The Virginia National Guard traces the heritage and traditions of citizen service to the founding of the Jamestown Settlement May 14, 1607, where Capt. John Smith organized a militia to defend the colony. There has not been a day since without a military presence in Virginia to defend freedom at home and overseas.

Raimunda sospecha que su esposo le está siendo infiel al recibir por correo los tirantes de su marido, procedentes de un hotel de... dudosa reputación. Es por eso, que no duda en ponerse en contacto con su mejor amiga la cual la ayuda a idear un plan para descubrirlo... ¡Pero las cosas se complican!
El botones del hotel a donde acudirá Raimunda para encontrar a su esposo infraganti, es idéntico a su esposo.
Pero estos no son los únicos personajes envueltos en esta aventura: un violento y apasionado brasileño, un joven que no puede pronunciar las consonantes, un mayordomo impertinente y más de una docena de estrambóticos personajes terminaran enredándose entre los pasillos, puertas, cuartos y escondites de este hotel para ofrecernos una comedia llena de confusiones y desternillantes situaciones.

Autor: José-María Moreno García. Fotógrafo humanista y documentalista. Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, sino también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

Grabado que representa la ejecución del rey Luis XVI de Francia en la guillotina el 21 de enero de 1793, en la plaza de la Revolución, París . El verdugo muestra su cabeza cortada a la multitud. Grabado de Isidore Stanislas Helman, según Charles Monnet, 1794.
En Chile, 1793 se realizó el Segundo Parlamento de Negrete organizado por el gobernador Ambrosio O'Higgins.
Los guardias nacionales vigilan a Luis por todas partes, incluso durante sus sesiones de lectura en solitario. Los guardias confiscaron los kits de costura de María Antonieta, sospechando que estaba cosiendo mensajes secretos. Aun así, Luis y su familia intentaron vivir lo más normalmente posible. Comían juntos y, aunque se les exigía que hablaran en voz alta y clara en francés, Luis podía dar lecciones de geografía a su hijo, Luis-Carlos, y a menudo se les podía encontrar coloreando mapas juntos. Alrededor del mediodía, la familia podía salir a los jardines, donde lanzaban pelotas o jugaban al volantín, y por las tardes, Luis les leía historias romanas a sus hijos. Pero mientras la familia se asentaba en su nueva vida, un nuevo cuerpo legislativo se reunía en París, con un importante asunto que decidir: ¿qué debía ser del antiguo rey de Francia?
Para mucha gente, la mención de la Revolución Francesa evoca imágenes de nobles ricos llevados a la guillotina. Gracias a innumerables películas, libros y lecciones de historia medio recordadas, muchos se han quedado con la impresión de que la revolución consistió principalmente en cortar cabezas de reyes, reinas, duques y otros aristócratas adinerados.

Belinda y Saymon Díaz
Fotos íntimas de Belinda ¡Que escándalo! Autor La Columnaria Blog
Deja un Comentario
Belinda sigue en medio de la polémica porque ahora salen a la luz unas fotogafías suyas donde está en actitud íntima con un galán, y en una de las imágenes luce un ligero.
La revista TV Notas maneja esta exclusiva y el hombre con quien se le ve en estas imágenes intímas es un representante artístico que ella tiene en República Dominicana de nombre Saymon Díaz.
Se dice que ella tiene una relación a distancia con él desde el 2008 y lo busca siempre que se siente sola, y disfrutan tener relaciones íntimas sin compromiso.
La revista lo califica como un hombre millonario, que presume estas imágenes entre sus amigos y dice Belinda es muy fogosa.
Por lo que se ve en las imágenes gustan de beber champange y hasta jugar con un látigo.

A hand from the clouds (the hand of God) chopping a tree with an axe is a motif on graves for young deceased.
Update: Per Google A.I. this is a "poignant symbol of divine power and an untimely death. In Suriname, this symbol is almost exclusively found on the graves of individuals who passed away younger than 50 yr.s of age. This specific iconography carries several layers of meaning within the Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish traditions of the region", including:
"Divine Intervention: The ... death was an act of God's will. [This hand is] the closest [thing to a] traditional representation [of] the Deity permitted in [iconoclastic] Jewish funerary art.
- Biblical Roots: The symbol draws from biblical metaphors in which humans are likened to trees. It evokes passages such as Matthew 3:10, "the axe is laid at the root of the trees," representing imminent judgment or the end of a life's path.
- Regional Prevalence: This is one of the most common [reliefs] in Surinam's Jewish cemeteries, appearing on nearly half of the 137 carved gravestones recorded in the country."
- I tried Google translate with the use of a Hebrew keyboard online. The (incorrect) result with the letters or otiot תנצבה is "Stand up". But per Google A.I., תנצבה is an acronym which translates to "May his/her soul be bound up in the bond of life", and which "is frequently found on Jewish tombstones worldwide."

These models represent my first foray outside of Games Workshop miniatures. I bought the 2-player Warmachine boxset for the Khador miniatures. Khador appealed to me as I think they epitomise the steampunk element of Warmachine more than the other factions.
I painted the models with a metallic red rather than the traditional matt red, as I felt a warlike nation like Khador would rather forge the metal in its national colours and be done with it than faff around painting it post-production. I achieved it by mixing a pot of bright red with silver to create a base colour, stipling on copper and then washing in red ink. The steel areas were pretty standard, just chainmail washed in black and drybrushed with silver.
You may notice I have based the models as a sandy desert rather than their usual snow. The reasons for this are threefold:
1. I felt that Khador are more likely to be on the attack than defending their own realms.
2. I was also partly inspired by the nation of Ragna from the anime film Origin: Spirits of the Past, who are from a desert environment (I do intend on collecting Circle Orboros as a Hordes force for the same reason)
3. I would have had to buy modelling snow. So no.
I'm pretty proud of this force and look forward to expanding it some time. As always, any comments, constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome.
The exhibition features the artworks from an interdisciplinary and culturally diverse group of architects/artists/designers investigating current and historical dilemmas facing new immigrants and political/religious refugees as well as their influences on local and global culture in everyday life and their complex relationship to artistic and cultural production. Each body of work represents a unique perception according to one’s individual expertise, experience, vision and culture identity.

Baháʼí World Centre is the name given to the spiritual and administrative centre of the Baháʼí Faith, representing sites in or near the cities of Acre and Haifa, Israel. Much of the international governance and coordination of the Baháʼí Faith occurs at the Baháʼí World Centre, including global teaching plans and study and translation of the Baháʼí holy writings. The Universal House of Justice, representing the supreme governing body of the Baháʼí Faith, resides in Haifa. The Baháʼí World Centre is also a major destination for religious tourism, and the current destination for Baháʼí pilgrimage, attracting annually about one million visitors. The location of the Baháʼí World Centre originated in Baháʼu'lláh's banishment and imprisonment to the fortress of Acre in 1868 by Ottoman authorities. Many of the locations at the Baháʼí World Centre, including the terraces and the Shrine of the Báb which constitute the north slope of Mount Carmel, were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2008. History - The location of the administrative centre was a result of a successive number of banishments and imprisonments of Baháʼu'lláh, founder of the Baháʼí Faith. Baháʼu'lláh was banished from Persia by Nasser al-Din Shah in 1853, at which time Baháʼu'lláh went to Baghdad in the Ottoman Empire. Later he was exiled by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, at the behest of the Persian Shah, to territories further away from Iran and finally to Acre in Ottoman Syria in 1868. Baháʼu'lláh lived out the rest of his life in the area and he communicated with his followers throughout the Middle East, Central Asia and India through special couriers, and Acre became the centre of the expanding network of Baháʼí groups. When Baháʼu'lláh's imprisonment was eased, the area also became a centre of Baháʼí pilgrimage as Baháʼís would travel the long distance to see Baháʼu'lláh. The location of the Shrine of the Báb on Mount Carmel was indicated by Baháʼu'lláh to his son ʻAbdu'l-Bahá during a visit to Haifa. Furthermore, the establishing of the administrative centre of the Baháʼí Faith on Mount Carmel was also indicated by Baháʼu'lláh in his Tablet of Carmel, which is considered one of the charter documents of the Baháʼí administration. Baháʼu'lláh died in 1892 near Acre, and his resting place is in Bahji. Following his death, Baháʼu'lláh's son ʻAbdu'l-Bahá was appointed to be the head of his father's faith and the condition of the area as the centre of Baháʼí activity continued. He continued to correspond with Baháʼís all over the world, including now Baháʼís in the West. While he was still officially a prisoner and confined to Acre, ʻAbdu'l-Bahá also organized the transfer of the remains of the Báb from Iran to Palestine. He organized the purchase of land on Mount Carmel that Baháʼu'lláh had instructed should be used to lay the remains of the Báb and organized for the construction of the Shrine of the Báb. This process took another 10 years and was completed in 1909. In 1908, the Young Turks revolution freed all political prisoners in the Ottoman Empire, and ʻAbdu'l-Bahá was freed from imprisonment. Soon after the revolution, he moved to live in Haifa near the Shrine of the Báb, and since then the administrative headquarters of the religion have been in Haifa. During the final years of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's life the increasing levels of correspondence led to the employment of a number of secretaries including some in Western languages and the provision of a Pilgrim House in the area. ʻAbdu'l-Bahá died in 1921, and was buried in a room of the Shrine of the Báb in Haifa. After ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's death, Shoghi Effendi was the head of the religion, and he directed the development of a number of separate projects in the area. He renovated the house of Baháʼu'lláh in Bahji in 1929, and in the 1950s secured legal possession of the lands around the building, creating a number of gardens. He also obtained possession of other sites around Acre related to Baháʼu'lláh's life, including the House of ʻAbbud. Around Haifa, he expanded the Shrine of the Báb by developing its golden-domed superstructure and purchased lands surrounding the Shrine in order to create gardens. Shoghi Effendi had also decided that the buildings housing the institutions of the religion indicated in Baháʼu'lláh's Tablet of Carmel, including the Universal House of Justice, the as yet unestablished governing body of the worldwide Baháʼí community, would be arranged in the shape of an arc surrounded by gardens. The fulcrum of this arc would be the Monument Gardens, which hold the graves of members of the Baháʼí holy family. During his own lifetime he started the construction of one of the buildings comprising the arc, the International Archives building. He also negotiated tax-exempt status for all Baha'i properties. The religion's situation in Israel was clarified in an agreement signed in 1987 by then Vice-Premier and Foreign Minister, Shimon Peres, in which the government formally acknowledged the Baháʼí Faith as a “recognized religious community in Israel,” declared its "friendly relations" with the Baháʼí world community, noted that the "holiest places of the Baháʼí Faith, … are located in Israel", and confirmed "that the Universal House of Justice is the Trustee of the Baháʼí International Community over the Holy Places of the Baháʼí Faith in Israel and over the Baháʼí endowments in Israel". The other buildings of the Arc, the Seat of the Universal House of Justice, the Centre for the Study of the Sacred Texts, and the Seat of the International Teaching Centre, were completed in 1982, 1999 and 2000 respectively. The fifth and yet-to-be-built building, the International Baháʼí library, is planned to be eventually built at the eastern end of the Arc, and is anticipated as a center for "knowledge in all fields", including scientific investigation. The Baháʼí Terraces, or the Hanging Gardens of Haifa, are garden terraces on Mount Carmel in Haifa, and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Israel. Completed in 2001, there are 19 terraces and more than 1,500 steps ascending the mountain. The central terrace has the Shrine of the Báb, one of the main religious figures of the Baháʼí Faith. The architect was Fariborz Sahba from Iran, and the structural engineers were Karban and Co. from Haifa. The terraces are part of a complex of Baháʼí holy places in Haifa, Acre, and western Galilee that were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2008. The gardens rest in the neighborhoods of Wadi Nisnas and Hadar HaCarmel. The terraces represent the first eighteen disciples of the Báb, who were designated "Letters of the Living", although no terraces are connected with particular individuals. Nine concentric circles provide the main geometry of the eighteen terraces. Just as the identification of a circle presupposes a centre, so the terraces have been conceived as generated from the Shrine of the Báb. The eighteen terraces plus the one terrace of the Shrine of the Báb make nineteen terraces total. Nineteen is a significant number within both the Baháʼí and Bábí religions. The gardens have elements of the Persian gardens of Shiraz, Iran, the Nishat Bagh gardens of Jammu and Kashmir, India and English gardens, isolating the site from the noise of the surroundings and connecting the different Baháʼí buildings on Mount Carmel together. Fariborz Sahba began work in 1987 designing the gardens and oversaw construction. The terraces were opened to the public in June 2001. Beginning at its base, the gardens extend almost one kilometre (0.6 miles) up the side of Mount Carmel, covering some 200,000 square metres (2,152,782 square feet) of land. The gardens are linked by a set of stairs flanked by twin streams of running water cascading down the mountainside through the steps and terrace bridges. The irrigation system includes a computer which, based on meteorologic data it receives, controls hundreds of valves to distribute water throughout the gardens by sprinkling and dripping. This is done at night and in the early morning, to avoid wasting water by evaporation. The water that flows alongside the stairs is circulating in a closed system within each terrace, so that little water is wasted. Haifa’s Mayor Amram Mitzna described the gardens as the eighth wonder of the world. "We have been very lucky," he said, "not many cities get a park that is so incredibly beautiful – free of charge."

