Wertheimpark – Nieuwe Herengracht.
Amsterdam Light Festival 2014
"Het Wertheimpark baadt in de gloed van een wolk stralende vlinders, die met z’n honderden boven de grond zweven in een continue vlucht opwaarts. On the Wings of Freedom is een interactieve installatie die werd bedacht door de Italiaanse ontwerpstudio Aether & Hemera.
De betekenis van de vlinder als symbool voor een complete metamorfose in een kort tijdsbestek is hier tweeledig. On the Wings of Freedom gaat over de indrukwekkende manier waarop de alomtegenwoordigheid van technologie ons als samenleving verandert en hoe weinig we daarbij stilstaan. Ga maar na: met een paar simpele handelingen op onze smartphones kunnen we deze vlucht vlinders manipuleren. We kunnen ze van kleur doen veranderen en, hun licht- patroon bepalen.
Tegelijkertijd gaat On the Wings of Freedom over de trans- formatie van een stad. De stad is een plek waar mensen voortdurend kunnen worden geïnspireerd, niet alleen cultureel, maar ook sociaal. Een plek voor onophoudelijke verandering en voortgang. De vrolijke fladderaars in het Wertheimpark zijn dan ook niet alleen een bron van schoon- heid en vermaak. Ze zijn ook een rappel, een waarschuwing: houd die verandering gaande. Het is waar Amsterdam op draait. Men zegt dat één vlinderslag een storm kan veroorzaken. Laat al deze vlinders bij elkaar voor een orkaan van licht en creativiteit zorgen.
Aether & Hemera (Italië)
De oprichters van de studio Aether & Hemera in Londen zijn architect Claudio Benghi (1971) en lichtkunstenares Gloria Ronchi (1975). Ze hebben beiden gestudeerd aan de Politecnico di Milano, wat Ronchi heeft gecombineerd met Brera Fine Art Academy. Hun doel is de esthetiek van licht te verkennen voor het creëren van zintuiglijke en interactieve ervaringen. Recente exposities zijn Noche Blanca in Bilbao (2014), Kinetica Art Fair in Londen (2013) en Vivid Festival in Sydney (2013)."

Proving yet again that no bike is ever truly "done", I flipped the stem on my Kogswell yesterday. It's an 80mm 6-degree stem from Velo Orange, so I got another couple of inches of rise, and approximately a 15% increase in fun. I'm now nearly totally upright on the bike.
Unfortunately, the change in position has also changed the rating of the Brooks saddle from "acceptable" to "verging on ass-hatchet".

Struggling over the impact of economic sanctions, Iran’s parliament has passed a stop-gap budget while it debates President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's latest full-year spending proposal.
It’s the third straight year the Iranian parliament hasn’t been able to pass a full-year budget by the March 21 beginning of the Iranian calendar and fiscal year. Western economic sanctions have cut Iranian oil exports by more than half over the past year, sharply reducing Iran's income and causing the nation’s currency to lose half its value over the past year.
“The government faces huge uncertainties,” according to Iranian-born economist Mehrdad Emadi from London’s Betamatrix consultancy firm. “This short-term budget shows that planning beyond 90 days has become impossible because of sanctions,” he added.
Ahmadinejad’s proposed full-year budget forecasts a 31 percent hike in domestic currency spending, reflecting the sharp drop in the value of the rial. The International Energy Agency estimates that Iran's oil exports may have dropped below one million barrels per day in January, from 2.2 million bpd in late 2011.
New economic sanctions imposed by the United States and European Union in the past year banned the sale of Iranian oil to Europe, making it difficult for other countries to pay for Iranian oil or for ships that carry it to get insurance. The sanctions were imposed over Iran’s nuclear program, which the West say is aimed at producing nuclear weapons. Iran insists its program is peaceful.
The approval process for the temporary budget will likely be hampered by the deep political divisions between the president and a parliament that has accused him of reckless financial management, which they blame for Iran's economic misery. Ahmadinejad, who is nearing the end of his second and final four-year term, has often quarreled with the Iranian parliament over economic policies, including cuts in food and fuel subsidies.
Economic sanctions against Iran continue to put pressure on the Islamic Republic to abandon its nuclear program, but so far haven’t succeeded in getting Tehran to reconsider their nuclear quest. The nation’s latest budget crisis reflects that economic pressure, so pray that the hearts of the Iranian leaders will be moved to reconsider the nation’s actions (Proverbs 21) and that – as a result – the world – and especially Israel – can avoid an armed conflict with the Islamic Republic over its nuclear program.

