Georges Rouault, 1905, Jeu de massacre (Slaughter), (Forains, Cabotins, Pitres), (La noce à Nini patte en l'air), watercolor, gouache, India ink and pastel on paper, 53 x 67 cm, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris Georges Henri Rouault (French: [ʒɔʁʒ ʁuo]; 27 May 1871 – 13 February 1958) was a French Fauvist and Expressionist painter, and printmaker in lithography and etching. Childhood and education[edit] Rouault was born in Paris into a poor family. His mother encouraged his love for the arts, and in 1885 the fourteen-year-old Rouault embarked on an apprenticeship as a glass painter and restorer, which lasted until 1890.
This early experience as a glass painter has been suggested as a likely source of the heavy black contouring and glowing colours, likened to leaded glass, which characterize Rouault's mature painting style. Early works[edit] Georges Rouault also met Henri Matisse, Albert Marquet, Henri Manguin, and Charles Camoin. In 1891 Rouault painted "The Way to Calvary". Notes[edit] Use Cases « FairSetup.

The Problem If the company consists of three equal partners, everyone is engaged. But what if there are not three employees, but ten? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand? Traditionally, companies have used a number of ways to try to engage and manage employees.

Bigelow6/12/12 The X Prize Foundation likes to say its first $10 million prize (for successfully demonstrating a private rocket can reach space) has multiplied 100-fold, resulting in a $1 billion private space industry—not to mention the benefits of worldwide media coverage in 2004, when SpaceShipOne claimed the prize. In recent years, it’s become increasingly clear that San Diego’s Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) has been paying attention. As a prequel to its Uplinq developer conference set to begin in San Diego later this month, Qualcomm is now offering a total of $50,000 in cash and other prizes to mobile app developers attending a pre-conference “mobile codefest and hackathon.” The all-day event is limited to the first 300 people who sign up, and costs nothing beyond Uplinq’s regular registration fee.
Of course, these are Qualcomm-centric contests. —Best prototype app using facial processing —Best Web app using HTML5 —Best Windows Phone app —Best context awareness app. Home - Urban Guide for Alternate Use. » The U.S. Economy By The Numbers: 70 Facts That Barack Obama Does Not Want You To See Alex Jones. Michael Snyder The Economic Collapse Friday, June 8, 2012 Why is the economy going to collapse? Have you ever been asked that question? If so, what did you say? Sometimes it is difficult to communicate dozens of complicated economic and financial concepts in a package that the average person on the street can easily digest.
It can be very frustrating to know that something is true but not be able to explain it clearly to someone else. Hopefully many of you out there will find the list below useful. It is a list of 70 numbers that show why we are headed for a national economic nightmare. The following are 70 facts that Barack Obama does not want you to see…. $3.59 – When Barack Obama entered the White House, the average price of a gallon of gasoline was $1.85. 22 – It is hard to believe, but today the poverty rate for children living in the United States is a whopping 22 percent. 23 – According to U.S. 40 – The official U.S. unemployment rate has been above 8 percent for 40 months in a row. » As Greenback Sinks, Dubai’s Chief Economist Calls For Chinese ‘Redback’ Alex Jones. A.M. Freyed Infowars.com June 7, 2012 Time for dollar, euro to step aside — the redback cometh… Yuan finally set to emerge on a global scale with China hot on heels of US as world’s second largest economy.
There are increasing calls for the yuan to become an international payment, investment and reserve currency. The move towards yuan internationalisation requires domestic structural reforms and financial market development. China’s 12th five year plan objectives provide for gradual capital account convertibility and removal of internal financial distortions. This requires interest rate liberalisation and the development of money market instruments and debt capital markets: the “Redback Market”. – GulfNews So this is the real reason that US pols keep calling for a floating yuan … “Competitiveness” is a kind of justification hiding a larger intention. The International Monetary Fund’s underdeveloped SDRs may provide a worldwide currency basket – at least that seems to be the plan.

Home > about us | About Wixarika Research Center The Wixárika Research Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit public foundation, registered in the State of California and founded in May of 2001, to promote public awareness of the Huichol (Wixárika) culture of Mexico through the creation of an online archive for the Wixárika and scholars of their art, history and culture. Its founders, Juan and Yvonne Negrín, established a number of charitable organizations in Mexico to promote ecological development and self-sufficiency through carpentry and weaving workshops, which produced items for a strong internal and regional market.
They have worked with the Wixaritari since 1970 and have established links with other grassroots organizations working in Mexico. For the past 42 years they have collected traditional and contemporary art works and endeavored to help the public appreciate and understand these as a window into Wixárika culture. Huichols slam Mexican government for “media masquerade” | The Esperanza Project. Above, Rubén Albarran from the rock band Café Tacvba confers with Wixarika leader Santos de la Cruz at a press conference regarding the government announcement. MEXICO CITY – It sounded too good to be true – and, indeed, it was. The mining company First Majestic Silver was handing over its mining concessions in the sacred lands of Wirikuta, and the government was declaring 45,000 hectares a National Mining Reserve, which would be protected from exploitation.
In a ceremony held Thursday at the National Museum of Anthropology, Bruno Ferrari, Secretary of the Economy, and Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada, Secretary of the Environment, announced the news in the company of a group of Wixarika people. The social media were on fire; messages circulated on Twitter and Facebook faster than you could refesh your screen: “Aho! Ganamos!” “They said Wirikuta is safe from danger, but it’s a lie; Wirikuta has been sold,” declared Felipe Serio Chino of the Wixarika Union of Ceremonial Centers.
Wixarika | The Esperanza Project. Story and photos by Tracy L. Barnett REAL DE CATORCE, Mexico – They came by the hundreds from the Western Sierra Madre, native Wixarika or Huichol people on a spiritual quest, seeking to consult with the spirits of their ancestors and of the land where their world began. They came in their ceremonial dress, colorfully embroidered with their sacred symbols of the deer, the eagle and the peyote. They came with offerings they had fashioned from beads and gourds and beeswax, offerings they had made precious with their love and their prayers, as their forebears had done for centuries. This year, however, would be vastly different from years past. This year, the sacred lands of Wirikuta lay under the shadow of an uncertain future.
It might happen that we would be invited up to the peak during the night to join the ceremony. It was nearly sundown when I started up the mountain on horseback, along with Wirikuta Defense Front leader Carlos Chavez and his family. More dancing, more singing.

