Il Siberian Husky è un cane di taglia media di lontana origine siberiana. È una razza da lavoro anche se è diventato fra i più apprezzati cani da compagnia.

L' husky siberiano (siberian husky) è stato selezionato nella sua forma moderna negli Stati Uniti d'America a partire da cani originari della Siberia, dove era stato allevato per secoli dal popolo dei Ciukci per il traino delle slitte. All'inizio del '900 venne importato da Leonard Seppala in Alaska, dove si stavano iniziando a diffondere le gare tra slitte trainate da cani, nell'ambiente dei cercatori d'oro; per la sua taglia, che era piccola rispetto a quella dei cani allora utilizzati per il lavoro, i cani di Seppala furono derisi con il dispregiativo di “piccoli topi siberiani”. Ma ben presto, a seguito dei loro grandi successi nelle gare, vennero rivalutati.

Un episodio che contribuì alla definitiva consacrazione di questa razza risale al 1925, quando nella città dell'Alaska Nome scoppiò un'epidemia di difterite: a causa delle pessime condizioni climatiche era impossibile raggiungere la città, e allora fu organizzata una staffetta di slitte, trainate da molti Siberian Husky, che riuscirono a far giungere a Nome il siero anti-difterico. Questa staffetta prese il nome di corsa del siero ed ancora oggi viene rievocata con l'Iditarod che ripercorre le stesse tappe dell'epoca.

Nel 1930 il Siberian Husky venne riconosciuto come razza dall'American Kennel Club, per tale ragione il Siberian Husky è una razza americana.

Nell’aprile del 1932, viene pubblicato sull’American Kennel Gazette, il primo standard della razza Siberian Husky

In epoca più recente, gli appassionati europei di Sleddog, ovvero delle gare tra slitte trainate dai cani, hanno incrociato il Siberian Husky e le altre razze nordiche tradizionali, con razze meno resistenti al freddo ma più veloci nella breve distanza, in particolar modo levrieri e Pointer; essendo le corse europee ben più corte di quelle tradizionali (in Europa non ci sono distese di ghiaccio adatte alla lunga distanza) questa selezione ha dato luce a incroci creati appositamente per la corsa su distanze brevi.

Questa pratica tuttavia ha dal principio sollevato diverse polemiche e dubbi riguardo alla deontologia dello snaturare una razza canina tra le più antiche al solo scopo di migliorarne le prestazioni sportive; nonostante diverse richieste siano pervenute alla Federazione Cinofila Internazionale, ad oggi il così nominato Alaskan husky rimane una varietà non riconosciuta come razza.

Pur essendo un cane da tiro, quindi robusto e muscoloso possiede una struttura elegante, leggera, e, soprattutto, ben proporzionata. Ha un cranio leggermente arrotondato che, insieme al muso che si restringe verso il tartufo, contribuisce a far risaltare il suo aspetto lupino. Gli occhi a mandorla, leggermente obliqui, possono essere marroni, ambra, azzurri o eterocromi (un occhio di un colore e uno di un altro o due colori nello stesso occhio). L'idea secondo cui tutti gli husky dovrebbero avere occhi azzurri è dettata solo da una moda. Le orecchie, portate erette e vicine tra loro, sono piccole, per disperdere meno calore, e ben fornite di pelo, per sopportare meglio le temperature polari a cui, spesso, sono esposti. Stop ben marcato. Gli arti sono muscolosi e bene in appiombo. La coda, detta coda di volpe, è portata a scimitarra: non deve assolutamente essere arrotolata sul dorso o sul fianco. Il pelo è doppio e di lunghezza media, mai così lungo da nascondere il profilo del cane. Nonostante il folto pelo gli Husky non soffrono il caldo né più né meno delle altre razze a pelo corto, perché il loro pelo non solo li protegge dal freddo, ma funge da isolante contro il caldo.

Per quanto concerne il pelo, in verità, il siberian husky ne è dotato di un doppio strato, di cui uno folto alla base, come una vera e propria pelliccia, e l'altro un po' più lungo e meno serrato. Questa caratteristica gli consente di avere una "straordinaria" protezione termica che gli evita il formarsi del ghiaccio sul pelo, che altrimenti porterebbe l'animale ad una morte certa, vista la rigidità climatica degli ambienti nordici in cui spesso è chiamato ad operare. Per il suo impiego nei territori artici, il pelo del siberian, dunque non potrà mai essere lungo poiché permetterebbe al gelo di solidificarsi addosso all'animale e lo farebbe morire di ipotermia. Per quanto concerne lo standard della razza, il muso del siberian Husky deve avere un rapporto uno - ad uno, e deve essere tozzo, mai a punta, cosiddetto a lupoide. Inoltre, contrariamente a quanto affermato da pochi giudici di gara, che ne contestano la presenza, il Siberian Husky può presentare delle striature rosa sul tartufo nero, senza precluderne assolutamente il suo standard di razza, cosiddetto tartufo da neve. Per il suo carattere docile e socievole,non potrà mai essere impiegato come cane da guardia, ma è un cane molto intelligente. Per la sua natura, che lo vede impiegato per il traino delle slitte, in percorsi di piccola e media lunghezza, in territori climaticamente ostili, l'animale ha il bisogno continuo di "esplorare" il territorio che lo circonda, che gli consente di fare rientro al suo accampamento.

Hellfest 2017 Clisson 44

Le Hellfest, également appelé Hellfest Summer Open Air, est un festival de musique français spécialisé dans les musiques extrêmes, annuellement organisé au mois de juin à Clisson en Loire-Atlantique. Sa forte fréquentation le fait figurer parmi les plus importants festivals de musique français. Il est aussi l'un des plus grands festivals de metal en Europe et le premier en France.

Il trouve son origine dans un autre festival musical, le Furyfest, qui se tient de 2002 à 2005 dans différents lieux des Pays de la Loire ; le Hellfest en prend la suite en 2006 puis connaît, en quelques années, une hausse continue de sa fréquentation, passant de 22 000 pour la première édition à 152 000 entrées payantes en 2015.

Sa programmation est avant tout centrée sur le hard rock et le metal pour les deux scènes principales, tandis que chacune des quatre autres scènes du festival est dédiée à un style plus particulier comme le black metal, le death metal, le punk hardcore, le doom metal ou le stoner rock, s'assurant ainsi la présence de groupes tels que Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, ZZ Top, Motörhead et KISS, tout autant que celle de Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Cannibal Corpse ou Anthrax.

Ginkgo vem do chinês Yin (prata) e Hing (alperce) em referência à aparência das suas sementes. É uma planta dióica (cada árvore tem o seu sexo próprio) que simboliza o macho e a fêmea para os budistas, que a plantam à frente dos santuários. É uma planta venerada na cultura chinesa e japonesa; as suas folhas, douradas no Outono, foram utilizadas como moeda. Foi introduzida na Europa em 1730, nos parques e centros urbanos, porque tem uma boa facilidade de adapatação e de resistência à poluição. Foi a primeira árvore que renasceu depois da bomba de Hiroshima.

En "The Roxy Live Bar", ubicado en Coronel Niceto Vega 5542, Capital Federal, Argentina.

Dimanche matin, le lent cortège des différentes embarcations à voiles, des plus traditionnelles aux plus high-tech, a pris le départ de Saint-Malo. Sous une légère brise, les équipages ont croisé au large et ont rejoint la pointe du Grouin, puis ont longé le littoral depuis Port-Mer, Port-Picain, Port-Briac, l'île des Rimains, le Rocher de Cancale puis le port de la Houle, à marée haute.

Les touristes et les amateurs de navigation étaient à terre pour observer ce ballet depuis les chemins côtiers et le port. Pour les néophytes, cette manifestation est davantage un spectacle qu'un défi nautique et les résultats des régates importent surtout pour les marins, qui pourront garder un souvenir de leur participation au dos de leur tee-shirt.

Vers Chausey et Granville

« Un concours photo a lieu pendant quatre jours, jusqu'à mardi. Les équipages et les spectateurs peuvent participer, a rappelé l'un des organisateurs. La meilleure photo prise sur l'eau sera récompensée par un tirage de l'affiche du Branlebas de régates édition 2015, signé par l'artiste et l'équipe organisatrice du Branlebas. À terre, la personne dont le cliché remportera l'adhésion du jury gagnera deux places pour une sortie en mer sur un trimaran avec Gilles Lamiré. »

À l'origine, ces challenges permettaient aux plaisanciers et aux pêcheurs de se mesurer sur leurs aptitudes de tacticiens à tirer le meilleur parti de leurs bateaux. Une longue histoire sportive en mer, qui perdure. Cet événement est très attendu des passionnés, car les conditions physiques entrent en ligne de compte.

Une parade des voiliers à la Houle a clos les épreuves en fin d'après-midi, suivie d'un moment de détente et de camaraderie à Port-Mer, dans une ambiance de chants de marin avec le groupe des Pirates.

Une nouvelle étape est prévue vers Chausey depuis Cancale, puis jusqu'à Granville, nouveauté 2015, avec, enfin, le retour sur Saint-Malo.

