  • Helen McKendry, eldest daughter of Jean McConville who was abducted and murdered by the IRA in 1972. For thirty years until 2003 she searched for her mother's body and has cmpaigned to this day for her killers to be brought to justice. Jean McConville's body was finally discovered in 2003 on Shelling Beach.<br />
<br />
Jean was a protestant married to a Catholic. The family had been forced to flee Protestant East Belfast by loyalists in 1969 and had moved to the Divis flats on the Falls Road. On December the 6th, Jean McConville was playing bingo, when she was informed her daughter Helen was in hospital. Two men she had never seen before ushered her to a waiting car. At 2am the police came to the house and took Helen Helen to the Albert Street barracks. There she found her mother badly bruised, hair pulled from her head and her coat and shoes missing. She had been abducted, iterrogated, and  had managed to escape from her captors. After returning home and sleeping for the afternoon, Helen went out for less than half an hour to buy fish and chips for the evening meal, to discover that while her mother was taking a bath, 12 men wearing masks had burst into the house and taken Jeran McConville.

  • Having just unearthed more bodies from layers of volcanic ash and pumice, an archaeologist's assistant pauses for a cigarette, kneeling beside a victim of the AD79 eruption of Mount Versuvius over the ancient Roman town of Pompeii. Buried beneath huge amounts of toxic material this person was suffocated and crushed from falling debris. Preserved in a shell of volcanic material it is to be removed from this site on top of a villa roof where, it is calculated, this citizen was one of the last to die, having climbed 4 metres above ground level to await its fate. The Italian man ears a red t-shirt and holds a pick that has scraped and brushed away the soil to reveal the human form which also shows another body beneath. Others litter the rooftop too proving that many survivors of the first eruption perished after the second many hours later.

  • In the peristyle of the House of the Vettii in Pompeii is a fresco  where an ancient painted mural to the Greek Goddess Urania was unearthed from volcanic ash after 2,000 years. In Greek mythology, Urania which stems from the Greek word for 'heavenly' or 'of heaven', was the muse of astronomy. Some accounts list her as the mother of the musician Linus, usually depicted as having a globe in her left hand, she can foretell the future by the arrangement of the stars and is often associated with Universal Love and the Holy Spirit. Those who are most concerned with philosophy and the heavens are dearest to her. Painted before the catastrophic eruption of Versuvius in AD79, the frescoes have been uncovered from metre-layers of ash and pumice but are now fading from moisture and cracked plaster.

Pompeii was buried beneath metres of toxic material from Mount Versuvius in May AD79 and this person was suffocated then crushed from falling debris. Preserved in a shell of volcanic material it is to be examined for desease yielding clues as to its lifestyle and eating habits. The skeletal remains are clearly identifiable with spinal column vertibrae, one jaw still containing teeth and various pieces of bone have been recovered. Many bodies littered a rooftop here proving that many survivors of the first eruption perished after the second many hours later.

  • In the Villa of the Vettii in Pompeii we see a fresco in the lararium where a shrine to Roman guardian spirits of the household was situated. Family members performed daily rituals here to guarantee their protection by these domestic spirits. The first two characters are the deeply venerated 'lares' (presumed sons of Mercury and Lara) depicted as two young men in dancing postures, holding drinking horns that guaranteed prosperity. In the centre is the 'genius'. She is another guardian and fertility spirit ensuring the family line (gens) would continue and she wears the 'toga praetexta', bordered in purple, the garment of high-ranking Roman magistrates. Painted before the catastrophic eruption of Versuvius in AD79, these frescoes have been uncovered from metre-layers of volcanic ash and pumice but are now fading from moisture and cracked plaster.

  • A pair of awkwardly splayed legs disappear into the cold, murky waters of the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park. Having just dived head-first off a platform that juts out into the lake, the person is half in and half out and the splash is frozen in time. He or she is in incopetent diver with such ungainly plunge into the waters. It is otherwise a quiet moment. The water is largely undisturbed apart from the dive and buoy markers float to for a boundary line to keep rowing boats and bathers apart. This bathing area is where the normally busy Serpentine Swimming Club have the use of this Royal lake known as Lansbury's Lido. It is now normally open only in the summer, but one traditional event occurs each year on New Year's Day, when the ice is broken and brave bathers dive into the cold waters of the lake. The Serpentine will be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics. The Serpentine gets its name from its supposedly snakelike, curving shape. It was formed in 1730 when Queen Caroline, wife of George II, ordered the damming of the River Westbourne and other natural ponds in Hyde Park.

  • Browsing man outside traditional, but disappearing, bookshop on Charing Cross Road. Rising rents and unfavourable leases are forcing such shops away from Charing Cross Road, long known for the new and second-hand book market that have attracted the literate for decades. Soon there will be none here and the character of this street and many like it, will change forever leaving behind a gentrified artificiality. The scene here is of a bygone era of old shops and old way of business.

