Their contribution to the war effort would be as estate owners, animal breeders and farmers, then a reserved occupation. Herbert Whitley was lucky in someways to have poor enough eyesight to fail an army medical, likewise his brother William who had severely damaged his leg in a riding accident years before. One wonders what might have happened if Herbert Whitley had been fit enough to fight? Several zoo keepers from London Zoo were also killed in this same period and battle. There are several websites which describe Charles Whitley including portraits: Edward and Elizabeth Eleanor Whitley, of Primley, Paignton, Devon. ![]() 15, Hibers Trench Cemetery, France.

Some of the family of his estate workers and no doubt some of his horses would no doubt have perished too on the Western Front. ![]() Charles Whitley, one of the four Whitley brothers was dead, killed in the First World War. Sadly by the time his fledgling zoo opened in 1923, one of the four Whitley brothers was dead. In 1930 the collection changed its name to Primley Zoological Gardens. The Zoo closed briefly in 1924 due to a dispute over entertainment tax Whitley felt very strongly that his collection was a place of learning and not entertainment. In 1923, in the aftermath of the First World War, Herbert Whitley opened his collection, then known as Torbay Zoological Gardens, to the public. Going public after a private wartime tragedy The first monkeys arrived in 1910 and a pair of sulphur crested cockatoos in 1911 – the foundation of Herbert’s bird collection which was later to feature secret carrier pigeons and unfortunate GI snacks in the shape of peacocks. Their plan was to create a breeding centre for pedigree livestock, but exotic animals soon appeared. Herbert and his brother William formed a partnership to manage the Primley estate farms. His archive or library has scrapbooks and bound journal volumes featuring his many breeding successes, some featured in Jack Baker’s ‘biography’ of Whitley (see below). He went on to breed and exhibit finches, rabbits, poultry and pigeons. It is said that Herbert Whitley’s zoo began as a child, when his mother gave him a pair of canaries. A fight ensued with local authorities over its educational role, rather than pure entertainment which saw Herbert close his zoo for a number of years rather than be liable for an ‘entertainment tax’ on zoo visits. These plants and animals would by summer 1923 be transformed into the nucleus of the collection which became Primley Zoological Gardens, opened to the public for educational rather than just purely entertainment reasons (see below). Paignton Zoo has recently been searching for ‘lost’ cultivars from Whitley’s Primley Botanic Nursery, named ‘Primley Blue’ (including mallow, rosemary and hebe). He had a lifelong passion for blue animals and plants, from peacocks to rosemary. Unlike Picasso, Herbert Whitley never grew out of his ‘blue period’. With an agricultural or science based degree behind him, Whitley quickly used his family wealth to establish stud kennels and farms for his experiments in breeding dogs, farm animals, pigeons, horses as well as building greenhouses for exotic plants. 1880) remained with his young family in Liverpool, after studying medicine. His older brother Edward Whitley Junior (b. Here Herbert quickly established an estate of several farms in the area with his brother William. On his father’s death, Herbert Whitley, two brothers William and Charles and a sister Mary moved from Liverpool and Lancashire to Devon around 1904 to 1907 with his widowed mother Eleanor (1848 – 1929). Herbert’s father Edward has an impressive entry in Debrett’s 1886 House Of Commons directory from the year Herbert Whitley was born. Herbert Whitley (1886 – 1955) was one of four sons of Edward Whitley, a Liverpool based brewer ( Greenall Whitley) and Victorian MP (1825 – 1892). Our sister zoo at Paignton was started in 1923 by an eccentric and wealthy figure with hard business sense, a passion for the colour blue and an eye for good breeding stock amongst plants and animals – Herbert Whitley. The 29th August 1944 / 2014 is one such sad anniversary. It is 70 years this year since the events of D-Day, and this month 75 years since World War Two began and also 100 years since the outbreak of World War One – both wars were to cost the Whitley family dear.

