The Reign of George VI, 1900-1925
Digital Art
Drawings & Paintings
This little oddity, written in 1763, can be called a "paleo-future": it is now available online at
In it, the author predicts the glorious reign of George VI and his conquest of France in a world which is essentially 1763 only bigger and better, with no hint of an industrial revolution and a still loyal (and rather underpopulated) British North America....so, scenario.
It is 1936. About a decade has passed since the great and glorious George VI died of an obstruction of the bowels, leaving the British Empire stronger and larger than ever before, but rather overextended. Alas, his son, George VII, although hardworking and well-intentioned, is no genius, and prone to favorites: and things have spun rather rapidly out of control.
It is a world where things have remained essentially stuck in the 18th century, with events diverging sharply from OTL after 1763 in Britain, and perhaps earlier elsewhere. The Industrial Revolution failed to take off: James Watt perished in a dreadful kettle-related accident in 1764, weavers were protected from automated looms by a government concerned about social harmony, and much scientific thought was diverted into sophistical "what is knowledge" and "what is the fundamental basis of the universe" thinking of an unproductive sort. The Scottish Enlightenment was stunted.
The US revolution was averted by some divide and conquer methods combined with the carrot of some timely reforms, and George III avoided insanity, leaving a strengthened monarchy. French revolutionaries ended dangling from ropes, and barely the faintest breeze of liberalization reached the fortified heart of Mother Russia. Various wars and border changes followed, but the tenor of the world remained the same.
The British Empire is still the world's greatest, and its rule over India remains secure thanks to the rather limited flow of democratic ideas that have reached Bombay and Calcutta: the various reform movements speak of Indians gaining the rights of Englishmen, but given how few people can vote in either Britain or the colonies, that's not much. Outright "out of India" movements tend to rally under religious banners which even the local elites recognize as regressive. Indian home industries still prosper under a free-trade regime, safe from being undersold by British mass-produced factory goods. India and vast areas of SE Asia, along with the former Dutch East Indies, are still overall run by the East India Company, whose power has grown so great some refer to it as the "third branch of government" aside from King and Parliament.
Meanwhile, American colonies quarrel among themselves like crabs in a bucket, and as they have grown in numbers, the odds of an all-America political movement dwindle: they have (limited) representation in the British parliament nowadays, and general prosperity soothes most locals. The notion of shaking off British rule in recent years has begun to shift to a conviction that the Imperial government must one day shift its center to the American continent, as the population of North America catches up with and surpasses that of the home country.
(As of 1935, the population of British America north of the Caribbean and Mexico came to 33 millions,[1] not counting Indian nations, while Britain and Ireland combined came to some 35 millions, having long since outgrown their food supply and requiring steady imports from American farms: surplus mouths either moved to America or to the East Indian territories, where an increasingly powerful mixed Anglo-Indian caste numbered over twelve million by this point).
Britain is still a very elitist nation, dominated by nobles and big non-noble landowners with some merchants in the mix, and government ministries are full of quarreling Dukes. Indeed, democracy has to some extent declined since 1763, with the monarchy increasingly pushing around its ministers, and George VI arranging a veritable coup d'etat against his rivals in the government. Parliamentary supremacy is in very poor shape, and the very symbol of monarchist ambition is the "Super Versailles" built in the Midlands, the planned city of Stanley, where the entire government was removed from the reeks of London.
London, even without industrialization, has grown to over two million, and burns a lot of coal, brought by canal barge: it is awesomely filthy and overflowing with grimy fake-classical buildings. (After various experiments in Neo-Renaissance and Mathematically Rationalized architecture, Neo-Classical came back with a vengeance in the 20th century, and in 1936 is only now running out of steam: Stanley is a fright of enormous domes, columns, pediments, arches, etc. )
Besides being more heavily populated than 1763, Britain also has a much denser network of well-paved roads and deep canals: horse-drawn carriages balanced on ingenious contrivances of springs to minimize jolting and barges driven by wind and animal power carry huge amounts of human and material traffic. Semaphore towers allow for rapid communications in the absence of telegraphs or radio. The institutions for higher education have been greatly expanded, although perhaps with an excessive emphasis on the arts rather than practical knowledge. Roman-style central heating has been reinvented, and the comfy chair has been introduced, both much to the disdain of moralists. The land is intensively cultivated, and the colder north is dotted with huge greenhouses.
Hanover is no longer united with Britain, but part of the Holy Roman Empire, due to some complex dynastic maneuverings, a vitally important temporary alliance with Prussia, and the need to get a complete ass out of Britain and out of the line of succession.
Slavery still exists in this world, although rather more heavily regulated and with stronger rights for slaves than OTL 1763. Abolitionist movements have bubbled up from time to time, but with all the island of the Caribbean and the US south within the Empire, and no machinery to substitute for slave labor, there has always been far too much money at stake for them to succeed. Slave labor also remains important in the Spanish Empire, while half of all Russian subjects are still under various forms of serfdom. Progressive German rulers have eliminated slavery (if not serfdom) from the Holy Roman Empire, although British slave owners snidely note that with virtually no overseas possessions, it's not like the Germans have much use for them. British slave traders are also regulated, and the conditions on ships returning from Africa are not much worse than, say, immigrant ships carrying Irish passengers to America (only moderately lethal, in other words). Things remain ghastly on Italian, Venetian, Ottoman and Spanish slave ships. By and large, slavery is so normal and accepted a part of things that one could, say, write a history of George VI without once mentioning the institution.
If slavery is not as bad as it used to be in the Americas (Brazilian slaves now actually are self-reproducing, reducing the need for imports) a continued African slave trade has been very bad for large parts of Africa, huge areas having been almost depopulated of human beings, and state building of a particularly brutal and Darwinian sort is on-going. A bit of a slave shortage is arriving in East Africa as the only states left have embraced Islam and loads of trade guns, making further extraction by the Zanzibaris difficult: Christian local proxies from the west, Swahili Muslims from the east, look to the upper Congo basin, as the last relatively unexploited area with feeble inhabitants beckons. In the south, the Dutch cape colony has recently come into a fabulous fortune in gold and diamonds, and is Britain's newest bestest friend. The Afro-Dutch (there was no British occupation and no Boertrek in this world) are a little uncomfortable with this, wondering how tight the British embrace may become.
Russia is a centralized absolutism, probably a more tightly run ship (certainly with rather fewer revolutionaries) than late Czarist Russia OTL. Due to a lack of railways power projection remains weak in the east, so Russia's attention remains focused nearer to home than China or Korea. Russia's push west, in which it took advantage of an era of British weakness to glom Scandinavia, has temporarily paused. It is currently looking south, and its victories over the Ottomans have been a soothing balm to the hurt of defeat at British hands.
The Ottomans, which managed to put up a better defense against the Russians in the latter 18th and early 19th centuries, (the Crimea wasn't lost until the late 19th century) and were spared the rise of ethnic nationalism, are struggling to adjust to the highly efficient and organized new Russian armies, and there is considerable argument as to whether Wallachia and Moldova will be more easily held if absorbed directly into the empire or given greater autonomy in expectations they will fight, if not for the Sultan, but to keep from becoming another Russian province.
China, whose scholar-bureaucrats are oddly similar in their 18th-century style rationalism to those government agents fantasized by early 18th century European intellectuals [2], is generally run as a tighter ship than OTL Qing China, with a more extensive bureaucracy, tremendous amounts of paperwork, and lots of massive public works. Overpopulation has impoverished the country as OTL, but efficient relief work is carried out on a fine-grained level and strict government decrees limit the number of children born: a government bureau organizes large-scale child-swapping to make sure that the supply of sons is equitably shared out among the peasants. Alas, all is not well under heaven, as scholars call for revolutionary change rather than palliative methods, and ambitious officials plan to transfer millions of peasants to the relatively underpopulated regions of SE Asia. Unfortunately, there are now extensive overseas holdings by the "big-nosed sea barbarians" to the south, and their military skills, as tested in clashes in Burma, the Himalayas, and Siberia, are formidable. Fighting 18th century armies and having been rather more enthusiastic about maintaining an artillery arm than the OTL Qing post-1700, the Chinese have so far discouraged expansion into their homelands (there are treaty ports for trade, but these remain firmly under Chinese control: opium imports were stopped cold before it became a major industry) but Qing armies have proven incapable of projecting force much beyond the traditional borders. Under pressure from within and without, the ruling classes worry.
