This is a portrait of Nobel Prize winning American playwright Eugene O'Neill - taken by the photographer Carl Van Vechten in 1933.

 

It was taken with an early Leica, and a (then "new" technology) Leitz Summar 5cm f/2 lens.

 

The original is now held by the United States Library of Congress, along with many other works by Van Vechten.

 

An extraordinary image I feel, given the times, and the men (both photographer and subject).

 

"In 1932 Van Vechten moved on to a new career, from novelist to photographer. While he was always interested in photography, it was the introduction of the new Leica camera, portable and using the inexpensive 35 mm film, that caused him to take photography seriously"

 

This is a quotation from the biographical details of the photographer as published by Brandeis University, along with access to many of his images, here:

lts.brandeis.edu/research/archives-speccoll/findingguides...

 

It doesn't tell the half of it.

 

You can view more of Carl Van Vechten's astonishing work, now preserved at the Library of Congress here:

And you can see the influence of Oskar Barnack's Leica camera, all around you every day.

The "Via dell'Amore" (Pathway of Love) is a pathway linking Riomaggiore to Manarola and is probably one of the most famous and renowned touristic routes of "Le Cinque Terre". There's a very impressive panoramic view on the cliffs. At the end of the path, it is covered with a gallery of arches, wihich is an art gallery indeed, all covered with paintings and murales (freely made by tourists).

Second Life holiday parties was an incredible mix of trance, dnb, electronica, dark psy, goa, minimal, proggy, acid, experimental, industrial, noize, tribal, jazz, live music, country, blues, reggae, salsa, classical, opera, and Christmas music. I heard it all and then some.

 

I love music of all kinds. If it's good, it's worth listening to, so don't start with the nose-up-in-the-air over your favorite genre. Believe me... good music will always find an audience. An audience of sophisticated listeners will stop to listen to any good sound... even if it isn't part of your normal repertoire.

 

What is amazing is that dj's and musicians around the world know this, and they borrow from all genres to create their own personal sounds.

 

Here in Second Life, we get the results from around the world. World music mixes with the trendy sounds of the day, and we get the sounds that we love so much.

 

I want to thank all the dj's, musicians, club owners and event makers in SL. You guys made a holiday scene like no other. APPLAUSE & BRAVO ::::

 

Special thanks to you <3:

2009... here we goooooo!

If you have ever hear or read that term "the photographic magic hour" and "the golden light" and always wondered what it really meant, then this photo illustrates it very well.

 

One hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset, is the time of the day where the near horizontal rays of the sun must cross the longest distance across our atmosphere and as a result the colors light up with a strong orange cast depending on the atmospheric conditions. Usually some clouds and dust will reinforce this natural phenomenon.

 

For photographers it is a pure gift from mother nature: it is like having a giant candlelight that produces the same warm colors as interior lights on day film. This lighting condition produces an incredible mood to the scene. Some photographers say that lighting and the quality of light is what turns a good photo into a great one.

 

Here this lighting was perfect to describe the mood of this festive family having a great time picnicking at the lake. The temperature was perfect and the golden light of the sunset was adding some warmth to their happy expressions.

slim cessna's auto club in concert in toronto at lee's palace, monday 20 july, 2009. i left the nikon at home and took my crappy little point-and-shoot, regretfully, but i had a quick chat with a sensible photographer there and when he publishes his shots in a couple of weeks i'll add a link to them here.

 

a great band, and if you don't know them, go have a look and a listen sometime. here's a link to their website, and one of many tracks available on youtube, hold on (from their self-titled album, available through their site or alternative tentacles).

 

in ottawa? they're playing at babylon tuesday, 21 july. go see them, buy some cds and don't worry, they'll be there (last time they were due to play ottawa, they got stopped at the border by some dick in a uniform - we drove from toronto to see them and only found out about the cancellation at the club). last show they did in toronto was 2003 or 2004 at the horseshoe, so we were glad to get to see them again.

 

apologies to the band for not getting shots of everyone.

Actually the first work day after the 9th anniversary of us hiring Caney to work as our dog back in 1999, after interviewing him at North Shore Animal Shelter.

 

Although it may look like a relaxing day at the office with his head in the clouds, he actually completely shredded his paw pads on this trip. His hind paws were bloody by the end of the ascent/descent to exit out.

 

This is in part to two things, the humidity keeping his paws and the rocks wet, the slickness from the humidity on the rocks, the course NH granite, the trip up the King Ravine (which the RMC guide says "This trail is NOT recommended for dogs"), and just the general steepness off all three days hiking.

 

Ironically, I just recently STOPPED carrying the paw repair kit. Definitely back in the bag for now on.

 

As cute as he is this is one tough dog, it was 60F and 100% humidity when we got up at 5am at 4200ft. The hike out in the same humidity felt like we were walking through a sauna, and it only got warmer. While it's pretty oppressive for a human, I know it was worse on him. He was panting non stop from camp to the car which was over 5 miles and 3.5 hours of hiking.

 

Typically, the daytime highs at 4000-6000ft in the northeastern US are only in the low 60s with much lower humidity than down in the valleys.

 

It was so hot my gear was soaked before we left camp, and his fur was soaked, and it never actually rained. Suffice to say, this little break in the 30mph winds (when they did please us with a gust) was well earned.

You have different experiences when you do different things... I read that thing in some non-descript book and took a wee bit seriously when I went to Pilani this May. Gurgaon was heavy with traffic and potholes while the outskirts were dustier and had more potholes. Some were minnows but made you jump, while a few others were deep pits. Have to see it to believe it. It amused me to think they might have chanced upon an oil find. But after a while when Rajasthan came closer, it was all home again.

 

A bit different, however for me. Seven years before, only a few students in BITS used to have cell phones in and around Pilani. Big gadgets with nasty buttons. Siemens, Motorola and the likes... Now, every student has one, even two.

 

There is still no water in many villages. Tractors supply water, and women drive them too. The pigeons around these areas seem to be lazy at this time of the year, May. Bereft of water, may be, they hop around the roads, get crushed by the vehicles. Munnaji is doing good. Our days were better, he said. 'Now, ANC has 300 menu items! Who'll come to me?' he asks, leaving me a little more retrospective and a little confused. Pappu, without even concentrating much can sense anybody's coordinates in Sky Lawns. I was behind the prohibited area, looking at the other side of the campus when Chotu arrived there with a Mango Shake in his hand. Pappu ji had told him where I was. How far can one see, I say...