![]() That's not to downplay the songwriting of guitarist Gary Herrewig and vocalist Billy Paliselli, the two members who write the bulk of the album (rhythm guitarist Gary Cox contributes two numbers, including the nicely spacy "Dandelion" where he takes lead vocals): they write muscular, insistent pop songs where the riffs are as memorable as the melodies, songs hooky enough that it's easy to see why Artful Dodger is tagged as power pop. Sonically, Artful Dodger falls between the Raspberries and Cheap Trick - they have guitars and jangle and melodies that evoke the Beatles - but to call them pop almost seems dismissive, to ignore that Honor Among Thieves is a heavy rock & roll record, an album where the power chords outweigh the power pop. ![]() Track 9 accurately ripped (confidence 4) įILE "Artful Dodger - Honor Among Thieves.ape" WAVEĪrtful Dodger is a classic example of a great band who arrived at the wrong time - in this case, they were caught in the mid-'70s crossroads, between the power pop of the Raspberries and the crunching rock of Cheap Trick, whose producer Jack Douglas helmed Artful Dodger's debut as well as Honor Among Thieves, their excellent second album.

The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the second floor in 1178. Nearly four centuries later Giorgio Vasari wrote: "Guglielmo, according to what is being said, in the year 1174, together with sculptor Bonanno, laid the foundations of the bell tower of the cathedral in Pisa". This ground floor is a blind arcade articulated by engaged columns with classical Corinthian capitals. Work on the ground floor of the white marble campanile began on 14 August of the same year during a period of military success and prosperity. On 9 August 1173, the foundations of the tower were laid. The sum was then used toward the purchase of a few stones which still form the base of the bell tower. On 5 January 1172, Donna Berta di Bernardo, a widow and resident of the house of dell'Opera di Santa Maria, bequeathed sixty soldi to the Opera Campanilis petrarum Sancte Marie. Ĭonstruction of the tower occurred in three stages over 199 years. A 2001 study seems to indicate Diotisalvi was the original architect, due to the time of construction and affinity with other Diotisalvi works, notably the bell tower of San Nicola and the Baptistery, both in Pisa. A piece of cast bearing his name was discovered at the foot of the tower in 1820, but this may be related to the bronze door in the façade of the cathedral that was destroyed in 1595. Pisano left Pisa in 1185 for Monreale, Sicily, only to come back and die in his home town. For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonanno Pisano, a well-known 12th-century resident artist of Pisa, known for his bronze casting, particularly in the Pisa Duomo. There has been controversy surrounding the identity of the architect of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The structure was stabilized by remedial work between 19, which reduced the tilt to 3.97 degrees. By 1990, the tilt had reached 5.5 degrees. It worsened through the completion of construction in the 14th century. The tower began to lean during construction in the 12th century, due to soft ground which could not properly support the structure's weight. The tower has 296 or 294 steps the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase. ![]() Its weight is estimated at 14,500 tonnes (16,000 short tons). The width of the walls at the base is 2.44 m (8 ft 0 in). The height of the tower is 55.86 metres (183 feet 3 inches) from the ground on the low side and 56.67 m (185 ft 11 in) on the high side. ![]() The tower is one of three structures in the Pisa's Cathedral Square ( Piazza del Duomo), which includes the cathedral and Pisa Baptistry. It is known for its nearly four-degree lean, the result of an unstable foundation. The Leaning Tower of Pisa ( Italian: torre pendente di Pisa), or simply, the Tower of Pisa ( torre di Pisa ), is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of Pisa Cathedral. Apart from the head, the appearance of the female was not changed. Instead of delicate butterfly wings, the male was depicted with huge owl wings, and his body was changed from slender to stocky.

