Forms for individual children contain information entered by volunteers who visit to check on their welfare. The assessment forms enable social workers to determine the needs for each child and respond promptly to provide the support required. These forms, known as Form 1A, are entered into a “live” database and then filed.

Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.

Glacially-formed Pothole on Pothole Dome. These bowl-shaped features were carved into the granite of Pothole Dome when it was covered by glaciers during the Tioga Stage about 20,000 years ago. The granite was scoured by streams flowing in tunnels beneath the ice. Rocks caught in vortex in such a stream were whirled about, drilling these holes into the granite. Tuolumne Meadows area.

The New Guard forming up at Wellington Barracks on 13 November 2006 prior to marching to Buckingham Palace and the Old Guard arriving back at Wellington Barracks after Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckungham Palace.
The New Guard was formed by the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment (29th/45th Foot) which was an infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales' Division. It was formed in 1970 through the amalgamation of two other regiments:
•The Worcestershire Regiment (29th Regiment of Foot / 36th Regiment of Foot)
•The Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment)
The regiment served as the county regiment of the following counties: Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Worcestershire.
In 2004, as part of the restructuring of the infantry, it was announced that the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters would be amalgamated with the 22nd (Cheshire) Regiment and the Staffordshire Regiment to form the new Mercian Regiment.
In July 2005, the 1st Battalion moved to Cavalry Barracks, Hounslow as a public duties battalion, where, amongst other duties, it provided the Queen's Guard. In August 2007, the regiment was renamed as the 2nd Battalion, Mercian Regiment (Worcesters and Foresters), before moving to Northern Ireland in a light infantry role in 2008.

The line forms outside the Apple Store for the release of Mac OS X - Leopard. The line grew as it got closer to 6pm - they had 500 shirts to give away, but they still had some left by the time I left after I made my purchase. There was still a good line outside for people waiting to get in. You can see the iPod Nano displays in the window with some big popcorn pieces hanging near them.

