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?

My paying job! more and more of my time on flickr is spent matching flickr flukes with Allied Whale Catalog. I apologize for not being as connected to my flickr friends as before and I am not adding photos very often. But I still keep track of you all when I can.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Citizen science at its best thanks to flickr!!
Thanks to members of flickr who have joined the humpback whale flukes group and submitted their photos. I have been able to match 76 of the 479 photos submitted to the group with whales in the Allied Whale Catalog. Another 30 whales have gone through the catalog once and a second "fluke matcher" will have to take them through again to see if I missed a match.... if they don't find it either than it will become a new whale and be added to the catalog with their own name and #.
If you would like to know more please go to the discussion in Humpback fluke group

Fountain Paint Pot trail, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
Map (link):
[ www.google.co.in/imgres?imgurl=https://4.bp.blogspot.com/... and Spasm Geysers, Fountain Paint Pot trail, Yellowstone National Park images&ved=0ahUKEwjkgubQv8XeAhUC3Y8KHaFRCQ8QMwhNKBowGg&iact=mrc&uact=8 ]
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.
Hot and sunny Wednesday greetings, my collector friends! I am grateful to Sara for filling in for me as of late, but I must confess that I am especially jealous that she got to write about our own Ms. Mount and her delightful Ideal Bookshelf. As I said to Jane yesterday: it's like she read my mind! I love every single one of those books, and it seems I'm not alone. Their utter ideal-ness seemed to roust many of you from your lazy summer slumber... the $20 prints were gone in a flash!
Today's photography editions from the talented and sweet-as-pie Taj Forer are also quite fetching. After a lovely chat with the photographer himself about To live with you alone, Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee and Boots and raincoats, San Diego, California, I am that much more enchanted.
We had quite a lot to talk about, it turns out! We started with Taj's Threefold Sun series, inspired by Waldorf school founder and biodynamic farmer, Rudolf Steiner and went on (and on!) from there. I'm only including a snippet below, so if you just can't get enough, look for the full transcript on the 20x200 blog.
Jen: Hi there. Love your editions so! I am excited!
Taj: Oh, shucks. Thanks for doing this. I'm very psyched myself.
Jen: Sure thing, I am sorry that we didn't connect sooner. But what's funny is that this weekend I was at the Hawthorne Valley Farm store. So I've had Steiner on my mind.
Taj: No way! That place is amazing.
Jen: And I also got to drink raw milk. For the first time ever. And it is delicioso. Buttery.
Taj: So tasty. Amazing! Amazing that that's the ONLY way milk used to be consumed and now it's the rare exception...
...
Jen: It's super regulated although I can't tell if it's because of real danger or powerful Dairy Industry lobbyists. So, can you tell me how you connected with Steiner?
Taj: oh, I would imagine it's all lobbyist pressure.
But, to answer your question re: how I connected with Steiner—I attended a Waldorf school when I was a child, K-8 grade... It was a school located in an old farmhouse and surrounded by fields, forests and streams. Just gorgeous. As I got older and began the process of exploring my own life (rather than the lives of others) through photography, I turned my attention to the landscape of the Waldorf school that I attended as a child.
...
It's interesting, Steiner's biodynamic agricultural method came out of many of his followers begging him to address the negative effects that farmers in Europe were beginning to notice as a direct result of the beginning of industrialized farming. Something affecting everyone... Steiner was a devout Christian and often times I felt that his religious beliefs got in the way of more tangible forms of communicating his ideas. Having said this, he was a very open-minded person who borrowed from all of the major faith traditions when formulating various aspects of his philosophy.
...
Jen: I said connectedness and community is what I get from [your images], and you know, I've been looking at the work since the book came out.
Taj: I like that that's what you get from the pictures. ...
Jen: I love Boots and raincoats so much because on a surface level it's just delicious eye-candy.
Taj: It's an old public school that the city of San Diego no longer wanted to use so it rents to the Waldorf school for a good price.
Jen: but also it has such a wonderful cozy warmth about it, and a nostalgia.
Taj: I find that so lovely and metaphorical...
Jen: I mean it has a soundtrack in my mind, when I look at it.
Taj: Thanks. That image seems to resonate with many.
Jen: That is actually super interesting/great to know. And then of course the chalkboard poem—which is ever more charming b/c of its small errors.
Taj: Yes, the flaws MAKE that image for me. Tell me about the soundtrack!
Jen: Well, the soundtrack is that distinctive din of kids in a school yard, and oddly the ocean, for some reason, in the background.
Taj: So representative of the whole movement: beautiful, well-intentioned but, like anything worth a damn, also flawed. Like people!
...
Jen: It's comfortable and nostalgic, even though it's not something I ever experienced. I mean I think my teacher was kind like that, in pre-school, but I grew up in Queens NYC! heh. OK. This is super fun, I actually love talking to the artist about an image and finding out that the little stories I make up make sense. Sometimes they make no sense at all, which is fine too. But I can't lie, I enjoy being right. ;)
Taj: Nice. I always enjoy talking about the work as it often leads to new discoveries/ways of thinking about my own images and process.
Jen: Well, we can always talk more, right now I am going to write an intro... Yea we're a little late, so I gotta hustle like mad.

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।

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!

