Kowloon Park
Hong-Kong
Located in the central zone of Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong, Kowloon Park is one of the largest parks in Kowloon, covering an area of about 13.5 hectares (about 33 acres). It is said to be the 'green lung' at the centre of city.
The park was opened by the then Governor, Sir David Trench on June 24th. In 1989, it was rebuilt, funded by the former Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club at a cost of about HK$300 million.
The park was built in a classical Chinese style, and is visited by many tourists. Flowers and trees are plenty in the park. There is an attractive variety of rarely-seen beautiful birds and flowers.
The park boasts an abundance of scenic spots and enough establishments for tourists to enjoy themselves. The scenic spots mainly include the Maze Garden, Color Garden, Chinese Garden, Roof Gardens, Banyan Court and Bird Lake. And the establishments comprise a mini soccer pitch, the Fitness Trail, Children's Playground, Discovery Playground, Sculpture Walk & Sculpture Garden, a piazza, an aviary, a swimming pool and a sports center. The swimming pool is one of the best equipped in Hong Kong and can hold 1,500 people.
From 07:30 to 09:30 on Fridays, the park provides the activity of watching birds for tourists free of charge. The gathering point is at the arcade of the park. And from 14:30 to 16:30 on Sundays, there are free performances on the Sculpture Walk, including lion/dragon dance and different disciplines of martial arts. Additionally, from 13:00 to 19:00 on Sundays and public holidays, at the loggia of the park exit, there are many stalls selling Chinese traditional handworks, calligraphy and many other souvenirs.
Next to the park is the Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard which imitates the American style. The shops there mainly sell the clothes from the native or abroad, which are very popular with the young people. After shopping, you can go to the park and find a comfortable place for a rest.

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

documenta fifteen18 June 2022 – 25 September 2022 in Kasselruangrupa[22]
2012's edition was organized around a central node, the trans-Atlantic melding of two distinct individuals who first encountered each other in the "money-soaked deserts of the United Arab Emirates". As an organizing principle it is simultaneously a commentary on the romantic potentials of globalization and also a critique of how digital platforms can complicate or interrogate the nature of such relationships. Curatorial agents refer to the concept as possessing a "fricative potential for productive awkwardness," wherein a twosome is formed for the purposes of future exploration.[23]
Venues
documenta is held in different venues in Kassel. Since 1955, the fixed venue has been the Fridericianum. The documenta-Halle was built in 1992 for documenta IX and now houses some of the exhibitions. Other venues used for documenta have included the Karlsaue park, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, the Neue Galerie, the Ottoneum, and the Kulturzentrum Schlachthof. Though Okwui Enezor notably tried to subvert the euro-centric approach documenta had taken, he instigated a series of five platforms before the Documenta11 in Vienna, Berlin, New Delhi, St Lucia, and Lagos, in an attempt to take documenta into a new post-colonial, borderless space, from which experimental cultures could emerge. documenta 12 occupied five locations, including the Fridericianum, the Wilhelmshöhe castle park and the specially constructed "Aue-Pavillon", or meadow pavilion, designed by French firm Lacaton et Vassal.[24] At documenta (13) (2012), about a fifth of the works were unveiled in places like Kabul, Afghanistan, and Banff, Canada.[13]
There are also a number of works that are usually presented outside, most notably in Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Fridericianum, and the Karlsaue park. To handle the number of artworks at documenta IX, five connected temporary "trailers" in glass and corrugated metal were built in the Karlsaue.[25] For documenta (13), French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal constructed the temporary "Aue-Pavillon" in the park.
Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus Rucker und Co.
A few of the works exhibited at various documentas remained as purchases in Kassel museums. They include 7000 Eichen by Joseph Beuys; Rahmenbau (1977) by Haus-Rucker-Co; Laserscape Kassel (1977) by Horst H. Baumann; Traumschiff Tante Olga (1977) by Anatol Herzfeld; Vertikaler Erdkilometer by Walter De Maria; Spitzhacke (1982) by Claes Oldenburg; Man walking to the sky (1992) by Jonathan Borofsky; and Fremde by Thomas Schütte (one part of the sculptures are installed on Rotes Palais at Friedrichsplatz, the other on the roof of the Concert Hall in Lübeck).
documenta archive
The extensive volume of material that is regularly generated on the occasion of this exhibition prompted Arnold Bode to create an archive in 1961. The heart of the archive’s collection comes from the files and materials of the documenta organization. A continually expanding video and image archive is also part of the collection as are the independently organized bequests of Arnold Bode and artist Harry Kramer.
Management
Visitors
In 1992, on the occasion of documenta IX, for the first time in the history of the documenta, more than half a million people traveled to Kassel.[26] The 2002 edition of documenta attracted 650,000 visitors, more than triple Kassel's population.[27] In 2007, documenta 12 drew 754,000 paying visitors, with more than one-third of the visitors coming from abroad and guests from neighboring Netherlands, France, Belgium and Austria among the most numerous.[28] In 2012, documenta (13) had 904,992 visitors.[21]

