"Complementing the Belkin’s program of artworks placed in public sites on the University of British Columbia campus is Jamelie Hassan’s billboard project Because…there was and there wasn’t a city of Baghdad, which has not been exhibited for more than a decade yet maintains its currency, will be mounted on the outside wall of the gallery" belkin.ubc.ca/

"Jamelie Hassan (b. 1948)

Because... there was and there wasn't a city of Baghdad, 1991

digital print on mesh flex

 

This work, located on the exterior wall of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, features a photograph Hassan took on her first visit to Baghdad, Iraq, in the late 1970s when she studied Arabic at the University of Mustansyria. The photo shows the colourfully tiled dome and minaret of the Haidar Khan mosque, and the text evokes Arabis literary traditions as exemplified in One Thousand and One Nights.

 

Hassan's billboard project was conceived in 1991 in response to the Gulf War, a conflict between Iraq and a United Nations sanctioned coalition of forces led by the United States. Within six months of the war's outbreak, hand-painted versiojs of Hassan's billboard were exhibited in the city centres of Windsor and London, Ontario. In 1992, it was displayed in downtown Vancouver at the intersection of Richards and Pender Streets. Although more than fifteen years have passed since the Gulf War, Hassan's evocative combination of text and image continues to resonate with contemporary politics.

 

Jamelie Hassan was born in 1948 in London, Ontario, where she continues to live and work. She has extensively throughout North America, Mexico, Cuba, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, and works as an artist, writer, curator, and lecturer. Her work frequently engages with contemporary political issues and themes of cultural identity. In 2001, Hassan received the Governor General's Award in Visual Arts".

I haven't done a doll thingy in forever so woo.

 

1. Favorite Disney Princess: Belle because of her love of books (I used to walk around school reading like her), her strength and who she is as a character. Though the collector side of me loves Ariel because who doesn't relate to Ariel's need to collect things that her father says is weird.

 

2. Favorite Disney Movie which includes a Princess: Beauty and the Beast

 

3. Which Disney Princess, not included in the official Princess cannon, should be added?: I dunno, like actual princesses like Giselle, Nancy, Kida, Ellowyn...

 

4. Favorite Disney Princess song: While I love Let It Go, I must say Part of Your World struck a chord with me as a child.

 

5. Which princess are you most like and why?: I would relate to Belle the most because I do want an adventure out there somewhere but I love my books a lot and I do admire Belle's ability to reject Gaston and seeing the inner beauty of others.

But I'm probably Ariel in that I would risk my life grabbing a bag full of useless junk from the line of a shark's gaping jaws, throw my life away for a guy with a nice pair of legs and assist in murdering a 50 foot woman zapping lasers at me.

 

6. Which princess dress is your favorite?: Belle's village dress because hey, it's a huge throwback to Dorothy's outfit in the Wizard of Oz.

 

7. If you could have any of the princess side-kicks in real life, which one would you want?: Maximus from Tangled cuz who doesn't need a sentient, dog like horse to wield swords?

 

8. What ethnicity or country would you like to see the next Disney princess from?: An actual Asian Princess please Disney. I'm still very annoyed that they added Mulan to the lineup because they needed an Asian character and that her addition to the line itself really goes against everything that her movie stood for. So yeah, a South-East Asian princess like Kaguya please.

 

9. Would you go see a Gay/Lesbian Disney Prince/Princess movie?: Disney has the reins on all of my nostalgia so heck yeah.

 

10. Favorite Princess Sequel?:

Cinderella III: A Twist In Time because wow, character development, a loving mocking of the original film, a great approximation of the film's art style and generally a great take on the original film and its setting.

 

11. Which Princess do you think had the best home life/childhood?: This was pretty hard since all of them had really tough situations happen to them either with abusive homes, negligent parents or society at whole keeping them back. But I gotta say Aurora had the best childhood since she was lovingly raised by her three 'aunts' who all ensured her safety and she then had a royal life to return to, with a hot guy who was her true love.

 

12. Which Princess would you most want to look like?: I just want to have Ariel's soft locks. If I lived my whole life with my hair drenched in saltwater I hope it's not as dead looking and dried out.

