Domains of Wonder

On a visit to the city governed by their evil uncle, Krishna and his brother Balarama encountered an arrogant washerman who refused to lend them city clothes. He then insulted them by denigrating them as rustic country folk. This scene depicts the moment after Krishna decapitated the washerman with his finger. The cowherds then selected garments from the bundle while ladies admire the handsome brothers from high windows."""

This cloth banner celebrates the electoral victory of Thomas Jefferson over John Adams in the presidential election of 1800. The banner is believed to be one of the earliest surviving textiles carrying partisan imagery, created at the dawn of the first American party system in which power passed from Federalists to Jeffersonian Republicans. Its imagery celebrates Jefferson's electoral victory, while denigrating Adams, his opponent. The banner pictures Jefferson's likeness below an eagle with a streamer in its beak that proclaims, "T. Jefferson President of the United States of America / John Adams is no more."

Fun facts: this was the first inauguration held in Washington, D.C. and Jefferson broke precedent by walking to and from his swearing-in ceremony, rather than riding in a carriage as predecessors had done.

Conservative columnist and future CNN co-host Kathleen Parker posted a column on Wednesday entitled "Obama: Our first female president" in which she argues that the President "displays many tropes of femaleness."

As unbelievably offensive on so many levels this is, it’s to be expected. Parker displays a common trait of con women - garnering self worth through the denigration of all things female.

pentax takumar 55m F2 lens test on eos 550D. As you can see I had problems with the focus.

Its a great lens when you suss the focus!

There is no VR or IS so you need fastish shutter speeds to compensate.

My verdict

Build quality 10/10

You know these are very good quality as soon as you pick one up and fiddle around with it using the focus and aperture etc.

Made of metal and smooth as silk, ,make no mistake these lenses are CLASS!

Lens sharpness 8/10 I'm maybe denigrating it here but I did have trouble focussing the thing.

I have used taks and super taks before and I do like them

Practibility..7/10. You lose autofocus obviously and it is awkward trying to get the focus crack on.

You also need to buy an adapter. No problem at all if you dont mind it,

Value for money 10/10 these can be had dirt cheap secondhand on ebay.

I'd give 11 out of 10 if it were possible!

(History.com) July 5, 1921 - After Judge Hugo Friend denies a motion to quash the indictments against the major league baseball players accused of throwing the 1919 World Series, a trial begins with jury selection. The Chicago White Sox players, including stars Shoeless Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, and Eddie Cicotte, subsequently became known as the “Black Sox” after the scandal was revealed.

The White Sox, who were heavily favored at the start of the World Series, had been seriously underpaid and mistreated by owner Charles Comiskey. The conspiracy to fix the games was most likely initiated by first baseman Chick Gindiland small-time gambler Josep Sullivan. Later, New York gambler Arnold Rothstein reluctantly endorsed it.The schemersused the team’s discontent totheir advantage: Through intermediaries,Rothstein offered relatively small sums of money for the players to lose some of the games intentionally. The scandal came to light when the gamblers did not pay the players as promised, thinking that they had no recourse. But when the players openly complained, the story became public and authorities were forced to prosecute them.

The trial against the players was actually just for show. After a tacit agreement whereby the players assented not to denigrate major league baseball or Comiskey in return for an acquittal, the signed confessions from some of the players mysteriously disappeared from police custody.

The jury acquitted all of the accused players and then celebrated with them at a nearby restaurant. But the height of the hypocrisy surrounding the entire matter came when Shoeless Joe was forced to sue Comiskey for unpaid salary. During this trial, Comiskey’s lawyers suddenly produced the confessions that had disappeared during the criminal trial, with no explanation as to how they had been obtained.

Arnold Rothstein never even faced trial, and Comiskey hoped to go back to business as usual. However, all did not end well for everyone. Other baseball owners, hoping to remove any hint that the games were illegitimate, hired Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis to be the new commissioner of baseball. Landis was a hard-liner (and also a racist—he prevented blacks from playing in the major leagues during his reign into the 1940s) who then permanently barred the implicated Black Sox players from baseball.

Landis’ decision has come under considerable criticism for its unfairness to a few of the players. Buck Weaver, by all accounts, had refused to take any money offered by the gamblers. He was purportedly banned from baseball for refusing to turn his teammates in. And although Shoeless Joe Jackson probably accepted some money, his statistics show that he never truly participated in throwing the games—he had the best batting average of either team in the series.

African-American women suffered the insults levelled against the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team who he spoke of in a derogatory manner. This racist attitude is reflective of American media as a whole, which is dominated by capitalist corporations who thrive on the denigration of African peoples.

Drawing as Design Process (Amazon) by Peter Olpe has one of the most beautiful book covers I have ever seen. Repetition, gesture, pencil, paper. That's it. Gorgeous!

The book itself is pretty amazing as well. It is a critical discussion--mostly through imagery--of the necessity of hand drawing and sketching in a digital world yet it never denigrates the digital. It goes out of its way to make the point that digital should not be allowed to remove the designer from the design process. More often than not, the designer will avoid making design decisions by "leaving it up to the computer." In this way, many modern designers shirk the responsibilities of authorship in their work.

From Judge Jones' Kitzmiller, et al. v. Dover School District, et al..Memorandum and Order:

To preserve the separation of church and state mandated by the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and Art. I, § 3 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, we will enter an order permanently enjoining Defendants from maintaining the ID Policy in any school within the Dover Area School District, from requiring teachers to denigrate or disparage the scientific theory of evolution, and from requiring teachers to refer to a religious, alternative theory known as ID. We will also issue a declaratory judgment that Plaintiffs’ rights under the Constitutions of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have been violated by Defendants’ actions. Defendants’ actions in violation of Plaintiffs’ civil rights as guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the United States and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 subject Defendants to liability with respect to injunctive and declaratory relief, but also for nominal damages and the reasonable value of Plaintiffs’ attorneys’ services and costs incurred in vindicating Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.

[It is] abundantly clear that the Board’s ID Policy violates the Establishment Clause. In making this determination, we have addressed the seminal question of whether ID is science. We have concluded that it is not, and moreover that ID cannot uncouple itself from its creationist, and thus religious, antecedents.

