Παναγία Πελεκητή: Η «βασίλισσα» των Αγράφων
Είναι ένα από τα μοναστήρια που ξεχωρίζουν. Το τοπίο, η αρχιτεκτονική του, η ιστορία του καθιστούν την Ιερά Μονή της Παναγίας Πελεκητής προσκυνηματικό κέντρο. Βρίσκεται κτισμένη πάνω από την τεχνητή λίμνη Πλαστήρα στην Καρδίτσα και υπάγεται διοικητικά στη Μητρόπολη Φαναριοφερσάλων. Σύμφωνα με τα τελευταία ιστορικά στοιχεία, κτίστηκε πριν από περίπου πέντε αιώνες σε μια απόκρημνη, βραχώδη πλαγιά των Αγράφων, σε υψόμετρο 1.400 μέτρων, βορειοδυτικά του χωριού Καρίτσα.
Η ιστορία της Ιεράς Μονής Παναγίας Πελεκητής έχει συνδεθεί με την πορεία της περιοχής, η οποία συμμετείχε σε όλους τους αγώνες του Έθνους. Κατά την επανάσταση του 1821 η Καρίτσα καταστράφηκε από τους Τούρκους, ενώ το 1943 από τους Γερμανούς. Οι μοναχοί της μονής ήταν εκ των πρωταγωνιστών κατά την απελευθέρωση της Καρίτσας από τους Τούρκους, δημιουργώντας μια διαφορετική σχέση με τους κατοίκους.
Από την ίδρυσή της η μονή δέσποζε στα εκκλησιαστικά πράγματα της περιοχής αφού είχε αναγνωριστεί ως σταυροπηγιακή το 1606 από τον Οικουμενικό Πατριάρχη Ραφαήλ Β΄.
Πελεκητή ονομάστηκε καθώς τα κελιά της δημιουργήθηκαν μέσα στους βράχους σε τέσσερα επίπεδα, όπου οι μοναχοί ζούσαν και λειτουργούσαν το μοναστήρι, ενώ υπήρχε ακόμη και κρυφό σχολειό.
Ο Πορφύριος
Όπως αναφέρει ο Φώτης Κερασιώτης, που έχει ασχοληθεί με την ιστορία της μονής, η ίδρυσή της άρχισε πιθανότατα στα τέλη του 15ου αιώνα από τον Πνευματικό Πορφύριο και ολοκληρώθηκε το 1529 στη σημερινή της μορφή από τον νέο Οσιομάρτυρα Δαμιανό, ο οποίος ιστορείται ως «κτήτωρ» σε δύο τοιχογραφίες της. Το μοναστήρι αγιογραφήθηκε στα μέσα του 17ου αιώνα και έχει δύο ναούς, τον Ναό της Αναλήψεως του Χριστού και τον Ναό της Παναγιάς Φανερωμένης (το Καθολικό).
Το Καθολικό είναι ο κεντρικός και αρχαιότερος ναός, αφιερωμένος στην Ανάληψη του Κυρίου. Είναι μονόκλιτη βασιλική με νάρθηκα, στεγασμένη με κυλινδρική καμάρα, με ενισχυτικό τόξο στο μέσο. Σύμφωνα με σχετική επιγραφή που υπάρχει εντός του ναού, αγιογραφήθηκε το 1654 από τους αγιογράφους Ιωάννη, Νικόλαο Ιερέα και Ιάκωβο Ιερομόναχο.
Ο δεύτερος ναός είναι αφιερωμένος στην Παναγία Φανερωμένη. Είναι αθωνικού ρυθμού, με τρούλο και πλευρικούς χορούς, χωρίς εσωτερικούς κίονες. Οι τοιχογραφίες, όπως προκύπτει από σχετική επιγραφή που υπάρχει επάνω από τη θύρα εισόδου, ιστορήθηκαν το 1666. Ανιστορήθηκαν το 1674 από τον αγιογράφο Ιάκωβο και τον γιο του Δημήτριο.
Γνωστή είναι η μικρή αλλά θαυματουργή εικόνα της Παναγίας Πελεκητής, στην οποία έχει ζωγραφιστεί η Παναγία με τον Χριστό στην αγκαλιά της. Η εικόνα δυστυχώς εκλάπη και αναζητείται για να επιστραφεί στη φυσική της θέση, το μοναστήρι. Ο Ευρυτάνας ιστορικός Πάνος Βασιλείου το 1929 έγραψε τα εξής: «Εκτός της αρίστης Βυζαντινής τέχνης σε τοιχογραφίες, υπάρχει εδώ μια εικόνα (ελαιογραφία 0,04Χ0,03) της Παναγίας με τον Χριστό στην αγκαλιά της, έργο Ραφαηλικής τέχνης. Δεν εξηγείται πώς η μικροσκοπική αυτή εικονίτσα, που θεωρείται και σαν παλαιότερη, αλλά θαυματουργός, βρέθηκε εδώ πάνω. Φέρει χρονολογία 1654.
Η τεχνοτροπία της θυμίζει τον Χριστό του Πρωτάτου του Αγίου Όρους, το γνωστό έργο του Πανσέληνου. Μάλιστα ήταν η εικονίτσα τούτη στολισμένη με 20 πολύτιμες πέτρες από τις οποίες οι 16 αφαιρέθηκαν από… αγνώστους, χωρίς φυσικά τούτου να σημειωθεί σε κανένα, ως τα σήμερα, αστυνομικό δελτίο. Μένουν ακόμα, ευτυχώς, 4 ερυθρόχρωμες πετρούλες στο επαργυρωμένο περίβλημά της που έχει μέγεθος 0,21Χ0,23 μ. και που φέρει επάνω του σκαλισμένα αγγελούδια. Μια απέραντη καλοσύνη ζωγραφίζεται στο χαμογελαστό πρόσωπο της Παναγίας, της οποίας το παιδάκι παρουσιάζει κάτι το αληθινά Θείο και αξιοθαύμαστο για τη χαρούμενη εκφραστικότητά του. Η θαυμάσια αυτή εικόνα της Παναγίας της Πελεκητής θυμίζει Αναγέννηση».
Το μοναστήρι λόγω της περίτεχνης κατασκευής του και της ένδοξης ιστορίας του έχει ανακηρυχθεί «Ιστορικό Διατηρητέο Μνημείο». Δυστυχώς, όμως, από τον πλούτο των εκκλησιαστικών κειμηλίων και της σπάνιας βιβλιοθήκης του ελάχιστα, σήμερα, διασώζονται.
Το μοναστήρι πανηγυρίζει στις 15 Αυγούστου, της Κοιμήσεως της Θεοτόκου. Τα τελευταία χρόνια, ύστερα από σημαντικές πρωτοβουλίες των τοπικών φορέων και άλλων παραγόντων, εξευρέθηκαν τα απαραίτητα χρηματικά ποσά και το μοναστήρι έχει ανακαινισθεί και αξιοποιηθεί, συγκεντρώνοντας πλήθος προσκυνητών από ολόκληρη την ελληνική επικράτεια.
Όταν οι μοναχοί μετακίνησαν τα σύνορα το 1831
Εντύπωση προκαλεί και το εξής περιστατικό: Μετά τη δημιουργία του ελληνικού Κράτους, το 1831, η Καρύτσα (είναι το χωριό κάτω από το μοναστήρι) και ο Μπελεκομύτης βρέθηκαν εκτός ελληνικών συνόρων γιατί καθορίστηκαν επί του Καρυτσιώτη ποταμού, ενώ αυτά τα δύο χωριά βρίσκονται μετά τον ποταμό. Τότε οι μοναχοί μαζί με τους κατοίκους των δύο χωριών μετακίνησαν αυθαίρετα τα σύνορα και τα τοποθέτησαν μετά το μοναστήρι, στο οροπέδιο του Καραμανώλη.
Panagia Pelekiti(rusticated): The "Queen" of Agrafa
It is one of the monasteries that stand out. The landscape, architecture, history make the Holy Monastery of Panayia Pelekiti a pilgrimage center. It is built above the artificial lake Plastira in Karditsa and is administratively subordinated to the Cathedral of Fanariers. According to the latest historical data, it was built about five centuries ago on a steep rocky slope of Agrafa, at an altitude of 1,400 meters, northwest of Karitsa village.
The history of the Holy Monastery of Panagia Pelekiti has been linked to the course of the region, which participated in all the struggles of the Nation. During the revolution of 1821 Karitsa was destroyed by the Turks, while in 1943 by the Germans. The monks of the monastery were among the protagonists in the liberation of Karitsa from the Turks, creating a different relationship with the inhabitants.
Since its founding, the monastery has dominated the ecclesiastical things of the region since it was recognized as a cruciform in 1606 by the Ecumenical Patriarch Raffael II.
Pelekiti was named as its cells were created in the rocks on four levels, where the monks lived and functioned the monastery, while there was even a hidden school.
Porphyrios
According to Fotis Kerassiotis, who has dealt with the history of the monastery, it was probably founded at the end of the 15th century by the Spiritual Porphyry and was completed in 1529 in its present form by the new Omar Martyr Damianos, who is described as a "builder" In two frescoes. The monastery was hagiographed in the middle of the 17th century and has two temples, the Church of the Ascension of Christ and the Church of Panagia Faneromeni (the Catholic).
The Katholikon is the central and most ancient temple, devoted to Ascension of the Lord. It is a one-aisled basilica with a narthex, sheltered by a cylindrical arch, with a reinforcement bow in the middle. According to a relevant inscription inside the temple, it was painted in 1654 by hagiographers Ioannis, Nicholas Priest and Iacob Ieromonas.
The second temple is dedicated to Panagia Faneromeni. It is of the Athonian style, with dome and side dances, without internal columns. The frescoes, as indicated by a relevant inscription above the entrance door, were discovered in 1666. They were painted in 1674 by the icon-painter Iakovos and his son Dimitrios.
Known is the small but miraculous icon of Panagia Pelekiti, in which the Virgin Mary is painted with Christ in her arms. The picture is unfortunately stolen and sought to be returned to its natural place, the monastery. Evrytanas historian Panos Vassiliou wrote in 1929: "In addition to the excellent Byzantine art in frescoes, there is an icon (oil painting 0,04x0,03) of the Virgin Mary with Christ in her arms, a work of Raphael art. It is not explained how this tiny icon, which is considered as an old but miraculous icon, was found here. It dates back to 1654.
The style reminiscent of the Christ of the Protaton of Mount Athos, the well-known work of the Full Moon. In fact, this icon was embellished with 20 precious stones, of which 16 were removed from ... strangers, of course not to mention to anyone, as today, a police record. There are still, fortunately, 4 red-colored petals in its silver-plated casing, which is 0.21 x 0.23 m in size and carved on it with carved angels. An immense kindness is painted on the smiling face of Our Lady, whose child presents something truly divine and admirable for his joyful expressiveness. This magnificent icon of Virgin Mary Pelekite reminds Renaissance. "
The monastery, due to its elaborate construction and its glorious history, has been declared "Historic Preserved Monument". Unfortunately, however, the wealth of ecclesiastical heirlooms and its rare library are scarcely preserved today.
The monastery celebrates on August 15, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. In recent years, after significant initiatives by local actors and other actors, the necessary money has been found and the monastery has been renovated and exploited, gathering crowds of pilgrims from all over Greece.
When the monks moved the border in 1831
The following incident is also impressed: After the Greek State was founded in 1831, Karytsa (the village under the monastery) and Belekomytis were found outside the Greek border because they were established on the river Karytsiotis, and these two villages are afterwards River. Then the monks, along with the inhabitants of the two villages, arbitrarily moved the borders and placed them after the monastery, on the plateau of Karamanolis.

Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/html/HtmlPage.do?pg=/royal/RoyalPalaces...:
If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.

Χριστιανική μαρτυρία
«Αυτός που κυριαρχεί επί των πάντων» κλιπ - Ο Θεός έχει την κυριαρχία επί των πάντων στο Σύμπαν
Η ανθρωπότητα ψάχνει αυτές τις απαντήσεις εδώ και πολλές χιλιάδες χρόνια: πώς μπορούν και βρίσκονται σε τέτοια τέλεια τάξη τα ουράνια σώματα στο σύμπαν; Γιατί όλα τα έμβια όντα κινούνται πάντα σε κύκλους ακολουθώντας αμετάτρεπτους κανόνες; Γιατί γεννιούνται οι άνθρωποι, και στη συνέχεια γιατί πεθαίνουν; Ποιος έχει καθορίσει, αλήθεια, όλους αυτούς τους κανόνες και τους νόμους; Ποιος πραγματικά κυβερνά στο σύμπαν και σ’ όλα τα πράγματα; Αυτό το υπέροχο απόσπασμα από τη χριστιανική ταινία «Αυτός Που Κυριαρχεί Επί Των Πάντων», θα σας καθοδηγήσει στη ρίζα αυτών των ερωτημάτων και θ’ αποκαλύψει όλα αυτά τα μυστήρια.
Η παραβολή των δέκα παρθένων
Excerpt from miyajima.or.jp/english/spot/spot_other.html:
Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on August 29, 1910
Hokoku Shrine is dedicated to the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan in the 16th century) and his loyal aid Kato Kiyomasa. The reason for building this structure is clearly stated in a letter by Ankokuji Ekei, head monk of Ankokuji Temple. In 1587, Ekei asked Daiganji Temple, the temple in charge of construction and repair work in Miyajima including Itsukushima Shrine, to build a Buddhist library in which the chanting of Senbu-kyo sutras could be held every month. As there is no board ceiling or outer gate, it is believed that the construction of the building was not completed.
Originally, Amida Buddha and two subordinate Buddhist saints, Anan and Kasho-sonja, were enshrined in the Buddhist altar until the early Meiji era. Since that time, however, the altar has been used in Shinto rituals.
The building is called Senjokaku (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), reflecting its standing as the largest structure on Miyajima Island. The shrine was a popular landmark in Miyajima where many people came to relax and cool themselves and to buy popular souvenirs such as tooth picks, and a variety of legends and traditions have been created here.
The fact that this structure, unique among the buildings belonging to Itsukushima Shrine, is unpainted and that its exact date of founding is recorded makes it a valuable gauge of the passage of time. The traces of weathering on its pillars and floor boards can be used to determine the approximate age of any other wooden structure on Miyajima.
A piece of wood used as a measuring device in the reconstruction work of the O-Torii in 1873 hangs on a pillar under the floor of the south part of the shrine. Countless votive picture tablets that had been hanging on the walls of Itsukushima Shrine buildings until the mid Meiji era decorate the walls inside the hall.
The shrine did not yet exist at the time of the Battle of Itsukushima in 1555 when the Mori clan defeated the Sue clan to unify the Chugoku region. The headquarters of the Sue clan was located on this hill, which was then called To-no-oka (Pagoda Hill). Starting in the Meiji era, the hill was developed through the establishment of stone steps, among other additions.
Excerpt from www.japan-experience.com/all-about-japan/miyajima/temples...:
Its bare appearance may not intrigue you at first. Only unfinished walls and a hundred pillars. Although the building is pretty, there is something missing. But once inside, look up: the gigantic ceiling is covered with a mosaic of paintings whose subjects are as varied as the styles and periods of implementation. Medieval battles, Buddhist representations, landscapes and animals in a modern style, the eye does not know where to turn.

This huge clock in the Musée d'Orsay — formerly the Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900 — seemed a good companion to a poem I finished writing this morning here in Paris.
Day in — Day out
The tide comes creeping in
Turgid
In no hurry
At all
Day after day
Rising
Then falling
Advancing
Then retreating
Repeating the pattern
Without skipping a single day
Time and tide
They say
Wait for no man
The grandfather clock
Ticking away
The sea rolling in
Day in
Day out

La Segunda venida de Cristo | Ya se han cumplido 7 profecías. ¿Has recibido el regreso del Señor?
Ahora es el final de los últimos días. Muchos hermanos y hermanas, que verdaderamente creen en el Señor y esperan que regrese, deben tener tales preguntas: Jesucristo ha dicho: "Y he aquí, yo vengo presto" (Apocalipsis 22:12). Él nos ha prometido que volverá. ¿Ya regresó? ¿Cómo podemos saber si ha regresado o no?
1. El amor de los creyentes se vuelve frío
Mateo 24:12 registra: "Y por haberse multiplicado la maldad, la caridad de muchos se resfriará". Hoy en día, en las denominaciones y religiones, los creyentes codician el mundo en general, y pocos se dedican a trabajar para el Señor. Algunos de ellos se dedican a negocios, otros están ocupados abriendo fábricas para ganar dinero. Además, los pastores y los ancianos se traman unos a otros, tienen celosas disputas entre ellos. Incluso forman facciones, roban ofrendas y cometen adulterio. Por lo tanto, los seguidores se vuelven cada vez más fríos en su fe y amor y las iglesias se vuelven más desoladas ahora.

"I know I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
And I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
Tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?..."

This red disk-shaped phenomenon, is another member of the TLEs (Transient Luminous Events, happening in the middle and upper atmosphere, above thunderstorms) family and is called sprite halo. Under it, there is a group of, relatively small, sprites. Sprite halo is short-lived (some ms) and its color comes from the same physical process as in red sprites (de-excitation of 1st positive group of mol. nitrogen). Halos appear close to sprite tops (alt. ~80-85 km), over active thunderstorms, like sprites. Sprite halos are usually triggered by -CGs, in contrast to sprites which are related to +CGs (99%). There is also a faint stripe of high clouds in front of the halo. The yellow light is a distant ship.
The event happened over the thunderstorms south of Crete (on the east side of the Medicane on 28/10) as seen from S. Attica during the night of Oct. 28, 2021. Faint parent lightning flash at the bottom, behind a cloud layer, can be seen as well. I've used a Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/4'' with 51.2k iso.

Ευαγγέλιο
Ο Θεός λέει: «Πού θα πας κάθε μέρα, τι θα κάνεις, ποιον ή τι θα συναντήσεις, τι θα πεις, τι θα σου συμβεί — μπορεί να προβλεφθεί τίποτε απ’ αυτά; Οι άνθρωποι δεν μπορούν να προβλέψουν όλα αυτά τα περιστατικά, πόσο μάλλον να ελέγξουν πώς θα εξελιχθούν. Στη ζωή, τα απρόβλεπτα αυτά γεγονότα συμβαίνουν όλη την ώρα και αποτελούν καθημερινό φαινόμενο. Τα καθημερινά αυτά σκαμπανεβάσματα και οι τρόποι που ξεδιπλώνονται ή τα μοτίβα σύμφωνα με τα οποία διαδραματίζονται, αποτελούν, για την ανθρωπότητα, συνεχείς υπενθυμίσεις πως τίποτα δεν συμβαίνει τυχαία και πως η εξελικτική πορεία που παίρνουν αυτά τα πράγματα και το αναπόφευκτο των πραγμάτων αυτών δεν μπορούν να μεταβληθούν από την ανθρώπινη θέληση. Κάθε συμβάν μεταφέρει μια νουθεσία από τον Δημιουργό στην ανθρωπότητα, ενώ στέλνει επίσης το μήνυμα πως τα ανθρώπινα όντα δεν μπορούν να ελέγξουν την ίδια τους τη μοίρα· την ίδια ώρα, κάθε γεγονός αποτελεί ανταπάντηση στην τρελή και άκαρπη φιλοδοξία και επιθυμία της ανθρωπότητας να πάρει τη μοίρα της στα ίδια της τα χέρια. Είναι σαν ισχυρά, επαναλαμβανόμενα ραπίσματα στην ανθρωπότητα, που αναγκάζουν τους ανθρώπους να επανεξετάσουν το ποιος είναι, εν τέλει, αυτός που κυβερνά και ελέγχει τη μοίρα τους. Επιπλέον, καθώς οι φιλοδοξίες και οι επιθυμίες τους καταπνίγονται και γκρεμίζονται ξανά και ξανά, οι άνθρωποι φτάνουν ανεπιτήδευτα σε μια ασυναίσθητη αποδοχή αυτού που τους επιφυλάσσει η μοίρα, μια αποδοχή της πραγματικότητας, του θελήματος του Ουρανού και της κυριαρχίας του Δημιουργού. Από τα καθημερινά αυτά σκαμπανεβάσματα έως τη μοίρα ολόκληρων ανθρωπίνων ζωών, δεν υπάρχει τίποτα που να μην αποκαλύπτει τα σχέδια και την κυριαρχία του Δημιουργού· δεν υπάρχει τίποτα που να μη στέλνει το μήνυμα πως «η εξουσία του Δημιουργού είναι κάτι που δεν υπερβαίνεται», που δεν μεταφέρει την αιώνια αλήθεια πως“η εξουσία του Δημιουργού είναι υπέρτατη”. ... »

iwojimathemovie.warnerbros.com/lettersofiwojima/framework...
... one of the great historical movies of our time. Yesterday I watched this movie with Scotty, a friend of mine from Austin. Scotty was a marine on Peliliu in November 1944 when that island was taken from the Japanese by U.S. Marines. Scotty has one of the medals, seen worn by General Kuribayashi, The Order of the Rising Sun. Scotty told me the intriguing story of how he came to be in possession of the medal, but I don't have his permission to retell it here. The medal is the one General Kuribayashi is wearing around his neck in the illustration here. Scotty promised to bring the medal next time he comes and I'll scan it and make him a color print of this image, so he can have it framed with a picture of it being worn. Scotty's job with the Marines on Peliliu was to repair telephone lines. In 1944 radios were powred through tubes which had very delicate filaments and were often out of order. Communications therefore fell back on field telephones which transmitted over wires. As the wires were discovered and cut by the enemy, Scotty would be sent out to repair them. At first his commanding officer sent two guards to go with him, but after a few trips, Scotty asked permission to go alone, because three marines made too much noise and increased the danger of the assignment.
And so, two old men sat and watched a movie and gained a better understanding of those people we hated so intensely, so many years ago. Even, had they been victorious, the Japanese soldier suffered more than the American soldier, simply because of cultural differences. The movie reveals this abundantly..

The film is based on the non-fiction books "Gyokusai sōshikikan" no etegami ("Picture letters from the Commander in Chief" by General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (portrayed on screen by Ken Watanabe) and So Sad To Fall In Battle: An Account of War[4] by Kumiko Kakehashi about the Battle of Iwo Jima. While some characters such as Saigo are fictional, the overall battle as well as several of the commanders are based upon actual people and events.
In 2005, Japanese archaeologists explore tunnels on Iwo Jima. They find something in the dirt, and the scene changes to Iwo Jima in 1944. Private First Class Saigo, a baker conscripted into the Imperial Japanese Army, and his platoon are grudgingly digging beach trenches on the island. Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi arrives to take command of the garrison and immediately begins an inspection of the island defenses. He saves Saigo and his friend Kashiwara from a beating by Captain Tanida for having uttered 'unpatriotic speeches', and orders the men to stop digging trenches on the beach and begin tunnelling defenses into Mount Suribachi.
Later, Lieutenant Colonel Baron Takeichi Nishi, a famous Olympic gold medalist show jumper, joins Kuribayashi for dinner. They discuss the grim prospect of no naval or air support and the fanaticism their fellow officers would show. Kuribayashi evacuates the civilian population of Iwo Jima to mainland Japan. He clashes with some of his senior officers, who do not agree with his strategy of defending inland instead of the beaches; Kuribayashi believes the Americans will take the beaches quickly, and only the mountain defenses will have a better chance for holding out against the enemy.
Poor nutrition and unsanitary conditions take their toll on the garrison; many die of dysentery, including Kashiwara. The Japanese troops begin using the caves as barracks. Kashiwara's replacement, a young soldier named Superior Private Shimizu, arrives for duty on the island. Saigo and his friends suspect that Shimizu is a spy sent from Kempeitai to report on disloyal soldiers since he was trained at a Kempeitai institute. The first American aerial bombings occur shortly after, causing significant casualties. After the raid, Saigo is sickened when he sees the corpse of a friend, still sitting upright. Another casualty was Jupiter, Baron Nishi's horse, which was also killed by a bomb. The raid forces the Japanese to dig deeper into the volcanic island. A few days later, U.S. Marines land on Iwo Jima and the Japanese open fire. The battle for Iwo Jima begins.
As the landings occur, the American troops suffer heavy casualties, but the Japanese beach defenses are quickly overcome, and the attack turns to the defensive positions on Mount Suribachi. Saigo assists the defense by carrying ammunition to machine gunners. When a Japanese machine gunner is killed by a shell from an American ship, Saigo is ordered by the company commander to use his rifle, since the machine gun is damaged. He handles it so clumsily that he is sent to retrieve some machine guns instead. While delivering the request from his company commander to the commander of the Suribachi garrison, Saigo overhears General Kuribayashi radioing orders to retreat northward. The Suribachi commander, however, ignores the order from the general and instead orders Saigo to deliver a message ordering the men of his company to commit suicide. The Japanese soldiers of Saigo's unit commit suicide with grenades, including Saigo's friend Nozaki, and Captain Tanida shoots himself in the head with his Type 14 8 mm Nambu Pistol, but Saigo runs away and leaves the cave with Shimizu, convincing him that it is more productive to continue the fight rather than die. They come across two other Japanese soldiers, but one gets incinerated by an American flamethrower through a hole in the tunnel, causing the three remaining soldiers to flee. They then come across Japanese soldiers beating and tourturing a captured Marine (There are beliefs the captured Marine was Ralph "Iggy" Ignatowski). The Marine pleads to the Japanese to have mercy on him, although his plea falls on deaf ears as the Japanese soldiers stab him to death with bayonets, much to Saigo's disgust.
Saigo and the remaining Japanese soldiers in Mount Suribachi attempt to flee under the orders of Lieutenant Oiso and flee the tunnels at night. However, they run into U.S. Marines, who wipe out all the Japanese troops except for Saigo and Shimizu. The two men flee to friendly lines, but they are accused by Lieutenant Ito of deserting Suribachi. Ito raises his katana to execute Saigo and Shimizu for cowardice when General Kuribayashi appears to stop the punishment, confirming that he had indeed ordered the retreat and thus saving Saigo for the second time.
The soldiers from the caves attempt a futile attack against American positions, with the Japanese taking heavy losses. Saigo and the surviving soldiers are told to regroup with Colonel Nishi. Ito then heads towards the American lines with three land mines, intending to throw himself under an American tank. The next morning, heavy fighting takes place. The Japanese take casualties, but manage to kill several U.S. Marines and destroy a tank. Lieutenant Okubo, Nishi's executive officer shoots a U.S. Marine, who is subsequently captured by Nishi's men. He reveals his name to be Sam, and Nishi orders his medic to give him aid despite the Japanese's dwindling medical supplies. Despite their efforts, the Marine dies of his wounds. Nishi reads a letter the American received from his mother.
As a bomb hits Nishi's cave, Nishi is badly wounded and blinded. His men bind his wounds, and Nishi orders them to another position on the island. As a last favor, he asks Lieutenant Okubo to leave him a rifle. After leaving that position, the soldiers hear a distant gunshot from Nishi's cave.
Being fed up with the battle, Saigo says to Shimizu that he will surrender to the Americans and does not care if Shimizu reports this to the Kempeitai. Shimizu divulges to Saigo that he had been dishonorably discharged from the Kempeitai. In a flashback, it is revealed that he was discharged because he refused to obey a superior's order to kill a barking dog. He was then reassigned to Iwo Jima. This causes Saigo's attitude towards Shimizu to soften considerably. Shimizu breaks down and fearfully asks Saigo to surrender with him. Shimizu and another soldier attempt to flee the cave where they are stationed. Okubo orders them to halt; when they fail to stop, he shoots the other soldier while Shimizu escapes.
Shimizu surrenders to a U.S. Marine patrol and finds himself in the company of another Japanese soldier who had surrendered. The patrol moves on, leaving Shimizu and the other Japanese soldier and two Marines. One of the American guards, who does not want to be burdened with POWs, later shoots them, much to the other Marine's surprise and the two catch up to their patrol. The dead soldiers are discovered by the Japanese and Lieutenant Okubo points it out as a lesson for anyone else who wishes to surrender. Saigo, deeply saddened by his death, puts Shimizu's senninbari on his dead body.
Meanwhile, Ito has not come across any American forces to attack. Desperate, exhausted, and malnourished, his fanatical will breaks and when American Marines find him, he surrenders.
Saigo and the remaining survivors find that Kuribayashi's cave is under attack, and a fierce battle rages. They charge through the crossfire, and lose several men, including Lieutenant Okubo who successfully neutralizes an American Browning M1919 machine gun and its crew. They enter the cave under a storm of American bullets, meeting up with Kuribayashi, who recognizes Saigo. One last attack with all the remaining men is planned. Kuribayashi orders Saigo to stay behind and destroy all the documents, including his own letters to his family. By this, Kuribayashi saves Saigo's life a third time. Kuribayashi and his remaining troops launch their final attack. Most of Kuribayashi's men are killed, and Kuribayashi is critically wounded.
Kuribayashi's loyal aide Fujita drags him away from the battle. The next morning, Kuribayashi orders his aide to behead him; however, the aide is shot dead by an American sniper as he raises his sword. Saigo appears at this moment, having buried some of the documents in the cave instead of burning them all. Summoning his last reserves of strength, the very weak Kuribayashi asks Saigo to bury him so that nobody will find him. Kuribayashi then draws his pistol, an American M1911 — revealed in two previous flashbacks to be a gift Kuribayashi was given in the United States before the war, at a party in which he was the guest of honor — and shoots himself in the chest. Saigo carries away the dead general (unknowingly leaving the pistol behind near Fujita) and buries his body at another location.
Later in the day, a patrol of American Marines come across Fujita's body. One Marine claims Kuribayashi's pistol and another claims Fujita's sword as war trophies. They then search the area and find an exhausted Saigo with a shovel in his hand. Upon seeing the pistol tucked into a Marine's belt, Saigo swings angrily and wildly at the Americans with his shovel. Too weak to fight properly, Saigo is knocked unconscious with a rifle butt and is taken on to a U.S. aid station on the beach. Awakening a while later, he glimpses the setting sun, with ships in the distance, as well as a U.S. truck, and smiles grimly.
The scene shifts back to the Japanese archaeologists who uncover the bag of letters written by Japanese soldiers on the island, never sent, that Saigo buried in 1945. As the letters fall from the bag, the voices of the fallen Japanese soldiers are heard reading from them.

The story so far: The Dreamer loses his Pearl in a grassy mound - evidently her grave. He swoons with grief, and awakens in an earthly paradise, through which there runs a beautiful stream. The land on the opposite bank seems even more beautiful. He wanders further down the stream, hoping to find a bridge or a ford. Just when he starts to become afraid of the dangers that may be in store for him, he sees a young woman sitting at the foot of a crystal cliff on the opposite bank, and instantly recognises her as his lost Pearl. He hails his Pearl and expresses his relief that she still exists, but she begins to reprove him for his lack of faith. She criticises him for only believing that her soul is immortal now that he can see her, and is shocked by his suggestion that he - a mortal man - has a hope of joining her in Paradise without first experiencing death.
He tells her that for him to walk away from her now that he has found her again would be to suffer a fresh bereavement. She replies that it is divinely decreed that he cannot cross over to her. The Dreamer pleads with his Pearl to accept that his rash questions were borne out of his great grief, and asks her to describe her life in Paradise. She relents, and tells him that she is crowned Queen of Heaven, and is married to the Lamb. The Dreamer is shocked by this assertion. He says that he thought only the Virgin Mary was Queen of Heaven. Pearl replies with a description of a-semi egalitarian heaven in which all inhabitants are kings and queens, and asserts that although Mary has pre-eminence, none of those in heaven would ever question it, because she is so “courteous”. She cites the Pauline notion that the church is the body of Christ in support of her claim.
The Dreamer is even less convinced than before. He wonders how she can have been instantly crowned a Queen of Heaven when she was on the earth for less than two years. She replies at length, citing the parable of the labourers in the vineyard as justification for her rapid advancement in the kingdom of Heaven. She continues to retell the parable, and concludes by insisting that like the workers who worked less than two hours in the vineyard, she was first in line for God’s reward when she reached Heaven. The Dreamer cannot understand. Surely, he argues, those who have endured a lifetime’s pain and temptation must have precedence. She responds that those who die as children die innocent, whereas those who have lived longer are more likely to be tainted by the world, and argues that the Dreamer is underestimating the grace of God. She continues by expounding a series of Biblical texts on the theme of righteousness and justification, culminating with the scene from the gospels in which Christ welcomes the children, and reproves his disciples for attempting to repel them. She continues to expound on this theme, reminding the Dreamer that Christ insisted that one must become like a little child in order to approach him.
The Dreamer admits that she is stupendously beautiful, but wonders how she can have won the title of Queen and bride of Christ, in the face of stiff competition: all those other women who have gone to heaven. Her reply draws upon the Old Testament prophets and the Book of Revelation: the Lamb which was slain in Jerusalem will return to govern the New Jerusalem as its King, with a company of a hundred and forty-four thousand wives – one of whom is the Pearl. She describes the state of bliss experienced by all the brides of the Lamb, and the worship that is offered to him. The Dreamer asks her for a boon: he wants to see the heavenly city or fortress where she lives. She describes the spotless city of the New Jerusalem, and he is so entranced by the glory she describes that he repeats his request to be taken to see it. She grants his request, even though he will not be able to set foot inside the city, and he follows her upstream until he can see the heavenly City. At first, he cannot lift his eyes beyond the twelve tiers at its base, each one wrought of precious stones – with the exception of one, which is fashioned out of pearl. Now, he begins to look up at – and through – the City itself, awed beyond belief by its beauty. He realises that no mortal could ever enter the city and survive its sublime excess – and sees a throng of a hundred thousand and more women, all dressed and jewelled like his Pearl, approaching the throne of God in the company of the Lamb.
Pearl: Part 19
Just as the rising, marvellous moon
Drives the ebbing day-gleams down,
It shakes the very soul of man
To know this City – of rich renown –
Is thronged with retinues of women:
All virgins, wearing the same gowns,
Answering the same unseen summons
As my own bejewelled and blissful one –
And all of them are likewise crowned,
Dripping pearls, and draped in white.
In each one’s breast is firmly clasped
A blissful pearl of great delight.
In great delight they glide together
On golden, glinting, glassy roads;
A hundred thousand of them gather,
All rigged out in matching robes,
Each as radiant as the other.
The splendid Lamb before them rides
With seven horns – a lather
Of priceless pearls encrusts his clothes,
And without clamour, the virgins close
In upon the throne, their ranks all white.
Like maidens at Mass, they rise in rows,
Pouring forth with great delight.
The delight the Lamb’s coming brings
Is too intense for me to tell:
The aldermen, when he arrives,
Swoon at his feet. No pen could spell
Out how that angel-legion throngs,
With thuribles, the delightful smell
Of incense eternally on the rise,
And for that Jewel, their praises swell:
They quake the Earth and cleave Hell.
The virtuous orders of angels smite
My heart. I long to sing as well,
And lose my soul in their delight.
Delighting in the Lamb, I reel,
Rapt in wonder. Just out of reach
He seems: more regal and real
Than prophets could spell out in speech,
His garments all glorious, the seal
Of graciousness upon his face. I search
With wild eyes the wound that spills
His heart’s blood, in a great gush,
The skin so torn. I swoon and lurch,
Sick to think that sin and spite
Thrust in the spear and raised the lash.
Can men do this, and take delight?
And yet, delight is on his face
Despite that open, gushing sore:
The agony has left no trace
On his expression – an exultant stare.
Around him, his retinue of grace,
Lambent with life, enough to sear
My eyes. And there, looking utterly in-place,
My little Queen. Did she stand near
Me in that glade? Christ! I can hear
Her laughter, mingling with the mass, all white.
I must wade these waters, face my fear
With love, and longing for delight.
Late fourteenth century poem, written in a north-west midland dialect of Middle English, paraphrased by Giles Watson.
THE SIXTH EXTINCTION
Exerpts by Niles Eldredge
There is little doubt left in the minds of professional biologists that Earth is currently faced with a mounting loss of species that threatens to rival the five great mass extinctions of the geological past. As long ago as 1993, Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson estimated that Earth is currently losing something on the order of 30,000 species per year — which breaks down to the even more daunting statistic of some three species per hour. Some biologists have begun to feel that this biodiversity crisis — this “Sixth Extinction” — is even more severe, and more imminent, than Wilson had supposed.
Extinction in the past
The major global biotic turnovers were all caused by physical events that lay outside the normal climatic and other physical disturbances which species, and entire ecosystems, experience and survive. What caused them?
The previous mass extinctions were due to natural causes.
First major extinction (c. 440 mya): Climate change (relatively severe and sudden global cooling) seems to have been at work at the first of these-the end-Ordovician mass extinction that caused such pronounced change in marine life (little or no life existed on land at that time). 25% of families lost (a family may consist of a few to thousands of species).
Second major extinction (c. 370 mya): The next such event, near the end of the Devonian Period, may or may not have been the result of global climate change. 19% of families lost.
Third major Extinction (c. 245 mya): Scenarios explaining what happened at the greatest mass extinction event of them all (so far, at least!) at the end of the Permian Period have been complex amalgams of climate change perhaps rooted in plate tectonics movements. Very recently, however, evidence suggests that a bolide impact similar to the end-Cretaceous event may have been the cause. 54% of families lost.
Fourth major extinction (c. 210 mya): The event at the end of the Triassic Period, shortly after dinosaurs and mammals had first evolved, also remains difficult to pin down in terms of precise causes. 23% of families lost.
Fifth major extinction (c. 65 mya): Most famous, perhaps, was the most recent of these events at the end-Cretaceous. It wiped out the remaining terrestrial dinosaurs and marine ammonites, as well as many other species across the phylogenetic spectrum, in all habitats sampled from the fossil record. Consensus has emerged in the past decade that this event was caused by one (possibly multiple) collisions between Earth and an extraterrestrial bolide (probably cometary). Some geologists, however, point to the great volcanic event that produced the Deccan traps of India as part of the chain of physical events that disrupted ecosystems so severely that many species on land and sea rapidly succumbed to extinction. 17% of families lost.
How is The Sixth Extinction different from previous events?
The current mass extinction is caused by humans.
At first glance, the physically caused extinction events of the past might seem to have little or nothing to tell us about the current Sixth Extinction, which is a patently human-caused event. For there is little doubt that humans are the direct cause of ecosystem stress and species destruction in the modern world through such activities as:
-transformation of the landscape
-overexploitation of species
-pollution
-the introduction of alien species
And, because Homo sapiens is clearly a species of animal (however behaviorally and ecologically peculiar an animal), the Sixth Extinction would seem to be the first recorded global extinction event that has a biotic, rather than a physical, cause.
We are bringing about massive changes in the environment.
Yet, upon further reflection, human impact on the planet is a direct analogue of the Cretaceous cometary collision. Sixty-five million years ago that extraterrestrial impact — through its sheer explosive power, followed immediately by its injections of so much debris into the upper reaches of the atmosphere that global temperatures plummeted and, most critically, photosynthesis was severely inhibited — wreaked havoc on the living systems of Earth. That is precisely what human beings are doing to the planet right now: humans are causing vast physical changes on the planet.
What is the Sixth Extinction?
We can divide the Sixth Extinction into two discrete phases:
-Phase One began when the first modern humans began to disperse to different parts of the world about 100,000 years ago.
-Phase Two began about 10,000 years ago when humans turned to agriculture.
Humans began disrupting the environment as soon as they appeared on Earth.
The first phase began shortly after Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and the anatomically modern humans began migrating out of Africa and spreading throughout the world. Humans reached the middle east 90,000 years ago. They were in Europe starting around 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals, who had long lived in Europe, survived our arrival for less than 10,000 years, but then abruptly disappeared — victims, according to many paleoanthropologists, of our arrival through outright warfare or the more subtle, though potentially no less devastating effects, of being on the losing side of ecological competition.
Everywhere, shortly after modern humans arrived, many (especially, though by no means exclusively, the larger) native species typically became extinct. Humans were like bulls in a China shop:
-They disrupted ecosystems by overhunting game species, which never experienced contact with humans before.
-And perhaps they spread microbial disease-causing organisms as well.
The fossil record attests to human destruction of ecosystems:
-Wherever early humans migrated, other species became extinct.
-Humans arrived in large numbers in North America roughly 12,500 years ago-and sites revealing the butchering of mammoths, mastodons and extinct buffalo are well documented throughout the continent. The demise of the bulk of the La Brea tar pit Pleistocene fauna coincided with our arrival.
-The Caribbean lost several of its larger species when humans arrived some 8000 years ago.
-Extinction struck elements of the Australian megafauna much earlier-when humans arrived some 40,000 years ago. Madagascar-something of an anomaly, as humans only arrived there two thousand years ago-also fits the pattern well: the larger species (elephant birds, a species of hippo, plus larger lemurs) rapidly disappeared soon after humans arrived.
Indeed, only in places where earlier hominid species had lived (Africa, of course, but also most of Europe and Asia) did the fauna, already adapted to hominid presence, survive the first wave of the Sixth Extinction pretty much intact. The rest of the world’s species, which had never before encountered hominids in their local ecosystems, were as naively unwary as all but the most recently arrived species (such as Vermilion Flycatchers) of the Galapagos Islands remain to this day.
Why does the Sixth Extinction continue?
The invention of agriculture accelerated the pace of the Sixth Extinction.
Phase two of the Sixth Extinction began around 10,000 years ago with the invention of agriculture-perhaps first in the Natufian culture of the Middle East. Agriculture appears to have been invented several different times in various different places, and has, in the intervening years, spread around the entire globe.
Agriculture represents the single most profound ecological change in the entire 3.5 billion-year history of life. With its invention:
-Humans did not have to interact with other species for survival, and so could manipulate other species for their own use
-Humans did not have to adhere to the ecosystem’s carrying capacity, and so could overpopulate
-Humans do not live with nature but outside it.
Homo sapiens became the first species to stop living inside local ecosystems. All other species, including our ancestral hominid ancestors, all pre-agricultural humans, and remnant hunter-gatherer societies still extant exist as semi-isolated populations playing specific roles (i.e., have “niches”) in local ecosystems. This is not so with post-agricultural revolution humans, who in effect have stepped outside local ecosystems. Indeed, to develop agriculture is essentially to declare war on ecosystems - converting land to produce one or two food crops, with all other native plant species all now classified as unwanted “weeds” — and all but a few domesticated species of animals now considered as pests.
The total number of organisms within a species is limited by many factors-most crucial of which is the “carrying capacity” of the local ecosystem: given the energetic needs and energy-procuring adaptations of a given species, there are only so many squirrels, oak trees and hawks that can inhabit a given stretch of habitat. Agriculture had the effect of removing the natural local-ecosystem upper limit of the size of human populations. Though crops still fail regularly, and famine and disease still stalk the land, there is no doubt that agriculture in the main has had an enormous impact on human population size:
-Earth can’t sustain the trend in human population growth. It is reaching its limit in carrying capacity.
-Estimates vary, but range between 1 and 10 million people on earth 10,000 years ago.
-There are now over 6 billion people.
-The numbers continue to increase logarithmically — so that there will be 8 billion by 2020.
-There is presumably an upper limit to the carrying capacity of humans on earth — of the numbers that agriculture can support — and that number is usually estimated at between 13-15 billion, though some people think the ultimate numbers might be much higher.
This explosion of human population, especially in the post-Industrial Revolution years of the past two centuries, coupled with the unequal distribution and consumption of wealth on the planet, is the underlying cause of the Sixth Extinction. There is a vicious cycle:
-Overpopulation, invasive species, and overexploitation are fueling the extinction.
-More lands are cleared and more efficient production techniques (most recently engendered largely through genetic engineering) to feed the growing number of humans — and in response, the human population continues to expand.
-Higher fossil energy use is helping agriculture spread, further modifying the environment.
-Humans continue to fish (12 of the 13 major fisheries on the planet are now considered severely depleted) and harvest timber for building materials and just plain fuel, pollution, and soil erosion from agriculture creates dead zones in fisheries (as in the Gulf of Mexico)
-While the human Diaspora has meant the spread, as well, of alien species that more often than not thrive at the detriment of native species. For example, invasive species have contributed to 42% of all threatened and endangered species in the U.S.
Can conservation measures stop the Sixth Extinction?
Only 10% of the world’s species survived the third mass extinction. Will any survive this one?
The world’s ecosystems have been plunged into chaos, with some conservation biologists thinking that no system, not even the vast oceans, remains untouched by human presence. Conservation measures, sustainable development, and, ultimately, stabilization of human population numbers and consumption patterns seem to offer some hope that the Sixth Extinction will not develop to the extent of the third global extinction, some 245 mya, when 90% of the world’s species were lost.
Though it is true that life, so incredibly resilient, has always recovered (though after long lags) after major extinction spasms, it is only after whatever has caused the extinction event has dissipated. That cause, in the case of the Sixth Extinction, is ourselves — Homo sapiens. This means we can continue on the path to our own extinction, or, preferably, we modify our behavior toward the global ecosystem of which we are still very much a part. The latter must happen before the Sixth Extinction can be declared over, and life can once again rebound.

BioScience Article
“Global Conservation of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services.”
Habitat destruction has driven much of the current biodiversity extinction crisis, and it compromises the essential benefits, or ecosystem services that humans derive from functioning ecosystems. Securing both species and ecosystem services might be accomplished with common solutions. Yet it is unknown whether these two major conservation objectives coincide broadly enough worldwide to enable global strategies for both goals to gain synergy. In this November 2007, BioScience article, Will Turner and his colleagues assess the concordance between these two objectives, explore how the concordance varies across different regions, and examine the global potential for safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem services simultaneously.

Excerpt from www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/community/art_archi_wanchai.html:
Art in station architecture
Artwork Title:
This is Wan Chai
Artist Name:
Jevan Chowdhury
Location:
Wan Chai Station
Artwork Completion Date:
March 2020
Concept:
“This is Wan Chai” is an observation of the theatrical stage that everyday life presents, as seen through the lens of magical realism. Images of Wan Chai’s iconic heritage are enriched by the performances of over 40 principal, soloist, coryphée and corps de ballet dancers from the Hong Kong Ballet as well as members of the public. Spanning a length of approximately 150 metres, the artwork reimagines and reinvents the station as a public space at the heart of the local community. In this way, the station is transformed into a living stage of choreographed street scenes that commuters play their part in as they pass through.
“This is Wan Chai” is part of the “Moving Cities” series. Commissioned by MTR Corporation and jointly initiated with Hong Kong Design Centre, it was made in collaboration with Hong Kong Ballet, Treacle Media, UK’s Department for International Trade and Conran + Partners. Moving Cities is part of an on-going global inventory of film and photographic work in which world cities are transcribed through dance.
Evangelio de hoy: Estudio bíblico de las 10 virgenes
Versículo de la Biblia sobre Evangelio de Hoy
"Entonces el reino de los cielos será semejante a diez vírgenes que tomando sus lámparas, salieron a recibir al novio. […] pero las prudentes tomaron aceite en frascos junto con sus lámparas".
(Mateo 25:1, 4)
¿Qué son realmente las vírgenes prudentes?
Versículos bíblicos como referencia
"Entonces el reino de los cielos será semejante a diez vírgenes que tomando sus lámparas, salieron a recibir al novio. […] pero las prudentes tomaron aceite en frascos junto con sus lámparas. Pero a medianoche se oyó un clamor: '¡Aquí está el novio! Salid a recibirlo.' Entonces todas aquellas vírgenes se levantaron y arreglaron sus lámparas. […] Y mientras ellas iban a comprar, vino el novio, y las que estaban preparadas entraron con él al banquete de bodas, y se cerró la puerta" (Mateo 25:1, 4, 6-7, 10).
"Mis ovejas oyen mi voz, y yo las conozco y me siguen;"(Juan 10:27).
“Estos son los que siguen al Cordero adondequiera que va” (Apocalipsis 14:4).
"pues el Cordero en medio del trono los pastoreará y los guiará a manantiales de aguas de vida, y Dios enjugará toda lágrima de sus ojos” (Apocalipsis 7:17).
"Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; llamad, y se os abrirá" (Mateo 7:7).
Palabras clásicas de Dios:
“Cinco vírgenes prudentes quiere decir el número de personas […] Esta es la razón por la que se les ha pedido que preparen aceite en los últimos días. (La creación no posee Mi calidad; si quieren ser sabias, entonces necesitan preparar aceite y, por lo tanto, necesitan estar equipadas con Mis palabras.) Las cinco vírgenes prudentes representan a Mis hijos y a Mi pueblo entre los humanos que creé. Se les llama[a] ‘vírgenes’ porque a pesar de que nacieron en la tierra, aun así, son ganadas por Mí; se puede decir que se han vuelto santas, por lo que se les llama ‘vírgenes’”.
de “Declaraciones y testimonios de Cristo en el principio”
“En la actualidad, todos los que siguen las palabras actuales de Dios están en la corriente del Espíritu Santo […] ‘Seguir la obra del Espíritu Santo’ quiere decir entender la voluntad de Dios hoy, poder actuar de acuerdo con los requisitos actuales de Dios, poder obedecer y seguir al Dios de hoy, y entrar de acuerdo con las nuevas declaraciones de Dios. Sólo alguien así sigue la obra del Espíritu Santo y está en la corriente del Espíritu Santo. Tales personas no sólo pueden recibir la alabanza de Dios y pueden ver a Dios, sino que también pueden conocer el carácter de Dios en Su última obra y, por Su última obra, pueden conocer las concepciones del hombre y su desobediencia y la naturaleza y esencia del hombre; además, pueden poco a poco lograr cambios en su carácter durante su servicio. Sólo personas como estas son las que pueden ganar a Dios y las que genuinamente han encontrado el camino verdadero. […]
Todos los que pueden obedecer las declaraciones actuales del Espíritu Santo son benditos. No importa cómo solían ser o cómo el Espíritu Santo solía obrar en ellos, los que han obtenido la última obra son los más bendecidos y los que no pueden seguir la última obra hoy son eliminados. Dios quiere a los que son capaces de aceptar la nueva luz y Él quiere a los que aceptan y conocen Su última obra. ¿Por qué se dice que debéis ser una virgen casta? Una virgen casta puede buscar la obra del Espíritu Santo y entender las cosas nuevas y, además, puede desechar las antiguas concepciones y obedecer la obra de Dios hoy. Este grupo de personas que aceptan la nueva obra de la actualidad, Dios las predestinó antes de todos los siglos y son las más benditas de las personas. Vosotros oís la voz de Dios directamente y contempláis la aparición de Dios y así, en todo el cielo y la tierra y a lo largo de las eras, nadie ha sido más bendecido que vosotros, este grupo de personas”.
de “Conoce la nueva obra de Dios y sigue las pisadas de Dios”
“Ya que el hombre cree en Dios, debe seguir muy de cerca las pisadas de Dios, paso a paso, debe ‘seguir al Cordero donde quiera que vaya’. Sólo estas son las personas que buscan el camino verdadero, sólo ellas son las que conocen la obra del Espíritu Santo. Las personas que de un modo servil siguen las cartas y las doctrinas son las que la obra del Espíritu Santo ha eliminado. En cada periodo de tiempo, Dios comenzará una nueva obra, y en cada periodo habrá un nuevo comienzo entre los hombres. Si el hombre sólo acata las verdades de que ‘Jehová es Dios’ y ‘Jesús es Cristo’, que son verdades que sólo se aplican a una era, entonces el hombre nunca mantendrá el paso con la obra del Espíritu Santo y nunca podrá obtener la obra del Espíritu Santo. Independientemente de qué haga Dios, el hombre lo sigue sin la más mínima duda, y lo sigue de cerca. De esta manera, ¿cómo puede el hombre ser eliminado por el Espíritu Santo? Independientemente de lo que haga Dios, en tanto que el hombre esté seguro que es la obra del Espíritu Santo, y coopere con la obra del Espíritu Santo sin recelo, y trate de cumplir con las exigencias de Dios, entonces, ¿cómo podría ser castigado? La obra de Dios nunca ha cesado, Sus pisadas nunca se han detenido, y antes del término de Su obra de gestión, siempre ha estado ocupado y nunca para”.
de “La obra de Dios y la práctica del hombre”
“Dios busca a aquellos que anhelan que Él aparezca. Busca a aquellos que son capaces de oír Sus palabras, los que no han olvidado Su comisión y le ofrecen su corazón y su cuerpo. Él busca a aquellos que son tan obedientes como bebés delante de Él, y no se resisten a Él. Si ninguna fuerza te obstaculiza en tu devoción a Dios, Él te mirará con favor, y te concederá Sus bendiciones. Si tienes una posición alta, una reputación honorable, posees un conocimiento abundante, tienes muchas propiedades, y muchas personas te apoyan, pero estas cosas no evitan que vengas delante de Dios para aceptar Su llamamiento y Su comisión, que hagas lo que Él pide de ti, entonces todo lo que haces será lo más significativo sobre la tierra y lo más justo de la humanidad”.
de “Dios preside el destino de toda la humanidad”

Es el reflejo de la adaptación del hombre al medio que le rodea y en el que habita. Las casas estan hechas con barro, normalmente con adobe, que es un ladrillo grueso de barro con mezcla de paja y grijo menudillo secado al sol, utilizado como material único.
Las paredes exteriores se revocaban con un paño y se les añadía paja trillada para que diera un aspecto liso.Todas tenían planta rectangular, las fachadas son lisas con ventanas, puertas y el portón con salida al corral o al portal. En el corral suele haber huertos donde cultivaban las verduras y hortalizas que utilizaban para su propio consumo, un gallinero, conejeras, un horno, cobertizos…

After launching my new time lapse video "Into The Night".
Finally get into processing some of those time lapse into startrails photography. This one taken from Zion National Park on a moonlit night back in April, 2014.
The final sequence consists of over 600 frames. I took out 200+ frames with clear sky, cloned out all the airplane in the sequence then process them into startrails. Bring it back into Photoshop and did all the final adjustments. Hope you like it!
Thanks for viewing!!

/*bm------ End Plurk Creature Removal ------bm*/
by Albert Bouchard, Eric Bloom, Sandy Pearlman and Donald Roeser
©1974 B. O'Cult Songs, Inc.
Well I’ve opened up my veins too many times
And the poisons in my heart and in my mind
Poisons in my bloodstream
Poisons in my pride
I’m after rebellion
I’ll settle for lies
Is it any wonder that my mind’s on fire
Imprisoned by the thought of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke’s an iron
And the joke’s on you
Experiments that failed too many times
Transformations that were too hard to find
Poisons in my bloodstream
Poisons in my pride
I’m after rebellion
I’ll settle for lies
Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind
They’re trinity acts, a mineral fire
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind
It’s a flaming wonder telepath
Well I’ve opened up my veins too many times
And the poisons in my heart and in my mind
Poisons in my bloodstream
Poisons in my pride
I’m after rebellion
I’ll settle for lies
Is it any wonder that my mind’s on fire
Imprisoned by the thought of what to do
Is it any wonder that my joke’s an iron
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke’s on you
And the joke
