One of my little side-projects: photographing doors, in a project I call "Doors of Perception" (yes, I am a fan of The Doors).
Christa :)
Haven't done anything too artistic in a while, thought I would have some fun with it :) The photo layered on top is mine also.
woo hoo! The month is over!
This piece of art was installed at the front window of the Monte Clark Gallery in Granville Street. It's a collage of Strathcona's "favourite" little orange pinto. Flickr is partly responsible for making a mini-celebrity of this little orange pinto and it is almost serendipitous that it should be made into a work of art by local artist cameraman.

India - A view of Gujarat.
The Jat - one of the hidden tribes in Gujarat (India).
Dhaneta Jat girl.
The Jats who live in Kutch are particularly conscious of their identity as a group and their sense of unity comes from a perception of shared historical traditions and a belief in common ancestry.
Originally the Jats were herders who lived in an area called Half in Iran. Five hundred years ago these shepherds migrated from Half and came to Sindh and Kutch to search for new grazing lands. They crossed the Rann of Kutch and settled there taking up farming, they became known as Dhaneta Jats. Some have devted themselves to the study of the Koran and are known as the Fakirani Jats. All the Jats in Kutch are Muslims and have similar marriage and dowry customs.
The Dhanetas are the largest of the Jat Communities. They live throughtout north western Kutch. The Dhanetas live in the Banni, herd cattle. The men care for the animals and women remain in camp looking after their families.

**************************************************** ****************************
21-22
In the 20th century, science and technology have been highly developed, social productivity has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the modern civilization and free rational cognitive perception of human society have gradually developed and changed. Human society has opened up a new planetary civilization, which is an inevitable trend of history. Of course, today's human society also It presents various crises and challenges, clashes of civilizations, geopolitics, territorial disputes, spheres of influence, fetishism, political and economic systems, economic models, etc. as well as climate change, resource environment, population growth, wealth gap, plague Viruses, natural disasters, religious beliefs, racial discrimination, vicious competition, even armed war or nuclear war, etc. Countries such as the United States, China, Russia, Europe, India and Pakistan are among them. Without contradiction and competition, there would be no world, and similarly, without peace and compromise There will be no world if you share wealth with each other. Take one step or two steps back, and the sky will be vast. Nuclear weapons are very powerful and worth mentioning. However, the competition between countries and ethnic groups, in the final analysis, mainly lies in economic and political civilization, and of course also includes land, population, resources, etc. Culture, technology, military, influence, sphere of influence, etc. War is just an important unconventional form, just like animal fighting and killing. However, whether animal groups fight inside or outside, there is also considerable compromise and sharing. Otherwise, Animal species groups will also completely disappear or perish. The same is true for the evolutionary history of human society. There is no doubt about it. Whether you are a politician, a military strategist, or a philosopher, a thinker or a sociologist, Anthropologists, no exception.
After World War II, the world formed a Cold War situation: the two major military organizations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Warsaw Pact Organization (Warsaw Pact), began to expand their arms and prepare for war. The United States and the Soviet Union launched an arms race and had nuclear weapons reserves. Vulnerable states will rely on the military protection of great powers as a way to maintain their own security.
The phrase World War III began to appear in communiqués between leaders of various countries. With a large number of high-tech applications in the military field, especially the extensive development and proliferation of nuclear weapons, people have provided a great space for the imagination of the third world war: some people think that the third world war will be a scale that spreads all over the world. The world's nuclear war, this war will become the greatest catastrophe in the history of human civilization. The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 was once considered the closest crisis in human history to World War III: a confrontation between two powers with unprecedented nuclear power that lasted for decades in the Caribbean Sea. Although the incident was resolved smoothly, full-scale nuclear war has since become a nickname for World War III.
With the development of the world, more and more people believe that the third world war will become a historical term that will never appear, or a war that will not happen in a visible period of time, all because of the balance of power between the United States and the Soviet Union. And implement a policy of mutually assured destruction so that war does not break out.
The Third World War is an imaginary large-scale war in the next world. During the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, if a war broke out between the two sides, its seriousness could be called the Third World War, but fortunately, both sides tried their best to War was avoided, and neither side broke out until the end of the Cold War. So far, the three wars have only been speculated and imagined, and they have not broken out, but once they break out, they will seriously affect everyone on the earth. After the great ordeal of the Cold War, the Soviet Union yearned for peace and opposed war.
.
With a large number of high-tech applications in the military field, especially the extensive development and proliferation of nuclear weapons, people have provided great space for the imagination of the third world war - some people believe that the third world war will be a large-scale The nuclear war in the world will become the greatest catastrophe in the history of human civilization. Among them, the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 was once considered to be the crisis closest to the Third World War in human history - the confrontation between two great powers with unprecedented nuclear forces in the Caribbean Sea lasted for dozens of days, bringing the possibility of war to the ground. Raised to unprecedented heights.
From different perspectives, there are many reasons for the outbreak of the Third World War, and the government and the people have different views, such as the war launched by the former Soviet Union against the West, the rise of China, and the war in the Middle East.
There are many different reasons for the outbreak of wars, and the camps are also different. It is believed that some countries will use the atomic bomb, and the war may extend into space. The war broke out because, for example, the United States suppressed a rising China. Military conflict between India, Vietnam, the Philippines and China, Israel and Middle East countries, Middle East or Iran and European and American countries, North Korea nuclear attack on South Korea or Japan, China and South Korea discord, military conflict broke out, the United States returned to the Asia-Pacific region affected by Asia State conflict, etc. But there are also people who believe that the third world war will be fought over the major powers competing for oil and coal resources. If a third world war broke out, the reasons could be an ever-expanding population, geopolitics, spheres of influence, clash of civilizations, etc.
Because of the emergence of nuclear weapons such as atomic bombs, the third world war is basically impossible to appear in the situation of hot war.
There is a global nuclear war on the earth, and the world has launched atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs with a nuclear yield of more than 20 billion tons of TNT. Complete
Geography, climate and environment: Due to the radioactive pollution caused by nuclear explosions, most animals are sacrificed, and only creatures on the seabed and low-level life are likely to survive, various chemical reactions pollute the atmosphere, sunlight is hindered, the temperature of the earth is lowered, and the equator has dropped to freezing point Below, human architecture will disappear in the next few hundred years.
Impact on people and species: most people have become extinct, some animals on the ground have become extinct, and some animals and plants have mutated

Will there be crooks and lunatics in the world? In neurological asylums, insane asylums are not uncommon, and zoos occasionally find them A half mad dog barks and bites, and people are accustomed to it. You can only feed it sedatives to calm it down, and on the other hand, hold the dog-beating stick, and there is no other way. Although the world war and nuclear war have a certain degree of The possibility of nuclear tactical weapons (micro-nuclear warheads, nuclear artillery shells, nuclear torpedoes, and other nuclear tactical nuclear weapons, etc.) may occur on one side. However, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and ten thousand bullets will be fired, and they will perish together, let the earth be completely destroyed, let the The total destruction of human society is not very realistic in the 21st-22nd century. If the earth does not exist, then everything becomes meaningless. Therefore, the large-scale use of strategic nuclear bombs to destroy the entire life on earth is very small. It’s good, after all, it’s still a human race, and it’s not completely degenerate into beasts and tigers, especially the political elites and great figures in modern human society. Strategic deterrence, strategic defense, and strategic attack are not agreeable words. Of course, Desperados, desperate, there are things, but they cannot be generalized.

"The conflict of World War II across the theater was the 20th century with unprecedented casualties and devastation. An estimated 80 million to 120 million people died in the war.
Affected countries First World War Second World War
Deaths 20 million 72-100 million
Injured 20 million 35 million
Conscription 70 million 110 million
Battlefield size 4 million square kilometers 22 million square kilometers
World wars profoundly affected the course of world history, the old European empires were destroyed or divided or severely damaged, the direct cause was the staggering cost of the war, or in some cases defeat by the great powers, the war weakened or even cut off the main colonial powers and colonies. The connection made the colonies operate in a semi-autonomous state. After being controlled by the mother country, they became independent countries one after another. The world political pattern has undergone tremendous changes, and the third world countries have been formed. Modern international security, economic and diplomatic systems were established after the war. Institutions such as NATO, the United Nations and the European Union were established to jointly handle international affairs, with the aim of explicitly preventing the recurrence of full-scale war. War also dramatically changed everyday life. Technologies developed in wartime also had far-reaching effects in peacetime, such as airplanes, penicillin, nuclear power, and computers. "(quoted from Wiki)
All kinds of battles and conflicts, sometimes hostile parties compromise with each other, and resolve various disputes through peaceful negotiation; Of course, from the perspective of the development and changes of the entire human society, the trend of peaceful development is always the mainstream, and the state of war is not the mainstream norm after all. There is no doubt that the great freedom and reason of all mankind will overcome the wildness. Otherwise, human society will collapse. It will be completely destroyed. Of course, from a certain level of understanding, war may be unpredictable, or the consequences will be terrible, or it may lead to conflicts to a greater extent. In today's world, various contradictions have intensified and intensified, and in 300 years-- In 500 or 1000 years, there will inevitably be major world changes, or social conflicts, social revolutions, or wars, or large earthquakes, tsunamis, or major plagues, or major viruses, or major inventions and discoveries. , (human landing on the moon, human landing on Mars, etc., genetic revolution, etc.), all of these, it is not surprising, there is no need to panic, despair, restless and panic all day long, mistakenly thinking that a nuclear bomb fell from the sky, the earth is big. Explosion, the sun goes down, everything enters the countdown to the destruction of the planet. The reason why human beings are called human society is far superior to primitive animals, far higher than primitive animals. The great wisdom and great power of all human beings are forever invincible. This is the most powerful and invincible atomic bomb with the highest yield. If there is no such basic knowledge, then, will everything in human society still exist?

