Blogged in The Woodwork: Why I YUI
This is a slide from 2002 of a number of PHP frameworks. My list was actually twice as long but I just picked some of the most popular of them.
How many of them are around today, and why are they around today?
There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you the truth
Now there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose
When I've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
And if you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end
God give me the answer to my life
God give me the answer to my dreams
God give me the answer to my prayers
God give me the answer to my being

So, I’m in the American Wing of the MET today, and I’m going through the visible storage areas, as
we’re all looking for something
Me, it so happens, was searching for some grandfather clocks I knew were there. So I find them, and then, over my shoulder, Yikes!, there she is, ...the ghost of Madame X, leaning on me and breathing heavy. She’s upset… She used to be upstairs, in the limelight! Gee, in New York, there was a time when
all the women wanted to be MadameX
She cries. She can’t stand it here, under glass, in this nether storage kingdom. She needs to be out, where the world can admire her. She’s recognizes me,…she knows I’m one of her countless admirers…but she only had airs for me, up there,..then, when things were swell. She’s had it with the MET now, though , and wants to go back to Paris…If only I could help her out of the glass, she whispers in my ear, …softly now, slowly,…she would take me to Paris with her… WHOA!!!, Where have I heard that before. This very past spring, I got taken in by
near the main entrance of the MET at the head of the stairs…I helped her down and out, with the same promise of a Parisian interlude and when we got out
Marie-Denise ditches me in the park - see note
( they caught up with her at JFK, and she’s back on the wall, but I barely say hello anymore). Hey! I shout, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice!...and I bolted. Got to head of the stairs, but Madame X was angry now, and quickly flew after me and gave me good swift kick in the you know where… luckily, I landed out in the courtyard safe. A little wounded pride, but at least I wasn’t out standing in the rain soaked park, as I was last spring, with a broken heart..
So, the last week of 52 weeks in B&W demonstrates that
lead to dreams...and ghost stories.
Went for a lonely wander tonight, i remembered hearing on the radio that there looking at closing the wheel down.
About:
The controversial Wheel of Perth, which has rotated on the city foreshore since January 2009, will shut down.
Perth Lord Mayor Lisa Scaffidi announced the attraction, which has polarised opinion since being installed, will stop spinning on May 2.
"Our much-loved big Ferris wheel will actually be packing up and shipped out", she told radio 6PR.
Mrs Scaffidi said the tourist attraction's popularity - or lack thereof - was not the reason for the wheel's shutdown.
"And contrary to what a lot of people might be thinking, that it hasn't been busy enough, that is not the reason."
She said the wheel's operators were seeking a longer contract than the City of Perth was able to give them due to the foreshore redevelopment project starting immediately after the Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting at the end of next year.
"We have been in discussions with the operators for the last three weeks on a more permanent site for the wheel," she said.
"They require an area where it could be installed using concrete pylons. It would be a different wheel to the one that is there now but of a similar size.
"So while the discussions are still continuing, the mobile wheel as we now know it will be removed."
Mrs Scaffidi said the mobile wheel was almost twice the cost of a fixed wheel, but the operators said that it was not being used at its full capacity.
The company wanted to bring a slightly smaller, permanent wheel to Perth but had made it clear that there wasn't a preferred location other than around the Barrack Street Jetty.
Mrs Scaffidi defended the $10 million cost of the ferris wheel, which took advantage of a $1 a year peppercorn rental agreement for the wheel's operators for the prime location it occupies next to the Bell Tower.
"We were not giving away the chance to make money, we were doing the best we could for the Barrack Jetty businesspeople", Mrs Scaffidi said.
"They have had a tough time because of the distance to the city."
Mrs Scaffidi said staff operating the Wheel of Perth had been notified that they would be made redundant.

I met a man of many colors
And a tear was upon his cheek.
"Old man" I ask, "why do you cry
With such an agonizing weep?"
"Oh child" this man he says to me,
"My heart is broken in so many ways
That I believe this day to end
Will find me out stretched and far within
The encompassing earth of sin."
I sat down beside this man
And asked him "do not cry.
For what you think is so bad
That life will pass you by?"
He looks at me with such sad eyes.
And weeps ever more.
He holds his hands out to me
And alas, I do see
The anguish of his heart.
For his hands were different colors
One is red and the other white,
A leg he unclothed for me
Was as yellow as could be
And his other leg as black as night.
"I am the father of the world.
In case you do not know.
And my children have grown apart
And fight among themselves.
For when they do not get along
My arms and legs and hands and feet
Destroys the very life of me.
My hands of red and white
Will not feed this face of night.
And my legs of black and yellow,
Will not stand beneath this body
And support my heart and soul.
For they argue far too much,
And now I have grown old.
So here I sit in this haven
Of unwelcomeness.
And when this day ends,
A father I will not be.
For my children of many nations
Have forgotten how to accompany me.

Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived,
their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
obscured as it was by sh!t clouds.
Here they played out their peaceful lives,
innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below.
To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.
Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.
They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses
, but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows. You see,
without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.
Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Jump back from behind them and shoot them in the head
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead
the dance of the dead,
In time, Strangefolk found their way into the high reaches of the mountain,
and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable Sincerity
and Beauty. By chance, they stumbled upon the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest.
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
and soon they began to mine the mountain,
its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,
holes began to appear,
bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of them up.
For the first time,
the Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep.
And then came a sound. Distant first,
it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space.
There were no screams.
There was no time.
The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
There was only fire.
And then, nothing.

L’action syndicale de plus en plus unitaire en France, depuis le 1er mai 2009, est plus marquée au niveau du personnel de l’enseignement. L’école française de tous les cycles et niveaux est menacée de privatisation, de même que la remise en cause de la laïcité. La suppression de 16000 postes de travail pour la rentrée 2010, ainsi que le réforme en général où le lycée est visé d’un chamboulement, mobilisent les travailleurs. Le climat dans les établissements est aussi peu stable.

enriqueviolanevado.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/las-propuestas...
Se ha publicado en la página del Distrito Único Andaluz las propuestas de exámenes de cada una de las materias que integran las Pruebas de Acceso del curso 2013-2014, como se puede comprobar en el siguiente enlace:
www.juntadeandalucia.es/innovacioncienciayempresa/sguitg_...
Respecto a la Historia del Arte, en un primer momento aparecieron sólo tres propuestas (los exámenes de Junio y Septiembre y una prueba denominada «Examen de Andalucía». Posteriormente se añadieron otras dos pruebas denominadas «Reserva A» y «Reserva B». En total, cinco propuestas.
No obstante, en la normativa universitaria para el curso 2013-2014 se señala que el número de pruebas preparadas debe ascender a seis, con sus correspondientes opciones A y B, como se viene realizando desde tiempo inmemorial. El responsable de la Ponencia de Historia del Arte de la Universidad de Sevilla, Don Jesús Palomero Páramo. Nos aseguró que, efectivamente, la mencionada Ponencia preparó la preceptiva media docena de exámenes. El problema se encuentra en que los responsables de la publicación se han dejado una en el tintero.
La deficiente publicación de los exámenes (esto es, por entregas y de forma incompleta) también ha caracterizado al resto (o cuando menos a la mayor parte) del resto de las asignaturas de la selectividad andaluza, que se dice pronto. Por lo demás, en los exámenes de reserva no se ha indicado cuáles son los de la convocatoria de Junio y cuáles los de la convocatoria de Septiembre, como sí se hizo en la publicación de las propuestas del año anterior. Cuando menos se han identificado los exámenes de Junio y de Septiembre, práctica que se inició en el mencionado curso 2012-2013.
Ignoramos si alguno de estos exámenes de reserva llegó (o llegaron) a emplearse. En Junio, en el tribunal de Écija, nadie dejó la historia del arte para el final y en Septiembre, en Sevilla, no se nos informó a los profesores asistentes sobre cuáles exámenes de coincidencia se convocaban. Decididamente, la gestión de exámenes del curso 2013-2014 deja mucho que desear.
Las pruebas siguen el modelo de examen iniciado en el curso anterior: Arte Prehistórico, Arte Antiguo y Arte Medieval para la opción «A» y Arte Moderno y Arte Contemporáneo para la opción «B». Como se suponía, los comentarios y las preguntas no se concentran en unos estilos determinados, sino que ofrecen un panorama de cada una de los bloques de temario.
Así, a estructura más lógica que cabría encontrar en la opción «A» sería la siguiente:
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Prehistórico o de Arte Egipcio.
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Clásico (Griego y Romano).
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Paleocristiano-Bizantino o de Arte Hispano-Musulmán.
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Románico o de Arte Gótico.
Y para la opción «B» el reparto más razonable sería éste:
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Renacentista.
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Barroco.
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Neoclásico y Goya.
- Una pregunta o una imagen de Arte Contemporáneo (Arte del siglo XIX y Arte del siglo XX).
Se comprueba que en esta tanda de exámenes no se han seguido estas previsiones. La opción «A» concentra sus enunciados en el arte clásico y en el arte medieval cristiano y la opción «B» prescinde del Neoclásico y Goya.
Otro rasgo distintivo de esta convocatoria es la falta de novedades: todas las preguntas e imágenes han aparecido con anterioridad, circunstancia que parece lógica, no sólo ante la avalancha de exámenes precedentes, sino también, porque carece de justificación innovar cuando la selectividad se encamina hacia su final.
Como en otras convocatorias se encuentran preguntas que se repiten en dos pruebas, en concreto la escultura romana, la arquitectura nazarí, la escultura barroca italiana y la pintura romántica. Esta última cuestión apareció en el examen de junio y en el de septiembre. A mí, estas reiteraciones me resultan muy enojosas y no creo que beneficien a nadie. Por lo pronto, alguien que se haya presentado a los dos convocatorias, y ha optado por la opción «B», ha tenido que enfrentarse en ambas ocasiones a la misma pregunta. Añadamos que el alumnado de Septiembre no se presenta en las mismas condiciones que el de Junio (suele contar con mucho menos tiempo para prepararse los exámenes) y sí se le puede prestar la mínima ayuda consistente en que deseche lo aparecido en Junio, pues mejor. Por último las seis propuestas deben abordar todo el temario, pues al concentrarse en el más de lo mismo, hace pensar que existen contenidos importantes y otros de puro relleno.
La opción «B» del examen de Junio resulta prácticamente intacta a la opción homónima de uno de los exámenes de reserva del curso pasado. Por lo demás, no encontramos ninguna otras semejanza que autorice la tesis que asegura que los exámenes no escogidos de una convocatoria son reutilizados por la siguiente.
Antes de pasar a reproducir y comentar cada una de las propuestas, señalar tres rasgos que caracterizan a este juego de pruebas y que suponen pronunciadas rupturas respecto a los contenidos de las convocatorias que le precedieron
- La relevancia que en este juego de exámenes alcanza el arte bizantino, pues aparece en dos de las tres propuestas. Esta abundancia resulta sorprendente por partida doble, pues el arte del Imperio de Oriente no había sido escogido en las Pruebas de la Selectividad Andaluza desde el curso 2009-2010.
- La importancia concedida en la opción «B» al siglo XIX, especialmente a la pintura del Romanticismo. De hecho, ésta dobla sus apariciones en la selectividad andaluza. Añadamos que se culmina una tendencia iniciada en el juego de exámenes del curso 2010-2011. Hasta entonces alumnos y profesores consideraban que estos contenidos nunca aparecerían en los exámenes, ya fuera como pregunta o como imagen a comentar. Bueno será recordar, una vez más, la reunión de profesores de la materia de 2012 en la que alguien preguntó a Jesús Palomero Páramo si es que la reproducción de La Libertad guiando al pueblo anunciaba que esta parte del siglo XIX se incorporaba al repertorio de los «elegibles». La respuesta del ponente no pudo ser más ajustada: «Salvo el mudéjar y el ibérico puede entrar cualquier cosa.»
- La ausencia del arte prehistórico en las propuestas publicadas. De nuevo asistimos al eclipse (o colapso) de una tendencia, pues la pintura rupestre venía adquiriendo una presencia cada vez más relevante. Tal vez este arte apareciera en la propuesta inédita. Señalemos que en el juego de exámenes del curso 2012-2013 llegó a ser escogido en dos de las pruebas,
- Algo similar se puede decir del arte egipcio: de una presencia abundante en pruebas anteriores sólo aparece en una de las propuestas de este curso y como imagen a comentar.
- La falta de Moisés de Miguel Ángel, obra habitual (casi obligada) en la selectividad andaluza desde el 2008. Señalemos que todo el mundo ignora a qué se debe esta preferencia. En el juego de propuestas del año pasado no se incluyó en ninguno de los dos exámenes, pero fue escogido en dos pruebas de reserva.

