Morchella conica

Morchella conica is an old binomial name previously applied to species of fungi in the family Morchellaceae. It is one of three scientific names that had been commonly used to describe black morels, the others being M. angusticeps and M. elata. It was first introduced by mycologist Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1818,Morchella continua. According to Richard and colleagues, Fries’ sanctioning applies only at the subgeneric level and the name is illegitimate.

Throughout the years, the name M. conica has been invariably applied to many different species by different authors, and DNA analysis in 2014 revealed that morels identified as "M. conica" indeed belonged to Morchella deliciosa, Morchella purpurascens, Morchella tridentina, and Morchella vulgaris.

Stemmer died of cancer on April 2, 2013.

Education

Stemmer attended the Institut Montana Zugerberg, a boarding and day school on the Zugerberg, Switzerland, in the greater Zurich area, from which he graduated in 1975. He developed an interest in biology at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands,M.S. in biology in 1980.

It was not until 1980, however, when he traveled to University of Wisconsin–Madison that he was introduced to molecular biology. He received a PhD from the University of Wisconsin for his work on bacterial pili and fimbriae involved in host-pathogen interactions. Afterwards, he conducted postdoctoral research with Professor Fred Blattner on phage display of random peptide libraries and antibody fragment expression in E. coli bacteria.

Career

Stemmer initially worked on antibody fragment engineering at Hybritech. He then became a scientist at Affymax, where he invented DNA shuffling (also known as "molecular breeding"). In 1997 he founded Maxygen to commercialize DNA shuffling, which led to the founding of both Verdia and Codexis as spin-offs.

Wilhelm Rasmussen

Wilhelm Rasmussen (15 June 1879 – 6 December 1965) was a Norwegian sculptor.

Wilhelm Robert Rasmussen was born in Skien in Telemark county, Norway. He studied under Norwegian sculptors Brynjulf Bergslien and Lars Utne (1862–1922), and later trained at the Drawing Academy in Oslo from 1895 to 1900, then a short time in Paris in 1902 and in Italy in 1906. From 1921 to 1945 he was professor of sculptor at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry and had among others, Ørnulf Bast as a student.

His most extensive work was the 34-meter high column originally titled Eidsvollsøylen, which in 1925 had won the competition sponsored by the Parliament of Norway for a monument on Eidsvolls plass in front of the Parliament building in memory of the Norwegian Constitution. Following a very controversial history, the 34-meter tall was re-titled Saga column (Sagasøyla) and was finally erected in the Bøverdalen valley in Lom municipality in the County of Oppland during 1992.

Among his other works are busts of Norwegian architect Magnus Poulsson and of Norwegian poet Olav Aukrust at the National Gallery of Norway.caryatid in Larvikite for installation at the Tønsberg Navigation School (Sjømannsskolen i Tønsberg).

She is working with genre themes, feminism, pedophilia and mystery, and she has exhibited in Europe and the United States. She has received grants and awards, including a Czech "Grammy" for the best CD cover and the International Studio Program in New York, 1998. She represented the Czech Republic at the 1999 Venice Biennale in the Czechoslovakia building.

Life and career

Bromova was discovered as a two-year-old by a well-known Socialist Realist sculptor, Lidicky, who used her as the model for the child in a monumental sculpture of the "Ideal Socialist Family." The sculpture was placed beside the national memorial building on a hill in central Prague, where the mummified body of Czechoslovakia's first Communist president, Klement Gottwald, was housed. The statue for which she modelled still stands there, but the building is virtually abandoned.

The core of Bromova's work is photographic; she often uses computer manipulation or adds objects.narcissism, however; rather, she is able to keep a distance from her subjects in the process of exploration of human body, its limitations, desires, and different forms.

Ulrich Molitor

Ulrich Molitor (also Molitoris) (c. 1442 – before 23 December 1507) was a lawyer who wrote a treatise in opposition to the recent witch-phobic efforts by Heinrich Kramer.De Lamiis et Pythonicis Mulieribus, was first published in 1489, three years after the first edition of Kramer's work, Malleus Maleficarum, and both books were reprinted frequently throughout the 1490s. Moliter was likely to have personally witnessed the inquisitions led by Heinrick Kramer in the diocese of Brixen and the diocese of Constance.

