LUM - the Place of Memory, Tolerance and Social Inclusion
This is a very special, indispensable space for Peruvians. It commemorates the thousands of victims of Peru’s longest and most devastating period of violence. 1980-2000. With an expert, you’ll have the honour to engage in and reflect on truthful discussions around social problems that still exist in Peruvian Society.
Telling the story of an intriguing destination brings with it the responsibility of telling it all. That means even the painful bits. Peru too has amongst other a more recent, long, complex story, one of violence and pain, from 1980 to 2000. Yes, that recent. Those 20 years were so intense, that you can still see grief and conflict when the story is narrated. It was as though they were co-existing with crimes against humanity. It all began 12 years after military dictatorship, with the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso declaring war on 17thMay, 1980. It was professor of philosophy, Abimael Guzmán, alias comrade Gonzalo who led it, declaring that he was fighting against the bourgeois institutions and that he aimed to establish a rural communist regime. But it was these very people, farmer, communal leaders and local authorities who were the majority of victims of the violence. Inaugurated in 2015, LUM is a space that commemorates the victims of this devastating period. It aims to “to be a space of recollection, reflection and analysis of who we are and of our history, particularly the exclusion, the intolerance, the weak presence of the State and even the inability of the institutions to foresee and respond to terrorism respecting the democratic channels.” Victims are seen as individuals, “every one, a place of memory.” But that’s not where it stops. During this time, more than 45 thousand people were displaced from their homes, from rural areas to urban areas, mainly Lima, many were forced to disappear too. And many others gave their lives to save others. LUM gives hope to discuss the past, investigate it and confront problems that still exist. It is a reminder that families will not stop looking for their brothers, sons, fathers, and that democracy is worth fighting for.

Alongside Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic, Austria is one of PORR’s “home markets”. Here, in the old imperial city of Vienna, is where PORR’s success story began in 1869; the company was formed by leading industrialists for the purpose of reshaping Vienna’s Ringstrasse.
The company has been successful in Austria for more than 140 years and has realised countless famous, trailblazing projects in the course of its history. In addition to the architectural highlights of the Gründerzeit in Vienna, the most important pioneering works include numerous infrastructure projects such as the Glockner High Alpine Road, technically demanding power plants such as Kaprun pumped storage power plant and a large number of Austria’s tunnel projects.

A national park is a park in use for conservation purposes. Often it is a reserve of natural, semi-natural, or developed land that a sovereign state declares or owns. Although individual nations designate their own national parks differently, there is a common idea: the conservation of wild nature for posterity and as a symbol of national pride. An international organization, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and its World Commission on Protected Areas, has defined “National Park” as its Category II type of protected areas.
While this type of national park had been proposed previously, the United States established the first “public park or pleasuring-ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people”, Yellowstone National Park, in 1872. Although Yellowstone was not officially termed a “national park” in its establishing law, it was always termed such in practice and is widely held to be the first and oldest national park in the world. Some would say that the first official national park to be designated as such at its creation was Mackinac Island, legislated in 1875. Australia’s Royal National Park, established in 1879, was the world’s third official national park. In 1895 ownership of Mackinac Island was transferred to the State of Michigan as a state park and national park status was consequently lost. As a result Australia’s Royal National Park is by some considerations the second oldest national park now in existence.

Jan Huygens van Linschoten
The world's greatest disruptive act of Open Access Publishing.
The Dutch are pragmatists. If there's a more practical, hard-nosed, outcome-oriented culture that is steeped in business and trade, it might be the Chinese. But the Dutch are (in so many ways) giants in the history of trade and commerce.
So it may be surprising that what is arguably history's most disruptive act of creating a 'commons of knowledge' that opened up global trade to competition and fair-play came from a Dutchman, Jan Huygens van Linschoten
van Linschoten managed in a single act of sharing - in his case the pilfered Portuguese portolans and charts - to open the world of maritime commerce up to free and open competition, stimulating an era of growth and innovation in technology - shipbuilding, sailing, logistics, cartography and navigation - and in business - insurance, investment tools, financial instruments - that changed civilization for ever.
In 1596 or thereabouts, van Linschoten published what had for over a century and a half, the state secrets of Portugal - the maritime cartography of the Indies - West and East.

