Hillside covered with moais.
This volcano is the quarry of the Moai.
The southeastern edge of this volcano is the birthplace of the iconic moais.
397 unfinished moais lie here in various carving stages. Undoubtedly many others are completely buried.
***
All but 53 of the more than 900 moai known to date were carved from tuff (a compressed volcanic ash) from Rano Raraku, where 394 moai in varying states of completion are still visible today. There are also 13 moai carved from basalt, 22 from trachyte and 17 from fragile red scoria. At the end of carving, the builders would rub the statue with pumice.

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)

The CFT assesses physical capacity in a broad spectrum of combat-related tasks. Wright, 19, from Sneedville, Tenn., and Jones, 22, from Orlando, Fla., are scheduled to graduate July 3, 2013. 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 for females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Caitlin Brink)

The last Avignon space invader I encountered. A well camouflated one at the Office du Tourisme on the Cours Jean Jaurès. There must be a few more well preserved space invaders but the factor time and priorities kept me from it to search further in this beautiful city.

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.

— Kohima Epitaph by Major John Etty-Leal
"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.

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.
Red Weasel Media was sitting on the baseline to capture all of the high flying action.

13th Air Assault Support Regiment Pvt. Amos Adongo, 22, from Ghana, covers his ears as test shots are fired by forces preparing to protect a convoy of vehilce in the desert prior to an operation to deliver supplies to several British Army Forward Operating bases (FOB) in Helmand Province on July 15, 2008 at their base in Camp Bastion in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The 13th Air Assault Support Regiment provides logistic support to the multi-national force in Helmand Province. The British drivers navigate hostile desert terrain to deliver combat supplies, ammunitions, food, water and engineering equipment. During a recent operation, drivers spent 48 hours avoiding enemy forces, mine fields and indirect fire. On return to Camp Bastion, vehicles are serviced immediately for further operations leaving little recreational time for the British soldiers who work in heat reaching 54 degrees celcius and drive on terrain without recognizable roads.
Ford Motor Company Fund returned as sole sponsor of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium, marking its 10th year with the title “Moving Forward: The State of the Industry.” The annual event was held Thursday, Feb. 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The event was free to the public.
A portion of Ford’s sponsorship will be directed to support community programs, including a $10,000 grant to Duke Media Foundation.
Last year, the film entertainment industry set a record with box office receipts totaling $11 billion. Black filmmakers, including an increased number of black film directors and actors starring in lead roles, as well as gripping feature films and moving historical pieces all played a role in this unprecedented success.
“Ford is proud to be working again with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium to showcase a renaissance in black film at all levels,” said Pamela Alexander, director of community development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “We congratulate the award-winning Bill Duke and Duke Media Foundation for their work in developing media and financial literacy programs to prepare inner-city and gifted high school students for the new digital media age.”
The event focused on whether this newfound success was due to a broader industry trend or the achievement of a new stronghold for blacks in the film industry. More than 300 people including Hollywood entertainers, NAACP board members, members of the NAACP Image Awards’ committee and television academy, as well as film and television students from local colleges and universities convened for this event. They also engaged in the question and answer session by directly addressing the panel participants with various inquiries. All panelists encourage aspiring artists to persevere and learn to perfect their craft.
Panel participants included humanitarian/activist/director Bill Duke, CAA agent Cameron Mitchell, senior vice president of production for Columbia Tristar Pictures Devon Franklin, and author and producer Flo McAfee. Ramsey Jay Jr., nationally renowned writer, interviewer and producer, served as panel moderator.
The Hollywood Bureau Symposium was one of several popular events held during Image Awards week. The 45th NAACP Image Awards aired Saturday, Feb. 22, from 9 to 11 p.m. on TV One. Check local listings for encore broadcasts.

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 %).

