About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.
Reliability, suspension travel and control, balance and a strong engine with hemispherical combustion chambers and cross flow head all contributed to fast times on rough and winding tracks! My navigator was the late John Large who went on to become Australian Champion Navigator and later, President of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport. Crewman was Colin Redmond who not only put up with my driving, but waited in vain for something on the 404 to break! We finished the 2000 miles with a loss of six points; the winners were Jeff Dunkerton and his navigator the late Rod van der Stratton with 5 points lost.

Skegness
Skegness is a seaside town on the Lincolnshire coast of the North Sea. The town is 43 miles (69 km) east of Lincoln and 22 miles (35 km) north-east of Boston.
The original Skegness was situated farther east at the mouth of The Wash. Its Norse name refers to a headland which sat near the settlement. By the 14th. century, it was a locally important port for coastal trade. The natural sea defences which protected the harbour eroded in the later Middle Ages, and it was lost to the sea after a storm in the 1520's.
Rebuilt along the new shoreline, early modern Skegness was a small fishing and farming village, but from the late 18th. century members of the local gentry visited for holidays. The arrival of the railways in 1873 transformed it into a popular seaside resort.
This was the intention of the 9th. Earl of Scarborough, who owned most of the land in the vicinity; he built the infrastructure of the town and laid out plots, which he leased to speculative developers.
This new Skegness quickly became a popular destination for holiday-makers and day trippers from the East Midlands factory towns. By the interwar years the town was established as one of the most popular seaside resorts in Britain. The layout of the modern seafront dates to this time, and holiday camps were built around the town, including the first Butlin's holiday resort which opened in Ingoldmells in 1936.
The package holiday abroad became an increasingly popular and affordable option for many British holiday-makers during the 1970's. This trend, combined with declining industrial employment in the East Midlands, served to harm Skegness's visitor economy in the late 20th. century.
Nevertheless, the resort retains a loyal visitor base, and has increasingly attracted people visiting for a short holiday alongside their trip abroad. Tourism increased following the recession of 2007–09 owing to the resort's affordability. In 2011, the town was England's fourth most popular holiday destination for UK residents, and in 2015 it received over 1.4 million visitors.
Skegness has a reputation as a traditional English seaside resort owing to its long, sandy beach and seafront attractions which include amusement arcades, eateries, Botton's fairground, the pier, nightclubs and bars.
Other visitor attractions include Natureland Seal Sanctuary, a museum, an aquarium, a heritage railway, an annual carnival, a yearly arts festival, and Gibraltar Point nature reserve to the south of the town.
Despite the arrival of several manufacturing firms since the 1950's and Skegness's prominence as a local commercial centre, the tourism industry remains very important for the town's economy and employment. But tourism's low wages and seasonal nature, along with the town's aging population, have contributed towards high levels of relative deprivation among the resident population.
The town is home to a police station, a magistrates' court and a lifeboat station.

CÚCUTA, Colombia — Cristal Montañéz carried a box of her signature teddy bears from Houston as she led a small convoy down a Colombian highway to explore the humanitarian crisis spilling out from her homeland, Venezuela.
She spotted a crowd of young adults and children on the roadside, and she ordered the three cars in her group to pull over. A contingent of international aid workers stepped out to inspect.
Montañéz had been there before and knew the scene well. The people gathered were some of the thousands who every day flee Venezuela’s collapse into hunger and chaos, setting out to cross more than 1,000 mountainous miles on foot with nothing but their bags of clothes.
Children lit up and giggled as Montañéz handed them stuffed animals.
“The bears are just magic,” she said in Spanish, forcing a weak smile, though her eyes still bore the grief that weighed on her. “They can bring out happiness even at times of such tragedy.”
The convoy continued on. They were there to evaluate a project launched by a Houston Rotary club, designed to feed thousands of people in this crisis zone. Montañéz, a former Venezuelan supermodel and lifelong philanthropist who moved to Houston in the 1980s, led the delegation to demonstrate that the crisis was real, and that the project was working and ready to grow.
Two women of Houston’s large Venezuelan community led a local Rotary Club to partner with North Carolina-based Rise Against Hunger to deliver about $56,000 worth of food — a 20-ton shipping container full of nutrient-enhanced rice plus locally bought groceries — to this Colombian border region, which for years has borne the brunt of a massive migration.
