Is the capital of the province of Flemish Brabant in the Flemish Region, Belgium. It is located about 30 kilometers east of Brussels, with as other neighbouring cities Mechelen, Aarschot, Tienen, and Wavre.
The township comprises the historical city of Leuven and the former municipalities of Heverlee, Kessel-Lo, a part of Korbeek-Lo, Wilsele and Wijgmaal.
It is home to Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer group and one of the top five largest consumer goods companies in the world; and to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university of the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in existence.
History
The earliest mention of Leuven ("Loven") is from 891 when a Viking army was defeated by the Frankish king Arnulf of Carinthia (see: Battle of Leuven). According to the city legend, its red-white-red colours depict the blood-stained shores of the river Dijle after this battle.
Situated at this river and nearby the stronghold of the Dukes of Brabant, Leuven became the most important centre of trade in the duchy between the 11th and the 14th century. A token of its former importance as a centre of cloth manufacture, is nicely reflected in the typical Leuven linen cloth, known in late 14-15th century texts as lewyn (other spellings: Leuwyn, Levyne, Lewan(e), Lovanium, Louvain).
In the 15th century a new golden era began with the founding of the by now largest and oldest university in the Low Countries, the Catholic University of Leuven, in 1425.
In the 18th century Leuven became even more important as a result of the flourishing of the brewery now named AB InBev, and whose flagship beer, Stella Artois, is brewed in Leuven.
In the 20th century, both world wars inflicted major damage to the city. Upon German entry in World War I, the town was heavily damaged due to German Schrecklichkeit policy. The Germans shot the burgomaster, university rector and all the city's police officers. The university library was deliberately destroyed by the German army on August 25, 1914, using petrol and incendiary pastilles. Hundreds of thousands of irreplaceable volumes and Gothic and Renaissance manuscripts were lost. The world was outraged over this and the library was completely rebuilt after World War I with American charity funds and German war indemnities. After World War II, the burnt down building had to be restored again. It still stands as a symbol of the wars and of Allied solidarity.
Dutch
Leuven (Frans: Louvain, Duits: Löwen) is een stad en gemeente in de Belgische provincie Vlaams-Brabant. Ze is de centraal gelegen hoofdstad van deze provincie en tevens de hoofdplaats van het bestuurlijke en gerechtelijke arrondissement Leuven. Leuven heeft een oppervlakte van 5663 ha, telt ruim 95.000 inwoners en ligt aan de Dijle.
Leuven is onder meer bekend als de vestigingsplaats van de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, de oudste universiteit in de Lage Landen, de multinational Anheuser-Busch InBev (historisch Brouwerij Artois, naderhand ook nog Interbrew en InBev geheten), de Boerenbond en het universitair ziekenhuis Gasthuisberg.
Vanwege de eeuwenlange aanwezigheid van zowel de brouwerij Artois als het studentenleven wordt Leuven ook wel de bierhoofdstad van Vlaanderen/België genoemd.
Naamgeving
De naam Leuven wordt voor het eerst teruggevonden in het jaar 884 als Luvanium in de Annales Vedastini. De naam klimt op tot de prehistorische taal die in de regio gesproken werd vóór de germanisering (2e eeuw v.Chr.). In aansluiting bij Caesar mag men deze taal 'Belgisch' noemen. In het 'Belgisch' werden nederzettingsnamen doorgaans met behulp van het suffix -iom, afgeleid van persoonsnamen. Leuven is daarvan een mooi voorbeeld. De naam klimt op tot Lubaniom, hetgeen afgeleid is van de persoonsnaam Lubanios die betekent "de geliefde". Deze is op zijn beurt afgeleid van de indo-europese wortel leubh-, "liefhebben". Een andere bron zegt echter dat Leuven nederzetting bij het lieflijke water betekent.[bron?]
De bijnamen van de Leuvenaars zijn Pietermannen en koeienschieters. De eerste naam verwijst naar de inwoners van de oudste parochie (Sint-Pieter) en de tweede bijnaam verwijst naar het historische feit van 1691 toen de inwoners van Leuven op een zekere nacht het vuur op verdachte gestalten openden. De Leuvenaars werden op dat moment belegerd door de Fransen en waren in de waan dat ze op vijandige soldaten schoten. De volgende morgen bleek echter dat ze een kudde koeien hadden beschoten.