Both Defendants and many of the leading proponents of ID make a bedrock assumption which is utterly false. Their presupposition is that evolutionary theory is antithetical to a belief in the existence of a supreme being and to religion in general. Repeatedly in this trial, Plaintiffs’ scientific experts testified that the theory of evolution represents good science, is overwhelmingly accepted by the scientific community, and that it in no way conflicts with, nor does it deny, the existence of a divine creator.

[T]the fact that a scientific theory cannot yet render an explanation on every point should not be used as a pretext to thrust an untestable alternative hypothesis grounded in religion into the science classroom or to misrepresent well-established scientific propositions.

The citizens of the Dover area were poorly served by the members of the Board who voted for the ID Policy. It is ironic that several of these individuals [...] would time and again lie to cover their tracks and disguise the real purpose behind the ID Policy.

[O]ur conclusion today is that it is unconstitutional to teach ID as an alternative to evolution in a public school science classroom.

[T]his case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy. The breathtaking inanity of the Board’s decision is evident when considered against the factual backdrop which has now been fully revealed through this trial. The students, parents, and teachers of the Dover Area School District deserved better than to be dragged into this legal maelstrom, with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources.

The "Traitors Arms" made c1460 on the orders of Lancastrian Queen Margaret of Anjou, which uses coats of arms not to honour , but to denigrate her Yorkist enemy , and is a reminder of the violent conflict between the Houses of Lancaster and York during the Wars of the Roses (and also Margaret's vindictive nature).

This was after the Parliament of Devils in December 1459 had declared Richard Duke of York and his followers to be traitors. Henry VI's queen, Margaret of Anjou, insisted that Parliament pass an 'attainder' against Richard and his Neville in-laws. Richard's wife Cecily Neville was forced to attend Parliament to witness her family's disgrace.

It was discovered in the ruins of Ashperton Manor, possibly hidden there by Lancastrian diehards after the Yorkist victory at Mortimers Cross in 1461

It was probably not unique at the time, and this design may have been repeated in carvings and paintings to be displayed throughout the Lancastrian territories. Ashperton had been Lancastrian for generations,but it bordered Yorkist territory to the north and west. . The village was also situated on a major trade route between England and Wales and since the arms were carved for propaganda purposes, they would have been displayed to travellers on the roadside & mounted on the village green as a rallying point for Lancastrian loyalists whilst discouraging Yorkist incursions into their lands. At that time even an illiterate peasant would have understood its meaning.

It is however unique now as all other examples showing their family's disgrace, were destroyed by the Yorkist kings Edward lV & Richard lll

Its meaning was lost and as it was later thought to mock the monarchy in general, it was named instead "the defiance"

(Clockwise from noon)

CROWNED HELM = Richard Duke of York; his shield reversed, under a paper crown

4 ROSES at the top of the shield - Edward lV, Edmund, George & Richard lll (Richard's sons) ;

BEAR = Richard Nevile, Earl o f Warwick the Kingmaker (York's nephew) whose emblem was the bear & ragged staff

SEA MONSTER = William Neville, Lord Fauconberg (Richard's brother in law) whose emblem was a fish hook it also alludes to his piracy exploits

HORSES = Henry & Humphrey Bourchier (Richard's nephews) both attainded with him, who used the bridled horse as their emblem

4 ROSES on dexter side of the shield = William, John, Edward & Thomas Bourchier (Richard's nephews)\)

NASTY (a spectral figure) = Joan Beaufort +++ (Richard's mother in law) who was illegitimate when born to John of Gaunt & his mistress Katherine Swynford and later legitimatised , this flaw according to Margaret of Anjou made the Yorkists a bastard line.

RAT - Cecily Neville (Richard's wife) daughter of Joan Beaufort +++ Known as "Proud Cis" The rat is a symbol of female lasciviousness, and also in this case the impurity of her bloodline

4 ROSES on the distaff side of the shield = Henry, William, John & Thomas (Richard's dead infant sons)

SQUIRREL = Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury (Richard's brother in law) The squirrel in heraldy symbolised the devil, it was also Richard Neville's crest emlemising prudence - Church of St. Bartholomew, Ashperton Herefordshire

We all know how difficult change of attitude, even if it means to follow a better path.

The brain runs automatically and fast neural pathways have formed long ago. So do what is usual in so easy. But when it comes to forming a new neuronal path, a new synapse, it takes time and effort to learning. It's like when we learn to drive. First, we must pay attention to every detail, then drive without having to think about what we are doing.

So is the mental attitude when you think and react in a certain way it becomes familiar and our reaction is automatic. For example, the habit of feeling a target for external attacks. Because we often experienced abuse in relation to ourselves, we know the role of scapegoat. However, we are not always being attacked, but we feel easy target of attacks outside ... Identify when it is actually occurring, and our habit of feeling attacked is the first task of self-knowledge. The second it comes out to learn more quickly from the battlefield! Whether real or imagined ...

Pema Chodron said in a lecture on happiness (see True Happiness at www.amazon.com) on three states that we're facing the changes.

The first is when we understand that a mental attitude makes us sick, then got out of it automatically. The second, when we already know that harms us, but we are convinced that we are partially able to change, and the third, when we know that harms us, but we believe it is impossible to change.

In the first state, fails to act in a negative mode no longer requires more effort, it became a choice. How to give up to torture us, to feel frustrated when faced with certain mental attitude, every time it comes up naturally to identify and seek effective solutions to make it.

For example, resentment. Whenever we realize we are resentful, remember to choose to have this attitude of feeling harmed. This memory is the intuitive wisdom that tells us: Look for an exit, hop, walk away.

In the second state, although we are convinced that a certain mental attitude is negative, we feel inclined to stay there. Is because we still have the hope to reap some benefits from this approach or because we feel so familiar with it, that is, it is as much a part of us, that we doubt if we can change.

Easily find ourselves trapped in this state, pressured by expectations of being who idealized self and reality in which we find ourselves.

We may have already understood that cultivating the attitude that we should or could do it and what is useless, if not put into practice. Living in a constant state parole leads us to distance ourselves from ourselves! After all, when we are in the custody of idealizations demanding we cease to feel real to ourselves!

But even though I know that nothing helps blaming ourselves, put ourselves down, we still lack the ability to change.

In this second state of mind, the output is to seek the middle way: not too much in demand, not denigrate us. Thus, this state of half confidence can become a possible starting point. In it, we begin to develop self-pity. Thus, we become more flexible and sympathetic in relation to ourselves and others. Slowly but gently, the road begins to open up blocked.

