The Liberation Monument ("Russian monument")
(Further pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Officially, one can find various names: (Russian) Liberation Monument, Russian War Memorial and Monument of the Red Army. The Viennese call the towering monument at the southern end of the Black Mountain course (Schwarzenbergplatz) usually disparaging "Russian monument (Russendenkmal)".
The monument commemorating the 18,000 in the liberation of Vienna fallen soldiers of the Red Army was designed by Major Intazarin, the sculptures were created by Lieutenant Jakoviev. The overall direction of the yet in April 1945 ordered and as first monument building after the war completed structure had major Ing. Mikhail Scheinfeld. In the construction were temporarily 400 workers involved, 18 tons of bronze and 300 cubic meters of marble were used. The monument was on 19 August 1945 with the assistance of Karl Renner, Leopold Figl and Theodor Körner unveiled on then so designated Stalin Square.
On a in total 20 m high, marble-clad base, the lower part in the form of a five-pointed red star, decorated with flags and guard badges, stands the 12 m tall figure of a Red Army soldier. The soldier is wearing a gold helmet and the famous Russian submachine gun with rotary magazine. With his left hand he has the flag with the right hand he holds a round shield with the Soviet coat of arms. In the background arises a broad, eight meter high balustrade, at its end respectively one group of two fighting men is situated, a prime example of the style of socialist realism, which gradually has become an art-historical rarity.
One of the inscriptions in Russian only in the early 80s have been translated into German and is:
"Eternal glory to the heroes of the Red Army, killed in action against the German-fascist invaders for the freedom and independence of the peoples of Europe (Mikhalkov)".
Until 1956, there were also graves of Soviet soldiers in the area, and a Soviet tank stood before the monument.
The monument is in the custody of the City of Vienna. As is generally known, Austria is according to the detailed provisions of Article 19 of the State Treaty of 15 May 1955 committed war graves and war memorials of the Allied Powers on Austrian soil "to respect, to protect and to preserve".
Between 1945 and 1956 stood in front of the fountain on the former "Stalin Square" a Russian tank, which is now in the Museum of Military History.

Sometimes leads the memory to the bad experiences which have been made by Austrian people with the occupation forces - particularly the Soviet - in the ten years of Allied occupation to open resentment against monuments such as the "Russian monument". Nevertheless - the greater the distance from the war and post-war period is, the more one had to give account about the fact how much innocent blood just the peoples of the former Soviet Union have sacrificed in the fight against Hitler's rule, and how little the Austrian people to its own liberation has contributed. Such thoughts have got to come to one's mind when one takes some time to decipher the Cyrillic letters of gold on a "Russian monument" - whether on that at Vienna Schwarzenberg Square or somewhere out in the vast realms of Lower Austria, where up to the Waldviertel (part of Lower Austria) little Soviet military cemeteries exist.
A survey by the Gallup Institute, published in the "standard" on 11th February 1992 shows that 71% of Viennes people do know the monument. A clear majority (59 %) is for the preservation of the monument. Only 9% of the 1,000 respondents agreed with the opinion that the monument should be eliminated as a remnant of Stalinism. So, have the Austrians made peace with the contemporary history?
Hochstrahlbrunnen
Before the liberation monument arises the to the occasion of the completion of the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline on 24th October 1873 in the presence of the emperor put into operation Hochstrahlbrunnen (high jet fountain), which should have been standing according to the original plans in front of the Votive Church, then opposite the New Town Hall. The builder of the aqueduct and the fountain, Anton Gabrielli, was a friend of astronomy. Accordingly, symbolizes the respective number of the jets of water the days of the year, the months, the days of the month, the days of the week and the hours of the day.

Anne Frank was a Jew born in Germany in 1929. Following the Nazi Party coming to power in 1933 there arose a strong antisemitic movement across Germany resulted in over 300,000 Jews fleeing the country.
Many of the Jews went to Amsterdam where they built new lifes, factories, homes and adapted to Dutch life.
The Nazi Germany swept across Europe resulting in the Second World War. With the German occupation of most of Northern Europe, came their antisemitic feelings and resentment spread too and many of the Jews who fled Germany in 1933 found themselves being persecuted for a second time by the Nazi.
Anne Frank and her family sought refuge in an Amsterdam building and remained hidden in a small room for two years before eventually being captured by the Nazi. Anne Frank was transported to a Concentration Camp where in 1944 she eventually died.
During the time spent in hiding in Amsterdam, Ane Frank kept a diary which was later published as a book.

