The Academy of Athens is Greece's national academy, and the highest research establishment in the country. It was established in 1926, and operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. The Academy's main building is one of the major landmarks of Athens. It is a neoclassical building that was designed as part of an architectural "trilogy" in 1859 by the Danish architect Theophil Hansen, along with the University and the National Library. Funds had been provided by the magnate Simon Sinas specifically for the purpose, and the foundation stone was laid on 2 August 1859. Construction proceeded rapidly, after 1861 under the supervision of Ernst Ziller, but the internal tumults during the latter years of King Otto's reign, which resulted in his ousting in 1862, hampered construction until it was stopped in 1864. Works resumed in 1868, but the building was not completed until 1885, at a total cost of 2,843,319 gold drachmas, most of it provided by Sinas, and, after his death, by his wife Ifigeneia. The sculptures were undertaken by the Greek Leonidas Drosis, while the murals and paintings by the Austrian Christian Griepenkerl. On 20 March 1887, the building of the "Sinaean Academy", as it was called, was delivered by Ziller to the Greek Prime Minister, Charilaos Trikoupis. In the absence of a national Academy, the building was used for housing the Numismatic Museum in 1890, and in 1914 the Byzantine Museum and the State Archives. Finally, on 24 March 1926, the building was handed over to the newly-established Academy of Athens...

The Royal Tobacco Factory (Spanish: Real Fábrica de Tabacos) is an 18th-century stone building in Seville, southern Spain. Since the 1950s it has been the seat of the rectorate of the University of Seville. Prior to that, it was, as its name indicates, a tobacco factory: the most prominent such institution in Europe, and a lineal descendant of Europe's first tobacco factory, which was located nearby. It is one of the most notable and splendid examples of industrial architecture from the era of Spain's Antiguo Régimen.

A fancy Victorian wall tile design, this time by the interior designer Richardson. Looks good as a single motif, but should pattern up nicely.

Passing the Ministry of Transport Driving Test in 1952 was a far simpler task than it is for today's drivers.
This year's theme was 'Rebel Rebel' honouring the historic events of 1916 and a tribute to David Bowie.
The parade was led by Max Krzyzanowski of LGBT Noise, which started at 1:15pm [about 15 minutes late] from the Garden of Remembrance to the 'Pride Village' at Merrion Square.
هذه محطة انتظار طويله ياقلَب ، ولدينا أحاديث كثيره لنتقاسمها ..
وصلتُ متأخره رغم أن المنبه لم يتأخر ، رغم استيقاظي المبكر ، وحقيبتي الجاهزه منذ ليلة البارحه
وحين وصلت لك يكن أحد في انتظاري ، كل جهات السفر انحسرت ، ولم يبقىَ لي غير ليلٍ لا يملؤه شيء ، ولايسع لشيء
هذه محطة انتظار طويله ياقلب
يمضون جميعاً على عجل ، بملابسهم الباليه ، وحقائبهم التي تتدلىَ خارجها ، بعضاً من أغراضهِم ، يحجبونني عنهم ، ببخار يطلون به النوافذ البارده ، ومن من أحد خدشَ الضباب بأصبع ، ليرسم اسمي فوق الزجاج !
هذه محطة انتظار طويلة ياقلب
كنتُ املك اجمل من هذا الحديث ، لكني شاحبة وسط ازدحام الوحدة هذه ، كما أن صوتي ، لايتسع للغناء بعد اليوم
