With all beauty comes the contrast of it, and I often noticed that when in Sugar Mill Gardens. On dreary days, the extreme beauty was both breathtaking, yet somber, and the undercurrents of the past, of wars, and the ancient past, of dinosaurs, is ever there, breathing through the place with an eternal wind. Even when no one is there, there is a sense of not being quite alone. I think you can feel that when you gaze on this tree for some reason. There's a lot of past in this present.

In the building of intelligence where the most educated increase and share their knowledge eyes are blocked with electrical light. While they focus on books, papers and their wisdom the universe plays with complex science to color the world in the north. Do we know everything?

Toledo reached its zenith in the era of Islamic Caliphate. Historian P. de Gayangos writes:
The Muslim scientists of this age were unrivaled in the world. Perhaps among their greatest feats were the famous waterlocks of Toledo.[1]
The old city is located on a mountaintop, surrounded on three sides by a bend in the Tagus River, and contains many historical sites, including the Alcázar, the cathedral (the primate church of Spain), and the Zocodover, a central market place.
From the 4th century to the 16th century about thirty synods were held at Toledo. The earliest, directed against Priscillian, assembled in 400. At the synod of 589 the Visigothic King Reccared declared his conversion from Arianism; the synod of 633 decreed uniformity of liturgy throughout the Visigothic kingdom and took stringent measures against baptized Jews who had relapsed into their former faith. The council of 681 assured to the archbishop of Toledo the primacy of Spain.
As nearly one hundred early canons of Toledo found a place in the Decretum Gratiani, they exerted an important influence on the development of ecclesiastical law. The synod of 1565–1566 concerned itself with the execution of the decrees of the Council of Trent; and the last council held at Toledo, 1582–1583, was guided in detail by Philip II.
Toledo was famed for religious tolerance and had large communities of Muslims and Jews until they were expelled from Spain in 1492 (Jews) and 1502 (Muslims). Today's city contains the religious monuments the Synagogue of Santa María la Blanca, the Synagogue of El Transito, and the Mosque of Cristo de la Luz dating from before the expulsion, still maintained in good condition.
In the 13th century, Toledo was a major cultural center under the guidance of Alfonso X, called "El Sabio" ("the Wise") for his love of learning. The program of translations, begun under Archbishop Raymond of Toledo, continued to bring vast stores of knowledge to Europe by rendering great academic and philosophical works in Arabic into Latin.

journee libre en bord de mer.
Sanctuary of Truth (Thai: Prasat Sajja Tham) is a religious construction in Pattaya, Thailand.
The sanctuary is an all-wood building filled with sculptures based on traditional Buddhist and Hindu motifs.
The top of the building is 105 meters high, and the building covers an area of more than two rai.
It features contemporary Visionary art based on traditional religious themes.
The project was initiated as an idea of Thai businessman Lek Viriyaphant in 1981, and is scheduled to be completed in 2050.
The main style of the sanctuary is based on the Thai architecture of the Ayutthayan period, richly decorated by Hindu-Buddhist hand-carved wooden sculptures drawn from various artistic traditions, including Dravidian, Angkorean, Chinese, Mon Dvaravati, Srivijayan, and Thai.
It has four gopura, respectively representing images from the Buddhist and Hindu religions and mythologies of Cambodia, China, India and Thailand.
According to the official website, its purpose is to use art and culture as 'a reflection of the Ancient Vision of Earth, Ancient Knowledge, and Eastern Philosophy. Within this complex, visitors will understand Ancient Life, Human Responsibility, Basic Thought, Cycle of living, Life Relationship with Universe and Common Goal of Life toward Utopia'.

Part 8 - The Fountain of Knowledge.
So, I placed myself in the position of a time traveler .
Here was a feeling of déjà vu.
I knew I had been here before, but it was never like this.
This was a derelict ruin, where once, as a child I had clambered the walls and run in the dried up beds of the pool, too small to reach up to the statues.
Yet now I was amazed.
The water had returned and a colossal fountain exuded forth.
Here was knowledge in extreme.
This had to result from a Fountain of Knowledge.
But sadly as the day began to end, and it was with a heavy heart that I left Perseus, astride Pegasus, in prosecution of Poseidon’s sea monster, as it pursued Andromeda.

