Autrefois considéré comme un vieux quartier décrépi à l'époque soviétique, Uzupis devint la résidence des artistes qui avaient jeté leur dévolu sur ce quartier pittoresque de vieilles maisons, à proximité immédiate de la vieille ville, trouvant assez de place dans les caves et greniers pour les ateliers. Peu à peu, l'effervescence artistique du lieu a transformé Uzupis en lieu de bohème, sorte de Montmartre lituanien. C'est ainsi que fut fondée la République d'Uzupis, avec ses citoyens, ses lois, sa Constitution, et ses dirigeants.
La Constitution de la République d'Uzupis comprend 41 points :

We grew celery last year and loved it so much that we planted twice as
much this year. It grew in quickly form when we planted in March. I
like to juice it and it is awesome in Wendy's gumbo and vegetable soup
stock. Celery is said to be good for lowering cholesterol and cancer
prevention. There are some mature arugula plans and young tomatoes

La iglesia de San Salvador de Cora, transcrito a veces erróneamente como Chora (en turco, Kariye Camii), está considerada como uno de los más bellos ejemplos de iglesia bizantina que pueda contemplarse en la actualidad. Tine su origen en un monasterio que se fundó en el siglo IV en una acrópolis en el lugar donde se encontraron las reliquias de San Babilas (obispo de Antioquía que murió martirizado durante la persecución de Decio) y 84 de sus discípulos. La iglesia del monasterio estaba consagrada a Cristo con el nombre de iglesia del Sagrado Salvador en el Campo. Cora se refiere a que estaba situada a extramuros de la muralla de Constantino (en el campo), cuando Teodosio extendió las murallas entre el 413-414, la iglesia quedó dentro y cercana a una de las puertas de la misma, pero siguió con el nombre de Cora.
Justiniano I empezó a reconstruir la iglesia alrededor del año 536 pero no pudo terminarse totalmente por un terremoto que se produjo el 6 de octubre de 557. El emperador ordenó entonces la construcción de un monasterio e iglesia de mayor tamaño, dedicando una de las tres capillas a María. En el siglo VIII, durante el período iconoclasta, sufrió grandes daños en las imágenes representadas. Sin embargo, la mayoría de lo que puede verse hoy día data de 1077-1081, cuando María Dukaina, suegra de Alejo I Komneno reconstruyó la iglesia de San Salvador de Cora en forma de cruz griega inscrita, un estilo aparecido en aquella época y que servirá posteriormente de modelo para las iglesias ortodoxas hasta el siglo XVIII.
El poderoso hombre de la corte de Andrónico II Paleólogo, Teodoro Metoquites, un intelectual de la época, añadió el exonártex y el paraclesion de la iglesia y dotó a San Salvador de Cora de mosaicos y frescos, estableciendo una historiografía cronológica religiosa. Esta impresionante decoración interior fue realizada entre 1315 y 1321. Los mosaicos son uno de los mejores ejemplos del Renacimiento Paleólogo. Los artistas siguen siendo desconocidos. En 1328 se produjo un golpe de estado en el que Andrónico II debe abdicar a favor de su nieto Andrónico III Paleólogo y Teodoro Metoquites es condenado al exilio en Didymoteicha en Tracia. Se las ingenia, dos años más tarde, para ser autorizado a volver a Constantinopla con la condición de que viviese como monje en el mismo monasterio de Cora, donde murió en 1332.
El edificio consta de tres partes principales: nártex, la nave o cuerpo principal de la iglesia y el paraclesion. El nártex a su vez se divide en dos partes: el nártex interior y el nártex exterior o exonártex que son contiguos. El nártex interior formaba parte de la construcción original. El templo tiene seis cúpulas, dos en el nártex interior, una en el paraclesion y tres en la nave. La cúpula más grande, de 7,7 m. de diámetro se encuentra en el centro de la nave. Los mosaicos y frescos son, por su calidad y cantidad, una de las obras pictóricas más importantes legadas por los artistas bizantinos. Se realizaron en la misma época de Giotto. Los graciosos movimientos de los personajes dan a sus representaciones una ligereza y elegancia incomparable, por otro lado subrayadas por una fresca coloración. Además la vasta gama de temas bíblicos dan una idea de la fuerza creadora de los maestros bizantinos a pesar del orden iconográfico impuesto. El tema principal de estos mosaicos, ricos en detalles, es la encarnación de Dios como hombre y la salvación aportada a los hombres. La resurrección de Cristo es el motivo central de los frescos del Paraclesion y viene a completar esta noción de salvación.

Earrings are now a major part of male fashion lifestyle. It is amazing how far we have come from male earrings being rebellious to it being a unique part of fashion and I must say, it is a beautiful trend. Today, most men put on various forms of jewelry to properly bring out their good sense of fashion lifestyle and almost all the time, it looks exceedingly good on them, I mean, why should women have all the fun. Men’s earring comes in different styles but the most popular of them all is the diamond stud as this goes with whatever fashion style you prefer.
