Espacios Bioseguros
“Necesitamos tomar medidas preventivas de forma urgente bajo el paradigma del uso de las mejores tecnologías”
Luis de la Fuente Ramírez, presidente de ABQ, presentó Espacios Bioseguros junto al decano del Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (COBCM), Ángel Fernández Ipar, como “un concepto en el que destacamos una serie de medidas de prevención para la población general por medio de un conjunto de soluciones tecnológicas para prevenir y minimizar los riesgos de contagio en, por ejemplo, espacios interiores, medios de transporte y otros, con el objetivo de controlar los agentes contaminantes de una forma eficaz y sostenible desde el punto de vista medioambiental y económico”. Por otro lado, “los profesionales debemos de controlar de forma eficaz los riesgos de contagio, tanto en las superficies como en el empleo de los materiales de trabajo que utilizamos todos los días”, matizó Ramírez a lo largo de su exposición.
Con motivo del acto de presentación de las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid, los responsables de ABQ dieron a conocer los objetivos de la entidad, así como el proyecto Espacios Bioseguros.
De esta manera, ABQ, entidad europea especializada en bioseguridad, “desea llevar a cabo un protocolo de implantación de un certificado de calidad para garantizar el Espacio Bioseguro en las empresas e instituciones con un 80% de éxito en todos los análisis que hagamos a partir de ahora”, indicaron los responsables de la asociación.
Recordemos que “ABQ ha logrado seleccionar, junto a los colegios de biólogos de las distintas Comunidades Autónomas, soluciones eficientes que han sido contrastadas por la NASA”, concluyó Ramírez.
De esta manera, la asociación ABQ participó en las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad de Madrid, organizadas por el Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad de Madrid (COBCM) con el patrocinio de la Consejería de Educación y la colaboración de la Universidad Complutense, Universidad Autónoma y Editorial Santillana.

“Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Barrels and The Mastaba 1958–2018
Summary:
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are celebrated for their ambitious sculptural works that intervene in urban and natural landscapes around the world and temporarily alter both the physical form and visual appearances of sites. This summer, in the heart of London, the Serpentine Galleries presents a major exhibition of the artists’ work, which draws upon their use of barrels to create artworks. Simultaneously, Christo presents The London Mastaba, Serpentine Lake, Hyde Park 2016 - 2018, a temporary floating sculpture on The Serpentine lake.
Detail:
The London Mastaba is Christo’s first outdoor, public work in the UK. The sculpture and exhibition offer an unprecedented opportunity for visitors to experience Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s work.
Born on the same day in 1935 in Gabrovo, Bulgaria and Casablanca, Morocco respectively, Christo and his late wife Jeanne-Claude, who died in 2009, began their collaboration in 1961 and their many celebrated public projects include Wrapped Coast, Sydney, Australia (1968-69), Wrapped Reichstag, Berlin (1971-1995); The Gates, Central Park, New York City (1979-2005); and more recently The Floating Piers on Italy’s Lake Iseo (2014-2016).
Many years in the planning, Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s outdoor projects generate an extensive archive of preparatory material detailing the organisation and execution of these projects, and those not yet realised. The Serpentine has worked closely with Christo to develop this new exhibition of sculptures, drawings, collages, scale-models and photographs, which spans six decades. It is the Serpentine’s second collaboration with the artist, following Christo’s participation in the 2016 Miracle Marathon.
Since 1958, barrels have been a dominant feature of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s sculptures and installations, which they have erected at varying scales internationally. The exhibition offers new perspectives on Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s career to the large-scale, wrapped and fabric-based works for which they are best known. It also traces the origins of this strand of practice, which began with wrapped paint cans and barrels and the artists’ first temporary public installation in Cologne Harbour in 1961.
