Alphonse Pinart
|Alphonse Pinart
Boisdinghem, Marquise, Pas-de-Calais
|February 13, 1911
|Zelia Nuttall
Alphonse Pinart (1852–1911) was a French explorer, philologist, and ethnographer. He was an early champion of the theory that the Americas were first populated by migration across the Bering Strait. To support his research, he made extensive travel in the Pacific, from Alaska and the Aleutian Islands[1][2] to Easter Island. He also pilfered numerous historical documents from the Spanish archives in Santa Fe, New Mexico:[3]
Large numbers of documents of this period [from 1743 to 1749] were . . . stolen and are now in the so-called "Pinart" collection. Pinart (Alphonse) was a Frenchman and visited New Mexico and Arizona in the early 'seventies [1870's], at which time this "collection" was made.
Alternatively, he may have purchased the documents from someone at the archives. Twitchell was not in Santa Fe when this alleged theft took place, and Twitchell is described as "... the most prolific New Mexico historian of his period, although his works were often seen as biased." [4]
He recorded vocabularies of the Mission Indians in California, and also documented early rock art in Aruba. In 1875, he purchased a crystal skull and other ethnographic artifacts from Eugène Boban, which was later donated to the Trocadéro Museum.[5]

Perfect Balance 2 is a physics puzzle game that is about rotating and stacking pieces of various geometric shapes and Tetris shapes so that they don't fall down below. This is the sequel to Perfect Balance.
The game is about stacking pieces of various shapes. On each level, there are static geometric shapes and the player is given pieces that needs to be stacked on top of the existing structures. The goal on each level is to stack the shapes so that they don't fall down. All pieces can be rotated and you may place them in any order. None of the pieces can rock back and forth as they need to be perfectly balanced in order to beat the level. The game has 5 level sets with 20 levels in each set. Scoring is dictated by a subtracting counter, so the faster you do the puzzle, the more points you receive.
After you complete a level, you can gain bonus points. Once all the pieces are balanced, the game hands you nine diamonds to add to your structure. For each diamond you manage to balance, you receive a score bonus and there are extra bonus points if you use all nine. You can submit your total score or the total amount of diamonds you've managed to add to your structures.

When it comes to dismissing employees based on age, the Labour Relations Act (LRA) is very clear:
Unless an age-based dismissal is a result of your employee reaching the 'the normal or agreed retirement age for persons employed in that capacity', age-based dismissals are unfair.
But what exactly does normal retirement age mean?
'The word 'normal' isn't defined in the LRA, but the Labour Appeal Court has found that 'normal' means something which accords with a norm (or the way something is usually done),' explains the experts at The Labour Law for Managers Loose Leaf Service.
Essentially, that means retirement age becomes 'normal' when employees in your company have been retiring at that age over a period of time long enough that it can be said to be the norm.
While that's all good and well, it's best you agree a normal retirement age with your employees to avoid being hit with a discrimination case at the CCMA.
How to get your employees to agree to your company's retirement age in writing
'The best place to record an agreed retirement age is in the employment contract or letter of appointment that you issue at the start of the employment relationship,' advises employment lawyer Stuart Harrison in The Labour Law for Managers Loose Leaf Service.. Getting your employee to sign this is the easiest way to prove they agreed to the retirement age if they try and contest your ruling later on.
If, on the other hand, your employment contract doesn't stipulate a retirement age, put together a retirement policy document that stipulates your company's retirement age.
And be warned says Harrison: 'Before assuming there's a normal retirement age for a particular employee, check your records to see how many employees in the same category have retired at that age and over what period of time. You can only safely assume there's a normal retirement age if there have been numerous retirements at the same age by employees in the same category and over a lengthy period of time.'
If you don't check this, you could land your company in big trouble with the CCMA if your employee sees your request for retirement as an age-based dismissal.

