The Fiancée of Belus by Henri-Paul Motte

Based on a fanciful Babylonian ritual associated with the deity Belus (Bel). According to that ritual, Bel was offered a girl who sat on the lap of the Bel's statue overnight, and then was replaced by another, all of whom were the winners of daily beauty contests. Motte cited as a reference the Greek historian Herodotus, but the related quote was later found to be invented. The Fiancee of Belus features oversized, Academic style. To recreate the interior of the Babylonian temple, Motte copied the Greek temple in Olympia, while the sculpture is inspired by Lamassu.

The Fiancée of Belus by Henri-Paul Motte. It may be based in history but it seems just so fitting for the Swords and Sorcery genre. I half-expect Conan to burst in and rescue the maiden.

Un des plus grands ports de plaisance du monde, celui de La Rochelle, avec le bassin des Minimes et ceux du Vieux Port. La ville peut se targuer d’être la capitale de la voile en France. Après être passé dans des tas de ports et marinas, en Europe, en Turquie d’Asie, aux Antilles, au Brésil et aux Etats-Unis, et deux en Afrique, là c’est quand même le choc, la taille notamment des Minimes, c’est quelque chose. Guère d’équivalent ailleurs. Et donc aussi la variété des bateaux.

Les quatre ports de plaisance de La Rochelle, Les Minimes en bas, le bassin d’échouage derrière les tours, le bassin intérieur à flot (une porte retient l’eau à marée basse), également derrière les tours, et le bassin extérieur, donnant sur le musée maritime, où on entre juste avant les tours à droite, également fermé quand la mer se retire.

de Bernard Moitessier

Le phare du bout du monde n’est pas si loin, il se trouve au contraire à l’entrée de la baie, on peut y passer seul 24h pour se ressourcer. C’est la réplique d’un phare de Patagonie, d’où son nom, et aussi un roman de Jules Verne. Le bateau de Bernard Moitessier est là, attendant sa rénovation. Moitessier l’a nommé en l’honneur du premier tourdumondiste sur un petit voilier, le Spray, Joshua Slocum, récit classique.

Congratulations are in order for Julia Stiles and her fiancé, Preston J. Cook!

The 10 Things I Hate About You star’s rep confirmed to People that she is pregnant with the couple’s first baby. They met in 2015 on the set of Go With Me, where Preston was working as a camera assistant — and it was revealed in January 2016 that they got engaged on Christmas Eve in Isla Grande, Colombia.

MORE: Tori Roloff Dishes on Baby Jackson on His 1-Month Birthday

“All around, it was a really wonderful trip. We stayed on an island that was really beautiful and there was a lot of great snorkeling. The city was really nice, too, but because I live in the city the natural scenery was really great,” she previously gushed of that weekend.

(Photo Credit: Getty Images)

Very little is known about their unborn child at this time, such as the gender and due date. However, we do know their new addition will be here at some point later this year. We also did have a look at her baby bump — which she debuted while visiting Magic FM studios in London.

The Save the Last Dance star has said in the past that the couple has been slow to wedding plan, so we can’t help but wonder if this will speed up or further prolong them tying the knot.