The Serpentine exhibition is timed to coincide with Christo’s new temporary sculpture nearby, The London Mastaba, Serpentine Lake, Hyde Park 2016 - 2018. The sculpture takes inspiration from mastabas – benches with two vertical sides, two slanted sides and a flat top – which originated with the first ancient civilisations of Mesopotamia. The Serpentine show provides a rich context for this new work, for unrealised barrel projects at sites including the Suez Canal (1967) and MoMA, New York (1968), and plans for Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s most ambitious sculpture yet in the Middle East, which was first conceived in 1977.
A richly-illustrated catalogue by Taschen, titled Christo and Jeanne-Claude: Barrels and the Mastaba 1958-2018, will be published to accompany the exhibition and The London Mastaba in early July, with contributions from Christo, Serpentine Galleries Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist, Paul Goldberger and Adam Blackbourn, and photographs by Wolfgang Volz.
The exhibition is also accompanied by a digital Mobile Tour supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies. The Mobile Tour offers visitors the opportunity to discover more about the exhibition, the sculpture and Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s practice through new audio, video and text content. It also features an interactive map to guide visitors between the various Serpentine sites: Serpentine Gallery, Serpentine Pavilion, Serpentine Sackler Gallery and The London Mastaba. The Mobile Tour is accessible and free for all at sgtours.org.
The London Mastaba, Serpentine Lake, Hyde Park 2016 - 2018
Christo’s first large-scale public sculpture in the UK will float on The Serpentine lake in Hyde Park from 18 June to 23 September. Measuring 20m in height by 30m and 40m, the sculpture consists of 7,506 horizontally stacked barrels, specifically fabricated and painted in shades of red, white, blue and mauve. The proposal for the temporary sculpture included an ecological survey to ensure no damage to the lake or its surroundings. The sculpture is being paid for entirely by the artist and also presents a unique opportunity for enhancements to the conservation area and associated wildlife. As with all of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s projects, The London Mastaba is funded through the sale of Christo’s original works of art. No public money will be used and Christo does not accept sponsorship.
From 10 July, The London Mastaba can also be experienced in virtual reality via the Acute Art app for free. Users can reach an elevation of 30m to look down on the temporary sculpture from a bird’s eye view and see it virtually at different times of day, from sunrise to sunset. Visit the Acute Art Museum on Steam or HTC Viveport for the full interactive experience or download the Acute Art app at Apple Store, Google Play or at sgtours.org. “

Wrapped Forms
Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
Azzedine Alaïa’s innovations in stretch fabrics were at least as important as his elevation of leather. In his hands, these transformed the silhouette of the wearer.
Rather than creating clothes anchored at strategic points – conventionally, the waist and the shoulders – Alaïa’s bandage dresses cling to the wearer’s form, conscious of the entire body. The stretch fabric allows these minimal silhouettes to move freely.
Debuted in 1986, these variations on the ‘Bandelette’ (bandage) dress are clearly inspired by ancient Egyptian mummification, but also perhaps by the swaddling of infants. The garments join Western and Eastern traditions – highly fitted and precision-cut, with a body simply and sensually wrapped in cloth.
The dresses seem simple, but each band of fabric is precisely engineered and cut to specific dimensions, according to its place on the figure. These creations ushered in the notion of physique-delineating ‘bodycon’ dressing, the defining aesthetic of the early 1990s.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

La Malaisie, en forme longue la Fédération de Malaisie, en malais Malaysia, مليسيا, est un pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, constitué de la Malaisie péninsulaire ou Malaisie occidentale (péninsule Malaise) et de la Malaisie orientale (nord de Bornéo). Elle est située à environ 200 km au nord de l'équateur. Sa capitale est Kuala Lumpur et sa superficie est égale à 329 750 km2.
Le pays est composé de deux régions distinctes :
* La Malaisie occidentale ou Malaisie péninsulaire (au sud de la Thaïlande) est divisée du Nord au Sud par une longue chaîne montagneuse dont le point culminant se situe à 2189 m (Mont Tahan) et où subsistent de vastes zones forestières. La côte Ouest est marécageuse et plate, la côte Est est, au contraire, composée de longues plages de sable. Les cultures et plantations sont d'abord situées le long des plaines côtières. Le Nord du pays (Perlis et Kedah) est considéré comme le grenier à riz du pays.