Much of Germany was unified by a dynastic union between the Hohenzollerns and the Habsburgs (the distinctly irreligious court of Prince Wilhelm didn't give a crap about their monarch converting to Catholicism, and his Protestant subjects knew better than to make wiseass comments), but the electors of the HRE (Bavarians, Saxons, etc.) remained largely independent up until the 1920s, while pressures from French and Russians concerned re the balance of power led to Hungary being spun off as an electorate within the HRE under a subordinate branch of the royal family. (The Kaiser moves often between the "summer capital" of Berlin and the "winter capital" of Vienna. Or is it the other way around?) Only after receiving some humiliating defeats from the Russian-French combination and seeing their bacon saved by British armies, and the ascension to the throne of an energetic new monarchy has it been possible to cajole and bully the major princes and dukes and such into accepting a new centralization of the HRE, a work still in progress.
The Spanish Empire is highly authoritarian and even more conservative than the Russians: having managed to crush the local nobility when it revolted in the 19th century against centralization from Madrid, the omnipresent secret police snuff out even the smallest spark of unconventional thinking, although a vigorous growth of internal trade aided by improvements in transportation have increased the prosperity of the Empire substantially in the last century and a half. The British conquest of Mexico has had the benefit of rallying frightened South American viceroyalties to the homeland, even if it was a terrible blow to the empire's prestige. The King is a bit uncertain about the Mexican revolt: it's good that his former subjects are being a pain to the Brits, but he wants to know: are they revolting for him or for themselves? An unruly Mexico under British rule may be a better thing than an independent Mexico that doesn't want to be ruled from Madrid either…
Australia has been left to the Spanish: America remained the preferred place to dump criminals (as indentured servants) well into the 19th century, when transportation for crime went out of fashion. The dry, mostly desert continent and its very primitive inhabitants simply struck the British as not worth the effort to colonize. There will be many a "D'OH!" when the Spanish discover the gold.
Italy was united not by the Sardinian/Piedmontese monarchy (crushed and conquered by the French in the early 19th century), but by the most progressive (in modern times) branches of the Bourbon family, the Neapolitans. Italy is perhaps the most liberal and least oppressive of the major European states, and Naples rivals Paris for size. They were rather alienated by the distinctly uncooperative attitude of their French cousins during their period of expansion, and their outright support for the continued existence of Venice led to a sharp break: now that the British are too tied up with fighting a French revolt, and the French too busy revolting, to interfere, the King has declared "the final unification of Italy" to be under way, and has invaded the Kingdom of Venice, which has somewhat messed up expectations by putting up quite a fight. The Germans are, meanwhile, mulling over whether or not they want to have a common border with Neapolitan Italy.
Rationalism remains the golden rule, although often abused in the pursuit of some prejudice or other: most elites subscribe to rationalist ideas, with reactionary Spain being something of an exception, not cottoning to the frequent Deism or Pantheism or even Agnosticism among foreigners. (The Tsars run the Orthodox church, but are highly suspicious of religious "enthusiasm"). The 19th century has been a less religious one than OTL for the Anglosphere in particular: although the American colonies are more religious than the British Isles, religious revivalism in America has been hampered by the heavy state support for Anglicanism, while the need for religious revival to pacify the horribly exploited lower classes never was as pressing in a Britain where industrialization, let alone its dark satanic mills era, never took place. There never was a Romantic movement, and mountains are mostly unproductive obstacles rather than sources of Awe. Scientific Racism" is still a young and tender shoot, and while most agree black people are probably inferior, there is less certainty about Asians and Middle Easterners in a world where the Chinese and the Ottomans still loom formidable: the general notion is still that people are pretty much the same everywhere and the main problem is that foreigners suffer from the disadvantage of not being born and raised in England/France/Germany. Art remains rather formal, and some daring Russian artists are just starting to dabble with what might be described as "expressionism."
As mentioned before, the British are overextended. The suddenness of their defeat stunned the French for a while, and the generous and liberal hand of the conqueror helped pacify resistance, but the increasingly obvious British view that France would be better off the more Anglicized it was – including, horrors, the food - the efforts to replace Catholicism with Anglicanism, the takeover of the French economy by great British firms and enterprises, all brought French resentment to the boiling point: with a new King enthroned in London, a king rather uninterested in visiting his new European possession and happy enough to hand over most decision-making re the governing of France to various corrupt cronies, things reached a boiling point.
The French Revolt is widespread and reaches most classes, and the Popular Army, which strkes and then hides amongst the people, usually lead the British to throw fits and then massacre "communities in a state of rebel sympathy", which in turn leads to French popular rage. Currently, British politics are deadlocked between the "grind them into submission" groups and the "make some sort of deal" groups. Things have not been helped by the breakout of a second rebellion in recently conquered Mexico, where British rule, often supplemented with rude colonial forces, was rather less closely supervised by the magnanimous George.
(The Spanish and Russians watch with Schadenfreude: the Germans, with a certain secret gladness, since many in Germany think that a Britain that could successfully absorb France and the Low Counties might start eyeing them next.)
Meanwhile, the lower nobility and middle class, noting the seeming weakness and incapability of the current monarchy (in truth facing challenges probably beyond the scope of most monarchs) are pushing for parliamentary reforms and curbs on overweening monarchical powers, a return to genuine Parliamentary supremacy. (They're not talking about returning to London yet: Stanley really is nicer than London).
Although science has gone and got itself a bit tangled up, it has not stopped. That the earth is very, very old is increasingly generally accepted, and the notion that lifeforms have changed over time has become well known enough to inspire various competing theories: only lately have the Rational Materialists and their theory of Survival of the Most Fortunate (which disturbs the preaching classes) come to dominate the argument over the various proponents of vital forces and Divine manipulation. Telescopes and microscopes have substantially improved since 1763, and the asteroids mapped out in some detail. There is a theory of electricity and some are fiddling with ways to send signals along a lengthy wire. The germ theory of disease has finally triumphed over theories re negative vital forces, solar influences, rogue body cells, toxic miasmas, and breakdowns of atomic bonds: new sanitary procedures are finally beginning to cut into the dreadful child death rates (the building of the first large-scale urban sewers since Rome fell has helped, too).
Technology advances. Some quite sophisticated clockwork automata amuse the populace, and balloon races are popular. And the steam engine, long used for various toys and amusements (fairground calliopes, for instance), is being recently put to more practical purposes. Every now and then over the decades someone came up with a design for a steam-powered horseless carriage or flying machine, only to stumble over matters of practicality. But an American engineer has built a steam-powered boat which has gone quite a way up the Mississippi. In the great mining and manufacturing center of the Urals, owners of workshops terribly short of skilled labor have started to use steam-powered, automated machinery created by engineers from the St. Petersburg Royal Institute of Engineers. And in Germany, the Kaiser has decreed the creation of an "iron road" that will allow quick transport of men and materials by steam-powered "horseless carriages" from central Germany to the Russian border. Most foreign observers, so far, laugh at King Frederick's Folly…
[1] Much more restrictions on immigration, especially of Catholics (and with only sailing ships it was harder to get there in the first place) combined with a westwards expansion rather slowed by government policy and lower birth rates without the development of modern medicine and the wealth produced by the industrial revolution: still probably far too low, but the book had only 11 million Americans around 1922…
[2] The book was written well before Macartney's embassy to China; the lack of mention of China in the discussion of colonial possessions leads me to think that China is assumed to be a fairly formidable empire, unlikely to fall into warlordism as a result of European prodding.

