5TH BATTALION, ROYAL AUSTRALIAN REGIMENT’S 50th ANNIVERSARY – FREEDOM OF ENTRY PARADE
Hundreds of people came out to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, as well as to watch the Battalion members exercise their Freedom of Entry to the City of Darwin today.
Around 400 members of the 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, marched and marked the Battalion’s 50th anniversary with a Freedom of Entry Parade.
The soldiers marched dressed in their camouflage uniforms and carrying their personal weapons, accompanied by the Battalion’s mascot, a tiger known as Quintus Rama.
Australian Army Vehicles and the Australian Army Band followed the parade, commencing at the Darwin City Council Offices, marching through Darwin City and finishing at the Darwin Cenotaph on the Esplanade.
His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Ret'd), a former member of the 5th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, inspected the parade and addressed the soldiers as they paused at the Dias at Raintree Park.
During the Govenor-General's speech, he spoke of a soldiers pride in serving their community.
"In this, the 50th anniversary of your founding, you march for your Battalion, for yourselves and for all who have been before you in this famous Battalion. Proudly, displaying the colours that tell the story of who you are, who you represent from the past and all you commit to be in the future," His Excellency said.
Also inspecting the parade members were the Administrator of the Northern Territory, The Hon John Hardy OAM and Darwin Lord Mayor, Katrina Fong Lim.
Darwin Lord Mayor, Katrina Fong Lim was extremely pleased to see the community experience the historic and ceremonial aspects of the Freedom of Entry parade.
“It was a great opportunity for the Darwin community to be a part of a special ceremony that acknowledged the important work of those who have served in war and peace,” the Lord Mayor said.
Commander 1st Brigade, Brigadier Mick Ryan said the Freedom of Entry Parade was an excellent opportunity to highlight the 5th Battalion's 50th anniversary.
"The 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, has a long and proud history and we could not think of a better way to share it than with the people of Darwin. From war time service, to cyclone clean ups, the members of the 5th Battalion, as part of the wider 1st Brigade, live by their motto "duty first", and are proud to serve the NT community," Brigadier Ryan said.
A static display featuring Australian Army vehicles and weaponry was also a feature of today's celebration.
Originally established in 1965, 5th Battalion served two tours of South Vietnam before it was reorganised and linked with the 7th Battalion to form 5th/7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (5/7 RAR), in 1973.
In late 2006, the two battalions were reorganised and de-linked. 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, again joined the Australian Army's order of battle in its own right. 5 RAR has since served in Iraq, Timor-Leste (East Timor) and Afghanistan.
The 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment 's motto is ‘Duty first’.

Raku, a revered Japanese art form, embodies simplicity, imperfection, and an intimate connection between the maker and their medium. Originating in the 16th century, it was traditionally used to craft tea bowls for the esteemed tea ceremony. Each piece, be it a tea cup, platter, or teapot, tells a story of fire and clay. The process embraces unpredictability as the objects are removed from the kiln while still molten, subjected to cooling that creates crackled glazes, smoky hues, and an air of serendipity.
The wabi-sabi aesthetic, rooted in the appreciation of transience and imperfection, finds its perfect partner in Raku. Together, they celebrate the beauty of flaws—the uneven edges, the crackled surfaces, the asymmetry that speaks of the artist’s hand and the elements’ influence. Raku is not about perfection but about presence, creating vessels that hold not just tea but the soul of the moment.
The Soul of Raku
In flames it breathes, the clay’s true form,
A dance of chaos, fire-streaked warm.
Crackled lines like life's own face,
Each flaw, a mark of time and grace.
In Raku’s hand, wabi-sabi gleams,
Imperfection woven into dreams.
A tea bowl speaks of transient days,
Beauty found in life's uneven ways.
Haikus
Crackled glaze whispers,
Flames kiss the clay with beauty,
Wabi-sabi’s truth.
Hands shape imperfection,
Kiln’s fire carves life in the clay,
Time’s breath etched within.
Tea cradles its bowl,
Fragile, transient, yet whole,
Raku’s humble soul.

