Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, is a United States National Park located in the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi on the island of Hawaiʻi. It encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive volcano. The park gives scientists insight into the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and ongoing studies into the processes of vulcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna.
In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 2000 the name was changed by the Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000 observing the Hawaiian spelling.
The park includes 323,431 acres (505.36 sq mi; 1,308.88 km2) of land. Over half of the park is designated the Hawaii Volcanoes Wilderness area and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the Earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet (4,169 m). Climates range from lush tropical rain forests, to the arid and barren Kaʻū Desert.
Active eruptive sites include the main caldera of Kīlauea and a more active but remote vent called Puʻu ʻŌʻō.
The main entrance to the park is from the Hawaii Belt Road. The Chain of Craters Road, as the name implies, leads past several craters from historic eruptions to the coast. It used to continue to another entrance to the park near the town of Kalapana, but that portion is now covered by a lava flow.

Today's launch of the war of aggression against Iran is yet another chapter in a series of serious violations of international law. In a display of obvious megalomania, the US leadership has christened its military strike ‘Operation Epic Fury’. In just a few days, it will become clear that ‘decapitation strikes’ cannot force the Iranian leadership to surrender!

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic Giorgia Meloni, who is on a visit to our country.
Welcoming the Italian delegation headed by the Prime Minister to Kyiv, the Head of State called the meeting significant as it takes place on the eve of the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Russia, the year of our invincibility, joint defense against Russian terror and joint efforts to restore stability and security in Europe.
"Italy and Ukraine share a common vision of the value of peace. Ukrainians and Italians are among those nations that especially cherish life, cherish family, kinship and the opportunity to be with their loved ones. That is why we are striving together to stop the Russian terror as soon as possible, to stop this absolutely unprovoked and aggressive war of Russia against the people of Ukraine," the President said.

An exquisitely restored stone farmhouse situated among the rolling hills, fields, and vineyards of the Gaillac region of southern France, “La Bourthoumarie” is just a few kilometers from the lovely historic village of Cordes sur Ciel.
Written up in several European travel guides, “La Bourthoumarie” features four bedrooms, two covered outdoor dining areas, a 10-meter pool with large terrace, lovely gardens, and incredible views. The large rooms are flooded with natural light and contain fireplaces, original terra cotta tiled floors, and traditional exposed wood beam ceilings.
The well-equipped kitchen opens to a covered breakfast terrace, which is in fact the restored bread oven. A large, three-arched, attached barn houses a second outdoor dining area and barbecue.
A wide, gently spiraling, wood-and-iron staircase leads to the upper two floors, which contain four spacious bedrooms — two with double beds and private bathrooms and two with twin beds and a shared bathroom. Original wood floors contribute to the light and airy ambiance.
The beautifully landscaped ten-meter by five-meter pool is naturally chlorinated by an electrolysis system.
An hour from Toulouse, “La Bourthoumarie” offers an ideal setting to unwind or to explore the ancient and historic Gaillac appellation wine region and its fascinating medievale ‘bastide’ villages, including Cordes sur Ciel, which boasts lovely shops and restaurants, including one with a coveted Michelin star. The town of Albi, with its famous fortified cathedral and renowned Toulouse Lautrec museum, is nearby. The Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts are only a few hours away, as are the Pyrenees.
Adventures and activities abound for adults and children alike, including biking, tennis, golf, canoeing, rock climbing, and fishing.

“True Value” —the first exhibition by Theaster Gates (Chicago, 1973) in Milan— brings together a selection of existing works and new commissions in two different spaces at Fondazione Prada.
The Cisterna features works in which the artist explores habitual, everyday things, immersed in the most evocative Black aesthetics. Gates operates on the conviction that everyday objects convey a deep understanding, not only intrinsic to their material aspect, but reminiscent of the experiences in which they have been immersed. In that sense, discarded materials involving collective memories constitute the catalyst for a political and aesthetic reflection on cultural renewal and social activism. Fire hoses used against demonstrators during the US Civil Rights movements in the 1960s or gym floors from dozens high schools closed and fallen into oblivion, swept under an unbeatable neoliberal economic agenda, turned into artworks in which formalism is not just a mere visual factor. This transformative ethos, from which a symbolic universal value emanates, is key in Gates’s practice. These everyday objects, together with other items and elements referencing more ritualistic and spiritual experiences, shape the proposal offered to the public in the Cisterna.
On the first floor of the Podium, Gates hosts True Value (2016) —the installation after which the exhibition is named— which presents his rendition of an abandoned hardware store. True Value gathers materials, objects and tools removed from their original context and relocated in an art environment, deploying a framework to formulate a poetic and pragmatic space around objects of trade and human relationships those economic and labour exchanges create.
The exhibition is a further opportunity to explore certain nearby cultural and commercial entities, observing local stories, socio-political patterns, and economically and culturally under-explored communities in the hope of setting in motion a new cartography through which to visit and engage an overlooked Milan. Lastly, in a space in the likes of an artist’s studio or craftsman’s workshop, artworks created throughout the duration of the show will be on display.
The exhibition spaces will host a series of public meetings, titled “True Value in conversation”, by means of debates and readings. The first meeting will be held on the first floor of the Podium Thursday 7 July at 6 pm and will open with a gathering between Theaster Gates, Elvira Dyangani Ose and Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York. Notably known for exhibitions such as “Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art” (2014) and the 1993 edition of the Whitney Biennial, Thelma Golden will join the artist and the curator of the show “True Value” to discuss art and its capacity to transform institutions, history re-writing and social practice. Admission is free. Complimentary tickets can be collected at the ticket desk from 5.30 pm.
Gates’s practice embraces a wide range of disciplines and a variety of artistic vocabularies – sculpture, painting, installation art, music and performance – as well as urban development and social practice. Starting on the South Side of Chicago, St Louis and Omaha where his first initiatives on art and social activism took place, Gates has subsequently advised individuals and organizations in other US cities (Detroit, Akron, and Gary, to name just a few) on how to conceive and carry out initiatives aiming to regenerate deprived urban areas by merging pragmatism and creativity, urban planning and “artistic gestures”. Internationally, Gates has also reflected on the capacity of art to renew traditions, upraise connectivity among communities or set up dialogues and exchange cultural heritage among cities through his projects, such as those in Istanbul, Bristol or Kassel. Some of his propositions have generated solid institutions, such as the Rebuild Foundation. Gates holds a chair at the Department of Visual Arts at Chicago University where he supervises the Arts and Public Life program.

Now on Amazon: Zondervan King James Version Gift & Award Bible (KJV AV Outreach Bible) with Trinitarian Bible Society Bible Word List and Romans Road Tract

Total retail value: $7.64.
ITEMS
#1 MAIN ITEM. King James Version Gift and Award Bible (also known as Gift & Award Bible, King James Version) by Zondervan Publishing House (2011).
Amazon reviewer David M. Hodges describes Zondervan's King James Version Gift and Award Bible and its potential usefulness as follows:
The best way to characterize this Bible is as a paperback outreach Bible inside a firmer-than-paperback cover made to look vaguely like leather (the publisher, Zondervan, calls this a "Leather-Look binding." If you're looking for an outreach Bible to give away, but you'd like something that looks a little better than the paperback outreach Bibles, this product may be what you're looking for. (But be aware that the pages inside still look and feel like those in a mass market paperback.) Though the maps, dictionary, and other "Bible Study Helps" would hardly suffice for a serious (expensive) Bible, they do help make this a better-than-standard just-for-outreach Bible. (www.amazon.com/review/R2WDINZ88F4U08/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm, accessed 15 October 2012)
Other Amazon reviews (two posted as of the start of this sale, www.amazon.com/King-James-Version-Award-Bible/product-rev..., accessed 15 October 2012) indicate that the Bible gets high marks as a gift/award Bible for children. (Note that the Bible in this sale are black, not purple.) Though the seller rarely interacts with children, he notes this as an additional use for the Bible (Zondervan's primary intended use, one guesses) in case it is of interest to some buyers.
A final seller's note: The text is small but legible (see scan; though the scan is not sharp throughout, it does give you an accurate idea of what the text looks like).

BAKOKO took part in "Tokyo Diversity", an exhibition at 3331 Arts Chiyoda highlighting the creative contributions made by Tokyo's international community.
The value of a building is typically measured by floor area (price per square meter). Since usable floor space is at a premium in dense cities like Tokyo, not enough areas for living plants and vegetation are set aside within urban developments. However, plants add tremendous value to our surroundings. They filter the air we breathe; shade us during hot summer months; foster biodiversity; as well as surrounding us with lush visual beauty.
Vertical walls of vegetation offer the most practical method of integrating large planted areas without sacrificing significant floor area. Moreover, walls and other vertical surfaces are ever-present in our field of vision as we walk within or around buildings.
While green curtains are a familiar sight outside Japanese school buildings (such as 3331 Arts Chiyoda), this installation investigates the potential to create a very lightweight and low-cost interior green curtain that can be hung in any home, office, or public building. This is a living room in the most literal sense. These hanging plants can continue living year-round without soil. They require little maintenance except for regular spray of water.
The living room is made of Spanish Moss (Tillandsia Usneoides) which belongs to the bromeliad family. It is not a moss, but actually an epiphyte - a plant that lives upon other plants; from Greek (“epi”=upon “phyte”=plant). Its natural habitat extends from South America to the Southeastern United States where it famously hangs from oak and cypress trees.
Having no roots, the plant absorbs all nutrients and moisture from the air and rainwater. Spanish moss propagates both by seed and vegetatively by fragments that blow in the wind or get carried by birds as nesting material, eventually becoming entangled in tree branches.

We live in a hyper-technological society in which family life is failing, a world where we can learn anything except how to be parents; how to raise children with values and limits, how to say No more often, how to discipline them.
It is said that we must raise children in freedom. No demands on them. Let them dictate their own rules and do as they please. These are well-intentioned mistakes whose consequences we are paying for daily: children and adolescents who run away, commit suicide, kill and drug themselves.
The absence of the mother in the home and the weakening of fatherly authority have become a central issue of a daily reality that threatens to destroy the family as an institution. Alone, in front of a computer our children grow up in a state of emotional emptiness. Consequently, they do not grow up. Christina Balinotti provides an enlightening handbook designed to show mothers (and fathers) how to lead and strengthen the family. It is a defense of the most important and significant event of human experience: parenthood.
Christina Balinotti is an Argentine author and lecturer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences with graduate studies in Psychology including three years of special studies in Philosophy and Literature in her native Buenos Aires. She also has ample knowledge in the field of quantum physics.
She has resided in Miami since the year 2000, where she works as an international analyst on TV and Radio, investigating the crimes and suicides of our young people and their relationship to maternal absence during a child’s early years in this and in other developed societies.
Through her Foundation, Holistic Femininity, Christina Balinotti organizes conferences and annual workshops at several Florida universities (FIU, UM, SUAGM) as well as in important venues in Miami for the purpose of educating women in the essential recovery of family values and in the pathways of holistic femininity, all free of charge.
In 2013 she hosted a radio show at Radio Nova Internacional as well as a weekly TV Show at Telemiami in which she, together with other professionals, including sociologists, historians and psychologists, analyzed the role of women in Western cultures. Proud mother and grandmother.
