IMAGING THE APPLE
PRESS RELEASE
Forty-eight artists have been invited to exhibit responses to IMAGING THE APPLE.
The exhibition is scheduled from March 25 to May 1, 2010 at AC Institute [Direct Chapel] 547 West 27th Street, 5th & 6th floors, New York. www.artcurrents.org
IMAGING THE APPLE is a development of a successful show that toured the Eastern states of Australia in 2004 . 2005. The original exhibition was organized by artist/curator John R. Neeson who is co-curating the New York version with Elizabeth Gower also a Melbourne based artist/curator.
The New York show includes Artists from Stockholm, Beijing, Pittsburg, New York, Toledo, Hollywood, Auckland, Plymouth, Melbourne and Sydney; and in the case of Billy Tjampijinpa Kenda from an area in Central Australia as geographically remote from New York City as it's possible to get.
The Artists represent a cross generational group, with established and well known Artists such as Yoko Ono and Billy Apple, exhibiting alongside mid-career and emerging Artists, using a diverse range of media including text, photography, installation, video, sound and painting.
The conceptual basis for IMAGING THE APPLE references Paul Cézanne's ambition to 'astound Paris with the painting of a single apple'.
The apple has been a significant and reoccurring emblem in factual stories, legends and myths throughout western history.
Never actually identified as the guilty 'fruit of temptation' in the Garden of Eden, an apple nevertheless has been universally represented as the culprit for twenty centuries.
The 'apple' features in the Judgment of Paris from Ancient Greece; in the various legends of William Tell and Snow White and the poison apple from central Europe, in Isaac Newton's revelation on gravity from England, in the origin of the Granny Smith apple from Australia, and from America, Johnny Apple seed.
There is also considerable mythology surrounding why New York City became known as the .big apple.. One story is, that in the jargon of US jazz musicians a gig was an .apple. and a gig in New York City, the big apple. A second tale. dating from the 19th Century concerns a high-class bordello, run by Eve, who had the best .apples. in town.
In colloquial Australian "she'll be apples" translates, as "it will be fine" while 'an Apple a day keeps the doctor away', 'an apple for the teacher' and 'the apple of my eye' are epithets common in the English-speaking world that associates the apple with health and goodness.
Finally 'apple' has become an enduring contemporary icon associated with the legendary Beatles company, the personal computers and ipod.
All these associations resonate in various degrees of intensity through the forty-eight responses in IMAGING THE APPLE.
IMAGING THE APPLE is accompanied by a catalogue, documenting the works, and including a project essay by John R.Neeson. It is published by AC Institute and distributed by Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
IMAGING THE APPLE has received a grant through the Dame Joan Sutherland Fund from the Australian American Association and in-kind sponsorship from Chapman & Bailey, an Australian based Art materials company.
Artists presenting responses: -
Billy Apple, Peter Burke, Jon Campbell, Ross Coulter, Holly Crawford, Penelope Davis, Kate Daw, Kim Donaldson, Janenne Eaton, Steve Ellis, Andrew Erdos, Juan Ford, Sue Ford, Clark V. Fox, Timothy Gaewsky, Martin Gantman, Michael Georgetti, Elizabeth Gower, Denise Green, Hao Guo & Thea Rechner, Jayne Holsinger, Natasha Johns-Messenger, Kate Just, Larry Kagan, Billy Tjampijinpa Kenda, Sardi Klein, Richard Kostelanetz, Kevin Laverty, Deven Marriner, Ben Matthews, Rob McKenzie & Kain Picken, My Dog Sighs, John R. Neeson, Yoko Ono, Mary Lou Pavlovic, Amy Pivak, Paul Ross, Andreas Söderberg, Spoonbill, Charles Tashiro, Brie Trenerry, Nico Vassilakis, Dan Waber, Cara Wood-Ginder, Max Yawney, Anne Zahalka.

Normally dry but in the spring these pools of stagnate water pop up and make frogs happy. They fill with melting snow and rain water, the dry up as the weather gets warmer. Another example of the Earth's wax and wane.

Deuxième débat de la primaire écologiste à Paris le 9 juin 2011.

Primaire EELV à Paris, Nicolas Hulot éclipse Eva Joly :
Au cours du deuxième débat de la primaire écologiste organisé hier soir à Paris, Nicolas Hulot s’est mis la salle de la Bellevilloise dans la poche, malgré sa volonté réaffirmée d’« ouverture ». À ses côtés, une Eva Joly au charisme limité, un Stéphane Lhomme trop agressif et un Henri Stoll bien consensuel.
« Tu fumes pas des pétards, toi ? » À la sortie du deuxième débat de la primaire Europe écologie – Les Verts (EELV), organisé hier soir dans le XXe arrondissement de Paris, les partisans d’Eva Joly ont besoin de réconfort. Les deux heures d’échanges entre les quatre candidats EELV dans la fournaise de la Bellevilloise n’ont pas franchement été à l’avantage de la députée européenne. Campée sur les fondamentaux du programme écologiste, auréolée d’une belle image d’intégrité, applaudie chaleureusement par le public avant l’ouverture des micros, Eva Joly aura pourtant souffert, si ce n’est sombré, dans le cruel exercice de la joute oratoire. Entre Stéphane Lhomme le rentre-dedans, Henri Stoll l’écolo bonhomme et Nicolas Hulot la star médiatique habitée pour la première fois d’un discours politique offensif et assumé, l’oxygène est soudain devenu denrée rare.
D’emblée, Stéphane Lhomme, le militant anti-nucléaire, montre les crocs. « Il y a une grande colère à la base du mouvement par rapport au problème Hulot. » La salle explose, hostile à ce qu’elle considère comme une attaque personnelle, strictement prohibée par la charte signée des quatre candidats. « Ce n’est pas une attaque personnelle, mais un problème 100 % politique », rétorque Lhomme, qui évoque les ex-mécènes de monsieur Ushuaïa. « Il nous arrive de la planète TF1. » Pendant que les caméras des chaînes d’info fondent de plaisir, la salle est définitivement perdue pour le président de l’Observatoire du nucléaire, qui franchira encore la ligne verte à l’occasion d’une ou deux perfidies. Dommage, tant, sur le fond, le militant Lhomme sait soulever des questions pertinentes.
Chahuté, Nicolas Hulot ne pouvait rêver meilleure mise sur orbite. « Je subis sans broncher parce que l’enjeu mérite de passer au-dessus » de « ce petit poison en procès écologique », peut-il commencer, grand seigneur. Avant d’enchaîner, plus frontal : « Que sait Stéphane Lhomme de ce que moi et ma Fondation avons fait comme succès parfois silencieux depuis 20 ans, rien ! » Et l’ex-animateur télé de dérouler un discours à la tonalité très politique. Et offensif, avec ça. « Un score à deux chiffres est à notre portée », lâche Hulot, avant de faire claquer les formules qui auront manqué à ses adversaires tout au long de la soirée : « Je veux porter l’écologie de l’action et pas l’écologie de la sanction, l’écologie de la conviction (…) pas de la punition », l’écologie du « rassemblement », « pas du clivage ». Galvanisé, Nicolas Hulot choisit d’assumer une des rares vraies différences de fond entre les quatre candidats. Il prône, enflammé, une écologie « décomplexée », qui n’a « pas peur d’ouvrir ses bras » à partir du moment où « on ne renie pas nos fondamentaux. Oui, j’assume ce choix. » Applaudissements nourris, dont on a du mal à conclure, dans l’euphorie collective du moment, s’ils marquent une véritable approbation des militants au pari de l’ouverture à la sauce Hulot.
Dans la douceur de la nuit parisienne, attablés devant quelques pintes de bière et planches de charcuterie-fromage, les proches d’Eva Joly sont bien loin de ces considérations. Entre mines déconfites et analyse de la soirée, les plus optimistes se tournent déjà vers le prochain débat, mercredi 15 juin à Lille. Pour corriger l’image trop terne de l’ancienne juge d’instruction, une élue EELV propose : « Il faut lui faire parler de foot à Lille, une blague en Ch’ti, avec son accent ce sera marrant ». Moue sceptique d’un militant expérimenté : « Euh, attention hein, Eva c’est pas une grande comique. Et quelqu’un de pas drôle qui essaye de faire rire… » L’addition, s’il vous plaît.
Xavier Frison.

