Press F if you like!
I must be easily pleased - but, this small illustrated colour booklet of some 16 pages is so beautifully produced and is about such an esoteric subject as halibut oil that it is a gem! It was issued about 1950 I would say, given the style and 'feel', and was printed at The Fanfare Press, London, for The Crookes Laboratories who were based at Park Royal in north west London and from where they manufactured many vitamins and supplements including those made from halibut liver oil that provided Vitamin D.
Crookes have a fascinating history and they still exist as a multinational concern, based in Nottingham, as they had been for many years part of Boots the Chemists who had acquired them in 1971. Boots bought the company from the Park Royal 'neighbours' Guinness who had an interest in Crookes from 1960 when they'd jointly bought them along with a division of Philips. They're now owned by Reckitt Benckiser who took over Boots Healthcare manufacturing division in 2005.
The origins of the company go back to the eminant scientist Sir William Crookes, he of the Crookes Tube that allowed the development of many other technologies. It was his son, Henry, who started making colloids in around 1912 and whose concern became part of British Colloids in 1919, the name changing to Crookes Laboratories in 1951.
According to the booklet much clever technology was required from when the fresh halibut livers arrived at Park Royal until the purified capsules left! The charming illustartions and text look at the need for and importance of Vitamin D in such a sun-drenched country as the UK and the various demanding life and work styles encountered by many people. The illustartions are all signed "Xenia" and I'm tempted to think this is no other than Xenia Kashevaroff Cage (1913 - 1995?), the US born artist or some renown but whose work was overshadowed by her one time husband John Cage.
It seems a bit far fetched but Xenia, noted for sculptural forms and mobiles, did a series of posters for BOAC at around the same time and the style is so very similar. Hopefully this can be confirmed one way or the other!
KANCHU SUIYOKU (Mid-Winter Bathing)
Men of all ages come to the Teppozu Inari Shrine to participate in the mid-winter bathing ceremony known as Kanchu Suiyoku. Men wearing only loincloths are purified first by priest's prayer, and then again when they enter into the icy water in a big tank on the shrine grounds, from around 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
As a purification ritual, these intrepid souls, submerged in a pool of near- freezing water, prostrate themselves against huge blocks of ice as they pray to the gods for good health and for the safety of their families in the coming year

Every year in late September - October, Turkey Vultures gather at a staging point in East Sooke Park off of Beechy Head to start their migration across the straits to Olympic Mountains and points south. There were hundreds in the air but this one, sitting in classic vulture pose, high up amidst the white bones of dead trees, seemed iconic.
The Golden Purifier (CATHARTES AURA) is a very powerful totem. If you have a Vulture as a spirit guide or totem, it can show you how to use energy powerfully and efficiently. It glides effortlessly on the winds, soaring to extraordinary heights while using little or no energy, making it a very powerful totem. Regardless of the less than good image, the vulture is typically granted by most, think about it: Unlike the needs of nearly all other living creatures, vultures do not kill. Their prey either dies or something else kills it and it is never another bird.
Truly a most noble attribute for any living entity, flora or fauna.

South Australia Gas Company Bowden.
This company was formed in 1861 and the works started on Chief Street in Bowden in 1863 to provide gas supplies for street and domestic lighting and in some cases heating. Gas works were associated with coal supplies as the coal was heated in an environment with no air to release gases of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and natural gas and steam. The process to obtain gas was hard, hot, dirty and odiferous. The process involved crushing the coal, condescending, pumping, removing tar, washing, drying, cleaning, purifying, blending and storing etc. It was then piped to the location of use. The streets of Adelaide and Brompton were the first lit in the colony in 1865. As demand grew the gas works grew until it covered several acres with numerous buildings and equipment. During World War Two the South Australian government was concerned about coal strikes and limited supplies of black coal arriving from New South Wales which caused power shortages and eventually led to the formation of the South Australian Electricity Supply Company – ETSA. Gas production at the Bowden plant ceased in 1965.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang beriman itu (yang sempurna imannya) ialah mereka yang apabila disebut nama Allah (dan sifat-sifatNya) gementarlah hati mereka; dan apabila dibacakan kepada mereka ayat-ayatNya, menjadikan mereka bertambah iman dan kepada Tuhan mereka jualah mereka berserah. Iaitu orang-orang yang mendirikan sembahyang dan yang mendermakan sebahagian dari apa yang Kami kurniakan kepada mereka. Merekalah orang-orang yang beriman dengan sebenar-benarnya; mereka akan mendapat pangkat-pangkat yang tinggi di sisi Tuhan mereka dan keampunan serta limpah kurnia yang mulia (di Syurga)."
"For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts; and when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord. Who establish regular prayers and spend (freely) out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance. Such in truth are the believers; they have grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness, and generous sustenance."

NEEDLE SPRAY BATH SYSTEM - Water on long missions must be closed-system, used over and over for all purposes. Waste water collected from all sources, redistilled and purified is shown here being used for a full bath. Heat is procured from the solar collector, is removed via the distillation process, and in turn converted into electricity to run the motors controlling the needle sprays on circulating system. Degradable detergents are used instead of soap, and recovered for reuse in the distillation process.

Esto no se trata de copyright (o leyes), se trata de dinero.
Capitalismo vs. Tecnología.
O de cómo los avances tecnológicos están carcomiendo
los principios axiomáticos, necesarios, del capitalismo
Digamos sus Ideales. El análogo platónico, el Ideal Capitalista.
Sus suposiciones, lecturas o conceptos de fondo. Sus esencias.
Lo que aquí tiembla no es la jurisprudencia o el derecho,
lo que aquí tiembla es una estructura o una arquitectura de poder,
fundamentada en concepciones que están abriéndose como una piel reseca
o un barro calcinado al sol.
Se trata de la digitalidad dando con tierra y clausurando buena parte del landscape materialista.
Se trata de lo inmaterial encontrando SU cuerpo, su perfecto dispositivo,
SU articulación o mecanismo. O al menos un cuerpo mucho más idóneo
que cualquiera que hubiera encontrado antes.
Hubo un tiempo en que la esencia era lo material, la última palabra,
aquello contra lo que difícilmente se podía oponer algo.
Eso cambió.
La cuestión está en el cambio de paradigma.
En el cimbronazo destructivo que sienten en sus cimientos
las jerarquías y absolutos que se conocían.
Lo interesante está en la posibilidad de un replanteo a bajo nivel
del sentido de valor, de los sistemas de valoración y sus escalas.
El objeto digital, infinitamente reproducible, multiplicable y alterable, inmune a las condiciones productivas, a limitaciones de costo, espacio o tiempos de producción, más parecido (mucho más) a las ideas que a los objetos, como una máquina de movimiento continuo, como una fuente inagotable de energía, como un stock de existencias infinito, como un fantasma, instantáneamente distribuible, casi conceptual y abstracto, no formaba parte, no existía, y no está concebido en la estructura material-capitalista.
Y funciona como una espoleta o carga de dinamita que hubiera sido alojada en sus vigas, paredes o columnas. El objeto digital, como el espíritu o el alma (lo descarnado, depurado) de la cultura y el conocimiento.
Información en estado puro, en todas partes y a la vez: Mensaje, mensaje en un soporte que lejos de anclarlo lo dispara.
Sin medio, sin intermediario, sin comisarios ni interposiciones.
Eso es lo que permite la era digital, la tecnología.
Degrada a lo material y al capital a una mera manutención de organismos,
a funciones de alimentación, gestión/administración y transporte.
A un segundo o tercer orden o grado de jerarquía.
A una intrascendencia vulgar o despreciable.
A un lugar que extrañaba.

This is not about copyright (or law), this is about money.
Capitalism vs. Technology.
Or how technological advances are undermining
The axiomatic, necessary principles of capitalism.
Let’s say its Ideals. The platonic analogous, the Capitalist Ideal.
Its core assumptions, readings or concepts. Its essences.
What is shattering here is not jurisprudence or rights,
What is shattered is a structure or an architecture of power,
Founded on conceptions that are cracking like parched skin
Or scorched mud.
It is digitality pulling down and closing down much of the materialist landscape.
It is the immaterial finding ITS body, its perfect device,
ITS articulation or mechanism. Or at least a much more suitable body
Than any of which it had found before.
There was a time when essence was material, the last word,
That to which hardly anything could be opposed.
That changed.
The crux of the matter lies in the paradigm shift.
In the destructive blast the known hierarchies and absolutes
feel in their foundations.
The interest lies in the possibility of a low-level redefinition
Of the sense of value, valuation systems and their scales.
The digital object, infinitely reproducible,multipliable and alterable,
Immune to productive conditions, cost, space or production time limitations, more (much more) similar to ideas than to objects, like a perpetual movement machine, like an endless stream of energy, like an infinite stock, like a ghost, instantaneously distributable, almost conceptual and abstract, did not belong, did not exist, and is not conceived in the material-capitalist structure.
And it works like a fuse or dynamite load that had been lodged in its beams, walls or pillars. The digital object, like the spirit or the soul (the stark, purified) of culture and knowledge.
Information in its purest form, everywhere at the same time: message, message in a medium that, far from anchoring, rockets it.
Without fear, without intermediaries, without curators or interpositions.
That’s what the digital era, technology allow.
It degrades the material and the capital to a mere organism maintenance,
To feeding, management/administration and transport functions.
To a second or third order or degree of hierarchy.
To a place it missed.

Berries may be crushed, added whole to food as a flavoring/preservative, steeped in boiling water to make a tea or infusion, or eaten fresh or dried.
Often burned to help purify the air. I put some in a very small cast iron pan and put the heat on low for a few minutes. It puts out a wonderful cleansing scent. Or I make a mixture of dried cedar greens, sage and sweet grass to use as a aromatic smudge.
Best viewed *Large* to see the dew drop web.
Cedar berries are gathered by Navajos to make Cedar Ghost Bead necklaces. The lore around ghost beads is that they protect you from ghosts and bad spirits.

Varanasi
SERIE INDIA
Es una de las ciudades más antiguas del mundo y la más venerada por los hindúes, el lugar en cuyo río, el Ganges, se esparcen las cenizas de aquellos que acaban de morir, en la creencia de que las aguas sagradas de la Diosa Ganga los liberarán del eterno ciclo de la muerte y la reencarnación. Varanasi es, además, el último refugio de los abandonados, de los olvidados por todos, como los miles de viudas que vestidas de blanco recorren silenciosamente sus callejuelas, esperando a que la muerte las libere de su pesada carga.
Los arqueólogos creen que Varanasi, también conocida como Benarés, tiene mas de 4000 años de antigüedad, lo que la pone como una de las ciudades mas antiguas del mundo. Los hinduistas la consideran como una de las principales ciudades de peregrinación. Se le considera como una ciudad santa pues se cree que una de las cuatro cabezas del dios Brahma consiguió descansar al llegar a esta ciudad.
Según la religión hindú, toda persona que muera en Varanasi o a 60 kilómetros a la redonda queda liberado del ciclo de las reencarnaciones. Es por ellos que muchos ancianos y gente desahuciada llega a Varanasi, simplemente, a esperar la muerte. Existen ONGs que tienen casas para albergar a estas personas, pero no se dan abasto.
El hinduismo considera los baños en el río Ganges purificadores de los pecados, es por ello que cada madrugada miles de fieles llegan al pie del Ganges a bañarse en sus aguas sin importar el alto grado de contaminación en el que se encuentran. En Varanasi todo lo echan al Ganges, basura, desagüe, cuerpos cremados y hasta cadáveres enteros; una verdadera locura. Según la tradición todo hinduista debe bañarse en las aguas del Ganges por lo menos una vez en su vida.

Varanasi
INDIA SERIES
It is one of the oldest cities in the world and the most revered by the Hindus, the place in whose river, the Ganges, sprinkle the ashes of those who have just died, believing that the sacred waters of the Goddess Ganga Free from the eternal cycle of death and reincarnation. Varanasi is also the last refuge of the abandoned, forgotten by all, like the thousands of widows dressed in white silently walk their alleys, waiting for death to release them from their heavy burden.
Archaeologists believe that Varanasi, also known as Varanasi, is more than 4000 years old, which makes it one of the oldest cities in the world. Hinduism is considered one of the principal cities of pilgrimage. It is considered as a holy city because it is believed that one of the four heads of the god Brahma was able to rest when arriving at this city.
According to the Hindu religion, any person who dies in Varanasi or 60 kilometers around is freed from the cycle of reincarnations. It is for them that many old men and evicted people come to Varanasi simply to await death. There are NGOs that have houses to house these people, but they do not give in.
Hinduism considers baths in the Ganges River purifiers of sins, which is why every dawn thousands of faithful come to the foot of the Ganges to bathe in their waters regardless of the high degree of pollution in which they are. In Varanasi everything is thrown into the Ganges, garbage, drainage, cremated bodies and even whole corpses; A real madness. According to tradition every Hindu must bathe in the waters of the Ganges at least once in his life.

With the dust that accumulates in our homes over the winter from our heating systems it can make you feel dry, sore and stuffy in the nose. And, when you have an allergy to dust it can be even worse. Today I decided to purify the air in this area. I got this today and I'm hoping it will help keep some of that dust down too! This has an Ultra-Hepa Filter and a Carbon Filter.
Of (almost) the three decades I've lived so far, last two decades were adventurous to say the least - in terms of the diverse personalities I have come across.
A blessed few have an enchanting characteristics - they can light up the mood wherever they present themselves - somewhat similar to what the first bloom of spring brings to a person's mind.
You - my friends - are treasures to the universe. Sincere well wishes to all of you - the lightbringers!

The river Ganga (Ganges) which originates in the Gangotri glacier in the snow clad high Himalayas, descends down the mountains, reaches the plains, flows through ancient pilgrimage sites, and drains into the Bay of Bengal. A dip in the ocean, where the Ganga meets the sea is considered to be of great religious significance particularly on the Makara Sankranti day (January 14/15), when the sun makes a transition to Capricorn from Sagittarius. Almost a million of Hindu devotees from all over India gather at Gangasagar for a holy dip and perform rituals and prayer (puja) with a belief that it will cleanse and purify their souls.
Ganga Sagar - pain, bliss and sanctification
The Ganga Sagar Mela continues to throb with life, with the energy of millions of pilgrims. The pilgrimage may be extremely tough, but the pilgrims know that the visit will purify their souls. The visit fulfils their lifelong desire and often one can see tears of joy rolling down their cheeks. That is the magic of religion!

I was invited to spend two days at Europe’s most comprehensive IoT Event. This leading forum focused on case studies that show today’s Industry and Enterprises leveraging IoT technologies to transform their business through creating value and efficiencies.
The Internet of things (stylised Internet of Things or IoT) is the internetworking of physical devices, vehicles (also referred to as "connected devices" and "smart devices"), buildings and other items—embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity that enable these objects to collect and exchange data.
"Things," in the IoT sense, can refer to a wide variety of devices such as heart monitoring implants, biochip transponders on farm animals, electric clams in coastal waters,[16] automobiles with built-in sensors, DNA analysis devices for environmental/food/pathogen monitoring or field operation devices that assist firefighters in search and rescue operations.[18] Legal scholars suggest to look at "Things" as an "inextricable mixture of hardware, software, data and service". These devices collect useful data with the help of various existing technologies and then autonomously flow the data between other devices. Current market examples include home automation (also known as smart home devices) such as the control and automation of lighting, heating (like smart thermostat), ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and appliances such as washer/dryers, robotic vacuums, air purifiers, ovens or refrigerators/freezers that use Wi-Fi for remote monitoring.
Aarti, also spelled arathi, aarthi is a Hindu religious ritual of worship, a part of puja, in which light from wicks soaked in ghee (purified butter) or camphor is offered to one or more deities. Aartis also refer to the songs sung in praise of the deity, when lamps are being offered (from Wikipedia).
