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.

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).

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.

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.

I was burned out. The bright light combined with several hours of street photography left me tired and resting on a park bench. I still wanted to be shooting, so the result is a series of images photographed from that bench, looking up at the sky and the passing parade of people. From this vantage point, everyone is epic in some way. Enjoy. Seen in Salthill, Galway, Ireland.

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.

"Corações nunca serão práticos enquanto não forem feitos para não se partirem".
Para tirar essa foto eu coloquei a câmera literalmente no teto, sim no teto grudada com durex ai de vez em quando tirava olhava o que tinha dado e colocava de novo, não tinha outro jeito de pegar esse ângulo aqui¬¬
Le Pont Érasme, ou Erasmusbrug, est un témoignage impressionnant de l'ingénierie moderne et de l'architecture contemporaine, et constitue l'un des monuments les plus emblématiques de Rotterdam. Cette structure remarquable, souvent surnommée Le Cygne en raison de son pylône asymétrique et gracieux, enjambe élégamment la rivière Nieuwe Maas, reliant les parties nord et sud de la ville. Nommé en l'honneur de l'humaniste et théologien néerlandais Érasme, ce pont n'est pas seulement une infrastructure fonctionnelle, mais aussi un symbole de la résilience et de l'esprit innovant de Rotterdam.
Le Pont Érasme s'étend sur 284 mètres à travers la Nieuwe Maas, soutenu par un pylône en acier asymétrique de 139 mètres de haut. Cet élément de design unique donne au pont son surnom, Le Cygne. L'apparence élégante et blanche du pont est en réalité d'une teinte bleu clair choisie par Van Berkel pour refléter la lumière et le ciel environnants, donnant au pont un aspect dynamique qui change avec le temps et l'heure de la journée.
Les premiers dessins du pont ont été réalisés par Maarten Struijs, un architecte du département des travaux municipaux, qui a commencé à travailler sur le projet en 1987. Le design de Struijs, un 'vierstokkenbrug' ou pont à quatre mâts, était estimé à 325 millions de florins (environ 147 millions d'euros). Cependant, à mesure que le projet progressait, la ville a recherché une expertise supplémentaire et a fait appel à des ingénieurs et architectes, dont Ben van Berkel de UNStudio et Wim Quist. Le design de Van Berkel, un pont à haubans frappant avec un pylône unique et coudé, a remporté la faveur du conseil municipal et a été sélectionné en novembre 1991, malgré son coût plus élevé de 365 millions de florins (environ 165 millions d'euros).
La construction du Pont Érasme a commencé sérieusement, avec le pont étant fabriqué à Vlissingen. Le 13 avril 1995, le pylône distinctif a été transporté par bateau à Rotterdam et installé. Le pont a été officiellement inauguré par la reine Beatrix le 4 septembre 1996, marquant l'achèvement d'un jalon important du développement urbain de Rotterdam.
The Erasmus Bridge, or Erasmusbrug, is an impressive testament to modern engineering and contemporary architecture, and is one of Rotterdam's most iconic landmarks. This remarkable structure, often nicknamed The Swan because of its graceful, asymmetrical pylon, elegantly spans the Nieuwe Maas River, connecting the northern and southern parts of the city. Named in honor of the Dutch humanist and theologian Erasmus, this bridge is not only a functional piece of infrastructure but also a symbol of Rotterdam's resilience and innovative spirit.
The Erasmus Bridge spans 284 meters across the Nieuwe Maas, supported by a 139-meter-high asymmetrical steel pylon. This unique design element gives the bridge its nickname, The Swan. The bridge's sleek, white exterior is actually a light blue shade chosen by Van Berkel to reflect the surrounding light and sky, giving the bridge a dynamic appearance that changes with the weather and the time of day.
The first drawings of the bridge were drawn up by Maarten Struijs, an architect with the Municipal Works Department, who began working on the project in 1987. Struijs's design, a 'vierstokkenbrug' or four-masted bridge, was estimated to cost 325 million guilders (approximately €147 million). However, as the project progressed, the city sought additional expertise and brought in engineers and architects, including Ben van Berkel of UNStudio and Wim Quist. Van Berkel's design, a striking cable-stayed bridge with a single, angled pylon, won the favor of the city council and was selected in November 1991, despite its higher cost of 365 million guilders (approximately €165 million).
Construction of the Erasmus Bridge began in earnest, with the bridge being fabricated in Vlissingen. On April 13, 1995, the distinctive pylon was transported by ship to Rotterdam and installed. The bridge was officially opened by Queen Beatrix on September 4, 1996, marking the completion of a major milestone in Rotterdam's urban development.
