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

A silhouetted capture of the sun I captured on Sunday, 20th October, 2013 at 5.25pm.

The fires were still burning in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney three days after they started. The sky again in Sydney had this amazing red hue from the smoke in the atmosphere, and the sun was so bright and colorful.

  

BUSHFIRES SURROUNDING SYDNEY - The Blue Mountains

(News Article from Thrs 17.10.13)

 

Hundreds of homes may have been lost in Thursday's fires, the worst in more than 10 years, said the Premier Barry O'Farrell.

"It's suspected that by the time we've finished counting it [the loss of homes] will at least be in the hundreds," he said.

It would take days to fully assess the loss, but the Premier was grateful that no lives had been lost.

"I suspect if we get through that without the loss of life, we should all thank God for miracles."

Deputy RFS Commissioner Rob Rogers said the fire situation was the worst he'd seen in more than a decade and the threat was unlikely to ease for some time.

"It was a very warm winter, a very dry winter ... we're not even one month into spring and we've already got this," he told Channel Seven.

The forecast south-westerly change could even make the situation worse.

 

"The worst combination is north-westerly to south-westerly and we've got that now. We've got an incredibly long fire front and there is no sign of any rain coming."

While there would be easing conditions on Friday, the sheer size of the raging fires meant they didn't "need the weather conditions" to continue.

"They are so big they create their own climatic conditions," he said.

Around 100 fires broke out across the state, ranging from Lismore and Tenterfield in NSW's north, to Gloucester and Taree and the Great Lakes on the coast, the Blue Mountains, south to Camden, Wingecarribee near Moss Vale and the Shoalhaven. The fires destroyed homes, pastures and set a petrol station on fire near Wyong. Roads were closed across the state, with back ups of up to 20km on the Hume Highway.

The worst loss of homes was at Springwood in the Blue Mountains, where at least 30 homes were lost.

Ferocious winds fanned the blaze that destroyed the dream home where Joe Moore, Springwood Country Club's golf professional, had lived with his wife and seven children, including four foster children.

"This reminds me of what happened in Melbourne a couple of years ago," Mr Moore said. "Whichever way you look, it was the impossible fire to fight."

There were unconfirmed reports of properties being lost at North Doyalson, on the Central Coast; at Lithgow; at Yanderra and Balmoral, in the Southern Highlands; and in Port Stephens. Newcastle airport was closed and evacuated except for a skeleton staff because of a bushfire at Heatherbrae, 16km away.

Late on Thursday, the NSW Emergency Services Minister Mike Gallacher said the bushfire situation across the state was "very tough going indeed".

"You only need to look out into the sky and see the bloom and ash that is hanging over Sydney," he told ABC. "That's coming from the fires burning in the Blue Mountains."

During the day, more than 8500 homes in the west, south-west and north of Sydney lost power, as wind gusts of up to 70km/h brought branches down on powerlines.

In the Blue Mountains, power was cut to about 4500 homes and businesses in Katoomba, Winmalee and parts of Leura, Blackheath and Mount Victoria.

In the Macarthur region, the worst-affected areas were Wilton, Menangle and parts of Campbelltown.

While the next 24 hours should bring a cool change, it wasn't expected to contain much rain.

In Lithgow, attempts by firefighters to waterbomb a fire were hindered by 90km/h winds, RFS spokesman Joel Kursawe said.

Those winds are capable of carrying embers up to six kilometres.

"The problem is when you've got aircraft over fires like that with [those] winds, a lot of the time they're just getting knocked around in the sky," Mr Kursawe told journalists at RFS headquarters in Sydney.

By late Thursday afternoon, the fires surrounding Sydney had turned the sun into bright red, threatening ball.

"It's an apocalypse out there," said one of the many inner-city workers and residents who were taking of the hulking grey cloud hanging over Sydney.

The clouds were reported to be sending ash down into Sydney's inner city, including as far east as Coogee, prompting NSW Health to issue a bushfire air pollution health warning. It said air quality in many areas was likely to be reduced due to smoke particles.

“Already, smoke from bushfires burning in the Blue Mountains region and Muswellbrook areas has been blown east to Sydney city and coastal suburbs,” said Professor Wayne Smith, the director of the environmental health branch.

“Particle levels are likely to be higher outdoors than indoors, so people sensitive to fine particles should limit the time they spend outside."

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--

 

The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.

Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).

Characteristics[edit]

According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]

 

The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.

A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.

The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]

 

The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.

The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.

Biennials after the 1990s[edit]

The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

—---Venice Biennale from wikipedia —

 

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

History

1895–1947

On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]

A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]

The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.

The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).

During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.

In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.

In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.

During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]

1948–1973[edit]

The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.

1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.

In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.

1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.

The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]

In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").

Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]

1974–1998[edit]

1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]

In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.

In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]

The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.

For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]

1999–present[edit]

In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.

In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).

The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.

The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.

In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.

Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".

The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".

The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]

Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]

The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]

The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]

The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]

The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]

Role in the art market[edit]

When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]

Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]

The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.

Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]

A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi.[37]

National pavilions[edit]

Main article: National pavilions at the Venice Biennale

The Giardini houses 30 permanent national pavilions.[13] Alongside the Central Pavilion, built in 1894 and later restructured and extended several times, the Giardini are occupied by a further 29 pavilions built at different periods by the various countries participating in the Biennale. The first nation to build a pavilion was Belgium in 1907, followed by Germany, Britain and Hungary in 1909.[13] The pavilions are the property of the individual countries and are managed by their ministries of culture.[38]

Countries not owning a pavilion in the Giardini are exhibited in other venues across Venice. The number of countries represented is still growing. In 2005, China was showing for the first time, followed by the African Pavilion and Mexico (2007), the United Arab Emirates (2009), and India (2011).[39]

The assignment of the permanent pavilions was largely dictated by the international politics of the 1930s and the Cold War. There is no single format to how each country manages their pavilion, established and emerging countries represented at the biennial maintain and fund their pavilions in different ways.[38] While pavilions are usually government-funded, private money plays an increasingly large role; in 2015, the pavilions of Iraq, Ukraine and Syria were completely privately funded.[40] The pavilion for Great Britain is always managed by the British Council[41] while the United States assigns the responsibility to a public gallery chosen by the Department of State which, since 1985, has been the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.[42] The countries at the Arsenale that request a temporary exhibition space pay a hire fee per square meter.[38]

In 2011, the countries were Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Congo, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechia and Slovakia, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Haiti, Hungary, Iceland, India, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Wales and Zimbabwe. In addition to this there are two collective pavilions: Central Asia Pavilion and Istituto Italo-Latino Americano. In 2013, eleven new participant countries developed national pavilions for the Biennale: Angola, Bosnia and Herzegowina, the Bahamas, Bahrain, the Ivory Coast, Kosovo, Kuwait, the Maldives, Paraguay, Tuvalu, and the Holy See. In 2015, five new participant countries developed pavilions for the Biennale: Grenada,[43] Republic of Mozambique, Republic of Seychelles, Mauritius and Mongolia. In 2017, three countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Antigua & Barbuda, Kiribati, and Nigeria.[44] In 2019, four countries participated in the Art Biennale for the first time: Ghana, Madagascar, Malaysia, and Pakistan.[45]

As well as the national pavilions there are countless "unofficial pavilions"[46] that spring up every year. In 2009 there were pavilions such as the Gabon Pavilion and a Peckham pavilion. In 2017 The Diaspora Pavilion bought together 19 artists from complex, multinational backgrounds to challenge the prevalence of the nation state at the Biennale.[47]

The Internet Pavilion (Italian: Padiglione Internet) was founded in 2009 as a platform for activists and artists working in new media.[48][49][50] Subsequent editions were held since,[51] 2013,[51] in conjunction with the biennale.[52]

Egidio Zaluaga Murúa, nació en España el primero de septiembre de 1879. Años después se integró a la orden carmelita, donde adoptó el nombre de Fray Clemente de San José, éste llevó una vida ejemplar y en 1923 recibió, de manos de Josefina Larrañaga, una escultura del Niño Dios.

 

La figura era relativamente pequeña, medía 30 cm. de altura, y en sus manos se veían dos palomas. Fray Clemente aceptó con mucho gusto el regalo y lo acompañó durante su estadía en el Convento de Victoria, en Álava, España.

 

Sin embargo al padre le gustaba mucho predicar la Palabra del Señor en todos los lugares posibles; razón por la cual emprendió diferentes viajes, principalmente por la República Mexicana, donde visitó varios estados y la bella escultura siempre fue con él y era su motor para seguir adelante.

 

De esta forma en todos los lugares donde se quedaba, había siempre un pequeño altar, y la gente que observaba al Niño quedaba prendado de él. Los fieles le solicitaban aliviar sus penas, y El Niño Jesús de las Palomitas, (que siempre fue su nombre) escuchaba y atendía sus peticiones, es por ello que cuenta con muchos devotos en varias zonas. Esas palomitas representan principalmente a las almas de los niños a quines tanto ama Jesús precisamente por buenos y sencillos. Pero también, las almas de los adultos. "Si no se hacen como niños no entrarán al reino de los cielos". (Lc. 18,16-17). El niño aprisiona las palomitas en las manos junto a su pecho y a su corazón para mostrarnos las protección y el amor que nos prodigia. Las palomitas también nos traen a la memoria al Espíritu Santo que apareció en forma de paloma cuando Jesús fue bautizado por su pariente Juan.El año de 1973 la señora Doña Catalina padecía una grave enfermedad.

 

Dos religiosas clarisas, tías de la enferma, que vivían en un convento de la vecina ciudad de Zacatecas acudieron solícitas a visitar a la sobrina. Como no tenían ni oro ni plata le llevaron un regalo -milagro en potencia-, una medalla de latón en cuyo anverso aparecía la imagen del Niño de las Palomitas y en el reverso, la de la Virgen del Carmen. Más tardaron las piadosas samaritanas y serviciales religiosas en recomendar a Doña Catalina que se encomendara al Niño y le pidiera su salud, que ella en poner en práctica el providencial consejo. El resultado no se hizo esperar. Sanó la señora. Para ella y para su familia aquello no fue otra cosa que un verdadero milagro. Éste fue uno de los primeros signos, que el Niño de las Palomitas realizara en las tierras coloradas que, crónicamente sedientas, habían debido su pigmento en el altar de los mártires zacatecanos. Saboreado el milagro, Doña Catalina se apresuró a mandar hacer una imagen del Niño, en base a la medalla, para rendirle culto en el oratorio de la Virgen de Fátima. Corría el mes de Abril de 1973, cuando el escultor Don Miguel Juárez terminó la encantadora escultura que fue colocada en el oratorio el 13 de mayo de ese mismo año. El Sr. Canónigo Don Antonio Vela Godina, gran señor, -más por su espíritu que por su estatura- bendijo la sagrada imagen. El milagro de la curación de Doña Catalina fue la chispa del incendio que se propagó en múltiples y centrífugos círculos concéntricos por las rancherías y ciudades circunvecinas y luego por gran parte del país. Pronto se tuvo noticia de otros muchos y señalados favores, conseguidos por mediación del Niño; por lo que la devoción crecía y crecía gracias a la merecida fama de la milagrosa imagen. Ya por los años 1975-76 se tenía popularmente al Niño como muy milagroso. El pequeño oratorio fue recibiendo cada vez más visitantes de todos los sectores sociales. Algunos iban a dar gracias por el favor recibido. Otros, a implorar la protección y ayuda del Divino Niño. Dejaban como prueba de su gratitud y de su fe la clásica veladora, el milagro de oro o de plata, flores naturales o ratifícales.

 

Tacoaleche, Zacatecas es el lugar donde permanece actualmente y ahí se reúnen miles de fieles procedentes de diferentes estados de la República, y también de algunos países centroamericanos y de USA para agradecer al Niño por algún algún favor recibido y el día 7 de enero es su festejo, razón por la cual no sólo la población sino todos sus fieles están de manteles largos dando gracias a Dios por tan Divina presencia.

 

Las palomas que el Niño sostiene en sus manos simbolizan el amor, la fe, la paciencia y la sabiduría, sin olvidarnos de la inocencia, la pureza y la bondad que encierra a todos los hijos de Dios.