 

More girls wear T-shirts. Chimpu is still the busiest in C'not. His white ambassador stands outside housing booze. Hemanth is lax, Golden Dragon's dosas taste better. Exotica is no more... The theka is... Palam Singh, in his courteous manner, invited me to lunch in VKB mess. Had those naans, french fries, paneer and aloo - the Sunday lunch. They were delicious.

 

On the road, there are moments when you think of nothing else but the road and how good you feel on it. I wish the road was longer and I had more time to cover it. But for this summer, this ride was good enough to keep the batteries charged till winter.

Well, here is another in my [occasional series on containers](http://www.jezblog.com/index.php?showimage=1316) ........ Containers....... [For shipping and world trade](http://www.jezblog.com/index.php?showimage=1231&PHPSESSID=253e73527f577b8f5f3d5c19047cb3a1&reply_to=47309&PHPSESSID=253e73527f577b8f5f3d5c19047cb3a1)......... but right now Im really thinking of the containers.......... Yeah the actual containers themselves...... and what's in them...... if any of it could keep or would be worth keeping for a very long time........

 

Today I went to the [British Museum to see an amazing exhibition of 'The Book of the Dead'](http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/all_current_exhibitions/book_of_the_dead.aspx) . Really it is looking at the religion of Ancient Egypt. The beliefs and spells to guide the dead of their time into the life everlasting........ Into the 'Field of Reeds'.

 

"The Field of Reeds. The God who is in it is Ra.

 

The very high mountain.

 

The Mound of transfigured spirits.

 

The Mound of Wenet. The god who is in it is the Destroyers of Souls.

 

The river of flaming fire.

 

The Mound of Kheraha. The god who is in it is Hapi."

 

(spell 150 names of the mounds of the Netherworld)

 

The book of the dead took the form of hundreds of spells written to protect and guide the spirit through the tests that they must pass to make it into eternal life and the prospect of riding with the Sun God Ra on his boat each day as he rode across the skies.

 

It's amazing that 3000 year old bits of papyrus survive to this day and are on display to pass on all that was sacred to the ancient Egyptians. Hey that in itself is a pretty amazing testament to the way they preserved their dead and the containers they buried them in ...... as each individuals book of the dead was buried with its deceased owner........ Often they almost clutched it ........ Mummified in it in their sarcophagus.

 

I don't know if any of our religious texts will stand a reading in 3000 years time......... or need to be stuck on to embalmed corpses......... and I wonder what of our civilization of now will still survive to be marveled at in a distant future.

 

I don't know what could, should or would survive. But Im not sure any of the stuff in these containers is it................

 

I'm not sure where you would put anything you wanted to keep....... something you wanted to be presented to the world in 3000 years from now........ maybe on the internet..........??????

 

Although Harv must be working on a pretty amazing series of catacombs under his house........ As today he tells me he unearthed an unopened box of........ :

 

"This is a FULL BOX of SEALED Agfa Record Rapid (50 sheets), a paper considered to be one of the best ever made.

Agfa stopped production of this paper in the 90's, it has acquired cult status as being 'state of the art' exhibition paper.

The box is factory sealed, unopened, undamaged and was safely stored in cool dark conditions. (see pictures)

This is a very rare opportunity, I doubt you'll see an unopened box again as they are simply not available anywhere.

Much of my portfolio is printed on this paper, if I still had a darkroom I'd keep it but I switched to digital years ago."

 

The like of such a valuable and rare find ........ can only be dug from ancient protected places........ Protected from the desert sun and away from grave robbers and sand vipers............ Yes it can only be found in ancient hidden rare places.......... er.......... or otherwise you can bid for it on ebay ........ hehehehehehehe.......... :

 

[http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AGFA-RECORD-RAPID-NEW-Sealed-/170571000624?pt=UK_Photography_DarkroomSupplies_SM&hash=item27b6d2eb30](http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AGFA-RECORD-RAPID-NEW-Sealed-/170571000624?pt=UK_Photography_DarkroomSupplies_SM&hash=item27b6d2eb30)

Much Better Viewed Large On Black Here

 

This is a large bronze sculpture of an eagle located in the front of the parking lots for the "Planes of Fame" air museum and the Grand Canyon Airlines building at the intersection of US Highway 180 and State Route 64. It is really magnificent.

 

I not sure who is the creator of this wonderful monument because I couldn't find a placard giving the name, but I'm pretty sure it is Sandy Scott, the the same artist who has a smaller but similar beautiful eagle sculpture inside the Grand Canyon Airlines lobby. ("Sovereign Wings" by Sandy Scott - see below).

 

The artist Sandy Scott's website is: www.sandyscott.com

 

You never know what you will run into when you get off the interstate highways and tool along the smaller roads - this beautiful sculpture was a real pleasant surprise!

 

(I enhanced the original photo with Photoshop filter Fractalius...and the beautiful Arizona sky enhanced the rest.)

While taking this photo a girl next to me was also taking some shots at the same location, to my envy she was using a silver Nikon FM2n analog SLR camera. To my surprise, when she put down her camera and I saw her, it was Mandy, a good friend from flickr whom I've never met in person before, what a pleasant surprise it was. Just like Liyin DIP put it 'What a small world!'

 

In order to symbolize Mandy in the vast greens of Cameron Highlands tropical rainforest, I've uploaded this "flower wrapped around by the green leaves".

Cacatua galerita triton, identified thanks to Graygeek2008.

 

ENGLISH

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Cacatua galerita, is one of the larger and more widespread of Australia's cockatoos. Frequently sought as a cage bird in and out of Australia, they can be so numerous that in crop-growing areas of Australia they are shot or poisoned as pests. Government permit is required though, as they are a protected species under the Australian Commonwealth Law.

 

They can be destructive to cereal and fruit crops, as well as timber structures such as house planking, garden furniture and trees.

 

The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo is similar in appearance to the three species of corella found in Australia. Corellas are smaller, however, and lack the prominent yellow crest. There are a few regional subspecies within Australia.