但願人長久 is a very ancient Chinese poem. Written by 蘇轼 (Su Shi, 1037-1101).
In modern times, it has been sung as a song, made very popular by 王菲 (Faye Wong).
明月幾時有, 把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕, 今夕是何年
我欲乘風歸去
唯恐琼樓玉宇, 高處不勝寒
起舞弄清影, 何似在人間
轉朱閣, 低綺戶, 照無眠
不應有恨, 何事偏向別時圓
人有悲歡離合, 月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全, 但願人長久, 千里共嬋娟
Literal translation:
when do the moon grow bright; raise a toast to heaven
which calender of gods is this; what year is tonight
i wish to hitch the wind and return
only fearing palaces, high places aren't warm
dancing to my shadow, what a life it is
passed the door, under the window, shined on my sleeplessness
resentment grows from no answer, what are better than not known
there are joy and there are gloom, there are phases even for the moon
this no perfection any can reach, may people live long and prosper, as birds fly a thousand miles
- Wishing We Last Forever (但願人長久), by Faye Wong 王菲
The Pershing County Courthouse in Lovelock, Nevada is a Classical Revival building built in 1920-21. The courthouse's plan is hexagonal with a circular dome over the central circular courtroom. The building was designed by Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps, who had previously designed six other Nevada courthouses. DeLongchamps was involved in the design of a new courthouse for Humboldt County, where the old courthouse had burned. As a result of resentment over assessments for the replacement in Winnemucca, the new Pershing County was created from part of Humboldt County and its seat established in Lovelock. DeLongchamps, as Supervising Architect for the State of Nevada, undertook the new Lovelock courthouse.
The courthouse features a shallow Ionic portico on a raised basement backed by a plain rectangular mass. Behind this is the hexagonal main body of the courthouse, built with curving walls. A shallow dome, reminiscent of Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia Library, crowns the central courtroom. The primary building materials are brick with stone trim and terra cotta detailing. Construction cost amounted to $99,138.68.

