Paul Peel
Paul Peel (7 novembre 1860 - 3 octobre 1892) était un peintre figuratif canadien. Après avoir remporté une médaille au Salon de Paris de 1890, il est devenu l'un des premiers artistes canadiens à être reconnu internationalement de son vivant.
Peel est né à London, au Canada-Ouest, et a reçu sa formation artistique de son père dès son plus jeune âge. Sa sœur Mildred Peel était également artiste. Plus tard, il a étudié avec William Lees Judson et à l'Académie des beaux-arts de Pennsylvanie avec Thomas Eakins (1877-1880)[2]. [Comme les autres diplômés de l'Académie des beaux-arts de Pennsylvanie et les élèves d'Eakins, Paul adhère à une méthode tonale de rendu de la lumière naturelle en extérieur.
Il s'installe à Paris en 1881, où il étudie à l'École nationale supérieure des Arts décoratifs, puis entre dans l'atelier de Jean-Léon Gérôme à l'École des Beaux-Arts. C'est sur la recommandation de Gérôme qu'il commence à dessiner en plein air.
Il étudie ensuite avec Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant dans son atelier privé, puis avec lui à l'Académie Julian ainsi qu'avec Henri Doucet et Jules Lefebvre (1877-1890 En 1883, il expose son premier tableau au Salon de Paris, où il continuera à exposer régulièrement jusqu'en 1892. Ses tableaux ont une qualité conservatrice, mais quelques œuvres plus tardives révèlent qu'il s'est converti à la couleur et à la lumière impressionnistes.
En 1882, il épouse Isaure Verdier. Ils ont deux enfants : un fils (Robert Andre, en 1886) et une fille (Emilie Marguerite, en 1888).
Peel voyage beaucoup au Canada et en Europe, expose en tant que membre de l'Ontario Society of Artists et de l'Académie royale des arts du Canada, et participe à des expositions internationales comme le Salon de Paris, où il remporte une médaille de bronze en 1890 pour son tableau After the Bath. [Il est connu pour ses nus souvent sentimentaux et pour ses tableaux sur le charme des enfants. L'enfance devient effectivement la « marque » de l'artiste avec le succès public de Après le bain. Il est aussi l'un des premiers peintres canadiens à explorer le nu comme sujet.
Il contracte une infection pulmonaire et meurt dans son sommeil, à Paris, en France, à l'âge de 31 ans.
La maison de son enfance est l'une des nombreuses attractions du Fanshawe Pioneer Village à London, en Ontario.

Therefore, they have not hesitated to use the dirtiest and most indecent weapons.
- Fidel Castro: Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction.

By doing this, the Fourth International committed a real crime against the revolutionary movement to isolate it from the rest of the people, to isolate it from the masses, when it contaminated it with the stupidities, the discredit, and the repugnant thing which Trotskyism today is in the field of politics.

Wilfred G. Burchett: From the first days of the New Year it became clear that Truman had decided to back (Syngman) Rhee’s plan and to use Korea as the starting point for a third World War. On January 11, 1950, Ambassador Chang Myun was able to report from Washington that he could give some 'encouraging news' from a top-level confidential source in Washington. 'I am informed,' he wrote, 'that the State Department and Pentagon are planning a firm stand with respect to United States oriental policy. In this anti-Communist plan; Korea will occupy an important position. I have every hope that we will get much more help, militarily speaking as a result. I have had word from a confidential source in the State Department that President Truman will sign very soon, authorization that will grant permission for armament for Korean ships and planes... https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote5999

Le drame de notre temps, c'est que la bêtise se soit mise à penser.
Citation jamais sourcée, très probablement apocryphe, qui semble être apparue dans deux ouvrages de 1967.
Le vrai drame de notre temps, c'est que le mensonge se répète même après correction.
Voici, peut-être, l'origine de cette citation extraite de "Lettre aux Américains" de Jean Cocteau (1949):
Chacun pense chez nous. Même la bêtise pense. Tout le monde occupe la scène. Peu de monde occupe la salle et il est rare que notre public ne décrète pas qu'il pourrait faire bien mieux que nous. Mais cette étonnante indiscipline offre des avantages. La France actuellement est un des seuls pays où la foule puisse faire le succès d'une pièce parce que les journalistes la condamnent. Personne ne croit personne et j'ose dire que l'esprit de contradiction porté à cet extrême pousse la foule à prendre le contrepied des conseils qu'on lui donne et à applaudir contre les siffleurs.
|Le drame de notre temps, c'est que la bêtise se soit mise à penser.|
Il est hélas devenu évident aujourd'hui que notre technologie a dépassé notre humanité.
Cette citation est apocryphe. Elle est probablement dérivée des mots écrits par Victor Salva, auteur du scénario de Powder (1995). Les films sont une source importante de citations apocryphes.