La première partie du Branlebas de régates s'est achevée, samedi, à Saint-Malo, dans des conditions idéales, malgré l'annulation de la première manche, due à un faible vent.

Les bateaux du Branlebas de régates 2015 ont mis toutes voiles dehors, direction Cancale, pour la deuxième partie de la compétition, ce dimanche.

Samedi, la première étape s'est achevée à Saint-Malo dans des conditions idéales, avec un grand soleil et un vent soufflant entre 12 et 15 noeuds.

Des conditions idéales

Une belle fin d'étape, après l'annulation de la première manche, le matin, à cause de vents trop faibles.

La première partie du Branlebas de régates 2015 a été remportée par Arnaud Legal, dans le groupe des voiliers classiques. Dans le groupe Osiris, Luke Berry se place en première position, alors que Theo Efflam rafle la première place du podium, dans la catégorie Muscadet.

Le classement, provisoire, évoluera avec la suite de la compétition.

Les régates ont fait le bonheur des quelques badauds, réunis sur le Môle des noires, pour la parade de 16h30. Stars de l'événement, la bisquine Cancalaise et le Marie-Fernand, ont fait crépiter les appareils photo des spectateurs.

Les bateaux du Branlebas de régates ont vogué sur les eaux malouines, samedi. Environ 70 navires étaient au départ des deux étapes de la course, à 14 h, puis à 16 h 30. Les amateurs ont côtoyé de grands navigateurs, comme Thibaut Vauchel-Camus, second de la Route du Rhum 2014.

S'il n'y avait pas foule sur le Môle des Noires pour admirer le spectacle, les quelques badauds venus photographier les régates étaient ravis. Parmi les bateaux se trouvaient des petits bijoux. Le voilier Marie-Fernand, classé Monument historique, participait pour la troisième fois. Construit en 1894, il conserve son apparence d'époque, lorsqu'il ramenait les pilotes jusqu'aux navires arrivant au port.

L'étape malouine du Branlebas de régates s'est achevée dans des conditions idéales, malgré l'annulation de la première manche, le matin, due à des vents trop faibles. Les régates ont ensuite mis toutes voiles dehors, direction Cancale, pour la deuxième étape, hier.

Le Branlebas s'est élancé. Plus de 70 bateaux inscrits dont 22 classiques, ce qui marque un record dans cette catégorie et permet même deux classements différents : gréements auriques et les gréements marconis. Un temps magnifique a accompagné, hier, la première journée du Branlebas de Régates. Parade sous le soleil La première course du matin a dû être annulée faute de vent mais la flotte est bien repartie dès l'après-midi des Ébihens pour rentrer vers la cité corsaire. Un vent de face a permis de tirer de longs bords de près et une belle redescente au portant jusqu'à Saint-Malo. À 16 h 45 a commencé la course parade entre Classiques, Osiris et Muscadets. Le spectacle était visible depuis la cité d'Aleth, le Môle des Noires, mais aussi des plages du Môle et de Bonsecours bondées de monde. Côté course, en temps réel, c'est le Class 40, de Thibaut Vauchel Camus, qui a remporté la deuxième manche à près de six minutes du second. Chez les Classiques, c'est le cotre aurique de 1908 qui est arrivé premier. Parmi les Muscadets, Bouge Tranquille a pris la première place. Mais rien n'est joué : les temps doivent être compensés par les différents handicaps et le Branlebas dure encore trois jours. Aujourd'hui, c'est la jetée de la Houle de Cancale qui accueille le spectacle dès 15 h.

Pendant quatre jours, près de 80 équipages vont batailler, dans une ambiance bon enfant, au large de la Cité corsaire, et même jusqu'à Granville (Manche).

Inspiré des grandes joutes nautiques organisées au milieu du XIXe siècle dans la région, le Branlebas de régates part du port des Bas Sablons, ce samedi matin, à 9 h 55. Pendant quatre jours, jusqu'à mardi, près de 80 équipages vont se tirer la bourre entre Saint-Malo, Les Hébihens, Cancale, Chausey, et, pour la première fois, jusqu'à Granville (Manche). « Le port de Granville fête ses quarante ans cette année. On a donc souhaité y passer pour participer aux festivités », explique Christian Rouxel, responsable de la communication de la Société nautique de la baie de Saint-Malo (SNBSM).

Une course parade se tient aujourd'hui dans la baie de Saint-Malo, visible par le public depuis le Môle des Noires. « On a essayé de reproduire l'esprit des régates du XIXe, qui se déroulaient en public pour le 14-Juillet. »

Bonne ambiance

Le Branlebas permet aux plaisanciers, désireux de participer à la course, de se mesurer aux pêcheurs et vieux loups de mer. « Mais la course se déroule dans une très bonne ambiance ! » souligne Marie, agent immobilier, qui prend le départ de la course pour la deuxième fois.

Des embarcations exceptionnelles prendront le départ de la régate, comme le Marie-Fernand, un voilier havrais classé monument historique. Aussi, la course séduit de grands navigateurs, tels que Servane Escoffier, Gilles Lamiré et Thibaut Vauchel-Camus, second de la Route du Rhum 2014 en monocoque Class 40.

Le Branlebas des Régates est une course de bateaux historiques qui se disputera du 8 au 11 août.

La Société nautique de la baie de Saint-Malo, organisatrice, espère réunir cent concurrents, notamment des Anglais. La flotte ira alors, et c'est une nouveauté, à Granville.

Les régates historiques de la côte d'émeraude de la fin du XIXe siècle voyaient se mesurer les bisquines, les bateaux de pêche, les yachts de plaisanciers.

Le spectacle haut en couleur était visible de la terre. L'esprit est resté. Sur le Branlebas, on s'affronte à bord de la Cancalaise, la Granvillaise, le Reder Mor et les cotres pilotes malouins Yseult et Marie-Claude.

On se mesure aussi en IRC, osiris, muscadets, HN1, HN2 et Cornish crabber, sans oublier les Old gaffers.

C'est à la fois une belle fête sur l'eau et à terre pendant les escales et un parcours technique sur quatre jours.

Cette année, les Anglais pourraient embarquer les plus nombreux. Motiver les skippers La course a été relancée dans le milieu des années 90 par l'équipe de la SNBSM (Société nautique de la baie de Saint-Malo) autour de Jean-François Revert.

Son ambition : motiver les jeunes à participer aux régates et faire sortir les bateaux des bassins.

Depuis, au gré des éditions, près d'une centaine de bateaux participent à l'événement.

Une fête de la voile et de l'amitié, puisque des soirées festives attendent les marins dans les ports.

Pour François Lognoné, le coordinateur de l'édition 2015, « l'objectif est d'atteindre les cent bateaux ». Alors, et ce sera la grande nouveauté, la flotte ira à Granville. «

On se tourne vers l'Est, vers Chausey et Granville. C'est important pour attirer les Anglais. On met le paquet pour avoir les classiques », ajoute Christian Rouxel, chargé des relations partenaires.

Rendez-vous pour quatre jours de régates ouvertes à tous les voiliers habitables, du 8 au 11 août 2015.

L'histoire du Branlebas de régates se conjugue avec celle de Saint-Malo.

Au milieu du XIXe siècle, de grandes joutes nautiques opposaient pêcheurs aux yatchmen.

La SNBSM, associée aux clubs de la Côte d'Emeraude, entend faire revivre ce temps fort en organisant une fête de la mer du 8 au 11 août.

À la Fête de la mer, il y a bien sûr le côté sportif où on voit les bateaux de tout type, Muscadet, Shrimpers, Cornish-crabber, cotres, bisquines... se mesurer pour espérer une place sur le podium. Mais ce qui prédomine, c'est le côté convivial d'une manifestation nautique qui veut rassembler le plus largement possible en espérant retrouver l'esprit qui régnait à l'époque des grandes régates municipales.

Le public à terre n'est pas laissé de côté. Bien au contraire : Malouins, Cancalais et touristes pourront jouir du spectacle sur l'eau en se postant sur les deux ports de la Côte d'Émeraude.

Invitation aux jeunes « On essaie d'avoir le plus de bateaux, confirme de son côté Christian Rouxel, le chargé de communication de la société nautique malouine. De Saint-Malo, Bretagne, France mais aussi de Grande-Bretagne ».

Cette année, le record à battre est de 106. « L'idée est aussi d'attirer les jeunes et leur donner le gout de la mer. Pour cela, le club s'engage à leur payer leur licence tout en incitant les propriétaires de bateaux à embarquer des novices. Côté prix, justement, on a voulu jouer soft.

Pour quatre jours, il se monte à 50 €. » Quatre jours intenses Ces quatre jours seront bien remplis.

Le samedi, la flotte mettra le cap sur les Ébihens avant de revenir à Saint-Malo. Le dimanche, direction Cancale avec, le soir, le traditionnel dîner en plein air à Port-Mer.

Le lundi, les bateaux rallieront Granville via les îles Chausey.

