The rich masonic history of Cuba is so extensive that we are forced to show in this writing a summary of all of them, that is, the most relevant points, which allow us to show the world how great it has been, is and will be. fraternity in Cuba. Freemasonry is not a political organization, although sometimes its members were persecuted for political reasons. Nor is it a religious sect, although its adherents confess an absolute faith towards its principles. In the past the Catholic Church treated them as heretics and many monarchies considered them a fatal threat to their crowns because of their insistent vocation to oppose any religious or political tyranny.
However, even today, when humanity seems to have lost its sanity, the freemasons meet and work regularly with the hope of redeeming it.
But, undoubtedly, Freemasonry has already left behind its most glorious moments, when the names of great writers, musicians, and thinkers prestige their ranks. Far away has been that golden age when Mozart wrote his Masonic cantata "The praise of friendship", inspired by the ideals of brotherhood, or French revolutionaries shouted through the streets of Paris the freemason motto of Liberté, Egalité, Fraternite But from George Washington to Benito Juárez (without forgetting Walt Disney), the social influence that this fraternal association has had on modern history is undeniable.
In Cuba, Freemasonry also has an illustrious past, inextricably linked to the formation of nationality itself and in its ranks military men who then fought for the independence of the country.
Perhaps many think that their ancient rites and liturgies no longer agree with the postmodern world and that, as an institution that aims to achieve the improvement of society, but without promoting social changes, it is obsolete. Paradoxically, Freemasonry on the island now has a growing membership, so it is not idle to reflect on the role of this institution in the history of the nation and its undeniable resurgence at present.
The first article, paragraph I of the Cuban Masonic Constitution states that "Freemasonry is the organic institution of morality", morality understood as respect for oneself and the society in which it is based, and this criterion represents the aspiration to a style of life for which Freemasons must be distinguished, not only within the fraternity, but also in any environment where it is found.

Historical Sketch
There has been much speculation about the birth of Masonic fraternities. Some argue that Freemasonry dates back 4,000 years A.N.E. and consider as an illustrious ancestor Hiram Abif, the master of constructive arts that King Tiro sent to the biblical Solomon to direct the building of the temple consecrated to Jehovah.
Others attribute to it an origin where the druidic precepts, bards and Christians, legends and Germanic myths, mixed with the mysteries of Greece and Egypt, are amalgamated.
But the most generalized opinion affirms that Masonic societies descend from the builders' corporations of the Middle Ages, and that these in turn were possibly the successors of the colleges founded by Numa Pompilio, second legendary king of Rome, who reigned from 714 to 671 A .NE
In 1717 the four London lodges, heirs to those medieval guilds, constitute the "English Grand Lodge", which marks the birth of modern Freemasonry that spread rapidly throughout Europe and reached greater strength at the end of the eighteenth century, mainly in England, Germany and France, where very soon the word Mason was synonymous with revolutionary: the emblem of honor raised by the freemasons was the same trilogy acclaimed by the French who took the Bastille in 1789. As if that was not enough, that currency also inspired the rise of the Spanish liberals – among which there was a good number of freemasons – that aspired to regenerate the Iberian nation and to reestablish the Fundamental Code of Cádiz in 1820. It reached such a point that there were "republican" and "realistic" lodges "according to your tendencies.
This aspect of Freemasonry, considered irregular due to its meddling in political affairs -and which according to Masonic orthodoxy distorts the true objective of the organization and far from benefiting it, harms it-, at a certain moment it had a great influence on the secret societies that they were trained in Cuba, where they were transmitters of the doctrines that perfectly fit the separatist ideas and the conspiratorial aims of the Creoles, already in the dawn of the last century.
First Cuban Lodges
Although some Masonic activity existed in Cuba since the end of the 18th century, led by the French emigrants from Haiti, it was not until the 19th century that the first lodge was founded on the island by a Frenchman living in Santo Domingo, and named Joseph Cerneau. "The Temple of the Theological Virtues No. 103" was established in Havana, with a patent letter from the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, in the year 1804 of the Vulgar Era, and this is followed by the founding of other lodges such as "L`Amitié "and" Benefice Concorde ". Although Cerneau had to leave the country quickly, accused of revolutionary instigator; the freemasonry that he had inaugurated, spread rapidly.
It was Masons of democratic ideas that fostered the first plot for the emancipation of the country in 1809. But the way things happen in the swashbuckling movies, the conspiracy was discovered by the denunciation of a priest who had no scruples in betraying the secret of confession of a devout fearful lady for the life of her husband involved in the facts. One of the conspirators, the lawyer Joaquin Infante, freemason of separatist ideas, came to elaborate even what is considered the first Draft Constitution for the future Republic of Cuba, a document that carried in his spirit the most advanced ideas of the era, but who was not lucky enough to fulfill his destiny.
Thus, the political persecution is also joined by the decree issued in 1812 by the Regency Council of Spain and the Indies, which declared the Fraternal Order illegitimate in the overseas possessions of the Metropolis, and since then Freemasonry is considered a crime of state.
With the reestablishment of the constitutional regime in Spain, Cuban Freemasonry begins to reorganize. In 1818 the first body of High Grades was created in Cuba, the Great Consistory of the 32nd degree of the Old and Accepted Scottish Rite, founded with a French patent by Luis Juan Lorenzo de Clouet D 'Obernay, which brought together three symbolic lodges that went to work for the Scottish system.
Two years later, from 5 symbolic lodges, the "Grand Lodge of the Rite of York" was founded, around which the criollos were mainly grouped. Later, by successive mergers of this and other symbolic bodies is constituted a Sovereign Grand Lodge representative of 66 lodges, which gives unity and independence to the symbolism, which also represents an act of rebellion towards the Grand National Orient of Spain, who intended to exercise his dominion over Freemasonry on the Island.
New Persecutions
After the return of absolutism in Spain, the colony-metropolis contradictions are sharpened and conspiratorial airs go back, which in many cases have a clear Masonic roots. This was the case of the Conspiracy of "Soles y Rayos de Bolívar", headed by the Havana-born José Francisco Lemus y Escámez, colonel of the Colombian armies and whose purpose was to found the Republic of Cubanacán. Most of those involved were Freemasons and the organization itself had a warp and thought based on Masonic ideals. Captain General Francisco Dionisio Vives penetrates the organization and the complicated ones are prosecuted by conspirators, although the Masonic affiliation of the accused is not mixed. According to Vives himself there were 12 thousand Masons on the Island at that time.
In 1830 a new cause is opened, this time by infidelity and freemasonry, to the conspirators of the "Great Legion of the Black Eagle". Apparently with this process closes the first great cycle of struggles to make the island independent and to organize Freemasonry, because in 1834 the lodges are declared illegal again and all traces of Freemasonry organized in Cuba are lost. The pro-independence movement works in secret organizations with a certain Masonic character but they are not properly Masonic lodges.
Freemasonry and Independence
In 1862, Dr. Vicente Antonio de Castro founded the "Grand Orient of Cuba and the Antilles" (GOCA), with the supposed objective of regularizing Freemasonry.
According to the historian Eduardo Torres Cuevas, the liturgies of degree 33 created by Vicente A. de Castro were essentially socio-political and not only philanthropic-fraternal. As a result, in the 60's the GOCA became the transmitter of a "democratic, laical, republican and independent project that channeled and allowed to give dimension to the concerns of the youth of its time" and was extremely important as a prelude to the outbreak revolutionary of 68, as it would provide two notable elements: "a secret organization that served as a link to those who prepared the insurrection" and "a harmonically structured proposal for the transformation of colonial society into a new and independent", because when drafting These liturgies, its author made it clear that it was a system of social pedagogy and its objective was to train men capable of responding to the social problems of the country.
And for that reason the Mason is warned, already from the first degree, that: "it could very well happen that you find yourself on the occasion of having to fight with weapons in your hand to defend virtue, innocence or country, then it will be I must not retreat or tremble. "
Some of the principles contained in the 27th degree are also revealing and that according to Vicente Antonio de Castro, he had to defend and even conquer Freemasonry: sovereignty of the people, freedom of work, religious, and person, sovereignty of nations, right of assembly and social equality, among others.
Due to the contradictions that had to do both with a methodological problem of functioning and with the own political tendencies existing in the country, regular Freemasonry is radically opposed to this Masonic body and finally the Supreme Council of the United States. disqualifies the GOCA for lacking due authorization for its foundation and because its purposes -according to this Council- were "entirely political".
But the seed was planted, because the most outstanding figures of the 68 began in the GOCA. Maceo, belonged to him since 1864, Agramonte and other illustrious Camaguey began in the lodge "Tínima No. 16", and in Bayamo "La Estrella Tropical No. 19" grouped among others Perucho Figueredo, Francisco Vicente Aguilera and Carlos Manuel de Céspedes who later founded under dispensation the lodge "Buena Fe", in Manzanillo, and whose library was considered one of the most complete in Cuba regarding the subject of Freemasonry.
When these men go to the jungle and elaborate the documents that will make known the objectives and projection of their actions, they have as a point of reference the ideas that had already been handled in the GOCA liturgies.
At the outbreak of the war of 68 increases the hostility of political and religious authorities to Freemasonry and, although the institution can not be considered as a homogeneous whole, due to the contradictions and splits that suffers at this time, the whole body suffers the consequences of the chasing. Many Freemasons are imprisoned and the Grand Master of the "Grand Lodge of Columbus", José Andrés Puente Badell, is shot, as well as other brothers, with no other charge than the crime of Freemasonry.
As a result of the persecution they recess for a time the works of the "Grand Orient of Columbus" in both branches, symbolic and philosophical, until its reconstitution was undertaken in 1871.
During the war
There is reference to the fact that despite the harsh conditions imposed by the war, so-called militia lodges were founded to be constituted in the middle of the jungle: "Tínima 16", "Camagüey" and "La Independencia", the latter founded by Céspedes in 1870.
According to testimonies, the "Independencia" lodge functioned for almost three years, and the way of celebrating the celebrations was always sought, respecting the Masonic ritual as if they were in the most sumptuous temple. The tools were transported in a mule that they called "the Mason" due to their functions, until during a skirmish the mule fell into enemy hands; but this lodge did not disappear as much because of the adverse conditions for its operation, as for the internal struggles that divided the top leaders of 68 and that ultimately influenced the failure of the insurrection.
The persecution of the Spanish authorities to the most prominent freemasons in their independence ideas reaches unsuspected limits when former members of the "Buena Fe" lodge are tried for the crime of Masonry and Céspedes is condemned in absentia, as Venerable Master of this lodge, to 11 years of major prison, although he had already died in 1873.
Regular masonry was reorganized in 1871, when the "Gran Oriente de Colón" was reconstituted, which is recognized by the "Grand Orient of Spain". In spite of this, in 1875 the representative of the great Orients of America, Ramón Bru Lassús, declared the official relations interrupted and immediately proceeded to found lodges in Havana, invading the jurisdiction and without faculties for it; It established the workshops "Cuba Española", "Unión Ibérica" ??and "Hijos de Covadonga", claiming that it cut the resources that the "Gran Oriente de Colón" secretly sent to the Creoles who fought against the metropolis. In that same year this incident is resolved, as Bru is dismissed from his position and relations are resumed. He is suspected of political intentions and personal gain.