Personne ne peut vous enlever votre liberté de penser. Vous pouvez être conseillé, éclairé par d'autres, mais ne laissez jamais quelqu'un penser pour vous
Cette citation n'est pas de Baruch Spinoza, mais de Diane Cailhier dans l'épisode 3 de la série québécoise "Chartrand et Simonne" (2000), romance de la vie de Michel Chartrand et Simonne Monet, dans une réponse du personnage de Simonne Monet-Chartrand.
Extrait de l'épisode 3 de la série québécoise "Chartrand et Simonne" intitulée "1942-1945 - L'amour et la guerre" (2000) à partir de 24'40:

NGC 1559
NGC 1559 est une galaxie spirale barrée située dans la constellation du Réticule, près du Grand Nuage de Magellan, mais beaucoup plus éloignée, à environ 35 millions d'années-lumière de la Terre. Hubble a visité cet objet pour la dernière fois en 2018. La lumière brillante capturée dans cette image offre une mine d'informations qui, grâce à Hubble, peuvent être utilisées à la fois par les scientifiques et le public.
La quantité de nébuleuses dans cette galaxie est impressionnante, sans oublier leur grande taille!
Cette galaxie est à peine plus petite que la Voie lactée (75000 à 96000 années-lumière de diamètre), et elle est gravitationnellement isolée.
Cette image est composée de dix images différentes prises par le télescope spatial Hubble, chacune filtrée pour recueillir la lumière d'une longueur d'onde ou d'une gamme de longueurs d'onde spécifique. Elle couvre la sensibilité de Hubble à la lumière, de l'ultraviolet (275 nanomètres) au proche infrarouge (1600 nanomètres), en passant par le bleu, le vert et le rouge. Cela permet d'enregistrer des informations sur de nombreux processus astrophysiques dans la galaxie: le filtre rouge de 656 nanomètres utilisé ici en est un exemple notable. Les atomes d'hydrogène ionisés peuvent émettre de la lumière à cette longueur d'onde particulière, appelée émission H-alpha. Les nouvelles étoiles qui se forment dans un nuage moléculaire, composé principalement d'hydrogène, émettent de grandes quantités de lumière ultraviolette qui est absorbée par le nuage, mais qui l'ionise et le fait briller de cette lumière H-alpha. Par conséquent, un filtrage permettant de ne détecter que cette lumière constitue un moyen fiable de détecter les zones de formation d'étoiles (appelées régions H II), illustrées sur cette image par les couleurs rouge et rose vives des taches florissantes qui remplissent les bras spiraux de NGC 1559.
Ces dix images proviennent de six programmes d'observation différents avec Hubble, de 2009 à aujourd'hui. Ces programmes ont été menés par des équipes d'astronomes du monde entier avec des objectifs scientifiques variés, allant de l'étude du gaz ionisé et de la formation des étoiles, au suivi d'une supernova, en passant par le suivi des étoiles variables pour contribuer au calcul de la constante de Hubble. Les données issues de toutes ces observations sont conservées dans les archives de Hubble, à la disposition de tous, non seulement pour de nouvelles recherches scientifiques, mais aussi pour créer des images spectaculaires comme celle-ci ! Cette image de NGC 1559 rappelle donc les opportunités incroyables que le télescope spatial Hubble a offertes et continue d'offrir.
Voici 6 étoiles identifiées sur le cliché du HST numérotées de 1 à 6 (n'hésitez pas à zoomer):
1 - Gaia DR3 4676459661466251904. Il s'agit d'une étoile orange 15% plus petite et 30% moins massive que le Soleil située à 2517 années-lumière.

Juste à gauche d'elle, très proche, se trouve Gaia DR3 4676459661464302720, une naine rouge 80% plus petite et massive que Soleil. Elle est située à 2931 années-lumière.
3 - Gaia DR3 4676459695825988224. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune 20% plus grande et 10% plus massive que le Soleil située à 1894 années-lumière (espérance de vie: 8,5 milliards d'années).
4 - Gaia DR3 4676459695825989376. Il s'agit d'une étoile orange 20% plus petite et 40% moins massive que le Soleil située à 5445 années-lumière.
5 - Gaia DR3 4676459627106513792. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune/orange au moins deux fois plus grosse et 20% plus massive que le Soleil à plus de 30000 années-lumière (sa distance est indéterminable par la parallaxe).
6 - Gaia DR3 4676506768667550592. Il s'agit d'une naine rouge 80% plus petite et massive que le Soleil située à 1562 années-lumière.
7 - Gaia DR3 4676459657169273088. Il s'agit d'une naine rouge 70% plus petite et massive que le Soleil située à 5969 années-lumière.

