Another year is over, and 2022 is set to go out with a bang tonight, as London’s famous fireworks display is back for the first time since 2019.
Whether you’re off on a night out, wrapping up warm to watch a firework display, or having a cosy night in, this year’s celebrations are likely to be bigger than ever, after 2020 and 2021 celebrations were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
But just who will get to see in 2023 first?
Let’s find out.
What is the first country in the world to celebrate New Year?
The first country – or countries – in the world to mark New Year will actually be the small Pacific Island nations of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati/Christmas Island.
They’ll be ringing in the new year at 10am GMT, sparking off a day’s worth of celebrations around the globe.
Next in line will be New Zealand, who’ll say hello to 2023 at around 10.15am GMT.

As it stands the UK will be one of the last countries to celebrate the New Year – and we’ll do so at the same time as Ireland, Iceland, Ghana and Portugal, and an hour later than most of Europe.
However, that won’t be the end of New Year celebrations, as North and South America will be the final part of the world to see 2023.
The last place which will welcome the New Year will be Baker Island and Howland Island, two unoccupied US Islands in the Pacific – but the last occupied territory to celebrate January 1 will be American Samoa at 11am GMT tomorrow morning.
What time is it in Australia?
Australia is known for kicking off the New Year in spectacular fashion with huge fireworks display over Sydney.

They’ll also be among the first countries to see in 2023, although the time varies according to where you are in Australia.
Sydney and Melbourne are 11 hours ahead of the UK – meaning they’ll be celebrating New Year at 1pm GMT.
Adelaide, meanwhile, is 10 and a half hours ahead of UK time, while Brisbane is 10 hours ahead and Perth is only eight hours ahead.

Australia celebrated its first restriction-free New Year’s Eve after two years of COVID disruptions, as the world began bidding farewell to a year marked for many by the war in Ukraine, economic stresses and the effects of global warming.
Revellers celebrated across Asia from China to the Philippines to Thailand.
Sydney, one of the world’s first major cities to welcome in the New Year, did so with a typically dazzling fireworks display, which for the first time featured a rainbow waterfall off the famous Harbour Bridge.
“This New Year’s Eve, we are saying Sydney is back as we kick off festivities around the world and bring in the New Year with a bang,” said Clover Moore, lord mayor of the city, ahead of the events.
Lockdowns at the end of 2020 and a surge in Omicron cases at the end of 2021 led to crowd restrictions and reduced festivities in Australia. However, curbs on celebrations were lifted this year after Australia, like many countries around the world, re-opened its borders and removed social distancing restrictions.
The display in Sydney featured thousands of fireworks launched from the four sails of the Sydney Opera House and from the Harbour Bridge.
In China, rigorous COVID restrictions were lifted only this month in the government’s reversal of its “zero-COVID” policy, a switch that has led to soaring infections and meant some people were in no mood to celebrate.
In the city of Wuhan, where the pandemic began three years ago, tens of thousands of people gathered to celebrate amid a heavy security presence.
Barricades were erected and hundreds of police officers and other security workers stood guard on the night of the first large-scale spontaneous gathering in the city since nationwide protests in late November – soon after which Chinese authorities all but abandoned the zero-COVID policy.
In Shanghai, many thronged the historic riverside walkway, the Bund.
Bottom of Form
“We’ve all travelled in from Chengdu to celebrate in Shanghai,” said Da Dai, a 28-year-old digital media executive who was travelling with two friends. “We’ve already had COVID, so now feel it’s safe to enjoy ourselves.”
Days after Hong Kong lifted limits on group gatherings, tens of thousands of people gathered near the city’s Victoria Harbour for a countdown. Lights beamed from some of the city’s biggest harbour-front buildings.
It was the city’s biggest New Year’s Eve celebration in several years. The event was cancelled in 2019 due to often violent social unrest and was scaled down in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
Malaysia’s government cancelled its New Year countdown and fireworks event at Dataran Merdeka in Kuala Lumpur after flooding across the nation displaced tens of thousands of people and a landslide killed 31 people this month.
Celebrations at the country’s famous Petronas Twin Towers were pared down with no performances or fireworks.
Earlier in the day, Russian President Vladimir Putin devoted his annual New Year’s address to rallying the Russian people behind his troops fighting in Ukraine.
Paris was set to stage its first New Year’s fireworks since 2019. A 10-minute firework show was set to kick off at midnight, with 500,000 people expected to gather on Champs-Elysees avenue to watch.
Heavy rain and strong winds on Saturday meant firework shows in the Netherlands’s main cities including Amsterdam and The Hague – and the nationally televised display in the port city of Rotterdam – were cancelled.

So long, 2022. Hello, 2023.
Revelers are ringing in the new year with celebrations across the globe.
Last year, with the rapid spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant, many cities across the world scaled back their celebrations — some canceled their events altogether.
But this year, we could be seeing a return to something closer to the norm. New York’s Times Square, for example, is expected to return to full capacity.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Revelers in major city centers across Europe and the Middle East were ushering in 2023 with countdowns and fireworks, as many cities around the globe celebrated New Year’s Eve without restrictions for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Children crowded a metro station in Kharkiv, Ukraine, to meet with St. Nicholas and enjoy a special performance ahead of the new year. Meanwhile, some soldiers who said they usually celebrate the holiday with family decided to stay in the trenches as they sought to defend their country.

Others in Ukraine returned to the capital, Kyiv, to spend New Year’s Eve with their loved ones. As Russian attacks continue to target power supplies, leaving millions without electricity, no big celebrations were planned. A curfew was to be in place as the clock struck midnight.
French President Emmanuel Macron delivered “a message of unity and trust” in a televised address Saturday. Referencing the war in Ukraine several times, Macron also sent a message to France’s “Ukrainian friends,” saying “we respect and admire you.”
“During the coming year, we will be unfailingly at your side. We will help you until victory and we will be together to build a just and lasting peace. Count on France and count on Europe,” he said.

Turkey’s most populous city, Istanbul, was bringing in 2023 with street festivities and fireworks. At St. Antuan Catholic Church on Istanbul’s popular pedestrian thoroughfare Istiklal Avenue, dozens of Christians prayed for the new year and marked former Pope Benedict XVI’s passing. The Vatican announced Benedict died Saturday at age 95.
The Pacific nation of Kiribati was the first country to greet the new year, with the clock ticking into 2023 one hour ahead of neighbors including New Zealand.
In Auckland, large crowds gathered below the Sky Tower, where a 10-second countdown to midnight preceded fireworks. The celebrations in New Zealand’s largest city were well-received after COVID-19 forced them to be canceled a year ago.
There was a scare in the North Island coastal city of Tauranga, about 225 kilometers (140 miles) from Auckland, when a bouncing castle was blown 100 meters (yards). Tauranga City Council reported one person was hospitalized and four people were treated on site.