The chemtrail conspiracy theory /ˈkɛmtreɪl/ is the erroneous[1] belief that long-lasting condensation trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are actually "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents, sprayed for nefarious purposes undisclosed to the general public.[2] Believers in this conspiracy theory say that while normal contrails dissipate relatively quickly, contrails that linger must contain additional substances.[3][4] Those who subscribe to the theory speculate that the purpose of the chemical release may be solar radiation management,[3] weather modification, psychological manipulation, human population control, biological or chemical warfare, or testing of biological or chemical agents on a population, and that the trails are causing respiratory illnesses and other health problems.[2][5]
The claim has been dismissed by the scientific community.[6] There is no evidence that purported chemtrails differ from normal water-based contrails routinely left by high-flying aircraft under certain atmospheric conditions.[7] Proponents have tried to prove that chemical spraying occurs, but their analyses have been flawed or based on misconceptions.[8][9] Because of the conspiracy theory's persistence and questions about government involvement, scientists and government agencies around the world have repeatedly explained that the supposed chemtrails are in fact normal contrails.[3][10][11]
The term 'chemtrail' is a portmanteau of the words 'chemical' and 'trail', just as 'contrail' blends 'condensation' and 'trail'.[12]
History
Multiple concurrent contrails. How long they last depends upon the weather, especially the temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
Chemtrail conspiracy theories began to circulate after the United States Air Force (USAF) published a 1996 report about weather modification.[11] In the late 1990s, the USAF was accused of "spraying the U.S. population with mysterious substances" from aircraft "generating unusual contrail patterns."[7][13] The theories were posted on Internet forums by people including Richard Finke and William Thomas and were among many conspiracy theories popularized by late-night radio host Art Bell, starting in 1999.[14][9] As the chemtrail conspiracy theory spread, federal officials were flooded with angry calls and letters.[11][3]
A multi-agency response attempting to dispel the rumors was published in 2000 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).[15][16] Many chemtrail believers interpreted agency fact sheets as further evidence of the existence of a government cover-up.[3] The EPA refreshed its posting in 2015.[17]
In the early 2000s, the USAF released an undated fact sheet that stated the conspiracy theories were a hoax fueled in part by citations to a 1996 strategy paper drafted within their Air University titled Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025.[18][19] The paper was presented in response to a military directive to outline a future strategic weather modification system for the purpose of maintaining the United States' military dominance in the year 2025, and identified as "fictional representations of future situations/scenarios."[19] The USAF further clarified in 2005 that the paper "does not reflect current military policy, practice, or capability" and that it is "not conducting any weather modification experiments or programs and has no plans to do so in the future."[7][20] Additionally, the USAF states that the "'chemtrail' hoax has been investigated and refuted by many established and accredited universities, scientific organizations, and major media publications."[7]
The conspiracy theories are seldom covered by the mainstream media, and when they are, they are usually cast as an example of anti-government paranoia.[4] For example, in 2013, when it was made public that the CIA, NASA, and NOAA intended to provide funds to the National Academy of Sciences to conduct research into methods to counteract global warming with geoengineering, an article in the International Business Times anticipated that "the idea of any government agency looking at ways to control, or manipulate, the weather will be met with scrutiny and fears of a malign conspiracies" [sic], and mentioned chemtrail conspiracy theories as an example.[21]
Description
Proponents of the chemtrail conspiracy theory find support for their theories in their interpretations of sky phenomena, videos posted to the Internet, and reports about government programs; they also have certain beliefs about the goals of the alleged conspiracy and the effects of its alleged efforts and generally take certain actions based on those beliefs.
