Market Colonnade in Karlovy Vary’s pedestrian area Tržiště street, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
Some background information:
Colonnades are classical-looking structures with long sequences of columns joined by their entablature. Sometimes they’re free-standing and sometimes even parts of buildings.
In the 19th century colonnades used to be important elements of spa style and the most sophisticated spa towns adorned themselves with beautiful colonnades, which were roofing the healing springs and serving the wealthy spa guests as pump rooms.
Market Colonnade (Tržní kolonáda) is a white wooden building designed in Swiss style, which was built in 1883 just to cover two important healing springs for a couple of years. But since then it’s still covering the Charles IV and Market Springs, because the town was always deciding in favour of its preservation and reconstruction.
Like the plans for many other buildings in Karlovy Vary, also the plans for Market Colonnade came from the architectural office of Fellner and Helmer in Vienna. Market Colonnade has a gabled roof and wooden walls on three sides. The façade opens up to an arcade, which contains both healing springs and is still used as a pump room. It’s decorated with various motifs, which are carved in wood and renowned from lace embroidery. Above the well of the Charles IV Spring a relief depicting the legend of the discovery of Karlovy Vary can be seen. According to this legend, it was the Charles IV Spring, which contributed to the decision of the emperor Charles IV to build a spa at this spot.
Karlovy Vary (also known as Carlsbad in English-speaking countries and Karlsbad in Germany), is a spa city situated in Western Bohemia with about 55,000 residents. It’s located on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 81 miles (130 km) west of Prague. Karovy Vary is named after Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, who founded the town in 1370.
There are 13 main hot springs in the urban area and another 300 smaller springs. The city’s health spa business was given a first boost in the years 1711 and 1712, when the Russian tsar Peter the Great paid it two visits. In this respect very useful were also the publications of the then well-known doctor David Becher, which purported spa treatments in Karlovy Vary and encouraged the administration of sodium sulfate.
However it was not until the 19th century that Karlovy Vary came to real fame as a health spa. The city’s positive development was moved up by the completion of the railway lines to Eger and Prague in 1870. While in the 1756 season only 134 families visited the spa town, at the end of the 19th century already 26,000 guests could be welcomed. During this time Karlovy Vary became a main venue of European aristocracy and was much affected by aristocrats from both Central Europe and tsaristic Russia. By 1911, the figure of visitors had reached 71,000, but World War I put an end to tourism and also led to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire by late 1918.
Nowadays Karlovy Vary is again a very popular tourist destination and spa town. Many German visitors can be seen (and heard) in the city centre, but it’s also very popular with tourists from the US and Asia. One of the biggest groups of visitors are wealthy people from Russia, whose number steadily increased since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of Communist rule in the Czech Republic. That’s why many local tradespeople already adapted themselves to the new moneyed aristocracy from Eastern Europe.
Today’s Karlovy Vary of course is not only famous for its hot springs, but also for its beautiful uniform appearance with many buidlings from the classicism, the founding and above all the art noveau period. Famous goods include glass products from the manufacturer Moser Glass, the round and filled Carlsbad spa wafers as well as the popular Czeck liqueur Karlovarská Becherovka.
Finally it should be mentioned that Karlovy Vary has been used as a set for a number of films, such as "Casino Royal", the first James Bond film starring Daniel Craig. In "Casino Royal" Karlovy Vary’s Grandhotel Pupp appeared in different scenes.

This is 'Kitty', a performance character from a theater piece choreographed years ago called "Canticles". She has been shamed into life in the blur of peripheral vision, perpetually apologetic and trepidacious. But also, she may have something sharp hidden in her jacket...
"All your life you live so close to truth, it becomes a permanent blur in the corner of your eye and when something nudges it into outline, it's like being ambushed by a grotesque."
Tom Stoppard 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"
(I don't have the exact quote handy, but that's pretty close.)

All I could think, when I thought of the word PERMANENT was how UN-permanent everything really is. I was struggling to find something to photograph, and I didn't want to stoop to the very permanent stain on my white quilt. But I knew there had to be something. And then I thought of it. The connection we have with each other. We may not always be together, and we may not always like each other, but there is a permanent line of connection and love and knowing that runs between us and always will.

A devotee.
