And that s what the House of Alijn is all about! A museum with a passion for daily life in the twentieth century. A museum with a wealth of stories to tell about the minutiae of life and life s major events in the early twentieth century and in the post-war years. The best day of their lives From the photo album, 5th instalment En avant, marche! The public is helping the House of Alijn build a digital photo album about daily life in the 20th century. What makes this album different is that it consists of photographs found in private family albums. Family albums provide insight into the spirit of an age and show how customs and practices evolved through the 20th century. A selection of the thousands of photographs collected are presented in a succession of themed exhibitions. The thread running through this instalment is major happy events in family life. One of the happiest is the wedding day and the portrait of the newly-weds. Wedding photographs have many stories to tell. In this exhibition the House of Alijn lifts a corner of the veil. Belgium distinguishes between three traditional types of brass band: fanfares, harmonieorkesten and brassbands. Each of these wind orchestras has its own history of highs and lows, but a celebration was never a celebration without a brass band of some description. These days they are enjoying a comeback with alternative marching bands and murgas acquiring a trendy image in the cities. Intrigued by the beauty of that world, photographer Stephan Vanfleteren captured band members on camera. His portraits of musicians will be on show in the En avant, marche! exhibition at the House of Alijn. in cooperation with VLAMO and the publisher Kannibaal

What does suffering from black bile mean? How was a hysterical woman treated? Down the ages, insanity has been treated with a mixture of magic and religion, constraint and care, control and science. Dr Jozef Guislain organized modern psychiatry in Ghent in the 19th century. The former Guislain Hospice, Belgium s first psychiatric hospital (1857), now houses the Dr Guislain Museum. This is where my house lives* Variations on living and madness The great psychiatric institution, which used to be seen as the answer to madness, has rather fallen into oblivion. In 2009 Christopher Payne caused a stir with his series of photographs entitled Asylum. Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospitals, about abandoned psychiatric institutions in the United States of America. In J ai perdu ma tête, Peter Granser gives an account of his visit to a psychiatric institution in Normandy. Eddo Hartmann revisits the house of his childhood. With Scale 1:200, a triptych, the Dutch artist Juul Sadée takes us into the world of artist and architect Robert Garcet ( ), who designed a strange structure packed with symbolism: the Eben-Ezer Tower. *Wouter De Ryck, nephew of visual artist Anne-Mie van Kerkhoven Nervous Women Two centuries of women and their psychiatrists It seems that while in the nineteenth century women went mad because of a lack of behavioural freedom, at the beginning of the twenty-first century some women go to pieces because of an excess of freedom. Nervous Women takes eight case studies to illustrate the remarkable evolution in society and psychiatry: how girls and women healthy and sick lived from 1800 to 2000, how syndromes like hysteria are very much phenomena of their time, how our age elicits new forms of disturbed behaviour. Why was kleptomania regarded as typically female for so long? How did the then still by definition male psychiatrist view women patients around 1900? Why are 75% of women diagnosed as suffering from borderline personality disorder?

Learn all about the industrial society and marvel at the stories told by textile workers. Admire the Mule Jenny spinning machine and the oldest extant twine mill in north-west Europe, two of the collection s showpieces. Floor and wall tiles Power to the People WorldWideWork Belgium s tile industry from art nouveau to the 1970s 100 years of electricity The home and working lives of six generations In the twentieth century Belgian tile companies enjoyed fame at home and abroad with companies like Boch Frères, Gilliot and Maison Helman setting the tone. The floor and wall tile owed its success to splendid art-nouveau realizations, from ingenious geometric patterns and decorative flowers to exquisite, colourful tile tableaux. They were designed and customized by scenery workshops or leading artists to decorate façades, interiors, homes and businesses. As well as being able to admire magnificent tile panels, you will also learn about the production process and working conditions in tile factories. permanent A hundred years ago electricity was not a feature of everyday life. This changed at the beginning of the twentieth century, a period that heralded an unprecedented belief in progress and innovation. The 1913 Ghent World Fair was a veritable ode to electricity. Belgium s most important electricity companies were represented in the Palais des Lumières where thousands of little bulbs dazzled in an unparalleled light show. Power to the People provides a cocksure view of the arrival of electricity as a new form of energy. What effect did this have on our social and working lives? Life-size photographs of traditional Flemish interiors illustrate the theme. The industrial society brings paid holiday, leisure and increasing consumption.

