Modern sculpture is generally considered to have begun with the work of Auguste Rodin, who is seen as the progenitor of modern sculpture. While Rodin did not set out to rebel against the past, he created a new way of building his works.[2][3] He "dissolved the hard outline of contemporary Neo-Greek academicism, and thereby created a vital synthesis of opacity and transparency, volume and void".[4] Along with a few other artists in the late 19th century who experimented with new artistic visions in sculpture like Edgar Degas and Paul Gauguin, Rodin invented a radical new approach in the creation of sculpture. Modern sculpture, along with all modern art, "arose as part of Western society's attempt to come to terms with the urban, industrial and secular society that emerged during the nineteenth century".[5]
Modernist sculpture movements include Art Nouveau, Cubism, Geometric abstraction, De Stijl, Suprematism, Constructivism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Futurism, Formalism Abstract expressionism, Pop-Art, Minimalism, Postminimalism, Land art, Conceptual art, and Installation art among others.

The modern sculpture movement can be said to begin at the Rodin exhibit at the Universal Exhibition held in Paris in 1900. At this event Rodin showed his Burghers of Calais, Balzac, Victor Hugo statues, and the exhibition included the first public showing of his Gates of Hell which included The Thinker.[6][7]
Cubist sculpture, in the early 20th century, was a style that developed in parallel with cubist painting, and the formal experiments of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. Beginning around 1909 and evolving through the early 1920s cubist artists developed new means of constructing works of art using collage, sculptural assemblage using disparate materials and traditional sculpture making from plaster and clay molds. Some sources name Picasso's 1909 bronze Head of a Woman as the first cubist sculpture.[8]

Artists like Raymond Duchamp-Villon (1876-1918), whose career was cut short by his death in military service, and Alexander Archipenko, who'd arrived in Paris in 1908 and whose 1912 Walking Woman were very quick to follow Braque and Picasso's lead.[9] Joseph Csaky, a sculptor from Hungary, exhibited his first cubist sculptures in Paris in 1911. Duchamp-Villon, Jacques Lipchitz, Henri Laurens and Ossip Zadkine and others joined the earlier cubist sculptors.[10][11]
In the early 20th century, during his period of cubist innovation, Pablo Picasso revolutionized the art of sculpture when he began creating his constructions fashioned by combining disparate objects and materials into one constructed piece of sculpture; Picasso reinvented the art of sculpture with his innovative use of constructing a work in three dimensions with disparate material, the sculptural equivalent of the collage in two-dimensional art. Just as collage was a radical development in two-dimensional art; so was construction a radical development in three-dimensional sculpture. The advent of Surrealism led to things occasionally being described as "sculpture" that would not have been so previously, such as "involuntary sculpture" in several senses, including coulage. In later years Picasso became a prolific potter, leading, with interest in historic pottery from around the world, to a revival of ceramic art, with figures such as George E. Ohr and subsequently Peter Voulkos, Kenneth Price, and Robert Arneson. Marcel Duchamp originated the use of the "found object" (French: objet trouvé) or readymade with pieces such as Fountain (1917).[citation needed]
Similarly, the work of Constantin Brâncuși at the beginning of the century paved the way for later abstract sculpture. In revolt against the naturalism of Rodin and his late 19th-century contemporaries, Brâncuși distilled subjects down to their essences as illustrated by the elegantly refined forms of his Bird in Space series (1924). These elegantly refined forms became synonymous with 20th-century sculpture.[12] In 1927, Brâncuși won a lawsuit against the U.S. customs authorities who attempted to value his sculpture as raw metal. The suit led to legal changes permitting the importation of abstract art free of duty.[13]
Brâncuși's impact, with his vocabulary of reduction and abstraction, is seen throughout the 1930s and 1940s, and exemplified by artists such as Gaston Lachaise, Sir Jacob Epstein, Henry Moore, Alberto Giacometti, Joan Miró, Ásmundur Sveinsson, Julio González, Pablo Serrano, Jacques Lipchitz[14] and also by the 1940s abstract sculpture was impacted and expanded by Alexander Calder, Len Lye, Jean Tinguely, and Frederick Kiesler who were pioneers of Kinetic art.
Post-1950s
Since the 1950s Modernist trends in sculpture both abstract and figurative have dominated the public imagination and the popularity of Modernist sculpture had sidelined the traditional approach. Picasso was commissioned to make a maquette for a huge, 50-foot (15 m)-high public sculpture to be built in Chicago, known usually as the Chicago Picasso. He approached the project with a great deal of enthusiasm, designing a sculpture which was ambiguous and somewhat controversial. What the figure represents is not known; it could be a bird, a horse, a woman, or a totally abstract shape. The sculpture, one of the most recognizable landmarks in downtown Chicago, was unveiled in 1967. Picasso refused to be paid $100,000 for it, donating it to the people of the city.[citation needed]
In the late 1950s and the 1960s, abstract sculptors began experimenting with a wide array of new materials and different approaches to creating their work. Surrealist imagery, anthropomorphic abstraction, new materials and combinations of new energy sources and varied surfaces and objects became characteristic of much new modernist sculpture. Collaborative projects with landscape designers, architects, and landscape architects expanded the outdoor site and contextual integration. Artists such as Isamu Noguchi, David Smith, Alexander Calder, Jean Tinguely, Richard Lippold, George Rickey, Louise Bourgeois, and Louise Nevelson came to characterize the look of modern sculpture.[citation needed]
By the 1960s Abstract expressionism, Geometric abstraction and Minimalism, which reduces sculpture to its most essential and fundamental features, predominated. Some works of the period are: the Cubi works of David Smith, and the welded steel works of Sir Anthony Caro, as well as welded sculpture by a large variety of sculptors, the large scale work of John Chamberlain, and environmental installation scale works by Mark di Suvero. Other Minimalists and Postminimalists include Tony Smith, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Anne Truitt, Ronald Bladen, Giacomo Benevelli, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Richard Serra, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Eva Hesse, Christo, Walter De Maria, Robert Smithson, and others like John Safer who added motion and monumentality to the theme of purity of line,[15] led contemporary abstract sculpture in new directions. During the 1960s and 1970s figurative sculpture by pop artists and modernist artists in stylized forms by artists such as: George Segal, Claes Oldenburg, Arman, Leonard Baskin, Ernest Trova, Marisol Escobar, Paul Thek, Manuel Neri and others became popular. In the 1980s several artists, among others, exploring figurative sculpture were Robert Graham in a classic articulated style and Fernando Botero bringing his painting's "oversized figures" into monumental sculptures. Ceramic sculpture as practiced by Pablo Picasso, Peter Voulkos, Stephen De Staebler, Kenneth Price, and others became an important idiom of modern sculpture in the 20th century.[citation needed]

