His home fell down on top on him during the earthquake We were all inside but Ronald did not have time to get out.  We must thank God for the opportunity at least, to bury him properly. I feel sorry for the thousands of families who do not have this chance, many cannot find their loved ones. It will be hard for them to move on, it's double the problem.  At least we can visit and put flowers on the grave.  After the quake, there were bodies everywhere many were burnt where they lay or carted off in huge trucks to mass graves."

The preacher has written God Bless America but has misspelled 'devastation' that the Devil is bringing. Messages and slogans appeared all over America following the trauma and the desire for retribution following the terrorist attacks that killed thousands, Christians wanted reprisals as emotions ran high in the media. Small community churches preached against Islam in the same breath as the Devil's evil. The rhetoric of the Crusades as said by President Bush was also a popular way of stirring the propaganda for invasion and war.

Livis was not affected directly, he did not lose any family himself,  but his experiences were similar to those of many Haitians living in central Port Au Prince.  He is a Winnie the Pooh fan and reads it to his five children. He says, "If you're excited what is the point? You have no choice but to be calm. Captured in my mind are the scenes immediately after the earthquake: the collapsed buildings, the dead bodies and worst of all the cries for help from those under the debris. The cries that would go unanswered until eventually they stopped. They cried but we couldn't help"

  • Sculpture of Zeus in the gardens at Fontfroide Abbey near Narbonne, France. Fontfroide Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery in France, situated 15 kilometers south-west of Narbonne. It was founded in 1093 by Aimery I, Viscount of Narbonne, but remained poor and obscure, and needed to be refounded by Ermengarde, Viscountess of Narbonne. The abbey fought together with Pope Innocent III against the heretical doctrine of the Cathars who lived in the region. It was dissolved in 1791 in the course of the French Revolution. The premises, which are of very great architectural interest, passed into private hands in 1908, when the artists Gustave and Madeleine Fayet dAndoque bought it to protect the fabric of the buildings from an American collector of sculpture. They restored it over a number of years and used it as a centre for artistic projects. It still remains in private hands. Today it is open to paying guests.

  • Fake classical Greek statues stand outside a night club in Nafplio, a former Byzantines, Frank, Venetian, and Ottoman coastal Peloponnese port town of 14,000 on the Argolic Gulf. The walls of this modern building seen near wasteland on the outskirts of town are made to look authentic but result in a false tourist style. There are three pieces of fake art that stand on well-watered grass: One of a nude Greek Goddess, a miniature lion in the middle and nearest the viewer is a naked figure of a man - muscular and classically posed as a heroic and mythical figure. Nafplio was also the first capital of independent Greece which was  destroyed in the 7th Century for its alliance with Sparta. This contemporary landscape is therefore bears no resemblance to its heritage.

  • Father Peter Geldard sits in his former Anglican Church near Faversham, England. He sits in a pew clasping his hands together and looking away as if lost in thought, the Christian cross and altar in the distance. Geldard is known for his stance against the Church of England's vote allowing the ordination of women priests in 1992, causing a huge row with Anglican church worshippers. Clergy, including five bishops, eventually left to join the Catholic Church including Father Geldard, who led the opposition and became a notorious debater, campaigner, and general nuisance to the church. He eventually resigned from his Anglican orders, moved out of his vicarage house and along with thirty-five members of his former parish (including the churchwardens and all the members of the parish council), now attends Mass at the Catholic church in Faversham.
