Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico. The stems are leafy, ranging in height from as low as 30 cm to more than 1.8–2.4 m. The majority of species do not produce scented flowers. Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they are brightly colored, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue. The dahlia was declared the national flower of Mexico in 1963. Dahlias are perennial plants with tuberous roots, though they are grown as annuals in some regions with cold winters. While some have herbaceous stems, others have stems which lignify in the absence of secondary tissue and resprout following winter dormancy, allowing further seasons of growth. As a member of the Asteraceae, the dahlia has a flower head that is actually a composite (hence the older name Compositae) with both central disc florets and surrounding ray florets. 13638

M&C Toy Centre "World Peacekeepers" Sniper (Mercenary) #13638
Found this awesome dude at my local Big Lots! They had the whole set available (as pictured on the back of the box), but I only grabbed this one. When do you ever see an Asian action figure? I'll definitely be going back to snatch up some others :D

Bridging science, philosophy, and cognition
Bohm's scientific and philosophical views seemed inseparable. In 1959, his wife Saral recommended to him a book by the Indian philosopher J. Krishnamurti that she had seen in a library. He found himself impressed by the way his own ideas on quantum mechanics meshed with the philosophical ideas of Krishnamurti. Bohm's approach to philosophy and physics receive expression in his 1980 book Wholeness and the Implicate Order, and in his 1987 book Science, Order and Creativity. Bohm and Krishnamurti went on to become close friends for over 25 years, with a deep mutual interest in philosophy and the state of humanity.
[edit] The holonomic model of the brain
Bohm also made significant theoretical contributions to neuropsychology and the development of the holonomic model of the functioning of the brain.[1] In collaboration with Stanford neuroscientist Karl Pribram, Bohm helped establish the foundation for Pribram's theory that the brain operates in a manner similar to a hologram, in accordance with quantum mathematical principles and the characteristics of wave patterns. These wave forms may compose hologram-like organizations, Bohm suggested, basing this concept on his application of Fourier analysis, a mathematical method for decomposing complex waves into component sine waves. The holonomic brain model developed by Pribram and Bohm posits a lens defined world view— much like the textured prismatic effect of sunlight refracted by the churning mists of a rainbow— a view which is quite different from the more conventional "objective" approach. Pribram held that if psychology means to understand the conditions that produce the world of appearances, it must look to the thinking of physicists like Bohm.[1]
[edit] Thought as a System
Bohm was alarmed by what he considered an increasing imbalance of not only 'man' and nature, but among peoples, as well as people, themselves. Bohm: "So one begins to wonder what is going to happen to the human race. Technology keeps on advancing with greater and greater power, either for good or for destruction." And he goes on to ask: "What is the source of all this trouble? I'm saying that the source is basically in thought. Many people would think that such a statement is crazy, because thought is the one thing we have with which to solve our problems. That's part of our tradition. Yet it looks as if the thing we use to solve our problems with is the source of our problems. It's like going to the doctor and having him make you ill. In fact, in 20% of medical cases we do apparently have that going on. But in the case of thought, it's far over 20%."
In Bohm's view: "the general tacit assumption in thought is that it's just telling you the way things are and that it's not doing anything - that 'you' are inside there, deciding what to do with the info. But you don't decide what to do with the info. Thought runs you. Thought, however, gives false info that you are running it, that you are the one who controls thought. Whereas actually thought is the one which controls each one of us."
"Thought is creating divisions out of itself and then saying that they are there naturally. This is another major feature of thought: Thought doesn't know it is doing something and then it struggles against what it is doing. It doesn't want to know that it is doing it. And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.'"
Bohm proposes thus in his book "Thought as a System" (TAS) a pervasive, systematic nature of thought:
What I mean by 'thought' is the whole thing - thought, 'felt', the body, the whole society sharing thoughts - it's all one process. It is essential for me not to break that up, because it's all one process; somebody else's thoughts becomes my thoughts, and vice versa. Therefore it would be wrong and misleading to break it up into my thoughts, your thoughts, my feelings, these feelings, those feelings... I would say that thought makes what is often called in modern language a system. A system means a set of connected things or parts. But the way people commonly use the word nowadays it means something all of whose parts are mutually interdependent - not only for their mutual action, but for their meaning and for their existence. A corporation is organized as a system - it has this department, that department, that department. They don't have any meaning separately; they only can function together. And also the body is a system. Society is a system in some sense. And so on.
Similarly, thought is a system. That system not only includes thoughts, 'felts' and feelings, but it includes the state of the body; it includes the whole of society - as thought is passing back and forth between people in a process by which thought evolved from ancient times. A system is constantly engaged in a process of development, change, evolution and structure changes...although there are certain features of the system which become relatively fixed. We call this the structure....Thought has been constantly evolving and we can't say when that structure began. But with the growth of civilization it has developed a great deal. It was probably very simple thought before civilization, and now it has become very complex and ramified and has much more incoherence than before.
Now, I say that this system has a fault in it - a 'systematic fault'. It is not a fault here, there or here, but it is a fault that is all throughout the system. Can you picture that? It is everywhere and nowhere. You may say "I see a problem here, so I will bring my thoughts to bear on this problem". But 'my' thought is part of the system. It has the same fault as the fault I'm trying to look at, or a similar fault.
Thought is constantly creating problems that way and then trying to solve them. But as it tries to solve them it makes it worse because it doesn’t notice that it's creating them, and the more it thinks, the more problems it creates. (P. 18-19)

