Pieter van de Cuylen - Leben und Werk
Pieter van de Cuylens Familie war niederländischer Herkunft. Sie übersiedelte 1927 nach Dortmund. Der Vater war musikalischer Leiter des Stadttheaters, die Mutter Sängerin. Nach dem Gymnasium ließ sich Pieter van de Cuylen an der Städtischen Kunstgewerbeschule Dortmund zum Zeichnungslehrer ausbilden. Im Jahr 1928 zog Cuylen nach Berlin und besuchte die Kunstakademie des Westens. Er nahm in Berlin an Ausstellungen teil. Beeindruckt durch den Besuch einer Emil-Nolde-Ausstellung brach er mit der akademischen Malerei. Ab 1932 war Cuylen Mitglied der Reichskulturkommission, aus welcher er 1934 ausgeschlossen wurde. 1936 wurde er als „entarteter Künstler“ mit einem Malverbot belegt. Im Kontakt mit Karl Hofer und Karl Schmidt-Rottluff malte er jedoch heimlich weiter. Am 22. November 1943 wurde die Liegenschaft Motzstrasse 78/80 in Berlin bombardiert. Mit 26 anderen Menschen war Cuylen während 20 Stunden in einem Kellerraum verschüttet. In dieser Situation legte der Künstler ein Gelübde ab: Im Falle seines Überlebens solle sein künftiges religiöses Werk als Schenkung einer Marienkirche gehören, als Erinnerung und zum Zeichen des Dankes. Die Errettung gelang: deutsche Pioniere, die auf Befehl ihres Kommandanten einen Tresor ausgraben und in Sicherheit bringen sollten, stießen auf die Eingeschlossenen. Verletzt und an Tuberkulose erkrankt wurde Cuylen in ein Spital in der Nähe von Berlin eingeliefert. Im Dezember 1943 wurde dieses Spital bombardiert und der Künstler begab sich mit dem Zug von Berlin nach St. Blasien, wo er längere Zeit in einem Sanatorium zwischen Leben und Tod schwebte. Nach seiner Genesung lebte er in St. Blasien im Schwarzwald.
Von 1953 bis 1962 war Cuylen vermehrt Gast in Basel und nahm an Ausstellungen teil. 1962 heiratete Peter van de Cuylen Elisabeth Köhli. Das Ehepaar nahm seinen Wohnsitz in Binningen. Der Künstler schuf sich in der Region Basel einen Namen und zeigte seine Werke in zahlreichen Ausstellungen. Im Jahr 1966 ergab sich ein erster Kontakt zu Bad Zurzach. Cuylen beteiligte sich mit den Bildern seines Kreuzweges an einer thematischen Ausstellung Das Kreuz in der Kunst der Gegenwart, 1971 an einer Ausstellung Der Tod in der Kunst der Gegenwart. Im weiteren Verlauf ergab sich die Möglichkeit, sein Gelübde einzulösen, und sein religiöses Schaffen der Oberen Kirche in Zurzach, einer ehemaligen Marienkirche, zu vermachen. 1989 übergab Cuylen der katholischen Kirchgemeinde Bad Zurzach die wichtigsten Werke seines religiösen Schaffens.
Im Oktober 2005 schenkte Elisabeth van de Cuylen den künstlerischen Nachlass ihres Mannes der Stiftung Gesundheitsförderung Bad Zurzach + Baden, welche in diesem Zusammenhang das alte Chorherrenhaus Mauritiushof erwarb. Seither besteht im Mauritiushof eine Dauerausstellung mit ausgewählten Werken.
Van de Cuylens Werk wird dem archaischen Expressionismus zugeordnet. Das Gesamtwerk ist vielseitig. Von der Zeichnung über das Aquarell und die eigentliche Malerei bis hin zum Relief, der Glasmalerei und der Hinterglastechnik verwendete er verschiedene Techniken der gestaltenden Kunst. Seine Werke sind heute im Mauritiushof Bad Zurzach zu besichtigen.

