This is one of the best known landmarks and one of the most published images of Bangkok. It consists of a massive elongated prang (Khmer-style tower), and is surrounded by four smaller prangs. The prang is described by the Tourism Authority of Thailand as 104m high, while most other sources quote figures around 80-85m. It is decorated by bits of porcelain which had previously been used as ballast by boats coming to Bangkok from China, a hallmark of the reign of King Rama III. The Wat had a brief period as host of the celebrated Emerald Buddha, which now resides in nearby Wat Phra Kaew. Wat Arun is a little unusual as it's really the only major tourist attraction on the Thonburi side of the river, but I found that it was one of my favourite Wat's to visit while I was in Bangkok.

Lourdes
Lourdes is in southwestern France, and is famous for the 15 apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes that are reported to have been seen in 1858 by 14 year old Bernadette Soubirous.
Reports of the apparitions have led to Lourdes developing into a major place of Christian pilgrimage and of alleged miraculous healings.
In fact on the rock face near the statue of Our Lady you could see crutches that have been discarded by some of the many disabled people who felt that they had been rendered mobile during their visit to the grotto. The crutches are no longer there.
The 150th. Jubilee of the first apparition took place on the 11th. February 2008 with an outdoor mass attended by approximately 45,000 pilgrims.
Today Lourdes has a population of around 15,000, but is able to take in some 5 million pilgrims and tourists every season. With about 270 hotels, Lourdes has the second greatest number of hotels in France after Paris.
Pop icon Madonna named her daughter Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon after the town.
A Poem by Rose Kelleher
There is a poem called "Lourdes" in the book Bundle o' Tinder, a collection of poems by Rose Kelleher which won the 2007 Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize.
In the poem she expresses doubts that she would clearly like to be resolved. Here is the poem:
"A trickle from a single spring
heals a few who travel to your grotto
high in the Pyrenees. You're hard to get to,
and can't fix everything.
One wound, one tumour at a time -
why must your miracle be watered down?
Let limbs regrow from stumps in Sierra Leone.
Now that would be a sign.
Burst the spigots. Overflow.
Send mercy surging down the mountainside,
washing over every borderline.
Don't just stand there. Go
to battlefields and seek us out.
Hurry, before the bodies start to smell.
Repack that soldier's brains inside his skull.
Cure my doubt".

Il Lago dei cigni più dinamico, euforico e abbagliante finalmente per la prima volta in Italia.
Swan Lake reloaded, fin dal suo debutto a Stoccolma nel dicembre 2011, è diventato un fenomeno di straordinario successo sia per il pubblico che per la critica.
Grazie al perfetto e originale mash up di musica, danza e design, lo spettacolo continua a registrare sold-out nei principali teatri di tutta Europa (The Coliseum, Londra – Casino de Paris, Parigi – Admiralspalast, Berlino – Maaghalle, Zurigo, solo per citarne alcuni) e il 17 marzo 2014 debutta per la prima volta in Italia al Teatro degli Arcimboldi di Milano.
Swan Lake, la versione Reloaded di Rydman.
Ovvero: come da un negozio fetish di Londra si può trarre ispirazione per un’opera d’arte.
“Stavo dando un'occhiata a Camden Market e ho visto queste gonne di pelle nera con nappe intrecciate”, racconta Rydman. “La cosa strana è che mi hanno ricordato dei cigni scuri e ho pensato: e se i cigni ne Il lago dei cigni fossero prostitute drogate e il cattivo Rothbart il loro protettore? Ero totalmente rapito dall'idea che ho verificato subito su Google se qualcuno avesse già riflettuto su questa interpretazione”.
Nessuno lo aveva fatto.
Čajkovskij a passo di street dance.
La commistione tra stili di danza apparentemente agli antipodi fra loro, street dance e danza classica, si ritrova anche nella scelta delle musiche. Per questa produzione, infatti, Rydman ha utilizzato, insieme alle musiche originali di Čajkovskij, brani composti ad hoc da musicisti pop e rock svedesi e internazionali. L’intuizione del coreografo svedese si è rivelata vincente. Rydman, membro e fondatore della compagnia svedese di danza Bounce, vede nel successo dello show la conferma che la street dance può finalmente essere considerata uno stile di danza a tutti gli effetti, in grado di attirare e soddisfare un pubblico sempre più vasto.