Interpretation of evidence

Proponents of the chemtrail conspiracy theory say that chemtrails can be distinguished from contrails by their long duration, asserting that the chemtrails are those trails left by aircraft that persist for as much as a half-day or transform into cirrus-like clouds.[4] The proponents claim that after 1995, contrails had a different chemical composition and lasted a lot longer in the sky; proponents fail to acknowledge evidence of long-lasting contrails shown in World War II–era photographs.[9]
Proponents characterize contrails as streams that persist for hours and that, with their criss-cross, grid-like, or parallel stripe patterns, eventually blend to form large clouds. Proponents view the presence of visible color spectra in the streams, unusual concentrations of sky tracks in a single area, or lingering tracks left by unmarked or military airplanes flying atypical altitudes or locations as markers of chemtrails.[3][5][22][23][24]
Photographs of barrels installed in the passenger space of an aircraft for flight test purposes have been claimed to show aerosol dispersion systems. The barrels' actual purpose is to simulate the weight of passengers or cargo. The barrels are filled with water, and the water can be pumped from barrel to barrel to test different centers of gravity while the aircraft is in flight.[25]
Former CIA employee and whistleblower Edward Snowden, interviewed on The Joe Rogan Experience, said he had searched through all the secret information of the U.S. government for evidence about (aliens and) chemtrails. According to a CNN report[26] about the webcast,[27] he said: "In case you were wondering: ... Chemtrails are not a thing" and "I had ridiculous access to the networks of the NSA, the CIA, the military, all these groups. I couldn't find anything".
Jim Marrs has cited a 2007 Louisiana television station report as evidence for chemtrails. In the report, the air underneath a crosshatch of supposed chemtrails was measured and apparently found to contain unsafe levels of barium: at 6.8 parts per million, three times the nationally recommended limit. But a subsequent analysis of the footage showed that the equipment had been misused and the reading exaggerated by a factor of 100—the true level of barium measured was both usual and safe.[8]
In 2014, a video that went viral showed a commercial passenger airplane landing on a foggy night, which was described as emitting chemtrails.[28] Discovery News pointed out that passengers sitting behind the wings would clearly see anything being sprayed, which would defeat any intent to be secretive, and that the purported chemical emission was normal air disruption caused by the wings, visible due to the fog.[28]
In October 2014, Englishman Chris Bovey filmed a video of a plane jettisoning fuel on a flight from Buenos Aires to London, which had to dump fuel to lighten its load for an emergency landing in São Paulo. The clip went viral on Facebook, with over three million views and more than 52,000 shares, cited as evidence of chemtrails. He later disclosed that the video post was done as a prank.[29][30]
In some accounts, the chemicals are described as barium and aluminum salts, polymer fibers, thorium, or silicon carbide.[31]
Chemtrail believers interpret the existence of cloud seeding programs and research into climate engineering as evidence of the conspiracy.[32]
Beliefs
Various versions of the chemtrail conspiracy theory have been propagated via the Internet and radio programs.[3] There are websites dedicated to the conspiracy theory, and it is particularly favored by far-right groups because it fits well with a deep suspicion of the government.[4]
A 2014 review of 20 chemtrail websites found that believers appeal to science in some of their arguments but do not believe what academic or government-employed scientists say;[31] scientists and federal agencies have consistently denied that chemtrails exist, explaining the sky tracks are simply persistent contrails.[3][13][33] The review also found that believers generally hold that chemtrails are evidence of a global conspiracy; they allege various goals which include profit (for example, manipulating futures prices, or making people sick to benefit drug companies), population control, or weapons testing (use of weather as a weapon, or testing bioweapons).[31][33][2] One of these ideas is that clouds are being seeded with electrically conductive materials as part of a massive electromagnetic superweapons program based around the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP).[34][35] Believers say chemtrails are toxic; the 2014 review found that they generally hold that every person is under attack and often express fear, anxiety, sadness, and anger about this.[31] A 2011 study of people from the US, Canada, and the UK found that 2.6% of the sample believed entirely in the conspiracy theory, and 14% believed it partially.[36][31] An analysis of responses given to the 2016 Cooperative Congressional Election Study[37] showed that 9% of the 36,000 respondents believed it was "completely true" that "the government has a secret program that uses airplanes to put harmful chemicals into the air" while a further 19% believed this was "somewhat true".[38]