Our delegations to Colombia have helped free political prisoner and expose prison conditions and the role of the US Bureau of Prisons in their creation. In Honduras AfGJ delegations have stopped an illegal eviction of a peasant cooperative in Rigores, accompanied cooperatives under threat of violence in the Aguan Valley, and exposed fraud in the presidential election. AfGJ delegations to Nicaragua and Venezuela have exposed participants to successful poverty reduction and participatory democracy projects that have transformed those countries and would transform our own.
Nothing promotes peaceful relations more than getting to know the people and culture of another country. Nothing beats witnessing for ourselves the reality of another country to expose the lies of our government and corporate media. Nothing inspires us more to change our own country than to laugh and cry, eat and play, with people who pay the price for the corporate greed and violence created by the US Empire and our own consumerism.

text: Losing a document, spreadsheet or photograph is a fairly common event in just about every computer user's experience. There are several causes for data to go missing: · Erroneous deletion makes some files inaccessible. Yes, it happens to all of us. You thought you did not need the file anymore only to find out otherwise. · Similarly, when someone works while tired or worn out, he or she makes a mistake and accidentally deletes an important file through the trash or recycle bin · The user formats a drive or media card before backing up or downloading the files. This is a common occurrence with cameras and MP3 players. · Sometimes an external drive will not mount, making the data inaccessible. These scenarios, as well as others, can often be remedied with a software-based solution. Expert data recovery Macintosh specialists often instruct clients to try a software fix before more expensive recovery procedures. An external hard drive may show up in Disk Utility on a Mac computer, but may not be able to mount properly. You can see the drive, but not access it. System repairs might fix the problem. However, the repairs may overwrite the files you need to retrieve. A hard drive data recovery Mac specialist will tell you that data recovery comes before disk repair. Data Rescue 3 LE, a top grossing recovery utility in the App Store, recovers deleted files from external drives. Additionally, it recovers files from external drives that will not mount, even though they show up in Disk Utility. Prosoft Engineering, a leading developer of Mac recovery and disk maintenance software, developed Data Rescue 3 LE.

