A Ermida de Santo Amaro é uma Ermida portuguesa localizada no lugar de Santo Amaro freguesia das Conceição, no concelho da Horta, na ilha do Faial, no arquipélago dos Açores.

Esta ermida que apresenta uma fachada bastante invulgar é dotada por duas torres sineiras. A sua data de construção ocorreu no século XVI e deveu-se a uma promessa de Braz Pereira Sarmento, embora o ano exacto da construção deste templo seja desconhecido, os historiadores indicam 1537 como sendo o mais exacto, embora a escritura de instituição deste templo só tenha ocorrido em 1575.

Das datas que ostenta na fachada, a de 1606 refere-se ao ano da morte do seu fundador, sendo que a de 1924, se refere ao ano que se procedeu a um restauro.

À data presente (2013) e após o restauro a que foi sujeita depois do terramoto de 9 de Julho de 1998 as datas atrás mencionadas ainda aguardam a sua afixação na fachada.

CATTLEMEN TAKE THEIR BEEF TO COURT
JOHN W. GONZALEZ Houston ChronicleSUN-SENTINEL
In a case that mixes Texas grit and Hollywood glitz in the hometown of the 72-ounce steak, jury selection begins today in the civil damages lawsuit brought by Texas Panhandle cattlemen who say they were harmed by a 1996 Oprah Winfrey Show on mad cow disease.
The trial figured to be sensational even before Winfrey decided to tape her talk show in Amarillo beginning on Thursday. Aside from the commotion created by the celebrity's presence, experts said the case poses important free-speech questions and is the first test of a Texas law allowing compensation for false, disparaging remarks about perishable foods.
As the trial approached, pro-beef and anti-beef factions continued their long-running, out-of-court debate about the safety of the U.S. meat supply. There also was an emotional dialogue among Amarillo residents about how this city should treat its celebrated visitor.
Some residents called for an official cold shoulder for Winfrey _ "no red-carpet rollouts," said a Chamber of Commerce internal memo that was later retracted. Others hope the city shows typical Texas hospitality, however, and capitalizes on its rare appearance in a national media spotlight.
The rivalries are summed up in competing bumper stickers: "Amarillo Loves Oprah," and "The Only Mad Cow in America is Oprah." It's a difference of opinion that has echoed across the nation in recent weeks on talk shows, editorial pages and Internet chat rooms.
Winfrey, who is barred from commenting on the case, has said she will attend the proceedings in U.S. District Judge Mary Lou Robinson's courtroom.
The Chicago-based entertainer, actress, author and fitness buff is one of the nation's wealthiest citizens. The 1997 "Forbes 400" list of the richest Americans ranked her 343rd, worth an estimated $550 million. She was the only African American on the prestigious registry and is predicted to become the nation's first black billionaire.
Some critics of the cattlemen's lawsuit have said Winfrey's deep pockets spurred the litigation. Before they were placed under a gag order, however, the plaintiff beef producers said it was simply a matter of setting the record straight and recouping losses suffered after Winfrey's April 16, 1996, television show.
During the telecast, Winfrey said she would no longer eat burgers after a guest described how some diseased cattle were slaughtered and fed to others, a discontinued practice that the guest claimed would spread mad cow disease. The guest also said mad cow disease could be so deadly and widespread that it would make AIDS look like the common cold.
The guest, Howard Lyman of the U.S. Humane Society, is a defendant along with Winfrey, her Harpo Productions Inc. and the show's distributor, King World Productions Inc.
Bringing the lawsuit are seven cattle companies, led by Amarillo rancher Paul Engler, who claims he lost almost $7 million in the days immediately following the show's airing. All are barred from commenting.

My painting is finished, and this experiment in blogpainting is completed. I am now presenting all the painting sessions in one continuous animation, so you can see days of painting compressed into one minute.
It surprises me to see my own work develop over time, I get a chance to see things I am normally not aware of. Painters get to bury their own mistakes under a thin layer of paint, and sometimes what may seem to be a mistake may lead the way to new ideas. Now I get to see the development of those ideas over time.
Here is a higher resolution image of the final work. Unfortunately, no photograph can capture the richness of the blacks, the subtle transparency of some layers, the changes in matte and glossy surfaces, and the overall detail of the image. These are key aspects of my work.
One of my favorite quotations about drawing (which equally applies to painting) says, "a drawing is a continuous record of thousands of decisions by the artist." This is what art historians call "autobiographical painting." It has nothing to do with the biography of the artist, it means the painting is its own biography, it tells the story of its own creation. I found that statement on a postcard from an exhibition, I kept it on my wall for many years. When I returned to art school, I was pleased to discover this artist, whose statement and artworks I admired so much, was teaching at my art school. I decided to take her drawing classes, and one day during a critique, I quoted her statement back to her. I was astonished at her response, "I never said that!"

