Unity, By Simon Donovan and Ben Olmstead, Tucson, AZ
"For the Grant Road Improvement Project Phase 2, Simon Donovan & Ben Olmstead were selected to complete artwork for the project. The sculpture they created is called Unity and is comprised of five figures, three female, two male. Each one is approximately 10 feet tall. They stand in a circle facing outward, holding hands and leaning far forward. They would tumble forward if not for the cooperation, trust, and collective effort that is required in forming an unbroken ring. Thus the title "Unity".
"The sculpture is made of hundreds of parallel, vertically aligned stainless steel plates, each held 1 inch apart. The result is a study of figures with a shifting perception of form as one moves around the sculpture. Additionally, it will be illuminated with amber colored LED lights at night."
In 2009, the Rhondda Cynon Taff local authority, in conjunction with the Arts Council of Wales, erected a new piece of public sculpture just outside Pontypridd. Christened Unity, the sculpture stands on land beside the Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, and is intended to bring new visitors into one of South Wales' most exploited and neglected former mining towns. The sculpture represents three aspects of Pontypridd's heritage: the town's famous bridge, the mines that populated the town in the 1800's and 1900's, and the way that the British fleet relied on both coal and locally-manufactured chains.
Unity or Lunacy? You decide.
The sculpture is largely invisible to anyone travelling up the major road from Cardiff until you've passed the turn-off for Pontypridd, which limits its ability to draw passing tourists into the town. In common with both RCT and Cardiff's local authority, there's no memory of the Glamorganshire Canal incorporated into the sculpture - without the canal, the Chainworks would never have come to Pontypridd in 1816. And there's no incorporation either of the Taff Vale Railway, still in operation today and visible from the site of the sculpture.
Time will tell whether this piece of public sculpture will be an asset or a communist-red (as opposed to white) elephant for the town, but it seems unlikely to become as iconic a piece as the Angel Of The North.

Unity chalice:
Earth...clay
Wood...aspen collar
Metal...brass corners and feet
Water...water in glass container in bowl
Fire...lit tea light floating in water
Pyramid base gives it pyramid power and each face represents a season and a direction
Base of pyramid is square, corners and faces are triangles, bowl is round bringing in the cosmic shapes of Triangle Circle and Square.
Base of pyramid is green which represents abundance
Aspen collar adds a colorado home feeling
Tradtional Japanese Raku fired with Western raku twist. .... East meet West and old meets new
Kintsukuroi ....the crack which happened during firing is highlighted with gold as opposed to trying to hide its flaws
Body of pyramid is hollow with a false bottom to store away prayers, wishes, poems, ashes, bones
And other such relics.

I think this speaks for itself.
Soon to be released as Unity Core, a command line interface distribution 115MB in size using 10MB of total memory. But will it install? We've custom written an installer in bash based on Mandriva's installer so that you can boot to a cli live disk and install it. Available at a Unity Linux website near you soon.

What you really are is consciousness. In this consciousness, there are things that appear and disappear again. You are the ocean, where waves come and go again. Such waves can be anything. They can be a feeling, a thought, an emotion, a person, or an experience. They appear and disappear. Everything appears in you and disappears in you; what you really are stays untouched. The ocean will always be water, no matter how many waves there are. If this insight is accepted, you will notice the waves, rather than losing yourself in them. You are consciousness, and in that consciousness, a plethora of things appear. You also appear and disappear as a body/mind system. Even the idea that you are the chauffeur of that system comes and goes. What you really are is not‐two. Everything is one. Given the fact that every form of diversity is only imaginary, our true nature is unity and love. Enlightenment ● Paul Smit via 500px ift.tt/1JrLqdd

My mother and father first met here as teenagers in the early 1940s before my father went into the Army during the war.
Unity, Valiant. These were the first Valiant books I ever bought back when they came out. Fortunately now the pre-unity books are much cheaper than they were back in the 90s.
Unity is not an aspiration I am aiming for
It is already wholly here
Unity is an awakening to itself
That finds that I am one with the worst of man and the best of man
I am one with the midge and with the mountain
With the slowest and the quickest
With the cruelest and the kindest
With all and with nothing
I am one with everything
And that is why I MUST forgive.
