As I enter my senior year, I'm proud to call Winthrop University my home for the past three years. I have made great connections, experiences, and memories and plan on making my last year the best it can be.

 

In the spring, blooms engulf the campus; making it one of the most beautiful places in the city. This photo, taken in early April displays the white and pink blooms of the various dogwood trees outside Tillman's clock tower. This image is just one showing of Winthrop's beauty.

 

Even though it was mid-day, I was able to use a single exposure by waiting until the sun was to the side of the building. This allowed for me to stand in the shade of the dogwood to capture the scene.

In addition to the lens flare effect (keyword, 'clock', I made this image black and white. I can't think of the name of it right now, but I believe I used an additional effect to give the image an 'old' effect

WIT: Last minute photo, it has been a very busy week. The eyes are mine, cut out of another photo. The hands of the clock represent both time and a smile. Why is it time to smile. Well the moving truck in last weeks assignment will soon be packed with my stuff and headed south. I guess the truck was a sign. Our house sold and if all goes well the wife and I will be moving to Tennessee. That left little time this week for PCA work, but still wanted to submit.

Clock on University Hall on the campus of Friends University in Wichita Kansas. Built in 1886-1888 for the new Garfield University. After years of financial difficulty, James M. Davis of St. Louis purchased the building in 1898 as a gift to the Kansas Society of Friends under the condition that the city of Wichita would donate land for a university. The structure is named for him. It is the largest of the public buildings designed by Proudfoot and Bird.

 

National Register #71000328. Added in 1971.

1554年,葡萄牙航海家在一幅世界地圖上,畫上一個像變形蟲的島嶼,標記為Fremosa;1584年西班牙船長航經臺灣時,首次在其航海誌形容這個島嶼為As Ilhas Fermosas(意為美麗諸島,Ilhas讀作'ilas),西班牙人後來繪製一幅地圖,將臺灣稱做Hermosa(艾爾摩沙);1624年荷蘭人來臺以後,則改稱Formosa──福爾摩沙,從此成為西方世界對臺灣的定稱。

最遲在1600年代,臺江內海的港灣一帶,已有一個約定俗成的地名叫做「大灣」;1603年福州人陳第寫作「大員」;莆田人周嬰寫作「臺員」。大灣、大員、臺員,在漳泉人士看來,都是同音異字。日本人稱作大冤、大宛,連橫將清代人傳述的「埋完」,演繹成為「埋冤」,也是同音異字。

  

p.49

 

1604年陳第〈東番記〉這樣描寫東番(臺灣)原住民:「家有死者,擊鼓哭,置尸於地,環以烈火。」將往生者的尊體以火烘乾,舉行葬儀;1650年代荷蘭文獻說,在今臺南一帶的漢人,治喪時請哭喪女來代哭。這是閩粵漢人從中國古制「代哭之禮」演化而來的習俗。

1603年,大明浯嶼水寨把總沈有容率軍抵達大灣(大員),征剿東番海盜,隨軍來臺的陳第,撰寫〈東番記〉,對於臺灣原住民族的生活樣態、社會習俗、婚姻喪儀等作了全面概述,成為臺灣第一篇民族誌;1627年,臺灣第一位牧師、德籍的干治士(George Candidius)抵臺,向新港、麻豆、蕭壠、目加溜灣、大目降、大武壠等西拉雅村社宣揚上帝之道,來臺16個月後撰成一部民族誌〈臺灣略記〉。〈東番記〉與〈臺灣略記〉同為17世紀初描述臺灣原住民的第一手文獻。

Joncker號從長崎開往臺灣,在魍港附近沙洲發生船難,70名船員僅15人生還,載運的75箱白銀、數百箱銅條全部落海。中國人長老聞風而來,請求自費打撈,臺灣評議會同意他們:每撈到15箱銀,分給1箱;每撈到10箱銅,分給1箱。魍港撈寶熱從此登場,一切在荷蘭士兵監督下進行,七、八年間鍥而不捨,陸續共撈獲七、八批,1654年9月底最後撈出兩門鐵砲、一個荷蘭錨、若干銅條,臺灣史上第一樁沉船打撈終於結束,沒撈起的約9箱銀、上百箱銅,永遠埋入魍港海底。

大明頒布海禁、核發船引、拒與荷蘭互市;日本禁教、核發朱印狀、宣布鎖國……,各種設限與禁制,都為海商、海盜、海防官員帶來無限商機。16世紀是海盜、倭寇的時代,閩粵、澎湖、東番等地是海盜生活圈。

豐臣秀吉於1590年統一日本後,開始挑戰以大明為中心的東亞國際秩序, 1591年致書葡屬印度總督,提到前年「半天連」(傳教士)來日本「魔魅道俗男女」,已予以刑罰,若有再犯,「可族滅之」;葡人若來日朝貢,「幸許商賈往還」。同年,豐臣秀吉致書西屬菲律賓總督,要求「匍匐膝行」前來朝貢,若是延遲,必加討伐!

