Lying, dishonesty and political manipulation are nothing new. In the age of digital mass communication, however, these machinations have become endemic. The war in Ukraine is also a war of mis/information and this war is going on daily across all our media. Some of us may feel helpless when it comes to separating truth from falsehood. But we are not that helpless. Whenever we are confronted with a political message, we can ask one basic question: who is talking and what question is being asked (and, usually) answered? This will help to detect the “agenda” of the message, identify its argument and understand the claim that has been made. If we wish to go deeper into the analysis, we can try to identify also the underlying assumptions of the message, check the evidence that has been quoted and see whether or not the message makes sense. We are not that helpless. We can be skeptical and make distinctions. We can reject what is false and keep what is true.
It would be unjust to describe my performance when confronted by my favourite woodland sugarcoated in hoar frost and light snow as running around like a headless chicken, I used my intimate knowledge of the wood to target area’s that were more enhanced by the conditions. However on looking back on my time using all the daylight hours afforded me in a Northumberland December, I don’t think I made best use of it. I feel I spread myself too thin, with the result I didn’t get the quality of photographs that these special conditions deserved and the odd keeper is supplemented with many examples of chaotic dross. Still I’ve been out too many times getting nothing to start complaining about a day where I captured 3 or 4 treasured memories. One of my favourites is this giant oak, stood in a frozen valley which doesn’t get any direct sunshine for a good 4 months of the year putting on a winter fashion show. I got a lot of snow down my wellies trying to carefully get in position to snap this beast strutting its stuff.

Very territorial little Lizard. He spotted me a long way off and ran to confront me. Immediately challenge me to a contest of pushups. He did about 45 or more in just a few seconds. I said "Okay Pal, you win. No contest." Feeling superior now, he hopped up on a rock about 6 feet away, and proceeded to challenge me once again, but this time did about 75, and waited for a response. I straightaway turned and walked away, in absolute defeat.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

“Il nostro rapporto con gli antichi è sostanzialmente doppio: da una parte, si è costruito attraverso un lungo e discontinuo processo storico di trasmissione intellettuale e artistica che ha plasmato la nostra cultura classica fra continuità, fratture e manipolazioni; dall’altra, ha talvolta preso la forma di un rapporto di immedesimazione, sviluppato con persone che, pur vissute molto tempo fa, hanno affrontato, come noi, tutte le vicende della vita, dalle più gioiose alle più drammatiche, e a queste hanno dato voci e forme che sono giunte fino a noi. Per questo, gli antichi ci sembrano allo stesso tempo lontani e vicini. La prima sala della mostra (Aula I - L’eternità di un istante) si apre con un reperto che più di tutti esplicita questo doppio rapporto: il calco di due vittime anonime dell’eruzione del Vesuvio che l’archeologia ci ha restituito come eternamente immobilizzate nell’istante della morte. Attorno ad esse invece, sono presentate diverse forme popolari e colte di reinterpretazione moderna dell’antico. La seconda sala (Aula II - La fama eterna degli eroi) esplora le forme della trasmissione e tradizione culturale dell’antichità attraverso l’arte e la letteratura: come i moderni hanno ereditato modi antichi di ostentare e rappresentare il potere, da Cesare a Cosimo da Medici; come i grandi cicli mitici - quelli omerici dell’Iliade e dell’Odissea – tramandati in varie forme fin dall’antichità, sono rimasti vivi nell’immaginario popolare contemporaneo; e come, al contrario, altre tradizioni mitiche siano cadute nell’oblio, e poi recuperate solo grazie alla riscoperta erudita e filologica della letteratura antica operata in età post-antica. Dal mito si passa, nell’Aula III (L’ordine del cosmos) alle rappresentazioni antiche dello spazio e del tempo, che prendono la forma di divinità, di personificazioni e di entità astratte che hanno dato origine alle nostre categorie spaziali e temporali. Così si conclude un primo percorso verso l’eternità - Aion - e l’ordine immutabile del mondo - il kosmos: tra le forme che gli antichi dettero a nozioni sovrumane come queste, spiccano alcuni reperti eccezionali che popolano questa sezione, come l’omphalos – l’ombelico del mondo – che si trovava nel grande santuario di Apollo a Delfi. Nella seconda parte del percorso, si illustra il rapporto intimo di immedesimazione che, malgrado la distanza culturale e temporale che ci separa dagli antichi, ce li rende vicinissimi ogni volta che identifichiamo le vicende delle loro vite con le nostre. Nell’Aula IV (Le opere e i giorni) si ricostruiscono, attraverso una serie di spettacolari scoperte recenti, importanti momenti della vita sociale, sia nella casa sia nella città, scandite da rituali privati e pubblici. L’antichità ha tramandato un’inesauribile varietà di modi di rappresentare l’individuo, dalle potenti statue-stele neolitiche alle raffinate composizioni classiche ed ellenistiche. Una scelta significativa di queste raffigurazioni è esposta nell’Aula V (Umani divini). Spiccano in particolare la monumentale statua femminile di Santorini, una della più antiche di tutta la scultura greca, esposta per la prima volta in assoluto al grande pubblico, la statua in bronzo dell’arringatore e uno dei giganti sardi di Mont’e Prama. Intorno a queste figure umane divinizzate, si segue il lungo percorso che porta il defunto nell’aldilà, sia attraverso le diverse raffigurazioni del rituale funerario, sia tramite le varie credenze nell’oltretomba che l’antichità ci ha tramandato. Accompagnano il visitatore in questo percorso di scoperta e confronto, alcune opere straordinariamente rappresentative, provenienti non solo dai principali musei italiani, nell’ambito del Sistema Museale Nazionale coordinato dalla Direzione Generale Musei, ma anche da importantissimi istituti della Grecia. Molte delle opere in mostra sono presentate al pubblico per la prima volta: nuove scoperte, come il carro da parata di Civita Giuliana e la statua di Ercole del Parco Archeologico dell’Appia Antica, nuove acquisizioni, come la Tabula Chigi del Museo Nazionale Romano, e soprattutto numerosi capolavori solitamente conservati nei depositi dei musei dell’Italia e della Grecia, come la statua di Santorini.”

