L'origine del misterioso potere attribuito ai gatti neri è da ricercarsi nell'antico Egitto, paese in cui il culto della dea Bastet, la dea gatto, rese i gatti animali sacri. Ma il gatto era anche vicino ad un altro culto, quello della dea Iside (Artemide per i Greci e Diana per i Romani), che era la dea della notte, il cui colore era appunto il nero.
La notte è sempre stata per l'umanità motivo di paura, ma ha anche esercitato una seduzione magica. La notte è il momento in cui, sia mentalmente sia fisicamente, si allenta il livelo di attenzione e tensione e si diventa facili prede dei sogni e dell'immaginazione e, quindi, potenzialmente vittime più indifese di poteri oscuri e misteriosi.
E' naturale che il gatto nero diventasse l'animale più caro alla dea della Notte e il suo rappresentante prediletto sulla terra. Un gatto nero nella notte è quasi invisibile, ma se i suoi occhi incontrano una luce, brillano in modo inquietante: appartiene alla terra una visione simile? Si può rabbrividire e arrivare a pensare che tale creatura venga a farci visita da un "altro" mondo...
Ma Iside era anche la Dea della fortuna e da qui ebbe inizio un altro filone delle credenze legate al gatto nero, opposto a quello più noto: anche lui, incarnazione animale della Dea, aveva poteri protettivi. Presso i Romani e altri popoli dell'antichità un gatto nero, per esempio, era considerato di buon auspicio sulle navi.

The origin of the name Khiva is unknown, but many contradictory stories have been told to explain it.
A traditional story attributes the name to one of the sons of Noah: "It is said that Shem [from whence the word Semitic is derived], after the flood, he found himself wandering in the desert alone. Having fallen asleep, he dreamt of 300 burning torches. On waking up, he was pleased with this omen, he founded the city with outlines in the form of a ship mapped out according to the placement of the torches, about which he had dreamt. Then Sim dug the 'Kheyvak' well, the water from which had a surprising taste. It is possible to see this well in Ichan-Kala (an internal town of Khiva City) even today."
This trip was one part of a two weeks journey that took us from Tashkent (Ташкент) to Nukus (Нөкис), Muynak (Мўйноқ), Bukhara (Бухара), Samarkand (Самарқанд) and the Ferghana Valley (Фергана өрөөнү)

Artist Statement:
Contemporary women artists and the perceptions of women in the art world are constantly in flux between two positions. Some female artists can feel pressured to work as solitary, monolithic creators in order become successful or distinctive. For others, there exists a sense of community and a desire to work together within the larger context of feminism and gender awareness. The tensions and boundaries between these two states of being must constantly be negotiated.

On August 6th, 2016, Grayslake residents Josh Schneider and Matt Kozak helped organize "Spikefest," the first ever Spikeball tournament in Grayslake. 43 teams came from as far as Mammoth Lakes, CA and as local as Grayslake, IL to raise money for “Oasis for Orphans” and compete for prizes that included gift certificates, Spikeball sets, and lots of other sponsored items. The winning team was “Origin Oblivion” from Chicago, IL consisting of Matthew Bohnen and Joey Hafertepe. At the time, Origin Oblivion was ranked 121st in the country with 38 tournament points. They are part of Origin Roundnet, which has teams ranked 1st, 6th, and 7th in the nation. 2nd place was "Tetelestai" from Chicago, IL with Logan Cornelius and Jesse Throw. Third was "Bromigo Spikes" from Chicago, IL with Trent Weller and Zac Nabhan. Fourth place was “Origin Rezurrection” from Mt. Prospect, IL with Tony Gottuso and Ben Smith.