西班牙人在北臺灣殖民,未如荷蘭人有計畫地發展農業,而必須到處收購糧食,多次與原住民爆發流血衝突。

1654年荷蘭人繪製一張《淡水與其附近村社暨雞籠島略圖》(今稱《大臺北古地圖》),是第一幅大臺北人文活動的紀錄與縮影;荷蘭人被鄭成功逐退後,1664年重返雞籠,試圖據此光復福爾摩沙,但最終不敵鄭經的攻擊,於1668年毀城撤去。荷蘭在臺之殖民畫下了句點。

1627年,新任臺灣長官納茨奉命赴日本江戶打開僵局,巴城當局訓令他要明白揭示「臺灣是荷蘭聯省共和國不可分割的領土,不容其他國家染指。」

「麻豆條約」是臺灣史上第一份條約,公司隨後以此為摹本,與全臺各村社簽訂條約,陸續將部落的主權移轉至公司。

1648年3月舉行的北路地方會議,使用了新港語、干仔轄語(Camachat,大肚番王轄區語言之一)、虎尾語及山地語(鄒族語)為通用語。一位鄒族Outwangh社(又作Pangalang,清代文獻作「枋仔岸社」)的長老朥士(Lassoerangh),需要經由三個翻譯員跟他交談。

1679年福建總督姚啟聖、巡撫吳興祚合奏,提議洽請荷蘭出兵,聯手滅鄭,然後將臺灣歸還荷蘭。康熙皇帝批了兩個字「依議」,福建當局遣使前往巴達維亞交涉,未果。

臺灣的稅,始自荷蘭時代的海關,1625年7月1日,臺灣評議會決議:從大灣(大員)出口輸往日本的貨物,一律課徵出口什一稅。這是近現代臺灣稅政的開端。

荷蘭人的臺式管理——今天先行敲鑼之後,貼出公告,自本日起,嚴禁所有漢人食用赤崁地區製糖用的甘蔗;所有人不得使用陷阱捕鹿,只許使用圈套;住在市鎮的漢人,在房舍的後頭養豬造成汙臭,應於八日內拆除,所有豬仔一律遷往第一漁場附近飼養,違者著依告示懲處。

1650年代的臺灣,天花、瘧疾、麻疹、熱病肆虐,諸神束手。在歐洲,14世紀起黑死病(鼠疫)大爆發,全歐洲形同煉獄,1656年德國人保羅.佛斯特(Paul Fürst)畫了一幅瘟疫醫生:配戴鳥嘴面具(見前頁),全身防護以隔絕傳染。其實,這一時期歐洲第一線瘟疫醫生,與臺灣的荷蘭時代外科醫生一樣,對傳染病束手無策。

  

p. 204

 

清代臺灣各種傳染病綿延不絕,三大民變(朱一貴、林爽文、戴潮春)期間都面臨疾疫肆虐,疫情嚴峻時,「十病五、六」;牡丹社事件侵臺日軍戰死12人,病死500多人;清法戰爭之法軍戰歿官兵,約有700人葬於基隆二沙灣,其中陣亡者約170人,餘皆染病致死,法國艦隊司令孤拔(Anatole-Amédée-Prosper Courbet)將軍也病死在澎湖。

荷蘭船醫在日本扮演了帶路者的角色。當年他們在臺灣束手無策的各種傳染病,到了19世紀末期紛紛有解;1896年,日本統治臺灣的第二年,臺灣總督府規定全臺兒童在一歲以前應接種牛痘,翌年公布「傳染病豫防規則」,從霍亂、鼠疫等傳染病展開防治,臺灣自此逐步推動公衛體制,逐步擺脫了「瘴癘之地」的惡名。

荷蘭人在臺灣興建二間病院,一為臺灣(大員)病院,在安平古堡南邊,今第二公墓附近,主要收容入港的罹病船員、士兵。一為赤崁病院,主要收容貧病漢人。鄭成功大軍登陸時,土地測量員梅氏說他早上10點左右,「正在赤崁的普羅文西亞市鎮外的中國人醫院,指揮幾個中國水泥匠建造大門。」中國人醫院就是赤崁病院,由文獻可知,病院與墳場(義塚/sterfhuizen)相鄰。

鄭氏時期,統治體制從「公司制」轉為「封建體制」,最高權力機關不是合議制的董事會、各級評議會,而是中央集權、一人乾綱獨斷。鄭成功設六官(吏戶禮兵刑工),另設察言司,稽察各文武得失。察言司的角色功能,與檢察官、御史的性質接近。

