This is a photo of my brother and his wife's wedding day. Seeing the progression of their relationship and commitment to one another has only furthered my desire to have a marriage of my own one day. As stated before I was unsure of my deserving but with my new outlook I want to share that commitment, trust, teamwork and love with another individual and hope to start a family with them. This is important to me as family is a huge part of my life and I spend a lot of my time with my family. I would love to start another family of my own and help my current family grow. Spreading love and joining people together is something I look forward to in my future.

Elvert Barnes 57th Anniversary of 1963 March on Washington COMMITMENT MARCH docu-project at elvertbarnes.com/57MOW2020

May 13, 2019 - "Since 1939, SC Johnson's corporate architecture has become a must-see for people who appreciate great design. Among the wonders on our campus, the most recent addition is our award-winning Fortaleza Hall, a loving tribute to two pioneering company leaders: H.F. Johnson, Jr. and Sam Johnson. As our Chairman and CEO Fisk Johnson explained at its opening, “This building is intended to inspire us, to be a special place to remind us of our sense of adventure. It is a symbol of our unique history of innovation, creativity and progressive attitude.”

 

Opened in 2010, Fortaleza Hall also reflects our commitment to sustainability — both in our buildings and in the many household products that we make.

Fortaleza Hall is a celebration of the life-changing 1935 journey to Brazil by H.F. Johnson, Jr., third-generation company leader. Sam Johnson, his son, retraced that adventure six decades later, discovering powerful insights along the way about the power of family.

 

World-renowned architect Norman Foster designed the structure as a tribute to the journeys and the men who led them, and as a contemporary partner to the Frank Lloyd Wright buildings on our campus. It incorporates glass and light, rounded shapes and edges, interplay between interior and exterior, soaring stone columns and innovative design.

 

The 60,000-square-foot facility actually includes two companion buildings: Fortaleza Hall provides a historical context for our company as we continue moving forward into the future. The connected Community Building provides our campus a vibrant social heart, offering a gathering place for employees to meet, share ideas, relax in the cafeteria and work out at the gym.

 

Fortaleza Hall earned a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in 2011.

You can feel the impact of Fortaleza Hall’s inspiring design from the moment you spot the building. As you look through the facade’s large rounded glass, soaring at the heart of the hall hangs Carnaúba – the replica Sikorsky S-38 plane that Sam Johnson flew on the 1998 expedition from Racine, Wisconsin to Fortaleza, Brazil.

 

Beneath the plane, a mosaic map traces the path from Racine to Fortaleza, and etched concrete murals depict a Brazilian palm forest. The map was created using 19,200 three-inch pieces of four different types of sustainably harvested wood. The murals feature 8,000 square feet of precast white concrete with rasterized images of Brazilian palms. The images were recreated from a photo series captured in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

 

The space comes to life with a soundscape of the sounds of Brazil. Flora, fauna, street life and wildlife combine in a uniquely designed sound experience that syncs with the time of day. It also features one of the first permanent Patrick Blanc-designed vertical garden walls in the U.S. Measuring 49 feet wide by 18 feet high, the garden features 79 species of living plants and nearly 2,500 plants in total.

Inside Fortaleza Hall, our Legacy Gallery tells stories of the Johnson family leaders, the company’s history, the Carnaúba expeditions to Brazil and more. Two grand staircases that line the building are dedicated to H.F. and Sam, with inspiring quotes that honor their influence on the company’s values and growth.

 

Among them is H.F.’s enduring sentiment that “Every community where we operate should be a better place because we are there.” For generations, this philosophy has encouraged philanthropy and volunteerism in our communities around the globe.

 

At the heart of the space, below the soaring Carnaúba plane, is one of Sam’s most beloved and inspiring observations…that “We should not worry about whether we have lived up to the expectations of our fathers, but whether we, as fathers, have lived up to the expectations of our children.”

 

This realization, which struck Sam during the 1998 expedition to Brazil, is part of the powerful story of the film Carnauba: A Son’s Memoir. It is shown during our free headquarters campus tours.

 

Come see our award-winning architecture for yourself. We offer free public tours that include Fortaleza Hall and our iconic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings.

 

We hope you’ll find both the structures and the stories behind them as inspiring as we do." Previous text from the following website: tps://www.scjohnson.com/en/a-family-company/architecture-and-tours/architectural-design-soars-at-sc-johnsons-award-winning-fortaleza-hall

The Paris climate agreement, recently signed onto by 196 countries, is a milestone in recognizing the threat posed by climate change and securing collective commitment to hold global temperature rise to “well below 2 degrees Celsius.” The task now is to translate this ambitious commitment into a concrete implementation agenda.

 

On June 7, the Global Economy and Development program at Brookings hosted a high-level panel which included eminent climate expert Lord Nicholas Stern*; World Bank Managing Director Sri Mulyani Indrawati*; University of Maryland Dean of Public Policy and longtime climate advisor Robert Orr; as well as Vice President Kemal Dervis and Senior Fellow Amar Bhattacharya of the Global Economy and Development program. The panel assessed the challenges as well as the opportunities in implementing the Paris climate agreement.

 

*Lord Nicholas Stern is co-chair and Sri Mulyani Indrawati is global commissioner of the Global Commission on the New Climate Economy.

Climate Leaders Summit 2009.