About Cinderella
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new Stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. When Ella meets a dashing stranger in the woods, unaware that he is really the Prince (Richard Madden) and not merely Kit, an apprentice at the palace, she believes she has finally found a kindred soul. Meanwhile, the calculating Grand Duke (Stellan Skarsgård) devises a plan to thwart the Prince’s hopes of reuniting with Ella and enlists the support of the devious Stepmother. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand. Soon, a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward and, armed with a pumpkin, a few mice and a magic wand, changes Cinderella’s life forever.
Directed by Academy Award® nominee Kenneth Branagh (“Thor,” “Hamlet”) and starring two-time Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Elizabeth”), Lily James (“Downton Abbey”), Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones”) and Academy Award nominee Helena Bonham Carter (“The King’s Speech,” “Alice in Wonderland”), “Cinderella” is produced by Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “Elysium”), Allison Shearmur (“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1”) and David Barron (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1”) with Tim Lewis (“Edge of Tomorrow”) serving as executive producer. The screenplay is by Chris Weitz (“About a Boy,” “The Golden Compass”).

The Postcard
A Silverline Series postcard published by Ray & Co. of London E.C.
The card was posted in South East London on Thursday the 10th. May 1906 to:
Miss A. Goff,
Staff,
Heath Asylum,
Bexley.
The brief message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"From old Tinker with
best wishes".
The Heath Asylum
The Heath Asylum was London's 7th. Asylum, built within 750 acres of land. It was designed by George Thomas Hine and opened on the 19th. September 1898. Its name was changed to Bexley Mental Hospital in 1918. Building the hospital cost £34,000, and it was designed for 2,000 patients.
After further name changes the occupancy level declined until the hospital was closed in 2001. The site was sold for residential development.
Miss Millie Legarde
Millie Legarde was an English actress and singer who featured primarily in Edwardian musical comedy productions.
Millie played the part of Lady Rosemary Beaulieu in 'Three Little Maids', which is an English musical by Paul Rubens. The story concerns three simple curate's daughters who go to London to earn their livings serving tea in a Bond Street tea shop. They become the romantic rivals of three ladies of fashion, but succeed because of their freshness.
The musical opened at the Apollo Theatre in London on the 10th. May 1902, running for a total of 348 performances. There was also a Broadway production in 1903 as well as international tours.
Millie Legarde was also in 'The White Chrysanthemum' where she played the part of the young widow Betty Kenyon. 'The White Chrysanthemum' is an English musical in three acts that opened at the Criterion Theatre on the 31st. August 1905. It ran for 179 performances, closing on the 10th. February 1906.
The National Portrait Gallery in London has eight photographic portraits of Millie Legarde taken in the early years of the 20th. century.
The Opening of the Simplon Tunnel
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 10th. May 1906 marked the opening of the Simplon Tunnel.
The Simplon Tunnel
The Simplon Tunnel is a railway tunnel that connects Brig, Switzerland and Domodossola, Italy, through the Alps, providing a shortcut under the Simplon Pass route.
It is straight except for short curves at either end. It actually consists of two single-track tunnels built nearly 15 years apart. The first to be opened is 19,803 m (64,970 ft) long; the second is 19,824 m (65,039 ft) long, making it the longest railway tunnel in the world until 1982, when the Daishimizu Tunnel in Japan opened.
Culminating at a height of only 705 m (2,313 ft) above sea level, the Simplon Tunnel was also the lowest direct Alpine crossing for 110 years, until the opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in 2016.
The Simplon tunnel has a maximum rock overlay of approximately 2,150 m (7,050 ft), also a world record at the time. Temperatures up to 56 °C (133 °F) have been measured within the tunnel.
Work on the first tube of the Simplon Tunnel commenced in 1898. The Italian king Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and the president of the Swiss Confederation Ludwig Forrer formally opened the tunnel at Brig on the 10th. May 1906. Work on the second tube of the tunnel started in 1912, and it was opened in 1921.
The Daishimizu Tunnel
During the construction of the Daishimizu Tunnel, a fire created a large amount of smoke in the tunnel, and 16 workers died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
When this tunnel was completed, the time between Niigata and Tokyo went down to approximately one hour and forty minutes, three hours faster than previously. Also, when the tunnel was built, natural water was found during construction, and this is now sold in bottles.
Pondicherry (/pɒndᵻˈtʃɛri/ or /pɒndᵻˈʃɛri/) or Puducherry is a city, an urban agglomeration and a municipality in Puducherry district in the Indian union territory of Puducherry. It is affectionately known as Pondy, and has been officially known by the alternative name Puducherry since 2006. Pondicherry is the regional capital and largest city in the territory.
HISTORY
The history of the City of Pondicherry is recorded only after the arrival of Dutch, Portuguese, British and French colonialists. By contrast, nearby places such as Arikamedu, Ariyankuppam, Kakayanthoppe, Villianur and Bahur, which were annexed by the French East India Company over a period of time and which became the Union Territory of Pondicherry after Independence, have recorded history predating the colonial period.
A marketplace named Poduke or Poduca is recorded as a Roman trading destination from the mid 1st century. The area was part of the Pallava Kingdom of Kanchipuram in the 4th century. The Cholas of Thanjavur held it from the 10th to 13th centuries, only to be replaced by the Pandya Kingdom in the 13th century. The Vijayanagar Empire took control of almost all the South of India in the 14th century and maintained control until 1638 when they were supplanted by the Sultan of Bijapur. The French acquired Puducherry in 1674 and held it, with an occasional interruption by the British or Dutch, until 1954 (de jure 1956), when it was incorporated into the Indian Union along with the rest of French India.
On 18 October 1954 in a general election involving 178 people in Pondicherry Municipal and Commune Panchayat, 170 people were in favor of independence and eight people voted against. On 1 November 1954, Puducherry became part of the union.
However, the formal agreement was signed on 16 August, which is the date celebrated as Independence Day in Puducherry; following the demands of French India, Viduthalai Kaala Makkal Iyyakkam to their current Chief Minister of Puducherry. So 1 November was declared as the Independence Day of Pondicherry and 16 August as the Republic Day.
TOPOGRAPHY
