Roger Raveel (1921 - 2013, Machelen-aan-de-Leie) is a Flemish post-expressionist painter, graphic artist, ceramicist and maker of objects. His work is difficult to classify under a specific art movement. Raveel himself thought that his first mentor was actually the Italian painter, sculptor and architect Giotto. In the early 1950s he became acquainted with painters of the Cobra group, such as Karel Appel and Corneille. In the second half of the 1950s he evolved towards a more abstract painting that has its roots in experiencing the organic, the vegetative, the animate. However, he wants to take very different paths with his painting. In 1962 he spends three months in Italy, after which he wants to establish a direct dialogue between art and reality, his 'New Vision'. Raveel's style is characterized by the mixture of abstract and figurative painting. Sometimes mirrors or objects are part of his paintings or they are themselves three-dimensional objects. A typical characteristic of Raveels' work are white squares: they represent voids or absence. Motifs in bright, vital colors were sometimes outlined with dark outlines.
Title of the work: The morunful lamb waits patiently for his ultimate bliss on the slaughtering block.

Roger Raveel (1921 - 2013, Machelen-aan-de-Leie ) is een Vlaams postexpressionistisch kunstschilder, graficus, keramist en maker van objecten. Zijn werk is moeilijk onder een specifieke kunststroming onder te brengen. Zelf vond Raveel dat zijn eerste mentor eigenlijk de Italiaanse schilder, beeldhouwer en architect Giotto was.In het begin van de jaren 1950 leerde hij schilders van de Cobragroep kennen, zoals Karel Appel en Corneille kennen. In de tweede helft van de jaren 1950 evolueerde hij naar een meer abstracte schilderkunst die haar wortels heeft in het beleven van het organische, het vegetatieve, het animale. Hij wil echter heel andere wegen op met zijn schilderkunst. In 1962 verblijft hij drie maanden in Italië, waarna hij een directe dialoog tot stand wil brengen tussen kunst en werkelijkheid, zijn 'Nieuwe Visie'. Raveel’s stijl wordt gekenmerkt door de mengeling van abstract en figuratief schilderen. Soms maken spiegels of objecten deel uit van zijn schilderijen of zijn het zelf driedimensionale objecten. Een typisch kenmerk van Raveels’ werk zijn witte vierkanten: die stellen leegtes voor of afwezigheid. Motieven in felle, vitale kleuren werden soms met donkere contouren afgelijnd.
Dit werk is te bewonderen in het Roger Raveelmuseum in Machelen-aan-de-Leie ( Zulte, België ): www.rogerraveelmuseum.be/
Roger Raveel (1921 - 2013, Machelen-aan-de-Leie) est un peintre post-expressionniste flamand, graphiste, céramiste et créateur d'objets. Son travail est difficile à classer dans un mouvement artistique spécifique. Raveel lui-même croyait que son premier mentor était en fait le peintre, sculpteur et architecte italien Giotto. Au début des années 1950, il rencontra des peintres du groupe Cobra, tels que Karel Appel et Corneille. Dans la seconde moitié des années 1950, il évolue vers une peinture plus abstraite qui trouve ses racines dans l'expérience de l'organique, du végétatif, de l'animé. Cependant, il souhaite emprunter des chemins très différents avec sa peinture. En 1962, il passe trois mois en Italie, après quoi il veut établir un dialogue direct entre l'art et la réalité, sa «Nouvelle Vision». Le style de Raveel se caractérise par le mélange de peinture abstraite et figurative. Parfois, des miroirs ou des objets font partie de ses peintures ou sont eux-mêmes des objets en trois dimensions. Les carrés blancs sont une caractéristique typique du travail de Raveel: ils représentent des vides ou des absences. Des motifs aux couleurs vives et vitales étaient parfois soulignés de contours sombres.
Titre de l'œuvre: l'agneau triste attend patiemment son bonheur ultime sur le billot.