* La Malaisie orientale est composée des territoires du Sarawak et du Sabah et située au Nord de l'Indonésie (Bornéo). Cette partie représente 15 % de la population sur 60 % du territoire. Elle est essentiellement composée de forêts tropicales humides et d'un relief assez élevé (mont Kinabalu, 4100 m).
La Malaisie partage ses frontières terrestres avec le Brunei (381 km), l'Indonésie (1178 km) et la Thaïlande (506 km), et dispose de 4675 km de côtes. Elle est également reliée à Singapour par deux ponts traversant le détroit de Johor.
L'utilisation du nom de « Malaisie » pour désigner la péninsule Malaise est récente. Ce nom est la francisation de Malaya dans l'expression « British Malaya » (Malaisie britannique) de laquelle les Anglais désignaient, à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, les territoires qu'ils contrôlaient sur la péninsule.
Jusqu'en 1912, le nom de « Fédération de Malaisie » ne s'appliquait qu'à l'entité créée en 1946-48 par les Britanniques et devenue indépendante en 1957, « l'Union malaise » (Malayan Union). Celle-ci regroupait, dans la péninsule Malaise, les États malais, qui avaient auparavant le statut de protectorats, et les Strait Settlements, c'est-à-dire les colonies de Malacca, Penang et Singapour.
Lorsque les territoires britanniques de Bornéo, Sabah (British North Borneo) et Sarawak deviennent indépendants en 1963 et acceptent de rejoindre la Malaisie, la nouvelle entité est baptisée du néologisme de « Malaysia ».
En français, « Malaisie » avait à l'origine un autre sens. En 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposait à la Société de géographie de Paris une organisation de l'Océanie en quatre parties :
* la Polynésie (« les nombreuses îles »),
* la Mélanésie (« les îles noires »),
* la Micronésie (« les petites îles ») et
* la Malaisie.
Par ce dernier nom, Dumont d'Urville entendait une région regroupant l'Indonésie, la Malaisie et les Philippines actuelles. À l'époque en effet, on considérait que les habitants de cette région pouvaient être désignés par le terme englobant de « Malais ».
Au sens strict du terme, les Malais sont les populations qui parlent la langue malaise et qui habitent le littoral oriental de l'île de Sumatra, les îles Riau, la péninsule Malaise et le littoral de l'île de Bornéo.
Le traité de Londres de 1824 entre Anglais et Hollandais se traduira par un partage en deux de ce monde malais. On ne saurait donc identifier celui-ci à la seule Malaisie.
Pour éviter la confusion, on utilise le gentilé « malaisien » pour désigner ce qui relève de la Malaisie comme État, le mot « malais » désignant ce qui relève de la langue, de la culture, de l'ethnie, et couvrant donc un territoire plus vaste. Ainsi, l'expression « monde malais » au sens strict désigne l'aire géographique habitée par les Malais et décrite plus haut.
L'État du Pahang est le plus grand de la Malaisie péninsulaire avec 35964 km². Sa capitale est la ville de Kuantan, située sur la côte est de la mer de Chine méridionale.

Three terracotta shells form the body of this Greek aryballos. The shells imitate the form of the edible cockle (Cardium edule). The unknown potter carefully reproduced the radial ridging of the shells and the barely-visible thin stripes of color across the formerly white surface (it was once painted white on top of which the stripes were added). On this vessel, the shells were formed in molds, and then joined at their tops onto a short neck and wheel-made mouth before firing. Originally, three small handles connected the bodies of the shells with the broad, spreading mouth of the vessel, but two are now missing. The handle and mouth are in a dark glaze.
An aryballos was a vessel designed to hold small quantities of perfumed oil. Greek potters often gave this type of vase a representational, almost sculptural form. The idea for creating a shell-shaped terracotta vessel may derive from containers made from real shells. Archaeologists have found shells outfitted with hinges and clasps in order to serve as containers for small items.