  

Oración al SANTO NIÑO DE LAS PALOMITAS

  

Oh Divino Niño Jesús de las Palomitas, Hijo del Padre, Dios y Hombre verdadero, nacido de Santa María Virgen. Nos acercamos a Ti, con humildad y confianza, a suplicarte que ejerzas tu bondad y tu misericordia en favor nuestro. Que se nos apliquen los merecimientos que nos lograste con tu vida, pasión, muerte y resurrección, para que convertidos a Ti, y a nuestros hermanos, podamos conseguir el cielo que nos tienes prometido. Y así, poder vivir felices eternamente contigo en compañía del Padre y del Espíritu Santo. Así sea

 

CANTO OFICIAL AL NIÑO DE LAS PALOMITAS

 

(Llegada a su santuario)

 

Oh Niño Divino de las Palomitas,

con mucho cariño te hago esta visita.

 

Dios Padre del cielo nos manda escucharte;

oírte queremos, Jesús, y adorarte.

 

Oh Niño bendito, nos perdonas siempre

cuando arrepentidos venimos a verte.

 

Aquí de rodillas, prometo mi Dios,

vivir nueva vida; dame tu perdón.

 

Condúcenos, Niño, al reino del cielo;

Verdad y Camino y Luz de los ciegos.

 

La Virgen y Madre del Niño Jesús

desea que me salve, cargando mi cruz.

 

José, fiel esposo y padre nutricio,

concédeme el gozo de hallar a tu Hijo.

 

Amamos al Papa y a nuestros Obispos

y a la Iglesia Santa, de quien somos hijos.

 

Despedida de su santuario

 

Nos vamos, oh Niño,

nos vamos de aquí

>con llanto y suspiros,

pero no sin Ti.

 

Adiós, Niño hermoso

de las Palomitas;

son lindos tus ojos,

también tus manitas.

 

Bendice con ellas

a los caminantes,

que dejan las huellas

de sus pies sangrantes.

 

Protégenos, Niño,

y a nuestras familias,

que por los caminos

hay piedras y espinas.

 

La paz llevaremos

a nuestros amigos,

y les contaremos

que vimos al Niño.

 

Queremos volver,

Jesús lindo y bueno,

que volverte a ver

será nuestro empeño.

 

The Arctic Circle marks the southern extremity of the polar day (24-hour sunlit day, often referred to as the "midnight sun") and polar night (24-hour sunless night). North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ... and this was right now when I took this photo at 0:00 hrs

 

This photo was taken att 0:00 hrs today

The area can be defined as north of the Arctic Circle (66° 33'N), the approximate limit of the midnight sun and the polar night.

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

Sources of picture and information--Salvatore Nardello, Jim McHugh, Don Irland and Loren Stewart.

 

This club had 47 roster players. Look them up on my blog if you are curious as to who they were The site also list whether they are living, deceased or their fate never determined.

.http://komleaguebaseball.blogspot.com/2008/01/names.html Of those depicted in the team photo only Sal Nardello (New Jersey),, Bob Jenkins (Florida) and Jack Chatham (North Carolina) survive.

 

Tidbits about some of the guys in the photo:

 

This team competed, in 1949, against other clubs who had players by the names of Jake Thies, Harry Bright, Mickey Mantle, Bob Speake, Steve Kraly, Bob Wiesler, Lou Skizas and Bill Upton all of whom made it to the big leagues.

 

Jeptha McCormick was an Airman First Class during the Korean War and died in 2003 in North, South Carolina.

 

Joe Lyles went to St. Louis University when the 1949 baseball season concluded and was a teammate of "Easy Ed" McCauley." Lyles coached for 50 years at Washington and Lee. Here is his obituary: www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth-oai:2z10x...

 

Bob Jenkins had the longest and most productive career of any of those in the photo. He played at Miami, OK in 1950 and then went on to play up to the Triple A level for four big league franchises through 1960. He had a lifetime .302 batting average. He even hit .310 in the Pacific Coast league for Los Angeles in 1957. He concluded his career in 1962 when he played in Japan for the Kintetsu Buffaloes.

 

John Edward Chatham was a radio and TV personality in Greensboro, NC for a number of years. He also was a high school coach. In his time with Pittsburg he came as close as anyone of hitting his weight. He weighed 170 and hit .167. That is consistency.

 

Jim McHugh lived in Philadelphia and was a huge fan of Jimmy Foxx as a youngster. McHugh shared letters with me that he sent to Foxx and those he received from the slugger when Foxx was injured one season.

 

Olan Smith not only led the nation in college basketball scoring with a 24.6 per game average for Defiance College in 1945-46 but he also led the nation in free throws.

 

A member of this team told me that another member of the team ended his life by jumping from a skyscraper in the Midwest. I was never able to verify the details of the death but know when it purportedly occurred.

 

James Leroy Stevens is the only person in that photo I never located. He was born 1/11/1931 (not 1932 as shown in some circles) in Asheville, NC. He played four seasons of pro ball. After his days with the Browns, at Pittsburg, he played three more years in the Phillies organization. I think he may be living in Maryland. Let's find this guy and bring him to an "accounting."

Flash Report for

Week of

April 12-18, 2015

 

Introduction:

 

Not many people responded to the Flash Report for the past week and I don’t expect anything much different this time around. A couple of people did comment that there was a lot of “stuff” in the previous report. My response was on the order of “I’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.”

 

So, in that spirit I share one comment about the volume of the previous report and then go into a couple of stories you can go through, at your leisure, during the coming week.

____________________________________________________________________

Billy Parker, Ernest Tubb, Hank Iba and Joe B. Hall story:

 

John, I don't know if I will be able to remember all the things you touched on in the new KOM Flash Report but ...

 

I did not know that Joe B. Hall and Hank Iba coached at Central Missouri, which you might remember is where I got my undergraduate degree. Go Mules! I did know about Kim Anderson and this horrible MU season. When I got to CMS (now UCM), I called the baseball coach to walk on for the spring of 1970 but by the time that rolled around I was no longer interested (I was pushing 25 years old by then - after 4 years in the service). I do still have 3 years of college eligibility left if anyone is looking for a 70 year old second baseman!

 

My mind was blown by Billy Parker being the writer of Thanks a Lot. ET (Ernest Tubb) is one of my all-time favorite country singers and I remember him from when I was a really young kid. He had the deepest, richest voice. Made that way I've been told by the consumption of fine and not so fine whiskey.

 

Anyway, a super informative Flash Report with lots of your personal history as well as the ballplayers'.

______________________________________________________________________

A bit of baseball history few ever heard about.

 

Last fall one of my readers was playing a lot of softball in New England and feeling his oats. He picked up a bunch of trophies for his pitching prowess, in the over 80 category, and probably figured he was young again. Well, in doing some work he was carrying a large object up a flight of stairs and what happened next I won’t describe in detail. However, he has been a resident in some of the best hospital and rehabilitation facilities along the eastern seaboard including Beth Israel Hospital in Boston.

 

When he isn’t fussing with his political opposite friends, on the Internet, he manages to read the Flash Reports and remembers what he reads. He noticed a recent article concerning former ball players, with Carthage, who wound up marrying girls from there. He asked if I knew that he once bought a diamond ring for a young lady and then didn’t have the nerve to give it to her. I told him that I not only knew who the young lady was but I was the batboy he sent into the grandstand to secure her telephone number for him.

 

Not many ballplayers stayed in the town in which they played over the winter. The only ones, who ever did that, to my knowledge, were the guys who fell in love and wanted to hang around as long as possible even though they knew that when baseball started the next spring they would be gone. This fellow had a stretch of luck for he was hired by Carthage Marble Corporation to work for the winter and the following spring the team to whom the Cubs assigned him, the Sioux Falls, SD Canaries, trained at Carthage along with the Janesville, WI Cubs, Topeka Owls and the host Carthage Cubs. So, he had a bit longer to give the diamond ring to the young lady from whom I got her telephone number but he didn’t take advantage of that opportunity. But, neither has he forgotten the summer of 1951. That is why, when he gets bored, he calls and we talk about a place and time that is now as foreign to both of us as living on another planet.

 

Not many of the Carthage players ever remembered me and didn’t know me when they were there except when they wanted something.. There are two who do--the current ailing former right-handed pitcher from Corwith, Iowa and Don Biebel from Oshkosh ”By Gosh” Wisconsin. The first recollection I have of the guy now living in New England was when he would sit in the dugout and read to anyone who would listen the mail he had received from home. One letter in particular stands out in my memory. He had a family member who was employed by John Deere and was making $275 a month. He would moan about his pitiful baseball salary and tell the few who would listen that he had to get back home and get a job making that kind of money.

 

After the baseball season concluded the boy from Corwith was working for Carthage Marble and on Saturday afternoons, in the Southeast Conference, there was a young man playing for the University of Tennessee from Belle Vernon, PA. The young man was a defensive back and the possessor of a “Golden Toe.” When graduation arrived for the Tennessee All-American football player he had to decide whether to play professional football or baseball. He was signed by the Cleveland Indians and played a few games with Reading, PA in the Eastern league in 1952.

 

A number of years ago the former Carthage Cub hurler, from Corwith, IA, told me an improbable story but had a newspaper clipping to back it up. This is an article carried in the Daily Republican published in Monongahela, PA on Monday July 14, 1952. This article is not that from the game but setting up who the new member of Fargo-Moorhead was. www.newspapers.com/newspage/58059401/ For those of you who don’t do URL’s here’s what it said. “FARGO, N. D., July 14 Bert Rechichar of Belle Vernon, captain of Tennessee's 1951 national collegiate football champions is debating whether to make professional football or baseball his career. The Cleveland Indians organization has sent Rechichar here until July 19 as an outfielder with tie Fargo - Moorhead Twins, of the Northern League. After July 19 he will report to the All-Star football squad and later the Cleveland Browns professional team.”

 

For the younger readership things were a bit different in those days. A football game was held in August of each year between the best of the college all-stars and the winner of the National Football championship the previous year. www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/3215.html Rechichar was under contract to both the Cleveland Indians and Browns at that time.

 

When Rechichar arrived in Fargo-Moorhead he was touted as an outfielder. Upon his arrival he met his new manager Danny Litwhiler who had a major and minor league career dating back to 1936. There are many references to Litwhiler. This one is his obituary. www.legacy.com/ns/danny%20-litwhiler-obituary/153774330 Anyway, Litwhiler had other things in mind for the five-day span that his new player would be on the roster and here is the account I received on April 10, 2015 from my buddy Walt Babcock. It was written as he writhed in agony but would do anything to help me publish a better Flash Report.

 

Babcock’s account of a mid-July game between the Sioux Falls, SD Canaries and the Fargo-Moorhead Twins follows. He would have sent the clipping but in his current condition can’t get to his files.

 

“John, this is coming from my memory so don’t expect it to be 100% accurate, but it will be close. The game was started as the sun was going down. The umpires let us bat and then they turned the light on. Our manager, Al Kubski, thought they should be fair and turn them off until Fargo-Moorhead batted. Well, he didn’t win the argument and the umpires kicked him out of the game. Not only that, but the bench got on the umpires so unmercifully they kicked all of them out of the game. It left us with nine players on the field. We went nine innings and the game was tied with the score knotted at 1-1. Anyway, it went 16 innings. I had two outs in the 16th and their catcher (Ed note: Andrew Lano) came up and hit a triple off the centerfield wall and tried to stretch it into a homerun. Our catcher, Don Biebel, was waiting with the ball to tag him out but he (Lano) hit him so hard he dropped the ball and we lost 2-1.

 

Danny Litwhiler was sent down from the majors to be the Fargo-Moorhead player/manager the day before. (Ed note: Litwhiler joined the Fargo-Moorhead club on June 17 becoming their third manager that year.) Well, as a result of kicking the players off the bench, our bus driver situated the bus just outside the right field wall and the players who were kicked out got on top of the bus to heckle the umpires for sixteen innings. It made for a little more excitement. After the game we all (nine of us) walked back to the bus so we could get back to the hotel to shower. The facilities weren’t the best at the ball park.