“We do see a need to scale up our involvement,” said Silvia Roscot, a technical adviser for Rise Against Hunger who traveled with Montañéz to tour the project. “This is a population that’s on the move.”
It’s been years of spiraling decline for Venezuela, once the wealthiest South American nation. Conditions of hunger and health have worsened dramatically in the last year and plummeted toward catastrophe in early March, when most of the country’s power grid went indefinitely down, leaving millions without running water or communication with the outside world.
The region surrounding Cúcuta, Colombia, on the Venezuelan border, receives about 5,000 migrants every day, about twice the daily average of migrants apprehended at the entire U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.
Some here have money to travel by bus, but many go on foot, bound for far away countries like Ecuador or Peru. All have left behind loved ones in search of whatever livelihoods they can find to support their families.
“It makes me so angry what I have seen,” Montañéz said, wiping tears away in the restaurant of an upscale Cúcuta hotel, decrying the self-proclaimed revolutionary government that has presided over Venezuela’s collapse. “They’ve destroyed the people, the families, the values, the hopes and dreams of an entire country.”
‘This one is perfect’
The idea for this project came from Isis Mejias, a Venezuelan who moved to the Bayou City in 2001 and earned a chemical engineering degree from the University of Houston.
Early last year, she chaired the Rotary Club’s international services committee, and she yearned to find a way to help her crisis-stricken homeland.
“There’s a huge Venezuelan community in Houston, and I can tell you that every single person is doing something to send aid,” she said recently by phone from Kalisizo, Uganda, where she was checking on another Rotary Club project.
She already knew about Montañéz, the 1977 Miss Venezuela whose personal charity project, Bear Hugs, had given teddy bears and more in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Allison. Mejias pulled the strings to bring together Rotary, Montañéz and Rise Against Hunger, and their project began to take shape.
They partnered with the Cúcuta Rotary Club, and Montañéz came in August to find a network of kitchens that could put their donations to use. Mejias came in January when their shipping container of rice with nutrients and dried vegetables arrived in Colombia by boat and began to be served.
“This is our first such international partnership,” said Diana Gamboa, president of the Cúcuta Rotary Club. “It’s allows us to at least do something small to help our region, which is totally drowning in this crisis.”
Now, Montañéz took three observers from Rise Against Hunger around the kitchens and shelters where their food was being served, demonstrating that resources were put to good use in acceptable conditions.
“This is your rice,” said Father Francesco Bortignon, an Italian-born priest who helps the poor in this border region, lifting the lid off a massive pot in one of the charity kitchens he supervises. “The previous supplies we got here had a weird taste, but this one is perfect.”
Several hundred people filed into the kitchen at lunchtime. Many brought young children. Many said they’d walked two hours for their only meal of the day.
“The first months here were hard, but now with all the help that is arriving, at least we can get food,” said Diana Alfonso, a 30-year-old Venezuelan who used to pick plastic recycling from trash piles for food money but now shares plates of rice, beans, salad and potatoes with her four children at the kitchen.
‘So much’ to be done
Later, Montañéz led the group out of town and up the highway into Colombia to visit shelters that fed the hundreds of people who every day set out on their cross-continental hikes.
The convoy stopped at a group of 12 young men loaded with luggage, who eagerly took the water and snacks then pointed out that one of them hobbled with a cane and hurt to walk up the mountains. So Montañéz offered him, 33-year-old Junior Rios Olivero, a seat in a car in her convoy.
The car would take him 20 minutes up the road, a four-hour walk, to the next town, where he would wait for his group at a shelter.
Beyond him lay about a thousand miles until Ecuador. There, he said, he planned to get a job — he guessed as an informal salesman or a laborer —and save money until December so he could buy a bus ticket home to spend next Christmas with his wife, two children and parents. Then with the money he hoped to save by then, he would buy them all bus transport back to Ecuador, where he planned to have a stable place to live.
He wasn’t scared of such a long path that crossed the cold Andean highlands then a large swath of the continent, he said. The journey was easier with his group — a dozen friends from his neighborhood in Valencia. Furthermore, he didn’t feel like he had a choice.
“There’s a saying that goes, ‘If you don’t risk, you don’t win,’” he said in the back seat of the former Rotary president’s car. “If we don’t risk, our families will die of hunger in Venezuela.”
Almost three years ago, he lost his job loading trucks at a state plastic factory after it shut down for lack of raw materials, Olivero said. He found several odd jobs since then but couldn’t keep up with hyperinflation that drove prices higher as the economy crumbled more each day.
Now a month’s minimum salary could buy one kilo of cheese, so his family and what few neighbors remained ate yuca root and potato, rarely three times a day. He hadn’t eaten meat in years, until Colombians fed him donated chicken rice and lentils the day before.
The car dropped him at a shelter where a few dozen other Venezuelans sat outside. The family owners of two adjacent houses had opened their doors to the flow of migrants walking into the mountain town of 57,000 people. So a new crowd of several hundred sleeps there each night — women and children on the floors of the houses and men on the ground outside.
Montañéz stepped out of her car and stood with her fists on her hips, looking at the hundreds of people who’d left the country that had been so prosperous in her days there. She sighed.
“There is so much work to be done,” she said.

Traceries of the east window designed by Sir Ninian Comper, c1950, also known as 'the Bride's Window' after newly weds at the church following the War were asked to contribute funds towards it's installation.
Holy Trinity would have been the star attraction in any other town or city, it is a majestic cruciform 15th century Perpendicular church with a tapering central tower and spire, the second of Coventry's famous 'Three Spires'. However it has always been overshadowed by larger neighbours, having been encircled by no less than three separate cathedrals through it's history, a unique distinction! Holy Trinity was founded by the monks of the adjoining priory to act as a parish church for it's lay tenants, thus it is ironic that it has long outlived the parent building.
The earliest part is the north porch, which dates from the 13th century, but the majority of the building dates from a more ambitious phase in 15th century Perpendicular style. The 15th century rebuilding has given us the present cruciform arrangement with small transepts and extra chapels on the north side giving an overall roughly rectangular footprint. These chapels were some of many in the church that served the city's separate guilds in medieval times.
The church has gone through much restoration, most notably the rebuilding of it's spire after it was blown down in a storm in 1665. The east end of the chancel was extended in 1786 (in sympathetic style) and much of the exterior was refaced in the early 19th century in then fashionable Bath stone (which clashes with the original red sandstone).
The church luckily escaped major damage during the Coventry Blitz in 1940, largely thanks to the vigilance of Canon Clitheroe and his team of firewatchers who spent a perilous night on the roof tackling incendaries. The main loss was the Victorian stained glass in the east and west windows, which were replaced with much more fetching glass in the postwar restoration.
The most recent restoration involved the uncovering of the 15th century Doom painting over the chancel arch in 2004. Hidden under blackened varnish since it's rediscovery in the early Victorian period, it has now been revealed to be one of the most complete and important medieval Last Judgement murals in the country. There is further painting contemporary with this on the exquisite nave ceiling, painted a beautiful dusty blue with large kneeling angels flanking coats of arms on every rafter.
There are only a handful of monuments and most of the furnishings date from G.G.Scott's 1850s restoration (as does the magnificent vaulted ceiling high above the crossing) but there are some notable medieval survivals in the rare stone pulpit and the brass eagle lectern, both 15th century, along with a fine set of misericords originating from the former Whitefriars monastery church. Just a few fragments of medieval glass survive in the north west chapel.
The church is happily normally open and welcoming to visitors every day.

On May 9, 2022, The Delegation of the European Union to the United States marked Europe Day by awarding the first Transatlantic Bridge Award to three exceptional Americans for their contributions in fostering transatlantic relations and in supporting and embodying the values and ideals shared by the European Union and the United States.
The three awardees - José Andrés, Chef, Humanitarian and Founder of World Central Kitchen; Stephen Breyer, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States; and Deborah Rutter, President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts - were honored at a Europe Day celebration held by the European Union Ambassador and the 27 EU Member State Ambassadors at the EU Residence in Washington, D.C.
“The unified allied response to Putin’s aggression in Ukraine has once again highlighted the enduring importance of the shared values of the transatlantic partnership,” said European Union Ambassador to the United States Stavros Lambrinidis. “Strong EU-U.S. relations are vital in addressing common global challenges. That’s why I am particularly happy to recognize with the first Transatlantic Bridge Award three exceptional Americans who have made invaluable contributions to the EU-U.S. relationship and to universal human rights and values.”
