The Victoria and Albert Museum (often abbreviated as the V&A) in London is the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design, housing a permanent collection of over 4.5 million objects. Founded in 1852 as the South Kensington Museum, the V&A has since grown to now cover some 12.5 acres[2] and 145 galleries. Its collection spans 5000 years of art, from ancient times to the present day, in virtually every medium, from the cultures of Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa.
The holdings of ceramics, glass, textiles, costumes, silver, ironwork, jewellery, furniture, medieval objects, sculpture, prints and printmaking, drawings and photographs are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world. The museum possesses the world's largest collection of post-classical sculpture, the holdings of Italian Renaissance items are the largest outside Italy. The departments of Asia include art from South Asia, Japan, China, Korea and the Islamic world. The East Asian collections are among the best in Europe, with particular strengths in ceramics and metalwork, while the Islamic collection, alongside the Musée du Louvre and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is amongst the largest in the world.
Alongside other neighbouring institutions, including the Natural History Museum and Science Museum, the V&A is located in what is termed London's "Albertopolis", an area of immense cultural, scientific and educational importance. Since 2001, the Museum has embarked on a major £150m renovation program[3] which has seen a major overhaul of the departments including the introduction of newer galleries, gardens, shops and visitor facilities. Following in similar vein to other national UK museums, entrance to the museum has been free since 2001.

Vegan Summer Potato Salad
▶ Adapted from:
Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home
Authors: Julia Child, Jacques Pepin
Hardcover: 448 pages
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf; 1st edition (September 14, 1999);
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0375404317
ISBN-13: 978-0375404313
***************
▶ RECIPE
● INGREDIENTS
☞ 2 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes
☞ 2 TBSP malt vinegar
☞ 1/3 cup vegetable stock or potato-cooking water
☞ 1 cup vegan mayonnaise (such as non-soy Just Mayo)
● EXTRAS
☞ 2/3 cup finely chopped onion
☞ 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
☞ 3 small radishes, roughly chopped
☞ 3 TBSP finely chopped dill pickle
☞ 3 TBSP chopped fresh scallions
☞ 1 TBSP capers
☞ 1 tsp ground white pepper
☞ 1 tsp ground mustard
☞ 1 tsp turmeric
☞ 1 dash Liquid Smoke
☞ 1 dash smoked paprika
☞ Kosher salt, to taste
● GARNISH
☞ Crisp whole red-leaf lettuce leaves
☞ Thinly sliced radishes
☞ Chopped scallion greens
● PROCEDURE
1) Peel the potatoes and slice each one lengthwise in half, or in quarters if very large; then cut crosswise into half-round or quarter-round slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
2) Put the slices in a saucepan with water just to cover and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt per quart of water. Bring water to a boil, and reduce to a simmer, uncovered. Cook the potatoes for 5 to 6 minutes, checking with a fork for cooked through, but still firm. Check frequently. DO NOT OVERCOOK.
3) Immediately remove from heat and drain into a colander, but save a cup of the cooking liquid for dressing the potatoes.
4) Add the malt vinegar to 1/3 cup of vegetable stock or the reserved potato water. Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Drizzle the vinegar/stock over the potato pieces, turning them gently to distribute evenly. Let sit 10 minutes to absorb the liquid.
5) Add potatoes to colander. Strain out any remaining liquid.
6) Return to mixing bowl. Add the onion, celery, pickle, scallions (reserving some for the garnish), capers, Liquid Smoke, and spices (minus the paprika and salt). Toss. Top with 2/3 cup of mayonnaise and, with a large rubber spatula, gently fold everything together until well blended. Taste the salad and add more salt, pepper, mayonnaise, or vinegar/stock as needed.
7) Cover the salad and set aside in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so before serving. If it is refrigerated longer, let it come back to room temperature before serving.
8) To serve, line a bowl or a platter with red-leaf lettuce, and mound the salad on top. Decorate at the last moment with radish slices, chopped scallion greens, and a couple of dashes of smoked paprika.

