VIEIRA DA SILVA AND PORTALEGRE TAPESTRIES
As a producer of pieces of art at the service of painters, the Portalegre Tapestry Manufacture has always worked alongside the artistic movements of its time.
Over a span of only 75 years, the Portalegre Tapestry Manufacture has used a certain hand- weaving technique recognized as "Portalegre weaving" to carve a space for itself in a nation that, in spite of getting a extended tradition in textile production, only valued tapestries if they came from France or the Flanders. From Portugal, Portalegre tapestries have spread across the planet: nowadays they can be located in each continent.
By giving textile form to operates by significant names in modern art, the Portalegre Tapestry Manufacture assists maintain alive one particular of Western civilisation’s oldest and richest art types: wall tapestries.
These tapestries are original pieces of art, the outcome of distinctive collaboration in between the painter, the designer and the weavers.
The Portalegre Tapestry Manufacture requires an original painting and converts it into one more medium, hence revealing a new dimension of the function. Rather then a basic reproduction, the resulting tapestry is a veritable operate of art, due to its intrinsic qualities and to the strategies involved in its creation.
Much more than 200 portuguese and foreign painters have seen their work turned into Portalegre tapestries.
As 1 of the foremost names in Portuguese painting, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva could not have been left out of this "Portuguese Adventure".
Right after getting invited by Guy Fino in 1960, she sent the original of Mouraria to the tapestry workshop.
Even tough Mouraria comes across right now as the "easiest" piece of tapestry by Vieira da Silva, it was one thing very unprecedented in terms of what had been the regular of tapestry production for the duration of the 1950’s, and confronted the Manufacture, especially it really is designers, with major troubles, detailed in the letters Guy Fino wrote to Vieira da Silva in between November 1960 and October 1961.
The procedure of turning the original into a tapestry implies, on a initial stage, enlarging it, correcting it and picking the weft colours to be employed. The designer, on whom rests the responsibility for faithfully translating the painter spirit into an additional medium, enlarges the original, performing away with non-essentials so that the final piece will do the original justice. So that as Guy Fino wrote to Vieira da Silva, "one will see in the tapestry what 1 saw in the original art".
Soest NL – National Military Museum – General Dynamics F-16A Fighting Falcon 04
Image by Daniel Mennerich
The Basic Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine multirole fighter aircraft originally created by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force (USAF). Made as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a productive all-weather multirole aircraft. More than 4,500 aircraft have been constructed because production was authorized in 1976. Despite the fact that no longer becoming bought by the U.S. Air Force, improved versions are still becoming constructed for export customers. In 1993, Basic Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing company to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became component of Lockheed Martin following a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.
The Fighting Falcon has important features including a frameless bubble canopy for better visibility, side-mounted handle stick to ease control whilst maneuvering, a seat reclined 30 degrees to lessen the impact of g-forces on the pilot, and the first use of a relaxed static stability/fly-by-wire flight manage system which assists to make it a nimble aircraft. The F-16 has an internal M61 Vulcan cannon and 11 locations for mounting weapons and other mission gear. The F-16’s official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is commonly employed by its pilots and crews, due to a perceived resemblance to a viper snake as effectively as the Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper starfighter.
In addition to active duty U.S. Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command, and Air National Guard units, the aircraft is also utilised by the USAF aerial demonstration group, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and as an adversary/aggressor aircraft by the United States Navy. The F-16 has also been procured to serve in the air forces of 25 other nations. As of 2015, it is the second most typical presently operational military aircraft in the globe.

BOAC 707
Image by caribb
A Blast from the Previous – from slide to film then scanned..
-This was one more considerable trip for me…. the one particular that genuinely sparked my interest in aviation. It really is my very first trip that I have a conscious memory of.. YUL-LHR-YUL. I recall wanting to fly a VC-10, the plane of the day that was most fascinating for me however we ended up on a 707 which initially disappointed me…nevertheless, I loved it so significantly I never ever stopped searching at planes after. So here’s the BOAC 707 that quite considerably began it all for me back in August 1970. A Qantas 707 VJet was parked next to us. Every thing at Heathrow was incredible to me…it was my 1st airplane heaven LOL 🙂 No registration quantity though sadly.. not even certain of the variant. BOAC eventually merged with BEA and formed British Airways.
*Airplanes 101* (See Airplanes 101 Set)
Name: Boeing 707
Manufacturer: Boeing (USA)
Major Part: Massive Capacity long variety jet
Simple style: four wing mounted engines, single aisle narrow body jet.
Capacity: Roughly around 110-202 passengers
Range: 6820 – 6920km
Very first delivery date: 1958 (to Pan Am)
In Production: 1958-1979
Nevertheless in production in 2008: No
Effortlessly confused for: DC-8 series,
Major identifying points: The Antennae at the top of it is tail is the most recognizable feature of this aircraft. The fuselage looks like a stretched 737 and it has 4 little styled engines mounted on the wings..
Examples of Primary Operators: This aircraft was, along with the DC-eight, the principal inter-continental aircraft employed by airlines planet wide in the 1960s and 1970s. It was replaced by the Boeing 747, DC-ten, L1011 and A300 in the late 1970s and 1980s. Few examples are left flying these days. Numerous are cargo jets and most are situated in Asia, Africa and South America. Iran Air still flies a handful in their area. John Travolta purchased and revamped an old Qantas 707 and is flying it about the world these days. The tail would look like the tail in the photo about (Red tail to the proper of the BOAC 707 in the photo) That is likely your very best bet at seeing a single.