Et le mardi, retour à la cité corsaire. Des prix et trois trophées « Nous sommes heureux de faire escale à Granville qui fête cette année les 40 ans de son port », se réjouit à l'avance François Lognoné, le coordinateur du Branlebas 2015 qui sera accueilli gratuitement dans le port normand.

Au total, huit courses seront organisées avec, à la clé, des prix attribués à chaque catégorie et trois trophées : celui du Yacht club de France (fair play), Raymond Labbé (concours d'élégance) et Marin Marie pour les bateaux classiques.

("Our Lady Queen of the Angels")

Four years after that of San Jose, the settlement ("pueblo") at Los Angeles was the second established by the Spanish colonial government in what is now California, in 1781.

In this case, it was founded in order to support the nearby mission of San Gabriel, some twenty km away. The mission providing regular religious services for the original population of 44 people, the pueblo got by with only a chapel until the early 1800's. Flooding of the Los Angeles River, by which it sat, ruined it however, leading to removal of the settlement higher up the bank, and the completion of a new, full-fledged church at this location in 1822.

As the oldest one in Los Angeles, it has been modified several times over the years, both inside and out, including a virtual rebuild in 1861. Despite that, it's retained much of the style of its Spanish colonial origins, to which it bears witness in the midst of the modern megalopolis.

A designated California Historical Landmark.

www.dailymotion.com/video/xk6xui?playlist=x34ije , www.dailymotion.com/video/xk1dh2?playlist=x34ije :- que dire de RICARDO BOFFIL Les meilleures balades que j’ai fait autour de Paris je les ai faites dans l’application Plans. Je ne minore pas le rôle de Google Maps, révolution cartographique sans précédent et sans égale, qui aura réalisé nos fantasmes d’Aleph borgesien — l’idée d’un point d’où le monde serait visible en totalité — parachevé Mercator et permis d’explorer des parties du globe inconnues de Cook, Bougainville et Amundsen. Je n’oublie pas non plus cet exercice de cartographie au collège, qui nous avait démontré que nous étions à 3 cartes IGN de la capitale, et que le tissu urbain était de plus en plus serré à mesure que nous avancions vers le nord. Mais Plan possédait une fonctionnalité inédite, le Flyover, technologie à l’origine destinée aux pilotes de chasse, et qui fournissait des rendus 3D spectaculaire des bâtiments survolés — ainsi que des arbres et des déclivités du sol.On quittait enfin les champs asphyxiants de la photographie aérienne pour des vues à l’oblique des villes visitées : après un siècle d’écrasement — la photographie aérienne est étroitement contemporaine du bombardement aérien — les villes reprenaient enfin de la vigueur et remontaient vers le ciel. J’avais d’ailleurs effectué moi-même une manœuvre de redressement similaire le jour où j’étais parti, à pied depuis Paris, visiter à Nanterre une exposition sur la photographie aérienne. J’étais à la quête des premières vues de Paris qu’avait prises Nadar depuis un ballon captif. À défaut de ces images, définitivement manquantes, j’avais parcouru, après la Grande Arche, les derniers kilomètres de la Voie Royale, cette prodigieuse perspective historique partie du Louvre — rare exemple de frise chronologique implémentée dans une structure urbanistique.J’avais en réalité un peu dévié de la ligne droite pour aller voir les tours Nuages d’Emile Aillaud, le Facteur Cheval du modernisme, dont je connaissais déjà les autres chefs d’œuvres d'architecture naïve, les nouilles chinoises de Grigny et le spaghetti de Pantin.C’était précisément l’usage que j’avais fait de l’application Plans : j’étais parti à la recherche de tous les groupements de tour qu’elle m’avait permis d’identifier, sur mon iPad. Je les faisais tourner avec deux doigts, comme un éclaireur qui marcherait autour d’un donjon, avant de les immortaliser, sous leur plus bel angle, par une capture d’écran.Un éclaireur autour d’un donjon : c’était exactement cela, qui m’avait fasciné. Les guerres territoriales entre Les Tarterêts de Corbeil et les Pyramides d’Evry avaient marqué mon enfance. La notion de cité, telle qu’elle avait été définie, à partir des années 80, dans le second âge des grands ensembles, l’âge du déclin, avait conservé un cachet médiéval. Ici, vivaient guetteurs et trafiquants, condottieres à la tête d’une écurie de go-fast et entretenant des chenils remplis de mâtins rares et dangereux. Ici, l’État central ne remplissait plus ses tâches régaliennes, ici la modernité laïque était entrée en crise. Mais ce que j’avais découvert, en collectionnant ces captures d’écran, c’était à quel point l’urbanisme de la banlieue parisienne était, strictement, d’obédience médiévale. On était passé, d’un seul mouvement et sans même s’en rendre compte de Château-Gaillard à la Cité 4000, du Donjon de Vincennes aux tours de Sarcelles, du château de Gisors aux choux fleurs de Créteil.J’ai même retrouvé la colonne détruite du désert de Retz dans le babylonien château d’eau de Noisiel.Des hauteurs de Rosny à celle de Chanteloup, du plateau de Clichy à la dalle d’Argenteuil, on avait bizarrement livré des pastiches inconscients de la grande architecture militaire médiévales : les environs de Paris s’étaient retrouvés à nouveau fortifiés, la vieille tour de Montlhéry n’était plus solitaire, et même les immeubles de briques rouges qui avaient succédé à l’enceinte de Thiers évoquaient des murailles.

Et ce que j’avais initialement pris pour des anomalies, des accidents malheureux du post-modernisme, les grand ensembles voûtés et cannelés de Ricardo Boffil, étaient peut-être ce qui exprimait le mieux tout cela — ou du moins qui clôturaient avec le génie le plus clair cet âge des grands ensembles.

Car c’était cela, ces Carcassonnes, ces Acropoles, ces Atlandides qui surnageaient avec le plus de conviction au milieu des captures d’écrans de ruines médiévales qui s’accumulaient sur mon bureau.

Si décriées, dès leur construction, pour leur kitch intolérable ces mégastructures me sont soudain apparues comme absolument nécessaires.

Si les Villes Nouvelles n’ont jamais existé, et persisteront dans la mémoire des hommes, elles le doivent à ces rêveries bizarres et grandioses, à ces hybridations impossibles entre les cités idéales de Ledoux et les utopies corbuséennes.

L’Aqueduc de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, les Espaces d’Abraxas à Marne-la-Vallée, les Colonnes de Saint-Christophe à Cergy-Pontoise sont les plus belles ruines du Grand Paris.

www.franceculture.fr/emissions/la-conclusion/ricardo-bofill immerssion dans le monde du logement social, l'univers des logements sociaux, des H.B.M au H.L.M - Retour sur l'histoire du logement collectif d'apres guerre - En Françe, sur l’ensemble du territoire avant, 4 millions d’immeubles étaient vétustes, dont 500.000 à démolir; au total 10% des logements étaient considérés comme insalubres et 40% réputés d’une qualité médiocre, et surpeuplés. C’est pour ces raisons que, à partir de 1954, le Ministre à la Reconstruction et au Logement évalue le besoin en logements à 2.000.660, devenant ainsi une priorité nationale. Quelques années plus tard à l’appel de l’Abbé Pierre, le journaliste Gilbert Mathieu, en avril 1957 publiait dans le quotidien Le Monde une série d’articles sur la situation dramatique du logement : Logement, notre honte et dénonçant le nombre réduit de logements et leur impitoyable état. Robert Doisneau, Banlieue après-guerre, 1943-1949 /Le mandat se veut triple : reconstruire le parc immobilier détruit durant les bombardements essentiellement du printemps/été 1944, faire face à l’essor démographique et enfin résorber l’habitat insalubre notamment les bidonvilles et les cités de transit. Une ambition qui paraît, dès le début, très élevée, associée à l’industrialisation progressive de la nation entre autre celle du secteur de la construction (voir le vidéo de l’INA du 17 juillet 1957 intitulée La crise du logement, un problème national. Cela dit, l’effort pour l’État français était d’une ampleur jamais vue ailleurs. La double nécessité de construire davantage et vite, est en partie la cause de la forme architecturale excentrique qui constituera les Grands Ensembles dans les banlieues françaises. Cinq caractéristiques permettent de mieux comprendre ce terme : la rupture avec le tissu urbain ancien, un minimum de mille logements, une forme collective (tours, barres) de quatre jusqu’à vingt niveaux, la conception d’appartements aménagés et équipés et enfin une gestion destinée pour la plupart à des bailleurs de logement social.

Pour la banlieue parisienne leur localisation s’est opérée majoritairement dans la périphérie, tandis que dans les autres cas, plus de la moitié a été construite dans le centre ville, le plus souvent à la limite des anciens faubourgs.