Plot Contains Spoilers:
In Klingon space, three Klingon battle cruisers encounter a huge cloud-like anomaly. On the bridge of one of the ships, the captain (Mark Lenard) orders his crew to fire torpedoes at it, but they have no effect. The ships take evasive action.
Meanwhile, in Federation space, a monitoring station, Epsilon 9, picks up a distress signal from one of the Klingon ships. As the three ships are attempting to escape the cloud, energy beams shoot out and engulf each ship one by one, and they vanish. On Epsilon 9, the crew tracks the course of the cloud and discovers that it is headed for Earth.
On Vulcan, Spock (Leonard Nimoy) has been undergoing the kohlinahr ritual, in which he has been learning how to purge all of his emotions, and is nearly finished with his training. A female Vulcan Master (Edna Glover), surrounded by two men, is about to give him an ornate necklace as a symbol of pure logic, when Spock holds out his hand to stop her. Confused, she mind-melds with him and senses a consciousness calling to him from space that is affecting his human side. She drops the necklace. "You have not yet achieved kohlinahr. You must look elsewhere for your answer," she says as they leave Spock. "You will not find it here."
In San Francisco, Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) arrives at Starfleet Headquarters in a shuttlecraft. He sees Commander Sonak (Jon Rashad Kamal), a Vulcan science officer who is joining the Enterprise crew and recommended for the position by Kirk himself. Kirk is bothered as to why Sonak is not on board yet. Sonak explains that Captain Willard Decker (Stephen Collins), the new captain of the Enterprise, wanted him to complete his science briefing at Headquarters before they left on their mission. The Enterprise has been undergoing a complete "refitting" for the past 18 months and is now under final preparations to leave, which would take at least 20 hours, but Kirk informs him that they only have 12. He tells Sonak to report to him on the Enterprise in one hour; he has a short meeting with Admiral Nogura and is intent on being on the ship.
Kirk transports to an office complex orbiting Earth and meets Montgomery Scott (James Doohan), the Enterprise's chief engineer. Scotty expresses his concern about the tight departure time. The cloud is less than three days away from Earth, and the Enterprise has been ordered to intercept it because they are the only ship in range. Scotty says that the refit can't be finished in 12 hours, and tries to convince him that the ship needs more work done as well as a shakedown cruise. Kirk insists that they are leaving, ready or not. They board a travel pod and begin the journey over to the drydock in orbit that houses the Enterprise.
Scotty tells Kirk that the crew hasn't had enough transition time with all the new equipment and that the engines haven't even been tested at warp power, not to mention that they have an untried captain. Kirk tells Scotty that two and a half years as Chief of Starfleet Operations may have made him a little stale, but that he wouldn't exactly consider himself untried. Kirk then tells a surprised Scotty that Starfleet gave him back his command of the Enterprise. Scotty doubts it, saying that he doesn't think it was that easy with Admiral Nogura, who gave Kirk his orders. They arrive at the Enterprise, and Scotty indulges Kirk with a brief tour of the new exterior of the ship.
Upon docking with the ship, Scotty is summoned to Engineering. Kirk goes up to the bridge, and is informed by Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) that Starfleet has just transferred command from Captain Decker over to him. Kirk finds Decker in engineering, whom is visibly upset when Kirk breaks the news that he is assuming command, but recognizes it is because Kirk has more experience. Decker will remain on the ship as 2nd officer. As Decker storms off, an alarm sounds. Someone is trying to beam over to the ship, but the transporter is malfunctioning. Kirk and Scotty race to the transporter room. Transporter operator Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) is frantically trying to tell Starfleet to abort the transport, but it is too late. Commander Sonak and an unknown female officer are beaming in, but their bodies aren't re-forming properly in the beam. The female officer screams, and then their bodies disappear. Starfleet signals to them that they have died. Kirk tells Starfleet to express his sympathies to their families.
In the corridor, Kirk sees Decker and tells him they will have to replace Commander Sonak and wants another Vulcan. Decker tells him that no one is available that is familiar with the ship's new design. Kirk tells Decker he will have to double his duties as science officer as well.
In the recreation room, as Kirk briefs the assembled crew on the mission, they receive a transmission from Epsilon 9. Commander Branch (David Gautreaux) tells them they have analyzed the mysterious cloud. It generates an immense amount of energy and measures 2 A.U.s (300 million km) in diameter. There is also a vessel of some kind in the center. They've tried to communicate with it and have performed scans, but the cloud reflects them back. It seems to think of the scans as hostile and attacks them. Like the Klingon ships earlier, Epsilon 9 disappears.
Later on the bridge, Uhura informs Kirk that the transporter is working now. Lt. Ilia, (Persis Khambatta), a bald being from the planet Delta IV, arrives. Decker is happy to see her, as they developed a romantic relationship when he was assigned to her planet several years earlier. Ilia is curious about Decker's reduction in rank and Kirk interrupts and tells her about Decker being the executive and science officer. Decker tells her, with slight sarcasm, that Kirk has the utmost confidence in him. Ilia tells Kirk that her oath of celibacy is on record and asks permission to assume her duties. Uhura tells Kirk that one of the last few crew members to arrive is refusing to beam up. Kirk goes to the transporter room to ensure that "he" beams up.
Kirk tells Starfleet to beam the officer aboard. Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley) materializes on the platform. McCoy is angry that his Starfleet commission was reactivated and that it was Kirk's idea for him to be brought along on the mission. His attitude changes, however, when Kirk says he desperately needs him. McCoy leaves to check out the new sickbay.
The crew finishes its repairs and the Enterprise leaves drydock and into the solar system. Dr. McCoy comes up to the bridge and complains that the new sickbay is nothing but a computer center. Kirk is anxious to intercept the cloud intruder, and orders Hikaru Sulu (George Takei) to go to warp speed. Suddenly, the ship enters a wormhole, which was created by an engine imbalance, and is about to collide with an asteroid that has been pulled inside. Kirk orders the phasers to be fired on it, but Decker tells Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) to fire photon torpedoes instead. The asteroid and the wormhole are destroyed. Annoyed, Kirk wants to meet with Decker in his quarters. Dr. McCoy decides to go along.
Kirk demands an explanation from Decker. Decker pointed out that the redesigned Enterprise channeled the phasers through the main engines and because they were imbalanced, the phasers were cut off. Kirk acknowledged that he had saved the ship; however, he accuses Decker of competing with him. Decker tells Kirk that, because of his unfamiliarity with the ship's new design, the mission is in jeopardy. Decker tells Kirk that he will gladly help Kirk understand the new design. Kirk then dismisses him from the room. In the corridor, Decker runs into Ilia. Ilia asked if the confrontation was difficult, and he tells her that it was about as difficult as seeing her again, and apologizes. She asked if he was sorry for leaving Delta IV, or for not saying goodbye. He said that if he had seen her again, would she be able to say goodbye? She says "no," and walked around him and entered her quarters nearby.
Back in Kirk's quarters, McCoy accuses Kirk of being the one who was competing, and the fact that it was Kirk who used the emergency to pressure Starfleet into letting him get command of the Enterprise. McCoy thinks that Kirk is obsessed with keeping his command. On Kirk's console viewscreen, Uhura informs Kirk that a shuttlecraft is approaching and that the occupant wishes to dock. Chekov also pipes in and replies that it appears to be a courier vessel. Kirk tells Chekov to handle the situation.
The shuttle approaches the Enterprise from behind, and the top portion of it detaches and docks at an airlock behind the bridge. Chekov is waiting by the airlock doors and is surprised to see Spock come aboard. Moments later, Spock arrives on the bridge, and everyone is shocked and pleased to see him, yet Spock ignores them. He moves over to the science station and tells Kirk that he is aware of the crisis and knows about the ship's engine design difficulties. He offers to step in as the science officer. McCoy and Dr. Christine Chapel (Majel Barret Roddenberry) come to the bridge to greet Spock, but Spock just stares alarmingly at their emotional outburst. Spock leaves to discuss fuel equations with Scotty in engineering.
With Spock's assistance, the engines are now rebalanced for full warp capacity. The ship successfully goes to warp to intercept the cloud. In the officers lounge, Spock meets with Kirk and McCoy. They discuss Spock's kohlinahr training on Vulcan, and how Spock broke off from his training to join them. Spock describes how he sensed the consciousness of the intruder, from a source more powerful that he has ever encountered, with perfect, logical thought patterns. He believes that it holds the answers he seeks. Uhura tells Kirk over the intercom that they have visual contact with the intruder.
The cloud scans the ship, but Kirk orders no return scans. Spock determines that the scans are coming from the center of the cloud. Uhura tries sending "linguacode" messages, but there is no response. Decker suggests raising the shields for protection, but Kirk determines that that might be considered hostile to the cloud. Spock analyzes the clouds composition, and discovers it has a 12-power energy field, the equivalent of power generated by thousands of starships.
Sitting at the science station, Spock awakens from a brief trance. He reveals to Kirk that the alien was communicating with him. The alien is puzzled; it contacted the Enterprise--why has the Enterprise not replied? A red alert sounds, and an energy beam from within the cloud touches the ship, and begins to overload the ship's systems. Bolts of lightning surround the warp core and nearly injure some engineering officers, and Chekov is also hurt--his hand is burned while sitting at the weapons station on the bridge. The energy beam then disappears. A medical team is summoned to the bridge, and Ilia is able to use her telepathic powers to soothe Chekov's pain.
Spock confirms to Kirk that the alien has been attempting to communicate. It communicates at a frequency of more than one million megahertz, and at such a high rate of speed, the message only lasts a millisecond. Spock programs to computer to send linguacode messages at that frequency. Another energy beam is sent out, but Spock transmits a message just in time, and the beam disappears. The ship continues on course through the cloud. They pass through many expansive and colorful cloud layers and upon clearing these, a giant vessel is revealed. It is roughly cylindrical in shape, with large spikes jutting out from the surface at equidistant angles between each other, forming a hexagon-like shape.
Kirk tells Uhura to transmit an image of the alien to Starfleet, but she explains that any transmission sent out of the cloud is being reflected back to them. Kirk orders Sulu to fly above and along the top of the vessel. The Enterprise is so small compared to the size of the alien vessel that it appears only as a little white dot next to it. The ship travels past many oddly-shaped structures, including a sunken area where the energy beams originate.
An alarm sounds, and yet another energy bolt approaches the ship. It appears on the bridge as a column of bright light that emits a very loud noise. The crew struggles to shield their eyes from its brilliant glow. Chekov asks Spock if it is one of the alien's crew, and Spock replies that it is a probe sent from the vessel. The probe slowly moves around the room and stops in front of the science station. Bolts of lightning shoot out from it and surround the console--it is trying to access the ship's computer. Spock manages to smash the controls to prevent further access, and the probe gives him an electric shock that sends him rolling onto the floor. The probe approaches the helm/navigation console and it scans Lt. Ilia. Suddenly, she vanishes, along with the probe.
Ahead of the ship looms another giant section of the vessel. A tractor beam is drawing the Enterprise toward an opening aperture. Decker calls for Chief DiFalco (Marcy Lafferty) to come up to the bridge as Ilia's replacement. The ship travels deep into the next chamber. Decker wonders why they were brought inside--they could have been easily destroyed outside. Spock deduces that the alien is curious about them. Uhura's monitor shows that the aperture is closing; they are trapped. The ship is released from the tractor beam and suddenly, an intruder alert goes off. Someone has come aboard the ship and is in the crew quarters section.
Kirk and Spock arrive inside a crewman's quarters to discover that the intruder is inside the sonic shower. It is revealed to be Ilia, although it isn't really her--there is a small red device attached to her neck. In a mechanized voice, she replies "You are the Kirk unit--you will listen to me." She explains that she has been programmed by an entity called "V'Ger" to observe and record the normal functions of the carbon-based units (humans) "infesting" the Enterprise. Kirk opens the shower door and "Ilia" steps out, wearing a small white garment that just materialized around her. Dr. McCoy and a security officer enter the room, and Kirk tells McCoy to scan her with a tricorder.
Kirk asks her who V'Ger is. She replies "V'Ger is that which programmed me." McCoy tells Kirk that Ilia is a mechanism and Spock confirms she is a probe that assumed Ilia's physical form. Kirk asks where the real Ilia is, and the probe states that "that unit" no longer functions. Kirk also asks why V'Ger is traveling to Earth, and the probe answers that it wishes to find the Creator, join with him, and become one with it. Spock suggests that McCoy perform a complete examination of the probe.
In sickbay, the Ilia probe lays on a diagnostic table, its sensors slowly taking readings. All normal body functions, down to the microscopic level, are exactly duplicated by the probe. Decker arrives and is stunned to see her there. She looks up at him and addresses him as "Decker", rather than "Decker unit," which intrigues Spock. Spock talks with Kirk and Decker in an adjoining room, and Spock locks the door. Spock theorizes that the real Ilia's memories and feelings have been duplicated by the probe as well as her body. Decker is angry that the probe killed Ilia, but Kirk convinces him that their only contact with the vessel is through the probe, and they need to use that advantage to find out more about the alien. Suddenly, the probe bursts through the door, and demands that Kirk assist her with her observations. He tells her that Decker will do it with more efficiency.
Decker and Ilia are seen walking around in the recreation room. He shows her pictures of previous ships that were named Enterprise. Decker has been trying to see if Ilia's memories or emotions can resurface, but to no avail. Kirk and McCoy are observing them covertly on a monitor from his quarters. Decker shows her a game that the crew enjoys playing. She is not interested and states that recreation and enjoyment has no meaning to her programming. At another game, which Ilia enjoyed and nearly always won, they both press one of their hands down onto a table to play it. The table lights up, indicating she won the game, and she gazes into Deckers eyes. This moment of emotion ends suddenly, and she returns to normal. "This device serves no purpose."
"Why does the Enterprise require the presence of carbon units?" she asks. Decker tells her the ship couldn't function without them. She tells him that more information is needed before the crew can be patterned for data storage. Horrified, he asks her what this means. "When my examination is complete, all carbon units will be reduced to data patterns." He tells her that within her are the memory patterns of a certain carbon unit. He convinces her to let him help her revive those patterns so that she can understand their functions better. She allows him to proceed.
Spock slowly enters an airlock room. He sees an officer standing at a console, his back to Spock. Spock quietly approaches him, and gives him the Vulcan nerve pinch to render him unconscious.
Decker, the probe, Dr. McCoy, and Dr. Chapel are in Ilia's quarters. Dr. Chapel gives the probe a decorative headband that Ilia used to wear. Chapel puts it over "Ilia's" head and turns her toward a mirror. Decker asks her if she remembers wearing it on Delta IV. The probe shows another moment of emotion, saying Dr. Chapel's name, and putting her hand on Decker's face, calling him Will. Behind them, McCoy reminds Decker that she is a mechanism. Decker asks "Ilia" to help them make contact with V'Ger. She says that she can't, and Decker asks her who the Creator is. She says V'Ger does not know. The probe becomes emotionless again and removes the headband.
Spock is now outside the ship in a space suit with an attached thruster pack. He begins recording a log entry for Kirk detailing his attempt to contact the alien. He activates a panel on the suit and calculates thruster ignition and acceleration to coincide with the opening of an aperture ahead of him. He hopes to get a better view of the spacecraft interior.
Kirk comes up to the bridge and Uhura tells him that Starfleet signals are growing stronger, indicating they are very close to Earth. Starfleet is monitoring the intruder and notifies Uhura that it is slowing down in its approach. Sulu confirms this and says that lunar beacons show the intruder is entering into orbit. Chekov tells Kirk that Airlock 4 has been opened and a thruster suit is missing. Kirk figures out that Spock has done it, and orders Chekov to get Spock back on the ship. He changes his mind, and instead tells him to determine his position.
Spock touches a button on his thruster panel and his thruster engine ignites. He is propelled forward rapidly, and enters the next chamber of the vessel just before the aperture closes behind him. The thruster engine shuts down, and the momentum carries Spock ahead further. He disconnects the thruster pack from his suit and it falls away from him.
Continuing his log entry, Spock sees an image of what he believes to be V'Gers home planet. He passes through a tunnel filled with crackling plasma energy, possibly a power source for a gigantic imaging system. Next, he sees several more images of planets, moons, stars, and galaxies stored and recorded. Spock theorizes that this may be a visual representation of V'Gers entire journey. "But who or what are we dealing with?" he ponders.
He sees the Epsilon 9 station, and notes to Kirk that he is convinced that all of what he is seeing is V'Ger; and that they are inside a living machine. Then he sees a giant image of Lt. Ilia with the sensor on her neck. Spock decides it must have some special meaning, so he attempts to mind-meld with it. He is quickly overwhelmed by the multitude of images flooding his mind, and is thrown backward.
Kirk is now in a space suit and has exited the ship. The aperture in front of the Enterprise opens, and Spock's unconscious body floats toward him. Later, Dr. Chapel and Dr. McCoy are examining Spock in sickbay. Dr. McCoy performs scans and determines that Spock endured massive neurological trauma from the mind-meld. Spock tells Kirk he should have known and Kirk asks if he was right about V'Ger. Spock calls it a conscious, living entity. Kirk explains that V'Ger considers the Enterprise a living machine and it's why "Ilia" refers to the ship as an entity and the crew as an infestation.
Spock describes V'Ger's homeworld as a planet populated by living machines with unbelievable technology. But with all that logic and knowledge, V'Ger is barren, with no mystery or meaning. He momentarily lapses into sleep but Kirk rouses him awake to ask what Spock should have known. Spock grasps Kirk's hand and tells him "This simple feeling is beyond V'Ger's comprehension. No meaning, no hope. And Jim, no answers. It's asking questions. 'Is this all that I am? Is there nothing more?'"
Uhura chimes in and tells Kirk that they are getting a faint signal from Starfleet. The intruder has been on their monitors for a while and the cloud is rapidly dissipating as it approaches. Sulu also comments that the intruder has slowed to sub-warp speed and is three minutes from Earth orbit. Kirk acknowledges and he, McCoy and Spock go up to the bridge.
Starfleet sends the Enterprise a tactical report on the intruders position. Uhura tells Kirk that V'Ger is transmitting a signal. Decker and "Ilia" come up to the bridge, and she says that V'Ger is signaling the Creator. Spock determines that the transmission is a radio signal. Decker tells Kirk that V'Ger expects an answer, but Kirk doesn't know the question. Then "Ilia" says that the Creator has not responded. An energy bolt is released from V'Ger and positions itself above Earth. Chekov reports that all planetary defense systems have just gone inoperative. Several more bolts are released, and they all split apart to form smaller ones and they assume equidistant positions around the planet.
McCoy notices that the bolts are the same ones that hit the ship earlier, and Spock says that these are hundreds of times more powerful, and from those positions, they can destroy all life on Earth. "Why?" Kirk asks "Ilia." She says that the carbon unit infestation will be removed from the Creator's planet as they are interfering with the Creator's ability to respond and accuses the crew of infesting the Enterprise and interfering in the same manner. Kirk tells "Ilia" that carbon units are a natural function of the Creator's planet and they are living things, not infestations. However "Ilia" says they are not true life forms like the Creator. McCoy realizes V'Ger must think its creator is a machine.
Spock compares V'Ger to a child, and suggests they treat it like one. McCoy retorts that this child is about to wipe out every living thing on Earth. To get "Ilia's" attention, Kirk says that the carbon units know why the Creator hasn't responded. The Ilia probe demands that the Creator "disclose the information." Kirk won't do it until V'Ger withdraws all the orbiting devices. In response to this, V'Ger cuts off the ship's communications with Starfleet. She tells him again to disclose the information. He refuses, and a plasma energy attack shakes the ship. McCoy tells Spock that the child is having a "tantrum."
Kirk tells the probe that if V'Ger destroys the Enterprise, then the information it needs will also be destroyed. Ilia says that it is illogical to withhold the required information, and asks him why he won't disclose it. Kirk explains it is because V'Ger is going to destroy all life on Earth. "Ilia" says that they have oppressed the Creator, and Kirk makes it clear he will not disclose anything. V'Ger needs the information, says "Ilia." Kirk says that V'Ger will have to withdraw all the orbiting devices. "Ilia" says that V'Ger will comply, if the carbon units give the information.
Spock tells Kirk that V'Ger must have a central brain complex. Kirk theorizes that the orbiting devices are controlled from there. Kirk tells "Ilia" that the information cant be disclosed to V'Ger's probe, but only to V'Ger itself. "Ilia" stares at the viewscreen, and, in response, the aperture opens and drags the ship forward with a tractor beam into the next chamber. Chekov tells Kirk that the energy bolts will reach their final positions and activate in 27 minutes. Kirk calls to Scotty on the intercom and tells him to stand by to execute Starfleet Order 2005; the self-destruct command. A female crewmember asks Scotty why Kirk ordered self-destruct, and Scotty tells her that Kirk hopes that when they explode, so will the intruder.
The countdown is now down to 18 minutes. DiFalco reports that they have traveled 17 kilometers inside the vessel. Kirk goes over to Spock's station, and sees that Spock has been crying. "Not for us," Kirk realizes. Spock tells him he is crying for V'Ger, and that he weeps for V'Ger as he would for a brother. As he was when he came aboard the Enterprise, so is V'Ger now--empty, incomplete, and searching. Logic and knowledge are not enough. McCoy realizes Spock has found what he needed, but that V'Ger hasn't. Decker wonders what V'Ger would need to fulfill itself.
Spock comments that each one of us, at some point in our lives asks, "Why am I here?" "What was I meant to be?" V'Ger hopes to touch its Creator and find those answers. DiFalco directs Kirk's attention to the viewscreen. Ahead of them is a structure with a bright light. Sulu reports that forward motion has stopped. Chekov replies that an oxygen/gravity envelope has formed outside of the ship. "Ilia" points to the structure on the screen and identifies it as V'Ger. Uhura has located the source of the radio signal and it is straight ahead. A passageway forms outside the ship as Kirk Spock, McCoy, Decker, and "Ilia" enter a turbolift.
The landing party exits an airlock on the top of the saucer section and walks up the passageway. At the end of the path is a concave structure, and in the center of it is an old NASA probe from three centuries earlier. Kirk tries to rub away the smudges on the nameplate and makes out the letters V G E R. He continues to rub, and discovers that the craft is actually Voyager 6. Kirk recalls the history of the Voyager program--it was designed to collect data and transmit it back to Earth. Decker tells Kirk that Voyager 6 disappeared through a black hole.
Kirk says that it must have emerged on the far side of the galaxy and got caught in the machine planet's gravity. Spock theorizes that the planet's inhabitants found the probe to be one of their own kind--primitive, yet kindred. They discovered the probe's 20th century programming, which was to collect data and return that information to its creator. The machines interpreted that instruction literally, and constructed the entire vessel so that Voyager could fulfill its programming. Kirk continues by saying that on its journey back, it amassed so much knowledge that it gained its own consciousness.
"Ilia" tells Kirk that V'Ger awaits the information. Kirk calls Uhura on his communicator and tells her to find information on the probe in the ship's computer, specifically the NASA code signal, which will allow the probe to transmit its data. Decker realizes that that is what the probe was signaling--it's ready to transmit everything. Kirk then says that there is no one on Earth who recognizes the old-style signal--the Creator does not answer.
Kirk calls out to V'Ger and says that they are the Creator. "Ilia" says that is not logical--carbon units are not true life forms. Kirk says they will prove it by allowing V'Ger to complete its programming. Uhura calls Kirk on his communicator and tells him she has retrieved the code. Kirk tells her to set the Enterprise transmitter to the code frequency and to transmit the signal. Decker reads off the numerical code on his tricorder, and is about to read the final sequence, but Voyager's circuitry burns out, an effort by V'Ger itself to prevent the last part of the code from being transmitted.
"Ilia" says that the Creator must join with V'Ger, and turns toward Decker. McCoy warns Kirk that they only have 10 minutes left. Decker figures out that V'Ger wanted to bring the Creator here and transmit the code in person. Spock tells Kirk that V'Ger's knowledge has reached the limits of the universe and it must evolve. Kirk says that V'Ger needs a human quality in order to evolve. Decker thinks that V'Ger joining with the Creator will accomplish that. He then goes over to the damaged circuitry and fixes the wires so he can manually enter the rest of the code through the ground test computer. Kirk tries to stop him, but "Ilia" tosses him aside. Decker tells Kirk that he wants this as much as Kirk wanted the Enterprise.
Suddenly, a bright light forms around Decker's body. "Ilia" moves over to him, and the light encompasses them both as they merge together. Their bodies disappear, and the light expands and begins to consume the area. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy retreat back to the Enterprise. V'Ger explodes, leaving the Enterprise above Earth, unharmed. On the bridge, Kirk wonders if they just saw the beginning of a new life form, and Spock says yes and that it is possibly the next step in their evolution. McCoy says that its been a while since he "delivered" a baby, and hopes that they got this one off to a good start.
Uhura tells Kirk that Starfleet is requesting the ship's damage and injury reports and vessel status. Kirk reports that there were only two casualties: Lt. Ilia and Captain Decker. He quickly corrects his statement and changes their status to "missing." Vessel status: fully operational. Scotty comes on the bridge and agrees with Kirk that it's time to give the Enterprise a proper shakedown. When Scotty offers to have Spock back on Vulcan in four days, Spock says that's unnecessary, as his task on Vulcan is completed.
Kirk tells Sulu to proceed ahead at warp factor one. When DiFalco asks for a heading, Kirk simply says "Out there, thataway." With that, the Enterprise flies overhead and engages warp drive.

Erstmals wird die Burg, das castrum twingia, 1078 erwähnt. Kaiser Heinrich IV. belagerte damals auf seinem Rückweg von Canossa vergeblich die Festung, die Graf Hugo von Tübingen hielt, ein Verbündeter des Gegenkönigs Herzog Rudolf.
Sie dürfte die Fläche des heutigen Schlosshofes eingenommen haben. Hier residierten die im 12. Jahrhundert zu Pfalzgrafen ernannten Grafen von Tübingen, bis sie aus Geldmangel Burg und Stadt 1301 an das Kloster Bebenhausen verpfänden und schließlich 1342 an die Grafen von Württemberg verkaufen mussten. Wenige Jahre nach dem Tod des Universitätsgründers Graf Eberhard im Bart 1496 begann sein Nachfolger Herzog Ulrich mit ersten Umbauten. Die eigentliche Umgestaltung zu einem Renaissanceschloß erfolgte jedoch erst in den Jahren 1534-1550 nach Ulrichs Rückkehr aus 15 Jahre währendem Exil. Entscheidende Ergänzung erfuhr die Anlage schließlich unter Herzog Friedrich I. in den Jahren 1604-1607 durch den Bau des unteren Schlosstores und der östlichen Bastionen. Schon 1188 ist die Johanneskapelle auf dem Burgberg erwähnt. Sie ist somit die älteste urkundlich bekannte Kirche Tübingens. Beim Neubau des Schlosses wurde sie in den Südflügel integriert. Seit 1815 untersteht sie der württembergischen Landeskirche. Noch heute üben hier die angehenden Tübinger evangelischen Theologen das Predigen. Besonders beeindruckend ist das holzgetäfelte Tonnengewölbe aus der Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts. Die Wandmalereien, die Gobelins vortäuschen, wurden im späten 19. Jahrhundert aufgebracht. Die Gemälde sind Werke des frühen 18. Jahrhunderts.
Die Kapelle ist nicht für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich.
Sie kann jedoch über die evangelische Landeskirche Stuttgart zu Hochzeiten etc. in Anspruch genommen werden.
Bilder vom Innern der Kapelle folgen.
_____________
attack this castle of Tübingen, but he failed
here:
1. Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor
The beginning of the conflict known as the Investiture Controversy can be assigned to Christmas night of 1075: Gregory was kidnapped and imprisoned by Cencio I Frangipane, a Roman noble, while officiating at Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Later freed by Roman people, Gregory accused Henry of having been behind the attempt.
In 1075 Gregory excommunicated some members of the Imperial Court, and threatened to do the same with Henry himself.
He stood in the snow outside the gates of the castle of Canossa for three days, from 25 January to 27 January 1077, begging the pope to rescind the sentence (popularly portrayed as without shoes, taking no food or shelter, and wearing a hairshirt - see Walk of Canossa). The Pope lifted the excommunication, imposing a vow to comply with certain conditions, which Henry soon violated.
On his return to Swabia he tried to attack this castle of Tübingen, but he failed here too.
1076 Investiturstreit – der Streit um die Einsetzung der Bischöfe in nicht nur ihre kirchlichen Ämter, sondern auch in die damit verbundenen Ämter der Reichsverwaltung –
Heinrich IV - seine Auseinandersetzung mit Papst Gregor VII. und sein Gang nach Canossa gelten als Höhepunkt des Investiturstreits. - wollte es nach dem Gang nach Canossa einnehmen, vergeblich.
Gregor VII. befürchtete das Anrücken eines kaiserlichen Heeres Heinrich des IV und wollte einer Begegnung mit Heinrich ausweichen, zog sich deshalb auf die gut befestigte Burg Canossa der Markgräfin Mathilde von Tuszien zurück.
--
1076 La pénitence de Canossa
Grégoire VII déclare Henri IV déchu et l'excommunie ; s'étant rebellé contre la souveraineté de l'Église, il ne peut plus être roi. Celui qui refuse ainsi l'obéissance au représentant de Dieu et fréquente d'autres excommuniés est de fait déchu de sa souveraineté. En conséquence, tous ses sujets sont déliés de l'allégeance qu'ils lui ont prêtée.

