Conceived as theater in the round, The Sundance Kid is Beautiful presents Christopher Knowles, the multitalented poet, linguist, performer, and visual artist. This sixty-minute solo work—performed within Knowles’s ICA exhibition—features the artist performing multiple actions in different time and scale registers in concert with more than a dozen short texts, including selections from his libretto for Robert Wilson and Phillip Glass’s landmark opera Einstein on the Beach. Lighting and sculptural props silhouette and magnify Knowles in a landscape-like environment so that he becomes a larger-than-life character inside his own universe. Knowles employs a distinctly rigorous yet playful logic to explore the relationships between language, sign, and meaning where the stage is fashioned as a veritable illustrated snapshot of his world, one in which the artist and audience can join in celebration. The result is a deeply intimate introduction into the radiant and subterranean work of Christopher Knowles.

Here's the front side of Mothra. His antennae have antennae!!! Gross!! And he almost looks like an owl in his markings. I know that's an evolutionary trait of some larger moths.
BACKSTORY: This HUUUGE moth fell into our house from the back kitchen door. We called it "Mothra"; a common christening for house moths of this size. This was to be a good opportunity for Oranjello to satisfy his hunting urges, as well as to train him to hunt pests -- since we have the occasional mice and snakes (and raccoons!). It also proved to be an excellent photo-op.
hanging.
antennae, Mothra.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg visited the National Defense University in Kyiv the day before.
They met with the students of the institution, who are undergoing professional military training courses in accordance with NATO standards. The NATO Secretary General called this one of the examples of how the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is increasingly integrating Ukraine into its structure and educational programs.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the prospects of bolstering Ukraine's air defense. The Head of State noted that thanks to the assistance of our partners, our servicemen have mastered modern Western air defense systems and no other country in the Alliance has such a large number of different types.
"Today, our experts can tell exactly which system is ideal for us and what we are lacking. Our air defense is not yet universal, it is changing and being enhanced every day. Not only with air defense systems, but also with electronic warfare, anti-drone systems, and so on," he said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukrainian defenders of the sky today face a complex of different threats, and the struggle of technologies continues.
"I am confident that we will have modern aircraft that will also be a part of this system," he added.
For his part, Jens Stoltenberg noted that once Ukraine becomes a member of the Alliance, it will be fully integrated into the NATO air defense system.
"At the same time, we need to make you as interoperable as possible. And integrate you as much as we can," he said.
The Head of State emphasized the importance for Ukraine to receive an invitation to join the North Atlantic Alliance and spoke about the work of the NATO-Ukraine Council.
"We can convene it without any bureaucratic pauses when Ukraine needs it. This is one of the tools. Today we discussed several new tools with the Secretary General," he summarized.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Jens Stoltenberg also visited an exhibition of captured and destroyed Russian equipment on the university grounds.
Thousands of people watched this landmark event in the nation's Capital and one of Washington DC's favorite parades! The Capital Pride Parade presented by Marriott International traveled 1.5 miles through Dupont Circle and 17th Street and ended in the Logan Circle neighborhood. The parade included more than 170 contingents-floats, vehicles, walkers, entertainment-consisting of local businesses, Capital Pride Heroes and Engendered Spirit awardees, politicians, community groups, drag queens, dogs, and much more. For the first time, a U.S. Military color guard led the parade.