Keeping all that in mind, this article is going to cover you need to consider when buying a diamond stud earring.
KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MALE AND FEMALE DIAMOND STUDS
A lot of people actually wonder about tis as diamond studs are items made for both men and women, so sometimes, it might be a bit hard to distinguish which is for which. The main feature to look out for when trying to spot the difference is the size and the color. In most cases, the male diamond studs are often bigger than the female diamond studs but per adventure you still can’t tell the difference then you should check out the color. When it comes to the color, seeing a stud with a metal such as rose gold used for the setting would most likely be for females since it is not really a metal used for men’s studs.
DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN WEAR DIAMOND STUDS
There are different ways one can wear a diamond stud as it all depends on your style and sense of fashion plus your personal taste. There is simply no right or wrong way. Just go with your own flow. But just in case you are looking for suggestions, check out what tips we have to offer below
SINGLE STUDS
Single studs can also be referred to as Solitaire and this is basically used if you are new to wearing diamond studs and feel like starting slowly. This stud comes with no form of side diamonds or embellishments. It is the perfect choice to go with if you are looking for an understated style plus it is a really popular style in the male fashion trend.
DOUBLE STUDS
Even though single studs are a more popular option when it comes to male diamond stud trends, the double studs’ option is fast becoming a number one trend. This is a situation whereby you have both ears pierced and have a stud fitted in each. But let’s say you decide to go an extra mile, you could get multiple piercings in the same ear. When you go to a retailer shop and decide to go for the double, they often tend to offer you two single studs instead of a pair which actually costs less. This way, if you get one ear pierced today and decide to pierce the other the coming month, you’ll know you already have a matched pair waiting for you. But this isn’t a must as you can still opt for the single stud if your planned earring budget is lower than the price of the double diamond studs.
KNOWING WHAT DIAMOND STUD TO GO WITH
Remember how we listed various differences between the female and male diamond stud. Well, the most significant difference which wasn’t listed above would be the cut and the carat. Just in case you have no idea what those are, don’t worry, we are here to guide you.
CHOOSING THE PERFECT DIAMOND CUT
When we say cut, we are basically referring to the shape of the diamond and when it comes to male diamonds, the two most popular are the round and the square cuts. Reason why these two cuts are the most popular is simply because they are relatively unisex, and they look good whether worn as a pair or solo. When it comes to picking a cut, the first thing you need to consider is your own taste and also the shape of your face as the shape of a stud can do a lot in complimenting one’s face. If you’re someone who has a round face, then the emerald cut also known as the square cut should be your first option but if it is the other way around which is you having a sort of square like face, then the round cut should be your first option. When you put these things behind your mind, you would most likely end up choosing a diamond stud that not only looks good but also compliments your face.
CHOOSING THE PERFECT DIAMOND CARAT
Picking of a carat is another race of its own. Most people often confuse the term carat as meaning the size of the diamond. You probably did too but carat is simply the weight of the diamond. With that in mind, you should know that the bigger the carat, the more expensive the diamond would be. There is a simple way to know and pick your perfect carat size, but it might sound a bit weird but here goes – your ear lobe.
You need to consider the size of your earlobe before considering what carat size to get as getting a large carat on a small ear lobe would drastically weigh down your ear and as well, getting a small carat on a large ear lobe would not exactly compliment your looks except you are going the almost invincible carat on my ear look. Your taste is also another factor to consider when it comes to making this choice.
CHOOSING THE PERFECT METAL COLOR
It is worth knowing that diamonds compliment any sort of metal they end up on. Keeping that in mind, you should look back at your taste and see what you already own as this would give you a sense of direction. Another strategy to use is the metal color of your wrist watch. Getting a complimentary color as your watch would make your jewelry fashion look more stylish to the public eye.

The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the two subspecies of the eastern gorilla. There are two populations. One is found in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa, within three National Parks: Mgahinga, in south-west Uganda; Volcanoes, in north-west Rwanda; and Virunga in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN. The other is found in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Some primatologists consider the Bwindi population in Uganda may be a separate subspecies,[3] though no description has been finalized. As of September 2016, the estimated number of mountain gorillas remaining is about 880.[4]
Gorilla taxonomy
Mountain gorillas are descendants of ancestral monkeys and apes found in Africa and Arabia during the start of the Oligocene epoch (34-24 million years ago). The fossil record provides evidence of the hominoid primates (apes) found in east Africa about 22–32 million years ago. The fossil record of the area where mountain gorillas live is particularly poor and so its evolutionary history is not clear.[5] It was about 9 million years ago that the group of primates that were to evolve into gorillas split from their common ancestor with humans and chimps; this is when the genus Gorilla emerged. It is not certain what this early relative of the gorilla was, but it is traced back to the early ape Proconsul africanus.[6] Mountain gorillas have been isolated from eastern lowland gorillas for about 400,000 years and these two taxa separated from their western counterparts approximately 2 million years ago.[7] There has been considerable and as yet unresolved debate over the classification of mountain gorillas. The genus was first referenced as Troglodytes in 1847, but renamed to Gorilla in 1852. It was not until 1967 that the taxonomist Colin Groves proposed that all gorillas be regarded as one species (Gorilla gorilla) with three sub-species Gorilla gorilla gorilla (western lowland gorilla), Gorilla gorilla graueri (lowland gorillas found west of the Virungas) and Gorilla gorilla beringei (mountain gorillas including, Gorilla beringei found in the Virungas and Bwindi). In 2003 after a review they were divided into two species (Gorilla gorilla and Gorilla beringei) by The World Conservation Union (IUCN).[5]
Physical description
Silverback of Ntambara group, in typical resting attitude.
The fur of the mountain gorilla, often thicker and longer than that of other gorilla species, enables them to live in colder temperatures.[8] Gorillas can be identified by nose prints unique to each individual.[9] Males, at a mean weight of 195 kg (430 lb) upright standing height of 150 cm (59 in) usually weigh twice as much as the females, at a mean of 100 kg (220 lb) and a height of 130 cm (51 in).[10] This subspecies is on average the second largest species of primate; only the eastern lowland gorilla, the other subspecies of eastern gorilla, is larger.[citation needed] Adult males have more pronounced bony crests on the top and back of their skulls, giving their heads a more conical shape. These crests anchor the powerful temporalis muscles, which attach to the lower jaw (mandible). Adult females also have these crests, but they are less pronounced.[9] Like all gorillas they feature dark brown eyes framed by a black ring around the iris. Adult males are called silverbacks because a saddle of gray or silver-colored hair develops on their backs with age. The hair on their backs is shorter than on most other body parts, and their arm hair is especially long. Fully erect, males reach 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in) in height, with an arm span of 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in) and weigh 220 kg (490 lb).[11] The tallest silverback recorded was a 1.94 m (6 ft 4 in) with an arm span of 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in), a chest of 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in), and a weight of 219 kg (483 lb), shot in Alimbongo, northern Kivu in May 1938. There is an unconfirmed record of another individual, shot in 1932, that was 2.06 m (6 ft 9 in) and weighed 218.6 kg (482 lb).
The mountain gorilla is primarily terrestrial and quadrupedal. However, it will climb into fruiting trees if the branches can carry its weight, and it is capable of running bipedally up to 6 m (20 ft).[citation needed] Like all great apes other than humans, its arms are longer than its legs. It moves by knuckle-walking (like the common chimpanzee, but unlike the bonobo and both orangutan species), supporting its weight on the backs of its curved fingers rather than its palms.[citation needed]
The mountain gorilla is diurnal, most active between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.[citation needed] Many of these hours are spent eating, as large quantities of food are needed to sustain its massive bulk. It forages in early morning, rests during the late morning and around midday, and in the afternoon it forages again before resting at night. Each gorilla builds a nest from surrounding vegetation to sleep in, constructing a new one every evening. Only infants sleep in the same nest as their mothers. They leave their sleeping sites when the sun rises at around 6 am, except when it is cold and overcast; then they often stay longer in their nests.[12]
Habitat and ecology

The mountain gorilla inhabits the Albertine Rift montane cloud forests and of the Virunga Volcanoes, ranging in altitude from 2,200–4,300 metres (7,200–14,100 ft). Most are found on the slopes of three of the dormant volcanoes: Karisimbi, Mikeno, and Visoke.[13] The vegetation is very dense at the bottom of the mountains, becoming more sparse at higher elevations, and the forests where the mountain gorilla lives are often cloudy, misty and cold.[14]
The mountain gorilla is primarily a herbivore; the majority of its diet is composed of the leaves, shoots and stems (85.8%) of 142 plant species. It also feeds on bark (6.9%), roots (3.3%), flowers (2.3%), and fruit (1.7%), as well as small invertebrates. (0.1%).[15] Adult males can eat up to 34 kilograms (75 lb) of vegetation a day, while a female can eat as much as 18 kilograms (40 lb).[citation needed]
The home range size (the area used by one group of gorillas during one year) is influenced by availability of food sources and usually includes several vegetation zones. George Schaller identified ten distinct zones, including: the bamboo forests at 2,200–2,800 metres (7,200–9,200 ft); the Hagenia forests at 2,800–3,400 metres (9,200–11,200 ft); and the giant senecio zone at 3,400–4,300 metres (11,200–14,100 ft).[12] The mountain gorilla spends most of its time in the Hagenia forests, where galium vines are found year-round. All parts of this vine are consumed: leaves, stems, flowers, and berries. It travels to the bamboo forests during the few months of the year fresh shoots are available, and it climbs into subalpine regions to eat the soft centers of giant senecio trees.[13]
Behaviour
Social structure
The mountain gorilla is highly social, and lives in relatively stable, cohesive groups held together by long-term bonds between adult males and females. Relationships among females are relatively weak.[16] These groups are nonterritorial; the silverback generally defends his group rather than his territory. In the Virunga mountain gorillas, the average length of tenure for a dominant silverback is 4.7 years.[17]
61% of groups are composed of one adult male and a number of females and 36% contain more than one adult male. The remaining gorillas are either lone males or exclusively male groups, usually made up of one mature male and a few younger males.[18] Group sizes vary from five to thirty, with an average of ten individuals. A typical group contains: one dominant silverback, who is the group's undisputed leader; another subordinate silverback (usually a younger brother, half-brother, or even an adult son of the dominant silverback); one or two blackbacks, who act as sentries; three to four sexually mature females, who are ordinarily bonded to the dominant silverback for life; and from three to six juveniles and infants.[19]
Most males, and about 60% of females, leave their natal group. Males leave when they are about 11 years old, and often the separation process is slow: they spend more and more time on the edge of the group until they leave altogether.[20] They may travel alone or with an all-male group for 2–5 years before they can attract females to join them and form a new group. Females typically emigrate when they are about 8 years old, either transferring directly to an established group or beginning a new one with a lone male. Females often transfer to a new group several times before they settle down with a certain silverback male.[21]
The dominant silverback generally determines the movements of the group, leading it to appropriate feeding sites throughout the year. He also mediates conflicts within the group and protects it from external threats.[14] When the group is attacked by humans, leopards, or other gorillas, the silverback will protect them even at the cost of his own life.[22] He is the center of attention during rest sessions, and young animals frequently stay close to him and include him in their games. If a mother dies or leaves the group, the silverback is usually the one who looks after her abandoned offspring, even allowing them to sleep in his nest.[23] Experienced silverbacks are capable of removing poachers' snares from the hands or feet of their group members.[24]
When the silverback dies or is killed by disease, accident, or poachers, the family group may be disrupted.[13] Unless there is an accepted male descendant capable of taking over his position, the group will either split up or adopt an unrelated male. When a new silverback joins the family group, he may kill all of the infants of the dead silverback.[25] Infanticide has not been observed in stable groups.
Analysis of mountain gorilla genomes by whole genome sequencing indicates that a recent decline in their population size has led to extensive inbreeding.[26] As an apparent result, individuals are typically homozygous for 34% of their genome sequence. Furthermore, homozygosity and the expression of deleterious recessive mutations as consequences of inbreeding have likely resulted in the purging of severely deleterious mutations from the population.
Aggression
Although strong and powerful, the mountain gorillas are generally gentle and very shy.[22] Severe aggression is rare in stable groups, but when two mountain gorilla groups meet, the two silverbacks can sometimes engage in a fight to the death, using their canines to cause deep, gaping injuries.[19] For this reason, conflicts are most often resolved by displays and other threat behaviors that are intended to intimidate without becoming physical. The ritualized charge display is unique to gorillas. The entire sequence has nine steps: (1) progressively quickening hooting, (2) symbolic feeding, (3) rising bipedally, (4) throwing vegetation, (5) chest-beating with cupped hands, (6) one leg kick, (7) sideways running four-legged, (8) slapping and tearing vegetation, and (9) thumping the ground with palms .[27] Jill Donisthorpe stated that a male charged at her twice. In both cases the gorilla turned away, when she stood her ground.
Volcanoes National Park (French: Parc National des Volcans) lies in northwestern Rwanda and borders Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. The national park is known as a haven for the mountain gorilla. It is home to five of the eight volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga and Sabyinyo), which are covered in rainforest and bamboo. The park was the base for the zoologist Dian Fossey.
History
Children on a farm near Volcanoes National Park
The park was first gazetted in 1925, as a small area bounded by Karisimbi, Visoke and Mikeno, intended to protect the gorillas from poachers. It was the very first National Park to be created in Africa. Subsequently, in 1929, the borders of the park were extended further into Rwanda and into the Belgian Congo, to form the Albert National Park, a huge area of 8090 km2, run by the Belgian colonial authorities who were in charge of both colonies.[1] In 1958, 700 hectares of the park were cleared for a human settlement.[2]
After the Congo gained independence in 1960, the park was split into two, and upon Rwandan independence in 1962 the new government agreed to maintain the park as a conservation and tourist area, despite the fact that the new republic was already suffering from overpopulation problems. The park was halved in area in 1969.[citation needed] Between 1969 and 1973, 1050 hectares of the park were cleared to grow pyrethrum.[2]
The park later became the base for the American naturalist Dian Fossey to carry out her research into the gorillas. She arrived in 1967 and set up the Karisoke Research Centre between Karisimbi and Visoke. From then on she spent most of her time in the park, and is widely credited with saving the gorillas from extinction by bringing their plight to the attention of the international community. She was murdered by unknown assailants at her home in 1985, a crime often attributed to the poachers she had spent her life fighting against.[3] Fossey's life later was portrayed on the big screen in the film Gorillas in the Mist, named after her autobiography. She is buried in the park in a grave close to the research center, and amongst the gorillas which became her life.
