CHUJA ISLAND FESTIVAL: AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE

 

www.jejuweekly.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=1857

 

As I drove to the Jeju ferry terminal at 6 am on Saturday morning, one of the best sun rises I have ever seen began to develop above me. Incredible swirls of cloud reflected the brilliant yellow and orange colors of the sky. It was an amazing scene. Unfortunately it was the last sunshine I would see that day. An hour later I was on a ferry bound for Chuja Island and the Yellow Corvina Fish Festival, menacing storm clouds hanging overhead.

 

Rough seas bounced the ferry (and my stomach) up and down as high winds and sheets of rain hammered the windows. It wasn't much better when I arrived at the island an hour later. Rain was still falling and the festival booths sat empty. By 12 pm I was ready to return to Jeju. But, just as I was about to give up, there was a break in the weather and the festival resumed.

 

Within minutes of the rain stopping, several local men and women sat down near the pier and began to make nets for the crowd of people that had quickly gathered around them. The women were particularly fascinating as they wrapped colorful string around ropes and nets with jaw-dropping speed. Net making is a popular job among the women of Chuja as they can earn between 50-70,000 won per day.

 

The nets are designed specifically to catch Yellow Corvina, a species of fish once plentiful all over the southern waters of Korea but now mainly limited to the area around Chuja. Each 24 meter net is tied together to form one long 16 km net. The massive net is spread out over 650 meters of water near the island and, weighted down by circular stone blocks, allowed to sink into the sea. Then the fisherman wait for the tide to come in. Over the next few hours, the fish, unable to see the thin white fibres of the net, get trapped inside as the current brings them closer to shore.

 

A few meters away a woman demonstrated to a throng of visitors how to properly tie several Yellow Corvina together so that the fish dry properly. Deftly moving her hands back and forth, she expertly braided a pair of ropes around a bunch of fish. A man beside her proudly held them up in the air as I took a photo, an iconic image of Chuja Island and a symbol of its economy.

 

Later that afternoon, as I was preparing to leave the island and as the rain began to fall again, a large pool was filled with fish and dozens of people, young and old, jumped into the water to to try to catch them with their bare hands. It was quite the sight and the blur of motion a symbol of the turbulent weather we've had in Korea this summer.

Link to US 80

American Roads

www.americanroads.us/ushighways/ushighway80CA.html

 

U.S. Route 80 is an east–west United States highway, much of which was once part of the early auto trail known as the Dixie Overland Highway. As the "0" in the route number indicates, it was originally a cross-country route, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. However, the entire segment west of Dallas, Texas, has been decommissioned in favor of various Interstate highways and state highways. Currently, the highway's eastern terminus is in Tybee Island, Georgia, at the Atlantic Ocean. Its western terminus is at the border of Dallas and Mesquite, Texas, at an intersection with Interstate 30.[2]

 

U.S. Route 80 (US 80) was a U.S. highway in California that continued east across the country to Georgia. The western terminus was in San Diego, California, and US 80 continued east through the city on several different alignments through the years. The highway went through the Cuyamaca Mountains, encountering many switchbacks, before descending to El Centro. After passing through the sand dunes, the highway crossed the Colorado River into Yuma, Arizona.

 

The highway replaced a 1912 plank road across much of Imperial County. The winding two-lane road through the Cuyamaca Mountains was one of the factors that led to a four-hour journey from San Diego to El Centro. During the 1930s, the road was realigned through the mountains, but several curves remained. In the 1950s, work began on constructing what would become Interstate 8 (I-8) to replace the old highway in San Diego to bypass the cities of San Diego, La Mesa, and El Cajon. This started with the construction of the Alvarado Canyon road as well as Mission Valley Road through the San Diego area, as well as construction a replacement for the old highway across the Viejas Grade. The construction continued across the rest of the route through the next two decades. US 80 was gradually decommissioned after 1964 as I-8, through San Diego and Imperial counties, was completed. In 2006, the highway was designated by the California State Legislature as Historic U.S. Route 80.

 

Route description[edit]

 

There were multiple alignments through the downtown San Diego area. The route as of 1928 began at Broadway (US 101) and ran along 4th Avenue north to University Avenue in the Hillcrest district, then went east on University Avenue.[3] By 1933, the routing had shifted to use Park Boulevard south of University Avenue into downtown, to end at Market Street; the city council voted that July to use University Avenue west of Park Boulevard to connect to US 101, to obtain federal funding for improving that road.[4] The next year, the Point Loma highway was referred to as the western terminus of US 80 by E.E. Wallace, a district highway engineer.[5] Nevertheless, the state-produced highway maps from the next few years did not reflect the change, or this choice of the western terminus.[6][7]

 

In the early days of World War II, some maps showed the western terminus of US 80 at the Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma, running north on Catalina Boulevard, north then east on Cañon Street, northeast on Rosecrans Street, southeast on Lytton Street, east on Barnett Avenue, south on Pacific Highway (US 101) and finally east on Market Street, before continuing north along Park Boulevard to El Cajon Boulevard.[8] US 395 ran concurrently along the route from downtown San Diego to the intersection with Fairmount Avenue.[9] By 1942, the US 395 concurrency had been removed.[10] With the completion of the Cabrillo Freeway, between 1946 and 1948, US 80 shifted from Park Boulevard to 11th Avenue north onto the new freeway before continuing east onto El Cajon Boulevard towards La Mesa.[11][12][13] The final San Diego alignment, with signs to be placed in 1954, moved the western terminus to the intersection with US 101 where it traveled east on what was known as Camino del Rio and Alvarado Canyon Road, and then continuing on the Mission Valley road towards La Mesa.[14][15] According to Caltrans district engineer Jacob Dekema, during the 1950s, the parts of Camino Del Rio and Rosecrans Street from Lytton Street and Rosecrans Street to Pacific Highway were considered a part of US 80.[16]

     

A section of old US 80 (Wildwood Glen Lane) now closed to vehicular traffic west of Descanso Junction

East of San Diego, US 80 followed the path of El Cajon Boulevard through La Mesa and then onto Main Street near downtown El Cajon before heading towards the Mountain Springs grade.[17] The route was realigned from Arnold Way onto Alpine Boulevard as it passed through Alpine and the Viejas Indian Reservation, before entering the Laguna Mountains and the Cleveland National Forest on the alignment used by I-8.[18] At Laguna Junction, a cafe for travelers existed from 1916 until when the building was taken down to provide land for the interchange with I-8.[19] A section of old US 80 — with the first few miles signed as SR 79 — continues to serve as access to the communities of Descanso, Guatay and Pine Valley;[18] SR 79 intersected US 80 east of Descanso.[20] At the time, the Ellis Wayside Rest provided a rest area for travelers; later, the state recognized it as a historic site.[21] Exiting the national forest, US 80 continued in a southeasterly direction towards Live Oak Springs and Boulevard, intersecting with the eastern terminus of SR 94. US 80 then came close to the Mexican border as it curved around the Jacumba Mountains and into the hot spring town of Jacumba.[20][22] East of there, US 80 passed by the Desert View Tower.[23]

 

US 80 then descended rapidly into Imperial County along the In-Ko-Pah Gorge just west of Coyote Wells and Ocotillo before entering the city limits of El Centro.[20][22] East of El Centro, US 80 again continued into Holtville. US 80 cut a southeasterly trajectory, running parallel and very close to the Mexican border, and traversing the Algodones Dunes and the Colorado Desert. It finally reached Winterhaven before crossing the Colorado River into Yuma, Arizona.[22] Almost the entire length of the former US 80 within Imperial County has since been designated County Route S80.[13]

 

History[edit]

 

Construction[edit]

 

See also: Old Plank Road

 

Route 12 was added to the state highway system in 1909 from San Diego to El Centro,[24] and Route 27 was added from El Centro to Yuma in 1915.[25] Before a highway was constructed through the Imperial San Dunes, travelers had to pass to the north in order to reach Yuma.[26] The first route through Imperial Valley was originally a plank road made of pieces of wood that were tied together.[27] The road was completed by October 1912, and portions were still visible into the 2010s. The Ocean-to-Ocean Bridge across the Colorado River was open in 1915, and a new plank road was opened that year which became state-maintained in 1917, and used a foundation of wooden rails, with the planks bound together by steel, as opposed to simple planks that were fastened to rails. However, traffic congestion and dusty conditions made travel along the plank road difficult.[26][28][29] The delay in constructing a road to San Diego caused increased development in Los Angeles and resulted in that city becoming the trade and population center of Southern California.[30]

 

A stagecoach road existed into the 19th century that passed through the mountains east of San Diego.[31] Construction was discussed as early as 1911, with The San Diego Union and Daily Bee saying that it "will be one of the best in the system."[32] Well before the freeway was constructed, the automobile road through the mountains east of San Diego was narrow and wound through the mountains; it was officially dedicated in 1912.[27][33] This trip was known to take up to four hours, and frequently resulted in the radiator boiling over, flat tires, or broken fan belts; recent inclement weather would result in cars becoming mired in the mud.[31] But meanwhile, Colonel Ed Fletcher declared the road a "success", and indicated his belief that a concrete road from San Diego to Yuma would soon follow, responding to criticism that a road from Los Angeles to Brawley should have been built.[34]

 

US 80 was designated on November 11, 1926, along with the rest of the U.S. Routes.[35] The asphalt road was constructed through the valley as the main east–west route, and was open by 1927.[26] Another road was constructed in the early 1930s, to remove curves and widen the lanes.[31] The result was a two-lane road that still had many switchbacks, with one popularly known as "Dead Man's Curve".[36] Planning for this new alignment was underway in 1932, and much of the work was to be located at the Viejas Grade, and at the segment just west of Alpine.[37] Paving continued on US 80 into 1934, just west of the sand dunes.[38]

 

Meanwhile, Imperial County businessmen hoped to promote the use of this road over the route from Phoenix to Los Angeles, to increase tourism.[39] Eventually, US 80 did become the most used road into Southern California from the east, but by 1947, the Highway 80 Associated was formed to increase the traffic on the road, since the war and advertising by other cities had caused it to fall again.[40] Four years later, US 80 was reported to be the most used transcontinental highway,[41] and there was a 40 percent increase in the out-of-state cars that traveled through the state inspection station at Yuma during the first three months of that year.[42] But in 1954, there were reports that traffic had decreased, because the road to Phoenix, Arizona from Lordsburg, New Mexico had improved.[43]

 

Early freeway development[edit]

 

Starting in 1932, county and state officials proposed rerouting US 80 away from what is now La Mesa Boulevard. Although the city raised concerns about the proposal, due to the shift in transportation design towards "free-access highways" where vehicles could travel up to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h), and the success of the Arroyo Seco Parkway in Los Angeles, the La Mesa Scout newspaper withdrew their objections to the construction.[44] In the meantime, parts of El Cajon Boulevard through downtown El Cajon were widened in 1935.[45] Federal funds were allocated for rerouting US 80 in 1940;[44] by then, La Mesa Boulevard had been designated as a U.S. 80 Business Route, and El Cajon Boulevard then carried the US 80 designation to San Diego.[46] But in 1947, the San Diego Highway Development Association criticized the proliferation of traffic signals and businesses on El Cajon Boulevard, during the discussion of how to resolve traffic issues on US 101 through Oceanside.[47]

 

World War II stalled most freeway projects in the San Diego area. Plans were developed by 1946 for a freeway through Alvarado Canyon that would connect with the Cabrillo Freeway.[44] Funding was obtained by 1949 for the 5.4 miles (8.7 km) portion between 70th Street and Lake Murray Boulevard, and Fairmout Avenue. The first portion of the Alvarado Canyon Highway, the first freeway thorough La Mesa, was opened in early 1950. Reports indicated that this decreased the time to travel from La Mesa to San Diego by a factor of two, with 7,000 trips on the route each day.[44] That same year, the San Diego city manager expressed concerns at the Highway Commission meeting about shifting US 80 away from El Cajon Boulevard to the Alvarado Canyon and Mission Valley Road route, due to the potential loss of commerce for businesses located near the current route.[48]

 

In 1948, the Highway 80 Chamber of Commerce president complained that funds were being prioritized for US 395 construction, instead of on US 80.[49] In September, the county supervisors approved the Mission Valley road as a limited access highway, but held off on processing the results from surveying.[50] The next month, $1 million was allocated to the realignment of the Viejas grade,[51] namely, increasing the radius of the curves from 300 feet (91 m) to 2,000 feet (610 m), as well as limiting the grade to 4 percent.[52] By 1949, the project was under way, with prisoners contributing to the labor force,[53] and was projected to include a tunnel as well as several crossings of the Sweetwater River.[54] A longer 34 miles (55 km) tunnel through the Cuyamaca Mountains was also proposed that year, which would have been the longest in the world.[55] But by 1950, work on the Viejas grade had stalled, due to the prison labor camp being shut down; efforts were then made to start work again.[56] More funds were allocated by the State Highway Commission a few months later, and the work was to be put out for bid to complete the project.[57]

 