Chemtrail conspiracy theorists often describe their experience as being akin to a religious conversion experience. When they "wake up" and become "aware" of chemtrails, the experience motivates them to advocacy of various forms.[31] For example, they often attend events and conferences on geoengineering, and have sent threats to academics working in geoengineering.[31]
Some chemtrail believers adopt the notions of Wilhelm Reich, who devised a "cloudbuster" device from pipework. Reich claimed this device would influence weather and remove harmful energy from the atmosphere. Some chemtrail believers have built cloudbusters filled with crystals and metal filings, which are pointed at the sky in an attempt to clear it of chemtrails.[39]
Chemtrail believers sometimes gather samples and have them tested, rather than rely on reports from government or academic laboratories, but their experiments are usually flawed; for example, collecting samples in jars with metal lids contaminates the sample and is not done in scientific testing.[31][40]
Incidents
In 2001, in response to requests from constituents, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced (but did not author) H.R. 2977 (107th), the Space Preservation Act of 2001, which would have permanently prohibited basing weapons in space, listing chemtrails as one of a number of "exotic weapons" that would be banned.[41][42] Proponents have interpreted this explicit reference to chemtrails as official government acknowledgment of their existence.[22][43] Skeptics note that the bill in question also mentions "extraterrestrial weapons" and "environmental, climate, or tectonic weapons".[41] The bill received an unfavorable evaluation from the United States Department of Defense and died in committee, with no mention of chemtrails appearing in the text of any of Kucinich's three subsequent failed attempts to enact a Space Preservation Act.
In 2003, in a response to a petition by concerned Canadian citizens that "chemicals used in aerial sprayings are adversely affecting the health of Canadians", the Government House Leader responded: "There is no substantiated evidence, scientific or otherwise, to support the allegation that there is high altitude spraying conducted in Canadian airspace. The term 'chemtrails' is a popularised expression, and there is no scientific evidence to support their existence."[44][45][46][47] The House leader added, "it is our belief that the petitioners are seeing regular airplane condensation trails or contrails."[44]
In 2005 in the United Kingdom, Elliot Morley, a Minister of State for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs[48] was asked by David Drew, the Labour Party Member of Parliament for Stroud, "what research [the] Department has undertaken into the polluting effects of chemtrails for aircraft", and responded that "the Department is not researching into chemtrails from aircraft as they are not scientifically recognised phenomena", and that work was being conducted to understand "how contrails are formed and what effects they have on the atmosphere."[13][49]
During the 2011–2017 California drought, some local politicians in Shasta County reacted credulously to conspiracy theories suggesting that weather-modifying chemtrails had caused the unusual weather conditions.[50]
Contrails
Main article: Contrail
Contrails from propeller-driven aircraft engine exhaust, early 1940s
Contrails, or condensation trails, are "streaks of condensed water vapor created in the air by an airplane or rocket at high altitudes".[7] Fossil fuel combustion (as in piston and jet engines) produces carbon dioxide and water vapor and soot particulates that act as cloud condensation nuclei. At high altitudes, the air is very cold. Hot humid air from the engine exhaust mixes with the colder surrounding air, causing the water vapor to condense into droplets or ice crystals that form visible clouds. The rate at which contrails dissipate is entirely dependent on weather conditions. If the atmosphere is near saturation, the contrail may exist for some time. Conversely, if the atmosphere is dry, the contrail will dissipate quickly.[7]
Exhaust gases and emissions
Wingtip condensation trails
It is well established by atmospheric scientists that contrails can persist for hours, and that it is normal for them to spread out into cirrus sheets. The different-sized ice crystals in contrails descend at different rates, which spreads the contrail vertically. Then the differential in wind speeds between altitudes (wind shear) results in the horizontal spreading of the contrail. This mechanism is similar to the formation of cirrus uncinus clouds. Contrails between 25,000 and 40,000 feet (7,600 and 12,200 m) can often merge into an "almost solid" interlaced sheet.[51] Contrails can have a lateral spread of several kilometers, and given sufficient air traffic, it is possible for contrails to create an entirely overcast sky that increases the ice budget of individual contrails and persists for hours.[52]

Experts on atmospheric phenomena say that the characteristics attributed to chemtrails are simply features of contrails responding to diverse conditions in terms of sunlight, temperature, horizontal and vertical wind shear, and humidity levels present at the aircraft's altitude.[3][7][5][22] In the US, the gridlike nature of the National Airspace System's flight lanes tends to cause crosshatched contrails, and in general it is hard to discern from the ground whether overlapping contrails are at similar altitudes or not.[7] The jointly published fact sheet produced by NASA, the EPA, the FAA, and NOAA in 2000 in response to alarms over chemtrails details the science of contrail formation, and outlines both the known and potential impacts of contrails have on temperature and climate.[20] The USAF produced a fact sheet that described these contrail phenomena as observed and analyzed since at least 1953. It also rebutted chemtrail theories more directly by identifying the theories as a hoax and disproving the existence of chemtrails.[7][3]
Patrick Minnis, an atmospheric scientist with NASA's Langley Research Center, has said that logic does not dissuade most chemtrail proponents: "If you try to pin these people down and refute things, it's, 'Well, you're just part of the conspiracy'".[3]
Analysis of the use of commercial aircraft tracks for climate engineering has shown them to be generally unsuitable.[53]
Astronomer Bob Berman has characterized the chemtrail conspiracy theory as a classic example of failure to apply Occam's razor, writing in 2009 that instead of adopting the long-established "simple solution" that the trails consist of frozen water vapor, "the conspiracy web sites think the phenomenon started only a decade ago and involves an evil scheme in which 40,000 commercial pilots and air traffic controllers are in on the plot to poison their own children."[54]
A 2016 survey of 77 atmospheric scientists concluded that "76 out of 77 (98.7%) of scientists that took part in this study said they had not encountered evidence of a [secret large-scale atmospheric program] (SLAP), and that the data cited as evidence could be explained through other factors, such as typical contrail formation and poor data sampling instructions presented on SLAP websites."[6][55]
A crowd forms on Market Street outside the courthouse in Snow Hill, Maryland November 6, 1931 after information leaked out that Euel Lee was to appear in court the following day.
Lee did not make an appearance on November 7th, but his attorney Bernard Ades and a female companion showed up for a court appearance and were attacked and beaten outside the courthouse.
Green Davis and his wife Ivy and two children were murdered in 1931 in their Berlin, Maryland home purportedly over a wage dispute, setting off a two-year sensational prosecution and defense of Euel Lee who was also known as Orphan Jones.
Lee’s case was taken up by the Maryland Communist Party and they waged a public campaign with demonstrations, letters and telegrams while his attorney Bernard Ades fought tenaciously in the courts. Ades succeeded in obtaining several changes of venue that thwarted lynch mobs and overturned Maryland’s longstanding practice of barring African Americans from juries.
Despite the efforts, Lee was executed October 28, 1933 and the state refused to hand the body over to Ades despite Lee’s written wishes. Lee was then buried in an unmarked grave.
Disbarment proceedings were brought against Ades and he was defended in Maryland courts by Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall—the first white man in Maryland defended by black lawyers. Ades escaped disbarment with a reprimand.

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

La pobreza es una situación o forma de vida que surge como producto de la imposibilidad de acceso o carencia de los recursos para satisfacer las necesidades físicas y psíquicas básicas humanas que inciden en un deterioro del nivel y calidad de vida de las personas, tales como la alimentación, la vivienda, la educación, la asistencia sanitaria o el acceso al agua potable. También se suelen considerar la falta de medios para poder acceder a tales recursos, como el desempleo, la falta de ingresos o un nivel bajo de los mismos. También puede ser el resultado de procesos de segregación social.
