The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale that was published by Lévy Fils et Cie of Paris, with photography by Charles Ledieu of Arras. The card has a divided back.
The shelters in the photograph would provide little if any protection from a large-calibre artillery shell.
Abba Eban
"History teaches us that men and
nations behave wisely when they
have exhausted all other alternatives".
This was said during a speech in London UK on 16th. December 1970 by Abba Eban (1915-2002), an Israeli diplomat and writer.
Visé Paris No. 2857
The card bears the imprimatur 'Visé Paris' followed by a unique reference number. This means that the image was inspected and deemed by the military authorities in the French capital not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' indicates that the card was published during or soon after the Great War.
Marœuil
Marœuil is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department, Arrondissement Arras, in the Hauts-de-France region of France.
Marœuil is a large farming and light industrial village situated 4 miles (6 km) northwest of Arras.
The village was first recorded as Maraculum around 680, then as Maroel in 1104, Maroeul in 1307, and finally as Marœuil in 1670.
A church was first built here by St.-Bertille around the year 697. The village's population in 2017 was 2,464.
There are two Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries near Marœuil.
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
With an average length of two feet, that number of shells if laid end to end would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres). That's over two and a half times round the Earth. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'

Who Is Believer? Where They Reside? Are They Really?
My Dear Reverend Friends
Greetings
Will COP21 Answer ---Killing, Shooting, Looting, Migrating ----Terroring? Drought, Disaster, Hunger? Dignity, Rights, Peace, Justice, Equality? sasrai.com/cop21-have-or-have-not
First of all question may come
Do we really demand solution?
If so who should be the main actor?
Do the power holders agree to sacrifice their facilities and comfort?
Do the property holders reduce their consumption?
Do the corporate owners agreed to avoid unfair or environment and health hazardous profit making?
Do we all agree to feel proud with less consumption, less property owner, less salaried?
Do we dare to declare that Poorest are most Prestigious Person as she/he is exploiting nature less? I think this is the first step for the `Cultural Revolution’.
The Holy Father makes an urgent appeal to protect “our common home,” to People of all faiths and no faith. And he prescribes bringing “the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development”. Here, he advances the “worldwide ecological movement”, urges for `cultural revolution’.
I like to draw your attention to my thinking that could be described following point.
Who is believer or people of faith? Have we seen someone ignore undue profit, favor, facility, possession being a member of `people of faith’? Present life has become full of Lying, Cheating, Crooking, Deceiving, Exploiting, Flattering, Fornicating etc that breed Tsunami, Cyclone, Drought, Deluge that breed Crop, Deployment loss that breed Rootless, Homeless, Trafficking, Migrant that breed Killing.
There was a wise saying “Greed begets Sin, Sin begets Death” is not a assumption today. Now it’s a scientific truth. But who cares? Each one is running after Profit, Possession and Purchase. No matter someone dying or living, earth on the verge of doomsday.
Why earth community define them believer? Is it just or unjust? If we earth community define someone believer, she/he who acts like a nonbeliever it cannot be justice. Rather it will be an act of corruption promotion.
What are the Characteristics of the believer? Is there any set of indicators regarding believers doing, acting, living, consuming, purchasing, possessing etc. Do we need to declare and publish those again publicly? Does the mass people should specially the children should know clearly how they could be identified as believer or nonbeliever?
Who can certify someone as believer? Is it person him/herself or her/his community or her/his activity? Person declaring him/her believer could be a believer? Is it fair judgment?
Why someone should take them as believer? Based on someone’s saying/statement could we taken him/her as believer? There must be a system to be taken as someone as believer or nonbeliever. Could we establish the system? If not why we should go for classification? Each one is same.
Do the believers can do anything for own profit? I am not sure what the answer is. Unfortunately my observation, learning is people declared rich, big property occupant has little care for others rights, survival. Those rich are profiteer and never ashamed to be the owner of big property keeping other homeless, food less.
Do the believers can do anything for her/his Job Provider? May be person in believe shall say that someone cannot do anything in favor increasing the profit margin of her/his service provider. But what is practice. Person deployed in any firm do everything that increase the profit of the firm no matter that harm environment, ecology, humanity etc. If someone fails to follow the rule she/he will loose job.
Doesn’t the Consumption and Possession Addiction Dominate on the Faith? I am not sure how many corporate owners declared themselves as person of no faith or nonbeliever. But I am sure their employee never think other than the profit margin of the firm. They do earn more and more in exchange of values, belief, ethics, morality, civility or whatever a person obey or compelled to obey being a believer. In the same time they never feel guilty to those unwise, unethical, immoral actions. They believe this is her/his duty to do continue the job. The most highly educated person serving illegal profit her/his own job, comfort. This is also true they got educated by poorer tax and serve the rich to make undue profit.
Accordingly those corporate owners also distribute the preaching to their staffs and mass people sometimes to the students `never tell a lie’ `speak the truth’ `be sincere to your duty’ etc. They quote several preacher and scripture. They only provide advice or preaching but they never follow it. They completely for gotten service to nation,, nature, humanity etc. They got only one motto earn more and more, possess more and more. Sometimes comes to with some charity from which lion portion goes to the highly privileged class.
Unfortunately I am not clear why we should classified person of faith or no faith, believer or nonbeliever. Please be kind to make me clear.

