'Titanic of Ancient World' gives up new riches'
Arden Dier, Newser Staff
Diver: 'This is the largest ancient shipwreck ever discovered'
"(NEWSER) – As wrecks go, the one that gave up the 2,000-year-old Antikythera mechanism has long been considered a remarkable one. Even more so now: Archaeologists finished a three-week underwater excavation at the site off the coast of Antikythera in southern Greece on Tuesday and discovered that the ship was much longer than believed. "It's the Titanic of the ancient world," Brendan Foley of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution explains in a press release. Researchers came to their conclusion after discovering the ship's remnants are strewn over 1,000 feet of seafloor, recovering some hull planks, and measuring a number of lead anchors at more than 3 feet long. The ship itself may have been as long as roughly 160 feet."

This video takes you onto the Antikythera shipwreck, deeper than 50 metres beneath the surface, a time capsule for more than 2000 years.
A virtual tour, showing an ancient roman anchor being recovered, bronze section of a bed, 210cm section of a bronze spear from a larger-than-life statue, and much more.
Just like being there, but without the years of training it requires to work at such depth.

AN EGYPTIAN 'STAR VISITOR' CONNECTION
UPDATE OCT 2014- BREAKING NEW FINDINGS -
An ancient petroglyph site positioned somewhere in the area known as the Arnhem lands is about to make its mark in the genre of the ancient astronaut hypothesis. It was recently released on Al Jazeera TV news and the video coverage is shown below.
It depicts an amazing lost knowledge that I am trying to revive. A lost knowledge of our ancient ancestors that left behind records that became hidden by monarchy systems showing maps of the place of our ancestors. The petroglyphs are not for public access and one needs a helicopter to reach them.
This is the amazing piece of the star map hypothesis right here of grand beginnings where I claim the ancients never lied about being visited by their ancestor linked star visitors. People who sailed down along cosmic wormholes that looked like a large serpent. They arrived in disc ships and showed people all over the Earth where they come from, teaching us we are tied to the same origins as them.

Nicely preserved mammoth carcass shown in Moscow
"MOSCOW (AP) — Nearly 40,000 years old and in surprisingly good shape, the carcass of a woolly mammoth has gone on display in Moscow.
The scientists who found the teenage mammoth in 2010 in Russia's far north region of Yakutia have named it Yuka. The carcass had gone on display in Japan and Taiwan before it was exhibited in Moscow Tuesday.
Albert Protopopov, a researcher from Yakutia, said Yuka's carcass bore traces indicating that humans hunted for mammoths during the Ice Age. The young mammoth, aged between six and nine years old when it died, also had injuries left by an encounter with a predator, he said.
Protopopov told The Associated Press that Yuka is an estimated 38,000 years old, while other researchers have put its age at about 39,000."

Incredible New Artifacts Found In 2,000-Year-Old Mexican Tunnel
"For the past year, archaeologists have been working in a 2,000-year-old tunnel at the ancient Mexican city of Teotihuacan. The dig has yielded thousands of new relics and the discovery of three chambers that could hold more important finds.
First, a little bit of history. Established around 100 B.C., the city of Teotihuacan dominated central Mexico until 750 A.D. At its height, around the first half of the first millennium AD, it was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a population estimated at 125,000 — making it the sixth largest city in the world at the time. It began as a religious center, and came to be the most vibrant city in the New World. It's known for its architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids and its complex, multi-family residential compounds.
Today, it is an important archaeological site on the outskirts of Mexico City where researchers are still learning about this remarkable ancient city and its people. "

There is a thread on Godlikeproductions right now.. Nov 28.. which is by a group like the CHANI researchers... deep black PTB... who search for Ancient technology by a technique "like" remote viewing. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message2702754/pg1%C2'> It is called Remote Viewing Ancient Civilizations. It gives some background to the early civilizations ( Atlantis etc ) 70,000 years ago which were Hi Tec and explain where the out of time objects come from. They claim that some of our modern developments are back engineered from these earlier civilizations inventions.
All this is supressed and hidden away by TPTB as it would be too disruptive of the status quo if it were known.
Who knows?? but well worth a look IMO. People on the thread are saying it is the best thing on GLP for years.. and I have to agree. Remember tho.. it is GLP....

I am interested in some of the stuff on Human evolution and races. He actually said that Homo erectus is human (ie not a species). And that Neanderthal was more intelligent than us! Just not hi tech. I know they had bigger brains. All this and the recent gene discoveries ( we have Neanderthal genes... Africans don't) and thus Neanderthal is not a species either. This is all a big taboo field...

