Black theology, for example, contends that Black Americans have unique insight into Christ’s suffering because of the legacy of slavery. Postmodern, Black, and queer theologians have also provided new ways of understanding Christ’s life and work.

It wasn’t until years later, thanks to the magic of YouTube, that I saw Eddie Guerrero teaming with Art Barr as La Pareja del Terror, a part of the AAA stable of American wrestlers known as Los Gringos Locos that included Louie Spicolli and Konnan. In otherwise blood-soaked cards, they put on wrestling clinics for Paul Heyman’s company before taking the money deals that would send them to WCW. Like many American fans, I had first become aware of Eddie through his battles against Dean Malenko for the ECW TV title in the mid-90s. When news broke of the death of Eddie Guerrero, I had to sit down. Maybe he slipped around the corner for a cup of coffee, or maybe he’s chatting up someone down the hall. His personality, antics, and wrestling ability lit up any wrestling program he was part of. It’s still hard to believe Eddie Guerrero is gone. We fondly look back on Eddie’s finest moments in and out of the ring, including that masterpiece from 1994! Eddie Guerrero remains one of the greatest and most influential wrestlers of his generation. Eddie Guerrero had just turned 38 the month before, and his passing hit like a punch to the gut. Chavo performed CPR until paramedics arrived, but sadly, it was too late. On November 13th, 2005, Chavo Guerrero found his uncle unresponsive in his Minneapolis hotel room. ![]() ![]() ![]() As an adult, he pursued this career – combining travel, when he sketched and came up with ideas for future works (his two visits to the Moorish palace of the Alhambra in Granada were especially important, since they taught him how to work with tessellating patterns), with long stints at home, where he led a remarkably orderly life. ![]() His father hoped that he would become an architect, but, influenced by his graphic arts teacher, who had spotted his talent as a printmaker, Escher was determined to become an artist. In 1919, Escher enrolled at the School of Architecture and Decorative Arts in Haarlem. The resemblance between the school’s staircase in reality and the structures in Escher’s prints is remarkable. Indeed, decades after “the hell that was Arnhem”, as Escher later described his schooldays, he made a number of works featuring versions of the institution’s dramatic staircase, which he had ascended so frequently as a boy. So who was Escher – and does he deserve the indifferent reputation as a fine artist that fate has dealt him? These are some of the questions posed by The Amazing World of MC Escher, a forthcoming exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh, which also happens to be the artist’s first major UK retrospective.īorn in the small city of Leeuwarden in the north of the Netherlands, Maurits Cornelis Escher, who was always known in his family as “Mauk”, grew up in a prosperous household as the fifth son of a civil engineer who was a senior official at the Department of Public Works.Īt secondary school in the city of Arnhem, where his family had moved in 1903, he had an unhappy time – and his miserable memories of this period of his life had a decisive influence upon many of his later prints, including Relativity. Yet, as Patrick Elliott of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art points out, even the print of Day and Night in the collection of the University of Glasgow’s Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery “was actually acquired by the Geography Department and was transferred to the Museum at a later date”. Day and Night was Escher’s most popular print: during the course of his lifetime, he made more than 650 copies of it, painstakingly rendering each impression with the help of a small egg spoon made of bone. ![]() In Britain, for instance, it appears that only a single work by Escher belongs to a public collection: the woodcut Day and Night, which presents two flocks of birds, one black and one white, flying above a flat Dutch landscape in between a pair of rivers. Moreover, despite the popularity of his fastidious optical illusions, Escher continues to suffer from snobbery within the realm of fine art, where his output is often denigrated as little more than technically accomplished graphic design. Yet, if we’re honest, how much do most of us really know about its creator, the Dutch printmaker MC Escher (1898-1972)? The truth is that outside his homeland Escher remains something of an enigma. Since the original lithograph was produced in the summer of 1953, Relativity – which belongs to a series of five prints by the same artist also featuring impossible constructions and multiple vanishing points – has been reproduced countless times on posters, mugs, T-shirts, items of stationery and even duvet covers. It must be one of the most familiar images in modern art: a space-distorting interior that could never exist in reality, dominated by staircases sprouting surreally in all directions, and filled with expressionless, mannequin-like figures walking up and down like members of a religious order calmly going about their daily business. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Their tablets often exhibited on a central plate the portrait of the sovereign, surrounded by four other plates. Those presented to the latter often had a border of gold and were quite large. The consuls, on the day of the installation, were wont to offer diptychs to their friends and even to the emperor. It was customary to commemorate in this way one’s elevation to a public office, or any event of personal importance, e.g. In the fourth and fifth centuries a distinction arose between profane and ecclesiastical (liturgical) diptychs, the former being frequently given as presents by high-placed persons. They were generally made out of ivory with carved work, and were sometimes from twelve to sixteen inches in height. The term diptych is often restricted to a highly ornamented type of notebooks. Between the two tablets others were sometimes inserted and the diptych would then be called a triptych, polyptych, etc. The Roman military certificates, privilegia militum, were a kind of diptych. They served as copy-books for the exercise of penmanship, for correspondence, and various other uses. Diptychs were known among the Greeks from the sixth century before Christ. Their inner surfaces had ordinarily a raised frame and were covered with wax, upon which characters were scratched by means of a stylus. These tablets were made of wood, ivory, bone. ![]() (Or diptychon, Greek diptychon from dis, twice and ptyssein, to fold).Ī diptych is a sort of notebook, formed by the union of two tablets, placed one upon the other and united by rings or by a hinge. Diptychs were also sculptured as devotional panels for altars and church walls. The long passage after the Sanctus corresponds to the ancient recital of the diptych of the living, and the recitation of that of the dead is recalled by the Memento which follows the consecration. The contents of the diptychs were read aloud from the ambo or altar, and traces of the fixed usage of the Church in the 5th century may still be found in the Canon of the Mass. Exclusion from these lists was a grave ecclesiastical penalty. The “diptychs of the dead” contained the names of those otherwise qualified for inscription on the diptychs of the living. From them came the first ecclesiastical calendars and martyrologies. The “diptychs of the living” contained the names of the pope, the bishops, illustrious persons, lay and ecclesiastical, and benefactors. Saint Cyprian mentions them in the 3rd century and they were in use until the 12th in the West, and the 14th in the East. In the early Church the names of the members, living or dead, were inscribed on diptychs. They were in use among the Greeks in the 6th century, B.C. Between the two tablets others were sometimes inserted, thus giving rise to the names, triptych, polyptych, etc. Two-leaved hinged tablet of metal, ivory, or wood, the inner surface of which was covered with wax upon which characters were scratched with a stylus. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The outlet estimates the procedure would run around $12,500, but says Obeng will be doing the procedure for free because he “feels so bad for Tessica.” According to TMZ, Obeng is confident he can remedy the sticky situation in two to three days’ time using medical-grade glue remover.