When we go on holiday we understandably focus on enjoying ourselves. But when travelling to a new place it's worth remembering that you are unaccustomed to the food, the water, the climate and the lifestyle and this may make make you more vulnerable to illnesses than you would otherwise be at home.
But there are some simple precautions you can take to help ensure your holiday is a healthy, happy and enjoyable one. We'll be taking you through some of the most common illnesses that affect tourists and providing information on how to avoid and treat them. (AllClear always recommends you contact your GP or medical practitioner for any personal medical advice.)
Food poisoning
Symptoms and causes of food poisoning:
How to avoid food poisoning:
Many cases of food poisoning abroad are from all inclusive buffets. Ensure hot food is piping hot and chilled food is properly chilled and each dish has its own serving spoon. You might want to avoid buying meat from street stalls.
How to treat:
If you believe you have contracted food poisoning you should get medical advice. For information on falling sick abroad please visit the NHS healthcare abroad advice page.
The flu
Cause and symptoms of the flu:
When you travel to a new place you are more susceptible to the local strains of bacterial or viral infections such as flu. Symptoms include fever or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue (tiredness).
How to avoid the flu:
Eat well and stay rested to keep your immunity up and wash your hands often.
How to treat:
Pack paracetamol and ibuprofen in your luggage (subject to airline restrictions) to ease fever, body aches, or other flu-like symptoms. Try to rest and get plenty of fluids. Seek medical attention if needed.
Legionnaires' disease
Cause and symptoms of Legionnaires' disease:
Legionnaires' disease is a respiratory infection that can be a problem on cruise ships or in hotels; it is transmitted by aerosolised air via air conditioning systems. Symptoms include: fever, chills, coughing, muscle aches, headache, tiredness, loss of appetite, loss of coordination, chest pain, or diarrhoea and vomiting, confusion and impaired cognition. (Source: Wikipedia).
How to avoid Legionnaires' disease:
You can avoid Legionnaires' disease by ensuring that any water systems in buildings or ships you are staying in are properly maintained and that no recent cases of Legionnaires' disease have been reported.
How to treat:
Legionnaires' disease is treated with antibiotics; if you are worried about Legionnaires' disease you should seek medical advice.
Heat exhaustion
Cause and symptoms of heat exhaustion:
Sun bathing or lying in the sun is big part of many of our holidays abroad, but too much exposure to direct sunlight can result in heat exhaustion. Symptoms include tiredness and weakness, feeling faint or dizzy, a decrease in blood pressure, a headache, muscle cramps, feeling and being sick, heavy sweating, intense thirst, a fast pulse, urinating less often and having much darker urine than usual. If left untreated, more severe symptoms of heatstroke can develop, including confusion, disorientation, seizures (fits) and a loss of consciousness.
How to avoid heat exhaustion:
How to treat:
For more information view the NHS heat exhaustion and heat stroke page.
Cause and symptoms of traveller's diarrhoea:
Travellers' diarrhoea is one of the most common illnesses in people who travel internationally, and depending on destination affects 20-60% of the more than 800 million travellers each year. In most cases the diarrhoea occurs in people who travel to areas with poor food and water hygiene.
How to avoid traveller's diarrhoea:
Boil your water or drink only bottled water in countries with poor water sanitation, this includes avoiding ice cubes in your drink! Also follow all the precautions outlined to avoid food poisoning (see above), and wash your hands regularly.
How to treat:
For more information visit Everyday Health.
Insect bites
Cause and symptoms of insect bites:
If you're travelling to a hot country, particularly one with a tropical climate then you may find insect bites are something you need to take precautions against. Insect bites, although for the most part harmless, can cause irritation of the skin and in some cases an allergic reaction or infection.
How to avoid insect bites:
How to treat:
For more information visit NHS guide to treating bites and stings.
Ear infection
Cause and symptoms of an ear infection:
Ear infections are a common holiday complaint. It's can be caused by repeated exposure to water when swimming. Symptoms include ear pain, fever, yellow or bloody drainage from the ear, loss of appetite, vomiting, and trouble sleeping.
How to avoid an ear infection:
Wear a swimming cap or ear plugs and thoroughly dry your ears after swimming.
How to treat:
For more information visit The Mirror's travel bug page.
Cause and symptoms of constipation:
On holiday many people's diet and exercise regime take a back seat. This can mean a lack of fibre and insufficient gut movement leading to constipation.
How to avoid constipation:
Choose fibre-rich food – such as fruit and veg and wholegrain bread – drink plenty of water and keep active.
How to treat:
Over the counter laxative medication is available to help ease the symptoms of constipation.
Alcohol poisoning
Cause and symptoms of alcohol poisoning:
On holiday you want to let your hair down but too much alcohol, coupled with heat and exertion which could dehydrate you, can lead to a dangerous level of alcohol in your blood stream resulting in alcohol poisoning.
How to avoid alcohol poisoning:
Drink responsibly and stay hydrated.
How to treat:
For more information visit Drink Aware.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Cause and symptoms of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT):
These are blood clots that form in leg veins that can dislodge and travel to the heart or lungs. Symptoms include leg pain, numbness, redness, itching, rash, shortness of breath, and ulceration of the skin. DVTs are more likely when travelling from a hot climate, as dehydration leads to the blood clotting more readily. Pregnant women, overweight people, the elderly, smokers, and women taking the Pill or on HRT are most at risk.
How to avoid a DVT:
If you are at risk of getting a DVT or have had a DVT previously, consult your GP before embarking on long-distance travel. If you are planning a long-distance plane, train or car journey (journeys of six hours or more), ensure that you:
How to treat:
If you have the symptoms of Deep Vein Thrombosis seek medical attention. For further information on the treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis visit the NHS DVT treatment page. For information on travelling with DVT visit our DVT factfile page.
We hope this information helps to keep you healthy and happy on holiday. Also don't forget to make sure you have comprehensive travel insurance, to be sure you're prepared for any eventuality if you do become ill.
If you have a pre-existing medical condition you can view our factfiles through our Guide on medical travel insurance.

