Mummies of Ancient Eggypt: Rediscovering 6 Lives
From July 14 to October 26, the CaixaForum Madrid cultural space hostsed an exhibition made up of a collection of objects on loan from the British Museum in London, which explores the idea of mummification and analyzes the testimony of six people who lived in the Ancient Egypt.
This sample contains six mummies of people who lived between 900 and 150 BC. C. in Egypt. Thus, through a non-invasive investigation carried out with the most modern technology, the discoveries that have been achieved by the hand of these specimens are exhibited.
Through scientific and historical evidence, it is possible to observe what life was like in these lands, the tools and techniques used for mummification, the medicinal recipes with which they were cured, the diet of those people, cosmetics and adornments, music, cultural exchanges and even the role of women and children in the Egypt of the pharaohs.
Mummification became a common practice in ancient Egypt, believing that the body had to be preserved in order to reach the afterlife. For them death was just the beginning and this represented the separation between the body and the soul.
The first mummies are dated between 4000 and 3000 BC. C. and it is thought that this practice could have come from accidentally unearthing some corpses, which had dried due to the heat of the desert. By keeping much of their physical appearance, they tried to manually mimic this preservation. In this way, they dried the deceased by extracting the viscera from the body and then dehydrated them with natron and embalmed them.

(I thought about titling this "yes, we have no natto"...) For those who don't know, natto is a Japanese delicacy made of fermented soy beans. They taste OK but have an odor best left to those who can't smell. Given the earthquake and resultant blackout, natto fermentation was disrupted and entire batches of it had to be thrown out. The process is sufficiently long enough that yesterday, when I took this picture at a grocery store in Kitahiroshima, almost no natto was available despite it being ten days after the earthquake. The signs are saying the store will sell only one package (which comes with three small containers) of natto per sale. (No government rationing of any kind occurred during the minor shortages and blackout - all rationing was done by individual stores based on what they had on hand.) Just this evening, I saw a news segment on a local TV station that showed at least one store in Sapporo got a large shipment of natto - there were many happy customers who filled their shopping baskets with natto. So I suppose the great natto shortage is at an end.
Actually, tofu is also being rationed (at least it was at this store) due to a long processing timeline. Other grocery stores seemed to have sufficient quantities of tofu but we didn't pay attention to the natto situation there...
Note how dark it looks in this store - they were trying to conserve power. The earthquake took out four of four turbines at the main Hokkaido power plant (one may be restarted tomorrow) and so there is voluntary (with lots of peer pressure on compliance) power savings - lots of stores have dimmed their lights, for example.
We are doing the same by using propane gas for cooking more than our microwave, turning off all but the most essential lights, and the like. We're walking a lot more right now, as well, to save on gas.
At least my favorite bottled coffee (Suntory Boss Cold Brew) wasn't in short supply in most stores... I did make my own hot coffee a few days in an effort at some self-rationing...
[19 September 2018]: We visited another grocery store today and found more natto rationing... I guess the Great Natto Shortage is still on.
I found this awesome curio end table online -perfect for a vintage toys!! It’s 20” x 20” and the top section is all glass. For the money, it’s a great display piece.
Description: Thomas Smillie was the Smithsonian's first photographer and curator of photography, beginning his career at the institution in the 1870s. In 1913 he mounted an exhibition on the history of photography in the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries Building, showcasing many of the remarkable advancements made in the field that he feared had already been forgotten or disregarded.
Creator/Photographer: Thomas Smillie
Birth Date: 1843
Death Date: 1917
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1843, Thomas William Smillie immigrated to the United States with his family when he five years old. After studying chemistry and medicine at Georgetown University, he took a job as a photographer at the Smithsonian Institution, where he stayed for nearly fifty years until his death in 1917. Smillie's duties and accomplishments at the Smithsonian were vast: he documented important events and research trips, photographed the museum's installations and specimens, created reproductions for use as printing illustrations, performed chemical experiments for Smithsonian scientific researchers, and later acted as the head and curator of the photography lab. Smillie's documentation of each Smithsonian exhibition and installation resulted in an informal record of all of the institution's art and artifacts. In 1913 Smillie mounted an exhibition on the history of photography to showcase the remarkable advancements that had been made in the field but which he feared had already been forgotten.
Medium: Cyanotype
Culture: American
Date: 1913
Collection: Thomas Smillie Collection (Record Unit 95) - Thomas Smillie served as the first official photographer for the Smithsonian Institution from 1870 until his death in 1917. As head of the photography lab as well as its curator, he was responsible for photographing all of the exhibits, objects, and expeditions, leaving an informal record of early Smithsonian collections.

After a powerful hurricane brought destruction to our area, C. F. Martin and Company created a guitar from the wood that had fallen in Jacobsburg State Park, near us. They used the same source of wood to create a display case that holds the guitar in the Environmental Education Center.
After 25 years of collecting Diecast vehicles, I have donated the collection to a museum in Clarksville Georgia. The name of the museum is, Miles Through Time Museum
For those of you who asked how this was done, here are pics to help you out. This was rather simple but having pics would take the guess work out of doing this for yourself.
The 1st row is only 2 plates high and then the minifig base on top. In the 1st row each fig has a stud of space in between them with the 1st fig on each side in 1 stud.
The 2nd row is 2 bricks and 2 plates high and then the fig base. In the 2nd row each fig has 2 studs of space in between them with the 1st fig on each side in 3 studs.
This arrangement was pleasing to my eye as I felt the spacing in between each fig was symmetrical and afforded clean sight lines to each fig.

A nifty occupational photograph from probably c. 1867 of a merkin salesman. Merkins, or pubic wigs, were handy because pubic hair was considered desirable in a prostitute, but they usually had to shave to get rid of lice. The wig was also useful in covering up venereal evidence. I suppose that they were also discretely sold to non-professional women as well - although I can't imagine this guy going door-to-door!
I wonder if he grew his beard like that for advertising reasons…?

One of my favourite works, back on display at the Tate after more than four years.
The display case in the centre background contains The Singer's companion piece Applause.
Over the years I was always fascinated with sailing ships and the men and women who worked them -whether in peacetime or war. As a fine artist, I produced many paintings and drawings of these vessels which are in collections both in the United States and abroad.
Today as a craftsman, I continue to challenge myself to take this work to another level. Meaning, to use the wood medium in defining my subject matter - combining research and draftsmanship to balance the final presentation. Using the wood medium not only brings attention to the work, but it has defined my skill in setting these pieces into another genre of maritime that few have ever approached.
This photo, after much research and study, illustrate the color concepts that were carried on both ship and crew of CONSTITUTION during the War of 1812.
