Bios UrnThe Bios Urn project reintroduces the human being to the natural circle of life. It is the profaine ritual of regeneration and the return to nature. Bios is a mortuary urn made from biodegradable materials: coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose. Inside it contains the seed of a tree. Once the urn is planted, the seed germinates and begins to grow. The seed can be changed for a different type of seed or plant more adequate to the chosen planting place, if need be.

ELECTRICITY ~ DEATH OR DELIVERANCE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

HUMAN BEINGS HAVE INHABITED EARTH FOR AT LEAST 10,000 YEARS ~ WITHOUT ELECTRICITY: UNTIL NOW, FIRE WAS THE ONLY COMMON SOURCE OF POWER. THANKS TO NIKOLA TESLA, BY THE 192OS, HALF OF AMERICAN HOUSES HAD ELECTRICAL POWER.
BEFORE ELECTRICITY THERE WERE NO ELECTRONIC OR ELECTRO-MECHANICAL DEVICES ON EARTH.
ONLY 100 YEARS LATER (the blink of an eye, historically) THE ENTIRE PLANET AND HUMAN CIVILIZATION HAS BEEN TOTALLY TRANSFORMED. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THE ABILITY TO CONTROL, OR DESTROY, EVERY LIFE FORM ON EARTH IS POSSIBLE WITH DEVICES POWERED BY ELECTRICITY, INCLUDING THE ATOMIC BOMB, SATELLITES, TELEVISION, THE INTERNET OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPUTERS and SURVEILLANCE DEVICES.
ELECTRICITY MAY BE THE ULTIMATE FRIEND OF LIFE, USED WITH BENEVOLENCE, OR THE DEADLIEST ENEMY IN THE HANDS OF PSYCHOPATHS.
“YOU MAY LIVE TO SEE MAN-MADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.”
~ Nikola Tesla, (Madison Square Garden, 1898)

GIRL IN THE VERMEER PAINTINGS

This picture is a modern spoof on the world famous painting by the 16th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer.   The girl in the legendary painting (as well as in several other of his paintings) is his second daughter, Elizabeth!  Vermeer never hired models — he painted only family and friends.  It doesn’t take a cosmetic surgeon to compare the features of the women in the majority of his paintings to observe that the same women are being painted in their own home, again and again in different poses, settings, lighting and clothing.  Most of his paintings feature his wife, Catharina, who was not only his constant accomplice in creating a family, she was his foremost ally in his life as an artist!

The painting named (by others), “Girl with a pearl earring“, as well as “The girl with a red hat”, and “The girl with a flute”, and others, are all of his second daughter, Elizabeth, who was a teenager when they were painted.  He used her as the model for a series of very small “tronie” or facial portraits, which were popular at the time.

These miniature “head shots” were especially well suited to the use of the camera obscura to create what we know now to have a photographic quality, rendering the light and perspective differently than the unaided lens of the human eye perceives it.

To learn all of the details about the women who posed for Johannes Vermeer in all of his famous paintings, read the book VERMEER: PORTRAITS OF A LIFETIME, by Lawrence R. Spencer.
