Cyrus the Great was the founder of the Persian Empire under the Achaemenid dynasty
He respected the customs and religions of the lands he conquered...
The text of the cylinder denounces the deposed Babylonian king Nabonidus as impious and portrays Cyrus as pleasing to the chief god Marduk. It goes on to describe how Cyrus had improved the lives of the citizens of Babylonia, repatriated displaced peoples and restored temples and cult sanctuaries
Having reached agreement with the British Museum for a four-month loan of the Cyrus Cylinder, the National Museum of Iran put the cylinder on display in Tehran in September 2010. It was installed at the National Museum by a joint group of Iranian and British archaeologists and specialists and more than400000 people visited it...Unfortunately photography was forbidden and I've taken these photos from posters out of museum

پرآوازه ترین شهریار ایرانزمین ، کسی که خوبیهایش از بدیهایش بسیار پر رنگتر بود. پدر کوروش پارسی و مادرش مادی بود و نتیجه این پیوند اتحاد اقوام درون فلات ایران برای همیشه تاریخ شد ...شخصیت بزرگ تاریخ ایران و جهانگشایی که با مردم سرزمین های ملحق شده به سرزمینش با نیکی از وی نام میبردند وی کوروش دوم یا کوروش بزرگ بود ...کوروش موسس سلسله هخامنشیان
به مناسبت نمایش منشور کوروش در ایران عکسهایی از منشور معروف وی را آپلود کردم ...لازم به ذکر است که با توجه به ممنوعیت عکاسی این عکسها را از روی پوستر های معرفی و تبلیغاتی گرفتم ...متاسفانه برای گرفتن عکس و نگاهی طولانی تر از 3 دقیقه میبایست رنج سفر و هزینه بالای رفتن به کشور انگلستان را متحمل شویم تا آنجا بشود به راحتی عکاسی کرد و زمانی بیشتر را بر درک بیشتر این نوشته های تاریخی را بدست آورد
(بیش از 400000 هزار نفر از این منشور بازدید کردند)
ترجمه کامل منشور کوروش بزرگ در لینک پایین بخوانید... مهمترین بخشهای این منشور بیان احترام به ملتها و مذاهب میباشد و بدون نام بردن از قوم یا مذهبی خاص ، به آزادی همه زندانیان در بند را در این منشور اشاره شده است

Representation of Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church, as a sphinx located in Gilgal Garden.
Gilgal Sculpture Garden is a small public city park, located at 749 East 500 South in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The park, which is filled with unusual symbolic statuary associated with Mormonism, notably to the Sphinx with Joseph Smith's head, was a labor of love designed and created by LDS businessman Thomas Battersby Child, Jr. (1888-1963) in his spare time. The park contains 12 original sculptures and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems and literary texts. Gilgal Sculpture Garden is the only designated "visionary art environment" in the state of Utah.
The name "Gilgal" is sometimes translated to mean "circle of standing stones," an appropriate appellation for a sculpture garden. Gilgal is also the name of a city and a valley in The Book of Mormon, a sacred scripture in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. -- Courtesy Wikipedia
The Sphinx is the best-known sculpture in Gilgal Garden. It is also, Child wrote “the basis of thought or inspiration for all that is built around it.” The contrast of the unhewn stones arranged to suggest a crouching animal with the finely carved face of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith makes this a remarkable piece. Child carefully selected the huge quartzite stones to form the Sphinx’s body and hired sculptor Maurice Brooks to create the face using an oxyacetylene torch.
The Sphinx represents Child’s belief that the answers to life’s great questions cannot be discovered with the intellect, but only through faith. The sphinx is an ancient symbol of riddles and mystery. Joseph Smith’s face symbolizes Child’s conviction that the LDS Priesthood reveals to mankind the answers to life’s mysteries.

Founder and long-time head of Jaguar Cars Ltd., Sir William Lyons (1901-1985) took a close hand in the styling of his company’s products. The result was a succession of cars that set fresh standards of style and elegance, befitting the Jaguar slogan of “Grace, Space and Pace”. The Mark VII saloon epitomised the Lyons’ philosophy, being produced between 1951-56. Much of the total production of 30,969 was exported, the Mark VII enjoying particular success in US markets. One notably featured in the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock film, ‘Vertigo’, being driven by Kim Novak around the streets of San Francisco.
This example has been cherished by a New Jersey owner but was seen wintering in St. Pete FL. It carries some interesting badges on its fender, notably ones for the RAC (Royal Automobile Club) and the Liverpool Motor Club.
I captured this photo during a relaxed evening stroll on our recent family trip to Abu Dhabi. To the right, you'll notice the gleaming stainless steel centerpiece of the Founder's Memorial, while to the left, the impressive Etihad Towers loom large. The Founder's Memorial holds a special place as it pays homage to Sheikh Zayed, the UAE's founding father, and symbolizes his visionary aspirations for the nation—a dream of unity, progress, and prosperity. It's an iconic landmark in Abu Dhabi, widely recognized. What immediately drew my attention in this photograph was the enchanting play of light, and I was thrilled to have a tourist in the frame to offer a sense of scale to the monument.

LUGNuts' founder Lino Martins has graciously given me permission to replicate his series of automotive illustrations based on various mixed alcoholic drinks.
The next in this series is a Lego -model replication of Moscow Mule' - Zil-130 Truck.
.
In Lino's own words:
"I’m aware that designing vehicles based on mixed drinks is a fairly irresponsible thing to be doing. I have friends who are in recovery or simply choose not to drink and for them I have something cool in mind that will finish out this series. My friend Buell Richardson had a couple of suggestions that I felt rather uneasy about drawing in these rather sensitive times so instead I have rendered the Moscow Mule in hopes that he can still appreciate my design choices in doing so. I went with a custom Soviet ZIL-130 pickup truck in olive green. The Moscow Mule drink itself is not that visually interesting but it is usually served in a copper mug. This got me thinking to adorn the truck with hammered copper gas tanks, rims and other accessories. Buell enjoys painting gaming miniatures and does it quite well so I incorporated a base for the truck that makes it look like it could be one of his painted miniatures. The background is a faded sunburst in colors reminiscent of old Soviet propaganda art. I couldn’t resist finishing off the piece with a red star and hammer and sickle design on the side of the truck. The end result is something I like quite a bit and I hope that you all do too. Stay tuned as I draw more of your suggestions and remember always drink responsibly and never drink and drive."
"In the early thirteenth century seven young Florentines formed a confraternity of laymen devoted to the praise of Mary. In 1233, after a vision on the feast of the Assumption, they took up the life of hermits on Monte Senario outside Florence. They went preaching through the whole of Tuscany and founded the order of the Servants of the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as the Servites, whose foundation was approved by the Pope in 1304. Their feast is celebrated today because one of the seven founders, Saint Alexius Falconieri, died on 17 February 1310."
This altar dedicated to the Seven Servite Founders is in the church of Our Lady of Dolours in Chelsea, London.
How about another autumn shot? The color is done down here. The tips of these aspen have been wind stripped. Who knew? We headed over through the old Lump Gulch mining area off the Peak-to-Peak Highway on our way to the Moffat Tunnel for fall colors and I found this on eDDie's circuitous route to the tunnel. Sheesh! We never found a single mountain peak at either end of the Peak-to-Peak Highway. Maybe this is as "peak" as we are likely to find. Not only that, it's hard to believe that the entire aspen works here might be one organism.
Here is more autumn and colorful leaves from my autumn treks but are these at peak. I probably have a load yet to edit. Some of 'em are a'comin', some of 'em are a'goin.' Wasn't that an old timey saying? These aspen are nearing peak o' the season are surely in a secluded spot. Fall is ever fickle here. This scene is kicking up my serious wanderlust; what's the time? Maybe it is possible to get lost in here? Could I get somewhere? Could I get nowhere? I suppose that someone wants me to finish rheir work project. I bet this would ba a dandy spot to sleep other than where the D&RGW Mallets were pounding their way up grade to the Moffat! The nights are nippy up here. Ahh, just my style. It's about time for southern newcomers who came to smoke, bail for winter.
Looks like a glorious spot for a trek to me! Who cares where it might lead. A guy can wander, take in the color and sniff up the perfume. Who knows what might turn up if I just took off.
The conifers return at the back of the lots logged for house lots. The undergrowth and the trees get thicker and thicker from here.
I’m very excited to bring my first movie review of 2017 to you guys today! I’m going to set a goal for myself to see more movies than I did in 2016, so it all starts here with The Founder! Well, technically this movie is a 2016 movie, but that’s only because it came in limited release in December for Oscar consideration, but since it was in wide release this weekend, I’m counting this movie as a 2017 movie. I was very excited to see this movie because I thought this story was one that needed to be told and I really liked the trailers. Anyways, let’s check it out!
Good: Like I said before, I’m glad that this story was told because the creation of McDonald’s is really interesting and they adapted the story very well in this movie. Everyone in the cast gave a stellar performance, Michael Keaton as Ray Kroc was obviously the best part of this movie, I think this is my favorite performance of his besides Birdman. This movie really was a rollercoaster of how you felt about Kroc. At first, you felt bad for him and you rooted for him when he was creating this McDonald’s empire, it felt like a true american story. But then you really started to hate him as the movie continued on because of the way he treated the McDonald brothers. Speaking of the McDonalds brothers, also enjoyed the character of Dick McDonald played by Nick Offerman. The way Offerman captured Dick McDonald and all the things he invented for McDonald’s was so cool and how he and Kroc clashed in this movie was thrilling! The other performances were great in this movie, but I feel like those two stood out the most. Now I think my favorite part of this movie was the aesthetic. What I mean is I dig the 60s fast food restaurant vibe this movie had, it made me want to go back in time and have an original McDonald's burger and fries! Anyways, I think the filmmakers perfectly captured the time period of this movie!
Bad: My biggest complaints I have with this movie are really just technical stuff. I was not a fan of the sound mixing and the editing of this movie. In terms of sound, I felt this movie was really muffled and quiet, the soundtrack wasn’t all that great either. As for the editing, I caught some really weird flaws in the editing. There’s this one moment where Kroc’s at the cashier counter and McDonald’s and there there two area where you could order, Kroc was at first ordering from the left cashier, and then when they gave him his food, he was all the sudden on the ride cashier, like the the scene was accidently mirrored or something. My final gripe with this film was I wasn’t quite a fan of the storyline between Kroc and his wife, I don’t think they did a good job portraying it, those scenes felt rather lifeless.
In the end, I had a really good time watching the “origin story” of McDonald’s and this rather “rise of an empire” feel it had. I believe if you are either interested in the movie by the story, the trailers, or the performances that may get some Oscar nods, you should definitely go see this movie! I’m going to give The Founder an 8/10. If you have seen this movie, let me know what you thought of it in the comments below!