Au 20ème siècle, la science et la technologie ont été très développées, la productivité sociale a progressé à pas de géant, et la civilisation moderne et la perception cognitive rationnelle libre de la société humaine se sont progressivement développées et modifiées.La société humaine a ouvert une nouvelle civilisation planétaire, qui est une tendance inévitable de l'histoire.Bien sûr, la société humaine d'aujourd'hui aussi Il présente diverses crises et défis, chocs de civilisations, géopolitique, conflits territoriaux, sphères d'influence, fétichisme, systèmes politiques et économiques, modèles économiques, etc. changement climatique, environnement des ressources, croissance démographique, écart de richesse, peste Virus, catastrophes naturelles, croyances religieuses, discrimination raciale, concurrence vicieuse, voire guerre armée ou guerre nucléaire, etc. Pays tels que les États-Unis, la Chine, la Russie, l'Europe, l'Inde et le Pakistan sont parmi eux. Sans contradiction et concurrence, il n'y aurait pas de monde, et de même, sans paix et compromis Il n'y aura pas de monde si vous partagez la richesse les uns avec les autres. Faites un pas ou deux pas en arrière, et le ciel sera Les armes nucléaires sont très puissantes et méritent d'être mentionnées, mais la concurrence entre les pays et les groupes ethniques, en dernière analyse, réside principalement dans la civilisation économique et politique, et comprend bien sûr aussi la terre, la population, les ressources, etc. , militaire, influence, sphère d'influence, etc. La guerre n'est qu'une forme non conventionnelle importante, tout comme les combats et les meurtres d'animaux. Cependant, que les groupes d'animaux se battent à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur, il y a aussi des compromis et des partages considérables. Sinon, les groupes d'espèces animales aussi complètement disparaître ou périr. Il en va de même pour l'histoire évolutive de la société humaine. Il n'y a aucun doute à ce sujet. Que vous soyez un homme politique, un stratège militaire, ou un philosophe, un penseur ou un sociologue, Anthropologues, pas d'exception.
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le monde a formé une situation de guerre froide : les deux principales organisations militaires, l'Organisation du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord (OTAN) et l'Organisation du Pacte de Varsovie (Pacte de Varsovie), ont commencé à étendre leurs armes et à se préparer à la guerre. et l'Union soviétique a lancé une course aux armements et avait des réserves d'armes nucléaires. Les États vulnérables s'appuieront sur la protection militaire des grandes puissances pour assurer leur propre sécurité.
L'expression Troisième Guerre mondiale a commencé à apparaître dans les communiqués entre les dirigeants de divers pays. Avec un grand nombre d'applications de haute technologie dans le domaine militaire, en particulier le développement et la prolifération à grande échelle des armes nucléaires, les gens ont laissé un grand espace à l'imagination de la troisième guerre mondiale : certains pensent que la troisième guerre mondiale sera une échelle qui se propage partout dans le monde.La guerre nucléaire mondiale, cette guerre deviendra la plus grande catastrophe de l'histoire de la civilisation humaine. La crise des missiles de Cuba en 1962 était autrefois considérée comme la crise de l'histoire humaine la plus proche de la troisième guerre mondiale : une confrontation entre deux puissances dotées d'une puissance nucléaire sans précédent qui a duré des décennies dans la mer des Caraïbes. Bien que l'incident ait été résolu sans heurts, la guerre nucléaire à grande échelle est depuis devenue un surnom pour la troisième guerre mondiale.
Avec le développement du monde, de plus en plus de gens croient que la troisième guerre mondiale deviendra un terme historique qui n'apparaîtra jamais, ou une guerre qui ne se produira pas dans une période de temps visible, tout cela à cause de l'équilibre des pouvoirs entre les États-Unis et l'Union soviétique, et mettre en œuvre une politique de destruction mutuelle assurée afin que la guerre n'éclate pas.
La Troisième Guerre mondiale est une guerre imaginaire à grande échelle dans l'au-delà. Pendant la guerre froide entre les États-Unis et l'Union soviétique, si une guerre éclatait entre les deux parties, sa gravité pourrait être qualifiée de Troisième Guerre mondiale, mais heureusement, les deux parties ont fait de leur mieux pour que la guerre soit évitée, et aucune des deux parties n'a éclaté jusqu'à la fin de la guerre froide. Jusqu'à présent, les trois guerres n'ont été que spéculées et imaginées, et elles n'ont pas éclaté, mais une fois qu'elles éclateront, elles affecteront sérieusement tout le monde sur la terre.Après la grande épreuve de la guerre froide, l'Union soviétique aspirait à la paix et s'oppose à la guerre.

Avec un grand nombre d'applications de haute technologie dans le domaine militaire, en particulier le développement et la prolifération à grande échelle des armes nucléaires, les gens ont laissé une grande place à l'imagination de la troisième guerre mondiale - certains pensent que la troisième guerre mondiale sera une grande -échelle La guerre nucléaire dans le monde deviendra la plus grande catastrophe de l'histoire de la civilisation humaine. Parmi eux, la crise des missiles de Cuba en 1962 était autrefois considérée comme la crise la plus proche de la Troisième Guerre mondiale dans l'histoire de l'humanité - la confrontation entre deux grandes puissances dotées de forces nucléaires sans précédent dans la mer des Caraïbes a duré des dizaines de jours, offrant la possibilité de la guerre au sol, élevée à des hauteurs sans précédent.
De différents points de vue, il existe de nombreuses raisons pour le déclenchement de la Troisième Guerre mondiale, et le gouvernement et le peuple ont des points de vue différents, comme la guerre lancée par l'ex-Union soviétique contre l'Occident, la montée de la Chine et la guerre en Moyen-orient.
Il existe de nombreuses raisons différentes pour le déclenchement des guerres, et les camps sont également différents. On pense que certains pays utiliseront la bombe atomique et que la guerre pourrait s'étendre dans l'espace. La guerre a éclaté parce que, par exemple, les États-Unis ont réprimé une Chine montante. Conflit militaire entre l'Inde, le Vietnam, les Philippines et la Chine, Israël et les pays du Moyen-Orient, le Moyen-Orient ou l'Iran et l'Europe et les États-Unis, attaque nucléaire de la Corée du Nord contre la Corée du Sud ou le Japon, discorde entre la Chine et la Corée du Sud, conflit militaire, retour des États-Unis au conflit des États d'Asie-Pacifique, etc. Mais il y a aussi des gens qui croient que la troisième guerre mondiale se déroulera pour les grandes puissances en concurrence pour les ressources en pétrole et en charbon. Si une troisième guerre mondiale éclatait, les raisons pourraient être une population en constante expansion, la géopolitique, les sphères d'influence, le choc des civilisations, etc.
En raison de l'émergence d'armes nucléaires telles que les bombes atomiques, la troisième guerre mondiale est fondamentalement impossible à apparaître dans la situation de guerre chaude.
Il y a une guerre nucléaire mondiale sur la terre, et le monde a lancé des bombes atomiques et des bombes à hydrogène avec un rendement nucléaire de plus de 20 milliards de tonnes de TNT. Compléter
Géographie, climat et environnement : En raison de la pollution radioactive causée par les explosions nucléaires, la plupart des animaux sont sacrifiés, et seules les créatures des fonds marins et de la vie de bas niveau sont susceptibles de survivre, diverses réactions chimiques polluent l'atmosphère, la lumière du soleil est entravée, la température de la terre est abaissée et l'équateur est tombé au point de congélation En dessous, l'architecture humaine disparaîtra dans les quelques centaines d'années à venir.
Impact sur les personnes et les espèces : la plupart des personnes ont disparu, certains animaux au sol ont disparu et certains animaux et plantes ont muté
L'homme qui a failli devenir l'empereur de toute l'Europe, il a fait trembler toute l'Europe.
Guderian (Allemagne) le père du char.
Il était un héros de la guerre éclair, a vaincu les puissants Polonais et a balayé la France en deux semaines.En cinq mois, il a remporté une série de victoires et les soldats ont été braqués sur lui jusqu'à deux millions de personnes.
Jules César (Rome antique) Symbole de la Rome antique.
Il a combattu en Gaule, et il a rivalisé avec Pompée pour l'hégémonie. Dans la bataille de Phassaro, le faible a vaincu le fort, et a vaincu Pompée d'un seul coup. Après cela, personne ne pouvait égaler l'ennemi. Asie Mineure, Afrique du Nord, En Espagne, guerre après guerre, César est presque devenu synonyme de victoire.
Khalid (arabe) Épée d'Allah.
Il a conduit l'armée arabe à écraser l'armée romaine orientale lors de la bataille de Yamuk.Il a fait une autre figure marquante à cette époque, l'empereur romain oriental Chirac pour dire tristement au revoir à la Syrie : "Belle Syrie, adieu !"
Suvorov (Russie) le premier joueur de l'histoire russe.
Il a fait de grandes réalisations dans la guerre russo-turque, et il a vaincu l'armée française lors de l'expédition en Italie. Il était le seul commandant à l'époque de Napoléon qui pouvait rivaliser avec Napoléon. Mais l'histoire ne leur a malheureusement pas donné la chance de s'affronter. -au.
Hannibal (Carthage) Héros solitaire.
Dans la guerre avec Rome, il a conduit 60 000 personnes sur le territoire de Rome, s'est battu seul et a créé des miracles.
Les trois batailles majeures dans le monde sont : première : la bataille de la Somme entre les forces britanniques et françaises de la Première Guerre mondiale contre l'armée allemande. Elle a duré six mois. Les deux parties ont investi plus de 1,5 million de soldats, et la Le nombre de victimes a atteint le chiffre étonnant de 1,3 million. La bataille a été menée par les forces britanniques et françaises. Elle s'est soldée par un échec, et ce fut la bataille la plus importante et la plus meurtrière de la Première Guerre mondiale ; deuxième : la bataille de Verdun entre l'armée allemande et les forces britanniques et françaises pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, qui a duré 10 mois, les deux parties ont investi près d'un million de soldats et subi plus de 70 pertes. 10 000, la bataille s'est terminée par la défaite de l'armée allemande ; la troisième : la bataille de Stalingrad entre l'armée allemande et l'armée soviétique pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui a duré six mois, en raison du trop grand nombre de troupes participant à la guerre, il est impossible de compter avec précision le nombre de victimes de soldats à lui seul atteint 2 millions, et 40 000 C'était la bataille la plus meurtrière de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
"L'art de la guerre"
"L'art de la guerre de Sun Tzu" est le livre militaire le plus célèbre de la Chine ancienne et le plus ancien "Livre sacré d'études militaires" au monde.

