(b.1898—d.1970) My Grandparents from Sweden met in NYC— so Dad was a 'first generation American' who earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science from The City College of New York— the college plate is seen at the end of the video. Dad retired from teaching Industrial Processes at Brooklyn Technical High School and still has many students who ask about him. He spent his last years busy in retirement in the beautiful village of Northport! Some may remember his tour as Board President of the Kallman Home for Children— home of the 'big band' in Bay Ridge, NY. These twelve pages are 18"x24" were folded as a book to save room in his small studio. To view single images go to: http://homepage.mac.com/dojoro/PhotoAlbum1405.html Thanks to the internet his work can now be seen! Boy! Would my Dad have enjoyed working on a computer! I am now working on retrieving for publication the collection of thick three-ring books with his many beautifully hand-lettered pages and letters from many famous people. PYROGNOSIS left this comment: What an amazing relic and heirloom! I'm glad you scanned the pages so that we will have them for many, many more years. New version leaves the first version that had 48 visits. For more animated posters go to VIDEOS at: http://dojoro.com |
 | Jose Rizal Life Part2 Jose Rizal (full name: José Protacio Mercado Rizal Alonso y Realonda) (June 19, 1861 -- December 30, 1896) was a Filipino polymath, nationalist and the most prominent advocate for reforms in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. He is considered a national hero and the anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a Philippine holiday called Rizal Day. Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution. The seventh of eleven children born to a middle class family in the town of Calamba, Laguna, Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree sobresaliente. He enrolled in the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Philosophy and Letters and then traveled alone to Madrid, Spain, where he studied medicine at the Universidad Central de Madrid, earning the degree of Licentiate in Medicine. He attended the University of Paris and earned a second doctorate at the University of Heidelberg. Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages.[1][2][3][4] He was a prolific poet, essayist, diarist, correspondent, and novelist whose most famous works were his two novels, Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.[5] These are social commentaries on the Philippines that formed the nucleus of literature that inspired dissent among peaceful reformists and spurred the militancy of armed revolutionaries against 333 years of Spanish rule. As a political figure, Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization that subsequently gave birth to the Katipunan[6] led by Bonifacio and Aguinaldo. He was a proponent of institutional reforms by peaceful means rather than by violent revolution. The general consensus among Rizal scholars, however, attributed his martyred death as the catalyst that precipitated the Philippine Revolution. |

 | WILD Michael Darby and Smile, Gentle Giant Has Giant Visionary Dream His Name.... Michael Darby His Dream.... "The reason I feel I am here on this earth is to make a change. My dream is to inspire 1,000,000 children to write 1,000,000 letters on how they would change the world and make it a better place. Once that dream comes true my goal is to turn these letters into a very special book. A book of dreams and hopefully reality! A book that will reside in every library in the United States of America for every child to read and hopefully inspire the minds of our future "Keepers of our Earth" as a visionary guide, so to speak, for thought, inspiration, dreams and action. I believe there is something uniquely special about all of us. We all have a little bit of magic. We all have something that makes us different from every other person in our world. For me that something special is a book that can teach and inspire. This vision and dream of mine manifested itself after eight years of touring the United States and Japan. A dream of 1,000,000 letters emerged. A dream of inspiration, unity and action. 1,000,000 letters that could and would change the world forever. 1,000,000 letters that would inspire a generation of hero's. 1,000,000 letters that would foster a greatness only found in a child's heart. Even I lose the best part of myself sometimes. With so many 9 to 5's and most of us just trying to pay our bills. It's so hard to dream big. It's so hard to think we could change the world and make it a better place. But the power of thought and action is the dream. "DREAM IT...DO IT...CHANGE IT" The goal of this book is to remind us all that life can be as amazing as we want it to be. If we can't remind ourselves of this, maybe our children can. I challenge all of you who read this mission statement to write a letter from your heart on how you would change the world and make it a better place.Your inspiration,your dream, your action. You see, it's a little tough to be sad and pessimistic when you are dreaming your positive dream and smiling.... Put forth a positive inspiration and thought. Put forth a positive thought and dream. Put forth a positiveaction and.then see where that dream leads you...leads our children....leads our world. Then turn that positive dream into a positive action.I have a feeling when your letter is complete you will be SMILING" - Best to all, Michael Darby _________________________________________________ A little bit about Michael Darby Michael received his Bachelor of Arts from EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE.

