during Venice Biennale 2019
The Exhibition will develop from the Central Pavilion (Giardini) to the Arsenale, and will include 79 artists from all over the world.
Ralph Rugoff has declared: «May You Live in Interesting Times will no doubt include artworks that reflect upon precarious aspects of existence today, including different threats to key traditions, institutions and relationships of the “post-war order.” But let us acknowledge at the outset that art does not exercise its forces in the domain of politics. Art cannot stem the rise of nationalist movements and authoritarian governments in different parts of the world, for instance, nor can it alleviate the tragic fate of displaced peoples across the globe (whose numbers now represent almost one percent of the world’s entire population).»

Ο Θεός λέει: «Αν επιθυμείς να ζεις μια κανονική πνευματική ζωή, πρέπει να λαμβάνεις νέο φως καθημερινά, να αναζητάς την αληθινή κατανόηση των λόγων του Θεού και να κατορθώνεις μια διαύγεια προς την αλήθεια. Χρειάζεται να έχεις ένα μονοπάτι προς την πράξη σε όλους τους τομείς, και με την ανάγνωση των λόγων του Θεού κάθε μέρα μπορείς να βρεις νέα ερωτήματα και να ανακαλύπτεις τα δικά σου ελαττώματα. Τα παραπάνω με την σειρά τους φέρνουν στο φως μια καρδιά που διψά και αναζητά, που θα θέσει σε κίνηση ολόκληρη την ύπαρξή σου, και θα μπορείς να είσαι ήσυχος ενώπιον του Θεού οποιαδήποτε στιγμή, και να έχεις έναν βαθύ φόβο ότι μένεις πίσω. Αν ένα άτομο μπορεί να έχει αυτήν τη διψασμένη και διερευνητική καρδιά, και επίσης είναι πρόθυμο να εισέρχεται διαρκώς, τότε βρίσκεται στο σωστό δρόμο για μια πνευματική ζωή».

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--
The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.
Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).
Characteristics[edit]
According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]
The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.
A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.
The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]
The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.
The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.
Biennials after the 1990s[edit]
The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

—---Venice Biennale from wikipedia —
The Venice Biennale (/ˌbiːɛˈnɑːleɪ, -li/; Italian: La Biennale di Venezia) is an international cultural exhibition hosted annually in Venice, Italy by the Biennale Foundation.[2][3][4] The biennale has been organised every year since 1895, which makes it the oldest of its kind. The main exhibition held in Castello, in the halls of the Arsenale and Biennale Gardens, alternates between art and architecture (hence the name biennale; biennial).[5][6][7] The other events hosted by the Foundation—spanning theatre, music, and dance—are held annually in various parts of Venice, whereas the Venice Film Festival takes place at the Lido.[8]

History
1895–1947
On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]
A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]
The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.
The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).
During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.
In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.
In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.
During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]
1948–1973[edit]
The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.
1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.
In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.
1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.
The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]
In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").
Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]
1974–1998[edit]
1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]
In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.
In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]
The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.
For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]
1999–present[edit]
In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.
In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).
The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.
The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.
In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.
Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".
The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".
The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]
Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]
The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]
The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]
The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]
The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]
Role in the art market[edit]
When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]
Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]
The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.
Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]
A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi.[37]
National pavilions[edit]
Main article: National pavilions at the Venice Biennale
The Giardini houses 30 permanent national pavilions.[13] Alongside the Central Pavilion, built in 1894 and later restructured and extended several times, the Giardini are occupied by a further 29 pavilions built at different periods by the various countries participating in the Biennale. The first nation to build a pavilion was Belgium in 1907, followed by Germany, Britain and Hungary in 1909.[13] The pavilions are the property of the individual countries and are managed by their ministries of culture.[38]
Countries not owning a pavilion in the Giardini are exhibited in other venues across Venice. The number of countries represented is still growing. In 2005, China was showing for the first time, followed by the African Pavilion and Mexico (2007), the United Arab Emirates (2009), and India (2011).[39]
The assignment of the permanent pavilions was largely dictated by the international politics of the 1930s and the Cold War. There is no single format to how each country manages their pavilion, established and emerging countries represented at the biennial maintain and fund their pavilions in different ways.[38] While pavilions are usually government-funded, private money plays an increasingly large role; in 2015, the pavilions of Iraq, Ukraine and Syria were completely privately funded.[40] The pavilion for Great Britain is always managed by the British Council[41] while the United States assigns the responsibility to a public gallery chosen by the Department of State which, since 1985, has been the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.[42] The countries at the Arsenale that request a temporary exhibition space pay a hire fee per square meter.[38]
In 2011, the countries were Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechia and Slovakia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Wales and Zimbabwe. In addition to this there are two collective pavilions: Central Asia Pavilion and Istituto Italo-Latino Americano. In 2013, eleven new participant countries developed national pavilions for the Biennale: Angola, Bosnia and Herzegowina, the Bahamas, Bahrain, the Ivory Coast, Kosovo, Kuwait, the Maldives, Paraguay, Tuvalu, and the Holy See. In 2015, five new participant countries developed pavilions for the Biennale: Grenada,[43] Republic of Mozambique, Republic of Seychelles, Mauritius and Mongolia. In 2017, three countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Antigua & Barbuda, Kiribati, and Nigeria.[44] In 2019, four countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Ghana, Madagascar, Malaysia, and Pakistan.[45]
As well as the national pavilions there are countless "unofficial pavilions"[46] that spring up every year. In 2009 there were pavilions such as the Gabon Pavilion and a Peckham pavilion. In 2017 The Diaspora Pavilion bought together 19 artists from complex, multinational backgrounds to challenge the prevalence of the nation state at the Biennale.[47]
The Internet Pavilion (Italian: Padiglione Internet) was founded in 2009 as a platform for activists and artists working in new media.[48][49][50] Subsequent editions were held since,[51] 2013,[51] in conjunction with the biennale.[52]

Usher in the Year of the Horse and celebrate the coming of spring at River Hongbao 2014! Held at Singapore’s iconic Floating Platform @ Marina Bay and organised by Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations, Singapore Press Holdings, Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Singapore Tourism Board and People’s Association, River Hongbao is proud to present yet another exciting event in 2014.
For 28 consecutive years, this annual iconic event has remained an integral part of Singapore’s Lunar New Year celebrations as River Hongbao presents a truly unique Chinese cultural experience for Singaporeans and tourists to titillate your senses. Building on the success of the past year, River Hongbao will welcome the Year of the Horse with celebrations extended over 11-days from 29 January to 8 February 2014. The River Hongbao is open to public and admission is free.
With larger-than life lantern displays, intricate handicrafts and crowd-pleasing performances featuring local and foreign performers from the region, be prepared to treat your senses to an extravaganza of lights, sights, and sounds this coming Lunar New Year. Be dazzled by the wide array of exquisite handicrafts from China and satiate your taste buds with more than 40 sumptuous varieties of local and regional delicacies served at the largest outdoor Food Street in Singapore. A myriad of fringe activities, ranging from amusement rides to carnival games to Main Stage Performances, will also ensure that visitors are treated to non-stop entertainment for the entire family.
Performances by Yunnan Opera Theatre
Yunnan, a province situated at the crossroads of China, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar, is renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stemming from more than 20 minority nationalities.
This year, River Hongbao will be partnering with the highly acclaimed Yunnan Opera Theatre (云南滇剧院) to showcase performances by Yunnan’s ethnic tribes, including the Yi and Dai Tribe. The Yunnan Opera Theatre has won numerous awards across China, including the prestigious Plum Blossom Awards (中国戏剧梅花奖). It has also performed in Thailand, Vietnam and Japan.
Lanterns, Chinese Gods and Legends
The much anticipated larger-than-life lanterns will light up the Floating Platform @ Marina Bay. These lanterns are specially hand-crafted on-site by craftsmen from the Sichuan province and will showcase familiar characters including the 18 m tall God of Fortune, legendary heroes from “The Three Kingdoms” (Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Bei) as well as the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac.
Handicraft Street and Food Street
Catch ‘live’ demonstrations of Chinese calligraphy and paper cutting at the Handicraft Street. River Hongbao 2014 has also partnered the Yunnan Arts and Crafts Association to bring in an exciting selection of jewellery, ethnic costumes and cultural products.
Tantalise your taste buds with sumptuous varieties of Yunnan delicacies, including Yunnan’s famous over-the-bridge rice noodles, Pu’er tea flavoured drumsticks, spicy fishballs from Dali, Shangri-la vanilla rice and baked tea quail eggs, served at River Hongbao’s Food Street.
Popular local favourites such as Hainanese chicken rice, fresh durian pancake, barbecued squids and Katong laksa will also be featured at Food Street.
Opening Night and Chinese New Year Eve Countdown Party
The River Hongbao 2014 Light-up Ceremony on 29th January (Wednesday), graced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, will mark the beginning of the 11-day festivities accompanied by a spectacular fireworks display. To usher in the Year of the Horse, Minister for Health, Mr Gan Kim Yong,will grace the Chinese New Year Eve Countdown party on 30th January (Thursday) with yet another fireworks spectacle.

The Arctic Circle marks the southern extremity of the polar day (24-hour sunlit day, often referred to as the "midnight sun") and polar night (24-hour sunless night). North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ... and this was right now when I took this photo at 0:00 hrs
This photo was taken att 0:00 hrs today
The area can be defined as north of the Arctic Circle (66° 33'N), the approximate limit of the midnight sun and the polar night.

Het was wel even een kwestie van wennen om met de combi Bigma en D600 snel en zeker uit de hand te kunnen fotograferen. Gisteren stond alles mooi op stevig statief en dan komt dit beweeglijke vogeltje opeens steeds dichterbij. Dus snel losgemaakt en wat steun gezocht om hem te kunnen volgen. Dit is een stevige crop, want de boerenzwaluw staat er helemaal op met stuk van omgeving. Kleuren komen nu ook dicht bij de D200 kleuren, die ik nog steeds het mooiste vind als SOOC.

Sources of picture and information--Salvatore Nardello, Jim McHugh, Don Irland and Loren Stewart.
This club had 47 roster players. Look them up on my blog if you are curious as to who they were The site also list whether they are living, deceased or their fate never determined.
.http://komleaguebaseball.blogspot.com/2008/01/names.html Of those depicted in the team photo only Sal Nardello (New Jersey),, Bob Jenkins (Florida) and Jack Chatham (North Carolina) survive.
Tidbits about some of the guys in the photo:
This team competed, in 1949, against other clubs who had players by the names of Jake Thies, Harry Bright, Mickey Mantle, Bob Speake, Steve Kraly, Bob Wiesler, Lou Skizas and Bill Upton all of whom made it to the big leagues.
Jeptha McCormick was an Airman First Class during the Korean War and died in 2003 in North, South Carolina.
Joe Lyles went to St. Louis University when the 1949 baseball season concluded and was a teammate of "Easy Ed" McCauley." Lyles coached for 50 years at Washington and Lee. Here is his obituary: www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth-oai:2z10x...
Bob Jenkins had the longest and most productive career of any of those in the photo. He played at Miami, OK in 1950 and then went on to play up to the Triple A level for four big league franchises through 1960. He had a lifetime .302 batting average. He even hit .310 in the Pacific Coast league for Los Angeles in 1957. He concluded his career in 1962 when he played in Japan for the Kintetsu Buffaloes.
John Edward Chatham was a radio and TV personality in Greensboro, NC for a number of years. He also was a high school coach. In his time with Pittsburg he came as close as anyone of hitting his weight. He weighed 170 and hit .167. That is consistency.
Jim McHugh lived in Philadelphia and was a huge fan of Jimmy Foxx as a youngster. McHugh shared letters with me that he sent to Foxx and those he received from the slugger when Foxx was injured one season.
Olan Smith not only led the nation in college basketball scoring with a 24.6 per game average for Defiance College in 1945-46 but he also led the nation in free throws.
A member of this team told me that another member of the team ended his life by jumping from a skyscraper in the Midwest. I was never able to verify the details of the death but know when it purportedly occurred.
James Leroy Stevens is the only person in that photo I never located. He was born 1/11/1931 (not 1932 as shown in some circles) in Asheville, NC. He played four seasons of pro ball. After his days with the Browns, at Pittsburg, he played three more years in the Phillies organization. I think he may be living in Maryland. Let's find this guy and bring him to an "accounting."

Flash Report for
Week of
April 12-18, 2015
Introduction:
Not many people responded to the Flash Report for the past week and I don’t expect anything much different this time around. A couple of people did comment that there was a lot of “stuff” in the previous report. My response was on the order of “I’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.”
So, in that spirit I share one comment about the volume of the previous report and then go into a couple of stories you can go through, at your leisure, during the coming week.
____________________________________________________________________
Billy Parker, Ernest Tubb, Hank Iba and Joe B. Hall story:
John, I don't know if I will be able to remember all the things you touched on in the new KOM Flash Report but ...
I did not know that Joe B. Hall and Hank Iba coached at Central Missouri, which you might remember is where I got my undergraduate degree. Go Mules! I did know about Kim Anderson and this horrible MU season. When I got to CMS (now UCM), I called the baseball coach to walk on for the spring of 1970 but by the time that rolled around I was no longer interested (I was pushing 25 years old by then - after 4 years in the service). I do still have 3 years of college eligibility left if anyone is looking for a 70 year old second baseman!
My mind was blown by Billy Parker being the writer of Thanks a Lot. ET (Ernest Tubb) is one of my all-time favorite country singers and I remember him from when I was a really young kid. He had the deepest, richest voice. Made that way I've been told by the consumption of fine and not so fine whiskey.
Anyway, a super informative Flash Report with lots of your personal history as well as the ballplayers'.
______________________________________________________________________
A bit of baseball history few ever heard about.
Last fall one of my readers was playing a lot of softball in New England and feeling his oats. He picked up a bunch of trophies for his pitching prowess, in the over 80 category, and probably figured he was young again. Well, in doing some work he was carrying a large object up a flight of stairs and what happened next I won’t describe in detail. However, he has been a resident in some of the best hospital and rehabilitation facilities along the eastern seaboard including Beth Israel Hospital in Boston.
When he isn’t fussing with his political opposite friends, on the Internet, he manages to read the Flash Reports and remembers what he reads. He noticed a recent article concerning former ball players, with Carthage, who wound up marrying girls from there. He asked if I knew that he once bought a diamond ring for a young lady and then didn’t have the nerve to give it to her. I told him that I not only knew who the young lady was but I was the batboy he sent into the grandstand to secure her telephone number for him.
Not many ballplayers stayed in the town in which they played over the winter. The only ones, who ever did that, to my knowledge, were the guys who fell in love and wanted to hang around as long as possible even though they knew that when baseball started the next spring they would be gone. This fellow had a stretch of luck for he was hired by Carthage Marble Corporation to work for the winter and the following spring the team to whom the Cubs assigned him, the Sioux Falls, SD Canaries, trained at Carthage along with the Janesville, WI Cubs, Topeka Owls and the host Carthage Cubs. So, he had a bit longer to give the diamond ring to the young lady from whom I got her telephone number but he didn’t take advantage of that opportunity. But, neither has he forgotten the summer of 1951. That is why, when he gets bored, he calls and we talk about a place and time that is now as foreign to both of us as living on another planet.
Not many of the Carthage players ever remembered me and didn’t know me when they were there except when they wanted something.. There are two who do--the current ailing former right-handed pitcher from Corwith, Iowa and Don Biebel from Oshkosh ”By Gosh” Wisconsin. The first recollection I have of the guy now living in New England was when he would sit in the dugout and read to anyone who would listen the mail he had received from home. One letter in particular stands out in my memory. He had a family member who was employed by John Deere and was making $275 a month. He would moan about his pitiful baseball salary and tell the few who would listen that he had to get back home and get a job making that kind of money.
After the baseball season concluded the boy from Corwith was working for Carthage Marble and on Saturday afternoons, in the Southeast Conference, there was a young man playing for the University of Tennessee from Belle Vernon, PA. The young man was a defensive back and the possessor of a “Golden Toe.” When graduation arrived for the Tennessee All-American football player he had to decide whether to play professional football or baseball. He was signed by the Cleveland Indians and played a few games with Reading, PA in the Eastern league in 1952.
A number of years ago the former Carthage Cub hurler, from Corwith, IA, told me an improbable story but had a newspaper clipping to back it up. This is an article carried in the Daily Republican published in Monongahela, PA on Monday July 14, 1952. This article is not that from the game but setting up who the new member of Fargo-Moorhead was. www.newspapers.com/newspage/58059401/ For those of you who don’t do URL’s here’s what it said. “FARGO, N. D., July 14 Bert Rechichar of Belle Vernon, captain of Tennessee's 1951 national collegiate football champions is debating whether to make professional football or baseball his career. The Cleveland Indians organization has sent Rechichar here until July 19 as an outfielder with tie Fargo - Moorhead Twins, of the Northern League. After July 19 he will report to the All-Star football squad and later the Cleveland Browns professional team.”
For the younger readership things were a bit different in those days. A football game was held in August of each year between the best of the college all-stars and the winner of the National Football championship the previous year. www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/3215.html Rechichar was under contract to both the Cleveland Indians and Browns at that time.
When Rechichar arrived in Fargo-Moorhead he was touted as an outfielder. Upon his arrival he met his new manager Danny Litwhiler who had a major and minor league career dating back to 1936. There are many references to Litwhiler. This one is his obituary. www.legacy.com/ns/danny%20-litwhiler-obituary/153774330 Anyway, Litwhiler had other things in mind for the five-day span that his new player would be on the roster and here is the account I received on April 10, 2015 from my buddy Walt Babcock. It was written as he writhed in agony but would do anything to help me publish a better Flash Report.
Babcock’s account of a mid-July game between the Sioux Falls, SD Canaries and the Fargo-Moorhead Twins follows. He would have sent the clipping but in his current condition can’t get to his files.
“John, this is coming from my memory so don’t expect it to be 100% accurate, but it will be close. The game was started as the sun was going down. The umpires let us bat and then they turned the light on. Our manager, Al Kubski, thought they should be fair and turn them off until Fargo-Moorhead batted. Well, he didn’t win the argument and the umpires kicked him out of the game. Not only that, but the bench got on the umpires so unmercifully they kicked all of them out of the game. It left us with nine players on the field. We went nine innings and the game was tied with the score knotted at 1-1. Anyway, it went 16 innings. I had two outs in the 16th and their catcher (Ed note: Andrew Lano) came up and hit a triple off the centerfield wall and tried to stretch it into a homerun. Our catcher, Don Biebel, was waiting with the ball to tag him out but he (Lano) hit him so hard he dropped the ball and we lost 2-1.
Danny Litwhiler was sent down from the majors to be the Fargo-Moorhead player/manager the day before. (Ed note: Litwhiler joined the Fargo-Moorhead club on June 17 becoming their third manager that year.) Well, as a result of kicking the players off the bench, our bus driver situated the bus just outside the right field wall and the players who were kicked out got on top of the bus to heckle the umpires for sixteen innings. It made for a little more excitement. After the game we all (nine of us) walked back to the bus so we could get back to the hotel to shower. The facilities weren’t the best at the ball park.
Well, to top off the unusual game, Danny Litwhiler walked all the way out to the bus and asked a couple of the guys where Babcock was. Their comment was that he is in the back of the bus crying. Anyway, Danny come on the bus and told me that was the best game he had ever witnessed. He said, ‘Bert and you really hooked up in a good one.’ Then he added a comment, ‘You are the only pitcher ever to strike me out four times in a row.’ I didn’t realize that I had struck him out at all. Anyway, that was such a nice compliment to have the opposing manager that accolade to an opponent. I lost the game but the only salvation I has was to think about my ERA of one for a 16 inning game. That brought down my ERA a little.”
As an after thought, I have always wondered how many pitches I threw that night, with the pitch count being so important today. Another little nugget was Bert had the longest field goal in professional football until Tom Dempsey took it from him. Usually, not many guys played two professional sports at once.
Ed comment:
Rechichar gave up baseball after the 1953 season when he bounced around Reading, Spartanburg and Rock Hill. He played professional football through 1961. On the other hand Babcock was off to the service after the 1952 season and managed to play with a National Baseball Congress Championship team in 1953. He played with the Ft. Leonard Wood Hilltoppers along with the likes of Dick Gray, Jerry Lumpe, Whitey Herzog, Eddie Kasko and Pete Burnside who all made it to the big leagues.
After the service Babcock returned to the Cub organization. He pitched at Des Moines and Burlington in his native Iowa. While at Burlington he was told he was going to be sent to Paris. The problem was the Paris was in Illinois not France. The Cubs fed him the story they were thinking about making a manager out of him. He told the Cubs it was time for him to get back and finish college, which he did.
After college he got on a roll. He worked many years for the Timken roller bearing company.

