French dancer and actress Gaby Deslys (1881-1920) (aka Gaby Delys) was an internationally celebrated - and notorious - star of the early 20th Century. She was famous for her extravagant clothes, jewels, and millinery. She had many admirers, most notably King Manuel II of Portugal, and during World War I, she reportedly worked as a spy for the French government. Before her tragic early death, she also made a series of silent films.
Gaby Deslys was born in 1881 in the French harbour city Marseille as Marie-Elise Gabrielle Caire, but during the latter part of her life and after her death, this identification was put under scrutiny. She selected Gaby Deslys for her stage career - an abbreviation of Gabrielle of the Lillies. She started her career in 1898 in the Folies Bergères in Paris. Gaby was dedicated to dancing and loved to please the audience. In 1906 she traveled to London and appeared at the Gaiety Theatre in The New Aladdin and performed the Ju-Jitsu waltz. She became the nickname The Charm of Paris. Deslys became an international celebrity following newspaper stories about King Manuel's infatuation with her. He is thought to have given Deslys a pearl necklace worth $70,000 after first meeting her in Paris in 1909. More gifts soon followed. In 1911, she appeared at the Winter Garden in Vera Violetta, which also featured Al Jolson and a young Mae West. Gaby’s costume gowns attained almost as much attention as herself. She is also credited for introducing the first Striptease number in a Broadway Musical. In 1912 she returned to Paris with American dancer Henry (Harry) Pilcer, who she was rumored to have been married to. Pilcer created her most famous dance, The Gaby Glide, which she performed in Europe and in the United States. They became the most popular dance couple of the music-halls of Paris. Gaby Deslys introduced with her ostrich feathers and costumes a new style. She introduced the first Jazzband (Alexander's Ragtime Band) to Paris.
In London Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie was so smitten by her that he wrote a one-act play for her, Rosy Rapture, at the Duke of York's theatre. This became also one of her first films, A Rosy Rapture (Percy Nash, 1914). Other short films followed like the French La Remplaçante (René Hervil, Louis Mercanton, 1914). In 1915 Gaby Deslys and Harry Pilcer filmed for Famous Players Lasky in Paris Her Triumph (1915). A feature film with the couple was Bouclette (René Hervil, Louis Mercanton, 1918), written by the famous film director of the French avant-garde, Marcel L’Herbier, who was co-starred. In Dieu du hasard (Henri Pouctal, 1919) Gaby appeared with Félix Oudart, Georges Tréville, and Harry Pilcer. She graced the cover of Pictures and the Picturegoer magazine in 1915, and Erté did a serigraph painting of her. On a number of occasions, she appeared at the Grand Casino in Marseilles. Her final performance there was in 1919. Deslys contracted a severe throat infection caused by influenza. She was operated on multiple times in an effort to eradicate the infection, on two occasions without the use of an anesthetic, but she died in Paris in February 1920. In her will, she left her villa and all of her property, valued at half a million dollars, to the poor of Marseilles. Her carved and gilded bed, in the form of an enormous swan, was bought at auction by the Universal Studios prop department and was used in The Phantom of the Opera (1925) and in Sunset Boulevard (1950) as the bed of Norma Desmond. Gaby Deslys was portrayed by Tamara Toumanova in Deep in My Heart (Stanley Donen, 1954).

With the growth of Paris many of the cemetries, particularly the city's largest; les Innocents, were filled to overflowing. When inner-city burials were banned from 1786, the contents of all Paris' parish cemeteries were transferred to a renovated section of the stone mines outside the 'Porte d'Enfer' city gate…today this is 'Place Denfert-Rochereau' south of the centre of Paris. The process of moving bones from 'Cimetière des Innocents' to the Catacombs took place between 1786 and 1814.
Idole cycladique de la collection Paul et Alexandra Canellopoulos
Musée de Canellopoulos, Athènes
Le Musée de Kanellopoulos, inauguré en 1976, retrace l'évolution de l'art grec à travers une collection variée de pièces d'art archéologique appartenant à différentes périodes.

La collection, rassemblée par Paul et Alexandra Kanellopoulos, constitue l'une des collections d'antiquités privées les plus importantes de Grèce.
C'est dans les Cyclades que l'art primitif issu du néolithique a connu l'évolution la plus caractéristique. Ces objets caractéristiques de la civilisation précoce des Cyclades datent des années 3200 à 2O00 avant J.C.

Les figurines miniatures en marbre aux épaules larges et aux hanches étroites représentent en général des femmes nues que les archéologues supposent être des symboles de Fertilité ou des amulettes funéraires.

Early Cycladic period (3200 – 2000 BC)
This period was mainly characterized by the development of metallurgy, maritime navigation and communication. A multitude and wide range of bronze tools and weapons, swift-moving ships impelled by oars depicted on clay (frying pans) or metal (lead boat models) attest to the heyday of this early period of the Cyclades which played a pivotal role in the trade of materials and goods as well as the exchange of ideas, being in the centre of maritime communication routes. Metals, obsidian and marble, unique raw materials found on the Cyclades, were spread throughout the Aegean Sea. The marble vases and figurines, the kraters -known as “”kandiles”” (votive lamps)- and the violin-shaped figurines became initially synonymous with the Cycladic culture. Later, the kylikes and the “”palettes””, but chiefly the figurines with folded arms, with their widespread dispersal, turned into the symbol of the Cycladic achievement, whereas simultaneously, the creation of statues, namely life-size figures, and certain three-dimensional figurines (e.g. musicians) manifests the progress and innovation of the Cycladic art.