I’m glad mfs actually supporting her thru this. Many commenters on Instagram, where Brown is now verified, have posted things like, “I thought it was funny at first but now I really feel bad.” And some famous people have sent their condolences: Her original admission now has 24.9 million views on TikTok, and as of Wednesday, the GoFundMe she originally launched with a goal of $1,500 to fund the wigs people cautioned she’d need has raised almost $18,000. Since airing her struggle, Brown has gone viral. SoCvwxdrGc- Gorilla Glue February 8, 2021 We are glad to see in her recent video that Miss Brown has received medical treatment from her local medical facility and wish her the best. We are very sorry to hear about the unfortunate incident that Miss Brown experienced using our Spray Adhesive on her hair. Yet on Tuesday, Brown told ET she “never, ever said that.” This came after TMZ reported Brown spent 22 hours in the ER, where health-care workers applied acetone to her hair, which “burned her scalp and only made the glue gooey before hardening back up.” The outlet claimed that Brown hired an attorney and was “weighing litigation against Gorilla Glue,” because while the product’s label warns against use on eyes, skin, or clothing, it does not mention hair. On Monday, the brand tweeted its condolences. (Brown also posted the full, soundtrack-less, excruciating 2:45 minute video of the process on YouTube.)Ī post shared by Tessica is awkward.

In its ongoing reporting of the now-weeklong saga, TMZ says sources tell them Brown “felt it was okay because the product said multi-use,” and Brown recently told ET she had Gorilla Glue on hand because she used it before on non-hair materials and it worked pretty well. Got2b Glued spray also promises a “spike cement finish” and “rock hard hair,” so perhaps Brown felt comfortable leveling up to a Lowe’s-grade formula. Like Gorilla Glue, Moco de Gorila comes in bright-yellow-and-orange packaging, features a picture of a gorilla, and is known for its holding powers.

And both suites offer scads of additional tools as well. But those individual applications are quite different from one suite to the other, as are the management tools for taking care of them in a business environment. Each has cloud storage associated with it. Each has word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, email, calendar, and contacts programs, along with videoconferencing, messaging, and note-taking software. The suites also offer the same basic core applications. Microsoft provides Office client apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and its web-based apps work across browsers. Because it’s web-based, Google Workspace works in most browsers on any operating system, and Google also offers mobile apps for Android and iOS. And while Microsoft 365 is based on installed desktop software, it also provides (less powerful) web-based versions of its applications.īoth suites work well with a range of devices. Although Google Workspace is web-based, it has the capability to work offline as well. Both are subscription-based, charging businesses per-person fees every month, in varying tiers, depending on the capabilities their customers are looking for. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 have much in common. Nowadays, choosing an office suite isn’t as simple as it once was. Microsoft 365 is what we’ve focused on in this story. Microsoft, meanwhile, has shifted its emphasis away from its traditional licensed Office software to Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), a subscription-based version that’s treated more like a service, with frequent updates and new features. Although Google’s productivity suite didn’t immediately take the business world by storm, over time it has gained both in features and in popularity, boasting 6 million paying customers, according to Google’s most recent public stats in March 2020. Then in 2006 Google came along with Google Docs & Spreadsheets, a collaborative online word processing and spreadsheet duo that was combined with other business services to form the Google Apps suite, later rebranded as G Suite, and now as Google Workspace. By the late ‘90s and early 2000s, Microsoft’s office suite had brushed aside rivals such as WordPerfect Office and Lotus SmartSuite, and there was no competition on the horizon.