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

Cómo enamorar a una mujer: 10 consejos para lograrlo
10 Consejos de cómo enamorar a una mujer
A muchos hombres se les hace difícil enamorar a una mujer, hablarles, invitarlas a salir y lograr que sean sus novias. Generalmente pasa por el desconocimiento de qué les gusta a las mujeres de un hombre. A continuación les enseñaremos cómo enamorar a una mujer.
#1 Hombre seguro
Despójate de los nervios y trata de estar seguro de ti mismo, demuestra tu carácter, sé un hombre que respeta y que se hace respetar. Tenlo por seguro que ellas preferirán mil veces un hombre con quien sentirse en confianza que tener al frente suyo unos músculos bien definidos.
#2 No mentir nunca
Para una mujer la sinceridad es la cualidad más valiosa que admiran de un hombre. Tampoco debes fingir algo que no eres realmente, muéstrate tal cual. Las mujeres tiene un agudizimo olfato para identificar cuándo un hombre les miente.
#3 Invítala a salir
Toda mujer quedará maravillada si la sorprendes invitándola a salir a un sitio que tú haz escogido, sobre todo si tu tomas el mando de la situación. Llévala a lugares especiales y diferentes así le demostraras con tu esfuerzo lo interesado que estas en ella.
#4 Limpio y bien vestido
Toda mujer se fija hasta en el más mínimo detalle, es importante vestir adecuadamente con una camisa y unos buenos zapatos, además del peinado y la limpieza corporal. Ellas se derriten cuando ven a un chico en camisa.
#5 Hombre de proyectos
Comparte con ella a qué te dedicas y sobre todo qué proyectos tienes para el futuro. Qué aspiraciones tienes tienes en la vida, ello la hará saber que no eres una persona sin metas mi ideales.
#6 No piropos
No caigas en las siempre repetidas frases de amor que se usan comúnmente. No caigas en lo vulgar, si vas a decirle palabras bonitas que salgan corazón, estas deben ser románticas y sutiles. ¡Las tendrás en tus manos!.
#7 Hazla reír
Evita los temas aburridos, hablen de cualquier cosa e identifica qué es lo que le hace reír. Si vez que ella no para de reír, vas por muy buen camino y aunque no lo crees estarás haciendo que ella se enamore de ti.
Cómo enamorar a una mujer: Hazla reír siempre.
#8 Detalles sorpresa
Debes saber que a las mujeres no esperan el regalo más costoso, esperan un detalle hecho por ti mismo en el que hayas invertido tu tiempo y tu cariño en hacerlo. Si es el caso que el presente no es hecho por ti, procura dé en el clavo con lo que a ella le guste, que recuerdes las cosas que le gustan y que dedique tiempo en buscar el adecuado bastará para conquistarla.
#9 Dile lo que sientes
A los hombres por lo general les cuesta decir lo que sienten un “te quiero”, “te amo” o “te extraño”. Dile lo que sientes por ella poco a poco, con tus propias palabras, si te apresuras mucho parecerás desesperado y no queremos eso.
#10 No sexo
Si hay algo que espanta a las mujeres es que en las primeras citas demuestres que quieres tener intimidad con ellas. Pensaran que sólo buscas sexo, las mujeres son muy sensibles respecto a ese tema y opinan que se da en una etapa más avanzada de la relación. ¡Ten mucho cuidado!
Con estos 10 consejos de cómo enamorar a una mujer estas más que preparado para conquistar a cualquier mujer ¡Suerte!

York Rite of Masonry - Oldest Freemason Branch
The symbolic degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason, as conferred in Canada, are degrees of the York Rite.
York Masonry is the oldest and best known of all Masonic Rites.
It takes its name from York, England, where the earliest known record of Masonry exists, dating from about A.D. 923.
Masonry´s first written record is centered around York, the seat of the Ancient York Grand Lodge. In 1813, this Grand Lodge merged with another group called the Modern Grand Lodge, to form the United Grand Lodge of England. This is the basis upon which our present system of Symbolic Lodge Masonry is built.
You, as a Master Mason, have received the first three degrees of the York Rite. Having begun your Masonic work in the York Rite, it is natural that you should want to continue with it.
According to Masonic legend, every man raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason received “substitute secrets”, as the “true secrets” were lost. It may prove a surprise to the average man, believing his work is completed, to be told that the secrets pertaining to the ceremony will not be given to him! This is unfortunate, but the veil is lifted in the degree of the Royal Arch, and in that degree only. Hence, no man actually becomes a Master Mason until he is exalted to that holy order.
Some would have the newly raised Master Mason believe that he can receive the secrets and word in a degree other than the Royal Arch. This is not true, historically or otherwise. The mother Grand Lodge of England was so emphatic regarding the necessity of the Royal Arch degree that many years ago, it set forth this as Paragraph One (1) of its Laws and Regulations:
“By the solemn act of the union between the two Grand Lodges of Freemasons of England in December, 1813, it was declared and pronounced that Pure Ancient Masonry consists of three degrees and no more, viz: those of the Entered Apprentice, the Fellowcraft, and the Master Mason, INCLUDING THE SUPREME ORDER OF THE HOLY ROYAL ARCH.”
On the North American Continent, there are additional degrees in the system, supplementing the work of the Lodge, Chapter, and Council, and the Orders conferred in the Commandery have been arranged into a system or Rite referred to as the American, Canadian, or York Rite of Freemasonry. It is American in structure, as it is a democratic organization in which every member has a voice and a right to be heard.
2. ROYAL ARCH MASONRY
The various local Chapters operate under the jurisdiction of the “Grand Chapter” of Province - Royal Arch Masons of Canada in the Province of Ontario. There is also the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons International. The General Grand Chapter constitutes the largest Masonic Body in the world though it is not recognized by the Province.
The Chapter confers four degrees (Capitular Degrees), giving a complete story of Masonic symbolism, in the following order:
bullet
Mark Master
bullet
Past Master (Virtual) (International not Ontarian)
bullet
Most Excellent Master
bullet
Royal Arch
The Mark Master degree is perhaps the oldest Masonic degree, and is one of the most highly respected. It teaches practical lessons for everyday living. This degree supplements the Fellowcraft Degree.
The Past Master degree teaches the candidate the important duties and responsibilities of the Oriental Chair, and is qualification for advancement.
It is commonly known that the symbolism of Freemasonry surrounds the building of the Temple. In symbolic Free-Masonry, the Temple is never completed. In the Most Excellent Master degree, we are taught the lessons of the completion and dedication of the Temple.
In the degree of the Royal Arch, the epitome of Masonic symbolism is found. It has been said “the Royal Arch is the root, heart and marrow of Masonry, without knowledge of which the Masonic character cannot be complete”.
The Royal Arch degree is the completion of the whole system of Freemasonry. Having begun regular advancement through the Symbolic Lodge, it is the duty of each Master Mason to complete the degree series. He who has sought further Masonic education should return to the Symbolic Lodge, retrace his steps and advance through the Rite until he can receive the climax of Masonic symbolism, as taught in the Royal Arch.
Only those who have attained the Royal Arch may be said to have completed their Masonic Work.
3. CRYPTIC MASONRY
The Councils of Cryptic Masons operate under the jurisdiction of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of each state and most Grand Councils operate under the General Grand Council of the United States. They confer the following three degrees:
bullet
Royal Master
bullet
Select Master
bullet
Super Excellent Master
Without the Royal and Select Master degrees, neither the Master Mason degree nor the Royal Arch degree is complete. These two degrees account for the concealment and preservation of the treasures revealed in the Royal Arch.
The Super Excellent Master is an honorary degree, qualifications for which are fulfilled by virtue of being in good standing in a Council. This degree is the most dramatic and spectacular of all Masonic systems.
4. KNIGHT TEMPLAR MASONRY
Local Commanderies are governed by the Grand Commandery of each jurisdiction.
In the Commandery, the Chivalric Orders of Christian Knighthood are conferred as follows:
bullet
The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross
bullet
The Order of Knight of Malta
bullet
The Order of the Temple
The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross is founded upon Truth – a divine attribute, the foundation of every virtue.
Knights of Malta. First called Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem are known to have been in existence as early as 1099 A.D. It was the first organized body whose avowed purpose was the aid and care of those injured on a battlefield. The teaching of Christian applications of Masonic precepts begins with this Order.
The Order of the Temple is the crowning glory of York Rite Masonry. It is widely regarded as the most solemn and impressive experience in Masonry. Here the aspirant progresses in the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth. At the empty tomb grows a sprig of acacia, teaching that we shall dwell forever in the realms of life and light eternal.
Freemasonry demands only a belief in a monotheistic God, where Hindu, Muslim, Jew and Gentile may together worship around its alters. The Christian Freemason alone has at his disposal a branch of the fraternity where he is free to interpret the teachings of the Symbolic Lodge according to his religious belief. The Masonic Orders of Christian Knighthood are the logical outcome of the Christian Mason´s belief in Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. That Mason believes Christ´s hand will raise the dead to life, and in His Holy Name the True Word is found and restored at last. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.
WHAT DOES YORK RITE MASONRY OFFER?
The noble heritage of York Masonry is yours to take. The regular meetings of the various grades are conducive to firmer relationships and a closer spirit of brotherly love. Being a York Rite Mason does not mean you are elevated to a “higher rank´. It is an educational tool to help you realize the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man in your own life. We trust the foregoing has increased your interest in the York Rite.
York Rite of Masonry - Oldest Freemason Branch
The symbolic degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason, as conferred in Canada, are degrees of the York Rite.
York Masonry is the oldest and best known of all Masonic Rites.
It takes its name from York, England, where the earliest known record of Masonry exists, dating from about A.D. 923.