Climate Leaders Summit Opening Commitment Session.

President Jean-Paul Huchon, Île-de-France.

This is Vegas, and we’re obviously about that EDM life. But instead of tattooing it on our tightly sculpted derrières, we’re commemorating our undying commitment with a 40-foot tribute to the way it makes us feel. Ladies and gentlemen, meet 7,500 pounds of stainless steel, swaying to the beat, Bliss Dance.

 

Created by artist Marco Cochrane over the course of a year and a half (we can’t even commit to going to the gym for that long), she represented the feminine energy he experienced at the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert. A little place we like to call “the middle of effing nowhere.”

 

Cochrane’s team of rock star welders worked with hand-cut steel rod before 3,000 LED lights – you read that correctly – 3,000 LED lights were installed to illuminate the statue from the inside. Hopefully, the symbolization of a woman glowing from within didn’t just go over your head.

 

In a collaborative approach to creativity, Cochrane allowed his female model to choose the pose she liked best and created the mold from it. The result is a statue frozen in an ultra transcendent pose, clearly experiencing that moment when the beat drops and takes you out of your body, making it impossible to think. So you just feel.

 

The artist, and women’s advocate, wanted to celebrate the appreciation and respect he has for females sans sexual objectification. In a town where scantily clad ladies are plastered on the sides of taxi cabs and party buses, this is saying something. Cochrane created Bliss Dance to be a symbol of women who are completely free from harm, a moment in time when their energy, happiness and power are elevated beyond the physical. Yeah, that’s deep.

 

Bliss Dance is the centerpiece of The Park between the New York-New York and Monte Carlo. This six-acre outdoor promenade features the T-Mobile Arena, several dining and bar options, outdoor seating and architectural features like water walls and shade structures that were made in the Netherlands.

Gluing d4's to your head.

BK Adams is an American visual artist and sculptor. He has produced commissions, fine art and paintings with no commitment to any one particular style – other than his own.

 

In the early days of his career, Adams focused on monumental sculptures for alternative art spaces. Nearly all of Adams’ work implores a visual movement of avant-garde expressionist abstract; using textiles, metalworks, fiberglass and traditional canvas as well as photorealistic monochromes. His colorful, expressive workmanship reflects a life’s journey with a specialty collection that embodies Washington DC’s rich history and culture.

Adams held his first solo gallery show at his art studio, a whimsical kaleidoscopic showroom, known simply as “I Am Art…”. His “unique” persona visualizes the physical activity of painting and from a distance he appears illustrated; where his bold eye wear

, signature paint splattered denim and colorful clogs are an extension of his artistry.

Adams’ brightly-colored “Blue Horse” sculpture (foil and acrylic paint), is a permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). As Adams became more recognized, his work has been compared to that of Robert Rauschenberg and Sam Gilliam.

 

To date, Adams’ largest compilation has been 50 pieces that included towering sculptures, large-scale paintings and photographs. His exhibitions have appeared in the Honfleur Gallery, Smithsonian Institution collection of Museums, Telluride, Colorado, the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, among others.

My annual weekend trip to London, which gives me Saturday afternoon, evening and Sunday morning out and about wandering where ever I want to go. My daughters (and a coach load of ladies) are on the trip so I do have some other commitments on Saturday evening. Travelling at the beginning of November we were earlier than previous years so, although the decorations were in place, London wasn't as colourful as previous visits. I had decided to walk across to Little Venice as it isn't far from our hotel at Marble Arch and I hadn't been before. Having walked along the canal at home all summer chasing wildlife I wasn't impressed by a canal in London, it was windy so no reflections in the water and I left fairly soon. I'd seen Paddington Rail Station on the map not far away so I headed there. I got my camera out for the first time, it was fairly quiet and there weren't any restrictions on cameras (as far as I could see) I made eye contact with quite a few of the staff and smiled and nodded, as I would back home, and got quite a pleasant reception, no worries about me and my backpack and camera. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the station was. I did a nine mile circle taking in Hyde Park , Piccadilly, Regent Street and Oxford Street. The London to Brighton run was on the following day so Regent Street was shut with many of the cars and loads of other transport related stuff on display. It was busy and the light was going so I didn't bother taking many photos. The cars were leaving Hyde Park just down the road from our hotel at dawn on Sunday but I couldn't muster enough enthusiasm to walk down even though I was up early. I grabbed some window and people shots on Oxford Street. Some of the Christmas displays were already in place, most notably Selfridge's, some of the displays were behind temporary work barriers as a new pavement was being laid and I couldn't get to the window, I decided to go back on Sunday morning and climb over them-which I did, Oxford street was very quiet just after 8.00 am and I got my shots.

  

On Sunday I walked a ten mile circle out to the Thames South Bank, on to the Shard and Tower Bridge. I went across in to The City and wound my way back to Hyde Park. We had really good journeys both ways and the coach driver did the journey home without a break, he was able to get back to the depot and park up inside his 4 1/2 hours driving time which I think is a first in 16 years. I walked home from Slaithwaite and rounded my weekend mileage to twenty miles, this is the furthest I've walked since I had reconstructive surgery on my right foot at the end of February. I wasn't particularly fired up for the trip after one of the most difficult years I can remember-and that's saying something-so I struggled to find something to get enthused about which is probably why I didn't take any photos at Little Venice and very few at Regents Street.