I don't find it implausible that there may be some way around the paradoxes of relativity. But I suspect that if there is, the engineering involved is likely to be as beyond our present capabilities as reproducing the Apollo project would be beyond the skills of your average tribe of San hunter-gatherers.

It may interest you to know that the earliest recorded alternate history appears to be the romance "Tirant Io Blanch"
, written and published in 1490. The premise appears to be that a medieval knight from Brittany prevents the Turks from taking Constantinople, saving the Byzantine Empire.
In any case, this wasn't an alternate history when it was written as such; just a specific depiction of what people from the 18th century thought the 20th century would look like.

It's definitely weird looking at what people thought the future would look like without the benefit of hindsight. It kind of makes you wonder what the point is of trying to predict the future is, because, inevitably, forces and variables that one cannot anticipate intervene and shift history onto a new course that no one sees coming.
Still, it makes for interesting reading. Nice work!

Advanced Practice Nurses stuck in the "Middle"
I've been in a couple of situations recently where people have used the term "mid-level" to describe nurse practitioners (NP's) or advanced practice nurses (APN's). They likely didn't mean to be derogatory, but that's how it feels to this NP. Think about it: mid-level implies that APN's are of a lower stature or quality than physicians, which is not the case. We are different in training and perspective, but the evidence shows our outcomes are comparable and sometimes better (https://www.nursingeconomics.net/ce/2013/article3001021.pdf.)
It would be handy to have a term specifically denoting "non-physician licensed independent healthcare providers" but "mid-level" is not it. So, the next time you want to describe such providers consider that "APN's" is the same number of syllables and "APNs/PA's" only a few more and both are more collegial.
And, while I'm on the topic of APNs, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) just issued a policy paper warning those states considering restrictions of APN practice that such restrictions could be interpreted as potential restraint of trade since they impede competition and restrict access to providers who are effective and safe (http://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/competition-matters/2014/03/doctor-or-nurse-practitioner-will-see-you-now) . This is a follow up to the 2011 IOM Future of Nursing report which advocated allowing nurses to practice to the full scope of their education and training http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2010/The-future-of-nursing-leading-change-advancing-health.aspx .
We will all be needed as providers given our aging population and healthcare reform. Palliative care could lead the way since we are an interdisciplinary specialty that has strongly embraced APN's. Onward!

