THE STARTING POINT
Marius Michel, Count Michel de Pierredon is a foam born in Sanary became director of the lighthouses and beacons of the Ottoman Empire. After obtaining the concession of the quays, docks and warehouses of the commercial port of Istanbul he acquires the honorary title of “Pacha of the Ottoman Empire”, that is why he is better known under the name of Michel Pacha.
He became mayor of Sanary in 1865 where he built his residence in 1872 and wanted to turn the district into a seaside resort.
In 1879, he settled in Tamaris in order to create a popular seaside resort, tinged with orientalism.
He gradually acquired 80 hectares of land to realize his dream. For 10 years, he developed the parks of Sablettes and Tamaris. “The Builder” was born.
He built the first casino, which functioned from 1887.
With the opening of the Grand Hotel, the following year, the success of the district is achieved. In 1895, a second casino was built in Tamaris.


NOTE: this was written for my University of Michigan freshman biology class; at the time, I did research in the OLD Graduate Library, and dusted off the old books from the 1890’s. There was no internet for research. Regarding objections to Evolution, I had no idea at the time that creationism, for example, would be resurrected decades later as a “real” concept. When I wrote this 48 years ago, there were not many objections to Darwin.

Prehistoric Tartar Reveals Untold History About Teeth
In one of the most fascinating research findings in dental archaeology to date, a team of scientists have revealed dietary and environmental findings from prehistoric teeth discovered in the Qesem Cave near Tel Aviv.
How old might qualify as prehistoric? This team, led by Professor Karen Hardy, were able to extract genetic evidence from the hardened dental tartar, or calculus, of 400,000 year old teeth. Prior to this astounding discovery, some of the oldest dental calculus ever studied was 40,000-50,000 years old.
The team was able to isolate small traces of essential fatty acids, which indicates the earliest possibility of a diet that included nuts or seeds. Additionally, they discovered plant fibers which may have been used to clean teeth, almost like prehistoric floss or toothpicks. These two findings absolutely revolutionize the dietary, hunting and gathering practice knowledge that archaeologists can now apply.
But perhaps the most relevant connection this research has to modern times is that it may have discovered the oldest evidence of manmade pollution. Locked away for nearly a half million years in hardened plaque was traces of charcoal, possibly from inhalation of smoke from indoor fires used to roast meat. One of the researchers, Professor Barkai, noted that all “progress has a price…and we find possibly the first evidence of this at Qesem Cave 400,000 years ago.”
All of this archaeological perspective, carried on the surface of a tooth.

The Cafe Racer leather jacket design that became mainstream in the 1960’s was developed in England. As soldiers were returning home after WWII they caught the bug of souping up older, prewar motorbikes. These motorcycles were raced between local pubs and cafes which created the need for a streamlined, minimalist leather racing jacket. Traveling at times in excess of 100 MPH was a fairly dangerous proposition on the roads that were more like trails at the time. Heavy horsehide and of course a strong main zipper added a certain level of protection for these speed happy daredevils. One would imagine there were wagers made and records set during these early cafe racing days.

My favorite family story is about a spinning wheel that is kept in our dining room. Rather odd place for a spinning wheel, but the history behind it is quite wonderful. My great great (great?) aunt on my father's side lived on the border between Kansas and Missouri during the civil war, much like my family does now. If you are unfamiliar with the time period, I'll give you a (very) brief history.
Missouri proclaimed themselves to be a slave state while Kansas sided with the Union as free state. This caused what is known as the border wars, where people from both sides would terrorize, steal, rape and destroy neighboring cities. Both sides were brutal, with Jayhawkers and Bushwhackers both harming and killing innocent people.The word Jayhawker came from a mythical bird that cannot be caught. At first, the term was applied to both the pro-slavery and abolitionist rebel bands. But, before long it stuck to the anti-slavery side only. Those that favored the Confederacy soon earned the name of Bushwhackers, because they primarily lived in the "bush," or country, and their legs "whacked" the bushes as they rode. Both sides would eventually include semi-legitimate soldiers, and even grudgingly acknowledged by the Union and Confederate forces. However, other members of these two groups were simply bandits who had a quasi-military excuse for ambush, robbery, murder, arson and plunder.
~ Legends of America
This was the era of William Quantrill
, whose band of outlaws and marauders grew to over one hundred by 1862. That is the same year that he and his followers attacked several different cities in Kansas, burning and destroying homes and businesses, and attacking men who got in their way.
When Quantrill rode into my great aunt's town many homes were destroyed, along with anything in them. Family legend has it that, for whatever reason, my great aunt did not leave her home even as many of the local men hid from the attackers. When Quantrill came to her home, he told her that she could take two things out before it was burned to the ground. She took her spinning wheel and bed linens, and considered him to be a true gentleman for his actions.
Whether this story is true or not, we will never know. Nearly 150 years have passed since that time, and many generations have come and gone. Yet because of one story from one woman's history, the spinning wheel remains in our family to this day.