 

13. Most attractive Prince?: Prince Phillip is mah man, but Flynn Rider hoo boy makes me question that.

Because the main focus is on the side

...Because sometimes, it's the right thing to do.

Hôm nay đã bake thử tart dâu tây with creamcheese, thay vỏ chanh bằng vỏ cam vàng bào, mà lóng ngóng thế nào lại bỏ thiếu 30g bơ vào crust, thành ra bánh ăn hơi cứng, crust như kiểu cookie. Lần đầu bake với creamcheese thấy không mấy thiện cảm, creamcheese không gây vị chua mạnh mà vẫn hài hòa được như yaourt, lại còn đắt. Lần sau làm tart hoa quả sẽ chỉ chọn yaourt làm filling thôi. Ngon, bổ, rẻ :)

Last afternoon I was taking a walk with my camera in our city park. A pretty kind man stopped me and said it was a grey heron near lake and pointed me where. Unfortunately I had no zoom lenses with me. Today I decided to try to capture him after work. It was late and definitely ran on my scooter: I challenged sunset light and car drivers...all because of a bird (obviously hidden, but I found it! ;) )

The "Master of birds" will be proud of me! ;D

Decided to go out Saturday because the weather was supposed to be cooler, and cloudy. Well it was cooler 85f. But zero clouds. I swear I'm going to move to a state that has clouds.

 

Got to my first spot, and found out they have now fenced the entrance path to the spot. A GIANT field with a path leading to my spot is not completely fenced. forcing me to walk about an mile out of my way to get to the spot. Yeah, I could have easily jumped the fence, walked through and jumped the next fence. There was so much traffic in the area I could just walk around. I need the exercise anyway.

 

The long walk to my spot took me pretty close to one of my favorite bridge spots, so I decided to hike up a bit and see what was new. A few new pieces and a few old favorites that were still there, un-touched. Those are in today's upload as well.

 

Got to my spot finally. This spot has a homeless "issue" but I've had nothing but pleasant interactions with anyone who's approached me. Mostly I think they are just curious what I'm doing out there for 5-6 hours standing around in one spot. As soon as I say "the trains.." they always go "oh, cool." So every time I go there I always take inventory of all of the people who are out there so I know where to keep an eye out. Got there at like 10:15AM and I see a guy coming out from under a tree about 200' away. Moving slow, and carrying a box. Moving the box from one place to another, then another box, etc. I'm not worried about this person.

 

About an hour into my session, I see a guy walking along in the wash below.. Looks about 60-65, with no shirt, and is about as tan as you can get. This guy has obviously been in the desert sun for a while. After a couple of minutes he gets to me, throws out his hand and introduces himself as "Jeff". Asks how I'm doing and what I'm doing out there. I said "the trains" and he nods. Says he's headed up to the gas station down the tracks and up the road, and asks if I want him to bring me something to drink. "nah, I'm good", "OK, see ya'" Oh, forgot to mention, Jeff had a fixed blade knife about 12" long strapped to the front of his belt. I also carry a knife when I go out, just in-case so I understood his carrying of a knife and seeing it didn't faze me.

 

Spent about 4 hours at that spot, and hit up another spot on the way home and flicked some other amazing pieces.

Was a great day out, and I had fun. Isn't that what it's all about!!? I even managed to flick some pieces from some of my favorite writes I haven't seen before!

 

Also witnessed a procession of like 100 Honda Groms and other motorcycles rolling by: youtu.be/H4uLI_EupHU

Simply writing "June 15, 1896" before March 11, 2011 describes the costliest natural disaster ever world wide in great detail and by epicenter with the fewest number of characters possible. I prove it here. Click the link. I published the day that day "June 15, 1896" one thousand times individually before March 11, 2011 specifically for cunts.

That specifically is when the costliest natural disaster ever world wide occurred at the same epicenter as "June 15, 1896" in the same ocean as "June 15, 1896" with the same magnitude as "June 15, 1896" starting the same size tsunami as "June 15, 1896" striking the same shores of the same cities on the same island with the same thing exactly as last occurred on "June 15, 1896" killing the same number of dirty japs "Celebrating Shinto" instead of me.