 

Typically these birds will weigh around 800 grams. In most cases, male birds can be distinguished from Females with their almost black eyes, whereas the female has a more red/brown coloured eye. Their distinctive raucous call can be very loud; it is meant to travel through the forest environments in which they live, including tropical and subtropical rainforests. These birds are naturally curious creatures, as well as very intelligent. They have adapted very well to European settlement in Australia and live in many urban areas.

 

Sulphur-crested cockatoos may no longer be imported into the United States as a result of the Wild Bird Conservation Act. However, they have been bred in captivity. The potential owner should be aware of the bird's needs, as well as how loud these birds can be and their natural desire to chew wood and other hard and organic materials.

CASTELLANO

La Cacatua galerita, también conocida con el nombre de Cacatua de Moño Amarillo Mayor, forma parte de la família cacatúidos que está formada por 17 espécies de cacatúas, todas ellas distribuidas en Australasia.

Su plumaje es predominantemente blanco con un destacado penacho de color amarillo. Las coberteras de los oídos son de un color amarillo más fuerte. Anillo perioftálmico blanco. Muestra el color amarillo en las plumas de la subcola y en el reverso de las remeras. El pico, al igual que sus patas, es gris.

 

Su area de distribución va desde Nueva Guinea a las Islas Aru y, desde el noreste de Australia, hasta Tasmania, aunque también ha sido introducida en distintas islas como Nueva Zelanda y Indonesia.

 

Las plumas del penacho de la Cacatua galerita triton, amarillo-azufre, son más redondeadas y anchas que las de la gran Cacatúa de Penacho Amarillo (Cacatua galerita galerita).

Found out last week that I'm heading down to the beach tomorrow!

 

I'm so excited! I haven't been to the beach in three years!

 

I'm glad to be getting back out our skim boards and remembering how to use them. ^_^

 

Someday I would love to learn how to surf, but that day hasn't come yet.

 

Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful Monday and a magnificent rest of the week!

Here future Lovers, when in Troops they come,

Venus, to visit thy distinguish'd Dome,

As thro' this consecrated Shade they pass,

Shall offer to the Genius of the Place.

Shift now the closer Scene: and view around,

With various Beauties the wide Landskip crown'd.

Here level Glades extend their length'ning Lines,

There in just Order the deep Quincunce shines.

Here chrystal Lakes reflect contiguous Shades,

There distant Hills uplift their azure Heads.

Round the free Lawn here gadding Heifers stray,

And frisking Lambs in sportive Gambols play.

There murmur to the Wind Groves ever-green,

And inter-mingled Buildings rise between:

The Sun declin'd with milder Glory burns,

And the fair Piece with various Light adorns.

Lo! in the Centre of this beauteous Scene,

Glitters beneath her Dome the Cyprian Queen:

Not like to her, whom ancient Homer prais'd,

To whom a thousand sacred Altars blaz'd:

When simple Beauty was the only Charm,

With which each tender Nymph and Swain grew warm:

But, Yielding to the now-prevailing Taste,

In Gold, for modern Adoration, drest.

For her the Naiads, in their watry Bed,

Amid the level Green a Mirror spread;

Along whose terass'd Banks the shelt'ring Wood,

Defends from ruder Winds th' unruffled Flood.

Social Media Better Tourism [ reload ] dentro la Social Media Week Rome, il Festival della Rete è un'ulteriore tappa pubblica del nostro percorso di ricerca che mette al centro le persone e il loro rapporto con il viaggio.

 

Indagheremo ancora una volta su come per le persone un valore [ primario ] come l'esperienza del viaggio, trova oggi in questo web sociale il luogo perfetto per essere condiviso in forma di racconto e come queste tante storie vanno a impattare sulle dinamiche d'incontro tra domanda e offerta turistica.

 

Per parlare di tutto ciò, l'8 Febbraio a Roma abbiamo coinvolto un soggetto che fa ricerca, un'esperienza di governance di un territorio, una giovane start up, un leader di mercato: dopo le loro presentazioni, la conversazione con il pubblico.

Second installment of my "in the flesh"

View On Black

 

Year : 2005

Placement : Right forearm

Complete time : 6 hours

chronology : 3rd tattoo

 

This was a drawing i made on a friends coffee table back in 1999.

over time i changed a few parts of it,then redrew it before i

got it inked into my skin. I shopped the photo so you can see the whole

thing,as it wraps around my inner forearm.

At the heart of it,is a warped Infinity style symbol,branching out towards my hand.

this particular idea for me was this ...

 

I have 4 points to my life and this tattoo is reflective of them

1 the person i was born,

2 the person i have become,

3 the death of my body, and

4 the death of my mind/imagination.

 

on the left there is a point that looks like a claw,or spike.

this is the Person i was born. the person i was raised as and

molded by my parents and family to be.

on the opposite side,to the right is the person i am now.

this is the man i became,when it crossed over what i was

made to know,or believe . Now i have the will to decide for myself

what i believe and what is right or wrong.

 

the two fang-like points on my inner wrist are my deaths.

the left signifies the death of my mortal body,the final

moment of inhabiting this shell in whatever condition it is in.

 

and the right is the only death i truly fear...

the Death of my imagination. of my thoughts.

in some respects the death would also include

peoples memories of me. the knowledge or

talent i have shown people. The challenges i have

shown my friends,or the inspiration i have been to them.

 

this death would mean i am no longer even a memory in

anyone's heart. that anything and everything i have ever done

or said is finally dead.

 

this tattoo remains black and grey to this day,but originally it was

going to be full color with blood red tips for the four points.

perhaps someday i will get it all filled in.

My Photopedia - landmarks with a story.

Angeregt durch den Roman 'Lichtenstein' von Wilhelm Hauff, wurde das Schloss 1840-1842 im neugotischen Stil erbaut.

 

Zum Schlossgelände gehören der Gerobau, die Kapelle, ein weitläufiger Schlossgarten und der romantische Schlosshof.

In den restaurierten Gemächern des Grafen Wilhelm von Württemberg zeigt sich die üppige Pracht der spätromantischen Wohnkultur.