Over 1 million people crowded along Sydney’s waterfront for a multi-million dollar celebration based around the themes of diversity and inclusion. More than 7,000 fireworks were launched from the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and a further 2,000 from the nearby Opera House.
It was the “party Sydney deserves,” the city’s producer of major events and festivals Stephen Gilby told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“We have had a couple of fairly difficult years; we’re absolutely delighted this year to be able to welcome people back to the foreshores of Sydney Harbor for Sydney’s world-famous New Year’s Eve celebrations,” he said.
In Melbourne, Australia’s second largest city, a family-friendly fireworks display along the Yarra River as dusk fell preceded a second session at midnight.

Authorities in military-ruled Myanmar announced a suspension of its normal four-hour curfew in the country’s three biggest cities so residents could celebrate New Year’s Eve. However, opponents of army rule urged people to avoid public gatherings, fearing that security forces might stage a bombing or other attack and blame it on them.
Concerns about the Ukraine war and the economic shocks it has spawned across the globe were felt in Tokyo, where Shigeki Kawamura has seen better times but said he needed a free, hot meal this New Year’s.
“I hope the war will be over in Ukraine so prices will stabilize,” he said. “Nothing good has happened for the people since we’ve had Mr. Kishida,” he said, referring to Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
He was one of several hundred people huddled in the cold in a line circling a Tokyo park to receive free New Year’s meals of sukiyaki, or slices of beef cooked in sweet sauce, with rice.

“I hope the new year will bring work and self-reliance,” said Takaharu Ishiwata, who lives in a group home and hasn’t found lucrative work in years.
Kenji Seino, who heads the meal program for the homeless Tenohasi, which means “bridge of hands,” said the number of people coming for meals was rising, with jobs becoming harder to find after the coronavirus pandemic hit, and prices going up.
Associated Press journalists Henry Hou in Beijing, Renata Brito in Kyiv, Yuri Kagayema in Tokyo, Grant Peck in Bangkok, Zeynep Bilginsoy in Istanbul and Thomas Adamson in Paris contributed to this report.

INSURRECTION
An act or instance of rising in revolt, rebellion, or resistance against civil authority or an established government.

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — It’s a day that will live on in infamy in American history.
January, 6 2021 — when rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, terrorizing lawmakers and vandalizing a meeting place of the nation’s legislature, and symbol of the American people.
It’s now been a year since the breach happened. Here are some of the most striking photos from that day.
Tensions were high that Wednesday, as a joint session of Congress prepared to gather inside the Capitol to affirm now-President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election. But before they gathered, supporters of former President Donald Trump rallied in Washington.
“We will never give up. We will never concede,” Trump told the roaring crowd.

Less than an hour after the rally ended, the chaos began. A wave of protestors started swarming the Capitol. Thousands of people gathered to show their support for President Donald Trump and his claims of election fraud. Insurrectionists violently worked to break their way through a police barrier, and successfully did so.

Things quickly took a turn for the worse. After bulldozing their way through law enforcement, rioters even began climbing the west wall of the Capitol building, gearing up to force their way inside.

WATCH: Rep. Raskin says Trump saw ‘the bloody attack unfold,’ but did not act fast enough on Jan. 6
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said former President Donald Trump’s behavior during the Jan. 6 attack was not enough to stop the violence, despite immediate and repeated appeals from those around him. Raskin illustrated Trump’s reported lack of urgency on Oct. 13 as the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack presented its findings to the public. Raskin said the committee has evidence that Trump refused calls from close advisors and family to make a public announcement as the violence began. Members of Fox News and Republican Party leaders pleaded with Trump to tell the crowd to go home, Raskin said. New footage shows efforts by congressional leaders attempting to call for law enforcement to step in at the same time crowds broke windows and breached the Capitol on live television. “The president watched the bloody attack unfold on Fox News from his dining room,” Raskin said. “Members of Congress and other government officials stepped into the gigantic leadership void created by the president’s chilling and steady passivity that day.” In the week following Jan. 6, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., publicly stated that Trump “bears responsibility” for the attack and “should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.” Raskin concluded his remarks by stating that “nothing in law or fact” could justify Trump’s failure to act and that the 14th Amendment “disqualifies from the federal and state office anyone who has sworn an oath to defend the Constitution but betrays it by engaging in insurrection or rebellion.” The committee returned to its public-facing work after nearly three months, having rescheduled the current hearing two weeks ago in light of Hurricane Ian.

At 2:12 p.m. on Jan. 6, supporters of President Trump began climbing through a window they had smashed on the northwest side of the U.S. Capitol. “Go! Go! Go!” someone shouted as the rioters, some in military gear, streamed in. It was the start of the most serious attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812. The mob coursed through the building, enraged that Congress was preparing to make Trump’s electoral defeat official. “Drag them out! … Hang them out!” rioters yelled at one point, as they gathered near the House chamber. Officials in the House and Senate secured the doors of their respective chambers, but lawmakers were soon forced to retreat to undisclosed locations. Five people died on the grounds that day, including a Capitol police officer. In all, more than 50 officers were injured. To reconstruct the pandemonium inside the Capitol, The Washington Post examined text messages, photos and hundreds of videos, some of which were exclusively obtained. By synchronizing the footage and locating some of the camera angles within a digital 3-D model of the building, The Post was able to map the rioters’ movements and assess how close they came to lawmakers — in some cases feet apart or separated only by a handful of vastly outnumbered police officers.