"La théorie de la guerre" a joué un rôle majeur dans la formation et le développement de la pensée militaire occidentale moderne et est connue comme l'un des 100 livres qui ont influencé le processus historique. Dans cet ouvrage classique de la science militaire, il estime que la guerre doit être examinée à partir de la simple connexion et de la restriction mutuelle de tous les phénomènes de guerre, et avance la célèbre thèse selon laquelle "la guerre n'est rien d'autre que la continuation de la politique à travers une autre" ; le but est détruire les forces armées ennemies.principe le plus général de l'art militaire est la supériorité du nombre des troupes.
"Grande stratégie"
Le nom complet de "Grand Strategy" est "Grand Strategy : Principles and Practice", l'auteur John Collins (John Co11ins) est un célèbre théoricien stratégique américain. Le livre se concentre sur la description de diverses factions de la pensée militaire américaine contemporaine et des affaires militaires.

La "théorie de la stratégie" a une grande valeur historique. Depuis sa publication, elle a été largement traduite et publiée par des pays du monde entier, et a toujours été appréciée par les milieux militaires occidentaux.
"Dominance aérienne"
"Air Dominance" a également été traduit en "Theory of Air Dominance" et "Theory of Air Force Strategy", qui proposaient l'idée de dominance aérienne. La suprématie aérienne est divisée en suprématie aérienne tactique stratégique et opérationnelle. La maîtrise de l'air peut avoir un impact majeur sur l'issue d'une guerre.
"La science de la victoire"

"Stratégie militaire"
Au début des années 1960, l'Union soviétique a publié le livre "Stratégie militaire". La publication de ce livre est comme l'explosion d'une bombe nucléaire, qui a immédiatement choqué le monde, créé un effet sensationnel et est devenue le sujet central et brûlant des cercles militaires et politiques de divers pays.

Le livre est divisé en huit chapitres, impliquant divers domaines des affaires militaires, reflétant que la théorie militaire de l'Union soviétique subit une énorme transformation de la stratégie militaire traditionnelle à la stratégie nucléaire de fusée.
Introduction à l'art de la guerre
"Une introduction à l'art de la guerre" par AH Jomini. Ce livre est divisé en sept chapitres et quarante-sept sections.
En outre, la guerre spatiale, les armes nucléaires tactiques, les armes nucléaires stratégiques, <> (œuvres de Fangruida), etc. Il existe également de nombreuses autres œuvres bien connues dans le monde entier. Domination aérienne, dominance maritime, missiles, avions, chars, Les contre-mesures électroniques sont-elles comparables à la guerre moderne de haute technologie, à la guerre nucléaire et à la guerre spatiale? La réponse est non. Y aura-t-il des escrocs et des fous dans le monde? Dans les asiles neurologiques, les asiles d'aliénés ne sont pas rares, et les zoos en trouvent parfois Un chien à moitié enragé aboie et mord, et les gens y sont habitués. Vous ne pouvez lui donner que des sédatifs pour le calmer, et d'autre part, tenez le bâton qui bat le chien, et il n'y a pas d'autre moyen. Bien que la guerre mondiale et la guerre nucléaire aient un certain degré de La possibilité que des armes nucléaires tactiques (micro-ogives nucléaires, obus d'artillerie nucléaire, torpilles nucléaires et autres armes nucléaires tactiques nucléaires, etc.) puissent se produire d'un côté. Cependant, le poisson mourra et le filet sera brisé, et dix mille balles seront tirées, et ils périront ensemble, que la terre soit complètement détruite, que la destruction totale de la société humaine n'est pas très réaliste au 21e-22e siècle. Si la terre n'existe pas, alors tout devient vide de sens. Par conséquent, l'utilisation à grande échelle de bombes nucléaires stratégiques pour détruire toute la vie sur terre est très faible. C'est bien, après tout, c'est toujours un la race humaine, et elle n'est pas complètement dégénérée en bêtes et en tigres, en particulier les élites politiques et les grandes figures de la société humaine moderne. La dissuasion stratégique, la défense stratégique et l'attaque stratégique ne sont pas des mots agréables. Bien sûr, Desperados, désespérés, il y a des choses, mais ils ne peuvent pas être généralisés. Y a-t-il vraiment des fous et des sages et des dieux dans le monde, des centaines de billions de bombes atomiques et de bombes à hydrogène sont lancées, la terre, la lune, Mars, Jupiter, le soleil, la voie lactée, les trous noirs, La voie lactée, ...... est éphémère, n'est-ce pas le mythe du Big Bang qui a créé l'univers ?Ceci n'est probablement connu que de Dieu et de Zeus.
Un soldat qui ne veut pas être général n'est pas un bon soldat---Napoléon (France)
La meilleure destination d'un soldat est d'être tué par la dernière balle de la dernière bataille - Patton (États-Unis)
Seuls ceux qui n'ont pas peur de la mort méritent de vivre - MacArthur (États-Unis) Si je sais qu'il y a un champ de mines sur le chemin, je laisserai les troupes y aller directement ----- Joukov (Union soviétique)
Celui qui tire le premier et peut effectuer le tir concentré le plus intense gagnera - Rommel (Allemagne)
"Le conflit de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à travers le théâtre a été le 20e siècle avec des pertes et des ravages sans précédent. On estime que 80 à 120 millions de personnes sont mortes pendant la guerre.
Pays touchés Première Guerre mondiale Seconde Guerre mondiale
Décès 20 millions 72-100 millions
Blessés 20 millions 35 millions