En échange de son pardon, il obtient le droit de venir en Germanie et l'assurance que le différend entre les princes et le roi serait soumis à son arbitrage
Sur son retour à Swabia il a essayé d'attaquer ce château de Tübingen, mais il a échoué ici aussi.

1901 Census. There is a 15 year old Frederick E, born Martham, Norfolk, whose relationship to the head of the household, John S Waddell, (aged 30 Grocer, Draper and Clothier Shop Keeper from Stirling, Scotland) is recorded as a Servant. However his occupation is given as Assistant Grocer and Draper. The household concerned is Bon Marche, Snape Road, Leiston, Suffolk – which sounds like the family and shop assistants were living on the premises. John Waddell has four children, the youngest of which is only one, all of whom were born Martham. He has three other live-in shop assistants, with one of them born Martham – sounds very much like he moved wholesale from a shop in Martham within the last 12 months.
As Frederick wasn’t living with his family, I went back to the 1891 census, when the 5 year old Frederick was living at White Street, Martham. This was the household of his parents, John, (aged 31 and a Prudential Assurance Agent from Southwark, Surrey) and Sarah, (aged 30 and from Upton, Norfolk). Their other children are:-
Jane…………..aged 7………….born Martham
Walter………..aged 4………….born Martham

1911 Census. There is a William Bracey born Martham circa 1898 who was recorded in the Flegg District that covers the village. He doesn’t appear to be on the 1901 census. Absent also is Albert and Henrietta. Henrietta is on the 1911 census in the Flegg district but there is still no Albert.
The Commonwealth section of the FAUBOURG D'AMIENS CEMETERY was begun in March 1916, behind the French military cemetery established earlier. It continued to be used by field ambulances and fighting units until November 1918. The cemetery was enlarged after the Armistice when graves were brought in from the battlefields and from two smaller cemeteries in the vicinity.
www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_details.aspx?cemetery=28800&...
The Battalion had sustained a number of casualties in an attack on the 29th/30th April and Private Bracey could have been one of those. They returned to the same sector of the front between the 4th to 8th May, with casualties every day - the Battle of Arras was winding down into a stalemate.
Extract from the Battalion War Diary for this last period.
4th May 1917 Monchy Wood.
News was received this morning that the attack made by the 36th + 37th Infantry Brigades had been unsuccessful. A slight advance had been made by the 36th Infantry Bde. At 9 pm tonight the 35th Infantry Bde relieved the 37th Infantry Bde with the 7:Norolk regt in the front line, 9:Essex Regt in support. 7:Suffolk Regt + 5:R.Berks Regt in reserve. The 7:Norfolk Regt relieved the Queens + Royal W. Kents in RIFLE TRENCH+MONCHY TRENCH with Battn HQ in MONCHY WOOD. Relief was complete by twelve midnight.
(Side note - On the way up to the front line, the Bn came under heavy shelling. 2nd Lieut C F W Nash was wounded, O.R’s 1 killed, 6 wounded).
5th May 1917 Monchy Wood 11pm
There has been no work done on the trenches since the 7:Norfolk Regt was relieved on April 30th and it is still dangerous to go to the front line from Bn HQ in daylight. Tonight large working parties of the Essex Regt, Pioneers and R.Es beside our own parties are working on new trenches and on the C.T to the Front Line. 2nd Lieut. H English was wounded by rifle fire while out supervising the digging of a new trench.
6th May 1917 Monchy Wood. 11pm.
The enemy shelled MONCHY TRENCH (Support Line) and the vicinity of Bn HQ during the day, knocking out a Vickers Gun crew and causing two casualties to ourselves - 1 killed + 1 wounded. Working is in progress tonight as last night and all trenches should be complete by daylight tomorrow.
7th May 1917 Monchy Wood. 11pm.
The enemy bombarded our Support Line and Bn HQ intensely + at short intervals throughout last night + this morning. Retaliation was obtained from our Field Guns + Heavies.
2nd Lieut K R POTTER, commanding “A” Coy, was wounded by shrapnel in the face during the afternoon.
At about 10 pm the 5’ Royal Berkshire Regt.began to relieve the 7’Norfolk Regt in the front line. Our relief companies moved off independently to the BROWN LINE.
8th May 1917 Brown Line 11pm.
About 1 am this morning, the enemy shelled the BROWN LINE. Major H L GIELGUD was wounded in the shoulder and later 3 men were killed and 12 others severely wounded. The remainder of the day has passed uneventfully. The batteries in rear of BROWN LINE were shelled at intervals but we have sustained no further casualties. We found a working party of 250 other ranks for work under OC 7’ Suffolk Regt at 9pm tonight.

15th September 1916 Battle of the Somme
The last great Allied effort to achieve a breakthrough came on 15 September in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette with the initial advance made by 11 British divisions (nine from Fourth Army, two Canadian divisions on the Reserve Army sector) and a later attack by four French corps.
The battle is chiefly remembered today as the debut of the tank. The British had high hopes that this secret weapon would break the deadlock of the trenches. Early tanks were not weapons of mobile warfare—with a top speed of 2 mph (3.2 km/h), they were easily outpaced by the infantry—but were designed for trench warfare. They were untroubled by barbed wire obstacles and impervious to rifle and machine gun fire, though highly vulnerable to artillery. Additionally, the tanks were notoriously unreliable; of the 49 tanks available on 15 September, only 32 made it to the start line, and of these, only 21 made it into action
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Flers-Courcelette
An intense preliminary bombardment began on 12 September and at 6.20am on Friday 15 September the advance began in mist and smoke. XIV Corps attack, on the extreme right, where hopes of breakthrough were pinned, fared badly; 56th Division and 6th Division lost heavily as tanks and artillery support failed to neutralise vital defensive positions

www.cwgc.org/search/cemetery_details.aspx?cemetery=3200&a...
From an article in the EDP in 2009
This prolonged carnage on the Somme, one of the lowest points of that war, has resurfaced as the result of a phone call to a former Gorlestonian from a Norfolk family that lost young men in the mud of France in 1916.
Mike King, now of Lowestoft, tells me: “In 1983 an old friend and long-time Gorleston neighbour, Henry Leonard (“Pop”) Gymer, died, aged 80. Later his daughter Lily rang to ask me to visit her at her home off Southtown Road so she could give me some items relating to her father, found in his loft, because she knew of my interest in local and family history.
“Those items made up a small archive of artefacts from the First World War, including: four medals and gold-printed scroll relating to Private John James Gymer, Imperial War Graves Commission book on Grove Town Cemetery in France, 20 postcards of wrecked villages in the Somme area, parcel wrapper sent home from France, and photographs of a large group of people on a railway station and of wooden crosses in a war cemetery.
“Lily explained that John James Gymer was Pop's older brother who was killed fighting on the Somme. The cemetery book's index included an adjacent entry that was also a Gymer, and Lily said these young Gymer men were cousins.”
Recently Mr King researched the Gymers, discovering that James John Gymer. born in 1896 in Martham, lived with his parents, Henry John and Georgiana, and younger siblings Lily and Henry junior in Anson Road, Southtown. On joining the Norfolk Regiment he was assigned to the 9th Battalion.
Also, his cousin, William Gymer, born 1897, lived with his parents, William and Laura Gymer, and siblings at Cess, Martham. He too joined the Norfolk Regiment as a private, assigned to the 1st Battalion. Henry John and William senior were brothers, sons of John and Sarah Gymer, of Martham. The Gymer family had been in the Damgate area of Martham for several generations.
Mr King mused: “Did James John and William junior know each other? It is possible, but by the 1901 census Henry and Georgiana had moved with their children to Anson Road, before James was four. Certainly they would have known of each other's existence. Maybe either family got on the M&GN Railway at Beach Station in Yarmouth, or Martham, to visit one another!”
He wonders if the Gymer cousins, who fought in that epic Battle of the Somme, were aware they were fighting in the same area? “Were they in touch with each other? We will never know.”
“William was the first casualty, killed outright in September, aged 19. James lasted nine more days before dying of wounds although it is possible he was wounded in action much earlier. By coincidence they are buried in adjacent rows in the Grove Town Cemetery.
“The bodies of the fallen were moved there in April 1917 and the cemetery was immediately closed. This cemetery contains the bodies of 1366 UK soldiers, 14 from Australia, one from New Zealand and one from France as well as 36 German prisoners.
“The two photographs are quite poignant and I imagine they were hung on a wall in the family home. About 1920, the Government paid for relatives to visit the graves of their loved ones and the first shows a group - mainly female (mothers and widows presumably), on platform one at Thorpe Station in Norwich - of relatives of Norfolk Regiment casualties.
“Many folk from the Yarmouth area were in this group but the only one I can identify is the lady on the extreme right with a white shawl, Georgiana Gymer. In all probability her sister-in-law Laura Gymer is near her. Those who remember Pop Gymer will see that he was the spitting image of his mother!
“The second photograph is of the grave itself, marked with a temporary wooden cross. Georgiana had put a wreath on the cross with the words 'From his dear mother…' Her umbrella and other personal items can be seen leaning against the cross. “
The name of James appears on the war memorial in St George's Park, Yarmouth, and that of William is on the war memorial in Martham churchyard.

The 19 year old John, born Martham and employed as an Agricultural Labourer is recorded on the 1901 census at Piggins Yard, Martham. This is the household of his widowed Grandmother, Mary Utting, (aged 74 and a Charwoman from Repps cum Bastwick). Also in the household is John’s brother, William, aged 17 and also an Agricultural Labourer from Martham. On the 1891 census, the 10 year old John is recorded at 2 Repps Road, Martham, the household of his parents Charles, (aged 43 and a General Labourer from Martham) and Elizabeth, (aged 40 and from Martham). As well as William and John, there is a Frederick, (13), Gertrude, (5), Edward (3) and Mildred, (2 months) – all born Martham.
To protect the British owned oil fields in Persia and to stop Turkish domination of the Middle East an Indian Expeditionary Force was sent to the Persian Gulf. As part of this Force the Norfolk Regiment left Belgaum for Bombay under the command of Lieu-Colonel E C Peebles and boarded HM Transport Elephanta on 6 November1914. The 2nd Norfolks arrived at Seniyeh in the Persian Gulf on 15 November 1914 and joined the 18th Brigade, which consisted of the 7th Rajput's, 110th Mahratta Light Infantry and 120th Rajputana Infantry.

After some initial, (but costly) victories , the Allied force were eventually forced to retreat, and out-manoeuvred, found themselves trapped inside the city of Kut. Most of the 2nd Battalion was caught inside the city walls, although a few were outside, and together with the remnants of another holed up battalion from the Dorset Regiment, formed a composite unit, the “Norsets”, which was involved in several attempts to lift the siege.
The Siege of Kut
During the siege of Kut which lasted for 5 months aircraft were first used to try and drop supplies to the garrison. The aircraft could not carry enough supplies some were shot down and the attempt ended in failure. The Turks used aircraft more successfully in bombing the town, many troops having been wounded were then killed in hospital by an air raid. Several attempts were made to break out across the river on floating bridges, but as the river was in flood at this time of the year the attempts failed. Radio contact with the outside world was kept up until the end.
Towards the end of the siege the daily ration for British troops was reduced to ten ounces of bread and one pound of horse or mule flesh. Indian troops who refused to eat flesh were dying of scurvy at the rate of 10 to 20 a day. In all 1746 people died during the siege from wounds or disease.
Kut falls
On 29 April 1916 Kut surrendered to the Turks. After agreeing terms, Townshend marched his troops out into captivity, and certain death for most of them. Most of the Arabs left in Kut were hanged by the Turks for helping the British.

On 22nd April the Norsets (part of the 21st Brigade) were in the marsh area trying to relief the Kut fortress. Heavy fighting took part in the early hours of the day. Of the 45 officers and 858 other ranks 22 OR's were killed, 146 wounded and 22 missing.
The attack was beaten back and the Norsets eventually retired when Kut was captured.

Private Hodds could therefore have died in the relief party who attacked on the 22nd, the day of his death or could have been part of the main Battalion holed up in Kut.
Hina Rabbani Khar www.thesaturdaypost.com/rv_37_hinakhar.html (Urdu: حنا ربانی کھر ) (born 1977) is a Pakistani member of parliament, affiliated with the PPP. She served as the State Minister for Economic Affairs and Statistics (without any real world experience or academic qualification) as National Assembly member of PML-Q in (2003-2007) & as an MNA and adviser to Prime Minister for PPP (2008 - Present). Q was heavily defeated in 2008 Elections due to economic mismanagement and shortage of food, water and energy. Q refused the ticket for re-election in 08 to Hina Khar. PPP resuced Hina Khar by offering her the ticket in 08. She is PPPs federal minister these days.
Hina Rabbani Khar is rich and famous privileged daughter of feudal politician Ghulam Noor Rabbani Khar who was ineligible for elections because he did not have a university degree www.verveonline.com/26/people/tehmina/tehmina.shtml) and niece of infamous playboy ( www.jazbah.org/bookmfl.php chief minister of Punjab Ghulam Mustafa Khar, who abandoned Bhutto and was exiled from Pakistan for a decade in 77 in a deal with General Zia, to avoid jail time. The Khar political lure comes from the family's land holdings: their sprawling estate includes fisheries, mango orchards and sugarcane fields manned by thousands of poor workers of Punjab. www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/18/pakistan
Khar received a B.Sc. from Lahore University of Management Sciences in 1999 and went on to earn a M.Sc. in hospitality trade and tourism from the University of Massachusetts in 2001. In 2008, she was named to the World Economic Forum's list of young global leaders.In 2008, Hina was elected as a member of National Assembly with a ticket from PPP from the constituency of Muzaffargarh, Punjab. She is adviser to Prime Minister of Pakistan on Economic and Financial affairs.
She owns an upscale ritzy restaurant Polo Lounge with expensive european menu www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_18-1-2004_pg... in Lahore. She Says: This is a place for people with discerning taste who can appreciate good quality food and (upscale) environment.Her dream is to become Prime Minister of Pakistan one day and possibly join PML(n) in next government. She regards Musharraf and Zardari as visionary leaders. www.pakistanileaders.com.pk/profilesdetail.php?id=257
And talking of failures, it was most interesting to see Hina Rabbani Khar vent her ire at the miserable performance of the previous Shaukat Aziz government. It is amazing how some of our politicians change their views and loyalties effortlessly in tune with changing times. It was not that long ago that the same Hina Rabbani Khar could be heard praising Shaukat Aziz and his economic genius to no end. Of course at the time, she was sitting on the PML-Q occupied treasury benches. Being a wily Khar after all, she smelled the change in the air and joined the PPP a few weeks prior to the general elections and she is, once again, looking pretty and sitting pretty as always on the treasury benches. On a second thought maybe her politics is constant: that of occupying a treasury bench. Period!
/print1.asp?id=118520
She says she loves diamonds, pearls, rubies, designer purses, expensive shades and fast expensive cars. She admits she knows nothing about real economics or finance but loves to give interviews about Pakistan Economy and pretend to be expert. or sit with global financial leaders and sign documents, she says my job is to charm western leadership by looking good. When asked what she likes about her job, after a long pause she replied, frequent free first class trips outside Pakistan, staying in luxury hotels, shopping and receiving expensive gifts.
Our feudal and their kins have always saluted the power and the rule, and their this flexibility has made them the masters of our wretched destinies.