Site specific and environmental art works are represented by artists: Andy Goldsworthy, Walter De Maria,[23] Richard Long, Richard Serra, Robert Irwin,[24] George Rickey, and Christo and Jeanne-Claude-led contemporary abstract sculpture in new directions. Artists created environmental sculpture on expansive sites in the "land art in the American West" group of projects. These land art or "earth art" environmental scale sculpture works exemplified by artists such as Robert Smithson, Michael Heizer, James Turrell (Roden Crater). Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, Jackie Winsor, Keith Sonnier, and Bruce Nauman, among others were pioneers of Postminimalist sculpture.
Also during the 1960s and 1970s artists as diverse as Eduardo Paolozzi, Chryssa, Walter De Maria, Claes Oldenburg, George Segal, Edward Kienholz, Nam June Paik, Wolf Vostell, Duane Hanson, and John DeAndrea explored abstraction, imagery, and figuration through video art, environment, light sculpture, and installation art in new ways.
Conceptual art is art in which the concept(s) or idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns. Works include One and Three Chairs, 1965, by Joseph Kosuth, and An Oak Tree, 1973, by Michael Craig-Martin, and those of Joseph Beuys and James Turrell among others.[25]
Postmodern sculpture occupies a broader field of activities than Modernist sculpture. Rosalind Krauss identified sculpture in the expanded field, a series of oppositions around the work's relationship to its environment that describe the various sculpture-like activities that are postmodern sculpture, creating a theoretical explanation that could adequately fit the developments of Land art, Minimalist sculpture, and site-specific art into the category of "sculpture":
Site-Construction: the intersection of landscape and architecture
Axiomatic Structures: the combination of architecture and not-architecture
Marked sites: the combination of landscape and not-landscape
Sculpture: intersection of not-landscape and not-architecture

Contemporary genres
Modern sculpture is often created outdoors, as in environmental art and environmental sculpture, often in full view of spectators. Light sculpture and site-specific art also often make use of the environment. Site-specific artwork is intentionally created for a specific place. The term was first used in the mid-1970s by sculptors Patricia Johanson, Dennis Oppenheim, Athena Tacha, and others.[27] Site specific environmental art was described as a movement by architectural critic Catherine Howett[28] and art critic Lucy Lippard.[29] Land art, Earthworks, (Earth art) is an art movement that makes specific use of the real landscape to form works of sculpture that are located in and make use of nature generally in altered form. It is a form of sculpture created in nature, from nature, using materials found in nature like dirt, soil, rocks, logs, branches, leaves, and water, as well as man made materials like Chain-link fencing, barbed wire, rope, rubber, glass, concrete, metal, asphalt, and mineral pigments. Ice sculpture is a form of ephemeral sculpture that uses ice as the raw material. It is popular in China, Japan, Canada, Sweden, and Russia. Ice sculptures feature decoratively in some cuisines, especially in Asia. Kinetic sculptures are sculptures that are designed to move, which include mobiles. Snow sculptures are usually carved out of a single block of snow about 6 to 15 feet (4.6 m) on each side and weighing about 20–30 tons. The snow is densely packed into a form after having been produced by artificial means or collected from the ground after a snowfall.
Sound sculptures take the form of indoor sound installations, outdoor installations such as aeolian harps, automatons, or be more or less near conventional musical instruments. Sound sculpture is often site-specific. Art toys have become another format for contemporary artists since the late 1990s, such as those produced by Takashi Murakami and Kid Robot, designed by Michael Lau, or hand-made by Michael Leavitt.[30]

