This was taken from the River House, our home in Africa, during the 1985 coup that ousted then Sudanese President Jaafar al-Nimery from power. We watched as people flocked along the bank of the Nile, to Radio Omdurman, on foot or piled into trucks and buses. They were waving palm fronds. We were listening to the BBC.

Aion was a personification of time, divinized in Roman times due to its connection to the concept of eternity of Rome, the Roman people and the emperor. This relief belongs to the Aion-Chronos type with a lion head encircled with a radiant halo. He holds two keys, symbolizing eternity and possibly a torch, also a symbol of the Mithraic solar cult. On each side appears a snake. The one on the right points to a flaming altar while the other to a Crater vessel.

Synopsis
"Alfredo Alcala is one of the most disciplined and perceptive artists inking in comics. The years of distinguished work have earned Alfredo a special place in comics history." — Gil Kane.In the late 1960s, an extremely talented group of Filipino illustrators took the American comic book industry by storm — and the late Alfredo Alcala led the way, working for both Marvel and DC on such popular characters as Conan the Barbarian and Batman. This unique work is loaded with amazing art and pointers on observational methods, composition, and other techniques. In addition to insightful interviews with Alcala, the book features pages from his groundbreaking masterwork, Voltar, which was hailed as a new concept in comic book form, an epic in narrative art, and a milestone in sequential art illustration.

The Golden Ratio informs a lot of my art and photographic composition. The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo! Not so long ago, I came up with the Golden Ratio Principle which describes why The Golden Ratio is so beautiful.
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.

Today is Lost Sock day in We're Here! and well... like the title says- life is too short to worry about matching socks. My socks are for comfort rather than appearance.
Funnily enough, I actually do a pretty good job at keeping my socks matched. This was all a set up for today. Tomorrow, I'll wear the mates to these socks. This weekend, I'm doing one of the fun themed photo shoots with my faire family, so I've actually got my favorite pair of socks (so so comfy and soft) set aside for that day. I'll be standing and walking a lot, so I gotta be comfy!
About Ephesus
Ephesus was an ancient Greek city, and later a major Roman city, on the coast of Ionia, near present-day Selçuk, Izmir Province, Turkey. It was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League during the Classical Greek era. In the Roman period, Ephesus had a population of more than 250,000 in the 1st century BC, which also made it one of the largest cities in the Mediterranean world.
The city was famed for the Temple of Artemis (completed around 550 BC), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Emperor Constantine I rebuilt much of the city and erected new public baths. Following the Edict of Thessalonica from emperor Theodosius I, the temple was destroyed in 401 AD by a mob led by St. John Chrysostom. The town was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 614 AD. The city's importance as a commercial center declined as the harbor was slowly silted up by the Cayster River (Küçük Menderes).
Ephesus was one of the seven churches of Asia that are cited in the Book of Revelation. The Gospel of John may have been written here. The city was the site of several 5th century Christian Councils, see Council of Ephesus. It is also the site of a large gladiators' graveyard.

Hundreds of guests and local officials turned out for the official announcement of the 2020 Frida Kahlo Exhibition coming to the Cleve Carney Gallery at the College of DuPage McAninch Arts Center. The 26-piece collection, on loan from the Museo Dolores Olmedo, is the largest private collection of Kahlo’s works.
The large mannerist fresco of the Martyrdom of St Lawrence (1565-8) is by Bronzino. It shows a lot of flesh but remarkably no exposed genitals. According to legend, St Lawrence, who was one of the deacons of Rome, was roasted alive on a gridiron in AD258.

Energy cane in various stages of propagation are setup on trollies that move them in and out of protective shelters.
U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA Agricultural Research Service ARS Sugarcane Research Unit greenhouses are used to gerninate and grow energy cane from seed sections to full size varieities of sugar cane at the Ardoyne Farm facility; here scientists developed and released a new high-fiber variety of sugarcane, or energy cane, Ho 06-9002, in Houma, LA, and continue their research on December 13, 2021. Sugarcane is one of the most efficient producers of biomass of all plant species and can be used as a renewable fuel. The new variety has a high fiber content, excellent regrowth ability over 4 to 5 years, is cold-tolerant, has a high stalk population, and produces excellent biomass yields. Ho 06-9002 showed no symptoms of brown rust or smut when exposed to high levels of natural inoculum. Mosaic disease, caused by either sugarcane mosaic virus or sorghum mosaic virus, was not observed in the variety under natural field conditions. Its most significant attribute is cold tolerance and the ability to yield high biomass in non-traditional sugarcane growing regions.
The ongoing studies are conducted in cooperation with the Department of Energy; university extensions, and industry organizations.

In October ’70, the COG found a Jesus People commune of 33 members practising and believing almost the exact things as they were, right down to Gosepl signs, sackcloth vigils and the “Revolutionary Rules”!
The commune’s leaders had been won to the Lord and taught revolutionary discipleship by teh COG when they were campted at Alton a couple years before. So the COG were invited to take over this 3-story house just blocks from the university.

