Tinker Bell and The Secret Of The Wings, Film Review
Niina Pekantytär 2021-11-10
Tinker Bell and the secret of the wings appeared in 2012 and it was animated and produced by DisneyToons Studios. In order Tinker Bell and the secret of the wings in the fourth movie about Tinker Bell and Tinker Bell movie franchise
The character of Tinker Bell was created by playwriter J.M.Barrie in his famous play Peter Pan. Walt Disney studios made an animation about Peter Pan that appeared in 1953. In the movie, Peter Pan Tinker Bell doesn't speak but she is a very active and comical sidekick. I personally think that Tinker Bell in these Tinker Bell movies is nicer and approachable than Tinker Bell in Peter Pan.
Like all the Tinker Bell movies this one starts with the narrator introducing the fairy world to the viewer. In Pixie hollow, there are areas for all four seasons. Fairies in the spring, summer and autumn world can come and go as they please but winter fairies can not enter the warm world otherwise their wings would melt. Fairies from the warm land can not enter the cold world because their wings might get frozen and break.
Tinker Bell is helping her fairy friend animal fairy Fawn to get animals to enter the winter world. Tinker gets mesmerized by the beauty of the winter world. She can not help herself and soon she is surrounded by snow. Suddenly her wings start to shimmer and vibrate. She returns to the warm world but can not forget what had happened. She finds a book from the library that tells about shimmering wings. Some of the text has been eaten by worms. She hears that the writer of the book mysterious Storyteller lives in the winter world. Soon Tinker Bell sews herself a warm winter outfit (that is really cute!) and prepares to return to the winter world.
Tinker travels to the winter world as a stowaway. She finds the home of the storyteller but before she gets a chance to introduce herself there is someone before her. It is a fairy called Periwinkle. She also has experienced shimmering wings. Tinker Bell and Periwinkle meet each other and the Storyteller take them to see ice reflections where they can take a look at their past.
Once upon a time in London, there was a little baby girl laughing in a cradle. From the laughter, there were two fairies born. Another one flew to the warm world in the Pixie Hollow another one to the winter world. Tinker Bell and Periwinkle are sisters! (Kind of…fairies don't have DNA). Girls immediately like each other. Periwinkle is a frost fairy. She takes Tinker Bell to see the magical wonders of the winter world. They go sleigh riding ice skating and meet Periwinkles winter fairy friends. When the ruler of the winter world Lord Milori founds out that there is a fairy from the warm world visiting he becomes mad and Tinker Bell needs to return to the warm world.
Tinker Bell with her friends builds a machine that creates snow so that Periwinkle could come and visit the warm world. The machine works great at the beginning but when it gets broken Periwinkle gets ill and her wings start to melt. Lord Milori takes her back to the winter world. Both Lord Milori and Queen Clarion deny Tinker Bell and Periwinkle to cross the border again. They are former lovers. In the past, Lord Milori broke his other wing when he and Clarion used to meet each other in the border. Ever since they stopped seeing each other. In a rage, Lord Milori tries to destroy the snowmaking machine but the machine won't get broken. Instead, it starts to create more and more snow that spreads all over Pixie Hollow.
Fairies notice that they are all in great danger. The biggest concern is the Fairy dust Tree. If a tree gets frozen all the fairies are in danger to lose their magic. Tinker Bell remembers Periwinkles talent to create frost that captures warmth inside. She persuades Periwinkle and her friends to save Pixie Hollow. Soon all the winter fairies are there to help.
Animals and the fairies of the warm world go to look for cover. Winter fairies save the Fairy dust tree and all Pixie Hollow. Queen Clarion and Lord Milori get back together and all fairies are allowed to visit between the different worlds.
Fairy sisters
I really like the character designs in these Tinker Bell movies. By their appearance, Tinker Bell and Periwinkle aren't very much alike but their nature is quite similar. Both are very curious and clever.
Tinker Bell is good at sewing. I think her winter outfit is adorable. Very much similar to the way winter/Christmas elves are portrayed in English speaking countries (hey I'm from Finland…we have our own elves!).
Tinker Bell, however, is very cute wearing her winter outfit and it has a similar style to her iconic green dress. Periwinkles outfit has the same colours as there are in the winter world. Leggings and a tiny skirt made from feathers are nice details.
