What he lacks in size Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia brings in determination. He has just homered to left and is rounding third base. He is going past Minnesota third baseman Miguel Sano who is nearly twice his size.

St. Paul the Apostle is a very revered saint in the Sicilian town of Palazzolo Acreide, the feast in his honor is celebrated on two occasions (very important periods if referring to peasant civilization), on 29 June (the day I took this photo story this year 2025) date of his martyrdom, and January 25, the date of his conversion to Christianity. The "summer party" of June 29, begins with a particular collection of donut-shaped bread (in Sicilian called "cuddura"), donated by the villagers and collected on a cart, this is the "round of bread", these loaves (called "di San Paolo") have decorations that recall snakes: the reference is always to San Paolo, considered the protector from the poisonous bites of vipers, this is the ancestral legacy of an ancient peasant civilization, the wheat harvest period that coincides with the feast, it makes working in sunburnt fields particularly dangerous; once there were characters to whom supernatural gifts were attributed, they were called "ciarauli", capable of protecting from the venomous bites of the viper (This year, a very nice man of Palazzolo Acreide, who was also present last year, was present at the feast to recall these ancient figures. Instead of little snakes, as was once the custom, he had with him a very calm python, also because it was full). The procession takes the name of "sciuta", with reference to the "exit" from the basilica of San Paolo of two floats, first the float comes out with the relic of the saint, carried on the shoulders by the devotees, immediately after, at 13.00 o'clock the exit of the float takes place with the ancient statue of Saint Paul holding a sword in his hand (the iconography represents him with the sword for two reasons, he was beheaded with a sword stroke, and because he, referring to the word of God, defined it more effective and sharper than a double-bladed sword), at this point they begin among the most spectacular and evocative pyrotechnic games that I have ever seen, we witness a phantasmagoric and kaleidoscopic explosion of colors made with enormous colored confetti and with colored ribbons about two meters long called 'nzareddi, which recall the shape and movement of snakes. During the procession we witness the rite of children who, often completely naked, are taken by their parents by the expert hands of two devotees present on the float, they are thus placed in front of St. Paul to ask for his intercession and protection, sometimes these children are adorned with paper money, in fact, the donation of money is part of the rites that accompany the procession. Among these rites is the vow of the "bare shoulder" made by devout bearers, and that of women who walk barefoot by vow. The procession with the two floats then arrives, as a sign of devotion, in the church of the Annunziata.
San Paolo Apostolo è un santo molto venerato nel paese siciliano di Palazzolo Acreide, la festa in suo onore viene celebrata in due occasioni (periodi molto importanti se riferiti alla civiltà contadina), il 29 giugno (giorno in cui ho realizzato quest’anno 2025 questo foto-racconto) data del suo martirio, ed il 25 gennaio, data della sua conversione al cristianesimo. La “festa estiva” del 29 giugno, inizia con una particolare raccolta di pane a forma di ciambella (in siciliano detta “cuddura”), donato dai paesani e raccolto su di un carretto, questo è il “giro del pane”, questi pani (detti “di San Paolo”) presentano delle decorazioni che richiamano i serpenti: il riferimento è sempre a San Paolo, ritenuto il protettore dai morsi velenosi delle vipere, questo è il retaggio ancestrale di un’antica civiltà contadina, il periodo della mietitura che coincide con la festa, rende particolarmente pericoloso il lavoro nei campi arsi dal sole; una volta esistevano dei personaggi a cui si attribuivano doti sovrannaturali, erano chiamati “ciarauli”, capaci di proteggere dai morsi velenosi della vipera (quest’anno era presente nella festa, a rievocare queste antiche figure, un simpaticissimo Palazzolese, presente anche l'anno scorso, che al posto delle bisce, come si usava una volta, aveva con se un docilissimo pitone, anche perchè satollo). La processione prende il nome di “sciuta”, con riferimento alla “uscita” dalla basilica di San Paolo di due vare, dapprima esce la vara con la reliquia del santo, portata in spalla dai devoti, subito dopo, alle 13,00 in punto avviene l’uscita della vara con l’antica statua di San Paolo che stringe una spada in pugno (l’iconografia lo rappresenta con la spada per due motivi, egli fu decapitato con un colpo di spada, e perché egli, riferendosi alla parola di Dio, la definiva più efficace e più tagliente di una spada a doppia lama), a questo punto iniziano tra i più spettacolari e suggestivi giochi pirotecnici che io che io abbia mai visto, si assiste ad una fantasmagorica e caleidoscopica esplosione di colori realizzati con enormi coriandoli colorati e con dei nastri colorati lunghi circa due metri chiamati ‘nzareddi, che richiamano la forma ed il movimento dei serpenti. Durante la processione si assiste al rito dei bambini che, molto spesso completamente nudi, vengono presi dai genitori dalle esperte mani di due devoti presenti sulla vara, vengono così messi al cospetto di San Paolo a chiederne la sua intercessione e protezione, a volte questi bimbi sono adornati con della carta moneta, infatti la donazione di denaro fa parte dei riti che accompagnano la processione. Tra questi riti c’è il voto della “spalla nuda” fatto dai devoti portatori, e quello delle donne che per voto camminano scalze. La processione con le due vare giunge poi, in segno di devozione, nella chiesa dell’Annunziata.

The third stilwerk location, stilwerk Düsseldorf was opened in 2000 in Grünstrasse, intersecting the city’s famous Königsallee. In this modern new building, 42 premium retailers present their products on a total sales floor of 17,000 square metres.
...
The architecture of every stilwerk location is a key element in the overall concept, and is aligned perfectly to each site. stilwerk Düsseldorf is a breathtaking work of architecture, with five storeys rising 32 metres in the form of an ellipse and crowned with a glass roof that can be opened in fine weather. The entrance to the rectangular building, set on a plinth base, is dominated by a recessed glass facade. The elliptical body extends from the 22-m plinth block to a height of 32 metres, and is roofed by a filigree glass and steel construction. The interior of the building is designed as an elliptical atrium ringed by galleries forming the sales floors. The building was designed by architects’ office J.S.K. Architekten and won the “Haus mit Himmel” award from the Association of German Architects, Düsseldorf, in 2000.

Perhaps the most well know principle of photographic composition is the ‘Rule of Thirds‘.
It’s one of the first things that budding digital photographers learn about in classes on photography and rightly so as it is the basis for well balanced and interesting shots.
I will say right up front however that rules are meant to be broken and ignoring this one doesn’t mean your images are necessarily unbalanced or uninteresting. However a wise person once told me that if you intend to break a rule you should always learn it first to make sure your breaking of it is all the more effective!
What is the Rule of Thirds?
The basic principle behind the rule of thirds is to imagine breaking an image down into thirds (both horizontally and vertically) so that you have 9 parts. As follows.
As you’re taking an image you would have done this in your mind through your viewfinder or in the LCD display that you use to frame your shot.
With this grid in mind the ‘rule of thirds’ now identifies four important parts of the image that you should consider placing points of interest in as you frame your image.
Not only this - but it also gives you four ‘lines’ that are also useful positions for elements in your photo.
The theory is that if you place points of interest in the intersections or along the lines that your photo becomes more balanced and will enable a viewer of the image to interact with it more naturally. Studies have shown that when viewing images that people’s eyes usually go to one of the intersection points most naturally rather than the center of the shot - using the rule of thirds works with this natural way of viewing an image rather than working against it.

Sealed off when JCPenney opened in 1992, the third level retains many original elements from the Gimbel's/Stern's days. Used for storage during JCP's tenure, only a small corner remained for the management offices and employee break rooms.
The third generation of the Toyota Yaris is on sale in Europe since 2011. Last year the model was facelifted for the second time. This is a hybrid version, the smallest one in Toyota's line-up as the Prius C in not sold here.
The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would. - Wiki
Craft School, The Hague - Scheveningen, NL, designed by J. Duiker in 1930-1931. Restored in 1998 to a multi-company building with 22 units.
Technical school, formerly the Third Craft School, consisting of rectangular staggered building masses of three storey's, partly basement, under flat roofs. The ideas of the Nieuwe Zakelijkheid or Modernism, break the concept of the closed façade wall and create a completely new architecture with large glass surfaces where inner and outer space penetrate each other. The wall surfaces to be completed are closed where necessary to heights that are functionally determined in relation to the activities behind the façade.
The carrying frame is made of reinforced concrete. The façades consist of, among other things, cavity walls. The outer leaf is poured concrete on the spot and the inner leaf is made of floating stone. The skeleton and inner and outer walls have been plastered; the different materials, textures and seams, are this stucco layer is made into a continuous skin. The plinth around the building is dark and changes in height. Clarity and practical room layout determine the interior with centrally located stairwell and continuous corridors with on either side at right angles or parallel to them classrooms. The toilets are projected with each classroom. The wardrobe and the bicycle parking are central and can be checked from the porter's lodge.
The building has 21 classrooms; the local dimensions form the basis for the measurement method (a column distance of 8 x 8 meters) of the design. The dimensions are of three types: 8x8, 8x13 and 8x16 meters. The concrete skeleton allows the placement of large glass surfaces. The classrooms and other rooms receive their light via steel windows with horizontal rod distribution with narrow profiles and steel façades with glass on the corridor sides. The arrival of light in the hall is achieved through large areas of glass building blocks.
The school building was very much in line with the modern ideas of upbringing and well-being from that time, which were strongly oriented towards health and hygiene. An open floor plan with large glass surfaces where light and air can penetrate to a large extent translate these ideals into architecture. Cultural-historical significance as a school building that expresses in its design the modern views on upbringing and well-being in the thirties. Architecturally important as a representative and rare example of a school building in the style of the Nieuwe Zakelijkheid or Modernism.
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta
The Ferrari 250 GTO is widely recognized as one of the greatest Ferraris ever built, winning the World Championship for GT cars in 1962, 1963 and 1964. This example one of 36 built, was third overall at Le Mans in 1962 and third overall in the Tour de France that year, and it won numerous hill climbs in Europe from 1962 through 1964.
The Wheeling Intelligencer published on Wednesday, July 15th, 1908:
An historic landmark, probably one of the most important remaining in West Virginia, has been removed. The demolition of the Betty Zane cabin, located on Market alley, between Main and Market streets, was completed yesterday, negotiations for the purchase of the place by the local chapter of the Daughters and Sons of the Revolution having fallen flat.
Offers to Mr Feinler were far below the value of the ground occupied by the historic old cabin. It is understood that a number of offers were made by private parties who hoped to secure the property and sell it to the City or state for a large sum.
Many public spirited citizens of Wheeling extensively discussed the advisability of purchasing the property and presenting it to the city to be retained and preserved as a memorial of Wheeling’s early days and the stirring times of Indian warfares. Their offer for the property, however, is said to have been, far below its real value.
Work is soon to he started on a handsome new brick structure that is to replace the old relic.
The famous old building will not be lost to history, however, as M.r Feinler has artfully stored away the logs and in fact every visage of the structure. Many additional relics, bearing out the theory that it was without doubt the original Betty Zane cabin or “powder house,” were discovered when the workmen were excavating in the crude foundations.
Mr. Feinler will begin work on the new building as soon as practicable. It will be a three-story brick structure. The first floor will be used as a business house, and the second and third for flats. The plans will be prepared by Architect Leiner. The brickwork contract has been awarded to Contractor Hamilton and the woodwork will be done by McDonald Brothers.
**************************
On Saturday, May 18th, 1946, the Intelligencer further reported:
Wheeling’s early history is inseparably tied up with Betty Zane’s girlish heroics and one Andrew Christian Maximilian Hess, is seeing to it that the remaining vestige of her sojourn here are preserved for posterity.
When it became known that the logs from the original Betty Zane cabin, which stood for years and years in the Stone & Thomas alley, were stored in an old residence in North Wheeling; a house that was to be razed for the building materials it contained, Andrew bought them and turned them over to Oglebay Park.
The timbers are about 18 inches wide and four inches thick and are excellently preserved, being of walnut. Just what disposition of them will be made at the park is not determined at this time, but they will likely be utilized in a special Betty Zane room for one of the buildings on Oglebay’s blueprints for the future. There are too few of the Zane logs to reconstruct a complete cabin. During the years, some of the cabin’s original logs were used for making gavels for various organizations.
**************************
In the July 2, 1976, Bicentennial edition of the Wheeling News-Register/Intelligencer, the newspaper reported:
"The cabin, located in Stone's Alley, was dismantled about 1910, the logs stored by Mrs. Gibson Caldwell, later by Andrew C. M. Hess. They were presented to Oglebay Park when Wilson Lodge was built and today are an integral part of the Betty Zane room there."