Today Sydney once again enjoyed one of the premiere Music Festivals to hit Australia – the Future Music Festival.
Randwick, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was blasted by festival goers, and for the most part, the crowd was not disappointed.
The fest which attracted 50,000 fans, had a line-up that ranged from Psy to alt-indie rockers The Stone Roses.
Industry talk as some folks questioned the use of the phrase "future music" for bands who had found fame and success decades ago, including The Stone Roses and The Prodigy, despite both acts being strong drawcards for many fans at the event.
There were plenty of other hot acts on the marquee included Rita Ora, Australian band The Temper Trap and Avicii.
Well done to everyone involved in the success of this years Future Music Festival.

AVICII
ANNOUNCED AS THE EDM HEADLINER AT THIS YEAR’S FUTURE MUSIC FESTIVAL!!
Future Entertainment can now officially confirm that chart-topping Swedish superstar and worldwide phenomenon Avicii has been added to the already monumental line-up for this year’s Future Music Festival in March!
Set to bring his massive production to the headlining spot of the EDM stage at this year’s Future Music Festival, 2x Grammy award nominee Avicii has certainly proved himself as the EDM force to be reckoned with since he exploded on to the scene in 2011. Put quite simply, in the relatively short time since we first heard his name, Avicii has accomplished more than most artists would dream of in an entire lifetime. And, at just 23 years of age, Avicii is just getting started!
Best known for his exquisite production skills, his prolific live performances and a string of international mega-hits including the worldwide phenomenon, ‘Levels’, (which conquered music charts worldwide racking up over 50 million YouTube views, and was declared David Guetta’s "Tune of 2011") Avicii is without a doubt one of the most in demand artists on the planet.
2012 saw the Swede skyrocket. Kicking the year off with the ‘House for Hunger’ tour, Avicii and manager Ash Pournouri donated a staggering million to the organization ‘Feeding America’, by doing a not-for-profit 27-stop tour of the U.S.
The year also saw him headline some of the world’s biggest music festivals including Coachella, Ultra Music (where he was joined on-stage by pop queen Madonna), Lollapalooza, Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Exit Festival, Creamfields, Mysteryland, Austin City Limits. He was also recently ranked as the second-most influential under-30 person in music by Forbes magazine.
Most recently, Avicii has launched the Avicii x You project which will see him collaborate with fans, producers and musicians from all over the world for his next single. All profits from the single will again go to the ‘Feeding America’ charity.
2013 will see this prodigal wiz-kid join the hallowed ranks of the Future Music Festival. The Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome is most certainly upon us and it’s set to be all the more awesome with Avicii onboard!
The unstoppable force that is Avicii will headline the EDM stage at this year’s Future Music Festivals alongside fellow heavyweights Dizee Rascal, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Madeon + many more.
The Future Music Festival 2013 pinata has officially popped!
It’s the ‘Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome’ and this year Future Music Festival is set to rock your skulls off! We’ve been brewing something special, and full of more mind-blowing music than you can poke a cactus at… Future Music Festival 2013 is going to kick harder than a Tijuana donkey on peyote! Where else would you want to be? Our Casa is your casa muchacho!
With the most innovative and dynamic line-up to date, Future Entertainment is bringing you a curated arena and two super-sized main stages jam-packed with the hottest talent the world has on offer.
The Prodigy will give you the Warriors Dance Arena – an entire arena dedicated to hard-edged, and heavy bass driven music plus some of the world’s most cutting-edge dub-step acts. The stage is set to showcase why this band deserves every sense of credibility and admiration attached to their name. It’s going to be huge! Epic if you will. Joining them in the Warriors Dance Arena will be Boys Noize (Terminator-esque skull show! New album out this Friday), Feed Me Live (Live Teeth Show), FMF 2012 heroes Kill The Noize, Zeds Dead and Borgore. Another very welcome addition to the Warriors Dance Arena is international tastemaker and legendary DJ in his own right, Zane Lowe. This man has quite literally had a hand in the shaping careers of more than one of the artists on this line-up and has truly earned his stripes amongst the best. With each act as illustrious and defining as the next, be prepared… the Warriors are coming.
Fresh from breaking records for the fastest selling rock tour in UK history (220,000 tickets in 68 minutes!) the pioneers of alternative rock The Stone Roses are bringing their Manchester-borne reunion tour to Aussie shores. Joining them on the live front are fellow Brits Bloc Party. Returning to Australia for the first time since the release of their critically acclaimed new album Four they’ll be sending fans into an absolute frenzy as they make their debut Future Music Festival appearance.
In a move unlike any other, International sensation and K-Pop superstar PSY has also been added to the bill. The recent online obsession over his Gangnam Style video has turned the South Korean into a global phenomenon. His single has had in excess of 400 million youtube views and has reached the number 1 spot in 33 countries and counting! Arriving in Australia this Sunday, Psy will perform on X-Factor and share with a captive nation his EX-PSY-TMENT about debuting his live show at Future Music Festival 2013.
Off the back of a triumphant performance at the AFL Grand Final that saw their smash hit album Conditions soar back into a Top 10 position in the ARIA charts, our boys The Temper Trap will be showing the internationals how we hold our own. Adding a little more Oz to the concoction will be indie-rock wunderkinds Gypsy & The Cat – returning with a much anticipated new album mixed by superstar Dave Fridman (The Flaming Lips, MGMT) and a new single ‘Bloom’ which shot straight to number 5 on the world wide hype machine.
Expect things to get a little bonkers with UK powerhouse MC and festival must-have Dizziee Rascal back on the bill. Fellow countrymen DJ Fresh and Rudimental have also had extremely impressive years. With a string of hits and sold out shows to each of their names respectively, these live acts know how to get the party started. Period. Also along for the ride we give you the chart-topping New York pop-rockers Fun. And you better believe it will be!
This season, Future Music Festival has pulled together an array of the finest female talent on the planet. First up, hailing from Harlem, we have the hard-hitting, natural born lyricist Azealia Banks. With a much anticipated new album on the way, this provocative lady of the moment is all set to deliver a hot and heavy set featuring tracks from her hit EP ‘1991’. Next up, Rita ‘This Is How We Do’ Ora will be taking to the stage. With no less than 3 number 1 UK hits under her Alexander Wang belt and a slew of burgeoning international praise, 2013 is all about Rita’s Ora! On the topic of UK sensations, Ellie Goulding will be making her much-awaited Australian festival debut. Rounding off an almost perfect female contingent are the ever-impressive Aussies (and Future Music favourites), Nervo.
If ever there was an EDM all-star line-up, to end all other line-ups, this would undoubtedly be it. FMF 2013 brings you electronic icons Steve Aoki, A-Trak (Live), Madeon and Hardwell. The EDM A-Team has officially landed.
The undisputed heavyweight champion of underground and heralded king of Ibiza, Sven V th will be bringing his Cocoon Heroes concept down under for the first time. Returning for his 5th performance on FMF, V th will head up the strongest techno line-up in Future Music history. We kid you not. Cocoon Heroes will showcase fellow techno-titans Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Seth Troxler and Magda. Featuring full lights and production, Cocoon Heroes will boast all of the elements that make this the best event on the white island each summer, and much, MUCH more!
Trance-a-holics can look forward to riding every bone-tingling breakdown and build-up as we announce Wake Your Mind! Curated by none other than trance visionaries Cosmic Gate the Wake Your Mind stage will feature vocalist Emma Hewitt, W&W, tyDi, Super 8 & Tab and Ben Gold.
Last, but by no means least Australia’s very own The Stafford Brothers, Timmy Trumpet, Tenzin and Bombs Away will once again join the hallowed ranks. Hold on to your margaritas – these Aussies are LOCO!! Party time? Excellente.
What is now a rite of passage for all music lovers, Future Music Festival is back! The Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome is upon us. This is the festivale de m sica futuro…Taco Taco muchachos!

