IMAGINE

a mirror with a little girl crying inside. The soul heir to a 10 billion dollar estate her father left behind

IMAGINE

7 men stand guard of her, and watch her every move. As her heart grows colder and colder..

Until she meets U. .

All 7 and we'll watch them fall ..

They stand in the way of love

And we will smoke them all

With an intellect and a savoir-faire.. No one in the whole universe will ever compare

I am yours now and u are mine

And together we'll love through

All space and time, so don't cry

One day all 7 will die

And I saw an angel come down unto me

In her hand she holds the very key, words of compassion, words of peace

And in the distance an army's marching feet but behold, we will watch them fall

And we lay down on the sand of the sea and before us animosity will stand and decree. .

That we speak not of love only blasphemy

And in the distance, 6 others will curse me; but that's alright, (that's alright)

4 I will watch them fall (1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

All 7 and we'll watch them fall

They stand in the way of love

And we will smoke them all

With an intellect and a savoir-faire.. No one in the whole universe will ever compare..

I am yours now and u are mine

And together we'll love through

All space and time, so don't cry

One day all 7 will die

[(Just how old)]

And we will see a plague and a river of blood

And every evil soul will surely die in spite of

Their 7 tears, but do not fear

4 in the distance, 12 souls from now U and me will still be here

We will still be here

There will be a new city with streets of gold

The young so educated they never grow old

And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath

A voice of many colors sings a song that's so bold..

Sing it while we watch them fall

All 7 and we'll watch them fall

They stand in the way of love

And we will smoke them all

With an intellect and a savoir-faire

No one in the whole universe

Will ever compare

I am yours now and u are mine

And together we'll love through

All space and time, so don't cry

One day all 7 will die

(Just how old)

(Just how old)

(Just how old)

Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it. Rejection of human solidarity, obtuse and cynical indifference to the suffering of others, abdication of the intellect and of moral sense to the principle of authority, and above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice, a colossal cowardice which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea.

Primo Levi, The Black Hole of Auschwitz

Cet élément peut être assimilé symboliquement au mental de l’homme, à son intellect. Il est le plus insaisissable de tous les quatre éléments

Il est le symbole de la spiritualisation, associé au vent et au souffle, il représente le monde subtil intermédiaire, entre le ciel et la terre.

Il est le souffle de la vie, tout le vivant existe et respire grâce à lui. Il est l’expression même de la vie consciente et inconsciente, présente et impalpable, nous sommes conscients de respirer,

mais nous le faisons inconsciemment. Ce souffle est l’existence omniprésente de tout ce qui existe, il est l’élément qui pénètre tout, de l’espace le plus infime au plus gigantesque, l’univers.

20 Fenchurch Street [aka 'The Walkie-Talkie'] London - 2014 - Rafael Viñoly Architects, P.C. - London England

Rafael Viñoly, FAIA, JIA, SCA, Int. FRIBA, Founder of the eponymous firm Rafael Viñoly Architects, passed away on Thursday, March 2 at the age of 78.

Born in Montevideo in 1944, Viñoly attended the University of Buenos Aires, where he received a Master of Architecture from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism in 1969. Viñoly c0-founded the Estudio de Arquitectura Manteola-Petchersky-Sánchez Gómez-Santos-Solsona-Viñoly (MSGSSV) while he was still completing his studies.

Following the 1976 military coup in Argentina, Viñoly moved to the United States, taking a guest lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1978. He soon relocated to New York City, founding Rafael Viñoly Architects in 1983. His first project in New York City was the adaptive reuse of a former high school into the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Viñoly was also responsible for transforming an old library building into the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at the City College of New York.

Viñoly was also the recipient of the 1995 AIA New York Medal of Honor, the chapter’s highest recognition to a member for distinction in the profession.

Personal Tributes

“Working alongside Rafael Viñoly for 25 years, his sudden loss is an astounding shock. As someone who entered the firm soon after graduating from architecture school, I am extraordinarily grateful for the professional opportunities that the firm under his leadership provided, and for the collaborative relationships and friends I’ve developed.

Rafael believed in creating an infrastructure to support each architect-in-training to achieve their greatest potential, with the understanding that it would be better for the person, the project, and the office culture. He also extended his personal belief that architects should not be constrained to a particular building typology or service phase to the office staff, ensuring that our curiosity would be stimulated and our intellects challenged throughout our tenure in the practice.

As an architect leading projects significant to their communities and industries, Rafael was wholeheartedly committed to leading each project to be the best that it could be, often turning stones not previously looked under to identify revolutionary kernels that could be seeded to transform districts and engage communities in ways not previously envisaged, or to unabashedly borrow from other disciplines if the idea supported a particular project’s ideals. As his partners, we are working to embody this legacy as the firm evolves going forward.