You will receive the exact diamonds shown in the photos.
This is a true photo of the raw diamond; the photo has not been retouched or modified in any way.
Since most people are so used to only seeing the polished diamonds in the market, some of you may be surprised that these stones are actually diamonds. But yes, raw diamonds actually come in a variety of different colors, shapes and sizes, and are a delight to the eye!
All the diamonds we sell are real genuine diamonds. The exact same diamonds that are usually cut into polished diamonds.
But don't take our word for it, any 'diamond tester' which can be purchased on Ebay/Amazon for as low as $13 will confirm that. You can also show the diamonds to your local jeweler, and if he has any experience dealing with rough diamonds, he'll be able to attest to that too.
You can mount these uncut diamonds in jewelry as they are, or have them sent to be cut into polished diamonds.
All of our diamonds are 100% naturally mined and haven't been cut, faceted, polished, or undergone any kind of process whatsoever. This makes them ideal for an investment, since while polished diamond prices fluctuate, rough diamonds only appreciate over the years.
Our diamonds are personally guaranteed to be conflict free. We strictly follow the Kimberly Process Procedures to stop conflict diamonds or blood diamonds from entering the market.
You would be getting a Kimberly Process Guarantee in every order.
The Diamonds we sell are in full compliance with the rules and regulations set under the resolutions passed by the United Nations.

Se da a conocer 6 horas antes quien formara el Gabinete. Los Secretarios y Funcionarios de gobierno. Se transmitirá en vivo por Telemax y Canal 12. Publicado por El Imparcial el día Domingo 13 de Septiembre de 2009
Hermosillo, Sonora, Septiembre 13 de 2009.- Un Gobierno abierto, ciudadano, humano y sensible a las necesidades, pero sobre todo que sabrá escuchar a los sonorenses, ofreció Guillermo Padrés Elías, luego de rendir protesta como Gobernador de Sonora para el período 2009-2015. “Vamos a trabajar incansablemente por los sonorenses”, aseguró el Gobernador Padrés Elías, luego de abrir las puertas de Palacio de Gobierno a los ciudadanos que lo acompañaron a recibir las llaves de este recinto. Previamente, en cumplimiento del Artículo 72 de la Constitución Política del Estado de Sonora, Padrés Elías rindió protesta como Gobernador, ante la nueva mesa directiva, presidida por el Diputado Enrique Pesqueira Pellat, donde además estuvo el Gobernador saliente, Eduardo Bours. En esta ceremonia protocolaria, el nuevo Gobernador sonorense estuvo acompañado por su esposa Iveth Dagnino de Padrés, por sus hijos, y por los Senadores Gustavo Madero, Santiago Creel, Ema Larios y Marco Antonio Muñoz. En su oficina de Palacio de Gobierno, el Gobernador Padrés tomó protesta a Héctor Larios y a Alejandro López Caballero, como Secretarios de Gobierno y de Hacienda, respectivamente. En su primera entrevista como Gobernador de Sonora, Padrés Elías aseguró que la entidad será la mejor aliada del Presidente Felipe Calderón para el combate a la pobreza y la inseguridad, y para la promoción de empleos. Agregó que trabajará de la mano con los partidos políticos, para unificarlos por el bien de Sonora. Pidió tiempo a los sonorenses para empezar a darles resultados y cumplir las expectativas. “Decirles que tenemos un gran compromiso con ellos, y pedirles que nos acompañen en estos seis años para construir este nuevo Sonora”, reiteró. Informó que el Procurador General de Justicia, Abel Murrieta, permanecerá unos meses más en el cargo para que haga una entrega muy firme y completa a su sucesor. “El tema de la seguridad es muy importante para el Estado y no la vamos a arriesgar”, aseveró. El Gobernador Padrés aseguró que su antecesor Eduardo Bours siempre será reconocido como un Gobernador que trabajó por los sonorenses.

Guillermo Padrés rindió protesta como gobernador de Sonora para el período 2009-2015.
Hermosillo, Sonora Septiembre 13 del 2009.- A Sonora le llegó la hora. Es tiempo de unidad, de tener un Gobierno de resultados, con valor y con valores, de honrar la confianza de los sonorenses, afirmó el Gobernador Guillermo Padrés Elías,
Acompañado por su esposa Iveth Dagnino de Padrés y de sus hijos Guillermo, Javier, Nicole y Diego, ofreció su primer mensaje como Gobernador Constitucional, agradeciendo a los sonorenses la voluntad y la confianza depositada en su persona, para dirigir el destino de Sonora, señalando que lo asume con orgullo y con gran compromiso.
Ante un lleno total del Centro de Usos Múltiples, Padrés Elías indicó que hoy termina en Sonora un largo tránsito hacia la alternancia democrática y reconoció que el Estado tiene avances, pero todavía no son suficientes, por eso propuso crear en su campaña electoral una nueva etapa para Sonora.
“Hoy iniciamos con elevado ánimo y compromiso esta tarea, a Sonora finalmente le llegó la hora y hoy iniciamos una historia para Sonora, los retos que tenemos por delante son grandes, pero no más grandes que nuestras convicciones, son serios, pero no más que nuestro compromiso y son muchos, pero no más que los sonorenses de bien que anhelamos un mejor futuro para nuestro querido Estado”, subrayó.
Padrés Elías mencionó que los ciudadanos son los dueños de la organización (Gobierno Estatal) a los que habrá de rendir cuentas y los mantendrá informados del uso y destino de sus inversiones, y reiteró que es tiempo soñar y de trabajar unidos en la construcción de un Nuevo Sonora.
Se comprometió a hacer un Gobierno a la altura de los sonorenses; humano, sensible, ciudadano, democrático, institucional y equitativo, y afirmó que desde este día inicia una transformación profunda de las instituciones públicas del Estado, para regresarle a los sonorenses la iniciativa y convertir al Gobierno del Estado en un facilitador e impulsor, nunca más un gobierno absoluto y omnipresente, que ahogue las capacidades de los ciudadanos.
“Aquí frente a ustedes y de mi familia, dejo en prenda mi palabra de que dedicaré sin descanso todos mis esfuerzos, energías y convicciones, honraré la confianza de miles de sonorenses de ayer, de hoy y de mañana, con un Gobierno con resultados, con un gobierno con valor y con valores, tengan la plena seguridad de que no les fallaré”, afirmó.
Estableció siete agendas rectoras en las que fijará la base de su Gobierno para dar resultados a todos los sonorenses, que son: Agenda Ciudadana, Agenda del Futuro, Agenda de Competitividad, Agenda de Igualdad y Equidad, Agenda de Innovación, Agenda de Austeridad y Agenda de Coordinación.
Invitó a los ciudadanos a pensar en grande y los convocó a iniciar juntos la construcción del futuro de Sonora a la altura de la grandeza de la historia, de la grandeza de los sonorenses y a la altura de los compromisos que hizo con ellos por el amor y el cariño del Estado.
El Gobernador Guillermo Padrés Elías estableció, además, el compromiso de trabajar junto con el Presidente Felipe Calderón y hacer de la relación con el Gobierno Federal, su mejor aliado y un ejemplo de coordinación productiva, de trabajo responsable y compartido, e hizo suyo el ejemplo de entrega y valor del Presidente, y reiteró su deseo de sumarse sin titubeos ni condiciones a las tareas para hacer de México y de Sonora, lugares mejores para vivir.
“Hoy los invito a que trabajemos juntos por este querido Sonora y por lo que tanto hemos soñado, para que juntos valoremos y decidamos el rumbo de nuestro Estado, para que juntos construyamos este sueño, ese Nuevo Sonora que todos queremos y que todos merecemos, desde hoy lo podemos lograr, Sonora es fuerte, muy fuerte, con tu fuerza, con nuestra fuerza, construyamos un Nuevo Sonora, muchas gracias y Dios los bendiga a todos”, concluyó.