Typifying his early work is the belief that furniture should not just be aesthetically pleasing but also marketable and affordable. By the late 1970s Belgium s design industry was in the doldrums. Furniture manufacturers that refused to move on from functionalism went out of business. Fortunately exceptions like Pieter De Bruyne prove the rule. He was no longer working for industry but designing one-off pieces to commission. They were true milestones. Shiro Kuramata The legendary Japanese designer Shiro Kuramata ( ) designed approximately 180 items of furniture and other objects. In his heyday in the 1980s he is said to have produced a design a day. His designs are a testimony to his craftsmanship and eye for detail. They are typical of the creative dynamism of post-war Japan: technologically advanced, oozing re-found self-confidence and inspired by pop art. Kuramata was also open to other Western influences: the minimalism of Dan Flavin and Donald Judd, Duchamp s readymades and Ettore Sottsass love of bright colour. His furniture designs are poetic, light and seemingly transparent. He was alert to new technologies and previously unused materials. Kuramata loved the effect of surprise.

The exhibition presents a selection of photographs from, for instance, the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War, and portraits of Hemingway, Picasso and others.

Ghent Imbued with the spirit of the age and intoxicated with its economic success, in 1913 Ghent organized a world fair. Other cities like Brussels, Liège and Antwerp had already done this, but on a smaller, less dazzling scale. While the threat of war hanging over Europe increased, Ghent convened a gigantic celebration, which brought visitors flocking to the city. For Ghent this was the real start of the twentieth century, characterized by an unbridled belief in progress. 100 years later Ghent s cultural institutions look back at this world fair and the century that followed. The programme features (among other things) exhibitions, publications and a documentary, promising a packed cultural year with a wide appeal.

Delays expected as eFlow toll tags set to stop working on some Irish motorways
Drivers have been warned to expect increased delays at toll booths after eFlow announced that it would withdraw its tag service on a number of motorways across the country.
From the end of August, motorists will have to stop and pay with cash at the M1 near Drogheda, the M7/M8 south of Portlaoise and the N25 at Waterford.
The news comes following the announcement that eFlow would not be renewing its contract with Celtic Roads Group (CRG), the operator of a number of Irish motorways.
"At present, in order for a tag to be recognised as you pass through a toll plaza, the operator of the toll (CRG) must have an agreement with the tag provider (eFlow)," eFlow said in a statement.
"Unfortunately, due to reasons outside of our control, an agreement has not yet been made."
The removal of tags is expected to increase delays at tollbooths.
Fianna Fail's transport spokesperson Robert Troy said the decision could have a serious impact on traffic congestions unless it is averted before the switch-off date.
"A solution must be found to settle this dispute before significant disruption is caused to commuters," he said on Thursday.
In a statement, CRG acknowledged that "this action by eFlow will inconvenience many of our customers, particularly those who use the eFlow tag service," but claimed that the action was "beyond our control".
"We remain in contact with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII)/eFlow and continue to encourage them not to withdraw their service from their customers," the spokesperson said.
"However, we believe it is important for you be aware of the threat of disruption by eFlow."
They added that customers should "use the time available" before the switch-off date to register with a new tag provider.
Customers have been advised that their tags will continue to operate as normal at the M50 barrier-free toll, M3 Clonee-Kells, M4 Kilcock-Enfield-Kinnegad, N6 Galway-Ballinasloe, N8 Rathcormac-Fermoy bypass, East-Link bridge, Dublin port tunnel and Limerick tunnel.