I didn't have many expectations for this movie because it's a sequel but there were many positive surprises in the movie. I hadn't read any spoilers about the movie so I was genuinely surprised when it turned out that Tinker Bell had a sister. Another surprise was the relationship between Queen Clarion and Lord Milori. In these films, Queen Clarion is most of the time portrayed as a very reserved character (royal?). It was nice to see glimpses into the characters past.
The level of computer animation in these Tinker Bell movies is superior. The way snow, frost and winter landscapes are animated is just breathtaking. I think this movie will be a new addition to my list of films to watch around Christmas time.
One of my favourite scenes is the scene where Tinker Bell enters the winter world for the first time and her wings start to shimmer. It is pure magic. Overall animation of the wings is amazing. Every time fairies are flying wings are moving fast. They also reflect the sun rays. Another fun scene is when Tinker Bell meets the nurse fairy and her wings are checked that they aren't frozen. There is a fairy guy who got an accident with a rainbow and he is all colourful and itches all over. Then there is a fairy who is stuck inside a snapdragon flower and can't see anything while walking.
I don't think the story in this film was as well written as the story in the first Tinker Bell movie. I do enjoy the details and the diversity of the fairy worlds in these Tinker Bell movies. In this film, animals got their winter coats when they entered the winter world. Like Tink Periwinkle also collects missing objects and builds things. They make ice skates for Tinker Bell from paper clips.
There were lots of new characters in this movie. Lord Milori, Storyteller, Periwinkle and all her friends. I really liked the way Tinker Bell and Periwinkle immediately bond as sisters and they start to look at similarities from each other. I recommend this movie to all fans of Tinker Bell, fairies and overall Disney fans who enjoy watching wintry Disney films. I think I'll watch this next time on my winter holiday.
More from Niina Pekantytär
Literal Origins of Friedrich and Jo and Laurie and Amy
When people study Louisa May Alcott´s life, were they then hobbyists or scholars people choose an area that they are interested and one of the areas that I study is the literature that Louisa May Alcott liked to read and how these certain storylines from these books can be found from Little Women and when I started that research, I quite soon came to the conclusion that Louisa May Alcott planned both Jo´s and Friedrich´s marriage and Amy´s and Laurie´s marriage years before she wrote Little Women. They can all be found in books that she read as a young person. Jo and Friedrich type of relationship can be found in Susan Warner´s Wide Wide World. This book appeared when Louisa was about 18 and if we believe her journals, around that time she fell in love with her friend Henry David Thoreau, and in Susan Warner's book, there is a spirited young woman who falls in love with her older male friend who also is a philosopher. When people complain that "Little Women is sentimental". I´d recommend reading Wide Wide World, it´s 100 times more sentimental than Little Women. Another Jo and Friedrich story would be the story of Eliza and Charles Follen and that was a book that Louisa read at the age of 12. The real-life story of an American female writer who falls in love with a German immigrant. The connection there is so obvious no one can argue with that.
Little Women and Brown Laurie
Theodore Laurie Lawrence is one of the most complicated characters in Little Women and his cultural and cinematic history is also complicated. More than often the Hollywood adaptations of the book changes our perspective of the characters. In the original book that was published in 1868, Laurie is both foreign and androgynous.
Love and hope in Little Women
Discussion between Little Women researchers Christina Scott and Niina Niskanen. Christina: Hi. I finally get to talk to you, not person to person, but still back and forth. Niina: Great to talk to you too! Would you like to start by introducing yourself and what is your relationship with Little Women?
Marriages in Little Women
Discussion between Little Women researchers Christina Scott and Niina Niskanen. Christina: I remember you said...I´m pretty sure it was you when you said that Meg and John were more grounded type, Laurie and Amy are the romantic types and then Jo and Friedrich are a mix of the two. They are grounded in the sense of what is realistic but they are deeply romantic with each other and that it carries on through the years.
Mermen in Myths and Folklore
Stories of the sea folk have been told around the world since the beginning of time. Mysterious waters have always captivated people´s imagination. Seas and oceans are still in many ways unknown and we don´t know what all lies beneath the surface. Water being the element of feelings and emotions is often connected to the mysteries of the feminine. This is one of the reasons why mermaids are some of the most fascinating creatures there are in art, literature and in pop culture. But where there are mermaids there are also mermen. Let´s dive into deep waters to search for them.
