We have just finished our third week of camp. The Willows campers have been kept very busy these past three weeks. The days have been flying by way too quickly. It was very exciting to have all our Willows family members join us for an outstanding visiting day. The children were extremely excited to share their activities with their parents, while the parents had fun pretending to be campers. We hope you had as much fun as we did and lunch together was terrific.
The children enjoyed this weeks theme of “I Spy”. They had fun decorating binoculars in Camper Creations. In Ceramics, each child enjoyed making their favorite food out of clay with the help of their parents. Their ceramic projects will be sent home shortly. To end our wonderful week, The Willows campers joined the rest of camp at Waterworld. The children drove
water boats and joined in other great water activities. A terrific time was had by all!
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

Ο Θεός λέει:«Στην Εποχή της Βασιλείας, ο Θεός χρησιμοποιεί τον λόγο για να αναγγείλει μια νέα εποχή, να αλλάξει τα μέσα του έργου Του και να επιτελέσει το έργο όλης της εποχής. Αυτή είναι η θεμελιώδης αρχή, σύμφωνα με την οποία ο Θεός εργάζεται στην Εποχή του Λόγου. Ενσαρκώθηκε για να μιλήσει από διαφορετικές οπτικές γωνίες, επιτρέποντας στον άνθρωπο να δει αληθινά τον Θεό, ο οποίος είναι ο Λόγος που εμφανίζεται στη σάρκα, και η σοφία και το θαύμα Του. Αυτό το έργο επιτελείται ώστε να επιτύχει πιο καλύτερα τους στόχους της κατάκτησης του ανθρώπου, της τελείωσης του ανθρώπου και της εξόντωσης του ανθρώπου. Αυτό είναι το πραγματικό νόημα της χρήσης του λόγου για την επιτέλεση του έργου στην Εποχή του Λόγου. Μέσω του λόγου, ο άνθρωπος καταφέρνει να γνωρίσει το έργο του Θεού, τη διάθεση του Θεού, την ουσία του ανθρώπου και σε τι οφείλει να εισέλθει ο άνθρωπος. Μέσω του λόγου, ολοκληρώνεται το σύνολο του έργου που ο Θεός επιθυμεί να επιτελέσει στην Εποχή του Λόγου. Μέσω του λόγου, ο άνθρωπος αποκαλύπτεται, αποκλείεται και δοκιμάζεται. Ο άνθρωπος έχει δει τον λόγο, έχει ακούσει τον λόγο και έχει επίγνωση της ύπαρξης του λόγου. Ως αποτέλεσμα, ο άνθρωπος πιστεύει στην ύπαρξη του Θεού. Ο άνθρωπος πιστεύει στην παντοδυναμία και τη σοφία του Θεού, καθώς και στην καρδιά του Θεού που είναι γεμάτη αγάπη για τον άνθρωπο, και στην επιθυμία Του να σώσει τον άνθρωπο. Μολονότι η λέξη «λόγος» είναι απλή και συνηθισμένη, ο λόγος που προέρχεται από το στόμα του ενσαρκωμένου Θεού συγκλονίζει ολόκληρο το σύμπαν. Ο λόγος Του μεταμορφώνει την καρδιά του ανθρώπου, τις αντιλήψεις και την παλαιά διάθεση του ανθρώπου, καθώς και την παλαιά εμφάνιση ολόκληρου του κόσμου. Μέσα από τις διάφορες εποχές, μόνο ο Θεός της σημερινής εποχής εργάζεται κατ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο, και μόνο Αυτός μιλά και σώζει τον άνθρωπο κατ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο. Εφεξής, ο άνθρωπος ζει υπό την καθοδήγηση του λόγου, ποιμαίνεται και εφοδιάζεται από τον λόγο. Ζει στον κόσμο του λόγου, ζει μέσα στο ανάθεμα και τις ευλογίες του λόγου του Θεού και υπάρχουν ακόμα περισσότεροι άνθρωποι που ζουν υπό την κρίση και την παίδευση του λόγου. Αυτός ο λόγος και αυτό το έργο είναι όλα χάριν της σωτηρίας του ανθρώπου, την επίτευξη του θελήματος του Θεού και την αλλαγή της αρχικής εμφάνισης του κόσμου της παλαιάς δημιουργίας. Ο Θεός δημιούργησε τον κόσμο με τον λόγο, οδηγεί τους ανθρώπους σε όλο το σύμπαν με τον λόγο, κατακτά και τους σώζει με τον λόγο. Εν τέλει, θα χρησιμοποιήσει τον λόγο για να θέσει τέλος σε ολόκληρο τον παλαιό κόσμο. Μόνο τότε θα ολοκληρωθεί πλήρως το σχέδιο διαχείρισης. Καθ’ όλη τη διάρκεια της Εποχής της Βασιλείας, ο Θεός χρησιμοποιεί τον λόγο για να επιτελέσει το έργο Του και να επιτύχει τα αποτελέσματα του έργου Του. Δεν κάνει τερατουργίες ούτε κάνει θαύματα. Απλώς επιτελεί το έργο Του μέσω του λόγου. Εξαιτίας του λόγου, ο άνθρωπος τρέφεται και εφοδιάζεται. Εξαιτίας του λόγου, ο άνθρωπος κερδίζει τη γνώση και την αληθινή εμπειρία. Ο άνθρωπος στην Εποχή του Λόγου έχει πράγματι λάβει εξαιρετικές ευλογίες. Ο άνθρωπος δεν υποφέρει από πόνους της σάρκας και απλώς απολαμβάνει την πλούσια προσφορά του λόγου του Θεού. Δεν χρειάζεται να αναζητήσει ή να ταξιδέψει, και βλέπει με άνεση την εμφάνιση του Θεού, Τον ακούει να μιλάει προσωπικά, λαμβάνει την προσφορά Του και να Τον βλέπει προσωπικά να επιτελεί το έργο Του. Ο άνθρωπος στο παρελθόν δεν ήταν σε θέση να τα απολαύσει αυτά, και δεν θα μπορούσε ποτέ να λάβει αυτές τις ευλογίες....»

The Willows at Willow Grove Day Camp is a camp for 3 and 4 year old children. This unique camp experience offers your child an early opportunity to learn and socialize with children their own age.
During the first week of camp, lots of fun was had as the children and counselors got to know each other. “Sun and Surf” was our first week theme. The children really enjoyed decorating their bucket and shovel memo pads during Arts and Crafts. Along with this activity, the Polar Bears and Penguins enthusiastically participated in Nature, Gymnastics, Dance, Tennis and Soccer. We are looking forward to the next seven weeks of fun-filled activities.
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

Monday 30 December 2024: My New Year resolutions for 2025:
1. Do not buy or use any goods or services coming from Israel or their Occupied Palestinian Territories. Boycott Israel - the most racist, fascist, immoral and genocidal apartheid country in the world.
For me, this is a simple operation and will only involve my total boycott of the Israeli online genealogy platforms MyHeritage and Geni. I have no interest in any other consumer product coming out of Israel. But many of you may have heard of Ahava Dead Sea products coming from the Occupied Territories. Don’t buy it, don’t use it.
2. Do not buy or use any American goods or services as far as it is humanly possible today. They only use their income for WAR. The only way to stop this MADNESS is to stop buying and using their goods and services. Money to the USA is money to Israel.
This task is not as simple as boycotting only Israeli goods and products, but I will do my best - just like the USA has done it’s best in supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, providing Israel with weapons and incredible amounts of money, abusing their powers in the UN Security Council, working against international law and justice, supporting apartheid and never ever actually supporting or working to establish a Free Sovereign Palestine.
Israel seems to have become a way for all the corrupt American politicians in their archaic 'democratic' system to get an extra income under the table, directly stealing from the people, and for the American War Industries to thrive and grow; it is a Perpetuum mobile where US politicians donate money to Israel and where Israel in return use those money given to buy off US politicians [tax-deductible] and buying their weapons to slaughter Palestinians.
Americans get their money back [but first, some commercials] [without paying taxes] [under the table] and the Israelis get their fascist religious extremist zionist dreams come true. Incidentally, Israel's bizarre dreams of grandeur are closely linked to the American voters' archaic dreams of extremist christian zionist Eschatology. These people all belong in the Bronze Age.
USA has for so many years since the end of the Cold War been endangering all of Europe’s security by abusing the NATO alliance (this abuse started back in 1999 with the bombing of Yugoslavia!) presiding over a European proxy war with Russia via Ukraine - a war that now even involves North Korea (WTF!) and has killed hundreds of thousands of lives in Europe and flooded Western Europe with refugees once again! It needs to stop, and our own nations and politicians who are hostages to the American gangster regime can do no other - so therefore I can no longer justify MY feeble hard-earned money feeding this warmongering genocidal nation. It has to stop, and the only way I can make a miniscule difference is by boycotting American goods and services.
- First on my list: Mark Zuckerberg (1984) and his his Facebook and all of Facebook's subsidiaries through Meta. Easy. Done. Nothing!
- Second on my list: Larry Page (b. 1973) and Sergey Brin’s (b. 1973) Google and Alphabet Inc. - this is not so easy. This company with their search engine, Gmail and their subsidiary companies like YouTube and Android have infested the whole world. Instead of Google's search engine I have been using DuckDuckGo for years - but this is also an American company so my search will go on for something more safe and European.
As for Gmail, I am using Swiss Proton Mail instead but I have yet to to make the cut final. I hope I will be able to do so during the course of 2025.
As for YouTube, I have no clear alternative right now that is not American.
Android is easy - I never used it. But instead of Android I use Apple - which I feel is safer - but here is the problem - it is an American company. Maybe the solution is to go full-on dumbphone and get a Swiss Punkt. I might in fact do that.
What do you really need an American ‘smartphone’ for anyways? Life is analogue.
More American companies and platforms to boycott:
- Amazon Inc. - I can get most of my (paper) books and other stuff I usually buy on Amazon locally anyways. Amazon is a convenient marketplace, that's true - but it’s American and I’d rather suffer a little inconvenience just to not let the Americans get my money.
- eBay - again, such a great platform and marketplace for (in my case) photographic camera equipment and whatnot - but then again - if I could buy directly from Japanese camera stores with ease and no American involvement I would do so in a heartbeat without using American eBay. Let’s hope the Japanese evolve their international trade in this regard.
As for FILM there's plenty of European film providers; hey, we were first with film and photography anyways and have long traditions still thriving and living here. But I do love Kodak 5222. This is a problem - but at least I only use European chemicals these days. Foma and Tetenal.
- PayPal - also a very convenient platform to use, but goddamned this is the brainchild of Elon Musk (b. 1971) and I’ll do my very best to never support that fascist bastard. You’ll never see me driving an American car either, and certainly not a Tesla. Most unethical car ever.
- Airbnb - an American company that makes it easy to rent a room or a house for anyone in all those illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories - it's just as sick as if American tourists through a 'tourist agency' could come and live in Nazi german confiscated Norwegian flats, houses and cottages to relax or just 'experience' Nazi occupied Norway in 1941. This is exactly what Airbnb is making possible in the Occupied Palestinian Territories these days - and I shall never, ever use Airbnb.
OK, that’s a lot but we’re not finished yet.
- Disney - Easy. They destroyed Star Wars. Done!
- Pepsi and Coca-Cola - Done. Never again. There are many other local alternatives. Easy!
- McDonald’s and Burger King - Done. Easy. Probably the worst hamburgers in the world anyways.
So when it comes to consumer products that you get in the general store, there are two really big and awful companies that I will do my best to never buy their products ever again. These two companies are the American-owned Mondelez International and the Swiss company Nestlé together with all their subsidiaries and brands.
Things not to buy (applicable to me):
- Douwe Egberts coffee (Mondelez)
- Toblerone chocolate (Mondelez)
- Heinz products (Mondelez)
- L’Oréal and ALL their subsidiary products Garnier, Maybelline, Biotherm, Lancôme, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Kérastase, Guy Laroche, Redken (Nestlé)
- Nespresso (Nestlé)
- Nescafé (Nestlé)
- Nesquik (Nestlé)
- Nestea (Nestlé)
- Smarties chocolates (Nestlé)
- After Eight chocolate (Nestlé)
- Maggi products (Nestlé)
- Purina dogfood (Nestlé)
[and Friskies catfood for those of you with cats - also Nestlé]
- Freia chocolate products (Mondelez) [The chocolate that could never ever ever be sold to Sweden otherwise we would lose our independence AGAIN - but which could easily be sold to America instead. Remember all those Edvard Grieg Freia commercials?]
- Friele coffee (Mondelez) in Bergen which also produce ALL the norwegian COOP cooffee products and ALL the swedish Gevalia coffee brand products
- Marabou candy and ALL their chocolate products (Mondelez)
Allright, so already quite an extensive list and that’s not half of it.
Therefore at the end, I want to inform you all about the Boycat app - the Ethical Shopping and Boycott Companion. Use it.
And if you have more suggestions of Israeli and American companies, products and services to boycott, do let me know. I’m eager ears.
PS: I am fully aware that Flickr is American. There are many good things coming out of America. I hope in 2025 USA can change their ways.

Kowloon Park
Hong-Kong
Located in the central zone of Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong, Kowloon Park is one of the largest parks in Kowloon, covering an area of about 13.5 hectares (about 33 acres). It is said to be the 'green lung' at the centre of city.
The park was opened by the then Governor, Sir David Trench on June 24th. In 1989, it was rebuilt, funded by the former Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club at a cost of about HK$300 million.
The park was built in a classical Chinese style, and is visited by many tourists. Flowers and trees are plenty in the park. There is an attractive variety of rarely-seen beautiful birds and flowers.
The park boasts an abundance of scenic spots and enough establishments for tourists to enjoy themselves. The scenic spots mainly include the Maze Garden, Color Garden, Chinese Garden, Roof Gardens, Banyan Court and Bird Lake. And the establishments comprise a mini soccer pitch, the Fitness Trail, Children's Playground, Discovery Playground, Sculpture Walk & Sculpture Garden, a piazza, an aviary, a swimming pool and a sports center. The swimming pool is one of the best equipped in Hong Kong and can hold 1,500 people.
From 07:30 to 09:30 on Fridays, the park provides the activity of watching birds for tourists free of charge. The gathering point is at the arcade of the park. And from 14:30 to 16:30 on Sundays, there are free performances on the Sculpture Walk, including lion/dragon dance and different disciplines of martial arts. Additionally, from 13:00 to 19:00 on Sundays and public holidays, at the loggia of the park exit, there are many stalls selling Chinese traditional handworks, calligraphy and many other souvenirs.
Next to the park is the Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard which imitates the American style. The shops there mainly sell the clothes from the native or abroad, which are very popular with the young people. After shopping, you can go to the park and find a comfortable place for a rest.

Ávila - Navarredonda de Gredos - Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción
www.navarredondadegredos.net/iglesianava.html
Templo del Siglo XVI, es obra del gótico tardío con fábrica de sillería. En el lienzo sur, enlucido, se abre una puerta de arco de medio punto, retraída respecto a un pequeño atrio encuadrado por dos machones y cubierta de doble vertiente.
La cabecera es poligonal, de cinco lados con grandes contrafuertes, típicos del gótico final.
En el lienzo norte, el templo esta unido a una cerca de piedra. Por último, a los pies, en el lado meridional, se yergue la torre-campanario, compuesto por dos cuerpos de sillería y con ocho vanos en el superior. Al campanario se accede por una puerta, desde el exterior de la iglesia, pues la torre es exenta, aunque luego se haya unido a la iglesia mediante un muro que se pretende derribar en la actualidad.
El templo consta de tres naves, marcadas en el exterior. Los formeros, de medio punto, se apoyan sobre grandes columnas tipo toscano. El arco de triunfo, por su parte, apoya sobre semicolumnas de la misma tipología que las columnas de las naves.
El presbiterio se cubre con bóveda gótica de combados, mientras la nave central luce un alfarje nuevo con somera decoración de gramiles en las jácenas, geométrica en los tirantes, canes y arrocabe. Data de los '80 según restauración de Gerardo Luciano; las naves laterales, en cambio, se cubren con armadura de ladrillo encalado y vigas de hierro.
A los pies de la iglesia se alza un coro de madera, sobre tres columnas rústicas tipo jónico. Con remate de balaustrada sobre canes lobulados, la decoración se reduce a motivos geométricos en el frente.
En el extremo derecho del coro se encuentra el baptisterio, cubierto con el alfarje que forma el sotocoro.
Una pequeña puerta abierta en el lado de la epístola, da acceso a la sacristía, cubierta con bóveda muy rebajada.
Por último, una mención a una imposta de madera dorada que recorre el presbiterio a gran altura, con decoración muy barroca del S. XVII.Capítulo aparte son las lápidas que se encuentran en el interior de la iglesia. En el presbiterio se conserva una lápida casi ilegible, en la que aparece un escudo, una pequeña inscripción "ION FDZ CORANZ", y la sol y la luna.
En la nave hay un buen número de lápidas. Dos de ellas son casi idénticas, con el mismo motivo de crátera con ramos, y bajo ellas, una corona, ambas se enmarcan con cinta sogueada.
Una cuarta lápida, también en la nave, presenta una inscripción que dice "ES DE DON JULIO HERNANDEZ CARRETERO Y DE SUS HERMANOS"; bajo esta inscripción aparece el motivo decorativo de una doble voluta.
ESCULTURA
Presbiterio
En el presbiterio, adaptado a la forma poligonal del testero, hay un retablo del siglo XVII, compuesto por dos cuerpos y ático, todo en tres calles, separadas entre sí por pares de columnas corintias, además de las columnas, también entorchadas de los extremos. Los cuerpos se separan mediante bandas de decoración floral tallada policromada.
En el centro del retablo, un tabernáculo en madera dorada, con abundante decoración a base de querubines, alerones, rocallas y pequeñas columnas corintias que enmarcan el Sagrario propiamente dicho. Este luce cristalera entre retícula de madera dorada.
A la izquierda, se sitúa una talla estofada y policromada de La Inmaculada según el tipo iconográfico corriente, le cobija una hornacina avenerada con decoración vegetal y fondo de pintura.
En la calle derecha de este primer cuerpo hay una talla de un santo no identificado.En el segundo cuerpo, en la calle derecha se representa a Sta. Teresa de Jesús con un libro y un águila, en una talla policromada.
En el centro aparece la talla de la Asunción. Representa a la Virgen sobre media luna con los brazos abierto sobre cabezas de querubines.
A la izquierda, San Juan Bautista con sus atributos iconográficos característicos. Y en el ático, Santiago sobre el caballo blanco, el Crucificado rematado por un frontón con el busto del Padre Eterno; y San Miguel de guerrero, matando a un demonio, de derecha a izquierda.
El frontal del retablo es de madera dorada y decorado con el sol, la luna y pájaros que picotean racimos.Junto al altar hay un cirial de madera con base triangular y ástil anillado con nudo de formas vegetales.
NAVE EPISTOLA
En el frontispicio de la nave hay un retablo del siglo XVII, en madera dorada deteriorado. Es de un sólo cuerpo de tres calles y remate a modo de entablamento con roleos policromados en el friso, las columnas que separan las naves son corintias y con el fuste entorchado en el tercio inferior.
En la calle central del retablo, cobijada en una hornacina con fondo de pintura, hay una peana de madera dorada y policromada escalonada, y decorada con angelitos y hojarasca conforme al estilo barroco. El Cristo crucificado que ocuparía esta hornacina se encuentra en la actualidad en el Albergue Aidamar.
Las calles laterales del retablo, muy'estrechas, se decoran con pintura, pero están ocupadas igualmente por tallas de santos, así en la calle derecha se coloca la talla policromada barroca de San Sebastián dirigiendo su mirada hacia el cielo.. Y la calle izquierda luce la talla policromada y estofada de San Blas, también del siglo XVII.
Hay también en esta nave otro retablo, muy pequeño, en madera dorada y policromada del siglo XX. Lo preside la imagen de la Virgen del Carmen, coronada y con Niño, a su izquierda la imagen de Santa Rita, Y Santa Teresita del niño Jesús en la derecha, todas modernas.
Por último dos pilas de agua bendita, ambas en piedra con copa y pedículo circular sin labrar, se sitúan junto a sendos pilares de la nave y tienen uso en la actualidad.
NAVE EVANGELIO
Retablo del siglo XVII compuesto por un cuerpo de tres calles, separadas por columnas corintias, y ático, todo dorado. El ático se enmarca por columnas de capitel corintio y fuste entorchado, y/ se remata con frontón semicircular con relieve de Padre Eterno. Una inscripción en el mueble afirma cómo "SE RETOCO ESTE ALTAR SIENDO CURA EN EL AÑO 1901 ANTONIO DOMINGUEZ".

Adosado al arco de triunfo de la cabecera, en el lado del Evangelio, se levanta un púlpito de piedra al que se accede por una escalera también de piedra con gran balaustrada. El cuerpo presenta tres bandas sogueadas con hendiduras entre ellas, mientras que el pedículo luce sogueado en las aristas y mensulón en la unión con el cuerpo.
PINTURA
NAVE EVANGELIO
El retablo de la Dolorosa de la nave luce siete tablas con pintura. En la parte inferior de la calle lateral derecha, se representa un santo de cuerpo entero dificil de distinguir, con vestimenta dominica y libro abierto en la mano izquierda responde a iconografía de Santo Tomás o Santo Domingo.Sobre esta tabla, otra de menores proporciones en la que se distingue un santo sedente con los brazos extendidos, dificil de identificar por el mal estado de conservación.
En la calle izquierda aparecen otras dos tablas en mejor estado de conservación. En la inferior, y de cuerpo entero, un santo escribiente, con libro abierto en la izquierda y pluma en la derecha, y junto a él arrodillado el donante con típico atavío del siglo XVII. Sobre ésta, otra en la que aparece el busto de un santo, probablemente San Francisco de Asis en el momento de la estigmación.
En el ático aparece una representación de la Sagrada Familia, María hilando, San José y el Niño en el taller de carpintería. A ambos lados de esta última tabla, en el espacio correspondiente a los aletones, hay sendas tablas totalmente perdidas, sólo en la de la derecha se aprecian restos de dos personajes.
El ático del retablo de San Antón se decora con pintura del siglo XVIII representando a María con el Niño. El Hijo bendice con la mano derecha, mientras con la siniestra sostiene un libro cerrado, está dentro de un modelo muy próximo a formas bizantinas de Theotokos, con nimbos luminosos dorados y cenefa dorada en la túnica.
NAVE EPISTOLA
El retablo del frontispicio de esta nave también cuenta con decoración de pintura. La hornacina central recibe pintura sobre tabla con las figuras de San Juan y la Virgen en composición de Calvario, muy deteriorado. Es pintura del siglo XVII se completaría con la talla de Cristo crucificado que hoy se guarda en el Albergue Aidamar.
Las calles laterales de este retablo son muy estrechas, y se decoran cada una de ellas con tres tablas. En la calle derecha, de abajo a arriba, encontramos en mal estado de conservación representación de la Oración en el huerto, el Prendimiento y un Ecce Homo. En la calle izquierda, también de abajo a arriba, se encuentran representados Cristo camino del Calvario y dos Ecce Homos de gran belleza sobre fondo oscuro.
SACRISTIA
Lienzo del siglo XVIII que representa a la Inmaculada. La Virgen aparece con la vestimenta habitual de este tipo iconográfico, blanco y azul, rodeada de querubines de cuerpo entero.

Merecen atención las dos cancelas del templo, en madera tallada a base de casetones cuadrados y rectangulares alternativamente. presentan motivos decorativos de espirales inscritas en círculos o rombos y estrellas.
La otra obra de mobiliario es el confesionario, de madera y con motivos decorativos tallados unos y pintados otros, fundamentalmente vegetales de guirnaldas y capullos abiertos. La puerta tiene su parte inferior de perfil poligonal, mientras la superior forma una celosía con el motivo decorativo de abanico vegetal sobre ella.

Geoffroy normally works with art formats like the EMERGENCY ROOM
to stimulate urgent expression by artist about today 's emergencies
Critcal run is an art format :
www.emergencyrooms.org/formats.html
www.colonel.dk contact : emergencyrooms@gmail.com
Thierry Geoffroy/ Colonel will be exhibiting in the museum Kunsthalle Mannheim from october 2018 part of the exhibition Konstruktion der Welt .Kunst und Ökonomie
Constructing the World: Art and Economy 1919-1939 and 2008-2018
10/12/18 to 02/03/19
Ten years after the peak of the global financial crisis in 2008, which profoundly shook the economic systems of America and Europe and had a lasting effect on present-day life, this topical exhibition is the first to illustrate the economy’s dramatic influence on art and to make global comparisons, demonstrating these in an analysis of two separate eras. Economic phenomena in the classical modernism of the 1920s and 30s are not only explored by focusing on art from the German Weimar Republic, the Soviet Union, and the United States, but also juxtaposed with artists of the present day.
Curatorial team: Dr. Eckhart Gillen (Berlin), Dr. Ulrike Lorenz, Dr. Sebastian Baden
Project Lead: Dr. Inge Herold, Assistence: Lisa Valentina Riedel, M. A. mult., Elisabeth Bohnet, M.A.
How does contemporary art reflect the world of work today? The catalogue for the second part of the exhibition Constructing the World at the Kunsthalle Mannheim takes a look at this question. The focus of it is primarily on artistic positions of the past decade that deal with the social, political, and economic effects of the most recent economic crisis after 2008. The works address and interrogate new production conditions and developments on the labor market as well as political conflicts. The accompanying publication provides fascinating insights into the diverse artistic positions.

Cookstown: Phoenix Chapter No. 34. District 9.
York Rite of Masonry - Oldest Freemason Branch
The symbolic degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason, as conferred in Canada, are degrees of the York Rite.
York Masonry is the oldest and best known of all Masonic Rites.
It takes its name from York, England, where the earliest known record of Masonry exists, dating from about A.D. 923.
Masonry´s first written record is centered around York, the seat of the Ancient York Grand Lodge. In 1813, this Grand Lodge merged with another group called the Modern Grand Lodge, to form the United Grand Lodge of England. This is the basis upon which our present system of Symbolic Lodge Masonry is built.
You, as a Master Mason, have received the first three degrees of the York Rite. Having begun your Masonic work in the York Rite, it is natural that you should want to continue with it.
According to Masonic legend, every man raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason received “substitute secrets”, as the “true secrets” were lost. It may prove a surprise to the average man, believing his work is completed, to be told that the secrets pertaining to the ceremony will not be given to him! This is unfortunate, but the veil is lifted in the degree of the Royal Arch, and in that degree only. Hence, no man actually becomes a Master Mason until he is exalted to that holy order.
Some would have the newly raised Master Mason believe that he can receive the secrets and word in a degree other than the Royal Arch. This is not true, historically or otherwise. The mother Grand Lodge of England was so emphatic regarding the necessity of the Royal Arch degree that many years ago, it set forth this as Paragraph One (1) of its Laws and Regulations:
“By the solemn act of the union between the two Grand Lodges of Freemasons of England in December, 1813, it was declared and pronounced that Pure Ancient Masonry consists of three degrees and no more, viz: those of the Entered Apprentice, the Fellowcraft, and the Master Mason, INCLUDING THE SUPREME ORDER OF THE HOLY ROYAL ARCH.”
On the North American Continent, there are additional degrees in the system, supplementing the work of the Lodge, Chapter, and Council, and the Orders conferred in the Commandery have been arranged into a system or Rite referred to as the American, Canadian, or York Rite of Freemasonry. It is American in structure, as it is a democratic organization in which every member has a voice and a right to be heard.
2. ROYAL ARCH MASONRY
The various local Chapters operate under the jurisdiction of the “Grand Chapter” of Province - Royal Arch Masons of Canada in the Province of Ontario. There is also the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons International. The General Grand Chapter constitutes the largest Masonic Body in the world though it is not recognized by the Province.
The Chapter confers four degrees (Capitular Degrees), giving a complete story of Masonic symbolism, in the following order:
bullet
Mark Master
bullet
Past Master (Virtual) (International not Ontarian)
bullet
Most Excellent Master
bullet
Royal Arch
The Mark Master degree is perhaps the oldest Masonic degree, and is one of the most highly respected. It teaches practical lessons for everyday living. This degree supplements the Fellowcraft Degree.
The Past Master degree teaches the candidate the important duties and responsibilities of the Oriental Chair, and is qualification for advancement.
It is commonly known that the symbolism of Freemasonry surrounds the building of the Temple. In symbolic Free-Masonry, the Temple is never completed. In the Most Excellent Master degree, we are taught the lessons of the completion and dedication of the Temple.
In the degree of the Royal Arch, the epitome of Masonic symbolism is found. It has been said “the Royal Arch is the root, heart and marrow of Masonry, without knowledge of which the Masonic character cannot be complete”.
The Royal Arch degree is the completion of the whole system of Freemasonry. Having begun regular advancement through the Symbolic Lodge, it is the duty of each Master Mason to complete the degree series. He who has sought further Masonic education should return to the Symbolic Lodge, retrace his steps and advance through the Rite until he can receive the climax of Masonic symbolism, as taught in the Royal Arch.
Only those who have attained the Royal Arch may be said to have completed their Masonic Work.
3. CRYPTIC MASONRY
The Councils of Cryptic Masons operate under the jurisdiction of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of each state and most Grand Councils operate under the General Grand Council of the United States. They confer the following three degrees:
bullet
Royal Master
bullet
Select Master
bullet
Super Excellent Master
Without the Royal and Select Master degrees, neither the Master Mason degree nor the Royal Arch degree is complete. These two degrees account for the concealment and preservation of the treasures revealed in the Royal Arch.
The Super Excellent Master is an honorary degree, qualifications for which are fulfilled by virtue of being in good standing in a Council. This degree is the most dramatic and spectacular of all Masonic systems.
4. KNIGHT TEMPLAR MASONRY
Local Commanderies are governed by the Grand Commandery of each jurisdiction.
In the Commandery, the Chivalric Orders of Christian Knighthood are conferred as follows:
bullet
The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross
bullet
The Order of Knight of Malta
bullet
The Order of the Temple
The Illustrious Order of the Red Cross is founded upon Truth – a divine attribute, the foundation of every virtue.
Knights of Malta. First called Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem are known to have been in existence as early as 1099 A.D. It was the first organized body whose avowed purpose was the aid and care of those injured on a battlefield. The teaching of Christian applications of Masonic precepts begins with this Order.
The Order of the Temple is the crowning glory of York Rite Masonry. It is widely regarded as the most solemn and impressive experience in Masonry. Here the aspirant progresses in the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth. At the empty tomb grows a sprig of acacia, teaching that we shall dwell forever in the realms of life and light eternal.
Freemasonry demands only a belief in a monotheistic God, where Hindu, Muslim, Jew and Gentile may together worship around its alters. The Christian Freemason alone has at his disposal a branch of the fraternity where he is free to interpret the teachings of the Symbolic Lodge according to his religious belief. The Masonic Orders of Christian Knighthood are the logical outcome of the Christian Mason´s belief in Christ as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. That Mason believes Christ´s hand will raise the dead to life, and in His Holy Name the True Word is found and restored at last. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.
WHAT DOES YORK RITE MASONRY OFFER?
The noble heritage of York Masonry is yours to take. The regular meetings of the various grades are conducive to firmer relationships and a closer spirit of brotherly love. Being a York Rite Mason does not mean you are elevated to a “higher rank´. It is an educational tool to help you realize the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man in your own life. We trust the foregoing has increased your interest in the York Rite.
York Rite of Masonry - Oldest Freemason Branch
The symbolic degrees of Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, and Master Mason, as conferred in Canada, are degrees of the York Rite.
York Masonry is the oldest and best known of all Masonic Rites.
It takes its name from York, England, where the earliest known record of Masonry exists, dating from about A.D. 923.
Masonry´s first written record is centered around York, the seat of the Ancient York Grand Lodge. In 1813, this Grand Lodge merged with another group called the Modern Grand Lodge, to form the United Grand Lodge of England. This is the basis upon which our present system of Symbolic Lodge Masonry is built.
You, as a Master Mason, have received the first three degrees of the York Rite. Having begun your Masonic work in the York Rite, it is natural that you should want to continue with it.
According to Masonic legend, every man raised to the sublime degree of a Master Mason received “substitute secrets”, as the “true secrets” were lost. It may prove a surprise to the average man, believing his work is completed, to be told that the secrets pertaining to the ceremony will not be given to him! This is unfortunate, but the veil is lifted in the degree of the Royal Arch, and in that degree only. Hence, no man actually becomes a Master Mason until he is exalted to that holy order.
Some would have the newly raised Master Mason believe that he can receive the secrets and word in a degree other than the Royal Arch. This is not true, historically or otherwise. The mother Grand Lodge of England was so emphatic regarding the necessity of the Royal Arch degree that many years ago, it set forth this as Paragraph One (1) of its Laws and Regulations:
“By the solemn act of the union between the two Grand Lodges of Freemasons of England in December, 1813, it was declared and pronounced that Pure Ancient Masonry consists of three degrees and no more, viz: those of the Entered Apprentice, the Fellowcraft, and the Master Mason, INCLUDING THE SUPREME ORDER OF THE HOLY ROYAL ARCH.”
On the North American Continent, there are additional degrees in the system, supplementing the work of the Lodge, Chapter, and Council, and the Orders conferred in the Commandery have been arranged into a system or Rite referred to as the American, Canadian, or York Rite of Freemasonry. It is American in structure, as it is a democratic organization in which every member has a voice and a right to be heard.
Sanctioned by Grand Lodge
The Grand Lodge of York, in 1780, gave its sanction to the working of five separated degrees or orders:
bullet
The Entered Apprentice.
bullet
The Fellowcraft.
bullet
The Master Mason.
bullet
The Royal Arch.
bullet
The Knight Templar.
The United Grand Lodge of England, the Mother of regular and legitimate Freemasonry in the world, set forth at the time of the Union the following: "It is declared and pronounced that pure and Ancient Craft Masonry consists of three degrees and no more, namely, those of Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft and Master Mason, including the Holy Royal Arch.
And that the Grand Lodge might not create any misconstruction of their declaration, it was added:
"This article is not intended to prevent any Lodge or Chapter from holding meetings in any of the degrees of Chivalry, according to the Constitution of said Order."
Thus, the Order of the Temple was given an official place and standing in the structure of Masonry.
During the early and unwritten history of the Masonic Fraternity, there was a strong tone of Christianity which ran throughout the Symbolic structure, but by the time Anderson published his Constitutions, Christianity was virtually taken out of the ritual and Constitutions, because of a great desire to make the fraternity such as might be acceptable to men of any religion who subscribe to a belief in a Supreme Being.
Removal of Christian Symbolism
This was truly unfortunate for those who interpreted the Lodge symbols as Christian doctrines. To deprive Freemasonry of the Ancient Craft of its Christian symbolism in an attempt to make it more universal, was, to them, unmasonic, and characterized as being compared to "removing a Masterpiece of Art from a gallery, or depriving a Crown of its Most Precious Jewel.
And the Christian Freemason sought out an Order which interpreted his Freemasonry in the Light of the New Dispensation.
He ended his search when he entered any asylum of Knights Templar.
It was Dr. William F. Kuhn, the great Masonic thinker, who said: "Freemasonry is not a series of degrees to give those who have the money to purchase them, certain titles and decorations, for even in Freemasonry 'a fool may be a belted Knight', and an Entered Apprentice may have a clearer conception of God and man's relation to Him, than he who wears the insignia of the highest rank. Moral conception does not exist merely in believing but in believing and doing. The Stoics of Rome persuaded themselves to believe that they were of Divine Essence and elaborated a finely spun system of philosophy, but they permitted the poor to lie starving at their doors."
Templars believe in practice; their charities may not be proclaimed from the house tops, but the records of the smallest preceptor of Knights Templar should prove that Charity and Hospitality are yet the grand characteristics of this great Christian Order. Templary realizes that it is hypocritical to profess and teach great platitudes without making an honest effort to practice what is professed. Our governing body (Sovereign Great Priory) administers a substantial fund known as The Knights Templar Charitable Foundation, contributed to by all members and administered without ostentation. This fund originally designed for orphans of deceased Knights Templar is also used for many deserving welfare cases and education of deserving students, including those for the ministry.
What are the Chivalric Orders?
We have referred to the Orders conferred by a Preceptory. In Canada the work of the Preceptory is divided into three parts:
bullet
The Order of the Red Cross.
bullet
The Orders of Mediterranean Pass and Malta.
bullet
The Orders of the Temple.
The Red Cross Order is not, strictly speaking, a Christian Order. Its value in the Templar system is its bridging of the gap between the Royal Arch degree and the Order of the Temple. It is a story founded upon an important period in Hebrew history and stresses Faith in God, the importance of Truth, and the value of Liberty and Justice.
The Order of Malta brings to the novitiate the story of another of the great Chivalric Orders, whose deeds of heroism fill the pages of history, and whose Christian character forms a bright page in religious history.
The most striking degree or Order in Masonry in the opinion of most expert ritualists is the Order of Consecration as set out in the Canadian Work. It is rightly described as the "ne plus ultra" of the Masonic system and is especially appreciated by all Christian Freemasons. We cannot describe its beauty or the impressions which are created in the mind of the Candidate. It must be seen to be appreciated.
Rise up, 0 Men of God
Have done with lesser things
Give Heart and Soul and Mind and Strength
To serve the King of Kings.
Lift high the Cross of Christ
Tread where His feet have trod
As brothers of the Son of Man
Rise up, O Men of God.
To Royal Arch Masonry has been given the WORD. To Knights Templar is given the INTERPRETATION.

Cómo enamorar a una mujer: 10 consejos para lograrlo
10 Consejos de cómo enamorar a una mujer
A muchos hombres se les hace difícil enamorar a una mujer, hablarles, invitarlas a salir y lograr que sean sus novias. Generalmente pasa por el desconocimiento de qué les gusta a las mujeres de un hombre. A continuación les enseñaremos cómo enamorar a una mujer.
#1 Hombre seguro
Despójate de los nervios y trata de estar seguro de ti mismo, demuestra tu carácter, sé un hombre que respeta y que se hace respetar. Tenlo por seguro que ellas preferirán mil veces un hombre con quien sentirse en confianza que tener al frente suyo unos músculos bien definidos.
#2 No mentir nunca
Para una mujer la sinceridad es la cualidad más valiosa que admiran de un hombre. Tampoco debes fingir algo que no eres realmente, muéstrate tal cual. Las mujeres tiene un agudizimo olfato para identificar cuándo un hombre les miente.
#3 Invítala a salir
Toda mujer quedará maravillada si la sorprendes invitándola a salir a un sitio que tú haz escogido, sobre todo si tu tomas el mando de la situación. Llévala a lugares especiales y diferentes así le demostraras con tu esfuerzo lo interesado que estas en ella.
#4 Limpio y bien vestido
Toda mujer se fija hasta en el más mínimo detalle, es importante vestir adecuadamente con una camisa y unos buenos zapatos, además del peinado y la limpieza corporal. Ellas se derriten cuando ven a un chico en camisa.
#5 Hombre de proyectos
Comparte con ella a qué te dedicas y sobre todo qué proyectos tienes para el futuro. Qué aspiraciones tienes tienes en la vida, ello la hará saber que no eres una persona sin metas mi ideales.
#6 No piropos
No caigas en las siempre repetidas frases de amor que se usan comúnmente. No caigas en lo vulgar, si vas a decirle palabras bonitas que salgan corazón, estas deben ser románticas y sutiles. ¡Las tendrás en tus manos!.
#7 Hazla reír
Evita los temas aburridos, hablen de cualquier cosa e identifica qué es lo que le hace reír. Si vez que ella no para de reír, vas por muy buen camino y aunque no lo crees estarás haciendo que ella se enamore de ti.
Cómo enamorar a una mujer: Hazla reír siempre.
#8 Detalles sorpresa
Debes saber que a las mujeres no esperan el regalo más costoso, esperan un detalle hecho por ti mismo en el que hayas invertido tu tiempo y tu cariño en hacerlo. Si es el caso que el presente no es hecho por ti, procura dé en el clavo con lo que a ella le guste, que recuerdes las cosas que le gustan y que dedique tiempo en buscar el adecuado bastará para conquistarla.
#9 Dile lo que sientes
A los hombres por lo general les cuesta decir lo que sienten un “te quiero”, “te amo” o “te extraño”. Dile lo que sientes por ella poco a poco, con tus propias palabras, si te apresuras mucho parecerás desesperado y no queremos eso.
#10 No sexo
Si hay algo que espanta a las mujeres es que en las primeras citas demuestres que quieres tener intimidad con ellas. Pensaran que sólo buscas sexo, las mujeres son muy sensibles respecto a ese tema y opinan que se da en una etapa más avanzada de la relación. ¡Ten mucho cuidado!
Con estos 10 consejos de cómo enamorar a una mujer estas más que preparado para conquistar a cualquier mujer ¡Suerte!

как обшить сайдингом дом sotdel.ru/obshivka-doma-sajdingom.html Советы по строительству дома, #сайдинг #sotdel Обшивка дома сайдингом – ответственный и интересный процесс. С каждой новой панелью облик вашего дома будет быстро меняться. Обшивка дома сайдингом – ответственный и интересный процесс. С каждой новой панелью облик вашего дома будет быстро меняться. Впервые отправляясь в магазин, чтобы выбрать сайдинг для обшивки дома, многие покупатели теряются в выборе. Помимо богатой палитры цветов, их вниманию предлагаются и различные варианты фактур – здесь и «корабельный брус», и «ёлочка», и «блок хаус», и «вертикальный сайдинг». Как выбрать сайдинг? Сайдинг производится из компаунда, основу которого составляет виниловая масса с добавленными в нее пластификаторами, красителями, стабилизаторами цвета и прочими присадками. Рецептура компаунда для внешнего и внутреннего слоя сайдинговой панели различается, поскольку они решают разные задачи. Внешняя сторона панели противостоит выгоранию цвета, шелушению и короблению поверхности, внутренняя отвечает за жесткость материала, устойчивость к перепадам температуры и механическим воздействиям. Две массы компаунда, приготовленные по разным рецептурам, сплавляются методом коэкструзии, таким образом, формируется целостная панель с улучшенными качественными характеристиками внешнего и внутреннего слоя. Если же внутренняя сторона сайдинга светлее наружной – это значит, что производитель в состав компаунда для сайдинга добавил меньше пигмента. Такой сайдинг относится к категории более бюджетных, но при этом может обладать вполне приемлемыми эксплуатационными характеристиками. А вот если панель сайдинга окрашена неравномерно – есть разводы, пятна, отличия в оттенке панелей в рамках одной партии – это однозначно свидетельствует о не самом качественном материале. Чтобы выполнить монтаж блок хауса или других видов сайдинга своими руками, мы рекомендуем внимательно ознакомиться с инструкцией по монтажу, которую вы получите при покупке, а также с видео инструкцией. Следуйте показанным на видео принципам монтажа сайдинга любого вида, включая блок хаус. Если обшиваем сайдингом стены дома или только цоколь или фронтон, то в любом случае придерживаемся основных правил по монтажу этого строительного материала. Существуют различные виды сайдинга, и их монтаж также имеет свои отличия. как обшить сайдингом дом www.sotdel.ru/obshivka-doma-sajdingom.html www.facebook.com/110372909302943/photos/a.228565947483638...

In the United States, wealth is highly concentrated in a relatively few hands. As of 2007, the top 1% of households (the upper class) owned 34.6% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% (the managerial, professional, and small business stratum) had 50.5%, which means that just 20% of the people owned a remarkable 85%, leaving only 15% of the wealth for the bottom 80% (wage and salary workers).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_in_the_United_States
www.999ideas.com/redistribution-of-wealth.html
There's nothing wrong with being wealthy, but how you get there matters. In a fair and free society getting rich does not cause anyone's impoverishment. Historically, we have all benefited from an economy that rewards those who create the most value. . . . The danger of great wealth is that it buys great power, which can be used to take advantage of the poor and middle class. This is what has been happening more and more in recent years. Laws and regulations have been lobbied for and passed which allow the redistribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy.

Breaking Bad Seasons 1-3 DVD Box Set
Breaking Bad Season 3 DVD Box Set
One of several fascinating original series from cable's American Movie Channel, Breaking Bad was produced by Vince Gilligan of X-Files fame. Former Malcolm in the Middle regular Bryan Cranston starred as high school chemistry teacher Walter White, who at age 49 was told that he was suffering from terminal lung cancer--even though he'd never smoked a cigarette in his life. Unable to pay for his medical treatment or provide for the future financial security of his pregnant wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) and his son Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte), the latter a victim of cerebral palsy, Walter began moonlighting at a car wash. When this proved inadequate to make ends meet, Walter entered into a slighly unholy alliance with former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). Using Walter's chemical knowhow, the two partners set up a crystal meth lab, with Walter supplying and Jesse dealing. Now the unfortunate Mr. White found himself straddling two worlds, one legitimate, one definitely not. Adding to Walter's crown of thorns was the omnipresence of his brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris), a DEA agent who'd been trying to bust Jesse for several months--and who of course had to be kept completely in the dark as to Walter's new "sideline." Breaking Bad debuted on January 20, 2008.
MAAM = Museo dell’Altro e dell’Altrove di Metropoliz_città meticcia.
Da streetartattack.blogspot.it/2013/10/district-913-roma.html:
Nato nel 2012, al termine del cantiere cinematografico e d’arte “Space Metropoliz”, il MAAM è un progetto di Giorgio de Finis. Contro-dipositivo situazionista e relazionale, si pone accanto e in concorrenza con le grandi istituzioni museali italiane e della capitale (il MAXXI e il MACRO), facendo della sua perifericità, della sua totale assenza di fondi, della sua non asetticità (il MAAM è un museo abitato) il suo punto di forza. Avviando un nuovo virtuoso rapporto tra arte e città e tra arte e vita, il Metropoliz si sta dotando, grazie al MAAM, di una pelle preziosa e di una collezione che l’aiuteranno a proteggersi dalla minaccia sempre incombente dello sgombero coatto. Il MAAM si prefigge di trasformare l’intera fabbrica occupata in un oggetto e in un soggetto d’arte collettiva. Gli artisti sono invitati a dare il loro contributo gratuitamente, interagendo con lo spazio e con gli abitanti. E non si può dire che non lo stiano facendo.
Oltre i “relitti” di Space Metropoliz (il telescopio di Gian Maria Tosatti, i muri dipinti di Sten & Lex, Lucamaleonte, Mr. Klevra, Hogre, la bandiera di Paolo Assenza, l’orto lunare di Fabio Pennacchia, il grande razzo costruito dagli abitanti della fabbrica occupata con l’aiuto di Stalker), la Pinacoteca Domestica Diffusa, oltre venti opere di arte contemporanea collocate nelle case degli abitanti di Metropoliz e fotografata da Carlo Gianferro, la “Stanza dei Giochi” (intervento site specific per la ludoteca di Metropoliz ad opera di Veronica Montanino e Alice Pasquini), la “Cattedralehouse_room#2” (opere di Cristiano Petrucci, Gianni Asdrubali, Veronica Montanino), il 5 ottobre il MAAM presenterà le nuove acquisizioni e i lavori realizzati nel corso dell’estate.
Le due nuove stanze d’artista, “Windows M” di Maddalena Mauri e ”Where are the flowers gone” di Micaela Lattanzio. L’intervento murario, tutto in polvere di grafite, che Maddalena Mauri realizza per il nuovo spazio galleria di Metropoliz, moltiplica le finestre della grande stanza dove un tempo stagionavano i salami della Fiorucci, invitando il mondo ad entrare. Un auspicio, per la fabbrica occupata, che coincide con il programma di eventi settimanali del nuovo spazio espositivo, uno dei dispositivi che il MAAM ha deciso di attivare per aprire con regolarità il cancello del 913 al quartiere e alla città, riducendo l’effetto enclave che pregiudizio e necessità di difendersi dallo sgombero rischiano di innescare. La porta “a saloon” della galleria che propone un enorme cuore diviso in due è un’opera di Paolo Angelosanto. La stanza di Micaela Lattanzio è invece uno spazio intimo, un invito alla “meditazione”, un’oasi di pace per chi, come il Chaplin di “Tempi moderni”, si trova incastrato ogni giorno nei meccanismi della metropoli (i suoi fiori di carta, oltre seimila, si liberano dagli ingranaggi e volano via…). Un luogo, questa preziosa stanza “fiorita”, che sembra condividere lo spirito delle stanze de Les Nymphéas di Monet all’Orangerie.
“District 913” tira via il telo anche sulla nuova “piazza” realizzata da Massimo Di Giovanni con L.U.N.A. una enorme sfera di ferro e legno che l’artista incastra tra le travi di un tetto crollato, che lo stesso Di Giovanni ha restaurato e messo in sicurezza). L’opera ha voluto rendere un omaggio all’idea della migrazione esoplanetaria alla conquista della luna narrata dalla favola contemporanea “Space Metropoliz” e all’idea che, lavorando tutti insieme, l’Altrove lo si possa alla fine portare sulla Terra. Altre grandi sfere saranno disseminate nella fabbrica da EPVS, a rendere il percorso difficile e claustrofobico (EPVS_ Bubbling 4 you #913# by EPVS).
Molto rilevanti anche i nuovi interventi di street art realizzati a Metropoliz. Dal grande muro d’ingresso sulla via Prenstina, firmato Borondo, e realizzato in collaborazione con la 999 Contemporary, alla meridiana di Rub Kendy (.R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.), allo stencil di Lucamaleonte che riproduce, sulla facciata dell’ex-salumificio che guarda ai recenti scavi archeologici del lotto di fronte, il bassorilievo dei Musei Capitolini raffigurante la caccia al cinghiale. E ancora Alice Pasquini, Solo (con “Plan D, last level”), Diamond (con la porta “Welcome to Metropoliz”), Opiemme (“Questo muro ha un nuovo messaggio”). E ancora Giulio Vesprini, Gio Pistone, Cancelletto, omino71.
Tra le nuove opere acquisite dal MAAM segnaliamo quelle di Pablo Echaurren (“Suburbano disumano”), a cura di ARIA [rivista d’artista], Massimo Attardi (“Lang”, un omaggio all’autore di “Metropolis” che strizza l’occhio anche al gioco “facce di luna” di “Space Metropoliz”), Guendalina Salini (che ripropone in collezione permanente l’installazione “Dove comincia il lontano”), gli interventi murari di Marco Tamburro, Seboo Migone, Paolo Assenza, l’opera di Germano Serafini ”Composizione M”, quella di Michela de Mattei “Metropolitz. Pianoterra / piano, Terra” (a cura di Silvia Litardi), il lightbox di Salvatore Mauro “Pianeta dei Naufraghi”, i nuovi interventi di Santino Drago (”Sangue versato in mostra” e “Asilo politico”).

Deep Space - Hubble Photo

FROM NASA:
Called the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF, the photo was assembled by combining 10 years of NASA Hubble Space Telescope photographs taken of a patch of sky at the center of the original Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The XDF is a small fraction of the angular diameter of the full moon.
The Hubble Ultra Deep Field is an image of a small area of space in the constellation Fornax, created using Hubble Space Telescope data from 2003 and 2004. By collecting faint light over many hours of observation, it revealed thousands of galaxies, both nearby and very distant, making it the deepest image of the universe ever taken at that time.
The new full-color XDF image is even more sensitive, and contains about 5,500 galaxies even within its smaller field of view. The faintest galaxies are one ten-billionth the brightness of what the human eye can see.
This video zooms into the small areas of sky that the Hubble Space Telescope was aimed at to construct the eXtreme Deep Field, or XDF. The region is located in the southern sky, far away from the glare of the Milky Way, the bright plane of our galaxy. In terms of angular size, the field is a fraction the angular diameter of the full moon, yet it contains thousands of galaxies stretching back across time. (Credit: NASA; ESA; and G. Bacon and Z. Levay, STScI)

Magnificent spiral galaxies similar in shape to our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy appear in this image, as do the large, fuzzy red galaxies where the formation of new stars has ceased. These red galaxies are the remnants of dramatic collisions between galaxies and are in their declining years. Peppered across the field are tiny, faint, more distant galaxies that were like the seedlings from which today's magnificent galaxies grew. The history of galaxies -- from soon after the first galaxies were born to the great galaxies of today, like our Milky Way -- is laid out in this one remarkable image.
Hubble pointed at a tiny patch of southern sky in repeat visits (made over the past decade) for a total of 50 days, with a total exposure time of 2 million seconds. More than 2,000 images of the same field were taken with Hubble's two premier cameras: the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3, which extends Hubble's vision into near-infrared light.

This illustration compares the angular size of the XDF field to the angular size of the full moon. A finger held at arm's length would appear to be about twice the width of the moon in this image. Note that this illustration does not show the actual observation of the XDF relative to the location of the moon. (Illustration Credit: NASA; ESA; and Z. Levay, STScI; Moon Image Credit: T.

"The XDF is the deepest image of the sky ever obtained and reveals the faintest and most distant galaxies ever seen. XDF allows us to explore further back in time than ever before", said Garth Illingworth of the University of California at Santa Cruz, principal investigator of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field 2009 (HUDF09) program.

The universe is 13.7 billion years old, and the XDF reveals galaxies that span back 13.2 billion years in time. Most of the galaxies in the XDF are seen when they were young, small, and growing, often violently as they collided and merged together. The early universe was a time of dramatic birth for galaxies containing brilliant blue stars extraordinarily brighter than our sun. The light from those past events is just arriving at Earth now, and so the XDF is a "time tunnel into the distant past." The youngest galaxy found in the XDF existed just 450 million years after the universe's birth in the big bang.
Before Hubble was launched in 1990, astronomers could barely see normal galaxies to 7 billion light-years away, about halfway across the universe. Observations with telescopes on the ground were not able to establish how galaxies formed and evolved in the early universe.
Hubble gave astronomers their first view of the actual forms and shapes of galaxies when they were young. This provided compelling, direct visual evidence that the universe is truly changing as it ages. Like watching individual frames of a motion picture, the Hubble deep surveys reveal the emergence of structure in the infant universe and the subsequent dynamic stages of galaxy evolution.
The infrared vision of NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope will be aimed at the XDF. The Webb telescope will find even fainter galaxies that existed when the universe was just a few hundred million years old. Because of the expansion of the universe, light from the distant past is stretched into longer, infrared wavelengths. The Webb telescope's infrared vision is ideally suited to push the XDF even deeper, into a time when the first stars and galaxies formed and filled the early "dark ages" of the universe with light.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Md., conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., in Washington.

Southern Pacific Railway Post Office #12, Travel Town, Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California
This narrowgauge truck set, cast in Sacramento, CA by Southern Pacific, is one of two designs of 're-gauge-able' trucks on display inside the Travel Town Museum building. The wheels can be detatched from the replaceable axle by four bolts within the inside face, and a new beam can be cut from wood for the bolster support and kingpin. The sliding bearings on the end of each axle predated roller or ball bearings, and could generate a great deal of heat from friction. Hopefully the grease packed under the hinged covers was warm enough to liquify and penetrate the bearing gap. One of the primary reasons a caboose had bay windows or a coupula above, and it's placement at the end of the train, was to keep a vigilant watch for the "hotbox" - an improperly lubricated bearing would cause excessive wear, or start a fire!
Notice that there are no springs in this design, any spring action is from the steel and wood supports.
The axles and crossblocks on this Southern Pacific Railway Post Office #12 bogie truck are fabricated of wood a design to facilitate re-gauging this 3' narrow-gauge truck to standard gauge 4'8½". The trucks are unsprung, which is to say the design does not incorporate springs, and there is a very narrow bolster around the kingpin. So, in addition to feeling every gap in the uneven and wavy rail, swaying and rocking was magnified at speeds above 12 miles per hour - working to precisely sort mail along the route was a very uncomfortable occupation.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY POST OFFICE #12
BUILT: c.1880 BY CARTER BROTHERS
WEIGHT: 13 TONS
LENGTH: 43'
DONATED: 1960 BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
This pre-20th Century, wooden car was put to a variety of uses by its owners: caboose, baggage car, railway postal car, and most notably, a baggage-mail combination. Mail transportation by rail had existed as long as the railroads themselves. In Britain, mail was already being sorted within rail cars in the late 1830's. This practice was imitated on a few American railroads, but came into widespread use only after the Civil War. Perhaps no more efficient mail system could have existed than that of the railway postal system. Both local and long-distance trains included a car equipped with pigeonholes, sorting bags and tables, cancellation stamps, and one or more frenzied clerks trying to sort a bag of mail picked up at one station, before arriving at the next station each would be only ten or twenty minutes down the road. Early in their history, these railway postal cars (RPO's) shared space with express baggage service. Later, as the system grew more elaborate, entire 60- or 80-foot RPO cars were specially built for that purpose, and resembled small versions of a post office.
As with other aspects of railroading, RPO cars and their clerks have a lore all their own. The metal arms which swung out from the side of the car to catch a hanging mail bag when the train was not scheduled to stop at a station are collectors items, as are any existing cancellation stamps. Clerks carried guns for protection against outlaws wanting to steal the mail. In the first decades, clerks worked on cars furnished either with fire-causing wood stoves or without any heat at all. Doors could not be left open for security reasons, so the cars were barely ventilated in the summer heat. If they
had toilet facilities at all, they were crude and rarely private. Sometimes a lone clerk, sometimes a handful of men tripping over and stepping on each other, slaved at sorting and canceling mail, catching a new bag every twenty minutes, and simultaneously kicking off a bag sorted for that stop.
By the 1960's, railway mail, like railway passenger service and some railway freight service, was failing in favor of air transport of mail. The last RPO ran between Washington D. C. and New York in June 30, 1977.

Persecución Religiosa: Interrogatorio en clase
Era un día soleado, y en el aula resonó la voz alta de la docente china. Boqian y sus compañeros de clase escuchaban a la maestra con atención. De repente, se abrió la puerta y entró el subdirector de la sección educativa. Le susurró algo al maestro chino, luego el profesor chino dejó de dar una conferencia y se hizo a un lado. El subdirector tomó el puntero, golpeó dos veces en la pizarra y luego preguntó con voz severa: "¡Todos! ¿Hay algún creyente de Dios en tu familia"? Los estudiantes negaron con la cabeza y respondieron: "No". Boqian, que se estaba sentado en el medio de la tercera fila, comentó ligeramente, que sus padres eran creyentes en Dios. Recordó que su madre una vez le había dicho, "China es un estado autoritario sin libertad religiosa. El PCCh no permite que las personas adoren al Dios verdadero, sino que se resisten fanáticamente a Él y a Su obra. Los creyentes en China corren el peligro de ser arrestados en cualquier momento o lugar y sufrir la cruel persecución del PCCh". Boqian sabía que nunca les diría a los maestros que él y sus padres creían en Dios, de lo contrario las consecuencias serían inimaginables.
El subdirector parecía insatisfecho con las respuestas de los estudiantes, y luego sacó del bolsillo un reproductor MP5 negro, lo levantó y les dijo a los estudiantes: "¿Quién ha visto alguna vez a un jugador así? ¿De quién es la familia que tiene ese jugador"? Muchos estudiantes se miraron el uno al otro y no sabían qué tenía que ver el reproductor del MP5 con la investigación de si había algún creyente en sus familias. Pero Boqian sabía claramente en su corazón que los hermanos y hermanas de la iglesia, incluyendo a sus padres, solían usar este tipo de reproductor para leer la palabra de Dios, escuchar himnos y ver películas del evangelio, pero no se atrevió a decir una palabra. Temió que le daría algo a la maestra. Luego, el subdirector miró a cada estudiante y dijo con dureza: "Quien sea que hable es un buen estudiante y será citado. Si descubro que alguien sabía algo y no lo dice, será disciplinado y nunca podrá graduarse sin problemas". Después de escuchar eso, Boqian se sintió nervioso nuevamente. Una vez más, pensó en las palabras de su madre: "El gobierno del PCCh está lleno de astutos trucos. Instalan cámaras en las calles para monitorear a los creyentes; además, van de puerta en puerta realizando inspecciones para buscar a los creyentes a fin de verificar las tarjetas de residencia, y también utilizan unidades de trabajo y escuelas para investigar si hay algún creyente en la familia de alguien. Una vez que encuentran a un creyente de Dios, lo arrestarán y perseguirán, y sus incrédulos miembros de la familia se verán implicados y perderán sus trabajos, y sus hijos perderán las oportunidades de seguir estudiando. El gobierno del PCCh realiza investigaciones tan fanáticamente solo por el deseo delirante de capturar a todos los cristianos y establecer un país sin Dios en China". Boqian sabía que la razón por la que el líder de la escuela actuó de esa manera ese día fue porque ellos eran dirigidos por el PCCh. Para encontrar a los creyentes de Dios, obligaron a los estudiantes a hablar sobre si había creyentes en sus familias a través de engaños y amenazas. El PCCh fue de hecho demasiado insidioso y malvado. Pensando en eso, Boqian se dio cuenta de que el truco de Satanás se escondía detrás de este acontecimiento. Si él era tímido y temeroso, los maestros verían los agujeros, lo que pondría en peligro a su familia y a los hermanos y hermanas. Decidió que, en cualquier caso, no vendería a sus hermanos y hermanas, y mucho menos traicionaría a Dios, y que oraría a Dios y confiaría en Él para vencer la tentación repentina de Satanás.

www.decorobra.com/techos-verdes-decorativos-y-ecologicos....
Los techos verdes son techos con vegetación, plantas que viven en ellos. Podemos encontrar dos tipos de techos verdes, los intensivos y los extensivos. Para los primeros se necesita una capa de tierra de aproximadamente 30 centímetros y es necesario que la construcción tenga elementos estructurales muy fuertes para soportar el peso de estos techos ecológicos. Los techos verdes intensivos pueden tener una gran variedad de plantas y son muy atractivos pero generalmente requieren de mucho mantenimiento. Debido a esto, son menos comunes que los techos verdes extensivos.
Para los techos verdes extensivos sólo se necesita 7un capa de entre 5 y 10 centímetros de espesor pero es más limitada la variedad de plantas que pueden alojar. En los últimos 50 años han sido muy usados y desarrollados en Europa, y en los últimos tiempos han empezado a implementarse en Latinoamérica.
Los techos verdes tienen muchas ventajas. Principalmente protegen los techos de los rayos solares, los cuales suelen causar grietas en los materiales. Además mantienen el techo más fresco lo cual reduce el efecto de calentamiento, contribuyendo a que las ciudades no estén cada año más calientes. Como consecuencia reduce el consumo energético, ya que no será tan necesaria la utilización de electrodomésticos tales como aires acondicionados, etc.
Los techos verdes extensivos tienen una capa de semillas generalmente de pasto. Poseen plantas de poca raíz y no muy tolerantes al exceso de agua. Al presenta una capa de tierra muy fina, permite la propagación de plantas silvestres, ya que no pueden vivir en ese medio, en cierta forma, árido. Debajo de la capa de tierra se encuentran varias capas más. La primera es una capa de drenaje, la cual permite que el agua se mueva libremente fuera del techo, y por último, una capa de barrera que impide el paso del agua hacia el techo.
Desde el punto de vista de la estética, los techos verdes poseen un aspecto por demás agradable y natural, que brinda a las construcciones un aire natural y fresco. Si usted está pensando en poner un techo en su casa, le recomendamos hacer las averiguaciones previas, para saber si la estructura de su vivienda lo resistirá.

Author of the World Theatre Day Message 2009
Augusto Boal - Message 2009
"All human societies are “spectacular*” in their daily life and produce “spectacles” at special moments. They are “spectacular” as a form of social organization and produce “spectacles” like the one you have come to see.
Even if one is unaware of it, human relationships are structured in a theatrical way. The use of space, body language, choice of words and voice modulation, the confrontation of ideas and passions, everything that we demonstrate on the stage, we live in our lives. We are theatre!
Weddings and funerals are “spectacles”, but so, also, are daily rituals so familiar that we are not conscious of this. Occasions of pomp and circumstance, but also the morning coffee, the exchanged good-mornings, timid love and storms of passion, a senate session or a diplomatic meeting - all is theatre.
One of the main functions of our art is to make people sensitive to the “spectacles” of daily life in which the actors are their own spectators, performances in which the stage and the stalls coincide. We are all artists. By doing theatre, we learn to see what is obvious but what we usually can’t see because we are only used to looking at it. What is familiar to us becomes unseen: doing theatre throws light on the stage of daily life.
Last September, we were surprised by a theatrical revelation: we, who thought that we were living in a safe world, despite wars, genocide, slaughter and torture which certainly exist, but far from us in remote and wild places. We, who were living in security with our money invested in some respectable bank or in some honest trader’s hands in the stock exchange were told that this money did not exist, that it was virtual, a fictitious invention by some economists who were not fictitious at all and neither reliable nor respectable. Everything was just bad theatre, a dark plot in which a few people won a lot and many people lost all. Some politicians from rich countries held secret meetings in which they found some magic solutions. And we, the victims of their decisions, have remained spectators in the last row of the balcony.
Twenty years ago, I staged Racine’s Phèdre in Rio de Janeiro. The stage setting was poor: cow skins on the ground, bamboos around. Before each presentation, I used to say to my actors: “The fiction we created day by day is over. When you cross those bamboos, none of you will have the right to lie. Theatre is the Hidden Truth”.
When we look beyond appearances, we see oppressors and oppressed people, in all societies, ethnic groups, genders, social classes and casts; we see an unfair and cruel world. We have to create another world because we know it is possible. But it is up to us to build this other world with our hands and by acting on the stage and in our own life.
Participate in the “spectacle” which is about to begin and once you are back home, with your friends act your own plays and look at what you were never able to see: that which is obvious. Theatre is not just an event; it is a way of life!
We are all actors: being a citizen is not living in society, it is changing it."
Augusto Boal

So, here it is, the reason I drove across Norfolk: Trunch in all it's glory And it is glorious.
It has so many fascinating details, each one alone would be reason enough to visit, but together, in a fine village, next to the village pub, and with that font canopy, one of only four such in all of England, and one of two in the county.
-------------------------------------------
The oldest building in Trunch is St. Botolph's Church. It is mainly 14th. and 15th. Century but there are some fragments of stone in the walls which are believed to have been reused from an earlier Saxon church, which was recorded in the Domesday Book. There is much of interest in the church including a Rood Screen, a hammer beam roof and a rare Font Canopy.

--------------------------------------------
The large village of Trunch is located about 5 miles from the north Norfolk coast. In the centre of the village, surrounded by a lovely collection of cottages and the more modern Crossroads Inn, is St Botolph's church. Much of what you see of the church is early 15th century, built upon earlier foundations.
Upon entering the church the first feature you will see is the font, which dates to the mid 14th century. Though the font is attractive, it is the carved and painted font canopy that really makes a visit to Trunch worthwhile.
This is a quite remarkable piece of woodwork, one of only four such canopies surviving in the entire country (the others are at St Peter Mancroft in Norwich, Durham Cathedral, and Luton). The canopy is supported on six beautifully carved legs. The carving detail is exquisite; with fanciful animal figures and foliage and a bit of political commentary, in the shape of a pig wearing a bishop's mitre.
In addition to the font canopy, Trunch features a superb 15th century hammer beam roof, a feature of many churches in Norfolk and Suffolk. Here the carvings of angels are beautifully performed. It is worth bringing along a pair of binoculars or a telescope in order to see the carvings properly.
Much easier to see are the medieval misericords (mercy seats) in the chancel. Each carving is unique; some represent angels, and others are more grotesque in nature. In addition there are some beautifully carved pew ends and a painted medieval rood screen that rivals many more famous churches in detail and colour.
There are 12 niches in the screen, each painted with a depiction of a single figure - 11 disciples plus St Paul. Much of the costume detail is well preserved, but the faces of the figures were destroyed during the upheavals of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century.

William Earl Warren had the lordship of this town, (fn. 1) of which 3 freemen were deprived; one of them belonged to Herold, late King of England, another to Ralph Stalre, and the 3d to Ketel, who held 90 acres of land, and 14 borderers belonged to it, with 5 carucates among them; there was a church endowed with 10 acres, &c. 3 acres of meadow always valued at 30s. and there were also 5 freemen of Edric in King Edward's time, who had 34 acres of land, with 2 carucates, 2 acres and an half of meadow, always valued at 7s. 4d. (fn. 2)
This town also belonged to the Earl Warren's capital manor of Gimmingham, and paid suit and service to it. In the 34th of Henry III. Maud de Norwich granted by fine, to Richer, son of Nicholas, a messuage, 48 acres of land, a mill, and the sixth part of another in this town, Swathefeld and Bradfeld. In the 15th of Edward I. the Earl Warren claimed a weekly mercate, on Saturday, in this manor; and on the death of John Earl Warren, in the 21st of Edward III. the mercate was valued at 10s. per ann. the manor came after to the Earl of Lancaster, (as is before observed,) and so to John of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster, and King Henry IV. and is still in the Crown, as part of the dutchy of Lancaster.
The tenths were 4l. 10s. deducted 15s.
The Church is dedicated to St. Botolph, and is a regular pile, with a nave, 2 isles, and a chancel covered with lead, and has a tower with 4 bells.
In the chancel, on a little monument,

¶The patronage of the church was granted to the priory of Castleacre, by William Earl Warren, the first on his founding that priory. In the reign of Edward I. the rector had a manse, and 13 acres of land valued at 16 marks, Peter-pence 13d. and the prior of Castleacre had a pension or portion of tithe valued at 40s. the present valor is 10l. 13s. 4d. and pays first fruits, &c. the Norwich registers say that William, the second Earl Warren, granted the patronage, and Eborard Bishop of Norwich, confirmed it; and that Simon the Bishop confirmed the pension in 1268.

-----------------------------------------
Trunch is the largest of the villages between North Walsham and the sea; but as all the industrialisation and tawdry caravan sites are hard against the coast, and Trunch is several miles inland, it has avoided these excesses and retains a great rural charm. It has a magnificent church with lots of fascinating treasures, as well as a shop, a green, a pub run by an ex-professional footballer, and generally all the typical features you expect to find in a large village in deepest rural Norfolk.
The church is perhaps the most interesting of all round about; and, while the large village lends it an urban quality that lacks the charm of, say, the churches of neighbouring Edingthorpe and Crostwight, it has by no means the Victorianised sterility of those at Bacton or Happisburgh.
St Botolph is a big church, and its tight graveyard makes it rather hard to photograph. The whole piece seems to have been rebuilt in the early 15th century, although the chancel may be a little later, and there is a hint of Decorated about the nave. The tower is quite simple, even slight. It builds boldly enough, but at the top of the second stage fades into a simple bell stage, understated, elegant and probably intended. This is not a building that shouts at you. A curiosity is the massive priest porch surrounding the door in the chancel. These are very unusual, although there is another, smaller one at neighbouring Knapton.
The great treasure, of course, is the marvellous font canopy. It is particularly fascinating because of its date, coming in the early 16th century right on the eve of the English protestant reformation. Like all church furnishings at this time - the tombs at Oxborough, for instance - it gives us a hint of what the English renaissance might have been like if it had been allowed to flower. Here, the massive structure tumbles with intricacy; fruit and flowers, leopards and lions peep around the silvery oak of the six octagonal columns which are fluted with interlocking chains of detail. The glory is the massive crown of canopied niches, with the haunting ghosts of crucifixion groups still apparent on three of the faces. The whole thing is at once in perfect harmony with the west end of the church, but exists because it was believed to be beautiful rather than known to be useful.There is only one other font canopy in Norfolk, at St Peter Mancroft in Norwich; Outside of the county there is another at Durham Cathedral, and a fourth at the parish church in Luton - but that is it.
Above the canopy is a rich 15th century hammerbeam roof, by no means as dramatic as that at nearby Knapton, but more beautiful, I think. In the space beneath the tower there is what appears to be a gallery like the plough guild gallery at Cawston. This is not as elaborate, but its oak has silvered and it is painted beautifully with trailing rose foliage.
The benching, unfortunately, is pretty much all 19th century, but along with the font canopy and roof the medieval screen survives. Like the canopy, this is richly ornamented in relief, including a bold dedicatory inscription in diagonal ribbons across the top part of the dado. The twelve figures (11 disciples and St Paul) are boldly placed and coloured, but their faces have been completely vandalised by the 16th century reformers. Low down on the north side of the doorway is a rare surviving carved consecration cross, suggesting that this screen was already installed in the newly built church of the 15th century. The screen had detached buttressing running vertically at intervals in front of it, as at Ludham. They have been almost entirely destroyed, but you can still see the fixings between the panels. It must have been magnificent.
The return stalls in the chancel are pretty much all Victorian, but they retain medieval misericords, and also you can see quatrefoil holes set into a sounding chamber to amplify the singing. There is a very curious memorial above the priest door, featuring the instruments of the passion. I have no idea how old it is.
All of these features would be enough, but part of the attraction of St Botolph is the sense of harmony, the way everything works together. You can add to these the sedilia, the magnificent organ, and the modern design of the glass in the east window. It is a peaceful, inspiring space.
Cottages and houses hem in the graveyard, and in the corner is the modern pub. Incidentally, I don't really know if the bloke who runs it is an ex-professional footballer. But, like many rural Norfolk landlords, he seems to be a cheerful 40-something cockney who serves a decent pint and cheap food - a recommended stop for churchcrawlers.

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes
Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

Le documentaire explique par exemple la manière dont a été réalisée la reconstruction de Saint-Malo à l'intérieur des rempart de la vieille ville : "c'est la fidélité à l'histoire et la force du souvenir qui a guidé l'architecte". Dans le même esprit à Gien, au trois quart détruite en 1940, seul le château construit en 1494 pour Anne de Beaujeu, fille aînée de Louis XI, fut épargné par les bombardements. La ville fut reconstruite dans le style des rares immeubles restant. Gien est relevé de ses ruines et le nouvel ensemble harmonieux est appelé « Joyau de la Reconstruction française ».

Pelosi's provocative Taiwan visit sparks sharp criticism
Videos from around the world criticizing Pelosi's taunting visit to Taiwan, destablizing the region..
thehill.com/homenews/administration/3592512-biden-says-he...
Biden says he’s ‘not worried’ about China’s response to Pelosi visit to Taiwan
President Biden on Monday said he’s “not worried” about China’s aggressive response to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) trip last week to Taiwan, adding that he doesn’t think things will escalate any further between the U.S. and Beijing.
“I’m not worried, but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are. But I don’t think they’re going to do anything more,” Biden told reporters.
When asked if Pelosi’s trip was a mistake, the president said, “That was her decision.”
The Biden administration has condemned Beijing’s live-fire drills in the waters surrounding Taiwan, which included multiple Chinese warships and aircraft crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait, following Pelosi’s visit.
“They are provocative, irresponsible, and raise the risk of miscalculation, that’s what the president was referring to,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday, referring to China’s response.
“They are also at odd with our longstanding goal of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan strait, which is what the world expects,” she added.
Pelosi’s visit to Taipei last week made her the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the island in 25 years. The Chinese foreign ministry characterized her visit as having a “severe impact on the political foundation of China-U.S. relations.”
Since she landed, the White House has said it respects Pelosi’s decision to visit Taiwan and has pushed back on questions about any drama between the Speaker’s office and the White House surrounding her trip.
Biden told reporters last month that the military “thinks it’s not a good idea” for Pelosi to visit Taiwan amid already rising tensions over the island’s status and the administration urging China not to back Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Before landing, White House national security spokesman John Kirby warned China against using the moment to create a “crisis” and then said on Tuesday that Beijing’s actions in response to her visit were “consistent with the playbook we expected them to run.”

One-China principle clearly violated by trip
It's natural for China to feel angry and oppose the recent visit to Taiwan by United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, because the trip openly violates the one-China principle and challenges China's territorial integrity and sovereignty, experts said while explaining China's reaction and the severe countermeasures it has taken.
It's clear that the two sides of the Taiwan Straits are the same country, and the Taiwan question, which is purely China's internal affair, brooks no interference by foreign forces, they said.
Traveling in a military aircraft, Pelosi－second in the line of succession to the US president－last week paid a high-profile "official visit to Taiwan", as her office described it in her arrival statement, and was given full protocol treatment by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities, which make no secret of pursuing "independence" in their party platform.
Pelosi's two-day trip included meeting with the island's leader Tsai Ing-wen and some "human rights" advocates, as well as visiting the island's "legislative "authority.
Hundreds of millions of Chinese watched, discussed and were outraged by the provocative trip that was also followed by unprecedented countermeasures by the Chinese government, including canceling three cooperative dialogues or meetings with the defense authorities of the US, suspending climate talks, and conducting live-fire drills surrounding the Taiwan island.
Bao Chengke, assistant director at the Institute for East Asian Studies in Shanghai, said that the visit has trampled on the one-China principle and China's national sovereignty, and was a move that in nature promoted the concept of "one China, one Taiwan".
To the Chinese side, the one-China principle is a bottom line that cannot be crossed. It has been reiterated numerous times by the Chinese government, and is firmly believed by the Chinese people, that the island of Taiwan has been an inseparable part of China's territory for 1,800 years and it's crystal clear that the two sides of the Straits belong to one China.
It was even worse that Pelosi turned a deaf ear to repeated warnings from the Chinese government and still made the trip, Bao said, adding that when something like this happens, it's reasonable for any country to feel angry and take severe countermeasures.
Lin Kuan-ting, a young man from Taiwan who is studying on the mainland, said he opposes the visit and the US should not interfere in the Taiwan question as the island has always been a part of China. Another Taiwan student on main-land, Lin Pei-ying, said the visit seriously hurt the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the Straits, and the contradictions between the two sides are purely our family matters.
Root of the Taiwan question
As Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has said, the Taiwan question arose out of the weakness and chaos of the nation and will be resolved as national rejuvenation becomes a reality.
In 1894, Japan launched the First Sino-Japanese War to invade China. In the following year, the government of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) was forced to cede Taiwan to Japan under the unequal Treaty of Shimonoseki.
In 1945, the Chinese people won the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-1945). Taiwan was thus recovered and returned to the motherland.
In 1943, the leaders of China, the US and Britain issued the Cairo Declaration, which clearly states that all territories Japan stole from the Chinese, including Taiwan, shall be restored to China. The Potsdam Declaration of 1945 affirmed that the terms of the Cairo Declaration would be carried out. Thus, Taiwan's legal status as a part of China was irrefutably confirmed.
It was not long, however, before the two sides of the Straits fell into a special state of protracted political confrontation due to civil war in China and the interference of foreign forces.
In 1949, the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established, replacing the Republic of China government as the sole legal government representing the whole of China. It is logical for the government of the People's Republic of China to exercise sovereignty over China, which includes Taiwan.
In 1971, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 with an overwhelming majority vote, restoring all rights of the PRC and recognizing the government of the PRC as the sole legitimate representative of China to the United Nations.
The one-China principle is a widely recognized basic norm of international relations. More than 180 countries have to date established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of their recognition of the one-China principle, according to official records.
When China and the US established diplomatic relations in 1979, the US recognized in the joint communique with China that the government of the PRC is the sole legal government of China. Since then, the US has long been committed to not developing official relations with Taiwan.
"The one-China principle is part of the postwar international order and has become a general international consensus. As a country that thinks of itself as a champion of the 'rules-based international order', the United States should naturally abide by the one-China principle," Chinese Ambassador to the US Qin Gang wrote in an article in The Washington Post on Thursday.
"President Biden has said many times that the United States will not change its one-China policy and does not support 'Taiwan independence'. But for the 'Taiwan independence' forces, Pelosi's visit represents an exceptionally strong signal that 'the US is on Taiwan's side'. This goes against the one-China principle, the three Sino-US joint communiques and America's own commitments," the article said.
Wu Yongping, director of the Institute of Taiwan Studies at Tsinghua University, said that US support for "Taiwan independence "separatists is a fundamental reason why the Taiwan question is so difficult to resolve.
The US has tried to obscure and hollow out the one-China principle, Wu said, adding that it has colluded with "Taiwan independence" forces on the island and elevated relations with the island in various ways, including arms sales.
After the DPP came to power in Taiwan, it refused to recognize the 1992 Consensus which embodies the one-China principle, creating an increasingly tense and confrontational atmosphere across the Straits, according to Bao from the Institute for East Asian Studies.
Common will
Despite the complex situation, experts believe that the two sides of the Straits must be reunified in the future, which is also the will of the entire Chinese nation.
The mainland has great patience in dealing with the Taiwan question, and it has been working to promote integrated development and cooperation between people across the Straits in order to gradually overcome the resentment and differences and find the path of future reunification, Bao said.
Wu said the mainland's ability to resolve the Taiwan question has been increasing as well, which could been seen in the recent countermeasures, and no other forces should underestimate such ability and China's determination to safeguard its sovereignty and unity.

Islamic Cairo, 2001
members.chello.nl/zkosc/islamic%20cairo.html
Islamic Cairo is a very old area, surrounded by walls dating from the middle-ages, and was once the cultural, religious and intellectual center of the entire Arab world. Monumental buildings, palaces, many famous mosques and madrasas (religious schools), numerous markets and the oldest university in the world (al-Azhar) still stand witness to a glorious past. But, in the twentieth century Egypt has become a poor third world country and at present Islamic Cairo has fallen into decline, it is full of ruins and has degraded into a living and working neighborhood for the very poorest. The entire neighborhood has become a big bazaar, a labyrinth of dirty, stinking and dusty streets, with thousands of old-fashioned workshops where many crafts are still practiced at a very high level. Two million people live close by in what used to be the burial ground for the very rich: the City of the Dead. Entire families have taken possession of old sepulchers. Surrounding it are schools and stores, the center of an extremely lively social life.
The lot of the inhabitants is not just poverty; religion is also very important to them, namely the Sunni Islam. Daily life is interrupted five times a day by the call from the mosques that is heard everywhere and the people go to pray to Allah. The visitor can experience: the ramadan (a period of fasting), the hadj (a pilgrimage to Mecca), and exuberant weddings and funerals one after the other. Islamic Cairo is grandeur and decline, work and poverty, religion and tradition in confrontation with the modern world, as a great stage where everything takes place in an eternal scenario.
The series of black and white panoramic photographs - made in the period 1986-2001 - has been made with support of the Foundation Found for Visual Art, Design and Architecture (Amsterdam) and Agfa Gevaert (Leverkussen). Some of the work has been on show before at the Amsterdam Center of Photography (1996), Berlage Institute (1998), SBK Gallery Amsterdam (1998) The International Institute of Social History Amsterdam (2000), the Noorderlicht NAZAR exhibitions in Leeuwarden, Prague, Stuttgart and Berlin (2004-6) and EWerk Freiburg (2006)
Shorebirds of Ireland and Freshwater Birds of Ireland with Jim Wilson.
www.markcarmodyphotography.com
The Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), also called by a wide variety of other names, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
The name chaffinch comes from Old English ceaffinc, literally "chaff finch", and is the source of the nickname chaffy or chaffie. This bird is widespread and very familiar throughout Europe. It is the most common finch in western Europe, and the second most common bird in the British Isles. Its range extends into western Asia, northwestern Africa, and Macaronesia, where it has many distinctive island forms. In the Canary Islands of Tenerife and Gran Canaria, the Common Chaffinch has colonised twice, giving rise to the endemic species known as the Blue Chaffinch and a distinctive subspecies. In each of the Azores, in Madeira, and in the rest of the Canaries there is a single species on each island. (wikipedia)
The background here was formed by the autumn leaves of the trees. This is a male bird. WIth thanks to Colin for allowing us access to this fabulous garden.
Η αληθινή ιστορία πίσω από το έργο στην Εποχή της Λύτρωσης
Ολόκληρο το σχέδιο της διαχείρισής Μου, ένα σχέδιο που εκτείνεται σε διάστημα έξι χιλιάδων ετών, αποτελείται από τρία στάδια ή τρεις εποχές: στην αρχή η Εποχή του Νόμου, η Εποχή της Χάριτος (που είναι επίσης και η Εποχή της Λύτρωσης) και τις έσχατες ημέρες η Εποχή της Βασιλείας. Το έργο Μου στις τρεις αυτές εποχές διαφέρει σε περιεχόμενο σύμφωνα με την φύση της κάθε εποχής, αλλά σε κάθε στάδιο είναι σε συμφωνία με τις ανάγκες του ανθρώπου – ή, για να είμαστε πιο ακριβείς, γίνεται σύμφωνα με τα κόλπα που ο Σατανάς εφαρμόζει στον πόλεμο που διεξάγω εναντίον του. Ο σκοπός του έργου Μου είναι να νικήσω τον Σατανά, να εκδηλώσω την σοφία Μου και την παντοδυναμία Μου, να αποκαλύψω όλα τα κόλπα του Σατανά και μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο να σώσω ολόκληρο το ανθρώπινο γένος το οποίο ζει υπό τη σφαίρα επιρροής του. Είναι για να δείξω τη σοφία Μου και την παντοδυναμία Μου ενώ ταυτόχρονα ν’ αποκαλύψω την αβάσταχτη αποκρουστικότητα του Σατανά. Ακόμη περισσότερο είναι για να διδάξω στα πλάσματά Μου να διακρίνουν μεταξύ του καλού και του κακού, να γνωρίζουν ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κυβερνήτης όλων των πραγμάτων, να δουν ξεκάθαρα ότι ο Σατανάς είναι εχθρός της ανθρωπότητας, ο πιο χαμηλός των χαμηλών, ο σατανικός, και να διακρίνουν με απόλυτη βεβαιότητα τη διαφορά μεταξύ καλού και κακού, αλήθειας και ψεύδους, αγιότητας και βρομιάς και τι είναι σημαντικό και τι ποταπό. Μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο, η αδαής ανθρωπότητα θα μπορεί να γίνει μάρτυρας για Μένα, ότι δεν είμαι εγώ που διαφθείρω την ανθρωπότητα και μόνο εγώ – ο Κύριος της δημιουργίας – μπορώ να σώσω την ανθρωπότητα, μπορώ να δώσω στον άνθρωπο πράγματα για την απόλαυσή του. Και θα γνωρίσει ότι Εγώ είμαι ο Κυβερνήτης όλων των πραγμάτων και ο Σατανάς είναι απλώς ένα από τα όντα που δημιούργησα και αργότερα στράφηκε εναντίον Μου. Το σχέδιο διαχείρισης Μου των έξι χιλιάδων ετών χωρίζεται σε τρία στάδια για να επιτευχθεί το παρακάτω αποτέλεσμα: να μπορέσουν οι δημιουργίες Μου να γίνουν μάρτυρές Μου, να κατανοήσουν το θέλημά Μου και να γνωρίζουν ότι εγώ είμαι η αλήθεια. Έτσι, κατά τη διάρκεια της αρχικής φάσης του έργου στο σχέδιο διαχείρισής Μου των έξι χιλιάδων ετών, έκανα το έργο του νόμου που ήταν το έργο στο οποίο ο Ιεχωβά οδήγησε τους ανθρώπους Του. Το δεύτερο στάδιο ξεκίνησε το έργο της Εποχής της Χάριτος στα χωριά της Ιουδαίας. Ο Ιησούς αντιπροσωπεύει όλο το έργο της Εποχής της Χάριτος. Ενσαρκώθηκε και σταυρώθηκε στον σταυρό κι επίσης εγκαινίασε την Εποχή της Χάριτος. Σταυρώθηκε για να ολοκληρώσει το έργο της λύτρωσης, να τελειώσει την Εποχή του Νόμου και να ξεκινήσει την Εποχή της Χάριτος κι έτσι ονομάστηκε ο «Υπέρτατος Αρχηγός», η «Προσφορά για την αμαρτία», ο «Λυτρωτής». Έτσι, το έργο του Ιησού διέφερε σε περιεχόμενο από το έργο του Ιεχωβά, παρόλο που ήταν τα ίδια στις αρχές τους. Ο Ιεχωβά ξεκίνησε την Εποχή του Νόμου, εδραίωσε τη βάση του οίκου, δηλαδή το σημείο της αρχής του έργου Του στην γη και εξέδωσε τις εντολές. Αυτά ήταν δύο από τα κατορθώματά Του, τα οποία αντιπροσωπεύουν την Εποχή του Νόμου. Το έργο που έκανε ο Ιησούς την Εποχή της Χάριτος δεν ήταν για να εκδώσει εντολές αλλά για να εκπληρώσει τις εντολές και μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο να οδηγήσει στην Εποχή της Χάριτος και να καταλήξει με την Εποχή του Νόμου που είχε διαρκέσει δύο χιλιάδες χρόνια. Ήταν ο πρωτοπόρος που ήρθε για να ξεκινήσει την Εποχή της Χάριτος, ωστόσο το κύριο μέρος του έργου Του ήταν για τη λύτρωση. Οπότε τα κατορθώματά Του ήταν επίσης διπλά: ξεκίνησε μια νέα εποχή και ολοκλήρωσε το έργο της λύτρωσης μέσω της σταύρωσής Του. Στη συνέχεια αναχώρησε. Στο σημείο αυτό, η Εποχή του Νόμου έφτασε στο τέλος της και η ανθρωπότητα εισήλθε στην Εποχή της Χάριτος.

We have just finished our third week of camp. The Willows campers have been kept very busy these past three weeks. The days have been flying by way too quickly. It was very exciting to have all our Willows family members join us for an outstanding visiting day. The children were extremely excited to share their activities with their parents, while the parents had fun pretending to be campers. We hope you had as much fun as we did and lunch together was terrific.
The children enjoyed this weeks theme of “I Spy”. They had fun decorating binoculars in Camper Creations. In Ceramics, each child enjoyed making their favorite food out of clay with the help of their parents. Their ceramic projects will be sent home shortly. To end our wonderful week, The Willows campers joined the rest of camp at Waterworld. The children drove
water boats and joined in other great water activities. A terrific time was had by all!
Willow Grove Day Camp provides summer fun for kids who live in Willow Grove, Abington, Blue Bell, Hatboro, Horsham, Huntingdon Valley, Lafayette Hill, Philadelphia, Plymouth Meeting, Southampton and the surrounding areas.

This is a Hex excavated Truncated Cube "truncated hexahedron" composed entirely of square and triangle origami units.
I made this for my niece. She loves the color purple and dragons.
There are 6 central faces that used Dragon artwork in the center of Double stopper modules. used 3 different dragon pictures.
**Purple-gray-dragon image cube centers: 6 Double Stopper modules (Tomoko Fuse's Kusudama Origami, page 52) I used images of purple dragons edited to the correct size to for the center of the double stoppers. I used 3 different dragon images between 6 faces.
**Floral print Square cube walls: 12 Square Flat Unit modules (from Tomoko Fuse's Unit Polyhedron Origami, page 8.) They're made from two whole sheets of paper, allowing me to color each side of the squares differently. I used 3 different floral patterns.
**Purple tetrahedron walls: 24 Equilateral-triangular Flat Unit II modules (from Kunihiko Kasahara's Origami Omnibus, page 204.) I started using regular triangle modules that had 3 flaps ( from Tomoko Fuse) that had 3 flaps, however the complexity of the units persuaded me to revert back to the equilateral triangles which have 3 pockets no flaps These units have three flaps and no pockets, requiring joining tabs to be folded so they could insert into the sides of the roomy Square Flat Unit modules.
**Black tetrahedron corners/bases: 8 Equilateral-triangular Flat Unit II modules (from Kunihiko Kasahara's Origami Omnibus, page 204.) I glued all but one corner , Where I only glued 1 flap, so it acts as a door to reveal a hidden compartment that I hid a pewter dragon inside.
All of the units used in this have a side length which is exactly 1/2 the length of the original sheet of paper, meaning they are all compatible.
Total of 65 sheets of paper to complete this project, including 24 sheets of Floral/Japanese Print Origami paper. ( Not including the joining tabs)
Excuse the poor photo quality do to inadequate lighting. I will try to get a better picture.
This model and my Valentine Themed Cube