Ash Wednesday represents the first day of Lent. If you visit any Yaqui village in Northern Mexico or Southern Arizona during the forty days of Lent you will see what it has meant to them. This is their biggest celebration of the year. The Yaquis mark Easter with costumes, masks, paper flowers, and forty days and nights of Lenten observance and dancing. The devout Yaquis adapted the stories that Catholic priests told them and made them their own. DeGrazia captures this celebration in his 1967 collection of forty paintings depicting the pageant of the Yaquis.

The 'orang asli' (aboriginal tribes) of Malaysia are talented in weaving indigenous leaves and plants into decorative items such as headbands, sashes and skirts for traditional rituals and ceremonies. Each tribe have their own weave pattern that is often inspired by their belief system and surrounding environment. On the new 10 sen coin, this heritage is represented by the unique weave pattern of the Mah Meri tribe in Peninsular Malaysia.
To the Israeli government and most of its people, the UN represents an organisation intent on unfairly criticising Israel, whether it’s through accusations of war crimes or deeming settlement building as illegal. To the Palestinian “government” (PLO) and most of its people, the UN single-handedly symbolises the organisation that created the state of Israel, which caused so many Palestinian refugees and fatalities.
But to so many children throughout Gaza and the West Bank, the UN symbolises hope. The United Nations has helped fund hundreds of schools and projects across the occupied territories, including a school I visited in Balata refugee camp, where this flag is flying high.
