This view of the West Approach Road looking towards the city centre was taken from the Grove Street bridge and has captured Lothian 427 working a 22 from Granton Harbour to Gyle Centre. Passenger train services into Princes Street station were finally withdrawn in 1965 and the trackbed converted into this special road, opening in December 1974. Much development has taken place surrounding it in the years since. This view eastwards looks to the bridge over the road at the Gardner’s Crescent/Morrison Street junction with the drum shaped Edinburgh International Conference Centre visible top right. The canyon like nature of this innermost part of the road is evident as the former railway route is hemmed in by modern buildings in the city’s new financial district.
The British Rail Class 104 diesel multiple units were built by Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company from 1957 to 1959.
The first units were ordered for the London Midland Region, with the majority of the class for use in North West of England, sets were also used on Tyneside, like the Metro-Cammell class 101's these units truly worked nationwide, but of all the routes worked by the the class the Buxton route was the one with which they beacame synonynous.
Here is a Newton Heath allocated set comprising of M53465 & M53499 in Stockport's platform 3a with the Stalybridge shuttle service, in May 1989 this service changed to becoming a Parliamentary or Ghost train, that runs once a week (June 2015) on a Friday at 09.22 from Stockport in one direction only,

From the event organizers:
Pittsburghers from the Sunrise Movement and other allied organizations (see full list below) will rally at 414 Grant Street to celebrate Earth Day and push for serious climate justice policy from our local, state and national governments. We’ll be striking to make sure that people in power know that they can’t keep ignoring the voices of the people, and we’d like to bring out as big of a crowd as possible to do that. So come on down everybody, and join us in celebrating Earth Day!
WHAT: A rally to celebrate Earth Day and demand concrete climate action.
WHEN: 2 PM - 4 PM ET.
WHERE: At the City County Building, 414 Grant St.
WHY: The world is in a state of emergency. Across the globe, the climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our communities, destroying our homes and livelihoods, and leaving death and destruction in its wake. The message is clear: our extractive system has resulted in the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and we must rise to defeat the challenge of our lifetimes. We cannot let politics or corporatism convince us that there is no way out, because there is: a just transition from fossil fuels to a regenerative economy.
WHO: Our organizers and endorsers are an intergenerational coalition working together to bring about concrete climate action. If your organization would like to join this list we only have two things that we specifically ask of our endorsing partners:
Bring out your base! As many people as you can. The more you can spread the word, the more impact this action could have.
Be ready to keep working together after the action is over. We can’t afford to stop fighting and to ensure we get the justice we deserve we have to fight as a team. The partnerships formed through this action are something we hope lasts well after it!

Our Demands
We’re structuring this action so that every organization can bring demands to the table, but each organizations’ demands do not supersede the overall goals of the strike:
1. Pittsburgh universities (Pitt, CMU, Chatham, Carlow, Duquesne, Point Park, etc.) and institutions must divest from fossil fuels, and do so with transparency to the public.
2. The City must transition away from single use plastics, starting with taking them out of our retail services. A regular conversation between activists and the Gainey administration in regards to plastic pollution needs to be established.
3. The broader community must get involved and engaged in fighting the climate crisis in any way they can. This can be by joining organizations or other means!
4. Gainey and other reps must stand against the cracker plant and all current and planned fossil fuel infrastructure, to protect our air and water quality and communities.
5. Pittsburgh must divest from the police and reinvest in the community.
6. Education on the Climate Emergency: Allegheny county schools must recognize the threat and educate on it.
7. A fracking ban in Allegheny County.
8. The halting of national pipeline construction.
9. The passage of voting acts that ensure everyone has easy and equal access to voting.
10. The city, county, state and country must invest in communities of color and create opportunities for good green jobs
The William and Mary men’s basketball team led from start to finish and pushed its home-court winning streak to 14 games with a 77-58 victory over Elon on Wednesday night at Kaplan Arena. W&M shot 49 percent from the floor, knocked down ten 3-pointers and connected on 17-of-20 from the free throw line in outdistancing Elon. W&M remained in first place in the CAA at 10-3 in league and 16-8 overall, while Elon dropped to 11-15 on the year and 3-10 in CAA play.
Omar Prewitt led the Tribe, scoring 18 of his game-high 19 points in the first half to go with seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. Sean Sheldon picked up his first career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Marcus Thornton finished with 17 points and three assists.
The Tribe jumped out to an early advantage thanks in large part to the play of Prewitt and Sheldon. They combined for 24 of the Tribe’s opening 28 points as the Green and Gold opened up a double-digit advantage. W&M scored 11 of game’s first 13 points as four straight from Sheldon, including a pair of free throws, gave W&M the nine-point cushion.
Five straight from Elon closed the gap to 11-7 at the 13:51 mark, but W&M responded with and 8-2 run, including six from Prewitt. His 3-pointer from the left side extended the Tribe lead to 19-9. The Tribe lead remained in double digits, jumping to 30-15 on a Thornton setback jumper with four and a half minutes left in the half. The margin was 11 points following an Elijah Bryant jumper at the 3:20 mark, before the home team ripped off a 12-2 run to push its advantage over 20.
Connor Burchfield provided W&M with a huge lift off the bench, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers. A steal and fast break bucket from Thornton gave W&M a 17-point advantage and forced an Elon timeout. The Green and Gold run continued on a tough finish inside from Sheldon and a pair of Prewitt free throws, extending the lead to 42-21 with a minute left in the first half. W&M led by 19 at the intermission after shooting 51.7 percent (15-of-29), while limiting Elon to 36 percent (9-of-25) in the opening 20 minutes.
The visiting Phoenix scored eight of first 11 in the second half to draw within 14 points. Hamilton scored six straight points for Elon, including a steal and fast break lay-up to close the visitors to within 45-31 with 16:45 left.
After failing to hit a 3-pointer in the opening 20 minutes, Thornton knocked down back-to-back triples, including one of the step-back variety, to push the lead back to 18, 51-33, and the Phoenix never got closer than 15 points the rest of the way. His fast break lay-up off a Sheldon defensive rebound and look-ahead pass gave W&M a 60-40 lead with just under eight minutes remaining.
The cushion reached as many as 23 on a pair of occasions, including on Thornton’s third 3-pointer of the second half with 2:50 to play. From there, both teams emptied the bench and W&M picked up a 77-58 win, its 16th of the season. The 16 wins rank 10th in program history.
In a stark contrast from the earlier meeting this season, W&M limited Elon to just 3-of-22 (13.6 percent) from 3-point range, including only 1-of-14 from its top two scorers in Bryant and Tanner Samson. The Phoenix duo was 12-of-22 from long range and combined for 45 points in their home win over the Tribe in January. Elon finished the game shooting 40.3 percent (25-of-62) from the floor. Bryant led Elon with 15 points and 10 rebounds, but was just 5-of-15 from the field and 1-of-4 from 3-point range. Samson, who had 20 in the first meeting, finished with just two points and was 0-of-10 from 3-point range. Hamilton added 13 points, while Christian Hairston tallied 10 off the bench.
Playing without the services of guard Daniel Dixon, who was out due to injury, the Tribe received a number of contributions, especially from its freshman class. Rookie Oliver Tot garnered his first career start, finishing with three rebounds and two assists in a strong floor game. Greg Malinowski added six points, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers, to go along with two assists and fellow classmate Burchfield poured in six points on two 3-pointers. Tom Schalk added six points, four rebounds and a career-high three blocked shots off the bench.
W&M shot 49 percent (25-of-51) on the night, including a 10-of-24 (41.7 percent) effort from 3-point range. The Green and Gold continued its strong free throw shooting, connecting on 85 percent (17-of-20) from the charity stripe. The Tribe out rebounded Elon, 36-30, and dished out 14 assists on its 25 made field goals.

Thornton Dial American, Emelle, Alabama 1928 – 2016 McCalla, Alabama
9/11: Interrupting the Morning News, 2002
Graphite, charcoal, watercolor, and coffee on paper
Dial created a substantial body of work in response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the subsequent U.S. invasion of Iraq. This example is composed of a pile of tangled lines—some whip about like flames, while others, harder and more angular, suggest a fragmented structure. The semi-abstract drawing reflects the artist’s experience of watching the aftermath of the World Trade Center tragedy on television (the means by which Dial derived several of his subjects). Featuring faint faces scattered throughout the thicket of lines, it is an imaginative representation of the tower’s collapse and an evocation of lives lost.