The Masonic Convention of Lausanne held in 1875, attended by a representative from Cuba, made important agreements for the development of Cuban Freemasonry. One would be the recognition of the regular and legitimate existence of the "Supreme Council of Columbus" as a sovereign and independent power, regardless of whether the island was not politically of Spain. In the second place it is stated in this Congress that the Supreme Councils were empowered to stop exercising the command in the three symbolic degrees, which favors the signing of a Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Recognition of powers and attributions, between the "Supreme Council de Colón "and the" Symbolic Grand Lodge of Colón ".
On August 1, 1876, the "Grand Lodge of the Island of Cuba" was founded in the west of the country by Aurelio Almeida and González.
To become strong this new body signs a pact of mutual respect with the Spanish Orients. In spite of this, in 1878 the members of the Grand Lodge are accused of being disaffected to the Spanish regime and are required to be held accountable for their actions. The response of the great teacher Gregorio González Amador and Aurelio Almeida as a great secretary is courageous, when they are clarified that they lack authority over the Grand Lodge and, as a consequence, a few days after the Zanjón Pact, they break relations with the "Grand Orient" from Spain".
During the Pact of Zanjón, regular masonry had to respect the political government of the nation. However, during this period, the "Obreros de la Luz" lodge was founded with railway elements, among whose members was Julio Sanguily, who collaborated with the revolution carrying documents and messages for the preparation of the Chiquita War and later He provided help to Calixto García for his departure from the country. Also for similar purposes, the "Plus Ultra" and "Evolución" lodges were created, the latter bringing together many of the restless young people of the Acera del Louvre.
It is at this time when the symbolic Freemasonry is restructured, because after successive mergers between the Grand Lodges, in 1891 the "Grand Lodge of the Island of Cuba" emerges as the sole and sovereign symbolic organism. The following year is also achieved the integration of a single Supreme Council to govern Freemasonry High Grades.
Lodges in Exile
In the emigration, fraternal nuclei were also established that contributed much to the cause of independence. In Cayo Hueso the loggia "Felix Varela No. 64" was founded and later the "Francisco Vicente Aguilera", from which it is elected as V.M. the patriot Fernando Figueredo Socarrás. In New York he works "La Fraternidad No. 387", to which Benjamín J. Guerra and Gonzalo de Quesada y Aróstegui, treasurer and secretary, respectively, of the Cuban Revolutionary Party founded by Martí, who in turn had started in Spain, would belong. , from very young, in the lodge "Harmony".
With all these data, it is to be assumed that not only were the cigar makers a great collaborator of the Martian effort, but that the exiled Freemasons were also an important pillar in the preparation of the necessary war.
Later, when the 1895 uprising was decided, it was Juan Gualberto Gómez, patriot and mason, whom Martí appointed to start the uprising in Cuba and illustrious patriots and freemasons were the signers of the Montecristi Manifesto.
The Cuban Flag
The flag that today represents the Cuban nationality had flown for the first time on May 19, 1850 in the Bay of Cárdenas, where Narciso López disembarked at the head of an expedition of 600 men. The company failed in its objectives but Lopez would repeat his attempt, which would eventually cost him his life, but his death would consecrate the flag that he had created with so much love.
Today it is quite known who was the author of the banner although its genesis is less publicized, inspired by Masonic symbology.
According to the testimony of Cirilo Villaverde, at the beginning of 1849, several Cubans who supported the separatist cause were accustomed to meet in the house of the also freemason and poet Teurbe Tolón. In one of these gatherings, ideas for the development of the Cuban pavilion began to be handled. Narciso López proposed three blue stripes in a white field, representative of the three military regions in which the country was divided. For the red color, according to Villaverde (…) "López, who was a freemason, naturally chose the equilateral triangle", which symbolizes the greatness of the power that assists the Great Architect of the Universe and whose equal sides allude to the Masonic symbol of freedom, equality, fraternity and the tripartite division of democratic power.
The five-pointed star signifies the perfection of the Masonic master: strength, beauty, wisdom, virtue and charity. The flag also includes in its integration the three symbolic numbers. The three (three blue stripes) represents the perfect harmony; the five, the result of the sum of all the strips, means the vivifying spirit, which perpetuates nature; and the seven that is obtained by adding the triangle and the star is a number considered divine by the Jews and the Greeks.
Freemasonry in the Republic
At the end of the Spanish colonial period, Cuban Freemasonry begins a new stage. Throughout the previous period he has had to struggle to define the boundaries between Scottism and symbolism, has faced political persecution, and in many opportunities has facilitated the conspiratorial activities of the Creoles and, only now, after four years of forced recess , but favored by the new circumstances, will be able to take care of putting order in his own house and to specify his destiny.
In the magazine La Gran Lodge of June 1, 1900, an article appears that, although limited in its objectives, would define the main line of work that they intend to carry out to contribute to the recovery of the country: "… The mission of Freemasonry it must be purely of advice, its direct power reaches only its members, its sphere of action in society can not go, as auxiliary, beyond education and charity … "
Although the masonic work resumed, one of the greatest difficulties that the members had to solve was the lack of resources, the institution devoted itself to creating decent conditions for its facilities and undertook various works that responded to the exposed interests.
In 1917 Freemasons saved from bankruptcy to the asylum of children and elderly La Misericordia that exists to this day with the name of "Masonic National Home Llansó" and later assume works such as the shelter of the House of Charity of Matanzas and Children's Asylum José María Casal, besides the creation of the Masonic Relief, as a way to help the relatives of deceased Masons, which still exists today.
Likewise, various institutions are created, such as the Masonic Groups, the School Shoe and the Masonic Costume – both with the aim of helping public schools and families with limited resources – the Masonic National School, for orphaned children of Masonic parents, and the José Martí Masonic University, all as a way to cooperate with the cause of education in the country.
The Association of Young Hopes of the Fraternity (AJEF) was also organized, with the purpose of ensuring the moral, physical and intellectual development of young people.
From the organizational point of view, the recovery of Cuban Freemasonry is palpable. The Grand Lodge and the Supreme Council of the 33rd degree for the Republic of Cuba ratify and extend the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Recognition that existed between them, and in 1947 some divisions that internally weakened both bodies were definitively solved.
In the decade of the fifties, the Grand Temple, the headquarters of the Grand Lodge, was built, where today there are important facilities such as the Masonic Museum – which holds various objects related to the history of the country – and the Library of the Grand Lodge.
The prestige and social recognition that Masonry achieved allows it to increase its influence on the life of the country. This is demonstrated by his opposition to the Education Reform Project of 1956, which called for the inclusion of religious education in official education. Consequently, with their principles of religious freedom, the Freemasons issued a statement in defense of secularism and came out successful in their claim.
Freemasonry and Revolution
During the first years freemasonry supports the new government and its revolutionary measures, but the radicalization of the process results in some of its high officials leaving the country. The Ex-Grand Master J. J. Tarajano founded in the United States the Grand Lodge of Cuba in exile, which was recognized at the Conference of Grand Masters held in Washington.
The Cuban Freemasons proclaim that the Grand Lodge based in Havana is the only and true representation of the Cuban regular masonry and this fact is finally recognized in the V Conference of the Inter-American Masonic Confederation.
During this time, Freemasonry began to face difficulties: they significantly decreased their financial resources and saw limited many of their private philanthropic efforts, due to the profound changes that have occurred in the country. To this is added the exodus to the outside of a part of its members, while very few young people were interested in entering the institution and preferred to devote themselves entirely to a process that promised to fulfill with all that the freemasons have always raised as his biggest currency: "Freedom, Equality, Fraternity". Of 34 thousand members in 1959, the figure had been reduced to 19,582 in 1981. But when it seemed that the fate of Freemasonry in Cuba was to languish quietly until its total extinction, signs of recovery begin to register. Since 1982, there is a slight growth that will not stop until the present, when its membership amounts to more than 28 thousand members.
In recent years the international participation of Freemasonry in Cuba has grown significantly and the recognition it receives in the universal concert of the Institution: the Grand Lodge of Cuba (through its then Grand Master) served as Vice President of the Confederation Masonic Interamericana years ago, presiding over the Second Zone that includes the Grand Lodge of the Caribbean.
Freemasons are sure that, despite its ancient rites, Freemasonry is not anachronistic: for the ethics of its postulates, for its collectivism and because its purpose of seeking the improvement of man is inexhaustible. Hence, his optimism in assessing the future of Freemasonry on the Island, "… the institution that has contributed the most elements to the independence, freedom, culture and progress of Cuba …"