 | NIGHTSHADES presents Music Theatre Language Films This film is a selection of music and visuals recently created by NIGHTSHADES. Nightshades or 'Nachtschimmen' [Dutch] is the professional name for all music and video work I produce. My name is Zachàr Alexander Laskewicz and I was born in Western Australia in 1971 with roots from a mixture of Slavic and other European countries, including Byelorussia, Ireland, the Ukraine and Montenegro. As a child I showed great interest in theatre and music; I studied hard and long and received a Bachelor degree in theatre and drama studies, a first license in experimental composition from the Royal Conservatory of Ghent, a graduate diploma in linguistics, a PhD in the Arts at the University of Ghent, A Post Doctoral Certificate in World Music and finally (and most recently) a Masters of Letters from the University of Central Queensland where I majored in Gender Studies and Queer Theory. Somewhere in between all that I started a Balinese Gamelan Orchestra at the Indonesian Embassy in Brussels, picked up a degree in multimedia management, achieved the Dutch proficiency certificate and went to teach literature and theatre to the Taiwanese (in English) and after that music composition to the Chinese (in Mandarin). Now I'm back at home in Ghent, Belgium, entirely exhausted but still frenetically creative. I hope you enjoy my work at least half as much as I do in making it; it means a great deal to me -- it is everything I am. |
 | The New World Translation (NWT) on Women INSIGHT ON THE SCRIPTURES (Vol. 1): Apocrypha, pg 121 - Leading bible scholars quoted as authority on canonocity (what was inspired by God): Saint Jerome Origen Bishop Athanasius Saint Cyril of Jerusalem Saint Gregory of Nazianzus Amphilocius of Iconium Canon: Pg 408 Enoch: "Book of Enoch") pg 729 http://www.geocities.com/robbi01/jerome.html Saint Jerome, by Friedrich Heer There is a close link between St. Jerome's savage condemnation of the Female sex and His denigration of the Jew. St. Jerome displays the colossal egotism of the bachelor who refuses to have anything to do with the 'filth' that is woman. His invective betrays the fear of the neurotic who had never been able to follow his own sexual nature to maturity. http://www.womens-way.com/mom.pdf The Mist of Misogyny By Rita J. Andrews: Augustine followed Aristotle in his belief that women were morally and mentally inferior to men, their bodies being an obstacle to exercise of reason, and Aquinas followed Augustine and these men depicted women as temptation—easily tempted into evil. Some of the church fathers, including St. Jerome could not agree on whether or not women were completely human. http://www.womenpriests.org/traditio/jerome.asp St. Jerome: Woman's punishment, incurred through Eve's sin, may be undone through childbearing http://nuovisacerdoti.altervista.org/novit527.htm August 03, 2006. Right Rev. Bishop George Lungu, Speaking of St. Jerome, who went as far as scratching himself with stones in order not to fall into temptation from the sexual urge, Karen Armstrong writes as follows: "The letters of St. Jerome teem with loathing of the female which occasionally sounds deranged." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nag_Hammadi_library Nag Hammadi Library & Early Christian Gnostic Texts APOCALYPSE OF ADAM, Gnostic Christian Gospel (Nag Hammadi library) "Then we recognized the god (the subcreator - the demiurge) who had created us. For we were not strangers to his powers. And we served him in fear and slavery." (a revelation to his son Seth) Why would God need servants to nourish & sustain him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OoqO5cvsR0&feature=related Timeline of Nag Hammadi library: Jung and the Lost Gospels by Stephan Hoeller (back cover) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Translation_of_the... New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures In October 1946, the president of the Watch Tower Society, Nathan H. Knorr, proposed a fresh translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures. The New World Bible Translation Committee requested the publisher, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, never to publish names of its members. According to its agreement the Watchtower organization has never confirmed or denied any names or biographical data regarding this committee. However, former high ranking Watchtower staffers have presented names..... The Editor of the NWT was Frederick William Franz. The Watchtower organization's Board of Directors tasked him to examine the NWT and determine its accuracy and acceptability as it was submitted for publication. Frederick Franz attended the University of Cincinnati where he was an honor student. His formal training concentrated on Latin and classical Greek. According to A. H. Macmillan, in addition to his native tongue of English, Frederick Franz was fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and German, conversant in French, and a scholar of Hebrew, Greek, Syrian and Latin. (Note Frederic Franz's education level which is hypocritical of the WBTS's advice for JW's not to pursue a higher education) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Fathers The Church Fathers, Early Church Fathers, or Fathers of the Church are the early and influential theologians and writers in the Christian Church, particularly those of the first five centuries of Christian history. The term is used of writers and teachers of the Church, not necessarily saints. It is generally not meant to include the New Testament authors, though in the early Church some writing of Church Fathers were considered canonical. SAINT AUGUSTINE (November 13, 354 -- August 28, 430), Bishop of Hippo, was a philosopher and theologian. Augustine, a Latin Father and Doctor of the Church, is one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. Augustine was radically influenced by Platonism. HE FRAMED THE CONCEPTS OF "ORIGINAL SIN" and just war as they are understood in the West. http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/who_is_gre... Johannes Greber, The Watchtower Society & The New Testament http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Greber Johannes Greber: Catholic priest who joined the spiritualism research, and later a spiritualist church founded its own. He is regarded as the author of one of the most important works of Christian spirituality, he also wrote an embossed spiritualistic translation of the New Testament. |
