Limestone is a sedimentary rock, geologically formed and composed largely of minerals formed from marine sediments. Inherently hardy, limestone is extensively used for floors and walls. When deciding upon limestone flooring, there are various things to consider such as colour, finish and tile size. We offer a wide choice of colours, from creams and beiges which tend to be more commonplace to darker limestones which are worthy of consideration and becoming more popular. Careful thought needs to be given to the final style you are trying to achieve. Limestone flooring can be described simply in two key interior styles – honed and square edged for a clean, contemporary look, or tumbled for a more traditional feel. Increasingly customers choosing limestone flooring are seeking larger-format tiles and differing random lengths, which can be used to stunning effect.
Limestone is a popular choice for those seeking a natural stone flooring which can bring a subtle touch of style and sophistication to the home interior. Available in a choice of colours which includes both light and dark shades, limestone flooring is a hard-wearing option which offers plenty of versatility, making it suitable for a broad range of potential applications.
Originally formed in warm shallow seas from decomposing organic marine sediment, such as coral, algae and shells, limestone is a sedimentary rock which has a calcium carbonate content of 50% or more. A rock which contains (often visible) fossil debris and is common all around the world, limestone can also be found in the UK where the two major sites are the Cotswolds and the Peak District. Quarried limestone can vary in colour: In the Cotswolds, for example, limestone found in the north of the region is the colour of rich, golden-brown honey, whilst stone sourced from southern quarries around Bath is much more creamy.
The look of limestone is usually a good indicator of its durability, with lighter shades tending to be softer in texture and darker shades much more hard-wearing. So naturally, this has implications for its application in the home. An elegant chalky-white limestone floor will look stunning in low-traffic areas such as a bathroom, but would soon wear and become discoloured if laid in a busy living space. Limestone quarried in the Jura region of south Germany is regarded as one of the toughest varieties of all. This type of limestone typically occurs in sedimentary layers, which means that the stone recovered from each layer can be very different in colour, even though it may originate from the same quarry.
As with any natural stone product, the kind of processing limestone floor tiles undergo after they have been cut has a major effect on their character and visual appearance. For instance, honing is a process in which the limestone tile is ground down to a smooth, flat surface. This removes any natural shine and often deepens the colour, leaving a matte, non-reflective finish and a very consistent surface profile. However, tumbling (or antiquing) a tile is a process which simulates ageing and is designed to create a softer looking surface which appears well-weathered and worn, and has rounded or rustic edges. Polishing, which usually works best on the harder limestones with a fine grain, involves lightly grinding the stone and/or using polishing compounds to produce a smooth, sparkling surface sheen which is pleasingly reflective and has a sharp edge. As the term suggests, brushing is a finishing technique which uses steel or nylon brushes to take away some of the softer material. This produces a lightly textured, non-slip surface which is more resilient and wears well. Brushing also tends to preserve more of a stone's original colour than is the case with tumbled limestone floor tiles.
Abbey Honed, which is popular choice for kitchens and bathroom floors, is a cream-coloured limestone with pale ivory and pearl tints and occasional mottling effects. Its honed finish and crisp edges always work well in contemporary interiors and can be also be used on walls.
Abbey Tumbled is the same creamy limestone tile after it has been gently tumbled. This creates a very popular tile with rounded broken edges and an aged appearance which would enhance any traditional property, or even provide an opulent contrast in the right modern setting.
Its blue-grey tones mixed with paler shades give the Ink limestone tile a gentle, mottled appearance. When laid, its honed square edge creates an almost invisible joint, giving this limestone flooring with its subtle swirls of colour an ultra-contemporary appearance. With neutral interiors very much in vogue, this pastel grey will add a touch of elegance to any home environment.
Alternative finishes on the same limestone tiling also allow homeowners the option of creating an 'inside-outside' design scheme with a seamless flow between spaces. And such sophisticated effects can be further enhanced by adding larger format tiles and choosing to lay tiles in random lengths.