Construction of an article starts off on a tip.
When the note was received regarding the death of a one-game former big league pitcher I had no idea it would consume the greatest portion of this Flash Report. The name sparked a couple of memories and I was “off to the races.” This report is a sequential account of the information I was uncovering. Thus, if you skip around in this report you may think some of the comments are inconsistent, but they aren’t.
The following is how articles in the Flash Reports get hatched and sometimes a “good egg is laid.”
First e-mail message of the week:
John I noticed you’ve sent me a number of emails. We are just getting home from spending two weeks on a Caribbean cruise. I just noticed the death of former pitcher Harley Hisner. Not exactly a household name however he did get into one big league game. He was the starting pitcher for the Red Sox in their final game of the 1951 season at Yankee Stadium. The first batter he faced was Mantle batting leadoff that game and the result was a Hisner strikeout. He also struck Mantle out in his next at bat. However, the end result was a Boston loss with Harley being the losing pitcher.
Thanks for the emails; I’ll check them out soon. Barry—Ladysmith, British Columbia
Ed reply:
You might want to toss all those backed up e-mails and wait for the next batch. I didn't have much to share in any of them. Mine are about death and or dying.
Hisner’s time with the Ft. Wayne Allen Dairymen is far more interesting to me than his one big league game. The Dairymen club had some good talent. Their big batsman was Harry Olan Smith who had two stints as a player and manager at Pittsburg, Kansas. Hisner won his four games in the NBC tournament in 1957. He participated in that tournament two different years with them.
Barry’s reply:
I’m always amazed as to see how much you know about the players I mention to you.
Ed reply:
I don't know much, just what I read and someone tells me. Ft. Wayne always had strong representation in the NBC tourney they won it a number of times in the 40's and a couple of times in the 50's. Hisner played on the second place team in 56 and the championship team in 57. Ft. Wayne had a number of sponsors over the years. The winner of the NBC tourney would then play for the world championship.
Here is the best article on the Internet about him.
www.decaturdailydemocrat.com/content/one-time-it-s-brough... A great trivia question would be “How many guys with the name of Parnell played for the Red Sox?”
This will be my last bit on Hisner. He always went by the name of Parnell in his amateur days. You know why he did that. He was really a "hired gun" after his pro career was over. In 1955-56-57-58. He played on top tier semi-pro teams that made it to the NBC tourney. He was with St. Joseph, MI in 1955, Ft. Wayne in 1956-57 and then with Anderson, Indiana in 1958. In those four years he had a 7-3 record in the National Tourney and in 1958 he tossed a no-hitter against Grand Rapids, Michigan. By that time he was 32 years old and never got back with a team that made it to Wichita. I think his obituary indicated he played semi-pro ball four more years. I imagine someone doing research on his semi-pro career would find it far more fascinating than his professional one. I'll bet he also had more fun at the semi-pro level and probably made more money in the process.
Hisner was the 13th pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the history of the NBC tournament. By the time he did it the tourney was in its 23rd year of existence. A number of guys won four games in a single tournament in Wichita. In fact, Hisner wasn't the best pitcher on the Ft. Wayne championship and runner up teams in 1956-57 with Ft. Wayne. That honor went to Walt Wherry. He won five games and lost none at the 1956 tourney. They lost out to the Plymouth Oilers of Sinton, Texas in 1957 when Hisner won his four games. But, the top pitcher in that tournament was Bob Giggie who also won four. I imagine you have some Bob Giggie baseball cards.
So much for that subject. I'll bet Hisner was just learning to pitch when he quit pro ball.
Barry’s reply:
Well I know a lot more about Hisner than what I knew yesterday. I’m sure Harley would have had many memories from his baseball days.
Walt Wherry played softball for a Pet Shop in Newport, KY and for a restaurant team in Covington, KY up through 1959 and was the MVP of Kentucky softball a couple of times. He must have been a heckuva’ athlete.
Ed comment:
With the transmission of the last note to McMahon I was through with Hisner but my curiosity was then peaked by the name of Walter Vernon Wherry. I had seen that name many times in my KOM research since a person by that name had started out in the Pittsburgh Pirate organization in 1948. However, in looking at Baseball-Reference they had a Walter Joseph Wherry listed as the Pittsburgh minor leaguer so I knew I was in for a couple of hours of digging around old files.
Right off I saw that Walter Vernon Wherry was born on May 26, 1927 in Covington, Kentucky and was shown as graduating from Holmes High School in 1949 which made me take a second glance to see if I had the right person.
In the course of searching for old ballplayers, for the past two decades, I’ve learned a couple of things, the primary one, don’t jump to conclusions. So, I sent an e-mail to Jack Morris who knows the fate of thousands of former ballplayers. Here is what I shared with him. “I had a note from a reader regarding the recently departed Harley Parnell Hisner. I told the person contacting me that I felt Hisner's best years were in the semi-pro ranks when he took four teams to the National Baseball Congress tournament in Wichita, KS in 1955-56-57- & 58. He was with St. Joseph's, Mich. in 55 and then to Ft. Wayne in 1956-57 and then on to Anderson, Ind. in 1958. He tossed a no-hitter in the 1958 NBC tournament. He was one of the few guys to win four games in one tournament at Wichita. The others I recall were Satchell Paige, Bob Giggie and Herman Besse.
As well as Hisner pitched he wasn't the best hurler for Ft. Wayne. That honor went to Walter Vernon Wherry. He won five games in the 1957 tournament and also beat the Japanese at the World tournament that year in Milwaukee. I have always had a little interest in the Ft. Wayne semi-pro teams since Harry Olan Smith played for them a number of years and alternated between that club and the Pittsburg, Kansas Browns on four occasions.
In looking at Baseball Reference I see a Walter Joseph Wherry who played in the Pirate organization from 1948 through 1951. He was a teammate with a number of guys who played with Bartlesville of the KOM league. It appears my Walter Wherry went into the Korean War and when he came out he started playing semi-pro ball. After his tenure with Ft. Wayne he went to Covington, Kentucky where he picked up the game of softball and become one of the top players in the state playing for a pet store in Newport and a restaurant in Covington. He later got involved in slow-pitch softball and even managed a team in Cincinnati as late as 1977.
I have a lot of biographical inform on Walter Vernon Wherry and since his age parallels that of Walter Joseph Wherry I wonder if they could be the same person? I have DOB, high school and all that kind of stuff.
Hisner's death poses a great trivia question. Spring this on your buddies. "How many pitchers did the Boston Red Sox have, in the 1950's, with the name of Parnell?" By the way, when Hisner played amateur ball, after his professional days were over, he always went by "Parnell." I don't have to give that much thought as to why he did so.
Morris’s reply:
John, I think you’re on to something. The Walt Wherry who played in the Pirates organization was from Covington, KY. So I’d say it’s pretty certain they are one and the same guy.
Ed reply:
This guy was remarkable. He played softball and semi-pro baseball in the same years and at high levels. www.angelfire.com/ks/erlanger/wherry.html
Comment:
It is probably the general consensus of the readership that this article is about Harley Parnell Hisner and Walter Vernon Wherry but hold on. Here is my KOM league angle on the story. This was shared with Jack Morris.
I thought Wherry was the same guy who played in the Pirate organization but didn't want to make a claim I couldn't prove.
This story now gets me back to a KOM league angle. Tom Imfeld played for the Independence, KS Yankees in 1947 and then played on the 1950 Chanute team. He managed the Chanute club for a little while during a change in managers.
When the season was drawing near the end it was not only the close of that season, but the franchise. The team crowned a queen by the name of Norma Briner. When Imfeld placed the tiara on her head he said "Norma, if I don't marry you, I'll never marry." This resulted in one of my most memorable ventures into finding former KOM leaguers. In 1954 Norma learned that Imfeld has just graduated from St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul, MN. www.stthomas.edu/spssod/ That is the last she ever heard of him until I came along in 1994 looking for “long lost” former KOM leaguers.
Many attempts to find him failed and one day I went to a local Catholic parish and was told there was a Father Thomas J. Imfeld, Emeritus, in Covington, KY. I called him and he said he'd talk with me when I found Norma. Well, I didn't know how to go a about finding a lady who obviously had changed her last name since 1950. I scrambled around and found where she lived and sent the information to Imfeld. We talked a couple of times on the telephone during that summer and fall and that was about the extent of things. Then, Christmas arrived and I had a card from Norma (last name no longer was Briner) who wrote that she didn't know if I believed in Angels or not but that I was one. She said that since 1954 she had prayed that if she could see Father Tom, from afar and know that he was happy in his decision to become a priest that she could die a contented woman. She said I had made that possible and that Father Tom had paid a visit that summer to take her out for dinner. He came to a number of KOM reunions after that and became the “official prayer” for anything at the reunions that needed the blessing of the Almighty.
My communication with Imfeld went on for a number of years. His first parish was Covington and while a serving there he played on two American Softball Association championship teams. He even played on a world championship team. He was good enough to have been on the All-ASA team of the decade for the 1950's. He told me about his softball days when I spoke with him over the years and he even had team photos which he shared. In searching through the ASA material he and Walter Vernon Wherry were teammates on at least two ball clubs. Tom was a pitcher for a team sponsored by Lang's Pet Store in Covington and Wherry played shortstop and the outfield. Wherry was also on the All-ASA team of the decade for the 1950's.
In looking at Wherry his talents were very impressive. He would play on championship softball teams all summer and then when it was time for them to enter national and world tournaments on two occasions he headed to Ft. Wayne to help them win the Indiana amateur championship and then go with them to Wichita for the NBC tournament. Of all the great pitchers who played in that tourney only Wherry won five games in one tournament.
Wherry played on the same team with a number of former KOM leaguers who I knew pretty well. Too bad Brandy Davis and Tom Imfeld have passed on. Pete Maropis is still living and on my mailing list. They played together one year and I'm going to contact him to see what he recalls about Wherry.
Wherry has a birthday in May (26) and will be 88. I think he is probably living with his daughter in Covington and if I thought he was interested in talking, and could still do it, I'd make contact with him.
One thing that puzzled me a bit was that he was listed as a 1949 graduate of Holmes High School. That would have made him 22. Maybe he dropped out to play ball for a couple of years and then went back. And, the other option is that the site that shows his graduation year is wrong.
Anyway, I think Walter Joseph Wherry is Walter Vernon Wherry and that his best ball was played on Northern Kentucky slow pitch softball teams and with Ft. Wayne in the NBC tournament in Wichita.
The following are some sites where the readers can view the data on what I’ve claimed about the softball careers of Father Thomas Imfeld and Walt Wherry.
www.cincysoftball.com/all-century-teams/---This site lists Walt Wherry atop the all-century list of softball players in the Cincinnati area.
www.angelfire.com/sd/slopitch/honor.html This site lists Tom Imfeld and Walt Wherry as members of the all-decade team for the 1950’s/
www.angelfire.com/ks/erlanger/wherry.html Additional material on Wherry.
www.angelfire.com/sd/slopitch/photo1.html This is a site with a lot of photos. Tom Imfeld is in the sixth photo as you scroll down. He was a member of the Lang’s Pet Shop World Championship team in 1955.
www.attheplate.com/wcbl/1956_1g8.html This is the best of the team photos of the Allen Dairymen from Ft. Wayne. Most of those players at one time played pro baseball along with three of whom played in the Negro leagues of that era
That is a primer and if you want more references they are on Google.
When I first saw Walt Wherry mentioned as pitching for Ft. Wayne my interest was sparked since the KOM league had a Wherry of its own in 1947. That was Kendall Wherry who played youth baseball, in Chicago, as had Boyd Bartley and then joined Ponca City, in 1947 where Bartley was the player/manager. Wherry didn’t stay with baseball very long. He went to college, became an attorney and later served as a Federal judge. There was no relation between Walt and Kendall Wherry. Kendall Wherry retired to Ft. Myers, Florida and he still lives there.
Most of you have probably forgotten the obituary I shared regarding Father Tom Imfeld in November of 2012. You can view it on Find-A-Grave or read it right here. One thing the obituary didn’t list was the place of death. He died in Morristown, Tenn. He had visited with a parishioner who lived in a home there and Father Tom asked the family if, when he could no longer make it on his own, would they care for him. The family was Protestant and they welcomed a retired priest into their midst.