Português
Lovaina (em neerlandês Leuven) é uma cidade e um município da Bélgica localizado no distrito que leva o seu mesmo nome, parte província de Brabante Flamengo, região da Flandres. Lovaina é a capital da província do Brabante Flamengo, e a língua de seus habitantes é majoritariamente o holandês, embora quase sempre o francês, também seja conhecido. Está localizada a cerca de 30 km a leste da capital Bruxelas.
A exemplo de Coimbra, em Portugal, ou de Leiden, na Holanda, Lovaina é uma cidade universitária. A população é de aproximadamente 91.700 mil habitantes (2008), 30% dos quais são alunos ou professores de sua universidade. A vida em Lovaina gira em torno dessa instituição de ensino, que atrai gente de todo o país e do mundo para lá, sempre renovando o aspecto da cidade. Muitos de seus atuais moradores são ex-alunos que lá decidiram ficar ou voltar depois de terem concluído os seus estudos.
História
Há referências a Louvain desde 891, quando o exército viking foi derrotado por Arnulfo, Rei da Germânia. De acordo com a lenda local, as cores da bandeira de Lovaina, vermelho-branco-vermelho, representam o cenário sanguinolento em que as margens do rio Dijle ficaram.
Do século XI ao século XV Lovaina foi o centro comercial do Ducado de Brabante em que se integrava. Exemplo da riqueza da cidade e dos seus comerciantes foi a construção da câmara da cidade em estilo Gótico. Embora esta tenha sido construída depois das câmaras de Antuérpia e Bruxelas, os ricos habitantes de Lovaina fizeram questão de demonstrar o seu poder económico construindo aquela que é uma das mais belas câmaras da Bélgica. No século XV, mais precisamente 1425, início da época dourada, foi fundada a Universidade Católica de Lovaina, a mais antiga dos países baixos e uma das mais antigas da Europa.
Nessa mesma universidade estudou e leccionou Damião de Góis por volta de 1540. Ele envolveu-se pessoalmente na luta pela defesa da cidade contra as tropas de Carlos I de Espanha aquando da sua invasão da Flandres e acabou capturado.
No século XVIII a indústria cervejeira floresceu, e ainda hoje a InBev, uma das maiores cervejeiras do mundo que detém entre outras a Stella Artois e a Brahma tem aí localizada a sua sede.
No século XX a cidade foi fortemente danificada em ambas as Guerras Mundiais.

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

St. Louis Union Station is a National Historic Landmark train station in St. Louis, Missouri. At its 1894 opening, the station was the largest in the world that had tracks and passenger service areas all on one level. Traffic peaked at 100,000 people a day the 1940s. The last passenger train left the station in 1978.
In the 1980s, it was renovated as a hotel, shopping center, and entertainment complex. The 2010s and 2020s saw more renovation and expansion of entertainment and office capacity.
An adjacent station serves the light-rail MetroLink Red and Blue Lines, which run under the station in the Union Station subway tunnel. The city's intercity train station sits a quarter-mile to the south, serving MetroLink, Amtrak, and Greyhound Bus.

PARROQUIA DE SANTA CRUZ y SOLEDAD
Barrio de la Merced. Ciudad de México
Enclavada en el populoso barrio de la Merced, la parroquia de Santa Cruz y Soledad podría clasificarse por las formas clásicas de arquitectura, entre las construcciones de estilo renacimiento puro.
La edificación de este inmueble localizado en la Plaza Santa Escuela, en la colonia Barrio de la Soledad, delegación Venustiano Carranza, se inició el 27 de diciembre de 1774, siendo virrey Antonio María Bucarelli y arzobispo, Alonso de Haro y Peralta.
Esta primera parte de la obra fue ejecutada por el maestro Cayetano Signen. Los materiales utilizados fueron tezontle, piedra, cantera gris, madera y hierro principalmente.
Se erigió sobre 4 mil 145 metros cuadrados y fue concluida la obra en 1787. Originalmente, la iglesia se llamó Santa Cruz Coltanco y se estrenó el 5 de septiembre de 1792.
Su fachada está chapeada de cantera gris al igual que las pilastras que la sostienen. En su interior tiene 6 columnas almohadilladas aisladas que apoyan a la nave principal.
