This is the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, designed by Senenmut, and located outside of Luxor (site of the ancient Egyptian capital of Thebes) in Upper Egypt. Constructed during the reign of Queen Hatshepsut during the 18th Dynasty of the Ancient Egyptian New Kingdom between 1478 and 1458 BC. The temple complex was dedicated to the god Amun and Hatshepsut, and has three levels, and is aligned so that sunlight reaches the innermost chamber of the complex during the Winter Solstice sunrise each year. The structure is home to Hatshepsut’s burial chamber, a suncourt on the top level, three colonnades, and a chapel dedicated to Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, mummification, and embalming. The structure is considered to be the closest the Ancient Egyptians came to building Classical-style architecture like that of Rome and Greece. The structure contains many intact carvings and painted reliefs within, while the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II sits in ruins nearby, having served as the inspiration and as a source of materials for the structure. The structure fell into disuse after Hatshepsut’s death in 1458BC, and eventually fell into ruins, with the lowermost level being partially buried by sand and debris that accumulated over almost 3400 years, while the uppermost level’s colonnade collapsed. In 1895, the ruins began to be excavated, and, over the course of about a century, the structure was partially restored by reconstituting the fallen stones and pieces back to their original locations, with the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw being responsible for much of the work.

On board the Royal Caribbean Adventure of the Seas at the start of our week-long cruise to New England and Canada (July 27th - August 3rd, 2018). The cruise departed from the Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, New Jersey and stopped at Portland (Maine), Bar Harbor (Maine), Saint John (New Brunswick) and Halifax (Nova Scotia). These pictures from the ship as it was returning to port at Cape Liberty (Bayonne, New Jersey) on the cloudy morning of Friday August 3rd, 2018. Some nice views of ships, the Statue of Liberty, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and lighthouses in the harbor.
The winged goddess of Victory standing on the prow of a ship overlooked the Sanctuary of the Great Gods on the island of Samothrace. This monument was probably an ex-voto offered by the people of Rhodes in commemoration of a naval victory in the early second century BC. The theatrical stance, vigorous movement, and billowing drapery of this Hellenistic sculpture are combined with references to the Classical period-prefiguring the baroque aestheticism of the Pergamene sculptors.