Called to action by Trump,[32][33] thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., on January 5 and 6 to support his false claim that the 2020 election had been “stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats”[34][35][36][37] and to demand that Vice President Mike Pence and Congress reject Biden’s victory.[38] Starting at noon on January 6,[39] at a “Save America” rally on the Ellipse, Trump repeated false claims of election irregularities[40] and said, “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”[41][42] In his hour-long speech Trump included 22 grammatical variations of the word “fight”.[41][42][43] During and after his speech,[39] thousands of attendees, including many that Trump knew to be armed, walked to the Capitol and hundreds breached police perimeters[44][45] as Congress was beginning the electoral vote count.
More than 2,000 rioters entered the building,[46][47][48] many of whom occupied, vandalized, and looted it,[49][50] assaulted Capitol Police officers and reporters, and attempted to locate lawmakers to capture and harm them.[51] A gallows was erected west of the Capitol, and some rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence” after he rejected false claims by Trump and others that the vice president could overturn the election results.[52] Some vandalized and looted the offices of House SpeakerNancy Pelosi (D?CA) and other members of Congress.[53] With building security breached, Capitol Police evacuated and locked down both chambers of Congress and several buildings in the Capitol Complex.[54] Rioters occupied the empty Senate chamber while federal law enforcement officers defended the evacuated House floor.[55][56]Pipe bombs were found at each of the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters, and Molotov cocktails were discovered in a vehicle near the Capitol.[57][58]
Trump resisted sending the National Guard to quell the mob.[59] Later that afternoon, in a Twitter video, he reasserted that the election was “fraudulent” but told his supporters to “go home in peace”.[60][61] The Capitol was clear of rioters by mid-evening,[62] and the counting of the electoral votes resumed and was completed in the early morning hours of January 7. Pence declared President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris victorious. Pressured by his administration, the threat of removal, and many resignations, Trump later committed to an orderly transition of power in a televised statement.[63][64]
A week after the riot, the House of Representatives impeached Trump for incitement of insurrection, making him the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice.[65] In February, after Trump had left office, the Senate voted 57–43 in favor of conviction; because this fell short of a two-thirds majority, requiring 67 votes, he was acquitted for a second time.[66] The House passed a bill to create a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the attack, modeled after the 9/11 Commission,[67] but it was blocked by Republicans in the Senate,[51] so the House approved a select committee with seven Democrats and two Republicans to investigate instead.[68][69] By March 2022, Justice Department investigations of participants in the attack had expanded to include activities of others leading up to the attack.[70]
More than 30 members of anti-government groups, including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and Three Percenters, were charged with conspiracy for allegedly planning their attacks on the Capitol; ten Oath Keepers and five Proud Boys were charged with seditious conspiracy,[71][72] and one Oath Keeper pled guilty.[73][74] As of January 2022, at least 57 people with roles in the day’s events were running for public office.[75] Although most people charged with crimes relating to the attack had no known affiliation with far-right or extremist groups,[27][76][77] a significant number were linked toextremist groups or conspiratorial movements.[78] By October 2022, 417 individuals charged had pleaded guilty.[79]
During summer 2022, the January 6th committee held eight televised public hearings on the January 6 attack. The ninth hearing was scheduled for September 28, 2022, but delayed due to Hurricane Ian.[80] The ninth hearing was moved to October 13,[81] and ended with a vote to subpoena Trump.[82]
Within hours after the closing of the polls, while votes were still being tabulated, Trump declared victory, demanding that further counting be halted.[85] He began a campaign to subvert the election, through legal challenges and an extralegal effort. Trump’s lawyers had concluded within ten days after the election that legal challenges to the election results had no factual basis or legal merit.[37] Despite those analyses, he sought to overturn the results by initiating the filing of at least sixty lawsuits, including two brought to the Supreme Court. Those actions sought to nullify election certifications and to void votes that had been cast for Biden. Those challenges were all rejected by the courts for lack of evidence or the absence of legal standing.[84]
Trump then mounted a campaign to pressure Republican governors, secretaries of state, and state legislatures to nullify results by replacing slates of Biden electors with those declared to Trump, or by manufacturing evidence of fraud. He further demanded that lawmakers investigate ostensible election “irregularities” such as by conducting signature matches of mailed-in ballots, disregarding any prior analytic efforts. Trump also personally made inquiries proposing the invocation of martial law to “re-run” or reverse the election[84][86] and the appointment of a special counsel to find instances of fraud, despite conclusions by federal and state officials that such cases were few and isolated or non-existent. Trump ultimately undertook neither step.[84] Trump repeatedly urged Vice President Mike Pence to alter the results and to stop Biden from taking office. None of those actions would have been within Pence’s constitutional powers as vice president and president of the Senate. Trump repeated this call in his rally speech on the morning of January 6.[87]
Some have characterized these attempts to overturn the election as an attempted coup d’état,[88] and an implementation of the big lie.[10] On October 31, 2021, a comprehensive and detailed account of the events before, during, and after the attack was published by The Washington Post.[89]
On December 18, four days after the Electoral College voted, Trump called for supporters to attend a rally before the January 6 Congressional vote count to continue his challenge to the validity of several states’ election results. Trump tweeted, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”[12][94] The “March to Save America” and rally that preceded the riots at the Capitol were initially organized by Women for America First, a 501(c)(4) organization chaired by Amy Kremer, co-founder of Women for Trump.[95] On January 1, 2021, they obtained a permit with an estimated attendance of 5,000 for a first amendment rally “March for Trump”.[96] In late 2020 and early 2021, Kremer organized and spoke at a series of events across the country as part of a bus tour to encourage attendance at the January 6 rally and support Trump’s efforts to overturn the election result.[97] Women for America First invited its supporters to join a caravan of vehicles traveling to the event. Event management was carried out by Event Strategies, a company founded by Tim Unes, who worked for Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.[95]
On January 2, Trump retweeted a post by Kremer promoting the January 6 rally, adding that he would be there. From that point, although Kremer still held the permit, planning essentially passed to the White House.[97] Trump discussed the speaking lineup and the music to be played at the event. Although the initial plan for the rally called for people to remain at the Ellipse until the counting of electoral slates was complete, the White House said they should march to the Capitol, as Trump repeatedly urged during his speech.[37]
For several weeks before the event, there were over one million mentions of storming the capitol on social media, including calls for violence against Congress, Pence, and police. This was done on “alt-tech” platforms[a] such as news aggregator website Patriots.win,[b] chat app Telegram and microblogging websites Gab and Parler,[c] as well as on mainstream social media platforms, such as TikTok.[105] Many of the posters planned for violence before the event; some discussed how to avoid police on the streets, which tools to bring to help pry open doors, and how to smuggle weapons into the city.[104] They discussed their perceived need to attack the police.[103][106][107] Following clashes with Washington, D.C. police during protests on December 12, 2020, the Proud Boys and other far-right groups turned against supporting law enforcement.[108] At least one group, Stop the Steal, posted on December 23, 2020, its plans to occupy the Capitol with promises to “escalate” if opposed by police.[105] Multiple sites graphically and explicitly discussed “war”, physically taking charge at the event, and killing politicians, even soliciting opinions about which politician should be hanged first, with a GIF of a noose.[103]Joan Donovan, research director at Harvard‘s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, said that key figures in the Unite the Right rally and the Gamergate online harassment campaign worked to raise online fury ahead of the attack.[109]Facebook and Twitter have also been cited as playing a role in the fomenting of the Capitol attack.[110]
On the January 4, 2021, edition of Real America’s Voice’s The War Room (podcast), Steve Bannon, while discussing the planning for the upcoming events and speech by Trump on January 6 at The Ellipse, said: “Live from our nation’s capital, you’re in the field headquarters of one of the small divisions of the bloodless coup.”[111][112]
January 6 Trump rally
The “Save America” rally (or “March to Save America”, promoted as a “Save America March”)[199] took place on January 6 in the Ellipse within the National Mall just south of the White House. The permit granted to Women for America First showed their first amendment rally “March for Trump” with speeches running from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and an additional hour for the conclusion of the rally and dispersal of participants.[96]
Trump supporters gathered on the Ellipse to hear speeches from Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and others, such as Chapman University School of Law professor John C. Eastman, who spoke, at least in part, based on his memorandums, which have been described as an instruction manual for a coup d’état.[200][201] In a court filing in February, a member of the Oath Keepers claimed she had acted as “security” at the rally, and was provided with a “VIP pass to the rally where she met with Secret Service agents”. The U.S. Secret Service denied that any private citizens had coordinated with it to provide security on January 6.[202] On February 22, she changed her story and said she interacted with the Secret Service only as she passed through the security check before the rally.[203]
Mo Brooks (R-AL) was a featured speaker at the rally and spoke around 9 a.m., where he said, “Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass”. And later, “Are you willing to do what it takes to fight for America? Louder! Will you fight for America?”[204][205]
Representative Madison Cawthorn (R–NC) said, “This crowd has some fight”.[206] Amy Kremer told attendees, “it is up to you and I to save this Republic” and called on them to “keep up the fight”.[97] Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, along with Eric’s wife Lara Trump, also spoke, naming and verbally attacking Republican congressmen and senators who were not supporting the effort to challenge the Electoral College vote, and promising to campaign against them in future primary elections.[207] Donald Jr. said of Republican lawmakers, “If you’re gonna be the zero and not the hero, we’re coming for you”.[208][209]
Rudy Giuliani repeated conspiracy theories that voting machines used in the election were “crooked” and at 10:50 called for “trial by combat“.[210][211] Eastman asserted that balloting machines contained “secret folders” that altered voting results.[212][f] At 10:58, a Proud Boys contingent left the rally and marched toward the Capitol Building.[39]
Interim United States Attorney Michael R. Sherwin holds a press conference on criminal charges related to the events at the Capitol
By February 1, 228 people from 39 states and DC had been charged with federal and/or DC offences.[469] By April 23, 439 people had been charged.[470] By early September, there were over 600 federal defendants, 10% of whom had pled guilty,[471] and hundreds more arrests expected to come.[472] By October 13, there were over 630 federal defendants and 100 guilty pleas, with BuzzFeed publishing a searchable table of the plea deals.[473] On January 6, 2022, exactly one year following the attack, over 725 people had been charged for their involvement; as of March 2022, 778 have already been charged in relation to the attack.[474]
Most defendants face “two class-B misdemeanor counts for demonstrating in the Capitol and disorderly conduct, and two class-A misdemeanor counts for being in a restricted building and disruptive activity,” according to BuzzFeed, and therefore most plea deals address those misdemeanors. Some defendants have been additionally charged with felonies.[475] The median prison sentence, for those convicted thus far, is 45 days, with those who committed violence facing longer incarceration periods. Other punishments include home detention, fines, probation, and community service.[474] On January 13, 2022, 10 members of the Oath Keepers, including founder Stewart Rhodes, were arrested and charged with seditious conspiracy.[71]
By March 2022, Justice Department investigations of participants in the attack had expanded to include activities of others leading up to the attack. A federal grand jury was empaneled that issued at least one subpoena seeking records about people who organized, spoke at, or provided security at Trump rallies, as well as information about members of the executive and legislative branches who may have taken part in planning or executing the rallies, or attempted to “obstruct, influence, impede or delay” the certification of the election.[476][70]
On June 17, 2022, after the January 6 Committee had held three hearings, Trump told a Faith and Freedom Coalition conference that he might run again for president and if elected he would “very very seriously” consider pardoning all those who stormed the Capitol. Reporting on Trump’s speech, NBC News reported that Trump expressed no regrets about January 6 and “doubled down” on his unfounded claims about the election.[477] On September 1, 2022, Trump similarly pledged to “very, very strongly” consider “full pardons with an apology” if reelected.[478]
More than seventy countries and international organizations expressed their concerns over the attack and condemned the violence, with some specifically condemning President Donald Trump‘s own role in inciting the attack.[506][507] Foreign leaders, diplomats, politicians, and institutions expressed shock, outrage, and condemnation of the events.[508][509] Multiple world leaders made a call for peace, describing the riots as “an attack on democracy”.[510] The leaders of some countries, including Brazil, Poland and Hungary, declined to condemn the situation, and described it as an internal U.S. affair.[511]
As early as January 2021, a few European security officials described the events as an attempted coup.[512]