Some would have the newly raised Master Mason believe that he can receive the secrets and word in a degree other than the Royal Arch. This is not true, historically or otherwise. The mother Grand Lodge of England was so emphatic regarding the necessity of the Royal Arch degree that many years ago, it set forth this as Paragraph One (1) of its Laws and Regulations:

It is American in structure, as it is a democratic organization in which every member has a voice and a right to be heard.
Sanctioned by Grand Lodge
The Grand Lodge of York, in 1780, gave its sanction to the working of five separated degrees or orders:
bullet
The Entered Apprentice.
bullet
The Fellowcraft.
bullet
The Master Mason.
bullet
The Royal Arch.
bullet
The Knight Templar.
The United Grand Lodge of England, the Mother of regular and legitimate Freemasonry in the world, set forth at the time of the Union the following: "It is declared and pronounced that pure and Ancient Craft Masonry consists of three degrees and no more, namely, those of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason, including the Holy Royal Arch.
And that the Grand Lodge might not create any misconstruction of their declaration, it was added:
"This article is not intended to prevent any Lodge or Chapter from holding meetings in any of the degrees of Chivalry, according to the Constitution of said Order."
Thus, the Order of the Temple was given an official place and standing in the structure of Masonry.
During the early and unwritten history of the Masonic Fraternity, there was a strong tone of Christianity which ran throughout the Symbolic structure, but by the time Anderson published his Constitutions, Christianity was virtually taken out of the ritual and Constitutions, because of a great desire to make the fraternity such as might be acceptable to men of any religion who subscribe to a belief in a Supreme Being.
Removal of Christian Symbolism
This was truly unfortunate for those who interpreted the Lodge symbols as Christian doctrines. To deprive Freemasonry of the Ancient Craft of its Christian symbolism in an attempt to make it more universal, was, to them, unmasonic, and characterized as being compared to "removing a Masterpiece of Art from a gallery, or depriving a Crown of its Most Precious Jewel.
And the Christian Freemason sought out an Order which interpreted his Freemasonry in the Light of the New Dispensation.
He ended his search when he entered any asylum of Knights Templar.
It was Dr. William F. Kuhn, the great Masonic thinker, who said: "Freemasonry is not a series of degrees to give those who have the money to purchase them, certain titles and decorations, for even in Freemasonry 'a fool may be a belted Knight', and an Entered Apprentice may have a clearer conception of God and man's relation to Him, than he who wears the insignia of the highest rank. Moral conception does not exist merely in believing but in believing and doing. The Stoics of Rome persuaded themselves to believe that they were of Divine Essence and elaborated a finely spun system of philosophy, but they permitted the poor to lie starving at their doors."
Templars believe in practice; their charities may not be proclaimed from the house tops, but the records of the smallest preceptor of Knights Templar should prove that Charity and Hospitality are yet the grand characteristics of this great Christian Order. Templary realizes that it is hypocritical to profess and teach great platitudes without making an honest effort to practice what is professed. Our governing body (Sovereign Great Priory) administers a substantial fund known as The Knights Templar Charitable Foundation, contributed to by all members and administered without ostentation. This fund originally designed for orphans of deceased Knights Templar is also used for many deserving welfare cases and education of deserving students, including those for the ministry.
What are the Chivalric Orders?
We have referred to the Orders conferred by a Preceptory. In Canada the work of the Preceptory is divided into three parts:
bullet
The Order of the Red Cross.
bullet
The Orders of Mediterranean Pass and Malta.
bullet
The Orders of the Temple.
The Red Cross Order is not, strictly speaking, a Christian Order. Its value in the Templar system is its bridging of the gap between the Royal Arch degree and the Order of the Temple. It is a story founded upon an important period in Hebrew history and stresses Faith in God, the importance of Truth, and the value of Liberty and Justice.
The Order of Malta brings to the novitiate the story of another of the great Chivalric Orders, whose deeds of heroism fill the pages of history, and whose Christian character forms a bright page in religious history.
The most striking degree or Order in Masonry in the opinion of most expert ritualists is the Order of Consecration as set out in the Canadian Work. It is rightly described as the "ne plus ultra" of the Masonic system and is especially appreciated by all Christian Freemasons. We cannot describe its beauty or the impressions which are created in the mind of the Candidate. It must be seen to be appreciated.
Rise up, 0 Men of God
Have done with lesser things
Give Heart and Soul and Mind and Strength
To serve the King of Kings.
Lift high the Cross of Christ
Tread where His feet have trod
As brothers of the Son of Man
Rise up, O Men of God.
To Royal Arch Masonry has been given the WORD. To Knights Templar is given the INTERPRETATION.