– Andrea Lamberti, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Partner, Rafael Viñoly Architects

I have watched this line of old Scots Pine {Pinus sylvestris} on the ridge here all my life and to me they are like old friends for I have always been drawn to them. They are at least 200 years old and are now in the last years of their lives. Some are dead and they should be replaced one by one as they die in my opinion. I live quite close and see them almost every day as they dominate the landscape in this area. There is a clear view of them from the air for 30 miles out over the Irish sea, almost to the coast of North Wales, UK. They were used by RAF pilots on the west coast of Britain as a waymark point should they get lost or overshoot Britain which many did. The Irish government asked people here not to interfere with these trees, { which could have happened due to a fuel shortage and coal being not available } so that they could help the fliers get home safely. These trees now mean more to me than ever and if anyone tried to cut them down Im afraid Id start a war myself! Well, just a small one!

Although we remained neutral during WW2 with very good reason, something that Im sure a lot of people are unaware of, never the less we did some wonderful work here and saved thousands of lives from both sides of the conflict apart from the vast number of innocent little children that we brought here to safety from the utterly decimated cities of Germany. Its a heartwarming story and I will tell it with my next photo.

War is evil and the human race with our intellect, creativity, unique love for each other, and our range of wonderful emotions should be so far removed from such appalling and barbaric behaviour towards our fellow man.

Now if my friends here ruled the World!

"La esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (o ELA) es una enfermedad del sistema nervioso central, caracterizada por una degeneración progresiva de las neuronas motoras en la corteza cerebral (neuronas motoras superiores), tronco del encéfalo y médula espinal (neuronas motoras inferiores). La consecuencia es una debilidad muscular que puede avanzar hasta la parálisis, extendiéndose de unas regiones corporales a otras. Amenaza la autonomía motora, la comunicación oral, la deglución y la respiración, aunque se mantienen intactos los sentidos, el intelecto y los músculos de los ojos. El paciente necesita cada vez más ayuda para realizar las actividades de la vida diaria, volviéndose más dependiente.

La expectativa de vida de un paciente con ELA promedia aproximadamente dos a cinco años a partir del momento del diagnóstico. La ELA afecta aproximadamente a 5 de cada 100,000 personas en todo el mundo"

"Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a disease of the central nervous system, characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the cerebral cortex (upper motor neurons), brainstem, and spinal cord (lower motor neurons). The consequence is muscle weakness that can progress to paralysis, spreading from one body region to another. It threatens motor autonomy, oral communication, swallowing and breathing, although the senses, intellect and eye muscles remain intact. The patient needs more and more help to carry out activities of daily living, becoming more dependent. the life expectancy of an ALS patient averages approximately two to five years from the time of diagnosis ALS affects approximately 5 in 100,000 people worldwide."

Show me your sexy little intellect

And I'll show you how to make your head and body disconnect

My darkest feelings start to coalesce

And I feel the bubbles as my blood it starts to effervesce

Whisper your petty little epithets

And run your fingers down my body like a bayonet

I see you flexing in the silhouette

So tip back your head if you want to feel the full effect

I feel

I suffer

I lose myself in you

I feel

I suffer

I suffer (I suffer)

Touch me and make me feel your misery

And play me like you play your twisted little symphony

'Cause I'm just addicted to you

I'm just addicted to you

I'm just addicted to the way you get the worst of me

I feel

I suffer

I lose myself in you

I feel

I suffer

I suffer

And in our little world

I disappear into you

Into you

And I feel

I suffer

I suffer

I feel

I suffer

I lose myself in you

And I feel

I suffer

I suffer

I feel

I feel

Yeah, I feel (I suffer)

However, Hillel’s greatest legacy was neither his assiduous commitment to study nor his warm personality, but his forceful intellect, which directed Judaism toward the goal of *tikkun olam, the ethical bettering (literally, perfecting) of the world. In the most famous tale told about Hillel, a non-Jew approaches and asks Hillel to convert him to Judaism on the condition that he can define Judaism’s essence while standing on one foot. “What is hateful unto you do not do unto your neighbor,” Hillel responds. “The rest is commentary—now go and study” (Shabbat 31a).

You must summon every spark of intellect and intuition. Only then will you learn the truth about this troubled land and its inhabitants. You must let Riven become your world -- before an entire world is lost."

made some handpainted markings based on wicca's view about Mercury.

"In magical workings and rituals, the ruling aspects of the planet Mercury are business, buying and selling, cleverness, communication, contracts, creativity, information, intellect, memory, perception, science, wisdom, and writing."

Since this planet represents so many areas we normally wish to have success in, i added the wings on the sides!

Comes in 4 different types, a red paint one, markings, markings with some red stains, and the scar one which is tintable. It also comes with a smaller version for each type of marking!

This was a very fun product to make so i hope you guys like it!

Event ends on the 10th of next month so don't forget to grab yours ❤

Legend has it that Captain Cook on his three voyages of exploration to the South Pacific, took along his “Mistress” to keep him company during the long, tedious hours spent on the ocean.

Each evening, the Captain and two of his follow shipboard scientists: Sir Jospeh Banks and Daniel Solander; retired to the Captain’s quarters and played the game that became know as “The Captain’s Mistress”. The Mistress, being most discriminating, played with two of the scholarly trio at any one time. Constantly pitting one man against the other, she not only provided welcome distraction, but hours of entertainment as well. The hours of diversion given to the Mistress also served to strengthen the intellects of the three by keeping their logical and scientific acumen honed to a fine edge. Even though they exchanged occasional ‘hot’ words during an evening of play, there is little truth that, according to one observant seaman, the game ever ended in a “two-fisted” resolution.

To win, the rules are simple: four in a row, either vertical, horizontal or diagonal.

“But there was something else going on here. He had to admit even to himself that the woman challenged his intellect and his beliefs with her own, and she wasn’t afraid to disagree with him or to disapprove of his views. Nor did she make any attempt to school her sentiments behind the polite, prim, and proper demeanor of the typical English noblewoman. She was fierce. She was passionate. She was fiery and intense. She was like no other woman he had ever met.

And suddenly, just like that, he was under her spell once again.”

― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

Theodicy is not a riddle; it is a contest. It occurs, not in the intellect, but in a different location, namely, our heart. Our heart is asked whether it has faith and whether evil shakes that faith. There was a time when evil did not exist, and the time will come when it will exist no more, but the question put to us in the meantime is what shall we do? What shall we do in this interval between Eden’s innocence and heaven’s righteousness? In the between time, we must do our liturgy with evil yapping outside the door noisily and stupidly and not let it gain entrance to our hearts.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, The Depot, Lyrisches, Wassily Kandinsky,

The Museum Boijman Van Beiningen's Depot is all about storing art and not so much displaying it. For some influential art works, an exeception was made. E.g. for ‘Lyrisches’ here. A neo-modernist building hosting a tribute to an early-modernist painting. Nice.

The painter Wassily Kandisnky was one of the founders of the Blaue Reiter (the blue rider) art movement. For the members, the countryside and its symbols were the only way to authenticity. The painting of the time with its neat and bourgeois conventions was frowned upon. The bourgeois art world in its turn, was not charitable towards the movement : ‘Hysterical daubs’, ‘crude intolerable outrages’ and ‘childish rubbish’ were some of the charcterizations used.

A ‘the established and the outsiders' thing….. Early modern music, e.g. Starvinsky’s ‘Le sacre du printemps’ was treated in a same way. It was nicknamed `the massacre of printemps', and called `a strange spectacle of laborious and puerile barbarism”. And orchestra members initially were opposed to playing it, they thought that the partiture was full of faults.

The quotes were used by historian Philipp Blom in his fabulous ‘The vertigo years’ (2008).

About Lyrisches: “With minimal means, a few striking lines and areas of color, Kandinsky captured this rider on horseback at full gallop. The canvas dates from 1911, Kandinsky's breaking point from realism to abstraction. Through the free use of shapes, colors and lines he wanted to achieve a synthesis of emotion and intellect. This made him one of the founders of abstract art.” Source: here.

This is number 15 of the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen album.

Ancient Indian philosophy says that an individual is represented by different sheaths, layers or levels that enclose the individual’s self . The image that comes to us with this concept is that the mind is like an onion.

The levels of the self are arranged in ascending order, at increasingly finer levels. Reaching the level of the innermost layer or bliss sheath is achieved by gradually peeling off the physical body, energy, mental level and intellect.

This got me thinking of photographing the mundane onion in a different light ( literally ) ! Kept a scooped out onion layers on a mobile flashlight. The black cover of my mobile gives it a nice low key effect while the tiny mobile flashlight is just enough to illuminate the onion.

And gives the onion the reddish top ! The enlightened mind ?

The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.

Title: Wind Bower

Artist: Catherine Widgery

Year: 1990

Materials: Steel, laminated walnut and mahogany

Active as a sculptor for 30 years, American artist Catherine Widgery has developed numerous public artworks that integrate technology and the natural environment. Situated just steps away from the front door of Oakville Galleries at Gairloch Gardens, Widgery’s Wind Bower is an interactive, immersive work that captures the shifting sights and sounds of the garden. Consisting of an open structure of metal rods with a seating area and a canopy of softly tinkling wind chimes, the work is at once a product of industry and intellect, and a pleasant, shady nook for passersby to sit and become attuned to the shifting sensations of nature.

There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect. ~Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Ganesha or Ganesh, also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. His image is found throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bali (Indonesia) and Bangladesh and in countries with large ethnic Indian populations including Fiji, Mauritius and Trinidad and Tobago. Hindu denominations worship him regardless of affiliations.Devotion to Ganesha is widely diffused and extends to Jains and Buddhists.

Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify.Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom. As the god of beginnings, he is honoured at the start of rites and ceremonies. Ganesha is also invoked as patron of letters and learning during writing sessions. Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits.

Ganesha likely emerged as a deity as early as the 1st century CE,but most certainly by the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta period, although he inherited traits from Vedic and pre-Vedic precursors. Hindu mythology identifies him as the restored son of Parvati and Shiva of the Shaivism tradition, but he is a pan-Hindu god found in its various traditions. In the Ganapatya tradition of Hinduism, Ganesha is the supreme deity. The principal texts on Ganesha include the Ganesha Purana, the Mudgala Purana, and the Ganapati Atharvashirsa. Brahma Purana and Brahmanda Purana are other two Puranic genre encyclopaedic texts that deal with Ganesha.

The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. It was rebuilt in 1965, and renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.

In addition to hosting art exhibitions, it remains a popular attraction for tourists and locals and is a favorite location for weddings and wedding party photographs for couples throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and such an icon that a miniature replica of it was built in Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim.[3]

Built around a small artificial lagoon, the Palace of Fine Arts is composed of a wide, 1,100 ft (340 m) pergola around a central rotunda situated by the water.[10] The lagoon was intended to echo those found in classical settings in Europe, where the expanse of water provides a mirror surface to reflect the grand buildings and an undisturbed vista to appreciate them from a distance.

Ornamentation includes Bruno Louis Zimm's three repeating panels around the entablature of the rotunda, representing "The Struggle for the Beautiful", symbolizing Greek culture.[11] while Ulric Ellerhusen supplied the weeping women atop the colonnade[12] and the sculptured frieze and allegorical figures representing Contemplation, Wonderment and Meditation.[13][14]

The underside of the Palace rotunda's dome features eight large insets, which originally contained murals by Robert Reid. Four depicted the conception and birth of Art, "its commitment to the Earth, its progress and acceptance by the human intellect," and the four "golds" of California (poppies, citrus fruits, metallic gold, and wheat).[15]

Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented........

If we open our inner doors, music will come in and befriend us. In its own way, it will express an eagerness to breathe with the Spirit; and to create a climate in which God might more deeply inhale us into his gentle strength. The compulsive and controlling ways of the mind are powerless to sidetrack music, since its harmony swims well beneath the intellect. Music yearns to be our ally. Like a good friend, it does not insist or intrude. It respects our “boundaries.” Musical rhythm, tone, harmony—and the subtle emotions it conveys—would never force themselves on us.

Fornasetti Creation

La mano, questo mezzo eccezionale, fa parte del pensiero, perché, non solo lo interpreta, ma lo giuda nello stesso tempo per certe sue misteriose capacità di inventiva. L’arte è o manuale o mediata, come nell’architettura e nel design, i quali si esprimono per idee che guidano l’esecuzione, attraverso la mediazione del disegno e del modello. Architettura e disegno si identificano nel disegno o nel modello, ma non nell’opera come nelle arti pure. In questo caso di Fornasetti, l’arte è esercizio mentale e mediato. Ma fa lo stesso, perché in fondo l’intelletto opera manualmente, cioè pensando alle mani operanti.

-----------------------------

The hand, this exceptional mean, is a part of thought because it not just interprets it, but at the same time

guides it by some mysterious powers of invention. Art is either manual or mediated, as in architecture and design, which express ideas that guide the execution through the medium of the sketch and the model.

Architecture and design are identified with the sketch or model, but not with the work itself, as in the pure arts. In the case of Fornasetti, art is a mental and mediated exercise. But it makes no difference, because in the end, the intellect functions manually, that is, by thinking about the hands working.

Okay, so i had started our NYE flirting. But i was still surprised, after just a few dances, at his suggestion that we "go for a stroll"... and even more surprised to hear myself saying "Sure" all too eagerly. Walking along the beach, he told me about the harbor... something about how boats know which one has the right of way. I listened enough to nod along... but i was focused less on what he was saying and much more on how he was saying it. In his voice i heard sincerity, honesty, intensity, passion, intellect... all revealed in rich, deep tones which washed over me like warm hypnotic waves.
