The Museu Nacional in Rio, just one specific of the greatest museums in the Americas, was engulfed by flames Sunday night time.
The conflagration started out the minute the museum was shut and Reuters reports that the induce of the blaze is even so to be recognized. As of crafting, no fatalities or mishaps have been claimed.
Further than 20 million factors are saved in just the museum’s assortment, which consist of the 12,00 12 months out-of-date fossilized carries on to be of ‘Luzia’, the oldest human fossil positioned in Brazil. Nonetheless one more priceless artifact, a 5.5-ton meteorite observed in Brazil in 1784, was also housed in just the museum.
At this period, it is unclear especially what has been misplaced in the hearth but Marina Amaral, a Brazilian historic colorist, quoted the museum’s director on Twitter detailing that the 200-12 months-out-of-date historic archive was ‘totally destroyed’ and ‘there is almost nothing at all left’. The Guardian reported that some of the historic archives are imagined to have been saved in just one additional placing up.
Amaral also posted visuals and motion picture of the blaze to Twitter late Sunday night time.
The museum was recognized in 1818, by King John VI of Portugal. In the class of the 19th Century it skilled housed the Portuguese royal family and the Brazilian imperial family. It started out use as a museum in 1892.
Brazilian President Michael Temer tweeted on Sunday night time that it was ‘a disappointed functioning working day for all Brazilians’. Even so Luiz Duarte, a vice-director at the museum suggested Brazil’s Tv Globo that the organisation skilled fought ‘for a whole lot of years’ to protected excess suggests and funding for the museum.
‘My emotion is of in general dismay and massive anger,’ Duarte pointed out.
Tv Globo also claimed that firefighters could not speedily entry ingesting h2o to stymie the blaze, as hydrants near by skilled work out of give.


Founder of a nation, trouncer of the English, God-fearing family man: all in all, George Washington has enjoyed a pretty decent reputation. Until now, that is.
The hero who crossed the Delaware river may not have been quite so squeaky clean when it came to borrowing library books.
The New York Society Library, the city's only lender of books at the time of Washington's presidency, has revealed that the first American president took out two volumes and pointedly failed to return them.
At today's prices, adjusted for inflation, he would face a late fine of $300,000.
The library's ledgers show that Washington took out the books on 5 October 1789, some five months into his presidency at a time when New York was still the capital. They were an essay on international affairs called Law of Nations and the twelfth volume of a 14-volume collection of debates from the English House of Commons.
The ledger simply referred to the borrower as "President" in quill pen, and had no return date.
Sure enough, when the librarians checked their holdings they found all 14 volumes of the Commons debates bar volume 12.
Under the rules of the library, the books should have been handed back by 2 November that same year, and their borrower and presumably his descendants have been liable to fines of a few cents a day ever since.
C'mon Obama: pay up. It's your Office's responsibility.

The first gun clubs in Stockton met on Banner Island in the 19th century. The small island along the north bank of Stockton Channel just west of Eldorado Street. The land, long since conneceted to the shore by fill, was later the site of the Guntert-Zimmerman steel fabricating yard. In the old days there was a shooting range for target practice and sharp shooting contests. With further development at Oak Park at California St. and Alpine Ave., the gun clubs moved to this site. In 1902, a trap shoot was erected, and shooting matches were held there for years. Some of the clubs around Stockton during that period were the Mormon Slough Gun Club, Stockton Gun Club, Roberts Island Gun Club and the Tule Gun Club.
In 1916 the limit was 25 birds per person. Posing in front of the Model T Ford are (lt to rt) Tony Gotelli, Vic Leonardini and Harry Mazzera.
Some of the finest Trap Shooters in the State compete for Silver Belt Buckles with gold coins and cash prizes.
In 1947 the first group of gun enthusiasts on Stockton’s East side started shooting trap on the north end of the Lucky Ranch along Mosher slough. They built a makeshift target practice area where they shot from the bank.
In 1948 the group moved to Jack Tone Road and called the club The Calaveras Blue Rock Gun Club. They had one trap field. As more shooters starting shooting they knew that they were out-growing the facility and decided to look to buy or rent a bigger place.
In 1953 they found the perfect place. They rented two acres of 35 acres near Waterloo Road with the intension to purchase the entire 35 acres in the future.
1955 was a formative year for the Waterloo Gun and Bocci Club. On August 16th the Club was changed from Waterloo Club to Stockton Waterloo Gun and Bocci Club. A great step had been taken that would place Club activities on a firm footing for generations to come.
This is the largest crowd to attend a shooting exhibition at the Waterloo Club. Nearly 500 gun enthusiasts watch the great Pro. Herb Parsons, perform his spectacular marksmanship. This 1958 event was sponsored by the Winchester Arms Company.
In the late 50’s the 35 acres parcel was purchased. As the years went by the club purchased another 10 acres for a total of 44 acres. They built a small 6’ x 8’ building used to sell tickets to shoot a round of trap. They installed 4 trap fields and they were on their way.
Soon some bocce ball players became interested in sharing the grounds with the shooting club. As a result of their first meeting they decided to unite and sold shares at $25.00/share. They sold enough shares to build a building to accommodate 500 people including a bar, lounge and four lane indoor bocce court.
In early 1960’s the club added some more improvements of a paved parking lot, a couple more trap fields, the famous duck tower used by the duck hunters and a picnic/park area.
In 1967 we added 24 motor home hook ups to accommodate the traveling shooters and bocce players.
In the early 1970’s 2 skeet fields were added that required a puller in each house to throw the targets.
By the 1980’s we had four overlay skeet fields and 14 trap fields. In the meantime the Waterloo Gun Club was getting pressured by the insurance company by raising their insurance so high that it was becoming a financial burden for the club due to the fact that they were serving alcohol. The club decided to split the shooting club from the bocce club in order to lower the insurance rates. A shooting club was formed: Stockton Trap and Skeet Club.
In the late 80’s the club added 6 more trap fields and by the late 80’s we had 7 skeet fields. By the early 90’s a group got together and added two more skeet fields and 1 temporary skeet field to make a total of ten skeet fields and 17 trap fields. We had to remove 4 trap fields to accommodate the 3 additional skeet fields.
In the early 90’s we were given a double wide trailer known as the Teresi Hall it is used today as the shooters club house.
In 2008 we added a Helice ring at the west end of the club.
In 2009 we had some interested sporting clay shooters asking us to put in a few sporting clay stations so we got together and put in a ten station course.
Most of the improvements of our club have been by club revenue, fund raisers and donations by private parties. We would like to thank all the people that donated time, their expertise and the funds to make the club what it is today.

