The Cornwall brothers who established their ranch, "Ashcroft" in 1862, came originally from the village of Ashcroft in Gloucestershire, where their father had been vicar. When the CPR adopted the name Ashcroft for their station just east of the ranch (and what would become the townsite), the Cornwall's added "Manor" to the name of their home, making it Ashcroft Manor.

 

Ashcroft was founded in the 1860s, during the Cariboo Gold Rush, by two English brothers named Clement Francis Cornwall and Henry Pennant Cornwall, founders of Ashcroft Ranch, who emigrated to Canada from Ashcroft, at Newington Bagpath in Gloucestershire. The brothers had originally come in search of gold; however, on hearing stories from failed gold searchers they decided to found the town to give future gold searchers a place to saddle their horses. They sold flour to packers and miners, helping to make the community. Ashcroft was a major stop for trains, where mining supplies were dropped off.

 

- from 1908 "Lovell's Gazetteer of the Dominion of Canada" - ASHCROFT STATION, a post settlement and railroad depot on the C.P.R., in Yale co., B.C., about midway between Lytton and Kamloops, and 200 miles east of Vancouver. It is on the Thompson River, has a dry climate and light atmosphere, the surrounding district being excellent grazing land, on which much farming is done by irrigation and considerable stock raised. Ashcroft is the entrepot to the Cariboo district, via stage line to Barkerville, a distance of 287 miles. The village has a fine electric light plant and good water system; it has also 3 churches (Anglican, Presbyterian and Methodist), 10 stores, 3 hotels, 1 bank, 1 saw mill, 1 printing and newspaper office ("Ashcroft Journal"), besides express and telegraph offices. The population in 1908 was 500.

 

(from 1918 - Wrigley's British Columbia directory) - Ashcroft - on the main line, C. P. R. and C. N. R., 204 miles east of Vancouver, in the Provincial Electoral District of Yale. Dominion and Canadian Northern Express. Altitude, 1,004 ft. Centre of the irrigated belt and noted particularly for its famous potatoes and beans. Stock-raising and mining. The population in 1918 was 500.

 

Ashcroft Station was an early settlement. Before the railway was established, Ashcroft Manor was a stopping point on the Cariboo Road. The post office was originally in the local store but was moved to the station. It was established - 1 March 1886. The name was shortened to Ashcroft - 1 April 1899.

The life story of Robert Samuel Pyke - (written in 1914) - ROBERT SAMUEL PYKE - One of the most widely known and popular traveling salesmen of British Columbia is Robert Samuel Pyke, representing the Gutta-percha & Rubber, Ltd. He has visited every section of the province and there is no man who has a more intimate knowledge of conditions and of the development and progress of this western section of the Dominion. He was born in Addington county, Ontario, April 30, 1861, a son of James and Martha (Stevenson) Pyke, both natives of Belfast, Ireland. The father was actively and successfully engaged in the shoe business in Addington county for many years, and in fact was identified with the shoe trade throughout his entire life. Both he and his wife passed away many years ago in Ontario. In the public schools of his native county Robert Samuel Pyke pursued his education to the age of fifteen years, when he entered his father's store, there continuing for a few years. In 1881 he came to Winnipeg and joined a surveying party, going thence to Portage la Prairie. From that point they walked to the present site of the town of Brandon, and Mr. Pyke has the distinction of having staked the first tent ever pitched by a white man on that townsite. He also helped to make a survey of the town, at which place the party arrived on the 26th of May, 1881. After spending the summer in Manitoba he went to Colorado, where he remained for one season, working in the shoe business. In the spring of 1882 he returned to Ontario, going to Kingston, out of which city he traveled as a salesman for leather and findings. Mr. Pyke continued in that business until 1890, when he came to Vancouver and joined his brother, J. A. Pyke, in the ownership and conduct of a retail shoe business. That association was maintained for twelve years, at the end of which time R. S. Pyke withdrew and associated himself with the Vancouver Rubber Company, Ltd., which on the first of January, 1913, was reorganized under the name of the Gutta-percha & Rubber, Ltd. Since becoming connected with the Vancouver Rubber Company he has traveled throughout the province from the international boundary to the Alaskan line and from the Alberta border to the Pacific coast. He covers this entire province twice yearly, and few men have known this vast area better in its primitive state and throughout, its various stages of development and advancement than Mr. Pyke. He is popular with the many patrons whom he has won for the corporation which he represents and is everywhere regarded as an enterprising, alert and progressive business man a splendid representative of commercial interests. In Kingston, Ontario, on the 27th of January, 1886, Mr. Pyke was united in marriage to Miss Kate Perdaux, of Belleville, Ontario, and they have one son, J. Loren, now a law student in the office of Burns & Walkem. The parents are active and faithful members of the Wesley Methodist church, of which Mr. Pyke is one of the board of governors. He has always been a conservative, active in politics and municipal affairs. In Vancouver he was made chairman of Ward Conservative Association and has since filled the intermediate offices until he is now president of the Vancouver Conservative Association for 1913. He is now serving his fourth year as a member of the board of license commissioners, during the first two years as a government appointee and during the last two by election of the people. His public record is most commendable, indicating his devotion to the general welfare and his loyalty to all that works for the betterment of city and province. He is also widely known in fraternal circles. Since 1891 he has been a member of the Independent Order of Foresters and has ever taken an active part in the work of that society. He was first elected high chief ranger of the high court of British Columbia and was active in its formation. He represented this province at two supreme court conventions, one at Los Angeles, California, in 1898, and the other in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1902. He is a typical representative of his age and district. He carries forward to successful completion whatever he undertakes and as the years go by his labors have been effective forces for success not only in business lines but in behalf of municipal advancement and general improvement.