THIRD GIANT MEGALITH, WEIGHING 1,650 TONS, CONFIRMED AT BAALBEK:
I made a research trip to Lebanon in July 2014 and reported here on the recent discovery of a third gigantic megalith in the quarries at Baalbek (in the Beqaa Valley), about a kilometre from the famous Roman temple of Jupiter. Now we have more information from the German Archaeological Institute that has been studying and measuring the newly discovered megalith which is described as 19.60 metres long, 6 metres wide and at least 5.5 metres high. Its weight is estimated at about 1,650 tons which makes it significantly more massive and significantly heavier than the two previously known blocks in situ in the quarry. The German Archaeological Institute's findings are set out on the following pages: (1)http://bit.ly/1uWvgvs; (2) http://bit.ly/1uRZsIi; (3)http://bit.ly/1FGdQLQ; (4) http://bit.ly/1FFWxso. The newly discovered block is shown in the attached collage of photographs that I presented here on 11 July. I am standing on it in the photo at top left and it's front edge is shown in the photo at mid-left. For the record I do NOT agree with the mainstream archaeological view that any of the three megalithic blocks in the quarry, or the enigmatic megalithic foundations of the Temple of the Jupiter, are the work of the Romans. I believe these huge megaliths long predate the construction of the Temple of Jupiter and are likely to be 12,000 or more years old -- contemporaneous with the megalithic site of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. I suggest we are looking at the handiwork of the survivors of a lost civilisation, that the Romans built their Temple of Jupiter on a pre-existing, 12,000-years-old megalithic foundation, and that they were unaware of the giant hewn megaliths in the ancient quarry as these were covered by sediment in Roman times (as, indeed, the newly discovered block still was until very recently). I set out my reasoning for this point of view in my post of 14 July and both my 11 July and my 14 July posts are pasted in again below for reference.
My post of 11 July 2014. Click link to see photos referred to in post: (https://www.facebook.com/Author.GrahamHancock/photos/pb.31260747353.-2207520000.1417276842./10152591539632354/?type=3&theater)
The attached collage of photos is intended to help those who are interested to understand the situation of the main megalithic blocks still in the quarry at Baalbek in Lebanon.
I've stood in on three of the five photos for scale (top left, bottom left and bottom right). These photos feature the so-called "Stone of the Pregnant Woman" which is estimated to weigh a little more than 1,000 tons. Immediately left of it in the photo at bottom left a second huge (mainly buried) megalith has recently been uncovered. I'm standing on top of this recently uncovered megalith in the photo at top left. The photo at left centre shows the front end of this newly uncovered megalith.
The photo at top right is of a third megalith in a different part of the quarry that is now used as a rubbish dump (hence the black tyres chucked on top of it). Although this megalith looks smaller than the "Stone of the Pregnant Woman" large parts of it are still buried and calculations suggest it weighs in excess of 1,200 tons.
Please note the megaliths featured in this collage are ALL still in the quarry. They are not part of any structure. In a separate post at the weekend or on Monday I will focus on the megaliths, some weighing in excess of 800 tons, that were moved a distance of about a mile from the quarry to create a giant platform on top of which the Romans later built a Temple of Jupiter. Mainstream archaeology says all this quarrying and moving of huge megaliths was done by the Romans. Unsurprisingly I believe mainstream archaeology to be wrong! I'll explain further and show photos of the huge blocks on top of which the Temple of Jupiter is built in my next post.
My post of 14 July 2014. Click link to see photos referred to in post (https://www.facebook.com/Author.GrahamHancock/photos/pb.31260747353.-2207520000.1417276842./10152597881907354/?type=3&theater)
I'm not persuaded by the archaeological case that the megalithic foundations of the Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek, Lebanon, were the work of the Romans. There's no doubt that the Romans could move very large blocks of stone, and there's no doubt that they were responsible for the classical majesty of the temple itself, but I'm presently working on the assumption that they built it on top of a megalithic platform that had already been in place for thousands of years. The western side of that original (and I believe remotely ancient) megalithic platform is shown in the collage of photographs with this post. On top of six megaliths, in the range of 400 tons each, are prominently positioned three gigantic megaliths weighing approximately 800 tons each. I am aware that megaliths even larger than this (e.g. the so-called Thunder Stone of St Petersburg) have been moved and positioned on flat ground in historical times) but the moving and positioning of three 800 ton megaliths to a height of 18 or 20 feet above the ground as is the case at Baalbek is a problem of a completely different order. I suggest this requires careful consideration rather than simply saying "the Romans did it" as archaeology is at present inclined to do.
I have many reasons for this view, to do with the possibility of a lost civilisation that I will be exploring in depth in "Magicians of the Gods", the sequel to "Fingerprints of the Gods" (to be published October 2015). However to consider just a single point here we need only turn to the quarry at Baalbek where a number of even larger megaliths (but clearly of the same type as the 800-ton blocks under the Temple of Jupiter), were left in situ by whoever conceived it possible to build with megaliths on this scale. If it was the Romans who quarried and moved everything than we have to ask ourselves why at least two huge blocks in the range of 1,000 to 1,200 tons each (see my previous posts here: http://on.fb.me/WdksjG and here:http://on.fb.me/1rmcoaw ) were left in the quarry at all.
The conventional answer is that the Romans, having quarried these exceptionally large blocks, found that they could not move them and simply abandoned them. But that explanation makes very little sense. If the argument that the Romans were responsible for the megalithic platform is correct then we know that they went on to build an extensive temple complex dedicated to Jupiter using smaller blocks of stone. Surely their first source for the multiple smaller blocks they needed would have been the huge megaliths that, according to the argument of mainstream archaeology, they had discovered they could not move from the quarry? The Romans were practical people who would not allow work that they had already so painstakingly done to go to waste. Rather than opening up fresh quarry faces, wouldn't they have used those massive, already almost completely quarried 1,000-ton-plus blocks and simply sliced them up into smaller more moveable megaliths for the construction of the rest of the temple?
It's really puzzling that they didn't do so and therefore the fact that these gigantic, almost finished blocks remain in the quarry and were never sliced up into smaller blocks and used in the general construction of the Temple of Jupiter, suggests to me very strongly that the Romans did not even know they were there. Most probably they had been buried under many metres of sediment for many thousands of years when the Romans appeared on the scene. They made use of the megaliths that were already in place on the already remotely ancient sacred site that would become the Temple of Jupiter -- a handy, massive and convenient platform upon which they could build their temple -- but they knew nothing of the fully cut and shaped but unused megaliths lying deeply buried in the quarry. This is a working hypothesis at the moment, nothing more. I am interested in all critiques and suggestions, whether critical or supportive, that members of facebook community have to offer.

A scientist says he accidentally discovered a pyramid in Crimea, Ukraine. The pyramid is said to have been built before the time of the dinosaurs!
The Crimean peninsula is a fascinating place in terms of ancient history and archaeology, and was invaded and inhabited by all sorts of tribes and nations, from Cimmerians, Greeks and Romans to the Genoese, Kumans and Osman Turks.
As the ICTV channel reported, the finding was revealed by accident, when during his test alternative methods of finding water Ukrainian scientist Vitalii Goh discovered underground unknown object, which proved to be a giant pyramid of 45 meters in height and a length of about 72 meters.

Will this be the most charming spot in OTR?
"I picture someone sitting at the window with coffee and a pastry, maybe the snow falling outside the window, the church bells ringing," said Blair Fornshell about her soon-to-open bakery. "Maybe I just have a lot of imagination."
It doesn't actually take a lot of imagination to see it. The location in which Brown Bear Bakery will soon open is one of the most charming spots in Over-the-Rhine. At 116 E. 13th Street, at the corner of Clay, it is across the street from Old St. Mary's church in a wonderfully intact corner storefront. Outside, there are still curved rails around the tall windows, and flower-shaped cast iron. Inside, the original wainscotting and the wide-plank hardwood floors are still intact.
Now the interior has been remodeled to become a bakery space where Fornshell will sell her homey, old-fashioned pastries. She specializes in cookies and bars, brownies and pies. She'll be doing some laminated, layered pastries such as croissants, too, and savory pastries in the morning. There will be a few tables for people to sit with coffee and a pastry. The base of the display counter is tiled with green tiles that Fornshell made with a ceramist friend. "We rolled them out, just like shortbread cookies, "she said. The green was inspired by the color of the handles on her grandmother's rolling pin.
Fornshell has been baking since 2012, selling through special order and at some craft markets. She's a life-long baker, having learned how to do it from her grandmother, and learned to love it from people's reactions to getting a home-baked pie or batch of brownies. But she's never had a full commercial kitchen before, and she can't wait. "Right now I can do a dozen chocolate chip cookies in 30 minutes. Here, I'll be able to do 120 in 12 minutes."


I am lucky to know some very talented people of all ages, many of them writers and poets. And, I'm lucky that they will share their work with me. Therefore, I've decided to start a poetry series as part of my blog. This is the first in the series. It's called called 12:10 AM by Emma Flood.