Valkenburg: Kasteel Schaloen - Landscape Photography
Kasteel Schaloen (Est. 1381), a castle in Oud-Valkenburg in the South Limburg municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul. After a long history of destruction, fire and ongoing reconstruction, it was finally restored in 1894 by architect Pierre Cuypers in neo-gothic style with an attached western tower, stair tower to the front and raised ark turrets. The castle is surrounded by a moat and has an adjacent gatehouse with access gate. Together with the estate, a national monument.and a particularly beautiful location in the Geuldal.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Les Éditions d'Art Yvon of 15, Rue Martel, Paris. The card was produced in France.
On the back of the card, someone has written the date on which they presumably visited this location:
"10/6/44".
Bayeux
The buildings in Bayeux were virtually untouched during the Battle of Normandy, the German forces being fully involved in defending Caen from the Allies.
The Bayeux War Cemetery with its memorial includes the largest British cemetery dating from the Second World War in France. There are 4,648 graves, including 3,935 British and 466 Germans. Most of those buried there were killed in the invasion of Normandy.
Bayeux Cathedral
The Norman-Romanesque Cathedral was consecrated on Friday the 14th. July 1077 in the presence of William, Duke of Normandy. The chapter house was added in the 12th century, and the chapels were built in the 14th century.
An octagonal storey, decorated with open-work, was added to the lantern-tower in the 15th century, and finally a stone dome was built in the 18th. century.
The nave is 24 m high and 96 m long.
The Bayeux Tapestry
The Cathedral was the original home of the Bayeux tapestry which was first referred to in writing in 1476. The tapestry is 50 cm wide by 70 metres long (20 inches by 230 feet), and it illustrates the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England, as well as the events of the invasion itself. It is not a true tapestry, because the design is not woven into the fabric of the cloth - it is in fact an embroidery.
The tapestry is now housed nearby at the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux which is at the Centre Guillaume le Conquérant.
A video presentation and series of displays explain how the tapestry was sewn. It still looks fresh and new - it it difficult to believe that it was completed over 900 years ago. Nevertheless, despite its new appearance, at least two of the panels are known to be missing.
There is also a Victorian replica of the tapestry in Reading UK. Each of the embroiderers stitched her name beneath her completed panel.
Halley's Comet
The tapestry includes an image of Halley's Comet, shown as a firey star. Modern astronomy tells us that the comet would have been visible from the 20th March 1066. On that occasion the comet came to within 0.10 Astronomical Units of the earth (about 15 million kilometres).
The next appearance of Halley's Comet will be on the 28th. July 2061. Many of us won't be around to see it, but this beautiful cathedral will still be there.
The Oradour-sur-Glane Massacre
So what else happened on Saturday the 10th. June 1944?
Well, on that day a Waffen-SS company carried out the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre in France, killing 642 residents of the village of Oradour-sur-Glane.
The Distomo Massacre
Also on that day, Waffen-SS forces in Greece carried out the Distomo massacre, killing a total of 214 residents of the village of Distomo in retaliation for a partisan attack upon the unit.
A collaboration of artists, organised and directed by Zeptonn.

VASCO Live Kom 013: l'attesa è finita, è ufficiale!
Nessuno credeva che Vasco avrebbe mai potuto abbandonare i suoi fan. E nessuno, o per lo meno pochi, quindi, aveva potuto realmente credere all’addio al palcoscenico di ormai due anni fa. E così, dopo questa lunga interminabile attesa, il cantante di Zocca torna a calcare le scene.
Dal canto suo Vasco si mostra su Facebook in perfetta forma fisica durante gli “odiati quanto faticosi” allenamenti a cui da anni si sottopone prima di affrontare un Tour.
Il concerto si compone di 22 brani + un medley di brani storici, oltre due ore di musica per uno show tirato, non dà tregua. Il concerto si apre con l’ironia de “L’uomo più semplice” e prosegue in crescendo. La scaletta, fondamentalmente la stessa del tour 2011, è attualizzata con brani del calibro di “Stupendo”, “Gli spari sopra”, “Delusa”, “C’è chi dice no”, “Mi si escludeva”, che sembrano scritti oggi.
Novità anche per il palco, rock stage caratterizzato da 3 triangoli (il triangolo è il simbolo di Vasco.). Il fronte palco misura 70,5 metri con un boccascena di 25 metri e una profondità di 21, a cui si aggiungono 13 metri di passerella. Nel suo insieme il palco consente di avere una superficie calpestabile di 740 mq.
Due gli schermi laterali di 11,2 x 6,9 metri per un totale di 155 mq di led. Ai lati 4 grafiche per un totale di 645 mq di tulle stampato.

Kevin Lee, one of Australia's smartest property investors recently published an article with Smart Property Investment Magazine.
The article reads:
All too often people purchase a property in what they perceive as a quality, or affluent area, because of their own prejudices.
A classic mistake is to purchase an investment property based on an impressive sounding address, rather than the basic fundamentals of investment. I've seen people pay a premium for an investment property in a 'sexy' sounding area where the rental yield is as low as 2.5% on the premise that they're "entitled" to capital growth.... just because they signed a contract.
People who make ego driven decisions usually do so to impress their friends & family, or because they mistakenly believe they’ll achieve better capital growth. Generally speaking these types of properties usually end up being massively negatively geared. It’s not a smart strategy and I believe it’s the underlying reason why so many Australians own only one investment property.
Property investors would do well to ‘leave their ego at home’ when looking to purchase their next property – and in doing so would be able to fund a growing portfolio in the space of only a few years. A smarter way to invest is to focus on affordability.