Sign seen in San Francisco, California asking for donations to the "Free Knowledge Up Social Justice Library" in memory of Sean Monterrosa. Sean Monterrosa was a 22-year-old Latino American man who was fatally shot on June 2, 2020, by Vallejo police officer Jarrett Tonn. Monterrosa was on his knees and had his hands above his waist when Tonn shot him through the windshield of his unmarked police pickup truck. The police later said Tonn shot him because he erroneously believed a hammer in Monterrosa's pocket was a gun. Monterrosa later died at a local hospital. The event sparked outrage in the Bay Area, particularly in Vallejo, which has a long history of police violence, excessive force complaints, and high-profile killings, including the February 2018 shooting of Ronnell Foster and the February 2019 shooting of Willie McCoy.

Just for fun: a screenshot of the after effects project of the 2012 video for the Trendbureau Overijssel, vimeo.com/39465703. With a big thank you to Kees Plattel (www.ikbenke.es) for his help setting up this project.
Each rectangle is a precomp. The colors are the different themes in the video. If you carefully you can see the viewing angles of the camera that's flying over the main composition.

The "corridors" in the library made by the shelves are really narrow. Not to mention frightening. There seems to be light at the end of this tunnel though.
This was a required examination for pupil-teachers in the 1920s and my mother was awarded the certificate at Holbrook in 1929.
Message posted on behalf of Maeve Strom and the ES team:
For those who have gotten wind of current defamation and untruthful claims against *ES* and our pose store in copying poses from a rival pose store we filed a DMCA giving us the right to show all evidence of our creations upload dates etc etc filing a DMCA (which is a proper legal channel for any content theft..not just copyright =p covered under the act of the DMCA) in showing just the opposite..that the accusers have copied poses from *ES*.
The reason Linden Lab has this process is to hold providers liable for creations unique to individuals and items they create in SL. Just like skins or clothes which are not copyrighted in most cases.
The Blog below is written by an SL member who understands what DMCA's are. It further explains the DMCA process and issues we have gone through in our name being defamed. We urge you to read. Should anyone have questions you may feel free to IM us in-world or drop us a flickrmail.