Addressed to: Edwin J. Dingle, / 2nd Street at Hobart Blvd. / Los Angeles, California, / U.S.A.

 

Edwin John Dingle (b. April 6, 1881 - d. January 28, 1972 at age 90) was an English journalist, publisher, author, and mystical guru. Dingle was born in Cornwall but orphaned at just 9. He studied to become a journalist, moving to Singapore in 1900 to cover the Far East. He traveled extensively in China and was involved with the early days of publishing in Shanghai. From Shanghai and Singapore, he also published several early maps of China, Shanghai, the The New Atlas and Commercial Gazetteer of China, and several books on the history of China. In 1910, Dingle traveled to Tibet, where he reportedly studied under a Tibetan 'spiritual master' and Lama. On his return from Tibet, he witnessed the 1911 Xinhai Revolution, observing events in both Wuhan and Shanghai, as well as the brutal attacks on Hankou and Hanyang. After some 21 years in China, Dingle relocated to Oakland California, where he lived in seclusion meditating and practicing his own version of Pranayama in pursuit of mystical powers, extrasensory perception, and spiritual development. There Dingle founded the Institute of Mentalphysics in 1933-34, styling himself President and Preceptor Emeritus. The institute was well financed and hired the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design a near 400-acre campus in Joshua Tree. At the institute he called himself by his adopted Chinese name, Ding Le Mei (丁乐梅). Dingle died in 1972 in California.

174 Commercial Road . R & L were present at this address from at least 1956.

In his Farewell Address to the nation in 1796, President George Washington warned Americans to not think among party lines, to be bigger than that. Washington wanted to serve only four years, but the rancor between Alexander Hamilton (Federalist) and Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) in his cabinet was so bad that he found himself having to serve another four years as U.S. President to calm the waters and give America a firmer foundation. As he left office, Washington warned Americans to beware of the tribalism and populism that political parties unleashed. Exacerbating sectional differences (e.g. North and South, farm and city), political parties serve not the nation but themselves. They divide the social fabric within the country for their own gain. America's first President warned that parties could encroach and erode democratic systems. Unlike the new Republic, they weren't built to check despotism, even when competing with each other. In other words, a party wants to win power. Institutionally, it would not mind finally having a despot rule the country in perpetuity as long as the ruler was its despot.

 

Below is what President George Washington said to the nation.

 

 

"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally.

 

This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.

 

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

 

Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

 

It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.

 

There is an opinion, that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in Governments of a Monarchical cast, Patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And, there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.

 

It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution, in those intrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the Guardian of the Public Weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way, which the constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for, though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield.”