The origins of Sutton and Sons date back to 1998, when Danny Sutton opened a fishmongers (formerly âThe Fishery') on Stoke Newington high street. Things must have worked out rather well as, in 2010, Danny and his wife Hana decided to open a fish and chip restaurant just up the road. As you can probably imagine, this is no ordinary fish and chip shop and, although they're much beloved for their traditional takeaway, this place is more a (small) fish restaurant that puts some emphasis on takeaway fish and chips and traditional British food. After all, when was the last time you saw a chippie doing an offer on half a dozen oysters and a bottle of prosecco? Or an actual wine menu at a chippie? Yes indeed! I didnât get a trad fish and chips but the portion sizes looked immense if what anyone else was eating was anything to go by.
Sutton & Sonâs non piscine offerings include traditional english fare like steak and kidney pie, and the atmosphere is very much that of your local chip shop, though I guess with a few âcontemporaryâ touches. That said, there are the obvious nods to the traditional chippie such as tiled walls and one of those things at the counter where you can watch freshly made fish under those oddly coloured heat lamps that keep the food warm. Whilst Danny oversees the running of the business, Hana produced a range of desserts and pickles for the restaurant. There's a chalkboard which shows (presumably) what she has created on the day. We had her vanilla cheesecake, which was absolutely and exactly what a cheesecake should be :3
It's not just the desserts that change regularly. Asides from the regular a-la carte, the 'Catch of the Day' - which, as far as I can tell, the stuff they got in earlier in the day from the fishmonger side of the business. On the day this included quite a few delicious fishes but we tried mackerel (for me) and a pint of prawns (yeah, by the pint! for my friend). What we got was representative of a good fish restaurant - unpretentious and good quality seafood, prepared simply. Nothing particularly mindblowing, but at the level of quality you would expect, fresh from a fishmonger. Another thing worth mentioning is that they have definitely got the recipe for chips right. As you probably know, a lot of the time, when a fishmonger fries a wedge of potato, the result can be quiteâ¦limp and oily. Not so here - the chips are just just delicious crispy and lightly salted. And, lest we forget: deep fried Mars Bars are also a thing, and also on the menu.
If youâre interested in putting these guys to the test for yourself, thereâs now two more Sutton & Sons restaurants - one in Islington, and one in Shoreditchâs Boxpark (which I assume is more temporary). Iâll sum this up with the thoughts of âChris bâ, a TripAdvisor commentator: â...there has been such a decline in fish and chip shops, and many today are kebab and chicken places with perhaps an old bit of fried fish lying about. But not so here.â. Also can we make takeaway mackerel a thing? I would love to live in a world where takeaway mackerel was a thing...
Le origini del pesto.
La prima ricetta si pensa risalga all'Ottocento.
Dal latino: Ocimum basilicum.
Coltivato da ogni puro genovese e divorato di conseguenza, su abbondanti trenette al dente, il pesto colora il palato di verde e di umide foglie tritate con sapienza, ma il risultato nel piatto esce solo dopo pazienza nel bagnarlo, energia nel tritarlo e nel mortaio liquefarlo.
Il resto degli ingredienti trova sempre discussioni. In Italia non mancano mai rivisitazioni, cuochi artisti li miscelano ad altri sapori, ma in famiglia ormai vige un'unica versione, senza formaggio, per carità perchè disgusta certe persone. Così la nonna ha deciso e guai a portarglielo vicino. Impazzirebbe a lavare tutto ciò che di formaggio appare. Quindi, nulla, anche in liguria si trasgredisce a piacere: tante foglie, qualche pinolo, sale grosso e olio buono, ma di formaggio non provatene a parlare! Solo sopra al proprio piatto quasi a decorazione.

The origins of the fair related to St Giles' Church at the north end of St Giles'. This was originally completed in 1120, but the church was not actually consecrated until 1200, by St Hugh of Lincoln, a Carthusian monk and bishop. As part of the commemoration of the consecration, St Giles' Fair was established. The fair continues to this day, nowadays as a funfair, held on the Monday and Tuesday after the Sunday following 1 September, which is St Giles' Day.Autumn 2012
Origins
Smooth jazz as it is known today first emerged in the mid- to late-1970s, pioneered by such artists as Grover Washington, Jr., Spyro Gyra and Pieces of a Dream, stemming from a number of extant styles including jazz fusion. Unlike that form, however, smooth jazz tends to emphasize melody and deemphasize improvisation.
The genre's roots, however, can be traced to some time earlier: in the late 1960s famed record producer Creed Taylor worked with guitarist Wes Montgomery on three widely popular records (1967's A Day in the Life and Down Here on the Ground and 1968's Road Song) consisting of instrumental versions of familiar pop songs such as "Eleanor Rigby", "I Say a Little Prayer" and "Scarborough Fair".
From this success, Taylor founded CTI Records. Many established jazz performers recorded for CTI (including Freddie Hubbard, Chet Baker, George Benson and Stanley Turrentine) though the records they recorded under Taylor's guidance were typically aimed as much at pop audiences as at jazz fans; critic Scott Yanow writes that "Taylor had great success in balancing the artistic with the commercial."[1]
