Jockey Club Innovation Tower is a building of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It was designed by Pritzker-prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innovation_Tower)
The Jockey Club Innovation Tower is home to Hong Kong Polytechnic University 's School of Design and is the new driving force in the development of Hong Kong as a design hub in Asia… It has 15,000 square metres of net floor area and can accommodate about 1,800 staff and students… “The fluid character of the Innovation Tower is generated through an intrinsic composition of its landscape, floor plates and louvers that dissolves the classic typology of the tower and the podium into an iconic seamless piece. These fluid internal and external courtyards create new public spaces of an intimate scale which complement the large open exhibition forums and outdoor recreational facilities to promote a diversity of civic spaces.” - Zaha Hadid, Architect, Innovation Tower (www.sd.polyu.edu.hk/en/j.c.-innovation-tower/the-architec...)
An entrepreneur has come up with these boxes to prevent porch pirates... This one block in Bed Stuy had four of them (three in this picture). Not nearly as ubiquitous as the "Red Claw" steering wheel locks of the 1990s, but definitely a presence. And in an age where people make more use of online shopping and maybe even getting medicine through the post, it makes sense.

Not sure about this. Never seen such a kitt on a Hyundai before. Perhaps it called Galloper just like in the Netherlands. But only a badge with a horse was at the car.
Platform 6 at Purley station has recently gained three posters celebrating people who had local connections to Purley and Croydon. The posters are titled 'Welcome to Purley, Croydon', 'Innovate' and 'Inspire' and celebrate Amy Johnson, Samuel Coleride-Taylor and William Jessop.
The artworks were commissioned by Purley Business Improvement District and were made by local artists Kevin Zuchowski-Morrison, Dan Cimmermann and Morgan Davy.
Amy Johnson achieved worldwide recognition when, on 5th May 1930, she became the first woman to fly solo from the now closed Croydon Airport to Australia. Flying G-AAAH Jason, she landed at Darwin, Northern Territory on 24 May.
The composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was brought up in Croydon. He studied at the Royal College of Music. After completing his degree, Taylor became a professional musician, soon being appointed a professor at the Crystal Palace School of Music; and conducting the orchestra at the Croydon Conservatoire.
In 1801 Civil Engineer William Jessop was appointed Chief Engineer of the horse drawn Surrey Iron Railway from Wandsworth to Croydon. In 1803 the next phase of tramway was authorised south from Croydon towards Merstham and Godstone. Jessop was again appointed Chief Engineer. The line reached Mestham but was never continued to Godstone.

The Château de La Ferté-Imbault (Loir-et-Cher) is a stately home in the Loire Valley, France. A fortress of the Middle Ages rebuilt during the Renaissance, it is the largest brick château in Sologne, and one of the oldest. It was the family seat of the House of d'Estampes for four centuries.
The seigneurie (lordship) of La Ferté-Imbault was the largest in the south of Sologne, whose lands included the parishes of Salbris, Saint-Genou (now Selles-Saint-Denis), Marcilly, Loreux and Souesmes. It comprised more than one hundred farms spread over tens of thousands of hectares, stretching from Loreux to Souesmes and from Saint-Viâtre to Theillay.
The château is a large "rectangular building, with large and fine windows, and flanked by four towers ; shrubberies and alleys of mature trees lend an air of grandeur and poetry that strikes both the heart and the imagination". Its position "is quite pleasant and joyful, in a place where the Sauldre divides into several channels ... The red turrets of the château rise amid these waters and this greenery, and crown marvellously the rich picture".
Traces of Roman occupation were found on the site of the present château.
The first medieval fortress was built around 980 by Humbold (or Humbault) Le Tortu, Seigneur de Vierzon and son-in-law of Thibault, comte de Blois. The foundations of the two main towers remain to this day, as does the old armoury. The nearby Sauldre feeds the moat. Hervé I, lord at Vierzon, a descendant of Humbold, on his return from the Crusades, had a collegiate church built in honor of Saint Taurinus. This church and the need to supply the fortress favored the emergence of the village of La Ferté-Imbault around it. In 1280 Jeanne de Vierzon, heiress to the lands of La Ferté-Imbault, married Godfrey of Brabant, comte d'Aerschot, son of Henry III, Duke of Brabant and Adelaide of Burgundy, Duchess of Brabant.
Godfrey of Brabant was the brother-in-law of the King of France, Philip III the Bold. His daughter, Alix de Brabant, married Jean III d'Harcourt in 1302. His marriage to the rich heiress Alix de Brabant, which brought him the seigneurie of La Ferté-Imbault, made him a close relative of Henry III, Duke of Brabant and the kings of France, as Alix was also the niece of the queen of France, Marie de Brabant.
The son of Jean III d'Harcourt and Alix de Brabant, Jean IV, first comte d'Harcourt, married Isabeau de Parthenay. Their son Guillaume d'Harcourt was the seigneur of La Ferté-Imbault. From his marriage to Blanche de Bray, Dame de Cernon, he had one daughter, Jeanne d'Harcourt, Dame de La Ferté-Imbault, who married Hugues de Montmorency. Their sons, Louis and Antoine, died at the Battle of Agincourt (1415) and the Battle of Verneuil (1424) respectively. Their sister, Catherine de Montmorency, inherited the vast estate of La Ferté-Imbault after the deaths of her two brothers.
During the Hundred Years' War, the castle and village were taken and destroyed by the troops of Edward the Black Prince. After belonging for several uninterrupted centuries to the dynasty of Humbold Le Tortu, Seigneur of Vierzon, by the alliance of the families of Brabant, Harcourt and Montmorency, the estate was sold by Catherine de Montmorency to Robert II d'Estampes, Seigneur de Valençay, in 1424. Joan of Arc stayed at La Ferté-Imbault on March 4, 1429.
The castle was rebuilt during the Renaissance. Royal power was present nearby in Blois, and Francis I of France came from neighboring Romorantin.
Partially destroyed by a fire in 1562 during the Wars of Religion, the castle was rebuilt and enlarged by the addition of two residential wings and a large outbuilding in the early seventeenth century by Jacques d'Estampes, marquis de Mauny, the richest landlord of the region, and the grandson of Guillaume de Hautemer, the duc de Grancey, better known as the Maréchal de Fervaques. (Stendhal used this name for one of the characters in The Red and the Black). Jacques d'Estampes, head of the House of d'Estampes, was also the first marquis of La Ferté-Imbault. His eldest son was the Seigneur de Salbris.
Born in the reign of Henry IV, the marquis de La Ferté-Imbault died in the reign of Louis XIV, after fighting alongside Louis XIII, whose bust still adorns the former guardhouse of the château. He was ambassador to England from 1641 to 1643, lieutenant-general of Orléanais, Vendômois and Dunois in 1645, and marshal of France in 1651. Louis XIV made him a knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit in 1661. His friendship with Gaston, Duke of Orléans, brother of Louis XIII (Monsieur, the King's brother), was flawless throughout his life; as a lieutenant of the company of gendarmes of the Duc d'Orléans, in 1620 he had a huge outbuilding constructed at the Château de La Ferté-Imbault to accommodate his company. His wife, Catherine-Blanche of Choiseul (whose godfathers were Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully and the Prince of Rohan and whose father was Charles de Choiseul, marquis de Praslin, advisor to Marie de' Medici, one of the most remarkable men of the end of the sixteenth century), was first lady-in-waiting to la Duchesse d'Orléans.
The château had its apogee in the Grand Siècle. The hearts of the Maréchal d'Estampes and his wife, Madame la Marquise d'Estampes de la Ferté-Imbault, remain at La Ferté-Imbault in the chapel of Saint-Taurinus, under an epitaph. A full-length portrait of the Maréchal d'Estampes de La Ferté-Imbault was painted in 1835 by Jean-Léonard Lugardon for King Louis-Philippe. It hangs in the sixth hall of the marshals, in the Musée de l'Histoire de France at the Palace of Versailles.
In the eighteenth century, the Prince Regent, Philippe II, Duke of Orléans renamed the regiment of Chartres-Infantry the La Ferté-Imbault regiment.
In 1743, King Louis XV acquired the marquisate of La Ferte-Imbault for his mistress, Madame de La Tournelle, on whom he wanted to confer a prestigious title in order to present her to the court. Madame de La Tournelle eventually became Duchesse de Châteauroux.
The last marquise de La Ferté-Imbault was Marie-Thérèse Geoffrin d'Estampes, daughter of the illustrious Madame Geoffrin, whose literary salon in the rue Saint-Honoré was famed throughout Europe and as far away as Russia, where the Empress Catherine II wrote to her as a friend. The marquise, whose magnificent portrait by Jean-Marc Nattier is exhibited at the Fuji Art Museum in Tokyo, enjoyed La Ferté for "the freshness of large chestnut trees that extend their shade". Her presence was requested in Versailles; Louis XV asked her to teach philosophy to his granddaughters, the princesses Elisabeth and Clotilde de France (sisters of the Duc de Berry, future Louis XVI), on the recommendation of the governess of the Enfants de France, Marie Louise de Rohan, comtesse de Marsan. She also gave Madame de Marsan scripts for skits performed by the princesses for the Dauphin and the Dauphine Marie Antoinette. Madame de La Ferté-Imbault was invited to the coronation of Louis XVI in Reims on June 11, 1775.
