To celebrate its 550th anniversary Magdalen College, Oxford has commissioned the Turner Prize-winning artist Mark Wallinger to create his first-ever dedicated permanent artwork.
Two years in development, the sculpture Y was unveiled on St Mary Magdalen Day 2008. William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester founded Magdalen College in 1458. It is one of the best-known colleges in the University of Oxford and is known internationally for its high academic standing.
The College has many fine buildings. The Cloisters, Chapel, Founder’s Tower and Hall were built in the Gothic style in the later part of the 15th century. The Great Tower, a pictorial symbol of Oxford, is famous for the May Day event when the College choir sings an ancient hymn at dawn. The Georgian New Buildings, which blend into the College Gardens and grounds, were completed in 1733. The buildings sit amid a hundred acres of lawns, woodlands and riverside walks, which are publicly accessible, and there is a deer herd that has been in existence for over 300 years.
Addison’s Walk, named after the great essayist of the 18th century and father of English journalism, is about a mile in length and goes by the River Cherwell around a great water meadow. Beyond the end of Addison’s Walk is a tranquil field known as Bat Willow Meadow, which is where the new commission is sited. Maps of the grounds of Magdalen College are available from the Porters’ Lodge or they can be downloaded from the Magdalen website.
Over the past twenty years Mark Wallinger has established an international reputation with major solo exhibitions in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Val-de-Marne, Frankfurt, Aarau, Basel, Milan, New York and Chicago.
His work encompasses a wide range of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation, and it takes art history, mythology, religion, politics, national identity and popular culture as its subject matter. Wallinger studied at Chelsea School of Art in 2001, and in Goldsmiths' College. He exhibited in Young British Artists II at the Saatchi Collection in 1993 and at the Royal Academy of Art's Sensation exhibition in 1997.
His Time and relative dimensions in space derived from a residency and was shown at Oxford University Museum of Natural History in 2001 and in the same year he represented Britain in the 49th Venice Biennale. The artist is best known for Ecce Homo, a life-size sculpture of Jesus Christ which inaugurated the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 1999, and State Britain, his 2007 re-creation at Tate Britain of Brian Haw's protest display outside parliament. He was a Turner Prize nominee in 1995 and won the award in 2007, and he is one of five internationally acclaimed artists who have been commissioned to produce proposals for the Ebbsfleet Landmark Project, which will be one of the biggest artworks in the United Kingdom.
I'll never forget that day at the lake. We'd been resting after a stroll when Mongo pulled out the ring.
"Will you marry me?"
"Oh yes!"
I didn't hesitate. I really did love Mongo. And besides, if I said no he might have ripped my head off.
Me and my Arlyn. Yes I am now engaged. October 12, 2008 - Arlyn's birthday too.