JAN AND DEAN
Jan Berry and Arnie Ginsburg decided they had what it took to be a music act. How hard could it be? Seems Arnie had come up with a song based on a real person...a stripper named Jennie Lee, "The Bazoom Girl," charter member of the "League of Exotic Dancers." Arnie, 18 years old and sowing a few wild oats, had caught her act at an L.A. burlesque club. It was 1958; Jan was still in high school and missed out on Arnie's "adult" excursion. The guys got together in the garage at Jan's home in Westwood with an Ampex reel-to-reel recorder Jan's dad had gotten him and began harmonizing, doo wop style, while another friend, Donald Altfeld, supplied makeshift percussion (banging on sticks). A primitive, echo-drenched version of "Jennie Lee" was the result.
It didn't take much effort on the part of Jan and Arnie to get the song released on Arwin Records, owned by Doris Day's husband Marty Melcher. Joe Lubin, A&R man for the Hollywood-based label, heard the tape and felt strongly enough about its potential that he got together with the guys do a more polished version, but insisted on duplicating the sound he heard on the tape. An all night session with Lubin in Jan's garage produced a second take as well as "Gotta Getta Date," written on the fly by the three and recorded in the early morning hours for use as the single's B side. Back in the studio, Lubin hired the best session men in town (guitarist Rene Hall, saxophonist Plas Johnson, pianist Ernie Freeman and drummer Earl Palmer) and overdubbed the band for the finished product. It was an unconventional way to make a record...but not all that uncommon in the early rock and roll environment of the late '50s.
The song caught on, hit big (top ten in June '58), and Berry and Ginsburg found themselves appearing onstage doing rock shows with some of the hottest names of the era in a blur of bright lights and adoring female fans that began to affect Arnie in a stressful, emotional way. Not everyone, it seems, is cut out for instant stardom. Jan was fine with it. The follow-up, "Gas Money" (Altfeld shared writer credit with Berry and Ginsburg on this one), hit the charts less impressively while hinting at a car-and-hot-rod direction the act (or Jan at least) would explore more deeply in the future. The third Arwin single didn't sell and the duo appeared to be done, which was okay by Arnie, mentally and physically drained and ready to move into a less manic vocation. He quit to attend the University of Southern Cal, leaving Jan, wound up and ready for more, with the task of finding another singing partner.
An old football buddy, Dean Torrence, had just returned from six months' initial training with the U.S. Army Reserve and was game to take over where Ginsburg left off. The two had met at Emerson Junior High in Westwood several years earlier, playing on the school football team there and at University High School right up through graduation. Locker room harmonizing had become a regular routine with other school athletes joining in; roughhousing on the gridiron, singing in the showers. A school club called The Barons, counting Jan, Dean, future actor James Brolin and pounding-drum devotee Sandy Nelson among its members, did some impromptu singing as well. It was a no-brainer in 1959 for Jan and Dean to attempt to continue what Jan and Arnie had begun.
Budding record industry everyman Kim Fowley, another classmate of Jan, Arnie and Dean at University High, recommended the new duo to Lou Adler and Herb Alpert, producers at Los Angeles label Dore (upon meeting them, Adler said they had a "very California look" in contrast to the Philadelphia breed of teen idols saturating the biz at the time). For "Baby Talk" (penned by Melvin Schwartz), a recent release by Brooklyn doo wop group The Laurels, Jan and Dean put more emphasis on the song's nonsense baby syllables; their version hit the national top ten in September 1959. Several follow-up singles on Dore appeared on the charts in '59 and '60: Alpert and Adler's "There's a Girl," the oldtime standard "Clementine" (eclipsed by Bobby Darin's rendition, released at about the same time) and two older R&B hits-turned-teen-tunes, The Moonglows' "We Go Together" and The Crows' "Gee."
With a solid track record, Jan and Dean approached Liberty, one of L.A.'s top record companies, in the hopes of working with the label's bigtime hitmaking team and securing longer-term success. A demo of Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loesser's 1938 tune "Heart and Soul" done up J&D style was rejected by the label, though they were interested in signing the duo. The two instead took the song to Gene Autry's Challenge Records, relying on their gut instinct that it would be a hit (even though a version by The Cleftones was already scaling the charts). It was; number one in Los Angeles in June '61 and a top 30 hit nationally (the markedly different-sounding Cleftones record did reach the top 20 a few weeks earlier, winning the overall competition). After one other Challenge 45, "Wanted, One Girl," Jan recorded a solo single, "Tomorrow's Teardrops," released by Alpert and Adler on a "just for fun" label, Ripple Records. In late 1961, Jan and Dean signed a long-term contract with Liberty.
Early Liberty efforts were a bit directionless as they stayed with the previously established formula. "A Sunday Kind of Love" (a Louis Prima standard best known through Jo Stafford's 1947 hit and a 1953 R&B version by New York group The Harptones) hit the charts briefly in early 1962. "Tennessee," with a doo wop hook not unlike the ones in "Jennie Lee" and "Baby Talk," had a slightly better run a few months later. "Linda," written in the '40s by Jack Lawrence, showed promise when adjusted to Jan and Dean mode in spring 1963, a top 40 hit but just the third overall among more than a dozen releases since '59.
The Beach Boys had been together for two years and were really heating up at about this time, opening for Jan and Dean in concert and serving as the duo's backing band onstage. Jan began writing songs with the group's leader Brian Wilson and their composition of "Surf City" opened the world of surf music to J&D and hit number one on the charts in July '63. Suddenly Jan and Dean and the Beach Boys were competing with one another...and the leader of the latter was consorting with the enemy! Of course it was a friendly rivalry and Wilson continued to contribute songs, usually in collaboration with Berry and Roger Christian, a songwriter and well-known Los Angeles disc jockey. "Honolulu Lulu," a Berry-Christian-Spunky song ("Spunky" being another case of Lou Adler just "having fun"), was a fall '63 hit in the surf-and-beach vein, then Jan and Dean took the next logical step into the drag race craze (as the Beach Boys had done on the B sides of their last few surf hits) with the first of several hot rod and/or car songs. "Drag City," written by Berry, Christian and Brian Wilson, went top ten in January 1964.
Jan Berry began writing and producing outside acts, among them The Matadors, who backed Jan and Dean on many of their studio recordings. He and Art Kornfeld composed The Angels' 1963 hit "I Adore Him" and with Christian he contributed "Three Window Coupe" to The Rip Chords' run of car song smashes in '64. Dean Torrence went in another direction during what little free time he had, attending USC and studying a number of subjects, including architecture and science. At the start of 1964, the guys came up with a song that crossed the car craze with the "teen death" movement going strong since the start of the decade: "Dead Man's Curve" (the nickname of an actual stretch of Sunset Boulevard) was deemed a bit dark by Liberty Records brass, so they made sure it was backed with a "happy" song, "The New Girl in School," promoting the record as a double A side. Both songs were hits, but "Dead Man's Curve" was bigger and landed them back in the top ten. The song's impact didn't end there, though; in a couple of years it would become a permanent, and tragic, part of the Jan and Dean story.
Donald Altfeld turned a possible hallucination into a major hit for his longtime pals. One night while driving down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, he swore he saw a little old grandmother-type in a hot, souped-up rod speed past him. The illusion became reality after that, when he and Roger Christian wrote "The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)," another top ten for Jan and Dean during the summer of '64. At the same time, the Dodge Dealers of Southern California came up with a series of TV commercials with actress Kathryn Minner as a Granny in '...a brand new shiny red Super Stock Dodge,' as the song described. The spots were popular and Minner became a star, causing a sensation at personal appearances and even appearing with Jan and Dean on the cover of their album titled after the hit song.
Next up was the theme from the summer film "Ride the Wild Surf" starring Fabian and Shelley Fabares, backed with "The Anaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review and Timing Association," the logical follow-up to "Little Old Lady," featuring an entire group of Grannies hipper than yourself. "Sidewalk Surfin'" made sure skateboarders weren't overlooked; it used the melody of Wilson's Beach Boys tune "Catch a Wave."
The T.A.M.I. Show was a big event for rock music fans, hosted by Jan and Dean during two nights of filming in October 1964 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Shot on videotape and later transferred to film for a theatrical premiere in December, the all-star concert featured James Brown, The Rolling Stones, Lesley Gore, The Supremes, J&D partners-in-crime the Beach Boys and many others. The film's theme, "(Here They Come) From All Over the World," was written by P.F. Sloan and Steve Barri (of The Fantastic Baggys, another sometimes-backup band for Jan and Dean) and a live performance by the duo was released as a single, even though the version heard at the beginning of the film was a studio recording.
Following the high of hosting one of the all time great, star-studded music movies, Jan and Dean's singles began showing sings of weakness. Like Brian Wilson, Berry and Torrence were huge fans of producer Phil Spector; "You Really Know How to Hurt a Guy" was produced by Jan in a Spectoresque "Wall of Sound" style and hit the top 40 at the start of summer 1965. Sloan and Barri's "I Found a Girl" had more in common with their early recordings and was also a top 40 hit. Jan released another solo single, his one attempt at a protest song, "The Universal Coward" (a takeoff on "The Universal Soldier," a fall '65 hit for both Donovan and Glen Campbell), but like the earlier Berry single, it didn't catch on. Meanwhile, Dean sang on the early 1966 Beach Boys hit "Barbara Ann." When the Batman TV series premiered on ABC-TV in January and immediately dominated in the ratings, the duo released their own "Batman" single (with no similarities to the show's theme by Neal Hefti), a cartoonish take on Gotham City's dependancy on the Caped Crusader.
If the best days were behind them, any chance of a resurgence was extinguished in April 1966 when Jan Berry ran into a parked truck while driving his Corvette Stingray not far from the location detailed so morbidly in "Dead Man's Curve." He suffered brain damage and paralysis resulting in limited use of his limbs, including his legs (doctors diagnosed that he would never be able to walk again). The likelihood of his making records or performing in the future was slim, but Dean Torrence continued solo, releasing several singles under the name of the duo. Their contract with Liberty had expired and the label released a few older recordings as singles, including the act's last top 40 hit that summer, "Popsicle" (a remix of a 1963 recording, "Popsicle Truck"). Dean formed the J&D label and licensed one track, "Yellow Balloon," to Columbia Records (competing in the spring of '67 with a version by a band named The Yellow Balloon, which became the hit). He also started his own company, Kittyhawk Graphics, geared specifically toward creating logos and cover art for music acts and, with artist Gene Brownell, won a Grammy Award in the category of Best Album Cover for designing the cover art for the 1971 release by the band Pollution.
There were no further chart appearances for the duo after 1967. Berry rehabbed successfully enough over the next few years to return to studio recording and the two worked together off and on. Live appearances were trickier, as Jan's struggles were all too obvious to concertgoers, but they kept at it and made regular appearances in the '70s and '80s as headliners (with a new backup band, Papa Doo Run Run, named after a variation on the lyrical intro of "The New Girl in School") and as an opening act for longtime colleagues The Beach Boys. Jan Berry passed away in 2004 at the age of 62. Dean Torrence still performs occasionally under the name The Jan and Dean Show in memory of his close friend and musical other half. Music fans will always keep that image of two guys with a "very California look" in their minds and hearts.

No obvious match on the 1901 Genes Reunited Census search, nor a trace of Henry & Annie Elizabeth. Unfortunately I don’t have access to Scottish Census Records. The 1911 high-level Census search has a 15 year old John Abel, (which would tie in with the Hardingham man), recorded in the District of Mitford, Norfolk.
Norlink has a Lance Corporal John Thomas Thomas Abel of the Scots Guard, but links him to Hardingham without any further information as to which village he came from, or indeed if he even died during WW1. The Cator’s who owned the village, have historic associations with the Scots Guards. The shoulder tabs in the picture definitely look like they begin “Machine”

There is an Alfred G Bailey, aged 17, born Keswick, Norfolk on the 1901 Census. Alfred was working as a Domestic Groom and was living at The Street, Keswick, the household of his parents, Edward J, (aged 53 and a Domestic Gardener), and Ann, (aged 57), along with brother Herbert S, (aged 15 and also working as a Domestic Gardener)
There is a Corporal Alfred Bailey of the Royal Garrison Artillery listed on the People who served memorial in the Swardeston village church, but he appears to have survived. Swardeston is next door to Keswick, and I know when I looked at Swardeston and Mulbarton, there was a smattering of Keswick names on both villages memorials, presumably as a result of individuals choosing to go to church, (these are frequently Parish rather than Village memorials), or moving in the intervening years between 1901 and the outbreak of the war.
www.roll-of-honour.com/Norfolk/Swardeston.html
The 1911 Census is now starting to come on line. From a high-level search, it would appear that there were two Alfred Bailey’s living in Norfolk of the right age, (26/27) to tie in with the Groom who was living at Keswick.. One was at Blofield, and one was at Henstead.
The fall of Beaucourt: 14th November 1916
On Freyberg's right II Corps had taken St Pierre Divion on the afternoon of the 13th and men from the 1st Cambridgeshire Regiment had been ferrying ammunition and grenades across the Ancre to replenish spent supplies.
During the night 111th Brigade from 37th Division had been brought up to assist the 63rd in their assault on the untaken section of the Beaucourt Trench to the left of Freyberg's group. The 13th Royal Fusiliers and 13th Rifle Brigade started their advance at 06:20 hours but despite some gains it soon became apparent that nothing further was going to be achieved until Beaucourt had been taken.
For the push to take the village 190th Brigade had assembled as many men as it could in the vicinity of Beaucourt Station, including 400 men from 1st HAC and about 80 of the 7th Royal Fusiliers. These advanced at 07:45 hours as far as Freyberg, who then led the men immediately into the attack on the village.
Despite the strong resistance in the trenches to the west of the village, Beaucourt fell remarkably easily with the gain of 500 prisoners. By 10:30 hours Freyberg could report that he was in control of Beaucourt.
Tanks
The original planning for the attack had utilised a number of tanks, but it had quickly been realised that with the ground so well churned by the bombardment that they would be more of a hindrance and had been sent back to the rear.
Now, on the second day, two were again brought forward in an attempt to deal with the stronghold machine gun nest which continued to hold up the Division's advance to the west of Beaucourt.
Both tanks soon became bogged down in mud but not before one of them had advanced far enough to be able to use its 6 pounder guns to good effect, and causing the German garrison of over 400 to surrender.
That evening the line of advance was pushed further forward around Beaucourt and the left was brought up to the Beaucourt Trench. It would take another few days of fighting to finally secure all that had been envisaged on the 12th

The 1901 Census has a number of potential John Burrows born in Norwich and the suburb of Sprowston, which is off the roads that lead to Woodbastwick. However there is not one of the right age to tie in with John Mandell Burrows, on the Genes Re-united search engine.
The basic search of the 1911 Census that’s available reveals that a John Burrows of the right age was recorded in the District of Blofield.
The 7th June 1917 was the opening day of the Battle of Messines, a considerable success for the British. Significant mining of the German front line had been achieved. When the British artillery bombardment ceased, the German troops emerged to man their weapons in anticipation of the coming attack. At this point the simultaneous detonation of 19 mines (600 tons of explosives) is claimed to have cost over 10,000 German lives. The 74th Brigade, of which the 9th Loyal North Lancs formed a part, were part of the force that then moved forward to hold the ground. The explosion is claimed to have been the loudest man-made noise up to that time. Or to quote the General in charge - "Gentlemen, we may not make history tomorrow, but we shall certainly change the geography."

The most serious fighting of the day was in the northern sector of the battle, where the 9th
was.

These upper chambers had numerous occupants of which two are note worthy. The first was Albermarle Bertie Cator in 1904. 'Alby" Cator was the Scots Guards officer incarnate. During the Great War, at the first battle of Ypres, he assumed command for several critical days when he was the only field officer left in the brigade. Cator survived the war and lived until 1932, when, at the age of 55 he dropped dead from a heart attack whilst out hunting.

He was living in the household of his parents, William, S, (aged 36, a House Builder, born in North Walsham) and Jane, (aged 33 and born Bury St Edmunds). Also there are brothers John, (aged 2, born North Walsham), William, (aged 7 and born North Walsham), and sisters Dorothy, (aged 4, born North Walsham), Florence, (aged 9, born North Walsham), and Maud, (aged 11, born North Walsham).

The only Wallace Crisp listed on the 1901 Census for England and Wales is a 31 year old Druggist and Chemist, living with his widowed father at the “Live & Let Live” Inn, Windsor Road, South Lynn, Kings Lynn. It seens unlikely that they would become an ordinary private soldier, and Wallace’s age at the time of the outbreak of war would have made it unlikely that he would have been taken as a Volunteer in 1914/15.
The 41 year old Wallace is still listed in the District of Kings Lynn in the 1911 Census.

Looking again at the 1901 Census, that gives us Albert Edward Ellis, living at Mill Hill, Woodbastwick. Albert is an American born, British subject. He is living with his father George, a 30 year old teamster on farm, who had been born in Woodbastwick and mother Rosanna T. who was 28 and born at Salhouse.

The high-level search available for the 1911 Census has a 15 year old Charles recorded in the District of Blofield and a 23 year old Robert Charles.
Our 28 year old bricklayer now appears to be registered in the District of St Faiths.

The most likely match is an Edward J Fox who at the time of the 1901 Census was aged 20, single, and a carpenters assistant, living at The Street, Salhouse. This was the household of his parents, James G, (a 45 year old Yardman on a Farm) and Mary A, (aged 41). Both parents had been born in Salhouse.

The only Elijah Hardesty on the 1901 Census for England and Wales was already 50. He doesn’t even appear on the 1891 Census, (at least not on the transcribed version on the Genes Re-united site). In 1901 he was an ordinary Agricultural Labourer, who was born at Bergh Apton but had married Sophia C., from Salhouse. Sophia was also 50. Living with them was their daughter Annie, (aged 14), and sons James, (aged 17 and an ordinary agricultural labourer), and Thomas, (age 23 and a Railway Labourer)
There is no match at all on the 1911 Census for England and Wales, (18/01/09), although not all the Counties are loaded as yet.
www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx?x=252057341
However there is a James Hardesty on the Salhouse village roll of honour which notes that he is the son of Mr and Mrs E Hardesty of Brick Kiln Farm, Woodbastwick.
I assume this is probably the James referred to above as aged 17 and an ordinary agricultural labourer, which makes it surprising that he isn’t commemorated in Woodbastwick.

In summary his place of birth is given as Woodbastwick, he is a farrier blacksmith by trade having served an 8 year apprentice at Norwich. His next of kin is his father William, still living at Woodbastwick. His service number was 22279. He enlisted on the 4.8.1915 at Maribyrong, Victoria initialy in an Infantry Battalion but was transferred in May 1916 with the trade qualification of Shoeing Smith and was assigned to the 23rd Howitzer Brigade, 109th Battery. He sailed for England in May 1916, arriving July 1916 and then on to France where he was assigned to the 8th Field Artillery Brigade, gaining promotion to Corporal Farrier. He was repeatedly hospitalised in 1918 with furuncolosis (Boils). He was discharged from the Army on the 30/11/1919. At his pension medical board, I think the doctor has written that his military related injuries are as a result of “scabies and gassing” - typical doctor’s handwriting, so look for yourself.

CHAPTER 12:
THE WITCH BY MOOR AND WOOD AND SHORE
The “secret, black and midnight hags” are waiting. He alights from his horse, his heel squelching into boggy ground. Behind him, a mosaic of moss and peaty pools stretches away to the horizon, buffeted by wind. There is not a tree in sight; the acid soil and exposure forbid the growth of anything above knee-height. Beside the pool at his feet, the moss draws water, a thirsty sponge plastered over the stone, inches thick, the air above it slick with moisture. Further out into the water, flowers hang above the surface like heads of nodding puppets, the stems blushing as if freshly bruised. Beneath the water, the plant bears little bladders, like shed reptiles’ scales adhering to the leaves. Crustaceans swim between the submerged stems, and the bladders gape like mouths, toothed with bristles. One touch of a branched antenna, and the valve trap springs and expands. Sucked inside, the crustacean struggles in vain as the sealed door slams, its prison walls exuding the juice of death. It may share its death-cell with an assortment of other partially digested insects and crustaceans, some of them still alive and threshing their appendages ever more slowly. The man knows nothing of these struggles between microscopic titans; he turns up the hill towards drier ground, where the first clumps of heather struggle to retain a foothold. His eyes are set on a triple cairn at the top of the hill, so he does not notice the plant underfoot, with its pale, curling leaves, sticky with their own exudations. Midges convulse in their death throes, their wings hopelessly glued to the surface of the leaves. There are other diminutive plants here too, with spatulate leaves bristling with appendages, all oozing a substance as sticky and seductive as toffee. A fly struggles on one of them, adhering haphazardly by one of its bulging compound eyes, doomed to buzz itself into its own minor oblivion. As it does so, the other tentacles on the leaf bend inwards to further ensnare the victim. The man pays them no heed, for he is heading up to the higher, drier heath, his mind reeling with the import of his meeting with the minions of Hecate. A wildcat yowls and bares its teeth at him, arching its back and twitching its grey bushy tail, before disappearing amongst the ling; no domestic cat – perhaps it is Graymalkin. He is Macbeth, King of Scotland, bent on his own struggle for survival, anticipating his assignation with three witches, who have already divined that they will meet him on this “blasted heath”.
Had Macbeth not been so oblivious to these struggles on a smaller scale, he might have knelt, and learnt much from the wortlore of bogland plants. The spasmodic death throes of their insect victims might have led him more quickly to his nihilistic conclusion that life “is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” The crustacean-devouring water plant was Bladderwort (Utricularia), and its terrestrial cousin with the scroll-like leaves was Butterwort (Pinguicula), so named because the digestive juices exuded by the leaves are a sort of herbal rennet. Indeed, the leaves may be added to cream in order to form butter, provided, of course, one picks the dying flies off them first. Beside this was the Sundew (Drosera), perhaps the most easily recognisable of the bogland carnivorous plants. Moorland folklore insists that the Sundew and Butterwort, together with the liliaceous, yellow flowered Bog Asphodel, are injurious to sheep and cattle, causing weakness in the bones. Although the latter is indeed poisonous to cattle, it is probably the moorland environment itself which causes the problem, since the soil, and everything that grows upon it, is calcium deficient. Paradoxically, it is also said on Colonsay that cows that have eaten Butterwort are safe from supernatural maladies and elvish arrows, and they have at times been used in conjunction with whin and juniper as a charm against maleficient witchcraft. On the Isle of Man, Sundew is traditionally used as a love-charm by hiding the sticky rosettes in the clothing of one’s intended lover, but the token might just as easily be used as a signal for a clandestine assignation. Another plant of the upland bogs, the Bog Myrtle is used as an insect-repellant, emetic and vermifuge, and in the 1860s it will figure as the main ingredient of a regenerative beer made by the landlady of the ‘Black Horse’ in Ampleforth, Yorkshire. The glands in its leaves secrete a wax which can be made into fragrant candles.
Macbeth will not pause on his way up the hill to chew on the stalk of the Heath Rush, for he is reliably informed that it causes hare-lips. Nor will he stoop to rip up the “tormenting root” of Tormentil, which jilted lovers burn at midnight on Friday to compel their lovers to return. He is soon knee-deep in heather, whose pink or purple flowers are said to be stained with Pictish blood shed in battle. It has long been used for tanning leather, it makes a refreshing dry ale, and its bell-shaped flowers are tempting to bees. Robert Graves makes an obscure and tantalising reference to an Irish tale of the goddess Garbh Ogh, collected by Dean Swift at Lough Crew. She haunted the heather moors, riding in a cart drawn by elks, accompanied by ten giant hounds, all with birds’ names, and she subsisted on venison milk and eagles’ breasts. Perhaps she was a winter goddess, for with the flowering of the heather, she built herself a triple cairn of stones and settled amongst the blooms to die, like a spent queen bee. Other parts of the moor may be covered with Bilberries, also known as Blueberries or Whortleberries, a delicacy picked in Ireland in anticipation of the feast of Lughnasadh.
The calcium deficiency in these acid soils limits the range of fauna Macbeth is likely to encounter. A stag may cross his path, the whites of his eyes visible as he hurls himself away from the likely hunter. A hen harrier may wheel overhead. There are other moorland birds too: the “treacherous” lapwing, as Chaucer called her, roused from her nest into flop-winged flight. She lets out a succession of pies and weeps the further she flies, the wan sky catching her silhouette. Now she wings a lap around the lone man, leaving her little ones behind and tempting him to follow her. Should he tread amongst them, they will scatter, spindle-shanked and peeping, with eggshells on their heads. In the distance, there may be the cackle of a grouse, prey to the hen harrier. At another time, Macbeth might have come upon the “lek”, a communal display ground used by the polygamous male grouse to attract mates. For now, the grouse pecks at the heather, scuds over sodden sphagnum bogs, bubbling and crooning to himself, and eluding the shadow of man. Since the reign of the gun-hung gamekeeper has not yet begun, he must also elude the tooth and claw of the native wildcat if he is to dance in his lek next year.
When Macbeth reaches the cairn on the flattened summit, the witches will ply him with a hallucinogenic brew. The ingredients sound disgusting, but most of them are code-words for herbs gathered somewhere in the lowlands. Shakespearean tragic heroes are fond of such places in a crisis: King Lear and his Fool came to such a place when he was insane, and learned wisdom. On his way back down the hill, a less preoccupied man might stop at a solitary rowan tree by a stone wall – the only standing tree for miles. He has need of it, for its white flowers and red berries make it a goddess tree, a tree of inspiration. He might need to pick his way through the gorse, for here it has not been piled and burnt, and were he of more tender disposition, he might repeat the old adage, “Kissing’s out of fashion when the gorse is out of bloom.” Little does he know that the witches themselves will retire to this thorny bower if ever they are pursued. But his thoughts are on matters of state: trivial, irrelevant questions to bring to this ageless place. Of course, in the end, the witches tell Macbeth nothing that the bladderwort in the bog, the wildcat in his path, the harrier in the welkin, or the bleak and pitiless moor itself could not have told him: the truth about himself.

Of course, she is quite as beautiful as all of the other young Russian girls throughout history who have one day become wives to a Tsar: a simple, uncomplicated beauty which is scorned in her own house, but would be sufficient to light up the throne room in her future palace. But today, her brow is knitted in furrows and her body trembles as she runs. In her hand she clutches a little wooden doll, her magical saviour in times of crises, and her knuckles whiten for fear of losing it. In the distance, dimly visible between the moonlit boles of the birches, there glows a great arc of paired lights: a dull, greenish glow that sets her teeth on edge. Everything within her is telling her to seek the safety of darkness in the woods rather than hurry towards the ring of light, for she knows why the lights glow from paired orbs: they are human skulls, glowing in the sockets with a magical luminescence. Beyond the skulls, which are mounted on stakes around the perimeter of a fence knitted from human bones, there stands a wretched little hut – or rather, it doesn’t stand exactly – it prances and scratches about in the dust, for it is mounted on a pair of grotesquely oversized hen’s legs. A thin plume of smoke rises from the chimney of this hovel, and momentarily obscures the moon, for its occupant is at home. She is the Baba Yaga, a hideous hag who always puts her guests to the test, and eats them if she finds them wanting. No doubt she is also the lingering folk memory of a dark goddess, for when she is not flaying the skin from warriors’ backs, she teaches her initiates the hard way, and they return to their own land filled with arcane wisdom. The young girl catches at the stitch in her side with her spare hand, and looks ahead in fear. She is Wassilissa the Beautiful, and whether she likes it or not, she is the Baba Yaga’s next initiate into the mysteries of the forest – or, if she is unworthy, into the mysteries of the cauldron, as viewed from the inside.
When Wassilissa overcomes her fear and presents herself to the Baba Yaga, she is taken into the squalid hut and imprisoned there. On successive days, she is given a series of increasingly absurd and impossible tasks which need not concern us here, and whilst her magically animated wooden doll is wiping away Wassilissa’s tears and solving all her problems, the Baba Yaga has locked the door behind her, climbed into her giant iron mortar, and is now flying out across the woods, rowing along through the air with her pestle, and sweeping away her trail with her kitchen broom. Some say she is off to fight magical battles in the chthonic underworld, but more likely she is off to seek her own wisdom from the woodlands that surround her home – or, given her novel mode of transvection, those farther afield.
Any normal mortal who explores a wood is likely to begin by searching for helleborines, twayblades or wood anemones in the spring and summer, or fungi in the autumn. However, for the Baba Yaga, like many other denizens of the forest, the odyssey starts not on the woodland floor, but in the treetops. Many of the birch trees in her own woodland carry “witches’ brooms” – bunched and twiggy growths which hang from the branches. To the uninitiated, these look like clumps of mistletoe; in fact, they are galls caused by a fungus which persists from year to year, sometimes producing brooms a metre in diameter, and comprising three or four hundred twigs. A single birch tree may carry nearly a hundred such excrescences at the end of its comparatively short life span of a century. Amongst the plethora of galls which afflict the neighbouring, longer-lived oak trees, one of the commonest is the “oak apple”: a rose-pink or yellow spongy ball of abnormal plant tissue which is the tree’s defensive response to the insertion of parthenogenetic eggs into the developing bud by a wingless female cynipid wasp. Every oak apple is pleurilocular, containing around thirty chambers, each a cradle for a developing grub which gorges its bloated body on juices from the tree. In late summer, the imagoes gouge their way out, leaving the oak apples riddled with tiny holes. In Britain after the Restoration of Charles II, these curious plant-tumours were worn by Royalists on May 29th, Oak Apple Day, to commemorate his birthday and return from exile. In school, children who failed to wear the regulation oak-sprig were whipped with nettles. The oak was the ideal tree to symbolise the Royalist cause, given the popular rumour that the king hid himself from his Puritan pursuers inside a hollow oak tree at Boscopel. Although the fashionably sceptical Professor Ronald Hutton has persistently denied that the celebrations might pre-date the Civil War, many have concluded that Oak Apple Day is the remnant of a pagan fertility rite. Certainly, it has gained its own neo-Pagan associations in recent centuries. When Roger Deakin attended Oak Apple Day in the Royal Forest of Grovely in Wiltshire, he found a whole range of contradictions in the involvement of conservative country people in obviously pagan rituals, apparently supported by the church, and despite the Royalist history of the rites, deeply influenced by socialist responses to the Enclosure Acts. Oak Apple Day was an “annual reassertion of rights to collect wood” on common land. In the midst of this controversy, however, no one appears to have asked the obvious question, which is why oak apples specifically should be worn. It seems a strange – or, for those with republican sympathies, oddly appropriate – symbol of monarchy: a sham fruit, a spongy cancer writhing inside with parasitic grubs. As a symbol of fertility, however, it is potent: it reminds me of nothing so much as the ontological eccentricities of the sixteenth century miller Menocchio, resurrected for posterity by that admirable historian Carlo Ginzburg, who maintained that the origin of the universe lay in putrefaction: the world was a piece of cheese from which worms spontaneously arose. In any case, it is doubtful whether the Royalists realised that the wasps responsible for this ambiguous symbol have a curious and cryptic double life-cycle. In July, the winged imagoes mate, and the females penetrate the soil, for the next generation will be infants suckling on subsided sap, parasites not of growing buds, but of hidden roots in the humus. A descent into the underworld indeed.
In late July, the oak leaves are heavily mined by tiny caterpillars which live beneath the epidermis, most of them larvae of micro-moths. The Baba Yaga’s flight through the canopy is the more pleasurable because of the Purple Emperor butterflies, largest of the Lepidoptera in northern climes. The male will choose the tallest oak for his throne, and will only be tempted to the forest floor by things white and glittering, or by rotting carcasses which he can probe with his hungry tongue. Perhaps the Baba Yaga will follow him: he is unlikely to find the carcase of a badger, for they like to intern their dead within their own setts, until their skulls, forever interlocked with their jawbones, are carelessly unearthed when the dwellings require extension. It is too late, too, for the flowers of the early purple orchid, whose tubers were once the source of the invigorating, semen-thick, starchy drink known as salop, a favourite refreshment of Victorian labourers, and a renowned aphrodisiac. It was once said that there were enough purple orchids growing in Cobham Park to pleasure every seaman’s wife in Rochester. Perhaps this was another form of sympathetic magic: the twin tubers of orchids look like bollocks. The Purple Emperor flits on, over those withered stems, and alights instead on the corpse of a roebuck, already rotting. Its juices are rank and leaching into the soil, attended by burying beetles and maggots; the eye sockets are sunken. As the butterfly’s tongue begins to probe, the Baba Yaga surely pays her respects to this horned one of the woods. Modern humans think of deer as the enemies of the forest, for they chew the shoots of newly coppiced trees. Whilst this is certainly true, there ought to be room for gratitude: a deer-filled wood is a bluebell wood, for the deer clear enough foliage for these plants to gain their requisite sunlight. More importantly, in the Middle Ages, when forests were royal preserves, the trees were maintained as cover for the deer; without the deer, the woods would have been felled for pasture, and there would have been nowhere for Robin Hood to hide.
At the edges of the clearings in our wood of oak and birch, the smaller trees flourish. A hazel bends over a stream, waiting to drop its wisdom-filled nuts into the water, where, perhaps, the salmon of knowledge may swallow them. The spindle tree grows here too, and when all is gaunt in winter, her rose-pink, poisonous berries will shrink to reveal orange seeds: joyful punctuations of the prevailing gloom. No doubt the Baba Yaga has cut the spindle to make wands, for its white and lightweight timber is admirably suited. Indeed, it is said that a despairing seamstress who thrusts her spindle (derived from this tree) into the ground, will soon be delighted to perceive it taking root, producing greenish-white flowers and fruit as red as roses. No wonder the archetypal witch is often depicted with distaff and spindle.
These woods are the haunt of mustelids: not just the badger, but also the stoat and weasel. In winter, the stoat becomes the ermine, whose snow-white coat is a long and undulating sentence ending in a black full-stop: the tip of the tail. These tail tips, sewn with alarming profusion into trimmings of royal gowns, are the black wisps in the fluffy whitenesses which adorn the necks of mediaeval kings and queens, but in its natural state, the stoat is a wily creature with whom any witch should identify. Gamekeepers hate them, and cleave their skulls whenever they can find them, for they are crafty of mind and supple of body, and can take down creatures many times their size. The weasel is even smaller: a beady-eyed, ripple-bodied killing machine with teeth like needles. The late twelfth century Breton poet, Marie de France, who was a champion of misunderstood lovers and werewolves alike, has been one of the few authors (even the enlightened Kenneth Grahame fails in this regard) to ascribe noble qualities to the weasel. In her extraordinary lay known as Eliduc, the hero’s lover lies dead, and his longsuffering wife feels for him in his despondency. She sits weeping beside the bier of the woman who has been bedding her husband, when all at once, a weasel runs past, only to be struck dead by a stick-throwing servant standing nearby. Moments later, a second weasel, the first one’s mate, comes and finds her dead. He runs outside and picks a flower with his teeth, and uses it to revive her. In what must qualify as one of the most selfless acts in all romantic literature, Eliduc’s wife retrieves the flower, resurrects her husband’s adulterous lover, and graciously retires to a convent, and the weasels, one hopes, live on to perpetuate their species.
The mixed woodlands of oak, birch and ash lie in the lowlands. The beechwoods of the chalky uplands are quite different, and the Baba Yaga would fly far to find them. Mature beeches allow little sunlight to filter down to the forest floor, and as a result, the vegetation is sparse. One flower, however, has found a niche, and its perspicacity must arouse the admiration of any witch. The bird’s nest orchid contains no chlorophyll, and as a consequence, it is not green, but yellow and fleshy, with a purplish tinge. The flowers are not gaudy, but brown, designed to attract flies, and the plant does not photosynthesise, for it is saprophytic, deriving its nutrients not from the sun but from an underground fungus with which it shares a symbiotic relationship – and the fungus, in turn, is dependent on the humus provided by the rotting foliage of the beeches. Every year, the orchid flowers by the bole of the beech, unless perchance its underground rhizomes encounter a stone. Should they do so, the plant will flower underground. A model of perverse and persevering persistence, it is surprising that the bird’s nest orchid does not play a bigger role in folklore; indeed, the only explanation for this is the fact that it is hardly ever noticed, for without green colouration, plants are nearly always presumed to be dead.
It would be impossible for the Baba Yaga to frequent these woodlands without encountering a fox, and it would be unlikely indeed that she should fail to identify with him. Since the Middle Ages, the French have understood the fox most intimately, immortalising him as Reynard, the trickster who always has the last laugh. Sometimes he disguises himself as a monk, tonsuring the unsuspecting wolf with a cauldron of boiling water. On other occasions, he shams his own death, enticing birds within reach of his snapping jaws. Chaucer lets him sink his teeth into the neck of the narcissistic cockerel Chantecler, and in the mediaeval French romances, he even creates a martyr, Coupée the chicken, whose earthly life was so cruelly cut short. He presides laughingly over the castration of his rival Tybert the cat by a fornicating priest, and personally engineers the trapping of Bruin the Bear inside a cleft oak. Ever victorious, Reynard is the archetypal guiser. If you don’t believe it, seek him out yourself in a summer glade where the rabbits are chewing cowslips: he sidles along, respectfully distant, and all at once he is turning somersaults as though he has gone mad, biting the dirt and threshing at his own tail with his hindlegs. The rabbits are mesmerised by this vision of a predator turned insane; slowly they creep closer. Reynard’s game is an eloquent essay in predatory hypnosis. One rabbit strays too near, and the muscles ripple on the fox’s muzzle, the canines bared. The pupils in the yellow irises congeal into sharp lozenges of dark. Suddenly, the fox-fool is a lethal machine, and the rabbit curls, screaming in agony in the fox’s jaws. The Baba Yaga is not dissimilar in her dealings with her own victims.
When winter comes, the broadleaved woods are bare, and only hollies and the occasional yew can relieve the monotony. At this time, no doubt, the Baba Yaga steers for the coniferous woodlands, eschewing only those of larch, which alone among the cone-bearing trees are deciduous. She seeks a creature every witch should revere. Of course, if we have had any contact whatever with modern environmental movements, we in Britain are immediately sure what creature she is after. It must be the red squirrel – that totemic creature whose imprint ensures fundraising success for every wildlife charity. Ousted from the woodlands of the south of our islands by the American grey – so this myth insists – the red squirrel persists in the Scotch Pines of the Highlands, staunch to the end like some latter-day Dad’s Army. We conveniently forget that it is we who introduced the grey squirrel, so that we can demonise it, and that it is we in our unprecedented population explosions of the twenty-first century who turn our woodlands into minute islands in the sea of homogeneity, dooming the less resilient species to extinction. But the Baba Yaga does not seek the red squirrel. She is after something far more elusive: a lissom-limbed creature whose every movement is sinuous, smearing pungent scents on the bark of the pine bough. His pelt is the warmest brown: dark chocolate laced with white, and had he not been persecuted to near extinction in our country, the grey squirrel would never have extended its range. Should the fresh meat run out, he is resilient enough to resort to caterpillars, or even bilberries. These days, it takes a witch to find him, led onward by the pricking of her thumbs, and even then she must crane her neck, or mount once more to the treetops in her mortar, for this creature scampers where most men scorn to look. Furtive, trembling with the pulse of a hungry metabolism, the pine marten claws the bough. Like the eyes of Wassilissa’s doll, its pupils are aglow.

