Happy Xmas (War Is Over) ist ein Lied von John Lennon und Yoko Ono, das erstmals am 1. Dezember 1971 als Single in den USA veröffentlicht wurde. In Großbritannien erfolgte die Veröffentlichung erst knapp ein Jahr später am 24. November 1972.

Entstanden im historischen Umfeld des Vietnamkriegs als Protestlied, entwickelte es sich im Laufe der Zeit im angelsächsischen Sprachraum zu einem geradezu klassischen Weihnachtslied. Der Text basiert auf dem Slogan einer Antikriegs-Kampagne von Lennon und Ono aus dem Dezember 1969. Für diese Kampagne mieteten die beiden Werbeflächen auf Plakatwänden in mehreren großen Städten weltweit, darunter New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Tokio, Rom und Berlin. Die Aufschrift lautete: “WAR IS OVER! IF YOU WANT IT Happy Christmas from John & Yoko” (deutsch: „Der Krieg ist aus! Wenn du es willst. Fröhliche Weihnachten von John und Yoko“). 1971 waren die Vereinigten Staaten noch stark in den zunehmend unpopulären Vietnamkrieg verwickelt. Die Zeile “War is over, if you want it, war is over, now!” die im Hintergrund vom Chor gesungen wird, stammt aus der Kampagne.

„‚Happy Xmas‘ haben Yoko und ich gemeinsam geschrieben. Es heißt darin: ‚War is over if you want it‘. Das war immer noch dieselbe Message – der Gedanke, dass wir genauso verantwortlich sind wie der Mann, der die Knöpfe drückt. Solange die Menschen die Vorstellung haben, dass es ihnen jemand antut und dass sie keine Macht haben, haben sie keine Macht.“

– John Lennon: Dezember 1980

Just another late-night illustration.

Some results of the Plantin Instituut voor Typografie / Plantin Institute of Typography Expert Class Type Design 2010 – 2011 by Frank Blokland in Antwerp, Belgium. Picture is part of Frank Blokland's design for a poster as an invitation to the exhibition at the Plantin Moretus Museum this September. Text and images by the participants – click "notes" for links.

Opening September 10, 12:00h.

My contribution is second row second column. As it was meant as a body text face, and I do not believe too much in typographical detail anyway, It has a clear rhythm, supported by the seris. I show a text sample: left part without any kerning, right part (partim) with "optical kerning" in InDesign. More on the evolution to this typeface on this Flickr set. Maybe listen to some music at it .

Had the idea of placing a ring in the centrefold of a book and photographing the heart shaped shadow it creates. But I got bored trying to set the shot up, so pulled out this old book that was my Grandads in the late 1920s.

Based on the text in the photo you'd think it was the screenplay for Pulp Fiction, but I couldn't find any reference in it to a Big Kahuna Burger.

Ooh, and I finished writing all of the testimonials (except for comments I got on that photo today)! YAY! That took a long time....but of course it was worth it because all of you guys are such incredible people :D

Anyways, I'm off to go Christmas shopping with one of my buddies... hope you all have a great day!

Please do not use without crediting me or informing me first. Thank you.

Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas

---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

Beta is a test preview of the change that is getting ready to be implemented soon. It can be for a limited group of flickr members, intended to seek feedback and correct faults ( if any), before it is made public.

Change is good and public has always welcomed good changes. The preference for Windows XP by most people even after the introduction of Vista is a classic example of public acceptance. The public liked and preferred the predecessor ( Windows XP ) and the follower ( Windows 7 and Windows 8 ) versions of Vista. A change is good and often gladly welcomed by public, if it provides more utilities and user friendliness, without depriving even a single advantage of the predecessor.

The Beta version is unacceptable to the majority of Flickr users* ( who happened to experience it ) , because it's not user friendly and has only disadvantages to mention. *Please check the Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas

The layout itself is a disaster. Please check : Try our new photo experience beta / Comment box

However they try, it's quite evident that it's impossible to provide more space for descriptions, comment box, and comments; not to mention comments with pictures , group invites / awards. The more they try to fix it, the more cumbersome it becomes. The buddy icons now appear as dots making the page more unaesthetic than what you see in the earlier pictures of beta . They are desperately trying to make it appealing and user friendly, which is literally impossible with the proposed layout .

It's a big challenge for the programmers to try find means to provide more space in a vertical column which is already cramped.

Is it possible to make a rugby stadium inside a 100 square feet ground ?

Based on a photograph of a flyer on a building on Valencia Street in San Francisco

Stanton were one of the biggest manufacturers of concrete street lamp columns - with production going back to pre-WW2 days. Amongst the last styles manufactured were these versions of the 'type 8' columns - here showing a standard height of 22' 6" and with double brackets ranging from 5 feet to 16 feet spans. The latter must have been quite something!

Watching and taking photos of Pelicans is a favorite pass time of mine. I took this series of shots as a Pelican circled overhead waiting to get a perch on a light tower where other Pelicans would not bunch up to make a place for this particular bird.