Another well camoflated space invader on the corner of the Rue de la Masse and Rue de la Bonneterie in the old center of Avignon. To explore the narrow streets of Avignon, a space invader safari is highly recommended!
Date of invasion: Summer 2000
INVASION OF AVIGNON | THE CAMO INVASION
The reason that Invader has chosen to camoflate his art work in space invaders was for tactical reasons. He was invited to participate in a big art festival in Avignon (“La Beauté”, Summer 2000) for which he wanted to invade the city and to make a map of the invasion. But a few weeks before Invader wanted to start he received a phone call from the festival organization asking him to change his plans because Avignon was a very old city with a lot of listed historical buildings that Invader was not allowed to invade.
Invader’s idea was to invade it anyway but to turn it into a special camo invasion. This basis were that that the Space Invaders were made with the same color as the walls. (Invader 2001 from an interview)
Score Table: Invasion Wave: 01, Invaders: 41, Points: 0660
As I don’t know the identity numbers Invader was using I chose to number them in the order I found them. These are listed in brackets above with the hashtag. Photos are taken on the 31/05, 01/06 or on 05/06 when we revisited Avignon during the day. In total I found 22 from the 41 (53 %).

With my car in for a MOT Test I had to resort to the local train into Carlisle from Wigton this morning after being dropped off by the wife doing the nursery school run. With the weather as it was I expected the intended train at 08.57 to be somewhat adrift of its booked time seeing as it was the 05.22 from Preston via Barrow but good old Northern Rail had a nice warm 156 provided and just 4mins late from Wigton and right time into Carlisle.
How about that 'Tiger Tim' and 'Nightshiftworker' I bet the same wouldn't be true in juice rail land ?
153380 is coupled to the rear of a Class 150 without corridor connections 150104 , to form the 19.22 from Yatton to Bristol Temple Meads. FGW has about 14 Class 153 Super Sprinters most of which came from Wessex Trains. These units were originally built as two-car Class 155 units by British Leyland around 1987–88, but were converted to railcars by Hunslet-Barclay at Kilmarnock in 1991–92. The layout of the original non-cab ends as seen here was different from the original cab end , so the ends are noticeably distinct, and the units are not symmetrical.
153380 was repainted in GWR green by July 2017.
153380 was transferred to Northern in May 2018

Toigo, 18, from Lincoln Park, Mich., and Marso, 22, from Kernersville, N.C., battled using pugil sticks in two 15-second matches to simulate fighting with bayonet-affixed rifles. Recruits practice these techniques as part of Marine Corps martial arts training. Mike Company is scheduled to graduate May 23, 2014. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)

W&M led by 19 at the intermission after shooting 51.7 percent (15-of-29), while limiting Elon to 36 percent (9-of-25) in the opening 20 minutes.
The visiting Phoenix scored eight of first 11 in the second half to draw within 14 points. Hamilton scored six straight points for Elon, including a steal and fast break lay-up to close the visitors to within 45-31 with 16:45 left.
After failing to hit a 3-pointer in the opening 20 minutes, Thornton knocked down back-to-back triples, including one of the step-back variety, to push the lead back to 18, 51-33, and the Phoenix never got closer than 15 points the rest of the way. His fast break lay-up off a Sheldon defensive rebound and look-ahead pass gave W&M a 60-40 lead with just under eight minutes remaining.
The cushion reached as many as 23 on a pair of occasions, including on Thornton’s third 3-pointer of the second half with 2:50 to play. From there, both teams emptied the bench and W&M picked up a 77-58 win, its 16th of the season. The 16 wins rank 10th in program history.
In a stark contrast from the earlier meeting this season, W&M limited Elon to just 3-of-22 (13.6 percent) from 3-point range, including only 1-of-14 from its top two scorers in Bryant and Tanner Samson. The Phoenix duo was 12-of-22 from long range and combined for 45 points in their home win over the Tribe in January. Elon finished the game shooting 40.3 percent (25-of-62) from the floor. Bryant led Elon with 15 points and 10 rebounds, but was just 5-of-15 from the field and 1-of-4 from 3-point range. Samson, who had 20 in the first meeting, finished with just two points and was 0-of-10 from 3-point range. Hamilton added 13 points, while Christian Hairston tallied 10 off the bench.
Playing without the services of guard Daniel Dixon, who was out due to injury, the Tribe received a number of contributions, especially from its freshman class. Rookie Oliver Tot garnered his first career start, finishing with three rebounds and two assists in a strong floor game. Greg Malinowski added six points, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers, to go along with two assists and fellow classmate Burchfield poured in six points on two 3-pointers. Tom Schalk added six points, four rebounds and a career-high three blocked shots off the bench.
W&M shot 49 percent (25-of-51) on the night, including a 10-of-24 (41.7 percent) effort from 3-point range. The Green and Gold continued its strong free throw shooting, connecting on 85 percent (17-of-20) from the charity stripe. The Tribe out rebounded Elon, 36-30, and dished out 14 assists on its 25 made field goals.
Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action.

***Subspecies orientalis is referred to here.
****Different names are used in Reynolds (1950) for A. marlothii and A. spectabilis, quoting the Rev. J. Gerstner. These species are now seen as synonyms. Perhaps these discrepancies represent regional differences in prefix use (note these two forms occurred in different areas), or confusion about using Zulu prefixes by the author?
Distribution (only subsp. marlothii):
Botswana [9, 11, 26, 27, 28, 30, 35] E. [3, 18, 29] SE [1, 5, 10, 22] near Gaborone, fl. 13.ix.1976 [10]
Malawi [11, 18] Records of this species from Zimbabwe and Malawi (e.g. Jeppe 1969: 36) are probably based on misidentifications of A. excelsa (no. 115), which appears similar when not in flower or fruit. [2]
Mozambique [4, 5, 9, 11, 18, 26, 28, 29, 35]: specimen observed in Maputoland [1] Not in Flora of Mozambique [6] vast distribuição. In Matutuíne, os inquiridores consideraram a presença of A. marlothii with abundance [32]
South Africa [19, 28, 33]
–KwaZulu-Natal [1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 22, 26, 27, 28, 30, 35] north of Durban [9] northern [29],
-Gauteng [1, 3, 9, 10, 14, 18, 22, 28, 30, 37, 100, 102] almost throughout [100], Common mainly in the Pretoria/Magaliesberg region and Suikerbosrand [102]. Aloe marlothii forest at Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve [14] not uncommon in Klipkop [37] Its distribution ranges from the Klip River Hills in Johannesburg [18]
-Limpopo [1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11, 22, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35] throughout [100], northwards over the Soutpansberg [18]

