Baboon
Baboons are Old World monkeys belonging to the genus Papio, part of the subfamily Cercopithecinae which are found natively in very specific areas of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The five species are some of the largest non-hominoid members of the primate order; only the mandrilland the drill are larger. Previously, the closely related gelada (genus Theropithecus) and the two species (mandrill and drill) of genus Mandrillus were grouped in the same genus, and these Old World monkeys are still often referred to as baboons in everyday speech. They range in size and weight depending on species. The Guinea baboon is 50 cm (20 in) and weighs only 14 kg (31 lb), while the largest chacma baboon can be 120 cm (47 in) and weigh 40 kg (88 lb).

As cinco espécies são alguns dos maiores membros não hominóides da ordem dos primatas; somente o mandril e a broca são maiores. Anteriormente, a gelada (gênero Theropithecus) e as duas espécies (mandril e broca) do gênero Mandrillus estavam agrupadas no mesmo gênero, e esses macacos do Velho Mundo ainda são freqüentemente chamados de babuínos na fala cotidiana. Eles variam em tamanho e peso, dependendo da espécie. O babuíno guiné tem 50 cm (20 pol) e pesa apenas 14 kg (31 lb), enquanto o maior babuíno chacma pode ter 120 cm (47 pol) e pesar 40 kg (88 lb).

A Sky Burial is a type of funeral specific to the highlands of Central-East Asia, practised by a number of religions, including the Buddhists of Tibet, Qinghai and Sichuan. The most essential ingredient: Vultures. Hence SKY Burial ....
Basically it is, as with so many things associated with Culture, something born from the constraints and demans of geography: highlands with hard, rocky soil (no Ground Burial) + a very high altitude meaning a scarcity of trees and hence firewood (no Fire Bural) + an abundance of vultures + people doing what we all do: dieing = Sky Burials. Add to that a circular religion where what you give is what you get (kharma) + a nature bound religion + reincarnation = what is left behind is an empty vessel (meat, if you wish). All this fits in perfectly with another central tenant of Buddhism: "I lived off you, now you live off me".
There are different forms of Sky Burials which you can google for more info: ones with no fire and ones with a small amount of wood (part-cremation). We witnessed the last form, usually reserved for rather important people. Obviously we left before the vultures got to the partly cremated body.
Apparently the top clergy are not disposed of in either of these manners. Read more on google if you wish
Abierto x Obras. Matadero Madrid. Del 15 de septiembre 2017 al 8 de enero 2018.
Matadero Madrid presenta Los Afijos, una intervención site specific que ha realizado Juan López (Cantabria, 1979) para el programa Abierto x Obras, que tiene lugar en la antigua cámara frigorífica del que fue el matadero de Legazpi. La propuesta del artista plantea una intervención escultórica sobre la arquitectura como forma de resistencia contra lo establecido.
Los afijos son secuencias lingüísticas que se anteponen, se posponen o se insertan en una palabra para modificar su significado. Esta intervención, realizada específicamente para el programa Abierto x Obras de Matadero Madrid, trabaja con la relación entre escritura y arquitectura, entre signo y significado, entre escultura y collage. En un mundo hipercomunicado, poblado de signos creados por una élite intelectual y/o social, López juega con la posibilidad de alumbrar nuevos significados, nuevos espacios y otros regímenes de lo sensible, a partir de la creación de renovados signos, que además componen otros espacios. Así pues, se resignifica el discurso a la vez que se resignifica la arquitectura y por tanto nuestra manera de relacionarnos en este espacio.
Desde sus obras tempranas de intervención en el espacio urbano, el trabajo de Juan López busca desvelar otros modos de percibir el lugar como hipótesis para otras relaciones sociales fuera de la normatividad impuesta por el poder. En su obra, y mediante el recurso de la metáfora, quiebra y recompone los vínculos entre estos tres elementos: ciudad, subjetividad y poder.
Juan López ha expuesto en numerosas galerías, centros de arte, ferias y museos nacionales e internacionales como La Casa Encendida, MUSAC, Centro de Arte Laboral, Fundación Joan Miró, La Panera, O.K. Centrum Tokyo Wonder Site o Den Frie. Además, ha recibido diversos premios y becas como Hegnspl-Award Byens Hegn, Generaciones 2013, Premio ABC de Arte, Beca Fundación Marcelino Botín o Muestra de Arte INJUVE.
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que invita a artistas a realizar una pieza de nueva producción incentivando el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero.
City Park