How did Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn go from being an elite soldier overseas to waging a “spiritual war” in America? An investigation with the Associated Press. This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: http://www.pbs.org/donate. In “Michael Flynn’s Holy War,” FRONTLINE and the Associated Press examine how the retired three-star general and first national security adviser to former President Donald Trump has emerged as a leader in a far-right movement that seeks to put its brand of Christianity at the center of American civic life and institutions and is attracting election deniers, conspiracists and extremists from around the country. Drawing on interviews with 125 people, including Flynn’s family, friends, critics, current and former colleagues — and Flynn himself — the documentary illustrates how Flynn’s influence has grown since the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol — and how his pedigree and military career, combined with his connection to high-powered, well-financed political groups, have allowed him to travel the country and advance his movement since January 6. In the run-up to the 2022 midterm elections, “Michael Flynn’s Holy War” is a revealing look at the rise of one of the Republican party’s most active and polarizing political allies, and what his growing influence might mean for future U.S. elections. “Michael Flynn’s Holy War” is supported by Preserving Democracy, a public media reporting initiative from The WNET Group. The documentary is a FRONTLINE production with Midnight Films, LLC in partnership with The Associated Press. The director and writer is Richard Rowley.

The year 2020 brought with it a nation riddled with grief as the United States descended into a raging pandemic, steep economic downfall, and unsettling political instability. As half a million perished and millions were left jobless from coronavirus, what was really going on inside the White House? And who was influencing Donald Trump as he refused to concede power after an election he had clearly lost? Washington Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker answer these questions for the American people in I Alone Can Fix It, a gripping exposé of an administration sabotaging its own country. Their sources were in the room as Trump and the key players around him—doctors, generals, senior advisors and family members—continued to prioritize the interests of the president over that of the country. These witnesses saw firsthand Trump’s desire to deploy military force against protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death. They saw his refusal to take coronavirus seriously, even to the point of allowing himself and those around him to be infected. They, along with the rest of the world, saw him spur on what would become the January 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol building. With unparalleled access, Rucker and Leonnig delve into exactly who they say enabled—and who foiled—the president as he desperately held onto his fleeting presidency in his final year in office. Join us as Leonnig and Rucker reveal the inner workings of the 2020 Trump White House. NOTES Leonnig photo by Marvin Joseph; Rucker photo by Melina Mara.

Peter Baker and Susan Glasser: The Donald Trump White House Years 58:38 mins
From its chaotic beginning to the violent finale, the Trump presidency was filled with moments ranging from the unthinkable to the deadly serious. That has continued until these past several weeks, and the man at the center of all of this could announce he is running for president again. That makes understanding his presidency even more important today. Veteran journalists Peter Baker and Susan Glasser chart the ambitious and lasting history of the Trump presidency, drawing on unprecedented access to key players from President Trump himself to cabinet officers, military generals, and more. Based on these exclusive interviews, Baker and Glasser reveal moments both tense and comical, from how close the United States got to nuclear war with North Korea to whether Trump asked Japan’s prime minister to nominate him for a Nobel Prize. They also explore the moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for him and where they drew their lines.