Meanwhile, construction continued on the western part of the US 80 freeway. On August 27, 1951, the final link in the new freeway between Point Loma and La Mesa was dedicated.[58] The next year, planning continued for the possibility of a freeway bypass of El Cajon that would connect to the existing US 80 freeway.[59] However, many El Cajon Boulevard motel owners raised objections over the reassigning of the US 80 designation to the new freeway, as it would potentially harm business. In response, the Highway Development Association proposed designating El Cajon Boulevard as a business route.[60] But in order to obtain funding for the construction, the new route would have to be added to the state highway system by the California State Legislature, or be designated as US 80.[61] Later, a Freeway 80 Association was formed to encourage public support for the construction of the bypass of El Cajon, and the conversion of the Alvarado Canyon and Mission Valley roads into a freeway.[62] Following the city of San Diego council and county approval, the California State Assembly transportation committee heard complaints from citizens claiming that they had not been adequately notified about the plans for US 80 or SR 94, or given enough time to provide input.[63]

 

In Imperial County, discussion regarding rerouting US 80 south of the city of Holtville began in August 1953.[64] The next year, the state director of public works announced that the route would be rebuilt to the south for 7 miles (11 km) as a freeway.[65] In February 1954, the California Highway Commission declared that both the Alvarado Canyon and Mission Valley roads, as well as the new Holtville alignment, were to be part of US 80; an alignment was also chosen for the part of the highway that passed through El Cajon.[66] A $934,211 contract was given out to construct the Holtville portion in April.[67] Contrary to the recommendation of the California Senate Interim Committee on Highways to study constructing the freeway to replace US 80 on a new alignment, San Diego County officials decided to pursue upgrading the existing road to become a freeway. Another route through the Lyons Valley was considered as an alternative.[68] The Highway Development Association proposed adding grade-separated interchanges on the routing of US 80 through San Diego, as well as reconstructing the interchange with the Cabrillo Freeway, as well as finishing the work on the Viejas Grade and through the mountains.[69] That year, according to Caltrans, the interchange with US 395 was the busiest in the county.[70]

 

Interstate Highway System[edit]

 

In April 1955, a Caltrans official announced that US 80 would be built as a freeway for its entire length in California, as it was to be included in the Interstate Highway System.[71] In the meantime, while plans moved further along on US 101, the mayor of San Diego asked the California Highway Commission to keep the US 80 project on track.[72] However, the construction was put on hold because of lower traffic levels on US 80, compared to other local highways.[73] State Assemblyman Hegland raised the issue in the Assembly Highway subcommittee in December, stating that the construction of the freeway would help the economy and the Port of San Diego.[74] State Senator Collier went even further and blamed the delay on San Diego County officials, in addition to linking the delay to damaging the program to develop the port.[75] The bridge over the Colorado River was replaced in 1956, at a cost of $1.2 million, and was in use until 1978, when the I-8 bridge was built.[76]

 

Finally, in May 1957, bids opened for the part of US 80 between Grossmont Boulevard in La Mesa and Chase Avenue in El Cajon, that would connect to the new SR 67 freeway.[77] Groundbreaking took place on June 10, and the project was to cost $3.6 million.[78] The rebuilding of the Cabrillo Freeway interchange became a priority due to the availability of federal funding, and due to the traffic problems encountered with having ramps entering from both the left and the right.[79] In July, the Highway Development Association decided to formally raise the issue of the incomplete highway survey through Imperial County at the next California Highway Commission meeting.[80] In 1958, federal funds were allocated to construct US 80 from Taylor Street to Fairmount Avenue as an eight-lane freeway, and from there to 70th Street as a divided highway.[81] In August, the state announced that there were four proposed routes for US 80 through the mountains, including one with a tunnel.[82] A contract was later awarded to construct the freeway from Taylor Street to the Cabrillo Freeway at a cost of $1.2 million.[83] In November, Caltrans announced that the Walker Canyon route had been chosen for US 80, which would allow for the route to be constructed in stages, as well as being the least expensive alternative.[84]

 

By the end of the year, plans were being made for construction of the freeway between Flume Drive east of El Cajon and Laguna Junction,[85] and the portion of the freeway from Fairmount Avenue to Lake Murray Boulevard was contracted for $2.6 million.[86] In January 1960, the Taylor Street to Cabrillo Freeway portions were under construction, including the interchange at the latter, and were scheduled to be complete by October, while the Cabrillo Freeway to Fairmout Avenue portion was up for bid;[87] the next month, the contract was awarded for $4.6 million, with interchanges to be constructed at Texas Street and Ward Road to replace traffic signals.[88] In July, the new I-8 designation for the road was announced, and plans to post signs were made.[89] Another contract for the portion from Grossmont Summit near Chase Avenue to Ballantyne Avenue was awarded for $2.7 million in November.[90]

 

But in 1960, Jacob Dekema, the district highway engineer, stated that due to lower traffic on US 80, the completion of the freeway through the mountains would be delayed until at least 1971.[91] Construction of the section of US 80 from Magnolia Avenue to Third Street was contracted for $2.7 million in April.[92] That year, work continued on the freeway, and in August, only one traffic signal was left on the highway west of El Cajon, at Ward Road.[93] In August, Dekema announced that bids for the portion between Lake Murray Boulevard and Third Street would be opened the following month; once that was completed, the entire freeway west of El Cajon would be complete.[94] Eastbound lanes between US 395 and Fairmount Avenue opened on November 23.[95]

 

The portion from the Grossmont summit to Magnolia Avenue and SR 67 was completed in April 1961.[96] By August, the entirety of the freeway west of El Cajon was complete, with the exception of the portions from near Lake Murray Boulevard to near La Mesa Boulevard for $3.1 million, as well as between Magnolia Avenue and the El Cajon eastern city limits for $2.7 million. In addition to this, the part of the freeway from near Grays Well to Ogilby Road in Imperial County was also being constructed for $2.3 million.[97] The 2.3 miles (3.7 km) freeway portion east of Magnolia Avenue that connected with the undivided US 80 opened on September 6.[98] The final section in La Mesa was completed in April 1962.[99] Construction started on the Mountain Springs portion of US 80 in September 1962.[100] That year, US 80 west of the Cabrillo Freeway interchange was declared to be the busiest road in the City of San Diego, at 71,000 daily vehicles.[101]

 

US 80 was removed from the state highway system in the 1964 state highway renumbering when I-80 was designated; I-8 assumed the routing from San Diego to El Centro and Yuma.[2] However, US 80 signs were posted for several years afterward on the remaining portions of the original asphalt road that had not been bypassed by the freeway.[102] After the freeway was built, the population of Jacumba went from 400 to 200, and many businesses closed or relocated. However, the population began to increase after a few years, and residents began commuting to jobs in El Centro and San Diego.[103] Following a campaign from the local Old Highway 80 Committee and endorsement from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors,[104] the California State Legislature passed a resolution allowing for the route to be designated and signed as a state historic route, Historic U.S. Route 80, in 2006.[105][106]

Visitors to the Current show at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, Hyde Park were directed by the Chapman Brothers with this message.

GET RID OF MEANING. YOUR MIND IS A NIGHTMARE.

Easier said than done when it comes to this art by the Chapman Brothers which features the familiar mutilated bodies and scenes of horrific torture and gruesome ritualised decapitations that do not necessarily contrive to horrify, as this sentence would appear to suggest.

The Chapman brothers are inclined to provide enough comforting context. We Monks were after all invited to enter a brand new swanky art gallery and no art lover as far as we are aware has thus far been harmed or traumatised by a Chapman image.

 

We entered cautiously and discovered the familiar grim images, scary in a "ghost train" kind of way. The Chapman Klansmen are comedy Klansmen with rainbow socks and comedy smiley faces. The Chapman crucified martyrs are nothing more than harmless corporate Ronald MacDonald effigies, and so very many of them as in the real world.

I found myself failing to "get rid of meaning" by comparing the Chapman Brothers to Richard Dadd, whose "Fairy Feller's" is arguably more horrific, given Dadd's state of mind, but far less horrifically explicit than the Chapman Brothers.

 

As far as we know the Chapman Brothers are not actually psychotic. They are more inclined to toy with the visitors most visitors go along with the toying. I could not fail to notice two American ladies failing to "get rid of the meaning" They provided me with an in-depth commentary on each particular scene of horror and mutilation as if Ronald MacDonald were a real person and these were scenes from a soap opera, a warped Nazi soap opera.

The miniature horror model show might also appeal to the model makers within all of us boys, seeking the same thrill you might get when you view an architect's model of a new airport or a shopping centre complete with little trees to provide context and scale.

 

For this reason I did wonder why The Chapman Brothers had not provided a model Hornby Nazi train-set to circulate about the corpses. Yes, I do believe that there is a train spotting model maker and dark grim humour within us all.

We Monks saw "Hell", the earlier Chapman Brothers work which featured similar miniature grotesque models in glass cases. These works which took years of endeavour to construct were destroyed in the cataclysmic MOMART fire in the 2004. They have now been recreated and re-imagined somewhat in the same spirit.

I discussed this with a young "curator" in the gallery. I discovered that the new Serpentine Sackler Gallery was in fact an 1805 listed building and formerly a depositary for gunpowder and such. I again found myself failing to "get rid of the meaning", so I changed the subject and I told her that I was a little scared to go into the central section behind the black curtain, from where I could hear the sounds of horror. She said that I should not be scared and that all would be well if I were to enter..

Beyond the black curtain masked members of the KKK were sitting amongst the visitors watching a Chapman movie. There I observed Mrs Monk sitting next to a KKK pointy hat both of them watching the horror movie as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

There was a Chapmanesque resonance in the movie but no fearful reaction from the visitors. Just the occasional knowing laugh.

A Native American woman stands in the forest with her friend, a large mountain lion. The woman has a painted face, and wears a deer skin dress and a brown fur shawl. The big cat stands next to her with its head just under her hand. Both the woman and the cougar look at you the viewer as if you have disturbed them in their peaceful woods.

 

This was based on a story I heard as a kid. I've never been able to find the title or a reference to it though. It goes roughly like this:

 

___

 

One winter, a Creek Indian village was having a hard time. The harvest was small and the winter was cold. The people were hungry.

 

Among them was a man named Panther. Panther went out hunting to help feed his people. Unable to find game in the village's usual hunting ground, he decided to trespass in the forest of a sorceress.

 

In those woods, he came to a river where the sorceress was bathing. He hid behind some rocks and spied upon her. She was beautiful and Panther was smitten by her.

 

He stayed too long and she caught him. She was angry, and he was afraid that she would use her magic on him in some bad way. So he pleaded with her and told her that he was hunting to help feed his starving village.

 

The sorceress took pity on Panther and gave him a magic arrow. Whenever he dropped the arrow on the ground, it would point in the direction to go and find game. However, she told him that he had to return the arrow by the next full moon.

 

Red Panther used the arrow to find many deer over the next few days which he killed and brought back to his village where he was acclaimed a hero. Soon was the day of the next full moon. Panther new he had to take the arrow back to the sorceress, but he did not want to give up the acclaim he had achieved so he decided to keep the arrow.

 

The next week, he went out hunting but did not return. Other hunters followed his tracks. They headed towards the sorceress's woods. On the way, they changed from the tracks of a man to those of a cat. When they reached the woods, the hunters saw the sorceress. They dared not approach her though, for now she was guarded by a large panther.

Wednesday 30 September will be the very last day that people who rent a house in Doel are (officially) allowed to stay in the village. After that day, only 13 house owners will be left behind in a village that may fall prey to thiefs, vandals and other crooks.

Doel artist Denise Aerts, however, is not to be discouraged and invites everybody to come to Doel on Wednesday, 30 September to jointly compose the longest table that has ever been in the streets of the village and celebrate a symbolic "Last Supper" in Doel.

One detail: since there are no more facilities in the village, everybody has to bring his or her own (camping) table and a bag with food and beverages.... Denise and her friends will make sure there is music and a nice atmosphere.

The building of the table starts as of 14 hrs and the supper will begin around 18 hrs.

 

Denise urgently appeals on all sympathizers and people who do not want the village to disappear to join her symbolic Last Supper in Doel

on 30 September

 

Organiser: Denise Aerts (more info: denise.aerts@hotmail.com, 0485/180990)

 

17 October, 15 hrs: Installation of Ruigoord/ABG "axis Mundi" in Doel

 

On Saturday, 17 October, the Amsterdams Balloon Society from Ruigoord (Amsterdam) will come to Doel for the festive inauguration of the local Axis Mundi, a joint project by artists from Doel and Ruigoord.

Everybody is cordially invited to join the Axis Mundi festivities on 17 October 2009 at 15 hrs off the police office in Doel (Pastorijstraat).

===========================================

 

Het is duidelijk dat er plannen zijn voor het dorpje Doel, deelgemeente van Beveren.

 

Eerst was er sprake van een tweede dok.maar inmiddels heeft de kerncentrale voor de nodige bescherming van dit polderdorp gezorgd.

 

Dan was er sprake van het dorp op te hogen met 22 meter zand en zou het dienst doen als containerpark, sorry, maar er was geld voor de belgische kassa en véél werkgelegenheid beloofd!

 

Uiteindelijk werden huizen in puin gelegd is het dorp verlaten op een 100-tal inwoners na, en ……… wat was het plan ook alweer?

 

Er is géén plan!!!!

 

Op 1 oktober moeten de laatste huurders hun woningen ontruimd hebben en zullen de laatste 13 eigenaars van privé-woningen netjes achtergelaten worden temidden van een slagveld van dieven, vandalen en rovers.

The summit of Crich Hill is reputed to have been the site of a Beacon Fire, which signalled the sighting of the Spanish Armada in the English Channel in 1588. It is believed that after the thrashing the Spanish received from Drake, his ships and the good old English weather, it was again used to celebrate the victory. In 1988 this most famous naval victory was again celebrated on its 400th anniversary with a new Beacon Post and Brazier being built and in 2002 it was again rebuilt as a cairn and brazier to commemorate HM The Queen's Golden Jubilee.