Prater, Berlin
Prenzlauer Berg
Germany 14050
Tel: 49 30 448 5688
Concierge.com's insider take:
Berlin's oldest biergarten (it dates to 1837) seems like it could seat half of Berlin: It encompasses nearly an acre of blond-wood tables and benches. Its neighborhood, Prenzlauer Berg, once teemed with Marxists and East German noncomformists; now, families and trendy hipsters gather beneath the soaring chestnut trees to eat and drink. Prater serves up light, dark, and wheat beers; lightweights can try the local concoction known as a Radler (a cloying mix of beer and Sprite). The kitchen hut has the most diverse offerings of any Berlin beer garden, from grilled wursts and German-style ravioli (known as Maultaschen) to corn on the cob and Mediterranean olives. There's a rustic indoor restaurant, too—but really, who comes to a biergarten to sit inside?

ORACLE Arena, Oakland, CA
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Down 11 points early in the second quarter, Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson seemed more than satisfied with the way his team responded.
David Lee finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds, Stephen Curry added 20 points and nine assists, and the Warriors shook off a slow start to ease past the New Orleans Hornets 98-88 on Wednesday night.
"There are great leaders on this team that see the finish line," Jackson said. "They see the finish line. They sense it, and they're doing a great job of keeping their foot on the gas pedal, running through the rope. I'm awfully proud of them, but we still have a lot of work to do."
With one eye on the standings and another on the court, the Warriors never looked discouraged.
Jarrett Jack had 19 points and eight assists off the bench against his former team to keep the Warriors in sixth place in the Western Conference playoff chase. Golden State (43-32) remained one game ahead of Houston (42-33), which won 112-102 at Sacramento. The Rockets own the tiebreaker after going 3-1 against the Warriors this season.
Golden State outshot New Orleans 46.2 to 39.8 percent, won the rebounding battle 47 to 39, and fought through foul trouble from its starting backcourt of Curry and Klay Thompson. The Warriors have held three of their past four opponents to less than 40 percent shooting.
"I think that's the good thing about it. You can go back a couple of games ago where I thought our offense, or lack of offense and making shots, affected us defensively," Jackson said. "Tonight we missed shots, but our defense kept us in the ballgame until we began to make shots. That's our brand of basketball."
A style New Orleans never could solve.
Eric Gordon scored 21 points, and Robin Lopez had 17 points and seven rebounds for the Hornets, who were swept 4-0 by the Warriors this season. New Orleans led by 11 points in the second quarter before the Warriors surged ahead for good, leading by as much as 16 points in the fourth.
"They switched, they blocked. They did a great job of knowing what we like to do and they really took us out of our offense," said Hornets forward Ryan Anderson, held to three points on 1-of-8 shooting. "They pressured us, and we didn't respond very well. I think obviously they stepped it up."
The playoff chase has been evident all over Golden State's faces -- literally.
Andrew Bogut convinced his teammates not to shave until the regular-season finale at Portland on April 17 to bond during the playoff push. Golden State closed the homestand 4-1.
With shadows and scruff starting to show, the playoff picture also is becoming clearer.
The Warriors are four games in front of the eighth-place Los Angeles Lakers and 4 1/2 games ahead of the Utah Jazz. Any combination of three Warriors wins or losses by the Jazz would clinch Golden State's first playoff berth since 2007.
"The big thing for us," Lee said, "is continuing to compete."
After not playing since Saturday, Golden State hardly looked like a team headed to the postseason at the start.
At one point in the first quarter, the Warriors missed 10 consecutive shots from the floor during a scoreless stretch of more than 4 minutes. The Hornets took a 30-19 lead early in the second quarter behind a balanced backcourt of Gordon and Greivis Vasquez, although they missed a chance to create more separation when they had the chance.
"We felt like there was a little bit of a lull in the building," Jack said. "The fans were kind of just waiting, chomping at the bit for us to give them something to cheer for."
Once the Warriors found that rhythm, New Orleans struggled to slow them down.
Curry made a pair of 3-pointers and threw a deep pass to Lee for a runaway dunk to highlight a 25-6 surge that gave Golden State a 44-36 lead. Curry added another from beyond the arc to put the Warriors up 51-42 at the break.
New Orleans started strong -- and Golden State didn't -- again in the second half.
Lopez's short jumper in the lane sliced Golden State's lead to 69-68 late in the third quarter. Jack answered with a 3-pointer on the other end, and Curry hit another at the start of the fourth quarter to put the Warriors up seven and send a 28th straight sellout crowd announced at 19,596 into a frenzy.
Gordon tried to will New Orleans back but had little help from a young team still trying to find its way. He made 10 of 11 free throws but shot just 5-of-17 from the field.
"Some guys had a tough shooting night, but we had more defensive breakdowns in the first half than we've had in full games lately," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "They did a great job of exploiting that."
Game notes
Hornets reserve F Lance Thomas sat out with a sore foot. Williams said Thomas hurt his foot in a workout Monday and is day-to-day. ... The Warriors have swept the season series against the Hornets four times in 26 years. ... A moment of silence was held before the game for Greg Willard, a longtime referee who died of pancreatic cancer Monday at age 54.

MVP: David Lee registered his league-leading 50th double-double of the season and did it in style. Golden State's lone All-Star had 23 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists in leading his team to a convincing win.
X factor: Jarrett Jack's been hit-or-miss this season in the way of more notorious reserve gunners like J.R. Smith and Jamal Crawford, but tonight his game was on from the beginning. Jack had 19 points and 8 assists off the bench and kept the Warriors afloat during their early struggles.
LVP: Ryan Anderson is hardly known for his defensive prowess, so the fact that he'd struggle defending a skilled big like Lee doesn't surprise. He's supposed to make up for that on the other end by carrying the Hornets' second unit -- 3 points on 1-of-8 from the field simply won't cut it.