As a world-renowned chef, humanitarian and founder of World Central Kitchen, José Andrés personifies and serves as a shining example of the European Union’s core values. Feeding those most in need and creating culinary training programs to empower communities and strengthen economies, he and his team go above and beyond the call of duty in global disasters and emergencies. Today, they are on the frontlines of the war in Ukraine, delivering care and kindness in meals in the country and to those fleeing the war. As a European and as an American, he bridges the Atlantic through food, highlighting its importance nutritionally, socially, and culturally, and connecting it back to urgent global issues like climate change.
On the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Breyer has been an ardent defender of judicial independence and the rule of law in democratic societies, embodying and fortifying cardinal European values as well. He has promoted a robust exchange of ideas between the Supreme Court and the European Court of Justice and has consistently and effectively encouraged transatlantic legal dialogue on key issues. In addition to his rule-of-law leadership domestically and internationally, he has argued forcefully against the constitutionality of the death penalty in the United States, consistent with the EU’s position of opposing capital punishment in its member countries and around the world.
Under Deborah Rutter’s leadership, the Kennedy Center has been an unwavering supporter of European artists, strengthening the EU’s “Kids Euro Fest” partnership in the United States, first established in 2008, hosting each year numerous EU Member State productions on the Millennium Stage, and showcasing many European ballet and contemporary dance companies in one of America’s pre-eminent cultural venues. She has attached high priority to welcoming DC school groups for EU-related workshops and, through The Reach, making cultural experiences accessible to all, regardless of economic status. With her support for fundamental values and for celebrating unity in cultural diversity - ideals that are also the bedrock of the EU itself and of the transatlantic relationship - she greatly contributes in enriching humanity long into the future.
Europe Day celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the signing of the Schuman Declaration on May 9, 1950, which set out the idea for a new form of political and economic cooperation in Europe, and is considered the beginning of what is now the European Union.
The 2030 Agenda calls on all countries to use trade to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient world. We must ensure that the global trading system actively contributes to sustainability. Trade policies offer an opportunity to promote a broad shift in production and consumption that helps consumers to make better choices.
The European Union-Mercosur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) free trade agreement, recently announced after 20 years of negotiations, has not yet been ratified. If ratified, it would represent the largest trade deal struck by both the EU and Mercosur bringing together 779 million of people, 24 trillion dollars of GDP and covering 18 million of square kilometers. Representing a quarter of the global GDP and could also presage a redistribution of agricultural market shares in the EU, the world’s second largest agricultural import market, for US-based exporters.
The agreement may serve as a model for future deals, making it critical to get this one right. This discussion will consider fundamental questions about “greening” of the EU-Mercosur agreement:
How will the agreement impact trade in goods?
How will it protect standards, including environmental standards?
Can it promote sustainable farming in both regions?
How will it contribute to the fight against climate change?
Will commitments on environmental protection be enforceable?

The whole picture - up close and personal
I worked early into this morning on this piece, and actually hesitated sending it because i have been quite unsure about showing my art ("Are you serious?!" those who know me and my work may ask) perhaps it's because I'm going through some changes, both personal and creative. Looking back on these shots/series, i am reminded about the power of images, of photography, and how when used as a vehicle for transmitting important information, can be a powerful tool for change and transformation.
I still feel like the woman on the left sometimes. I look back on this whole set of images I posted back in 2005, and realize that she is and always be a part of me. Because when the medications are not adjusted properly, when i think about the battle my mother is waging against cancer, the loss of my grandmother a few months ago, her sad blue eyes and the helplessness and desperation in them touches me, and makes me realize that perhaps I'm on this difficult leg of my creative journey to push through uncertainty, face up to adversity, and trust that i will emerge a stronger and a more well defined person.
So if anybody will be in the gallery area, please let me know - take a photo of my postcard, send me one if you can; because if I can't be there in body, i will be there in spirit.

"Malcolm Cowley, the only child of a homeopathic physician, was born in Belasco, Pennsylvania, on 24th August, 1898. A successful school student, Cowley won a scholarship to Harvard in 1915. While at university Cowley contributed to the Harvard Advocate and attended lectures by Amy Lowell.
In 1917 Cowley left Harvard to drive munitions trucks for the American Field Service in France. While on the Western Front Cowley wrote articles about the First World War for The Pittsburgh Gazette.