Ing’s comment on Democracy of USA
WHEN WE LOSE THE DEMOCRATIC WAY OF LIVE ——-
NO FREEDOM, NO EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL,
ONLY BILLIONAIRE, AUTOCRACY,
SLAVE WORKERS AND HOMELESSNESS REMAIN
At present, democracy in the United States of America, is balancing on a tight rope. At any moment, it can falter and tumble if the extreme right-wing of the Republican party gains control of Congress. If Republican leader, Keven McCarthy, controls the House of Representatives, and Republican leader Mitch McConnell, takes control of the Senate, the government will return to the extreme right-wing policies of the Trump administration even before the presidential election of 2024.
Former president Trump, worked hand in glove with Mitch McConnell, to stack the Supreme Court with three new replacements, of ultra conservative right-wing judges. When added to the three conservative Judges already on the court, it has created a dangerous super majority that has already begun to overturn settled law, in favor of right-wing extremist ideology. It is now impossible for the three remaining liberal judges to prevent these actions from taking place.
The Conservative court has already used its power support major challenges to settled law brought before the court that involve issues such as civil rights, and abortion rights. Roe V Wade, has been the law of the land for over fifty years, but has already been gutted. The conservative Supreme Court majority has removed the rights of women to decide for themselves whether an abortion is an appropriate choice for their circumstance. Even when a ten years old girl is raped and becomes pregnant, in many states she is obligated to have the child. In some states, even when the pregnancy will cause harm to a woman, the law forces her to carry her pregnancy to the end of the term. Where are the rights of women? Are we retuning to a dark age when women had no rights at all?
Mr. Trump with assistance from Mitch McConnell also appointed two hundred Conservative Federal Court Judge positions to the bench. Because of this, states now have the ability to make laws that severely restrict abortion, making is essentially illegal. In contrast, when Barack Obama was president, he attempted to fill vacancies to the Supreme Court and Federal Courts but could not. President Obama’s nominees were blocked in every instance by the Republican controlled senate led by Mitch McConnell.
Just as significate in 2010, during the Obama administration, the Supreme Court, in the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case, upheld the right of corporations to make unlimited political expenditures under the first Amendment. This allowed corporations to donate as much money as they wish to help Republican politicians, win elections. In return, these politicians then helped pass laws that favor these corporations.
The right wing of the Republican party, which has now become the majority of that party, continues to attempt passing laws and use any other legal maneuver to strip away the rights of the majority of American citizens. The Midterm election of 2022 is perhaps the last chance for Democrats along with the few remaining centrist Republicans in Congress, to prevent the rightwing extremists taking full control of the government.
If the Republicans take control of both houses of Congress in the 2022 election, they will be able to control the vote count in the 2024 election. This is because they will have elected officials in many states who will be able to decertify the vote count in the presidential election of 2024.
This could mean the end of democracy in America because the vote count will be in the hands of those in power to continue in power. If this happens, through voting manipulation, Donald Trump is very likely to become President in 2024 and we will live in an Autocrat System with a leader that controls our lives in the same way Putin does in Russia, and Kim Jong-un does in North Korea. The democratic way of life for US citizens could end, and without democracy in the world’s most powerful nation, it will be under even greater threat throughout the world.
In our retirement years my husband and I watch with great sadness at what may unfold. We may suffer mentally and physically for the short time we have left, but future generations may suffer their whole lives under a repressive dictatorship. Our daughter, our little grandsons, and many other families will have to live without the freedom that earlier generations have known. I still have hope that sanity will prevail, and the United States of America will not lose our gift of freedom that has helped enlighten so many other nations of this world.
I am not a Democrat, Republican, or member of any political party, but I am for a democratic way of life. Democracy brings freedom of thought, action, and human rights for every citizen, allowing an opportunity to live peacefully in a healthy world.
Together we can face what will be the inevitable problem of global warming, which affect the lives of all of us. Many lives will be lost before all the complexities of the issue can be attended, but we must begin now or there will be nothing left on earth to care for.

Rep. Clyburn: If Trump wants to honor John Lewis, this is what he needs to do

John Robert Lewis, the son of sharecroppers who survived a brutal beating by police during a landmark 1965 march in Selma, Alabama, to become a towering figure of the civil rights movement and a longtime US congressman, has died after a six-month battle with cancer. He was 80. Lewis, a Democrat who served as the US representative for Georgia’s 5th congressional district for more than three decades, was widely seen as a moral conscience of Congress because of his decades-long embodiment of nonviolent fight for civil rights. His passionate oratory was backed by a long record of action that included, by his count, more than 40 arrests while demonstrating against racial and social injustice. A follower and colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., he participated in lunch counter sit-ins, joined the Freedom Riders in challenging segregated buses and — at the age of 23 — was a keynote speaker at the historic 1963 March on Washington. “Sometimes when I look back and think about it, how did we do what we did? How did we succeed? We didn’t have a website. We didn’t have a cellular telephone,” Lewis has said of the civil rights movement. “But I felt when we were sitting in at those lunch counter stools, or going on the Freedom Ride, or marching from Selma to Montgomery, there was a power and a force. God Almighty was there with us.” Lewis has said King inspired his activism. Angered by the unfairness of the Jim Crow South, he launched what he called “good trouble” with organized protests and sit-ins. In the early 1960s, he was a Freedom Rider, challenging segregation at interstate bus terminals across the South and in the nation’s capital. “We do not want our freedom gradual; we want to be free now,” he said at the time. At age 25, Lewis helped lead a march for voting rights on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, where he and other marchers were met by heavily armed state and local police who attacked them with clubs, fracturing Lewis’ skull. Images from that “Bloody Sunday” shocked the nation and galvanized support for the Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson. “I gave a little blood on that bridge,” he said years later. “I thought I was going to die. I thought I saw death.” Despite the attack and other beatings, Lewis never lost his activist spirit, taking it from protests to politics. He was elected to the Atlanta city council in 1981, then to Congress six years later. #JohnLewis#CNN#News

John Lewis Is a Personal Symbol for a Historic Period
By Bryant Rollins Nov. 14, 1976
Credit…The New York Times Archives
See the article in its original context from
November 14, 1976, Page 176Buy Reprints
John Lewis is a name from the past in the American civil rights movement, but it is also a name from the present, and perhaps the future, of American politics. Mr. Lewis, normally the most self?effacing of men, was prideful and expansive last week in declaring, as others have, that Southern black voters had been responsible for electing a Southern white politician President.
The claim is no more susceptible to final proof, or disproof, than others that have been and will be made; the closeness of the vote encourages the claims but also means all the votes are vital for Jimmy Carter. Yet Mr. Lewis has more evidence on his side than most: There has been a peaceful political revolution in the South, and Mr. Carter has been its first beneficiary. For instance:
In 1960 there were only about a million blacks registered to vote in the 11 states of the Deep South; there are now four million. In 1960 there were fewer than 50 black elected officials; now there are about 2,000, In 1960 any attempt by large numbers blacks to register to vote, or to organize politically in any effective way, was met with violent resistance by whites; today, black political participation is an accepted reality.
Last week, black voters apparently contributed substantially to Mr. Carter’s margin of victory in all the states of the Deep South except Virginia, which President Ford won. In Georgia, whites and blacks alike favored Mr. Carter. Elsewhere in the South, about 55 percent of the white voters preferred President Ford, but over 95 percent of the black voters favored Mr. Carter.
Even that near unanimity would not have mattered had it involved the insignificant black vote of the past. This year, 63 percent of registered Southerners, black and white, voted, compared with 53 percent nationwide.
John Lewis is not the only person responsible for that. Last Sunday in Atlanta he was one of about 100 blacks and whites who attended a reunion of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—the student?based activist group of the 1960’s—that Mr. Lewis once headed.
But there were few in that group, now largely over the antimagical age of 30 and mundanely middle class, who constitute a better individual symbol—both a barometer and a progenitor—of black progress from productive protest against a racist social system to productive groundwork within the political system.
He was born the third in a family of 10 children and raised near Troy, the seat of Pike County, Alabama. When he was three years old, in 1943, his sharecropper father took his life savings—$300—and bought his own farm. There, oh 100 acres of mostly cotton in the center of predominantly white farming country, John Lewis was raised in the rigidly segregated environment that prevailed.
That segregation began to break down with the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955, led by Dr. Martin Luther King. The boycott also provoked Mr. Lewis’ interest in nonviolent social protest. He says now:
“It was inconceivable to us that black people would openly defy white people in the state of Alabama. To see hundreds of thousands of Montgomery blacks refusing to ride the buses, walking together to work, and forming car pools, was a moving experience. We used to lie in the dark at night listening to the news on the radio.”
Mr. Lewis, now 36, is a Baptist minister, a vocation he inclined to when he was 10; Reverend King’s leadership in Montgomery gave form to Mr. Lewis’ aspirations. He decided then not to seek an institutional church connection, but to work for social change in the deep South, and to adopt a Gandhian based, nonviolent social action as his philosophy for life.
He gained a reputation during the civil rights movement years as a mystical person who had a sometimes irrational faith in his own survivability. One leader who knew him well said: “Some leaders, even the toughest, would occasionally finesse a situation where they knew they were going to get beaten or jailed. John never did that. He always went full force into the fray.”
The spirit of nonviolent protest generated by Dr. King and his associates grew into the most powerful social movement since the mass labor organizing of the 30’s. The white South was at first bemused, then angered and outraged, and the outrage was often expressed violently. Demonstrators were brutally beaten, jailed and some were killed.
Between 1960 and 1966, Mr. Lewis was arrested 40 times. His longest term in prison was 31 days in the Parchman Penitentiary in Mississippi. He was beaten on many occasions, several times almost beaten to death. In May of 1961, he was left unconscious in a pool of his own blood outside the Greyhound Bus Terminal in Montgomery after he and a score of others were attacked by hundreds of whites; the protestors had been trying to desegregate the bus terminal. Mr. Lewis was saved by a white Southern law enforcement official. He was seriously injured again in March of 1965 at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala.
The crash of racial barriers falling throughont the South was audible in the North; what was not so audible were the cries of personal pain that many of the civil rights workers suffered. John Lewis’ two concussions, at Montgomery and at Selma, and numerous other beatings, left him with severe, numbing pains in his head. Only in recent years have neurological specialists in Boston and New York helped to relieved some of his suffering.
If the personal pain went unremarked, the movement in which it was incurred did not. The 1964 public accommodations act resulted from national outrage at the beatings of the Freedom Riders; the 1964 Voting Rights Act followed the violence of state troopers in Selma. That legislation is what enabled Mr. Lewis to change the manner in which he pursued his devotional life.
He had been the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee from its formation 1963 until 1966. He was involved in other civil rights projects until 1970, when he began the work that bore its sweetest fruit on November 2nd.
As head of the Voter Education Project in Atlanta, a nonprofit organization funded mostly by foundation grants and with a full?time staff of 10, Mr. Lewis pursues tactics he used in the civil rights movement, and his organization’s activities during the recent campaign were typical.
He worked with Julian Bond and other prominent blacks for six months in the 11 states of the Deep South to register voters, sponsor voter education workshops and help get out the vote on Election Day. More than 100 local organizations were financed.
The voter education project spent about $500,000 much of it in grants of $1,000 to $2,000 to local chapters of the Urban League or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to local church groups of civic organizations. Nearly all of the groups were black; a few were biracial, and some were Spanish?speaking and native American. None were white.
Mr. Lewis stresses that the work was “nonpartisan.” For tax purposes his organization cannot conduct partisan political drives. It is clear, however, that most of those who register are Democrats.
The voter education project also produced radio and television spots, hundreds of posters and thousands of leaflets promoting voter registration. One of the most popular posters included a saying used in earlier voter registration drives by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee: “Hands that once picked cotton now can pick a President.”

Climate change is the defining issue
of our time and now is the defining moment to do something about it. There is
still time to tackle climate change, but it will require an unprecedented
effort from all sectors of society. To boost ambition and accelerate actions to
implement the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, UN Secretary-General António
Guterres is asking leaders, from government, business and civil society, to
come to the 2019 Climate Action Summit on 23 September with plans to address
the global climate emergency. The Summit will spark the transformation that is
urgently needed and propel action that will benefit everyone. Watch the morning
session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haewH… Find out
more: https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/i…#UNGA#UnitedNations#ClimateAction ——————- Secretary-General António
Guterres had warned world leaders not to come to his landmark Climate Action
Summit with “platitudes”, but to present concrete plans for cutting harmful
greenhouse gas emissions, and strategies for carbon neutrality by 2050. At the
closing of the summit today (23 Sep), he thanked them “for delivering.”
Guterres also thanked young people “for leading the charge and holding my
generation accountable.” He said, “we have been losing the fight against
climate crises, but the world is waking up. Pressure is building, momentum is
growing, and action by action the tide is turning.” He said, “77 countries,
many in the industrialized world, committed to net zero carbon emissions by
2050. They were joined by ten regions and more than 100 cities, including
several of the world’s largest. 70 countries announced they will boost their
National Determined Contributions by 2020. Well over 100 leaders in the private
sector committed to accelerating their move into the green economy.” 87 major
companies – with a combined market capitalization of over US$2.3 trillion, over
4.2 million employees, and annual direct emissions equivalent to 73 coal-fired
power plants – committed to setting climate targets across their operations.
These businesses include well-known brands such as Burberry, Danone, Ericsson,
Electrolux, IKEA, and Nestlé. A number of these companies went a step further,
by committing to “science-based targets”, which means that their corporate
emissions cuts can be independently assessed. In the finance sector, some of
the world’s largest pension funds and insurers, responsible for directing more
than $2 trillion in investments, have joined together to form the Asset Owner
Alliance, which committed to moving their portfolios to carbon-neutral investments
by 2050. The members of the Alliance are already engaging with companies in
which they are investing, to ensure that they are decarbonizing their business
models. The Secretary-General, nevertheless, said “much more is still needed to
reach carbon neutrality by 2050 and keep temperature rise to 1.5 degrees by the
end of the century.” He said, “we need more concrete plans, more ambition from
more countries and more businesses. And we need all financial institutions,
public and private, to choose once and for all the green economy. And we need
to see much more progress on carbon pricing and ending coal and other fossil
fuel subsidies in the months to come.” Among other initiatives, a total of 2000
cities committed to placing climate risk at the centre of their
decision-making, planning and investments: this includes launching 1,000
bankable, climate-smart urban projects, and creating innovative financing
mechanisms.