Certosa di Padula - UNESCO Protected Heritage Sites in Italy
Journey through the site
The facade is emphasizing dramatic, often strained effect and typified by bold, curving forms, elaborate ornamentation, with its carved choirs and valuable altar. The big cloister is a huge rectangle, with a two-order portico of 84 arches, adorned by a central fountain.
The succession of the spaces corresponds exactly to its religious and administrative organization. A longest conventuale wall, equipped to
defense towards the outside, encloses not only the constructed structures, but also the green space where they were the gardens and the fields for cultivation. The granaries and stables were constructed and the rooms for lodging pilgrims were also found. The church is classified into uniform parts respective to the converged ones and the fathers. In this church, Women were not admitted and so outside of the Certosa, a second church for Women was constructed and it is open to all.
From the church fcto into the Certosa, there lies a place where important decisions are taken and in the Treasure precious relics were conserved.
The great rectangular space of the external court is delimited from four arms of factory.
This is a place used to establish and strengthen the contacts with the community to safeguard territory and economy and organize the collection of qualified labor and workers.
A document of 1734 talk about payments made to two painters Sardo and Francisco di Martino to have realized the landscapes in frescoes. The frescoes of the first room introduce decorated flowers and fourteen scenes drawn from gospels and arranged symmetrically.
The Church had its greater part of the time destined to communitarian life to sing the early riser and the Praises two times during the day. We find the Chorus of Converse and Chorus of Fathers here. The chorus of converse is used for communitarian purposes. The Chorus of Fathers prohibited common entry. The Chorus of Fathers finished in 1507 and composed from 24 stalls has figures of Martyrdoms, the four Bishops and the landscapes.
The Chorus of the Fathers has a cooked pavement decorated with episodes of New Testament. In 1857, the abolished burlaps namely the Vergine with Bambino, the martyrdom and the dead women were recommissioned through paintings.
Numerous silver furnishings are there in the Nail head of the Treasure conserved such as Michaelangelo's. It has it decorated from putties and from it frescoes and that it contained of the closets in "most fine inlaid walnut of olive tree root, and of other woods with capricious design". The ivory cross was the cited in the XIX the century is known for its excellence of design and singular anatomical expression of the meats of the Christ and for the inimitable execution of the delicate one alloy and the drapery around the body.
In the certose the Cemetery occupied a limited area and the bodies are buried without coffins and so they decompose and the same place is used after ten years to bury. Few payment documents from 1742 attest that the restructured Chiostro of the ancient cemetery had garden with flowerbeds and plants ornament. The ancient cemetery was situated in a rather set apart place of the Certosa, outside of the main axis represented from the rectilinear distance. In the corridor of the Chiostro of the ancient cemetery the nail head is opened of the founder, Tommaso Sanseverino. Between the decorations of the nail head that of the monument, a representation of coat of arms is found.
The Refectory is where a common meal of Sunday is served. The payment documents (Invoice) belonging from 1734 to 1739, tell us that the jobs of the refectory were carried out with all the taste decorations late baroque. All the doors date back to 1737 and have marble decorations. The 61 stalls in Walnut cover the refectory.
The Kitchen is considered the organization that prepares the food to the inside of Certosa and in occasion of the arrival of external masters extraordinary lunches are provided in honor of visitors of the highest rank In 18th century, the kitchen had a massive restructuring of windows, roof and the ceiling and the door from pantry to the cemetery. The final restorations brought back the paintings representing the fathers of Certosa.
The Wine Cellars are for charters to have wine during meals, which is distributed with bread. The restructuring started in 1785.
The Chiostro of Proxies trains the fathers on the Economic patrimony and supervises the good functioning of the house and it is always taken care that the house never lacks in the self-sufficiency of the Fathers. To the center of the Chiostro one is found circular Fontana in stone adorned from a dolphin and animals and the flowerbeds, arranged symmetrically in simple and elegant way, delimit four
pyramids in stone. Even though there are no documents to talk about the restructuring, the decoration to putties continues from the northern arm of the porch in a corridor creating effective ends evocative cuts of light.
The Cells of the Priore was entrusted for civil jurisdiction when the feudal power was exercised on the peasants. The power of decisions was given to the captain. This is easily accessible to the servants and the strangers of the convent.
The Library that had continuous wall of closets in walnut, which had books, is all conserved now in National Library of Naples. The restructuring gave it with allegorical scenes that decorate as many windows of the Library.
The Large Chiostro and the Scalone runs 140 meters long and 149 meters wide, articulated with 84 pillars on which runs a stone decorated with martyrdom-inspired designs. The documents date back to 1583 talks about the new Chiostro featured with amplitude of dimensions and identical architectonic elements. The small cemetery and the fountain to the center of this structure date back to 1640.
The 24 Cells, constituted from a corridor placed immediately to the entrance, from two rooms that contain respective the hearth and the cubiculum
The Park was the common garden that spreads across to 800 meters, dates back to 1749 and had olive grove and oak wood cultivated. During the I World War, the site served as concentration camp of Austrian prisoners'. The barracks are arranged in the field and the designs are conserved in the Institute of History and Culture of the Engineers to Rome.

Korsteel Kimberwicke Bit
English Bridle AccFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Korsteel
Model: Korsteel Kimberwicke Bit
Category: English Bridle Acc
Purchase: I bought this bit after my horse was getting headstrong. It was around $30 at State Line Tack.
Likes: This bit is really strong and can give you great control, however sometimes it is too strong. It is easy to put on and adjust and sits pretty well in my horse's mouth.
Dislikes: This bit is too strong for my horse. I rode in it for the first time and it was on the gentler setting and he wouldn't move. I wasn't even pulling on him. Of course, this is just my horse. My friend uses this on her horse for cross country because she just runs through a normal snaffle. She is fine with it on the gentler setting.
Quality: This is a well built bit. It still looks perfect after years of use. I'm not a fan of leverage bits, but this one does the job on a strong horse.
Summary: This is a nice bit if your horse truly gets out of control. If they don't then it would be much better to use a snaffle and work it out. To me this bit seems too harsh, although if you're looking for a kimberwicke I would recommend this one.

Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
DENVER -- No win for the ages. Or, for that matter, the aged.
At 49, Jamie Moyer failed in his second attempt to become the oldest pitcher to win a major league game when Madison Bumgarner took a no-hit bid into the sixth and scattered four hits over 7 1/3 innings in the San Francisco Giants' 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday.Moyer's shot at history was thwarted not only by Bumgarner, another crafty left-hander who in many ways is a younger version of Moyer, but also by teammate Dexter Fowler, whose sixth-inning error on a routine fly ball to center led to two unearned runs.The Rockies made two errors behind Moyer, who relies on his defense and on fooling hitters, not blowing fastballs past them."Yeah, that's what he does," teammate Jason Giambi said. "He gets guys to put the ball in play and you've got to make outs. And you can't make those little mistakes, because he's not a strikeout pitcher. You can't keep asking him to throw more and more pitches."Moyer (0-2) surrendered four runs, two earned, and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked one, struck out three and hit a batter before leaving to a standing ovation in the sixth."He's done an outstanding job," Giambi said. "You can't ask more from the two starts he's made for us. It's just unfortunately we've made a mistake here or there or not come up with the big hit to get him over the top and come up with that first W."The 22-year-old Bumgarner (1-1), who wasn't even born when Moyer made his major league debut in 1986, stifled a Rockies lineup that had produced 17 runs and 22 hits the night before. He walked two and struck out two.Brian Wilson converted his first save opportunity of the season, but he needed 32 pitches to get the final three outs. The Rockies loaded the bases with one out when pinch hitter Todd Helton lined out to second baseman Emmanuel Burriss. Tyler Colvin, who broke up Bumgarner's no-hitter in the sixth, drew a walk to make it 4-2, before Marco Scutaro flied out to right.Colvin's sinking line drive went under the glove of diving left fielder Melky Cabrera for a one-out triple in the sixth. He scored on Fowler's single to make it 4-1.The age difference between the starting pitchers -- 26 years and 256 days -- was the largest since Satchel Paige faced Bill Monbouquette in 1965, and the third-largest since 1900, according to STATS LLC."It was pretty cool getting to throw against him," Bumgarner said. "I can see why he's still successful. He's tough to hit."Moyer became the oldest pitcher to make multiple starts in a season, but what he really wants is to get that first win since 2010 with Philadelphia. He missed all of last season after ligament-replacement surgery on his left elbow."I threw way too many pitches early in the game," Moyer said. "I made a lot of good pitches when I needed to."Part of the reason for Moyer's high pitch count of 112 was that he had to get out of a bases-loaded jam in the first after third baseman Chris Nelson made a throwing error on the game's first batter."Jamie gave us a chance to win," shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. "Couple of errors. Not great defense."Or offense, for that matter."It's funny and it's baseball," Tulowitzki said. "Probably not too many people expected the offensive outburst yesterday with (Tim) Lincecum pitching and then today everybody's probably thinking well, they hit Lincecum well and Bumgarner, they're probably going to do the same. And baseball doesn't work like that. Bumgarner had good stuff. I give them credit. It's just too bad that we dropped the game."And that Fowler dropped Ryan Theriot's fly ball to center leading off the fourth.The two-base error led to two unearned runs. Angel Pagan drove in Theriot with a single and scored on Cabrera's double, making it 4-0 and chasing Moyer, who tipped his cap to the crowd of 25,860 as he left."When you have easy outs to take, you have to take them," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "Asking Jamie Moyer to get four outs in an inning ... it's going to cost you.""During the course of the season, we'll probably see a dozen catches that he'll make that will save runs and save games," Tracy added. "He made a mistake. Obviously, it was a fairly costly mistake. But we move on."Moyer sure has."I focus on what I need to do and I feel as long as my teammates are giving the best effort, I really can't complain. And I feel like they're giving a great effort," Moyer said.The oldest pitcher ever to win a game in the majors was Jack Quinn of the Brooklyn Dodgers on Sept. 13, 1932, when he was 49 years, 70 days old. Moyer was 49 years, 146 days old on Thursday.Aside from the two unearned runs he surrendered, Moyer gave up Brett Pill's bloop RBI single in the third and Cabrera's seeing-eye single up the middle in the fourth."It's incredible when you're looking out there and seeing a 49-year-old man competing in the big leagues," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who played against Moyer in the 1980s. "When they're taking the field, he's the first one on the mound, waiting for the catcher. He's the first one. He just keeps going."He pitched well. We had a couple of breaks with some cheap hits there, but you take them."Game notes
Giants C Buster Posey made his first start since coming down with shingles on Sunday night. ... On Friday, Rockies RHP Juan Nicasio (0-0) makes his first start at Coors Field since Aug. 5, when a line drive off the bat of Washington's Ian Desmond left him with a fractured skull and broken neck. He'll face Arizona's Daniel Hudson (1-0).

Lanvin Resort 2013 Pictures
Lanvin Resort 2013
Pajamas and athletic gear informed Alber Elbaz as he was designing his Resort 2013 collection for Lanvin — but that doesn't mean his offering this season is any less luxurious than it ever has been. Instead of making garments that simply look casual, Elbaz said he wanted to create clothing that was "as easy to wear as a tracksuit." He achieved this by taking technical fabrics — like parachute silk and materials normally reserved to make bras and space blankets — and forming them into floral print jackets, voluminous skirts and coats, and more than one deconstructed dress cinched at the waist with elastic. Elbaz also placed a new emphasis on handbags, which are shown with many looks in the collection. "I heard that bags are very important in fashion," he said.