De acuerdo a una descripción de la época, se trata de un magnifico templo de mampostería; su bóveda está revestida de cantera. Es de forma rectangular y consta de tres naves.
El piso es de mosaico en colores rojo y blanco, tiene una bonita escalera de mármol; el altar mayor es de este mismo material; su techo lo forman bóvedas de cañón con lunetos en los tres primeros tramos de la nave central, misma que se ve interrumpida por una cúpula octagonal.
Sobre el presbiterio se puede apreciar otra bóveda aunque éste es de platillo. Esta área tiene el techo formado por 8 pequeñas bóvedas de cañón. El piso es de mosaico verde y blanco, en tanto que la pila bautismal está realizada de madera con primorosos tallados.
La luz natural es muy buena pues cuenta con 8 ventanales en cada uno de sus muros laterales, además de igual número colocados en la cúpula. Tiene 2 inmensos campanarios.
Por lo que toca a la parte que aloja al coro es espaciosa, ya que abarca las 3 naves y está sostenido por el mismo número de arcos. Su piso es de duela en la parte central y de ladrillo a los extremos. Mención aparte merece el hermoso barandal con 2 originales campanillas de hierro forjado.
Conforme a un inventario efectuado en 1925, la parroquia tenía pequeños tesoros como una corona de plata con una inscripción que decía: "José María Galván, México, Marzo 29-1912", así como un estandarte de seda pintado que rezaba "Corazón de María" y estaba ricamente adornado con galón dorado.
Su sagrario es de madera; tiene a la Virgen de la Soledad con un vestido de terciopelo negro y bordado de plata.
Sin embargo con el paso de los años fue perdiendo poco a poco su esplendor: para empezar en la gestión del Presidente Lázaro Cárdenas, su anexo fue destinado como una casa para los indígenas, por lo que la superficie quedó en 2 mil 635 metros cuadrados. Más adelante se abrió la escuela hogar "Liberación" que perteneció a la Beneficencia Pública. Esto ocurrió en 1937.
Dos años después, en la noche del 24 al 25 de marzo se registró un robo de 6 candelabros de bronce niquelado. La mala suerte no paró ahí y en 1941, hurtaron 2 copones de plata y un relicario del mismo material. Por si fuera poco, el 17 de enero de 1970, un choque de un camión de pasajeros dañó considerablemente una parte de la verja y agrietó un muro exterior.
Afortunadamente, este inmueble que fue declarado Monumento el 9 de febrero de 1931, fue restaurado completamente en 1982, lo que permitió recuperar parte de esa belleza virreinal

Here future Lovers, when in Troops they come,
Venus, to visit thy distinguish'd Dome,
As thro' this consecrated Shade they pass,
Shall offer to the Genius of the Place.
Shift now the closer Scene: and view around,
With various Beauties the wide Landskip crown'd.
Here level Glades extend their length'ning Lines,
There in just Order the deep Quincunce shines.
Here chrystal Lakes reflect contiguous Shades,
There distant Hills uplift their azure Heads.
Round the free Lawn here gadding Heifers stray,
And frisking Lambs in sportive Gambols play.
There murmur to the Wind Groves ever-green,
And inter-mingled Buildings rise between:
The Sun declin'd with milder Glory burns,
And the fair Piece with various Light adorns.
Lo! in the Centre of this beauteous Scene,
Glitters beneath her Dome the Cyprian Queen:
Not like to her, whom ancient Homer prais'd,
To whom a thousand sacred Altars blaz'd:
When simple Beauty was the only Charm,
With which each tender Nymph and Swain grew warm:
But, Yielding to the now-prevailing Taste,
In Gold, for modern Adoration, drest.
For her the Naiads, in their watry Bed,
Amid the level Green a Mirror spread;
Along whose terass'd Banks the shelt'ring Wood,
Defends from ruder Winds th' unruffled Flood.

