Our principal violinists, cellist and harpsichordist were at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Darlington, on Wednesday 20th September 2017 for a workshop on performance and interpretation. We greatly enjoyed working with the orchestra and soloists on three concertos – Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor BWV 1041, Vivaldi’s Flute Concerto in D major ‘The Goldfinch’ RV428 and John Garth’s Cello Concerto No 2 in B flat major. It was an intensive workshop focusing on period interpretation, style and performance practices, and at the end of the workshop the orchestra presented a concert to an invited audience of students from other schools in the area. We were delighted to be involved in this workshop to engage and explore this wonderful music with enthusiastic young players.
We’re grateful to Dr Simon Fleming (Curriculum Leader for Music) and the staff at QESFC for inviting us to lead this workshop. QESFC has a thriving culture of music education and participation, and we’re delighted to have been involved in supporting their music learning.
The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

Banda formada en el año 1989, en las que se puede ver las influencias tanto de The Misfits como Hard-on. El nombre de esta banda es por tanto un tributo a esas dos bandas que tanto les gustan, de ahí el nombre compuesto por: Satanic, para darle un toque de horror, siguiendo la escuela de Glenn Danzing y sus amigos de The Misfits; y Surfers, pagando el tributo a la vieja escuela de surf-punk encabezada por Hard-on.
El género musical de ésta banda, puede decirse semejante al de NOFX y Lag Wagon. El sello discografico Burning Heart se fijó en ellos y les hizo crecer del mundo musical.
Los últimos años han sido una época de cambios para Satanic Surfers. Rodrigo Alfaro ha sido, a pesar de lo que pueda parecer, la fuerza creativa de la banda. Siendo a la vez batería y cantante estos roles eran difíciles de compaginar, pero las cosas fueron cambiando. Un nuevo baterista entró en la banda, Martin Svensson, así que Rodrigo pasó a ser unicamente vocalista.
Se disolvieron en 2007.

PRIMER DÍA DE INTENSIDAD. 22 MARZO
A través de 16 instalaciones, el visitante recorre un espacio vivo que desarrollará en cada uno reacciones absolutamente diferentes. A través de la exhibición y las distintas actividades que la completan, se reflexionará acerca del modo en el que el arte se relaciona actualmente con la realidad. Esta exposición se aleja de las formas más tradicionales y juega con las prácticas performativas para despertar la sorpresa del espectador. Así, el espacio del CA2M se convierte en un lugar de experimentación directa de sensaciones que juegan con lo visual y lo sonoro reflexionando acerca de cómo el cuerpo responde a ese tipo de estímulos.
Esta exposición, concebida como evento, subrayó la performatividad y la forma en que funciona, la forma en que se acciona a sí misma. Incluyó objetos, audiovisuales y cuerpos. Fue una exposición continuamente “en vivo”, ya que las instalaciones, fotografías, películas, performances, debates, etcétera, habitaron el espacio del museo.

Through 16 facilities, the visitor walks through a living space that will develop in each one absolutely different reactions. Through the exhibition and the different activities that complete it, we will reflect on the way in which art is currently related to reality. This exhibition moves away from the more traditional forms and plays with the performative practices to awaken the surprise of the viewer. Thus, the space of the CA2M becomes a place of direct experimentation of sensations that play with the visual and the sonorous reflecting on how the body responds to that type of stimuli.
This exhibition, conceived as an event, underlined the performativity and the way in which it works, the way in which it actuates itself. It included objects, audio-visuals and bodies. It was a continuous exhibition "live", since the installations, photographs, films, performances, debates, etc., inhabited the space of the museum.