The Volcanoes National Park became a battlefield during the Rwandan Civil War, with the park headquarters being attacked in 1992. The research centre was abandoned, and all tourist activities (including visiting the gorillas) were stopped. They did not resume again until 1999 when the area was deemed to be safe and under control. There have been occasional infiltrations by Rwandan rebels from the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda in subsequent years, but these are always stopped quickly by the Rwandan army and there is thought to be no threat to tourism in the park.
Flora
Vegetation varies considerably due to the large altitudinal range within the park. There is some lower montane forest (now mainly lost to agriculture). Between 2400 and 2500 m, there is Neoboutonia forest. From 2500 to 3200 m Arundinaria alpina (bamboo) forest occurs, covering about 30% of the park area. From 2600 to 3600 m, mainly on the more humid slopes in the south and west, is Hagenia-Hypericum forest, which covers about 30% of the park. This is one of the largest forests of Hagenia abyssinica. The vegetation from 3500 to 4200 m is characterised by Lobelia wollastonii, L. lanurensis, and Senecio erici-rosenii and covers about 25% of the park. From 4300 to 4500 m grassland occurs. Secondary thicket, meadows, marshes, swamps and small lakes also occur, but their total area is relatively small.
Fauna
The park is best known for the mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei). Other mammals include: golden monkey (Cercopithecus mitis kandti), black-fronted duiker (Cephalophus niger), buffalo (Syncerus caffer), spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) and bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus). There are also reported to be some elephants in the park, though these are now very rare.[4] There are 178 recorded bird species, with at least 13 species and 16 subspecies endemic to the Virunga and Ruwenzori Mountains.[5]
Tourism in the park

The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) runs several activities for tourists, including:[6]
Gorilla visits - as of January 2015, there are ten habituated gorilla groups open to tourists, allowing for a total of 80 permits per day. Tourists report at the park head office by 7:00 for a pre-tracking briefing. Once tourists meet the gorillas they spend an hour with them.
Golden monkey visits.
Climbing of Karisimbi volcano - this is a two-day trek with overnight camping at an altitude of 3,800 m.
Climbing of Bisoke volcano - one day.
Tour of the lakes and caves.
Visiting the tomb of Dian Fossey.
Iby’Iwacu cultural village tour
The majority of revenue from tourism goes towards maintaining the park and conserving the wildlife. The remainder goes to the government and (around 10%)[citation needed] to local projects in the area to help local people benefit from the large revenue stream generated by the park.

S. Pietro ad Oratorium (Capestrano, AQ)
l ciclo di affreschi di S. Pietro ad Oratorium può considerarsi il punto di partenza della storia della pittura medievale abruzzese. Esso interessa l'intera zona absidale e si snoda tra l'arco trionfale, il cilindro dell'abside e il catino, dove rimangono solo scarsi lacerti. Il ciclo propone un soggetto piuttosto tipico della tradizione romanica ispirato ad un passo dell'Apocalisse (Ap. 19,4). Sull'arcone spicca al centro la figura di Cristo in maestà circondato dai simboli degli Evangelisti e dai due tetramorfi, sotto i quali si dispongono in due ali, i ventiquattro vegliardi dell'Apocalisse che offrono al Redentore coppe d'oro, "colme di profumi, che sono le preghiere dei santi" (Ap. 5,8). La figura del Cristo benedicente, esemplificata su un modello iconografico carico di ricordi bizantini, sta seduta sul trono gemmato e mostra nella mano sinistra il libro con i versi EGO SUM PRIMUS ET ULTIMUS. Nella parte superiore del catino absidale era certamente raffigurata una scena di "traditio legis et clavium", di cui rimangono visibili pochi frammenti delle figure di Cristo e dei due interlocutori, S. Pietro e S. Paolo. La fascia inferiore della conca absidale è occupata da una teoria di santi benedettini, caratterizzati dalla tonsura e dal codice contenente la Regola. I sei santi sono disposti ai lati della monofora absidale, tre per parte, e sono inseriti in nicchie dipinte, con arcatelle, colonnine e capitelli anch'essi dipinti, che incorniciano finti vani. Un brano interessantissimo è rappresentato proprio dalle finte nicchiette con santi, una rappresentazione molto efficace di fusione tra pittura e architettura. Gli affreschi vengono unanimemente ritenuti databili al XII secolo, cioè nell'ambito dei lavori di ricostruzione della