FEARS, PROBLEMS and PRAYER
Swamy Mahadevan
The most admirable charters of Sai Baba is "Why do you fear, when I am here!" This itself is an answer to us for the success of our life. It is universal Phenomenon that a success cannot be achieved without overcoming troubles. The art of facing trouble and converting them in to success is easy to all Sai devotees and methodology is clearly explained in Sri Sai Satsaritram. This world has numerous problems and freely distributed gift to us according to our materialistic ambitions. If your ambitions are totally controlled by `Maya' then your struggle in the life is unending. The so called modern needs of life, such as prestigious profession, overflowing pay and perks, luxurious shelter, beautiful wife, handsome husband, genius children, reliable relations, confidential friends etc, Do you think these are the things that will provide you real pleasures in your life? Be honest in your judgment with practical current situations.
If you are very sincere in your judgment, the answer will be a big `no'. Your neighbor in a rented house, earning meager salary in a private commercial establishment, children studying in government school is happier than you. Your countless problems on taxes, falling profits, inability to meet business target, ever increasing household and business expenditures, disturbed sleepless nights, misunderstanding with wife, careless children. etc. etc. is a partial list. Despite with all these odds, if you are peaceful and happy that is because of your faith on Sri Sai Baba and leading life as per His teachings.
Baba declared that he had come to give blessings to people, temporal and spiritual wealth, and that He draws them under various pretexts. In this world, material aims and objects cannot be ignored and man cannot be blamed if worldly prosperity is one of the main motives of their devotion to God. This fact has been recognized not merely by Saibaba, but by Lord Krishna Himself.
Chaturvidha Bhajante Mam
Janah sucrutino Arjuna
Aartho Jijnasuh Artharthi
Jnani cha bharatarshabha.
This means, `Four sorts of men are drawn to Me. They are all blessed. They are a) the distressed, b) those seeking knowledge, c) those wanting worldly objects and d) the man of perfect wisdom. The distressed people are the largest number in the world and it is not surprising that they were the earliest to approach Baba. Persons are indifferent to God and Saints, so long as they are well off. But once distress besets them, they feel helpless and seek the aid of a Higher Power. When distress enters, all fancied obstacles of inability to understand, doubt and carping fly and leave the man with a ready receptive heart and make him rush to the one who he believes – and his distress makes him believe- to be gifted with power to redress. Distress rouses hope and faith and these work wonder of turning a skeptic into a believer. This has proved thousands of times and it is true all times.
Baba's message to His distressed devotees "Cast off your anxiety, your sufferings have come to an end. However, oppressed and troubled one may be, as soon as he steps in the Masjid, he is on the pathway to happiness" (Sri Sai Satsaritram Ch. xiii).
Hence Sai Baba is our savior and protector,- why fear, when He is always with us.
PRAYER
Prayer is the greatest power available to the individual and the benefits of prayer power are astonishing. To discover amazing power of prayer, the following are ten rules outlined by Norman Vincent Peale:
1. Set aside a few minutes every day. Do not say anything, Simply practice thinking about God. This will make your mind spiritually receptive.
2. Then pray orally, using simple, natural words. Tell God anything that is on your mind. Do not think you must use stereotyped pious phrases. Talk to God in your own language, He understands it.
3. Pray as you go about the business of the day, on the subway, or bus or at your desk. Utilize minute prayers by closing your eyes to shut out the world and concentrating briefly on God's presence. The more you do this every day the nearer you will feel God's presence.
4. Do not always ask when you pray, but instead affirm that God's blessings are being given, and spend most of your prayers giving thanks.
5. Pray with the belief that sincere prayers can reach out and surround your loved ones with God's love and protection.
6. Never use negative thoughts in prayer. Only positive thoughts get result.
7. Always express willingness to accept God's will. Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what God gives you. It may be better than what you ask for.
8. Practice the attitude of putting everything in God's hand. Ask for the ability to do your best and to leave the results confidently to God.
9. Pray for people you do not like or who have mistreated you. Resentment is blockade number one of spiritual power.
10. Make a list of people for whom to pray. The more you pray for the other People, especially those not connected with you, the more prayer results will come back to you.
Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal (Our Lady Cathedral) - construction began in 1352. (though a a number of churches have existed at this site since the 800's)
This cathedral is notable for a number of reasons- it has the tallest spire in "Benelux". From the 1450's to the 1650's it hosted a number of the most influential composers of their time, including particularly Johannes Ockeghem, Jacob Obtrecht, and John Bull.
Though the interior was plundered twice (during the Iconoclastic Fury of 1566, and during the French Revolution). Still, the cathedral is home to a number of paintings of Peter Paul Rubens, who made his home in Antwerp.
And it rings the most sublime of bells. By day, an amazing sound from on high, an ethereal singing above the afternoon bustle. By evening, the carillon echoes off the buildings of the empty Grote Markt and the small surrounding streets-. Music resonating from all sides- at times, a high tinkling and at others, a low sonorous gong.
Antwerp/Antwerpen/Anvers
Belgium/Belgie/Belgique
March 9, 2011
Antwerp is a most cosmopolitan city. There seems to be a certain indescribable ennui throughout much of Belgium- but not in Antwerp. There is a causal sophistication here. Unlike Bruges, which is stuck in time, and Brussels which seems to have lost its identity in its role on the international stage, Antwerp is vibrating through another golden age.
The area has been settled at least since the Roman era, but really rose to prominence in the 1500’s after the Zwin River silted up and Bruges’ economy collapsed. If Bruges was an incredibly prosperous port whose realm of trade stretched throughout medieval Europe and the Levant, Antwerp was a port of intercontinental scale- one of the first such ports in the world. As part of the Spanish Empire, it brought in goods from as far as the Americas and Asia. Some sources say that in the early 1500’s, Antwerp saw up to 40 percent of global trade, and was one of the largest cities in Europe.
This, of course, is where the city’s cosmopolitanism originated. Merchants from across Europe set up shop in Antwerp, and the spirit of tolerance inherent in most port cities attracted a large population of orthodox Jews. And, as always, wealth attracted the arts, including some of the most prominent painters and musicians of the Northern Renaissance.
Despite this boom period, there was a great underlying tension rising. The Low Countries became swept up by the Protestant Reformation and by a growing resentment of Spanish rule. Violence erupted in 1566, with the Iconoclastic Fury, in which Protestants ransacked towns and churches, destroying Catholic icons. A reason why many Medieval churches in Belgium have interiors adorned in the style of the Renaissance and the Baroque is that so many of the items made before 1566 were lost. The fiercely Catholic Spanish came down hard, and thus began the Eighty Years’ War which resulted in the independence of the Netherlands.
As a city at the heart of the Dutch Revolt, Antwerp suffered mightily. In November of 1576, Spanish troops sacked the city, plundering property and killing 6,000 residents - an event which became known the “Spanish Fury”. In 1585, Spain took full control of Antwerp and expelled the Protestants to the north. The population was reduced by half, and Amsterdam became the new center of international trade.
After this, the city fell into a long period of decline and was revived only in the early 19th century, when Napoleon invested in upgrading the long-neglected port (which the British attempted to capture in a disastrous campaign). In the 1890’s, Antwerp hosted a World’s Fair, and in 1920, the Olympics. The city was heavily damaged by German bombs in WW2, but today is on the rise once again- today ranking among the top 20 of busiest ports in the world- certainly larger than the port of New York. Standing on the bank of the River Scheldt, one can see shipping facilities stretching to beyond the horizon.
And once again, Antwerp is a cosmopolitan place. There is a diverse immigrant community, the arts have returned, and the city is taking a seat among the most prominent fashion centers of the world. 80 percent of the world’s rough diamonds pass through its diamond markets (unfortunately though, this includes many blood diamonds).
In short, there is a lot of action here. By day, the streets bustle with a certain vibrancy and lust for life. By night, bars and restaurants host a sophisticated conviviality. It feels like a new city.
It’s interesting how history works though. Walking at dusk through the Grote Markt, with its magnificent Golden Age houses of trade, under the sublime carillon of the Cathedral, you realize that, though the faces and much of the cityscape have changed, it is, in essence, the same city it was half a millennium ago.
But you cannot safely say that while I will be away, you will not consider sadly
How you helped me to stray
And you will not reach me I am resenting a position that's past resentment and now
I can't consider, and now there is this distance, so...
Today the idea I had originally had fell through again so I decided to play around with focus and took this shot on the porch. I love getting one thing in focus and then blurring the rest of the image with the lens.
I have been editing senior photos for hours so I just threw today's photo in b/w. I am so done editing photos agh!