Nietzsche addresses the concept of simulacrum (but does not use the term) in the Twilight of the Idols, suggesting that most philosophers, by ignoring the reliable input of their senses and resorting to the constructs of language and reason, arrive at a distorted copy of reality. Put me in mind of neo-censorship and accompanying texts written to obfuscate, overpower, confuse and baffle while boasting of the writer's self importance.

ITU/Rowan Farrell

I met Raneem in Bad Marienberg. Immediately I realized that I had to address Raneem to become part of the Human Family project. To "convince" Raneem, I showed my Photo-Stream on my smartphone. And really, Raneem agreed.

However, Raneem wanted to do some make-up, so we arranged for the next day at the same place and time.24 hours later, I was able to start my "work" on the project.

First, I took the portrait photos. Raneem was very relaxed and it was easy to photograph her. We had the opportunity to try different backgrounds. She was so patient during the photosoot. Then I was allowed to ask Raneem a few more questions.

 

Raneem is 19 years young and lives here for 3 years in Bad Marienberg. Her homeland is Syria, more precisely, Damascus. Raneem and her family have had to leave their original homeland because of the war in Syria. First, Raneem's brother set out on a dangerous way across the Balkan route to Germany. Raneem and her family hold on in Egypt. Because Raneem's brother was under the age of 18, his family was allowed to come to Germany. So Raneem has arrived here in Bad Marienberg.

 

Ranneems career aspirations is to become a make-up artist. However, this can not be realized now. So Raneem has been working as a waitress in a very cool cafe-bar for the past year. Here she was able to learn German very well, so that we could now talk easily. From 1st August, Raneem will start training as a florist here in Bad Marienberg. In addition, Raneem wants to continue working in the cafe.

I asked Raneem how she would describe herself. I am calm, patient and hardworking, was her answer. I like i,t when there is a lot to do in the cafe and are many people there.

 

Raneem's hobby in spare time is working on her make-up skills and dancing. Then she dances with her friends at home. Raneem also loves quiet music and music from France.

 

Raneem's biggest dream is that her country is back to what it was before the war. Would you go back to Syria when the war is over, I asked. Raneem thought for a moment and replied that she would stay here in Germany furthermore.

 

My next to last question was where Raneem sees herself in 10 years. "I hope to continue living here in Germany, to be a mother (I love children) and to be able to practice my dream job, make-up artist", she answered.

 

My last question to Raneem was, if she has a life motto? Yes and indeed: Love for life brings happiness and all the beauty that seeks for it.

 

A nice conclusion, I think. At this point we finished our little interview. I still showed Raneem how to find myself in the social media platforms, we shook hands and I said goodbye.

Thank you, Raneem for your time and your open answers. I am very glad that you are now part of the Human Family project. I wish you with the deep from my heart that the war in your country is finally coming to an end and that your wishes and hopes will fulfill. I wish you all the best for your future in Germany.

 

Thank you so much.

 

This is my 78rd post to the group "The Human Family". (Before 100 postings I have had in the group "100 Strangers") More photos of other photographers of the group "The Human Family" can be found here:

Ich traf Raneem in Bad Marienberg. Sofort war mir klar dass ich Raneem ansprechen muss damit sie Teil des Human Family Projektes wird.

Um Raneem zu überzeugen, zeigte ich meinen Photo Stream auf meinem Smartphone. Und wirklich, Raneem stimmte zu. Allerdings wollte Raneem sich noch etwas schminken, so dass wir uns für den nächsten Tag an gleicher Stelle und gleicher Zeit verabredeten.

24 Stunden später konnte ich mit meiner "Arbeit" am Projekt beginnen. Zuerst machte ich die Porträtfotos. Dabei war Raneem sehr entspannt und es war einfach sie zu fotografieren. Wir hatten die Möglichkeit auch verschiedene Hintergründe zu probieren. Hier zeigte sich, wie geduldig und liebenswert Raneem war. Anschließend durfte ich Raneem noch ein paar Fragen stellen.

