Der Metzgermeister
Heute treff ich einen Herrn
Der hat mich zum Fressen gern
Weiche Teile und auch harte
Stehen auf der Speisekarte
Denn du bist was du isst
Und ihr wisst was es ist
Es ist mein Teil - nein
Mein Teil - nein
Denn das ist mein Teil - nein
Mein Teil - nein
Die stumpfe Klinge gut und recht
Ich blute stark und mir ist schlecht
Muss ich auch mit der Ohnmacht kämpfen
Ich esse weiter unter Krämpfen
Ist doch so gut gewürzt und so schön flambiert
Und so liebevoll auf Porzellan serviert
Dazu ein guter Wein und zarter Kerzenschein
Ja da lass ich mir Zeit etwas Kultur muss sein
Denn du bist was du isst
Und ihr wisst was es ist
Es ist mein Teil - nein
Mein Teil - nein
Denn das ist mein Teil - nein
Yes, it's mein Teil - nein
Ein Schrei wird zum Himmel fahren
Schneidet sich durch Engelsscharen
Vom Wolkendach fällt Federfleisch
Auf meine Kindheit mit Gekreisch
Es ist mein Teil - nein
Mein Teil - nein
Denn das ist mein Teil - nein
Yes, it's mein Teil - nein

My Part
Looking for a well-built eighteen to thirty-year-old to be slaughtered
The Master Butcher
Today I will meet a gentleman
He likes me so much he could eat me up
Soft things and even hard ones
Are on the menu
Because you are
What you eat
And you know
What it is
It is my part - no
My part - no
Because that's my part - no
My part - no
The dull blade - good and proper
I'm bleeding heavily and feeling sick
Although I have to fight to stay awake
I keep eating while in convulsions
It's just so well seasoned
And so nicely flambéed
And so lovingly served on porcelain
And with it, a good wine and gentle candlelight
Yeat, I'll take my time
You've got to have some culture
Because you are
What you eat
And you know
What it is
It is my part - no
My part - no
Because that's my part - no
Yes it's my part - no
A cry will ascend to heaven
It will cut through hosts of angels
Feather-flesh will shriekingly fall
From the top of the clouds into my childhood
It is my part - no
My part - no
Because that's my part - no
My part - no

Extraordinarily beautiful and intoxicatingly poisonous!
Datura stramonium has been used as a mystical sacrament in North America and South Asia. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva was known to smoke Datura. People still provide the small green fruit of Datura during festivals and special days as offerings in Shiva temples. Although lay devotees smoke marijuana as a devotional practice during religious festivals like Shivaratri (the Night of Shiva), they do not smoke Datura because its effects can be unpredictable and sometimes fatal. Aboriginal Americans in North America, such as the Algonquin and Luiseño have used this plant in sacred ceremonies. The genus name is derived from dhatura, an ancient Hindu word for a plant. Stramonium is originally from Greek, strychnos στρύχνος "nightshade" and maniakos μανιακός "mad".
All parts of this plant are poisonous. Effects from ingestion range from flushed skin, headaches, hallucinations, convulsions and even coma. Datura stramonium, known by the common names jimson weed, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, thorn apple, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, datura, pricklyburr, devil's cucumber, hell's bells, moonflower and, in South Africa, malpitte and mad seeds, is a common weed in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Parts of the plant, especially the seeds and leaves, are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Due to the elevated risk of overdose in uninformed users, many hospitalizations and some deaths are reported from this use.
It is an erect annual herb forming a bush up to 3–5 ft tall. The leaves are soft, irregularly undulate, and toothed. The fragrant flowers are trumpet-shaped, white to creamy or violet, and 2.5 to 3.5 in. long. The egg-shaped seed capsule is walnut-sized and either covered with spines or bald. At maturity it splits into four chambers, each with dozens of small black seeds. The seed is carried by birds and spread in their droppings. It can lie dormant underground for years and germinate when the soil is disturbed. People who discover it growing in their gardens and are worried about its toxicity have been advised to dig it up.
In the United States the plant is called Jimson Weed, or more rarely Jamestown Weed, taking this name from Jamestown, Virginia where British soldiers were drugged with it while attempting to suppress Bacon's Rebellion. They spent 11 days generally appearing to have gone insane.

L’amanite panthère (Amanita pantherina) provoque une intoxication où dominent les signes neuropsychiques. Ce champignon contient de l’acide iboténique et du muscimol. Le tableau toxique est connu sous le nom de syndrome panthérinien. L’amanite panthère est beaucoup plus toxique que l’amanite tue-mouches qui donne une intoxication du même type mais sans convulsions.
La victime guérit en général en 12 à 24h mais l’évolution peut être mortelle en raison des convulsions.
Le traitement est symptomatique, il n’y a pas d’antidote, Alors
!! attention !!.
The panther amanita (Amanita pantherina) causes an intoxication dominated by neuropsychic signs. This mushroom contains ibotenic acid and muscimol. The toxic picture is known as pantherine syndrome. The panther amanita is much more toxic than the fly agaric which gives intoxication of the same type but without convulsions.
The victim generally heals in 12 to 24 hours but the evolution can be fatal due to convulsions.
The treatment is symptomatic, there is no antidote, So
!! Warning !!.