the students of Jadavpur Universtty (jU) has turned into a larger movement in support of gender justrce and campus democracy The protests started when a girl student from JU lodged a complaint of sexual harassment with the university authorities. JU does not have an elected GSCASH and the university set up an enquiry committee to !ock into the allegation. However, two members of the .
enquiry committee hac! been pressurizing the complainant to withdraw the complaint. The students then rightly demanded removal of these committee members and constituting of a new enquiry to en~,ure a free and fair probe. A peaceful protest sit-in continued for 6 .
days. The students continued the sit-in as the EC meeting was held on the 16:hof September. On the night of 161h, when the students refused to end the protest till the VC assures them of constituting an impartial committee. the JU authorities resorted to Police action to disburse the peaceful protest gathering. On16:nnight. West Bengal Police, the RAF and Trinamool Congress goons entered the campus and beat up the students mercilessly.

White different progressive organisations have expressed their solidarity with the ongoing movement in JU, yesterday the ABVP too Thanks to the discredited TMC and CPI (M}. the BJP is today sensing an.
communicated their support with the ongoing protest. opening in West Bengal. The ABVP, before claiming to be with the protestors, must come clean on BJP/RSS's position on gender justice and campus democracy. Finance minister Arun Jartely recently claimed that small incidents like the 16 December rape .
bring a bad ·name to the country and cause a·loss of millions of dollars. RSS supremo Mohan Bhagvat claims that rape happens only in 'India', not in Bharat and one can avoid rape by being in the 'laxman rekha'. The ABVP has never taken any position on the rape accused BJP Cabinet Minister Nihal Chand, who still is at the helm of affairs. The ABVP's national meet .
has decided to form vigilante groups in all major camp·us to "keep a watch on Muslim youths who try to lure Hindu women to pursue their agenda of love jihad.H With such ridiculous position on questions of gender justice, the ABVP's claim of solidarity with the ongoing movement is only a comic relief. ABVP/BJP's track record on the question of campus democracy is pathetic. We have seen. that the BJP go~ernment tries to u~police force to not allow any protest by JNU students. Lathi-charge on protestors outs1de the Israel embassy is a case in point. The JNUSU was not allowed to protest outside the Gujarat Bhavan a few m~nths. back. We have not yet forgotten the murder of Prof. Sabbarwal in Ujjan by ABVP activists. Recently, the Ujjain Unrvers1ty VC was beaten up by ABVP g-oons for demanding support to the flood-effected students and people in Kashmir. Few years back the ABVP ransacked the History department in OU and beat up the HoD for supporting the teaching a text written by Hamanuian. .
The ongoing movement ~s about fighting the patriarchal-sexist common sense established by the ruling classes. It is against the practice ~o si!ent any attempt to challenge the status-quo by using police force and goondas of the ruling party. This is a fight for right to drssent. right to prolest and all progressive students must stand by the students of Kolkata in this d.ifficult battle.We appeal to all progr.essive students to join the protest .demo on the 25lh of September in Jantar Mantar a.t 4:00 pm, called under a c-ommon banner named "Campaign in solidarity with the students of Jadavpur University:Oethi Chapter". We also appeal to a'll to stand by the struggf.e waged by the students in HPU, where police has cracked down heavily on students agitating against the fee hike. We are sure that in the days to come. the student's movement will surge ahead, challenging the ruling class by building a .

The Sky Mirror was located in a public park in the centre of Brighton. Valued at £1.3m / $2m / €1.5 - it required 24 hour security, and was caged at night. There were also unique health and safety issues. This required that the public be kept at least a couple of focal lengths distance away from the curved mirror, a restriction which caused resentment among some. The mirror was also the focus of a demonstration.
These images are snapshots of results of a Fabrica / Brighton Festival Project volunteer's Party Game.
Participants were invited to create sculptures (over a very short period of time) based on - or inspired by - the works of Anish Kapoor.
The materials provided include foil, foam block, mirrors, spice, wheat flour, tape, glacé cherries, cocktail sticks, sticky tape...
"...that in the world's finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, of all the blood they've shed..."
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Karamazov Brothers