No hemos acabado con este extraño 2014 y ya tenemos a varios de los grandes preparando su alineación de cara a la próxima temporada. A Radiohead, probablemente Metallica y quién sabe si Tool va a sumarse don Steven Wilson, la figura más impactante en el mundo del Rock Progresivo, figura que no solo se alimenta por su labor estrictamente como músico sino que se engrandece por su empeño en volver a poner en vigencia a muchos de los clásicos que el prog nos regaló en los setenta.
Y claro, una vez nos ha metido en el zurrón a un clásico como The Power and the Glory de los infravalorados Gentle Giant y ha mezclado discos como Pale Communion o Distant Satellites de Anathema, Steven Wilson nos pide que hagamos sitio a su cuarto disco en solitario, disco que anuncia para inicios de 2015 y al cual, por supuesto, estaremos muy atentos en esta casa.
Recording of the follow up album to 'The Raven that Refused To Sing' starts this month (with the same band line-up).
— Steven Wilson (@StevenWilsonHQ) agosto 2, 2014
El prolífico músico londinense ya había anunciado en mayo de este año que estaba trabajando en su nuevo disco, pero fue ayer, a través de las Redes Sociales que confirmaba la entrada al estudio de grabación este mismo mes de agosto, confirmando el mismo line up que ya le ayudó con el impresionante The Raven That Refused to Sing, anuncios publicados quizás por la alegría de leer que su última obra era considerada la novena mejor en la historia del Rock Progresivo por parte de la famosa publicación Prog Rock Mag.
En su último mensaje en twitter Steven Wilson nos invitaba a permanecer atentos pues en breve nos daría más detalles al respecto de, desde ya, uno de los discos más esperados de cara al año que viene. Y lo estaremos, y os informaremos convenientemente.

At the end of the demonstration, in Nation, 2 protestors were suddenly chased by 2 policemen (don't know why) and subsequently arrested. The whole sequence (7 shots) starts here.
Here, the 2nd demonstrator is being "neutralized" by the police, right in front of photographers (both pros and amateurs).
Please read the explanation at the beginning of the set and view the pictures in chronological order.

Took a day trip up to Crested Butte Friday to shoot the wildflowers with Robin and Nicole. I was probably 1 week late for this. Still plenty of wildflowers but all the big Lupine had already peaked. Still plenty of Columbine, buttercups and flax. Fought the harsh sun all day. Completely cloudless day - not the best for shooting! North of the town had the best areas. So beautiful up there. The mountains were so green and lush. Hard to believe snow will be back on them soon! Found some nice back roads with huge Aspen groves (already know where I'm going this fall!!) Got to see Emerald Lake where Robin and Nicole were lucky enough to grab a campsite right on the lake. Best seat in town!
So, I big Thank You to Robin and Nicole. Thanks for showing me around. Thanks for the bug spray. Thanks for lunch. But most of all, thanks for not making me go over that death defying, don't look down road one last time to your campsite!!

Las dos principales consolas de la actual generación, Xbox One y PlayStation 4, se presentaron inicialmente durante 2013 con el negro como color principal. Algunos detalles también estuvieron disponibles desde el primer momento con otras tonalidades, pero el cuerpo principal de ambos cacharros se ha mantenido siempre igual. Hasta ahora.
Tanto PS4 como Xbox One tendrán sus ediciones blancas durante este año. La de Sony lo hará bajo una edición especial junto con Destiny y su blanco glaciar; por su parte, la de Microsoft en blanco aún no es oficial, aunque ya ha aparecido en algunas tiendas online: sí, Xbox One terminará llegando en blanco, y casi coincidiendo en tiempo con su compañera y contrincante de batallas.
En el caso de la Xbox One blanca os sonará porque surgió como una edición especial para empleados de Microsoft. Ahora se abriría al público y, como la PS4, también con una edición especial junto con Sunset Overdrive, una exclusividad para las de Microsoft que se especula con que vaya a lanzarse al mercado a finales de octubre. Lo lógico es que el bundle de la Xbox One blanca y Sunset Overdrive también empiece a venderse en esas fechas, claro.
Jugando al ajedrez: negras o blancas, tú elijes
Suele ser muy habitual que las consolas de escritorio se presenten primero en color negro con las salvedades de Nintendo, cuya Wii empezó vendiéndose sólo en blanco, y la Wii U en ambos colores. Tanto Microsoft como Sony han tenido affaires tanto con negro como con blanco, dependiendo del modelo con mayor o menor importancia de uno u otro.
Evidentemente el color de una videoconsola no afecta en absoluto a su rendimiento, pero también es cierto que el blanco suele ser un color muy requerido por los usuarios de tecnología, generalmente por una mera cuestión estética. En el pasado también hemos visto, incluso, ediciones especiales mucho más llamativas que los planos negro o blanco, y seguramente éstas también terminen llegando al mercado tarde o temprano.