Even during lockdown
We are somehow connected
We live on the same planet
We see the same sun
We see the same moon
We can communicate via the World Wide Web
We are confronted with the same viral danger
Let us stand together in spirit
Together we are strong

Confronting nuclear states, snap elections, what next?
We are just about to start Wednesday downunder but up north things are jumbled it seems. Best of luck with that but you wonder why a US news anchors is buying a farm in NZ. Do they know something?
Confronting a Personal Gatekeeper
In my mind, there is a gatekeeper that prevents me by holding me back from taking action. My personal gatekeeper keeps me from trying something new and keeps accomplishments out of reach.

Miglionico, in provincia di Matera.
Ha una costruzione rilevante, un castello del IX - X secolo d.c. chiamato "Castello del Malconsiglio".
Il nome deriva da una congiura ordita da feudatari locali nei confronti del Re di Napoli Ferdinando I d'Aragona, nota come "congiura dei Baroni".
Correva l'anno 1485 quando nel castello del Malconsiglio si riunirono il Re ed i Baroni ribelli e, a questi il Re sembrò concedere ogni pretesa; salvo poi l'anno seguente invitarli a Napoli con un artifizio e trucidarli in un altro castello, il maschio angioino.
Dal 1485 il castello di Miglionico è quindi noto come quello del Malconsiglio.
La foto è relativa alla coorte interna del castello del Malconsiglio molto lineare, con singolari giochi prospettici e particolari geometrie.

La Fosse et le puits, ouvrages hydrauliques, ont été construits vers 1730 pour approvisionner en haut les habitants du village situé sur un plateau sec. Les gens étaient confrontés à une pénurie d'eau et chaque famille devait avoir sa citerne. Les lavandières venaient laver le linge à la fosse sur des pierres à lessive dont certaines subsistent encore. Le puits qui a toujours été à sec est en restauration ainsi que la fosse grâce à la Fondation du Patrimoine.