Pema Chodron emphasizes that this time is important to remember that no matter whether or not we consider worthy of change, because the choice to change is not a moral issue based on the trial or not worthy of happiness, but the choice to improve and progress , ie to make the leap.

Finally, we have the third state: When we understand that change is necessary and could bring us something positive, but simply do not believe we are capable of change.

We're stuck in this state as we still believe that this attitude will bring us some benefit, even if fleeting. There is something that comforts us at the thought of not having to struggle to change. Thus, while not feeling anxious, we remain as we are. However, inevitably, sooner or later, we are touched by the pain of such a negative mental attitude. So every time you feel desperate again, we are more skeptical that we can find a way out. It's a vicious circle: we suffer, we sit with the suffering and the pain again, more and more ...

So not worth cultivating this third state. One way to move this state without output for the second-half of the confidence-is to recognize the moments, even fleeting, well-being.

The antidote is self-pity: the awakening desire to redeem the suffering itself. Thus, we gradually become receptive to receiving help, either others or ourselves, that is, when we recognize we have internal resources that were not using.

Even though it is difficult to change a negative pattern, we have no other choice if we want to continue suffering!

We are not doomed to suffer forever. Indeed, the only virtue of the negativity is that it too is impermanent!

Don Imus was terminated from CBS Radio on April 12. However, his brand of racist and sexist radio is indicative of the corporate-controlled media in the United States. The capitalist press seeks to denigrate nationally oppressed groups and women in order to maintain the status-quo by psychologically disempowering the popular masses.

I am an artist. A photographer. A creator. An explorer. I am an eternally evolving, endlessly growing soul attempting to sort it all out. Sometimes I fight it. Sometimes I roll with it. I am constantly amazed at the twists and turns my journey has taken, which makes me wonder why I put up such a fight along the way. It's taken me years of looking at what I wasn't, to be able to own today what I am.

If I'd told you I was a traveller, I'd have also told you that I'd never been to South America and hadn't been to a new country in years. If I'd told you I was a photographer, I'd have also told you that I got a C in Photo 101 shooting only on auto for years. If I told you I was an artist, I'd have pointed out my terrible my drawing skills and how I could barely nail down photorealism in art school. And if you'd asked me five years ago who I was, I would have lined up a row of excuses for my less than stellar station in life. Funny that. Because deep, down, I desperately wanted to succeed. But in this fruitless quest, all I achieved was emphasizing my failures and denigrating my accomplishments. After all, I didn't have a huge salary behind me, only list of experiences that didn't count for much on a resume.

Owning ourselves isn't easy, but by embracing our journey and having the courage to step into the unknown in a celebration of all life has to offer, both failures and successes, well, that's when the magic happens. Besides, who defines failure anyway? Society? Your family? Your boss? Believe me, they're too busy with their own issues to worry about...or they should be.

So I am constantly changing, constantly failing and constantly growing so that I can constantly succeed. For reals. No more excuses. No more apologies. No more self-recrimination. And I'll tell you a little secret that I've figured out on my own: you are too. You are a magnificent creator on an incredible journey with twists and turns of fate that couldn't be scripted. And hopefully, like me, when you look at your failures now, what you're really seeing is just one more thing that you've tried out but didn't really enjoy. It will push you forward to the next big thing. I promise.

John Pope (March 16, 1822 – September 23, 1892) was a career United States Army officer and Union general in the American Civil War. He had a brief but successful career in the Western Theater, but he is best known for his defeat at the Second Battle of Bull Run (Second Manassas) in the East.

Pope was a graduate of the United States Military Academy in 1842. He served in the Mexican-American War and had numerous assignments as a topographical engineer and surveyor in Florida, New Mexico, and Minnesota. He spent much of the last decade before the Civil War surveying possible southern routes for the proposed First Transcontinental Railroad. He was an early appointee as a Union brigadier general of volunteers and served initially under Maj. Gen. John C. Frémont. He achieved initial success against Brig. Gen. Sterling Price in Missouri, then led a successful campaign that captured Island No. 10 on the Mississippi River. This inspired the Lincoln administration to bring him to the Eastern Theater to lead the newly formed Army of Virginia.

He initially alienated many of his officers and men by publicly denigrating their record in comparison to his Western command. He launched an offensive against the Confederate army of General Robert E. Lee, in which he fell prey to a strategic turning movement into his rear areas by Maj. Gen. Stonewall Jackson. At Second Bull Run, he concentrated his attention on attacking Jackson while the other Confederate corps attacked his flank and routed his army. Following Manassas, Pope was banished far from the Eastern Theater to the Department of the Northwest in Minnesota, where he commanded U.S. Forces in the Dakota War of 1862. He was appointed to command the Department of the Missouri in 1865 and was a prominent and activist commander during Reconstruction in Atlanta. For the rest of his military career, he fought in the Indian Wars, particularly against the Apache and Sioux.

"...beauty is one of the values ​​we have denigrated, almost ignored, because it seems that art has to come in the form of protest, it has to be brutal; .... I go a little against the current. In a time where things are ephemeral, I think of at least five thousand years.

You can not do things by fashion or because things are for oneself, for your heart, for your soul. ...we must use these years that we have to live well.

... the artistic process has to go through the mind, the feelings, the creativity and the hands. And in addition, the hands which are also autonomous, because they are making decisions, they not only obey the mind and the heart. For me, the artist cannot be just a designer."

"... la belleza es uno de los valores que hemos denigrado, casi ignorado, porque parece que el arte tiene que ser protesta, tiene que ser brutal; instalaciones, mensajes... Yo voy un poco contracorriente. En un tiempo donde las cosas son efímeras, yo pienso en, por lo menos, cinco mil años.

No se pueden hacer cosas por moda o porque sí, son cosas por uno mismo, por su corazón, por su alma. Ya te digo, hay que utilizar bien estos años que nos toca vivir.

... el proceso artístico tiene que pasar por la mente, el sentimiento, la creatividad y las manos. Y además, las manos son también autónomas, porque van tomando decisiones, no solamente obedecen a la mente y el corazón. Para mí el artista no puede ser solamente un proyectista."

Your wheels are on the ground, you're slowing down, everything is ok. Time to call the family. Flying is not dangerous, but if others think it is, it's not to denigrate your passion, it's because they care about you.

Vos roues touchent le sol, vous ralentissez, tout va bien. Il est temps d'apeller la famille. Voler n'est pas dangereux, et si beaucoup de personnes le pensent, c'est uniquement parce qu'ils tiennent à vous.

Another wonderfully framed snapshot (it's tiny, like 1 3/4"

I'm not going to get started on a political rant, but I will say, the contrast between

our country that once was, and our country now, is sad beyond belief. In no way do I mean to denigrate the men and women in our armed forces. I believe the root stock of the American people is as strong as ever. Our leaders have led us astray, and we, collectively, have followed.

Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal, in Agra, in loving memory of his wife Mumtaz. His son Aurangzeb, who overthrew him, built the Bibi-Ka-Maqbara as a mausoleum to his wife Rabia-ud-Durrani.

This is the monument for which Aurangabad is best known, probably because it was obviously intended to rival the Taj Mahal, which it imitates. The comparison with the Agra monument has unfortunately somewhat denigrated the Aurangabad tomb which in itself displays a worthwhile architectural design, with much distinguished surface ornamentation in the late Mughal style.

The mausoleum dates from 1678 and it was erected by Prince Azam Shah, one of Aurangzeb's sons, in memory of Begum Rabia Durani, his mother. It stands in the middle of a spacious and formally planned garden, some 457 by 274 metres, with axial ponds, fountains, and water channels, many defined by stone screens and lined with broad pathways. The garden is enclosed by high crenellated walls with bastions set at intervals, and open pavilions on three sides.

Formed in London, England in 1969 by three Ghanaian and three Caribbean musicians, Osibisa played a central role in developing an awareness of African music - in their case, specifically, West African highlife tinged with rock - among European and North American audiences in the 70s. Since then, Osibisa have suffered the fate of many once-celebrated 70s African-oriented performers. Their pioneering blend of rock and African rhythms has either been overlooked or downgraded for its lack of roots appeal. There is, in truth, some justification for this: Osibisa's style was too closely hitched to western rock, and too much of a fusion to survive the scrutiny of western audiences who, from the early 80s onwards, were looking for 'authentic' African music. But the group's towering achievements in the 70s should not be denigrated. The Ghanaian founder members of Osibisa - Teddy Osei (saxophone), Sol Amarfio (drums) and Mac Tontoh (trumpet, Osei's brother) - were seasoned members of the Accra highlife scene before they moved to London to launch their attack on the world stage. Osei and Amaflio had played in the Star Gazers, a top Ghanaian highlife band, before setting up the Comets, who scored a large West African hit with their 1958 single 'Pete Pete'. Tontoh was also a member of the Comets, before joining the Uhuru Dance Band, one of the first outfits to bring elements of jazz into Ghanaian highlife. The other founder members of Osibisa were Spartacus R, a Grenadian bass player, Robert Bailey (b. Trinidad; keyboards) and Wendel Richardson (b. Antigua; lead guitar). They were joined soon after their formation by the Ghanaian percussionistDarko Adams 'Potato' (b. 1932, d. 1 January 1995, Accra, Ghana).

medievalpoc: midlifebymydesign: medievalpoc: The all-white reinvention of Medieval Europe commonly depicted in popular fiction, films, tv shows and art is entirely that: a fiction. An invention. An erasure. Obviously, people of color have been an essential and integral part of European life, European art, and European literary imagination since time immemorial. To cite “historical accuracy” as a means to project whitewashed images of the past into the future to maintain a fiction of white supremacy is an unconscionable farce. People of Color are not an anachronism. Follow. Ask. Submit. I would go so far that it is not so much a reinvention as it is an omission and invention. To say “reinvention” would imply the initial invention included black people: it did, as an afterthought, but not in a positive light in any stretch. You cannot look at these images without providing context. Indeed, the 6th image of the little girl was PAINTED OUT of the picture she was in - the academics discovered that in 1940s. It was not until the late 1990s that white art historian Gabrielle Langdon brought that to light. And I was the first Black person to tell her categorically that the child was both black and a girl (she agreed and lamented the fact she had only been in contact with white scholars up to that point). Until I got started on the project back in the nineties information about black people in the middle ages and Renaissance periods were NOT accessible - scattershot at best. I had to go through the sources *by hand* one by one. Only in the past 5 years has Black academia caught up. The following is a result of over 15 years of cataloging and research. I recommend that you look at the list and look up the stuff. www.africandiasporabibliography.com/ I agree that every researcher that exists owes a debt of gratitude to every inquisitive mind and dedicated knowledge-seeker who came before. Obviously, I wouldn’t have any of the information that I do without the people who gathered it from primary sources, and it’s still exceedingly difficult to get the hard facts unburied from the centuries of people trying to cover it up. I’m genuinely humbled and grateful to all the people who came before me, compiling, scanning, and writing. The story of Giulia di’ Medici, and how she was painted over, literally, in the 19th century, can be read in the post I made with her. Each of the images in the promotional post comes from an already-published post. Here’s another link you provided on your webpage about Giulia de’ Medici and another portrait of her as an adult. As for use of terms “reinvention” versus “invention”, I use the term because it implies both that people of color were there for the initial “invention” of the middle ages, i.e., when it happened and was initially recorded; secondly, because it indicates the purposeful and calculated erasure done in the 19th and 20th centuries by white historians. A lot of the Illuminated Manuscripts I post are recordings of history that had happened a few hundred (or ten) years before. Basically, primary sources=”invention”; secondary sources from the 19th and 20th century were revised to omit, denigrate, and dismiss people of color, therefore reinventing history. For those interested in the posts I made for each of the above images, they are as follows: 1. Don Miguel de Castro, Ambassador for the Kingdom of Kongo to Dutch Brazil (1637) 2. Xiang Fei (Fragrant Concubine), of the Uighur, in European Armor (1760) 3. Sir Morien, Black Knight of the Round Table (c. 1200s) 4. Manuel I Komnenos and his second wife Maria of Antioch (c. 1150) 5. Sancho I of Castile and Léon (c. 1129) 6. Portrait of Maria Salviati de’ Medici with Giulia de’ Medici (1537) 7. Mulay Ahmad portrait by Rubens (1609) 8. Adoration of the Magi by David (c. 1490) 9. special post about the Fayoum Mummy Portraits (c. 100 B.C.E.) 10. Miniature from a Psalter, Including a Calendar (c. 1240)

Not My Cup of Coffee

March 10, 2014

This is the title of a new book, and you are in charge of illustrating the book in a photo. What do you submit as a final version?