My Experienceof Chhath
I am a permanent resident of Kolkata, but I never witnessed the celebration of Chhath Pooja here. Lakhs of migrant residents from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and other states of India and Nepal as well, celebrated their most ancient festival along the bank of river Hoogly, the sacred river that flows through the city. On 6th November this year, around 2pm, I went to a famous ghat on the bank of river Hoogly opposite to Eden gardens. It was an unique photographic journey to witness how people performed their rituals with so much devotion and faith. I saw hundreds of devotees sitting on the banks quietly with their offerings to Sun God and some performing their rituals with half of their bodies immersed in the Ganges, and some with fire, called ‘Homas’. I was closely looking at them, and I was amazed by their dedication, devotion and complacency. Thousands of devotees were found proceeding towards the Ganges with their offerings, all cladded in bright clothes and ornaments, and many were found on their way to lay prone on the roads touching their whole body (Ashtanga or eight parts of the body) on the Earth and performing ‘Dondis’(Surya Namaskara -Sanskrit: सूर्यनमस्कार, Sun Salutation). Many of the family members, including newborn kids were found lying on the roads waiting for the main worshipper of the family to crossover their bodies as a way to get blessings from them. Most of the main family worshippers were found to be the eldest ladies of the family. Through Chhath, I rediscovered my religious India, in a new and beautiful way.
Chhath Pooja
Chhath is an ancient Hindu Vedic festival of worshiping Sun God, as the Rigveda contains hymns worshiping the Sun God and describes similar rituals.Historically it is native to eastern Uttar Pradesh, North Bihar of India and Mithila State of Nepal.The Chhath Puja is dedicated to the Sun and his wife Usha in order to thank them for bestowing the bounties of life on earth.The God is worshiped during the Chhath festival to promote well-being, prosperity and progress. In Hinduism, Sun worship is also believed to help cure a variety of diseases, including leprosy, and helps ensure the longevity and prosperity of family members, friends, and elders. Environmentalists claim that Chhath is the most eco-friendly Hindu festival.
Regions Celebrating Chhath
Although the festival is observed most elaborately in Mithila Province of Nepal,Terai-Madhesh region of Nepal, Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand and UP, it is also more prevalent in areas where migrants from those areas have a presence.The festival is celebrated in the regions including but not exclusive to the northeast region of India, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Chandigarh, Gujarat, as well in various countries worldwide.
Timings
Chhath puja is performed on Kartika Shukla Shashthi, which is the sixth day of the month of Kartika in Bengali calender. This falls typically in the month of October or November in the Gregorian English Calendar.
History
The rituals also find reference in the Sanskrit epic poem Mahābhārata in which Draupadi is depicted as observing similar rites. It is assumed that the oldest Purohits were requested by the kings to come and perform the traditional pooja of the Lord Sun. They used to chant the ancient Rigveda texts and a variety of hymns for worshiping the God. In the ancient time of Mahabharata Chhath pooja was celebrated by Draupadi and Pandavas of Hastinapur (present Delhi) for solving their instant problem and regaining their lost kingdom. It is also assumed that the Chhath puja was first started by the Surya Putra (son of Sun God) Karna. He was a great warrior and had ruled over the Anga Desh (Munger district of Bihar) during the Mahabharata period.
Ethymology
The word chhath means sixth in Nepali, Maithili and Bhojpuri languages and the festival is celebrated on the sixth day of the month Kārtika of the Hindu lunar Bikram Sambat calendar.The word is a Prakrit derivation from the Sanskrit ṣaṣṭhi, meaning sixth.
The Goddess who is also worshipped during the famous Chhath Puja is known as Chhathi Maiya. Chhathi Maiya is known as Usha in the Vedas. She is believed to be the beloved younger wife of Surya, the sun god. The rituals signify rising sun as well as setting sun.
Rituals and Traditions of Chhath Puja
It is believed that worshipers of the Chhath take holy bath and follows a period of abstinence and become separate for 4 days from the main family. Throughout the period he is believed as the pure spirit and sleep on the floor having single blanket.
Devotees offer prasad to Sun at the Chhath such as sweets, Kheer, Thekua, bananas and other fruits included in a small bamboo tokari. The prasad is cooked without salt, onions or garlic with maintained purity. It is a four days festival which includes:
On the first day, devotees take bathe early in the morning in the holy water of Gange and bring some holy water to their home to prepare the offerings. The home and its surroundings should be cleaned at this day. They take only one meal a day known as kaddu-bhat cooked only by using the bronze or soil utensils and mango woods over the soil stove.