Up for a... Pepsi-Cola? So, anybody wanna crunch on the probability of finding an almost undamaged soda can from the 1980's a few feet off the beaten path on a fairly common trail? It can't be very high. Interesting to note how the sun seems rather selective with what colors it decides to bleach, what with the red being completely gone while the blue looks untouched. There's probably a scientific explanation for that, but I like to think the sun is being a bit of a jealous bitch that doesn't fancy other's using its colors.

 

I can date the can by looking at the style of the opening used and the fact that it has a recycle symbol. Recycling was introduced in Sweden in March 1984 and the can opening was redesigned in 1989. So we have an age range for now.

 

I might be able to get further info if I can find anything on the style of the Pepsi logo on it. At least I know it's authentic since it's got the "PepsiCo" and their Swedish distributor's trademark on the back.

 

EDIT: Looking at the history of Pepsi's logo, this one is the pre-1987 style, so that puts the dating between 1984 and 1987. Progress!

 

Also discovered that Pepsi supposedly stopped using the full name, "Pepsi-Cola" on their cans in the 1960's, so I guess the Swedish division missed the memo.

Because I could really use one right now.........

Because the Consumer Pyramid is an artifact of material beings forcing their will into the Solar Consciousness, all of its various fragments have developed together... seemingly in balance, but each broken in its own way, when compared to the greater picture.

 

The Corporation

The Corporation developed as a literal representation of the division of labor and resources, but eventually became little more than a system obsessed with finding ways to limit any aspect of the natural Universe so they could package and sell it for profit.

 

Religion

Advertised as a spiritual communal and celebratory collaboration experience, Religion is mostly a social engineering system designed to celebrate a loving Universe, while simultaneously attempting to take advantage of it.

 

The Military

Is the enforcer of the system, and one of the last lines of defense that the Consumer Pyramid has. If they lose their Ethics, the society is screwed.

 

Everything At Once

Allowing "Everything" involves communication, and a Solar Consciousness that tries to explore every idea that occurs to it. As I stated earler, this is what I was told our Planet has been doing for a while. The main benefit of this is balance, while trying to move away from limits, so if something tries to stop an idea, the Solar Consciousness notices it and begins promoting that exact thing. It's a fun way to live, but can become very expensive to the material and energy, if not handled responsibly by the Sun.

 

As awareness increases in "Everything", it experiences an exponential growth process.

 

If we represent a sampling of everything possible, based on the ideas moving through the Solar Consciousness, and we are biologically built on the idea of creating something with only the best ideas, and we decide to build a culture based on the worst ideas, then all we are doing in the grand scheme of things is noise canceling ourselves. When our art and culture goes through Oblivion on the energy side, and enters the Solar Consciousness, only trivia will likely survive.

Because of political disruption we had to cancel our plans to take the overnight bus from Khulna and instead stayed on the boat for an extra day at Noapara near Jessore. As you can see, it was pretty stressful.

Drafted a new pattern for a top for Phoebe this morning. I am really happy with how it turned out. I want to make her a cute skirt to go with it. Maybe tonight when the kids are asleep. Still working on shop updates for Lati Yellow and a couple other sets.

 

Sorry for more Phoebe spam, I can't take just one picture of her! LOL

Wind.

 

Wind makes waves. Waves run perpendicular on the wind's direction. Windsurfing is always done half wind. Half wind courses lay parallel with the tubes the waves make at open ocean. Perfect. Pythogaros' law is also to be used. Next to Pythagoras, also Isaac Newton laws are used in the windurfformula: action equals with reaction, because there is no arm working between the two forces, or, no capsizing couple between to two forces.

 

High winds, big waves, big stable sailing spailboats imply energy.