 

In 1734 there were a number of small lime kilns on the Hill and the public footpath which runs across the Hill to Crich is believed to have been used by Salt Merchants who packed the salt on horses or mules, transporting it southwards from the Cheshire area.

 

THE TOWER

 

The first record of any tower type structure is during the reign of King George III (1760) when a wooden tower was erected to provide both a landmark and a place from which to take in some of the best views available. It is thought that this tower was erected to mark his accession to the Throne. Owing to its wooden construction in such an exposed area, it only lasted about 25 years before being demolished. In 1788, Francis Hurt paid the princely sum of 210 to have a conical limestone tower with a wooden top constructed on the site of the old tower. By about 1843 the conical tower was in such a poor state of repair that a decision was taken to rebuild and in 1849 some of the stones of this conical tower were used to build the base of the new circular tower that was built from grit stone.

 

The circular tower was opened in 1851 (the year of the Great Exhibition) and it had a stone stairway winding up inside. An engraved tablet set in the wall at the top showed that the tower was 955 feet above sea level.

 

It could be said that this tower was the forerunner of The Sherwood Foresters Memorial. In June 1856 it was the scene of a jubilant crowd celebrating the end of the Crimean War (1854-56) and Sergeant Wetton of the 95th Derbyshire Regiment, a resident of Crich, was carried to the top of the Hill in a specially adapted chair as he had lost a leg at the Battle of the Alma (20th September 1854). There is no doubt that he would have been happy that the war was over, but it is certain that he would have remembered his Regimental Family and the comrades who never came home. In 1881 the 95th Derbyshire Regiment joined the 45th Nottinghamshire Regiment to form The Sherwood Foresters.

 

In June of 1882 there was a major landslide in the area of the quarry and this had a serious subsidence effect on the tower, lightning strikes and further minor movements of the ground in the immediate area resulted in the closing of the tower to the public for reasons of safety.

Come sono quasi diventata una vergine stolta

  

di Li Fang, Cina

 

Nell’inverno del 2002, sorella Zhao, un membro della mia confessione, la Chiesa della Verità – portò a casa mia sua nipote, sorella Wang, per informarmi di una grande novità: il ritorno del Signore. Dopo aver letto per un paio di giorni le parole di Dio Onnipotente e aver ascoltato la dettagliata spiegazione della sorella, compresi che, dalla creazione del mondo a oggi, Dio ha svolto tre fasi dell’opera per salvare l’umanità. Altre verità di cui venni a conoscenza comprendevano: l’adozione, da parte di Dio, di un nome diverso durante ciascuna fase dell’opera, il significato del nome corrispondente a ciascuna fase, il mistero dell’incarnazione di Dio, ecc. Queste verità mi permisero davvero di spalancare gli occhi e di vedere fino a sazietà. Dissi a me stessa: “È tutto perfettamente chiaro ed è molto probabile che Dio Onnipotente sia il ritorno del Signore Gesù; quindi, farei meglio ad accertarmi di cogliere l’occasione e a leggere più parole di Dio Onnipotente”. Prima di andarsene, sorella Wang mi lasciò alcuni libri contenenti le parole di Dio. Ogni volta che, nel corso della giornata, se ne presentava l’occasione, leggevo le parole di Dio. Più le leggevo, più adoravo leggerle e più sentivo che erano le parole di Dio. Dopo tre giorni, diventai ansiosa. Pensai: “Mio figlio, che è a sua volta credente, e molti fratelli e sorelle all’interno della nostra Chiesa non sono ancora a conoscenza di questa grande novità del ritorno del Signore. Farei meglio ad affrettarmi a dirglielo”.

 

Il giorno seguente, al mattino presto, andai a casa di mio figlio. Gli dissi con gioia: “Questo è un libro davvero straordinario. Dovresti leggerlo quanto prima”. Mio figlio mi guardò e mi chiese: “Quale libro? Sembri molto contenta. Mettilo lì e ci darò un’occhiata quando avrò tempo”. Pensavo che, poiché tutti i credenti stavano attendendo il ritorno del Signore, mio figlio sarebbe stato felice di sapere che il Signore era già tornato.

 

Mai avrei immaginato, invece, che tre giorni dopo mio figlio si sarebbe presentato a casa mia in compagnia di sei religiosi. Uno di essi era il pastore Xia, della mia confessione, mentre gli altri erano pastori e predicatori della confessione di mio figlio. Ero piuttosto sorpresa di vederli, dato che non riuscivo a capire cosa stesse succedendo e perché così tante persone fossero venute a trovarmi. Un pastore, il cui cognome era Li, mi guardò attentamente per un istante e, con sguardo preoccupato, disse: “Zia, siamo tutti credenti nel Signore: un’unica, grande famiglia. Tuo figlio dice che qualcuno ti ha dato un libro, ma non sarebbe davvero opportuno che lo leggessi. Ora siamo agli ultimi giorni, e il Signore Gesù disse: ‘Allora, se qualcuno vi dice: “Il Cristo è qui”, oppure: “È là”, non lo credete; perché sorgeranno falsi cristi e falsi profeti, e faranno grandi segni e prodigi da sedurre, se fosse possibile, anche gli eletti’ (Matteo 24:23-24). Noi crediamo che queste parole del Signore Gesù significhino che chiunque affermi che il Signore è tornato è un impostore da cui dobbiamo guardarci e che dobbiamo rifiutarci di ascoltarlo. In questo momento, in tutto il mondo religioso, solo il Lampo da Levante sta recando pubblicamente testimonianza per il ritorno del Signore; quindi, qualsiasi cosa tu faccia, non immischiarti più con i suoi membri. Inoltre, non leggere alcun libro del Lampo da Levante. La loro via è diversa dalla nostra fede; quindi, non prestar loro ascolto. Tu non comprendi molto bene la Bibbia e hai una statura modesta; perciò, vieni facilmente ingannata. Noi predichiamo da molti anni e comprendiamo bene la Bibbia. Abbiamo viaggiato in tutta la Cina, abbiamo visto molte cose e la nostra vita è più grande. Oggi siamo venuti appositamente per salvarti; quindi, devi credere a noi e non cercare di fare a modo tuo”. Quando udii ciò, pensai tra me e me: “Questo pastore sembra preoccupato per me e ciò che ha detto non è sbagliato. Sono vecchia e non sono particolarmente istruita, né capisco molto bene la Bibbia. Non sono certamente in grado di discernere bene come loro”. A quel punto, il pastore Xia disse: “Io sono un pastore e il Signore mi ha dato il Suo gregge da gestire. Quindi, è mia responsabilità assicurarmi che tu non ti allontani dalla vera via. Se non mi prendo cura del Suo gregge, non potrò regolare i miei conti con il Signore. Sorella, non correre dietro ad altri gruppi del genere. Se ci venissi sottratta dal Lampo da Levante, tutti gli anni in cui hai creduto nel Signore andrebbero sprecati!” Vedere le loro facce tese e sentire il tono serio con cui mi stavano parlando mi spaventò un po’. Pensai: “È vero. Se cominciassi a credere in modo errato, tutti quegli anni di fede non andrebbero forse sprecati?” Ma poi pensai: “Le parole di quel libro sembravano così valide, così giuste. Quei pastori e predicatori non hanno letto le parole di Dio Onnipotente; quindi, come fanno a dire che non si tratta di una vera via?” Così, dissi loro: “Il modo in cui ne parlate fa sembrare che le cose stiano davvero così, ma ciò che ho ascoltato da loro corrisponde perfettamente alle parole del Signore nella Bibbia!” Quando mi udirono dire ciò, iniziarono a parlare tutti insieme, dicendo così tante cose per spaventarmi, che ne fui stordita, confusa e provai un profondo turbamento. Rimasi lì seduta, incapace di dire anche solo una parola. Poi vollero che pregassi con loro e che pronunciassi alcune maledizioni, ma io non ero d’accordo e, quindi, ripresero a terrorizzarmi. Infine, mio figlio disse: “Lasciate che mi occupi io della questione di mia madre”. Quindi, prese dalla credenza i due libri di inni intitolati “Seguire l’Agnello e cantare dei canti nuovi” e le cassette degli inni, insieme a un libro delle parole di Dio intitolato “Il giudizio comincia dalla casa di Dio” e li diede ai pastori, affinché li portassero via.

 

Quando se ne furono andati, mi sentivo così triste che non riuscii nemmeno a cenare; quindi, venni al cospetto del Signore e pregai: “Signore Gesù, ciò che hanno detto quei pastori è vero o no? Sembrano davvero preoccupati per la mia vita. Se non li ascolterò, riporrò la mia fede nel posto sbagliato? Oh Signore, se davvero fossi tornato come Dio Onnipotente e io non Ti accettassi, ciò non equivarrebbe forse a sbatterTi la porta in faccia? Non sarei forse proprio come una delle vergini stolte? Oh Signore, grazie alla lettura delle parole di Dio Onnipotente di questi pochi ultimi giorni, sento di aver acquisito un grande nutrimento spirituale. L’ho sentito davvero, sul serio, ma non potrei sbagliarmi? Ora che hanno portato via i miei libri e le mie cassette degli inni, mi sento davvero triste. Ti prego di mostrarmi la via, perché non so cosa fare…” Dopo aver pregato, mi ricordai all’improvviso che sorella Wang mi aveva dato un altro libro delle parole di Dio Onnipotente, che avevo nascosto in fondo alla credenza. Quando mi resi conto di avere ancora quel libro, mi senti un po’ meglio. Ma poi pensai a ciò che quei pastori avevano detto e mi trovai nuovamente indecisa sul da farsi. Dovevo leggere, o no, quel libro? Quella notte quasi non dormii; la mia mente era agitatissima. In lacrime, pregai Dio senza sosta…

 

Il giorno seguente, al mattino presto, mio figlio venne a prendermi per portarmi all’incontro della mia Chiesa originaria. Ero molto indecisa, ma mio figlio mi trascinò al luogo dell’incontro, disse persino a una predicatrice che c’era mancato poco che venissi rapita dal Lampo da Levante e le chiese di fare del suo meglio per convincermi a rimanere. In un istante, la predicatrice e tutti i fratelli e le sorelle mi furono attorno. La predicatrice mi prese la mano e, con un tono gentile, disse: “Zia, qualsiasi cosa tu faccia, non prestare ascolto alla predicazione di nessun altro. Se cominci a credere in modo errato, quando il Signore verrà per rapire le congregazioni, tu verrai lasciata indietro, non è così? Tu hai una statura modesta; quindi, se qualcuno ti desse un libro di qualsiasi genere da leggere, sarebbe meglio se ti rivolgessi prima a noi. Lascia che lo controlliamo noi per te…” I fratelli e le sorelle furono a loro volta tutti molto solleciti nel convincermi a rimanere e il loro “amore” mi fece piangere. Quando videro quanto ero emozionata, chiarirono una volta di più la loro opinione: “Se qualcuno del Lampo da Levante torna a trovarti, non lasciarlo entrare. Non immischiarti con loro!” Feci un cenno d’assenso con il capo.

 

Pochi giorni dopo, sorella Wang venne a trovarmi di nuovo. Le dissi: “Il pastore mi ha letto questo passo tratto dalla Bibbia: ‘Allora, se qualcuno vi dice: “Il Cristo è qui”, oppure: “È là”, non lo credete; perché sorgeranno falsi cristi e falsi profeti, e faranno grandi segni e prodigi da sedurre, se fosse possibile, anche gli eletti’ (Matteo 24:23-24). Negli ultimi giorni appariranno falsi cristi e chiunque dica che il Signore è ritornato è un impostore. Io non comprendo la Bibbia e ho una statura modesta; perciò, vengo ingannata facilmente. Non ho il coraggio di ascoltare nessun altro messaggio, quindi non ti farò entrare. Non tornare più”. Con grande sincerità, sorella Wang disse: “Il Signore Gesù disse questo per garantire che ci guardassimo dai falsi cristi durante gli ultimi giorni, ma non intendeva che anche noi dovessimo voltare le spalle a Cristo. Se vi sono dei falsi cristi, è perché il vero Cristo è già apparso, poiché senza il vero Cristo gli impostori non hanno nulla da imitare. Quelle parole del Signore Gesù ci dicono che dobbiamo imparare a discernere bene; non stanno dicendo che dovremmo rifiutarci di ascoltare il Vangelo del ritorno del Signore solo perché dei falsi cristi faranno la loro apparizione durante gli ultimi giorni. Altrimenti, come faremo ad accogliere il ritorno il Signore? Di fatto, il Signore Gesù ha già chiaramente descritto le caratteristiche dei falsi cristi. Quelle principali includono: manifestare segni, fare miracoli, curare i malati, esorcizzare i demoni e copiare l’opera che il Signore Gesù ha già svolto, allo scopo di ingannare la gente. Quindi, durante gli ultimi giorni, chiunque impersoni il Signore Gesù per predicare la via del pentimento e sia in grado di manifestare pochi semplici segni, curare i malati ed esorcizzare i demoni è un falso Cristo. Dio Onnipotente, che è il Signore Gesù fattoSi di nuovo carne degli ultimi giorni, non ripete l’opera che il Signore Gesù ha già svolto, ma svolge una nuova opera sulla base dell’opera di redenzione del Signore Gesù. Dio Onnipotente ha messo fine all’Età della Grazia e ha inaugurato l’Età del Regno, esprimendo delle verità, per svolgere una fase dell’opera di giudizio e di purificazione dell’umanità. Dio Onnipotente salverà completamente tutti coloro che sono stati redenti, ma vivono ancora nel peccato, togliendo le catene della loro natura peccaminosa e allontanandoli dall’influenza oscura di Satana. L’umanità verrà quindi condotta verso la sua meravigliosa destinazione finale. Solo Dio Stesso può svolgere quest’opera; nessuno dei falsi cristi può farlo”. Sebbene ciò che la sorella stava dicendo sembrasse ragionevole, le cose che mi avevano detto i pastori mi frullavano ancora in testa. La mia mente era agitata e incapace di concentrarsi, e io non volevo più ascoltare la sua spiegazione. Quindi, per potermene andare, le dissi che avevo una cosa da fare nella casa accanto, il che era una bugia. In seguito, sorella Wang tornò molte volte a casa mia, ma la evitai sempre. Il mio vicino mi disse: “Non ha l’aria di essere una persona cattiva; di cosa hai paura?” In cuor mio sapevo che sorella Wang era una brava persona, ma, dato che possedevo una statura modesta, temevo di interpretare la mia fede nel modo sbagliato.

