Across The Universe

Project 365
37/366

Yesterday NASA beamed the Beatles’ song "Across the Universe" to the space, by aiming a giant antenna in Robledo de Chavela (Madrid, Spain) at Polaris.

The transmission is being aimed at the North Star, Polaris, which is located 431 light years away from Earth. The song will travel across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney expressed excitement that the tune, which was principally written by fellow Beatle John Lennon, was being beamed into the cosmos.

"Amazing! Well done, NASA!" McCartney said in a message to the space agency. "Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul."

Today I’ve been there…

The palace and surrounding estate dates back to the time of Peter the Great, who founded St. Petersburg as the Russian capital. The palace and estate took nearly 200 years to acquire its present shape with contributions from the best architectural talent of the time.

… inzwischen auch auf Manuel Neuers offizieller Website zu sehen. SONGS: 1. MUSE – Yes Please (Hullabaloo) 2. Trevor Rabin – A Wing And A Prayer (Armageddon Complete Score) Highlights des Champions League Achtelfinal-Rückspiels Porto – Schalke. Manuel Neuer, Torhüter der Schalker, führte die ansonsten schwache Schalker Mannschaft im Alleingang ins Viertelfinale. Nachdem er schon während der 120 Minuten mehrere spektakuläre Paraden zeigte, hielt er zudem noch 2 Strafstöße beim anschließenden Elfmeterschießen. In diesem Video habe ich seine schönsten Aktionen zusammengestellt. Highlights from the UEFA Champions League Match between Porto (POR) and Schalke (GER). The german goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was the MVP due to his fantastic saves in regular time and he also managed to save 2 penalty kicks. This compilation shows his best actions from the game.

Hotel Rossiya, Smolensk. I do not normally show the hotels I stay at, they are all just great., but then there is this one. This we were told is the best one in the area. It is a true communist type of construction and the first hotel I stayed at that had a theatre. I went to my room and decised to check it out, the plumbing was from the dark ages and my mattress was pink with blue bunny rabbits. It all seemed clean but I did not get inside the bed and left the light on all night.

Russia_2568 – Judith

PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks. I AM POSTING MANY DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON ALL – JUST ENJOY.

Judith – 1504 – by Giorgione

This work is regarded as the best of the Hermitage’s works from the Venetian School. The artist has taken as his subject the Biblical legend of Judith. When the Assyrian army laid siege to her native town of Bethulia, Judith set out to save both the city and its people. She penetrated the camp of Holofernes, commander of the enemy army, fascinated him with her beauty and intelligence, and when left alone with him after a banquet, beheaded the sleepy general with his own sword. Rather than depicting the final dramatic scene of the legend, Giorgione represents Judith in a state of tranquil meditation. The serenity of both the heroine and the landscape behind her do not seem to be in keeping with the dramatic events set out in the Bible, and only her traditional attributes confirm Judith as the subject of the painting.

5th Song Live In Melbourne 1983

I now present to you…Der Jodlerkonig, Franzl Lang. This guy is the best yodeler in the world. He is my idol, and is soon to be yours! One day I hope to yodel and dance like him. Enjoy.

This is a song by Willi Kollo from the movie “Wir tanzen um die Welt” (We are dancing around the world), a musical/melodrama about a troupe of dancers made in 1939… It starred among others Carola Höhn, Irene von Meyendorff, Charlotte Thiele and Carl Raddatz who sang this song briefly in the movie… The movie saw Charlotte Thiele in a leading role. She only had a short career in movies, ending in 1944. She is best remembered for her roles in “Titanic” (1943, as mrs Astor) and the propaganda movie “Ich klage an” (1941, as a doctor). She was the picture perfect ice cold blonde…Although she sometimes played sympathetic parts, she always looked as if she was going to shoot her partners point blank (Had times been different, she would not have been out of place in a Hitchcock movie!). She died in 2004. Beauty Carola Höhn on the other hand had a long career in both movies, television and the stage, specialising in old age in the role of “Grande dame”. she died in 2005. Irene von Meyendorff was from a noble family and equally enjoyed a long career until she married actor and botanist James Robertson Justice and moved to England where she died in 2001. This is a recoring from 1941 in a big band sound. See video response Georges Guétary for the melodic French version, called “Un beau soir”. Slideshow of some of the actors and lobbycards/publicity from other musicals that are NOT connected to “Wir tanzen um die Welt”. All pictures/Images from personal collection.

Ceiba pentandra


Bild von wallygrom
By one of the ball courts at Coba Mayan ruins. It is said that if the tree flowers by a specific date (in March, I think) then the weather will be perfect for the crops. If it flowers earlier, there will be floods. If it flowers later, there will be drought.