The Pacific Highway Upgrade Program is possibly the largest road infrastructure project undertaken in the history of New South Wales. Resource Design & Management (RDM) has been fortunate to be part of this project through the provision of professional surveying services to the NSW Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) for a range of tasks including detail ground surveys, cadastral surveys, underground utility surveys, control surveys, aerial mapping and a range of related tasks.
The NSW Minister for Planning approved the Glenugie Upgrade project in December 2009. The seven (7) kilometre upgrade forms part of the larger Woolgoolga to Ballina Pacific Highway Upgrade project. The Glenugie Upgrade winds its way through the Glenugie State Forest, some 20 kilometres south of Grafton.
RDM were requested by the RMS to undertake the acquisition survey in June 2013, almost two (2) years after the project was completed and opened to traffic. The survey was to define the land to be acquired, for the purposes of the Roads Act 1993, from the Glenugie State Forest for the highway upgrade.
The existing Pacific Highway and an adjoining road, Lookout Road had never been surveyed for the purpose of defining their extents, such roads are termed “undefined” public roads. Through extensive plan and title searches it was determined that both roads were “undefined” and were simply defined by a fixed width over their existing formation. In other words, the road’s location is simply where the physical road is located.
With respect to Lookout Road it became apparent that the road’s location was significantly different to its original position as shown in the historic records, in fact, the road was located some 500 metres away from its original plotted position. This raised significant issues as there was no precedent for such a situation. The question was ~ can a road move 500 metres from its original position and still be considered the same road?
Due to the particular complexities of the project, RDM had to apply a sound methodology combined with a creative approach to achieve an appropriate solution. Reference material relating to “undefined” public roads was almost non-existent and certainly did not discuss the above situation.
RDM determined that the new location of Lookout Road should be adopted for the purpose of acquisition provided there was clear evidence that the original road had been abandoned. As the new highway upgrade had been completed there was no physical evidence of the road’s location. Historical photographs from the RMS’s Gipsi Scan project became the only reliable pre-construction photography to confirm the road had in fact been abandoned from its original plotted position.
The project won the NSW Surveying & Spatial Science Award in 2013 for Rural Surveying and Land Titling as it demonstrated the important and critical skills of the surveyor in determining rural boundaries through a process of research and investigation, to come up with a justifiable solution to a complex rural cadastral problem.


NBC Chicago is the Owned & Operated NBC station in Chicago.

Lauded as the most important jersey in the Tour de France, the yellow jersey signifies the leader of the general classification. It dates back to 1919, when the first yellow jersey was officially awarded to Eugene Christophe in the stage from Grenoble to Geneva. Some say the yellow color was chosen because it was the most unpopular fabric color; thus, it was easy to find. Others say it was yellow because it reflected the color of the newspaper L’Auto, which organized the race. No matter the reason for the color, there’s no doubting that it’s now the most sought-after jersey in the peloton.
The Tourmalet and Ruelle cycling kits are a tribute to the Tour’s yellow jersey, with an appreciation of its history and honor.

HAWAII, January 14, 2011–The Obama Administration’s new defense strategy as outlined in the sixteen page document Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities For 21st Century Defense has defined the first and primary mission of America’s military as “Counter Terrorism and Irregular Warfare.”
But in an era where Osama bin Laden is dead and nearly ten years have passed by since the al Qaeda attacks of 9/11, is Obama’s blueprint the right plan for a war-weary America? In America’s military service academies and war colleges, the ancient strategic wisdom of Sun Tzu’s famed Art of War is still taught for its timeless advice on command and tactics.
“[I]f you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle,” Sun Tzu writes, and says further “to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.”
Sun Tzu also presents an interesting economic warning about prolonged war: “if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. Now when your weapons are dulled, your ardor dampened, you strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftans will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue.”
As America experiences continued fiscal challenges in the form of a rising national debt and a weak economy, these warnings almost perfectly describe the condition of our military and country. History demonstrates that the correct course of action for a declining power is not to commit to fighting a global war in search of peace but rather to seek to avert conflict altogether through a combination of shrewd diplomacy and a well-equipped military that can strategically deter both small and large aggressors alike.
This wisdom was the default posture of the United States for most of the Cold War, especially in the early post-WWII years when America’s policymakers realized that her enemies abroad could quite easily seek to whittle her into exhausting conflicts by starting flashpoints around the world.
In a January 1954 address to the Council on Foreign Relations, Eisenhower’s Secretary of Defense John Foster Dulles remarked, “If the enemy could pick his time and his place and his method of warfare – and if our policy was to remain the traditional one of meeting aggression by direct and local opposition – then we had to be ready to fight in the Arctic and the tropics, in Asia, in the Near East and in Europe; by sea, by land, and by air; by old weapons and by new weapons.”
Instead, the solution offered by Dulles and others throughout the Cold War was to provide America’s enemies with an absolute assurance that initiating aggression against the United States would be met with overwhelming response.
While Obama has been compared by conservative critics to Jimmy Carter, the presidential election year memorandums of the Carter Administration draw sharp contrast to today’s new defense outline. In July 1980, Carter issued Presidential Directive 59 in which his vision of American defense meant “it is necessary to have nuclear (as well as conventional) forces such that in considering aggression against our interests any adversary would recognize that no plausible outcome would represe


Christmas is one of the most popular festivals around the world. Find here all about Christmas festival and celebration!
Christmas Wishes 2015
The festival of Christmas has a special significance in everyone's life. Though Christmas is considered to be the primary festival of the Christian calendar but today it is a part of all religions and is a universal festival. Christmas celebrates humanity and mankind and conveys message of love, tolerance and brotherhood. It is celebrated on the 25th December, the date when Jesus Christ was born. The word Christmas is derived from an early English phrase 'Cristes maesse', that means 'Mass of Christ'. According to many scholars, the festival originated in the 4th century as a Christian substitute for pagan celebrations of the winter solstice many years before the Christ child was born. 25th December is first mentioned as the birth date of Jesus Christ in 336 AD in an early Roman calendar.