SEPTIC FLESH considered to be one of the pioneers of the Hellenic death metal sound, were formed in the 90’s.
After a demo entitled “Forgotten Path” and a Mini Lp entitled "Temple of the Lost Race" they managed to attract the attention of the French label Holly records, gaining access to the wider underground scene.
Their first full length album entitled "Mystic Places of Dawn" was recorded in April 1994 with M.W. Daoloth (from the cult black metal band Necromantia) as Co-producer.
One year later, in June 1995, they released "Esoptron", a dark opus with deep ancient Hellenic musical influences and themes dealing with philosophy and the occult.
The album that followed two years later, was entitled "Ophidian Wheel". The band added female vocals to the formula, recruiting Natalie Rassoulis. The neo-classical experimentations gained ground, adding a more theatrical dimension to the band’s sound.
In March 1998, the band released "Fallen Temple". It was a “crossroad” that represented the past of the band (the compositions of the rare “Temple of the Lost Race” re-recorded) but also presented a glimpse to the future, with some new material. In September of the same year, was also released a limited EP entitled "D.N.A Choronzone", which included the video clip for the song "The Eldest Cosmonaut" and 4 special tracks.
In June 1999, the band invaded Sweden to record with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordstrom "Revolution DNA". The album was launched in October 1999 and presented highly addictive material, with a more straight forward metal attitude.
The first era of the band was concluded with the release of “Sumerian Daemons” in 2002. This album was the turning point to a more brutal and bombastic sound, while the dominating choir parts in Ancient Sumerian language, created a truly demonic atmosphere.
The next chapter of SEPTICFLESH (with the two words merged together from now on) begun in 2008, as the band signed with French labor Season of Mist and released "Communion". The album was recorded once again at Fredman studios in Sweden, with Fredrik Nordstrom as producer. Music-wise, it was a bold step forwards, as the band decided to utilize for the first time a full orchestra. The Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague was chosen for the task, while Chris Antoniou, having obtained a Bachelor's and Master's degree in concert music in Londod, was responsible for the classical arrangements. The result was a unique merge of Death Metal heaviness, with Symphonic rage.
The next album "The Great Mass" was released in 2011. This time, the band collaborated with Peter Tägtgren for the production. The songs were heavy and at the same time highly technical and experimental, as the orchestral parts were further evolved. In addition the band collaborated with two exceptional female vocalists, Androniki Skoula (Mezzo Soprano) and Iliana Tsakiraki (Soprano). The overall result was a Grand dark metal "soundtrack".
The latest effort of the band is "Titan" released in 2014. The album was produced from Logan Mader. The title of the album, pretty much sums up its sound and general atmosphere. Primordial, menacing, majestic. Besides the use of Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague for the third time, the band worked for the first time with the Children Choir of Prague, adding an eerie tone to the songs. After long years of experimentation, Septicflesh have reached to a point that their metal and symphonic elements are fused together in a solid unity. The song "Prometheus" (that is very indicative of this balance between power and atmosphere), was chosen to visually represent the album, in the form of a video clip.

Wikipedia, Ballpoint pen drawing
By Jerry Stith on Friday, October 28, 2011 at 6:21pm
Ballpoint Pen Drawings are a form of art that consist of the usage of a ballpoint pen in a way similar to an average pencil except that the results are more permanent. The medium itself is considered to be easier to purchase when compared to other artistic materials. It is also a tool that any level of artist can use. Unlike other pens such as a fountain pen or crowquill pen the ink is less messy and does not bleed as much. The ink is instead distribute through the small ball at the tip of the pen which helps manage ink distribution more without difficulty. There are many intricate pictures produced by shading and the creating of many tones through techniques that are very similar to a pencil drawing. Not only is black ballpoint pen ink being used, various color inks have been as well. Subject matters for this type of art consist of portraits, sketches, still-life's, landscapes, abstracts and ect. The most prolific ballpoint pen artist, publisher, video producer and information provider Jerry Stith,[1] is known for pushing in the whole new movement of using ballpoint pens as a medium for illustrating and drawing period. He has produced 3,750 of his own art pieces using this medium and is still continuing as of 2011. The movement itself has been going on for some time and is picking up speed even now. Thanks to his enthusiasm in this new form of art many amazing artist such as Babis Kiliaris, Juan F. Casas, Virginia Rodriguez Cañete, Andrey Hrenov and Shirish Deshpande [2] have appeared in the art world. Not only are the many artworks created with this medium made for just amusement they are being placed in exhibits such as the one by the Korean artist Il Lee, who will display his abstract drawings at The Crow Collection of Asian Art located in Dallas, Texas on April 8, 2011.[3]