 

 

Das Schloss Lichtenstein ist auch bekannt als 'Märchenschloss Württembergs', da es in Baustil und Einrichtung die Romantik weiterleben lässt. So versteht es sich als eine Huldigung an das Mittelalter.

 

Besitzer des Lichtensteins ist die Familiengesellschaft Herzog v. Urach Grafen v. Württemberg

 

°°°

Schloss Lichtenstein – Das Märchenschloss in der Schwäbischen Alb

Das Schloss Lichtenstein ist kein historischer mittelalterlicher Bau, sondern entstand im 19. Jahrhundert zu einer Zeit, in der romantische Vorstellungen von einem ritterlichen Mittelalter überall in der Literatur zu finden waren. Nicht unwesentlichen Anteil daran hatte wohl Wilhelm Hauffs Erzählung „Lichtenstein“ die auf die gleichnamige Burg Bezug nahm, welche einst an dieser Stelle stand. 1840 bis 1842 wurde das neue Schloss auf dem Berg auf Geheiß eines Grafen erbaut, der sich eine standesgemäße Unterbringung für seine Sammlung von Gemälden, Waffen und Rüstungen wünschte. In den Folgejahren wurden auch diverse Nebengebäude errichtet.

 

Das heute im Rahmen von Führungen zu besichtigende Schloss entspricht der romantischen Vorstellung einer waschechten Ritterburg. Der Besucher kann hier die Waffenhalle, den Rittersaal, die Schlosskapelle, die Trinkstube und viele weitere Einzelheiten besichtigen. Der Schlossgarten lädt zum Spazieren ein und Ausstellungsstücke wie die historischen Kanonen versetzen den Besucher fast zurück in alte Zeiten.

 

Im neugotischen Stil erbaut besticht Schloss Lichtenstein durch sein malerisches Äußeres. Der hohe Turm, die Treppengiebel, die hölzerne Brücke, die kleinen Erker und Ecktürmchen – das alles entspricht zwar nicht im engen Sinn einer tatsächlichen mittelalterlichen Ritterburg, sondern kann eher als pseudo-historisch bezeichnet werden, bringt die Besucher aber gerade deswegen erst recht zum Träumen, da in diesem Rahmen all die romantischen Ideen über tapfere Edelmänner und holde Hofdamen greifbar nahe erscheinen.

Öffnungszeiten: Dezember/Januar: geschlossen, Februar-März: nur Samstag, Sonn- und Feiertage von 10.00-16.00 Uhr, April-Oktober: täglich von 9.00-17.30 Uhr, November: nur Samstag, Sonn- und Feiertage von 10.00-16.00 Uhr.

 

[l a r g e r]

Walking through a dream

I see you

My light in darkness breathing hope of new life

Now I live through you and you through me

Enchanted

I pray in my heart that this dream never ends

 

I see me through your eyes

Living through life flying high

Your life shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

I live through your love

 

You teach me how to see

All that’s beautiful

My senses touch your world I never pictured

Now I give my hope to you

I surrender

I pray in my heart that this world never ends

 

I see me through your eyes

Living through life flying high

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life

I offer my love, for you

 

When my heart was never open

(and my spirit never free)

To the world that you have shown me

But my eyes could not division

All the colors of love and of life ever more

Evermore

 

(I see me through your eyes)

I see me through your eyes

(Living through life flying high)

Flying high

 

Your love shines the way into paradise

So I offer my life as a sacrifice

And live through your love

And live through your life

I see you

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was conceived and largely built by Danish architect Jørn Utzon, who, in 2003, received the Pritzker Prize, architecture's highest honour.

 

The Sydney Opera House was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 28 June 2007. Currently, it is the most recently constructed World Heritage Site to be designated as such, sharing this distinction with such ancient landmarks as Stonehenge and the Giza Necropolis. It is one of the 20th century's most distinctive buildings and one of the most famous performing arts centres in the world.

 

The Sydney Opera House is situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, close to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It sits at the northeastern tip of the Sydney central business district (the CBD), surrounded on three sides by the harbour (Sydney Cove and Farm Cove) and neighboured by the Royal Botanic Gardens.

 

The Opera House was formally completed in 1973, having cost $102 million.

Broad Pool lies in a shallow basin on the limestone plateau beneath Cefn Bryn. It is one of the most conspicuous and best-known features of central Gower. The pool is known to have been in existence in 1645. Its origin appears to have been natural, although there is evidence that the pool was modified by scouring (removal of sediment and vegetation) from the late Eighteenth century.

 

The Pool contains a rich assemblage of aquatic plants, including Lesser Marshwort and Alternate Water-milfoil, both rare in South Wales. Fringed Water lily is present and has dominated the aquatic vegetation in the past. This attractive and uncommon plant is only native in a small area of southeast England and was introduced to Broad Pool in around 1952.

 

The Pool is visited by a wide range of waterfowl and wetland birds, including Grey Heron, Little Grebe, with passage migrants such as Ruff and Spotted Redshank. It is locally important breeding site for amphibians and supports a rich aquatic invertebrate fauna, including fourteen species of dragonflies and damselflies.

 

The adjacent area of Bog and moor is dominated by heath plants such as Cross-leaved Heath and Heather with Purple Moor-grass, Rushes, Bog Myrtle and Round-leaved Sundew in the wetter areas. The heathland and area around Broad Pool is also of ornithological importance with nesting Snipe and Lapwing in summer and Hen Harrier, Merlin and Short-eared Owl regularly recorded in winter months.

Jermaine Riley might not be a household name just yet but he's certainly worth keeping an eye on.

 

Hello Earth is Jermaine's latest release following his previous records; Goodbye Krypton (which was his debut record) and Nine Ten Eleven - The Refixes (which was composed of remakes). Both of which along with a couple of his singles are all available for free download, just like this latest one.

 

Mixing soulful R&B with a cool hip hop dance rhythm, Hello Earth makes for a great club album or something to hold on to if you simply need some smoothing tracks for evening company.

 

Former member of Brit pop and R&B group, FMD, Jermaine Riley is slowly but surely carving a name for himself in the scene as a solo artist. Showcasing his love for one of the most well-known superheroes the world over, Superman; Riley packs Hello Earth with 11 cuts that range from R&B mellow mixes to upbeat dance cuts.