From Wikipedia -
Ceiba is the name of a genus of many species of large trees found in tropical areas, including Mexico, Central and South America, The Bahamas, Belize and the Caribbean, West Africa, and Southeast Asia. Some species can grow to 70 m (230 ft) tall or more, with a straight, largely branchless trunk that culminates in a huge, spreading canopy, and buttress roots that can be taller than a grown person. The best-known, and most widely cultivated, species is Kapok, Ceiba pentandra.

The tree figures in the mythologies of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, in particular that of the Maya civilization, where the concept of the central world tree is often depicted as a Ceiba trunk, which connects the planes of the Underworld (Xibalba), the terrestrial realm and the skies. The unmistakable thick conical thorns in clusters on the trunk were reproduced by the southern lowland Maya of the Classical Period on cylindrical ceramic burial urns or incense holders. Modern Maya still often respectfully leave the tree standing when harvesting forest timber.

The Honduran city of La Ceiba was named after a particular Ceiba tree that grew down by the old docks. The Puerto Rican town of Ceiba is also named after this tree. Ceiba is also the national tree of Guatemala.

In 1525, Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés ordered the hanging of Aztec emperor Cuauhtemoc from a Ceiba tree after overtaking his empire.

In 1898, the Spanish Army in Cuba surrendered to the United States under a Ceiba, which was named the Tree of Peace (Arbol de la Paz), outside of Santiago de Cuba.

Ceiba insignis and Ceiba speciosa are added to some versions of the hallucinogenic drink Ayahuasca.

Recent botanical opinion incorporates Chorisia within Ceiba, raising the number of species from 10 to 20 or more, and puts the genus as a whole within the family Malvaceae.

Ceiba species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species including the leaf-miner Bucculatrix ceibae which feeds exclusively on the genus.

From Wikipedia -
Ceiba pentandra is a tropical tree of the order Malvales and the family Malvaceae (previously separated in the family Bombacaceae), native to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, northern South America, and (as the variety C. pentandra var. guineensis) to tropical west Africa. Kapok is the most used common name for the tree and may also refer to the fibre obtained from its seed pods. The tree is also known as the Java cotton, Java kapok, Silk cotton or ceiba. It is a sacred symbol in Maya mythology.

The tree grows to 60-70 m (200-230 ft) tall and has a very substantial trunk up to 3 m (10 ft) in diameter with buttresses. The trunk and many of the larger branches are often (but not always) crowded with very large, robust simple thorns. The leaves are compound of 5 to 9 leaflets, each up to 20 cm (8 in) and palm like. Adult trees produce several hundred 15 cm (6 in) seed pods. The pods contain seeds surrounded by a fluffy, yellowish fibre that is a mix of lignin and cellulose.

The fibre is light, very buoyant, resilient and resistant to water. The process of harvesting and separating the fibre is labour-intensive and manual. It is difficult to spin but is used as an alternative to down as filling in mattresses, pillows, upholstery, zafus, and stuffed toys such as teddy bears, and for insulation. It was previously much used in life jackets and similar devices until synthetic materials largely replaced the fibre. The seeds produce an oil used locally in soap and that can be used as fertilizer.

Native tribes along the Amazon River harvest the kapok fibre to wrap around their blowgun darts. The fibres create a seal that allows the pressure to force the dart through the tube.

The commercial tree is most heavily cultivated in the rainforests of Asia, notably in Java (hence its nicknames), Philippines, Malaysia, Hainan Island in China as well as in South America.
The flowers are an important source of nectar and pollen for honeybees.

This tree is the official national tree of Puerto Rico and Guatemala.

Ethnomedical uses -
Ceiba pentandra bark decoction has been used as a diuretic, aphrodisiac, and to treat headache, as well as type II diabetes.

Ceiba pentandra is used as an additive to some versions of the hallucinogenic drink Ayahuasca.

When we were eating dinner a fireworks display started, I do not take a tripod on trips so this was the best I could do. There was a Chinese fair going on across the other side of the river.

Estonia_1442 – Hello Estonia City of Tallinn

PLEASE, no multi invitations in your comments. Thanks. I AM POSTING MANY DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON ALL – JUST ENJOY.

Took a optional day trip to Tallinn, we were met by a tour guide and saw some interesting things.

Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia and was founded in 1157 A.D. It is considered one of the best preserved medieval cities in Europe. The city lies 37 miles (about 60 km) across the Gulf of Finland from Helsinki. Tallinn has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Estonia is the smallest and northernmost of the Baltic States. The Estonian people are related to the Finns and have rich ethnic customs, which they have retained, even though they have been an independent country for less than 30 of the last 500 years. For most of the last three centuries they have been ruled by the Russians, from whom they regained their freedom in 1991. The country is mostly flat except for some highlands in the south-eastern corner. Islands off the western coast make up 10% of the country’s area.