Il concerto che Vinicio Capossela ha tratto dal suo ultimo lavoro “Rebetiko Gymnastas” (La Cupa/Warner) uscito nel giugno 2012
Il rebetiko (Ρεμπέτικο) o rebetika (Ρεμπέτικα) (plurale) è un genere della musica greca. In Grecia è considerato come il tango per gli argentini, il blues per gli americani e come il fado per i portoghesi. È nato nei bassifondi della società greca, da persone emarginate che volevano raccontare i loro disagi o le loro peripezie tramite la musica. La tematica delle canzoni riguardava storie di povertà, prigione, droghe, storie d'amore, problemi sociali, prostituzione, in modo passionale, a volte triste e a volte ironico o scherzoso.
Dopo gli “Esercizi allo Scoperto” che Vinicio Capossela e i suoi Rebetici Ginnasti hanno praticato all’aperto nell’estate olimpica appena trascorsa, il rebetiko rientra al chiuso, nei rock club, ovvero negli spazi coperti che più si confanno al suo spirito ribelle e underground.
Il rebetiko è musica nata da una catastrofe, da una grande crisi e da una colossale migrazione.Da allora ha sempre avuto un contenuto eversivo, ha portato in sé il cromosoma della ribellione, della rivolta individuale. Rebeta viene dal turco rebet, ribelle, colui che meno si tira indietro quando le città vanno a fuoco. Il rebeta è uno che non si sottomette al meccanismo del consumo e che semmai cerca la sua bellezza altrove. Scrive John Berger che la musica iniziò dal grido che lamenta una perdita. Il rebetiko è una musica che lamenta quello che tutti noi abbiamo perduto, una musica che non dimentica le sue origini. Si officia in luoghi chiusi, dove si beve e si privilegia lo struggimento individuale.
Saranno con Vinicio Capossela i grandi musicisti della tradizione rebete che l’hanno accompagnato nel disco e dal vivo: Vassilis Massalas alla chitarra e baglamas, Ntino Chatziiordanou alla fisarmonica e all’organo Farfisa, Dimitri Emmanouil alle percussioni e soprattutto l’insigne solista del bouzouki Manolis Pappos. Completeranno l’organico due pilastri della band di Capossela quali Alessandro Asso Stefana alla chitarra e Glauco Zuppiroli al contrabbasso.

Constance Mackness (1882-1973), teacher and author, was born on 17 June 1882 at Tuena, New South Wales.
Constance became the first female dux of the Fort Street Model School, matriculating in 1898 with honours in French, and winning one of only three university bursaries available to girls. In 1902 she graduated B.A. from the University of Sydney with first-class honours in English, French and history and a prize for physiography, taught by Professor (Sir) Edgeworth David, who also gave her the grounding for her retirement hobby, conchology.
Constance Mackness published ten books, all of them about young people, and wrote 'pars', articles and short stories for the Bulletin and local papers.

