Paris : Place Igor Stravinski

'Win' (Winifred?) at the front and 'Norah' (holding the wheel) in their Talbot-Darracq Tourer at Brean (i think).

 

I picked up four old photo albums at a boot sale last weekend and they turned out to be full of wonderful pictures from 1922-1925 of the 'sisters' (Update: They may not have been blood relations!) exploits and travels, many of them local to my area. They lived in Weston-Super-Mare! - With research i have managed to find out quite a bit about them and the places they visited but hope to discover more as the weeks go on.

 

Lots more from this pair to come! - I will replace this 'photo of a photo' with a proper scan in time.

 

I've looked at the album's so much over the last week that It actually feels like I know them?! :)

Concern: The Past

Principles: Figure to Ground & Rendering Form

 

It took me a while to figure how I wanted to pursue the idea of "the past" because it can be interpreted on many levels including a historical, personal, or philosophical perspective. I eventually decided to incorporate feminity with the past that utilized high contrast design principles to mimic a figure to ground relationship and a minimalist design. My work was inspired by Ellsworth Kelly's color-blocking techniques and Kara Walker's politically stirring, high-contrast work. Each square is meant to depict the relationship between men and women overtime and how times leads to a continual growth of complexities in society. The first square (from the left) shows an equal balance between men (black) and women (white) because before developed society ever emerged, men and women were merely creatures who served equal purposes in this world — to survive. As humans became more intelligent, men in developed society found ways to minimize a women's voice and diminish her importance / exploit her well-being for their own purpose. Eventually, by the 20th century, women took great strives in American society, and women were granted the right to vote by 1920. The newly emerging lines in the third square represent this first wave of feminism. The fourth square thus depicts the second wave of feminism where women entered the workforce more rigorously in the 1970's. Finally, the last square depicts the modern era — one where the complexity between the sexes has grown the greatest. Because women were marginalized so greatly for centuries before, we can no longer reach the simple harmony and equality of the past, but emerging voices have helped acquire more rights for women within the political, economic, and social constructs of society. The last square also appears so circuitous to underscore the entangled issues of race and sexual orientation in the modern era. Feminism and the idea of feminity needs to be intertwined within all human beings, not just expressed or only accepted in women. As these complexities continue to grow on the page, progress will be further achieved.

This recently described species lives life in extreme conditions. Like many other Tympanocrypis, this species can be found active in the hottest parts of the day in the scorching stony deserts upon which they live. Being able to thermoregulate and remain active in the hottest parts of the day allow them to exploit an entire niche for themselves; otherwise occupied by other species at the less-extreme end of the desert days.

 

These individuals were found basking in the mid-afternoon, at 38°C!

Gare Saint-Jean ; Bordeaux

We are officially into the late Fall and early Winter season when I see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) making its rounds, checking on the holes it dug in a tree a day before, and making a few more holes for the next day.

 

This one happens to be a male, most easily identified by the red crown and especially the red throat. And as is common for these guys, they tend to be shy and like to stay in the shadows while going about their business. They are extremely quite ~ if they have a specific call I've never heard it ~ and they are even very quite when digging their sap holes. I normally discover one because I'm chasing down other small birds and happen upon a Sapsucker.

Although most non-birders believe that the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a fictitious bird created just for the humorous name, in fact it is a widespread species of small woodpecker. Its habit of making shallow holes in trees to get sap is exploited by other bird species, and the sapsucker can be considered a "keystone" species, one whose existence is vital for the maintenance of a community.

La motrice 10 et la voiture voyageurs 22 ont été préservées par le chemin de fer touristique Blonay-Chamby.

 

La construction du train électrique à crémaillère débuta le 29 février 1912, après des années de projets. Son exploitation commença le 15 juillet 1915. Avec des rails d'un mètre de large, le train menait sur 10.5 km de la Souste à Loèche-les-Bains.

Afin d'économiser des frais, le tracé du chemin de fer empruntait la route sur plusieurs tronçons. Les premières années, le train desservait Loèche-les-Bains seulement durant la saison d'été. En hiver, le terminus était à Loèche-Ville. A partir de 1933 seulement, le chemin de fer assura un service permanent sur l'année.

Le nombre d'usagers traversant ainsi la valllée de la Dala jusqu'à Loèche-les-Bains est passé au fil des années de 15'255 à 133'879.

 

Le 27 mai 1967, l'exploitation de la ligne fut interrompue. L'acquisition de nouveau matériel roulant, ainsi que la séparation du tracé du chemin de fer de la route auraient demandé un investissement beaucoup trop conséquent. La concurrence grandissante de la voiture a également influencé ce choix. A partir de cette date, la LLB transporte les voyageurs au moyen de bus.