Story of Schulamith Khalef, nee Sylvia Wagenberg
Notes written by Regina St. for her sick friend Summer 2003
My name is Schulamith Khalef, born in 1928 as Sylvia Wagenberg in Dessau. In either 1934 or 35 my mother Lia (Lea) moved to Berlin with me and my sister Carla. My father, who was divorced from my mother, emigrated to Palestine. Two years later my mother enrolled us in the Jewish children’s home/school in Caputh. Gertrud Feiertag, a pioneer in modern learning, was in charge of the home. She was my guardian until 1943. She died in the gas chambers in Auschwitz. I was the last person with whom she was able to exchange a few words. At that time she was already gravely ill.
On 9th November 1938, the so-called Kristallnacht, the four or five houses which made up the children’s home were destroyed by people from Caputh and Potsdam. They used stones, axes and other objects. I can still remember the grand piano floating on the Havel. The Beth Einstein which belonged to Albert Einstein was also badly damaged. This was a primitive act committed out of blind hatred, which I can’t explain and for which there are no words. We children and the adults were shocked to our depths, were then threatened and hunted out of the house.
I then fled to my mother who was in Berlin and arrived in the middle of the night. Quite alone I ran from the Kurfürstendamm to Fasanen Street, where my mother lived. I was terrified. I was, after all, only ten years old. The synagogues were burning and all the Jewish shops were damaged and their windows shattered. On the streets lay the contents of the shops. It was a free for all. Crowds of people rushed into the shops and looted them. Jewish people were attacked and beaten up. Religious men had their beards pulled and were mocked. It was a dreadful sight, especially for a ten year old child running helplessly through the streets. Unfortunately, my mother wasn’t at home, so I sat on the steps of the building until she came. The first thing my mother had to do was to buy me clothes, because I had left empty-handed when they chased us out of Caputh.
I can still remember today that my mother bought me a pretty dark blue taffeta dress with a white collar with hand-made embroidery. It was beautiful and I was delighted with it. How a child could be happy in that crazy time with just a dress! My sister Carla and I stayed with my mother until the beginning of 1939. Then she took us to the Jewish children’s home at 92 Fehrbelliner Street. I attended the Jewish school in Choriner Street.
Fräulein Bamberger, who ran the home, welcomed us. Unfortunately my sister Carla soon left because she went to Neuendorf to get agricultural training in preparation to her emigration to Palestine. The Jewish children’s home in the Fehrbelliner Street was, at that time, run according to Jewish tradition and followed Jewish rules. It was completely different to that in Caputh. These two homes cannot be compared. Caputh lay outside the town in a beautiful natural setting. The home in the Fehrbelliner Street lay in the city centre and in 1939 the war had already broken out. The consequences of the anti-Semitism, and the laws that followed became more merciless. I stayed in the Fehrbelliner Street from 1939 until it was closed down in summer 1942. At the beginning my big sister was with me, but when she went to Neuendorf I felt very lonely indeed, because my parents were also not in Berlin.
In the children’s home the helpers mothered us in the deepest sense of the word. It wasn’t an orphanage, but a children’s home with about 45 to 50 children. In one room I slept with seven girls who were all about the same age. It was quite a big room. We all had a bed and a bedside table. Luckily my bed was near the window, so I could read late at night by the moonlight. Here we also played our favourite family-game of mother, father, brothers and sisters. I can remember the sisters Erika and Meta Haitner, the sisters Ruth and Thea Fuss and the twins Ruth and Regina Anders, who we called Anders dolls. I remember the sweet twins Ernst and Herbert Czerniak.
All of the these children died in Auschwitz. I can’t remember the names of any of the other children. They were different ages and not in my class. I was also the only child who Fräulein Bamberger sent from the Volkschule to the Jewish Mittelschule. It happened like this: Mrs. Bamberger called me into her office. Of course I was really scared because I didn’t know what I had done. You weren’t invited into her office every day. To my great but pleasant surprise she explained to me that I was to be sent to the Mittelschule. Beforehand I had to take four different exams. The school was in the Grosse Hamburger Strasse and was later a deportation center. It was from there that I was later sent to Auschwitz. As I have said, I learnt a lot in the Mittelschule, was very happy there and felt fine. We learned interesting things, for example different languages, all at the highest level. I had lots of good friends there, all were my age. There were 55 children in one class. My best friend was Ruth Knebel. She had a fat black plait. She and the other children collected clothes for me so that I had something to wear. All the children were friends and had befriended me as well. Most of them had at least one parent, whereas I was completely alone. Later almost all of them were killed. Ruth Knebel was one of the first to be taken away, the others later. I don’t know what happened to the rest of the children. Their sad, inhuman fate remains a deep chasm in my life to this day.
Our teacher was an excellent academic. We liked her a lot and respected her. Our history teacher was a good teacher but he had a small stutter when he spoke and we laughed at him. We had to learn a hundred dates from him, which luckily I found quite easy to do. The second teacher, who is unforgettable to me was Herr Loewy whom we called Stifte (pencil) because he was such a tiny man. He taught us bible studies but his real speciality was music. He was a fantastic music teacher. From him I learned the notes and how to play the flute. That saved my life in Auschwitz but unfortunately not his. I played in the girl’s choir/orchestra in Auschwitz with his niece Ester Krümel(crumb).
A big problem for me was walking to and from the children’s home. In the street I was attacked, mocked and beaten. It was traumatic for me. I felt threatened for two reasons. I always had to walk alone, without other school friends, and I had black eyes and black hair. I looked like the Nazi stereotype of a Jewess. When we later had to wear the Star of David, all Jewish children were threatened because we then all recognisable.
In the children’s home, Shabbat and the Jewish holidays were always a wonderful experience. We went to the synagogue in the Oranienburger Street, sang there in the choir and were accompanied by the wonderful organ. I remember Cantor Rosenthal; because I sang Alto, I sang with the boys. All the children in the home loved Friday evenings. We children scrubbed the dining room. Tables and benches were covered with white table-cloths, to make everything look festive. The Shabbat candlesticks were cleaned and white candles were put in. We all washed and put on our Shabbat clothing.
Everything was very festive. We all sat round a large orange table, which was made up of lots of small tables. Because there were no boys, every Friday evening, a different girl made the Kiddush with bread and wine and the candles were lit. There was good bread, better than during the week. Then we sang Schier Hamalot and said grace in Hebrew. After the meal the tables were cleared and several children played games with Fräulein Lewin. Because I loved these games I always sat with Fräulein Lewin. The other children sat with Fräulein Guttmann, who read to them out of books. It was a beautifully calm environment.
I can remember a few people, mostly Fräulein Bamberger who ran the home. She was a strict, good person who carried out her academic and administrative responsabilities very well. Then there was also Fräulein Guttmann, the head teacher and Fräulein Lewin. Both were our teachers. Their academic knowledge, their motherly love helped us. We all loved them and they us. There was also Fräulein Ganz and Fräulein Gutermann, who looked after the infants. We needed lots of love and attention. When I think back I realise that this was a very difficult task since all the children had had traumatic experiences and had lost their beloved parents. They also didn’t know what was yet to come, thank G-d. For all of them, the end of their lives was appalling.
Because I walked from school to the children’s home late in the afternoon, I had more friends in school and I was also a little bit older than most children in the home. I can remember three experiences in the home connected with my health.
1. Because I often suffered from tonsilitis, the doctor decided my tonsils had to be taken out, so I sat on Fräulein Guttmann’s lap during the operation. As I then however started to bleed very badly, they had to stop operating, so I was left with one tonsil. 2.The second experience was when another girl ran into me. That was in the wash room and by chance I had a hairclip in my mouth, which cut my throat, but I also fell onto the washbasin and hurt my chin which bled profusely. In order to stitch the wounds they took me to the Jewish hospital in the Iranische Street. 3.The third very serious illness was scarlet fever. I had to stay in quarantine for three weeks and could not come into contact with other children. Of course I felt very lonely and isolated. What was amazing was, that I got better.
I went to the school and lived in the children’s home until 1942 when both were closed, and with that we lost an oasis of happiness. I went to my guardian Gertrud Feiertag. At the time she worked for the Jewish organisation in the Oranienburger Street.
I also had to work there since all Jewish children had to do forced labour from the age of twelve. My job was sorting out deportation letters to Jewish families. Because of that I got the special privilege of being allowed to travel by tram or underground, which at that time was prohibited to Jews. As a thirteen year old girl I knew exactly what it meant to the poor people to have to go on the transports.
My sister Carla and her entire youth group who had gone to the agricultural school in Neuendorf to get ready for the trip to Palestine had their plans disrupted and were deported to Auschwitz on 19th April 1943 (a day before Hitler’s birthday). And I went with them. We were completely unprepared for what we found.
Aunt Trude Feiertag and all the others from the Jewish organisation, from the Jewish home and so on were deported to Theresienstadt and from there to Auschwitz. Aunt Trude told me that in Auschwitz, before she was sent to the gas chamber.
When we arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau and got down from the train we heard the shout of the SS who were standing there with dogs and shouted loudly ‘quickly, quickly!’ We didn’t know in what kind of a hell we had landed, but we learnt it quickly enough. Their shouting meant the first selection and separated men and women. Our group was made up of young people and so we stayed together, the group of young women. We came to Birkenau, one of the biggest camps in Auschwitz, where the crematoriums stood and where the exterminations took place. Any personal belongings which we had with us we had to leave at the station. We were left with only the clothes on our bodies, and these, too, they took away from us later. At the same time we also got a number tattooed on our arm. It was done alphabetically. Morning and evening we had a roll-call in front of the shed we slept in, which sometimes lasted for hours. People were sent to different places of work, among others, to a munitions factory.
In the youth group there was a young girl called Hilde Grünbaum with whom I got very friendly. She was five years older than me and had also gone to the Jewish Mittelschule in Grosse Hamburger Strasse. We had both had the same music teacher Herr Loewy. Hilde helped me and my sister Carla and other girls from the group to get into the girl’s orchestra of Auschwitz. My sister and I played the flute. Our conductress was Alma Rose, who was a niece of the composer Gustav Mahler. She was an outstanding musician. When she took over the orchestra, she lifted the musical level. All the members of the orchestra played on three-piece wooden instruments.
Alma procured scores from the orchestra in the men’s camp. Our ensemble was completely eclectic. There were guitars, mandolins and flutes all playing together. It was unbelievable that we could play Brahms, Monti, Sarasate, Strauss, Calman, Lehar and arias from Madame Butterfly by Puccini and Rigoletto by Verdi and also opperetta arias in Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Luckily, we had Esther Loewy, in our orchestra. She could play the accordion, was very musical and had a good voice. She sang songs by Schubert and also well known folk songs. We also got other girls for our choir. We played when people went to work in the morning and returned. However, many awful things happened. I’d like to write about one of them.
We had to walk in a quick march. When an SS woman noticed that a young girl wasn’t keeping time she ordered her dog to attack the poor girl. The huge dog tore her to pieces. I have never been able to forget this dreadful sight for the rest of my life.
One by one, all the members of the orchestra suffered from typhoid, including me. We had to go to isolation, but because we were members of the orchestra we were saved from selection. Our block was opposite the crematorium and we saw the smoke day and night. When the Hungarian transports arrived in the summer of 1944, most people were sent straight away to the crematorium. These did not have the capacity to burn so many bodies. So the people were thrown into graves nearby and burnt there. The dreadful smell and sight of burning corpses has haunted me my whole life.
From the morning to the evening we were in the orchestra block and we practiced. These hours gave us a short respite from the awful things which were going on around us. One member of the orchestra called Arila could no longer stand the situation in Birkenau. She threw herself against the electric fence and died there.
One day, Alma Rose got sick and died shortly afterwards from an unknown illness.
After her death a Russian woman called Sonja took over the orchestra. She insisted that the Jewish members of the orchestra leave at once although they played better than the others. We got the order to wash ourselves and to collect our possessions. On 1st November 1944 we were put onto cattle vans and reached Bergen-Belsen a few days later.
They took us to sheds and we stayed in quarantine without any kind of care. The sanitary conditions were catastrophic. The water in the so-called washroom was ice-cold. It was winter. There was just one shower. People pushed against each other to get to the washroom, and in these conditions it was impossible to keep clean. We occupied ourselves with intelligent games to keep our morale and spirits up. After a few weeks, a factory to weave nylon thread was set up outside the camp. At the beginning we didn’t know for what reason. Later we learned that it was to be used for the military.
Bergen-Belsen was really not a death camp, but the sanitary conditions were very bad and led to typhoid epidemics, diarrhoea and people died like flies. Because we worked, the conditions were a bit better for us. The women from the orchestra stood together and supported each other. Because of this we didn’t lose heart and strengthened our morale. I slept, head to toe, with Hilde Grünbaum in one bed. Hilde cared for me and also another girl called Ilse. We were both the youngest in the group.
On 15th April 1945, Bergen-Belsen was liberated by the English. A large tank drove through the camp and announced our liberation. We had hoped that this day would come, but never believed that we would live to experience it. When we counted the number of survivors, we realised that many had not lived to see this day. In spite of all our care, we hadn’t managed to save everybody. Also, even on the day of liberation and for days after, many, many people died.
An English army doctor set up a hospital at once. All the sick people who could not be treated there were sent to Sweden. Huge piles of corpses had to be buried as quickly as possible. You could smell them throughout the camp. The former camp commander Kramer and an SS woman Grese and lots of other SS personell were made to help with the burial of the victims while the English army rabbi said Kaddish.
When we felt stronger we tried to find our former friends from the youth group who had been liberated in different places. We came together in Gehringshof and founded the ‘Buchenwald Kibbutz.’ We had the vision of going to Palestine. At first we accompanied by the Jewish brigade (from Palestine) to Antwerp. Then to a small harbour in southern France. From there we travelled on a tiny freighter to Haifa. There the freighter was impounded by the English and we were taken to a camp in Alit. After some time we were allowed to leave the camp and travelled on to our goal- the kibbutz of Buchenwald - today ‘Kibbuz Afikim’- in the Jordan valley.
Mrs. Khalef died shortly after dictating her story in Tel Aviv.

