Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself.

Ristorante La Favorita "O' Parrucchiano" in Sorrento has been serving Italian food in the same family since 1868. You enter through a tasteful small room that used to be the whole restaurant and it just keeps opening out and getting grander and grander until you walk these steps into the most amazing outdoor space full of lemon trees, it really is very special.

 

About 100 years ago cannelloni was invented by this family in this restaurant, I had it and trust me when I say I have never had the like.

 

Anyone going there should walk from the town Centre past the Cathedral and it is just on your left, very easy to miss from the frontage.

 

Have a great weekend.

Like Ulysse, Teddy wants to go home, but there is a big storm and it is very dangerous to sail on this wild ocean. Hope he will find his Penelope very soon ............

 

The scene is home made, of course !! Happy Saturday!

"The Gates of Delirium"

 

Metaphors are dangerous things:

We invent them as mnemonics,

Clues to what is urgent

in experience,

Keys to best found practice

that with repetition

become in time religion.

But then, time heaped on time,

to break free of the cage

that we've become,

We turn and rend it all

And so remember nothing.

 

Would that memory were a crystal

Manifesting everything!

Or if life were less a miracle

To be compassed by a string. . .

Naples is the third-largest city of Italy after Rome and Milan and one of the most densely populated cities in Europe. First settled by Greeks in the second millennium BC, Naples is one of the oldest continuously inhabited urban areas in the world. In the 6th century BC, it was refounded as Neápolis. Naples' historic city centre is the largest in Europe and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pizza was invented here but the restaurants in Naples have earned the most stars from the Michelin Guide of any Italian city. People awarded the honorary citizenship of Naples are: Sophia Loren & Diego Maradona. When Maradona arrived in Naples, they won the Italian and European titles for the first time. Maradona’s photo was hung next to Jesus in half of the homes of Naples. Naples is a real raw working city, a place with fascinating art and viewpoints, spontaneous conversations and unexpected, pleasant attitude. Naples has an enormous wealth of cultural treasures. You will find two royal palaces, three castles and ancient ruins with some of the oldest frescoes of Christianity.

 

The Sweet Sleep Bed & Breakfast is set in an elegant 18th-century building in the historic center of Naples. It is in an ideal location given its proximity to the central train station of Naples. On top of the roof you have beautiful panoramic views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. The B&B even has a solarium with Jacuzzi and sauna, located on the 6th floor of a luxurious 19th-century building with a coin-operated lift. Kanitha is standing in the Wicket gate of our B&B. A wicket gate, or simply a wicket, is a pedestrian door or gate, particularly one built into a larger door. The large door, often with double gates, large and heavy, designed to pass through carriages and wagons.

 

Napels is na Rome en Milaan de derde stad van Italië en een van de dichtstbevolkte steden van Europa. Napels, voor het eerst bewoond door Grieken in het tweede millennium voor Christus. Het historische stadscentrum van Napels is het grootste van Europa en staat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO. De pizza is uitgevonden in Napels, maar de restaurants in Napels hebben de meeste sterren verdiend in de Michelin-gids van elke Italiaanse stad. Mensen die het ereburgerschap van Napels hebben toegekend zijn: Sophia Loren & Diego Maradona. Toen Maradona in Napels aankwam, wonnen ze voor het eerst de Italiaanse en Europese titels. De foto van Maradona hing naast Jezus in de helft van de huizen in Napels. Napels is een echte rauwe werkstad, een plek met fascinerende kunst en uitzichtpunten, spontane gesprekken en onverwachte, prettige instelling. Napels zoals vele andere oude Italiaanse steden staan ​​bekend om hun smalle straatjes en steile heuvels. Veel van deze steden, eeuwen geleden gebouwd, zijn nooit gebouwd voor de auto's die we vandaag bouwen. De Sweet Sleep Napoli - Bed & Breakfast is gevestigd in een elegant 18e-eeuws gebouw in het historische centrum van Napels. Het ligt op een ideale locatie gezien de nabijheid van het centraal station van Napels Boven op het dak heb je prachtige panoramisch uitzicht over Napels en de Vesuvius. De B&B beschikt zelfs een solarium met jacuzzi en sauna, gelegen op de 6e verdieping van een luxe 19e-eeuws gebouw met een lift die op munten werkt. Kanitha staat in de kleine voetgangersdeur van onze B&B. Het is een kleine deur die is ingebouwd in een grote deur. De grote deur vaak met dubbele poorten, groot en zwaar, ontworpen om rijtuigen en wagens door te laten.