The Future of Entertainment with Daniel Martins and Daniel Trujillo
February 25, 2021 Mike Hill Season 1 Episode 18
Feb 25, 2021 Season 1 Episode 18
Mike Hill
In the wake of the pandemic cinemas closed their doors, film sets shut down and stadiums turned off their lights. As the reality of this uncomfortable, COVID-present world sinks in, we've been wondering: is the future of entertainment in jeopardy or are we are on the edge of a new beginning?
During December 2020, Mike joined a Zoom call with two entertainment industry dynamos to discuss where the sector is headed this year and beyond.
Daniel de Salt'anna Martins (who we're referring to as 'DM' in this episode) is a ludocentric game designer based in Rio de Janeiro, while Daniel Trujillo is a virtual reality expert from Las Vegas.
The pair chatted to Mike (who is himself a filmmaker) about how the pandemic has driven the integration of next generation technologies, and together they unpack where the future of entertainment is really going.
Just as other industries are finding innovative means to continue operations in and around coronavirus lockdowns, the entertainment industry is absolutely taking a new shape.
Virtual reality and volumetric videos sound a bit otherworldly to many of us now, but Daniel says that soon they'll simply roll off our tongues, In fact, he even thinks that augmented reality is becoming so advanced that we will be able to host 'live' concerts in our homes one day.
And DM predicts that gaming and other digital platforms will also continue to accelerate, eventually engaging all five of our human senses.
Sounds like computer simulation will soon be near impossible to distinguish from reality. To make sure you're ready for the future of entertainment, watch this episode now.

Shogi from the Land of the Rising Sun
Shogi is chess from Japan
Having dealt with Antichess, let's move back east. Shogi is the main chess variant in Japan. The game has existed there in many forms for centuries since Chaturanga crossed from mainland Asia. It became the most popular of these variants and the others went into decline.
It directly translates as General's Board Game. Shogun is the Japanese word for General and gi means game. It is widely believed that Shogi became popular because of the drop rule.
Around that time when enemy soldiers were captured in battle, they would agree to fight for their captors as a means of survival. The drop rule in Shogi allows a player to return his opponent's captured pieces to the board as his own. You can add your own Shogi stories to the website if you wish.
Shogi has been played in Japan for 1,000 years
Chaturanga spread from India in two main directions. These two branches each spawned new variants as they went that are closely related.
One branch spread west through Persia, the Gulf region, North Africa and finally into Europe. It produced similar games such as Shatranj and Western Chess. The other went north into China, then Korea and on into Japan. All of the South-East Asian variants are from this side of the family.
It's believed that chess in one form or another arrived in Japan as early as a thousand years ago. Pieces and literature dating from the 11th Century have been found. Modern Shogi evolved from these variants.
Western pieces or traditional Japanese pieces can be used
Shogi is played on a 9x9 gameboard. The pieces are flat as in Xiangqi but they are five-sided wedge-shaped pieces rather than disks. Both sides start with a King, 2 Gold Generals, 2 Silver Generals, 2 Knights, 2 Lances, a Bishop, a Rook and 9 pawns. The object is to checkmate the opposing King.
The board is not checkered like a Western chessboard. All squares are the same color. Even the two armies have no difference in color or marking. Pieces are identified as one side or the other by the way they are facing. Even so the two sides are called Black and White with Black moving first.
A captured piece can be used by the other side when later returned to the board facing in the other direction. Every piece except the King and Gold Generals can promote if they wish by reaching the final 3 ranks of the board.
The pieces are weaker than Western pieces and they operate on a bigger board. Engagement therefore takes longer. The first priority is to castle the King to safety. There are different castling formations depending on the opening chosen. Players can use the Yagura castle, the Mino castle or the Anaguma castle.
Most pawns get captured early on and get dropped in later on the other side behind enemy lines where they can be promoted to a gold general. This is done by flipping the piece over on the other side to reveal a different marking.
The endgame begins when one player breaks through his opponents lines. He will now try to checkmate the King. At this point the King may try to flee to the center of the board where he will be harder to mate. Very often both players will be breaking through at more or less the same time and then it's a race to checkmate.
Time to try Shogi out for yourself? You have many opponents waiting to test their skills against you. Be ready for a hard fight. Before long you will no doubt be a Shogi hustler.
Want to start against a computer and work out how the game works and maybe some strategies? Look no further than Japanese Chess. Here you will find a good training ground to prepare for human opponents. Before long you will be ready to go to the next level.
When you get the hang of this game and you're ready to tussle with your peers then 81Dojo is as good a place as any. You can grow as a Shogi player here by playing regularly.
Tell us Your Amazing Tale from Shogi History
Shogi is played in many parks and streets all over Tokyo. It has been part of Japanese life for 1,000 years and is now part of the national identity, the national psyche. There must be a wealth of great stories and tales from Shogi history dating back through the centuries. Do you have an amazing tale from Shogi's rich history?