An important contribution to the understanding of the uses of Diethylstilbestrol DES by pregnant women and the risks associated with this use. It is the only book on this subject that provides a scientifically objective overview and should be read by all who are involved in the debate over the effects of in utero DES exposure, including those men and women who were unfortunately exposed to the drug.'

Cette année nous n'aurons pas la chance de voir beaucoup de jeunes de la 1ère année. J'ai discuté avec un garde de Cap Tourmente... cette année avec un printemps très tardif les oies ont peu ou pas pondu. Celles qui l'ont fait ont été la cible des prédateurs car les lemmings étaient peu nombreux.
En final le taux de reproduction a été proche de 2%! La dernière fois que cela s'est produit c'était en 1999.
This year we will not have the chance to see many young geese from the 1st year. I spoke with a guard at Cap Tourmente... this year with a very late spring, the geese have little or no eggs. Those that did were targeted by predators because the lemmings were few.
In the end, the reproduction rate was close to 2%! The last time this happened was in 1999.

Couronne lunaire et Pléiades
La photographie, prise le soir du 20 janvier depuis la ville d'Arras, après une importante chute de neige dans le nord de la France, révèle un spectacle céleste remarquable - une couronne lunaire. Connaissez vous ce phénomène rare ?
Contrairement à un arc-en-ciel classique, le phénomène observé n'était pas lié à une pluie récente, mais plutôt à la réfraction de la lumière dans les gouttelettes ou cristaux de glace présents dans l'air, notamment dans les nuages. Un halo lumineux et blanchâtre s'est formé directement autour de la lune. À la périphérie de cette couronne lunaire, les couleurs caractéristiques d'un arc-en-ciel ont émergé, bien que leur séparation ne soit pas aussi nette que celle d'un arc-en-ciel traditionnel. Les teintes semblent se fondre harmonieusement les unes dans les autres.
Ce phénomène se distingue par son diamètre relativement restreint. La bordure intérieure, entourant la Lune, s'étend sur un angle compris entre 2,5° et 8°, tandis que la bordure extérieure peut atteindre jusqu'à 15°.
Une autre particularité de cette image est la "conjonction" entre la lune et les Pléiades (amas d'étoiles) qui sont présentes dans le halo orange à l'intérieur de la couronne.
Matériel utilisé : Canon 6D astrodon – 20/01/2024 – Canon 50mm - HDR.
N'hésitez pas à poser des questions si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur ce phénomène.

Lunar Crown and Pleiades
The photograph, taken on the evening of January 20th from the city of Arras, after a significant snowfall in northern France, reveals a remarkable celestial phenomenon - a lunar crown. Are you familiar with this rare phenomenon?
Unlike a typical rainbow, the observed phenomenon was not related to recent rain but rather to the refraction of light in the droplets or ice crystals present in the air, particularly in the clouds. A luminous and whitish halo formed directly around the moon. At the periphery of this lunar crown, the characteristic colors of a rainbow emerged, although their separation was not as distinct as that of a traditional rainbow. The hues appear to blend harmoniously into one another.
This phenomenon is characterized by its relatively small diameter. The inner edge surrounding the moon extends at an angle between 2.5° and 8°, while the outer edge can reach up to 15°.
Another feature of this image is the "conjunction" between the moon and the Pleiades (a cluster of stars) present in the orange halo within the crown.
Equipment used: Canon 6D astrodon – January 20, 2024 – Canon 50mm - HDR.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions about this phenomenon.

El queso denominado «Tome des Bauges» recibe su nombre del macizo alpino del que procede. La existencia de «tome» o «tomme» está documentada desde hace varios siglos en esta región y la fabricación de este queso en las cooperativas productoras de queso (y frutas) y los pastizales de montaña, según prácticas tradicionales, se va a mantener frente a la producción «industrial» de quesos grandes.
Es un queso de leche cruda de vaca que se presenta en forma de cilindro entre 18 y 20 cm de diámetro, entre 3 y 5 cm de altura y entre 1,1 y 1,4 kg de peso al final de la maduración.
Su corteza presenta relieves e irregularidades, con un espesor de 2 a 3 mm y un color gris en el que pueden desarrollarse naturalmente algunas zonas que presentan una pigmentación entre amarilla y parda.
Su pasta, entre ligeramente resistente y flexible, tiene un color marfil, y puede presentar pequeñas grietas.
La leche de este queso se extrae de las vacas que pastan en las praderas alpinas del Parque Natural de Bauges. Las flores silvestres constituyen una dieta rica, que se refleja en el sabor dulce y complejo de este queso.
Éste es uno de los Tomme se Savoie más sabrosos; se hace con leche entera y cruda y se prensa levemente para lograr una textura elástica.
... Bien que nettement plus petite et nettement moins haute, elle comporte néanmoins quatre cheminées, dûes au rang de ses habitants - qui sont nettement moins nombreux que les hommes de troupe.