The topography of Pondicherry is the same as that of coastal Tamil Nadu. Pondicherry's average elevation is at sea level, and a number of sea inlets, referred to as "backwaters" can be found.
Pondicherry experiences coastal erosion. The city is protected against the sea by a 2-kilometres long seawall, first completed by the French in 1735, which reaches a height of 27 feet above sea level. A weather-beaten cement plaque with the year 1952 is still visible along a section of the seawall. The seawall is protected from the direct onslaught of waves by rows of granite boulders which are reinforced every year to stop erosion. Whenever gaps appear or the stones sink into the sand, the Government adds more boulders to keep it strong.
TOWN STRUCTURE
Pondicherry city consists of 42 wards. Wards 1-10 are located in north of the city. Wards 11-19 are located in Boulevard Town and remaining wards are located in the southwest of the downtown.
ECONOMY
In 2012, the Ministry of Power inaugurated the Smart Grid project in Puducherry.
Farming around Pondicherry include crops such as rice, pulses, sugarcane, coconuts, and cotton.
CLIMATE
The climate of Pondicherry is classified by Köppen-Geiger system as tropical wet and dry (As), similar to that of coastal Tamil Nadu. Summer lasts from April to early June, when maximum temperatures frequently hit the 41 °C mark. The average maximum temperature is 36 °C. Minimum temperatures are in the order of 28–32 °C. This is followed by a period of high humidity and occasional thundershowers from June till September.
The northeast monsoon sets in during the middle of October, and Pondicherry gets the bulk of its annual rainfall during the period from October to December. The annual average rainfall is 1.240 mm. Winters are warm, with highs of 30 °C and lows often dipping to around 18–20 °C.
DEMOGRAPGICS
At the 2011 India census, Pondicherry had a population of 675,000. Males constitute 50% of the population and females 50%. Pondicherry has an average literacy rate of 76%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 82%, and female literacy is 71%. In Pondicherry, 11% of the population is under 6 years of age.
The majority of Pondicherrians speak Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam. There is a community of French people in Pondicherry and a number of French institutions such as a consulate, the French Institute, and L'Alliance Française.
There is also a sizable community of Indians from other states of India, notably West Bengal, Gujarat and Odisha.
Tamil and French are the official languages of Pondicherry.
TRANSPORT
Pondicherry is connected to Chennai via the East Coast Road through Mahabalipuram. The Pondicherry Road Transport Corporation runs buses within the city. The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation operates Volvo air-conditioned services from Chennai to Pondicherry. There are daily bus services from several main stops from Chennai.
From 14 April, as PM N.Modi announces the city to be a Smart City - Pondicherry is now connected by Air India with an ATR aircraft service 6 times a week except Wednesday, its an afternoon service departing from Bangalore returning by evening to Bangalore.
Pondicherry is connected by train to all metros: Chennai, Delhi, Howrah, and Mumbai, as well as other important cities such as Kanyakumari, Pune, Bhubaneshwar, Bangalore and Mangalore. Puducherry Airport has scheduled flights to Bangalore, as well as charter flights and operations of the local flying training school.
TOURISM
Pondicherry is a popular tourist destination in South India. The city has many colonial buildings, churches, temples, and statues which, combined with the systematic town planning and planned French style avenues, still preserve much of the colonial ambiance.
The most popular tourist destinations are the four beaches in Pondicherry, which are Promenade Beach (also known locally as the Rocky Beach), Beach, The Auroville Beach and Serenity Beach. Sri Aurobindo Ashram, located on rue de la Marine, is one of the most well known and wealthiest ashrams in India. Auroville (City of Dawn) is an "experimental" township located 8 km north-west of Pondicherry. It is meant to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony, above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities.
There are a number of old and large churches in Pondicherry, most of which were built in the 18th and 19th centuries. A number of heritage buildings and monuments are present around the Promenade Beach, such as the Children's Park & Dupleix Statue, Gandhi statue, Nehru Statue, Le Café, French War Memorial, 19th Century Light House, Bharathi Park, Governors Palace, Romain Rolland Library, Legislative Assembly, Pondicherry Museum and the French Institute of Pondicherry at Saint-Louis Street.
Puducherry is also popular for its eateries that cover a wide variety of cuisines ranging from French, Indian and Italian to Mexican, Thai and Chinese. Some restaurants also serve a unique Indo-French cuisine that gives tourists a taste of Puducherry's colonial influences. Most popular eateries include Baker's Street, The White Town Cafe, Zuka, Carte Blanche and La Maison Rose.
Puducherry Botanical Gardens is located south of the New Bus Stand. Chunnambar Backwater resort is situated 8 km from Pondicherry, along the Cuddalore Main Road. This tropical resort is flanked by a quiet-flowing creek on one side. Boating and tree house are very popular.
Arulmigu Manakula Vinayagar Devasthanam on Manakula Vinayagar Street is a famous Hindu temple, which houses Lord Ganesha. Sri Manakula Vinayagar Temple was in existence before the French came and settled in Pondicherry i.e. before 1666. According to Sasthra, Lord GANESHA is named in 16 types based on his various forms, out of which this god facing the east coast near the Bay of Bengal was named as Bhuvaneshar Ganapathy, now called as Manakula Vinayagar. In Tamil, 'Manal' means sand and 'Kulam' means pond near the sea. Earlier, there was full of sand around the pond. So, the people called the god as Manal Kulathu Vinayagar [means God near the pond of sand]. Later, it was named as Manakula Vinayagar.
Thirukaameeswarar Temple is one of the ancient temples located in a rural town called Villianur (the ancient name is Vilvanallur, meaning "vilva marangal niraindha nalla vur"), which is located about 10 km away (towards Villupuram) from Pondicherry town. This temple is renowned as Periya Koil "Big Temple". The prime god is Lord Shiva and the prime goddess is Goddess Kokilambigai. In addition, there are also other Hindu gods such as Murugan, Vinayagar, Thakshanamoorthy, Perumal, Bhramah, Chandikeshwarar, Natarajar, Navagrahah, and 63 Naayanmaars. The pioneers[clarification needed] in this temple say that the age of this temple is about 1000+ years. It is thought to have been built by one of the Chola kings. There is also a huge "temple pond". The "Ther Thiruvizha" (Car Festival) is celebrated at this temple.
Apart from so many sight seeing places for the tourists, there are a number of various bakeries and restaurants that cater to the Europeans taste buds. For others there are many Indian, Continental, Chinese and fast food restaurants to choose from.