Nyon es conocida por ser la sede de la UEFA, pero también es una coqueta ciudad cuyos orígenes se remontan a la época del mismísimo Julio César. De esa época se han descubierto recientemente (1996) restos del forum, una basílica y un anfiteatro, lo cual da fe del esplendor que llegó a tener aquella Colonia Iulia Equestris. Ya en la Baja Edad Media, se construyó una pequeña fortaleza que pertenecía a los Señores de Prangins. Las convulsiones de los S. XIV y XV añadieron torres defensivas y unos muros más altos. Tras las campañas napoleónicas se desmantelaron los muros defensivos exteriores quedando el actual edificio a orillas del Lago Leman...
La Sacra Capilla del Salvador del Mundo es un templo construido bajo patrocinio de Francisco de los Cobos como panteón anexo a su palacio de Úbeda (provincia de Jaén), en la actualmente llamada Plaza Vázquez de Molina.
Mandada construir en 1536, formaba parte de un extenso programa artístico (del que formaban parte su Palacio, una Universidad y un Hospital) destinado a encumbrar la fama, la fortuna y la gloria personal que había alcanzado el secretario personal de Carlos V; para lo que recurrió a artistas de primer nivel. El proyecto inicial se encargó a Diego de Siloé, mientras que la realización corrió a cargo de Andrés de Vandelvira a partir de 1540. El templo fue consagrado en 1559. Su primer capellán fue el Deán Ortega, para quien se construyó el gran palacio que hay a la izquierda de la fachada principal de la capilla.
La Sacra Capilla del Salvador junto al Parador del Condestable Dávalos, antiguo palacio del Deán Ortega.
El Salvador fue la empresa más ambiciosa de toda la arquitectura religiosa privada del Renacimiento español. Declarado monumento histórico-artístico en 1931, se ha convertido, a su vez, en uno de los más divulgados símbolos de esta ciudad cuyo conjunto monumental renacentista, que junto con el de Baeza, fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 2003.
Es un templo funerario. La compleja decoración escultórica de emblemas y escudos nobiliarios de la fachada principal y del interior (que contrasta con la rancia austeridad hispánica de palacio, de sobriedad castellana extrema, en la cercana calle de Francisco de los Cobos), encierra un simbolismo funerario que conduce a la finalidad del espacio centralizado de la cripta acogida en una grandiosa y simbólica rotonda de forma circular, la más perfecta para expresar la Unidad o esencia infinita emanada de la uniformidad y Justicia de Dios, según la tratadística arquitectónica renacentista (Palladio).
Siloé, siguiendo a Vitrubio, aplicó principios neo-pitagóricos a los planos, que determinaron para la nave central una longitud de ochenta pies de vara (algo más de 22 metros) y una anchura de 40 pies (unos once metros), y una altura de 100 pies (unos veintiocho metros).
Uno de los rasgos más interesantes de la decoración arquitectónica del Salvador, que hace escuela en toda la región y viene a ser de los más típicos de la escuela vandelviresca, es el uso de la figura humana en función de miembro arquitectónico: cariátides (figuras femeninas), atlantes o telamones (masculinas), hermas (desmembrados), etc. Estos motivos debieron de ser aportaciones de Esteban Jamete, natural de Orleáns, dado que estas figuraciones estaban en boga en la arquitectura francesa de la época.
Cuenta con una sola torre rematada en forma de cebolla, al estilo centroeuropeo.
Su portada plateresca, cuya profusa labra es de Esteban Jamete, ha sido especialmente ponderada, en especial por la forma en que destacan sus tonos dorados con la luz del sol poniente. En la fachada principal se representan los escudos de los Cobos (cinco leones rampantes sostenido por majestuosos atlantes) y los Mendoza (por María de Mendoza, su mujer). En la fecha de sus esponsales (1522) ella tenía sólo 14 años y él superaba los 40; tras la muerte del marido, la viuda continuó impulsando las obras de la Capilla hasta su inauguración (8 de octubre de 1555).
La puerta principal, planteada como arco de Triunfo, tiene representados en el intradós una serie de dioses clásicos: Eolo, Neptuno, Vulcano, Anteo, Diana, Mercurio, Venus, Febo, Marte, Júpiter y Saturno.
El friso está decorado con escenas del Éxodo.
En el segundo cuerpo aparecen referencias a los trabajos de Hércules, y en el punto central un relieve de la Transfiguración de Jesús en el Monte Tabor. Se establece un paralelismo entre las figuras de Hércules y Jesús (en ambos casos, el hijo del dios supremo tiene que vivir como mortal y superar penosas pruebas para, tras una muerte cruel debida a una traición, recuperar la posición que le corresponde junto a su padre).
En el tercer cuerpo, un ventanal de medio punto rematado con un frontón triangular. A los lados de la puerta, dos escudos sostenidos por tenantes, -elementos de la arquitectura renacentista muy frecuentes en Úbeda-, con las armas de los Cobos -siempre en el lado del Evangelio- y de los Mendoza; lo que se repite en lo más alto de los contrafuertes y en los óculos. En la parte baja de los contrafuertes a la izquierda, la lucha de Hércules y Gerión y, a la derecha, Hércules y los toros de Gerión. A los lados, otras dos portadas triunfales, diseñadas por Vandelvira y esculpidas por Esteban Jamete. La portada norte está dedicada a Santiago (el mecenas era caballero de Santiago) y la portada sur, a la Caridad.
El interior fue diseñado en su mayor parte por Diego de Siloé como templo funerario, con una gran rotonda y una nave añadida, quedando la rotonda para los nobles, y la nave para el pueblo. El altar mayor está presidido por un retablo de madera de Alonso Berruguete, que representaba la Transfiguración. Fue quemado por los milicianos en la Guerra Civil y solo se conserva el Cristo central. La restauración es de Juan Luis Vassallo.
El templo alojó un repertorio de esculturas, reliquias, orfebrería y pinturas, piezas de sumo valor adquiridas o regaladas a su fundador, como la famosa Piedad de Úbeda de Sebastiano del Piombo (luego llevada a la Casa de Pilatos de Sevilla y actualmente en préstamo en el Museo del Prado de Madrid); un cáliz de oro, regalo de Carlos V; una macolla de cruz procesional de Francisco Martínez de 1542; una cabeza relicario; un calvario de Pieter Coecke (hoy custodiado temporalmente también en la Casa de Pilatos de Sevilla) y un crucifijo de marfil del siglo XVI. Pero seguramente la pieza más comentada del conjunto es una estatua de San Juanito esculpida en mármol, que fue atribuida por Gómez-Moreno a Miguel Ángel; autoría que ha sido avalada por expertos posteriores. Seriamente dañada en 1936, los fragmentos conservados fueron enviados por la Casa de Medinaceli a Florencia en 1995, a fin de intentarse su reintegración; ardua labor completada en 2013. La escultura ya restaurada se expuso en Italia, y en 2015 en el Museo del Prado de Madrid.
La reja finísimamente trabajada que separa rotonda y nave es de Francisco de Villalpando, fundida en 1555, con dos tramos y tres cuerpos, el central más elevado y esbelto.
En la crestería hay cuatro medallones con las Virtudes y en el centro el escudo nobiliario de los Cobos, cerrándola una cruz. La bóveda central está sostenida por columnas corintias adosadas; sobre su entablamento una galería corrida a la que dan tribunillas que en la embocadura del arco llevan cariátides. La decoración de las bóvedas es más sobria que el resto, intentando asemejar las nervaduras del estilo Isabel.
La sacristía está considerada como una de las principales obras del renacimiento español, con una riquísima decoración escultórica que simboliza vicios y virtudes, de Esteban Jamete, sobre un diseño realizado completamente por Vandelvira, precedente del que luego construiría en la Catedral de Jaén. Con arcos que dejan hornacinas para alojar las cajoneras donde se guardaran los ternos del culto, está decorada con toda clase de figuras, bustos y alegorías corpóreas. El entablamento está sostenido por cariátides que, a su vez, descansan en cabezas humanas. Las figuras que están en las enjutas de los arcos son las Sibilas. En la Sacristía hay restos de tablas del coro alto, sillerías del coro bajo, orfebrería de gran valor histórico y artístico, una arqueta-relicario, macolla y cañón de cruz, y algunas pinturas de distintas escuelas.
Destaca su originalísima puerta, realizada en una esquina, como una de las soluciones arquitectónicas más atrevidas y bellas de Vandelvira. Se dice que representa la Puerta del Eden. En lugar de columnas, hay cariátides con cestos de flores en la cabeza, que sostienen un doble entablamento separado por grutescos, sobre el cual, bajo dosel de piedra, está la Virgen de la Paz proclamando la concordia entre el poder y el pueblo, personificados por un emperador y un siervo que se arrodillan a su lado, completándose la decoración con dos angelotes.
Dentro del campo de la estereotomía, la solución de puerta en esviaje de esquina y rincón demuestra el alto grado de conocimiento arquitectónico por parte de Vandelvira.
UBEDA
Úbeda es una ciudad española y un municipio de la provincia de Jaén, capital de la comarca de La Loma de Úbeda, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. La ciudad, junto a la cercana Baeza, fue declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la Unesco el 3 de julio de 2003, debido a la calidad y buena conservación de sus numerosos edificios renacentistas y de su singular entorno urbanístico.
La leyenda dice que Úbeda fue fundada por Túbal, un descendiente de Noé. Del mítico torreón del Rey Ibiut derivaría el nombre de la ciudad.
Si nos restringimos a la arqueología, los primeros asentamientos en Úbeda se remontan a la Edad del Cobre, en el actual Cerro del Alcázar. De hecho, las últimas investigaciones arqueológicas han arrojado seis mil años de antigüedad; Úbeda es la «ciudad más vieja —científicamente documentada— de Europa occidental». Lo asegura el equipo dirigido por el catedrático Francisco Nocete a la luz de los resultados que han arrojado 35 dataciones de Carbono-14 en el yacimiento de las Eras del Alcázar.
Existen restos calcolíticos, argáricos, oretanos, visigodos y tardorromanos, en el solar actual donde se asienta. A su vez había con anterioridad un importante oppida ibero de población autóctono, llamado Iltiraka en lengua íbera, y después dependiente de la Colonia romana de Salaria, es conocido como Úbeda la Vieja (o Ubeda Vethula), estando situado frente a la desembocadura del río Jandulilla en el Guadalquivir. En busca de intercambios llegan a Úbeda los griegos y más tarde los cartagineses con propósitos imperialistas, siendo vencidos por los romanos tras largas guerras.
Bajo el imperio romano, a partir de la Batalla de Ilipa en 206 a. C., la antigua ciudad-estado íbera se romaniza, ya sería conocida como La Betula (Baetula), siendo el centro de numerosa población diseminada. En tiempos de godos, los vándalos destruyeron la región al completo y sus moradores pasaron a concentrarse al sitio que hoy conocemos, llamado de Bétula Nova, por motivos más bien ignorados.
La ciudad como entidad con una cierta importancia reaparece con la llegada de los árabes, en particular con Abderramán II, quien la refunda con el nombre de Ubbada o Ubbadat Al-Arab (Úbeda "de los árabes"), con la intención de controlar desde aquí a los revueltos mozárabes de Baeza. En el siglo xi es objeto de disputa entre los reinos de taifa de Almería, Granada, Toledo y Sevilla, hasta su conquista por los almorávides. Como ciudad musulmana, se rodeó de más murallas defensivas y se convirtió en una de las ciudades de mayor importancia de Al-Ándalus, debido a su artesanía y comercio. Así llegó a convertirse en un rico e importante bastión que poseer.
Edad Media
Durante el año 1091 el rey de Toledo, Al-Mamún, lucha contra la rebelión interna de los moros andalusíes siendo Úbeda rendida por la fuerza a manos de Alfonso VI. A partir del siglo xii los reyes castellanos aumentan progresivamente la presión sobre el Alto Guadalquivir y Úbeda solo es mencionada en las fuentes escritas como escenario de episodios bélicos, por ejemplo cuando la región fue objeto de los ataques de Alfonso VII de León, primero en 1137 y posteriormente en 1147, momento en el que se apoderó de Úbeda, Baeza y Almería. Durante diez años la ciudad permaneció en manos de los castellanos, hasta que la contraofensiva almohade les obligó a retirarse en 1157. Reconquistada y devastada por Alfonso VIII tras la batalla de las Navas de Tolosa, o Batalla de Úbeda, es perdida al poco tiempo. Entretanto la ciudad es saqueada y arrasada en varias ocasiones más, siendo definitivamente su población masacrada por los cruzados en la batalla de 1212.
En el año 1233, Úbeda es definitivamente conquistada por Fernando III de Castilla tras largo asedio, convirtiéndose en ciudad realenga y titular de un arciprestazgo:
Un hecho destacable es que la toma de Úbeda se realizó mediante capitulación, evitando una nueva matanza y posibilitando la coexistencia de distintas etnias que formaban una población de varias culturas (árabe, judía y cristiana). Durante más de dos siglos la ciudad participa activamente en la lucha contra los musulmanes, gozando de amplia autonomía en su gobierno local, regido por el Concejo apoyado por la veinticuatría.
Factor decisivo en este período es su importante valor geoestratégico. Durante casi tres siglos fue población fronteriza, primero de avanzada y luego muy cercana a la frontera entre los reinos de Granada y Castilla. Este hecho determina que los sucesivos reyes castellanos le otorguen numerosos privilegios y concesiones, como el Fuero de Cuenca, para favorecer la fijación de una población, formada por castellanos y navarro-aragoneses, que permanezca frente a circunstancias de vida adversas propias de una zona fronteriza. Así llegó a ser una de las 4 «ciudades mayores de la reconquista de el Andalucía».
Episodios como el de 1368, en el que la ciudad es asolada con motivo de la guerra civil entre Pedro I de Castilla y Enrique II de Trastámara, y el posterior saqueo de Pero Gil y los ejércitos de Muhammed V de Granada avivó la rivalidad entre los bandos locales, Traperas contra Arandas primero, luego Cuevas contra Molinas, tiñen de sangre su historia hasta las postrimerías del siglo xv. De hecho dieron lugar a que, a semejanza de lo ocurrido en Baeza, las murallas y torres del Alcázar fuesen demolidas en 1506 por orden real, a fin de poner paz entre dichos bandos.
La provincia de la jurisdicción de Úbeda se extendía desde Torres de Acún (Granada) hasta Santisteban del Puerto, pasando por Albánchez de Úbeda, Huesa y Canena, y a mitad del siglo xvi también incluía en su partido jurisdiccional a las villas de Cabra del Santo Cristo, Jimena, Quesada, Peal, Sabiote y Torreperogil.
Esplendor
Este cúmulo de factores —situación geográfica y consiguiente dominio de vías de comunicación, su extensa y rica jurisdicción, gran alfoz y presencia de una nobleza cada vez más poderosa— sentó las bases a lo largo de los siglos xiv y xv del esplendor de la Úbeda del siglo xvi. Al finalizar la conquista de Granada, asistimos a un desarrollo económico de la ciudad basado en la agricultura y en una importante ganadería caballar y mesta propia, que fundamenta el periodo de mayor esplendor de la ciudad, siendo muy importante la roturación de bosques y puesta en valor de nuevas tierras. La paz y el desarrollo económico lleva consigo un aumento demográfico, alcanzando la ciudad una población de 18 000 habitantes, siendo una de las más populosas de toda España. Comenzando con Ruy López Dávalos, Condestable de Castilla con Enrique III y Beltrán de la Cueva, valido de Enrique IV, sus nobles encuentran acomodo en altos cargos de la administración imperial.
Tras la nobleza ubetense, y las órdenes de caballería, el siguiente gran estamento privilegiado es el clero. La diócesis de Jaén es enormemente rica, su mitra, posiblemente, fuera una de las más ricas de España, y el clero ubetense tenía altos cargos en ella. También hallamos un colectivo de vecinos que han prosperado —judíos o muladíes mayormente— y que genéricamente hubieran sido el germen de una incipiente burguesía. Se trata de profesionales, tales como médicos, sastres, escribanos, boticarios y, naturalmente, un estimable número de mercaderes ricos. Más abajo, existía todo un variado repertorio gremial propio de un núcleo de población rico y expansivo, mención especial al gremio de los pastores y ganaderos. El ejército y la milicia cerraban este grueso estamento. El tercer estamento era un número basto de labriegos de las tierras de los nobles y pequeños campesinos.
Especialmente destacable es el papel de Francisco de los Cobos, secretario del Emperador Carlos I. Con él entra el gusto por el arte en Úbeda, y como si fuera una pequeña corte italiana, de manos del arquitecto Andrés de Vandelvira y sus seguidores, Úbeda se llena de palacios. Su sobrino, Juan Vázquez de Molina, secretario de Estado de Carlos I, y de su hijo, Felipe II, continúa lo iniciado. En toda Úbeda arraigan fuerte las corrientes humanistas del Primer Renacimiento.
En 1526 el Emperador Carlos visita la ciudad y jura guardar los privilegios, fueros y mercedes concedidas a Úbeda.
Declive
Los siglos xvii y xviii son de decadencia para la ciudad, inmersa en la crisis general de España, que ve cómo su pasado esplendor se apaga. La falta de una política proteccionista para la artesanía, las importaciones de la lana de Burgos, la subida de los precios por las malas cosechas, la injusta presión fiscal para las guerras, la corrupción, el poder del Clero, el proceso inflacionista por abundancia de metales, las continuas levas militares, las epidemias, y la emigración a Indias son algunos de los factores que contribuyeron a esa merma. Úbeda perdió hasta el control del tráfico de madera de los robles y pinos del Segura, en favor de comerciantes sevillanos. Todo ello va descapitalizando a la ciudad, agudizando las diferencias sociales e incrementando la miseria de la mayoría. Algunas fechas de los desastres que asolaron la ciudad en esta etapa fueron las pestes de 1585 y 1681 y el terremoto de Lisboa de 1755, que quebranta bastantes casas de la ciudad. Para rematar, la persecución de los cristianos nuevos y la expulsión de los moriscos en 1609 va a ser seriamente lamentado por el Concejo, por el impacto económico al perder su más valioso tejido económico.
La cruda decadencia se hace manifiesta a partir de 1700 con la larga Guerra de Sucesión. Los vecinos de Úbeda vivirán la Guerra de Sucesión con intensidad creciente. Sus aportaciones en caballos, armas, municiones, dinero o tropas son continuas, resultando difícil en ocasiones comprender de dónde provienen tales fuerzas en un pueblo debilitado por el hambre y la enfermedad. Tal fue la presión impositiva y la injusticia al quedar exentas las clases poderosas, que la población hambrienta se amotinó el 19 de marzo de 1706, contra los cobradores de las rentas reales. Como consecuencia de la guerra, Úbeda se empobreció en extremo y aumentó la conflictividad a límites desconocidos. El concejo tuvo que vender sus mejores fincas de propios para afrontar urgentes pagos de milicias. Sin duda hubo recesión demográfica, al coincidir la guerra con crisis de hambre y enfermedades generalizadas. En estos años, muchas villas de su territorio se independizan. Se puede concluir, que Úbeda sufre uno de los peores momentos de su historia, solo tocando fondo hacia 1735. Pero el mal en Úbeda y otros lugares estaba hecho, y era difícil dar marcha atrás al reloj de la Historia.
Posteriormente, con la guerra de la independencia española, durante la que los franceses permanecen entre 1810 y 1813 en la ciudad, se trunca la recuperación, las penalidades vuelven, se ocasionan saqueos y grandes perjuicios económicos. La situación llevó a Úbeda a un estado de "ruina económica", que la había conducido a extremos tales como la absoluta carencia de ganados para laborear el campo, de semillas para efectuar la siembra y aún de los medios más precisos para la subsistencia de la población.
Las desamortizaciones eclesiásticas de 1820 y 1836, supondrían que todos los conventos de la ciudad —con excepción de Santa Clara y las Carmelitas— fueran expropiados y vendidos en subasta pública. Ello significaría la total transformación de espacios urbanos de la ciudad, cambiando de uso algunos de estos edificios para albergar colegios, cuarteles, cárceles, etcétera y, en el peor de los casos, que fueran demolidos sus viejos inmuebles por amenaza de ruina. En suma, la ciudad vuelve a recuperarse hasta finales del siglo xix; es cuando comenzó a experimentar un pequeño resurgir con la mejora en avances técnicos, que llegan con retraso a la ciudad, que sigue siendo un medio rural no afectado apenas por la revolución industrial y cada vez más alejado de los centros de poder.
Úbeda continúa una larga existencia anodina, y sus palacios ya vacíos de lujos, permanecen abandonados.
Recuperación
Quedaban aún por sufrir los efectos de las guerras carlistas y las sucesivas revoluciones liberales que convulsionaron la vida de la ciudad. Las bases del liberalismo en Úbeda se basan en el predominio en la política de los grandes propietarios agrarios, y se instaura el caciquismo y el falseamiento electoral. A finales del siglo xix la pequeña burguesía con algunos terratenientes ubetenses hacen renacer la actividad en la ciudad gracias a la agricultura y la industria. Durante los años 20 del siglo xx, la retórica regeneracionista, cuya ambiciosa idea era lanzar a Úbeda a un nuevo Renacimiento, pone en práctica numerosos proyectos de reformas y mejoras en la ciudad. En éstos años, se extiende la educación y los servicios básicos. Fue también en esta época cuando empezaron las obras de la línea ferroviaria Baeza-Utiel, que habría llevado el ferrocarril a Úbeda y habría supuesto una importante conexión por ferrocarril con el Levante. Las obras de la ferrocarril, sin embargo, se alargaron durante tres décadas y la línea sería finalmente abandonada hacia 1964, cuando su construcción se encontraba ya muy avanzada. Por esta época fue también muy destacada la actividad del general Leopoldo Saro Marín, que aunque no era jienense, estaba emparentado con la provincia y con Úbeda por vínculos familiares. Además del nonato ferrocarril, la influencia del general Saro facilitó la construcción de la Biblioteca municipal, el Parador de Turismo, la Escuela de Artes y Oficios o la reconstrucción de la Casa de las Torres.
Úbeda llegó a contar con un periódico diario editado en la localidad, La Provincia, entre 1921 y 1936.
Durante la Guerra civil, la violencia, represión y venganza política sumieron a Úbeda en una larga fase de depresión. La ciudad no fue frente de guerra, pero sufrió las sacas de presos de uno y otro bando. Así, empezó en la noche del 30 al 31 de julio de 1936, cuando las milicias republicanas sacaron a los presos políticos que, en número de 47 se encontraban en la cárcel de Partido, y los asesinaron. La posguerra es aún recordada por sus contemporáneos como «los años del hambre».
Durante los años 60 y 70 la industria local tiene un fuerte repunte gracias al tirón desarrollista, pero insuficiente para absorber el fuerte incremento de población, avocada a la emigración. Lentamente, la que fue «la Florencia de la Alta Andalucía», va a ir alcanzando el lugar actual como referente provincial, cabecera de la comarca y como un centro de industria y servicios a nivel regional de importancia creciente.
El 3 de julio de 2003 es nombrada, junto con su vecina Baeza, Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Se nos muere el amor, tiene fiebre de frio.
Se nos cayó de la cama
cuando lo empujó el hastio
y esta enfermo de muerte
el mismo que era tan fuerte
tiene anemia de besos, tiene cancer de olvido
y por si fuera poco, tiene ganas de morir.
Se nos muere el amor
se nos mueren las ganas, las vemos agonizar
convulsionando entre las sábanas
y no existe un vino tinto
que nos reviva el instinto
se nos muere la magia, la pasión, la locura
ay amor traicionero
viniste pa´ jorobarnos.
Yo sobrevivia sin ella
y ella era feliz sin mi.
Ay amor con el tiempo te nos has oxidado
ay amor susceptible, ay amor delicado.
Ay amor no te mueras,
o muerete de un trancazo
que no hay peor agonia
que la que es de paso en paso
Se nos muere el amor, se acabo la ternura
y a la libertad, la convertimos en dictadura
se contagio de costumbre
le falto fuego a la lumbre
se nos mueren los sueños, los versos, los besos
ay amor implacable yo ya no se que prefiero
que me odie de corazon
o que me ame sin amor
Si todo era tan bello
dime amor que nos pasa
hoy ya no somos ni amigos
no cabemos en casa
ay amor tan ingrato
quitame solo una duda
si eres tu el que te mueres
o soy yo el que te mato.
Ricardo Arjona.
The storm, in its insatiable hunger, had devoured the day. It had raged and howled, clawing at the rocks and lashing the sea into convulsions. The mountains had stood unmoved, their cold flanks indifferent to the fury, their peaks wreathed in mist like the brows of old gods lost in thought. But now, in this brief and almost reluctant moment of peace, the sky fractured, and through its wounds, light spilled.
Not the soft light of comfort, nor the tender caress of spring’s warmth—no, this was light like revelation, sharp and blinding, piercing the dense veils of mist and rain. Golden lances fell from the heavens, striking the crests of the mountains and the black skin of the sea. It was triumph, defiant and terrible, as if the sky itself had risen from its battle with the storm and now unfurled its burning banners over the world. And yet, even as it claimed its fleeting victory, one could see its own frailty. The mist was already creeping in again, devouring the edges of the mountains. The light bled away into the deepening dusk.
The islands scattered across the water seemed like remnants of an ancient ruin, their reflections trembling in the glassy surface as if they, too, could feel time gnawing at their edges. The sea, which had roared in fury only moments before, now lay still, breathing in long, slow sighs, its surface broken only by thin trails of ripples—ghosts of the wind’s vanished presence.
For a moment, one could almost believe in eternity, in the weight and endurance of rock and ocean, in the solemnity of things that do not bend to time. But then, the light faltered. The storm, though briefly silenced, was not gone. The wind shifted, and the mist thickened again. The golden radiance, so bold and exultant, was already withdrawing, slipping away between the mountains like something ashamed of its own hubris.
And so it is with all things. Triumph burns bright, but only for an instant. Beauty flares and then is swallowed. We reach for light, for meaning, and for a moment, it is in our grasp—but then the mist rolls in once more, and the world returns to its silence.
Las calles de Soria eran entonces, y lo son todavía, oscuras y tortuosas. Un silencio profundo reinaba en ellas, silencio que sólo interrumpían, ora el lejano ladrido de un perro, ora el rumor de una puerta al cerrarse, ora el relincho de corcel que piafando hacía sonar la cadena que lo sujetaba al pesebre en las subterráneas caballerizas.