 

Well, to top off the unusual game, Danny Litwhiler walked all the way out to the bus and asked a couple of the guys where Babcock was. Their comment was that he is in the back of the bus crying. Anyway, Danny come on the bus and told me that was the best game he had ever witnessed. He said, ‘Bert and you really hooked up in a good one.’ Then he added a comment, ‘You are the only pitcher ever to strike me out four times in a row.’ I didn’t realize that I had struck him out at all. Anyway, that was such a nice compliment to have the opposing manager that accolade to an opponent. I lost the game but the only salvation I has was to think about my ERA of one for a 16 inning game. That brought down my ERA a little.”

 

As an after thought, I have always wondered how many pitches I threw that night, with the pitch count being so important today. Another little nugget was Bert had the longest field goal in professional football until Tom Dempsey took it from him. Usually, not many guys played two professional sports at once.

 

Ed comment:

 

Rechichar gave up baseball after the 1953 season when he bounced around Reading, Spartanburg and Rock Hill. He played professional football through 1961. On the other hand Babcock was off to the service after the 1952 season and managed to play with a National Baseball Congress Championship team in 1953. He played with the Ft. Leonard Wood Hilltoppers along with the likes of Dick Gray, Jerry Lumpe, Whitey Herzog, Eddie Kasko and Pete Burnside who all made it to the big leagues.

 

After the service Babcock returned to the Cub organization. He pitched at Des Moines and Burlington in his native Iowa. While at Burlington he was told he was going to be sent to Paris. The problem was the Paris was in Illinois not France. The Cubs fed him the story they were thinking about making a manager out of him. He told the Cubs it was time for him to get back and finish college, which he did.

 

After college he got on a roll. He worked many years for the Timken roller bearing company.

Construction of an article starts off on a tip.

 

When the note was received regarding the death of a one-game former big league pitcher I had no idea it would consume the greatest portion of this Flash Report. The name sparked a couple of memories and I was “off to the races.” This report is a sequential account of the information I was uncovering. Thus, if you skip around in this report you may think some of the comments are inconsistent, but they aren’t.

 

The following is how articles in the Flash Reports get hatched and sometimes a “good egg is laid.”

 

First e-mail message of the week:

John I noticed you’ve sent me a number of emails. We are just getting home from spending two weeks on a Caribbean cruise. I just noticed the death of former pitcher Harley Hisner. Not exactly a household name however he did get into one big league game. He was the starting pitcher for the Red Sox in their final game of the 1951 season at Yankee Stadium. The first batter he faced was Mantle batting leadoff that game and the result was a Hisner strikeout. He also struck Mantle out in his next at bat. However, the end result was a Boston loss with Harley being the losing pitcher.

 

Thanks for the emails; I’ll check them out soon. Barry—Ladysmith, British Columbia

 

Ed reply:

 

You might want to toss all those backed up e-mails and wait for the next batch. I didn't have much to share in any of them. Mine are about death and or dying.

 

Hisner’s time with the Ft. Wayne Allen Dairymen is far more interesting to me than his one big league game. The Dairymen club had some good talent. Their big batsman was Harry Olan Smith who had two stints as a player and manager at Pittsburg, Kansas. Hisner won his four games in the NBC tournament in 1957. He participated in that tournament two different years with them.

 

Barry’s reply:

 

I’m always amazed as to see how much you know about the players I mention to you.

 

Ed reply:

 

I don't know much, just what I read and someone tells me. Ft. Wayne always had strong representation in the NBC tourney they won it a number of times in the 40's and a couple of times in the 50's. Hisner played on the second place team in 56 and the championship team in 57. Ft. Wayne had a number of sponsors over the years. The winner of the NBC tourney would then play for the world championship.

 

Here is the best article on the Internet about him.

www.decaturdailydemocrat.com/content/one-time-it-s-brough... A great trivia question would be “How many guys with the name of Parnell played for the Red Sox?”

 

This will be my last bit on Hisner. He always went by the name of Parnell in his amateur days. You know why he did that. He was really a "hired gun" after his pro career was over. In 1955-56-57-58. He played on top tier semi-pro teams that made it to the NBC tourney. He was with St. Joseph, MI in 1955, Ft. Wayne in 1956-57 and then with Anderson, Indiana in 1958. In those four years he had a 7-3 record in the National Tourney and in 1958 he tossed a no-hitter against Grand Rapids, Michigan. By that time he was 32 years old and never got back with a team that made it to Wichita. I think his obituary indicated he played semi-pro ball four more years. I imagine someone doing research on his semi-pro career would find it far more fascinating than his professional one. I'll bet he also had more fun at the semi-pro level and probably made more money in the process.

 

Hisner was the 13th pitcher to throw a no-hitter in the history of the NBC tournament. By the time he did it the tourney was in its 23rd year of existence. A number of guys won four games in a single tournament in Wichita. In fact, Hisner wasn't the best pitcher on the Ft. Wayne championship and runner up teams in 1956-57 with Ft. Wayne. That honor went to Walt Wherry. He won five games and lost none at the 1956 tourney. They lost out to the Plymouth Oilers of Sinton, Texas in 1957 when Hisner won his four games. But, the top pitcher in that tournament was Bob Giggie who also won four. I imagine you have some Bob Giggie baseball cards.

 

So much for that subject. I'll bet Hisner was just learning to pitch when he quit pro ball.

  

Barry’s reply:

 

Well I know a lot more about Hisner than what I knew yesterday. I’m sure Harley would have had many memories from his baseball days.

 

Walt Wherry played softball for a Pet Shop in Newport, KY and for a restaurant team in Covington, KY up through 1959 and was the MVP of Kentucky softball a couple of times. He must have been a heckuva’ athlete.

  

Ed comment:

 

With the transmission of the last note to McMahon I was through with Hisner but my curiosity was then peaked by the name of Walter Vernon Wherry. I had seen that name many times in my KOM research since a person by that name had started out in the Pittsburgh Pirate organization in 1948. However, in looking at Baseball-Reference they had a Walter Joseph Wherry listed as the Pittsburgh minor leaguer so I knew I was in for a couple of hours of digging around old files.

 

Right off I saw that Walter Vernon Wherry was born on May 26, 1927 in Covington, Kentucky and was shown as graduating from Holmes High School in 1949 which made me take a second glance to see if I had the right person.

 

In the course of searching for old ballplayers, for the past two decades, I’ve learned a couple of things, the primary one, don’t jump to conclusions. So, I sent an e-mail to Jack Morris who knows the fate of thousands of former ballplayers. Here is what I shared with him. “I had a note from a reader regarding the recently departed Harley Parnell Hisner. I told the person contacting me that I felt Hisner's best years were in the semi-pro ranks when he took four teams to the National Baseball Congress tournament in Wichita, KS in 1955-56-57- & 58. He was with St. Joseph's, Mich. in 55 and then to Ft. Wayne in 1956-57 and then on to Anderson, Ind. in 1958. He tossed a no-hitter in the 1958 NBC tournament. He was one of the few guys to win four games in one tournament at Wichita. The others I recall were Satchell Paige, Bob Giggie and Herman Besse.

 

As well as Hisner pitched he wasn't the best hurler for Ft. Wayne. That honor went to Walter Vernon Wherry. He won five games in the 1957 tournament and also beat the Japanese at the World tournament that year in Milwaukee. I have always had a little interest in the Ft. Wayne semi-pro teams since Harry Olan Smith played for them a number of years and alternated between that club and the Pittsburg, Kansas Browns on four occasions.

 

In looking at Baseball Reference I see a Walter Joseph Wherry who played in the Pirate organization from 1948 through 1951. He was a teammate with a number of guys who played with Bartlesville of the KOM league. It appears my Walter Wherry went into the Korean War and when he came out he started playing semi-pro ball. After his tenure with Ft. Wayne he went to Covington, Kentucky where he picked up the game of softball and become one of the top players in the state playing for a pet store in Newport and a restaurant in Covington. He later got involved in slow-pitch softball and even managed a team in Cincinnati as late as 1977.

 

I have a lot of biographical inform on Walter Vernon Wherry and since his age parallels that of Walter Joseph Wherry I wonder if they could be the same person? I have DOB, high school and all that kind of stuff.

 

Hisner's death poses a great trivia question. Spring this on your buddies. "How many pitchers did the Boston Red Sox have, in the 1950's, with the name of Parnell?" By the way, when Hisner played amateur ball, after his professional days were over, he always went by "Parnell." I don't have to give that much thought as to why he did so.

  

Morris’s reply:

 

John, I think you’re on to something. The Walt Wherry who played in the Pirates organization was from Covington, KY. So I’d say it’s pretty certain they are one and the same guy.

 

Ed reply:

 

This guy was remarkable. He played softball and semi-pro baseball in the same years and at high levels. www.angelfire.com/ks/erlanger/wherry.html

 

Comment:

 

It is probably the general consensus of the readership that this article is about Harley Parnell Hisner and Walter Vernon Wherry but hold on. Here is my KOM league angle on the story. This was shared with Jack Morris.

 

I thought Wherry was the same guy who played in the Pirate organization but didn't want to make a claim I couldn't prove.

This story now gets me back to a KOM league angle. Tom Imfeld played for the Independence, KS Yankees in 1947 and then played on the 1950 Chanute team. He managed the Chanute club for a little while during a change in managers.

When the season was drawing near the end it was not only the close of that season, but the franchise. The team crowned a queen by the name of Norma Briner. When Imfeld placed the tiara on her head he said "Norma, if I don't marry you, I'll never marry." This resulted in one of my most memorable ventures into finding former KOM leaguers. In 1954 Norma learned that Imfeld has just graduated from St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul, MN. www.stthomas.edu/spssod/ That is the last she ever heard of him until I came along in 1994 looking for “long lost” former KOM leaguers.

 

Many attempts to find him failed and one day I went to a local Catholic parish and was told there was a Father Thomas J. Imfeld, Emeritus, in Covington, KY. I called him and he said he'd talk with me when I found Norma. Well, I didn't know how to go a about finding a lady who obviously had changed her last name since 1950. I scrambled around and found where she lived and sent the information to Imfeld. We talked a couple of times on the telephone during that summer and fall and that was about the extent of things. Then, Christmas arrived and I had a card from Norma (last name no longer was Briner) who wrote that she didn't know if I believed in Angels or not but that I was one. She said that since 1954 she had prayed that if she could see Father Tom, from afar and know that he was happy in his decision to become a priest that she could die a contented woman. She said I had made that possible and that Father Tom had paid a visit that summer to take her out for dinner. He came to a number of KOM reunions after that and became the “official prayer” for anything at the reunions that needed the blessing of the Almighty.

 

My communication with Imfeld went on for a number of years. His first parish was Covington and while a serving there he played on two American Softball Association championship teams. He even played on a world championship team. He was good enough to have been on the All-ASA team of the decade for the 1950's. He told me about his softball days when I spoke with him over the years and he even had team photos which he shared. In searching through the ASA material he and Walter Vernon Wherry were teammates on at least two ball clubs. Tom was a pitcher for a team sponsored by Lang's Pet Store in Covington and Wherry played shortstop and the outfield. Wherry was also on the All-ASA team of the decade for the 1950's.

In looking at Wherry his talents were very impressive. He would play on championship softball teams all summer and then when it was time for them to enter national and world tournaments on two occasions he headed to Ft. Wayne to help them win the Indiana amateur championship and then go with them to Wichita for the NBC tournament. Of all the great pitchers who played in that tourney only Wherry won five games in one tournament.

 

Wherry played on the same team with a number of former KOM leaguers who I knew pretty well. Too bad Brandy Davis and Tom Imfeld have passed on. Pete Maropis is still living and on my mailing list. They played together one year and I'm going to contact him to see what he recalls about Wherry.

Wherry has a birthday in May (26) and will be 88. I think he is probably living with his daughter in Covington and if I thought he was interested in talking, and could still do it, I'd make contact with him.

One thing that puzzled me a bit was that he was listed as a 1949 graduate of Holmes High School. That would have made him 22. Maybe he dropped out to play ball for a couple of years and then went back. And, the other option is that the site that shows his graduation year is wrong.