The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.
This specific area shows only a small part of Ireland's longest double-sided herbaceous border. Originally designed in the late 19th century and influenced by pioneering Irish garden writer William Robinson, the border rejects formal, high-maintenance annual bedding in favor of layered perennials that provide changing colors from spring through autumn. The entire planting path contains upwards of 700 to 1,000 distinct plant varieties.
Powerscourt is a large country estate noted for its house and landscaped gardens. The house, originally a 13th-century castle, was extensively rebuilt by German architect Richard Cassels, starting in 1731 and finishing in 1741. A fire in 1974 left the house lying as a shell until it was renovated in 1996. Since 1961 the estate has been owned and run by the Slazenger family.
Remains of a specific medieval fortress, which was built into four basalt towers, which are the remains of an ancient volcano. It was a guard castle with a large tower, which stood high above the landscape with a great outlook at the delta of Elbe river, an important trade route at that time. The original wooden castle stood at least in the 11th Century, and was modified to a stone castle sometimes in the 12th Century. It was expanded in the late 14th Century, attacked in 1444 and damaged, improvized repairs have been done but in the next year another enemies burned the castle down and killed all the men defending it (they were buried under the castle in a mass grave, which is still there). The castle is mentioned as abandoned in 1515, but the buildings under the core were used until WW2. Most of the stone walls sacked down the hill, creating still visible debris fields, today the basalt towers are pretty well accessible, and it is possible to climb to the highest point and have a beautiful look around the landscape.

G. pflanzii (Vaupel) Wendermann, Bluh. Kakt. fig 94 (1935); Vaupel, Zeitschr. f. Sukkf, 1:83 (1923) - as Echinocactus pflanzii.
Schutz´s SubGenus Pirisemineum;
Buxbaum´s Series Pflanziana
There is little doubt that this species embraces the several specific names erected for differing forms found in the same broad area, viz. G. chuquisacanum, G. comorapense, G. izozogsii, G. lagunillasense, G. marquezii, G. millaresii, G. riograndense and G. zegarrae. And althougth they have been reduce to varietal or form status beneath G. pflanzii, there is little justification for retaining them any level for what is clearly a widespread variable species. Ritter recognized one variety on the basis of fruit colour difference, G. pflanzii var. albipulpa, under which he sank G. zegarrae (reduce already by Donald to varietal rank, as G. pflanzii var. zegarrae, which invalidated Ritter´s choice of a new name).
Hans and Walter Till have recently taken an old varietal name invalidly erected by Backeberg, and validated it, describing it in considerable detail, viz. G. pflanzii var. argentinense, but this seems to have no more validity than those mentioned above, and in view of the proliferations of names already under this specie, it is considered here inappropiaded to recognize any, since the differences are insignificant, and to recognize one begs the questions or recognizing them all.
It is generally a solitary species, later sometimes clustering from the base. The body in the wild is said to get to as much 50 cm (over 18 ins) wide (but there have been doubts cast on this reporting). In the cultivation it is rarely seen at more than 15 cm or so broad, 6 to 8 cm tall. It is a dull, yellowish to olive green, sometimes tinted purpled, with 8 or 10 ribs, or more when larger, with fat, rounded tubercles obscuring the ribs formations. Areoles are long-oval with white wool. Radial spines number 6 to 9, curving, strong, stiff, pinkish-whitish-brown with darker tips, to 25 mm long, usually curving back strongly towards the body in a very characteritics way for the species. There is one, similar central spine. Flowers are short tubed, to 5 cm long and wide, pale whitish-pink to deep salmon pink (this often applying to the name G. marquezii), with deep violet red throat. Fruit is almost globose, reddish-purple, about 1.5 to 2 cm wide, splitting (unusually) transversely to spill out a sticky jam containing the seeds. The seeds are tiny, brownish-black, pear-shaped.

ROIL, Christine Sciulli, site specific installation at Smack Mellon photo by Etienne Frossard courtesy of Smack Mellon.
ROIL is an 8 channel video projection of expanding and contracting circles of white light onto a 2000 yard white mesh installation (35'Hx55'Lx28'W) at Smack Mellon (92 Plymouth Street, Brooklyn, NY) on view through 21 February 2016.

