Say "Hi! to Makuro Takeda!
Reinvented one of my RP-Characters new. Since I am struggling with creativity atm it was enjoyable to give him some new vibes.
A Cadillac Deville convertible of 1967 and a Lincoln Continental of the early/mid 1960s were both symbols of luxury at the time.
The Cadillac has been lowered and fitted with accessory whitewall tires. The Lincoln appears to be fitted with larger diameter wheels. Both have modifications to suit their owners’ tastes.
This tangle is done using the paradox tangle as a reticular for another pattern. The pattern is striping, the creator is Martha Huggins and I followed her tutorial on YouTube.
The Ponte de Dom Luis I is as old as the Eiffel Tower and probably the most photographed object in town. But apart from that Porto is also a truly fascinating European city with a very very large past, a flourishing art scene and a good dosage of bourgeois flair. The city over its 2000 year history reinvented itself several times and is currently quite determined to regain its position as one of Europe's top centres.

L’absolu est un spectacle traversant les nombreuses tentatives de libération de l’individu englué dans la morale qui bride le corps et entrave le désir de l’homme.
L'absolu est une enquête poétique au cœur de la psyché des êtres, qui replace le désir au centre de nos vies. Cette quête induit un procès, un mythe réinventé où l’homme se trouve en conflit avec lui-même, ses dieux et ses démons, sa zone sombre et sa part flamboyante. Absolu car insaisissable à celui qui veut le maîtriser. Mais si ce désir n'est pas identifié, transcendé, il crée du symptôme, il "hystérise" collectivement parfois... Suscitant la catharsis des corps et invoquant les codes de la tragédie grecque dans nos sociétés contemporaines.
Depuis 2008, ce projet chemine dans la réflexion quant à la recontextualisation de la perception du spectateur. Boris Gibé a souhaité travailler sur une structure vertigineuse, offrant une expérience physique aux spectateurs : “Comme dans un théâtre anatomique, j’avais envie que ce spectacle soit vu du dessus, en circulaire, pour que le public se retrouve dans une réalité supérieure au sort de l'homme mis en scène”. Le Silo est un chapiteau de tôle de 9m de diamètre, 12 m de haut et d’une jauge de 100 places assises. A l'intérieur, autour de la piste, deux escaliers à double révolution s'enroulent sur 4 étages, et accueillent les spectateurs sur chacune des marches.
Dans ce puit aux images qui questionne le vide, le néant, l'inconnu, l'infini, les pistes de recherches s'orientent pour le moment vers une relation du corps avec les éléments (eau, air, feu...). L’acrobatie aérienne sur des agrès de cirque réinventés, ainsi que la contorsion y seront chorégraphiées dans une approche du geste comportemental poussant la physicalité à l’extrême.
The absolute is a show that goes through the many attempts to free the individual stuck in the morality that restricts the body and hinders the desire of man.
The absolute is a poetic investigation into the heart of the psyche of beings, which places desire at the center of our lives. This quest induces a trial, a reinvented myth where man finds himself in conflict with himself, his gods and his demons, his dark zone and his flamboyant part. Absolute because elusive to the one who wants to master it. But if this desire is not identified, transcended, it creates symptoms, it sometimes "hysterizes" collectively... Arousing the catharsis of bodies and invoking the codes of Greek tragedy in our contemporary societies.
Since 2008, this project has been moving forward in reflection on the recontextualization of the spectator's perception. Boris Gibé wanted to work on a vertiginous structure, offering a physical experience to the spectators: "As in an anatomical theater, I wanted this show to be seen from above, in a circle, so that the audience finds themselves in a reality superior to the fate of the man staged". The Silo is a sheet metal tent 9m in diameter, 12m high and with a capacity of 100 seats. Inside, around the track, two double-revolution staircases wind over 4 floors, and welcome the spectators on each of the steps. In this well of images that questions the void, nothingness, the unknown, the infinite, the research avenues are currently oriented towards a relationship between the body and the elements (water, air, fire...). Aerial acrobatics on reinvented circus apparatus, as well as contortion will be choreographed in an approach to behavioral gesture pushing physicality to the extreme.