Architect Andrew Goodman explains what it took to create the UK's first load-bearing straw bale Passivhaus home.
Andrew Goodman is an architect with over 20 years experience running his own practice, currently as a sole practitioner based in Hertford. One of his recent projects has been for Dave and Mabel Howorth, who were looking to build a straw bale home for their retirement, with the added challenge of wanting to achieve the Passivhaus standard.
Dave Howorth already had an interest in straw bale buildings and had previously participated on one of Straw Works' projects. He was convinced that it was a good way to build and was also attracted by the affordability it provided.
It took several years for Dave to find his plot of land. When he bought it, it already had planning permission for a chalet style bungalow, which wasn't ever going to lend itself to either being built with straw bales or to the Passivhaus standard.
The plot was in the curtilage of an old, listed dwelling with thatched roof and lime plastered walls, and the local vernacular for Dutch barn style curved roofs also gave the extra ceiling height they were looking for, so these both provided a starting point for evolving the design.
Being a detached dwelling in an established orchard meant the trees would have some impact on shading the building in a positive way.
It was important to Dave and Mabel that the building should meet the Lifetime Home standard, which was about at that time (but since been partially absorbed into Building Standards). The standard had a dozen or so categories covering how someone with restricted mobility might approach and access the building, move through it with ease and move between levels if applicable.
The brief was to provide three main bedrooms, living accommodation, separate kitchen, dining and living room. The Lifetime element was incorporated by providing an extra reception room on the ground floor with access to a wet room, which could be a bedroom with en-suite in the future if needed.
The proposed building had roughly the same floor area as the original planning permission which was a help, and although the finishes were very different, they were judged to be appropriate for being in close proximity of the listed building, and planning permission was granted.
The foundation is an insulated slab system. Then there is a taped connection between the slab and the internal wall finish, which crosses over the base plate detail that you need on any straw bale construction. Instead of building first floor joists into the walls, they used a ledger beam approach attached to the box beam, with a membrane between the ledger beam and the box beam that connects the two plaster layers, the ground floor and first floor.
The curved roof uses a standard Intello membrane on the underside of the timber structure, which again is then connected to the render at first floor level.
A previous attempt by Fran Bradshaw to build the first load-bearing Passivhaus straw bale house just missed out on achieving the standard. Hers used a structural timber frame, so the bales may not have been as compressed and loaded as those at Haven Cottage. Andrew's assistant was convinced that load-bearing the straw bales would be the best way to go, and by using a wet lime plaster on the inside as the air barrier, it shouldn't be any different than using it on a brick block cavity wall. Haven Cottage also has an external lime render.
In terms of the construction, part of a ring beam is placed that can be used to compress the bales using wires that run from the base plate up to the top plate, which are then tightened. There is a typical compression of around 50mm for each storey height. Once it's compressed it is loaded with the next level of construction up to the underside of the roof.
Together with the structural engineer, they worked out a system of curved laminated beams that are actually within the overall depth of the roof. The roof has 40mm of Warmcel insulation. The laminated beams are only 300mm deep.
Airtightness tapes were used to connect the windows to the wet plaster reveals, and time will tell whether the added movement that straw bales naturally have will cause cracks in the render and impact on the airtightness. Andrew recommends taking care to look at the building over time, checking the plaster and renders and making sure they are kept in good condition to ensure there is no moisture ingress.
Dave was able to take a 12 month sabbatical from work and project manage the construction. He used a specialist substructure and groundworker who did the slab and drains and anything else below the ground. There were a couple of carpenters who worked collaboratively throughout on all of the timber elements. Straw Works provided teams of people to build the walls in their usual method, providing training to people who were interested in learning about the skills of straw bale construction. There was also a specialist roofing contractor.
Dave did all the airtightness taping and installation of the MVHR system himself.
The original design and PHPP model for the building was using a gas-fired boiler for heating, but Dave decided, partly for cost-saving, not to install the gas main.
There are three heaters in the house in the hallway and bathrooms, and a post-heater in the MVHR which raises the temperature a little bit above whatever it has come through the heat exchanger with.
Haven Cottage has solar PVs which provide all the required hot water in the summer, with a bit of Grid electricity needed in the winter to top it up. Passivhaus Plus Magazine has calculated that the building is actually making a profit on the electricity side.
Andrew didn't have any experience of straw bale buildings before coming into this project, but wasn't daunted as he found sufficient information around to understand the normal procedure, and from that work out how to do things slightly differently to meet the needs of achieving the Passivhaus standard.
Download a transcript of the interview with Andrew Goodman.
Fran Bradshaw from Anne Thorne Architects shares her experience of building an ultra low energy home using natural materials such as straw bales, lime render and clay plaster. The house is also aiming for the Passivhaus standard.
Fran Bradshaw was a builder before she became an architect but she's still very much interested in the practical side of things. A lot of the work she does at Anne Thorne Architects has a focus on sustainability and community-based work.
This episode is about a straw bale house that she's building for herself in Norfolk, UK.
Fran got inspired to build her own house with straw after working on a project for Haringey Council.
Upon completing the eco-hub, Fran noticed that lots of people commented on the quality of the environment.
The acoustics, humidity and the colours are all very different in a building constructed of natural materials – people liked this.
While there have been straw bale houses in mainland Europe that have reached Passivhaus standard, there is yet to be one in the UK.
The challenge is in turning what is a rather chaotic building material into something that is actually very precise, because to achieve the Passivhaus standard all the details on all the joints have to be very neat and carefully airtight.
Although one of the reasons Fran chose to build her house with straw was to involve her friends, she leveraged the experience of Straw Works.
So guided by one or two experts, the rest of the team members just need to be enthusiastic and prepared to do a little bit of physical work.
The site is very close to the Norfolk Broads and Fran discovered that reed thatch was being cut a mile away.
In order to thatch well, the reeds need to be the same strength, the same length and have the same diameter.
This is partly to do with how well and methodically the reeds are cut, which is why reed cutters are given long contracts to tend a certain patch.
The thatch is on fireboard which is moisture permeable but airtight. It's taped at the joints so that the airtight layer is just underneath the thatch.
Warmcel – recycled newspaper insulation – then goes in between the plasterboard and the underside of the fireboard.
Fran says the connections between the walls and the floor are always tricky to get right and, as this project is aiming for the Passivhaus standard, she opted for a reinforced raft.
While there was a level of compromise here it is quite economical on concrete and it gave Fran the opportunity to employ a local contractor (whereas many parts of this build have needed specialists).
Normally the airtightness layer would be on the inside of the house to avoid warm, moist air from the room going into the wall fabric.
As there's timber inside and the straw is outside the timber frame, in this case it would have been very difficult to make the airtight barrier work well (because there are timber penetrations and quite big bits of timber).
After discussing the best approach with their airtightness expert Paul Jennings, they decided to use the outside layer of render as the airtight layer.
So the concrete slab is the airtight layer in the ground which connects to the lime render on the outside of the straw walls and then to the fireboard on the roof.
They are pretty confident this won't be a problem because all the materials are moisture permeable and hygroscopic as well, and the MVHR ventilation will be operating at the coldest times.
Moisture monitors will also provide on-going data, so should any issues arise they can be addressed.
As the lime render is the airtight layer, any cracks that appear could affect the airtightness and thus the energy efficiency of the house.
However, this is just part of using these materials – these cracks will need to be repaired. Fran is expecting this at the end of the drying out process but is not sure how often the maintenance will be after that.
There's a Role for an Airtightness Geek!
Working with these kind of materials and trying to achieve high levels of airtightness, Fran can definitely see the need for a 'very precise airtightness geek person' who has a close eye on all the details as the build progresses.
This could develop within building firms or be a role that is taken on by a broader group of people.
There are certain key moments where you've got to be absolutely spot on, so find out where these are.
Planning for those moments and making sure that there are the right people around at the time will stand you in good stead.
You Can Always Do Things for Less BUT . . .
While Fran knows that there are always ways to cut costs, she derived great pleasure on this project from being able to work with people who she knew were going to do a really lovely job.
Although she may have paid a little bit more it's been worth it and she still believes it's been reasonably economical given the materials used.
Look carefully at what people have done in the past and trust your judgement about them.
For work like this Fran is not in favour of endless competitive tendering. On the whole she's selected people who she enjoys working with and who charge a reasonable rate for what they do.
The first air test of Fran's house recorded a figure of 0.9 air changes per hour.