 

Raneem ist 19 Jahre jung und lebt hier seit 3 Jahren in Bad Marienberg. Ihre Heimat ist jedoch Syrien, genauer gesagt, Damaskus. Raneem und Ihre Familie haben wegen des Krieges in Syrien ihre ursprüngliche Heimat verlassen müssen. Zuerst machte Raneems Bruder sich auf den gefährlichen Flucht über die Balkanroute nach Deutschland. Raneem und ihre Familie harrten in der Zeit in Ägypten aus. Da der Bruder von Raneem unter 18 Jahre alt war, durfte seine Familie nach Deutschland nachkommen. So ist Raneem jetzt hier in Bad Marienberg angekommen.

Ranneems Berufswusch ist, Visagistin zu werden. Das läßt sich allerdings jetzt noch nicht verwirklichen. So hat Raneem das letzte Jahr bis jetzt als Kellnerin in einer sehr coolen Café-Bar gearbeitet. Hierbei hat sie sehr gut Deutsch lernen können, so dass wir uns jetzt problemlos unterhalten konnten. Ab 1. August beginnt Raneem eine Ausbildung zur Floristin hier in Bad Marienberg. Zusätzlich will Raneem weiter in dem Café arbeiten.

Ich fragte Raneem, wie sie sich beschreiben würde. Ich bin ruhig, geduldig und fleißig, war ihre Antwort. Sie mag es, wenn in dem Cafe viel zu tun ist und viele Menschen dort sind.

In ihrer Freizeit beschäftigt sich Raneem mit Make-up und Tanzen. Sie tanzt dann zuhause mit ihren Freundinnen. Raneem liebt aber auch ruhige Musik und Musik aus Frankreich.

Raneems größter Traum ist, dass ihr Land wieder so ist, wie vor dem Krieg. Würdest du wieder nach Syrien zurück gehen, wenn der Krieg vorbei ist, fragte ich. Raneem überlegte kurz und antwortete, dass sie trotzdem dann hier in Deutschland bleiben würde.

Meine vorletzte Frage war, wo sich Raneem in 10 Jahren sieht. Ich hoffe, dann weiter hier in Deutschland zu leben, Mutter zu sein (ich liebe Kinder) und meinen Traumberuf, Visagistin, ausüben zu können.

Meine letzte Frage an Raneem war, ob sie ein Lebensmotto habe? Ja und zwar:

Liebe zum Leben bringt Glück und alles Schöne, das danach sucht.

Ein schöner Schlußsatz, wie ich finde. An dieser Stelle beendeten wir unser kleines Interview. Ich zeigte Raneem noch, wie ich in den Social Media Plattformen zu finden bin, wir schüttelten die Hände und ich verabschiedete mich.

 

Vielen Dank, Raneem für deine Zeit und deine offenen Antworten. Ich bin sehr froh, dass du jetzt Teil des Human-Family-Projektes bist. Ich wünsche dir aus tiestem Herzen, dass der Krieg in deinem Land endlich zu Ende geht und dass sich deine Wünsche und Hoffnungen erfüllen. Alles alles Gute für deine Zukunft in Deutschland. Tausend Dank.

President George Washington thought political parties were self-serving tyrants that exacerbated tribal and regional differences for their own benefit at the expense of the country, e.g. North or South, city or rural. In his farewell address, America's first outgoing President asked Americans to step outside the hypnotic spell, which he called the "awe", of political parties and party leaders in order to serve the greater good of the country and its citizen government. "Unawed" would mean carefully deliberated, uninfluenced by party hyperbole and seduction. Washington declared to his fellow countrymen:

 

"This government, the offspring of our own choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribution of its powers, uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support. Respect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the established government.

 

All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests.

 

However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

*Working Towards a Better World

 

Medical care is extremely important for pregnant women and girls. The number of teenage pregnancies has increased over the years and many times teenagers do not research their pregnancy or take care of themselves properly. It is our duty to help them, especially when their parents are not involved. We need to educate both girls and boys about sex and pregnancy at an early age and discuss it openly so that the young are more knowledgeable and prepared. Prenatal care is of the utmost importance for a healthy mother and child. Unfortunately there are many unintended pregnancies which causes heartbreak and health problems. The complications in pregnancy such as miscarriages, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy and still births can be helped by early diagnosis. The number of single parents has increased recently and surely we can address this problem and change these statistics.

 

We also have to address the number of children born with disabilities whether mental or physical these children require a huge amount of medical assistance some throughout their lives.

 

We should assist everyone through education and making available quality healthcare for all worldwide.

Washington State, South and east of Colfax. Parvin Road east of address 5004 1 mile. Gable roof style with lean-to.

After five minutes racing to the address I arrive and the lights are on in the apartment, no sign of Barry though. I exit the bat-mobile as it’s automated systems have it retreat into an alley and seal itself off from outside interference. Slowly, I approach the entrance to the apartment and I hear Barry’s voice behind the door. He sounds calm, and a teenage voice can heard talking to him.

 

I open the door and enter the apartment. The teenager is wearing a batman t-shirt. Oh great he’s one of those.

 

“Told you he’d come.”

 

“OH MY GOD IT’S YOU! YOU’RE BATMAN!”

 

I give Barry a glare. What has he just led me into?

 

“Yes. I am.”

 

“Wow no-one is going to believe tomorrow when I tell them! Can I have your autograph?”

 

“No. Now tell me. Where are they?”

 

“Where are who?”

 

“The girls.”

 

“What girls?”

 

“The girls you’ve abducted! Where are they!”

 

“I don’t know anything about any girls!”

 

I grab hold of the boy by his shirt and lift him off the floor. Barry stands up and grabs hold of my right arm.

 

“Batman put him down.”

  

“Stay out of this Flash. I’ll show you how you get scum like this to talk.”

 

“No! Look at his arms!”

 

I look at the boys arms expecting a scar or bandage of some sort from where the sixth girl cut him with the glass shard from the broken window. Nothing. Not a mark in sight. He’s not the one. I quickly release the boy and back away from him. I’ve clearly frightened him.

 

“But that doesn’t make sense. It has to be you.”

 

“It isn’t! Look at me! I struggle to hold a baseball bat let alone carry away a sixteen-year-old girl against her own will! Anyone of them would easily walk all over me! In fact they did…”

 

Barry’s face quickly turns from one of gloating directed at me to one of concern.

 

“What?”

 

“Those girls. The ones that have been abducted. All of them bullied me at school at some point.”

 

“How come?”

 

“My skin is like paper. It cuts easily and thanks to my von Willebrand disease I spurt out a lot more blood than a normal teen would. At each school I’d accidentally get cut and bleed non-stop and I ended up freaking out most of the girls because I wouldn’t’ stop bleeding. “

 

“Go on.” I say from a corner of the apartment being sure to keep my distance to not unnerve the young man.

 

“Well after that the girls took to mocking me because I couldn’t help it. I got called all sorts of names. The squirt. Aquaman’s period. Super-squirt. You name it I got called it.”

 

“That’s terrible. How did you deal with it?”

 

“I didn’t. My Mom ended up just moving me from school to school but it kept happening over and over again.”

 

“Where is your Mother? I’d of thought she’d of woken up by now.”

 

“She’s had to work late nights this week. Says she’s covering for someone who’s on vacation at work. She says she blames herself for my von Willebrand disease. Apparently I inherited it from her.”

  

At the moment Michael said that, Barry looked over at me and I nodded my head as I saw headlights pull up in the parking lot of the apartment complex. Sure enough out of the car emerged Michaels Mother who entered the apartment to a big surprise to see Barry and I stood before her.

 

“Michael sweety, what’s going on?”

 

“Mom this is Batman and the Flash, they’re investigating the disappearance of some of the girls that have been picking on me.”

 

“What? Why would someone do such a thing?”

 

“I think we should be asking you, Mrs Harlot.” Barry says. Clearly he’s noticed the bandage on her left arm.

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Your bandage. You wouldn’t of happened to of cut yourself on a piece of glass from a window by chance?”

 

The Mother’s expression quickly turns making it clear that she knows we’ve figured out that it was her that’s behind all of this. She makes a run to leave the apartment but Barry blocks the door before she can escape. She panics and goes to pull out a needle of some sort and attempts to jab Barry but I launch my bat-claw at her and pull her towards me. I knock the needle out of her hands and grab hold of both her arms. I deliberately keep the pressure I apply to her left arm light to start with.

 

“The girls. Where are they?”

 

“Mom what have you done?”

