Radici - Questo è il significato della parola “Taricata” nel dialetto di San Vito dei Normanni (BR) città che ha dato i Natali a questa storica formazione salentina e luogo di nascita della ormai famosa “Pizzica ti Santu Vitu” che dal 1977 il gruppo porta in giro e fa conoscere per l’Italia e l’Europa. In concerto la Taricata, formata da ben tre generazioni di musicisti, sintetizza l’intenso lavoro di ricerca svolto nei trent’anni di attività partendo dalla propria tradizione e arrivando a coprire l'intera area del sud Italia proponendo un repertorio di musiche e canti tradizionali spesso rielaborati ma che conservano la propria natura popolare. Nello stesso tempo il gruppo vanta una vasta “collezione” di nuove composizioni che testimoniano la continua crescita musicale maturata nei lunghi anni di esperienza collettiva, ma soprattutto dei singoli componenti: sonorità tipiche della Terra del Salento si fondono perciò sapientemente con quelle dell’intera area mediterranea e non solo. Ciò è possibile anche grazie alla vasta gamma di suoni che caratterizza l’ensemble che unisce agli strumenti più tradizionali (tamburello, mandolino, organetto, zampogna) altri provenienti da varie parti del mondo e stili musicali. Tutto questo contribuisce a regalare performances di alto godimento musicale che hanno l’obbiettivo di soddisfare i “palati” più vari e soprattutto quello di coinvolgere il pubblico con tanto terapeutico (o catartico) movimento.
Migliaia sono i palchi e i luoghi che hanno visto protagonisti i Taricata sia in Italia che all’estero; numerose le iniziative nelle scuole con laboratori, corsi, conferenze; qualche passaggio in RAI, tv private e radio e realizzazione di corti e documentari (ultimi quelli a cura di Romeo Conte - “Dediche di un viandante del Sud” - e “Amavete” della regista Anna Maria Gallone).
Molte anche le collaborazioni e le esperienze con diversi ed importanti personaggi del panorama musicale come Roberto Pregadio, Inti Illimani, Silvana Licursi, Eugenio Bennato, Daniele Sepe, Gianfranco Degli Esperti, e non, ad esempio Edoardo de Filippo, Yoice Lussu, Barbora Bobulova, Baldin Ahmad, Fuad Aziz.
La realizzazione di 5 incisioni musicali, l’ultima è un CD live dal titolo“Pizzica Nova” - testimonia l’intenso lavoro svolto in questi 30 anni dal gruppo sanvitese che in questi mesi è impegnato, oltre alla normale attività concertistica, nella realizzazione di un nuovo lavoro discografico che sarà seguito, in un prossimo futuro, dalla stesura di un volume che ripercorre la storia del gruppo nel trentennale e che conterrà una raccolta completa di testi e partiture dei brani tradizionali e di composizione che la Taricata ha inciso ed eseguito fino ad oggi.
I Taricata sono: Mario Ancora, fisarmonica, organetto, chitarra, mandolino - Mario Leo: voce - Lorenzo Caiolo: conduzione - Franco Gagliani: mandolino, mandola, chitarra battente - Silvana Gagliani: voce - Giuliana Gagliani: voce - Salvatore Ancora: basso, contrabbasso - Vincenzo Gagliani: tamburello, percussioni - Stefania Ancora: danza, voce - Fabio Di Viesto: chitarra - Fabrizio Nigro: Danza - Piero Errico: tamburello, percussioni - Adama Zoungrana: percussioni - Daniel Bulgaru: clarinetto, sax, bombardino - Nico Berardi (ospite): zampogna, quena, chitarra, charango.

This relaxed piece of recreation at the time has stuck in my mind and has changed my overall approach to my images.

Very enjoyable slide-making workshop (without camera) at the star and shadow. Slides deconstructed, attacked, reassembled from whatever is around and projected on the cinema screens. Followed by some hardcore Miles Davis and some projector freestyling......niiiiiiiice.
Usha
Born 1952 in Sofia. Working experience as a professional photographer since 1974.
Teaching Experimental photography at the National Secondary School for Culture-Sofia-1993, New Bulgarian University and National Academy of Theater and Cinema Arts-1993,97,98, National Art School-2004,05
Deals with experimental photography projects and performances in Bulgaria, Central/Western Europe and Japan.
1. The Photography as a Game
The aim of work-shop is to increase the creative potency of
photography as a visual means of expression. Making slides from available articles as well as used ones is a task that is "unlock" the creative mind and imagination for new challenges and gives an opportunity for various interpretations such as photographic negative, projection and video.
2 Work-shop process
The students are making hand made slides which they can see on the wall right after their results. When the picture comes from two projectors the slides are transfusing each to other and it creates a motion. Thus the video records of the moving pictures could be used as an additional space installation. On the other hand each one produced piece can be materialized as a print or negative.

Ferrari Ownership Requirements 12/7/2020
To own a Ferrari would fulfill the fantasy of many car enthusiasts. The famous Italian automaker excels in delivering luxury sports cars that bear a signature and unique exterior without sacrificing performance. This is only half of what makes the cars special though.
Ferrari's culture separates the company from other automakers in huge ways, affecting both its owners and the workers behind these miraculous machines. Although the company is one of the most valuable, it cares about something more than just earning money: it’s about making special cars that offer a driving experience unlike any other. When examining the company and its owners, it’s clear they’ve achieved this milestone, even after all these years.
Owners have to go to great lengths if they want the latest and greatest cars Ferrari churns out. Employees have to follow rules and regulations if they want to uphold the most important thing to Ferrari—which is not about making cars, but the brand itself. Whether one is a Ferrari owner or an employee that works at their factory plant, everyone has to follow the "Ferrari code."
It’s because of these rules that the brand is exclusive and widely coveted among car gurus today. If someone wants to own a Ferrari, they’re going to have to play by the company’s rules. The same goes for employees if they want to work at, what Autoblog notes, a company that won the award for Best Place to Work in Europe for 2007. We’re going to take a look at known rules both owners and employees have to follow if they want to remain in the good graces of Ferrari.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 - Owner Rule: Forced To Sign Contract Agreeing Not To Sell Car
People today become bombarded with agreements written in fine print. Most people don’t have the time or patience to read all that agreements detail though and decide to sign on the line regardless. According to Autoweek, Ferrari in the US makes their customers sign a contract upon purchasing a new vehicle.
In that agreement is a clause that prevents owners from reselling their car in the first year. The automaker makes buyers sign this in an attempt to discourage owners from flipping their cars. This is both a reminder to read the fine print and further demonstrates the automaker’s stringent protocol placed upon new owners.
19 - Employee Rule: Forbidden From Buying New Cars
Last September, Ferrari unveiled a pair of Roadsters long-time employees can appreciate. Even if the employees want the cars though and can afford them—tough luck. The Drive reports that the company makes their vehicles first and foremost available to the public.
One of Ferrari’s executives, Enrico Galliera, had this to say about employees getting second dibs on new cars: “The philosophy is that with such limited production and clients waiting so long to get their car, it's not nice if the car is delivered to employees.” The only exception to this rule are Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers who can buy one from the company.
18 - Owner Rule: Leave The Logos Alone
Ferrari believes that as soon as their car rolls off the production line, it's perfect as is. There’s no shortage of Ferrari owners who feel differently though; here’s photographic proof of owners who took their Ferrari rides for granted. If Ferrari had it their way, they’d opt for owners to leave their iconic logos untouched.
According to Tech Dirt, the electronic DJ and artist Deadmau5 got in trouble for covering up his Ferrari logos with custom ones. His 458 Italia “Purrari” sports a blue vinyl wrap that has a Nyan cat painted on the side. It’s a move Ferrari supposedly issued a cease and desist order over.
17 - Employee Rule: Communicate On Their Terms
Ferrari has gone to extremes to sell cars before by tampering with some odometers on used cars, so it’s only natural they’d apply radical policies in the workplace as well. It appears that too many employees were reaching for the keyboard on too many occasions instead of opting for old fashioned face-to-face communication.
According to The Guardian, the executives at Ferrari advised their employees to “talk to each other more and write less.” Since it should be pretty easy for supervisors to monitor their employees’ computer activity, it's safe to assume workers adhere to this directive in order to stick around.
16 - Owner Rule: No Pink Ferraris
Ferrari isn’t fond of pink Ferraris. That’s what Executive Lifestyle reports, despite the company tolerating some customer paint jobs. The disapproval of pink came directly from Herbert Appleroth, the President and CEO of Ferrari Australia. “We do reject the exterior color pink,” Appleroth said, as per the same source.
He went on to say that Ferrari would never produce a pink car. Without a doubt, red is the most iconic color they wrap their cars in. At the same time, the company promotes the idea that no two Ferrari rides should be identical, they just wouldn't go so far as to stand out with a pink paint job.
15 - Employee Rule: No Discounts On Cars
Working for certain companies has its perks. For one, it allows employees to buy products made and sold by that company at a discounted rate. This luxury, however, is too generous to bestow upon Ferrari employees.
According to The Drive, should Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers choose to purchase a personal Ferrari, they're required to pay full price for it. That puts them in an awkward position, considering it’d be hard to spot team members driving in anything else but a Ferrari; in a way, it forces their employees to invest back into the company without a price concession if they want to properly represent the brand.
14 - Owner Rule: Accept Ferrari’s Right To Buy Back Car
In an earlier entry, we noted that Ferrari in the US has made buyers sign a special contract. While that contract discouraged owners from selling their new Ferrari, it also adds another stipulation: the automaker can buy the vehicle back.
According to the site Car Keys, if someone wanted to get rid of their LaFerrari Aperta, it’s pursuant for Ferrari to purchase the vehicle back from the owner. It would appear that on the surface, Ferrari would rather the car go to someone who wants it instead of someone who doesn't. This is all part of that special contract owners may sign at the time of their purchase.
13 - Employee Rule: Sworn To Prevent Security Leaks
Whether someone is an actor in an upcoming Avengers movie or an employee at Apple, the bigwigs in charge want to keep details under lock and key—that includes any plot spoilers and future product releases. Ferrari is a similar company that’s always making new vehicles while wishing to work in secrecy.
To maintain a level of mystery, the whole operation depends on trustworthy employees. According to Kaspersky Lab Daily, something as simple as copying data to a USB drive has to go through an approval process. This in turn discourages employees from going routes that may lead to a security breach and exercises a higher level of caution.
12 - Owner Rule: Must Love The Ferrari Brand
The world is full of sides, clubs and camps. Those who are outside of them get picked on unless they join a team, while those inside a base pledge undying loyalty. Ferrari is no different. It’s more than just an automaker—it’s a special culture with its own philosophy, style and following.
As the site Car Guy points out, the company sifts through applicants and chooses who gets to buy certain models because they want to make sure their cars are properly taken care of. It’s a sure bet they’re going to pick someone who’s not just a Ferrari fan, but also lives and bleeds the brand.
11 - Employee Rule: Prohibited From Sending Certain Group Emails
Expanding further on an earlier point, Ferrari went to great lengths to crack down on employees emailing more instead of talking to each other. As a means to curb digital communication so that employees would talk to each other directly, they added terms to sending emails.
As per The Guardian, a spokesman for Ferrari said, “From now on, each Ferrari employee will only be able to send the same email to three people in-house.” This must have been a wake up call for employees at the time and discouraged them from falling into old habits of CCing everyone in the whole company on a single thread.
10 - Owner Rule: Buy Not One, Not Two, But Multiple Ferraris
Owning a Ferrari isn’t exactly enough to be a part of the club. As the site Car Guypoints out, it’s more suitable to own several Ferrari cars before one feels part of the bunch. That narrows down the list of potential owners to only a handful around the world with how much they cost.
Even older models are going up in value, as the 1964 Ferrari Prototype demonstrates. The same source points out that the most committed owners, at minimum, are the ones who upgrade their old Ferrari to a newer model. It’s not enough to purchase a one-off Ferrari and call it a day if someone wants to be a true fan.
9 - Employee Rule: Required To Wear Red And White Uniforms
An amusement park can make its employees wear costumes that match the park’s theme; a restaurant may have its employees wear a vest and bow tie; an office requires business casual attire. Ferrari is like most jobs, requiring its employees adhere to a dress code.
According to Freep, those on the manufacturing campus must wear red and white uniforms. They have the company’s iconic yellow logo stitched on, which unites all the employees under the same banner and purpose. There are plenty of people around the world who would love to wear these uniforms, but only a select number ever get to suit up in one.
8 - Owner Rule: Be Older Than 40
Despite Ferrari being one of the most famous car brands today, many people aren’t aware of its history or the automaker's philosophy. There are so many facts about the legendary automaker, we dedicated a whole piece to things most people don't know about Ferrari.
It’s not unusual for potential owners to go through a rigorous process that feels commensurate to a background check. According to the site Car Keys, automaker won’t hesitate to request a customer’s history of ownership for review. Even more, the same source suggests that Ferrari dealers are more likely to sell a car to a new owner who’s over the age of 40.
7 - Employee Rule: Formula 1 Team Must Win
When Scuderia Ferrari struggles, it affects the whole company. The site News.com.au reports that despite being the "most iconic team” in Formula 1 racing, Ferrari was unable to secure a Grand Prix win in 2016. The team only has one remedy when this happens: winning.
As F1-Fansite points out, they were able to bounce back in early 2017, with Vettel winning the first race and securing 5 race wins. The Formula 1 team not only represents the automaker but carries the pride of the entire brand. It’s important that they do well in order for the brand to continue thriving.
6 - Owner Rule: Treat Fellow Ferrari Owners Like Family
Buying a car from certain automakers, such as Tesla, Porsche or Ferrari, feels like joining a family. When someone purchases a Ferrari, they enter into a brotherhood and sisterhood alongside fellow owners. As the site the Car Guy notes, entering into the Ferrari fraternity means that owners help each other when the need arises.
This is one of those unspoken rules the automaker hopes and expects its customers will follow. Even outsiders who don’t own one may find it easy to support someone who does as an expression of their admiration towards the brand. Ferrari owners got to stick together.
5 - Employee Rule: Must Adopt The “Formula Uomo” Philosophy
The company not only cares about its customers, but its employees too. They recognize that these are the people that make it all possible. Autoblog reports that Ferrari launched a project called “Formula Uomo” in the 1990s which lays down many of the tenants employees live and breathe by.
The same source notes that this philosophy deals with the working conditions, one’s professional growth and personal benefits. Each individual is important and must embody these principles in order for the whole enterprise to work properly. As a Ferrari employee, “Formula Uomo” lays the groundwork for one’s success while working there.
4 - Owner Rule: Must Have Fame, Fortune And More
To own some of the world’s best supercars, all it takes is a lot of dough. If that wasn’t enough though, Ferrari raises the bar on what they expect from their owners. Part of what makes their cars so exclusive are the limited number they make. Take the LaFerrari for example, which Wired reports only 499 exist.
In order for their cars to get attention, they have to give them to owners who can not only afford them but put them in the spotlight. The same source notes that even high-profile buyers who applied for the vehicle weren't able to land one.
3 - Employee Rule: “Clients First”
Ferrari cares about its customers. The company doesn’t treat its clientele as a dollar sign—although they do get a lot of money for the cars they deliver—but instead seeks to make a bond with its owners. The company is like a father who’s entrusted his child with the keys to the treasured car.
They want to know their cars are in good hands, which is possible through respect. That’s why they make clients a priority. The Drive reports that Enrico Galliera, a Ferrari executive said, “It is clients first.” Behind those words is a whole company of employees who live by this aim.
2 - Owner Rule: Respect Ferrari’s Way Of Doing Things
No one likes obeying rules. If there’s a realm with enough rules as it is, it’s driving on the road. The last thing people want is more rules they have to follow as a car owner. Under the Ferrari umbrella though, there are lots of expectations one has to follow as an owner.
That means going with their unique way of doing things. The site Car Keys reports that the automaker’s politics, including their selection process for who they deem is eligible to purchase limited edition cars, is one such rule owners have to follow. It may not be easy to accept, but it’s part of playing the game.
1 - Employee Rule: Protect The Brand At All Times
Ferrari has managed to be an independent automaker over the years while still making loads of money. Part of what makes them so successful is the brand’s reputation, which is about making flawless cars that perform well.
One of the executives, Stefano Lai, as per Freep said, “My job ... is to protect the brand as much as possible.” This is a principal that trickles down to employees, affecting their conduct and the image they project in and out of the workplace. Many employees likely have the Ferrari logo on them throughout the day, making them an extension of the company wherever they go. That means they have to watch what they say and do since they represent the company’s image.

Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontiers) came to San Francisco with a travelling exhibit on life in a refugee camp. They set up examples of what they would provide in terms of food, shelter, medical care and sanitation facilities.
This is an example of what kinds of shelters MSF sets up in refugee camps. This can be considered a pretty nice one, since a lot of them are usually just plastic sheeting supported by a few poles.

La Grande Moschea di Cordova, oggi Cattedrale di Santa Maria di Cordova, è una delle principali espressioni dell'arte arabo-islamica e dell'architettura gotica e rinascimentale dell'Andalusia. È con l'Alhambra di Granada, la Aljafería di Saragozza e la Giralda di Siviglia la più prestigiosa testimonianza della presenza islamica in Spagna dall'VIII secolo al XIII secolo. La costruzione sorge sul sito in cui si ergeva l'antica chiesa visigotica di San Vincenzo, non lontana dal Guadalquivir. Quando i musulmani occuparono Cordova nel 711 la chiesa fu inizialmente suddivisa e utilizzata contemporaneamente da musulmani e cristiani. Successivamente l'emiro ʿAbd al-Rahmān I fece demolire la chiesa cristiana e intraprese la costruzione della Grande Moschea. Essa fu ingrandita tre volte dai suoi successori (ʿAbd al-Rahmān II 833-48; al-Hakam II 962-966; ʿAbd al-Rahmān III 929-958; Almanzor 988), finendo per coprire 23.000 m² e diventare la più grande moschea del mondo musulmano di quel tempo dopo quella di Sāmarrāʾ.
Si presenta al giorno d'oggi con la forma di un grande quadrilatero di circa 180 m di lunghezza per 130 m di larghezza, con 19 navate e 856 colonne sormontate da capitelli in stili diversi. Sulle colonne si appoggiano delle arcate doppie in mattoni e pietra bianca (sovrapposte l'una sull'altra con uno spazio intermedio) che permettono di avere un soffitto molto alto e donano all'edificio un'impressione di leggerezza. Il miḥrāb non è orientato verso la Ka'ba della Mecca ma verso sud.
L'edificio iniziale, cominciato nel 785 da ʿAbd al-Raḥmān I, comprendeva un cortile quadrato (il patio de los naranjos) circondato da un muro di cinta sul quale si apriva in tutto il suo splendore la sala di preghiera, di forma rettangolare, composta da undici navate, ciascuna avente dodici arcate, disposte di fronte al cortile. Le navate erano separate da eleganti colonne di marmo di diversa provenienza (tra cui edifici romani a Cordova e la preesistente chiesa visigota).
Accanto al muro di cinta, sul lato opposto della sala di preghiera, si trova il minareto. Hishām I fece realizzare parecchie ristrutturazioni interne: le gallerie destinate alle donne che venivano a pregare e una vasca per le abluzioni. La lunghezza delle arcate fu successivamente raddoppiata da ʿAbd al-Raḥmān II nel 848 e allungata un'ultima volta da al-Ḥakam II nel 961. In entrambi i casi l'allungamento delle navate avvenne sul lato opposto all'entrata principale e per questo motivo il miḥrāb, anch'esso collocato sul quel lato, dovette essere ogni volta ricostruito. Quello attuale, montato con l'aiuto di artisti bizantini, è un'enorme cupola monolitica in marmo bianco superbamente decorato.
Nel 987 Almanzor volle aumentare ancora la superficie della sala, ma la vicinanza al fiume impedì il proseguimento dell'allungamento delle undici campate nella stessa direzione. Vennero pertanto aggiunte otto arcate supplementari sul lato est dell'edificio (quasi raddoppiandone l'estensione) e il mihrāb fu collocato in una posizione centrale. In quel momento la moschea contava 1293 colonne.
Quando Cordova fu riconquistata dai cristiani, nel 1236, la moschea fu convertita in cattedrale. L'apertura tra il cortile e la sala di preghiera fu murata, conservando una sola porta d'entrata (la Puerta de las Palmas). Inoltre vennero abbattute alcune file di colonne per lasciar libero lo spazio per la Cappella Reale decorata con stucchi mudejar.
Nel XVI secolo il clero di Cordova decise di dotare la città di un edificio molto più sontuoso e alla moda del tempo. Il progetto consisteva nella demolizione di una parte importante del centro dell'edificio, rompendo la prospettiva della foresta di colonne, e l'inserimento al suo posto di una cattedrale cristiana. Di per sé la cattedrale è una meraviglia architettonica che fonde gli stili gotico, rinascimentale e barocco con magnifiche decorazioni, ma può far rimpiangere che abbia perduto unitarietà l'eccezionale edificio costruito originariamente dai musulmani.
Il progetto fu inizialmente contrastato e oggetto di forti polemiche e soltanto dopo l'intercessione dell'imperatore Carlo V ne fu avviata la costruzione. È però riportato da J. B. Alderete che lo stesso Carlo V successivamente disse: avete distrutto una cosa unica al mondo e avete messo al suo posto qualcosa che si può vedere dappertutto. Fu probabilmente grazie all'inserimento della cappella cristiana che il monumento poté però sostanzialmente salvarsi dalla furia devastatrice della Chiesa e della nobiltà spagnola, ferocemente ostili al ricordo sia pur minimo di una presenza che aveva per secoli schiacciato la Cristianità iberica in una condizione di grande precarietà politica.
No visit to Cambodia is complete without attending at least one traditional Khmer dance performance, often referred to as 'Apsara Dance' after one of the most popular Classical dance pieces. Traditional Khmer dance is better described as 'dance-drama' in that the dances are not merely dance but are also meant to convey a story or message. There are four main modern genres of traditional Khmer dance: 1) Classical Dance, also known as Court or Palatine Dance (lakhon preah reach troap or lakhon luong); 2) Shadow theater (sbeik thom and sbeik toot); 3) Lakhon Khol (all-male masked dance-drama.); 4) Folk Dance (Ceremonial and Theatrical).
As evidenced in part by the innumerable apsaras (celestial dancers) that adorn the walls of Angkorian and pre-Angkorian temples, dance has been part of Khmer culture for well more than a millennium, though there have been ruptures in the tradition over the centuries, making it impossible to precisely trace the source of the tradition. Much of traditional dance (especially Classical) is inspired by Angkorian-era art and themes, but the tradition has not been passed unbroken from the age of Angkor. Most traditional dances seen today were developed in the 18th through 20th centuries, beginning in earnest with a mid-19th century revival championed by King Ang Duong (reigned 1841-1869). Subsequent Kings and other Khmer Royals also strongly supported the arts and dance, most particularly Queen Sisowath Kossamak Nearireach (retired King Norodom Sihanouk's mother) in the mid-20th century, who not only fostered a resurgence in the study and development of Khmer traditional dance, but also helped move it out of the Palace and popularize it. Queen Sisowath Kossamak trained her grand daughter Princess Bopha Devi in the art of traditional dance from early childhood, who went on to become the face of Khmer traditional dance in the 1950s and 60s both in Cambodia and around the world. Many traditional dances that are seen in performances today were developed and refined between the 1940s and 1960s under the guidance and patronage of Queen Sisowath Kossamak at the Conservatory of Performing Arts and the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh. Almost all of the Theatrical Folk dances that are presented in modern performances were developed during this period. Like so much of Cambodian art and culture, traditional dance was almost lost under the brutal repression of the Khmer Rouge regime of the late 1970s, only to be revived and reconstructed in the 1980s and 90s due, in large part, to the extraordinary efforts of Princess Bopha Devi.
Classical dance, including the famous 'Apsara dance,' has a grounded, subtle, even restrained, yet feather-light, ethereal appearance. Distinct in its ornate costuming, taut posture, arched back and feet, fingers flexed backwards, codified facial expressions, slow, close, deliberate but flowing movements, Classical dance is uniquely Khmer. It presents themes and stories inspired primarily by the Reamker (the Cambodian version of the Indian classic, the Ramayana) and the Age of Angkor.
Folk Dance come in two forms: ceremonial and theatrical. As a general rule, only Theatrical Folk Dance is presented in public performances, with Ceremonial Folk Dances reserved for particular rituals, celebrations and holidays. Theatrical Folk Dances such as the popular Good Harvest Dance and the romantic Fishing Dance are usually adaptations of dances found in the countryside or inspired by rural life and practices. Most of the Theatrical Folk Dances that are seen in performances today were developed at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh in the 1960s as part of an effort to preserve and perpetuate Khmer culture and arts.
Shadow theatre comes in two forms: Sbeik Thom (big puppets that are actually panels depicting certain characters from the story) and Sbeik Toot (small articulated puppets). The black leather puppets are held in front of a light source, either in front or behind a screen, creating a shadow or silhouette effect. Sbeik Thom is the more uniquely Cambodian, more formal of the two types, restricting itself to stories from the Reamker. The performance is accompanied by a pin peat orchestra and narration, and the puppeteers are silent, moving the panels with dance-like movements. Sbeik Toot has a far lighter feel, presenting popular stories of heroes, adventures, love and battles, with or without orchestra and with the puppeteers often doing the narration.
Lakhon Khol is all male masked theatre presenting exclusively stories from the Reamker.
Most dance performances in Siem Reap offer a mixture of Classical and Theatrical Folk dances. A few venues offer Shadow Theater. Many of the dance performances in Siem Reap consist of 4-6 individual dances, often opening with an Apsara Dance, followed by two other Classical dances and two or three Theatrical Folk dances. The Apsara Dance is a Classical dance inspired by the apsara carvings and sculptures of Angkor and developed in the late 1940s by Queen Sisowath Kossamak. Her grand daughter and protégé, Princess Bopha Devi, was the first star of the Apsara Dance. The central character of the dance, the apsara Mera, leads her coterie of apsaras through a flower garden where they partake of the beauty of the garden. The movements of the dance are distinctly Classical yet, as the dance was developed for theatrical presentation, it is shorter and a bit more relaxed and flowing than most Classical dances, making it both an excellent example of the movements, manner and spirit of Classical dance and at the same time particularly accessible to a modern audience unaccustomed to the style and stories of Khmer dance-drama.
Another extremely popular dance included in most traditional dance performances in Siem Reap is the Theatrical Folk Dance known as the 'Fishing Dance.' The Fishing Dance is a playful, energetic folk dance with a strong, easy-to-follow story line. It was developed in the 1960s at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh and was inspired by the developer's interpretation of certain rather idealized and stereotyped aspects aspects of rural life and young love. Clad in rural attire, a group of young men and women fish with rattan baskets and scoops, dividing their attention between work and flirtatious glances. Women are portrayed as hardworking, shy, demurring and coy, whereas the young men are strong, unrestrained, roguish and assertive. As the dance continues a couple is separated from the group allowing the flirtations between them to intensify, only to be spoiled by the male character playing a bit too rough, leading to her coy rejection. He pokes and plays trying to win her back, bringing only further rejection. Eventually he gently apologizes on bended knee and after some effort, draws a smile and her attention once again. Just as they move together, the group returns, startling the couple and evoking embarrassment as they both rush to their 'proper' roles once again. The men and women exit at opposite sides of the stage, leaving the couple almost alone, but under pressure of the groups, they separate, leaving in opposite directions, yet with index finger placed to mouth, hint of a secret promise to meet again. (In an interesting side note, placing one's index finger to the lips to denote quiet or secrecy is not, generally speaking, a gesture found in Cambodia, but is common in the West. Its employment in the dance probably indicates a certain amount of 'foreign influence' amongst the Cambodian choreographers when the dance was developed in the 1960s.)

The Belle 12'' doll standing, supported by a Kaiser stand. She is wearing her pink winter outfit, with her cape off. Her ponytail was a bit messy after taking it out of the hood of the cape, so I combed it to make it as neat as I could. It was curly, and off center. There was a nice pink bow in her hair above the ponytail. The pink and red dress was covered in glitter, which did shed. The half length sleeves had large ruffled cuffs. Belle looks dainty in her pink dress without the cape and hood. I also left out the bluebird in these poses.
Detailed photos of the dolls in the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set, deboxed. They include the 1/6 scale Beast, Belle and Gaston dolls, and the Philippe plush. Beast and Belle are in their winter outfits. I show Beast and Belle both with and without their capes. The bluebird figurine is included with Belle when she has her cape on. Beast is not that stable free standing, so I support him with a Kaiser stand for these photos.
I just got the Beauty and the Beast Deluxe Doll Set ($79.95) from my local Disney Store (on Thursday June 30, 2016). The accessory figures look really detailed and well done. In fact, I like Chip better in this set than the one with the new Classic Belle doll. Also the bluebird looks nicer than the one with the new Classic Snow White. Belle and Beast are in their winter outfits. Belle also has her blue peasant outfit and her yellow ball gown. Beast also has his formal outfit. Philippe is way too small, but is a very cute plush. I like this set way better than the ones for Aladdin or Sleeping Beauty.

For our Camera Club monthly project: September - Black & White.
I noticed these when we were making our way back home from Nottinghamshire and took some photographs through the windscreen of the car as we were approaching the site.
History:
The Clipstone Colliery dates from the early C20 when a new excavation was begun by the Bolsover Colliery Company to exploit the 'Top Hard' coal seam in the vicinity of Clipstone village in Nottinghamshire. The sinking of the pit shaft was interrupted by the First World War, and the development of the colliery site did not resume until 1919. The new colliery was operational by 1922, and went on to become one of the most productive pits in Britain, delivering four thousand tons of coal per day by the 1940s. In the post-War period, the colliery underwent further development to access the Low Main Seam, a deeper seam of coal located almost eight hundred feet below the Top Hard seam. In order to exploit these rich new reserves of coal, a pair of new winding engines were installed to operate the coal and man shafts at the colliery. Two headstocks, linked by a central powerhouse were completed in 1953 to the designs of architects Young and Purves of Manchester. The headstocks were constructed by Head Wrightson Colliery Engineering of Thornaby-on-Tees and Sheffield, whilst the winding engines were manufactured by Markham and Company in Chesterfield.
The engines were 'Koepe' winders, a system of friction winding developed by the German mining engineer Frederick Koepe in the 1870s, and first installed at the Hannover Colliery in Westphalia in 1877. The Koepe system was particularly well-suited for use in deep mines, as it permitted winding from increasing depths as a colliery developed, as at Clipstone. Most British collieries used drum winders, designed to operate to a specific depth, and it was necessary, when using this system, to close a shaft and install a new winder drum and longer winder rope if a shaft had to be deepened. Koepe winders were installed throughout the German and Dutch coalfields from the late C19 onwards. There were a small number of late C19 and early C20 installations in England, but the Koepe system was not widely used until the post-War re-investment in and re-structuring of the mining industry after 1945. After the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1947, the advantages of the Koepe winder became more and more apparent as increased coal production needed to drive the post-War recovery became a priority. Central government funding for colliery expansion meant that sites such as Clipstone could invest in improved systems and increase production by working deeper seams more effectively.
Prior to nationalisation, the Bolsover Mining Company had become the third largest enterprise of its kind in Britain. Its Clipstone pit included one of the two deepest shafts in the country, and the new headstocks were the tallest such structures in Europe at that time. In the context of Britain's post-War mining industry, Clipstone was a state-of-the-art colliery, employing over thirteen hundred men at its peak, and produced almost a million tons of coal in 1986. The colliery ceased production in 2003 and the site has now been cleared of all the colliery structures and transportation systems with the exception of the winders, headstocks and powerhouse. This part of the colliery site had been listed, prior to closure, on the 19th April 2000 and now stands surrounded by security fencing within the recently remodelled colliery landscape. Since the pit closure, the powerhouse building and the machinery and electrical equipment it housed have been comprehensively vandalised and stripped of metals with high scrap value. The interiors of the building are heavily damaged, and there is now some evidence of localised structural failure. An application for consent to demolish the building and headstocks was made in 2003 to Newark and Sherwood District Council but has not yet been determined. English Heritage received an earlier request to de-list the building and headstocks, but this application was not taken forward as the application to demolish remains under consideration by the Local Planning Authority.

Without doubt the species with the most presence on the islands are the Arctic Terns. During the breeding season our home becomes theirs and life very much evolves to fit in around these magnificent birds.
By the beginning of June the majority of the terns are down on eggs and a few weeks later we will begin to find the newest generation of this truly remarkable species. By the end of the year, some of these birds (currently tiny eggs) will be somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere, most likely off the coast of Australia or the Antarctic pack ice. This species experiences more daylight hours than any other land animal on the planet.
Arctic Terns have a somewhat notorious reputation among our visitors to Inner Farne in that they will staunchly defend their eggs and chicks from perceived attack. This usually involves the bird clicking, flying up, making lots of noise, and occasionally pecking the heads of passers-by! We advise wearing a hat and walking steadily through the colony and the main place to look is at your feet – there can be eggs and chicks on the path from May to July on Inner Farne.