Architecture d’Aujourd’hui n° 46, 1953 p. 58-55

C’est le triomphe de l’urbanisme fonctionnel et rationaliste cher à Le Corbusier. Entre 1958 et 1973, cent quatre-vingt-quinze Zones à Urbaniser en Priorité (ZUP) sont créées, comprenant deux millions de logements, essentiellement de type populaire en Habitations à Loyer Modéré (HLM), mais pas exclusivement, remplaçant ainsi les anciennes Habitations à Bon Marché (HBM) crées en 1894. Selon le décret du 27 mars 1954 qui en fixe les conditions d’attribution, les bénéficiaires de la législation n’ont pas changé, ce sont toujours des « personnes peu fortunées vivant principalement de leur salaire », selon la loi Strauss de 1906. En 1953, tous les HLM voient leur surface maximale se réduire, en passant de 71 à 65 mètres carrés pour un quatre pièces. L’accès au logement des familles modestes se fera donc au détriment de la qualité et quantité de l’espace habité pour des familles nombreuses. À ce propos, le sociologue Thierry Oblet a bien montré comment se sont articulées les pensées des architectes et des ingénieurs modernistes, avec leur souci planificateur d’un État interventionniste[8] grâce à l’hégémonie du béton, de la ligne droite et de la standardisation de la construction.

Les exemples de cette architecture restent nombreux : de la Cité de 4000 (pour 4000 logements) à la Courneuve en Seine-Saint-Denis (93) aux logements de 15 étages aux balcons pétales, appelés « Chou-fleur » à Créteil en Val-de Marne (94) dessinés au début des années 70 par l’architecte Gérard Grandval. De la Cité des nuages à Nanterre dans les Hauts-de-Seine (92) à la Grande borne construite entre 1967 et 1971 sur le territoire des communes de Grigny et Viry-Châtillon, dans l’Essonne (91) en passant par la Noé à Chanteloup-les-Vignes dans le département des Yvelines (78) scénario du célèbre film La Haine[9] de Kassovits.

Récemment, plusieurs expositions photographiques se sont

concentrées sur cette nouvelle figure de l’urbanisme fonctionnaliste français de l’après-guerre. Par exemple Toit&Moi, 100 ans de logement social (2012), Les Grands ensembles 1960-2010 (2012) produite par l’école supérieure d’arts & médias de Caen/Cherbourg, selon un projet du Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication. Enfin l’exposition Photographie à l’œuvre, (2011-2012) d’Henri Salesse, photographe du service de l’inventaire du Ministère de la Reconstruction et de l’Urbanisme et Voyage en périphérie (2012) de Cyrus Cornut.

Il s’agissait là non seulement d’un progrès matériel, mais aussi démocratique, donnant ainsi à chaque citoyen, la possibilité d’accéder à son petit appartement doté de tous les conforts de l’époque. La recherche d’économie et de rapidité dans la conduite des chantiers portent à l’utilisation du béton comme matériel privilégié et à des plans architecturaux aussi simples que possible avec la réalisation de logements standardisés, dont les barres et les tours deviennent les figures principales : Au mitan des années cinquante, apparurent d’étranges formes urbaines. Des immeubles d’habitation de plus en plus longs et de plus en plus hauts, assemblés en blocs qui ne s’intégraient pas aux villes existantes. Ces blocs s’en différenciaient ostensiblement et parfois comme systématiquement, s’en isolaient. Ils semblaient faire ville à part. Surtout ils ne ressemblaient pas à ce qu’on avait l’habitude d’appeler ville. Et leur architecture aussi, qui était tellement déroutante. On les a nommés » grands ensembles. Cité de l’Abreuvoir, Bobigny (93), 2003 (Inventaire général du Patrimoine, Région Ile de France / Stéphane Asseline)

Bref, entre 1946 et 1975 le parc immobilier français passe de 12,7 millions à 21 millions de logements. Environ 8 millions de ceux-ci sont neufs, construits entre 1953-1975 – dont la moitié sous forme de grands ensembles – et près de 80 % des logements grâce à une aide de l’État avec des crédits publics. Le nombre de logements sociaux passe de moins de 500.000 à près de 3 millions, dont 43 % en région parisienne, où la demande est la plus forte[11]. Ce qui témoigne d’un effort énorme. Secrétariat d’État à la Reconstruction et au Logement, Supplément du logement en 1954, cité par Bachmann, C. Le Guennec, N., Violences urbaines…Op.cit, p.24. Alors que l’hiver 1954 est particulièrement rigoureux, l’abbé Pierre lance un appel en faveur des sans-logis et déshérités et organise des collectes de vêtements et de nourriture pour les plus démunis. Cela nous rappelle également que les inégalités sociales restaient particulièrement importantes à l’époque, malgré les débuts de la croissance économique, et que la crise du logement n’était pas encore complètement résolue. Danièle Voldman, La reconstruction des villes françaises de 1940 à 1954 : histoire d’une politique, Paris, L’Harmattan, 1997. Les Actualités françaises, La crise du logement, un problème national, 17 juillet, 1957, in fresques.ina.fr/…/la-crise-du-logement-un-probleme-n…, consulté le 20/02/2014. C’est l’urbaniste Marcel Rotival dans un numéro d’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui de juin 1935 (vol.1, n°6, juin 1935, p.57) qui propose pour la première fois cette terminologie pour désigner les Habitations à Bon Marché (HBM) et leur transformation en Habitations à Loyer Modéré (HLM), par la loi du 21 juillet 1951: « Nous espérons, un jour, sortir des villes comme Paris, non seulement par l’avenue des Champs Elysées, la seule réalisation de tenue sans laquelle Paris n’existerait pas, mais sortir par Belleville, par Charonne, par Bobigny, etc., et trouver harmonieusement disposés le long de larges autostrades, au milieu de grands espaces boisés, de parcs, de stades, de grandes cités claires, bien orientées, lumineusement éclairées par le soleil. » Largement reprise depuis les années 1950 dans le jargon administratif et public, elle apparaît pour la première fois dans un texte officiel qu’en 1973 avec la Circulaire Guichard, alors Ministre de l’Aménagement du territoire, de l’Equipement, du Logement et du tourisme. Celui-ci met un terme à la politique initiée après-guerre afin « d’empêcher la réalisation des formes d’urbanisation désignées généralement sous le nom de “grands ensembles”, peu conforme aux aspirations des habitants et sans justification économique sérieuse ». Paradoxalement, le terme de grands ensembles s’officialise donc au moment même où ils son mis en question. ZUP est un acronyme qui signifie Zone à Urbaniser en Priorité. Elles ont été créées par le décret N°58-1464 du 31 décembre 1958, afin de planifier et d’encadrer sur le territoire national, le développement urbain pour répondre à la carence de logements face à l’accroissement démographique et favoriser enfin la résorption de l’habitat insalubre. Oblet, Thierry, Gouverner la ville. Les voies urbaines de la démocratie moderne, Paris, PUF, 2003. En particulier par l’intermédiaire de la Société centrale de construction et de la Société centrale pour l’équipement du territoire, créées au milieu des années 1950 en tant que filiales de la Caisse des dépôts et consignations.

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement". S’il est précisé "on peut aimer ou de ne pas aimer ce style", l’emporte au final l’argument suivant : les grands ensembles, c'est la campagne à la ville, un urbanisme plus aéré, plus vert." les films caravelles 1956, Réalisateur : Jack Pinoteau (connu pour être le metteur en scène du film Le Triporteur 1957 qui fit découvrir Darry Cowl) www.dailymotion.com/video/xuz3o8?playlist=x34ije - www.dailymotion.com/video/xk1g5j?playlist=x34ije Brigitte Gros - Urbanisme - Filmer les grands ensembles 2016 - par Camille Canteux chercheuse au CHS -Centre d'Histoire Sociale - Jeanne Menjoulet - Ce film du CHS daté de 2014 www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDUBwVPNh0s … L'UNION SOCIALE POUR L'HABITAT le Musée des H.L.M. musee-hlm.fr/ union-habitat.org/ - EXPOSITION :LES 50 ANS DE LA RESIDENCe SALMSON POINT-Du JOUR www.salmsonlepointdujour.fr/pdf/Exposition_50_ans.pdf - Sotteville Construction de l’Anjou, le premier immeuble de la Zone Verte sottevilleaufildutemps.fr/2017/05/04/construction-de-limm... - www.20minutes.fr/paris/diaporama-7346-photo-854066-100-an... - www.ladepeche.fr/article/2010/11/02/940025-140-ans-en-arc... dreux-par-pierlouim.over-blog.com/article-chamards-1962-9... missionphoto.datar.gouv.fr/fr/photographe/7639/serie/7695...

'Post Pop: East Meets West', Saatchi Gallery, London

The Origin of the Nostalgic Social Realism by Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, oil & tempura on canvas, 1982-83

Post Pop: East Meets West

26 November 2014 - 23 February 2015

'The exhibition brings together 250 works by 110 artists from China, the Former Soviet Union, Taiwan, the UK and the USA in a comprehensive survey celebrating Pop Art's legacy. Post Pop: East Meets West examines why of all the twentieth century's art movements, Pop Art has had such a powerful influence over artists from world regions that have had very different and sometimes opposing ideologies.

The exhibition celebrates the art being produced in these four distinct regions since the heyday of Pop, and presents them in relation to each other through the framework of six themes: Habitat; Advertising and Consumerism; Celebrity and Mass Media; Art History; Religion and Ideology; Sex and the Body.