Jo March and Adaptive Attractiveness
Discussion between Little Women researchers Niina Niskanen and Christina Scott. Christina: If we truly 100% believe that Jo is the author´s avatar they are supposed to be the same. It´s funny that back then people said that Alcott is not attractive and I would look at her picture and I´m like "Oh what? she was very attractive and I think people don´t understand that when they think of things. It´s like in the earlier podcast when you said that the actress who plays Jo in the modern-day version in 2018 one they are like "she is not enough pretty to be with Friedrich" and I´m like for one I think that actress is attractive but also like you are missing the point.
Little Women and Germans In The Media
Discussion between Little Women researchers Niina Niskanen and Christina Scott. Niina: One of the things I wanted to ask from you, we have this shared goal that we want a German actor to play professor Bhaer at some point. I have read quite a few stories from German readers and people who are German descendants who love Friedrich´s character because he represents such a wonderful German character and I am not German. I did study German in school and I have been doing this research about Louisa May Alcott´s obsession with Germany and it's on every single page in Little Women. How do you feel about that? why Hollywood doesn´t hire great German actors?
Simple Taste
I often find it very difficult to talk about my artworks, which itself is quite an oxymoron, but I suppose it is based on the long-rooted belief I have that art is always a personal experience, and I don´t want to change the way the viewer sees it.
About being in Hungary and hungry for life
One of the most rewarding things about being an illustrator and trying to paint and draw every day (I don´t always manage to do it but I try) is that you see yourself becoming better at it.
Saami Folklore: Gods of Wind and Thunder
Saami people are the indigenous people of northern Europe. Saami mythology is very rich and layered. They believed that everything in nature had life and spirit inside them. Many of the Saami deities were not personified as humans but were seen as invisible forces of nature. There is a great amount of Saami languages so there are several name variations for different deities. Most common name for the thunder god was Horagállis but he was also known as Hovregállis, Äijjh, Dearpmes, Tiermes, Bájan and Áddjá. The symbol of Horagállis was the hammer which is a common symbol for a thunder god across Europe. In the northern hemisphere, other well-known thunder gods are Thor from Scandinavian mythology and Ukko/Ilmarinen from Finland and Uku from Estonia. In Saami culture, the god of thunder was respected as the bringer of the rain. He was seen as the protector of humans and reindeer. It was believed that Horagállis cleaned the air and washed diseases away.
Saami Folklore: Reindeer
Saami´s are the native inhabitants of Lapland in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Kuola Peninsula in Russia. Saami land is a wide area that covers several Saami tribes and languages such as; Northern Saami, Koltta Saami, Inari Saami etc. The majority of the Saami's were fishermen, hunters and above all reindeer herders. Therefore reindeer is one of the most sacred animals in the Saami culture.
Saami Folklore: Gnomes
Gnomes and different kinds of earth spirits are very common characters in Saami mythology. The spiritual world view of the saami´s was foremost shamanistic and pantheistic. People had strong beliefs in invisible powers in nature and magical creatures who ruled the elements. One always needed to have respect for these creatures for they were the protector spirits of the land and the northern nature of Lapland.
Saami Folklore: Deities and Descriptions
Saami´s are the native people of Scandinavia. The region of the Saami´s reaches from the northern coast of Norway to the Kuola Peninsula of Russia. Here are some enchanting mythical creatures from the Saami folklore.

Finnish Folklore: Gods and Goddesses
Throughout times there have been millions of gods and goddesses that people have worshipped around the world. In Finland, there were several pagan deities who were all manifestations of nature. Beliefs of the first inhabitants of what is now known as Finland were most likely shamanic- animistic beliefs for the totem animals and nature spirits. The pantheon of Finnish deities slowly evolved from these beliefs.
Little Women: Laurie´s Story
Booktuber Emily and I got together to talk about Laurie´s character arc and how it is missing from every single-Little Women adaptation. Emily: Hello I am Emily. I am also known as Emiloid. I run a booktube channel by the same name and I am also a big fan of Little Women the novel and also a great fan of discussing the adaptations as well.
Little Women: Mutual Recognition of one-another
In the "Under the umbrella" chapter in Little Women, when Jo and Friedrich go shopping Jo is very clumsy and Friedrich starts to see how Jo indeed goes by contradictions. In the store, she hides her cried face into a shawl. "Does this suit you Mr Bhaer?" she asked. Turning her back to him, feeling deeply grateful, for the chance of hiding her face. I actually always thought that this scene was very intimate. It gives me some serious 1995 Sense and Sensibility vibes. The next moment she rummages the counters like a "confirmed bargain hunter". Jo´s pattern is to hide vulnerabilities into action, but Jo has got to a point where she is ready to let down all her walls. "For now the sun seemed to have gone, in as suddenly as it came out, and the world grew muddy and miserable again and for the first time, she discovered that her feet were cold. Her head ached and that her heart was fuller of pain than the ladder. Mr Bhaer was going away. He only cared for her as a friend. It was all a mistake, and the sooner it was over the better. With this idea in her head, she hailed an approaching omnibus with such a haste gesture that the daisies flew out of the pot and were badly damaged". This is where we get into the culmination. The mutual recognition of one another.
Louisa May Alcott´s Little Men and Tender Parenthood
I think I was about 17 when I read Little Men for the first time. It did not make that huge impression on me as Good Wives did but I still enjoyed it as I have enjoyed all of Alcott´s books. It was about 10 years ago since I had read the book last time I didn´t really remember all the things that had happened in it. This was the first time I read the book in English and either in the past, the Finnish version I read was shortened a lot or maybe I have simply grown up more as a person and more easily pick nuisances from the story since I discovered so many new things from this read.
Finnish Folklore: Three Souls
The concept of three souls is something that can be found in the ancient belief system of all people who have spoken Uralic languages. The idea is that outside our physical body people had two other souls.
Film Review: Pinocchio
Pinocchio is the second Disney classic movie and it premiered in February 1940. The film wasn't financially successful. Part of the reason is believed to be in the Second World War and Americans not going to the movies that much at the time. However, what it comes to the development of western animation Pinocchio is a remarkable film.

Pressure mounts in penultimate NAPA Super DIRT Week qualifier Saturday
HOGANSBURG, NY – Sept. 11, 2019 – On Saturday, Sept. 14, the Super DIRTcar Series rolls into the North Country for a 100-lap, $10,000-to-win NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week Qualifier at Mohawk International Raceway. The tricky 4/10-mile oval has been contested by the Series 12 times since 1994.
The Jimmy Phelps and Matt Sheppard are tied for the most Series wins at Mohawk with three each. This year Sheppard has a healthy lead over his rivals on his way to a possible ninth Series Championship. Phelps is currently sitting in sixth place in points and has been held winless in Series action so far in 2019. Can Phelps break the drought at one of his strongest tracks?
Mat Williamson is second in Series points and is still looking for his first career Series win. Williamson will have his Buzz Chew No. 88 piece at Mohawk rather than the family-owned No. 6. The St. Catherines, Ontario driver is due for a trip to Victory Lane with the Series.
Earlier this year, Erick Rudolph won the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series race at Mohawk. Rudolph's team will be checking its setup notebook from that race to get dialed in for a run at the $10,000 payday.
Local ringer and part-time Series star Tim Fuller has won the last two Series events at Mohawk. He'll be the only driver to win three in a row if he were to park in Victory Lane there in 2019, plus the automatic spot in the Billy Whittaker Cars 200 at NAPA Super DIRT Week would icing on the cake.
Back in June rookie driver Demetrios Drellos took a Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship DIRTcar 358 Modified win at Mohawk. The No. 111 has been improving all year long and is looking forward to the Series going to a track where has a win.
The Gypsum Racing team will also be in town. Billy Decker and Larry Wight have been attached at the hip in the points standings running fifth and sixth. Wight has picked up two points-paying wins so far in 2019 while Decker has just one win back in February at the DIRTcar Nationals in Florida.
Peter Britten has not found the success he was hoping for on the tour this year so far. The No. 21A was on a tear through the field at Autodrome Granby when a mechanical failure stopped the car and ended his night.
Local teammates Carey Terrance and Louie Jackson Jr. are hoping to put up a home track defense. Both are always strong competitors when they join the Series on the road.
Danny Johnson, Ryan Godown, Mike Mahaney, Jack Lehner, Paul St-Sauveur, Marcus Dinkins, Rusty Smith and more will be on hand looking for that guaranteed start at NAPA Super DIRT Week plus $10,000.

Most of us are familiar with rusty iron: metal that has a dark red-brown scale that falls off an object, ultimately weakening it. Although we usually attribute rusting exclusively to iron, this process occurs with many materials. The more formal term for rusting is corrosion.
These support beams on a bridge are obviously rusted. If the rusting becomes too bad, it will compromise the integrity of the bridge, requiring replace- ment.
Corrosion is defined as the disintegration of a material due to chemical reactions with other substances in the environment. In many cases, oxygen in the air causes the disintegration. Corrosion is not uniformly destructive. Although the corrosion of iron is generally considered bad, the corrosion of aluminum and copper forms a protective barrier on the surface of the metal, protecting it from further reaction with the environment.
Having said that, it has been estimated that as much as 5% of expenditures in the United States apply to fixing problems caused by corrosion. The replacement of structures built with iron, steel, aluminum, and concrete must be performed regularly to keep these structures safe. As an example of what might happen, consider the story of the Silver Bridge on US Interstate 35, connecting West Virginia and Ohio. On December 15, 1967, the 39-year-old bridge collapsed, killing 46 people. The ultimate cause of the collapse was determined to be corrosion of a suspension chain on the Ohio side of the bridge.
Corrosion is an example of the type of chemical reaction discussed in this chapter. Although we usually think of corrosion as bad, the reaction it typifies can actually be put to good use.
One important type of chemical reaction is the oxidation-reduction reaction, also known as the redox reaction. Although we introduced redox reactions in Chapter 4 "Chemical Reactions and Equations", Section 4.6 "Oxidation-Reduction Reactions", it is worth reviewing some basic concepts.

The Man Behind India's First COVID-19 Vaccine is a Tamil Farmer's Son
HomeThe Man Behind India's First COVID-19 Vaccine is a Tamil Farmer's Son
India has made its first COVID-19 vaccine.
The developers of the drug, the Hyderabad-based firm Bharat Biotech in collaboration with India's National Institute of Virology and Indian Council of Medical Research, have received approval from the drug control authorities to conduct human clinical trials of the vaccine christened 'Covaxin'.
This is the same firm that created the world's cheapest Hepatitis vaccine and was the first in the world to find a vaccine for the Zika virus.
Dr Krishna Ella, the scientist who helped in creating the COVID-19 vaccine
From Farming To Biotechnology
Dr Krishna Ella was born to a middle-class family of farmers hailing from Thiruthani, Tamil Nadu. He first set out into the world of biotechnology through agriculture.
In an interview with Rediff, Krishna, who is currently the Chairman and Managing Director of Bharat Biotech International Ltd. (Bharat Biotech) said, "My initial plan was to keep farming after studying agriculture, but due to economic pressure, I joined Bayer, a chemicals and pharmaceuticals company as part of their agricultural division. This was the time that I got a scholarship from the Rotary's Freedom from Hunger Fellowship and went to study in the United States."
After completing his Master's at the University of Hawaii and his PhD at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Krishna returned to India in 1995.
In the same interview, Krishna points out, "I did not have any intention to return to India. It was my mother who asked me to return and pursue whatever I wanted. So I came back to India with a business plan to create a cheaper hepatitis vaccine as there was a heavy demand for it in India."
Krishna set up a small lab in Hyderabad with the medical equipment he had and that was the beginning of Bharat Biotech. The company submitted a project proposal for Rs 12.5 crore with the hepatitis vaccine rate at 1 dollar while the contemporaries were priced at 35 and 40 dollars.
"We didn't get the funding we expected so finally we turned to IDBI bank who funded us with Rs. 2 crores," he explains. In just four years time, the vaccine was launched in 1999, by then-President Dr A. P.J. Abdul Kalam.
The company supplied 35 million doses for the National Immunisation Programme at a price of Rs 10 per dose and has supplied 350-400 million doses in total to more than 65 countries.
Genome Valley – Giving the Medical World India's First COVID-19 Vaccine
Genome Valley
In 1996, Krishna Ella had put forth an idea to the then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Chandrababu Naidu to set up a biotech knowledge park devoid of polluting industries. Soon, he received approval and land from the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation to create the knowledge park — Genome Valley.
