If this is a pun, it's really bad.
If it is a mistake, it's really sad.
Or is there a deeper meaning I don't get?
Or is it an underground movement I should know?
Hello my friends to days painting is called (REVOLUTION) A revolution is (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Aristotle described two types of political revolution:
Complete change from one constitution to another
Modification of an existing constitution ,Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions.everyone you talk to can gave you a idea what they think of a revolution of the past or one that needs to happen somewhere in the world ,its a very strong word bound to turn heads,and many people have lost their heads all in the name of REVOLUTION! steve.
I just had to take part in this celebration my way!
Today the 25th of March 2021 marks the anniversary of 200 years since the Greek Revolution of 1821 against the Ottoman Empire.
Theodoros Kolokotronis was the prominent military leader and one of the key figures of the Greek Revolution!

Snow Day by Billy Collins
Today we woke up to a revolution of snow,
its white flag waving over everything,
the landscape vanished,
not a single mouse to punctuate the blankness,
and beyond these windows
the government buildings smothered,
schools and libraries buried, the post office lost
under the noiseless drift,
the paths of trains softly blocked,
the world fallen under this falling.
In a while, I will put on some boots
and step out like someone walking in water,
and the dog will porpoise through the drifts,
and I will shake a laden branch
sending a cold shower down on us both.
But for now I am a willing prisoner in this house,
a sympathizer with the anarchic cause of snow.
I will make a pot of tea
and listen to the plastic radio on the counter,
as glad as anyone to hear the news
that the Kiddie Corner School is closed,
the Ding-Dong School, closed.
the All Aboard Children’s School, closed,
the Hi-Ho Nursery School, closed,
along with—some will be delighted to hear—
the Toadstool School, the Little School,
Little Sparrows Nursery School,
Little Stars Pre-School, Peas-and-Carrots Day School
the Tom Thumb Child Center, all closed,
and—clap your hands—the Peanuts Play School.
So this is where the children hide all day,
These are the nests where they letter and draw,
where they put on their bright miniature jackets,
all darting and climbing and sliding,
all but the few girls whispering by the fence.
And now I am listening hard
in the grandiose silence of the snow,
trying to hear what those three girls are plotting,
what riot is afoot,
which small queen is about to be brought down.
Photograph taken of the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm at 07:07am on Thursday January 28th 2016 in the magic of The Golden Hour around Sunrise, (Sunrise was at precisely 07:39am), at an altitude of Thirteen metres, off Botany Road and Marine Drive, on the sandy shoreline of Botany Bay in Broadstairs, Kent, England.
Thanet offshore windfarm was officially opened on September 23rd 2010 and was for a time, the largest offshore windfarm project in the world. The eight lines of turbines, one hundred of them in total, run north-west to south-east, covering a total area of 35sq km off Foreness Point near Margate. Each turbine is 115 metres high with 44-metre blades, and the project cost between £780-900million
The seven bays in Broadstairs consist of: (From south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay.

Inspired by the spirit of The Beatles and created by Cirque du Soleil, The Beatles REVOLUTION LOUNGE opened at The Mirage in December of 2006. Opening its doors only six months after the high-profile launch of The Beatles LOVE, REVOLUTION offers an extended experience before and after the show.
Revolutionary in design and atmosphere, this ultra-lounge features cutting edge, interactive experiences to create a psychedelic sensory environment and a contemporary interpretation of The Beatles era. Each night will be an evolutionary journey, where both the music and interior transform, resulting in an eclectic nightlife adventure at The Mirage.
This is the first time Cirque du Soleil draws upon their innovative talent to create a unique nightlife experience in Las Vegas.

The Kremlin (Moscow, Russia).
The Kremlin is the historical, spiritual and political heart of Moscow and the city's most famous landmark and tourist attraction. It's an intriguing ensemble of buildings with an architectural variety that reveals a long and fascinating history. The Kremlin stands at the confluence of the Moscow and Neglinaya Rivers on Borovitsky Hill, named after the pine forests (bor in Russian) that used to cover it. Legend has it that while hunting in the forest a group of boyars (Russian nobles) saw an enormous two-headed bird swoop down on a boar, carry it away and deposit it on the top of what was to become Borovitsky Hill. That night the boyars dreamt of a city of tents, spires and golden domes and resolved the next morning to build a settlement on the hill. History sees it a little differently and attributes the founding of the Kremlin to Prince Yury Dolgoruky, who built the first wooden fort on the hill in 1147 AD, although historians believe that the site may have been inhabited as long ago as 500 BC. The word "kremlin" means simply "fortification" or "citadel" in Russian, and is thought to derive from either the Ancient Greek words kremn or kremnos, meaning a steep hill above a ravine, or the Slavonic term kremnik, meaning thick coniferous forest, that being the likely material from which the original fort was constructed. As the fortress was enlarged and developed, the city of Moscow rapidly sprung up around it. During the 14th century, when Moscow became the center of a Grand Principality, the fortress was for the first time perceived as a separate citadel and a principle part of the city and in 1331 was given the title "Kremlin". Between 1339 and 1340 the fortress was rebuilt with new walls and towers of oak, but due to the constant threat of fire damage, in 1366 the Moscow Prince Dmitry Ivanovich (later Donskoy) ordered the construction of a large white-stone wall around the fortress to protect it.
As Moscow struggled with the Khanate of the Golden Horde, repeated attacks by the Grand Prince Olgerd of Lithuania and political rivalry with the city of Tver, building work within the Kremlin continued and by the end of the 14th century the fortress was filled with churches, monasteries and manors housing the Grand Prince's retainers and the local nobility. The 15th century saw the unification of the Russian feudal principalities under the authority of the Grand Prince Ivan III of Moscow and to celebrate he ordered the reconstruction of the Kremlin on a grand scale. Architects, builders and craftsmen were drafted in from Pskov, Novgorod and Vladimir and the Italian architects Alberti Fioravante, Marco Bono and Pietro Antonio Solari began work on the Kremlin's ramparts and cathedrals. The new Cathedral of the Assumption was the first to be reconstructed, followed by the Cathedral of the Annunciation and the Church of the Deposition of the Robe in the 1480s and finally the Cathedral of the Archangel in the early 16th century. The Bell Tower of Ivan the Great, built between 1505 and 1508, completed the Cathedral Square ensemble and new Kremlin walls and towers were constructed simultaneously from 1485 onwards.
Successive rulers left their mark on the Kremlin and its architectural ensemble grew more and more varied throughout the centuries. The 15th century saw the addition of the Faceted Palace, the oldest secular building in the Kremlin complex. The 16th century ruler Ivan the Terrible further embellished the Kremlin's cathedrals and ramparts and constructed the enormous Tsar Canon and the Old English Embassy, for the purpose of accommodating English merchants and facilitating duty-free trade. At the start of the 17th century Mikhail Romanov assumed power and rebuilt and restored much of the fortress, adding the Terem Palace and the Patriarch's Palace and in 1655 Tsar Alexei's reign saw the casting of the impressive Tsar Bell. Although Peter the Great preferred St. Petersburg as his capital, he commissioned the construction of the Kremlin Arsenal in the 1730s for the storage of weapons and military equipment. Catherine the Great added the Senate building later that century and in the 1840s Nicholas I commissioned the Russo-Byzantine-style Armory and the Great Kremlin Palace. With the Bolshevik storming of the Kremlin during the 1917 Revolution the fortress was closed to the public for the next 50 years and the only architectural additions made by the Soviet regime were the 1934 Presidium and the modernistic State Kremlin Palace (previously the Palace of Congresses) in 1961. Today approximately two-thirds of the Kremlin is off-limits to visitors, including the Arsenal, the Presidium, the Terem, Faceted and Great Kremlin Palaces and most of the buildings in the northern half of the fortress. Tourists do, however, have access to all the cathedrals, the unmissable and priceless collections of the Armory, the Patriarch's Palace and the State Kremlin Palace, which hosts regular concerts and gala performances.
When we started our walk, I told Laura that I wanted to find things. Ever flip through a Flickr Stream & notice how people stumble onto beautiful things? A bench with "love" written on the back. A heart shaped stone. I realize that to find beauty you have your eyes wide open. I found some words during the walk. Nothing symbolic or hidden. Anyone passing the rail could read this message. Give me a little wiggle room. I just started looking.

September 1-2+3 The Revolution (featuring Andre Cymone & Dez Dickerson) played 3 very emotional tribute concerts to Prince in First Avenue & 7th St Entry, Minneapolis.

و أبو كاسر يا أمي...
تشابكت أصابعنا. كان يضحك، مثل سهلٍ واسعٍ. مثل شاطئ.
وتحت سماءٍ بلا خوف دبكنا في شوارع السبيل؛ رقصنا...
جنّة جنّة جنّة ... جنّة يا وطنا...
لم تكن المظاهرة قد بدأت بعد. كنا على وشك الولوج إلى عوالم الانعتاق... جنة اللملذات.
ومن حولنا انتشر بعض الشبان يهيئون لوطن يولد من إصطفاق الأكف وهدير الحناجر
بتعرف يا عروة، كل مرة بمسك فيها الكاميرا وبنزل على المظاهرة بحس إني عم بنولد من جديد. بحس الناس عم بيؤمنوا فيا، وبطولاتهم رح تتمجد. بس تنجح الثورة بعرف اني رح أرجع على بيتي ورح أترك هي الكاميرا... بس هسع بصور مثل عاشق
بالإضافة للمحاجرة.
نضحك
وتدبّ أقدامنا بكل ما ما فيها من عنفوان وجموح
يا وطن يا حبيب يا بو ترابٍ طيب ... حنّا رجالك حنّا
حنّا رجالك حنّا
يحيط بنا الغاز والدخان من كل الجهات.
كمين عروة اهرب.. اهرب...
ركضنا... كنا نركض وكان الرصاص يرسم شوارع الخوف التي نعبر فيها..
يا عروة بسرعة...
من هون ... من هون...
حاصرونا يا شباب...
وسقطت... ولامست وجنتي الإسفلت... وانغز حصاه القاسي في جبهتي.
هل أردت النهوض مرة أخرى؟
أين انتهت تلك الدوائر التي رسمها المطر ذات يوم على طريق ينحدر من سماء الطفولة؟
أحبك!
يملئني الحنين..
وجهك مثل رغيف خبز يا قيس...
للدم طعم التراب..
أشتم رائحة أمي... لأمي رائحة الصباح
يدك خائفة... ترتجف... أشعر برعشتها تسري في ذلك الحديد الصلب الذي يهرس رأسي.
أنت مثلي عاشق، لمحت فتاة في طرف عينيك.
رصاص...
عرووووة.. يلعن أبوكن كلاب...
كنت أزحف على الأرض وأشتم رائحة دمي... كأن الأرض رحم يلفظني إلى الحياة.
لمحت وجهه الهلع وهو يهجم على الأمن ليخلصني منهم.
على سطح الطابق الرابع في أحد أحياء السبيل وجدني بعض السكان محشوراً تحت خزان ماء حديدي وأنا أنزف. أنزلوني إلى أحد البيوت وقاموا باستدعاء الأطباء. ومن ثم نقلت إلى منزلٍ آخر خوفاً من مداهمات محتملة للحي.
لم أكن أعرف ما حدث بالضبط لكن أخبرني أحد الأصدقاء أن ذلك كان كمين يستهدفنا أنا ومجموعة أصدقاء، وأن حي السبيل للمرة الأولى كان مطوقاً بالكامل. أصيب صديق برصاصة بفخذه واعتقل الآخر. أما أنا فضربت حتى اعتقد الأمن أنني مت، فتركوني ليمسكوا بالبقية، وأثناء ذلك زحفت إلى مدخل أحد المباني، وعند عودتهم لم يعرفوا إلى أي مبنى دخلت.
مازلت أذكر وجهه الفزع، وصوته الذي يرنُّ في أذني. ماذا يسعني أن أقول الآن؟!
أنا مدين بحياتي له. هل تكفي كلمة بطل لأقولها لك؟!
قالت لي أمي وهي تكفكف دموعها: يا ماما والله قلبي ما عاد يتحمل... إطلع برات البلد وريح قلبي
وأبو كاسر يا أمي وأبو كاسر ...?!

Theres something about these buildings that I like Think its the detail and expense they put in them...
when building them up
Back in at the latter part of 2006 and early 2007 First trialled a MAN 14.220 MCV Evolution demonstrator which at the time was probably the newest single deck in use at Plymouth!
It was one of those 'journeyman' demo buses which did the rounds at various ops.
It is now part of Arriva The Shires fleet.
Not sure what fleet number it got allocated or what impression it made, probably not much of one!
The Revolution will be standardised

Ora, nesta noite solene, vamos acabar com o estado a que chegámos! De maneira que, quem quiser vir comigo, vamos para Lisboa e acabamos com isto. Quem for voluntário, sai e forma. Quem não quiser sair, fica aqui!"