de Rimas y Leyendas. El rayo de luna.
La noche estaba serena y hermosa; la luna brillaba en toda su plenitud en lo más alto del cielo, y el viento suspiraba con un rumor dulcísimo entre las hojas de los árboles.
Manrique llegó al claustro, tendió la vista por su recinto y miró a través de las macizas columnas de sus arcadas... Estaba desierto.
Salió de él, encaminó sus pasos hacia la oscura alameda que conduce al Duero, y aún no había penetrado en ella, cuando de sus labios se escapó un grito de júbilo.
Había visto flotar un instante y desaparecer el extremo del traje blanco de la mujer de sus sueños, de la mujer que ya amaba como un loco.
Corre, corre en su busca; llega al sitio en que la ha visto desaparecer; pero al llegar se detiene, fija los espantados ojos en el suelo, permanece un rato inmóvil; un ligero temblor nervioso agita sus miembros, un temblor que va creciendo, que va creciendo, y ofrece los síntomas de una verdadera convulsión, y prorrumpe, al fin en una carcajada, en una carcajada sonora, estridente, horrible.
Aquella cosa blanca, ligera, flotante, había vuelto a brillar ante sus ojos; pero había brillado a susu pies un instante, no más que un instante.
Era un rayo de luna, un rayo de luna que penetraba a intervalos por entre la verde bóveda de los árboles cuando el viento movía las ramas.