The temple is situated in Niibo-Ono in Sado City in Niigata Prefecture. “清水寺”, which is read “Seisui-ji”, has a wooden stage (“Guzeden”) which imitates that of Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto. In the temple grounds, the Niomon (gate of the two Diva kings), Sanmon (Mountain gate), Kannon-do (Kannon hall), Main Hall and Head Priest’s quarters are set against the elegant backdrop of trees which transform dramatically through the seasons.
A History of Seisui-Ji
The 50th Emperor Kanmu deeply revered the Honzon Senju Kannon Bodhisattva statue, the Principal Object of Worship of Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, and lamented that people in the distant area of Sado could not easily visit Kyoto to worship it. So, in 805, he ordered a priest named Ken-O to travel to Sado. On visiting Sado, the priest came across something gleaming in a river. He searched for the river’s source, reached this mountain and spent the night at the roots of pine tree. On waking the following morning, miraculously, a bright and brilliant child-like being appeared to the priest and said, “I bring good tidings! In future days, earthly creatures may doubt the existence of Buddha. However, this is a sacred place where Buddha shall appear! If a structure is built here and a statue erected, the prayers of those who offer worship will be answered." When the priest told Emperor Kanmu of what had happened, the Emperor rejoiced. In the year 808, he ordered this temple to be constructed on the eastern side of the mountain, where these events took place. (Excerpt from 1903 Temple Journal written by the 17th Priest Maruyama)

It’s not a biggie to find out that most of our fellow russian friends, especially those at my age (early 30’s) identify with the fabricated reality that was the soviet union for the children.
My Perestroika is apparently a superb movie/documentary about a deeply personal look at the growth of Communism from Lenin through the breakup of the Soviet Union to the election of Vladimir Putin, through the lense of a child.
“My Perestroika distinguishes itself from the outset as a far more humanistic treatment of this still-touchy subject matter than a great deal of films that arrive in the US. Opening and closing on the annual First of September celebration (the first day of school in Russia), Hessman’s film volleys between the past and present, using a generous assemblage of old pictures, newsreels, promotional footage, home videos, Marxist jingles, punk rock, and boatloads of propaganda in various forms, to reconstruct the popular culture landscape that these interviewees lived through. In turn, the interviewees emit their own personal histories of living under Communism while going about their extremely varied day-to-day existences, far removed and even a bit nostalgic for what one subject calls the “beautiful Soviet reality“.