Cowley returned to the United States in 1918 and the following year married the artist, Peggy Baird. He continued with his studies and graduated from Harvard in 1920. For the next few years he wrote poetry and book reviews for The Dial and the New York Evening Post.
In 1921 Cowley moved to France and continued his studies at the University of Montpellier. He also found work with avant-garde literary magazines such as Broom and Secession. While in France he became friendly with American expatriates such as Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway and Ezra Pound.
Cowley returned to the United States in August 1923 and went to live in Greenwich Village where he became close friends with the poet Hart Crane. As well as writing poetry Cowley found work as an advertising copywriter with Sweet's Architectural Catalogue. He also translated seven books from French into English.
In 1929 Cowley published Blue Juniata, his first book of poems. Later that year he replaced Edmund Wilson as literary editor of the New Republic.
Cowley's marriage broke up in 1931 and Peggy went to live with Hart Crane. This ended in tragedy when Crane committed suicide by jumping from the ship Orizaba on 27th April 1932. Two months later Cowley married Muriel Maurer.
Coming under the influence of Theodore Dreiser, Cowley became increasingly involved in radical politics. In 1932 Cowley joined Mary Heaton Vorse, Edmund Wilson and Waldo Frank as union-sponsored observers of the miners' strikes in Kentucky. The men's lives were threatened by the mine owners and Frank was badly beaten up. The following year Cowley published Exile's Return in 1933. The book was largely ignored and sold only 800 copies in the first twelve months.
In 1935 Cowley and other left-wing writers established the League of American Writers. Other members included Erskine Caldwell, Archibald MacLeish, Upton Sinclair, Clifford Odets, Langston Hughes, Carl Sandburg, Carl Van Doren, David Ogden Stewart, John Dos Passos, Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett.
Cowley was appointed vice president of the League of American Writers and over the next few years Cowley was involved in several campaigns, including attempts to persuade the United States government to support the republicans in the Spanish Civil War. However, he resigned in 1940 because he felt the organization was under the control of the American Communist Party.
In 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Archibald MacLeish as head of the Office of Facts and Figures. MacLeish recruited Cowley as his deputy. This decision soon resulted in right-wing journalists such as Whittaker Chambers and Westbrook Pegler writing articles pointing out Cowley's left-wing past. One member of Congress, Martin Dies of Texas, accused Cowley of having connections to 72 communist or communist-front organizations.
MacLeish came under pressure from J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, to sack Cowley. In January 1942, MacLeish replied that the FBI agents needed a course of instruction in history. "Don't you think it would be a good thing if all investigators could be made to understand that Liberalism is not only not a crime but actually the attitude of the President of the United States and the greater part of his Administration?" In March 1942 Cowley, vowing never again to write about politics, resigned from the Office of Facts and Figures.
Cowley now became literary adviser to Viking Press. He now began to edit the selected works of important American writers. Viking Portable editions by Cowley included Ernest Hemingway (1944), William Faulkner (1946) andNathaniel Hawthorne (1948).
In 1949 Cowley returned to the political scene by testifying at the second Alger Hiss trial. His testimony contradicted the main evidence supplied by Whittaker Chambers.
Cowley published a revised edition of Exile's Return in 1951. This time the book sold much better. He also published The Literary Tradition (1954) and edited a new edition of Leaves of Grass (1959) by Walt Whitman. This was followed by Black Cargoes, A History of the Atlantic Slave Trade (1962), Fitzgerald and the Jazz Age (1966), Think Back on Us (1967), Collected Poems (1968), Lesson of the Masters (1971), A Second Flowering (1973), The Dream of the Golden Mountains (1980). Malcolm Cowley died on 28th March 1989."

"Margarite Frances Baird was also known as Peggy Baird, Peggy Johns and Peggy Cowley. She was a landscape painter, but was most significant for her participation in the literary and artistic life of her day. She was married to Orrick Johns about 1915, traveled with him to Europe. During this period, she had a "fling" with Eugene O'Neill.
Peggy Baird Johns was a friend and correspondent of Katherine Anne Porter and Dorothy Day. Baird was part of the women's suffrage movement. In 1917, she invited Dorothy Day to join the National Woman's Party. They were jailed for their protests. She remained friends with Day and visited her at various times throughout the years. She later married Malcolm Cowley and was divorced from him in 1931.