Ventura Lawsuit To Re-Ignite TSA Revolt?
By: Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Source: http://www.prisonplanet.com/ventura-lawsuit-to-re-ignite-tsa-revolt.html
Deadline for TSA to respond to Bob Barr FOIA is today
News that Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura is striking back against being personally subjected to TSA harassment by suing the federal agency is sure to re-ignite a TSA revolt that has led many airports to consider abandoning the TSA altogether and replacing them with private security, while the TSA has until the end of today to respond to a FOIA request filed by former Congressman Bob Barr that could send further shockwaves through the Homeland Security-controlled federal body.
Having first privately told Alex Jones back in November of his intention to sue the TSA in a lawsuit that directly names DHS chief Janet Napolitano and TSA head John Pistole, yesterday's announcement of legal proceedings against new invasive groping measures introduced last year has provoked a tidal wave of media coverage.
The TSA has become embroiled in a number of lawsuits and legal challenges over the past few months as the agency's policies are flagrantly abused by TSA staffers in numerous blatant examples of sexual harassment, violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and wanton disregard for the 4th amendment to the Constitution.
Nowhere was this more evident than in the case of Lynsie Murley, 24, of Amarillo, Texas, who received compensation from the agency after TSA workers pulled down her blouse, exposed her breasts and then laughed in her face, leaving Murley, "extremely embarrassed and humiliated" according to the lawsuit.
The actions of Ventura, who is risking his television career by refusing to fly until TSA policies are changed, are sure to once again stir a national debate about TSA policies that peaked back in November and culminated in a national opt out day protest on Thanksgiving.
The revolt was led largely by the Drudge Report website, which flexed its significant media muscle to ensure the issue was kept in constant focus for weeks on end.
In a crude political stunt designed to deflate the success of the opt out protest, the TSA completely reversed its procedures as travelers across the country reported that the agency had temporarily roped off naked body scanners and relaxed supposedly mandatory invasive pat down policies.
This led to former Congressman Bob Barr's Liberty Guard organization filing a Freedom of Information Act request demanding an explanation as to why the TSA felt comfortable in briefly mothballing policies it claimed were vital for national security simply as a propaganda ploy.
Obviously reticent to address the FOIA, the TSA pulled out all the legal tricks to delay their response and in fact Liberty Guard's Shane Cory informs us via email today that the agency has until the end of the day to formally respond to the FOIA request.
Any admission that the TSA amended its policies as part of a coordinated media stunt will send shockwaves through an agency already on the ropes, and we'll have more on this story within the next 24 hours.

Maison & Objet Moves Fall Fair Online, Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin School to Relocate, and More News This Week
From significant business changes to noteworthy product launches, there's always something new happening in the world of design. In this weekly roundup, AD PRO has everything you need to know.
In Pursuit of a More Just World
Nonprofit Rallies Street Artists for a Cause
Italian nonprofit Yourban 2030 has produced a global street art campaign designed to raise funds for Black Lives Matter initiatives and a number of NGOs, as well as to support those particularly impacted by the pandemic. The program, called Color 4 Action, features black-and-white works by artists including Shepard Fairey (known for the iconic Barack Obama "Hope" design), Ron English, Jeremy Fish, and Okuda. Donors who give $25 or more to one of the supported organizations receive a link to download the artists' coloring book–style drawings.
Design Companies Continue to Step Up
On June 26, East Fork is set to stage its annual fundraiser for Campaign for Southern Equality. The funds raised will benefit Black and Non-Black People of Color (NBPOC) trans and queer artists and grassroots organizers. "When a company decides to host a fundraiser for a good and righteous cause, so often that check is mailed, thank-you notes are written, and the relationship ends there," Connie Matisse of East Fork tells AD PRO. "And so it has been a true privilege to be in an ongoing, ever-growing relationship with Campaign for Southern Equality….We are proud to help them support efforts led by and for LGBTQ BIPOC to build a more joyful, liberated future for all."
Elsewhere, direct-to-consumer sofa company Sabai, which was founded by Phantila Phataraprasit and Caitlin Ellen, focused on their own fundraiser. Ellen stated to AD PRO: "At Sabai, we really identify with the notion that there can be a radical re-envisioning of our future….So we decided to raise funds for Reclaim the Block via a raffle for a brand-new sofa. Ultimately, we were able to donate around $3,000 to fund community health and safety. We're a small business, but we're hoping we can continue to help out how we can—including donating furniture to housing for the formerly incarcerated."
Maison & Objet Changes Up Its Fall Fair
Yesterday Maison & Objet announced that it would shift its fall fair to take place online. The virtual fair will host a series of digital talks, showrooms, and more come September. Philippe Brocart, managing director of M&O, said in a statement: "Although there are encouraging signs of the pandemic beginning to decrease, we believe there are still far too many uncertainties regarding the travel conditions for international exhibitors and visitors. Furthermore, the lack of clarity regarding the ability to hold large gatherings in early September in France has played a major part in influencing our decision to call off the September edition of Maison & Objet, despite the fact that 80% of stands had already been reserved by April 2020."
The Postponed Design Miami/ Is Now Officially Canceled
And the same goes for Art Basel. Jen Roberts, CEO of Design Miami/, issued a statement that read: "While we are disappointed not to welcome the international design and art communities to Basel this September, together with our partners at Art Basel and MCH we recognize the responsibility in this decision. I know the Design Miami/ community all over the world continues to champion design expertise and contemporary innovation while we are physically apart. Soon, the brilliant designers, artists, gallerists, curators, and collaborators that make our fair possible will be together. In the meantime, we continue to support our networks and promote design."
First-Ever Dallas Kips Bay Show House Names Its Location
The inaugural event will take place at 5828 Woodland Drive in Old Preston Hollow's Woodland Estates neighborhood. Kicking off September 25, the show house is the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club's top fundraiser. The two-story house spans 11,476 square feet, and is influenced by Provence, France, with details like a pitched slate roof, and ivy-colored, stone and limestone exterior walls. The designers for the event have not yet been named. "This is such an important event for the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Clubs and the design industry alike," Dan Quintero, the executive director of the organization, said in a statement. "With the hardships so many have faced in 2020, we're more motivated than ever to host The Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, to continue raising critical funding for our kids and community, as well as provide an unforgettable opportunity for the Dallas area."