- ¡el amor!... El amor es un rayo de luna -murmuraba el joven.
(...)
- ¡No! ¡No! -exclamó el joven, incorporándose colérico en su sitial-. No quiero nada...; es decir, sí quiero: quiero que me dejéis solo... Cantigas..., mujeres..., glorias..., felicidad..., mentiras todo, fantasmas vanos que formamos en nuestra imaginación y vestimos a nuestro antojo, y los amamos y corremos tras ellos, ¿para qué?, ¿para qué? Para encontrar un rayo de luna.

The rock hyrax is squat and heavily built with short legs and looks somewhat clumsy when moving on the ground.
They are actually very agile and will scamper up rocks and trees very quickly.

*****************************
The rock hyrax (Procavia capensis), also called rock badger, rock rabbit, and Cape hyrax, is commonly referred to in South African English as the dassie. It is one of the four living species of the order Hyracoidea, and the only living species in the genus Procavia. Like all hyraxes, it is a medium-sized (~4 kg) terrestrial mammal, with short ears and tail.
The closest living relatives to hyraxes are the modern-day elephants and sirenians. The rock hyrax is found across Africa and the Middle East in habitats with rock crevices into which it escapes from predators. It is the only extant terrestrial afrotherian in the Middle East. Hyraxes typically live in groups of 10–80 animals, and forage as a group. They have been reported to use sentries: one or more animals take up position on a vantage point and issue alarm calls on the approach of predators.
The rock hyrax has incomplete thermoregulation and is most active in the morning and evening, although its activity pattern varies substantially with season and climate.
Over most of its range, the rock hyrax is not endangered, and in some areas is considered a minor pest. In Ethiopia, Israel and Jordan, it is a reservoir of the leishmaniasis parasite.
The rock hyrax is squat and heavily built, adults reaching a length of 50 cm (20 in) and weighing around 4 kg (8.8 lb), with a slight sexual dimorphism, males being approximately 10% heavier than females. Their fur is thick and grey-brown, although this varies strongly between different environments: from dark brown in wetter habitats, to light grey in desert living individuals. Hyrax size (as measured by skull length and humerus diameter) is correlated to precipitation, probably because of the effect on preferred hyrax forage.
Prominent in, and apparently unique to hyraxes, is the dorsal gland, which excretes an odour used for social communication and territorial marking. The gland is most clearly visible in dominant males.
The head of the rock hyrax is pointed, having a short neck with rounded ears. They have long black whiskers on their muzzles. The rock hyrax has a prominent pair of long, pointed tusk-like upper incisors which are reminiscent of the elephant, to which the hyrax is distantly related. The forefeet are plantigrade, and the hind feet semi-digitigrade. The soles of the feet have large, soft pads that are kept moist with sweat-like secretions. In males, the testes are permanently abdominal, another anatomical feature that hyraxes share with their relatives elephants and sirenians.
Thermoregulation in the rock hyrax has been subject to much research, as their body temperature varies with a diurnal rhythm. However, animals kept in constant environmental conditions also display such variation and this internal mechanism may be related to water balance regulation.
The rock hyrax occurs across sub-Saharan Africa, with the exception of the Congo basin and Madagascar. A larger, longer-haired subspecies is abundant in the glacial moraines in the alpine zone of Mount Kenya. The distribution continues into southern Algeria, Libya and Egypt, and the Middle East, with populations in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and the Arabian peninsula.
A mammal of similar appearance by convergent evolution, but unrelated, is the rock cavy of Brazil.
Rock hyraxes build dwelling holes in any type of rock with suitable cavities such as sedimentary rocks and soil. In Mount Kenya, rock hyraxes live in colonies comprising an adult male, differing numbers of adult females and immatures. They are active during the day, and sometimes during moonlit nights. The dominant male defends and watches over the group. The male also marks its territory.
In Africa, hyraxes are preyed on by leopards, Egyptian cobras, puff adders, rock pythons, caracals, wild dogs, hawks, and owls. Verreaux's eagle in particular is a specialist hunter of hyrax. In Israel, the rock hyrax is reportedly rarely preyed upon by terrestrial predators, as their system of sentries and their reliable refuges provide considerable protection. Hyrax remains are almost absent from the droppings of wolves in the Judean Desert.
Hyraxes feed on a wide variety of different plants, including Lobelia and broad-leafed plants. They also have been reported to eat insects and grubs. The rock hyraxes forage for food up to about 50 metres from their refuge, usually feeding as a group and with one or more acting as sentries from a prominent lookout position. On the approach of danger, the sentries give an alarm call, and the animals quickly retreat to their refuge.
They are able to go for many days without water due to the moisture they obtain through their food, but will quickly dehydrate under direct sunlight.
Despite their seemingly clumsy build, they are able to climb trees (although not as readily as Heterohyrax), and will readily enter residential gardens to feed on the leaves of citrus and other trees.
The rock hyrax also makes a loud grunting sound while moving its jaws as if chewing, and this behaviour may be a sign of aggression. Some authors have proposed that observation of this behaviour by ancient Israelites gave rise to the misconception given in Leviticus 11:4-8 that the hyrax chews the cud In fact, hyraxes are not ruminants.
Rock hyraxes give birth to between two and four young after a gestation period of 6–7 months (long, for their size). The young are well developed at birth with fully opened eyes and complete pelage. Young can ingest solid food after two weeks and are weaned at ten weeks. After 16 months, the rock hyraxes become sexually mature, they reach adult size at three years, and they typically live about ten years. During seasonal changes, the weight of the male reproductive organs (testis, seminal vesicles) changes due to sexual activity. A study showed that between May and January, the males were inactive sexually. From February onward, there was a dramatic increase to the weight of these organs, and the males are able to copulate.
Social behaviour
In a study of their social networks, it was found that hyraxes that live in more "egalitarian" groups, in which social associations are spread more evenly among group members, survive longer. In addition, hyraxes are the first non-human species in which structural balance was described. They follow "the friend of my friend is my friend" rule, and avoid unbalanced social configurations.
Captive rock hyraxes make more than 20 different noises and vocal signals. The most familiar signal is a high trill, given in response to perceived danger. Rock hyrax calls can provide important biological information such as size, age, social status, body weight, condition, and hormonal state of the caller, as determined by measuring their call length, patterns, complexity, and frequency. More recently, researchers have found rich syntactic structure and geographical variations in the calls of rock hyraxes, a first in the vocalization of mammalian taxa other than primates, cetaceans, and bats. Higher ranked males tend to sing more often, although the energetic cost of singing is relatively low.
The rock hyrax spends approximately 95% of its time resting. During this time, they can often be seen basking in the sun, which is thought to be an element of their complex thermoregulation.
Dispersal
Male hyraxes have been categorised into four classes: territorial, peripheral, early dispersers, and late dispersers. The territorial males are dominant. Peripheral males are more solitary and sometimes take over a group when the dominant male is missing. Early-dispersing males are juveniles that leave the birth site around 16 to 24 months of age. Late dispersers are also juvenile males, but they leave the birth site much later; around 30 or more months of age.
Names
They are known as dassies in South Africa, and sometimes rock rabbits. The Swahili names for them are pimbi, pelele and wibari, though the latter two names are nowadays reserved for the tree hyraxes. This species has many subspecies, many of which are also known as rock or Cape hyrax, although the former usually refers to African varieties.
In Arabic, the rock hyrax is called "wabr" or "tabsoun". In Hebrew, the rock hyrax is called "shafan sela", meaning rock "shafan", where the meaning of shafan is obscure, but is colloquially used as a synonym for rabbit in modern Hebrew. According to Gerald Durrell local people in Bafut, Cameroon, call the rock hyrax the n'eer.
Naturopathic use
Rock hyraxes produce large quantities of hyraceum—a sticky mass of dung and urine that has been employed as a South African folk remedy in the treatment of several medical disorders, including epilepsy and convulsions. Hyraceum is now being used by perfumers who tincture it in alcohol to yield a natural animal musk.
In culture
The rock hyrax is classified as non-kosher in the Jewish Torah. Nonetheless, it is also included in Proverbs 30:26 as one of a number of remarkable animals for being small, but exceedingly wise, in this case because "the rock badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the cliffs".
In Joy Adamson's books and the movie Born Free, a rock hyrax called Pati-Pati was her companion for six years before Elsa and her siblings came along; Pati-Pati took the role of nanny and watched over them with great care.
The 2013 animated film Khumba features a number of rock hyraxes who sacrifice one of their own to a white black eagle.
The species was introduced to Jebel Hafeet, which is on the border of Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

