Festa dei lavoratori
Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.
La Festa dei lavoratori è una festività celebrata il 1º maggio di ogni anno che intende ricordare l'impegno del movimento sindacale ed i traguardi raggiunti in campo economico e sociale dai lavoratori. La festa del lavoro è riconosciuta in molte nazioni del mondo ma non in tutte.
Origini internazionali
Più precisamente, con essa si intende ricordare le battaglie operaie volte alla conquista di un diritto ben preciso: l'orario di lavoro quotidiano fissato in otto ore. Tali battaglie portarono alla promulgazione di una legge che fu approvata nel 1866 nell'Illinois (USA)[senza fonte]. La Prima Internazionale richiese poi che legislazioni simili fossero approvate anche in Europa.
L'origine della festa risale ad una manifestazione organizzata negli Stati Uniti dai Cavalieri del lavoro (Knights of Labor, associazione fondata nel 1869) a New York il 5 settembre 1882. Due anni dopo, nel 1884, in un'analoga manifestazione i Cavalieri del lavoro approvarono una risoluzione affinché l'evento avesse una cadenza annuale. Altre organizzazioni sindacali affiliate all' Internazionale dei lavoratori - vicine ai movimenti socialisti ed anarchici - suggerirono come data della festività il primo maggio.
Ma a far cadere definitivamente la scelta su questa data furono i gravi incidenti accaduti nei primi giorni di maggio del 1886 a Chicago (USA) e conosciuti come rivolta di Haymarket. Questi fatti ebbero il loro culmine il 4 maggio quando la polizia sparò sui manifestanti provocando numerose vittime.
L'allora presidente Grover Cleveland ritenne che la festa del primo maggio avrebbe potuto costituire un'opportunità per commemorare questo episodio. Successivamente, temendo che la commemorazione potesse risultare troppo a favore del nascente socialismo, stornò l'oggetto della festività sull'antica organizzazione dei Cavalieri del lavoro.
La data del primo maggio fu adottata in Canada nel 1894 sebbene il concetto di festa del lavoro sia in questo caso riferito a precedenti marce di lavoratori tenute a Toronto e Ottawa nel 1872.
In Europa la festività del primo maggio fu ufficializzata dai delegati socialisti della Seconda Internazionale riuniti a Parigi nel 1889 e ratificata in Italia due anni dopo.
La Festa dei Lavoratori in Italia
Concerto del primo maggio a Roma nel 2007. I presenti erano circa 700.000
In Italia la festività fu soppressa durante il ventennio fascista - che preferì festeggiare una autarchica Festa del lavoro italiano il 21 aprile in coincidenza con il Natale di Roma - ma fu ripristinata subito dopo la fine del conflitto mondiale, nel 1945.
Nel 1947 la ricorrenza venne funestata a Portella della Ginestra (PA) quando la banda di Salvatore Giuliano sparò su un corteo di circa duemila lavoratori in festa, uccidendone undici e ferendone una cinquantina.
I sindacati italiani CGIL, CISL e UIL organizzano annualmente a Roma un concerto per celebrare il primo maggio dall'anno 1991 (vedi Concerto del Primo Maggio a Roma a cui partecipano annualmente centinaia di migliaia di persone).
I've always been conflicted as to my feelings about Chinatowns, the hybrid nature of the environment throws me off in terms of how I want to capture it. Visually the space is very much like what I shoot when I'm back home in Hong Kong, it is dense, bright and textured. Yet the nature of the environment acts very much like the western city it is in, isolated, detached and common. It is exactly what it is, a recreation of one's natural habitat in a foreign land, a cultural theme park within a few city blocks.
Like a theme park, I find the familiar endearing and the differences absolutely annoying. Unable to accept the space for what it is, I complain about the things they aren't doing 'right', how it's done better back home, how this is just a mask of signs and lights thrown on to create an illusion of familiarity. I feel like a parent projecting their failures on to their children, how this space disappoints me as it doesn't live up to the standards I wish it can achieve.
When in fact, it is the fusion of the familiar with the odd that reminds me of the confused nature of my own identity. The ever difficult balancing act of assimilation into the culture of my adopted hometown, while desperately trying to hold onto whatever is left of my own. A visit to Chinatown reminds me of how futile my attempts are to remain Chinese while becoming American.
As I'm about to leave New York for another city, I've decided to confront this space, to stop trying to make it something it's not. To finally see it for what it is before trying to figure out another one. And in the process of understanding this hybrid space, maybe it'll allow myself to accept the fact that I've become what musically would be equivalent to a Canto Pop/Hip hop mashup. A set of opposing beats jammed together to form something that's confusing and fucked up, but has the potential to be quite interesting with some finessing.

Early August 2023...
Storms were predicted & delivered right after midnight. Severe Warned for high winds & hail... This was a sculptured outflow dominate storm. I learned a long time ago doing night storm photography that you have some extra light to make this happen. Not the light from the storm but I use the city lights to help paint the sky.
Sitting now on the so called edge of the city (always expanding). One the few last places I can get good clear view of the sky to the west without power-lines... Probably the last year I can take snaps from this location since there is construction going on all around.
I forgot one of my nice 4k cams with extra sensitivity for night... Figures I had everything ready but forgot to load the battery. Cam in hand I went to town with this set of images with this most impressive ominous overnight shelf cloud. This was an Night Time Eye Candy Storm. What a beauty!

Excerpt from victoriaheritagefoundation.ca/HReg/NorthPark/Quadra1611.html:
ARCHITECTURE:
This brick and stone church is a fine example of the Gothic Revival. Its picturesque asymmetry, steep copper spire, and window surrounds are details reminiscent of British architects of the Victorian era. It has a steeply pitched, cross-gabled roof with parapeted gables; paired buttresses topped with tiers of stepped stone lead up to the front parapeted gable which sits high off the roofline. A small, five-sided bay with a conical roof is centrally located on the main gable below its windows. The eye is drawn to the slim, octagonal spire by tiers of paired, stepped, brick and stone buttresses on the square bell tower. The tower has two rows of large dentils above the
vents for the bells. There are a multitude of Perpendicular Gothic arched windows with stone, quoined casings around the building. The southwest entrance has a steeply gabled roof; the north and south aisles have deep, shallower-pitched, shed roofs.
In December 1960 a fire gutted the church, but firefighters saved the main walls and the tower, and it was rebuilt by 1964. Many windows were destroyed in the fire, and some are now obscured by reinforced glass. Alan Hodgson designed an office and reception room between the church and rectory in 1982.
ORIGINAL OCCUPANTS:
The first church of St. John the Divine was built in 1860 on land donated by the Hudson’s Bay Company; that site is now occupied by the “old” HBC department store. The church was a gift of Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts of the Coutts banking family in London, England. She arranged for prefabricated sections in corrugated iron to be shipped out and these became the “Iron church,” the first Anglican church to be consecrated in the colony of Vancouver Island. This church stood for 53 years but was outgrown by 1912. Happily for the parish, the Hudson’s Bay Company bought back the site for $140,000 and this financed the building of a new church, for $170,000, just a little to the east.
The cornerstone of the new church was laid in May of 1912. The last service in the old Iron Church was on 12 December 1912, followed by a solemn procession to the new church, with everyone carrying something - vestments, plate, linen, hymn books, etc.
A splendid new organ was installed and St. John the Divine soon gained a reputation for the high quality of its music - a tradition that endures to the present. Prominent parishioners in the early years were the Finlaysons, the Tolmies and the Kers.
The parish had just celebrated its centenary in December 1960 when disaster struck. An electrical fault caused a fire that destroyed almost everything except the exterior stone and brickwork. Gone were the organ, the stained glass windows and the pulpit in a conflagration so intense that it warped the steeple, giving it a lean to the east to this day. The damage was estimated at $700,000. Among the few things saved were the font and the bell, both from the old church, and two tapestry altar frontals from Westminster Abbey in London, England, given by the Ker family. Restoration included a new 3,300-pipe Casavant organ that cost $60,000 and was, at the time, the largest in the province. New stained glass windows were endowed by the Ker family, parishioners for three generations.
It took until 1981 for full restoration to be completed and a final touch was the Peace Reredos, a wooden backdrop to the altar. This replaced an original reredos which was a World War I memorial. More recently, in 2005, a new stained glass window was installed in the chapel on the south side of the church. The design is a contemporary rendering of the Crucifixion and the artist, Lutz Haufschild, won an international competition for the project.
It's truly breaks my heart to see such a beautiful and unique brand go in SL. Lalu is on her final week of the closing sale for the brand GATO. The personality in clothing form will be missed by so many including me. I hope that one day she would be willing to reopen in the future. Until then, I wish Lalu nothing but love and gratitude for creativity fashion.

Ο Γου Σόνγκουανκ κηρύττει το
Ευαγγέλιο με την Εκκλησία του Παντοδύναμου Θεού και, την ώρα που προσπαθεί να διαφύγει τη σύλληψη από την Κινεζική Αστυνομία, τον σώζει ο Τζανγκ Σουν, ένας συνεργάτης σε μια τοπική κατ’ οίκον εκκλησία. Έπειτα από αυτό, συναναστρέφεται αρκετές φορές με τον Τζανγκ Σουν και άλλους, πάνω στο τι σημαίνει πίστη στον Θεό, τον τρόπο να πιστεύει κανείς προκειμένου να αποκτήσει την επιδοκιμασία του Θεού, και άλλες πτυχές της αλήθειας. Στο τέλος, οι αλήθειες αυτές επιλύουν την μακροχρόνια σύγχυση και τις δυσκολίες του Τζανγκ Σουν και των άλλων, επιτρέποντάς τους να κατανοήσουν το πραγματικό νόημα της «πίστης στον Θεό» και ελευθερώνοντας τις καρδιές τους.

Excerpt from www.visitourchina.com/macao/attraction/lou-lim-ieoc-garde...:
Chinese name: 盧廉若公園
Location: Estrada de Adolfo Loureiro, in northern Macau Peninsular, Macau.
Located in the middle of Macau Peninsular at the northern foot of Guia Hill, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden (in Portuguese: Jardim Lou Lim Ieoc) covers an area of 1.78 hectares with scenic landscapes. This elegant garden was modeled after Suzhou Lion Grove Garden, one of the four most famous classic gardens in Suzhou, being the only one with Suzhou classical garden style in Macau. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was once named "Entertainment Garden" and hailed as one of three famous gardens of Macau many years ago. And in 1992, it was rated as one of Macau’s eights sights. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden is a great place for sightseeing as it has quaint moon gate, shady walkways, grotesque rocks of man-made hills, bamboo groves, towering banyan tress, winding corridors, elegant pavilions, spattering waterfalls, ponds with green lotus, etc. The waterside pavilion is the centerpiece of Lou Lim leoc Garden. Despite it is a traditional Chinese architecture, some western architectural elements are embedded in, such as the external wall painted in light yellow, the favorite color of Portuguese, gothic porticoes, white European-style carvings at the top of porticoes. The barrier close to the pond is painted red, China’s favorite color. This building reflects the fusion of oriental and western cultures.
It was initially a vegetable plot and was purchased by a Macau Turpan, whose son Lou Lim leoc spent a large sum of money to convert it into a private garden. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was the largest private garden in Macau. The construction started 1904 and took 21 years to finish. The garden was changed hand due to the Lu family’s bankruptcy, until it was purchased by Macau government in 1970s. After renovation it was opened to the public in 1974. At the turn of 21st century, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was famed as the show place of Cantonese opera. Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of Chinese democratic revolution, once stayed in this garden to meet celebrities of China, Macau and Portugal, and revolutionists.

Well its be close to a month since I've actually been out chasing. July 2019 in South Central Nebraska has been hot and dry... for the most part. Another reason for my absence is my trusty storm chasing truck is on her last leg. I've had transmission problems and the wheel bearings are going out on 2 of the tires. Its 20 years old and she has taken good care of me and my storm chasing adventures over the past. I'm going to have to retire her instead of putting more money into the till for her to get fixed. I have new truck being custom built for storm chasing in 2020. She has been ordered and will be picking it up in September.
Oh yeah... we have had severe storms in the State of Nebraska, both West and East throughout the month of July. By the time they would even get to our location in the South Central Region of the state....they were just rain showers. More flooding rains to the east a about a week ago 3rd time for some of the folks in the state. I'm sure the farmers are not to happy and are waiting for harvest to start.
So with that being said...I did get out just once in July. On a night that the storms were perking and it was late. Extremely tired but you all know when it comes to lightning, I don't miss a beat! Opportunities are rare this time of year and I really never miss a storm. Especially if it is close! I couldn't resist!

Watch the Storm Chasing Video from that day's Chase on Flickr Click Here
No tornadoes on this day's chase, but some incredible supercell structure out on the plains of Nebraska.
We started the day with a supercell that had several meso structures being reported from radar. This storm was tracking slowly about 12 knots cresting from the northwest to southeast. Classic June storm structure for this time of year in Nebraska. Northwest of North Platte Nebraska it had reported wall cloud and we definitely wanted a piece of this action.
We arrived as it was gaining strength as it has pushed through Maxwell Nebraska. We stopped in Brady, just to the southeast via I-80 corridor to get the bugs off of the windshield and as the storm was gaining strength. We had stopped just a few miles to the south of Brady we set up shop to catch this storm. Nice clear beautiful structure accompanied the underbelly of this supercell. Though we had a clear cut defined wall cloud this storm never did show us her tornadic teeth.
After about an hour on this storm in the same position (rare for us to do this) we eventually had to back off and get back to the east. We had to get south of Gothenburg just a few miles off the I-80 exit area for the next structured shot of this supercell. Oh we got just what we were looking for! Phenomenal base rotation!
Eventually we had backed off again as the hail core was approaching. Plus this cell was loosing its steam. We moved back to the I-80 corridor then south of Cozad Nebraska and this cell was in redevelopment mode and we had some waiting to do. Though not a long wait as this original cell fizzled out but we had one more chance for good structure south of Overten Nebraska. We headed to Loomis Nebraska for another treat to end the day. Oh did I say treat? We got a whole bunch more eye candy than expected.
Just to the east of Loomis Nebraska we encountered some incredible supercell structure. This storm wasn't going to be shy, and she eventually showed us some teeth.
Personal Note: For some odd reason I didn't clear my memory card on my last chase, and I ran out of room on my SD Card. I had to stop shooting after the wall cloud was right over my location my Loomis Nebraska. I didn't have time to pull out my spare card and load it due to the strength and this fast moving cell. This storm cell became outflow dominate and man do I mean dominate. We got caught in the outflow boundary several times with tons of gustnadoes and almost haboobish. I did have my trusty camera with me... I was in the drivers seat so when we had a chance, I did capture some incredible pics that blew me away literally.
All in all. I'm not always about catching the tornado. I had some good friends and fellow storm chasers along side that day. In my opinion... just another EPIC chase day in Nebraska!!! Woot Woot. More to come!