It is located in Worcester County, Massachusetts. The population was 16,719 at the 2010 census. Southbridge is one of fourteen Massachusetts municipalities that have applied for, and been granted, city forms of government but wish to retain "The town of” in their official names.
Southbridge has a long history of manufacturing optical products, earning it the unofficial title "Eye of the Commonwealth", in reference to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Under the Wells family, the American Optical Company ("AO") became the world's largest manufacturer of ophthalmic products, and at its height employed more than 6,000 people around the world. Many of its workers were exempted from the draft during World War II since they were doing vital defense work, including making Norden bombsights and even some work on the atomic bomb.

The starting point for Second nature is a research on the artificial hills of Germany, where several cities had their topography redesigned in the post-war period. Ruins and debris were used to create artificial hills, which were soon covered in vegetation and turned into parks. A few decades later, this process has created a new ecosystem, which is now a natural-looking formation.
Photographs of these parks built on artificial hills are displayed next to blocks of concrete. These pieces reproduce, to scale, the architectural structure of two buildings that bear the same name: the Malakoff Tower (built with materials from the old Forte do Bom Jesus in Recife) and the Malakoff Building in Porto Alegre (the city’s first skyscraper, which was demolished decades ago), both located in Brazil.
The concrete blocks are covered with black soil. While part of the shape is still visible, the layer of soil suggests that a newfound nature is starting to form over these structures.
Three photographs measuring 120 x 220cm from parks that were constructed on the surface of artificial mountains, concrete blocks reproducing the basic structures of two buildings (the Malakoff Building in Porto Alegre and Malakoff Tour in Recife) partially covered with black soil.
Many cities in Germany had their topographies redrawn after the II World War, when ruins and debris were replaced and used to build artificial mounds. These places were projected to become parks, having their surfaces covered with soil and vegetation. After some decades, this rearrangement process shaped a new ecosystem. Nowadays these areas have a native nature appearance.
In the city of Berlin, the artificial hills have a particular aspect: many of them were built over pre-existing bunkers that could not be destroyed because of its solid construction. Because of that, it is still possible to spot parts of the bunkers amidst the artificial mountains. What was initiated with a solid construction with strong symbolic power, ended up being a sort of new nature, simulating an untouched environment.

Discover the GALATA TOWER !
When Istanbul is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is the city’s deep-rooted history and magnificent works from this history. Galata tower is one of the most imposing and magnificent of these works.
The district, which hosts the Galata Tower, which is one of the most important works of the historical city view, has an appearance that brings together the past and the present, bearing the traces of the multicultural structure of the city. This is the most romantic one of the works to visit in Istanbul. Travel Advice on Turkey !
We leave you alone with our article where you can discover the Galata Tower.
HISTORY OF THE GALATA TOWER
Galata tower, one of the most important symbols of the city, was built in 528 in the Galata district of Istanbul. This tower, one of the oldest towers in the world, was first built by the Byzantine Emperor Anastasius as a lantern tower. It was severely damaged during the crusades in 1204 and was repaired by the Genoese in 1348 using masonry stones.
The Genoese restored the tower, which was the tallest building in the city in those years, and changed its name to the tower of Christ. The tower was elevated in 1445-1446, and then, after the conquest of Istanbul by Mehmet the Conqueror in 1453, it was under the protection of the Turks and was restored every century. It was used as a shelter for Christian prisoners working in the Kasımpaşa shipyards in the 16th century.
An observatory was established in the time of Sultan Murat III, and this observatory was closed in 1579. In 1638, the flight of Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi from Galata to Üsküdar by wearing his eagle wings made of wood attracted the attention of all European countries, especially England. There are still articles or models about this flight in many countries. The Galata tower, which was used as a fire watchtower in 1717, burned more than half of it in a fire that broke out during the 3rd season. The tower, which was repaired later, was damaged again by an oil released in 1831. In 1875, its roof was toppled, and after the great repair that started in 1965 and completed in 1967, it took its present appearance.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE GALATA TOWER
The height of the tower from the ground is 69.90 meters. The thickness of the outer wall is 3.75 meters and the inner diameter of the round is 8.95 meters. The approximate weight of the tower, which was built with an outer diameter of 16.45 meters, is estimated at 10 thousand tons.
This tower, where you can watch the most beautiful 360-degree panoramic view of Istanbul, has been included in the list of world temporary heritage by UNESCO.
THE LEGEND AND HISTORY OF THE GALATA TOWER
The best-known legend of Galata tower is undoubtedly the love this flamboyant tower feels for the lonely and delicate girl’s tower on the sea. These towers, who glanced at each other unaware of their love for years, were thinking about how to tell each other their love. One day Hezarfen learned that Hezarfen would fly to Üsküdar from Galata and asked him to deliver all the letters he wrote to Ahmet Çelebie. Approaching the Salacak beach, Hezarfen leaves the letters and waves and winds deliver the letter to the maiden’s tower. Thus, the Maiden Tower is sure of Galata’s love. Thus, a love that defies centuries was born between the two towers.
According to a story based on the Roman period, it is that you will marry the first person of the opposite sex to the Galata Tower. According to some, this spell is broken if you go out alone or with someone else.
WHERE IS THE GALATA TOWER?
Galata Tower is in the Galata district of Istanbul. You can reach the tower on foot from Karaköy and from Karaköy-Beyoğlu historical Tunnel. You can reach this tower, which hosts thousands of love, by walking along Istiklal Avenue from Taksim.
If you are coming from Kabataş, Zeytinburnu, Eminönü direction, you can use the Kabataş Bağcılar tram line to climb up the Galata Tower in Karaköy.
If you are coming from Şişli, Sarıyer, Levent, you can use the Hacıosman-Yenikapı metro to get off at Şişhane and go down the slope to the tower easily.