Muchas veces nos quejamos por las cosas materiales que no tenemos, el auto propio, la polera azul que viste en la vitrina del mall, o ese video juego que tanto te hace alucinar; aprendamos a valorar lo otro, la felicidad y el bien estar, consideremos como positivo el hecho de tener una familia que te quiera y te proteja; olvídate de los recursos, vive el momento y aprovecha al máximo lo inoportuno de la vida. Aprende a ver la existencia del amor y confía en tú gente

Un paseo por el barrio donde nació, pintó y desarrolló sus primeros conocimientos
De exterior en exterior
Entre Soria y Bilbao, se unieron dos apellidos y dos formas de entendimiento. La visión del abuelo Jorge García Vellosillo, que por medio de un carromato llegó a la segunda ciudad, permite observar la evolución de la sociedad y paso de los años en muy poco tiempo. Quizás del siglo XX al XXI no nos separa sólo la fotografía en Blanco y Negro, sino una serie de cambios en el uso de los medios de comunicación que hacen que nos fijemos en la red como si hubiese estado siempre para quedarse. García Ergüin, en el último paseo realizado, nos enseñó la casa donde nació, la Escuela Cervantes o uno de los lugares más emblemáticos de Bilbao: el Café Iruña. Además, en un día lluvioso, la Calle Iparraguirre y Mazarredo son dos lugares de paso obligado, porque son numerosos los recuerdos de una zona en la que el pintor se ha sentido como en casa, a pesar de los diferentes viajes realizados. En esa cronología, que estamos realizando gracias a las diapositivas de las diferentes exposiciones, análisis de imágenes en papel o el estudio de la obra, cuadro por cuadro, el origen marca una serie de acontecimientos que son de interés y que marcan el compás del tiempo.
Los estudios en los que Iñaki García Ergüin se ha sentido como en casa cambiaron con la evolución del propio pintor, que pintó sus primeros esbozos y bocetos en la calle, con tan sólo 14 años de edad, hasta que miró por su arte trasladando sus utensilios y herramientas de trabajo a la Calle María Muñoz. En poco tiempo, la Calle Gran Vía de Bilbao fue el segundo lugar seleccionado para seguir investigando en el arte de la pintura, con calma y espacio, donde el creador empezó a dar forma a sus cuadros denominados “primitivos”, que sintetizan algunos exteriores de Cuenca, Castilla, Guajasierra, Castro Urdiales, Bermeo o Portugalete, con los bodegones de época, de dificultad añadida por el juego de luces y uso del color.
En la Calle Mazarredo, los placeres y los días, se esfumaban con los viajes por Europa y las exposiciones realizadas en Madrid, ya que los premios llegaron a finales de la década de los cincuenta y los críticos vieron en la figura de Ergüin una promesa capaz de buscar temáticas diferentes para lograr consolidar un estilo propio, original y con marca auténtica que dejará al resto de autores y coetáneos su propio refugio. París, Bad Aibling (Alemania) o las propias localidades cercanas a Bilbao dieron una visión de exterior a un joven artista que recibía las clases de la mano de José de Lorenzo Solís en la escuela, al lado de otros compañeros de profesión.
La infancia, marcada por el transcurso de la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939) y la evolución de la contienda, sobre todo las noticias de la II Guerra Mundial, crean una generación de niños que crecen con el sonido de las bombas, la falta de alimentos de primera necesidad y los “juegos de guerra” en la calle, entre bandas rivales que provenían de los distintos barrios. Para García Ergüin la pintura, como tal, los primeros juguetes y la posibilidad de participar junto a otros niños, se “basaba en la propia definición de las cosas, la creación de juegos y juguetes, así como por medio del uso de la imaginación. Las tizas, como recuerdo en el tiempo presente, son la extensión de la mente y de la mano con la que realizamos los primeros esbozos en la carretera”.
El monte Urkiola, Bermeo o Archanda quedan en un pasado que sigue vigente en la cabeza del autor con más de 5.000 obras a lo largo de una trayectoria profesional significativa, donde con “poco se hacía mucho”. En el viaje realizado a finales del mes de noviembre, el Café Iruña, uno de los sitios más emblemáticos de la ciudad y al lado de los Jardines de Albia, es una de las paradas obligadas de una ruta personalizada por Ergüin, que descubre el barrio que le vio crecer a él y sus dos hermanos. De misma estatura, con sensibilidad y compartiendo las preocupaciones de la época, en el interior del café se relatan numerosas aventuras del pasado, de los primeros éxitos en las exposiciones de Madrid y Bilbao, así como de aquellos sermones de los padres cuando había poco que llevarse a la boca.
