The Roman province of Provence (later to be part of France) was almost more Roman than Rome. They picked up on the baths and the central heating, the hypocaust setup, in homes as quickly as a kitten homes in on her food bowl.

63 This work is one of a projected set of four monumental landscapes representing the times of day that Gericault painted in his Paris studio. (Only three were completed.) Conceived as a decorative ensemble, the paintings fuse souvenirs of ruins in the Italian countryside, which the artist had visited in 1816 and 1817, with the grand manner exemplified by past masters Nicolas Poussin and Joseph Vernet. The stormy sky and turbulent mood of this picture exemplify notions of the Sublime and the aesthetic of the emerging Romantic movement.

Plus he got to see naked boys frolicking about.

102 A bill that would ban child marriages is set to go before the West Virginia state Senate after passing the state House of Delegates Wednesday.

The bill, which the Republican-led House passed 84-13, would establish the age of consent for marriage at 18 years old and remove the ability for minors to get consent through parents, legal guardians, or by court petition. The bill would not affect existing marriages.

104 The 50 most attractive nationalities in the world have been revealed – and it's India that is No.1, with the USA beating Sweden to the runner-up spot.

The ranking was produced by an analysis of thousands of Reddit posts about attractive nations. Any Reddit posts referencing 'attractive', 'sexy', 'beautiful', 'handsome', 'gorgeous', 'good looking', 'pretty' and 'hot' with a country was analysed. A score was then created using the number of posts, comments and upvotes.

According to the study, by swimwear brand Pour Moi, Japanese people are the fourth most attractive, Canadians the fifth best-looking and Brazilians the sixth.

The rest of the top ten comprises France (seventh), Italy (eighth), Ukraine (ninth) and Denmark (10th).

130 I know Trump's still a little contentious here, but maybe this DU discussion will encourage everyone:

"The View"s Alyssa Farah Griffin served as White House director of strategic communications under Donald Trump, and she's "genuinely afraid" of him serving a second term as president. 'This man loves retaliation'!

Griffin told her co-hosts that Trump would likely spend his next term exacting revenge from all his enemies if he made it back into power.

I would leave the US if he were reelected. No doubt he or DeSantis would go full Nazi if given the opportunity. And Fox News would gladly hand it to them. Florida is a test run.

Michael Cohen has also been saying as much. And, we all saw it first-hand when he sicced the IRS on Comey and McCabe, among other incidents. To say that Trump is a vindictive fuck is not exactly a revelation.

One of those inside the Trump White House books described how people were afraid to say a public goodbye to anyone Trump had fired because he’d notice and take it out on them, too.

145 I like the Romantic style paintings in general and this is a great example. The artist creates drama with the way he uses light (early evening?) to give a shimmering glow to parts of the scene. There is a feel of the ancient world with the overgrown ruins on the heights. Even the nude bathers add to that ancient world impression. Is it idealized? Yep. Is it effective in giving the viewer a certain sense of place and time? Yep.

Part of my enjoyment of CBD's choices is when I can enlarge the image and appreciate how the artist used brush strokes and colors to achieve his effect.

The article says the following:
Their findings suggest that the lime clasts can dissolve into cracks and recrystallize after exposure to water, healing cracks created by weathering before they spread. The researchers said this self-healing potential could pave the way to producing more long-lasting, and thus more sustainable, modern concrete. Such a move would reduce concrete's carbon footprint, which accounts for up to 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the study.
For many years, researchers had thought that volcanic ash from the area of Pozzuoli, on the Bay of Naples, was what made Roman concrete so strong. This kind of ash was transported across the vast Roman empire to be used in construction, and was described as a key ingredient for concrete in accounts by architects and historians at the time.
Masic said that both components are important, but lime was overlooked in the past.

So apparently both volcanic ash and the lime clasts are important. Amazing engineers, the Romans.

This happened in 2007 also. From wikipedia:

On 29 August 2007, six AGM-129 ACM cruise missiles, each loaded with a W80-1 variable yield nuclear warhead, were mistakenly loaded onto a United States Air Force (USAF) B-52H heavy bomber at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota and transported to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. The nuclear warheads in the missiles were supposed to have been removed before the missiles were taken from their storage bunker. The missiles with the nuclear warheads were not reported missing, and remained mounted to the aircraft at both Minot and Barksdale for 36 hours. During this period, the warheads were not protected by the various mandatory security precautions for nuclear weapons.

280 Based on vast grapevine genetic data studied, their report shows there were two domestication events for the cultivated wine grapevine in two distinct places – Western Asia and the Caucasus region – separated during the last glacial advance. “Despite being separated by over 1000 [kilometers], the two domestication processes appear to have occurred contemporaneously with a high degree of shared signatures of selection on the same genes,” writes Robin Allaby in a related Perspective. What’s more, they showed that these domestication events took place 11,000 years ago – in line with the advent of farming, and about 4,000 years later than some studies have shown. The genetic data also suggest that wine and table grapes were cultivated at the same time – not the wine grapevine first.

351 Concerning Coade stone:
Eleanor Coade, the daughter of a wool merchant, in all likelihood, knew next to nothing about making artificial stone. On the contrary, she sold linen. But towards the end of the 1760s, she had the fortune of meeting one Daniel Pincot, who was already into the business of making artificial stone but was having difficulty keeping up with the finances. Eleanor Coade had the money and Daniel Pincot had the formula, and together they opened a factory on the south side of Thames where Waterloo Station stands today and began producing an unusually high-grade material. Coade originally named her stone Lythodipyra, which was Greek for “twice-fired stone”, before rebranding it to the punchier “Coade stone.” Within two years, Eleanor Coade had fired Daniel Pincot and nothing more is known about him.

So Eleanor Coade was the financier, not the developer of Coade stone.

358 Something for the 'ettes'? Now I've seen some men in my days but.... Never mind. The artist seemed to do a lovely job capturing (very) still life but whole bodies in movement, not so good.

And (in part) from History of Art, "In 1819, Gericault attracted controversy with his decision to visit local morgues, and bring severed arms and heads back to his Paris studio to enable anatomically accurate representations. Drowned men were peculiarly topical to his efforts to convey the tragedy of the Medusa ship raft..." He also painted portraits of the insane & troubled for a psychiatrist, guillotined heads, the poor and tragic life in the streets and more.

Was Théodore Gericault's reputation & livelihood built on sensationalism? IDK & need to read comments from the knowledgeable & more, but it seems possible. That and an air of serial killer, less so compassionate artist, to me.

If the painting is in Philly, I'd go to see it but would pass in hanging. Very interesting artist. Thanks.