La Mésange charbonnière est une grande mésange, la plus grande de celles auxquelles nous sommes confrontés dans l'ouest du continent. Elle est remarquable par sa tête noire à larges joues blanches. L'œil très sombre est noyé dans ce noir. Le dessus du corps, manteau et dos, est verdâtre avec une zone plus claire sur la nuque. Les ailes et la queue sombres sont d'un gris nettement nuancé de bleu. Une barre alaire blanche se distingue sur les grandes couvertures alaires. Les parties inférieures sont jaunes mais s'éclaircissent vers la queue. L'arrière des flancs est gris. Le bas-ventre et les sous-caudales sont blancs avec un trait noir médian sur ces dernières. Un bandeau noir médio-ventral court de la gorge au ventre, large et d'un noir profond chez le mâle adulte, plus restreint et plus irrégulier chez la femelle. Ce dimorphisme sexuel n'est évident que chez les adultes. En vue de dessous, la queue paraît bordée de blanc. Ce blanc sur les rectrices externes est bien visible en vol lorsque la queue est ouverte. Le bec est noir et les pattes sont d'un gris bleuté.
Le juvénile a des couleurs plus ternes que celles de l'adulte. Le noir de la tête est mat. Les joues sont lavées de jaune. Le bandeau noir ventral est à peine indiqué. Il faut attendre la mue post-juvénile pour que le plumage soit plus conforme à ce qu'on attend de l'espèce.
Il existe, ou plutôt existait car la situation taxonomique a changé, de très nombreuses sous-espèces (36) de Mésange charbonnière, sensu lato, qui diffèrent surtout par la coloration. La sous-espèce major qui occupe l'Europe continentale, très colorée comme on l'a vu plus haut, se situe à l'extrémité occidentale d'un cline qui en Extrême-Orient donne des sous-espèces comme cinereus ou nipalensis qui ont perdu le jaune du plumage et sont entièrement en noir, blanc et nuances de gris. Ces dernières ont été récemment élévées au rang d'espèces, ce qui fait que le nombre actuel de sous-espèces de Parus major stricto sensu est de 16.

Serramazzoni, provincia di Modena, Appennino Tosco-emiliano. Pineta sopra il paese. E' inverno, è freddo ma non troppo, usciamo a fare una passeggiata. Porto con me la mia Canon analogica, la luce è buona, c'è su un Kodak 400 TMax, magari si riesce a fare qualche scatto carino. Mia figlia corre spensierata davanti a noi, conosce i luoghi, non c'è nessuno. Si ferma ad aspettarci, nel bel mezzo del vialetto, ai suoi fianchi pini enormi, altissimi, soprattutto in confronto a lei, piccina. E scatto.
Dopo mesi, in estate, terminato il rullino, vado a farlo sviluppare. Non dispongo di una camera oscura purtroppo, dunque mi affido. Non vedo l'ora di vedere le immagini, neanche ricordo più cosa ho scattato. Il digitale, da questo punto di vista, è molto meno... soddisfacente. Il risultato subito è comodo, sì, ma vuoi mettere il gusto dell'attesa...
Ecco qui. Questo è uno dei tanti.
Sono contento.
E inserisco un altro rullo nella Canon.

Gatotkaca confronts Karna, the owner of the Kontawijaya weapon. He created a thousand twins of himself, making Karna feel confused. On Batara Surya's instructions, Karna managed to find the real Gatotkaca. He then fired his Konta weapon at Gatotkaca. Gatotkaca tried to avoid it by flying as high as possible. However, Kalabendana's spirit suddenly appeared to catch Kontawijaya while delivering news from heaven that Gatotkaca's death had been determined that night. Gatotkaca, who resigned himself to his fate, advised that his corpse could be used to kill enemies. Kalabendana agreed, then stabbed Gatotkaca's navel using a Konta weapon. The heirloom merged with the scabbard, namely the mastaba wood which was still stored in Gatotkaca's stomach. After Gatotkaca died, Kalabendana's spirit threw his body at Karna. Because he managed to jump and escape death. However, the train was shattered into pieces by Gatotkaca's body. The fragments of the train shot in all directions and killed the Korawa soldiers around it.
Confronting theme! Being a nurse and a mom, i value my health highly, ... but yet i have to admit i don't drink enough water, i hardly eat vegetables and fruit, i hate sports, stay up too late, go in the sun without protection ...
Monday is a good day to make a change and start eating more fruit ... cause i do cherish my health!
Opening the front door to commence my walk, I was confronted with this rather exceptional display of Jack's craft covering the entirety of my full length storm door window. Needless to say, I stopped to take a number of photos, not really knowing on which section to focus. And after spending an inordinate amount of time trying to decide, I still don't. Thus, this is what you get. I was going to do a series of additional views of different sections in comments, but frustration defeated interest. (Some of you may know the feeling.) Suffice it to say that it was a uniquely well defined and impressive effect, diminishing and vanishing rather quickly as the heat from inside impacted the ideal conditions which had formed it.