Zamindar Family of Teota
________________________________________
Zamindar Family of Teota' was one of the large landholders based in Teota of manikganj district. Founded by one Panchanan Chaudhuri, born (c. 1740) into the Dasgupta family of Shaitghar-Teota in western Manikganj, the 'Sankars' (the family middle name) were a relatively progressive, enlightened and unostentatious zamindar family. A number of its members made notable contributions to public life at all Bengal level.
The Teota zamindari comprised a number of estates spread out in the districts of Dhaka, Faridpur and Pabna, and Dinajpur along with some small properties in Rangpur and Burdwan. In 1914, the Dinajpur properties alone were valued at over Rs 11 lakhs. The estate paid over Rs. 60,000 in annual government revenue, and was managed by educated and trained officials. It would also appear that this estate was comparatively generous towards its employees ' among other things, it paid a 'dearness allowance', and took care of the medical expenses and 'living costs' of its staff. The head office/ manager's office was at Teota, and the estate was broadly divided into a few circles, each having a number of kachharis under it. The Teota zamindari remained undivided for almost a hundred and fifty years. By 1920, however, it had been amicably partitioned into the eight anna Teota Joy Sankar Estate, and other smaller shares. The zamindari ended with the abolition of zamindari system, and the acquisition of the estates by the government, under the provisions of the EAST BENGAL STATE ACQUISITION AND TENANCY ACT of 1950.
Panchanan Chaudhuri, the founder of the family, began his 'career' away from home, in Dinajpur. His earliest investments, it seems, had been in the tobacco trade, in which he flourished. With the profits earned from his lucrative business, he soon started to invest in land when a land market was created under the operation of the Permanent Settlement. He acquired his earliest properties in the Dinajpur region. Some time later, he returned to his ancestral village, and established himself as the first zamindar of Teota. A devout vaisnab, it was also during his time that 'Sridhar' came to be the 'family-god', Panchanan being the first 'sebaiyat'. He lived till ninety-three, and saw in his own lifetime the zamindari maturing into one of the largest in Eastern Bengal.
Very little is known about Panchanan Chaudhuri's only son, Kali Sankar, who died very young, in his early thirties, but left behind two sons ' Joy Sankar and Tarini Sankar (born, 1800s-1810s). Both of them were brought up to be 'traditional' aristocrats (of the 'Nawabi Bengal' mould), the younger Tarini Sankar having even been sent to Murshidabad for his education. However, he did not have a long life, and died in his thirties, and was survived by Shyama Sankar (later RAJA SHYAMA SANKAR RAY BAHADUR of Teota) and Pran Sankar.
Joy Sankar considerably augmented the inherited properties. He undertook such welfare activities as the digging of ponds and the construction of roads, besides generously maintaining the 'atithi-sala' (guest house) at Teota set up by his grandfather. He, however, decided to renounce his family and his worldly possessions, and left for Puri ' one of the best destinations for a practising vaisnab ' leaving his two minor sons (Parbati Sankar and Hara Sankar) under the care of their mother and grandmother. It was there that he died shortly afterwards (c 1860). His sons later built a 'dharamsala' in his memory at Gaya (in Bihar), and also made the necessary initial arrangements for a 'math' to be founded at the site of his cremation in Puri.
The next generation of the family saw a marked shift towards the metropolis. Although the (first) Calcutta residence of the family had been built at 50, Darmahutta Street (now Maharshi Debendra Road) in the Pathuriaghata area in the 1820s, it was only from the sixties that male members of the family began to live in the city for extended periods. The ladies of the family left the village much later, in the 1880s or 1890s, when a new, more sprawling residence was built at 44, European Asylum Lane. That apart, the family also had a number of residential houses elsewhere. The Teota rajbari in Benaras (there were two, in fact) have been immortalised by BIBHUTIBHUSHAN BANDYOPADHYAY's novel, and subsequently by the SATYAJIT RAY film, 'Aparajita'.
The eldest among the four cousins of this generation, Shyama Sankar Roy, was a noted philanthropist, an enterprising landlord who made numerous attempts at improvements and innovations in agriculture, and a Theosophist. He was conferred the personal title of 'Raja' in the 1877s. RAI PARBATI SANKAR CHAUDHURI was also an 'imaginative' zamindar. Among other things, he introduced the system of co-operative grain banks (dharmagola) within the zamindari, and was one of the founders of the INDIAN INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION. Hara Sankar Ray, who was a Presidency College graduate and had a degree in law, was an honourary magistrate (of Teota). The next generation saw yet another shift, with many of the cousins being sent to British universities for their first degrees and legal training at the Inns of Court, although only one of them, Dr Kumar Sankar Ray, turned out to be a 'professional' in later life. KS Ray, a non-practising barrister and a philanthropist, was prominently involved in Congress electoral politics and represented Bengal (along with a few others) at the Council of States in New Delhi in the 1930s and 40s. The best-known names in the generation were however: the politician, KIRON SANKAR ROY, and KUMUD SANKAR RAY (Dr KS Ray), the medical luminary and Swarajya-Congress leader.
The family seat was at Teota ' an expansive complex, close to the bank of Jamuna, comprising a maze of courtyards and buildings, the earliest ones dating from the early nineteenth century, and the most recent from the early 1900s. The remarkable Navaratna adjoining the rajbati, built in honour of the family god and used during the 'Dol' festival, is among the tallest and most elegant ones of its kind. The 'High/ Entrance School' in the village, called Teota Academy, founded by the Teota Zamindar Family in the 1880s was ' apart from the town school ' for a long time the only one in Manikganj sub-division, now a district. The school also had a 'boarding' for resident scholars, and its students used to stay at the 'Bahir-bari' of the Calcutta residence of the Sankars when appearing for the University matriculation and other examinations. Besides this, there was a 'pathsala' and a charitable dispensary maintained by the estate. Also, Teota was one of the very few places in the district having a sitting honorary magistrate and a 'bench'.
The big structures of the zamindar family still survive though abandoned and left uncared since 1957. These are now occupied by squatters. Structurally, the magnificent Teota buildings carry the spirit and technique of the blends of Mughal and European architecture. [R Roy]'

Jumeirah is one of my favorite parts of Dubai. It's all villas and townhouses and has a wonderful Mediterranean feel, with the beach on one side and the skyscrapers of Sheikh Zayed Road (including the Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world) on the other.

"Artificial Intentionalities" is the title of the Ars Electronica Garden in Hong Kong hosted by the City University of Hong Kong, School of Creative Media, Neuro Design Lab (HK).
During recent decades, technologies raised and erased borders, hybridized and segregated cultures, while also collapsing distances and time zones. But we have too often remained trapped in a myopic, anthropocentric system of logic and ideals in our quests for new teleological aspirations, structures of controls, or even in finding new possibilities for collective participation and agency. Our capacity to shift our standpoint, to project ourselves in space and time, in reality and fiction, allows us to figure out the world from the vantage points of our ancestors, aliens, or post-human creatures like algorithms and robots. It is through this potential that we can expand our horizon to better accommodate the dynamic complexities at hand. Thanks to the recently acquired artificial intentionalities, artworks are quickly becoming sentient, cognizant, and responsive subjects through which we can improve our understanding of human societies and ecosystems. Ars Electronica Garden Hong Kong’s curatorial inquiry this year explores various paths to better understand the entanglements that surface in the tectonic interplay of divergent worlds, where robots challenge social models, artworks try to understand each other, and the faraway meets the nearby. We call for a DïaloG of curiosity and speculation, alongside a salutary cocktail of poetry, science, politics and conviviality.