If you can, always have your pieces checked out by an expert.Īll of the factors above may or may not be used by the buyer when they try to determine a price for your geode. Many buyers and collectors out there will lower how much they pay you, just to sell it for a higher price. This part relies on who you wish to sell your geode to. Someone could be looking for an amethyst geode that was built or formed a certain way. Most buyers want a piece that sparkles and is not dull. The luster refers to the shine you see on the surface. The aesthetics are what truly matters and if the geode looks like it is about to split in two, it will be difficult to sell. Should the geode you find have many cracks and splits on the inside and out, you should expect to receive a small compensation. If it is a rare piece, even the smallest bit of the mineral could be worth somewhere in the hundreds. Depending on which geode you have, this factor may not work. The larger your geode is, the more valuable it is. Darker colored geodes are hard to come by and the amethyst and black calcite geodes can fetch a pretty penny. If the color of your geode is darker and richer you will see more value. How clear is the geode? Can you make out every speck inside? Or is the inside a bit murky and unclear? There are a few points on a collector or a buyer will use to determine the worth of a geode that include:ĭepending on the geode, the buyer will look for clarity. Unlike diamonds, geodes are not as cut and dry when it comes to pricing and putting a value on them. ![]() Either way, you are trying to discover how much your geodes are worth. You may be a collector, or someone may have gifted you a geode. A geode that has perfectly formed flawless crystals of bright color is the most valuable. Geodes’ price depends on a list of factors, which are the size, scarcity, color, clarity of crystals, their luster, and the presence of flaws. Geodes’ worth ranges dramatically from around $5 to thousands of dollars.

So far MathWorks has been very diligent in making its object properties have meaningful names, and so I assume that when the time comes to expose these properties, they will be renamed (perhaps to TextHandles, EdgeHandles and FaceHandles, or perhaps LabelHandles, LineHandles and FillHandles). Set(hContour.EdgePrims(hContour.LevelList<0), 'LineStyle', 'dotted') Ĭustomized Matlab contour lines Prediction about forward compatibilityĪs I noted on my previous post on contour plot customization, I am marking this article as “ High risk of breaking in future Matlab versions“, not because of the basic functionality (being important enough I don’t presume it will go away anytime soon) but because of the property names: TextPrims, EdgePrims and FacePrims don’t seem to be very user-friendly property names. = contour(peaks, 'ShowText','on', 'LevelStep',1) drawnow = contour ( peaks, 'ShowText', 'on', 'LevelStep', 1 ) drawnow set (hContour. To do this, we add a callback listener to the contour object’s MarkedClean event that reruns our updateContours function: We also want to call updateContours asynchronously whenever the contour is redrawn, for example, upon a zoom/pan event, or when one of the relevant contour properties (e.g., LevelStep or *Data) changes. The final stage is to call our new updateContours function directly, immediately after creating the contour plot. Feel free to experiment with other label properties. The final drawnow at the end of the function is optional: it is meant to reduce the flicker caused by the changing label colors, but it can be removed to improve the rendering performance in case of rapidly-changing contour plots.įinally, note that I added a commented line that shows we can modify other label properties (in this case, the font size from 10 to 8). Instead I used a very small 10*eps tolerance in the numeric comparison.Īlso note that I was careful to call drawnow at the top of the update function, in order to ensure that EdgePrims and TextPrims are updated when the function is called (this might not be the case before the call to drawnow). Note that in this function we don’t directly equate the numeric label values to the contour levels’ values: this would work well for integer values but would fail with floating-point ones. %labels(idx).Font.Size = 8 % update the label font size Labels(idx).ColorData = lines(lineIdx).ColorData % update the label color LineIdx = find(abs(levels-labelValue)<10*eps, 1) % avoid FP errors using eps LabelValue = str2double(labels(idx).String) Lines = hContour.EdgePrims % undocumented/unsupported Labels = hContour.TextPrims % undocumented/unsupported ColorData % update the label color %labels(idx).Font.Size = 8 % update the label font size end drawnow % optional end LineIdx = find ( abs (levels-labelValue )< 10* eps, 1 ) % avoid FP errors using eps EdgePrims % undocumented/unsupported for idx = 1 : numel (labels ) TextPrims % undocumented/unsupported lines = hContour.
