# Hyndford Street

Hyndford Street is a Protestant working-class street in Bloomfield, Belfast, in Northern Ireland. It lies off the Beersbridge Road.
It is most well known for being the birthplace of musician Van Morrison. Van lived in 125 Hyndford Street, with his father, George Morrison, and his mother, Violet Morrison. Morrison's good friend, jazz musician George Cassidy also grew up on Hyndford Street, number 49. Cassidy taught Van Morrison tenor saxophone and music reading lessons. Van described him as a "big inspiration" and went on to say: "At 15, I was taking lessons from a guy called George Cassidy, who lived in the same street. He was a great jazz player. He had the chops."' As Van Morrison and George Cassidy both lived on the same street, this made it extremely accessible for Morrison to continue to learn, they continued to bond, and became great friends.

## Area and events

Houses on Hyndford Street are terrace housing. Nearby areas include the Comber Greenway (formerly a railway line between Comber and the city of Belfast) and Cyprus Avenue.

# Francois Pennacchio

Francois Pennacchio (born June 24, 1965) is a French kickboxer who became WAKO champion in 1993 and 1998, and the ISKA champion in 1997. Known for his use of savate against other kickboxing styles such as muay thai, karate, and Dutch kickboxing, Pennacchio fought a total of 100 bouts against many famous kickboxers at that time, and helped popularized the use of savate in mainstream professional combat sports. Nowadays, he is considered to be one of the greatest savate fighters of all time.

## Biography

Francois Pennacchio was born in France in the year 1965. At an early age, he trained in the French martial art savate or French boxing, even becoming a savate champion in both 1991 and 1992. He later transitioned into mainstream kickboxing and was most active in the late 1990s to early 2000s. He fought for the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations, becoming their champion in 1993 and 1998, and the International Sport Kickboxing Association, becoming their champion in 1997.
In modern times, however, Pennacchio became known for his bouts against many legendary kickboxers during his time, many of whom were trained under different disciplines and styles of kickboxing. His specialty in the use of savate against other kickboxing styles made him a unique fighter during his career. Sascha Matuszak of Vice considers him to be one of the greatest savate fighters of all time.

### Famous bouts

One of his most famous fights was his 1997 bout against muay thai fighter David Hergault. Both kickboxers were of French origin and the bout was fought under the ISKA promotion. Muay thai was a martial art that was well known in kickboxing tournaments for its powerful roundhouse kicks using shins. But Pennachio managed to win against Hergault through precise long range blows that knocked down the nak muay multiple times.
However, Pennachio's most famous fight was his match-up against Dutch kickboxer, Ramon Dekkers, in 1996. Dekkers is a legend in kickboxing and was one of the pioneers of the so-called Dutch kickboxing, a style that combines Western boxing with traditional Thai boxing. Expectation of the fight was that Pennacchio would not last more than a few minutes, but their fight lasted the whole bout. Pennacchio managed to keep his distance and score points through his savate sidekicks and sweeps. The fight ended in a unanimous decision for Pennacchio.

# Painted Desert Project

The Painted Desert Project is a privately funded public art initiative which connects artists with communities through mural opportunities on the Navajo Nation. The Painted Desert Project is the brainchild of Chip Thomas, a doctor, photographer, activist and long-time reservation resident.
The Painted Desert Project began in 2012 when Chip Thomas invited several world-renowned street artists to the Navajo Nation for short-term residencies, during which the artists immersed themselves in the local communities. By requiring the artists to embed themselves within the local communities and engage in extensive research, it is hoped the artists will produce work that has relevance to the communities in which the art will remain after the artists depart. This embedded short-term residency approach is intended to obviate the possibility of cultural imperialism, a charge often leveled at large street art festivals. The art, primarily murals and enlarged photographs, grace water tanks, buildings, and roadside stands adjacent to the interstate highways which lace through northwestern Arizona. The installation of art pieces has encouraged the revival of previously abandoned buildings and roadside stands, thereby energizing the community and elevating economic prospects on the Navajo Nation. More importantly, a dialog has begun between residents of the reservation about the work as well as between tourists passing through the area and local residents. In a small way, the art brings people together and stimulates conversations that might not otherwise occur.
Artists who have been involved with the Painted Desert Project include: Tom Greyeyes, Troy Lovegates (Canada), Thomas "Breeze" Marcus, Monica Canilao, Overunder, Doodles, Labrona (Canada), Gaia, Roa, JB Snyder, Pixel Pancho, 2501, Ever, Jaz, Alexis Diaz, Hyuro, Mazatl, Stinkfish, LNY, Nanook, Jess X. Chen + Mata Ruda.
The Painted Desert Project is ongoing as of 2019. Thomas hosts a Google map of sites of the Painted Desert Project on his personal blog.