Commemorating 120 Years of Supporting and Advocating for Michigan Manufacturers
This article appeared in the Jan/Feb 2023 issue of MiMfg Magazine. Read the full issue and find past issues online.
For more than a century, the manufacturing industry has propelled Michigan forward — through good times and in challenging times. A lot has changed from the introduction of the Model T or Michigan’s Arsenal of Democracy — but one thing has remained true: MMA has been the state’s unwavering advocate for the manufacturing industry since 1902.
We are celebrating our 120th anniversary by looking not only at our past but at our collective future as the next generation of tinkerers and titans shapes our state’s economy, our livelihoods, our communities and families.
To appreciate that future, let’s take a look back through the decades of MMA’s evolution and the story of our state’s most vital industry.
1902 — 1931
MMA is Founded
MMA was officially founded in 1902 by 130 manufacturing leaders who joined together to address tax fairness and the creation of a workers’ compensation system to protect employees. This century also marks the first golden age of the automobile, as Michigan’s Big Three auto companies are born in the early 20th century. MMA preceded all of the major automakers — Ford was founded in 1903, General Motors in 1908 and Chrysler in 1925 — and was at the forefront of a statewide and cultural shift as cities and industrial jobs began to boom.
1932 — 1945
Supporting the Great Arsenal of Democracy
Defined by one of the most impactful events of the 20th century, this era saw America entering World War II when everyone, especially manufacturers, did their part to support our fighting men and women. When Michigan’s manufacturers turned their attention to the war effort, the response was powerful. Automotive production lines quickly converted into building aircraft, armored vehicles and naval material. Detroit was termed the “Arsenal of Democracy” by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in one of his many fireside chat radio addresses to the nation.
During the challenges of the war period, MMA continued to meet the needs of manufacturers by becoming one of the first trade associations in the nation to institute its own group life insurance program in 1943. Even before the onset of the war, MMA developed an unemployment compensation act to assist workers during the Great Depression.
Watch a brief video about MMA’s history below
1946 — 1965
“Motor Capital of the World” and Entrepreneurship Rise
Post-WWII, Michigan, along with the rest of the country, experienced a generational population explosion. It certainly was a booming time for Michigan families as the postwar economy — propelled by the highest level of personal savings in the nation’s history — was primed and ready to soar to new heights. After the war, MMA was faced with having to adapt to faster, more innovative businesses needing solutions to employment, workers’ compensation issues and a more complex legislative environment. By this point, MMA’s insurance offerings began to grow and evolve in order to meet the needs of our members, which is a core concept that has helped MMA provide significant value and cost savings.
1966 — 1982
MMA Forms Committees to Address Legislation, Service Corporation is Founded
Continued growth and change within MMA was highlighted with the formation of the first policy committees to provide a valuable forum for members to help shape statewide policy. Committees on air quality, water quality and hazardous and solid waste worked to ensure new environmental regulations were fair, effective and didn’t unnecessarily burden the manufacturing industry. In 1976, MMA organized a product liability committee and examined product liability impacts, identified solutions, charted legislative options and drafted a workable, comprehensive bill.
In 1980, the MMA Service Corporation (MMASC) was founded as a for-profit subsidiary of MMA. Through MMASC, manufacturers could obtain “all-employee coverage” for accidental death and disability, dental coverage, workers’ compensation and property and casualty coverage for plants and equipment. Since that time, MMASC has continued to grow, providing tremendous value to members through the group buying power of over 35,000 insured employees.
1983 — 2002
Legislative Advocacy Spurs Growth
MMA’s work in the legislative arena not only impacts our members but these same policies and programs create more economic opportunities throughout the entire state. Advancing manufacturing interests supports a vibrant statewide economy, education and good-paying jobs. That is why, during this period and beyond, MMA has worked tirelessly to champion these opportunities that are vital to the health and livelihood of our communities. One of MMA’s most significant victories took place in 1995, with the rollback of the Single Business Tax, which had placed Michigan businesses at a competitive disadvantage compared with neighboring states.
2003 — 2022
MMA Adapts and Evolves
If the story of our last 120 years has taught us anything, it’s that MMA has adapted and evolved to support its members and the state. During the past 20 years, MMA has focused on its core mission of advancing the cause of manufacturing through effective legislative advocacy while at the same time expanding value-driven services to its members. Legislative victories like the elimination of the state’s Personal Property Tax in 2016 (saving Michigan manufacturers over $4 billion and counting) continued as well as the implementation of modern solutions to members such as enhanced networking events, online learning opportunities, workforce development solutions and more.
Looking to the Future
Michigan will continue to be the cradle of innovation and invention for generations to come and MMA will continue to advocate tirelessly on behalf of the entire industry to provide valuable services and resources to our members.