Anyway, I think Walter Joseph Wherry is Walter Vernon Wherry and that his best ball was played on Northern Kentucky slow pitch softball teams and with Ft. Wayne in the NBC tournament in Wichita.

 

The following are some sites where the readers can view the data on what I’ve claimed about the softball careers of Father Thomas Imfeld and Walt Wherry.

 

www.cincysoftball.com/all-century-teams/---This site lists Walt Wherry atop the all-century list of softball players in the Cincinnati area.

www.angelfire.com/sd/slopitch/honor.html This site lists Tom Imfeld and Walt Wherry as members of the all-decade team for the 1950’s/

www.angelfire.com/ks/erlanger/wherry.html Additional material on Wherry.

www.angelfire.com/sd/slopitch/photo1.html This is a site with a lot of photos. Tom Imfeld is in the sixth photo as you scroll down. He was a member of the Lang’s Pet Shop World Championship team in 1955.

www.attheplate.com/wcbl/1956_1g8.html This is the best of the team photos of the Allen Dairymen from Ft. Wayne. Most of those players at one time played pro baseball along with three of whom played in the Negro leagues of that era

 

That is a primer and if you want more references they are on Google.

 

When I first saw Walt Wherry mentioned as pitching for Ft. Wayne my interest was sparked since the KOM league had a Wherry of its own in 1947. That was Kendall Wherry who played youth baseball, in Chicago, as had Boyd Bartley and then joined Ponca City, in 1947 where Bartley was the player/manager. Wherry didn’t stay with baseball very long. He went to college, became an attorney and later served as a Federal judge. There was no relation between Walt and Kendall Wherry. Kendall Wherry retired to Ft. Myers, Florida and he still lives there.

 

Most of you have probably forgotten the obituary I shared regarding Father Tom Imfeld in November of 2012. You can view it on Find-A-Grave or read it right here. One thing the obituary didn’t list was the place of death. He died in Morristown, Tenn. He had visited with a parishioner who lived in a home there and Father Tom asked the family if, when he could no longer make it on his own, would they care for him. The family was Protestant and they welcomed a retired priest into their midst.

Birth: Jun. 12, 1923

Covington

Kenton County

Kentucky, USA

Death: Nov. 6, 2012

Tennessee, USA

 

Father Thomas J. Imfeld , age 89, passed away on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 in Tennessee.

 

Thomas J. Imfeld was born on June 12, 1923, to Nicholas and Anna Meyer Imfeld of 315 Crescent Avenue, Covington, Kentucky, and was welcomed home by his older siblings, Idamae and Robert. He attended St. Patrick Elementary School and graduated from Holmes High School in 1941. After graduating from Holmes High, he worked at a wholesale grocery store for approximately one year, and then volunteered for service in the United States Marine Corps on the Feast of Immaculate Conception, December 8, 1942, in the height of World War II. He completed basic training in San Diego, and then was sent to the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) for approximately two years of active military duties. Imfeld returned to the states, sent by the Marine Corps to the University of Michigan in preparation for Officers School. While in Michigan, the war ended, and he received an honorable discharge from the U.S.M.C. Imfeld continued his education at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, on the G.I. bill, where he received his degree in education and administration. After college, he played professional baseball for five years, played on the world champion softball team for four years, and worked as an electrician in the off season. Following two, not so subtle calls (from above), he knew his vocation was to the priesthood. Upon completing the seminary education at Holy Cross (minor) Seminary in LaCrosse, WI, and St. Paul (major) Seminary in St. Paul, MN, Thomas Imfeld was ordained a priest of the Covington Diocese, on May 30, 1959, by the Most Reverend Paul Leibold, Auxiliary Bishop of Cincinnati.

 

Upon his ordination, Father Imfeld was assigned as assistant pastor at St. Mark Church in Richmond, Kentucky, and helped start the Newman Center at Eastern Kentucky University. He served in Richmond for about two years. When the pastor of the Cumberland and Lynch parishes had a heart attack,

 

Fr. Imfeld was asked to help out for a couple of months. This "temporary" assignment turned into a 22 year term as pastor at St. Stephen and Resurrection Parishes. He then moved on to Ravenna, where he was pastor at Saint Elizabeth parish for nine years, and was instrumental in starting a parish in nearby Stanton and building Our Lady of the Mountains Church.

 

Fr. Imfeld "retired" in the early 1990's and came to Sacred Heart in Corbin at the request of Father Roger Arnsparger. In retirement, he continued to be a very active part of Sacred Heart's parish family.

 

Funeral mass will be conducted by Bishop Ronald Gainer at 11 am Saturday, November 10, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Interment will be in the Calvary Cemetery in Lexington.

 

Visitation will be held from 4-7 pm on Thursday and Friday at the Vankirk-Grisell Funeral Home. A Rosary will be said at 6:30 pm Thursday at the funeral home with an evening prayer service at 5pm on Friday.

  

Burial:

Calvary Cemetery

Lexington

Fayette County

Kentucky, USA

 

Now to close out the story on Walter Vernon Wherry. His minor league career in the Pirate organization saw him play alongside these former KOM leaguers. If any of you guys remember him let me know. Or if you wish to get in touch with him I think I can point your in the right direction. The former teammates were: Forrest Briggs, Calvin Frazer, Bill Herring, Pete Maropis, Bill McFarland, Roy Theophilus Upright, Louis Tond, John “Skip” Baas, Brandy Davis, Ronnie Kline, Jake Thies, Ed Wolfe and John L. Moore. All of the aforementioned played for Bartlesville, in the KOM, with the exception of Bill McFarland, Skip Baas and Jake Thies. Those three were drafted by the Pirates from the Yankees, Browns and Giants.

 

Among the names listed only John L. Moore has stumped me. He played a few years in the Pittsburgh Pirate chain. If anyone knows when he was born, exactly when and where, I know a baseball researcher in Keokuk, Iowa who would be as pleased as punch to know about it.

_______________________________________________________________________

Again, I’m done but think I’ll do one more thing

By clicking on this site you will find the obituary of an impressive man. His name was Harry Olan Smith. I have long known about him in my research and even have glossy prints of him while a member of four Pittsburg Brown teams (1946-47-49-50). Smith played first base and managed the team in three of those four seasons. His longest tenure at Pittsburg was in 1950. He was replaced by Jimmy Crandall so that he could go back home to teach. He had replaced Shannon Deniston as manager in 1948 and Al Barkus in 1949. His obituary is found at the following site: I’m not printing it here. If you wish to see it and can’t access it let me know and I’ll send you the entire text. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=79659790

 

The following is on his grave marker:

OLAN SMITH, EDUCATOR, ATHLETE, LEADING SCORER IN THE NATION IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL, 1945-56 DEFIANCE COLLEGE, AND A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL BASEBALL CONGRESS CHAMPIONS THREE TIMES—VETERAN AND HUMANITARIAN

The end:

This report will probably go on the Flickr site in the near future. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/17086976836/

By placing a team photo on that site and identifying those in the photo, it provides me the opportunity to add to that report as many times as I like with regard to that particular team. If it goes up there I have decided to post it under a photo of the 1949 last place Pittsburg, KS Browns who were managed by none other than Harry Olan Smith. He was born in Defiance, OH and lived there all his life. However, he died 47 miles west of there in Ft. Wayne, Indiana on October 17, 1974, where he had gone shopping. Watch out guys shopping isn’t for men.

Playing for, and managing a last place ball team, will reveal character like few other things. Maybe Leo Durocher was right when he said “Nice guys finish last.” Smith was a nice guy.

Now, I’m really, really finished.

There is total disagreement about the origin of this breed. Spotted dogs are known throughout history in Africa, Europe and Asia. The breed may be related to the Pointer. Traces of spotted dogs are found in Egyptian bas-reliefs and Hellenic friezes, so it certainly is an ancient breed. In 1700 a dog known as the Bengal pointer, similar to the Dalmatian, existed in England, calling into question the Dalmatians Yugoslavian origin. Some claim the Dalmatian is a Croatian breed. Efforts to have it recognized as a Croatian breed had been rejected, up until 1993, when the FCI did finally recognize the Croatian roots of the Dalmatian dog, although they continue to deny Croatia standard patronage rights over the breed. In the Middle Ages it was used as a hound. The breed became popular as a carriage dog in the 1800s. They trotted beside and among the horses and carriages, very reliably following their masters, guarding the carriages and horses while the master was occupied elsewhere. Very hardy with great stamina, it was able to easily keep up whether its master was on foot, on horseback, or in the carriage. The versatile Dalmatian has seen many uses, such as a mascot for firemen, war sentinel, draft dog, circus performer, vermin hunter, fire-apparatus follower, bird dog, trail hound, retriever, shepherd and as a guard dog.

Dalmatians were bred to run under or alongside horse-drawn carriages and therefore have a vast amount of stamina and energy. They do not like to sit around all day with nothing to do. They are playful, happy, easy going and very dedicated. The Dalmatian needs a lot of leadership along with human companionship in order to be happy. They will not do well left out in the yard all day and have been known to dig crater-size holes when done so. The Dalmatian enjoys playing with children, but if they do not receive enough mental and physical exercise they may become high-strung, and too excitable for a small child.

I know a few people making these and they are all so lovely I wanted to try to make my own version of it. This one was for my father. He loved it.

 

Once in a while I see something online or in a store and think that I don't need to buy it because I could make my own. That's what I've been up to since we moved last July: making things to cozy up in our new home (update). I'll try to take a few photos to share which brings me to this post.

 

I meant to share more of the skirts embellishment I'm working on. The problem is that if we don't have good enough photographs we don't post them at all. It's taken a long time (for me specially) to learn how to take good photos. We try to get the best background matching the piece, the light has to be just right so we don't have to retouch the image. It's a poor excuse to leave all of you waiting for so long. I'll try to have more wip images (work in progress) which we usually post in Rob's Flickr blog as well. We want to share whatever we are tinkering with at the time. This is why we don't have a blog (instead of a Flickr blog as we call it) and why Rob has a Tumblr. The pressure of a daily post and getting back to everyone's comments would be too much. But please feel free to email us, leave your comments here, and follow us. Flickr has been good to us and many of our followers have found us here. We post images and a short explanation to document our work and share online. Here's to another year of many more posts! If you are reading this, thank you for sticking with us :)

Somebody said you got a new friend

Does she love you better than I can?

There's a big black sky over my town

I know where you're at, I bet she's around

 

Yeah, I know it's stupid

I just gotta see it for myself

 

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh

I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

 

I'm just gonna dance all night

I'm all messed up, I'm so out of line

Stilettos and broken bottles

I'm spinning around in circles

 

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

I'm right over here, why can't you see me, ohh

I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

 

So far away but still so near

The lights go on, the music dies

But you don't see me standing here

I just came to say goodbye

 

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

I'm giving it my all, but I'm not the girl you're taking home, ooo

I keep dancing on my own

I keep dancing on my own

 

I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her, ohh

Juan A. Gaitán appointed curator of the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art

KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin is delighted to announce the appointment of Juan A. Gaitán as curator of the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art. The 8th Berlin Biennale will take place in spring 2014.

Juan A. Gaitán (Canada/Colombia) is an independent writer and curator, currently based in Mexico City and Berlin. He is trained as an artist and art historian at University of British Columbia and Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver (Canada). Between January 2009 and December 2011, he was curator at Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), and between September 2011 and June 2012 adjunct professor in the Curatorial Practice Program at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco (USA). During the 2006 – 2008 period, he was on the Board of Directors of the Western Front Society, and worked as external curator at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in Vancouver. His writings have been published in several journals, including Afterall, The Exhibitionist, Fillip, and Mousse. His most recent exhibition, Material Information, spans three venues in Bergen (Norway), and looks for a renewed critical approach to the contemporary global distribution of labor from the perspective of arts and crafts. He is presently member of the acquisitions committee at FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais in Dunquerke (France).

 

The Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art is since its fourth edition one of the institutions supported by the German Federal Cultural Foundation as „outstanding cultural event“. The support of 2.5 Million Euros per edition ensures planning stability, enabling the organizers to address issues of content in an experimental way.