Frank Lloyd Wright Has a Big Week
Earlier this week just happened to mark Frank Lloyd Wright's birthday. But Wright posthumously made news for two additional reasons. First, his School of Architecture at Taliesin, which announced it would close earlier this year, is now planning to continue after a name change and a move to Cosanti and Arcosanti, nearby institutions designed by Paolo Soleri. Second, the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio and Frederick C. Robie House in Chicago's Oak Park and Hyde Park neighborhoods are reopening for tours, following the directives of the governor's "Restore Illinois" plan. Interior, outdoor, and biking tours started Thursday, with certain protocols in place.
McKinnon and Harris Is Now Shoppable Online
While some are bringing the outdoors in, McKinnon and Harris is taking it online. As of today, the outdoor-furniture maker is offering consumers access to its once trade-only offering with the unveiling of a digital storefront managed through 1stdibs. The company's bestselling Perrow drinks cart and Pavilion VI club chair are among the e-shop's initial listings, which are all available and ready to ship at purchase time. Sibling cofounders Will and Anne Massie will also have pieces from their personal antiquities collections—some of which have inspired past McKinnon and Harris designs—scattered throughout the online shop.
Ethan Allen Head Earns Pan-Asian Leadership Honor
Farooq Kathwari, Ethan Allen's president, chairman, and CEO, has been honored with this year's Ascend A-list Award. Presented by Ascend, North America's largest pan-Asian organization for business professionals, the honor recognizes global leadership. "It's a privilege to be in the company of leaders who are transforming business and government in the United States and beyond," Kathwari said in a statement. "It has been the honor of my life, as an American by choice, to become the leader of a quintessential American brand while working to advance human rights around the globe."
Harvard Names Sustainability Prizewinner
The Harvard Graduate School of Design's Wheelwright Prize for early-career architects was just announced. The innovative winning proposal by Daniel Fernández Pascual, "Being Shellfish: The Architecture of Intertidal Cohabitation," advocates using regenerative seaweed and shellfish in building materials, such as concrete, for more sustainable construction.

What does the Bible say about Asking Forgiveness?
After Solomon completed the temple of God, he offered a prayer of dedication. He gave praise to God's faithfulness and completeness, and prayed for his people. He confessed his finiteness in front of the infinite God. "But will God really dwell on earth with humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!" (2 Chronicles 6:18) He prayed humbly before God to forgive his people even if they commit sins. How thankful it is that we have our God who listens to our prayer and pleas!
Here are more encouraging Bible verses on forgiveness.
"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

His decision is supported by his family members, particularly his wife. If you want to know more about John Schnatter's wife, then take a look at our Annette Schnatter wiki.
John Schnatter, Papa John's founder and CEO, surprised everybody when he decided to step down from his position with the company on Thursday. He will be replaced by Steve Ritchie on January 1, 2018. Schnatter reportedly sparked controversy in November when he criticized the NFL's leadership over the ongoing national anthem protests by players saying, "Leadership starts at the top, and this is an example of poor leadership."
His statement received a ton of backlash, and later, Papa John's released an apology, with Steve Ritchie saying that it is "the right time to make this change."
However, the pizza mogul will remain with the company as chairman, and according to Papa John's press release, Schnatter will continue to "pursue his personal passion for entrepreneurship, leadership development and education."
A lot is known about John Schnatter's professional life, but very little is known about his personal life. Keep on reading to know more about his wife and family life.
Who Is Annette Schnatter?
According to sources, she was born Martha Annette Cox on February 11, 1960, which makes Annette Schnatter's age 57.
Not much is known about Annette Schnatter's childhood, as most of her personal life is not public knowledge.
Annette Schnatter and John Schnatter's Marriage
The Schnatters tied the knot in 1987, which means the happy couple have been married for 30 years now. John and Annette Schnatter's children are Kristine Schnatter, Danielle Schnatter, and Beau Schnatter.
Danielle Schnatter is married to Evan McWhirter, and the couple have an adorable son together. She used to work for Humana insurance, but later became an independent consultant at Arbonne International.

Maryland Gun Laws Get Stricter With 'Red Flag' Law and More
Three new Maryland gun laws go into effect in October, including a 'Red Flag' law that allows courts to remove firearms from potentially dangerous people.
While some folks call Maryland the Free State, Maryland gun laws are some of the strictest in the nation. Most long guns are fairly easy to buy, but purchasers must obtain a permit before buying a handgun.
Maryland: Liquor Store Clerk Shoots, Kills Armed Robber
Maryland also bans certain rifles that the state deems "assault weapons" and limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds. The state even requires private handgun sales to be process through a licensed FFL dealer.
However, Maryland gun laws are going to become even stricter when three new laws go into effect on Oct. 1, 2018.
New Maryland Gun Laws
The first law bans "bump stocks." These devices, which speed up the rate of fire in semi-auto rifles, have been been a major target for the anti-gun crowd since the shooting at the Route 91 Music Festival in Las Vegas.
Another law taking affect in October requires those convicted of domestic abuse to surrender guns to law enforcement or a firearms dealer. It is already illegal for anyone convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor to purchase a firearm. Now; however, those same people will have to give up previously purchased firearms.
Finally, Maryland has become one of the states instituting a "Red Flag" law. While Red Flag laws have been around a while, they are fairly new to most people. Only a few states have passed one of these laws designed to prevent violence by allowing courts to take firearms from individuals deemed "dangerous" to themselves and others.
Red Flag Laws
Proponents of Red Flag laws claim they are a tool to prevent violence. Through the law, depending on the state, courts can temporarily restrict firearm access to potentially dangerous people if asked. In Maryland, those asking for the court order must be police, medical personnel, close relatives or those in a relationship with the person. Those in favor of the laws say they can prevent violence, such as the shooting at a Rite Aid distribution center.
According to CBS Baltimore, family members of Snochia Moseley told investigators that she had been showing signs of mental illness. In fact, Moseley had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, this did not prevent the 26-year-old from purchasing a handgun and killing three people and then herself.
While no one seems to be against keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, some people do have concerns because of due process. The National Rifle Association has even claimed to favor some of these laws, with certain requirements, but fought to stop others the group deemed anti-gun.
Of course, Maryland gun laws have not lowered gun violence in the state, according to FBI crime stats. In fact, Baltimore was deemed the most dangerous city in America by USA Today. Only time will tell if these new laws will be effective.