With the help of a suitable track and dispatch service, you can assign the most appropriate person to a particular task at the correct time…
For any company that has to deal with physical delivery of goods or services, prompt dispatch of field service personnel in response to customer requests is a critical business process. As a result of escalating fuel and manpower costs, companies are increasingly forced to look into means to optimize their dispatch processes. Track and dispatch systems have been developed mainly to help improve efficiency and reduce the cost of goods and services delivery.
Tracking only requires the location of a person to be constantly sent to a back-end application and it is a one-way process. Dispatch is more complex because it generally requires a two-way communication between the field personnel and a back-room operator. A track and dispatch solution is an integrated system designed to streamline location-based dispatch in a timely and systematic manner primarily by leveraging on the knowledge of the current location of each field service personnel and the ability to communicate with them.
There are two types of track and dispatch solutions in general: Enterprise system and web-based service. Enterprise systems are traditional solutions and highly customized to the needs of a specific company. They are usually owned and operated in-house by the company. Early adopters of enterprise systems are those whose business competes solely on how well they perform in delivering goods or services. Enterprise system demands a heavy capital investment for software customization, server hardware, specialized MDT (mobile data terminal) and on-going support and maintenance. Therefore, it is usually afforded only by large businesses dealing with high value goods, complex dispatch procedures and zeal in keeping all data in-house.
Web-based services are emerging solutions made possible by the advancement in Internet technologies such as cloud-platform. They are cost effective with low or zero upfront investment. They are usually subscription-based and easy to use, making them accessible to companies of all sizes. Their main trade-off is that complex logics for dispatch that require customization may not be supported.
Nowadays, smart phones and tablets with GPS installed are commonly available at affordable costs. These mobile devices are more than capable of supporting the client software for track and dispatch service. This drastically reduces the real cost of using web-based services making them suitable even for companies dealing with goods of low values. So, any company which does not specialise in delivery but needs an optimised dispatch process at a reduced cost should opt for a web-based service.
Besides businesses, non-profit organizations and even individuals can benefit from web-based track and dispatch services. For example, an institute may use it to track and communicate with groups who are on expeditions or students on excursions.
There are innumerable benefits of track and dispatch solutions such as:
The main features of a track and dispatch service include:
In summary, with the help of a suitable track and dispatch service, you can assign the most appropriate person to a particular task at the correct time with immense precision. This optimizes the overall dispatch processes of your company.

It's easy to envision ruins as some stodgy, dusty artifact — a pile of collapsed Doric columns, a field of mold-encrusted tombs, or an overgrown garden having swallowed its attendant manor house eons before. These ruins are perhaps far more surprising to the motley that finds them: it's the wreckage of a 10-car locomotive. The icy steel tracks fade off into the snow (for the locomotive sits mostly buried beneath wind-swept winter), and the blocky beast of a train sits kinked up like a zig-zagged garden house.
It's not a train from the material world, to be sure — close examination shows that despite being forged of steel this is a thing forged purely of Hedge-stuffs. The windows are made of prismatic crystal (once beautiful, now cracked and shattered). The sleeper cars are each home to a gilded cage, in which one finds the two-headed skeleton of some parrot-sized bird (whose purpose has long been lost). The art deco bar is stocked with bottles of alcohol nobody from the "real world" would ever recognize (Fishtail Ale? Cobbler's Ink Liquor? Blue Arsenical?). The seats are most telling, most still home to the original passengers — all dead, just skeletons slowly moldering, slumped forward or backward in their chairs. Most are hobs: misshapen skulls, many limbs, some not humanoid at all but just a nest of tiny bones.
- Changelings who sleep inside the Black Loco find that their Oneiromancy is greatly improved — any dream-related rolls made gain +3 dice. Also, Storytellers should consider the possibility that changelings might be able to get the locomotive running again. It's a steam engine, fueled by coal. Repairing it necessitates a Repair Item roll, but on the extended roll a character will need a number of successes equal to the train's Structure, which is a whopping 50, and in addition, each roll now equals one hour of time. Fixing the train shouldn't be distilled down only to this system, though — it should be punctuated with roleplaying and conflict opportunities that threaten the project. Remember: the Hedge is never truly safe.