You may view my other images of Petunias, from our garden "here"
Petunia is genus of 20 species of flowering plants of South American origin. The popular flower of the same name derived its epithet from the French, which took the word petun, meaning "tobacco," from a Tupi–Guarani language. An annual, most of the varieties seen in gardens are hybrids (P. × atkinsiana, also known as P. × hybrida). The Mayan and Incas believed that petunias have the power to chase away (with their odor) the underworld monsters and spirits. Their flower-beds were bunched together for magical drinks. According to the folklore, Petunias will thrive where there is positive energy and will not grow in places where there is negativity. When given as a gift, Petunias typically have two meanings. They could represent being comfortable with someone, or "your company suits me". Conversely, they could also represent anger and resentment. Petunia is a genus in the family Solanaceae, subfamily Petunioideae. Well known members of Solanaceae in other subfamilies include tobacco (Nicotianoideae), and the cape gooseberry, tomato, potato, deadly nightshades and chili pepper (Solanoideae). Some botanists place the plants of the genus Calibrachoa in the genus Petunia, but this is not accepted by others. Petchoa is a hybrid genus derived from crossing Calibrachoa and Petunia. Petunias are generally insect pollinated, with the exception of P. exserta, which is a rare, red-flowered, hummingbird-pollinated species. Most petunias are diploid with 14 chromosomes and are interfertile with other petunia species. The tubular flowers are favoured by some Lepidoptera species, including the Hummingbird hawk moth. The flowers are eaten by the larvae of the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea and the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni. Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates. They need at least five hours of sunlight every day. They grow well in low humidity, moist soil. Young plants can be grown from seeds. Watering once a week should be sufficient in most regions. Hanging baskets and other containers need more frequent watering. Maximum growth occurs in late spring. Applying fertilizer monthly or weekly, depending on the variety, will help the plant grow quickly. Petunias can be cultivated in hanging baskets. In horticulture many terms are used to denote different types of cultivated petunias. These include Grandiflora, Multiflora, Wave (Spreading), Supertunia, Cascadia, and Surfinia.

Danburite is a calcium borosilicate crystal, it’s name is derived from it’s original discovery in Danbury, Connecticut, USA. Danburite crystals are orthorhombic and prismatic, with linear striations running parallel to the length of the crystal. Crystals are generally four-sided, and their terminations are usually chisel-shaped. Most often, they are colourless or white, but some specimens are wine-yellow or pale pink. The most abundant Danburite deposits are in Mexico, but crystals are also found in Russia, Madagascar, Bolivia, Burma and Japan.
Danburite is said to soothes the emotional body, bringing in a frequency of comfort and angelic rescue. It may help one to let go grief, intense fear and anxiety, resentment or anger.
Physically Danburite’s energies are considered to help bring a calm, optimistic outlook to those who are ill.

Ghrishneshwar Temple is a very revered temple, situated in the state of Maharashtra. It lies very near to the Buddhist caves of Ellora, only half a kilometer away, and serves as the abode of one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India dedicated to Lord Shiva. Even the Ajanta Caves and Dulatabad town of Maharashtra are situated nearby. The temple, with exquisitely sculpted walls, was built under the patronage of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar, one of the rulers of the erstwhile state of Indore.
Grishneshwar Temple, also known as Ghushmeshwar, has a very interesting legend attached to it. It is said that there was once a very religious woman, known as Kusuma, who used to worship Lord Shiva on a daily basis. She used to immerse His Shivalingam in a tank, as a part of her everyday prayer. Her husband had a second wife, who got jealous of the devotion of Kusuma and her resultant respect in the society. In a fit of rage and resentment, she murdered Kusuma's son.
Kusuma became extremely depressed when she came to know that her son had been killed. However, she continued worshipping the Lord. It is said that when she immersed the lingam into the tank, after her the death of her son, he miraculously came back to life again. The legend further goes that at that time, Lord Shiva appeared before Kusuma as well as the villagers. It is said that on Kusuma's request, Lord Shiva manifested Himself at the very site, in the form of the Jyotirlinga Ghusmeshwar. From then onwards, the temple is highly revered by people and attracts devotees from far and wide.

The growing interconnectedness of everyone and everything is transforming our world into an unprecedented techno-social environment. The boundaries between atmosphere and politics are being suspended; already, tiny ruptures can cause cascade-like repercussions – think of cyber-attacks or stock market crashes, right-wing resentment or hashtag-based protest. Such ambient revolts are increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI) – involving human interaction but seemingly beyond human oversight. Set against this backdrop, the conference poses the questions: What are the techno-social logics of both regressive and repressive tendencies? What are emancipatory movements up against? What potential do micro-political acts have in day-to-day life? What regulations of automated systems at the macro level will enable democracy to emerge in the age of AI? The Berliner Gazette conference will explore these questions in the context of performances, lectures and workshops.