Wear a life jacket or float coat when boating in cold water.
Waterfowl hunting season spans months in Arizona, first starting in the high country in October and moving into bigger bodies of water as we get closer to the New Year. While firearm safety is paramount for hunters, those planning on using boats and watercraft in pursuit of waterfowl also need to make life jackets and other safety precautions a top priority.
"Hunting is an important family tradition for many in Arizona, and taking the step of wearing a life jacket while pursuing ducks and other waterfowl will help ensure you have a successful day on the water," said Josh Hoffman, boating safety education coordinator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
Life jackets are particularly important as the temperatures drop. While Arizona winters are mild, cold water immersion and hypothermia can occur in water as cool as 70 degrees. Falling into or entering cold water causes an immediate gasp reflex that can fill the person's lungs with water. Wearing a life jacket will keep the person's head above water and body on the surface.
If you do fall overboard, stay calm, move slowly and don't try to take off clothing while in the water. And if the boat has capsized, it most likely will not sink and can be used as a platform. It's advised that boaters stay on top of the capsized vessel as much as possible in order to stay out of the water.
1. Proper clothing. Wear waterproof fabrics and layer clothing (i.e., layer one is a wicking base, layer two is clothing for added warmth, and layer three is an outer shell to keep out water or wind). Avoid cotton as it absorbs water and quickly reduces body temperature.
2. Float coat. A float coat provides the comfortable fit and warmth of an insulated jacket, while also providing the functionality of a life jacket. A float coat does not provide hypothermia protection or replace anti-exposure coveralls or a dry suit. Be sure to check that it's U.S. Coast Guard-approved.
3. Dry suit. A dry suit, or anti-exposure coveralls, keeps the boater dry and protects him or her from hypothermia. It's worn over proper clothing layers. Boaters should try it on with their clothing layers to ensure they still have needed mobility for the boating activity.
4. Life jacket. If boaters are not wearing a float coat, they should wear their life jacket at all times while on the water.
5. Communication devices. A boater should carry at least two communication devices that will work when wet, such as a VHF FM-DSC marine band radio and an emergency position-indicating radio beacon or personal locator beacon.
6. Blankets. Keep emergency spare blankets on board in case someone is suffering from hypothermia symptoms.
Boaters also can brush up on their knowledge by taking one of the Arizona Game and Fish Department's free education courses. Class schedules and details are posted online.

Snarky Puppy "Immigrance" Out March 15
Three-time Grammy-winning, genre-defying collective Snarky Puppy will release their new album, Immigrance, on March 15 via GroundUP Music. The album is produced by bassist-composer Michael League, who founded Snarky Puppy in 2003 and has helmed it into one of the most popular and influential bands of the current jazz and instrumental-music renaissance. Listen to "Xavi," the first single from Immigrance, via the player below.
Like Snarky Puppy's last album, 2016's Culcha Vulcha, Immigrance is a studio project featuring most of the same musicians and the same dynamic, creative spirit. However, it is also rawer and moodier than its predecessor. "Like Culcha Vulcha," League says via a press release, "this record is largely informed by our travels, and we're always trying to pass specific ideas through our filter and into our idiom without being disrespectful to the tradition at hand."
Immigrance also draws from the idea that humanity can benefit immensely when different cultures come together. As its title suggests, it is not without its political undertones, yet rather than scorn or pontificate, it celebrates multiculturality. This is a concept that Snarky Puppy has always embodied by utilizing sonic influences from all over the world, as well as musicians from every corner of the United States in addition to Argentina, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. "The band itself is a representation of what we're trying to express musically," League explains. "That people [who] come together from different places can bring their strengths and experiences, and how that can be beautiful and cohesive."
Snarky Puppy will release Immigrance shortly after hosting the upcoming edition of the GroundUP Music Festival, which will take place on Miami Beach, Florida, on February 8-10, with a line-up including David Crosby, Andrew Bird, Lalah Hathaway and more. After that, the ensemble will head to Los Angeles for a show at the Walt Disney Concert Hall with the Los Angeles Philharmonic on February 23, before starting their World Tour in April. Full dates of the tour will be announced soon.

Prince Philip 'could be prosecuted' over car crash
Jack Malvern, Nadeem Badshah
January 18 2019, 12:00pm, The Times
The Duke of Edinburgh's Land Rover overturned in the collision near the Sandringham Estate. Two women in the other car were taken to hospital but later dischargedTHE MEGA AGENCY
The Duke of Edinburgh could be charged with driving without due care and attention after his car accident yesterday, according to a lawyer specialising in traffic offences.
However, Nick Freeman, the solicitor known as Mr Loophole, said the duke could avoid prosecution by surrendering his licence.
The duke, 97, is recovering at Sandringham after his Land Rover turned over during a collision with a Kia at a junction near the Queen's Norfolk estate. A spokesman for Norfolk police said: "As is standard procedure with injury collisions, the incident will be investigated and any appropriate action taken.
"We are aware of the public interest in this case, however, as with any other investigation it would be inappropriate to speculate on the causes of the collision until…

Eliza Hamilton Dunlop (1796 – 20 June 1880) was an Irish–Australian poet and songwriter, known for composing the poem "The Aboriginal Mother" among others. She was born in County Armagh, Ireland, and was raised by her grandmother and a guardian after her father travelled to India and her mother died. Later she travelled to India to visit her father and discovered that she had two Indian half-sisters. Her writing career began in Ireland while she was still a child. After moving to Australia, her works were published in newspapers there, some set to music by Isaac Nathan after he arrived in Australia in 1841.

Early and personal life
Dunlop was born Eliza Hamilton in County Armagh, Ireland, in 1796, and grew up there. Her father was Solomon Hamilton, a lawyer, who raised her Anglican. Her mother died shortly after her birth. Later, her father travelled with her two oldest siblings to Bengal, to become a judge in the Supreme Court of India. Therefore she had to be raised by her grandmother and later by a guardian. Her father sent her money from India; however, she had a difficult time retrieving it.

Her first husband was James Sylvius Law, an astronomer; they married in 1812, when she was 16 years old. The couple had two children, Mary Sophia Georgina born in 1816, and a son. The family moved to Coleraine. In 1820, she went to Kolkata, India, to see her father. She found out there that he had in fact died while she was travelling. She also learned that she had two Indian half-sisters. She was able to receive some financial security by inheriting her father's money as well as from a settlement of George, one of her brothers. Afterwards, she returned to Britain.

She married again in 1823, this time to David Dunlop, a bookseller who was from County Antrim, at the Portpatrick village in Wigtownshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Both of them had interest in politics, though in spite of Eliza's enthusiasm for David to pursue a political career, he never managed. They had several children, including a girl who died when she was 8 years old. The couple later moved to Sydney, along with the four children they had by this time, arriving at Port Jackson on 25 February 1838. David was a magistrate briefly in Penrith, New South Wales, appointed by the governor, George Gipps. In 1839, he became a police magistrate in the Wollombi village, as well as an Aborigines protector, where he constructed a stone house. He kept these positions until 1847.