Taille du champ de bataille 4 millions de kilomètres carrés 22 millions de kilomètres carrés
Les guerres mondiales ont profondément marqué le cours de l'histoire du monde. Les anciens empires européens ont été détruits, divisés ou gravement endommagés. La cause directe en était le coût effarant de la guerre, ou dans certains cas la défaite face aux grandes puissances, la guerre affaiblie ou même interrompue. les principales puissances coloniales et les colonies. La connexion a fait fonctionner les colonies dans un État semi-autonome. Après avoir été contrôlées par la mère patrie, elles sont devenues des pays indépendants les uns après les autres. Le modèle politique mondial a subi d'énormes changements, et les pays du tiers monde ont été formés. Des systèmes modernes de sécurité internationale, économiques et diplomatiques ont été établis après la guerre. Des institutions telles que l'OTAN, les Nations Unies et l'Union européenne ont été créées pour gérer conjointement les affaires internationales, dans le but explicite d'empêcher la répétition d'une guerre à grande échelle. La guerre a également radicalement changé la vie quotidienne. Les technologies développées en temps de guerre ont également eu des effets considérables en temps de paix, comme les avions, la pénicilline, l'énergie nucléaire et les ordinateurs. "(cité de Wiki)
Toutes sortes de batailles et de conflits, parfois des parties hostiles se compromettent et résolvent divers différends par la négociation pacifique ; bien sûr, du point de vue du développement et des changements de l'ensemble de la société humaine, la tendance du développement pacifique est toujours le courant dominant, et l'état de guerre n'est pas la norme dominante après tout. Il ne fait aucun doute que la grande liberté et la raison de toute l'humanité surmonteront la sauvagerie. Sinon, la société humaine s'effondrera. Elle sera complètement détruite. Bien sûr, à partir d'un certain niveau de compréhension, la guerre peut être imprévisible, ou les conséquences seront terribles, ou elle peut conduire à des conflits dans une plus grande mesure. Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, diverses contradictions se sont intensifiées et intensifiées, et dans 300 ans-- Dans 500 ou 1000 ans, il y aura inévitablement des changements mondiaux majeurs, ou des conflits sociaux, des révolutions sociales, ou des guerres, ou de grands tremblements de terre, des tsunamis, ou des épidémies majeures, ou des virus majeurs, ou des inventions et découvertes majeures. , (atterrissage humain sur la lune, atterrissage humain sur Mars , etc., révolution génétique, etc.), tout cela, ce n'est pas surprenant, il n'est pas nécessaire de paniquer, de désespérer, de s'agiter et de paniquer toute la journée, en pensant à tort qu'une bombe nucléaire est tombée du ciel, la terre est grand. Explosion, le soleil se couche, tout entre dans le compte à rebours de la destruction de la planète. La raison pour laquelle les êtres humains sont appelés société humaine est bien supérieure aux animaux primitifs, bien supérieure aux animaux primitifs. La grande sagesse et le grand pouvoir de tous les êtres humains sont à jamais invincibles. C'est la bombe atomique la plus puissante et la plus invincible avec le rendement le plus élevé. S'il n'y a pas de telles connaissances de base, alors, tout dans la société humaine existera-t-il encore ?

21-22
В 20 веке наука и техника были высокоразвиты, социальная продуктивность росла семимильными шагами, постепенно развивались и менялись современная цивилизация и свободное рациональное познавательное восприятие человеческого общества, человеческое общество открыло новую планетарную цивилизацию, что является неизбежной тенденцией истории.Конечно, сегодняшнее человеческое общество также представляет собой различные кризисы и вызовы, столкновения цивилизаций, геополитику, территориальные споры, сферы влияния, фетишизм, политические и экономические системы, экономические модели и т. д., а также изменение климата, ресурсная среда, рост населения, разрыв в уровне благосостояния, чума, вирусы, стихийные бедствия, религиозные убеждения, расовая дискриминация, жестокая конкуренция, даже вооруженная война или ядерная война и т. д. Такие страны, как США, Китай, Россия, Европа, Индия и Пакистан среди них.Без противоречия и соперничества не было бы мира, и точно так же без мира и компромисса Мира не будет, если вы будете делиться богатством друг с другом.Сделайте шаг или два назад, и небо будет огромно.Ядерное оружие очень мощное и заслуживает упоминания.Однако конкуренция между странами и этносами,в конечном счете,в основном заключается в экономической и политической цивилизации,и конечно же включает в себя землю,население,ресурсы и т.д.Культура,технологии , вооруженные силы, влияние, сфера влияния и т. д. Война - это просто важная нетрадиционная форма, такая же, как борьба и убийство животных. Однако независимо от того, сражаются ли группы животных внутри или снаружи, также существует значительный компромисс и разделение. В противном случае группы видов животных будут также полностью исчезнуть или погибнуть.То же верно и для эволюционной истории человеческого общества.В этом нет никаких сомнений.Будь ты политик,военный стратег или философ,мыслитель или социолог,Антропологи не исключение.
После Второй мировой войны в мире сложилась ситуация холодной войны: две крупнейшие военные организации, Организация Североатлантического договора (НАТО) и Организация Варшавского договора (Варшавский договор), начали развертывать свои вооружения и готовиться к войне. а СССР начал гонку вооружений и имел запасы ядерного оружия. Уязвимые государства будут полагаться на военную защиту великих держав как на способ поддержания собственной безопасности.
Словосочетание «Третья мировая война» стало появляться в коммюнике лидеров разных стран. Благодаря большому количеству применений высоких технологий в военной области, особенно экстенсивному развитию и распространению ядерного оружия, люди предоставили большое пространство для воображения третьей мировой войны: некоторые думают, что третья мировая война будет масштаб, который распространяется по всему миру.Всемирная ядерная война, эта война станет величайшей катастрофой в истории человеческой цивилизации. Кубинский ракетный кризис 1962 года когда-то считался самым близким кризисом в истории человечества к Третьей мировой войне: противостояние двух держав с беспрецедентной ядерной мощью, которое длилось десятилетиями в Карибском море. Хотя инцидент разрешился гладко, полномасштабная ядерная война с тех пор стала прозвищем Третьей мировой войны.
С развитием мира все больше и больше людей верят, что третья мировая война станет историческим термином, который никогда не появится, или войной, которая не произойдет в обозримом промежутке времени, все из-за баланса сил между Соединенные Штаты и Советский Союз.И проводить политику гарантированного взаимного уничтожения, чтобы не разразилась война.
Третья мировая война - это воображаемая крупномасштабная война на том свете.Во время холодной войны между США и Советским Союзом, если между двумя сторонами вспыхивала война, ее серьезность можно было бы назвать Третьей мировой войной, но к счастью, обе стороны старались изо всех сил, чтобы войны удалось избежать, и ни одна из сторон не вспыхнула до конца холодной войны. До сих пор о трех войнах только предполагали и воображали, и они не разразились, но как только они разразятся, они серьезно повлияют на всех на земле.После великих испытаний холодной войны Советский Союз жаждал мира и выступал против войны.

С большим количеством применений высоких технологий в военной области, особенно экстенсивным развитием и распространением ядерного оружия, люди предоставили большое пространство для воображения третьей мировой войны - некоторые люди считают, что третья мировая война будет большой масштаба Ядерная война в мире станет величайшей катастрофой в истории человеческой цивилизации. Среди них Кубинский ракетный кризис 1962 года когда-то считался кризисом, наиболее близким к Третьей мировой войне в истории человечества — противостояние двух великих держав с беспрецедентными ядерными силами в Карибском море длилось десятки дней, принося возможность война на земле, поднятая на невиданные высоты.
С разных точек зрения существует много причин для начала Третьей мировой войны, и у правительства и народа разные взгляды, такие как война, развязанная бывшим Советским Союзом против Запада, подъем Китая и война в средний Восток.
Причин возникновения войн много разных, и лагеря тоже разные.Считается, что некоторые страны будут применять атомную бомбу, и война может распространиться в космос. Война разразилась потому, что, например, США подавили восставший Китай. Военный конфликт между Индией, Вьетнамом, Филиппинами и Китаем, Израилем и странами Ближнего Востока, Ближним Востоком или Ираном и Европой и Соединенными Штатами, ядерная атака Северной Кореи на Южную Корею или Японию, разногласия между Китаем и Южной Кореей, военный конфликт, возвращение США к государственному конфликту в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе и т. д. Но есть также люди, которые считают, что третья мировая война будет вестись между крупными державами, конкурирующими за нефть и угольные ресурсы. Если бы разразилась третья мировая война, причинами могли бы быть постоянно расширяющееся население, геополитика, сферы влияния, столкновение цивилизаций и т. д.
Из-за появления ядерного оружия, такого как атомные бомбы, третья мировая война в принципе не может появиться в ситуации горячей войны.
На земле идет глобальная ядерная война, и в мире запущены атомные и водородные бомбы с ядерной мощностью более 20 миллиардов тонн тротила. Полный