I was floored when my plushies were selected to appear in the summer edition of Stuffed magazine. I am relatively new to plushie creation(3ish years) and thought I had no chance to to be picked. I sent 3 Quirky Costumed Kids in a big brown box to STUFFED headquarters as a first step to living my dream to be a successful stay-at-home mom and craft artist. Lo and Behold they chose them to be part of their publication and I am super happy about it :D
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Philip G. Hunt & Co. of London SW. The image is a glossy real photograph.
The card was posted in London on Monday the 8th. March 1920 to:
Miss G. N. Robinson,
29, Bryan Road,
Blackpool.
Rotten Row
Rotten Row (on the right of the photograph) is a broad track running along the south side of Hyde Park in London.
Rotten Row was established by William III, who created the broad avenue and lit it with 300 oil lamps in 1690 - the first artificially lit highway in the UK.
Rotten Row is a common street name in towns and villages in England and Scotland. It describes a place where there was once a row of tumbledown cottages infested with rats (raton), and goes back at least to the 14th. century.
In the 18th. century and onwards, Rotten Row became a popular meeting place for upper-class Londoners. Particularly on weekend evenings and at midday, people would dress in their finest clothes in order to ride on horseback along the Row and be seen by others.
The adjacent South Carriage Drive (on the left in the photograph) was used by society people in carriages for the same purpose. In the photograph you can see people standing and admiring the carriages as they pass.
Rotten Row is still maintained as a bridleway to ride horses in the centre of London, but it is little used - there are few horses in central London, although the Household Cavalry, stabled nearby at Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge, exercise their horses there.
The IRA Car Bomb
A sad day in the Regiment's history was the 20th. July 1982, when the IRA set off a car bomb by remote control as The Queen's Life Guard were passing. Four men and seven horses were killed.
To this day, each time the The Queen's Life Guard pass where the bomb was detonated, they bring their swords down from the "slope" to the "carry", coupled with an "eyes right" or "eyes left" as an ongoing tribute.
Eva Dahlbeck
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 8th. March 1920 marked the birth of Eva Dahlbeck.
Eva Elisabet Dahlbeck was a Swedish stage, film, and television actress. She received a Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress for her performance in the film Brink of Life (1958).
Dahlbeck retired from acting in 1970 and became an author.
Eva Dahlbeck
Eva Dahlbeck was born in Saltsjö-Duvnäs near Stockholm. She attended the prestigious Royal Dramatic Training Academy from 1941 to 1944, and acted on the Theatre's stage from 1944 to 1964.
She made her film debut playing the role of Botilla in Ride Tonight! (1942).
Eva Dahlbeck's Acting and Literary Career
Among Eva's roles in Swedish films were the shrewd celebrity reporter Vivi in Love Goes Up and Down (1946), the working-class mother Rya-Rya in the drama Only a Mother (1949); Mrs. Larsson, the warmhearted mother of seven in the popular children's film Kastrullresan (1950), and the young primary school teacher in Gustaf Molander's Trots (1952).
In the mid-1950's Dahlbeck was one of Sweden's most popular and successful actresses. She became internationally known for her strong female leads in a number of Ingmar Bergman's films, in particular his comedies Secrets of Women (1952), A Lesson in Love (1954), and Smiles of a Summer Night (1955).
In 1961 Eva was honoured with the Eugene O'Neill Award for her stage work, and in 1965 she won the award for Best Actress at the 2nd Guldbagge Awards for her role in the film The Cats (1965).
Eva retired from the stage in 1964, and made her final appearance on screen in the Danish film Tintomara (1970).
Eva published several novels and poems in her native Sweden, and wrote the screenplay for Arne Mattsson's dark film The Yngsjö murder in 1966.
Eva Dahlbeck's Personal Life and Death
Eva married Sven Lampell, an air force officer, in 1944, and the couple had two sons. Sven died in 2007. Eva lived out the last years of her life in Hässelby Villastad, Stockholm, where she died on the 8th. February 2008 at the age of 87.

Lo spettacolo
Un’affascinante fusione della tradizione di oltre 3000 anni di arte acrobatica cinese con l’approccio multidisciplinare del Cirque du Soleil, Dralion trae ispirazione dalla filosofia orientale e dalla sua infinita ricerca di armonia tra umani e natura. Il nome dello spettacolo deriva da due creature emblematiche: il drago, simbolo dell’Est, e il leone, simbolo dell’Ovest.
In Dralion i quattro elementi che governano l’ordine naturale prendono forma umana. Ogni elemento è rappresentato dal proprio colore evocativo: l’aria è blu, l’acqua è verde, il fuoco è rosso e la terra è ocra. Nel mondo di Dralion le culture si mescolano, Uomo e Natura sono una cosa sola, e viene raggiunto l’equilibrio.
CAST
Dralion features 50 members in its performance troupe, of which about 5 or 6 play principal characters.
Azala (air): The goddess of air who is dressed in blue, keeper of the sun and the guardian of immortality.
Gaya (earth): The goddess of earth, dressed in ochre.
Océane (water): The goddess of water, dressed in green.
Yao (fire): The god of fire, dressed in red, who is both good and evil.
L'Âme Force: The show's singers who symbolize harmony between the four elements.
Kala: Represents the heart of the wheel of time, making time evolve.
Little Buddha: The chosen child who possesses powers that will eventually allow him to become an Âme-Force, but dreams of being a regular child.
Dralions: Mythical creatures inspired by the imagery of the Chinese lion dance and dragon dance.
Clowns: The clowns manage to push this otherwise harmonious universe slightly off-kilter.

EC Comics Reprints
By Michael Vance
Boys experience profound moments that shape their lives. They learn parents aren’t perfect, and that girls are something other.
I bought the farm in ’65.
On that farm, aliens were landing. In and around me, it created no small stir.
With the farm came the secret horror of eternal youth, a murderer aboard a spaceship filled with sleeping beauties, and a baby slain on the banks of Saint George Bay. The ‘farm’ I’d bought was a story in a paperback comics collection, “Tales of the Incredible”.
That paperback taught me that comics could be excellent literature. Eventually, I learned these stories I’d loved were reprinted from “Weird Science”, “Weird Fantasy” and “Weird Science-Fantasy”, comic published by EC.
EC published these and more than a dozen titles in the early ‘50s, as well as “Mad” and a forgotten humor title, “Panic”. Imagine my joy when I found EC's horror comics, “The Vault of Horror”, “The Haunt of Fear”, and “Tales from the Crypt (now an HBO TV series).
Guess my horror at the prince of a single original issue of these rare books!
Prepare for a profound moment. Russ Cochran, Publisher, began reprinting all of these anthology comics in the ‘70s. The “EC Library” is now available in oversized, hardcover sets with slipcovers, most priced at over $100. The library includes “Crime Suspenstories”, “Shock Suspenstories”, “Two Fisted Tales”, “Frontline Combat”, and EC’s SF and humor titles. One hodge-podge set offers “MD”, “Impact”, Psychoanalysis”, “Aces High”, “Extra!”, “Valor” and “Piracy”.
You may order by mail or through a comics shop now that boys have become men. But remember, you’ve learned parents are completely fallible and girls are (shudder) more than something other. Your illusions are shattered.
On the farm I bought, aliens still land, and in and around me, EC still creates no small stir!
Photograph published 14th December 1918
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognize anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
Early 1930s. Published in a book called 'Wonderful London - Silver Jubilee Souvenir' (of King George V and Queen Mary, 1935).
"Remembering the price of land in the City, we may be surprised at the little oases of green that occur here and there. Many of them are remnants of old churchyards, and the plot of land where the famous plane-tree stands at the corner of Wood Street and Cheapside once belonged to St Peter at the Cross. The tree itself, which is mentioned in Wordsworth's "The Reverie of Poor Susan" is stringently protected in the leases of neighbouring buildings. The doubtful claim of the shop at the corner of Friday Street is no longer in dispute: it has recently given way to one of the newest edifices in Cheapside".

Well, I'm published four times a month if you count the magazines I work for... and all those CD covers and software packages I've designed... and web interfaces and retouched photos I've done... and all those catalogs I've done...
Well, let me rephrase, I've been published for a job I didn't get paid for!
uh...
yay?

Slash feat. Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators fanno tappa al Fabrique di Milano con il Living The Dream Tour l'8 marzo 2019.
Hanno pubblicato il loro nuovo album in studio intitolato “Living The Dream” il 21 settembre su Snakepit Records, etichetta di Slash, in partnership con Roadrunner Records/Warner Music. Il 25 Luglio scorso è uscito il primo singolo dal titolo “Driving Rain” e in attesa di ascoltare il disco intero annunciamo la data italiana. A proposito di “Driving Rain”, Slash ha dichiarato che: “Questo riff mi ricorda i vecchi Aerosmith!”
Slash, pseudonimo di Saul Hudson, è un chitarrista, compositore e produttore discografico britannico naturalizzato statunitense, noto per la sua militanza nei Guns N' Roses (1985-1996 e nuovamente dal 2016) e per la sua carriera solista avviata nel 2010.
Il soprannome gli fu affibbiato da Seymour Cassel, padre di un suo amico d'infanzia. Si trova in 65ª posizione nella classifica dei 100 migliori chitarristi di tutti i tempi secondo la rivista Rolling Stone ed è annoverato fra le influenze primarie di Kenny Olson, Nashville Pussy, Hardliner, New American Shame, Jason Krause, Kenny Wayne Shepherd e altri ancora.
Myles Kennedy, nato Myles Richard Bass, è un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense, noto per essere il frontman del gruppo musicale hard rock Alter Bridge, nonché la voce del gruppo di Slash dal 2010.
È inoltre l'ex-cantante dei The Mayfield Four e del gruppo fusion Citizen Swing; ha anche suonato la chitarra per il gruppo strumentale jazz Cosmic Dust. Oltre a Slash, il cui omonimo album di debutto da solista contiene due brani scritti insieme a Kennedy e cantate da quest'ultimo, Kennedy ha collaborato con vari altri artisti, tra i quali Fozzy, Sevendust e gli ex-membri dei Led Zeppelin.

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 8th of July 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images please comment below.
Copies of this photograph may be ordered from us, for more information see: www.newcastle.gov.uk/tlt Please make a note of the image reference number above to help speed up your order.
One of our earliest books. I found this book in an unsecured vestibule area on the 2nd floor of the Barracks, just laying out where anyone could have walked off with it.
I will need outside help evaluating and cataloging this book, because there is no title page, there is writing in the margins throughout, and there is an illustration on what remains of the inner front board.
Using Silhouette Zebra background, tag, and sentiment.