"El Avion De La Salsa" demonstrates and solidifies his commitment to keeping it raw and telling it like it is. Bosch's autobiographical song lyrics masterfully portrayed on the 11 tracks, addresses ever day situations and social issues with a frankness that makes him a role model to fans. Co-produced with long time musician and friend, Angel Fernandez, this is a dancer's dream, with hard driving rhythms combining Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Descarga, Plena, Guaguanco and more. The title track immediately stimulates a physical reaction to move and dance. Songs with social content include "Barreras Ningua" which covers the subject of Cancer, "Medicina No!" which covers the refusal of medicine to treat depression first off and the subject of New York pride, and "Mama Y Papa" which acts as a voice for children speaking out about unconditional love and child abuse. Bosch's music is inspirational. He has a special talent for getting his message across through great arrangements, hard driving rhythms, emphatic solos, swinging montunos and expressive inspirations.
This is a powerful third solo production featuring today's best free-style Latin story teller (Sonero) Rey Bayona who's able to tackle improvisations with requisite spontaneity and grip listeners with the emotional seriousness of his storytelling.
Honored quests joining Jimmy include, Yomo Toro (Fania Allstars), Dave Valentine (Tito Puente Latin Jazz Allstars), Alfredo De La Fe (Fania Allstars), Andy Gonzalez (Latin Jazz Bassist Superstar), Herman Olivera (Eddie Palmieri), Ray de la Paz and Oscar Hernandez (the Capeman).
Vocalists Ray Sepulveda, Rey Viera, Willie Torres, Marco Bermudez and Gabriel R. Bosch also contribute masterfully. Representing the finest players of the New York sound are rhythm and brass players, Bobby Allende, Marc Quinones, Pablo Chino Nunez, Eric Velez, George Delgado, Edwin Sanchez, Hector Maximo Rodriguez, Abiud Troche, Steve Gluzband, Jeff Lederer, Mitch Frohman, Mauricio Smith Jr.
, Pete Nater, Raul Agraz, Carl Corwin, Luisito Quintero, Roberto Cepeda, and Pedro Segundo.
In continuing to take the country by storm, "El Avion De La Salsa" is available to all fans across the globe. Released in the United States and working its way throughout the world, Jimmy Bosch at the helm of his own label JRGR Records, Inc. is able to control all creative aspects of this release including radio promotion, marketing street teams and is working closely with retail distribution, RYKO.

Americans in Rheinland-Pfalz take stand against drugs, alcohol
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz
SEMBACH, Germany - Hundreds of people at U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz took a stand against drug and alcohol abuse Oct. 19 during the Red Ribbon Run at Sembach Kaserne.
The event, centered on a five kilometer fun run and walk, is the Kaiserslautern Military Community’s way to commemorate National Red Ribbon Week. Kai Jendretzke won the race, coming in at 17:11.
“We had more than 850 runners and walkers and we had in excess of 107 volunteers,” said Sandi Magill, who coordinated the event. “I’d say, ‘we rocked it.’”
This year, the event was paired with a Halloween theme – zombies. Many people got into character, sporting ghoulish face paint and torn clothes. The first zombie across the finish line was Pfc. James Conyers, 23, a military police Soldiers assigned to the 230th Military Police Company at Sembach Kaserne.
The event kicked off beside the Sembach Community Activity Center. First, runners and walkers registered and received a t-shirt that said “Never High, Always Fly.” Dozens of families brought their dogs with them. At least one cat also attended.
Following the opening ceremony, participants made their way to the start line. Wojtek Czyz, a German Paralympic athlete whose leg was amputated from a severe soccer injury, held a race torch high. At the starting gun, they were off with Czyz, Maj. Gen. John R. O’Connor, commander of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command and Col. Bryan DeCoster, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz, leading the group.
Zombies aside, the garrison hosts the annual event to spread awareness on prevention of drug and alcohol abuse. Red Ribbon Week, which starts Oct. 23, honors the memory of Enrique Camarena, an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agent and former Marine who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985.
People sick of the destruction caused by alcohol and drugs began wearing red satin badges and forming coalitions to spread the word. Now, events are designed for people to take a stand against substance abuse. In the KMC, the Army garrison’s family-geared run and walk has become tradition.
Before and after the run, families took part in lots of fun activities, to include a haunted house, mask making, making your own Zombie T-shirt and pumpkin decorating. There was also a flash mob, where volunteers danced to Michael Jackson’s song, “Thriller.”
There was a USO stand offering food as well as food from the Sembach Community Activity Center. There was a haunted house, a pumpkin patch, fire trucks and jumping castles. More than 50 garrison staff and band members also supported the event.
Several community organizations were on hand for the event, to include the garrison’s Army Substance Abuse and Prevention program, Army Community Service and family advocacy. Cadets from the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps posted the colors during the opening ceremony and served as guides. In all, more than 22 community agencies took part, Magill said. In total, roughly 4,075 people took part, Magill said.
Command Sgt. Maj. Kenneth Kraus, U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz’s senior enlisted leader, closed the event by encouraging participants eat suppers as a family.
“Plan at least three dinners together weekly with your kids. Take time to engage them in conversation about school, work, spirituality, fitness and health,” Kraus said. “It’s been proven to make a difference.”

==========
The Spartans start their baseball season with a southern trip, returning to East Lansing about now every spring. State plays Big 10 teams on the weekends and mostly Mid-America Conference squads in mid-week. Lately they've been opening their home season against the Chips.
MSU baseball's become one of my post-retirement pleasures. I watch 'em in East Lansing, and I've followed the team to Kalamazoo and Mount Pleasant most recent years. Maybe this year I'll add Ann Arbor, or Ypsi. We'll see.

The Lares Treks valley is one of the most picturesque villages in the southern part of Cusco. Lares Valley is particularly well know for its very high-quality, brightly coloured weavings and characteristic upturned hats, many of the popular tourist markets being supplied from here. The trek itself is rated moderate, similar to the Inca Trail. There are, however, one pass over 4000m so it is essential that you are well acclimatized to the altitude

[caption id="attachment_1561" align="alignleft" width="151" caption="Cahier Marseillais"] [/caption]
En fouillant un peu sur Internet, il est possible de trouver de vieux cahiers d’école dont celui-ci, par exemple, date de 1937. On peut également y apprendre que l’étymologie du mot cahier, en latin quaternio, désigne la réunion de quatre feuilles. Alors il est vrai que les Cahiers Marseillais n’ont pas 16 pages mais plutôt 80, et, vous l’aurez deviné, ressemblent à nos cahiers d’autrefois. Un clin d’œil à nos années d’écoliers et l’occasion de nous prendre par la main pour découvrir Marseille autrement. Trimestriel distribué à 20 000 exemplaires depuis 2008, « les Cahiers Marseillais » est d’abord un magazine local autant destiné à ceux qui vivent ou visitent la cité Phocéenne
Julie Mauduy, vous êtes à l’origine des Cahiers Marseillais dont vous avez lancé le premier numéro en 2008. Pourriez-vous nous raconter comment vous vous êtes lancée et avec qui ?
Ce magazine est né de ma rencontre avec Yann Lecat. Diplomé d’école de Commerce il cherchait à s'associer pour adapter un magazine Lyonnais à Marseille. Très rapidement nous avons abandonné cette idée : chaque ville a son caractère, son rythme. Pour moi il n’est pas envisageable de faire un magazine qui ne parle pas aux lecteurs, qui ne leur ressemble pas. On souffre suffisamment des media « nationaux » qui sont en réalité trop souvent des media parisiens. (La simple opposition Paris/Province m’horripile).
Nous avons travaillé le concept pendant de longs mois. Presqu’un an. Nous avions tellement d’idées très différentes, mais notre souci était de trouver un mode de financement viable sur le long terme. Et puis comme une révélation, nous avons pensé à réunir toutes nos idées dans un seul magazine, d’où le nom : Les Cahiers Marseillais, avec un contenu mouvant d’un numéro à l’autre.
Un magazine gratuit, distribué hors des presses classiques doit apporter son lot de surprises au lecteur. Si j’achète AutoPlus, je m’attends à des sujets précis. Idem pour les magazines de déco, de voile et autres. Mais face à un gratuit, les gens sont à la fois plus exigeants et plus rapidement lassés. Il faut exister, avoir une identité forte et fédératrice, et oser l’éclectisme. C’est ma vision de la chose.
Et puis nous voulions proposer un magazine qui plaise à tout le monde, ceux qui lisent, et ceux qui sont un peu moins attirés par les lettres, avec une mise en page qui sorte des codes habituels, une maquette qui change et surprenne le lecteur, des articles plus ou moins longs… Notre objectif était de parler à tout le monde, et ce que nous avons tous dans notre mémoire collective c’est l’école. C’est ce qui a renforcé notre idée de « Cahiers » et nous avons souhaité poussé le magazine dans ce sens visuellement aussi.
