The Biz'art populaire association is preparing a photo exhibition in the garden Raymond VI in Toulouse. This will be an opportunity to discover pictures from Olivier Mériel, Yvon Lambert and Paolo Pellegrin (!).
A parallel event is organized by SFR and they have selected four pictures of mine. This second exhibition will take place at the Bellegarde cultural center from september 14th to october 20th.

My daughter Maya (the photo above) has lost one of her very best girl-friends in a
tragic accident last sunday. There are just no words to describe our sorrow.
We are thankful for the traces of love and happiness Ina Simone has left in our lives.

København (ship)
København was a Danish five-masted barque used as a naval training vessel until its disappearance after December 22, 1928.
Built by the Danish East Asiatic Company in 1921, it was the world's largest sailing ship at the time, and primarily
served for sail training of young cadets.
The København was last heard from on December 21, 1928 while en route from Buenos Aires to Australia. When it became clear
the ship was missing, a lengthy search ensued, but turned up no trace. The disappearance has become one of the greatest
maritime mysteries of the modern era, and led to much speculation about the ship's ultimate fate.
Description
The København was built by the firm of Ramage and Fergusson at Leith in Scotland (number 242), begun in 1913 but not
completed until March 24, 1921. It was constructed for the Danish East Asiatic Company as a sail training ship. Known as
the "Big Dane", it was the largest sailing ship in the world when completed. It was 430 feet long and grossed 3,965 tons;
its five masts stood nearly 20 stories high with sails spanning a total of 56,000 square feet. It had an auxiliary diesel
motor as well as a wireless transmitter. The figurehead was a carving of a helmeted Bishop Absalon.
Primarily intended for training young cadets seeking an officer's license, the ship offset some of its costs by carrying
limit amounts of cargo on its voyages. Baron Nils Juel-Brockdorff oversaw the ship's construction and subsequently served
as its first captain. From 1921 to 1928 the ship made nine voyages, visiting nearly every continent and completing two
circumnavigations.
Disappearance
On September 21, 1928, the København departed from Nørresundby in Northern Jutland for Buenos Aires on its tenth, and
ultimately final, voyage. The captain was Hans Andersen; 75 persons were aboard, including 26 crew and 45 cadets. The goal
was to unload a shipload of chalk and bagged cement in Buenos Aires, take on another load of cargo and sail for Melbourne,
and then bring a shipment of Australian wheat back to Europe.
The København arrived at Buenos Aires on November 17, 1928, impressing the locals, in particular emigrant Danes. The cargo
was unloaded, however departure was delayed as there were no paying commissions to take cargo to Australia. Finally, on
December 14, Captain Anderson decided to ship out for Australia without a cargo. The voyage was expected to take 45 days.
On December 22 the København exchanged messages with the Norwegian steamer William Blumer, indicating they were about 900
miles from Tristan da Cunha and that "all is well". The Blumer attempted to contact the København again later that night,
to no avail. The ship was never heard from again.
Search and legacy
Due to the length of the voyage to Australia, and the fact that Anderson routinely went long periods without sending a
message, the Danish were not initially worried. However, concern mounted as months passed without word. In April 1929 the
Danish East Asiatic Company dispatched a motor vessel, the Mexico, to Tristan da Cunha. Residents reported having seen a
large five-masted ship with its foremast broken on January 21, 1929; however it had not attempted to come to the island.
The Mexico, joined by the British Royal Navy, searched for the København for several months, but found no sign. The Danish
government declared the ship and its crew were lost at sea.
A number of theories for the København's disappearance have been advanced. The most commonly accepted is that the ship
struck an iceberg in the dark or fog. If so, the ship may have sunk too quickly for the crew to react. The lack of
wreckage found later may have been the result of the ship's particularly secure loading and rigging, a necessity against
the strong winds known as the Roaring Forties. An alternate theory is that the ship, which was in ballast with no cargo,
may have been capsized by heavy winds, disabling the lifeboats for survivors.
For the next two years after the København's disappearance there were a number of sightings of a mysterious five-masted
ship fitting its description in the Pacific, fueling further speculation about the vessel. Early reports came from Chilean
fisherman, then in July 1930, the crew of an Argentine freighter sighted a five-masted "phantom ship" during a gale. The
captain took their statements and wondered if this was the "wraith of the Copenhagen". Further sightings came in the
following weeks from Easter Island and the Peruvian coast. Later some wreckage, including a piece of stern bearing the
name "København", reportedly was found off West Australia.
Tentative evidence for the ship continued to emerge. In 1934 The New York Times reported that a København cadet's diary
had been found in a bottle on Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic. The supposed diary indicated that the ship had been
destroyed by icebergs and abandoned, the crew taking their chances in lifeboats.[1] In 1935, human remains and the remains
of a lifeboat were found partly buried in the sand along the southwest coast of Africa. These may have come from
København.

The Neanderthal Museum is a museum in Mettmann, Germany. It was established in 1996. Located at the site of the first Neanderthal man discovery in the Neandertal, it features an exhibit centered on human evolution. The museum was constructed in 1996 to a design by the architects Zamp Kelp, Julius Krauss and Arno Brandlhuber and draws about 170,000 visitors per year. The museum also includes an archaeological park on the original discovery site, a Stone Age workshop, as well as an art trail named "human traces". All signs in the museum as well as the audio guide offered by the museum are available in German and English.

Trace decay theory explains memories that are stored in both short term and long term memory system. According to this theory, short term memory (STM) can only retain information for a limited amount of time, around 15 to 30 seconds unless it is rehearsed. If it is not rehearsed, the information will start to gradually fade away and decay.