I always struggle to sum up who I am so I will keep it short and sweet.
I was born, raised and still live in the same Florida town.
which is by far my greatest and proudest accomplishment.
I am a new Mother, a new wife, and a seeker of all things that bring smiles.
Our new little family of three is what makes me smile the most!


A friend of mine who has been working out with much great results, I may add, has decided to go to buytestoripped.com to get a pre-workout energy amplifier. He has read plenty of good ravings about this product and he wants to give it a try. He thinks it wouldn't hurt to try something like this since he's really on his way to getting a very nice form. Well, to each his own. It might really help him achieve his goal pretty fast. So, why not!
It would be a good suggestion for your friend.


North Prairie Family Farms was built on returning to the basics. Wanting to return to a style of farming that was practiced before genetic modified seeds existed, a small group of farmers got together and decided to make that change themselves.
Founded by a small group of 12 farmers(link to 12 founding farmers) they sought to break away from selling their harvest to large agro-businesses. They wanted to offer consumers the best their canola fields had to offer: a non-GMO product carefully cold pressed under high European standards. They wanted to show canola oil at its finest: packed with flavour and health benefits in an all-natural product without the use of chemicals.
Our passion for cultivating a product that's better in every way guides our growing practices. Today, our company has grown by over 100 farm families that share these same basic values of returning to the basics.
North Prairie Gold is the result of these superior crops now grown and we are proud to share our passion with you.

Resettled families in North suffer without basic medical facilities
[TamilNet, Tuesday, 26 October 2010, 06:00 GMT]
The female patients of the families allowed to resettle in Ki'linochchi district are forced to travel a long distance to Jaffna or Vavuniyaa as there is no female medical specialist in Ki'linochchi government hospital, hospital sources said. Meanwhile, there is no hospital at all in Vadamaraadchi East where more than six thousand uprooted people had been allowed to resettle and the people have to come to Jaffna Teaching Hospital for treatment of all kinds of illness travelling a long distance, sources in Jaffna said. Sri Lanka government which says that it is gradually improving medical services in the North has failed to provide even the basic medical facilities to the resettled people in Vanni and Vadmaraadchi East, the sources further said.
The female medical specialist attached to Ki'linochchi government hospital had left her post two months ago and the post still remains vacant.
Women, particularly, the expecting mothers have to travel long distances to get medical treatment.
Recently, a pregnant woman from Vadamaraadchi East being taken to Jaffna Teaching Hospital for delivery had given birth to her child on the way.

Q: Gallery activity from specific directory I am working on an Android gallery activity where all the images come from a directory specific to that application. I would like all the images in the directory to be loaded in a manner similar to this.
public Integer[] mThumbIds = {
    R.drawable.ic_launcher_background,R.drawable.ic_launcher_foreground
};

The images are getting saved to an internal directory and I would like to display them as a gallery. How do I get them into the data structure above if they are located here?
File directory = new File("/data/data/com.boredgiant.chora/files"); //path is the string specifying your directory path.
File[] files = directory.listFiles();

A: The integers you use are resource identifiers.
You get  a File array for your path.
A File instance or a String for a path can not be converted to an interger. And even if you could the integer would be interpreted as resource identifier and your files are not resources.
But no need for an integer.
You can display files very easy using a file path or a File class instance.
Adapt your adapter. Use File array instead of Integer array.
Little work ;-)

At Zouk we know that you can't rely on the weather. After 7 years in Manchester, we've learned that the weather can change in a flash so if you love the great outdoors and fancy a spot of al fresco dining you need a spot that caters for you, come rain or shine. The Zouk all weather terrace was designed with exactly these challenges in mind. After watching Wimbledon on a rainy afternoon our co-owner and Creative Director, Mudassar Amjad, practically jumped out of his seat.
'That's it!' he said 'We have to have one of those electric roofs! Then let the rain come if it wants to. We'll be ready at the click of a button.' Tired of Manchester's notorious horizontal rain, Mudassar spent a lot of time pouring (pardon the pun) over plans to ensure the terrace really would be a cosy all weather space for our customers and that the dreaded rain could be kept at bay.

Here In Hope: A Natural History
J.M. Bridgeman - Bio and Media
pb / 2002-11 / Non-Fiction /
978-088982-212-2 / 200pp / $22.95
Here In Hope is a history of place, a spiritual and ecological memoir, and a biography of the community of Hope, British Columbia. J.M. Bridgeman tells the stories of this land and its people with both a mystic's sense of wonder and a scientist's curiosity about the precise nature of the forces that shape our world. Elegantly written in precise lyrical language, Bridgeman describes the evolution of the place called Hope, and gives voice to the forces that have shaped this unique area.The story of Hope begins with a narrative of geological forces: the collision of mountain ranges, the slow grinding of earth by glaciers and ice, the carving out of valleys, and the convergence of two great rivers.Human habitation then enters this landscape, firstly with Aboriginal settlers who lived lightly on the land and saw in the mountains and rivers the sacred interconnectedness of all life. Then come the explorers and fur traders who moved into the area.Next comes the discovery of gold in the Fraser River, which brought a rush of inhabitants with their European-shaped ideology of human dominance over nature. And as the world chugged into the industrial age with its railroads, new technologies, and more immigrants, the ecology of this pristine environment changed profoundly.


This week has shaped out to be what will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the biggest stan wars in history. Katy Perry's Roar shall compete head to head with Lady Gaga's Applause. But who will come out on top?
This is the biggest piece of the formula. Katy Perry's last major debut was 2012's Part of Me, which landed at No.1 with a full week of availability and 411K sales. Exactly one year prior, Lady Gaga's Born This Way launched at No.1 with 3 days of availability and 448K sales. Another major factor in their sales is that both debuted on Grammy weekend, so they each had a few hours of Grammy sales to contribute to their tallies. In 2013 however, neither will have the chance to perform at a major awards ceremony until August 25th, when the VMA's are aired, as both artists will be performing. So, this week will be all debut fueled.
Katy Perry has the advantage over Gaga this year, as Katy's track will get a full week of sales, while Gaga's will get 6 days (Roar made its iTunes debut on a typical monday, while Applause debuted on Tuesday at around 12 AM eastern standard time).
Currently (9 PM Eastern on Friday, August 16th), Roar is still at No.1 on US iTunes, while Gaga is at No.4. On Amazon MP3, the second biggest digital retailer, Katy is No.2 while Gaga is steady at No.5.
Yesterday, Billboard announced that both songs would actually have their sales figures cut, Gaga's cut drastically. They theorized that Katy should be around 450K, while Gaga will land at a shocking 200-225K. Today however, Katy got better news, as her song should be aiming for 525K, Gaga will still be aiming at 225K.
The biggest difference between Katy and Gaga's pervious singles and this year, is the fact that YouTube is now a part of Billboard tabulations. Again, Katy's track will get a full cycle, while Gaga's will get 6 days, as the official audio launched at around 8 PM Eastern on Monday. However, the lyric video for Applause was released at 3 PM EST on Wednesday, so this will also add Gaga's lead.
The audio for Applause currently sits at 12.1 million views, with the lyric video at 3.7 million, compared to Katy's lyric video, which is at 12.3 million views. This puts Gaga at around 3.5 million ahead of Katy (not enough to close the two to one deficit for her sales, however).
Katy's track debuted at No.34 on Pop Radio, after only two days of radio play. Overall, the radio tracking week will end today, but surprisingly, Gaga has a lead over Perry of about 100 plays on Pop radio. For their previous singles, Gaga's Born This Way launched at No.6 on Radio Songs with 5 days of spins (Friday through Tuesday), while Perry's Part of Me debuted at No.36 on Radio Songs with a full week. The issue that came out Wednesday had 3 days of radio for Perry, and 2 for Gaga. However, the big head to head will be next Wednesday, when sales and streaming are factored in along their airplay.
Roar debuted at No.28 on Billboard's Radio Songs on Wednesday, a lofty entry for any song, even loftier considering it only had 4 days to accumulate the total. Gaga's track just missed the Top 75 according to Billboard. On KWORB's building chart, Roar is now No.15 on the chart, with Applause at No.25. Roar also boasts nearly than 2 times the radio spins as Applause at this point, and Applause won't be serviced to mainstream radio until its original release date of August 19th. Meanwhile, Roar was serviced on time. Perry's advantage only widens here.
So, who will win overall? For me, I'm going to place my bets on Katy. She will get a day of points over Gaga, which is very crucial here. I'm going to say that Katy will sell about 530K while Gaga will sell around 490K, with Katy taking a streaming lead and Gaga taking a radio lead (she's been busy promoting radio today, as she was just on On Air With Ryan Seacrest). For next wednesday on the Hot 100, I'll say Katy will be No.2, while Gaga will be either No.3 or No.4. Both songs however will be unable to dislodge Blurred Lines, which will have a massive radio and probable streaming lead, with sales not going to be far enough behind to warrant a dislodging from the summit.
Who do you think will win? Comment below and let your voice be heard!

The successful management of fine-grained coastal environments relies on an understanding of, and an ability to predict, their likely future behavior. The latter depends not only on the hydrodynamic conditions to which these coastal systems are exposed, but also on characteristic surface properties that determine erosion shear strength and thus surface stability. Due to the inaccessibility of intertidal areas, precise ground-based measurements of mudflat stability are difficult to conduct. Remote sensing can provide full spatial coverage and non-intrusive measurement. As stability changes on mudflats are linked to subtle differences in mudflat surface characteristics, they can potentially be mapped by hyperspectral data. This paper reports on a study aimed at assessing the suitability of hyperspectral data for estimating mudflat characteristics related to stability. Hyperspectral images were collected along with near contemporary ground measurements. An unsupervised classification resulted in a map that reproduced observed thematic and topographic features, thus highlighting the close link between topography and surface sedimentary characteristics resulting in distinct spectral signatures. Multiple regression analysis was used to relate surface characteristics to hyperspectral data to construct regression equations. Erosion shear stress was estimated directly from the hyper-spectral data and also by a relationship with surface characteristics. The results of the thematic class map matched well with the known situation at the site during image acquisition. The quantitative information on surface characteristics suggest that the use of hyperspectral data for the assessment of erosion shear stress, surface stability, and thus the likely future behaviour in this dynamic environment can contribute to a significant improvement in the information needed for the successful management of shallow coastal systems.

Labour's opposition to new grammar colleges is 'rank hypocrisy' as a result of senior figures send their very own youngsters to selective schools, the education secretary has claimed.

That time has now come, and it's as much as us – and our education methods – to make the most of it.

Gilead investors see Celgene veteran Jackie Fouse as top pick for CEO spot: analyst
by Arlene Weintraub |
Gilead is expected to name a new CEO by the end of the year, when John Milligan steps down. (Gilead)
Biotech investors may still be getting over the shock of the departure of Gilead's top two executives, but that hasn't stopped analysts from speculating about who will be the troubled company's next CEO.
Topping the list of a possible replacement for departing CEO John Milligan, Ph.D., is Jacqualyn "Jackie" Fouse, Ph.D., who had a seven-year stint as the chief financial officer and then chief operating officer at Celgene. That's the suggestion from RBC Capital Markets analyst Brian Abrahams, who conducted an investor survey and revealed the results to investors in a note he sent out Monday.
Yes, Celgene had some troubles of its own during Fouse's tenure, and she would have to relocate from the East Coast, but "given her track record (both vision and execution), relationship with the Street, and ability to attract talent, we believe her presence at [Gilead] would be well received," Abrahams wrote.
The news of Milligan's departure, which was announced along with the retirement of chairman and former CEO John C. Martin, Ph.D., came during the company's second-quarter earnings report last week. The financial results revealed a continuing downward slide for the company, which has been suffering from the rapid drop in demand for its hepatitis C stars Sovaldi and Harvoni. During the quarter, product sales fell 21% year over year to $5.6 billion, and earnings per share plummeted 40% to $1.39.
RELATED: Gilead's top executives Milligan and Martin stepping down
So does Fouse have the chops to engineer the turnaround Gilead so desperately needs? The company is counting on some of its newer products to drive revenue growth going forward, including CAR-T cancer therapy Yescarta, so her oncology background would certainly come in handy. Fouse joined Celgene as CFO in 2010, moving on to take over the company's hematology and oncology unit, before being named president and COO in 2016.
Fouse left Celgene abruptly last February, after the company named Mark Alles as its new CEO. Fouse and Alles had apparently been competing to take over the C-suite from Bob Hugin, who retired to run for a U.S. Senate seat. Still, Fouse's departure was a surprise, and some industry watchers speculated at the time that she would soon show up as CEO of another biotech company. Fouse reportedly turned down the opportunity to take over as CEO of Teva last August and she's now executive chairman of Dermavant, a company that's developing a drug to treat excessive sweating and that recently bought the rights to a late-stage experimental drug to treat psoriasis and atopic dermatitis from GlaxoSmithKline.
RELATED: Celgene president, COO Jackie Fouse to make shock departure
Fouse was the winner of Abraham's investor survey by a wide margin, though some other interesting names were proposed as good choices to lead Gilead. Some respondents suggested the company should find its next CEO via a merger, perhaps with Vertex (Jeff Leiden) or Pfizer (Ian Read). Others proposed that Gilead steal away the head of another big biotech company, such as Amgen CEO Bob Bradway or Roche Pharma CEO Daniel O'Day. Chief scientific officers might also be well-suited to take on Gilead's challenges, some said, including Merck's Roger Perlmutter and GlaxoSmithKline's Hal Barron.
Gilead is expected to select a replacement for Milligan by the end of the year, when he is scheduled to step down. Martin plans to depart when the new CEO is named.
The prospect of such a radical change in the top ranks of Gilead has generated some agita on the Street. Leerink analyst Geoffrey Porges fears that "given the company's mixed hiring record, the appointee may not necessarily be an individual with immediate industry or investor credibility," he wrote in a note to investors last week. Jefferies analyst Michael Yee acknowledged in a note that the change "brings uncertainty" in the short term.
Still, wrote Yee, the prospect of a "new" future for Gilead also offers hope for "more pipeline, more bold steps, more aggressive BD, and a chance for PE expansion and stock appreciation." Gilead's decision to clean house may be nerve-racking, he wrote, but it could very well transform the company "from pharma-like, to more biotech-like."