Once estranged from Malcolm Cowley -- though not yet divorced -- she moved to Mexico, where her long friendship with poet Hart Crane turned into Crane's first and last (documented) heterosexual affair. This affair has since become a major point of interest for Crane scholars -- particularly for those reading him with an eye toward his sexuality -- as his engagement with heterosexual life is a determining theme in his last major poem, "The Broken Tower". Appearing at moments to be a highly symbolic affirmation of their relationship, as well as a denial of his homosexual past (the 'broken tower' can be read as a defeated phallus), the poem was written just months before his suicide by water.
Baird was with him on the boat returning them to New York, and she figures briefly, but poignantly, in the events leading up to his death. Almost thirty years later, she wrote about this period in an article for Venture, "The Last Days of Hart Crane.""

Seminar audience hears low levels of physical activity in Ireland are contributing to serious long term health problems
Delegates attending a public health seminar today learned that low levels of physical activity are contributing to long term health problems. The comments were made by Professor James Sallis, Director of Active Living Research and Professor at San Diego State University and Ms Teresa Lavin, Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH), at a seminar jointly hosted by IPH and the UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (Northern Ireland).
The seminar looked at why levels of physical activity are low in Ireland. It focused on how the built environment influences opportunities for being active.
Ms Lavin said: “Enhancing opportunities for physical activity is essential. Across Ireland levels of physical activity are low which has many implications for public health. While there are many reasons for low levels of physical activity one important factor is how the built environment is designed and maintained – this in turn facilitates how we move around our environment.
“We need to create more roads and pathways suited to cycling and walking as well as quality green spaces to encourage people to take physical exercise. We need to locate shops and services – such as schools – nearer to housing schemes and ensure road systems within these estates are engineered to reduce car dependency.”
Ms Lavin continued: “A recent IPH study forecasts a dramatic 40% increase in the number of people living with hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes in the Republic of Ireland by 2020. It is essential we reverse this trend and one way is by creating environments which are conducive to physical activity such as walking and cycling.
“To enable this to happen, there is a real need for intersectoral action – involving public health specialists, local authorities, developers and construction professionals such as architects, engineers and planners – to enhance opportunities for physical activity in the built environment across the population and especially for vulnerable groups.
“For example, in Ireland, half as many girls aged 15-17 as boys of the same age are likely to exercise four or more times weekly. Unfortunately, this trend continues through to adulthood and we need to develop specific strategies to tackle this issue.”
Professor Sallis has pioneered an extensive research programme into the environmental and policy influences on physical activity, nutrition and obesity in the United States and said: “Physical activity is a key risk factor for chronic disease; other high risk factors include poverty, unemployment, the environment, smoking, alcohol consumption and diet. The reality is that these factors are distributed unevenly across society. Ensuring that all neighbourhoods have safe and attractive places for physical activity and have shops that sell affordable healthy foods is one way to reduce these inequalities.”
Dr Mark Tully, UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (NI) who is leading a large research project on the benefits of green space to health and wellbeing said: “The visit of Prof Sallis to Ireland is very timely. We have been inspired by his research to continue our efforts to develop research into how we can help increase levels of physical activity through designing more attractive environments that support the messages our health professionals are promoting.”

Jeffrey Mayer asked me to contribute to Marie Antoinette; Styling the 18th Century Superstar, I happily contributed art direction and 10 original artworks to his book
"Written to accompany the High Fashion museum exhibition 'Marie Antoinette; Styling the 18th Century Superstar', created by stylist and fashion designer Jeffrey C. Mayer for the I.M. Pei designed Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York. This book discusses the style impact that Marie Antoinette had on fashion in the 18th century, and how those style aesthetics can be applied to 20th and 21st-century fashion. The book is filled with photos by photographer Stephen Sartori, and styled by Jeffrey Mayer, using mannequins by Adele Rootstein and Patina V to depict vignettes inspired by the anything but average life of this young queen of France showcasing American and European couture from the 1950's to the present, including work by Valentino, Chanel, Balenciaga, Norell and Scaasi. The layout was designed by graphic artist Todd Conover who takes the reader on an elegant journey through this eclectic look at the aesthetics of 18th century fashion.Also included is an overview of the fashion sense of the other Austrian 18th century Superstar, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as seen through the Mozart family letters and discussed by music and fashion historian Carolyn Mayer."
The Transat has a new title sponsor in the French pastry company, bakerly.
The Transat, the oldest professional solo sailing race, which sets sail from Plymouth to New York on May 2nd, has a new title sponsor in bakerly, a new brand of French inspired bakery goods.
The race now officially becomes “The Transat bakerly” – in a partnership that perfectly fits the French company’s spirit of adventure.
Founded in 2015, bakerly, is a new consumer brand but it shares with The Transat – which enjoys a 56-year history steeped in adventure and sailing folklore – a common path: both The Transat and bakerly are crossing the Atlantic.
‘bakerly’ is a US subsidiary of the French industrial food group Norac. With bakerly, American consumers can now experience crêpes, brioches, and croissants made without additives or preservatives.
For the Norac group, the sponsorship of the race is something of a homecoming. Crêpes Whaou! is one of the most iconic brands owned by the group and sailing fans will remember the many victories of French skipper Franck-Yves Escoffier and his trimaran. Escoffier even took part in the 2004 edition of this solo transatlantic epic.
With a warm-up from St Malo to the race start at Plymouth and then finishing New York 3,000 miles later, The Transat bakerly follows the strategic path of the bakerly brand – created in France, established in Britain and today setting foot in America.
During each of The Transat bakerly’s stopovers – at St-Malo, Plymouth and New York – the public will have the chance to discover, or rediscover, the different products the Norac group has to offer.
The Transat bakerly is a key race in the world of offshore racing and sport in general, since 1960, the race has contributed a great deal to sailing and its history has a universal appeal. We are very proud to associate our brand with an event of this magnitude.
“For us this sponsorship marks a return to racing and a sport that has much potential, as we discovered with Crêpes Whaou! Now with The Transat bakerly, we marry passion and reason because this is how the best stories start.”
Hervé Favre, The Transat bakerly Events Director said: “Since the first edition, The Transat has been associated with fine partners. Today we are proud to join together with bakerly and look towards a promising future with Norac, a French food group out to conquer the US market.
“This partnership is great news, and it will help give greater scope to the event,” Favre added.

Today we are proud to join together with bakerly and look towards a promising future with Norac, a French food group out to conquer the US market. This partnership is great news, and it will help give greater scope to the event.
The 2016 edition of The Transat bakerly will see 25 solo skippers in four classes – Ultimes, IMOCA 60s, Multi50s and Class40s – take on one of the great challenges in professional sailing. They face a 3,000-mile course complete with storm force headwinds, rough seas and freezing fog.
When Sir Francis Chichester won the first edition of the race in 1960, it took him 40 days to reach New York. This year the fastest boats could be there in as little as seven days.
The Norac Group:
- 4200 employees
- CEO Bruno Caron
- HQ in Rennes, France
- Owner of 12 brands, including 5 outside of France
- Companies in France: Ateliê do Sabor, Cie des Pains, Daunat, Dessaint Food Services, La Boulangère and Sud’n’Sol
- Companies outside France: Germany – Ibis; Brazil – Norac do Brazil; Spain – Espanorac; UK – Norac Foods UK; USA – Norac USA
- 21 production sites; two outside of France
- Brands: Armor Délices, Ateliê do Sabor, bakerly, Crêpes Whaou!, Daunat, Dessaint Food Services, Ensoleil’ade, Ibis, La Boulangère, Le Ster Le Pâtisser, Sud’n’Sol.
The Transat bakerly:
- The oldest professional solo sailing race, first staged in 1960 and held every four years
- Race winners have included many of the world’s greatest solo sailors, among them Sir Francis Chichester, Eric Tabarly, Ellen MacArthur and Loick Peyron
- The 2016 edition of The Transat bakerly features 25 entries from four nations
- Solo skippers will race in four classes of yachts
- The racetrack is 3,000 nautical miles of the North Atlantic Ocean
- The race starts from Plymouth in the UK and finishes in New York (for the first time since the inaugural race in 1960)
- Involves some of the toughest racing in solo sailing with storms, big seas and freezing fog to contend with
- Features for the first time a non-timed warm-up from St-Malo in Brittany to Plymouth
- At the finish the yachts will berth in the brand new Oneº15 Brooklyn Marina overlooking Manhatten