The Florist's Daughter by Patricia Hampl: Her mother's final illness led Hampl to reflect on her upbringing in St. Paul, Minnesota as the daughter of an Irish Catholic library clerk and a Czech florist. I love how she writes about small-town life and helping out in her father's flower shop:
"These apparently ordinary people in our ordinary town, living faultlessly ordinary lives … why do I persist in thinking—knowing—they weren't ordinary at all? … Nostalgia is really a kind of loyalty"
"it was my father's domain, but it was also marvelously other, this place heavy with the drowsy scent of velvet-petaled roses and Provençal freesias in the middle of winter, the damp-earth spring fragrance of just-watered azaleas and cyclamen"
Led by the Nose: A Garden of Smells by Jenny Joseph: Joseph's name might not sound familiar, but she was the author of the famous poem "Warning: When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple" and died early last year. This is a pleasant set of short pieces about what you might see and sense in your garden month by month. "Gardeners do indeed look before and after, at the same time living, as no one else, in the now of the nose," she maintains. I'm particularly fascinated by the sense of smell and how a writer can describe odors, so I was delighted to find this in a charity shop in Edinburgh last year and have been reading it a few pages at a time as a bedside book. I especially like the wood engravings by Yvonne Skargon that head each chapter.
Green Thoughts: A Writer in the Garden by Eleanor Perényi: A somewhat dense collection of few-page essays, arranged in alphabetical order, on particular plants, tools and techniques. I tried reading it straight through last year and only made it as far as "Beans." My new strategy is to keep it on my bedside shelves and dip into whichever pieces catch my attention. I don't have particularly green fingers, so it's not a surprise that my eye recently alighted on the essay "Failure," which opens, "Sooner or later every gardener must face the fact that certain things are going to die on him. It is a temptation to be anthropomorphic about plants, to suspect that they do it to annoy."
With One Lousy Free Packet of Seed by Lynne Truss (DNF at page 131 out of 210): A faltering gardening magazine is about to be closed down, but Osborne only finds out when he's already down in Devon doing the research for his regular "Me and My Shed" column with a TV actress. Hijinks were promised as the rest of the put-out staff descend on Honiton, but by nearly the two-thirds point it all still felt like preamble, laying out the characters and their backstories, connections and motivations. My favorite minor character was Makepeace, a pugnacious book reviewer: "he used his great capacities as a professional know-all as a perfectly acceptable substitute for either insight or style."
The Seasons, a Faber & Faber / BBC Radio 4 poetry anthology: From Chaucer and other Old English poets to Seamus Heaney ("Death of a Naturalist") and Philip Larkin ("The Trees"), the spring section offers a good mixture of recent and traditional, familiar and new. A favorite passage was "May come up with fiddle-bows, / May come up with blossom, / May come up the same again, / The same again but different" (from "Nuts in May" by Louis MacNeice). Once we're back from America I'll pick up with the summer selections.
In the Springtime of the Year by Susan Hill: Early one spring, Ruth Bryce's husband, Ben, dies in a forestry accident. They had only been married a year and here she is, aged twenty-one and a widow. Ben's little brother, 14-year-old Jo, is a faithful visitor, but after the funeral many simply leave Ruth alone. I'm 100 pages in and still waiting for there to be a plot as such; so far it's a lovely, quiet meditation on grief and solitude amid the rhythms of country life. Ben's death is described as a "stone cast into still water," and here at nearly the halfway point we're seeing how some of the ripples spread out beyond his immediate family. I'm enjoying the writing more than in the three other Hill books I've read.
Absent in the Spring by Mary Westmacott: (The title doesn't actually have anything to do with the season; it's a quotation from Shakespeare's Sonnet 98: "From you have I been absent in the spring.") From 1944, this is the third of six novels Agatha Christie published under the alias Mary Westmacott. Joan Scudamore, traveling back to London from Baghdad after a visit to her adult daughter, encounters bad weather and misses her train, which leaves her stranded in the desert for days that feel more like weeks. We're led back through scenes from Joan's earlier life and realize that she's utterly clueless about what those closest to her want and think. Rather like Olive Kitteridge, Joan is difficult in ways she doesn't fully acknowledge. Like a desert mirage, the truth of who she's been and what she's done is hazy, and her realization feels a little drawn out and obvious. Once she gets back to London, will she act on what she's discovered about herself and reform her life, or just slip back into her old habits? This is a short and immersive book, and a cautionary tale to boot. It examines the interplay between duty and happiness, and the temptation of living vicariously through one's children.

Blog Tour: The Long Forgotten by David Whitehouse
Have you noticed how many botanical titles and covers are out there this year? If you appreciate this publishing trend as much as I do, and especially if you enjoyed Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief, I can highly recommend The Long Forgotten. David Whitehouse's third novel features plant hunting everywhere from Chile to Namibia, but it opens underwater: Professor Jeremiah Cole is in a submersible 200 miles west of Perth, Australia. He's running out of oxygen down there when he collides with a goose-beaked whale that pulls his craft to the surface. The injured whale soon dies, and when the professor's crew brings its corpse on board to perform an autopsy, they discover in its belly the black box of Flight PS570, lost on its way from Jakarta to London 30 years ago and dubbed "The Long Forgotten."
Whitehouse's inspiration for the novel was the Malaysian Airlines flight that went missing in 2014, along with a story he read about the Rafflesia "corpse flower" 15 years ago. After the curious incident with the whale, more gentle magic is to come as we meet Dove, a lonely young man who works as an ambulance dispatcher in present-day London and starts tuning into the memories of Peter Manyweathers. In 1980s New York City, Peter gave up cleaning the houses of the dead to chase after the exotic plants mentioned in a love letter he found in an encyclopedia. Through a local botanical etching club he met Dr. Hens Berg, a memory researcher from Denmark, who encouraged him in the quest. Soon Peter was off to China and Gibraltar to find rare plants under a washing machine or along a steep cliff face. Along the way he fell in love and had to decide whom to trust and what was of most value to him.
How Peter and Dove are connected is a mystery whose unspooling is a continual surprise. I found it quite unusual that this novel ends with the plane crash; I can think of books that start with one, like Before the Fall by Noah Hawley, but no others that end on one. This late flashback to the crash, followed by a memorial service delivered by Prof. Cole, proves that the flight's victims are far from forgotten. The mixture of genres, including magic realism, made me think of Haruki Murakami, and Whitehouse's style is also slightly reminiscent of Joshua Ferris and Mark Haddon. Themes of memory and family, along with vivid scenes set around the globe and bizarre plants that trap sheep or reek of death, make this book stand out. If any of these elements even vaguely appeal to you, it's well worth taking a chance on it.
A favorite passage:
"There on a ledge no bigger than an upturned hand was the Gibraltar campion. It was about forty centimeters high, with sun-kissed green leaves, no more interesting to the casual observer than any houseplant, quite ugly even. But nestled amongst the leaves, swaying, Peter found a small and beautifully detailed bilobed flower. White from a distance, up close an ethereal explosion of colour washed across the petals, from pink to purple. Elegant and soft, but surviving here, battered like a lighthouse by the wind and waves, a candle lit inside a tempest.
Peter was overcome by the sheer unlikeliness of its existence, and felt a kinship with the flower that seemed to distort him for a second. Above them, an infinite number of galaxies, planets and possibilities. Unknowns of a number that cannot be expressed. Yet here, on a protruding ledge and at the end of a rope, endless variables had colluded to bring him and the flower together."
The Long Forgotten was published by Picador on March 22nd. My thanks to the publisher for the free copy for review, and to Anne Cater for inviting me on the blog tour.
It was a pleasure to participate in the blog tour for The Long Forgotten. See below for details of where other reviews have appeared and will be appearing soon.

i really enjoyed my birthday yesterday! (i still can't believe i'm 31!) in the morning, a sweet co-worker surprised me with cupcakes at work. after work, i treated myself to a much-needed massage, and it was absolutely heavenly for this dancer's aching body. it was the perfect way to relax on my birthday after a day at work. happy birthday to me!
after the massage, ryan and i went out to dinner, then we came back home to enjoy some birthday cake and i opened my birthday presents from ryan (with a good deal of help from leko too)!
we'll be in birthday mode all week at our house and we're continuing the birthday celebrations straight through the weekend. we're looking forward to getting together with our families this weekend to celebrate!
i'm looking forward to continuing the birthday celebrations this weekend with our families!
Dinner looks delicious and that cake is so cute (and also looks delicious)! Great photos. I like the bicycle theme wrapping paper - very appropriate. We are looking forward to continuing your birthday celebration.
I really like the bike wrapping paper. I bet you can't wait to get out and ride. That cake looks delicious, chocolate and peppermint great combo. Your dinner is making me hungry. Your helper is cute, too! You could not have done it without him.