Our trip to Gunung Kawi temple.
Gunung Kawi is an 11th century funerary and temple complex, one of the most unique archeological sites in Bali. It is spread across two sides of the Pakerisan River and comprises a collection of ancient shrine reliefs carved into the face of a rock cliff. These funeral monuments are believed to be dedicated to Anak Wungsu of Udayana dynasty and his queens.
On the east side there are five temples that are dedicated, according to one theory, to King Udayana, his queen Mahendradatta and their sons Airlanga, Anak Wungsu, and Marakata. The temples on the west side are dedicated, according to the same theory, to the king’s minor queens or concubines.

The female voice of Uyghur muqam and folk songs
Ayshemgul Memet, vocals
Shohrat Tursun, tambur
Ilyar Ayup, percussion
catalog number 21067
Being one of the oldest cultures of Central Asia, Uyghur music has its special place among the Turkic nations of the mysterious Silk Road. Muqams, folksongs, religious songs are transmitted orally from generation to generation and have influenced (as well having been influenced by) different cultures around the area.
The Uyghurs are a Turkic ethnic group who live in North-Western China, in the region of Xinjiang which means 'New Territory' in Chinese. The Uyghurs are Muslims (Sunnites) but Shamanism, Buddhism and Manichaeism has had a marked influence on their culture. Belonging to Central Asia (although always forgotten to be mentioned as a part of Central Asia), Uyghurs share similar linguistic and cultural heritages with other Turkic nations such as Uzbeks, Kazakh and Kyrgyz.
Xinjiang is a mountainous and barren area with oases full of life. The old Silk Road attracted thousands of adventurers and tradesmen. Many traditional songs have swayed along the endless sandy tracks on journeys.
Music is an important part of Uyghur culture and Uyghur identity. From very early times Uyghur music has been mentioned in Chinese historical sources as a highly developed art. Uyghur music from the far west was considered by Chinese royal ensembles to be the most inspiring. Some musical instruments even traveled to the Tang dynasty and have been adopted in Chinese music. After its islamization, Uyghur music adopted the great tradition of Muqam (Maqâm, Mugham) and created a powerful musical heritage.
“I was 13 years old when I heard a Muqam for the first time. It was a short fragment from muqam Panjigah. The beauty of this music magnetized me. I knew that muqam was my destiny.” Ayshemgul Memet


LGBT World History
A Chronology from 27c BCE to 21c CE
This is a chronology of people, events and culture of interest to LGBT people. It is not a history in itself nor is it a fully comprehensive list of everyone and everything of LGBT interest in the history of the world. It has been compiled with the aim of helping LGBT people realise that their sexual orientation and gender identity is neither new nor unusual. The chronology makes clear that LGBT people have been part of humankind since the beginning of recorded history and that many of them have made huge contributions to human civilisations. Above all, it is meant as a tool to provide students of LGBT history with a launching pad from which to explore and understand the vast depth and complexity of the past of what Christopher Isherwood happily labelled ‘our tribe.’

Interesting look back at Life Magazine’s feature on a working wife and mother.
In 1956, 16% of women with children under 6 worked outside the home. Twenty-seven-year-old Jennie Magill of Hammond, Ind., was one of them. When LIFE Magazine published a special double issue on “The American Woman: Her Achievements and Her Troubles,” the editors selected Magill for its cover. Smiling lovingly at her child, who smiles adoringly back, Magill was introduced to America as the face of that rare specimen, the “Working Mother.”
For historical context, this was seven years before the Equal Pay Act prohibited sex-based wage discrimination and The Feminine Mystique exposed the plight of the joyless housewife. It was more than a decade before the Equal Rights Amendment was proposed and half a century before many Americans began to observe Equal Pay Day, which takes place this year on April 14, representing how far into the year women would have to work to earn the equivalent of…

Liu Jianhua’s primary working materials are porcelain, artifacts, and waste products imported from foreign countries; he is drawn to these materials because of their cultural implications and material history. Liu worked at the Jingdezhen Pottery and Porcelain Sculpture Factory before formally studying sculpture—experiences that heavily influenced his earlier, more autobiographical small-scale sculptural works. Works from this time also featured found objects referencing specific periods of Chinese history. His later works take on global economic and social issues, particularly the wasteful by-products of manufacturing hubs and advanced consumer cultures. His 2006 installation Yiwu Investigation was the first of several featuring an overwhelming amount of detritus from an industrial center.


Smith Island is the last inhabited island off the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. A little over 200 people live in the island once known as a bustling fishing community.