Excerpt from Lives of the Elizabethan Bishops: Of the Anglican Church
This work comprises seventy-six Lives, commencing with William Barlow, consecrated in 1536, and ending with John Jegon, consecrated in 1603. Nearly every book bearing on the subject has been carefully read, and, where necessary, used; but the material employed has been largely taken from manuscripts which have either never been printed or, if so, seldom come in the way of the general reader. In the former case they have, wherever it was possible, been con sulted in the originals, and exactly quoted as there given.
Among them may be mentioned the State Papers at the Public Record Office; the large collections at the British Museum; those at Lambeth, including the archiepiscopal registers; the Petyt Papers at the Inner Temple; and last, but not least, the most interesting and important collection at Hatfield, which, by the kindness of the Marquis of Salisbury, the author was allowed to consult. Of these, nearly two hundred volumes were carefully perused, and extracts made where judged necessary.

Bentley Motors is one of the leading British automobile manufacturers in the world. The company is known for producing some of the fastest, most luxurious cars in the automotive industry. We all know and adore famous cars like the Continental GT, Bentayga, and Flying Spur. Perhaps, it’s time for us to take you through the history of Bentley motors, the first car produced by them, and why their cars are so expensive. Let’s get straight to it.
Background of Bentley
Founded by W.O. Bentley, Bentley Motors Limited started its automotive venture in 1919 from Cricklewood, London. The company is currently headquartered in Crewe, England, and is widely recognised for producing luxurious sedan, coupes, and SUVs.
In its initial years, Bentley participated in major racing events like the 24 Hours Le Mans and took several titles to its name from 1924 to 1930. The Speed Six by Bentley, was the first iconic racing car that put the company at the forefront of performance cars during its era.
“To build a fast car, a good car, and the best in its class is what we aim for” – Bentley
Post the great depression, in 1968, Bentley Motors was acquired by another leading luxury automaker, Rolls Royce. These companies shared their technology, design ques, and other mechanical components. Though they were competitors, they still thrived together for over 30 years and gained significant popularity as luxury car brands. Later, in 1998, the Volkswagen Group acquired Bentley, and most recently, VW sub-brand Audi took over Bentley operations.
These cars have become so popular in the UAE, resulting in a rise in demand for Bentley car rental in Dubai.

