    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

    OUR HISTORY & VISION An idea born in the legendary resort of sunny Crans Montana known for its history of being the first Swiss ski school, home to the Omega European Golf Masters, its vistas and its natural beauty, we bring you Urban Arts at 1500m- 3000m. Europe’s highest open air urban / contemporary art museum. Founded by Gregory Pages in 2015 in participation with Crans Montana Absolutely, our aim and slogan is « Taking Urban Art To New Heights ». We are not your regular art festival, voted by High snobiety as ”one of the eight best cities for graffiti that are off the beaten path”. A one-of-a-kind blend between nature and art in the astonishing Swiss Alps. It all began with the founder's simple question.: Why not ask artists to express themselves on the bleak grey concrete surfaces of cable car stations, parking lots and other various empty and abandoned walls? Year-round Crans Montana has inspired writers, painters and musicians dating back to the 18th century due to its tranquility and beauty. Created in 2015, Vision Art Festival has seen 4 editions and the creation of more than 63 murals by international artists. WE ARE VISION ART FESTIVAL! Edition 2018 took place from August 17 to 26. SERVAL (SWITZERLAND) https://www.instagram.com/serval77 « Study After Ferdinand Hodler » The inspiration for this mural is based on the famous painting by Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler, « L’étang long » painted in 1913 in Montana, somehow a tribute to the artist for the centenary of his death. As an illustrator, Serval has been painting since the beginning of the nineties.

  • Learning Programme Resource Pack
    learning programme resource pack Created by: Principal Partner: Welcome! At Break, we are dedicated to making life better for children and young people across East Anglia. We work tirelessly to provide care, support, and a brighter future for the young people who need us, for as long as they need us, and we are committed to opening the door to brighter tomorrows. With children’s homes across East Anglia, a centre for families in crisis, and services for children with disabilities and their families, Break’s work enables members of our community to look to the future with hope. Break’s fundraising is bold and creative – our trilogy of GoGo public art trails being a stand- out representation of our upbeat and positive attitude. Working with Wild in Art, the trails have consisted of animal sculptures which are sponsored by local businesses, who then commission artists to transform them into incredible works of art. After being displayed on the streets, the sculptures are sold at auction. There was GoGoGorillas! in 2013, GoGoDragons! in 2015, and GoGoHares! in 2018 – all of which generated a huge buzz about Norwich and Norfolk, and in total raised over £1 million to change young lives. In 2020, it is Cambridge’s turn to host Break’s latest trail. Cows about Cambridge will feature up to 50 sculptures, providing an interactive trail for the public, a brilliant development opportunity for Cambridge businesses, and a fantastic way for local artists to get their work out there and on display. The Cows will brighten up Cambridge for 10 weeks next spring before being sold at auction with all proceeds going to Break.

He went from school to the First World War, where he became a captain in the Royal Welch Fusiliers. His principal calling is poetry, and his Selected Poems have been published in the Penguin Poets.

He has translated Apuleius, Lucan, and Svetonius for the Penguin Classics. He was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford in 1962. Contents Foreword Introduction I. The Pelasgian Creation Myth 2.

    RIKKI’S REFLECTIONS Happy Birthday Rikki’s page 6 If you're reading this, you're probably caught up in the movement to make our planet a better place. A better home for our animal friends. A more loving, kind and compassionate place. Every year, more and more of you are jumping on board. We're gaining momentum. We ARE making Meet the People a difference. When I started working in the rescue world about thirty years ago, the stats said 36 Who Change the World million unwanted cats and dogs were killed in the USA each and every year. The latest stats say 6 million. You know how fast these critters can breed - so if we weren't making a big difference page 7 the numbers would be gigantically hugely bigger. But it's 30 million less. Still 6 million too many, but if we could do that in 30 years, just you wait to see what we can do in the next thirty! Vincent Speaks It takes lots of great people to make this happen. I'd like you to meet some of the best. Our staff. The people who have dedicated their lives to making life wonderful for the animals of Rikki's page 15 Refuge.

  • Dracula's Guest
    The Wondrous Child by Bram Stoker This story was brought to you by: www.bramstoker.org This document is in the Public Domain *** Far away on the edge of a great creek, that stretched inland from the endless sea, there lay a peaceful village. Here the husbandmen led a happy, prosperous life. They rose early, so that in the cool grey morn they heard the lark, all invisible in the height of the dawn, singing the morning hymn that he never forgets. As sunset came stealing on, they returned to their homes, glad of the rest that nightfall brought to them. In the autumn, when the harvesting was to be done, they worked late, as they were able to do; for at that time the kind Sun and his wife the Moon have a compact that they will help those who work at the harvest. So the sun stays up a little longer, and the moon gets out of her bed in the horizon a little earlier, and thus there is always light to work by. The red, broad, full-faced moon that looks down on the husbandmen at work is called the Harvest Moon. The Lord of the Manor of this peaceful village was a very good, kind man, that helped the poor always. At meal-time the door of his mansion stood open; and all who were hungry could enter if they chose, and take seats at the table, and be welcome guests. This Lord of the Manor had three children, Sibold and May, and one little Baby Boy just come home who had no name as yet.