Qué miedo da atravesar las rutas cuando hay niebla. Miedo a no ver lo que viene, a solo poder ver los 5 metros que tenemos en frente y nada más.

Asusta muchísimo esa incertidumbre. Pero una vez que nos acostumbramos a no preocuparnos por no ver lo que viene, vamos a poder realmente disfrutar y vivir lo que sí vemos, el presente, que es lo único que existe. Ya que el pasado es una recreación de algo que ya ocurrió, y el futuro es un invento de algo que no tenemos idea.

Que la niebla no nos asuste, que nos ayude a caminar y disfrutar mejor el presente.

Owbridge's Lung Tonic was a cure-all preparation invented in 1874 by Hull pharmacist Walter Owbridge. It was advertised as a cough medicine, a remedy for bronchitis, asthma, consumption (tuberculosis) and all manner of other throat, chest and lung afflictions ,In 1990 the William Sutton Trust took over the site and the now derelict shops adjoining it in Midland Street. At a cost of £1.3 million a new development of 35 flats was built. The façade and clock tower of the old factory were retained to remind us of the past, It is now named Owbridge Court,.

  

A while back I wrote that in naming our Hoverfly, Camillo Róndani (1808-1879) was rather sloppy in his derivation from the Greek (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/28918797485/in/photost...); a bit of a Thumb-Sucker our Róndani, as the expression is in Dutch for a largely invented tale.

Perhaps, then, appropriately Deathhead is here sucking sweetness from Lady's Thumb, Persicaria maculosa. In this photo you can't see the 'maculosa', which refers to a dark spot in the centre of the peachiform leaves of this Persicaria. That dark spot is said to be the mark of the Virgin Mary's pinch of that leaf. Often though you won't be able to see it; in any case I didn't this morning. And Deathhead probably could care less...

FABBRY FACTORY

Universally recognized as having "invented" amarena cherries and fruit syrups, Fabbri's story is one in which the protagonists are the men and women who, over the last century, have helped to make the company an international success and to promote Italian quality throughout the world.

There are many ways to tell a story. We have decided to place people and their experiences at the heart of ours, because Fabbri’s story is one in which the protagonists are the men and women who, over the last century, have helped to make the company an international success and to promote Italian quality throughout the world.

 

Gennaro Fabbri gave the first blue and white jar in Fabbri’s history to his wife, Rachele, as a sign of his love and his appreciation for having created her amarena-cherry recipe. But little did he know that that one small gesture would have given the world the joy of such a unique flavor for many generations to come.

Robert Wilson 1903 - 1992 invented ship"s propeller - large black propeller on left of photo

  

Prominent beside the wharf of Dunbar’s Victoria Harbour is a large, black painted ship’s propeller, a memorial to a little known Dunbar lad, a Victorian inventor and technologist.

 

Robert Wilson was the son of Benjamin Wilson, mariner and cooper, and was born at the Shore of Dunbar. Robert had just turned seven when his father was drowned, lost when the Dunbar Lifeboat was upset during a rescue. Straightened circumstances soon forced his mother, Catherine Lyall, and the remaining family to move to the countryside to be near relatives. There, Robert was apprenticed to a wright.

 

Despite the move, Robert was still close enough to Dunbar to keep up his developing interest in ships and propulsion – the library of the town’s Mechanics Institute providing suitable technical texts to support his interests and his membership led to important contacts. From boyhood he worked at devising a means of propelling a vessel by means of ‘rotating sculls’ – what we know today as a propeller. By the 1820s, and with the patronage of the Lauderdales in Dunbar, he demonstrated working models in Leith Harbour, winning a prize from Highland Society and the Scottish Society of Arts in 1832. It was a harder struggle to convince the wider world that the invention was useful. Even with the aid of his Scottish backers the Admiralty was sceptical of his device and periodic spells of debt meant that experiments had to give way to earning a living.