I just can't put my art arms around any actual denigration of coffee, so I tampered with the text!

Leaving St. Paul's, you walk down my favorite hill in London.

There are stories.

1. The building off in the distance that looks like a three-eyed mutant owl is Strata SE1 aka "The Razor." What's the use of all these weird architectural statements in London if people can't give them funny names? The eyes are wind generators. They're supposed to make the building "greener," but locals say they rarely rotate.

2. The sign on the Tate Modern is cut off. The "GR" is missing. It does not really say "EAT ART FROM AROUND THE WORLD." After all, as they're so quick to tell art students, "You can't eat your art."

2a. London guides all denigrate the art inside the Tate Modern. I like it.

3. There appears to be some work being done on the Millennium Bridge, making it even more crowded than usual.

4. On the right we have another one of Europe's rapidly proliferating buildings in boxes.

5. The flowers at bottom right were placed at a large statue honoring the firefighters who died in the Blitz.

“You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Attributed to Abraham Lincoln

Abiy Ahmed has fooled almost all of us Ethiopians for some time. He managed to do so only because TPLF has been denigrating the name Ethiopia so much so that we were longing that someone in a position of power say something good about Ethiopia, even a as a lip service. In essence, we were begging to be lied to about the Ethiopia we love. The shrewd Abiy Ahmed knew this weakness of ours very well and exploited it to the fullest extent, so much so that some Ethiopians regarded him as the messiah Ethiopia and Ethiopians have been longing for (for a long, long time).

However, what the street smart Abiy Ahmed did not realize was that he cannot fool all of us Ethiopians all the time. After all, his treachery could take him only up to a certain point. Abiy Ahmed is too street smart for his own good.

- Nowadays, most of Ethiopians do not have an iota of doubt that Abiy Ahmed is an OLF wolf in Ethiopia’s clothing, and that he leaves no stone unturned to build an exclusive Geda-ruled Oromo empire over the grave of Ethiopia.

- His lofty words about Ethiopia are mere covers for his wicked deeds against Ethiopia.

The boardwalk that was since constructed in this area has saved the meadows and restored the denuded shorelines (as shown above), and it is now a much healthier, life-giving place. We all like to walk to the edge of a lake's shoreline or to the edge of a river or stream, but in high use, fragile areas like this one and given that there are so very many of us, the consequences ultimately result in irreparable harm. Fortunately action was taken so that future generations (who will also hopefully learn the urgent need for sustainable human populations unlike those of the past) will be able enjoy and observe this scenic high elevation lake in a non-denigrated condition. One day hopefully the Boreal toads will return and the Tiger Salamander re-introduced, and maybe rare Botrychiums* which one grew in the area will be re-discovered in the recovered meadows.

August 11, 1985, Brighton area, upper Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah

The only collection of Botrychium lineare in Utah was made by early Utah botanist Albert O. Garrett (who taught at East High School, but for whom the herbarium at the University of Utah was named) in a meadow bordering this location, i.e. near Silver Lake. That early collection of A.O. Garrett's reportedly included plants also of Botrychium lanceolatum which is still not being indicated as occurring in Salt Lake County in some of our floristic treatments and which is also not known from any other population in Salt Lake County nor along the Wasatch Front as far as I am aware. Searches have been conducted for these difficult to find plants, but no grapeferns of either species have since been located.

Spring Street Salt Shed for the Department of Sanitation (WXY architecture + urban design/Claire Weisz Architects, Dattner Architects, 2010-2015). A brilliant collaboration between rising stars and experienced hands on the NYC municipal-infrastructure scene, this "crystal" stylizes and celebrates its function of storing salt for use in winter's streets and sidewalks. A few years ago, I saw it as a test case of the recent revival of interest in Brutalism. Today I see it more in terms of DSNY's long-term interest in using art and architecture to treat its seemingly mundane work, and often-denigrated workforce, with dignity and even pizzazz. In either reading, it's one of the most striking and satisfying public-works projects completed in NYC this century.

Seen here: Canal Street facade, in strong sunlight that brings out the faceted 'crystal' surface, and the dark maw of the open door, hidden in shadow. Much more could probably written about the choice to render a 'crystal' in this panelized manner, rather than seeking a more monolithic effect. I like it - just will leave the musings on constructional poesis to those with more of a knack in that department.

History of the Vienna State Opera

132 years house on the Ring

(you can see pictures by clicking on the link at the end of page!)

State Opera (K.K. Court Opera) 1901

About three and a half centuries, until the early Baroque period, the tradition of Viennese opera goes back. Emperor Franz Joseph I decreed in December 1857 to tear down the old city walls and fortifications around the city center of Vienna and to lay out a wide boulevard with new buildings for culture and politics, the ring road.

The two Court Theatres (a speech and a musical theater) should find a new place on the ring. For the Imperial and Royal Court Opera House was chosen a prominent place in the immediate area of ​​the former Kärntnertortheatre. This by the public that much loved opera theater was demolished in 1709 due to its confinement .

State Opera (K.K. Court Opera) 1903

The new opera house was built by the Viennese architect August Sicardsburg, who designed the basic plan, and Eduard van der Null, who designed the interior decoration. But other eminent artists had been involved: just think of Moritz von Schwind, who painted the frescoes in the foyer and the famous "Magic Flute", cycle of frescoes in the loggia. The two architects did not experience the opening of "their" opera house any more. The sensitive van der Null committed suicide since the Wiener (Viennes people) denigrated the new house as lacking in style, his friend Sicardsburg succumbed a little later to a stroke.

1869 - 1955

On 25 May 1869 the House was with Mozart's DON JUAN in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph, the highest building owner, and Empress Elisabeth opened.

However, with the artistic charisma under the first directors Franz von Dingelstedt, Johann Herbeck, Franz Jauner and Wilhelm Jahn grew the popularity of the building. A first highlight experienced the Vienna Opera under the director Gustav Mahler, renewing the outdated performance system from scratch, strengthening precision and ensemble spirit and also using significant visual artists (including Alfred Roller) for the shaping of the new stage aesthetic.

