We came across this excellent street theater performance in Marseille at 8:30 in the morning. It involved physically squeezing bodies into unexpected urban nooks and crannies, we ran through the streets curiously following the troupe, looking for the next hidden performer, a great adventure and a fantastic new way of looking at the city. More photos to follow.
The production is the concept of Cie W Dorner for more click here

A man with the ability to physically transform himself into one's deepest and most disturbing fears. Inspired by the creations of H.R Giger.
The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.

The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.
Grand Canyon: is one of the most physically & mentally demanding trips at VVS. After a service project for the National Park Service, students descend into the Canyon, covering over 5,000 feet of descent, shouldering packs containing food, clothing and necessities for the next 10 days. Students cover over 50 miles, as well as an additional 25 miles of day hikes. On the final day they ascend over 4,000 feet. In return, students are exposed to some of the most breathtaking scenery in North America, from the rim of the canyon to swimming in the Colorado, to impressive slot canyons and waterfalls.

I feel like I physically melt every time someone is remotely nice to me and I wanted to express that through literal metaphor. I painted myself using a mirror and used quick strokes that add expressiveness, painting on top of that to make the melting effect, with a portrait of myself. I first rendered the whole face out after a light sketch with opaque gouache, and then I left it to dry (with some splotches of wet paint) before spreading the paint around with a hairdryer and long brush strokes. I wanted to limit the palette, so I only used yellows and purples (particularly seen in the hair) as complimentary colors. Layering with gouache is hard past 2-4 layers, so I will take that into consideration when I paint in the future.

From a tube well operated washing machine to weight sensitive food grain separator, from a password protected wardrobe to automatic screen, from a Dual face fan to electricity producing fan are example of few thousands of innovations and inventions of Mihir Kumar Panda.
Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda though bestowed to a popular name as Einstein of Odisha is obliviously treated as Thomas Alva Edison of India.
Dr. Panda's residential house also resembles a museum with scientific innovations of different shapes and sizes stacked in every nook and cranny which proves his scientific involvement in personal life.
Innovator Panda believes that , the best thing a child can do with a toy to break it. he also believes that by Educating child in his/her choice subject/ passion a progressive nation can be built.
The shelf made scientist Dr. Panda believes that Education is a life long process whose scope is far greater than school curriculum. The moulding of models/ innovations done by hand always better than the things heard and the facts incorporated in the books.
With no agricultural background, Dr. Panda has developed unique natural bonsai in his Vijnana Bana Ashram which also shows path for earning just by uprooting and nurturing the plants which are found to be small and thumb in nature.
Dr. Panda's Scientific Endeavour and research is no doubt praise worthy. One cannot but believe his dedicated effort in simple innovation laboratory.
Social service, innovation/ inventions, writing, free technology to students for preparation of science exhibition projects, free technology to common men for their sustainability, preparation of big natural bonsai, technology for entrepreneurs and industrialists for innovative item are few works of Mihir Kumar Panda after his Government service.
. To overcome the difficulties of science and math, explanation in classes, innovator Panda has created few thousands of educational, societal and scientific innovations which helps teachers and students of the country and abroad.
Dr. Panda believes that though inventions/innovation has reached under thousands and thousands deep in the sea and high up in the space. It has reached on moon and mars, but unfortunately the sustainable inventions/innovation has not properly gone to the tiny tots and common people.
Dr. Panda is amazing and wizard of innovations and works with a principle the real scientist is he, who sees the things simply and works high.
Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda's work can be explained in short

The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.
We came across this excellent street theater performance in Marseille at 8:30 in the morning. It involved physically squeezing bodies into unexpected urban nooks and crannies, we ran through the streets curiously following the troupe, looking for the next hidden performer, a great adventure and a fantastic new way of looking at the city. More photos to follow.
The production is the concept of Cie W Dorner for more click here
The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is one of the newer museums on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Physically, it's an impressive structure from outside, on the northeast corner of 15th & Madison next to the Washington Monument.
The museum is basically 7 floors. The ground floor with the gift shop & information with a large atrium. The 3 floors below ground predominantly tell history (chronologically) from the slave trade up to current day. The 3 upper floors address different aspects of culture (music, art, dance, theater, sports, and literature among others).
The photo you are looking at here is from my second visit, which happily coincided with Malcolm X's 96th birthday (19 May 2021). Since I'd been before, I didn't stop by information, but from what I recall of my first visit, they suggest starting with the lower floors and finishing with the upper floors. You'll probably want to block a half day, at least, to take this museum in.
Should you follow the suggestion of history before culture, you'll walk behind the information desk and around a back hallway to take an elevator down to the bottom floor (or stairs around the elevator shaft, should you choose). When you come out, you're greeted by darkness and displays regarding the slave trade in general, and in the different regions of the country, including "highlights" of the era, like Bacon's Rebellion, Denmark Vesey, etc. There is no specific demarcation to let you know you are moving up from one floor to another, but there are ramps (it's not a trick or anything like that). The farther up you go, the more you approach modern day, passing information about famous historical figures (Douglass, Tubman, DuBois, Booker T. Washington) and historic events (emancipation, sit ins, segregation, Jim Crow laws, black nationalism) until finishing with a few exhibits that highlight specific decades (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s).
From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.