  

p. 216

 

鄭成功為了創造繁衍一個龐大的人群社會,派出軍鎮分赴全臺各地,進行土地測量、繪圖、屯墾,預定分配每個將官一塊領地,每塊領地的南北距離約45公里……

康熙帝深恐臺灣的開發將為福建帶來「無窮之患」,而採取消極治臺政策,但民間的拓墾持續不斷, ……康雍年間,八堡圳、隆恩圳、道將圳、貓霧圳等陸續開鑿,水田化運動加速了土地開發,也讓稻米取代荷、鄭時期的鹿皮,成為臺灣最大宗農產品;西部平原從鹿場變成穀倉,臺產稻米「資閩省內地之用」,臺灣也因此逐漸淡出了荷、鄭時期的亞洲貿易網絡,脫離轉口貿易、國際貿易體系,轉型為大清帝國國內經濟、沿海經濟的一環。

  

p. 229

 

1661年2月康熙帝繼位,當時是荷蘭人在臺統治的最後一年,翌年即被鄭成功逐退。鄭、清的政體都是帝王制,與「公司制」迥然有別,荷蘭東印度公司雖在1799年關閉,由荷蘭政府接管繼續經營,公司制卻開枝散葉,經過四個多世紀的全球實踐,演化成「專業經理人接班」的機制,相當程度地貼近現代民主制度「選賢與能」的精神。

根據1650年代在臺任職的蘇格蘭人萊特的記載,在今臺南一帶,漢人尊奉的神祇有72位,媽祖排名第39,稱為娘媽(Nioma),又稱媽祖,名次在臨水夫人婆祖(Potsou)、觀音媽(Quamina)之後。似乎早期臺灣的媽祖信仰並不普遍。鄭氏時期,奉祀媽祖的寺廟與香火亦有限;寧靖王朱術桂於1683年7月自縊殉國之前,將王府捐出,改做天妃宮(今大天后宮)。

  

p. 261

 

1633年奉命征討小琉球島的荷蘭司令官Claes Bruyn,記載小琉球人與漢人有一種罕見的「沉默貿易」:每年1-2月烏魚季節,漢人來小琉球島,以各種不值錢的小東西,交換島人的椰子。以物易物時,不碰面、不討價,漢人在海邊放好東西後走開,島民拿來相當數量的椰子放在一邊,然後走開;漢人若願交易,就拿走椰子;若不願意,便取回己物。

  

p. 267

 

荷人從臺灣將鹿皮、糖以及從中國轉口的絲貨等輸往日本,換取白銀、里爾運來臺灣,再以白銀、里爾向中國購買絲綢、瓷器、黃金,一部分銷往日本,一部分銷往南洋。大航海時代伴隨而來的國際貿易,促成東西方銀幣、銅錢、黃金、白銀(銀錠)等在東亞地區流通;在臺灣,明、荷、西、鄭、清各式貨幣,包括:里爾、荷盾(Florin)、明代及清代通寶等,相繼登場。

  

p. 275

 

漢人的庶民文化,包括生命禮俗、歲時節慶、食衣住行等,在鄭氏時期全面移入臺灣,每年歲時節慶如:清明掃墓、端午競渡、中秋賞月、除夕辭歲圍爐等,都從原鄉搬來。

廣義來說,1550年代以後來臺灣的,都是外來移民。但移民的樣態不一,對於冒險家鄭成功而言,「繁衍一個龐大的人群社會」是一項艱鉅的殖民(移民)事業;對流亡皇室、文人而言,他們的身分是遺民;對海盜、羅漢腳、難民而言,是大明、大清的棄民。臺灣第一個漢人政權,以及後續的幾個政權,都交織揉合了殖民(移民)、遺民、棄民等多重元素。

Bill Haley - Rock Around The Clock

The clock in Grand Central Terminal (Station) New York, USA.

 

The Main Concourse is the center of Grand Central. The space is cavernous – 275 ft (84 m) long, 120 ft (37 m) wide and 125 ft (38 m) high[12] – and usually filled with bustling crowds. The ticket booths are located in the Concourse, although many now stand unused or repurposed since the introduction of ticket vending machines. The large American flag was hung in Grand Central Terminal a few days after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The main information booth is in the center of the concourse. This is a perennial meeting place, and the four-faced clock on top of the information booth is perhaps the most recognizable icon of Grand Central. Each of the four clock faces is made from opal, and both Sotheby's and Christie's have estimated the value to be between $10 million and $20 million. Within the marble and brass pagoda lies a "secret" door that conceals a spiral staircase leading to the lower level information booth.