-North-West Province [1, 9, 22, 28, 30] E [100] Pilanesberg National Park [2, 39]
Swaziland: common and widespread throughout Swaziland, found everywhere except highest mountain regions.
Zimbabwe [4, 9, 11, 18, 26, 35]: Not in Flora of Zimbabwe [8] Does not cross the Limpopo River into Zimbabwe, the Soutpansberg being the northern limit in Limpopo [29] Records of this species from Zimbabwe (e.g. Jeppe 1969: 36) are probably based on misidentifications of A. excelsa, which appears similar when not in flower or fruit. [2]
Habitat: In stony, usually bare soils, often as the dominant species 1000-1200m [10]. It is found mainly in bushveld vegetation along mountainous areas, rocky terrain and slopes where temperatures are warmer and frost infrequent. Mountain ranges of the Drakensburg, Lebombo, Zoutpansberg and Waterberg have large populations of the species. It is thus not surprising that the common names bergalwyn or mountain aloe have been applied. At high altitudes however, the species does not occur in very cold areas, but the species does exhibit tolerance to frost. [9] in wooded grasslands on rocky hills in the highveld and middleveld [30] principalmente em montainous zonas [32] occurring in bushveld, usually on rocky hillsides [101] 150 to 1600m [1, 22], from sea level to 1600m. [9, 100] usually on rocky ridges and hillsides [101] rocky hills [28] rocky places and open flat country. [18] characteristically grows on rocky hills on the highveld [2] grow in a variety of habitats, from open bushveld to exposed rocky places [100] but may occur in a wide variety of habitats. The vegetation and climate vary considerably across its range. [2] ocorrendo em matagais abertos, em vales quentes e encostas rochosas [32].
IUCN Least Concern [1], CITES II [3] both subspecies Swaziland Schedule C [11] Conservation status SA Not threatened [9, 35, 100] Não existe nenhuma forma de conservação/protecção tradicional da planta. Não se encontra registada na Lista Vermelha de Plantas de Moçambique [32]. occurs in vast numbers [100]
On Infraspecific Variability: There are two subspecies presently recognised; 'orientalis' and the nominate form. Subspecies 'orientalis' was described in 1987 and is distinguished by its suckering habit, shorter racemes, less to no thorns, an lower stature (max. only 2m). It has very different habitat preferences; growing in coarse sandy soil at lower altitudes, even in beach sand at sea level. It is found in KwaZulu-Natal, Maputoland, and in two disjunct parts of Swaziland bordering the two aforementioned regions. There is also a report from near Nelspruit in Mpumalanga, but that seems unlikely to be valid.
Reynolds recognised certain KwaZulu-Natal forms as a separate species, A. spectabilis, based on the position of the racemes and less thorns on the upper surface. This was later disputed due to intermediate forms occurring.
Reynolds also named: Aloe marlothii var. bicolor, which would now correctly be called A. marlothii subsp. marlothii var. bicolor. This is now presently rejected, and thought to have been a hybrid (2003).
There is further infraspecific variation in:
1. Raceme angle
2. Bract and petal color. The plants from Utrecht district have completely red flowers. There is furthermore a garden variety with white flowers and bracts.
3. Spininess of (esp. upper) leaf surfaces.
4. Leaf colour (might be due to differences in cultivation).
5. Size (length of leaves/diameter rosette)
So much juicy info still remaining on ecology, ethnobotany, cultivation... I'll save the rest of the information for another picture some other day... If anyone wants the raw data I've complied, I'll be happy to send it, of course.
I also just found the original description so will happily plonk it over here for those who just can't get enough:
A. Marlothii A. Berg. n. sp. — Arborescens, truncus validus simplex, rosula foliorum magna capitatus. Folia lanceolaio-ensiformia, carnosa, sensim acuminata, subtus convexa, supra praesertim apicem versus marginibus erecto-incurvis canaliculata, utroque, sed praesertim subtus, aculeigera aculeisque marginalibus validis brunneis corneis armata. Inflorescentia more Packydendri copiose ramosa sed ramis elongatis horizontaliter patentibus, inferioribus ramificatis superioribus simplicibus; racemi basi densi, superne iaxi, sectmdi, floribus erectis. Caetera adbuc ignota.
Südafrika: Bei Lobatsi im Britischen Betchuanenland (Marloth n. 3788. — Blühend im November), kommt ferner nach Dr. Marloth in Transvaal vor und Mr. Medley Wood vermutet, daß sie auch in Zululand sich finde. Herr Dr. Marloth schreibt mir, dass in Fritzsch „ Drei Jahre in Süd-Afrika« ein ganzer Wald dieser Art abgebildet sei. Ich hatte leider nicht Gelegenheit, diese Abbildung zu sehen.
Zweifellos, möchte ich sagen, gehört WëIfaron zu den ‚Pachydendron‘. Das bestätigen zumindest Habitus, Gestalt und Bestachelung der Blätter und auch die Verzweigung der Infloreszenz. Einseitwendige Blütenstände, jedoch kürzere und dichtere, und nahezu rechtwinkelig aufwärts gebogene Blütentrauben kommen bei A. ferox vor; es stehen dabei die Blüten seitlich nach dem Zentrum der Rosette gerichtet.
A. marlothii hat jedoch die Blütentrauben horizontal ausgebreitet , sodass die Blüten alle senkrecht nach oben gerichtet sind, wie bei keiner anderen Aloe. Außerdem sind die Trauben länger und lockerer als bei A.ferox, besonders nach der Spitze hin.
Ich erhielt durch die Freundlichkeit von Herrn Dr. Marloth eine Photographie sowie ein junges lebendes Exemplar. Blüten fehlen leider zurzeit noch, doch glaube ich nicht zu irren, wenn ich annehme, dass die hervorgehobenen Eigentümlichkeiten genügen, darzutun, dass wir eine recht distinkte und sonderbare Art vor uns haben. Es ist mir eine angenehme Pflicht, diese neue Art mit dem Namen ihres verdienstvollen Entdeckers zu belegen.
English translation of the German part:
South Africa: At Lobatsi in British Bechuanaland (Marloth n. 3788. — Flowering in November), occurs furthermore in Transvaal according to Dr. Marloth, and Mr. Medley Wood notes, that it may also be found in Zululand. Sir Dr. Marloth writes me, that in Fritzsch: 'Drei Jahre in Süd-Afrika' a true forest of this species is depicted. I have not yet had the opportunity to see this image.
Without doubt, I should like to say, it belongs to the 'Pachydendron’. This, at least, confirm the habitus, the form and spination of the leaves, and also the branching of the Inflorescence. A unidirectional flower-stance; however shorter and denser, and almost right-angled, downwards-bent racemes occur also with A. ferox; but the flowers are thereby aimed towards the centre of the rosette.
A. Marlothii always has the racemes horizontally outspreading, so that all the flowers are facing vertically upwards, such as with no other Aloe. Furthermore the clusters are longer and looser than with A. ferox, especially towards the end.
I received a photograph as well as a young living subject, through the friendliness of Mr. Dr. Marloth. Flowers, unfortunately, are still absent at present, yet I believe I am not mistaken, when I assume, that the characteristics pointed out suffice to substantiate that we have quite a distinct and peculiar species before us. It is thus my pleasurable duty, to coin this new species with the name of its deserving discoverer.

