swastika audi logo emblem symbologist olympic rings symbol by Edward Bellamy

1 2

The Volkswagen logo is alphabetical symbolism of the meshed letters "V" and "W" that exposes the swastika as intertwined "S" shapes symbolizing "Socialism" for the monstrous National Socialist German Workers' Party. It is more proof in support of discoveries by the noted historian and symbologist Dr. Rex Curry. rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a.html

Audi also supports Dr. Curry's discoveries. rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a1.html

Trabant also provides support for the discoveries. rexcurry.net/trabant-sachsenring-rex-curry.html

Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH provides additional evidence.

rexcurry.net/maybach-car-pictures.html

Organisation Todt under Dr. Ing. Fritz Todt also lends support. rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2b.html

The Krit Motor Car Company of Detroit supports Dr. Curry's discoveries. It was an American car that bore a swastika long before it was associated with German cars and the Volkswagen VW. rexcurry.net/krit_motor_car_company_detroit.html

Many people forget that the word "Nazi" is a syncopation for "National Socialist German Workers Party." The group's actual full name indicates Nazism's clear affinities with collectivism.

Germany in the 1930's often used symbols for letters and words. Common symbols under the National Socialist German Workers' Party often used the "S" shape, including the side-by-side use in the "SS" Division and the overlapping use in the Hakenkreuz - swastika. The German word for "swastika" is "Hakenkreuz" ("hooked cross" or "armed cross").

Hitler was aware of the practice, and perhaps the source of the practice, in that he evolved "Adolf Hitler" into "S Hitler" in his own signature. rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a4.html

It was a manner of declaring his socialism every time he signed his name and it was equivalent to signing "Socialist Hitler."

It is part of growing evidence that supports the discovery by Dr. Rex Curry (in the book "Swastika Secrets") that the Hakenkreuz, although an ancient symbol, was used also to represent "S" shapes for "Socialism" and its victory under the horrid National Socialists.

Audi symbol related to Olympic rings via Nazism (National SocialistGerman Workers Party)

rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a1.html

The symbol of the Olympic Games is five interlocking rings and similar to the Audi symbol. It influenced the Audi symbol and is related to

other symbolism under the National Socialist German Workers Party.

rexcurry.net/bookchapter4a1a2a1.html

They Olympic ring symbol was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games.

In his article published in the "Olympic Revue" the official magazine of the International Olympic Committee in November 1992, the American

historian Robert Barney explains that the idea of the interlaced rings came to Pierre de Coubertin when he was in charge of the USFSA, an

association founded by the union of two French sports associations and until 1925, responsible for representing the International Olympic Committee in France: The emblem of the union was two interlaced rings (like the vesica piscis typical interlaced marriage rings) and originally the idea of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung because for him

the ring meant continuity and the human being.

According to De Coubertin the different ring colors with the white background stand for those colors that appeared on all the national flags of the world at that time.

The 1914 Congress had to be suspended due to the outbreak of World War I, but the symbol (and flag) were later adopted. They would first

officially debut at the VIIth Olympiad in Antwerp, Belgium in 1920.

The symbol's popularity and wide use began during the lead-up to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin under the National Socialist German

Workers Party. The rings would subsequently be featured prominently in German National Socialist (Nazi) images in 1936 as part of an effort

to glorify the union of socialists and socialist groups under Adolf Hitler, and is related to the joined rings for Audi cars and to the use of the swastika which, although an ancient symbol, was used to reperesent joined S-letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist German Workers Party, as shown by the symbologist Dr. Rex

Curry (author of "Swastika Secrets"). rexcurry.net/swastika-audi-logo.JPG

The Olympic ring symbol was used to promote Leni Riefenstahl's Olympic work, including the movie "Olympia." rexcurry.net/olympic-rings-symbol-audi.jpg

The official Olympic salute originated in the USA's Pledge of Allegiance, which used a stiff-armed salute, and was also the origin the Nazi salute and Nazi behavior adopted later under German National Socialism.

rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance2.jpg

Francis Bellamy (author of the Pledge) was cousin and cohort of Edward Bellamy and they were both national socialists in the United States

long before their dogma spread to Germany and worldwide. The Bellamys and socialist schools in the United States influenced German National

Socialism, its dogma, symbols and rituals.

rexcurry.net/bookchapter1a1c.html

The National Socialist German Workers' Party began in 1920, and achieved electoral breakthroughs in 1930, and dictatorship in 1933.

In 1932, Audi, Horch, Wanderer and DKW combined to form the Auto Union (AU). They adopted four rings as their logo, one for each of the founder companies. The marques were originally all based in Saxony – Audi and Horch in Zwickau, Wanderer in Chemnitz-Siegmar and DKW in Zschopau.

Adolf Hitler was aided by German unions of auto workers (compare that with how American auto workers in their unions have aided national socialist policies in the USA, including those of Barack Obama, and the unions were repaid with General Motors -Government Motors- and as the Europeans chewed up the GM European division). The Audi rings were joined in a union to glorify the union of socialists in Germany under Hitler.

During German National Socialism, the race track in Saxony developed its stylized "S" letter for "Sachsenring" that imitates the swastika's "S" for "socialism." It led to similar swastika-style symbolism that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics used for its Sachsenring Trabant logo. rexcurry.net/trabant-sachsenring-rex-curry.html

Together the four Audi companies could cover the whole motor-vehicle market from motorbikes to luxury cars. Audi concentrated on the sports side, Horch on producing luxury vehicles, Wanderer (whose auto division had been bought in a hostile take over) on small to medium cars, and DKW on small cars. DKW was the main brand, producing around 80% of the conglomerate's cars, and only narrowly being beaten by VW (Volkswagen) to producing Hitler's 'people's car'. The acronym "DKW" originated from "Dampf Kraft Wagen" (steam-driven wagon).

This 4-circle badge was used, originally, only on Auto Union racing cars in that period while the member companies used their own names and emblems. Often, the 4 circles contain the original symbols of Audi, Horch, Wanderer, and DKW. Wanderer used a wide winged "W" letter; Horch used a large "H" letter; DKW used the letters "DKW"; Audi used an inverted triangle and the number "1."

The leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party had determined to make German automobiles into world leaders, in order to promote his socialism. Hitler regarded racing as an integral part of this, and consequently 500,000 Reichmarks in government subsidies were pledged to make Mercedes the leading race team in the world - Hitler was a fan of Mercedes. AU sent a senior delegation to Hitler and persuaded him that having two competing racing programs would be better than one. He agreed to split the government money between Mercedes and AU. Although AU earned themselves the enmity of Mercedes, an enemy they could never hope to match in terms of size, they also won themselves an opportunity to make their name in the racing world.

Ferdinand Porsche had already done some work for Wanderer, before setting up his own consultancy in the wake of the Government-created depression and crash of 1929. Porsche had a car design, but no customers for it. AU signed him up.

Audi still uses the German tag line "Vorsprung durch Technik." The tag line is used either in original or in its English translation "Advantage through Technology." It is an odd reminder of socialist clichés from the 1930's such as "Kraft durch Freude" ("Strength through Joy" and "Kdf"); Schönheit der Arbeit ("Beauty of Labor"); "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work brings Freedom"). The "Strength through Joy" program was part of a scheme to provide holidays to workers at inexpensive rates, and was related to the "Beauty of Labor" office. When the early VW versions were introduced, Hitler abruptly changed the name of the car to KdF Wagen. The word "Volkswagen" itself meant "people's car" (cf. "folk's wagon"). Near the end of World War II many men, both young and old, were called upon to serve in the "People's Army " (Volksturm).

6 Frases para decir TE AMO

Si te llamo de madrugada no es que padezca de insomnio, es que padezco del síndrome “sin ti no puedo dormir”.

Si tú decides estar conmigo, y cultivar este amor junto a mí, yo cuidaré de ti, tú cuidarás de mí, y Dios cuidará de nosotros.

El hecho de coincidir contigo en esta vida es algo por lo que viviré agradecido siempre.

Me gusta observarte mientras hablas, mientras lees, mientras comes, cuando duermes. Me gusta verte y preguntarme: “¿por qué tuve tanta suerte?”.

Te escogí a ti porque me di cuenta de que valías la pena, valías los riesgos, valías la vida.

Tuve la certeza de que el amor era esto, cuando empecé a contar las horas para verte.

La distancia impide un beso o un abrazo, pero jamás impide un sentimiento

La distancia no es límite para el amor

Cuando el amor es verdadero no hay nada ni nadie que impida que ese amor siga creciendo. El amor a distancia no es un límite, es sobre todo, una prueba de resistencia. Saber que esa persona está en otra parte, ya sea de la región, del país o del mundo, y que espera verte con la misma intensidad que tú, eso es amor del bueno. Tal y como dice una de nuestras imágenes chidas con frases de amor favorita: la distancia podrá impedirlo todo, menos un sentimiento.

Esa persona lo valorará y guardará ese recuerdo en su mente y corazón por siempre

Por qué será que el amor prohibido es más intenso que el permitido

7 Frases chidas de amor para seducir

Estoy en la edad perfecta para quedarme con la culpa, no con las ganas.

Tu piel y mi boca tienen una cita, unas caricias y una vida pendiente.

Si supieras lo que quiero hacer contigo, seguramente el color de tus mejillas sufriría un leve enrojecimiento que no podrías disimular.

Hay espacios de mí que son tuyos, y tus manos lo saben.

Quiero darte un beso, de esos con los que sientes que la ropa te estorba.

Muero por ese beso tuyo que nos despierta las ganas y nos quita la ropa.

Deja de perder el tiempo con alguien que te deja en visto y ven conmigo ¡Que yo te desvisto!

No puedo dejar de quererte

Mi corazón te amará por siempre

Hay amores que se meten en tu corazón para vivir en ese lugar por siempre. Incluso, hay veces en las que el tiempo, la vida y las diferentes situaciones que cada quien atraviesa, influyen para que una relación no pueda darse.

Pero existe algo mucho más fuerte. Cuando dos personas son el uno para el otro no hay muralla que los separe. Estas imágenes chidas de amor hablan precisamente de eso y de cómo es que, a pesar de todos los obstáculos, el amor siempre sale vencedor.

Nunca te dejaré, porque eres el amor de mi vida y siempre lo serás

Cuando uno encuentra la persona ideal, la persona que uno quiere para su vida, está dispuesto a luchar a toda costa por estar a su lado. Existen diferentes situaciones que se pueden dar, incluso, puede llegar a pasar que la persona que amas ya tiene una relación. El verdadero amor está dispuesto a darlo todo.

Si tú te encuentras en una situación similar, recuerda que debes luchar con todas tus fuerzas, y si aquella persona de la que estás enamorado responde positivamente, no hay más vuelta que darle. Es la persona indicada. Pero si por el contrario, no está dispuesta a estar sólo contigo, pues es momento de buscar tu propio camino, a pesar de que nunca la dejarás de querer.

No es quien te besa bajo la lluvia, es quien te abraza durante la tormenta

Deseo escribir poemas sobre tu piel con mis labios.

Déjame darte un beso, de esos que no se olvidan, ni en otros labios, ni en otras noches, ni en otras vidas.

A mí no me mandes besos, a mí vienes y me los das.

Algún día te explicaré a besos por qué me tiembla el alma cuando tú me miras.

Lo mío fue un acto de justicia: te robé un beso porque tú llevabas meses robándome el sueño.

Si no era amor, era vicio. Porque jamás una boca me hizo regresar tantas veces por un beso.

Tengo tantas ganas de besarte que cada vez que te ven, mis labios sonríen.

Bésame con el atrevimiento de no saber si es lo correcto.

Star Trek: Screen Capture 3 by Morbius19

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Paramount, 1979).

putlocker.bz/watch-star-trek-the-motion-picture-online-fr... Full Feature

Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Majel Barrett, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Persis Khambatta, Stephen Collins, Grace Lee Whitney, Mark Lenard. Directed by Robert Wise.

In Klingon space, three Klingon battle cruisers encounter a huge cloud-like anomaly. On the bridge of one of the ships, the captain (Mark Lenard) orders his crew to fire torpedoes at it, but they have no effect. The ships take evasive action.

Meanwhile, in Federation space, a monitoring station, Epsilon 9, picks up a distress signal from one of the Klingon ships. As the three ships are attempting to escape the cloud, energy beams shoot out and engulf each ship one by one, and they vanish. On Epsilon 9, the crew tracks the course of the cloud and discovers that it is headed for Earth.

On Vulcan, Spock (Leonard Nimoy) has been undergoing the kohlinahr ritual, in which he has been learning how to purge all of his emotions, and is nearly finished with his training. A female Vulcan Master (Edna Glover), surrounded by two men, is about to give him an ornate necklace as a symbol of pure logic, when Spock holds out his hand to stop her. Confused, she mind-melds with him and senses a consciousness calling to him from space that is affecting his human side. She drops the necklace. "You have not yet achieved kohlinahr. You must look elsewhere for your answer," she says as they leave Spock. "You will not find it here."

In San Francisco, Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) arrives at Starfleet Headquarters in a shuttlecraft. He sees Commander Sonak (Jon Rashad Kamal), a Vulcan science officer who is joining the Enterprise crew and recommended for the position by Kirk himself. Kirk is bothered as to why Sonak is not on board yet. Sonak explains that Captain Willard Decker (Stephen Collins), the new captain of the Enterprise, wanted him to complete his science briefing at Headquarters before they left on their mission. The Enterprise has been undergoing a complete "refitting" for the past 18 months and is now under final preparations to leave, which would take at least 20 hours, but Kirk informs him that they only have 12. He tells Sonak to report to him on the Enterprise in one hour; he has a short meeting with Admiral Nogura and is intent on being on the ship.

Kirk transports to an office complex orbiting Earth and meets Montgomery Scott (James Doohan), the Enterprise's chief engineer. Scotty expresses his concern about the tight departure time. The cloud is less than three days away from Earth, and the Enterprise has been ordered to intercept it because they are the only ship in range. Scotty says that the refit can't be finished in 12 hours, and tries to convince him that the ship needs more work done as well as a shakedown cruise. Kirk insists that they are leaving, ready or not. They board a travel pod and begin the journey over to the drydock in orbit that houses the Enterprise.

Scotty tells Kirk that the crew hasn't had enough transition time with all the new equipment and that the engines haven't even been tested at warp power, not to mention that they have an untried captain. Kirk tells Scotty that two and a half years as Chief of Starfleet Operations may have made him a little stale, but that he wouldn't exactly consider himself untried. Kirk then tells a surprised Scotty that Starfleet gave him back his command of the Enterprise. Scotty doubts it, saying that he doesn't think it was that easy with Admiral Nogura, who gave Kirk his orders. They arrive at the Enterprise, and Scotty indulges Kirk with a brief tour of the new exterior of the ship.

Upon docking with the ship, Scotty is summoned to Engineering. Kirk goes up to the bridge, and is informed by Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) that Starfleet has just transferred command from Captain Decker over to him. Kirk finds Decker in engineering, whom is visibly upset when Kirk breaks the news that he is assuming command, but recognizes it is because Kirk has more experience. Decker will remain on the ship as 2nd officer. As Decker storms off, an alarm sounds. Someone is trying to beam over to the ship, but the transporter is malfunctioning. Kirk and Scotty race to the transporter room. Transporter operator Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) is frantically trying to tell Starfleet to abort the transport, but it is too late. Commander Sonak and an unknown female officer are beaming in, but their bodies aren't re-forming properly in the beam. The female officer screams, and then their bodies disappear. Starfleet signals to them that they have died. Kirk tells Starfleet to express his sympathies to their families.

In the corridor, Kirk sees Decker and tells him they will have to replace Commander Sonak and wants another Vulcan. Decker tells him that no one is available that is familiar with the ship's new design. Kirk tells Decker he will have to double his duties as science officer as well.

In the recreation room, as Kirk briefs the assembled crew on the mission, they receive a transmission from Epsilon 9. Commander Branch (David Gautreaux) tells them they have analyzed the mysterious cloud. It generates an immense amount of energy and measures 2 A.U.s (300 million km) in diameter. There is also a vessel of some kind in the center. They've tried to communicate with it and have performed scans, but the cloud reflects them back. It seems to think of the scans as hostile and attacks them. Like the Klingon ships earlier, Epsilon 9 disappears.

Later on the bridge, Uhura informs Kirk that the transporter is working now. Lt. Ilia, (Persis Khambatta), a bald being from the planet Delta IV, arrives. Decker is happy to see her, as they developed a romantic relationship when he was assigned to her planet several years earlier. Ilia is curious about Decker's reduction in rank and Kirk interrupts and tells her about Decker being the executive and science officer. Decker tells her, with slight sarcasm, that Kirk has the utmost confidence in him. Ilia tells Kirk that her oath of celibacy is on record and asks permission to assume her duties. Uhura tells Kirk that one of the last few crew members to arrive is refusing to beam up. Kirk goes to the transporter room to ensure that "he" beams up.

Kirk tells Starfleet to beam the officer aboard. Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley) materializes on the platform. McCoy is angry that his Starfleet commission was reactivated and that it was Kirk's idea for him to be brought along on the mission. His attitude changes, however, when Kirk says he desperately needs him. McCoy leaves to check out the new sickbay.

The crew finishes its repairs and the Enterprise leaves drydock and into the solar system. Dr. McCoy comes up to the bridge and complains that the new sickbay is nothing but a computer center. Kirk is anxious to intercept the cloud intruder, and orders Hikaru Sulu (George Takei) to go to warp speed. Suddenly, the ship enters a wormhole, which was created by an engine imbalance, and is about to collide with an asteroid that has been pulled inside. Kirk orders the phasers to be fired on it, but Decker tells Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) to fire photon torpedoes instead. The asteroid and the wormhole are destroyed. Annoyed, Kirk wants to meet with Decker in his quarters. Dr. McCoy decides to go along.

Kirk demands an explanation from Decker. Decker pointed out that the redesigned Enterprise channeled the phasers through the main engines and because they were imbalanced, the phasers were cut off. Kirk acknowledged that he had saved the ship; however, he accuses Decker of competing with him. Decker tells Kirk that, because of his unfamiliarity with the ship's new design, the mission is in jeopardy. Decker tells Kirk that he will gladly help Kirk understand the new design. Kirk then dismisses him from the room. In the corridor, Decker runs into Ilia. Ilia asked if the confrontation was difficult, and he tells her that it was about as difficult as seeing her again, and apologizes. She asked if he was sorry for leaving Delta IV, or for not saying goodbye. He said that if he had seen her again, would she be able to say goodbye? She says "no," and walked around him and entered her quarters nearby.

Back in Kirk's quarters, McCoy accuses Kirk of being the one who was competing, and the fact that it was Kirk who used the emergency to pressure Starfleet into letting him get command of the Enterprise. McCoy thinks that Kirk is obsessed with keeping his command. On Kirk's console viewscreen, Uhura informs Kirk that a shuttlecraft is approaching and that the occupant wishes to dock. Chekov also pipes in and replies that it appears to be a courier vessel. Kirk tells Chekov to handle the situation.

The shuttle approaches the Enterprise from behind, and the top portion of it detaches and docks at an airlock behind the bridge. Chekov is waiting by the airlock doors and is surprised to see Spock come aboard. Moments later, Spock arrives on the bridge, and everyone is shocked and pleased to see him, yet Spock ignores them. He moves over to the science station and tells Kirk that he is aware of the crisis and knows about the ship's engine design difficulties. He offers to step in as the science officer. McCoy and Dr. Christine Chapel (Majel Barret Roddenberry) come to the bridge to greet Spock, but Spock just stares alarmingly at their emotional outburst. Spock leaves to discuss fuel equations with Scotty in engineering.

With Spock's assistance, the engines are now rebalanced for full warp capacity. The ship successfully goes to warp to intercept the cloud. In the officers lounge, Spock meets with Kirk and McCoy. They discuss Spock's kohlinahr training on Vulcan, and how Spock broke off from his training to join them. Spock describes how he sensed the consciousness of the intruder, from a source more powerful that he has ever encountered, with perfect, logical thought patterns. He believes that it holds the answers he seeks. Uhura tells Kirk over the intercom that they have visual contact with the intruder.

The cloud scans the ship, but Kirk orders no return scans. Spock determines that the scans are coming from the center of the cloud. Uhura tries sending "linguacode" messages, but there is no response. Decker suggests raising the shields for protection, but Kirk determines that that might be considered hostile to the cloud. Spock analyzes the clouds composition, and discovers it has a 12-power energy field, the equivalent of power generated by thousands of starships.

Sitting at the science station, Spock awakens from a brief trance. He reveals to Kirk that the alien was communicating with him. The alien is puzzled; it contacted the Enterprise--why has the Enterprise not replied? A red alert sounds, and an energy beam from within the cloud touches the ship, and begins to overload the ship's systems. Bolts of lightning surround the warp core and nearly injure some engineering officers, and Chekov is also hurt--his hand is burned while sitting at the weapons station on the bridge. The energy beam then disappears. A medical team is summoned to the bridge, and Ilia is able to use her telepathic powers to soothe Chekov's pain.

Spock confirms to Kirk that the alien has been attempting to communicate. It communicates at a frequency of more than one million megahertz, and at such a high rate of speed, the message only lasts a millisecond. Spock programs to computer to send linguacode messages at that frequency. Another energy beam is sent out, but Spock transmits a message just in time, and the beam disappears. The ship continues on course through the cloud. They pass through many expansive and colorful cloud layers and upon clearing these, a giant vessel is revealed. It is roughly cylindrical in shape, with large spikes jutting out from the surface at equidistant angles between each other, forming a hexagon-like shape.

Kirk tells Uhura to transmit an image of the alien to Starfleet, but she explains that any transmission sent out of the cloud is being reflected back to them. Kirk orders Sulu to fly above and along the top of the vessel. The Enterprise is so small compared to the size of the alien vessel that it appears only as a little white dot next to it. The ship travels past many oddly-shaped structures, including a sunken area where the energy beams originate.

An alarm sounds, and yet another energy bolt approaches the ship. It appears on the bridge as a column of bright light that emits a very loud noise. The crew struggles to shield their eyes from its brilliant glow. Chekov asks Spock if it is one of the alien's crew, and Spock replies that it is a probe sent from the vessel. The probe slowly moves around the room and stops in front of the science station. Bolts of lightning shoot out from it and surround the console--it is trying to access the ship's computer. Spock manages to smash the controls to prevent further access, and the probe gives him an electric shock that sends him rolling onto the floor. The probe approaches the helm/navigation console and it scans Lt. Ilia. Suddenly, she vanishes, along with the probe.

Ahead of the ship looms another giant section of the vessel. A tractor beam is drawing the Enterprise toward an opening aperture. Decker calls for Chief DiFalco (Marcy Lafferty) to come up to the bridge as Ilia's replacement. The ship travels deep into the next chamber. Decker wonders why they were brought inside--they could have been easily destroyed outside. Spock deduces that the alien is curious about them. Uhura's monitor shows that the aperture is closing; they are trapped. The ship is released from the tractor beam and suddenly, an intruder alert goes off. Someone has come aboard the ship and is in the crew quarters section.

Kirk and Spock arrive inside a crewman's quarters to discover that the intruder is inside the sonic shower. It is revealed to be Ilia, although it isn't really her--there is a small red device attached to her neck. In a mechanized voice, she replies "You are the Kirk unit--you will listen to me." She explains that she has been programmed by an entity called "V'Ger" to observe and record the normal functions of the carbon-based units (humans) "infesting" the Enterprise. Kirk opens the shower door and "Ilia" steps out, wearing a small white garment that just materialized around her. Dr. McCoy and a security officer enter the room, and Kirk tells McCoy to scan her with a tricorder.

Kirk asks her who V'Ger is. She replies "V'Ger is that which programmed me." McCoy tells Kirk that Ilia is a mechanism and Spock confirms she is a probe that assumed Ilia's physical form. Kirk asks where the real Ilia is, and the probe states that "that unit" no longer functions. Kirk also asks why V'Ger is traveling to Earth, and the probe answers that it wishes to find the Creator, join with him, and become one with it. Spock suggests that McCoy perform a complete examination of the probe.

In sickbay, the Ilia probe lays on a diagnostic table, its sensors slowly taking readings. All normal body functions, down to the microscopic level, are exactly duplicated by the probe. Decker arrives and is stunned to see her there. She looks up at him and addresses him as "Decker", rather than "Decker unit," which intrigues Spock. Spock talks with Kirk and Decker in an adjoining room, and Spock locks the door. Spock theorizes that the real Ilia's memories and feelings have been duplicated by the probe as well as her body. Decker is angry that the probe killed Ilia, but Kirk convinces him that their only contact with the vessel is through the probe, and they need to use that advantage to find out more about the alien. Suddenly, the probe bursts through the door, and demands that Kirk assist her with her observations. He tells her that Decker will do it with more efficiency.

Decker and Ilia are seen walking around in the recreation room. He shows her pictures of previous ships that were named Enterprise. Decker has been trying to see if Ilia's memories or emotions can resurface, but to no avail. Kirk and McCoy are observing them covertly on a monitor from his quarters. Decker shows her a game that the crew enjoys playing. She is not interested and states that recreation and enjoyment has no meaning to her programming. At another game, which Ilia enjoyed and nearly always won, they both press one of their hands down onto a table to play it. The table lights up, indicating she won the game, and she gazes into Deckers eyes. This moment of emotion ends suddenly, and she returns to normal. "This device serves no purpose."

"Why does the Enterprise require the presence of carbon units?" she asks. Decker tells her the ship couldn't function without them. She tells him that more information is needed before the crew can be patterned for data storage. Horrified, he asks her what this means. "When my examination is complete, all carbon units will be reduced to data patterns." He tells her that within her are the memory patterns of a certain carbon unit. He convinces her to let him help her revive those patterns so that she can understand their functions better. She allows him to proceed.

Spock slowly enters an airlock room. He sees an officer standing at a console, his back to Spock. Spock quietly approaches him, and gives him the Vulcan nerve pinch to render him unconscious.

Decker, the probe, Dr. McCoy, and Dr. Chapel are in Ilia's quarters. Dr. Chapel gives the probe a decorative headband that Ilia used to wear. Chapel puts it over "Ilia's" head and turns her toward a mirror. Decker asks her if she remembers wearing it on Delta IV. The probe shows another moment of emotion, saying Dr. Chapel's name, and putting her hand on Decker's face, calling him Will. Behind them, McCoy reminds Decker that she is a mechanism. Decker asks "Ilia" to help them make contact with V'Ger. She says that she can't, and Decker asks her who the Creator is. She says V'Ger does not know. The probe becomes emotionless again and removes the headband.

Spock is now outside the ship in a space suit with an attached thruster pack. He begins recording a log entry for Kirk detailing his attempt to contact the alien. He activates a panel on the suit and calculates thruster ignition and acceleration to coincide with the opening of an aperture ahead of him. He hopes to get a better view of the spacecraft interior.

Kirk comes up to the bridge and Uhura tells him that Starfleet signals are growing stronger, indicating they are very close to Earth. Starfleet is monitoring the intruder and notifies Uhura that it is slowing down in its approach. Sulu confirms this and says that lunar beacons show the intruder is entering into orbit. Chekov tells Kirk that Airlock 4 has been opened and a thruster suit is missing. Kirk figures out that Spock has done it, and orders Chekov to get Spock back on the ship. He changes his mind, and instead tells him to determine his position.

Spock touches a button on his thruster panel and his thruster engine ignites. He is propelled forward rapidly, and enters the next chamber of the vessel just before the aperture closes behind him. The thruster engine shuts down, and the momentum carries Spock ahead further. He disconnects the thruster pack from his suit and it falls away from him.

Continuing his log entry, Spock sees an image of what he believes to be V'Gers home planet. He passes through a tunnel filled with crackling plasma energy, possibly a power source for a gigantic imaging system. Next, he sees several more images of planets, moons, stars, and galaxies stored and recorded. Spock theorizes that this may be a visual representation of V'Gers entire journey. "But who or what are we dealing with?" he ponders.

He sees the Epsilon 9 station, and notes to Kirk that he is convinced that all of what he is seeing is V'Ger; and that they are inside a living machine. Then he sees a giant image of Lt. Ilia with the sensor on her neck. Spock decides it must have some special meaning, so he attempts to mind-meld with it. He is quickly overwhelmed by the multitude of images flooding his mind, and is thrown backward.

Kirk is now in a space suit and has exited the ship. The aperture in front of the Enterprise opens, and Spock's unconscious body floats toward him. Later, Dr. Chapel and Dr. McCoy are examining Spock in sickbay. Dr. McCoy performs scans and determines that Spock endured massive neurological trauma from the mind-meld. Spock tells Kirk he should have known and Kirk asks if he was right about V'Ger. Spock calls it a conscious, living entity. Kirk explains that V'Ger considers the Enterprise a living machine and it's why "Ilia" refers to the ship as an entity and the crew as an infestation.

Spock describes V'Ger's homeworld as a planet populated by living machines with unbelievable technology. But with all that logic and knowledge, V'Ger is barren, with no mystery or meaning. He momentarily lapses into sleep but Kirk rouses him awake to ask what Spock should have known. Spock grasps Kirk's hand and tells him "This simple feeling is beyond V'Ger's comprehension. No meaning, no hope. And Jim, no answers. It's asking questions. 'Is this all that I am? Is there nothing more?'"

Uhura chimes in and tells Kirk that they are getting a faint signal from Starfleet. The intruder has been on their monitors for a while and the cloud is rapidly dissipating as it approaches. Sulu also comments that the intruder has slowed to sub-warp speed and is three minutes from Earth orbit. Kirk acknowledges and he, McCoy and Spock go up to the bridge.

Starfleet sends the Enterprise a tactical report on the intruders position. Uhura tells Kirk that V'Ger is transmitting a signal. Decker and "Ilia" come up to the bridge, and she says that V'Ger is signaling the Creator. Spock determines that the transmission is a radio signal. Decker tells Kirk that V'Ger expects an answer, but Kirk doesn't know the question. Then "Ilia" says that the Creator has not responded. An energy bolt is released from V'Ger and positions itself above Earth. Chekov reports that all planetary defense systems have just gone inoperative. Several more bolts are released, and they all split apart to form smaller ones and they assume equidistant positions around the planet.

McCoy notices that the bolts are the same ones that hit the ship earlier, and Spock says that these are hundreds of times more powerful, and from those positions, they can destroy all life on Earth. "Why?" Kirk asks "Ilia." She says that the carbon unit infestation will be removed from the Creator's planet as they are interfering with the Creator's ability to respond and accuses the crew of infesting the Enterprise and interfering in the same manner. Kirk tells "Ilia" that carbon units are a natural function of the Creator's planet and they are living things, not infestations. However "Ilia" says they are not true life forms like the Creator. McCoy realizes V'Ger must think its creator is a machine.

Spock compares V'Ger to a child, and suggests they treat it like one. McCoy retorts that this child is about to wipe out every living thing on Earth. To get "Ilia's" attention, Kirk says that the carbon units know why the Creator hasn't responded. The Ilia probe demands that the Creator "disclose the information." Kirk won't do it until V'Ger withdraws all the orbiting devices. In response to this, V'Ger cuts off the ship's communications with Starfleet. She tells him again to disclose the information. He refuses, and a plasma energy attack shakes the ship. McCoy tells Spock that the child is having a "tantrum."

Kirk tells the probe that if V'Ger destroys the Enterprise, then the information it needs will also be destroyed. Ilia says that it is illogical to withhold the required information, and asks him why he won't disclose it. Kirk explains it is because V'Ger is going to destroy all life on Earth. "Ilia" says that they have oppressed the Creator, and Kirk makes it clear he will not disclose anything. V'Ger needs the information, says "Ilia." Kirk says that V'Ger will have to withdraw all the orbiting devices. "Ilia" says that V'Ger will comply, if the carbon units give the information.

Spock tells Kirk that V'Ger must have a central brain complex. Kirk theorizes that the orbiting devices are controlled from there. Kirk tells "Ilia" that the information cant be disclosed to V'Ger's probe, but only to V'Ger itself. "Ilia" stares at the viewscreen, and, in response, the aperture opens and drags the ship forward with a tractor beam into the next chamber. Chekov tells Kirk that the energy bolts will reach their final positions and activate in 27 minutes. Kirk calls to Scotty on the intercom and tells him to stand by to execute Starfleet Order 2005; the self-destruct command. A female crewmember asks Scotty why Kirk ordered self-destruct, and Scotty tells her that Kirk hopes that when they explode, so will the intruder.

The countdown is now down to 18 minutes. DiFalco reports that they have traveled 17 kilometers inside the vessel. Kirk goes over to Spock's station, and sees that Spock has been crying. "Not for us," Kirk realizes. Spock tells him he is crying for V'Ger, and that he weeps for V'Ger as he would for a brother. As he was when he came aboard the Enterprise, so is V'Ger now--empty, incomplete, and searching. Logic and knowledge are not enough. McCoy realizes Spock has found what he needed, but that V'Ger hasn't. Decker wonders what V'Ger would need to fulfill itself.

Spock comments that each one of us, at some point in our lives asks, "Why am I here?" "What was I meant to be?" V'Ger hopes to touch its Creator and find those answers. DiFalco directs Kirk's attention to the viewscreen. Ahead of them is a structure with a bright light. Sulu reports that forward motion has stopped. Chekov replies that an oxygen/gravity envelope has formed outside of the ship. "Ilia" points to the structure on the screen and identifies it as V'Ger. Uhura has located the source of the radio signal and it is straight ahead. A passageway forms outside the ship as Kirk Spock, McCoy, Decker, and "Ilia" enter a turbolift.

The landing party exits an airlock on the top of the saucer section and walks up the passageway. At the end of the path is a concave structure, and in the center of it is an old NASA probe from three centuries earlier. Kirk tries to rub away the smudges on the nameplate and makes out the letters V G E R. He continues to rub, and discovers that the craft is actually Voyager 6. Kirk recalls the history of the Voyager program--it was designed to collect data and transmit it back to Earth. Decker tells Kirk that Voyager 6 disappeared through a black hole.

Kirk says that it must have emerged on the far side of the galaxy and got caught in the machine planet's gravity. Spock theorizes that the planet's inhabitants found the probe to be one of their own kind--primitive, yet kindred. They discovered the probe's 20th century programming, which was to collect data and return that information to its creator. The machines interpreted that instruction literally, and constructed the entire vessel so that Voyager could fulfill its programming. Kirk continues by saying that on its journey back, it amassed so much knowledge that it gained its own consciousness.

"Ilia" tells Kirk that V'Ger awaits the information. Kirk calls Uhura on his communicator and tells her to find information on the probe in the ship's computer, specifically the NASA code signal, which will allow the probe to transmit its data. Decker realizes that that is what the probe was signaling--it's ready to transmit everything. Kirk then says that there is no one on Earth who recognizes the old-style signal--the Creator does not answer.

Kirk calls out to V'Ger and says that they are the Creator. "Ilia" says that is not logical--carbon units are not true life forms. Kirk says they will prove it by allowing V'Ger to complete its programming. Uhura calls Kirk on his communicator and tells him she has retrieved the code. Kirk tells her to set the Enterprise transmitter to the code frequency and to transmit the signal. Decker reads off the numerical code on his tricorder, and is about to read the final sequence, but Voyager's circuitry burns out, an effort by V'Ger itself to prevent the last part of the code from being transmitted.

"Ilia" says that the Creator must join with V'Ger, and turns toward Decker. McCoy warns Kirk that they only have 10 minutes left. Decker figures out that V'Ger wanted to bring the Creator here and transmit the code in person. Spock tells Kirk that V'Ger's knowledge has reached the limits of the universe and it must evolve. Kirk says that V'Ger needs a human quality in order to evolve. Decker thinks that V'Ger joining with the Creator will accomplish that. He then goes over to the damaged circuitry and fixes the wires so he can manually enter the rest of the code through the ground test computer. Kirk tries to stop him, but "Ilia" tosses him aside. Decker tells Kirk that he wants this as much as Kirk wanted the Enterprise.

Suddenly, a bright light forms around Decker's body. "Ilia" moves over to him, and the light encompasses them both as they merge together. Their bodies disappear, and the light expands and begins to consume the area. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy retreat back to the Enterprise. V'Ger explodes, leaving the Enterprise above Earth, unharmed. On the bridge, Kirk wonders if they just saw the beginning of a new life form, and Spock says yes and that it is possibly the next step in their evolution. McCoy says that its been a while since he "delivered" a baby, and hopes that they got this one off to a good start.

Uhura tells Kirk that Starfleet is requesting the ship's damage and injury reports and vessel status. Kirk reports that there were only two casualties: Lt. Ilia and Captain Decker. He quickly corrects his statement and changes their status to "missing." Vessel status: fully operational. Scotty comes on the bridge and agrees with Kirk that it's time to give the Enterprise a proper shakedown. When Scotty offers to have Spock back on Vulcan in four days, Spock says that's unnecessary, as his task on Vulcan is completed.

Kirk tells Sulu to proceed ahead at warp factor one. When DiFalco asks for a heading, Kirk simply says "Out there, thataway." With that, the Enterprise flies overhead and engages warp drive.

Las Propuestas de Exámenes de Historia del Arte del curso 2020-2021 by Enrique Viola

[Una versión más legible se encontrará en la entrada correspondiente del blog, cuyo enlace se señala a continuación]

enriqueviolanevado.blogspot.com/2022/02/las-propuestas-de...

En el curso 2018-2019 los exámenes anteriores se publicaron a finales de septiembre de 2019, fecha que batió todas las marcas. En el siguiente también se fulminaron todos los récords… pero de tardanza, pues no aparecieron hasta febrero de 2021, que se dice pronto. En el presente curso escolar se pusieron a disposición pública a mediados de noviembre de 2021. Esta era la fecha tradicional en que veían la luz las propuestas, pero eso ocurría en los años en los que la prueba extraordinaria se realizaba en septiembre. En el curso en el que esta convocatoria quedó fijada en julio resultaba razonable esperar que los plazos se adelantaran.

Otra previsión razonable establecía que la revelación de las directrices y orientaciones del presente año académico se publicase antes o, cuando menos, de forma simultánea a la presentación de los juegos de pruebas del curso pasado. No obstante, y pese a varias (y vanas) promesas la aparición de las dichosas directrices se han ido retardando hasta el momento en que escribimos esta reseña. Y la reunión, aun no se ha celebrado. Tiene como fecha la primera semana de marzo, o sea cuando el curso está ya más que mediado. Todos sabíamos que el diseño de exámenes iba a seguir marcado por la pandemia, pero, a lo que parece, las ponencias han estado esperando un milagro que no se ha producido.

Al menos, al publicar las pruebas, en esta ocasión sí se ha indicado cuál examen fue titular en junio o en julio y cuál se quedó en el limbo de las reservas. Ya no queda otro camino para identificar al examen de la prueba extraordinaria, por la sencilla razón de los alumnos que se presentan se cuentan con los dedos de una mano y, desde luego, no habrán contado con la ayuda de profesores que les acompañen. En esta menguada convocatoria, conseguir un examen o una copia de examen es una empresa punto menos que imposible.

Por su parte, el juego de propuestas de exámenes de Historia del Arte del curso 2019-2020 merece las siguientes consideraciones:

Las pruebas han seguido escrupulosamente las normas expuestas en la respectiva adaptación de la materia y ejemplificada en el modelo al que acabamos de aludir.

De esta forma, la estructura de cuatro preguntas teóricas y cuatro imágenes con cuestionario se mantiene, pero el examen solo tendrá una opción y el estudiante podrá escoger las preguntas de desarrollo y las preguntas de cuestiones que considere más oportuno, siempre que redacte dos de las primeras y dos de la segunda.

Se ha modificado la antigua maquetación y ahora primero se enuncian las cuatro preguntas de desarrollo y, seguidamente, se muestran compartimentadas en viñetas las imágenes y las cuestiones que se realizan sobre la misma. Como se advierte en las instrucciones, la elección de las dos preguntas de cuestiones (A, B, C o D) no están vinculadas a la elección de las preguntas de desarrollo elegidas (1, 2, 3 o 4) y viceversa.

Esta disposición facilita, una vez más, enormemente la preparación de la asignatura:

El alumno puede prepararse cualquiera de las dos mitades del temario (u opciones) e incluso puede limitarse a la parte que comparten ambas alternativas (románico, el gótico, el renacimiento-manierismo, el barroco, el neoclásico, Goya). Si bien, se trata de una solución que nosotros no aconsejaríamos. En cualquier caso, otorga mucha seguridad al alumno el disponer de más posibilidades en el que caso de que no reconozca una imagen o se le complique alguna de las preguntas teóricas.

Pasando al análisis de los contenidos del juego de exámenes, las preguntas aparecidas en las siete propuestas de examen de Historia del Arte son las siguientes:

1. El templo griego: el Partenón.

2. Los edificios bizantinos y la cúpula: Santa Sofía.

3. Arte califal: la mezquita de Córdoba, arquitectura y decoración.

4. El arte nazarí: La Alhambra y el Generalife.

5. Arquitectura románica: la iglesia de peregrinación.

6. El arte románico. La escultura y la pintura.

7. La arquitectura del renacimiento: Brunelleschi y Alberti.

8. La escultura del Quattrocento: Ghiberti y Donatello.

9. La escultura del Quattrocento italiano: Donatello y Ghiberti.

10. El “Cinquecento”. Escultura: Miguel Ángel.

11. La escultura del Cinquecento en Italia: Miguel Ángel.

12. España: arquitectura del Plateresco al Escorial.

13. La pintura barroca en Holanda: Rembrandt.

14. La pintura en Flandes y Holanda: Rubens y Rembrandt.

15. La pintura barroca española. Realismo: Velázquez y Murillo.

16. El realismo barroco español: Velázquez y Murillo.

17. Francisco de Goya (en dos pruebas).

18. Impresionismo: Monet, Renoir y Degas (en dos pruebas).

19. La arquitectura del movimiento moderno. Racionalismo: Le Corbusier; Organicismo: Frank Lloyd Wright (en dos pruebas).

20. La arquitectura del movimiento moderno. Organicismo: Frank Lloyd Wright.

21. Las vanguardias históricas: Fauvismo y Cubismo.

Y las obras de arte reproducidas son las que se refieren a continuación:

a) Teatro de Epidauro de Policleto el Joven.

b) El Doríforo de Policleto (en dos pruebas).

c) Hermes y Dionisio niño de Praxiteles.

d) El Augusto de Prima Porta.

e) Maiestas Domini del ábside de San Clemente de Tahull.

f) Cúpula de la catedral de Florencia de Brunelleschi.

g) La Villa Rotonda o Villa Capra de Palladio.

h) El David de Miguel Ángel.

i) La Escuela de Atenas de Rafael Sanzio.

j) Carlos V en la Batalla de Mühlberg de Tiziano.

k) Interior de San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane de Borromini.

l) Apolo y Dafne de Bernini.

m) El aguador de Sevilla de Diego Velázquez.

n) El dos de mayo de 1808 en Madrid de Francisco de Goya

o) Los fusilamientos del 3 de mayo de Francisco de Goya (en 3 pruebas).

p) La Noche Estrellada de Vincent van Gogh.

q) La Villa Saboya de Le Corbusier (en 2 pruebas).

r) El Profeta de Pablo Gargallo.

s) El Museo Guggenheim de Bilbao de Frank Owen Gehry.

t) Marilyn Monroe de Andy Warhol.

Como es sabido, el actual modelo de examen se implantó en las pruebas de 2017. Si se establece un repertorio de preguntas e imágenes a partir de entonces, las novedades del juego de propuestas de 2021 en el caso de las preguntas serían las siguientes:

1. Arte califal: la mezquita de Córdoba, arquitectura y decoración.

2. Arquitectura románica: la iglesia de peregrinación.

3. La arquitectura del renacimiento: Brunelleschi y Alberti.

4. La pintura barroca en Holanda: Rembrandt

5. La arquitectura del movimiento moderno. Organicismo: Frank Lloyd Wright.

6. Las vanguardias históricas: Fauvismo y Cubismo.

Y las novedades del juego de propuestas de 2020 en el caso de las imágenes serían las que se refieren a continuación:

a) El Teatro de Epidauro de Policleto el Joven.

b) Cúpula de la catedral de Florencia de Brunelleschi.

c) La Villa Rotonda o Villa Capra de Palladio.

d) El David de Miguel Ángel.

e) Carlos V en la Batalla de Mühlberg de Tiziano.

f) Apolo y Dafne de Bernini.

g) Interior de San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane de Borromini.

h) El dos de mayo de 1808 en Madrid de Francisco de Goya

i) Marilyn Monroe de Andy Warhol.

El retrato de Marilyn Monroe de Andy Warhol y el retrato de Carlos V en Mühlberg son novedades absolutas, esto es, que no han aparecido en el repertorio de los exámenes publicados. En cualquier caso sus reproducciones adornan el incombustible manual de don Jesús Palomero Páramo.

A partir de estos contenidos teóricos y prácticos (o sea, repertorio de preguntas e imágenes) se pueden extraer las siguientes conclusiones:

a) En cuanto a la selección de preguntas e imágenes, el nivel de la prueba resulta de escasa dificultad mientras que en el examen asignado al alumno no sea el que incluya el Teatro de Epidauro o el Tiziano. Vamos, que realmente existen notables diferencias en la resolución de la prueba entre unas propuestas y otras. Si la última propuesta hubiera sido escogida como examen titular de junio o de julio, no cabe duda de que la estadística de aprobados hubiera sido mucho menos halagüeña.

b) Se observan bastantes repeticiones de preguntas y de obras de arte, práctica que, por habitual que ya resulte, no deja de constituir un despropósito. Si la Ponencia ha establecido las preguntas que ha considerado oportunas, será porque todas presentan la misma importancia. Idéntico razonamiento se puede aplicar a las imágenes. Reiterar contenidos en las pruebas desacredita al profesor que insiste en impartir todo el temario y desarrollar todos los ejercicios prácticos.

Igualmente, pone contra las cuerdas al alumno que se presenta a la evaluación extraordinaria tras haber suspendido la ordinaria o no haber conseguido en ella la calificación que pretendía. Lógicamente este escolar no se preparará las preguntas y ejercicios que encontró en la prueba de junio. No obstante, y si existen repeticiones, puede volverlas a encontrar en julio, pues el sistema de sorteo no tiene en cuenta esta posibilidad. Y es que estas reiteraciones no tendrían que existir, porque un profesor que plantea las mismas cuestiones en dos exámenes consecutivos no está realizando bien su trabajo, francamente.

Otra cuestión, muy distinta, es que vuelvan a escogerse preguntas y obras de arte para comentar que ya aparecieron en pruebas de años anteriores. La libertad de la Ponencia que diseña las pruebas comienza ahí. Además, si se no se pudiera volver a seleccionar, se recaería en el mismo error, pues entonces partirían con más posibilidades de ser escogidos los contenidos que en el curso anterior quedaron inéditos. En resumen: en un mismo juego de exámenes no deben reiterarse preguntas y ejercicios prácticos y cada tanda de propuesta debe partir de cero a la hora de seleccionar sus contenidos.

En un rápido repaso de las reiteraciones encontramos que Goya, los tres impresionistas, Le Corbusier y Frank Lloyd Wright lideran el elenco. Merece la pena reseñarse la sobredosis de Goya. El hijo ilustre de Fuendetodos se luce en todas las pruebas (sí, en todas) ya sea como pregunta o como imagen (y esta es siempre el dos o el tres de mayo). Respecto al arte andaluz, su representación resulta bastante escueta y se reduce a preguntas teóricas sobre la Alhambra y sobre Velázquez y Murillo, o sea nuestras aportaciones más destacadas al panorama del arte universal. Un curso más se evidencia que la minusvaloración de los monumentos, imaginería y demás producciones artísticas de la Tierra de María Santísima, se viene observando en la Prueba de Arte desde tiempo inmemorial.

c) Cuando se diseñó el presente modelo de examen, allá por el curso 2016-2017, la gran novedad era la incorporación del arte de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Tras cinco convocatorias, la presencia de este tema (en preguntas y obras de artes) en las propuestas se queda entre exigua y risible. En este curso se reduce al Guggenheim de Bilbao (que es el ejemplo más socorrido) y el retrato de Marilyn de Warhol.

d) Una superstición que se resiste a desaparecer pero que todavía se propala en algún Centro con docente (normalmente profesora) a punto de jubilarse, sostiene que los centenarios, cincuentenarios, exposiciones magnas y hasta coronaciones canónicas celebrados en el curso en cuestión resultan determinantes para la selección de las obras de arte de la prueba de ese año. Siempre afirmamos que esta aseveración no se ha cumplido nunca. Principalmente, porque se elaboran seis propuestas distintas y se efectúa un sorteo para decidir la prueba ordinaria, la extraordinaria y los exámenes de suplemento.

Look up: Sycamore trees in winter by javadoug

Look up: Sycamore trees in winter

Sycamore tree on Hunter Drive, Murrysville.

How many people get depressed or sad in winter because of the weather and conditions outside? What are you missing. You are missing the beauty that still exists out there, but is harder to grasp. It may be cold, colourless and drab, but there is beauty there, nevertheless, and alwaysthemore. Just look at the Sycamore trees, if you have them near you. All of the rest of the trees I would still characterize as beautiful, even in winter, but the Sycamore trees out shine them all. You just can't deny it. They have lost their giant leaves, which aren't necessarily the nicest of leaves, so in summer if you were a sycamore tree you might feel inferior. But in winter it is now your time to shine. The other trees are sort of a dull drab gray or brown, but the sycamores have a beautiful white bark, especially as you ascend the trunk to the upper places. Just look up. Perhaps if you walk all day just looking at your feet, which if you are walking in the woods might be good advice, so that you don't trip over a root or fallen branch, but you must resist that urge and look up at some of that beauty just above you. Whoever endowed you with two sharp eyes to perceive perhaps left out maybe one more to look skyward. But seriously the times I find myself looking up, especially at nature, are the most joyous. The white bark of the sycamore is a great sight to see in winter, so go see it. I've tried to photograph it, and that looks nice, but without the effect of walking around or even driving by one of these great trees, you don't get the full effect. In Pittsburgh old sycamores line many of the roads, but the younger ones in the parks and woods outshine these and deserve a look. One of these days I'll find a way to ascend one of these great beauties to try to get a close up photo of the white bark, just to see how that would turn out.

I wrote this a few years ago, and now that I have my new camera with the 12x zoom, I no longer feel the need to climb the tree to get a good shot :)

♥ Nếu có một Cự Giải nói yêu anh…

- Nghĩa là Cự Giải thật sự có tình cảm với anh rất nhiều đấy. Vì bản tính của Cự Giải khá nghiêm túc trong tình cảm nên nó sẽ suy nghĩ kỹ trước khi nói ra quyết định của mình.

- Có thể là Cự Giải cũng đam mê cái đẹp đấy...Có thể Cự Giải cũng sẽ nhìn một chàng trai khác khi bước ngang qua. Nhưng chỉ là thoáng qua và Cự Giải cũng chẳng bận tâm gì...Vì sau cùng, Cự Giải lại chú ý nhiều nhất đến anh - Người luôn quan tâm âm thầm đến những người khác. Nếu phải lựa chọn giữa 1 chàng trai đẹp và 1 chàng trai thông minh thì Cự Giải sẽ nghiêng hẳn về anh chàng thứ 2 đấy anh à!

- Không biết nên gọi đây là một tính tốt hay xấu của Cự Giải nữa- Cự Giải rất là si tình, đã yêu một ai rồi là yêu cực kỳ. Cho dù đôi lúc Cự Giải và anh đều bảo " chuyện chúng mình sẽ chẳng đến đâu" thì Cự Giải cũng khó mà dứt ra được và vì Cự Giải luôn cố chứng minh điều ngược lại.

- Cự Giải khi yêu anh thì sẽ suy nghĩ rất nhiều về anh- như là anh đã ăn chưa, anh đang làm gì, giờ này có lẽ vẫn đang ngủ vùi trong chăn… Nếu những việc Cự Giải có thể làm được thì nó sẽ cố giúp anh chỉ để anh không mệt mỏi vì bản tính gần đến sát ngày mới bắt đầu thực hiện công việc...Anh nên tự hào đấy! Vì những hành động này Cự Giải chỉ dành riêng cho anh, nó sẽ bỏ những sự quan tâm của người khác sang một bên…

♥ Anh này! Nếu anh yêu một Cự Giải

- Thì anh yêu cả những tính cách của Cự Giải nhé. Thực chất Cự Giải rất yếu lòng, dễ bị cảm động, tủi thân mặc dù cho nó luôn tỏ vẻ rất kiên cường, cứng cáp trước mặt anh.

- Thì anh nhịn bước trước những cư xử vô cớ của Cự Giải nhé. Cự Giải biết là nó sai thật đấy, nhưng vì tự ái và thích cãi lại anh nên nó mới cư xử như thế thôi. Chỉ cần anh nhẹ nhàng là tự nó biết lỗi và sẽ tìm cách làm hòa với anh ngay.

- Thì anh quan tâm Cự Giải nhiều hơn một chút nhé. Vì Cự Giải rất sợ cảm giác cô đơn, bị bỏ mặc. Những lúc như thế, nó thường khép mình lại và không nói cho anh nghe cảm giác thật đâu.

- Thì anh đừng bực về cái tính lải nhải của nó nhé. Cự Giải có khả năng nhớ chuyện cũ cao siêu lắm. Nó nhớ rõ những kỉ niệm vui vẻ cùng anh, nhưng đồng thời đôi khi cũng sẵn sang bới móc những chuyện xa xưa ra để cãi vã…Nhưng thực chất, nó chỉ nói thế thôi chứ không có suy nghĩ xấu gì cả.

- Thì anh hãy chia sẻ những tâm sự, suy nghĩ của anh cho nó được không? Vì nó rất muốn hiểu anh đang nghĩ gì, muốn quan tâm và chia sẻ với anh thật nhiều.

- Thì anh chẳng cần nói những lời quá đỗi ngọt ngào đâu. Đối với Cự Giải, cuộc đời này dài rộng và mênh mông lắm, có những nỗi sợ không gọi thành tên cứ len lỏi trong đầu nó. Vì vậy chỉ cần một cái ôm hay những cái xiết tay chặt của anh là nó sẽ cảm thấy yên trong lòng.

♥ Và anh này ! Nếu Cự Giải và anh phải chia tay nhau.

Là em- một Cự Giải, muốn níu kéo anh lại lắm- nhưng nó lại sợ sẽ làm anh mệt mỏi vì bản tính của nó. Cự Giải chẳng bao giờ bỏ cuộc nếu chỉ vì những lời tác động của người khác- nhưng nó sẽ rất đau nếu biết chính nó làm người nó yêu quý bị tổn thương...

- Những câu nói xin lỗi muốn được thốt ra nhưng nó lại vụng về, lúng túng trong cách trình bày những suy nghĩ thành lời.Sẽ cám ơn anh vì đã cho nó những kỉ niệm đẹp - dẫu có đôi lúc kỉ niệm là những lần cãi vã vì chính nó gây ra nhưng nó trân trọng tất cả. Anh hãy bỏ qua nhé nếu Cự Giải đã không tin tưởng anh thật nhiều, như anh đã nói:" Niềm tin thì khó xây, nhưng đạp đổ thì rất dễ".

- Anh đừng hỏi " Em có khóc không? Đừng cố giả vờ" – Anh biết rõ là Cự Giải luôn giả vờ để tạo ra vỏ bọc cho bản thân nó mà. Nó không muốn anh thấy cái sự đau , cái nhói của nó và vì nó muốn giữ hình ảnh thật đẹp, lúc nào cũng tươi cười trước mặt anh của nó.Cự Giải mâu thuẫn lắm. Mặc dù nó vẫn muốn được anh gọi nó là "em" nhưng mỗi lần nghe thấy điều đó nó sẽ không kiểm soát được cảm xúc của mình.

- Anh đừng nói những câu như " xin lỗi, đã làm em buồn và mệt mỏi nhiều"- Đó không phải là điều nó muốn nghe..anh đừng bắt Cự Giải phải đối diện với anh như một người bạn ngay lập tức – Đối với Cự Giải- có rất nhiều thói quen mà nó chẳng muốn bỏ đi- một trong những điều đó là quên anh.

Và anh này… Thật sự em không muốn nói điều này đâu- vì bản tính Cự Giải đôi khi cũng ích kỉ lắm- Nếu sau này anh yêu một ai đó- Anh hãy yêu luôn cả phần tình cảm chưa kịp đong đầy của chúng ta nhé ♥

Bạn đã bao giờ gặp cô gái Cự Giải? Bạn có thấy bối rối không hiểu cô ấy thân thiện, lạnh nhạt hay khó gần? Những điều trên đều có thể là hoàn toàn đúng với nàng, cũng có thể là không đúng chút nào.

Bạn vẫn còn phân vân? Đàn bà Cự Giải thay đổi tâm trạng luôn luôn, những nét trên chính là những nét bạn hay gặp nhất ở nàng.

Tuy nhiên, tính cách cơ bản của nàng không thay đổi. Nàng rất nhạy cảm, tâm lý, tốt bụng và quan tâm đến người khác. Tuy vậy, hầu hết các đặc điểm tiêu biểu này đều bị ẩn đi dưới lớp vỏ hờ hững và khó gần của nàng.

Bạn sẽ phải nhẹ nhàng tháo bỏ lớp vỏ ấy của Cự Giải để thấy được hết bản chất của nàng. Khi yêu, đàn bà Cự Giải mềm yếu, rất "đàn bà", rụt rè và thùy mị.

Cô ấy không thích chỉ trích, không thể chịu nổi sự cự tuyệt và sẽ bị tổn thương sâu sắc bởi những lời lẽ thô bỉ.

Thái độ quá "xông xáo" của bạn sẽ khiến cô ấy lưỡng lự. Cự Giải không bao giờ "tiến tới" trước; cô ấy chỉ biết đến lùi lại hoặc yên vị. Có 2 lý do cho việc này, đó là sự nhút nhát và nỗi sợ bị cự tuyệt.

Cô ấy rất yêu mẹ, vì thế bạn cũng nên kính trọng bà ấy. Cô ấy cũng thích giữ bí mật và không bao giờ muốn thấy bạn bạn tò mò quanh cuốn nhật ký của nàng.

Cô ấy luôn có cảm giác không an toàn trong tình yêu và sẽ rất cần sự kiên định của bạn.

Sẽ chẳng có vấn đề gì nếu cô ấy hiện là Hoa hậu Hoàn Vũ hay có hàng tá đàn ông đang theo đuổi, điều nàng quan tâm nhất chỉ là liệu bạn có chú ý và khuyến khích nàng hay không.

Đàn bà Cự Giải là những người rất giỏi nấu ăn, những bữa ăn của họ thậm chí còn ngon hơn cả những đầu bếp ở khách sạn 5 sao!

Có điều bạn sẽ phải học cách chung sống với tính cách thất thường của cô ấy, song điều ấy không quá khó vì nhìn từ nhiều góc độ, cô ấy vẫn là một cô gái rất tuyệt vời.

Cô gái Cự Giải là một người hoàn toàn chung thủy. Bằng tình cảm và sự hài hước của mình, cô ấy sẽ luôn mang đến cho bạn hạnh phúc.

Một khi đã yêu, cô ấy sẽ nguyện gắn bó với bạn suốt cuộc đời. Tuy nhiên, khi yêu cô gái Cự giải, bạn phải thực sự cẩn trọng với từng lời nói, vì cô ấy là người rẩt nhạy cảm và dễ bị tổn thương. Khi ấy, cô ấy có thể khóc như một đứa trẻ lên 2, và bạn sẽ là người phải đứng cạnh lau khô những giọt nước mắt ấy.

Cô gái Cự giải đặc biệt cẩn thận trong vấn đề tài chính. Không keo kiệt, cũng không quá hoang phí, họ có thói quen tiết kiệm những thứ có thể sử dụng lại được, cho dù nó là tiền hay thậm chí chỉ là những cái cúc áo hay những cái chai không. Họ cũng cẩn thận gìn giữ những vật có giá trị tinh thần, chẳng hạn như chiếc áo len được bà đan tặng nhân ngày sinh nhật.

Cô ấy cũng là một người cảnh giác cao, kể cả đối với bạn nữa đấy.

Tuy nhiên, cô ấy không hề sở hữu hay quá ghen tuông, nhưng bạn hãy nhớ rằng chẳng ai thích chia sẻ tình yêu của mình cả.

Cô ấy cũng là một trong những người không bao giờ lùi bước trước những điều kém may mắn. Cô ấy có thể cũng thất vọng và khóc một mình, nhưng sẽ kiên nhẫn chờ đợi sự thay đổi trong những lần sau.

Hầu hết các cô gái Cự giải đều muốn mình được chiều chuộng như những đứa trẻ.

Đừng quên hãy quan tâm nhiều hơn một chút khi nàng có chuyện buồn, nều không cô ấy sẽ núp sâu hơn vào vỏ bọc bản thân mình. Khi ấy, giúp cô ấy trở lại là chính mình sẽ vô cùng khó.

Cô ấy luôn muốn được an ủi động viên rằng mình là người đầy khao khát và rằng bạn luôn cần có cô ấy bên cạnh.

Tuy vậy, cô ấy không hẳn là một người quá yếu đuối, mà hoàn toàn có khả năng tự chăm sóc mình. Thực tế đàn bà Cự giải là một người giàu đức hy sinh, cô ấy có thể làm mọi điều cho người mình yêu.

Cô ấy có thể rất dễ bị tổn thương khi tình cảm của mình bị chà đạp, thế nhưng khi bạn cần cô ấy, cố ấy lại có thể cứng rắn như "những tảng đá của Gibraltar".

Cô ấy cũng là một người mẹ tốt luôn che chở bảo vệ và mang lại cảm giác bình an nhất cho những đứa con của mình.

Với cô ấy, bọn trẻ là tất cả, và chúng chắc chắn sẽ nhận được sự chăm sóc tuyệt vời với tất cả tình yêu, sự quan tâm, và che chở. Tất nhiên, bọn trẻ cũng vô cùng yêu mẹ, cho dù chúng có đi đâu xa nhà, chúng nhất định sẽ tìm về bên cạnh mẹ.

Cự Giải luôn cần có bạn ở bên che chở và chăm sóc nhưng sẽ không bao giờ tỏ ra buồn phiền khi bạn không thể đứng bên cô ấy. Cô ấy biết rằng bạn sẽ nhanh chóng trở về, theo sát ước mơ của bạn, và là một người vợ lý tưởng trên mọi nẻo đường bạn đi qua.

Quyến rũ và dịu dàng hơn bao giờ hết, cô ấy luôn chờ bạn với bữa ăn nóng hổi, chăm sóc bạn, lắng nghe những phiền muộn của bạn, và đem nụ cười trở về cùng bạn.