ALIVE INSIDE (All-In-One) HEADPHONE INSTRUCTIONS:
These headphones allow you to play MP3 or WAV music stored on a microSD card that is contained inside the Headphones.
They are light, high quality and inexpensive. Michael Rossato-Bennett created them so two people could listen to music at the same time. He wanted something that could be used for our educational courses, and be so inexpensive anyone could afford to give them to an elder in need.
Step 1- To Charge headphones- plug into computer USB port or wall-wart- When charged, Light goes off.
Step 2- To create a playlist for your elder try using the The Alive Inside App - www.AIFapp.com.
Step 3- To load music onto the headphones from your personal computer- (View this Fan Made Tutorial!)
- Plug the headphones into your computer USB port and turn the headset ON.
- The SD card will appear in your computer as a drive- (NO NAME).
- Or Load using a card reader (this can be much faster)
- If the Headphones are not being recognized by your computer try to switch the USB port or use a card reader. This fixes the non- recognition problem.
- Load files to SD card with iTunes (must be MP3), or from computer, or use KeepVid Music
- If microSD card with music is inserted - and POWER is switched ON, the music will play in order.
- Arrows --> allow you to skip songs,
- + & - raises or lowers volume.
The Alive Inside Splitter was developed to make music finding and listening a SHARED experience.
Plug the Splitter into your Smartphone and use the Alive Inside App and headphones at the same time.
"Making "Alive Inside," fed my soul. When I asked middle school kids to bring music and life to the elders what happened surprised me. I saw young souls fill with purpose. I saw youth exhibit skills no one thought they had. I was filled with hope- creating Empathy in our next generation, and aliveness in the last became my mission. Music and Human Connection, can lead us to safety!
Join us! Lets help our youth, millions of elders living at home with Alzheimer's and ourselves! We are all part of this Awakening of Life!"
Michael Rossato-Bennett
Director of "Alive Inside" & The Alive Inside Foundation

There was this girl I liked and thought she felt the same but was not sure because she played a lot of games.
So I asked her straight up if she liked me. Well I learned to never do that again. She denied it and got really nervous but I did learn she had a boyfriend.
Nonetheless, I decided to leave her alone. Why chase a girl who is not interested I thought, esp since there is more girls out there.
However, after this incident occurred. She went on to brag about her boyfriend, how great he is and good looking. Every time even to this day she proceeds to engage in this talk when we are around a group of mutual friends.
Now, whenever I happen to glance at her non intentionally, she quickly looks away and down at the ground in front of her.
Yesterday, she saw me and walked so fast to get by me, I did not even notice her until she bolted by me. It was like when a person is scared of bug or something, it was strange. Sometimes she even seems angry when she see's me.
I get she don't like me and I'm fine with that. What more do I need to do with this situation? We don't talk, I'm not stalking her, I barely look at her.
I don't get it!
Most Helpful Girl
Wow, dude. She does like you and you through her off when you asked her. Which is why she constantly mentions her boyfriend, she is trying to cover her tracks. And she is pissed at herself for liking you when she has a boyfriend and also because she wishes things were simpler and you would make a move. Don't make a move, don't be that guy. This is something she has to figure out herself.10|10|0
Nah, I'm certain she don't like me, her actions prove it. I just don't get why this girl has to prove she hates my guts.
If you are certain then somehow you two need to reach an agreement to stay out of each others way. Or you could just get a girlfriend.
Now I'm even more confused.

Part of her financial plan was to refinance the mortgage on her Pine home -- something that should have been painless for Ms. Neals, an attorney and wealth adviser whose employer provided paid maternity leave.
Instead, she spent her leave dealing with paperwork demands and rejections from
"I spent the entire time trying to get this loan closed," Ms. Neals said. "They were insisting that I couldn't unless I physically went back to work."
Ms. Neals is married but was the sole applicant for her mortgage.
Her resulting two-year legal struggle ended Thursday, when U.S. Magistrate Judge
"It's extremely significant," said
Mortgage Guaranty argued unsuccessfully in court pleadings that it had tried to finalize the loan, but Ms. Neals nixed it.
Ms. Neals, 34, said she could have just closed the loan after returning to work, but sued because she was "driven by what they took away from me.
"I felt like I had worked so hard to orchestrate a really good maternity leave where I could spend time with my baby and have peace of mind," she said. "There's just nothing like being at home with a newborn baby. And they just took that away from me."
She complained to the
"As part of the settlement, MGIC did not admit fault,"
Still, Mortgage Guaranty is paying as much as

Ms. Neals said she's cautiously optimistic that the company is no longer considering maternity status in its mortgage insurance decisions.
Companies have never tried to make a business case for withholding loans from pregnant women, said Ms. Smith. That's because there's no reason to believe that new parents are bad risks.
"In this situation, is a single mom going to [sign a loan and then] say, well, I have no place for me and my child to live?" she asked. "Is a couple going to say, oh, we're going to live here for three months, and then we won't be able to make our mortgage payments?"
Despite the lack of justification, the practice of factoring maternity leave into mortgage decisions has been hard to stamp out, said Ms. Smith. She said lawyers and advocates have been fighting mortgage firms on the issue since 1998, when a