  

Robert concentrated on his career, securing a position as Works Manager of the Bridgewater Foundry (Patricroft, Lancaster) of James Nasmyth. When Nasmyth retired in 1856, Robert became his managing partner (the firm later became Nasmyth, Wilson & Co.) and he remained so until 1882. In that period, Robert secured over 30 patents for engineering advances. Many were concerned with the technology behind Nasmyth’s steam hammers, but some related directly to his early obsession – propellors. Although he never got the recognition that he felt he deserved (a competitor, Francis Petit Smith, reaped most of the rewards) in 1880 he was awarded 500 pounds by the Admiralty to licence his double action screw propeller to drive the torpedoes then under development.

 

Robert’s career was followed closely back in Dunbar and East Lothian and the pages of the local press make repeated reference to Scotland’s Pioneer of Speed; as early as 1936 it was proposed that a memorial be erected near the scene of his first experiments – a plan that had to wait until his 200th anniversary when the current memorial was unveiled in September 2003.

Le 3 janvier 1613, Catherine de Gonsague et de Clèves, veuve du prince d'Orléans, duc de Longueville, signait le contrat de maçonnerie pour la reconstruction du château de Coulommiers suivant les dessins de Salomon de Brosse. Celui-ci se recommandait par les travaux qu'il exécutait au château Monceaux pour Marie de Médicis, Italienne comme Catherine de Gonzague. A Coulommiers la construction sera suivie par Charles Du Ry, collaborateur habituel de Salomon de Brosse, qui a quelque peu modifié les dessins en cours d’exécution. Charles Du Ry , sera lui-même assisté par son fils Mathurin. Le château n'était pas achevé à la mort de Cathérine 51629° et de son architecte (1626). La relève est prise par Henri II de Longueville, fils de Catherine et par François Mansart, désigné comme l'architecte dans un nouveau contrat de maçonnerie deu 27 mai 1631, toujours signé par Du RY. On travaillait encore sur le chantier en 1655. Implanté dans un site peu salubre. le château en piètre étant a été démoli en 1736 - 1738. Il en reste : les fossés; les deux pavillonnets de l'entrée, qui sont l’œuvre de Mansart; les portiques concaves qui adoucissaient les angles du fond de la cour et qui paraissent bien avoir été inventés par Salomon de Brosse. Ces portiques sont reproduits dans plusieurs œuvres de Mansart ( Berny, Blois).

I was in Napier a few weeks ago and took this photo of fishing boat, Chips, coming into the marina at Ahuriri in Napier. Then in the weekend a nationwide TV programme, Country Calendar, featured Karl and Sarah Warr and their fishing boat, Chips, because Karl has invented a fishing cage specifically designed for sustainable fishing. I thought I'd give him a shout out for such a great invention.

Wilbur Day was born in New York City. As a scientist, inventor, and engineer, he was employed by Carl Kaxton who invented a hydraulic ram device.

 

Wilbur stole Kaxton's designs and used them to engineer a pair of extremely long, telescopic metal legs, which allowed him to tower high over the ground. He incorporated these hydraulic stilts into an armored battlesuit, which he created for use in robberies as the professional criminal Stilt-Man.

 

He battled Daredevil, and was seemingly shrunk into nothingness when he was accidentally hit by an experimental molecular condenser ray.

 

His able to return from the limbo-like "microverse" and he attempted to help Leap-Frog escape from custody. Stilt-Man was defeated by Daredevil again, but was helped to escape by the Masked Marauder.

 

Stilt-Man teamed with the Masked Marauder in an attempt to trap Daredevil; however, he battled Spider-Man and was defeated by Daredevil.

 

His escape from Daredevil aided by Electro was later recounted. Stilt-Man teamed with Electro, Matador, Leap-Frog, and Gladiator to form the original Emissaries of Evil and battle Daredevil.

 

Stilt-Man was later hired by mobsters to kill district attorney candidate Foggy Nelson, and battled Daredevil once again.

 

He disguised himself as Stunt-Master, and attacked Daredevil on a Hollywood movie set.

 

In San Francisco, he kidnapped his former employer Carl Kaxton and his daughter, to force him to recreate his molecular condenser. However, Stilt-Man battled and was defeated by Daredevil and the Black Widow.

 

Besides Stilt-Man's long, unsuccessful career against Daredevil, he encountered other superheroes in the meantime. He was hired by Los Angeles mobsters to kill the Falcon, and in the process stole various weapons and devices from the Trapster.

