Beverley Minster, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire by Jelltex

I posed the question the night before, that I wondered if the bells of the Minster would chime all night, and so would they be made silent after, say, eleven? I can now reveal that the bells did chime all night. I would like to say it was kind of re-assuring, but the ringing, not only of the hours but an attractive peal before the hours were chimed, was loud, loud enough to wake me from my slumber on a few occasions.

We arranged to meet Bradey at eight for breakfast, and in an unusual move we had to exit the guesthouse and go in the front door for the breakfast room. It worked, and soon we were tucking into toast, cereal and a huge cup of coffee or two.

Before breakfast, Jools and I walked round the monster, and saw that it opened at nine, so we hoped to load the car and be at the doors at the final stroke of nine so we could hit toe road as soon as we, or rather, I had my shots.

And this is what happened. The car loaded, we walked to the monster to find the door unlocked, but the church deserted. So, I rushed round getting my shots, it is always wonderful to have a building to oneself, but one as grand and as special as Beverley Minster was a rare treat.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Beverley Minster, in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, is a parish church in the Church of England. It is one of the largest parish churches in the UK, larger than one third of all English cathedrals and regarded as a gothic masterpiece by many.

Originally a collegiate church, it was not selected as a bishop's seat during the Dissolution of the Monasteries; nevertheless it survived as a parish church and the chapter house was the only major part of the building to be lost. It is part of the Greater Churches Group and a Grade I listed building.[1] Every year it hosts events in association with local schools. Including the Beverley Minster Primary School Nativity Performance and the Beverley Grammar School Speech Night.

The minster owes its origin and much of its subsequent importance to Saint John of Beverley, who founded a monastery locally around 700 AD and whose bones still lie beneath a plaque in the nave. The institution grew after his death and underwent several rebuildings. After a serious fire in 1188, the subsequent reconstruction was overambitious; the newly heightened central tower collapsed c. 1213 bringing down much of the surrounding church. Work on the present structure began around 1220.

It took 200 years to complete building work but, despite the time scale involved, the whole building has coherent form and detail and is regarded[who?] as one of the finest examples of Perpendicular design, the twin towers of the west front being a superlative example. These formed the inspiration for the design of the present Westminster Abbey.

Saint Thomas Becket of Canterbury, (c. 1118–29 December 1170) was named Provost of Beverley in 1154.

Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland (1449–1489), was buried in the church after being murdered by the citizens of York in 1489 during the Yorkshire Rebellion over high taxes imposed by King Henry VII.

As with many English churches during the wars of religion in the 16th century, Beverley Minster was not immune to dissension. Church authorities cracked down hard on those they felt were part of the "Popish" conspiracy contrary to Royal decrees. "Among those holding traditional beliefs were three of the clergy at the minster, who were charged with Popish practices in 1567; John Levet was a former member of the college and Richard Levet was presumably his brother. Both Levetts were suspended from the priesthood for keeping prohibited equipment and books and when restored were ordered not to minister in Beverley or its neighbourhood."[2]

In the 18th century the present central tower replaced an original lantern tower that was in danger of collapse. This central tower now houses the largest surviving treadwheel crane in England, which is used when raising building materials to a workshop located in the roof. A distinctive feature of both the north and south transepts is the presence of rose windows, and a White Rose of York, with ten equal parts. Daily tours to the crane and rose windows are available to the general public, subject to other church commitments.

Features of the interior include columns of Purbeck Marble, stiff-leaf carving and the tomb of Lady Eleanor Percy, dating from around 1340 and covered with a richly-decorated canopy, regarded[who?] as one of the best surviving examples of Gothic art. A total of 68 16th century misericords are located in the quire of the minster and nearby is a sanctuary or frith stool dating back to Anglo-Saxon times.

The misericords were probably carved by the Ripon school of carvers and bear a strong family resemblance to those at Manchester Cathedral and Ripon Cathedral.

The church contains one of the few remaining Frith Stools (also known as Frid Stools, meaning "peace chairs") in England. Anyone wanting to claim sanctuary from the law would sit in the chair. The chair dates from Saxon times before 1066.[3][4][5][6]

The organ is mounted above a richly carved wooden screen dating from the late 19th century. There is a staircase in the north aisle which would have been used in collegiate times to gain access from and to the chapter house.

Improvements to the choir were made during the 16th and 18th centuries and medieval glass, which was shattered by a storm in 1608, was meticulously collected and installed in the East Window in 1725. The Thornton family, great craftsmen of the early 18th century, were responsible for the font cover and the west door. Another notable feature is the series of carvings of musicians which adorn the nave.

Beverley Minster is the Parish Church of St. John and St. Martin

John, bishop of York, founded a monastery on the site where Beverley Minster stands.

John died in 721 and his body was buried in a chapel of the Saxon church.

He was canonised in 1037.

The present church was built around his tomb.

Building work began in 1220 and was completed in 1425.

Throughout the Middle Ages miracles which took place at his tomb attracted pilgrims from far and wide.

Today the church is still a place of pilgrimage for visitors. It also continues to be a place of prayer and worship at the heart of the community.

BACONFOY-TENNEVILLE (6970).CHU centre Hospitalier de Ste Ode by Mémoire 2Cite

twitter.com/Memoire2cite les 30 glorieuses . com & l'Architecture Hospitalière centre hospitalier universitaire ou pas Les hôpitaux modernes sont conçus pour minimiser les efforts du personnel médical et réduire les risques de contamination, tout en optimisant l’efficacité du système dans son ensemble. La longueur des déplacements du personnel au sein de l’hôpital est réduite et le transport des patients d’une unité à une autre facilité. Le bâtiment doit intégrer des départements lourds, comme la radiologie et les blocs opératoires, tout en prenant en compte d’importantes spécificités en termes de raccordements électriques, de plomberie, et de gestion des déchets.Cependant, on remarque que les hôpitaux « modernes » sont souvent le produit d’une croissance qui s’étale sur des décennies ou même des siècles, fréquemment mal contrôlée. Cette croissance a entraîné des ajouts successifs, nécessaires mais désorganisés, en fonction des besoins et des ressources financières.Cor Wagenar, historien en architecture néerlandais, considère que de nombreux hôpitaux sont des catastrophes, des institutions anonymes et complexes où règne la bureaucratie et totalement inadaptées à la fonction pour laquelle elles ont été créées. Elles ne sont généralement pas fonctionnelles, et au lieu de mettre les patients à l’aise, elles créent du stress et de l’anxiété.Certains hôpitaux, plus récents, tentent de retrouver des architectures prenant en compte la psychologie des patients, comme une meilleure aération, des vues plus dégagées ou encore des couleurs plus agréables à l’œil. On renoue avec les concepts anciens du « bon air » et des « pouvoirs guérisseurs de la nature » qui furent employés lors du développement des hôpitaux pavillonnaires. Des études menées par la British Medical Association ont montré qu’une bonne architecture hospitalière peut réduire la période de guérison des patients. L’exposition au soleil aide à lutter contre la dépression ; des chambres non-mixtes permettent plus d’intimité et favorisent une certaine dignité des malades ; la présence d’espaces verts et de jardins est également importante : regarder par la fenêtre améliore l’humeur des patients, diminue leur tension et leur niveau de stress. La disparition des longs couloirs réduit la fatigue et le stress des infirmières.Autre mutation actuelle notable la migration d’un système de chambres communes divisées par des cloisons amovibles vers un système de chambres individuelles. Le système de chambres aménageables est considéré comme très efficace, surtout par le personnel médical, mais il est beaucoup plus stressant pour les patients et nuit à leur intimité. Mais demeure la contrainte importante du coût de ces chambres et de leur maintenance, ce qui pousse certains hôpitaux à tarifier plus cher pour des chambres individuelles. www.citedelarchitecture.fr/fr/video/architecture-hospital... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pB9GEZI-Fg 15. Architecture hospitalière de la fin du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours

Pierre-Louis Laget, conservateur du patrimoine, chercheur dans le service de l'Inventaire général de la région Nord-Pas-de-CalaisDans le contexte du vaste mouvement de réflexion portant sur l'architecture et l'hygiène hospitalière qui prit naissance à la suite de l'incendie de l'Hotel-Dieu de Paris en 1772, fut élaboré un nouveau parti architectural, appelé bientôt système pavillonnaire, consistant à scinder un établissement hospitalier en une série de bâtiments indépendants, reliés ou non par des galeries de services aériennes ou encore souterraines. « Dans les années 1950, le biologiste et médecin américain Jonas Salk (1914-1995)

cherchait un traitement contre la poliomyélite dans un sombre laboratoire d’un soussol de Pittsburgh. Les progrès étaient lents, et, pour s’aérer l’esprit, Salk fit un voyage à

Assise, en Italie, où il visita la basilique Saint-François d’Assise datant du XIII e siècle,

se promenant entre les colonnes et dans les jardins des cloîtres. Là, de nouvelles idées

surgirent dans son esprit, dont celle qui finit par le conduire à un vaccin efficace contre

la poliomyélite, en 1955. Le chercheur devint convaincu que l’environnement d’un

bâtiment peut influer sur l’esprit. Dans les années 1960, il s’associa à l’architecte Louis

