This past year Mateo recorded the film for the Academy Award-nominated “Juno” Inspired by the loss of a friend's daughter, Mateo made it his mission to raise money for uncompensated care at Seattle Children's. The journey began eleven years ago and continues today with Mateo producing extraordinary annual benefit concerts. In 2008 it took place at Benaroya Hall in Seattle.
Mateo: “While on the journey of unfolding what An American Symphony would sound like, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to a photographer I have come to admire. He sees our American landscape a little different than the rest of us. His portrayal of America is beautiful, immeasurable, and each image holds a surreal quality. I've worked with Gavin Farrell to handpick each image to be displayed across the entire backdrop of the symphony hall synchronized with each performance.”
Gavin: WHAT A NIGHT! So many talented musicians and artists; they actually had to extend the length of the stage: Symphony composer Mateo Messina, the band Eisley, the Evan Sisters, Matthew Schoening, the North West Symphony, the Pacific Children’s Chorus, the North-West Chorale, The Whittier Elementary School Choir, the Total Experience Gospel Choir, Mariah McManus, and it felt like the entire city of Seattle was there! I was honored that my work could be a part of this amazing experience.
Nominated for an award in 2009. Whilst it is excellent to have more public art, using good materials by accomplished artists, a question was asked: is it in the best place?
The project was launched in February 2008 with great support from James Hehir, chief executive of Ipswich Borough Council. The plan was to erect a permanent memorial to the Prince who was killed when his Hawker Hurricane crashed at Martlesham Heath Airfield in 1940. He was 24 years old when he died and was buried in Ipswich New Cemetery.

“I nominate,” Rapidamente en Uno said, pausing for affect, “El Bronce.” en Uno’s announcement was met with whistles - - both pro and con! Even before the noise could die down, El Viejo flapped his way to the Podium Branch.
In the Golden Eagle Conclave, the debate was about to be begin. This was, or at least could be, the most important day in El Bronce’s life, for if the election went his way he would become “Master of the Sky” for the next five years. And, as the Golden Eagle is the National Bird of Mexico, it would mean that he would be considered the most fantastic fowl in Mexican airspace! Finally, this was the first time ever that an Eagle from the Oaxaca Region had ever been nominated, and El Bronce knew how much it would mean to his community should he win.
En Uno joined El Viejo on the Podium Branch and the strutting began. It was a contest, with the winner flying away, allowing the loser to speak first. It was most advantageous to speak last at the Voting Conclave, thus explaining why the winner would fly off.
Winking at his friend, en Uno made his way to the Podium Branch. A fine example of Golden Eagle himself, someone could just as easily have nominated him. El Bronce was glad no one had, as he really liked his friend and wouldn’t want anything like this to come between them. Fortunately, he was a most formidable ally rather than a competitor.
“There is so much I could say about El Bronce,” en Uno began, “but all I will say is JUST LOOK AT HIM!!!” en Uno then paused to allow all of those present to do so. Without meaning to, El Bronce inhaled deeply allowing his chest to puff out, making him even that much more magnificent. And, magnificent he was! His body, head, wings and tail were a glorious array of beige, brown and bronze with intricate patterns of geometric and hieroglyphic-like markings. His gold beak separated brown/black eyes, and his tail and wings had deep bronze tips.
“Let me just ask you this,” en Uno screeched, “do you want El Pesada - the heavy one to represent you, or the bronze one - El Bronce!”
The whistling was deafening almost to the point of maddening. Everyone knew actually taking the vote was only a formality, and El Bronce won by a landslide. Replacing his friend on the Podium Branch, El Bronce began his victory strut, noting to himself that he would never complain again when his wife dragged him to the tanning salon!!!!

Nominated for BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA for her role in "Outlander," actress Caitriona Balfe attends the 75th Annual Golden Globes Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA on Sunday, January 7, 2018.
The sacred city of Anuradhapura has been nominated by the UNESCO as a World Heritage. The main reason for the historical city of Anuradhapura to become a sacred city was the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi.
This sacred tree has been planted in the historical Maha Meghavana royal park in Anuradhapura in the month of ‘Unduvap’ (December), 236 BC, according to the written facts. The sacred Bodhi sapling has been ceremonially brought here by arahant Sanghamitra Maha Theri, under instructions of arahant Mahendra Maha Thero. King Devanam Piyatissa who ruled Sri Lanka in this period has planted this Bodhi tree with great pageantry in the Maha Meghavana royal park dedicated to the venerable bhikkhus. The present age of the Anuradhapura Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is 2,247 years.
Accordingly, the oldest tree of the whole world with a written history is the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi of Anuradhapura.
Lord Gautama Buddha is esteemed as the greatest human being appeared on earth. He attained Samma Sambodhi, enlightenment, seated with his back against it under the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi tree of Buddhagaya, India. The Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi of Anuradhapura being the southern branch of that sacred Bodhi tree is the second most special reason.
Within a short period of bringing the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi sapling to Sri Lanka, the original Bodhi tree of India was destroyed by Queen Thishyarakkha, a queen of Emperor Dharmashoka observing a different faith. The saplings sprouted from its roots were destroyed twice due to hostilities and natural disasters. It is a fourth generation Bodhi tree that dwells in Buddhagaya presently.
But, what we see living in Anuradhapura is the southern branch of the original Bodhi tree under which Gautama Buddha was seated with his back against it. Therefore, the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi tree of Anuradhapura is the only sacred relic in the whole world comparable to the living Buddha, which has been sanctified by the touch of the Lord Buddha and was subjected to the homage of the esteemed one himself for one whole week through ‘Animisa Lochana Pooja’.
It is a specialty here that, this highly sacred Bodhi could be seen and worshipped by anyone without hindrance.