I am Christian, a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and probably more I ‘m not aware of now, professionally young and physically old. I’ve been in the Navy, oil field, farmers market, bars, restaurants, hospitals, parts houses. The Lord must have really become frustrated because He finally hit me on the head with the idea of school to become a teacher of children. This was the agenda until I took an art appreciation class. The images that I had seen many times over at this time seemed to reach out with colors and shapes. The professor said I should take more art classes so I did and let myself literally get sucked in to the world of making the shapes and colors that I had seen.
My chosen medium, clay, actually there was no choice. The material seemed to be an extension of my soul. I can reach into and mould it until something appears. When I work techniques don’t separate themselves, one so called technique blends into another depending on the intended form. There is not a thought process that says “well, now I will coil or soft slab”. These words only appear when explaining to another about the process, actually there is no language when a work is started.
My love is sculpture and throwing is second. I work to improve my skill in throwing and actually spend more time throwing. I think that if I could throw as skillfully as I should then I’d probably never throw again.
When I need to work, there is so much I need to know that I usually go to the wheel with the thought of design and glazing. When I start sculpture, I’m more at ease and comfortable especially with the human or animal form. I don’t worry about design and glazing. I rely on the form and like the unglazed texture of the clay.
Anything made to edify, stimulate thought, make a statement is art. Art is all around us architecture, landscaping, clothes cars, furniture etc. The thought that art is exclusive and only the gifted can “create art” is foolish. Art making is a learned skill accessible to anyone.
I’ve been working in clay since1996 and I work best when I work for myself but always are persuaded by demands to work for other reasons. Life always gets in the way. A successful artist doesn’t let life get in the way.
Art was being made through the 40’s.I’m not impressed with modernism and postmodernism. Expressionism and abstract expressionism are always exciting. I don’t consciously model what I do because of influence from any artistic movement. I am taken with the work of Rodin and Van Gough.
Artists are treated with esteem and respect but sometimes as unnecessary.
I like the Museum of Modern Art because they have many of my favorites, most of all Starry Night by Van Gough.

Bramwell physically and emotionally exhausted upon returning from the street walk.
The Salvation Army’s School For Youth Leadership runs a 9-month intensive program for young adults aged 18-28 who seek experience in hands on social work. The school, situated in a rural area of Sydney’s Central Coast provides a residence and learning environment where students live as a family, training to minister to the poor and marginalized.
Near the end of their course Salvation Army’s Edify program brought the students to Sydney for a week of hands on activity.
Labelled STUMP, the Short Term Urban Ministering Program takes the students away from the classroom and into the city. Photographer Mark Tipple embedded himself for the week-long course.
Here I present my take on the Gunderson (or Greenbrier) Maxi iv’s. This is the first MOC of mine that I’ve physically built. Whilst I found this a rewarding experience, it inevitably threw up a few issues. I was very conservative with the spacing between units to try and accommodate R40 track, however I’ve found I really don’t like the spacing and have since redesigned the middle bogies to bring the cars 2 studs closer together. This has also lead to my first experience with ball bearings, which has turned out to be a frustrating experience. As a result, I’m awaiting delivery of some new axels that better fit the bearings. The reference images used for the design were from Kato N scale models. Whilst I think I’ve replicated that design well, I feel the model is lacking a bit of overall detail which I’ll look to add at a later date - I just need to find some better reference material first. That being said, I’m not too happy with the stairs design either, and will look for alternatives. The model itself is big! Predominantly 8 wide but peaking at 9.8 wide with the stairs, and coming in at 180 studs long. Surprisingly it cost around £130 to build which I thought was good - most likely due to the number of elements I could get from the local PAB wall. I went to order parts for the containers (not my design) last night, but that proved cost prohibitive, so I’m just finalising a design of my own which should be cheaper, despite having a few more details (but not sticker friendly).
In the later images I’ve copied the design and modified the well length to serve as a basis for Maxi I cars, but yet to address further elements to represent that design. I also decided to mess around with colour options to try and represent Maersk cars. The lightest colour (1/3) I feel is the closest match, but lacking numerous elements for a sleek design. 2/3 is the one I favour most, whilst I think it’s further from true Maersk colour, when I look at it in isolation it’s the one that’s ’most Maersk’ to me. The darkest (3/3) has the best part pallet in the colour, but I think it’s a shade too far. Originally I’d planned to build a 5 car rake as per the real thing, but at a provisional 244 studs long I might just settle for a 3 car rake.
The cars accommodate containers to the BMR intermodal standard.
Thoughts/feedback welcome.

From there, you can take a break and grab lunch in the cafe -- if it ever opens again -- where they have foods that are staples in the black community -- before continuing to the other half of the museum.
I would suggest taking the escalator up to the top floor and working your way down. On the top floor, you'll find the exhibits for art, music, literature, and theater/television. Going down a floor, you'll find sports and special exhibitions. The fourth floor (well...2nd, I guess) is a hands on workshop and genealogy research center.
Realistically, this museum takes multiple visits to really let everything seep in. Even after two visits, I feel like I barely glossed over everything.