 

He robbed a Los Angeles bank, and battled Black Goliath. He teleported Black Goliath and his companions to an alien planet using the Z-ray weapon.

 

Stilt-Man attacked Black Goliath at Champions headquarters in search of an alien power source. He battled the Champions, and his Z-ray weapon was destroyed by Darkstar, but he managed to escape from the Champions.

 

He was later freed from prison by Blastaar and F.A.U.S.T., and given a special new battlesuit constructed of secondary adamantium with additional weaponry. He stole some radioactive isotopes, and battled Thor, but lost the fight and was stripped of his suit by the victorious Thunder God, who confiscated it.

 

Stilt-Man was hired to kidnap assistant District Attorney Maxine Lavender. He was waylaid in his civilian identity by Turk Barrett, a small-time crook and an even greater loser than Day, who cold-cocked Day, stole his armor, and took on the Stilt-Man identity.

 

Turk contacted the Kingpin and offered to become his new assassin, only to be refused, being told "It does not matter what armor or weapons you may have acquired, Turk. You are an idiot. I do not employ idiots." Enraged by Turk's audacity, Day contacted Daredevil and informed him of a weakness in the armor.

 

Thanks to Day's information, Daredevil easily disabled the auto-gyroscopes necessary for the armor to keep its balance and brought Turk down.

 

Day later modified the armor to prevent Daredevil from using this newfound knowledge against him. Stilt-Man sought to regain his reputation by defeating Spider-Man. He turned an automated Cordco factory against Spider-Man, but when Spider-Man saved his life, Stilt-Man returned the favor by not taking the opportunity to kill him.

 

Stilt-Man continued to make sporadic appearances wherein he has continued his criminal career and fought several superheroes, but without much success.

 

One of his most prominent appearances during this time was during the Iron Man "Armor Wars", where he was one of the many armored super-villains whose armors had been secretly upgraded with technology stolen from Tony Stark; Iron Man quickly defeated the villain in their confrontation by throwing one of his own hydraulic legs at him to knock him out.

 

Stilt-Man later attempted to kill District Attorney Blake Tower for sending him to prison, but was captured by She-Hulk.

 

Stilt-Man was among the villains assembled by Doctor Doom to attack the Fantastic Four in Washington, D.C. during the Acts of Vengeance. Even though he had several other villains with him, he failed miserably.

 

He was also among the villains who attempted to attack the Avengers at the site of their reconstructed mansion, but was foiled by the construction workers.

This picture is of NCB Granville Colliery "Granville No 5" working a train of empty wagons from the exchange sidings to the colliery, the loco is Hunslet HE3771/1952.

The mine was originally part of the Lilleshall Co.Ltd. becoming an NCB pit in 1947. NCB modernised the motive power and on the 10th of May 1952 number 5 arrived new from Leeds, it was later fitted with a Geisel injector & chimney as seen here. The locos worked various yards around the colliery and loaded coal trains to the exchange sidings where BR locos took over, the usual destination being Buildwas Power Station.

Granville colliery at Donnington Shropshire closed in 1979 It was the last mine in Shropshire to close, the last but one being Highley on what is now the preserved Severn Valley Railway.

Peter's picture is the sort of shot that is "re-invented" these days with a classic vehicle and a steam train. This is real, the 1964 Bedford CA is new and both van and loco are grimy with service.

The loco did not get preserved, DVLA do not list the Bedford and the pit and railway system is closed. Buildwas Power station was replaced by Ironbridge Power station which has also closed and been demolished, I just hope the bungalows are still there!

Le 19 août 1839, François Arago, illustre savant et homme politique en vue, déclare devant les Académies des sciences et des beaux-arts que la France a acheté le daguerréotype, une invention de Louis Daguerre à l'origine de la photographie, afin d'« en doter libéralement le monde entier »

---

Histoire de la Photographie :

 

Nicéphore Niépce, un Français né à Chalon-sur-Saône le 7 mars 1765 et passionné par la lithographie (impression sur pierre) reprend l'idée d'imprégner une plaque d'impression métallique avec du chlorure d'argent mais, pour fixer l'image durablement, ajoute une couche de vernis également photo-sensible à base de bitume de Judée (une sorte d'asphalte).