On the second day, the day before Chhath, devotees keeps fast for whole day and break their fast in the evening after sunset after the worship of Sun. They offer Rasiao-kheer, puris, fruits in the puja. After taking meal in the evening, they go on a fast without water for the next 36 hours.
On the third day (day of Chhath) they offer the Sanjhiya Arghya at the ghat of riverbank. After Arghya, they wear the single saree of turmeric color. Other family members are waiting for getting the blessings from worshiper. At the night of Chhath a vibrant event of Kosi is celebrated by lighting the lamps of clay diyas under the covering of five sugarcane sticks. The five sugarcane sticks indicate the Panchatattva (earth, water, fire, air and space) the human is body made up of.
On the early morning of the fourth day (Paarun), devotees along with their family and friends offer Bihaniya Aragh at the ghat of riverbank of Gange. Devotees end their festival through breaking the fast by having the Chhath prashad.
Six levels of purification in Chhath ( a belief)
The belief of fast and cleanliness of body on the festival identify the detoxification of the body and mind in order to set up the body and mind to accept the cosmic solar energy.
Standing in water with half of the body inside the water diminishes the escape of energy as well as facilitates the prana to elevate to the sushumna.
Then the entrance of cosmic solar energy takes place in the pineal gland, pituitary gland and hypothalamus (known as the Triveni complex) through the retina and optic nerves.
In the 4th stage Triveni complex gets activated.
After activation of the Triveni complex, spine gets polarized and body of devotee gets transformed into a cosmic powerhouse and gets the Kundalini Shakti.
At this stage the devotee is fully able to conduct, recycle and pass on the energy into entire universe.
Benefits of the rituals (a belief)
Devotee of the Chhath puja can improve the immunity of body.
A variety of skin infections can be cured through the safe radiations of sunlight.
It increases the fighting power of blood by improving the performance of WBC.
Solar energy provides the power to control the secretion of hormones.
Significance
Chhath puja has a special significance during the Sunrise and Sunset periods. The Sunrise and sunset are the most important periods of the day during which a human body can safely get the solar energy without any harm. That’s why there is a myth of offering the Sanjhiya Arghya and Bihaniya Arghya to the Sun at the Chhath festival. During this period the solar energy has low level of ultraviolet radiations so it is safe for the human body. People perform the Chhath puja in order to thank the Lord Sun for the lives on the earth as well as to get blessings.
The ritual of Chhath puja provides mental calmness (by detoxifying the body and mind), enhances the energy level and immunity, reduces the frequency of anger, greed and jealousy as well as lot of negative emotions. It is also believed that following the Chhath processes helps in slowing down the ageing process. Such beliefs and rituals of the Chhath make it the most significant festival in the Hindus ever.

François Mitterrand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mitterrand" redirects here. For other uses, see Mitterrand (disambiguation).
François Maurice Adrien Marie Mitterrand (French: [fʁɑ̃swa mɔʁis mitɛˈʁɑ̃] ( listen)) (26 October 1916 – 8 January 1996) was the 21st President of France and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra, serving from 1981 until 1995. He is the longest-serving President of France and, as leader of the Socialist Party, the first figure from the left elected President under the Fifth Republic.
Reflecting family influences, Mitterrand started political life on the Catholic nationalist right. He served under the Vichy Regime in its earlier years. Subsequently, however, he joined the Resistance, moved to the left, and held ministerial office repeatedly under the Fourth Republic. He opposed de Gaulle's establishment of the Fifth Republic. Although at times a politically isolated figure, Mitterrand outmanoeuvred rivals to become the left's standard bearer in every presidential election from 1965 to 1988, except 1969. Elected President in the May 1981 presidential election, he was re-elected in 1988 and held office until 1995.
Mitterrand invited the Communist Party into his first government, a controversial move at the time. In the event, the Communists were boxed in as junior partners and, rather than taking advantage, saw their support erode. They left the cabinet in 1984. Early in his first term, Mitterrand followed a radical economic program, including nationalization of key firms, but after two years, with the economy in crisis, he reversed course. His foreign and defense policies built on those of his Gaullist predecessors. His partnership with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl advanced European integration via the Maastricht Treaty, but he accepted German reunification only reluctantly. During his time in office he was a strong promoter of culture and implemented a range of costly "Grands Projets". He was twice forced by the loss of a parliamentary majority into "cohabitation governments" with conservative cabinets led, respectively, by Jacques Chirac (1986–88), and Édouard Balladur (1993–95). Less than eight months after leaving office, Mitterrand died from the prostate cancer he had successfully concealed for most of his presidency.