I'd like to dedicate this D'var Torah בזכות עליית הנשמות הקדושות של ציפי ונועם רחל רימל ז״ל שחזרו לבוראם טרם הזמן, ולזכות רפואה שלמה של צבי משה בן שולמית ואיתי יעקב בן ציפורה, שנלחמים על חייהם. Tzippi z"l is remembered by all as a glowing woman who emanated happiness in all that she did. At the Shiva, Tzippi's sister pleaded with the visitors להמשיך את האור, to continue the light that Tzippi brought into the world, to smile, and emulate her. It is my hope that Tzippi's light and the light of Chanukah can shine into our world and light the darkness for those in her family and for all of Am Yisrael.
Chanukah poses a significant question. One who reads about the trials and challenges of the Hellenistic time period can understand that Am Yisrael was in a very low spiritual place, and if one widens his research, he'll find that even after the miraculous military victory over the Greeks, רבים ביד מעטים, there were still tremendous threats that came about not too long after. If this is the case, how can it be that out of all the stories accounted for in מסכת תענית, Chanukah remained as a holiday for Am Yisrael even after the Beit HaMikdash was destroyed? What was so special about this time if it was surrounded by difficulty and assimilation?
In order to answer this question, let's take a look at one of the hints to Chanukah in the Torah. In פרשת בהעלותך, we learn about the Avodah of the Menorah in the Mishkan, which is placed sequentially after the description of the Dedication of the Nesi'im to the Mishkan. The Mefarshim address the juxtaposition of these two sections.
Rashi quotes the Tanchuma saying that when Aharon saw the dedication of the Nesi'im, he was sorrowed that he and Shevet Levy did not take part in their dedication. Hashem reassured Aharon through the Mitzvah of Menorah by sending him a message that שלך גדולה משלהם. "Your portion is greater than the rest of the Nesi'im, because you light and prepare the Chanukah Menorahs day and night."
The Ramban asks, why did G-d comfort Aharon through the Avodah of the Menorah and not by seemingly more significant services like the Avodah on Yom Kippur, where אהרן was נכנס לפני ולפנים before HKB"H? The Ramban explains that the Tanchuma mentioned above is a hint referring to the rededication of the 2nd Temple, through Aharon's descendants, the Hasmonean Kohanim. Aharon is being told, "During this time, I, Hashem, will perform miracles for Am Yisrael through your descendants". Additionally, Hashem was comforting Aharon in the fact that unlike the Korbanot which are only practiced while the Beit HaMikdash is standing, the נרות of the Menorah will forever give light, even when the Beit HaMikdash is destroyed. Nechama Leibovitch eloquently describes the beautiful outlook of the Ramban. She notes that the Ramban, who is famous for recognizing that the actions of our forefathers are a symbol for their children, also sees the oil Menorah that Aharon lit as a symbol that lasted for all generations, through the Hasmonean Chanukah candles, which would illuminate the darkness of the Galuyot.
Back to our original question on the significance of the holiday which caused Chazal to establish it for all generations: Am Yisrael were so downtrodden. They were spiritually and physically oppressed by the Greeks. Antiochus knew about the special relationship between G-d and Yisrael that was expressed through the Menorah, and therefore commanded for the oils to be defiled. Yet, something changed. The Sages understood that this terrible oppression ignited a spark of dedication within the Jews. Especially in the women, like Yehudit who killed a Greek Hegemon, and the daughter of Matityahu who turned to the Gedolei Yisrael and declared "Enough is enough!" This inspired Matityahu and his sons to rebel.
What miracle are we publicizing when placing the candles outside? I'd like to suggest that the miracle wasn't just that they found the jug of oil, it was the fact that they still had the desire for the oil to be pure, which parallels the desire for a relationship with Hashem to be pure. It was the נס of the unwavering spirit that Hashem placed within us. And Hashem sent us a sign that He recognizes that eternal connection too, by providing us the pure oil and allowing it to burn for eight days, so that we could create more pure oil.
It is apparent that we are not celebrating the fact that the flames remained lit, but we are celebrating the fuel for the flames. G-d gave us this שמן זית זך and allowed it to fuel the flames those eight days. This is synonymous to the נשמה Hashem has given us, which is זך וטהור, and continues to be the source of fuel for our Avodat Hashem. That pure point inside of you which remains untainted. As the Chassidim like to call it, the Pintele Yid.
That Nes was translated into our Torah Sheb'al Peh, where we gain the strength to continue to be מחדש in Torah even long after our exile. Chazal created a new holiday that would last for all generations, as Torah Sheb'al Peh would. How do we ignite that spark? Through the Torah that is handed down through the generations, encompasses our purpose as Jews in this world, and serves words as an assurance that we will one day rejoice again in the Beit HaMikdash.
If this is the case, how can we preserve this eternal spirit? The answer can be found in the act of Talmud Torah. The Ktav Sofer, the son of the great Chatam Sofer, writes regarding the מצווה of אל מול פני המנורה יאירו, which states that the candles must be lit facing the central candle. He explains that this is analogous to those who learn Torah. We learn that the candles would burn towards the נר המערבי in the מקדש, which was where they would light the candles. "For the commandment is a lamp, the teaching is a light" (Mishlei 6:23). The נר המערבי is the teacher, who teaches others Torah, and the students are the other candles of the מנורה which face it. Rabi Chanina says : Much have I learned from my masters, and more from any colleagues than from my masters, and from my disciples the most. (Ta'anit, 7a) The Ktav Sofer writes, "First, the Rav learns with his students, and enlightens their eyes, until they become students who enlighten the eyes of their Rav…" In Masechet Avot, it is written "Rabbi Ishmael his son said: He who learns in order to teach, it is granted to him to study and to teach;. " Just as Aharon would light the other candles from the נר האמצעי and afterwards, he would light the נר האמצעי from the other candles, so too, when a teacher truly educates and enlightens his students, they come to teach him as well. This is the educational spiral of Torah. With it, we become eternal. When we learn Torah together, we are shining upon each other constantly, ensuring that our pure inner spark is never extinguished.
As we enter the challenging month of Tevet and remember the tragedies leading to our exile , I believe that Chanukah can teach us to enter the month with the hope that we can regenerate the inner strength that we had during the times of Chanukah which still burns within us, no matter how concealed it may seem.
Chodesh Tov and Chag Urim Sameach / Zot Chanukah Sameach!