Returning to Australia for the first time since the release of their critically acclaimed new album Four they’ll be sending fans into an absolute frenzy as they make their debut Future Music Festival appearance.

His single has had in excess of 400 million youtube views and has reached the number 1 spot in 33 countries and counting! Arriving in Australia this Sunday, Psy will perform on X-Factor and share with a captive nation his EX-PSY-TMENT about debuting his live show at Future Music Festival 2013.
Off the back of a triumphant performance at the AFL Grand Final that saw their smash hit album Conditions soar back into a Top 10 position in the ARIA charts, our boys The Temper Trap will be showing the internationals how we hold our own. Adding a little more Oz to the concoction will be indie-rock wunderkinds Gypsy & The Cat – returning with a much anticipated new album mixed by superstar Dave Fridman (The Flaming Lips, MGMT) and a new single ‘Bloom’ which shot straight to number 5 on the world wide hype machine.
Expect things to get a little bonkers with UK powerhouse MC and festival must-have Dizziee Rascal back on the bill. Fellow countrymen DJ Fresh and Rudimental have also had extremely impressive years. With a string of hits and sold out shows to each of their names respectively, these live acts know how to get the party started. Period.

Future Music Festival, Randwick, Sydney, Australia…
Today Sydney once again enjoyed one of the premiere Music Festivals to hit Australia – the Future Music Festival.
Randwick, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was blasted by festival goers, and for the most part, the crowd was not disappointed.
The fest which attracted 50,000 fans, had a line-up that ranged from Psy to alt-indie rockers The Stone Roses.
Industry talk as some folks questioned the use of the phrase "future music" for bands who had found fame and success decades ago, including The Stone Roses and The Prodigy, despite both acts being strong drawcards for many fans at the event.
There were plenty of other hot acts on the marquee included Rita Ora, Australian band The Temper Trap and Avicii.
Well done to everyone involved in the success of this years Future Music Festival.

AVICII
ANNOUNCED AS THE EDM HEADLINER AT THIS YEAR’S FUTURE MUSIC FESTIVAL!!
Future Entertainment can now officially confirm that chart-topping Swedish superstar and worldwide phenomenon Avicii has been added to the already monumental line-up for this year’s Future Music Festival in March!
Set to bring his massive production to the headlining spot of the EDM stage at this year’s Future Music Festival, 2x Grammy award nominee Avicii has certainly proved himself as the EDM force to be reckoned with since he exploded on to the scene in 2011. Put quite simply, in the relatively short time since we first heard his name, Avicii has accomplished more than most artists would dream of in an entire lifetime. And, at just 23 years of age, Avicii is just getting started!
Best known for his exquisite production skills, his prolific live performances and a string of international mega-hits including the worldwide phenomenon, ‘Levels’, (which conquered music charts worldwide racking up over 50 million YouTube views, and was declared David Guetta’s "Tune of 2011") Avicii is without a doubt one of the most in demand artists on the planet.
2012 saw the Swede skyrocket. Kicking the year off with the ‘House for Hunger’ tour, Avicii and manager Ash Pournouri donated a staggering million to the organization ‘Feeding America’, by doing a not-for-profit 27-stop tour of the U.S.
The year also saw him headline some of the world’s biggest music festivals including Coachella, Ultra Music (where he was joined on-stage by pop queen Madonna), Lollapalooza, Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Exit Festival, Creamfields, Mysteryland, Austin City Limits. He was also recently ranked as the second-most influential under-30 person in music by Forbes magazine.
Most recently, Avicii has launched the Avicii x You project which will see him collaborate with fans, producers and musicians from all over the world for his next single. All profits from the single will again go to the ‘Feeding America’ charity.
2013 will see this prodigal wiz-kid join the hallowed ranks of the Future Music Festival. The Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome is most certainly upon us and it’s set to be all the more awesome with Avicii onboard!
The unstoppable force that is Avicii will headline the EDM stage at this year’s Future Music Festivals alongside fellow heavyweights Dizee Rascal, Hardwell, Steve Aoki, Madeon + many more.
The Future Music Festival 2013 pinata has officially popped!
It’s the ‘Day Of The Dead-Set Awesome’ and this year Future Music Festival is set to rock your skulls off!