Pictorialists took the medium of photography and reinvented it as an art form, placing beauty, tonality, and composition above creating an accurate visual record. Through their creations, the movement strove to elevate photography to the same level as painting and have it recognized as such by galleries and other artistic institutions. Photography was invented in the late 1830s and was initially considered to be a way in which to produce purely scientific and representational images. This began to change from the 1850s when advocates such as the English painter William John Newton suggested that photography could also be artistic.

Character Creation
The Shade (Richard Swift) is a comic book character developed in the 1940s for National Comics, first appearing in the pages of Flash Comics in a story titled "The Man Who Commanded the Night", scripted by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Hal Sharp.
Debuting as a villain, the Shade was best known for fighting against two generations of superheroes, most notably the Golden Age and Silver Age versions of the Flash.
He eventually became a mentor for Jack Knight, the son of the Golden Age Starman, Ted Knight, a hero the Shade had also fought.
Though portrayed in Silver Age comics as a thief with a cane that could manipulate shadows, the character was reinvented in 1994 as a morally ambiguous Victorian-era immortal who gained the ability to manipulate shadows and immortality from an unexplained mystical event.
In 2009, the Shade was ranked as IGN's 89th-greatest villain of all time.
The Shade appeared as a major character from the season 1 finale onwards in Stargirl, played by Jonathan Cake
Publication history
The Shade first appeared in Flash Comics #33 (September 1942), and was created by Gardner Fox and Harold Sharp.
Shade received a solo series in late 2011, written by Robinson and drawn by Cully Hamner, Darwyn Cooke, Javier Pulido, and others. It deals with Shade and his descendants, flashing back to various points in his life as he travels the globe trying to find who is behind a plot to kill him.
Fictional Character History
Origin
Born and raised in London, England in the early 1800s, Richard Swift was a wealthy importer. In the course of his business he came into contact with Simon Culp, who hired Swift to import a lion for him. The pair became friends while awaiting the arrival of the lion. It was soon revealed that Culp was merely using Swift in an effort to enact an arcane ritual; he captured Swift and attempted to use him as a sacrifice to the goddess Scathach. However, for reasons unknown, Swift was gifted with the powers that Culp had intended only for himself. The resultant mystical occurrence resulted in the deaths of over a hundred people. Bereft of all memories of who he had been, Swift departed his old life and was reborn as the Shade. Immediately after the events that gave him his powers, the disoriented Shade was taken in by Piers Ludlow, who attempted to take advantage of Shade's state by framing him for murder. Shade lashed out instinctively with his powers, making an enemy of the Ludlow family when he killed almost the entire family. Following this he embarked on a career of questionable legality, exploring the world and occasionally taking work as an assassin.
Golden Age
In his original Golden Age appearances, the Shade was portrayed as a villainous character. Primarily a thief, he utilized a cane that allowed him to manipulate shadows. He retained this characterization throughout the Golden, Silver and Bronze Ages.
Modern Age
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Shade remained a villain for a few more years. Following Zero Hour his character was significantly rewritten. He was re-imagined as an immortal of Victorian extraction, and given a more morally ambiguous, anti-heroic bent. Much of his previous villainy was retconned as the influence of Culp. This version of the character no longer needed the magical cane to manipulate shadows, this trait became inherent.
Rebirth
Following the universal reboot, the powers of the Darklands, previously only semi-sentient, became fully sentient and autonomous. Shade himself became significantly less competent.
Flash of Two Worlds
Working with the Fiddler and the Thinker, Shade takes part in shifting Keystone City out of phase, trapping the inhabitants and causing the rest of the world to forget the city ever existed. They use this power to loot the city with impunity. They are confronted by both Jay Garrick and Barry Allen, and the heroes eventually defeat the Shade and his companions.
Starman
Shade first comes into contact with Starman when he abducts the hero's father, Ted Knight, at the behest of Mist. He soon turns against Mist and sides with Starman, later forming close ties with the O'Dare family, particularly Matt O'Dare. During their association Shade frequently engages in heroic behaviour to assist Jack and Matt. At one point he agrees to selflessly sell his soul to save those trapped in a cursed poster. Around this time he makes an enemy of Neron by refusing to accept the demon's deal to increase his own power. During the events of the Godwave his powers are completely unaffected by the event that depowered most powered individuals. Slowly but surely Culp is able to take control of Shade's body, culminating in an attempt to destroy Opal City, carried out with the sole intention of destroying the city that Shade loves. Joining Culp's efforts are Neron, one of the last remaining Ludlows, and Mist's daughter. Shade is able to expel Culp, but in so doing loses his powers. Despite this, he is able to use a shadow demon to engage in a battle of wills with Culp, which he ultimately wins. Stripping Culp of his powers and adding them to his own, Shade is victorious.
Infinite Crisis
Still in Opal City and acting as the city's heroic, if cynical, protector, Shade spends the Crisis defending the city and its inhabitants.
Cry For Justice
Shade tells Jay Garrick of Prometheus' plan to distract the heroes from his master plan, and travels with the hero to the Watchtower. There, they encounter Prometheus, who is attempting to flee the ship. As he is not a hero, Prometheus has no file on how to defeat Shade, and is confounded by how to deal with him. Donna Troy takes the opportunity to attack Prometheus and beats him nearly to death. Shade prevents her from killing the villain. He later aids Green Arrow in travelling to Prometheus' lair, where Green Arrow kills the villain.
Blackest Night
Now in a relationship with Hope O'Dare, Shade is attacked by Black Lantern David Knight. Due to his immortality, Shade is not killed when Knight rips his heart from his chest, and is able to resist the Black Lantern ring that attempts to attach itself to him. He traps Knight in the Darklands when Knight threatens to kill Jack and O'Dare. Using his own heart he traps Knight and banishes him permanently. He is found soon afterwards by Barry Allen and Hal Jordan, who ask for transportation to the Ghost Zone. He agrees to help, and they locate the rotting body of Prometheus in the Ghost Zone.
Brightest Day
Shade is sought by Jay Garrick, Doctor Mid-Nite, Sebastian Faust, and Wildcat, all of whom seek his assistance in locating Obsidian. He is found in his home in a comatose state, apparently placed there by the Starheart-possessed Obsidian, who wanted to stop Shade from revealing "secrets". Soon afterwards Shade is captured by Eclipso, who brainwashes him. At the behest of Saint Walker he is sought and rescued by Starman and Atom, who manage to free him of the brainwashing. He turns on his erstwhile captor, helping the heroes defeat Eclipso.
The Shade
Attacked at his home in Opal City, Shade sets off on a world-spanning quest to discover the origin of the assassination attempt. At the same time he explores his past, and encounters numerous figures that have been important in his long life, as well as exploring the extent of his own powers. It eventually becomes clear that the assassination was ordered by a member of his own family, Dudley, Lord Caldecott, acting in concert with an ancient cult. The cult accidentally unleashes ancient godlike beings on London, whom Shade is able to defeat by trapping them in a pocket dimension and transporting them back to their home dimension.
The Speed of Darkness
As Shade grows increasingly worried that he will return to his life of crime and jeopardize his relationship with Hope, his shadow powers take it upon themselves to begin committing crimes on his behalf. When this is discovered by Hope, who believes that Shade has relapsed, the shadows kidnap and brainwash her, and entrap Shade in the Darklands. He is able to push some shadow into Central City, where it attracts the attention of Kid Flash and the Flash, who come to his aid. They help him rescue Hope and regain control of the Darklands.
Powers and Abilities
Shade is the strongest known channeller of the shadow powers of the Darklands, a dimension of sentient darkness that he can channel to a variety of effects. He can also use this dimension to teleport himself and others, with no known limits to the distance he can travel; it can also be used to travel through time. He is functionally immortal and practically indestructible. He is intelligent and resourceful.

I think it's on par with what the townspeople of Bend, Oregon did to rejuvenate their town, by turning it into a tourist destination. A community of forward thinking; well done!

INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Uncle Sam is a national personification of the United States (US), with the first usage of the term dating from the War of 1812 and the first illustration dating from 1852. He is often depicted as a serious elderly white man with white hair and a goatee, with an obvious resemblance to Presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, and dressed in clothing that recalls the design elements of the flag of the United States—for example, typically a top hat with red and white stripes and white stars on a blue band, and red and white striped trousers.
Common folklore holds origins trace back to soldiers stationed in upstate New York, who would receive barrels of meat stamped with the initials U.S. The soldiers jokingly referred these initials as to naming the troops' meat supplier, (Uncle) Samuel Wilson of Troy, New York.
The 87th United States Congress adopted the following resolution on September 15, 1961: "Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives that the Congress salutes Uncle Sam Wilson of Troy, New York, as the progenitor of America's National symbol of Uncle Sam." Monuments mark his birthplace in Arlington, Massachusetts, and site of burial in Oakwood Cemetery, Troy, New York. Another sign marks "The boyhood home of Uncle Sam" outside his second home in Mason, NH. The first use of the term in literature is seen in an 1816 allegorical book, The Adventures of Uncle Sam in Search After His Lost Honor by Frederick Augustus Fidfaddy, Esq., also in reference to the aforementioned Samuel Wilson.
Earlier representative figures of the United States included such beings as "Brother Jonathan," used by Punch magazine. These were overtaken by Uncle Sam somewhere around the time of the Civil War. The female personification "Columbia" has seldom been seen since the 1920s.
Originally published as the cover for the July 6, 1916, issue of Leslie's Weekly with the title "What Are You Doing for Preparedness?" this portrait of "Uncle Sam" went on to become--according to its creator, James Montgomery Flagg--"the most famous poster in the world." Over four million copies were printed between 1917 and 1918, as the United States entered World War I and began sending troops and matériel into war zones.
Flagg (1877-1960) contributed forty-six works to support the war effort. He was a member of the first Civilian Preparedness Committee organized in New York in 1917 and chaired by Grosvenor Clarkson. He also served as a member of Charles Dana Gibson's Committee of Pictorial Publicity, which was organized under the federal government's Committee on Public Information, headed by George Creel.
Because of its overwhelming popularity, the image was later adapted for use in World War II. Upon presenting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt a copy of the poster, Flagg remarked that he had been his own model for Uncle Sam to save the modeling fee. Roosevelt was impressed and replied: "I congratulate you on your resourcefulness in saving model hire. Your method suggests Yankee forebears."
Uncle Sam is one of the most popular personifications of the United States. However, the term "Uncle Sam" is of somewhat obscure derivation. Historical sources attribute the name to a meat packer who supplied meat to the army during the War of 1812--Samuel (Uncle Sam) Wilson (1766-1854). "Uncle Sam" Wilson was a man of great fairness, reliability, and honesty, who was devoted to his country--qualities now associated with "our" Uncle Sam. James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960)

Of course, the latest announcement on open sim pricing probably dooms this before its barely begun.... :(((
Berlin's Siegessäule - Victory Column - is another of Berlin's monuments that has reinvented itself through the ages - from symbol of Prussian military victory in the 19th century to a favourite tourist spot today. As US Presidential candidate, Barack Obama chose the Siegessäule as the alternative spot to the Brandenburg Gate for his speech to 200,000 Berliners on July 24, 2008.
The 67m high symbol of victory originally stood in front of the Reichstag in the former Königsplatz and today's Platz der Republik. It was relocated here, in the Tiergarten's main roundabout in 1938. The Großer Stern roundabout is a central intersection from which five avenues stretch out to different directions around the compass.

Tollgate Cottage
Built in 1769 after the road was turnpiked in 1752, it was originally known as Turnpike Cottage and Monwode Stone Cottage. Built of sandstone it has features typical of the Gothic revival of the period ie pointed arch on the front window. This was a style reinvented by Horace Walpole in his Strawberry Hill house in 1750 and Strawberry Hill Gothic Style is the type of architectural style this house is built to. Extended in the late nineteenth century it later became known as Tollgate Cottage. Sold recently I believe in 2010 for £335,995
