  • The Left Wing

    The Left Wing

    Napoleon divides his forces: the left wing. The situation until about 2 p.m. By 10.30 a.m. Napoleon expected Reille, unless he would face resistance, to place his corps astride the Brussels road one or two lieues (4.5 or 9 kilometres) to the north. Though Reille’s orders where to cross the Sambre had been ambiguous (Marchienne-au-Pont and Charleroi), his target remained the same. Around the same time, having crossed the Sambre at Marchienne-au-Pont, d’Erlon was directed to take up a position on the road leading from there towards Fontaine-l’Evêque – Binche – Mons, thereby at the same time linking up with Reille in such a way to support him, if needed. There is no clear point up to where d’Erlon was to advance (as it was with Reille), but d’Erlon was also to reconnoitre in the direction of Mons and Nivelles. It is a first step in the further development of the left wing which would form part of the grand strategy of the central position. It is important to note that d’Erlon was supposed to support Reille, and not vice versa, as it was expected that he could face enemy resistance first. A possible main threat as coming from Wellington was apparently seen from the line Mons – Binche – Fontaine l’Evêque, but not such that it was expected that d’Erlon would need any support from Reille. The situation after about 2 p.m. Having been informed about a Prussian presence at Gosselies, Napoleon – at Belle Vue - drew in the front-line of his left wing more to the north-east by ordering both the 2nd and 1st corps to go there.

These indicators are designed to make access to more secure speed information by means of sophisticated back-reading devices. These specific requirements are especially imposed for train traffic on the SNCF network, which has incidentally sanctioned several of our indicators. SIL2 Speed measurement Board When installed in a SIL2 Safety Display, this board allows to display the real speed issued from the ATESS system on the SNCF network.

THE MASTERPIECE BY VICTOR HUGO ALSO REMAINS VERY POPULAR THANKS TO THE MUSICAL VERSION AND THE MANY MOVIES. Over thirty films have been made of ‘Les Miserables’ and Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech) is currently shooting a new version with a top cast. In March, it is exactly 150 years since ‘Les Misérables’ by Victor Hugo was published. Not in Paris as is often assumed, but in Brussels. The first theatrical performance of ‘Les Misérables’, an adaptation of the book by his son Charles, also took place in Brussels. In addition to these two premieres of ‘Les Misérables’, Brussels played a crucial role in Victor Hugo’s life and his career as a writer and thinker. Closely related to Hugo’s connection with Brussels is also his call for a United States of Europe.

  • Form Vision Hans Theys

    Form Vision Hans Theys

    Form Vision Hans Theys Form Vision Artists on Art Tornado Editions 2019 To Tamara Van San In 1983, a fellow student handed me this Banda copy, suggesting it might be interesting for me – as an aficionado of art and literature – to study the writings of Kafka without interpreting them. The origin of the book you are holding now lies within this generous gesture. Thirty years later, when I accidently rediscovered it, I realised that the text quotes a book by Susan Sontag, translated and typewritten by an unknown hand. Everyone has a sort of individual form vision. In all the greatest artists the seeds of this form vision has been present even in their early work, and to some extent their work has been a gradual unfolding of this rhythm throughout. (…) It’s something the artist can’t control – it’s his make up. (…) The less conscious you are of your own individual form rhythm, the more likely it is, I think, to get richer and fuller and develop. Henry Moore, 1941 What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more. Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back content so that we can see the thing at all. (…) The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.
