…at the lobby of the Trump int. Hotel & Tower Panama, by Fernando Botero Angulo (born April 19, 1932) is a Colombian figurative artist. His works feature a figurative style, called by some "Boterismo", which gives them an unmistakable identity. Botero depicts women, men, daily life, historical events and characters, milestones of art, still-life, animals and the natural world in general, with exaggerated and disproportionate volumetry, accompanied by fine details of scathing criticism, irony, humor, and ingenuity.
Self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, he came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. Working most of the year in Paris, in the last three decades he has achieved international recognition for his paintings, drawings and sculpture, with exhibitions across the world. His art is collected by major museums, corporations and private collectors.

I'm obviously improving on getting the focus right with stationary objects anyway! It has also become evident that I should have a 'hands' set.......
This is a glimpse of the female figure, from two twenty foot tall sculptures standing either side of the elevators, on the ground floor entrance of the Time Warner Building at Columbus Circle.
The sculptor, Botero, has established a reputation for his rendering of very generously proportioned men and women, in both painting and sculpture. I was pleasantly surprised to see that two anatomically correct, but enormous nude figures depicting 'Adam & Eve' were tolerated, in what I had perhaps erroneously considered might be a conservative country, with respect to the frank portrayal of nudity in public art..
I'd also just like to say thanks to the folk from the NYC Social Group on flickr, who were so helpful in the run up to our arrival and during the stay there. In particular Lasadh in the run up to AND throughout the whole trip but also, Aaron Edwards before we arrived, and amg2000, Harry J Bizzarro, RubyMae, Simon Pride for joining us for a flickr-walk in the drizzle at Brooklyn's Greenwood Cemetery, and on our last evening. Finally, on our last day our completely chance encounter with NYCArthur who on our last morning before flying home, spotted us taking photographs, wandered over and said... "Do you know of flickr?"! :)
Velvia & B&W still to come!

Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Maya Angelou
The painting is "Woman Undressed" 1987 by Fernando Botero. This poem by Maya Angelou hangs in my cubicle at work and I go back to it over and over again. I got to see Maya Angelou speak at the university where I work last year and it was indeed phenomenal. I've dealt with my own body issues over the years, up and down on the scale, and on a small scale some eating disorders as well.
This poem reminds me what it's all about.

Known worldwide, the reputation of Harry’s Bar is well established and its history is unbelievable. Giuseppe Cipriani, creator and soul on the bar, was a passionate man. Born in 1900, this great humanist traveled a lot and worked in the biggest hotels in Europe. One night, at the bar of the Europe Hotel where he was a barman, he met Harry Pickering, a young disillusioned and wealthy American and lent him 10.000 liras. A few months later, Pickering gave him his money back, with interests! With those 40.000 liras, Giuseppe opened Harry’s Bar. A legend was born. The biggest artists then frequented this legendary bar: Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, Truman Capote, Georges Braque, Peggy Guggenheim… The most renowned drinker has been Ernest Hemingway who had an appointed table for many years. Giuseppe Cipriani also invented a famous cocktail in Harry’s Bar: the Bellini, made of Prosecco (Italian champagne), mashed white peaches and a pinch of sugar, served ice cold. Following the success of his bar and its unique atmosphere, he also opened the Cipriani restaurant and the Cipriani Hotel.

Fernando Botero calls this painting Still Life with Watermelon / Naturaleza muerta con sandia. He has very descriptive titles.
Desert Botanical Garden as part of the Fernando Botero installation has an exhibition highlighting his paintings, drawings, and smaller sculptures in Dorrance Hall.
Fernando Botero (Colombia, 1932-2023) Still Life with Watermelon / Naturaleza muerta con sandia 1973. Oil on Canvas / Oleo sobre lienzo. 68 5/7,x 74 5/8 inches / pulgados. Private Collection / Coleccion privada
The neutral quality of the subject matter in still life enables the painter to focus on purely formal matters. As Botero once stated, "I do not wish to convey metaphysical feelings . . . I want to view themes from a painterly perspective, not as a commentator, a philosopher or as a psychoanalyst. I do not want to express profound thoughts on the world or on life in general. I wish I could always paint as if I were depicting fruits."

Fernando Botero Angulo (19 April 1932 – 15 September 2023)[2] was a Colombian figurative artist and sculptor.[3] His signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He was considered the most recognized and quoted artist from Latin America in his lifetime,[4][5][6] and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris, at different times.[7]
Self-styled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists",[8] Botero came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. He began creating sculptures after moving to Paris in 1973, achieving international recognition with exhibitions around the world by the 1990s.[9][10] His art is collected by many major international museums, corporations, and private collectors, sometimes selling for millions of dollars.[11] In 2012, he received the International Sculpture Center's Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award.[12]
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.

CHICO NOVARRO
CANTATA A BUENOS AIRES
Cómo no hablar de Buenos Aires
si es una forma de saber quién soy.
Si es la única ciudad donde se puede
estacionar el corazón a toda hora,
cruzar el sol de contramano y, en un baldío,
ver un show de grúa y topadora.
Una ciudad donde siempre hay un lugar abierto
y en cada bar, una mesa donde arreglan el mundo
los que quedaron despiertos.
Una ciudad donde todos opinan
si hasta se forma una selección en cada esquina.
Cómo no hablar de Buenos Aires
si es una forma de saber quién soy
Buenos Aires,
donde quiera que te nombre una canción
nace un bache
y en el medio del asfalto hay una flor.
Yo te encuentro
apretando en un zaguán el metejón,
a la vuelta de un nostálgico salón,
tras un baile de disfraz,
típica y jazz, pálido adiós.
Y una luna que se pinta para entrar
por el balcón.
Una ciudad que se cuelga
en los ojos de los que van llegando
y se hace nudo en el alma de los que la van dejando.
Que tiene tanto como tanto le pidan:
angustia, soledad, piedad y cuento,
un carnet de coqueta y los mil y un inventos.
Una farmacia de turno el 24 a la noche,
una pareja en coche,
un domingo flaco y porteño,
dos plateas para el cielo atendido por su dueño.
Un buzón, un balcón
y una escalera para subirse a un sueño.
Cómo no hablar de Buenos Aires
si es una forma de saber quién soy.
Buenos Aires,
una estrella va subiendo a un tobogán.
Piedra libre,
para un tango de Cadícamo y Cobián.
Yo te encuentro
en el tránsito infernal de una estación,
en la breve intimidad de un ascensor
compartiendo la emoción
por la final de un Nacional,
muzzarella de cemento y bodegón,
tu corazón, ¡Tu corazón!
The only truly hateful thing about the countries of the Caucasus is the smoking. They badly need some health education.

Fernando Botero Sculptures in Medellin
Written by Stephen Bugno on October 25, 2010 ·
By Stephen Bugno
After Pablo Escobar, Medellin, Colombia’s most famous son is Fernando Botero. He is perhaps South America’s most beloved artist. You might recognize his art as those characterized by the use of distorted proportions, or more simply, his people and animals look a little fat. I’ve been bumping into Botero’s work around Europe over the years, but was first introduced to him via a 1993 exhibit in the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, France.
In Plaza de las Esculturas, also known as Plaza Botero you can find 23 of his sculptures, out in the open.
bohemiantraveler.com/2010/10/boteros-sculptures-in-medellin/
Botero is an abstract artist in the most fundamental sense, choosing colors, shapes, and proportions based on intuitive aesthetic thinking. Though he spends only one month a year in Colombia, he considers himself the "most Colombian artist living" due to his insulation from the international trends of the art world.
Fernando Botero Angulo (born 19 April 1932) is a figurative artist and sculptor from Medellín, Colombia. His signature style, also known as "Boterismo", depicts people and figures in large, exaggerated volume, which can represent political criticism or humor, depending on the piece. He is considered the most recognized and quoted living artist from Latin America, and his art can be found in highly visible places around the world, such as Park Avenue in New York City and the Champs-Élysées in Paris

The Palacio de la Cultura Rafael Uribe Uribe was designed in a neo-gothic style by the Belgian architect Agustín Goovaerts and constructed 1925-1937, but parts of the building remained unfinished and were not completed until much later.

Gualti is an artist, a poet, a dreamer, an enchanter, a lover of nature and Murano. He took on the crazy bet of combining each one of his passions in his creations that spring out of this head with a lot of energy and poetry. The organic forms that inspire him become magical in contact with glass and turn into creatures, like an extension of our own bodies. Clothes, shoes, precious glass jewelery, his art is close to the fragility of nature. Yet, it draws his strength from it. This extravagant creator stands on the verge of reality, showing us a sweet illusion, as he likes to call it. Discover his universe at the occasion of the Canival of Venice.

Vêtements, chaussures, bijoux de verre précieux, son art est proche de la fragilité de la nature. Pourtant c’est de là qu’il tire sa force.

Leda e il cigno (Leda and the swan) - Fernando Botero
The Hague Sculpture brings in 2006 an international bestseller, 15 large new sculptures of the Colombian artist Fernando Botero (1932) on the Lange Voorhout in The Hague.
For more information, please check www.denhaagsculptuur.nl.
Leda and the swan
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The motif of Leda and the Swan from Greek mythology, in which the Greek god Zeus came to Leda in the form of a swan, was rarely seen in Gothic art, but resurfaced as a classicizing theme, with erotic overtones, in Italian painting and sculpture of the 16th Century. The most familiar examples are the copies of Leonardo da Vinci's lost painting, with the two sets of infant twins, 1508; Correggio's elaborate composition of c. 1530 (Berlin); and two versions of a lost Michelangelo (illustration, right) that is also known from an engraving by Cornelis de Bos, c. 1563; the marble sculpture by Bartolomeo Ammanati in the Bargello, Florence; and the painting after Michelangelo, c. 1530, in the National Gallery, London. The Michelangelo composition is a definitive example of Mannerism.
Leda and the Swan furnished a common motif for the rapidly unfolding visual arts into the 19th century.
"Leda And The Swan" is a poem by William Butler Yeats first published in 1924. Reviving what had become an insipid classical cliché by combining psychological realism with a mystic vision, it describes the swan's mating with Leda.
According to later Greek mythology, Leda bore Helen and Polydeuces, children of Zeus while at the same time bearing Castor and Clytemnestra, children of her husband Tyndareus, the King of Sparta. As the story goes, Zeus took the form of a swan and slept with Leda on the same night as her husband, King Tyndareus. In some versions, she laid two eggs from which the children hatched. In other versions, Helen is a daughter of Nemesis, the goddess who personified the disaster that awaited those suffering from the pride of Hubris.
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
"Political correctness is tyranny with manners."
- Charlton Heston (1924-2008)
Dr. James Watson's complete D.N.A. blueprint chart taken @ John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Photo & following statement is from Ace Preston's Criminology Series emphasizing that "now science not a jury decides on guilt. We have been convicted by machines not man".
DR. JAMES WATSON: Controversy statements claiming links between race and intelligence
On October 14, 2007, a biographical article written by one of Watson's former assistants, Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe, appeared in the Sunday Times Magazine of his soon to be released memoir "Avoid Boring People: Lessons from a Life in Science".
Watson was quoted as saying he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" as "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours — whereas all the testing [IQ and Standardized testing] says not really."
Hunt-Grubbe stated that Watson's "hope" was "everyone is equal" but quoted him as having said "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true." Furthermore, she suggested that Watson believed "you should not discriminate on the basis of colour..there are many people of colour who are very talented, but don’t promote them when they haven’t succeeded at the lower level."
"there is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so."
"I have always fiercely defended the position that we should base our view of the world on the state of our knowledge, on fact, and not on what we would like it to be. This is why genetics is so important. For it will lead us to answers to many of the big and difficult questions that have troubled people for hundreds, if not thousands, of years"
"Science is not here to make us feel good. It is to answer questions in the service of knowledge and greater understanding."
"We do not yet adequately understand the way in which the different environments in the world have selected over time the genes which determine our capacity to do different things. The overwhelming desire of society today is to assume that equal powers of reason are a universal heritage of humanity. It may well be. But simply wanting this to be the case is not enough. This is not science.
To question this is not to give in to racism. This is not a discussion about superiority or inferiority, it is about seeking to understand differences, about why some of us are great musicians and others great engineers."
Watson has repeatedly supported genetic screening and genetic engineering in public lectures and interviews, arguing that stupidity is a disease and the "really stupid" bottom 10% of people should be cured. He has also suggested that beauty could be genetically engineered, saying "People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty. I think it would be great."
"If you could find the gene which determines sexuality and a woman decides she doesn't want a homosexual child, well, let her."
"That's why you have Latin lovers. You've never heard of an English lover. Only an English patient."
"some people want to believe that evolution stopped 100,000 years ago." He stated that he did not agree with this view and that human differences are not trivial."
Watson resigned from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory...
Who knows more about genetics? You or the Nobel prize winner who discovered DNA? Ace Preston
Following exempts from Make a Wish Foundation:
"I wish to receive a letter from Dr. James Watson.'
Ryo, an 18-year old young adult who lives in Hiroshima, is currently afflicted with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Due to his illness, he became interested in the study of DNA and hereditary diseases. Upon his research he came across the name of Dr. James Watson, who discovered the spiral structure of DNA. The more he read about Dr. Watson and his breakthrough research, the more he wanted to contact Dr. Watson himself.
Not knowing how to go about contacting Dr. Watson, Ryo contacted Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Japan. His wish was to write a letter to Dr. Watson, and hopefully, receive a reply. He wrote a letter (click to view) in English introducing himself and asked for a letter of encouragement from the respected researcher.
To Ryo’s surprise, he promptly received a reply from Dr. Watson. Dr. Watson wrote to Ryo with words of encouragement. These kind words were more than Ryo had expected.
As a high school student, Ryo had been studying very hard to gain acceptance to a college. Unfortunately, he was turned down by his first choice because their facilities are old and are not wheelchair accessible. This was very discouraging to a young man who dreams of doing meaningful research like Dr. James Watson. Just about this time, he received the letter from Dr. Watson, which gave him hope and encouragement. The letter has given him the determination to never give up and pursue his goals.
Understandably, Dr. Watson is a very busy man, but because he took the time to respond to this young man’s letter, he was able to change Ryo’s attitude. This was a much needed change for him, but it could have only been possible because of the kindness of Dr. James Watson.
Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.
- Rachel Carson
"Race! It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today. National pride has no need of the delirium of race.
—Benito Mussolini 1933
Mussolini's rejection of the importance of race during his antagonism towards Hitler contradicted his own earlier statements about race in which he emphasized the importance of race:
When the city dies, the nation—deprived of the young life—blood of new generations—is now made up of people who are old and degenerate and cannot defend itself against a younger people which launches an attack on the now unguarded frontiers... This will happen, and not just to cities and nations, but on an infinitely greater scale: the whole White race, the Western race can be submerged by other coloured races which are multiplying at a rate unknown in our race.
—Benito Mussolini, 1928

Archetypical and Specialized DNA Replication Proteins in Entamoeba histolytica
Guillermo Pastor-Palacios, Varinia López-Ramírez, Cesar S. Cardona-Félix, Elisa Azuara Liceaga, Samuel Lara-Gonzalez, Luis G. Brieba
Abstract
Accurate DNA replication and repair are essential tasks for survival. In eukaryotes, DNA polymerases replicate genomes that can be composed of billions of base pairs. These genomes can be chemically damaged or modified, jeopardizing its integrity, and cells have evolved mechanisms to ameliorate the mutagenic effect of DNA damage. DNA replication and DNA lesion bypass in bacteria, yeast, and humans have been widely studied; however, little is known about these processes in other organisms. Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic protozoan responsible for amebic dysentery and hepatic abscess. Herein, we define the DNA replication apparatus of Entamoeba histolytica and review the biochemical peculiarities of family A and family B2 DNA polymerases involved in DNA lesion bypass. Our data indicate that E. histolytica is a mosaic of archetypical family B DNA polymerases (α, ε, and δ) present at the replication fork and specialized DNA polymerases with novel lesion bypass properties.

A restaurant in Venice specialized in meat! Ai Gondolieru has been there for over a century. It used to be an inn where working and local people came to eat a convivial meal with a glass of good wine. Giovanni Trevisan, the current owner, renovated the place while keeping the typical Venetian spirit alive. He made it into one of the best restaurants in Venice where you can taste the famous and delicious white truffle. This workaholic, lover of his city also manages the Peggy Guggenheim museum restaurant as well as the historical La Fenice restaurant, typical, with very few tourists and an impeccable service. Authentic and unique places, always historical and full of charm.
