the bottom of the map. Publised by V. Levasseur in the 1852 edition of his Atlas National de la France Illustree.

 

The Drums of Africa is a visually expressed personal guidance system. Our ancestors have documented the lessons of life into profound proverbs that can be easily remembered and referred to in our approach to everyday life. The series

displays these proverbs as typographic compositions combined with tribal forms found in South Africa’s folk

arts and crafts. In fact, symbolic elements from the intricate beadwork of the Bantu-speaking tribes, the refined basketry of the Zulu, and the highly coloured, bold, geometric forms of the Ndebele, ordain the fragile hand-drawn Helvetica typeface.

 

The result is a combination of contemporary type,

decorated with traditional silhouettes. Upholding the lessons and motivations of African culture, the compositions serve as daily affirmations and motivations.

 

The original oil paintings are on display at Kozi’s : Meet ’n Eat, an African inspired restaurant in Athens, Greece. A limited edition of signed prints have been created to accompany the work and are also available online at www.dimitratzanos.com

The oldest kimono on display this year, it hails from the Bunka Period (1804 - 1818) and is made of an incredibly light silk known as “Ro” that’s used in the production of summer kimono. Goshodoki refers to the laborious task of dyeing all motifs in white and then accenting them with gold and other brightly colored threads. Each goshodoki kimono is unique and is meant to visually convey a scene from a popular novel or poem, most of which were written during the Heian Period (794 - 1185). This piece in particular is referencing The Tale of Genji, specifically a chapter early in the book where Prince Genji tries to catch a glimpse of the young Murasaki, who he will eventually raise to be the ideal Heian woman. Only those of the highest social classes, the nobility and the samurai, could commission a kimono of this calibre, and so it becomes a perfect fit for Ontario. Home to the world renowned Royal Ontario Museum and The Art Gallery of Ontario, the province is full of places where art and history come together to celebrate diversity. It is also home to the literal capital of the country, Ottawa, where parliament determines the future of our nation.

Visually a bowl barrow, but potentially a bell barrow, with an infilled ditch. The main tumulus has the appearance of a 'U' due to historical interference including a 'dig' by Greville Chester in 1850. This is one of 10,000 surviving examples of bowl barrows - mostly in lowland Britain. Many more have been destroyed by farming (source: historicengland.org.uk).

This was the second homepage comp for a hosting company called Hostcube. Opposite of the first version, I wanted to create a lighter, and a bit more fun look with this design. This is a good comparison on how the information architecture can drive 2 completely different interface designs.

 

Once again, I've come up with a different logo concept here, and dissected it to visually represent some service-related information under the "What is a VPS?" section. I have also used the same design element to showcase 4 different types of hosting packages. You may see the example on their website by clicking here.

The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of VA's six national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.

Visually, the Type G van is very similar to the Type H.

 

The radiator grill is adummy, because the nose contained only the controls - and the ocupants feet !

 

By contrast the mechanical components were very different. The engine was effectively under the cab floor.

Well done to Referee John for his experienced approach to this bout.

Great sportsmanship & wrestling from both."

Master Butcher

 

Visually impaired people playing with sighted feel that accessibility kits can be clunky, alter the gameplay for everyone and highlight their impairment. Social interaction between players is different with a visually impaired person present, and the players can tell the difference.

 

In ‘Master Butcher’ concealment, not seeing and vocalisation of one’s actions is part of the fun, not an action catering only for the visually impaired. All aspects of the game are either tactile or sound, the latter created by the players themselves, conversing. This enables an organic gaming environment despite any visual impairment, pushing towards a middle-ground instead of a false sense of equality.

 

‘Master Butcher’ is a game of deception where players assume the role of a butcher in medieval Britain, trying to source and sell meat for maximum profit at the farmer’s market. However, good meat is scarce and to make ends meet one might have to resort to selling bad meat instead. Every turn one of the players assumes the role of a customer at the market, buying meat and waging whether the butchers are telling the truth or not. Is the meat in the sales bag actually what they say it is? The butchers have apprentices that can run errands for them and play trickery on other butchers, thus sabotaging their pursuit of success.

Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.

 

At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.

 

Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.

 

The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.

 

The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.

 

The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.

 

The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

how i did it

 

all rainmeter, middle bar is elemental by tekno

the rest is from kaelris enigma which ive slightly modified

by changing the font to shadowless helvetica, making the menu bar and a copied menu bar with backgrounds removed and icons changed to the sienne set by visionsofart which i thought made a change from ecqlipse and imriks amana.