The 'Crown' of Philadelphia: Artist Russell Craig and the inspiration behind his Black Lives Matter mural
Micaela Hood
Pocono Record
Growing up, Russell Craig would pass by the statue of former Philadelphia Mayor and Police Commissioner Frank Rizzo.
The statue, known to many as a symbol of racism due to Rizzo's controversial approach to Black and gay people during the 60s and 70s, was removed by the city in June.
To witness it taken down became a life changing moment for Craig, who now lives in New York and is an art student at Bard College.
"It was really amazing and it happened when I was in Brooklyn, but still seeing it from afar it was just crazy because I passed that statue a lot even before I was doing art installations in that area," he said.
As part of the Black Lives Matter movement, Craig was commissioned by Mural Arts Philadelphia to create something in its place that represented both diversity and hope.
His piece, "Crown" a 100-foot wide, colorful mural is located on the outside of the Municipal Services Building at 1401 John F. Kennedy Boulevard.
It was unveiled in August and will remain up for a year (if not longer), says Jane Golden, executive director and founder of Mural Arts Philadelphia.
"I think the piece is incredibly important because of where it's sited, just about 30-feet from where the Rizzo statue stood. It is a depiction of protests with people from different walks of life — different races, different ages, all fighting against racism and oppression," Golden said. "It depicts a universal cry for justice and I can't think of a better place for it to be located where there was this very problematic statue, and it's on a municipal building across the street from our City Hall. I think it says a lot about the values and our aspiration as a city."
"Crown" is based on the neoclassical painting, "Liberty Leading the People," by Eugène Delacroix.
It features a Black woman as the female symbol of Liberty. And as Craig describes, the people in the mural are placed in a crown, an ode to the shape of the coronavirus.
Before he began the artistic process for "Crown" Craig participated in a few Black Lives Matter protests in Brooklyn.
At one of them, near the Barclays Center, protestors clashed with law enforcement.
"The police were moving as a unit and shouting over the bullhorn, 'This is an unlawful assembly, you will be subject to arrest,' " Craig said. "Protestors were throwing stuff at them, people had phones number on their arms and police were grabbing people at random.
"It got crazy real quick and I realized I wasn't prepared,'' he recalled. "The other ones I went to were in the daytime and there was no conflict."
To highlight police brutality, Craig created a blue sky on the mural's background along with names of Black men and women that "died by police brutality by the hands of white supremacy," including Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and Trayvon Martin.
And then there are photos of everyday heroes.
"I had to take pictures of people in the streets and get their permission — where did they stand, did they feel like they wanted to be involved in what I proposed," he said. "It was a whole thing, and for it to come out, and have people from Philadelphia and put them in a crown formation as a symbol of hope and rebellion and triumph, I think it got results," Craig said.
Craig, 39, started working with Mural Arts Philadelphia while he was an inmate at the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution at Graterford in Montgomery County. There he served a seven-year sentence for a non-violent drug-related offense.
Behind bars, and with no family to speak of, Craig began drawing portraits of inmates in exchange for money to put in his commissary account.
"One of my first portraits was of Lil' Wayne because (the inmates) wanted to see what I could do. And I sold it," he said. "I had a business with money on the books, and it kept me alive."
As part of the Graterford's art therapy program, Craig met Golden, who ran the inmate-artist initiative at the prison, now called State Correctional Institute — Phoenix.
"I was really struck by his determination and his belief in himself as an artist. He not only demonstrated incredible talent when I saw some of his work, but it was just very clear that he felt the minute left prison he would come to work for Mural Arts and be an artist, and he was very convincing," Golden said. "I've heard a lot of people say that but there was something about the way he said it that made me believe him."
Around that time, Craig was introduced to a fellow artist, James "Ya Ya" Hough, who became his mentor and gave Craig his first set of pastels to use in his portraits.
Upon his release from prison in 2013, Craig was hired to work with Mural Arts' Restorative Justice Guild program, a paid reentry gig for inmates that includes job tasks such as mural making, carpentry and mosaics.
"He was a star, he really went above and beyond and demonstrated extraordinary gifts to work in public space and to do his own work," Golden said. "One of the privileges of the job is to be able to see how artists career unfolds," Golden said. "It's almost like watching a flower open up and that's what I felt with Russell as we watched his career take off and flourish and now he's at Bard College and art collectors are purchasing his work."
Although "Crown," was Craig's first solo project for Mural Arts, he collaborated on another Philadelphia city mural in 2018 called "Portraits of Justice," with fellow Restorative Justice Guild artist and friend, Jesse Grimes.
Craig, Grimes and Hough are also featured in "Making Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration," an exhibition that showcases arts made in U.S. prisons. It's gotten rave reviews in the art world thus far, including one in the New York Times" Craig says. The show runs through April 4 at MoMa PS1 in Queens.
A proud moment indeed was to see his collection of work in the September issue of the prestigious magazine, "Art Forum."
"It was a 16-page spread with other formerly incarcerated artists," Craig said. "To be in it, some artists only dream of that ... buyers and collectors look at that book."
Having dealt with a "dark and corrupt" prison system, Craig recognizes the fortune of his talents.
After all, to be considered a serious artist is not an easy feat.
"Art was the main thing, it helped me, but it's even more than that. With time, it's growing and becoming more and more of a life raft," Craig said. "I would have been destroyed. The system is made to destroy you one way or another, even if you don't do that much time. It can damage you and put you so much off track that you stay in the whirlwind.
"Once you start getting felonies, you can't get jobs. Once you're in the system, survival is unlikely, not many people bounce back. But just like this analogy, there were warriors (inside) that survived, Not everybody died, but you have wounds, so the art would be my sword, my weapon. It got me through and I was released from that captivity. And the arts still help me navigate through all my obstacles."