The Dakshinkali Temple is located 22 kilometers from Kathmandu next to the village of Pharping. It's one of the main temples in Nepal. Twice every week thousands of people come here to worship the goddess Kali by sacrificing life animals, particularly cockerels and uncastrated male goats.
GODDESS KALI
Kālī (/ˈkɑːli/; Sanskrit: काली & Bengali: কালী; IPA: [kɑːliː]), also known as Kālikā (Sanskrit: कालिका), is the Hindu goddess associated with empowerment, or shakti. She is the fierce aspect of the goddess Durga. The name of Kali means black one and force of time; she is therefore called the Goddess of Time, Change, Power, Creation, Preservation, and Destruction. Her earliest appearance is that of a destroyer principally of evil forces. Various Shakta Hindu cosmologies, as well as Shākta Tantric beliefs, worship her as the ultimate reality or Brahman; and recent devotional movements re-imagine Kāli as a benevolent mother goddess. She is often portrayed standing or dancing on her husband, the god Shiva, who lies calm and prostrate beneath her. Worshipped throughout India but particularly South India, Bengal, and Assam, Kali is both geographically and culturally marginal.
ETYMOLOGY
Kālī is the feminine form of kālam ("black, dark coloured"). Kāla primarily means "time", but also means "black"; hence, Kālī means "the black one" or "beyond time". Kāli is strongly associated with Shiva, and Shaivas derive the masculine Kāla (an epithet of Shiva) from her feminine name. A nineteenth-century Sanskrit dictionary, the Shabdakalpadrum, states: कालः शिवः। तस्य पत्नीति - काली। kālaḥ śivaḥ। tasya patnīti kālī - "Shiva is Kāla, thus, his consort is Kāli".
Other names include Kālarātri ("black night"), as described above, and Kālikā ("relating to time"), and Kallie ("black alchemist"). Coburn notes that the name Kālī can be used as a proper name, or as a description of color.
Kāli's association with darkness stands in contrast to her consort, Shiva, whose body is covered by the white ashes of the cremation ground (Sanskrit: śmaśāna) where he meditates, and with which Kāli is also associated, as śmaśāna-kālī.
ORIGINS
Hugh Urban notes that although the word Kālī appears as early as the Atharva Veda, the first use of it as a proper name is in the Kathaka Grhya Sutra (19.7). Kali is the name of one of the seven tongues of Agni, the [Rigvedic] God of Fire, in the Mundaka Upanishad (2:4), but it is unlikely that this refers to the goddess. The first appearance of Kāli in her present form is in the Sauptika Parvan of the Mahabharata (10.8.64). She is called Kālarātri (literally, "black night") and appears to the Pandava soldiers in dreams, until finally she appears amidst the fighting during an attack by Drona's son Ashwatthama. She most famously appears in the sixth century Devi Mahatmyam as one of the shaktis of Mahadevi, and defeats the demon Raktabija ("Bloodseed"). The tenth-century Kalika Purana venerates Kāli as the ultimate reality.
According to David Kinsley, Kāli is first mentioned in Hinduism as a distinct goddess around 600 CE, and these texts "usually place her on the periphery of Hindu society or on the battlefield." She is often regarded as the Shakti of Shiva, and is closely associated with him in various Puranas. The Kalika Purana depicts her as the "Adi Shakti" (Fundamental Power) and "Para Prakriti" or beyond nature.
WORSHIP AND MANTRA
Kali could be considered a general concept, like Durga, and is mostly worshiped in the Kali Kula sect of worship. The closest way of direct worship is Maha Kali or Bhadra Kali (Bhadra in Sanskrit means 'gentle'). Kali is worshiped as one of the 10 Mahavidya forms of Adi Parashakti (Goddess Durga) or Bhagavathy according to the region. The mantra for worship is
Sanskrit: सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके । शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते ॥
ॐ जयंती मंगल काली भद्रकाली कपालिनी । दुर्गा शिवा क्षमा धात्री स्वाहा स्वधा नमोऽस्तुते ॥
(Sarvamaṅgalamāṅgalyē śivē sarvārthasādhikē . śaraṇyē tryambakē gauri nārāyaṇi namō'stu tē.
Oṃ jayantī mangala kālī bhadrakālī kapālinī . durgā śivā ksamā dhātrī svāhā svadhā namō'stutē.)
YANTRA
Goddesses play an important role in the study and practice of Tantra Yoga, and are affirmed to be as central to discerning the nature of reality as are the male deities. Although Parvati is often said to be the recipient and student of Shiva's wisdom in the form of Tantras, it is Kali who seems to dominate much of the Tantric iconography, texts, and rituals. In many sources Kāli is praised as the highest reality or greatest of all deities. The Nirvana-tantra says the gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva all arise from her like bubbles in the sea, ceaselessly arising and passing away, leaving their original source unchanged. The Niruttara-tantra and the Picchila-tantra declare all of Kāli's mantras to be the greatest and the Yogini-tantra, Kamakhya-tantra and the Niruttara-tantra all proclaim Kāli vidyas (manifestations of Mahadevi, or "divinity itself"). They declare her to be an essence of her own form (svarupa) of the Mahadevi.In the Mahanirvana-tantra, Kāli is one of the epithets for the primordial sakti, and in one passage Shiva praises her:At the dissolution of things, it is Kāla [Time]. Who will devour all, and by reason of this He is called Mahākāla [an epithet of Lord Shiva], and since Thou devourest Mahākāla Himself, it is Thou who art the Supreme Primordial Kālika. Because Thou devourest Kāla, Thou art Kāli, the original form of all things, and because Thou art the Origin of and devourest all things Thou art called the Adya [the Primordial One]. Re-assuming after Dissolution Thine own form, dark and formless, Thou alone remainest as One ineffable and inconceivable. Though having a form, yet art Thou formless; though Thyself without beginning, multiform by the power of Maya, Thou art the Beginning of all, Creatrix, Protectress, and Destructress that Thou art. The figure of Kāli conveys death, destruction, and the consuming aspects of reality. As such, she is also a "forbidden thing", or even death itself. In the Pancatattva ritual, the sadhaka boldly seeks to confront Kali, and thereby assimilates and transforms her into a vehicle of salvation. This is clear in the work of the Karpuradi-stotra, a short praise of Kāli describing the Pancatattva ritual unto her, performed on cremation grounds. (Samahana-sadhana)He, O Mahākāli who in the cremation-ground, naked, and with dishevelled hair, intently meditates upon Thee and recites Thy mantra, and with each recitation makes offering to Thee of a thousand Akanda flowers with seed, becomes without any effort a Lord of the earth. Oh Kāli, whoever on Tuesday at midnight, having uttered Thy mantra, makes offering even but once with devotion to Thee of a hair of his Shakti [his energy/female companion] in the cremation-ground, becomes a great poet, a Lord of the earth, and ever goes mounted upon an elephant.The Karpuradi-stotra clearly indicates that Kāli is more than a terrible, vicious, slayer of demons who serves Durga or Shiva. Here, she is identified as the supreme mistress of the universe, associated with the five elements. In union with Lord Shiva, she creates and destroys worlds. Her appearance also takes a different turn, befitting her role as ruler of the world and object of meditation. In contrast to her terrible aspects, she takes on hints of a more benign dimension. She is described as young and beautiful, has a gentle smile, and makes gestures with her two right hands to dispel any fear and offer boons. The more positive features exposed offer the distillation of divine wrath into a goddess of salvation, who rids the sadhaka of fear. Here, Kali appears as a symbol of triumph over death.
BENGALI TRADITION
Kali is also a central figure in late medieval Bengali devotional literature, with such devotees as Ramprasad Sen (1718–75). With the exception of being associated with Parvati as Shiva's consort, Kāli is rarely pictured in Hindu legends and iconography as a motherly figure until Bengali devotions beginning in the early eighteenth century. Even in Bengāli tradition her appearance and habits change little, if at all.
The Tantric approach to Kāli is to display courage by confronting her on cremation grounds in the dead of night, despite her terrible appearance. In contrast, the Bengali devotee appropriates Kāli's teachings adopting the attitude of a child, coming to love her unreservedly. In both cases, the goal of the devotee is to become reconciled with death and to learn acceptance of the way that things are. These themes are well addressed in Rāmprasād's work. Rāmprasād comments in many of his other songs that Kāli is indifferent to his wellbeing, causes him to suffer, brings his worldly desires to nothing and his worldly goods to ruin. He also states that she does not behave like a mother should and that she ignores his pleas:
Can mercy be found in the heart of her who was born of the stone? [a reference to Kali as the daughter of Himalaya]
Were she not merciless, would she kick the breast of her lord?
Men call you merciful, but there is no trace of mercy in you, Mother.
You have cut off the heads of the children of others, and these you wear as a garland around your neck.
It matters not how much I call you "Mother, Mother." You hear me, but you will not listen.
To be a child of Kāli, Rāmprasād asserts, is to be denied of earthly delights and pleasures. Kāli is said to refrain from giving that which is expected. To the devotee, it is perhaps her very refusal to do so that enables her devotees to reflect on dimensions of themselves and of reality that go beyond the material world.
A significant portion of Bengali devotional music features Kāli as its central theme and is known as Shyama Sangeet ("Music of the Night"). Mostly sung by male vocalists, today even women have taken to this form of music. One of the finest singers of Shyāma Sāngeet is Pannalal Bhattacharya.
In Bengal, Kāli is venerated in the festival Kali Puja, the new moon day of Ashwin month which coincides with Diwali festival.
In a unique form of Kāli worship, Shantipur worships Kāli in the form of a hand painted image of the deity known as Poteshwari (meaning the deity drawn on a piece of cloth).
LEGENDS
SLAYER AND RAKTABIJA
In Kāli's most famous legend, Devi Durga (Adi Parashakti) and her assistants, the Matrikas, wound the demon Raktabija, in various ways and with a variety of weapons in an attempt to destroy him. They soon find that they have worsened the situation for with every drop of blood that is dripped from Raktabija he reproduces a clone of himself. The battlefield becomes increasingly filled with his duplicates. Durga, in need of help, summons Kāli to combat the demons. It is said, in some versions, that Goddess Durga actually assumes the form of Goddess Kāli at this time. The Devi Mahatmyam describes:
Out of the surface of her (Durga's) forehead, fierce with frown, issued suddenly Kali of terrible countenance, armed with a sword and noose. Bearing the strange khatvanga (skull-topped staff ), decorated with a garland of skulls, clad in a tiger's skin, very appalling owing to her emaciated flesh, with gaping mouth, fearful with her tongue lolling out, having deep reddish eyes, filling the regions of the sky with her roars, falling upon impetuously and slaughtering the great asuras in that army, she devoured those hordes of the foes of the devas.
Kali consumes Raktabija and his duplicates, and dances on the corpses of the slain. In the Devi Mahatmya version of this story, Kali is also described as a Matrika and as a Shakti or power of Devi. She is given the epithet Cāṃuṇḍā (Chamunda), i.e. the slayer of the demons Chanda and Munda. Chamunda is very often identified with Kali and is very much like her in appearance and habit.
DAKSHINA KALI