So you can explore a wonderful untouched country. Romania offers the Black Sea coast, the famous Danube Delta and the original landscape of the Carpathians. Active vacationers can hike in the stunning scenery of the Carpathian Mountains, skiing or mountain climbing. Romania offers cultural attractions in a historical costume. In the near of Brasov are some interesting Points of Interests. They are a part of the World Heritage in Romania.
There are many attractions in Romania, especially the cities of Brasov (Kronstadt) and Sighisoara in Romania. They are a part of the German and European history and were founded by German settlers. The Fortified Church in Prejmer just a few kilometers away from Brasov was recorded in 1993 by the UNESCO's to the list of world Heritage. In summery it’s are 7 churches. All seven fortified churches are easy to visit from Kronstadt.
The city Sibiu, just 100 km from Brasov, was elected in 2007 to the European capital of Culture. Everywhere to be found in the Romanian Carpathians traces of the German past and not for anything that most Western tourist traveling the region in Transylvania.
Other notable regions in Romania are the Biosphere Reserve Danube Delta. 1991 UNESCO declared the Delta to a part of the World Heritage. Friends of Nature has been selected the Danube Delta to the landscape of the year 2007/2008. Furthermore, the region attracts Bukovina with the famous Moldova monasteries. These were also included in the list of world cultural heritage.
The Photo Gallery show different shootings from Romanian regions and do mood for a holiday in Romania.
You can enter in Romania by land, water or air. EU citizens can travel visa-free. You need a passport or identity card. For children with a passport photo or a child passport is sufficient. All identification documents must at the time of entry and exit are valid for three months. If you enter in your own vehicle, you must carry out the car and the driver's license one green card. A journey at night should be avoided in Romania, as the roads are not always conforming to the European standard. A highway network is under construction in Romania. For the use of the Romanian road network has a vignette - Rovinieta - the so called. In case of an accident involving personal injury, the police (112) are called to the scene of the accident. Is only sheet metal damage incurred, the accident must be notified within 24 hours, the body responsible for the accident police.
Although Romania is an EU member, there are still border controls. These should be removed with an accession to the Schengen Agreement by one.
No region can do without their myths and legends. The city of Kronstadt do their legend of the origin of the city. It begins sometime in the 1063rd then reigned King Andrew and his son Solomon of Hungary, which fought against the Cumans, wild horsemen from the steppes of the Black Sea.
The king's son lost a battle fled into the Carpathian with his followers. The followers urged him to avoid being identified, removing his royal crown. So he put it on a fallen tree trunk, where it was found centuries later by a Saxon peasant. Here the Saxons built after the town hall tower of Kronstadt and as the emblem was selected the crown on the tree.
The Legend says that the king's son rode until a canyon with 4 large rocks. Today, the rock called of the name of King’s son (Solomon rocks) and is a popular destination for hikers. With the enemies in the back, daring the king's son of one of the rocks of despair a leap across the gorge of about 300 m. The jump was successful and so was the king's son rescued.
But the story does not end. It is reported that the king's son is still many years hidden in a cave near the present city of Brasov. To avoid being robbed, he buried a treasure somewhere under a rock in the upper suburbs. Until now, the gold and silver cannot be found and may therefore still be sought.
In fact, King Solomon was crowned king at age 5 and had to go against his uncle and his sons defend his throne over the kingdom of Hungary.
In the years 1211 to 1225 Brasov was founded by the Teutonic Knights. In 1235 Crown / Corona / Kronstadt was first documented. The name Barasu (1252) / Brasu (1271) come to Brasov. The name Brasso / Brassow / Brass / Brasov come from the Old Slavic and meaning "clear water" or "creek".
In the 13th and 14 Century boomed Brasov and 1375 build up all of today's city center with its four neighborhoods in Corpus Christi, the Portico, Catherinae and Petri. One of the advantages of Brasov was the strategic location of the nearby Carpathian passes where crossed the trade routes between Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia. In 1335 Brasov was awarded city rights by King Charles Robert. These were extended by Ludwig I and Sigismund of Luxembourg. In the years 1241, 1278, 1285, 1345 Kronstadt suffered from the Tartars, but could expand more and more. By 1400 there were in the city over 30 guilds.
In 1392 Kronstadt Blumenau was created as a new district with its Orthodox St. Nicholas Church (1594).
From 1383 after 100 years construction, the St. Mary's Church was built. This burned down in 1689 and has since "Black Church" because the walls turned black. Today it is one of the largest Protestant churches in Europe southeast. The church has over 5 portals. The oldest is located on the west side. A fresco dating from 1477 and showing King Matthias Corvinus and his wife Beatrice of Aragon. The church is famous for its important collection of carpet, of which most copies from the 17th Century come.
The oldest church of Brasov is the Church of St. Bartholomeus or in Romanian "Biserica evangelica Sf. Bartolomeau". The construction began 1260. Eye-catching are elements of the Gothic style windows and portal frames and the remains of the mural in one of the side chapels.
1448 ordered the Hungarian King Sigismund of Luxembourg in the construction of fortifications. Until 1453, the castle was demolished on the battlements and with the material began the construction of the walls with gates and bastions. This should be protecting our city from the Turks, which attacked the city Brasov several times. Along the old city walls are nice photo opportunities, including the Catharine gate dating back to 1559, the Weaver's Bastion, the White Tower and the Black Tower.
The present Town Hall of Brasov "Casa Sfatului" was describe first time in 1420 and built of the furrier guild. After the town fire of 1689 there were numerous conversions. The 58 m high tower trumpet was built in the period between 1525 and 1528. It was served as a watchtower. The 4 balls which are located on the roof symbolize the right of the city to fill death sentences.
1498 mortgage the Hungarian King Brasov to the lord of Torzburg Castle. Today, the castle is known as the castle of Count Dracula.
1553 began the construction of the castle on Castle Hill. In the same year Brasov had 4,000 victims.
The 16th Century was marked by wars and destruction. In May 1688 the Saxons revolted against Habsburg rule. The uprising was crushed by the Austrian government and Brasov was occupied by imperial troops.
On 21 April 1689 comes to a big fire which destroyed large parts of Brasov. In 1835 was founded in Brasov the first bank in the Romania country. In 1854 open the telegraph office and in 1873 and 1879 it came to the railway connection between Vienna and Bucharest.
In the industrial boom growth the city, with the influx of workers. Brasov was occupied 1916 by Romanian troops. In 1918, after centuries as a part of the Kingdom Hungary, Brasov became Romanian. Now began the city continued to grow due to the influx of Romanian citizen. 1940 till 1944 Kronstadt became the seat of the German minority. In spring 1944 Kronstadt became a target of American air raids. In September 1944, the Red Army marched into the city and in January 1945 the deportation of young Saxons began to the USSR.
Between 1950 and 1959, Brasov was called Stalingrad. 1987 began riots as one of the first cities of Romania. Many people were arrested or disappeared without trace. Two years later, in 1989, came the collapse of the communist state. Especially the German and Hungarian minorities did emigrate to the time use of the POSSIBILITY and moved to Germany. According to the census in March 2002 lived in Brasov in 258,000 Romanians and 23,200 Hungarians and just around 1,700 people of German nationality. 2009 live in Brasov 278,048 Locals.


I recently combined three files (word, excel, and power point) into a multi-file document.
After they were all combined into a multi-file document, I checked the History. The history shows that the first revision is the first instance of creating the multi-document file.
Seems like I lost the history of the individual edits of each document.
Any way to recover this? Or is this by design?


"All other Nations are welcome, except for Carrie."
The STORY OF Carrie NATION
At the turn of the 20th century, 6' tall Kentucky-born Carrie Nation ravaged bars across America. Wielding a hatchet, she claimed a divine ordinance to promote temperance by smashing any tavern and saloon that crossed her path. The slogan All Nations welcome but Carrie became a bar-room staple.
Between 1900 and 1910, Carrie was arrested 30 times for her 'hatchetations' until she arrived in Cincinnati. Receiving word of her impending visit, Over-The-Rhine bar owners braced for the worst. Yet upon her arrival Carrie took one step onto Vine street, turned around and left.
When asked why she did not follow her usual path of destruction, Carrie's response was
Nation serves as a tribute to the rich history of this city and neighborhood. It is meant to be an extension of your living room, a place for gathering neighbors, and a foundation for building community.