  • The art activist protest group Bp-or-not-Bp make an artistic intervention at the British Museum to highlight the fact that the oil company BP sponsors a show called Sunken Cities at the Museum May 17 2016. (photo by Kristian Buus/In Pictures via Getty Images) School children visiting the museum learn about the implications of BP's sponsorship and get to see the crude oil from the Mixican Guld oil dissaster. The press release states:  "The lines of stones in the artwork represent the 340 people forcibly disappeared in the four months prior to BP signing a $12bn dollar deal with the Sisi regime – a rehash of a deal it had made with the Mubarak regime. The total number disappeared under the Sisi regime may run into thousands. [3] Teargas is a weapon that was used both to repress popular protest in Tahrir Square during the revolution but also those who actively opposed BP’s operations in the country. "

  • Aqa Ali Shams. The Taliban killed my husband in 2001. he was in the military. I have 4 daughters and 2 sons. The sons work pushing carts and selling vegetables. I can not do heavy work, as I am ill I have internal bleeding?<br />
<br />
5 months after I was widowed, my daughter was engaged she was 3 months old. When she was 16, she disappeared. I do not know what happened to her.  The family of her fiance was furious. They demanded two daughters in her place and forced two of my daughters to marry.  There was nothing I could do.<br />
<br />
If my husband had not died, we could have looked after our first daughter better so she would not have disappeared. he could have protected us. it is because I am a widow that all these things have happened.

With gentrification devastating Brixton’s famous character and community, local activists, residents and campaigners gathered for a ‘Reclaim Brixton’ protest. Organised to celebrate Brixton’s “community, its diversity, culture, life and resistance”. Social diversity is being driven out by lack of truly affordable housing. Local businesses by increasing rents and redevelopment schemes that benefit national & multinational rather than local businesses. Local spaces for people to meet, get support or education are being decimated as community groups, long-standing pubs, music venues, libraries & colleges are being relocated, repurposed, disappeared.

  • Girls practice Mohiniyattam (also spelled Mohiniattam), Kerala's sole classical dance for women.<br />
The dance literally means "dance of the enchantress" and had all but disappeared before it was reintroduced at the Kerala Kalamadalam.<br />
The Kalamandalam was founded in 1930 to preserve the cultural traditions of Kathakali, the stylised dance drama of Kerala. Kathakali is the classical dance-drama of Kerala, South India, which dates from the 17th century and is rooted in Hindu mythology. Kathakali is a unique combination of literature, music, painting, acting and dance performed by actors wearing extensive make up and elaborate costume who perform plays which retell in dance form stories from the Hindu epics.

  • A detail of a defaced Queen Hatshepsut in temple of Amun at Karnak at the Temple of Amun at Karnak, Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. Queen Hatshepsut reigned from 1473 to 1458 BC but her successor Tuthmosis III quashed an Asiatic uprising and records of Hatshepsut disappeared. Tuthmosis III was finally able to claim his rightful place as King of Egypt and all images of Hatshepsut were attacked; statues, reliefs and shrines all were defaced. While the queen was damaged, the Gods either side in this painting were left untouched. The Karnak Temple Complex is the largest religious building ever made, covering about 200 acres. It comprises a vast mix of decayed temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings built over 2,000 years and dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu.

  • Tom Alty, commentator and judge of Bartle, Lancashire chats about the quality of the pigs with a fellow judge, Stan Samuels. 'Showing pigs is a performance because you don't have a halter and rope or bridle, you just have a bat [a stick] and a board. You have to have an empathy between pig and handler, but even the good pigs are not as obedient as you'd like. At one show about 15 years ago I asked my wife, who had never taken an animal in the ring, to walk round an old Large Black sow. It was a placid pig, but suddenly there was a grunt and a rush, and the pig disappeared into the horticultural tent, which housed, among other things, a display of eggs. My wife has never been to a show since.'

  • Tom Alty, right, commentator and judge of Bartle, Lancashire, with Stan Samuels, 'Showing pigs is a performance because you don't have a halter and rope or bridle, you just have a bat [a stick] and a board. You have to have an empathy between pig and handler, but even the good pigs are not as obedient as you'd like. At one show about 15 years ago I asked my wife, who had never taken an animal in the ring, to walk round an old Large Black sow. It was a placid pig, but suddenly there was a grunt and a rush, and the pig disappeared into the horticultural tent, which housed, among other things, a display of eggs. My wife has never been to a show since. The Great Yorkshire Show, one of Britain's biggest agricultural shows, is famous for its competitive displays of livestock. The event, established in 1837, attracts over 125 000 visitors a year and has over 10 000 entries to its pedigree competitions ranging from pigeons and rabbits to bulls and shire horses.

  • Dunk'n doughnuts restaurant  opposite the legendary  crossroads of Highways 49 and 61. In the juke joints around Clarksdale, Mississippi, Robert Johnson was known as the kid who could barely play the guitar he often carried. Stories are told of musicians inviting Johnson to join them on stage, knowing that, before he got very far, the audience would be laughing. He disappeared for a while. When he returned, no one who heard him could believe he was the same man. He blew everyone away, playing the songs that would make him famous, among them "Cross Road Blues" and "Me And The Devil Blues."<br />
Rumours started and a myth was born :Johnson did a deal with the devil here at the crossroads of Highways 49 and 61 and sold his soul in return for his musical abilities. Whatever  the truth fans on the way to  the historic Blues town of Clarksdale and its  Delta Blues Museum will often stop at Abe's Bar B Q  or  the Dunk'n doughnuts restaurant on the intersection and pay homage.