Breaking Bad Seasons 1-3 DVD Box Set
Breaking Bad Season 3 DVD Box Set
One of several fascinating original series from cable's American Movie Channel, Breaking Bad was produced by Vince Gilligan of X-Files fame. Former Malcolm in the Middle regular Bryan Cranston starred as high school chemistry teacher Walter White, who at age 49 was told that he was suffering from terminal lung cancer--even though he'd never smoked a cigarette in his life. Unable to pay for his medical treatment or provide for the future financial security of his pregnant wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) and his son Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte), the latter a victim of cerebral palsy, Walter began moonlighting at a car wash. When this proved inadequate to make ends meet, Walter entered into a slighly unholy alliance with former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). Using Walter's chemical knowhow, the two partners set up a crystal meth lab, with Walter supplying and Jesse dealing. Now the unfortunate Mr. White found himself straddling two worlds, one legitimate, one definitely not. Adding to Walter's crown of thorns was the omnipresence of his brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris), a DEA agent who'd been trying to bust Jesse for several months--and who of course had to be kept completely in the dark as to Walter's new "sideline." Breaking Bad debuted on January 20, 2008.

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes
Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6lak?playlist=x34ije - Rue neuve 1956 la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, villes, villages, grands ensembles réalisation : Jack Pinoteau , Panorama de la reconstruction de la France dix ans après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, ce film de commande évoque les villes et villages français détruits puis reconstruits dans un style respectant la tradition : Saint-Malo, Gien, Thionville, Ammerschwihr, etc. ainsi que la reconstruction en rupture avec l'architecture traditionnelle à Châtenay-Malabry, Arles, Saint Étienne, Évreux, Chambéry, Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Abbeville, Le Havre, Marseille, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Dunkerque. Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement".

Persecución Religiosa: Interrogatorio en clase
Era un día soleado, y en el aula resonó la voz alta de la docente china. Boqian y sus compañeros de clase escuchaban a la maestra con atención. De repente, se abrió la puerta y entró el subdirector de la sección educativa. Le susurró algo al maestro chino, luego el profesor chino dejó de dar una conferencia y se hizo a un lado. El subdirector tomó el puntero, golpeó dos veces en la pizarra y luego preguntó con voz severa: "¡Todos! ¿Hay algún creyente de Dios en tu familia"? Los estudiantes negaron con la cabeza y respondieron: "No". Boqian, que se estaba sentado en el medio de la tercera fila, comentó ligeramente, que sus padres eran creyentes en Dios. Recordó que su madre una vez le había dicho, "China es un estado autoritario sin libertad religiosa. El PCCh no permite que las personas adoren al Dios verdadero, sino que se resisten fanáticamente a Él y a Su obra. Los creyentes en China corren el peligro de ser arrestados en cualquier momento o lugar y sufrir la cruel persecución del PCCh". Boqian sabía que nunca les diría a los maestros que él y sus padres creían en Dios, de lo contrario las consecuencias serían inimaginables.
El subdirector parecía insatisfecho con las respuestas de los estudiantes, y luego sacó del bolsillo un reproductor MP5 negro, lo levantó y les dijo a los estudiantes: "¿Quién ha visto alguna vez a un jugador así? ¿De quién es la familia que tiene ese jugador"? Muchos estudiantes se miraron el uno al otro y no sabían qué tenía que ver el reproductor del MP5 con la investigación de si había algún creyente en sus familias. Pero Boqian sabía claramente en su corazón que los hermanos y hermanas de la iglesia, incluyendo a sus padres, solían usar este tipo de reproductor para leer la palabra de Dios, escuchar himnos y ver películas del evangelio, pero no se atrevió a decir una palabra. Temió que le daría algo a la maestra. Luego, el subdirector miró a cada estudiante y dijo con dureza: "Quien sea que hable es un buen estudiante y será citado. Si descubro que alguien sabía algo y no lo dice, será disciplinado y nunca podrá graduarse sin problemas". Después de escuchar eso, Boqian se sintió nervioso nuevamente. Una vez más, pensó en las palabras de su madre: "El gobierno del PCCh está lleno de astutos trucos. Instalan cámaras en las calles para monitorear a los creyentes; además, van de puerta en puerta realizando inspecciones para buscar a los creyentes a fin de verificar las tarjetas de residencia, y también utilizan unidades de trabajo y escuelas para investigar si hay algún creyente en la familia de alguien. Una vez que encuentran a un creyente de Dios, lo arrestarán y perseguirán, y sus incrédulos miembros de la familia se verán implicados y perderán sus trabajos, y sus hijos perderán las oportunidades de seguir estudiando. El gobierno del PCCh realiza investigaciones tan fanáticamente solo por el deseo delirante de capturar a todos los cristianos y establecer un país sin Dios en China". Boqian sabía que la razón por la que el líder de la escuela actuó de esa manera ese día fue porque ellos eran dirigidos por el PCCh. Para encontrar a los creyentes de Dios, obligaron a los estudiantes a hablar sobre si había creyentes en sus familias a través de engaños y amenazas. El PCCh fue de hecho demasiado insidioso y malvado. Pensando en eso, Boqian se dio cuenta de que el truco de Satanás se escondía detrás de este acontecimiento. Si él era tímido y temeroso, los maestros verían los agujeros, lo que pondría en peligro a su familia y a los hermanos y hermanas. Decidió que, en cualquier caso, no vendería a sus hermanos y hermanas, y mucho menos traicionaría a Dios, y que oraría a Dios y confiaría en Él para vencer la tentación repentina de Satanás.

Deep Space - Hubble Photo
See more:
www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/xdf.html
FROM NASA:
Called the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky at the center of the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The XDF is a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full moon.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is an image of a small area of space in the constellation Fornax, created using Hubble Space Telescope data from 2003 and 2004. By collecting faint light over many hours of observation, it revealed thousands of galaxies, both nearby and very distant, making it the deepest image of the universe ever taken at that time.
The new full-color XDF image is even more sensitive, and contains about 5,500 galaxies even within its smaller field of view. The faintest galaxies are one ten-billionth the brightness of what the human eye can see.
This video zooms into the small areas of sky that the Hubble Space Telescope was aimed at to construct the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF. The region is located in the southern sky, far away from the glare of the Milky Way, the bright plane of our galaxy. In terms of angular size, the field is a fraction the angular diameter of the full moon, yet it contains thousands of galaxies stretching back across time. (Credit: NASA; ESA; and G. Bacon and Z. Levay, STScI)

Magnificent spiral galaxies similar in shape to our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy appear in this image, as do the large, fuzzy red galaxies where the formation of new stars has ceased. These red galaxies are the remnants of dramatic collisions between galaxies and are in their declining years. Peppered across the field are tiny, faint, more distant galaxies that were like the seedlings from which today's magnificent galaxies grew. The history of galaxies -- from soon after the first galaxies were born to the great galaxies of today, like our Milky Way -- is laid out in this one remarkable image.
Hubble pointed at a tiny patch of southern sky in repeat visits (made over the past decade) for a total of 50 days, with a total exposure time of 2 million seconds. More than 2,000 images of the same field were taken with Hubble's two premier cameras: the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3, which extends Hubble's vision into near-infrared light.