This piece was inspired by previous student work on the Geometric Form project, as well as 3D art that various artists made out of toothpicks. These were in fact the chosen medium; I wanted to work with wood toothpicks proved to be the right size. The concept is essentially a new interpretation of the space lattice created at the beginning of the semester. The simple 180-arc is present, though there are clear differences due to the different media and interpretation. Originally I planned to make cubes out of the toothpicks. but they proved to have too much flexibility, so I made 3-sided pyramids instead; the triangles have much more structural rigidity, and as it turns out, I like the look of the triangles much better. I'm also very happy with the directional movement changes within the piece. As seems to be the case with my projects in this class, if I could change one thing it's that I would make it longer/bigger/more elaborate, if given the time; the piece measures roughly 9x7x5 (depending on which way you stand it up).
Prompt:
A highly detailed abstract image of a human face formed from a complex grid-like structure, creating a futuristic and surreal effect. The face emerges from the background as if seamlessly woven into the intricate geometric patterns, with dramatic lighting accentuating the depth and three-dimensional effect. The structure appears to be metallic or glass-like, with reflective surfaces catching the light. The overall aesthetic is modern, digital, and thought-provoking, evoking themes of artificial intelligence and human-machine integration. The image is in UHD, 8K resolution.
Fun event raises money for our Advent Appeal
Another very successful Sixth Form fancy dress day was recently held at St. Mary’s Menston. Over 250 students and staff arrived for lessons in multi-coloured costumes, each one donating £10 to the school’s annual Advent Appeal, proceeds from which will be sent to St. Gemma’s Hospice, CAFOD, Catholic Care and Martin House. A total of £1700 was raised on the day. This year again there were many different imaginative and creative costumes, some made by the students themselves including Aladdin on his magic carpet, nuns, sheiks, pirates, elves, flower pot men, gorillas, bears and cup-cakes to name but a few. The staff, not to be outdone, also joined in with some departments following a particular theme.
“Standing at the front of the hall delivering an assembly can sometimes be an off-putting experience; looking up from your notes and seeing Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men, bananas in pyjamas, giant-sized tetras boxes or a row of cupcakes, might be enough to put anyone off their lines. Congratulations to Paddy Spiller, our guest speaker from CAFOD who didn’t miss a beat when addressing a Year 11 and Year 13 assembly on Friday, our Fancy Dress day! Each student is to be commended for their generosity and for creating a very happy day for all in our school.”
Mr Sinnett, Director of Sixth Form
This event is not the only one planned by the Sixth Form students to raise as much money as possible this year. A Rich Man Poor Man lunch is planned for the end of the week where pupils and staff purchasing a ‘rich’ ticket win a hearty meal whilst a ‘poor’ ticket merits a cup of soup. A Sixth Form 5-a-side Football match also raised £150.
Over the course of the Advent period, the whole school community will be involved in fund raising activities with the aim of raising £10,000 for our four charities.

A crowd forms on Market Street outside the courthouse in Snow Hill, Maryland November 6, 1931 after information leaked out that Euel Lee was to appear in court the following day.
Lee did not make an appearance on November 7th, but his attorney Bernard Ades and a female companion showed up for a court appearance and were attacked and beaten outside the courthouse.
Green Davis and his wife Ivy and two children were murdered in 1931 in their Berlin, Maryland home purportedly over a wage dispute, setting off a two-year sensational prosecution and defense of Euel Lee who was also known as Orphan Jones.
Lee’s case was taken up by the Maryland Communist Party and they waged a public campaign with demonstrations, letters and telegrams while his attorney Bernard Ades fought tenaciously in the courts. Ades succeeded in obtaining several changes of venue that thwarted lynch mobs and overturned Maryland’s longstanding practice of barring African Americans from juries.
Despite the efforts, Lee was executed October 28, 1933 and the state refused to hand the body over to Ades despite Lee’s written wishes. Lee was then buried in an unmarked grave.