Birth: Jun. 12, 1923
Covington
Kenton County
Kentucky, USA
Death: Nov. 6, 2012
Tennessee, USA
Father Thomas J. Imfeld , age 89, passed away on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 in Tennessee.
Thomas J. Imfeld was born on June 12, 1923, to Nicholas and Anna Meyer Imfeld of 315 Crescent Avenue, Covington, Kentucky, and was welcomed home by his older siblings, Idamae and Robert. He attended St. Patrick Elementary School and graduated from Holmes High School in 1941. After graduating from Holmes High, he worked at a wholesale grocery store for approximately one year, and then volunteered for service in the United States Marine Corps on the Feast of Immaculate Conception, December 8, 1942, in the height of World War II. He completed basic training in San Diego, and then was sent to the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) for approximately two years of active military duties. Imfeld returned to the states, sent by the Marine Corps to the University of Michigan in preparation for Officers School. While in Michigan, the war ended, and he received an honorable discharge from the U.S.M.C. Imfeld continued his education at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, on the G.I. bill, where he received his degree in education and administration. After college, he played professional baseball for five years, played on the world champion softball team for four years, and worked as an electrician in the off season. Following two, not so subtle calls (from above), he knew his vocation was to the priesthood. Upon completing the seminary education at Holy Cross (minor) Seminary in LaCrosse, WI, and St. Paul (major) Seminary in St. Paul, MN, Thomas Imfeld was ordained a priest of the Covington Diocese, on May 30, 1959, by the Most Reverend Paul Leibold, Auxiliary Bishop of Cincinnati.
Upon his ordination, Father Imfeld was assigned as assistant pastor at St. Mark Church in Richmond, Kentucky, and helped start the Newman Center at Eastern Kentucky University. He served in Richmond for about two years. When the pastor of the Cumberland and Lynch parishes had a heart attack,
Fr. Imfeld was asked to help out for a couple of months. This "temporary" assignment turned into a 22 year term as pastor at St. Stephen and Resurrection Parishes. He then moved on to Ravenna, where he was pastor at Saint Elizabeth parish for nine years, and was instrumental in starting a parish in nearby Stanton and building Our Lady of the Mountains Church.
Fr. Imfeld "retired" in the early 1990's and came to Sacred Heart in Corbin at the request of Father Roger Arnsparger. In retirement, he continued to be a very active part of Sacred Heart's parish family.
Funeral mass will be conducted by Bishop Ronald Gainer at 11 am Saturday, November 10, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Interment will be in the Calvary Cemetery in Lexington.
Visitation will be held from 4-7 pm on Thursday and Friday at the Vankirk-Grisell Funeral Home. A Rosary will be said at 6:30 pm Thursday at the funeral home with an evening prayer service at 5pm on Friday.
Burial:
Calvary Cemetery
Lexington
Fayette County
Kentucky, USA
Now to close out the story on Walter Vernon Wherry. His minor league career in the Pirate organization saw him play alongside these former KOM leaguers. If any of you guys remember him let me know. Or if you wish to get in touch with him I think I can point your in the right direction. The former teammates were: Forrest Briggs, Calvin Frazer, Bill Herring, Pete Maropis, Bill McFarland, Roy Theophilus Upright, Louis Tond, John “Skip” Baas, Brandy Davis, Ronnie Kline, Jake Thies, Ed Wolfe and John L. Moore. All of the aforementioned played for Bartlesville, in the KOM, with the exception of Bill McFarland, Skip Baas and Jake Thies. Those three were drafted by the Pirates from the Yankees, Browns and Giants.
Among the names listed only John L. Moore has stumped me. He played a few years in the Pittsburgh Pirate chain. If anyone knows when he was born, exactly when and where, I know a baseball researcher in Keokuk, Iowa who would be as pleased as punch to know about it.

Again, I’m done but think I’ll do one more thing
By clicking on this site you will find the obituary of an impressive man. His name was Harry Olan Smith. I have long known about him in my research and even have glossy prints of him while a member of four Pittsburg Brown teams (1946-47-49-50). Smith played first base and managed the team in three of those four seasons. His longest tenure at Pittsburg was in 1950. He was replaced by Jimmy Crandall so that he could go back home to teach. He had replaced Shannon Deniston as manager in 1948 and Al Barkus in 1949. His obituary is found at the following site: I’m not printing it here. If you wish to see it and can’t access it let me know and I’ll send you the entire text. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=79659790
The following is on his grave marker:
OLAN SMITH, EDUCATOR, ATHLETE, LEADING SCORER IN THE NATION IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL, 1945-56 DEFIANCE COLLEGE, AND A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL BASEBALL CONGRESS CHAMPIONS THREE TIMES—VETERAN AND HUMANITARIAN
The end:
This report will probably go on the Flickr site in the near future. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/17086976836/
By placing a team photo on that site and identifying those in the photo, it provides me the opportunity to add to that report as many times as I like with regard to that particular team. If it goes up there I have decided to post it under a photo of the 1949 last place Pittsburg, KS Browns who were managed by none other than Harry Olan Smith. He was born in Defiance, OH and lived there all his life. However, he died 47 miles west of there in Ft. Wayne, Indiana on October 17, 1974, where he had gone shopping. Watch out guys shopping isn’t for men.
Playing for, and managing a last place ball team, will reveal character like few other things. Maybe Leo Durocher was right when he said “Nice guys finish last.” Smith was a nice guy.
Now, I’m really, really finished.

The story so far: The Dreamer loses his Pearl in a grassy mound - evidently her grave. He swoons with grief, and awakens in an earthly paradise, through which there runs a beautiful stream. The land on the opposite bank seems even more beautiful. He wanders further down the stream, hoping to find a bridge or a ford. Just when he starts to become afraid of the dangers that may be in store for him, he sees a young woman sitting at the foot of a crystal cliff on the opposite bank, and instantly recognises her as his lost Pearl. He hails his Pearl and expresses his relief that she still exists, but she begins to reprove him for his lack of faith. She criticises him for only believing that her soul is immortal now that he can see her, and is shocked by his suggestion that he - a mortal man - has a hope of joining her in Paradise without first experiencing death. He tells her that for him to walk away from her now that he has found her again would be to suffer a fresh bereavement. She replies that it is divinely decreed that he cannot cross over to her. The Dreamer pleads with his Pearl to accept that his rash questions were borne out of his great grief, and asks her to describe her life in Paradise. She relents, and tells him that she is crowned Queen of Heaven, and is married to the Lamb. The Dreamer is shocked by this assertion. He says that he thought only the Virgin Mary was Queen of Heaven. Pearl replies with a description of a-semi egalitarian heaven in which all inhabitants are kings and queens, and asserts that although Mary has pre-eminence, none of those in heaven would ever question it, because she is so “courteous”. She cites the Pauline notion that the church is the body of Christ in support of her claim. The Dreamer is even less convinced than before. He wonders how she can have been instantly crowned a Queen of Heaven when she was on the earth for less than two years. She replies at length, citing the parable of the labourers in the vineyard as justification for her rapid advancement in the kingdom of Heaven. She continues to retell the parable, and concludes by insisting that like the workers who worked less than two hours in the vineyard, she was first in line for God’s reward when she reached Heaven. The Dreamer cannot understand. Surely, he argues, those who have endured a lifetime’s pain and temptation must have precedence. She responds:
Pearl: Part 11
That ghostly one says, “God is rich:
We have no fear of more, or less.
An equal wage is paid to each
Whether he works most, or least.
Our noble Chieftain is no cheat;
His blessings scorn both wealth and loss –
They pour like water through a ditch
To wet the vale of all that lives.
His bargain – though we cringe like larks
In a hobby’s shadow – is never tough.
He trades so sinners cannot lose:
The grace of God is great enough.
Enough objections! You bring me shame
To say my penny can’t be paid –
A mere babe the day I came
And not deserving such reward.
You know a man, then, whose fame
Depends upon how well he prayed –
Who never forfeited any claim,
And of heaven’s lustre stands assured?
Strange. I’ve known men. The more they aged,
The more their deeds grew grim and rough!
I say by mercy saints are made –
The grace of God is great enough!
But the innocent have enough grace
At the very moment they are born
And baptised. They are grabbed
From the water, grafted into the vine.
And when the Day comes, engraved
With Death, and Night hangs, wan
And waiting – they, who never wronged
God – are the ones who gain –
Paid by the vineyard they were in.
He rewards their labour out of love;
Pays them first, and all is done.
For the grace of God is great enough.
It’s well enough known that man was made
For perfect bliss – this, Adam,
Our forefather, forfeited in a mad
Moment – ate the apple for our doom,
And out of that meal, all were damned
To die deprived. We could only dream
Of Heaven, bound for Hell’s murderous
Heat – there to dwell, slowly drown –
But soon enough, the deal was done:
Rich blood clotted on the Cross so rough,
And gushing water began to drain
When the grace of God grew great enough.
Enough grace gushed from that well –
Blood and water from a gaping wound –
To buy us all from the bilge of Hell
And wrench us out of death. We groaned,
Half drowned from that wound, truth to tell –
The blade that made it: grimly ground –
It washed away guilt, and the disgusting smell
Of Adam, who left us drowned
In Death. Nothing in the round
World reeks more of bliss and love!
Wilfully lost, we wound up found:
And the grace of God is good enough.
Late fourteenth century poem, written in a north-west midland dialect of Middle English, paraphrased by Giles Watson. The lines about the hobby (a small species of falcon) threatening the larks are derived from a reading of the Middle English word “dare” – to cringe or hide. The image is – as the preacher Jonathan Edwards would rediscover several centuries later – that of sinners cringing in the face of an angry God, but the nearest linguistic parallel is Skelton, who writes “I haue a hoby can make larkys to dare” (“I have a hobby that can make larks cringe”). Pearl draws on John 19:14 for the image of the blood and water gushing from Christ’s side after it was speared by a Roman soldier, and relates it in characteristically graphic terms to the sacrament of baptism. She also combines it with a still more venerable image: that of the fountain of grace which gushes forth irrespective of the eccentricities of human conduct.

Biennalist is an Art Format commenting on active biennials and managed cultural events through artworks.Biennalist takes the thematics of the biennales and similar events like festivals and conferences seriously, questioning the established structures of the staged art events in order to contribute to the debate, which they wish to generate.

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--
The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.
Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).
Characteristics[edit]
According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]
The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.
A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.
The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]
The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.
The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.
Biennials after the 1990s[edit]
The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

—---Venice Biennale from wikipedia —
The Venice Biennale (/ˌbiːɛˈnɑːleɪ, -li/; Italian: La Biennale di Venezia) is an international cultural exhibition hosted annually in Venice, Italy by the Biennale Foundation.[2][3][4] The biennale has been organised every year since 1895, which makes it the oldest of its kind. The main exhibition held in Castello, in the halls of the Arsenale and Biennale Gardens, alternates between art and architecture (hence the name biennale; biennial).[5][6][7] The other events hosted by the Foundation—spanning theatre, music, and dance—are held annually in various parts of Venice, whereas the Venice Film Festival takes place at the Lido.[8]

History
1895–1947
On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]
A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]
The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.
The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).
During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.
In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.
In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.
During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]
1948–1973[edit]
The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.
1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.
In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.
1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.
The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]
In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").
Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]
1974–1998[edit]
1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]
In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.
In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]
The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.
For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]
1999–present[edit]
In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.
In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).
The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.
The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.
In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.
Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".
The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".
The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]
Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]
The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]
The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]
The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]
The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]
Role in the art market[edit]
When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]
Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]
The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.
Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]
A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi.[37]
National pavilions[edit]
Main article: National pavilions at the Venice Biennale
The Giardini houses 30 permanent national pavilions.[13] Alongside the Central Pavilion, built in 1894 and later restructured and extended several times, the Giardini are occupied by a further 29 pavilions built at different periods by the various countries participating in the Biennale. The first nation to build a pavilion was Belgium in 1907, followed by Germany, Britain and Hungary in 1909.[13] The pavilions are the property of the individual countries and are managed by their ministries of culture.[38]
Countries not owning a pavilion in the Giardini are exhibited in other venues across Venice. The number of countries represented is still growing. In 2005, China was showing for the first time, followed by the African Pavilion and Mexico (2007), the United Arab Emirates (2009), and India (2011).[39]
The assignment of the permanent pavilions was largely dictated by the international politics of the 1930s and the Cold War. There is no single format to how each country manages their pavilion, established and emerging countries represented at the biennial maintain and fund their pavilions in different ways.[38] While pavilions are usually government-funded, private money plays an increasingly large role; in 2015, the pavilions of Iraq, Ukraine and Syria were completely privately funded.[40] The pavilion for Great Britain is always managed by the British Council[41] while the United States assigns the responsibility to a public gallery chosen by the Department of State which, since 1985, has been the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.[42] The countries at the Arsenale that request a temporary exhibition space pay a hire fee per square meter.[38]
In 2011, the countries were Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechia and Slovakia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Wales and Zimbabwe. In addition to this there are two collective pavilions: Central Asia Pavilion and Istituto Italo-Latino Americano. In 2013, eleven new participant countries developed national pavilions for the Biennale: Angola, Bosnia and Herzegowina, the Bahamas, Bahrain, the Ivory Coast, Kosovo, Kuwait, the Maldives, Paraguay, Tuvalu, and the Holy See. In 2015, five new participant countries developed pavilions for the Biennale: Grenada,[43] Republic of Mozambique, Republic of Seychelles, Mauritius and Mongolia. In 2017, three countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Antigua & Barbuda, Kiribati, and Nigeria.[44] In 2019, four countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Ghana, Madagascar, Malaysia, and Pakistan.[45]
As well as the national pavilions there are countless "unofficial pavilions"[46] that spring up every year. In 2009 there were pavilions such as the Gabon Pavilion and a Peckham pavilion. In 2017 The Diaspora Pavilion bought together 19 artists from complex, multinational backgrounds to challenge the prevalence of the nation state at the Biennale.[47]
The Internet Pavilion (Italian: Padiglione Internet) was founded in 2009 as a platform for activists and artists working in new media.[48][49][50] Subsequent editions were held since,[51] 2013,[51] in conjunction with the biennale.[52]

I know a few people making these and they are all so lovely I wanted to try to make my own version of it. This one was for my father. He loved it.
Once in a while I see something online or in a store and think that I don't need to buy it because I could make my own. That's what I've been up to since we moved last July: making things to cozy up in our new home (update). I'll try to take a few photos to share which brings me to this post.
I meant to share more of the skirts embellishment I'm working on. The problem is that if we don't have good enough photographs we don't post them at all. It's taken a long time (for me specially) to learn how to take good photos. We try to get the best background matching the piece, the light has to be just right so we don't have to retouch the image. It's a poor excuse to leave all of you waiting for so long. I'll try to have more wip images (work in progress) which we usually post in Rob's Flickr blog as well. We want to share whatever we are tinkering with at the time. This is why we don't have a blog (instead of a Flickr blog as we call it) and why Rob has a Tumblr. The pressure of a daily post and getting back to everyone's comments would be too much. But please feel free to email us, leave your comments here, and follow us. Flickr has been good to us and many of our followers have found us here. We post images and a short explanation to document our work and share online. Here's to another year of many more posts! If you are reading this, thank you for sticking with us :)

Juan A. Gaitán appointed curator of the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art
KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin is delighted to announce the appointment of Juan A. Gaitán as curator of the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art. The 8th Berlin Biennale will take place in spring 2014.
Juan A. Gaitán (Canada/Colombia) is an independent writer and curator, currently based in Mexico City and Berlin. He is trained as an artist and art historian at University of British Columbia and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver (Canada). Between January 2009 and December 2011, he was curator at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), and between September 2011 and June 2012 adjunct professor in the Curatorial Practice Program at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco (USA). During the 2006 – 2008 period, he was on the Board of Directors of the Western Front Society, and worked as external curator at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in Vancouver. His writings have been published in several journals, including Afterall, The Exhibitionist, Fillip, and Mousse. His most recent exhibition, Material Information, spans three venues in Bergen (Norway), and looks for a renewed critical approach to the contemporary global distribution of labor from the perspective of arts and crafts. He is presently member of the acquisitions committee at FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais in Dunquerke (France).
The Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art is since its fourth edition one of the institutions supported by the German Federal Cultural Foundation as „outstanding cultural event“. The support of 2.5 Million Euros per edition ensures planning stability, enabling the organizers to address issues of content in an experimental way.
Since the first edition in 1998, the Berlin Biennale has become a major international event for contemporary art. Located in the midst of Berlin’s vibrant cultural scene in the fast-changing capital of Germany, the Berlin Biennale has received an enthusiastic response from the audience as an experimental, forward-looking and contextual show. The previous seven editions of the Berlin Biennale explored a variety of exhibition formats and involved diverse curatorial agendas.
Curators have been:
1st Berlin Biennale (1998): Klaus Biesenbach with Nancy Spector, and Hans Ulrich Obrist
2nd Berlin Biennale (2001): Saskia Bos
3rd Berlin Biennale (2004): Ute Meta Bauer
4th Berlin Biennale (2006): Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni, and Ali Subotnick
5th Berlin Biennale (2008): Adam Szymczyk and Elena Filipovic
6th Berlin Biennale (2010): Kathrin Rhomberg
7th Berlin Biennale (2012): Artur Żmijewski together with associate curators Voina and Joanna Warsza
The selection committee for the curatorship of the 8th Berlin Biennale consisted of Sergio Edelsztein (Director and Chief Curator, The Centre for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv); Cao Fei (Artist, Bejing), Susanne Gaensheimer (Director, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt a. M.), Koyo Kouoh (Founding Director and Artistic Director, Raw Material Company - Center for Art, Knowledge and Society, Dakar), Matthias Mühling (Head of Department, Curator, Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich), Bisi Silva (Director and Founder, Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos), and Patricia Sloane (Associate Curator, MUAC Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo and advisor to the Head of Visual Arts, UNAM Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City).
The Berlin Biennale is realized by KW Institute for Contemporary Art and funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.