Prayer Before An Election
Lord God, as the election approaches,
we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country,
and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community.
We ask for eyes that are free from blindness
so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters,
one and equal in dignity,
especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty.
We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned,
Men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender.
We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom.
We pray for discernment
so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word,
live your love,
and keep in the ways of your truth
as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles
and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

In confronto al Regionale, in cui stamattina si era tutti ammassati,un po' tipo carro bestiame, l'Intercity è un'altra cosa : comode poltrone, finestrini puliti, e sembra che corra. Così è anche piacevole viaggiare. Anche perché di sera è quasi completamente vuoto.

"You confront me."
"I thought you wanted me to. I mean I thought I was doing what you wanted me to. You... you know and... and... and we don't even have to. My cab is ready. I can just leave and we can always meet later. Just, just call. OK? I'm staying with Phil. You have his number, don't you? You do. You do. Call and we'll meet... where... wherever... you want. It's really all up to you. That might even be better. Anything. I... I... I don't know. I... I... I don't, I don't mind really. Whatever. I mean you call and let me know. I'll stay with Phil a few days. I'll let you know... where... where I'd go after. You want me to. Right? I mean I know, I know you want that. That's what we need. That's what we should do. Hey, what do you say? Huh? Isn't that better? I thought we'd go out for lunch today but that's all right. You stay in. Do whatever and we'll meet again. Just call, just..."

Artico: ultima frontiera
L’Artico, terra lontana, bianca di ghiacci e di freddi silenzi, sta cambiando. Il clima definisce nuove realtà per il Circolo Polare Artico e il riscaldamento globale apre la via a un nuovo colonialismo: il progressivo scioglimento dei ghiacci aprirebbe un nuovo mondo di risorse, più veloci rotte via mare e via terra e molte possibilità di sfruttamento delle risorse naturali.
La mostra fotografica ARTICO. ULTIMA FRONTIERA, in programma fino al 25 marzo alla Triennale di Milano, permette di capire cosa sta succedendo al Circolo Polare e quali impatti avrebbero i cambiamenti per le popolazioni locali e per l’ambiente.
Curata da Dennis Curti e Marina Aliverti presenta 60 fotografie in bianco e nero scattate da tre maestri della fotografia di reportage: Paolo Solari Bozzi (Roma, 1957), Ragnar Axelsson (Kopavogur, Islanda, 1958) e Carsten Egevang (Taastrup, Danimarca, 1969). La rassegna è un’indagine approfondita, attraverso tre angolazioni diverse, su un’ampia regione del Pianeta, che comprende la Groenlandia, la Siberia e l’Islanda, e sulla vita della popolazione Inuit, di sole 150.000 persone, costrette ad affrontare, nella loro esistenza quotidiana, le difficoltà di un ambiente ostile. «In queste immagini», afferma Denis Curti, «l’imminenza del riscaldamento globale si fa urgenza, mentre si apre un confronto doloroso in cui l’uomo e le sue opere vengono inghiottiti dall’immensa potenza della natura. Bellezza e avversità sono i concetti su cui si fonda questo progetto, con una mostra che intende riportare l’attenzione sui paesaggi naturali e le tematiche ambientali dei nostri giorni».
