Octavian Moșescu a fost participant activ ca juralist, scriitor al publicației asociației Sindicatul Artelor Frumoase, susținător și colecționar de artă la mișcarea artistică a Avangardei artistice românești.

Biografie
S-a născut în comuna Tâmboești, azi județul Vrancea, râmnicean după tată, descinzând dintr-o familie cu onomastica de "Moșu". În Tâmboești, unde mama fusese numită învățătoare, își va petrece primii ani de studiu. A absolvit gimnaziul "Vasile Boerescu" din Râmnicu Sărat în 1909, după care intră, ca bursier, la Liceul "Anastasie Bașotă" din Pomârla.

Încă din timpul gimnaziului, sub îndrumarea profesorului Dimitrie Mazilu, își dezvăluie cele dintâi virtuți literare: la 10-11 ani scria versuri iar la 12 ani publica prima poezie (Lumina). În liceul de la Pomârla - unde îndrumători îi sunt Iorgu Iordan și Romulus Cioflec, fratele editorului - au loc săptămânal, sub conducerea sa, reuniuni literare, conferințe, declamații. Apare aici, dar tiparită la Dorohoi, revista Carpații (1914-1915), care, prin glasul tinerilor, susținea intrarea țării în luptă, alături de aliați, pentru marea unire a românilor.

În 1915 absolvă Liceul Matei Basarab din București. În 1920 obține licența în drept la Facultatea de drept din Iași. 1921-1925 studiază istoria artei la Viena, unde îl are profesor pe Joseph Strzygowsky ( Facultatea de istoria artelor).

Între 1921-1926 este președintele Societății Academice România Jună de la Viena. În 1925 întocmește cartea semicentenarului acestei societăți, având o prefață semnată de Regina Maria. În paginile acestei publicații mai semnează: Nicolae Iorga, Lucian Blaga, Adrian Maniu, Camil Petrescu, George Topârceanu, Panait Istrati, Jean Bart, Mihail Sadoveanu, Ion Minulescu, Ion Pilat, Ionel Teodoreanu, Ioan Slavici și alții.

Octavian Moșescu, mare iubitor și colecționar de artă, a fost de două ori primar al orașului Balcic (1931-1932, 1938-1940), oraș cu viață culturală extrem de bogată în prima jumătate a secolului XX. El a organizat aici Universitatea liberă, a fost directorul publicației culturale Coasta de Argint și, pentru a favoriza viața culturală a orașului, a inițiat o lege prin care artiștii puteau fi împroprietăriți gratuit cu locuri pe care să-și construiască locuințe.

În 1960, Octavian Moșescu a luat inițiativa organizării Muzeului de Artă din Râmnicu Sărat, a cărui înființare a sprijinit-o și printr-o donație. În acest demers a fost ajutat de deputatul Constantin Paraschivescu-Bălăceanu. "A donat în continuare lucrări valoroase, unele dintre ele clasate în patrimoniul cultural național, semnate de artiști ca Petre Iorgulescu-Yor,  Ion Theodorescu-Sion, Ștefan Popescu, Max Hermann Maxy, Nicolae Enea, Ion Pacea, Brăduț Covaliu, Ion Popescu Negreni. Pe lângă donațile succesive din 1960,1961,1971,1973, colecționarul a înlesnit donații și achiziții care au îmbogățit patrimoniul secției de artă plastică..."   ( Marius Neculae, Roxana Vișan - Muzeul Municipal Râmnicu Sărat - considerații asupra istoricului constituirii colecțiilor, Revista MEMORIAE INGENII, oct.2013, Muzeul național tehnic prof. ing.Dimitrie Leonida).

Din 14 mai 2020, prin Hotărâre de Guvern, Muzeul Municipal Râmnicu Sărat și-a schimbat denumirea, devenind Muzeul Municipal "Octavian Moșescu". Tot la Râmnicu Sărat se află și casa sa memorială ce datează din anul 1794, fiind cea mai veche construcție civilă din oraș rămasă încă în picioare.

Pe plan familial, Octavian Moșescu a fost căsătorit cu Penca, de origine bulgară și au avut o fiică, Balcica, viitor lector de istoria artei și soție a eseistului și istoricului literar Constantin Măciucă.

Note
 "O altă infuzie de energie mi-a venit de la Octavian Moșescu. Eram în anul II de facultate (1965-66) și, când aveam chef, ciopleam. ... Într-o zi, când lucram, am simțit că a intrat cineva și se uită la mine. M-am întors. Era un domn, nu prea înalt, plinuț, care mi-a spus: "Măi, băiete, tu ești talentat! Eu sunt colecționarul Moșescu. Am la Râmnicu Sărat un muzeu și vreau lucrările astea ale tale, dacă vrei să le vinzi. Asta vreau să mi-o pun la mormânt". ... În anii '70, când am terminat facultatea, Paul Vasilescu, asistent la vremea aceea al profesorului nostru, Boris Caragea, care era și secretarul secției de sculptură pe țară, m-a ales în prima echipă a Taberei de la Măgura. Acolo, în timp ce lucram la "Soldat", prima mea lucrare de acolo (mai am încă două), s-a repetat cumva povestea. Am simțit că mă privește cineva și era din nou domnul Moșescu, care, zâmbind, mi-a spus: "Ei, ți-am spus eu c-o să ajungi sculptor?". A contat imens pentru mine, mai ales când am aflat cine a fost Octavian Moșescu și cât a contribuit el la istoria artei românești de la Balcic încoace."
 "Căci Balcicul nu a fost doar "Nisa noastră" din perimetrul Cadrilaterului, locul de vacanță al protipendadei românești interbelice, unde regina Maria avea să inițieze, din 1924, un "complex urbanistic" devenit cu vremea un oraș turistic cu instituții și activități culturale. ... Balcic a fost Barbizonul românilor și nici un alt loc (precum Baia-Mare pentru începutul secolului 20 sau, mai aproape de noi, Poiana Mărului și Tescani) nu a avut importanța lui istorică. "
 Colectia ziarului "Coasta de Argint"  în format electronic realizat după microfilmul din Colecțiile speciale ale Bibliotecii Județene Constanța (originalul la Biblioteca Academiei Române)."

Alzheimer Diagnosis Possible With Scan
On behalf of The Law Office of William C. Wombacher | Apr 22, 2012 | Uncategorized
A much-anticipated test developed by Eli Lilly & Co. that detects the presence of proteins in the brain that are related to Alzheimer's disease was approved Friday by the Food and Drug Administration. The test uses a chemical called florbetapir, known by the brand name Amyvid, which is a radioactive agent that tags clumps of a sticky substance called an amyloid. The chemical, which costs $1,600 per dose, then is detected using a brain imaging technique called positron emission tomography, known as PET scans.
For patients who already have some symptoms of cognitive decline, a positive scan suggests that moderate to frequent amyloid plaques are present in the brain, which is consistent with Alzheimer's disease. If the scan is negative, indicating no clumps or few clumps of amyloid, "that gives the clinician a clue that Alzheimer's is less likely to be the cause of those symptoms," said Daniel Skovronsky, who developed the agent and is the global brand-development leader for Amyvid at Lilly.

The Asus Zenfone Selfie comes with a custom Gallery app. It defaults to a view of your folders and the camera roll is highlighted over the top. The Gallery also supports events and people views, plus it can display images from various cloud services including ASUS, Omlet, Facebook, OneDrive, Google Drive, Google+ and Flickr.
You get the Asus MiniMovie app, which lets you select a bunch of images and turns them into a short video of sorts, with music, transitions and the lot, which you can customize, of course. A handy collage feature is also on board, and it's pretty comprehensive, with a host of aspect ratios, templates and backgrounds. Asus has upped the maximum resolution to 2,560 x 2,560 which is now usable for a bit more than social-media sharing.
The available features when viewing a single image are pretty standard - set image as wallpaper/contact image, share it, delete it, enter edit mode or just get more info. You also get quick shortcuts for rotation and additional information. The integrated editor offers various effects, frames, tools (crop, mirror, straighten, rotate, fisheye, doodle) plus light adjustments that let you bring out the shadows or the highlights.
The Zenfone Selfie's video player is part of the Gallery, there isn't a dedicated app. There are no premium features or particularly striking video decoder support. Its interface is very simple, too - just a playback scrubber and a play/pause button, alongside a sharing button at the top. The most advanced feature is picking up playback from where you left off the previous time.
The player has severely limited codec support and refuses to play most formats. WMV, DivX and MOV files don't start at all, some XviD and x264 files play fine - others don't, AC3 audio is a no-go.
The Asus music player does decently in terms of functionality, covering all the basics. The interface features the usual set of panes for artists, songs, and genres, music stored on various cloud services can be pulled as well, different color themes can be applied to the interface, too.
There's a large Now Playing window with prominent album art, and also has integrated bass boost and surround sound options, although both of those only work with headphones. An equalizer is also available with multiple presets and a single custom setting. That's in addition to the system-wide AudioWizard sound enhancement software.
A useful FM radio app is available on the Zenfone Selfie. The search function automatically stores all available stations. It has RDS and can retrieve the stations' names. You can set up to 5 favorite stations but they are displayed with their respective frequency, instead of the names.
The Asus Zenfone Selfie did a great job when connected to an active external amplifier. The scores it got were excellent top to bottom and it matched them with above average volume for one of the better performances across all phones, let alone mid-rangers.
Plugging in a pair of headphones causes very little harm - with the stereo crosstalk taking a very minor hit and the other readings remaining just as great. The loudness drops a bit too, but it's still a solid showing that would put much more expensive phones to shame.