Widely regarded as the most significant art movement of the last century, Pop Art exploited identifiable imagery from mass media and everyday life to reflect on the nature of the world we live in. This exhibition examines the relationship between western Pop Art and its lesser-known eastern counterparts including "Sots Art" in the Soviet Union and "Political-Pop" or "Cynical Realism", which has flourished in Greater China since the turn of the twenty-first century.

Using humour and a vernacular language, and borrowing freely from popular culture, Pop Art gave subsequent generations of artists the licence to exploit popular visual imagery and to connect with the public through the familiarity of the images being referenced. In the Former Soviet Union the abundance of imagery comparable to mass produced commodities and advertising in the West was propaganda images and text, and in Greater China visual iconography of Socialist Realism.

Although from fundamentally different cultures and ideological backgrounds, the artists in this exhibition play with imagery from commercial advertising, propaganda posters, pictures of the famous as well as monetary and patriotic motifs in wry and provocative works that unmistakably reference the Pop Art movement which emerged in America and Britain in the 1950s and 1960s. In the Soviet Union region these works draw attention to state control, conformity, ceremony, pomp and the façade of unanimity amongst the people; in America and the UK they serve as a critique of commodity fetishism, the cult of celebrity and our mass-produced, status-driven man-made world; and in Greater China as commentary on the social dislocation created by a new super power's fascination with wealth and luxury following a period of extreme austerity.

Sa Pa, or Sapa, is a frontier township and capital of Sa Pa District in Lào Cai Province in northwest Vietnam. It is one of the main market towns in the area, where several ethnic minority groups such as Hmong, Dao (Yao), Giáy, Pho Lu, and Tay live.

HISTORY

Sa Pa is a frontier township and capital of Sa Pa District in Lào Cai Province in northwest Vietnam. It was first inhabited by people we know nothing about. They left in the entire valley hundreds of petroglyphs, mostly composed of lines, which experts think date from the 15th century and represent local cadastres. Then came the highland minorities of the Hmong and Yao. The township is one of the main market ones in the area, where several ethnic minority groups such as Hmong, Dao (Yao), Giáy, Pho Lu, and Tay live. groups, as well as by smaller numbers of Tày and Giay. These are the four main minority groups still present in Sa Pa district today. The Kinh (lowland Vietnamese) never originally colonised this highest of Việt Nam’s valleys, which lies in the shadow of Phan-Xi-Pǎng (Fansipan, 3143 m), the highest peak in the country

It was only when the French debarked in highland Tonkin in the late 1880s that Sa Pa, name of the Hmong hamlet, with "S" is pronounced almost as hard as "Ch" in French, "Sh" in English, "S" in standard Vietnamese, so Chapa as the French called it, began to appear on the national map. Near to the now Sa Pa townlet is "Sa Pả commune", which shows the origin in Hmong language of the location name.[a]

In the following decade, the future site of Sa Pa township started to see military parties as well as missionaries from the Société des Missions Etrangères de Paris (MEP) visit. The French military marched from the Red River Delta into the northern mountainous regions as part of Tonkin's ‘pacification’. In 1894-96 the border between China and Tonkin was formally agreed upon and the Sa Pa area, just to the south of this frontier, was placed under French authority. From 1891 the entire Lào Cai region, including Sa Pa, came under direct colonial military administration so as to curtail banditry and political resistance on the sensitive northern frontier.

The first permanent French civilian resident arrived in Sa Pa in 1909. With its attractive continental climate, health authorities believed the site had potential. By 1912 a military sanatorium for ailing officers had been erected along with a fully fledged military garrison. Then, from the 1920s onwards, several wealthy professionals with enough financial capital also had a number of private villas built in the vicinity.

At the end of the Second World War a long period of hostilities began in Tonkin that was to last until 1954. In the process, nearly all of the 200 or so colonial buildings in or around Sa Pa were destroyed, either by Việt Minh sympathisers in the late 1940s, or, in the early 1950s by French air raids. The vast majority of the Viet population fled for their lives, and the former township entered a prolonged sleep.

In the early 1960s, thanks to the New Economic Zones migration scheme set up by the new Socialist regime, new inhabitants from the lowlands started to migrate to the region.

The short 1979 occupation of the northern border region by Chinese troops had little impact on Sa Pa town, but did force the Kinh (lowland Vietnamese) population out for a month.

In 1993 the last obstacle to Sa Pa's full rebirth as a prominent holiday destination was lifted as the decision was made to open the door fully to international tourism. Sa Pa was back on the tourist trail again, this time for a newly emerging local elite tourist crowd, as well as international tourists.

Sapa is now in full economic boom, mainly from the thousands of tourists who come every year to walk the hundreds of miles of trekking trails between and around the villages of Dao villages of Ta Van and Ta Phin.

In 2006, the Chairman of The People's Committee of Sapa Province was elected to The Communist Party Central Committee as the youngest ever member (born in 1973).

GEOGRAPHY

Sa Pa District is located in Lào Cai Province, north-west Vietnam, and 380 km north-west of Hanoi, close to the border with China. The Hoàng Liên Son range of mountains dominates the district, which is at the eastern extremity of the Himalayas. This range includes Vietnam's highest mountain, Fan Si Pan, at a height of 3143 m above sea level. The town of Sa Pa lies at an altitude of about 1500 meters above sea level. The climate is moderate and rainy in summer (May-August), and foggy and cold with occasional snowfalls in winter.

Sa Pa is a quiet mountain town and home to a great diversity of ethnic minority peoples. The total population of 36,000 consists mostly of minority groups. Besides the Kinh (Viet) people (15%) there are mainly 5 ethnic groups in Sapa: Hmong 52%, Dao 25%, Tay 5%, Giay 2% and a small number of Xa Pho. Approximately 7,000 live in Sapa, the other 36,000 being scattered in small communes throughout the district.

Most of the ethnic minority people work their land on sloping terraces since the vast majority of the land is mountainous. Their staple foods are rice and corn. Rice, by its very nature of being a labour-intensive crop, makes the daily fight for survival paramount. The unique climate in Sapa has a major influence on the ethnic minorities who live in the area. With sub-tropical summers, temperate winters and 160 days of mist annually, the influence on agricultural yields and health related issues is significant.

The geographical location of the area makes it a truly unique place for many interesting plants and animals, allowing it to support many inhabitants. Many very rare or even endemic species have been recorded in the region.

The scenery of the Sa Pa region in large part reflects the relationship between the minority people and nature. This is seen especially in the paddy fields carpeting the rolling lower slopes of the Hoàng Liên Mountains. The impressive physical landscape which underlies this has resulted from the work of the elements over thousands of years, wearing away the underlying rock. On a clear day, the imposing peak of Fan Si Pan comes into view. The last major peak in the Himalayan chain, Fan Si Pan offers a real challenge to even the keenest walker, the opportunity of staggering views, and a rare glimpse of some of the last remaining primary rain forest in Vietnam.

Geology, climate and human activity have combined to produce a range of very distinct habitats around Sa Pa. Especially important is Sa Pa's geographic position, at the convergence of the world's 14 “biomes” (distinct biographic areas), producing an assemblage of plant and animal species unique in the world.

In 2014, Sapa ranked #9 in the top 10 rice terrace destinations of the world by SpotCoolStuff

ECOLOGICAL LIFE

The Hoàng Liên Mountains are home to a rich variety of plants, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and insects, many only found in northwestern Vietnam. For this reason, the Hoàng Liên Nature Reserve was made a National Park in 2006, and covers much of the mountain range to the immediate south of Sa Pa.

Forest type and quality change with increasing altitude. At 2000 meters the natural, undisturbed forest begins to be seen. Above 2500 meters dwarf conifers and rhododendrons predominate in the harsh “elfin forest”, so called because a lack of topsoil and nutrients means that fully mature trees grow to measure only a few meters in height. Higher still, only the hardiest of plant species are found. At over 3000 meters, Fan Si Pan's summit can only support dwarf bamboo.

TOPOGRAPHY

The Hoang Lien Mountains lie at the southeastern extent of the Himalayan chain. The national park is located on the northeast flank of these mountains and includes Vietnam's highest peak, Fansipan, at 3,143 m. The lowest point is 380 m but most of the national park lies above 1,000 m. The flanks of the mountains are very steep and many areas are almost inaccessible on foot. Between Fansipan Mountain and Sa Pa town, lies the Muong Hoa valley, which has been terraced for wet rice agriculture. This valley becomes wider towards the east of the national park.

CLIMATE

The climate of Hoàng Liên National Park is unique to Vietnam. It is highly seasonal, with a subtropical climate in the summer and a temperate climate during the winter. Under the Köppen climate classification, Sa Pa has a subtropical highland climate (Cwb). Mean annual temperature for Sa Pa town is 15.4 °C, with a maximum of 29.4 °C and a minimum of 1.0 °C. The warmest months are July and August, and the coldest months are December and January. Snow falls in some years on the highest peaks. It has snown in the town itself in 1983, 2000, 16 March 2011, 15 December 2013, and 19 February 2014.