The path beneath my feet is an ancient wickerwork of the roots of elms, and the ivied trunks beside me are columns in a cathedral of green, for Dutch Elm Disease has never ravaged the trees on the Isles of Scilly. Chiff-chaffs and wrens, roof-boss creatures come to life, peer between the leaves with beady eyes, and beside the raised path the little fenland supports a hundred tiny chapels of hemlock water dropwort, twinkling woodbines, and green and fleshy liverworts on gleaming walls of soil. A choir of hoverflies is singing, a tracery of elm twigs arching above them. I am on my way through the shrine to nature known as Holy Vale, heading towards Porth Hellick, a bay gouged into the granite on the eastern side of the island of St. Mary’s. As I emerge from the fenland, where herons and egrets curl their harpoon-headed necks like question-marks, the dromedary-shaped geological feature known as Camel Rock looms in front of me. Shallow sea-water laps over the bladder-wrack as I make my way past it, and out in the deeper water, I glimpse the arched Roman-nose of a grey seal, his nostrils flared to drink in the air. Suddenly, he submerges, and I time the interval before his re-emergence, not daring to hold my own breath. He has exhaled before diving, every pocket of air expelled from shrunken alveoli, his bloodstream constricted, for this reduces his buoyancy. His blood is almost black in colour, for it is packed with haemoglobin in order to carry additional reserves of oxygen during the dive. Three, four, five minutes, and his head is bobbing up ahead, like a stub-nosed buoy with whiskers. Gulls skim the sea’s dark undulations. A cormorant dives, and turnstones cry. The sun turns the sea mercurial, and the shoreline is a mirror with a glazed meniscus. As the old seal breasts the surge, I almost hear the slop of mercury, and then the sun shifts, the sea a green glaze crusted with foam. The boulders beside the path are mounded with unsalvaged disjecta: a winkle, a pebble, a cormorant’s skull.
Beyond Camel Rock, an ancient stairway has been cut into the stone. Ahead of me, the cliff forms a great overhang, known locally as Clapper Rock. One can imagine it rapping like a gargantuan castanet on a windy night, and in the past I have taken children here on bivouacs, and they have scared each other sleepless with tales of the ghosts of suicides. As I mount the stairs, the light intensifies; the stones seem to be vibrating. Spectral figures climb the stairs ahead of me, shawled and murmuring, disappearing behind a curve in the rocky cleft. I know who they are. In 1750, Robert Heath wrote the first ever book about the Isles of Scilly, and in it he described a collective of Healing Aunts whose traditions had been handed down from time immemorial. “They are all good Botanists,” he tells us, “and have added a great many Herbs to their Catalogue… Their Systems and Hypotheses are to help those in Distress for Pity’s sake rather than for Profit.” In 1750, the most senior amongst them was Sarah Jenkins, a wise-woman and midwife of considerable local standing. That she was also a witch seems very likely: in her youth she certainly knew of the fairies which inhabited the chambered cairn of Buzza Hill near Hugh Town, whose “nightly Pranks, aerial Gambols, and Cockel-shell Abodes are now quite unknown.” Supposedly, they were “charm’d” or “conjur’d out of the islands” by cunning-men from Cornwall, but surely I have seen them myself, belted with leather of Laminaria, their menfolk in britches of kelp, their women skirted with Porphyra, with purses of bladder-wrack, stitched with strands of Chorda. I am sure that to this day they dance to tunes of fiddles fashioned out of the skulls of guillemots, and beat on urchin drums.
I think I know where the ghosts of the Healing Aunts are going. They are heading across the heath towards the beach of Pelistry, beyond which lies Toll’s Island, a grassy clump of rock connected to the beach by a sand-bank at low tide. In the eighteenth century, Toll’s Island would have hung under a pall of noisome smoke, for it was covered with kelp-pits tended by wizened old ladies puffing perversely on blackened clay pipes. The kelp was burned to a fine ash and then exported for use in glass-making, a meagre source of revenue for the poverty-stricken island folk. Beyond the kelp-pits stands Pellew’s Redoubt, a relic of the Civil War, from which not even these islands, twenty-eight miles into the Atlantic, were entirely free. At the far end, the sea slops and gurgles against the rocks, and it is here, I am sure, that the Healing Aunts are heading. The rockpools here are a candy-shop of colours: Coralina plants, articulated like puppets and pink as musk, kelps, oar shaped, made of chocolate leather, and edible sea lettuces, pistachio green. I bend down and dip my hands in the water. There is the sideways scuttle of a retreating crab, a frightened goby’s blinkless eye, the urchin’s serried army bristling. There are limpets and pixie cups and slowly moving snails clearing trails in sand. Despite the turmoil and pounding of the sea, delicate anemones spread their tentacles, or lie above the waterline like globules of blind red jelly.
Here the Healing Aunts will find Dillisk, a membrane-thin ribbon of red seaweed known to the Scots as Dulse, Rhodymenia palmata. Shawled in ragged wool, Sarah Jenkins bends hunchbacked over the rocks, plucks with scrabbling fingers the limp Dillisk from the stone, or rolls up her grubby sleeve, and picks it where it swells in swirling ribbons underwater. It clings to her skin as though it has been smeared with bacon grease. Rich in iodine, Dillisk has long been an essential component of the diet of coastal peoples, and during the Irish potato blight, it doubtless saved lives. Hanging in the kitchen, it withers at the edges, grows a powdery crust of salt, and stiffens like red parchment, until wet weather leaves it hanging flaccid: it is, in fact, the world’s first barometer. Combined with sea lettuce and mixed with oatmeal, it is fried to make nutritious cakes. The seaweed known as “Irish moss” grows here too, its fronds rainbowed with bioluminescence under water. Medicinally, it is an anticoagulant, and a treatment for bronchitis, bladder infections and kidney irritation; it is also an effective gelling agent. The seaweeds are used here for fertilisers too, and wrack-cutters were equipped with special scythes for the purpose of harvesting the larger plants. Other seaweeds had folkloric significance: Viking descendents on Iceland were afraid of a hideous child-eating troll-woman named Grýla, whose coat was made of seaweed, and whose fifteen tails were made of the knotted wrack, Ascophyllum nodosum. In addition to her child-devouring cat, she had a string of husbands, none of whom could bear her carnivorous habits for very long, until at last she found a sort of happiness with Leppalúði, who was able to quell his nausea for long enough to father a multitude of offspring upon her, all of whom preyed upon human children. Similarly, Norse burial grounds on the Orkneys were later identified as homes of the Trows, semi-aquatic monsters who preyed on human souls. According to Jo Ben, writing in the early seventeenth century, the Stronsay Trows “very often go with the women there”, and they are clad in red seaweed, with horse-like bodies. A Trow’s penis, too, “is like that of a horse”, and the testicles are particularly large. At the opposite extreme of Britain, Scilly too is covered with cairns and tombs, and it seems reasonable to suppose that in former ages, these also had their fair complement of seaweed-clad monsters. On a windy night on Scilly, it is difficult to believe that they do not exist.
No doubt the Healing Aunts did not confine their ministry to St Mary’s. There are five inhabited islands in Scilly today, but in their day, Samson too was inhabited by two wind-worn families, the Woodcocks and the Webbers, who eked out an existence by fishing and kelp-burning before they were evicted in the nineteenth century by the lord of Tresco, Augustus Smith, who built a deer-park on the island, only to find that the deer scorned the place and swam back to Tresco. It is certain that there were magical traditions – not all of them entirely benevolent – on the other islands too, for the well of St. Warna on St. Agnes was once filled with bent pins, each designed to cause a shipwreck, and St. Agnes herself is represented in paintings with a stang, luring tall ships onto the rocks. However, today I will follow the Healing Aunts back to Hugh Town, and take their spectral boat to Samson. On the way, a sandwich tern is above me, slouch-winged and still in the air as a strained lever. All about the boat now, they hover, their necks cocked like flintlocks, their stretched wings bracketing the wind, the watchspring wound, near to breaking. The flintlock springs, and one bird makes a soundless plunge, harpoon-billed and hollow boned. For a moment, it is a stab of white cleaving the water. A sand-eel writhes, and the tern bursts shimmer-feathered back into the air. Riding this swell in winter, I might meet the Immer Loon, or Great Northern Diver, a bird whose ancestors once swum with ichthyosaurs.
There is no jetty on Samson: the spectral boat beaches on the sand of Bar Point at low tide. The beach is a white hump, with a single line of weed. At the top, there is dune grass bleached by brine, and in the spring, pyramidal orchids bloom in profusion. On Dune Hill, the first of Samson’s two granite humps, there is a string of cairns from the days when Scilly was known as Ennor. There is yellow furze, gnarled ling, and a petering path, lined with thrushes’ anvils, each with its own snail-shell cairn. Always, there are the wind-flayed sternums of gulls, rock-pipits, and once fearless wrens, the bleached wings still attached. I will follow the Aunts down the hill, towards the spume-worn Neck, and enter this empty, roofless home to my right, stooping beneath the rafter that would have been. There is an uncanny, unfathomable silence. I can almost hear the wheeze of a Woodcock, his clay pipe clenched in stained incisors. The air here is thick, and it is hard to breathe, for there is an emptiness, like the orbs of a gull’s skull. Up the slope towards South Hill, another house beckons me, armpit deep in foxgloves and red-campions, and fringed with nettles - nitrogen-loving plants which frequent the past abodes of human beings. The hard-hewn lintel is perched precarious as a bird, and inside, the low hearth is lichen-bearded. There is the same silence, the same thickness, the same constriction of the throat; I know I am breathing ghosts, not air. I half-hear the sigh of a Webber, worn from kelp-burning, aching to rest her legs beside the fire that would have been. And now I am back out into the vacancies of brown bracken, walking by bluebells, grown wild from some garden long-gone.
The silences of Samson, here at the Atlantic end of the British Isles, hold within them the profoundest lesson a witch can learn. We humans are transitory: we are walking ghosts. Our hearths encrust; our lintels fall. Our clay pipes lie crushed in the strand. Our remnants are chipped flints, stone bottle stoppers, plastic flotsam. Our broken boats encrust with goose-barnacles. The Healing Aunts knew this: they have brought me here so I may know it too. The wounds we inflict on nature are skin deep; it will master us in the end. If you don’t believe me, take the tourist-boat to Samson – the modern Scillonians will gladly take your money. Sit up there on South Hill and listen. Hear their yawls and cries. Glance down at their mottled eggs on the peaty pathways. Samson does not belong to human beings. It is owned by gulls, and the ghosts of all that would have been.
This is the Stanley Islander 19 Dual Console. Could it be the perfect Rabbit Island boat? We're currently searching for a boat for summer 2012 and weighing potential options. Built in Canada near Parry Sound it is specifically designed for use on Lake Huron around the rocky islands of eastern Georgian Bay. It is self bailing (it doesn't even have a bilge!), welded aluminum (as opposed to riveted), low maintenance, tough as nails, no-frills, and efficient... but also very expensive. I drove up to Canada to see it at the Toronto International Boat Show a few weeks ago and fell in love. Does anyone know where we could find one used? If so drop a line. Apparently they are very hard to come by because people hold on to them forever and there are very few that have been imported to the States. Other considerations include a used Boston Whaler Outrage 17, Grady White Sportsman 180, or Lund Alaskan 18. These are somewhat easier to find used but do not have the combination of aluminum construction and self-bailing hull (they are either one or the other). Aluminum seems like it would be much easier to maintain than fiberglass and more practical in situations adjacent to a rocky shoreline should it bump against the rocks or get pulled on shore. Which one would you go with? Other ideas? Post them below or on Facebook.

Cedarlawn cemetary is located at 2434 West Capitol Street, Jackson, Mississippi just south of Hawkins Field and east of Jackson Zoological park.
Based on the following transcription, the sermon was held in a little school house in Van Winkle. This could possible be Van Winkle Elementary School, 6 miles from Cedarlawn cemetery. It will be interesting to do further research to confirm the location.

