Cloudburst Mumbai: Updated Figures

One of the most amazing art experiences I have ever had in my life was to stand in front of the Spotted Horses in the cave of Pech Merle, on a vacation with friends in the Quercy region of southern France. These are images that were created, according to carbon dating and archeological estimation, around 25,000 B.C. In this cave, there are drawings of bison, mammoths, horses, and lions, as well as fossilized scat identified as that of hyenas. The world outside, what we now call western Europe, was so different, but people used their hands and minds to make not only representational images but also just shapes with color. It was a humbling and awesome feeling to see it in person.Pech Merle is one of the prehistoric painted caves that, at least at that time, small groups of people could still visit. The big kahuna of Ice Age caves, of course, the stunning Lascaux cave, was closed many years ago because an insidious white mold, fed by the moisture from the breath of human visitors, began to grow everywhere and destroy the paintings. (To prevent this from happening, caves like Pech Merle are carefully controlled in terms of humidity and temperature.)One person who has been allowed inside Lascaux is Renaud Sanson, who was profiled in an article by Anne-Marie Romero (Les mystères de Lascaux en partie levés, July 28) for Le Figaro. His basic point is that studying Lascaux from an archeological angle is futile, since most of the cave floor was disturbed and contaminated as soon as it was discovered. He is analyzing the cave as humanitys first masterpiece in art history," a place where, 19,000 years ago, artists "were not content simply to make drawings but created paintings that cover all of the wall space." The story of how he came to be doing that is interesting (my translation):It was after a series of chance events that this Parisian, a part-time arts worker, was called to work at first on Lascaux II (the reproduction of the cave that people can visit), in 1981, and then, several years later, on the Centre dinterprétation du Thot. Chance events that ended up determining his destiny. At 59 years old, he is now based in Montignac, and even if he now accepts other reproduction commissions, like that of the Niaux cave or the Ekain cave in the Basque country of Spain, for example, Lascaux is his lifes passion.The French government hired him to make another permanent reproduction exhibit, Lascaux révélé (Lascaux revealed),that has become "not just a commission but a concept" for Sanson. The artists studio in Montignac, an old hangar where in the 90s he based his company, ZK Productions, has been renovated and opened to public visitors since July 1. There you can watch Renaud Sanson and his team in the process of reproducing, exactly as possible, the paintings from the Lascaux cave.I am a painter who does not want to be a creator. My work is a success if I manage to become completely invisible. I exist only if I do not exist. A curious statement for an artist. But, if he does not want his work to be immortalized, it is because he finds happiness elsewhere. Making these reproductions is going to revolutionize our understanding of Lascaux, he continues, because digital images allow us to understand the painter's actions, to recreate his process, his reworking, his hesitations, and his goal, and that's what I am interested in right now.They use a high-powered digital camera to take extremely detailed pictures of the cave wall, including its contour. On the computer, each pixel is analyzed, to be reproduced exactly by hand with computer and image projector assistance. A second copy of the Lascaux Revealed exhibit is being prepared so that it can travel to other countries. Requests to host it have already come from Japan, Basel, Bilbao, and Australia. You can only see the team actually at work, however, in Montignac.link

the possibility of selling Baros for £7m and buying back little Micky Owen, now that he is available after a star appearance as an umpa lumpa in the latest summer movie hit, Charlie and the Chocolate factory.Fog on the TyneAfter losing to Deportivo, a hilariously short back pass to Shay Given being one of the reasons for the defeat, and with just 10 days to go before kicking off against Arsenal, Souness is still to sign a striker, whilst the leaky defence still needs patching up.Newcastle are becoming like Spurs used to be, they are linking themselves with everyone imaginable, in the hope the fans keep the interest and to distract the fans from the prospect of another dismal season. At £237,000 per game, representing the ticket price of about 9,000 fans at every home game, out of an average of around 40,000 fans, you can't really say you gave us value for money.Our club delivered their side of the contract, sadly due to injuries, you couldn't.

My previous post implied he hadn't.The official statement from the club says his contract was cancelled by mutual consent, which to most people in the street the word cancelled means zero cash paid to him.However, the YEP reports that he received an undisclosed sum.So I add these paragraphs to update my previous comment (here):With full knowledge that you have not provided any value to this club, beyond a paltry 59 games in four years, you still demanded a pay-off from the club.

Alba Volán Székesfehérvár is a Hungarian ice hockey team plays in the Austrian Erste Bank Hockey League. They play their home games at Székesfehérvár Ice Hall in Székesfehérvár. (March 2008)


In 1977, after many years, a new team in the country side entered the national championships, the Volán of Székesfehérvár. So all the odds were in favor of the final victory of Újpest and Székesfehérvár, which team were strengthened by players from the defunct BVSC team. Újpesti TE (named as Újpesti Dózsa) was the best team in the 80's, Ferencváros dominated the action throughout the the first half of the 90's, but in the mid 90’s Dunaferr SE and Alba Volán have taken over, mainly thanks to their great work with the junior players, as such players like Ocskay, Palkovics in Székesfehérvár, and Ladányi, Horváth in Dunaújváros showed their talents.

Gitanjali

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Gitanjali (Bangla Gitanjoli) is a collection of 103 English poems, largely translations, by the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. For example, poem 7 in the English volume renders poem 125 from the Bengali gItanjali, Amar e gan chheŗechhe tar shôkol ôlongkar and talks of heavenly love in terms of the lover taking off her jewelry, which is getting in the way of the union. 57), given here along with the Bangla text in Roman script:

Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light! Nonetheless, for millions of Bangla speakers, the Bengali originals continue to resonate, as in this verse:

I stand mesmerized,
wondering how you sing
your notes hold the world spellbound -
the light of your music
lights up my universe. (song 22 of Bengali Gitanjali, song 3 in the English.)
