Морозные светильники

Шерстяные светильники от Татьяны Чорнобай

Мастер-класс от автора

Нунофелтинг (нанофелтинг) - разновидность мокрого валяния, при котором к шерсти приваливаются различные ткани: в первую очередь - натуральный шелк, а также лен, хлопок, любые сетчатые материалы - тюль, кружева, сетка, натуральные декоративные волокна.

Появление светодиодных ламп, которые не нагреваются при работе, открыло новые возможности использования шерсти - теперь мы можем создавать из шерсти необычные абажуры для светильников. Об этом и будет этот урок.

Wizard's Rules by Terry Goodkind

"Wizard's First Rule: "People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."
Because of Wizards First Rule, the old wizards created Confessors, and Seekers, as a means of helping find the truth, when the truth is important enough. Darken Rahl knows the Wizard's Rules. He is using the first one. People need an enemy to feel a sense of purpose. It's easy to lead people when they have a sense of purpose. Sense of purpose is more important by far than the truth. In fact, truth has no bearing in this. Darken Rahl is providing them with an enemy, other than himself, a sense of purpose. People are stupid; they want to believe, so they do."
—Chapter 36, p.560, U.S. paperback edition

Stone of Tears reveals the Wizard's Second Rule:

The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.
—Chapter 63, p. 634, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the book as follows: "It sounds a paradox, but kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. Sometimes doing what seems right is wrong, and can cause harm. The only counter to it is knowledge, wisdom, forethought, and understanding the First Rule. Even then, that is not always enough. [...] Violation can cause anything from discomfort, to disaster, to death."

Blood of the Fold reveals the Wizard's Third Rule:
Passion rules reason.
—Chapter 43, pg number varies, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the novel as follows: "Letting your emotions control your reason may cause trouble for yourself and those around you."

Temple of the Winds gives the Wizard's Fourth Rule:
There is magic in sincere forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive.
—Chapter 41, p. 318, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the novel as follows: "Forgiving and being forgiven are powerful elements of healing for the soul. Forgiving others grants by the giving of forgiveness but more so one receives self healing by the necessity of letting go of bitterness through forgiveness of others."

The Wizard's Fifth Rule, revealed in Soul of the Fire, is:
Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.
—Chapter 28, p. 205, U.S. hardcover edition
It is explained in the novel as follows: "People will lie to deceive you from what they truly mean to do. Watching the actions they take will prove their true intentions."

Faith of the Fallen, the Wizard's Sixth Rule is revealed to be:

The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.
—Chapter 41, p. 319, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the novel as follows: "The Sixth Rule is the hub upon which all rules turn. It is not only the most important rule, but the simplest. Nonetheless, it is the one most often ignored and violated, and by far the most despised. It must be wielded in spite of the ceaseless, howling protests of the wicked. Misery, iniquity, and utter destruction lurk in the shadows outside its full light, where half-truths snare the faithful disciples, the deeply feeling believers, the selfless followers. Faith and feelings are the warm marrow of evil. Unlike reason, faith and feelings provide no boundary to limit any delusion, any whim. They are a virulent poison, giving the numbing illusion of moral sanction to every depravity ever hatched. Faith and feelings are the darkness to reason’s light. Reason is the very substance of truth itself. The glory that is life is wholly embraced through reason, through this rule. In rejecting it, in rejecting reason, one embraces death."

The Wizard's Seventh Rule, revealed in The Pillars of Creation, is:

Life is the future, not the past.
—Chapter 60, p. 549, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the novel as follows: "The past can teach us, through experience, how to accomplish things in the future, comfort us with cherished memories, and provide the foundation of what has already been accomplished. But only the future holds life. To live in the past is to embrace what is dead. To live life to its fullest, each day must be created anew. As rational, thinking beings we must use our intellect, not a blind devotion to what has come before, to make rational choices."

The Wizard's Eighth Rule, revealed in Naked Empire, is:

Deserve victory. (Translated from "Talga Vassternich" in High D'Haran, a literary fictional language)
—Chapter 61, p.626, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the novel as follows: "Be justified in your convictions. Be completely committed. Earn what you want and need rather than waiting for others to give you what you desire."

The Wizard's Ninth Rule, revealed in Chainfire, is:

A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole.
—Chapter 48, p. 489, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the novel as follows: "To believe in a contradiction is to abdicate your belief in the existence of the world around you and the nature of the things in it, to instead embrace any random impulse that strikes your fancy - to imagine something is real simply because you wish it were. A thing is what it is, it is itself. There can be no contradictions. In reality, contradictions cannot exist. To believe in them you must abandon the most important thing you possess: your rational mind. The wager for such a bargain is your life. In such an exchange, you always lose what you have at stake."

