Muse of history2/3/2024 This is not the jaded cynicism which sees nothing new under the sun, it is an elation which sees everything as renewed… This is the revolutionary spirit at its deepest it recalls the spirit to arms.Īnd yet this potential for renewal necessarily coexists with our shared legacy of outrage, which must remain a wakeful outrage and not a somnolent trance if we are to transcend our history. They exhort him against the fearful magnet of older civilizations… Fact evaporates into myth. Yet he has paid his accounts to Greece and Rome and walks in a world without monuments and ruins. In their exuberance he is still capable of enormous wonder. Their vision of man in the New World is Adamic. Those whom Walcott celebrates as the great poets of the New World - Neruda, Whitman, Borges - reject this model of history and instead uphold a more ennobling alternative: It refuses to recognize it as a creative or culpable force. The truly tough aesthetic of the New World neither explains nor forgives history. Because this literature serves historical truth, it yellows into polemic or evaporates in pathos. In the New World servitude to the muse of history has produced a literature of recrimination and despair, a literature of revenge written by the descendants of slaves or a literature of remorse written by the descendants of masters. Thus, as we grow older as a race, we grow aware that history is written, that it is a kind of literature without morality, that in its actuaries the ego of the race is indissoluble and that everything depends on whether we write this fiction through the memory of hero or of victim. The further the facts, the more history petrifies into myth. They know that by openly fighting tradition we perpetuate it … and that maturity is the assimilation of the features of every ancestor.įor those who take this stance, Walcott argues, “history is fiction, subject to a fitful muse, memory.” In a sentiment that calls to mind philosopher Martha Nussbaum’s incisive ideas about the relationship between agency and victimhood, he writes: They perversely encourage disfavour, but because their sense of the past is of a timeless, yet habitable, moment, the New World owes them more than it does those who wrestle with that past, for their veneration subtilizes an arrogance which is tougher than violent rejection. Those who break a tradition first hold it in awe. ![]() Half a century later, Walcott echoes her insight, turning a skeptical eye to the generation of West Indian writers who dismiss hastily and wholesale the complex colonial legacy of the New World. “Not to go onwards (in verse, as in everything) means to go backwards - that is, to leave the scene,” the great Russian poet Marina Tsvetayeva wrote on the cusp of the Russian Revolution and its attendant cultural revolution as she considered why we must intimately understand something before we can rightfully reject it. That difficult, necessary, transcendent will to weave is what the great Caribbean poet, playwright, essayist, and Nobel laureate Derek Walcott (January 23, 1930–March 17, 2017) explores in a stirring 1974 essay titled “The Muse of History,” found in his essay collection What the Twilight Says ( public library). Baldwin himself touched on this a decade later in his spectacular and timely 1970 conversation with Margaret Mead about identity, race, and the crucial difference between guilt and responsibility, where he observed: “What we call history is perhaps a way of avoiding responsibility for what has happened, is happening, in time.” Without taking such responsibility we couldn’t create that new and better world, for the great drama of its creation - like that of our self-creation - is that of weaving something new and wonderful from the tattered threads of our cultural history and convention. But we can only make a broken world over if we first closely examine its parts - that is, its pasts - and take responsibility for the conditions as well as the consequences of its brokenness.Īnd yet, too often, we flee and burrow in the comforting certitude of our history, which is not the same as our past, no matter how false and hubristic such certitude may be. ![]() “We made the world we’re living in and we have to make it over,” James Baldwin asserted in 1960 as he contemplated freedom and how we imprison ourselves.

Weathervanes for roofs2/3/2024 ![]() Built by the astronomer Andronicus, it was fitted to the ‘Tower of the Winds’ at the ancient Greek Agora in Athens, 48 B.C. Aggregates & sand Bricks & blocks Concrete & cement Additives & chemicals Insulation & damp Plasterboard Plastering supplies Coving Roofing. The earliest known example of a weathervane depicted the Greek god Triton, son of Poseidon. A cottage style weathervane is a little smaller than the traditional size, perfect for someone who has less space to display it on their roof. The weathervane has had an interesting and colourful history, branching as far back as ancient Greece. WHERE WAS THE WEATHERVANE INVENTED AND BY WHOM? It is thought that the word vane came to be used as the metal arms of modern weathervanes gradually replaced the simple cloth flags, which showed archers the direction of the wind during the medieval period. The word weathervane, more importantly the word vane, can be traced back to the Old English word fane, which directly translates to banner or flag. However, within a built-up area your weathervane may be subject to imbalance and inaccuracy as the direction, strength and consistency of wind could be affected by this obstruction. If placed and balanced correctly, the weathervane will spin freely on the axis. This unique, aerodynamic shape allows the vane to spin freely in the wind. Traditionally, the toppers of weathervanes are specifically designed to be thicker on the back than on the front, much like the wings of an airplane. One of the most common and simplest forms of weathervane instruments, the weathervane features a fletched arrow, which catches the wind and points the arrow aspect in the direction the wind is blowing from. In short, a weathervane is an instrument that is used to show the direction of where wind is blowing from. Crafted from a combination of steel and cast iron or solid copper, our weathervanes are for decorative purposes as they will not response in the same way as a wind measurement device or light sheet metal alternative would. ![]() So whether you want the traditional rooster to fix to your shed, or a Mary Poppins inspired weathervane to fix to your roof apex, we have created this helpful frequently asked questions guide to help give you a understanding of the history, the meaning and a general overview of the weathervane, to ultimately provide you with all the information as to why you should have one.Įach of our weathervanes will require some assembly and comprehensive installation instructions can be found here. Our carefully designed and crafted UK made weathervanes will offer something for all loves, tastes and interests, making our weathervanes the perfect gift. ![]() Designed to accentuate and be an extension of the home, the weathervane will add a touch of quirkiness and character to your roof, shed or cupola.

Skim coat concrete countertops2/3/2024 Pourable, self-leveling systems tend to cover floors faster with less finish work than trowel- or spray-applied products. ![]() Some overlays can go right over properly prepared surfaces others require application of a primer or bonding agent before overlay placement. Others require mixing the polymer additive and any pigmentation desired with the cement and other dry ingredients. ![]() Some products come preblended like a cake mix, and all you need to add is water. How easy is the product to mix and apply?Įase of use may also influence overlay selection, especially if you're the installer. Using more than one coloring method (such as integral color combined with broadcast pigments and stains or dyes) will also boost the final cost. The total cost of overlay installation will be higher if you are using stencils, stamping mats, or decorative engraving or sawcutting to pattern the surface. Often a higher-build material or a material containing aggregates will perform better in aggressive environments. Is the slab outdoors and subject to weather extremes and freezing and thawing? Is it a floor surface in a high-traffic area or subject to chemical, grease, and oil spills? Although most systems will stand up well to wear, chemical attack, and dirt penetration when properly installed and sealed, some are better suited than others for harsher exposure conditions. (Read more about reducing bond failures caused by moisture vapor transmission.) What conditions will the overlay be exposed to?īe sure the topping or overlay system is tough enough to withstand all the conditions it will confront. If it's too high, be sure to use a permeable overlay system that will permit the moisture vapor to escape. There are simple tests you can perform to check the moisture vapor emission rate of concrete. Too much moisture in the concrete substrate can also be a problem for some overlay systems, especially products that restrict the ability of the concrete to "breathe" or release moisture vapor as needed. Unless the surface imperfections are expertly patched or filled, they could telegraph through a thinner overlay, such as a microtoppping or skim coat. What is the condition of the existing surface?ĭoes the concrete have a lot of cracks or gouges? Is the surface out of level?

Into the waves bdo2/3/2024 ![]() The beauty of the Wavegarden Cove technology is that energy is constantly passed into the wave through the movement of the wave generator as it completes a cycle. The waves have a variety of powers and varies in strength and height between our beginner and advanced waves. In the case of The Wave, water is moved by our Wavegarden Cove technology located inside the central pier of the lake. Just like an ocean swell becomes a breaking wave when it moves over a reef or sandy beach. Waves in the surf lake are generated by moving water over a shallow profile that causes a wave to form, and then fold on itself. The size and speed of waves in the surf lake can be varied, making it suitable for all abilities from beginner to advanced.Īre the waves always the same size and type? The surf lake is capable of generating a variety of waves, from gentle, spilling beginner waves, right through to high-performance barrelling waves up to nearly 2m tall. The Wave is a brilliant training ground to improve your surfing with on consistent waves with specialist training and coaching available. The Wave takes away all these variances so surfers can surf as regularly as they choose, at a time to suit them on safe and consistent waves. Unlike other sports, surfing requires the right weather conditions, in daylight hours, at a time and place you are free to surf. Progression in surfing depends on practicing and how regularly you surf and the number of waves you get to ride. Advanced surfers should also expect to see a quick development in their surfing thanks to the consistency of the waves. The predictability of the waves generated, the length of rides, and the removal of other distractions allows beginners to focus on technique, while enjoying close supervision from our team of Wavemakers. Is it easier to learn to surf at The Wave compared to the ocean?īeginners experience can be a speedier rate of learning at The Wave compared to the ocean. The average duration of a ride is 10-13 seconds. ![]() The waves range from 0.5 to almost 2 metres with an average length or ride ranging from 35m to 85m depending on the wave and skill of the surfer. What are the different wave heights and ride lengths? We also have hot showers for after your surf so don’t forget your towel! It is a very active and intense exercise experience and therefore people only notice the cold when they first get in the water. Rest assured, if you’re coming during the Winter or on a cold day, we provide you with a really warm and thick winter wetsuit plus optional gloves, hood and boots so you won’t get cold. Our lake isn’t heated, you can check our water temperature on the website. A performance pathway exists for guests to progress through the areas of the surf lake commencing in the beginner areas, and improving their skills until they are ready to take on the advanced waves. We can accommodate brand new beginner surfers through to advanced surfers simultaneously on our waves. All designed with the abilities of the surfers in mind, as well as their safety and enjoyment. These include the advanced reef area in the lake and the beginner bay area. ![]() The lake is divided into four different surfing areas. That’s around the size of four football pitches! Our lake is measures approximately 180 metres in length by 200 metres wide at the shoreline.

Real galaga free2/3/2024 It always follows the same pattern it heads for one side or the other, with one loop in the middle. If your captured Fighter still has its Boss Galaga, it will eventually swoop down on you with its escort. Some players use this as a expert's technique to store a captured Fighter. Be very cautious about shooting at the last wave of aliens when they enter! Your captured Fighter will appear at the tag end, then take its place at the top of the formation. But all is not lost it will reappear as the last ship to enter on the next entrance screen. It will disappear off the bottom of the screen and go away. If you shoot the Boss Galaga that captured your Fighter while it is in formation, eventually the captured Fighter will swoop down on you. For instance, you can shoot at an enemy to the side of a captured Fighter, have the Fighter and its escort swoop off and run right into your shot. Be very careful where you shoot when you have a captured Fighter in formation. ![]() If you shoot your own Fighter, you get 1,000 points, but lose the extra Fighter-you don't want to do this under any circumstances. Now one of your Fighters is in the enemy formation. ( Note: Never get captured when you're playing with your last Fighter.) Don't destroy yourself If you have another Fighter, you begin playing with it. At that point, the message "FIGHTER CAPTURED" is displayed and the Boss Galaga returns to the top of the formation dragging your Fighter behind. If your Fighter is in range, it is caught and whirled up to rest beneath the Boss Galaga. If your Fighter is not in range of the beam up field, eventually it retracts and the Boss Galaga drops straight down to return to formation. ![]()