vecchia chiesa longobarda, ricordati anche nell'iscrizione dell'architrave del portale d'ingresso (A REGE DESIDERIO FUNDATA ANNO MILLENO CENTENO RENOVATA). Le pitture murali di Capestrano trovano confronti stringenti con gli affreschi dell'abbazia di S.Angelo in Formis (CE), riconducibili al clima stilistico caratteristico degli anni di Desiderio, abate di Montecassino dal 1058 e committente degli affreschi. Le tangenze tra i due cicli sono molto evidenti a partire dall''iconografia bizantina del Cristo, seduto in maestà tra i simboli degli evangelisti e caratterizzato in entrambi i casi da un linearismo marcato utilizzato per delineare con forza i tratti del volto, gli occhi e i nasi in particolare, ma anche per segnare vesti e panneggi. Rimangono però non trascurabili le differenze tra i due cicli pittorici soprattutto nella diversità degli effetti plastici che nel ciclo capuano sono tesi a dare una rappresentazione più sofisticata e naturalistica della realtà. Gli affreschi di Capestrano sembrano invece aver operato una rilettura più schiettamente romanica di quel "manierismo bizantino", andando in direzione di una maggiore forza sintetica, orientata soprattutto alla resa grafica dei contorni delle figure con profili fortemente segnati. Anche la gamma cromatica è piuttosto povera, tutta giocata sui toni ocracei e rossastri interrotti solo dalle barbe bianche dei vegliardi. Altro confronto pertinente con il ciclo di S. Pietro ad Oratorium può essere considerato ciò che resta della decorazione ad affresco dell' XI-XII secolo dell'abbazia di S. Vincenzo al Volturno, casa madre del monastero di Capestrano. Alcuni frammenti di affresco, emersi dai recenti scavi che hanno interessato sia la riva sinistra del fiume Volturno, con la parte più antica del complesso, che la destra, con il nuovo monastero (XII sec.), hanno rivelato non trascurabili affinità con il ciclo abruzzese, soprattutto nella cromia e nel marcato grafismo, a sottolineare come l'influenza di quella "koinè" artistica detta "arte beneventana", che ha caratterizzato l'Italia meridionale nel passaggio dall'Alto al Basso Medioevo, abbia lasciato le sue tracce anche in terra d'Abruzzo.

Yarm Town Hall.
Pevsner writes "This is of 1710, brick, only two bays, with a hipped roof and square lantern. The ground floor of course was originally open."
Yarm War Memorial
"The question of a war memorial for Yarm was first discussed at a Parish Council meeting held on 5 February 1919. Councillor George Campbell, who just a month before had heard of the death of his only son on active service, chaired the meeting. It was resolved to call a public meeting for Wednesday 19 February in the Council School to consider what should be done.
At the public meeting Mr Hedley stated that he understood Mr J R Clapham had offered to build a new Town Hall as a War Memorial if it could be erected on the site of the existing structure. Mr Fawcett, on behalf of the Lord of the Manor, Mr Meynell, confirmed that there would be no objection to this scheme. After some further discussion it was agreed by 47 votes to 5 that the offer be accepted. At the same time a memorial committee was duly elected consisting of Messrs Clapham, Holt, Hedley, Campbell, Adamson, Fawcett and Whitwell.
By mid-April plans for the new Town Hall were ready for submission to Stokesley Council. However, a reaction set in against demolishing the historic Town Hall. This is evidenced by the comments of the Vicar of Egglescliffe in the Parish Magazine for April 1919:
Some of Yarms neighbours trust that their war memorial will find a shape that will not destroy a building which gives character to its street and is in harmony with its surroundings.
On 4 June 1919 a letter was read to the Parish Council stating that Mr Clapham had withdrawn his offer of the new Town Hall and the scheme proceeded no further. It was agreed to thank Mr Clapham for his offer and to ask him if he could suggest any other ideas. It was ultimately agreed that he would give to the community the open space at the top of Bentley Wynd known as Snaithsfield.
In the same month the new Rector of Yarm, the Rev Barnsley, was writing in the Parish Magazine that :
a fitting memorial should be erected this memorial should most fittingly take the form of a cross. A dignified and stately cross erected in a central position and built of warm red stone.
In view of the ultimate result it is clear that the Rector must have played an important part in the move for a memorial cross. In October 1919 Capt H T Fawcett MC presided over a meeting where it was decided to place a contract for a memorial to be erected on a site at the south end of the Town Hall with a Mr Seymour. The cost was to be £265 10s. 6d.