The Wizard's Tenth Rule, revealed in Phantom, is:

Wilfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.
—Chapter 12, p. 134, U.S. hardcover edition

It is explained in the novel as follows: "People who for whatever reason don't want to see the truth can be acutely hostile to it and shrill in their denunciation of it. They frequently turn their venomous antagonism on whoever dares to point out that truth ... To those seeking the truth, it's a matter of simple, rational, self interest to always keep reality in view. Truth is rooted in reality, after all, not the imagination."

The eleventh and final rule that appears in The Sword of Truth series is revealed in Confessor to be an unwritten rule. The reason is explained through the character Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander:

The rule of all rules. The rule unwritten. The rule unspoken since the dawn of history... But Barracus wanted you to know that it's the secret to using a war wizard's power. The only way to express it, to make sure that you would grasp what he was intending to tell you, was to give you a book unwritten to signify the rule unwritten.
—Chapter 65, p. 592, U.S. hardcover edition

Quotes

"Truth has advocates who seek understanding. Corrupt ideas have miserable little fanatics who attempt to enforce their beliefs through intimidation and brutality… through faith. Savage force is faith’s obedient servant. Violence on an apocalyptic scale can only be born of faith because reason, by its very nature, disarms senseless cruelty. Only faith thinks to justify it....Justice is not the exercise of hatred, it is the celebration of civilization."

-p. 576, U.S. hardcover edition

"Every person makes choices as to how they will live. Evil does not exist independent of man. Men do evil by choice. Choice involves the requirement to think, even if ineffectually. The most basic choice you can make is to think or not to think, to let others do the thinking and tell you what to do, even if they tell you to do evil. Wise choices require more, they require rational thinking. Refusal to think rationally affords one the ability to maintain the illusion of knowledge, wisdom, even sanctity while committing evil. If you follow the teaching of others who do your thinking for you and who have you do evil, the innocent victims are harmed just the same as if you choose to harm them yourself. Dead is dead. Their life is over. Teachings that defy reason defy reality; what defies reality defies life. Defying life is embracing death. Celebrating faith over reason is merely a way of denying what is, in favor of embracing any whim that strikes your fancy."

-p. 579, U.S. hardcover edition

"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else’s. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is... Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it."

-p. 603, U.S. hardcover edition

Источник: The NOT to Do List - Common Missteps and Inefficient Habits to Avoid in Foreign Language Learning

 

1. Do NOT spend more than 5% of your study time on grammar, translation, vocabulary lists or any other overt information about the language. Languages are "acquired," not learned. And acquisition by its very definition happens subconsciously over time given proper input. Which leads us to number 2.


2. Do NOT spend time on materials that are too difficult or don't interest you. Motivation is one of the greatest keys to success in foreign language learning, and motivation's favorite fuel is interest. There is a wealth of material available today for free (podcasts, YouTube, blogs, online newspapers and magazines, etc.). Poke around online and find material that excites you.


3. Do NOT study in long, infrequent sessions. After motivation, consistency is the most important factor in language learning. If you are strapped for time (and who isn't?), it is far better to study a little bit everyday than doing marathon study sessions a few times a month. For example, if you only have 2 hours free per week to commit to language studies, it is far better to do 20 minutes per day, 6 days a week than doing the whole 2 hours on one day.


4. Do NOT worry about speaking too soon. Although oral fluency is certainly the goal of most language learners, it takes the brain some time to assimilate enough input to be able to produce meaningful output. Babies listen actively to the language around them for up to 2 years before uttering a single meaningful word. Adults can get to the output stage much earlier if they follow these 10 tips, but they should not force themselves (or let themselves be forced) to speak before they are ready. This is perhaps the single greatest problem with formal language instruction: students are expected to speak long before they are ready, creating a great deal of anxiety and diminishing the student's motivation and interest.


5. Do NOT memorize vocabulary out of context. To have any chance of retaining or using new words, they must be heard or read (preferably the former) many, many times within a meaningful situation. "Narrow" listening and reading (i.e. going through a number of different articles on the same specific topic) is a good way to increase the repetition of key words in a meaningful and interesting way.


6. Do NOT try to learn new words, alphabets, ideographic characters or spelling using "rote" memory. We have 5 senses at our disposal; use them! Integrate taste, touch, smell, sound and movement as much as possible. Use "imaginative memory" to visualize connections, stories, objects, etc. The crazier the story, the easier it will be to imprint in long term memory.


7. Do NOT overly rely on the written word. Whenever possible, try to listen to a piece first before reading it. This trains you to rely on your ears first, and better follows the natural order of acquisition (remember: you learned to speak your first language long before you learned to read it!)


8. Do NOT look up words before making at least one full pass through each reading or listening material (or each section for longer pieces.) Once you have gone through once or even twice, then go back and look up words you don't know. When you don't interrupt the "semantic flow," it's easier to get a feel for the big picture. And this prevents us word-nerds getting lost in unrelated vocabulary and new linguistic connections.


9. Do NOT let the "affective filter" put a damper on your language learning. The affective filter is a fancy word for a simple and intuitive concept: your emotions and psychological state significantly affect your performance in a foreign language (or any skill-based act for that matter.) If you are bored, nervous, angry, hungry, tired, or preoccupied with the fight you had last night with your significant other, your ability to speak well in a foreign language (and acquire new language) will go down faster than the current stock market. On the other hand, I am sure you have noticed that a few brewskies can significantly improve your ability to converse in a foreign tongue. Why? Because booze (like meditation, exercise, and experience) helps lower inhibitions and boost social skills like verbal communication. If your teacher makes you feel nervous or stupid, fire them. If your language partner does not see the logic in your incorrect, but nevertheless intelligent errors, replace them. You will never make any real progress if you are afraid to speak and are not free to make all the wonderfully logical-albeit incorrect-utterances that define both infant and adult language acquisition.
10. Do NOT forget to have some fun! Language learning takes time, but it needn't be difficult. If you approach language learning with a smile instead of a grimace, you too WILL succeed!

В новом американском исправленном издании Библии слово «Дева» будет заменено выражением «молодая женщина»

http://rusk.ru/newsdata.php?idar=47050

Мэри Сперри, официальная представительница Конференции католических епископов США, сообщила о некоторых из изменений, которые появятся в «Новом американском исправленном издании Библии», которое выйдет в свет в скором будущем, сообщает Седмица.Ru со ссылкой на CWN.

В частности, слово «холокост», которое употреблялось в предыдущем переводе 1970 г. в отношении ветхозаветных жертвоприношений, заменяется выражением «жертва всесожжения».

В числе прочих новшеств наиболее спорным является перевод еврейского слова almah, употребляемого в еврейском оригинале Книги пророка Исаии (7:14): «Посему Господь Сам даст вам знамение: вот, Дева зачнёт во чреве и родит сына и наречёшь имя ему Еммануил». В издании 1970 г. оно было переведено как «Дева». В новой исправленной версии Библии это слово почему-то будет переведено как «молодая женщина».

Правда, в сноске объяснят, что данное выражение может обозначать и «Деву» и укажут на цитату из пророка Исаии в Евангелии от Матфея: «Се, Дева во чреве примет и родит Сына, и нарекут имя Ему Еммануил, что значит: с нами Бог» (Мф. 1:23).

Характерна реакция иудейского раввина Бенциона Кравитца на новый перевод. Раввин с похвалой отозвался о нем, с удовлетворением отметив именно замену слова «Дева» на выражение «молодая женщина».

Как заявил Бенцион Кравитц, «ошибки перевода использовались миссионерами для обращения евреев в Христианство».
 

ОТ АВТОРА ДНЕВНИКА: почему-то слово "исправленном" не взято в кавычки. На самом деле это не исправление, а кощунственное искажение.

А. Куинджи. «Лунная ночь на Днепре».



Глядя на картины художника, даже поверхностный зритель ощущает необычность изображенного в них света. «Иллюзия света была его богом, и не было художника, равного ему в достижении этого чуда живописи», - писал о Куинджи И.Е. Репин.

Куинджи при жизни был необыкновенно популярен. Коллекционеры, готовые платить за его картины любые деньги, буквально охотились за ними. Репин вспоминал: "Были такие, которые на коленях умоляли автора уступить им какую-нибудь картину или, наконец, этюдик его работы. Пусть художник берет что угодно, они небогаты, но они в рассрочку выплатят ему, сколько он назначит за свой мазок, этюд или набросок..." Особая судьба была уготована картине «Лунная ночь на Днепре». (Можно с детьми поговорить о первом впечатлении, которое произвела на них картина, а затем приступить к анализу картины).
Летом и осенью 1880 года А.И. Куинджи работал над новой картиной. По российской столице разнеслись слухи о феерической красоте "Лунной ночи на Днепре". На два часа по воскресеньям художник открывал желающим двери своей мастерской. Эта картина обрела поистине легендарную славу.
