MoMA quote:
"Newman may appear to concentrate on shape and color, but he insisted that his canvases were charged with symbolic meaning. Like Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich before him, he believed in the spiritual content of abstract art. The very title of this painting—in English, "Man, heroic and sublime"—points to aspirations of transcendence.
Abstract Expressionism is often called "action painting," but Newman was one of the several Abstract Expressionists who eliminated signs of the action of the painter's hand, preferring to work with broad, even expanses of deep color. Vir Heroicus Sublimis is large enough so that when the viewer stands close to it, as Newman intended, it creates an engulfing environment—a vast red field, broken by five thin vertical stripes. Newman admired Alberto Giacometti's bone-thin sculptures of the human figure, and his stripes, or "zips," as he called them, may be seen as symbolizing figures against a void. Here they vary in width, color, and firmness of edge: the white zip at center left, for example, looks almost like the gap between separate planes, while the maroon zip to its right seems to recede slightly into the red. These subtly differentiated verticals create a division of the canvas that is surprisingly complex, and asymmetrical; right in the middle of the picture, however, they set off a perfect square."

5:30AM the sky looked a bit funny but 15 minutes later I could make out why.
By 6AM it was very simple to see there was Fog as thick as pea soup.
The kind of fog that sticks to you while walking in it, we're talking real thick.
Thought about this for awhile and figured this means it's highly unlikely for any rain this morning.
..Cool, got packed and took off .. ;-)
Traveling light just in case my weather prediction goes south on me.
Cotton bag over my shoulder with the D300/35mm 1.8 lens. Hat, extra battery, cell phone, water bottle and of course all the dog food bags strapped into the front basket.
Had to remove my glasses on the ride out due to the thick fog, halfway there sun came out and glasses went back on.
As I pulled into the temple grounds there wasn't a single monkey in sight.
Lots of local people were there and music was coming from some really big speakers, busy place for so early in the morning !
Turned down the driveway to The Dog Palace and noticed out of the corner of my left eye 3 or 4 monkeys waiting in The DMZ.
Pulled up to the rusty old gate and not a single dog, no big deal.
Turned off the engine, put the kickstand down and dismounted, still no dogs.
Had just taken the helmet off when three very excited dogs came racing out of the rusty old gate and crashed into my legs.
Mama and Ding Bat immediately go to work on my toes, Mr Brown rams his huge head into my hand then into my leg once again.
Ya know, I'm starting to think they really like me ...;-)
Sorted everything out by tying the helmet into the basket so the primates can't steal it, grabbed the food bags and off we went.
Three trays are filled with fresh food and three dogs went to work filling their bellies.
3-4 maybe 5 Army guys came by while The Browns were eating, all were very polite, as was I .
The Browns didn't want anything to do with them, big zero on that !
Like I said yesterday there is 20-25 Army guys living in The Dog Palace for a few more days.
It was also very clear they all know these dogs plus the Leroy Crew are mine, be polite to them too !
Speaking of The Leroy Crew, soon I had their bag of food stuffed up under my arm and heading through The DMZ on my way to feed them.
The next photo shows Mr Brown keeping one monkey up in the tree in The DMZ, you can see his shadow.
OK, So now lets talk about this photo with a young lad , Mr Brown and Ding Bat....
For the last 3 weeks school has been out so this young monkey boy has been hanging out with Grand Ma who is a worker here at the monkey temple.
He and his brother are both my friends. Pretty cool kids, I always stop and converse with them in my limited Thai.
They always stand and giggle with wide eyes while I take a couple photos then let them see what was just documented, more giggling.
Over this time I have worked very hard to get Mama, Ding Bat and Mr Brown to come close and let the young monkey boys pet them.
Today it finally happened, Mr Brown is saying "I'll do this but you Mr Jon better stay real close"
Mama wouldn't come within 20 meters, no way but surprisingly Ding Bat did a walk by touch and go.
The second I moved Mr Brown was back at my side and Ding Bat was off flying around some where....;-)
FYI: The slingshot is for the monkeys ........
If you Fav this photo I hope you are polite and leave a comment.
If you do take the time to leave your words I thank you very much ..... ;-)
Jon&Crew, still here doing what I do.
Thank You.

Another message from the artist James De La Vega, written on the sidewalk. This one is a bit more difficult to see in the photo. It reads, "Slavery has yet to perish -De La Vega" - it's a message I haven't seen from him before, and it's uncharacteristically grim. Many of his more recent messages have seemed that way.
I came upon this one when it was fresh. I had walked down this way a few hours earlier, and it had been devoid of messages. Setting up this shot had the usual challenges of framing, but I also wanted to incorporate something that would give a feel for the city environment that the message was in. I was pleased with a few that included joggers and bikers near the message, but then I saw a dog walker who had just gone to a water fountain with his dog. (At this particular fountain, there was an additional fountain near the bottom for the dog to drink from and splash in.) They began to walk in the direction of the message, and the rest was a matter of timing.
While I do not intend for this to be a statement equating pets with slavery, it seemed rather fitting to have this unenthusiastic-looking dog getting tugged along on a leash, stepping over the chalk words.

Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The health of mothers and infants became of increasing concern in the first decades of the twentieth century. The early baby health movement was driven by committed volunteers frustrated at government inaction. Dr Isabella Younger Ross (1887-1956) who had studied infant health in England helped set up Victoria?s first baby health clinic in Richmond in 1917. By 1918 the voluntary Victorian Baby Health Centres Association (VBHCA) was formed to oversee the growing number of centres. Financial support also came from local councils and in 1926 the State government formed the Infant Welfare Section of the Public Health Department and appointed Dr Vera Scantlebury Brown as the first Director.
Kew Council opened the municipality's first baby health centre at the Kew Town Hall on 5 November 1920. Some other councils, such as Coburg, were also opening temporary centres around this time apparently prompted by the pneumonic influenza epidemic. The centre built at Kew East is one of the first permanent baby health premises in Victoria. It was opened by the Countess of Stradbroke in December 1925. It was designed by the Kew City Building Surveyor, Mr R. Chipperfield, and built by Messrs Murphy and Pearce at a cost of £1200. The roughcast rendered Californian Bungalow style building has some English Cottage or Arts and Crafts associations and is set in garden surroundings. With its tiled roof, boxed double-hung windows, louvred sliding shutters, heavy piers supporting a large 'L'-shaped verandah, tall chimneys and masonry flower boxes, it exemplifies the trend of early centres to mirror popular domestic architecture.
How is it significant?
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre is of historical, architectural and social significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre, as one of the earliest purpose-built baby health centres in Victoria, is of historical significance for its associations with the history of maternal and infant welfare in Victoria. It is the oldest known centre surviving in an intact state, and demonstrates the strength of community concern about infant and maternal welfare prior to official government involvement. The building retains its original purpose and function to this day.
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre is of architectural significance as an intact example of an early baby health care centre. As a building constructed in the Californian Bungalow style, it is important for its high degree of external integrity, in particular for its unpainted roughcast rendered exterior and stylistic detailing. Importantly, the building is representative of many subsequent baby health centres of the inter-war period built in the domestic style, a style which demonstrates a philosophical association between early baby health centre designs and the ideal suburban house, both traditionally perceived as the domain of women and children. The building is of further interest for demonstrating a concern for the health of babies by incorporating into its design good floor ventilation, flyscreens on doors and windows, a spacious verandah, and sliding, louvred window shutters.
The East Kew Maternal and Child Health Centre is of social significance for its enduring civic value to the community. As a baby health centre, the building is socially and culturally important for marking phases in the lives of mothers and infants. Designed to resemble a typical middle class suburban house in a garden setting, the purpose-built centre remains a symbol of domesticity and stability. The building of a permanent baby health centre was also symbolic of a culturally progressive caring society, a place associated with new scientific ideas, and professionally designed programs designed to improve the health education of women raising families in the suburbs.

Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power, Shared Presentations Stage 3, Thematic Arena 3, Opportunity petal, an IAEA Statement Event at the United Nations Climate Change Conference UNCCC held at the Expo City Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Blue Zone, 1 December 2023
The IAEA Event: Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power will highlight the crucial role of nuclear power as part of the energy mix. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mr Rafael Mariano Grossi will announce the ‘IAEA Statement on Nuclear Power’ supported by 40 countries, both those already operating nuclear power plants and newcomers. Together these countries acknowledge that all available low-carbon technologies, including nuclear power, should be recognized, and actively supported. The Statement underlines the benefits of nuclear power, including that nuclear power plants produce no harmful greenhouse gas emissions; that nuclear energy contributes to energy security and the stability of power grids; and that it mitigates air pollution at a local level.

Sections you would find there
A #statement of #CashFlow comes with three mandatory sections. We can call them as the primary section. There is a fourth section too, but it is of optional nature, and you can leave it blank. Leaving the fourth section blank is not going to put any impact on the facts mentioned in the remaining report.
Artist's statement for my solo show in the Buntrock Commons at St. Olaf College, shown from March 19th until April 10th, 2009. Work was produced during the month of January, 2009, as the final project in a month-long course Advanced Drawing course I took.
The statue at left by Pablo Machioli was placed at the site of the memorial to Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson in Baltimore's Wyman Park as a protest statement, and subsequently suffered significant damage that the police say was the result of vandalism. I've added to this image a depiction of two Baltimore Ravens players that were kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem at last Sunday's football game. The statue of Lee and Jackson was removed from its pedestal and was put into storage by the City some weeks ago.
These handmade pillows are the perfect statement for any couch (or chair).

Here and there small towns and big cities make their own display or host a traveling set of crosses, in which each marker represents 100 or 1000 aborted fetuses, for example. This is a powerful and persisting visual statement. Does the opposing position have something equally visible, though: something to show how life is different for the woman thus impacted?