Haitians are very proud of their history, especially their war of independence from France. With all four of our instruments in the field recording data, today we visited the Citadel and San Souci Palace. The Citadel is a mountain top (3000 ft high) fortress atop very steep slopes, built from 1805-1820 to repel any forthcoming French invasion after achieving independence. The French never came back, maybe because of the more than 300 cannons, many of which were taken from Napoleon’s ship after he was defeated in Cap-Haitian. Our guides claimed that the bigger cannon could reach Cap-Haitien, but that is 17 miles away… Our guide also told us that it took 200,000 workers to ‘almost’ complete the building, and that 20,000 people perished during construction (that’s about 10 a day!) due to the treacherous working conditions. The Citadel was built by Henri Christophe, a key leader during the Haitian slave rebellion, after Haiti gained independence from France at the beginning of the 19th century. Our guides also told us that work stopped when Christophe died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound while lying infirmed in his San Souci palace, which he also built down slope from the Citadel. At the time of his death, Christophe ruled northern Haiti while Alexandre Pétion ruled in the south. Our Haitian guides said with pride that Christophe took his own life to unite the country under one leader. The San Souci palace was mostly destroyed in 1842 by a large earthquake on the Septentrional fault (northern Haiti). The fortress, however, was not severely damaged.
These historical sites are as grand as any we’ve seen in Europe – with one added advantage: we were the only visitors! While it is nice to basically have a fortress and palace to yourself, being the only game town led to us picking up an entourage of more than a dozen locals who saw us as a business opportunity. Our hosts were sure that we could not make the climb without riding horses. After we politely declined, the horses were led up the mountain anyway, as it was obvious to all that we would tire along the way – about a 45 minute hike to the top. The horses returned unridden. Upon our return we were inundated with locals hawking souvenirs. We bought several, though not nearly enough to satisfy the merchants.
Upon our return to the town that hosts these historical sites, Macly got into a long conversation with some of the residents. They were interested to know whether we were the people they saw on TV and heard on the radio talking about the earthquake. When this was confirmed, they expressed their sincere appreciation not only for our efforts to help them better understand the earthquake, but also for taking some time out to visit their historical sites, which they are very proud of. These kinds of encounters help us appreciate that even if our scientific investigations do little to change the realities of life in this earthquake prone country, our mere presence and efforts are meaningful to the Haitians.

Congress debated and revised the Declaration (the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776), finally approving it on July 4. A day earlier, John Adams had written to his wife Abigail:
More information about the 4th of July (really the 2nd of July, the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress) can be found HERE.
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
I hope you all have a happy, safe 4th of July and remember why and what we are celebrating!