Hay encuentros que son marcados por el destino.
Superviso mi proyecto fotográfico con el maestro Valerio Bispuri. Generoso maestro. Nos encontramos en Buenos Aires un día de paro nacional, en un contexto de país , convulsionado. Se intereso y conmovió con las historias que se entrecruzan en el proyecto. "Tenés este tejido, Sabes lo que yo haría ? Tomo el último punto , tiro del hilo y empiezo a destejer. Vas de atrás para adelante. Arrancas del punto donde llegaron tus abuelos no desde dónde partieron por que vos estas de éste lado del mundo. te vas al hotel de inmigrantes.Yo no sabía que existía tal cosa. Ahí partí , estaba con mi cámara ya sin baterías y con un lente 40 - 100 mm que me había llevado para hacer retratos.
El lugar no estaba disponible pero alguien me permitió sacar fotos de afuera y me habrá visto tan conmovida que me ofreció buscar los datos de mis abuelos en una base de datos . Ahí estaban. Fue impresionante En 1925 entró una familia de Torino que partió del puerto de Genova en el Buque Valdivia y llega a Argentina el 20 de abril de ese mismo año. María Luisa Dematteis de 35 años, Francesco Rossi de 31 años Y Rossi desconocida de 7 años ( Tía Vanna). Empecé a hacer con la cámara el recorrido que ellos hicieron desde la dársena norte entrando al hotel ( y la batería que aparecía en rojo en la pantalla era desesperante) Quería ver lo que ellos vieron y tocar lo que ellos tocaron. Que deben haber sentido? Voy a volver más entera. continuará... Gracias Valerio. Te debo una.
Extraordinarily beautiful and intoxicatingly poisonous!
Datura stramonium has been used as a mystical sacrament in North America and South Asia. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva was known to smoke Datura. People still provide the small green fruit of Datura during festivals and special days as offerings in Shiva temples. Although lay devotees smoke marijuana as a devotional practice during religious festivals like Shivaratri (the Night of Shiva), they do not smoke Datura because its effects can be unpredictable and sometimes fatal. Aboriginal Americans in North America, such as the Algonquin and Luiseño have used this plant in sacred ceremonies. The genus name is derived from dhatura, an ancient Hindu word for a plant. Stramonium is originally from Greek, strychnos στρύχνος "nightshade" and maniakos μανιακός "mad".
All parts of this plant are poisonous. Effects from ingestion range from flushed skin, headaches, hallucinations, convulsions and even coma. Datura stramonium, known by the common names jimson weed, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, thorn apple, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, datura, pricklyburr, devil's cucumber, hell's bells, moonflower and, in South Africa, malpitte and mad seeds, is a common weed in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Parts of the plant, especially the seeds and leaves, are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Due to the elevated risk of overdose in uninformed users, many hospitalizations and some deaths are reported from this use.
It is an erect annual herb forming a bush up to 3–5 ft tall. The leaves are soft, irregularly undulate, and toothed. The fragrant flowers are trumpet-shaped, white to creamy or violet, and 2.5 to 3.5 in. long. The egg-shaped seed capsule is walnut-sized and either covered with spines or bald. At maturity it splits into four chambers, each with dozens of small black seeds. The seed is carried by birds and spread in their droppings. It can lie dormant underground for years and germinate when the soil is disturbed. People who discover it growing in their gardens and are worried about its toxicity have been advised to dig it up.
In the United States the plant is called Jimson Weed, or more rarely Jamestown Weed, taking this name from Jamestown, Virginia where British soldiers were drugged with it while attempting to suppress Bacon's Rebellion. They spent 11 days generally appearing to have gone insane.

Historia
Edad Antigua
La ciudad fue fundada a inicios de la Edad del Bronce, siendo posteriormente ocupada durante la Edad de Hierro por el pueblo celta de los vacceos, que la denominaron Ocalam. El asentamiento inicial se produjo en la almendra delimitada por el Castillo y la costanilla de San Ildefonso, un emplazamiento estratégico al tratarse de una meseta rocosa defendida por el río Duero, en la que se ubicó un castro.
El poblamiento se mantuvo durante el Imperio romano. De hecho, con frecuencia se la ha identificado con la importante mansio y civitas de "Ocelo Durii" (Ojo del Duero). Según algunos tal población correspondería en realidad con la actual Villalazán, doce kilómetros al este, también a orillas del Duero, y por la que transcurría la Vía de la Plata.
Según otros estudiosos en cambio, sí que se asentaría en Zamora capital. A pesar de que hasta ahora no hayan aparecido en la ciudad restos arqueológicos de entidad correspondientes a este periodo (lo que no descarta posibles sorpresas futuras si se hicieran más excavaciones, como ocurrió recientemente con el destacado yacimiento de cerámica musulmana hallado en el solar en el que se está construyendo el Consejo Consultivo de Castilla y León), la toponimia sería un argumento en favor de la capital zamorana, ya que "Okelo Duri" originalmente significaba peñasco prominente (las Peñas de Santa Marta) y por otra parte en la orilla opuesta del río se sitúa el barrio de San Frontis, nombre de origen romano, "sub frontis pontis", por debajo del puente. Precisamente a esa altura del cauce estuvo en pie hasta 1310 el Puente Viejo o de Olivares, del que aún existen algunos restos visibles. Además existe un mapa tardorromano en el que aparece el término "Okelo Duri" que se correspondería con Zamora. A esta época corresponde Viriato, el "terror romanorum", que celebraba sus victorias sobre los romanos (ocho en total) arrancando un jirón de sus rojos estandartes y poniéndolo en su lanza, lo cual es precisamente el origen de la bandera de la ciudad (y de la provincia), la "Seña Bermeja". Se le considera nacido en Torrefrades, pueblo de la comarca de Sayago, aunque otros sitúan su origen en Portugal (Monte Herminius, en la Sierra de la Estrella) o en la provincia de Huelva.
La primera referencia documental que se tiene de la ciudad aparece en el Parrochiale Suevum del año 569, en las que se la cita con el nombre de "Senimure", incluida en la diócesis de Asturica, perteneciente al Reino Suevo. Así aparece también en unas acuñaciones de monedas de Sisebuto en el siglo posterior. Los nombres árabes de la ciudad fueron "Azemur" (olivar silvestre) y "Semurah" (ciudad de las turquesas). El nombre actual parece proceder de una de estas dos últimas etapas, y es citado como tal en el Salmanticense como "una de las plazas recobradas por Alfonso I a los moros".
Edad Media
El periodo comprendido entre los siglos X y XIII es el de mayor relevancia de Zamora dentro del contexto hispánico. La Batalla de Simancas (939) dio a los cristianos el control de los valles del Duero y del Tormes, convirtiéndose la capital zamorana (por su posición y su ventajoso emplazamiento, en lo alto de una meseta rocosa al borde del río) en una de las principales plazas fuertes que aseguraban la frontera. Su importancia fue decayendo sin embargo a partir de la Batalla de las Navas de Tolosa (1212), que abrió el sur peninsular a los reinos cristianos, perdiendo con ello Zamora su trascendencia estratégica.
Durante la Edad Media, Zamora volvió a ser tomada y destruida por los musulmanes al mando del emir Mohamed y después reconquistada por los cristianos en el reinado de rey Alfonso II de Asturias, el Casto, siendo de nuevo fortificada. El rey Alfonso III de Asturias, el Magno la repobló con mozárabes toledanos en 893, rodeándola de murallas y dotándola incluso de palacios y baños, convirtiéndose, por su emplazamiento y características, en la ciudad fortaleza más importante de los reinos cristianos. Zamora fue descrita por los cronistas árabes, como “la capital de reino de Galicia, rodeada de siete recintos amurallados y grandes fosos”. Fue una de las plazas más importantes del Reino de León, del que formó parte. Además inició la etapa de mayor esplendor político, económico y arquitectónico. El paulatino desplazamiento de la frontera hacia el sur, del Duero al Tormes, favoreció este progreso, sólo quebrado por las aceifas de Almanzor. Muhammad ibn 'Abd-Allah ibn Abū 'Āmir (en árabe أبو عامر محمد بن عبد), llamado Al-Mansūr (المنصور) (españolizado Almanzor), el Victorioso, lanzó en 981 un primer ataque contra la ciudad, que fue arrasada. En 986 rompió hostilidades con el rey Bermudo II, atacando Coímbra al año siguiente (dejándola de tal manera que durante siete años estuvo desierta) y dirigiéndose contra el propio León en 988, destruyendo todo lo que encontraba a su paso. Bermudo se refugió en Zamora pero nada pudo contener el avance enemigo. León, después de resistir cuatro días, fue asaltado, saqueado, incendiado y sus murallas destruidas, Zamora capituló y Bermudo hubo de huir a Galicia. En 997 Zamora volvió a sufrir la acción del musulmán, pues en su camino hacia Santiago de Compostela arrasó de nuevo la ciudad, además de León y Astorga.
"Zamora la bien cercada" la llamó Fernando I de León y Castilla, el Magno. Este monarca la reconstruyó en 1055, la repobló con montañeses y amuralló nuevamente, para cedérsela luego a su hija Doña Urraca. Su posición privilegiada la hizo objeto de disputa entre los divididos reinos cristianos. Durante uno de los cercos a la ciudad sucedió un hecho notable que se perpetuó en el romancero español: la muerte por sorpresa, a manos del noble zamorano Vellido Dolfos, del rey Sancho II cuando éste intentaba tomar la ciudad gobernada por su hermana. La posibilidad de que el inductor hubiera sido el principal beneficiado (el rey Alfonso VI, quien había sido encarcelado por Sancho II, su hermano), es la que, según los cantares de gesta, habría provocado que uno de los nobles castellanos presentes en el asedio, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, el Cid, le hiciera jurar no haber participado en la muerte de su hermano (la jura de Santa Gadea, Burgos). Tanto el arrojo de Vellido como el atrevimiento de Rodrigo han pasado a ser tópicos literarios y hasta coloquiales, así como la bravura de la ciudad durante el asedio, inmortalizada en el dicho No se ganó Zamora en una hora. En el lugar en el que, según la tradición, fue asesinado el soberano Sancho II por Bellido Dolfos, se encuentra situado un tosco monumento rematado en cruz y denominado Cruz del Rey Don Sancho.
Otro hito en la historia de la ciudad fue la conferencia de paz entre el rey Alfonso VII de León y Castilla y Afonso Henriques, rey de Portugal. Como resultado, el 5 de octubre de 1143 fue reconocida la independencia del nuevo reino, que quedó reflejada en el Tratado de Zamora, que marca de manera oficial el nacimiento de Portugal como estado independiente. Alfonso VII reconoció como monarca a Afonso Henriques por su deseo de ser emperador y necesitar, por tanto, reyes que fueran sus vasallos, aunque una vez logrado el reconocimiento, el portugués siguió una línea de completa autonomía.
La importancia de Zamora entre las ciudades de la Corona de Castilla en la Baja Edad Media quedó manifestada por su voto en las Cortes de Castilla, condición que sólo disfrutaban diecisiete (a las que posteriormente se añadió Granada). La extensión de la representación de los procuradores zamoranos era extraordinaria, pues incluía el territorio gallego, en el que ninguna ciudad tenía voto.
Edad Moderna
Después de su apogeo en el siglo XII y conforme se desplazaba hacia el sur la frontera de la reconquista de la península por los reyes cristianos, Zamora fue perdiendo importancia estratégica y económica. Después del descubrimiento de América, muchos zamoranos se vieron obligados por la pobreza económica de la zona a emigrar al continente, especialmente a América del Sur donde se han fundado muchas otras ciudades con su mismo nombre.
Edad Contemporánea
A lo largo del siglo XVIII la ciudad vivió una fuerte recuperación, que se vio favorecida por la protección de que gozó por parte de la Corona, proceso que se vio interrumpido abruptamente por la invasión napoleónica. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia Zamora se levantó en armas al dar comienzo el año 1809 frente a las tropas francesas de Lapisse, Maupetit y Soulignac. Los zamoranos salieron a su encuentro al puente de Villagodio, sobre el río Valderaduey, a tres kilómetros de la ciudad, donde trabaron con los franceses una sangrienta y desigual pelea que duró tanto como la luz del día; viéndose al fin en la necesidad de retirarse cerca del anochecer ante su situación de inferioridad manifiesta, tras contar con la pérdida de ciento treinta zamoranos muertos y doble número de heridos, no sin antes haber causado bastantes bajas en la filas enemigas. La temeraria hazaña es recordada mediante un obelisco conmemorativo, en el que figura la siguiente leyenda: “Los zamoranos de 1908 dedican esta inscripción a los héroes del 6 de enero de 1809. Este monumento fue erigido en 1819. La ocupación duró tres años, hasta 1812, y provocó además graves pérdidas al patrimonio artístico de la ciudad.
Los años que siguieron a la liberación fueron un periodo de decadencia y aislamiento. Las manufacturas estaban prácticamente limitadas a actividades meramente artesanales, siendo la industria propiamente dicha muy escasa. El comercio además era deficitario, vendiéndose al exterior tan solo cereales y vino. El traslado de la Capitanía General a Valladolid agravó aun más la situación, con el resultado de que en 1850 la población era de únicamente 9.000 habitantes. La Desamortización supuso una convulsión que tuvo repercursiones en los campos de la economía, el urbanismo y el patrimonio artístico. A ese fenómeno se unió el abandono de la ciudad por parte de la nobleza.
En la segunda mitad del XIX Zamora empieza a vivir un resurgir económico, que se acentúa en el final del siglo y el principio del XX, estimulado por una cierta industrialización, la llegada del ferrocarril en 1864, la electrificación, el desarrollo de la agricultura, en el que jugaron un importante papel los Círculos Agrícolas, la expansión del comercio y la construcción de nuevas carreteras así como de embalses en la provincia (los Saltos del Esla, especialmente).