The Members is a British punk rock band that originated in Camberley, England. Its best known recording is The Sound of the Suburbs (1979).
The Members was formed by lyricist Nicky Tesco (Nick Lightowlers) in 1976, through an invited audition at a recording studio at Tooley Street, London.[1] The original personnel, with Tesco (vocals), was Gary Baker (guitar), and Steve Morley (bass guitar), with Steve Maycock or Clive Parker (drums). Morley and Parker were later replaced by Chris Payne and Adrian Lillywhite.
In 1976, the band performed for its first engagements at The Red Cow (London W6), The Windsor Castle (London W9) and The Nashville Rooms (London W14). In that year composer Jean Marie Carroll (aka JC Carroll) joined the band to compliment Tesco's lyrics.[1] The Members had recorded a number of songs, but the first released recording was Fear on the Streets, produced by Lillywhite's brother Steve Lillywhite. This song was included on the first record released by the Beggars Banquet label, the punk compilation, Streets (1977).[2] The song-writing collaboration between Tesco and Carroll moved The Members ‘sound’ towards an incorporation of reggae, shown in the first single released for Stiff Records, Solitary Confinement, produced by Larry Wallis. Following these releases, band personnel became Tesco (vocals), Carroll (vocals and guitar), Nigel Bennett (guitar), Payne (bass) and Lillywhite (drums).
In 1978/79 The Members continued to play the London pub and club circuit, and became a feature in the music press. It signed to Virgin Records in 1978, for which it recorded The Sound of the Suburbs, again produced by Steve Lillywhite. This became The Members' biggest chart success and its best known song in the UK. The follow up single, Offshore Banking Business, a reggae tune written by Carroll, did not achieve the same popularity. A version of Offshore Banking Business was recorded for the early 80s film "Urgh! A Music War”, produced by Michael White, distributed by Filmways and Lorimar Productions.[3]
The Members' first album, At the Chelsea Nightclub, was followed by a second for Virgin, 1980 – The Choice Is Yours. Its last album was Going West,[2] issued a year earlier as Uprhythm, Downbeat (1982) in the US.[1]
The band broke up in 1983, when Tesco left the band after the last tour of the US. In 1989, Tesco appeared in Leningrad Cowboys Go America, written and directed by Aki Kaurismaki, a film about a fictional Russian rock band touring the US.[4] This fictional band then toured as an actual band, and recorded the Tesco song Thru the Wire. Kaurismäki directed a video for Thru the Wire, featuring Tesco.[5] As well as working as a music journalist for the magazine Music Week, Tesco has been a commentator on new releases for 6Music's Roundtable.
In 2007, The Members were reunited at The Inn on the Green, Ladbroke Grove, London, MC'd by Phill Jupitus under his 1980s performance poet stage name of “Porky The Poet”.
In 2009, a new single International Financial Crisis (a re-write of Offshore Banking Business) was released, recorded by Tesco, Carroll, Payne and Bennett, with artwork by the original Members’ album sleeve designer, Malcolm Garrett. The same year, Carroll and Payne toured as The Members, with occasional appearances of Tesco and Bennett. A Members' line-up of Carroll, Payne and Nick Cash (drums) have performed during 2010, playing in Spain and Italy, and at the Isle of Wight [6] and Glastonbury Festivals.
Martha, Direct Relief's Domestic Program Officer, explains oral hygiene to children receiving free dental work at a free clinic visit in Santa Maria CA.
About the Healthy Smiles Program
Since 1994, the Healthy Smiles by Direct Relief has provided free dental treatment to 1,800 low-income, uninsured school-age children with severe need. Sponsored by Healthy Smiles, one-day free clinics are hosted by local dentists and Healthy Start programs throughout Santa Barbara County.
This free-clinic event was hosted by Dr. Samuel Burg and was staffed by volunteer dentists and hygienists who provided dental care and education to over 60 children that day.
Receiving services are low-income, uninsured children identified by their schools as needing professional dental care that they would not have been able to receive without the program.
Additionally, children received Dental Packs – toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss – that were donated by multiple healthcare manufacturers to Direct Relief and packed by volunteers at Direct Relief. For some families, event the cost of a toothbrush is too much and children go without. These donated products ensure that children can continue the good oral hygiene practices they learn during their free clinic visitl.
Each year, Direct Relief distributes approximately 1,000 child dental kits and 3,400 family dental kits (each of which serves a family of five) with donated dental supplies, which Direct Relief then allocates to their local partner agencies. These agencies distribute the dental kits to the low-income children and families whom they already serve

At Rugby Station in Rugby, Warwickshire on a sunny April day.
Rugby railway station serves the town of Rugby in Warwickshire, England. It opened during the Victorian era, in 1885, replacing earlier stations situated a little further west. Since the closure of the former Rugby Central station on the now-abandoned Great Central Railway route through the town, it is Rugby's only station. Between 1950 and 1970 the station was known as Rugby Midland before reverting to its original title. The station underwent an extensive upgrade during 2006-2008, with extra platforms added, and a new ticket office and entrance building constructed, however the original Victorian part of the station was retained in the upgrade.
Rugby station is at the centre of two important junctions of the West Coast Main Line (WCML) connecting London to Birmingham and North West England and Scotland. The junction of the Trent Valley Line to the North West, and the Rugby-Birmingham-Stafford Line to Birmingham is a short distance west of the station. East of the station, the Northampton Loop Line diverges at a junction from the direct line to London. Until the 1960s it also had routes to Leicester, Peterborough East and Leamington Spa (Avenue) but these have all since been closed.
The present station, managed by Virgin Trains, is located roughly half a mile north of Rugby town centre. On the WCML as a whole, it is located 82 miles (132 km) north of London Euston, and 319 miles (513 km) south of Glasgow Central.