SERMON PREACHED AT MEMORIAL SERVICE
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1914
at
VAN WINKLE, MISSISSIPPI
By
REV. DR. E. T. EDMONDS
--o--
I want to read the Ninetieth Psalm:
"Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which growth up.
In the morning it flourisheth, and growth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Return, O Lord, how long? And, let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
And, let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it."
UNQUOTE
Let us pray.
Almighty God, we come into Thy holy presence at this time, feeling very much our sense of need and our deep and great dependence upon Thee; that in Thee we live and move and have our being, and that from Thee cometh life, and breath, and all things.
Oh, God, we know not what the day or the hour may bring forth. We are in Thy hands and our destiny is with Thee, and we pray Thee, Father, to make us faithful to the duty and service of life, and so by faith to follow the leading of Thy providence, and we pray that we may be thoroughly guided by Thy spirit, and walk in the ways of peace and righteousness. Our hearts are very sad today, our Father, and very lonely, and we feel that at this hour we miss the dear one, who has left us very much; and we pray, Father, that his spirit may be with us today and worship with us, and we pray that his kind and gentle life may linger with us as a gracious fragrance and a blessed memory; and that his beautiful example may ever before the people of this community; and that others, the men of this community especially, may realize how much his life has meant, that they too may make their lives fruitful in the service of the Lord and of our Christ. And, Father in Heaven, we pray for the dear ones who have given up to Heaven the father and the husband. We pray that thou wouldst give them "beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."
And we pray, Father, that all of us, in our own way, may be faithful to the duty and service of life as he was; and when the hour shall come, if thou shouldst call us home in the morning, or at the midnight hour, we pray that we may be ready, as he was ready, to pass hence into the everlasting bliss beyond.
Oh, God, be with us, bless us, and lead us in Thine own wisdom. Help us to distrust ourselves and trust Thee and love Thee; and may Christ be ever regnant in our very hearts, and through His name and in His name, and by His blood, may we find peace and acceptance before Thee, and may Thy spirit be with us, fill us and possess us, and lead us, Father, to the eternal home, where thee shall be no death and no separation, and where we shall serve Thee world without end, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Two verses of number five.
At the close of the service we will sing number two hundred eight, "Just as I am, Without One Plea."
I want to call your attention to a phrase in the Book of Isaiah, the sixty-foruth Chapter and sixth Verse: "But we are all as an unclean thin, and all our righteousnesses are a filthy rags, and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
"We all do fade as the leaf." There are a great many expressions in the Old Testament, especially about the brevity of life, and about the swiftness with which death may summon us to the beyond. We are told that our life is like a weaver’s shuttle; and we are told that death comes upon us like a flood. And we are told so frequently that we are like the grass and the flower of the grass, in the morning flourishing, in the evening cut down and withereth.
This phrase in the Book of Isaiah, "We all do fade as a leaf, "is a peculiarly suggestive expression that has often appealed to me, and especially at this season of the year. All the leaves fade.
I was brought up, friends, as a child and as a boy, until I was about twenty years old, indeed, in a country where the leaves never fade; where the bark changes on the tree, but the leaves are perpetually green---that is, the native trees. Of course imported trees that come from other continents bring with them their own habits. And so I must confess to the wonderment that came to me in the first autumn that I spent in Kentucky and beheld the fading leaves of the forest trees. All of the leaves fade: the leaves of the tiny bramble, and the leaves of the mighty oak. And so "death, with equal pace, knocks at the palace and the cottage gate."
And it is an important reflection, friends, to remember about the fading leaves, that they fade when their work is done. There is a very important office, if I may use that word, in the life and foliage of our trees. The animal creation is always pouring out a great tide of poisoned air from the lungs, taking out of the great animal economy all of the poison that, if left, would really destroy the bodies of all animal life, and the leaves through the hot summer continually absorb all those poisons; but when the summer season has ended, and the touch of frost has come to tell us of the coming winter, then the leaves fade when their work is done. And I think, friends, it is so beautiful for us to think of life that way, as fading when our work is done. And God only knows, beloved, when our work is done.
I remember when President Garfield was shot [July 2, 1881] in Washington, D. C., how the nation prayed for his recovery, and the whole world seemed to be in sympathy with the nation that was in grief. And yet he died. And yet, somehow, I think his death was wonderfully blest, for he died in the hope and triumphant expectation of Christian faith, and in the day when Ingersol was preaching his doctrine of materialism and opposing Christian hope. It was a great thing for us when he died to have a Christian die in public life, and in a public way, and in a public place. It helped the world to see the confidence of one’s faith in God.
I don’t know, friends, about the apostle Paul, --what I covet most about him. I think, you know, that he exemplified more of the Christian faith than any other man whose life is found upon the pages of the New Testament. You know he was in prison for a long time, and then he was let out of prison, and then when fierce persecution came, he was arrested and put in prison, [and] condemned to die. I love to think of Paul’s letters so much. I was writing to my brother the other day in Washington, D. C. I have not seen him for many years. But after I had written the letter on the typewriter, I thought of some little message, a little personal message. And I wrote that with a pen. I said to myself, "Now, he will think this is the dearest part of this letter, this little foot note." And that is true. In the very foot notes of Paul’s letters, friends, I find such beautiful things. In that love letter to Phillipians [Philippians] we find a beautiful story. Onesiphorus, who brought to Paul a gift from the Phillipians [Philippians], had been sick and had gotten well. Paul was sending him back. He wrote that beautiful letter to the Phillipians [Philippians], ---Paul’s love letter. At the bottom of the letter, I find this postscript: "All the saints salute you, chiefly they of Caesar’s household." The very soldiers that guarded Paul had become his own brethren. And when Paul wrote that letter he told them how much, how much he loved them. And so Paul added at the end of the letter, "All the saints salute you, chiefly those of Caesar’s household." And then when he was going to die, his life was fulfilled as God’s providence would seem to have it fulfilled. He wrote that final letter to Timothy---Timothy, that wonderful preacher, that young man Paul loved as he loved no other man.
You can tell a whole lot by a man’s friends, the kind of people who are his friends. I like to think of Paul’s friends. Paul’s friends are interesting. Timothy was one of them. He wrote this final message to Timothy. "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand." He wrote, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which God, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but to all of them also that love his appearing."
I was in the city of Rome in 1896 and went to the prison in which Paul very likely wrote this beautiful letter. Leaving the bright sunlight of Italy, on an August day, I went into a dungeon and there was just enough light to dimly light it up. Then the tonsured monk lighted a little taper, and we went down into a lower dungeon that has been there for centuries and centuries. And I thought of Paul in that dark dungeon writing this beautiful letter: "I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith." And it seems to me, friends, that the very light of Heaven must have come in a flood into that dark dungeon in which he was writing. And so he added: "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which God, the righteous judge, has given to me, and not to me only, but unto all of them also that love his appearance." It is a great thing to finish life with our work done, and well done.
I thought I was going to die some years ago, friends, and there were perhaps six doctors, in the next room talking about my condition, and the doctors said I was in a very dangerous condition. I did not think so, but the doctors said so. But do you know the things that worried me as I thought of dying,--it was the unfinished tasks, the incompleted [uncompleted] things that I had started and had not finished. I was building a great church, a stone church. I had set my heart upon its completion. And Oh, I did pray to the Lord that I might finish that at least, and I did. And, you know, I think when we come to die, we will think very much of the things that are unfinished, the unfinished tasks of life; and Oh, I try now, friends, as I get older to hurry to completion everything I undertake, and leave it completed and finished. "I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, [and] I have finished the course." Oh, for a completed life, and Oh, for a satisfied sense of completed service when the Master calls us home.
And the leaf, friends, is brightest when it fades. You know a great many people think that spring time is the joy of life, that when these branches that have been singing their miserere [misery?] through the weary months of winter, put on their new foliage and every hillside has its carpeting of green, and the first flowers come and are sending out upon the passing breeze their fragrance, and giving color against the green patches of grass, that the spring time seems to be the welcome time of the year. But, you know, I love the fall of the year, I love the autumn, I love the season of the fading leaves. Walking from the station over here this afternoon, I felt I would have fifty times preferred to walk rather than to ride; to feel the joy of coming through the forest on an autumn day. There is a stillness, friends, about the woods, there is a stillness about the air, there is a carrying quality about the atmosphere in the fall of the year that I miss in every other season. And then, friends, I used to love, when I was in Arkansas, to go up into the Ozarks, in the fall of the year. As the train traveled up from the river level, up the mountain side, up and up, arising to an ascent of about sixteen hundred feet above the sea level, and then we could climb to a two thousand foot level. It was something worth while to look down upon the mountain when the first frost had tinted the leaves, and to behold that marvelous sunset of color, all the yellow and gold, and the green and all the mingling colors. That great mountain side seemed to me to be more beautiful than the sunset upon the Mediterranean Sea. That is the time, friends, when the appealing voice in the fading leaf somehow speaks to me a great message from the Father. The leaf is brightest when it fades. I think that is the way of life, friends; it ought to be.
Oh, it is sweet to take a little baby with its eyes of blue, its unfathomed mysteries as you look into the light of its eyes. There must have been, for Jesus took a little child and set him in the midst and said unless you become converted and become like this little child you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The purest thing under the canopy of Heaven, Jesus said, is a little child, that precious thing. But I love to think of life, friends, not in its childhood or youth, but as it is fading out; and as we are leaving behind the life of flesh and blood, the soul life, the divine life and the God life are speaking out their mysterious, wonderful something through the eye and through the hand, speaking to us of that life that is beyond, when we shall be transformed into the likeness, the image of Jesus Christ. It is brightest when it fades. And so, friends, as the fires of life dies, as the passions fade out, as the great physical powers are sinking, there seems to come up out of the soul, out of the inmost life, there seems to come up the likeness of the very Christ, and so out of the "muddy vesture of decay" we see the developement [development] of that spiritual life that is to find its home in glory. And then friends, the leaf fades in hope, in hope, in hope.
Next spring these dry, withered leaves, rattling through winter’s weary months, with every passing breeze, upon these oak branches---you will not have to cut them off; the swelling bud will push them off. They will fall to the ground. And so this life friends, fades in hope. And so the Christian fades in hope; and thus he passes away with the assurance and expectation of the joy that is beyond, "where never fading spring abounds and never withering flowers."
I never can forget, friends, an experience I had in traveling in Switzerland in the month of August, a few years ago, near the place where the river Rhone rises under a great glacier and flows into the great southern reaches of France. And I remember the night I was there. It was freezing a little all night. And early in the morning we got up and went to the Rhone glacier, and walked over a great bed of ice that had been there for centuries and centuries and centuries; and through the great crevasses we could hear the flowing stream and trickling drops, the beginning of the great Rhone river [River]. And then as the sun came up, what a glory! There was a great encircling range of mountains capped with eternal snow, and as the sun came up the peaks were crimsoned with the new light of day. After we had had breakfast, we walked over to the station, or traveled in a carriage, then too the train. Under the mountains there is a very long tunnel between eight and nine miles long. We went into the darkness of that tunnel. The difference between the elevation of the mountain and the valley below is so great that the descent would be too great to go straight down, so the tunnel winds around like a corkscrew and lets you down in that sort of way. And for twenty minutes we were in that darkness. It was almost as much as I could endure to live through those twenty minutes. I think it was the longest twenty minutes of my life. And yet there came all in a moment, as we left the tunnel at the other end, into a valley of Italy, there came the bright glory and glad sunshine, the flowers, the songs of the birds, and the leaping streams down the mountain sides. I said it is wonderful, it is wonderful. This, it seems to me, is what death means. We leave behind the sin and winter and the bitterness, and the momentary darkness is perhaps the experience of death, and then we are ushered into the glad light, into the eternal sunshine, into the never-fading glory of that world beyond that is so beautiful. We know not what we shall be, we do not; but we know that when he shall appear, "we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is."
Beloved friends, I do not want to start anew the fountain of tears. I would not make the aching heart sore again. Rather would I heal it.[?] Yet, I must confess to you that an awful sense of loneliness and loss came over me as I came into this little school house [This appears to be a metaphor for the church the Reverend was speaking in. However, read on.] this afternoon; an awful sense of depression. I felt as if one had left us whose face was always here; whose glad hand was always ready with its manly greeting and whose voice was always vibrant with truth and righteousness,--a manly Christian. And what a good man dear Brother Morson was! I think of him, friends, so much, as a man, as a good man. I was talking a moment ago at the Edwards House to a young man, and we were talking about a merchant, and I said, "He has a good stand for business," but he said, "That isn’t much of a stand," he said, "It is the man that is getting the business, it isn’t the stand at all." Do you know, friends, I have come to look at life that way very much indeed. Back of every contract I make I want to see the man. Back of every piece of goods I buy I want to see the man. Back of every promise and pledge I want to see the man. When I feel there is a man behind every transaction, I am not so particular about how the contract reads, or how the goods look; if I have the pledged word of the man, it means so much. Friends, the greatest thing we are doing in America is making men, making men, and our republic will never die and go into decay as long as we are rearing God-fearing men an women and have in every community such a citizen as this good man was, with the life that was always breathing the very spirit of Christ. What a valuable citizen he was! Why, they tell me in Jackson, when they had one of the meetings for this projected creamery [According to my Dad, A. A. Morson was in the Creamery business], after everybody had spoken, this modest man sat in the corner and said nothing. Somebody called on him to speak and they said he told them more about it than they had ever known about this enterprise. His few words of wisdom revealed a lifetime of experience tersely and clearly put and he sat down as the accepted authority upon the question.
I always felt, friends, that I wanted to know Brother Morson better, I knew him so slightly. You know, there are some people you meet and you do not want to meet them intimately again. And there are some people you meet, and the more you meet them the more you feel their faults and failings. And yet there are some other people the more you meet them the more you like them, and he was the kind of a man to me; the more I knew him the more I loved him, and the more I wanted to know him. He was one of those wonderful men, so simple, so modest, so true, and yet so wonderfully wise, I felt as if I wanted to know him and take him to my heart to love. I have never known a man for such a brief time, who made a deeper impression on my heart than he made. And I am sure you will miss him. You will miss him so much. But I am persuaded that his example and his life will remain in this community of years as a blessed fragrance of the Christ.
And then what a father he was! I have thought so much of this family of children that he and his dear wife [Bessie Eppie Dameron, 1860 - 1835] have brought up. These thirteen children [See list below]. And I have thought of these children, how they have developed, how they have gone out into life to find their place and reflected honor and credit upon their mother and father. And wherever they have gone they have carried his good name unsullied. I think it is a great thing.

You remember the old story in the Roman history we used to learn when we were children. The story of the Graechi,--the mother who lived in a great mansion, beautiful home,--her husband was an illustrious senator. Somebody said to her, when she had shown them everything, "Now, madam, where are your jewels?" She brought her two boys,[;] she said "These are my jewels." I tell you, fathers and mothers, it does not matter how many acres you own, how much bank stock you have, there is not anything that will give you credit quite as much as your noble sons and your splendid daughters,--your children, your children, who grow up to be noble men and women, to do Christ’s work, serve God, and their country. I am sure these children loved this dear father. I am sure they will love his memory. And I am sure our very heart goes out in sympathy and affection and love to this home that has lost the father, the husband and brother, and to this community that has laid away this noble citizen.
I am interested in what you are doing here. I pray that these men, noble men they are, may take up this work and carry it forward, and Van Winkle may feel the influence of the holy work you are doing in this little school house [this confirms it really was a school house and not a church]. And when your daughters and sons have gone forth into the world, may they look back to this place and say, "Right here in this little school house in Van Winkle, it is here I found God and came into the possession of the new life, and there was formed the might resolutions that made my character." I pray that God may bless you all in what you are doing.
Now, we are going to sing this beautiful hymn, "Just As I Am, Without One Plea;" we are going to sing just two verses, the first and last verses.
And I want to say this; if there are those here today who are not Christians, who have never given themselves to the Lord Jesus, while we sing these two verse if you feel you want to declare your faith in Christ, you may come forward and give me your hand and the Lord your heart.
And now may the God of Peach, that brought again the Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the Sheep, through the blood of the everlasting Covenant, make you perfect in all things to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing to His will, through Jesus Christ, the Lord Amen.

Hatıralarımın kalbini dinledim bugün. Tanıdık bir rüzgar doldu penceremden öyle özlem dolu öyle davetkâr eskiye... Ve kulaklarımda o tanıdık beste...
Aslında hep yapmak isteyip de bir türlü yapamadıklarım için miydi bu rüzgâr?... Öyle merhametli öyle şefkatliydi sanki ... Öylece bıraktım rüzgâra kendimi... Biliyordum daha ne kadar üzülebilirdimki?...
Muhayyilemde bir Eylül... Takvimde Eylül... Hazanın mevsimiydi ya mazinin de mi mevsimiydi Eylül?... Canlanan sarı renkler hazana dair miydi yoksa maziye mi bilemedim?... Yaşananlar Eylül’de miydi ondan da emin değildim...
Sızladı içim... Geçti gözümün önünden gözüme bile düşmeyenler... Kim diyebilir ki görünmeyen yâdedilmez ve canlanmaz hatıra olup. Ve kim inkar edebilir gözümün önünden geçenleri?... Aslında görmediklerimi?...
Unutulması gerekeni siler kalp... Bu yüzden unutulmaya da mahkûmdur hatıralar... Hatırda olanlar değil midir yâdedilenler? Ya hatırımdan sildiklerim?... Adına kim hatıra diyebilir ve sildiğimi kim inkâr edebilir?...
Akşam olmuştu griye çalmıştı renkler. Sahi kaç vakittir burada oturuyordum? Kaç kez çalmıştı aynı beste?... Hatırası güzel olan herşeye binbir hürmetle bir tebessüm koydu buraya çekip getiren rüzgâr aynı şefkatle yüzüme...
Ve aynı rüzgâr okşadı saçlarımı. Kendime geldiğimde öylece geziniyordu ellerim ceddin tuğrası kolyemin üzerinde... Sahi kaç şiir yazmıştın buna?... Kalmasın diye hakkın kaç mektup yakmıştım?... Bilsen! Kıyamamıştım...
Tanıdık sesler var maziye dair. Tanıdık resimler sonra... Ve aynı beste... Alıp götüren bugünden düne... Oysa bakınca ne çok hatırayı silmiş kalbim?... Hatırlayamıyorum bile... Bir tek kıymetli olanlar kalmış kıymetsiz gibi görünsede...
Yâdımda ne varsa düne dair ve ne olacaksa yarın, bugüne dair... Hepsinden razıyım! Hatırayı getiren rüzgâr götür beni! Götür beni bir razı olanın yâdında kalayım...
Şafak...