O Finn é do mês passado, ele fez 2 aninhos aqui! *-*
Adorei brincar com o editor e com a janela, se eu mostra essas fotos sem edição nem daria para acreditar que são elas kkkkk
É oficial minha câmera esta convulsionando, primeiro ela começou a dar erro no cartão, mas consegui tirar algumas fotos, e passei para o not, mas na hora de formatar era como se eu tivesse ejetado ele, estão retirei e coloquei de novo, nesse movimento simples de retirada o not fez "puf" e desligou todo, sei que é do cartão porque ele ja fez isso antes, mas com o cartão antigo, ou seja, é algum bug na câmera! Resultado da história, meu leitos de cartão queimou de novo e ele nem tem 6 meses de comprado, fiquei bem chateado T_T
. . . to quote from the popular song often played at funerals.
Today we heard the news that it is more than likely bus production will come to an end in Falkirk after decades of history.
Alexander Dennis have apparently decided to shift production to their former Plaxton plant at Scarborough as they downsize and 'steamline' what's left of the business in the face of largely foreign competition for a shrinking market.
The convulsions of British bus manufacturing in the last six decades that I personally recall could make you weep, and I suspect this latest trauma won't be the last.
Back in the early '70s when this AEC was bodied, Alexander were still to have another ten years of producing their stalwart and well respected 'Y Type' body. Here, as a bit of a tribute in one of my own ex B&W shots is PMT's FEH 168J, my favourite bus in their fleet at the time, powering up the hill outside 'Renown' towers in 1979. Today we have no AEC, even Leyland who took over the brand are gone too. PMT (the bus operator) is no more, this service ceased and now it looks likely Alexander (even in its present incarnation) will vanish. Don't you just love progress?!
Las cristianas posaderas del valenciano Rodrigo Borja, italianizado como Borgia, y más tarde nombrado Papa como Alejandro VI, ocupaban la silla de San Pedro. Pero aquella esplendorosa mañana del 14 de junio del año de gracia de 1497, cuando le comunicaron que el cuerpo inerte de un hombre acuchillado, había aparecido en las aguas del Tíber toda su humanidad sufrió una enorme convulsión.
Y no era para menos, ya que el cuerpo de aquel hombre encontrando flotando en las aguas del río, pertenecía a Juan Borgia y Cattanei, duque de Gandía, capitán general de los Ejércitos Pontificios, su hijo mayor y hermano de Cesar Borgia.
Esa muerte cambiaría los planes de Alejandro VI respecto a su hijo César, que siendo obispo de Navarra a los 16 años y cardenal a los 18, iba camino de convertirse en uno de los señalados a ocupar la Silla Pontificia de Roma.
Pero el luctuoso suceso trocaría su propósito y hace que su hijo cambie el ropaje púrpura de cardenal de Santa María Nuova, por el de capitán general de los Ejércitos Pontificios y la cruz por la espada.
César Borgia hubo de apartarse de su carrera eclesiástica y ocupar el lugar de su fallecido hermano, Juan Borgia.
Múltiples y diversos avatares suceden en la vida de Cesar antes de llegar a Viana.
En 1503, después de ser invitado a una cena, el papa alejando VI es invadido por una enfermedad misteriosa y fallece al poco tiempo, acabando así con los 11 años que duró su papado. Su hijo, Cesar Borgia, cae en desgracia y el sucesor de Alejandro VI, el Papa Julio II, enemigo visceral de los Borgia, manda encerrarlo. Cesar pasa por diversas prisiones en Roma y más tarde en España, donde es encerrado en el Castillo de La Mota, en Medina del Campo, Valladolid, donde tendrá cocimiento, en 1504, de la muerte de Isabel I, la Católica, y del que conseguirá escapar, según documento de la época, el 25 de octubre de 1506.
El 3 de diciembre de 1506 llega a Pamplona, siendo acogido por su cuñado el rey de Navarra, Juan de Albret, quien lo nombra capitán de los ejércitos de Navarra.
Navarra, por entonces, estaba en guerra civil desde mediados del siglo XV, entre agramonteses, partidarios del rey Juan de Albret y los beamonteses, partidarios del condestable del reino, el conde de Lerín, y defensores de los intereses de Carlos de Viana.
En Viana se apoyaba a los beamonteses, enemigos del rey Juan de Albret y, por tanto, de Borgia, que los combatía.
Obviamente, Cesar no cayó muy simpático a los beamonteses.
El 11 de marzo de 1507, cuatro meses después de su llegada a Pamplona, en el término conocido como la Barranca Salada, los hombres del conde de Lerín le prepararon una traicionera emboscada que acaba con su vida. Aún no tenía 32 años.
Juan de Albret, enterró a su cuñado, César Borgia, en un sepulcro gótico, esculpido en alabastro, en el presbiterio de la iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción, de Viana.
Este sepulcro no permaneció demasiado tiempo en el presbiterio, ya que, al parecer, según datos poco precisos, pudo ser a finales del siglo XVI cuando se esfuma y los restos pasan a una segunda tumba en el exterior.
En 1885 se localizan, lo que se suponen sus restos, en la Rúa Mayor, a los pies de la escalinata, frente a la portada renacentista de la iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción, pero se dejan en el mismo lugar.
En 1945 son exhumados y, tras un examen forense, enterrados en 1953, su actual tumba, a los pies de la portada de la iglesia, en el exterior pero dentro del recinto de ésta, bajo una lápida de mármol blanco y negro que reza así:
CÉSAR BORGIA GENERALÍSIMO DE LOS EJÉRCITOS DE NAVARRA Y PONTIFICIOS MUERTO EN CAMPOS DE VIANA EL XI DE MARZO DE MDVII.
Hay quien no tiene inconveniente en que los restos de César Borgia sean inhumados en otro emplazamiento más digno, aunque no dentro de la iglesia, ya que es una práctica no autorizada actualmente.
Pero en Viana el nombre de César Borgia aún perturba y no parece que a nadie le impresione pisar su tumba al entrar en la iglesia.
Hijo de un Papa, mecenas de Leonardo, inspirador del Príncipe, de Maquiavelo, símbolo de las luces y las sombras del Renacimiento, al pie del templo, bajo las losas del atrio y frente a la portada renacentista de Santa María de Viana, a Cesar Borgia, aún le espera una larga penitencia.

Abused & Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
Arrived at The Dog Palace just after 7:AM.
Did my best to be real quiet so I could spend
some time with The Pipsqueak. But, about one
minute after arriving Mama and Rocky came flying
in at a hundred miles an hour. Big stories, toe licking
and spinning in giant circles went on for sometime. ;-)
Took awhile to get all the supplies into The Bingo Room.
Got organized then realized the regular routine
wasn't in play. So, With both dogs in tow we head
up to the roof for a photo op. And at that point it was
easy to see, both dogs didn't have much energy at all.
Apparently they had just finished eating before I arrived.
Fair enough, grabbed a bag of kibble and the nuns gift
and headed over to The Hooligans Turf. Mama & Rocky
stop at the boundary line as I continue forward in search
of The Hooligans. As I came walking past The Spirit Cave
a rather large male primate came charging straight at me !
It was easy to see the bag of kibble was his intended target.
Just as he started to leap towards the bag my right foot came
up and caught him square in the chest propelling him about 3
feet into the air and off to my left. A small group of men sitting
over where the head monk sits started cheering and shouting.
Just another day at the office ;-)---
DJ, Angel Eyes, Boo Boo and Two-Ton-Two-Tone
all showed up and started right in with their
usual hooliganism antics, Big Fun ;-)-
From The Hooligans I head back towards the nuns
picking up Mama & Rocky on the way. Rocky is
limping on his front paw an has a good size
chunk of hide missing by his left ear.
Looks to be about 5-6 days old.
Bad Boy, he'll live, ;-)---
Ok, now we'll talk about The Sad Pipsqueak photo.
First, I can't remember if I took this photo when we
were up on the roof or later when we came back ?
Anyway I loaded up a bag of kibble and some
extra puppy food in gravy and hung them
on the monks door that lives temp at
The Dog Palace. He might be
leaving in October for a
pilgrimage up North.
So here's the story -
Pipsqueak has always lived right outside
The Leg-Mans door. His whole world takes
place within 5 feet of that door. When he goes
poop or pee he races down to the far corner of
the courtyard then scampers back to the safety of
The Leg-Mans door. This is his entire world nothing
more. But yesterday the monk found Mr Leg-Man in
the jungle next to The Dog Palace passed out having
convulsions. An ambulance was called and they took
him to a government hospital. Nobody knows his name
or even if he has a family. Remember he was just dumped
here like an unwanted dog. I kept an eye on him and from
time to time kept sandals on his feet, shirts on his back and
pants covering his legs. Even taught him to say his version of
"Hello" = L-O , close enough cuz it made him a happy man ;-)-
Right now nobody knows where they took him cuz there's
no name to track him with. In the last few months I watched
his health go down hill fast. His brain was already scrambled
from whatever had happened to him in the past but in my
opinion I feel there was, or is a brain tumor at play here.
We can only pray for him. I do not expect to see him again.
Still we had some fun times and he left me with fond memories.
Here's another , IMO.
Most likely The Pipsqueak will end up
living with Mr Kind Monk, Molly and Blondie.
When the temp monk leaves The Dog Palace
there won't be anyone to look after Pipsqueak.
The nuns and monk will work it all out for him ;-)
A Big Thank You for your donations.
We are always in desperate need
of funding to help the innocent
animals dumped in this
dangerous jungle.
Thank You.