(HGM 5582 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"1503 Crystolite" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Amber: A pale shade of amber and also a deeper amber was produced on occasion from the 1920s on, primarily for the Fred Harvey Restaurants of the Santa Fe Railroad. In 1951, Heisey listed amber in their catalogs and called it Sultana. Sultana was a medium to deep amber.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Constructed with foraged building materials, dSatellite merges both the physical and conceptual characteristics of the DFLUX Residency site and a typical nature blind used by naturalists, scientists, photographers and hunters. dSatellite is currently deployed in a completely razed residential neighborhood of Detroit currently referred to as the "field" by local residents and "Renaissance Zone" by real estate developers. A dense urban forest, rich with wildlife, has grown there, only crumbling roads and alleys, debris piles, and public utilities remain as signs of past use.

Shoreham Sculpture Trail
with The London Group
and Friends. A weekend of site specific art by over 70 artists spread around the village of Shoreham, Kent.
One of the largest sculptire trails the UK has ever seen. Featuring 30 London Group members and invited artists, including many prominent UK sculptors. 76 artists will be exhibiting over 200 sculptures in 26 gardens. The astonishing diversity of the exhibits ranges from the monumental to the ephemeral with works in metal and stone, with interactive work and performance and the Trail will be particularly unusual in the number of site-specific works. The idyllic village of Shoreham Kent, a gem just on the edge of London, is a beautiful place to visit just for itself and in June the gardens of all sizes, many on the river, will be at their best - visitors couldn't wish for more perfect surroundings in which to view sculpture. Most artists will be present to meet visitors during the trail and many will be giving talks. The Trail is curated by London Group President Susan Haire.

Summary: Earth dams are a large surface-water storage structure, constructed across a drainage channel. A water pan is constructed by excavating the reservoir on a flat sloping landscape. This project is managed by the water committee in Dilla, the community members used to take 4 hrs one way to fetch water, now they take 30 mins to 1 hr. The project benefits 2500 families (2500 X 5 people/ HH).This project is tied up with the food for asset project, in which the community would build water points next to the reservoir for livestock. The water is available for approximately 1000 heads of camel and cattle and domestic use. **Photos provided by WV Hong Kong

A glass graduated cylinder and a scale to measure. 100 ml. water measures 100g. water. By knowing the glaze, I will know what Specific Gravity is right for that glaze. Usually less for gloss glazes and more for matte glazes.
The VISCOSITY of a glaze means the flow of a glaze.
Hydrometer measures viscosity.
Specific Gravity measures DENSITY. How the material particles are packed in the water. Denser, heavier.
Gerstely Borate can have a high viscosity (thick) but at the same time, a low Specific Gravity. Adding water is not a solution because there are less and less particles in the water, bad application.
More water, less galae particles = low specific gravity.
Triumph Spitfire MK2 z roku 1965 podczas przejazdu pokazowego w ramach zlotu zabytkowych pojazdów, który odbył się na rynku Nowego Miasta w Warszawie. Klasyczna, sportowa linia. Uwagę zwracają stroje kierowcy i pasażera, dopasowane do epoki. Samochód ma w nietypowy sposób podnoszoną pokrywę komory silnika –zamki znajdują się przy drzwiach, a oś obrotu znajduje się z przodu, w pobliżu kratki chłodnicy. Dzięki temu po otwarciu jest doskonały dostęp do jednostki napędowej.