Bakong (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបាគង) is the first temple mountain of sandstone constructed by rulers of the Khmer empire at Angkor near modern Siem Reap in Cambodia. In the final decades of the 9th century AD, it served as the official state temple of King Indravarman I in the ancient city of Hariharalaya, located in an area that today is called Roluos.
The structure of Bakong took shape of stepped pyramid, popularly identified as temple mountain of early Khmer temple architecture. The striking similarity of the Bakong and Borobudur temple in Java, going into architectural details such as the gateways and stairs to the upper terraces, suggests strongly that Borobudur was served as the prototype of Bakong. There must had been exchanges of travelers, if not mission, between Khmer kingdom and the Sailendras in Java. Transmitting to Cambodia not only ideas, but also technical and architectural details of Borobudur, including arched gateways in corbelling method.
HISTORY
In 802 AD, the first king of Angkor Jayavarman II declared the sovereignty of Cambodia. After ups and downs, he established his capital at Hariharalaya. Few decades later, his successors constructed Bakong in stages as the first temple mountain of sandstone at Angkor. The inscription on its stele (classified K.826) says that in 881 King Indravarman I dedicated the temple to the god Shiva and consecrated its central religious image, a lingam whose name Sri Indresvara was a combination of the king's own and the suffix "-esvara" which stood for Shiva ("Iśvara"). According to George Coedès, the devarāja cult consisted in the idea of divine kingship as a legitimacy of royal power, but later authors stated that it doesn't necessarily involve the cult of physical persona of the ruler himself.
Bakong enjoyed its status as the state temple of Angkor for only a few years, but later additions from the 12th or 13th centuries testify that it was not abandoned. Toward the end of the 9th century, Indravarman's son and successor Yasovarman I moved the capital from Hariharalaya to the area north of Siem Reap now known as Angkor, where he founded the new city of Yaśodharapura around a new temple mountain called Bakheng.
SITE
The site of Bakong measures 900 metres by 700 metres, and consists of three concentric enclosures separated by two moats, the main axis going from east to west. The outer enclosure has neither a wall nor gopuram and its boundary is the outer moat, today only partially visibile. The current access road from NH6 leads at the edge of the second enclosure. The inner moat delimits a 400 by 300 metres area, with remains of a laterite wall and four cruciform gopuram, and it is crossed by a wide earthen causeway, flanked by seven-headed nāgas, such as a draft of nāga bridge . Between the two moats there are the remains of 22 satellite temples of brick. The innermost enclosure, bounded by a laterite wall, measures 160 metres by 120 metres and contains the central temple pyramid and eight brick temple towers, two on each side. A number of other smaller buildings are also located within the enclosure. Just outside of the eastern gopura there is a modern buddhist temple.
The pyramid itself has five levels and its base is 65 by 67 metres. It was reconstructed by Maurice Glaize at the end of the 1930s according to methods of anastylosis. On the top there is a single tower that is much later in provenance, and the architectural style of which is not that of the 9th century foundations of Hariharalaya, but that of the 12th-century temple city Angkor Wat.
Though the pyramid at one time must have been covered with bas relief carvings in stucco, today only fragments remain. A dramatic scene-fragment involving what appear to be asuras in battle gives a sense of the likely high quality of the carvings. Large stone statues of elephants are positioned as guardians at the corners of the three lower levels of the pyramid. Statues of lions guard the stairways.
On the 12th of July, 1812, American General William Hull ahead of a force of 2,000 men from the 4th US Infantry and the Ohio Militia landed on the shores of Upper Canada north of the Village of Sandwich. Upon learning of the landing and the American strength, the British commander of the area, Lt-Col St. George at Fort Amherstburg ordered the small garrison at Sandwich to withdraw. Hull immediately setup his Headquarters at the House of François Baby, and issued a proclamation that the area was now free from the yoke of the British Crown and the citizen should join him in liberating the rest of the colony. The proclamation and the raiders Hull sent out simply kept the militia at home. Other than raiders and a few skirmishes, Hull did very little, opting to wait for his big guns to arrive before moving against Fort Amherstburg. By the 11th of August, Hull and the last of the American forces in Upper Canada had returned to Detroit ahead of General Brock's arrival.
Sitting among larger buildings, the François Baby House now serves as a regional museum.

This is, finally, my Playing for the Prize of Free Scholar of the Bartholomew Bramble Schoole of Defense. I have been training and participating with this group of Historical Reenactors for about 7 years. Part of what we do is to translate original historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) manuscripts and apply them in a practical manner to the art of medieval sword fighting. Once a 'scholar' has achieved a level of competence, as determined by the head trainer, Richard Swinney, a scholar may compete to become a free scholar. This involves fighting with 3 different weapons (Basket Hilt Sword, Long Sword, and either sword and buckler or staff (long and short)--I chose staff. The seeker of the free scholar must win 8 bouts with each of the 3 weapons (minimum 24 bouts) by scoring at least 3 unanswered strikes or by disarming their opponent.
I am happy to say that I accomplished this objective.

On the recommendation of Raj at MIT, I made a point of visiting Stalin K at his organization. Drishti is a unique human rights and development organization that uses media, communications and the arts to strengthen India's social movements and organizations, in order to extend their reach and to increase the participation of marginalized communities. They're working on great projects right now related to community radio and video in both urban and rural contexts, as well as film clubs for college youth. But the LUNCH, man that was the true sense of community participatory behavior. Folks share their food on one huge metal plate, stand around and eat enormous amounts using hands and throwing out polite. It was pretty tasty and fun.