Kahn (1901-1974) pour construire l’Institut Salk à La Jolla, près de San Diego en

Californie : cela devait être un établissement de recherche capable de stimuler la

créativité des scientifiques. Salk redécouvrait ainsi ce dont les architectes ont l’intuition

de longue date : les endroits que nous habitons peuvent agir sur nos pensées, nos

sentiments et nos comportements. Depuis plusieurs années, les spécialistes du

comportement apportent des arguments empiriques en ce sens. Leurs recherches

suggèrent qu’il est possible de concevoir les espaces de vie qui favorisent la créativité,

l’attention et la vigilance, ou la relaxation et la convivialité ». (Cerveau & Psycho,

2009, n° 33, p. 30). La lecture de ce début d’un article intitulé « Comment l’architecture

influence notre pensée » dans la revue Cerveau & Psycho a fortement résonné en moi

au moment où je construisais le projet du présent mémoire dans la mesure où cela faisait

écho à des intuitions que j’avais forgées comme patient et que je souhaitais interroger

en tant que futur architecte. Cela a été un des éléments qui m’ont décidé à travailler sur

l’architecture des bâtiments de santé sous l’angle de la perception qu’en ont les usagers.Plus que pour d’autres bâtiments, la construction d’un hôpital s’avère extrêmement

contrainte par un programme d’une grande complexité fixé en amont et avec lequel

l’architecte doit composer tout comme avec le site et les règles, elles aussi très

contraignantes, de la composition architecturale. Il s’appuie aussi, pour avancer dans

son projet, sur les besoins sociaux dont il a la connaissance ou l’intuition. Ainsi Pierre

Riboulet (1994), dans le journal qu’il tient de sa réflexion de cinq mois (de mai à

octobre 1980) sur le projet du grand hôpital pédiatrique Robert Debré, note, dès les

premiers jours, les 13 et 17 mai: « Que les enfants entrent là comme dans un lieu

familier, un lieu dont ils aient l’habitude » et, inventoriant « les lieux que pratiquent les

enfants dans les villes », (« des endroits où l’on peut courir, où il n’y a pas de

voitures », « des endroits qui ne font pas mal, où il y a les copains et les copines, où l’on

peut rigoler »), il conclut : « Il faudrait entrer dans l’hôpital comme on passe dans une

rue, une galerie où il y beaucoup de choses à regarder, où l’on peut aller et venir sans

obligation, courir et rêver. » De cela découle un bâtiment dont il affirme « qu’il ne faut

pas faire là un édifice » et qu’il cherche à rendre, avec le succès que l’on sait, le moins

intimidant possible pour des enfants.

Il s’avère qu’en plus de son intuition certaines recherches peuvent aussi renseigner

l’architecte et le programmiste sur les besoins fondamentaux des patients. Menées en

psychologie environnementale (Moser, 2009) ou en géographie de la santé (Gesler,

2003), elles ont mis en exergue différents facteurs contribuant au bien-être comme

constitutif de la santé dans la définition que donne l’OMS de cette dernière dans la

constitution de 1946 et qui fait toujours référence : « La santé est un état de complet

bien-être physique, mental et social et ne consiste pas seulement en une absence de

maladie et d’infirmité. ». Ces recherches incitent à prendre en compte, dans la

conception et dans l’évaluation d’un bâtiment de santé, la relation qu’établissent avec

ce bâtiment les usagers, et en particulier les patients. Il ne s’agit évidemment pas là d’un

élément tout à fait nouveau et une relation a sans doute été établie, de longue date, entre

la qualité d’un bâtiment de santé ou d’un lieu thérapeutique et le bien-être apporté au

patient. L’intérêt des recherches évoquées ci-dessus est, en affirmant avec force que « le

soin et le lieu sont inséparables » (Gessler, 2003) de tenter de trouver des critères

objectifs susceptibles d’expliquer la dimension « thérapeutique » d’un lieu de santé.C’est sur cette dimension que porte le présent mémoire qui étudie un service de Soins

de Suites et de Réadaptation (S.S.R), en l’occurrence celui de l’Hôpital Rothschild, à

Paris, dans lequel j’ai été invité en immersion du 28 mai au 7 juin 2013. L’objectif est

de comprendre et décrire la manière dont les différents usagers de ce SSR vivent le lieu

dans lequel ils exercent leur métier ou sont hospitalisés, quelle importance ils lui

accordent et sur quels points. Au plan architectural et programmatique, mon hypothèse

est que ce détour par les usagers et leur relation au lieu peut venir alimenter le cahier

des charges d’un bâtiment de santé en prenant appui non sur les seules intuitions mais

sur des éléments récurrents dans le discours des usagers.

Dans une première partie, je pose les bases théoriques qui permettent de penser cette

question et présente, en seconde partie, les choix méthodologiques effectués. Les

principaux résultats, présentés en troisième partie, m’amènent à une conclusion dans

laquelle j’envisage les éléments programmatiques qui découlent de mon enquête pour un bâtiment de santé et les pistes de réflexion ouvertes. ---- Comment est-on passé de la salle commune à la chambre individuelle ?

Comment l’hôpital, d’abord hospice, est devenu établissement de soins ?

Quelle est l’histoire des maternités, des lazarets, des asiles d’aliénés ? Autant

de réponses à découvrir dans le voyage architectural à travers toute la France

auquel invite ce bel ouvrage illustré de 592 pages, qui retrace l’histoire de

l’hôpital et de son architecture en France du Moyen-Âge à nos jours.

Jusqu’au siècle des Lumières, l’hôpital, lieu de charité chrétienne et d’exclusion

sociale, est aussi le premier outil d’une politique sanitaire balbutiante. L’incendie

de l’hôtel-Dieu de Paris, en 1772, est le catalyseur d’une double réflexion sur

la prise en charge des démunis et sur les réponses architecturales accordées

à une première médicalisation de l’hôpital. Ainsi architectes et médecins

poursuivent tout au long du XIXe

siècle la même chimère : une architecture en

mesure de soigner le corps et l’esprit. L’hygiénisme impose alors durablement

le plan en « double peigne » puis le système du pavillon isolé tandis que

les découvertes de Pasteur tardent à faire valoir leur logique. Inversement,

dans l’Entre-deux-guerres, ce sont les données économiques, sociales et

architecturales qui précèdent la révolution de l’antibiothérapie pour donner

naissance à l’hôpital-bloc. Les Trente Glorieuses appliquent à l’institution leur

politique centralisatrice, prescriptrice de modèles fonctionnels. Aujourd’hui,

les maîtres mots sont désormais humanisation et insertion urbaine.

Explorer l’histoire des hôpitaux en France revient à cheminer auprès du

pèlerin, de l’indigent, du marginal, du déviant, du fou, de l’enfant abandonné,

du vieillard, de l’infirme, du malade, aujourd’hui du patient. C’est surtout

découvrir, présents dans toutes nos villes, des bâtiments d’exception. L’histoire de l’hôpital est à tout à fait exemplaire de ces glissements progressifs, presque

insensibles quand on travaille sur une période courte, mais spectaculaires quand on prend

le sujet dans toute son ampleur : de la salle médiévale, qui n’offre qu’un abri, et un abri

dangereux, aux machines à guérir ultra-spécialisées d’aujourd’hui, dont les programmes

fournis par les maîtres d’ouvrage aux architectes comptent plusieurs centaines, voire

plusieurs milliers de pages.

On pourra donc faire une double lecture de ce livre : on y trouvera une histoire complète

et détaillée sur la longue durée et jusqu’au temps présent de l’hôpital en France, mais

aussi une très belle illustration de méthode. La clé de l’architecture est sans doute du

côté de la construction et sa poésie du côté des ornements, mais les causes profondes de

son évolution se trouvent d’abord du côté des programmes et de ce qui les conditionne

(mœurs, usages, mentalités, société, etc.).

Les auteurs de ce très bel ouvrage de synthèse sur les hôpitaux français n’ont pas organisé leur matière en fonction de l’histoire des styles, mais bien en fonction des causes

profondes de l’évolution des hôpitaux, c’est-à-dire en fonction d’une conception très

large de la médecine, incluant les connaissances vraies ou fausses sur la transmission

des maladies, mais aussi en fonction de la législation sur la santé publique. Ils rendent

donc lumineux ce lent processus, avec ses moments de basculements et de brusques

accélérations, qui remodèle leur objet. Ils n’en négligent pas pour autant les autres

facettes, des structures constructives aux styles et aux ornements. L’illustration, toujours judicieuse, offre à cet égard un tableau historique fascinant qui permet soit de

descendre dans le fil du temps, soit d’y remonter, soit encore de faire de magnifiques

arrêts sur image. Ces bâtiments en effet portent en eux des leçons d’architecture : ils

montrent que celle-ci, lorsqu’elle est belle, a pu et peut encore apporter aux cœurs des

hommes une joie ou une sérénité, lesquelles peuvent aussi contribuer à la guérison.