Writing career
She began writing poems as a child; while she was still living in Ireland, some of her works were published in local magazines, newspapers, journals, and books, such as the Dublin Penny Journal. During her brief visit to India, some of her works were published in a journal there as well.

After moving to Australia, Dunlop continued writing poems, as well as song lyrics which were given a tune by Isaac Nathan, after he arrived in Sydney in April 1841. Many of her works were published in a variety of newspapers there, including the Maitland Mercury, the Sydney Gazette, and The Australian. In particular, she wrote the poem "The Aboriginal Mother" in 1838, which she composed due to her opposition to the Myall Creek massacre. It was the fourth poem she had written since she arrived in Australia. The massacre had killed 29 Aboriginal Australians, and occurred just a few months after Dunlop's arrival in Australia. The poem was first published in the Australian on 13 November 1838. The Sydney Herald criticized the poem greatly, causing Dunlop to write a letter to the Herald's editor disapproving of the criticism. Dunlop also collated a selection of poetry in manuscript, entitled: "The Vase", which includes "The Aboriginal Mother", held in the Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW.

Dunlop wrote "Nung Ngnun," another poem which became widely published. She was also the writer of "The eagle chief," a romantic poem which was first published on 21 April 1842 in the Sydney Gazette. It is believed that the idea of the poem was inspired by Biraban. In addition, she wrote The Cousins of Aledo, a play based on 'Blanch,' a poem by Mary Russell Mitford; the play is currently in the Mitchell Library. Some of the lyrics Dunlop constructed appeared in Australian Melodies, a series by Isaac Nathan.

Nathan published many songs to Dunlop's lyrics in England, stating "I shall not set a line of my music to any words of the Sydney writers whilst I may calculate on receiving productions from your powerful pen". In addition to her writing, Dunlop helped conserve words aboriginal to Australia, with the help of her daughter, Rachel, and several other members of the family. Following her husband's appointment as a police magistrate at Wollombi in the Hunter Valley, she engaged the Indigenous Darkinyung, Awabakal and Wonnarua people, learning the languages of the region.  Her transcriptions of word lists, songs and poems have survived in manuscript, held in the Mitchell Library, State Library of NSW.

Later life and death
On 24 March 1863, David died at Wollombi, New South Wales. Eliza, however, lived another 17 years, dying on 20 June 1880, at age 84, also in Wollombi. During these 17 years, she wrote less poetry than previously. She is buried at Wollombi's Church of England cemetery. In 1981, long after her death, a collection containing Dunlop's poems was made.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra's elder brother Vir Chopra passes away due to COVID-19
Jul 8, 2021 Elder brother, Vidhu vinod chopra, Vir chopra
Producer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra's elder brother Vir Chopra passed away yesterday due to COVID-19. He had worked with Vidhu on films like 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.', 'Broken Horses', 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' and '3 Idiots'.
We have learnt that Vir Chopra passed away on 5th July. The producer got infected with the virus while he was in the Maldives. After two days, he landed in Mumbai and was rushed to H. N. Reliance hospital, for 21 days. He was kept under the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). He passed away on the 5th evening and was cremated on the 6th.
Vir Chopra played the role of script doctor on many Vidhu Vinod Chopra projects. For instance, during the scripting of 'Parinda', when Vidhu shared the first draft with Vir, he loved the first half but didn't like the second half, so working on his suggestions Vidhu tweaked the script and that made all the difference to the now cult classic film.
Vir was the husband of sound designer Namita Nayak Chopra and father of actor Abhay Chopra aka Vicky Chopra.
Vir also worked as the creative producer for the films like 'Ferrari Ki Sawaari', 'Eklavya: The Royal Guard', 'Parineeta', 'Mission Kashmir' and 'Kareeb'.

You sought to truly understand and challenged me in ways to think differently or approach things differently. To be compassionate to myself for my work and efforts.
-Client, Ryan Couples Therapy
You are very comforting, soothing, welcoming and understanding. I would imagine that you've experienced similar challenges in your life. You seem to truly understand the situation.
You established a very easy, comforting atmosphere and aura. Your location and set up is terrific and I truly think that helps. It feels safe, secure, secluded enough to relax and converse.
You are very calming, and make me feel like everything I'm going through is manageable/normal. Also, you are very good at asking me to look at something another way.
Your style is relaxed, open, calm, and soothing. You point out positives but also push people to think different and grow.
The one thing that stands out in my mind, about what you've said to make me feel understood, etc., is that I need to have compassion toward myself. That hit home with me. I have never really stopped and thought that it was ok to be compassionate toward myself. That concept has really helped me and continues to help me.
I have gained more understanding of myself. You translate the technical terms, approach, and all those things that a highly educated therapist knows into a simple understanding and application. You bring it down to my level and help me identify and better understand the what and how.
You make it a conversation and not just a Q&A session. Not only do you listen, but you talk with/to me – sharing life experiences, validating and often challenging me to think of things in a different way.
You are not judgmental. You show compassion. You make me feel comfortable enough to share. So, from my perspective, it's the entire you that makes me trust you.
I think the structure of our sessions make me feel valuable. It's the conversation and not the "what I am hearing you say…" approach. You allow me to share what is happening in my life, how I am feeling and thinking and from there we zero in on important things and then explore what those "things" mean, where they may come from and how I can better address them.