Le terme de « boucquain », sans doute dérivé du flamand boeckijn (« petit livre »), fait son apparition en 1459 et est attesté sous la forme « bouquin » vers la fin du xvie siècle. Le terme « bouquiniste » apparaît dans le Dictionnaire de l'Académie française dans l'édition de 1762 avec la définition et la graphie suivante : « Celui qui vend ou achete de vieux Livres, des Bouquins ». L'étymologie de « bouquin » (au sens de « livre peu estimé », d'occasion) n'est toutefois pas claire, mais le mot dans cette occurrence est attesté dès 1694, toujours par l'Académie, et Littré renvoie bien au mot flamand boeckin.
La tradition des bouquinistes parisiens débute aux alentours du xvie siècle avec des petits marchands colporteurs. Sous la pression de la corporation des libraires, un règlement de 1649 interdit les boutiques portatives et l’étalage de livres sur le pont Neuf. Le pouvoir à l'époque était assez soucieux de limiter les marchés parallèles non soumis à la censure. Les libraires ambulants sont donc, selon la période, chassés puis réintégrés sous agréments.
L'emblème traditionnel des bouquinistes se blasonne ainsi : « d'azur party de gueules à la boîte à bouquins soutenue de pierres, au chef d'argent au lézard convoitant l'épée » (Jean Lébédeff). En effet, le lézard symbolise les bouquinistes toujours à la recherche du soleil pour vendre leurs livres, et l'épée représente leur aspiration à la noble profession de libraire auxquels on accordait le privilège de porter l'épée.
Pendant la Révolution, de 1789 à 1795, malgré une forte baisse de la production éditoriale, seuls étaient imprimés les journaux et brochures révolutionnaires, les bouquinistes prospèrent et s’enrichissent des réquisitions et pillages de bibliothèques de l'aristocratie et du clergé.
Sous Napoléon Ier, les quais sont embellis et les bouquinistes se répandent du quai Voltaire au pont Saint-Michel. Ils sont alors enfin reconnus par les pouvoirs publics et ils obtiennent le même statut que les commerçants publics de la ville de Paris. Vers 1840, Charles Nodier, qui s'inquiétait déjà de la disparition de ce petit commerce, rappelait que « le nom du bouquiniste est un de ces substantifs à sens double qui abondent malheureusement dans toutes les langues. On appelle également bouquiniste l’amateur qui cherche des bouquins, et le pauvre libraire en plein air qui en vend. Autrefois, le métier de celui-ci n’était pas sans considération et sans avenir. On a vu le marchand de bouquins s’élever du modeste étalage de la rue, ou de la frileuse exposition d’une échoppe nomade, jusqu’aux honneurs d’une petit boutique de six pieds carrés » et de rappeler au souvenir d'un certain Passard, « qui avait colporté, sous le bras, sa boutique ambulante, du passage des Capucines au Louvre, et du Louvre à l’Institut, avait tout vu, tout connu, tout dédaigné du haut de son orgueil de bouquiniste », puis de conclure que « ce qu’il y a d’incontestable pour les bouquinistes amateurs qui l’ont visité si souvent, c’est que sa conversation était beaucoup plus curieuse que ses bouquins ».
En 1859, des concessions sont mises en place par la ville de Paris et les bouquinistes peuvent s'établir à des points fixes. Chacun a alors droit à 10 mètres de parapet pour un droit annuel de tolérance de 26,35 francs et 25 francs de patente. Les ouvertures se font du lever au coucher du soleil. Enfin, c'est en 1930 que les dimensions des « boîtes » sont fixées.
Notre-Dame vue du quai Saint-Michel, tableau d'Eugène Galien-Laloue.
Installés sur plus de trois kilomètres le long de la Seine, ils exploitent environ 900 « boîtes vertes » — d'une couleur réglementée appelée « vert wagon » en référence à la signalétique du premier métropolitain et qui est aussi celui des fontaines Wallace ou des colonnes Morris — où sont exposés, selon diverses estimations, environ 300 000 livres d'occasion et un très grand nombre de revues, timbres et cartes de collection. Toutefois, si la vente de livres reste la raison sociale officielle, ces boîtes ont toujours par tradition proposé d'autres articles : estampes, timbres, monnaies et petites brocantes, voire souvenirs, comme en attestent les nombreuses représentations (par exemple, le tableau d'Eugène Galien-Laloue intitulé Notre-Dame vue du quai Saint-Michel, v. 1940). Le règlement actuel a définitivement tranché : une seule boite peut contenir des souvenirs de Paris.
Les exploitants n'ont plus à acquitter un droit de concession, ils ne payent pas de loyer et l'autorisation de stationnement peut être enlevée à tout moment par la Mairie de Paris. Comme tout commerçant, ils doivent être inscrits au registre du commerce et des sociétés, en donner le justificatif tous les ans. La plupart sont inscrits en auto-entrepreneurs. Ils occupent 8 mètres de parapet chacun, permettant de placer jusqu'à quatre boîtes. Les emplacements doivent obligatoirement être exploités au moins quatre jours par semaine, sauf intempéries.
En 2009, la mairie de Paris a commencé à donner des avertissements aux bouquinistes qui vendaient majoritairement plus d'articles – souvenirs, bibelots, gadgets – autres que le livre et la gravure, alors que le règlement n'autorise seulement qu'une boîte sur quatre. Avec l'essor du tourisme dans la capitale, ce phénomène est sensible aux abords des monuments touristiques et des zones les plus fréquentées notamment. La baisse des ventes de livres d'occasion ne fait qu'amplifier ce phénomène poussant même dans certaines zones – comme celle dite du « Purgatoire » près de l'Hôtel de ville de Paris – à la fermeture massive des boites.
En 2014, les bouquinistes lancent leur premier festival. Cinquante bouquinistes s'étaient alors réunis pour présenter leurs meilleurs choix de livres anciens et d'occasion.
Le 6 février 2019, sous l'impulsion de la Mairie de Paris, le Ministère de la Culture décide que les bouquinistes de Paris entrent au Patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'inventaire français, condition préalable à une possible candidature au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco envisagée depuis quelques années notamment à l'initiative de l'Association culturelle des bouquinistes de Paris, unique association qui regroupe près de 80 % des bouquinistes, et des maires du 5e et 6e arrondissement de Paris. Les rives de la Seine à Paris, sur lesquelles sont installés les bouquinistes, sont déjà inscrites au patrimoine mondial depuis 1991.
Les bouquinistes de Paris ont inspiré d'autres capitales, comme Ottawa, Pékin ou Tokyo.
The Barbara Hepworth bronze sculpture Two Forms in Dulwich Park South London.
Home made plastic pinhole camera (Nano Traveller), 24x24mm negative.
UPDATE: This sculpture was stolen from the park on Sunday 18 December 2011.
While in the building this time, we found a good number of forms on the floor of a room that was full to bursting with huge empty bookcases. These are shipping manifests and similar papers.
I can't figure out how they got there. Someone must have found a bunch of them, hidden somewhere out of the elements, and left them all over the floor.
Rather than see them get ruined sitting out in the open in a room with no windows where water clearly collects in rain, I straightened them up into a stack and took them with me. I have them saved in a folder.