The first industry to be set up at the Park was Bharat Biotech's Hepatitis vaccine plant, followed by the ICICI Knowledge Park. Today it is home to more than 100 knowledge-based industries with multinationals like Novartis India Limited, Bayer Biosciences to the Indian Giant ITC.
"Genome Valley has become very important as far as biotech parks are concerned in India. It has catalysed the very idea of such parks which are now seen in Bengaluru and Pune," he explains.
"But the first, second and third positions in knowledge-based industries are given to the United States mainly because public problems are not given due importance in the academic research done in India. This is an area that we must focus on," he adds.
Bharat Biotech has now become the first company to manufacture a preservative-free vaccine (Revac-B mcf Hepatitis B Vaccine), launch India's first cell-cultured swine-flu vaccine, manufacture the world's cheapest Hepatitis vaccine and was the first in the world to find a vaccine for the Zika virus. The company has also in total supplied 3 billion doses of vaccines globally.
Dr Ella has been awarded more than 100 National and International awards which include Bio Spectrum Person of the Year in 2013, University of Wisconsin Distinguished Alumni Award (2011), Business Leader of the Year 2011, Best Technology and Innovation Award from the Prime Minister of India in 2008.
"When the company makes vaccines affordable to the common man we often get accused of creating something of low quality but we make vaccines believe that technology should reach the common man and no citizen should be deprived of healthcare solutions. This is the same reason why my company has been able to produce several vaccines at an affordable rate," he explains.
While the world searches for an answer for the COVID-19 conundrum, we take pride that Bharat Biotech has come out with a vaccine. We hope the efforts of all the scientists will be instrumental in putting an end to the pandemic.

Fantasy is a friendly mare ,gets along with everyone. This girl has been successful in the show ring before she joined my broodmare herd. she has left me some awesome foals.
Lilly has joined the broodmare herd in 2016, she had her first foal. the proven mare left us with a beautiful palomino pinto filly. Lilly had 3 stunning foals. She is an awesome mare.
This mare has a very quiet, friendly temperament and passes that on to her show quality offspring. Soon she deserves to be retired and be a pet only.

I have a table that is being exported to an array that pushes all the rows and data out to a CSV file. All of the data that gets pushed out in the array are varchar but the client wants the date of the submission pushed out which is in datetime format. I have put the field name into the array but it calls nothing into the rows. Any ideas?
"","Support Worker Jobs","","","Goromonzi","Kudzanayi","Kudzi","09/11/1987","3 Teano Place Marangaroo","Western Australia","6064","+61 406 362 720","+61 406 362 720","[email protected]","No","No","","Yes - I have a current work permit/visa","Working Holiday Visa ","20/04/2014","G66374386876109 (Canadian)","Western Australia","Auto","08/08/2016","Full","No","","Yes","No","","No","","No","","","","","","","No","Bachelor of Commerce","University of Calgary","2011","","","","1-2 years","","","","","","","","","","No",""
Can you import table wp_job_applications from your database and provide me .sql file.

That works exactly as it should!
Check the field name for date of submission.
Thanks for that, but doesn't work as it should, it now prints everything out in into 1 giant column with multiple rows instead of nicely formatted like it was before in multiple columns and rows with headers.
Can I some how use print_r just for the 'date_submitted' (correct table name) field value?

Press-release of the International Centre of the Roerichs. Chronicle of seizure // 29 April 2017, 20.45
On 28 April 2017 at about 21.30 several dozens of representatives of an unknown power structure with no identification signs, as well as the director of the State Museum of Oriental Art (SMOA), Alexander Sedov, with a lawyer, broke onto the territory of the non-governmental Museum named after Nicholas Roerich of the International Center of the Roerichs, Moscow, Russian Federation, without warning. All the Museum visitors and the management of the International Center of the Roerichs ( ICR) were given the ultimatum to leave the building. But no documents on the legality of such action were submitted. There were numerous witnesses of the arbitrariness and forceful seizure of the Museum. Entering the territory and all buildings of the Museum was blocked for 24 hours. After the police intervention, the entrance doors to the building were sealed by the representatives of the SMOA and the ICR. There were only a few representatives of the security service of the ICR and the power structure of the SMOA left on the territory of the non-governmental Museum named after Nicholas Roerich of the ICR. The museum was forced to cease its work. Its activities were completely blocked. The police guaranteed the inviolability of the non-governmental Museum and its property for the time of the alleged investigative proceedings. For the whole night the public was on guard at the gates of the Museum.