Many websites are dedicated to provide software downloads. A number of them will offer you freeware (software that can be used without having to pay), shareware (software which are free to share and tryout, but require registration after some time), yet others are demo software and trial software, which function as tyoe of the application capabilities, but don't include all of the features the total version has.
Whatever software product you are searching for, there is a big chance you are able to get freeware downloads that could be suitable for you, but are considering that free applicaion often comes without support (in fact, many of these free programs tend not to even add a help file!), to be able to end up having an application that you cannot use.
Better choices are shareware and trial or demo software systems, generally built by companies as an alternative to freelance programmers; these firms pay special attention to average user, including complete help files and customer service.
But no matter what software you may need, you should choose serious sites from which you might download them, since there are many unsafe sites that will spread virus, spyware and other threats by causing them appear as useful programs.
Another way to download software program is simply by using a p2p program; while these sharing p2p networks increase the chances to locate that program you need, additionally, they (greatly) improve the likelihood of being infected by way of a dangerous virus or Trojan embedded while on an apparently safe download. Furthermore, you will find there's chance that you will download software that isn't free to use or perhaps install, and so you will be breaking trademark without even realizing it.
But do not be scared by these words, I'm just demonstrating the potential for loss. The main advantages of software downloads are fantastic, as you grow to use different programs before you buy (and even while not having to buy whatsoever), and think about what exactly you need when you play one of these. You just need to download the application you require from serious, reputable sites.

A Call to Arms for Synthetic Biology
Scientists have synthesized from scratch a so-called chromosome "arm"--one of the largest DNA molecules ever synthesized, and developed a new method for shuffling an organism's genetic deck
Yeast cells of the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Scientists have replaced all of the DNA in the arm of a yeast chromosome with computer-designed, synthetically produced DNA that is structurally distinct from its original DNA to produce a healthy yeast cell. (Yeast chromosomes are often depicted as bow tie-shaped--with each chromosome bearing two "arms" that are positioned similarly to the two sides of a bow tie.)
These results confirm that large pieces of DNA can be synthesized and inserted into a chromosome, and validate the research team's principles for designing synthetic chromosomes. Further, the researchers report a method for changing the structure of the synthetic DNA, a process called "scrambling," which could be applied to other organisms in addition to yeast.
In addition, the successful synthesis and scrambling of the DNA in the chromosome arm represents a significant step towards the researchers' ultimate goal of synthesizing all of a yeast cell's DNA to confer desired traits on the yeast--an achievement that would likely yield many societal benefits and basic insights about which DNA structural arrangements are possible and compatible with life.
This research, which was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is described in this week's issue of Nature.
The first step of this research was to produce so-called semi-synthetic DNA according to a computer-generated blueprint for the sequence of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA. Then, the resulting semi-synthetic DNA was used to replace the desired chromosome arm of a yeast cell without impacting its health. "The yeast that underwent this process were indistinguishable in their growth properties from the native yeast," says Jef D. Boeke of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine--a member of the research team.
Next, the synthesized DNA in the arm was "scrambled;" this process involved adding a chemical to the yeast culture that caused major changes to gene-sized blocks of nucleotides in the synthesized DNA. By scrambling, some genes were lost and the order of other genes was shuffled.
This entire process was then repeated in various yeast cultures to produce a multitude of modified arms--just as shuffling and randomly removing cards from multiple decks would produce a multitude of different decks. Because of resulting differences in the scrambled genetic codes of the yeast cultures, these cultures displayed trait differences.
"We were able to track the changes we made relative to the native yeast and isolate scrambled derivatives from the semi-synthetic yeast," said Boeke. "We thereby generated a wide range of different derivatives from the semi-synthetic strain. Some scrambled strains grew as well as the native yeast and some did not." Such variation yielded insights into the relationships between DNA structure and trait expression in yeast.
Nevertheless, thus far only about one percent of the DNA in a yeast cell has been synthesized and scrambled through this research. The research team is currently working towards its long-term goal of synthesizing all 16 yeast chromosomes to order to give the organism desired traits.
One of the reasons why yeast was selected as the focus of this research is because yeast is used in so many industrial fermentation processes, including the production of vaccines and biofuels. Therefore, gaining the ability to more efficiently confer desired traits on this organism may lead to the production of new vaccines and more efficient biofuels.
Another reason to work with yeast is that, like plant, animal and human cells, it is a "eukaryote" because its cells contain complex internal structures, such as a nucleus enclosed by a membrane. Because of such similarities between yeast cells and human cells, insights into cellular processes in yeast may yield insights into basic processes in human cells.
"These researchers synthesized the largest eukaryote chromosome fragment to date," said Karen Cone, an NSF program manager. "This work lays the groundwork for being able to synthesize the genome of entire eukaryote organism."
This achievement represents a significant advancement for the field of synthetic biology--an emerging field in biology addressing the design and construction of new biological functions and systems not found in nature. Although researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute have previously synthesized bacterial chromosomes, yeast chromosomes are larger and more complicated than them and so are more difficult to synthesize.
As Boeke's team continues their work, they are unlikely to go it alone. "One of the reasons why we are so excited about this research is that we are actively seeking partners to continue our work, and we want to disseminate the organism to other researchers who want to work on it," says Boeke.

Native Plants to Know: Indian grass
Written by	Joel Springsteen
The Tallgrass Prairie ecosystem is both the most biodiverse in northern North America and one of the most endangered with 1% or less remaining. It is full of a wide variety of beautiful grass species and yet we industry continue to produce and market primarily nonnative grasses from Europe and Asia which do not contribute ecologically and have the potential to become invasive species. It is both patience trying and heartening to see more of our native grasses very slowly gaining traction in the landscaping industry including beautiful Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans).
Indian grass- Sorghastrum nutans
Indian grass can be a medium to large plant (3-7') depending on soil fertility and moisture levels and is found in full sun or part shade. It is possible that genetically different ecotypes grow on different sites like these plants growing in wet soil along the Milwaukee River vs plants growing on a dry gravelly railroad in Chicago. To keep plants from flopping over, avoid fertilizing or overwatering and plant them close enough together to lean on each other or other prairie plants during heavy winds and storms.
Indian grass supports dozens of species of grasshoppers and other leaf/stem eating insects which are important sources of protein for birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The seeds are also eaten by birds and small mammals. Indian grass was once an important source of food for bison and elk. I highly recommend this grass for home landscapes that have the space.