This illustration compares the angular size of the XDF field to the angular size of the full moon. A finger held at arm's length would appear to be about twice the width of the moon in this image. Note that this illustration does not show the actual observation of the XDF relative to the location of the moon. (Illustration Credit: NASA; ESA; and Z. Levay, STScI; Moon Image Credit: T.

"The XDF is the deepest image of the sky ever obtained and reveals the faintest and most distant galaxies ever seen. XDF allows us to explore further back in time than ever before", said Garth Illingworth of the University of California at Santa Cruz, principal investigator of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2009 (HUDF09) program.

Illingworth, UCO/Lick Observatory and the University of California, Santa Cruz; R. Bouwens, UCO/Lick Observatory and Leiden University; and the HUDF09 Team)

› More info from HubbleSite.org
The universe is 13.7 billion years old, and the XDF reveals galaxies that span back 13.2 billion years in time. Most of the galaxies in the XDF are seen when they were young, small, and growing, often violently as they collided and merged together. The early universe was a time of dramatic birth for galaxies containing brilliant blue stars extraordinarily brighter than our sun. The light from those past events is just arriving at Earth now, and so the XDF is a "time tunnel into the distant past." The youngest galaxy found in the XDF existed just 450 million years after the universe's birth in the big bang.
Before Hubble was launched in 1990, astronomers could barely see normal galaxies to 7 billion light-years away, about halfway across the universe. Observations with telescopes on the ground were not able to establish how galaxies formed and evolved in the early universe.
Hubble gave astronomers their first view of the actual forms and shapes of galaxies when they were young. This provided compelling, direct visual evidence that the universe is truly changing as it ages. Like watching individual frames of a motion picture, the Hubble deep surveys reveal the emergence of structure in the infant universe and the subsequent dynamic stages of galaxy evolution.
The infrared vision of NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope will be aimed at the XDF. The Webb telescope will find even fainter galaxies that existed when the universe was just a few hundred million years old. Because of the expansion of the universe, light from the distant past is stretched into longer, infrared wavelengths. The Webb telescope's infrared vision is ideally suited to push the XDF even deeper, into a time when the first stars and galaxies formed and filled the early "dark ages" of the universe with light.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md., conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., in Washington.

Expo in the City est le premier magazine gratuit dédié aux expositions parisiennes ; l’occasion nous a été donnée de poser quelques questions à Fleur Baudon, directrice de la publication et Arnaud Chedal-Anglay, fondateur et rédacteur en chef du magazine.
Bonjour à tous les deux, racontez-nous l’idée de départ, sa concrétisation et parlez-nous de l’équipe !
L’idée de départ : rendre un peu « sexy » les expos, dépoussiérer tout ça. Créer un magazine urbain, sympathique, résolument moderne, qui donne envie de sortir pour aller voir une expo avec ses amis, son amour, ses parents ou ses enfants.
Un magazine convivial, qui se partage, tout comme ses bons plans.
Un magazine pratique qui tient dans la poche.
Un magazine gratuit, pour une vraie promotion de l’Art à Paris, sans clivage.
Pour la première fois, un classement des expos en ligne avec les envies et les attentes des parisiens. Pas d’expo ‘’beaux arts’’ ou ‘’ sciences et techniques’’, mais les expos à faire le soir après le boulot, les expos gratuites, celles à faire en amoureux ou en famille. Les expos pour frimer le lundi matin au bureau, ou pour occuper les beaux parents qui débarquent !
Expo in the City souhaite faire de chaque sortie expo un vrai bon moment, sympa et inoubliable. Pour cela, nous avons créé les premiers « duos expos », de bonnes petites adresses parisiennes avec les meilleures expositions. Cela permet de prolonger le plaisir de la sortie avec un petit brunch, un resto, un apéro, ou un jardin caché, une boutique insolite…
La concrétisation de cette idée a mis 2 ans, 2 ans pendant lesquels nous avons fait et refait des maquettes de magazines, en interrogeant des parisiens pour vraiment comprendre leurs attentes et leurs envies, et leur offrir le meilleur des expos, dans une version colorée et joyeuse.
L’équipe : Fleur et Arnaud, aidés par nos proches, amis, et familles. Nous avons créé une association qui a pour but de promouvoir l’Art à Paris, de manière accessible et sympa. Nous sommes des indépendants, loin des grands groupes de presse. Des idéalistes ? Des ‘’fous’’ peut-être ? Des passionnés évidemment !
En octobre de cette année, vous avez rassemblé des fonds sur le site de financement participatif KissKissBankBank, comment cela s’est-il passé ?
La démarche nous a permis de récolter 5 000 euros ! Cela nous a permis de nous lancer, en finançant l’impression du premier numéro, et une partie du site web. C’était fou de voir comme ce projet a pu mobiliser des soutiens, nous appuyant dans cette démarche audacieuse.
Présentez-nous la ligne éditoriale de Expo in the City, le positionnement du mag.
Expo in the City est un magazine bimestriel, format poche extrêmement qualitatif, 100 pages en couleur, distribué gratuitement à 20 000 exemplaires dans le cœur de Paris, aux métros, entrées des cinémas, théâtres et musées.
Le ‘’petit livre’’ des expos toujours sur soi !
Nous souhaitons toucher tous les gens passionnés par l’art, mais pas seulement ! L’idée est vraiment d’ouvrir l’art à tous, en faisant re-découvrir les expos de Paris et la richesse culturelle de la capitale, par un classement inédit des expos, pour que chacun puisse trouver l’expo qui lui ressemble, ou l’expo qui convient à chaque occasion.
Nous avons voulu créer le 1er magazine qui ne se jette pas, avec sa sélection d’expos, ses bons plans, ses actus, son format poche ultra-pratique. Nous avons créé un magazine pour chacun et pour tous.
Où peut-on trouver le magazine aujourd’hui ? Peut-on s’abonner ?
Tous les 2 mois, Expo in the City est distribué pendant 2 semaines dans le centre de Paris et en région Parisienne. Aux stations de Métro, dans les files de musées, de cinés, de théâtre, en 20 000 exemplaires. Expo in the City est aussi accessible sur le web www.expointhecity.com/, avec des actus inédites et complémentaires, et des avis d’internautes. Pour ceux qui souhaitent recevoir leur magazine chez eux, nous proposons une formule d’abonnement à 24 euros par an (magazine gratuit + frais de gestion et d’envois), offrant en plus un pass pour Pompidou.
Vous êtes également présent sur le web, pourquoi éditer un magazine papier et un site web ?
Pour nous les deux supports sont complémentaires. L’un se consulte en se feuilletant, dans le métro, dans son salon, dans un café, il se lit. Nous étions très attachés au support papier car nous aimons personnellement lire, et garder nos livres et guides pour les reconsulter à l’envi.
Le site internet est un support complémentaire qui nous permet de suivre l’actualité à la semaine, voire chaque jour. Nous donnons la parole à nos internautes pour nous donner leur avis sur les expos et aider les autres internautes à faire leur choix d’expos. Internet est très vivant, évolue chaque jour. Le magazine est une valeur sûre qui se garde sur soi.
Des projets de développement ? L’envie de décliner le magazine dans une autre ville ?
Nous avons plein d’idées de développement !
Notre premier souhait est de faire grandir Expo in the City, en restant libres et indépendants, ce qui est assez difficile car nos moyens ne sont pas ceux des grands groupes. Nous souhaitons étendre les services que nous proposons à nos lecteurs, toujours dans un esprit de convivialité, par exemple en créant une carte Club permettant d’inviter gratuitement une personne avec soi dans les musées, en organisant des soirées vernissages, des discussions sur des sujets d’expos... Tout en restant sur Paris, peut-être étendrons nous le magazine à la rentrée, a une version sur l’Art en général (musique, théâtre, cinéma, écriture…).
Merci et longue vie à Expo in the City !

Los techos verdes son techos con vegetación, plantas que viven en ellos. Podemos encontrar dos tipos de techos verdes, los intensivos y los extensivos. Para los primeros se necesita una capa de tierra de aproximadamente 30 centímetros y es necesario que la construcción tenga elementos estructurales muy fuertes para soportar el peso de estos techos ecológicos. Los techos verdes intensivos pueden tener una gran variedad de plantas y son muy atractivos pero generalmente requieren de mucho mantenimiento. Debido a esto, son menos comunes que los techos verdes extensivos.
Para los techos verdes extensivos sólo se necesita 7un capa de entre 5 y 10 centímetros de espesor pero es más limitada la variedad de plantas que pueden alojar. En los últimos 50 años han sido muy usados y desarrollados en Europa, y en los últimos tiempos han empezado a implementarse en Latinoamérica.
Los techos verdes tienen muchas ventajas. Principalmente protegen los techos de los rayos solares, los cuales suelen causar grietas en los materiales. Además mantienen el techo más fresco lo cual reduce el efecto de calentamiento, contribuyendo a que las ciudades no estén cada año más calientes. Como consecuencia reduce el consumo energético, ya que no será tan necesaria la utilización de electrodomésticos tales como aires acondicionados, etc.
Los techos verdes extensivos tienen una capa de semillas generalmente de pasto. Poseen plantas de poca raíz y no muy tolerantes al exceso de agua. Al presenta una capa de tierra muy fina, permite la propagación de plantas silvestres, ya que no pueden vivir en ese medio, en cierta forma, árido. Debajo de la capa de tierra se encuentran varias capas más. La primera es una capa de drenaje, la cual permite que el agua se mueva libremente fuera del techo, y por último, una capa de barrera que impide el paso del agua hacia el techo.
Desde el punto de vista de la estética, los techos verdes poseen un aspecto por demás agradable y natural, que brinda a las construcciones un aire natural y fresco. Si usted está pensando en poner un techo en su casa, le recomendamos hacer las averiguaciones previas, para saber si la estructura de su vivienda lo resistirá.

Southern Pacific Railway Post Office #12, Travel Town, Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California
This narrowgauge truck set, cast in Sacramento, CA by Southern Pacific, is one of two designs of 're-gauge-able' trucks on display inside the Travel Town Museum building. The wheels can be detatched from the replaceable axle by four bolts within the inside face, and a new beam can be cut from wood for the bolster support and kingpin. The sliding bearings on the end of each axle predated roller or ball bearings, and could generate a great deal of heat from friction. Hopefully the grease packed under the hinged covers was warm enough to liquify and penetrate the bearing gap. One of the primary reasons a caboose had bay windows or a coupula above, and it's placement at the end of the train, was to keep a vigilant watch for the "hotbox" - an improperly lubricated bearing would cause excessive wear, or start a fire!
Notice that there are no springs in this design, any spring action is from the steel and wood supports.
The axles and crossblocks on this Southern Pacific Railway Post Office #12 bogie truck are fabricated of wood a design to facilitate re-gauging this 3' narrow-gauge truck to standard gauge 4'8½". The trucks are unsprung, which is to say the design does not incorporate springs, and there is a very narrow bolster around the kingpin. So, in addition to feeling every gap in the uneven and wavy rail, swaying and rocking was magnified at speeds above 12 miles per hour - working to precisely sort mail along the route was a very uncomfortable occupation.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY POST OFFICE #12
BUILT: c.1880 BY CARTER BROTHERS
WEIGHT: 13 TONS
LENGTH: 43'
DONATED: 1960 BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
This pre-20th Century, wooden car was put to a variety of uses by its owners: caboose, baggage car, railway postal car, and most notably, a baggage-mail combination. Mail transportation by rail had existed as long as the railroads themselves. In Britain, mail was already being sorted within rail cars in the late 1830's. This practice was imitated on a few American railroads, but came into widespread use only after the Civil War. Perhaps no more efficient mail system could have existed than that of the railway postal system. Both local and long-distance trains included a car equipped with pigeonholes, sorting bags and tables, cancellation stamps, and one or more frenzied clerks trying to sort a bag of mail picked up at one station, before arriving at the next station each would be only ten or twenty minutes down the road. Early in their history, these railway postal cars (RPO's) shared space with express baggage service. Later, as the system grew more elaborate, entire 60- or 80-foot RPO cars were specially built for that purpose, and resembled small versions of a post office.
As with other aspects of railroading, RPO cars and their clerks have a lore all their own. The metal arms which swung out from the side of the car to catch a hanging mail bag when the train was not scheduled to stop at a station are collectors items, as are any existing cancellation stamps. Clerks carried guns for protection against outlaws wanting to steal the mail. In the first decades, clerks worked on cars furnished either with fire-causing wood stoves or without any heat at all. Doors could not be left open for security reasons, so the cars were barely ventilated in the summer heat. If they
had toilet facilities at all, they were crude and rarely private. Sometimes a lone clerk, sometimes a handful of men tripping over and stepping on each other, slaved at sorting and canceling mail, catching a new bag every twenty minutes, and simultaneously kicking off a bag sorted for that stop.
By the 1960's, railway mail, like railway passenger service and some railway freight service, was failing in favor of air transport of mail. The last RPO ran between Washington D. C. and New York in June 30, 1977.