 

Dopo essere tornata all’incontro della mia Chiesa originaria, ascoltai i predicatori ripetere nel sermone le stesse cose dette in precedenza. Parlavano sempre di come guardarsi dal Lampo da Levante o delle donazioni alla Chiesa, oppure ripetevano molte cose noiose su quanto avevano operato e patito per il Signore e quanta grazia di Dio avevano ottenuto… Non riuscivano a dire niente di minimamente nuovo e illuminante. Mi stancai presto di ascoltarli e cominciai a sonnecchiare. In un’altra occasione, un fratello di un’altra Chiesa venne a fare un sermone, ma si trattava sempre della stessa storia di come avesse attraversato le montagne per operare per il Signore e di quanto avesse sofferto, quante persone avesse convertito predicando il Vangelo e quante Chiese avesse fondato. Usava il sermone per dare fiato alla sua tromba. Ascoltarlo mi fece sentire molto a disagio e giunsi a pensare che non stesse recando testimonianza per il Signore, ma solo per sé stesso. Un’altra volta, ero appena arrivata all’incontro, quando una delle sorelle mi disse: “Oggi abbiamo una studentessa di teologia sui vent’anni che farà il sermone”. Ero molto felice di quella notizia e mi dissi che avrei prestato particolare attenzione, perché avrebbe sicuramente fatto un sermone migliore di quelli dei nostri predicatori. Ma la studentessa cominciò il suo sermone con una spiegazione su come guardarsi dal Lampo da Levante, poi proseguì raccontando di come avesse interrotto gli studi a sedici anni per entrare in seminario per studiare teologia, come avesse lavorato e patito – all’addiaccio, nonostante la pioggia – quanti posti avesse visitato, ecc. Più ascoltavo, più sentivo di averne abbastanza. Pensai tra me e me: “Tutto questo è solo vino vecchio in bottiglie nuove! Perché continuano a propinare le stesse cose trite e ritrite? Niente di tutto questo ha nulla a che fare con la loro esperienza o conoscenza delle parole del Signore, né ci sta guidando nel seguire la via del Signore o nel praticare e nell’accedere alle Sue parole”. Era già da più di un mese che avevo ripreso a partecipare agli incontri, ma non ne avevo ricavato nulla. Più ascoltavo quei messaggi, più mi sentivo arida nello spirito; pensavo che sarei morta di sete spirituale, se avessi continuato a credere in quel modo. Più ci pensavo, più mi agitavo.

 

Dopo l’incontro, tornai a casa con un peso sul cuore. Pensai al libro “Il giudizio comincia dalla casa di Dio”, che sorella Wang mi aveva dato, in cui si affermava che le persone non dovrebbero essere arroganti né esaltare sé stesse, ma esaltare Dio e onorare la Sua grandezza. Eppure, quei predicatori recavano tutti testimonianza per sé stessi, onorandosi sopra ogni cosa e facendo in modo che gli altri li ammirassero. Ebbi la sensazione che ciò che diceva quel libro fosse giusto! Quindi, quella sera, mentre mi trovavo a casa da sola, presi la copia di “Il giudizio comincia dalla casa di Dio” e ne lessi una parte. Più leggevo, più il mio cuore ne traeva conforto, e sentii davvero che quelle parole potevano essere il nutrimento della mia esistenza. Non riuscivo a capire perché il nostro pastore non mi lasciasse leggere un libro così valido. Lui diceva spesso di essere responsabile della mia vita, eppure, nei suoi sermoni, sembrava sapesse soltanto come recare testimonianza per sé stesso. Non mi spiegò mai come ottenere la vita. Ricordai un periodo in cui mi sentivo molto debole e non volevo partecipare agli incontri. Il pastore non venne mai a farmi visita, né mi offrì assistenza. Ma com’è possibile che, non appena cominciai a trarre un certo nutrimento spirituale dalla lettura delle parole di Dio Onnipotente, lui si fosse presentato per costringermi ad ascoltarli ripetere le solite cose trite e ritrite? Questo non è “prendersi la responsabilità della mia vita!”. Mi resi conto all’improvviso di quanto mi fossi sbagliata e mi biasimai aspramente: le parole di Dio Onnipotente potevano dare nutrimento alla mia vita e, con buona probabilità, provenivano da Dio. Come potevo essere stata così stupida e cieca da credere a ciò che aveva detto il pastore e rinunciare a indagare la vera via? Pensai anche a come sorella Wang mi avesse sempre dato un sostegno amorevole e mi avesse recato testimonianza dell’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni, di modo che avessi la possibilità di ottenere la salvezza di Dio degli ultimi giorni. Ma io non ero stata affatto gentile con sorella Wang e, in svariate occasioni, avevo addirittura evitato di incontrarla. Non avrei dovuto trattarla come se fosse una nemica. Quando ci pensai, mi sentii molto triste. Perciò, venni innanzi al Signore e, in lacrime, pronunciai una preghiera di pentimento: “Signore, ho trattato come una nemica la sorella che mi ha portato il libro delle parole di Dio e le ho voltato le spalle. In questo caso, non si tratta di abbandonare qualcuno, ma equivale di fatto a rifiutare la Tua salvezza. Signore, ora so che non avrei dovuto dare ascolto a quei pastori e rinunciare a indagare l’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni. Desidero offrirTi il mio pentimento, ma non so come trovare sorella Wang. Ti prego di aiutarmi a trovarla”. Dopo aver pregato, ripresi in mano il libro e lessi fino a notte fonda. Più leggevo, più sentivo che il contenuto era valido e più arrivavo a disprezzare i pastori per avermi impedito di leggere le parole di Dio Onnipotente.

 

Sono così grata al Signore per aver ascoltato la mia preghiera! Il giorno seguente, a mezzogiorno, mentre stavo pranzando, sorella Wang venne a casa mia. Le raccontai tutto ciò che era successo da quando l’avevo vista l’ultima volta. Quando sentì che nella Chiesa religiosa non ero riuscita a trarre alcun nutrimento, mi lesse un passo delle parole di Dio Onnipotente: “Dio porterà a compimento queste cose: farà venire dinanzi a Lui tutte le persone dell’universo e farà in modo che tutti adorino il Dio in terra, e la Sua opera in altri luoghi cesserà e la gente sarà costretta a cercare la vera via. Accadrà come avvenne con Giuseppe: tutti vennero a lui per il cibo e si prostrarono davanti a lui per questo. Al fine di evitare la carestia, le persone saranno costrette a cercare la vera via. L’intera comunità religiosa soffrirà una grave carestia e solo il Dio di oggi è la vera fonte di acqua viva, Colui che possiede la fonte che scorre in eterno, fornita per il beneficio dell’uomo, e la gente verrà e dipenderà da Lui” (“Il Regno Millenario è arrivato” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Poi, la sorella mi spiegò quanto segue: “Dio è la sorgente dell’acqua viva, e solo Lui può rifornire le persone di vita. Se abbandoneranno Dio, le persone rimarranno nell’oscurità, appassiranno e moriranno, proprio come un ramo che è stato spezzato dal tronco di un albero. Nella nostra fede in Dio dobbiamo seguire da vicino le orme dell’Agnello, accettare l’opera attuale di Dio, venire al Suo cospetto per poter ottenere l’opera dello Spirito Santo, il nutrimento e la fornitura dell’acqua viva della vita di Dio. Perché per noi non è possibile trarre nutrimento dall’ascolto di quei pastori e anziani del mondo religioso? Vi sono due ragioni. Una è che quei pastori e anziani non rispettano i comandamenti del Signore e non mettono in pratica le Sue parole. Non hanno un’esperienza di vita reale né una conoscenza reale di Dio, né tantomeno un cuore timorato di Dio, cosa che si manifesta nel fatto che non esaltano affatto Dio, né recano testimonianza per Lui nella loro opera e nella loro predicazione. Si limitano a dar fiato alle loro trombe e a portare testimonianza per sé stessi. Deviando completamente dalla via del Signore, si sono tramutati nei tipici falsi pastori che ingannano la gente. Ecco perché vengono disprezzati e rifiutati dallo Spirito Santo e non ne ricevono mai l’illuminazione e la guida. E questa è la ragione principale per cui la comunità religiosa è così desolata. L’altra ragione è che il Signore è già tornato per svolgere l’opera della nuova era. L’opera dello Spirito Santo sulle persone dell’Età della Grazia è già giunta al termine e viene ora svolta da un gruppo di persone che si adoperano per rimanere al passo con la nuova opera di Dio. Ma i pastori e gli anziani non indagano affatto la nuova opera di Dio, non seguono le Sue orme né accettano la Sua autorità. Tutto ciò che fanno è resistere follemente a Dio, condannare la Sua opera degli ultimi giorni e infangare e bestemmiare Dio Onnipotente, il Cristo degli ultimi giorni. Fanno tutto quanto è in loro potere per impedire ai credenti di indagare la vera via e ritornare a Dio e, quindi, sono diventati proprio come i farisei che inchiodarono il Signore alla croce. Sono già stati condannati ed eliminati da Dio; quindi, è impossibile che lo Spirito Santo operi in loro. Perciò, se desideriamo ricevere il nutrimento vitale, dobbiamo allinearci all’opera attuale dello Spirito Santo, accettare le cose che Dio sta attualmente affermando e accettare l’autorità, il nutrimento e la guida di Dio Onnipotente, il Cristo degli ultimi giorni. Questo è l’unico modo che abbiamo per guadagnare la verità e la vita. Questo prova ciò che disse il Signore Gesù: ‘Io sono la via, la verità e la vita’ (Giovanni 14:6). ‘Ma chi beve dell’acqua che Io gli darò, non avrà mai più sete; anzi, l’acqua che Io gli darò diventerà in lui una fonte d’acqua che scaturisce in vita eterna’ (Giovanni 4:14)”.

 

Dopo aver ascoltato la spiegazione di sorella Wang sulle parole di Dio, capii all’improvviso perché i pastori, gli anziani e gli studenti di teologia non avevano nulla che valesse la pena predicare: essi non possiedono la verità! Oppongono resistenza a Dio ed è quello il motivo per cui lo Spirito Santo li ha abbandonati molto tempo fa. Quando predicano, hanno solo delle conoscenze intellettuali su cui fare affidamento, ma non hanno l’illuminazione dello Spirito Santo, e questo è il motivo per cui la loro predica non è di aiuto alle persone. Ma c’era ancora qualcosa che non capivo; quindi, chiesi a sorella Wang: “Tutti quei pastori e anziani affermano di avere una gran familiarità con la Bibbia, di essere stati in seminario e di avere molta vita. Io non comprendo la Bibbia così bene e credevo che essi fossero davvero molto più maturi di me nella vita; ecco perché davo loro ascolto. Quindi, ora non sono in grado di decidere se essi hanno davvero molta vita, o no. Sorella, pensi che abbiano davvero molta vita?” Sorella Wang rispose: “Nessuno può dire che abbiano la vita. Tutto ciò viene deciso conformemente alle parole di Dio. Che cosa significa ‘avere la vita’? Quali cose, nello specifico, dovrebbero manifestarsi? Il Signore Gesù disse: ‘Io sono la via, la verità e la vita’ (Giovanni 14:6). E Dio Onnipotente disse: ‘Che tu sia in possesso della realtà o no non dipende da quello che dici, quanto, piuttosto, da ciò che vivi nel concreto. Quando le parole di Dio diventano la tua vita e la tua naturale espressione, solo questo conta come realtà, e solo questo conta quale tuo possesso della comprensione e della vera statura. Tu devi essere capace di reggere all’esame per un periodo di tempo prolungato, e devi saper vivere nel concreto la somiglianza che ti è richiesta da Dio; non deve essere un mero atteggiarsi, bensì deve fluire da te in modo naturale. Solo così possiederai davvero la realtà, e solo così ti sarai guadagnato la vita’ (“Solo mettere in pratica la verità significa possedere la realtà” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). ‘Perché si dice che molta gente non ha la vita? Dato che non conosce Dio, si dice che non abbia alcun Dio nel suo cuore, né alcuna vita’ (“Soltanto coloro che conoscono Dio possono renderGli testimonianza” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Da queste parole di Dio possiamo capire che Cristo è la verità, la via e la vita. La verità può fungere da vita delle persone; quindi, ottenere la verità equivale a ottenere la vita e avere la vita indica che uno ha ottenuto la verità e conosciuto Dio. Uno che non comprende la verità e non conosce Dio non avrà un cuore timorato di Dio e sarà incapace di vivere la realtà delle Sue parole. Ciò significa che egli non ha la vita. Se uno non ha le parole di Dio come vita, allora vive ancora secondo i veleni di Satana. Rivela spesso la sua indole corrotta: arroganza, presunzione, egoismo, viltà, disonestà, furbizia, ecc. E anche se crede in Dio, è comunque incapace di essere timorato di Dio e di stare lontano dal male. Spesso mente, inganna, commette peccati e oppone resistenza a Dio. Come potrebbe mai essere definito ‘una persona che ha la vita’? Se dice di avere la vita, si tratta solo della stessa vita carnale, la vita satanica piena di indoli corrotte in opposizione a Dio, e non della nuova vita, che viene dal fare esperienza delle parole di Dio e dall’ottenere la verità. Quindi, sebbene i pastori e gli anziani possano avere familiarità con la Bibbia e possedere conoscenze sulla stessa e sulle teorie teologiche, ciò non significa che conoscano Dio, siano timorati, comprendano la verità e possiedano l’opera dello Spirito Santo. Né certamente significa che praticano la parola di Dio o che Gli obbediscono. Al contrario, ciò che vediamo è che solitamente esaltano e recano testimonianza per sé stessi e generalmente cercano di fare in modo che i credenti li adorino. Ciò che rivelano è la somiglianza con Satana: sono arroganti e presuntuosi, non hanno timore di Dio e asseriscono di essere sempre buoni, con il fine di ingannare le persone. Nella loro opera, così come nella loro predicazione, non sono in grado di parlare di qualsiasi reale conoscenza delle parole del Signore o di qualsiasi esperienza pratica che sia di aiuto ad altre persone. Non importa per quanti anni li ascolti, non comprenderai mai nessuna verità e la tua vita non crescerà mai. Non hanno conoscenza di Dio o della Sua opera e, quando Dio Si fa carne negli ultimi giorni, per esprimere verità e svolgere la Sua opera di giudizio, Gli resistono ostinatamente, Lo condannano e Lo bestemmiano senza un briciolo di timore nei loro cuori. Che genere di vita hanno? Hanno in tutto e per tutto la vita di Satana. Sono proprio come i farisei, che conoscevano bene la Bibbia e pensavano di avere una fede sincera in Dio e di avere la vita, ma non conoscevano Dio e arrivarono a resistere al Signore, a condannarLo e a inchiodarLo alla croce. Questo ci dice che, per il solo fatto di conoscere la Bibbia, non significa che uno abbia necessariamente la verità e la vita. Le uniche persone ad avere la vita sono coloro che comprendono, praticano la verità e conoscono Dio, che hanno un cuore timorato e possono vivere secondo le parole di Dio. Quei pastori e anziani affermano di avere molta vita, e questo significa soltanto prendersi gioco dei credenti e ingannare sé stessi”.

 

Dopo avere ascoltato le parole di Dio Onnipotente e la spiegazione di sorella Wang, tutto divenne molto più chiaro nella mia mente: solo perché uno conosce bene la Bibbia e sa spiegarla, ciò non significa che comprenda la verità, conosca Dio o abbia la vita. Pensavo che le persone con ruoli importanti, che avevano studiato teologia o che avevano conoscenze bibliche avessero tutte molta vita. Ma ora comprendo che il mio punto di vista era totalmente assurdo. Sembra che le persone che non possiedono la verità siano incapaci di discernere e che, di conseguenza, vengano facilmente ingannate. Perciò, feci poi una domanda a sorella Wang: “Dio Onnipotente parla così bene. Tutto ciò che dobbiamo fare è leggere le Sue parole con attenzione e ci renderemo conto che quelle sono le parole di Dio, la Sua voce. Allora, come è possibile che i pastori e gli anziani non lo accettino e facciano addirittura del loro meglio per resistere a Dio e condannarLo?” Sorella Wang rispose: “Durante gli ultimi giorni, Dio è venuto e ha espresso tutte le verità di cui l’umanità corrotta ha bisogno per essere purificata e salvata. Queste verità sono la via della vita eterna che Dio ci ha donato. Se le persone leggeranno seriamente le parole di Dio, ammetteranno che quelle parole sono la verità, la vita e la via e che sono il fondamento e la guida per la sopravvivenza dell’umanità. Questo è un dato di fatto. Sebbene la maggior parte dei pastori e degli anziani resistano all’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni, la condannino e cerchino di impedire alle persone di leggere le parole di Dio Onnipotente, ciò non significa che non possano sentire in loro la Sua autorità e il potere. Alcuni pastori e anziani non sanno predicare nulla di utile e, quindi, rubano le parole di Dio Onnipotente e le predicano alle loro congregazioni, asserendo che sono illuminazioni che lo Spirito Santo ha offerto loro. Allora perché continuano a resistere a Dio Onnipotente e a condannarLo ostinatamente? Ciò ha a che fare con la loro natura e la loro sostanza, che li inducono a odiare la verità. Se ripensiamo a quando il Signore Gesù cominciò a svolgere la Sua opera, Egli manifestò molti miracoli, in particolare la resurrezione di Lazzaro e quando sfamò cinquemila uomini con cinque pani e due pesci, miracoli più sorprendenti per la gente in tutta la terra di Giudea. Perciò, all’epoca, molte persone comuni riconobbero dalle parole e dall’opera del Signore che Egli era il Messia. Ma i capi ebrei non accettarono il Signore Gesù; al contrario, Gli opposero resistenza e Lo condannarono e, alla fine, cospirarono insieme al governo romano per crocifiggerLo. Perché avvenne questo? Forse perché non riuscivano a sentire l’autorità e il potere nelle parole del Signore Gesù? No! Perché capirono che sempre più persone stavano accettando la via del Signore Gesù. Avevano paura che, se tutte le persone comuni avessero creduto nel Signore Gesù, poi nessuno li avrebbe seguiti o adorati e loro avrebbero perso il proprio prestigio e la propria fonte di sostentamento. Sapevano chiaramente che il Signore Gesù era Dio, eppure Gli opposero resistenza di proposito; ciò rivelò la loro essenza di anticristo, cioè la resistenza a Dio e l’odio per la verità. Il Signore Gesù li rimproverò aspramente, quando disse: ‘Ora invece cercate di uccidermi, perché vi ho detto la verità che ho udita da Dio’ (Giovanni 8:40). ‘Perché non comprendete il Mio parlare? Perché non potete dare ascolto alla Mia parola. Voi siete figli del diavolo, che è vostro padre, e volete fare i desideri del padre vostro. Egli è stato omicida fin dal principio e non si è attenuto alla verità, perché non c’è verità in lui’ (Giovanni 8:43-44). Attualmente, le parole di Dio Onnipotente hanno rivelato con estrema chiarezza la natura e l’essenza degli attuali capi della comunità religiosa. Dio Onnipotente disse: ‘Quelli che leggono la Bibbia in grandi chiese, recitano la Bibbia tutti i giorni ma non capiscono lo scopo dell’opera di Dio. Non uno è in grado di conoscere Dio; inoltre, nessuno è in sintonia con il cuore di Dio. Sono tutti uomini meschini e privi di valore, così boriosi da voler insegnare a Dio. Anche se brandiscono il nome di Dio, Gli si oppongono ostinatamente. Anche se si fregiano della definizione di credenti in Dio, sono quelli che mangiano la carne e bevono il sangue dell’uomo. Tutti questi uomini sono diavoli che divorano l’anima dell’uomo, capi demoni che volutamente disturbano coloro che cercano di percorrere la strada giusta, sono pietre di inciampo che impediscono il cammino di quanti cercano Dio. Anche se sono “fortemente carnali”, come fanno i loro seguaci a sapere che sono anticristi che guidano l’uomo a opporsi a Dio? Come fanno a sapere che sono diavoli vivi che cercano espressamente anime da divorare?’ (“Tutti coloro che non conoscono Dio sono coloro che si oppongono a Dio” in “La Parola appare nella carne”). Questi capi della comunità religiosa di oggi sono come i farisei di ieri: sebbene conoscano molto bene la Bibbia, non sanno assolutamente nulla dell’opera di Dio. Vedono che le parole di Dio Onnipotente vengono accettate da sempre più persone che bramano e cercano l’apparizione di Dio e hanno paura che, se tutti i credenti crederanno in Dio Onnipotente, allora nessuno li seguirà più o donerà loro denaro. Quindi, per proteggere la loro posizione e la loro fonte di sostentamento, con il pretesto di essere fedeli al Signore e di proteggere le Sue greggi, hanno fabbricato dicerie malevole di ogni sorta per resistere all’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni e condannarla ostinatamente e hanno fatto del loro meglio per impedire ai credenti di cercare e indagare la vera via. Perciò, possiamo vedere che i capi religiosi sono di fatto farisei che disprezzano e odiano la verità. Sono demoni che si nutrono delle anime della gente; sono anticristo che vengono rivelati dall’opera di Dio degli ultimi giorni”.

 

Dopo avere ascoltato le parole di Dio e la spiegazione della sorella, ebbi un’improvvisa illuminazione; annuii con il capo un paio di volte e dissi: “Ora mi è finalmente chiaro il motivo per cui quei pastori e anziani, sentendo che vi sono persone che recano testimonianza per il ritorno del Signore, non cercano né indagano la cosa, ma, al contrario, Lo condannano ostinatamente. Ora capisco perché quei pastori e anziani stanno gridando che mi stanno proteggendo e che sono preoccupati per la mia vita, quando, in realtà, stanno facendo del loro meglio per trattenermi e impedirmi di leggere le parole di Dio e trarre il nutrimento vitale da Dio. Tutto si deve al fatto che ogni cosa che fanno è per proteggere i loro interessi. Hanno paura che, se le persone cominceranno a seguire Dio Onnipotente, non ascolteranno i loro sermoni, né doneranno loro denaro; ecco perché impediscono alle persone di indagare la vera via. Sono davvero spregevoli e sono quasi riusciti a farmi perdere la mia occasione di salvezza. Ora che sono in grado di discernere meglio, mi rifiuterò di avere a che fare con loro. Indipendentemente da ciò che faranno per ostacolarmi, rimarrò sulle mie posizioni e seguirò Dio Onnipotente”. In seguito, non partecipai mai più agli incontri della mia Chiesa originaria.

 

Poco tempo dopo, due predicatori della mia confessione originaria vennero a casa mia. Uno di loro, il predicatore Zhang, mi disse: “Zia, perché non sei venuta agli incontri? Sei stata di nuovo in contatto con persone del Lampo da Levante? Qualsiasi cosa tu faccia, non convertirti alla loro fede. Se segui la loro fede, sei spacciata!” Con voce ferma, replicai: “Non ho ottenuto nulla dai miei incontri con voi, di recente; il mio stato d’animo è diventato sempre più cupo e non sono stata in grado di sentire la presenza del Signore. Ma, da quando ho cominciato a leggere le parole di Dio Onnipotente, il mio stato d’animo si è risollevato, io sto ora cominciando a comprendere delle verità e la mia vita riceve nutrimento. Sento che Dio è con me e che lo Spirito Santo sta operando in me. Ora sono certa che Dio Onnipotente è il ritorno del Signore Gesù e che le verità espresse da Dio Onnipotente sono l’acqua viva della vita. Solo le parole di Dio Onnipotente possono darmi nutrimento e, dovunque io possa ottenere la vita, lì è dove devo andare”. L’altro pastore, il predicatore Song, disse allora: “Siamo preoccupati per te. Abbiamo paura che ti allontani dalla retta via. Sei ancora immatura…” Le dissi: “Forse sono ancora immatura, ma Dio mi guiderà in ogni caso. Vi ringrazio della vostra cura, ma dovreste pensare alla vostra vita. La mia è nelle mani di Dio…” Quando ascoltarono ciò che avevo da dire, se ne andarono in un baleno. Mentre li vedevo scomparire in lontananza, provai un gran sollievo, come non mi era mai capitato. In seguito, ritornarono altre due volte, ma, vedendo che ero totalmente indifferente alle loro esortazioni, non tornarono più. Ringrazio Dio per avermi guidato e per avermi consentito di vedere le vere facce e i cuori malvagi di quei capi religiosi, di vedere le trappole di Satana e di trovare la via per uscire dalla confusione e fare ritorno a Dio. Ora ricevo l’acqua viva della vita e seguirò e adorerò sempre Dio Onnipotente!

Ⅰ

Chi è che continua a parlare all'umanità? Chi è che è sempre vigile, al fianco dell'uomo? È il nostro amato, Dio Onnipotente! Egli ha udito le grida impotenti provenire dai nostri cuori. Non può sopportare di vederci lottare sottomessi a Satana. È venuto per svelare verità negli ultimi giorni e salvare l'uomo. Ci sta richiamando a casa, vuole che cambiamo le nostre idee. Ci porta l'acqua della vita, le Sue parole nutrono il nostro cuore. Ci calma le ferite e guida sulla retta via. Cadiamo davanti a Lui e apriamo i nostri cuori. Le nostre lacrime sgorgano in riconoscenza, ricoprendo le nostre vesti. Gridiamo riconoscenti verso Dio Onnipotente. Oh, nostro amato! Nostro amato! Pensiamo a Te giorno e notte. Oh, nostro amato! Nostro amato! Grazie per la Tua salvezza che ci fa vivere con gioia davanti a Te. Nostro amato!