Native Plants to Know: Meadow Blazing Star	What is an environmental community center?
Joel Springsteen
Joel was born and raised in Papua New Guinea. While in middle school, a project to plant a backyard "rainforest" evolved into a full-blown obsession with habitat restoration. Soon after reaching a peak height of 6ft 2in, Joel moved to Milwaukee. He was amazed to discover that most native plants are conspicuously absent from the city and suburbs. He loves restoring native plant/animal communities because it combines history, ecology, and other disciplines. Joel has degrees in linguistics and biology with an emphasis in botany and conservation. He has been a land steward at the UEC since 2006.

remember that time, almost exactly two years ago, when i started a blog, wrote one post, and was never heard from again? hooray, me! well i'm back and i'm starting over. but the sentimental in me can't manage to delete that first post, so here we are. second post, two years later, and a slightly different intention for this blog.
what has happened in two years? well, to start, some of the most life-altering things that i think can occur in a person's life. i had a baby, and i moved to a new state. i am dealing with some SERIOUS THINGS here people, and i need to document it.
the main thing i'd like to focus on is my giant, challenging, scary and (hopefully, eventually) rewarding move from chicago to cleveland. hence, the blog title. for the last ten years i have lived in chicago, and considered it to be the best place on earth. and i'm only kind of exaggerating, i really think it is the best place on earth to live in your twenties and thirties. i love that city so GD much. but when i met my husband scott and he told me his long-term plan was to return to cleveland where he is from, i agreed to go with him if we made it that far, and 5 years later, here we are. we are exactly three weeks into this new life and i'm three weeks into the grief and mourning and slow acceptance of losing one of my truest loves, chicago.
SO i'm trying to find in cleveland as many of the things that i love about chicago as i can. beautiful views, fun and active friends, innovative and delicious restaurants, sweet and maybe even dog-friendly microbreweries. i'm on the hunt in a real way. i want to talk about some of my favorite experiences in chicago, and then find new favorite things in cleveland.
and in the midst of that, i'm sure i'll show you pictures of my baby and my dog and my home, as those are things i'm sort of interested in too. i mean, if you follow me on instagram, you know i think my baby is prettyyyyy photogenic and really really amusing so. i'll try not to go TOO crazy with that though.
so here we are again, let's do it for real this time!

So you're making a change. It takes guts. Good for you.
You don't need to leap into the great unknown. Slow down and listen to yourself. Where do you want to go?
This isn't an epic question, like the old interview q "Where do you see yourself in five years?". It's more about listening to your real hopes, dreams, and beliefs.
Then you can make a map. It's ok to have a map.


Good Morning everyone..Are we all ready for a new challenge..:).
Frogs n Snails and Puppy Dog Tails.

Home cooperative The Chaos Engine is coming back with a 'restoration'
DO WANT
The Chaos Engine is coming back with a 'restoration'
Updated, but not a full-blown remake
My first reaction to this annoyingly teaserish trailer for The Chaos Engine was, "Holy eff! They're remaking The Chaos Engine!" That is not quite what's happening here — this is a "restoration" of the classic top-down co-op title (also known as Soldiers of Fortune), reports Digital Spy — but that's not a name you hear frequently mentioned and I'm still excited nonetheless.
"We've seen dozens of terrible remakes of classic games," explained producer Neil McKenna at Rezzed. "When we sat down and looked at it, it didn't even need that. The gameplay, even though it is old-fashioned, it just works really well. You just need to add anything in."
This tweaked version does have some updates: namely, "a bit of gloss" for larger monitors, 16-directional controls, and a "less brutal" save system. These visual and control changes can be switched off and drop-in, drop-out cooperative play is, I'm happy to say, making the cut.
The Chaos Engine is already up for pre-order on Get Games Go. The site lists it as having a $9.99 Steam release (Windows, Mac, and Linux) planned for August of this year. Talk about completely unexpected, awesome news.

We'd been to look at a few flats in NW5 earlier this year, having initially thought it represented a good compromise on a lot of fronts, in terms of prices, proximity to green space, commuting distance, schooling and so on. That last point had turned out to be more complicated than we first thought, and as a result we had more or less given up on the idea, and I'd gone back to pretty much just burying my head in the sand.
I had, however, set up an alert on Zoopla for properties in the vicinity of one particular school we had our eye on, just in case. One place which had particularly caught my eye a few weeks back - and had predictably immediately gone under offer before we could view it - had over the weekend come back on the market again. I'd phoned yesterday assuming it would have already gone again, but for whatever reason this time it hadn't, so today we went to view it.
It's small (just two bedrooms, one of which is pretty tiny), but still bigger than where we're currently renting, and so many other things about it seemed to be just about right for us that after careful consideration over a "Dirty Burger" (we went here after a previous flat viewing, it seems to be becoming a tradition) we decided to make an offer.
To our cautious delight and surprise we had a call back from the agent later on this afternoon telling us our offer had been accepted.
Obviously I don't want to jinx it, and are fully aware this is a very early stage in the process, of which the seller can easily pull out, but still I couldn't help but feel somewhat jubilant about having got this bit further in the process - we've put in offers on a few places now, and this is the first time we've actually had one accepted.
I felt compelled to share the (tentative) good news with some of the usual suspects at work, with whom property inevitably ends up being a very frequent topic of conversation, and an impromptu celebratory pint at the Duke of Wellington was arranged.
Couldn't stay for long, as I'd arranged to meet Tom for dinner, who was working in London this week. So we started with a pizza at Oliveto, which we followed with a miniature pub crawl around Belgravia - taking in the Antelope, the Nag's Head, and the Grenadier.


Israel Defense Forces announced the attack in a rare, real-time series of tweets and later a press release.
Israel has launched an airstrike on Iranian targets in Syria.
Israel Defense Forces announced the attack in a real-time series of tweets and, later, a press release. It was a rare deviation from its usual policy of vagueness when it comes to the country's activities in Syria.
The armed forces said the attack was in response to "the launching of a ground-to-ground missile carried out by an Iranian force from Syrian territory into Israeli territory." Those attacks were thwarted by an Israeli defense system.
An IDF spokesman said the military attacked "weapons storage sites, intelligence and training sites," including an arms storage site at the Damascus International Airport.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights — a group based in the U.K. — said the strikes were Israel's most intense attacks against the Iranian targets in Syria since May.


The terms history and story are a bit confusing in English. What is the difference between them?
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Rings in the aftermath of the First World War. Although he said there are no direct correspondences between men, hobbits, elves and orcs and the different armies fighting during this global conflict, the links are quite straightforward.
The same can be said for the popular TV series Game of Thrones and the books on which it is based, A Song of Ice and Fire. G.R.R. Martin, the author, said the two main families, the Starks and the Lannisters were directly drawn from the War of the Roses in England. The Yorks confronted the Lancasters in a harsh fight for the thone. Do the names ring a bell?
Katniss Everdeen rebels against President Snow in the Capitol, a clear reference to fascist and dictatorial regimes, in The Hunger Games. The games themselves are inspired from gladiator fights back in Roman times.
And I am sure you can think of many more!
Time travel has also explored this overlap between reality and fiction. The potential danger of time travel is that the traveller can interfere with events and turn history upside down. Remember what almost happened to Martin's family in Back to the Future? Or the special care Harry, Hermione and Ron had to take when using the Time Turner to save Buckbeack, the hypogriff, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban?