@Vanessa That would be me for future reference (in the menu under information it has a lot of the server details and in there is a link to my profile as well as my email address)
If you look further down on that error message where it says HTTP 502 Bad Gateway it tells me the server might have been having issues at that point in time. In all honestly it's kinda unavoidable at the time due to resource constraints, sites currently on a rented dedicated server until I fix my housing situation (current ETA is late october when I can work on putting it back on my own, more stable, hardware again), so it probably was just having issues loading that page at that time.
There's not a lot I can do with troubleshooting clients, but let me know if it keeps having trouble and maybe I can work with you to find some answers?

A First Post

First post on Friendica
So I'm relatively new to fediverse, although I have already interacted with federated protocols (such as Matrix, but Matrix is way different from Mastodon/Friendica/Bluesky/Pleroma/etc).
I have been sailing through two Mastodon instances, but Mastodon's character limit is low for my needs. I'm a developer (JS, PHP, Python, etc) that also like to write poetry and chronicles, as well as interacting with AI to create artistic representations of the gothic and the dark supernatural. While it seems that Friendica supports more characters, I'll know it the moment I send this first post. It has 1342 characters in total.
I have a syncretic view over the reality, trying to converge scientific inquiry with the philosophical questioning and the metaphysical spirituality from all religions and belief systems (even when they seem to "contradict" one another; actually, they have more in common than people think, starting from the beginning of the existence from primordial waters from the amniotic liquid to the electromagnetic fields permeating the cosmos, but it's a subject for another future post).
One important thing for me to ask: does the instance allow AI Art (e.g. from artistic representations of daemons such as Astaroth and Lilith to mathematical concepts such as fractals; obviously these AI imagery would be marked as so)?

@Daemon Silverstein This instance? I allow properly marked AI content, I would also suggest content warnings (in Friendica it's done with [abstract]content warning message[/abstract]), but I count that more as a courtesy effort than something I'm going to really demand.
Friendica has no character limit set.
As Friendica isn't the friendliest user interface, if you do find you'd prefer Mastodon or Mastodon-like, there are many that have higher character limits.

Pt 3 is still in the works as this is a rework from 2020

Sorry for the downtime
Housing situation has been a pain, still on the temporary server environment and been hitting major resources bottlenecks.
I'm hoping to get a place sooner, but I've hit some roadblocks that very likely will push it drastically further out... in which case I'll need to spend more money on this environment to return things to stable.
Reminder that I'm covering this entirely out of my own pocket and these constraints are because I'm between homes and can't use my own much cheaper hardware. If you appreciate this instance I would very much appreciate a donation.

Friendica vs Mastodon
I tried Friendica previously, but never figured out what I wanted to do with it, and deleted it after a while. But after I'd read the excellent post @Elena Rossini wrote on her blog I realised I really should give it another chance, and decided to put a little more effort into it this time. So I created this account yesterday, and now I'm trying to decide how I want to use it. Some part of that uncertainty is because I haven't figured out all the bells and whistles of the platform, and I don't always quite understand what the help pages are trying to tell me. This is definitely mostly on me, having some preconceived notions and expectations, and getting a little confused here and there. This is not Facebook or Goggle+, it is its own thing.
For the most part though, just trying things out with one eye on those help pages have solved any questions I've had.
After I had signed up, I initially imported all the accounts I am following on Mastodon, but am starting to regret this. The two networks are obviously very different beasts, and I will act accordingly from now on. My current idea is to use Friendica, at least partly, as a sort of news aggregator, following accounts both on the fediverse and via RSS feeds, so a lot of those Mastodon accounts will be unfollowed here for a quieter experience and left on Mastodon. Just because you can follow everything everywhere on ActivityPub, it doesn't always make the best sense. But that, of course, is also the beauty of this, what doesn't make the best sense for me, might do for someone else. Different folks...
Occasionally I may even post something here, things that require more than 500 words, things like this.
That's what I'm planning to do right now, anyway. Who knows what I'll think tomorrow?

@Jarulf @Elena Rossini welcome aboard! I'm definitely saving that article, might link it or one of the guides it mentions in the getting started welcome panel (... I should review that as well, I haven't looked at it in ages)
Also remember there's a helper group as you're figuring things out, just tag helpers@forum.friendi.ca (not tagged here because otherwise it'll share this comment to the group). I'm also happy to help out my users!

Long time no writing here
I started to digging into my latest hobby of #bookbinding (but it's not the only one i assure you)
And made several pamphlet, with also some custom design.
I recently made couple of handmade hardcover journals. One using a custom hero-quest character sheet, the other one is just a lined notebook.
More info for who is interested are available here: https://ko-fi.com/post/Two-more-bookbinding-projects-M4M511EWAN (don't worry all my posts on #ko-fi are free)
It also gave my a nice surprise of receiveing the first donation ever (even if it will be the last it still made me happy! :) ) Any opinion comment is appreciated.
These are couple of pictures of my latest works:
