La Guadalupita,un templo que respira vida

La Guadalupita, un templo que respira vida

La mancha urbana ocultó el templo, pero no el ánimo de los fieles.

El testimonio de los sacerdotes hace que la feligresía tenga “hambre de Dios”.

Mauricio Carmona R.

Entre las calles de la Colonia San Rafael, plagada de teatros y centros nocturnos, subsiste la iglesia de la “Guadalupita”, como lo llaman los vecinos. Y a pesar de que pareciera una zona cerrada a la Palabra de Dios, los sacerdotes y la comunidad han hecho ver lo contrario.

El templo

Image

Narra la historia que donde hoy se levanta el Palacio de Bellas Artes, vivió la familia Aguilar Reyes, católicos nobles y buenos, cuya vivienda desapareció luego de un terrible incendio. La madre había quedado atrapada en el interior de la casa, por lo que se encomendó a una imagen de la Guadalupana que se hallaba en la recámara; a cambio de salir con vida de esa catástrofe, le prometió a la Virgen un oratorio.

La Reina de los Cielos escuchó las súplicas, pues pronto un vecino tendió una escalera y otros más le ayudaron a descender hasta quedar a salvo. El fuego consumió todo, excepto el cuadro milagroso de la Santísima Virgen de Guadalupe.

Pasados algunos meses, la familia se dio a la tarea de construir una capilla a la Morenita en una propiedad de la naciente Colonia San Rafael. Viendo la devoción que los vecinos tenían a la imagen, pidieron permiso a la Sagrada Mitra para celebrar Misa todos los domingos en el pequeño recinto.

El Arzobispo de México, entonces Mons. Luis María Martínez, viendo la cantidad de fieles que acudían, decretó que la capilla fuera elevada a rango de parroquia, delegando el cuidado pastoral a los sacerdotes Misioneros Oblatos de María Inmaculada. Con grandes esfuerzos, el amplio y hermoso templo fue concluido y dedicado el 12 de octubre de 1954, con el nombre de “Iglesia de la Guadalupita”, convirtiéndose además en la casa madre de la orden.

La comunidad

A pesar del gran tamaño del templo, tanto en profundidad como en altura, la mancha urbana no cedió terreno y dejó casi invisible el recinto. Ni los enormes puentes del Circuito Interior ni los numerosos teatros y locales de la zona dejan ver con facilidad la iglesia.

Pese a ello, la comunidad no cede ante cualquier dificultad, y en verdad que las tiene. Las distintas calles que rodean el templo se han visto plagadas por centros nocturnos y pequeños “antros”, que han hecho de aquellos parajes una zona roja; incluso, parecía retador el hecho de que justo a las puertas de la parroquia se encontrara uno de estos bares. La comunión y solidaridad de los vecinos de la Guadalupita no se hizo esperar para resolver la situación y, después de largos acuerdos, se logró el cierre del establecimiento. El P. Ricardo Junius, párroco del lugar, nos comenta la satisfacción que siente por encontrarse en medio de una comunidad actuante.

“Pienso que somos una comunidad muy unida y con ganas de compartir nuestra fe”, explicó el sacerdote de origen estadounidense. “Estamos ansiosos de propagar con más devoción el Evangelio, sobre todo con los vecinos que llegan a los nuevos departamentos que han construido”. Y es que en los últimos años, la zona ha quedado repleta de condominios, generando con ello, más dificultades para transmitir el mensaje de Cristo.

La Pastoral

La iglesia de la Guadalupita ha quedado oculta por la mancha urbana, pero no ha sucedido lo mismo con el espíritu de trabajo de los fieles, el cual deja entrever el esfuerzo que han hecho los padres Oblatos en la actividad pastoral que se destaca.

“Muchas personas se han mudado a otras partes de la ciudad y algo que nos entusiasma es ver sus rostros cada domingo en Misa o en nuestros grupos parroquiales. Vienen desde lejos a su parroquia”, confesó el P. Ricardo.

El trabajo que han realizado los sacerdotes ha hecho eco en la comunidad. “Nos llena mucho ver a los padres trabajar desde muy temprano y hasta avanzada hora la noche”, comentó la señora Felicita, quien además explicó que “los sacerdotes nos han hecho sentir hambre de Dios y de Su Palabra ¿Y cómo no sentirlo al ver el testimonio y ejemplo de nuestros padres?”

Por ello, y a solicitud de la comunidad, iniciará un Curso de Evangelización a partir del 5 de febrero, fiesta de san Felipe de Jesús. “Será un curso muy completo donde se descubrirá a Cristo, paz y alegría permanente, y que logrará nuestro objetivo principal que es ser representantes vivos del Evangelio”.

Entre los proyectos de esta comunidad, cabe destacar también la creación de nuevos grupos parroquiales como son los ministros extraordinarios, equipo litúrgico, renovación carismática y un foro de debates sobre temas fuertes de interés para la Iglesia Católica”.

Finalmente, los fieles, como don Ramiro, no pierden la esperanza de que este hermoso templo pueda llegar a ser una basílica menor, puesto que el número de asistentes es grande y “tal vez a nuestra Madre le gustaría que esta casita suya también se considerara santuario de oración”

PERU_7 - Templo de Viracocha en Raqchi by °° OJOS DE AGUA °°

El Templo de Viracocha ( Cultura incaica - Imperio incaico )

.

Templo de Viracocha

www.inkaexpress.com.pe/eng/raqchi.php

.

Raqchi es un sitio arqueológico de los Incas en la región Cusco en Perú también conocido como el Templo de Wiracocha. Un pueblo cercano tiene el mismo nombre. Ambos se encuentran alo lado del Río Vilcanota ( Rio Urubamba ). El sitio ha experimentado un reciente aumento en el turismo en los últimos años, con 83.334 visitantes al sitio en 2006, frente a 8.183 en 2000 y 452 en 1996.

A 117 km ( 2 horas ) desde la ciudad Cusco se encuentra una de las construcciones mas grandes de los Incas. El templo fue destruido en la conquista, pero lo que hoy queda es suficiente para encender la imaginacion y ver cuan grandioso fue 92 metros ( 302 ft ) de largo y 25.5 metros ( 84 ft ) de ancho. El templo es de paredes de adobe y la base de piedras volcanicas ( el Andesita ) en el estilo tipico de los Incas. Esto Templo se compone de un muro de adobe central de la altura entre 18 y 20 metros. Está flanqueada a cada lado por una hilera de once columnas. Antes de su destrucción por los españoles, el templo tenía el mayor techo en el tiempo de Imperio Inca, que tiene su pico en la pared central ( 18 y 20 metros ), a continuación, se extiende sobre las columnas en anchura de 25 metros ( 82 ft ) más allá de cada lado. El templo solo para ser el edificio más grande en el Imperio Inca.

El complejo tambien incluye areas residenciales y graneros, donde se guardaban alimentos. Junto al templo al norte son doce viviendas, que habría albergado a los sacerdotes y los administradores locales. El salón está dividido en lotes separados cuadrado mayor de los cuales es aproximadamente 4x6m. Todos tienen nichos en las paredes que podrían haber sido utilizados para el almacenamiento. Para el lado oriental del templo son unos 100 qolqas (.almacenes rondas.) en líneas paralelas, cada uno mide unos 10 metros ( 33 ft ) de diámetro. Estos almacenes se utiliza para mantener los granos, como el maíz y quinoa. Los depósitos también son únicos ya que a diferencia de otras estructuras en todo el imperio que no son cuadrados acorralado. La razón de esto es desconocido. Un empleo ritual de los productos alimenticios y una economía de campo perfecta se consideran como probable. las hambrunas eran desconocidas antes de la llegada de los españoles en el imperio de los Incas.

Al oeste del templo es un gran campo, ahora se utilizan por los lugareños para la agricultura,

que podría haber sido un parque de atracciones o mantener desbordamiento de fieles desde el mismo templo. En el extremo occidental de este campo es un conjunto de baños como en los sitios importantes a lo largo del imperio.

Kuthodaw Pagoda (ကုသိုလ်တော်‌ဘုရား), Mandalay (မန္တလေး) by Mary Loosemore

1

Saturday 26 October 2013: Mandalay (မန္တလေး)

Our free day in Mandalay (မန္တလေး) (map) started with a walking tour of Ze Cho / Zegyo market, led by Josh, which was really interesting. The group then split into those who did a sight seeing tour with Josh as an optional extra (why not include it - as we found out, DIY in Mandalay is far harder than elsewhere), and Joelle, Anna, Miriam and I who opted to try out hand at taking in the sights on public transport.... where we had variable success: finding the bus stops near the market was tricky, but we had lots of help from local people (and even more offers from taxi drivers who wanted to take us on a tour), but unfortunately our first bus got a flat type somewhere on 32nd Street, and the next bus we hopped on to get us up to the cluster of pagodas north east of the Mandalay Palace (မန္တလေး နန်းတော်) complex charged us 1000k each (I think the local fare was closer to 100k-200k).... At least our adventures on public transport meant I got familiar with numbers written in Burmese script.

Along with the Palace, several of the pagodas are covered by a $10 combined ticket, but we decided to avoid those and focused instead on "the world's biggest book" - aka the inscribed marble 'tomb stones' at Kuthodaw Pagoda (ကုသိုလ်တော်‌ဘုရား) (although getting into it we took the "scenic route" around the perimeter walls and through some goat-filled woods). We did get to see the beautiful carved teak of the Shwe Nandaw Kyaung / Shwenandaw Monastery (ရွှေနန်းတော်ကျောင်း) through the bars of the railings that surround it, and the outside of the Atumashi Kyaung (အတုမရှိကျောင်း) monastery next door. We did a lot of walking, in vain, in search of the Sandamundi Pagoda - I think our directions/info was wrong as we wandered along long N-S streets and the military compounds that sit to the east of Mandalay Hill.

Having sat on a very slow bus back to the Ze Cho / Zegyo market area, we cut out losses and negotiated with a private taxi driver to take us to the sights south west of the city centre, which proved 3000k each well spent as he took us to the quiet (free) entrances to the stunning Maha Muni Pagoda (မဟာမုနိဘုရားကြီး), where the (male) faithful stick gold leaf offerings onto the ever growing Sacred Living Image of the Buddha, and the Shwe In Bin Kyaung, where we got to go inside the beautiful carved teak monastery building and to wander around the grounds (almost) all by ourselves.

At 4 o'clock we rendezvoused in the reception of the Silver Star Hotel, and were driven to Mandalay Hill (မန္တလေးတောင်), where sadly the rain impinged on our sunset views over Mandalay but (re)visting the Kuthodaw Pagoda en route (would have been nice to have been told that this morning). Still, dinner at the really super Super 81 made up for the rain - a feast, and a bargain to boot!

Week 1: Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp by Willow Grove Day Camp

willowgrovedaycamp.com/willows.html

The Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp is a camp for 3 and 4 year old children. This unique camp experience offers your child an early opportunity to learn and socialize with children their own age.

During the first week of camp, lots of fun was had as the children and counselors got to know each other. “Sun and Surf” was our first week theme. The children really enjoyed decorating their bucket and shovel memo pads during Arts and Crafts. Along with this activity, the Polar Bears and Penguins enthusiastically participated in Nature, Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis and Soccer. We are looking forward to the next seven weeks of fun-filled activities.

Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

Une démarche de développement durable

Le centre de production horticole, c'est 13 300 m2 de serres qui figurent sans doute parmi les plus modernes et performantes du pays. "Nous n'avons pas voulu nous contenter de remplacer les vieilles serres de Créteil et Limeil-Brévannes, explique Thierry

Deman, responsable de la production florale et arboricole de Plaine centrale. Notre objectif, c'était de créer un site de production qui garantisse un haut rendement, respecte l'environnement et offre au personnel de bonnes conditions de travail. C'est

pourquoi nous nous sommes inscrits dans une démarche HQE (haute qualité environnementale) de développement durable."

C'est ainsi que les constructions ont été intégrées dans leur environnement, que les serres ont été travaillées et disposées pour limiter au maximum l'impact visuel, que les arbres et les haies existants ont été préservés et que les matériaux choisis (bois,

verre, aluminium, acier inoxydable, linoléum, peintures sans solvant) l'ont été pour leurs faibles nuisances environnementales.

À l'intérieur, la plupart des réseaux ont été enterrés et l'éclairage a été réalisé avec des luminaires basse luminancepour améliorer le confort visuel.

Les équipements bruyants ont été mis dans des lieux isolés pour limiter les nuisances sonores, des siphons ont été placés régulièrement sur les dallages pour faciliter le nettoyage du sol, des ouvrants de pignons et de toiture ont été installés pour permettre

le brassage et le renouvellement de l'air.

Des économies d'eau et d'énergie

Mais le respect de la démarche HQE est surtout sensible dans la gestion économique et écologique de l'énergie et de l'eau.

De nombreuses dispositions ont ainsi été prises pour réaliser des économies de chauffage et améliorer le confort de travail du personnel (énergie humaine) : orientation des serres dans l'axe nord-sud pour un ensoleillement maximum, utilisation d'un verre spécial pour une filtration positive des rayons solaires (rétention

des UVA), régulation informatisée du climat et installation d'une chaudière à grand volume d'eau, mise en place de chaînes de production pour diminuer les déplacements, les efforts et contraintes physiques, concentration des aires de culture

autour de la galerie de travail.

Par ailleurs, tout a été conçu pour limiter les prélèvements d'eau et supprimer les rejets. C'est ainsi qu'un bassin de récupération des eaux de toiture a été réalisé et qu'un système d'arrosage, fondé sur le drainage et le recyclage des eaux de sol

a été mis en œuvre (voir encadré).

Ce sont bien, ainsi, des serres du XXIe siècle qui ont ouvert à Mandres-les-Roses. Un univers de fleurs et de plantes vertes certes, mais aussi de tapis de convoyage, de ponts roulants et de chariots mécaniques, car l'automatisation est omniprésente et a

permis à chaque étape de la production (rempotage, fertilisation ...) et de la manutention (transport du terreau, des plaques de culture ...) d'éliminer la plupart des tâches pénibles. Quant aux ordinateurs dont la présence peut également surprendre, ils

gèrent, ni plus ni moins que le chauffage, l'arrosage et le climat.

Un système d'arrosage innovant

En matière de développement durable et de protection de l'environnement, les serres communautaires se situent à la pointe de la technologie. Alors que les dégâts causés aux nappes phréatiques par les engrais et traitements divers sont depuis longtemps avérés et que l'eau devient un bien de plus en plus précieux, les serres communautaires ne polluent pas et permettent de réaliser des économies. Elles le doivent à l'installation d'un système d'arrosage qui met en œuvre le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage et la récupération des eaux de pluie (ou eaux de toiture). Comme le montre le schéma ci-dessous, le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage s'effectue par filtration à travers une toile perméable et une couche de roche volcanique au pouvoir tampon, disposées sous les plantes. Les eaux de pluie, elles, sont récupérées dans un bassin de 500 m3. Après mélange et fertilisation dans une station de pompage, eaux de pluie et d'arrosage sont dirigées sur les rampes d'arrosage.

Hindi Gospel Song | कोई भी परमेश्वर के आगमन को नहीं जानता है | Lord Jesus Has Returned to the World by इरादा

hi.kingdomsalvation.org/videos/no-one-is-aware-of-gods-gr...

कोई न जाने परमेश्वर के आगमन को,

कोई नहीं करता स्वागत परमेश्वर के आगमन का।

यहाँ तक कि, कोई नहीं जानता वह सब जो करेगा परमेश्वर।

कोई नहीं जानता वह सब जो करेगा परमेश्वर।

मानव का जीवन रहता है अपरिवर्तित;

वैसा ही हृदय, जो धड़कता है हर आम दिन।

परमेश्वर रहता है हमारे बीच जैसे हो कोई साधारण मानव,

जैसे हो अनुयायियों का एक सबसे महत्वहीन सदस्य,

जैसे कोई एक साधारण विश्वासी।

उसका है अपना स्वंय का काम, और उसके अपने लक्ष्य।

और उसके पास है दिव्यता जो किसी मनुष्य के पास नहीं, पास नहीं।

किसी ने उसकी दिव्यता के अस्तित्व पर या उसके और मनुष्य के तत्व,

बीच के अंतर पर ध्यान नहीं दिया है, ध्यान नहीं दिया है।

हम रहते हैं साथ उसके, बिना किसी बंधन और भय के,

क्योंकि हम देखते हैं उसे जैसे वो एक महत्वहीन

विश्वासी से अधिक कुछ ना हो।

वह देखता है हमारी हर गति को,

और हमारे सभी विचार और अवधारणाएँ हैं सामने उसके

बिना किसी पर्दे के।

नहीं है किसी को कोई रूचि परमेश्वर के अस्तित्व में,

किसी की नहीं है कोई कल्पना उसके कार्य में,

और यहाँ तक कि, वह कौन है इस बारे में किसी को कोई संदेह भी नहीं है।

हम जुटे रहते हैं अपने कामों में,

जैसे परमेश्वर का हमसे कुछ लेना-देना ही नहीं है,

लेना-देना ही नहीं है, लेना-देना ही नहीं है।

"Hybrid Heaven" (Client: Konami / Agency: INTAC / Circa: 1998) by wintersmithen

1

Sample: Arrrrgh! I'm you! You're me!

Somewhere in Konami, there is a box where all Really Stupid Ideas go. It may be an orange crate, a novelty cookie tin, or just a sturdy cardboard box that looked too useful to toss. I am convinced that the box exists, and that it was opened sometime in 1998, because no other facts will adequately explain Hybrid Heaven.

Let's take a deep breath and get started...

Aliens exist. Some of the aliens are nice, and others are evil. Evil but wily. They want to take over Earth, which just goes to show how desperate the galactic real estate situation is getting. So one of the evil aliens infiltrates the mothership of a nice alien race on its way to peacefully explore the planet Earth. The ship arrives at its landing site under New York City (apparently, the Manhattan bedrock is a myth), evil alien enslaves good aliens, and starts creating an unholy hybrid (of what, is not explained) clone army to take over the planet. All this multitasking leaves him little time; hence he has no name other than 'The Master'. He also makes hybrid clones that look exactly like certain people (like the American president) so he can pull switcheroos. The technology for sucking out people's memories comes in real handy whenever a swap takes place. Luckily, a lone Secret Service Agent has nothing better to do than get in The Master's way...

Is there even a point in criticizing a video game for having an appalling plot, terrible dialogue, and barely cardboard characters?

My answer is yes. There's 'pretty bad' like Metal Gear Solid, which wants to marry Clancy-style political-military-adventure thriller to the Japanese giant-robot anime tradition (some traditions should be dumped, and widow burning and giant robots are two of them), then there's bad like a rotten egg. Metal Gear's bad writing doesn't get in the way of much that is good about the game, while Hybrid Heaven's stinks to—well, high heaven. Hell, given a team of good disciplined writers with a sense of humor, it would still be possible to write a decent Metal Gear game. Outrageous villains, great gadgets, cool hero, hot babes, lots of suspension of disbelief -- this is stuff of James Bond after all. Can't say the same for Hybrid Heaven.

The hard truth is, the game industry is indifferent to decent writing overall, and particularly deluded when it comes to action games. The culture of the latter is that of teenage boys who aren't particularly interested in anything except what mainstream pop culture dishes out to them, and it shows. Having translated and played a fair number of plot-intensive video games, I can say with confidence that most of these writers do not have a clue what they are doing. They wouldn't last a day in even TV or film, yet they're allowed to put out crap like "You are Nick Vrenna. It is the year 2009. You have been falsely incarcerated inside a high security underground prison where illegal genetic experiments are taking place" without anybody batting an eyelash. Good thing too. Blinking might get in the way of shooting, causing you to lose precious, precious points.

So what if a game has great playability, beautiful graphics and all the works? If you're playing a game and the hero's girlfriend/communication officer (note to Hideo Kojima: you don't know a lot of women, do you?) is bugging him about commitment issues while he's hiding from recon inside an enemy installation, point at the so-called writers and laugh at them really loudly. In public. So these game producers think you're that stupid? Swallow it, give it good reviews, fail to call them on the idiocy and you've proven that yes, you are that stupid. Bring on the sequels, feed me more of that non-nourishing, vaguely headache-inducing stuff. I wouldn't recognize quality if it came up and bit me on my numb-from-too-much-sitting ass!

Demand better. It's no coincidence that there's nothing but sequels and formulas coming out of this relatively new, multibillion-dollar industry.

"PRAYING FOR JAPAN"

www.jejuweekly.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=1371

I had just finished dinner on Friday, March 11th when a friend called me with the news that Japan had been hit by a massive earthquake. I had been busy all afternoon and hadn't heard the news. I immediately turned on my computer and watched in horror as streamed video from various news networks showed the tsunami racing across Japan's northeastern coastline, washing away everything in its path. It was an incredible sight.

Unfortunately, this was only the beginning as damage to four of Japan's six nuclear reactors caused by the earthquake threatened to create an even grreater disaster. Daily warnings about radiation levels followed. And then, just when it looked like things couldn't get any worse for Japan, it began to snow...

Nearly two weeks have past since Japan suffered its worst crisis since World War II. A stream of photos from the disaster stricken area show the magnitude of the catastrophe. One image shows rescue workers sifting through the rubble of a destroyed factory looking for survivors as snow falls heavily around them. Another shows an old woman staring at empty shelves as she pushes a cart along the aisle of a supermarket. A third picture shows a group of men sitting in dirty lawn chairs around a camp fire, cooking noodles and reading tattered newspapers while another shows a lone aid worker on a bicycle speeding through what was once a bustling city, piles of rubble on either side of the mangled road. Over 7,000 people have died, thousands more are missing, about 450,000 people are now homeless, and more than one million people have no drinking water.

Having lived in Japan for many years in the 1990's, it saddened me to see such a terrible thing happen to such a wonderful country. So, when I heard that Gwaneumsa temple here in Jeju was going to do a special ceremony for the people of Japan on Sunday, March 20th, I jumped at the chance to take part.

I arrived at the parking a lot in front of Ora stadium at 8 am and hopped onto the bus bound for the temple. Nearly every seat was taken. A good sign that Japan is in the hearts of many Korean people. Within 10 minutes we had arrived at Daewonjeongsa temple, the starting point for our aproximately 7 km "meditation" walk to Gwaneumsa temple. As we headed out, rain started falling. It rained... and rained... and rained.

Two rain soaked hours later, we finally arrived at Gwaneumsa. Not wasting any time, the monks shepparded us to a pagoda in the central courtyard area. Around the pagoda we went, a sort of "cleansing" ritual for the soul that removes bad spirits.

Next we headed inside for the main ceremony. It was packed with people. The temple's senior members entered the room and the ceremony quickly began. The next hour was similar to what most Buddhist ceremonies look like in Korea. But, about half way through, the priest began to pray for Japan, calling for health, happiness, and a strong future for the country. Then, near the end of the ceremnony, another priest called out the names of Japanese people and prayed for their strength in the face of such trying times. It was a touching moment.

A blanket of fog had moved in while we were inside, creating a wonderful atmosphere around Gwaneumsa and prompting me take a few extra minutes to walk around the complex and gather my thoughts before heading back to the bus. I rounded a corner and saw a young monk make his way across a courtyard and between two buildings. I took one photo before he disappeared into the foggy unknown.

It brought my thoughts back to Japan, its future also unknown. Rebuilding the tsunami ravaged areas will take time. It will be difficult and there will be a lot of pain. My thoughts go out to the people of Japan and I pray for a speedy recovery for the country.

De Havilland Venom FB.1 WK390 by seansonofbig

peakwreckhunters.blogspot.com/2010/08/de-havilland-venom-...

At 12.21 pm on the 22nd of February 1954 Venom WK.390 climbed away from the runway at Ringway near Manchester. The aircraft had been recently constructed and had flown for less than three hours. Mr Kenneth Forbes, a civilian test pilot, was at the controls to take the aircraft for its fifth test flight.

The purpose of the test flight was to re-check how the aircraft behaved in a dive at .82 mach from 30,000 feet and secondly to carry out an "all down" power off stall at a height of 5000 feet. The pilot had selected his own route to a suitable area to carry out the tests. He contacted Air Traffic Control at Ringway at 12.45pm but then all contact was lost with the aircraft.

Mrs Ethel Edwards was in her kitchen at Intakes Farm near to the village of Caverswall when she heard the sound of an approaching jet aircraft. She was sure that something was wrong. The aircraft was making a terrible noise and she went to the farmhouse door to look outside. As she opened the door she saw an aircraft hit the ground in a nearby field. There was a very loud bang and pieces of the aircraft were thrown into the air. Some of the debris fell on to the roof of the farmhouse. Mrs Edwards had witnessed the tragic end to the test flight of WK.390.

Alfred Spooner was working in the yard at Roughcote Hall Farm and heard the sound of the aircraft. He saw the jet emerge from the low cloud before it crashed into a field. He recalls that the aircraft did not break up in the air and was intact until it struck the ground. Nearby at Cookshill, Nathan Atkinson was making his way across a field when he heard the sound of the aircraft coming from the direction of Meir. A few moments later he saw the aircraft strike the ground and explode in flames.

Ken Hughes had just arrived home for his lunch at Pinewood Crescent in Meir when he heard the sound of a low flying jet. He estimated that the aircraft was flying at 200 feet above the ground towards Caverswall. Ken recalled seeing a flash of flame rise into the sky in the general direction of Cookshill. Albert Robinson was another witness, from his home at Caverswall Common, he thought that the aircraft was travelling at a terrific speed in the direction of Dilhorne before disappearing in a bright flash of flames and smoke.

Police Constable Walter Pickin was on duty at Caverswall at the time and he heard the sound of the aircraft passing overhead followed by a large explosion. After notifying the Sectional Office at Blythe Bridge he rushed to the scene and was later joined by several other Police Officers including Inspector Brittle from Stone, Inspector Mitchell from Cheadle and Sergeant Jones.

In his report P.C. Picken stated that the crash had created a crater 15 feet deep and 20 yards across. The pilot had clearly been killed instantly and the aircraft had been completely destroyed by the impact. Fire Services from Cheadle and Stoke on Trent attended the scene and tackled the remaining fires. The site was completely cleared shortly afterwards. However another witness recalls that the crash site remained fenced off for a while because the ground had been contaminated by the fuel from the aircraft.

The Accident Investigation Team noted that the aircraft had struck the ground in an inverted attitude at a high speed. They determined that the engine had been running at a high RPM and that the air-brakes were extended. As the flaps and the undercarriage were retracted it did not appear that the pilot was carrying out the "all down" power off stall test immediately prior to the accident. The cockpit area itself and the instruments and gauges sustained substantial damage, this was one of the factors that reduced the amount of information available to the crash investigators. The pilots flight test note pad was apparently lost in the flames. The Accident Report concluded that `the primary cause of the accident remains obscure.`

The de Havilland Venom was designed as a successor to the Vampire. The prototype first flew in 1949. The FB1 was a single seat Fighter Bomber armed with four 20mm guns and provision for a bomb load of 2000 pounds. The aircraft was powered by the Rolls Royce Ghost Engine and had an operating speed of over 590 mph.

It was not until the Night Fighter version came into service that crews had the benefit of ejection seats. The crash at Intakes Farm may have had a very different outcome if Mr Forbes had been able to `bang-out`.

Кто же на самом деле мудрые девы? by Светлана Михайлова

Кто же на самом деле Мудрые девы?

Библейские стихи для справки:

«Тогда подобно будет Царство Небесное десяти девам, которые, взяв светильники свои, вышли навстречу жениху. …Мудрые же, вместе со светильниками своими, взяли масла в сосудах своих. …Но в полночь раздался крик: вот, жених идет, выходите навстречу ему. Тогда встали все девы те и поправили светильники свои. …и готовые вошли с ним на брачный пир, и двери затворились» (Мф. 25: 1,4, 6-7, 10).

«Овцы Мои слушаются голоса Моего, и Я знаю их; и они идут за Мною» (Ин. 10:27).

«Это те, которые следуют за Агнцем, куда бы Он ни пошел» (Откр. 14:4).

«Ибо Агнец, Который среди престола, будет пасти их и водить их на живые источники вод; и отрет Бог всякую слезу с очей их» (Откр. 7:17).

«Просите, и дано будет вам; ищите, и найдете; стучите, и отворят вам» (Мф. 7:7).

Классические слова Бога:

«Пять мудрых дев означает число людей… Вот причина, по которой их попросили приготовить масло в последние дни. (Творение не обладает Моим качеством; если сотворенные желают быть отнесенными к мудрым, тогда им необходимо приготовить масло, и поэтому им нужно оснастить себя Моими словами.) Пять мудрых дев олицетворяют Моих сыновей и Мой народ среди сотворенных Мною людей. Они именуются «девами», поскольку, хотя они и рождены на земле, но, тем не менее, они обретены Мной; можно сказать, что они стали святыми, поэтому они именуются «девами»».

из «Слова и свидетельства Христа в начале эпохи»

Pygmy Hippo by Linus Wärn

3

www.zoo.com.sg/exhibits-zones/pygmy-hippo.html#ad-image-0

Pygmy hippos spend a large part of their lives submerged in water, either in a swamp or a river. Hence, their exhibit is designed more like a giant aquarium with two viewing galleries. From the seated comfort of the spacious lower level gallery, you can see these hippos tiptoeing on the riverbed like ballerinas en pointe! Although the hippos spend a lot of time in the water, they can’t swim and their bodies are too dense to stay afloat. Look closely and you’ll notice they close their ears and nostrils when submerged in the water. Unlike the common hippo, whose eyes are at the top of their heads, the eyes of the pygmy hippo are on the sides of their heads. Their toes are also not webbed like their larger cousins.

On hot days, you might want to lean in for a closer look at the skin of the animal. With no sweat glands, these miniature hippos survive the heat by staying cool in the water in the day and their skin secretes mucus that acts as a natural sun block.

Pygmy hippos are herbivores with exceptionally large jaws. They eat grass, roots, fruits and shoots in the wild. See how wide hungry hippos can stretch their mouths during their token feeding session at 2.30pm daily.

131024 More teacup sketching with waterbrush only by Liz Steel Art

to read about these sketches in order visit my blog

www.lizsteel.com/2013/10/on-waterbrushes-and-triads.html

otherwise full text is below (and hope you can make sense of it)

For some reason last night I had the urge to use my waterbrush. Now I really dislike using waterbrushes as they seem to kill all the exciting pigment interaction of watercolour (what I love the most about this medium!) and the colours always seem to look flat. In the past week I came across a great little DVD Beginning Watercolor Journalling I bought when I was starting my first sketchbooks and was very interested to see how good looking a wash Christina Lopp and Gaye Kraeger got from their waterbrush.... the secret seemed to be lots of water and fully loading the brush.

So anyway last night I got my waterbrush out and had an urge to draw with my brush. I REALLY enjoyed it and it was very pleased at the vibrancy I achieved.

Today I was in the Rocks casing the joint for my November classes and popped into the Tea Cosy tearoom for morning tea. Decided to try my waterbrush and I was VERY disappointed with the results. Look at the washed out colour - yuck!

Decided to do a comparison page with my #8 escoda sable brush but didn't have it in my bag... but thankfully had a synthetic dagger brush in my brush container so used it instead. I hope that you can see the difference!

After doing my architecture sketching work I had a quick bite to eat... I was not going to bother sketching my food or the nice tea (too much effort!) but then thought of the waterbrush and decided to have another go... I was a lot more conscious of making nice juicy and watery mixes in my palette and it certainly helped. I was also struck by how convenient it was and how 'quick'. When you work with ink and wash, sometimes the thought of doing the ink and then getting the colour out seems too hard - particularly getting the paint out. This approach of only paint solves that problem! Also don't have to get the water container out and secure it etc etc. Getting excited with new ideas...

.... and this excitement is only increased by doing yet again teacup sketch tonight with my waterbrush. It is all about getting the right amount of wetness and pigment.... but I cant help thinking of how much nicer this would be with a real brush! The excitement is not just the convenience but the benefit I feel from working just with paint... stripped of my inklines my painting has to be stronger and my watercolour skills are inherently sharpened.

Ok... second half of today's post is about triads.

So I have gone on a colour diet - using only a triad (plus maybe a burnt sienna occasionally such as the sketch on the right!) I am learning a lot about mixing ... it is not hard to mix the colour I want but I want to be able to do it the most efficient way...so am having fun exploring and refining the order and quantities of the various paints. Still got a way to go before I am happy that I have achieved this.

I am not desperately missing some of my favourite paints like I thought I would ... I am missing them but it is not a crisis not to have them. I am missing the granulation and I am not liking having so many over mixed colours...and really dislike how dirty my water is!

The sketch on the left for example would have been so much cleaner using my normal kit.

It is a worthwhile exercise but I don't think I will ever be a true triad girl.

With these things being my own explorations this week... you can imagine how much I am looking forward to do a lesson on colour (watercolour) tomorrow at Balmoral.

«Μικρέ. Δεν ξέρεις πως το Κομμουνιστικό Κόμμα είναι αθεϊστικό; Ενάντια στην πίστη ; Στην Κίνα, ποιος Θεός υπάρχει; Πού είναι ο Θεός σου;» «Μην νομίζεις ότι επειδή είσαι νεαρός θα είμαστε επιεικείς μαζί σου! Αν συνεχίσεις να πιστεύεις στον Θεό, θα καταλήξεις νεκρός!» Με τέιζερ στα χέρια, η κινεζική κομμουνιστική αστυνομία ορμά προς αυτόν τον νεαρό, που είναι γεμάτος με μώλωπες. Το όνομα του νεαρού είναι Γκάο Λιανγκ και τότε ήταν 17 ετών. Γύριζε στο σπίτι του αφού είχε διαδώσει το ευαγγέλιο μαζί με έναν μεγαλύτερο αδελφό, όταν συνελήφθη από την κινεζική κομμουνιστική αστυνομία. Εκείνοι δεν του έδωσαν τίποτα να φάει, ούτε τον άφησαν να κοιμηθεί για τρία μερόνυχτα. Τον ανέκριναν, προσπάθησαν να τον εξαναγκάσουν σε ομολογία και τον υπέβαλαν σε σκληρά βασανιστήρια. …