 

Since the first edition in 1998, the Berlin Biennale has become a major international event for contemporary art. Located in the midst of Berlin’s vibrant cultural scene in the fast-changing capital of Germany, the Berlin Biennale has received an enthusiastic response from the audience as an experimental, forward-looking and contextual show. The previous seven editions of the Berlin Biennale explored a variety of exhibition formats and involved diverse curatorial agendas.

 

Curators have been:

 

1st Berlin Biennale (1998): Klaus Biesenbach with Nancy Spector, and Hans Ulrich Obrist

 

2nd Berlin Biennale (2001): Saskia Bos

 

3rd Berlin Biennale (2004): Ute Meta Bauer

 

4th Berlin Biennale (2006): Maurizio Cattelan, Massimiliano Gioni, and Ali Subotnick

 

5th Berlin Biennale (2008): Adam Szymczyk and Elena Filipovic

 

6th Berlin Biennale (2010): Kathrin Rhomberg

 

7th Berlin Biennale (2012): Artur Żmijewski together with associate curators Voina and Joanna Warsza

 

The selection committee for the curatorship of the 8th Berlin Biennale consisted of Sergio Edelsztein (Director and Chief Curator, The Centre for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv); Cao Fei (Artist, Bejing), Susanne Gaensheimer (Director, MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt a. M.), Koyo Kouoh (Founding Director and Artistic Director, Raw Material Company - Center for Art, Knowledge and Society, Dakar), Matthias Mühling (Head of Department, Curator, Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich), Bisi Silva (Director and Founder, Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos), and Patricia Sloane (Associate Curator, MUAC Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo and advisor to the Head of Visual Arts, UNAM Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City).

 

The Berlin Biennale is realized by KW Institute for Contemporary Art and funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.

Le Port de Montréal est une véritable richesse pour notre métropole. Les activités portuaires et maritimes ont contribué au développement et à l’essor de la ville de Montréal et du Canada à travers l’histoire, et sont encore aujourd’hui synonymes de vitalité économique.

 

Le Port est un élément fondateur de la ville de Montréal, et il a largement contribué à son développement socio-économique. Il a également été un acteur clé dans le peuplement et l’industrialisation du Canada. Aujourd’hui, le Port continue d’être une plaque tournante pour la logistique du transport des marchandises et le tourisme.

 

Le Port de Montréal vous offre l’occasion de remonter dans le temps pour revivre les grandes étapes de l’évolution de la riche histoire portuaire de Montréal.

 

L’exposition Histoire de navires a ouvert ses portes le 19 juillet dernier, et l’entrée est gratuite!

Dicke Bohnen - mit Kritharaki

 

www.lecker.de/dicke-bohnen-mit-kritharaki-80883.html

 

1 Glas Dicke Bohnen (Abtropfgewicht 425 g) abgießen (mit Wasser kurz aufkochen und abtropfen lassen.)

 

1 mittelgroße Zwiebel, kleingeschnitten

1-2 Knoblauch Zehen, zerdrückt

2 Ingwerpflaumen, zerkleinert

 

In Pflanzenöl andünsten, dann

2 EL Tomatenmark zufügen und

1 TL Garam Masala (Harissa)

einige Minuten anschwitzen.

Die Bohnen zugeben,

1/4 l Gemüsebrühe angießen und ca. 15 Minuten sanft köcheln lassen.

Mit Salz und Pfeffer abschmecken.

Die Kritharaki-Nudeln kochen.

Gemeinsam mit den Bohnen anrichten

Im Rezept ist gebackener Hokkaido und Kresse dabei.

  

Mein Tofu musste weg.... daher diese Beilage auch noch:

Tofu Teriyaki

für 4 Personen

450 g fester Tofu, in kleine Würfel schneiden, dann in Küchenpapier wickeln um überschüssiges Wasser zu entfernen.

3 EL Sojasoße

3 EL Mirin (süßer Reiswein) 3 EL brauner Zucker

(Ich habe fertige Teriyaki-Soße genommen)

2 Knoblauchzehen, zerkleinert

1 TL geriebener Ingwer

 

Miteinander mischen, den Tofu in die Marinade geben und mind. 30 Minuten (oder über Nacht) darin marinieren lassen.

Den Tofu aus der Marinade nehmen und in einer Schüssel mit 1 EL Maisstärke vermischen, so dass alle Stücke gleichmäßig bedeckt sind.

2 EL Öl in einer Pfanne erhitzen und die Tofuwürfel darin bei mittlerer Hitze etwa 3 bis 4 Minuten braten, bis sie goldbraun und knusprig sind.

Die restliche Marinade erhitzen sowie noch etwas Maisstärke (angerührt in 2 EL Wasser) hinzufügen, die Soße köcheln lassen, bis sie dicker wird.

Die Soße über den Tofu geben und gut mischen.

Mit Reis oder Nudeln servieren.

(so das Rezept, ich denke, ich habe das schon modifiziert).

Εισαγωγή

Χριστιανικό μουσικό ντοκιμαντέρ

| Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων | Μαρτυρεί την παντοδυναμία και την κυριαρχία του Δημιουργού (Greek Subtitles)

 

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

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

Qin Shuting Città di Linyi, Provincia di Shandong

 

Per un certo tempo, anche se non avevo smesso di nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio, non avevo mai percepito la luce. Avevo pregato Dio per questo ma, ciononostante, non ero stata ancora illuminata. Così ho pensato: “Dio illumina ogni persona a Suo tempo, perciò è inutile cercare di affrettare le cose”. Poi ho continuato a seguire le regole e a nutrirmi e dissetarmi della parola di Dio senza ansia, attendendo “pazientemente” che Egli mi illuminasse.

 

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

 

Oh Dio! Io rendo grazie per la Tua tempestiva illuminazione che mi ha permesso di riconoscere la deviazione insita nella mia esperienza. Adesso io desidero tornare indietro per lavorare in maniera positiva e attiva con Te, per mantenere un cuore bramoso e dedito alla ricerca, per portare il mio fardello e nutrirmi e dissetarmi della Tua parola, per perseguire un’ulteriore illuminazione ottenuta mediante la Tua parola e far sì che io possa approfondire la mia conoscenza della verità, e che la mia vita diventi sempre migliore.

—--Biennale from wikipedia —--

 

The Venice International Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale. The famous Golden Lion is awarded to the best film screening at the competition.

Biennale (Italian: [bi.enˈnaːle]), Italian for "biennial" or "every other year", is any event that happens every two years. It is most commonly used within the art world to describe large-scale international contemporary art exhibitions. As such the term was popularised by Venice Biennale, which was first held in 1895. Since the 1990s, the terms "biennale" and "biennial" have been interchangeably used in a more generic way - to signify a large-scale international survey show of contemporary art that recurs at regular intervals but not necessarily biannual (such as triennials, Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster).[1] The phrase has also been used for other artistic events, such as the "Biennale de Paris", "Kochi-Muziris Biennale", Berlinale (for the Berlin International Film Festival) and Viennale (for Vienna's international film festival).

Characteristics[edit]

According to author Federica Martini, what is at stake in contemporary biennales is the diplomatic/international relations potential as well as urban regeneration plans. Besides being mainly focused on the present (the “here and now” where the cultural event takes place and their effect of "spectacularisation of the everyday"), because of their site-specificity cultural events may refer back to,[who?] produce or frame the history of the site and communities' collective memory.[2]

 

The Great Exhibition in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, in 1851, the first attempt to condense the representation of the world within a unitary exhibition space.

A strong and influent symbol of biennales and of large-scale international exhibitions in general is the Crystal Palace, the gigantic and futuristic London architecture that hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851. According to philosopher Peter Sloterdijk,[3][page needed] the Crystal Palace is the first attempt to condense the representation of the world in a unitary exhibition space, where the main exhibit is society itself in an a-historical, spectacular condition. The Crystal Palace main motives were the affirmation of British economic and national leadership and the creation of moments of spectacle. In this respect, 19th century World fairs provided a visual crystallization of colonial culture and were, at the same time, forerunners of contemporary theme parks.

The Venice Biennale as an archetype[edit]

 

The structure of the Venice Biennale in 2005 with an international exhibition and the national pavilions.

The Venice Biennale, a periodical large-scale cultural event founded in 1895, served as an archetype of the biennales. Meant to become a World Fair focused on contemporary art, the Venice Biennale used as a pretext the wedding anniversary of the Italian king and followed up to several national exhibitions organised after Italy unification in 1861. The Biennale immediately put forth issues of city marketing, cultural tourism and urban regeneration, as it was meant to reposition Venice on the international cultural map after the crisis due to the end of the Grand Tour model and the weakening of the Venetian school of painting. Furthermore, the Gardens where the Biennale takes place were an abandoned city area that needed to be re-functionalised. In cultural terms, the Biennale was meant to provide on a biennial basis a platform for discussing contemporary art practices that were not represented in fine arts museums at the time. The early Biennale model already included some key points that are still constitutive of large-scale international art exhibitions today: a mix of city marketing, internationalism, gentrification issues and destination culture, and the spectacular, large scale of the event.

Biennials after the 1990s[edit]

The situation of biennials has changed in the contemporary context: while at its origin in 1895 Venice was a unique cultural event, but since the 1990s hundreds of biennials have been organized across the globe. Given the ephemeral and irregular nature of some biennials, there is little consensus on the exact number of biennials in existence at any given time.[citation needed] Furthermore, while Venice was a unique agent in the presentation of contemporary art, since the 1960s several museums devoted to contemporary art are exhibiting the contemporary scene on a regular basis. Another point of difference concerns 19th century internationalism in the arts, that was brought into question by post-colonial debates and criticism of the contemporary art “ethnic marketing”, and also challenged the Venetian and World Fair’s national representation system. As a consequence of this, Eurocentric tendency to implode the whole word in an exhibition space, which characterises both the Crystal Palace and the Venice Biennale, is affected by the expansion of the artistic geographical map to scenes traditionally considered as marginal. The birth of the Havana Biennial in 1984 is widely considered an important counterpoint to the Venetian model for its prioritization of artists working in the Global South and curatorial rejection of the national pavilion model.

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

History

1895–1947

On April 19, 1893, the Venetian City Council passed a resolution to set up an biennial exhibition of Italian Art ("Esposizione biennale artistica nazionale") to celebrate the silver anniversary of King Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy.[11]

A year later, the council decreed "to adopt a 'by invitation' system; to reserve a section of the Exhibition for foreign artists too; to admit works by uninvited Italian artists, as selected by a jury."[12]

The first Biennale, "I Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte della Città di Venezia (1st International Art Exhibition of the City of Venice)" (although originally scheduled for April 22, 1894) was opened on April 30, 1895, by the Italian King and Queen, Umberto I and Margherita di Savoia. The first exhibition was seen by 224,000 visitors.

The event became increasingly international in the first decades of the 20th century: from 1907 on, several countries installed national pavilions at the exhibition, with the first being from Belgium. In 1910 the first internationally well-known artists were displayed: a room dedicated to Gustav Klimt, a one-man show for Renoir, a retrospective of Courbet. A work by Picasso "Family of Saltimbanques" was removed from the Spanish salon in the central Palazzo because it was feared that its novelty might shock the public. By 1914 seven pavilions had been established: Belgium (1907), Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914).

During World War I, the 1916 and 1918 events were cancelled.[13] In 1920 the post of mayor of Venice and president of the Biennale was split. The new secretary general, Vittorio Pica brought about the first presence of avant-garde art, notably Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

1922 saw an exhibition of sculpture by African artists. Between the two World Wars, many important modern artists had their work exhibited there. In 1928 the Istituto Storico d'Arte Contemporanea (Historical Institute of Contemporary Art) opened, which was the first nucleus of archival collections of the Biennale. In 1930 its name was changed into Historical Archive of Contemporary Art.

In 1930, the Biennale was transformed into an Ente Autonomo (Autonomous Board) by Royal Decree with law no. 33 of 13-1-1930. Subsequently, the control of the Biennale passed from the Venice city council to the national Fascist government under Benito Mussolini. This brought on a restructuring, an associated financial boost, as well as a new president, Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata. Three entirely new events were established, including the Biennale Musica in 1930, also referred to as International Festival of Contemporary Music; the Venice Film Festival in 1932, which they claim as the first film festival in history,[14] also referred to as Venice International Film Festival; and the Biennale Theatro in 1934, also referred to as International Theatre Festival.