Mirit Ben-Nun uses lines and points as an expressive resource and does so by exploiting its nuances and associations to the fullest. Some forms follow the same direction and others change it constantly, even urgently. Its language is visual and independent of its expressiveness, lies in the value and organization of its elements. The things of the visible world are unimportant, the achievement is the achievement of reproduction of the world and human nature. Constantly encourages creativity. In this case pointillism conveys emotions by the effect it achieves using color, points, lines and thus captures the attention of the observer.

===Plaza Athénée, Paris===

 

"Champagne, monsieur?"

 

Bruce looked to the waiter, and smiled. "No thank you," he replied. It'd been a couple of hours now, and aside from the odd drunken outburst from a guest or two, the evening had gone smoothly. No sign of the Monk so far.

 

"Bruce Wayne?" a voice called out from behind him.

He turned around. In front of him, was a beautiful, dark haired woman, dressed in a long black dress. Her skin was pale, almost alarmingly so, and she spoke with a slight Russian accent. "Natalia Knight," she said, as she offered him her hand. "Would you like to dance?" she asks, as Bruce takes her hand in his.

 

"I'm sorry-" Bruce began, as they glided along the dancefloor. "How do you-?"

 

"Mr Wayne, please. There's not a single tabloid here that doesn't have your name on it. You know, I always enjoy reading about your, uh, exploits," she smiles flirtily.

 

"Glad to hear it. I think," Bruce adds hastily, blushing slightly. "Have you been in Paris long, Ms Knight?" he asks.

 

"Since I was a little girl," she replies, as she strokes her hand across his palm. "You know, the Knights have been donating to Haley's Circus for a number of years now, it's one of the few in the country that treats their staff and animals humanely. I was thinking, maybe if you-"

 

"Actually, Natalia, I was just about to ask-" Bruce interjects.

 

She looks up at him, her skin turning a shade darker. "Yes, Bruce?"

 

"Have you ever heard of The Monk?"

 

Natalia frowns, embarrassed, as she lets go of Bruce's arm. "Oh, I-"

 

"Sorry, did you think-?" Bruce inquires, sensing he's made a mistake.

 

"I, uh, no, it's not that. It's just-" she adds nervously, as she straps her handbag onto her shoulder

 

"Natalia! We should be going," a man interjects. He's dressed in a blue suit, a silver pocket watch hanging from his jacket. His black hair goes down to his shoulders, and is matched by a sharp goatee.

 

"... Yes, of course," she sighed, as she raised a hand out. "Bruce, my brother, Anton."

 

"Adopted," the man adds. "I'll see you in the car," he says sternly, placing a hand on Bruce's shoulder. "How do you know that name?" he murmurs angrily.

 

"The Monk?"

 

Knight applies pressure to Bruce's shoulder, and mutters in his ear, taking a look to ensure their conversation had gone unnoticed. "Not. So. Loud."

 

Bruce lowers his tone. "There's been a string of kidnappings in Gotham. I had... a source that says that the perpetrators were supplying them to this... Monk character."

 

"A source..." Knight scoffs, taking a suspicious glance at Bruce. "Isn't this a little below your paygrade, billionaire?"

 

Bruce glowered. "Missing children, Mr Knight? You must not know me that well."

 

"On the contrary- like my sister says, your exploits are well documented," he grumbles. As he brushes past him, Bruce grabs his shoulder, lowering his tone. "The Monk. Who is he?"

 

"Relax. Your. Grip." Anton sighs. "If he has your children... they're already dead. The lucky ones, that is."

 

"What the hell do you mean?" Bruce glares.

 

"You believe my sister's condition to be a simple pigmentation? The Monk sought out our family, and when we refused his... protection, he... he stuck his jaws around my baby sister's throat, and bit hard. He is not a man, Wayne. But a parasite, an undead monster. A wurdulac, what you would call-"

 

"A vampire," Bruce murmurs. "I don't believe in myths, Mr Knight."

 

"And yet..." Knight begins. "Men fly in your country, do they not?"

 

~

 

A few hours later, Bruce returned to the hotel room, a calm breeze filling the air. The window was open... 'Who?'

 

"I don't think much of your security-" a gruff voice begins. As Bruce raised his arm out, the figure, silhouetted by the moonlight, grabbed his fist, and slung him against the wall. "And your technique is sloppy."

He was over six foot, and built like a boar. A thick beard coated his chin, while a variety of scars marked the rest of his face. The stench of whisky followed him wherever he went, and his voice was utterly devoid of compassion, or of sympathy. "Hello, Wayne," he scoffed.