"Ravensbrück was a notorious women's concentration camp during World War II, located in northern Germany, 90 km north of Berlin at a site near the village of Ravensbrück (part of Fürstenberg/Havel).
Construction of the camp began in November 1938 by SS leader Heinrich Himmler and was unusual in that it was a camp primarily for women. The camp opened in May 1939. In the spring of 1941, the SS authorities established a small men's camp adjacent to the main camp.
The first prisoners at Ravensbrück were approximately 900 women. The SS had transferred these prisoners from the Lichtenburg women's concentration camp in Saxony in May 1939. By the end of 1942, the inmate population of Ravensbrück had grown to about 10,000. In January 1945, the camp had more than 45,000 women prisoners.
Between 1939 and 1945, over 130,000 female prisoners passed through the Ravensbrück camp system; only 40,000 survived. Although the inmates came from every country in German-occupied Europe, the largest single national group incarcerated in the camp consisted of Polish women." (Source: Wikipedia)
Espero y deseo que estas nubes negras que rodean la torre de este emblemático edificio del centro de Málaga, como las que descargan agua ahora sobre la ciudad sean las únicas que veamos hasta después de Semana Santa.. bueno hasta el Sábado puede llover todo lo que quiera y que durante la semana que viene no caiga ni una gota, aunque unas nubes blancas y suaves como algodón de azúcar no están mal para los fondo de las miles y miles de fotos que se harán en esa maravillosa semana...
Feliz Martes de Nubes!!!
Gracias a Todos...
I wait for and desire that these black clouds that surround the tower by this emblematic building of the center of Malaga, like that they now unload water over the city are the unique ones which we see until after Easter....good until Saturday everything can rain what wants and that during the week that comes a drop does not fall nor, although white and smooth clouds like sugar cotton are not bad for the thousand and thousand bottom of photos that will become in that wonderful week…
Happy Tuesday of Clouds!
Thanks to All…
November, 1941.
From www.camprobertshistoricalmuseum.com/Photos.php
Construction of the main garrison area began on November 15, 1940. The first commander, Lieutenant Colonel Marston, rented office space in the Bank of America building in Paso Robles. His command consisted of the office, plans and specifications for construction of the facilities, and a few tents. From those humble beginnings the operation grew to involve over 8,000 workers in the construction of a training site capable of housing 30,000 trainees at one time.
Construction took approximately nine months, and the area received the heaviest recorded rainfall before or since. During construction it was decided to change the original name, Camp Nacimiento, to Camp Roberts in honor of 22-year-old Corporal Harold W. Roberts, a World War I tank driver from San Francisco who died in France in the Argonne Offensive, and was awarded the Medal of Honor. Today, Camp Roberts is the only major Army military installation named for a non-commissioned officer.
Camp Roberts officially began its mission as one of the world’s largest training sites in March 1941. It featured the world’s largest parade field (the length of 14 football fields) and hosted an Infantry Replacement Training Center and a Field Artillery Replacement Training Center. 436,000 troops passed through an intensive 17-week training cycle. A peak population of 45,000 troops was reached in 1944, with thousands of these soldiers quartered in huge tent cities. Besides the two Training Centers, there was a 750-bed hospital and intern facilities for German and Italian prisoners of war. Many of the Italian POWs swore allegiance to America after Italy surrendered, and spent the remainder of the war as service unit workers at Camp Roberts.
Many famous people received their military training here during WWII, including Caspar Weinberger, Robert Mitchum, Steve Allen, Steve “Hercules” Reeves, and comedy legend Red Skelton, who headlined Camp Roberts’ entertainment troupe. Many other celebrities, like Laurel and Hardy, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny and Marlene Dietrich have come to Camp Roberts to entertain countless troops at the Soldier Bowl.
On July 1, 1946, with the out-processing of WWII soldiers complete, Camp Roberts was inactivated as a training site, reverting to ‘caretaker’ status, with a skeleton crew to maintain it. Reserve units conducted their 15-day summer training cycles, and it remained so until the outbreak of the Korean War.
In June 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea, and the United Nations quickly responded. The following month, Camp Roberts was re-activated for Regular Army troop training, and soon added an Armor Replacement Training Center. The terrain resembled that found in Korea, and the famed 7th Armored Division was in charge of training. By the end of fighting in September 1953, approximately 300,000 troops had completed their training here. After returnee out-processing in early 1954, camp Roberts reverted once again to caretaker status, continuing to train National Guard and Army Reserve units’ summer training periods.
During the Vietnam era, Camp Roberts once again bustled with activity, though not on as grand a scale as in WWII or the Korean War. The installation was not ‘officially’ open, and thus earned the title “most active inactive post in the U.S.” Many troops were brought down from Fort Ord after in processing for their basic training and returned there for graduation and assignment. In the 1960s, the Army’s first satellite network was constructed here, and the Army’s Combat Development Experimental Command (CDEC) did much vehicle and weapons testing. The Navy also trained crews for river patrol boats here. Vietnam was the last era Army Basic Training was given here.
The US Army officially closed Camp Roberts in April 1970, and on April 2, 1971, the California Army National Guard received control of the Camp under license from the Army to establish a Reserve Component training and mobilization facility. Camp Roberts continues to operate in this fashion today. Military units from all service branches (and some foreign countries) continue to train here, and it also hosts a large wheel and track maintenance school for reserve soldiers. In recent years, many National Guard units have been processed through Camp Roberts to meet the Nation’s needs in the War on Terrorism by being deployed throughout the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
The history of Camp Roberts is effectively related in the Camp Roberts Historical Museum, which is housed in the original WWII Red Cross Headquarters (Main Museum) and the original WWII Camp Roberts Post Office (Museum Annex).

The Monkey Puzzle, Rathinda amor (Fabricius) was found at our Kerala home's backyard. This is a small lycaenid or blue butterfly found mainly in south Asia.
Sexes alike. Wingspan - 26 to 28 mm. Upperside - The butterfly is dark brown. It has a white-spot end cell. Has narrow white spots on a short band on the forewing. On the UPH it has two black tornal spots and narrow dark reddish spot above them. Underside - is white to dark yellowish brown. Forewing has irregular dark basal markings with a curved white discal line. The apical two-fifths are a rich dark brown colour. The hindwing has a silvery margin with many irregular black lines and spots within. Has three tails, of 2 mm, 6 mm and 2.5 mm in length respectively.
Is found in jungle areas of moderate to heavy rainfall - both, in heavy forest and scrub. Butterfly occurs below 900 meters or so. Keeps to undergrowth and can be seen along forest paths and in clearings.
Has a weak flight, it stays low and does not fly for long without alighting. Its method of alighting is interesting - as soon as it lands, it turns around and waggles its tail filaments, it also sidesteps for a while - all this is apparently to confuse a predator as to which side is the head. This is a likely reason that the first naturalists may have named the species the Monkey Puzzle.

Se asoman a su balcón desde su funda transparente que es una vaina que además de dar protección al cuerpo de estos ciliados también les da el nombre. Se trata de Vaginicola, ciliado alargado en forma de trompeta , que en su cabeza se abre en corona como una flor.
Los cilios de Vaginicola ruedan en la corona fabricando pequeños remolinos en los que quedan atrapadas pequeñas partículas y algunos organismos diminutos que después este ciliado selecciona para él o para devolverles la libertad en el agua.
A Vaginicola parece que no le gusta vivir solo, por eso, casi siempre se asoma a su balcón en compañía, quizá estos compañeros hablen del tiempo, de la vida, o de los lunares que adornan su interior. Estos pequeños lunares son también amigos y hacen con Vaginicola una simbiosis ejemplar y que con frecuencia se da también con otros protozoos, son así, cientos más dos.
Vaginicola cuida con mimo su colección de lunares verdes que son algas del género Chlorella y estas pequeñas algas verdes en muestra de agradecimiento, corresponden con Vaginicola regalándole las golosinas de los azúcares y proteínas que ellas fabrican, pero estas golosinas no son un capricho, se han vuelto ya imprescindibles y sellan esta relación de amistad.
Vaginicola recuerda mucho a Cothurnia y a Thuricola por su apariencia, pero Vaginicola vive dentro de una funda que se muestra como un vaso, abierto y sin protección, mientras que sus otros compañeros, más precavidos o más frioleros, cierran la entrada de la vaina que los protege con una puerta que se siempre hacia afuera, de este modo ellos pueden salir, pero nadie puede entrar.
Dos amigos, probablemente hermanos, se asoman al balcón y muestran alegres su cuerpo de lunares verdes. No son dos amigos en realidad, son cientos más dos en un incondicional vínculo de amistad y proceden de la balsa de Ajamil en La Rioja de donde procede la muestra que ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia .

☁ la nube negra de una justicia pervertida en nuestro país, movida por la envidia y la venganza, permanecerá aquí, hasta que soplen los vientos limpios que todos necesitamos. La Justicia es uno de los cimientos necesarios para la Paz. Desde aquí todo nuestro apoyo al Juez Baltasar Garzón -el buen Juez de Saramago- y a las personas de buena voluntad como él que trabajan por la Justicia.
UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO) was proud to participate in the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) Meeting held 2-3 October in Suva, Fiji, which brought together the humanitarian community – including government, UN agencies, civil society organisations, social movements and international and national non-government organisations (INGOs and NGOs) – to share best practices and strengthen localisation of preparedness and response activities.
UN Women Fiji MCO Representative Aleta Miller spoke at the meeting’s opening session. UN Women also facilitated a joint session with Diverse Voices for Action and Equality (DIVA for Equality) to promote the visibility of gender and protection actors in humanitarian response – those who may not always be part of formal humanitarian structures but do vital work in their communities. Experiences were shared by national civil society members from across the Pacific region including FemLINKPacific/Transcend Oceania, Pacific Rainbows Advocacy Network (PRAN), Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), Women United Together Marshall Islands (WUTMI) and DIVA for Equality.

After Cave Point and a couple of other minor detours we intended to head for breakfast, but then we noticed that Baileys Harbour had 3 lighthouses... gotta check those out, but not before we'd eaten breakfast!
One of them we couldn't get to very easily as it is on an island, the second we found, but were unimpressed. Having found the second we were turning the car around we spotted the third; which you see here. Yes believe it or not this is/was a lighthouse. It is the Baileys Harbor Upper Range Light, it actually has an uglier brother, the lower range light (which I didn't photograph) which sits about 900ft in front of it and is 15ft shorter! The idea being that at night, the sailors could line up the lights, and in the day time, they could line up the buildings. Both lighthouses are now retired and have been replaced by a truly ugly range light that resembles a flashlight on a stick!

View On Black , it's much better !!!
Et bien... il a plu.
Il a même plu énormément...
Des pluies diluviennes, qui nous ont quand même valu quelques frayeurs, entre autres, celle de passer en voiture sur des routes transformées en véritables lacs, avec de l'eau jusqu'aux rétros, celle de rester embourbés, ensablés, et que sais-je encore, celle de rester coincés dans entre 2 oueds déchainés, et ne plus pouvoir ni avancer ni reculer, celle de se réfugier en plein nuit dans un abri de fortune, abandonnant sa voiture aux flots (j'exagère à peine, lol) , celle de rater son vol retour parce que bien sûr, personne ne pouvait plus circuler..... mais quel bonheur, finalement, de rencontrer des gens formidables dans des situations telles que celles ci, qui t'aident sans te connaître et sans rien demander en échange... de vraies rencontres, un vrai bonheur ...
But it rained...
It rained a lot... Diluvian scary rains..
Roads transformed into real lakes, with some water up to rearview mirrors in the car, water, water, everywhere, falling for almost 48 hours, non stop... and us, stucked at night in the car, with no possibility to move on nor to move back, then to put ourselves in a shelter for the night leaving the car to mother Nature, lol... and me, missing my flight back to Paris because no one could drive away from the city we were in... But, what a huge pleasure, to meet nice and adorable people, who helped us, showed us somewhere we could sleep to be safe, shared their food with us, without knowing us at all,... People in Marocco are so kind...
This is by far my worst work... thanks to my shaky hands... but the best view thus far from Langkawi.
I was seated in my hall trying to fix my SD Card coz the lock slider came off. I looked out my balcony and saw some very nice crimson hues... my balcony faces South so I knew I was at the wrong place... I shouldn't be at home but at the seaside... I should have stayed on at the other end of the island as I was there this afternoon... but this afternoon it was threatening to rain again so I came home.
Anyway, I went to my balcony to see if I could get a clear shot. No luck.
I went downstairs to the first floor, at the poolside and managed a couple of shots. But I was not happy as it looked so beautiful. I thought for a while.
Then I went up to the10th floor. Still no shot.
Very unhappy now... I went to the rooftop. There was a window... but taking a shot from here I would get the penthouse's roof in the frame. Grrrr...
Aha... then I saw the water tank. Should I? I am acrophobic. Being on the roof in itself took a lot of courage. I gathered all my courage and started climbing the metal steps/ladder. Camera around my neck... clinging onto the railings for dear life. When I got to the top... I went.... WOW!!! Legs shaking, hands trembling... I started snapping. Left hand clinging on to dear life... right hand trembling away and snapping away. You can see my hands were shaking away if you saw the picture large. No matter how I changed the ISO or shutter speed it didn't help. Maybe next time I will take my 50mm up instead... yes, there will be a next time. I'll find a way.
So... here you go... my shaky hands, 5 shot panorama.

I've been tagged by Daifuku Sensei so apparently I must tell you 16 random facts about myself.
1. Help! by The Beatles was No.1 on the day I was born.
2. On 7th February I will have been married for 16 years. That seems so much longer written down than actually living it.
3. I can wiggle my ears.
4. My favourite accident involved me riding a friends Harley Davidson motorbike through a hedge and over a hidden 15 foot drop. I wasn't wearing a helmet but managed to walk away with just a few cuts and bruises. The bike wasn't so lucky.
5. I was 8 years old before I slept in a house for the first time.
6. I stopped smoking a year ago yesterday. I am not a smoking fascist like many ex-smokers. I still think it looks cool and sexy.
7. I play the guitar, very badly.
8. I love chocolate biscuits.
9. My 2nd favourite accident involved me wrecking my brand new car, with less than 100 miles on the clock. This marvellous feat made a appearance in all the national newspapers.
10. Apart from a short spell working in the family business after leaving school, I've been self employed all my working life. The idea of having a boss sends a shiver down my spine.
11. I got myself and my, then new, wife arrested at a football match. I had unknowingly bought stolen tickets from a tout and we were escorted to the police cells inside the stadium. After going through the formalities I managed to persuade the policeman to let us watch the rest of the match from the standing area.
12. On the football theme, I once gave a lift in my car to Sir Bobby Charlton and his wife, Norma. He maybe one of the greatest footballers to play for Manchester United and England and a hero to millions of supporters but he is a bit of a dull conversationalist. Norma is nice though.
13. My Uncle John fought in WW2 and was among the liberators of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. When he told me of the horrors he witnessed he made me promise that I would pass on his story to future generations. I have and will contiue to do so. His main conclusion wasn't that evil men do wicked things, we all know that, but how ordinary, civilized people can allow evil acts to happen in their midst by not caring enough about the lives and fate of their fellow human beings.
14. I played cricket for many years until a rib injury forced me to stop.
15. I once fought with 4 men in a drunken street brawl in Denbigh, North Wales. The lesson I learned was that Denbigh in the 1980's wasn't quite ready for a man wearing make up in public. I think it was my smudged lipstick that really annoyed them.
16. I love skiing. My first skiing holiday was 6 years ago. I had 2 lessons on a plastic ski slope at home, went to the top of a mountain in Switzerland and fell all the way to the bottom. At the end of the week I was bruised and battered but could ski reasonably well. My advice if you want to learn to ski is to have 3 lessons.