depuis quelques jours, des gens me disaient avoir vu un oiseau avec une lanière de cuir aux pattes.Ce matin par temps brumeux et nuageux je le croisse sur les fils électriques, il s'agit d'une buse de Swainson mais le propriétaire retracé mentionne qu'il s'agit d'une une buse à queue rousse de forme Halarn d’Alaska qui se déplace avec difficulté et semble avoir mal à une aile. Il a à ses pattes une lanière de cuir et ce n'est pas accidentelle puisque la lanière de cuir est tressée et a été placée volontairement et il est bagué .
La Buse à queue rousse (Buteo jamaicensis) est une espèce d'oiseau de proie, ou rapace d'Amérique du Nord.
o
Identification
La Buse à queue rousse adulte a la queue de couleur rousse (ce qui lui a donné son nom), terminée ou non par une barre noire. Elle a des ailes longues et larges. L'adulte a le dos et le haut des ailes brun foncé. Son plumage est variable, allant du brun roux clair au brun foncé. Les parties inférieures sont plus claires que les supérieures. Le bas de l'abdomen est plus pâle que le reste du corps, traversé par une bande foncée. La queue est uniformément rousse et large. Le bec est court et crochu, la cire est jaune, l'extrémité est noire. Les yeux sont brun foncé. Les pattes et les doigts sont jaunes. La femelle est 25 % plus grande que le mâle, mais leurs plumages sont identiques. L'immature ressemble aux adultes, mais il a les yeux plus clairs. Il est davantage strié, sa queue est brune, barrée de plusieurs bandes foncées. On trouve deux phases, la claire et la foncée, et au moins 14 sous-espèces, avec de grandes différences au niveau du plumage et de l'habitat.
Vocalisations
Chants et appels
La Buse à queue rousse piaule ; son cri est une sorte de hennissement râpeux « keeeear ». Ce cri varie avec l'âge et le lieu. Il est souvent entendu quand il plane. Les jeunes émettent un doux et bas pépiement, devenant plus profond avec l'âge. Quand les parents quittent le nid, les jeunes émettent un vagissement perçant « Klee-uk » répété, pour quémander de la nourriture.
Comportements
La Buse à queue rousse chasse de plusieurs manières, et capture toute sorte de proies. Généralement, elle reste sur un pylône ou un perchoir haut, et fond sur sa proie dès qu'elle est repérée. Mais elle peut aussi chasser en volant, regardant au sol avec attention, grâce à sa vue perçante lui permettant de détecter le moindre mouvement à grande distance. Elle peut détecter une souris à 100 mètres de hauteur.
Elle utilise ses puissantes serres comme une arme. Elle peut aussi voltiger sur place contre les vents, cherchant une proie au sol. La Buse à queue rousse est active pendant le jour. Les petites proies sont portées sur le perchoir pour y être dévorées, tandis que les plus grosses sont consommées au sol. Pendant la parade nuptiale, le couple plane en larges cercles en lançant des cris aigus, à grande hauteur. Le mâle plonge en un à pic abrupt, puis remonte, répétant ces manœuvres plusieurs fois, et à la fin, il s'approche de la femelle par en haut, et étend ses pattes pour agripper brièvement les serres de la femelle. Ils descendent alors en spirale vers le sol, se lâchant au dernier moment. Le mâle peut aussi attraper une proie et la passer à la femelle pendant le vol. Les deux partenaires s'accouplent après cette parade, debout sur un perchoir, se toilettant réciproquement, et là, la femelle permet au mâle de s'accoupler. La Buse à queue rousse, comme la plupart des autres oiseaux, a des postures corporelles qui expriment un langage. Posture agressive, avec la tête et le corps dressés et les plumes hérissées; posture de soumission, avec la tête basse et les plumes lisses ; parades aériennes pendant la période nuptiale ; vol ondulant et piqués, utilisés aussi dans la défense du territoire. La Buse à queue rousse s'accouple pour la vie. Ce sont des oiseaux territoriaux, défendant agressivement leur zone, la femelle plutôt près du nid, et le mâle à travers tout le territoire.
Habitat
La Buse à queue rousse vit dans les zones herbeuses, les marais buissonneux, mais aussi dans les déserts ou les forêts, depuis le niveau de la mer jusqu'à des altitudes variables, mais près d'un cours d'eau, d'un lac ou d'un champ.
Elle n'hésite pas à même s'installer en ville (On la trouve même dans Manhattan, et dans Central Park)
Répartition
La Buse à queue rousse se reproduit depuis l'Alaska jusqu'au Labrador, et vers le sud, jusqu'au Mexique, Bahamas et Caraïbes, et Amérique centrale. Elle hiverne depuis le sud du Canada jusque vers le sud. Les oiseaux du nord migrent au sud en hiver, mais la plupart des autres oiseaux sont résidents à l'année.
Vol
La Buse à queue rousse a un vol agile et puissant, effectuant des vols acrobatiques pendant la parade nuptiale. C'est un rapace qui vole haut. Il plane sans effort avec les ailes tendues en un V peu profond. C'est un oiseau très actif en vol, battant beaucoup des ailes.
Nidification
Le nid de la Buse à queue rousse est un grand bol volumineux. Il est fait de brindilles, écorces, et feuilles, haut dans un arbre ou sur le bord d'une falaise. Il peut être réutilisé année après année. Le nid est construit par les deux adultes. Des matériaux frais, aiguilles de conifères et matériaux végétaux verts, sont déposés dans le nid tout au long de la période de reproduction, afin de le garder propre. La femelle dépose 1 à 5 œufs blancs ou blanc bleuté, variablement tachetés de brun clair. L'incubation dure environ 28 à 35 jours, assurée par les deux parents, davantage par la femelle qui est nourrie au nid par le mâle. Les jeunes naissent nidicoles. Ils sont couverts de duvet blanc et grandissent lentement. Pendant cette période, la femelle les couve, et le mâle nourrit les poussins et la femelle en apportant de la nourriture au nid. La femelle nourrit les petits avec des petits morceaux prélevés sur les proies apportées. Les poussins peuvent abandonner le nid à environ 42 à 46 jours, mais cette période peut durer jusqu'à dix semaines, le temps d'apprendre à voler et à chasser. Les jeunes atteignent leur maturité sexuelle au bout de 3 ans, et cette espèce ne produit qu'une seule couvée par saison.
Régime alimentaire
La Buse à queue rousse se nourrit principalement de petits mammifères (souris, rats, écureuils, rats musqués, belettes), d'oiseaux (canards, pigeons, râles, tourterelles, pics, faisans, corneilles et rarement de la volaille), des reptiles et des amphibiens, des poissons et des invertébrés. La Buse ne boit que très peu d'eau, sauf quand la température dépasse 33°.
Protection / Menaces
La Buse à queue rousse a peu de prédateurs, tels que le grand-duc d'Amérique et les corvidés, les renards roux et les ratons laveurs, qui dévorent poussins et œufs. Elle est menacée par les tirs, les collisions diverses, la perte de l'habitat et les dérangements humains sur les sites de reproduction. L'empoisonnement par le plomb tue aussi beaucoup d'oiseaux chaque année.