But in violation of all agreements on 29 April at about 6 pm the seizing of the non-governmental Museum continued. About 80 representatives of law enforcement agencies, representatives of the Investigative Committee, as well as of the State Museum of Oriental Art, illegally broke into the Museum. There took place an unlawful seizure of the Roerichs' heritage, as well as the property of the International Center of the Roerichs, without the presence of its management. Representatives of the media were rudely stopped at the gates of the Museum. Again, no documents were presented to confirm the legality of the actions. The Museum gate locks were cut with an angle grinder, the alarm system of the Museum was repeatedly activated. Thus, law enforcement agencies not only failed to protect the non-governmental organization, but also contributed to its looting.
This is an outrageous fact of the destruction of the non-governmental Museum of the international cultural organization that has a special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council, is an associate member of the UN Department of Public Information, a collective member of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and other international organizations working for the preservation of cultural heritage.
Due to the situation, the telephone and e-mail indicated on the form are not available.
Press-release in doc, pdf
About the Nicholas Roerich Museum in Moscow
In 1990, the great Russian artist and public figure Svetoslav Roerich donated to Russia a priceless cultural legacy of his parents – hundreds of paintings, a unique archive, valuable rarities – for the foundation of the Nicholas Roerich Museum. S. Roerich personally chose the Lopoukhin estate from several buildings offered by the authorities in Moscow, to house the Museum. He set two necessary conditions: the Museum should have a public status and it should reside in the Lopoukhin estate. The government accepted these conditions. The corresponding guarantees have been documented.
Svetoslav Roerich created a public organization – the International Centre of the Roerichs (ICR), with the Public Museum by name of Nicholas Roerich at its heart, whereupon he bequeathed his part of his parents' heritage to the ICR.
Museum staff have carried out complex restoration works of the Lopoukhin estate that have received high international praise – without the help of the government, at the expense of patrons and public donations. A unique, world-class Public Museum by name of Nicholas Roerich was founded.

Racing Season is getting close Racing season is upon us! We begin the season on Sunday April 9 at 2:00. Bob McCoun and Kenny Chapman are running the first race. We will run 3 races. Be sure to come out with your family for some friendly competition. Hot dogs and/or hamburgers will be served after the races. Our first Wednesday night race is April 12 at 6:50. Again, Bob and Kenny will be running the race. Speaking of running races, we have 26 racing events in the spring series. So far, we have just 8 days fully covered and 7 partially covered. Please sign up today for race committee duty. Next week, I will have to start assigning people to RC duty to get the days covered. Just go to the racing web page to sign up. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f084ca9ac22a4f58-2017 We should have all of the marks in the water by April 9. The new "Y" mark may not be done yet, but we will get it in the water as soon as possible. Need some work credits? Looking for a fun way to earn some work credits? Why not volunteer to work Race Committee for one of our regattas? We need at least 6 people to run a well-organized race. This is a great way to watch a regatta up close. Volunteers will get valuable work credits, plus free meals all weekend. Plus a very special gift as a token of our appreciation. So please go to the racing web site listed above and sign up for one of the RC positions. No experience is necessary. We'll show you what to do. We are all race ready now We held our third and final "Race Ready" meeting on Wednesday March 22. We had a great crowd. Lots of questions and lots of discussion. We focused on rules for downwind sailing, rules at the leeward mark and rules at the finish. We also had a "class exercise" where we went to the parking lot and everyone tried to guess where the 3 boat-length circle was for their boat. Rick Graef and Larry Conrad got theirs exactly right. Everyone else was short – some as much as a boat length short. It was an illuminating experience. Mayor's Cup is 8 weeks away The Mayor's Cup Regatta is just 8 weeks away. We need volunteers to make the regatta a smooth event. We need 5 people for RC duties including: Principal Race Officer Signaler – handles the flags on the RC boat Safety boat – drives the safety boat Mark Setter – sets marks from the safety boat This is a great way to enjoy the race and/or learn more about racing or running a race. Please contact Geoff Endris if you are interested.