In common with the rest of northern Vietnam, Hoàng Liên National Park experiences a marked wet season from May to September, with the heaviest rainfall occurring in July and August. Mean annual rainfall is 2,763 millimetres, with a high of 4,023 millimetres and a low of 2,064 millimetres. Humidity ranges from 75 to 91 percent with a yearly mean of 86 percent.

Climate varies considerably within the national park. The prevalent wind direction for most of the year is west to east, leading to cloud formation on the upper slopes of the Fansipan massif. These high-altitude areas are covered by cloud most days of the year and have very high humidity. Cloud also penetrates into the valleys but these areas are usually less humid than the mountain slopes. In the extreme east of the national park, around Ban Ho village, mean temperatures are considerably higher due to the lower altitude of these areas.

Extreme temperatures have ranged from −6.1 °C to 33 °C.

GEOLOGY

The geology of Hoàng Liên National Park includes metamorphosed sediments and a granitic intrusion. The metamorphosed sediments strike from northwest to southeast along the Muong Hoa valley. On the northeastern side of the valley is a craggy ridge of marble and metamorphosed carbonate rocks that exhibit a karst style of weathering. These formations are currently being quarried for road building. The valley floor is characterised by schist and, to a lesser extent, gneiss. The granitic intrusion extends from the Muong Hoa River to the summit ridge of Fansipan and beyond. Due to the high humidity and rainfall in the area, chemical weathering is prevalent. This is reflected in the clay nature of the soil.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Before the 1990s, the town's economy was mainly based on small size agriculture.

Tourist arrival between 1995 and 2003 grew from a total of 4,860 to 138,622. On average, 79% of the visitors are Vietnamese and 21% are foreigners.

The people of the Sa Pa area have been very poor even by Vietnam's rural standards. Efforts to improve the situation for the local people include both governmental and non-governmental initiatives. The government of Vietnam and foreign governments have contributed to local development programs. International non-governmental organizations such as Oxfam have also been involved in Sa Pa. Locally, the Hmong-run social enterprise, Sapa O'Chau, organizes volunteer placements, such as English teaching, and visiting through trekking and homestays at local villages for short or long-term periods. Vocational training by the Hoa Sua School also aims to increases skills and earnings potential for local residents.

HYDROLOGY

Hoàng Liên National Park is drained by the Muong Hoa and Ta Trung Ho rivers, which feed the Nam Po River and, finally, the Song Hong (Red) river. The forest has an essential role in water catchment protection, particularly the forest at high altitudes, which is frequently covered in cloud. Water condenses on the vegetation and falls as ‘occult’ precipitation. Occult precipitation makes a major contribution to stream-flow during the dry season when rainfall is low.

VEGETATION

The forest of Hoàng Liên National Park can be classified as belonging to 3 types: sub-montane dry evergreen forest, tropical montane deciduous forest and sub-alpine forest. The sub-montane dry evergreen forest, which occurs at lower altitudes, has been the most heavily disturbed by the activities of man.

In addition to the forest habitats, the national park contains large areas of agricultural land, scrub land and Savannah. Agriculture is concentrated at altitudes below 1,500m, in the bottom of valleys. Scrub land and Savannah areas are found where forest has been cleared: around the edge of cultivated areas and on ridge tops, which have been subjected to burning. A final vegetation type represented at Hoàng Liên National Park is dwarf bamboo. This habitat is confined to the highest ridges of the Fansipan massif, at altitudes above 2,800 m.

Belhelvie churchyard is located approximately 8 miles to the north of Aberdeen. The church served the parish of the same name. Sometimes known as Pettens Kirk and built east-west little remains now but the west gable containing the belfry, sadly devoid of its bell which went missing in the 1960's.

The graveyard itself contains about 350 gravestones, mostly dating from the 19th and 20th centuries. Also of note are two vaults, the smaller of which is partially underground. The exact purpose of this vault is unclear but is likely to have its origins from the time of the Resurrectionists - or body snatchers!

The church was built from roughly-coursed granite rubble, with slightly better quality granite blocks in the surviving south section of south wall. The west gable, which is complete, has a rectangular door at ground level with a rectangular window above at gallery level. There is a blocked rectangular window to the south of the door. On the apex of the gable is a tall, rectangular bellcote with ashlar masonry (so-called 'birdcage' type). It is dated 1762. Only a fragment of a stone finial survives.

The 1633 bell was stolen in 1966. Only a very small section of the north and south walls survive at the west end, as well as a fragment of the south aisle (which formed the T-plan).

In the graveyard are, unusually, two morthouses. One is a small turf-covered and vaulted structure, set mostly below ground. The other is a larger, later building in the corner of the graveyard. It is rectangular and has a wooden door. It would appear to be in use as a store today.

Fact that the Statistical Account of 1845 reported that the then late minister, the Rev A Forsyth, was the inventor of the percussion cap, which superseded the flint lock!

This is a ruin of a very old church of the parish of Belhelvie which stands on the site of an earlier pagan centre of worship. Sometimes known as Pettens Kirk. There are a number of notable residents buried in the churchyard which include the Rev. Alexander John Forsyth (1769-1843) who invented and developed the Percussion Lock for firearms between 1805 to 1807.

Church of Belhelvie was dedicated to St Neachtan, but at a later date St Columba was made the patron. The church was confirmed to the Bishop of Aberdeen in 1157, along with authority to erect his chapter. By 1256 the church had been erected into a prebend of the cathedral of Aberdeen, with the parochial duties being discharged by a vicar pensioner.

The church is now ruined but was a T-plan church, represented by high W gable with bellcote (dated 1762) and part of S aisle (containing fine but weathered monument to Innes of Blairton). The east wall of the church is probably part of the wall of a Roman Catholic Church. The cemetery is unusual in having two morthouses, one dated 1835. The other, possibly converted from an old aisle, is of uncertain date,.

It comprises a vaulted chamber 2.5m by c.2m, turfed, with an arched and chamfered approached by 5 steps. The water stoup from the medieval church was in the garden of Belhelvie Manse but there is now no trace of it. The bell which was in the bellcote was inscribed 'Henrick-ter-Horst-Me-Fecit-Daventriae-1633' and was stolen in 1966. There is a tombstone of 1722 in the angle of the masonry fragment of the what may have been the S transept, and also a heraldic tomb on the other side of the wall. The churchyard is a rubble-walled enclosure.

I'm a great appreciator of art for its own sake. When the granite carvings of Brent Reeve started sprouting all over the wilderness, they were a mystery to everyone but his personal friends. After asking around for many months, I eventually met the man a few years back. These days, he's gone on to carve a wild array of imaginative images and his signature heads all over my homeland – even in people's front yards. But I love the origin story. He was a man escaping the trauma buzzing in his head, leaving pictures like some modern version of an ancient tribesman on the landscape. The motivation was just getting it out, an escape from the ache of keeping too much inside. It was much the same for me at the start. Though my daily journal has a decent crowd of followers, I was a decade in before I topped a couple dozen. Pushed along by the joy of creating itself, feelings that need sharing. Saying to find your way in the pouring rain, and please, tread on me.

The historic 327 foot Coast Guard Cutter was the most decorated ship in the Coast Guard at the time of her decommissioning and is the only Coast Guard Cutter to have received two Presidential Unit Citations. The menace of drug runners hardly began in the 1970s and 80s. The 327-ft. class of fast attack cutters were needed because of a mid-1930s increase in opium smuggling. But for the Ingham crew, the mission of chasing drug runners along with coastal search and rescue would give way to a new level of danger - WWII and German U-Boats lurking in the North Atlantic.

Ingham would battle through what was called the "Bloody Winter" of 1942-43. German submarines were having their way with allied supply ships until the camouflaged cutters turned the tide. On December 17, 1942 Ingham located what appeared to be a prowling U-boat. Dropping a barrage of depth charges, Ingham recorded its first victory. U-626 went to the bottom with all hands. Ingham would serve in the Pacific as flagship for several troop landings on islands such as Panay and Tigbauanan.

Her long history included dozens of naval gunfire support missions in the Vietnam War and in 1980 rescued at least twenty Cubans in the waters between Florida and Cuba during the Mariel boat lift. Ingham's 52 years of service ended when she was decommissioned on May 27, 1988.

Treasury Class

The Treasury class Coast Guard cutters were all named for former secretaries of the Treasury Department. The origins of the Coast Guard had less to do with drug runners and U-boats and more to do with revenue. In 1790 the nation's first Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton, was ordered by Congress to create a maritime service to enforce customs law. This new service was placed under the control of the Treasury Department.

The cutter on display at Patriots Point was named for Samuel D. Ingham, appointed Treasury Secretary in 1829 by President Andrew Jackson.

There were two seemingly unconnected headlines in a Philippine newspaper today, one listing how the President of the Philippines is purging a large number of leaders as being connected with Narcotics and another mentioning that the leader of the largest nation in the world has consolidated his power to the extent that he can become a lifetime ruler. The manner of Xi's rise to this imperial level of power is claimed to be through the use of a populist "soft coup" against political corruption that left only his friends in power. President Duerte's campaign against narcotics may have the same effect.