D'après Alan P. Peterson, cette espèce est constituée des 15 sous-espèces

"The fossil stumps are internal casts formed by sand which was washed into the hollow centre of the decaying trunk and roots and later hardened to sandstone. None of the original plant material remains.
The steps in the process were:
1. The living trees were killed when the area in which they were growing was flooded and the water deposited sand and mud around them.
2. The trunks projecting above the sediment broke off and were washed away.
3. The stumps decayed in the middle leaving only the outer bark.
4. More sediment was then washed into the now hollow stump and roots.
5. While deeply buried, the sand and mud were converted into solid rock and the bark to a very thin layer of coal.
6. After discovery, the rock outside the stumps and the coal layer were removed to leave the sandstone casts of the inside of the trees visible today."

According to the internet, this is Tenderheart Care Bear, one of the bears in the religious cult in the 80s: "The Care Bears"
A Care Bears' ultimate weapon is the "Care Bear Stare," in which the collected Bears stand together and radiate light from their respective tummy symbols. These combine to form a ray of love and good cheer which could bring care and joy into the target's heart. The Care Bear Stare has several different looks. One has a beam coming from the tummy being made up of several replicated images of the symbol. Another variation forms a rainbow when multiple Bears and/or Cousins are involved

Castilleja integrifolia, dendritica form, Langenheim 3029, UC Herbarium.
This is possibly an undescribed variety of the widespread C. integrifolia. These specimens are from the Andes of Colombia and are different from the nominate form in having a pubescence of strongly branched (dendritic) hairs, unlike the undivided hairs typical of all other forms of C. integrifolia.