In the United States, wealth is highly concentrated in a relatively few hands. As of 2007, the top 1% of households (the upper class) owned 34.6% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% (the managerial, professional, and small business stratum) had 50.5%, which means that just 20% of the people owned a remarkable 85%, leaving only 15% of the wealth for the bottom 80% (wage and salary workers).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_in_the_United_States
www.999ideas.com/redistribution-of-wealth.html
There's nothing wrong with being wealthy, but how you get there matters. In a fair and free society getting rich does not cause anyone's impoverishment. Historically, we have all benefited from an economy that rewards those who create the most value. . . . The danger of great wealth is that it buys great power, which can be used to take advantage of the poor and middle class. This is what has been happening more and more in recent years. Laws and regulations have been lobbied for and passed which allow the redistribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy.

We have just finished our third week of camp. The Willows campers have been kept very busy these past three weeks. The days have been flying by way too quickly. It was very exciting to have all our Willows family members join us for an outstanding visiting day. The children were extremely excited to share their activities with their parents, while the parents had fun pretending to be campers. We hope you had as much fun as we did and lunch together was terrific.
The children enjoyed this weeks theme of “I Spy”. They had fun decorating binoculars in Camper Creations. In Ceramics, each child enjoyed making their favorite food out of clay with the help of their parents. Their ceramic projects will be sent home shortly. To end our wonderful week, The Willows campers joined the rest of camp at Waterworld. The children drove
water boats and joined in other great water activities. A terrific time was had by all!
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

La idea primordial en la decoración japonesa es transmitir equilibrio y tranquilidad, donde la representación de un color audaz, la textura o el material es suficiente para representarla y la exageración engaña su efecto. La esencia de la decoración interior de estilo japonés es el equilibrio. Blanco y negro son dos colores que se utilizan ampliamente en este estilo de decoración. Comedores y dormitorios son flexibles y se definen por las pantallas móviles. En algunas áreas para dormir hay futones colocados en el suelo por la noche, luego plegados durante el día y a veces guardados, lo que permite más espacio para vivir.
El atractivo de una habitación de estilo japonés, no es sólo su intimidad, sino también ser capaz de sentir la naturaleza al aire libre, mientras se esta en el interior. Ya que las habitaciones tradicionales de estilo japonés están construidas con materiales naturales solamente, tales como madera, papel, piedras, tierra, paja y tela, ofrecen no sólo comodidad, sino también la función de limpiar el aire debido a que el material respira. Los zapatos son retirados en el hall de entrada, y el tatami (esterilla de paja tejida), se pisa con los pies descalzos. La luz del sol brilla a través de las pantallas corredizas de papel, suavemente iluminando las flores que adornan la alcoba.
Gran parte del atractivo de una casa tradicional japonesa se debe a su aspecto limpio y despejado, y el diseño sencillo pero elegante. En el diseño interior japonés no se trata de añadir elementos adicionales a la habitación. El objetivo es reducir al mínimo realmente la distracción y permitir la graciosa belleza de la elección de algunas piezas de mobiliario que combinan con el ambiente y la atmósfera de la habitación.
El efecto y la sensación sólo puede ser descrito como impresionante y el resultado final es un ambiente de descanso, la serenidad tranquila y pacífica.

Elvis' First Limo! This car has a TON of history behind it. The first car purchased by Elvis once he exploded on the scene in the early 1950's, This Cadillac speaks for itself.
Taken from a website I found on the topic:
This Cadillac was on display at the Elvis Presley Museum during the 1990s. Kruse International had it listed as lot No. 3329 for sale at Auburn Fall '99 auction, September 1-7. This vehicle however was not actually at the auction. It was then permanently exhibited at an Elvis Museum in Las Vegas called Elvis-A-Rama.
RM Auctions sold this vehicle at Monterey on August 18 2007. Expecting to fetch $100,000 - $150,000 it realised $275,000! RM Auctions stated:
"Elvis Presley himself purchased chassis no. 557547481. The Cadillac was originally painted in a light blue, but Elvis quickly had it repainted a more appropriate black. Elvis used it to tour throughout the south with his original band members, Scotty Moore, Bill Black and D.J. Fontana. Reportedly, Elvis and his band would strap their instruments to the roof of the car and drive through the night to make it to the next town where they were going to perform.
There is absolutely no question as to the documentation of the sale of the Cadillac Fleetwood to the illustrious Elvis Presley. There are several photos of Elvis with the vehicle, one outside his home in the summer of 1956, as well as another outside the CBS Studios in Los Angeles moments before his first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Also included are the original conditional sales contract and the original 1955 Cadillac Owner’s Manual stating, “Elvis Presley 1034 Audobon Ave. Memphis, Tenn.;” which, it should be noted, is handwritten on the inside back cover".
From Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com/ford/taurus/2008/review.html) -
What Edmunds.com says
The reborn 2008 Ford Taurus hits the dance floor with some fresh moves courtesy of a 263-horsepower V6. The engine upgrade, along with the Five Hundred's pre-existing comfortable cabin, cavernous trunk and top-notch safety scores, make the new Taurus a worthy candidate for a full-size sedan.
Pros
Extra-large backseat and trunk, outstanding crash test scores, comfortable ride, good visibility, available all-wheel drive.
Cons
High front seats create an odd driving position that might be uncomfortable for taller drivers, transmission occasionally slow to downshift.
What's New for 2008
Ford resurrects the Taurus nameplate for 2008 by affixing it to a much-improved Five Hundred. A more powerful engine, a nicer and quieter cabin, a retuned suspension and a corporate three-bar grille are the major highlights.
Introduction
Name recognition and awareness are no doubt important for automotive manufacturers. For example, look no further than the 2008 Ford Taurus. Ford has pulled the Taurus nameplate out of its one-year dirt nap in hopes of getting back into the thick of the large family sedan game. But is the public's awareness of the Taurus name a good thing or bad? Though a hero car back in the 1980s and early '90s, more recent iterations of the Taurus were dated and anonymous, a favorite of image-dulling rental car agencies and a not-so-favorite of middle management types who received them as company cars.
The Taurus revival is combined with the death of the Ford Five Hundred, a large sedan introduced a few years ago that never sold like the company had hoped. Although it offered a large cabin and an impressive ride and handling balance, the Five Hundred was let down by weak engine performance and a lack of refinement.
Thankfully, the 2008 Ford Taurus gains a number of improvements as part of its return. Under that familiar Five Hundred sheet metal are much improved running gear and additional features. In fact, Ford says there are more than 500 changes. A 263-hp V6 replaces the lame 203-hp V6, and a more responsive six-speed automatic replaces the sluggish continuously variable transmission (CVT) across all trim levels.
Other improvements for this large family sedan include the adoption of stability control, a "Ford Sync" system (that allows hands-free use of mobile phones and digital music players), improved cabin materials and more sound insulation for a quieter ride.
With its major performance infusion, addition of key safety and luxury features, and available all-wheel drive, the Ford Taurus is the best it's been in a long time. Given the Taurus' size (along with the fact that the Ford Fusion now battles stalwarts like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry), you'll probably want to cross-shop it against full-size sedans like the Chrysler 300, Hyundai Azera or Toyota Avalon. Though still slightly deficient in terms of style (compared to the 300) or all-around polish, the Taurus is certainly worth consideration.