Fractal Tensegrity 2007
Collaborator: Woytek Sepiol, designer
Château de Dravert, La Guiche, France
Unique piece
Steel and aluminium Sculpture
Courtesy: Barnoud Gallery, Dijon and Seconde Modernité Gallery
Collection: Geotec
Technical production: Voxels Productions
Fractal Tensegrity is a monumental sculpture created in 2007, with the designer Woyteck Sepiol. Consisting of eleven aluminium tripods. At the origin of Fractal Tensegrity, another sculpture was created by the artist for the port of Marseille in 2001. Entitled Nuage Fractal, this 20 m high, 28 m long and 28 m wide room gives the appearance of a chaotic external structure, a kind of giant mikado. The intertwining of the cables and aluminium tubes that compose it seems to multiply infinitely, creating a play of scale and breaking with the classical perspective. These impressive creations were created using the concept of "tensegrity", invented by Buckminster Fuller. The term itself results from the contraction of the words voltage and integral, and refers to a construction system characterized essentially by the continuity of the tensioned networks. The construction of tensegrity systems is based on two basic elements: bars and cables. The bars remain discontinuous with each other, while the cables form a continuous configuration. The bars work mainly on compression, the cables on traction. The former are inserted into the latter, and the result is a balanced whole.

This year, I decided to celebrate Chinese New Year at Park Chinois in Mayfair. Although my friends and I are regulars of this restaurant, we are still excited to try out their special Chinese New Year menu.
The affection I speak of is for the feel of the place, the atmosphere. I love the concept of Park Chinois and the Old World Charm of bygone Shanghai. It always feels glamorous to be here and the live music performance is always excellent.
For this year's Chinese New Year, we were greeted with a red envelope with a cute illustration of the "Pig of Prosperity" each. Inside was our personal prediction for 2019. Mine was titled "Wealth Prediction", whilst my friend's was "Love Prediction". We all had a smile on our faces after reading what was inside. This was certainly a fun start. I do hope my prediction comes true!
We decided to order a signature cocktail each. Mine was "Smokey Yamatumi", a Japanese whiskey based cocktail mixed with sencha tea infused americano, persimmon syrup, plum bitter and oak smoke. It was a mature, aromatic cocktail with perfect balance of woody note of oak smoke and fruity plum and persimmon flavours.
Our first appetizer was the hot and sour soup (£9), which was pretty good. This was not the best I ever had, but certainly above average.
Being a Chinese New Year, we decided to order Park Chinois' signature noodles dish, "Park Carbonara" – Inaniwa Udon with sea urchin, 65° poached egg and guanciale (£35). Noodles are an essential part of a Chinese New Year meal because the long length signifies longevity, a symbol of good health for the year ahead. I have to admit that I was not too impressed when I first tried this dish back in 2015 when the restaurant first opened, because of the lack of sea urchin pieces (I love sea urchins!). This time, though, I was much more satisfied with the amount of sea urchins presented on the dish. We finished this pretty quickly together with a second round of cocktails, Rouge Intime.
The highlight of our dinner was the special "Sweet Piggy Buns", which certainly lived up to its name. These pink piggy steamed custard buns were almost too adorable to eat! The lava-style custard filling was a good balance between sweet and saltiness. The bun itself was soft and moist. Little piggies turned out to taste even better than they look. Sadly, none of them survived.
For those of you who want to try Park Chinois' famous "Duck de Chine", aka Peking Duck (£98 for a whole duck), advanced order by telephone at the time you book a table is recommended. If you order it at the table, you will have to wait at least 1 hour for it. In my case on a previous visit, we had to wait over 1.5 hours.
Although the duck was indeed cooked to perfection in traditional style, I must say that it was not really worth the price tag. There are better pecking ducks in London such as Min Jiang at Royal Garden Hotel (£72 for a whole duck). I found the duck skin at Park Chinois to oily, and I did not like it that there was no option to choose on how the duck meat should be cooked. Traditionally, duck meat would be cooked separately, and we would have some options of how we want the duck meat served.
Overall, Park Chinois always deliver a perfect balance of good food, good drinks and great music in a glamourous and fun atmosphere. So, it is always a good choice for an evening out with friends.

Oh Gawd, Not Another One!
Statement Number One: "Meet my significant other of thirty years, my darling and one and only (insert name), who is also a poet."
Statement Number Two: "Meet (insert name), the poet (or musician, or artist, or actress) I met last week."
If you chose Statement #1, that's wonderful. Have a happy life in your candy-coated fairyland. If you chose Statement Number Two, your feet are firmly planted in reality. Oh cheer up. I've written a list for you. Lane 1, no waiting. Here it is:
Fireblossom's Progression of Reactions From Women Receiving
Poem #1) Omg!!! WOW! You wrote this for me? Omg. You are too sweet for words. I'm honored, truly. No one has ever written anything for me before! I'm going to keep this forever. MMmmmmmwahhhhhhhh!
Poem #3) My god you are brilliant. This is amazing. Thank you! I love you, Fireblossom!
Poem #6) Another one? For me? Omg. What are you doing? As always, I love it. Thank you. Really.
Poem #10) Wow. Thanks.
Poem #13) I'll read it when I get a chance. I promise. I love them. Gotta run!
Poem 15) Are you sure you gave it to me? I don't remember, I must be going crazy. I'll look for it. If you gave it to me, I'm sure it's here somewhere.
Poem 16) *sigh* You really write a lot of poems.
Poem 17) I showed it to my friend Sue, and she thought it was really good. We're, um, just friends.
Poem 18) Hi, this is Jane. I can't come to the phone right now, so leave a message at the beep. Bye!
Poem 20) Undeliverable as addressed. Addressee unknown.
5 years later, at a social gathering) Omg. You! Are you still writing that stuff, poems, or whatever? I think you gave me a few of them. Wow, so, (voice going flat) are you still just...writing poems, or... (voice enthusiastic again) Oh hey! Come over here. I want you to meet my husband! He's an engineer!

Here at Esqué, we have just one purpose, and that is to make an exceptional difference to you when it comes to your beauty treatments, health & wellbeing...We can't wait to treat you. We offer a wide range of treatments including massage, ear candles, dry floatation, pregnancy massage, facials, facial peels, skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, CACI, jowl treatment, eye treatments, manicures, pedicures, gelish, spray tanning, lash & brow tinting,eyebrow shaping, threading, waxing, advanced intimate waxing, electrolysis for hair removal, advanced electrolysis for skin tags, warts & facial thread veins plus some other 'blemishes'. Many of our treatments can be offered as a course; a group of treatments to maximise results and save you pennies.
Our fabulous staff, luxury décor, treatment expertise and experience in the beauty industry (nearly twenty years now but shhhh, don't tell anyone!) have won us several awards that we are truly proud of - almost as proud as we are of our local reputation.
We are careful to source what we believe are some of the best products on the professional market and we strive to work with cruelty free, ethical brands. Environmental considerations are very important to us. We use a green-energy supplier and recycle wherever possible. Recently, we have started to look at ways of reducing our plastic waste, our first step being to move only to paper stemmed cotton buds which are a little more expensive but we believe that't a small price to pay for helping our planet!
We offer 10 treatment rooms in the heart of Leamington Spa so there are quite a few Esqué Angels on hand to look after you. We invest in our team and continue their training and development which is why you'll see that we have different levels of therapists. They are all fully trained & qualified in the treatments they deliver but our Senior and Expert Therapists are extra experienced and, because of that, they cost a little more!
We aren't cheap - we offer quality and we don't like to cut corners. We hope to welcome you into our little urban haven in the very near future ... until then, eat well, make time to relax and remember to treat yourself because you really are worth it.
My electrolysis was just as I expected. The technician was really helpful and kind. I would recommend her completely.
Excellent customer service and best price.

Correct Form
Hi Everyone,
So every day I am asked the same question, what is the correct way to word our wedding invitations?
These days there are all sorts of families.
Couples are paying for their own weddings, some people might be getting married for a second time etc.
However, if you wish to know the old fashioned formal way of address (for parents where both parents are married) it is as follows:
Mr and Mrs John Standish
request the pleasure of
your company at the marriage
of their daughter
Mr Christopher John Herbert
At St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge
On Saturday 15th March 2016
at 3 o'clock
and afterwards at
The Hyde Park Hotel, London SW1
The RSVP address is then included in the bottom left hand corner of the invitation.
Much love and happy planning,

The « Electronic Democracy » research network (DEL) was created by Gérard Loiseau and Stéphanie Wojcik in June 2002. Until June 2013, the network was hosted by the CERTOP Lab under the supervision of Gérard Loiseau. From then, it is attached to the CEDITEC Lab (UPEC) and directed by Stéphanie Wojcik. The goal of the DEL Network is to share and promote researches related to the transformations of government practices in contemporary political regimes with regards to the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The researchers belonging to the DEL Network come from various academic disciplines and geographic areas.
DEL Membership is free and open to all researchers, regardless of their institutional status.
DEL is an interdisciplinary research network which includes researchers coming from political science, information and communication sciences, sociology, as well as IT, law, geography, urban planning, economics and management, philosophy, whose researches address the critical study of "electronic democracy".
The various scientific events organized by DEL are organized in partnership with two research laboratories: ELICO (Université Lyon 2) and COSTECH (University of Technology of Compiègne) :
-the annual meeting which bring together network members, that happens in December every year, and that allows them to discuss their respective work ;
-the seminars which provide a forum for discussion of researches on the issues and topics of interest to the network.
DEL is an international network and contributes to the organization of events in conjunction with international research centers and associations (IPSA or ECPR for instance) and has organized an international symposium in June 2013 called « Online Political Participation and Its Critics ».
DEL has three mailing lists: info-del, dedicated for network members and news-del 1 and 2 for DEL « friends » (people interested in e-democracy but who do not want or can not become a member) and a twitter account, @reseauDEL.

Mini Enterprise
2nd November 2018
Today the children of Key Stage 2 had a mini enterprise activity. Every single house team was split into groups of 8-10 pupils. Our task was to make/manufacture an Easter basket alongside 3 eggs. Before the week of work started we had to get a starter pack with our 150 Monopoly money,that helped us make our prototype, choose jobs, choose the company name and a logo. After the teachers agreed that our prototype was good enough they let us sell more of our product. By the end of the week we had the accountants sort out our profit or loss. The children of Key Stage 2 will find out which house won in Special Assembly today. It will be a very close competition but there can only be one winning team.
At first it was very stressful but once we all knew what to do, we got the hang of it. The most important part of today that we learnt was that arguing just slows things down and teamwork makes a dream work.

Lack of capacity is hamstringing the environmental criminal justice system and, if not addressed, the cracks in the system could lead to complete collapse despite South Africa arguably having some of the best environmental laws in the world.
The problem, then, is not the law, but rather how it's translated and appreciated and then applied to cases at hand.
Environmental affairs spokesperson Albi Modise noted in September there were 530 rhino poaching-related cases on the court roll involving 750 accused and close to 300 trial-ready cases.
"The sheer volume of arrests being made within South Africa of rhino poachers and rhino horn traffickers justifies the need for additional capacity to effectively and timeously prosecute and adjudicate these cases," said Modise.
"The DEA would support the establishment of specialised and dedicated environmental courts as well as more dedicated prosecutors for environmental cases, particularly in hot spot areas," Modise said. "There is also a need to increase the number of dedicated specialist investigators, given the significant number of cases."
A recent spat between the Kruger National Park (KNP) and Skukuza Court magistrate Simon Fankomo saw Fankomo accused of giving bail to repeat offenders and minimal sentences.
Until the spat hit the headlines, Mpumalanga had enjoyed a 98% conviction rate.
KNP spokesperson Isaac Phaahla said there had been a "a fruitful meeting with the Judge President in Mpumalanga, and we are waiting for a formal update on the way forward".
"We need specialised detectives, forensics experts, money laundering experts, prosecutors, magistrates, judges and above all people less tolerant of criminals," Phaahla said.
In September, amaBhungane reported KwaZulu-Natal regional court president Eric Nzimande was "suspected of offering acting magistrate positions in the regional courts in exchange for cash, which he seemingly needed to feed a gambling habit".
Savingthewild.com's Jamie Joseph reported on November 3 that Nzimande had been suspended. Joseph has also alleged he had a history of letting rhino poachers go free with "a slap on the wrist".
The NPA's Monica Nyuswa admitted there were not enough specialist prosecutors.
"This is exacerbated by the fact that due to budgetary constraints the NPA has not been able to fill vacant positions," Nyuswa told The Citizen.
Nyuswa said the NPA was reviewing some of the judgments at Skukuza court to decide whether to take them on appeal.
It's another burden for the prosecuting authority which has to map a way through the output of SA's violence and the need to address wildlife crime coming up hard against the 2018 Global Peace Index, which put the cost of violence in SA at R1.2 trillion per year.
As the rhino-poaching crisis demonstrated, there was a tipping point where demand outstripped supply and, when a resource is gone, it is gone.
"We can't have anarchy against our natural heritage and continue with business as usual," said Phaahla.
The issues were highlighted recently by what is possible.
Patrick Nkuna was arrested in 2015 in the KNP during an extended ground and air follow up anti-poaching operation. Shortly before his arrest, he shot at a SANParks helicopter.
Nkuna was charged with 12 counts, including four counts of attempted murder, trespassing in a national park and possession of an illegal firearm. He was handed 33 years behind bars this month.
Illegal wildlife trade monitor Traffic's Dr Richard Thomas said more resources were needed globally.
"All too often, criminals perceive wildlife crime as a low risk, high reward activity and unless there are adequate resources put in to make it a high risk, low reward activity with significant penalties if caught, that perception will persist," Thomas said.
The cost of poaching
Wildlife crime has been estimated globally in 2017 by Global Financial Integrity at nearly R300 billion a year – more than R8 million a day.
In South Africa, the number is a little harder to pin down, with pangolin scales, elephant tusk, rhino horn, and abalone being among the most commonly poached items.
Traffic found of an estimated 37 tonnes of rhino horn poached between 2010 and 2016, only five tons were recovered.
A white rhino front horn can weigh up to 4kg, while elephant tusks can weigh anywhere from a few kilograms to nearly 100kg, depending on the size of the elephant killed – and poachers are not picky.
More than 50 tons of pangolin scales were recovered in 2013, according to a study, Assessing African Pangolin Exploitation, by DJ Ingram and others.
At up to R100,000 per kilogram of horn, more than R10,000/kg for ivory, and nearly R8,500/kg for pangolin scales being paid by end users, wildlife crime pays for the people in control.
The Institute for Security Studies reported last year South Africa spent R200 million annually and employed "nearly 450 rangers just to protect the Kruger National Park, a magnet for tourists who marvel at one of Africa's best-preserved wilderness areas".
A report in September by Traffic found an average 2,000 tons of abalone were bagged annually by poachers – 20 times the legal take – in an illicit industry estimated to be worth nearly R850 million a year.
That's a lot of abalone, and the statistics are the very tip of the iceberg.
The problem is, nobody knows the actual scope of the problem.
Poaching and seizure data make up the bulk of available statistics on organised wildlife crime but have a number of limitations, stated an Enact report, titled Guns, Poison and Horns.
"These data are also typically biased towards rhino and elephant, while the poaching of other species such as abalone, big cat and pangolin are not well accounted for in official statistics."

Portico Revisited @ AlexandraThe shadow of the Ultimate Fries from Portico must have been haunting me too much, I had to return with a huge gang just to tick it off my lust-list. It still amazes me how it is not flooded with people given their service level, food quality and value for money dishes.
Then again, I do enjoy a chill place and would prefer if I did not have to fight for a seat.
Dilemma I say.
Ultimate Fries ($46)
800 grams of straight cut fries with a ridiculously indulgent topping of parmesan shavings, black truffles and gold flakes. The only difference between their more manageable portions is the expensive adornments but otherwise, the single portions are good enough. For the kick of it, this had to be the most extravagant fries I have ever shared and well, food always tastes better when shared.
Not such a side kick of a mushroom truffle cream sauce, infact this was fingerlicking delicious.
Romaine Lettuce, 63 Degree Egg, Parmigiano-Reggiano Shavings, Garlic Croutons, Streaky Bacon Rashers ($14)
Grass Fed Ribeye ($26)
Loved the blushing pink and a consistent pink through too. The ribeye was cooked till tender and it was so juicy! Particularly adored the potato gratin that comprised of thin slices stacked together and baked.
Portico Cheese Burger, Homemade Fennel Brioche, Ketchup and BBQ Sauce, Battered Onion Rings ($26)
Classic Fish and Chips, Crushed Peas and Mint from Our Garden ($21)
Possibly the island's best rendition of an old English classic. Mashed peas is an uncommon side yet they pulled it off quite brilliantly, it instantly became my favourite side next to fries.
I love how sea bass is used instead of boring dory, giving this a flaky and firmer texture. The battered crust was so delicious, I was definitely guarding my dish and not sharing.
I have raved about this before, brunch, during a tasting and now dinner. Consistently good and I am looking forward to more of their gourmet adventures.

Actually, wait. Maybe you shouldn't close those tabs quite yet. At least not all of them. Maybe just the ones with butt stuff. In fact, now might be a good time to look up even more porn -- but only the "classy" kind, because that's the kind that science has proven can improve your test scores.
In a study at Carnegie Mellon University, researchers gathered a group of heterosexual male college students and submitted them to a speech and math test in an experience that was purposely designed to be stressful. While they were waiting to take the test -- probably while planted actors whispered about how the test was "such a bitch, bro" while shivering and sweating a lot -- the students were asked to participate in a survey, which they were told was unrelated to the test because, again, scientists are sneaky little bastards. In the survey, half of the students were shown images of partially nude couples doing some fuckin' (but, you know, classily), while the other half were shown images of couples engaging in non-sexual behaviors such as unfuckily drinking wine together. After the survey, the students' stress levels were measured and they were given the aforementioned anxiety-inducing test.

"Empty again? I thought I just refilled this damn thing."
The students who were shown the semi-pornographic images exhibited lower levels of stress and scored an average of one-and-a-half times better on the math portion of the test. The scientists concluded that viewing "mildly erotic" images helped to calm the students' nerves and thus improved their subsequent scores on a stressful test. It's not as ridiculous as it sounds -- it's actually fairly basic brain chemistry. Stress releases chemicals that wreak havoc on your ability to do, well, anything. Stimulating the pleasure centers in the brain blunts their effect.

Next Generation of Urbanists
Quick quiz: What does it take to make a city smart and sustainable? What role does innovation, creativity, and collaboration play in our attempts to reach sustainable design solutions?
We recently challenged students to think about these questions during an Innovation & Urban Design workshop at our Calgary studio.
The workshop was created in collaboration with the Urban Calgary Students' Association (UCSA) and FUSE, a group of students from University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT that create, design and participate in real initiatives with real-world impact.
The workshop aimed to introduce students to the design frameworks that we use in our projects. The workshop ended in true DIALOG fashion – with collaboration! The students got to work in small teams to solve a design challenge and apply their newfound knowledge.
Safe to say the future is in good hands with these budding urbanists. Thanks for stopping by the studio!

Code Hacker Jane Manchun Wong recently tweeted about two new features, which are being tested currently for the Creator Accounts. Both of these features are being developed for Instagram Direct (the platform's private messaging feature).
The first feature will split the conversations into two categories, "Primary" and "General". Although much isn't known about the split, it will likely separate necessary or relevant conversations from others.
Instagram Direct is testing "Primary" and "General" conversation tabs for Creator Accounts— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) March 26, 2019
And the world is divided into two classes. pic.twitter.com/C5Lx8hSLWq
The second feature will result in the addition of a new filter, the "Top Requests". Again, not much has been revealed about this feature yet but Wong predicts that "Top Requests" messages will most likely be the ones which serve a bigger and much more important purpose for the creators in the eyes of IG algorithm, as compared to the usual message requests.
Instagram Direct is testing "Top Requests" filter for Creator Accounts— Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) March 26, 2019
"Top Requests" messages are likely to be what the creator cares about pic.twitter.com/HcURHOpsGz
The release date of these features is unknown as of this moment. However, having these options will definitely make a Creator's work smoother and allow them to be easily reached out by business marketers for brand endorsement and other promotion related ventures.

Reprinted from The Hollywood Reporter by Carolyn Giardina on August 17, 2016.
Rivkin earned Academy Award and BAFTA nominations for Avatar, which he edited with director James Cameron and John Refoua. He won an ACE Eddie Award for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curve of the Black Pearl, and earned three additional Eddie nominations, including one for Avatar.
Rivkin previously was VP of ACE, and also chairs the Committee for Creative Recognition, a joint effort between ACE and Motion Picture Editors Guild. The committee asks film festivals and awards presentations, domestic and international, that already recognize cinematography and/or production design to additionally recognize editing. In recent years, that effort helped lead to the addition of editing categories at events including Film Independent's Spirit Awards, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and ASIFA's Annie Awards.

ReviewsTeton Pines 3481
We love staying in these condos and have for many years. They are so comfortable for our family. rnJackson Hole Reservations always makes sure we have everything we need.
Ashley R. :: Monday, July 29, 2019
In general, great location close to Jackson as well as entrance to GTNP. We walked to/availed ourselves of local businesses: Persephone's coffee, Aspens Market, and UPS store. Condo well-suited to our needs (e.g., 3 BRs and 3.5 baths). Loved having the grill. Clean and well-equipped with a couple of exceptions: (1) thank you for supplying coffee but filters would have been appreciated, (2) no laundry detergent; and (3) no cleaning supplies for kitchen counters/baths. Maybe leave instructions on how to use the TV in the living room; I figured it out after a couple of days (need to use two different remotes). Possible to provide bikes or have a bike rental place closer than Teton Village?--bike path sooooo close! JHR staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend your company and these condos to other families/groups. -- SS
Stephanie S. :: Tuesday, July 9, 2019
Great Upgrade
Upon arrival in Teton Village we learned of a problem with the rental we had requested. The management company offered this condo as an upgrade. It was beyond expectations. We really enjoyed our visit. It was more than we expected.
Steve Waller :: Thursday, October 10, 2013
The unit was good. There was some deferred maintenance. I had to fix a broken light post in the front of the unit. There was a broken kitchen cabinet door, which was laying askew in the living room. The pillows are cheap and uncomfortable, while the single ply toilet paper should be reserved for gas station toliets...somewhat near the quality of an Econolodge. Please remember that you are basically selling sleep, so uncomfortable linens and pillow defeat the whole purpose.I was skeptical about the cleanliness of the master bedroom blanket We did not use the downstairs bathrooms.

Comic-Con is proud to offer one of the most generous child badge policies in the industry. Children (age 12 and under) are free with a paying adult! Children do not need to register for a Comic-Con Member ID to receive a complimentary badge. You may register up to two children per paid adult attendee.
Children must be present to be registered for a badge and adults will be required to provide emergency contact information for any child registrant. Please visit the Registration Area when you arrive onsite for more information.
To accommodate the transition from child (age 12 and under) to junior (age 13 - 17), we have set a static date to determine who is considered a child for Comic-Con 2020. If you are age 12 or under on July 31, 2019, you do not need to buy a badge for Comic-Con 2020. You may attend as a child, with a paying adult. If you are age 13 or older on or before July 31, 2019, you must create a Comic-Con Member ID and purchase a badge to attend Comic-Con 2020.
Comic-Con 2020 Child-to-Junior Badge Validation
The child-to-junior validation period is now closed.
If your child attended Comic-Con 2019 with a free child badge, but would be considered a junior attendee for Comic-Con 2020, you must have validated their Comic-Con 2019 child badge number by September 5, 2019 to be eligible to participate in Comic-Con 2020 Returning Registration.
If you missed the validation deadline, they may still be eligible to participate in Comic-Con 2020 Open Registration at a later date. Please check our website frequently for more information.

A point mutation (stress-sensitive B1, sesB1 in the Drosophila gene coding for the major adult isoform of the adenine nuclear translocase (ANT) represents a model for human diseases associated with ANT insufficiency. We characterized the organismal, bioenergetic and molecular phenotype of sesB1, then tested strategies to compensate the mutant phenotype. In addition to developmental delay and bang-sensitivity, sesB1 manifests impaired response to sound, defective male courtship, female sterility and curtailed lifespan. These phenotypes, apart from the last two, are shared with the tko25t mutant in mitoribosomal protein S12. Mitochondria from sesB1 adults showed a decreased respiratory control ratio and downregulation of cytochrome oxidase. sesB1 adults exhibited ATP depletion, lactate accumulation, and changes in gene expression consistent with a metabolic shift towards glycolysis, with activation of lactate dehydrogenase and anaplerotic pathways. Females also showed downregulation of many genes required for oogenesis, and their eggs, though fertilized, failed to develop to the larval stages. The sesB1 phenotypes of developmental delay and bang-sensitivity were alleviated by altered mtDNA background. Female sterility was substantially rescued by somatic expression of the alternative oxidase (AOX) from Ciona intestinalis, whereas AOX did not alleviate developmental delay. Our findings illustrate the potential of different therapeutic strategies for ANT-linked diseases, based on increasing mitochondrial bioenergy production, or on alleviating metabolic stress.