Au moment où le patrimoine hospitalier français connaît un bouleversement profond, à

la fois par l’émergence de toute une génération de nouveaux hôpitaux (où l’excellence

médicale n’est pas toujours au rendez-vous, tant les problèmes sont devenus complexes), et par la désaffectation de nombreux hôpitaux anciens, qui paraissent obsolètes,

ce qui conduit parfois à leur disparition et trop rarement à leur réhabilitation, il paraît

bien utile de revenir sur cette histoire. Or les auteurs de ce livre nous offrent une lecture profondément renouvelée par un recours systématique aux archives, manuscrites

ou imprimées, et clairement structurée par cette attention aux causes profondes de

ces mutations, dont la dernière se produit sous nos yeux.

Je ne minore pas le rôle de Google Maps, révolution cartographique sans précédent et sans égale, qui aura réalisé nos fantasmes d’Aleph borgesien — l’idée d’un point d’où le monde serait visible en totalité — parachevé Mercator et permis d’explorer des parties du globe inconnues de Cook, Bougainville et Amundsen. Je n’oublie pas non plus cet exercice de cartographie au collège, qui nous avait démontré que nous étions à 3 cartes IGN de la capitale, et que le tissu urbain était de plus en plus serré à mesure que nous avancions vers le nord. Mais Plan possédait une fonctionnalité inédite, le Flyover, technologie à l’origine destinée aux pilotes de chasse, et qui fournissait des rendus 3D spectaculaire des bâtiments survolés — ainsi que des arbres et des déclivités du sol.

On quittait enfin les champs asphyxiants de la photographie aérienne pour des vues à l’oblique des villes visitées : après un siècle d’écrasement — la photographie aérienne est étroitement contemporaine du bombardement aérien — les villes reprenaient enfin de la vigueur et remontaient vers le ciel. J’avais d’ailleurs effectué moi-même une manœuvre de redressement similaire le jour où j’étais parti, à pied depuis Paris, visiter à Nanterre une exposition sur la photographie aérienne. J’étais à la quête des premières vues de Paris qu’avait prises Nadar depuis un ballon captif. À défaut de ces images, définitivement manquantes, j’avais parcouru, après la Grande Arche, les derniers kilomètres de la Voie Royale, cette prodigieuse perspective historique partie du Louvre — rare exemple de frise chronologique implémentée dans une structure urbanistique.

J’avais en réalité un peu dévié de la ligne droite pour aller voir les tours Nuages d’Emile Aillaud, le Facteur Cheval du modernisme, dont je connaissais déjà les autres chefs d’œuvres d'architecture naïve, les nouilles chinoises de Grigny et le spaghetti de Pantin.

C’était précisément l’usage que j’avais fait de l’application Plans : j’étais parti à la recherche de tous les groupements de tour qu’elle m’avait permis d’identifier, sur mon iPad. Je les faisais tourner avec deux doigts, comme un éclaireur qui marcherait autour d’un donjon, avant de les immortaliser, sous leur plus bel angle, par une capture d’écran.Un éclaireur autour d’un donjon : c’était exactement cela, qui m’avait fasciné. Les guerres territoriales entre Les Tarterêts de Corbeil et les Pyramides d’Evry avaient marqué mon enfance. La notion de cité, telle qu’elle avait été définie, à partir des années 80, dans le second âge des grands ensembles, l’âge du déclin, avait conservé un cachet médiéval. Ici, vivaient guetteurs et trafiquants, condottieres à la tête d’une écurie de go-fast et entretenant des chenils remplis de mâtins rares et dangereux. Ici, l’État central ne remplissait plus ses tâches régaliennes, ici la modernité laïque était entrée en crise. Mais ce que j’avais découvert, en collectionnant ces captures d’écran, c’était à quel point l’urbanisme de la banlieue parisienne était, strictement, d’obédience médiévale. On était passé, d’un seul mouvement et sans même s’en rendre compte de Château-Gaillard à la Cité 4000, du Donjon de Vincennes aux tours de Sarcelles, du château de Gisors aux choux fleurs de Créteil.J’ai même retrouvé la colonne détruite du désert de Retz dans le babylonien château d’eau de Noisiel.

Des hauteurs de Rosny à celle de Chanteloup, du plateau de Clichy à la dalle d’Argenteuil, on avait bizarrement livré des pastiches inconscients de la grande architecture militaire médiévales : les environs de Paris s’étaient retrouvés à nouveau fortifiés, la vieille tour de Montlhéry n’était plus solitaire, et même les immeubles de briques rouges qui avaient succédé à l’enceinte de Thiers évoquaient des murailles.

Et ce que j’avais initialement pris pour des anomalies, des accidents malheureux du post-modernisme, les grand ensembles voûtés et cannelés de Ricardo Boffil, étaient peut-être ce qui exprimait le mieux tout cela — ou du moins qui clôturaient avec le génie le plus clair cet âge des grands ensembles.

Car c’était cela, ces Carcassonnes, ces Acropoles, ces Atlandides qui surnageaient avec le plus de conviction au milieu des captures d’écrans de ruines médiévales qui s’accumulaient sur mon bureau.

Si décriées, dès leur construction, pour leur kitch intolérable ces mégastructures me sont soudain apparues comme absolument nécessaires.

Si les Villes Nouvelles n’ont jamais existé, et persisteront dans la mémoire des hommes, elles le doivent à ces rêveries bizarres et grandioses, à ces hybridations impossibles entre les cités idéales de Ledoux et les utopies corbuséennes.

L’Aqueduc de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, les Espaces d’Abraxas à Marne-la-Vallée, les Colonnes de Saint-Christophe à Cergy-Pontoise sont les plus belles ruines du Grand Paris.

www.franceculture.fr/emissions/la-conclusion/ricardo-bofill immerssion dans le monde du logement social, l'univers des logements sociaux, des H.B.M au H.L.M - Retour sur l'histoire du logement collectif d'apres guerre - En Françe, sur l’ensemble du territoire avant, 4 millions d’immeubles étaient vétustes, dont 500.000 à démolir; au total 10% des logements étaient considérés comme insalubres et 40% réputés d’une qualité médiocre, et surpeuplés. C’est pour ces raisons que, à partir de 1954, le Ministre à la Reconstruction et au Logement évalue le besoin en logements à 2.000.660, devenant ainsi une priorité nationale. Quelques années plus tard à l’appel de l’Abbé Pierre, le journaliste Gilbert Mathieu, en avril 1957 publiait dans le quotidien Le Monde une série d’articles sur la situation dramatique du logement : Logement, notre honte et dénonçant le nombre réduit de logements et leur impitoyable état. Robert Doisneau, Banlieue après-guerre, 1943-1949 /Le mandat se veut triple : reconstruire le parc immobilier détruit durant les bombardements essentiellement du printemps/été 1944, faire face à l’essor démographique et enfin résorber l’habitat insalubre notamment les bidonvilles et les cités de transit. Une ambition qui paraît, dès le début, très élevée, associée à l’industrialisation progressive de la nation entre autre celle du secteur de la construction (voir le vidéo de l’INA du 17 juillet 1957 intitulée La crise du logement, un problème national. Cela dit, l’effort pour l’État français était d’une ampleur jamais vue ailleurs. La double nécessité de construire davantage et vite, est en partie la cause de la forme architecturale excentrique qui constituera les Grands Ensembles dans les banlieues françaises. Cinq caractéristiques permettent de mieux comprendre ce terme : la rupture avec le tissu urbain ancien, un minimum de mille logements, une forme collective (tours, barres) de quatre jusqu’à vingt niveaux, la conception d’appartements aménagés et équipés et enfin une gestion destinée pour la plupart à des bailleurs de logement social.

Pour la banlieue parisienne leur localisation s’est opérée majoritairement dans la périphérie, tandis que dans les autres cas, plus de la moitié a été construite dans le centre ville, le plus souvent à la limite des anciens faubourgs.

Architecture d’Aujourd’hui n° 46, 1953 p. 58-55

C’est le triomphe de l’urbanisme fonctionnel et rationaliste cher à Le Corbusier. Entre 1958 et 1973, cent quatre-vingt-quinze Zones à Urbaniser en Priorité (ZUP) sont créées, comprenant deux millions de logements, essentiellement de type populaire en Habitations à Loyer Modéré (HLM), mais pas exclusivement, remplaçant ainsi les anciennes Habitations à Bon Marché (HBM) crées en 1894. Selon le décret du 27 mars 1954 qui en fixe les conditions d’attribution, les bénéficiaires de la législation n’ont pas changé, ce sont toujours des « personnes peu fortunées vivant principalement de leur salaire », selon la loi Strauss de 1906. En 1953, tous les HLM voient leur surface maximale se réduire, en passant de 71 à 65 mètres carrés pour un quatre pièces. L’accès au logement des familles modestes se fera donc au détriment de la qualité et quantité de l’espace habité pour des familles nombreuses. À ce propos, le sociologue Thierry Oblet a bien montré comment se sont articulées les pensées des architectes et des ingénieurs modernistes, avec leur souci planificateur d’un État interventionniste[8] grâce à l’hégémonie du béton, de la ligne droite et de la standardisation de la construction.

Les exemples de cette architecture restent nombreux : de la Cité de 4000 (pour 4000 logements) à la Courneuve en Seine-Saint-Denis (93) aux logements de 15 étages aux balcons pétales, appelés « Chou-fleur » à Créteil en Val-de Marne (94) dessinés au début des années 70 par l’architecte Gérard Grandval. De la Cité des nuages à Nanterre dans les Hauts-de-Seine (92) à la Grande borne construite entre 1967 et 1971 sur le territoire des communes de Grigny et Viry-Châtillon, dans l’Essonne (91) en passant par la Noé à Chanteloup-les-Vignes dans le département des Yvelines (78) scénario du célèbre film La Haine[9] de Kassovits.

Récemment, plusieurs expositions photographiques se sont

concentrées sur cette nouvelle figure de l’urbanisme fonctionnaliste français de l’après-guerre. Par exemple Toit&Moi, 100 ans de logement social (2012), Les Grands ensembles 1960-2010 (2012) produite par l’école supérieure d’arts & médias de Caen/Cherbourg, selon un projet du Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication. Enfin l’exposition Photographie à l’œuvre, (2011-2012) d’Henri Salesse, photographe du service de l’inventaire du Ministère de la Reconstruction et de l’Urbanisme et Voyage en périphérie (2012) de Cyrus Cornut.

Il s’agissait là non seulement d’un progrès matériel, mais aussi démocratique, donnant ainsi à chaque citoyen, la possibilité d’accéder à son petit appartement doté de tous les conforts de l’époque. La recherche d’économie et de rapidité dans la conduite des chantiers portent à l’utilisation du béton comme matériel privilégié et à des plans architecturaux aussi simples que possible avec la réalisation de logements standardisés, dont les barres et les tours deviennent les figures principales : Au mitan des années cinquante, apparurent d’étranges formes urbaines. Des immeubles d’habitation de plus en plus longs et de plus en plus hauts, assemblés en blocs qui ne s’intégraient pas aux villes existantes. Ces blocs s’en différenciaient ostensiblement et parfois comme systématiquement, s’en isolaient. Ils semblaient faire ville à part. Surtout ils ne ressemblaient pas à ce qu’on avait l’habitude d’appeler ville. Et leur architecture aussi, qui était tellement déroutante. On les a nommés » grands ensembles. Cité de l’Abreuvoir, Bobigny (93), 2003 (Inventaire général du Patrimoine, Région Ile de France / Stéphane Asseline)

Bref, entre 1946 et 1975 le parc immobilier français passe de 12,7 millions à 21 millions de logements. Environ 8 millions de ceux-ci sont neufs, construits entre 1953-1975 – dont la moitié sous forme de grands ensembles – et près de 80 % des logements grâce à une aide de l’État avec des crédits publics. Le nombre de logements sociaux passe de moins de 500.000 à près de 3 millions, dont 43 % en région parisienne, où la demande est la plus forte[11]. Ce qui témoigne d’un effort énorme. Secrétariat d’État à la Reconstruction et au Logement, Supplément du logement en 1954, cité par Bachmann, C. Le Guennec, N., Violences urbaines…Op.cit, p.24. Alors que l’hiver 1954 est particulièrement rigoureux, l’abbé Pierre lance un appel en faveur des sans-logis et déshérités et organise des collectes de vêtements et de nourriture pour les plus démunis. Cela nous rappelle également que les inégalités sociales restaient particulièrement importantes à l’époque, malgré les débuts de la croissance économique, et que la crise du logement n’était pas encore complètement résolue. Danièle Voldman, La reconstruction des villes françaises de 1940 à 1954 : histoire d’une politique, Paris, L’Harmattan, 1997. Les Actualités françaises, La crise du logement, un problème national, 17 juillet, 1957, in fresques.ina.fr/…/la-crise-du-logement-un-probleme-n…, consulté le 20/02/2014. C’est l’urbaniste Marcel Rotival dans un numéro d’Architecture d’Aujourd’hui de juin 1935 (vol.1, n°6, juin 1935, p.57) qui propose pour la première fois cette terminologie pour désigner les Habitations à Bon Marché (HBM) et leur transformation en Habitations à Loyer Modéré (HLM), par la loi du 21 juillet 1951: « Nous espérons, un jour, sortir des villes comme Paris, non seulement par l’avenue des Champs Elysées, la seule réalisation de tenue sans laquelle Paris n’existerait pas, mais sortir par Belleville, par Charonne, par Bobigny, etc., et trouver harmonieusement disposés le long de larges autostrades, au milieu de grands espaces boisés, de parcs, de stades, de grandes cités claires, bien orientées, lumineusement éclairées par le soleil. » Largement reprise depuis les années 1950 dans le jargon administratif et public, elle apparaît pour la première fois dans un texte officiel qu’en 1973 avec la Circulaire Guichard, alors Ministre de l’Aménagement du territoire, de l’Equipement, du Logement et du tourisme. Celui-ci met un terme à la politique initiée après-guerre afin « d’empêcher la réalisation des formes d’urbanisation désignées généralement sous le nom de “grands ensembles”, peu conforme aux aspirations des habitants et sans justification économique sérieuse ». Paradoxalement, le terme de grands ensembles s’officialise donc au moment même où ils son mis en question. ZUP est un acronyme qui signifie Zone à Urbaniser en Priorité. Elles ont été créées par le décret N°58-1464 du 31 décembre 1958, afin de planifier et d’encadrer sur le territoire national, le développement urbain pour répondre à la carence de logements face à l’accroissement démographique et favoriser enfin la résorption de l’habitat insalubre. Oblet, Thierry, Gouverner la ville. Les voies urbaines de la démocratie moderne, Paris, PUF, 2003. En particulier par l’intermédiaire de la Société centrale de construction et de la Société centrale pour l’équipement du territoire, créées au milieu des années 1950 en tant que filiales de la Caisse des dépôts et consignations.

Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ». Dans un deuxième temps est abordé le chapitre de la construction des cités et des grands ensembles, de l’architecture du renouveau qualifiée de "grandiose incontestablement".

Day 72 - Marmite: Love it or Hate it? by nataliej

5 22

Somehow I've managed to get this far in life without trying Marmite. When asked the question: do you love it or hate it? I've never been able to answer.

Well tonight I decided to fix that.

Armed with the necessary tools, marmite, bread and me, I set about tasting the yeasty goo.

And the verdict?

Yuk! Urgh! That is quite the most vile disgusting thing I've ever tried! Ewwwww!

Seating - Cafe by David Woo

I learned a lot this afternoon from simply asking library staff if I could take some photos in the library. First of all, that no one whom I initially asked knew the answer to my question suggests that not many people take photos in the library, for whatever reason, for which reason the staff did not know whether or not I could take photos. Second, that the more I asked around, the more my question crept quietly up the chain of command, until at length the director of the library was asked, when she walked onto the premises after lunch, suggests that there is a centralized command in the library; in that regard, this institution is not organized in a similar manner to the way by which HKU is organized. Finally, that nobody knew the answer but rather than assume authority deferred to the director's discretion suggests that there are very few change agents, if any at all, in this institution. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, because this organization likely doesn't have to deal with major change at the moment: the best course of action is plodding straight ahead.

Likewise, no one whom I asked knew about the library's renovation cost and the cost of being a donor; but these staff members did point me to someone else who could possibly answer my question!

The lights were off in the men's washroom. It seems as if the washroom isn't used much. Inside the washroom, I noticed the automated sinks, urinals and paper towel dispenser -- that reminded me much of Hong Kong and South Korea; automation has arrived in America! In addition, I enjoyed the hot water flowing from the sinks. That was a pleasant surprise.

What impresses me the most about this library is the seating variety. There are not only many different types of seating furniture, but also many different environments in which these seats are placed: by windows; inside rooms; in seating areas; in corners. In addition, just as there were many different types of furniture looks, so there were, in fact, more broadly, many different, conspicuous areas in the library. They were clearly labeled to boot. In this way, this library shares its best feature with the City University of Hong Kong library: such a variety of learning spaces that surely one would find at least one type conducive toward studying. In this instance, I liked to study at the rectangular table in the cafe area. Many libraries, including the HKU library, could certainly improve its learning space by following the diversity model adopted by both the CityU library and the Livingston library.

What also makes this library conducive toward studying is its underuse. One could find a seat anywhere in the library: no squatting, thankfully. The shelves also seem underutilized. While on an individual basis, this surplus in seating is a boon, this surplus is lamentable for the community since it obviously isn't taking full advantage of this invaluable learning space!

I gushed about the effectiveness of the library's learning space to the staff. Perhaps they were amused that such a mundane environment to them could be so special to me.

Yes, more tracings . . .

It took a while to finish this one (it's from the beginning of September) because I couldn't decide how to best re-illustrate the fish once I'd traced them. I'm learning that it's ok if an entry gets put aside for a week or two until you truly know how to finish it. Too often I rush into finishing something, only to be miffed at my own efforts.

2009 AFC - NFC Pro Bowl Practice Hawaii by kahl4

With a huge red lei around his neck and a wide grin that could have stretched across Oahu, Larry Fitzgerald held up the gleaming, silver MVP trophy. It sparkled in the sunshine as much as his game.

The only problem: It wasn't the Lombardi Trophy.

Fitzgerald caught five passes for 81 yards and two touchdowns, 44-year-old John Carney kicked two fourth-quarter field goals, and the NFC rallied to a 30-21 victory over the AFC. The Arizona Cardinals' All-Pro receiver, coming off a record-breaking postseason and a spectacular Super Bowl in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, earned MVP honors.

But he said the victory over the AFC, which featured three members of the Steelers' defense, didn't ease the pain from the Super Bowl.

"No, not one bit," he said.

Fitzgerald also took home keys to a new Cadillac.

"I'm just glad we won, that's the most important thing," he said.

On a sweltering day, with 60 percent humidity, Kurt Warner started for the NFC and played just one series before making way for Brees. Warner was just 1-of-2 for 8 yards.

"I would've liked to have won last week and not this week, if I could switch them out," he said.

Fitzgerald caught a 46-yard scoring pass from Drew Brees before the half and a 2-yard TD pass from Eli Manning for the go-ahead score with 4:07 to play.

The NFC defense took care of the rest.

Manning, making his Pro Bowl debut, was 8-of-14 for 111 yards. While big brother Peyton had better stats, 12-of-17 for 151 yards and a TD, Eli got the win.

"He didn't play the whole second half, so it's not about beating my brother, it's just about having fun," Eli Manning said.

The Manning brothers were the first quarterback brothers in Pro Bowl history. And Carney, who was a perfect 3-for-3, became the oldest player in the game's history. He booted a 48-yarder with 2:06 remaining to make it 27-21 and sealed the win with a 26-yarder with 32 seconds to go.

Sunday's all-star game ended a successful 30-year run at Aloha Stadium, with a sellout every year. The Pro Bowl will be played in Miami next year, a week before the Super Bowl. The NFL, which has been looking to increase the profile of the game, hopes to bring the game back to Hawaii.

The players, who spent most of the week by the beach and sipping umbrella-adorned mai tais, were pretty unanimous in wanting the game to return.

For Warner, the question now is whether this was his final game in the NFL or, as a free agent, will he opt to continue playing at age 38?

"I don't know right now," Warner said. "Again, when I have a feeling one way or the other, I'll let everyone else know. I don't have a time frame. This is the first time right now that I am done having to think about football for a while, and I'm going to enjoy that part of it, enjoy my wife, enjoy my kids and then we'll make a decision as soon as we can."

The AFC was looking to hula dance into halftime with a comfortable 14-3 cushion after Kerry Collins connected with Owen Daniels on a 9-yard scoring pass with 28 seconds left in the half.

However, that was more than enough the time for the NFC, with all its weapons.

The NFC took over at its 45 with 19 seconds left after a nice kickoff return by Clifton Smith. They ran two plays before Larry Fitzgerald hauled in Brees' 46-yard bomb with fellow All-Pro Cortland Finnegan on his back as time expired to pull the NFC to 14-10.

It made for two huge end-of-the-half plays in consecutive weeks for Fitzgerald. But this time, rather than trying -- and failing -- to chase down James Harrison on his 100-yard interception returned for a TD, Fitzgerald was the one celebrating.

Fitzgerald also beat Finnegan on his second score.

"These guys are such elite players, it doesn't take much time to get in the groove with these players," Fitzgerald said. "These guys were great."

The usual high-scoring affair surprisingly also featured plenty of defense. Despite rules such as no blitzing linebackers and safeties, the quarterbacks were feeling the heat, at times buried by the defensive line. None of the passes had any room for error on throws against the speedy defensive backs.

The AFC had a chance to take the lead late, but Julius Peppers got in the way. Down by six, the AFC started its drive on its 20 with 4:03 remaining and got to midfield. Peppers then swatted a pass by Jay Cutler with his left hand and came up with the interception that led to Carney's 48-yard field goal.

There were three straight drives ending with a turnover in a span of about 2 minutes in the third quarter alone, including two by Collins.

The second led to the NFC's first lead of the game, 17-14, late in the third quarter. Jared Allen stripped Collins from behind and scooped up the bouncing ball at the AFC 10. All-Pro Adrian Peterson, last year's Pro Bowl MVP, finished it off with a 10-yard run.

Pinned on its 4, the AFC came out firing behind the league MVP. Peyton Manning completed passes of 20, 18, 22, 4, and 6 yards to five players before hitting Tony Gonzalez for the score on a high-arcing, 19-yard pass.

Gonzalez easily outmaneuvered Seattle linebacker Julian Peterson before hauling in the pass and tiptoeing into the end zone. Gonzalez, also an All-Pro, finished with six catches for 98 yards.

On the ensuing series, Robert Mathis stripped Brees and gave possession back to the AFC.

Manning then completed a 22-yarder to Colts teammate Reggie Wayne before the NFC finally started playing some defense.

After the AFC reached the NFC's 31, Peppers squashed Manning -- and gave him a hand to get back up. It is, after all, the Pro Bowl.

With a huge red lei around his neck and a wide grin that could have stretched across Oahu, Larry Fitzgerald held up the gleaming, silver MVP trophy. It sparkled in the sunshine as much as his game.

The only problem: It wasn't the Lombardi Trophy.

But he said the victory over the AFC, which featured three members of the Steelers' defense, didn't ease the pain from the Super Bowl.

"No, not one bit," he said.

Fitzgerald also took home keys to a new Cadillac.

"I'm just glad we won, that's the most important thing," he said.

On a sweltering day, with 60 percent humidity, Kurt Warner started for the NFC and played just one series before making way for Brees. Warner was just 1-of-2 for 8 yards.

"I would've liked to have won last week and not this week, if I could switch them out," he said.

Fitzgerald caught a 46-yard scoring pass from Drew Brees before the half and a 2-yard TD pass from Eli Manning for the go-ahead score with 4:07 to play.

The NFC defense took care of the rest.

Navajo veterans used and discarded: 1974 by Washington Area Spark

Frank Issac, of Tonalca, Ariz., answers a question during a news conference July 27, 1974 at the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, Va. called by Navajo veterans of four U.S. wars to protest discriminatory treatment toward Native American veterans.

“We have kept our word, but the United States has not kept its word with Navajo veterans,” said one unidentified vet.

Many spoke of the Navajo code-talkers who of the vital role secure communications played in the island-hopping strategy employed by the Marines in the Pacific during World War II.

“We used our Navajo language backwards,” said Billy Goodman of the Navajo Nation, “in radioing messages in the South Pacific. It was a code the Japanese never did break. That’s ow we won the war for the United States.”

Carson B. Charley, a Navajo who was a “code talker” with the First Marines added, “Some of the radiomen were white guys, but everything they radioed was decoded by the enemy. Somebody finally hit on the idea of letting Navajos transmit in a Navajo language code, all over those little islands around 1943 and 1944. The war soon ended.”

“But I got out in 1946,” said Rev. Allen Yashie Hill, a Navajo and Presbyterian minister, “and it was only last month I finally got my eligibility certificate for veterans’ benefits.

“We have no veterans’ housing on our reservation, and when we try to apply for loan guarantees to the Veterans Administration,” said another Navajo, “we are shunted from agency to agency and told we are wards of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

“But when the United States needed code talkers in the war, or infantrymen or marines, they didn’t recruit the Bureau of Indian Affairs, they recruited us.”

Frank Isaac, a Navajo who watched when the United States flag was raised in Iwo Jima in 1945, says his pride has turned to disappointment and bitterness.

“We Navajos fought for our country, we helped win the war against Japan. Now our sons have also fought for our country. And how are we treated? On my reservation, 70 percent of the veterans are unemployed,” he said.

Gordon Franklin, a Navajo silversmith, said, “Our tuberculosis rate is 15 times the rest of the country. We have 20 times as much alcoholism. To get to a hospital, it may be in Phoenix or Albuquerque, we have to provide transportation at our own expense. We are here to ask for what we earned in the war, to tell our senators.”

“It’s bad. If I got burned, I’d have to get somebody to drive me 60 miles to a hospital, there is no emergency medical care on the reservation. There are no ambulances.,” he added.

One of the most famous Native Americans of the war was Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian, who is one of the Marines portrayed raising the flag over Iwo Jima.in the memorial died of alcoholism.

Answer: It's My Nature by Laurette McGovern

Question: Laurette, why do you find satisfaction in dressing en femme?

Έλληνας ζωγράφος αφελούς τέχνης αφελής ζωγράφων Ελλάδα νορβηγική καλλιτέχνες παρουσιάζουν έργα ζωγραφικής στη Γκαλερί by Raphael Perez Israeli Artist

4 3

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV

Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?

Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.

Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?

Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.

A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.

Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?

Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics

(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)

• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.

• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.

• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.

• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.

• Warm and bright colors.

• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.

• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume

• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions

• No interest in anatomy.

• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.

I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings

Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?

Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,

I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one

Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.

Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem

Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today

In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs

Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings

Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:

In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,

In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more

I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed

In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city

Question: Have you created series of other cities from around the world?

Answer: I created series of New York City with all the iconic and famous buildings such as: the Guggenheim Museum, the famous skyscrapers - the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Lincoln Center, the famous synagogue in the city, the Statue of Liberty, the flags of the United States and other famous buildings

Two paintings of London and all its famous sites, Big Ben, famous monuments, the Ferris wheel, Queen Elizabeth and her family, the double bus, the famous public telephone, palaces, famous churches, well-known monuments

I created 4 naive paintings of cities in China, a painting of Shanghai, two paintings of the city of Suzhou and a painting of the World Park in the city of Beijing... I chose the famous skyline of Shanghai with all the famous towers, the famous promenade, temples and old buildings, two Paintings of the city of Suzhou with the famous canals, bridges, special gardens, towers and skyscrapers of the city

For a new constable posted to central London the information you are expected to know can be overwhelming. The fact is that most London policemen do not come from London and their knowledge of London may be somewhat scant, to remedy this all new Police Officers straight from Hendon were told by everybody who was older in service to obtain a 'Nicholsons'. This was the Nicholson's pocket guide to London which was an invaluable mine of information which seemed to become more and more dogeared as the officer retained the information in his head so that he could eventually dispense with it. A very necessary appointment for the London Policeman.See link.

Questions and answers. Q. Do you get stung? A. Yes, I receive an occasional sting, beekeepers should expect this. Q. How many times have you been stung? A. At one time or over the years? I like to say it only hurts for a minute but there are some real sensitive areas on the human body and the bees know where they are. Q. Do you wear a bee suit? A. Only when I need to, I would rather receive a few stings than sweat to death. It's 97°F in the shade. Don't do what I do! Do what you are comfortable with. Bee stings can be deadly.

“On the gods, I can affirm neither that they do exist nor that they do not exist: much prevents the acquisition of such knowledge beginning with the obscurity addressed by the question and followed by the brevity of human life.”

Protagoras (5th century BC)

“Gods of Asia” (in contrast to “The Gods of Asia” that would be of ridiculously pretentious scope) is a title that runs of risk of getting mired in equivocation. We are victims of the inappropriateness of a word’s meaning in one language when applied to another and particularly when dealing with the word god. The terms monotheist and polytheist are Western notions that prove rather lacking when considering Hinduism or Taoism. The first Western missionaries reaching Asia referred constantly to idolatry whenever encountering statues in places of worship that seemed strange to them. However, having hardly begun explaining the great Asian religions, we are immediately struck by the sheer similarities that they share with the great Western religions that shock anybody attempting to move on from the prevailing prejudices. The idea of a single God, considered by some to be the great Judaic religious contribution, was already in practice in Asia. The Brahman in Hinduism, the Tao of the Chinese are single, the origin of everything and everything exists in them. It would bizarre for the Hindus and Taoists to depict the almighty as a grizzled old man with a white beard not so much due to the fact that this would be sacrilege, as Islamic believers would hold, but rather because both fall outside the scope of any human understanding and are beyond any means of representation. The concept that “God made man in His image” swiftly becomes “man made God in his image”.

Furthermore, when dealing with Asian religions, there are references to gods when other terms would be used by Western religions. The Hindu gods are, in fact, the diverse manifestations of Brahman acting in the world and only as such susceptible to depiction. The Chinese gods bear a closer relationship with the saints of Christianity. Each serves its own particular function, such as Eloy as patron saint of goldsmiths or Saint Genevieve as the patron saint of Paris, which in the latter case would be known as the goddess of the Parisian earth within a Chinese pantheon.

Some of the similarities existing among all the religions are indeed surprising. The idea of the trinity is central to Hinduism. Given that everything born has to one day die, Brahman becomes creator, conservator and destroyer as reflected in the three manifestations: Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Vishnu is incarnate as God was incarnated in Jesus Christ. The Chinese are somewhat more abstract in this area given that their belief system holds that from the Three are born all beings.

Each founder of a religion is inseparable from the surrounding environment in which emerging. Just as the New Testament is not understandable unless its message is situated within the context of the Old Testament, the message of Buddha Shakyamuni was announced within a Hindu society and does not call into question beliefs such as reincarnation or karma. The Taoist religion becomes incomprehensible if stripped of either the Taoist philosophy that preceded it or the beliefs of ancient China.

Another common point is that the original message has been subject to whatever first the disciples or later the faithful decided to do with it given that the founders never actually set it down in writing. Neither Jesus Christ nor Shakyamuni not to mention Zhang Daoling left any written legacy. It was only through witnesses that we gain our awareness of their thinkings and teachings: rather disturbing when considering the general accuracy of such accounts. Just as Jesus Christ would not agree with what Churches have done with his message and in his name down through the centuries, Shakyamuni would not recognise his own thinking in the elaborations of those wishing to spread his message. Many founders of religions sought only to provide an answer to a precise question. Just as Jesus Christ wanted to introduce charity, Shakyamuni wanted to find a means to escape the suffering of existence. Just as Jesus Christ did not call into question the God of the Bible, Shakyamuni made no pronouncement on either Brahman or nirvana to such an extent of stating that Buddhism was a religion without a god.

Despite all that has been written, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are not the only book based religions. Buddhism, Jainism and Taoism are based on texts even if quite different to the Bible or the Koran. As regards the mirabilia spreading all the beliefs on either side of the Urals, it should be remembered that Asian thinkers knew how to distinguish between directly reading texts in order to gain the admiration of crowds and their interpretation at the philosophical or theological level and demonstrating a thorough understanding in the meantime.

We may inquire as to the origins of all these similarities between the world’s great religions. Are they due to the very nature of the human spirit? From a shared human story dating back to the beginnings of history? Factual influences for this, however, appear to be extremely limited even if we may recall that the halos of Western saints derive from the aura of light that is depicted around Buddhas in Asia and the concept of Hell complete with boiling cauldrons and devouring fires also originates in the East (with the difference that in the Orient, Hell is not eternal).

May it be said, as an Indian thinker once wrote, that all men worship the same god under different names? No. While the concept of a single god exists in the Asian religions and accepting that all world religions have undergone sometimes less than inspired revisions running counter to their original content, and that there are particularities common to all, it would certainly be fallacious not to see the differences inherent to each. Taoism provides an explanation of the world but each is free to accept it or otherwise and engages in no form of proselytism. Buddhism seeks to end with suffering in the hope that all men may benefit from its message but without ever becoming an imposition and sought to be tolerant regarding long existing local beliefs given its acceptance that spirits exist within living beings. As regards theological differences, these are only too susceptible to generating interminable debates.

However, this is not the intention of this exhibition nor does it involve presenting the gods of India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan with a concern to somehow encapsulate the beliefs of others into the content of picturesque or striking images. It is rather more about setting out why they are worthy of the same respect that we provide our own religions.

The exhibition thus seeks to raise awareness about certain aspects of the religious art of Asia, particularly at the popular level, and introduce the still living mythology underlying the objects on display. Hence, all the great religions of the continent are included: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and Shinto. While the Western word “god”, corresponds closest to abstract

Asian concepts such as Brahman in India or Tao in China, the supernatural beings represented here are far more manifestations of the divine in the human world.

português

“Sobre os deuses, nada posso afirmar, nem que existem nem que não existem: muitas coisas o impedem de saber, a começar pelo lado obscuro que envolve a pergunta, e a seguir pela brevidade da vida humana”

Protágoras (século V a.C.)

“Deuses da Ásia” (e não “Os deuses da Ásia”, o que seria uma pretensão ridícula) é um título que corre o risco de gerar grandes equívocos. Somos vítimas da inadequação das palavras de uma língua para a outra, e mais particularmente quando se trata da palavra deus. Os termos monoteísta e politeísta são noções ocidentais muito mal adaptadas quando se trata do hinduísmo ou do taoísmo. Os primeiros missionários ocidentais que chegaram à Ásia falavam dos idólatras sempre que viam em templos estas estátuas que lhes pareciam estranhas. No entanto, mal começamos a informar sobre as grandes religiões asiáticas, são, antes de tudo, as semelhanças com as grandes religiões ocidentais que espantam quem tente abstrair-se dos preconceitos correntes. A ideia do Deus único, que alguns consideram ser a grande contribuição da religião judaica, já vigorava na Ásia. O Brahman do hinduísmo, o Tao dos chineses são o Único, a Origem de tudo, e tudo neles existe. Seria ridículo para os hindus e taoistas verem representados o Brahman ou o Tao sob os traços de um ancião de barba branca, não tanto pelo facto que isto possa ser um sacrilégio, como o pensam os islamitas, mas porque tanto um como o outro escapam ao entendimento humano e situam-se para além de qualquer forma. A ideia de que “Deus fez o homem à sua imagem” transforma-se rapidamente em “o homem fez Deus à sua imagem”. Mas quando se trata de religiões asiáticas, fala-se de deuses quando no Ocidente utilizar-se-ia um outro termo. Os deuses hinduístas são, de facto, manifestações diversas do Brahman actuando no mundo e como tais podem ser representados. Os deuses chineses são mais aparentados aos santos do cristianismo. Cada um deles tem uma função, como Santo Elói é o patrono dos ourives ou Santa Genoveva é a padroeira de Paris, que neste caso, para os chineses, seria conhecida como deusa do Solo de Paris.

Algumas das semelhanças que existem entre todas as religiões são surpreendentes. A ideia da trindade é central no hinduísmo. Visto que tudo o que nasce tem que morrer, o Brahman manifesta-se enquanto criador, conservador e destruidor, o que se traduz pelas suas três manifestações, Brahma, Vishnu e Shiva. Vishnu incarna-se como Deus se incarnou em Jesus Cristo. Os chineses são mais abstractos nesta matéria, já que para eles é do Três que nascem todos os seres.

Cada fundador de religião é inseparável do meio em que apareceu. Tal como o Novo Testamento não é compreensível se a sua mensagem não for situada no contexto do Antigo Testamento, a mensagem do Buda Shakyamuni foi anunciada numa sociedade hinduísta e não põe em causa a crença nas reincarnações e no karma. A religião taoista torna-se incompreensível se for omitida a filosofia taoista que a precedeu e as crenças da antiguidade chinesa.

Um outro ponto comum é que a mensagem original é vítima do que fizeram dela os discípulos ou sobretudo depois, os fiéis, já que os fundadores nunca escreveram uma linha. Nem Jesus Cristo, nem Shakyamuni, nem Zhang Daoling deixaram algum escrito. Foi somente por testemunhos que se pôde conhecer o seu pensamento, o que não deixa de ser assustador quando nos lembramos do que estes valem. Tal como Jesus Cristo não concordaria com o que as Igrejas, ao longo dos séculos, fizeram com a sua mensagem, Shakyamuni não reconheceria o seu pensamento nas elaborações dos que quiseram divulgar o seu contributo. Muitos fundadores de religiões quiseram fornecer apenas uma resposta a uma pergunta precisa. Tal como Jesus Cristo quis introduzir a misericórdia. Shakyamuni quis encontrar uma via para escapar aos sofrimentos da existência. Tal como Jesus Cristo não pôs em causa o Deus da Bíblia, Shakyamuni não se pronunciou sobre o Brahman ou o nirvana, de tal maneira que chegou a dizer-se que o budismo era uma religião sem deus.

Apesar do que se escreveu, o judaísmo, o cristianismo e o Islão não são as únicas religiões do livro. O budismo, o jainismo e o taoísmo têm como base textos que nada devem aos da Bíblia ou do Corão. Quanto às mirabilia que espalham todas as crenças de cada lado dos Urais, é preciso reconhecer que os pensadores asiáticos souberam distinguir entre uma leitura dos textos ao primeiro grau, que suscita a admiração das multidões, e a sua interpretação a um nível filosófico ou teológico, para que seja entendido o sentido profundo.

Donde vêm as semelhanças entre todas as grandes religiões? Da natureza própria do espírito humano? De uma história comum da humanidade que remonta à origem dos tempos? As influências factuais parecem ser, no entanto, limitadas, mesmo que se lembre que a auréola dos nossos santos provém da aura de luz que se põe à volta dos Budas na Ásia e que a ideia do Inferno, com os seus caldeirões fumegantes e os seus fogos devoradores são originários também do Oriente (com a diferença que no Oriente o Inferno não é eterno).

Pode-se dizer, como o escreveu um pensador indiano, que todos os homens veneram o mesmo deus sob nomes diferentes? Não. Se o conceito de um deus único existe nas religiões asiáticas e já que todas as religiões do mundo conheceram reveses por vezes pouco brilhantes e contrárias ao seu pensamento original, e que algumas particularidades se encontram em todas, seria falacioso não ver as diferenças próprias de cada uma. O taoísmo fornece uma explicação do mundo, mas cada um é livre de poder aceitá-la ou não e não desenvolve nenhum tipo de proselitismo. O budismo procura apagar o sofrimento, esperando que todos os homens possam usufruir da sua mensagem, mas sem a impor, e quis-se tolerante no que toca às crenças locais antigas, visto que admite a existência de espíritos no meio dos seres. No que toca às diferenças teológicas, estas poderiam dar lugar a debates intermináveis.

Mas não é esta a intenção da exposição. Nem tão pouco apresentar deuses da Índia, da Indonésia, de Mianmar, da Tailândia, da China, do Vietname, da Coreia e do Japão com a preocupação de limitar as crenças dos outros ao conteúdo de imagens pitorescas ou belas, mas sim de mostrar que elas merecem o mesmo respeito que nós prestamos às nossas.

A exposição procura, isso sim, tornar conhecidos certos aspectos da arte religiosa na Ásia, sobretudo ao nível popular, e introduzir a mitologia ainda viva que está subjacente aos objectos apresentados. Daí estarem representadas as grandes religiões do continente, o hinduísmo, o budismo, o taoísmo, o shintô. Uma vez que a palavra ocidental “deus”, corresponde mais a conceitos asiáticos abstractos como Brama, na Índia, e Tao, na China, os seres sobrenaturais representados são muito mais manifestações do divino no mundo humano.

I shot in DX mode which crops away the extra pixels and takes me 1.5X closer while allowing for up to 7 FPS with the Nikon D810's Nikon MB-D12 Battery Grip using the 8 AA battery option! 8 Duracels took me through around 3,000 shots no problem--maybe more! I was shooting at the equivalent of 900mm with the 1.5x crop factor! Pretty close! Had I gone with the Nikon D4s, I would have gotten 12 fps, but no DX crop factor, as the sensor has only around 14mp, compared to the d810's 36 megapixels! Sure the larger pixel size on the Nikon D4s full frame sensor comes in handy indoors or at night, but in the bright sun, there's more than enough light for the smaller pixels in crop mode! Sure we lose some pixels from the outer edges when shooting in DX crop mode, but most of those pixels would be cropped away in lightroom anyway. And the smaller files make the memory cards last longer, while also upping the FPS to 7 shots per second! Not quite 12 FPS, but still awesome and enough I felt!

Démarche artistique

«À travers cette pièce chorégraphique, je souhaite transmettre un message au public et ainsi susciter une remise en question quant à l’influence de la société sur notre perception de nous même et sur le regard que nous portons sur les autres. Mon but est de faire comprendre mon thème et mon histoire principalement par la gestuelle, mais également en utilisant une certaine forme de théâtralité. Un support vidéo viendra appuyer le thème et tracer un parallèle plus concret entre celui-ci et la chorégraphie.

J’ai toujours été curieuse de me tourner vers d’autres disciplines artistiques qui enrichissent mon expérience de danseuse. C’est pourquoi ma rencontre avec Dominique Loubier, vidéaste, a renforcé cette envie d’ajouter d’autres médias à mon projet. L’actrice Julie de Lafrenière sera la Delphine originelle et fera plusieurs apparitions scéniques, jouant et dansant. J’envisage de garder mon visage caché durant l’intégralité de la pièce, d’une part pour exprimer la difficulté d’acceptation d’un nouveau corps et d’un nouveau visage pour Delphine, d’autre part pour dénoncer le jugement que la société, en l’occurrence les spectateurs, porte sur l’apparence physique. Je souhaite provoquer un questionnement et un malaise chez le public et ainsi engendrer une remise en question sur l’importance de l’aspect extérieur d’un être humain ou, dans le cas présent, d’un danseur.»

SOUS MA PEAU

Le regard des autres. Qui ne s’est jamais soucié du regard d’autrui sur son apparence physique ? Qui ne s’est jamais demandé si son corps était conforme ? Qui n’a jamais été gêné de sa corpulence, de ses particularités physiques ? C’est un sentiment que tout être connait, conditionné par une société où l’apparence est codifiée, où chacun doit rentrer dans une norme au risque d’être comparé, critiqué, montré. Mais qu’en est-il de nous ? Le « moi » profond, la personnalité, le comportement de chaque être. Notre apparence influence-t-elle notre comportement ? Notre comportement influence-t-il notre apparence. Notre personnalité serait-elle la même si nous changions d’apparence ? C’est autour de toutes ces questions que la chorégraphe Morgane Le Tiec nous amène à réfléchir. A travers une danse expressionniste théâtrale, elle nous exprime toute la difficulté d’acceptation du corps où le mouvement devient alors un moyen d’expression des émotions humaines.

NEWS RELEASE

TUNE HOTELS WINNERS TAKE OVER AND PARTY AT klia2 NEW HOTEL

Overwhelming response to Tune Hotel klia2 since 9 May opening

SEPANG, 5 June 2014 – Over 200 winners descended upon the brand new Tune Hotel klia2 and enjoyed a fun-filled evening as the hotel organised a ‘Pyjama Party’ to celebrate its recent opening last weekend.

Ten individual winners of the Tune Hotels’ #RoomerHasIt Facebook campaign were able to invite family and friends to enjoy a further 10 complimentary double rooms for a sleepover at Tune Hotel klia2 and join in for the celebration in their sleeping garb.

Award-winning recording artiste and singer-songwriter Melissa Indot, YouTube sensation Elizabeth Tan and Tune Hotels’ very own Eugene See entertained with performances of their own hit songs and popular interpretations.

International journalists and bloggers from Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia and Taiwan were also flown in courtesy of AirAsia and AirAsia X. The event was also made possible by partner-sponsors including Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid, the AirAsia BIG Loyalty Programme, Doof The World Sdn Bhd and TripAdvisor, whose mascot Ollie the Owl made a special appearance.

Group CEO of Tune Hotels Mark Lankester said: “We are thrilled with the opening of Tune Hotel klia2 which has already received an overwhelming response and very strong forward bookings from travellers around the region. Through the #RoomerHasIt social media campaign we wanted to introduce and create further awareness of our latest design and fit-out to previous guests as well as the fantastic facilities at klia2, the world’s largest purpose-built airport for low cost carriers. There’s no better way to do that than have them immersed in the hotel itself.”

He said with Tune Hotel klia2, guests now have a superior accommodation option that is not only great value for money but also features improvements to its international-standard offerings. With 400 rooms, the hotel is directly connected to the new Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) Terminal via a covered walkway and link bridge, allowing easy and more convenient access as well as the Gateway@klia2 shopping mall. For ultimate convenience, the hotel features AirAsia self check-in kiosks in the lobby.

“Much has been said about the huge size of the new klia2 Terminal and it is impressively large. By hosting these winners and their guests at the Tune Hotel klia2, we want to illustrate just how convenient it is to have a great sleep or enjoy the services within the hotel while waiting for their next flight, and the convenience of strolling over to the terminal without rushing and with time on your side. Business and leisure guests as well as airline passengers on connecting flight extended waits will enjoy a totally improved experience and most importantly a very comfortable and refreshing stay, with more amenities,” said Lankester.

On top of that, he said, guests at Tune Hotel klia2 enjoy great connectivity to KL city and its surrounding suburbs as the klia2 Terminal boasts not only bus and taxi services but also the Express Rail Link (ERL) train service that connects to and from Kuala Lumpur Sentral. For guests arriving at or departing from the KLIA Main Terminal, they can make use of the scheduled shuttle service via the ERL that costs just RM2 one way and stroll over to the hotel via its covered link bridge.

“As you can see, from klia2 guests and travellers can easily connect and enjoy our hotel service network depending on their preferences and travel purpose. In the heart of KL city they will find the hugely popular Tune Hotel Downtown Kuala Lumpur that is right smack in the centre and in the surroundings we have the Tune Hotel Kota Damansara as well as the soon-to-open Tune Hotel DPulze Cyberjaya, not to mention excellent flight connectivity, direct and indirect, to key cities and destinations in Malaysia and the whole region including Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Japan and even as far as England and Scotland, all destinations where the Tune Hotels network is present,” he added.

Tune Hotels has innovatively transformed the guestroom experience into a modern-style accommodation featuring the all-new room design with a sleek writing table, luggage platform and a 32-inch flat screen LED TV, bringing about an improved, sophisticated but cool ambience throughout the Tune Hotel klia2.

To add to the guest experience and comfort, the hotel’s spacious lobby features a cool casual seating lounge with free wifi and an expansive open-air courtyard lounge, overlooked by a 24-hour restaurant and beverage centre. For guests with further transportation needs, the hotel includes a transport counter for overland transport needs and for flights, two AirAsia self check-in kiosks and klia2’s flight information displays are provided within the lobby for added convenience to hotel guests.

The hotel also features 167 parking bays which are conveniently located just a few steps away from the airport terminal.

With a projected annual capacity of 45 million passengers, the klia2 is the world's largest purpose-built terminal dedicated for low cost carriers (LCCs). The new airport commenced commercial operations on 2 May 2014.

Tune Hotels is part of Tune Group, a lifestyle business conglomerate co-founded by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, who are the Group CEO and Executive Chairman respectively of Asia’s largest low cost carrier AirAsia.

Question Mark Galaxy - Hubble and Webb by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has also observed the galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154, but the dusty red galaxy that appears multiple times to form a question mark shape is much more prominent in the Webb image. The infrared light that Webb detects is better able to pass through the cosmic dust of its home galaxy to reach the telescope. Astronomers used Hubble’s ultraviolet observations to help determine where star formation is happening in both the red galaxy and its close companion, a face-on spiral galaxy.

Technical information about the images:

The Hubble image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Several filters were used to sample various wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue= F435W, Green=F606W, Red= F814W.

Likewise, the Webb image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the NIRCam instrument. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F090W Green: F150W Red: F444W

Credits: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Vicente Estrada-Carpenter (Saint Mary's University)

Image Description: The same region of space in side-by-side images. The left image is labeled “Hubble” and the galaxies shown have an overall yellow tone and haze. The image on the right is labeled “Webb.” In the center of that image, several images of an elongated red galaxy for a shape like the top of a question mark. In comparison it’s clear that some of the features creating the question mark shape are present in the left-hand image as well, but probably wouldn’t be noticed if that image stood alone. The right-hand image is more colorful and defined than the image on the left, with shades of white, red, and a little blue.

A friend asked me the other day something that made me think. She questioned me about what do I do when I run out of inspiration and of course I told her that in my main “field”,in photography, when I am uninspired besides cursing the runaway muse, the world and myself I always end up relaying on the same thing, hands. It’s my safe thing to do, when I don’t have time, when I don’t know what to do,it’s about grabbing something, holding it and shooting. The other day I was so out of my mind that Lu just told me, grab something and shoot it and that was what I did, and that is what I do time and time again because I know that in some way it will go right. Today was about oversleeping and lack of time but I am not unpleased, I love the softness, the idea, the light, so I am okay.

Hope you like it!

Why is there no standard for elevator buttons? How would a blind person see the blinking light? Why isn't the help button itself in braille? Would the braille be necessary if we had more consistent icon representations? by Tom Woodward

What is a Tincture and How do they Work by Orville Logan

One of the most common questions people have regarding #cannabis is exactly what it is, and what types of cannabis tinctures you can have and how they compare to other products.

Given that they are similar to the #CBD #oil that you see, a lot of times people mistake it for that. But what can you do differently with it?

That’s what we’re about to go into here, with the difference between a tincture and other products, and of course, why it matters.

What is a tincture

If you see #tinctures, you’re probably familiar with the little droppers that are attached to the caps of this.

But it’s pretty much a solution that has an alcohol solvent, along with animal extracts, and they’re oftentimes quite concentrated.

So, consuming them like you would a normal drink is not a good thing to do, but instead a drop or two goes a long way.

You need to use the dropper with this, because otherwise too much can impact the state of your body and mind as well.

How do they Work?

They’ve been around for centuries, and they are actually the main choice for delivering herbal medicine to others.

Why is that the case though?

They actually have a very powerful nature to them, and they do have higher concentration of compounds within this, and they can hit the affected areas quite fast.

Most of these used to be made with both #vinegar and #glycerin, but today, glycerin is on the list, but #alcohol is the main choice in these instances too.

The solvents are able to dissolve the #compounds of the organic matter that’s there, which is a fancy name for plant parts, and take the #ingredients that are out of them.

The process then brings those compounds directly to the body, and it does it so much faster than other sorts of means, and it’s a lot more potent than others too, sometimes more than #edibles in some cases too.

CBD Tinctures?

CBD tincture sis pretty much alcohol-based extracts, and most of the time, the manufacturer may use a higher level of alcohol to extract this, and in other cases, they use glycerin.

There are CBD tinctures and THC tinctures, and the main difference is the CBD one is CBD alcohol, and the THC one is THC alcohol infusions, and of course, neither of them are completely devoid of the other component either.

How to Use

You can use this in one of two ways.

The first, is you take that dropper and put either a drop or two directly underneath the tongue, and the effects happen within an hour of you doing this type of method.

The second way is additives. Take a food or a drink that you have, put it in, and consume it. While it does take longer for this to happen, if you don’t feel like buying or making your own edibles, this is a good way to do it.

The tinctures are not good to be used with application topically and aren’t considered good topicals in general.

The best way to start with tinctures is one drop, and then go from there. If you don’t feel the effects within an hour or so, you should then try again, or try another day in order to see if those effects are right for you.

The use of tinctures is important for so many who are interested in making sure that they get the most effects that they can out of this, and here, you learned about it.