Molitor's work is written in the form of a dialogue with Molitor's position that of a skeptic in opposition to a witch-phobic fanatic (likely meant to represent Kramer). A third figure, Archduke Sigismund, acts as a wise arbiter. Molitor's position is that of the ancient and long-held traditional Catholic law, the Canon Episcopi(906), that considered witchcraft an illusion. Molitor quotes the Bible, Church Fathers and poets and focusses on the devil's ability to deceive. Sigismund in the dialogue is quick to dismiss evidence that was produced through the use of torture: "For the fear of punishments incites men to say what is contrary to the nature of the facts". Sigismund had also experienced an inquisition led by Kramer in Innsbruck in 1485 and may have played a decisive role in shutting it down, thereby preventing seven accused women from being executed.

Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Leeds

Our Lady of Lourdes Church is a Roman Catholic church in the parish of St Jeanne Jugan, Leeds. It was built by the Society of Jesus in the 1920s and it is situated on Cardigan Road in Burley, Leeds.

History

When the church was originally built it was called the Sacred Heart Chapel, because it was a chapel of ease for the Sacred Heart Parish church in Leeds.

Foundation

In 1890, a provost of Leeds Cathedral, Browne, created a Mass centre for the Burley area when he bought a cottage on the corner of Poplar Street and Burley Road. This became the home of the Sacred Heart Parish.

In 1905, William Gordon, Roman Catholic Bishop of Leeds, invited the Jesuits to take over the running of it. Shortly afterwards, the presbytery was moved to Vinery Roadparish church of the local area, Sacred Heart Church.

A small primary school, Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, was built to the rear of the church.St Michael's College.

Construction

Plans for Sacred Heart Chapel began in the early 1920s, James O’Brien created another presbytery by acquiring a house on the Cardigan Road. In 1925 plans were drawn up by J. Armstrong of Leeds for a new church hall to be built next to the presbytery. Unfortunately, work came to a halt soon afterwards, supposedly because of ‘the fraudulent activities of the architect’. Three years later, the new architect Edward Simpson brought the construction to a close by finishing the building in 1930. He altered the designs of the building so that it could be used as both a chapel and a church hall. It was named Sacred Heart Chapel after the main parish church it was attached to.

In 1932, a new choir gallery and organ were built at the west side of the chapel. In 1939, a hall for the 'Boys' Club' was built, which became the present church hall.

Our Lady of Lourdes Church

In 1947, the Jesuits withdrew from the area and handed over the entire Sacred Heart parish, both the parish church and the chapel of ease, to the Diocese of Leeds, who continue to minister to the local Catholic population.chapel of ease became a separate parish and was renamed Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Church.

In 1959, the interior was renovated by the architect Derek Walker. Within the church is a fresco by Aidan Hart, who also worked on the Saint John's Bible.

Sacred Heart Church

In the 1960s, the County Borough of Leeds undertook large-scale construction projects across the city. Sacred Heart Church, the primary school, and the Poplar Street area were all demolished. The school moved to Eden Way, between the Kirkstall Road and Argie Avenue, where it still continues. Sacred Heart Church was rebuilt in the Hyde Park area. It was a modernist building designed also by Derek Walker.Leeds Grand Mosque.

Architecture

Exterior

Our Lady of Lourdes Church, which was once a hall, is built with red bricks with stone bands and a mansard slate roof. The front entrance has three smaller slit windows either side of it and a larger Venetian window above it. The stone banding forms a parapet above the entrance. There is a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes on the parapet. Either side of the main entrance are doric designed columns on a rusticated frame.

Interior

West side of church

In 1959, attempts were made by the architect, Derek Walker, to have the building look more like a place of worship than a church hall. The old sanctuary was removed and entirely replaced. It was lowered by two feet and two screens made of metal were placed either side of the sanctuary allowing for two separate spaces. The stained glass panel to the left of the altar depicts Jesus Christ and the panel to the left depicts Our Lady of Lourdes. There are frieze bands above the screens depicting the heads of angels. The altar reredos is a white panel made of plaster. The altar is made of Hopton Wood stone and shows Jesus with the twelve apostles. The church is composed of one single space without separation. The ceiling has a series of trusses with timber slats attached to them. Above the altar is a metal canopy, designed by Walker, that resembles the crown of thorns. To the right of the sanctuary is a Blessed Sacrament chapel with a polychrome enamel tabernacle. The sacristy is behind the sanctuary and is the same width as the church. There is a narthex with a porch, entrance lobby and toilets at the west end of the church.


Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Leeds

St Jeanne Jugan Parish

In 2010, the parish was merged with St Urban's church to become one parish named after St Jeanne Jugan.

The church has one Sunday Mass every week, at 8:45 am on Sundays. St Urban's Church has Mass times not to conflict with Our Lady of Lourdes church, it has Mass at 6:00 pm on Saturdays and at 10:30 am on Sundays. St Urban's Church usually has Mass from Monday to Friday at 9:15 am, whereas Our Lady of Lourdes Church has a Mass at midday on Saturday.

Pietà (Cosmè Tura)

Pietà (c. 1460) by Cosmè Tura

Pietà is a tempera on panel painting by Cosmè Tura, measuring 47.7 cm by 33.5 cm. It is now in the Museo Correr in Venice, to which it was left with the rest of the collection of Teodoro Correr on 1 January 1830.Calliope and his Roverella Altarpiece, it has been dated to around 1460.

Description and style

The work presents a fairly classic iconography, that of Vesperbild, slightly revisited, where the dimension of pain is sublimated. Mary is seen seated on the edge of the vault, in the center of the composition, holding the body of her dead son; the Calvary is in the background. The pictorial quality is very high, in some points the underlying drawing made directly on the plaster layer is visible, it can be admired a wise use of lacquers and oil glazing. The work is rich in symbols and meanings, among these, the most curious is on the left of the viewer: in the corner, near a ruinous fall of color, you can see a monkey on the top of a tree that reminds of the inferior nature of man compared to the divine. Stylistically, therefore, it is fully in line with the Ferrarese painting of the late fifteenth century, between Nordic influences and the interpretation of the novelties brought by Andrea Mantegna in nearby Padua.

Rudolf Friedrich Kurz

Rudolph Friedrich Kurz (1818–1871) was a Swiss painter and writer who traveled to the United States in order to paint and study the Native Americans. He is mostly known on account of his journals, in which he presents an account of and an interesting commentary on life in the mid-19th century along the Mississippi and upper Missouri rivers.

Life

Rudolph Kurz was born in 1818 in Bern, Switzerland to parents Maria Stooss and her husband Johannes Kurz. His father had immigrated to Switzerland from the German city of Reutlingen in 1806, settling in Langnau, Bern canton. The youth took drawing classes at the Bern gymnasium under Joseph Volmar. In 1838 he travelled to Paris to further his studies; there he met Alexander von Humboldt and Karl Bodmer. Upon returning to Bern (1842), he became head of painting class at the Fellenberg Institute in Hofwil. In 1846, he left Bern (and the Old Continent), taking a ship from a coastal port to the United States.

He traveled in the west, along the upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers, describing the peoples and regions in his journals. The time spent in the bustling frontier communities proved to be both fruitful and dangerous. He tried his luck in mining and horse trade (with no successes). In 1850 he married Witthae, daughter of Kirutshe, leader of an Iowa band, but the marriage did not last. Witthae ran away after two weeks, pining for her mother and people.

After four years in which Kurz struggled just to pay for his board and lodging, in June 1851 Kurz met Alexander Culbertson in Council Bluffs. He was hired and embarked the steamer St. Ange to Fort Fort Berthold in present-day central North Dakota, to clerk for the American Fur Company.Mandan and Hidatsa people believed that painting and drawing would bring ill luck. During the summer, a cholera epidemic broke out among the Indians, and nearly everyone except Kurz became ill. Blame for the sickness began to focus upon the artist, so he fled to Fort Union on August 18, 1851.