In 1933 the Biennale organized an exhibition of Italian art abroad. From 1938, Grand Prizes were awarded in the art exhibition section.

During World War II, the activities of the Biennale were interrupted: 1942 saw the last edition of the events. The Film Festival restarted in 1946, the Music and Theatre festivals were resumed in 1947, and the Art Exhibition in 1948.[15]

1948–1973[edit]

The Art Biennale was resumed in 1948 with a major exhibition of a recapitulatory nature. The Secretary General, art historian Rodolfo Pallucchini, started with the Impressionists and many protagonists of contemporary art including Chagall, Klee, Braque, Delvaux, Ensor, and Magritte, as well as a retrospective of Picasso's work. Peggy Guggenheim was invited to exhibit her collection, later to be permanently housed at Ca' Venier dei Leoni.

1949 saw the beginning of renewed attention to avant-garde movements in European—and later worldwide—movements in contemporary art. Abstract expressionism was introduced in the 1950s, and the Biennale is credited with importing Pop Art into the canon of art history by awarding the top prize to Robert Rauschenberg in 1964.[16] From 1948 to 1972, Italian architect Carlo Scarpa did a series of remarkable interventions in the Biennale's exhibition spaces.

In 1954 the island San Giorgio Maggiore provided the venue for the first Japanese Noh theatre shows in Europe. 1956 saw the selection of films following an artistic selection and no longer based upon the designation of the participating country. The 1957 Golden Lion went to Satyajit Ray's Aparajito which introduced Indian cinema to the West.

1962 included Arte Informale at the Art Exhibition with Jean Fautrier, Hans Hartung, Emilio Vedova, and Pietro Consagra. The 1964 Art Exhibition introduced continental Europe to Pop Art (The Independent Group had been founded in Britain in 1952). The American Robert Rauschenberg was the first American artist to win the Gran Premio, and the youngest to date.

The student protests of 1968 also marked a crisis for the Biennale. Student protests hindered the opening of the Biennale. A resulting period of institutional changes opened and ending with a new Statute in 1973. In 1969, following the protests, the Grand Prizes were abandoned. These resumed in 1980 for the Mostra del Cinema and in 1986 for the Art Exhibition.[17]

In 1972, for the first time, a theme was adopted by the Biennale, called "Opera o comportamento" ("Work or Behaviour").

Starting from 1973 the Music Festival was no longer held annually. During the year in which the Mostra del Cinema was not held, there was a series of "Giornate del cinema italiano" (Days of Italian Cinema) promoted by sectorial bodies in campo Santa Margherita, in Venice.[18]

1974–1998[edit]

1974 saw the start of the four-year presidency of Carlo Ripa di Meana. The International Art Exhibition was not held (until it was resumed in 1976). Theatre and cinema events were held in October 1974 and 1975 under the title Libertà per il Cile (Freedom for Chile)—a major cultural protest against the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.

On 15 November 1977, the so-called Dissident Biennale (in reference to the dissident movement in the USSR) opened. Because of the ensuing controversies within the Italian left wing parties, president Ripa di Meana resigned at the end of the year.[19]

In 1979 the new presidency of Giuseppe Galasso (1979-1982) began. The principle was laid down whereby each of the artistic sectors was to have a permanent director to organise its activity.

In 1980, the Architecture section of the Biennale was set up. The director, Paolo Portoghesi, opened the Corderie dell'Arsenale to the public for the first time. At the Mostra del Cinema, the awards were brought back into being (between 1969 and 1979, the editions were non-competitive). In 1980, Achille Bonito Oliva and Harald Szeemann introduced "Aperto", a section of the exhibition designed to explore emerging art. Italian art historian Giovanni Carandente directed the 1988 and 1990 editions. A three-year gap was left afterwards to make sure that the 1995 edition would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Biennale.[13]

The 1993 edition was directed by Achille Bonito Oliva. In 1995, Jean Clair was appointed to be the Biennale's first non-Italian director of visual arts[20] while Germano Celant served as director in 1997.

For the Centenary in 1995, the Biennale promoted events in every sector of its activity: the 34th Festival del Teatro, the 46th art exhibition, the 46th Festival di Musica, the 52nd Mostra del Cinema.[21]

1999–present[edit]

In 1999 and 2001, Harald Szeemann directed two editions in a row (48th & 49th) bringing in a larger representation of artists from Asia and Eastern Europe and more young artists than usual and expanded the show into several newly restored spaces of the Arsenale.

In 1999 a new sector was created for live shows: DMT (Dance Music Theatre).

The 50th edition, 2003, directed by Francesco Bonami, had a record number of seven co-curators involved, including Hans Ulrich Obrist, Catherine David, Igor Zabel, Hou Hanru and Massimiliano Gioni.

The 51st edition of the Biennale opened in June 2005, curated, for the first time by two women, Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez. De Corral organized "The Experience of Art" which included 41 artists, from past masters to younger figures. Rosa Martinez took over the Arsenale with "Always a Little Further." Drawing on "the myth of the romantic traveler" her exhibition involved 49 artists, ranging from the elegant to the profane.

In 2007, Robert Storr became the first director from the United States to curate the Biennale (the 52nd), with a show entitled Think with the Senses – Feel with the Mind. Art in the Present Tense.

Swedish curator Daniel Birnbaum was artistic director of the 2009 edition entitled "Fare Mondi // Making Worlds".

The 2011 edition was curated by Swiss curator Bice Curiger entitled "ILLUMInazioni – ILLUMInations".

The Biennale in 2013 was curated by the Italian Massimiliano Gioni. His title and theme, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace, was adopted from an architectural model by the self-taught Italian-American artist Marino Auriti. Auriti's work, The Encyclopedic Palace of the World was lent by the American Folk Art Museum and exhibited in the first room of the Arsenale for the duration of the biennale. For Gioni, Auriti's work, "meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite," provided an analogous figure for the "biennale model itself...based on the impossible desire to concentrate the infinite worlds of contemporary art in a single place: a task that now seems as dizzyingly absurd as Auriti's dream."[22]

Curator Okwui Enwezor was responsible for the 2015 edition.[23] He was the first African-born curator of the biennial. As a catalyst for imagining different ways of imagining multiple desires and futures Enwezor commissioned special projects and programs throughout the Biennale in the Giardini. This included a Creative Time Summit, e-flux journal's SUPERCOMMUNITY, Gulf Labor Coalition, The Invisible Borders Trans-African Project and Abounaddara.[24][25]

The 2017 Biennale, titled Viva Arte Viva, was directed by French curator Christine Macel who called it an "exhibition inspired by humanism".[26] German artist Franz Erhard Walter won the Golden Lion for best artist, while Carolee Schneemann was awarded a posthumous Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[27]

The 2019 Biennale, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, was directed by American-born curator Ralph Rugoff.[28]

The 2022 edition was curated by Italian curator Cecilia Alemani entitled "The Milk of Dreams" after a book by British-born Mexican surrealist painter Leonora Carrington.[29]

The Biennale has an attendance today of over 500,000 visitors.[30][31][32]

Role in the art market[edit]

When the Venice Biennale was founded in 1895, one of its main goals was to establish a new market for contemporary art. Between 1942 and 1968 a sales office assisted artists in finding clients and selling their work,[33] a service for which it charged 10% commission. Sales remained an intrinsic part of the biennale until 1968, when a sales ban was enacted. An important practical reason why the focus on non-commodities has failed to decouple Venice from the market is that the biennale itself lacks the funds to produce, ship and install these large-scale works. Therefore, the financial involvement of dealers is widely regarded as indispensable;[16] as they regularly front the funding for production of ambitious projects.[34] Furthermore, every other year the Venice Biennale coincides with nearby Art Basel, the world's prime commercial fair for modern and contemporary art. Numerous galleries with artists on show in Venice usually bring work by the same artists to Basel.[35]

Central Pavilion and Arsenale[edit]

The formal Biennale is based at a park, the Giardini. The Giardini includes a large exhibition hall that houses a themed exhibition curated by the Biennale's director.

Initiated in 1980, the Aperto began as a fringe event for younger artists and artists of a national origin not represented by the permanent national pavilions. This is usually staged in the Arsenale and has become part of the formal biennale programme. In 1995 there was no Aperto so a number of participating countries hired venues to show exhibitions of emerging artists. From 1999, both the international exhibition and the Aperto were held as one exhibition, held both at the Central Pavilion and the Arsenale. Also in 1999, a $1 million renovation transformed the Arsenale area into a cluster of renovated shipyards, sheds and warehouses, more than doubling the Arsenale's exhibition space of previous years.[36]

A special edition of the 54th Biennale was held at Padiglione Italia of Torino Esposizioni – Sala Nervi (December 2011 – February 2012) for the 150th Anniversary of Italian Unification. The event was directed by Vittorio Sgarbi

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.

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).

1883-1889 - Daimler und Maybach

 

Maybach folgt Daimler in dessen Werkstatt in Cannstatt. Daimler plant hier die Entwicklung eines schnellaufenden Benzinmotors.

Maybach konstruiert ein mit einem hölzernen Rahmen versehenes Motorrad. Die Wahl zwischen den zwei Gängen erfolgt durch Riemenwechsel, was nur bei Stillstand des Fahrzeugs erfolgen kann. Der sogenannte Reitwagen erreicht 12 km/h.

 

Daimler und Maybach konstruieren ihr erstes zweiachsiges Fahrzeug, das ebenfalls 12 km/h erreicht.

Da vor allem die Versuchsfahrten auf öffentlichen Straßen immer wieder zur Beunruhigung der Bevölkerung führen, konstruieren Daimler und Maybach ein motorisiertes Boot.

 

Maybach war der geniale Motor-spezialist, ohne ihn wäre auch der Ottomotor nicht serienreif geworden. Daimler wollte die Welt verändern, indem er "seinen Motor" in zahlreiche Gefährte einbauen liess.

 

1886

Nach einem Motorrad und einem Motorboot war die Kutsche das dritte Fahrzeug, das von dem neuartigen "schnellaufenen" Motor angetrieben wurde.

 

1889

Maybach präsentiert seinen "Stahlradwagen", aka “Quadricycle” - Chassis von NSU aus Nekarsulm - das vierte Fahrzeug nach interner Zählung, mit dem ersten Zahnradwechselgetriebe auf der Pariser Weltausstellung.

Der Stahlradwagen entstand gegen den Widerstand Daimlers in Maybachs Alleingang.

 

Der Zweizylinder-V-Motor ist eine wegweisende Entwicklung.

 

Der gleiche Motor sorgt auch für den Antrieb von zwei Booten, die Daimler nach Paris gebracht hat und die auf der Seine die Tauglichkeit des neuartigen Aggregats für Wasserfahrzeuge unter Beweis stellen. Insgesamt ein eindrucksvolles Aufgebot.

 

Das Viergang-Wechselgetriebe wird zum Vorbild späterer Kraftfahrzeug-Getriebe.

Es besteht aus verschiedenen Zahnradpaaren mit gerader Verzahnung, von denen immer ein Paar im Eingriff ist. Im ersten sind 5 km/h möglich, im vierten Gang 16 km/h. Das Getriebe überzeugt in Paris auch bei einer ausgedehnten Probefahrt einen Ingenieur des Unternehmens Renault, das gerade im Vorjahr gegründet worden war.

"König der Konstrukteure", wurde Maybach bei den Franzosen genannt.

  

Die Firma Panhard & Levassor, ein französisches Maschinenbauunternehmen, erwarb Lizenzen für den Nachbau des Daimlermotors und startete damit sehr erfolgreich eine eigene Automobilproduktion.

Auch der Fahrradhersteller Peugeot wurde von Panhard mit Lizenzmotoren beliefert.

 

Inspiriert vom Stahlradwagen erschien bei Peugeot 1890 ein erstes Quadricycle, mit dem auch diese Firma in den Automobilbau einstieg.