Mayfield station was built alongside Piccadilly in 1910 to handle the ever increasing number of trains using the station. A short viaduct diverts away from the Piccadilly line into the terminus at Mayfield which was mainly used by suburban services to the south such as Buxton, Crewe and Macclesfield.
In the late 50s, it was used as an overspill during electrification and modernisation work at Piccadilly Station. When work was complete all trains used Piccadilly and Mayfield closed for good.
It was converted into a parcels depot in 1970 when Royal Mail constructed a sorting office on St Andrews street on the far side of Piccadilly. An overhead conveyor bridge connected the two buildings. The parcels depot was closed in 1986; Mayfield has stood silent ever since.
A just for fun session but the post-processing wasn't fun anymore. On the left side was a picture on the wall, on the right was a window. First, I replaced both by gradient filled polygons. Although the edited part was matching the original colours, I decided to replace the whole background. The original tone was a chocolate brown colour but for the conversion, a not so dark tone might have been better, I think. The b&w conversion was made with the channel mixer (60% red, 25% blue, 15% green) in Photoshop.
Unfortunately I just had a single Speedlite 550 EX, so it was pretty tricky to get the highlights in her eyes and a natural looking light from above. I held the camera in portrait orientation, the flash with a bouncer was turned on approx. 60° towards the celing, so some light went still straight on her eyes and created the highlights while most of the light came as an indirect lighting from the celing. Sometimes the basics in physics and maths can be quite helpful :-)
Eine nur-so-zum-Spaß-Aufnahme, aber die Nachbearbeitiung war dann alles andere als lustig. Auf der linken Seite hing ein Foto an der Wand, rechts war ein Fenster. Zuerst habe ich beide durch Vielecke ersetzt, die mit einem Farbverlauf gefüllt wurden. Obwohl ich die Farben in den eingefügten Flachen so hinbekommen hatte wie im Rest der Aufnahme, entschied ich mich dann trotzdem den ganzen Hintergrund zu ersetzen. Im Originalbild ist die Farbe der Wand ein Schokoladenbraun, aber ich denke für die s/w-Umwandlung wäre ein hellerer Ton besser gewesen. Die s/w-Umwandlung erfolgte in Photoshop über den Kanalmixer ( (60% rot, 25% blau, 15% grün)
Leider hatte ich nur einen Speedlite 550 EX, so war es ziemlich schwierig Highlights in die Augen zu setzen und noch ein natürlich wirkendes Lich von oben zu bekommen. So hielt ich die Kamera hochkant und drehte den Blitz mit einem Diffusor etwa 60° auf die Decke, so ging immer noch etwas Licht auf ihre Augen und sorgte für den Glanz während das meiste Licht als indirektes Licht von der Decke reflektiert wurde. Manchmal sind die Grundlagen der Physik und Mathematik eben doch ganz hilfreich.

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is native to the Arctic Ocean and its surrounding seas. It is the world's largest carnivore species found on land. It's also the largest bear, together with the omnivore Kodiak bear which is approximately the same size. An adult male weighs around 400–680 kg (880–1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size.
Although it is closely related to the brown bear, it has evolved to occupy a narrow ecological niche, with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures, for moving across snow, ice, and open water, and for hunting the seals which make up most of its diet. Although most polar bears are born on land, it spends most of its time at sea, hence its name meaning "maritime bear", and can hunt consistently only from sea ice, spending much of the year on the frozen sea.
The polar bear is classified as a vulnerable species, with 5 of the 19 polar bear subpopulations in decline. For decades, unrestricted hunting raised international concern for the future of the species; populations have rebounded after controls and quotas began to take effect. For thousands of years, the polar bear has been a key figure in the material, spiritual, and cultural life of Arctic indigenous peoples, and the hunting of polar bears remains important in their cultures.
Global warming is now listed as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food.