Natural History Museum of Utah. The Rio Tinto Center, in the University of Utah's Research Park 301 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City. Photograph by James Russiello, November 11, 2017
The Rio Tinto Center is a 163,000-square-foot building set in foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. The building's highest point is a round structure on the back or east side which houses the Native Voices gallery. The architects for the building that opened in 2011 were Ennead Architects from New York City and GSBS of Salt Lake City. Ralph Appelbaum Associates designed the exhibits.
"The museum was conceived in 1959, when the University of Utah faculty committee decided to consolidate natural history collections from around its campus. The museum was established as the Utah Museum of Natural History on the University of Utah campus in 1963 by the Utah State Legislature. It opened in 1969 in the former George Thomas Library and included specimens from the Deseret Museum as well as from the Charles Nettleton Strevell Museum that was located in the old Lafayette School on South Temple Street from 1939 until 1947.
"The paleontology collections acquired a very important amount of new collected specimens during the 1960s, particularly fossilised remains of dinosaurs. It all began when a young local paleontologist called James Henry Madsen Jr. obtained his Master of Science in 1959 in the University of Utah. The following year, as of 1960, Madsen was hired as an assistant for Professor William Lee Stokes of the Princeton University, who at that time performed the dauntless project to extensively dig the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. Since the 1920s it had been firmly established by geologists that this quarry is one of the most important paleontological sites ever found in the United States, and still in the early 1960s literally tens of thousands of disarticulated dinosaur bones were buried in the rock, awaiting to be excavated. Because the bone bed was so vast and contained a so huge quantity of fossilised bones (mainly from Allosaurus fragilis), it seemed obvious to Stokes and Madsen that it was literally impossible for a single unique institution to dig up a number of specimens being realistically representative of the overall total. To accomplish this task, or at least a reasonable part of it, Stokes and Madsen founded the "University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project," thank to initial funds allowed by the University of Utah and its Department of Geology. This project worked 16 years during in close collaboration not only with museums and institutions within the USA but also with prestigious international museums and research centers. Since financial assistance was brought by all the institutions who had participated in the project, the Dinosaur Project granted them casts or even original composite specimens of the dinosaurs found in the quarry.
"In the running time of the "Cooperative Dinosaur Project" (from 1960 to 1976), literally tons of fossilised bones were dug up from the quarry, numerous remains of species as famous as Camarasaurus, Camptosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Stegosaurus and, of course, Allosaurus, among others (Allosaurus is by far the most represented species, with 44-46 individuals found). In addition of these already known species, two new species were discovered and named: Stokesosaurus (in 1974) and Marshosaurus (in 1976), whose holotypes are preciously preserved in the Natural History Museum of Utah. In 1976 the University of Utah stopped the project. To continue financing his research, Madsen founded Dinolab, a company that casted and sold skeletons of dinosaurs to museums, institutions or private buyers. Madsen died in 2009 and Dinolab disappeared in 2014, but thank to the "University of Utah Cooperative Dinosaur Project" and Madsen's excavations in the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry back in the 1960s and 1970s, the Natural History Museum of Utah possesses nowadays on display the biggest collection in the world of Allosaurus skeletons, among some additional dinosaur skeletal mounts belonging to other species."

Nice early Summer day in Ann Arbor. Saw lots of fox squirrels out and about in Ann Arbor on Monday July 8th, 2019 at the University of Michigan. So all sorts of things going on. I did not see "Patches O'Houlihan" today - and needed to get him a second medicated pecan. Patches is a squirrel who had lost most of her fur because of mange on the Law Quad. I reached out to the Friends of Wildlife Michigan and they connected me with someone who has worked up some medicated pecans for me to feed the squirrels. I did get the second medicated pecan for "Justin" - named for the youngest team member on the dodgeball team that Patches coaches. I did see "Steve the Pirate" again. He has something on his left paw - and a bald patch on his left side and gets his second pecan on Wednesday. I did see Lefty (the three pawed squirrel) again behind Martha Cook - always good to see her.
Of course I only realized five years later that I never finished the top of the blue ghost! What the hell! The top of his head is missing! I have no idea WHAT I was thinking!

On each side of a bright river he saw rise a line of brighter
palaces, arched and pillared, and inlaid with deep red
porphyry, and with serpentine; along the quays before
their gates were riding troops of knights, noble in face and
form, dazzling in crest and shield; horse and man one
labyrinth of quaint colour and gleaming light—the purple,
and silver, and scarlet fringes flowing over the strong
limbs and clashing mail, like sea-waves over rocks at
sunset. Opening on each side from the river were gardens,
courts, and cloisters; long successions of white pillars
among wreaths of vine; leaping of fountains through buds
of pomegranate and orange: and still along the gardenpaths,
and under and through the crimson of the
pomegranate shadows, moving slowly, groups of the
fairest women .

Behind the Scenes Tour of the Elkhart County Historical Museum in Bristol Indiana was conducted by Liz Haeuptle, Curator of Collections on Saturday, July 28, 2012. A small group of visitors took a journey through the seldom-seen storage collection of cultural artifacts and irreplaceable objects - totaling more than 10,000 objects and over 100,000 documents of Elkhart County.
Beginning with the Genealogy and Historical Society Collections through the quarantine area where new acquisitions are evaluated and classified to the small objects storage and finally the large objects storage, that included a complete early 20th century horse drawn hearse carriage originally used by the Hartzler-Gutermuth Funeral Home.
After the tour, visitors stepped into the shoes of a curator, wearing the gloves and using the tools to handle a rare object, examining its condition and preparing the item for storage.
I bought myself a new lens Friday just so I could get pictures like this. It is an 88-400 mm zoom. I ride the Los Gatos Creek Trail five days a week for about nine months of the year. Most years it is a big deal if I see blue herons five times. There were two of them out today. I have more pictures of these dramatic creatures at www.flickr.com/photos/loualexander/sets/72157621131669696/

The circle of life - this duck did not survive the recent cold and the seagull had a meal. It must have died recently as the body still appeared warm.