Returning from Germany’s eastern front in 1918, Menne Spiegel is decorated with the Iron Cross. Twenty-five years later, living as a popular horse merchant in Westphalia, he’s branded with a different insignia: the Star of David. On the eve of a mass deportation of Jews, Spiegel seeks out his old comrade Heinrich Aschoff, a Catholic farmer with a conscience, who instantly agrees to shelter Spiegel’s wife Marga and daughter Karen at his farm despite the risk to his own family. Based on the real Marga Spiegel’s best-selling memoir, Saviors in the Night relates the extraordinary story of the two families’ perilous years together, and with a forthrightness befitting the salt-of-the-earth Aschoff family (later recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations” by Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial for their death-defying act of compassion). Dutch director Ludi Boeken (Other Face of Terror, SFJFF 1986) captures the characters’ vulnerability as they endeavor to escape detection—rarely has a handheld camera felt more appropriate in a historical drama where a child’s thoughtless remark might mean a death sentence. The Aschoffs’ rural village isn’t as malignant as the one in Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon, but the good deeds of the few are undermined by neighbors’ whispers and resentment. Moreover, family bonds are tested, as the Aschoffs must justify their act of courage to a daughter whose friends have joined the Hitler Youth and a son who is fighting on the front. With outstanding performances and a riveting conclusion, Saviors in the Night delivers a powerful message about the price—and rewards—of altruism. This is an extraordinary feature film that powerfully records one memorable instance of moral courage under desperate conditions.—Max Goldberg
I've no idea the author of this vaguely shakespearean street art stencil work, but he or she has vastly improved this building in my eyes.
I took this on a block in Washington D.C., Columbia Heights neighborhood [note: info thanks to sidecardog: NE D.C., on Newton Street between 14th & 16th], distressed area of the city that has been experiencing somewhat of a 'revival' as they say. Some well-educated, moneyed, people, mostly from out of the area, now rub elbows with the poor native D.C. folks who've been there all along. Add to both of these groups the ever increasing numbers of immigrants, overwhelmingly Central American, and you have an uneasy mix. Virgin Marys painted on fabric hang in one window, next door all the windows are boarded up; on the corner a church has just served lunch to 200 homeless men and women, as it has for 30 years, while 2 blocks away young people stroll in and out of the ubiquitous chain coffee shops with $5 coffee drinks in hand, cell phones in hand. I don't live in the neighborhood and have really only spent significant amounts of time there in the past month, but it appears to me that the groups are like oil and water and, I don't know, sand (? some other element that doesn't mix with the others). The various groups just lack any common experiences (except for the most basic ones of being human, the suffering and joys of our log, etc., but having those things in common only gets you so far...) Then there's the issue of $$$...who has it, who doesn't, anxieties and resentments about this imbalance and the accompanying power imbalance (actual or perceived).
Anyhow, that's the long story of the setting of this street art.

Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal (Our Lady Cathedral) - construction began in 1352. (though a a number of churches have existed at this site since the 800's)
This cathedral is notable for a number of reasons- it has the tallest spire in "Benelux". From the 1450's to the 1650's it hosted a number of the most influential composers of their time, including particularly Johannes Ockeghem, Jacob Obtrecht, and John Bull.
Though the interior was plundered twice (during the Iconoclastic Fury of 1566, and during the French Revolution). Still, the cathedral is home to a number of paintings of Peter Paul Rubens, who made his home in Antwerp.
And it rings the most sublime of bells. By day, an amazing sound from on high, an ethereal singing above the afternoon bustle. By evening, the carillon echoes off the buildings of the empty Grote Markt and the small surrounding streets-. Music resonating from all sides- at times, a high tinkling and at others, a low sonorous gong.
Antwerp/Antwerpen/Anvers
Belgium/Belgie/Belgique
March 9, 2011
Antwerp is a most cosmopolitan city. There seems to be a certain indescribable ennui throughout much of Belgium- but not in Antwerp. There is a causal sophistication here. Unlike Bruges, which is stuck in time, and Brussels which seems to have lost its identity in its role on the international stage, Antwerp is vibrating through another golden age.
The area has been settled at least since the Roman era, but really rose to prominence in the 1500’s after the Zwin River silted up and Bruges’ economy collapsed. If Bruges was an incredibly prosperous port whose realm of trade stretched throughout medieval Europe and the Levant, Antwerp was a port of intercontinental scale- one of the first such ports in the world. As part of the Spanish Empire, it brought in goods from as far as the Americas and Asia. Some sources say that in the early 1500’s, Antwerp saw up to 40 percent of global trade, and was one of the largest cities in Europe.
This, of course, is where the city’s cosmopolitanism originated. Merchants from across Europe set up shop in Antwerp, and the spirit of tolerance inherent in most port cities attracted a large population of orthodox Jews. And, as always, wealth attracted the arts, including some of the most prominent painters and musicians of the Northern Renaissance.
Despite this boom period, there was a great underlying tension rising. The Low Countries became swept up by the Protestant Reformation and by a growing resentment of Spanish rule. Violence erupted in 1566, with the Iconoclastic Fury, in which Protestants ransacked towns and churches, destroying Catholic icons. A reason why many Medieval churches in Belgium have interiors adorned in the style of the Renaissance and the Baroque is that so many of the items made before 1566 were lost. The fiercely Catholic Spanish came down hard, and thus began the Eighty Years’ War which resulted in the independence of the Netherlands.
As a city at the heart of the Dutch Revolt, Antwerp suffered mightily. In November of 1576, Spanish troops sacked the city, plundering property and killing 6,000 residents - an event which became known the “Spanish Fury”. In 1585, Spain took full control of Antwerp and expelled the Protestants to the north. The population was reduced by half, and Amsterdam became the new center of international trade.
After this, the city fell into a long period of decline and was revived only in the early 19th century, when Napoleon invested in upgrading the long-neglected port (which the British attempted to capture in a disastrous campaign). In the 1890’s, Antwerp hosted a World’s Fair, and in 1920, the Olympics. The city was heavily damaged by German bombs in WW2, but today is on the rise once again- today ranking among the top 20 of busiest ports in the world- certainly larger than the port of New York. Standing on the bank of the River Scheldt, one can see shipping facilities stretching to beyond the horizon.
And once again, Antwerp is a cosmopolitan place. There is a diverse immigrant community, the arts have returned, and the city is taking a seat among the most prominent fashion centers of the world. 80 percent of the world’s rough diamonds pass through its diamond markets (unfortunately though, this includes many blood diamonds).
In short, there is a lot of action here. By day, the streets bustle with a certain vibrancy and lust for life. By night, bars and restaurants host a sophisticated conviviality. It feels like a new city.
It’s interesting how history works though. Walking at dusk through the Grote Markt, with its magnificent Golden Age houses of trade, under the sublime carillon of the Cathedral, you realize that, though the faces and much of the cityscape have changed, it is, in essence, the same city it was half a millennium ago.