On Saturday, December 12, St. John Cantius Parish hosted its annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
The Festival, which originates in the Anglican Church, is a service of Christian worship celebrating the birth of Jesus. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus is told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir music.
At St. John Cantius, the Festival is traditionally celebrated after first Vespers of Gaudete Sunday. It is concluded with exposition and benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and is thus a splendid way for the participants to prepare for the coming of Christ on Christmas.

Continuing the theme... And testing my Kodak's long exposure/low ISO mode.
The detail that this camera can resolve is incredible. Obviously you'll have to take my word for it, I don't think flickr would like me to upload the full size files :)
Pride of the Clyde Bova IIG 9817 is seen about to pick up a contingent of shipyard workers from Scotstoun for the journey home.
At one time there would have been well over a dozen buses and coaches lined up on South Street at the end of the day, now there are just two which serve both Govan and Scotstoun yards.
USA, Chicago, IL, Sept 1, 2011. Organizations with strong community ties like the Lawndale Christian Health Center (LCHC) stand to be better able to serve their patients once many of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act become mandatory. Already stressing preventive care and a coordinated approach to patient management, including long-term monitoring of chronic problems such as heart disease and diabetes, Lawndale Christian Health Center is expanding its efforts with a new facility and a continuing investment in an underserved Chicago neighborhood.
Major building work started at Sherborne Castle in Dorset in 1122, at the order of Roger, Bishop of Salisbury, and the first phase of construction continued until 1137.
The top of a hill surrounded by a well-placed marsh was cut down and levelled upon which an elegant and spacious castle was built both as a defence and as the powerful bishop's palace. He was chancellor and senior advisor to King Henry I and he wanted his castle to make a powerful statement to any who might oppose the king's authority.
Roger fell from power under King Stephen and the castle was taken from the king by the Earl of Gloucester and was not recovered until the reign of Henry II. King John made alterations and improvements. King Edward I stayed here occasionally and King Edward III gave it to the Earl of Salisbury but the bishop of Salisbury re-asserted his claim to the castle and it was returned to the bishops in 1355.
Some changes were made around 1381 in the wake of the Peasants' Revolt but it appears that rioting tenants broke into the castle in 1450 [the time of Jack Cade's revolt] and burned part of the building while destroying manorial records.
The bishops leased the castle in the 16th century - latterly to Queen Elizabeth I - and she gave the lease to SIr Walter Raleigh. Raleigh made many changes to the castle including cutting away the side of the great tower or keep and installing huge windows.
The castle was besieged in the English Civil War and captured in 1645 by Parliament. Shortly afterwards orders were given for large sections of the walls to be destroyed [slighted] to prevent the castle's re-use.
The Digby family, who owned it, developed a new manor house, now called Sherborne Castle, next door and the old castle became a picturesque ruin in the grounds of the new building. It is now cared-for by English Heritage.
Continuing the project of cataloguing my wardrobe, here's a blue/silver top paired with a short, straight pastel blue skirt.
Accessories are pale blue head band, silver jewelry, natural hose, and blue patent pumps previously catalogued.
Finally, managed to complete something decent... I can show 360 degree without hiding... haha... but I won't be able to show inside out... there's still many knots here and there that I don't know how to manage... lol

Baby Steve Mwari is weighed at a local health clinic near his home. He’s getting regular check-ups and the nurses say he keeps putting on weight.
Thanks to the blackboard, provided by Christian Aid as part of a maternal and child health project, nurses are able to record the health information for their catchment.

Here are some examples of the crazy fronts. I like them this way. Would really look great with plain brown paper wrapped gifts, or gifts wrapped in newspaper! One the other hand, the backs, with their drab colors could look nice too with a primative country look, done with raffia . ...See next photo:
