Deckelgemäß mit einem Knauf in Form eines Kormorankopfes (Phalacrocorax auritus), ca.250 - 600 v. Chr., Fundort Tikal, Guatemala
Die Maya stellten Keramikgeschirr ohne die Hilfe einer Töpferscheibe her und kannten auch keine Brennöfen, sondern brannten das Geschirr wahrscheinlich in einer Grube im Freien. Bemaltes Keramikgeschirr galt als eine besondere Kostbarkeit und stand nur dem König und dem Adel zur Verfügung. Deckelgefäße trugen oft einen Knauf in Form eines Tierkopfes, während der Körper des Tiers auf den Deckel aufgemalt wurde. Sie waren Repräsentationskeramik, nahmen Opfergaben auf, wurden als Grabbeigaben verwendet oder zur Aufbewahrung von Kakao und Mais genutzt.

Lidded bowl with a knob in form of the head of a double crested coromorant (Phalacrocorax autirus), ca. 250 - 600 AD, found at Tikal, Guatemala
The Maya manufactured pottery without the use of a potter's wheel and also did not know the kiln, but probably fired it outside in a pit. Painted pottery was considered a luxury item and was available for the king and nobles only. They used it at banquets and as burial objects, besides of trading it. Lidded bowls often had a knob in form of an animal's head while the body of the animal was painted on the lid. They were representation ceramics, contained cacrificial offerings, were used as burial objects graves or for storing cacao or maize.

La Malaisie, en forme longue la Fédération de Malaisie, en malais Malaysia, مليسيا, est un pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, constitué de la Malaisie péninsulaire ou Malaisie occidentale (péninsule Malaise) et de la Malaisie orientale (nord de Bornéo). Elle est située à environ 200 km au nord de l'équateur. Sa capitale est Kuala Lumpur et sa superficie est égale à 329 750 km2.
Le pays est composé de deux régions distinctes :
* La Malaisie occidentale ou Malaisie péninsulaire (au sud de la Thaïlande) est divisée du Nord au Sud par une longue chaîne montagneuse dont le point culminant se situe à 2189 m (Mont Tahan) et où subsistent de vastes zones forestières. La côte Ouest est marécageuse et plate, la côte Est est, au contraire, composée de longues plages de sable. Les cultures et plantations sont d'abord situées le long des plaines côtières. Le Nord du pays (Perlis et Kedah) est considéré comme le grenier à riz du pays.
* La Malaisie orientale est composée des territoires du Sarawak et du Sabah et située au Nord de l'Indonésie (Bornéo). Cette partie représente 15 % de la population sur 60 % du territoire. Elle est essentiellement composée de forêts tropicales humides et d'un relief assez élevé (mont Kinabalu, 4100 m).
La Malaisie partage ses frontières terrestres avec le Brunei (381 km), l'Indonésie (1178 km) et la Thaïlande (506 km), et dispose de 4675 km de côtes. Elle est également reliée à Singapour par deux ponts traversant le détroit de Johor.
L'utilisation du nom de « Malaisie » pour désigner la péninsule Malaise est récente. Ce nom est la francisation de Malaya dans l'expression « British Malaya » (Malaisie britannique) de laquelle les Anglais désignaient, à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, les territoires qu'ils contrôlaient sur la péninsule.
Jusqu'en 1912, le nom de « Fédération de Malaisie » ne s'appliquait qu'à l'entité créée en 1946-48 par les Britanniques et devenue indépendante en 1957, « l'Union malaise » (Malayan Union). Celle-ci regroupait, dans la péninsule Malaise, les États malais, qui avaient auparavant le statut de protectorats, et les Strait Settlements, c'est-à-dire les colonies de Malacca, Penang et Singapour.
Lorsque les territoires britanniques de Bornéo, Sabah (British North Borneo) et Sarawak deviennent indépendants en 1963 et acceptent de rejoindre la Malaisie, la nouvelle entité est baptisée du néologisme de « Malaysia ».
En français, « Malaisie » avait à l'origine un autre sens. En 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposait à la Société de géographie de Paris une organisation de l'Océanie en quatre parties :
* la Polynésie (« les nombreuses îles »),
* la Mélanésie (« les îles noires »),
* la Micronésie (« les petites îles ») et
* la Malaisie.
Par ce dernier nom, Dumont d'Urville entendait une région regroupant l'Indonésie, la Malaisie et les Philippines actuelles. À l'époque en effet, on considérait que les habitants de cette région pouvaient être désignés par le terme englobant de « Malais ».
Au sens strict du terme, les Malais sont les populations qui parlent la langue malaise et qui habitent le littoral oriental de l'île de Sumatra, les îles Riau, la péninsule Malaise et le littoral de l'île de Bornéo.
Le traité de Londres de 1824 entre Anglais et Hollandais se traduira par un partage en deux de ce monde malais. On ne saurait donc identifier celui-ci à la seule Malaisie.
Pour éviter la confusion, on utilise le gentilé « malaisien » pour désigner ce qui relève de la Malaisie comme État, le mot « malais » désignant ce qui relève de la langue, de la culture, de l'ethnie, et couvrant donc un territoire plus vaste. Ainsi, l'expression « monde malais » au sens strict désigne l'aire géographique habitée par les Malais et décrite plus haut.
L'État du Pahang est le plus grand de la Malaisie péninsulaire avec 35964 km². Sa capitale est la ville de Kuantan, située sur la côte est de la mer de Chine méridionale.