Alejandro De Tomaso
It has been said that De Tomaso's production models "range from merely handsome to downright stunning", and have been called "practical exotics" (especially the Pantera).
Alejandro de Tomaso is truly an interesting personality. During the last decade he continually made headline news as he bought and sold car factories in the same way a used car dealer buys and sells Chevrolets. He juggled several companies and continued to enlarge his empire from 1966 until 1976. Beginning about 1986 some turmoil occurred, culminating in his selling half of Maserati and Innocenti to Fiat in 1989. Such are the many peaks and valley's in the career of a business tycoon. De Tomaso was born (a twin) July 10, 1928 in Buenos Aires and kept his Argentine citizenship even though he has lived in Europe for more than 35 years. His grandfather originally emigrated from the South of Italy. Alejandro's father was born in Argentina in 1894. He studied medicine and law. He was Minister of Agriculture and on his way to becoming President of Argentina when he died in 1933 at the early age of 39.
Alejandro's mother came from a wealthy family of Spanish origin and descended from a Viceroy of Argentina in 1570. Her name was Ceballos, and an avenue in Buenos Aires still carries that name.
Alejandro left school at the age of 15 and went to work on one of the many estates his mother owned. He returned to the city after the war, where he and some friends started a political news paper called "Clarin" to oppose President Peron and his government. Eventually he was arrested and forced to return to the countryside. In 1955 he returned to Buenos Aires to take part in an attempt to overthrow the Peron regime, but when this failed he was forced to leave the country (and the politics) for good.
From an early age racing and racing cars has possessed de Tomaso. In 1945 he drove his first race in a modified Bugatti Type 35. He started in club races, but in 1954 he was offered a chance to co-drive a Maserati in the 1000-km race of Buenos Aires. One year later he managed to win his class in this important race, together with Reyes in a new 2 litre Maserati A6GCS.
In 1955 he found a job as a test driver for OSCA (founded by the Maserati brothers), in Bologna, Italy. The Maserati factory did not need his help, but it was there that he met a tall American blond, Elizabeth Haskell, granddaughter of William C. Durant, one of the founders of General Motors. Elizabeth had made a name for herself racing MGs and Siatas in SCCA races, and had traveled to Modena to look for a new Maserati sports car. She bought a 150S and found a husband at the same time! Driving Elizabeth's car, de Tomaso and Tommasi finished fourth in the 1956 1000 km race of Buenos Aires. In 1956 De Tomaso married Elizabeth (who took the Italian version of her name, Isabelle). They competed together in the 12 hours race at Sebring, but went out after one hour with a broken gearbox.
In 1957 the de Tomasos arrived in Buenos Aires to compete in the 1000-km race with a new OSCA. They won the 1500 cc class in such a way that the British magazine "AUTOCAR" reported: " A most significant performance was that of the 1.5 litre OSCA, which finished ten laps behind the winner (Gregory-Perdisa-Castelotti-Musso in a 3.5 litre Ferrari), although it stopped many times towards the end; at its full performance it could probably have caught the Bonomi-Piotti 3.5 litre Maserati. The little OSCA, driven by two relatively inexperienced drivers, buzzed happily 'round the track for hours on end, frequently sailing past much larger cars".
For 1957, de Tomaso drove a new OSCA in the three-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps. The car had a new experimental engine with desmodromic valves which were not very reliable at the time. It blew up when de Tomaso was leading the race but Isabelle finished second in her class driving a Lotus.
The 1958 season opened again with the 1,000-km race of Buenos Aires. Collins and Hill in a Ferrari won the event and the De Tomasos were sidelined with a broken rear axle. In the twelve hour race at Sebring they won the Index of Performance when their 750 cc OSCA, finishing eighth overall behind some Ferraris, Porsches and Lotus. The winners of that race were again Collins and Hill in the Ferrari.
For the 1958 24-hour race at Le Mans, De Tomaso had chosen Colin Davis as his co-pilot. The duo drove the little OSCA to an 11th place and captured the Index of Performance. The 750-cc car had driven twenty-four hours with an average speed of more than 140 km/h covering 3,366 km.
In 1958 de Tomaso built his first car. Technically it was an interesting design with the 750 cc OSCA engine mounted in front of the rear axle, which was quite unusual in those days. Unfortunately the car was never raced as the Maserati Brothers, builders of the OSCA, had forbidden the Argentinean to use the engine for this purpose and wouldn't change their mind.
In 1959 the de Tomasos moved from Bologna to Modena, (where they still live), and where a second car, this time an F2 monoposto, saw the light of day. This time the Maserati brothers gave permission for the use of their DOHC 1492 cc OSCA engines and the Isis, (named after Isabelle) made its racing debut at the Sebring circuit in December 1959. The Isis made a good impression with a top speed of 240 km/h but had to retire from the race with mechanical problems. In spite of this bit of bad luck, De Tomaso accepted fifteen orders for similar cars -- which were never built -- because he already had new plans in mind. The future was to be found in the new Formula Junior class, for which he built several cars.
The next project was a Formula One car, for which Alberto Massiminio (of Maserati fame) designed a flat eight-cylinder engine. The car was seen during practice for the 1962 Italian Grand Prix but did not appear in the actual race, as the engine was not powerful enough. Virgilio Conrero then tuned a four-cylinder Alfa Romeo engine for the car, but the power was insufficient to make any impression. For the 1963 season, the F1 car was equipped with an OSCA motor. Drivers like Vaccarella, Businello and Lippi tried their luck with it but they had no chance against the Lotus, Cooper and BRM cars of the day.
In 1962 de Tomaso started experimenting with different light alloys and produced connecting rods, valves and even a crankshaft in titanium. For the SCCA G-Class he built a sports car with an OSCA engine in the rear. Bob Schroeder bought a similar car, (fitted with an Alfa Romeo engine) and had some success with it. For the British firm Holbay De Tomaso developed a four-cylinder engine for F2 racing. This motor was, in fact, half of Massiminio's flat eight but again it remained a one off.
Like so many drivers and designers, the Indianapolis 500 fascinated de Tomaso. In 1964 he wanted his cars to compete there, so he built one just for "The Brickyard". Power came from a Ford V8 mounted in the rear of the car, but more interesting was the body layout. The front end of the car was cast in a single piece of magnesium by Campagnolo, with double walls, with the intervening space serving as a fuel tank. The car was shipped to the USA on July 27, 1963 for testing at the Oval, but that's the last we heard of it. It did not attempt to qualify for the 1964 race. Another one off was an F3 car shown in 1963. Similar to the Indy car the engine was part of the chassis structure, a device De Tomaso was to use on most of his future models.
In 1965 a "production car" was shown at last. It was dubbed the Vallelunga, named after the racing circuit near Rome and though the prototype had been a spyder, the production car was a two-seater coupe. A wide backbone formed the chassis and the power came from a tuned Ford Cortina engine. de Tomaso himself had reportedly designed the body of this attractive looking car. Fifty Vallelunga's were built, a number too small to get the car out of its development stage.
In 1965 a new spyder was built around a back-bone frame. This time, the backbone was built up from aluminum sheet so that the tub, with a diameter of 35 cm could serve as a fuel tank. At the rear end of the tub a 1831-cc flat eight-cylinder engine was mounted. Why De Tomaso built this car is unknown and it looked as if he was working more for himself than for his customers.
The development of a sports car with a Ford five litre V8 was not followed up either. The body of this car was designed by the American stylist, Pete Brock and the actual bodywork was done by Fantuzzi in Modena. An interesting detail was found in the rear spoiler that was coupled to the gearshift lever. The higher the gear ratio, the flatter the position of the spoiler. Carrozzeria Ghia built a second, similar car, but that was the end of the production.
Bigger production facilities were opened in 1966 at the via del Vitali 55 in Modena. "More space and better people" must have been de Tomaso's thinking as he engaged experts like Nello Ugolini, Ing Dallara, Molinari and Bellentani. In this new factory there was room enough for a second production car, the Mangusta, which had a body designed by Giugiaro and built by Ghia; but again the car offered to the public was slightly under developed and had more than its share of faults.