Disbarment proceedings were brought against Ades and he was defended in Maryland courts by Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall—the first white man in Maryland defended by black lawyers. Ades escaped disbarment with a reprimand.

It started with an email as a trip to SBI to pick up a ML-L3 remote for my D50. Then as weather forecasts were made we decided to make it a night - sort of last-minute, Threshold, Skazama, LaRizzoloca and I revisited a spot we have been a few times before.
The results of previous outings can be seen in set 001, set 007, and set 008.
You can see a group pool here of all our shots on Flickr from the night or a slick slideshow here. It may take a week or so for all the shots to be posted.
Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913)
Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916)
Bronze sculpture, cast 1972
Boccioni's work was in plaster, never cast into bronze in his lifetime. This cast was made in 1972.
In the early years of the twentieth century, industrialisation swept across Italy. The Futurist movement was founded by writers and artists such as Umberto Boccioni, who enthused about new inventions such as cars and electricity. In Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, the figure is aerodynamically deformed by speed. Boccioni exaggerated the body''s dynamism so that it embodied the urge towards progress. The sculpture may reflect ideas of the mechanised body that appeared in Futurist writings, as well as the ''superman'' envisaged by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche

The Park Estate, Nottingham.
Bishop's House, 27 Cavendish Road East, 1883.
Unlisted.
The Bishop’s House forms part of the Nottingham Park estate. This originated as a royal hunting park associated with the Castle, acquired after the Civil War by William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle. During the time of the 4th Duke in the early 19th century the Trustees of the estate resolved to develop the park with grand stucco housing in a landscaped setting, along the Regents Park model. Development was suspended at the time of the upheaval associated with the sacking of Nottingham Castle by the townspeople in 1831 and did not really pick up until 1854, when the 5th Duke appointed the local architect Thomas Chambers Hine Surveyor of the Estate. From here development took a new turn, moving away from stuccoed Regency-style terraces and villas towards substantial red brick detached and semi-detached houses, each with their own private garden. There was a further hiatus after the death of the 5th Duke in 1864, work not picking up again until the 1870s, when Hine was assisted by Robert Evans and, later, by his son George Thomas Hine. Other local architects were also brought in, working under Hine’s general supervision and to his masterplan. There was a boom in building between 1880 and 1895, and it was during this time that Cavendish Road East was laid out. The architect for No 27 has not been established, although TC Hine may have been responsible. The house was built in 1883.
TC Hine retired in 1891, by which time the development of the estate was largely complete. Of the 363 houses built by 1918, 350 survive today.
With the restoration of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in 1850, Pugin’s presbytery at St Barnabas’ became the residence of the Bishop of Nottingham. In the early 20th century there was a trend towards establishing Bishops’ residences away from their Cathedrals; the move to Cavendish Road East took place in 1932, in the early months of the episcopate of Bishop McNulty. Originally leased, the house was later purchased during the time of Bishop Ellis and has remained the residence of the Bishops of Nottingham since that time. In about 1965 a flat roofed addition was built in a yard area at the front of the house, housing administrative offices.
No 27 is a large, detached house built in about 1893; its design is picturesque and informal, incorporating Tudor elements but basically astylar. It consists of two storeys, with a basement and an attic. It is built of hard red brick laid in stretcher bond (so with a cavity wall), with blue brick bands and string courses, ashlar dressings and machine-made clay time roof with terracotta ridge crestings. The main entrance is at the side of the house, set back within a stone surround with segmental arch. On the front elevation (photo top left) there is a projecting range on the north side, with some half timbering and plaster/pebbledash over the attic window in the bargeboarded gable. Below this, the large first floor window and the ground floor windows have been altered. Adjoining this at ground floor level is a dreadful flat roofed addition of c1965. Set back behind this at the centre of the front elevation there is a bay with hipped roof to the first floor and a pyramidal roof over the attic floor (the latter lit by three original windows with ashlar surrounds). The bay to the right of this also has a (narrower) first floor window with hipped roof and half timbered and bargeboarded gable over. The garden elevation has been less altered.