 

Cars, next part:

 

Since the arrival of the clutch pedal, we have two types of drivers. One type knows nothing about this so-called double clutching and takes turns always in the wrong gear, while the revolutions of the engine are too low for the lower gear. The difference in revolutions of the engine and the revolutions of the gear box is settled by the clutch plates. This has an evil consequence, because all these ignorant drivers together are wearing out the clutch plates unnecessarily. Frequent replacement of all those worn out clutch plates takes enormous amounts of steel. And the production of steel is bad for the environment. The other type, mostly (old) truckers, rally drivers and racing car drivers, just use only the left pedal to put the gear stick in the neutral position, while they break with their right foot at the same time.

 

At the moment the the stick is in neutral position, the right foot measures the exact amount of gas, to drive up the revolutions of the engine, in order to equalize it with the revolutions of the gear box in the lower gear. Once this is accomplished, in a split second!, the driver pulls the stick instantly into the lower gear, without pushing the clutch pedal (slipping the clutch). Pushing the clutch pedal is not necessary anymore, because the two coupling plates have the same revolutions. This is actually the technique of motoring.

 

Procedure during breaking and taking a slow curve:

The clutch plates are disconnected, and for this the driver uses the left foot. At the same time the car is slowed down by the drivers right foot. The driver can not let go of the break, so that the amount of gas in the neutral position has to be realized by also the right foot. The small amount of extra gas in the neutral position drives up the revolutions of the engine, and because there is no traction right now, this amount of gas will leave the cylinders very much unburnt, and by doing so, it lubricates the cylinders. The engine becomes faster, and more efficient and cleaner as a result. As a consequence the engine also gets more power. This is caused by the lubrication between the pistons and the cylinders.

 

Getting into higher gears, during acceleration, is less complicated, because the revolutions of every next gear are lower. Take for example the changing of the gears during 100 km / hr, from third gear to the fourth gear. Let us assume that at this speed the revolutions of the engine in third gear are 4000 rpm and in fourth gear 3000 rpm. During the period that the gear stick is the neutral position, the revolutions of the engine drop, so that the moment of changing gears is a matter of paying attention. Or a matter of listening, as they did in early days. As soon as the revolutions drop from 4000 rpm to 3000 rpm, the driver pulls the stick instantly to fourth gear. And, once again, without using the clutch pedal.

 

Operating an engine properly is like loving your engine. Once motorists know that the actual competition is based on the driving skill, especially on curvy roads, then they can more easily hold back on the freeways. Because they will found out that pushing the gas pedal on straight roads is an act of stupidness and a misplaced showing off of supremacy. Let me give an example. In sailing boat races -regattas-, in where all comparators have the same boat, it is the skill and the intelligence of the sailors that matters. And, in a regatta with different sailing boats, each boat has a s-called handicap indicator. So, even when the biggest boat with the most sails has the line honors, the calculation on the hand of the handicap indicators decides who the actual winner is.

 

Learning this driving skill is to be done by using pen and paper. Note at each speed, in each gear, the rpm of the engine. To be seen at rev-counter the dashboard, next to the speedometer. For example: note in second gear, at 40 km / hr, 2500 rpm. In third, at 40 km / hr, 1500 rpm, etc. One will see that during normal driving the difference in revolutions between two successive gears is approximately 1000 rpm. The amount of gas, in the neutral position of the gear stick, during slowing down is therefor in most of cases is only around the 1000 rpm. When drivers learn to do this, the consequence is that the clutch plates no longer rub unnecessarily. This is good for the environment and for our health. Changing gears with too few, or too many, revolutions of the engine, with respect to the revolutions of the specific gear is an expression of contempt towards the environment and our health, because it shortens the life of the gear box. We therefore need to replace the clutch plates more often, and therefore we need to produce more steel, and this steel production is bad for the environment and our health.

 

And, when drivers know how to take a turn, they successively will find out the fun of it. They find out that it is not the size of the engine that matters, but the technique that is thrilling. When I speak for myself, I always dare the fast cars at curvy roads in cities at night. Half way cornering, they look perplex to my much smaller car passing them, because where they are always in the wrong gear, I am giving them the sound of the double clutching, which is the racing sound and the sound of the after burning in the exhaust of the amount of fuel given in the neutral position of the gear stick.

 

In order to master this original art of motoring one must firstly practice the (double) clutching procedure at low speeds during a lot of years. In cities and villages is the average speed of making a turn approximately 30, 40 up to 50 km/hr. Let us now assume that put the environment and our health at the top of our priorities. Then we can say, that only when a driver knows how to change gears without rubbing the clutch plates over each other, he /she is allowed to approach a bend with an higher speed than 40 to 50 km / hr. This way drivers do not need to change gears. And so there is no rubbing of the clutch plates. So, if we hypothetically assume that the environment and our health comes first, then this implies that one cannot drive everywhere faster than 40 to 50 km/hr in cities and villages, because only at these speeds drivers do not need to change gears. The result is then, that all cars just drive at a even speed. In addition, in the future it is then a small and easy step to adjust the traffic lights, so that the main stream keeps on driving. Even the speeds can be coordinated by means of a series satellites, which provide the motorists with exactly the speed to use.

 

Driving at these regulated / imposed speeds will cause us to pollute much less, than we do now. The motorists loose, as a consequence their freedom. And that is logical, because they have proved not to be able handle that former freedom. I think, that if people know that a large part of the emissions and greenhouse gas is actually not necessary, it is a small step to adopt a law by a majority of votes, which law takes away the freedom of the motorists. This law contains: everywhere in the city a maximum speed of 40 up to 50 km/hr, and everywhere around cities a maximum of 60 a 70km/hr, with the exception of the bottlenecks and merging lanes: where motorist should drive 120 km/hr. The use of cars in this way, becomes equivalent to public transportations. In this way the common people have the same destiny as the rich, with equality as a result and at the foundation of this new traffic law.

 

A great deal of green house gasses are made by the rich, by the people who do not behave themselves on the roads and by not developed driving skills. We live in democracies. We can now prove that motorists cannot drive properly. Before they can, a learning process is necessary. During the learning process, in which they learn to change gears without wearing out the clutch plates unnecessarily and in which learning period they learn that it makes no sense to precede / approach a traffic-jam at 140km/hr, it is wise to conclude that the driving speed has to be brought down, by law.

 

It seems clear to me, that every driver in urban traffic has to let go of the gas for making turns. Motorists then can take turns without clutching. This is possible, because of the current overcapacity of the engine contents. Third gear will stand for slow acceleration after each curve. Automatically, the motorists who wants to master the double clutching, do not need to slow down, break with the right foot and are therefore able to give a bit of gas with the right foot, in the neutral position of the gear stick, in order to try to equalize the revolutions with the desired revolutions in second gear. So, with lower speeds, a lot of drivers can master the skill of driving, and those who do not want to learn, just keep on going in third gear, before, during and after the turn. Slow speeds in cities mean less breaking, and less wearing out of the clutch plates. There will be less fine particles coming from breaks.

 

Over approximately twenty years there will be electric cars and on hydrogen running engines, and as the road network widens, it is possible the raise speed limit again. First of all, we need to know how to drive and that is acquiring knowledge.

 

It is, with this knowledge in mind, very stupid to approach a curve at high speeds, without knowing what to do during the taking of the curve. Most people still break abruptly, and they forget to give a measured quantity of gas in the neutral position of the gear stick, before they shift to a lower gear. The clutch plates settle the differences between the revolutions of the engine and the revolutions of the lower gear. Not only does this show a lack of inexperience, it wears out the clutch plates. Double clutching is not easy, but doable and very desirable.

 

Considered scientifically, it is agonizing to observe that the major part of the motorists can not see the simple fact, that it makes no sense to overtake each other during the peak hours, and that they not even know how to make a turn. Both on the freeways as in the city, the present driving behavior show a lack of inexperience and ignorance. In the interest of the environment we must learn. Technique have to be developed, instead of bruit strength. The only solution against wasting fuel and reduction of clogging is judiciously use.