This bearded golden gnome is making the victory sign. The statue is standing with his right arm stretched in front of him. German artist Ottmar Hörl created the golden gnome sculpture in 2012. He came up with this gnome as a response to the regular riots instigated by hooligans after the football games. The Victory Gnome pictures a communicative impulse as well as a supporters' trophy for peaceful interaction.
All our gnomes are either for indoor or outdoor use and come with a Hörl Certificate of Authentification engraved at the bottom.
The Victory sign has two formats: one with the palm faced outwards and another one with the palm inwards. Generally considered a Victory" sign, it can also involve meanings of Defiance." The V-sign has various interpretations, depending on the cultural context. For instance, in the US, both ways refer to Victory" and peace. In other places, the same gesture with the back of the hand facing the other person is highly disrespectful. Prime Minister Winston Churchill referred approvingly to the V for Victory campaign in a speech, from which point he started using the V hand sign.
Ottmar Hörl is a German visual artist who was born in Nauheim in 1950. His unique 3d sculptures and art installations made him popular first among the artistic sphere. Today, his work is famous for its whimsicality and uniqueness, but also tends to spark political controversy, particularly with his gnomes. Ottmar Hörl is not only renowned as an artist but also as an art teacher and writer. He put several exhibits up in art galleries and museums and also had many articles about him and his art.