A Paris, Al Gore donne le coup d'envoi d'une émission de 24h sur le climat
L’ancien candidat à la présidentielle américaine et prix Nobel de la paix a lancé vendredi une émission de 24 heures à Paris. A deux semaines de la Cop21, Al Gore veut mobiliser autour de la question climatique.
Le groupe Duran Duran a donné le coup d’envoi du show vendredi soir dans un studio éphémère en forme de bulle, sous la tour Eiffel. Al Gore est aux manettes de cette émission mondiale, diffusée en direct sur le site de The Climate Reality Project, une organisation dont il est le président fondateur.
Pendant ces 24 heures, scientifiques, politiques et chanteurs se relaient pour interpeller sur les enjeux du climat, à quelques jours de la Conférence sur climat de Paris. "Cette émission vise à mettre la pression sur les dirigeants mondiaux pour qu'ils concluent un accord sur le climat le plus solide possible à la prochaine conférence de l'ONU à Paris, et aussi pour encourager chacun à agir dans sa propre communauté", expliquent les organisateurs.
Baptisée "24 heures de réalité et la Terre en direct: le monde regarde" (24 Hours of Reality and Live Earth: the World is Watching), l'émission se déroule en direct depuis Paris mais aussi depuis d'autres régions du monde: Etats-Unis, Chine, Australie, Philippines, Afrique du Sud, Canada, Kenya, Antarctique, Mexique, Malaisie, Inde et Bangladesh.
Dans le studio de la tour Eiffel, François Hollande sera reçu samedi, seul avec Al Gore, "pour un entretien exclusif". Vendredi soir, Ségolène Royal, la ministre de l’Écologie est déjà intervenue sur le plateau de l’émission et a plaidé pour un accord mondial en faveur du climat. "Il faut que les pays les plus pollueurs de la planète améliorent leur contribution, a déclaré Ségolène Royal (…) et que les pays riches tiennent leurs engagements".
Des concerts de Pharrel Williams et Elton John.
Parmi les autres intervenants, les organisateurs ont annoncé le président mexicain Felipe Calderon, le Premier ministre du Québec, Philippe Couillard, le gouverneur de Californie Jerry Brown et l'ancien secrétaire général de l'ONU Kofi Annan. Ces 24 heures sont aussi animées par des concerts de plusieurs chanteurs. A l’affiche, Elton John, Pharrel Williams ou encore Neil Young, mais leurs concerts seront uniquement retransmis.
En 2007, Al Gore avait reçu le prix Nobel de la paix avec le Giec pour son engagement dans la lutte contre le dérèglement climatique. En 2006, il avait notamment réalisé Une vérité qui dérange, un documentaire sur les conséquences du dérèglement climatique, récompensé aux Oscars. Avec ce rendez-vous, l’ancien candidat à la présidence américaine souhaite de nouveau interpeller sur les enjeux climatiques.

Samedi soir 13 novembre 2015. Suite aux attentats, Al Gore interrompt une émission mondiale sur le climat
L'ex-vice-président américain Al Gore, qui organisait vendredi et samedi au pied de la Tour Eiffel à Paris une émission mondiale de 24 heures sur le climat, diffusée sur internet, l'a interrompue en raison des attentats survenus en France, par "solidarité avec le peuple français".
"Nous interrompons notre émission en raison des tragédies qui se déroulent ici à Paris, en raison de l'état d'urgence mais surtout parce que nous voulons exprimer notre solidarité avec le peuple français et la ville de Paris", a-t-il déclaré.
"Nous voulons exprimer nos condoléances aux familles de ceux qui ont perdu la vie, ceux qui sont gravement blessés, ceux qui souffrent des conséquences de ces terribles attaques terroristes", a-t-il dit. "Nous sommes solidaires".
"Nous continuerons à parler des sujets de cette émission, la crise du climat et ses solutions", a-t-il ajouté.
Dans cette émission organisée depuis vendredi en début de soirée sur un plateau installé sous un dôme transparent au pied de la Tour Eiffel, Al Gore accueillait scientifiques, politiques et chanteurs pour tenter de mobiliser la planète sur les enjeux du climat, à deux semaines de la Conférence de l'ONU sur le climat organisée à Paris à partir du 30 novembre.
Plus d'une centaine de chefs d'Etats sont attendus à l'ouverture de cette Conférence.
François Hollande devait intervenir dans l'émission d'Al Gore, samedi en début d'après-midi.
Le programme devait être diffusé pendant 24 heures sur le site de The Climate Reality Project, organisation fondée et présidée par M. Gore.
La conférence de l'ONU sur le climat (COP21), du 30 novembre au 11 décembre, est censée d’aboutir à un accord mondial pour limiter le réchauffement climatique.

La 21e Conférence des Parties
Chaque année, depuis la signature de la Convention-Cadre des Nations Unies sur les Changements Climatiques en 1992, les 195 Etats signataires se réunissent pour définir ensemble des objectifs concrets de lutte contre les dérèglements climatiques. Aux côtés des représentants des Etats, les ONG, les collectivités territoriales, les syndicats, les entreprises et la communauté scientifique, participent aux débats.
Du 29 novembre au 11 décembre, Paris accueillait la 21e Conférence des Parties (COP21). Cette conférence est une échéance cruciale qui représente la fin d’un cycle de négociations, en s’inscrivant dans le prolongement direct de la grande COP de 1997, qui avait permis l’adoption du protocole de Kyoto.
La COP21 a établi les bases d’un nouvel accord international applicable à tous les pays. Il engagera l’ensemble des Nations dans une réduction globale des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES), dans l’objectif de maintenir le réchauffement mondial à 1.5°C.

François Hollande à ouvert la COP21, la conférence de Paris sur le climat. Le président Français a parlé d'un rendez-vous exceptionnel, un immense espoir : "Il s'agit de décider ici à Paris de l'avenir même de la planète" :

Sommet mondial sur le développement durable : discours de la France à l’ONU le 30 septembre 2015
François Hollande a évoqué les trois priorités après l’adoption du Programme de développement à l’horizon 2030 et en vue de la Conférence de Paris sur le climat en décembre. La première priorité est la préservation du climat, le Président français estimant qu’il faudrait signer un texte qui engagerait l’ensemble de la communauté internationale sur des décennies. Si notre planète subissait un réchauffement supérieur à 2°C, cela signifierait la disparition d’un certain nombre de pays, a prévenu le Président français, pour qui le caractère urgent de ce problème nécessitait des changements dans les modes de consommation et un financement approprié pour sa mise en œuvre. À son avis, 100 milliards de dollars seraient nécessaires pour assurer la transition énergétique et pour la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. La deuxième priorité est la lutte contre la pauvreté, qui devra être menée avec le fonds de la transition énergétique. La troisième priorité concerne la mobilisation de ressources pour la réalisation des trois piliers du développement durable pour assurer que tous les peuples de la planète jouissent pleinement de leurs droits fondamentaux en toute égalité et dignité dans un monde pacifique.
Le Président a par ailleurs annoncé que la France avait décidé d’augmenter son aide publique au développement à partir de 2020, à 4 milliards d’euros. Il a aussi annoncé la réforme de l’APD française en conjonction avec l’Agence française du développement et la Caisse des dépôts, qui deviendrait ainsi la plus grande banque européenne pour le développement. Il a également évoqué la mise en place de la taxe sur les transactions financières à partir de 2017, dont une partie serait affectée à la lutte contre les inégalités et contre la pauvreté.

Le dérèglement climatique vu par Jean-Louis Etienne
En partenariat avec Universcience.tv, nous poursuivons la publication d’une série d’entretiens en vidéo sur le changement climatique, dans la perspective de la COP21, la conférence internationale qui se tiendra à Paris du 30 novembre au 11 décembre. Cette conférence tentera de parvenir à un accord contraignant sur la transition vers des économies sobres en carbone.
Dans cette vidéo, Jean-Louis Etienne, explorateur de l’Arctique et de l’Antarctique mais aussi médecin, voit le réchauffement climatique comme une maladie, une fièvre qui touche la planète et s’aggrave aux pôles. Il prescrit l’arrêt des énergies fossiles – tout particulièrement le charbon avec lequel les pays du Sud se développent – et se demande si l’homme saura stopper à temps son addiction à ces énergies.
Cet entretien a été réalisé à l’occasion de l’exposition temporaire « Climat, l’expo à 360 ° » qui vient d’ouvrir à la Cité des sciences et de l’industrie de Paris.