File Transfer Direct Strengthens Security and Compliance
: 20 May, 2010
(New Product)
Automatic policy-based data loss prevention features on Axway's ad hoc Managed File Transfer Product
Axway, the Business Interaction Networks Company, has released an updated version of File Transfer Direct, which combines the ease of email with the vigorous security capabilities of Axway's core managed file transfer (MFT) products. File Transfer Direct is the only ad hoc MFT solution that enables organizations to establish predefined rules to prevent loss of sensitive information like confidential intellectual property, customer data, employee records and financial information. Since it works in conjunction with users' existing email systems, it enables them to send large files without having to use personal email accounts or physical media that circumvent security measures.
With the latest release of Axway's ad hoc MFT solution, administrators can set governance policies requiring recipients to identify and authenticate themselves - via a user name and password or single sign-on - prior to downloading sensitive attachments. File Transfer Direct provides comprehensive audit trails for regulatory compliance, and speeds on-boarding for partner and customer communities with auto-enrolment and self-registration, while reducing associated costs.
"Approach the governance of file transfers as an ongoing program,' recommends Thomas Skybakmoen, senior research analyst, Gartner. 'All file transfers should undergo a continuous mapping to ensure that they are visible, governed and part of existing MFT solutions to enforce policy based on risk."
The Knott Group manufactures components and braking systems for commercial and off-highway vehicles. As part of that effort, employees frequently need to send and receive large 3-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) files. Limits on email attachment size and security regulations with military original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) compelled the Knott Group to implement Axway's File Transfer Direct.
"Since Axway's File Transfer Direct solution has been implemented, file transfer is so much easier for us to manage, and it is also easier for our customers,' said Torsten Kynast, Head of IT, Knott Group. "Transferring large files with enhanced security rules often used to take two days using physical media and courier services. Now it is done in half an hour. It is an entirely worry-free procedure for everyone involved."
By implementing Axway File Transfer Direct, organizations are able to:
• Protect data in transit - Secures the transport channel. Scans attachments for sensitive content and requires identification, authentication and authorization to access attachments. Generates a complete audit report for compliance, which provides in-depth information about recipient, attachment name and date/time of download.
• Increase productivity - Exchanges large data files/attachments (up to 50GB) using the email or browser interface, making it easier to send large files. Eliminates the need to turn to less secure methods, such as private email accounts, unsecure file transfer protocol (FTP), DVDs and USB flash drives.
• Reduce costs - Saves administrative overhead by enabling self-enrollment for fast on-boarding, as well as by automatically removing user accounts after defined periods of inactivity. Also reduces costs by shortening email backup and restore times, and reducing size of email traffic.
• Offload large email attachments - Reduces the size of email storage and alleviates pressure on email servers while ensuring corporate policies are enforced.
• Deploy via preferred model - File Transfer Direct supports multiple deployment options - on a hardened appliance, in the cloud or in a virtualized environment.
"Nearly everyone knows firsthand the frustrations involved with sending large files. The issue becomes more complex when you are dealing with highly confidential and sensitive data," said Dave Bennett, chief technology officer for Axway. "End users need the tools to conduct their business interactions, while IT departments need to prevent data loss and protect the organization from risk. And once the data leaves the organization, you need control over how that information is disseminated to other individuals. The new version of File Transfer Direct addresses that concern with authentication that makes the data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities even stronger."

Get the Media Attention You Deserve: No More Waiting to See Your Name in Ink
Publicity is more credible than advertising because it isn't paid for directly by the company or person, while advertising space is. Public Relations specialists can't control the size of a write up as much as advertisers can.
When your product, service, name, or company is in ink, it can generate great media attention, which is why billions of dollars are spent on PR every year.
When targeting specific publications, you should not send out mass emails with pitches and press releases because it is considered spamming. Each pitch needs to be tailored to meet the audience of the publication.