Women drive increase in Democratic support for legal abortion
Public support for legal abortion, while little changed from earlier this year, is as high as it has been in two decades. And the share of Democrats saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases has risen since earlier this year – primarily driven by a striking rise in support among Democratic women.
A majority of the public says abortion should be legal in all or most cases (59%), while 37% say abortion should be illegal in at least most cases, according to a Pew Research Center survey released last week. Support for legal abortion has fluctuated in recent years, but is at its highest level since 1995.
Most Republicans continue to be opposed to legal abortion, and their views have remained relatively stable in recent years. Currently, 62% of Republicans say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, while 34% think it should be legal in at least most cases.
However, the share of Democrats who favor legal abortion has risen 9 percentage points since March, from 70% to 79%. Just 18% of Democrats now say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. The partisan gap in support for legal abortion, 45 percentage points, is at its widest point in close to a decade.
This shift in Democratic support is especially pronounced among women. Currently, 85% of Democratic women think abortion should be legal in all or most cases, up 18 points from March. This is the highest level of support for legal abortion among Democratic women in the past two decades.
By comparison, 71% of Democratic men say abortion should legal in at least most cases, little changed from March (75%).
There are no similar divisions by gender among Republicans. Currently, 36% of Republican men and 32% of Republican women think abortion should be legal in at least most cases. For the most part, there have been only slight gender differences in Republican opinion about abortion over the past decade.

These women should support the idea of having abortions legalized because majority of them are sexual abused and raped so even though doctors now have issues prescribing for abortion pills and that Healthcare providers who want to perform abortions with Mifeprex must be specially certified, the the drug should be allowed to be bought at the chemist.

When Ms. Erykah Badu speaks generally you listen. The Twitterverse was all ears when the 43-year-old singer decided to "reluctantly" tweet some of her secret sex and health tips.
"Ladies..For a SWEET vagina I Drink raw cranberries often. Now the secrets out. (Reluctantly)...ALSO promotes healthy,strong WOMB &bladder," Badu tweeted to her more than 1 million followers.
Continuing her wealth of knowledge sharing, Badu also left a few tips for the fellas.
"IMPORTANT Note to MEN: Women really don't dig guys who give it up too easy. Respect yourself. Make us wait. :-b."
While Badu's advice was certainly fascinating, just how much of what she said is accurate?
Turns out, the singer is onto something.
While the jury is still out on whether or not cranberries will make your vagina "sweet" (generally online bloggers agree), they do play a major role in the overall health of the female anatomy. In fact, cranberries (unsweetened) have been shown to reduce the risk of a urinary tract infection. Cranberry juice can also (along with yogurt) potentially help prevent yeast infections and aid in their treatment.
As for whether women who prefer their men to wait it out a little longer before "giving up," we'll leave that up to one's discretion.