Beyond making the French left electable, Mitterrand presided over the rise of the Socialist Party to dominance of the left, and the decline of the once-mighty Communist Party (as a share of the popular vote in the first presidential round, the Communists shrank from a peak of 21.27% in 1969 to 8.66% in 1995, at the end of Mitterrand's second term, and to 1.93% in the 2007 election).

Le Coup d'État permanent est un essai de l'homme politique français François Mitterrand, publié par l'éditeur Plon en 1964 pendant la présidence de Charles de Gaulle.
Dans ce livre, Mitterrand dénonce la pratique du pouvoir personnel par le général de Gaulle. Il ne se contente pas de critiquer la lettre de la Constitution : il reproche plutôt au général de Gaulle d'avoir trahi la promesse de 1958, selon laquelle le président est un arbitre. Selon Mitterrand, le chef de l'État est devenu tout-puissant : il montre la faiblesse du gouvernement et du Parlement, marginalisés par le président de la République. Dès 1949, Mitterrand s'inquiète de la création du RPF, qu'il juge trop au service exclusif de la personne de De Gaulle. Aussi, lors des débats au terme desquels l'Assemblée nationale lui confie la rédaction d'une nouvelle Constitution, Mitterrand exprime son opposition, puis il appelle à voter non lors du référendum du 28 septembre 19581. Si en 1958, il connaît sa seule défaite aux élections législatives, son opposition au référendum de 1962 paie enfin, puisqu'il retrouve son siège de député de la Nièvre1.
François Mitterrand insiste aussi sur les abus en matière de justice et de police, le gaullisme devenant « de Gaulle plus la police »2,1. Il dénonce par exemple l'utilisation de provocateurs, la multiplication des bavures et brutalités policières, les officines en tous genres (comme le SAC et les réseaux Foccart), les tribunaux d'exception (Haut Tribunal militaire, remplacé par une Cour militaire de justice puis par la Cour de sûreté de l'État, cette dernière ayant été supprimée dès l'été 1981 par la gauche), le mépris du Conseil constitutionnel et du Conseil d'État, ou encore le recours abusif au délit d'offense au chef de l'État.
Les préfaciers de la réédition de 2010 rappellent que Mitterrand a déjà voté contre la Constitution de la Quatrième République, critiquant ce « régime anachronique ». Si le livre est souvent présenté comme une dénonciation de l'élection présidentielle au suffrage universel, il ne contient pas de tel jugement, Mitterrand jugeant le principe « acceptable en soi3 ». En revanche, il dénonce les conditions de ce choix qui procède non d'une délibération parlementaire, mais d'un texte élaboré par l'exécutif, ce qui est anticonstitutionnel dénonce le président du Sénat Gaston Monnerville, qui accuse le Premier ministre de forfaiture en violant le texte de la Constitution en vigueur1.
Le livre connaît un grand écho qui permet à François Mitterrand d'incarner la meilleure opposition à de Gaulle. Alors que Gaston Defferre et Pierre Mendès-France insistent sur la critique du programme gaullien, François Mitterrand fait le choix d'affronter l'essence même du régime gaulliste. Cela le fera choisir comme le candidat de gauche pour l'élection présidentielle de 1965, où son accession au second tour le rendra incontournable pour les échéances futures1.

The defunct Cameo Theatre on Broadway. It opened in October 1910 as Clune's Broadway Theatre, one of the first purpose-built 'picture playhouses' in the city, and the oldest surviving movie theatre on Broadway.
The 24-sheet billboard above it probably incorporates part of Clune's original electric rooftop sign, with a working digital clock that advertised 'THE TIME - THE PLACE - CLUNE'S BROADWAY'.
It was also the longest continually operating movie theatre in California, if not the USA. Clune's advertisements promising 'continuous performance' held true until December 1991.