 

“I did it for you Michael. To punish them for what they did to you. AHHHHH!”

 

I increase the pressure of my grip on her left arm.

 

“The girls. Where are they. Talk. Now”

 

“I won’t talk. Those whores deserve to die for what they did to my Michael. ARHHHHH!”

 

I apply even more pressure. Yet still she refuses to talk. The boy is starting to become distressed by this whole situation, he’s not happy with the pain I’m putting his Mother through. As much as I don’t want to do this it is necessary in order to find the missing girls. I squeeze harder.

 

“ARRRRHHHH”

 

“Mom!”

 

“Batman. That’s enough.”

 

“Not until she talks.”

 

“Mom!”

 

“ARRRRRHHHHH”

 

“Stop it please you’re hurting her! Please!”

 

The boy begins to cry and Barry races in and pulls my hand off her wound to stop her screaming. He whispers quietly into my ear so the other two don’t hear.

 

“Batman that’s enough. You’ve gone too far.”

 

I know that I may have crossed the line a bit with how far I went, but for what she has done she deserved the pain. I only feel regret for having to put her son through it.

 

“Mom please tell it isn’t true.”

 

There is a long silent pause.

 

“Mom please!”

 

“I did it for you Michael.”

 

“No!”

 

Barry approaches the boy and comforts him as he breaks down crying at the shock of the horror his Mother has done whilst she keeps her eyes fixed on me. Clearly my actions have scared her. Good. Scum like her deserves it.

 

“It’s alright Michael. It’s all going to be ok.”

 

Barry says this as he comforts the boy.

 

“Where are the girls.”

 

Still she remains quiet. The boy sees this and is clearly distraught about what his Mother claims to of done in his name. He stands up and approaches her.

 

“Mom. Where are they.”

 

“…..”

 

“Mom please. Where are they?”

 

“In the hell they deserve to be.”

 

“Please Mom, I know you’re not like this. Where are they?”

 

The boy is about to start crying again and Barry has walked up behind him and puts his hand on the boys shoulder.

 

“Dixon Docks. Warehouse 24. Basement.”

 

I sharply turn to look at Barry and nod at him. With that I race out of the apartment and jump into the bat-mobile and race to Dixon Docks to free the girls. If this woman has been so keen to punish these girls for what they’ve done to her son there’s no telling what danger they might be in. With in six minutes I’ve arrived and I quickly jump out of the bat-mobile and race into the warehouse. I can hear the sirens of the GPCD’s police cars arriving at the scene thanks to my call to Jim upon getting in the bat-mobile no doubt they’ll soon be arriving at the apartment where Barry is to take the boys Mother away.

 

--------------------------------------

The girls location has been revealed and their kidnapper exposed, but will Batman make it to them in time? What will happen to young Michael and his Mother?

 

Tune in tomorrow to find out! Same bat-time, same bat-photostream.

Portraits of Artists

 

The invention of photography ushered in the age of celebrity, eventually making it possible to distribute thousands—even millions—of pictures of notable people throughout the world. Artists and writers, like stage performers, political leaders, and others, quickly learned that photographs were an indispensable tool to fashion their public identities and spread their fame. Face to Face presents a sampling from out extraordinary collection of photographic portraits of artists, including painters, dancers, sculptors, poets, novelists, singers and other creative people from the past century and more. Among these are groupings about five artists who shrewdly mined the medium’s potential to represent them as the artists they wished to be: Thomas Eakins, Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O’Keeffe, Marcel Duchamp, and Frido Kahlo.

 

Large groups of portraits by Arnold Newman and Carl Van Vechten anchor the exhibition. Works by these two artists are key to our photography holdings: The Museum’s first-ever photography exhibition, in 1945, was a show of Newman’s contemporary portraits, titled Artists Look Like This. In 1965 we received a gift of more than 12,000 photographs by Van Vechten, a novelist and social butterfly who studiously recorded almost everyone he knew, including hundreds of African American artists.

 

The Philadelphia Museum of Art prides itself on being a place for artists—a site where they can encounter works of art that are touchstones for their own creativity, and a loving storehouse for their greatest achievements. So these wonderful portraits feel a little bit like family photos that we’re excited to share with you.
