The misunderstood House Centipede.
Actually hunts and kills the true pests in our homes...spiders, bedbugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants. An arthropod hunter / predator, harmless to humans and pets.

This photo marks the beginning of a new photo project documenting life in the Beasley neighbourhood of Hamilton.
I have spent the last few days exploring and meeting new people. I am hoping to shed new light on this misunderstood neighbourhood. It is one of the poorest in the country, yet full of so much character and a great sense of community. Not to mention its rich history and huge diversity of people. Or as Carlos, the owner of this cafe put it- "It has spice."

This is Miss chocolate Soft Ice Cream, the most misunderstood ice Cream in the world. With Mr. Waffle Cone, she is the star. People can't have enough of her. When she is alone, people avoid her. She does not understand. She does not understand why kids will point at her and say, "POOP!"
She said, "No! Come on! Poke me! I'm soft and cold! Not warm!" But nobody dares to do so.
She said, "Come on! Lick me! I'm sweet and tasty!" Again nobody wants to try.
She is now sad. She is crying and sniffing. Or... is she asking you to give her a sniff? To prove that she is not... what you think she is?
life.
its full of faces.
the ones which loves you,
the ones which sorely misunderstood you,
the ones that betrayed you.
choices.
they can redirect our life into all possible directions.
what is a wrong decision ?
something which makes us stronger.
i thank my wrong choices.
i thank those who formed vague refelections in my mind and
forced me to take them.
coincidences.
do you believe in them ?
damn it.
you will believe when you write about death and how easily you can handle it,
and then the next day morning you find any of your loved ones dead.
life is full of coincidences with mathematical precision.
I swear.

The plugged-in patient: Making more informed decisions
How do I understand a misunderstood diagnosis? Navigating uncertainty
Me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood.
They say we stand for nothing
and there's no way we ever could.

My heart, my heart has flown out.
I’m no longer negative or passive; I’ll repay God’s love.
Before I misunderstood God’s will and ignored Him.
Now I’ve seen that God is waiting for my love.
I’ll do my utmost to satisfy God, so that He will gain my heart.
Look, the flowers are blooming everywhere. My inner music rises up.

My heart is refreshed and my spirit is happy; God’s love encourages me.
My life is full of vitality and praises.
It is so colorful to have meetings, fellowship, eat and drink, and enjoy.
In great excitement, I sing a song of love.
A roam around the park brings relaxation, where branches are blooming and spring is evident.
I’m the happiest person. How free my life is!