The Youngest Skipper in the IPL Virat Kohli, up on stage to take a bow at the May 8th Victory over Kochi After Party at the ITC Royal Gardenia
Taken during the bandra festival
Most residents of Bandra associate September with the birth anniversary of St Mary and the week long Bandra Fair that follows. All these activities are centered around one of Bandras hillocks, and the crowning glory of this hill, the 101 year old , Our Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount Mary in Bandra, commonly referred to as Mount Mary.
As most would know, Bombay was originally seven islands originally lived on by the Kohlis, it was then initiated by the Portuguese, till it was briefly held by the Marathas before the British took her over till independence. Proof of this brief Iberian tryst is quiet simple to explain, most people in India call the potato - aloo, but in Bombay it is called batata with is incidentally the Portuguese word.
I live in Bandra and drawn by the tales of home made Goan specialities Vindaloo, Xacuto and Sorpotel and not to mention Bibinca, decided to pay the fair a visit. I started at the base of the hill, at Bandra reclamation where the small entwining streets of Bandra Village end. The streets were lined with shops selling everything from strangely shaped candles to clothes to shinny new toys to candy floss and sweets to snacks and food. Hordes of people made their way slowly, in a festive spirit to the top. Kids tagged their parents hands pointing up to the Ferris-wheel and making the appropriately cute gesture, coaxing them into coughing up the money needed for some delirious fun. These are the scenes that make me as trigger happy [with the camera] as a Japanese tourist with a 2 gb flash card.

Annapurna III is a 24,787 ft / 7,555 m mountain peak in the Himalayas in Nepal. Based on peakery data, it ranks as the 20th highest mountain in Nepal. The nearest peaks are Gangapurna, Canharba Chuli, Tharpu Chuli, Machapuchhare, Tarke Kang, and Singu Chuli.
Annapurna III was first climbed in 1961 by an Indian expedition led by Capt. Mohan Singh Kohli, via the Northeast Face. The summit party comprised Mohan Kohli, Sonam Gyatso, and Sonam Girmi.
When muscles work out, they help neurons to grow, a new study shows. The findings suggest that exercise's biochemical and physical effects could help heal nerves.

There’s no doubt that exercise does a body good. Regular activity not only strengthens muscles but can bolster our bones, blood vessels, and immune system.
Now, MIT engineers have found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual neurons. They observed that when muscles contract during exercise, they release a soup of biochemical signals called myokines. In the presence of these muscle-generated signals, neurons grew four times farther compared to neurons that were not exposed to myokines. These cellular-level experiments suggest that exercise can have a significant biochemical effect on nerve growth.
Surprisingly, the researchers also found that neurons respond not only to the biochemical signals of exercise but also to its physical impacts. The team observed that when neurons are repeatedly pulled back and forth, similarly to how muscles contract and expand during exercise, the neurons grow just as much as when they are exposed to a muscle’s myokines.
While previous studies have indicated a potential biochemical link between muscle activity and nerve growth, this study is the first to show that physical effects can be just as important, the researchers say. The results, which are published today in the journal Advanced Healthcare Materials, shed light on the connection between muscles and nerves during exercise, and could inform exercise-related therapies for repairing damaged and deteriorating nerves.
“Now that we know this muscle-nerve crosstalk exists, it can be useful for treating things like nerve injury, where communication between nerve and muscle is cut off,” says Ritu Raman, the Eugene Bell Career Development Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. “Maybe if we stimulate the muscle, we could encourage the nerve to heal, and restore mobility to those who have lost it due to traumatic injury or neurodegenerative diseases.”
Raman is the senior author of the new study, which includes Angel Bu, Ferdows Afghah, Nicolas Castro, Maheera Bawa, Sonika Kohli, Karina Shah, and Brandon Rios of MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Vincent Butty of MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research.
Muscle talk
In 2023, Raman and her colleagues reported that they could restore mobility in mice that had experienced a traumatic muscle injury, by first implanting muscle tissue at the site of injury, then exercising the new tissue by stimulating it repeatedly with light. Over time, they found that the exercised graft helped mice to regain their motor function, reaching activity levels comparable to those of healthy mice.
When the researchers analyzed the graft itself, it appeared that regular exercise stimulated the grafted muscle to produce certain biochemical signals that are known to promote nerve and blood vessel growth.
“That was interesting because we always think that nerves control muscle, but we don’t think of muscles talking back to nerves,” Raman says. “So, we started to think stimulating muscle was encouraging nerve growth. And people replied that maybe that’s the case, but there’s hundreds of other cell types in an animal, and it’s really hard to prove that the nerve is growing more because of the muscle, rather than the immune system or something else playing a role.”
In their new study, the team set out to determine whether exercising muscles has any direct effect on how nerves grow, by focusing solely on muscle and nerve tissue. The researchers grew mouse muscle cells into long fibers that then fused to form a small sheet of mature muscle tissue about the size of a quarter.
The team genetically modified the muscle to contract in response to light. With this modification, the team could flash a light repeatedly, causing the muscle to squeeze in response, in a way that mimicked the act of exercise. Raman previously developed a novel gel mat on which to grow and exercise muscle tissue. The gel’s properties are such that it can support muscle tissue and prevent it from peeling away as the researchers stimulated the muscle to exercise.
The team then collected samples of the surrounding solution in which the muscle tissue was exercised, thinking that the solution should hold myokines, including growth factors, RNA, and a mix of other proteins.
“I would think of myokines as a biochemical soup of things that muscles secrete, some of which could be good for nerves and others that might have nothing to do with nerves,” Raman says. “Muscles are pretty much always secreting myokines, but when you exercise them, they make more.”
“Exercise as medicine”
The team transferred the myokine solution to a separate dish containing motor neurons — nerves found in the spinal cord that control muscles involved in voluntary movement. The researchers grew the neurons from stem cells derived from mice. As with the muscle tissue, the neurons were grown on a similar gel mat. After the neurons were exposed to the myokine mixture, the team observed that they quickly began to grow, four times faster than neurons that did not receive the biochemical solution.

“They grow much farther and faster, and the effect is pretty immediate,” Raman notes.
For a closer look at how neurons changed in response to the exercise-induced myokines, the team ran a genetic analysis, extracting RNA from the neurons to see whether the myokines induced any change in the expression of certain neuronal genes.
“We saw that many of the genes up-regulated in the exercise-stimulated neurons was not only related to neuron growth, but also neuron maturation, how well they talk to muscles and other nerves, and how mature the axons are,” Raman says. “Exercise seems to impact not just neuron growth but also how mature and well-functioning they are.”
The results suggest that biochemical effects of exercise can promote neuron growth. Then the group wondered: Could exercise’s purely physical impacts have a similar benefit?
“Neurons are physically attached to muscles, so they are also stretching and moving with the muscle,” Raman says. “We also wanted to see, even in the absence of biochemical cues from muscle, could we stretch the neurons back and forth, mimicking the mechanical forces (of exercise), and could that have an impact on growth as well?”
To answer this, the researchers grew a different set of motor neurons on a gel mat that they embedded with tiny magnets. They then used an external magnet to jiggle the mat — and the neurons — back and forth. In this way, they “exercised” the neurons, for 30 minutes a day. To their surprise, they found that this mechanical exercise stimulated the neurons to grow just as much as the myokine-induced neurons, growing significantly farther than neurons that received no form of exercise.
“That’s a good sign because it tells us both biochemical and physical effects of exercise are equally important,” Raman says.
Now that the group has shown that exercising muscle can promote nerve growth at the cellular level, they plan to study how targeted muscle stimulation can be used to grow and heal damaged nerves, and restore mobility for people who are living with a neurodegenerative disease such as ALS.
“This is just our first step toward understanding and controlling exercise as medicine,” Raman says.

A Po-Matoran who loves Kohli and once helped Takua along his journeys?… Or a secretive, all powerful, all knowing, Great Being in disguise?
The one who would choose to become known as Podu, was already reclusive compared to his fellow great beings. More concerned with the next technological project than associating or allying himself with others.
When the great cataclysm of Sphereus Magna came crashing down many great beings gave in to their fear and joined Velika in his plan to escape within the Great Spirit robot.
Podu quickly regretted his choice to throw in with the crazed Velika and parted ways with the mad being. He took up a simple life, using his advanced engineering skills as a stone carver in Metru Nui, and later again on the island of Mata Nui.
After the conjunction of the planets and Bara Magna bloomed, Podu moved into the Great Desert with the rest of the Po-Matoran, continuing to fool everyone.
Upon hearing of Velika’s path of destruction across the planet, Podu realized there would be no solace. The veneer of his false identity cracked, revealing the intelligent monster that had been waiting to strike all these many years. Leaving his hidden life, Podu plans to return to his ancient workshop and release his terrible creations upon the world so that he may be finally left alone in silent peace.

From his earliest memories as a simple Mahi farmer, Golyo was always a guard. Terrible beasts with infected Kanohi masks on would try to steal his cattle at night, but little Goulyu always sat on his rocker with a Kohli hammer that was bigger than him. Even in his later life when he was accepted into the force as an outpost guard, those precious resources became his herd, and that Kanoka disk became his hammer.
Now as a Toa warrior he is fearless. His herd may have grown, but so has his hammer.