Rudolf Friedrich Kurz

In Fort Union, Kurz had better opportunities to pursue his painting. The Bourgeois, or manager of the fort, Edwin Thompson Denig, commissioned the young Swiss man to paint and sketch various persons and places. Many of Kurz's sketches of Fort Union's interior were later relied on by National Park Service contractors to design that fort's partial reconstruction in 1989.

Kurz returned to Bern in 1852. He taught painting, first in the local gymnasiumFort Randall, South Dakota.

Upon his death on October 16, 1871, Rudolf Friedrich Kurz left numerous sketches, paintings (some of which were burned by his family due to nudity) and texts. He also had compiled a brief dictionary of Native American dialects.

Premios Nuestra Tierra

The Premios Nuestra Tierra or Our Country Awards is an annual Colombian music award show. They have a format similar to that of the Grammy Awards, but restricted to the Colombian scope. The first Premios Nuestra Tierra were held in 2007. From 2015 through 2019 the show was discontinued for unknown reasons, until 2020 when they returned.

History

The awards began in 2007 and were created by Blanca Luz Holguín, Fernán Martínez and Alejandro Villalobos with the purpose of encouraging Colombian artists and trying to encourage new Colombian singers so that the music industry in Colombia has much greater movement.

In 2008 and 2009 Movistar bought half of the proposal that was renamed "Premios Movistar nuestra tierra" in order to promote its other colombian project "Movistar Radio". Since 2010 the prizes have been renamed "premios nuestra tierra" without any sponsored.

On May 16, 2020, after seven years since the last award ceremony, the ninth edition is held.

Method of choice

The winners are chosen through an association that has the organization of the awards, where directors participate, some representatives of the Colombian record companies and executives of RCN and Caracol Radio.

Trophy

The current award is a heart with musical notes around and a crown at the top representing the heart of Jesus.

At first the trophy was a plaque that symbolized the signs that Colombian public buses put to inform people where they are going, however, they realized that the plaque was very uncomfortable, and was later modernize to the current one.

Ogrish.com

Ogrish.com was a shock site that presented uncensored news coverage and multimedia material based for the most part on war, accidents and executions.

Much of the material depicted was graphic, uncensored, gory videos and images. The content was depicted as a means to challenge the viewer, with its catch line being "can you handle life?", but later changed to "uncover reality" after the site received a major design overhaul with aims of becoming more open to the general public and become a respected "alternative news service".

From November 2006 to May 2021, Ogrish.com redirected to LiveLeak, which was registered in October 2006. LiveLeak featured mostly user submitted videos and allowed the embedding of media on other sites. LiveLeak became ItemFix in May 2021, which Ogrish.com now redirects to.

History

The site hosted many graphic videos of violent events, without the permission of the families of the people shown.September 11, 2001 attacks were displayed on the site. The site was targeted for hacking attacks from Koreans after Ogrish uploaded the execution video of Kim Sun-il during the summer of 2004.

In August 2005, German official internet watchdog group Jugendschutz.netLevel 3 about Ogrish, whose IP address was then blocked in Germany. Since several ISPs connect through the blocked Level 3 connection in Frankfurt, many other countries outside of Germany were also affected by this block, including the Netherlands, France, Poland, Italy and Switzerland. The Youth Protection group had found that the provider violated German legislation that requires websites to verify the age of its visitors before granting access to adult content.


Ogrish.com

In early 2006, Ogrish.com changed its design to a much faster-loading, cleaner layout. Its previous layout was very "dark" and graphic-intensive. On January 27, 2006 the "Flame/Lame/Hate" section was replaced with The Ogrish Zoo, a more politically correct version that forbade racial slurs. This change lasted barely a day, and after some consideration was finally replaced with "The Underground", a private and hidden member group accessible only at the request of an established member to an administrator. On April 21 Ogrish closed this section, finally making the transition from a "gore" website to an "uncensored news" website. In April 2006, Ogrish.com introduced a podcast service (DJed by Shawn Wasson) and added a new forum section called Underground Media—members have the choice to join this section to see more images and videos.

The website's name derives from the archaic word "ogrish" according to the site's FAQ, "ogrish" or "ogreish", i.e. "like an ogre", as defined in older dictionaries in a figurative sense; that is being like a person who is felt to be particularly cruel, brutish or hideous.