In the Chinese case, achieving lifetime presidency via non-democratic means may be claimed to be corrupt.

The taxi driver in whose taxi I was riding claimed that Duerte's family was itself involved in narcotics. This rumour appears to be suggested by circumstantial evidence.

If it were true that these political movements, against corruption and narcotics, were themselves corrupt or involved in narcotics, then they would be another example of the false flag method of dividing oneself into a righteous avenger and hidden evil alter ego, for the purpose of demonising and conquering ones enemies such as is sometimes claimed to have occurred as justifications for the invasions of Cuba, Vietnam, and Iraq.

These political means of achieving power, should they exist, can be argued to parallel the way in which humans divide themselves into two to boost their power via pride, self love and self confidence.

Other auto-divided things along similar broad lines may be argued to include

Protection rackets "I'll protect you, from me"

Built in obsolescence "I'll repair/replace that which is broken, cause I broke it"

Disease creating (?) pschiatrists and psychiatric drug manufacturers

Drug pushers "I'll make you feel good again, having made you feel bad"

Municipevil (!) I am sometimes not all that keen on municipal things, perhaps including myself, when like all the other things in this list, they create the problems that they solve.

However, taking a somewhat contrarian, about-face, all these auto-divided things might also be described as the fountain of happiness. Xi and Duerte may by their machinations really be bringing peace and prosperity to their respective countries. Pax America may be both bringing dollars to American banks and peace to most of the world. Built in obsolescence may fund research and development. I won't defend drug pushers but psychiatric drugs clearly seem to have benefits for some Indeed at a more profound level, as suggested by the traditional Philippine symbol for property or fertility the inward curling "lingling-o"omega above left, and self hugging (and I would claim self seeing Bulul), joy that comes to "other power" Amitabha worshippers, the sinful split of Adam and Adam's other side Eve, prefigures the heeling (almost drug pusher?!, as Marx and Bowie would have it) relationship with Jesus. Do we even need to unveil what is going on? Perhaps this photo description is the worst of things. Namuamidabutsu.

The lingling O seems to be the origin of the Japanese magatama which is a lingling O split in two.

Il n’entend rien à nos usages, à nos lois, ou il n’y voit que des entraves déguisées sous cent formes diverses, entraves qui ne peuvent qu’exciter l’indignation et le mépris d’un être en qui le sentiment de la liberté est le plus profond des sentiments.

HISTORY OF STEPWELLS IN GUJARAT

Stepwells are wells in which the water is reached by steps. They are most commonly found in western India especially Gujarat where over 120 such wells are reported. The origin of the stepwell may be traced to reservoirs of the cities of the Indus Valley Civilization such as Dholavira and Mohenjo-daro. The stepwells were constructed in the south western region of Gujarat around 600 AD. From there they spread north to Rajasthan and subsequently to north and west India. Construction activities accelerated during the 10th to 13th century during the Chaulukya and Vaghela periods. The construction of these stepwells hit its peak during the 11th to 16th century. The Muslim rulers of the 13th to 16th century did not disrupt the culture that was practiced in these stepwells and encouraged the building of stepwells. The wells lost their significance in the 19th century due to introduction of water pumps and pipe-systems.

ANCIENT PERIOD

The stepped well may have originated to ensure water during drought periods. The water is considered sacred from the time of Vedas and the steps to reach the water level in artificially construed reservoirs can be found in the sites of Indus Valley Civilization such as Dholavira and Mohenjo-daro.

2ND-10TH CENTURY

The earliest example of a bath-like pond reached by steps is found at the Uperkot caves in Junagadh. These caves have been dated to the 4th century. Navghan Kuvo, a well with circular staircase, in the vicinity, is another example. It was possibly built in the Western Satrap (200-400 AD) or Maitraka (600-700 AD) period though some place it as late as the 11th century. The nearby Adi Kadi ni Vav is constructed either in the second half of the 10th century or 15th century.

The earliest stepwells are found at Dhank in Rajkot district of Gujarat; they are dated to the pre-Chalukyan period. The nearby Bochavdi stepwell near Bochavdi Nes in Alech hills is slightly earlier than two other stepwells in Dhank. These are the Jhilani stepwell dated to 600 AD and the Manjushri stepwell dated to the early 7th century based on their Saurastra style architecture.

10TH-12TH CENTURY

The stepwell as a form of artistic architecture started during the Chaulukya period. The stepwell situated west of kund of Modhera Sun Temple may belong to the 11th century whereas the mandapa above ground is from the 10th century. The Rani ki vav (the Queen's stepwell) of Patan was constructed around 1050 AD. Ankol Mata stepwell at Davad and Mata Bhavani's Stepwell in Ahmedabad belonged to the third quarter of the 11th century.

Several stepwells are ascribed to Minaldevi, the mother of Chaulukya ruler Jayasimha Siddharaja. The lake in Viramgam and a stepwell in Nadiad are ascribed to her. The Minal stepwell in Balej village in Sabarkantha district is ascribed to her and was built in 1095 AD (Samvat 1152). Another Minaldevi Vav in Virpur in Rajkot district is also ascribed to her and has stylistic affinities to Chaulukya architecture. Asapuri stepwell of Ahmedabad and the stepwell of Jhinjhuwada are of the 12th century. The Chaumukhi stepwell of Chobari in Surendranagar district depicts religious figures similar to nearby temples. the two stepwells in Kaleshwari-Ni Nal near Lunawada resemble Rani ki Vav in iconography so they may belong to the end of the 10th century. The stepwell in Dhandhalpur is ascribed to Jayasimha Siddharaja. During the reign of Kumarapala in the 12th century, several stepwells were constructed. The stepwell at Vayad near Patan was built during this time. Ganga stepwell at Wadhwan has been dated to 1169 AD (Samvat 1225).

During the later years of the Chaulukya period, construction slowed down due to political unrest. The Vikia and Jetha stepwells near Navlakha Temple, Ghumli near the Barda hills belonged to the 13th century. The Gyan stepwell near Visavada village in the Barda hills is ascribed to the time of Bhima II. The ruined stepwell of nearby Keshav village is of the same period.

12TH-13TH CENTURY

The Ra Khengar stepwell between Vanthali and Junagadh is stated to be constructed by Tejpal of the Vastupal-Tejpal, the brother-ministers in Vaghela court. It belongs to the early Vaghela period. Visaldev of Vaghela dynasty built the stepwell along with gates and temples at Dabhoi, completed in 1255. The Satmukhi stepwell in Dabhoi is a temple built over a tank with seven wells ascribed to him.

The Madhavav in Wadhwan was built in 1294 AD (Vikram Samvat 1350) by Nagar Brahmin Madha and Keshav, the ministers in court of the last Vaghela ruler Karan Ghelo. The Batris Kotha stepwell in Kapadvanj may have belonged to the 13th century due to its similarity with the Madha and Vikia stepwells.

14TH-15TH CENTURY

A large number of stepwells were constructed in the 14th century. Sodhali stepwell in Mangrol[disambiguation needed] was built in 1319 AD (V. S. 1375) by Vali Sodhala of Modha caste. The stepwell near the Brahma temple of Khedbrahma belonged to the 14th century judged by its style.

The Suda stepwell in Mahuva (1381 AD), Hani stepwell in Dhandhusar (1389/1333 AD) and Siddhnath Mahadev stepwell in Dholka were built during Tughlak rule in Gujarat. The stepwell of Sampa near Ahmedabad was built in 1328 AD. The Rajba stepwell of Rampura near Wadhwan and the Wadhwani stepwell in Khambhat were built in 1483 and 1482 respectively based on the earlier Madha stepwell of Wadhwan. The Dada Harir Stepwell was built in 1499 by the harem lady of Mahmud Begada.

During the Muslim period, the religious aspect of stepwells lost its significance. The stepwell of Sodali village near Mahemdavad and the stepwell in Mahemdavad itself, both of which belonged to the 15th century rule of Mahmud Begada, are its example. The two stepwells found in and around Vadodara are of the 15th century; one is near Sewasi village (V. S. 1537) and the other is the Navalakhi stepwell (1405 AD) of Laxmi Vilas Palace.

The Adalaj Stepwell was constructed by Rudabai in 1499 AD. A nearby stepwell in Chhatral also belongs to the same period.

16TH-18TH CENTURY

The Nagabawa stepwell in Dhrangdhra (1525 AD) and Jiva Mehta stepwell in Morbi are of the same style and period. The stepwell of Roho (1560 AD) was built by Champa, the wife of Raja Shri Nanaji and her daughter. There are also important stepwells in Palanpur and Jhinjhuwada.

Several stepwells are plain in design without any ornamentation which makes it difficult to ascertain their period, but they may belong to the 16th or 17th century. Such stepwells are in Hampur and Idar, as well as the Matri stepwell in Kankavati and Gyaneshwari stepwell in Modhera. The stepwell of Mandva in north Gujarat is similar to that of Mahemdavad so may belong to that period. The Sindhvai Mata stepwell in Patan has an inscription dating to 1633 AD. The Ravli stepwell of Mangrol is of the 17th century. The stepwell in Limboi near Idar has Chaulukya style ornamentation and hs been dated to 1629 AD.