Where else would you want to be? Our Casa is your casa muchacho!
With the most innovative and dynamic line-up to date, Future Entertainment is bringing you a curated arena and two super-sized main stages jam-packed with the hottest talent the world has on offer.
The Prodigy will give you the Warriors Dance Arena – an entire arena dedicated to hard-edged, and heavy bass driven music plus some of the world’s most cutting-edge dub-step acts. The stage is set to showcase why this band deserves every sense of credibility and admiration attached to their name. It’s going to be huge! Epic if you will.

Tokyo J – Akihabra – Akihabara Electric Town 05
Image by Daniel Mennerich
Akihabara is a district in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. The name Akihabara is a shortening of Akibagahara (autumn leaf field), which in the end comes from Akiba, named right after a fire-controlling deity for a firefighting shrine constructed right after the location was destroyed by a fire in 1869.
Akihabara gained the nickname Akihabara Electric Town (Akihabara Denki Gai) shortly right after Planet War II for getting a key shopping center for household electronic goods and the post-war black marketplace.
Nowadays, Akihabara is regarded as by a lot of to be an otaku cultural center and a shopping district for video games, anime, manga, and personal computer goods. Icons from well-liked anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and several maid cafés are identified all through the district.
The location that is now Akihabara was as soon as near a city gate of Edo and served as a passage among the city and northwestern Japan. This created the area a property to a lot of craftsmen and tradesmen, as well as some low class samurai. 1 of Tokyo’s frequent fires destroyed the location in 1869, and the people decided to replace the buildings of the area with a shrine named Chinkasha, meaning fire extinguisher shrine, in an try to stop the spread of future fires. The locals nicknamed the shrine Akiba soon after a deity that could handle fire, and the region about it became identified as Akibagahara and later Akihabara.
In 1890, the Akihabara Station became a significant freight transit point, which allowed a vegetable and fruit industry to spring up in the district. Then, in the 1920s, the station saw a large volume of passengers following opening for public transport, and after Globe War II, the black market place thrived in the absence of a robust government. This disconnection of Akihabara from government authority has permitted the district to grow as a marketplace city and offered rise to an outstanding atmosphere for entrepreneurship. In the 1930s, this climate turned Akihabara into a future-oriented market place region specializing in household electronics, such as washing machines, refrigerators, televisions, and stereos, earning Akihabara the nickname "Electric Town".
As household electronics began to drop their futuristic appeal in about the 1980s, the shops of Akihabara shifted their concentrate to house computers at a time when they were only utilized by specialists and hobbyists. This new specialization brought in a new sort of consumer, personal computer nerds or otaku.
The industry in Akihabara naturally latched onto their new client base that was focused on anime, manga, and video games. The connection among Akihabara and otaku has survived and grown to the point that the area is now identified worldwide as a center for otaku culture, and most otaku even contemplate Akihabara to be a sacred location.

Paradise View of the Demon Realms:
Unenlightened Bardo Realms ~
In the Demon Realms the denizens think nothing of killing and devouring their fellow beings, even when they realize that their victims are self-conscious and really feel pain just as the demons do. Demons eat flesh not because they have to, but since they pick to. They train their young to wish the burned flesh of other individuals, so that it seems a all-natural appropriate for them to needlessly slaughter other beings at their whim.
Demons even contact the enslavement of terrified beings (whose unavoidable destinies are proclaimed to be absolutely nothing much more meaningful than to further fatten the demons’ stomachs) a noble ‘pastoral enterprise’, as they destroy Paradise to fatten their herds and turn fertile soil-wealthy lands full of diverse life-types into the barren wastelands of the Demon Realms. The rest of their food is tainted, half-rotted and often completely contrived from waste merchandise and toxic chemical compounds.
In the Demon Realms there is no clean fresh water. The demons add poisons to it just before they drink it and swim in chemical-laden water laced with their own urine and excrement.
In the Demon Realms there is neither silence nor peace. Noise envelopes the demonic hordes in a numbing cocoon and their time is crammed complete with needless anxiety and pointless – but destructive – activity. They never have adequate time to genuinely reflect on their existence or have a likelihood of changing it. Their overloaded senses grow to be dulled and jaded and the demons crave ever a lot more empty diversions and entertainments with ever-escalating levels of death, violence and other vividly distracting passions.
In the Demon Realms there is no object or living thing that hasn’t been placed there by demons. They all live inside the concretised manifestations of their demonic minds, in no way seeing something produced and planted by Nature. Every little thing they see, hear, smell, taste or touch has been erected by other demons.
In the Demon Realms they breathe smoke, poisons and fumes in an all-pervasive translucent cloud of sulfurous brimstone. They heat and chill the air with infernal combustion machines that add toxic chemical compounds and poisonous vapours to their atmospheres, and virtually everything is powered by machinery that poisons their air all the much more. The far more cunning and thoughtless demons blow hot, dead air and smoke out of their edifices, into the lungs of those who cannot afford to do the identical to them.
The demons see the globe as their oyster – not as a priceless pearl – and say it is their correct to destroy the beauty and bounty of nature – which they get in touch with ‘resources’. They expand the Demon Realms into the shrinking sanctuaries of Paradise with their endless rapacious activity. They think that may tends to make appropriate and that those with chunks of glittering metal torn from the Earth’s bosom deserve to rule and devour whatever they will. They believe that the demon with the greatest gun has the inherent right to all energy. They believe that God is on all their sides when they slaughter each other, and they are all correct in that belief.
In the Demon Realms the chief demons make continual war on every single other to preserve their demonic forces nicely entrained to be capable to wage more war, terror and death. The tribal demons fight for illusory symbols like flags and totems, to give them much more energy to release their hidden fears, bigotries and hatreds on absolutely everyone else. The greatest killers are praised as heroes.
In the Demon Realms no-one can trade or participate in life without employing imaginary symbols of Energy inscribed on paper, metal or congealed oil. Their emperor has no garments but it is mandatory to praise his glittering raiment.
In the Demon Realms almost everything not forbidden soon becomes compulsory.
In the Demon Realms everybody is ill and delusional, out of touch with Nature and their personal accurate natures. Most demons inexorably kill themselves with their daily suicidal behaviour and rarely live much more than a single century.
In the Demon Realms there are a handful of angels working to save Paradise and aid elevate all beings with their accurate possible.
They require YOU. Stick to the rainbow – along the Green middle path which leads by way of its centre!
These days a silver perch leaping from the stream, over and more than, following a dragonfly as it leapt from its element in pursuit of identified unknowns. A grey falcon swoops on the flock of guinea fowl and the peacocks ruffle their feathers. Black cockatoos greet the coming storm with loud articulate screeches that carry sentences of meaning with every second’s squawk.
We move timber and stone, soil and sand, and an old cast iron bathtub. A logger comes to see if there are and ‘cheap’ trees ‘for sale’. A handful of much more trees go into the ground when he’s gone, as Emerald catbirds and Wompoo pigeons celebrate his departure.
“See that mirror surface?” I say to Dave as we rest for a couple of minutes beneath the reforming rainforest canopy. The deep pool has stilled as the storm bird starts its escalating cry. “See that meniscus forming on the surface like a lens?”
“Sure,” Dave replies. “Just like a slightly curved mirror.”
“The water’s literally bulging upward toward the waters above – it’s an electrical phenomenon if you like, as the water strains to make make contact with with itself. It’s a relatively certain sign that we’re about to have a thunderstorm…” A few ripples begin to type on the nevertheless surface. “Are they falling up, do you suppose?”
The lightning arrives thirty seconds later.
Paradise is a forest – just beyond the open field of your vision in the Demon Realms – and all demons are forgetful angels.
– R. Ayana