Ford Motor Company Fund returned as sole sponsor of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium, marking its 10th year with the title “Moving Forward: The State of the Industry.” The annual event was held Thursday, Feb. 20, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. The event was free to the public.
A portion of Ford’s sponsorship will be directed to support community programs, including a $10,000 grant to Duke Media Foundation.
Last year, the film entertainment industry set a record with box office receipts totaling $11 billion. Black filmmakers, including an increased number of black film directors and actors starring in lead roles, as well as gripping feature films and moving historical pieces all played a role in this unprecedented success.
“Ford is proud to be working again with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau Symposium to showcase a renaissance in black film at all levels,” said Pamela Alexander, director of community development, Ford Motor Company Fund. “We congratulate the award-winning Bill Duke and Duke Media Foundation for their work in developing media and financial literacy programs to prepare inner-city and gifted high school students for the new digital media age.”
The event focused on whether this newfound success was due to a broader industry trend or the achievement of a new stronghold for blacks in the film industry. More than 300 people including Hollywood entertainers, NAACP board members, members of the NAACP Image Awards’ committee and television academy, as well as film and television students from local colleges and universities convened for this event. They also engaged in the question and answer session by directly addressing the panel participants with various inquiries. All panelists encourage aspiring artists to persevere and learn to perfect their craft.
Panel participants included humanitarian/activist/director Bill Duke, CAA agent Cameron Mitchell, senior vice president of production for Columbia Tristar Pictures Devon Franklin, and author and producer Flo McAfee. Ramsey Jay Jr., nationally renowned writer, interviewer and producer, served as panel moderator.
The Hollywood Bureau Symposium was one of several popular events held during Image Awards week. The 45th NAACP Image Awards aired Saturday, Feb. 22, from 9 to 11 p.m. on TV One. Check local listings for encore broadcasts.

Marine body bearers from the Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C. (8th and I) conduct military funeral honors with funeral escort for U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Thomas Cooper in Section 57 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., March 10, 2022. Cooper was killed during World War II at age 22.
From the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) press release:
In November 1943, Cooper was a member of Company A, 2nd Amphibious Tractor Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, Fleet Marine Force, which landed against stiff Japanese resistance on the small island of Betio in the Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands, in an attempt to secure the island. Over several days of intense fighting at Tarawa, approximately 1,000 Marines and Sailors were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded, while the Japanese were virtually annihilated. Cooper died on the first day of the battle, Nov. 20, 1943. He was reportedly buried on Betio Island.
Despite the heavy casualties suffered by U.S. forces, military success in the battle of Tarawa was a huge victory for the U.S. military because the Gilbert Islands provided the U.S. Pacific Fleet a platform from which to launch assaults on the Marshall and Caroline Islands to advance their Central Pacific Campaign against Japan.
In the immediate aftermath of the fighting on Tarawa, U.S. service members who died in the battle were buried in a number of battlefield cemeteries on the island. The 604th Quartermaster Graves Registration Company conducted remains recovery operations on Betio between 1946 and 1947, but Cooper’s remains were not identified. All of the remains found on Tarawa were sent to the Schofield Barracks Central Identification Laboratory for identification in 1947.
In March 1980, the Central Identification Laboratory, a predecessor to DPAA, sent officials to Betio Island to receive skeletal remains that had been recovered during a construction project. Of the three sets recovered, two were identified. The third was declared unidentifiable and was subsequently buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu.
In 2016, DPAA disinterred the remains of 94 Tarawa Unknowns from the NMCP for identification. The remains were consolidated and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
To identify Cooper’s remains, scientists from DPAA used dental and anthropological analysis. Additionally, scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and Y-chromosome DNA (Y-STR) analysis.
Cooper was officially accounted for on Aug. 9, 2019. His daughter, Virginia Frogel, received the flag from his service.

Looking immaculate following a good wash and brush-up in the Londoner Buses yard in Wandsworth, former London General RML 2290 is seen after its arrival at Waterloo station with the vehicle about to undertake another outward journey on Heritage Service A towards the likes of Westminster, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus on the early afternoon of Tuesday 21st February 2023. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s RML 2290 was the worst vehicle in Putney Garage's Routemaster allocation as back then its Iveco engine was vastly underpowered, where climbing up Putney Hill on route 14 with a full load was always a painfully slow affair. Since then RML 2290 has still retained its original 1990s Iveco engine but it has since received a major tune-up with the engine performing with a good turn of power and speed compared to the sluggish performer it was some 20-odd years ago when RML 2290 operated on routes 14 and 22 from Putney into London's bustling West End. Upon its last major overhaul at Aldenham Works RML 2290 carries the former body from RML 2377.

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