Delegate Ken Plum describes a visit to Sunrise Valley Park as a "mini vacation":
The Sunrise Valley Wetlands Natural Area is within the ¼ mile circle around the future Herndon-Monroe Metro Station slated for high density development (Reston, Virginia). This beautiful wetlands is a federally mandated mitigation site developed to offset previous destruction of natural areas in Reston. There exists, within its relatively small 15.75-acre area, multiple ecosystems of open water, marsh and upland forest that attract a wide range of wildlife, including birds, turtles, frogs, dragonflies, butterflies and small and large mammals. The site is used regularly by Reston Association naturalists for public outreach and education programs.
Excerpt from the FAIRFAX COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, 2007 Edition
POLICY PLAN -- ENVIRONMENT
Amended through 2-25-2008:
...BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GOALS
Fairfax County has adopted two goals, “Environmental Protection” and “Open Space” that relate to conservation of the natural environment. These Goals read as follows:
Environmental Protection - The amount and distribution of population density and land uses in Fairfax County should be consistent with environmental constraints inherent in the need to preserve natural resources and to meet or exceed federal, state and local standards for water quality, ambient air quality and other environmental standards. Development in Fairfax County should be sensitive to the natural setting, in order to prevent degradation of the County’s natural environment.
Open Space - Fairfax County should support the conservation of appropriate land areas in a natural state to preserve, protect and enhance stream valleys, meadows, woodlands, wetlands, farmland, and plant and animal life. Small areas of open space should also be preserved in already congested and developed areas for passive neighborhood uses, visual relief, scenic value, and screening and buffering purposes.
In addition, three other goals, “Quality of Life,” “Land Use” and “Transportation,” cite the need to protect the environment. The Fairfax County Goals reflect the belief of the community that environmental protection and preservation are overarching components of the quality of life. The Goals demonstrate an understanding of the interdependence of decisions regarding private development, transportation, and public works with the environment. Decisions made about the scale, location, and type of human activity on the landscape affect, and are affected by the natural environment....

AREA RESIDENTS SEEK PROTECTION FOR A SANCTUARY
Proximity of Reston’s only wetlands to future Metro stop raises concerns about marsh’s fate.
By Mike DiCicco | Thursday, April 08, 2010
Carol Hadlock spent 4 1/2 years monitoring wildlife at Sunrise Valley Nature Park, during which she documented 122 species of birds, 33 of which nested there. "Right there, that says to me this is a very special place," she told the group of about two-dozen Reston leaders and nature enthusiasts who took a tour of the park on Wednesday, March 31. As more of the surrounding area has been developed, some of the larger species have moved on, but about 22 species still nest there, which is remarkable for such a small property, she said.
The park comprises naturally occurring wetlands, manmade wetlands, a restored farm pond and uplands buffers. The manmade portion of the marsh, which was created under a mandate from the Army Corps of Engineers to offset damage to wetlands elsewhere in Reston, makes up about 3.3 of the park’s nearly 16 acres.

The last few days have been a flurry of activity with building on the river and wet lands. But, in between I have gone to a bunch of new places and back to some of my favorite venues.
Xavier & I love to salsa. So we did a search and wham, we found >Latin Palace Dance Club. Couples were dancing in dressy attire to wonderful salsa music. Wearing a tuxedo without a shirt and me in a short cocktail dress, it so reminded Xavier & me of Miami clubs.
A stopover at Organica to catch the last hour of DJ Qee's set woke us up with a nice psy jolt! So good to hear Qee's dynamic sounds and see old friends.
A brand new club called Fear FM sent me a tp. I got to meet owner/builder Cypher Webb. Beautifully built by Cypher, he was also spinning an awesome set of hardstyle and goth rock. I had a blast there. Cypher is also recruiting DJ's so peeps, give him a shout!
It was so late on Thursday night (Fri morn?) that I just had to stop off and say hi to DJ Xavi at The Cave. Owner Tasty Hax was there, too. I run into her at every party!
Friday afternoon, I got a tp from one of the builders. I ended up at Blackhearts 80's club. I love the funkiness of this club. So simple. It feels like a rock n roll club. Halloween was coming and the Pillsbury Dough Boy showed up! LOL!
Late night, and Xavier & I headed for DJ Nebulae's set at Piranha. Xavi loves this club. He set his JMD Effects hud on and we were in psy heaven. We always have fun at Shad's club!
In between all the craziness, I hit New Berlin's Electro Smog. Gee... I can't seem to get enough of this place. Zap Hax was hosting and DJ djleftydc Denja was spinning a sweet set of tunes.
Another new place I landed upon was Le Ghetto Hype. This is a fun club of alternative and eclectic tunes. Owner DJ Frederick Neberle & partner ARNAUD Mureaux have built a wonderful place to hang.
Off to Divaz Lounge! DJ 8wall Wrigglesworth just sent me a tp! OMG, 8wall is spinning at Divaz.
I met 8wall at Dance Island last year and then over at Nutrie. He spins a very chill set of house and minimal tunes.
But, the highlight of my night was at Old Factory listening to DJ Jeangilles Anthony. This frenchman is an artist. Beautiful industrial noise layered with a hardstyle beat... then transcending into experimental music... psychedelic experimental noise. LOL! and I fell asleep there... just couldn't leave!
Late night on Friday, Xavier and I ended up at DJ Digital Francis' Le Pardis de Digital Nation. It was an after party and Digi was spinning. Xavi & Digi started a "stump me" game. I think Digital was very impressed with Xavier's musical knowledge. They bro-downed the entire night leaving me and DJ Snowkitty dumbfounded... 'cause neither of us knew any of the tunes. LOL! I think Xavier has a new favorite dj now!