Au niveau du ton, nous avons souhaité faire un magazine convivial, avec des petits mots ajoutés à la main, comme un message qu’on laisserait à un ami… C’est à dire qu’on utilise régulièrement des mots provençaux ou bien du langage familier, pour affirmer notre proximité. D’ailleurs via Facebook ou bien notre site internet à présent, nous avons beaucoup de lecteurs qui nous écrivent et souvent ils nous tutoient !
A qui s’adresse exactement le magazine ?
Aux Marseillais (les expatriés sont très vite assimilés ici) principalement, mais également aux touristes, aux curieux, à ceux qui vivent loin mais veulent rester en lien avec la cité Phocéenne… Le principal trait de caractère de nos lecteurs, c’est peut-être la curiosité. L’envie de découvrir de nouveaux lieux, de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes… Je n’aime pas les cases, mais puisqu’il faut le définir, notre lectorat est principalement composé d’actifs de 25 à 55 ans, avec une légère prédominance féminine. Mais ça n’empêche pas les enfants de jouer avec, ni les étudiants de le lire, ni les retraités de l’utiliser !
[caption id="attachment_1562" align="alignright" width="176" caption="Cahier Marseillais"] [/caption]
Le magazine est une succession de cahiers intérieurs dont les thèmes sont aussi variés que la culture, l’urbanisme, figures libres etc. Comment choisissez-vous ces thèmes ?
Ça se fait en concertation avec Yann. Même s’il s’occupe des chiffres et moi des lettres, nous essayons de prendre les décisions ensemble. Il y a des Cahiers récurrents comme « Figures Libres » qui sont des portraits de Marseillais (chefs d’entreprises, passionnés… parfois connus, parfois débutants…) ; il y a le Cahier Culture qui est récurrent également ; et puis il y a le Cahier Général, c’est à dire l’entrée du magazine avec des rubriques fixes comme les recettes, la rencontre d’un Marseillais expatrié, les bonnes idées des blogueuses… Ensuite nous essayons d’articuler le magazine autour de thèmes que nous voulons aborder, qui sont dans l’air du temps ou la saison, en fonction des personnes que nous rencontrons aussi. Le plus difficile n’est pas de trouver, mais d’arbitrer entre toutes nos idées.
Tous les trimestres, vous imprimez le magazine à 20 000 exemplaires et le distribuez à travers 900 points de distribution ? Peut-on les retrouver sur Internet ?
Alors depuis le mois d’Avril 2010, notre site internet est en ligne sous forme de blog. Nous mettons les magazines en ligne bien sûr, bientôt il y aura la liste des points de distribution du magazine également, et puis nous publions des articles sur l’actualité marseillaise en complément du magazine, nous organisons des petits jeux-concours etc...
[caption id="attachment_1564" align="alignleft" width="166" caption="Cahier Marseillais "] [/caption]
Dès septembre, nous accélérons la cadence et le magazine devient un bimestriel. Ce changement de périodicité nous permettra encore plus de proximité avec nos lecteurs je pense et puis il y a tellement de paysages et de personnes à découvrir à Marseille que nous aurons largement de quoi remplir Les Cahiers Marseillais !
Quand paraît le prochain numéro ?
A chaque sortie (ou presque, parce que l’hiver on est moins enclins à sortir), nous organisons un apéro avec nos lecteurs dans un bar de la ville, un nouveau lieu à chaque fois, souvent en extérieur, pour rencontrer nos lecteurs, pour boire un verre ensemble, pour écouter du bon son… bref passer un moment agréable. Le prochain numéro/apéro est ainsi prévu le 10 juin prochain.
Merci à vous.

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me
HONK! Parade from Davis Square in Somerville through Porter Square to Harvard Square in Cambridge. Pasting from the honkfest.org site:
* * * * *
The Honk Parade this year will include most of the Honk bands plus a wide array of community groups, each responding to the theme of “Reclaim the Streets for Horns, Bikes, and Feet” in their own way. The goal of the parade is to create a spectacular processional theater piece with striking visual images and plenty of brass band music in order to show by example how our streets and public spaces can function as places for community celebration and fun, as well as for their everyday practical purposes. The parade showcases alternative modes of transportation (pedicabs, bicycles, feet) and celebrates the possibilities of live performance as a mode for entertaining and thoughtful inspiration.