Εισαγωγή
Χριστιανικό μουσικό ντοκιμαντέρ
| Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων | Μαρτυρεί την παντοδυναμία και την κυριαρχία του Δημιουργού (Greek Subtitles)
Στο απέραντο σύμπαν, όλα τα ουράνια σώματα κινούνται με ακρίβεια στην τροχιά τους. Κάτω από τον ουρανό, Τα πάντα έχουν σχεδιαστεί με τέτοια λεπτότητα — υπάρχει οόλα τα βουνά, τα ποτάμια και οι λίμνες είναι οριοθετημένα και όλα τα πλάσματα ζουν και αναπαράγονται κατά τη διάρκεια των τεσσάρων εποχών σύμφωνα με τους νόμους της ζωής.... Ισχυρός Θεός που κυβερνά και οργανώνει τα πάντα; Από τότε που ερχόμαστε σε αυτόν τον κόσμο κλαίγοντας, παίζουμε διαφορετικούς ρόλους στη ζωή. Μεταβαίνουμε από τη γέννηση στο γήρας, στην ασθένεια, στον θάνατο, ζούμε μεταξύ χαράς και λύπης.... Από πού προέρχονται πράγματι οι άνθρωποι και πού πράγματι οδεύουμε; Ποιος κυβερνά τη μοίρα μας; Από την αρχαιότητα ως τη σύγχρονη εποχή, μεγάλα έθνη έχουν ακμάσει, δυναστείες έχουν έλθει και παρέλθει, και οι χώρες και οι λαοί έχουν προοδεύσει και χάθηκαν στον ρου της ιστορίας.... Όπως οι νόμοι της φύσης, έτσι και οι νόμοι της εξέλιξης της ανθρωπότητας περιέχουν άπειρα μυστήρια. Θα θέλατε να μάθετε τις απαντήσεις σε αυτά; Το ντοκιμαντέρ Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων θα σας καθοδηγήσει για να φτάσετε στη ρίζα τους, για να αποκαλύψετε όλα αυτά τα μυστήρια!

Ο Θεός λέει: « ...Πόσες άγρυπνες νύχτες πέρασε ο Θεός, λόγω του έργου για την ανθρωπότητα. Από τα πιο υψηλά σημεία μέχρι τα πιο μεγάλα βάθη, Εκείνος κατέβηκε στην ζωντανή κόλαση όπου ζει ο άνθρωπος, προκειμένου να περάσει τις ημέρες Του με τον άνθρωπο. Ποτέ Του δεν παραπονέθηκε για την αθλιότητα ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπων, ποτέ Του δεν τους επέκρινε για την ανυπακοή τους, παρά υπομένει μέγιστο εξευτελισμό, την ώρα που φέρει ο ίδιος εις πέρας το έργο Του. Πώς θα μπορούσε ο Θεός να ανήκει στην κόλαση; Πώς θα μπορούσε να περάσει τη ζωή Του στην κόλαση; Όμως, για χάρη όλη της ανθρωπότητας, ώστε όλη η ανθρωπότητα να βρει πιο σύντομα ανάπαυση, Εκείνος υπέμενε τον εξευτελισμό και την αδικία για να έρθει στη γη και εισήλθε ο ίδιος στην «κόλαση» και στον «Άδη», μέσα στο στόμα του λύκου, για να σώσει τον άνθρωπο. Με τι προσόντα μπορεί ο άνθρωπος να αντιτίθεται στον Θεό; Τι λόγο έχει να παραπονιέται ακόμα μια φορά για τον Θεό; Πώς έχει το θράσος να αντικρίσει και πάλι τον Θεό; Ο Θεός του ουρανού ήρθε σε αυτόν τον κατάπτυστο τόπο της ακολασίας, χωρίς να εκφράσει ποτέ τη στεναχώρια Του ή να παραπονεθεί για τον άνθρωπο· αντιθέτως, αποδέχεται στωικά τη φθορά[1] και την καταπίεση του ανθρώπου. Δεν αντεπιτέθηκε ποτέ στις παράλογες απαιτήσεις του ανθρώπου, ποτέ δεν είχε υπερβολικές απαιτήσεις από τον άνθρωπο και ποτέ δεν είχε παράλογες απαιτήσεις από τον άνθρωπο. Εκείνος απλώς κάνει αδιαμαρτύρητα όλο το έργο που απαιτεί ο άνθρωπος: διδάσκει, διαφωτίζει, επιπλήττει, εξευγενίζει μέσω των λόγων, υπενθυμίζει, προτρέπει, παρηγορεί, κρίνει και αποκαλύπτει. Ποιο από τα στάδια που Εκείνος κάνει δεν είναι για τη ζωή του ανθρώπου; ... »

Lo Spirito Santo opera secondo dei principi
Qin Shuting Città di Linyi, Provincia di Shandong
Per un certo tempo, anche se non avevo smesso di nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio, non avevo mai percepito la luce. Avevo pregato Dio per questo ma, ciononostante, non ero stata ancora illuminata. Così ho pensato: “Dio illumina ogni persona a Suo tempo, perciò è inutile cercare di affrettare le cose”. Poi ho continuato a seguire le regole e a nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio senza ansia, attendendo “pazientemente” che Egli mi illuminasse.
Finché un giorno ho letto questo brano della parola di Dio: “Solo se il tuo cuore è in pace al cospetto di Dio, la tua ricerca della verità e della trasformazione della tua indole porterà frutto. Infatti, ti presenti a Dio gravato di fardelli e ti senti sempre fortemente manchevole, senti che ci sono molte verità che dovresti conoscere, molta realtà che avresti bisogno di sperimentare, e che dovresti prestare la massima attenzione alla volontà di Dio. Queste cose sono costantemente nella tua mente ed è come se ti opprimessero fino quasi a non lasciarti respirare: per questo avverti un gran peso nel cuore (ma non ti senti in una condizione negativa). Solo persone di questo genere sono qualificate ad accogliere l’illuminazione delle parole di Dio e a essere mosse dal Suo Spirito. È a motivo del loro fardello, del fatto che hanno il cuore pesante e, si può dire, a causa del prezzo che hanno pagato e dei tormenti che hanno patito dinanzi a Dio, che Ne hanno ricevuto intuizione e illuminazione, poiché Dio non riserva a nessuno un trattamento speciale. Nel Suo modo di trattare la gente Egli è sempre giusto, ma per contro non provvede a caso alle persone e non dà loro incondizionatamente. È uno dei tratti della Sua indole giusta” (“È molto importante stabilire un rapporto adeguato con Dio” in La Parola appare nella carne). Riflettendo su queste parole di Dio, ho capito: Dio è un Dio giusto. Non provvede mai all’uomo in maniera arbitraria né gli dona alcunché in maniera incondizionata. Per ricevere la Sua illuminazione e il Suo splendore, bisogna acquietare il proprio animo davanti a Lui e avere un cuore che brama e ricerca la Sua parola. Bisogna portare il fardello della propria vita e ricercare nella parola di Dio le proprie manchevolezze. Portando il proprio fardello, bisogna intenzionalmente nutrirsi e dissetarsi della parola di Dio per tenere nella massima considerazione la Sua volontà ed entrare sempre più in profondità nella verità. Solo pagando in concreto un simile prezzo per lavorare con Dio si può ottenere la Sua illuminazione. In retrospettiva, io non portavo alcun fardello né avevo un cuore bramoso di nutrirsi e dissetarsi della parola di Dio. Ogni volta che prendevo in mano il libro della parola di Dio lo sfogliavo e vedevo che avevo letto questo e quel brano, pensando di avere un’idea di massima di ciascun passo. Poi ne cercavo uno qualsiasi, lo leggevo frettolosamente, e la cosa finiva lì. Quando mi nutrivo e mi dissetavo della parola di Dio, riuscivo solo a capire il significato letterale delle parole e mi concentravo unicamente sul rispetto di alcune regole e pratiche. Di certo non capivo granché della verità a cui dovevo accedere, né soddisfacevo il cuore di Dio. Non portavo affatto alcun fardello nella vita, né mi preoccupavo per non essermi dotata di una verità sufficiente; mi limitavo a gestire con indifferenza il mio nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio. Con un atteggiamento così sprezzante verso la parola di Dio, come avrei potuto ottenere la Sua illuminazione e il Suo splendore? Non stavo davvero lavorando con Dio e utilizzavo l’espressione “Dio illumina ogni persona a Suo tempo” come scusa per attendere ciecamente la Sua illuminazione. Ero davvero tanto ignorante! Solo adesso riconosco che, anche se Dio illumina ogni persona a Suo tempo, questo è vero, ma c’è un principio alla base dell’opera dello Spirito Santo sull’uomo: l’uomo stesso deve avere un cuore bramoso e dedito alla ricerca per poter lavorare in maniera positiva e attiva con Dio e solo allora lo Spirito Santo potrà operare su di lui e illuminare e fare risplendere la sua conoscenza della volontà di Dio, facendogli capire la verità della parola di Dio.
Oh Dio! Io rendo grazie per la Tua tempestiva illuminazione che mi ha permesso di riconoscere la deviazione insita nella mia esperienza. Adesso io desidero tornare indietro per lavorare in maniera positiva e attiva con Te, per mantenere un cuore bramoso e dedito alla ricerca, per portare il mio fardello e nutrirmi e dissetarmi della Tua parola, per perseguire un’ulteriore illuminazione ottenuta mediante la Tua parola e far sì che io possa approfondire la mia conoscenza della verità, e che la mia vita diventi sempre migliore.

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--
The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.
Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).
Characteristics[edit]
According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]
The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.
A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.
The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]
The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.
The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.
Biennials after the 1990s[edit]
The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

—---Venice Biennale from wikipedia —
The Venice Biennale (/ˌbiːɛˈnɑːleɪ, -li/; Italian: La Biennale di Venezia) is an international cultural exhibition hosted annually in Venice, Italy by the Biennale Foundation.[2][3][4] The biennale has been organised every year since 1895, which makes it the oldest of its kind. The main exhibition held in Castello, in the halls of the Arsenale and Biennale Gardens, alternates between art and architecture (hence the name biennale; biennial).[5][6][7] The other events hosted by the Foundation—spanning theatre, music, and dance—are held annually in various parts of Venice, whereas the Venice Film Festival takes place at the Lido.[8]

History
1895–1947
On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]
A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]
The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.
The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).
During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.
In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.
In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.
During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]
1948–1973[edit]
The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.
1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.
In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.
1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.
The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]
In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").
Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]
1974–1998[edit]
1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.
On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]
In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.
In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]
The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.
For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]
1999–present[edit]
In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.
In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).
The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.
The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.
In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.
Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".
The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".
The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]
Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]
The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]
The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]
The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]
The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]
Role in the art market[edit]
When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]
Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]
The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.
Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]
A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi
The Arboretum has an interactive map on their web site. This map is found at the Arborway Gate.