Ⅱ

Chi ha pronunciato parole di vita perché ne godessimo noi? Chi ci ha portato i tesori di Canaan? Il nostro amato, Dio Onnipotente! Ora siamo giunti al banchetto dell'abbondanza. La nostra vita cresce quando leggiamo le parole di Dio ogni giorno. Adoriamo con cuore puro, viviamo con gioia davanti a Lui. Ascolta le parole di Dio, così gentili e dolci. Sentiamo la Sua amorevolezza, non sopportiamo di starGli lontani. Le parole di giudizio e rivelazione di Dio, come una spada, rivelano la nostra satanica natura. Sarà forse doloroso, ma la corruzione è purificata. Ci rinnoviamo attraverso il giudizio e castigo. Oh, nostro amato! Nostro amato! Amiamo la Tua giustizia. Oh, nostro amato! Nostro amato! I nostri cuori son così colmi di riverenza e noi Ti amiamo così tanto. Oh, nostro amato! Nostro amato! Il Tuo amore è così splendido. Oh, nostro amato! Nostro amato! La Tua essenza è santa e perfetta. Possiamo noi amarTi per l'eternità! Nostro amato!

After finding out that my cousin has her own blog and having read her post on the use of fish sauce, I took this picture to personally vouch for the one that I use at home.

 

In her post she writes: "Fish sauce is not just for Asian dishes -- it deepens the taste of pretty much any cuisine." So true!

 

I use it as a "kakushi aji", or hidden taste, to bring out an element of umami (savoriness) in any dish needing support in that area.

 

It would seem on the surface that all fish sauces are alike, and certainly one is forgiven in believing that given that they all seem to be labeled alike. It sometimes seems as if half of them are named "Phu Quoc", the Vietnamese island reknowned for their fish sauce. (Even in the VN markets I don't think I ever came across a fish sauce imported from Vietnam. One will find that almost all fish sauce imported into the U.S. invariably comes from Thailand, as is the case with the one pictured here...)

 

And common advice on the internet says that price should be your guide. But it has been my experience that there's really no such thing as an expensive fish sauce - they all seem to be priced in a very narrow pricing range.

 

I stumbled upon this particular fish sauce after studying many ingredient labels, carefully avoiding the ones with the obvious additives, eyeing the depth and quality of color through their bottles, and blindly trying to divine which bottle spoke out to me as being the most true. But honestly it was just dumb luck. It turned out to be fantastic stuff, or at the very least the only fish sauce that actually tasted like how I (a non-VN gringo) thought a good fish sauce should taste like.

 

I would later find out that one of the key things to look for in a fish sauce is the word "nhi", which indicates that it's produced from the very first pressing of salted, fermented fish. In a way it's somewhat akin to the very first pressing of olives that results in an extra virgin olive oil (albeit without the fermented fish part!)...

 

Yes, though it may not sound very appetizing, fermented fish is a very good thing, beyond being easy fodder and a "gimme" for a Fear Factor producer. Even the ancient Romans had their own fish sauce called garum, albeit by the same people who undertook a massive infrastructure project just to deliver lead-tainted water.

 

Much closer to home and to our time, who hasn't heard of Worcestershire sauce, which is, essentially, a fermented fish sauce.

 

And then there's the joys of Edo Mae Nigiri Sushi, the process of its creation requiring the pressing of fish onto a small vinegared ball of rice. It is believed by many that an instant form of fermentation occurs in this contact area between fish and rice, rendering the fish proteins and hence subtly transforming its flavors. (Perhaps... ...and if one does not subscribe to that belief, at least one can be assured that the earlier forms of sushi involved well-fermented fish of the non-instant variety!)

Sprengel Museum Hannover

PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING!

09. October 2011 – 15. January 2012

  

Sprengel Museum HannoverSprengel Museum Hannover

IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE

LOWER SAXONY SAVINGS BANK FOUNDATION

 

PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! is an exhibition of the works of 31 photographers on a floor area of over 2,000 square metres. Since HOW YOU LOOK AT IT in 2000, this exhibition is the first and only one to provide an all-embracing overview of artistic photography from the 1960s to the present day. The exhibition has been organized by the Sprengel Museum Hannover in collaboration with the Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation. Starting out from the Foundation’s collection of large groups of works by both American and European photographers, the only collection of its kind in Europe, the exhibition explores the history and perspectives of the ‘documentary style’ of photography.

PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! constitutes yet a further step towards establishing Hanover as an important centre for artistic photography in the north of Germany.

 

The starting points of the exhibition are the works of Robert Adams, Diane Arbus, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, John Gossage, Nicholas Nixon, Martin Parr and Michael Schmidt. The artist photographers Rineke Dijkstra, Paul Graham, Thomas Struth and the photographers of the generations that followed, such as Jitka Hanzlová, Stephen Gill, Jochen Lempert, Elisabeth Neudörfl, Heidi Specker and Tobias Zielony, visualize the world with a style of photography that adheres strictly to the medium and yet is highly subjective. Max Baumann, Boris Mikhailov, Rita Ostrowskaja and Helga Paris extend the perspective with experiences of their own confrontations with different political systems, while Laura Bielau, Thomas Demand, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Wolfgang Tillmans and Jeff Wall use the documentary style of photography as a means of exemplifying the phenomena of visual perception. Many of the works are being exhibited for the very first time.

 

Integrated into the exhibition are three successive Project Rooms organized by three guest curators and each taking place for the duration of one month. They thematize three different methods of collecting and three different ways of using photography.

 

From 9.10. until 30.10.2011 the artist Thierry Geoffroy will investigate the idea behind the title of the exhibition – PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! – and ask: Who calls whom and what, and for what purpose, and out of what interests? On 1.11.2011 Markus Schaden will be setting up a study room devoted to the photography book as a ‘storage medium’ and collector’s item. From 6.12.2011 until 15.1.2012 Wilhelm Schürmann will be exposing the obsessions that can be the driving force behind a private collection of photographs, graphics, paintings and sculptures.

 

In the run-up to the exhibition HOW YOU LOOK AT IT at the Sprengel Museum Hannover, which was curated by Thomas Weski and Heinz Liesbrock on the occasion of EXPO 2000, the Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation began to purchase comprehensive groups of works by selected American and European photographers. Since then, the collecting activity of the Foundation has been focused on those works of photography that may be understood to be in the tradition of the ‘documentary style’ (Walker Evans, 1903-1975) and have been exercising a strong influence on photography since the end of the 1960s. Thus it has been possible – thanks not least to the recommendations of a high-calibre advisory board – to build up a photographic collection distinguished by its concentration on groups of works. In this regard the collection is unique in Europe.

 

The Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation’s collection and its perspective are now to be the subject of the present exhibition, which is being mounted jointly with the Sprengel Museum Hannover and also in the context of the Museum’s own well-cultivated photography tradition, which began in 1979 and can boast exhibitions of such great exponents of photography as Karl Blossfeldt, El Lissitzky, Judith Joy Ross and Michael Schmidt, to name only a few of many, or the “SPECTRUM” International Prize for Photography of the Foundation of Lower Saxony. ‘Collecting’ manifests itself here as an open system that operates self-reflexively in the aforementioned Project Rooms and is future-oriented and discussion-friendly in the exhibition’s supplementary events.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY CALLING! is accompanied by a copious publication (Steidl, Göttingen). Visitors will also be offered a comprehensive information programme.

 

The exhibition has been curated by Inka Schube, Curator for Photography and Media Art, Sprengel Museum Hannover, and Thomas Weski, Professor of “Curatorial Cultures”, Academy of Visual Arts, Leipzig.

Here is a link to my short tutorial for these on my blog palumbojewelry.blogspot.com/2011/12/silhouette-at-sunset-...

Introduction to AlgebraMathematics is a kind of subject without which any of the class syllabus is not furnished. It's the important topic and also the includes complex part of studies every time. Today we are going to take you on the ride of your journey throughout the schooling with mathematics but mainly we will discuss one of the mathematical branch rather than whole math content. Today's highlighted branch is Algebra, so let us start first with what Algebra is all about then go through the content which students need to learn till class 12th from their starting line. Algebra is preferred to be used as a tool to solve complex optimized techniques of solving mathematical queries. The problem is that Algebra is very vast itself, so until students not get aware from whole algebra concept till then he is not able to use its fundamentals as tool. Initial classes of students include introduction part of algebra and as they move towards their upper classes Algebra problems evaluation is the target for students and finally when they reach to 10 +2 class, that time their total past learning of algebra is needed to br compiled in a single form to implement the principles and formulas together in other applications solving.

El revestimiento para piletas es un aspecto muy importante a tratar, si deseamos contar con una piscina que sea atractiva y resistente. El implementar un correcto revestimiento de pileta será la herramienta clave para prevenir algas, hongos y bacterias; y además facilitará la limpieza. Por otro lado, el revestimiento de piscinas es un recurso muy utilizado para darle un acabado decorativo a las piletas, ya que hay muchas formas de hacerlo, con materiales muy bonitos, y mucha variedad de diseños posibles. Es en este punto donde debemos lucir nuestro sentido de la estética y poner en práctica el diseño más adecuado a nuestros gustos, ya que será el toque final que le daremos a la pileta.

   

Las piletas más comunes en la actualidad son las de hormigón, y son precisamente éstas las que principalmente requieren de un apropiado revestimiento. Antes, las piletas de hormigón eran utilizadas sin revestimiento, por lo que quedaba el material a la vista. Esto trae muchas desventajas ya que es un material que se desgrana fácilmente y en consecuencia ensucia el agua. La implementación de los revestimientos de piletas no sólo protege el agua de la suciedad que puede acumularse o desprenderse, sino que además protege su pileta de los rayos del sol. También los revestimientos impiden el deterioro que puede ocasionar a su pileta, el estar en constante contacto con el agua y los productos utilizados para su mantenimiento; y el desgaste que le proporciona el mero uso diario.

J'ai trouvé cet article écrit par un certain "Paul, basse" - il est remarquable de justesse - un bel hommage à Luc Guilloré.

airderien35.free.fr/Actu.html

 

Un « Vivement dimanche » avec… Luc Guilloré :

 

chanter pour « réveiller la terre » !

On me l’avait dit, mais de là à croire tout ce qu’on dit… « Moi, ce dimanche, m’avait glissé un copain ténor, ça fait des mois qu’il est sur mon agenda, et rien ne pouvait me le faire manquer ! » Le grand auditorium de l’IRTS est plein bien avant l’heure, ce 23 janvier 2005… Au coup d’envoi, nous sommes plus de 240, d’une quinzaine de chorales et de chœurs de la région de Rennes, pour vivre ensemble de la musique à journée pleine. Le virtuose est là, lui aussi, et les chefs de chœurs ou de pupitres se retrouvent élèves au même titre -ou presque, faut quand même pas exagérer !- que le plus novice des choristes… Luc Guilloré, maître de chœur dansant, mène la ballade, nous… baladant de voix en voix, jusqu’au plaisir de l’harmonie réinventée ! « Un choriste, qui chante bien, est beau comme un prince », lancera-t-il en fin de journée, presque comme pour s’excuser d’être si impérial dans sa manière -ô combien flamboyante !- de susciter de la beauté avec humour, finesse et tendresse.

 

Le novice que je suis est vite subjugué, entraîné, emporté par ce virtuose des accords chantés. Luc Guilloré ne reste pas en place, mais ne nous laisse pas tomber en plan, l’œil aussi vif que l’oreille pour détecter celle ou celui qui manque le dièse ou la croche et qu’il va remettre dans le ton sans avoir l’air d’y toucher… Un sacré pédagogue, ce baladin de la gavotte ! Car il prend son plaisir à donner du vrai bonheur à ceux-là même qui s’échinent à bien poser leur voix presqu’à l’unisson de leurs voisins de timbre !

  

L’heure est à la sauvegarde du patrimoine. Et l’artiste se fait historien, conteur, plaideur. Des centaines de milliers de chansons, argumente-t-il, serpentent dans nos campagnes. Elles sont aujourd’hui à cueillir, à recueillir et à refaire vivre. Des chants pour travailler, des chants pour marcher, des chants pour bercer, des chants pour prier, des chants pour danser. « Quand on invite des chorales étrangères, elles nous offrent toujours un beau bouquet, où se mêlent du grand classique et les chants du terroir. Pourquoi ne pas en faire autant chez nous ? » A nous de chanter !

  

Et voilà une chanson de mariage de Camoël, dans le Morbihan : « J’entends dans le bocage le rossignol joli. » Les sopranes, les altos, les ténors, les basses, tour à tour, défrichent une terre depuis longtemps labourée et dont, pourtant, ils découvrent toute la beauté, comme une aube de printemps au sortir de l’hiver... Les voix bientôt se répondent et tissent la mélodie. C’est beau. Au passage, Luc Guilloré s’est fait rossignol, ciselant les notes, les unes après les autres, dans un phrasé évocateur de nuances et de légèreté. Cette chanson promet le bonheur : « De ce jour plein de charme, dépend votre avenir (…) Vous aurez pour vous un ami… » Et le maître des chœurs de dévoiler comme il est bon de savoir poser un « i », sans en faire un « u » pourtant si proche. Du beau travail, l’artiste !

