"Knowledge is an achievement sublime.
A learning experience, one day at a time.
Knowledge is power...even if we
choose not to use it, imperatively.
From the day we are born,
we are blessed with the right
to study our world, to give our minds flight.
To hunger for more, to expand our potential.
Knowledge is something truly essential.
Answers to questions the mind can impart,
nurtures the hunger for knowledge, to start
the process of learning, the beginning of growth,
a personal quest and a personal oath,
to become the very best one can be.
Yes, that is the road I have chosen for me!
It's all up to us...that desire to learn.
An impression within our hearts, it should burn,
and daily, the blessings, upon us will shower.
Always hold to the truth,
that...Knowledge Is Power!"

Crane_Corr
Secret Knowledge, Patience, Longevity
"Corr brings the qualities of patience and perseverance. The crane is capable of standing for hours motionless in the water waiting for the right moment to capture its prey. ... Together with the ability to operate in the Underworld, the crane symbolizes science arcana, the Secret Knowledge, which in the Druid tradition is represented by the writings of Ogham - the tree language of the Druids. In a broader sense learning this language requires the ability to read the 'Book of Nature'."
Gru_Corr
Conoscenza Segreta, Pazienza, LongevitÃ
"Corr porta le qualità della pazienza e della perseveranza. La gru è capace di stare per ore immobile nell'acqua aspettando il momento adatto per catturare la sua preda. ... Insieme alla capacità di operare nel Mondo Sotterraneo, la gru simboleggia la scienza arcana, la Conoscenza Segreta, che nella tradizione dei Druidi è rappresentata dagli scritti di Ogham - la lingua arborea dei Druidi. In un senso più vasto imparare questo linguaggio richiede la capacità di leggere il 'Libro della Natura'."
Testo tratto da L'oracolo dei Druidi. Lavorare con gli Animali Sacri della Tradizione Celtica. Text taken from The Oracle of the Druids. Working with the Sacred Animals of the Celtic Tradition.

The Picton Reading Room and Hornby Library are two grade II* listed buildings on William Brown Street, Liverpool, England which now form part of the Liverpool Central Library.
Chairman of the William Brown Library and Museum Sir James Picton laid the foundation stone of the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was designed by Cornelius Sherlock, and modelled after the British Museum Reading Room, and was the first electrically lit library in the UK. It was completed in 1879. The front is semicircular with Corinthian columns, and the shape was chosen by the architect to cover the change in the axis of the row of buildings at this point. The Hornby Reading Room (named after Hugh Frederick Hornby) by Thomas Shelmerdine was added in 1906. It stands behind the older building and the interior is decorated in the Edwardian Imperial style.
This is one of the most impressive buildings I have had the pleasure of being in and highly recommend a visit.

This exhibition is on at The Box in Plymouth until the 27th Feb 2022.
The exhibition features over 300 paintings and objects by more than 100 artists. Songlines takes visitors on an epic journey that traverses three states, three deserts and some 500,000 square kilometres, travelling from west to east: to places in the deserts of the Martu, the Ngaanyatjarra and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) peoples. Using the power of contemporary art, performance, song, photography and multimedia, the exhibition shares ancient stories from the world’s oldest continuing culture.
Songlines are a map of the land as well as a pathway for complex spiritual, cultural, political and historical truths or knowledges – and so much more. They crisscross the land, creating a network of stories that ‘map’ the Australian continent, linking narratives to geographical features and serving as vehicles for naming and locating sites critical for survival physically and culturally. It is through Songlines that Aboriginal people can locate and learn from significant sites and pass on laws, ways of living and moral codes to the next generation.

By contemplating the created order, and by contemplating and ordering the moral structure of one’s own life, one would be led to the pure theoria of the fountainhead of all existence, ho on, ‘the existing one’, ‘He Who is’, this being the name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. Historical revelation in this light becomes God’s method of spelling out truth in the terms of the world: an arrangement of clues which, rightly seen, leads to illumination. However, this is not really comparable to the enlightenment of the gnostic: there is no ‘technology’ here, no suggestion of control over the laws of the Spirit. The end is simply contemplation, the enjoying of God for his sake alone; and Philo shares the biblical repugnance for any suggestion that God can be brought into human control. God can never be contained in human concepts. Moses ascends into a cloud and darkness beyond the scope of intellect, where God offers himself directly to the vision, without the intervention of any form or idea. Here, then, the pilgrimage of the understanding is seen not (as for the gnostic) in terms of acquisition but in terms of stripping away, the stripping of multiple and diffuse kinds of apprehension to the simplicity of a single-hearted vision –in Platonic terms, the return from the Many to the primal One.

The Waterloopbos is what rests of the open air laboratory where Dutch engineers experimented with scale models of hours in order to gain knowledge about the flow of water. The goal was to get the best design fors etc and such.
Of course this work is now done by computer models, and what once was a place of science is changed into a beautiful piece of nature.
In anticipation of the soon to be released(wide) "The Runaways" film. I recently picked up "Joan Jett and The Blackhearts" Greatest Hits set... I always knew Jett and Lita Ford were former members of The Runaways. But that was pretty much the extent of my knowledge. I had heard "of them", but not their music.
There are about 8 Runaway songs included in this G.Hits package... and this song. Well, "Drives me wild". "I Hate Myself For Loving You" has always been my fave Jett song. But this one might just give it a run for it's money... to think that this is the first song she ever wrote is incredible. She had to of been age 15/16 at the time.
I have a friend at work who grew up listening to The Runaways. She & her sister were greatly influenced by them... not many girl rockers in those days(70's). Certainly no all-girl groups. "Heart" would be the closest I could think of.
While surfing the subject. I've noticed many die-hards doing a bit of poo-pooing in regards to the younger set getting to know "their" group. "Posers", if you will... I say embrace them ladies. Influencing another generation of teens just keeps the music alive.

"Instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile." – Nikola Tesla

Inside the academic quadrangle.
From SFU's website:
Located atop Burnaby Mountain, SFU's design was the result of a competition held in 1963 by Dr. Gordon Shrum, the newly-appointed Chancellor of the university. The design chosen was that of a young UBC architecture professor, Arthur Erickson, and his colleague Geoffrey Massey.
Erickson's design was regarded as innovative in several key aspects. Its mountain top location inspired Erickson to reject multi-story buildings, which he felt would look presumptuous. Instead, Erickson turned for inspiration to the acropolis in Athens and the hill towns of Italy, where the mountain was incorporated into the design itself. This concept is evident in many aspects of the university's design. For example, the manner in which the buildings are terraced to remain in harmony with the contours of the landscape and the emphasis upon the horizontal rather than the vertical expansion of the buildings themselves.
Another innovative aspect of the design was its rejection of the traditional separation of faculties and departments into individual buildings. In emphasizing the universality of the university rather than the specialization of knowledge, Erickson wanted to facilitate interdisciplinary work and a closer relationship between faculty and students. To this end, the design incorporated buildings which would house several departments as well as classroom space. This measure satisfied the practical requirements of both students and faculty by reducing the travel time between classes, as well as fostering an intimate learning environment.
The design of Simon Fraser University marked the beginning of what was a long and distinguished career for Arthur Erickson, one of Canada's most renowned architects.
Lovely place to visit. Have been before but this part was locked...Really worth a visit if you're in the area - extremely peaceful inside...

The following words have been taken from the English Heritage website...
This small Augustinian priory was founded by Roger FitzOsbert in about 1216. It is dedicated to Olaf, the 11th-century king and patron saint of Norway whose stark Christian message was ‘baptism or death’.
An inventory taken in 1536 records little of value and the priory was probably already in decline when it was suppressed a year later. In 1547 Sir Henry Jerningham converted the buildings to the north of the cloister into a private house, but little of this survived when the priory was dismantled in 1784.
Around 1825 the floor of the refectory undercroft was raised and the building was converted into a cottage which was occupied until 1902.
The hidden gem in this unassuming ruin is its 14th-century refectory undercroft. Its vaulted brick ceiling is an important early example of the use of brick in England. Supported on Purbeck marble columns, it is still almost complete and retains much of its original plasterwork.
The only parts of the church to survive are a stretch of the south aisle, the west wall and parts of the north wall. The foundations of some of the brick-faced piers that supported the cloister arcade are visible, but nothing remains of the west range except the flintwork cloister wall, which is pierced near the north end by a 14th-century doorway.
At the back of the refectory is a fragment of Jerningham’s 16th-century house that escaped destruction, which includes a reused 14th-century doorway.
Images of Australia 49/100 The Tree of Knowledge.
The Tree of Knowledge, located in the small outback town of Barcaldine, has an iconic place in Australian history.
In the 1870's shearers had to sign a contract to gain employment, but an excess of workers meant that owners were able to decrease the wage of shearers. In 1891, shearers began to go on strike, and this action quickly spread. Strike camps were set up and the tree became a meeting place for the strikers. Violence increased, some shearing sheds were burnt down and the Police took firm action. The strike leaders were arrested and sentenced to prison, lack of food, funds and bad weather caused the strike to be abandoned. Thus, over the years the tree became a symbol of a 'fair go, and fair wages for a fair days work'.
The tree itself is ghost gum and over the years suffered from insect attacks, termites and fungal diseases. Before its final death a small number of trees were grafted from it to keep the tradition alive. The tree itself was preserved and the current memorial built around it.
Editing the photograph as I have, was an attempt to portray both the historical and the current setting of the tree.