With Northumberland fielders ready to pounce on any slip, a Cambridgeshire batter gets his head over the ball. Captured at Tynemouth Cricket Club during the first day's play in a NCCA Championship Eastern Division Two fixture. Cambridgeshire were to end the proceeding's 188 ahead.
After winning an important toss on a cloudy morning, the visitors capitalised on a very helpful pitch, which overnight had sweated profusely beneath covers, to skittle Northumberland for less than a hundred, before going on to build a decent lead. Fortunate with the weather, which became progressively sunnier and enabled a full day's play.
Ashleigh Cox (6-26 from 11 overs) cut a swathe through the Northumberland batting. Ben Clilverd took 3-22 from 9.1. Andrew Jones (20) and captain-wicketkeeper Stuart Poynter (19) stood between the hosts and serious embarrassment.
Replying, Cambridgeshire lost a batter to the second ball of the innings and another to the last. In between, Northumberland's bowlers had a pretty torrid time. The visitors recovered strongly from 77-4, thanks chiefly to the ultra-cautious Callum Guest (84 not out off 186 balls). He figured in useful partnerships with Dan Andrew (36) and Cox (32). Guest and Andrew added 67 for the fifth wicket, Guest and Cox 65 for the seventh. No 3 Yousuf Choudhary hit 32. Jones's figures, the pick for Northumberland, were 15-65-3.

Photo was taken during the Pittsburgh Earth Day Climate Strike took place on 4/22/22.
From the event organizers:
Pittsburghers from the Sunrise Movement and other allied organizations (see full list below) will rally at 414 Grant Street to celebrate Earth Day and push for serious climate justice policy from our local, state and national governments. We’ll be striking to make sure that people in power know that they can’t keep ignoring the voices of the people, and we’d like to bring out as big of a crowd as possible to do that. So come on down everybody, and join us in celebrating Earth Day!
WHAT: A rally to celebrate Earth Day and demand concrete climate action.
WHEN: 2 PM - 4 PM ET.
WHERE: At the City County Building, 414 Grant St.
WHY: The world is in a state of emergency. Across the globe, the climate crisis is wreaking havoc on our communities, destroying our homes and livelihoods, and leaving death and destruction in its wake. The message is clear: our extractive system has resulted in the greatest crisis we have ever faced, and we must rise to defeat the challenge of our lifetimes. We cannot let politics or corporatism convince us that there is no way out, because there is: a just transition from fossil fuels to a regenerative economy.
WHO: Our organizers and endorsers are an intergenerational coalition working together to bring about concrete climate action. If your organization would like to join this list we only have two things that we specifically ask of our endorsing partners:
Bring out your base! As many people as you can. The more you can spread the word, the more impact this action could have.
Be ready to keep working together after the action is over. We can’t afford to stop fighting and to ensure we get the justice we deserve we have to fight as a team. The partnerships formed through this action are something we hope lasts well after it!

Our Demands
We’re structuring this action so that every organization can bring demands to the table, but each organizations’ demands do not supersede the overall goals of the strike:
1. Pittsburgh universities (Pitt, CMU, Chatham, Carlow, Duquesne, Point Park, etc.) and institutions must divest from fossil fuels, and do so with transparency to the public.
2. The City must transition away from single use plastics, starting with taking them out of our retail services. A regular conversation between activists and the Gainey administration in regards to plastic pollution needs to be established.
3. The broader community must get involved and engaged in fighting the climate crisis in any way they can. This can be by joining organizations or other means!
4. Gainey and other reps must stand against the cracker plant and all current and planned fossil fuel infrastructure, to protect our air and water quality and communities.
5. Pittsburgh must divest from the police and reinvest in the community.
6. Education on the Climate Emergency: Allegheny county schools must recognize the threat and educate on it.
7. A fracking ban in Allegheny County.
8. The halting of national pipeline construction.
9. The passage of voting acts that ensure everyone has easy and equal access to voting.
10. The city, county, state and country must invest in communities of color and create opportunities for good green jobs