Bentley EXP1 was the first car produced by the brand in 1919. Founder W.O. Bentley used his knowledge and expertise from the aircraft industry to build world-class cars. Everything from the 3.0 L 4-cylinder engine to the bodywork and design of the EXP 1 was developed by him.
The car had a lean-long front hood, with slender spoke wheels and two seats. It featured a monobloc engine with four valves for each cylinder, double magnetos and twin spark plugs. This engine produced a total of 100 horsepower and could reach a top speed of 65 mph. The car is now exhibited at Bentley’s headquarters at Crewe for visitors to take a glimpse into the history of this legendary brand.
Who makes Bentley motor cars?
Bentley motors have been owned and managed by the VW group since 1998. Hence, all the production operations and distribution of Bentley automobiles have been overseen by them. In 2022, the management of Bentley was consolidated by Audi, another premium automaker owned by Volkswagen Group.
“Bentley cars showcase artistic designs both on the exterior and the interior.”
Moving forward, the company aims to adopt eco-friendly technology in all their vehicles to create sustainable automobiles. They have also announced the reduction of leather in their cars by using recycled materials.

Albania isolated in itself regarding most of the world having one fourth out of a century after The second world war. With more than 750,100 Albanians surviving in nearby Yugoslavia, fear of one country might have been a stable factor in Albania. Whenever Stalin expelled Yugoslavia about ComInform into the 1948, Albania sided having Moscow. Once Stalin’s demise when you look at the 1953, Hoxha continued to check out a difficult “Stalinist” line. So it provoked broadening stress towards the Kremlin and friendship with Communist China. In the 1960, within the an enthusiastic ideological dispute between Soviet and you may Chinese Communists, have a glance at this web-site Albania sided having Asia. This new Soviets bankrupt diplomatic interactions which have Albania inside 1961 and then take off all military and you can monetary help. Albania allied in itself into the alot more ideological sheer Chinese.

The land currently designated as Paramount Open Space was acquired slowly from the late 1960s through the early 2000s. Prior to becoming a park much of the land was a peat bog, much of which was mined during the early 1900s. Like most peat bogs in Shoreline, and throughout Puget Sound, nothing remains of the original bog plant community. Today, the former bog is mostly dry except for Little’s Creek and a restored wetland near the south end of the park. Most of the area encompassing the park was purchased with funds from the King County Forward Thrust bonds approved in 1968. Additional parcels were purchased during a 20 year period from the late 1980s through the early 2000s through neighborhood efforts to acquire land along the southern and eastern boundaries of the park threatened with development. During this time neighborhood volunteers managed efforts to restore wetlands at the south end of the park and build trails. Over the ensuing years native forest grow over the restored wetlands, but English ivy and other invasive species have spread throughout the park and threaten to overtake nearly all forested areas. Friends of Paramount was established in 2018 to remove invasive species and ensure that native trees that iconic to the northwest, such as Douglas-fir and western redcedar persist at Paramount.


Henry VIII and Suleiman the Magnificent were contemporaries that had dramatically different approaches to succession management. In theory, an English king had one wife whose first-born son would succeed the king. The rulers of the Ottoman empire had harems which included several concubines who could produce heirs.
The modern day business parallels are the organization that designates one successor to its leader versus the organization that nurtures several possible successors and lets the best successor emerge.
Which works better?
Henry VIII’s Succession
Henry’s first wife Catherine of Aragon produced no sons – divorced her. Then second wife Anne Boleyn produced no sons – beheaded her. Then Jane Seymour did produce a son, but died in childbirth. And Henry’s next three wives, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr produced no children. Further, none of Henry’s children had children. Henry was succeeded by his son Edward who was succeeded by Mary who was succeeded by Elizabeth who was the last of the Tudor monarchs. All in, the Tudors held the crown of England from 1485 to 1603 – 118 years.
Suleiman the Magnificent’s Succession
Conversely, one of Suleiman’s eight sons succeeded him. Then that son’s son succeeded him and so on. (Note I’m not talking about the accepted practice of the new ruler’s killing all his brothers to head off any possible succession disputes.) All in, Suleiman’s relatives ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1299 to 1922 – 623 years.
The implication for business today is that options reduce risk. Locking in on one successor reduces options and opens the organization up to the risk of choosing wrong or something happening to the chosen successor. Keeping more options open longer reduces that risk because the other possible successors are more likely to stay around and more likely to continue to be nurtured for the role.
We’ll address the personal benefits of harems in a later article – particularly now that our understanding of DNA makes male as well as female harems feasible.