Welcome to The Crooked Billet
The Crooked Billet is situated halfway along Sheepridge Lane (a turning off the A4155 at Little Marlow). It was originally built in the 16th century as two cottages, then changed in 1850 to a simple Cider house.
At this time the Old Smithy was still in use and many a good tale was told in the cosy bar whilst the horses were being
shod. (You could at that time sit down and have your hair cut as well).
Amongst the many folk who used this old house was one Edgar Wallace, the mystery writer who is buried in the local cemetery.
Other folk who dealt in crime were not so lucky. A highwayman who terrorised the area was hanged from a nearby oak tree - and event which he was not happy about. His ghost is reputed to walk about from time to time. Thoughts of ghosts soon vanish in the pleasant bar with its old ships beams and pretty brick fireplaces, where local farmers, residents of the small Hamlet, businessmen and surrounding villagers make up the customers.
In the summer, the prize-winning garden is the ideal place for a lunch-time or evening drink, whilst in wintertime the open fires provide a warm comfortable atmosphere.

The history of cosmetics spans at least 6000 years and is present in almost every society on earth. Some argue that cosmetic body art was the earliest form of ritual in human culture, dating over 100,000 years ago from the African Middle Stone Age. The evidence for this comes in the form of utilised red mineral pigments (red ochre) including crayons associated with the emergence of Homo sapiens in Africa.
Archaeological evidence of cosmetics certainly dates from ancient Egypt and Greece. According to one source, early major developments include the use of castor oil in ancient Egypt as a protective balm and skin creams made of beeswax, olive oil, and rosewater described by the Romans. The Ancient Greeks also used cosmetics.Cosmetics are mentioned in the Old Testament—2 Kings 9:30 where Jezebel painted her eyelids—approximately 840 BC—and the book of Esther describes various beauty treatments as well. Cosmetics were also used in ancient Rome, although much of Roman literature suggests that it was frowned upon. It is known that some women in ancient Rome invented make up including lead-based formulas, to whiten the skin, and kohl was used to line the eyes
Across the globe
The use of cosmetics in Ancient Egypt is well documented. Kohl and lacewing flies have their roots in north Africa. Remedies to treat wrinkles containing ingredients such as gum of frankincense and fresh moringa. For scars and burns, a special ointment was made of red ochre, kohl, and sycamore juice. An alternative treatment was a poultice of carob grounds and honey, or an ointment made of knotgrass and powdered root of wormwood. To improve breath the ancient Africans chewed herbs, frankincense, or licorice root stick, which is still in use today. Jars of what could be compared with setting lotion have been found to contain a mixture of beeswax and resin. These doubled as remedies for problems such as baldness and greying hair. They also used these products on their mummies, because they believed that it would make them irresistible in the after life.
Cosmetics were used in Persia and what is today the Middle East from ancient periods. Kohl is a black powder that is used widely across the Arab world. It is used as a powder or smeared to darken the edges of the eyelids similar to eyeliner.After Arab tribes converted to Islam and conquered those areas, in some areas cosmetics were only restricted if they were to disguise the real look in order to mislead or cause uncontrolled desire. In Islamic law, despite these requirements, there is no absolute prohibition on wearing cosmetics; the cosmetics must not be made of substances that harm one’s body.
An early teacher in the 10th century was Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi, or Abulcasis, who wrote the 24-volume medical encyclopedia Al-Tasrif. A chapter of the 19th volume was dedicated to cosmetics. As the treatise was translated into Latin, the cosmetic chapter was used in the West. Al-Zahrawi considered cosmetics a branch of medicine, which he called “Medicine of Beauty” (Adwiyat al-Zinah). He deals with perfumes, scented aromatics and incense. There were perfumed sticks rolled and pressed in special molds, perhaps the earliest antecedents of present-day lipsticks and solid deodorants. He also used oily substances called Adhan for medication and beautification.
Chinese people began to stain their fingernails with gum arabic, gelatin, beeswax and egg white from around 3000 BCE. The colors used represented social class: Chou dynasty (first millennium BC) royals wore gold and silver; later royals wore black or red. The lower classes were forbidden to wear bright colors on their nails.

Flowers play an important decorative role in China. Legend has it that once on the 7th day of the 1st lunar month, while Princess Shouyang (壽陽公主), daughter of Emperor Wu of Liu Song (劉宋武帝), was resting under the eaves of Hanzhang Palace near the plum trees after wandering in the gardens, a plum blossom drifted down onto her fair face, leaving a floral imprint on her forehead that enhanced her beauty further. The court ladies were said to be so impressed, that they started decorating their own foreheads with a small delicate plum blossom design. This is also the mythical origin of the floral fashion, meihua zhuang (梅花妝; literally “plum blossom makeup”), that originated in the Southern Dynasties (420–589) and became popular amongst ladies in the Tang (618–907) and Song (960–1279) dynasties.
In Japan, geisha wore lipstick made of crushed safflower petals to paint the eyebrows and edges of the eyes as well as the lips, and sticks of bintsuke wax, a softer version of the sumo wrestlers’ hair wax, were used by geisha as a makeup base.Rice powder colors the face and back; rouge contours the eye socket and defines the nose.Ohaguro (black paint) colours the teeth for the ceremony, called Erikae, when maiko (apprentice geisha) graduate and become independent.The geisha would also sometimes use bird droppings to compile a lighter color.
In the Middle Ages it was thought sinful and immoral to wear makeup by Church leaders, but many women still did so. From the Renaissance up until the 20th century the lower classes had to work outside, in agricultural jobs and the typically light-colored European’s skin was darkened by exposure to the sun. The higher a person was in status, the more leisure time he or she had to spend indoors, which kept their skin pale. Thus, the highest class of European society were pale resulting in European men and mostly women attempting to lighten their skin directly, or using white powder on their skin to look more aristocratic. A variety of products were used, including white lead paint which also may have contained arsenic, which also poisoned women and killed many.Queen Elizabeth I of England was one well-known user of white lead, with which she created a look known as “the Mask of Youth”. Portraits of the queen by Nicholas Hilliard from later in her reign are illustrative of her influential style.
Pale faces were a trend during the European Middle Ages. In the 16th century, women would bleed themselves to achieve pale skin. Spanish prostitutes wore pink makeup to contract pale skin. 13th century Italian women wore red lipstick to show that they were upperclass.
The Americas and Australia
Some Indian American tribes painted their faces for ceremonial events or battle. Similar practices were followed by Aboriginals in Australia.


BASSETT HALL was the home of John D. Rockefeller, jr, when in Williamsburg (the guy had a bunch of bigger houses elsewhere). Mr. Rockefeller restored the hamlet of Williamsburg making it Colonial Williamsburg over a period of more than 30 years and at a personal cost to him of $68-million. The house is open only three days a week these days. We have come to visit it on the last day of the year before setting out for the evening celebation, “First Night” all across Williamsburg. First Night is a series of music and food venues pretty much everywhere. It is so spread out they run free bus routes around town.
Carol Anne stands at the rear of the house which is only steps from the Capitol building and the Williamsburg Inn. Carol Anne’s father graduated from Harvard in 1936 with John D. Rockefeller’s son, David, who, at age 101, recently returned to visit Bassett Hall.
It will always be 1948 at Bassett Hall because Mrs. Rockefeller died in April that year. Because she treasured their home and time in Williamsburg it has been preserved as she would have left it. The Christmas tree in the dining room at Bassett Hall has aluminum tinsel and if you had a Christmas tree in 1948 — and I remember ours in Kirkwood, Missouri, well from that year — this tree should look very familiar, the docent said. And it does. Some years we had a top of the tree as on this tree, and other years we had an angel, but the angel wore out, as I recall. Colonial Williamsburg has to take each strand of aluminum tinsel off and re-card it each year because it is no longer manufactured. We did the same because we were cheap. My father would decorate our trees with the tinsel by standing across the room and inviting his four children to heave the tinsel at the tree. My mother sternly disapproved but he, and we, did it anyway. Aluminum tinsel, by the way, was not easy to throw — there was an art to it.