In her most famous pose as Daksinakali, popular legends say that Kali, drunk on the blood of her victims, is about to destroy the whole universe when, urged by all the gods, Shiva lies in her way to stop her, and she steps upon his chest. Recognizing Shiva beneath her feet, she calms herself. Though not included in any of the puranas, popular legends state that Kali was ashamed at the prospect of keeping her husband beneath her feet and thus stuck her tongue out in shame. The Devi-Bhagavata Purana, which goes into great depths about the goddess Kali, reveals the tongue's actual symbolism.
The characteristic icons that depict Kali are the following; unbridled matted hair, open blood shot eyes, open mouth and a drooping tongue; in her hands, she holds a Khadga (bent sword or scimitar) and a human head; she has a girdle of human hands across her waist, and Shiva lies beneath her feet. The drooping out-stuck tongue represents her blood-thirst. Lord Shiva beneath her feet represents matter, as Kali energy. The depiction of Kali on Shiva shows that without energy, matter lies "dead". This concept has been simplified to a folk-tale depicting a wife placing her foot
on her husband and sticking her tongue out in shame. In tantric contexts, the tongue is seen to denote the element (guna) of rajas (energy and action) controlled by sattva.
If Kali steps on Shiva with her right foot and holds the sword in her left hand, she is considered to be Dakshina Kali. The Dakshina Kali Temple has important religious associations with the Jagannath Temple and it is believed that Daksinakali is the guardian of the kitchen of the Lord Jagannath Temple. Puranic tradition says that in Puri, Lord Jagannath is regarded as Daksinakalika. Goddess Dakshinakali plays an important role in the 'Niti' of Saptapuri Amavasya.
One South Indian tradition tells of a dance contest between Shiva and Kali. After defeating the two demons Sumbha and Nisumbha, Kali takes up residence in the forest of Thiruvalankadu or Thiruvalangadu. She terrorizes the surrounding area with her fierce, disruptive nature. One of Shiva's devotees becomes distracted while performing austerities, and asks Shiva to rid the forest of the destructive goddess. When Shiva arrives, Kali threatens him, and Shiva challenges Kali to a dance contest, wherein Kali matches Shiva until Shiva takes the "Urdhvatandava" step, vertically raising his right leg. Kali refuses to perform this step, which would not befit her as a woman, and becomes pacified.
SMASHAN KALI
If the Kali steps out with the left foot and holds the sword in her right hand, she is the terrible form of Mother, the Smashan Kali of the cremation ground. She is worshiped by tantrics, the followers of Tantra, who believe that one's spiritual discipline practiced in a smashan (cremation ground) brings success quickly. Sarda Devi, the consort of Ramakrishna Paramhansa, worshipped Smashan Kali at Dakshineshwar.
MATERNAL KALI
At the time of samundra manthan when amrit came out, along with that came out poison which was going to destroy the world hence on the request of all the gods, Lord Shiva drank it to save the world but as he is beyond death he didn't die but was very much in pain due to the poison effect hence he became a child so that Kali can feed him with her milk which will sooth out the poison effect.
MAHAKALI
Mahakali (Sanskrit: Mahākālī, Devanagari: महाकाली), literally translated as Great Kali, is sometimes considered as a greater form of Kali, identified with the Ultimate reality of Brahman. It can also be used as an honorific of the Goddess Kali, signifying her greatness by the prefix "Mahā-". Mahakali, in Sanskrit, is etymologically the feminized variant of Mahakala or Great Time (which is interpreted also as Death), an epithet of the God Shiva in Hinduism. Mahakali is the presiding Goddess of the first episode of the Devi Mahatmya. Here she is depicted as Devi in her universal form as Shakti. Here Devi serves as the agent who allows the cosmic order to be restored.
Kali is depicted in the Mahakali form as having ten heads, ten arms, and ten legs. Each of her ten hands is carrying a various implement which vary in different accounts, but each of these represent the power of one of the Devas or Hindu Gods and are often the identifying weapon or ritual item of a given Deva. The implication is that Mahakali subsumes and is responsible for the powers that these deities possess and this is in line with the interpretation that Mahakali is identical with Brahman. While not displaying ten heads, an "ekamukhi" or one headed image may be displayed with ten arms, signifying the same concept: the powers of the various Gods come only through Her grace.
ICONOGRAPHY
Kali is portrayed mostly in two forms: the popular four-armed form and the ten-armed Mahakali form. In both of her forms, she is described as being black in color but is most often depicted as blue in popular Indian art. Her eyes are described as red with intoxication, and in absolute rage, her hair is shown disheveled, small fangs sometimes protrude out of her mouth, and her tongue is lolling. She is often shown naked or just wearing a skirt made of human arms and a garland of human heads. She is also accompanied by serpents and a jackal while standing on a seemingly dead Shiva, usually right foot forward to symbolize the more popular Dakshinamarga or right-handed path, as opposed to the more infamous and transgressive Vamamarga or left-handed path.
In the ten-armed form of Mahakali she is depicted as shining like a blue stone. She has ten faces, ten feet, and three eyes for each head. She has ornaments decked on all her limbs. There is no association with Shiva.
The Kalika Purana describes Kali as possessing a soothing dark complexion, as perfectly beautiful, riding a lion, four-armed, holding a sword and blue lotuses, her hair unrestrained, body firm and youthful.
In spite of her seemingly terrible form, Kali Ma is often considered the kindest and most loving of all the Hindu goddesses, as she is regarded by her devotees as the Mother of the whole Universe. And because of her terrible form, she is also often seen as a great protector. When the Bengali saint Ramakrishna once asked a devotee why one would prefer to worship Mother over him, this devotee rhetorically replied, "Maharaj", when they are in trouble your devotees come running to you. But, where do you run when you are in trouble?"
According to Ramakrishna, darkness is the Ultimate Mother, or Kali:
My Mother is the principle of consciousness. She is Akhanda Satchidananda;
indivisible Reality, Awareness, and Bliss. The night sky between the stars is perfectly black.
The waters of the ocean depths are the same; The infinite is always mysteriously dark.
This inebriating darkness is my beloved Kali.
—Sri Ramakrishna
This is clear in the works of such contemporary artists as Charles Wish, and Tyeb Mehta, who sometimes take great liberties with the traditional, accepted symbolism, but still demonstrate a true reverence for the Shakta sect.
POPULAR FORM
Classic depictions of Kali share several features, as follows:
Kali's most common four armed iconographic image shows each hand carrying variously a sword, a trishul (trident), a severed head, and a bowl or skull-cup (kapala) catching the blood of the severed head.
Two of these hands (usually the left) are holding a sword and a severed head. The Sword signifies Divine Knowledge and the Human Head signifies human Ego which must be slain by Divine Knowledge in order to attain Moksha. The other two hands (usually the right) are in the abhaya (fearlessness) and varada (blessing) mudras, which means her initiated devotees (or anyone worshipping her with a true heart) will be saved as she will guide them here and in the hereafter.
She has a garland consisting of human heads, variously enumerated at 108 (an auspicious number in Hinduism and the number of countable beads on a Japa Mala or rosary for repetition of Mantras) or 51, which represents Varnamala or the Garland of letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, Devanagari. Hindus believe Sanskrit is a language of dynamism, and each of these letters represents a form of energy, or a form of Kali. Therefore, she is generally seen as the mother of language, and all mantras.
She is often depicted naked which symbolizes her being beyond the covering of Maya since she is pure (nirguna) being-consciousness-bliss and far above prakriti. She is shown as very dark as she is brahman in its supreme unmanifest state. She has no permanent qualities - she will continue to exist even when the universe ends. It is therefore believed that the concepts of color, light, good, bad do not apply to her - she is the pure, un-manifested energy, the Adi-shakti.
Kali as the Symbol of Creation , Freedom , Preservation and Destruction
The head that hangs in Kali's hand is a symbol of Ego and the scimitar which she is holding represents power and energy.It is believed that Kali is protecting the human race by that scimitar and also destroying the negativity and ego within human being. The body lying under Kali symbolizes ruination, is actually a form of Shiva. Kali steps her leg on the chest of the body and suppress ruination . Since she is standing on the pure white chest of Lord Shiva who, as pure primal awareness, lays in a passive reclining position, peacefully lies with his eyes half open in a state of bliss. Her hair is long, black and flowing freely depicting Her freedom from convention and the confines of conceptualization. The white teeth which Kali has stands for conscience and her red tongue represents greed. By pressing her white teeth on her tongue Kali refers to control greed.The goddess may appear terrible from outside but every symbol in Kali signifies truth of life. Since the earth was created out of darkness, the dark black color of Kali symbolizes the color from which everything was born. Her right hand side arms she shows the Abhaya mudra(gesture of fearlessness) and Vara mudra (gesture of welcome and charity) respectively . But on the other arm in left side she holds a bloody scimitar and a severed head depicting destruction and end of ego.
Kali as the Symbol of Mother Nature
The name Kali means Kala or force of time. When there were neither the creation, nor the sun, the moon, the planets, and the earth, there was only darkness and everything was created from the darkness. The Dark appearance of kali represents the darkness from which everything was born. Her complexion is deep blue, like the sky and ocean water as blue. As she is also the goddess of Preservation Kali is worshiped as mother to preserve the nature.Kali is standing calm on Shiva, her appearance represents the preservation of mother nature. Her free, long and black hair represents nature's freedom from civilization. Under the third eye of kali, the signs of both sun, moon and fire are visible which represent the driving forces of nature.
SHIVA IN KALI ICONOGRAPHY
In both these images she is shown standing on the prone, inert or dead body of Shiva. There is a legend for the reason behind her standing on what appears to be Shiva's corpse, which translates as follows:
Once Kali had destroyed all the demons in battle, she began a terrific dance out of the sheer joy of victory. All the worlds or lokas began to tremble and sway under the impact of her dance. So, at the request of all the Gods, Shiva himself asked her to desist from this behavior. However, she was too intoxicated to listen. Hence, Shiva lay like a corpse among the slain demons in order to absorb the shock of the dance into himself. When Kali eventually stepped upon Shiva, she realized she was trampling and hurting her husband and bit her tongue in shame.
The story described here is a popular folk tale and not described or hinted in any of the puranas. The puranic interpretation is as follows:
Once, Parvati asks Shiva to chose the one form among her 10 forms which he likes most. To her surprise, Shiva reveals that he is most comfortable with her Kali form, in which she is bereft of her jewellery, her human-form, her clothes, her emotions and where she is only raw, chaotic energy, where she is as terrible as time itself and even greater than time. As Parvati takes the form of Kali, Shiva lies at her feet and requests her to place her foot on his chest, upon his heart. Once in this form, Shiva requests her to have this place, below her feet in her iconic image which would be worshiped throughout.