The Amritavarshini Vav in Ahmedabad, completed in 1723, is L-shaped.

19TH-20TH CENTURY

The authorities during the British Raj found the hygiene of the stepwells less than desirable and installed pipe and pump systems to replace their purpose. Jethabhai's Stepwell in Isanpur, Ahmedabad was completed in the 1860s for irrigation. The stepwell of Wankaner palace was built by erstwhile rulers in the 1930s as a cool place of retreat for the royal family. It was built in white sandstone and is the last monument of its kind.

Due to waterpumps and pipe-systems, the stepwells lost their significance and due to economic cost, they were not constructed thereafter.

NARMADA PARIKRAMA

The Narmada also called the Rewa, is a river in central India and the fifth longest river in the Indian subcontinent. It is the third longest river that flows entirely within India, after the Godavari and the Krishna. It is also known as "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh" for its huge contribution to the state of Madhya Pradesh in many ways. It forms the traditional boundary between North India and South India and flows westwards over a length of 1,312 km (815.2 mi) before draining through theGulf of Khambhat into the Arabian Sea, 30 km (18.6 mi) west of Bharuch city of Gujarat. It is one of only three major rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west (longest west flowing river), along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is the one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. The other rivers which flows through rift valley include Damodar River in Chota Nagpur Plateau and Tapti. The Tapti River and Mahi River also flow through rift valleys, but between different ranges. It flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh(1,077 km (669.2 mi)), and Maharashtra, (74 km (46.0 mi))– (35 km (21.7 mi)) then along the border between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra (39 km (24.2 mi) and the border between Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and in Gujarat (161 km (100.0 mi)).

The Periplus Maris Erythraei (c. 80 AD) calls it the Nammadus, and theBritish Raj called it the Nerbudda or Narbada. Narmadā is a Sanskrit word meaning "the Giver of Pleasure".

To Hindus the Narmada is one of the five holy rivers of India; the other four beingGanges, Yamuna, Godavari and Kaveri. It is believed that a dip in any of these five rivers washes one's sins away. According to a legend, the river Ganges, polluted by millions of people bathing in it, assumes the form of a black cow and comes to the Narmada to bathe and cleanse itself in its holy waters. Legends also claim that the Narmada River is older than the river Ganges.

The river was mentioned by Ptolemy in the second century AD as Namade and by the author of the Periplus. The Ramayana, the Mahabharat, and thePuranas refer to it frequently. The Rewa Khand of Vayu Purana and the Rewa Khand of Skanda Purana are entirely devoted to the story of the birth and the importance of the river, and hence Narmada is also called the Rewa.

There are many fables about the origin of the Narmada. According to one of them, once Lord Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe, meditated so hard that he started perspiring. Shiva's sweat accumulated in a tank and started flowing in the form of a river – the Narmada. Another legend has it that two teardrops that fell from the eyes of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, yielded two rivers – the Narmada and the Son.

Legends also say that for Lord Shiva, the Hindu God, the river is especially sacred on account of its origin, and it is often called Shankari, i.e., daughter of Shankar (Lord Shiva). All the pebbles rolling on its bed are said to take the shape of his emblem with the saying, "Narmada Ke Kanker utte Sankar" (a popular saying in the Hindi belt of India), which means that 'pebble stones of Narmada get a personified form of Shiva'. These lingam shaped stones (cryptocrytalline quartz), calledBanalinga also called (Banashivalingas) are much sought after for daily worship by the Hindus. The Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, constructed by Rajaraja Chola, has one of the biggest Banalingas. Adi Shankara met his guru Govinda Bhagavatpada on the banks of the river Narmada.

Narmada is also said to have been in love with the Sonbhadra, another river flowing on the Chota Nagpur Plateau. According to the Puranas, the Narmada is also called the Rewa, from its leaping motion (from the root 'rev') through its rocky bed.

Important religious places and Ghats along the course of the river, starting from its origin at Narmadakhund at Amarkantakhill, are a) the Amarkantak (in Sanskrit: Neck of Shiva) or Teertharaj (the King of Pilgrimages), b) Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, and Mahadeo temples, Nemawar Siddeshwar Mandir in the middle reach of the river – all named after Shiva, c) Chausath Yogini (sixty four yoginis) temple, d) Chaubis Avatar temple, e) Bhojpur Shiva temple and Bhrigu Rishi temple in Bharuch. The Narmada River is also worshipped as mother goddess by Narmadeeya Brahmins.

The importance of the Narmada River as sacred is testified by the fact that the pilgrims perform a holy pilgrimage of aparikrama or circumambulation of the river.[17] The Narmada Parikrama, as it is called, is considered to be a meritorious act that a pilgrim can undertake. Many sadhus and pilgrims walk on foot from the Arabian Sea at Bharuch in Gujarat, along the river, to the source in Maikal Mountains (Amarkantak hills) in Madhya Pradesh and back along the opposite bank of the river. It is a 2,600-kilometre (1,600 mi) walk.[18] Important towns of interest in the valley are Jabalpur, Barwani, Hoshangabad, Harda, Narmada Nagar, Omkareshwar, Dewas (Nemavar, Kity, Pipri), Mandla and Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, andRajpipla and Bharuch in Gujarat. Some places of historical interest are Joga Ka Quilla, Chhatri of Baji Rao Peshwa andBhimbetka, and among the falls are the Dugdhdhara, Dhardi falls, Bheraghat, Dhuandhara, Kapiladhara and Sahastradhara.

Many sadhus and pilgrims walk on foot from the Arabian Sea at Bharuch in Gujarat, along the river, to the source in Maikal Mountains (Amarkantak hills) in Madhya Pradesh and back along the opposite bank of the river. It is a 2,600-kilometre (1,600 mi) walk.[18] Important towns of interest in the valley are Jabalpur, Barwani, Hoshangabad, Harda, Narmada Nagar, Omkareshwar, Dewas (Nemavar, Kity, Pipri), Mandla and Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, andRajpipla and Bharuch in Gujarat. Some places of historical interest are Joga Ka Quilla, Chhatri of Baji Rao Peshwa andBhimbetka, and among the falls are the Dugdhdhara, Dhardi falls, Bheraghat, Dhuandhara, Kapiladhara and Sahastradhara.

The origins of Sutton and Sons date back to 1998, when Danny Sutton opened a fishmongers (formerly ’The Fishery') on Stoke Newington high street. Things must have worked out rather well as, in 2010, Danny and his wife Hana decided to open a fish and chip restaurant just up the road. As you can probably imagine, this is no ordinary fish and chip shop and, although they're much beloved for their traditional takeaway, this place is more a (small) fish restaurant that puts some emphasis on takeaway fish and chips and traditional British food. After all, when was the last time you saw a chippie doing an offer on half a dozen oysters and a bottle of prosecco? Or an actual wine menu at a chippie? Yes indeed! I don't get a ‘traditional' fish and chips but the portion sizes appear immense - if what the blonde guy next to me is anything to go by.

Sutton & Son’s non piscine offerings include traditional english fare like steak and kidney pie, and the atmosphere is very much that of your local chip shop, though I guess with a few ‘contemporary’ touches. That said, there are the obvious nods to the traditional chippie such as tiled walls and a glass counter where you can admire freshly battered fish under those oddly coloured heat lamps that keep the food warm. Whilst Danny oversees the running of the business, Hana produces a range of desserts and pickles for the restaurant. There's a chalkboard which shows (presumably) what she has created on the day. Her cheesecake is wonderful - though I’ve not tried any of the others.

It's not just the desserts that change regularly. Asides from the regular a-la carte, there’s the 'Catch of the Day' - which, as far as I can tell, the stuff they got in earlier in the day from the fishmonger side of the business. What we get was representative of a good fish restaurant - unpretentious and good quality seafood, prepared simply. I luck out with the lobster sub, which is both orgasmic and legendary (which is, I suppose, what you want from a lobster sub). Another thing worth mentioning is that they have an amazing recipe for chips. As you probably know, a lot of the time, when a fishmonger fries you a wedge of potato, the result can be quite…limp and oily. Not so here - the chips are just delicious - crispy and lightly salted. And, lest we forget: deep fried Mars Bars are also a thing, and also on the menu.

If you’re interested in putting these guys to the test for yourself, there’s now two more Sutton & Sons restaurants - one in Islington, and one in Shoreditch’s Boxpark (which I assume is more temporary). I’ll sum this up with the thoughts of ‘Chris b’, a TripAdvisor commentator: “...there has been such a decline in fish and chip shops, and many today are kebab and chicken places with perhaps an old bit of fried fish lying about. But not so here.”.

Like most of us, Transportation Systems Analysis Engineer Chi Mai admits that when she was in high school, she didn’t know what she wanted to do for a career. So when she saw an ad for a high school engineering internship at ODOT, she applied – and had such an amazing experience, she decided to become an engineer! After college, she came back to ODOT… and three decades later, she’s still here.