 

"Ducard..." Bruce groaned. "Here to start another war?"

 

"Please, Santa Prisca was a fail state long before I set foot on it," Ducard smirked, as he helped himself to some of Alfred's leftovers.

 

"But you didn't do it any favours, did you?" Bruce growled, as he folded his arms.

 

"I didn't come here to squabble, boy. I came because *this* time, our needs align. This Monk of yours goes by the name Niccolai Tepes. You want to find him, I suggest you start with his distribution system."

 

"And what exactly do *you* want with him?" Bruce grimaced. "Are you going to burn down another city?"

 

"What, you'd call that Biayalian slum a city?" Ducard laughed. "I have a client. That, is all you need to know."

 

"And if that client is going to hurt innocent people?" Bruce stood up.

 

"Unlikely. They're a brain-dead paraplegic."

 

As Alfred's key turns in the lock, Bruce turns around to find Ducard gone. 'One good trick...' he thought to himself.

 

"Master Bruce? Are you alright?" he asks, Bruce still looking out the window.

 

"Fine, Alfred," he murmured, as he absent mindedly put his hand into his coat pocket. "Just had a catch-up with Henri Ducard."

 

"What did that brute want with you?" Alfred said, a note of disgust in his voice.

 

"I don't know for sure, but he's also given me the only solid lead on the Monk I have-" Bruce begins, as he takes a small piece of card from out of his pocket.

 

"What is it?" Alfred asks.

 

Bruce smiled to himself. "Looks like a phone number, and a... Circus ticket. Heh, Natalia must've slipped it in when-" He paused.

 

"Master Bruce?"

 

"Alfred, when would Haley's Circus have last performed in Gotham?" Bruce asks, as he reaches into his suitcase.

 

"Last month, I'd have thought, why-?"

 

"Because," he begins, as he grabs his Batsuit. "That's how he's transporting those children."

 

=====Haley's Circus====

 

"God, you never told me they were children-" Haley begins, as he talks into the phone.

 

"Come now, ignorance, is not an excuse Mr Haley. We've got another shipment lined up for April," a voice rings out, a calm, almost charming one, yet, it was off. As though there were an undertone of malice dripping from each word.

 

"But you said that this Scarecrow-" Haley began, using one of his pamphlets to mop his brow.

 

"Scarecrow may be out of the picture, but, as our client gets... particularly hungry, we've had to make do. 30 kids, to make up for Crane's oversight."

 

Haley paused. He didn't want to, god, of course he didn't... But he knew what the alternative was.

 

"Thank you for understanding."

 

"I-" Haley started, as though he had a backbone for one brief second, and then- the illusion was shattered.

 

"Careful, Mr Haley. If you won't do it, we'll find someone who will, and then, you know who we'll have to send to, ah, clean house, as it were."

 

"I... I understand."

 

"Marvelous!" the voice finished. "I'll have one of my people contact you tomorrow with the details. Tah tah."

 

Outside, resting on a telegraph pole, a small boy watched Haley rest the phone on the table, and pour himself another scotch.

Gare de Lille-Flandres

La gare de Lille-Flandres est une gare ferroviaire française des lignes de Paris-Nord à Lille (quatre autres lignes s'y embranchent à Fives) et de Lille aux Fontinettes. C'est la gare principale de la ville de Lille, située en centre-ville, dans le département du Nord, en région Hauts-de-France.

Le terme Flandres est accolé à son nom en 1993, lors de l'ouverture de la gare voisine de Lille-Europe (située sur la LGV Nord). Ce choix est dû à sa situation en Flandre française.

Elle est mise en service en 1848 par la Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord. C'est une gare de la SNCF, desservie par des TGV, des InterCity belges et des trains régionaux (notamment TER Hauts-de-France). La gare de Lille-Flandres est la plus grande gare TER de France en dehors de Paris ; elle est également la seconde gare de province quant à la fréquentation, après la gare de Lyon-Part-Dieu.

 

Gare de Lille ex gare de Paris-Nord

Le nouveau bâtiment est construit en utilisant les pierres de la façade d'origine de l'édifice, dû à Léonce Reynaud, ouvert en 1846 pour l'« embarcadère » de la gare du Nord à Paris. Néanmoins, comme il n'était constitué que d'un rez-de-chaussée, la compagnie, pour satisfaire les Lillois, lui a fait ajouter un étage et un fronton avec une horloge, l'ensemble étant de style néo-classique. Les nouvelles installations, mises en service en 1867, donnent sur une place de la gare récemment créée en face du nouveau bâtiment.

