Tomado del libro: Xochimilco y sus monumentos Históricos.

Situado en el centro de Xochimilco ya que en torno a el ha girado una buena parte de la historia de pueblo. "Tanto a los conquistadores como a los evangelios, la construcción de esta iglesia les sirvió como punto de cohesión e identidad social, en cuanto que le permitió una armonía entre el indígena, el español y los primeros mestizos.

 

Xochimilco hacia 1524. George Kubler, en su libro: Arquitectura Mexicana del siglo XVI señala, que la iglesia y en convento tuvieron varias etapas constructivas que abarcaron desde 1530 hasta el año 1600. Para 1538 San Bernardino contaba ya con convento; hacia 1546 fray Francisco de Soto, uno de los once compañeros de fray Martín de Valencia, tomo la dirección y la supervisión de la obra; en 1585 se terminaron los dormitorios, la iglesia, las celdas, las viviendas y las dependencias. Para 1609 funcionó el colegio conventual de Xochimilco en donde se dieron clases de retórica, teología, artes y oficios.

 

Gran parte del dinero que se requirió para llevar a cabo la obra fue aportado por los indios principales de Xochimilco, siendo Martín Cerón de Álvaro uno de los más generosos .

Ante la escasez de frailes, en 1538, los franciscanos decidieron retirar los que habían en Xochimilco, dejando el convento como visita del grande de México. Los indios se opusieron con ruegos y llantos a esta determinación, logrando que se quedaran dos frailes para su convento.

 

En 1569 moraban en el convento cuatro religiosos que tenían a su cargo el adoctrinamiento de cinco mil indios. Cuando Fray Jerónimo de Mendieta fue guardián del convento, los indios del pueblo se agruparon por barrios en el atrio para adoctrinarse y contarse. Hacia 1585 el número de evangelizadores aumentó a seis.

 

La iglesia y el convento de San Bernardino tuvo trece pueblos de visita: Santiago Tepalcatlalpan, San Lucas Xochimanca, San Mateo Pochtla, San Miguel Topilejo, San Francisco Tlalnepantla, San Salvador Cuautenco, Santa Cecilia Ahuautla, San Andrés Ocoyoacac, San Lorenzo Tlatecpan, San Martín Tiatilpan, Santa Maria Nativitas Zacapan y Santa Cruz Acalpixcan.

 

Otro suceso importante de índole religioso se dio en el siglo XVII. En este siglo había fuertes diferencias entre los frailes peninsulares y criollos por querer ocupar los cargos mas altos, por lo que los criollos de la Provincia del Santo Evangelio, escribieron a Paulo V desde Xochimilco -en enero de 1614- solicitándole que los favoreciera con estos cargos. Lograron obtener un orden a través de la cual tanto criollos como peninsulares podían turnarse cada tres años en el provincialato y otras jerarquías.

 

En cuanto a los bienes muebles de San Bernardino destaca el retablo mayor de Xochimilco, que data del siglo XVI solo comparable en calidad con el de Huejotzingo, Puebla y del que se han hecho estudios muy detallados de su composición, y es considerado como una obra de gran valor artístico e iconográfico.

 

Por lo que toca a los retablos laterales tenemos el de Cristo, ubicado en el segundo tramo del lado norte. Data del siglo XVI; esta incompleto en su base y en sus calles laterales. El de la Sagrada Familia localizado en el segundo tramo del lado sur, corresponde a los siglos XVII-XVIII. El de la Virgen Purísima ubicada en el tercer tramo del lado sur, es del siglo XII-XVIII (no se encuentra en el lugar original y esta incompleto en su base). El de Cristo situado en el cuarto tramo del lado sur, data del siglo XVI - XVII. Otro de Cristo localizado en el quinto tramo del lado sur, corresponde a finales del siglo XVII (esta incompleto en su base). El de la Virgen del Carmen con las ánimas del purgatorio ubicado en el quinto tramo del lado norte, es del siglo XVII. El del Martirio de San Pedro situado en el sexto tramo del lado sur, data del siglo XVII-XVIII, este retablo fue hecho sin tener un diseño arquitectónico y no tiene columnas, arquitrabes ni frasos. El de la pasión de Cristo situado en el sexto tramo del lado norte corresponde al siglo XVII (esta incompleto y se encuentra en malas condiciones de estabilidad): El de San Sebastián Mártir ubicado en el séptimo tramo del lado, es del siglo XVIII. Sobre la historia de este ultimo retablo García Granados dice que en 1576 la población de Xochimilco fue afectada seriamente por el cocolixtle, por lo que Fray Jerónimo de Mendieta echó suerte para saber a que santo debían encomendarse, saliendo agraciado el Apóstol Santiago. Pasado un año y en vista que la peste no disminuía decidió encomendarlos a San Sebastián, con lo que el cocolixtle desapareció. En agradecimiento a estos santos les mandó construir sus retablos a ambos lados del altar mayor.

 

Tanto en el templo como en el convento existen pinturas, esculturas y tallas de gran calidad realizadas por grandes artistas. De las pinturas destacan las de Echave Orio, padre e hijo probablemente Simón Pereyns, Sánchez Salmerón Caravaggio y Francisco Martínez. Sobresalen las culturas de Luis Arciniegas y Juan Martínez Montañés.

 

La fina silleria tallada en cedro rojo, compuesta por seis sítiales divididos por brazos, así como los dos púlpitos que se encuentran en el templo, fueron hechos por el ebanista Juan Rojas en el siglo XVIII.

 

A finales del siglo XIX, el arquitecto Mariano Lezano construyó un ciprés de estilo neoclásico que cubría buena parte del retablo mayor. Años más tarde el arquitecto Roberto Álvarez Espinoza realizó unos estudios y elaboró unos planos con objeto de retirar el ciprés argumentando que éste tapaba el retablo del siglo XVI.

 

La década de los sesentas fue una de las más difíciles en lo que corresponde a la restauración del templo y del convento, ya que se realizaron en ellos intervenciones que afectaron tanto elementos arquitectónicos como a los retablos, pinturas y esculturas. Dicho trabajos se hicieron sin contar con un proyecto de restauración que científicamente apoyará los criterios de conservación y tampoco se consideró aplicar la tecnología más apropiada para cada caso.

 

Cabe señalar que en los años sesenta el atrio de la iglesia suscitó conflictos al quererse utilizar este espacio para otros fines. De hecho la esquina suroeste se encontraba ocupada por las escuelas primarias Vicente Riva Palacio y la Ignacio Ramírez, lo que dio pauta para que surgieran solicitudes en las que se pedía construir en lo quedaba del atrio un deportivo, y poder utilizar ese espacio para llevar acabo exposiciones ganaderas. De los dos últimos proyectos ninguno fue aprobado y hasta los años setenta. Las primeras fueron reubicadas quedando de ese modo el atrio libre de construcciones ajenas a su uso original.

 

... Complementar el exconvento franciscano de Xochimilco es situarse en la mística del encuentro del hombre consigo mismo, con el universo y con lo sobrenatural. ... Los alarifes lograron con su modestia una obra sobria realizada con ayuda indígena en sus acabados, fundiéndose el arte indígena y la cultura occidental, reafirmando así el nuevo pensamiento español. ... El conjunto guarda los cánones y la organización especial clásica de los conventos de la Nueva España: El Templo tiene vista al oriente y el claustro al costado sur, que lo protege de los vientos dominantes. ... El atrio es una típica solución americana .

 

Servia como espacio intermedio entre el interior y el exterior, para llevar acabo en el ceremonias que permitieran una gran concentración de gente. ... El espacio interior... Originalmente tenía techumbre y alfarje de madera, que fueron posteriormente sustituidos por bóvedas. Esto hizo necesario un nuevo entendimiento en el acomodado de su necesario un nuevo entendimiento acomodado geometría integrado estribos y botares a la estructura, destacando una cuyo forma de arco llamarían los estudios de "por tranquil o rampante", el cual sigue en empuje natural de la bóveda como si fuera caída de agua .

... cabe señalar que este tipo de solución estructural fue típica de Xochimilco, con la idea de reforzar las capillas y los templos, contra el hundimiento y desplome, ya que el suelo es altamente compresible y débil. ...El templo cuenta con una fachada en la que destaca la portada... un arco de medio punto, pilastras empotradas y enjutas, rematando a las pilastras una ventana coral de perfil mixtilínea. La fachada culmina con un almenado que la asemeja a una construcción militar; de ahí la idea equivocada de haber sido este tipo de conventos mal llamados conventos fortaleza. Casi al nivel del almenado se encuentra un reloj que muestra el aporte del siglo XIX. ...Hay que destacar los contrafuertes y arbotantes que flanquean la construcción porque representan el avance tecnológico de la época y el perfecto conocimiento de los materiales utilizados. La cúpula del templo, se terminó er. 1700... El doctor Atl nos dice "es probable que (sea) la cúpula más antigua de México y por una rara coincidencia la que parece derivarse más directamente del gran domo de Bruneleschi". ...Cada espacio al interior de las crujías es necesario imaginarlo con su humilde mobiliario de madera aparente o acabado con aceite de linaza, compuesto por una lámpara de aceite para iluminar el recinto, una cama de tablas y una especie de cómoda o ropero.

 

En la parte exterior encontramos la capilla de la Tercera Orden, compuesta por una sola nave de cuatro tramos que corresponden a finales del siglo XVII, cuya portada en cierta forma nos recuerda la porciúncula puerta de acceso lateral a la nave del templo principal, misma que guarda un significado especial para la orden franciscana.

 

El convento de San Bernardino muestra en su conjunto, con orgullo, la mano de obra de quienes lo pensaron y lo hicieron, convirtiendo en poemas sintetizados en su arquitectura.

Vincent van Gogh (1853- 1890) Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear 1889 Oil paint on canwvas

This famous self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh expresses his artistic power and personal struggles

Van Gogh painted it in January 1889, a week after leaving hospital. He had received treatment there after cutting off most of his left ear (shown here as the bandaged right ear because he painted himself in a mirror). This self-mutilation was a desperate act committed a few weeks earlier, following a heated argument with his fellow painter Paul Gauguin.

Van Gogh's fur cap secures his thick bandage and wards off the winter cold. Created in harsh conditions, this self-portrait demonstrates Van Gogh's determination to continue painting, reinforced by the objects behind him: a canvas on an easel and a Japanese print, an important source of inspiration. Above all, it is Van Gogh's brushwork and powerful handling of colour that declare his renewed ambition as a painter.

As far as I could tell, the storyline here was an argument over who was going to fetch breakfast, and who was going to babysit the two chicks.

O negócio é que eu não tolero mais que as pessoas usem o mesmo argumento de "Você não tem direito de dizer isso. Você gosta de Crepúsculo". Como se isso fosse mudar alguma coisa sobre mim. Eu já disse aqui o quanto eu gosto da saga e quanto ela significa para mim, de tal modo que já não tenho, a muito tempo, vergonha em admitir.

Driverless autonomous-ish buses. Several cities throughout the country have tried one or two of them and most of them soon concluded, nope. Astonishing as the technology may be, we won't be pursuing this any further. And then there's Monheim. Monheim being Monheim dove in head first and built a brand new depot and bought five or six vehicles.

 

It's been a while now that I wanted to take a ride on one of these, and now that I have, frankly, I really wonder which kind of application or market they are intended for. First of, they aren't truly autonomous. Not in Monheim at least. There's still a staff member required on board as a guard at all times. So any argument along the lines of saving personnel (compared to a normal bus) is out of the window right from the start.

 

The good thing first, as long as they work, which they did at least occasionally during my short test, they're a convenient mode of covering short distances the majority of people could walk, and some could walk faster in fact. If nothing else, then on rainy days at least. They seat up to six passengers and offer standing room for about the same amount, as long as nobody comes along with a wheelchair or a baby stroller. To make it short, those groups are about the only ones I could see really profiting from this technology. Except, not quite, more on that later.

 

The guard is technically only there in case something goes wrong. In that case, they have to grab a remote control - looks a bit like one for an RC toy car, only beefier - and drive the vehicle manually. At a reduced speed of 5 km/h maximum, instead of the normal 15 to 20.

 

And that's where the trouble starts. Unfortunately, it doesn't take much at all for the bus to determine something is wrong. A car parked too close to the road? Emergency stop. A car or a cyclist overtaking with too little distance? Emergency stop. A trash bin placed carelessly? Emergency stop. Presumably pedestrians getting too close, or a cat, or a pigeon... you guessed it. And those emergency stops are quite harsh. I could definitely see someone falling over if they were standing and didn't see it coming. Luckily the guard usually sees it coming and can warn the passengers. An elderly person who has trouble enough as it is, keeping themselves on their feet or their walking aid... frankly I can't see a chance they'll remain standing for the duration of the ride if it keeps doing that.

 

Once the obstacle on the road is cleared, the guard presses a button on the touchscreen at the front, and the bus resumes automatic operation. I guess in fully autonomous operation, the passengers are supposed to do that? Assess when the road is clear enough for the software and give it the go?

 

Further, considering that each vehicle costs about the same as a full size city bus, between 200,000 and 300,000 Euros, the economical argument falls apart even more. Speaking of the economy, I got my ride for free at least. They were just shutting down the system due to some technical difficulties, and my bus was on the way to the depot.

 

All in all, I have a hard time seeing this system as a meaningful addition to regular everyday public transit. Wherever this technology might be useful, assuming the permanent emergency braking gets eliminated, it'd have to be quite the niche application. Maybe clinics with large grounds. Or parks, cemeteries. Large parking lots, at an airport perhaps. Places where you go distances you'd consider to cover by bicycle, if you could reasonably bring one here. At least that second criterion, Monheim old town doesn't meet.

Tree Swallow; Handsome aerialists with deep-blue iridescent backs and clean white fronts, Tree Swallows are a familiar sight in summer fields and wetlands across northern North America. They chase after flying insects with acrobatic twists and turns, their steely blue-green feathers flashing in the sunlight.

It is the only explanation I can come up with for this garden design. An angry couple must sit with backs to each other and eyes averted from beauty... until they learn better and can walk the path to each other again.

 

It's a thought.

Franz Fuchs verübte Serien von Briefbombenattentaten sowie Rohrbombenanschläge. Während er selbst sich auf die Organisation Bajuwarische Befreiungsarmee BBA berief und auch sein Verteidiger argumentierte, daß Fuchs kein Einzeltäter sei, sondern als Mitglied der BBA handelte und somit "nur" Beitragstäter sei, machte der Staatsanwalt mit dem im Bild zitierten Satz klar, daß die BBA keine Organisation mehrerer Personen ist, sondern einzig und alleine aus Franz Fuchs selber besteht....

Franz Fuchs wurde verurteilt zu lebenslanger Haft in einer Anstalt für geistig abnorme Rechtsbrecher.

Um die lockeren Schrauben des Franz Fuchs geht es hier jedoch nicht und auch nicht um den Franz Fuchs im Fuchsbau, sondern um den zitierten Satz des Johannes Winklhofer geht es hier.

 

"Franz Fuchs is the BBA, the BBA is Franz Fuchs", said the prosecutor about the terrorist Franz Fuchs (series of attacks with letter bombs and pipe bombs), who claimed to be part of an organisation he called "Bajuwarische Befreiungsarmee" (Bajuvarian Liberation Army - BBA)

The prosecutor expressed with this sentence, that the BBA is not an organization of many people, that it only consists of one person, namely Franz Fuchs and that Franz Fuchs is a single perpetrator and not an abettor, as he himself and his lawyer claimed.

 

I use this sentence as an example.

Comparing the two sentences "weaving is living and living is weaving" and "Franz Fuchs is the BBA, the BBA is Franz Fuchs" it is clear that the first sentence means that when one is not weaving he/she is not living.

For months, the world has watched and listened to arguments and discussions about what the course of action should be in the Middle East by the rest of the world. The thoughts are complex and very complicated

 

Wadi Rum, ironically, was the site of Lawrence of Arabia's war and the backdrop for one of the greatest films ever made. Now, scenes like this exist, with tents being used by tourists visiting the quiet solitary sand dunes to see the sweeping views. This is a "must do" if you visit Jordan.

The star Sirius is a beacon in the dark night. It looks like a mother of pearl that Poseidon himself was in charge of cultivating and polishing to light the way for the intrepid sailors who cross the expanse of its seas.

Sirius is the brightest star in the sky visible from Earth, reaching a magnitude of -1.09. Located in the constellation of Canis Major, Alpha Canis Majoris (one of its official names), it is 8.60 light years away from us and forms an amazing double system, where its companion is very difficult to observe, since it is a white dwarf of magnitude 8.44. In this modest image, Sirius is accompanied to the left by the beautiful open cluster Messier 41 (M 41), with a small red star at its center. Below to the left of Sirius, three red-toned stars stand out. These are the beautiful Nu 1, Nu 2 and Nu 3 Canis Majoris.

Around you, you can see a sea of stars and there is a lot to say about them. I'll just say that when I was a kid, I used to ask my mom how many stars there were. While we looked at the dark sky of country nights, with great grace and mischief he answered me "sin cuenta" which, in Spanish, means that it is not possible to count and is pronounced the same as "cincuenta", which in English is fifty. So I, with a lot of effort and taking care not to get lost and count the same star twice, began the task of counting the fifty stars in that immense sky. At my young age, I knew that if I could get past that number, I would be ready to refute my mother's argument. In the end, I was contemplating her beautiful face her, barely illuminated by that immense starry sky.

Foto presa a la Patum Extraordinaria del setembre. La Patum SEMPRE es fa per Corpus (entre maig i juny), però aquest 2016 es va donar una 2ª Patum extraordinaria el setembre, en motiu del centenari de la coronació de la Verge de Queralt, patrona de Berga.

 

La Patum és la celebració més intensa i especial de Catalunya. Em falten paraules per poder-la descriure.

Those are the "male" giants of the town of Berga, showing their "arguments". They were built arround 1850-1890, and are part of the celebrations of La Patum. On the other side, the tradition of giants in the local festivities is found all arround Catalonia and Europe. In fact the giants, like the "dwarves" are an adopted element in the Patum, not being in the medieval core of the festival.

The Patum is a festival held in the Catalan town of Berga each year in Corpus Christi. It's a unique event in all over the World. It's so speciall that it's part of UNESCO World Heritage. It's origins are in the middle ages, although in its current form it dates from the last decades of the XIX Century. It beggins in wednesday of Corpus till sunday of Corpus.

Don't worry, it was short and not violent!

'Did you really mean that?'

Someone looks angry and now they are ignoring each other. Strife in the animal kingdom. Social distancing the old fashioned way

This is a nice illustration about "Truth" and perspective. Simply because of this photo alone, I could easily tell you that the Temple of the Moon (On the right side of the photo) is much taller than the Temple of the Sun and generally speaking, most people would merely accept it as true and leave it at that.

 

Then if you questioned me about it, I could tell you to look for yourself and to just have faith in what I tell you because, well this photo indeed proves my point.

 

But in reality, that would be a bold face lie and a manipulation of the facts which are; that the rock formation known as the Temple of the Sun (On the left side of the photo) is actually almost twice as tall as the formation on the right and only appears smaller because of the distance between them and my location as the photographer.

 

But if you're smart enough you should now be wondering which IS the truth? Because at this point I could use any argument I choose to prove that either rock formation is taller than the other. So what do you do? You go find out what is the "Actual Truth" for yourself.

 

For another perspective a tad closer to the truth look at this photo www.flickr.com/photos/10493531@N05/6331973021/in/photostr...

Remember life is all about perspective. Change your perspective by just a little bit and you begin to see more of what is actually the "Truth." Change your perspective enough and you begin to see the truth and the reality behind it.