Bald fahren in Frankreich mehr Automobile mit „Moteurs système Daimler“ als im Mutterland des Automobils, Deutschland, wo die Vermarktung nur eher zäh vorangeht.

 

Die erfolgreichen Produktions- und Absatzstrategien der französischen Hersteller verhalfen mittelbar auch Firma Daimler im Automobilsektor zum Erfolg.

 

1899-1902

Das Automobile Zeitalter beginnt.

 

Die Bedienung des modernen automobilen Wagens wurde weiter vereinfacht.

Dies geschah durch „automatisches“ Auskuppeln und Abbremsen der Antriebswelle beim Betätigen des Schalthebels. Diese frühe Verbesserung des Bedienkomforts schlug sich im Namenszusatz „Simplex“ nieder.

 

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Simplex

  

Der erste "Mercedes", ein spezieller Leichmetall Rennmotor für den Autoenthusiasten Emil Jellinek (1853–1918), war natürlich eine geniale Maybach Motorentwicklung.

 

Weder Otto noch Daimler würdigten Maybachs immensen Anteil mit seiner Namensnennung.

Bei ihren Patentanmeldungen hätte Maybach mitgenannt werden müssen.

So aber heiss es Otto-motor und Daimler-Motor.

 

Finanziell hätte es sich das für Maybach auch ausbezahlt.

 

1900 - 1907 MAYBACH Chefkonstrukteur bei der DMG

  

1900.

Mit Daimlers Tod verliert Wilhelm Maybach seinen Freund und Protegé, die seit der gemeinsamen Zeit (1865-1869) im Reutlinger Bruderhaus bestand.

 

Seine wohl herausragendste Konstruktion schafft Maybach nach Daimlers Tod .

 

Der erste Mercedes sorgt im März 1901 auf der „Woche von Nizza“ für Aufsehen. Das Fahrzeug hebt sich deutlich von allen bisher in der Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft erdachten und erbauten Wagen ab und beendet das Kutschenzeitalter im Automobilbau.

 

Maybach konstruierte unter Verwendung von Leichtmetall einen Rennwagen mit einem 35-PS-Vierzylindermotor und zwei Vergasern.

Das Fahrzeug stellt mit Bienenwabenkühler mit integriertem Wasser-Ausgleichsbehälter, Azetylen-Scheinwerfern, Kolbenvergaser, verkapselter Einlassnockenwelle und offen stehenden Ventilschäften und -federn, Handbremshebel für die hinteren Trommelbremsen, Lenksäule, Abgas-Klappenregler, „Schmiertrompete“, Kupplung und die Pedale für die zwei unabhängig voneinander arbeitenden Außenband-Bremsen am Getriebe und einem Zahnradgetriebe das Auto der Zukunft dar.

 

1906

Maybach konstruiert einen neuartigen 120-PS-Rennmotor mit Merkmalen wie hängende Ein- und Auslaßventile und Doppelzündung. Diese Kennzeichen werden später bedeutend für die Mercedes-Flugzeugmotoren und für alle anderen Hochleistungsmotoren.

Jetzt hätte der Erfinder Maybach eigentlich seine Stellung gesichrt haben müssen, statt dessen wird Maybach hingegen wird Opfer mehrerer Intrigen.

Er wird als Chefkonstrukteur abgelöst und beschränkt seine Aktivitäten auf ein „Erfinderbüro“.

1907 verlässt er verbittert die DMG.

Adolf Wilhelm Wimpff gründete 1866 eine Wagenbaufabrik (Chaisen-Bauer, Pferdekutschen, Wilhelm Wimpff & Söhne) im Stuttgarter Bohnenviertel (siehe geomap)

Places / Germany / Baden-Wurttemberg / Stuttgart

 

Am 8. März 1886 bestellte Gottlieb Daimler eine Kutsche der Bauart "Americain" bei Wilhelm Wimpff & Söhne, die im August 1886 ausgeliefert wurde. Ursprünglich als Geschenk für seine Frau Emma gedacht endete sie als das erste vierrädrige Automobil, nachdem Daimler und Maybach dort einen Motor eingebaut hatten.

Zu den Kunden von Wilhelm Wimpff zählten auch die Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH und der Industrielle Robert Bosch.

Im Jahre 1905 erwarb die Fensterfabrik Gebrüder Neuffer die Gebäude der Wagenfabrik Wimpff und der benachbarten Kundensägerei Diffenbacher in der Rosenstraße 26- 28 im Stuttgarter Bohnenviertel.

Gottlieb Daimler’s First Automobile (March 8, 1886)

 

In 1885,

Gottlieb Daimler (1834-1900),

together with his partner Wilhelm Maybach (1846-1929),

adapted an early model of the internal combustion engine and patented what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine.

 

The 1885 Daimler-Maybach engine was small and lightweight, and before the year was out it had been put to use in the first motorcycle and the first motorboat.

  

In 1890, Daimler founded the Daimler Motor Company in Cannstatt, near Stuttgart, to mass-produce his designs.

 

In 1899, Daimler asked Maybach to design a racing car, which was given the name “Mercedes.” in 1901.

Die Marke Mercedes-Benz ist von dem Geschäftsbereich Mercedes-Benz Cars (MBC) zu unterscheiden, der neben der PKW-Marke Mercedes-Benz auch die Marke smart führt. Die Nutzfahrzeuge der Marke Mercedes-Benz gehören zu anderen Geschäftsbereichen der Daimler AG.

 

Der manchmal verwendete Name „Daimler“ für einen Mercedes-Benz ist nicht korrekt, da Gottlieb Daimler die Rechte an dem Namen „Daimler“ in Bezug auf Autos „für alle Zeiten“ verkaufte.

 

Ab 1907 fertigte in Coventry die Daimler Motor Company Kraftfahrzeuge unter dieser Marke. Nach Übernahmen von Jaguar Cars und später Ford wurden die Namensrechte an der Marke Daimler 2008 von den indischen Tata Motors übernommen.

define: "AUTO"

 

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobil

Ein Automobil, kurz Auto (auch Kraftwagen, früher Motorwagen), ist ein traditionell mehrspuriges Kraftfahrzeug, das von einem Motor angetrieben wird und zur Beförderung von Personen (Pkw und Bus) und Frachtgütern (Lkw) dient. Umgangssprachlich werden jedoch vor allem Fahrzeuge als Auto bezeichnet, deren Bauart überwiegend zur Personenbeförderung bestimmt ist und die mit einem Pkw-Führerschein geführt werden dürfen.

 

.en

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile

An automobile, autocar, motor car or car is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transporting passengers, which also carries its own engine or motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods

 

.fr

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile

 

Une automobile, une voiture automobile, une voiture (ou familièrement une auto ou un char en Acadie et au Québec) est un véhicule à roues propulsé par un moteur destiné au transport terrestre des personnes et des objets.

 

L'automobile est un moyen de transport parmi les plus répandus, sa capacité est généralement de deux à cinq personnes, mais peut varier de une à neuf places.

 

L'usage limite l'emploi du terme automobile aux véhicules de dimensions inférieures à celle des autobus et des camions, mais englobe parfois les camionnettes. Bien qu'étant des véhicules « automobiles », les motocyclettes ne sont pas classées dans cette catégorie.

I've recently added a few gently used selenium lightmeters to my collection. They were relatively inexpensive or given to me free (thanks, CH!).

 

Although most aren't designed to be used in low-light conditions, they are fine for general, day-time, outdoor use, especially if using negative film with a bit of exposure latitude.

 

While out pinholing, I enjoy using these battery-less analog meters in conjunction with the free "Pinhole Exposure Scale" by Kyoto Photo Press (lower-right).

For our day in port at Cannes, Mike and I began by hiking up to Musée de la Castre -- once a hilltop fortress and now a museum at the heart of Cannes' Le Suquet district.

 

The museum's collections are grouped by themes, including a Historical Journey (Voyage Historique) that encompasses antiquities from throughout the Mediterranean region and a Pictorial Journey (Voyage Pittoresque) that features paintings of landscapes, seascapes, views of Cannes, Impressionism, and Fauvism.

 

In this photo, you can see an Etruscan sarcophagus displayed in one of the Pictorial Journey rooms, with landscape paintings by Joseph Contini and Vincent Courdouan on the wall behind it. A few details on the sarcophagus (as translated from the informational placard below it) and the paintings, as well as an overview of the Mediterranean Antiquities and Painted Landscape collections (as outlined in the museum's brochure):

 

Etruscan Sarcophagus

Carved and baked red clay

On loan from the Louvre Museum

 

Erected on the pediments of temples or installed on the tanks sarcophagi, as here, these large figures -- molded, sculpted, baked, and often painted -- were characteristic of Etruscan civilization on the Italian Peninsula. The sarcophagus lid shows a richly dressed man, semi-reclining on a bed. He is holding a crown -- one of the objects associated with large, festive banquets where attendees reclined in antiquity. Etruscan funerary art used the image of a banqueter, symbolizing the eternal banquet of the deceased in the afterlife and which characterizes his social portrait.

Mediterranean Antiquities

The Mediterranean antiquities are housed in the lower room in the Abbot's Tower, a 16th-century building that was partially razed to the ground, but whose oblique profile may be made out in the museum's garden. The tower marked the corner of one of the residential buildings in Cannes' castle. The archaeology room presents a fine collection of Mediterranean antiquities, from Sumerian clay tablets written in cuneiform to 4th-century Christians' lead sarcophagi. Almost 5,000 years of art is thus displayed in the showcases, which are fitted out like collectors' cabinets, as if the room were an antique collector's private museum. The exhibits come partly from the collection of Baron Lycklama, who purchased them during his Middle Eastern travels: Persia and its capital, Tehran, the ruins beside the Tigris of what is now Iraq; Turkey and Constantinople; the lands that now make up Syria, with Damascus and Palmyra; the ancient lands of Palestine, with Jerusalem and Bethlehem; and the island of Cyprus. Another series of very fine exhibits comes from the donation made by Jacqueline Damien, who donated her father's collection to the nation in 1992 on the condition that it was to be lodged with the Musée de la Castre. A series of works on permanent loan from the Louvre, such as the two sarcophagi, one Etruscan and the other Egyptian, join the museum's early Christian lead sarcophagi to form a group representing the funerary rites of the classical and post-classical periods.

 

The Painted Landscape

Landscape art became a genre in its own right in the late 18th century, taking its cue from the Dutch and Flemish masters. Before then, it had been used as the backdrop for historical, religious, or battle scenes. The establishment, in 1817, of a Prix de Rome for historical landscapes constituted a decisive milestone, as it bestowed official recognition on the genre. At that time, open-air work for making sketches and studying individual features of the landscape -- such as rocks, trees, and clouds -- was recommended. The landscape artist then reworked the features he had sketched, turning them into an intellectual re-composition. He reconstructed landscapes, at times ideal and at times aiming for geographic or atmospheric truth, but from memory, incorporating details drawn from life into imaginary sites. The paintings presented in this room highlight Cannes' minor 19th century masters, who were virtuosos of the striking views held out by the coast. Joseph Contini (1827-1892), Adolphe Fioupou (1824-1899), and their generation focus our gaze on the minute observation of trees or rocks, whether isolated or incorporated into a full-fledged composition.