Man of the Australia-India Test cricket series Pat Cummins bowls to 'wall' Cheteshwar Purara, while India's exciting young batsman - wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant looks on at the non-striker's end during the third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Well - India's 2-1 series win must rank as one of the best in cricket history. India fans may find it feels similar to Australia's away win against West Indies in 1995 which marked the passage of supremacy from one team to another. Time will tell. Australia's team went on to become the best for a generation but we don't know who will succeed Kohli, Rahane and Pujara (all about 32) as India's batting backbone, or Ashwin and Jadeja as all-rounders. While New Zealand are nominally No.1 in Test Cricket according to ICC's rankings, NZ lost 3-0 in Australia in 2019-20 and haven't won a series against Australia since 1989-90. Away wins are tough. So this is a great win by India, more emphatic than their 2-1 win in 2018-19 when Steven Smith and David Warner were unable to play in circumstances that unsettled the nation and the team.
Which is not to say that broader factors didn't impact this time around, as board decisions rescheduling matches to fit in with BCCI timing demands; and broadcaster Channel Seven taking cricket to the courts created uncertainty. This may reflect Channel Seven's loss of advertising revenue due to COVID factors; and impact Australian cricket's finances at a time when gains from cricket administration's investments have been lost in stock market upheavals.
But back to the cricket. India's players stood up as a team, with great individual performances not necessarily reflected in statistics. Strategic and tactical preparation was at a very high level. India's all-out 36 was the result of Australia striking before India knew what hit them, and India's construction of their fourth-innings in Sydney (no one big score, maybe an 100 and a few fifties, an anchor and others to push the pace) providing a rehearsal for Brisbane.
India proved in Sydney that they could bat out a draw, which must have been exasperating for the Australian bowlers who go in fierce, not liking a long battle. In Brisbane, India's batting showed intent, but the chase for the win risked the result going either way. Risharb Pant and Washington Sundar's partnership was decisive at the close - in the last half hour of a four-Test series!
Pant's 89 not out made him man of the match and Cummins took 21 wickets at an average of 20.04 for the series.
Now for the recriminations! Paine at 36...his batting held up (204 runs at an average of 40) but he dropped catches which turned out to be crucial and he suffered blowback from sub-par repartee. Unexpectedly, India had the edge in field placements and bowling plans, exposing Australia's batting weaknesses. The captain calls the tactics and India were up a notch here.
Australia's batting looked iffy with Warner injured and Smith and Labuschagne (426 runs at 53) carrying the team. Pucovski had a strong cameo. Cameron Green's batting was promising, although four places are now up for grabs. We missed the Sheffield Shield.
Cummins and Hazlewood (17 wickets at 19) were excellent throughout but Starc faded (11 at 41) and India played Lyon comfortably (9 at 55), particularly in the third and fourth tests when he should have been cleaning up for Australia on the fifth day. Australia lacks a penetrative fifth bowler, and Green didn't take a wicket.
Kohli was here for one test before flying back to India, and his batting was impressive in the first innings at Adelaide. Too bad he was run out, and no-one was around for long enough in the second innings 36.
Rahane as India's captain excelled and now has a record of four wins, one draw and no losses. He led from the front with a great second test century under pressure, supported by Pujara and Jadeja, and showed tactical nous. The way India constructed innings with fast and slow contributors was a highlight of their tour.
As experienced players were injured newcomers seized their moment. The whole series came down to the last session. At 5-265 India was on the ropes, but Pant and Sundar then hit 50 runs in nine overs. That should be a miracle performance on a fifth day Test wicket, but the pitch hadn't deteriorated. Pant (274 runs at 68) and Shubman Gill (259 runs at 51) had great series. While on paper Pujara's 271 runs at 33 isn't impressive, he soaked up 928 deliveries, more than anyone else, holding up an end and blunting Australia's attack.
For the bowling, Jadeja, Ashwin and Bumrah did well before injuries. The debutants stood up. Mohammed Siraj (13 wickets at 29) led the attack in his first series and Thakur and Sundar had strong results.

India's wicket keeper Srikar Bharat dives for the ball as Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara look on. Alas, the Australian batter had missed the ball... ICC World Test Championship Final at The Oval, Kennington, London.
