 role as an Armed Merchant Cruiser. "Aquitania" went on to play an important role in the First World War as a Troop Transport and Hospital Ship.
Now getting back to the postcard. It is a real photo-image of the "Aquitania" in the Liverpool dry-dock. But what is interesting is that there is a lot of furniture & fixtures on the pier not to mention several lifeboats which are being inspected.
But the true piece of history in this real photo is there is a 6" GUN on her foredeck.
Now the next interesting thing is the postmark and text of the postcard.
So the interesting thing here is that the british had the "Aquitania" in dry-dock on or before August 3, 1914, when this postcard was mailed and had off loaded her furniture and fixtures and on loaded some of her 6" guns.
Does anyone know of any good books with a decent volume of information and pictures on the Aquitania? If so please let me know, I've been looking for some time. Thanks, anything would be appreciated.
John Maxtone-Graham,'s Crossing And Cruising has a long Aquitania chapter.
Ocean Liners of the Past: Aquitania.
It is part of a series. Other volumes include: Olympic & Titanic; Lusitania & Mauretania and the Queen Mary.
The Aquitania engineering reprint has tons of drawings and plans of the Aquitania. There is one more Ocean Liners of the Past Normandie was the 4th book.
Thanks very much for the information folks. You've been most helpful, I also enjoy the photos you are all posting. Keep it up! Those shipbuilder special number reprints are always a good source of information, but wow are they expensive. Seems to me the Aquitania reprints that I have seen are especially expensive. I wonder why? Thanks again.
Aquitania snapshot- from a collection of negatives picked up in Buenos Aires documenting the European tour of a well to do Argentine family ca 1925.
In my opinion there has been just to little written about her. I am aware of only four books that go into her history - excluding the engineer and shipbuilder reprints.whats up bby, a/s/l? wanna do bad things to u
With the political climate around the world and the #metoo movement taking the globe by storm I expect these harassers to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
You're the type of kid I would shove into a locker in highschool.
You should recomend the game to new players. It's never been in a better state&gt; Like I don't know how you skipped every single science and biology class ever offered to you

You seem to be confusing science with religion. It's religions that teach that  humans are somehow special and unlike the other animals. Science has shown that humans are just animals, specifically that we evolved from other apes. From a scientific perspective, *if* what you claim about other animals were true, then the same would be true of humans. However, as others have pointed out, what you're saying has no basis in reality.The field of Internet marketing is constantly being updated and transformed. In order to succeed in this area you need to constantly keep abreast. In this article you will learn about the useful chips, which novices may not guess.

We suggest to study their features and introduce them into your business in order to succeed against the background of competitors!
The method appeared on the site already at least two years ago, but many still do not realize its beauty in full. Connect “Lead Generation” – it allows you to collect information about users: get their phone numbers and email. Activate the option can be in the settings of the campaign. And the base is available for download in CVS or XLS format. It will come in handy to send individual offers to customers.
When you set up advertising on Facebook, select “Leads – Lead Generation” in your account.
The next step is to create a generation form. When you create it, use this rule: the smaller the graph to fill, the more likely it is that more users will answer the questions posed.
Thus, a potential client will see an offer with an offer on the site, click on it and go to the application form.
The system offers to bid on the lead manually or automatically. If you know the price for sure, you can use manual tuning. If you are not sure, use auto spacer. Developers are constantly improving the “brain” of the site, so he will offer the price that will lead the best leads. Try it yourself.
What is the business benefit?
Clients do not need to leave the social network – as a rule, users want to receive all the information at once, without going through third-party links.
You will receive more bids for offers for promotions, trial products, and so on.
And at the same time, you get contacts of people really interested in the products offered. In order not to write a user, you will be available to his profile on the social network.
The reality is that a person can quickly forget that he filled out some form, because on the day we perceive a huge array of new information. Therefore, it is necessary to respond as quickly as possible to left applications from the lead form. To make this process more efficient, when setting up, select the option “Strengthening intent” or add some clarifying question – this will raise the level of awareness among users who have filled out the form. In addition, the call manager of your company or letter will not fall down on a potential client, like snow on the head.

Yandex has a finger on the pulse and knows that video is the trend of Internet marketing in 2018. Therefore, it offers its customers a new tool that transforms text ads into small videos, and then places them on Yandex.Fish, Yandex.Video, Kinopoisk, Yandex.Television and other Yandex video network services.
In the section where text-graphic ads are created for Yandex.Direct, there is a function of video completion.
Even if you do not have your own video for placement, it does not matter. The site offers an extensive library of ready-made templates. Upload your video into it, select music from the Yandex repository.
Text fields are filled in the same way as with a standard ad. You pay for the number of clicks. You can track the effectiveness of this tool through the Report Wizard in Yandex.Direct.

Also note that the cost of clicking on video ads is more expensive than normal. But it’s worth it!
Such a service as Carrot Quest, you probably know. It offers many internet marketing tools. That’s just their auto messages are not all. These are pop-up notifications with the help of which you can keep a person on the site and stimulate their purchasing power.
For example, a guest chooses between several positions of a product for a long time. After some time, you can offer your help by choice, or offer a discount on one of these products. This is the type of pop-up windows that do not annoy visitors (if properly configured), but, on the contrary, increase the conversion of regular site visitors into buyers.
Setting up auto-messages takes place in the Carrot Quest office – there you can select the content of the text and the exact time when the notification will be broadcast to site visitors. Now you need to configure the Event. There are two options: manual configuration or automatic – through the “Data Collection Wizard”.