 

Dès 1822, il produit de premières « héliographies » qui ont la vertu de ne pas s'effacer au bout de quelques minutes mais c'est en 1826 ou 1827 qu'après avoir exposé une plaque d'étain poli pendant huit heures, il produit la première photo digne de ce nom : une vue (très floue) de la fenêtre de sa maison de Saint-Loup de Varennes.

 

Vu le temps d'exposition, le procédé n'est pas prêt pour la photographie instantanée mais Niépce n'en a cure : il s'intéresse avant tout à la lithographie.

 

Là-dessus, voilà que l'inventeur modeste de Chalon-sur-Saône entre en relation, par l'intermédiaire de son opticien, avec un fantasque décorateur de théâtre parisien, Jacques Daguerre.

 

De vingt-deux ans plus jeune, celui-ci utilise habilement les ressources de la chambre noire dans ses arrangements théâtraux. Il perçoit tout l'intérêt commercial du procédé de fixation des images de Niépce et le convainc de signer un contrat d'association en 1829. Voilà réunies les deux techniques à la base de la photographie !

 

La mort de Niépce, en 1833, ne met pas fin à l'aventure dont le rythme va même s'accélérer : Daguerre réussit avec des produits ad hoc à ramener les temps de pose à quelques minutes et conçoit en 1837 un appareil de prise de vues qu'il baptise avec modestie «daguerréotype».

 

Comme il manque d'argent mais pas d'entregent, il convainc l'astronome François Arago (53 ans) de soutenir son projet. Celui-ci s'empresse de jouer de son influence pour pousser l'État à se rendre acquéreur de l'invention puis à « en doter libéralement le monde entier », lors de la séance historique du 19 août 1839.

The hiking trails from Cataract, High Marsh, Kent, Helen Markt and back to Cataract could be strenuous as the terrain is steep in many sections with lots of steps. These trails will bring you to the waterfalls and Alpine Lake.

  

Some kind of winter headgear, maybe you could call it a buff or balaclava.

MR. HUBBLE ENJOYING A PIPE...the man who invented the telescope that will take our views back to what some call the "big bang."

 

SOMEDAY, the telescope that enables us to view millions of light years back in time will help us to see what happened in Rome 2000 years ago. It will be as simple as dialing up the circa listed on the panel. There are pixels out there of every event that happened--it is just a matter of finding the wave-lenght. That is not to say we will be able to join General Grant and Robert E. Lee at the surrender, no. Nor will we be able to scoot the brief case that had Hitler's bomb inside into the area where it should have been, but we will be able to view this incident and all incidents as though we were there. Does it not make sense that such an apparatus or gadget will exist. Who would have guessed that we could send info at the speed of light? Folks, we are getting really smart. Some say we have come as far as we can. I beg to disagree. There is so much left for us to invent and learn. Of course, we will never, in my opinion, understand the entire workings of the universe.

Hola a todos, os dejo a esta pequeña cazada "al vuelo", a mano y con casi ningún control de luz y mucho menos de fondo. No creo sea una de mis mejores fotos ni por asomo pero he ido detrás de esta mariposa más de una temporada viéndolas volar y intentando descubrir algún momento de "debilidad fotogràfica", no lo encontré pero al menos conseguí algo parecido a lo que veís. El fondo es "inventado", o mejor dicho añadido parcialmente (a partir de una foto con una lente de proyección pentacon 80 2.8 adaptada a cámara) en capas de PS. El procesado no lo controlo demasiado pero aún así me atreví con ello. Dejo constancia del cambio, yo me quedo más tranquilo y si se es honesto lo de procesar más o menos me parece bien. En fin, no me enrrollo más. Saludos y gracias por pasar.

The Litomyšl Castle is an outstanding example of an arcaded Renaissance country residence, a type of structure first invented in Italy and then developed in the Czech Lands to create a mature form with special architectural value. Situated at an important communications junction on the main route between Bohemia and Moravia, in the Pardubice region, Litomyšl was a fortified centre on the hill where the castle now stands.