The Traveler’s Insurance Currier and Ives calendar hangs in the kitchen. These calendars were so popular people saved them and later framed the pictures. I have a large collection of them that I bought years ago and they are … somewhere around … somewhere. I laugh — but as Christmases go for me as a kid, the Christmas 1948 ranks as the most disastrous Christmas of my life, although in 1949 when at the age of 6, I got really unhappy, Santa (my mother) came and took most of my presents back. OMG. What was this woman thinking of.


WELCOME TO THE
In the heart of old-town Altamura, there is a place where time has stopped, where you can follow the tale of the story of our wine even before tasting it.
In the halls of a sixteenth-century Apulian cellar we find old tools and instruments for the production of wine. They are original objects from back in the day, witnesses of ancient traditions and work methods of an agricultural civilisation. They are brought back to life thanks to a careful restoration process which has seen us involved hands-on, and which has enabled us to put up an authentic Wine Museum.
Cantina Frrud comes from an idea born in 2017 from our passion for our land, and from the desire to shine new light on its hidden treasures. We have salvaged a place from the past – a past we love passionately. After two years of intense, meticulous work, our ambitious project led us do reopen the doors of those halls which saw the succession of generations of families. Visiting Cantina Frrud’s Wine Museum is like travelling back in time through centuries of history, where wine is a constant feature, and where knowledge of the past combines with the immersive experience in present-day flavours through a

The town's history
Enghien-les-Bains came into being in 1850 by an act of law. It takes its name from the city of Enghien, near Mons, in Belgium.
In 1689, the Prince of Condé, who was feudal lord of the lands of Montmorency and also the feudal lord of Enghien-en-Hainaut, was granted permission by the King to change the name of the duchy of Montmorency to the duchy of Enghien and the new Pond of Montmorency became the Pond of Enghien. A few years after the Revolution, Montmorency recovered its original name, but the pond retained the name of Enghien and, therefore, when a hamlet was built on this site, quite naturally, it was given the name the Hamlet of Enghien.
In 1766, a priest from the Oratory of Montmorency, Abbot Louis Cotte, discovered the first sulphurous spring close to the pond and the first thermal spa was built in 1820. Jean-Baptiste Peligot, the administrator of Saint-Louis Hospital, purchased the spa and redesigned the pond which became a lake. The town adopted the motto: “Dant robur virtutemque fonts” (“These springs which give strength and courage”). In 1823, the waters of Enghien-les-Bains were given to King Louis XVIII and cured him of an ulcer on the leg. News quickly spread and the reputation of the newly founded spa resort was made.
The hamlet soon became a fashionable destination where well-to-do Parisians liked to be seen and Enghien-les-Bains became a centre for medicinal treatment and entertainment. In 1846, the northern railway line reached the town and a growing number of Parisians came to visit the shores of the lake, take the waters and seek entertainment.
On 7 August 1850, the National Assembly voted the creation of a new commune which would take the name of Enghien-les-Bains. In 1863, the old spas were replaced by a new and vast treatment centre which was one of the most modern in Europe. The town’s development continued during the Second Empire and a festive atmosphere reigned all the year round (concerts, firework displays every week, boating on the lake, etc.).
Many important figures set up home in the luxury residences built on the shores of the lake: the Emperor’s cousin, Princess Mathilde (in Saint-Gratien), the publicist Emile de Girardin, the curator of the Louvre Museum Frédéric Reiset, the artist Ingres, the composer Clairville, etc. Emperor Napoleon III honoured the many magnificent lakeside parties given by his cousin with his presence.
The first games which appeared in Enghien-les-Bains around 1864, held in the Rose Garden (Jardin des Roses), were very tame (spinning tops, skittles and billiards), but, very soon, under the influence of the journalist Hippolyte de Villemessant, the founder of Le Figaro, a Ludo club was created and an initial Kursaal (casino) project was proposed but was never completed. The 1870 war made its presence felt, with the Prussians occupation of the town resulting in some serious damage. In 1875, Jeanne Bourgeois was born at Enghien-les-Bains and was to become famous on stage under the name of Mistinguett.
- The first casino was inaugurated in 1878.
- In 1901, the creation of a spectacular casino was undertaken: the prow of a huge white yacht making its way across the lake, complete with a ballroom, theatre, artificial cave, café, etc. However, the building was replaced in 1909 by the buildings which support the present-day structure. The theatre was rebuilt and included an Italian-style auditorium.
- In 1913, the gaming halls listed two hundred thousand entries. During the First World War, a military hospital was set up in the casino buildings which interrupted its usual activities.
- In 1919, the National Assembly voted a law prohibiting gambling within a 100 km radius of Paris and Enghien-les Bains was severely affected and business went downhill. This law was not relaxed until 1931.
- In 1935, a new spa was built to replace the former one which was now out of date and the new building survived until the start of the 21st century.
- During the Second World War, Enghien-les-Bains served as a billeting station for German regiments passing through and the town was also the seat for a regional Kommandantur. On Liberation, it was the scene of many violent confrontations between the German forces and General Leclerc’s 2nd Armoured Division, supported by the local Resistance group.
- In 1988, the Lucien Barrière Group was granted the concession for the spa and the casino. A few years later, it was given the authorisation to operate fruit machines and the income which these generated permitted the complete restructuring of the gaming rooms and the construction of a new 13,000 m² space devoted to fitness and wellbeing. The Municipality undertook the construction of an Arts Centre, a multi-purpose venue which promotes stage arts, digital arts and plastic arts.
The town developed throughout the 19th century on the basis of an unusual model which was the result of the growth of its spa activity. Two orthogonal and rectilinear transport networks provide its basic outline: the road from Argenteuil to Montmorency, the present-day Rue du Général-de-Gaulle, and the railway line belonging to the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer du Nord, opened in 1846.
Since 2003, the Municipality has committed itself to a process of creating an Architectural, Urban and Landscape Heritage Protection Zone in several districts which offer outstanding architectural features (Napoleon III, Haussmann, eclectic, Art Nouveau styles, etc.).
Enghien-les-Bains has preserved its typical 19th century and Belle Epoque spa resort heritage and, for visitors to the town, many public buildings and townhouses still convey its charm: Neo-gothic castles, Swiss chalets, Normandy-style thatched houses, Neoclassical villas with mansard roofs, Second Empire apartment buildings, Art Nouveau decoration, etc.

Bo doesnt believe Bubba.
During an appearance on Fox and Friends, John Schneider, who played Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard, said he doubts pro golfer Bubba Watson ever lived up to his promise to replace the Confederate battle flag on the authentic General LeeDodge Charger that he owns with a U.S. flag.
Ive heard that he took the flag off, but, honestly, I have no reason to believe that thats true, Schneider said. The actor was promoting his new independent filmChristmas Cars, in which he defends the General Lee against claims that it is an inherentlyracist symbol.
Watson bought the fully restored car at auction in 2012 for 1,000. Its the actual General Lee seen jumping over a police cruiser in the shows opening credits. Designated Lee1 by the production team, it was later repainted and reused in a different role, then sent to a Georgia junkyard where it was rediscovered over 20 years later. Hundreds of stunt cars were used during the shows seven-season run, but Watsons is one of just two known to have survived from the Georgia shoots,before production was moved to California.
A longtime fan of the show, Watson called it his dream car and often drove it in public, but the Confederate flag painted on the roof soon became an issue when NASCAR decided to cancel a scheduled parade lap by him and the car before the Phoenix race that year.
The image of the Confederate flag is not something that should play an official role in our sport as we continue to reach out to new fans and make NASCAR more inclusive, the racing series said.
Obviously, I dont stand for the Confederate flag, Watson said at the time. The Confederate flag was not used (in the show) for what people see it as today, so thats sad. But NASCAR was built on moonshining, so the show was built on moonshining. I thought it was fun. I didnt buy the car to get publicity; I bought it because I love it.
DETROIT SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT EVENT CANCELLED OVER CONFEDERATE FLAG FLAP
Three years later, during the widespread removal of Confederate symbols across the U.S.,Watson tweeted, All men ARE created equal, I believe that so I will be painting the American flag over the roof of the General Lee #USA
The Volo Auto Museum, which owns the only other surviving Georgia General Lee, quickly offered to buy the car from Watson and keep it as-is, but said he never responded to them.
However, Florida-born, University of Georgia graduate Watson never released any images of the updated car or proof that he made the switch, prompting Schneiders doubt.
No, I dont think that he would do that, Schneider said. I certainly have not done that and Im from New York.
CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
While the current value of the car is hard to pin down, classic car experts tell Fox News that, despite the controversy, replacing the flag would likely have a negative impact on what it would be worth if sold today.
Neither Watson nor his representatives have responded to requests for comment about the status of the car from Fox News.