Within a few months the work was complete. There then stood by the Town Hall a tall octagonal double-cross of red scotch stone with the full names and ranks of the dead carved around the base, together with the words They are crowned with the garland of immortality.
At 1500 hours on Saturday, 12 June 1920 the memorial was unveiled by Sir Hugh Bell, Lord Lieutenant of the North Riding. The ceremony was attended by most of the town' inhabitants and presided over my Mr E R Whitwell. It began with the singing of the hymn Through the night of doubt and sorrow. Then the Methodist minister of Yarm from 1919 to 1922, the Rev James W Trevvett, offered a prayer with Rev Barnsley afterwards reading a short passage from Scripture. Mr Whitwell then said that he wished to convey to the relatives of the fallen the sympathy of the whole community. After reading the roll of ho nour the Rev Barnsley led those present in the following prayer: With bowed heads and grateful hearts we salute our glorious dead; may they rest in peace; may their memory never fade. Buglers of the 1st Thornaby Scouts then sounded the Last Post.
Before unveiling the memorial Sir Hugh remarked that:
When twenty years ago Yarm put up a simple memorial to those who went to serve their country in South Africa they little thought that within a generation they would be assembled to unveil a monument of a much deeper significance. The two things, however, are naturally connected together in ones mind and those who look at the history of the past half century, for instance, would see that the struggle in South Africa was in fact but a prelude to that much greater struggle which the early years of this century were to bring up. It seems very appropriate that the people of Yarm should erect in front of the South African War tablet on the Town Hall a cross commemorating the much greater service and more strenuous effort which the country was called upon to make from August 1914 to November 1918.
Rightly looked upon you should all regard this as a pleasurable occasion although the pleasure is of a sober and temperate kind, but none the less it is a pleasure to commemorate the great deeds of those whose services we are here to recognise. To me personally it was a great pleasure that those who had conduct of the proceedings had been kind enough to invite me in my capacity of Lieutenant of the Riding to take a prominent part in the ceremony.
When the war broke out, for a moment, but only for a moment I doubted whether the people of this country would understand what the issues were which were presented for the arbitrament of the sword. But it did not take long to make it clear to me that my fellow countrymen understood, as well at least, as I did, what was at issue. I think we can define that now without any doubt or hesitation. We stood in the first place for our own personal freedom in this country, we stood to protect ourselves from those horrors of warfare which, thank Heaven, this country knows but by repute, never for generations there having been a hostile invader on these shores. We stood however, for more than that we stood for the freedom of the world. In the bitter months that passed from 1914 until 1918 as the struggle swayed back and forth many of us were in terror lest that for which we stood should go under. Again I say, thank Heaven that sad fate did not befall us, and we came through victorious, having attained the end for which we set out.
I congratulate the people of Yarm on the fact that 350 our of the 1500 inhabitants generally every one of the adult males had contributed to the £240 raised to erect the cross. Through them I offer the architect my congratulations upon the way in which he has carried out his commission. I would also like to congratulate the architect and I hope that I might say thankyou on behalf of the people of Yarm for the assiduousness he has shown in perfecting his design.
In conclusion I was desired to convey to the gathering the congratulations of a body of persons who preserve a tender recollection of the kindness which they received at the hands of the inhabitants of Yarm. I refer to the Belgian refugees who you entertained in their hour of trouble. They have communicated with the committee and desire their thanks and congratulations be specially accorded to the inhabitants. I am glad to be the mouthpiece to convey to the people of Yarm that recognition of kind ly services rendered to the Belgians.
Then, drawing aside the Union Jack which covered the base of the memorial Sir Hugh said: I present on behalf of the subscribers to the inhabitants of Yarm and to their successors as long as this cross shall stand, a memorial of the Great War to the memory of our glorious dead and the Great War of 1914-1919.
Following the singing of the hymn On the resurrection morning the Reveille was sounded by ex-Bugler Hill of the 4th Yorkshire Regiment and the ceremony finished with the singing of the National Anthem and the laying of wreaths.
After the service the Rector, writing in the Parish Magazine commented that he felt
The ceremony of unveiling suffered from the shortness of the notice which preceded it. I should ha ve preferred it to have been a full military affair as certainly did the Lord Lieutenant.
The townspeople generally took greater issue over the double-headed cross design and therefore soon after the unveiling the cross was replaced by the one seen today.
During the early part of 1925 and again in 1930 complaints were received by the Parish Council about the bad condition of the memorial. These complaints were drawn to the attention of the memorial committee but on the last occasion to no apparent effect. Therefore, at the Parish Council meeting of 8 May 1930 it was resolved that the Council would take over the upkeep and general wellbeing of the memorial without responsibility for its design or situation.