Why Math History Matters
It’s been a decade since Buzzmath introduced its “Missions”, a gamified learning environment where Middle School students can learn about math history. At that time, curriculum efforts including math history were usually thumbnail size grey portraits of mathematicians, off to the margins of textbooks, clearly indicating that the history of mathematics was not central to learning mathematics. It is important to mention that almost all the mathematicians that were to be found in textbooks around that time, which was still considered progressive for math education, were white males.
The start of this decade sees a completely different landscape for math history. The emergent equity issues have facilitated and promoted ideas like culturally responsive math curriculums, creating an organic and reflexive gaze into a rich and vibrant past of mathematics–that includes all races, cultures, and civilizations of our long past.
That’s just it. Math history is our history, and our history is our stories. We need to tell these stories. A mathematical history has never had greater illuminative power than in the book Crest of the Peacock: Non-European Roots of Mathematics by George Joseph. The opening sentences speak to that inspiring energy.
The energy and appetite for embracing the history of mathematics has almost become a moral imperative in math education, and we would like to surf that big wave of obligation and enthusiasm by sharing more detailed stories about the mathematicians highlighted in our Missions. It is important to know not just more about them, but also the ongoing thematic development of mathematics they were involved in. The more we learn about our ancestors, the more we learn about what a profoundly human endeavor the creation of mathematics was.
And, continues to be…
But, that is what exploring math history does. It humanizes mathematics and gives us, especially our students, a greater sense of identity as they continue on their journey exploring mathematics. They need these stories, and the stories need them.
We are the oxygen for all these stories.
Too often mathematicians are seen as one-dimensional, having had no other interest or qualities other than finding new mathematics ideas. This is also a myth and, here, one that we would like to break. So, in the weeks ahead, we would like to share more detailed stories about the mathematicians in our Missions. We hope to bring more color and texture to these stories, and as such, motivate you to learn more about the rich and deep history of the most important language in our universe, mathematics!


Our house at the corner has hosted some sort of business for the last decades. Around 1940 the house was built as a grocery store and a served as a bunker for the neighbourhood during World War II. It mainly served it’s purposes until the year 2007 when we closed the store and changed our business in to a spice factory which we then ran for 8 years. For your interest take a look at www.bestalambid.is
In the beginning of 2015 we thought it was time for some changes and decided to sell the spice business. Many ideas dropped in to our heads but in the end it was the very first idea about a place for bikers that came through after a whole lot of brainstorming.
Dreams are supposed to be followed and that’s what we are doing with Bike Cave.