A handful of good tool grinding photos I discovered:
Coldwater Creek

© Billy Wilson 2010
This shot was taken almost a year ago on one of the two streams that type Coldwater Creek. Pictured in this photo are the ruins of an old dam that was 1 of a couple of place in place for a fish hatchery. These days, the fish hatchery is now on the other stream that forms the primary flow of Coldwater Creek.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm ƒ/3.five-five.six IS *Shutter Speed: two. Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/11. *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 18mm (28.8mm Equivalent in 35mm Film)
I shot this on a tripod employing mirror lockup, a polarizing filter, and a two Sec. selftimer. I was standing in the water whilst taking these shots and the creek has a quite correct name of "Coldwater Creek", just upstream from this spot is a single far more little old wooden dam and all the water just seeps out of the ground.
I opened the RAW file in ACR and did my common tone curve adjustments and slider vibrance, clarity, and blacks increases. I adjusted the colours individually to get them the way I wanted, with a lot of green contrasting on a mix of light red and orange.
I opened the RAW file in CS4 saved as a 16 bit TIFF and preceded to edit it. I utilized the clone stamp and healing tools to meticulously clean the scene of any slightly annoying object. I added the light beams in the background by using the clouds filter, utilizing motion blur on them and changing the blend mode to luminousity and lowering the opacity to about 50%. I also added a tiny bit of mist to go above the stream. Close to the end I saved the 16 bit TIFF file, converted to sRGB colourspace, and saved as a JPEG to upload to the web.

Dortmund – Zeche Zollern II IV 11
Image by Daniel Mennerich
The Zeche Zollern II/IV (translated: Zollern II/IV Colliery) is located in the northwestern suburb of Bövinghausen of Dortmund, Germany. The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG projected Zollern in 1898 as a model colliery.
Ground up building started in 1898 on a new internet site. Most of the buildings of the colliery had been constructed in strong brickwork by the architect Paul Knobbe and were completed in 1904 with the central engine residence, in which the most up-to-date generators and machinery utilized in the colliery were housed. The architecture and state-of-the-art technology support the transition of Gothic-revival to Art Nouveau and the industrialization of the early 1900s.
Due to deadline pressure, the central engine house was built in iron framework building with infilling of red brickwork, planned and executed by the Gutehoffnungshütte. The Art Nouveau styled major entrance was developed by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring, it shows a lead glazing of blue, green and-glass. Counterpart of the main entrance is the big manage board of polished marble in brass mounting, with a brass clock hanging from above.
Other buildings on the website contain administration bureaus, blacksmith’s shop and carpenter’s shop, 1st-aid and fire station with steady, pithead baths, tools shop and the central gateway.
In 1969, 3 years following it closed down, the colliery was recognized as Germany’s 1st technical developing monument of international significance. Since 1981, it has been the headquarters of the Westphalian Industrial Museum.
The original pit frames had been scrapped just before 1969, two similar constructions from other collieries were reconstructed on this internet site in the 1980s.
The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

Belem, Berardo Collection, Centro Cultural de Belem, Lisbon, Portugal
Components : Oil on canvas
ABOUT THE Operate
Allen Jones, along with David Hockney, Peter Phillips and R. B. Kitaj, belongs to the ‘second generation’ of British Pop. From 1955 to 1960 he studied in London at the Hornsey College of Art, then at the Royal College of Art, and from 1961 to 1963 he taught lithography at the Croydon College of Arts. Allen Jones lived in the United States for a year in 1964.
Like Mel Ramos with his Pinup Girlies (the Berardo Collection has a Virnaburger, from 1965), Jones pushed the stereotypes recognized as ‘masculine’ to the maximum. In this painting, using an ingenious optical illusion, the female figure is lowered to a pair of legs, and wears stiletto heels with exaggerated dimensions.
Jones acquired a certain notoriety for his Chair, Table and Hat Stand series (1969) in which girls are transformed into furnishings. Allen Jones collaborated in the film Maîtresse, made by Barbet Schroeder in 1976. The sculptures in the ‘Korova Milk Bar’ in STANLEY KUBRICK’S FILM A CLOCKWORK ORANGE are primarily based on his perform.