With the statue of David never without a crowd of worshipers at the Galleria dell'Accademia, it could be said that every year is a Michelangelo year in Florence. But thanks to three exhibitions here this summer, il Divino, as Michelangelo is known to Italian devotees, seems more present than ever. In spirit at least. In reality, taken together, the three shows display fewer than a score of drawings and only a handful of sculptures that are confidently attributed to him.
The point, however, appears to be that Michelangelo transmogrified the art of his times, both through his reinterpretation of male and female beauty and through the influence of his architecture, sculpture, painting and drawing on successive generations.
That is the thrust of ''The Shadow of Genius: Michelangelo and Florentine Art From 1537 to 1631,'' the large show at the Palazzo Strozzi through Sept. 29. Its focus is very much on the ''shadow.''
Two smaller exhibitions come closer to the artist himself and, above all, to his competing visions of physical and emotional attachment. ''Venus and Love: Michelangelo and the New Ideal of Beauty,'' at the Accademia through Nov. 3, explores heterosexual love, while ''The Myth of Ganymede: Before and After Michelangelo,'' at the Casa Buonarroti through Sept. 30, touches on Michelangelo's homosexuality and his infatuation with a young noble, Tommaso de' Cavalieri.
Both shows are built around specific works: Pontormo's painting of ''Venus and Cupid,'' based on a life-size -- but lost -- drawing by Michelangelo, at the Accademia; and Michelangelo's drawing of ''The Rape of Ganymede,'' which is on loan to the Casa Buonarroti from the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. Both works serve as departure points for reflections on Michelangelo's response to the human body.Continue reading the main story
''In the choice of myths, there is a sort of 'equal opportunity' (highly appropriate in these politically correct days) for homosexual love and heterosexual love,'' Antonio Paolucci, the superintendent of Florentine museums, writes in an introduction to the Accademia's catalog, ''idealized, idealized to the extreme, it must be said, both the one and the other.''
The sexual charge is strongest in ''The Rape of Ganymede,'' which Michelangelo gave to Tommaso de' Cavalieri in 1532 when he was just 12 and Michelangelo was 57. An undisguised allegory for the artist's passion for the boy, it portrays Zeus as an eagle kidnapping a beautiful young Trojan to become his cup bearer. In Michelangelo's rendering, while the eagle grips the boy's legs firmly with his talons, Ganymede's relaxed arms suggest he welcomes the abduction.
In ''The Punishment of Tityus,'' another mythological drawing given to Tommaso that is in the Casa Buonarroti show, Michelangelo seemingly implies that his love is accompanied by torment. Here the lustful Tityus is shown being punished by having a vulture devour his liver for eternity. Yet letters between Michelangelo and Tommaso hint at no particular anguish: in early-16th-century Florence, it seems, intimate relationships between men and boys were not uncommon.
The show, organized by Marcella Marongiu, concentrates on the myth of Ganymede because it has long caught the imagination of artists. It is portrayed in golden Greek earrings and a bronze Etruscan engraving from the third century B.C., as well as a Roman agate-and-onyx relief and a marble statue from the first century A.D. Revived in the Renaissance, the myth would have been familiar to educated Florentines. Michelangelo himself did a study for ''The Rape of Ganymede'' in 1502 and a different version in the late 1520's.
It is the drawing given to Tommaso, though, that inspired most copies. On display here are reproductions of the image in drawings, bronze reliefs, prints, ivory cameos and frescoes. In one bizarre instance, Battista Franco added the eagle carrying away Ganymede to a large painting of ''The Battle of Montemurlo.'' The date on this oil, 1537, indicates that, while the drawing was a personal gift to Tommaso, it quickly became familiar to a larger public.
At the Accademia, ''Venus and Cupid'' also comes with a story, that of the wealthy patron Bartolomeo Bettini, who in 1532 invited Michelangelo, Pontormo and Bronzino to decorate a room in his Florentine palace. Unusually, Pontormo, no mean artist in his own right, was willing to copy in oil the ''Venus and Cupid'' drawn by Michelangelo. The painting, which was then confiscated by Duke Alessandro de' Medici, is the only surviving testimony of the drawing.
Bettini also planned lunettes in his salon portraying major Tuscan love poets. Giorgio Vasari, the 16th-century painter and writer, said Bronzino completed those of Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, although only one of Dante, attributed to Bronzino, survives and is included in the show. This image, showing the poet in profile, was frequently copied, including by Vasari himself in his painting of ''Six Tuscan Poets,'' also on display here.
Few paintings, though, were more copied in the 16th century than ''Venus and Cupid,'' which contemporary poets described as ''designed by Michelangelo and colored by Pontormo.'' Records speak of 32 copies, with 16 extant and 2 in this show. Thanks to a restoration this year, the original ''Venus and Cupid'' can also be seen as it was painted, without the clothing that was later added to cover Venus's nakedness.
The exhibition, displayed in the Accademia on two sides of Michelangelo's ''David,'' goes beyond ''Venus and Cupid'' to study other examples of the artist's treatment of the reclining nude, through oil copies of his sculptures of ''Night'' and ''Dawn'' from the Medicis' tomb in the New Sacristy of the Church of San Lorenzo and through a full-size copy of his lost drawing, ''Leda,'' which shows the mother of Helen of Troy being seduced by Zeus in the guise of a swan.
These works in turn spotlight Michelangelo's representation of the naked female form. And here the exhibition's curators, Franca Falleti, director of the Accademia, and Jonathan Nelson, a professor of art history at Syracuse University in Florence, are eager to dispel the popular notion that Michelangelo's homosexuality meant his ignorance of women led him to portray them as muscular, masculine figures with breasts attached as afterthoughts.
Since it was customary at the time to work from life models, Mr. Nelson asks, ''Can we really believe that Michelangelo, the most famous artist of his day, had less access to female models than his contemporaries?'' Further, his anatomical sketches demonstrate that he could reproduce the human body to perfection. But as the subtitle of this show suggests, in his allegorical and biblical paintings, sculptures and drawings, Michelangelo was seeking a ''new ideal of beauty,'' one inspired by art rather than nature.
''Regardless of Michelangelo's personal views about women,'' Mr. Nelson notes in a catalog essay, ''he strove to create beautiful images of them, and his Tuscan contemporaries enthusiastically praised and commissioned copies of these figures.'' They were also defiantly different from those of the Venetian masters. Vasari said that after visiting Titian in his studio, Michelangelo remarked, ''It is a shame that in Venice they never learned to draw well from the beginning.''
The show at the Palazzo Strozzi, in contrast, is a celebration of the Florence that Michelangelo left behind when he moved to Rome in 1534. And it sets out to demonstrate how his influence on architecture, sculpture, drawing and even the decorative arts was felt in the city for the best part of a century. This exhibition will be at the Art Institute of Chicago from Nov. 9 to Feb. 2 and at the Detroit Institute of Art from March 16 to June 8.
Visitors drawn to the show only by Michelangelo's name, however, may be disappointed. From Michelangelo, it has just a half-dozen fine drawings, including ''Lamentation for a Dead Christ,'' and a splendid marble statue of ''Apollo/David.'' On the other hand, those seeking an exhibition that might better have been called ''Art in the Age of the Medicis'' will be delighted by a virtuoso display of the Mannerist art of High Renaissance Florence.
The first two sections, called ''The Living Legend'' and ''Father and Master of All,'' trumpet the Michelangelo connection and underline his influence over Pontormo, Bronzino, Vasari, Cellini, Baccio Bandinelli and Pierino da Vinci. And the case is well made through Bandinelli's bronze statue of ''Neptune,'' Cellini's bronze of ''Perseus and Medusa'' and da Vinci's marble statue of ''River God,'' on loan from the Louvre.
But while the riches of the show go on, Michelangelo's ''shadow'' seems to fade as successive Medici rulers of Florence express their wealth, power and patronage in everything from the fine arts to architecture, decorative and applied arts, and garden design.
The show ends with a ''virtual'' visit to the Casa Buonarroti, the house that Michelangelo bought and never occupied and that was turned into a museum by his great-nephew. On the other hand, for anyone in Florence it is far simpler to see the real thing a few blocks away on the Via Ghibellina. And there, in the gallery's permanent collection, one can find much more of Michelangelo's work.Continue reading the main story

