“'Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.” -John Fairchild

In the last months, artistic expression has been targeted by state and non-state actors together. Think of names such as Charlie Hebdo and Pussy Riot: what makes them so provocative that they are attacked so brutally? How can art be creative, innovative and satirical without having the freedom to do so?
"Defending Artistic Expression", a workshop organised by the Community's Working Group on Promoting Freedom of Opinion and Expression, dealt with these questions.
Dear Flickrites,
First, it has been a little over one year and a few months since I joined flickr, and I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you. There are so many encouraging thoughts poured into peoples' lives on here, and I always appreciate reading a sweet comment from any one of you; I know others do as well. Words have so much power over us, to do good or harm, and I am glad that most words on flickr seem to be uplifting ones. So thank you for building each other up.
Second, I know that there are forty-three people that entered my print giveaway and didn't win. So I wanted to let everyone know that I'm open to doing a print exchange with anyone that would like to. Simply message me letting me know that you'd like to do one, and I'd be happy to exchange addresses and prints with anyone who has some way of receiving/sending mail. I'll tag people on the side who have expressed an interest in doing a print exchange with me.
Thank you once again,
Amy

We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
- I Thessalonians 5:12-22

Furniture
Central nave and altar
The oldest piece of furniture that can be found in the church today is the Classicist high altar by the Tyrolean sculptor Josef Stumpf. The altar structure consists essentially of two pillars standing on pedestals with Ionic capitals bearing a triangular pediment. Directly below the gable is an ornamental decorative frieze with floral motifs and angel heads. The gable itself carries in its center the Baroque symbol of God: a triangle with an eye in the middle, surrounded by a halo. The altar is flanked by two statues of apostles, probably by the Kufstein sculptor Kaspar Bichler (19th century). From the altar on the right, there is Peter, recognizable by the keys in his hand, and on the left, Paul, identified with the sword and gospel in his hands.
The altarpiece stems from the Tyrolean artist Josef Arnold the Elder (1788-1879) and shows the patron saint of the church (St. Vitus) as a martyr before Mary and Christ. As a martyr, besides the laurel wreath above his head, he also displays one of his attributes - the kettle of boiling hot oil. Arnold's style is a mixture of Classical and Romantic elements: the clothes, posture, facial expressions and gestures of the figures are reminiscent of Heinrich Friedrich Füger, while the coloring is reminiscent of the Nazarenes. In addition to the altarpiece, St. Vitus also houses two other paintings by Josef Arnold the Elder. On the one hand a representation of the Madonna with St. Barbara and St. Catherine of Alexandria on the left side altar, on the other a painting of St. Sebastian, whose wounds are being cared for by the widow of the martyr Kastulus, on the right side altar. All three paintings are from around 1840.
From the wall paintings of the artist Rudolf Stolz from the year 1929 in the vault were those from the first to the third yoke in the nave, two in the gallery and one below the gallery in the entrance area. The first yoke of the nave shows four Old Testament prophets: Daniel, David, Jeremiah, and Isaiah. Each of the prophets holds a banner in his hand, on it quotes from the Bible.
Daniel: "Seventy annual weeks are fixed"
David: "Let us rejoice the Lord our Savior"
Jeremiah: "O ye all ye that pass by, see if a sorrow is equal to my sorrow"
Isaiah: "Behold the maiden shall conceive and give birth to a son, his name shall be Emanuel"
The second yoke shows the four evangelists on the basis of their assigned symbols and inscriptions. In addition, there are various representations about it. In the center of this yoke, embedded in a hole, there is a Holy Spirit dove, surrounded by a golden radiant wreath. Saint John the Baptist is found above the evangelist Mark (Leo), opposite him - above the evangelist Luke (Taurus) - his father, Zacharias. About the evangelist Matthew (winged man) one recognizes Mary at the cradle of Christ, backed by the Bethlehemite star and last, opposite her, above the evangelist John (eagle) Christ with an open book in his hand, on which the Greek letters Alpha and Omega are read. The Greek letters refer to a biblical verse after Revelation 22:13: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end".
Finally, in the vault of the third yoke of the nave, there is a ciphered representation of the Four Last Things. An emaciated figure, wrapped in a death-line, who seems to float away from a grave, stands for death. A trumpet-blowing angel refers to the Last Judgment (see Rev 8: 6-11,19). The risen Christ with the flag of victory in his hand represents heaven. The Archangel Michael, who is just overcoming the dragon, the symbol of Lucifer and all evil, refers to hell. On the shield of the archangel are written the words, "Who is like God" - the meaning of his original Hebrew name.
The vault of the organ loft also contains the depiction of a harp-playing angel playing a violin. Below the violin playing angel is in a banner "Praise the Lord you angels of the Lord" (Dan 3,59 EU) and below the harp playing angel "Glory to God in the high" (Lk, 14 EU, see also Vulgate, Luke 2:14: "Gloria in excelsis Deo"). The last mural of Rudolf Stolz can be found in the area of the main entrance of the church, below the gallery. It shows Christ surrounded by two mothers and seven children.
Otherwise, there are two medieval grave slabs within the church of St. Vitus with relief depictions of the deceased and their coats of arms on it.
Ausstattung
Mittelschiff und Altar
Das älteste Mobiliarstück, welches heute in der Kirche zu finden ist, stellt der klassizistische Hochaltar des Tiroler Bildhauers Josef Stumpf dar. Dar Altaraufbau besteht im Wesentlichen aus zwei auf Postamenten stehenden Säulen mit ionischen Kapitellen, welchen einen Dreiecksgiebel tragen. Direkt unterhalb des Giebels findet sich ein ornamentaler Zierfries mit floralen Motiven und Engelsköpfen. Der Giebel selbst trägt in seinem Zentrum das aus dem Barock stammende Symbol für Gott: ein Dreieck mit einem Auge in der Mitte, umgeben von einem Strahlenkranz. Flankiert wird der Altar von zwei Apostelstatuen, welche vermutlich vom Kufsteiner Bildhauer Kaspar Bichler (19. Jahrhundert) stammen. Vom Altar aus gesehen rechts findet sich Petrus, erkennbar an den Schlüsseln in seiner Hand, und links Paulus, zu identifizieren anhand des Schwertes und des Evangeliums in seinen Händen.
Das Altargemälde stammt vom Tiroler Künstler Josef Arnold dem Älteren (1788–1879) und zeigt den Titelheiligen der Kirche (Hl. Vitus) als Märtyrer vor Maria und Christus. Als Märtyrer weist ihn neben dem Lorbeerkranz über seinem Haupt auch eines seiner Attribute aus – der Kessel mit siedend heißem Öl. Arnolds Stil ist eine Mischung aus klassizistischen und romantischen Elementen: Kleidung, Haltung, Mimik und Gestik der Figuren erinnern an Heinrich Friedrich Füger, das Kolorit hingegen an die Nazarener. St. Vitus beherbergt neben dem Altarbild noch zwei weitere Gemälde Josef Arnolds d. Ä. Zum einen eine Darstellung der Madonna mit der Heiligen Barbara und der Heiligen Katharina von Alexandrien am linken Seitenaltar, zum anderen ein Gemälde des Heiligen Sebastian, dessen Wunden gerade von der Witwe des Märtyrers Kastulus gepflegt werden, am rechten Seitenaltar. Alle drei Gemälde stammen aus der Zeit um 1840.
Von den Wandmalereien des Künstlers Rudolf Stolz aus dem Jahr 1929 im Gewölbe erhielten sich jene vom ersten bis zum dritten Joch im Mittelschiff, zwei in der Empore und eine unterhalb der Empore im Eingangsbereich. Das erste Joch des Mittelschiffes zeigt vier alttestamentliche Propheten: Daniel, David, Jeremia und Jesaja. Jeder der Propheten hält ein Spruchband in Händen, darauf Zitate aus der Bibel.
Daniel: „Siebzig Jahreswochen sind festgesetzt“
David: „Kommet lasset uns frohlocken dem Herrn unserem Heiland“
Jeremia: „O ihr alle die ihr vorübergehet, schauet, ob ein Schmerz gleich sei meinem Schmerze“
Jesaja: „Siehe die Jungfrau wird empfangen und einen Sohn gebären, sein Name wird sein Emanuel“
Das zweite Joch zeigt die vier Evangelisten anhand den ihnen zugeordneten Symbolen und namentlicher Inschriften. Zudem finden sich darüber verschiedene Darstellungen. Im Zentrum dieses Joches, eingelassen in ein Loch, findet sich eine Heiliggeist-Taube, umgeben von einem goldenen Strahlenkranz. Über dem Evangelisten Markus (Löwe) findet sich der Heilige Johannes der Täufer, ihm gegenüber – oberhalb des Evangelisten Lukas (Stier) – sein Vater, Zacharias. Über dem Evangelisten Matthäus (geflügelter Mensch) erkennt man Maria an der Wiege Christi, hinterfangen vom bethlehemitischen Stern und als Letztes, ihr gegenüber, oberhalb des Evangelisten Johannes (Adler) Christus mit einem offenen Buch in der Hand, auf welchem die griechischen Buchstaben Alpha und Omega zu lesen sind. Die griechischen Buchstaben beziehen sich auf einen biblischen Vers nach Off. 22,13: „Ich bin das Alpha und das Omega, der Erste und der Letzte, der Anfang und das Ende“.
Im Gewölbe des dritten Joches des Mittelschiffes schließlich findet sich eine chiffrierte Darstellung der Vier letzten Dinge. Eine ausgemergelte, in ein Totenlinnen gehüllte Gestalt, die einem Grab zu entschweben scheint, steht für den Tod. Ein Posaune blasender Engel verweist auf das Jüngste Gericht (s. Off. 8,6–11,19). Der auferstande Christus mit der Siegesflagge in der Hand repräsentiert den Himmel. Der Erzengel Michael, welcher gerade den Drachen, Sinnbild Luzifers und alles Bösen, überwindet, verweist auf die Hölle. Auf dem Schild des Erzengels stehen die Worte „Wer ist wie Gott“ geschrieben – die Bedeutung seines ursprünglich hebräischen Namens.
Im Gewölbe der Orgelempore finden sich weiters die Darstellung eines Harfe spielenden und eines Geige spielenden Engels. Unterhalb des Geige spielenden Engels steht in einem Spruchband „Preiset den Herrn ihr Engel des Herrn“ (Dan 3,59 EU) und unterhalb des Harfe spielenden Engels „Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe“ (Lk ,14 EU; s. auch Vulgata, Lk 2,14: „Gloria in excelsis Deo“). Das letzte Wandgemälde des Rudolf Stolz findet sich im Bereich des Haupteingangs der Kirche, unterhalb der Empore. Es zeigt Christus umgeben von zwei Müttern und sieben Kindern.
Ansonsten finden sich innerhalb der Kirche St. Vitus noch zwei mittelalterliche Grabplatten mit Reliefdarstellungen der Verstorbenen und ihrer Wappen darauf.
Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski came to New York to be on the Today Show and then had an autograph session afterward. It made me so happy to see that they have the most animated facial expressions just like on the show, and Jenna is the sweetest nicest person ever.
Senior BJP Leader and BJP Investor Cell Punjab State Chief Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal warned Sukhbir Badal to restrain from invading “Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression" enshrined in Article 19(1)(a) of Constitution of India and termed Freedom of Press, "a Treasured Privilege”. Grewal stated that Sukhbir Badal have imposed an undeclared Emergency similar to an Internal Emergency declared by Indira Gandhi in 1975. Grewal stated that the modus operandi of Sukhbir Badal is similar to Indira Gandhi, Late Congress tyrant, who suppressed thought process of the editors through her 3 point programme: allocation of Government advertising; shotgun merger of News agencies; and use of fear arousal techniques on Newspaper Publishers, Journalists and Individual Shareholders. Grewal added that Sukhbir Badal is one step ahead of Indira, apart from ensuring huge allocation of Government advertising, forced takeovers and consolidation of Cable TV Networks through “benami companies” viz. Shan-e-Punjab, DIGI Cable and Fastway Cable and misuse of power against stakeholders of media houses who don’t toe to his line, Sukhbir went on to enterprise his own TV Channels such as PTC Group of TV Channels for self embellishment and quck buck. Since, Sukhbir Badal now controls 95% of the Cable TV Networks, thus Punjab Today and Zee Punjabi News Channels were simply blacked out from Cable TV Networks when they tried to air anything unacceptable to “Chotti Indira Gandhi”.
Grewal equated the current situation with June, 1975, when Indira Gandhi led Congress Government declared a State of Emergency and suspended civil liberties, thereafter the Government tightened its controls on the Indian Mass Media, especially on the Newspapers which had reputation of being free and lively. “Leaders learn from others mistakes and don’t do blunders themselves”, advised Grewal. “Sukhbir shouldn’t create an emergency like situation and repeat historic blunder orchestrated by Indira Gandhi during Internal Emergency of 1975”, added Grewal.
Grewal stressed upon the importance of free mass media in a democratic process of nation building and advised the Press to look beyond advertising. Grewal stated that Sh. L.K Advani, Sardar Prakash Singh Badal and other veteran Leaders of SAD BJP alliance have opposed Internal Emergency declared by Indira Gandhi and even spent Jail terms. Grewal advised Sardar Prakash Singh Badal to intervene and ask Sukhbir to take corrective action else this may result in heavy losses to the alliance in upcoming Lok Sabha Elections as opportunist leaders like Captain Amarinder Singh his adulator Sukhpal Singh Khaira are using the situation as an opportunity to vein false propaganda against SAD BJP alliance.