On the history of women's studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
1897
Conservative journalist A.F. Seligmann founded the art school for women and girls and taught there as a single teacher 16 students in the "Curs for head and act". 1898 expands the school: Tina Blau, a former teacher of the Munich artists association conducts 1.1.1898 a "Curs for landscape and still-life", which she held until 1915. Richard Kauffungen was nominated for sculpture, Ludwig Michalek led the "Curs for head and act" as well as an Radierkurs (etching course), Adolf Böhm the course for decorative and applied arts, Fabiani teaches ornamentation and style of teaching as well as "Modern home furnishings", Georg Klimt taught metalwork, Friedrich King wood cutting art and Hans Tichy from 1900 the drawing and painting from the living model. In all these teachers are moderate modern artists from the area of the Secession. The theoretical lectures are held in the company founded by Emil Zuckerkandl and Julius Tandler 1900 "Association of Austrian university lecturers Athenaeum", which had the task to be "an educational institution for members of the female sex". The first school year was completed with 64 students, the school is rapidly expanding, so that it forms 200-300 students annually within a few years. The steady growth is due to the restrictive attitude of the public schools of art (especially the academy) towards women, but also from the indiscriminate admission of which have been blamed all the private schools also on the part of women harshly, and just by women.
1904
The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is one of the many requests for opening the Academy for students once again putting the old arguments against that women are rarely equipped with creative spirit in the field of great art and the other a "proliferation of dilettantism and a pushing back of male members" is to be feared. Just the idea of a joint education had "abhorred" the College. The Academy therefore advocates for the financial support of the art school for women and girls, and rejects the application for opening the academy for women unanimously. The main argument for the impossibility of the joint Aktzeichnens (nude drawing) and the need for a second Aktsaales (nude hall) is increasingly mentioned, which cannot be realized because lack of space and lack of money. Henni Lehmann (Artistic studies of women, Darmstadt 1913) countered the same argument in Germany: "The common nude studies of women and men can not be described as impossible as it is done in many places, without having shown any grievances". The objection of the Quorum of the Berlin University professors that no teacher could be forced to teach women at all in such delicate subjects is countered that the problem was easily solved by entrusting a lady the Aktunterricht (nude drawing) in ladies. Suitable artists were plentiful present. That the life drawing for a long time (until 1937) remained problematic, shows the application of the renowned sculptor Teresa F. Ries of 1931, in which she was offering the Academy her services for the purpose of the management of a yet to be affiliated department, where young girls separated from the young men could work under the direction of a woman. The application was not even put to a vote.
1912
The rector of the Munich Academy also does not believe in the inclusion of students (female ones): "... it is impossible, even with regard to the space conditions, apart from that that the aspirations of the artists who devote themselves to the arts especially are usually others than that of women..."
1913
No significant change in attitude can be found between the opinions of the Academies from 1904 and those of 1913.
1919
In the report from the College's meeting of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna to the State Office of Internal Affairs and Teaching is communicated that against the requested admission there were no fundamental objections, but that the Academy is so limited in spatial relationship, that after the experiences of the last entrance exams not even the majority of gifted young artists, capable of studying, could be included, and therefore, in case of the admission of women to the study initially had to be made a considerable expansion. The State Office counters that a further delay in the admission of women to the academic study could not be justified and that approval is to allow at least temporarily in a narrow frame.
1920
The State Office for the Interior and Education officially approved the admission of women to study at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (since 1919 women were admitted to all faculties of the University of Vienna, with the exception of the Catholic and Protestant Theological Faculty).
A committee consisting of the professors Bacher, Delug, Schmutzer, and Jettmar Muellner claims that the Academy has never pronounced in principle against women's studies but have always only expressed reservations because of the cramped space and financial situation. As a complete novelty proves that no more concerns are raised with regard to coeducation. Men and women should compete in the entrance examination. In the winter semester 1920/21 will be included 14 women, of course, representing only a small minority in relation to the 250 male students.
1926/1927
In the new study regulations are for the first time mentioned Schüler (M) and Schülerinnen (F).
March 1927
Report of the Academy of Fine and Applied Arts about the experiences regarding the access of women to universities: ..."in past years it was thought for the education of women and girls by the Academy of Women for Liberal and Applied Art, which is also equipped with academic classes and by the State subsidized, sufficiently having taken precautions: during a period of almost seven years of study, it was probably possible to get a clear picture about the access applications of women, and about the degree course ... Of course, the number of female candidates in the painting is strongest, weaker in sculpture, and very low in the architecture. As much already now can be said, that in no way in terms of education in the new admissions the women are left behind the male candidates. During the study period, the female students are not in diligence and seriousness of studying behind their male colleagues. Particularly gratifying can be emphasized that because of the co-education of both sexes in common rooms in the individual schools a win-win situation for everybody was. In the master schools the College was repeatedly able also honouring women with academic prices. Subsuming, it should be emphasized that our experiences with the study of women in the Academy of Fine Arts were quite favorable."
The number of students (Studentinnen) increased from 5 % in the winter semester 1920/1921 till 1939/1940 to about 25 %. After the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany, the number of students (Studentinnen) decreased. The proportion of female students rose after 1940 naturally, reached during the war years up to 70 % and amounted 1945/1946 to 65%. From 1946/1947 the number of students (Studentinnen) fell sharply again, so 1952/1953 only 20% of the students at the Academy were women. 1963/1964 there were, however, already 41% (278).