It is with profound sadness that we announce that Yechiel Michael Lehavy, 94, passed away on May 29, 2023 at his residence in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. He lived in Margate, NJ for 50 years with Dalia, his wife and “match made in heaven”, before moving to Pennsylvania to be closer to his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren.
Yechiel was born in Kiel, Germany in 1928 to Yaakov and Toni Feuer. Yechiel witnessed Hitler’s rise to power and shared memories of that time with his family. His family, including sisters Tova and Yaffa, escaped Germany and fled to Israel, which was then Palestine, in 1934. They settled in Kfar Saba, and he lived there until he joined the fighting group called the Palmach in 1945 which fought for Jewish independence against the British Mandate in Palestine. While in the Palmach, Yechiel smuggled Jewish refugees into Palestine over the Syrian mountains and helped establish Ramat HaNegev Kibbutz in 1947. Once Israel was declared a state in 1948, Yechiel served in Israel’s Defense Forces in the Negev Brigade and fought in Israel’s War for Independence and later in the 1956 Sinai Campaign. Yechiel was one of Israel’s creators, and these early experiences transformed him into a strong man with a fighter’s spirit who was always there for his family and the people he cared about.
Yechiel moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania after the 1956 war but always kept Israel, his family, and his fighting spirit at the forefront. Yechiel earned his ABD from the University of Pennsylvania in Anthropology and led excavations as an archaeologist in Cyprus. He then moved to Margate, New Jersey when he began working as a professor at Atlantic Cape Community College where he taught sociology and geography from 1973 until he retired in 2006.
Teaching was not merely a job for Yechiel; it was a calling that permeated every aspect of his life. His enthusiasm for sharing knowledge extended far beyond the classroom. Even in everyday conversations, Yechiel’s answers to simple questions often transformed into lessons, much to the delight of his associates (and sometimes to the dismay of his children when they became very long). His intellectual curiosity was always there, leaving a lasting impression on all those fortunate enough to know him.
Yechiel loved stamp collecting, and he amassed enormous stamp collections reflecting Israel’s history, published articles in Israel philatelic magazines, and researched Jewish genealogical histories using postcards as clues. He enlisted a vast network of relatives and friends around the world to collect stamps for him, including Australia, Israel, Germany, Portugal, Singapore, and the United States.
Yechiel also believed in serving his own community in America. He served as the Union president of his college, was an active member of NJEA, founded the Jewish students association at ACCC, and served on Atlantic County’s culture and heritage society. Upon his retirement, he became an active volunteer serving on the board of the Avoda Scholarship, a member of the Holocaust survivors group at JFCS, and spent his days solving puzzles.
Yechiel’s presence was a source of comfort, support, and guidance to his family and friends. He was always there to help or provide words of wisdom during times of need.Yechiel is survived by his three children Elana, Nadav, and Ophir and six grandchildren Celia, Coby, Juliette, Cale, Ethan (aka Eitan), and Aria who loved him dearly.
Relatives and friends are invited to a Graveside Service, Thursday, June 1, 2023, 10:30am at Beth Kehillah Cemetery, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234
Contributions in his memory may be made to Avoda P.O. Box 3120, Margate, NJ 08402.

Eliza Fenning was a domestic servant who was the most famous wronged woman in England in 1815. She was executed for the attempted murder of her employer and his family on flimsy evidence and many believed she was innocent, especially after her declaration on the scaffold:
‘Before the just and almighty God, and by the faith of the holy sacrament I have taken, I am innocent of the offence with which I am charged.’
Her case became instrumental in the fight for doctors to be better trained in the newly developing science of forensics and also led to the launch of experiments on yeast and arsenic that continue to this day.
Ms Fenning left another legacy behind: when Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein she based the character of the wrongly accused Justine on Eliza.


Phil and I have a special relationship with Hannibal, Missouri that began in June 2011. I’d heard the sleepy river town was a great day-trip location; only 2 hours away, the birth-place of Mark Twain, quaint–our type of place! We arrived, and immediately saw how at-odds with itself Hannibal is. A lot of the town is low-income, and many houses are pretty run-down. At the same time, there are many wealthy families that own (and have restored) the old Victorian mansions that remain downtown from it’s glory days in the 1800s. The town attracts many intelligent people because of it’s history and architecture, so there is a small, but vibrant, art scene. Unfortunately, there is a roughness to some (certainly not all!) of the locals who were simply born in the town, and do not appreciate its background. Main Street is really the only busy, functioning part of the downtown.
On this street, there is the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum, the stairs that lead to the memorial lighthouse, pathways along the riverfront, restaurants, antique shops, the town’s incredible one and only coffee shop, Java Jive, the Hannibal History Museum (more about that later), and more.
If you saw just the Main Street, you’d think Hannibal was pretty hoppin’. But here’s Broadway, the large road perpendicular to Main Street.
When Phil and I visited, we spent a lot of time seeing the attractions on Main Street, went to the Mark Twain Cave, and spur of the moment, took the Haunted Hannibal Ghost Tour. This is where I get back to that Hannibal History Museum! Ken and Lisa Marks are a couple from St. Louis that visited Hannibal a few years ago, and were taken by its history. They moved to the town, started their own free museum, and have written two books since. Pretty intimidating self-starters if you ask me! Haha. They were never into ghost hunting, but after they moved to Hannibal, they began hearing from just about everyone that the town was haunted. Their tour is a blast! Lisa’s a wonderful story-teller, and we got to see a lot of the town and hear its unique history. The tour ended at Old Baptist Cemetery (which is likely the cemetery mentioned in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer), where we were given dousing rods to see if we were attracted to any particular graves. It sounds a little nuts, but I’ve gone on the tour multiple times since, and I’m definitely becoming a believer.
Why have I been on the ghost tour so much, you ask? Well, after the tour was over, Phil and I had a long chat with Ken and Lisa. We really hit it off, and at the time, Phil wanted to start a video project focusing on small towns. He thought Hannibal would be a great start, so we visited a few times since for various events, and Phil did some video work for Ken and Lisa, including filming a couple ghost tours. Now we’re good friends with Ken and Lisa! We certainly didn’t think our little day trip over a year ago would lead to so much. Sometimes places surprise you, and Hannibal was definitely one of those for me and Phil.
Hannibal is DEFINITELY worth a visit (or 4, if you’re us). All in all, the town is just interesting. There is so much history that I’m still learning, even after going there so many times!

There were no hogs or sheep or cattle or horses, and no guns . Missouri Indians, mainly the Illinois, the Missouria (yes, that is the correct spelling) and the Osage, were nomadic, moving from area to area with the crops and the availability of game.
The History of American Indians in Missouri Indians roamed Missouri long before Europeans arrived in the new world. all of those things were brought by the invading Europeans.
Other archaeologists question if the Daviess site has been correctly dated and interpreted. In Missouri, Clovis and Folsom fluted points have been discovered at a variety of sites.
Clovis points were found at the Kimmswick site (Mastodon State Historic Site) associated with mastodons, which were forest-dwelling browsers very distantly related to elephants.


The Palestinian Heritage Museum was founded in 1962 under the name “the Folkloric Heritage Center”, by the late Ms. Hind al-Husseini after she established Dar al-Tifel al-Arabi Association. It became one of the Association’s most important facilities that were established following the Palestinian Nakba in 1948. The goal of the museum was and still is to preserve the Palestinian heritage and display it to the audience as a tool and proof of the Palestinian’s deep roots in this land. It is also a proof of the development and creativity of heritage as a basic component of forming the national identity, and a proof that this land has always been thriving with life, and was never a land without people.
Ms. Hind al-Husseini was the first to begin the collection of the museum’s possessions. She collected heritage utensils from various Palestinian villages and cities since 1948. She felt the importance of preserving the Palestinian heritage from getting lost, fraud or stolen. The first official inauguration of the museum was in 1978, and took place in the ground floor of the current building. A decade later, with the beginning of the first uprising (Intifada), the museum had to shut down for several years. It was later reopened then closed several times for various reasons related to maintenance, restoration and area expansion. Finally, it was reopened in May 2012 under the name “Palestinian Heritage Museum/ Dar al-Tifel al-Arabi Association”. It continues its work under this name to this day.
History of the Museum’s Building
According to the resources related to the building, it is assumed that the late Salim al-Husseini started the construction of al-Dar at the end of the 19th century (1882). The construction of the building began during the time when his son, Musa Kazem al-Husseini, was appointed in a high-level position in the Ottoman government in Istanbul. It was therefore possible for Salim al-Husseini to finance the construction through financial transfers from his son, Musa Kazem Pasha. The cost of construction of the building at the time was around 5000 Ottoman lira.
Furthermore, Salim al-Husseini built a house close to his relative’s house, Rabah Afandi al-Husseini, known today as the “American Colony Hotel”. This building is constructed according to the pattern known as “Bait al-Liwan”, consisting of two original floors, and a third one that was added several decades later to a part of the original house’s area.
It is noteworthy to mention that the late Salim al-Husseini was an influential personality in the political and social life at the end of the 19th century in Jerusalem. He was mayor of Jerusalem from the late 1880s to 1897. He passed away in 1906.
- Keeping, preserving and displaying an abundance of cultural and national heritage, both written and audio-visual, according to the latest scientific methods and technologies.
- Introducing the audience and students to the benefits of their national heritage and raising awareness towards its importance, considering it one of the sources of knowledge and a vibrant element in the formation of national identity.
The Palestinian Heritage Museum owns a valuable and rare collection of heritage tools, Palestinian traditional dresses, silver jewelry, metal, copper, pottery and straw utensils, furniture, etc. The number of heritage pieces exceeds 3000 pieces that tell the story of the Palestinian folkloric heritage.
The importance of the museum collections is not only due to their originality and rarity, but as they also constitute an important source of knowledge for researchers in the Palestinian folkloric heritage. Most of the existent pieces in the collection were accumulated in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, when the Palestinian Folkloric Museum was founded in 1936 during the British mandate of Palestine. It was founded by a group of foreign orientalists living in Palestine, along with prominent Palestinian personalities, including Muslims, Christians and Jews. The pieces were collected over a number of years by purchasing them from their original owners, who had fabricated them for their personal use and not for documentation or imitation. The ownership of the Palestinian Folkloric Museum’s collection was transferred to Dar al-Tifel al-Arabi association in 1969. It was then that the work of the Folkloric Museum was suspended in 1948 with the end of the British mandate. The collection was stored in the Palestinian Archeology Museum (currently known as Rockefeller Museum) during the Jordanian rule. There are several other details about the history of the various collections that can be found in the exhibition room designated for this purpose in the museum.


Sierra Madre’s 124-Year Old Wistaria* Vine
By Phyllis Chapman
In 1894, William and Alice Brugman purchased a home on what was then called Piedmont, which is now called W. Carter Ave. The house had been built one year before by builder Amos Trussell for his daughter Winona and son-in-law Edward B. Jones when they married. It was the first wedding celebrated in early Sierra Madre.
The Trussells and the Jones had a change of plans, sold to the Brugmans and moved away. To enhance her new home, Alice Brugman and her neighbor Mrs. W. B. Crisp, drove by horse and buggy to the R. H. Wilson Pioneer Nursery in Monrovia and for $.75 purchased a gallon can of wistaria. It was the Chinese Wistaria variety (Wisteria sinensis). She planted it in a corner of her front porch remarking to her neighbor: “They say Wistaria grows fast.” And grow it did.
Mr. Brugman, a mining engineer, was in Mexico when the vine was planted. He died in 1899 and Mrs. Brugman sold the home in 1906. The property changed hands until it was purchased in 1913 by Henry T. and Estelle Fennel. Mr. Fennel, who was a bit of a horticulturist, loved the vine, and gave it devoted care, even building support trellises.
Although the Wistaria is a vigorous grower, the added support of the trellises may have contributed to this vine’s phenomenal growth. The arbors prevented the end tendrils from hanging down and causing the tender terminal buds to die from the added weight. Wistaria requires good drainage, certainly provided by this hilly, terraced location. There may also be an underground spring providing water to the tap root.
The vine eventually destroyed the original home, growing into the walls and fireplace and causing the roof to collapse. Mr. Fennel built a new home 200 feet to the north (the present upper home) and trained the vine to grow up to, but not covering the new residence. A portion of the foundation of that original home was saved to continue to provide support for the vine as its branches extended such a distance.
When the vine was in bloom, the Fennels would invite friends to come and enjoy the blossoming plant. Visitors also came from Pasadena’s main hotels: The Green, The Huntington, and The Raymond. In 1918, the Fennels
opened the vine to the Sierra Madre Chapter of the American Red Cross, which sponsored a very successful fundraiser to help the war effort. 12,000 people attended the event. This was the beginning of many Wistaria festivals that took place year after year. Sierra Madre became known as the Wistaria City. Many local organizations, including the Board of Trade (now the Chamber of Commerce), the Woman’s Club, the Masons and Eastern Star, the Sierra Madre Volunteer Fire Dept., etc. were involved.
Many homemade items, fancy work, ceramics, artwork, gift books, and Wistaria fragranced perfume, hand lotion and bath salts were sold at booths under the vine. Luncheons and teas were served, often with young Japanese women wearing their kimonos.
The hard work and money earned at the vine by the Woman’s Club paid off the mortgage of their first clubhouse. One year the Fire Dept. parked 30,000 cars on the parking lot that existed in Floral Canyon. (This is now Sierra Meadow Dr.). Easter sunrise services were among vine activities. People came from all over the world and extra street cars were added to handle the crowds. Among the famous were Fritz Kreisler, Janet Leigh, Mary Pickford, and Norman Rockwell. These two helped select the festival’s Wistaria Queen. Packard Automobile Co. used the vine as a backdrop to advertise its automobile.
On December 5, 1936, Carrie Ida Lawless purchases the vine property from Mrs. Fennel, who was now a widow, for $17,000.00. December 5th was Mrs. Lawless’ birthday, and according to one account, she was making a present to herself of the world’s largest bouquet. Also a widow, her husband William J (Bill) Lawless was mayor of Sierra Madre during 1928-29. She, herself, was a successful businesswoman having founded the Weaver Jackson Beauty Co. in Los Angeles and was active in the community, serving as president of the Woman’s Club and the Garden Club.
Mrs. Lawless spent a small fortune (around $100,000) enhancing the grounds of her new property and caring for the vine. When the festivals were held they often lasted for the weeks the vine was in bloom, not just for one day. Mrs. Lawless, a patron of the arts, also sponsored vine activities all year long.
She hosted art exhibits, musicales, and poetry readings. Nearby residents objected to the constant activity and took their complaints to the City Council. Nothing was done as Mrs. Lawless presented the argument that the vine existed before these neighbors purchased their properties.
In recognition for her contributions to the community, the Garden Club planted another Wistaria in the terraced garden on the west side of what is today the Solt’s garden. It blooms a bit later than the original vine and the plaque commemorating the occasion is gone.
When Mrs. Lawless died in 1942, she provided for the vine by leaving a legacy to her nephew and heir, Bruce McGill, to continue care of the property with a committee headed by the Garden Club President. In 1944, the property was purchased by Richard and Marian Thayer. Marian is the daughter of M. Penn Phillips, a well-known developer of desert property. In 1944 the vine was overgrown and in poor condition. Richard Thayer planned to chop it up and get rid of it. A protest was raised and an association was formed to protect the vine, with money provided to pay property taxes and provide year-round care for the vine.
In 1961, after Richard Thayer died, the lot was split. Marian married builder Ronald Cook who developed the west side of the property with homes and built the present Solt home for he and Marian in1962. The upper home was sold to Joseph and Marie Feeney who raised eight children there. In 1972, Ron and Marian sold the lower home to Bob and Nell Solt. In the late 1990s, Joe Feeney died and Maria sold the property. It was purchased in 2003 by the present owners, Dan and Dana Dorrance.
By the 1970’s Vine Festival activity had about ended. It started up again in the late 70’s when sponsored for one day each year by the Chamber of Commerce. The Sierra Madre Beautification Committee was the yearly sponsor in the 1980’s. Approximately 500-600 people attended the festival each year. In the spring of 1989, Huell Howser came to film the vine for his program Videolog, which aired on KCET. The next year, approximately 6,000 people came to view the vine. The festival organizers were unprepared for such a turnout; lines stretched for two blocks. Howser returned in 1992 to film again for his California Gold program. Sierra Madre and the Chamber of Commerce quickly organized and combined the annual Vine viewing with a downtown street fair. A shuttle bus is provided, and people procure tickets to see the vine at a pre-scheduled time.
The Guinness Book of World Records has named the Vine the World’s largest flowering plant. It is estimated that at the height of bloom it has 1.5 million blossoms with 40 blossoms per sq. ft., weighs 250 tons and has branches that extend 500 feet. Wistaria is a member of the pea family though its seeds resemble a flat bean. Seed pods burst open in the summer. The plant is deciduous, losing its leaves in the winter. Wistaria seeds were brought from China by Marco Polo in the 13th century.
Today, the vine covers approximately one acre. Over the years, it has shown distress and seemed to be dying. Experts have been brought in from Cal Tech, Occidental, and Cal Poly Pomona. Correct pruning, treatments with hormones, and vitamin B have helped the vine to recover and to flourish. To help maintain the Vine’s health, records of vine growth and care are now kept on a computer log. The Vine seems to produce its greatest flowering after a cold winter followed by a sudden hot spell.
What is the correct spelling for wisteria—wisteria or wistaria? In the Sunset Western Garden Book it is spelled wisteria. Sierra Madre has always spelled it wistaria. According to L. A. County Arboretum and Botanic Garden senior biologist Jim Bauml and Librarian Joan De Fato, the plant was named to honor Caspar Wistar (1761-1818), an American physician and teacher, who taught at the University of Pennsylvania. Among his accomplishments, he wrote the first text-book on anatomy. When the name of the genus Wisteria was put into the books, it was incorrectly spelled, says De Fato. So, one could say that all along, Sierra Madre has correctly spelled Wistaria!
A partial view of the vine at the Solts residence. The vine has grown from a gallon can in 1895 to (estimates) 1.5 million luxuriant lavender blossoms, 250 tons, More than one acre in size, 500 foot branches, 40 blossoms per sq. foot. Growth rate (per various experts) from 24″ in 24 hours to 26″ in 48 hours
Named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest blossoming plant in the world Named one of the seven horticultural wonders of the world, along with the redwood forest in Sequoia National Park, Brazil’s tropical jungle in the Amazon Valley, Mexico’s Xochimilco floating gardens, India’s gardens of the Taj Mahal, Japan’s Yokohama rock gardens, and the gardens of Buckingham Palace.