This idea has been explored in the Devi-Bhagavata Purana [28] and is most popular in the Shyama Sangeet, devotional songs to Kali from the 12th to 15th centuries.
The Tantric interpretation of Kali standing on top of her husband is as follows:
The Shiv tattava (Divine Consciousness as Shiva) is inactive, while the Shakti tattava (Divine Energy as Kali) is active. Shiva and Kali represent Brahman, the Absolute pure consciousness which is beyond all names, forms and activities. Kali, on the other hand, represents the potential (and manifested) energy responsible for all names, forms and activities. She is his Shakti, or creative power, and is seen as the substance behind the entire content of all consciousness. She can never exist apart from Shiva or act independently of him, just as Shiva remains a mere corpse without Kali i.e., Shakti, all the matter/energy of the universe, is not distinct from Shiva, or Brahman, but is rather the dynamic power of Brahman. Hence, Kali is Para Brahman in the feminine and dynamic aspect while Shiva is the male aspect and static. She stands as the absolute basis for all life, energy and beneath her feet lies, Shiva, a metaphor for mass, which cannot retain its form without energy.
While this is an advanced concept in monistic Shaktism, it also agrees with the Nondual Trika philosophy of Kashmir, popularly known as Kashmir Shaivism and associated most famously with Abhinavagupta. There is a colloquial saying that "Shiva without Shakti is Shava" which means that without the power of action (Shakti) that is Mahakali (represented as the short "i" in Devanagari) Shiva (or consciousness itself) is inactive; Shava means corpse in Sanskrit and the play on words is that all Sanskrit consonants are assumed to be followed by a short letter "a" unless otherwise noted. The short letter "i" represents the female power or Shakti that activates Creation. This is often the explanation for why She is standing on Shiva, who is either Her husband and complement in Shaktism or the Supreme Godhead in Shaivism.
To properly understand this complex Tantric symbolism it is important to remember that the meaning behind Shiva and Kali does not stray from the non-dualistic parlance of Shankara or the Upanisads. According to both the Mahanirvana and Kularnava Tantras, there are two distinct ways of perceiving the same absolute reality. The first is a transcendental plane which is often described as static, yet infinite. It is here that there is no matter, there is no universe and only consciousness exists. This form of reality is known as Shiva, the absolute Sat-Chit-Ananda - existence, knowledge and bliss. The second is an active plane, an immanent plane, the plane of matter, of Maya, i.e., where the illusion of space-time and the appearance of an actual universe does exist. This form of reality is known as Kali or Shakti, and (in its entirety) is still specified as the same Absolute Sat-Chit-Ananda. It is here in this second plane that the universe (as we commonly know it) is experienced and is described by the Tantric seer as the play of Shakti, or God as Mother Kali.
From a Tantric perspective, when one meditates on reality at rest, as absolute pure consciousness (without the activities of creation, preservation or dissolution) one refers to this as Shiva or Brahman. When one meditates on reality as dynamic and creative, as the Absolute content of pure consciousness (with all the activities of creation, preservation or dissolution) one refers to it as Kali or Shakti. However, in either case the yogini or yogi is interested in one and the same reality - the only difference being in name and fluctuating aspects of appearance. It is this which is generally accepted as the meaning of Kali standing on the chest of Shiva.
Although there is often controversy surrounding the images of divine copulation, the general consensus is benign and free from any carnal impurities in its substance. In Tantra the human body is a symbol for the microcosm of the universe; therefore sexual process is responsible for the creation of the world. Although theoretically Shiva and Kali (or Shakti) are inseparable, like fire and its power to burn, in the case of creation they are often seen as having separate roles. With Shiva as male and Kali as female it is only by their union that creation may transpire. This reminds us of the prakrti and purusa doctrine of Samkhya wherein prakāśa- vimarśa has no practical value, just as without prakrti, purusa is quite inactive. This (once again) stresses the interdependencies of Shiva and Shakti and the vitality of their union.
Gopi Krishna proposed that Kali standing on the dead Shiva or Shava (Sanskrit for dead body) symbolised the helplessness of a person undergoing the changing process (psychologically and physiologically) in the body conducted by the Kundalini Shakti.
DEVELOPMENT
In the later traditions, Kali has become inextricably linked with Shiva. The unleashed form of Kali often becomes wild and uncontrollable, and only Shiva is able to tame her just as only Kali can tame Shiva. This is both because she is often a transformed version of one of his consorts and because he is able to match her wildness.
The ancient text of Kali Kautuvam describes her competition with Shiva in dance, from which the sacred 108 Karanas appeared. Shiva won the competition by acting the urdva tandava, one of the Karanas, by raising his feet to his head. Other texts describe Shiva appearing as a crying infant and appealing to her maternal instincts. While Shiva is said to be able to tame her, the iconography often presents her dancing on his fallen body, and there are accounts of the two of them dancing together, and driving each other to such wildness that the world comes close to unravelling.
Shiva's involvement with Tantra and Kali's dark nature have led to her becoming an important Tantric figure. To the Tantric worshippers, it was essential to face her Curse, the terror of death, as willingly as they accepted Blessings from her beautiful, nurturing, maternal aspect. For them, wisdom meant learning that no coin has only one side: as death cannot exist without life, so life cannot exist without death. Kali's role sometimes grew beyond that of a chaos - which could be confronted - to that of one who could bring wisdom, and she is given great metaphysical significance by some Tantric texts. The Nirvāna-tantra clearly presents her uncontrolled nature as the Ultimate Reality, claiming that the trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra arise and disappear from her like bubbles from the sea. Although this is an extreme case, the Yogini-tantra, Kamakhya-tantra and the Niruttara-tantra declare her the svarupa (own-being) of the Mahadevi (the great Goddess, who is in this case seen as the combination of all devis).The final stage of development is the worshipping of Kali as the Great Mother, devoid of her usual violence. This practice is a break from the more traditional depictions. The pioneers of this tradition are the 18th century Shakta poets such as Ramprasad Sen, who show an awareness of Kali's ambivalent nature. Ramakrishna, the 19th century Bengali saint, was also a great devotee of Kali; the western popularity of whom may have contributed to the more modern, equivocal interpretations of this Goddess. Rachel McDermott's work, however, suggests that for the common, modern worshipper, Kali is not seen as fearful, and only those educated in old traditions see her as having a wrathful component. Some credit to the development of Devi must also be given to Samkhya. Commonly referred to as the Devi of delusion, Mahamaya or Durga, acting in the confines of (but not being bound by) the nature of the three gunas, takes three forms: Maha-Kali, Maha-Lakshmi and Maha-Saraswati, being her tamas-ika, rajas-ika and sattva-ika forms. In this sense, Kali is simply part of a larger whole.
Like Sir John Woodroffe and Georg Feuerstein, many Tantric scholars (as well as sincere practitioners) agree that, no matter how propitious or appalling you describe them, Shiva and Devi are simply recognizable symbols for everyday, abstract (yet tangible) concepts such as perception, knowledge, space-time, causation and the process of liberating oneself from the confines of such things. Shiva, symbolizing pure, absolute consciousness, and Devi, symbolizing the entire content of that consciousness, are ultimately one and the same - totality incarnate, a micro-macro-cosmic amalgamation of all subjects, all objects and all phenomenal relations between the "two." Like man and woman who both share many common, human traits yet at the same time they are still different and, therefore, may also be seen as complementary.
Worshippers prescribe various benign and horrific qualities to Devi simply out of practicality. They do this so they may have a variety of symbols to choose from, symbols which they can identify and relate with from the perspective of their own, ever-changing time, place and personal level of unfolding. Just like modern chemists or physicists use a variety of molecular and atomic models to describe what is unperceivable through rudimentary, sensory input, the scientists of ontology and epistemology must do the same. One of the underlying distinctions of Tantra, in comparison to other religions, is that it allows the devotee the liberty to choose from a vast array of complementary symbols and rhetoric which suit one's evolving needs and tastes. From an aesthetic standpoint, nothing is interdict and nothing is orthodox. In this sense, the projection of some of Devi's more gentle qualities onto Kali is not sacrilege and the development of Kali really lies in the practitioner, not the murthi.
A TIME magazine article of October 27, 1947, used Kali as a symbol and metaphor for the human suffering in British India during its partition that year. In 1971, Ms. Magazine used an image of Kali, her multiple arms juggling modern tasks, as a symbol of modern womanhood on its inaugural issue.
Swami Vivekananda wrote his favorite poem Kali the Mother in 1898.
KALI IN NEOPAGAN AND NEW AGE PRACTICE
An academic study of Western Kali enthusiasts noted that, "as shown in the histories of all cross-cultural religious transplants, Kali devotionalism in the West must take on its own indigenous forms if it is to adapt to its new environment."[60] The adoption of Kali by the West has raised accusations of cultural appropriation:
A variety of writers and thinkers have found Kali an exciting figure for reflection and exploration, notably feminists and participants in New Age spirituality who are attracted to goddess worship. [For them], Kali is a symbol of wholeness and healing, associated especially with repressed female power and sexuality. [However, such interpretations often exhibit] confusion and misrepresentation, stemming from a lack of knowledge of Hindu history among these authors, [who only rarely] draw upon materials written by scholars of the Hindu religious tradition. The majority instead rely chiefly on other popular feminist sources, almost none of which base their interpretations on a close reading of Kali's Indian background. The most important issue arising from this discussion - even more important than the question of 'correct' interpretation - concerns the adoption of other people's religious symbols. It is hard to import the worship of a goddess from another culture: religious associations and connotations have to be learned, imagined or intuited when the deep symbolic meanings embedded in the native culture are not available.
INCARNATIONS OF KALI
Draupadi, Wife of Pandavas, was an avatar of Kali, who born to assist Lord Krishna to destroy arrogant kings of India. There is a temple dedicated to this incarnation at Banni Mata Temple at Himachal Pradesh. The vedic deity Nirriti or the Puranic deity Alakshmi is often considered as incarnations of Kali.