What Is Consignment? Consignment Meaning and Trends
Click here to start selling online now with Shopify
by Shopify Staff
When it comes to starting a business, there's no shortage of business models to consider. Some entrepreneurs may choose the dropshipping route, while others may want to invest in growing a traditional brick-and-mortar store.
One type of business model that continues to grow in popularity is what's known as consignment. In this brief guide, we'll cover what a consignment is, as well as look at its pros and cons.
Whether you're looking for your next business idea or just want to understand how consignment shops work, be sure to read on to learn more.
What is consignment?
Consignment is a business model in which a retailer, also referred to as a consignee, agrees to pay a seller, or consignor, for merchandise after the item sells. Consignment shops are typically retail stores that specialize in a particular type of consumer product. However, there has been a rise in ecommerce-based consignment shops over the past several years.
The consignment model is effective in that the business turns otherwise unwanted or needed items into profit. Consignment arrangements generally do not give the sellers top dollar for their items, but they do give sellers the opportunity to make some cash for items that may otherwise go unused or donated in the future.
The consignment business accepts items for sale and agrees to pay the seller a percentage of the proceeds if and when the goods do sell. Consignment is often referred to as a thrift or second-hand store, however it should be noted that a thrift store generally refers to a non-profit organization, whereas consignment shops are typically for profit orgnaizations.
Common products sold through consignment:
Athletic equipment and gear
Baby furniture and accessories
Consignment pricing arrangement
Each consignment shop ultimately creates their own consignment arrangement, but the typical split between the business and the individual seller ranges from 50/50 to 40/60 or 60/40. Who gets the bulk of the proceeds often depends on how established and successful the store is. Consignment shops generally have a significant impact on the local economy, and the most well known stores are often a staple of the community.
Not to state the obvious, but the higher the demand and quality of the item you're selling, the higher the profit for both retailer and seller.
Pros of consignment
The consignment mode is popular for a reason. Let's look at the pros for both the business owner and seller.
Pros to business owners:
No need to pay up front for inventory to sell, as most retail stores need to
Any products that don't sell can be returned to consignors or disposed of
Can build a solid clientele who return regularly to scope out the changing merchandise
Payments can be made days or weeks after the item sells, improving cash flow
Pros to sellers:
No need to spend time creating listings on eBay, Etsy, or Craigslist to sell items, or setting up a retail storefront.
No need to ship or deliver sold items.
Sellers can get the item off their hands quickly and not have to worry about whether or not an item will sell elsewhere.
Cons of consignment
There are some downsides to the consignment model to consider.
Cons to business owners:
Dependence on sellers to provide a steady stream of inventory.
Disposal fees if there is a lot of merchandise left over, which can be reduced by donating leftovers to charity.
A need for a software package that makes keeping track of merchandise easier.
Cons to sellers:
Receiving less than could be earned by selling direct to buyers online.
Having to wait for payment based on the consignment period established by the specific store.
It's difficult to know how much money the sellers left on the table.
Consignment shop trends
Demand for consignment goods is on the upswing, says the Association of Resale Professionals. With the pandemic still affecting the economy, people are looking to consignment as a means to generate extra income. Growth in the number of new consignment stores is currently around 7% annually, with many consignment shops continuing to be established on a regular basis.
While not the right business model for everyone, the consignment model can be a great option to consider if you're looking to not have to rely on producing or creating your own inventory to sell.
Consignment model FAQ
What's the difference between a consignment store and a thrift shop?
The main difference between a thrift shop and a consignment store is that consignment stores are typically for-profit organizations, whereas thrift shops are generally donation-based for a charity or non-profit.
What percentage of sales do consignment stores take?
The percentage of the sale that consignment shops vary depending on a wide variety of factors, such as the item, season, and overall sale trends. In general, stores split the sales anywhere from 50/50 to 40/60 or 60/40.
What's the difference between resale and consignment?
With a resale business model, the business generally offers to purchase an item upfront. With a consignment business model, the business will offer a percentage of the sale of the item.

"The Best Art In The World"
January 2020 - "The Best Art In The World"
April 2011, Interview with Will Corwin
Will Corwin and friends
Olivia Murphy Interviews Will Corwin
Will Corwin's special blend of fantastical lightness and structure comes through in his current solo show at George and Jørgen in London—a blend made possible by Corwin's unique take on mythology, archaeology and the need to make big sculptures. Will takes some time to talk to me about his show—"alans wood" (on view through April 2nd), and his unique art practice.
Olivia Murphy: Your formal education is in architecture; can you talk a little about your transition into art?
William Corwin: I think I always wanted to make big sculptures. I used to take art classes when I was a kid at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and I desperately looked forward to the two or three classes a year when we got to glue wood bits together or make stuff out of clay. I found myself, once I'd graduated, and in the summers between terms of architecture school, mostly making models of buildings. It's kind of a ridiculous proposition because these models were often incredibly ambitious, meant to impress a client who then would insist on a more economical project, and then the architect would be dejected because their dream had been crushed. So I really began to think about the architectural master plan as this abstract sculpture, that's where the dioramas started. My first ever dream profession was archaeology though, so the dioramas are the intersection between the morose, lyrical and nostalgic aspects of a ruin or archaeological site, and the absurdity of an architectural master plan. Think the map room scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Murphy: Now, I definitely see the Indian Jones reference in Last Judgement. This architectural/archeological influence is prevalent in much of your work, but your current installation at George and Jørgen gallery in London is more directly related to medieval mosaics, in particular The Last Judgment from Santa Maria Assunta. Can you talk about how this medieval reference comes up in these large scale shelf-like and diorama sculptures?
Corwin: I'd say that I use architectural metaphors to deal with medieval diagrams! My friend Mike Ballou, who's a sculptor made fun of my carpentry in my last project, and admittedly I'm not interested in a "refined" look, I have a sort of rube-Goldberg approach, building things as I go along, and tailoring things to the spaces they inhabit, that's where my architectural/construction sensibility comes in. It also appears in the dioramas, as I mentioned before. The Last Judgement mosaic itself is an amazing vibrant diagram of how the universe works, as imagined by the artist that created it. The shelves fit really well into that cosmology, and instead of applying the medieval hierarchies of good and bad to people, i.e. saints, sinners, angels and demons, I applied it to the materials I use and the detritus I usually have in the studio-painted plaster rubble, plaster-coated wooden panels, etc. It really isn't meant to make a lot of sense, but then our ordering systems don't necessarily do that either. Dividing the natural world into kingdoms and orders and classes is very arbitrary, and intensely medieval at the same time.
Murphy: That hierarchy of materials comes through a lot in this installation. I'm interested in your self proclaimed rejection of the "refined look," being as you began making architectural models, which you talked about being more ambitious than even the client wanted. Is this more ad-hock approach to making a way of distancing yourself from that community and referential field?
Corwin: I guess in a way. When I first stopped being an architecty-person and moved completely into art I focused on painting and image making as a way to forget all the information I'd had to absorb in architecture school; structures, construction etc, but in the end it wasn't architecture that made me dig spaces and three-dimensional objects, that's why I approached architecture in the first place, because that's where my art is at. I think making ad-hock structures is a bit of me "taking the piss" out of architecture though, to use a British-ism.
Will Corwin, alans wood, 2011