Getting into higher gears, during acceleration, is less complicated, because the revolutions of every next gear are lower. Take for example the changing of the gears during 100 km / hr, from third gear to the fourth gear. Let us assume that at this speed the revolutions of the engine in third gear are 4000 rpm and in fourth gear 3000 rpm. During the period that the gear stick is the neutral position, the revolutions of the engine drop, so that the moment of changing gears is a matter of paying attention. Or a matter of listening, as they did in early days. As soon as the revolutions drop from 4000 rpm to 3000 rpm, the driver pulls the stick instantly to fourth gear. And, once again, without using the clutch pedal.

 

Operating an engine properly is like loving your engine. Once motorists know that the actual competition is based on the driving skill, especially on curvy roads, then they can more easily hold back on the freeways. Because they will found out that pushing the gas pedal on straight roads is an act of stupidness and a misplaced showing off of supremacy. Let me give an example. In sailing boat races -regattas-, in where all comparators have the same boat, it is the skill and the intelligence of the sailors that matters. And, in a regatta with different sailing boats, each boat has a so-called handicap indicator. So, even when the biggest boat with the most sails has the line honors, the calculation on the hand of the handicap indicators decides who the actual winner is.

 

Learning this driving skill is to be done by using pen and paper. Note at each speed, in each gear, the rpm of the engine. To be seen at rev-counter the dashboard, next to the speedometer.

The amount of gas, in the neutral position of the gear stick, during slowing down is therefor in most of cases is only around the 1000 rpm.

And so there is no rubbing of the clutch plates while they change into a lower gear.

So, if we hypothetically assume that the environment and our health comes first, then this implies that drivers may not drive everywhere faster than 40 to 50 km/hr in cities and villages, because only at these speeds drivers do not need to change gears and can learn the art of double clutching.

Measured and from above regulated / imposed speeds pollute much less, than such as we do now. The motorists loose, as a consequence their freedom.

We can now prove that motorists cannot drive properly and before they can, a learning process is necessary.

You see: the change of one single law / legislation, allowing the introduction of technology to allow retracting and extending, spoilers on cars, which may lead to reform of the major industries.

Conclusion, also printed at end on next page.

I now want to take you all the way. I want (and I know how the subject of this script: turbo windmills and spailboats) to generate energy by using the high winds, both close to the arctic areas and near where we live, spailcrafts and turbo wind mills, in combination the exploitation of the low wind regime by conventional wind turbines and conventional modern sailing boats. So, by combining the use of all sorts of wind converters, the wind is for use everywhere in the world and its operational window covers from 2 bft until 12 bft.

The wind is therefore now a reliable energy source. A reliable energy source was the reason of why the industrial revolution took off. Any wind, up to 12 bft, is to be converted into spinning axles, which produce firstly electricity, and in addition hydrogen, nitrogen and / or presses the ordinary air in pressure tanks. We then bring these gasses to where we live with special tankers,while these tankers are propelled with motors running on these gasses. Back home we use for example the hydrogen to drive hydrogen engines. If we now hypothetically assume that we can work with spoilers on freeways, then we have plastic autos that run on hydrogen, while the spoilers retract and extend with pressurized nitrogen. The oil companies now provide oil as a construction material for the construction of spailboats, turbo wind mills, ordinary wind turbines, ordinary sail boats, tankers, airplanes, cars, trains, buses anything that moves et cetera. The means of transport is particularly hydrogen, which has been generated close the arctic poles and brought to where we live, in plastic tankers and special wheeled carriers.

 

You must be aware that the energy source is endless, so that the huge motors for the big carriers can be fed with endlessly amounts of clean hydrogen and / pressurized air.

 

The condition for harvesting the endless energy source is to build turbo windmills and spailboats first. Then we have hydrogen in huge quantities. With endlessly amounts of hydrogen, we do not need oil for the engines, and so we can use it for making plastic cars, with retractable and extendable spoilers.

 

In my picture of the future, we no longer burn the oil and coals and natural gas. Neither do we need nuclear power.

The End

Or should I say The Beginning!

 

Because of the medium focal length used for this shot, it seems like The Washington Monument and The Capitol are so close. But, really they're about a mile apart from each other. You can see some of the cracks in The Washington Monument that may (or may not) have been caused by the East Coast Earthquake back in August.