# Aylesford railway station

Aylesford railway station is on the Medway Valley Line in Kent, England, serving the village of Aylesford. It is 38 miles 74 chains (62.6 km) down the line from London Charing Cross via Strood and is situated between New Hythe and Maidstone Barracks. The station opened on 18 June 1856.
The station and all trains that serve the station are operated by Southeastern.

## History

Aylesford was opened by the South Eastern Railway, which merged with local rival London, Chatham & Dover Railway on 1 January 1899 to form the South Eastern & Chatham Railway. The station became part of the Southern Railway during the grouping of 1923, and was passed on to the Southern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
When sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Network SouthEast until the privatisation of British Railways. On 21 October 1988, a plaque was unveiled at Aylesford in the presence of the Network SouthEast director, Chris Green, to commemorate completion of the project to restore the station building to its original 1856 condition. The project cost £250,000, £50,000 of which was contributed by the Railway Heritage Trust. During the ceremony, Green announced plans for a £4 million resignalling package for the Medway Valley line to replace the semaphore signals by a multi-aspect colour light system controlled from Maidstone West box.
The ticket office, in a building on the northbound platform, was closed in September 1989 and an Indian restaurant—now incorporating a fried chicken takeaway—was subsequently established in the building. In 2007, a permit to travel ticket machine was installed just inside the entrance to the station, on the northbound platform. In early 2016 the Permit to Travel machine was removed with plans to replace it with a ticket machine.

## Services

All services at Aylesford are operated by Southeastern using Class 375 EMUs.
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is:
* 2 tph to Strood
* 2 tph to Paddock Wood via Maidstone West
A small number of morning, mid afternoon and late evening trains continue beyond Paddock Wood to Tonbridge.
On Sundays, the service is reduced to hourly in each direction.

## Station Building

The section of the line surrounding Aylesford Station passes through what was part of the Preston Hall Estate, the then home of Edward Betts, the railway contractor who built this part of the Medway Valley Line. Consequently, the station building is much grander than other country stations along the line. The station buildings are gabled and highly decorated, built in Kentish ragstone with Caen stone dressings, in part reflecting a simplified version of the style of Preston Hall. Windows replicate those at Aylesford Priory.
Following restoration and refurbishment, the station building received an Ian Allan award in 2001, commemorated by a plaque in the waiting room/booking office, which is now in use as an Indian Takeaway Restaurant.
# Nokken, Copenhagen

Nokken is a self-built community located on the north-west coast of Amager, just south of Islands Brygge, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

## History

Islands Brygge was created on reclaimed land in the years between 1900 and 1905. The southern part of the area was owned by the Port Authority and used for port-related industry. Nokken was founded in the 1930s when permission was given to use an undeveloped area for fishing. The first sheds and cabins were constructed, and over the years the community continued to grow.
Ownership of the area was ceded to Copenhagen Municipality when heavy industry disappeared from Islands Brygge towards the end of the century. When plans were being drafted for the redevelopment of the former industrial areas at Islands Brygge, Nokken's residents feared that it would threaten the existence of their community. Negotiations with the municipal authorities finally gave Nokken status as an allotment (kolonihaveforening). The area is currently regulated by some 100 individual leases.

# Monnaie de Paris

The Monnaie de Paris (French pronunciation:, Paris Mint) is a government-owned institution responsible for producing France's coins. Founded in AD 864 with the Edict of Pistres, it is the oldest continuously running minting institution and one of the oldest extant companies in the world.
In 1973, the mint relocated its primary production to a facility in Pessac, and today the original facility in Paris, while still operational, functions primarily as a museum and is home to a collection of many ancient coins.
Monnaie de Paris acquired its autonomy and was granted legal personality by law no. 2006–1666 in 2007.
In 2012, it was the first public institution to obtain the Living Heritage Company label.
At the end of September 2017, Monnaie de Paris reopened after renovation work.

## Building in Paris

A Neoclassical edifice, the Hôtel de la Monnaie was designed by Jacques-Denis Antoine and built from 1767–1775 on the Left Bank of the Seine. The Monnaie was the first major civic monument undertaken by Antoine, yet shows a high level of ingenuity on the part of the architect. Today it is considered a key example of French Neoclassicism in pre-Revolutionary Paris. The building is typified by its heavy external rustication and severe decorative treatment. It boasts one of the longest façades on the Seine; its appearance has been likened to the Italian palazzo tradition. The building, which housed mint workshops, administrative rooms, and residential quarters, wraps around a large interior courtyard. It remains open to the public and includes a numismatics museum, located within what was once the main foundry.

## Development

The Monnaie de Paris employs 500 people (in 2010) on two sites: the Hôtel de la Monnaie in Paris (55% of the workforce) and the monetary establishment in Pessac, in Gironde (45%). In 2019, turnover amounted to 134 million euros for a workforce of 489 employees.
Following a 5-year renovation project known as Metalmetamorphose, the museum at the Monnaie de Paris – known as the Musée du Conti (11 Conti Museum) – was reopened on 30 September 2017.