It's my turn to tell 10 facts about myself:
1. Everybody thinks I am lazy, but that is not true. I am just misunderstood. I am a sheepdog. I love herding, but unfortunately my family won't buy me any cows, sheep, chicken or rabbits, not even a few mice. I have to be satisfied rounding up butterflies, bees and my sister Yoda.
2. Can catch tennis balls. But I don't like it. I am a sheepdog, not a ball boy... Might catch the odd ball, but after 2 or 3, I won't move. You can throw the ball right at me, I won't flinch, even if it bounces off the top of my head... So please don't do it!
3. I am very stubborn. I like things my way.
4. I'll just about do anything for food. Can sit, lie down, play dead, roll over, spin around, shake hands and look really cute, if asked nicely with a treat.
5. Love to delay going to bed at night by pretending to search for the water bowl and drinking very slowly and for a long time (most of the water ends up on the floor instead of in my mouth anyway...)
6. Very tolerant when being cuddled. Don't mind being lifted, pulled closer or squashed a bit, as long as I am patted and the attention is focused on me.
7. Favourite game: tug of war with soft toys. Second favourite game: pulling the stuffing out of soft toys.
8. Very tough. Don't complain at all when getting my vaccinations at the vets.
9. Will hypnotize you to love me, if you look into my eyes for too long...
10. Love comfort. Have taken over the kids' beanbags and their old baby mattress, but nobody minds as long as we stay off sofas and beds.
(10.b Know how to make the kids let me sneak under their blanket occasionally... Able to lie very still, so nobody notices.)
"these memories are talking and talking
and I'll do anything to shut 'em up
I've got the pillow over my head
but they won't stop
no, no they won't stop"
--Chris Pureka, "Burning Bridges"
Memories are some of the most difficult creatures to kill. I am fearful and timid again.
I am really nothing more than a dull mouse, but you see me as a giant monster in your rear-view.
Why do I scare you when I love you so?
Look at me. Now look at some other creature. Now look back at me, I'm gorgeous. More gorgeously stripy than you would believe. And yet you swat me away from your picnic. All I want is my own jam-sandwich. I'm so misunderstood. (I'm on a bench)
Chiroptera or bats are misunderstood and maybe my favorite group of mammals, bats are demonized and with out them millions would starve form the out of control pest population exploding not including by pollinating flowers, which includes 420 agricultural products. I have always like bats even has a kid my love of bat grew of a general love for monsters and myth.
Eastern Illinois University students perform Villains: A Cabaret of the Misunderstood in the Theatre of the Doudna Fine Arts Center on December 3, 2022. (Dominic Baima)
it's no good when you're misunderstood
but why should I care?
what the world thinks of me
won't let a stranger
give me a social disease.
não aguento mais a rotina.
seria possível o ano terminar sem chegar ano que vem (?)
acredite, passar no vestibular é mais impossivel que isso.
Masonic Square and Compasses:
The Square and Compasses (or, more correctly, a square and a set of compasses joined together) is the single most identifiable symbol of Freemasonry. Both the square and compasses are architect's tools and are used in Masonic ritual as emblems to teach symbolic lessons. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lessons in conduct: for example, Duncan's Masonic Monitor of 1866 explains them as: "The square, to square our actions; The compasses, to circumscribe and keep us within bounds with all mankind".
However, as Freemasonry is non-dogmatic, there is no general interpretation for these symbols (or any Masonic symbol) that is used by Freemasonry as a whole.
Square and Compasses:
Source: Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry
These two symbols have been so long and so universally combined — to teach us, as says an early instruction, "to square our actions and to keep them within due bounds," they are so seldom seen apart, but are so kept together, either as two Great Lights, or as a jewel worn once by the Master of the Lodge, now by the Past Master—that they have come at last to be recognized as the proper badge of a Master Mason, just as the Triple Tau is of a Royal Arch Mason or the Passion Cross of a Knight Templar.
So universally has this symbol been recognized, even by the profane world, as the peculiar characteristic of Freemasonry, that it has recently been made in the United States the subject of a legal decision. A manufacturer of flour having made, in 1873, an application to the Patent Office for permission to adopt the Square and Compasses as a trade-mark, the Commissioner of Patents, .J. M. Thatcher, refused the permission as the mark was a Masonic symbol.
If this emblem were something other than precisely what it is—either less known", less significant, or fully and universally understood—all this might readily be admitted. But, Considering its peculiar character and relation to the public, an anomalous question is presented. There can be no doubt that this device, so commonly worn and employed by Masons, has an established mystic significance, universally recognized as existing; whether comprehended by all or not, is not material to this issue. In view of the magnitude and extent of the Masonic organization, it is impossible to divest its symbols, or at least this particular symbol—perhaps the best known of all—of its ordinary signification, wherever displaced, either as an arbitrary character or otherwise.
It will be universally understood, or misunderstood, as having a Masonic significance; and, therefore, as a trade-mark, must constantly work deception. Nothing could be more mischievous than to create as a monopoly, and uphold by the poser of lacy anything so calculated. as applied to purposes of trade. to be misinterpreted, to mislead all classes, and to constantly foster suggestions of mystery in affairs of business (see Infringing upon Freemasonry, also Imitative Societies, and Clandestine).
In a religious work by John Davies, entitled Summa Totalis, or All in All and the Same Forever, printed in 1607, we find an allusion to the Square and Compasses by a profane in a really Masonic sense. The author, who proposes to describe mystically the form of the Deity, says in his dedication:
Yet I this forme of formelesse Deity,
Drewe by the Squire and Compasse of our Creed.
In Masonic symbolism the Square and Compasses refer to the Freemason's duty to the Craft and to himself; hence it is properly a symbol of brotherhood, and there significantly adopted as the badge or token of the Fraternity.
Berage, in his work on the higher Degrees, Les plus secrets Mystéres des Hauts Grades, or The Most Secret Mysteries of the High Grades, gives a new interpretation to the symbol. He says: "The Square and the Compasses represent the union of the Old and New Testaments. None of the high Degrees recognize this interpretation, although their symbolism of the two implements differs somewhat from that of Symbolic Freemasonry.
The Square is with them peculiarly appropriated to the lower Degrees, as founded on the Operative Art; while the Compasses, as an implement of higher character and uses, is attributed to the Decrees, which claim to have a more elevated and philosophical foundation. Thus they speak of the initiate, when he passes from the Blue Lodge to the Lodge of Perfection, as 'passing from the Square to the Compasses,' to indicate a progressive elevation in his studies. Yet even in the high Degrees, the square and compasses combined retain their primitive signification as a symbol of brotherhood and as a badge of the Order."
Square and Compass:

By Bro. B. C. Ward, Iowa
Worshipful Master and Brethren: Let us behold the glorious beauty that lies hidden beneath the symbolism of the Square and Compass; and first as to the Square. Geometry, the first and noblest of the sciences, is the basis on which the superstructure of Masonry has been erected. As you know, the word "Geometry" is derived from two Greek words which mean "to measure the earth," so that Geometry originated in measurement; and in those early days, when land first began to be measured, the Square, being a right angle, was the instrument used, so that in time the Square began to symbolize the Earth. And later it began to symbolize, Masonically, the earthly-in man, that is man's lower nature, and still later it began to symbolize man's duty in his earthly relations, or his moral obligations to his Fellowmen. The symbolism of the Square is as ancient as the Pyramids. The Egyptians used it in building the Pyramids. The base of every pyramid is a perfect square, and to the Egyptians the Square was their highest and most sacred emblem. Even the Chinese many, many centuries ago used the Square to represent Good, and Confucius in his writings speaks of the Square to represent a Just man.
As Masons we have adopted the 47th Problem of Euclid as the rule by which to determine or prove a perfect Square. Many of us remember with what interest we solved that problem in our school days. The Square has become our most significant Emblem. It rests upon the open Bible on this altar; it is one of the three great Lights; and it is the chief ornament of the Worshipful Master. There is a good reason why this distinction has been conferred upon the Square. There can be nothing truer than a perfect Square--a right angle. Hence the Square has become an emblem of Perfection.
Now a few words as to the Compass: Astronomy was the second great science promulgated among men. In the process of Man's evolution there came a time when he began to look up to the stars and wonder at the vaulted Heavens above him. When he began to study the stars, he found that the Square was not adapted to the measurement of the Heavens. He must have circular measure; he needed to draw a circle from a central point, and so the Compass was employed. By the use of the Compass man began to study the starry Heavens, and as the Square primarily symbolized the Earth, the Compass began to symbolize the Heavens, the celestial canopy, the study of which has led men to think of God, and adore Him as the Supreme Architect of the Universe. In later times the Compass began to symbolize the spiritual or higher nature of man, and it is a significant fact that the circumference of a circle, which is a line without end, has become an emblem of Eternity and symbolizes Divinity; so the Compass, and the circle drawn by the Compass, both point men Heavenward and Godward.
The Masonic teaching concerning the two points of the Compass is very interesting and instructive. The novitiate in Masonry, as he kneels at this altar, and asks for Light sees the Square, which symbolizes his lower nature, he may well note the position of the Compass. As he takes another step, and asks for more Light, the position of the Compass is changed somewhat, symbolizing that his spiritual nature can, in some measure, overcome his evil tendencies. As he takes another step in Masonry, and asks for further Light, and hears the significant words, "and God said let there be Light, and there was Light," he sees the Compass in new light; and for the first time he sees the meaning, thus unmistakably alluding to the sacred and eternal truth that as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so the spiritual is higher than the material, and the spiritual in man must have its proper place, and should be above his lower nature, and dominate all his thoughts and actions. That eminent Philosopher, Edmund Burke, once said, "It is ordained that men of intemperate passions cannot be free. Their passions forge the chains which bind them, and make them slaves." Burke was right. Masonry, through the beautiful symbolism of the Compass, tells us how we can be free men, by permitting the spiritual within us to overcome our evil tendencies, and dominate all our thoughts and actions. Brethren, sometimes in the silent quiet hour, as we think of this conflict between our lower and higher natures, we sometimes say in the words of another, "Show me the way and let me bravely climb to where all conflicts with the flesh shall cease. Show me that way. Show me the way up to a higher plane where my body shall be servant of my Soul. Show me that way."
Brethren, if that prayer expresses desire of our hearts, let us take heed to the beautiful teachings of the Compass, which silently and persistently tells each one of us,
"You should not in the valley stay
While the great horizons stretch away
The very cliffs that wall you round
Are ladders up to higher ground.
And Heaven draws near as you ascend,
The Breeze invites, the Stars befriend.
All things are beckoning to the Best,
Then climb toward God and find sweet Rest.”
The secrets of Freemasonry are concerned with its traditional modes of recognition. It is not a secret society, since all members are free to acknowledge their membership and will do so in response to enquiries for respectable reasons. Its constitutions and rules are available to the public. There is no secret about any of its aims and principles. Like many other societies, it regards some of its internal affairs as private matters for its members. In history there have been times and places where promoting equality, freedom of thought or liberty of conscience was dangerous. Most importantly though is a question of perspective. Each aspect of the craft has a meaning. Freemasonry has been described as a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. Such characteristics as virtue, honour and mercy, such virtues as temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice are empty clichés and hollow words unless presented within an ordered and closed framework. The lessons are not secret but the presentation is kept private to promote a clearer understanding in good time. It is also possible to view Masonic secrecy not as secrecy in and of itself, but rather as a symbol of privacy and discretion. By not revealing Masonic secrets, or acknowledging the many published exposures, freemasons demonstrate that they are men of discretion, worthy of confidences, and that they place a high value on their word and bond.

