To the Chinese the Tiger is said to be lucky, vivid, lively and engaging. Renowned for their incredible bravery and willingness to engage in battle it is often wondered if a Tiger is so brave because he is so lucky. It is said that having a Tiger in the house is the very best protection against the evils of fire and burglary. The Year of the Tiger is the third in the Chinese astrological cycle following the Year of the Ox and recurs every twelfth year. Though the starting day of the year may vary the majority of people born in the years 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986 and 1998 are Tigers Tigers do not find worth in power or money. Completely honest about what they feel they expect the same of you. They seek approval from peers and family. Because of their charming personalities Tigers are usually well liked. Failing at a given task or being unproductive in personal or professional life can cause a Tiger to experience a depression. Even more damaging is criticism from loved ones. Lke all felines, Tigers land on their feet, ready for their next act in life, pursuing it with unyielding energy and hunting to perfection. Tigers are relentlessly competitive – they cannot pass up a challenge, particularly if honor is at stake, or if protecting those they love. Tigers are unpredictable and it is fatal to underestimate their reactions. Even when appearing calm they may pounce without a moment’s warning. Always natural leaders, they have a strong sense of their own dignity, and when finding themselves members of the rank and file they can be stubborn and obstinate. In positions of power they are difficult though stimulating bosses. Tigers are intelligent, alert, and farsighted. Formidable enemies they are good strategists and tacticians always with a hidden agenda. Their only apparent weakness is they can risk their luck too often, and have great difficulty keeping their restless nature under control. More often than not their tactics pay off in life. The Chinese name for the Tiger is HU, the sign of courage. February is the month of the Tiger and as such the Western astrological counterpart is Aquarius. Tigers are known for courage, vehemence, self-Reliance, friendliness, hopefulness and resilience. Their weakness is vanity and a disregard for others. The Chinese character for the Tiger.

Taken from a medical journal from the 1950’s. The type set might be different, and we might be living 50 years on – but the fear of nuclear war is still as terrifying now as it was then.

Hip retro inspired design evokes the bygone days of the 1950s when rock n’ roll shook up the world and the youth of America declared rock n’ roll king. For Boredom Competition: This piece represents the early years of rock and roll, back in the mid 1950’s, both through the simplicity of the instrumentation and the style of graphic design so typical of the era.

I love the green color of this stapler. In the same way that you’ll rarely see a baby blue- or putty-colored car, you’ll rarely see this color on desk accessories.

The K class locomotives were often seen on the Tallangatta-Cudgewa line based in Wodonga. As I lived along that line for many years they were for me a ‘Real’ locomotive. They hauled cattle trains, mixed goods, and refrigerated butter trains from this area.