“THE VISIBLE VAGINA”
FRANCIS M. NAUMANN FINE ART
and DAVID NOLAN GALLERY
January 28 – March 20, 2010
Wednesday, January 27, 2010, 6-8 pm at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art
Thursday, January 28, 2010, 6-8 pm at David Nolan Gallery
THE VISIBLE VAGINA is an exhibition jointly organized by Francis M. Naumann and David Nolan. It is scheduled to open at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art (24 West 57th Street) and at David Nolan Gallery (527 West 29th Street) on January 28, 2010. Both shows will run concurrently, ending on March 20, 2010.
As the title of the exhibition suggests, the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display. If shown at all, this part of a woman’s body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men. The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf. This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves). Indeed, until recently, virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure were made by men, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years.
The catalogue for THE VISIBLE VAGINA will trace this motif in art history from prehistoric to modern times. It includes an introduction by the exhibition organizers, as well as a highly informative and provocative essay by Anna C. Chave, Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues, a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998). Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being. The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works. Because of Ensler’s pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world.
The following is a list of the artists whose work will be included in the exhibition (as well as a number whose work is only reproduced in the catalogue): Magdalena Abakanowicz, Ghada Amer, Beth B, Judie Bamber, Tracey Baran, Nancy Becker, Hans Bellmer, Mike Bidlo, Louise Bourgeois, Robert Brinker, Judy Chicago, Carol Cole, Maureen Connor, Gustave Courbet, Tee Corinne, John Currin, Sarah Davis, James Dee, Jay Defeo, Jim Dine, Leo Dohman, Marcel Duchamp, Carroll Dunham, Tracy Emin, India Evans, John Evans, Valie Export, Robert Forman, Neil Gall, Kathleen Gilje, Guerrilla Girls, Nancy Grossman, Barbara Hammer, Jane Hammond, Mona Hatoum, Stanley William Hayter, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, David Humphrey, Paul Joostens, Pamela Joseph, Mel Kendrick, Elisabeth Kley, Jeff Koons, Mark Kostabi, Shigeko Kubota, Zoe Leonard, Sherrie Levine, Lee Lozano, Henri Maccheroni, Chema Madoz, Réné Magritte, Gerard Malanga, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Marcel Mariën, André Masson, Sophie Matisse, Ana Mendieta, Allyson Mitchell, Cathy de Monchaux, Vik Muniz, Wangechi Mutu, Gladys Nilsson, Yoko Ono, Pablo Picasso, Chloe Piene, Richard Prince, Daniel Ranalli, Oona Ratcliffe, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Katia Santibanez, Peter Saul, Naomi Savage, Egon Schiele, Carolee Schneemann, Mira Schor, Michelle Segre, Tom Shannon, Cindy Sherman, James Siena, Laurie Simmons, Kiki Smith, Julie Speed, Nancy Spero, Betty Tompkins, Kiyoshi Tsuchiya, John Tweddle, Tabitha Vevers, Douglas Vogel, Robert Watts, Hannah Wilke, Terry Winters, Beatrice Wood.

Reflection for Today: Does a Church Appearing Fervent Mean That It Has the Work of the Holy Spirit?
Several months ago, I witnessed the pastors in our church vying with each other for the sake of fame and gain and jockeying for position, so much so that they even verbally attacked and disparaged each other during sermons. Their sermons were not enjoyable to listen to, and our spirits went unnourished. Furthermore, there was widespread cooling of the faith of brothers and sisters; they pursued wealth, they coveted physical pleasures and they followed worldly trends, giving all their attention to eating, drinking and having fun. Most of the time, some brothers and sisters simply did not attend gatherings, but instead only came when a disaster occurred in their lives or when there was some important holiday … Faced with this situation in our church, I left to look for a church that had the work of the Holy Spirit . I searched in many places, however, and discovered that most churches were just the same, and I began to lose hope. I recently found a church, however, which often put on shows and held events, and it even had pastors come from overseas to give sermons. The atmosphere in this church was very warm and enthusiastic, and many people attended each gathering. Looking at this church that was so ardent and at the brothers and sisters who attended gatherings so enthusiastically, I thought this must be a church that had the work of the Holy Spirit. It wasn’t long, however, before I discovered that, although appeared ardent, the sermons preached by the pastors were unable to provide benefits for the lives of brothers and sisters and were unable to satisfy our spirits. The singing and dancing that went on only had the effect of changing the atmosphere in the church—while it was going on, we all felt very energetic, but as soon as we sat down to listen to a pastor give a sermon, we would begin to doze off. Moreover, brothers and sisters were always trying to outdo each other with donations and prayers. Whoever donated a lot was considered to be someone who loved , and whoever prayed for a long time and said nice words in their prayers was considered to be a spiritual person…. In this kind of church, the brothers and sisters not only had no honesty or humility but, on the contrary, their vanity just got stronger and stronger and they became more and more hypocritical. They focused on expressing themselves and showing off in front of others and were exceedingly self-righteous and arrogant. Whenever they encountered an issue, they just dealt with it however they wanted, and they didn’t listen to anyone else—they were just not keeping to the Lord’s teachings at all. Faced with this kind of situation in the church, I couldn’t help but wonder: Could such a church that appears to be so fervent from the outside have the work of the Holy Spirit? This question has always perplexed me, so I’d like to ask if you could answer it for me.

Documenta From Wikipedia,
The Fridericianum during documenta (13)
documenta is an exhibition of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany. It was founded by artist, teacher and curator Arnold Bode in 1955 as part of the Bundesgartenschau (Federal Horticultural Show) which took place in Kassel at that time.[1] It was an attempt to bring Germany up to speed with modern art, both banishing and repressing the cultural darkness of Nazism.[2] This first documenta featured many artists who are generally considered to have had a significant influence on modern art (such as Picasso and Kandinsky). The more recent documentas feature art from all continents; nonetheless most of it is site-specific.
Every documenta is limited to 100 days of exhibition, which is why it is often referred to as the "museum of 100 days".[3] Documenta is not a selling exhibition. It rarely coincides with the three other major art world events: the Venice Biennale, Art Basel and Skulptur Projekte Münster, but in 2017, all four were open simultaneously.
Etymology of documenta
The name of the exhibition is an invented word. The term is supposed to demonstrate the intention of every exhibition (in particular of the first documenta in 1955) to be a documentation of modern art which was not available for the German public during the Nazi era. Rumour spread from those close to Arnold Bode that it was relevant for the coinage of the term that the Latin word documentum could be separated into docere (Latin for teach) and mens (Latin for intellect) and therefore thought it to be a good word to describe the intention and the demand of the documenta.[4]
Each edition of documenta has commissioned its own visual identity, most of which have conformed to the typographic style of solely using lowercase letters, which originated at the Bauhaus.[5]
History
Stadtverwaldung by Joseph Beuys, oaktree in front of the museum Fridericianum, documenta 7
Art professor and designer Arnold Bode from Kassel was the initiator of the first documenta. Originally planned as a secondary event to accompany the Bundesgartenschau, this attracted more than 130,000 visitors in 1955. The exhibition centred less on "contemporary art“, that is art made after 1945: instead, Bode wanted to show the public works which had been known as "Entartete Kunst" in Germany during the Nazi era: Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Blauer Reiter, Futurism and Pittura Metafisica. Therefore, abstract art, in particular the abstract paintings of the 1920s and 1930s, was the focus of interest in this exhibition.
Over time, the focus shifted to contemporary art. At first, the show was limited to works from Europe, but soon covered works by artists from the Americas, Africa and Asia. 4. documenta, the first ever to turn a profit, featured a selection of Pop Art, Minimal Art, and Kinetic Art.[6] Adopting the theme of Questioning Reality – Pictorial Worlds Today, the 1972 documenta radically redefined what could be considered art by featuring minimal and conceptual art, marking a turning point in the public acceptance of those styles.[7] Also, it devoted a large section to the work of Adolf Wolfli, the great Swiss outsider, then unknown. Joseph Beuys performed repeatedly under the auspices of his utopian Organization for Direct Democracy.[8] Additionally, the 1987 documenta show signaled another important shift with the elevation of design to the realm of art – showing an openness to postmodern design.[9] Certain key political dates for wide-reaching social and cultural upheavals, such as 1945, 1968 or 1976/77, became chronological markers of documenta X (1997), along which art's political, social, cultural and aesthetic exploratory functions were traced.[10] Documenta11 was organized around themes like migration, urbanization and the post-colonial experience,[11] with documentary photography, film and video as well as works from far-flung locales holding the spotlight.[7] In 2012, documenta (13) was described as "[a]rdently feminist, global and multimedia in approach and including works by dead artists and selected bits of ancient art".[12]
Criticism
documenta typically gives its artists at least two years to conceive and produce their projects, so the works are often elaborate and intellectually complex.[13] However, the participants are often not publicised before the very opening of the exhibition. At documenta (13), the official list of artists was not released until the day the show opened.[14] Even though curators have often claimed to have gone outside the art market in their selection, participants have always included established artists. In the documenta (13), for example, art critic Jerry Saltz identified more than a third of the artists represented by the renowned Marian Goodman Gallery in the show.[14]
Directors
The first four documentas, organized by Arnold Bode, established the exhibition's international credentials. Since the fifth documenta (1972), a new artistic director has been named for each documenta exhibition by a committee of experts. Documenta 8 was put together in two years instead of the usual five. The original directors, Edy de Wilde and Harald Szeemann, were unable to get along and stepped down. They were replaced by Manfred Schneckenburger, Edward F. Fry, Wulf Herzogenrath, Armin Zweite, and Vittorio Fagone.[15] Coosje van Bruggen helped select artists for documenta 7, the 1982 edition. documenta IX's team of curators consisted of Jan Hoet, Piero Luigi Tazzi, Denys Zacharopoulos, and Bart de Baere.[16] For documenta X Catherine David was chosen as the first woman and the first non-German speaker to hold the post. It is also the first and unique time that its website Documenta x was conceived by a curator (swiss curator Simon Lamunière) as a part of the exhibition. The first non-European director was Okwui Enwezor for Documenta11.[17]

2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

lumbung
Short concept by ruangrupa for documenta 15
"We want to create a globally oriented, cooperative, interdisciplinary art and culture platform that will remain effective beyond the 100 days of documenta fifteen. Our curatorial approach aims at a different kind of collaborative model of resource use—economically, but also in terms of ideas, knowledge, programs, and innovation."
ruangrupa’s central curatorial approach for documenta fifteen is based on the principles of collectivity, resource building, and equal sharing. They aim to appeal not just to an art audience but to a variety of communities, and to promote local commitment and participation. Their approach is based on an international network of local, community-based organizations from the art and other cultural contexts and can be outlined by the Indonesian term lumbung. lumbung, directly translatable as “rice barn,” is a collective pot or accumulation system used in rural areas of Indonesia, where crops produced by a community are stored as a future shared common resource and distributed according to jointly determind criteria. Using lumbung as a model, documenta fifteen is a collective resource pot, operating under the logics of the commons. It is an agglomeration of ideas, stories, (wo)manpower, time, and other shareable resources. At the center of lumbung is the imagination and the building of these collective, shared resources into new models of sustainable ideas and cultural practices. This will be fostered by residencies, assemblies, public activities, and the development of tools.
Interdisciplinarity is key in this process. It is where art meets activism, management, and networking to gather support, understand environments, and identify local resources. These elements then create actions and spaces, intertwine social relations and transactions; they slowly grow and organically find a public form. This is a strategy “to live in and with society.” It imagines the relations an art institution has with its community by being an active constituent of it. Strategies are then developed based on proximity and shared desires.
The main principles of the process are:
• Providing space to gather and explore ideas
• Collective decision making
• Non-centralization
• Playing between formalities and informalities
• Practicing assembly and meeting points
• Architectural awareness
• Being spatially active to promote conversation
• A melting pot for and from everyone’s thoughts, energies, and ideas

שיר קודש 'איך לחפש את עקבותיו של אלוהים' (מילים לשיר
I
משום שאנו מחפשים את עקבותיו של אלוהים
חייבים אנו לחפש את רצונו, לחפש את מילותיו ואת אמירותיו,
לחפש את מילותיו ואת אמירותיו.
כי היכן שנשמעות מילותיו החדשות, שם נשמע קולו של אלוהים.
היכן שנראים עקבותיו של אלוהים, שם מעשיו, שם מעשיו.
היכן שנראה ביטויו של אלוהים, שם הופעתו של אלוהים.
ובהופעתו של אלוהים, שם האמת, הדרך ,החיים.
II
בחיפושכם את עקבותיו,
התעלמתם מכך שאלוהים הוא האמת, הדרך והחיים.
לכן כשאנשים רואים את האמת, הם לא מאמינים שמצאו את אלוהים
ועוד פחות מזה הם מזהים את הופעתו.
איזו טעות מרה! איזו טעות מרה!
הופעת האל אינה תואמת את תפיסותיו של האדם,
מובן שאלוהים לא מופיע לבקשתו.
היכן שנראה ביטויו של אלוהים, שם הופעתו של אלוהים.
ובהופעתו של אלוהים, שם האמת, הדרך,החיים.
בעבודתו הוא עושה את בחירותיו, ויש לו תכנית משלו.
יותר מזה, יש לו את מטרותיו ואת השיטות שלו, השיטות שלו.
בשעת עבודתו של אלוהים, אין הוא זקוק לעצתו של האדם,
אין לו שום צורך ליידע כל אחד.
זה טבעו של אלוהים וכל אחד צריך להבין את זה.
III
אם אתם רוצים לחזות בהופעתו של אלוהים,
אם אתם רוצים ללכת בעקבותיו,
אתם צריכים תחילה להשתחרר מתפיסותיכם.
אל לכם לדרוש דבר מאלוהים,
ועוד פחות מזה לשים אותו בתוך גבולות השקפותיכם.
במקום זה שאלו כיצד לחפש את עקבותיו של אלוהים
ולקבל את הופעתו,
ואיך להישמע לעבודתו החדשה,
זה מה שנדרש מכם, נדרש מכם.
מאחר שמלבדו אין עוד אמת,
ואף אחד לא מחזיק בה, לא מחזיק באמת,
האדם צריך לחפש, לקבל וולהישמע.
מאחר שמלבדו אין עוד אמת,
ואף אחד לא מחזיק בה, לא מחזיק באמת,
האדם צריך לחפש, לקבל וולהישמע.

Pasting from Wikipedia: Arnold Arboretum:
• • • • •
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).

Ενσάρκωση
Ο Θεός λέει:« ... Όταν ο Κύριος Ιησούς έζησε με την ανθρωπότητα, είδε αγρότες να φροντίζουν τα χωράφια τους και ήξερε τι ήταν τα ζιζάνια και το προζύμι· καταλάβαινε πως στους ανθρώπους αρέσουν οι θησαυροί, έτσι χρησιμοποίησε τις μεταφορές του θησαυρού και του μαργαριταριού· συχνά έβλεπε ψαράδες να ρίχνουν τα δίχτυα τους, και ούτω καθεξής. Ο Κύριος Ιησούς είδε τις δραστηριότητες αυτές στις ζωές της ανθρωπότητας, όπως και βίωσε αυτού του είδους τη ζωή. Ήταν όμοιος με κάθε άλλο κανονικό άνθρωπο, βιώνοντας τα τρία γεύματα τη μέρα και την καθημερινότητα της ανθρωπότητας. Βίωσε προσωπικά τη ζωή ενός μέσου ανθρώπου και είδε με τα μάτια Του τις ζωές των άλλων. Όταν είδε με τα μάτια Του και βίωσε προσωπικά όλα αυτά, αυτό που σκέφτηκε δεν ήταν το πώς θα έχει μια καλή ζωή ή πώς θα μπορούσε να ζήσει πιο ελεύθερα, πιο άνετα. Όταν βίωνε μια αυθεντική ανθρώπινη ζωή, ο Κύριος Ιησούς είδε τις κακουχίες στις ζωές των ανθρώπων, είδε τις κακουχίες, την εξαθλίωση και τη θλίψη των ανθρώπων υπό τη διαφθορά του Σατανά, των ανθρώπων που ζούσαν υπό τη σφαίρα επιρροής του Σατανά, που ζούσαν στην αμαρτία. Ενώ βίωνε προσωπικά την ανθρώπινη ζωή, βίωσε επίσης πόσο ανήμποροι ήταν οι άνθρωποι που ζούσαν εν μέσω της διαφθοράς, όπως και είδε και βίωσε την αθλιότητα εκείνων που ζούσαν στην αμαρτία, που ήταν χαμένοι στα βασανιστήρια του Σατανά, του κακού. Όταν τα είδε αυτά ο Κύριος Ιησούς, τα είδε με τη θεϊκή ή με την ανθρώπινη φύση Του; Η ανθρώπινη φύση Του υπήρχε πραγματικά, ήταν ολοζώντανη, έτσι Αυτός μπορούσε να τα βιώνει και να τα βλέπει όλα αυτά, ενώ, φυσικά, τα έβλεπε και στην ουσία Του, στη θεϊκή Του φύση. Δηλαδή, αυτά τα είδε ο Χριστός ο ίδιος, ο Κύριος Ιησούς ο άνθρωπος, και όλα όσα είδε Τον έκαναν να νιώσει τη σημασία και την αναγκαιότητα του έργου που είχε αναλάβει, αυτή τη φορά στη σάρκα.... »
