Jasper Johns. (American, born 1930). Map. 1961. Oil on canvas, 6' 6" x 10' 3 1/8" (198.2 x 314.7 cm). Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Scull. © 2008 Jasper Johns / Licensed by VAGA, New York
Reflecting on his choice of easily recognizable images, Johns said that he was interested in "the idea of knowing an image rather than just seeing it out of the corner of your eye." The map of the United States, in its ubiquity and iconicity, is "seen and not looked at, not examined." Preserving the overall proportions of the country and the shape of its states, Johns's energetic application of paint
subverts the conventions of cartography, as do the stenciled names of states, such as Colorado, which is repeated in several locations. Map invites close inspection because its content is both familiar and imaginary.
Mind Map. Resumen del Libro El Poder de la Inteligencia Creativa

A map of London and environs, dated 1852. This area is now part of Greater London. At the time, it comprised the City of London, City of Westminster, and parts of the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, and Kent.
The built-up area in 1852 was not much greater than what is now called Central London, with part of the East End. There was not much development west of Mayfair, which had many of the aristocratic mansions.
One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. One feature of the map is the railroad lines entering London. Four of the main stations had already been built. Euston was first built in 1837, and rebuilt in something like its present form in 1849. Paddington was opened in 1838, and was rebuilt in 1854. Waterloo was opened in 1848, and took its present form in 1922. Kings Cross was opened in 1852.
Other important stations which had not yet been built were Victoria (1860), Charing Cross (1864), St. Pancras (1868), and Liverpool Street (1874). Other stations are on the map, but I presume that they have since disappeared.
The map was made by George Cox, and published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It seems appropriate to geotag it with St. Paul's Cathedral.

Immigrants do not "take" jobs, because there is not a set number of jobs in society. Every worker--included undocumented workers--creates the need for more jobs, for more goods and services.
Anti-immigrant bashing is an attempt to divert from the reality that the banks and corporations are trying to force an already impoverished class to pay for this capitalist economic crisis by using divide and conquer campaigns. This neo-fascist organizing is fueled by white supremacy.
There are no borders in the workers' struggle: Workers united will never be defeated!

Saturday 05 May 2012: Tevfik's House - Köprülu Canyon - Eurymedon Roman Bridge (Oluk Köprü) / Köprüçay River - Aspendos - Antalya
Although we were due to have a relatively late and leisurely breakfast, I was awake not long after 6am - and a peer through the curtains revealed cloud right down to the river. Decidedly errie. But by 8.30 breakfast time, the sun was out and the skies were blue - and indeed we had great weather all day.
Leaving Tefvik's House, we walked along a narrow path through the woods that come down to the river in this stretch of the Köprülu Canyon - indeed, with the river running high, some of the trees were under water. Still, all the water made for exciting excusions out onto the rocks in a couple of places during the morning, including the famous viewpoint over the Canyon just above the Oluk Roman Bridge, which turned out to be disappointingly modern in its reinforcement, and just down stream hordes of holiday makers were setting off on their white knuckle river rafting adventures.
A lovely lunch at a shady fish restaurant on the banks of the river Köprüçay, before travelling on to the famous ruins at Aspendos. They may be famous, but they weren't my favourite by a long way. Too many people, too much hassle, not enough wow factor. A well preserved theatre, but everything else is decidedly disappointing, although the aqueduct is impressive and the souvenir sellers surprisingly relaxed.
Back in Antalya, a quick bag drop in our (new) rooms at the Mediterra Art Hotel, then an hour seeing the sights with Mike: Hadrian's Gate, the narrow streets and old houses of Kaleiçi, the Hıdırlık Tower keeping watch over the coast and the harbour, the famous fluted minaret of Alaaddin Camii and the broken minaret of Kesik Minare.
After a long awaited wash and brush up / shave for some of the chaps / Gin and Tonic, we headed off into the night for our final group dinner in the courtyard of the Parlak restaurant, followed by a few more beers / rakis close to the hotel watching Saturday night life, Antalya-style.
A day of abrupt changes; this lovely trip had come to an end far too fast.