-----------------------------------
"1236 Eagle" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Moongleam" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey produced - in this case, light green.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Shoreham Sculpture Trail
with The London Group
and Friends. A weekend of site specific art by over 70 artists spread around the village of Shoreham, Kent.
One of the largest sculptire trails the UK has ever seen. Featuring 30 London Group members and invited artists, including many prominent UK sculptors. 76 artists will be exhibiting over 200 sculptures in 26 gardens. The astonishing diversity of the exhibits ranges from the monumental to the ephemeral with works in metal and stone, with interactive work and performance and the Trail will be particularly unusual in the number of site-specific works. The idyllic village of Shoreham Kent, a gem just on the edge of London, is a beautiful place to visit just for itself and in June the gardens of all sizes, many on the river, will be at their best - visitors couldn't wish for more perfect surroundings in which to view sculpture. Most artists will be present to meet visitors during the trail and many will be giving talks. The Trail is curated by London Group President Susan Haire.
Yn ystod ail flwyddyn eu Diploma Estynedig Lefel 3 yn y Celfyddydau Perfformio, bydd myfyrwyr yn ymgymryd ag uned o'r enw Perfformiad safle-benodol sy'n ei wneud yn ofynnol iddynt greu gwaith sydd i'w gyflawni mewn amgylchedd nad yw'n theatraidd. Mae perfformiadau safle-benodol blaenorol wedi cynnwys hanes glan y môr Aberystwyth a'r llynedd, fel rhan o ganmlwyddiant Dylan Thomas, straeon lleol am fywyd Dylan a Caitlin yng Nghei Newydd, Ceredigion rhwng 1944-45. Eleni, maent yn mynd allan i'r bryniau i berfformio 'Tales Along The Way' yn Llanddewi Brefi ac yn Soar-y-Mynydd ar ddydd Gwener 22 o Fai. Cymerodd y myfyrwyr eu hysbrydoliaeth gychwynnol o’r teithiau cerdded mae pererinion wedi eu cymryd o Ogledd Cymru i Eglwys Llanddewi Brefi dros y canrifoedd, yn ogystal â'r teithiau cerdded y mae pobl wedi eu cymryd i Gapel bach Soar-y-Mynydd yn ystod rhan gynnar yr Ugeinfed Ganrif. Mae'r ddau safle yn dal i fod yn ganolfannau crefyddol pwysig heddiw. Gan ddefnyddio barddoniaeth RS Thomas, emynau Ann Griffiths a thestun wedi ei sgriptio ar gyfer y perfformiad, mae'r myfyrwyr wedi creu perfformiad sy’n seiliedig ar symudiad yn bennaf ac sydd wedi ysbrydoli gan straeon lleol. Yna caiff straeon a chlecs eu gwau o’r rhain wrth iddynt ddilyn rhai o'r llwybrau a gymerwyd ers talwm.
In the second year of their Level 3 Extended Diploma in Performing Arts, students have a unit called Site-Specific performance that requires them to make work to be performed in a non-theatrical environment. Previous Site-Specific performances have included the history of Aberystwyth seafront and last year, as part of the Dylan Thomas centenary, local stories of Dylan and Caitlin’s life in New Quay, Ceredigion between 1944-45. This year, they go out into the hills to perform ‘Tales Along the Way’ in Llandewi Brefi and at Soar-y-Mynydd on Friday, the 22nd of May. The students took their initial inspiration from the walks that pilgrims have taken from North Wales to the church of Llandewi Brefi over many centuries as well as the walks that people did to the little chapel of Soar-y-Mynydd during the early part of the 20th Century. These two sites are still important religious centres today. Using the poetry of R.S. Thomas, hymns by Ann Griffiths and text scripted for the performance, the students have created a primarily movement based performance inspired by local stories from which tales and gossip is woven as they follow some of the routes taken in days gone by.
In specific, Holy Week is the week just before Easter that extends from Palm Sunday until Holy Saturday and marks the last week of Lent. It has earned the name 'Holy', according to the Orthodox Church, due to the significant events that take place for Christianity in regard to the sufferings of Jesus Christ.
Saturday evening is filled with the anticipation of celebrating Easter Sunday. In some areas, people begin to gather in the churches and squares in cities, towns and villages by 11pm for the Easter liturgies. A few minutes before midnight, all the lights are turned off and the priest exits the altar holding candles lit by the Holy Light, which is distributed to everyone inside and outside the church. At midnight, the priest exits the church and announces the resurrection of Jesus. Many people carry large white candles called lambada, and the church bells toll as the priests announce “Christ is Risen!” at midnight. Each person in the crowd replies with a similarly joyous response.

From Bredehoft (2004):
Amber: A pale shade of amber and also a deeper amber was produced on occasion from the 1920s on, primarily for the Fred Harvey Restaurants of the Santa Fe Railroad. In 1951, Heisey listed amber in their catalogs and called it Sultana. Sultana was a medium to deep amber.

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.