Huge fire guts New Town restaurants
A RESTAURANT has been destroyed and another one badly damaged after a fierce fire in the New Town.
The blaze, which broke out at the Bakehouse Company restaurant on Broughton Street, was spotted by police and ambulance workers as they tended to an unrelated incident opposite the shop when a woman was knocked off her bike.
The fire was reported just after 8.30pm, and is believed to have started among the electrical wiring within the building.
Around 40 firefighters and 11 appliances battled flames, which also affected the next door Khushi Punjabi restaurant and six newly-developed flats above.
Lothian and Borders Fire & Rescue Service worked through the night taking the structure apart to make sure there was no risk the fire could reignite.
Nobody was injured and the Bakehouse was closed at the time. It is understood there has been extensive smoke damage to both buildings.
Mohammed Akram, who owns Khushi Punjabi and is the president of the Council of British Pakistanis (Scotland), said he had been serving customers when he noticed the thick smoke.
He said: "We immediately evacuated all the staff and customers. We don't know the true extent of the damage yet, but we will not be operating for a few weeks. We're upset as this is a very unpleasant situation, and we'll miss the festival season. We feel numb at the moment, we haven't really taken it in.
"We noticed the fire when our kitchen filled up with smoke, which is very unusual. The building is very historic, so we're glad it has been saved."
The restaurant is not to be confused with the Khushi's Indian restaurant chain, whose restaurant on Victoria Street burnt down in December 2008.
Edward Lonie, who said he had spent £1 million developing the six flats above the restaurants in time for the Festival, said: "I'd just renovated the flats. A friend who was driving past called me to tell me what had happened. It's just fortunate no people were involved."
Keith Shaw, who bought the Bakehouse Company restaurant just six months ago, said: "We don't know anything yet, nobody has told us anything."
Student Sophie Tolley, 22, from Marchmont, said she had spotted the fire as she walked past the Bakehouse. She said: "There were huge flames and a lot of smoke coming out of the building, then the smoke got thicker. It was quite a sight."
Just ten minutes before the fire, police and ambulance workers had been called to aid a 35-year-old woman who had fallen off her bike. It is believed she clipped a wing mirror, causing her to catapult head-first into the road. She was knocked unconscious by the fall and was taken to the ERI with facial injuries.
One resident, who was standing outside the restaurant when people spotted the flames, said: "The girl fell off her bike outside the wine shop next door and lots of people had gathered
Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue Service said 40 firefighters were at the scene.
The restaurant is on the ground floor of a three-storey building. A spokesman for the fire service said there were no reports of casualties."

Date of invasion: Summer 2000
INVASION OF AVIGNON | THE CAMO INVASION
The reason that Invader has chosen to camoflate his art work in space invaders was for tactical reasons. He was invited to participate in a big art festival in Avignon (“La Beauté”, Summer 2000) for which he wanted to invade the city and to make a map of the invasion. But a few weeks before Invader wanted to start he received a phone call from the festival organization asking him to change his plans because Avignon was a very old city with a lot of listed historical buildings that Invader was not allowed to invade.
Invader’s idea was to invade it anyway but to turn it into a special camo invasion. This basis were that that the Space Invaders were made with the same color as the walls. (Invader 2001 from an interview)
Score Table: Invasion Wave: 01, Invaders: 41, Points: 0660
As I don’t know the identity numbers Invader was using I chose to number them in the order I found them. These are listed in brackets above with the hashtag. Photos are taken on the 31/05, 01/06 or on 05/06 when we revisited Avignon during the day. In total I found 22 from the 41 (53 %).

