Plundered poetry (is) More divine than sacred prose Speaks languages of forgotten magic spells Becomes supine, opens like a rose Whispering incantation for a lovers yells

N2S, look up additional Chernobyl "Diaries"

Jane and Louise Wilson 303 Gallery

Oddments Room

Internationally acclaimed artists Jane and Louise Wilson are known for their film and photographic works, often exploring states of consciousness and the experience of place. This summer a series of large-scale photographs from their ongoing investigation into the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster premieres at the John Hansard Gallery. The exhibition also features a number of other works, many previously unseen in the UK.

Atomgrad (Nature Abhors a Vacuum), 2010 is a suite of eight photographic prints depicting deserted interiors from the abandoned town of Pripyat, situated within the 30km wide Exclusion Zone around the site of the disaster. Books remain on shelves and desks, bed frames remain intact and once-exquisite parquet flooring lies on the ground like rubble. A yardstick appears within each image and is a recurring motif throughout the exhibition. These objects of measurement – functional yet obsolete – act as a marker of scale and order, alluding to the tensions between association and analysis, memory and material fact.

Raw Pumpkin Pie, the Real Deal!

Crust:

1 cup sprouted buckwheat (substitute almonds if preferred)

1/3 cup ground flax

1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened

1 cup soft dates (soak in water if dry)

1/4 cup raw cacao nibs

1/4 cup raw coconut oil

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp himalayan salt

Filling:

2 cups raw cashews, soaked

1 cup fresh pumpkin juice 

1/2 cup maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of your choice)

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp ginger

1/4 tsp cloves

1/2 cup raw coconut oil, melted

Directions:

For crust, in a food processor process buckwheat, coconut flakes, flax, coconut, salt, and cinammon until fine texture is reached. Add in the cacao nibs, coconut oil, and lastly drop in dates one at a time while processor is running. Process until the mixture holds together. Press crust into a springform pan oiled with coconut oil beforehand. 

For filling, juice an entire sugar pie pumpkin to get 1 cup of juice (if you don’t have a juicer, blend the chopped pumpkin in a high-speed blender with some water, and strain the juice through a nut-milk bag). Save the seeds and pulp for future creations! Add cashews, pumpkin juice, maple syrup, and spices to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add the coconut oil last, ideally while the blender is running. When coconut oil is fully incorporated and the texture is super yummy and smooth, pour the filling on top of the crust. Smooth with a spatula if necessary. 

Save the stem of your sugar pie pumpkin for decorating if you like! 

Freeze the pie for at least 3-4 hours to fully set up. Move to refridgerator 1-2 hours before planning to serve to allow it to thaw. Slice and serve, and fully enjoy this incredible pumpkin pie! 

Serves 12-16 using an 8 inch springform pan. 

Angela says: This truly tastes like REAL pumpkin pie!!! Without the sugar, dairy, eggs, or gluten, using only the purest of ingredients. If you can let this pie sit at room temperature for about 1/2 an hour before serving, the texture will be just perfect. This pie is creamy, comforting, and ‘tis the season! It’s been a major hit over the last three holiday seasons- a true crowd pleaser. Make sure to add in lots of light and love to your creation while you make it- it truly makes a difference. Enjoy!

Figure caption with the NPR political article/source:

"A display of a series of skeletons showing the evolution of humans at the Peabody Museum, New Haven, Conn., circa 1935."

That, and copying Huxley’s famous figure, might be what the museum exhibit creator had in mind, but these 80 or so years later we’re all done recklessly and inaccurately insinuating that we evolved from gorillas, that evolved from chimps, that evolved from orangutans, that evolved from gibbons. 

A row of primate skeletons does not depict human evolution any more than a row of dog skeletons depicts the evolution of dogs. 

It’s images like this that perpetuate misunderstandings that contribute to the obstacles to evolution acceptance. And of all places to mislead readers about evolution, an article about evolution denial is definitely not one. 

my courage was dashed

Calmness is the cradle of "true power"

Who is it that seeks to withhold what it considers the most prized information regarding (ironically) ‘pd’ (and even other more trivial info) *and* creative efforts?? Who is it that thinks they are possessions??

it wants to be manifested from the ether as opposed to being produced from prolonged research (and yes actual practice) like some kind of dijinn or elemental. it pretends to be its own god but it serves the audience by this *image management* spiritual materialism is a real danger for the likes of these. "you may have not lost all your marbles, but there is definitely a hole in the bag"

The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Scaling to 46 years, we’ve been here 4 hours and our Industrial Revolution began just 1 minute ago. In that time we’ve destroyed more than 50% of the world’s forests. This is NOT sustainable.