In email pitches and press releases, make sure the subject line is relevant because you want to make sure the email gets opened. The press release is one of the most cost efficient ways to generating publicity when you have a targeted media list. Keep the press release short and concise. Don't use flowery and ornate language. Media professionals want news; not to read the greatest piece of literature since Tolstoy. Remember, editors/journalists have no obligation to run your story.
Make sure you press release follows the correct format. Stay tuned for next week's lesson in formatting a press release.
As I mentioned last week, contact one reporter/journalist at a time. In your pitch, reference an article the journalist/reporter wrote. Recently, I was putting a publicity campaign for one of my new products. I sent out four pitches to four different publications two weeks ago, and landed three feature story interviews.
Make your media contact's job easier by telling them how your company can help their audience or why your company is relevant to a certain trend. If the contact doesn't use it right away, they may call on you in the future, when a certain trend becomes popular.
Conduct case studies from clients. Ask your clients how your product or service has helped them. Ask for testimonials. Incorporate case studies and testimonials into your pitch. This will make your release more believable and newsworthy as well as make the journalist's life easier (we will teach you how to draft a solid pitch in an upcoming lesson).
Never send a pitch or press release as an attachment, unless the journalist or reporter asks for it. Send all text in a plain text email.
Make sure you follow up in a timely manner.
Test your pitch with one or two journalists. You can email or call the journalist. Keep the pitch to three or four sentences at most if you call.
And a few bullet points later " Don't be afraid of annoying the journalist"
If possible, address the editor by his or her first and last name
Remember, journalists find many of their stories from regular people/businesses, so it is your job to pitch them accordingly. Just don't make your news self-serving.

Beijing won't rush into political talks with Taipei, analysts say
Beijing to get own house in order before political dialogue, analyst says
Related topics
The report delivered by outgoing Communist Party general secretary Hu Jintao last week should remove any doubt in Taipei that Beijing will soon push for political talks, Taiwanese analysts said.
Such a push may have to wait for a year or two, as incoming Communist Party leader Xi Jinping consolidates his power and launches any plans he has to tackle internal problems. But Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou cannot afford to wait to develop strategies, they said.
"With the incoming new leadership, we should not continue sitting back without changing our approach, but should amend our policies in order to adapt ourselves to the changes," said Su Chi, a former secretary general of Taiwan's National Security Council.
Su said the Ma government was not well prepared for the mainland's leadership change. He noted that Xi had spent 17 years in nearby Fujian province and had enjoyed extensive interaction with Taiwanese businesspeople. He therefore knew Taiwan better than previous incoming leaders.
"He might adopt a more proactive approach to engaging with Taiwan than Hu, and not be satisfied with maintaining the cross-strait status quo," Su said.
Analysts said that Xi's approach - at least initially - would be largely defined by the report on cross-strait relations delivered by Hu at the opening of the 18th party congress on Thursday in Beijing.
Xi, who currently serves as vice-president, will also succeed Hu as president in March.
"We hope that the two sides will jointly explore cross-strait political relations and make reasonable arrangements for them under the special condition that the country is yet to be reunified," Hu said.
The general secretary also suggested that the two sides discuss setting up a mechanism to improve military ties and ensure stability.
He advocated a consultative peace process to advance the growth of cross-strait relations.
Although Xi will not have taken full power until he assumes control of the Central Military Commission, he is still expected to have had input in drafting the report and approved of its direction.
"What Hu said in his report represents the mainland's cross-strait policy direction for the future, but not its policy at the present," said Professor Chang Wu-yueh, director of the Graduate Institute of China Studies at Tamkang University in Taipei.
More than six decades after the Kuomintang fled across the Taiwan Strait in the face of the Communist Party's victory in the Chinese civil war, relations between the sides have warmed considerably.
Ma, now in his second term, has pursued a cautious path, signing 18 co-operation agreements but steering clear of the difficult political issues that continue to separate democratic Taiwan from the authoritarian mainland.