Murphy: The show is entitled 'alans wood,' where does this phrase come from, and how does it relay the show's concept?
Corwin: I rented a room from this guy named Alan Wood when I first lived in London. He invited me to dinner with George Barker, the "George" in George and Jorgen (Ingrid Reynolds in Jorgen, just to confuse things!). George and I hit it off and he and Ingrid really liked the installations and wanted me to basically commandeer the gallery space for a week and create this site-specific show-an artist's dream really. Alan also introduced me to my girlfriend and has turned out to be rather unintentional guardian angel from Yorkshire in my life. So I suggested this title to George and we felt that a lot of the show was about random coincidences, so the name was suitably random, yet rife with secret meanings. Plus Alan's last name referenced the building material, and making Alan alans kind of referenced typical British place names, like St. John's Wood, which also made me think of the Stones' song, which seemed to make the exhibition suitably site-specific-British and cool.
Murphy: I love that free associative take on one's own work. That too, almost has a raiders-of-the-lost-ark feel—all these little bits of personal history buried within the show. Does this give us some glimpse into how you think in terms of creating bodies of work that have so many layers of history—personal and not—embedded within them?
Corwin: I think I've had an amazingly lucky run with the artists I worked for and with. People like Richard Patterson, Ellen Phelan, Ronnie Landfield, Mike Ballou, have had the ability, and the subtlety to integrate intensely personal narratives into an abstract framework. They avoid the "cringe-factor" of Too Much Information, but instead talk about things they love, traumas and tragedies in their lives through the materiality of their work. That's a big part of what I like to do-we assimilate history through our own personal references, or at least I do, if you can take a big meaty subject and find something that is part of yourself, it makes the lessons of the course of human events mean something. I never stop thinking about the Nazis-it's a sort of Woody Allen thing with me.
Murphy: You spend some time in Germany—the smaller works in the show are works from your residency there. Where in Germany did you do your residency? How did this experience shape these works? How do you see these works fitting in to the larger 'Last Judgment' installation?
Corwin: My residency was in Hamburg, October and November 2010. My studio was a fantastic loft in the Fleetinsel district, but I had an exhibition at the Kunstlerhaus Frise, in Altona. The smaller pieces were made for that exhibition. I guess in the back of my mind I was thinking of the firebombing of Hamburg during the second world war, and in general the ghosts that lurk in the history of that country, in relatively recent memory. The smaller pieces, which I've been making for the last couple of years generally are about gloomy meditative spaces, on the one hand, and small shrine-like spaces on the other. The shrines are glass-fronted and kind of Joseph Cornell influenced, I call a lot of them Mirhab, after the small niches that you find in mosques that represent the direction one faces when praying. I really like the idea of an architectural detail somehow linking in with a sort of cosmic, or at least global spiritual positioning system. The ghost pieces are more about creating a dark peepshow environment, where it's very hard to make out what's actually going on. The gloomy pieces are meant to frustrate the viewer, like looking through a keyhole into a walled garden, to bring it all back to another iconic medieval metaphor!
So there's a tenuous connection between The Last Judgement, and the Diet of Worms (2011) (the other large piece in the show) and the smaller Hamburg pieces-mostly a connection in emotive capability, rather than theme…they share an aesthetic.
Murphy: You were in London for the opening of 'alans wood' (on view in London until April 2nd), correct? What's next for you then? Will you be back to work in NY? Any upcoming shows or events on the radar?
Corwin: I'm back in New York relatively soon after the show closes. The only definite project on the horizon is a residency at the Clocktower Gallery. It's an amazing penthouse space on top of a building in lower Manhattan, where I'll get a room to myself for six weeks, and some money from the Jerome Foundation. My idea is basically to build myself into the space- layer the interior of the room, onion-skin style, with shelves and bookcases, piled high with these plaster objects, which as the project moves along, will become harder and harder to access, a library of frustration. I'm really excited to work at the Clocktower - it was founded by Alanna Heiss and Gordon Matta-Clark, Joel Shapiro and Richard Tuttle showed their early work there, so it's both a challenging and at the same time inspiring space. There's also a plan in the works to do something in a chashama storefront, I'm thinking of doing a small satirical version of Hitler/Speer's Germania that can only be seen through peepholes left in a whitewashed store window.
Murphy: Wow, an archeological, onionized installation sounds great. Will that be open to the public while it's happening? Or will it be on view after the fact?
Corwin: The thing about residencies versus gallery shows is that very often your process is meant to be available to public view-especially at the Clocktower, which is a public gallery space as well as a radio station (108 Leonard St, Top Floor). I hope people will stop by and look, July and August are a pretty quiet time in New York, so I won't have much competition—which I'm really jazzed about—but it would be good to get a two week head-start putting the framework in place, before the hordes of visitors I'm expecting start showing up!
Murphy: That sounds great! Looking forward to checking it out mid-July!

Business cards have continuously circulated through the society for the past years. It has been considered one effective way of advertising and getting in touch with important people for business or for pleasure. From the regular cardboard paper filled with information to the cute and unique designs published today, this simple way of getting business has indeed come a long way. To date, many designers have innovated the business card look through the expansion and unlimited fuel of our imagination and creativity. Try browsing through the net and you will not be disappointed on how business-minded people have turned their formal business cards into great and unique vessels of information.
This next post entitled A Showcase of Blue Business Cards Design is one of those many collection of cool business cards. Check out how the color blue can spice up your existing biz-cards… Get inspired!!!
I like the design of the last card, Blue Bird. Up till now I always think that laminated business card is the most attractive card. But I fall in love with the Blue Bird Card design. Anyway, what material used for this card?
One thing I notice about these cards is that they are all very clean and minimal type on them. Try working in the printing business where common business folk don't understand that and they try to put every little bit of information they can think of on there. Different when it is designers and artists that understand that clean space is very good.
I was thinking about getting new business cards for myself, and this blog caught my eye and definitely convinced me that my new business cards are going to be blue ! "Furniture Business Card" is the one I liked the most. So minimalistic, yet not too boring. Very representative. Just something like the one I was thinking about. Thanks for posting these. It helped me a lot with the decision.
Such an inspiring list, thanks for share..