Enjaulada en su fino palacio de cristal, la ameba sol Penardiophrys asoma sus más de veinte brazos de hilo desde sus ventanas de encaje, para palpar el agua y recoger de ella, con delicadeza, su cosecha de alimentos.
Nadie ha castigado a Penardiophrys a vivir en una jaula tan abierta, que es como un traje de encajes amplios, ventanales circulares que se asoman a la vida desde las profundidades, a fin de cuentas un vestido de princesa tejido con proteínas, quizá no tan hermoso como el de su maravillosa prima Clathrulina, pero sí exclusivo único y especial como ella.
El delicado cuerpo de Penardiophrys posiblemente se dispersaría como la bruma al primer golpe de corriente si su casa jaula no le diese esa protección, y por ello, sus amplias ventanas sostienen sus finos brazos y un largo cabo, sujeta su esfera de palacio anclándolo a los fondos para que no se pierda en el infinito.
Toda esta arquitectura esférica de óvalos soldados que es jaula, es al mismo tiempo vestido holgado y precioso en el que el delicado cuerpo estrellado de Penardiophrys reticulata se refugia. Podrá salir de él en cualquier momento y lo hará para reproducirse, dividiendo su cuerpo blando como lo hacen otras amebas o fabricando en un misterioso proceso células flageladas que en un proceso de mágica metamorfosis formaran de nuevo estas esferas huecas y vivas.
Penardiophrys reticulata vive anclada a los fondos como un globo sujeto por un hilo a la mano de un niño, entre grumos de sedimento, que mullidos la protegen.
Cada una de las ventanas del caparazón de Penardiophrys está enmarcada por unos nervios finos y apenas visibles que forman una estructura de red con facetas similares; todas ellas presentan un fino orificio central a través del que asoman los finísimos pseudópodos (axiopodios) que pueden alcanzar hasta 3 veces el diámetro del caparazón. subcentrally. El núcleo en esta especie está situado casi en posición central y se ve con dificultad.
La especie que mostramos hoy fue descubierta y descrita por Penard en 1904 bajo el nombre de Hedriocystis reticulata . Pero tras la revisión realizada por Mikrjukov en el año 2000, esta especie pasó a formar parte del nuevo género Penardiophrys denominado así en honor a Penard, bajo el nombre de Penardiophrys reticulata .
Esta interesantísima y rara ameba se ha encontrado en escasas ocasiones, sobre vegetación de esfagnos y en el fondo de zonas pantanosas y ésta, desde el Lago de Sanabria es la primera referencia que se hace de ella en territorio Ibérico.
La fotografía de hoy, realizada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia, se ha tomado sobre una muestra recolectada a cinco metros de profundidad, el 30 de agosto de 2015, por Laura, Mª José y Tomás en las inmediaciones de la Isla de Moras en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.

I captured this image in the Flamingo Marina area of Everglades National Park. The overwhelming number of pelicans found around the Flamingo Marina is American Whites, so this pelican caught my attention. According to Wikipedia, the Brown Pelican is the smallest of the eight species of pelican, although it is a large bird in nearly every other regard. It is 42–54 inches (106–137 cm) in length, weighs from 6.1 to 12 lbs (2.75 to 5.5 kg) and has a wingspan from 6.0 to 8.2 feet (1.83 to 2.5 m). Through most of its range, the brown pelican is an unmistakable bird. Like all pelicans, this species has a very large bill, 11 to 13.7 in (28 to 34.8 cm) long in this case, with a gular pouch on the bottom for draining water when it scoops out prey. The head is white but often gets a yellowish wash in adult birds. The bill is grayish overall in most birds, though breeding birds become reddish on the underside of the throat. The back, rump, and tail are streaked with gray and dark brown, sometimes with a rusty hue. In adult pelicans, the breast and belly are a blackish-brown and the legs and feet are black. The juvenile is similar but has a brownish-gray neck and white underparts.

The name 'Clingendael' means 'valley in the dunes'. The original part of the Clingendael building was built between 1643 and 1660 for Philip Doublet, whose family had moved to The Hague from the south of the Netherlands. Several of the Doublets held the office of Treasurer General in the Republic of the Seven United Provinces.
Philip's wife was the sister of the celebrated poet and statesman, Constantijn Huygens, and Philip’s son married one of Huygens’ daughters, Suzanna. The architecture of the original part of Clingendael shares some of the features of the Huygens’s country house in Voorburg, Hofwijck.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Clingendael belonged to the Van Brienens, a prominent family of merchants and bankers. During the period of French rule in the Netherlands, Willem Joseph van Brienen was appointed Mayor of Amsterdam and elevated by Napoleon to 'Baron de l’Empire'.
The last of the Van Brienens in the male line, Arnout, built a racecourse for his guests at Clingendael; it has since been moved to nearby Duindigt. Arnout’s unmarried daughter Marguérite, known as Lady Daisy, laid out Clingendael’s fine Japanese garden.
During the Second World War, the house was occupied by the Nazi Reich’s Commissioner for the Occupied Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and his family.
In 1954, Clingendael became the property of the municipality of The Hague, which it remains today. Since 1983, the Clingendael Institute (the Netherlands Institute of International Relations) has been located in Huys Clingendael.

Spillage of uranium-bearing effluents into the environment at the SOCATRI nuclear facility (Drôme, France)
During the night of 7 to 8 July, for a so far unknown reason, a tank of the Uranium-bearing Effluent Treatment Station (STEU) of the SOCATRI* company flowed over its retention tank. This retention tank being undergoing works was not tight at that time. These effluents, on one hand, percolated in the soil within the SOCATRI facility boundary and on the other hand, flowed to the “Gaffière” river and then to the “Lauzon” river through rain collectors.
SOCATRI initially evaluated the release to about 30 m3 of uranium-bearing solution with a concentration of about 12 grams of natural uranium per litre. A new evaluation performed by the utility lead to lower estimates.
For the sake of precaution, ASN advised the Prefects of the Drôme and Vaucluse départements to take, not awaiting the results of expertises, restriction measures of nautical and fishing practices and use of water for irrigation and drinking purposes.
SOCATRI performed today, July 9th, a removal of the contaminated soil on its site so as to prevent the underground migration of uranium. ASN requested IRSN to confirm the efficacy of such a countermeasure.
The measurements performed by SOCATRI in the water table, in private wells as well as in the neighbouring ponds of the « Trop Long », the «Baltraces » and the « Girardes » do not exhibit an abnormal increase of the uranium concentration from the natural level. Monitoring by SOCATRI of surface waters of the « Gaffière and Lauzon » show a fast decrease of the uranium concentration. The last measured values in these rivers outside the SOCATRI site boundary are of the order of guide value of the World Heath Organisation (WHO) for drinkable waters.
ASN requested the utility to perform measurements in the riverbeds of the Gaffière and the Lauzon so as to detect a possible uranium deposition.
ASN requested IRSN to proceed to independent measurements from those performed by the utility and to determine the best additional means of surveillance of the radioactivity of the water table.
The precautionary measures will be discontinued depending on the results of the ongoing expertises.
ASN will perform an inspection on July 10th, on the SOCATRI site in order to assess, in particular, the precise causes of the event and examine the provisions taken by the licensee.
ASN has provisionally classified this incident at level 1 on the INES scale.
* The SOCATRI facility is involved in support of the nuclear installations of the TRICASTIN site performing in particular maintenance of equipments contaminated by uranium and treatment of uranium-bearing effluents.

Quote from Wikipedia "Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by Antony Gormley.
Now permanently erected on Crosby Beach, England, it was due to be moved to New York in November 2006, but there was a controversial proposal to retain the work at Crosby. It was stated in the local paper, the Crosby Herald, that they may stay for a decade, but at a meeting on 7 March 2007, Sefton Council accepted proposals that would allow the sculptures to be kept permanently at Crosby Beach"

Looking up at the 205-foot Gothic and art deco Carillon Tower is an experience like no other. Designed by famed architect Milton B. Medary and ornately crafted by noted stone sculptor Lee Lawrie, the Tower houses one of the world’s finest carillons. Concerts from the 60-bell carillon fill the Sanctuary daily. Because the primary purpose of the Tower is to house the carillon, it is not open to the public. On the first floor is the Founder's Room, created as a private study for Edward Bok. Level two and level three contains mechanical equipment. The curator's workshop is on level four. The Anton Brees Carillon Library, located on level five, is the largest carillon library in the world. Between level five and six is a practice keyboard. The carillonneur's studio is on level six. The Carillon fills the upper third of the Tower on level seven.
Directly below the bells, inside the bell chamber is a playing room, housing the clavier or keyboard. There are 211 stairs going from the Founder's Room to the bell chamber, and an elevator to level 6. Bok, Medary and Lawrie made it a goal to create perfect unity and symbolism in the design of the Tower. The scheme for the sculptures and grille work is mostly birds and plants with a few other forms of wildlife depicted. Besides various flowers and trees, you can find cranes, herons, eagles, seahorses, jellyfish, fin fish, pelicans, flamingos, geese, swans, fox, storks, tortoise, hare, baboons, Adam and Eve, and the serpent. The colorful tiles found only in the top third of the Tower depict the perfect balance in nature, species and gender and were designed by H. Dulles Allen.

The small sparrows strained themselves by the grate, they pecked the food of the parrots, and fled quickly.

ENGLISH
The White-fronted Amazon, Amazona albifrons also known as White-fronted Parrot, or adopted slang term Spectacled Amazon Parrot is a Central American species of parrot. Not to be confused with the Red-spectacled Amazon Parrot.
The White-fronted Amazon is relatively small when compared to other Amazons. At maturity this species will grow to a typical length of only nine to ten inches. This species is named for the bright white patch of feathers which is seen on their foreheads, although the amount of white varies from individual to individual. They have green plumage throughout, red coloring around their eyes (in some individuals almost like a mask) and blue coloring on their outspread wings and behind the patch of white on their foreheads. Unlike other amazon species, males and females can be distinguished by appearance (sexual dimorphism): males have bright red feathers on their shoulders (alula), while females have green shoulders. The species is divided into three subspecies, differentiated by slight colour differences: the White-fronted Amazon (A. a. albifrons), the Lesser White-fronted Amazon (A. a. nana) and the Sonora White-fronted Amazon (A. a. saltuensis). Like other large parrots, the White-fronted Parrot has a long life span, usually around 40 years when properly cared for. They also can imitate a range from 30 to 40 different sounds.

CASTELLANO
El loro frente blanca, frentiblanco, amazona frente blanca o cotorra (Amazona albifrons) es una especie de loro endémico de América Central.
A pesar de que el loro frente blanca tiene un tamaño promedio cuando se le compara al resto de los loros, es relativamente más pequeño cuando se le compara a otros pertenecientes al género Amazona. Esta especie se desarrolla hasta alcanzar, en la madurez, una talla típica de solo 22 a 25 cm. Recibe su nombre por la mancha blanca brillante que se le observa en la frente, a pesar de que la cantidad de blanco varía de un individuo a otro. Tienen plumaje verde en todo el cuerpo, con un anillo rojo alrededor de los ojos (en algunos individuos forma casi una “máscara”) y plumas azules visibles al desplegar las alas y detrás de la mancha blanca de la frente.
A diferencia de otras especies de amazonas, existe dimorfismo sexual (machos y hembras pueden ser diferenciados a simple vista): Los machos presentan plumas color rojo brillante en la alula, mientras que las hembras no la poseen o se distingue muy poco. Esta especie se divide en tres subespecies diferenciadas por cambios menores de color: el loro frente blanca (A. a. albifrons), El loro frente blanca menor (A. a. nana) y el loro frente blanca de Sonora (A. a. saltuensis). Como la mayoría de los loros mayores, el loro frente blanca tiene un período de vida bastante largo, comúnmente alrededor de 50 años o mas.

"...on the floor of his room."
Besides attending a class today and writing reports, I spent the afternoon at a friend's house. We talked a lot and she put on some Eddie Izzard. It was fun. :)
I've been tagged. By Trixiepix. And just when I thought I'd wrap up the day and lay my thoughts to sleep... :)
Here we go:
#01 I (used to) change interests on a daily basis, so keeping up with 365 is sometimes a real pain the butt, but I'm determined to stick to, to prove myself I can go through with something - not just drop the idea before I've REALLY given it a go.
#02 I'm a pervert, I'm a poet, I'm a romantic soul.
I really like weird (and I do mean weird, Necrophilia variations is right up my alley) books and movies and music.
#03 When going out for a drink, I usually drink coffee, or during the winter, black tea, vanilla flavoured.
#04 I adore chocolate. The kind with 50 or more percent of cocoa. The bitterness tastes so sweet to me. :) Also, I like chocolate with chili peppers.
#05 Like Trixiepics, I get a kick out of organizing things. On my computer. Into folders and zip files and partitions and so on and so forth...
#06 I like to look at people. Not in a voyeur kind of way, I just like to look at people when I walk past them, to see their faces, to see what they're wearing, how fast they are walking. It interests me. :)
#07 I (used to) usually give up, if the results were not perfect the first time. I had to learn to deal with mistakes.
#08 REMOVED
#09 The first time I did a snow angel was a couple of days ago.
#10 I adore the feeling of fresh, clean hands. I just love it. It feels wonderful. :)
#11 My memory is like swiss cheese, but without the cheese. This is one of the reasons I began 365. To have something to remember ALL of the days by.
#12 I'd like to improve my photos, but lately I don't take enough time to produce results I'd be really proud of. Shame on me.
#13 Lately most of what I wear is black. Last year I was sort of getting into really coloured stuff, but this year I mostly go for black. (Except this one outfit I wear at home - yellow sweatshirt and red pants.)
#14 I thought for sure I wouldn't get tagged. :)
#15 I really like the 80's Yugoslavian punk/new wave scene. There's something about that era that I find so alluring I can't even say. The music, the rebel attitude. (Those days, there actually was something to rebel about. Nowadays, you can do almost whatever you like, so being a rebel these days is pretty much pointless.)
#16 I don't like sports. I don't like to do them. I don't like to watch. I was always absolutely horrible at team sports. The only exception is running. I like that, because sometimes that's when I'm most alone and have all my thoughts to myself.
Done! Woo-hoo! :)
That was a lot of text. Probably the longest description I'll ever write. :)
This was day fifty-seven.

Er lag 56 km nordwestlich von Side auf ca. 1000 m. ü. M. im oberen Tal des Eurymedon (heute: Köprüçay) am westlichen Ende des Taurusgebirges.Der Überlieferung nach soll Selge nach dem Krieg um Troja durch den Seher Kalchas gegründet und durch Griechen aus Sparta besiedelt worden sein. Auf Münzen ist der Ort seit dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. nachweisbar. Wirtschaftliche Grundlage war der Anbau von Wein und Oliven auf der umgebenden fruchtbaren Hochebene. Politisch bestanden zu Aspendos gute Beziehungen, ansonsten war die Stadt kriegerisch gegen ihre Nachbarn ausgerichtet. Als Alexander der Große durch Kleinasien zog, verbündete sich die Stadt mit ihm, um, allerdings erfolglos, die nahe Stadt Termessos zu belagern. Polybios beschreibt einen Krieg zwischen Selge und Pednelissos 220 v. Chr., in dem Pednellissos Achaios, den Statthalter von Side, zu Hilfe rief. 25 v. Chr. verlor Selge die Selbstständigkeit und wurde in die römische Provinz Galatien eingegliedert. Laut Strabon soll die Stadt zu dieser Zeit etwa 20.000 Einwohner gehabt haben. Seine größte Blüte erreichte Selge zur Zeit des römischen Kaiserreiches. Im Jahr 339 kam es zu einer erfolglosen Belagerung durch die Goten. In byzantinischer Zeit war Selge Bischofssitz. Die Stadt wurde später in seldschukischer Zeit aufgegeben.Es sind die Reste der Stadtmauer, eines Theaters, eines Stadions, der Agora mit Säulenhallen, eines Gymnasions und einer Basilika erhalten. Das Theater wurde im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. neu gebaut. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer lagen ein Aquädukt und einige Kammergräber. ---- Selge (in Greek Σελγη) was an important city in Pisidia, on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, modern Antalya Province, Turkey, at the part where the river Eurymedon River (Turkish: Köprüçay)forces its way through the mountains towards the south.
The town was believed to be a Greek colony, for Strabo[1] states that it was founded by Spartans, but adds the somewhat unintelligible remark that previously it had been founded by Calchas. The acropolis of Selge bore the name of Kesbedion.[2] The district in which the town was situated was extremely fertile, producing abundance of oil and wine, but the town itself was difficult of access, being surrounded by precipices and beds of torrents flowing towards the Eurymedon and Cestrus (today Aksu), and requiring bridges to make them passable. In consequence of its excellent laws and political constitution, Selge rose to the rank of the most powerful and populous city of Pisidia, and at one time was able to send an army of 20,000 men into the field. Owing to these circumstances, and the valour of its inhabitants, for which they were regarded as worthy kinsmen of the Spartans, the Selgians were never subject to any foreign power, but remained in the enjoyment of their own freedom and independence. When Alexander the Great passed through Pisidia (333 BC), Selge sent an embassy to him and gained his favour and friendship.[3] At that time they were at war with Termessos.
At the period when Achaeus had made himself master of Western Asia, Selge were at war with Pednelissus, which was besieged by them; and Achaeus, on the invitation of Pednelissus, sent a large force against Selge (218 BC). After a long and vigorous siege, the Selgians, being betrayed and despairing of resisting Achaeus any longer, sent deputies to sue for peace, which was granted to them on the following terms: they agreed to pay immediately 400 talents, to restore the prisoners of Pednelissus, and after a time to pay 300 talents in addition.[4] We now have for a long time no particulars about the history of Selge; in the 5th century AD Zosimus[5] calls it indeed a little town, but it was still strong enough to repel a body of Goths. It is strange that Pliny does not notice Selge, for we know from its coins that it was still a flourishing town in the time of Hadrian; and it is also mentioned in Ptolemy[6] and Hierocles. Independently of wine and oil, the country about Selge was rich in timber, and a variety of trees, among which the storax was much valued from its yielding a strong perfume. Selge was also celebrated for an ointment prepared from the iris root.[7]
The remains of the city consist mainly of parts of the encircling wall and of the acropolis. A few traces have survived of the gymnasium, the stoa, the stadium and the basilica. There are also the outlines of two temples, but the best conserved monument is the theater, restored in the 3rd century AD.
Halfway on the road to Selge from the Pamphylian coastal plain, a well-preserved Roman Bridge crosses the deep Eurymedon valley