M&C Toy Centre "World Peacekeepers" Sniper (Mercenary) #13638.
This dude's articulation is fabulous. It is very similar to the MTM Barbies and also reminds me of my Gi Joes. In fact, I think his articulation is better than both. He's also better proportioned than the Joes I have.
All clothes are removable except for his gloves, but that doesn't bother me. However, with the way the wrist joints looks, you might be able to remove his hands and swap them out with another "World Peacekeepers" figure.
His shoes can come off, too. But, his feet are much longer than Ken's, so he can't wear Ken shoes either vintage or new. I'll try some Ken clothes on him soon...
Edit:
Nope. He can't wear Ken clothes. Pants are too small in the waist and shirts are too small around the chest. The effort it takes to remove his shoes is ridicules. If I kept doing it, his ankle would eventually break. But, I really dig his attire so he'll be staying all original :D
Casa Batlló Paseo de Gracia, 43 Barcelona
obra del arquitecto Antoni Gaudí, que acomete la remodelación integral de un edificio pre-existente entre los años 1904 y 1906 propiedad del industrial Josep Batlló i Casanovas y construido en 1875 por Emili Sala Corté. Gaudí añadió la galería, los balcones, el desván y dos pisos adicionales así como toda la cerámica policroma. El patio interior se cubrió mediante un lucernario de hierro y cristal y se revistió de azulejo, que gradúa su color para un mejor aprovechamiento de la luz. El proyecto de fue cuestionado por las autoridades municipales por superar los límites de las ordenanzas municipales. El mobiliario, diseñado por Gaudí, se conserva actualmente en la Casa-Museo del Parque Güell.
Gaudí contó con la colaboración de Josep Maria Jujol, Joan Rubió i Bellver, Domènec Sugrañes y Josep Canaleta; y realizo la obra con los constructores Jaume y Josep Bayó i Font, con los herreros Lluís y Josep Badia i Miarnau; los ceramistas Pujol & Baucis, el vidriero Sebastià Ribó y el carpintero Casas & Bardés
La fachada, de piedra arenisca de Montjuïc, se revistió con cerámica policromada –el característico "trencadís"-, obtenida en los desechos de la vidriería Pelegrí. Conserva la forma rectangular de los balcones del edificio anterior compuestos con barandillas de hierro con forma de antifaz-, La fachada adquiere una forma ondulada en sentido ascendente y la culmina con una bóveda recubierta con cerámica vidriada en forma de escamas que recuerda el lomo de un dragón, una torre cilíndrica y la cruz gaudiniana de cuatro brazos. En la cubierta destacan las chimeneas revestidas de vidrio transparente y de cerámica, y rematadas por bolas de cristal transparente rellenas de arena de distintos colores. En el interior las columnas tienen forma ósea, con representaciones vegetales.
La Casa Batlló forma parte del Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la Unesco, dentro del Conjunto «Obras de Antoni Gaudí», también esta declarada Bien de Interés Cultural en su categoría de Monumento.
Ce week-end des 4 et 5 octobre, Infrabel effectuait des travaux sur la ligne 130. Les trains étaient dès lors remplacés par des bus entre Tamines et Namur.
C'est donc un exceptionnel IC 13638 "Liers - Namur", assuré par les "533" et "508", qui arrive ici à Andenne.