Lead on, Spirit! – The Unique Geek
By RavenFace On Dec 18, 2008
Let's get it out of the way. The Spirit, in wide release Dec. 25th, is not a straight-forward adaptation of the Will Eisner comic strip. That always seems to be the "concern" of the comic fan, and it rings hollow, a standard applied to justify having read the source material. In essence, by asking if something is "faithful" to the source, they are saying, "I've read this, and I want credit for it. I did Prague before they built the McDonalds. I was into The Strokes back when they played in my friend's loft." Get over yourself, Spirit "fan," a movie needs to be judged on its own merits. The majority of people who see it have never heard of the character, don't want to hear you talk about it and don't want fries with that.
So, what will they find, this fresh new audience? After the previews (through which many will have fingers crossed for a glimpse of Terminator Salvation), they will be met with a disembodied voice over and a floating woman's unseen face, all stabby light and murky moan, calling for the soul of the Spirit. It's disorienting, but hope remains. We've just started, and maybe the light will clear up and we'll see her. She might be hot! Then some credits and some atmosphere, and then Eva Mendes rising from the water, and it's unclear whether or not she has super powers or maybe she's the same woman from the pre-credit sequence, and then The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) is talking about eggs and throwing a toilet at The Spirit (Gabriel Macht), and people are killed but don't die and you realize it's a cartoon. You've unwittingly paid to see an homage to Merrie Melodies.
This opening fight takes place in an unexplained battlefield of primordial ooze from which they pull kitchen sinks and lamp posts to smash each other with, and I suppose it's a metaphor for the entire film – things pulled out of nowhere because they have the effects to do it with. The Spirit and The Octopus are established as characters similar to Wolverine and Sabertooth, like, they can regenerate and can't be killed and like to punch and karate chop each other because they can and it looks cool, but there's no consequence.
Then the cops show up, and the film has a human center. Dan Lauria is excellent as Dolan, banging out a pastiche of every noir cop he must have loved watching as a kid. He's got that "aw jeez," face that served him well as the dad on the Wonder Years and is clearly having a great time. His daughter, the Spirit's personal physician, played by Sarah Paulson is the only real, read as "attainable by mortals," woman in the movie, and hope returns. It was a rocky Tom and Jerry start, but here's something I can relate to and maybe there's a story here, and we can settle in.
We start to enjoy the effects, the digital city and the colors. They are, as expected, amazing. The snow and the lights are beautiful, the city is beautiful, the Spirit looks cool. Macht's voice is great. Like, the kind of cool, smooth, gruff commanding voice Bale should have used in Dark Knight. What writer/director Frank Miller gives him to say, however, is, um…there's a lot of inconsistency in how it's presented. Like, the standard way to represent captions is a voice over, and we get that sometimes, but then sometimes, The Spirit is telling the plot to a cat (!!?) and sometimes breaks the fourth wall and talks to you. Yes you, gentle reader.
Allow this departure. The ancient Greek poet Archilochus categorized people as either foxes or hedgehogs, with the distinction being "The fox knows many things, and the hedgehog knows one big thing." The one thing the hedgehog knows is formidable, it works for him, so he keeps doing it over and over, and he survives. He doesn't quite please, but he sticks around. Frank "The Hedgehog" Miller might dabble in other mediums, might sniff around other story models, but when it's time to put it together, he pulls his body into a tight noir-ball and rolls spine-first towards the gritty part of town.
His great trick, his gift to comics, was to fuse a hard pulp sensibility into a cartoon narrative, to bring an adult, sophisticated sensibility to funny books. He took the "luckless loser" model Stan Lee wowed 'em with in 1963, basted it with Raymond Chandler sauce, set to three hundred fifty degrees and came out with a super-pleasing Dark Knight and Daredevil roast that reserved his hard-backed chair at the banquet hall of Sequential Narrative Greats. It can be argued this had been done before but not with characters everyone knew and not as successfully. He was an innovator, and his reputation is earned, but for thirty years he's been a geriatric Mick Jagger croaking out Satisfaction or a Betty White trying to wink seductively. He's a rapping granny.
This is not to say he's completely lost it, but what ultimately happened with this movie is everyone decided to do whatever they wanted, like do what they like best, and it all got the ok.
Jackson: "Hey, Frank, Frank, what if I do my makeup like the guy from Fall Out Boy on a crying jag?"
Miller: "My city shrieks…no. My city bleeds blood… Yeah, Sam, fabulous! I love it! My city chortles with infrastructure…hmm. Just wear and say whatever you want, Sam, and tell Scarlett to wear the same thing. I trust you. My city crackles with alternate side of the street parking rules…"
He probably should not have been the director, since he allowed the beauty or oversized personalities of the actors to overwhelm him. A lot of the performances read as first or second takes, and I wonder if that's Miller afraid to tell hot chicks they're not perfect or their only having a few days with people, since the rest was needed for post-production.
This works OK with Lauria, since what he wanted to do was distinctive and based in historical performances, and it works nicely with Paulson and Macht, since what they wanted to do was earnestly impress, but when it comes to Jackson, ummm.
I like Jackson. He's totally cool, and at the press conference he was awesome. Just smooth and personable and effortless. He admitted a childhood love for Aquaman, and is really the only actual comic fan in the cast (Miller's cameo as a cop aside), but he is out of control here, and why not? No one helped him refine his ideas. Scarlett Johansson, as Silken Floss, gets dragged into his trailer and tags along. The relationship they set up for them in the film is essentially Harley Quinn and the Joker. She makes a stately Harley, but was probably a little more "noir" in Match Point.
And with her mention, it's probably a good time to point out how very beautiful they make the women look in this movie. Like, mission accomplished. Miller loves women in an, "I eat red meat and have scars on my knuckles from punching monster trucks" kind of way. Like, pure testosterone ass worshipping dude-ry. Mendes and Paz Vega as Plaster of Paris sizzle (my city sizzles) and enhance the overall well-done design of the movie.
There's a lot that works but not always at the same time. When it's all clicking, and they're not randomly coloring something, it can be cool. In particular, a scene where Macht rips medical tape off his chest and demands a red tie is classic Miller and stirring excitement. When they have him skitter like a computer cursor across an imaginary power line, however, it doesn't matter how awesome his outfit or the snow looks, it's just off-putting.
Once Upon a Time in Mexico is a movie that starts off pretty normally and then descends into batshit, eyes gouged out, gun-firing craziness, and maybe that should have been the model here. Like, there we get a standard plot and then the bottom drops out, and we fall into the crazy well, trailing LOLs and WTFs?
The Spirit starts off crazy when we expect serious, then tries to pull it back in, then goes for weird juvenile sight gags then tries to be tough, and we're disoriented. Theres also a pathlogical fascination with a prop photocopy of Mendes' rump. If you took a shot every time the camera cuts to it, you would be wasted by the third act, and maybe "wasted" is the right word to end with here. There's a lot of work and opportunity that went by the wayside here, a lot of talented people and some great source material that never quite gels. The parts that look good, look good, but maybe next time, they'll hire a fox to put it all together.
Frank, If I give you the photocopy, will you take this thing out of my mouth?