During the Depression, an enterprising Joseph Faigle Sr. first began the business, going door-to-door buying gold. With the money raised from his effort, he was able to rent a tiny space in a building in downtown Cincinnati. He brought his brother along with him, and together they began to repair and create fine jewelry pieces.
After the two later parted, in 1946, Joseph Sr. bought a small house on Quebec Road in the Fairmount area of the city and began Joseph Faigle and Sons Jewelers. With the help of his two sons, Joseph Jr. and Gilbert, they converted the basement into a little jewelry workshop, and from there the three began to do jewelry work throughout the 1950’s and 1960’s for some of the finest jewelry stores in Cincinnati, as well as extending their services to stores from Louisville to Memphis.
After outgrowing the basement on Quebec Road, they moved the shop to a larger, second story office on Casa Loma in Western Hills in 1960, further extending their services to more jewelry stores.
On the final day of his eighth grade year at Our Lady of Victory, in 1965, with thumb extended, Steve caught a ride to Casa Loma and his jewelry career began. He learned the trade of a bench jeweler by working alongside his grandfather, father and uncle, and was soon doing his share of jewelry work for those same fine jewelry stores.
In 1971, after successful years of servicing other jewelry stores, and the idea of selling to the general public grew, Joseph Sr. bought an impressive building at 4969 Glenway Avenue. With this purchase, they were a street level, full retail jewelry store. Now under the store name of Faigle Jewelers they flourished throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s under the guidance of Steve’s father, Joe, and Uncle Gil, with Steve’s role in the business growing more important. In 1984, grandfather and founder Joseph Sr. passed away, leaving the business to the next generation.
In 1987, Joseph Jr. and Gil parted ways but Steve and his father remained in the Glenway building, and was once again renamed Joseph Faigle and Sons Jewelers. With Joseph Sr. eying retirement, the business was handed over to Steve and his two brothers, Dave and Joe Jr. The three saw the business grow into a great success and continued to serve the Western Hills area and beyond. Sadly, 1996 brought the passing of their father, Joseph Faigle Sr. Still, Steve and his brothers carried the business on to even more success. Once again, sadness found them with the passing of their beloved brother, Joe Jr., in 2006. Steve and Dave were the lone two partners now. In its seventieth year, Steve and Dave ended their partnership. With the opening of Steve Faigle Legacy Jewelers, Steve looks to continue and further build onto the legacy created by himself and previous generations of being the finest jewelry store in Western Hills. He invites all from near, far and wide to come to their new store at 3301 Westbourne Avenue, and join him and his wife, Kathy, his daughter, Julie, his son, Matthew, and his cousin, Jeanne, when you need a jewelry repair or a new piece for your collection or just to say hello to old friends.
Our legacy continues…

Surprised the Bombers haven't issued a statement acknowledging the passing of former assistant coach Ellis Rainsberger on July 17th. He was the Bombers OC under Ray Jauch from 1978-82 which coincided with the most successful years that Dieter Brock had as a qb with the Bombers. Under Rainsberger, Brock became a prolific pocket passer able to see the whole field rather than primarily a sprint out left & right quarterback that he was under HC Mike Riley & just concentrating on seeing half the field.
With Rainsberger as his coach over the next 5 seasons, Brock would throw for 19,480 yards. He attempted 2,463 paases & completed 1,460. He threw 126 TD passes & 72 interceptions. The Bombers reached the Western Semi Final in 1978 & 81 as well as the Western Final in 1980 & 82. Under Rainsberger's tutelage, Brock was a CFL Western Division All Star in 1980, 81 & 82 as well CFL All Canadian QB in 1980 & 81. He would also win back to back CFL Most Outstanding Player Awards in 1980 & 81.
After he left the Bombers, Rainsberger became an assistant coach with the Denver Gold in 1983 & then Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Maulers both of the USFL. He returned to the CFL in 1986 to the end of the 1988 season where he coached the OL with the Toronto Argonauts. He retired following the 2007 season after 3 years with the Miami Dolphins as a scout. Rainsberger was 88 years of age.
RIP Ellis Rainsberger. Those years you spent coaching Dieter Brock was magical.


The U.S. Government Printing Office's 150th Anniversary History Exhibit may be small but it has a few tricks up it's sleeve. I recommend stopping by if you are in the area of Union Station because it's only a block or two away and can be a quick tour if you don't have a lot of time.
Once inside you'll find yourself surrounded by all kinds of historical documents. I can see how the Government Printing Office would be overlooked by most people. In fact, I initially considered them as just a giant
Kinko's FedEx Office.
This post is going to be very short so enjoy the photos and go have a look for yourself.
My favorite part of the exhibit was the original printed copy of the preliminary version of the Emancipation Proclamation. Very cool to see up close.
Distance from office: 0.1 miles
Door to door time: 5 minutes
Tour time: 50 minutes
Transportation used: Walked
- Metal detectors (allot a few extra minutes) so leave your knife at home.
- They've crammed a lot of history into such a small exhibit. It's worth going back to read all of the details.
But wait, there's more...

The Lamborghini story started in the Second World War. The founder of the company, Ferruccio Lamborghini, did not want to be sent to the front. So he managed to destroy all the tank operation manuals. He had memorized all the information so that he would be able to do the maintenance on them. Of course, he was then practically the only one (or almost the only one) who was capable of efficiently repairing the vehicles and he spent the entire war in a garage and not on the front lines!