BIOGRAPHY
From Wikipedia, the free of charge encyclopaedia
EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION
"For my generation any person who wanted to reduce the mustard had to reckon with Abstract Expressionism…. I’ve never wanted to show the struggle involved in the producing of the operate, and to make it part of the painting the way it is with Pollock or de Kooning. That is just not me constitutionally I couldn’t abandon the figure. But I had to find a new way of performing it. Abstract Expressionism had swept almost everything away. You couldn’t go back to representing the figure by way of some moribund visual language."
— Allen Jones in a 2014 interview
Jones was born in the English city of Southampton on 1 September 1937. The son of a Welsh factory worker, he was raised in the west London district of Ealing, and in his youth attended Ealing County Grammar College for Boys.
Jones had an interest in art from an early age. In 1955, he began studying painting and lithography at Hornsey College of Art in London, exactly where he would graduate in 1959. At the time the teaching approach at Hornsey was based on Paul Klee’s Pedagogical Sketchbook from the 1930s. While a student at Hornsey, Jones travelled to Paris and the French area of Provence, and was particularly influenced by the art of Robert Delaunay.
He also attended a Jackson Pollock show at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1958, and according to Jones, "for me it was outdoors any identified frame of reference. The scale, the ambition, the freedom. I felt like suing my teachers for not telling me what was taking place in the globe." He afterwards travelled to see the Musie Fernand Léger in the French commune of Biot, and in 1959 he left Hornsey to begin attending the Royal College of Art.
As 1 of the very first British pop artists, Jones created increasingly unique paintings and prints in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and in distinct enjoyed combining various visual languages to expose the historical constructions underlying them.
According to Jones, about his early ambitions, "I wanted to kick more than the traces of what was regarded as acceptable in art. I wanted to locate a new language for representation… to get away from the notion that figurative art was romantic, that it wasn’t difficult." He was element of a unique generation of students at the Royal College, amongst which his fellow students were R. B. Kitaj, Peter Phillips, David Hockney, and Derek Boshier, but was expelled from the Royal College of Art in 1960, at the end of his very first year.
Explained by Mark Hudson in The Telegraph many years later, "horrified at the new developments brewing amongst their younger students, the college’s academic old guard decided to make an example of someone. They chose Jones." Dismayed, Jones signed up for a teacher training course and returned to his research at Hornsey College of Art in 1960, graduating the following year.