Summertime is officially over. You can feel it in the air. Now that fall is here, us Las Vegans are in that sweet spot where the temperature is no longer in the triple digits, but still warm enough to enjoy our time outside. One of the best ways to spend your time outdoors is on a bike, hitting up some Downtown Las Vegas bars on an autumn pub crawl.
It's just right. Las Vegas is one of the best places to live as you have an endless number of activities and entertainment options. However, one downfall is the extreme weather associated to high deserts. In the summer, the temperatures can reach well into the triple digits (even going as high as 117!), and during the winter months, it can become quite cold.
Luckily, Las Vegas has a few months in the fall and spring that are perfect for outdoor activities. All you would need is a light jacket later on in the evening. It's the perfect time to join us for a pub crawl!
Besides the nice weather, one of the best parts of fall are the tastes and flavors that come out for the holiday season! While on your autumn pub crawl, you'll have the opportunity to try out the specialty handcrafted autumn cocktails the pubs and restaurants offer.
Most of the bars will offer October brew ales, but if you're looking for cocktails, ask your bartender about any fall specialty drinks available. One drink you should definitely try this fall is the Apple Pie Shot at Gold Spike.

Evolution's City
June 22, 2011 / Evolutionary Anthropology, General
The June 9 issue of the journal Nature (volume 474:146-149) has an interesting article about the work that evolutionary biologist David Sloan Wilson is doing in Binghamton NY to improve life in that blighted city (the home of Binghamton University, Wilson's employer). Among other things, Wilson is collaborating with town planners and local citizens to bring evolutionary concepts of altruism and "prosociality" to bear on the design of urban playgrounds, parks, and gardens in hopes that this will enhance social interaction, community cohesion, and civic pride.
This effort raises at least two questions: (1) whether evolutionary scientists should be involved in thus kind of work and (2) how they should go about doing it. Some colleagues, including one quoted in the Nature piece, believe that Wilson has abandoned biology for "a sort of evolutionary social sciences." One Nature commenter expresses skepticism about what evolutionary theory can add to our understanding of urban problems by alluding to the limitations of the theory as applied to social phenomena.
Another Nature commenter, however, appreciates both the immediacy of the problem and the potential of new kinds of interdisciplinary work to address it. In the words of Will Smith:
All across our country cities and towns are dying and even neighborhoods within cities are dying. Wilson is trying to use his considerable skills to figure out why and how to reverse these declines. So what if it is not pure biology. It is definitely using a lot of his knowledge of biological systems in application to what is probably a hybrid science. Today, in most of science and engineering cross-discipline efforts are where breakthroughs are occurring. Wilson's efforts should be applauded by his scientific peers, not disparaged because he is "too close" to the work. Yes, others may want to carefully weed through his results to make sure that any scientific conclusions are not skewed by proximity to the subject matter, but progress in this highly complex area of human behavior will not be made by standing around in the ivory tower and looking out the window. Wilson needs all the encouragement that he can get because the problems facing our society are pulling down buildings faster than we can build them. The ivory towers may be next.
This call for greater engagement of academics with their communities, which Wilson exemplifies, is commendable. But accepting that evolutionary theory is relevant to solving urbanism's problems still leaves the second question of how to use it in this context. Other evolutionists like Steven Pinker and Nikos Salingaros have shown a bit of the way. They both urge that we break with modernist approaches to urban design and architecture and play off of our "default" psychological predispositions as evolved primates. In their view evolved human nature has much to do with the kinds of spaces we are inclined to embrace and, by extension, the quality of the relationships we create with other users of those spaces. Trees, natural light, water, ornamentation, tradition, and building at a human scale all emerge as important qualities in such an approach to urban design.
Wilson appreciates this, but human evolved psychology can't be the only consideration. Culture and history are also important "contingent" factors. On this count, the work of Setha Low and her Public Space Research Group is relevant. They've done the empirical work on city parks and distilled a number of lessons for planners of urban public spaces. While these spaces must be physically and economically accessible and safe, their amenities (e.g., furniture, facilities, cultural diversions) have to be designed with cultural variation in mind given that different classes and ethnic groups can use the same unit of space differently. Spatial adequacy and flexibility are crucial if diverse urban populations are to be drawn to public space for everyday activities, festivals, and other special events. In some instances, green space may be less desirable than hard space (e.g., open plazas) as a venue for social gatherings. In other words, the green city is not necessarily the most livable city, nor the best route for building the intercultural city. Careful thought must also be given to the kinds of commemorative monuments that define public space given that the histories of user populations also differ.
These challenges notwithstanding, there's every reason to think that an interdisciplinary or, in the words of another evolutionist named Wilson, "consilient" planning approach integrating evolved psychology and cultural history can provide a useful guide for renewing America's struggling cities.