Εκείνους που τρέχουν ολόγυρα για χάρη Μου θα τους τιμήσω, εκείνους που ξοδεύουν για χάρη Μου θα τους αγκαλιάσω χαρωπά, εκείνους που Μου κάνουν προσφορές θα τους παρέχω απολαύσεις. Εκείνους που βρίσκουν την απόλαυση στα λόγια Μου θα τους ευλογήσω. Θα αποτελέσουν σίγουρα τους πυλώνες που συγκρατούν το επιστύλιο της βασιλείας Μου, θα απολαμβάνουν σίγουρα απαράμιλλης αφθονίας στον οίκο Μου και κανένας δεν θα μπορεί να συγκριθεί μαζί τους. Αποδεχθήκατε ποτέ τις ευλογίες που σας δόθηκαν; Γυρέψατε ποτέ τις υποσχέσεις που σας έγιναν; Είναι σίγουρο ότι, υπό την καθοδήγηση του φωτός Μου, θα σπάσετε αυτήν τη θηλιά με την οποία σας στραγγαλίζουν οι δυνάμεις του σκότους. Είναι σίγουρο ότι, εν μέσω του σκότους, δεν θα χάσετε το φως που σας οδηγεί. Θα είστε σίγουρα οι κυρίαρχοι όλης της δημιουργίας. Θα είστε σίγουρα νικητές ενώπιον του Σατανά. Είναι σίγουρο ότι, με την πτώση της βασιλείας του μεγάλου κόκκινου δράκοντα, θα ξεχωρίσετε ανάμεσα στις ορδές των μυριάδων για να γίνετε μάρτυρες της νίκης Μου. Η στάση σας θα είναι σίγουρα αποφασιστική και ακλόνητη στη γη του Σινείμ. Μέσα από τα δεινά που υπομένετε θα κληρονομήσετε τις ευλογίες που προέρχονται από Εμένα και θα ακτινοβολήσετε σίγουρα σε ολόκληρο το σύμπαν με τη δόξα Μου.»

Εισαγωγή

Ελληνική Χριστιανική ταινία «χτυπώντας την πόρτα» Ο Κύριος Ιησούς χτυπά την πόρτα της καρδιάς μου

 

Ο Κύριος Ιησούς είπε: «Εν τω μέσω δε της νυκτός έγεινε κραυγή· Ιδού, ο νυμφίος έρχεται, εξέλθετε εις απάντησιν αυτού». (κατά Ματθαίον 25:6). «Ιδού, ίσταμαι εις την θύραν και κρούω· εάν τις ακούση της φωνής μου και ανοίξη την θύραν, θέλω εισέλθει προς αυτόν και θέλω δειπνήσει μετ’ αυτού και αυτός μετ’ εμού». (Αποκάλυψη 3:20). Κατά τα τελευταία δύο χιλιάδες χρόνια, εκείνοι που πιστεύουν στον Κύριο είναι σε επαγρύπνηση και περιμένουν τον Κύριο να κρούσει τη θύρα, άρα πώς Εκείνος θα κρούσει τη θύρα της ανθρωπότητας όταν επιστρέψει; Κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες, κάποιοι άνθρωποι έχουν επιμαρτυρήσει ότι ο Κύριος Ιησούς έχει επιστρέψει – ως ο ενσαρκωμένος Παντοδύναμος Θεός – και ότι εκτελεί το έργο της κρίσεως κατά τις έσχατες ημέρες. Αυτή η είδηση έχει ταράξει ολόκληρο τον θρησκευτικό κόσμο.

 

Η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ, η πρωταγωνίστρια της ταινίας, πιστεύει στον Κύριο εδώ και δεκαετίες και έχει ήδη αρχίσει να εργάζεται και να κηρύσσει τον λόγο Του με ενθουσιασμό, περιμένοντας να υποδεχθεί την επιστροφή του Κυρίου. Μια μέρα, έρχονται δύο άνθρωποι και κρούουν τη θύρα, λένε στη Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ και στον σύζυγό της ότι ο Κύριος Ιησούς έχει επιστρέψει και μοιράζονται τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού μαζί τους. Εκείνοι συγκινούνται βαθιά από τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού, αλλά, επειδή η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ έχει βιώσει την πλάνη, την εξαπάτηση και τις απαγορεύσεις των παστόρων και των πρεσβυτέρων, πετάει τους μάρτυρες της Εκκλησίας του Παντοδύναμου Θεού έξω από το σπίτι. Στη συνέχεια, οι μάρτυρες κρούουν τη θύρα τους πολλές φορές και διαβάζουν τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού στη Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ, γινόμενοι μάρτυρες του έργου του Θεού των εσχάτων ημερών. Κατά την ίδια περίοδο, ο πάστορας ενοχλεί και εμποδίζει επανειλημμένα τη Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ, με αποτέλεσμα αυτή να συνεχίζει να αμφιταλαντεύεται. Ωστόσο, καθώς ακούει τον λόγο του Παντοδύναμου Θεού, η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ καταλήγει να κατανοήσει την αλήθεια και καταφέρνει να κρίνει σωστά τις φήμες και τις πλάνες που διαδίδονται από τους πάστορες και τους πρεσβυτέρους. Τελικά, καταλαβαίνει με ποιον τρόπο ο Κύριος κρούει τις θύρες των ανθρώπων κατά την επιστροφή Του στις έσχατες ημέρες και πώς θα πρέπει να Τον υποδεχτεί η ίδια. Όταν καθαρίζει η «ομίχλη», η Γιανγκ Αϊγκουάνγκ ακούει επιτέλους τη φωνή του Θεού και αναγνωρίζει ότι ο Παντοδύναμος Θεός είναι πράγματι η επιστροφή του Κυρίου Ιησού!

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

CASTELLANO

La salamanquesa común (Tarentola mauritanica) es un pequeño reptil de la familia Gekkonidae ampliamente distribuido por los países de la cuenca del Mediterráneo.

 

En Portugal recibe el nombre de osga, en Galicia salmantesa, en Canarias prácan, perenquén o perinquén, en Cataluña, Valencia y Baleares dragó o dragonet y en Extremadura santorrostro. Es bastante común en la Península Ibérica, excepto en la Cornisa Cantábrica, con frecuencia conviviendo con los seres humanos en edificios de pueblos y ciudades, donde causa espanto e incluso repugnancia a parte de la población (saurofobia), aunque es totalmente inofensiva.

 

Ha sido introducida en las islas Baleares en el Mediterráneo, en las islas Canarias y archipiélago de Madeira y en el continente americano en Montevideo (Uruguay), Asunción (Paraguay) y Buenos Aires (Argentina) (donde se denomina lagartija), y California (Estados Unidos).

 

Las salamanquesas comunes son animales nocturnos, aunque en ocasiones se muestran activas en torno al crepúsculo o incluso durante el día, especialmente en los días soleados del fin del invierno. Sienten preferencia por los lugares soleados próximos a sus escondrijos.

 

Se alimentan principalmente de insectos en los meses calurosos del año y a menudo se encuentran cazando los insectos nocturnos que son atraídos por luces, lámparas, etc.

 

Incuban dos huevos casi esféricos dos veces al año, alrededor de abril y junio. Después de cuatro meses nacen las pequeñas salamanquesas con menos de 5 cm de longitud. Crecen muy lentamente y viven hasta 8 años en cautividad. Comen, grillos, polillas, moscas, mosquitas, etc ya que son insectívoras.

ENGLISH

Tarentola mauritanica is a species of gecko (Gekkonidae) native to the Western Mediterranean region of Europe and North Africa and widely introduced to North America and Asia. It is commonly observed on walls in urban environments, mainly in warm coastal areas, though it can spread inland - especially in Spain. A robust species, up to 150 millimetres long, its tubercules are enlarged and give the species a spiny armoured appearance.

 

The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Its widespread introduction has attracted many common names, including variants on Common or Moorish Wall Gecko and Salamanquesa, Crocodile gecko, European common gecko, and Maurita naca gecko.

 

Mainly nocturnal or crepuscular. Also active during the day, on sunny days at the end of the winter especially. They like to receive sunlight near their refuge. They hunt insects and in the warmer months of the year it can be found hunting nocturnal insects near light sources, street lamps, etc. They lay 2 almost-spherical eggs twice a year around April and June. After 4 months, little salamanquesas of less than 5 cm in length are born. Moorish geckos are slow to mature, taking 4 to 5 years in captivity.

 

The introduction of the species may impact on native fauna, by preying on frogs and smaller lizards. The adoption of this species as a pet has led to populations becoming established in Florida and elsewhere.

www.emergencyrooms.org/biennalist.html

 

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

**************************

 

I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that, until last night, I had never been to a professional football game in my life. Baseball, basketball, and tennis: yes, of course. High-school and college football games: sure, though that was a long time ago. Indeed, the last college football game I watched (in person) was in the mid-60s, when I was invited to the annual Harvard-Yale game by a Radcliffe student I had begun dating -- a development to which my MIT college roommate reacted, in shock, by howling, "Radcliffe? You're dating a Cliffie? She must be a pig!" After which he pulled out his flute, every time he thought she might be present when he returned to our off-campus apartment, and played "Old McDonald Had a Farm" until he collapsed in gales of laughter on the stairwell. Highly inaccurate, I hasten to note, and totally unfair. But I digress...

 

Anyway, a freelance writer, Mitch Ligon (whose photo you can see here in one of my Flickr sets), invited me to accompany him last night to the New York Jets - Philadelphia Eagles game out in the New Jersey Meadowlands -- another first-time experience. I was given a photographer's press pass, which gave me access to the locker rooms, press box, various other "inner sanctum" locations ... and, most important, the football field itself. I was given a red jersey to wear, told to stay outside the yellow dashed lines that ring the field, and turned loose for the evening. I felt somewhat inadequate, because I knew that the "real" professional photographers would be equipped with high-cameras and monstrous telephoto lenses beyond anything I had ever touched, or could possibly afford; and even though my Nikon D300 and 70-300mm zoom lens is fairly respectable in amateur circles, I had no idea if I would be able to take any decent photos at all...

 

The other problem is that I know little or nothing about the nuances of football, beyond the obvious fact that the quarterback either passes the ball, or hands off to someone who attempts to run the ball downfield. Punts and field-goal kicks are also a familiar concept, but if you don't have a good anticipatory sense of who is about to do what to whom, it's easy to miss the "moment" when the perfect shot might be available. Also, I didn't really know anything about the players, aside from the respective star quarterbacks: Philadelphia's controversial Michael Vick, and New York's newly-named starting quarterback, Mark Sanchez. I had looked at the team rosters on the Internet before the game, so at least I knew their jersey numbers (#6 for Sanchez, and #7 for Vick, as you'll see in the photos) -- but the "action" was often so far away (at the other end of the field) that I couldn't tell whether the starting quarterback, or one of the substitutes, was making the plays.

 

Nevertheless, by the beginning of the second quarter I was feeling a little more comfortable -- if only because I found it easy to follow along behind the other professional photographers as they marched (or ran) from one end of the field to the other, in order to get their equipment set up for what they expected would be the next great shot. By the end of the game, I had taken 1,100+ photos, including several of Michael Vick in a post-game locker-room interview; and from the sound of the clickety-click-clack of my fellow photographers, I could tell that many of them had taken several thousand. I'll spare you the technical details of my feeble attempts to get some decent shots; I had picked up some good tips from the sports-photography chapter of Scott Kelby's Digital Photography, and I did my best within the limitations of my equipment and my lack of familiarity with the situation.

 

What impressed me most about the whole experience was the scale of modern professional football -- the scale of everything. It's one thing to read that there are 80,000 people in a football stadium; it's another thing to actually be there and hear the simultaneous roar of those 80,000 people as a quarterback is sacked or a long pass is completed. It's one thing to read that a professional football player is 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 350 pounds; it's another thing to stand next to several dozen such giants. Heck, I thought there were only 20 or 30 such giants on each team; I had no idea that there were 64 of them (a number which will be pared down as the pre-season comes to an end), or that there might be 20-30 different coaches. And then there are the hundreds of "staff members" scurrying around all over the place, carrying out their various duties and assignments; and there are the security guards and State Police, who spent most of the time scanning the stadium crowd rather than watching the players, presumably watching for scuffles or fights or ... well, who knows what. There are cheerleaders too, in this case bearing the official name of New York Jets Flight Crew; I had expected half a dozen, but there were two dozen perky, long-haired beauties, with permanently frozen smiles, who who danced and pranced before the crowd at every conceivable opportunity.

 

All of this has resulted in the photos you'll see in this album. I had to delete roughly a hundred of my original images, because they were out of focus, or because a referee decided to walk in front of my camera at the wrong moment; and another 900 were "okay," but not terribly exciting. I'm sure that none of them are as crisp, sharp, and well-composed as those taken by the Sports Illustrated photographer and the other professionals on the field; but I did end up with 72 "keepers" that I hope you'll enjoy...

 

... and, yes, I probably will attend another football game or two in the years ahead. Whether I'm lucky enough to get down on the field again is anyone's guess....