A team of South Dakota School of Mines and Technology students recently competed at the Formula SAE West competition, held June 13-16, 2007 at the California Speedway in Fontana, California. The School of Mines finished in sixth place overall against 80 registered teams. The competition consists of eight separate events including design, cost, manufacturing, sales presentation, skid-pad, acceleration, autocross and endurance.
Of these events, the team took tenth place in sales presentation, tied for sixth place in design (which marks the School of Mines team's first time in the design semi-finals), sixth place in autocross and seventh place in endurance. The team also placed third in the Design Communication Award presented by Autodesk.
Students conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small formula-style racing cars. The restrictions on the car frame and engine are limited so that the knowledge, creativity, and imagination of the students are challenged. The cars are built with a team effort over a period of about one year and are taken to the annual competition for judging and comparison with vehicles from colleges and universities throughout the world.
In addition to the team’s success, team advisor Dr. Dan Dolan was the recipient of the highest award which can be bestowed on any Formula SAE Advisor, the Carroll Smith Mentors Cup Award. The main criteria for the award is that the recipient will have given extraordinarily of personal time and expertise to help the students become professional engineers, will have developed a personal relationship with the team members and will have set a positive role model. This award recognizes Dr. Dan Dolan for his time and effort contributed to the development of project-based learning at the School of Mines.
Built between 1879 and 1882, this American Florentine Revival-style building was the former royal palace for the Kingdom of Hawaii, designed by Thomas J. Baker, Charles J. Wall, and Isaac Moore for King David Kalākaua. The palace was the home of the monarchs of the Kingdom of Hawaii between 1882 and 1893, the executive building of the provisional government and Republic of Hawaii from 1893 until 1898, the capitol building of the Territory of Hawaii from 1898 until 1959, and the capitol building of the State of Hawaii from 1959 until 1969. During its time as a territorial and state capitol, the building was altered and renovated, removing or neglecting several original features, enclosing parts of the lanais that encircle the building’s exterior, adding additional office space outside of the building’s original footprint, and replacing some of the original windows with french doors. The building replaced an earlier ‘Iolani Palace, a western-style structure with elements reminiscent of the Greek Revival style and Creole cottages in the United States, which stood on the same site, and was built in 1844-45. The earlier palace was an aliʻi, which featured no sleeping quarters, but included a dining room, throne room, and a reception room, being only about ⅓ the size of the present building. The previous building had similarities to the present structure, including a raised lanai wrapping around the entire structure, with a hipped roof, a doric colonnade, large windows, and separate homes on the grounds where the royal family lived and slept. By 1874, when King David Kalākaua ascended to power, the original palace, built of wood was in poor condition, and in 1879, the building was demolished and construction began on the present palace. Inspired by knowledge of European royal palaces and architecture, the palace features four corner towers and towers on the front and rear facades, which all feature mansard roofs topped with cornices and cresting, arched double-hung windows, quoins, decorative relief panels, circular medallions on the arched and circular roof dormers, and flagpoles atop each mansard roof. Between the towers and on the second and third floors of the front and rear towers are lanais on the first and second floors of each side of the building, with staircases to the entrances on the front and rear at the foot of the towers, corinthian columns supporting arches, decorative balustrades, iron railings on the second floor, large windows and door openings with decorative trim surrounds, decorative tile floors, decorative ceilings, a cornice above, and a decorative railing wrapping the base of the building’s large low-slope and hipped roof. Underneath the lanais and enclosed spaces of the second and third floors of the palace is the basement, which is surrounded by a light well, with access provided to exterior entrances on the sides of the building via staircases. Inside, the palace has a layout with large rooms on either side of a central hallway on the first and second floors, which are linked via a large grand staircase, with the first floor hallway known as the Grand Hall. On one side of the Grand Hall is the throne room, taking up the entirety of this part of the first floor, with a dressing room behind the thrones, while on the other side of the Grand Hall is the Blue Room, a reception hall, and the State Dining Room, with a bathroom, and butler’s pantry between the State Dining Room and the Grand Hall. On the second floor, the hallway features a ceiling with two decorative medallions on either side of a central stained glass dome, with the room where Queen Liliʻuokalani was imprisoned for 9 months following the second of the Wilcox rebellions in 1895 sitting on the ocean-facing side of this end of the building, with a restroom and closet between this room and the Queen’s Bedroom. All bedrooms on this floor are linked via diagonal hallways to the second floor rooms in the corner towers, which are utilized as small sitting rooms. On the opposite side of the hallway is the King’s Bedroom, King’s Office, and Music Room, as well as an additional bathroom. In the basement, the building is split by two hallways that intersect at the base of the basement stairs, running between the building’s service areas, including the kitchen, as well as administrative offices for the Kingdom of Hawaii, with most of the space now mostly housing exhibits and display cases. The interior of the building features extensive detailing and decoration that was restored after the building ceased being utilized as the State Capitol in 1969, including grand carved and reproduction staircases and balusters, decorative plaster ceilings with medallions, decorative crown moulding, carved wood doors and trim, wood floors, bathrooms with built-in water closets, sinks, bathtubs, and showers, period appropriate light fixtures, as well as period and reproduction furnishings and pieces of art that were in the building during the Kingdom of Hawaii period. The palace was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1962, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Following the completion of the Hawaii State capitol in 1969, a 9-year restoration program was carried out on the palace, with the palace opening in 1978 as a museum, run by the nonprofit organization Friends of ʻIolani Palace, that preserves the structure and tells the story of the Hawaiian Royal family who once resided and ruled from the palace, as well as allowing for visitors to admire the beautiful restored and preserved details of the interior and exterior of the building. On January 17, 1993, a vigil was held on the grounds of the palace, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii by a group consisting of primarily white American businessmen, deposing the monarchy that had ruled the kingdom from 1795 until 1893. The grounds of the palace features restored landscaping intended to show what the palace looked like at the time of its completion, and the relocated ‘Iolani Barracks that once stood on the present site of the present state capitol, which now sits to the northeast of the main palace. The building is the only former royal Palace in the United States, and sits in the middle of park-like grounds surrounded by state, federal, and local government buildings in the heart of Downtown Honolulu.