... " 4.
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
~ from Mary Oliver's "Sometimes" - found in "Red Bird".
40+ years ago I lost touch with my Best Friend in the entire world. Both being military wives we'd made numerous moves across country - both of our fathers had passed away and our mothers each had new married names ... so conventional searching methods were fruitless. About a month ago I was thrilled to finally find my friend - and especially so to find that she was less than two hours away from where I live!
After several weeks of daily writing/chats we finally met again last weekend - and it was if not a single day had passed between us. :-) We've written an article together about our experience and whether or not we have success in publication ... it was fun and rewarding to collaborate with my friend. Rest assured - we will NEVER lose touch again! :-)

El pardillo común (Carduelis cannabina) es una pequeña especie de ave paseriforme de la familia de los fringílidos (Fringillidae).
El ave procrea en Europa, oeste de Asia, norte de África. Es parcialmente residente, pero muchos pájaros del este y del norte migran más al sur o se mudan a las costas.
Tierras abiertas con densos matorrales favorecen la cría. Construye sus nidos en una mata, poniendo 4 a 7 huevos.
Puede volar en grandes bandadas fuera de la estación de procreación, a veces mezclada con otros fringílidos, tales como el pardillo piquigualdo (Carduelis flavirostris), en costas y ciénagas salinas. Se alimenta de semillas.
Es un pájaro delgado con una cola larga. Las partes externas son pardas, el cogote es algo blancuzco y el pico es gris. El macho en verano tiene la nuca gris, parches rojos en cabeza y pecho rojo.
Las hembras y los jóvenes no tienen el rojo y debajo tienen blanco, con el pecho muy lustroso. El canto tiene trinos rápidos y píos.
A veces suele encontrárselos centenares de millas dentro del mar.
Su nombre científico hace referencia su afición a las semillas de cáñamo.
Conservación
El pardillo común está en la Lista roja IUCN Redlisted en riesgo, en listada en el Reino Unido Biodiversity Action Plan como de prioridad. Las poblaciones británicas declinan, atribuido al incremento del uso de herbicidas, para abatir matorrales agresivos.
An ivory head of Santo Domingo de Guzman
ESTIMATE: PHP 550,000 - 600,000
18th century
Manila
Ivory, wood, glass eyes, polychrome
18 x 11 x 13 cm (7 x 4 1/4 x 5 in)
Provenance:
From the heirs of Dr. José P. Bantug
Separately carved ivory heads were intended to be attached to a sculpted saint’s body, which could take several forms: de tallado, a fully carved and finely detailed wooden body painted in organic polychrome to create a complete sculpture; de gozne or mannequin-type wooden body with articulated limbs; or a bastidor-type structure consisting of a half-length carved wooden torso with a wooden slat framework below, functioning like a petticoat and also fitted with articulated limbs. The latter two forms were designed for de vestir sculptures, meant to be dressed in real, often elaborately embroidered garments. Once completed, these santo images were installed in church altar niches or used as processional figures. Affluent families likewise commissioned santo images for private devotion within their homes.
This ivory head represents Santo Domingo de Guzmán. It features an elongated, narrow face with softly rounded yet prominent cheeks and a refined jawline. The almond-shaped eyes are slightly wide and contemplative, retaining their original, well-integrated glass elements. Heavy lids rest beneath high-arched eyebrows, enhancing the introspective expression. The nose is slender and elongated, characteristic of Baroque devotional sculpture. The beard is deeply undercut and stylized in controlled, layered curls, while the small mouth with gently fleshy lips conveys a calm, inward-looking demeanor. The overall aesthetic is light and refined. A circular cavity beneath the head confirms that it was designed to be mounted onto a wooden body. Both its construction and stylistic characteristics point to early 18th-century (1700–1740) production in Manila workshops, where highly skilled Chinese artisans (Sangleys) collaborated with indigenous Filipino carvers. During the early to mid-1700s, sculptors increasingly emphasized subtle naturalism, evident here in the slightly parted lips – revealing carved teeth when viewed at an angle – and in the delicately indicated Adam’s apple (laryngeal prominence). This ivory head represents a superb example of Manila workshops at their technical peak, during a period when the colonial settlement was recognized as a global center of religious art.
Possibly due to pecuniary considerations or the unavailability of ivory of sufficient size, the uppermost portion of the head, including the finely carved tonsure, was fashioned separately from wood and surmounted onto the ivory. Based on strict classical proportions, the head would have originally belonged to a sculpture measuring approximately 36 to 42 inches in height.
Santo Domingo de Guzman or Saint Dominic (1170-1221) was a Castilian Catholic priest and founder of the Dominican Order. He and his order are traditionally credited with spreading and popularizing the rosary. The mark on the ivory forehead indicates the former presence of a star appliqué, one of the saint’s principal attributes, symbolizing the light of holiness and divine wisdom.
This ivory head has remained in the possession of the Bantug family, passed down through successive generations from their distinguished collection, beginning with the patriarch Dr. José P. Bantug (1884–1964), physician, public health educator, and author.