Although the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia has been building a strong collection of Russian art over the past few years, it didn’t have a permanent place to display those works. But in late November 2020, the museum finished reinstalling its Martha Thompson Dinos Gallery to create a lasting space for Russian art. The display consists primarily of objects from the Parker Collection and the Belosselsky-Belozersky Collection, together spanning nearly three centuries of art. It includes portraits, silver, decorative arts, statuettes, icons, medals, coins and more.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPgLPMncvgk
In 2016, now-Parker Curator of Russian Art Dr. Asen Kirin organized an exhibition of works from the Parker Collection titled “Gifts and Prayers: The Romanovs and Their Subjects.” The exhibition focused on the exchange of gifts between the Russian rulers and their subjects as a means of maintaining power. The success of this exhibition attracted the attention of Russian Princess Marina Belosselsky-Belozersky Kasarda. As a result, the exhibition “One Heart, One Way: The Journey of a Princely Art Collection,” which focused on her family’s collection, a donation to the museum, was displayed in 2018 and announced the survival of portraits that had been thought lost as well as the existence of other highly significant works of art.
Despite the absence of a focus on Russian work in previous decades, such projects earned the Georgia Museum of Art a place among the nation’s major centers for Russian art. Each of the collections tells its own story, but Kirin says they unite here to “illustrate how a past society accomplished a certain level of cohesion regardless of dramatic class distinctions.”
Among the most notable objects on display are small items such as military medals and orders. Although miniature in size, they tell audiences a great deal about the shared values of the common people and the aristocracy in Imperial Russia. “The display is by no means an invitation to embrace royalism, but rather an opportunity to examine cultural values. The desire to excel and contribute to the society in which you belong is ultimately a way of overcoming the limitations of mortal existence, as these objects were meant to survive their owners,” said Kirin.
The size and significance of these small objects called for casing that accurately captured their relevance, not a simple task for preparators. They require a case that allows for the secure display of multiple small objects as well as proper lighting, but such a case was not in the museum’s possession. As a solution, the staff thought it best to place a custom vitrine order suited to their needs. Thanks to a generous grant from the Fraser-Parker Foundation of Atlanta, visitors can now find the custom case in the exhibit. To see the small objects, visitors can open three six-foot-wide drawers with motioned activated lighting as well automatic closure upon release.
_______________________________________________
The Georgia Museum of Art, on the campus of the University of Georgia, in Athens, is both an academic museum and, since 1982, the official art museum of the state of Georgia. The permanent collection consists of American paintings, primarily 19th- and 20th-century; American, European and Asian works on paper; the Samuel H. Kress Study Collection of Italian Renaissance paintings; and growing collections of southern decorative arts and Asian art.
From the time it was opened to the public in 1948 in the basement of the old library on the university’s historic North Campus, the museum has grown consistently both in the size of its collection and in the size of its facilities. Today the museum occupies a contemporary building in the Performing and Visual Arts Complex on the university’s burgeoning east campus. There, 79,000 square feet house nearly 17,000 objects in the museum’s permanent collection—a dramatic leap from the core of 100 paintings donated by the museum’s founder, Alfred Heber Holbrook.
Much of the museum’s collection of American paintings was donated by Holbrook in memory of his first wife, Eva Underhill Holbrook. Included in this collection are works by such luminaries as Frank Weston Benson, William Merritt Chase, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe, Childe Hassam, Winslow Homer, Jacob Lawrence and Theodore Robinson.
In 2011, the museum opened an expanded contemporary building, with additions and renovations designed by Gluckman Mayner Architects, in the Performing and Visual Arts Complex on the university’s burgeoning East Campus. New galleries house the permanent collection, and visitors enjoy an outdoor sculpture garden and expanded lobby. In 2012, Brenda and Larry Thompson donated 100 works of art by African American artists to the collection, mirroring Holbrook’s original gift. They also established an endowment to fund the position of Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Curator of African American and African Diasporic Art. The Thompsons have continued to give to the museum (their gifts can be found in the collections database), and their gift has had a transformative effect, strongly privileging an expansion of the traditional art historical canon. They received the Patron of the Year award from the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries in 2019.
The museum continues to balance its dual designation as an academic museum with its role as the official state art museum of Georgia. Its schedule is a reflection of the academic study of the history of art and a broader array of popular exhibitions that appeal to all audiences. From the time Alfred Holbrook first loaded works from his art collection in the trunk of his car to share with Georgia’s schoolchildren until today, when the museum staff crisscrosses the state of Georgia to present a variety of educational programs, the Georgia Museum of Art has made the state a richer and more culturally viable place to live.
