For Christmas, my family has made my "to read" pile even bigger!

Emperor of Rome, by Mary Beard: Her latest book! I didn't even know it was out yet, but I enjoyed SPQR and all the documentaries she's hosted. She's good at emphasizing the diversity of the Roman world and ordinary people's experiences, so I'm curious to see her perspective on high-level politics, too.

Inverse Cowgirl, by Alicia Roth Weigel: A memoir about sexuality, gender, and identity from an intersex activist and human rights commissioner in Texas, USA. Makes me proud to see other Texans working towards a kinder, more sensible future.

All About History: Book of the Roman Empire, ed. Dan Peele. A magazine-style book full of infographics, chapters on religion, the military, everyday life, and some famous Romans, and lots of glossy pictures. I'm most curious about the profiles of Agrippina the Younger and Julia Maesa, along with the sections on the Crisis of the Third Century, bathhouses and crime. Might also post excerpts of Nero's profile because I know a few of y'all are really interested in him!

I have eaten far too many cookies and gotten dog hair all over my pants. Gonna try finishing Plutarch's Life of Romulus later. I hope y'all also have a wonderful day!

#books books books! #every time i finish one three more appear on my list! it's a hydra!! #mary beard #emperor of roma #all about history: roman empire #dan peele #inverse cowgirl #alicia roth weigel #jlrrt reads #jlrrt speaks

Tags: @CTV_PR, @CTV, @TheLede_CA, #SullivansCrossingTORONTO (March 11, 2024) – CTV announced today that Season 2 of hit original drama SULLIVAN’S CROSSING premieres Sunday, April 14 at a special time of 9 p.m. ET/PT on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app. The series then moves into its regular Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT timeslot beginning April 21. From the team behind VIRGIN RIVER, and adapted by executive producer and showrunner Roma Roth from the New York Times bestselling novels by beloved author and Virgin River scribe Robyn Carr, SULLIVAN’S CROSSING stars Morgan Kohan (WHEN HOPE CALLS), alongside Chad Michael Murray (ONE TREE HILL), and Scott Patterson (GILMORE GIRLS).

Filmed in Nova Scotia, Season 2 consists of 10, one-hour episodes. Following the gripping conclusion of the first season, Season 2 of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING opens just hours after Dr. Maggie Sullivan (Kohan) has learned about her father’s stroke, and her life is once again thrown into turmoil. Choosing to delay her return to Boston to care for her father Sully (Patterson), Maggie finds herself back in Sullivan’s Crossing, where she must once again face her conflicted feelings about her father and address her growing attraction to Cal (Murray), as she struggles to come to terms with the realities of her pregnancy and the impact it may have on her career.

Returning for Season 2 alongside Morgan Kohan as Dr. Maggie Sullivan, Chad Michael Murray as Cal Jones, and Scott Patterson as Harry “Sully” Sullivan, are actor, singer and companion of the Order of Canada, Tom Jackson (CARDINAL) as Frank Cranebear; actor, singer, and songwriter, Andrea Menard (VELVET DEVIL) as Edna Cranebear; Amalia Williamson (BRIA MACK GETS A LIFE) as Lola Gunderson; Lindura (GHOSTS) as Sydney Shandon; Dakota Taylor (ZERO CHILL) as Rafe; Lauren Hammersley (VIRGIN RIVER) as Connie Boyle; Lynda Boyd (VIRGIN RIVER) as Phoebe Lancaster; Reid Price (THE SINNER) as Rob Shandon; Peter Outerbridge (DESIGNATED SURVIVOR) as Walter Lancaster; and Allan Hawco (JACK RYAN) as Andrew Mathews.

Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray) is confused when Maggie gives him the cold shoulder, unaware that Lola (Amalia Williamson) pocketed his goodbye letter. Sully connects with a new patient who is sharing his hospital room; Edna (Andrea Menard) and Frank (Tom Jackson) find themselves at odds for the first time in years; and Sydney (Lindura) and Rafe (Dakota Taylor) struggle to keep things platonic while living as roommates.

Bahçesinde Arısı Olanın Kesesinde Sarısı Olur

Sevgili Dostlar,

Ava Roth arıcılık yapıyor, ama ürettiği balları kavanoza koyarak değil onlardan tablolar yaparak satıyor. “Olur mu olur, bal gibi olur” diyor, çünkü şu ara pek çok müze ve özel koleksiyon bu her biri tekil olan tabloları satın almanın peşinde.

Fikir de güzel, uygulaması da. Sanatçı önce yuvarlak veya kare çerçevelerin içine doğal petekler yerleştiriyor. Sonra baldıran kozalakları, huş ağacı dalları, cam boncuk, at yelesi, kirpi dikeni, çam iğnesi, altın varak ve ham ipek gibi malzemelerle balmumunu bir araya getirerek ankostik kolajlar yapıyor.

“Ankostik”, eritilmiş balmumu ile renk pigmentlerinin karışımından elde edilen boyalarla Roma ve Bizans’tan beri yapılan bir resim türü. Kanadalı sanatçı bu antik sanatı bir adım daha ileri taşımak üzere hazırladığı çerçeveleri dikine arı kovanlarına asıyor ve 6 bacaklı iş ortakları tabloyu tamamlıyor. Binlerce arıdan oluşan bir koloni bütün bir mevsim boyunca tabloları petek petek işliyor ve insanın diğer canlılarla birlikte sanat yapması anlamındaki “interspecies art” (türler arası sanat) ortaya çıkıyor. Bakınız bazı örnekler; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Yani demek ki şu dünyada iyi planlama yapılırsa her şey mümkün; – Arılar sanat yapabilir mi, bal gibi yapar. – Alışveriş yaptıkça üste nakit para kazanılır mı, bal gibi kazanılır.

Federico Fellini 

By: Grace Small 

Frederico Fellini is an Italian director best known for creating films such as Roma in 1972, and La Strada in 1954. Fellini was born in the Italian town of Rimini on the coast of the Adriatic. He was born on January 20, 1920, and passed on October 31, 1993. Fellini was Painted as one of the most successful directors and filmmakers after the second world war. Federico Fellini created a cinematic world around the world he had experienced.

During the time in which Federico Fellini was brought into this world, during March of 1922 in the great country of Italy, there was much more than a birth of a groundbreaking director happening. During the time in which Fellini was born and growing up, growing up he was surrounded by the effects and events of the second world war. October of 1922 is when the March on Rome happened causing Mussolini to take power in Italy. This was the rise of fascism within Rome and Musollini became a dictator. 

Using the world around him Fellini practices Neorealism within his pieces he creates. Neorealism is the practice of  “poetic realism” within the film world Fellini came to be known for his practices of using a fictional idea of the truth (Britannica). Within Fillini’s films he would take real world stories such as ones that fall in line with the aftermath of the second world war he would use to make the story he was trying to convey be more full. The Neorealism movement was popular in the 1920s, it was surrounding fellini from a young age within the popular literature and cinematography of the time of control within Italy. Neorealism thrived after the conclusion of the second world war. Fellini routed his work in stories he could tell from first hand experience or the overall experience of living during Fascist control in Italy. 

Being able to see popular directors and writers pay tribute to legends within the cinematic universe. Fellini has made a lasting impact on the way modern film is received and created. For example 8 ½ dance scene is a great example in which Tarantino adapted the scene from 1963 and made it memorable again in 1994. The dancing scene from Pulp Fiction has been referenced in sitcoms and redone in different films making Fellini’s impact last longer and deep-rooted. 

When looking deeper into the film 8 ½ its self critics have raved about this film and examined its deeper level of appreciation for the film. A critic from The Guardian states “As he suggested, his films are trials, but as seen by an accomplice, rather than by a judge”. Michale Newton, the critic that said that Fellini never judged those who deal with similar issues that his characters endure in 8 1/2 , fellini merely highlighted and embraced the difficulties of “having it all” or attempting to have it all. 

Federico Fellini embarrassed the life he was given and the stories that he has gained throughout the way and turned them into cinematic magic. Fellini took the world that was ever-changing in his beloved country and made light of the dark actions of the fascists' rule and the fall of that empire. Fellini created a romanticized version of real-life struggles that he has dealt with to make light of it. Turning pain into art, Fellini has been praised for the different avenues and hands-on approach he had within his craft. Federico Fellini turned his life's struggles and pain into something more people can relate to.

The word "graffiti" is derived from the Italian "graffiare," "to scratch." The -i ending is plural - in the singular, it's "graffito."

Ci sono un sacco di graffiti a Roma! Alcuni è carini. 🤷‍♀️

Also, loooooooook:

(I was going to put a giallo gif here, but honestly, they're all disgusting.)

(Giallo in English refers to the very violent/gory/generally bonkers 1970s horror from Italy. Argento, Bava, kiiiiiind of Deodato and Fulci. Do not look them up unless you have a very strong stomach. Very strong. Just trust me. They put Deodato on trial for murder because it looked so horribly realistic in one of his movies. I am not kidding. You know Hostel? You've heard of Hostel. Eli Roth made Hostel. Know who Eli Roth loved??? Deodato.

[Deodato honestly seems like he was pretty cool, but he died back in December. Not my kind of movies, but he seemed to have fun with it all.]

Milano, Proust senza tempo: la presentazione di Alessandro Piperno

Milano, Proust senza tempo: la presentazione di Alessandro Piperno. Domenica 16 ottobre, alla ore 19.30 presso il Teatro Franco Parenti, Via Pier Lombardo, 14 - Milano, Alessandro Piperno ha raccontato con un monologo il “suo” Proust, rapporto nato da una lunga frequentazione e ha presentato la sua nuova opera Proust senza tempo. Tutto ha inizio con un inatteso dono di Natale. Un librone rilegato in similpelle blu navy con intarsi dorati, più simile a una Bibbia da motel che a un romanzo. Il volume in questione è Dalla parte di Swann, il primo tomo di Alla ricerca del tempo perduto. Marcel Proust, dunque. Un nome che risulta sconosciuto al beneficiario non meno che all’autore del regalo, entrambi all’ultimo anno di liceo. Sebbene abbia già avuto modo di mettere in carniere letture di un certo calibro, tra cui l’amatissima Anna Karenina, il giovane appassionato di storie non può immaginare che stavolta sarà tutto diverso. Man mano che si avventura nel folto intricato di quelle pagine, scandite da periodi che indugiano su se stessi incuranti della pazienza del lettore, concatenati in una sintassi apparentemente involuta che sembra non dover condurre da nessuna parte, l’immediatezza di lettura, l’entusiasmo spontaneo lasciano spazio a una perplessità incredula. Ci vorrà del tempo perché quella perplessità riveli la sua natura: fascinazione. Di quelle destinate a cambiare il corso dell’esistenza. A distanza di tanti anni, ora che il tempo ha cristallizzato quelle prime impressioni, Alessandro Piperno si volge, per la prima volta in modo così intimo, alle ragioni di quell’incontro felice. Proust non è soltanto l’autore a cui ha consacrato buona parte della sua vita intellettuale. Che lo ha ispirato, come nessun altro scrittore ha saputo fare. Da un certo momento in poi è diventato fatalmente la misura per leggere gli autori amati, Montaigne, Woolf, Nabokov, Roth. Attraverso "brevi divagazioni di marca plutarchiana, questo libro offre un approccio arbitrario e vecchio stampo che forse, se preso nel giusto verso, potrà giovare sia alla comprensione di Proust che a quella dei maestri che ho voluto affiancargli". Alessandro Piperno è nato a Roma, dove vive, nel 1972. Insegna letteratura francese a Tor Vergata. È curatore della collana I Meridiani. Nel 2005 ha pubblicato per Mondadori Con le peggiori intenzioni, il suo primo romanzo, vincitore del premio Campiello Opera prima. È inoltre autore dei saggi Proust antiebreo  (Franco Angeli, 2000), Il demone reazionario. Sulle tracce del Baudelaire di Sartre (Gaffi, 2007), Contro la memoria (Fandango, 2012). Nel 2010 è uscito da Mondadori Persecuzione (che in Francia è stato finalista ai premi Médicis e Femina e ha vinto il Prix du meilleur livre étranger) e che insieme a Inseparabili (premio Strega 2012) dà vita al dittico dal titolo Il fuoco amico dei ricordi. Sempre per Mondadori sono usciti i romanzi Dove la storia finisce (2016) e Di chi è la colpa (2021), e i saggi Pubblici infortuni (2013) e Il manifesto del libero lettore (2017)....

5 Bvlgari Watches That Keep men Sassy | The Hour Markers

One of the most prominent and sought-after luxury brands in the world is Bvlgari. Founded in Rome in 1884 by Sotirio Boulgaris, a Greek silversmith (who later changed his surname to appear more Italian), the Italian brand is highly regarded for its jewelry, fragrances, and accessories, and most crucially, its watches.

While Bvlgari may be best known for its jewelry, it has long been respected as a serious player in the world of fine watchmaking. Contrary to many luxury brands, Bvlgari has made significant investments in its horological expertise. For example, in the 2000s, Bvlgari expanded its watchmaking expertise by purchasing renowned brands like Daniel Roth and Gérald Genta, the name brand of the man who created legends like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. In fact, Bvlgari's Octo Finissimo line has produced numerous world firsts in the watch industry, with notable examples including the thinnest mechanical chronograph, minute repeater, and most recently, timepiece in history.

