My first look at the 6 piece Triplets Brave Doll Set. It was released by the Disney Store on Monday May 14, 2012 online and in stores, along with many other Brave merchandise. It's cost is $19.50 US. The set consists of the triplet princes in kilts as 4 1/2'' tall dolls, and the three bear cubs, as 4 3/4'' tall hollow plastic cases for the princes to transform into cubs. The prince dolls have arms and legs that are molded into fixed positions on their bodies; only their heads can move.

 

First I photographed the set in the unopened box. Then with the dolls taken out of the box, but still attached to the inner cardboard backing, which slides out of the box like a tray.

This year's first visit to Thorpe Park was today (May 5th 2016) and what a glorious day it was! However with only 3 visiting coaches, I also sought permission to visit the First School Bus depot adjacent to the theme park.

Demonstration video of the SNES Transformer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=583EZB93ZRc

 

This a slightly retooled variation of my LEGO Super Nintendo Transformers set, which was altered to have some of its principal joints removed to make it non-transforming. This was done in September while I was editing raw footage for my demonstration video, since I did this for the sole purpose of submitting my concept to LEGO Ideas. And basically, I wanted to submit an entry of a solid, non-transforming game console much akin to the official NES set from 2020, as the transformation function would be too cumbersome for average consumers – not to mention licensing issues with Transformers, as they're property of Hasbo. Unfortunately, after making these changes to my MOCs and shooting these photos, I prepared an entry to LEGO Ideas but was instantly rejected due to licensing restrictions with Nintendo as an intellectual property.

 

With that said, I decided to still release these photos of the updated console/accessories, since the new aesthetic changes are more accurate to a real SNES. For example, the dummy game cartridge looks more like a real SNES cartridge than the transforming version I built, since I wasn't confined to the usage of certain joint pieces which made the creations look wonky. Another set of joints I removed was the ball and socket set on the front of the console by the controller ports, and thus I fixed the little red light on the front left.

 

Maybe LEGO Group will change their minds and allow me to submit this as a model; I'd love to share this as a retail set.

Transformative Space

 

Enter a cathartic pursuit. The passage entrance was small and did not indicate what we were to experience—assessing the unknowns in space, shifting dramatically from concept to academic self-questioning to a deconstructed disorientation. I followed our seers upstairs, through multiple room scapes, and down corridors, to when and where I finally realised. I had to select which self-delusion was best for me. In hindsight, I have re-entered these rooms my entire life, and my disconnection between acting and actioning required resolution. To begin a transformation and build a manifestation of social-spatial exclusiveness. To play as one within this curated experience, as a spectator and participant. A paradox in finding meaning and fulfilment.

Lego Sideswipe - Masterpiece Brickformer (MB-03).

 

Fully transformable without removing pieces.

 

I started work on this before Soundwave and Nemesis but his transformation was so difficult that it took the longest to build. wrapping his arms (doors) around the front wheels was the biggest challenge. But I am most proud of the feet - as they turn into the seats when in vehicle mode.

This weekend, I made progress on Violet’s Journey, our animated fairy tale featuring Natalina’s art ducks.

 

These new mockups show what Violet could look like with a beaded skirt and a new pair of wings, against different backgrounds. For this prototype, I mounted an oval plate between her belly and the robot base, then loosely hung some of Natalina's beads, for discussion purposes. I then superimposed my green screen capture of this prototype against some of the nature photos we used for the first storyboard, as well as a simpler backdrop using silhouetted shapes and gradient lighting.

 

Our first goal for this test is to cover the wheels and robot parts below the duck’s belly, as they seem out of place for a fairy tale. To that end, we plan to create a beaded curtain, using necklaces from Natalina’s treasure trove of jewels.

 

The second goal is to make Violet more expressive, as the decoy ducks are static and can’t show their feelings very well. To that end, we’re considering giving her new wings that could flap in different ways to show a range of emotions. These wings could be laser cut out of white or translucent acrylic, backlit with neopixels and made to flap gently with a servo motor attached to the oval float.

 

Lastly, we are experimenting with different background styles, ranging from photo-realistic backdrops to simpler landscapes with painted shapes and lighting. These simple shapes could be cut out on cardboard -- or laser cut on thin wood: I now have tons of vector files to choose from, besides the chinese landscape I used in this test. Both the forest and the cave would seem easy to implement. This first mockup is very flat, but we can add more color and texture over the laser cut shapes, to make them more real.

 

What do you think? Is it OK that Violet is not floating on water like a normal duck, but hovering over the ground with a beaded skirt and twitchy wings? How do you like the new backdrop idea? I think this could work if we set it up in a magical world, with surreal landscapes not just photo-realistic nature shots.

A good father has a bit of a mother

 

La CEPAL ha definido la paternidad masculina como la relación que los hombres establecen con sus hijas e hijos en el marco de una práctica compleja en la que intervienen factores sociales y culturales, que además se transforman a lo largo del ciclo de vida tanto del padre como de los hijos o hijas. Se trata de un fenómeno cultural, social y subjetivo que relaciona a los varones con sus hijos o hijas y su papel como padres en distintos contextos, más allá de cualquier tipo de arreglo conyugal.2

La función de reproducción es del orden biológico y la compartimos con el reino animal, pero la función paterna es del orden simbólico.3 Los animales se reproducen instintivamente pero entre ellos no existe la paternidad dado que existen especies cruzadas que se adoptan mutuamente y mismas especies que se comen a sus crías o procrean con ellas. Por ende la paternidad es una institución humana cuya función excede lo instintual de la reproducción.4

El hecho de el padre sea el agente de la procreación no es una verdad de la experiencia directa. Existieron tribus que, a pesar de tener conocimiento de que una mujer no daba a luz si no había tenido un coito unos meses antes, atribuían la paternidad a una fuente, a una piedra, o al encuentro con un espíritu en lugares apartados. La calificación del padre como procreador no depende del hecho de que el ser humano haya reconocido una cierta consecución entre acontecimientos tan diferentes como coito y parto sino que es un asunto que se sitúa en el nivel simbólico.3 Los humanos pueden conocer muy bien que es necesario que un varón se aparee con una mujer nueve meses antes del parto y sin embargo no designar a ese varón como padre, el padre designado puede ser no solo un espíritu o dios sino también un hermano de la mujer, aún sabiendo que no ha tenido relaciones sexuales con dicha mujer. La palabra engendramiento designa la procreación masculina y no debe confundirse con filiación que es de orden simbólico y jurídico. La procreación es el hecho de producir y hacer nacer un niño o niña de un varón y una mujer o de gametos masculinos y gametos femeninos. La simple constatación de la transmisión de los genes nunca fue suficiente para identificar a un padre. Para el discurso jurídico la paternidad nunca se redujo al patrimonio genético y ahora que es posible constatarlo, paradojalmente, muchos menos. La paternidad incluye una función de autoridad, de cuidado, de protección, de nominación (pues da el nombre o apellido del padre), una función económica (que incluye la manutención de los hijos y la transmisión de los bienes y del patrimonio, del latín Patri=padre y onium= recibido que significa lo recibido por línea paterna, una función social, cultural, educativa (transmisión de saberes, enseñanza de los valores morales) y afectiva.1

 

El varón, a diferencia de la mujer, nunca fue definido por su paternidad o su capacidad de ser padre sino por su trabajo y su posición como productor y ciudadano. El padre siempre fue incierto y la paternidad menos evidente que la maternidad, sin embargo, a pesar de que sólo existía certeza de quien era la madre, los hijos, históricamente, siempre pertenecieron al padre presunto o presupuesto.

Según Monique Schneider

La cuestión política está íntimamente urdida en la problemática sobre la que se apoya la cuestión de la paternidad.5

Todas las sociedades occidentales y orientales conocidas en todos los tiempos históricos han sido patriarcales. La paternidad siempre dependió de la voluntad del padre.6 Ha dependido históricamente del consentimiento (o no) del varón hasta la aparición de las pruebas de paternidad mediante el estudio de ADN.

Aun así, en muchos casos continúa dependiendo de la voluntad paterna: en el caso de donación de esperma por parte de un tercero el padre reconocido es el esposo de la mujer inseminada y no el donante. Es decir, quien expresó su voluntad de ser padre lo será, por el contrario el dador del espermatozoide, quien no tiene voluntad ni dona paternidad, no lo será

 

En el caso de una madre soltera el varón no necesita su consentimiento para reconocer al niño. En todo caso será ella quien tenga que realizar una demanda para solicitar una prueba de paternidad y demostrar que ese varón no es el padre biológico del niño.

Un varón puede reconocer como suyo un niño que no es su hijo biológico y ser considerado su padre sin incurrir en delito (no sucede lo mismo en el caso de la mujer que si inscribe un niño ajeno como propio comete un delito grave).11

Las dos funciones primordiales de la paternidad, pater y genitor, son las de la nominación y la de la transmisión de la sangre. El fundamento de la definición de paternidad está en el derecho romano.

Here is what the artist Naomi says about this piece of art,

 

This mask was created for many coinciding purposes, but most importantly with the intent to

transform. Although clearly not a traditional mask, and indeed to the contrary, a mask that was

designed for war and, arguably, a tool of fear and genocide; it is my intent to recreate the mask

through art. By decorating the mask as I have, I seek to transcend the bleakness of its origin and

to breathe new life into its rigid man-made material through the real and symbolic act of layering it

with the organic life of the deer hide. In some way, the mask has been reborn with its own

power to transform; though perhaps not to transform the wearer into spirit, certainly to alter the

character of the wearer’s spirit.

See it better, tap on it… This is a hand held photo.

  

Getting ready for a hiking trip!

  

If you are one of my contacts, after your comment let me know. I’d love to return your visit sometime during the day .

  

I do must of all nature photography, and from time to time city life. I enjoy trying new techniques, and transforming some of my photos into something different and ( I think) artistic.

   

EXPLORE:

 

Also, I’m very proud to say that 43 of my photos made it to Explore, many are still on at 25, 14 and 52, still! If you’d like to see them, please go to my Explore set.

  

TO MY FRIENDS:

 

Flickr has giving me opportunity to meet a group of wonderful people. Thanks for making me feel so proud of what I do and love. You know who you are…

  

ABOUT GROUPS:

 

I would gladly submit my photos to the groups that would allow me to see their pages and be part of them. Please, don’t invite me to groups that will show my work once, and by invitation. I rather be part of a group that will allow me to choose my own material, and decide what to put and when. Remember, we are artists, and very temperamental ;)

 

MY THANKS:

 

Thanks for coming and for viewing my photos. I appreciate all comments, so leave one, if you want to.

 

Have great day, and enjoy the ride!

 

Martha.

TRANSFORME 7555 / DEPOT LEUVEN / PHOTO ANDRES BUSMAN

New Norcia.

The founder of this monastic town was Rosendo Salvado (1814-1900.) Salvado was born in Spain and became a

Benedictine monk, missionary and ordained priest from 1839. With Brother Serra he later sailed to Fremantle in January 1846 to set up a system of education for Aboriginal children. His mission at New Norcia was established in March 1846 and was named Norcia after the birthplace in Italy of St. Benedict. Hunger soon drove Brother Salvado back to Perth to give a one man piano concert to raise money for his mission. He returned to New Norcia with his bullock cart where he felled trees, ploughed, sowed and planted corn, vines for wine and established hives for honey. He set himself high standards of work which Brother Serra also met. The other monks were less able to work so hard. Brother Serra left the mission in 1848. Brother Salvado set about building an Abbey and a small village. He gathered the Murara and Victoria Plains Aboriginal people to the mission and began teaching them about Christianity. Through their spears and boomerangs he taught them the value and meaning of property and ownership. Soon his pupils were adept in animal husbandry, handicrafts, ploughing, horse husbandry and general farm work.

 

A papal decree gave Brother Salvado the title of Lord Abbot of New Norcia for life. After developing his mission for over fifty years Salvado died when he was visiting Rome in 1900. His remains were brought to WA for reburial in 1903 in the tomb of Carrara marble behind the altar in the church at New Norcia. His rule of New Norcia was followed by that of Abbot Fulgentious Torres, another Spanish brother. He brought with him eleven new recruits and set about transforming the mission station from a small village into a monastic town. He had erected two new boarding schools for the children of Catholic farming families and new accommodation for Aboriginal boarders. He added a campanile to the church. In 1904 he commissioned Teresian Sisters from Spain to run an Aboriginal girl’s orphanage. He invited Josephite Sisters to run the secondary college of St. Gertrude for Girls which was opened in 1908; and he enlisted the Marist Brothers to run St. Ildephonsus College for Boys which opened in 1913. Torres died in a Perth hospital in 1914 and was buried in New Norcia. As the mission expanded other services and structures were added to the settlement including a police station, a hotel, and a Post Office. They complemented the flourmill, the monastery, the abbey, the guesthouse, and the two colleges. Today the settlement also includes the museum and shop. You can walk around the complex and visit the cemetery and see the buildings or you can opt to join a tour of a particular building if available. You can join the monks for prayers in the Abbey Church at 12 pm (free) and you can have lunch in the New Norcia Hotel from noon or the roadhouse. Admission to the Museum, an essential place to visit, is $10 for concessions or $12. The Museum was formerly St. Joseph’s Aboriginal Girls Orphanage. Apart from the museum exhibits on Aboriginal education and the like, the art gallery part has some real treasures, including a cartoon by Renaissance artist Raphael. The European collection is mainly post Renaissance Spanish and Italian art but it has paintings by one Renaissance painter, Guido Reni 1575-1642. In 1986 the gallery was robbed and paintings damaged but they have all been returned and restored now. Such a collection of European art in the browned wheat belt of WA is so anachronistic and such a surprise. You can grab a map and do a 1.7 k walk along the creek if you want but the complex is large and interesting and takes considerable time for a mere amble.

 

Major Buildings at New Norcia.

The monastery. The current building is located on the site of the original 1847 monastery but it is now much changed and enlarged. This mainly occurred under Abbot Torres between 1903-1914. In the 19th century New Norcia’s Aboriginal population was often around 130 people but by the time of Abbott Torres (1903) this had declined substantially. He saw the need to revitalise the monastic community by adding colleges for farming boys and girls. New Norcia currently has about 10 monks and a workforce of about 50 people including members of several Aboriginal families who still live on the hill overlooking the Benedictine community. There is no access to the monastery which is where the monks live.

The Abbey Church. This fine building was made from local stones, mud plaster and rough-hewn tree trunks and wooden shingles. It opened in 1861 but has been added to several times. Abbot Torres altered the Georgian style of the church in 1908 by giving the façade a Spanish Baroque appearance. The church contains a massive pipe organ brought from Germany. Abbot Salvado’s tomb is in the church and the walls are adorned with European paintings.

St. Ildelphonsus Boys School. Opened in 1913 this boy’s college was of a simpler design than the girl’s college as the monastery was running low on funds by then. It is a revival of a Romanesque style with rounded windows, good symmetry and small turrets along the roofline. The statue in front of the building is of the founder of the Marist Brothers, Blessed Marcellin Champagnat.

St. Gertrude’s Girls School. This Gothic Revival building was opened in 1908. The Josephite sisters used the college as their convent as well. In 1970 the girl’s college amalgamated with the boy’s college as a co-educational boarding college, Salvado College. This in turn ceased operations in 1991. St. Gertrude’s is now used for weekend and conference accommodation.

New Norcia Hotel. Hospitality is an important part of the Benedictine tradition and the word “slave” on the front steps of the hotel means “welcome.” This imposing structure with a massive internal divided staircase was designed by Father Urbane Gimenez and built in 1927 as a hostel for parents visiting their children in either of the two boarding schools in the monastic compound. It is a great and atmospheric place for lunch.

 

Odeonsplatz statue of König von Bayern Ludwig I by sculpture Max von Widnmann was erected in 1862.

 

Ludwig I was king of Bavaria from 1825 until the 1848 revolutions in the German states.

 

Ludwig patronised the arts as principal of many neoclassical buildings, especially in Munich. He transformed Munich from a provincial backwater into one of the artistic capitals of Europe.

 

Ludwig had several extramarital affairs and was one of the lovers of Lady Jane Digby, an aristocratic English adventuress.

 

Another affair was the Italian noblewoman Marianna Marquesa Florenzi.

 

Ludwig also became tainted with scandals associated with Lola Montez, another of his mistresses. It seems likely that his relationship with her contributed greatly to the fall from grace of the previously popular king.