Madame de La Ferté-Imbault was clever, recognized for her culture and moral qualities. A woman of letters, she regularly attended her mother's salon along with most of the great minds of the Enlightenment: Denis Diderot, Voltaire, Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle, Montesquieu her tutor, and Jean le Rond d'Alembert. She never remarried despite her early widowhood and several marriage proposals, including one from Stanisław Leszczyński, King of Poland, father of the Queen of France Marie Leszczyńska, who called the marquise "my Imbault".
Queen of the "Sublime Order of Lanturelus", she resisted the intrigues of the court and won the friendship of the royal family (including Madame Elizabeth, who wrote to her, "You must love, said a princess. I go further, for I love you, Imbault, and I defy my critics and my rivals to find anything to say against my tenderness", and Louis Joseph de Bourbon, Prince de Condé, who invited her to Chantilly and always sought her advice, help and consolation) courtiers and favorites like the Marquise de Pompadour, who was her friend.
In the French Revolution the House of d'Estampes fell, and the Château de La Ferté-Imbault lost influence. The surrounding village was annexed to the neighboring town of Selles-Saint-Denis. The two wings of the château were torn down. The marquis de Pierrecourt, son of Sophie d'Estampes, owner of the château, was imprisoned during the Reign of Terror but later released. He sold the estate in 1807 to the Comte de Belmont, whose widow sold it in 1819 to the comtesse de Grandeffe, Marie-Louise de Poix.
In May 1824, a rich English family, the Lee-Kirbys from Leeds, acquired the estate of La Ferté-Imbault and moved into the château. They modernized local agriculture by adopting English innovations (forage plants and improving crops, such as clover and alfalfa) in their many farms, spread over 5,000 hectares. This foreign family was unappreciated in the village. In the Revolution of 1830, the people of La Ferté-Imbault invaded the château armed with pitchforks and spades, and sought to lynch the fleeing owner. The Protestant family's forceful proselytism led to serious opposition in the village community throughout the nineteenth century, as in 1868 during the construction of the new parish church of Saint-Taurinus, built in front of the main entrance to the château.[5] When William Lee died in 1853, his nephew and niece inherited the estate of La Ferté-Imbault and the estate was divided into two parts, the Sauldre forming the boundary. Mary-Ann Kirby received the château and part of the farms on 3,500 hectares, while Edward Howarth, her brother, received other farms and the area of La Place on the right bank of the river (on which a new château was built between 1880 and 1883), for a total surface of 1,500 hectares.
The village regained its administrative independence in 1860 but faced financial problems. The former collegiate church near the château was destroyed.
The château, whose land was significantly reduced after 1872 to a little over 1,100 hectares, was bought by the Comte Fresson. His niece, Marie Say, one of the richest heiresses of France and owner of the Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire, married Prince Amédée de Broglie, then Louis-Ferdinand d'Orléans-Bourbon, Infante of Spain. Many trips were undertaken between the two châteaux. The park, of about 50 hectares, was surrounded at that time by a brick wall.
The Château de la Ferté-Imbault, sold in 1900 to Dr. Georges Bouilly, then to Henry-René Bertrand, was seized by the Kommandantur on June 17, 1940, and saw four years of German occupation. The building suffered extensive damage in a bombing raid on May 8, 1944.
In August 1960, a "sound and light" show tracing its millennial history was organized in the castle with the voices of actors Madeleine Sologne and André Le Gall.[7] It has since been sold to new private owners but is open to visitors during the summer.
INNOVATION
One might be forgiven in thinking that diesel and electric traction first appeared on Britain's railways in the 1950s, after all it was the Modernisation Plan of 1955 which ushered in the era of diesel multiple units (D.M.Us.) along with diesel and electric locomotives which were intended to replace steam. But one would be wrong. Even before World War Two the Southern Railway (S.R.) had electrified some of its system in South-East England such that even the famous Brighton Belle was electric powered from 1933. The London Midland and Scottish Railway (L.M.S.) had diesel shunters in the 1930s and in 1947, in one of its last acts before nationalisation, introduced two diesel express locomotives numbered 10000 and 10001
The Great Western Railway (G.W.R.) began experimenting with diesel railcars in 1933 some of which found their way onto the West Midlands system. Originally resplendent in G.W.R. colours of 'Chocolate and Cream' they were, following nationalisation, converted to carmine (red) and cream. Unit W14W, shown here at Dudley, will have travelled from Birmingham Snow Hill via the main Wolverhampton Low Level line before diverging at Swan Village. Such units also used to run along the entire length of the Seven Valley line from Shrewsbury to Kidderminster before, in truncated form it become a heritage railway. Strange perhaps that they had all gone by the time dieselization had got under way in earnest. They were ahead of their time. They didn’t need to be shunted to the opposite end of a set of coaches to make a return trip or turned on a turntable, the driver just got off his cab at one end of the unit and drove back from the cab at the other end. So simple,why wasn't it thought of before? It was, in 1933.