A family mystery solved on Armistice Day 2014 ... Grandma always recalled Tommy Bonney on Remembrance Day because he had "died with in 24 hours of it". But researching the records, showed he died aged 22, killed in action 31 March 1918..
Research in the Durham Light Infantry archives shows he served from 15 September 1914, promoted to Sergeant in October 1916. The last entry shows him as killed in action on 31 March 1918.
This was the last counter attack mounted by 11 DLI to help maintain the line at Thennes in the wake of the German assault. The following day, the remnants of the battalion were pulled out of the line.
So that is the basis of the story of how close he came to surviving the war.
Bonney, Thomas
Sergeant 18688, miner aged 22, from Ouston, near Birtley, killed in action 31 March 1918, buried at Moreuil Communal Cemetery. D Company.
Thomas Bonney enlisted and was medically examined 15 September 1914 at Birtley, Co Durham. He was 5ft 6 ins tall, 152 lbs, chest expansion 2 inches to 36 inches. Fair complexion, blue eyes and light brown hair, and Church of England.
In 1911, he was living at 200 Ouston Square, Birtley. His father was John Bonney, 51, a coal miner hewer. His mother was Jane, known as Jennie, aged 48. He had two older brothers, Richard, 23 and William, 19 (see below), both coal putters. Thomas was a colliery driver, underground. There were two younger brothers, James 9 and Ralph 7, as well as a sister Margaret,13, living at home. From his service records we also know that he had an older, married sister, Annie Henderson aged 33 [in 1919] of 80 C Street East, Pelton, Co Durham.
Served during training from 15 September 1914 to 19 July 1915, leaving for France on 20 July 1915 and serving there until 31 March 1918. Bonney served in D Company, 11 DLI. He was confirmed Corporal in December 1915. He suffered from a bout of influenza from 25 March 1916 to 28 March, being treated by 60th Field Ambulance. On 16 July 1916 he was promoted to Lance Sergeant, and was confirmed as full Sergeant on 22 October 1916, having been originally appointed 29 August.
On 10 April 1917 he was reported ‘D.U.O.’ having been admitted to 62nd Field Ambulance on 24 March 1917. He was sent to 35 IBS on 7 April but was back with his unit on the 12th. There are a number of other pencil notes on his record regarding illnesses but these are illegible. The last entry shows him as killed in action on 31 March 1918. This was the last counter attack mounted by 11 DLI to help maintain the line at Thennes in the wake of the German assault. The following day, the remnants of the battalion were pulled out of the line.
The last dated item in the file is a letter dated 22 July 1920 to his widow Mrs Elizabeth Bonney, Institute Terrace, Ouston, Birtley, Co Durham explaining that his grave had been exhumed and the remains reburied at Moreuil as part of the process of concentration of cemeteries.
His widow, née Lizzie Greener, re-married after the war and moved abroad. Her new family always accepted that Thomas Bonney had been her first love and joined in the commemoration of his death, including to the present generation.
Bonney, William
Lance Corporal 24145 William Bonney, aged 25, from Birtley, was killed in action 20 September 1917, and buried at Cement House Cemetery, Langemarck. His service records have not survived, but he was the older brother of Sergeant Thomas Bonney. He was the husband of Margaret Jane Bonney of 298 North Street, Ouston, Pelton, Co Durham.
At the time of William Bonney’s death, 11 DLI were based on the Yser Canal Bank at Ypres, helping to consolidate the gains of 20th Division in the capture of Langemarck, and extending their hold on the area round through the capture of Eagle Trench. They were involved both directly in the fighting and in trench consolidation work. Several were killed and wounded and Captain Sear was awarded the MC for his bravery during these actions.

"31 March, Sunday: The (following) day witnessed a similar pattern of events (to the 30th), but this time the lines came under heavy artillery bombardment and with both flanks being turned fell back to a line just south of the River Luce at about 4pm. Captain Pemberton of 11 DLI orgnaised a position on a hill south east of Thennes. The Germans attacked at 4pm, but were repulsed.
The remnants of 6 KSLI and 11 DLI took part with cavalry in a counter-attack and between them the flanks had been secured by 8pm, aided by artillery fire from the dividional command p0ost on higher ground at Domart.
Among the casualties was Captain Endean, who was wounded. Sergeant T Bonney was killed and is buried at Moreuil Communal Cemetery. Lance Corporal John Yates was also killed and is commemorated at Pozieres."
The next day the battalion was withdrawn from the line and taken by bus to Quevauvillers just south west of Amiens to rest. Sgt Bonney missed survival by 24 hours, having previously survived the long and difficult fighting retreat from St Quentin since 21st March. ... Captain Miles describes the remnant of 11 DLI that came out of the line as 'the strength of s strong platoon'.

John Louis Taylor, North Carolina’s first Supreme Court Chief Justice, built Elmwood ca. 1810 on Hillsborough Street just west of Raleigh’s city limits. The 65-acre tract extended west to what is now St. Mary’s School, east to what is now Glenwood Avenue, and north to the Devereux property. The acreage was later acquired by Bradley T. Johnson, who began developing the area as a white, middle class neighborhood in 1880. Elmwood still stands today near the corner of Hillsborough Street and North Boylan Avenue.