It measures roughly 35,000
kilometres. From Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. It runs across two continents and
through more than a dozen countries; sometimes, as a gravel track, but also as
an eight-lane motorway. It meanders through vast landscapes, as well as the
confines of major cities. For many, it is the absolutely perfect route: The
Pan-American Highway. It leads through forests and deserts, through jungles and
across high mountain passes. To the right and left of the Pan-Americana, drug
wars and civil wars are contended, Hollywood films produced and computer
programmes developed. And just a few thousand kilometres further south, Red
Indians still hunt with bows and arrows. For the very first time, a
Norddeutscher Rundfunk TV-team travelled the entire route – in search of history
and stories.

photographer Dan Marker-Moore (previously) flew south to document the solar eclipse
that occurred in Chile on July 2, 2019. While many professional photographers
also documented the event, most images capture the singular moment in one
image. Marker-Moore decided to break out the progression in orderly chart-like
designs. He shares with Colossal that he experimented with over one hundred
different format variants before deciding on the final five. Each image
contains between 26 and 425 photos of the sun. Read more about Marker-Moore’s

Filmmaker and educator Cao Shu captures the history of art in an experimental short film
that lasts for
less than one minute. Throughout the film, the central character goes
through the small motions of everyday movements like checking the time and
having a drink, with each frame rendered in a different art historical style.
The film starts in ancient Egypt and progresses through Chinese ink paintings
and Japanese block prints to Modigliani and Basquiat-style portraits. Cao
renders a vast array of art styles in a manner that is evocative without being
overworked. He lives and works in Hangzhou, where he teaches at the China
Academy of Art.

In this passionate call to action,
16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg explains why, in August 2018, she
walked out of school and organized a strike to raise awareness of global
warming, protesting outside the Swedish parliament and grabbing the world’s
attention. “The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have
all the facts and solutions,” Thunberg says. “All we have to do is to
wake up and change.”
This talk was presented to a local
audience at TEDxStockholm, an independent event. TED’s editors chose to feature
it for you.
Wherever you are, no matter your
age, join me in my climate strike. Sit outside your parliament or local
government building every Friday until your country is on a safe pathway to
being well below the two-degree Celsius warming target.

10 Scary Reasons To Stop Drinking Diet Soda Right
Now
Despite claims that the consumption of sugary drinks may lead to an estimated

$75-billion market. Nearly half of Americans drink at least one soda every
single day, in spite of all we know about the negative health effects of this
indulgence. Of course, many of us think we’re getting off the hook by opting
for a diet soda instead.

acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) as a way to prevent oil from
soaking through them, but when heated, these chemicals leach into the popcorn
and contaminate the blood when ingested. They have been linked to prostate
cancer and various tumors in animal organs.
The Anti-Cancer Diet: Cancer Fighting Foods To Help
Prevent Cancer
Enjoying a healthy diet can do much to lower your risk of developing serious
diseases such as cancer. Including foods in your diet such as plenty of green
leafy vegetables, fruits, berries, nuts, and oily fish can help prevent many
health issues. Although no single food can stop cancer, consuming more “cancer-fighting
foods” in your diet can help reduce your risk of developing the disease.

?????? ????????? is a Russian painter?, a master of whimsical and narrative
art. Subjects include fantasy landscapes, russian folklore, theatre and
mermaids.
Victor’s art can be highly symbolic with hidden clues to help decipher the
images. His work can also be humbly simple with images and subjects of
universal appeal.
They can be equally viewed for their vibrant textured colors that fill the
canvas and contrast with the translucent glazes that make the paintings dance
with light and pull in those who view it.
Victor breathes life into each work inviting the viewer into the painting as a
separate universe, one filled with boldness, energy and rich hues.
Victor Nizovtsev was born in Central Siberia, in the city of Ulan-Ude near Lake
Baikal. When Victor was a little boy his family moved from the Russian
Federation to the Republic of Moldova. Victor grew up in Kotovsk, a town
located in the heart of the region’s wine country and 30 miles southeast of the
capital of Moldova, Chisinau.
At age nine he entered Kotovsk’s Art School for Children where he studied for
four years.
In the 9th grade, he left home to study at Ilia Repin College for Art in
Chisinau. He then studied at the prestigious Vera Muhina University for
Industrial Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia. tuttartpitturasculturapoesiamusica.com

Google + closed their
operation on April 2, of this year, 2019.
It is more than one week now. The
more time goes by, the more I miss people who followed my google + site, and
people that contributed their time to post their work in different communities. I decided to present on my website, the
contents of last day of posts on my Google+ site, which I had been shared from
other members of my community and other Google+ communities.
It is to remind me of human
interaction and relationships around the world.
Even though I did not see them in person, communication and
participation with their ideas, and work, can interconnect our feeling of
kinship. I wish all of them the best,
and hope we may meet again in the future.
The lesson one learns is that we need more interactions and
communications between all humans around the world to be able to find kinship
with one another. This communication can
help reduce human conflict and war that occurs around the world, now, and in
the future.

This film is also available at https://to.pbs.org/hMZzq0 Watch Daniel Goldhagen’s ground-breaking documentary
focused on the worldwide phenomenon of genocide, which premiered on PBS on
April 14, 2010. To see this and other full-length PBS videos go to https://video.pbs.org. Please support your local PBS station at https://www.pbs.org/support “By the most fundamental measure — the number of
people killed — the perpetrators of mass murder since the beginning of the
twentieth century have taken the lives of more people than have died in
military conflict. So genocide is worse than war,” reiterates Goldhagen.
“This is a little-known fact that should be a central focus of
international politics, because once you know it, the world, international
politics, and what we need to do all begin to look substantially different from
how they are typically conceived.” WORSE THAN WAR documents Goldhagen¹s
travels, teachings, and interviews in nine countries around the world, bringing
viewers on an unprecedented journey of insight and analysis. In a film that is
highly cinematic and evocative throughout, he speaks with victims,
perpetrators, witnesses, politicians, diplomats, historians, humanitarian aid
workers, and journalists, all with the purpose of explaining and understanding
the critical features of genocide and how to finally stop it.

artist based in Marin, CA who has spent the majority of her life observing the
intricacies of the natural world.
Drawing inspiration from her
extensive travels to wild places, and the research specimens at the California
Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, she composes beautiful large-scale nature
illustrations blended with surreal and metaphorical themes.
To create her compositions, Bozic