Le Sommet des Consciences pour le climat : www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yukt6
Lancé par Nicolas Hulot, envoyé spécial du président de la République pour la protection de la planète, le Sommet des Consciences réunit le 21 juillet 2015 à Paris, au CESE plus d'une quarantaine personnalités morales et religieuses du monde entier pour répondre à la question « The climate, why do I care ? » et lancer ensemble un « Appel des Consciences pour le climat ».
Une mobilisation des consciences de tous le habitants de la planète s’impose pour réussir le défi auquel l’humanité est confrontée : limiter le réchauffement du climat en diminuant sa consommation d’énergies fossiles et permettre à tous de s’adapter aux conditions nouvelles !
Le Temps est compté. Ce n’est plus seulement une question écologique, économique ou politique. C’est l’avenir de l’humanité qui est en jeu. Chacun de nous se doit de répondre maintenant à la question : est-ce qu’il m’importe que l’aventure de l’humanité sur Terre puisse se poursuivre ? Est-ce que je suis prêt à modifier dès aujourd’hui mon mode de vie pour que nos enfants et leurs enfants puissent vivre dans des conditions supportables ?
L'Appel des consciences
Il est fondamental que les consciences des hommes et des femmes de cette planète s'expriment ensemble, quelques soient leurs conditions, leurs religions, leurs philosophies.
La campagne "Why do I care ?" invite chacun à témoigner, et à faire savoir autour de lui, pourquoi la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique est importante et nous concerne chacun.

Plaidoyer d'un homme libre
« Les sommets sur le climat se succèdent, nous croulons sous l'avalanche de rapports plus alarmants les uns que les autres. Et l'on se rassure avec une multitude de déclarations d'intention et de bonnes résolutions. Si la prise de conscience progresse, sa traduction concrète reste dérisoire. L'humanité doit se ressaisir, sortir de son indifférence et faire naître un monde qui prend enfin soin de lui. »
Nicolas Hulot, Président de la Fondation Nicolas Hulot pour la Nature et l'Homme
Ce manifeste écrit par Nicolas Hulot est un cri du coeur, un plaidoyer pour l'action, un ultime appel à la mobilisation et un coup de poing sur la table des négociations climat avant le grand rendez-vous de la COP21. Il engage chacun à apporter sa contribution dans l'écriture d'un nouveau chapitre de l'aventure humaine, à nous changer nous mêmes et par ce biais à changer le monde.
Diagnostic implacable, constat lucide mais surtout propositions concrètes pour les responsables politiques et pistes d'action accessibles pour chacun d'entre nous, cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de son engagement et de sa vision en toute liberté des solutions à « prescrire » avant et après la COP21. L'urgence est à l'action. En 12 propositions concrètes, Nicolas Hulot dresse, avec sa Fondation, une feuille de route alternative pour les États et suggère 10 engagements individuels pour que chacun puisse également faire bouger les lignes à son niveau.
Depuis 40 ans, Nicolas Hulot parcourt la planète. Témoin de sa lente destruction, il a décidé de devenir un des acteurs de sa reconstruction. Au côté de sa Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme ou en parlant aux oreilles des décideurs, il contribue à faire évoluer les mentalités.

And God Created Woman (French: Et Dieu... créa la femme) is a 1956 French romantic drama film directed by Roger Vadim in his directorial debut and starring Brigitte Bardot. Though not her first film, it is widely recognized as the vehicle that launched Bardot into the public spotlight and immediately created her "sex kitten" persona, making her an overnight sensation.
When the film was released in the United States by Kingsley-International Pictures in 1957, it pushed the boundaries of the representation of sexuality in American cinema, and most available prints of the film were heavily edited to conform with the Hays Code censorial standards.[citation needed] Filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich credited it for "breaking French cinema out of U.S. art houses and into the mainstream and thereby inadvertently also paving the way for the takeover in France of the New Wave filmmakers."[5]
A poorly-received English-language remake, also titled And God Created Woman, was directed by Vadim and released in 1988.
Plot
Juliette is an 18-year-old orphan in Saint-Tropez, France,[6][7] with a high level of sexual energy. She makes no effort to restrain her natural sensuality – lying nude in her yard, habitually kicking her shoes off and stalking about barefoot, and disregarding many societal conventions and the opinions of others. This behavior causes a stir and attracts the attention of most of the men around her.
Her first suitor is the much older and wealthy Eric Carradine. He wants to build a new casino in Saint-Tropez, but his plans are blocked by a small shipyard on the stretch of land which he needs for the development; the shipyard is owned by the Tardieu family.
Antoine, the eldest of the three Tardieu brothers, returns home for the weekend to hear Carradine's proposal and Juliette is waiting for him to take her away with him. His intentions are short-term, and he spurns her by leaving Saint-Tropez without her.
U.S theatrical advertisement, 9 April 1958
Tiring of her outrageous behavior, Juliette's guardians threaten to send her back to the orphanage, which will confine her until she is 21. To keep her in town, Carradine pleads unsuccessfully with Antoine to marry her. His infatuated and naive younger brother Michel sees his opportunity and proposes marriage to Juliette. Despite her love for Antoine, she accepts.
When Antoine is contracted to return home and work for Carradine, Juliette's behavior becomes increasingly disrespectful of her husband. In a huff, she takes one of the family's boats. When it develops engine trouble, she has to be saved by Antoine. While they are washed up together on a wild beach, she seduces him.
Juliette begins acting bizarrely. She takes to her bed, claiming to have a fever. She tells Christian, the youngest Tardieu brother, that she had sex with Antoine on the beach. When Madame Tardieu, mother of the three boys, hears about it, she tells Michel that he has to dump Juliette promptly. Michel goes to their room to talk with Juliette, but she has gone off to the Bar des Amis to drink and dance.
Michel tries to go looking for her, but Antoine locks him inside, telling him to forget her. Michel fights his brother for the key and heads out after Juliette.
Eric has been alerted that Juliette is making a spectacle of herself and comes to the bar to collect her. Juliette refuses to leave with him. Michel arrives but Juliette refuses to talk with him and continues her improvised and sexually suggestive dancing. When she ignores Michel's order to stop, Michel shoots at her. Eric steps in and is slightly wounded. Antoine offers to drive Eric to a doctor and they leave. Michel angrily slaps Juliette four times. She only smiles at him with satisfaction that she has provoked him to this behavior. En route to the doctor, Eric tells Antoine that he is going to reassign him to work elsewhere to put some distance between him and Michel and Juliette. He says: "That girl was made to destroy men". In the final scene, Michel and Juliette walk home together, hand in hand.

