Master and Commander won Best Sound by recording real antique cannons fired with different types of ammunition. The boom is what 18th-century sailors actually heard. It also nails the physics.
Historians consider it one of the most authentically sounding naval films ever made.

"The first frost came quiet in the night,
A whisper laid on fields of fading green,
It traced the earth in silver, pale and light,
And stilled the hum where summer once had been."

お坊さんなのでハッキリ言いますが、我慢強いことを美徳にする風潮はあまりよくないと思います。ブッダですら悟るための苦行を6年したあげくに、「もうええわ」と諦めてお粥を食べました。そしたらその日に悟りを開いたんです。我慢し過ぎは無駄です。

'The Sun.' (1904) Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo began work on what he described as his greatest picture in 1903 and completed it a year later. His aim was to achieve 'an exact replica of a sunrise,' something achieved by applying pure, unmixed strokes of colour side by side.

“Christian anthropology reminds us that a limitation is not a manufacturing defect, but rather the very condition of human grandeur.”
Today, the promises of transhumanism and posthumanism are multiplying. These are ideological currents according to which, sooner or later, technology will eliminate all disease and pain, as well as aging and even death itself. Precisely because scientific progress is a supreme achievement of human intelligence, it must not be confused with a privilege reserved for millionaires seeking immortality, while entire peoples suffer from poverty and oppression. In the face of this mirage, which promotes the illusion of human beings perfected by cybernetics and biotechnology, Christian anthropology reminds us that a limitation is not a manufacturing defect, but rather the very condition of human grandeur. #ApostolicJourney #Peru #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Painted in broad areas of colour partly derived from Japanese prints, Augustin Rouart's picture from 1946 uses a calm neutral palette that conveys an idea of tranquillity, peace, an imaginary dream world; the painting depicts Rouart's daughter at the family's apartment in Paris.

Van Hollen on the blue wave: “The notion that this was somehow a Washington-engineered victory is delusional. This was the power of the people.”