Trithigmostoma algivora no puede esconder lo que dice la parte sencilla de su nombre, que se alimenta de algas, y que de un intenso color verde tiñen su interior.
Trithigmostoma es un ciliado pequeño y nervioso, muy parecido a Chilodonella, género del que fue hermano y del que se diferencia por poseer una hilera de cilios en la parte dorsal delanatera. Trithigmostoma tiene forma ovada y una especie de pico redondeado en su parte anterior y en cuya proximidad se abre una pequeña boca en forma de ojal que se prolonga en una corta faringe reforzada por unos bastoncillos similares a los de Nassula.
.
Se mueve deslizándose y dando giros continuos, succionando el agua en la que pudieran estar las algas de las que se alimenta y parece que lo hace con éxito a la vista de lo que se ve que contiene su interior.
Trithigmostoma algivora vive en aguas cargadas de materia orgánica y procede de unas muestras de agua recogidas en la Laguna Grande, junto a la localidad zamorana de Ricobayo y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Montgomery, AL
History: The A-26, the last aircraft designated as an "attack bomber," was designed to replace the Douglas A-20 Havoc/Boston. It incorporated many improvements over the earlier Douglas designs. The first three XA-26 prototypes first flew in July 1942, and each was configured differently: Number One as a daylight bomber with a glass nose, Number Two as a gun-laden night-fighter, and Number Three as a ground-attack platform, with a 75-millimeter cannon in the nose. This final variant, eventually called the A-26B, was chosen for production.
Upon its delivery to the 9th Air Force in Europe in November 1944 (and the Pacific Theater shortly thereafter), the A-26 became the fastest US bomber of WWII. The A-26C, with slightly-modified armament, was introduced in 1945. The A-26s combat career was cut short by the end of the war, and because no other use could be found for them, many A-26s were converted to JD-1 target tugs for the US Navy.
A strange aircraft-designation swap occurred in 1948, when the Martin B-26 Marauder was deactivated and the Douglas A-26 was re-designated the B-26. (It kept this designation until 1962.) B-26s went on to serve extensively in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. In Vietnam, they were commonly used in the Counter-Insurgency (COIN) role, with very heavy armament and extra power. This version, the B-26K, was based in Thailand and was, to confuse things further, called the A-26 for political reasons. B-26s were also used for training, VIP transport, cargo, night reconnaissance, missile guidance and tracking, and as drone-control platforms.
Post-war uses of the airplane included luxurious executive transport (Smith Tempo I; Tempo II and Biscayne 26; LAS Super-26; Berry Silver-Sixty; Monarch-26; On-Mark Marketeer/Marksman), aerial surveying and, most notably, firefighting, a role in which it is still occasionally used today.

Hoy con nuestro agradecimiento a Bárbara Barrera por su precioso artículo sobre diatomeas en la revista Vidriooh!
Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Staurastrum, es alga estrellada y espinosa y siempre es alga de equilibrios y simetría como todas las de esta familia de los désmidos que incluye lunas, estrellas y gemas llenas de vida, lunas como Closterium, estrellas como Staurastrum,y gemas como Cosmarium. Todas ellas tienen algo en común algo que va más allá de su simetría y sus formas sorprendentes, todas ellas tienen en común su belleza.
Staurastrum gracile extiende su cuerpo en brazos largos para sujetarse en el agua, brazos provistos de rugosidades y pequeñas espinas para poder anclarse así entre los tallos y filamentos de otras algas y no ser arrastrada por el agua.
Llega ya el invierno y a Staurastrum gracile no le intimida, parece ser para él estación propia para la vida y por eso se multiplica partiéndose por la mitad y reconstruyéndose en sus dos nuevas mitades. Pero aunque Staurastrum se parte, no se separa de momento, sigue creciendo al mismo tiempo en sus dos mitades nuevas que unidas seguirán flotando en armonía hasta completar su desarrollo y cuando esto ocurra, entonces sí, se independizarán, llenando con su vida de estrellas las lagunas de invierno.
Staurastrum gracile es una especie muy difundida que ocupa los bordes de los lagos y lagunas de aguas limpias en las que habita. El de hoy, procede de las lagunas de Salburúa en Vitoria y ha sido fotografiado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia

I got no regrets and I remember the day that we met...
There was no way that I could forget you
So I followed you home and I waited til you were alone...
And I crept into your room while you slept..
I laid next to you.. and I knew that I could never let you go...
I know this seems so wrong
But I'm just a love sick criminal
This photograph is ALSO crap.
I'm very dissapointed with myself.
Bad day (sorta), bad evening.
Tomorrow shall be better! Take a bus (all by myself, how scary!!) to downtown Toronto from my little suburban town to hang out with Andrea, who is an AMAZING photographer and a huge part of my life. She's been here since I was born and will pretty much be here until she's old and wrinkly and I go and visit her and make her dinner.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT FAMILY DOES.

The Old Timers Mine and Museum opens a window on the fascinating history of opal mining in Coober Pedy, revealing not only the hard physical grind and the occasional bonanza that was mining in the early days, but also an intriguing mystery at the heart of the mine.
oldtimerThe original mine dates back to 1916, but the old miners, whoever they were, concealed its existence by back-filling the shafts. The mystery is why they never returned to dig out the opal that remained. Perhaps they went to the First World War and never came home again. It was not until 1968 that the hidden mine was discovered by Ron Gough when he was digging an extension to his underground home and broke through, exposing three large seams of good quality opal, as well as opalised seashells. These have been retained and can be seen by visitors today.
The museum shows how miners, usually working alone, would dig the shafts and blast holes and winch the dug soil up to the surface, all by hand, with only candles and carbine lamps for illumination. Ron Gough was one of these miners, and it was he who realized the potential for opening the mine as a tourist attraction, his dugout (his family’s underground home) was added, being set up as a display home to show what life was like living underground from the 1920s to the 1990s.
There were many setbacks, including, in the 70s, another miner pegging a claim and blasting away, reaching the bedroom before he was stopped by court order. However, delays were eventually windlass2overcome and, with the fortuitous discovery of opal worth $50,000 just when finances were desperate, the Old Timers Mine and Museum began operating on 7th July 1987. Since then it has never looked back. Now it is one of the premier tourist attractions in Coober Pedy, having won many tourist awards for its ingenious self-guided mine tours through this historical mine (with guides written in many languages), the demonstrations of opal mining machinery and the chance for visitors to find their own piece of opal by noodling through the left over mullock heaps. Polished opal and rock specimens and opal jewellery and souvenirs are, of course, on show in the gift shop. What makes this visit to the Old Timers Mine and Museum unique for many people is seeing how miners and their families lived and worked underground.