Euphorbia milii (crown of thorns, Christ plant, Christ thorn) is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family Euphorbiaciae, native to Madagascar. The species name commemorates Baron Milius, once Governor of Réunion, who introduced the species to France in 1821. It is suspected that the species was introduced to the Middle East in ancient times, and legend associates it with the crown of thorns worn by Christ. It is also found in Kerala, India. There is a tale stating that there were Jews living in Kerala and they brought the Christ thorn plant from Israel to India.

The Death of Marat is a 1793 painting in the Neoclassic style by Jacques-Louis David and is one of the most famous images of the French Revolution. It is referring to the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, killed on the 13th of July 1793 by Charlotte Corday.
David was a close friend of Marat, as well as a strong supporter of Robespierre and the Jacobins. He was overwhelmed by their natural capacity for convincing crowds with their speeches, something he hadn't yet easily achieved through painting (not to mention his difficulty to speak, due to a facial tumor). Determined to memorialize his friend, David painted his portrait soon after his murder. He was asked to do it because of his previous painting, The Death of Lepelletier de Saint-Fargeau. (After 1826, nobody saw this work, representing the first martyr of the Revolution, a deputy murdered on January 20. The official reason for his death was for having voted for the death of King Louis XVI, though he was possibly also the victim of some obscure plot implicating Spain.)
Despite the haste in which the portrait of Marat was painted (the work was completed and presented to the National Convention less than four months after Marat's death), it is generally considered to be David's best work, a definite step towards modernity, an inspired (and inspiring) political statement. At the time of its creation, all contemporary sources clearly indicate that the painting was not to be dissociated, neither in its exhibition nor in its evaluation, from The Death of Lepelletier, the two functioning as a pair if not properly as a "diptych". Till David's death in 1825, it remained so, the two paintings sharing the same fate from success to oblivion. The unfortunate disappearance of The Death of Lepelletier does not allow us today to watch The Death of Marat the way David had planned it.

Galway is a city in Ireland. It is in the West Region and the province of Connacht. Galway City Council is the local authority for the city. Galway lies on the River Corrib between Lough Corrib and Galway Bay and is surrounded by County Galway.
The popular song "Galway Girl" or "The Galway Girl" is a song written by Steve Earle and recorded with Irish musician Sharon Shannon, which was featured on Earle's 2000 album Transcendental Blues.
A cover version of the song by Mundy and Shannon reached number one and became the most downloaded song of 2008 in Ireland.
"Galway Girl" tells the semi-autobiographical story of the singer's reaction to a beautiful black haired blue eyed girl he meets in Galway, Ireland. Local references include Salthill and The Long Walk.
Lots of people believe that Galway people have black or very dark hair due to the fact that many spaniards landed there (or were shipwrecked) at the time of the Spanish armada.
Galway is also home to The Spanish Arch which was originally an extension of the city wall from Martin's Tower to the bank of the Corrib, as a measure to protect the city's quays, which were located in the area once known as the Fish Market (now Spanish Parade). It was constructed during the mayoralty of Wylliam Martin in 1584, being called ceann an bhalla (the head of the wall).

One of the off site exhibits is the Royal Navy Submarine Museum which can be found a short journey away and across into Gosport. I went back to Portsmouth to visit this museum in September 2017. This attraction can be found in Hasler road. It is well worth the effort I took the ferry from down the side of Portsmouth Harbour railway station, it was only £2.40 return OAP rate. After you leave the ferry terminal keep travelling left, follow the commemoration plaques in the pathway it takes you over a footbridge over part of the water to arrive at the Museum, about 10 minutes walk no more from the Ferry terminal.
A tour of Alliance begins in the forward torpedo store and room, then on through the accommodation space to the control room, where the tour guide demonstrates the navigation systems including diving and surfacing. The tour continues through the galley and on to the heart of the submarine, the large engine room, before culminating in the aft torpedo compartment, where the guide explains how submariners would escape in an emergency. Along the way, you can also peer through the working periscopes to view Portsmouth Harbour. Having been a Cook in the Royal Navy it was a shock to see the size of the galley ( that’s the kitchen ) on this Submarine. How ever the one cook worked on this in time of war was unbelievable.
Alliance forms the centrepiece of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum along with Holland I and X24, the museum also contains thousands of photographs, documents, ship plans and artefacts. The Royal Navy Submarine Museum is located in Gosport on the former site of HMS Dolphin; home to the Submarine Service for 100 years. The visit will take about two to two and a half hours to complete. A complimentary waterbus takes visitors across the harbour from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. This ferry although free with your ticket is not as frequent as the main Gosport ferry.
This for me was a very worthwhile visit, to experience going on a World War Two submarine. You have to book the guided tour inside the shop area before you can gain entrance to this submarine. HMS Alliance is Britain’s only remaining World War II submarine and stands as a memorial to the 5,300 British submariners who have lost their lives in service. This fascinating A class submarine was commissioned and designed in 1945 as WW2 came to a close for service in the Far East. She was launched in 1947 but is typical of the submarines that served throughout WW2. Alliance herself saw service throughout the Cold War years.