 

Et l’on se met à danser, promenade et gavotte enchaînées de Basse-Bretagne : avec « Venez-vous en, ma Mignonne », le rythme s’endiable, la fantaisie s’impose. Il ne faut pas manquer le top de départ : « Hé ! pour se mettre en train, que voulez-vous qu’on chante, sinon ce gai refrain qui toujours nous enchante ? » L’encyclopédiste évoque les danses tribales de Sibérie, où l’on frappe le sol, à l’entrée du dégel, « pour réveiller la terre », explique-t-il. Réveiller la terre ! Tout un programme pour ces 240 choristes de la région de Rennes : voilà un « Vivement dimanche » qui risquerait bien d’avoir des lendemains étonnants. Pourquoi pas ? Rendez-vous l’an prochain, pour fêter les trente ans de maîtrise d’un autre chef de chœur, Robert Tireau, né lui aussi « pour réveiller la terre ». Même les novices, avec de tels réveils, se sentent pousser des âmes de princes !

Alfred Mongy

Le Grand Boulevard

Après son départ des services municipaux, il réalise avec Arthur Stoclet le grand projet de la percée du Grand Boulevard entre Lille, Roubaix et Tourcoing. Avec les ingénieurs Roger Francq et Léon Francq, Alfred Mongy est l'un des fondateurs en 1900 de la Compagnie des Tramways et Voies Ferrées du Nord, qui met en œuvre la construction du Grand Boulevard de Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing. Le projet paraît démesuré à l'époque, mais le 5 décembre 1909, le boulevard, large de 50 m, est inauguré13. Ce boulevard accueille sur deux voies, conçues par l'ingénieur Léon Francq, un tramway électrique rapide qui sera surnommé « le Mongy ». De nombreuses modifications ont été apportées mais deux lignes du Mongy existent toujours actuellement avec quelques mises en souterrain aux passages cruciaux.

Distinction :

Alfred Mongy est nommé chevalier dans l'ordre national de la Légion d'honneur en 1892 et fait officier d'académie en 1880 puis officier de l’instruction publique en 1887.

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Mongy

 

Alfred Mongy fut ingénieur de la ville de Lille puis du Département et fondateur de l'ELRT (le tramway de l'Electrique Lille Roubaix Tourcoing).

Né en 1840 et mort en 1914, cet ingénieur est surtout célèbre pour l'ouverture le 4 décembre 1909 du Grand Boulevard qui relie Lille à Roubaix et Tourcoing et du tramway qui y circule. En quelques années, le projet fut réalisé, grâce aux travaux menés par Alfred Mongy, à qui l'on doit cette métonymie célèbre et employée au quotidien par des milliers de voyageurs: "Je vais prendre le Mongy". En effet, si les rames utilisées aujourd'hui ont remplacé les anciennes, il n'empêche que le tracé du tramway actuel est quasiment le même que celui qui avait été décidé à l'époque.

Alfred Mongy

Le journal Le Progrès du Nord et du Pas-de-Calais dans son n° 339 de son édition du dimanche 5 décembre 1909, relate ainsi l'inauguration des nouvelles lignes de tramways du Grand Boulevard Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing.

Effectivement il peut paraître assez étonnant qu'Alfred Mongy ait été absent lors de l'inauguration de "Son" Grand Boulevard le 4 décembre 1909.

Mais il sera présent le dimanche suivant pour l'inauguration de "Son" tramway.

The Ford Rotunda was originally built as an exhibit building for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. After the close of the Fair, the building was taken apart and shipped to Dearborn, and reassembled on Rotunda Drive, across from the Central Office Building (the "World Headquarters" for that time period). During the year, the Company would have various automotive exhibits for the public and local school children. Tragically, while making roof repairs on Friday, November 9th, 1962, the hot tar roof ignited, and before the fire department could arrive, the building was pretty much destroyed. A sad day in Ford history, and a loss to the children and families who visited regularly.

In 2014 I started working on a design for our #BritArmyAndFriends reunion at #SpaceFestVI

www.spacefest.info/VI/Over.html

 

Here is the collection of my brainstorming and the design process:

My latest design features the #NebraSkydisk - one of the most beautiful, astronomical artefacts ever found - until today.

This is the oldest-known image of our cosmos so far, with an estimated age of 3600 years (!!!), the earliest known diagram of the heavens, which makes it one or may be THE most important archaeological discovery of the twenty-first century.

It was discovered on July 4th 1999 near the city of Nebra in Germany and since then fascinates not only the experts.

I have to admit that I fell in love with this beauty as soon as I heard about it several years ago.

And I always wanted to paint it one day.

So what better match could there be than combining this masterpiece, created by stargazers several thousand years ago, who loved observing (and already started understanding) our night sky,

with #SpaceFestVI, which will bring people together again, who come from all around the world to share their love of space and our beautiful blue marble … ?!

#OnceUponATime

One year ago, in April 2013 I was looking forward to an amazing event.

A group of #SpaceTweeps was planning to meet in Tucson / Arizona for #SpaceFestV ( www.spacefest.info/V/Astro.html )

Some of us had met each other in person earlier, some on Facebook several months in advance in a group called the #BritArmyAtSpacefest and some #HonoraryMembers joined our group at #SpaceFest itself.

 

This event turned out even better than I (and I guess many of us) ever could have imagined!

Meeting like-minded people with a great diversity of backgrounds and professions from literally all over the world in the middle of Arizona and sharing with them at least 4 days, while being amongst some of the most remarkable #SpaceLegends #MoonWalkers #MeteoriteMen #AsteroidHunters #Scientists and other #SPACEHOLIX was unforgettable.

Since that time our group is in regular contact (mostly via social media) and as we didn't want to wait a whole year for #SpaceFestVI , we got together again in November 2013 to share another great event:

We enjoyed our #ItIsStonegengeReunionOClock where our group of about 20 people had the pleasure to getting exclusive access in a private tour to the inner circle of the stones during sunset.

Surrounded by many other highlights and #MiniTweetups in UK this was a brilliant weekend.

Since then we are looking forward to our next reunion at #SpaceFestVI which will take place in Pasadena / California in May 2014 ( www.spacefest.info/VI/Astros.html )

 

What I had started in 2013 after getting back to painting after a very long time,

became kind of a tradition in the meantime:

Inspired by several #Space- and #ScienceTweetups I painted logos for every event I attended

and got them printed on badges for all participants and also some on t-shirts etc.

 

And 2013 has been quite a ride :-)

Barry Bonds & The Flickr Effect - The End Of Iconography.

Catedral de El Burgo de Osma

www.lafronteradelduero.com/Paginas/el_burgo_de_osma.html

 

La Catedral de El Burgo de Osma, bajo la advocación de Santa María de la Asunción, es el resultado de una sucesión secular de actuaciones constructivas que van desde los primeros años del siglo XII, cuando se levantó el primitivo templo románico, hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII en que se dio remate a la torre barroca. Aunque conserva escasos elementos de la obra románica y luce añadidos renacentistas, barrocos y neoclásicos, lo que predomina en el conjunto catedralicio son las construcciones góticas llevadas a cabo en diversos periodos.

La Catedral burguense fue declarada Monumento Nacional el 3 de junio de 1931, y «entorno de protección» por Decreto 84/99, de 22 de abril, de la Comunidad de Castilla y León. Comparte la sede episcopal desde 1959 con la concatedral de San Pedro de Soria.

 

Apunte histórico

Osma es sede episcopal al menos desde 597, fecha en la que está documentado que su obispo, Juan, tomó parte en el Concilio doce de Recaredo. De esta época visigoda no se conserva vestigio arqueológico alguno referido al templo catedralicio que se ubicaría en la antigua Uxama. Tras el lapso de tres siglos de ocupación musulmana (s.VIII al X) y otro más de repoblación y consolidación del dominio cristiano, en 1101 se restauró la diócesis bajo los auspicios de la Sede Metropolitana de Toledo. En esa fecha tomó posesión de la silla episcopal el que fue su primer titular en esta segunda y definitiva era diocesana: Pedro de Bourges (San Pedro de Osma).

 

Por entonces, no sólo se había abandonado la antigua Úxama, emplazada ahora en el llano con el topónimo de Osma, sino que se estaba desarrollando un burgo o barrio al otro lado del río Ucero en el que existía una iglesia benedictina con culto a San Miguel. Ese fue el lugar elegido para levantar la nueva catedral en el estilo arquitectónico imperante en los albores del siglo XII: el románico. No hay noticia cierta de cuándo se comenzó la construcción de este templo pero es de presumir que fuese durante el episcopado de Pedro de Osma, es decir, entre los años 1101 y 1109. En todo caso, los rasgos estilísticos de lo poco que de él ha quedado no dejan lugar a duda de que proceden de principios de dicho siglo. Los obispos sucesores de Pedro que regirían la diócesis a lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo XII -Raimundo, Beltrán y Esteban- debieron ser los continuadores de la obra y quienes la llevaron a término, pues parece que quedó concluida a mediados de siglo.

 

Corta vida le esperaba a la flamante catedral. En 1231 accedió a la sede episcopal oxomense Juan Díaz de Medina (a quien se nombra con frecuencia como Juan Domínguez), Canciller de Fernando III el Santo. Este prelado, que provenía de la Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor de Valladolid de la que fue abad en los años anteriores (1219-1230) y que él mismo había reconstruido por entero, debió entender que la prematuramente obsoleta iglesia románica no poseía las dimensiones ni la funcionalidad que los nuevos tiempos demandaban y, experimentado como era en la construcción de grandes templos, decidió en 1232, y así lo puso en práctica, derribar la «vieja» catedral y erigir otra ajustada a los cánones góticos, al modo como se estaba haciendo en Burgos, en Cuenca o en Toledo. No obstante, la piqueta demoledora respetó el claustro y la sala capitular.

 

Las obras del templo gótico se prolongaron durante más de un siglo, siendo el obispo Bernabé quien a mediados del XIV logró darles fin. El resultado fue una iglesia de planta de cruz latina con tres naves de cinco tramos, transepto de cuatro tramos además del crucero, presbiterio de dos tramos, ábside principal y cuatro capillas absidales, dos a cada lado, sobre el muro oriental del transepto de forma parecida a las del monasterio cisterciense de Santa María de Huerta. El conjunto gótico se completó a principios del siglo XVI con la sustitución del claustro románico por el actual gótico tardío adosado al muro de la nave septentrional. El derribo del primero se llevó a cabo en 1505; de él se salvaron algunos capiteles y la arquería del frente de la sala capitular. Algunos años después, durante el mandato del obispo Pedro Álvarez de Acosta (1550-1554), se realizó el retablo mayor, obra de Juan de Juani y Juan Picardo.

 

El siglo XVIII fue pródigo en obras y reformas. En 1767 se finalizó la torre en su tercer intento, pues dos anteriores habían fracasado por derrumbe. La cabecera de la iglesia sufrió importantes alteraciones, primero por la construcción de la girola y de la capilla mayor, y luego por la incorporación de la sacristía y la capilla del venerable Palafox. La reforma de la capilla mayor se debió a Juan de Villanueva, lo mismo que la construcción de la sacristía (1770) y el proyecto de la capilla de Palafox (1772), si bien la ejecución de esta última obra le cupo a Sabatinni entre los años 1778 y 1783.

Our Lady of Lourdes & St Joseph, Leigh on Sea, Essex

 

Blog page

I passed OLoL&SJ (apologies for the acronym) on my way to St Clement and had to stop. This RC church had fallen off my radar and would have been missed had it not been so arresting.

Built in the 1920's to the design of the parish priest, Fr FW Gilbert, it stands as his personal testament to God. Full of good period glass, a very Catholic reredos, lectern and rood; unusually a SE tower but, to my mind, the most exceptional feature is the Lady Chapel which is a scaled replica of Lourdes.

A rich priest's homage to Gothic architecture with a distinct Catholic twist - I wish this was my parish church!

Neither Pevsner nor Mee covered it (inherent anti Catholicism at work?) so Taking Stock instead:

An idiosyncratic Gothic church of the 1920s, very much a personal work by the parish priest Fr F. W. Gilbert, but closely following the design of Charles Nicholson’s church of St Alban at Westcliff-on-Sea. The church was sympathetically extended in the 1960s. The interior is rich in fittings, some designed by Fr Gilbert.

The original church (now the parish hall) began life as a timber-framed, corrugated iron drill hall, originally built for the Essex Volunteers in 1900 under the supervision of Major Burles and purchased in 1913. The site of the present church was purchased by the Rev. F.W. Gilbert in 1924, using donations and his private money. It appears that Fr Gilbert acted as his own architect, his design borrowing heavily from that of the Anglican church of St Alban the Martyr at Westcliff-on-Sea, built in 1898-1908 from designs by Nicholson & Corlette. The Gilbert family promised £2,000 once building work commenced. The contract price was £12,234. The builders were Messrs Marshall & Smith of Grays but Fr Gilbert acted as his own clerk of works, using local labour, including unemployed men from Grays. The foundation stone was laid on 7 October 1924 and the church opened in September 1925. The presbytery was built in 1925.

The church was sympathetically extended in 1965-66 by Burles, Newton & Partners, in the same style and materials; the west wall was moved twenty feet further out to create a choir gallery, west door and porch and a baptistery with organ chamber above. Proposals to replace the old hall with a new and larger building were prepared in 2007 but have not yet been implemented.