EARLY TEACHING AND EXHIBITS (1961–63)
In spite of his expulsion from the Royal College, in January 1961 Jones’ operate was included in the Young Contemporaries 1961 exhibit. The annual Royal Society of British Artists exhibition was described in the press as "the exhibition that launched British pop art," Young Contemporaries helped expose England to the art of Jones, David Hockney, R. B. Kitaj, Billy Apple, Derek Boshier, Joe Tilson, Patrick Caulfield, and Peter Blake, all of whom have been variously influenced by American Pop.
Among his works, Jones entered numerous paintings of London buses on shaped canvases, which have been afterwards put on display at the London West End gallery Arthur Tooth & Sons. 1 of the gallery’s directors then introduced Jones to the function of American pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Claes Oldenburg, which proved inspirational to Jones.
In 1961, he took a job teaching lithography at Croydon College of Art in London, where he would remain until 1963. Around this time, Jones was influenced by the works of writers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Jung.
According to Jones, his 1963 painting Hermaphrodite, depicting "fused male/female couples as metaphors of the inventive act," draws from each Freud and Nietzsche. In 1963, Jones was awarded the Prix des Jeunes Artistes at the Paris Biennale.
The following year, Jones and other Nouveau réalisme and pop artists such as Peter Phillips and Pauline Boty had been featured in documentaries by Belgian director Jean Antoine, Evelyne Axell’s husband.
TRAVEL IN UNITED STATES AND ABROAD (1964–69)
"[In New York City Jones] found a scene dominated by the suggestions of the influential critic Clement Greenberg: that the essence of painting lay in the flatness of the canvas, in hard edges, in the painting as object. Jones wanted to create a new kind of art that conformed to those principles… but which retained the human figure. He discovered the imagery that would allow him to do that in the seedy bookshops of Occasions Square."
— Mark Hudson
Intrigued by the "toughness" of American pop art, Jones moved to Manhattan in 1964 and took a studio at the Chelsea Hotel. In New York City, Jones recollects finding out to "present what you were saying as clearly as feasible," and he developed an interest in producing his photos tangible. For the year Jones remained in the city, he "discovered a rich fund of imagery in sexually motivated well-liked illustration of the 1940s and 1950s." According to Jones, about his art of the time:
Fetishism and the transgressive globe produced photos that I liked due to the fact they were hazardous. They were about private obsessions. They stood outside the accepted canons of artistic expression and they recommended new approaches of depicting the figure that weren’t dressed up for public consumption."
Amongst other projects at the time, Jones "worked on a 3-dimensional illusionism with clear erotic components."When Jones’ close buddy Peter Phillips came to New York on a Harkness Fellowship in 1964, for two years they spent considerably of their time travelling together throughout the United States.Jones’ style continued to create, and his 1966 painting Excellent Match "made explicit [his] previously subdued eroticism, adopting a precise linear style as a means of emphasizing tactility."
In 1967, Jones’ operate along with the operates of artists such as Piero Gilardi and David Hockney were included in an exhibition for the wedding of Guglielmo Achille Cavellini’s daughter. The following year, when the xartcollection exhibition series was developed in Zürich, Switzerland, Jones and artists such as Max Bill, Getulio Alviani, and Richard Hamilton had been among the initial to be integrated in the company’s "multiples." Until it dissolved a couple of years later, the company’s philosophy was to make contemporary art offered to a large public by industrially creating three-dimensional "multiples," with a number of artists’ work incorporated on every single.
Jones was a guest lecturer at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg in Germany from 1968 to 1970, and in 1969 was also a visiting professor at the University of South Florida. His 1968 set of prints, Life Class, was amongst his very first functions to incorporate components of sculpture.
Every single PRINT IS Made OF TWO HALVES, THE BOTTOM Getting A REALISTIC PAIR OF WOMEN’S LEGS IN TIGHTS, Whilst THE UPPER HALVES ARE DRAWN IN A 1940S FETISHIST GRAPHIC STYLE REPRESENTING "THE SECRET FACE OF BRITISH MALE Desire IN THE GLOOMY POST-WAR YEARS." About his further experimentation with sculpture, Jones has stated that "I spent so a lot time providing my figures that grabbable quality, I thought, why never I make them in 3 dimensions?"
"When I looked at what other avant-garde artists have been undertaking with the figure there was always a kind of prop, some thing that let the viewer off the hook, that told them ‘this is a perform of art’. I wanted to make a figure that was devoid of these props. There was an thought I’d seen in an adult comic strip exactly where a individual was used as a table, and that set off a whole host of resonances."
— Allen Jones
While living in the London neighbourhood of Chelsea in the late 1960s, Jones began functioning in sculpture. His fibreglass sculpture Chair, which was completed in 1969, marked the begin of a series of "life-size images of women as furnishings with fetishist and sado-masochist overtones."
The 1st three sculptures had been each and every sculpted from Jones’ drawings, with Jones overseeing professional sculptor as he produced the figures in clay. The 3 female figures had been then cast in plaster by a company that specialised in producing shop mannequins. Each of the original three figures was created in an edition of six.
EXTERNAL VIDEO
Jones first group of erotic fibreglass sculptures, of a Hatstand, Table and Chair gained international interest when exhibited in 1970. The works were met with robust protests for perceived misogyny, which succeeded in producing Jones a "cultural hot potato".
Laura Mulvey writing for Spare Rib magazine suggested the sculptures was inspired by latent castration anxiousness. Almost a decade later, when they have been place on show at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1978, they had been attacked with stink bombs.
Eight years later, on International Women’s Day, Chair was damaged by paint stripper whilst exhibited at the Tate.
According to art historian and curator, Marco Livingstone, writing in 2004: "More than 3 decades later, these performs still carry a strong emotive charge, ensnaring each and every viewer’s psychology and sexual outlook regardless of age, gender or expertise."
The serious reaction from the art planet, feminists, and the mainstream press soon after the sculptures’ debut would limit Jones’ exhibition profession in England more than the subsequent several decades. When asked about their effect on his profession, Jones was quoted stating "it’s collateral damage. I wanted to offend the canons of accepted worth in art. I discovered the ideal image to do that, and it is an accident of history that these operates coincided with the arrival of militant feminism."
Roman Polanski, Elton John and Gunter Sachs all owned a piece at a single stage, with a single of the sets selling at auction in 2012 for £2.six million. The sculptures have also been referenced in Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.
MAÎTRESSE AND TEACHING (1973–1980S
Jones, photographer Brian Duffy, and air brush specialist Philip Castle were commissioned to collaborate on the annual and usually salacious Pirelli calendar in 1973, resulting in a unique edition that Clive James would later jokingly get in touch with "the only Pirelli Calendar that nobody bothered to look at twice".
In 1973, Jones spent time as a guest lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles, and soon after going to Japan in 1974, the following year he toured Canada. Jones designed Barbet Schroeder’s 1975 film Maîtresse. Starring Bulle Ogier as the skilled dominatrix Ariane and Gérard Depardieu as her obsessed lover, the film provoked controversy in the United Kingdom because of its graphic depictions of sado-masochism.
