The Archibald Fountain, properly called the J.F. Archibald Memorial Fountain, widely regarded as the finest public fountain in Australia, is located in Hyde Park, in central Sydney, New South Wales. It is named after J.F. Archibald, owner and editor of The Bulletin magazine, who bequeathed funds to have it built. Archibald specified that it must be designed by a French artist, both because of his great love of French culture and to commemorate the association of Australia and France in World War I. He imagined its civic design and ornamentation developing to rival his dream city Paris. The artist chosen was François-Léon Sicard.
The fountain was unveiled on 14 March 1932 by the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Samuel Walder.
Classical tradition
Sicard was one of the foremost sculptors of his day, a classically educated artist, whose inspiration was derived, at least in part, from his study of classical Greek and Roman art and literature. In submitting his proposal for the design of the sculptural groups, Sicard wrote: "Apollo represents the Arts (Beauty and Light). Apollo holds out his right arm as a sign of protection, and spreads his benefits over all Nature, whilst he holds the Lyre in his left hand. Apollo is the warmth which vivifies, giving life to all Nature. At the touch of his rays, men awake, trees and fields become green, the animals go out into the fields, and men go to work at dawn.
"The ancient Pliny adored the sun, symbol of Life. It is on this account that I wished this figure to be the chief one in the memorial.
"At Apollo's feet the star of day is indicated by a semicircle, of which the rays spread out in jets of light (the rising sun). The horses' heads represent the horses of Apollo's chariot. Out of their nostrils the water will fall into the first basin, to fall from there into the second, and run away into the large basin.
"The large basin is divided into three groups. One represents Diana, goddess of purity, of peaceful nights, symbol of charity; the ideal which watches over mortals - all that stands for poetry and harmony. The second group symbolises the good things of the earth - it is the young god of the fields and pastures, of the pleasure of the countryside. The third group represents sacrifice for the public good. Theseus, vanquisher of the Minotaur. The spirit triumphs over bestiality. Theseus delivers his country from the ransom which it had to pay to this monster. It is the sacrifice of himself for the good of humanity. Between these groups tortoises throw jets of water. The fountain is electrically illuminated and floodlighted at night.
"It depicts Apollo, representing beauty and the arts, on a central column holding out his right arm as a sign of protection over all nature. On the three plinths radiating from the central column there are figures representing Diana, the goddess of purity; a group representing the good things of the earth; Theseus slaying a Minotaur, representing the sacrifice for the good of humanity."
Interestingly, Sicard quotes Pliny as one of the ancient Roman sources for the modern understanding of the qualities supposedly represented by the gods. Rather than merely using the visual examples of works such as those by Pheidias, the iconic sculptor of classical Athens, whose free standing and frieze statuary represent the acme of the classical depiction of the human form in larger-than life bronze or marble, Sicard used literary sources to explain the symbology behind the form. The figure with the ram and goat is possibly Aristaeus.
His choice of classical figures was in keeping with the European tradition of the sculpture and architecture of the precinct of Hyde Park. There is no indication in the writings of Sicard, or indeed, in the appraisal of his work, that there was any intention to link the figures in the sculptural groups with any religious or sexual themes.

A Fellowcraft Mason who raises hope for a future Masonic generation in Bracebridge. R.W. Bro. Garnet Schenk, their lodge Secretary in the NE corner is the heart of the lodge.
Excerpt from: The Lost Keys of Freemasonry by Manly Palmer Hall, written long before he became a craft lodge Mason. Obviously made in his heart...
"The true Master Mason enters his lodge with one thought uppermost in his mind: "How can I, as an individual, be of greater use in the Universal Plan? What can I do to be worthy to comprehend the mysteries which are unfolded here? How can I build the eyes to see the things which are concealed from those who lack spiritual understanding?" The true Mason is supremely unselfish in every expression and application of the powers that have been entrusted to him. No true Brother seeks anything for himself, but unselfishly labors for the good of all. No person who assumes a spiritual obligation for what he can get out of it is worthy of applying for the position even of water-carrier. The true Light can come only to those who, asking nothing, gladly give all to it.
The true brother of the Craft, while constantly striving to improve himself, mentally, physically, and spiritually through the days of his life, never makes his own desires the goal for his works. He has a duty and that duty is to fit into the plans of another. He must be ready at any hour of the day or night to drop his own ideals at the call of the Builder. The work must be done and he has dedicated his life to the service of those who know the bonds of neither time nor space. He must be ready at any moment's notice and his life should be turned into preparing himself for that call which may come when he least expects it.
The Master Mason knows that those most useful to the Plan are those who have gained the most from the practical experiences of life. It is not what goes on within the tiled lodge which is the basis of his greatness, but rather the way in which he meets the problems of daily life. The true Masonic student is known by his brotherly actions and common sense.
Every Mason knows that a broken vow brings with it a terrible penalty. Let him also realize that failure to live mentally, spiritually, and morally up to one's highest ideals constitutes the greatest of all broken oaths. When a Mason swears that he will devote his life to the building of his Father's house and then defiles his living temple through the perversion of mental power, emotional force, and active energy, he is breaking a vow which imposes not hours but ages of misery. If he is worthy to be a Mason, he must be great enough to restrain the lower side of his own nature which is daily murdering his Grand Master. He must realize that a misdirected life is a broken vow and that daily service, purification, and the constructive application of energy is a living invocation which builds within and draws to him the power of the Creator. His life is the only prayer acceptable in the eyes of the Most High. An impure life is a broken trust; a destructive action is a living curse; a narrow mind is a strangle-cord around the throat of God.
All true Masons know that their work is not secret, but they realize that it must remain unknown to all who do not live the true Masonic life. Yet if the so-called secrets of Freemasonry were shouted from the housetops, the Fraternity would be absolutely safe; for certain spiritual qualities are necessary before the real Masonic secrets can be understood by the brethren themselves. Hence it is that the alleged "exposures" of Freemasonry, printed by the thousands and tens of thousands since 1730 down to the present hour, cannot injure the Fraternity. They reveal merely the outward forms and ceremonies of Freemasonry. Only those who have been weighed in the balance and found to be true, upright, and square have prepared themselves by their own growth to appreciate the inner meanings of their Craft. To the rest of their brethren within or without the lodge their sacred rituals must remain, as Shakespeare might have said, "Words, words, words." Within the Mason's own being is concealed the Power, which, blazing forth from his purified being, constitutes the Builder's Word. His life is the sole password which admits him to the true Masonic Lodge.
His spiritual urge is the sprig of acacia which, through the darkness of ignorance, still proves that the spiritual fire is alight. Within himself he must build those qualities which will make possible his true understanding of the Craft. He can show the world only forms which mean nothing; the life within is fo rever concealed until the eye of Spirit reveals it.
The Master Mason realizes charity to be one of the greatest traits which the Elder Brothers have unfolded, which means not only properly regulated charity of the purse but charity in thought and action. He realizes that all the workmen are not on the same step, but wherever each may be, he is doing the best he can according to his light. Each is laboring with the tools that he has, and he, as a Master Mason, does not spend his time in criticizing but in helping them to improve their tools. Instead of blaming poor tools, let us always blame ourselves for having them.
The Master Mason does not find fault; he does not criticize nor does he complain, but with malice towards none and charity towards all he seeks to be worthy of his Father's trust. In silence he labors, with compassion he suffers, and if the builders strike him as he seeks to work with them, his last word will be a prayer for them. The greater the Mason, the more advanced in his Craft, the more fatherly he grows, the walls of his Lodge broadening out until all living things are sheltered and guarded within the blue folds of his cape. From laboring with the few he seeks to assist all, realizing with his broader understanding the weaknesses of others but the strength of right."
This event brought together a panel of three leading economists—Thomas Piketty, Kevin Murphy, and Steven Durlauf—to discuss the sources of the rise in inequality in advanced industrialized countries over the past 40 years, the problems it poses, and effective responses. Nobel laureate James Heckman moderated the panel and guided the discussion.
This event was cosponsored by the Becker Friedman Institute, the Harris School of Public Policy, the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Global Working Group, and the Center for the Economics of Human Development.

Dogs are wonderful pets and play a significant role in our households. In order to maintain the happiness and health of our four-legged friends, we as dog owners wish to take every precaution. Sadly, rat poison poses a particular risk of accidentally poisoning our four-legged friends. Vitamin K supplementation is one of the possible treatments for canine rat poisoning. We will examine Vitamin K for Dogs' involvement in treating canine rat poisoning in this blog post and offer dose recommendations. It's critical to comprehend how vitamin K is used in dogs so that we can provide for them in an emergency. So let's explore vitamin K for dogs today!
How does Rat poison affect dogs?
Rat poison contains an anticoagulant called warfarin, which obstructs the blood-coagulating process. This can lead to a great deal of draining and death if left untreated. Ingestion of rat poison can cause side effects like nosebleeds, blood in the pee or stool, dormancy, and frailty.
How Much Vitamin K Should I Give My Dog for Rat Poisoning?
The suggested dosage of Vitamin K for Dogs with rat poisoning fluctuates according to the severity of the case and the size of the dog. In general, it is between 2-5 mg/kg of body weight per day.
It is essential to talk with a veterinarian before giving your dog any enhancements, as an excess of vitamin K can be destructive. A veterinarian will decide the right portion for your dog based on their particular circumstance.

Fire watch refers to manually monitoring property that is at risk of experiencing fire incidents. The fire watch guard is required to ensure that should such an event occur, all the interested parties and relevant authorities are notified. Fire watch is closely controlled by Chapter 15 of the National Fire Protection Association regulations. Here is more on the specific requirements stipulated for property owners and fire watch services alike.
1. Monitoring of Automatic Systems
One of the most important fire watch requirements revolves around ensuring that property is secured with automated monitoring systems. This includes things like smoke detectors, fire alarms, and automatic fire extinguishing sprinklers.
As a property owner, manager or even renter, you have to regularly inspect these to ensure that they are in good condition. The number of times or regularity with which you have the inspections performed is determined by jurisdictional legislation. However, the more often you have them checked the better.
2. Active Watch if Systems Are Down for More Than 4 Hours
According to the National Fire Protection Association, a manual fire watch should be instituted if automated watch systems are determined to have failed for more than 4 hours. This could be anything from failed alarms to clogged piping in the sprinkler system.
As you plan to have the systems back up and running, you are required to have acting fire watching round the clock. This ensures that should anything happen while the repairs are being done, a fire will not catch residents unaware.
3. Continuous Patrol and Inspection for Signs of Fire
Another one of the most serious fire watch requirements is that those involved in the fire watch must run continuous patrols. It could be that you get a group together to do it or you decided to go the professional route and hire a fire watch company.
Whatever the case, the National Fire Protection Association requires that the patrols be maintained until the other systems are completely repaired. The aim is to look for any warning signs of fire whether it is smoke, smoldering materials, or straight up fire.
This requirement is particularly important to implement on what the association refers to as hot sites. These are properties that, either due to their location or nature of activities performed there, are at higher risk of suffering fire incidents. Factories are the best example here. With these, the continuous patrol of every square foot of the property is paramount.
4. Must Remain in Effect Until Automatic Systems are Restored
Finally, the National Fire Protection Association requires that the patrols be maintained until all the automated systems are fully restored. It doesn’t matter whether it takes hours or weeks to do this. Once proper authorities have done their inspection of the systems and certified them as functional, you are free to call off the constant watch if you wish to.
Conclusion
After all is said and done, fire watchers are a real investment to any property. It doesn’t matter whether you are running a hot site at risk of fire or your automated systems happened to have failed. It is important to understand and comply with the regulations and fire watch requirements according to the National Fire Protection Association. This helps you stay on the right side of the law while also protecting your investment and saving lives.

Ranakpur is a village located in Desuri tehsil near Sadri town in the Pali district of Rajasthan in western India. It is located between Jodhpur and Udaipur. 162 km from Jodhpur and 91 km from Udaipur, in a valley on the western side of the Aravalli Range. The Nearest Railway Station to reach Ranakpur is Falna Railway station. Ranakpur is one among the most famous places to visit in Pali, Rajasthan. Ranakpur is easily accessed by road from Udaipur.
Along with magnificent architecture and numerous pillars, the place is also famous for large population of monkeys that live in and around the place.
Ranakpur is widely known for its marble Jain temple, said to be the most spectacular of the Jain temples. There is also a small Sun temple which is managed by the Udaipur royal family trust.
JAIN TEMPLE
The renowned Jain temple at Ranakpur is dedicated to Tirthankara Adinatha.
Local legend has it that Dharma Shah, a local Jain businessperson, started construction of the temple in the 15th century following a divine vision. The temple honors Adinath, the first Tirthankar of the present half-cycle (avasarpiṇī) according to Jain cosmology. The town of Ranakpur and the temple are named after the provincial ruler monarch, Rana Kumbha who supported the construction of the temple.
ARCHITECTURE
Māru-Gurjara Architecture show the deep understanding of structures and refined skills of Rajasthani craftmen of bygone era. Māru-Gurjara Architecture has two prominent styles Maha-Maru and Maru-Gurjara. According to M. A. Dhaky, Maha-Maru style developed primarily in Marudesa, Sapadalaksha, Surasena and parts of Uparamala whereas Maru-Gurjara originated in Medapata, Gurjaradesa-Arbuda, Gurjaradesa-Anarta and some areas of Gujarat. Scholars such as George Michell, M.A. Dhaky, Michael W. Meister and U.S. Moorti believe that Māru-Gurjara Temple Architecture is entirely Western Indian architecture and is quite different from the North Indian Temple architecture. There is a connecting link between Māru-Gurjara Architecture and Hoysala Temple Architecture. In both of these styles architecture is treated sculpturally. Light colored marble has been used for the construction of this grand temple which occupies an area of approximately 60 x 62 meters. The temple, with its distinctive domes, shikhara, turrets and cupolas rises majestically from the slope of a hill. Over 1444 marble pillars, carved in exquisite detail, support the temple. The pillars are all differently carved and no two pillars are the same. It is also said that it is impossible to count the pillars. Also all the statues face one or the other statue. There is one beautiful carving made out of a single marble rock where there 108 heads of snakes and numerous tails. One cannot find the end of the tails. The image faces all four cardinal directions. In the axis of the main entrance, on the western side, is the largest image. The moolnayak of this temple is a 6 feet tall white colored idol of Adinatha.
The temple is designed as chaumukha—with four faces. The construction of the temple and quadrupled image symbolize the Tirthankara's conquest of the four cardinal directions and hence the cosmos. The architecture and stone carvings of the temple is based on the Ancient Mirpur Jain Temple at Mirpur in Rajasthan.
The sun temple at Ranakpur dates back to the 13th century CE. After its destruction, it was rebuilt in the 15th century.
A temple dedicated to Suparshvanatha is also present here. The temple has an intrinsic architecture & this temple is also famous for erotic arts on the wall.
HISTORY
The construction is well documented in a 1437 CE copper-plate record, inscriptions in the temple and a Sanskrit text Soma-Saubhagya Kavya. Inspired by a dream of a celestial vehicle, Dhanna Shah, from Ghanerao a Porwal, commenced its construction, under the patronage of Rana Kumbha, then ruler of Mewar. The architect who oversaw the project was named Deepaka. There is an inscription on a pillar near the main shrine stating that in 1439 Deepaka, an architect, constructed the temple at the direction of Dharanka, a devoted Jain. When the ground floor was completed, Acharya Soma Sundar Suri of Tapa Gachha supervised the ceremonies, which are described in Soma-Saubhagya Kavya. The construction continued until 1458AD.
The temple was renovated time to time. Some famililies supported the construction of devakulikas and mandaps. The descendants of Dharanashah now mainly live in Ghanerao. The temple has been managed by the Anandji Kalyanji Pedhi trust in the past century.

Of the ten sephirot crystals, understanding is rather important for a society to come and accept each other they must know the way each other lives. Understanding the villain is the way the hero overcomes his foe and finally either converts him to good or destroys him for the good of all! Understanding is the way to friendship and unity as well as true fellowship, when we don't understand someone we will fear them completely or refuse to associate with them! Someone who opens up to all knowledge of the world and of the spirit he will be able to be at peace with them for as long as they accept him and he too in return!

Aging is an inevitable process that brings some expensive changes to health, and its first reflection is experienced through your face. Once the aging process starts the natural collagen peptide of the epidermal layer of skin begins to show decline phase, and this brings roughness and dryness. You would also experience the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, pigmentation and low moisture balance. Here the production of melanin starts to get reduced that causes pigmentation marks and dark coloring of skin as well. www.nutratrials.com/understanding-the-theory-behind-skin-...