In the ten-year-period of his Directorate (1897-1907) continued Gustav Mahler, this very day, in the concert halls of the world as the most important member of a Symphony Orchestra at the turn of the 20th century omnipresent, the intensive fostering of Wagner, Mozart's operas and Beethoven's Fidelio were redesigned, the with Richard Strauss initiated connection to Verdi was held upright. Austrian composers were promoted (Hugo Wolf), the Court Opera was opened to European modernism.

In addition to the classics of the Italian repertoire were and are especially Mozart, Wagner and Richard Strauss (himself 1919-1924 director of the House), the musical protection gods of the Vienna State Opera.

The modern also always had its place: the twenties and thirties witnessed the Vienna premieres of Krenek's Jonny spielt auf, Cardillac Hindemith, Korngold MIRACLE OF Héliane and Berg's Wozzeck (under President Clemens Krauss). This tradition was interrupted with the seizure of power by the National Socialists, yes, after the devastating bomb hits, on 12 March 1945 the house on the ring largely devastating, the care of the art form itself was doubtful.

The Viennese, who had preserved a lively cultural life during the war, were deeply shocked to see the symbol of the Austrian musical life in ruins.

But the spirit of the opera was not destroyed. On 1 May 1945 "State Opera Volksoper" was opened with a brilliant performance of Mozart's THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, on 6 October 1945 was followed by the re-opening of the hastily restored Theater an der Wien with Beethoven's Fidelio. Thus there were two venues for the next ten years, while the actual main building was rebuilt at great expense.

As early as 24 May 1945 the State Secretary of Public Works, Julius Raab, had announced the reconstruction of the Vienna State Opera, which should be placed in the hands of the Austrian architects Erich Boltenstern and Otto Prossinger. Only the main façade, the grand staircase and the Schwindfoyer (evanescence foyer) had been spared from the bombs - with a new auditorium and modernized technology, the Vienna State Opera was brilliant with Beethoven's Fidelio under Karl Böhm on 5 November 1955 reopened. The opening ceremonies were broadcasted from Austrian television and in the whole world at the same time as a sign of life of the resurrected 2nd Republic understood.

1955 to 1992

The dictum that the Vienna State Opera survives every director, is attributed to Egon Seefehlner which himself for many years run the businessses of the house. And yet marked he and the thirty-one other directors of the Vienna State Opera since 1869, great musicians or musical administrators, in their own way the profile of this world-famous institution:

After the Second World War there were first the conductors directors Karl Böhm and Herbert von Karajan - the latter insisted on the title "Artistic Director" and opened the Ensemble house to the international singer market, had the opera rehearsed in original language and oriented his plans to "co-productions" with foreign opera houses, however, which were only realized after his term.

It followed as directors Egon Hilbert, Heinrich Reif-Gintl, Rudolf Gamsjäger and the mentioned Egon Seefehlner, who was appointed for a second time at the top of the house after the departure of his successor in office Lorin Maazel. Claus Helmut Drese (State Opera director from 1986 to 1991) stood with Claudio Abbado an internationally renowned music director by his side. At the beginning of the 90s the forrmer star baritone Eberhard Waechter, at that time director of the Volksoper (People's Opera), charged with the direction. Only seven months have been granted to him as a director.

The era Ioan Holender (1992 to 2010)

After Waechter's tragic death in March 1992 took over general secretary Ioan Holender, a former singer (baritone) and owner of a singer Agency, the office to continue the tradition of perhaps the most important opera institution in the world over the millennium to 2010.

His play plan design relies besides an extremely wide repertoire with the columns Mozart, Wagner, Verdi and Strauss mainly on premieres. Mention may be made of Bellini's I Puritani (1993 /94), Massenet Hérodiade (1994 /95), Verdi's Jerusalem and Britten's PETER GRIMES (1995 /96), Verdi's Stiffelio and Enescu OEDIPE (1996 /97), Rossini's GUILLAUME TELL and Lehár's operetta THE MERRY WIDOW (1998/99) and Schoenberg's THE JAKOBSLEITER, Hiller's PETER PAN, Donizetti's ROBERTO DEVEREUX, Britten's Billy Budd, Verdi's Nabucco (2000/ 01), Bellini's LA SONNAMBULA, Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, Janácek's Jenufa (2001/02), Verdi's SIMON BOCCANEGRA, Krenek's Jonny spielt auf, Donizetti's La Favorite, Hiller's PINOCCHIO, Wagner's TRISTAN UND ISOLDE (2002/ 03), Verdi's FALSTAFF, Wagner's FLYING DUTCHMAN and PARSIFAL, Strauss's Daphne (2003/ 04) and the world premiere of the original French version of Verdi's DON CARLOS (2003/ 04). A particular success of the recent past, the rediscovery of Fromental Halévy's La Juive Grand (1999 ) must be considered. Two premières concerned 1995 Adriana Hölszky's THE WALLS (co-production with the Vienna Festival at the Theater an der Wien ) and Alfred Schnittke's Gesualdo. On 15 June 2002 also THE GIANT OF STONE FIELD (Music: Peter Turrini: Friedrich Cerha libretto) premiered with great success, another commissioned work of the Vienna State Opera.

In recent years it came up, in each case on 18 May, the anniversary of the death of Gustav Mahler, to concerts of the Vienna Philharmonic at the Vienna State Opera. These were under the direction of Seiji Ozawa (who since the 2002 /03 season the Vienna State Opera director Holender as music director of the house stands to the side) (1995), Carlo Maria Giulini (1996), Riccardo Muti (1997), Lorin Maazel (1998), Zubin Mehta (1999), Giuseppe Sinopoli (2000 ), Riccardo Muti (2001) and again Seiji Ozawa (2004).

Furthermore, was on 16 June, 2002 for the first time by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (conducted by Seiji Ozawa) a CONCERT FOR AUSTRIA organized. More CONCERTS FOR AUSTRIA followed on 26 October 2003 (Zubin Mehta) and 26 October 2004 (under Valery Gergiev).

At the Theater an der Wien Mozart's Così fan tutte experienced a triumphant new production conducted by Riccardo Muti. This Mozart cycle under Muti continued with DON GIOVANNI and 2001 LE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, 1999.

2016-MAY-08; Mark Bauer had an op-ed article published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

GOP leaders came up with a great solution for climate change.

* Right-wing arguments against global warming keep changing.

* George H.W. Bush used cap and trade to solve air pollution problems.

* Waiting for global warming crisis will mean a more expensive fix.