Al lado de un plato de jamón, la selección de una serie de productos de excelente calidad y un café con leche –en el caso de Ergüin solo-, las imágenes de exteriores nos permiten ver la decoración preciosista de un lugar que ha contado con los mejores productos de cada región. La Alameda de Mazarredo hasta llegar a la Calle Iparraguirre hace que busquemos cobijo con las primeras gotas de lluvia, hasta llegar al portal y seguir con las fotografías de una casa que fue el lugar de nacimiento del pintor.
El paso por la Escuela Cervantes, después de aquella simulación de paseo por en medio de la calzada realizada por el padre del artista (León) en los cincuenta, hacen que giremos sobre nuestros pasos para ver y observar aquella terraza de la Calle de Mazarredo, dejando atrás los sonidos de aquellos pájaros que nos llegan del interior del colegio de al lado. Por otra parte, contrastando las épocas, la etapa de Madrid ha permitido el desarrollo profesional de García Ergüin que disfrutó de su propio estudio en la Calle Velázquez, Nº54, aunque esas fotografías se realizarán en los próximos viajes y paradas del recorrido sobre la vida del pintor. Con la idea de finalizar un episodio, y la lluvia encima, la vuelta al análisis de la obra cumplió dos facetas. Una, que es notoria, es la consolidación de un fondo artístico que saldrá a la luz en 2013, y la otra, que es importante, es la definición de una persona capaz de adaptar su idea a cualquier tipo de formato para materializarla en obra. Así de sencillo.

For Thanksgiving dinner, my wife made homemade crescent rolls. Here they are ready to go into the oven.
The 2012 scholarship forms will be mailed out next week to all of the sponsors that requested the same student. We still have lots of students that don't have a sponsor. Due to the current economic climate in the US, some of our long-time sponsors have not been able to support their student for the 2012 school year. Here is one of our unsponsored students. A fifth grade girl named Angie Lorena Rojas Parra. You can see her thank you drawing below as well.
If you would like to sponsor Angie, or one of the other students that do not have sponsors let us know. Each sponsorship is $228 for the school year, that amount covers part of their tuition. If you would like to cover their full tuition you can send in $300. To read more about our Colegio Peniel Scholarship Program here.
Colegio Peniel scholarships make great Sunday School, Small Group, or Children's Church projects. Consider supporting a student today, you will make a huge difference in the life of a poor Colombian child by providing them with a quality Christian education.
For FlickrBingo3, week29: FORM
Many of the exchangable tools for an excavator have a similarity of form with the human hand in the appropriate position for a similar function, upscaled.
FORM in this sense is FORM in Swedish, as well.
A form for filling in, as for customs or taxes, is FORMULÄR in Swedish.

The Minarets are a series of jagged peaks located in the Ritter Range, a sub-range of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the state of California. They are easily viewed from Minaret Summit, which is accessible by auto. The peaks bear a certain resemblance to the minarets of Islamic mosques. Collectively, they form an arête, and are a prominent feature in the Ansel Adams Wilderness which was known as the Minaret Wilderness until it was renamed in honor of Ansel Adams in 1984.
The peaks were named in 1868 by the California Geographical Survey, which reported: "To the south of Mount Ritter are some grand pinnacles of granite, very lofty and apparently inaccessible, to which we gave the name of 'the Minarets.'" Seventeen of the Minarets have been given unofficial names, including Michael Minaret, Adams Minaret, Leonard Minaret, and Clyde Minaret. Clyde Minaret, named after Norman Clyde, is the tallest of the spires. The Southeast Face Route of Clyde Minaret is a technical rock climb featured in Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.
The area is notable for two fatalities:
Walter A. Starr, Jr., author of Starr’s Guide to the John Muir Trail and the High Sierra Region, fell to his death while solo-climbing the northwest face of Michael Minaret in 1933.
Steve Fossett, an American aviator and adventurer, died in a plane crash near the Minarets in 2007.
