THE WRAPAROUND: SHELL
"Taking a piece of paper, Klinowitz showed Todd the secret of buying real estate for a large corporation like a gasoline company: ‘You find a good spot, on the corner of two busy roads. The owner has two acres, won’t break it up into smaller lots. The company, say Mobil or Humble in the old days, they can use a quarter of an acre, only. That leaves you with an acre and three-quarters wrapping around the corner in a kind of capital L. Your job as buyer is to buy the entire piece, but not before you’ve found someone like me who’ll take the wraparound off your hands. Do you see the economics?’"~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS.

Transubstantiation (Latin: transsubstantiatio; Greek: μετουσίωσις metousiosis) is, according to the teaching of the Catholic Church, "the change of the whole substance of bread into the substance of the Body of Christ and of the whole substance of wine into the substance of his Blood. This change is brought about in the eucharistic prayer through the efficacy of the word of Christ and by the action of the Holy Spirit. However, the outward characteristics of bread and wine, that is the 'eucharistic species', remain unaltered."[1] In this teaching, the notions of "substance" and "transubstantiation" are not linked with any particular theory of metaphysics.

The Penitent Magdalen  
A sinner, perhaps a courtesan, Mary Magdalen was a witness of Christ who renounced the pleasures of the flesh for a life of penance and contemplation. She is shown with a mirror, symbol of vanity; a skull, emblem of mortality; and a candle that probably stands for her spiritual enlightenment. The style of La Tour, a native of the duchy of Lorraine in eastern France, is much indebted to Caravaggesque painting. The contrast of candlelight and shadow, the pure geometry of form, and the meditative mood characterize the pictures for which he is famous.

The Birth of Venus is an iconic image and a cliché; but it is also a work of utter mastery. Rather than attempt pure photorealism, Botticelli chooses an almost cartoon-like style of sharp outlines filled in by washes of colour. Today we would call the deliberately crude rendering of the trees, shoreline, and water some form of Rousseauian Primitivism. Botticelli clearly has the skill to work just a realistically as he desires; I conclude that his primitivism is deliberate. Botticelli understands that by simplifying away the level of the smallest and least essential details what is left has all the more visual power. Simplification or no, not only are the outlines gorgeous but the colour washes are divine. Look at how limid and luminous are the colours in Venus' skin. (Yet for all that Botticelli manages to get Venus' left nipple in the wrong place, which suggests along with the sloping shoulders that she was drawn from imagination, not life.)
The story line is simple: we have Modesty attempting to cover the new-born nakedness of Beauty, while the god Zephyr (perhaps with a reconciled Chloris in tow?) attempts to prevent this tragedy from coming to pass.

LA CONCHA GRABADA DEL EDIFICIO DEL BÚHO, DZIBANCHÉ, QUINTANA ROO

La imagen es la de una concha Spondylus, grabada, que formó parte de la ofrenda encontrada en la tumba explorada por L.E. Campaña en uno de los edificios que bordean la Plaza Xibalbá de Dzibanché. La concha muestra en su interior a un noble que sostiene en sus brazos una serpiente de cascabel, de la que se distingue su crótalo, su cuerpo con marcas de diamantes y su cabeza con un jade por ojo y, posiblemente, una pluma rematándolo. En ambas extremidades de la serpiente aparece una deidad emergiendo de las fauces de una serpiente; un jade se incrustó en la lengua bífida y otro en la parte superior de la cabeza de la serpiente. La deidad de la izquierda es el dios solar K’inich Ajaw.

El personaje lleva una falda de piel de jaguar y está sentado sobre un trono de estera enrollada (expresión, por sí misma, de autoridad), revestido igualmente con una piel de jaguar. En ambos casos las manchas del animal se han representado mediante pequeñas incrustaciones de coral negro. A juzgar por la presencia al centro de tres hachuelas de jade (utilizadas con frecuencia por los mayas para referirse al poder), el trono podría representar un bulto funerario, con lo cual se estaría simbolizando una relación del noble en la concha con un antepasado de prestigio. Idénticas hachuelas aparecen colgando del cinturón del noble.

Enrique Nalda, "La concha grabada del Edificio del Búho, Dzibanché, Quintana Roo", Arqueología Mexicana 82.

IMAGEN: Concha grabada. Cultura: Maya. Periodo: Clásico Temprano. Material: Jadeíta, acerina, pirita, coral negro y concha nácar. Medidas: 25 x 20 cm. Localización: Sala Maya, Museo Nacional de Antropología.

 PA ELLA

This is the medieval shield of the legendary leader El Cid who captured the Moorish Kingdom of Valencia after a nine-month siege. It is made of 20 gauge steel and comes with an attached chain for easy display. The accents are real brass which add realism and value to the shield.

 To switch from one setting to another. The term toggle implies that there are only two possible settings and that you are switching from the current setting to the other setting. A toggle switch is a switch that has just two positions. For example, light switches that turn a light on or off are toggle switches. On computer keyboards, the Caps Lock key is a toggle switch because pressing it can have two meanings depending on what the current setting is. If Caps Lock is already on, then pressing the Caps Lock key turns it off. If Caps Lock is off, pressing the Caps Lock key turns it on. Toggle switches also exist in software. For, example a check box in a dialog box is a toggle switch. http://webopedia.internet.com/TERM/T/toggle.html
