San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, se encuentra localizado al Noroeste de la Comunidad de Madrid, en la vertiente sur oriental de la Sierra de Guadarrama.
Este entorno de singular belleza fue el elegido por el Rey Felipe II para construir el Monasterio de San Lorenzo de El Escorial, cumpliendo los deseos de su padre Carlos V de construir un Panteón Real que, en su tiempo, representó el espíritu de su imperio y la grandeza de la dinastía austriaca.
El rey concibió un gran complejo multifuncional, monacal y palaciego que, plasmado por su arquitecto Juan Bautista de Toledo según el paradigma de la Traza Universal, dio origen al estilo herreriano.
Se consideró desde finales del siglo XVI, la Octava Maravilla del Mundo, tanto por su tamaño y complejidad funcional, como por su enorme valor simbólico. Su arquitectura marcó el paso del plateresco renacentista al clasicismo desornamentado. Obra ingente, de gran monumentalidad, no sólo es un edificio de perfecta traza, sino también un enorme receptáculo de las demás artes.
Sus esculturas, pinturas, cantorales, ornamentos litúrgicos, pergaminos y demás objetos sacros, suntuarios y áulicos, hacen que El Escorial sea también un museo. Su compleja iconografía e iconología ha merecido las más variadas interpretaciones de admiradores, historiadores y críticos. El Escorial es la realización de las ideas y de la voluntad de su creador, Felipe II, un príncipe renacentista.
San Lorenzo es Historia y Arte. Del siglo XVI al XVIII, es muy interesante seguir el recorrido de la luz sobre la piedra, el antes y el ahora.

The day was splendid, was illuminating the radiant Sun, but suddenly these clouds were formed and there was a spectacular storm...

The St Lawrence of the Escorial, Heritage of the Humanity, is located northwest of the Community of Madrid, on the south side east of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
This environment of singular beauty was chosen by King Philip II to build the Monastery of The St Lawrence of the Escorial, fulfilling the wishes of his father Charles V to build a Royal Pantheon, in its time, represented the spirit of his government and the greatness of the Austrian dynasty.
The king conceived a great multipurpose complex, monastic and palatial, embodied by the architect Juan Bautista de Toledo as the paradigm of the Universal Trace, gave birth to the style of Herrera.
It was felt from the late sixteenth century, the Eighth Wonder of the World, both in size and functional complexity, and its enormous symbolic value. Its architecture marked the passage of Renaissance classicism plateresque desornamentado. Enormous work of great monuments, not only is a perfect building plots, but also a huge receptacle of the other arts.
His sculptures, paintings, choir, liturgical vestments, scrolls and other sacred objects, and courtly luxury, makes El Escorial is also a museum. Its complex iconography and iconology has received the most varied interpretations of admirers. historians and critics. El Escorial is the realization of ideas and the will of its creator, Philip II, a Renaissance prince.

San Lorenzo is History and Art. Sixteenth to the eighteenth century, it is very interesting to follow the path of light on the rock before and now.

Aggregation 12 - Chun Kwang Young (b.1944 Korea) by Caffe_Paradiso

14

Chun Kwang Young produces sculptural compositions made from small, hand-cut bits of Styrofoam wrapped in antique mulberry paper sourced from Korean periodicals and academic texts that have been tinted with teas, fruits and flowers. Often massive in scale, Chun’s highly tactile sculptures and three-dimensional canvasses are embedded with Korean tradition and history while articulated in a contemporary visual language. Although he began his career as a painter, Chun started to experiment with paper sculpture in the mid-1990s and over time his work has evolved in complexity and scale. The development of his signature technique was sparked by a childhood memory of seeing medicinal herbs wrapped in mulberry paper tied into small packages. Chun’s work subtly merges the techniques, materials and traditional sentiment of his Korean heritage with conceptual freedom he experienced during Western education.

.Tape.

Landon Everhart (WW): Mrs. Braithwaite, thank you for joining us today. To begin, what prompted your decision to run for a position on the Hogwarts Board of Governors?

Cecily Braithwaite (CB): It's a pleasure to speak with Witch Weekly. My decision to pursue a seat on the Board of Governors at Hogwarts stems from my lifelong commitment to magical scholarship and education. Hogwarts holds a special place in my heart—it's where my own magical journey began. I believe I have a wealth of experience and insights that could contribute significantly to shaping the future of this esteemed institution.

Landon Everhart: Your accomplishments in the field of magical scholarship are indeed extensive. How do you envision Hogwarts evolving under your guidance?

Cecily Braithwaite: Hogwarts is a beacon of magical learning, and I envision it continuing to uphold its tradition of excellence while embracing innovation. I believe in fostering an environment that encourages not just rote learning, but also critical thinking, exploration, and the study of ancient magical practices. My vision is to enrich the curriculum with a broader spectrum of magical studies, ensuring that Hogwarts prepares students for the complexities of the modern wizarding world.

Landon Everhart: Could you elaborate on the specific changes or additions you hope to implement within Hogwarts' curriculum?

Cecily Braithwaite: Certainly. I aim to advocate for the integration of more in-depth studies into ancient magical civilizations, arcane magical theory, and esoteric magical practices. These areas hold immense potential to broaden students' perspectives and deepen their understanding of magic's origins and complexities. Additionally, I believe in promoting interdisciplinary studies that bridge traditional magical subjects with real-world applications.

Landon Everhart: What sets you apart from the other candidates vying for a position on the Board of Governors?

Cecily Braithwaite: My lifelong dedication to magical scholarship, my extensive experience in advising magical institutions, and my commitment to nurturing the next generation of witches and wizards distinguish me. I bring not only a depth of knowledge but also a passion for fostering an inclusive and forward-thinking educational environment.

Landon Everhart: As an influential figure in the magical community, how do you plan to balance your scholarly pursuits with your role on the Board of Governors, if elected?

Cecily Braithwaite: My scholarly pursuits have always been intertwined with my dedication to education. If elected, I intend to continue my research endeavors while ensuring that my insights and experiences benefit Hogwarts. I believe my scholarly work will further enrich the educational landscape at Hogwarts, contributing to a more dynamic and comprehensive curriculum.

Jupiter's Southern Lights by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center

The complexity and richness of Jupiter's "southern lights" (also known as auroras) are on display in this animation of false-color maps from NASA's Juno spacecraft. Auroras result when energetic electrons from the magnetosphere crash into the molecular hydrogen in the Jovian upper atmosphere. The data for this animation were obtained by Juno's Ultraviolet Spectrograph.

The images are centered on the south pole and extend to latitudes of 50 degrees south. Each frame of the animation includes data from 30 consecutive Juno spins (about 15 minutes), just after the spacecraft's fifth close approach to Jupiter on February 2, 2017. The eight frames of the animation cover the period from 13:40 to 15:40 UTC at Juno. During that time, the spacecraft was receding from 35,000 miles to 153,900 miles (56,300 kilometers to 247,600 kilometers) above the aurora; this large change in distance accounts for the increasing fuzziness of the features.