 

now that this is saved to rainthemes time to start on another. yay

 

thanks goes to taipan snake for giving me tips on the subtle enigma changes

A visually appealing course - rich vibrant colours with safe flavour pairings. The cheeries were globes of unctuous deep flavours and absolutelly stunning. The duck, rather light given the rich flavours and textures I would have expected from such a game bird (this could be my own fault of being too used to the glorious deep flavours and meaty texture from smoked duck). The radish bed, refreshing against the flavourful jus, while the spongy steamed bun wrapped around a loose shredded duck (confit? A tad on the drier side) was a great juxtaposition against crisp rich walnuts.

 

The course was paried with the Sonoma Cutrer "Russian River Valley" Pinot Noir, California. From a small winery, with this particular wine listing at # 8 on last year's wine spectator list, and something the sommolier/wine director of the evening had to import himself across the boarder. Very nice, full of dark cherry notes and licorice. Great for the course.

 

"During Chris' previous visit to James Beard House in 2006, the duck dish he served proved to be the most popular of the evening. This year, Chris will be serving duck again, but in a different style. Star anise flavour and a Korean-style steam bun wrap highlight the dish. The Asian influence is complimented by Lapin cherries from Kelowna, B.C., which were canned by Chris this past summer."

Australian Heritage Places inventory details

Koroit Commercial Road Conservation Area

Source: Go to the Register of the National Estate for more information.

Identifier: 15046

Location: Commercial Rd, Koroit

Local

Government: Moyne Shire

State: VIC

Country: Australia

Statement of

Significance: The conservation area consists of a number of important public buildings and a street of relatively intact humble shopfronts and kerbline verandahs, visually punctuated by opposing bank facades. Containing a range of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century structures, the conservation area strongly evokes a sense of the town's past (Criterion E.1).

Description: Koroit is located some miles to the north of the main coastal road, the Princes Highway, and is approximately midway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. It lies on the northern slopes of the volcanic Tower Hill, enjoying the benefits of rich soil and shelter from the weather from the Southern Ocean. The qualities of the soil have long made the district suitable to intensive cultivation, producing abundant crops of potatoes, onions and peas, usually in association with diary cattle, pigs and fat lambs. The area also once produced mustard, linseed, wheat and oats. The township of Koroit developed to serve the needs of the district. The close settlement and small holdings allowed Koroit to grow into a larger town than would normally be expected within a short distance (17km) from the regional centre, Warrnambool, and from Port Fairy which is 20km distant. The predominant green of year round cultivation and the scale of the district's holdings and buildings have led many observers to see a similarity with Irish landscapes. Commercial Road, the main street of Koroit, is a flat, straight stretch of road. This is the commercial and administrative centre of Koroit and contains a number of interesting late nineteenth and early twentieth century shops, dwellings and public buildings. The focal point of the commercial/administrative precinct is the group of public buildings near the intersection of Boundary/Commercial Road and High Street. Included are the municipal offices and the bluestone post office. The latter was built in 1872 and is of special significance through its link with author Henry Handel (Ethel) Richardson whose mother was postmistress here in 1878; Ethel's father died in Koroit in 1879 and the author used the town for the setting of the third novel in her trilogy, The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. Also included within this precinct are the courthouse (1871-72), and the state school (1878). Also of note at the intersection is the decorative Koroit Hotel with detailing showing Art Nouveau influence (especially in the verandah). Diagonally opposite is the Courthouse Inn, an interesting Edwardian weatherboard building now unlicensed but still used for accommodation. The Commercial Road shopping area runs west from this intersection, consisting primarily of single storey shops although the State Savings Bank and, directly opposite, the National Bank are exceptions. The National Bank in its present form dates from c 1872 when architect George Jobbins was commissioned to remodel the facade and to erect an additional storey. Jobbins was also commissioned to design the premises of the Colonial Bank of Australasia (now the State Savings Bank) in 1876. The design of this bank closely relates to the National Bank in Warrnambool (1868-69) designed by Lloyd Tayler, Jobbins' former employer. Though there are a number of later intrusions in the Commercial Road area, some of them unfortunate, the prevailing kerbline verandah posts and valances are still sufficient to evoke a strong sense of the town's past. This is emphasised by the town's relative isolation, being by passed by all the major district highways.

Swansea student Carly Edwards, despite being visually impaired and having had major brain surgery, is celebrating her success in achieving her degree in psychology, and being named joint winner of the British Psychology Society (Welsh Branch) prize.

 

Receiving her degree, Carly said: “ I can only feel a glowing pleasure to know that all my achievements have been noticed despite the obstacles. The course itself was a challenge but then the degree would not be worth having if it wasn’t! Anything is possible if you want it bad enough, you just have to be determined and realise that life isn’t just a straightforward journey but eventually, with hard work and planning, you can achieve your goals. “

 

Carly will be taking a gap year to decide which career route she wants to follow. She is considering various options but would love to work with children who have visual impairments, enabling them to also achieve their full potential.
