Preston band Mobius Loop are bringing their Spring Tour to The Ferret this Friday.
A spokesperson for the band said it will be ‘an evening of ecstatic mayhem full of stomping rebel songs and whirling orgasmic waltzes’.
Describing themselves as creating eccentric and philosophical folk stories, Mobius Loop fuses world music and conscious rap.
The group’s mission is to raise positive vibrations, projecting an organic cooperative voice for humanist spirituality, vegan philosophy, grassroots philanthropy, true democracy, and alchemical magic.
The popular band kicked off their Spring Tour on Wednesday in West Malvern near Worcester and will go on to play cities including Bristol, Liverpool, and Manchester.

It's a fantastic band to watch if you have the opportunity.
Katie Rose is a great singer and an excellent violinist player too.

Never write off small towns sometimes, as in the small Alsace town of Selestat, there are wonders to behold. It’s a pretty sleepy sort of town now, but Sélestat enjoyed a golden age during the Renaissance. As a result, it now holds one of the finest libraries of humanist writing in the world. The image is not particularly good, but it shows the exterior of the library fairly well. It’s a historic building, but inside, it’s very modern, with the latest methods of storing old books in oxygen-free environments.
The Humanist Library in Sélestat is one of the most important cultural treasures of Alsace, France. There are two Renaissance humanist libraries involved: the library of the Humanist School and the private library of the scholar, Beatus Rhenanus (1485–1547).
The central section of the permanent exhibition focuses on the intellectual career of Beatus Rhenanus, a Sélestat native, prominent humanist, and friend of Erasmus, who left his extraordinary personal library to his hometown upon his death in 1547. Taken together, these 670 works form one of the richest Renaissance collections to have survived intact. Even at that time, the library was of inestimable value, since books were only published in small numbers of copies and they were extremely expensive. The library of Beatus Rhenanus is the only larger humanist library preserved virtually intact. Other large libraries, such as those of Erasmus von Rotterdam or Johann Reuchlin, were scattered after the deaths of their owners.
The Library of Beatus Rhenanus was inscribed in UNESCO's Memory of the World International Register in 2011.
Since 1889, both libraries have been housed in the same building in a former covered market near the Gothic church of Saint George. The library is publicly accessible as a museum, and the books can be consulted by scholars and researchers.

The Humanist Library in Sélestat is one of the most important cultural treasures of Alsace, France. According to a traditional saying, Alsace has three great treasures: Strasbourg Cathedral, the Isenheim Altarpiece in Colmar and the Humanist Library in Sélestat. Actually, there are in fact two Renaissance humanist libraries involved, the library of the Humanist School and the private library of the famous scholar, Beatus Rhenanus (1485–1547).

Da ich mich seinerzeit beim Wechsel von der Grund- auf die weiterführende Schule für das nur an wenigen Orten angebotene Kunstprofil entschied und bis zur Oberstufe immer den "lebendigen Sprachen" den Vorzug gab, kam ich nie in den Genuss (?) altsprachlich-humanistischer Bildung. Aber von den Lateinern habe ich mir sagen lassen, dass "Agricola" (der Bauer) wohl eines der ersten Worte war, das ins Vokalheft zu schreiben war... Und irgendwie musste ich genau daran denken, als ich das gezeigte Bild aus dem Archiv kramte. Vielleicht ist es das satt leuchtende Kornfeld, vielleicht das Landgut auf dem Hügel mit der darauf zuführenden Zypressen-Allee - Oder einfach das Idealbild einer Kulturlandschaft, wie man sie auch in einem Bilderbuch über die alten Römer hätte abdrucken können.
Wir sind in der südlichen Toskana, in den lehmigen Hügeln der Crete Senesi. Frühes Aufstehen war an diesem Junitag 2019 angesagt, um pünktlich zum Sonnenaufgang auf dem zuvor ausgeguckten Aussichtspunkt zu sein. Und so klickte die Kamera bereits um kurz vor sechs das erste Mal, eines meiner frühesten Eisenbahnfotos. Vielleicht war es also auch die unchristliche Uhrzeit, die mich an den Bauern hat denken lassen...;)
Protagonist auf den Gleisen ist ein Diesel-Minuetto, der als Regionale Veloce 3022 (Grosseto - Firenze S.M.N.) gerade den Friedhof von Buonconvento umkurvt. Ein gutes Drittel seiner rund 200 Kilometer langen Fahrtstrecke von der Provinzstadt in der Maremma in die Kunstmetropole am Arno hat er da schon geschafft.
The Erasmus Bridge (Dutch: Erasmusbrug) is a combined cable-stayed and bascule bridge in the centre of Rotterdam, connecting the north and south parts of this city, second largest in the Netherlands. The bridge was named after Desiderius Erasmus a.k.a. Erasmus of Rotterdam, a prominent Christian renaissance humanist.

Le city gate, porte de la ville, est situé entre les bastions de Saint-Jacques et de Saint-Jean. Un pont enjambant le fossé profond qui entoure La Valette mène à cette porte. Au cours de l’histoire, La Valette a connu cinq portes différentes : la première construite durant le règne de Jean de La Valette, la deuxième attribuée à Tommaso Dingli, la troisième durant l’occupation anglaise et la quatrième de style italien. La cinquième porte faisait partie du projet de rénovation de l’entrée de la ville orchestré par l’architecte Renzo Piano qui est désormais en place. Un projet lancé notamment pour les festivités de « La Valette, Capitale européenne de la culture » en 2018 par l’Unesco. Il a fait partie du grand complexe de rénovation urbaine qui allie vieilles pierres et modernité. Situé à l’entrée de la Cité fortifiée, entre les douves et la place principale (place de la liberté), il comprenait le remodelage des portes de la ville et des douves, la construction d'un nouvel édifice et la transformation des ruines de l’Opéra House – bombardé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale – en théâtre en plein air. Un projet qui a fait couler beaucoup d’encre à Malte, car il prévoyait au départ la construction du Parlement sur les vestiges de l’Opéra. Le projet de Renzo Piano visant à conserver ces vestiges a finalement convaincu les Maltais, même s’il comprend la destruction d’une partie des anciennes portes de la ville pour permettre leur ouverture et l’édification d’un édifice moderne au cœur de la cité baroque. L’idée était de préserver l’héritage architectural de la ville tout en créant un lieu de rencontre civique et culturel contemporain.

the most members of my family are non believers, pacifist, left wing humanists and non nationalists, you can classify us as unattached idealists and the cosmopolitans, I'm quiet proud on this fact.

Een dagje met de 'Plaatjesmakers' op stap in Rotterdam ...
De Erasmusbrug is naast de Willemsbrug de tweede brug over de Nieuwe Maas in het centrum van Rotterdam in de Haven van Rotterdam en is vernoemd naar de Nederlandse priester en humanist Erasmus.
De brug verbindt de wijk Kop van Zuid met het centrum aan de noordzijde van de rivier.
De Erasmusbrug is ontworpen door Ben van Berkel (UNStudio) en opgeleverd in 1996. De 284 meter lange tuibrug heeft een 139 meter hoge geknikte asymmetrische stalen pyloon. Hieraan dankt de brug de bijnaam "De Zwaan". Tussen de Kop van Zuid en de pyloon is er een 89 meter lange basculebrug voor schepen die niet onder de tuibrug door kunnen. Deze basculebrug is de grootste en zwaarste basculebrug in West-Europa.

Summer seems so far away. Warm, bright days of long ago, at least here in Ireland. Seen on the banks of the River Corrib in central Galway City.