Recently returned from two days spent at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and this is one of many photos I took while there. We stayed at the historic El Tovar Hotel, situated just along the rim - what a great location! I hadn't been to the Grand Canyon in 15 years and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the breath-taking landscapes once again.
INFORMATION ON THE GRAND CANYON:
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Longstanding scientific consensus has been that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a six million year period. The canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. The canyon began in the west, followed by another that formed in the east. Eventually, the two broke through and met as a single majestic rent in the earth some six million years ago. The merger apparently occurred where the river today bends to the west, in the area known as the Kaibab Arch.
Before European immigration, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
The Grand Canyon is a massive rift in the Colorado Plateau that exposes uplifted Proterozoic and Paleozoic strata, and is also one of the six distinct physiographic sections of the Colorado Plateau province. The Grand Canyon is unmatched throughout the world for the vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. It is not the deepest canyon in the world — Cotahuasi Canyon (11598 feet or 3535 m) and Colca Canyon (10499 feet or 3200 m), both in Arequipa, Peru, and Hells Canyon (7,993 feet or 2436 m) on the Oregon-Idaho border, are all deeper — but Grand Canyon is known for its overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape. Geologically it is significant because of the thick sequence of ancient rocks that are beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the canyon. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North American continent.
About 600 deaths have occurred in the Grand Canyon since the 1870s. Some of these deaths occurred as the result of overly zealous photographic endeavors, some were the result of airplane collisions within the canyon, and some visitors drowned in the Colorado River. Many hikers overestimate their fitness level, become dehydrated and confused, and must be rescued. The Park Service now posts a picture of an attractive and fit young man at several trailheads with the caption "Every year we rescue hundreds of people from the Canyon. Most of them look like him", in an attempt to discourage hikers from feats which are beyond their abilities.
According to Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon, 50 fatalities have resulted from falls; 65 deaths were attributable to environmental causes, including heat stroke, cardiac arrest, dehydration, and hypothermia; 7 were caught in flash floods; 79 were drowned in the Colorado River; 242 perished in airplane and helicopter crashes (128 of them in the 1956 disaster mentioned below); 25 died in freak errors and accidents, including lightning strikes and rock falls; 47 committed suicide; and 23 were the victims of homicides.

I’m continuing with my series of pieces stemming from emotions felt whilst reading this article: www.indcatholicnews.com/news.php?viewStory=31899
I've called this piece Nevertheless She Persisted: Frustrated
It seems to me that within the RCC women can be used to do so much of the work in the Church, without which parishes all over the world would fold, and so many people’s lives would be the poorer.
In my Diocese, multiple women's writings and opinions can be ignored, but one man's letter of concern brings about some small action from the Archbishop (passing on a letter) and a personal 'phone call from the Bishop to that man! Still nothing is done about our situation – naturally - but he is listened to and spoken to, unlike we women. It is as if we are invisible. As long as our bodies keep on doing what is necessary for the RCC to survive, the voice can be ignored. So too in so many situations in society generally.
So many male clergy in this Diocese, to varying degrees and in various ways, seem to think nothing of acting to silence women. Whether it be refusing to discuss, even confidentially, a priest who has caused so much destruction because ‘I was at Seminary with him,’ or gently changing the subject and shutting down conversation with ‘oh well, he was like that in Seminary,’ through to hierarchy not only refusing to acknowledge the very existence of some women, but ordering that those under their command should act in the same way. Subtle, or not so subtle ways of achieving the same end – the silencing of women. Trying to show us we are invisible; not deserving of even a hearing let alone any consideration. We should figuratively don the veil, the full body covering, and hide away. They do not want to see us, speak to us, hear our story, our opinions, our voices. Of course, in the RCC, there are those who willingly literally wear the veil, seeming to believe it actually makes some kind of positive difference! Each to their own – if it is truly their own personal choice and not done out of a taught desire to follow ‘tradition’ for example, then it does not disempower them.
What is truly amazing and perhaps even galling and distressing, is how many women simply accept the treatment meted out to them by such clergy – and in society generally. So many just give up, resign themselves to remaining unseen, unheard and unacknowledged. Hopes and ambitions, even simple good will towards others are frustrated by the people who treat women in such a way. Women’s actions, their voices and their true calling are prevented from reaching fruition by such behaviour towards women. Who are these men exactly who believe they know the will of God better than He Himself, and would ignore and even attempt to thwart God’s will for women for their own ends? Who believe they are justified in treating women as they do?
So, to the lady who is hidden behind the cloth, I first added a representation of the crown of thorns - for the sacrifices women worldwide make both in what they do and in what they are not permitted to do – for those who have their calling frustrated by rules made by mere men. There are scratches and drips of blood from the thorns - scars that may never fade.
I went bold with the flowers on this piece (way out of my comfort zone lol!) – that symbol of the harmony that Pope Francis associates so strongly with women, as described in that article, would seem the perfect symbol within this piece of a lot of what frustrates women and hinders them in their lives and calling. Gentle, peaceful, passive, silent yet doing what is necessary to please others…
I am not saying that women can’t be gentle and quiet, peaceful people…everyone is unique after all! If they choose – and that is the vital part – if they choose, of course, they can be so. The problem occurs when others force this upon women – upon anybody, but relative to the article, upon women. When women are prevented from speaking out, from making their voice heard and their presence seen and felt, that is when they are frustrated in their lives. So the flowers surround the woman as much as the veil – both acting together to keep her where she belongs – and as she should be in the eyes of so many, to varying degrees.
I used the colour purple to represent frustration, and left the flowers red, with hints of red elsewhere on the woman also, for the anger that can come from having parts (or all) of your life frustrated and controlled to such an extent by others, usually of the opposite sex.
Perhaps another dark piece, or perhaps a positive piece – the woman looks strong to me and those eyes – all that can be seen of her – hold power! She's not silenced - yet!
TFL!