South Bend Runners escape bomb at Boston Marathon
Posted: Apr 16, 2013 12:43 AM EST | Updated: Nov 5, 2014 10:59 PM EST
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Three people were killed and over 100 injured at the Boston Marathon on Monday. Lisa Smith of South Bend finished just one minute before the first bomb went off.
"I was a little concerned because I hadn't heard from the one girl," said D.J. Hanback.
Marathon coach D.J. Hanback says he was worried when bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon.
"I got an automatic text when they both finished so I knew that they had finished," said Hanback.
One of his runners, Lisa Smith, almost was among the casualties. She finished the race just one minute before the first bomb went off
"She heard the bomb too. They both heard the bomb and felt the shock," said Hanback.
Hanback says his runners were so shaken up by the explosion they are both hopping on planes back to South Bend.
"They are coming home tonight," said Hanback.
Hanback says as a marathon runner himself he can't imagine having such a shock during a race.
"The furthest thing from your mind is that you are going to have to worry about something happening at the finish line. You wait for that finish line at the Boston Marathon," said Hanback.
He's happy his two runners made it across the finish line unharmed.
"One or two minutes slower, they would have been in that wreckage," said Hanback.

In our inaugural episode, we interview His Excellency, Archbishop Alexander K. Sample, Archbishop of Portland, Oregon.
We give a brief introduction to the show and ourselves before diving into the interview.
Archbishop Alexander Sample was appointed Bishop of Marquette on December 13, 2005, by Pope Benedict XVI, and then the Archbishop of Portland at the beginning of 2013. The Archbishop has degrees in engineering and canon law. He serves on the USCCB's Committee on Pro-Life Activities, the Sub-Committee on the Catechism, and is on the Board of Trustees for the Catholic Near East Welfare Association and Oregon Catholic Press. His love for the sacred liturgy and sacred music were nurtured by the great Msgr. Richard Schuler of Saint Agnes Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Archbishop has become known for his eloquence and pastoral ability in teaching about sacred music and the liturgy.
Since we recorded this episode, the Archbishop has released a pastoral letter on sacred music for the Archdiocese of Portland. You can read it in either English or Spanish by clicking here.
The letter he issued in the Diocese of Marquette, Michigan, as referenced in this show, is available here.

Coming to LACMA: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty
The first comprehensive U.S. exhibition to begin on June 29
The first comprehensive U.S. exhibition of traditional Korean art from the Joseon dynasty is coming to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on June 29.
The exhibition, titled "Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910," will feature 150 objects, among them national treasures on loan from the National Museum of Korea and shown for the first time in the United States.
"'Treasures from Korea' is an opportunity to share some of the highest artistic achievements in Korean history with the diverse audiences of Southern California," said LACMA CEO Michael Govan in a statement released by the museum. "This exhibition especially resonates here in Los Angeles, home to the largest Korean and Korean American community outside of Korea."
Painted screens, scrolls, furnishings, costumes, accessories and ritual wares that showcase the dynasty and its religious beliefs, society, royalty and transition to modern times will be on display.
In 2013, American artworks were sent to Korea for an exhibition called "Art Across America" by four U.S. institutions, including LACMA, in a collaborative exchange between the two countries. This exhibition will be the second exchange, LACMA said.
The Joseon dynasty was the longest in Korean history and ran for 518 years with 27 kings.
According to LACMA, in addition to an illustrated catalogue published by Yale University Press, the exhibition will have five themes: the king and his court, Joseon society, rituals and values, Joseon Buddhism and Joseon in modern times.
"Treasures from Korea," officially sponsored by The Korea Times, will be located on the second level of the Hammer Building and run through Sept. 28.