The church is a large and handsome structure in a free Gothic style. The walls are faced with random rubble with stone dressings. Apparently much of the stone was quarried near Glasgow and was originally used as ballast in lighters intended for the Gallipoli campaign, which were later bought by a local ship owner, who donated the stone for the building of the church. The roof is covered in plain tiles. On plan the church comprises a long nave and sanctuary under a continuous roof swept down over north and south aisles, southwest porch, northwest organ chamber, southeast double transept and southeast tower. The gabled west end is Burles & Newton’s work of the 1960s and has a broad straight-headed doorway flanked by small trefoiled windows with a large six-light traceried window above. On the north side is a tall transeptal organ chamber and then the low side wall of the north aisle with three pairs of small trefoiled windows. On the south side is a small projecting porch and then the low side wall of the south aisle, a double transept with three-light traceried windows in the gabled ends and then the bold square south east tower. The tower is of three stages with a traceried two-light window on the south side of the lowest stage and pairs of small openings in the two stages above. The tower has a single large diagonal buttress at the southeast corner, crenellated flint-faced parapets and a tiled spirelet. The east end wall of the sanctuary is articulated with three round-headed blind arches. This wall fronts the garden of the large presbytery which is attached to the northeast corner of the church, and the church and presbytery together form a strong architectural composition.

The interior walls are all plastered and painted with plain flooring of timber. There is a west gallery in the 1960s extension and nave arcades of four bays of simple pointed chamfered arches on square chamfered concrete piers. Above each pier the nave is spanned by the tie beams of the roof and above them is a five-sided timbered ceiling. The aisles have lean-to roofs and are also timbered. The east bay on the south side is a small transept. There is no chancel arch in the usual sense, but the division between nave and sanctuary is marked by pilaster strips on the walls with a rood beam at half- height and a timber rib spanning the roof between them. The sanctuary has a single large open arch on each side and is richly furnished. The east wall in particular is lined to full-height with carved decoration. The floor is black and white marble. On the south side of the sanctuary is a second transept divided from the first by a double arch resting on dwarf double columns with ornamental Gothic capitals. In the east wall of this transept a chamfered pointed arch leads to the base of the tower which contains a Lourdes grotto.

The church is rich in fittings. These include the carved timber reredos filling the whole east wall, the extraordinary pulpit with figures of evangelists supported by cherubs, apparently designed by Fr Gilbert, who also designed the figures of the rood beam, the elaborate oak stalls in the sanctuary and the font at the west end of the nave given in memory of Col. Knight (d.1891) with its stone bowl on clustered columns and a surrounding floor of Cosmati work.

There is some stained glass in the church including the west window by Whitefriars and other windows by Goddard & Gibbs. The scale model of the Lourdes grotto was built by Cyril Psaila (d. 1931).

Since 2001 we have been trying to find Digiscope solutions, from the perfect camera, adapters, lenses, eyepieces, scopes and mounting systems. Now we have great camera, lenses, eyepieces Super Scopes and mounting systems. To my way of thinking Adapters have always been a challenge and the weakest link in Digiscoping. The Manufactures of the adapters have been camera brand specific, over engineered, or have depended on the filter threads of a camera or camera lens to support totally the weight of the camera. No Good, I promise that no lens manufacture would recommend that. Referring to the term “over engineered” I am referring to adapters like the swing models. Personally I believe that they lack support for the camera and seem to be easily damaged while in the field. The new ATX/STX Swarovski seems to have corrected the major concern of camera support, not depending of the filter threads to support the camera system unlike the DCA or the DA-10 from Kowa what I currently use. I have broken in half 4 lenses in the past years using those systems before I tried Support Brackets like the TSN-DA3. Support brackets are great; the scope, eyepiece, adapter and camera are now one secure solid piece if one can remember to lock everything down. I have to confess that due to my negligence of not checking to see if everything was tightened I have send a Scope in for repair and ruined an expensive DSLR when it smashed on the asphalt road. Weight is another issue. The Kowa TSN-DA3 Digiscope Support Bracket weighs 2.58 pounds. The one I own went to a machine shop and all none structural Aluminum was milled away cutting the weight to just over 2 pounds. Some of my days in the field carry me 8 or more miles walking. So like a back packer every pound counts. Up until now the TSN-DA3 was very important to keep my kit functioning and secure. So I carried that 2 + additional pounds.

At the Space Coast Festival two different people showed me a new Adapter. Angie “just a birder” bought one she is excited and bragging about hers. It was of high quality machined Aluminum that will work with 4/3 camera as well as some DSLR and P&S cameras. A minor sleeve change (inner ring) and it will adapt to any spotting scope eyepiece. It is not expensive and best of all the weight of the camera stresses the scope not the filter threads of the lens. There for a support bracket is not necessary, cutting my carry weight 2+ pounds. I ordered one.

Yesterday I received my Digidapter. I watched the video on www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVGfQTd8UPQl for quick assembly instructions. I inspected it for deficits like over engineering or a key feature not considered. I could not any faults. It was designed for quality, for the speed and smoothness in mounting the camera on a scope coming back to same position each time without adjustment or alignment.

•The fasteners are of the highest quality, brass and stainless.

•The screw design for mounting the camera in the tripod mount is superior.

•The brass stop screws on the mounting plate are designed for finger tightening, no fear of stripping the brass parts from over tightening. The camera comes back to the same spot every time.

•The elevation plate has milled slots so only the provided Allen key is necessary to lock the camera in place.

•The camera does not have to be removed from the Digidapter to replace batteries and flash cards. .

• Coupling the camera to the eyepiece is a breeze. Close tolerance machining and the highest quality anodizing is why it is smooth and easy.

•To change from one scope manufacture to another or if the eyepiece is different in size all that is needed is a different inner ring, all of the other parts will remain the same. This means for those scope owners that would like a functional adapter for a Pentax, Celestron, Vortex or Vanguard scope it is now available at a reasonable price.

•Overall, it is solid and functional, easy to use, returns to the same position with each mounting. No binding, pieces glide together, no effort. Precision and effortless in use, protecting the camera and eyepiece from stress damage. No adapter that I have seen mounts the camera and has it ready to shoot faster, safer and with more precision.

•The Digidapter is the best I have seen.

The big question at the Space Coast Festival was would the new 20mm f/1.7 ll ASPH Lumix lens works with this adapter. That lens is short like a Pancake lens but it is about 2 inches in diameter. I phoned my order to Paul Sayegh the owner and designer of the Digidapter. We spent hours on the phone discussing the 4/3s and some of the unique lenses that this system is creating. I had the lens in hand with a pair of dial calipers. I measured and re-measured the key points of the lens and measurement in relation to the camera. I took and then emailed to Paul the photos of the GX 7 and lens and added the measurement to the photos. After receiving the photos we talked again and at Paul’s request I re-measured everything once more. In three days I received my Digidapter and it was perfect.

Paul is an engineer, a designer, a communicator and a great machinist with an advanced knowledge of stress and tolerances. Paul is a big lens photographer that found Digiscoping and knows the importance of Digiscoping as a tool in photography. Digidapter and Paul Sayegh deserve our support.

En esta ocasión tenemos imágenes de amor con frases muy románticas para expresar lo que sientes en tu corazón. Cuando una encuentra el amor, y este es correspondido de la mejor forma, no hay nada que se le compare a la felicidad que se puede sentir. Hay que estar agradecidas de tener al lado a alguien que se encarga hacerlo muy feliz.

 

Amor… Eres el hombre que poco a poco, con cada detalle, gesto y palabra se fue robando mi corazón y ahora es solo tuyo.

 

Amor… Eres mi presente y futuro: anhelo en mis días estar siempre contigo; sueño con despertar juntos y enamorados.

 

Amor… Gracias mi vida porque nunca dudas en tomar mi mano cuando sabes que más necesito de ti…

 

Mi vida… Tú eres la persona más importante de todo el mundo para mi porque a tu lado he encontrado la verdadera felicidad.

 

Amor… Si tuviera que volver a comenzar mi vida, intentaría encontrarte mucho antes…

 

Amor… Te amo más de lo que piensas, más de lo que te digo y sobre todo más de lo que te demuestro.

 

Amor… Qué bonito es decir que soy solo tuya.

 

Mi vida… Prometo amarte apasionadamente, en todas las formas ahora y siempre. Prometo nunca olvidar que este es un amor para toda la vida y saber siempre en lo profundo de mi alma, sin importar qué nos pueda separar, nos volveremos a encontrar el uno al otro.

 

Cariño… Tú vales la pena, la alegría, la espera, la distancia, los momentos, las lágrimas, las risas, los días y noches. Tú lo vales todo para mi.

 

Amor mio… Eres el hombre que amo y con quien quiero compartir mi vida. Soy dichosa de tenerte junto a mi.

 

No hay nada más bonito que alguien te diga que ocupas un lugar muy importante en su corazón, por eso seria buena ideas que puedas compartir estas imágenes de amor con esa persona tan especial, para decirle lo dichosa que eres al tenerlo en tu vida.

Juan Manuel Fangio

 

"Juan Manuel Fangio (Balcarce, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, 24 de junio de 1911 – Buenos Aires, Argentina, 17 de julio de 1995) fue un automovilista de velocidad argentino. Es considerado para muchos expertos como uno de los mejores pilotos profesionales del automovilismo mundial de todos los tiempos, incluso el mejor, por haber logrado cinco títulos mundiales de Fórmula 1 durante las temporadas de 1951, 1954, 1955, 1956 y 1957, y los subcampeonatos de 1950 y 1953."

Trayectoria

 

"Carrera Panamericana de México 1953 - (Fangio) Nro. 36 - Ganador

12 Horas de Sebring 1954 (con Castellotti/Fangio) - Nro 36 - Abandonó

RAC Tourist Trophy Circuito de Ards - Belfast - Irlanda 1954 (con Taruffi/Piodi/Fangio) Nro 3 - Segundo (Castellotti/Fangio comenzaron la carrera con un Lancia D25 - Nro. 2 - cambiaron de máquina por rotura de motor)

 

La Panamericana reunió en un convenio muy especial a Juan Manuel Fangio y a Gianni Lancia.

 

Aunque Fangio estaba corriendo carreras Sport para Maserati, como ésta no se presentaría para la competencia de México, le dio libertad para que corriese para Lancia en la última prueba del Primer Campeonato Mundial de Marcas."

LA AVENTURA TÉCNICA DEL "D24 - Carrera"

 

"La evolución mas saliente que tuvo la "D24" fue el relativo a su chasis, al motor y ala posición de varios de sus componentes.

 

El motor de 3284 cc - 88 x 90 mm- con potencia variable de 245 a 6200 RPM a 265 CV a 6500 RPM, fue transformado luego de su participación en Nürburgring, a carter seco. Le redujeron la distancia entre ejes de 2600 mm a 2400 mm, adoptando el puente De Dion que pasaba sobre la caja de cambio, doble elástico cantilever y bieletas paralelas superiores. Un tanque de aceite estaba bajo el guardabarros trasero derecho. Un tanque de combustible centrado sobre la parte posterior trasera de 110 litros era suplementado por otro de 50 litros para los casos de competiciones de largo kilometraje. La tracción mejoró con el agregado de un diferencial autoblocante a disco, del tipo ZF.

 

Resultó esta una unidad de buena tenida, maniobrabilidad y frenaje, fue preparado para la IV Carrera Panamericana de Méjico - 1953 ganada por Juan Manuel Fangio, en su versión de motor de 3100 cc - 80 x 85 mm - para dar mayor fiabilidad ante una tan larga competencia."

Carrera Panamericana

 

"La Carrera Panamericana, también llamada la Carrera (the Carrera, en inglés)1 , la Panamericana o solamente la Pana, es un evento deportivo de automovilismo tipo rally organizado anualmente a través de la República Mexicana.

Su historia se divide en dos etapas, la antigua u original, que se efectuó de 1950 a 1954, y la moderna, que se organiza desde 1988 hasta esta fecha. En la etapa actual la participación de modelos de automóviles se divide en 4 grupos y 9 categorías.6

 

El director de la división deportiva de Mercedes Benz en los años 50, el alemán Alfred Neubauer llegó a considerar la Carrera como una mezcla de las 24 Horas de Le Mans, la Mille Miglia, el Gran Premio de Trípoli y el autódromo Nürburgring.

La prueba atrajo la participación de las principales marcas de autos deportivos europeos como Ferrari, Porsche, Lancia, Talbot, Mercedes-Benz, Pegaso y Alfa Romeo."

1953

 

"La Carrera Panamericana de 1953 se caracterizó por los grandes accidentes.

El Lancia de Bonetto chocaba contra un muro en el pueblo de Silao Guanajuato, luego de haber brincado excesivamente rápido un vado que no estaba debidamente señalizado, y falleció.

Antonio Stagnoli y Giuseppe Scotuzzi sufren un pinchazo en su Ferrari en la zona de Oaxaca, que les provoca una espectacular salida que los obliga a abandonar.

Pegaso participó en esa edición con un coupé construido específicamente para la carrera, de portón trasero y barras contra zopilotes en el parabrisas.

 

La carrera fue dominada en esta edición por Lancia con su D24, un vehículo especialmente diseñado para la Panamericana, cuyo motor de 6 cilindros en V de 3096 cc, disponía de una potencia de 226CV con un peso total en su conjunto de 760 kg, con el cual consigue las tres primeras plazas de la prueba, ocupadas, respectivamente, por el argentino Juan Manuel Fangio, aun sin haber ganado ninguna etapa, y los Italianos Taruffi y Castellotti."