For this assignment we had to take a photo of something that was decayed or decaying. I misunderstood and thought that it also had to be a landscape. But I'm glad I did because this is a photo of something that had decayed both connotatively and denotatively. This is a picture of the Harmar Village footbridge/old train tracks. The city of Marietta has recently closed this footbridge to the public, virtually cutting off Harmar Village from the city of Marietta; effecting tourism and businesses. I have walked this bridge dozens of times and I feel as though it has been a large part of my college experience. Now that it is closed it is decaying both literally and figuratively, at least to me.
The other object in this picture is the sternwheel boat called the Becky Thatcher, named after the Mark Twain character, Tom Sawyer's girlfriend. Before it closed a few years ago it was a restaraunt and bar. It was also a large part of my college life. My friends and I spent many a night on that boat. But now, just like the bridge, it sits motionless and unused, rotting away. To help keep its memory alive my friends and I will sneak onto it, climb to the top, and jump off into the cool water of the Ohio/Muskingum River.

This is the "extra" photo of the Adam - Horse of a Different Color selection. He seems misunderstood, perhaps because he pushes people away with his outrageousness. Almost everything he believes in is against the norm. He is shocking and appalling. Unpredictable even. He barely communicates with the rest of his family (mom, dad, brother, and sister), he claims that he has a hard time with women, and he told stories of how he has been screwed over.
"I'm anti-social" he said.
The darkness that surrounds him could be a multitude of things; his anarchist-like mind-set, his screw the world type personality, even the darkness that comes with being a Satanist. I know you guys can't see his eyes in any of these three shots but believe me when I tell you that they are the darkest brown I have ever seen.
However the light coming in from outside portrays two things to me; one his true human goodness and two the love that people have for him. Adam may not realize it or believe it but I have faith that there are people who love him. He has his back turned to the love in this shot, and the darkness seems overwhelming, but the light IS there. It is there.
This photos kind of summarizes it all for me. My perception of Adam is this shot right here.