Carrozzeria Ghia had been active in coach building since 1915 and during the sixties was looked upon as one of the most important specialists in this field. Financially, in 1967, things were not so rosy. Since the death of Giacinto Ghia the company had been sold several times and in 1967, it was owned was Rafael Trujillo, son of the dictator of the Dominican Republic. Trujillo was in jail in 1967 and needed bail money badly. de Tomaso had enough cash to make a down payment and was able to buy the firm for $ 650,000. Alfieri Maserati, son of Ernesto Maserati, became director and de Tomaso rented a new office at the Corso Unione Sovietica 300 in Turin to supervise his new acquisition.
Isabelle de Tomaso's brother, Amory Haskell and her brother in law, John C. Ellis ran a successful business in New Jersey, the Rowan Controller Company of Oceanport. The company did well and was quite profitable particularly in electronics. Cars interested them as well and so de Tomaso sold Ghia to his relatives in May 1967. In October 1967, Rowan also obtained 80% of the De Tomaso Automobili stock leaving Alejandro with enough cash in the bank for more new ventures. One of these was a Formula 2 car for which Gianpaolo Dallara made the drawings. Jackie Ickx drove the car on the circuit of Enna. Piers Courage tried his luck at Vallelunga and then the car was shipped to South America for Jonathan Williams to compete in the Argentine Temporada.
In 1969 De Tomaso Automobili moved to the via Jacopo Peri 68, where the production of the Mangusta really got going. 1969 must have been an important year for de Tomaso! He not only bought Carrozzeria Vignale (70% of the money came from Rowan), but he also made his first contacts with Henry Ford II, a move that was to have a direct influence on his future.
Henry Ford's second wife, Christina Vettore, was of Italian origin, and that might have been one of the reasons why Ford wanted to buy an Italian automobile company. In 1963, he had tried in vain to buy Ferrari and four years later he had started dealing with Lancia, also without success. With de Tomaso he succeeded and in a press bulletin of September 9, 1969 Ford announced that the Ford Motor Company had made arrangements to exchange technical services with De Tomaso and Carrozzeria Ghia. And in addition Ghia was to build prototypes and show cars for the Americans.
In March 1970 Amory Haskell and John Ellis died when their small private plane touched the tower of their airfield and between the heirs there was the de Tomaso family.
In June 1970 Ford bought 80% of the Ghia, Vignale and De Tomaso Automobili stock and the remaining 20% went to a new firm, De Tomaso Inc.
A first joint venture was the Pantera, the car most often associated with De Tomaso. In Italy the car was built under the code name "Tipo 874" but at Ford the project was named M.S.E for Mid-Ship-Engine. The Pantera was meant for the American market and Ford kept the rights to serve this market. Importation was handled by De Tomaso of America Inc. in Livonia, Michigan and sales and the Lincoln-Mercury Division in Dearborn looked after service. De Tomaso was allowed to sell the car in other areas of the world. In 1971 De Tomaso sold approximately 300 Panteras in Europe. When the first cars arrived in the USA, it was soon clear that they were far from perfect, but evolution and improvement made them quite impressive especially for the price. Problems were numerous, and were compounded by ever more stringent pollution, bumper, noise and gas mileage legislation. Several 1975 prototypes and alternative were shown, but it was just the wrong time. It was unfortunate but importation stopped at the end of 1974. Lincoln-Mercury claimed that 6,091 Panteras had been brought to the U.S. by then.
In the meantime de Tomaso had not forgotten the racing scene; quite the contrary. With the help of Dallara, three cars were built for Formula One to be raced by the Frank Williams Team in 1970. Williams got the cars free of charge but had to buy the engines himself and worry about the maintenance.
In October 1971 de Tomaso began a new career, this time in the motorcycle business by he buying the Benelli factory. By the end of 1972 he also owned the famous Moto Guzzi works.
Dallara left de Tomaso to join Iso Rivolta in 1973 and Ugolini retired the same year. He was replaced by Aurelio Bertocchi, who brought his famous father, Guarrino Bertocchi (he had worked for Maserati since 1926), with him as a test driver. Guarrino Bertocchi died 1981 in a De Tomaso Deauville during a demonstration run on the Autostrada between Mirandola and Modena. His son suffered a similar fate in February 1985.
The present De Tomaso works at the via Emilia Ovest 1,250 in Modena were opened in 1973. Here, Panteras were built for all countries (except the USA) alongside Deauvilles and Longchamps.
Bad times were heralded in the way of an oil crises: during the first three months of 1973 Lamborghini had sold fifty-four cars, worsening to only nineteen examples for 1974! Other exotic car manufacturers had the same problem, with production numbers for Maserati ninety-four and forty-two, and for Ferrari sixty-seven and twenty-eight respectively. De Tomaso was hit even harder. During the first quarter of 1973, sales totaled 101 cars but for the same quarter of 1974 production had fallen to only twenty-nine cars. In 1975 Citroen offered the Maserati works for sale and of course De Tomaso was interested. He bought 30% of the shares with the remaining 70% being taken by GEPI, a state institution that buys financially weak companies to prevent workers from losing their jobs. For Ing Giulio Alfieri, who had been responsible for the most important cars built by Maserati during the last twenty years, this was a reason to move to Lamborghini. Other Maserati workers were sent home and De Tomaso reduced its workforce from 900 to 600, a measure that the GEPI had tried to prevent. The next step in enlarging the De Tomaso Empire took place in February 1976 when he bought a 25% stake in Innocenti a move, which was followed by the purchase of another 55% in 1979. In 1989 De Tomaso sold 51% of his Innocenti and 49% of his Maserati stock to Fiat.
In July 1990, the very last of the original Panteras left the "production line". Its successor had been shown at the Turin Motor Show some months earlier, and this 1991 Nuova (new) Pantera was not be the last of Alejandro De Tomaso's creations.Whereas the prior car was of a monocoque chassis layout, this new and final version of the Pantera employed a largely tube frame structure. The goals were lighter weight and increased chassis rigidity. Both goals were met according to the factory. An all new suspension was also part of the package. The earliest units of the new car still employed the ZF 5-speed transaxle, while later cars offered a Getrag 6-speed unit. The 1991 cars also marked a major change in the engine compartment. While all previous Panteras carried the aforementioned 351 Cleveland (and some 351 Windsor) engines, the new model switched to a modified 5.0 liter (302 cu. in) Ford V-8, a unit that traced its roots back to the same engine used in the Mangusta. Rated at 305 horsepower, the new unit employed computer controlled direct port fuel injection and the latest electronic engine management systems. ANSA developed a fully catalyzed exhaust system for cleaner exhaust emissions, yet the car maintained the deep toned exhaust note associated with a Pantera.
The Guara represents De Tomaso’s first all new model of the 1990s. Built upon central spine chassis, this mid-engined design conceptually recalls the original Vallelunga, The Guara was conceived with exceptionally high performance as its main goal.
First shown at the Geneva Motor Show in concept for in 1993, the Guara went into production in 1994. It is available in close coupe, spyder (with a removable roof section) or barchetta (full open roadster) form. The Guara’s body panels are rendered in combinations of fiberglass, Kevlar and other composite materials. The styling was done in-house by DeTomaso.
Presented at the 1996 Geneva Motor Show, the Bigua’s shape and concept was a joint effort between Alejandro DeTomaso and Marcello Gandini. Its most unique feature is its modular top design, which can be configured in any of three ways: closed coupe, open topped targa, or full open convertible. The middle top section is removable, and the rear top / window portion can rotate down into the body. No cloth soft top is required!
For power, De Tomaso has again partnered with Ford, this time for their latest high performance V-8. The all alloy, double overhead cam, 4-valve-per-cylinder V-8 engine is rated at 305 horsepower, and includes complete electronic engine management and direct port fuel injection. One of Ford’s newest designs, it is extremely powerful, docile and sturdy. Both a Borg-Warner 5-speed manual transmission and a computer managed 4-speed automatic unit will be available. Without a doubt, the Bigua (sold in the US as the Qvale Mangusta - ed.) will not be the last of DeTomaso's Creations.
Alejandro De Tomaso passed away in May, 2003.