Production
By the mid-1950s Roger Vadim was an established screenwriter and had written several movies starring his then wife Brigitte Bardot. Producer Raoul Levy wanted Vadim to write and direct a film starring Bardot, and suggested he adapt the book The Little Genius by Maurice Garçon. Vadim disliked the book and came up with a new story, one based on a trial of a woman who had been the mistress of three different brothers, and who killed one of them. Vadim was particularly taken with the attitude of the woman towards her lovers, the jury and the police. Levy liked Vadim's idea and obtained finance.[8]
Levy succeeded in raising finance from Columbia, who would provide color and CinemaScope provided Curd Jurgens was given a role. The parts of the brothers had already been cast so Vadim rewrote the script in two days to expand the part of an arms dealer so it could be offered to Jurgens.[8]
Reception
Box office
The film was a big hit in France, one of the ten most popular films at the British box-office in its year of release[9] and the biggest foreign-language film ever in the United States at the time.[10] The film earned $4 million in the U.S. (grossing $12 million), and a further $21 million around the globe.[2][3]
The film was extremely popular in Kansas City, where it played for a year at the Kimo Theatre, grossing over $100,000, a record for Kansas City at the time.[11] In Europe, this movie smashed attendance records from Norway to the Middle East.[12] It earned for France over $8 million, more than France's biggest export — "the Renault Dauphine".[13]
In the United States the film was released by Kingsley-International, a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures as Columbia was forbidden to release a film with nudity and adult themes. The Catholic Legion of Decency gave it a "C" for "Condemned" rating. A Columbia spokesman stated that the film would have received twice as many bookings with a less restrictive "B" rating, but would only have done half the business.[14] Variety reported that in spite of the rating, the film broke "local records at the Paris Theatre, N.Y., and at other houses where it has played", and noted that "In Fitchburg, Mass., it actually outgrossed Ten Commandments."[15]
Author Peter Lev describes the film's impact in America:
And God Created Woman's impact on the film industry was significant. New Bardot films were eagerly snapped up by distributors, and old Bardot films were released or re-released. Prices for distribution rights to foreign films escalated overall.[16]
Critical response
When the film was released in the United States, Bosley Crowther, the film critic for The New York Times, found Brigitte Bardot attractive but the film lacking and was not able to recommend it. He wrote: "Bardot moves herself in a fashion that fully accentuates her charms. She is undeniably a creation of superlative craftsmanship. But that's the extent of the transcendence, for there is nothing sublime about the script of this completely single-minded little picture. ...We can't recommend this little item as a sample of the best in Gallic films. It is clumsily put together and rather bizarrely played. There is nothing more than sultry fervor in the performance of Mlle. Bardot, and Christian Marquand and Jean-Louis Trintignant are mainly heavy-breathers as her men".[17]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_God_Created_Woman_(1956_film)
Film critic Dennis Schwartz wrote: "The breezy erotic drama was laced with some thinly textured sad moments that hardly resonated as serious drama. But as slight as the story was it was always lively and easy to take on the eyes, adding up to hardly anything more than a bunch of snapshots of Bardot posturing as a sex kitten in various stages of undress. The public loved it and it became a big box-office smash, and paved the way for a spate of sexy films to follow. What was more disturbing than its dullish dialogue and flaunting of Bardot as a sex object, was that underneath its call for liberation was a reactionary and sexist view of sex."[18]
Rotten Tomatoes reports a 69% approval rating based on 13 reviews, with an average rating of 6.4/10.[19]
Censorship
When released in the United States, the film was condemned by the National Legion of Decency.[20]
Police made attempts to suppress its screening in the U.S.[21][22]
Saint-Tropez (/ˌsæn troʊˈpeɪ, - trəˈ-/ SAN troh-PAY, - trə-,[4][5] French: [sɛ̃ tʁɔpe]; Provençal: Sant Tropetz [san(t) tʀuˈpes]) is a commune in the Var department and the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Southern France. It is 68 kilometres (42 miles) west of Nice and 100 kilometres (62 miles) east of Marseille, on the French Riviera, of which it is one of the best-known towns. In 2018, Saint-Tropez had a population of 4,103. The adjacent narrow body of water is the Gulf of Saint-Tropez (French: Golfe de Saint-Tropez), stretching to Sainte-Maxime to the north under the Massif des Maures.
Saint-Tropez was a military stronghold and fishing village until the beginning of the 20th century. It was the first town on its coast to be liberated during World War II as part of Operation Dragoon. After the war, it became an internationally known seaside resort, renowned principally because of the influx of artists of the French New Wave in cinema and the Yé-yé movement in music. It later became a resort for the European and American jet set and tourists.
History

