 scepter.
no drone fit for a queen of her buzzing magnitude.
smothers his mildew stench.
with the crows nesting inside him.
through compound eyes.
of the wildflowers growing over his heart.
Soon, my king, she thinks. Soon, my wicked, wicker man.
every day without fail across the firmament.
curious about his sundry offerings.
and something else, something I cannot place.
of bones and antimatter, indigestible.
a sign of devotion for all our days.
Yes? he asks, perching on my willow bough.
and our sky’s ink runs dry.

In his speech at the meeting held on July 29 at the Presidential Residence in Islamabad to celebrate in advance Minorities Day – a celebration that will be celebrated on August 11th in the rest of the country – Imran Khan stressed that it is obligatory for Muslims to “provide protection to the people of religious minorities and provide them their basic rights, freedom, and justice. “We have to learn from the time of Madina, 1400 years ago, how our Prophet Muhammad treated the minorities living in the state. We must follow Prophet Muhammad’s approach with minorities. He formed a welfare state that was promoting compassion, humanity, justice, and rights for everyone.
Imran Khan also added that in Islam no practice comparable to forced conversions is conceivable, since “God asked his messengers to spread the message, accepting it and becoming a believer is a free will of the person. We cannot force anyone to accept Islam under the threat of arms or persecution or forcing religious minority women to convert after they have been kidnapped. Such acts cannot in any way be considered compatible with Islam. And those who work to convert people by force, kidnapping them or subjecting them to threats, show that they have no correct understanding of Islamic teachings”.
The prime minister also indicated the importance of making a real rule of law in Pakistan: “If we have the rule of law”, Imran Khan said in this regard, “most of our problems will be solved”. And concluded by reassuring religious minorities, and recalling that “it is the Governments’ responsibility to give you protection and make you feel that you are also equal citizens of this country. I assure you that our Government will not only protect you but will also take care of the development of your places of worship”.
Father Bonnie Mendes, a senior Catholic priest from the diocese of Faisalabad, points out that “the government of Imran speaks about making Pakistan a ‘Modern Islamic Welfare State’. The Government will work to give religious minorities full citizenship. I hope that the government will act fast on their promises. And it will have to intervene forcefully on all those who are pushing people of religious minorities to conversion”.
How Can You be a Good Catholic Mom?Gianmaria Bonà (Perego, 08/05/1954) lives and works in Colle Brianza, Lecco.
He acquired his high school diploma in 1974 at the Istituto Parini in Lecco and directed the entrepreneurial activity inherited from his father.
His passion for the arts and architecture led him to attend the artistic circles of Milan, where he had the opportunity to meet well-known artists, architects, stylists and critics.
After that, he began to devote himself full time to painting and artistic research and he inaugurated his first solo exhibition 1982 in Asti, with a flattering success in terms of public and sales.
Angelo Baiguini, Vittorio Sgarbi, Giusi Spezzaferri, Lorenzo Bonini, Felice Bossone, Francesco Zampieri, Laura Civetti, Angelo Dragone, Franco Brasca, Daniele Colombo.
The frames contain a painted panel filled with an imaginative monochrome colour, such as gold background at the base with acids’ interventions, distributed and controlled on the surface with manual brush strokes.
The informal is above all the methodological key to a self-investigation that allows him to use creativity as a specific means to access the unconscious and make his most hidden self-re-emerge. Executing completely abstract forms and without any relevance to the knowable means knowing how to free oneself from the naturalistic limits of representation, to privilege the chromatic game and, above all, the interpretative freedom of states of mind. Associating and imposing himself to the gaze without conceptual or theoretical mediation, the visual effects of his works correspond to the very substance of his instinctive relationship with the materiality of the painting’s spirit.
Polemics and why not? There is really no fear of this word, these works summon the user to an act that is as critical as that of previous research, but that nevertheless propose a more direct involvement. I am thinking, for example, of how well he has been able to represent the field of painting in the works examined today, eliminating its typical well-founded colour shades, but focusing on a widespread, refined and polite endemic pictorial spirituality, which develops and contributes to carrying out cultural itineraries articulated by avant-garde experiments.
It is clear that Gianmaria Bonà has embarked on a new path, a path of which today he himself struggles to glimpse the point of arrival. A path that is, however, already written in the form of a fire on his artistic vein.
Let's continue the visit in the 300 square meters of the atelier. Cubist shaped aluminium lamps, brass fish, bronze statues, recalling the mysterious anthropomorphic stelae of Lunigiana; leather, fabrics, pure gold and silver leaf, leather with glimpses reminiscent of Burri, iron: there is no material that is not used. Almost a desire to penetrate the secrets of matter.
Before leaving the atelier, he shows us more works in progress, a special trolley for transporting bottles of magnum sparkling wine, and sketches of labels. It shows us some photos. One of his plexiglas and leather armchairs on display at the Monza racetrack, the heart for Farinetti's Eataly, the egg for the Expo. "It took me a week for almost three quintals of plaster. We leave the atelier and he shows us his villa, sheltered from the winds, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the valley.

It's a long journey into matter, that has no end.We are a rich-experienced website specialized in the Symantec certification practice exam torrent and real pdf vce.

The city is gleaming, and like clock-work, sun-deprived Seattle residents waste no time to soak up their daily dose of vitamin D. Those dark days remind us that there is nothing quite like a Seattle summer to start thawing the “Seattle Freeze”. Read on to learn the powerful effects of vitamin D deficiency on Seattleites.
It is no secret that Seattleites are more susceptible to depression due to the dark, dreary winters. However, the weather may be clouding the real reason behind higher depression rates in the Pacific Northwest. A more concrete cause of depression in this area is likely linked to a deficiency in vitamin D. Vitamin D activates genes that regulate the immune system and release neurotransmitters that affect brain function and development. Without it, serotonin levels are lower. This means moods show less regulation, and residents of the area become more susceptible to depression.
Vitamin D supports