After the Second World War the then Rector, the Rev C H B Barker, decided that there should be a tablet erected in the Church commemorating the dead of both wars. During 1948 he began collecting information and later an oak tablet was fixed to the west wall bearing the names of the dead painted on in gold. The tablet had been designed and executed by Ralph Hedley of Newcastle and was dedicated and unveiled by the Bishop of Whitby on 20 September 1952. The related service was conducted by the Rev Barker supported by the Rev Yates-Moore of Egglescliffe and Mr Hunter-Garbutt, a lay reader in Yarm.
In November 1961 the Rev Barker wrote to the Parish Council that
He then asked the Council if they could do anything to rectify these matters. Spurred on by this request the Council, at its meeting on 14 February 1962, accepted a tender from William Arrowsmith & Son, Monumental Sculptors of Redcar in the sum of £205 for cleaning the memorial and carving the names onto Broughton Moor Green Slate. The work was carried out by June.
It is not known how the names for the two wars were compiled. However it is clear that in the case of the First World War in particular there are a number of errors. Not only were names misspelt or wrong Christian names used but in several cases persons were recorded who had no connection with Yarm when they enlisted while others, deserving of some memorial in the town, were completely overlooked."! northeastengland.wix.com/yarm-on-tees/apps/blog

Considerado como un virtuosísimo guitarrista, no sólo de Argentina, sinó en gran parte del mundo es respetado por su talento.
El Festival de Barriletes Gigantes, considerado la tradición cultural más importante de este municipio localizado 45 kilómetros al occidente de la capital, califica durante el concurso además del talento artístico, a la agrupación que logra mantener en alto el mayor tiempo posible su barrilete. Participan en dos categorías: exhibición y voladores. Este año 2014 los grupos decidieron a fin de evitar polemicas no efectuar el tradicional concurso de diseños.
El calendario y santoral católico romano establece para esa fecha la celebración del día de todos los santos, mientras que el 2 es el día de los muertos. Sin embargo, el sincretismo cultural ha establecido la integración de estas fiestas a un período de 24 horas; se inicia con el amanecer del 1 de noviembre.
La tradición cuenta que los pobladores crean por medio de los barriletes un lazo de comunicación entre las almas de los seres queridos que han fallecido y que esos días visitan a sus familiares en la tierra.
La estructura cosmológica santiagueña, de acuerdo a la tradición oral, establece que el universo local se divide en dos niveles, el inframundo y el supramundo. El inframundo es la mitad del universo local que se encuentra debajo del nivel de la tierra; limita con el nivel del suelo el supramundo o cielo; el hombre camina sobre el límite superior del inframundo.
Durante el alba del 1 de noviembre el Dios-Mundo, señor del inframundo, permite que las almas de los antepasados deambulen por el supramundo; por los lugares que frecuentaron en vida, así como convivir con sus familiares. Ahí entonces la importancia de los barriletes, ya que constituyen el vehículo para que las almas pueda orientarse, encontrar y compartir con sus familiares. Es la vía de enlace entre los muertos, los santos y los vivos.
A pesar de que los organizadores del evento reclaman 115 años de tradición, entrevistas a longevos santiagueños indican que hace apenas 40-50 años que los barriletes se empezaron a hacer gigantes. Antes y desde siempre, la tradición de armar y volar los barriletes para poder hacer contacto con los “Adelantados” ha existido. Esta pasión por las tradiciones y cultura es trasladada a las generaciones de jóvenes que han tomado como propia esta tradición chapina única en su genero.
Esta tradición religiosa y cultural ha sido catalogada como Patrimonio Cultural de Guatemala mediante el Acuerdo Ministerial No. 654-99, emitido en octubre de 1999.
En el año 2005 se le otorgó al municipio de Santiago la Orden Nacional del Patrimonio Cultural de Guatemala, otorgado en el Palacio Nacional de la Cultura.

Considerado como el fringílido más difícil de ver y de fotografiar también es el más bello. Es una especie que tiene un acusado dimorfismo sexual (distinto color los machos y hembras), siendo la coloración del macho mas atractiva, al ser de colores más vivos en el macho y más apagados en la hembra, aun cuando en uno y otro sexo dominan los colores tostados y azulados, aunque el rasgo más característico de tan singular ave es su fuerte y poderoso pico con el que puede llegar a partir el hueso de una cereza.

I consider myself to be a passionate photographer & videographer.
My enthusiasm for photography started off as a natural flair of capturing my everyday surroundings in my own unique perspective. Over time as I started to travel more frequently to countries like Singapore, Dubai, Switzerland, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Spain, and many more, my artistic style developed organically as my mind expanded to diverse cultures and landscapes.
For more than five years, I have been capturing memories, portraits, nature, cultures, and urbanscapes, in different parts of the world.
I wish to share my lens with others so that they may see beauty and peace in the world from my perspective.
