Chess: “Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus)” “Breakfast at Tiffany's” “Lapas” “Rio” “River” "The Divine Comedy" "Rio de Janeiro"
"Anodorhynchus"
is derived from Greek: "anodos" means upward, and
"rhynchus" translates to beak. So it essentially means "upward
beak." It's used for a genus of macaws, like the Hyacinth Macaw.
Fascinating how names can be so descriptive! "Hyacinth"
refers to a beautiful, fragrant flower that blooms in spring. Its name
originates from the Greek word "hyakinthos," which, in mythology, was
a divine youth loved by Apollo. In a tragic twist, Hyacinthus was accidentally
killed, and from his spilled blood, the hyacinth flower was said to have
sprung. So, "Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus" essentially
translates to "Upward beak hyacinth." This name perfectly fits the
Hyacinth Macaw, the largest flying parrot species, with its impressive
upward-curving beak and striking hyacinth-blue plumage. Nature’s way of being
both descriptive and poetic. Fascinating! The flower symbolizes rebirth and peace.
Intriguing how nature and mythology intertwine, huh?
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a 1961 American romantic comedy
film directed by Blake Edwards from a screenplay by George Axelrod and based on
the 1958 novella of the same name by Truman Capote. It stars Audrey Hepburn,
George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Martin Balsam, and Mickey Rooney.
In the film, Holly Golightly (Hepburn), a naïve, eccentric socialite meets Paul
Varjak (Peppard), a struggling writer who moves into her apartment building.
Development for the film began soon after the publication of
Capote's novel, with several actors, including Marilyn Monroe, Shirley
MacLaine, Kim Novak, Steve McQueen, Jack Lemmon, and Robert Wagner, considered
for the lead roles prior to Hepburn and Peppard being cast. The screenplay,
which deviates from Capote's novella, was originally completed by Axelrod and
director John Frankenheimer, who was replaced by Edwards well into
pre-production. Principal photography began on October 2, 1960, with filming
taking place in New York City and at the Studios at Paramount in Hollywood,
California. The film's music was composed by Henry Mancini and its theme song,
"Moon River",
was written by Johnny Mercer.
Breakfast at Tiffany's was released in the United States on
October 5, 1961, by Paramount Pictures. It grossed $14 million worldwide and
received critical acclaim for its music and Hepburn's style and performance,
being nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Actress for Hepburn,
and winning two (Music Score of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture and Best Song for
Mancini). The film also received numerous other accolades, although, Rooney's
portrayal of I. Y. Yunioshi garnered significant subsequent controversy for
being racist. In 2012, the film was preserved in the U.S. National Film
Registry by the Library of Congress.

LOS DODGERS GANAN LA SERIE MUNDIAL DEL 2024
(Milka and Luke Skywalker)
"Chesterton fue católico, Chesterton creyó en la Edad Media de los prerrafaelistas (Of London, small and white, and clean), Chesterton pensó, como Whitman, que el mero hecho de ser es tan prodigioso que ninguna desventura debe eximirnos de una suerte de cósmica gratitud. Tales creencias pueden ser justas, pero el interés que promueven es limitado; suponer que agotan a Chesterton es olvidar que un credo es el último término de una serie de procesos mentales y emocionales y que UN HOMBRE ES TODA LA SERIE. En este país, los católicos exaltan a Chesterton, los librepensadores lo niegan. Como todo escritor que profesa un credo, Chesterton es juzgado por él, es reprobado o aclamado por él. Su caso es parecido al de Kipling a quien siempre lo juzgan en función del Imperio Británico."~~~BORGES: Sobre Chesterton