The Scale of the Universe 2. Swedes spend their lunch breaks clubbing. Photograph by Kirsten Eddyson Photography. When it comes to lunch breaks, the laissez-faire French like to take two hours out of their workday to savor their food in the company of colleagues while workaholic Americans prefer dining solo in front of their computers. Well, in Sweden we have a whole other vibe going. Here, more and more workers are forgoing both leisurely lunches and "al-desko" dining in favor of daytime raves. It started in the fall of 2010 when 14 friends decided to dance their lunch breaks away in their office garage. They called their gathering "Lunch Beat. " As rumors about this literally underground movement spread, more and more people joined in. The basic idea behind Lunch Beat is that workers take an hour out in the middle of the day to let loose in the company of fellow dance-enthusiasts. I attended the latest Lunch Beat on April 24, in Stockholm.
Several people were on the dance floor before noon, waiting for the DJ to arrive. Banana mangante Samuel Zemurray: Rich Cohen’s The Fish That Ate the Whale. Photograph by Eliot Elisofon/Time & Life Pictures/Getty Images. Samuel Zemurray took his money and went south. Wisteria bloomed along the railroad tracks. Towns drifted by. He could smell the ocean before he could see it. He was like a kid on the frontier, who, a day after the harvest, folds his savings into a roll and goes to try his luck in town.
He was 17, a big kid, 6-foot-3 in boots, the wingspan of a condor. It was said he could swear in five languages. Mobile was booming in the last years of the 19th century, a seedy industrial port filled with all the familiar types: the sharpie, the financier, the scoundrel, the chucklehead, the sport. One evening, Sam stood on the wharf watching a Boston Fruit banana boat sail into the harbor. In the South, in the days before mechanical equipment, bananas were unloaded by hand, the workers carrying the cargo a stem at a time—from the hold, where the shipment was packed in ice, onto the deck of the ship.

The electrical dance of revolutionary Uranus and transformative Pluto outlines revolutionary phases in the development of human consciousness on a global scale. We are soon to enter the next stage of this cosmic quadrille.
Richard Giles examines the trends... Historical cycles' beginnings and endings are very hard to spot from our narrow day-to-day perspective. From an astrologer's viewpoint, these cycles' directions are not always clear until afterwards. One such influential cycle is that of two of the outer planets, Uranus and Pluto. A few months ago I watched the movie Bobby, the story of Robert Kennedy Jnr, the second of the Kennedy brothers to be shot dead in the USA by an assassin. He was killed in June 1968. Uranus has a constant cycle of 84-85 years, spending 7 years in each zodiac sign.

MediaProCamp. Peter Brook. Peter Stephen Paul Brook CH, CBE (born 21 March 1925) is an English theatre and film director and innovator, who has been based in France since the early 1970s. Biography[edit] Life[edit] Brook was born in London in March 1925, the son of Simon Brook and his wife Ida (Jansen), two Jewish immigrants from Latvia.[1] He was educated at Westminster School, Gresham's School and Magdalen College, Oxford.
In 1951, Brook married the actress Natasha Parry; the couple have a son and a daughter. In 1970, with Micheline Rozan, Brook founded the International Centre for Theatre Research, a multinational company of actors, dancers, musicians and others which travelled widely in the Middle East and Africa in the early 1970s. It is now based in Paris at the Bouffes du Nord theatre.[2] In 2008 he made the decision to resign as artistic director of Bouffes du Nord, handing over to Olivier Mantei and Olivier Poubelle in 2008.[3] Influences[edit] His major influence, however, was Joan Littlewood. Work[edit] Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. Chandra Mohan Jain (11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990), also known as Acharya Rajneesh from the 1960s onwards, as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh ( pronunciation ) during the 1970s and 1980s, and as Osho ( pronunciation ;) from 1989, was an Indian mystic, guru and spiritual teacher.
His international following has continued after his death. A professor of philosophy, he traveled throughout India during the 1960s as a public speaker. His outspoken criticism of politicians and the political mind, Mahatma Gandhi and institutionalised religion made him controversial. He advocated a more open attitude towards sexuality, a stance which earned him the sobriquet of "sex guru" in the Indian and (later) international press.[1] In 1970 Rajneesh settled for a time in Bombay, initiating disciples (known as neo-sannyasins) and assuming the role of spiritual teacher. Rajneesh's ashram in Pune[6] is today known as the Osho International Meditation Resort. Biography[edit] Childhood and adolescence: 1931–1950[edit] George Gurdjieff.