Early Buzz: Frank Miller's The Spirit is Worse Than Expected | /Film 14 years ago
[…] Unique Geek: "The Spirit starts off crazy when we expect serious, then tries to pull it back in, then goes for weird juvenile sight gags then tries to be tough, and we're disoriented. Theres also a pathlogical fascination with a prop photocopy of Mendes' rump. If you took a shot every time the camera cuts to it, you would be wasted by the third act, and maybe "wasted" is the right word to end with here. There's a lot of work and opportunity that went by the wayside here, a lot of talented people and some great source material that never quite gels. The parts that look good, look good, but maybe next time, they'll hire a fox to put it all together." […]

Some loved this movie and some just didn't understand it. It's an innovative Frank Miller film with lots of amazing film work much like Sin City I was very entertained. Hopefully more people appreciate this one.
I hyped The Spirit on Everhype.com and gave it 96% which I think is fairly accurate.

Spirit lover says 14 years ago
hey guys i really liked the spirit movie. although i must admit when i first watched it i was like " what the hell?? i wasted 20 bucks on buying this?? but the second time i watched it and i really payed attention and it was very entertaining. Even though there are a few plot holes and allot of mess-ups i think s it's a pretty good film
( Actualy that is the same thing that happened to me when i watched "Zoolander" for the first time. it was horrible then i watched i again and laughed my ass off!!)
So kudos to "The Spirit" for being a diamond in the rough! ( or however that expression goes!!XD)


The leading point to start with is cut out all refined carbohydrates. You have to obtain insulin controlled and also decreasing carbs is the most effective means to do this. As long as the body is pumping out insulin you will certainly never ever develop into a weight loss maker. As insulin levels drop your body will begin to eliminate sodium and you will certainly lose water weight along with shedding fat. Study after research has actually shown that a high fat diet regimen is a lot more effective in weight loss that a low fat diet plan. Insulin resistance is one of the major aspects of persistent illness today as well as reducing carbohydrates will aid you obtain control of this.
It is important to have fats and healthy proteins in all your dishes. Believe it or not carbs are not essential because your body could make them. It is necessary to not overdo the healthy protein since your body could likewise transform that to glucose. Likewise, high protein intake and cancer are correlated. Bear in mind that pet increased today in huge commercial procedures have lots of antibiotics and also hormone and also both will certainly impede you from dropping weight.
Fats also add to systemic swelling if you are consuming the incorrect fats. Basically eliminate all veggie oils in your diet plan as well as you will be much healthier. Healthy fats leave you really feeling overfilled and will certainly decrease snacking so make sure you consume great deals of healthy and balanced fats. Your carbs ought to be coming from veggies. Stop consuming starchy carbs and your body will certainly thank you. One more take advantage of vegetables is the high fiber content that makes your net carbohydrates also lower. Like your mama always said "Eat your veggies".
Dropping weight is 80% diet regimen and also 20 % exercise. While you could lose weight without exercise, I do not suggest it. Weight lifting and doing high intensity interval training seems to supply one of the most bang for the buck. Muscles burn power and also the even more you have, the more calories you shed. Cardio exercise could be disadvantageous because you end up being hungrier and also consuming much more. Do not think the misconceptions of losing muscular tissue. If you are on a low carb, high fat diet the ketones you will certainly be creating are muscular tissue sparing. Capitalize on that.
If I were to minimize weight management into my top two suggestions this is what I would certainly do. Initial thing is I would cut down on the quantity of carbohydrates I consume. Simply eliminating all processed carbs would suffice. That means primarily absolutely nothing that can be found in a box. Cereal, rice, pasta, and bread are instances of this. In the preliminary I would quit eating starches too. You can reintroduce them after you have gotten to your optimal weight.My 2nd top idea is get rid of all veggie oils. The processing involved with these oils make them harmful. If you prepare with them you will be getting trans fats. I believe at this moment everyone understands that trans-fats are incredibly toxic to you. All vegetable oils have a minor amount of trans-fats in them. When you cook with them the trans-fats could go from around 1 %to 20 %. Just don't do it. Rather cook with health saturated oils such as palm oil, coconut oil, or even butter. Butter is a staple in my life currently as well as I am healthier for it.
Did you recognize that Alzheimer's is called Diabetes Type III now(Alzheimer and Diabetes link)? Diabetes is a dietary illness and if you wish to regulate or reverse it you need to transform your diet. The Loveland Medical Clinic informs people on diet so they could obtain control of their health and wellness without having to take pills. We show you just what foods you ought to be eating and also what foods to avoid. The government as well as big business agriculture has lied to the American public for years which is why 66% of the American public is now overweight or overweight. How about we do some preventative medicine and also obtain control of our health currently prior to we go broke as a country.
There are many healthy diet regimen plans there. Anyone should have the ability to reduce weight on any diet regimen strategy. Whether or not the strategy is good for your total health is arguable. You have actually become aware of all the plans. Weight Watchers, Metabolic Proving ground, Slimfast, and also the listing takes place. Some usage hormonal agent therapy as well as others try to market you on their supplements. I am sorry however infusing HCG and also eating a 800 calorie diet regimen is just not healthy. If you take a look at the components of a few of the supplements these companies are offering you will certainly see that there is a great deal of scrap in them. You can not simply reduce calories, you have to change your diet plan. The Loveland Medical Clinic changes our person to a healthy way of life as well as diet regimen that will certainly allow you to age beautifully. It is not simply for how long you live, it is exactly how practical you go to your age. I still want to have the ability to ride my bike up a hill at 80 years old. Exactly how about you?
The objective of the Loveland Medical Clinic is to educate individuals ways to optimize their health so they can live and also age gracefully.

Let This Be A Lesson (2013) at Yale University Art Gallery
# click the upper-left icon to select videos from the playlist
source: Yale University Art Gallery 2014年7月21日
For six centuries, history painting—pictures based on stories from myth, scripture, and ancient and modern history—was the most prestigious work a painter could do. Renaissance artists and writers laid down the definitions, goals, and rules. We outline these and look at many examples of how they changed as pictorial narrative evolved until its eclipse in the 19th century.
Let This Be A Lesson (2013)
In fall 2013 John Walsh, Director Emeritus of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, presented a popular semester-long public lecture series that took a close look at eleven important paintings from Yale's art museums that represent scenes from history, myth, scripture, or literature. The lectures traced the tradition of "history painting"—the category to which all of these works belong—from the Renaissance on through its rise to official dominance, its fall from privilege in the eras of Realism in the 19th century and abstract art in the 20th, and its reappearances in the 21st.