Boyett: German prisoner found love with farmer's wife
HENDERSON - German prisoners of war began trying to escape from Camp Breckinridge almost as soon as they arrived there.
Boyett: German prisoner found love with farmer's wife HENDERSON - German prisoners of war began trying to escape from Camp Breckinridge almost as soon as they arrived there. Check out this story on thegleaner.com: http://www.thegleaner.com/story/news/2018/05/26/boyett-german-prisoner-found-love-farmers-wife/637760002/
Special to The Gleaner Published 7:06 a.m. CT May 26, 2018
A story about the first media tour of POWs at Camp Breckinridge appeared in The Gleaner of June 19, 1943, and this photo of two of the inmates accompanied it. Reporters were not allowed to interact with the prisoners.(Photo: Gleaner file photo)Buy Photo
German prisoners of war began trying to escape from Camp Breckinridge almost as soon as they arrived there.
The Gleaner of May 27, 1943, carried "the first official announcement" of the camp interning POWs. About 3,000 of them were eventually housed there, mostly Germans and Austrians, although also some Italians.
A week later, on June 3, The Gleaner reported three escaped prisoners had been quickly recaptured. An unnamed couple who lived between Sturgis and Morganfield played a big part in the capture. A couple of military policemen had come to their house asking whether they had seen the three prisoners.
"Why, there are three men cutting across yonder field," exclaimed the housewife as the MPs drank some water she had poured. The MPs climbed into the farmer's pickup truck and under that guise were able to approach the men without rousing suspicion.
"The farmer stopped the truck behind the men, the military policemen stepped out, leveled their guns and the escaped prisoners were headed back to the stockade."
I don't have an exact count of how many escape attempts there were because I have not yet read the newspapers between mid-1943 and 1946. But I stumbled across a couple of others from early 1944 while researching something else, so I suspect escape attempts were not all that unusual.
The Gleaner played a role in the capture of Lt. Helmut von der Aue, a German pilot who, after he left Camp Breckinridge, became involved in a nationwide scandal. He had been shot down in Italy, according to The Gleaner editions of Jan. 19 and 20, 1944. The first story publicized a description of the man and how he was dressed.
Bus driver Kennard Smith had read that story at Ansel White's country store at Alzey, and was returning home when he saw von der Aue walking alongside the road. Recognizing him from the description he stopped and several times offered a ride, but was waved on.
So he went to the home of Felix Thomas and the two of them returned with a .22 rifle. "The man got in the bus this time without being told but once," Smith said. The sheriff's office and the state patrol responded to a phone call, and in their search of the prisoner discovered he had several detailed maps of his planned escape route.
Most of the following story about von der Aue comes from Jim Woodrick's July 22, 2014, blog about Mississippi history, which he titled "Scandal in the Delta!" After von der Aue's capture here, he was sent to Camp McCain in Mississippi, where he eventually was put to work picking cotton on Joseph H. Rogers' plantation near Beulah.
Rogers, 43, was often absent on business and his wife, Edith, 37, took a fancy to the handsome von der Aue during the four months he worked at the plantation. She often entertained the prisoners while her husband was out of town.
In early January 1946 von der Aue, who was then 26, stayed behind while she sent the other prisoners away, and between the two of them they consumed about a fifth of liquor – which may have contributed to their decision that plantation life didn't suit them. She provided some of her husband's clothes, and the two drove to Memphis in her car.
From there they headed east towards Washington, D.C., but when they attempted to check into a hotel in Nashville they were arrested by the FBI, which had been alerted to their escape. That's when the story about the prisoner of war and the planter's wife went national. It even made Newsweek's annual roundup of stories.
The Kansas City Star quoted von der Aue as saying, "Her husband was seldom at home. I fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. I still do." Instead, he was sent back to Camp McCain, where he spent 30 days in solitary. She was freed on $2,000 bond posted by her husband, and eventually got off with two years of probation.
While The Gleaner's readers were no doubt interested in escaped Nazis, local farmers were more focused on whether they could get relief from the tight labor market caused by World War II.
On May 28, 1943, the day after publishing the announcement that POWs were at Camp Breckinridge, The Gleaner carried a story headlined, "War prisoners may be used on farms here."
The first farms in Henderson County didn't get POW labor until June 21 and were those of Elliott Toy and Ewing Galloway, according to The Gleaner of June 23. Union County farms had been more successful in getting POW crews.
The problem was finding soldiers to guard the POWs. Robert Murphy had a letter in the July 18 edition offering a suggestion: "Tell the proper authorities that old men who can't get war work will gladly guard the war prisoners while they work on farms."
As a general rule, prisoners at Camp Breckinridge were not allowed to interact with visitors to the camp. On June 19 The Gleaner carried a story about the first press visit to the POW camp, written by Marguerite Shepard, which had been delayed while the censors looked it over.
"The camp was extremely neat, with grass growing and flowers planted by the men in their off time." POWs were housed in the same type of barracks GIs used, and ate the same food, although they were allowed to cook it themselves in the German style.
Arthur Fritz, The Gleaner's managing editor, wrote about another visit to the camp, which appeared July 9. "Most faces had a smile ready, a human, genuine smile, not a fear-inspired simper." A few, however, had not lost faith in Hitler, as evidenced by "the aloofness, the scowl, the surliness on an occasional countenance."
More than 50 motorists were fined after police cracked down on not using lights properly, according to The Gleaner of May 28, 1918.The offenses were such things as lack of lights and failure to dim lights.
The Gleaner carried news of two deaths in Vietnam within five days of each other, beginning in the edition of May 31, 1968, which reported that Sgt. Richard Coleman had been killed at age 34.
The edition of June 4 reported the death of Cpl. Donald R. Miller, 20. Another Henderson man, 1st Lt. William L. Busby, had been killed Jan. 31, so Miller's death marked the third for Henderson County that year.
Sandy Watkins won the Democratic primary for judge-executive, four years after he had lost by seven votes, The Gleaner reported May 26, 1993. He went on to win the general election in November and served until his death in 2010.