I have finally decided to post these photos. I made them for a proposal for--well obviously for this set. Unfortunately, I was not aware that Star Trek is a restricted IP and that Lego would not allow the proposal to go public because of course, what would be the point?
There's no point in keeping the photos and description to myself though, especially with the work that went into them. Description below:
'Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Lego starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no minifigure has gone before.'
Thrown through a spatial anomaly to a universe of modular building bricks, the crew of Starfleet's famous flagship find themselves sitting on your desk! With around 1800 parts, this UCS scaled Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation is lovingly detailed and mounts on an elegant display stand complete with dedication plaque. But the Enterprise-D is hardly the first ship to bear her name. Display the original Constitution class Enterprise from the 1960s TV classic alongside and at the same scale.
And of course, it isn't a Galaxy class starship without a separating saucer. With the secondary display stand--mounted with a Starfleet badge and the nanofigures of the main bridge crews of both the original series and The Next Generation--you can show off both the saucer and the stardrive sections at once! The nanofigures aren't just for display; act out some of your favorite scenes or make up your own story when you remove the saucer plates to access the main bridge.
Features:
-Prepare for saucer separation: When facing a highly dangerous threat, Captain Picard decides to split the saucer off into its own ship. With the secondary stand, you can mount the saucer and display it right alongside the stardrive section. Just swap the saucer for the battle bridge attachment and you suddenly have two ships!
-Control the action yourself: Remove the panel on the saucer section and access the main bridge. With the detailed nanofigures, the bridge crew is ready for anything. Place Data at Ops, Worf at Tactical, and Picard in his Captain's chair and 'Engage' at warp 6!
-Time for a temporal anomaly: Display the Constitution class Enterprise from the original series alongside its successor. Built to the same scale and detailed with a deflector array, impulse engines, and shuttle bay doors; you can command this highly swooshable starship on its five year mission of exploration and adventure.
-Assemble the senior staff: The nanofigures inlcude The Next Generation's Captain Picard, Commander Riker, Lt. Commander La Forge, Lt. Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, Dr. Crusher, Counselor Troi, and the original series' Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. "Bones" McCoy, Chief Engineer Scotty, Lieutenant Uhura, Lieutenant Sulu, and Ensign Chekov.
Built for play or display, these two starships are sure to be popular with all ages. Whether you are a young fan of great Lego sets, or a nostalgic collector of Star Trek memorabilia, please support this project and help us to bring the knowledge of the galaxy to everyone.

In Rome in 2017, I was busy taking photos of the Trevi Fountain, when I heard the crowd start cheering, & one of my travel companions brought my attention to this man proposing to his girlfriend. Because I was busy with photos, I only caught the very end but it was still a lovely experience.

Proposal for a logo for our LTC, the Lowlands Lego Model Train Club. It is based on the old Nederlandse Spoorwegen logo from 1946-1968, before the current logo was released. I adapted it to add two studs on top (we are a LEGO train club in the end) and a stylized version of the lego train wheel.

