A few days ago I was in doc. Gonzo's lab, in a small village lost over the mountains in the northern Tuscany, to take some photos of him while working on raw wood.
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.

Cameron, LA is an ill-fated town that suffered the wrath of Mother Nature twice in the form of two back-to-back hurricanes only several weeks apart during the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season. First came Laura, a powerful and deadly category 4 storm that killed over 70 people. Then came Delta. Although Hurricane Delta’s winds were not as strong as Laura’s, the category 2 hurricane further devastated an already decimated region along the gulf coast that was still without power and many of the residents unable to rebuild or even finish surveying the destruction from the first hit.
Within weeks, both of these two hurricanes made landfall less than 20 miles apart. Some areas have never recovered. The town of Cameron was essentially wiped off of the map. These photos are from that gulf region, almost all of these were taken within Cameron, though a few are from Lake Charles (a larger city only a few miles north of the coast). Lake Charles was the largest city with the misfortune of being in the direct path of Laura while still a cat 4 storm. The local population was slightly over 77,000 people when the hurricanes hit (according to the 2019 census data on Wiki).
Seeing the destruction first-hand, all of these months later, was a very sobering and solemn experience. I hope these areas can eventually recover, but it’s difficult to see how in some of the hardest hit locations where the majority of the structures have been stripped down to their foundations and even the topography itself has been permanently altered.
All photos of these photos are CC, all or mostly unedited, and were taken at the end of January, 2021.

Nozeroy est une cité médiévale dans le département du Jura, dans la région Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
Le puissant et richissime seigneur Jean Ier de Chalon choisit un site de hauteur, défendable à proximité de la route du sel, qui de Salins à Jougne permet les échanges commerciaux et culturels entre le duché de Bourgogne et la Suisse et au-delà entre la Flandre et l'Italie. Jean de Chalon crée alors en 1262 au centre de son domaine jurassien, une forteresse d'où est conduite sa politique et sont administrés ses biens : le château de Nozeroy et sa ville fortifiée.
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

Formes Limites : Pratiques de la céramique et sculptures contemporaines
« Formes Limites » est une exposition dédiée à la céramique, qui rassemble des œuvres d’art, des travaux de céramistes, des objets de design ou des éléments issus de l’industrie. Elle met en évidence le potentiel sculptural de ces matériaux. Chacune des œuvres présentées témoigne d’une approche spécifi que de la céramique, et de sa mise en forme. Enseignée aux Beaux-Arts de Paris, elle s’inscrit dans notre époque par ses qualités tant techniques qu' esthétiques. L’exposition, qui se tient dans la Chapelle des Petits-Augustins, au centre d’un décor unique de copies sculptées et peintes hérité du XIXe siècle, témoigne d'un regain d’intérêt pour une technique qui valorise les savoir-faire et la fabrication manuelle.

On Ranstead Street, at door to old "Brush Electric Light Company," now a PECO building.
The Philadelphia Electric Company was incorporated in 1902 but finds it origins in The Brush Electric Light Company of Philadelphia, which was formed in 1881. In 1880, Thomas Dolan convinced ten of Philadelphia's wealthiest entrepreneurs to invest in a company in "the business of manufacturing, procuring, owning and operating various apparatus used in producing light, heat, or power by electricity or used in lighting buildings." The new venture traded a 50 percent share, or $100,000, of its stock for a license of the Brush arc dynamo, an electric generator that was then considered the best way to generate power for lighting.
Electric utilities customarily focused on a particular product, such as street lighting or industrial applications, in the late 1800s. As its name implied, The Brush Electric Light Company was primarily involved in commercial and street lighting. The Brush Company's first president was Henry Lewis, a dry goods merchant who served until his death in 1886. Dolan, who had been treasurer, chairman of the executive committee, and de facto head of the company, assumed the presidency at that time. He deflected early criticism of Brush's poles and wires, oversaw the construction of its first permanent generating facility, and helped increase the company's capitalization to $1 million to finance construction and expansion.
Throughout this early stage in the history of electric utilities, competition and fragmentation characterized the industry. Within the same city, varying voltages, currents, and frequencies provided by a multitude of companies made it difficult to develop standardized products. Utilities began to consolidate near the end of the 19th century to end competition and coordinate service. Brush merged with its most powerful rival, The United States Electric Lighting Company of Pennsylvania, in 1885.
The merged companies secretly formed an "Electric Trust," known more commonly today as a holding company, in 1886. Secrecy was required because of the mistrust in which the public and politicians held such combines. The Trust soon acquired or controlled four more small local utilities, issuing $3.5 million in bonds as financial backing. However, as its existence came to light in the early 1880s, public and media criticism of the "monopoly" intensified. The Trust's "unpopularity stemmed from its very name. Its behind-doors management of the operating companies could never bring it goodwill," according to Nicholas B. Wainwright in his History of The Philadelphia Electric Company, 1881-1961.
Competition hurt Brush as well. Its competitor, the Edison Electric Light Company of Philadelphia, had grown to equal the Trust in profits by 1892. Around the same time, local entrepreneur Martin Maloney reentered the electric industry after a successful gas venture. Maloney hoped to eliminate wasteful competition by consolidating Philadelphia's electric companies and standardizing service. He chartered the Pennsylvania Heat, Light and Power Company in 1895 with a massive capitalization of $10 million and immediately began to acquire competitors, taking over Columbia Electric Light Company and courting the Philadelphia Edison Company. By March 1896, he had merged with Edison and earned a seat on its board of directors.
When Maloney's Pennsylvania Heat acquired the Electric Trust and all its subsidiaries later that year, Thomas Dolan joined its board of directors. Unlike the Electric Trust, Maloney's consolidation scheme proceeded relatively smoothly in part because of a good public perception of his goals, which he stated in his first annual report: "To secure that class of service that would enable the Company to furnish to its patrons electricity under such conditions that they could use it more generally and apply it in many ways that the high prices prevailing prevented, and to demonstrate to the citizens of Philadelphia that a corporation could work for the benefit of the public and its stockholders at the same time." Maloney did, in fact, cut residential rates to below the national metropolitan average.
In 1898, Maloney absorbed five of Philadelphia's eight remaining independent arc lighting companies. A threat to his progress arose the following year with the formation of the $25 million National Electric Company. This new entity immediately acquired the Southern Electric Light and Power Company, one of the few strong competitors remaining. Maloney negotiated a merger of the two big companies that year. The combination had assets of $19.9 million and net profits of $518,000. The companies incorporated as the Philadelphia Electric Company (PE) in 1902.

Police start to form the Kettle around protesters near Fortnum and Masons.
Organised by the Trade Union Congress, between 300 and 500 thousand people marched through London between Embankment and Hyde park against the Coalition Government’s cuts program. A rally was held in Hyde Park after the march finished.
While the main march was peaceful, up to 1000 Anarchists and protesters looking for confrontation joined the march. Windows of banks and other shops, car dealerships and the Ritz Hotel were smashed, and buildings and police vans covered with grafiti.
Protesters from UK Uncut forced the closure of many shops on Oxford Street, and also peacefully occupied Fortnum and Mason. After they left the department store the protesters were all arrested despite, apparently, being told by police that they would not be.
Fighting between police and protesters occurred during the afternoon and early evening in Piccadilly, with Trafalgar Square being forcibly cleared of protesters later during the evening, with many demonstrators being dispersed into side streets by midnight . About 200 protesters were kettled in Trafalgar Square until the early morning.