Artist Statement
ROIL
December 2016
My most recent explorations have focused on the projection of plane geometries through various three dimensional networks to generate a dynamic mapping of solid geometries of light through space. In this installation, projected circles of white light expand and collapse through Smack Mellon’s cavernous space in a frenzy which harkons back to the roiling steam that powered surrounding factories.
Smack Mellon’s current home once belonged to Robert Gair, who patented his revolutionary design for a structurally sound three-dimensional lidded box folded from a single two-dimensional sheet of paper without adhesives in 1900. Industrialist Gair housed his widely varied paper product operations in several buildings concentrated in DUMBO. “Gairville” was fueled by tons of coal dropped through chutes carved out of the 4th and 5th floors of this former mill. Boilers in this vast hall superheated, churned and compressed water into hissing steam that pulsed through pipes and coursed into adjacent buildings supplying heat and energy. Racing progress and rapidly expanding industrialization, made possible by the relatively simple kinetic expansion of water into a vapor that could provide so many uses, was the starting point for my immersive, site-specific installation, ROIL. My installation stretches through the industrial hall offering opportunities to inhabit it’s passages, caves, nooks, hubs and low overhangs which become clear to the viewer as dark adaptation takes place.

Coprolite from the Tertiary of South Dakota, USA.
Fossil biogenic products are objects produced by ancient organisms. Many paleontologists refer to these as trace fossils, but they really aren't. Examples of fossil biogenic products include eggs, amber (= fossilized tree sap), coprolites (= fossilized feces), and spider silk.
Coprolites are fossilized fecal masses. They range in size from microscopic-sized pellets to moderately sizable dung piles. The most famous attributed examples are “Washington coprolites” from the Miocene Wilkes Formation of Washington State, USA, but these are now considered cololites (intestinal casts). True coprolites are fossilized dung. Thin sections of coprolites often reveal fragments of incompletely digested plant matter or sometimes undigested animal tissue. Coprolite studies can provide information about the diet of ancient organisms, assuming the coprolite maker is known with some specificity (which is often not the case).

Even though we've selected a specific newspaper, we can't just browse it page by page. We must now do another search, either by keyword or a specific issue, and the results will be a series of individual articles.
In this case, I choose to search the Liberty Bell for any articles talking about slavery, slaves, or slavers, published any time after 1850.

Formulated for the specific requirements of Vintage engines, Vintage Cool 180° transfers heat efficiently from the engine even at elevated temperatures. Because the onset of even localised boiling is eliminated, this coolant works very well in systems where cooling performance is marginal and gives real peace of mind in hot weather or slow traffic conditions.
The unique waterless properties offer many advantages over traditional coolants:
•Stops Corrosion - Water-based coolants actively cause corrosion within the cooling system. Our advanced waterless formulation is 100% non-corrosive and contains corrosion inhibitors to protect from left over water residue.
•180°C Protection - The unique properties enable efficient heat transfer up to 180°C. Eliminate problems such as Boil-over and After-boil and protect against cylinder liner pitting, metal distortion and pre-ignition.
•Lower Pressures - Due to the high boiling point the cooling system operates at significantly lower pressures. Not only does this ensure a safer system, it prevents unnecessary stress on hoses and other other components.
•Antifreeze - All year round protection. Evans waterless coolants protect down to -40°C.
•4 Life - Evans Waterless Coolant is proven to last the life of the engine.
•Non-toxic - Formulated with our patented DeTox™ additive
The lovely Sara and I took a mini road trip up to Vermont last weekend. No specific destination - the plan was to drive around and stop whenever we wanted and where ever we ended up around 7pm we'd stop and continue on the following day. I brought my X100V and my Polaroid SX-70 with a pack of color film and a pack of black & white film. Anytime we saw something to make a photograph of, we'd stop.
The weather was perfect both days and it was great to just head off and see where we ended up.
Here are some selections from the weekend from the X100V

Mirror is a site specific installation by international artist Jaume Plensa. Mirror features two 10 foot tall figures positioned in conversation with each other. Up close, their physical forms are an intermingling of white coated marine steel letters from many alphabets. Viewers are provided with an entry point to each figure, where they can physically walk inside the sculpture. One of the new public art works celebrating Rice University's centennial.