 

Paying homage to the creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster; the album chronicles Superman's transition from leaving Krypton and moving to Earth. I guess, you can say it's a concept album of sorts. The songs are both catchy and easy to listen to. You'll find traces of Ne-Yo, Usher and Chris Brown as you listen.

 

Track like Smallville beautifully features Jermaine's vocal range. It's a sweet song that you can pop onto your player and enjoy without much fuss. A few must-listen cuts include Wonder Woman ft. Lioness; Peaceful Day ft. Cherri V and of course, title track, Hello Earth.

   

Jermaine Riley is an artist that you shouldn't miss out on especially if you love R&B. Unlike his previous releases which featured covers or 90s samples, Hello Earth is all about the artist. It comes with original cuts and a nice (not to mention) fresh take on the concept album. Really enjoyable piece that you should be downloading right now.

An 18th century gargoyle ‘Dinemonyo’ altar table

 

Estimate: PHP 1,800,000 - 2,000,000

 

1st half, 18th century

Manila

Balayong wood, engraved metal mounts

84 x 109 x 72 cm (33 x 43 x 28 1/2 in)

 

Provenance:

Formerly from a prominent family in Manila

 

Called colloquially as dinemonyo table, it is one of the most elusive pieces of early Hispano-Filipino furniture, considered arguably as the pinnacle object to many serious furniture collectors and connoisseurs. An authentic example with original members is an extremely rare find. The earliest altar tables made by Chinese artisans residing in Batangas were copied from Ming dynasty tables as they both shared the same simplistic, rectilinear profile – a product of pragmatic design and simple joinery based on practical rather than aesthetic considerations. Later on, masks that resemble gargoyles on the knees above the legs and ball-and-claw feet were added as ornamentals. At first commissioned by friars for exclusive use in churches, later emulated by the affluent principalia and ilustrado families on which to display their venerated ivory santos. In other cultures, as from 6th century Japan, roof ornaments made from fired clay, stone, or wood called Onigawara gargoyles have been used in Buddhist temples to stop leaks. In European architecture, medieval cathedrals have had carved grotesque creatures with spouts to redirect water from the roof away from the side of the building to prevent the erosion of the mason work. The gargoyles are supposedly illustrated evil as they are intended to turn away evil and harm. Among the Chinese, guardian lions made of stone were placed in front of imperial palaces and tombs, temples, and government offices as they were believed to have powerful protective benefits.

 

The rectangular paneled top is enclosed by a frame with ice-plate edge to soften the edges and disguise its thickness. Below are two large drawers fitted with umbrella bosses, ornate protective key plates, and O-ring pulls. Reinforced at the sides by flanges with billowing, cloud-like outlines, so do the aprons that connect the gargoyle or ‘demonyo’ masks on all four corners. These demonyo masks have raised fluted top hair, bulging eyes, prominent nose, mouth agape revealing some teeth and fangs, and scrolling facial hair, striking a menacing and powerful demeanor. The cabriole legs show the delineations of the lion’s lower leg before terminating in deep, highly detailed ball and claw foot grasping a ball, resting on round-edged stretchers surmounted on ogee feet. Assembled using ancient Chinese mortise and tenon (closed and through types), as well as dovetail, the joints remain firm and strong.

 

Made of highly prized indigenous rosewood known as balayong (Afzelia rhomboidea), it has reddish brown color that tends to darken even more with age and has natural luster. Very difficult to work on due to its durability and interlocking grain. The craftsmanship and condition of this table is comparable to, if not better, than some similar tables kept in museums and top-notch private collections.

المهندسة الفلسطينية أماني الغريب سفيرة فوق العادة في أوروبا

حاورها: محمد كريزم - فلسطين - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "

wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=9961

عرفت في مجتمعها الفلسطيني بالشابة النشيطة والمثابرة التي تعمل طوعاً دون كلل أو ملل في تقديم الخدمات للجمهور، وبلورت شخصيتها المهنية الناجحة في عملها كمهندسة بارعة، وتمايزت بنشاطها في مجال حقوق الشباب والمرأة، وظهرت كفاءتها القيادية في نشاطها السياسي كمتحدثة لبقة ومؤثرة.

هي المهندسة الفلسطينية أماني الغريب والقيادية في الحزب السويدي Feminist Initiatives التي ترشحت عنه لتمثيله في البرلمان الأوروبي، وتكون بذلك حققت طموحاً كبيراً، لتصبح سفيرة فلسطينية فوق العادة في القارة الأوربية.

" وكالة أخبار المرأة " حاورتها وفيما يلي نصه:

* أماني الغريب من تكون؟

ناشطة فلسطينية من قلب مدينة غزة ولدت وتربت وترعرعت فيها، حاولت جاهدة النضال والكفاح من أجل قضايا مؤمنة فيها إيمان تام اهمها حقوق الإنسان وحقوق المرأة تحديداَ وكيفية معالجة تلك الإنتهاكات في ظل الظروف السياسية السائدة، كذلك عملت في شركة خاصة كبيرة وكنت المهندسة الوحيدة التي تدير كافة أقسامها فيما يتعلق بمجال الكمبيوتر، وعملت كمديرة مشاريع في إحدى جامعات غزة حيث كانت إنطلاقتي الحقيقية نحو العمل المجتمعي ونسج علاقات عمل مع جهات دولية التي تكللت بتكليفي كمديرة لبرنامج الصحة الجنسية والإنجابيةhttp://wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=9961 المعمول به في دول لبنان وفلسطين.وزفي وفي عام 2012 سافرت لدولة ايسلاندا للمشاركة في برنامج دراسات الجندر الذي تم تنفيذه بالتعاون مابين وزارة الشؤون الخارجية الايسلندية وجامعة ايسلاندا وقد كنت الطالبة العربية الوحيدة في البرنامج وصادف وجودي هناك حدوث الحرب الأخيرة على قطاع غزة مما دفعني للقيام بالعديد من الأنشطة الداعمة للقضية الفلسطينية والتي تمثلت في عرض لقرار الأمم المتحدة 1325 والذي ينص على حماية النساء المدنيات خلال الحرب وبعدها وعدم تطبيق هذا القرار من ناحية اسرائيل في كافة حروبها ضد شعبنا الفلسطيني ، وقد كان هذا العرض بوزارة الخارجية الايسلندية ذاتها .