Before Facebook, I thought everyone believed in science. I saw this as a meme on the internet, and it hit home with me..

Over the past 20 years, we?ve seen this transition play out in the conservative narrative on global warming..

Since the 1990s, when global warming was first recognized as a threat, my right-wing friends have used these arguments in sequential order:.

* Global warming isn?t real; it?s a conspiracy by scientists..

The hidden agenda of these scientists was apparently to ruin the American economy..

Right-wingers never could explain why these scientists wanted to ruin our nation and who was funding them, but they never backed off the claim that scientists were not being honest with their data..

* Global warming isn?t real; scientists are wrong..

Their basis was something even I remember: Back in the 1970s, there was vocal minority of scientists who believed in a greenhouse cooling effect..

It actually was easier to explain: Pollution was creating particulates in the atmosphere that would block the sunlight, thus reducing the sun?s heat..

It culminated in a 1974 Time magazine cover asking when the new Ice Age would occur..

Even then, the majority of scientists believed in a warming trend, but their data weren?t as exciting. The warming trend eventually was proved in the 1980s..

* Global warming is real, but it?s not man-made..

My conservative friends send me charts showing how Earth has cooled and heated over the eons..

Although climate scientists concede that Earth?s temperature has changed over time, the current acceleration in warming is easily traced to human activity since the Industrial Revolution..

* Global warming is real, humans are part of the problem, but there?s nothing that can be done about it..

Al Gore can save his breath. They agree with him that global warming is real, but the fix is too economically devastating..

Here?s the real frustration: There is a fix to global warming, and Republicans are the ones who came up with it..

It is a fix that has been proven to work, a fix that includes the free market with gentle economic incentives. It?s called cap and trade. We know it works because Republicans used it to fix a similar problem that is no longer in the headlines..

Remember acid rain? It was noticed back in the 1800s that marble statues and steel structures were deteriorating rapidly due to rain that was more acidic than normal. The first federal action to investigate this issue was in 1980 by Ronald Reagan. The final solution was signed by George H.W. Bush in 1989 with a series of amendments to the Clean Air Act..

Title IV established the cap and trade system designed to control emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides..

In fewer than eight years, the total SO2 emissions reached the goal ahead of the 2010 targets..

Industry was able to do it economically, on their own terms without draconian federal regulations..

The way it worked was that those companies that invested in pollution-reduction equipment sold their excess pollution credits to those companies that would rather pay to maintain their current emissions..

Over time, the cap was reduced until the overall pollution reductions were met. The private sector was allowed to get there in their own way. Cap and trade provides the private sector with the flexibility to reduce emissions while stimulating technological innovation and economic growth. Unfortunately, conservatives have demonized cap and trade (they like to denigrate it by calling it cap and tax)..

But cap and trade is a solution, and Republicans ought to embrace it because it is their idea..

The alternative is to wait for global warming to reach a crisis level, requiring a more expensive fix that can?t be implemented without government intervention. Let?s save our planet now, using our innovative private sector, before we lose the opportunity..

...And onto Lullaby, perhaps? I'm thrilled at finishing Choke, by Chuck Palahniuk. It was surreal, and just dark enough to keep you wondering how the protagonist, Victor, could inflict life upon himself next. It was intense...but i can't tell if i'm uplifted by it (in the sense that comparatively i'm living a great life), or denigrated by some of the overall views of the human experience as Victor saw it. Fortunately, i highlighted a good portion of what stuck out to me and will probably refer back to it a lot to catch what i miss.

So it's between continuting the Palahniuk march by reading Lullaby and diverting to a classic, War of the Worlds. Either way, the Kindle has revived the spirit of leisure-reading for me.

"...beauty is one of the values ​​we have denigrated, almost ignored, because it seems that art has to come in the form of protest, it has to be brutal; ....I go a little against the current. In a time where things are ephemeral, I think of at least five thousand years.

You can not do things by fashion or because things are for oneself, for your heart, for your soul. ...we must use these years that we have to live well.

... the artistic process has to go through the mind, the feelings, the creativity and the hands. And in addition, the hands which are also autonomous, because they are making decisions, they not only obey the mind and the heart. For me, the artist cannot be just a designer."

"... la belleza es uno de los valores que hemos denigrado, casi ignorado, porque parece que el arte tiene que ser protesta, tiene que ser brutal; instalaciones, mensajes... Yo voy un poco contracorriente. En un tiempo donde las cosas son efímeras, yo pienso en, por lo menos, cinco mil años.

No se pueden hacer cosas por moda o porque sí, son cosas por uno mismo, por su corazón, por su alma. Ya te digo, hay que utilizar bien estos años que nos toca vivir.

... el proceso artístico tiene que pasar por la mente, el sentimiento, la creatividad y las manos. Y además, las manos son también autónomas, porque van tomando decisiones, no solamente obedecen a la mente y el corazón. Para mí el artista no puede ser solamente un proyectista."

(Giovanni Campiglia?)

Colored pencil and chalk on laid paper

36 x 26 cm

Watermark of upper part of a French-style crown, oriented sideways along the middle of the right side of the page, probably mid-1700s.

Portrait of a noblewoman in her late 30s or early 40s in In mid-18th century style. Inscribed below: "Par Joseph Campigly" with calligraphic flourishes.

Provenance: Auction De Zwaan, Amsterdam, 4 April 2018. "From a noted Hannover collector."

Small tear upper right, affecting 1.5 cm of the image.

Some water stains affecting the image.

The figure in this work looks very much like Maria Christina of Austria (1742-1798), the favorite daughter of Maria Theresa and wife of Prince Albert of Saxony. Their extensive art collection formed the basis of the Albertina, in Vienna. It could be a study of or after an oil portrait dated 1766-1770 and formerly attributed to Johann Baptiste von Lampi The Elder (1751-1830)--most likely a copy, as von Lampi would then have been only 19. The painting is in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Maria Christina was based in Vienna most of her life, with time spent in in Antwerp, trying to head off revolts by the local populace. Another possible inspiration is a full length portrait from 1778 by Alexandre Roslin (1718-1793), in the Albertina, or even a 1782 stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1727-1815). However, in the painting allegedly by von Lampi, the figure is looking more directly at the viewer, as in this drawing.