So far, Beijing - which sees reunification as the ultimate goal - has been happy to oblige, as increased ties can only add pressure for political talks. Hu's report suggests Beijing is aiming to take the dialogue to the next level.
"Political dialogue is inevitable if the next mainland leader is to achieve any of these goals," said Professor Lin Chong-pin, a former vice-chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council. Lin now teaches international relations at Tamkang University.
Ma expressed support for a peace pact with Beijing, but said he did not believe the time would be ripe before his second term ended in 2016. He repeated the stance after Hu delivered his report, as the Presidential Office released an interview Ma had given to the Hong Kong-based newsweekly Yazhou Zhoukan, in which he said a peace accord was not on his immediate agenda.
On Friday, Taiwanese Premier Sean Chen - who, like Ma, is in the KMT - weighed in as well, saying the "upgrading of cross-strait economic dialogue should still be the priority over political issues between the two sides".
One thing holding back a more aggressive push by Beijing is brewing concern about corruption, inequality, pollution and several other problems associated with the mainland's historic economic rise. Major unrest on the mainland could only make political talks less appealing to the Taiwanese.
As such, experts expect that Xi will not be able to turn serious attention towards Taiwan until after 2014.
"Xi must first deal with internal political, social and economic problems, as well as regional issues like the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, and the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea," Chang said.
But political dialogue may become increasingly unavoidable as the two sides grow more intertwined. Cai Mingzhao , a spokesman for the 18th party congress, said as much last week when he commented that the two sides would have to face political issues "sooner or later".

Keywords: 2 bedroom modern comfortable townhouse in charming location
Dear Julie
We had a wonderful time at Villa Nova and in Provence. I think Villa Nova and your attention to details are perfect. It is the perfect place, perfect amenities and perfect location. I would recommend it to all my family and friends. My husband and I will be back someday soon.
It was with sadness that I left St Remy on Friday 5/25. I really did
not want to go. We had a nice time in Carcassonne and a fabulous time in Paris celebrating Mary Ellen's birthday but St Remy kept my heart.
Thank you for all you did to make our stay comfortable. I really do
appreciate it. Your son is adorable, we enjoyed meeting him.
My husband and I spent 9 nights in St Remy at this delightful townhouse. I can heartily endorse the comments of the 2 previous reviewers. The apartment was spacious, modern and spotless, very well equipped with high quality appliances and furnishings, and the availability of a private car park in a secure gated community was fantastic. The grounds were simply beautiful with lavender just beginning to flower and we thoroughly enjoyed returning each day from our travels to this comfortable and refreshing environment. Julie, the manager was very helpful and available to answer our queries, and the information provided in her booklet was great. St Remy itself is a lovely town and the apartment was a very good base for day trips to surrounding areas; the walk into town only a few short minutes. Our stay here was extremely enjoyable and I would not hesitate to recommend it - we would be very happy to return!
Villa Nova is a real gem. If you plan on staying in St Rémy, this is the place for you. The villa is located about 7 minutes from the city center. It is in a quaint gated community with ambiance plus plus plus. ; as soon as you enter the area, you get the "oh yes " feeling. Then when you go in the villa, you get the "wow" factor. The villa has everything you need for a "home away from home" place. This two storey villa has two lovely bedrooms and one full bathroom on the upper level. The main level offers a roomy living / dining area, a super well equipped kitchen and a powder room. There is also a patio where you can enjoy a meal or read a book. The place is clean, modern and has all the luxuries one needs for a perfect holiday. ( expresso coffee machine, wifi, television, c.d. player, land line telephone, washer/ dryer, dishwasher, etc.) My sisters and I spent 6 nights at Villa Nova. I could have easily have settled there for a month.
Julie is the perfect property manager. She has a booklet with all the info you need for the villa. She was also very helpful in giving us very useful suggestions for the area. All transactions with Julie were pleasant, professional and smooth.