The National Cadet Corps (Hindi: राष्ट्रीय कैडेट कोर) is the Indian military cadet corps with its Headquarters at New Delhi. It is open to school and college students on voluntary basis.
The National Cadet Corps in India is a voluntary organization which recruits cadets from high schools, colleges and Universities all over India. The Cadets are given basic military training in small arms and parades. The officers and cadets have no liability for active military service once they complete their course but are given preference over normal candidates during selections based on the achievements in the corps.
The NCC in India was formed with the National Cadet Corps Act of 1948. It was raised on 15 July 1948. The National Cadet Corps can be considered as a successor of the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC) which was established by the British Government in 1942. During World War II, the UOTC never came up to the expectations set by the British. This led to the idea that some better schemes should be formed, which could train more young men in a better way, even during peace. A committee headed by Pandit H.N. Kunzru recommended a cadet organization to be established in schools and colleges at a national level. The National Cadet Corps Act was accepted by the Governor General and on 15 July 1948 the National Cadet Corps came into existence.

Rugs and other weavings associated with the Bakhtiari tribe fall into two groups, the first which can be described as ‘tribal’ and the second as ‘workshop’. The Bakhtiari, like many of the other great tribal groups of Persia, were formed into a Confederation in 1867 under the leadership of Ilkhan (supreme khan or leader); the particular Bakhtiari sub-tribe from the Ilkhans, the Zarasavand, were already very wealthy by this time, owning large amounts of the Chahar Mahall Valley to the east of Zagros Mountains and also great areas to the west of the range around the town of Shushtar.
The ‘tribal’ weaving of the Bakhtiari consist not only of large and extremely ornate saddle-bags and other similar woven containers but also superb rugs woven on wool foundations, some of them very large; compared to workshop rugs, these wool-based pieces are rare. Workshop rugs, although also often of magnificent quality and sometimes huge, can be distinguished from the ‘tribal’ pieces by the fact that they have cotton foundations. These were made in workshops of various sizes in the hundreds of villages in the Chahar Mahall valley owned by the Great Khans of the Bakhtiari, as well as in towns in the same Shahr-e-Kord and Shalamzar, which they also owned. In the first part of the twentieth century, when oil was struck on Bakhtiari land and the Great Khans owned a share of Persia’s oil revenues, their enormous wealth enabled them to ensure that only the finest materials were used for their rugs. Many such pieces bear inscriptions stating that were woven to the order of particular Khan, all of whom built huge mansions and palaces throughout the Chahar Mahall and elsewhere in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
A number of well-known designs are associated with Bakhtiari, including the so-called ‘garden’ or ‘garden-tile’ pattern of rectangles containing different motifs arranged all over the field, rugs with trees and flowering branches. Bakhtiari rugs, whether tribal or workshop, are dyed entirely with vegetable colours and they are among the most splendid and vivid of all nineteenth – and early twentieth- century Persian weavings. The Turkish knot is always used.

Le Lieu Besnard,


Liuerpul is the original name of Liverpool in the 12th century. But the earliest traces of history date back to the first Century BC before the Roman invasion. Native Iron-age farms in Liverpool had agriculture, pottery, vessel making, and metallurgy as the main professions. Spinning, corn grinding, wooden works, and spindle works were the secondary professions. Brythonic was the oldest Celtic language spoken by the natives here. Leather was the main dress material for the natives. They used the skins of buffaloes, cows and sheep by hand stitching and altering.
The arrival of Romans seemed to have a big impact on the lifestyle of Liverpool people. Agriculture, animal farming, cottage industries, wool spinning, bronze and metal casting were started within Liverpool. Pottery was used as the main source for making household vessels. It was the time when Liverpool natives were introduced to the luxurious woollen and silk dress materials from Rome. Jewellery was also introduced for the first time.
According to historians, Roman coins were also brought into Liverpool to be used in trading and commerce. People started wearing shoes and protective footwear made from leather and wool. Liverpool started modernizing with the growth of the Roman Empire and influence.
End of Roman Empire in 410AD saw the rise of Anglo-Saxon era in Liverpool. According to historians, they arrived in large ships from across the North Sea. They consisted of Saxons, Jutes, and Angles. They brought the era of advanced metallurgy, jewellery, glass, tallow lamps, garnet, Quartz, Iron, dyes for woven clothes, weaving looms, and plenty of other everyday usage devices.
The Anglo-Saxon era duration was for a period of 600 years till 1066. English literature saw great improvements. They introduced drama, poetry, classical music, biblical poetry, and many other forms of literature. The present-day modern English is believed to originate from the roots of German, Saxon, and other related languages.
Modern Liverpool started its roots from Scientific and industrial revolution from 1473 to 1543 and 1760 to 1840 respectively. The discovery of fossil fuels like petroleum and the invention of electricity in 1879 changed the modernization phase from that time. Liverpool started its journey on the path to become a modern city.