Who wants to hear about my lame weekend? Well, it all started out in the Gym at school. We're doing trampolining, and we have to do all of these things. I was told to make up a routine so I did. I did a pike, bounce, splits in the air (I can't remember the name), bounce, tuck, seat-drop, seat-drop, and I was about to do another seat-drop when I fell on my elbows. So they are now cut.
Then I fell down the stairs. And had a sprained ankle. I still have a sprained ankle. So I went home from school because of my ankle and got a HUGE piece of wood stuck up my nail. It started bleeding. I fell down some ladders. My arm hurts.
Not my weekend, eh? However, I watched some season 4 episodes, and I felt much happier! People have been complaining about season 4 (including me), and that proved to me that iCarly is still amazing. If it can make me feel so much better when I'm in so much pain, it has to be great!

Well the guy helping me told me all that and that's how I was fitted into the skates I bought. I tried the Nexus 600s and it didn't hurt at all. I tried moving my foot in the boot with the skate blade planted on the ground so I would make sure it wouldn't move. It didn't feel like it moved in store at all but now while on the ice it feels just a little loose. I think I'll try the bar clamps on the sides and see if that makes it narrower, I don't need it to be much narrower so I'm hoping it'll be enough pressure to make the difference but shouldn't be so much that it damages anything.
I'll give it a month before I ultimately decide what to do. Worst case, I'm hoping I could at least get $250 back on eBay or something, after all, they're still pretty much brand new...