If Provence is your destination, consider St Rémy as a hub. You can easily walk everywhere in the town. Do not miss the Wednesday morning market, the Vincent Van Gogh walk, the St Paul de Mausole to name a few. Julie has a good collection of books and maps you can consult for the area. We were able to do many day trips comfortably knowing that we were coming home to our little gem at Villa Nova.
Our stay at Villa Nova and St Rémy was so special. I would go back there in a heartbeat.
Villa Nova was the right choice for us on our visit to Provence. Set in the courtyard of an old villa, the townhouse has everything we needed to make our stay an absolute delight. We used the terrace for wine , cheese and olives at the end of each day and enjoyed the comfort of the living area when temperatures got cooler in the evening. There were 3 of us traveling and the two bedrooms and 1.5 baths were perfect. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals which, given the the abundance of food shops and locally sourced meats and vegetables in St Remy, we did with some regularity. The townhouse was immaculate and Julie, the property manager, was always available for questions. The standard one is usually how to program settings for the washing machine but the instructions Julie left were good enough for even us to understand. Having available, off street parking was also a nice plus. Villa Nova is just a very short 5 minute walk to the Place Republic and the center of St Remy. We would head into town at the end of the day either for dinner or just a cafe on the street for people-watching. For days that you might not feel like driving, St Remy is a great town with museums, a wonderful weekly street market, Roman ruins and very good restaurants. Van Gogh spent time at a local hospital and you can feel his presence when you look at the Alpilles, olive trees, and fields that ring the town. The town is full of charm and Villa Nova only improves the overall experience.
This was a lovely house with plenty of room for the 4 of us, as we were two couples. We settled in quickly to the townhouse which is set in a secured quaint courtyard of an old villa. The view from both bedroom windows were just beautiful, one overlooking the courtyard and the other had a rushing stream out the back. The was a nice comfortable sitting area on the main floor, a lovely patio with a table, a large kitchen fully equipped, two lovely bedrooms, a full bathroom with shower and a large extra two piece bathroom. Everything was clean, modern and up to date, with a French charm to it. Julie the property manager was wonderful to deal with and was responsive with any questions. St. Remy was a really nice village with great restaurants, shops, patisseries and gelato! We were just a 2 minute walk to the center of the village and we really enjoyed our time in this charming town and villa. We lucked out and we were there on the Patron St. Day when the running of the sheep took place! We loved the patisserie that was just down the street from the villa and enjoyed fresh pastries from there each morning.
Just finished a fantastic week in St Remy staying at this unit in Villa Nova. The place could not have been any more perfect: central location yet quiet and with secure private parking, well furnished and cute inside, and with a property manager, Julie, who is second to none. We loved exploring Provence using St Remy as our base, so pleasant to come back to our home away from home each day and stroll the streets of St Remy for shopping, boulangeries, and restaurants. Of all the places I have stayed using vrbo I think this is the best ever. Especially with such great service from Julie (did I mention how awesome she was?). Highly recommend this place for anyone coming to St Remy.
We spent 5 fabulous nights in this spotless, well equipped two bedroom townhouse located within the gates of a lovely courtyard adorned by a fountain and wonderful main house. Julie greeted us and was very helpful. She had provided several leaflets and ideas about what to do in the area. The house is an easy walk into town and only steps to the local boulangerie. St Remy was a superb location from which to visit many of the highlights of Provence. We visited Nimes, Uzes, Cassis (be sure to take the Route de Cretes outside of Cassis), Aix en Provence, Avignon, and Les Baux. We highly recommend that you go to Carrieres de Lumieres just a 10 minute walk from the fortress city of les Baux. Les Carrieres are huge quarries on which are projected artwork on the walls and floors to music. It was so unusual and absolutely breathtaking. Well worth the 15E. Be sure to go to the market in St. Remy. Ever ynight we returned to the lovely calm and charm of our town house and sat on our patio enjoying wine and cheese. Highly recommend this rental. Thanks Julie.
Van Gogh walking trail, Historical tours of Les Baux, Glanum and other Roman monuments. Famous Provence markets, traditional bull fighting