By the mid 1970s, he was once more focusing on canvas and painting, and among his notable functions at this time had been Santa Monica Shores in 1977. Now at the Tate, the work was painted while he was a guest lecturer at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1977, and later that summer season he was a visiting director of studies in drawing and painting in Alberta, Canada, at the Banff Center College of Fine Arts. Known for only very sometimes taking on commissions, Jones was commissioned to design and style a hoarding for Fogal, a hosiery manufacturer, at Basel station in 1978.
The Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool held a large retrospective exhibition on his function in 1979, and the exhibit later travelled to the Serpentine Gallery in London. Continuing to travel, he was invited by the Berlin University of the Arts to be a guest professor from 1982 to 1983.[three] By that time, he had largely returned to "a playful stylisation in figure sculptures," which includes The Tango in 1984, a life-size dancing couple produced from steel plate.[four] In 1986, his work was incorporated in the Venice Biennale’s Art e Scienza exhibition, alongside artists such as Brian Eno and Tony Cragg,[citation needed] and that year he was elected as a Royal Academician by the Royal Academy.[17] Opened in 1987, Birch and Conran was the first art gallery in Soho, and their inaugural show featured British Pop artists such as Jones, Sir Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton, and Clive Barker.[citation required] From 1990 to 1999, he served as a trustee at the British Museum, and in 2000 became an Emeritus Trustee.[18]
He has functions held by the Cass Sculpture Foundation. A single of which, the outdoor sculpture Temple from 1998, was a response to the artifice of cultivated landscape… Jones sought to make a sculpture which utilized that artifice to distort scale and distance and to manipulate our perception of space. Jones’s interest derived from eighteenth-century landscape architects, who did this when introducing decorative buildings and follies into their schemes.
Also, with the figure at top of the structure Jones makes use of "colour to introduce the notion of movement in the figure, with the alternate arms of yellow and green in diagonally opposing positions."
Current EXHIBITIONS AND HOLDINGS (2000S)
Sculpture by Jones at Georgsplatz Hanover in Germany.
Jones continued his artistic activity into the 2000s, and amongst other projects he incorporated leatherwork by Whitaker Malem.
In recent years, Jones has increasingly grow to be identified for his huge steel sculptures, a lot of of which are abstract in nature and feature intertwining figures. A number of them have been displayed in an outdoor exhibit in Might 2015 at the Art in the Park occasion held by Lake Zurich. His function is also incorporated in a quantity of public and private art collections Three OF HIS PAINTINGS ARE IN THE COLLECTION OF THE CENTRO DE ARTE MODERNA OF THE GULBENKIAN FOUNDATION IN LISBON, and he has pieces in the Ingram Collection of Contemporary British Art.
In 2007, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Arts from Southampton Solent University. He has had solo exhibitions at the Wetterling Teo Gallery in Stockholm and the Serge Sorokko Gallery.
His performs featured in the Pop Art Portraits show at the National Portrait Gallery in London, and had a committed room of watercolours, drawing and paintings at the Tate Britain. In 2008, he was given a dedicated watercolour area at the Royal Academy of Arts. In April 2013, his perform was included in a main exhibition at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff, titled Pop and Abstract, alongside function by artists like Peter Blake and Bridget Riley. A parody of Jones Chair sculpture was portion of a collection exhibited below the name Allen Jones Remake at the Venus Over Manhattan Gallery in New York in 2013. An example of Jones’ 1969 Chair sculpture (as effectively as more than fifty other functions) remains at the Tate, which was acquired in 2014. In November 2014, a retrospective on Jones opened at the Royal Academy of Arts, operating until January 2015 in London.
ARTISTIC STYLE AND INFLUENCES
Associated with the British Pop art movement of the late 1960s, Jones is recognized for his perform with lithography, painting, drawing, and sculpture.
The Cass Sculpture Foundation wrote about Jones’ perform that "on a flat canvas, painted forms seem sculptural and his three-dimensional functions are painterly. He uses colour to describe type, at times with graphic precision, or conversely with an power and freedom of gesture which is close to direct expression. Equivalent developments are evident in his printmaking."
The Tate has described his output in lithography as "prolific," writing that it "proved an appropriate medium for his graphic flair." Artists and pop fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake and Richard Nicoll have cited Jones as an influence on their own types.
Jones is recognized for incorporating erotic imagery into his performs, such as rubber fetishism and BDSM, and this sexuality has usually been a focus of both art critics and the press.
Mark Hudson wrote in 2014 that Jones’ "subjects have integrated musicians, dancers and London buses, but in the popular perception his name is irrevocably linked to his peerlessly kinky fetish girls, regardless of whether in two or three dimensions, with their machined surfaces and blank expressions – photos that are as emblematic of classic British pop art as Peter Blake’s Beatles paintings or Hockney’s swimming pools."
In a evaluation on Jones’ profession, Richard Dorment wrote in November 2014 that "you could argue that Jones’s operate isn’t really about females it is about guys and how they appear at and consider about girls. Men use a variety of methods to neutralise or manage wish. 1 is to fetishise the female body…[although] another is for the man to suitable it."
Dorment additional explains himself by writing that turn to Jones’s paintings, and you see that he explores the theme of guys transformed into ladies once again and once again. A man dancing with a lady becomes inextricably fused into her physique yet another trades trousers and brogues for stockings and heels, as he walks from one edge of the canvas to the other…
Dorment further opines that "the paintings… show males and women in sexual conditions, but they are joyous and liberated and self-indulgent in a way that the lugubrious mannequins aren’t." Wrote Catrin Davies for Twin Factory in November 2014 about the show,
Jones’ paintings give a small counterbalance to the implied misogyny of his sculptures. In these colourfully kitsch scenes he paints about energy-play with cross-dressing inferences, of the dominate female, the submissive male, of the animalistic rituals of mating and the delicate interplay of coupling represented in the type of dance.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Vought OS2U-three Kingfisher:
The Kingfisher was the U.S. Navy’s major ship-primarily based, scout and observation aircraft for the duration of Planet War II. Revolutionary spot welding strategies gave it a smooth, non-buckling fuselage structure. Deflector plate flaps that hung from the wing’s trailing edge and spoiler-augmented ailerons functioned like extra flaps to enable slower landing speeds. Most OS2Us operated in the Pacific, where they rescued a lot of downed airmen, such as Globe War I ace Eddie Rickenbacker and the crew of his B-17 Flying Fortress.
In March 1942, this airplane was assigned to the battleship USS Indiana. It later underwent a six-month overhaul in California, returned to Pearl Harbor, and rejoined the Indiana in March 1944. Lt. j.g. Rollin M. Batten Jr. was awarded the Navy Cross for producing a daring rescue in this airplane below heavy enemy fire on July four, 1944.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Boeing B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay":
Boeing’s B-29 Superfortress was the most sophisticated propeller-driven bomber of Planet War II and the first bomber to house its crew in pressurized compartments. Though made to fight in the European theater, the B-29 found its niche on the other side of the globe. In the Pacific, B-29s delivered a assortment of aerial weapons: standard bombs, incendiary bombs, mines, and two nuclear weapons.
On August six, 1945, this Martin-constructed B-29-45-MO dropped the initial atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Bockscar (on show at the U.S. Air Force Museum close to Dayton, Ohio) dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Enola Gay flew as the advance climate reconnaissance aircraft that day. A third B-29, The Great Artiste, flew as an observation aircraft on both missions.