Leonardo’s famous painting “The
Last Supper” hides a secret: only 20 percent of the original work is still
visible. In the style of a thriller, the documentary attempts to reconstruct
what it originally looked like. Leonardo da Vinci was the epitome of the
Renaissance Man. May 2019 marks the 500th anniversary of his death. The artist
created world-famous works such as the fresco “The Last Supper” –
perhaps the most famous. It is still in its original setting, on the wall of
the dining room of the former Dominican convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in
Milan. The painting, which is 4.60 meters high and 8.80 meters wide, has been
undergoing restoration for the last 19 years. But the restorers now know that
only 20 percent of the original is visible today. So what did something that is
the focus of so many legends originally look like? Our investigation also takes
us to the small Belgian abbey of Tongerlo, where a mysterious copy of da
Vinci’s work has been discovered. It is a painting on canvas that could have
been commissioned from da Vinci’s workshop by the French King Louis XII. It has
perhaps brought the researchers a step closer to the truth. _______ DW

Astrophysicist Sheperd Doeleman, head of the Event Horizon Telescope

it.

María Szantho
Maria Szantho (1897-1998) nació en Szeged, Hungría. Antes de pintar, estudió música, fue diplomada por la Academia de Música de Hungría, Facultad de piano, llegando a ser una pianista de talento, cosechando grandes éxitos. Fue al acabar dicha carrera de piano, que comenzó a interesarse por la pintura, viajando para estudiar a Francia e Italia.
Su pintura naturalista, según decia la propia artista, estaba influenciada “por el hedonismo de Károly Lotz y la alegría de vivir de Gyula Benczúr“. Tuvo como maestros a los pintores húngaros: Géza Kukan, Karlovszky Bertalan, Fried Pal y Vitéz Mátyás. Expuso a partir de 1920 en importantes galerías, la M?csarnok en Budapest, entre otras.
Joaquín Sorolla (Valencia, 1863 – Cercedilla, España, 1923)
Pintor español. Formado en su ciudad natal con el escultor Capuz, estudió posteriormente las obras del Museo del Prado y, gracias a una beca, pudo residir y estudiar en Roma de 1884 a 1889. En esta época se dedicó sobre todo a cuadros de temática histórica, que no ofrecen demasiado interés.
Un viaje a París en 1894 lo puso en contacto con la pintura impresionista, lo que supuso una verdadera revolución en su estilo. Abandonó los temas anteriores y comenzó a pintar al aire libre, dejándose invadir por la luz y el color del Mediterráneo. Son precisamente las obras de colores claros y pincelada vigorosa que reproducen escenas a orillas del mar las que más se identifican con el arte de Sorolla.
Sin embargo, fue un artista muy activo, que realizó también numerosos retratos de personalidades españolas y algunas obras de denuncia social (¡Y aún dicen que el pescado es caro!) bajo la influencia de su amigo Blasco Ibáñez.
Su estilo agradable y fácil hizo que recibiera innumerables encargos, que le permitieron gozar de una desahogada posición social. Su fama rebasó las fronteras españolas para extenderse por toda Europa y Estados Unidos, donde expuso en varias ocasiones. De 1910 a 1920 pintó una serie de murales con temas regionales para la Hispanic Society of America de Nueva York.
En el estilo más característico de Sorolla, el de técnica y concepción impresionista, destaca la representación de la figura humana (niños desnudos, mujeres con vestidos vaporosos) sobre un fondo de playa o de paisaje, donde los reflejos, las sombras, las transparencias, la intensidad de la luz y el color transfiguran la imagen y dan valor a temas en sí mismo intrascendentes.
Algunos críticos consideran estas obras un cruce entre los impresionistas franceses y los acuarelistas ingleses. Existe una importante colección de pintura suya en el Museo Sorolla de Madrid.
Juan González Alacreu
Juan González Alacreu nació en Burriana, Castellón, en 1937.
En 1968 constituyó con Frejo y Alfredo Sanchis Cortés el equipo Art Studium, dedicado a la producción de libros ilustrados infantiles y series para el mercado exterior.
Finalizada su etapa como ilustrador decidió dedicarse por entero a la pintura. Su obra se destaca por un arte, donde la pureza del dibujo es la base de su trabajo, para más tarde pintar la luz, los trasluces y los reflejos, con pinceladas vigorosas, llenas de óleo. En su pintura se ve una gran influencia de pintores valencianos como Sorolla. Ha sido pintor oficial de la fallera mayor de Valencia durante muchos años. Su obra ha sido expuesta en numerosas salas de arte y se encuentra en colecciones privadas de todo el mundo.
Arquer Buigas
Cayetano de Arquer Buigas (1932), pintor español nacido en Barcelona. Retratista loado por la crítica por su interpretación particular de la mujer, tema central de su obra, destacando por sus aportaciones personales, de las que son reconocidas, entre otras, sus nucas femeninas.
Un artista cuya obra no requiere de complejas explicaciones. Sencillamente se siente a través de la emoción y belleza de cada una de sus pinceladas, del talento y de una capacidad de comunicar sin artificios, que solamente poseen los grandes artistas.

From all of us on the Google+ team,
thank you for making Google+ such a special place.
What happened to Google+?
In December 2018, we announced our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019.

The Google Account you use to sign in to these services will remain. Note that photos and videos already backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted. Learn more
What happened to my Google+ content?
We are in the process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts and Google+ pages. This process will take a few months to complete, and content may remain through this time. In the meantime, if you previously created content on Google+, you may be able to download and save your remaining Google+ content and delete your Google+ profile. You may also be able to view and delete your remaining Google+ activity.
If I also use Google+ with my G Suite account, for example at work or school, how will I be impacted?
Google+ for G Suite will continue as a way for people across an organization to have discussions. Learn more about how we’re continuing our investment in Google+ for G Suite.
If you’re not sure if your organization uses G Suite, you can check here. G Suite customers may see some changes to Google+ features related to the consumer Google+ shutdown. You can find more details here or you can talk to your G Suite administrator to learn more.

At 7 pm week days from Monday through Friday John and I will leave our computer desks and join each other to watch the evening news from PBS, which usually is presented by Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff taking us to the various events of in US and in world. We enjoy seeing both of them. They are part of our daily life. We did not expect anything much when we did not see Gwen for a week or so. Then the world came crashing down on us again when we heard the news that Gwen passed away on Monday November 14. The traumatic effect is just like the result of the US presidential election. But with Gwen Ifill passing away is just like we lost a close friend that we long to see every evening to give us knowledge of the world around us. We will miss her and appreciate the hard work that she and the PBS organization provided for us. May she rest in peace, we will think of her fondly always.
The news of Gwen Ifill’s death has left a void in the world of journalism and politics. Judy Woodruff and Hari Sreenivasan speak with a few of her friends and colleagues about her legacy and what made her so beloved.
Gwen’s smile. It was so strong it greeted you before you met her. You could read by the light of her smile. And if you could make her laugh that was a prize. The sound of pure joy.