In 599 BC, the Phocaeans from Ionia founded Massilia (present-day Marseille) and established other coastal mooring sites in the area. Through the writings of Roman historian and military commander Pliny the Elder, it was found that Saint-Tropez was known in ancient times as Athenopolis and that it belonged to the Massilians.[6] In 31 BC, the Romans invaded the region. Their citizens built many opulent villas in the area, including one known as the "Villa des Platanes" (Villa of the Plane Trees). The closest settlement to Saint-Tropez in antiquity is attested as Heraclea-Caccabaria, today Cavalaire-sur-Mer, situated on the southern end of the peninsula, while the gulf of Saint-Tropez was called sinus Sambracitanus, which likely survives in the settlement name of Les Issambres.[7]
The town owes its current name to the early Christian martyr Saint Torpes. Legend tells of his decapitation at Pisa during Nero's reign, with his body placed in a rotten boat along with a rooster and a dog. The body purportedly landed at the present-day location of the town of Saint-Tropez.[8][9][10]
Toward the end of the ninth century, long after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West, pirates and privateers began a hundred years of attacks and sackings. In the tenth century, the village of La Garde-Freinet was founded 15 km (9 mi) to the north of Saint-Tropez. From 890 to 972, Saint-Tropez and its surroundings became an Arab Muslim colony dominated by the nearby Saracenic settlement of Fraxinet;[11][12] in 940, Saint-Tropez was controlled by Nasr ibn Ahmad.[12] From 961 to 963, Adalbert, son of Berengar, the pretender to the throne of Lombardy who was pursued by Otto I, hid at Saint-Tropez.[12] In 972, the Muslims of Saint-Tropez held Maïeul, the abbot of Cluny, for ransom.[12]
In 976, William I, Count of Provence, Lord of Grimaud, began attacking the Muslims, and in 980 he built a tower where the Suffren tower now stands. In 1079 and 1218, Papal bulls mentioned the existence of a manor at Saint-Tropez.
Saint-Tropez "le vieux port" (the old port)
From 1436, Count René I (the "good King René") tried to repopulate Provence. He created the Barony of Grimaud and appealed to the Genoan Raphael de Garezzio, a wealthy gentleman who had sent a fleet of caravels carrying 60 Genoese families to the area. In return, Count René promised to exempt the citizens from taxation. On 14 February 1470, Jean de Cossa, Baron of Grimaud and Grand Seneschal of Provence, agreed that the Genoan could build city walls and two large towers, which still stand: one tower is at the end of the Grand Môle and the other is at the entrance to the Ponche.
The city became a small republic with its own fleet and army and was administered by two consuls and 12 elected councillors. In 1558, the city's captain Honorat Coste was empowered to protect the city. The captain led a militia and mercenaries who successfully resisted attacks by the Turks and Spanish, succored Fréjus and Antibes and helped the Archbishop of Bordeaux regain control of the Lérins Islands.
In 1577, the daughter of the Marquis Lord of Castellane, Genevieve de Castilla, married Jean-Baptiste de Suffren, Marquis de Saint-Cannet, Baron de La Môle, and advisor to the parliament of Provence. The lordship of Saint-Tropez became the prerogative of the De Suffren family. One of the most notable members of this family was the later vice-admiral Pierre André de Suffren de Saint-Tropez (1729–1788), veteran of the War of the Austrian Succession, the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War.
In September 1615, Saint-Tropez was visited by a delegation led by the Japanese samurai Hasekura Tsunenaga that was on its way to Rome but was forced by weather to stop in the town. This may have been the first contact between the French and the Japanese.
Bust of Saint-Tropez during the Bravades
The local noblemen were responsible for raising an army that repulsed a fleet of Spanish galleons on 15 June 1637; Les Bravades des Espagnols, a local religious and military celebration, commemorates this victory of the Tropezian militia.[13] Count René's promise in 1436 to not tax the citizens of Saint-Tropez was honored until 1672, when Louis XIV abrogated it as he imposed French control.
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez was known as the Gulf of Grimaud until the end of the 19th century.
During the 1920s, Saint-Tropez attracted famous figures from the fashion world such as Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli. During World War II, the landing on 15 August 1944 began the Allied invasion of southern France, Operation Dragoon. In the 1950s, Saint-Tropez became internationally renowned as the setting for such films as And God Created Woman, which starred French actress Brigitte Bardot.
In May 1965, an Aérospatiale Super Frelon pre-production aircraft crashed in the gulf, killing its pilot.
On 4 March 1970, the French submarine Eurydice, with its home port as Saint-Tropez, disappeared in the Mediterranean with 57 crew aboard after a mysterious explosion.
The motto of Saint-Tropez is Ad usque fidelis, Latin for "faithful to the end". After the Dark Age of plundering the French Riviera, Raphaël de Garesio landed in Saint-Tropez on 14 February 1470, with 22 men, simple peasants or sailors who had left the overcrowded Italian Riviera. They rebuilt and repopulated the area, and in exchange were granted by a representative of the "good king", Jean de Cossa, Baron of Grimaud and Seneschal of Provence, various privileges, including some previously reserved exclusively for lords, such as exemptions from taxes status and the right to bear arms. About ten years later, a great wall with towers stood watch to protect the new houses from sea and land attack; some 60 families formed the new community. On 19 July 1479, the new Home Act was signed, "the rebirth charter of Saint-Tropez".[14]
Climate

Economy
The Hôtel Byblos is a Grand Hotel built in the mid-1960s.
The main economic resource of Saint-Tropez is tourism. The city is well known for the Hôtel Byblos and for Les Caves du Roy, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World; its 1967 inauguration featuring Brigitte Bardot and Gunter Sachs was an international event.
Beaches
Tropezian Tahiti beach in 2011
Tropezian beaches are located along the coast in the Baie de Pampelonne, which lies south of Saint-Tropez and east of Ramatuelle. Pampelonne offers a collection of beaches along its five-kilometre shore. Each beach is around 30 metres wide with its own beach hut and private or public tanning area.
Many of the beaches offer windsurfing, sailing and canoeing equipment for rent, while others offer motorized water sports, such as power boats, jet bikes, water skiing and scuba diving. Some of the beaches are naturist beaches. There are also many exclusive beach clubs that are popular among wealthy people from around the world.
Toplessness and nudity
Saint-Tropez's Tahiti Beach, which had been popularised in the film And God Created Woman featuring Brigitte Bardot, emerged as a clothing-optional destination,[16] but the mayor of Saint-Tropez ordered police to ban toplessness and to watch over the beach via helicopter.[17] The "clothing fights" between the gendarmerie and nudists become the main topic of a famous French comedy film series, Le gendarme de Saint-Tropez (The Troops of St. Tropez) featuring Louis de Funès. In the end, the nudist side prevailed.[18] Topless sunbathing is now the norm for both men and women from Pampelonne beaches to yachts in the centre of Saint-Tropez port.[19] The Tahiti beach is now clothing-optional, but nudists often head to private nudist beaches, such as that in Cap d'Agde.[20]
Port
Saint Tropez Port view
Aerial view of Saint-Tropez
The port was widely used during the 18th century; in 1789 it was visited by 80 ships. Saint-Tropez's shipyards built tartanes and three-masted ships that could carry 1,000 to 12,200 barrels. The town was the site of various associated trades, including fishing, cork, wine and wood. The town had a school of hydrography. In 1860, the flagship of the merchant navy, named The Queen of the Angels (La Reine des Anges, a three-masted ship of 740 barrels capacity), was built at Saint-Tropez.
Its role as a commercial port declined, and it is now primarily a tourist spot and a base for many well-known sail regattas. There is fast boat transportation with Les Bateaux Verts to Sainte-Maxime on the other side of the bay and to Port Grimaud, Marines de Cogolin, Les Issambres and St-Aygulf.
Events
Les Bravades de Saint-Tropez
Les Bravades de Saint-Tropez is an annual celebration held in the middle of May when people of the town celebrate their patron saint, Torpes of Pisa, and their military achievements. One of the oldest traditions of Provence, it has been held for more than 450 years since the citizens of Saint-Tropez were first given special permission to form a militia to protect the town from the Barbary pirates. During the three-day celebration, the various militias in costumes of the time fire their muskets into the air at traditional stops, march to the sound of bands and parade St. Torpes's bust. The townspeople also attend a mass wearing traditional Provençal costume.
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
Each year, at the end of September, a regatta is held in the bay of Saint-Tropez (Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez). Many yachts are entered, some as long as 50 metres. Many tourists come to the location for this event, or as a stop on their trip to Cannes, Marseille or Nice.
Traditional dishes
The Tarte tropézienne is a traditional cake invented by a Polish confectioner who had set up shop in Saint-Tropez in the mid-1950s, and made famous by actress Brigitte Bardot.[21]

Art
Saint-Tropez plays a major role in the history of modern art. Paul Signac discovered this light-filled place that inspired painters such as Matisse, Pierre Bonnard and Albert Marquet to come to Saint-Tropez. The painting styles of pointillism and fauvism emerged in Saint-Tropez. Saint-Tropez was also attractive for the next generation of painters: Bernard Buffet, David Hockney, Massimo Campigli and Donald Sultan lived and worked there. Today, Stefan Szczesny continues this tradition.
The contemporary artist Philippe Shangti imagined the design of Le Quai and L'Opera, restaurants located on the port of Saint-Tropez where he also exhibits his art collections. Centered on a specific theme, he always denounces different problems affecting society with provocative artworks.[43]