Mahmood OD: Hamas Responds to US Ceasefire Proposal (Publ. 12 June 2024)
The details of the Hamas response for the proposal of the US for a ceasefire after the UN resolution passed calling for a ceasefire in Gaza have been published.
These include a couple of important details and a very significant update and demand from Hamas, and I'm going to be telling you all about it in this video.
Their comments on this ceasefire proposal came as follows:
On Day One of the First Phase, temporary ceasefire comes into effect and Israeli forces withdraw from populated areas.
On Day Three, Israeli forces begin to completely withdraw from the Rafah Crossing, the Philadelphi Corridor and the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which dissects the Gaza Strip from East to West in the Middle area.
By Day Seven Israel's withdrawal from the specified areas shall be COMPLETED.
By the end of the First Phase, on Day 42, Israeli forces shall completely withdraw from Gaza Strip, leaving NO soldiers within the Palestinian territory. They continued:
Regarding prisoner exchanges Hamas said it would release 33 Israeli captives, dead or alive, in the First Phase. The captives would be released in stages, with three people released three days apart.
If Israel doesn't commit to a complete withdrawal from Gaza by Day Seven, Hamas will halt the captives release.
Hamas rejects any Israeli conditions OR vetos on which Palestinian prisoners would be released in exchange for the Israeli captives - and they ended as follows:
The First Phase shall end with a DECLARATION of restoring sustainable calm, which MEANS a complete cessation of ALL military operations, AND Hamas also asked that Russia, China and Türkiye be added as guarantors.
The MAIN update here, the main demand, is the final one: Asking for Russia, China and Türkiye to be added as guarantors.
Why is Hamas asking for this, now? It's because they simply DO NOT trust the Biden Administration.
Blinken is seen more and more as a person who is NOT a mediator, but a part of the problem.
CLEARLY, Hamas is not getting the reassurance they want from the US; because BEFORE this was submitted, they asked that the US provides a COMPLETE and SOLID approval, that they will apply PRESSURE on Israel to COMMIT to the ceasefire and all of its details.
This is also a MOVE pushing for more involvement when it comes to Russia, China and Türkiye in the Palestinian and Israeli case, which is something very, very positive.
These countries have been secluded previously, primarily Russia after the quartet, after Hamas won the elections in 2006.
Slowly they started to be pushed further away by the United States and the United Kingdom, primarily.
Hamas, by requesting this - CLEARLY, there was a coordination between them and the countries mentioned - and they're looking for more involvement because they're simply not getting the assurances that they want from the United States Administration, who are seen now as part of the problem and not a side that can be built upon when it comes to the actual ceasefire.
We've had a response from Blinken himself and from Israel.
Blinken said they could have accepted it, but we can WORK on their amendments.
The Israeli delegation had a certain statement and Benjamin Netanyahu had a different statement.
The delegation that's negotiating said: These are things that can be WORKED with - The negotiating delegation.
Now, this negotiating delegation - they previously accepted ceasefires that Benjamin Netanyahu did NOT accept, by the way.
So they clearly have more leniency.
Benjamin Netanyahu said: «Hamas are rejecting the proposal.»
The question is, how will they [Israel] officially respond?
If Benjamin Netanyahu is going to have his way by saying «No, we're not going to go ahead with these proposals from Hamas»; he will continue the genocide, he will continue the war.
However, the fact that Blinken and the negotiating delegation from Israel said that these are things that can be WORKED upon is a signal that they can DEFINITELY reach some sort of a solution WITH involvement from Russia, from China and from Türkiye as well, CLEARLY signalling that we are looking for a new shape in the Middle East, in the geopolitical situation in the region.
Now, Blinken most likely referring to this demand of adding Russia, China and Türkiye; he said «Hamas cannot dictate the future of the of the region» - as IF Antony Blinken, coming from thousands of miles away, has any right whatsoever for the region.
And that statement on its own signals how much of a power position Hamas has and how well they've established themselves throughout this genocide: Surviving, Fighting, Continuing and Increasing their attacks on the Israeli forces in Gaza.
Now the war is over Besdarc finally asked for the hand of Elon's daughter. So he took her to a romantic place on the tundra and asked her to marry him.
(This vignette was actually only about trying to build a pine tree, but I thought it needed some minifigs)
In the current turmoil the Viceroy’s daughter Esmeralda would be a very good match for any power wishing to increase their influence over Terraversa. Cornelio is a young nobleman from Eslandola and has been sent to Terraversa to win the hand of Esmeralda.
His tireless courting of the young lady has borne fruit and when he now proposes to her she happily accepts. Things are looking good for both Cornelio and Eslandola!

Persona shoot with Nicole & Donald/Surprise proposal!
Donald and I discussed this idea for months and everything turned out perfectly. Nicole had no idea and I was there to capture it all. Masked as a Persona shoot, Donald handed me the ring and I placed it among her items. When they returned from a short walk she saw the bright red box and her face lit up! Donald dropped to one knee and popped the question. So happy for them and I'm so glad I could be a part of this wonderful experience!

I would like you to take me out on a (non-romantic) date. Where we go is entirely up to you, but please tell me if I need to put shoes on before we go. I'm usually barefoot.
When we go is also pretty much up to you. I'm in the UK, so my clock is eight hours ahead of SLT/PDT - so please bear that in mind when making time suggestions. Times don't have to be exact, but obviously I need a rough idea so I can make sure I don't miss you! If you want to IM me out of the blue and see if I'm free, I'm totally cool with that too. Whatever works.
I'm not expecting you to entertain me for hours - I just thought this would be a good way of exploring SL, meeting new people and getting to know others better. If you let me take our picture there, I'd be very grateful (but you are under no obligation to allow that, at all).
So, show me what you've got up your sleeve? - pretty places, quirky places, silly places, whatever you like. Please IM me, or drop me a message on Flickr or Plurk or wherever - my username on pretty much every platform is Kitti Wytchwood.