À l'occasion de l'UEFA EURO 2016 (coupe d'Europe de football), une ligne spéciale a été créée pour délester le Tram C de l'afflux de supporters, malgré les renforts mis en place. Cette "Navette Stade" porte le numéro 18, et fait la liaison entre le Parc des Expositions (et Nouveau Stade) et la station Tram B "La Cité du Vin" (anciennement "Bassins à Flot"), pour une correspondance depuis/vers le Centre-Ville. Cette Navette est mise en place avant et après le match, pour répartir les mouvements sur 2 axes. Pour l'occasion, un large périmètre avait été bloqué à la circulation autour du Stade Matmut Atlantique pour faciliter la circulation des supporters et des bus, et un arrêt spécial a été aménagé parallèlement à la station de Tram. Une zone de stationnement était mise en place pendant le match pour les bus assurant la Navette sur les "Rue du Vergne" et "Avenue de la Jallère". Cette Navette a été pérennisée au sein de l'offre TBM pour les événements au Stade Matmut Atlantique.

Part of the pride that is at present exploiting the drought conditions afflicting most of the southern continent of Africa. Sleek and well fed it is a good time to be a lion.

Despite my best attempts to block every single attack thrown my way, the assailant gets lucky and manages to kick me in the chest. Cheap move. But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t smart. Given my current situation you’d be foolish to not try and exploit it. I just really wish he hadn’t done it like that. The kick to the chest knocks the breath out of me causing me to fall backwards. It’s only thanks to some sort of miracle that I manage to spin around and catch myself before I slam into the ground. Damn it. Come on Grayson, you’re better than this.

 

As I turn to face the assailant again, I can’t help but notice something yellow in the corner of my eye racing towards him. Has Barbra already dealt with her guy? How come she gets the easy one and I don’t?

 

————————————————-

 

No doubt Dick probably think I lucked out and somehow got the easier opponent to go up against. Oh who am I kidding? That thought is absolutely what’s racing through his head right this second. Whilst he does everything possible to reject the comparisons, in many ways he’s more like Bruce than he truly cares to admit. Although, I doubt Bruce has such concerns racing through his head. As far as he’s concerned, if you can’t best an opponent then the fault is your own.

 

It feels weird to agree with him so strongly on something.

 

As I quickly close the distance between myself and the two of them, I notice Dick briefly glance in my direction. Good. He knows I’m coming hopefully he can….

 

Before I have a chance to try and signal him to distract his opponent, the assailant notices Dick’s actions and turns to see me racing towards him. With reflexes as fast as Bruce’s, he raises turns his upper torso around to face me directly and quickly moves his blade to stop my staff before I have a chance to swing. Very clever.

 

The action prompts me to grind to a halt so as to not be unbalanced and thus expose myself to a counter attack. Unfortunately, his move was more than merely instinctive self-protection as the rest of his body turns so that he’s facing me head on. Now that really doesn’t sound like a serious problem, but what it achieves is giving him a firm footing to dig in and strike back. Definitely not something you want when you’re the one who launched the first attack.

 

I briefly glance behind me to see if I can successfully disengage and avoid the inevitable attempt to disarm me. My options aren’t very good. To my left is Dick on the ground, who I notice reaching for both of his escrima sticks, and to my right is the unconscious body of the guy I just knocked unconscious. Very poor choices.

 

With no clear direction that I can take to avoid the attack, all I can do is take it head on and hope that I’m able to resist it. Before I have a chance to brace, the follow up move comes and I manage to just block the strike. A second later and that would have probably damaged my suit’s’ armour plating. Whether or not it would have been enough to pierce is a different matter. After all, a key function of all our suits is that the chest area is the most armoured part of the suit. No doubt intended to protect most of the major organs from serious damage.

 

Whilst I’m able to successfully block the next two strikes this guy throws my way, the lack of options from which to step back make me a sitting target. Though I’m more than capable of blocking every move he makes against me, this fight won’t end if I’m forced to stay solely on defence. It’s then that I notice Dick steadily getting back on to his feet with both sticks in hand ready to make a move.

 

———————————

 

Barbra closes the gap between herself and the assailant in a matter of seconds. Somehow, just before she manages to launch her attack, he spots her and manages to narrowly block her strike. Did he see her because I was looking at her?

 

The pair quickly begin to clash weapons against one another as the assailant’s attention turns towards Barbra instead. Charming. Clearly I’m not good enough for him. But thankfully, Barbra’s distraction is just what I needed. I reach forward and grab hold of both my sticks, pausing only to make certain they weren’t damaged.

 

Nothing beyond a few extra scratch marks courtesy of this guy’s sword, thankfully.