The Magnusson-Lawsing families came to America as 17th century English Puritans to Massachusetts; 18th century English Quakers to Pennsylvania and french-speaking Dutch Protestants to the Hudson River Valley; and 19th century Icelanders to Minnesota. Some participated in the great events in the Republic's history, and all more or less imbued education, industry and cultural advancement.

Our family through the ages Exploring our incredible family


By Ashlie Bailey
Most Americans think that the Holocaust ended in 1945 when World War II ended. The truth is the horrors of the Holocaust were continued for years and years later by Nazi scientist who escaped justice and were never charged with a crime.
At the end of World War II, the United States Government launched a project called Operation Paperclip. The objective of Operation Paperclip was to smuggle a group of powerful Nazi scientist and war criminals into the US. They were given protection and new identities by the United States Government.
Operation Paperclip allowed these war criminals to legally continue doing Nazi experiments and research on US citizens, many of whom were children. Just one of the known Nazi experiments done on US citizens in the United States was called MK Ultra, or Project Birdcage or Project Monarch. MK Ultra is an extreme form of human trafficking, torture, brainwashing, and ritualistic abuse perpetrated by men connected to the Nazis. Operation Paperclip and MK Ultra are not just some myth. It is a documented part of American history. There are many declassified government documents that prove it exists. Eventually, MK Ultra was banned from being used on US citizens. However, MK Ultra continued. Its use on none US citizens has still never been banned. Along with other members of my family, I survived this horrific form of human trafficking.
During World War II, thousands of children who were the offspring of Nazi men were bred to become a part of the “master race”. The children of the “master race” were called the Lebensborn children. Many of the Lebensborn children were abducted from their families and trafficked. In some ways, my own background was very similar to the children of Lebensborn. I believe that before I was even born I was chosen for my German family heritage. Like many of the children of Lebensborn, I was trafficked and brainwashed by powerful men. I was born into a trafficking ring run by men in my family who were deeply convicted with Nazi beliefs and claimed to have ties to secret societies and the Nazis. They worked in government and military at the time. They used on their victims a combination of ritualistic abuse, military style enhanced interrogation torture techniques, and trauma based mind control which, is an extreme form of torture and brainwashing.
How ironic is it that the government would choose to call their project Operation Paperclip, when originally in World War II the paperclip was worn by the Norwegians as a symbol of resistance to the Nazis. There were six million Jews killed in the Holocaust. Years ago a group of eighth grade students began collecting paperclips from all over the world for a memorial to Holocaust victims. After the students received six million paperclips, more kept coming in. Eventually they had enough paperclips for all of the millions of other people killed in the Holocaust, but even more, paperclips kept coming in the mail. At last count, over 30 million paperclips have been received. Although it probably was not the intention of the creators of the memorial, they now have enough paperclips to include the hidden holocaust victims of Operation Paperclip and MK Ultra.
One of the common symbols used to represent MK Ultra or Project Monarch victims is a butterfly. Even though it probably was not intentional, you can only imagine how touched I felt to see that butterflies were included in this memorial for Holocaust victims. It was a reminder to me that the victims of this type of injustice are not completely forgotten. I am reclaiming the paperclip back from the Nazi war criminals of Operation Paperclip. You can be a part of a movement to raise awareness and show your support to MK Ultra and ritualistic abuse victims everywhere by wearing a paperclip. I will now wear one in honor of all the children who are still being tortured and trafficked to this day by men who call themselves Nazis. To them, the Holocaust isn’t over. I will continue to remember them and fight for them always.

Declassified Papers Show U.S. Recruited Ex-Nazis By SAM ROBERTS December 11, 2010 After World War II, American counterintelligence recruited former Gestapo officers, SS veterans and Nazi collaborators to an even greater extent than had been previously disclosed and helped many of them avoid prosecution or looked the other way when they escaped, according to thousands of newly declassified documents.