The local organizations inventing colorful processional street spectacle for the Honk Parade include community performance groups such as the Open Air Circus, the Boston Hoop Troop, Tumbling for Two, the Royal Frog Ballet, the Disbanded Drill Team, and Can-Can Revolution; activist groups such as the Livable Streets Alliance, Food not Bombs, Somerville Climate Action, Veterans for Peace, the Red Bandanna Brigade, the Green Streets Initiative, the Tufts University Peace and Justice Group; and fascinating art and performance projects such as Mitch Ryerson’s Star Wheel, the Endangered Species with Lipstick parading comparsa, the world-renowned Bread and Puppet Theater of Vermont, Jamaica Plain’s Spontaneous Celebrations, and Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Club. The parade has also attracted neighbors joining together to have fun, such as Somerville’s Barbecue Co-op, which is constructing a four-wheeled wagon full of pigs (children in costumes) to be pulled by a contingent of chefs (their parents, also in costumes).

Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Tower Hill State Game Reserve is an area of approximately 6.2 sq km, 3 km inland from the coast between Warrnambool and Port Fairy managed by Parks Victoria since 1997. The Reserve consists of a volcanic crater of nested maar type bounded by the encircling crater rim that forms a highly visible landmark in the surrounding plain. The crater, filled by a lake and series of islands, themselves volcanic cones, was formed at least 30,000 years ago when a hot rising basaltic magma came into contact with the subterranean water table. The violent explosion that followed created the funnel-shaped crater (later filled by a lake) and the islands. Artefacts found in the volcanic ash layers show that Aboriginal people were living in the area at the time of the eruption. The Warrnambool area was a rich source of foods for the Koroitgundidj people, whose descendants retain special links with this country.
The first confirmed European sighting of Tower Hill crater was by French explorers sailing with Captain Baudin aboard the Geographe in 1802 who named the crater 'Peak of Reconnaissance'. Throughout the 19th century sailors used Tower Hill as a landmark for entering the harbours of Port Fairy (Belfast) and Warrnambool. The name Tower Hill came into common usage in the 1840s. The crater formation, noted by early European settlers for the beauty of its vegetation was memorialised in the landscape painting of Eugene von Guerard in 1855.
By the late 1850s substantial amounts of forest had been cleared in and around the crater. In 1866 when the crater and inner rim were temporarily reserved for public recreation, the Acclimatisation Society of Victoria was appointed the Committee of Management (1866-1869). The Society had formed in 1861 with the aim of introducing exotic plants and animals to suitable parts of the colony and accordingly introduced goats, pheasants and rabbits to Tower Hill. In 1873 the area was permanently reserved for public purposes and in 1892 in an attempt to halt the environmental damage to the crater Tower Hill Reserve became the first National Park to be declared in Victoria. It remained under the control of Koroit Council which permitted clearing of native vegetation, grazing and the quarrying of scoria to continue. By the 1930s the landscape was bare and little wildlife remained.
In the mid-20th century lobbying by the local community concerned about environmental degradation at Tower Hill along with general recognition of the declining numbers of game birds in Victoria led to the crater being declared a State Game Reserve in 1961, one of a number established across the State at this time as wildlife refuges. The contained nature of the crater site meant it could be readily adapted to a scientifically designed habitat management program.
In 1962 Robin Boyd was commissioned to design a Natural History Centre on the main island at Tower Hill, completed in 1969. This early example of an interpretive centre was to provide the public with information about the restoration of the Tower Hill environment and the wildlife and habitats of the State's Reserves and to be a centre of study for wildlife management. Boyd, a hero of the conservation movement, designed a simple stone circular structure with sloping roof mirroring the volcanic island hilltops, sitting in harmony with the landscape. The circular glazed pavilion is a timber construction with a cill height stone skirt and wide eaves. At the centre of the open internal space is a central hollow stone column which supports the roof and is crowned by a skylight reminiscent of the core of the volcano that gave rise to the landscape. Laminated timber rafters, arranged radially, span from the hollow stone core to the outer ring of window and project to form deep eaves.