Here's one from a couple of weeks ago. I had initially dismissed it but with a bit of work on the Raw file I got something out of it after all.
And with thanks to Wikipedia -
Hypholoma fasciculare, commonly known as the sulphur tuft or clustered woodlover, is a common woodland mushroom, often in evidence when hardly any other mushrooms are to be found. This saprotrophic small gill fungus grows prolifically in large clumps on stumps, dead roots or rotting trunks of broadleaved trees.
The "sulphur tuft" is bitter and poisonous; consuming it can cause vomiting, diarrhea and convulsions. The toxins are steroids known as fasciculols and have been shown to be calmodulin inhibitors.

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy
When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd surrounding them, and some teachers of religious law were arguing with them. When the crowd saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe, and they ran to greet him.
“What is all this arguing about?” Jesus asked.
One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, “Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal him. He is possessed by an evil spirit that won’t let him talk. And whenever this spirit seizes him, it throws him violently to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast out the evil spirit, but they couldn’t do it.”
Jesus said to them, “You faithless people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
So they brought the boy. But when the evil spirit saw Jesus, it threw the child into a violent convulsion, and he fell to the ground, writhing and foaming at the mouth.
“How long has this been happening?” Jesus asked the boy’s father.
He replied, “Since he was a little boy. The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.”
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”
When Jesus saw that the crowd of onlookers was growing, he rebuked the evil spirit. “Listen, you spirit that makes this boy unable to hear and speak,” he said. “I command you to come out of this child and never enter him again!”
Then the spirit screamed and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him. The boy appeared to be dead. A murmur ran through the crowd as people said, “He’s dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
Afterward, when Jesus was alone in the house with his disciples, they asked him, “Why couldn’t we cast out that evil spirit?”
Jesus replied, “This kind can be cast out only by prayer.”
[Mark 9:14-29 NLT]
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!
BELLO E MORTALE. Nerium oleander L.
Oleandro
Arbusto sempreverde coltivato per i fiori vistosamente colorati e profumati di mandorla amara. Tutta la pianta è velenosa: anche il solo contatto con la linfa provoca eritemi e vescicole e tale tossicità permane anche dopo il disseccamento, la bollitura e la bruciatura, tanto che pure il fumo risulta nocivo. I principi attivi sono dati dai glucosidi oleandrina, neriina, neriantina, folinerina, adinerina e da sostanze resinose e tanniche. La sua tossicità è nota sin dall’antichità. In India era chiamato kajamaraka, “l’erba che fa morire il cavallo”. Si narra che alcuni soldati napoleonici morirono per aver usato il legno d’oleandro quale spiedo per arrostire le carni. Si sono verificati casi d’avvelenamento causato dall’ingestione di chiocciole che si erano alimentate con le foglie di questa pianta.
Può risultare tossico anche il miele prodotto dalle api che visitano i fiori d’oleandro. L’avvelenamento si presenta con vomito, vertigini, diarrea, dilatazione della pupilla, sonnolenza, sudorazione fredda, aritmie cardiache, allucinazioni e convulsioni, sino a perdita di coscienza, fibrillazione atriale e ventricolare, sincope. L’azione terapeutica dei glucosidi dell’oleandro è simile a quella della digitale, con caratteristiche cardiotoniche. Si ha rallentamento del ritmo cardiaco ed aumento dell’ampiezza e della forza delle contrazioni sistoliche. L’impiego deve avvenire esclusivamente sotto controllo medico.

En todos los sentidos la tormenta había pasado y ahora que observaba el mar en calma, sentada en lo que alguna vez fue un viejo muelle, no comprendía porque su vida se había convulsionado tanto.
Es cierto que lo que había sentido por él, no lo había sentido nunca antes por nadie pero ahora que la tempestad había cesado y no era más que un recuerdo abandonado en un rincón de su memoria, casi se avergonzaba de haberse sentido tan abatida y deprimida.
Igual que el potente viento había limpiado la playa de todo rastro de inmundicia el huracán de sentimientos que la había arrasado había desempolvado su espíritu.
Por ahora disfrutaba “viendo el tiempo pasar” pero no le cabía la menor duda que tras la calma, seguro, vendría una nueva tormenta y la verdad es que se sentía ansiosa por sentir sus devastadores efectos.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refuted his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. --And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Sorry Flickr Friends but I can not view any of you photos as Flickr is having some sort of technical convulsion this evening, the Flickr Friends page just will not load.
Same thing going on with the upload page, I had to use the old upload page to add a photo to my stream tonight as the "New Upload Page" just will not load.
I'd say the problems are unexpected but I've been with Flickr long enough to know just the opposite, there is nothing new going on here, just more of the same old, same old.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained, and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For protecting them by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren.
We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here.
We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare.
That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown,
and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved;
and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce,
and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Hay encuentros que son marcados por el destino.
Superviso mi proyecto fotográfico con el maestro Valerio Bispuri. Generoso maestro. Nos encontramos en Buenos Aires un día de paro nacional, en un contexto de país , convulsionado. Se intereso y conmovió con las historias que se entrecruzan en el proyecto. "Tenés este tejido, Sabes lo que yo haría ? Tomo el último punto , tiro del hilo y empiezo a destejer. Vas de atrás para adelante. Arrancas del punto donde llegaron tus abuelos no desde dónde partieron por que vos estas de éste lado del mundo. te vas al hotel de inmigrantes.Yo no sabía que existía tal cosa. Ahí partí , estaba con mi cámara ya sin baterías y con un lente 40 - 100 mm que me había llevado para hacer retratos.
El lugar no estaba disponible pero alguien me permitió sacar fotos de afuera y me habrá visto tan conmovida que me ofreció buscar los datos de mis abuelos en una base de datos . Ahí estaban. Fue impresionante En 1925 entró una familia de Torino que partió del puerto de Genova en el Buque Valdivia y llega a Argentina el 20 de abril de ese mismo año. María Luisa Dematteis de 35 años, Francesco Rossi de 31 años Y Rossi desconocida de 7 años ( Tía Vanna). Empecé a hacer con la cámara el recorrido que ellos hicieron desde la dársena norte entrando al hotel ( y la batería que aparecía en rojo en la pantalla era desesperante) Quería ver lo que ellos vieron y tocar lo que ellos tocaron. Que deben haber sentido? Voy a volver más entera. continuará... Gracias Valerio. Te debo una.

Extraordinarily beautiful and intoxicatingly poisonous!
Datura stramonium has been used as a mystical sacrament in North America and South Asia. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva was known to smoke Datura. People still provide the small green fruit of Datura during festivals and special days as offerings in Shiva temples. Although lay devotees smoke marijuana as a devotional practice during religious festivals like Shivaratri (the Night of Shiva), they do not smoke Datura because its effects can be unpredictable and sometimes fatal. Aboriginal Americans in North America, such as the Algonquin and Luiseño have used this plant in sacred ceremonies. The genus name is derived from dhatura, an ancient Hindu word for a plant. Stramonium is originally from Greek, strychnos στρύχνος "nightshade" and maniakos μανιακός "mad".
All parts of this plant are poisonous. Effects from ingestion range from flushed skin, headaches, hallucinations, convulsions and even coma. Datura stramonium, known by the common names jimson weed, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, thorn apple, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, datura, pricklyburr, devil's cucumber, hell's bells, moonflower and, in South Africa, malpitte and mad seeds, is a common weed in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Parts of the plant, especially the seeds and leaves, are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Due to the elevated risk of overdose in uninformed users, many hospitalizations and some deaths are reported from this use.
It is an erect annual herb forming a bush up to 3–5 ft tall. The leaves are soft, irregularly undulate, and toothed. The fragrant flowers are trumpet-shaped, white to creamy or violet, and 2.5 to 3.5 in. long. The egg-shaped seed capsule is walnut-sized and either covered with spines or bald. At maturity it splits into four chambers, each with dozens of small black seeds. The seed is carried by birds and spread in their droppings. It can lie dormant underground for years and germinate when the soil is disturbed. People who discover it growing in their gardens and are worried about its toxicity have been advised to dig it up.
In the United States the plant is called Jimson Weed, or more rarely Jamestown Weed, taking this name from Jamestown, Virginia where British soldiers were drugged with it while attempting to suppress Bacon's Rebellion. They spent 11 days generally appearing to have gone insane.

Nos miramos
me aproximo a ti
sonreímos
yo te quiero aqui
No me mires, no pienses mas
no me preguntes, no quiero hablar
no te arrastres te gustará
es mejor dejarte llevar
Es un roce
un gemido
convulsiones
y tus gritos
Lentamente recorro tu piel
y tus manos se clavan en mí
ahora siento tu cuerpo latir
empapado muy cerca de mí
te gustará, te gustará, te gustará

Bon día, esta obra tiene su historía, más bien ha nacido a raiz de ella, hace unos días paseando por la calle con mi eterno bastón, me dió un ataque de estrés postraumático. Tuve la suerte que apenas a dos metros se hallaba un banco, recé para poder llegar hasta él, gracias a Dios me senté justo cuando me dió las convulsiones y perdía la capacidad de hablar a la vez que mi mente quedaba bloqueada, estuve así mucho tiempo, podía oír y ver entre nebulosa a las personas alejadas de mi mirándome y sin acercarse ninguna para auxiliarme, en aquellos momentos me sentí muy vulnerable, desamparada y muy frágil, nadie vino a socorrerme, hasta me pareció que me grababan, mientras el sufrimiento subía peldaños, los demás seguían observándome como un fenómeno de circo, hasta que, cuando las convulsiones fueron más fuertes, oí a una jovencita exclamar - ! qué le pasa, señora !, una adolescente que vino a socorrerme y con ella sus padres, gracias a Dios y a ellos no llegué a caerme del banco, poco a poco fuí recuperándome, y la madre a la que cogí la mano sólo por sentir su calor humano, que no estaba sola, no me soltó hasta que pasó todo. Agradezco con toda mi alma a esa familia que me auxilió y a la jovencita que fue más fuerte su empatía y corazón, que su temor o indiferencia, Dios les bendiga y también a las estatuas de sal.
Esta humilde obra es una denuncia a la falta de humanidad, aunque, por suerte, aún quedan buenas personas que se dejan arrostrar por la fuerza del corazón.