The fact that Bulgari watches are Swiss-made and feature incredibly sophisticated in-house movements makes them a genuinely feasible alternative to some of the great names in the market. Most significantly, compared to other luxury watch competitors, Bvlgari watches offer a wholly unique appearance. They seamlessly meld the worlds of fine jewelry and expensive horology since they are both bold and elegant.

Here are our five Bvlgari watches for men that keep it sassy.

Bvlgari Octo Roma:

The Octo Roma is available in a wide variety of dial colors and complications, but we’re big fans of this brown time and date-only variant. A rich, lush brown like this is unique - and really gorgeous. Right now, blue and green dials are all the rage in the watch industry. The thick alligator leather band and the dial go together beautifully.

Let’s start with the Bvlgari Octo Roma. The historic Basilica di Massenzio, a notable Roman landmark, served as an inspiration for Bulgari's Octo watches, which are renowned for their distinctive octagonal case shapes. The Octo Roma, too, is a landmark watch for Bvlgari: architectural, distinctive, and stylish, it’s a great watch for all occasions.

This Octo Roma is 41mm in diameter and powered by Bvlgari’s in-house BVL 191 Solotempo caliber, which is decorated with Côtes de Genève, chamfering, and snails. It’s pretty to look at through its sapphire crystal case back. A 42-hour power reserve and 50m of water resistance round out this versatile watch.

2. Bvlgari Octo Finissimo

Bvlgari's Octo Finissimo series, a different take on the Octo, has been available since 2014. Compared to the Octo Roma, it is sleeker and features a fantastic integrated bracelet. How thin? 6.4 mm. That’s pretty impressive! Water-resistant to 100 meters and boasting a 60-hour power reserve, its BVL 138 Finissimo movement features a platinum micro-rotor – something very much in vogue at the moment.

Bvlgari has never chosen a satin-polished casing for the collection; all previous iterations of the Octo Finissimo were sandblasted. This Bvlgari offers unmistakable proof that this is untrue if you have ever had the mindset that a watch's case finish has no bearing on the watch itself.

3. Bulgari Bvlgari

The Bulgari Bvlgari was the first (named after the double usage of the brand’s name emblazoning the watch’s bezel) and is one of the most famous designs Bulgari has ever produced. Clean, crisp, and true to Bulgari’s Roman roots, it’s a classic design.

The 2022 Bulgari Bvlgari, in contrast to earlier versions of the watch from the 1970s, has a Swiss-made, in-house BVL 191 Solotempo caliber (the same movement that drives the Octo Roma above) and a 41 mm stainless steel casing with a Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish.

4. Bvlgari Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon

The Bvlgari Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon might be for you if you're strapped for cash and want a great statement piece. It’s a real piece of Haute Horlogerie that throws out many of the conventions associated with minute repeaters. For those who need a refresher, a repeater is a device that chimes the time at the press of a button. A minute repeater, which uses distinct tones for hours, quarter hours, and minutes, particularly chimes the time down to the minute.

Watch minute repeaters are one of the most traditional and complex watch complications. Consequently, the designs of timepieces that have them tend to be extremely conservative. The back and baseband of the in-house manual winding BVL428 caliber both include special cavities that further scatter the sound, and the dial, which is actually the top plate of the case, is also made to maximize sound dispersion.

Additionally, the Octo Roma Carillon Tourbillon is made of platinum, with a 72-hour power reserve and a massive freaking tourbillon in pride of place at 6 o'clock (with those case band and back elements crafted from titanium). Bvlgari has a wide range.

5. Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Sandblasted Black Ceramic

Last but not least, thought we were done with the Octo Finissimo? Think again. The ultra-thin clock from Bulgari is offered in a variety of materials and finishes, each of which offers a distinctive interpretation of the octagonal shape. Who doesn't appreciate an all-black timepiece? Let's have a look at this black sandblasted ceramic model. It is additionally available in polished ceramic.

However, they prefer the matte finish to the gleaming polished version because it is more subdued and won't draw attention to itself right away. This model doesn’t get the 100-meter water resistance enjoyed by some of its stainless steel siblings (instead you get 30 meters), but the same BVL 148 Finissimo caliber can be found beating away inside the 5.5mm ceramic case.