This is compleatly natural. It just amazes me every time I see it. I challenge all the Gettysburg Battlefield geeks out there to tell me where this is at. It is on the Battlefield.
Three terracotta shells form the body of this Greek aryballos. The shells imitate the form of the edible cockle (Cardium edule). The unknown potter carefully reproduced the radial ridging of the shells and the barely-visible thin stripes of color across the formerly white surface (it was once painted white on top of which the stripes were added). On this vessel, the shells were formed in molds, and then joined at their tops onto a short neck and wheel-made mouth before firing. Originally, three small handles connected the bodies of the shells with the broad, spreading mouth of the vessel, but two are now missing. The handle and mouth are in a dark glaze.
An aryballos was a vessel designed to hold small quantities of perfumed oil. Greek potters often gave this type of vase a representational, almost sculptural form. The idea for creating a shell-shaped terracotta vessel may derive from containers made from real shells. Archaeologists have found shells outfitted with hinges and clasps in order to serve as containers for small items.

You will receive the exact diamonds shown in the photos.
This is a true photo of the raw diamond; the photo has not been retouched or modified in any way.
Since most people are so used to only seeing the polished diamonds in the market, some of you may be surprised that these stones are actually diamonds. But yes, raw diamonds actually come in a variety of different colors, shapes and sizes, and are a delight to the eye!
All the diamonds we sell are real genuine diamonds. The exact same diamonds that are usually cut into polished diamonds.
But don't take our word for it, any 'diamond tester' which can be purchased on Ebay/Amazon for as low as $13 will confirm that. You can also show the diamonds to your local jeweler, and if he has any experience dealing with rough diamonds, he'll be able to attest to that too.
You can mount these uncut diamonds in jewelry as they are, or have them sent to be cut into polished diamonds.
All of our diamonds are 100% naturally mined and haven't been cut, faceted, polished, or undergone any kind of process whatsoever. This makes them ideal for an investment, since while polished diamond prices fluctuate, rough diamonds only appreciate over the years.
Our diamonds are personally guaranteed to be conflict free. We strictly follow the Kimberly Process Procedures to stop conflict diamonds or blood diamonds from entering the market.
You would be getting a Kimberly Process Guarantee in every order.
The Diamonds we sell are in full compliance with the rules and regulations set under the resolutions passed by the United Nations.

Prompt:
A highly detailed abstract image of a human face formed from a complex grid-like structure, creating a futuristic and surreal effect. The face emerges from the background as if seamlessly woven into the intricate geometric patterns, with dramatic lighting accentuating the depth and three-dimensional effect. The structure appears to be metallic or glass-like, with reflective surfaces catching the light. The overall aesthetic is modern, digital, and thought-provoking, evoking themes of artificial intelligence and human-machine integration. The image is in UHD, 8K resolution.
Fun event raises money for our Advent Appeal
Another very successful Sixth Form fancy dress day was recently held at St. Mary’s Menston. Over 250 students and staff arrived for lessons in multi-coloured costumes, each one donating £10 to the school’s annual Advent Appeal, proceeds from which will be sent to St. Gemma’s Hospice, CAFOD, Catholic Care and Martin House. A total of £1700 was raised on the day. This year again there were many different imaginative and creative costumes, some made by the students themselves including Aladdin on his magic carpet, nuns, sheiks, pirates, elves, flower pot men, gorillas, bears and cup-cakes to name but a few. The staff, not to be outdone, also joined in with some departments following a particular theme.
“Standing at the front of the hall delivering an assembly can sometimes be an off-putting experience; looking up from your notes and seeing Bill and Ben, the flowerpot men, bananas in pyjamas, giant-sized tetras boxes or a row of cupcakes, might be enough to put anyone off their lines. Congratulations to Paddy Spiller, our guest speaker from CAFOD who didn’t miss a beat when addressing a Year 11 and Year 13 assembly on Friday, our Fancy Dress day! Each student is to be commended for their generosity and for creating a very happy day for all in our school.”
Mr Sinnett, Director of Sixth Form
This event is not the only one planned by the Sixth Form students to raise as much money as possible this year. A Rich Man Poor Man lunch is planned for the end of the week where pupils and staff purchasing a ‘rich’ ticket win a hearty meal whilst a ‘poor’ ticket merits a cup of soup. A Sixth Form 5-a-side Football match also raised £150.
Over the course of the Advent period, the whole school community will be involved in fund raising activities with the aim of raising £10,000 for our four charities.

Unique Forms of Continuity in Space (1913)
Umberto Boccioni (1882-1916)
Bronze sculpture, cast 1972
Boccioni's work was in plaster, never cast into bronze in his lifetime. This cast was made in 1972.
In the early years of the twentieth century, industrialisation swept across Italy. The Futurist movement was founded by writers and artists such as Umberto Boccioni, who enthused about new inventions such as cars and electricity. In Unique Forms of Continuity in Space, the figure is aerodynamically deformed by speed. Boccioni exaggerated the body''s dynamism so that it embodied the urge towards progress. The sculpture may reflect ideas of the mechanised body that appeared in Futurist writings, as well as the ''superman'' envisaged by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche