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is an arboretum located in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and is the second largest "link" in the Emerald Necklace.
History
The Arboretum was founded in 1872 when the President and Fellows of Harvard College became trustees of a portion of the estate of James Arnold (1781–1868).
In 1842, Benjamin Bussey (1757–1842), a prosperous Boston merchant and scientific farmer, donated his country estate Woodland Hill and a part of his fortune to Harvard University "for instruction in agriculture, horticulture, and related subjects". Bussey had inherited land from fellow patriot Eleazer Weld in 1800 and further enlarged his large estate between 1806 and 1837 by acquiring and consolidating various farms that had been established as early as the seventeenth century. Harvard used this land for the creation of the Bussey Institute, which was dedicated to agricultural experimentation. The first Bussey Institute building was completed in 1871 and served as headquarters for an undergraduate school of agriculture.
Sixteen years after Bussey's death, James Arnold, a New Bedford, Massachusetts whaling merchant, specified that a portion of his estate was to be used for "...the promotion of Agricultural, or Horticultural improvements". In 1872, when the trustees of the will of James Arnold transferred his estate to Harvard University, Arnold’s gift was combined with 120 acres (0.49 km2) of the former Bussey estate to create the Arnold Arboretum. In the deed of trust between the Arnold trustees and the College, income from Arnold’s legacy was to be used for establishing, developing and maintaining an arboretum to be known as the Arnold Arboretum which "shall contain, as far as practicable, all the trees [and] shrubs ... either indigenous or exotic, which can be raised in the open air of West Roxbury". The historical mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase knowledge of woody plants through research and to disseminate this knowledge through education.
Charles Sprague Sargent was appointed director and Arnold Professor of Botany shortly after the establishment of the institution in 1872.[2] Together with landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted he developed the road and pathway system and delineated the collection areas by family and genus, following the then current and widely accepted classification system of Bentham and Hooker. The Hunnewell building was designed by architect Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr. in 1892 and constructed with funds donated by H. H. Hunnewell in 1903. From 1946 to 1950 the landscape architect Beatrix Farrand was the landscape design consultant for the Arboretum. Her early training in the 1890s included time with Charles Sprague Sargent and chief propagator and superintendent Jackson Thornton Johnson.[3] Today the Arboretum occupies 265 acres (107 hectares) of land divided between four parcels, viz. the main Arboretum and the Peters Hill, Weld-Walter and South Street tracts. The collections, however, are located primarily in the main Arboretum and on the Peters Hill tract. The Arboretum remains one of the finest examples of a landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and it is a Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site) and a National Historic Landmark.
Robert E. Cook is the seventh and current Director of the Arnold Arboretum. He is also the Director of the Harvard University Herbaria located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Status
The Arboretum is privately endowed as a department of Harvard University. The land, however, was deeded to the City of Boston in 1882 and incorporated into the so-called "Emerald Necklace". Under the agreement with the City, Harvard University was given a thousand-year lease on the property, and the University, as trustee, is directly responsible for the development, maintenance, and operation of the Arboretum; the City retains responsibility for water fountains, benches, roads, boundaries, and policing. The annual operating budget of $7,350,644 (fiscal year 2003) is largely derived from endowment, which is also managed by the University, and all Arboretum staff are University employees. Other income is obtained through granting agencies and contributors.
Location
The main Arborway gate is located on Route 203 a few hundred yards south of its junction with the Jamaicaway. Public transportation to the Arboretum is available on the MBTA Orange Line to its terminus at Forest Hills Station and by bus (#39) to the Monument in Jamaica Plain. The Arboretum is within easy walking distance from either of these points.
Hours
The grounds are open free of charge to the public from sunrise to sunset 365 days of the year. The Visitor's Center in the Hunnewell Building, 125 Arborway, is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; Sundays 12 p.m.–4 PM. The Visitor’s Center is closed on holidays. The Library, located in the Hunnewell Building, is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.. The Library is closed on Sundays and holidays. Stacks are closed and the collection does not circulate.
Area
Two hundred and sixty-five acres (107 hectares) in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts, located at 42°19′N 71°5′W / 42.317°N 71.083°W / 42.317; -71.083, with altitudes ranging from 46 feet (15 m) in the meadow across the drive from the Hunnewell Building to 240 feet (79 m) at the top of Peters Hill.
Climate
Average yearly rainfall is 43.63 inches (1,102 mm); average snowfall, 40.2 inches (102 centimeters). Monthly mean temperature is 51.5 °F (10.8 °C); July's mean temperature is 73.5 °F (23 °C); January's is 29.6 °F (-1.3 °C). The Arboretum is located in USDA hardiness zone 6 (0 to −10 °F, −18 to −23 °C).
Collections (as of September 14, 2007)
At present, the living collections include 15,441 individual plants (including nursery holdings) belonging to 10,216 accessions representing 4,099 taxa; with particular emphasis on the ligneous species of North America and eastern Asia. Historic collections include the plant introductions from eastern Asia made by Charles Sprague Sargent, Ernest Henry Wilson, William Purdom, Joseph Hers, and Joseph Rock. Recent introductions from Asia have resulted from the 1977 Arnold Arboretum Expedition to Japan and Korea, the 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition to western Hubei Province, and more recent expeditions to China and Taiwan.
Comprehensive collections are maintained and augmented for most genera, and genera that have received particular emphasis include: Acer, Fagus, Carya, Forsythia, Taxodium, Pinus, Metasequoia, Lonicera, Magnolia, Malus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Syringa, Paulownia, Albizia, Ilex, Gleditsia and Tsuga. Other comprehensive collections include the Bradley Collection of Rosaceous Plants, the collection of conifers and dwarf conifers, and the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection. Approximately 500 accessions are processed annually.
Collections policy
The mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase our knowledge of the evolution and biology of woody plants. Historically, this research has investigated the global distribution and evolutionary history of trees, shrubs and vines, with particular emphasis on the disjunct species of East Asia and North America. Today this work continues through molecular studies of the evolution and biogeography of the floras of temperate Asia, North America and Europe.
Research activities include molecular studies of gene evolution, investigations of plant-water relations, and the monitoring of plant phenology, vegetation succession, nutrient cycling and other factors that inform studies of environmental change. Applied work in horticulture uses the collections for studies in plant propagation, plant introduction, and environmental management. This diversity of scientific investigation is founded in a continuing commitment to acquire, grow, and document the recognized species and infraspecific taxa of ligneous plants of the Northern Hemisphere that are able to withstand the climate of the Arboretum’s 265-acre (1.07 km2) Jamaica Plain/Roslindale site.
As a primary resource for research in plant biology, the Arboretum’s living collections are actively developed, curated, and managed to support scientific investigation and study. To this end, acquisition policies place priority on obtaining plants that are genetically representative of documented wild populations. For each taxon, the Arnold Arboretum aspires to grow multiple accessions of known wild provenance in order to represent significant variation that may occur across the geographic range of the species. Accessions of garden or cultivated provenance are also acquired as governed by the collections policies herein.
For all specimens, full documentation of both provenance and history within the collection is a critical priority. Curatorial procedures provide for complete and accurate records for each accession, and document original provenance, locations in the collections, and changes in botanical identity. Herbarium specimens, DNA materials, and digital images are gathered for the collection and maintained in Arboretum data systems and the herbarium at the Roslindale site.
Research
Research on plant pathology and integrated pest management for maintenance of the living collections is constantly ongoing. Herbarium-based research focuses on the systematics and biodiversity of both temperate and tropical Asian forests, as well as the ecology and potential for sustainable use of their resources. The Arboretum's education programs offer school groups and the general public a wide range of lectures, courses, and walks focusing on the ecology and cultivation of plants. Its quarterly magazine, Arnoldia, provides in-depth information on horticulture, botany, and garden history. Current Research Initiatives
Plant Records
Plant records are maintained on a computerized database, BG-BASE 6.8 (BG-Base Inc.), which was initiated in 1985 at the request of the Arnold Arboretum and the Threatened Plants Unit (TPU) of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC). A computerized mapping program (based on AutoCAD (Autodesk)) is linked to BG-BASE, and each accession is recorded on a series of maps at a scale of 1-inch (25 mm) to 20 feet (1:240) or 1-inch (25 mm) to 10 feet (1:120). A computer-driven embosser generates records labels. All accessioned plants in the collections are labeled with accession number, botanical name, and cultivar name (when appropriate), source information, common name, and map location. Trunk and/or display labels are also hung on many accessions and include botanical and common names and nativity. Stake labels are used to identify plants located in the Leventritt Garden and Chinese Path.
Grounds Maintenance
The grounds staff consists of the superintendent and assistant superintendent, three arborists, and ten horticultural technologists. A service garage is adjacent to the Hunnewell Building, where offices and locker rooms are located. During the summer months ten horticultural interns supplement the grounds staff. A wide array of vehicles and modern equipment, including an aerial lift truck and a John Deere backhoe and front loader, are used in grounds maintenance. Permanent grounds staff, excluding the superintendents, are members of AFL/CIO Local 615, Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Nursery and Greenhouse Facilities
The Dana Greenhouses, located at 1050 Centre Street (with a mailing address of 125 Arborway), were completed in 1962. They comprise four service greenhouses totaling 3,744 square feet (348 m²), the headhouse with offices, cold rooms, storage areas, and a classroom. Staffing at the greenhouse includes the manager of greenhouses and nurseries, the plant propagator, two assistants, and, during the summer months, two horticultural interns. Adjacent to the greenhouse is a shade house of 3,150 square feet (293 m²), a 12,600 cubic foot (357 m³) cold storage facility, and three irrigated, inground nurseries totaling approximately one and one-half acres (6,000 m²). Also located in the greenhouse complex is the bonsai pavilion, where the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection is displayed from the middle of April to the end of October. During the winter months the bonsai are held in the cold storage unit at temperatures slightly above freezing.
Isabella Welles Hunnewell Internship Program
The living collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a paid summer internship program [2] that combines hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Intern trainees will be accepted for 12- to 24-week appointments. Ten interns will work with the grounds maintenance department and two in the Dana Greenhouses.
As part of the training program, interns participate in mandatory instructional sessions and field trips in order to develop a broader sense of the Arboretum’s horticultural practices as well as those of other institutions. Sessions and field trips are led by Arnold staff members and embrace an open question and answer format encouraging all to participate. Interns often bring experience and knowledge that everyone, including staff, benefits from. It is a competitive-free learning environment.
Horticultural Apprenticeship
The Arboretum created the horticultural apprenticeship program in 1997 to provide hands-on experience in all aspects of the development, curation, and maintenance of the Arboretum's living collections to individuals interested in pursuing a career in an arboretum or botanical garden.
The Living Collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a summer internship program[4] that combines practical hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Fourteen Interns/Horticultural Trainees are accepted for twelve to twenty-four week appointments. Interns receive the majority of their training in one of three departments: Grounds Maintenance, Nursery and Greenhouse, or Plant Records.
Lilac Sunday
The second Sunday in May every year is "Lilac Sunday". This is the only day of the year that picnicing is allowed. In 2008, on the 100th anniversary of Lilac Sunday, the Arboretum website touted:
Of the thousands of flowering plants in the Arboretum, only one, the lilac, is singled out each year for a daylong celebration. On Lilac Sunday, garden enthusiasts from all over New England gather at the Arboretum to picnic, watch Morris dancing, and tour the lilac collection. On the day of the event, which takes place rain or shine, the Arboretum is open as usual from dawn to dusk.[5]
Associated Collections
The Arboretum's herbarium in Jamaica Plain holds specimens of cultivated plants that relate to the living collections (ca. 160,000). The Jamaica Plain herbarium, horticultural library, archives, and photographs are maintained in the Hunnewell building at 125 Arborway; however, the main portions of the herbarium and library collections are housed in Cambridge on the campus of Harvard University, at 22 Divinity Avenue.
Publications
The inventory of living collections is updated periodically and made available to sister botanical gardens and arboreta on request; it is also available on the Arboretum’s website (searchable inventory). Arnoldia, the quarterly magazine of the Arnold Arboretum, frequently publishes articles relating to the living collections. A Reunion of Trees[6] by Stephen A. Spongberg (curator emeritus) recounts the history of the introduction of many of the exotic species included in the Arobretum’s collections. New England Natives[7] written by horticultural research archivist Sheila Connor describes many of the trees and shrubs of the New England flora and the ways New Englanders have used them since prehistoric times. Science in the Pleasure Ground[8] by Ida Hay (former curatorial associate) constitutes an institutional biography of the Arboretum.
Institutional Collaborations
The Arboretum maintains an institutional membership in the American Public Garden Association (APGA) and the International Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta. Additionally, members of the staff are associated with many national and international botanical and horticultural organizations. The Arboretum is also a cooperating institution with the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC), and as an active member of the North American Plant Collections Consortium (NAPCC), it is committed to broadening and maintaining its holdings of: Acer, Carya, Fagus, Stewartia, Syringa, and Tsuga for the purposes of plant conservation, evaluation, and research. The Arboretum is also a member of the North American China Plant Exploration Consortium (NACPEC).

The Ancient Art of Kushti
The ancient traditional art of Indian wrestling, known as ‘kushti’, thrives in wrestling gyms, or ‘akhara’, scattered around the India. Akhara are one of the few places in India where Hindu men who come from different castes are considered equals.
Guru Jasram Ji's Akhara is on Mathura Road Highway in South Delhi near Modi Mill Flyover. It is one of the biggest and most reputed Akharas (wrestling training centers) in India. The Akhara is run by 85-year-old Guru Jasram Ji. Everyday he comes to the Akhara at 5.a.m. and 3 .p.m. to train the wrestlers.

B-Day Reubens 3-17-2007
www.squidoo.com/reubensandwich
www.foodtimeline.org/foodsandwiches.html#reuben
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuben_sandwich
whatscookingamerica.net/History/Sandwiches/ReubenSandwich...
My Grandmother always told me her sister (Fern Snider) invented this sandwich, she said was a waitress at the Blackstone Hotel.She told me of the sandwich contest also, which I always disbelieved until I read it for myself. My Gramma Loved Reuben Sandwiches which is weird because that was the only time she would eat sauerkraut.
Anytime she would see they had Reubens on the menu she would order one.. which was quite often here in Omaha. I still think of my Grandma when I make these.
Recipe;
Seek out the the best ingredients to get the best flavor!
Try to get a point cut brisket from a real butcher or deli rather than the vacuum sealed thing in the chain grocery stores. If you are unable to do this do use the vacuum sealed one throw away that little flavorless packet thing and season it yourself. I like to use a dry rub of lots of fresh ground pepper, then caraway seeds, kosher salt, Hungarian paprika (hot). Then brown it with a small amount of olive oil to get it started in a large cast iron skillet. Then add rosemary, thyme, and garlic, after it is completely browned care not to burn the herbs and garlic. Keep in mind it is well raw and nowhere near throughly cooked through (you can not cook a tough cut of meat like this on the stovetop) pre-browing it just brings out more flavor and fat to help it in the crock pot. I will coarse chop half of a cabbage and put that in the crock pot and turn it on low. Add your brisket with all the fat drippings to the crock pot and then it will slow cook 8-9 hours transforming it from a disgusting flabbity piece of gross undercooked meat hunk, into a delicious savory tender mouth watering addictive thing of marvelous beauty!
Bread: seek out local bakeries and try to find a quality bread.
Rule of thumb for bread: chain store=bad local bakery=awesome! What you will generally find in a chain grocery will not do your sandwich justice, look for something made at a local bakery (I spent my childhood tagging along with my grandfather who was a lifelong baker and would constantly visit other local bakeries just to make friends and seek out quality breads).
Upscale grocery stores will have a better bread choice if that is your only option.
Don't be afraid to experiment, German Pumpernickel, Jewish Rye, Light Rye, American Rye.
Make your own 1000 Island dressing which is easy it will taste better.
I make my own every time and it is always delicious because I make it to taste.
Cheese: I'm not too picky, usually any Emmental Swiss is good Try to find something not too sharp with too much cheese funk, Baby Swiss is ok, Look for Swiss that has smaller holes and is not aged so long.
Sauerkraut: find one you like, no need to be too picky here.
try to drain it as much a humanly possible so it does not waterlog your sandwich.
Cooking the Sandwich: Which is a very important step.
It should be delicious if all your ingredients are good. If your cooking for more than 2/3 people then use two large cast iron pans, I like extra virgin olive oil instead of butter or a mix of the two. Very important you must preheat! but too hot=burned sandwich. Now preheat the pans, you should be able to feel slightly uncomfortable heat if you place your hand 3 inches above them. Add enough olive oil to coat the pan (if your oil is smoking your pan is too hot). The cast iron holds heat well but still try not to over crowd the pan maybe 2 sandwiches per pan if it is large.
Last thing when you make your sandwitches do not try to make them heaping huge piles like fred flintstone style, a sensible balance of ingredients is important. If you add too much to them they will fall apart and not heat up as well in the center. Large is good but keep in mind if it is super huge it will tend to fall apart and not fit in your mouth hole.
VENICE BIENNALE / VENEZIA BIENNIAL 2013 : BIENNALIST
www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html
Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )

(Only Navy Officer with this surname)
HMS Vortigern - 15th March 1942
Sunk off Cromer by E-Boat S104 during defence of Coastal Convoy with HM
Corvette GUILLEMOT.
Casualty List was published on 16th May 1942.
(Note : 110 of ships’ company were killed with only 14 survivors.
This was the heaviest loss of life of RN personnel in any one ship in defence
of an east coast convoy.)
www.naval-history.net/xGM-Chrono-10DD-09VW-Vortigern.htm
On 15 March 1942 HMS Vortigern (Lt.Cdr. Ronald Stanley Howlett, RN) was torpedoed and sunk off Cromer in position 55º06'N, 01º22'E by the German motor torpedo boat (E-boat) S-104. HMS Vortigern was escorting coastal convoy FS-749 at the time of her loss.
The wreck lies in 17 meters of water in position 53º13'06"N, 01º06'54"E.
www.uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/4701.html
The loss of HMS VORTIGERN
In the early hours of 15th March 1942 convoy FS49 was proceeding South. When near the 57D buoy seventeen miles north of Cromer they were attacked by E boats. S 104 (Captain Oberleutnant Roeder) of the German 4th MTB Flotilla, sank HMS VORTIGERN with torpedoes. The other escort vessel HMS GUILLEMOT, a corvette based in Harwich following Naval Orders. ignored the survivors in the water and continued with her duty of escorting the convoy. At dawn, the GUILLEMOT turned round and found the wreck with two survivors clinging to the stern. The VORTIGERN had been torpedoed forward and had plunged down with her bow on the sea bed. The sea all round was strewn with bodies several of which were later recovered by the Cromer and Sheringham lifeboats. The search by the GUILLEMOT recovered only 14 men. 147 men lost their lives, making this the worst incident recorded off the east coat during the Second War. At a later board of enquiry it was found that contrary to standing regulations most if not all the Carley Floats had been lashed down and few of the crew had been wearing lifejackets.
Surprisingly the wreck site has never been declared an Official War Grave.
Nicholas Monsarrat who served on GUILLEMOT as an officer described the event in his book “Three Corvettes” .
Details of the VORTIGERN are included in "Ship-Wrecks off North Norfolk".

The HMS Willamette Valley was actually a “Q”ship, the Edgehill, a converted merchant seaman with hidden guns out hunting for U-Boats. She was torpedoed on this day and sank with the loss of 68 lives.

At 0012, decoy ship HMS Edgehill was hit by one torpedo from U-51 amidships and stopped but did not sink due to her buoyant cargo. The U-boat surfaced and fired a coup de grâce at 0106, but it needed a third torpedo at 0124 to let the vessel sink slowly by the stern. Built as motor ship West Lynn (4702 tons), 1931 renamed Willamette Valley for Sir William Reardon Smith and Sons Ltd, Cardiff. On 17 Sep 1939 requisitioned by the Royal Navy and converted to a decoy ship, commissioned as special service vessel (SSV) HMS Edgehill (X 39). The ship had a concealed armament of nine 4in guns and four torpedo tubes and carried a buoyant cargo to help keep her afloat if hit.

On 1 August, the Guards were called up to continue the rapid advance that the 11th Armoured had created against the two German infantry divisions (326. and 276.). The next two weeks would see intense bocage fighting as the Germans, reinforced with the 21. Panzer, 1., 9. and 10. SS-Panzerdivisions, fought for every mile of French ground. By 15 August, the German 7th Army began to withdraw only to be caught in the infamous Falaise Pocket. The Guards were able to withdraw for refit, rest and restructuring.

Built in 1918 she was originally named Sunburst and served with the Royal Navy during WWI. In 1940 she was renamed Boy Andrew and used as an Admiralty Drifter.
On 9 November 1941 Boy Andrew was heading East along a swept channel in the Firth of Forth. Sailing along the same channel was the steamship St Rognvald. The steamship was gradually overtaking Boy Andrew at a lateral distance of about 100 feet. With the St Rognvald on her starboard quarter Boy Andrew suddenly swerved to starboard and both ships collided. Boy Andrew sank with the loss of her skipper George F Ball and 11 crewmen. This included two brothers, Frederick and Robert Goodwin from Edinburgh.
The National Archives has a file on this collision, TS32/479

HMS Copra was a base name for ratings, (mid-shipman and below), who were assigned to Combined Ops -- essentially manning the various landing craft and small support craft required for an amphibious assault such as D-Day or Anzio & Salerno. Able Seaman Honeywood appears to have lost his life in the Italian Campaign - a number of the graves at Bolsena were re-located from the Island of Elba which was taken from the Germans by an amphibious assault which commenced on the 17th June 1944.

The U-140 only had one raiding patrol, under her first captain, Hans-Peter Hinsch. He took her round the north of Scotland in December 1940 following her work-up program, and it was here she sank her first victim, twelve days into the cruise. He sank two more six days later north of Ireland before he headed home towards retirement for the boat.

This site is from a survivor of 405 Squadron, Frank Miseferi, who flew during 1943/1944 with a crew that included an Englishman called “Erik” Jolly who was the engineer. The skipper was a Canadian called Charlie Fisher. Sometime after D-Day the crew was broken up following a crash which left Frank unable to carry on.

Albania
On Jul 28 1944 a small party of 40 porters drawn from No 9 Commando was involved with No 2 Commando, a company from the HLI and others, in a raid on Albania, codename 'Healing II.' It was designed to open up the coastline south of the Linguetta Peninsula because the partisans were in desperate need of supplies. The action against the 150 strong German garrison at Spilje was designed to create a relatively safe landing area. However, a combination of events conspired against the raiding party. Albanian Quislings had alerted the Germans so the element of surprise was lost and they were well prepared. In addition radio communications were adversely affected by surrounding trees with predictable consequences in not achieving the best use of the resources available. Machine gun nests took an increasingly heavy toll and, with time running out, the Commanding Officer, Colonel Fynn, had no choice but to withdraw his exhausted men including the wounded. 20 men were killed in this action and 60 wounded.
However, the result was better than had first appeared. Many of the German defenders had been killed and wounded together with a number of Quislings. The garrison strength had been weakened to such an extent that local partisans had rounded up the remaining Germans thus taking control over the coastal strip in the area. Brigadier Davey, in a note to Colonel Fynn, considered the mission a 'complete success' notwithstanding the casualties.

On 22 May 1941 she was acting in company with the destroyers HMS Kandahar and HMS Kingston shortly after the loss of HMS Gloucester. She had already expended all of her AA ammunition fighting off numerous air attacks that persisted for two hours. She was attacked and hit by several bombs from Messerschmitt Bf 109s before an aircraft of Jagdgeschwader 77 dropped a bomb close alongside to port. This blew in Fiji’s bottom plates and caused a list to port. Fiji lost power and came to a standstill. She was now largely defenceless, having practically exhausted her 4 inch ammunition. She was then hit by three bombs dropped by a Junkers Ju 87. Captain William-Powlett gave the order to abandon ship and at 2015 Fiji rolled over and sank. The destroyers dropped floats and withdrew to the south. They returned after dark to pick up 523 survivors. 241 men had gone down with the ship.
On 30 May 1941, in a letter to the First Sea Lord, Sir Dudley Pound, Admiral Cunningham wrote, "The sending back of Gloucester and Fiji to the Greyhound was another grave error and cost us those two ships. They were practically out of ammunition but even had they been full up I think they would have gone. The Commanding Officer of Fiji told me that the air over Gloucester was black with planes."

From Alfred Johnson
It was 1942 and I was 22 years old and a Seaman in the Merchant Navy on the Queen Mary. We were returning to Glasgow from New York, which was a four / five day journey.
The Queen Mary was carrying about 20,000 American Troops to join the Allied Forces. She was known as a 'hornets nest' in the war as there were lots of nationalities on the ship.
There were 2 of us on the poop deck on the aft of the ship and we were manning the 6 inch gun - incase we came under attack. What good we could have done with one gun, I've no idea!
A cruiser called HMS Curacao met us 200 miles off the coast to escort us into Greenock. I could see her clearly as I was on the aft. We could see our escort zig-zagging in front of us - it was common for the ships and cruisers to zig-zag to confuse the U-boats. In this particular case however the escort was very, very close to us.
I said to my mate "You know she's zig-zigging all over the place in front of us, I'm sure we're going to hit her."
And sure enough, the Queen Mary sliced the cruiser in two like a piece of butter, straight through the six inch armoured plating. The Queen Mary just carried on going (we were doing about 25 knots). It was the policy not to stop and pick up survivors even if they were waving at you. It was too dangerous as the threat of U-Boats was always present.

In February 1944 No. 461 Squadron was equipped with the more advanced Mark III Sunderland. This aircraft allowed the Squadron to operate at night. Equipped with these improved aircraft the Squadron continued to fly anti-submarine patrols over the Atlantic, including patrols in support of the Allied landing in Normandy. During 1944 the squadron sank three submarines and damaged a further three.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._461_Squadron_RAAF
With the liberation of southern France the submarine threat emanating from ports there declined, and in turn, so did the intensity of the 461 Squadron’s operations. At the end of September 1944, six of its aircraft were deployed to Sullom Voe in the Shetland Islands to conduct operations along the Norwegian Coast. Beginning on 30 September, these lasted until 29 October, when the detachment returned to Pembroke Dock.

From 461 Squadron’s Operational Record Book.
1st November.
The first operational sortie of the month brought, after a period of ten months, the loss of an aircraft and crew, F/O, (A/F/LT) H M Godsall and his crew in ML 735, (‘A’), failing to return from patrol, (flown from SULLOM VOE), 30 miles west of Bergen in Norway. In spite of search in the area, nothing has been seen or heard of the crew or aircraft, and it must be presumed that the crew were taken by surprise and shot down before a signal could be got off. F/Lt Godsall and seven of his crew had previously been in action together in March last, when they successfully fought off a twenty minute attack by four JU88s in the Bay of Biscay, and the majority of the crew have been together for a considerable time.

No match on Lost Bombers.
There are various Luftwaffe claims for Whitleys and a Wellington, two of which are definitely in the Bay of Biscay, but Pilot Officer Tart’s name does not come up as a crew member.
In the summer of 1942, through a combination of new technology, the transfer of obsolescent aircraft from Bomber Command such as earlier marks of the Wellington Bomber, and a growing number of air-crew being produced by the Dominion Air Schools, Coastal Command achieved notable successes in the war against the U-Boats , as they sailed from France via the Bay of Biscay to their huntings grounds on the Atlantic seaboards of North and South America. However, from September the pendulum swung the other way. The U-Boat losses prompted the dispatch of long-range fighter units, principally flying JU-88’s to provide air-cover and re-establish German control. Coastal Command losses rose dramatically.
On the 15th October 1942, the official Luftwaffe claims include a Whitley bomber shot down by Lieutenant Heinz Olbrecht at 17.23, in a position which if I’ve interpreted the grid position correctly corresponds to the Bay of Biscay. Lost Bombers has no Whitley recorded as lost on that day, which makes it likely that the plane was from Coastal Command. None of this proves that Pilot Officer Tart was on board, so the search will need to continue. (See Comments below for more information on the fate of Pilot Officer Tart)

Note slight discrepancy in date of death.
Throughout the Second World War No.24 Squadron served as a communications and transport squadron, operating a wide range of aircraft. When war broke out it had been planned to replace the mixed bag of aircraft then in use with twenty Miles Mentors, but this plan had to be abandoned, and the squadron would not begin to concentrate on a single type until April 1942.
As the senior transport squadron it often carried V.I.P.s. In March 1943 it was given the task of operating Churchill's personal Avro York, soon named "Ascalon". The first two production Yorks were also given to the squadron, also as V.I.P. transports. The month after the arrival of the first York, the squadron began to standardise on the Douglas Dakota. The smaller aircraft remained with the squadron until August 1943, when they were transferred to No.512 Squadron.
The scope of the squadron's operations reflects the nature of the war. From 1939 until the summer of 1940 No.24 frequently flew into France. From 1940 until April 1942 the majority of flights were within Britain. In that month the squadron joined Ferry Command and began to operate between Britain and Malta. In the last few years of the war the squadron was used to transport Churchill and other key personnel to the wartime conferences.

The British 1st Airlanding Brigade mounted in 137 gliders, were the first to land. They were to seize the Ponte Grande Bridge south of Syracuse. These landings were, on the whole, unsuccessful. Of the 137 gliders, 69 came down in the sea, drowning some 200 men. A further 56 landed in the wrong area of Sicily and just 12 reached the target area and managed to take the bridge.

VENICE BIENNALE / VENEZIA BIENNIAL 2013 : BIENNALIST
www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html
Biennalist is an Art Format by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel debating with artistic tools on Biennales and other cultural managed events . Often those events promote them selves with thematics and press releases faking their aim . Biennalist take the thematics of the Biennales very seriously , and test their pertinance . Artists have questioned for decade the canvas , the pigment , the museum ... since 1989 we question the Biennales .Often Biennalist converge with Emergency Room providing a burning content that cannot wait ( today before it is too late )

**************************
I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that, until last night, I had never been to a professional football game in my life. Baseball, basketball, and tennis: yes, of course. High-school and college football games: sure, though that was a long time ago. Indeed, the last college football game I watched (in person) was in the mid-60s, when I was invited to the annual Harvard-Yale game by a Radcliffe student I had begun dating -- a development to which my MIT college roommate reacted, in shock, by howling, "Radcliffe? You're dating a Cliffie? She must be a pig!" After which he pulled out his flute, every time he thought she might be present when he returned to our off-campus apartment, and played "Old McDonald Had a Farm" until he collapsed in gales of laughter on the stairwell. Highly inaccurate, I hasten to note, and totally unfair. But I digress...
Anyway, a freelance writer, Mitch Ligon (whose photo you can see here in one of my Flickr sets), invited me to accompany him last night to the New York Jets - Philadelphia Eagles game out in the New Jersey Meadowlands -- another first-time experience. I was given a photographer's press pass, which gave me access to the locker rooms, press box, various other "inner sanctum" locations ... and, most important, the football field itself. I was given a red jersey to wear, told to stay outside the yellow dashed lines that ring the field, and turned loose for the evening. I felt somewhat inadequate, because I knew that the "real" professional photographers would be equipped with high-cameras and monstrous telephoto lenses beyond anything I had ever touched, or could possibly afford; and even though my Nikon D300 and 70-300mm zoom lens is fairly respectable in amateur circles, I had no idea if I would be able to take any decent photos at all...
The other problem is that I know little or nothing about the nuances of football, beyond the obvious fact that the quarterback either passes the ball, or hands off to someone who attempts to run the ball downfield. Punts and field-goal kicks are also a familiar concept, but if you don't have a good anticipatory sense of who is about to do what to whom, it's easy to miss the "moment" when the perfect shot might be available. Also, I didn't really know anything about the players, aside from the respective star quarterbacks: Philadelphia's controversial Michael Vick, and New York's newly-named starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez. I had looked at the team rosters on the Internet before the game, so at least I knew their jersey numbers (#6 for Sanchez, and #7 for Vick, as you'll see in the photos) -- but the "action" was often so far away (at the other end of the field) that I couldn't tell whether the starting quarterback, or one of the substitutes, was making the plays.
Nevertheless, by the beginning of the second quarter I was feeling a little more comfortable -- if only because I found it easy to follow along behind the other professional photographers as they marched (or ran) from one end of the field to the other, in order to get their equipment set up for what they expected would be the next great shot. By the end of the game, I had taken 1,100+ photos, including several of Michael Vick in a post-game locker-room interview; and from the sound of the clickety-click-clack of my fellow photographers, I could tell that many of them had taken several thousand. I'll spare you the technical details of my feeble attempts to get some decent shots; I had picked up some good tips from the sports-photography chapter of Scott Kelby's Digital Photography, and I did my best within the limitations of my equipment and my lack of familiarity with the situation.
What impressed me most about the whole experience was the scale of modern professional football -- the scale of everything. It's one thing to read that there are 80,000 people in a football stadium; it's another thing to actually be there and hear the simultaneous roar of those 80,000 people as a quarterback is sacked or a long pass is completed. It's one thing to read that a professional football player is 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 350 pounds; it's another thing to stand next to several dozen such giants. Heck, I thought there were only 20 or 30 such giants on each team; I had no idea that there were 64 of them (a number which will be pared down as the pre-season comes to an end), or that there might be 20-30 different coaches. And then there are the hundreds of "staff members" scurrying around all over the place, carrying out their various duties and assignments; and there are the security guards and State Police, who spent most of the time scanning the stadium crowd rather than watching the players, presumably watching for scuffles or fights or ... well, who knows what. There are cheerleaders too, in this case bearing the official name of New York Jets Flight Crew; I had expected half a dozen, but there were two dozen perky, long-haired beauties, with permanently frozen smiles, who who danced and pranced before the crowd at every conceivable opportunity.
All of this has resulted in the photos you'll see in this album. I had to delete roughly a hundred of my original images, because they were out of focus, or because a referee decided to walk in front of my camera at the wrong moment; and another 900 were "okay," but not terribly exciting. I'm sure that none of them are as crisp, sharp, and well-composed as those taken by the Sports Illustrated photographer and the other professionals on the field; but I did end up with 72 "keepers" that I hope you'll enjoy...
... and, yes, I probably will attend another football game or two in the years ahead. Whether I'm lucky enough to get down on the field again is anyone's guess....
Fountain Paint Pot trail, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA

This part of Lower Geyser Basin seen from a half-mile trail has all four of the hydrothermal features found in the park:
Clepsydra Geyser is a geyser in the Lower Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. Clepsydra plays nearly continuously to heights of 45 feet. The name Clepsydra is derived from the Greek word for water clock. Prior to the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake, it erupted regularly every three minutes.
Yellowstone National Park has several hydrothermal areas, so what makes the Fountain Paint Pot Area worth visiting? For starters, this part of Lower Geyser Basin has all four of the hydrothermal features found in the park (mudpots, geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles) and you can see them all from a compact half-mile long boardwalk loop. While none of the many Fountain Paint Pot Area geysers are as famous as Old Faithful, they erupt so frequently that you are almost guaranteed a great show on your short hike. Since the walkway passes all four of Yellowstone’s hydrothermal formations, the hike comes with a guaranteed lesson in hydrothermal volcanism.
Hiking the loop in a clockwise direction, you will first pass through a forest of lodgepole pine snags that were drowned and left lifeless by the surrounding hot springs. As you approach the northwest end of the loop, you will spot a lively collection of geysers. Clepsydra Geyser, Fountain Geyser, Jelly Geyser, Jet Geyser, Morning Geyser, Spasm Geyser, and Twig Geyser erupt with various levels of regularity.
As you progress around the walkway toward the northeast corner, you will pass Red Spouter, which behaves like a fumarole, a hot spring, and a mudpot throughout the year. It is like a hot spring in the winter, a muddy reddish pool in the spring and a steaming fumarole in the drier summer and fall. Wrapping down the east side of the boardwalk, you will pass Leather Pool and a slope of fumaroles. These gaps in the surface whistle and hiss as gasses and steam escape from the ground. Just below the fumaroles, where a little more water is present, the trail circles Fountain Paint Pot. These mudpots bubble and pop as globs of mud springs from the surface like miniature trapeze artists.
Continuing downhill, the hydrothermal features become even wetter as you arrive at Silex Spring. Look down into the small blue pool rimmed with white silica. Water spills over the sides of the spring creating an orange-colored surface covered in rippling runoff. These colors are created by thermophiles, heat-loving microorganisms that live in Yellowstone’s hot springs.

Geothermal features of Yellowstone NP- A brief note:
There are four geothermal features found in the park – Hot springs, Geysers, Fumaroles , and Mud volcanoes/pots.
What is a Hot spring?
Hot spring, also called thermal spring, spring with water at temperatures substantially higher than the air temperature of the surrounding region. Most hot springs discharge groundwater that is heated by shallow intrusions of magma (molten rock) in volcanic areas.
Some thermal springs, however, are not related to volcanic activity. In general, the temperature of rocks within the earth increases with depth. The rate of temperature increase with depth is known as the geothermal gradient. In such cases, the water is heated by convective circulation: groundwater percolating downward reaches depths of a kilometre or more where the temperature of rocks is high because of the normal temperature gradient of the Earth’s crust—about 30 °C / kilometer in the first 10 km. The water from hot springs in non-volcanic areas is heated in this manner.
But in active volcanic zones such as Yellowstone National Park, water may be heated by coming into contact with magma (molten rock). The high temperature gradient near magma may cause water to be heated enough that it boils or becomes superheated. If the water becomes so hot that it builds steam pressure and erupts in a jet above the surface of the Earth, it is called a geyser.
[ Warm springs are sometimes the result of hot and cold springs mixing. They may occur within a volcanic area or outside of one. One example of a non-volcanic warm spring is Warm Springs, Georgia (frequented for its therapeutic effects by paraplegic U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who built the Little White House there) ].
List of hot springs:
[ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hot_springs ]
The science of colors of a hot spring:
[ ttps://www.britannica.com/science/hot-spring]
Many of the colours in hot springs are caused by thermophilic (heat-loving) microorganisms, which include certain types of bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, and species of archaea and algae. Many thermophilic organisms grow in huge colonies called mats that form the colourful scums and slimes on the sides of hot springs. The microorganisms that grow in hot springs derive their energy from various chemicals and metals; potential energy sources include molecular hydrogen, dissolved sulfides, methane, iron, ammonia, and arsenic. In addition to geochemistry, the temperature and pH of hot springs play a central role in determining which organisms inhabit them.
Examples of thermophilic microorganisms found in hot springs include bacteria in the genera Sulfolobus, which can grow at temperatures of up to 90 °C (194 °F), Hydrogenobacter, which grow optimally at temperatures of 85 °C (185 °F), and Thermocrinis, which grow optimally at temperatures of 80 °C (176 °F). Thermophilic algae in hot springs are most abundant at temperatures of 55 °C (131 °F) or below.
What is a Geyser?
A geyser is formed when water collecting below the surface is heated by a magma source. When the water boils, it rises to the surface. If the water has an unobstructed path, it will pool on the surface in the form of a steaming hot springs. If the passage of the water is imposed upon, the pressure will increase. When the pressure becomes too great, the water converts into to steam. Steam takes up 1,500 times the volume of water, and at this point, the pressure becomes so intense that the steam and surrounding water droplets shoot out of the ground in geyser form, erupting until the pressure has abated and the process starts all over again.
What is a fumarole?
It’s a vent in the Earth’s surface from which steam and volcanic gases are emitted. The major source of the water vapour emitted by fumaroles is groundwater heated by bodies of magma lying relatively close to the surface. Carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide are usually emitted directly from the magma. Fumaroles are often present on active volcanoes during periods of relative quiet between eruptions.
Fumaroles are closely related to hot springs and geysers. In areas where the water table rises near the surface, fumaroles can become hot springs. A fumarole rich in sulfur gases is called a solfatara; a fumarole rich in carbon dioxide is called a mofette. If the hot water of a spring only reaches the surface in the form of steam, it is called a fumarole. [ www.britannica.com/science/fumarole ]
What is a mud volcano/ mud pot/ paint pot?
Usually mud volcanoes are created by hot-spring activity where large amounts of gas and small amounts of water react chemically with the surrounding rocks and form a boiling mud.
Geo-chemistry of mud volcano: Hydrogen sulfide gas rising from magma chamber, as in Yellowstone’s, causes the rotten-egg smell. Microorganisms, or thermophiles, use this gas as a source of energy, and then help turn the gas into sulfuric acid. The acid then breaks down the rocks and soil into mud. Many of the colors seen are vast communities of thermophiles, but some of the yellow is pure sulfur. When iron mixes with sulfur to form iron sulfide, gray and black swirls sometimes appear in the mud (From description of the display board in the park).
If the water of a hot spring is mixed with mud and clay, it is called a mud pot. Variations are the porridge pot (a basin of boiling mud that erodes chunks of the surrounding rock) and the paint pot (a basin of boiling mud that is tinted yellow, green, or blue by minerals from the surrounding rocks).
There are other mud volcanoes, entirely of a nonigneous origin, occur only in oil-field regions that are relatively young and have soft, unconsolidated formations.

A quick overview of YNP
Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Approximately 96 percent of the land area of Yellowstone National Park is located within the state of Wyoming. The Park spans an area of 8,983 km2 comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests eco-region.
It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. Aside from visits by mountain -men during the early to mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s.
The park contains the headwaters of the Yellowstone River, from which it takes its historical name. Although it is commonly believed that the river was named for the yellow rocks seen in the ‘Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone’, the Native American name source is unclear.
Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered as an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million year. The Yellowstone Caldera is the largest volcanic system in North America. It has been termed a "supervolcano" because the caldera was formed by exceptionally large explosive eruptions. The magma chamber that lies under Yellowstone is estimated to be a single connected chamber, about 60 km long, 29 km wide, and 5 to 12 km deep. Yellowstone Lake is up to 400 feet deep and has 180 km of shoreline.The lake is at an elevation of 7,733 feet above sea levels. Half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features are there in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In May 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey, Yellowstone National Park, and the University of Utah created the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO), a partnership for long-term monitoring of the geological processes of the Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field, for disseminating information concerning the potential hazards of this geologically active region.
Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles have been documented, including several that are either endangered or threatened. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most famous mega fauna location in the contiguous United States. Grizzly bears, wolves, and free-ranging herds of bison and elk live in this park. The Yellowstone Park bison herd is the oldest and largest public bison herd in the United States.
Forest fires occur in the park each year. In the largest forest fires of 1988, nearly one third of the park was burnt.
Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. During the winter, visitors often access the park by way of guided tours that use either snow coaches or snowmobiles.
Fire in Yellowstone NP:
Causes of wildfire in Yellowstone NP
Wildfire has had a role in the dynamics of Yellowstone’s ecosystems for thousands of years. Although many fires were caused by human activities, most ignitions were natural. The term "natural ignition" usually refers to a lightning strike. Afternoon thunderstorms occur frequently in the northern Rocky Mountains but release little precipitation, a condition known as ‘dry lightning’. In a typical season there are thousands of lightning strikes in Yellowstone. Lightning strikes are powerful enough to rip strips of bark off of a tree in a shower of sparks and blow the pieces up to 100 feet away. However, most lightning strikes do not result in a wildfire because fuels are not in a combustible state.
The great fire incidence of 1988
The Yellowstone fires of 1988 collectively formed the largest wildfire in the recorded history of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Starting as many smaller individual fires, the flames quickly spread out of control due to drought conditions and increasing winds, combining into one large conflagration which burned for several months. The fires almost destroyed two major visitor destinations and, on September 8, 1988, the entire park closed to all non-emergency personnel for the first time in its history. Only the arrival of cool and moist weather in the late autumn brought the fires to an end. A total of 793,880 acres, or 36 percent of the park was affected by the wildfires.
Fire incidence, 2016
As of September 21, 2016, 22 fires (human and lightning-caused) have burned more than 62,000 acres in Yellowstone National Park, making it the highest number of acres burned since the historic 1988 fire.
Heritage and Research Center
The Heritage and Research Center is located at Gardiner, Montana, near the north entrance to the park. The center is home to the Yellowstone National Park's museum collection, archives, research library, historian, archeology lab, and herbarium. The Yellowstone National Park Archives maintain collections of historical records of Yellowstone and the National Park Service. The collection includes the administrative records of Yellowstone, as well as resource management records, records from major projects, and donated manuscripts and personal papers. The archives are affiliated with the National Archives and Records Administration.

Clipe filme gospel (II) "Que erros são mais facilmente cometidos em se acolher ao Senhor?"
Muitas pessoas de fé em círculos religiosos acreditam no que os pastores e presbíteros dizem "Todas as palavras e obras de Deus estão na Bíblia. Seria impossível que qualquer palavra de Deus aparecesse fora da Bíblia". Existe base bíblica para essa afirmação? O Senhor Jesus proferiu essas palavras? Em Apocalipse é profetizado muitas vezes: "Quem tem ouvidos, ouça o que o Espírito diz às igrejas". As palavras do Senhor dizem isso claramente: quando o Senhor retornar nos últimos dias, Ele falará novamente. Em termos de acolher a vinda do Senhor, se não nos apartarmos da Bíblia e buscarmos o que diz o Espírito Santo às igrejas, poderemos dar as boas-vindas ao Senhor?

Sexy Losers
First, before reading any further, look at picture
attached (also available here:
www.sexylosers.com/148.html .)
If that didn't bring a smile to your face, you
probably don't get most of this blog. But for the rest
of you, I'm glad you shared that laugh with me. Sexy
Losers is full of such jewels, and I hope you will
explore the site more fully:
This website has many different ongoing seiries,
created by "clay" and his collaborators. I think you
will find it richly rewarding. I want to focus one
series that I found particularly outrageous, and
therefore very funny!
I was laughing out loud at the adventures of "Chie
Sakamachi, Bukkake Porn Star". The source subject of
this particular strip (the Japanese practice of
bukkake - orgies where large groups of men masturbate
to orgasm, ejaculating their semen onto the face of a
submissive female) could be disturbing to some, but
this strip shows the private life of a young starlet
in this field with such irony and wit, that it won me
over. It is sure to offend many, but for those who can
enjoy the series on it's own merits instead of judging
it based on the fetish it stems from, it will be a
clever, fun read.
This reveiw in no way reflects my own preferences or
fetishes. But, by the time I got to the strip where
Chie is complaining to her roommate about how all her
dates just want to jack off on her face, and her
roommate responds by strapping on a dildo and
proclaiming "Must jack off ... in Chie's face ...
Cannot resist ... Penis not real ... but ... MUST ...
TRY ... ANYWAY ..." and then reading Chie's punchline
response, I was won over and practically rolling on
the floor!
Here are the URL's for some of my favorite strips from
the series, and I would highly encourage you to look
at them. See if you don't laugh at the absurdity of it
all.
Also, here's one from another series ... just because!

1. मत्ती 12:1 उस समय यीशु
2. मत्ती 12:6-8 पर मैं तुम से कहता हूँ कि यहाँ वह है जो मन्दिर से भी बड़ा है। यदि तुम इसका अर्थ जानते, “मैं दया से प्रसन्न होता हूँ, बलिदान से नहीं,” तो तुम निर्दोष को दोषी न ठहराते। मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है।
आओ पहले हम इस अंश को देखें: “उस समय यीशु सब्त के दिन खेतों में से होकर जा रहा था, और उसके चेलों को भूख लगी तो वे बालें तोड़-तोड़कर खाने लगे।”
हमने इस अंश को क्यो चुना है? इसका परमेश्वर के स्वभाव से क्या सम्बन्ध है? इस पाठ में, पहली चीज़ जो हम जानते हैं वह है कि यह सब्त का दिन था, परन्तु बाहर गया और अपने चेलों को अनाज के खेतों में ले गया। इससे ज्यादा “चौंका देने वाली बात” क्या हो सकती है कि वे मकई की “बालें तोड़-तोड़कर खाने लगे।” व्यवस्था के युग में, यहोवा परमेश्वर की व्यवस्था थी कि लोग सब्त के दिन यूँ ही बाहर नहीं जा सकते थे और गतिविधियों में भाग नहीं ले सकते थे—बहुत सी ऐसी बातें थीं जिन्हें सब्त के दिन नहीं किया जा सकता था। प्रभु यीशु की ओर से किया गया यह कार्य उनके लिए पेचीदा था जो एक लम्बे समय से व्यवस्था के अधीन जीवन बिता रहे थे, और इसने आलोचना को भी भड़काया था। जहाँ तक उनके भ्रम और इस बात का संबंध है कि यीशु ने जो किया उसके बारे में उन्होंने किस प्रकार बात की, हम फिलहाल उसे एक ओर रखेंगे और पहले यह चर्चा करेंगे कि प्रभु यीशु ने, सभी दिनों में से, सब्त के दिन ही ऐसा करना क्यों चुना, और इस कार्य के द्वारा वह उन लोगों से क्या कहना चाहता था जो व्यवस्था के अधीन रह रहे थे। यह इस अंश और परमेश्वर के स्वभाव के बीच का संबंध है जिसके बारे में मैं तुमसे बात करना चाहता हूँ।
जब प्रभु यीशु मसीह आया, तो उसने लोगों से संवाद करने के लिए अपने व्यावहारिक कार्यों का उपयोग कियाः परमेश्वर ने व्यवस्था के युग को अलविदा किया था और नए कार्य का प्रारम्भ किया था, और इस नए कार्य को सब्त का पालन करने की आवश्यकता नहीं थी; जब परमेश्वर सब्त के दिन की सीमाओं से बाहर आ गया, तो यह उसके नए कार्य का बस एक पूर्वानुभव था, और उसका सचमुच का महान कार्य लगातार जारी हो रहा था। जब प्रभु यीशु ने अपना कार्य प्रारम्भ किया, तो उसने पहले से ही व्यवस्था की जंज़ीरों को पीछे छोड़ दिया था, और उस युग के विधि-विधानों और सिद्धांतों को तोड़ दिया था। उसमें, व्यवस्था से जुड़ी किसी भी बात का निशान नहीं था; उसने उसे पूर्णत: उतार कर फेंक दिया था तथा उसका अब और अनुसरण नहीं करता था, और उसने मनुष्यजाति से उसका अब और अनुसरण करने की अपेक्षा नहीं की थी। इसलिए तुम यहाँ देखते हो कि प्रभु यीशु सब्त के दिन मकई के खेतों से होकर गुज़रा, प्रभु ने आराम नहीं किया, बल्कि बाहर काम करता रहा। उसका यह कार्य लोगों की धारणाओं के लिए एक आघात था और इसने उन्हें सूचित किया कि वह व्यवस्था के अधीन अब और जीवन नहीं बिताएगा, और यह कि उसने सब्त की सीमाओं को छोड़ दिया है और एक नई कार्यशैली के साथ वह मनुष्यजाति के सामने और उनके बीच एक नई छवि में प्रकट हुआ है। उसके इस कार्य ने लोगों को बताया कि वह अपने साथ एक नया कार्य लाया है जो व्यवस्था से बाहर जाने और सब्त से बाहर जाने से आरम्भ हुआ था। जब परमेश्वर ने अपना नया कार्य कार्यान्वित किया, तो वह अतीत से अब और नहीं चिपका रहा, और वह व्यवस्था के युग की विधियों के बारे में अब और चिन्तित नहीं था। न ही वह पूर्ववर्ती युग के अपने कार्य से प्रभावित था, बल्कि उसने सब्त के दिन में भी सामान्य रूप से कार्य किया और जब उसके चेले भूखे थे, तो वे मकई की बालें तोड़कर खा सकते थे। यह सब कुछ परमेश्वर की निगाहों में बिल्कुल सामान्य था। परमेश्वर के पास अधिकांश कार्य करने के लिए जिसे वह करना चाहता है और अधिकांश बातें कहने के लिए जिन्हें वह कहना चाहता है, एक नई शुरूआत हो सकती है। एक बार जब उसने एक नई शुरूआत कर दी, तो वह न तो फिर से अपने पिछले कार्य का उल्लेख करता है और न ही उसे जारी रखता है। क्योंकि परमेश्वर के पास उसके कार्य के स्वयं के सिद्धांत हैं। जब वह नया कार्य शुरू करना चाहता है, तो यह तब होता है जब वह मनुष्यजाति को अपने कार्य के एक नए स्तर में पहुँचाना चाहता है, और जब उसका कार्य एक उच्चतर चरण में प्रवेश कर लेता है। यदि लोग लगातार पुरानी कहावतों या विधि-विधानों के अनुसार काम करते रहेंगे या उन्हें निरन्तर मज़बूती से पकड़ें रहेंगे, तो इसे याद नहीं रखेगा या इसकी प्रशंसा नहीं करेगा। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि वह पहले से ही एक नए कार्य को ला चुका है, और अपने कार्य में एक नए चरण में प्रवेश कर चुका है। जब वह एक नए कार्य को आरम्भ करता है, तो वह मनुष्यजाति के सामने पूर्णतः नई छवि में, पूर्णतः नए कोण से, और पूर्णतः नए तरीके से प्रकट होता है ताकि लोग उसके स्वभाव के भिन्न-भिन्न पहलुओं को और उसके स्वरूप को देख सकें। यह उसके नए कार्य में उसके लक्ष्यों में से एक है। परमेश्वर पुराने को थामे नहीं रहता है या घिसे-पिटे मार्ग को नहीं लेता है; जब वह कार्य करता और बोलता है तो यह उतना निषेधात्मक नहीं होता है जितना लोग कल्पना करते हैं। परमेश्वर में, सभी स्वतंत्र और मुक्त हैं, और कोई निषेधात्मकता नहीं है, कोई लाचारी नहीं है—जो वह मनुष्यजाति के लिए लाता है वह सम्पूर्ण आज़ादी और मुक्ति है। वह एक जीवित परमेश्वर है, एक ऐसा परमेश्वर जो असलियत में, और सचमुच में अस्तित्व में है। वह कोई कठपुतली या मिट्टी की मूर्ति नहीं है, और वह उन मूर्तियों से बिल्कुल भिन्न है जिन्हें लोग प्रतिष्ठापित करते हैं और जिनकी आराधना करते हैं। वह जीवित और जीवन्त है और उसके कार्य और वचन मनुष्यों के लिए जो लेकर आते हैं वे हैं सम्पूर्ण जीवन और ज्योति, सम्पूर्ण स्वतन्त्रता और मुक्ति, क्योंकि वह सत्य, जीवन, और मार्ग को धारण करता है—और वह अपने किसी भी कार्य में किसी भी चीज़ के द्वारा विवश नहीं होता है। लोग चाहे कुछ भी क्यों न कहें और चाहे वे उसके नए कार्य को किसी भी प्रकार से क्यों न देखें या कैसे भी उसका आकलन क्यों न करें, वह बिना किसी रुकावट के अपने कार्य को पूरा करेगा। वह किसी की भी धारणाओं या उसके कार्य और वचनों पर उठी अँगुलियों के बारे में, या अपने नए कार्य के लिए उनके कठोर विरोध और प्रतिरोध की भी चिन्ता नहीं करेगा। जो परमेश्वर करता है उसे मापने या परिभाषित करने, उसके कार्य को बदनाम करने, या तितर-बितर करने या उसमें तोड़फोड़ करने के लिए, संपूर्ण सृष्टि में कोई भी मानवीय तर्क, या मानवीय कल्पनाओं, ज्ञान, या नैतिकता का उपयोग नहीं कर सकता है। उसके कार्य में और जो वह करता है उसमें कोई निषेधात्मकता नहीं है, और उसे किसी मनुष्य, चीज़ या पदार्थ के द्वारा लाचार नहीं किया जाएगा, और उसे किसी शत्रुतापूर्ण ताक़तों के द्वारा तितर-बितर नहीं किया जाएगा। अपने नए कार्य में, वह एक सर्वदा विजयी राजा है, और किन्हीं भी शत्रुतापूर्ण ताक़तों और मनुष्यजाति में से सभी विधर्मों और भ्रांतियों को उसकी चरण-पीठ के नीचे कुचल दिया जाता है। इस बात से कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता है कि वह अपने कार्य के किस नए स्तर पर काम कर रहा है, इसे मनुष्यजाति के बीच विकसित और विस्तारित अवश्य होना चाहिए, इसे संपूर्ण विश्व में तब तक अबाधित रूप से अवश्य कार्यान्वित किया जाना चाहिए जब तक कि उसका महान कार्य पूर्ण नहीं हो जाता है। यह परमेश्वर की सर्वशक्तिमत्ता और बुद्धि, और उसका अधिकार और उसकी सामर्थ्य है। इस प्रकार, प्रभु यीशु मसीह खुलकर बाहर जा सकता था और सब्त के दिन कार्य कर सकता था क्योंकि उसके हृदय में कोई नियम नहीं थे, और वहाँ मनुष्यजाति से उत्पन्न कोई ज्ञान और सिद्धांत नहीं था। उसके पास जो था वह परमेश्वर का नया कार्य और उसका मार्ग था, और उसका कार्य मनुष्यजाति को स्वतन्त्र करना था, उसे मुक्त करना था, उन्हें प्रकाश में बने रहने की अनुमति देना था, और उन्हें जीने की अनुमति देना था। और जो मूर्तियों या झूठे ईश्वरों की पूजा करते हैं वे, सभी प्रकार के नियमों और वर्जनाओं से नियंत्रित, हर दिन शैतान के बन्धनों में जीते हैं—आज एक चीज़ का निषेध होता है, कल किसी दूसरी चीज़ का निषेध होता है—उनके जीवन में कोई स्वतन्त्रता नहीं है। वे जंज़ीरों में जकड़े हुए कैदियों के समान हैं जिनके पास कोई खुशी नहीं है जिसके बारे में वे बात करें। “निषेध” क्या दर्शाता है? यह विवशता, बन्धनों, और दुष्टता को दर्शाता है। जैसे ही कोई व्यक्ति किसी मूर्ति की आराधना करता है तो वह एक झूठे ईश्वर की आराधना कर रहा होता है, वह एक दुष्ट आत्मा की आराधना कर रहा होता है। प्रतिबन्ध इसके साथ आता है। तुम यह या वह नहीं खा सकते हो, तुम आज बाहर नहीं जा सकते हो, तुम कल अपना चूल्हा नहीं जला सकते हो, तुम अगले दिन नए घर में नहीं जा सकते हो, विवाह तथा अन्तिम क्रिया के लिए, और यहाँ तक कि बच्चे को जन्म देने के लिए भी कुछ निश्चित दिनों को ही चुनना होगा। यह क्या कहलाता है? यही प्रतिबन्ध कहलाता है; यह मनुष्यजाति का बंधन है, और ये शैतान की जंज़ीरें हैं और दुष्ट आत्माएँ इन्हें नियन्त्रित कर रही हैं, और उनके हृदयों और शरीरों को अवरुद्ध कर रही हैं। क्या ये प्रतिबन्ध परमेश्वर के साथ विद्यमान रहते हैं? जब परमेश्वर की पवित्रता की बात करते हैं, तो तुम्हें सबसे पहले यह सोचना चाहिएः कि परमेश्वर के साथ कोई भी निषेध नहीं है। परमेश्वर के वचनों और कार्य में उसके सिद्धांत हैं, किन्तु कोई निषेध नहीं हैं, क्योंकि परमेश्वर स्वयं सत्य, मार्ग, और जीवन है।
आओ हम निम्नलिखित अंश को देखें: “पर मैं तुम से कहता हूँ कि यहाँ वह है जो मन्दिर से भी बड़ा है। यदि तुम इसका अर्थ जानते, ‘मैं दया से प्रसन्न होता हूँ, बलिदान से नहीं,’ तो तुम निर्दोष को दोषी न ठहराते। मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है” (मत्ती 12:6-8)। यहाँ “मन्दिर” किस का इशारा करता है? आसान शब्दों में कहें तो, “मन्दिर” एक शोभायमान, ऊँची इमारत का इशारा करता है, और व्यवस्था के युग में, मन्दिर परमेश्वर की आराधना हेतु याजकों के लिए एक स्थान था। जब प्रभु यीशु ने कहा, “कि यहाँ वह है जो मन्दिर से भी बड़ा है,” यहाँ “वह” किसकी ओर इशारा करता है? स्पष्ट रूप से “वह” प्रभु यीशु है जो देह में है, क्योंकि केवल वही मन्दिर से बड़ा था। उन वचनों ने लोगों से क्या कहा? उन्होंने लोगों को मन्दिर से बाहर आने के लिए कहा—परमेश्वर पहले ही बाहर आ चुका था और उसमें अब और कार्य नहीं कर रहा था, इसलिए लोगों को मन्दिर के बाहर परमेश्वर के पदचिह्नों को ढूँढ़ना चाहिए और उसके नए कार्य में उसके कदमों का अनुसरण करना चाहिए। प्रभु यीशु मसीह के इस कथन की पृष्ठभूमि यह थी कि व्यवस्था के अधीन, लोग किसी ऐसी चीज़ के रूप में मन्दिर को देखने के लिए आए थे जो स्वयं परमेश्वर से भी बड़ा था। अर्थात्, लोग परमेश्वर की आराधना करने के बजाए मन्दिर की आराधना करते थे, इसलिए प्रभु यीशु मसीह ने उन्हें सावधान किया कि वे मूर्तियों की आराधना न करें, बल्कि परमेश्वर की आराधना करें क्योंकि वह सर्वोच्च है। इसलिए उसने कहाः “मैं दया से प्रसन्न होता हूँ, बलिदान से नहीं।” यह स्पष्ट है कि प्रभु यीशु की नज़रों में, व्यवस्था के अधीन अधिकांश लोग यहोवा की अब और आराधना नही करते थे, बल्कि मात्र बलिदान की प्रक्रिया से होकर जाते थे, और प्रभु यीशु ने निर्धारित किया था कि यह प्रक्रिया मूर्ति पूजा है। इन मूर्ति पूजकों ने मन्दिर को परमेश्वर से अधिक महान और उच्चतर रूप में देखा था। उनके हृदयों में केवल मन्दिर था, न कि परमेश्वर, और यदि वे मन्दिर को खो देते हैं, तो वे अपने निवास स्थान को भी खो देते हैं। मन्दिर के बिना उनके पास आराधना के लिए कोई जगह नहीं थी और वे बलिदानों को कार्यान्वित नहीं कर सकते थे। उनका तथाकथित निवास स्थान वहाँ है जहाँ से वे यहोवा परमेश्वर की आराधना के झण्डे तले संचालन करते थे, जहाँ उन्हें मन्दिर के टिके रहने और अपने स्वयं के क्रियाकलापों को करने की अनुमति दी जाती थी। उनके तथाकथित बलिदानों को चढ़ाना मन्दिर में उनकी सेवा आयोजित करने के बहाने बस उनके स्वयं के व्यक्तिगत शर्मनाक व्यवहारों को कार्यान्वित करने के लिए था। यही वह कारण था कि उस समय लोग मन्दिर को परमेश्वर से भी बड़ा देखते थे। क्योंकि वे मन्दिर को एक आड़ के रूप में, और बलिदानों को लोगों को धोखा देने और परमेश्वर को धोखो देने के लिए एक बहाने के रूप में उपयोग करते थे, इसलिए प्रभु यीशु ने लोगों को चेतावनी देने के लिए ऐसा कहा था। …
आगे, आओ हम पवित्रशास्त्र के इस अंश के इस अन्तिम वाक्य पर एक नज़र डालें: “मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है।” क्या इस वाक्य का कोई व्यावहारिक पक्ष है? क्या तुम लोग इसके व्यावहारिक पक्ष को देख सकते हो? हर एक बात जो परमेश्वर कहता है उसके हृदय से आती है, तो उसने ऐसा क्यों कहा? तुम लोग इसे कैसे समझते हो? हो सकता है तुम लोग इस वाक्य का अर्थ अब समझते हों, परन्तु उस समय बहुत से लोग नही समझते थे क्योंकि मनुष्यजाति बस उसी समय व्यवस्था के युग से बाहर निकली थी। उनके लिए, सब्त से बाहर निकलना एक कठिन बात थी, और सच्चा सब्त क्या होता है इसे समझने का तो ज़िक्र ही मत करो।
यह वाक्य “मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है” लोगों को बताता है कि परमेश्वर का सब कुछ अभौतिक है, और यद्यपि परमेश्वर तुम्हारी सारी भौतिक आवश्यकताओं को प्रदान कर सकता है, फिर भी जब एक बार तुम्हारी भौतिक आवश्यकताएँ पूरी कर दी जाती हैं, तो क्या इन चीज़ों से सन्तुष्टि तुम्हारी सत्य की खोज का स्थान ले सकती है? यह निःसन्देह संभव नहीं है! परमेश्वर का स्वभाव और उसका स्वरूप जिसके बारे में हमने संगति की है दोनों सत्य हैं। इसे भौतिक वस्तुओं की भारी कीमत के साथ भी नहीं तौला जा सकता है और न ही इसके मूल्य की पैसों में मात्रा निर्धारित की जा सकती है, क्योंकि यह कोई भौतिक वस्तु नहीं है, और यह हर एक व्यक्ति के हृदय की आवश्यकताओं की आपूर्ति करता है। प्रत्येक मनुष्य के लिए, इन अमूर्त सच्चाईयों का मूल्य ऐसी किसी भी भौतिक चीज़ से बढ़कर होना चाहिए जिसे तुम अच्छा समझते हो, ठीक है न? यह कथन कुछ ऐसा है जिस पर तुम लोगों को टिके रहने की आवश्यकता है। जो कुछ मैंने कहा है उसका मुख्य बिन्दु यह है कि परमेश्वर का स्वरूप और उसका सब कुछ हर एक व्यक्ति के लिए अति महत्वपूर्ण चीज़ें हैं और इन्हें किसी भौतिक पदार्थ के द्वारा बदला नहीं जा सकता है। मैं तुम्हें एक उदाहरण दूँगाः जब तुम्हें भूख लगती है, तो तुम्हें भोजन की आवश्यकता होती है। यह भोजन सापेक्ष रूप से अच्छा हो सकता है, या सापेक्ष रूप से कमी वाला हो सकता है, किन्तु जब तुम अपना पेट भर लेते हो, तो भूखे होने का वह अप्रिय एहसास अब और नहीं होगा—वह चला जाएगा। तुम वहाँ आराम से बैठ सकते हो, और तुम्हारा शरीर आराम में होगा। लोगों की भूख का भोजन से समाधान किया जा सकता है, किन्तु जब तुम परमेश्वर का अनुसरण करते हो, और तुम्हें यह एहसास होता है कि तुम्हें उसके बारे में कोई समझ नहीं है? तो तुम अपने हृदय के खालीपन का समाधान कैसे करोगे? क्या इसका समाधान भोजन से किया जा सकता है? या जब तुम परमेश्वर का अनुसरण कर रहे हो और उसकी इच्छा तुम्हारी समझ में नहीं आती है, तो तुम अपने हृदय की उस भूख को मिटाने के लिए किस चीज़ का उपयोग कर सकते हो? परमेश्वर के माध्यम से उद्धार के तुम्हारे अनुभव की प्रक्रिया में, अपने स्वभाव में किसी परिवर्तन की खोज करने के दौरान, यदि तुम उसकी इच्छा को नहीं समझते हो या यह नहीं जानते हो कि सत्य क्या है, और यदि तुम परमेश्वर के स्वभाव को नहीं समझते हो, तो क्या तुम बहुत व्याकुलता महसूस नहीं करते हो? क्या तुम अपने हृदय में एक बड़ी भूख और प्यास महसूस नहीं करते हो? क्या ये एहसास तुम्हें तुम्हारे हृदय में शांति महसूस करने से रोकते नहीं हैं? तो कैसे तुम अपने हृदय की उस भूख की क्षतिपूर्ति कर सकते हो—क्या इसका समाधान करने का कोई तरीका है? कुछ लोग खरीददारी करने के लिए बाज़ार चले जाते हैं, कुछ लोग भरोसा करने के लिए मित्रों को ढूँढ़ लेते हैं, कुछ लोग जी भरकर सोते हैं, अन्य लोग परमेश्वर के वचनों को और अधिक पढ़ते हैं, या अपने कर्तव्यों को निभाने के लिए कठिन मेहनत और अधिक प्रयास व्यय करते हैं। क्या ये चीज़े तुम्हारी वास्तविक कठिनाईयों का समाधान कर सकती हैं? तुम लोगों में से सभी इस प्रकार के अभ्यासों को पूर्णत: समझ लो। जब तुम निर्बलता महसूस करते हो, जब तुम परमेश्वर से प्रबुद्धता पाने की दृढ़ इच्छा महसूस करते हो ताकि वह तुम्हें उसकी सच्चाई और उसकी इच्छा की वास्तविकता को जानने की अनुमति दे सके, तो तुम्हें सबसे ज़्यादा किसकी आवश्यकता होती है? तुम्हें जिसकी आवश्यकता होती है वह भरपेट आहार नहीं है, और यह कुछ भले वचन नहीं हैं। उससे बढ़कर, यह देह का क्षणिक आराम और देह की सन्तुष्टि नहीं है—तुम्हें जिसकी आवश्यक है वह है कि परमेश्वर तुम्हें सीधे और स्पष्ट रूप से बताए कि तुम्हें क्या करना चाहिए और तुम्हें इसे कैसे करना करना चाहिए, और तुम्हें स्पष्ट रूप से बताए कि सत्य क्या है। तुम्हारे द्वारा इसे समझ लेने के बाद, भले ही यह थोड़ा सा ही क्यों ना हो, क्या तुम एक अच्छा भोजन कर लेने की तुलना में अपने हृदय में अधिक सन्तुष्टि महसूस नहीं करते हो? जब तुम्हारा हृदय सन्तुष्ट होता है, तो क्या तुम्हारा हृदय, तुम्हारा सम्पूर्ण व्यक्तित्व सच्ची शांति प्राप्त नहीं करता है? इस दृष्टान्त और विश्लेषण के द्वारा, क्या तुम लोगों को अब समझ में आया कि क्यों मैं तुम लोगों के साथ इस वाक्य को साझा करना चाहता था कि, “मनुष्य का पुत्र तो सब्त के दिन का भी प्रभु है”? इसका वह अर्थ है जो परमेश्वर से आता है, जो उसका स्वरूप है, और उसका सब कुछ किसी भी अन्य चीज़ से बढ़कर है, जिसमें वह चीज़ या वह व्यक्ति भी शामिल है जिस पर तुमने किसी समय विश्वास किया था और जिसे तुमने सबसे अधिक सँजोया था। अर्थात्, यदि मनुष्य परमेश्वर के मुँह के वचन प्राप्त नहीं कर सकते हैं या वे उसकी इच्छा को नहीं समझते हैं, तो वे शांति प्राप्त नहीं कर सकते हैं। अपने भविष्य के अनुभवों में, तुम लोग समझोगे कि मैं क्यों चाहता था कि आज तुम लोग इस अंश को देखो—यह बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। सब कुछ जो परमेश्वर करता है वह सत्य और जीवन है। मनुष्य-जाति के लिए सत्य कोई ऐसी चीज़ है जिसकी उनके जीवन में कमी नहीं हो सकती है, जिसके बिना वे कभी कुछ नहीं कर सकते हैं; तुम ऐसा भी कह सकते हो कि यह सबसे बड़ी चीज़ है। यद्यपि तुम उसे देख या उसे छू नहीं सकते हो, फिर भी तुम्हारे लिए उसके महत्व की उपेक्षा नहीं की जा सकती है; यही वह एकमात्र चीज़ है जो तुम्हारे हृदय में शांति ला सकती है।