In the months following Tony Blair's dramatic arrest at Amsterdam's Schiphol international airport the possibility that a former UK prime minister could be be tried and sentenced for war crimes has gripped the imagination of people from New York to New Delhi. Media representatives from every corner of the planet have turned the sleepy Dutch city of the Hague into a international news circus dwarfing the coverage given the O.J Simpson trial in the 90's.
According to latests foreign ministry accounts 6,560 reporters have descended upon city to cover this week's preliminary hearings which are scheduled to conclude next week.
Blair's detention on route to a conference on Middle East Security and Safety in Zurich severely strained UK – Dutch relations with some Conservative members of parliament even calling for the air strikes on military targets if the former leader was not released. In the days that followed hundreds of businesses and organisations with ties with the Netherlands were attacked throughout the United Kingdom with three Dutch citizens losing their lives in bomb attack near the country's London embassy
Not surprisingly, it has been the question of the sense and the legitimacy of the trials that is the center of attention for many eyewitnesses. Despite the lack of a legal precedent, most of them approve of the proceedings because, as U.S. writer Gore Vidal put it, "warmongers will no longer be able to live quietly in retirement." Some observers, however, have remained skeptical. Iraqi writer Salah Wali considered the indictment "bizarre" and British diplomats in Brussels have privately admitted that the British didn't "enter the war with clean hands. No nation could have done so."
The defendant, who await the world's judgment in varying postures of resentment, resignation, and revolt, is another focus for most members of the press. "While the counsel for the prosecution read UK documents about the killing of Iraqis and Afghans," railed Polish reporter Pawel Osmanczyk, enraged by the prisoner's deliberate display of boredom, "Blair yawns, or just pretends to be asleep."
Fascination for and disappointment about the banality of the man who helped in the possible murder of thousands of people also appear in the accounts of the reporters witnessing the proceedings. "Involuntarily one desires to see a greater man," wrote Australian journalist John Pliger, "who have to stand trial for all the cruelties which are spread out before the court." Afghan opposition leader, Abdullah Abdullah remarked incredulously: "He is so insignificant that you ask yourself: Was it really this degenerate who laid my country to waste... ?"

"Loneliness, fear, and resentment represent painful issues for children unable to tolerate confinement..." ~research study from 1978
The school was founded on humanitarian principles, and while some residents had very positive experiences, many did not. Escapes were fairly frequent (the school used to be minimum security, with no guards or fences).
Closeted: The Same Parts By: Denny Quinteros
I stand in a dark room filled with fear and resentment
This stems from the idea that speculation of my identity may hurt my well being
This dark room soon enclosed me for plenty of my childhood year and became a sense of need
Hiding felt like chains around my body but also protected me like armor
I desired to be free but when I tried to reach the door in front of me, these chains pulled me down onto my knees
I can feel people on the outside trying to look in
Their eyes filled with acceptance and protection but mine were to armored to be vulnerable
They struggled to get inside and see but I struggled to get out and perceive a new view
A knock resignated from the door, almost as a reminder
An alarm, that I would snooze because I was not ready to wake up
A lump in my throat began to build, filled with words I would not have the strength to hold
Everything came up roses, and I threw up a garden
I could only lay in the flowers and say such relieving words
"I am gay"

Source: Una Taylor, Guests and Memories: Annals of a Seaside Villa (1924), facing p. 365. 'From a photograph by Sir Percy Shelley'.
"There is that singular story, told by a friend of the family, Miss Blantyre Simpson, of how the late Sir Percy and Lady Shelley both believed that Shelley had been re-born in Robert Louis Stevenson, and how Lady Shelley went so far as to bear a deep resentment against Mrs Stevenson as the mother of the child that ought to have been her own!"
(William Sharp, Literary Geography [London: Offices of the Pall Mall Publications, 1904], p. 33)
Sir Percy Florence Shelley (1819-1889) and Lady Shelley (Jane St John, nee Gibson, 1820-1899) befriended RLS and Fanny when they were living in Bournemouth. Sir Percy was the son of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) and novelist Mary Shelley (1797-1851). In 1844, Sir Shelley became the 3rd Baronet of Castle Goring, Sussex. He enjoyed hobbies like amateur photography and he took photographs of RLS and Skerryvore. In July 1885, Fanny Stevenson wrote about the Shelleys to Sidney Colvin: “Also we are rather intimate with the Shelleys. Lady Shelley is delicious; naturally no longer young, suffering from the effects of a terrible accident that has left her a hopeless invalid, but with all the fire of youth, and as mad as some other people you know, and ready to plunge into any wild extravagance at a moment’s notice. Sir Percy is an odd creature! Do you know him? He is the poet’s son only in being so exceedingly curious. I think we will come to be very fond of him. They have a lovely little theatre at their place here, and give very delightful entertainments, which will be pleasant for us.
They have a bust of Mary Wollstonecraft done from a death mask, over which Louis raves; and justly, for it is the most entrancing thing ever seen” (The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson, ed. by Bradford A. Booth and Ernest Mehew, vol v [New Haven: Yale University Press, 1995], pp. 120-21).
RLS dedicated The Master of Ballantrae (1889) to the couple: “It is my hope that these surroundings of its manufacture may to some degree find favour for my story with seafarers and sea-lovers like yourselves. And at least here is the dedication from a great way off: written by the loud shores of a subtropical island near upon ten thousand miles from Boscombe Chine and Manor: scenes which rise before me as I write, along with the faces and voices of my friends. Well, I am for the sea once more; no doubt Sir Percy also” (RLS, “Dedication”, Waikiki, 17 May 1889, The Master of Ballantrae [London: Cassell and Co., 1891], p. iii).
Everyone hates it when it’s time for the performance review. It’s a given. But there are ways to move it from the “dreaded core” category to an “engagement tools” category.

Possible Answers to Prayer
BY SCOTT CAIRNS
Your petitions—though they continue to bear just the one signature—have been duly recorded. Your anxieties—despite their constant,
relatively narrow scope and inadvertent
entertainment value—nonetheless serve to bring your person vividly to mind.
Your repentance—all but obscured beneath a burgeoning, yellow fog of frankly more conspicuous resentment—is sufficient.
Your intermittent concern for the sick,
the suffering, the needy poor is sometimes recognizable to me, if not to them.
Your angers, your zeal, your lipsmackingly righteous indignation toward the many whose habits and sympathies offend you—
these must burn away before you’ll apprehend how near I am, with what fervor I adore precisely these, the several who rouse your passions.
Rotherham Town Brass Band Playing at the Jo Cox 'The Great Get Together' Brodsworth Hall, Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
For those outside the UK, Jo Cox was a Labour Party MP that (like myself) passionately hated any form of racism, or prejudice of any sort. She was murdered on 16th June 2016 by an extreme right winger that was (as they all are) full of hate, prejudice and resentment - and completely lacking humanity, common sense and any form of intelligence.
Jo was killed during our Brexit discussions. There was an evil side to some discussions that some right wingers seemed to take as validation for violence against immigrants (and in their simple minds anti-Brexiteers). Fascist publications like the Daily Mail (or the 'Fanzine of the English Defence League' as I call it) also loved to stir up these feelings.
A year on, 'The Great Get Together' was a series of around 120,000 street parties etc. all over the UK (and some beyond) to show that in the words of Penny from The Big Bang Theory, 'Love trumps Hate'.
I don't know what the answer is to this sort of hatred - nobody does. Maybe some sort of education in schools about the horrors of the World Wars etc., as a result of this form of right wing hatred.
In Jo's own words from her first House of Commons speech as an MP, 'We have far more in common than that which divides us'. A very true statement that sadly caused her untimely death at the hands of a complete nutcase.

It doesn't look too busy, but most people (like us) were sheltering in the shade from the extreme sunny heat of that day.
The French may have left Pondicherry, their tiny bastion in British India, 51 years ago, but this city in Southeastern India has preserved what they left behind.
Signs of France can been seen immediately in the more than 270 heritage buildings that stand in the colonial quarter of the city. "Nowhere else in India can you see in one section of a city such a large number of well-preserved colonial .
While India worked furiously to dismantle links to Britain after gaining independence in 1947, Pondicherry has held dearly to French names and institutions. Residents don't appear to harbor resentment toward the French, and that has aided the city's preservation efforts