FORMS OF CRUDE RUBBER, AKRON, OHIO
This picture was taken in a great rubber goods factory in Akron, Ohio. The raw rubber you see here has come from several places in the tropics. For rubber trees grow in hot countries only, such as Brazil, Mexico, and Africa.
The rubber tree is a tall, straight tree, oftentimes 60 feet high. Its bark looks like that of the beech, and it has graceful plumes for leaves. Between the bark and the wood is a gummy fluid called latex. It is not the sap of the tree. From latex crude rubber is made.
On the upper Amazon the natives go into the jungles in October to gather rubber. They tap the trees in two ways. One is by cutting the bark in a wide gash that girdles the trunk in a spiral. A trough or a pail is set, and into this the latex flows from the gash. Each day the gash is extended. The other way is to tap the trees in much the same manner as sugar maples.
On top of the latex so gathered a sort of cream rises. The native dips a paddle in this and holds it over a smudge of palm leaves or nuts until the latex dries. This plan he continues till he has a great ball of the size you see. The crude rubber is brought down the Amazon River in boats. Para is the chief city of the world in the export of raw rubber.
In the East Indies there are many rubber plantations. There the latex is thickened by an acid, and the rubber is rolled into sheets. It is these sheets that you see on the truck.
The United States imports yearly over 100,000,000 pounds of rubber. This is almost as much as Great Britain, Germany, and France combined import in the same time.
Just Magestic!
The kapok is often associated with the supernatural. In Africa, the kapok is also considered sacred. It is said that sleeping on pillows made of kapok cotton will bring good luck, purify and empower your material and spiritual energy and bring good dreams and saintly vibrations. Slaves brought to the Caribbean often slept on mattresses and pillows stuffed with kapok. Interestingly enough, this custom was often shunned by white planters and plantation overseers who believed that sleeping on kapok pillows brought about nightmares

El complejo de edificios que forman la Villa del Casale es el descubrimiento arqueoógico más importante de la Sicilia Romana. La lujosa vila de campo que se cree perteneció a la familia imperial de Masimiliano Ercúleo, está situada en el fértil valle del río Gela y fue construida entre finales del siglo III y primeros años del siglo IV dC en el centro de un latifundio rural.De acuerdo con Vinicio Gentili, al que se debe su descubrimiento arqueoógico, el mayor esplendor de la villa fueron los siglos IV y V dC. El latifundio estaba formado por una aldea rural, "mansiones" y cortijos donde los eclavos y "procuratores" labraban la tierra. El gran interéa que suscita la visita de la villa es debido fundamentalmente a los mosaicos que cubren los suelos de todas las habitaciones, galerías y termas y que constituyen un conjunto de singular beleza.
El mosaico de mayor interés es el que recubre el pasillo cubierto llamado "de la caza mayor", con detalles que ilustran las distintas fases de la captura, transporte y muerte de los animales en un escenario puramente africano.
Otro mosaicos de interés es el de la caza menor, en el que ademá de representarse diversas escenas de caza menor se representa en el centro una escena de sacrificio ritual a la diosa de la Caza Artemisa o Diana.
Otros mosaicos interesantes son el del "cubiculum de la escena erótica";el de la sala de "las diez jóvenes hijas", en el que diez doncellas estan representadas vistiendo bikinis en elmomento de realizar ejercicios gimnásticos o de recibir premios.
The remains of a Roman theatre, which over time has been made into charming little apartments with small arched terraces.

John P. Bane, at age twenty-six, formed the Guadalupe (County) Rangers in Seguin and became their first captain. They reported for duty on July 4, 1861, at Camp Clar, a training center on the San Marcos River, and were mustered in on July 27, 1861. After a brief training period they gathered at Houston before going to Virginia, where they became Company D, Fourth Texas Infantry.
Bane was present at the battles of Eltham's Landing, Seven Pines, and Gaines' Mill. He received an arm wound in the last battle and was absent from the unit's next five encounters. He again saw action at Gettysburg, where he took command of the Fourth Texas after Col. John C. G. Key was wounded. Some weeks later Key resumed command, but he apparently never became completely well.
Bane again assumed command of the Fourth Texas in the spring of 1864, before the opening of the Wilderness Campaign. Confederate records indicate that he returned to Texas in the summer of 1864 for recruiting purposes and was there when the war ended. He signed a document in San Antonio on August 25, 1865, listing his home as Guadalupe County, Texas.