This is actual a combination of images of two different streets in our town. I then did a black and white image and the original color image and layered them together to make this image. It kinds of reminds me of that show (Charlie Jade) but with a cheap car. Corel and Exposure 2 was used in each layer. I should also add that the shadow that looks like a huge spider was not planned...but i like it!

The Need for New Representational Principles
(My notes on this, please feel free to add or clarify anything I have said, it is just my [poor] understanding.)
- Ecological Affordance introduced by James J. Gibson (1979), The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception (an interesting sidebar - this was about the last thing that Gibson published before his death in 1979 at age 75.) A number of his writings are on-line, published as the Purple Perils
- Distributed Connectionist Representations (PDP - which is Parallel Distributed Processing was the start of Connectionism I had colleagues who did research in this area in the early 1990s, at the time I was not as curious as I could have been, being wrapped up in some completely different projects. Now - I have begun to tie it together, funny how that works! The classic work was done by James McClelland, David Rumelhart and the PDP Research Group. They wrote a two volume book: Parallel Distributed Processing: Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition in 1986)

The Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) is a species of requiem shark, family Carcharhinidae, easily identified by the prominent black tips on its fins (especially on the first dorsal fin and the caudal fin). Among the most abundant sharks inhabiting the tropical coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, this species prefers shallow, inshore waters, and its exposed first dorsal fin is a common sight in the region. Most blacktip reef sharks are found over reef ledges and sandy flats, though they have also been known to enter brackish and freshwater environments. This species typically attains a length of 1.6 m (5.2 ft).
Blacktip reef sharks have extremely small home ranges and exhibit strong site fidelity, remaining within same local area for up to several years at a time. They are active predators of small bony fishes, cephalopods, and crustaceans, and have also been known to feed on sea snakes and seabirds. Accounts of the blacktip reef shark's life history have been variable and sometimes contradictory, in part reflecting geographical differences within the species. Like other members of its family, this shark is viviparous with females giving birth to two to five young on a biennial, annual, or possibly biannual cycle. Reports of the gestation period range from 7–9, to 10–11, to possibly 16 months. Mating is preceded by the male following closely behind the female, likely attracted by her chemical signals. Newborn sharks are found further inshore and in shallower water than adults, frequently roaming in large groups over areas flooded by high tide.
Timid and skittish, the blacktip reef shark is difficult to approach and seldom poses a danger to humans unless roused by food. However, people wading through shallow water are at risk of having their legs mistakenly bitten. This shark is used for its meat, fins, and liver oil, but is not considered to be a commercially significant species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the blacktip reef shark as Near Threatened. Although the species as a whole remains widespread and relatively common, overfishing of this slow-reproducing shark has led to its decline at a number of locales.
Advice: For those who are about to encounter a shark, please feel free to run on water.

Le Requin A Pointes Noires est une espèce de requin qui vit près des côtes, généralement en groupe. Il ne présente guère de danger pour l'homme ; toutefois, les pêcheurs en apnée s'en méfient car, en présence de poissons blessés, il perd toute inhibition. Dans la journée, il se repose souvent dans des grottes ou des abris des récifs.
Ce requin est assez craintif et il est considéré comme inoffensif. Toutefois, en présence de stimulation alimentaire (poisson venant d'être pêché par exemple), son comportement peut devenir insistant et le risque de morsure (généralement peu grave) devient réel surtout en groupe où la frénésie alimentaire peut alors se manifester. Le requin à pointes noires, compte tenu de son habitat à faible profondeur lorsqu'il est jeune, a la faculté de bronzer afin de se protéger du soleil, on observe aussi ce phénomène avec le requin nourrice. Pouvant accélérer très rapidement, sa vitesse de pointe a été mesurée à 37 km/h. Il mesure jusqu'à 1.60m.
Les organes du goût sont situés dans la bouche et dans le pharynx. Si le goût d’une proie ne lui plait pas, le requin la recrache et part chercher pitance ailleurs. Les concombres de mer et certains poissons libèrent des substances répulsives qui éloignent les requins.
Les requins possèdent un sens tout à fait particulier basé sur la perception des courants électriques (ampoule de lorenzini). Autour de la bouche, il disposent de petites vésicules sensibles grâce aux quelles ils peuvent analyser les champs électriques émis par des êtres vivants qui se trouvent à proximité et repèrent leur proie, même si ces dernières sont cachées sous le sable. Ce sens original permettrait aussi au requin de s’orienter par rapport au champ magnétique terrestre aux moments des migrations.
L’odorat du requin est l’un des plus efficace du règne animal. Il lui permet de détecter des proies à plusieurs kilomètres de distance. L’eau pénètre dans ses narines et circule dans un sac olfactif. Grâce aux lamelles qu’il contient il y a une grande surface de contact entre l’eau et les cellules sensorielles. Ce système permet au requin de détecter de faibles quantité de substances contenues dans plusieurs litres d’eau.
Conseil : si vous voulez marcher sur l'eau, rencontrez un requin !