Veronica persica (Poiret)
( = Veronica buxbaumii Tenore, Veronica tournefortii Gmelin, Veronica hospita Mertens et Koch.)
Veronica comune.
Forma biologica: T scap (Terofite scapose. Piante annue con asse fiorale allungato, spesso privo di foglie)
Descrizione: Pianta annua, erbacea infestante, pelosa, con fusti prostrati spesso radicanti; altezza 5÷50 cm.
Le foglie semplici, da ellittiche ad ovali con margine fortemente dentato, le basali sono opposte, le cauline sono alterne.
I fiori nascono all’ascella delle foglie, sono portati da lunghi peduncoli ,hanno corolle azzurre, con fauce giallognola. I fiori rimangono chiusi nelle giornate nuvolose con poca luce.
I frutti sono capsule compresse biloculari cuoriformi, con nervbi sposrgenti e talora peli ghiandolari; contengono da 4 a 8 semi per lobo.
Antesi: Gennaio÷Dicembre
Tipo corologico: W÷Asiat. divenuta Subcosmop.
Distribuzione in Italia: Presente in tutto il territorio
Habitat: Comune infestante dei luoghi erbosi, pascoli, orti, incolti, colture sarchiate; da 0 a 1.800 m.
Etimologia: Il nome del genere, fissato nel XVIII secolo da Linneo, già adottato in Inghilterra (1527) e in Francia (1545), dal nome dell’italiana Santa Veronica (1445-1497). Alcune fonti ritengono invece che il nome derivi da Betonica per traslitterazione da V a B, nome che appartiene ad un genere della famiglia delle Labiate, altri vedono una radice in "verus" ed "unicus",o in una fantasiosa unione fra"vires" latino e "nike" greco, ipotizzando “forze vittoriose”.
Ciò che appare improbabile è che il nome del genere in questione, abbia a che fare con la Veronica che, per pietà, asciugò con un panno il volto di Cristo sulla via del Calvario, la figura della “santa” Veronica, che appare nella sesta stazione della Via Crucis, non è presente nei quattro Vangeli. Popolare nelle sacre rappresentazioni alla fine del Medio Evo, potrebbe derivare il nome dalla storpiatura di "vera ikona",la "vera immagine".
Il panno, detto “ sudario della Veronica” fu conservato a Roma in San Pietro dal secolo VIII e fu oggetto di culto fino alla Controriforma. Nel 1527 col sacco di Roma di Carlo V., sparì, fu ritrovato solo nel XVII secolo, inserito in un pilastro della volta della Basilica vaticana, con l’immagine molto sbiadita.
Alla santa, molto stimata alla fine del Medio Evo, è legato il nome di Santa Veronica da Binasco (1445-1497), Papa Leone X ne approvò il culto nel 1517.
Il nome specifico fa riferimento al luogo di origine della pianta: la Persia .
Proprietà: Ha proprietà toniche ed espettoranti.
Snow falls on a desolated part of El Alto.
El Alto is the sister city of La Paz, right next to it but above, in the altiplano. While La Paz expands downwards along the valley, with the richest population leaving in the lowest parts, El Alto is growing further from it, peopled by poor immigrants from the highlands.

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.

New paint software!!! Incredible stuff for $29.99 US dollars. It is head over heal better than Corel painter--I mean significantly better! If you cannot see this in full size, I uploaded this to my website so you can see the incredible textures you can create with this software: www.stantonphotostudios.com/p602592670/h19453a4#h19453a4. This is a photo that I traced... On the picture at my website I have updated it a bit further
If you have access to shopping from amazon.com, here is the link to this software: www.amazon.com/Smith-Micro-Software-Inc-ARDHBX2/dp/B001AE...
On this picture the only textured are of interest is the center of the Calla lily where the pollen is. So if you can zoom in, go for that area. Also, this software allows you to make the clone colors metallic--which I did here for the center and some of the white. For $30, this is a fascinating piece of software if you like to paint. It has gazillions of features, many significantly better than Corel or other painter software.
Have a great day/night!