As early as 1958 local community groups established experimental plots of native trees at Tower Hill. Following designation as a State Game Reserve serious efforts began to replicate the original vegetation using von Guerard's (1855) painting as a guide to replanting using botanists to identify the plant species. By 1981 school children,, naturalists and other volunteers had planted 250 000 trees and shrubs at Tower Hill and removed non-native species and weeds and feral animals. Native animal species including koalas, wombats, emus and echidnas have also been successfully reintroduced to Tower Hill through reinstatement of habitat. The replanting program was the first of its kind in Victoria and provided a model for the national Landcare movement, established in Victoria in the 1980s.
How is it significant?
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of aesthetic, historic, scientific, social and architectural significance to the State of Victoria
Why is it significant?
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of aesthetic significance, being an inspirational landscape, recognised for the beauty and uniqueness of its geological form and natural vegetation from first European exploration and settlement of the region.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is a cultural landscape of historical significance in reflecting more than a century of changing attitudes to landscape in its evolving status and the character of its environment.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of historical significance as an iconic and inspirational landscape, noted for its geological form and the beauty of its natural vegetation from first European exploration and settlement of the region, memorialised in Eugene von Guerard's 1855 painting of Tower Hill crater and island. It was this iconic beauty that environmentalists sought to reinstate through their replanting of native vegetation, the species having initially been identified initially from the detail of von Guerard's painting.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of historical significance as the earliest and an outstanding example of community programs to reinstate native vegetation and re-create native habitat on cleared and degraded land. Skills developed in the course of this work, and subsequently applied in other parts of the country include an understanding of the importance of using species indigenous to the local area, requirements for re-introduction of native fauna, and awareness of the need for re-establishment of understorey species.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of social significance for the ongoing role of the local community and community groups in the reinstatement of natural habitats in the Reserve.
Tower Hill State Game Reserve is of scientific (geological) significance as an example of a nested maar, a specific type of volcanic crater that formed at least 30 000 years ago when hot rising basaltic magma came into contact with the subterranean water table resulting in a series of phreatic explosions that created the funnel-shaped crater (later filled by a lake) coupled with late stage scoria cone development of the islands seen today.

Ship Yard Structures, Night. Mare Island Naval Ship Yard, Vallejo, California. March 3, 2012. © Copyright 2012 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Night photography of steel towers at the historic Mare Island Naval Ship Yard, Vallejo, California.
It had been a while since I last shot at the Mare Island Naval Ship Yard, one of my favorite places to do night photography. But in early March the opportunity came up to join friends from the Nocturnes, the San Francisco Bay Area night photography group currently celebrating its 20th year. We met in the afternoon for the traditional social stuff - tour of the island, sharing photographs, and pizza - and then headed out after the sun set. (Night photographers are probably the only people who look out the window and mutter, "Ah, its still golden hour. Let's not go out yet..." ;-)
These giant steel towers are among the most iconic structures at the historic ship yard. As I understand it, they were originally part of a system used to move very heavy materials (such as ship engines) from shops to the water's edge. Virtually everyone who photographs here indulges in photographing these towers and even after you have photographed the place as many times as I have they are still a source of interest. Recent work on the island has opened up a section of the water front that was previously off-limits, so it was possible to walk right beside these shell towers as they stretched out toward the water. Working from almost directly beneath them, I lined up a couple of the towers in night darkness, in which the towers were lit by nearby security lights.

The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its tenants, the Palace lies on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London.
At the north end of the Palace rises the most famous of the towers, the Elizabeth Tower, commonly known as Big Ben. At 96 metres (316 ft), it is only slightly shorter than the Victoria Tower but much slimmer. It houses the Great Clock of Westminster, built by Edward John Dent on designs by amateur horologist Edmund Beckett Denison.
Striking the hour to within a second of the time, the Great Clock achieved standards of accuracy considered impossible by 19th-century clockmakers, and it has remained consistently reliable since it entered service in 1859. The time is shown on four dials 7 metres (23 ft) in diameter, which are made of milk glass and are lit from behind at night; the hour hand is 2.7 metres (8 ft 10 in) long and the minute hand 4.3 metres (14 ft).
