SULLIVAN BALLOU'S LETTER
Love of country is not unique to Americans, but in a democracy, sending citizens to war requires far more than a dictator's fiat. In 1861, men on both sides of the conflict were willing to lay down their lives for what they believed to be right. Southerners fought for states' rights and a society built upon human slavery, which many considered the natural order of the universe. When the war started, few volunteers in the northern army marched off to end slavery, but many were ready to fight and die to preserve the Union.
One such soldier was Major Sullivan Ballou of the Second Regiment, Rhode Island Volunteers. Then thirty-two years old, Ballou had overcome his family's poverty to start a promising career as a lawyer. He and his wife Sarah wanted to build a better life for their two boys, Edgar and Willie. An ardent Republican and a devoted supporter of Abraham Lincoln, Ballou had volunteered in the spring of 1861, and on June 19 he and his men had left Providence for Washington, D.C.
This photo represents an excerpt from the letter to his wife from a camp just outside the nation's capital, and it is at once a passionate love letter as well as a profound meditation on the meaning of the Union. It caught national importance 129 years after he wrote it, when it was read on the widely watched television series, "The Civil War," produced by Ken Burns. The beauty of the language as well as the passion of the sentiments touched the popular imagination, and brought home to Americans once again what defense of democracy entailed.
Ballou wrote the letter July 14, while awaiting orders that would take him to Manassas, where he and twenty-seven of his men would die one week later at the Battle of Bull Run.

Paradise Lost
Of Man's first disobedience, and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world, and all our woe,
With loss of Eden...
Look at the structure of this paper, the deep mark of the imprint of the text on the surface, the quality it still retains (this edition of mine is from 1796).

Actually, I uploaded this to shamelessly promote this blog piece on the healthy aspects of coffee that I wrote this sleepless night. Enjoy the read.
Not sure if Milton ever had coffee, but since the drink was introduced to England by an exchange student from Crete in 1637, the first coffee house in Britain opened 1650 and Milton lives 1608-1674, chances are that he wrote Paradise Lost while under the influence of this great beverage. John Milton, being a religious man (or at least writing a lot of religiously themed texts), ought to have been drinking coffee since the pope had declared it a christian drink. This is how it happened: some clerics reasoned that since coffee was produced by the heathens, it was ungodly. They presented their case to the pope. After having a sip of the beverage, he promptly stated that such a pleasant drink had to be of god and suggested the coffee should be baptized.
Oh, and if you do decide to have those recommended four cups/day and if you own editions such as this, keep them well away from potential coffee stains. There's a special hell prepared for people who ruin nice editions of wonderful literature. I ought to know, I've been known to swear loudly over the first edition Astrid Lindgren books I 'prettified' with crayons when I was a very small child. Get another copy for reading and carefully fondle them nice collectibles once in a while, but away from pets, kids, wildebeests, hippos, tornados, deluges, apocalypses, ignorant people, dust, badly ventilated cooking areas and cig smoke. And sunlight. And fingerprints (no, not smeary fingerprints, skin is always somewhat fat and fat starts bad processes in paper).
...now to try Travels of Marco Polo (the very nice Folio Society edition) to induce sleep, that never failed me before. Used it as a last resort for 10 years and in that time I've reached page 67.
Enjoy some music I uploaded now (instead of doing the Marco Polo trip, I'm as easily distracted as a kitten something predatory locked in with something soft, tender and squeaky).

Montcalm and Wicker Sts., Ticonderoga, New York USA • Liberty Monument is a historic monument located at Ticonderoga in Essex County, New York. It was built in 1924 and is a bronze sculpture on a tiered granite base. The lower part of the sculpture is composed of four live-sized figures of a Native American, Frenchman, Englishman, and an American. They symbolize the four groups whose military exploits are part of Ticonderoga's past. The second part is the [prolific] artist Charles Keck's (1875-1951) interpretation of Liberty.
It was built and donated by philanthropist Horace Augustus Moses. Born in Ticonderoga, Moses became wealthy building and acquiring a number of paper mills that he combined to form the Strathmore Paper Company. As his wealth grew, he made a series of substantial donations to many Ticonderoga projects, among which were the Valley View Cemetery Chapel, Liberty Monument, the Moses-Ludington Hospital, the Community Building, and the Hancock House; with the last of these, he accomplished an early lifetime ambition— to establish a museum with a library that would make Ticonderoga a focal point for public interest in the region's history. – from Wikipedia entry. ∆ The monument was cast by Roman Bronze Works N.Y.
☞ Liberty Monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places (#89002014), on November 16, 1989.

During november I cruelly lacked of time for photography. I was involved in lots of different activities related to my other hobby, judo, spent lots of extra hours in my lab at the university, and my spare time was mainly used for celebrating birthdays... But that didn't stop my from taking a few good shots here and there.
This one was taken during an excursion organized by my professor for the whole working group. We went to visit a small company near Cologne, where I traveled through twice only a few days befor on my way to Bruges and back home. On the way back, I saw the Carnival on one Rhine waterside and the "Crane houses" on the other, so I decided to come back as soon as possible. So I took my camera on the excursion, and when the colleagues got back to the bus in the afternoon, I stayed for a few more hours to shoot alongside the Rhine and come back by train.
This one is the southernmost of the three "Crane houses". It's a really extravagant building, and it showed me the cruel lack of similarly dared buildings in my hometowns Stuttgart and Munich...
The history of musical spoons goes back as far as does the history of the spoon. Cultures from Russia to Ireland to Native American cultures have a history of playing the spoons or spoon-shaped bones.

" Tutto cambia, tutto si trasforma. Le cose, i luoghi, la vita, il paesaggio. In questo rimescolamento,
che è parte del nostro essere mortali, il disegno del mondo nei suoi continui mutamenti dovrebbe recuperare nel fondo della memoria alcuni tratti che, riaffiorando, impediscano la barbarie dell'appropriazione indebita da parte dell'uomo."
Roberto Peregalli

Despite this book's age, the collection of twelve essays contained within its covers discuss important ideas in Jewish education, many of which were far ahead of their time. The figures, from the 18th to the mid-20th centuries, include scholars, educators, philosophers, and a pediatrician, and they taught in many different language, though Hebrew would become the standard thanks to the Zionist movement and after the establishment of the State of Israel. The writings and theories covered include those of N.H. Wiesel, Samson Raphael Hirsch, Rabbi Israel Salanter, A.D. Gordon, Janusz Korczak, Franz Rosensweig, Martin Buber, Rabbi Kook, and Sarah Schenirer. This book, therefore, surveys trends in Jewish education and thought during periods of profound change in Jewish history and culture; their relevance are not lost in the book's age (New York: Thomas Yoseloff, 1964).