* اين أثمرت جهودك المميزة على المستوى الأوروبي في شرح قضية الشعب الفلسطيني والتخفيف من معاناته؟

- يكفيني شرف أن مشاركاتي وحضوري على مستوى فعاليات أوروبية وغير أوروبية رفع اسم فلسطين ، فقد كنت في عام 2013 ضمن أصغر 100 قائد حول العالم تم اختيارهم من خلال مؤسسة امريكية تعني بحقوق المرأة وحقوق الإنسان وقد كنت امثل فلسطين ورفع اسم فلسطين من خلال تتويجي لهذا المؤتمر، خلال المؤتمر كنت العربية الوحيدة من شمال أفريقيا والشرق الأوسط التي قامت بمقابلة ميلنيدا بيل جيتس زوجة رجل الأعمال الشهير بيل جيتس أغنى أغنياء العالم خلال مقابلتها مع 8 قادة شباب من القادة الذين توجوا للحديث عن كيفية دعم أمور وشئون المرأة واستراتيجيات دعمهم ، تم توزيع خلال هذا المؤتمر الضخم الذي حضره 4500 مشارك ، كتيب شمل أحلام القادة الشباب ، وقد كان حلمي أن تنال نسائنا الفلسطينيات ولادة امنة ضمن رعاية طبية وصحيه سليمة حيث انني شرحت كيفية ترك بعض النساء على الحواجز لساعات طويلة اثناء ذهابهن للمشفى سواء لمتابعه الحمل او للولادة مما يؤدي لفقدان الجنين وشرحت وحشية هذا الاجراء وكيفية تأثيره وتهديد حياه الام والطفل جسديا ونفسيا وشرحت ان هذا يجعل جنود الاحتلال اكثر وحشية سواء ضد الشعب الفلطيني وايضا داخل مجتمعهم المدني وذلك لتعودهم على ممارسة هذه الافعال المريعه ضد المدنيين على الحواجز .

في شهر ابريل2013 شاركت في مؤتمر لاناليندا في فرنسا بمدينة مرسيليا تحدثت عن واقع قضايا المرأة الفلسطينية والعربية وشاركت بحضور ورشة عمل البنك الدولي لتدشين تقريرهم لسنه 2013 عن واقع النساء في المنطقة العربية (شمال افريقيا والشرق الأوسط) كان الحضور فقط يتم بدعوة شخصية وخلال الورشة شاركت بالتعليق على ضرورة تغيير بعض الاستراتيجيات المستخدمة لدعم قضايا المرأة وذلك بوجوب النزول للميدان ومقابلة النساء والعاملين بالمجال للتعرف على احتياجات النساء الحقيقية.

في شهر يونيو 2013 شاركت في برنامج دراسات السلام في المدرسة الصيفية العالمية بجامعة اوسلو خلال مشاركتي في هذ البرنامج تحدثت عن القضية الفلسطينية وقابلت بعض الشخصيات السياسية الهامة بالنرويج التي كانت تأتي للنقاش مع مشاركين برنامج دراسات السلام حول قضايا السلام ، تم دعوتي لالقاء محاضرتين بالمنتدي العالمي للطلاب بالمدرسة الصيفية ووصفت بالمحاضرة الاولي سياسات توزيع الهوية في فلسطين وقصة الفلسطينيين مع الهويات الملونة شارحة بذلك حال فلسطين منذ الاحتلال وسياسة الاحتلال بمنح هويات مختلفة لاهل القدس والضفة وغزة وكانت حتى تختلف بالالوان وتبعات اختلاف هذه الهويات من السماح او منع دخول الاراضي وتاثير هذه القضية على حركة المواطنين بغزة والضفة والقدس .

المحاضرة الثانية كانت عن نضال نسائنا الفلسطينيات ومشاركتهن السياسية وسميت المحاضرة بورود من فلسطين اعني بذلك نسائنا.

في اكتوبر 2013 باليوم العالمي للناشطين دعيت من خلال مؤسسة ضخمة سويدية لالقاء خطاب عن تاريخ الحركات النسائية في فلسطين . باستوكهلم عاصمة السويد.

في بداية نوفمبر 2013 دعيت من خلال منتدى الناشطين بمدينة يتبوري بالسويد للحديث عن قضيتنا الفلسطينية وتاريخ النزاع على الارض وقمت بعرض فيلم يشرح معاناة الشعب الفلسطيني وسياسة التهجير منذ بدايتها وحتى هذه اللحظة.

في فبراير شاركت بمؤتمر لمؤسسة اناليندا باستكهلم بالسويد وتحدثت عن انعاكاسات الربيع العربي على المراة في فلسطين وسوريا ومصر.

والقيت كلمة بنفس الموضوع في مقر مجموعة تابعه للامم المتحدة بيتبوري بالسويد.

هذه كانت اخر اعمالي لنصرة القضية ولكن هناك حدث بارز قمت به في 2012 يوم الاعتراف بفلسطين بالامم المتحدة وهو القاء خطاب بايسلاندا بمشاركة وزير الخارجية الايسلندي وقد نوهت لان اليوم وفي متل هذا اليوم تتردد الامم المتحدة بالاعتراف بدول فلسطين وهذا شيء غريب رغم انها وبنفس هذا الشهر ولكن من عام 1946 هي من سحب الاعتراف بدولة فلسطين وتحدثت عن ميراثنا الوطني وكيفية توريثنا لمفاتيح بيوتنا وحلمنا الذي يكبر يوما بعد يوم بعودتنا لديارنا.

وعرفت عن نفسي بأنني ناشطة ولكنني اعيد تعريف نفسي الان لكم كفلسطينية لاجئة هاجر جدي من بلدتنا الأصلية إلى قطاع غزة حاله كحال كل فلسطيني اضطر لترك أرضه مجبرا .

* حديثنا عن تطلعاتك وطموحاتك في الترشح للبرلمان الأوروبي؟ وما هي الدولة التي تمثليها في هذا البرلمان؟

- انا فلسطينية احمل الجواز الفلسطيني أقيم بمملكة النرويج ، مرشحة عن حزب سياسي سويدي اسمه Feminist Initiative بشكل استثنائي ولكن قانوني ونزل اسمي على موقع الترشيح لقائمة المرشحين للبرلمان الأوروبي.

* يعرفك الأوربيين أنك حمامة سلام متجولة في البلدان الأوربية، إذن ما هي رؤيتك للسلام في الشرق الأوسط؟

- السلام الداخلي هو أول خطوات نشر السلام العالمي ، بما انني ناشطة بمجال السلام فانا احمل رسالة سلام من فلسطين لكل العالم ، نحن شعب محب للسلام بشر لدينا مشاعر واحاسيس ببنحب الحياه ونهدف لسلام حقيقي.

- استجابة كبيرة من ناشطين حول العالم وذلك من خلال طرح قضايا المرأة وتأثير الوضع السياسي على الوضع الفلسطيني الاجتماعي والاقتصادي، الاوربيين كتير شعوب رائع او معظمهم هاد لو استثنينا بعض العنصريين، الفكرة الي بتوصلهم انه احنا شعب عدواني، لكن لما تحكي باسلوبهم، تخاطبهم بلغتهم، لا اقصد هون لغة الحوار، اقصد منطقيته، بيستمعوا لالك، وبيتجاوبوا معك، هاد هو اسلوبيـ لانه درست عندهم

وتعلمت منهمىإضافة إلى أنه المهم قناعات الشخص وايمانه بيللي بيحكيه مو بس حكي انشاء ، عرض الوقائع والحقائق بأسلوب مقنع وطبعا من مصادر موثوق منها.

* ما هو الجهد التي قمتي به لصالح المرأة الفلسطينية ويحسب لك بشكل حصري؟

- كوني رشحت و انا أحمل فقط جواز سفر فلسطيني وليس أوروبي فهذا شيء حصري تاريخيا ، فانا فلسطينية مقيمة بالنرويج وتم ترشيحي عن حزب سياسي بالسويد بشكل استثنائي لاول مرة تاريخيا لاكون في قائمة الترشيحات للبرلمان الاوروبي للانتخابات المقبلة في مايو 2014 ولا احمل اي جواز اوروبي هذا رفع اسم فلسطين عاليا تاريخيا لاكون اول مرأة غير اوروبية ترشح للبرلمان الاوروبي من حزب سياسي سويدي اوروبي.

طبعا خلال اسفاري المتكررة تحدثت عن شئون المراة وقضاياها باسهاب كامرأة فلسطينية تريد تغيير الواقع ، طرأت الدور النضالي البارز لها منذ فجر التاريخ وحتى يومنا وماتعرضت له طرحت محاضرات بمنظمة العفو الدولية وبالصليب الاحمر وبجامعة اوسلو وبمؤسسات اوروبية اخري .

الان بدات مشواري كسياسية لذلك الاقرب لي في هذه المراة وصف السياسية التي تهدف لتغيير الكثير من السياسات.

* في حال فوزك بالبرلمان الأوروبي ، ما هي أول خطوة ستقومين بها لصالح بلدك فلسطين؟

- تمثيل اللاجئين بأوروبا وخصوصا بالسويد ونصرة قضاياهم وحل مشاكلهم والمساهمة في تغيير العديد من السياسات التي لا تناصرهم والعمل على ايجاد مشاريع حقيقة لدمجهم بالمجتمعات الاوربية بشكل يحفظ هوياتهم،وحقوق المرأة والمساواة الجندرية كانت ومازالت اجندة اعمل عليها بقوة .

طبعا كفلسطينية سيتم سؤالي عن القضية وبالتالي ساقوم بتوضيح اننا شعب محب للسلام لدينا مشاعر نحب ونفرح ونريد حياه كريمة لاننا شعب محب للحياه.

* ماخلاصة دراستك للجندر ؟ وهل ما يمكن تطبيقه في أوروبا يمكن تحقيقة في الدول العربية؟

- المساواة الجندرية ضرورة واهميه لايمكن الاستغناء عنها وضرورة تمثيل النساء في كافة مناحي الحياه والمحافل الدولية والمحلية بشكل مشرف ومشاركتهم بصنع القرارات والسياسات الخاصة بمجتمعاتهم ، تمثيلهم بالبرلمان والوظائف العليا بالدولة امر هام جدا.

* ماهي الألقاب العالمية التي حققتها أماني غريب؟ وما هو اللقب الذي ترغب بتحقيقه وترى أنه بعيد المنال في الوقت الحاضر؟

- مرشحة للبرلمان الأوروبي ضمن حزب الفيمينسيت بقائمة ترشيحاته – فبراير 2014.

* ماهو الحزب السياسي الذي تنتمين إليه ؟

- Feminist Initiatives ويعني المبادرة النسوية ويهتم بمجال حقوق الإنسان لاسيما المرأة.

* هل تجدين تشجعياً من المجتمع السويدي لبرامجك السياسية والإجتماعية؟

- طبعا ، بشكل كبير خصوصا من الناشطين .

* هل تحدث الإعلام الأوربي عن جهودك السلمية في فض المنازعات الدولية ونشاطك الدؤوب في مجال مناصرة المرأة؟

El domingo 14 de marzo a las 6:00 p.m. Se dieron cita cientos de feligreses en la Av. Nacional s/n, Acuexcomac, Estado de México, para recibir a Mons. Juan Manuel Mancilla Sánchez, Obispo de la Diócesis de Texcoco, quien llegó acompañado por el Pbro. Antelmo Barrios Palma, primer Pastor Propio de esta comunidad. Enseguida, los recibió el Pbro. Adán Cuevas Córdova quien hasta ese día tuvo a cargo a dicha comunidad como parte de su parroquia.

 

En un clima de alegría y acompañados por algunos sacerdotes inició la Celebración Eucarística, presidida por Mons. Juan Manuel, a continuación el padre Enrique Buendía Castro, vicario episcopal, dio lectura al Decreto de Erección de la nueva Cuasi-Parroquia, enseguida se leyó el nombramiento del Cuasi-Párroco Pbro. Antelmo Barrios Palma.

 

Durante la homilía, el Obispo expresó a la comunidad que “una parroquia es una familia, si hay algo que entusiasme y apasione al Obispo, a los sacerdotes para establecer una parroquia es que podemos formar una gran familia, que nos podemos ver más seguido, que nos podemos ayudar, que nos podemos alimentar, que nos podemos unir. Como hermanos compartimos la fe, la esperanza, también nuestras miserias y necesidades. Una parroquia abre su corazón a Cristo en una forma intensa, profunda, porque sabe que sólo Él es su divino maestro”.

 

Posteriormente, el padre Antelmo realizó su profesión de fe, hizo el juramento de fidelidad, y con su mano derecha sobre el Evangeliario, expresa “que Dios me ayude”.

 

En la entrada principal del templo, el Obispo hace entrega de las llaves del mismo; entrega simbólicamente el campanario, el bautisterio, el confesionario, el sagrario y la sede presidencial, finalmente el Obispo invita al Sacerdote a besar el altar. Durante el ofertorio fue revestido con su ornamento blanco.

 

Al finalizar la celebración una persona en representación de la comunidad dio palabras de agradecimiento a Monseñor, a los Presbíteros Antelmo y Adán. Enseguida el nuevo Cuasi-Párroco invitó a toda la comunidad a participar en una convivencia y compartir los sagrados alimentos que fueron bendecidos por el Obispo.

REAL BASILICA DE ATOCHA

www.madridhistorico.com/seccion3_descubremadrid/nivel2_ru...

  

Dirección: Avenida de la Ciudad de Barcelona, 3, c/v Paseo de la Reina Cristina, c/v Calle de Julián Gayarre, 1.

 

Está situada sobre el antiguo convento de dominicos de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, más conocido como el de Nuestra Señora de Atocha, debido a que en su interior se veneraba dicha advocación de la Virgen.

 

El convento fue fundado en 1523 por Fray García de Loaysa (inquisidor general) y Fray Juan Hurtado de Mendoza (confesor de Carlos V) en virtud de un breve de Adrián VI. Se instaló sobre una antigua ermita donde ya se daba culto a la Virgen de Atocha.

 

En 1836, con la desamortización de Mendizábal, el edificio pasó a ser propiedad del Patrimonio Real, siendo destinado el convento a Cuartel de Inválidos y su iglesia, a parroquia castrense. La iglesia, que durante un tiempo albergó también a la parroquia de Nuestra Señora de las Angustias, fue transformada en Basílica en 1863 por el Papa Pío IX. En 1924, Alfonso XIII cedió la propiedad de nuevo a la orden de los Dominicos, y actualmente siguen regentándola junto con un colegio.

 

En cuanto al edificio, a lo largo de su historia ha sufrido numerosos derribos y sucesivas construcciones, por lo que en la actualidad nada queda del primitivo templo. El 14 de agosto de 1652 se quemó la iglesia; en 1726 se desplomó la capilla mayor, y en 1809 los franceses destinaron el edificio a cuartel y quedó arruinado tras la guerra de la independencia, por lo que en época de Fernando VII fue reedificado casi por completo.

 

A finales del siglo XIX, la Basílica volvía a estar muy deteriorada, por lo que en 1890 se convocó un concurso público para su reconstrucción. El proyecto ganador fue realizado por el arquitecto Fernando Arbós y Tremanti, con una propuesta de basílica neobizantina con campanile exento y Panteón de Hombres Ilustres.

 

Las obras comenzaron en 1891, pero diez años después y debido a la falta de recursos económicos se suspendió la construcción, continuando paralizada hasta que en 1924 el conjunto fue cedido a los dominicos, quienes prosiguieron las obras sin seguir el proyecto original de Arbós.

 

En 1936, durante la guerra civil, el edificio fue nuevamente arrasado y no fue hasta 1946 cuando la Dirección General de Regiones Devastadas llevó a cabo su reconstrucción, resultando cinco años después un edificio de trazas neobarrocas.

I saw this couple and it was like a "Lost in Translation" kind of a feeling. For one moment, life paused and I felt like capturing this instant! I like the romance that is going around! Isn't it cute?

Er wordt veel belang gehecht aan de uitspraak van de dokter-tovenaar. Hij werkt met bamboestokken die hij op een bepaalde manier laten ronddraaien. Zo kan hij bvb. aan slachtoffers van een dode, vertellen wie de moord gepleegd heeft. Hij kan ook adviezen geven aan de inwoners in verband met ruzies, ziektes, oogsten van gewassen enz...

Hun mond zit rood van het kauwen van betelnoot. (vermengd met kalkpoeder en een mosterdplantje)

 

The mouth read because of the betelnuts. Many young people chews betel in Papua.

  

The island is part of the Bismarck Archipelago and is often described as having the shape of a musket. The tropical island of New Ireland is long, narrow and mountainous covered by several mountain ranges and dense rain forests. For much of its 360 kilometers in length, its width varies between less than 10 km to 40 km, yet the central mountainous spine is very steep and rugged. The highest peak is Mount Taron in the Hans Meyer Range (2,379 meters). The island lies between two and five degrees south of the Equator.

New Ireland is surrounded by the Bismarck Sea in the southwest and by the Pacific Ocean in the northeast.

A stupendous Naturalistic-style ‘mariposa’ sofa

 

Estimate: PHP 280,000 - 300,000

 

Early 20th century

Ilocos

Narra, cane or solihiya

111 x 207 x 77 cm (43 1/2 x 81 1/2 x 30 in)

 

This is one remarkable ‘Mariposa’ sofa. Popular in the latter part of the 19th century, this is a superb and exemplary piece of furniture. The carver placed particular care and attention to the intricacy and details of all the carvings. Rococo elements are juxtaposed with naturalistic elements to create a tapestry of celebration and bounty. The top frame boasts manually twisted stiles, splat links, arms and arm supports. The triple shield-shaped splats have on its rails and crests scrolls, interlacing ribbon, tobacco flowers and leaves (tobacco has always been associated with the province), and on the corners are roosters next to palay grains. Airy solihiya weaving cover the seat, splats and sides, and the apron below has highly detailed scroll design. The hind legs are squared but the front legs are more elaborate cabriole legs with acanthus leaf hock that terminate in ball-and-claw feet.

 

Lot 215 of the Salcedo Auctions auction on 26 September 2020. Please see salcedoauctions.com for more details.