 

As I climb back onto my feet, the sound of the guard’s sword colliding with Barbra’s staff echoes throughout the room as each strike follows the other in quick succession. It’s only then that I realise that just as he did with me, the assailant has forced Barbra onto the defensive with his continuous rapid attacks against her.

 

Why hasn’t she simply tried to disengage and readjust?

 

Her injury isn’t stopping her is it?

 

No wait. There’s nowhere for her to go. Her opponent lies unconscious behind her, and I was blocking her from dodging in the opposite direction. Damn it. I’ve put her in danger again. That means I have to be the one to get her out of it.

 

Without saying a word, I lunge forward with both sticks at the ready and charge the guard. Keep him distracted Barb, I’ve got him.

According to one United Nations estimate, 113 to 200 million women are “demographically missing” from the world today. That is to say, there should be 113 to 200 million more women walking the earth, who aren’t. By that same estimate, 1.5 to 3 million women and girls lose their lives every year because of gender-based neglect or gender-based violence and Sexual Violence in Conflict ( Read more about UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict www.stoprapenow.org/ ). We can point a finger at poverty. But poverty alone does not result in these women’s deaths; the blame also falls on the social system and attitudes of the societies.

 

India alone accounts for more than 50 million of the women who are “missing” due to female foeticide - the sex-selective abortion of girls, dowry death, gender-based neglect and all forms of violence against women.

 

Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into being, sex selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror in India. Experts are calling it "sanitized barbarism".The 2001 Census conducted by Government of India, showed a sharp decline in the child sex ratio in 80% districts of India. The Census Report of 2001 reveals a highly skewed child sex ratio (0-6 year-olds), that fell from 945 females per 1,000 males in 1991 to an all-time low of 927 in 2001. The ratio even dropped further to 800:1,000 in some specific parts of the country. Additional data from the India’s birth and death registration service indicates that the figures have further fallen to fewer than 900 females per 1,000 men over the last few years.

Citadelle Royale du pays de Saintonge.

 

Commune de Hiers-Brouage, Charente maritime

 

Le port de Brouage fut construit au milieu du XVIème siècle afin de commercialiser le sel produit dans les marais salants situés autour du village de Hiers.

 

Brouage deviendra sous Louis XIV l'un des plus important port pour l'approvisionnement du sel, "l'or blanc", de toute l'Europe.

 

Place stratégique de la région, la citadelle sera fortifiée et agrandie par plusieurs grands ingénieurs du royaume de France dont le célèbre Vauban.

 

Aujourd'hui, la mer s'est retirée à une dizaine de km et le port est fermé.

 

Les marais salants ont été remplacés par de nombreuses exploitations ostréicoles.

  

BROUAGE, oyster farms

 

Charente maritime, la France.

 

The port of Brouage was built in the middle of the sixteenth century to market the salt produced in salt marshes around the village of Hiers.

 

Brouage will become under Louis XIV one of the most important port for the supply of salt, "white gold", from all over Europe.

 

Strategic place of the region, the citadel will be fortified and enlarged by several great engineers of the kingdom of France including the famous Vauban.

 

Today, the sea has withdrawn to about ten km and the port is closed.

 

The salt marshes have been replaced by many oyster farms.

Noisy and gregarious, these cheerful exploiters of man's rubbish and wastefulness have managed to colonise most of the world. The ultimate avian opportunist perhaps. Monitoring suggests a severe decline in the UK house sparrow population, recently estimated as dropping by 71 per cent between 1977 and 2008 with substantial declines in both rural and urban populations. While the decline in England continues, Breeding Bird Survey data indicate recent population increases in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The House Sparrow is a small but sturdily built bird with a stout bill designed for eating seeds. Adult males are distinctive; the crown and nape are grey and only the sides of the head are brown. The black bib is wide and extends down onto the chest. The back is warm brown, streaked with black but with a few white wing feathers. Adult females and juvenile birds of both sexes are typically sandy brown in colour with brown and grey streaks on the back and wings.

 

Although adults will feed themselves on wide range of seeds, they need to find plenty of aphids and small caterpillars for their growing youngsters, especially in the first few days after hatching.

 

House Sparrows like to nest colonially, so one box on its own is unlikely to attract a breeding pair. They may nest in hedges and in climbing plants – but this does not mean that they are Hedge Sparrows or Tree Sparrows!

 

House Sparrows are red-listed birds of conservation concern.

 

Small nest box with hole (32mm)

Nest height: over 2m above ground

The nest is an untidy domed structure made of grasses, lined with feathers, hair and wool

Egg laying starts between mid March and early August. Up to four broods

4 to 5 eggs. White or pale blue with darker spots

Incubation time: 13 -15 days

Nestlings fledge after 15-17 days