I just geniuinely wanted to know if you were a Cowboys fan, what your approach at QB would be. Yes, it is because I feel like he is exactly what Mariota is, but it's not to try to sway anyone's opinion.
From an unbiased perspective, a fan playing GM for the Cowboys, not considering the Titans and Mariota at all, what's your move?
And it's not box score scouting at all. As I said earlier in this exact thread my girlfriend and her entire family are Cowboys fans and we've lived together for 2+ years. In our house, we go from the Titans game to the Cowboys every Sunday.
Well, I think I'd feel the same. Kinda why I posted all those stats...etc.
I'd want to see him with a new coach personally. I don't t like Garrett.
I just think it's hard to find a QB that can play at this level. You get a couple flash in the pans, but mostly you get Daltons, Flaccos, Alex Smiths, and Cam Newton if you lucky.
Then in the rare events, you get the Rodgers of the world.
I'd get some WRs to support him. A TE too. They have a good running game. Try not to put the entire game on his shoulders but expect him to be able to make throws if needed.
Oh and all whites.. well MNF is always fun. But they made a big trade and their the big market team and we've been losing so most of the talk will be about them.
Hearing all this talk of Harbaugh possibly being fired just adds to the frustration of our season.
Those 2 teams have gone 0-6 since the start of October to opponents not from TN. The Ravens have gotten 1 sack total since they got to us 11 times.
We're definitely not 2014/15 bad... but it feels worse knowing that we have potential... and we're just squandering it away. With our schedule, 10+ wins wasn't unrealistic. This season is turning out to be one of the more disappointing seasons in recent history. Expectations... amirite?
I think this is a good example of it being important when you play a team. Doesn't excuse our play. Just a variable.
I think we played the Texans and Jags at the right time. And the Bills and Ravens at the wrong time. I think if we were to play this version of the Bills defense/team. It would be different.
Pretty much expecting that to happen.
Didn't know we have the 3rd ranked scoring defense in the league...and given up 2nd least amount of points behind the Cowboys.
#1 redzone defense in football too.
Isn't that a bit skewed though considering some teams have played 8 or 9 games and we've only played 7?
We've given up the 2nd least points, but are ranked 3rd in scoring D (ppg). Dallas is #1 in the league (123 in 7 games, 17.6 ppg)... The Ravens are 2nd in ppg (17.7 ppg, 180 points in 9 games... under 18 ppg)... and we're 3rd (just over 18 ppg, 127 total in 7 games).
If we beat the Cowboys by more than 4 and keep them to 14 or under... we jump to the top spot in the league (overall and per game).
Titans are in a must win situation hate to say it they just are.
It's absolutely a must win tonight with the way the rest of the AFC is going, it'd be very unlikely for us to get a wild card berth. If we're going to have any shot at making the playoffs we have to pull out a win tonight.


The Base Plate M for the Lunedot candle holder is the metal base plate on which you put the Lunedot Candle Tubes. You can order the separate base plates when you want to have a larger base plate for more candles or to create other colour combinations. The Lunedot Base Plate M grey has a diameter of 30 cm. Let your creativity flow!
The Lunedot Candle Tubes are placed on a metal Base Plate. This plate you can buy separately when you want to have a larger base plate for more candles or for other colour combinations. The Lunedot Base Plate M has a diameter of 30 cm and is available in grey and 7 other colours.
With the magnet at the bottom of the Lunedot tube, you click the tube on the steel base plate. That base plate is available in different sizes and colours so that you can combine, determine the place of the candle on the base and put several candles on one basis: one in the middle, or a group on a large plate. The magnet also ensures that your the tube stands straight on the base plate. "That makes the candle burns super efficiently" explains maker Lieke van Dijk. The Lunedot candles that fit into the tubes last 10 hours, thanks to the quality of paraffin wax and wick – a similar supermarket candle lasts up to 4 hours.
The Lunedot candlestick is completely made in Holland. Lieke has walked around for hours in different metal factories, impressed by the pure craft that you find there. Her fascination for metal using a clear technology had to be combined with her love for candlelight and simplicity: "With the help of these metal artisans I managed to a nice product to a beautiful design element" The handmade candles are custom made with moulds in a beautiful factory where it looks like you are 60 years back in time.