The State Museums of Berlin's Prints Cabinet has a similarly executed portrait, of the same size and also in pastel or colored pencil, of Prince Frederick Henry of Prussia (1726-1802), younger brother of Frederick The Great. It's signed like mine, with more calligraphic flourishes, and also given a date, 1778, and so possibly a companion work. However, it seems to be a study or close copy of a pastel portrait by Johann Heinrich Schmidt (1749-1829) (PDF), dated to *1783* and now in the collection of the Pushkin Museum in St. Petersburg. A biography of 18th century pastel artists places him in Vienna and Berlin between 1775 and 1779 and St. Petersburg 1784-1785.

"Joseph Campigly" could be Giovanni Domenico Campiglia, 1692-1768, who drew classical subjects and portraits, sometimes in pastel. This would obviously pose a problem for both portraits, but many biographies, scant as they are, disagree on when he died, and Boris Wilnitsky Fine Arts, of Vienna, provides documentation that places Campiglia in Potsdam or Berlin in March 1778 and even in Warsaw a few years after that, in their listing for a miniature watercolor on ivory, signed "Par Campigli / Anne 1778", of Princess Maria Kunigunde of Saxony. Berlin artist Daniel Chodowiecki (1726-1801), attached to the Prussian court there and in Potsdam, denigrates Campiglia in a letter dated 31 March 17778, maybe out of jealousy of a rival, but maybe with some justification, if Campiglia really made these drawings as studies after existing paintings.

Campiglia was based in Florence and Rome before decamping to Berlin and Warsaw. I can find no mention of him in Vienna, nor can I find any artist known to have painted both figures, and it's a bit of a stretch to still have him painting portraits in 1778, let alone 1783, when he's thought to have died around 1768. I suspect a misattribution on both portraits.

Schmidt remains a possibility.

On the basis of Wilnitsky's item above, I had originally identified my subject as Princess Maria Kunigunde of Saxony, Poland and Lithuania (1740-1826). However, I changed my mind after seeing the exhibition The Forgotten Princesses Of Thorn, in the Limburgse Museum until 3 April 2021. That's a shame, because the Prinsess was a remarkable woman--well-educated and intelligent. Her wits deserted her at a crucial time, during a dinner with the future Austria-Hungarian Emperor Joseph II, who decided she was not Empress material. No other mate was suitable, so, as compensation Maria was made Princess-Abbess (the last!) of a theoretically wealthy convent in Essen and a sort of finishing school for high-born girls in Thorn (which included the Dutch city of Venlo). Maria also went into business, financing, then selling a Prussian toll road that a large profit. She was also an early investor in iron mining in the Ruhr Valley. She was a patroness of the arts, helped compile a Constitution for Saxony, and, when she died, remembered all her servants in her will.

Turnu Monastery Church, Târgşoru Vechi, Prahova, Romania

15th century

Snapshot

The Church entrance inscription, which has been preserved over the centuries, mentions the date of the Church consecration - June 24, 1461 - as well as the patronage of St. Hierarch Nicholas the Wonderworker and bears witness to the faith of a much-denigrated Voivode such as Vlad Ţepeş (1448, 1456-1462, 1476). The finest period of the town of Târgşor is linked to St. Voivode Neagoe Basarab (1512-1521), who counts the town among ”my lordship's cities”. Most documents by this Orthodox Voivode were issued in Târgşor.

Another important name linked to the Turnu Monastery is Voivode Constantin Brâncoveanu (1688-1714), executed by the Ottomans together with his four sons and recently canonised by the Romanian Orthodox Church.

pentax takumar 55m F2 lens test on eos 550D. As you can see I had problems with the focus.

Its a great lens when you suss the focus!

There is no VR or IS so you need fastish shutter speeds to compensate.

My verdict

Build quality 10/10

You know these are very good quality as soon as you pick one up and fiddle around with it using the focus and aperture etc.

Made of metal and smooth as silk, ,make no mistake these lenses are CLASS!

Lens sharpness 8/10 I'm maybe denigrating it here but I did have trouble focussing the thing.

I have used taks and super taks before and I do like them

Practibility..7/10. You lose autofocus obviously and it is awkward trying to get the focus crack on.

You also need to buy an adapter. No problem at all if you dont mind it,

Value for money 10/10 these can be had dirt cheap secondhand on ebay.

I'd give 11 out of 10 if it were possible!

day! How I pray for it! And how the dreams and prayer make light the burdens I have borne since I was a student at Government College! The pain is to have spent a lifetime on this and to see no light at the end of the tunnel. Well, not quite. Something has happened to the Ogoni people in the last 4 years which owes itself to me as initiator, but to all the rest of you as well. And it is surely a good feeling that the Ogoni have been put on the world map and that the people have been empowered to fight for their rights. The fruit of all that will depend on those who come after me. I see an Ogoni star in the sky, an example to other denigrated communities in Nigeria and Africa. Whether it will shine everlasting, I cannot foresee. It is still early days. But I wish it with all my soul.

I’ve been rambling, but it is a sign of my mind. I was thrilled to bits to receive your [note?] and Zina’s undated letter (trust her not to date her letter). That is because I thought you had all abandoned me since I had not heard from you after your first letter. And given the emotional investment I have in you all, you can understand the way I felt. I feared very much that the propaganda against me might have influenced you. A detainee tends to fear the worst since he is in no position to receive proper information

“You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” Attributed to Abraham Lincoln

Abiy Ahmed has fooled almost all of us Ethiopians for some time. He managed to do so only because TPLF has been denigrating the name Ethiopia so much so that we were longing that someone in a position of power say something good about Ethiopia, even a as a lip service. In essence, we were begging to be lied to about the Ethiopia we love. The shrewd Abiy Ahmed knew this weakness of ours very well and exploited it to the fullest extent, so much so that some Ethiopians regarded him as the messiah Ethiopia and Ethiopians have been longing for (for a long, long time).

However, what the street smart Abiy Ahmed did not realize was that he cannot fool all of us Ethiopians all the time. After all, his treachery could take him only up to a certain point. Abiy Ahmed is too street smart for his own good.

- Nowadays, most of Ethiopians do not have an iota of doubt that Abiy Ahmed is an OLF wolf in Ethiopia’s clothing, and that he leaves no stone unturned to build an exclusive Geda-ruled Oromo empire over the grave of Ethiopia.

- His lofty words about Ethiopia are mere covers for his wicked deeds against Ethiopia.