NZ's first lighthouse, Pencarrow, lit for the first time
1 January 1859
Pencarrow Lighthouse arrived in Wellington on 21 June 1858 on board the barque Ambrosine. The 480 packages were initially unloaded at Rhodes and Company's wharf. They remained there for a number of months, the provincial government having unsuccessfully tendered for a vessel to transfer them to Pencarrow Head.
Finally in September 1858 the local brigantine Caroline was used to transfer the packages. This took a number of days, and once ashore the packages still needed to be hauled up the hillside to the lighthouse site. A tramway with a steam-driven winch was reportedly used to haul up the heavier parts.
Pencarrow Lighthouse, 1880
Despite these delays, Edward Wright, who was supervising the lighthouse's construction, made good progress. By 20 October 1858 the provincial government was able to advise the general government that the lighthouse would be ready by 1 January 1859 and ask that a notice be issued to mariners. The government agreed to publish the notice amid murmurings that this did not indicate support for the province's actions.
On New Year's Day 1859, almost 20 years after Wakefield had first raised the need for a light, Pencarrow Lighthouse was lit for the first time. Wellington's settlers celebrated not only the facility they had long demanded, but also the opening of the first lighthouse in New Zealand.
The surrounding area
Aside from maintenance to the tower and changes to the light mechanism, the lighthouse itself has hardly changed in 150 years. But there were significant additions to the surrounding area, particularly to address the ‘constant problem' of fog.
In 1898 an audible guncotton fog signal was erected beside the lighthouse. Another New Zealand first, it produced explosions of guncotton at 15-minute intervals whenever the light from the lighthouse was obscured by fog. This system was replaced with a compressed-air diaphone signal in 1927; this gave a blast of three seconds every minute.
Lighthouses at Pencarrow Head
In 1906 a second lighthouse, which would become known as Lower Pencarrow, was erected at the bottom of the Pencarrow cliffs. It was designed to be used when fog, or cloud, obscured the upper level light, and also to work with the upper light as a day mark.
Baring Head lighthouse under construction
In latter years the presence of the fog signal would prove more significant to those living at the lighthouse than the light itself. Its presence ensured an ongoing role for a keeper after a new automated lighthouse at Baring Head became operational in 1935 and Pencarrow was used solely as a day mark.
Keepers and their families lived on land at Pencarrow Head from 1852, before the permanent lighthouse had even been erected. Members of the Bennett family, the first lighthouse keepers, had to put up with ‘temporary' accommodation until they left in the 1860s. It wasn't until 1871 that the government erected new residences for the keepers. These remained largely unchanged until the late 1940s, when they were renovated and bath and wash houses were added. Other structures erected at the station over the years included a schoolhouse, cowshed and store.
When the fog signal was automated in 1959 it took away the need to have staff permanently stationed at Pencarrow. In 1960 the last keeper was transferred from the station and three years later the station buildings, including the keepers' residences, were demolished.
Changing role
As the lighthouse's significance as a navigational aid declined, recognition of its importance as a historic place increased. On 20 February 1959 a plaque was unveiled by the Minister of Marine, W. A. Fox, celebrating the lighthouse's centenary. The plaque had been provided by the recently formed National Historic Places Trust, which had recognised Pencarrow Lighthouse as an historic place under the Historic Places Act 1954.
At the time the land and buildings were owned by the Marine Department (the province having sold the lighthouse to the general government in 1865). It transferred the land and station buildings to the Department of Lands and Survey in 1960, but retained ownership of the lighthouse. In 1966 it decided the lighthouse was no longer required as a navigational aid and it was transferred to the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT — now Heritage New Zealand). In 1979 the lighthouse was gazetted as part of an historic reserve of 2044 square metres and NZHPT was appointed to control and manage the reserve.
Pencarrow Lighthouse documentary
For a number of years after the building stopped being used as a lighthouse repairs and maintenance had been neglected. Between 1974 and 1980 a significant restoration project was completed by the Ministry of Works and Development, at the request of the NZHPT. Maintenance is now a regular feature of the building's life. For example, in 2008 the roof and corroded rafters were replaced, and the ceiling, wall panels and weather vane were repaired.
NZHPT celebrated the lighthouse's sesquicentenary on 1 January 2009 with a tour led by Helen Beaglehole, author of Lighting the coast: a history of New Zealand's coastal lighthouse system.
A family tradition
In 1852 George Bennett began what was to become a family tradition of lighthouse-keeping at Pencarrow. His wife, Mary Bennett, took on the role after his death in 1855, while their youngest son, William Bennett, was an assistant keeper during the 1880s.
First lighthouse at Pencarrow Head
George was one of Wellington's first settlers, arriving from England on board the New Zealand Company ship Cuba on 3 January 1840. His future wife, Mary Jane Hebden, arrived just over a month later on board the Duke of Roxburgh. They married in November that year.
By the time George became lighthouse keeper at Pencarrow in early 1852, he and Mary had five children. The living conditions they encountered were appalling. In a letter to the Colonial Secretary in August 1852, George complained that the house was ‘neither wind or water proof'. The authorities were unsympathetic. The harbour master noted that the house was ‘as proof against the weather as wooden houses usually are in an exposed situation'. George's request for a salary increase was also declined.
Later that year the Bennetts' two-and-a-half year old daughter Eliza died. Her death can probably be attributed to their poor living conditions, which C. R. Carter observed first hand on an 1853 visit:
The interior of this building – a lighthouse and dwelling combined – was accessible to rain on all sides and in heavy gales it rocked and shook so much as to frighten the keeper and his family out of it, who in that case, took refuge in a sort of cave or cabin, which he had scooped out of the side of a hill, over which he had fixed a thatched roof and in which he had built a rude stone chimney. This cabin was his house of refuge and his cooking place. Altogether it was a most wretched place for any civilised human being to live in, even in New Zealand.
The family suffered another blow in June 1855 when George was killed in a boating accident. He and others were thrown out of the pilot's boat when crossing Barrett Reef in bad weather. While the others swam to safety, George clung to a rock and was washed away.
The Bennett children
Mary stayed on at Pencarrow and took over manning the light. She probably had little alternative. At the time of George's death she had five children and was pregnant with another. It would have been difficult for her to find another position, and widows' pensions were not introduced until 1911. And despite George's earlier complaint, the position may have been comparatively well paid. Certainly after Mary's official appointment as lighthouse keeper in 1859 her salary of £125 pounds per annum (plus firewood) compared well to the £20 or £30 per annum a domestic servant could expect at the time.
Women lighthouse keepers
Taking over from an absent or deceased husband was common for daughters and wives in the United States during the 19th century. Mary Clifford's book Women who kept the lights: an illustrated history of female lighthouse keepers describes how ‘members of [keepers'] families, including wives and daughters, learned to keep the lights burning when their men were away. When a male keeper fell ill or died, many of these women simply took over their husband's or father's duties, often receiving official appointments because there was no pension system for them’.
Mary Bennett remains the only woman to have been a lighthouse keeper in New Zealand. In her history Lighting the coast, Helen Beaglehole notes that it was uncommon for wives to even assist their husbands in light-tending duties: ‘mostly the women's lives were separate'.
Mary's assistant keeper, William Lyall, was less impressed with a woman being appointed lighthouse keeper. A year later he complained that he could not ‘undertake another winter with the help of a woman only'. He asked that something be done, but ‘without disadvantage to Mrs Bennett'. His request appears to have been ignored. In 1864 Marine Board officials reported that both Mary and Lyall had held their ‘respective offices' since 1859 and had ‘apparently conducted their duties in an orderly and efficient manner'. According to family sources, Mary returned to England with her children in 1865.
The family's connection to Pencarrow did not end there. In 1871 the Bennetts' three sons returned to New Zealand. William, the youngest, perhaps forgetful of the deprivations of lighthouse life, joined the lighthouse service in 1880 and was appointed an assistant keeper at Pencarrow. He and his family lived there until 1885, when he was transferred to Portland Island, Mahia. He left the service two years later.
Later keepers
Because of a policy that ensured keepers were transferred between lighthouses every three years, no other keeper or family would stay at Pencarrow as long as the Bennetts did. As a result far less has been written about the experiences of the keepers that followed them.
Houses near Pencarrow Lighthouse
Certainly, their living conditions improved over time, the government finally erecting new residences in 1871. But these could not prevent the loss of another keeper's child during the 1890s: Evelyn, the seven-month old daughter of Sidney and Sarah Woods, died of dysentery and convulsions on 9 March 1896. There is no further record of significant improvements to the residences until they were renovated and repaired during the 1940s.
Pencarrow Lighthouse, c.1900
One aspect that barely improved during the period keepers were stationed at Pencarrow was access. When the wife of principal keeper Parks took ill in 1910 it was quicker for the doctor to sail on a ship the following morning than to come overland on horseback. The situation improved when a road was constructed out to the lighthouse as part of the Hutt Valley Drainage Board's new sewage scheme during the 1950s. Even then, a trip into ‘town' still took a few hours, although keeper R. J. Jones and his wife were reportedly pleased that supplies could be ordered and delivered weekly.
Ho visto
pachidermi di pece in processione,
scuro plasma in bastionate
lento profilarsi, incombere;
giganteschi, effimeri còrvidi
città divorare, inermi
nei voraci becchi, come vermi
da terra stanate;
nei lampi mutare le ombre,
curvarsi atterrite ai tuoni,
nascondersi;
l'ozono entrare di corsa
dentro finestre e narici.
Ho visto
un ventre lacerarsi, in convulsione,
aprirsi alle metamorfosi;
grafite piovere su pascoli
devastati dal calpestio dei cinghiali,
zolle separarsi dal cielo e crollare,
enormi bocche di nere dionee
spalancarsi ed ingoiare interi
agghiacciati mondi.
Poi, l'inaspettato
magnificarsi di tutto nella fuga
dell'Apocalisse, forse intimorita
da embrioni di liquida luce
stellare oltre percosse nubi.

For all that I know about regret. For all that I know about despair and repentance. For all that I have gathered through graft and experience about hardship, I now find myself unable to control the convulsions of this bilious ague. My guts are stirred restlessly by a growing compunction for my cold-fisted ways.
It is only here and now, surrounded by this charcoal debris that I see the unnatural, straining pose caused by those righteous ties. Those solid binds of guidance, born of a meticulous parental care in my eye were nothing but ragged knots snapped into place by a heavy patriarchial hand. How did I expect them to last in such a life? What did I think would happen when all that energy, all that friction found a moments release? How did I not foresee this and would I have acted if I had?