 

The work on the Renaissance building began in 1568 under the supervision of Jan Baptista Avostalis (Giovanni Battista Avostalli), who was soon joined by his brother Oldřich (Ulrico). Most of the work had been completed by 1580. The castle interior underwent alterations between 1792 and 1796, based on the designs of Jan Kryštof Habich, but he was careful to preserve the fine building’s Renaissance appearance with impressive gables.

 

The castle is a four-winged, three-storeyed structure with an asymmetrical disposition. The western wing is the largest, whereas the southern wing is a two-storeyed arcaded gallery, closing the second square courtyard (a feature that is unique to Litomyšl). The groin-vaulted arcading continues around the western and eastern sides of the courtyard. The south-eastern corner of the eastern wing contains the castle chapel. One of the most striking features in the interior of the castle consists in the fine neoclassical theatre from 1796-97 in the western wing. The original painted decoration of the auditorium, stage decorations and stage machinery have survived intact. The house has richly decorated interiors, basically Renaissance in form and with lavish late Baroque or neoclassical ornamentation in the form of elaborate plasterwork and wall and ceiling paintings.

 

The buildings associated with the castle were all built or rebuilt during the course of the modifications that the castle itself underwent over time, and this is reflected in their architectural styles. Among the ancillary buildings, the most interesting is the Brewery, the birthplace of Bedřich Smetana, one of the greatest Czech composers of all time. It lies to the south of the first courtyard. Originally constructed to complement the castle, with Renaissance sgraffito decoration, it was remodelled by the well-know

n architect František Maximilián Kaňka after the 1728 fire and received what is its present appearance. The ensemble also includes the former French formal garden with its saletta (pavilion) in the Baroque style and an 18th-century English-style park. (whc.unesco.org/en/list/901/)

Bom sábado as amigas e amigos.

invented by the Dane, Steen Volmer Jensen in the beginning of 1980

Não gosto muito de saber

As verdades do mundo.

Prefiro inventar

Minhas próprias verdades.

Por vezes raras

Vejo jornais.

Ontem vi uma mãe

Chorar o filho morto a tiros,

Por animais que professam

Pertencer à espécie humana.

Ao descer do prédio,

Deparei-me com uma mãe beija-flor.

Ela construiu seu ninho

Em cima da minha garagem.

Quando me viu, colocou-se entre mim e o ninho,

Batia as asas, ameaçava atacar-me,

E retornava à proteção de seus ovos.

Cheguei a pensar comigo:

– Será que essa mãe viu o jornal da tarde?

Olhei bem para aquele ser minúsculo,

Dócil, frágil,

Que tentava afugentar-me a todo custo,

E disse:

Fica em paz,

Minha forma ainda é humana,

Mas meu coração, passarinho! ❤

Invented in 1909 to provide some protection at grade crossings, the wig wag signal, nicknamed for its pendulum like motion, are few and far between today. When operating, the red light in the center of the circle is illuminated and it moves back and forth within the diamond shape. My trip up north to Devils Lake area last weekend included the hope of catching a shot of a train going through here however due to mechanical problems on the railroad, that train never came around. At least not while I was there. But it was still worth it to get a shot of these signals since they will eventually be replaced with more modern ones in the near future. I have yet to see these in person when activated. Maybe I will have another chance before its too late.

The Leyden jar was invented in mid-18th Century. The typical design consists of a glass jar with conducting tin foil coating the inner and outer surfaces. The foil coatings stop shorts of the mouth of the jar to prevent the charge from arcing between the inner and outer foil. A metal rod with a chain hanging to the bottom of the jar projects through the stopper on the mouth of the jar. The jar is charged with an electrostatic generator (or other power source), while the outer foil is grounded. The inner and outer surfaces of the jar store equal but opposite charges.

 

Batteries have been used in trying to bring the people in the state of suspended animation back to life, but it is unknown whether the attempts were successfull.

POEMA CIII

 

esperanças mortas

aroma de rosas defuntas

dias amargos

 

inventarei flores que não existem

para que acordes feliz

dos pesadelos da noite

que juncaram o chão de ervas sem seiva

de olhos sem brilho

 

na orla do jardim colherei

as fragrâncias prometidas

ao teu riso

Ѧƕᴕɚᶓ - ϔ - Ϣҙӄѧɕ the thinker sat beneath a shade fungus in the nest valley and contemplated the Brood Queen as she continued her ceaseless task of perpetuating the species. Every few moments her ovipositor flung forward and threw, along a precise arc, a glistening pink ootheca into a seething pit of slime, split egg casings and writhing larvae.

 

A breeze picked up, just strong enough to push one of the flying oothecae a little off course and it landed at the raised edge of the larvae pit. It teetered, as if deciding which way to fall, then toppled away from the safety of the pit and further into the valley, bouncing as it rolled. It came to rest, hard, abrubtly against a rock and split neatly in half (the panicking larva blindly lolloping in the drying dust), and the two halves continued to roll away. And they rolled...

 

And rolled, and rolled. "Hmm," thought Ѧƕᴕɚᶓ - ϔ - Ϣҙӄѧɕ. She stood a while, smoothed back an antenna, and then began to run down, laughing and whooping, in the direction the egg casings had gone.

gazing ball in Hereford Inlet Lighthouse gardens.

Here's some history about these garden decorations.

 

The gazing ball is said to have been invented in Venice, Italy, in the 13th century. Skilled glass blowers crafted beautiful spheres in many sizes and colors. An Italian priest and chemist, known as Antonio Neri , referred to gazing balls in 1612 as "spheres of light." Francis Bacon, in the 16th century, remarked that a "proper garden would have colored balls for the sun to play upon." The gazing ball became popular in the 19th century because King Ludwig II of Bavaria had the balls placed throughout the gardens at his castle Herrenchiemsee, a replica of the castle at Versailles. Many homes in Europe and the United States had gazing balls in the Victorian era.

 

Gazing balls have had many names through the centuries: spirit balls, witch balls, friendship balls, butler balls and spirit catchers. People thought gazing balls brought good luck and prosperity to a home and abundant growth to plants and flowers. Homeowners put them near the front door of the house to keep evil spirits and witches away. Victorians gave them to each other as gifts of true friendship, thus the name friendship ball.

Blists Hill Victorian Town is an open-air museum built on a former industrial complex located in the Madeley area of Telford, Shropshire, England. The museum attempts to recreate the sights, sounds and smells of a Victorian Shropshire town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is one of the museums operated by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust.

 

Originally Blists Hill was an industrial site consisting of a brick and tile works, blast furnaces and coal, iron and fire clay mines. The museum opened in 1973 and has been growing ever since.

What is a Pataphor?

 

The pataphor is an unusually extended metaphor invented by writer Pablo Lopez, based on Alfred Jarry's "science" of 'pataphysics.

  

As Jarry claimed that 'pataphysics existed "as far from metaphysics as metaphysics extends from regular reality," a pataphor attempts to create a figure of speech that exists as far from metaphor as metaphor exists from non-figurative language.

Whereas a metaphor is the comparison of a real object or event with a seemingly unrelated subject in order to emphasize the similarities between the two, the pataphor uses the newly created metaphorical similarity as a reality with which to base itself. In going beyond mere ornamentation of the original idea, the pataphor seeks to describe a new and separate world, in which an idea or aspect of a concept has taken on a life of its own.

  

Like ‘pataphysics itself, pataphors essentially describe two degrees of separation from reality (rather than merely one degree of separation, which is the world of metaphors and metaphysics). The pataphor may also be said to function as a critical tool, describing the world of "assumptions based on assumptions," such as belief systems or rhetoric run amok.

 

Example 1

Non-figurative

-Tom and Alice stood side by side in the lunch line.

Metaphor

-Tom and Alice stood side by side in the lunch line, two pieces on a chessboard.

Pataphor

-Tom took a step closer to Alice and made a date for Friday night, checkmating. Rudy was furious at losing to Margaret so easily and dumped the board on the rose-colored quilt, stomping downstairs.

(The pataphor has created a world where the chessboard exists, including the characters who live in that world, entirely abandoning the original context.)

In 1900, Alfred Jarry was 27 years old. He died (permanently 'Infrathinned') in 1907.

 

in 1900, Marcel Duchamp was 13 years old. Infrathin suspension dissolves age, and everything else for that matter, matter being the matter, and its opposite.

 

The 'Large Glass', 'The Bride and her Bachelors', and 'Étant donnés' partially came from this idea. Marcel claimed that they were all part of the same piece, as was all his 'work'.

  

The Oreo biscuit was invented there in 1912.