Top 5 Worst People at a Heavy Metal Show
4. The Hardware Store
Though less prominent in today's metal scene, the leather warrior aesthetic still pops up from time to time because metal fans love to live in the past. And the past is really the only time where you still have a shot of picking up a dude or lady while wearing a gauntlet festooned with spikes. We applaud you, because we know it does take some level of dedication to look like an extra from Mad Max (that shit ain't cheap). But if you accidentally bump into my ribs one more time with whatever bit hardware you've wrapped around your wrists, I'm going to eat your lungs Big Lurch style.

5. The Stage Potato
Alright, you successfully crowd-surfed your way to the stage and are standing next to your favorite metal band. You're in their element, a part of the magic, and you're now so overcome with excitement that all you can do is stand there and throw up the horns while looking back to the audience for encouragement. We're all very happy for you and your moment, but could you please hurry up and get off the fucking stage before the venue's minions are forced to do it for you? You're a boner kill and you're breaking the fourth wall.

We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show some of its properties. The main result is a complete formula for the homology of a finite distributive lattice. We also indicate the answer for unital spindles and conjecture the general formula for semi-lattices and some skew lattices. Then we propose a generalization of a lattice as a set with a number of idempotent operations satisfying the absorption law.

The paper is dedicated to Paweł Waszkiewicz (1973–2011), who was a faculty member of Theoretical Computer Science at Jagiellonian University in Krakow. He obtained PhD at the University of Birmingham, UK, in 2002 in the theory of domains and formal languages. Although his career has been ceased in a tragic manner 9 years later, he had already published 21 papers. The second author is indebted to him for being introduced to the fascinating world of categories, posets and domains.

Hammersmith is a district in west London, England, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, approximately five miles (eight kilometres) west of Charing Cross on the north bank of the River Thames. One of west London's key transport hubs and commercial and employment centres, and home to several multinational company offices, it is focused on the two London Underground stations, bus station and road network node at Hammersmith Broadway. It is bordered by Shepherds Bush to the north, Kensington to the east, Fulham to the south and Chiswick to the west, and is linked by Hammersmith Bridge to Barnes in the southwest. It has for some decades been the main centre of London's Polish minority. [edit] Research Tips


text: And the smear machine is already in full motion on Matthew Dowd, the creator of "Flip-flop"...is this Neoconservative backlash ironic or what? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/01/w...ted=print&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin AUSTIN, Tex., March 29 — In 1999, Matthew Dowd became a symbol of George W. Bush's early success at positioning himself as a Republican with Democratic appeal. A top strategist for the Texas Democrats who was disappointed by the Bill Clinton years, Mr. Dowd was impressed by the pledge of Mr. Bush, then governor of Texas, to bring a spirit of cooperation to Washington. He switched parties, joined Mr. Bush's political brain trust and dedicated the next six years to getting him to the Oval Office and keeping him there. In 2004, he was appointed the president's chief campaign strategist. Looking back, Mr. Dowd now says his faith in Mr. Bush was misplaced. In a wide-ranging interview here, Mr. Dowd called for a withdrawal from Iraq and expressed his disappointment in Mr. Bush's leadership. He criticized the president as failing to call the nation to a shared sense of sacrifice at a time of war, failing to reach across the political divide to build consensus and ignoring the will of the people on Iraq. He said he believed the president had not moved aggressively enough to hold anyone accountable for the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and that Mr. Bush still approached governing with a "my way or the highway" mentality reinforced by a shrinking circle of trusted aides. "I really like him, which is probably why I'm so disappointed in things," he said. He added, "I think he's become more, in my view, secluded and bubbled in."

I love the packaging of this. It feels really nice in your hands and has a small mirror inside the compact. However, it doesn't include a brush. The color looks bright in the palette, but the color payoff on your skin isn't exactly the same vibrant shade of pink. It's a little but subtler, which is okay. It's a nice, every day blush.
This is not my everyday blush BUT it is my go to blush when wanting a real pop of color on my cheeks. I give it an A+ for pigmentation. And its definitely not one of those drugstore blushes that applies all cakey, chalky, streaky, and overall looks cheap. Ive used Chanel and Mac blushes in my past and this is still one of my favorite blushes.
*I recommend using E.L.F's complexion brush w/ this...they work amazing together :-)

Gotta love Makeup alley for leading me to another product that I would have otherwise NEVER picked up! It is a crazy bright barbie doll pink but this blush gives my cheeks a perfect matte pink flush (I'm an NC30 for reference). As others said, it applies with much less intensity than how it appears in the pan. So excited to find this. I highly recommend. Thank you makeup alley!!!
This blush is unbelievable. I love it. It's pigmented, a perfectly neutral bright pink(in my opinion) so not too warm and not too blue/cool, and bright as heck but not so bright that you can't wear it as a subtle pop of color. It's in that perfect zone of pigmentation that is strong but within the realm of realistic and flattering on if applied with a light hand and blended well. I have very fair skin and I can wear this any time. The packaging is decent, too - it looks sleek and doesn't feel quite as inexpensive as it is!! I find it very similar to Smashbox's "Radiance" blush.

This is my first time trying elf studio blush and I chose Pink Passion because of the bright pink color really caught my eyes. It might look a little scary before you try it, but after you put it on, it doesn't come out as crazy as the color you see. It gives a beautiful flush of color like you just went out in the cold winter snow. I really recommended this one, especially for people who has medium to dark skin tone.
I absolutely love this product! It is seriously holy grail material to me. I know people talk about it being chalky and powdery, but I definitely do not have those problems. It does have some fallout, but it depends what kind of brush you use. I use a dense blush brush and have no problems with fallout. The color honestly last me all through the day. I go to school and have personal fitness, where I sweat like crazy. We run bleachers and I still have this blush on at the end of the day. The color goes so well with my medium skin tone and it can be built up for a more intense pink. It's so bright and gorgeous that I couldn't go without it.
There is NO WAY IN HELL THIS IS EVEN CLOSE TO BOBBI BROWN'S PALE PINK! I have pale pink and it's ridiculous how anyone could even fathom comparing the two! Just because it's bright in the pan alike- doesn't mean it's comaprable or a dupe! Wow, first of all you get what you pay for- this blush in any color is CHALKY as hell..I mean really???
Pure rubbish. If you want cheap, stick to something like Revlon or Maybelline!
The FALLOUT is like crazy! Pigmentation sandy not smooth. I absolutely HATE this product.
Tried to give this away but just threw it in the trash. Waste of a dollar- seriously the plastic container it's in is worth more than this rubbish!

This is a lovely blush, and slightly more yellow toned version of Nars Gaiety. If you're not comfortable spending over $20 on Gaiety or you're worried you wouldn't like it or get the use out of it, I recommend this. It'll still give you that pop of bright pink that you'll want in a more comfortable expendable price range. Also, Gaiety can come across as extremely chalky on deeper skin tones due to it's paleness, I find this to be more flattering due to the yellow in it and not nearly as chalky in appearance when applied.
This is by far the best blush! The first time i used it i kinda looked like a clown. Lol a little goes a long way light skinned girls. The best way to apply this is with a stipple brush or powder brush. I use lancome brushes (:

This is a gorgeous pink blush. For the longest time I thought I could never wear bubblegum pink blushes, but after a brave try with this, I was in love. I wore this blush nonstop for almost a month because this is everything I was from a blush-- natural healthy pink flush that instantly brightens my face. It is a gorgeous matte bubblegum pink that honestly looks neither cool nor warm, so anyone can really pull this off. And the the price, one could never go wrong. Good job ELF! :)

San Antonio, TX United States
Nationwide Insurance opened a $90-million campus in Westover Hills, Texas. The company's new building earned a first-ever FORTIFIED for Safer Business designation from the Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) for its ability to withstand natural disasters, such as tornados and windstorms.
To optimize the building's picturesque location in the Texas Hill country, the design team – 360 Architects and SpawGlass – sought to balance views with visual comfort and productivity. Daylighting and shading solutions – including RB 500 motorized roller shades with 3% and 5% openness fabrics – became a key component in the success of the building.
The clients wanted the building's design to be energy efficient and eligible for LEED certification. This required solar control systems that would moderate the heat of San Antonio summers, while maximizing views to the outside. The final approach needed to include motorized systems to integrate with the building's lighting and HVAC systems. And of course, the specified solutions had to fall within the project's budget.
360 Architects incorporated daylighting strategies into the early stages of their design and planning. The architects selected the RB 500 roller shade operating system with Whisper Motors™ because of its durability and ability to integrate easily with other building systems. The technology also provides the system with over 46,000 unique command capabilities. This ultimately means a virtually unlimited level of control for the owners and facility managers. Acoustics were also a factor. The system operates with Whisper RQ motors that can lift larger shades while operating at a quieter sound levels, in line with normal office conversations.
The motors' powerful torque also helped reduce the project cost. One motor can operate up to six panels of fabric with an overall width of 30 feet. That high performance allows designers and architects to save resources on motorization and to reduce the cost of the overall system.
For integrated control, RB 500 roller shades were linked into a Siemens BACnet building management system. This system in turn connected to HVAC systems and Crestron light controls. As the amount of natural light entering the building changes, the system adjusts accordingly. Roller shades are raised or lowered, interior lighting brightens or dims and the AC system powers up or down.
San Antonio's climate influenced the choice of roller shade fabrics with different levels of openness to maximize the building's energy efficiency. The Nationwide datacenter features fabrics with 3% openness to the East and West, where the most amount of sunlight strikes the building, and 5% openness to the North and South. The 3% fabric will block 97% of ultraviolet radiation entering the interior. A dark color fabric was selected to reduce glare and preserve views to the outside, while allowing subtle but natural light to enter the workspace.
The RB 500™ Roller Shade Operating System features sleek design, smooth operation and unrivaled inner strength. A versatile modular operating system accommodates chain, crank and motorized applications. Hunter Douglas designed the system to ensure easy installation, safe operation, and long product life.
Key Features:
Heavy-duty metal clutch provides smooth and easy lift capabilities.
Over 200 FR fabrics, including E Screen with KoolBlack™ Technology, and Cradle to Cradle Certified GreenScreen® Revive™.
Modular operating system accommodates chain, crank and motorized applications.
Universal spring-loaded end plug mounts shades securely and provides for smooth and easy installation.
Counter balance weight system provides for ease of lifting roller shades over large expanses.
Whisper Motors™ bring quiet power, versatile controls, and reliability to Hunter Douglas Contract's comprehensive selection of energy-efficient roller shades. Whisper RQ motors allow for intermediate stops, group control and timer controls that can send status reports to update shade positioning for ultimate precision. A versatile, new control allows the shades to integrate with any other automated and/or building management systems, making it ideal for both new construction and retrofits.
Offering powerful, whisper-quiet operation, Hunter Douglas' motorized shades bring the ease of use and reliability that has garnered international respect for the brand. The operating system uses Whisper HDC 100S and 100RQ motors for 156" wide shades and Whisper HDC 200S and 200RQ motors for heavy-duty, up to 240" wide shades. The motors allow for intermediate stops, group control and timer controls that can send status reports to update shade positioning for ultimate precision. A versatile, new control allows the shades to integrate with any other automated and/or building management systems, making it ideal for both new construction and retrofits.
Quiet Operation: The motors are tested to operate below the level of quiet office conversation.
Power: Standard motors can operate shades up to 240" wide and 144" in height. Solutions for larger shades are also available.
Versatility: The motors were designed with best-in-class control boards that integrate with a wide range of other systems via dry contact, serial, or other protocols.
Convenience: Motorized shades are easy to operate. It is possible to open or close multiple shades with the touch of a switch, or the click of a mouse.
Automation: Research shows that automated sun-tracking shades enable energy savings from lighting and HVAC systems by maximizing control of glare and solar heat gain.
Oversize Shades: Motorized systems are a good option for shading large windows, as the weight of an oversized shade can make it hard to operate.
Design Customization: Hundreds of fabric options are available for motorized roller shades, in addition to aluminum horizontal blinds, Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Silhouette® and Vignette® shadings, which all allow for light and glare management.
