Meera (1979 film)

Meera is a 1979 Hindi language film by Gulzar. The film is based on the life of Meera, a Hindu saint-poet who renounced princely comforts in pursuit of her love for Lord Krishna.
The film did not perform well at the Indian box office, although it received critical acclaim.
The story is set around 1480, in the time of King Akbar. Biramdev (Dr Shreeram Lagoo) is the king of Medta, a province in Rajasthan. He has two daughters, Meera (Hema Malini) and Krishna (Vidya Sinha) and a son, Jaimal (Dinesh Thakur). Meera is in deep emotional love with Lord Krishna, so much so that she considers Lord Krishna to be her husband. Akbar (Amjad Khan) is becoming stronger day by day and hence other small provinces are trying to join against him. Medta, in one such political agreement, decides to join hands with Raja Vikramajit (Shammi Kapoor). As a part of this agreement Meera is married (against her wish) to Vikramajit's son, Rana Bhojraj (Vinod Khanna). But even after getting married her love for Lord Krishna remains the same and she follows her own ideals and way of living which are not very acceptable to Bhojraj and his family. One thing leads to another and one day Meera is declared as an outcast and traitor who failed to play a wife's duties towards her husband, a bride's duties towards her family, and a woman's duties towards society. She is jailed and a public trial is ordered to decide her fate. But Meera is still unshakable and her spirituality keeps her going. She is not even afraid of death. Finally she is given a death sentence and is ordered to drink a cup of venom in front of the public. The love between Meera devi and Lord Krishna is so unshakeable that even the venom does not affect her. She walks out of the royal court after drinking the venom singing Lord Krishna's praises. The entire town follows her, completely absorbed in her kirtan (devotional song). She enters the Krishna temple and becomes one with Lord Krishna.
Film's costume designer Bhanu Athaiya used changing hues of Meera saris to show her spiritual evolution rather dissolving into Krishna. Starting with vibrant colours as a princess, she leave the palace in orange (bhagwa), gradually shifting to yellow, fawn and finally to much paler beige colour.
Guddi (1971 film)

Guddi (transl. Doll) is a 1971 Indian Hindi drama film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and written by Gulzar. It starred Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Utpal Dutt. It is Bachchan's debut and career-making film in which she plays a schoolgirl who has a crush on and is obsessed with the actor Dharmendra, who plays himself. She earned a Filmfare nomination as Best Actress, the only nomination for the film. Dutt also has a starring role. Many Bollywood actors like Rajesh Khanna, Naveen Nischol, Asrani, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, Om Prakash and Pran gave guest appearances as themselves. According to Boxofficeindia.com, the film became a "big city hit" and Hit" business everywhere else. It was later remade in Tamil as Cinema Paithiyam (1975) starring Jayachitra and Jayasankar.
Kusum (aka Guddi) is a spunky and carefree schoolgirl who lives with her father, brother and sister-in-law. Guddi has a crush on film star Dharmendra, whom she regards as a superman who can do no wrong, unable to distinguish between his on-screen image and the real person behind the star.
Nobody knows the extent of her crush until she visits Bombay, where her sister-in-law's brother Navin proposes to her, only to be taken aback when Guddi discloses that she is in love with Dharmendra. Navin discusses the matter with his uncle, who decides that the only solution is to make Guddi realize the difference between illusion and reality.
The uncle contacts Dharmendra through a mutual friend. With his help, they show Guddi the difference between the real world and the make-believe world of cinema. Exposed for the first time to the grime and the cruel and heartless world behind the glamour of cinema, Guddi realizes that nothing is true in the real world. While her respect for Dharmendra grows, Guddi comes to realize that he is just as human as anyone around and lives with his fears and insecurities as anyone else.
The film ends with Guddi agreeing to marry Navin.
The film featured cameos from actors and industry figures including (in order of appearance):
Achanak (1973 film)

Achanak (transl. Suddenly) is a 1973 Indian Hindi-language film, directed by Gulzar, written by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas, and starring Vinod Khanna. Gulzar received a Filmfare nomination as Best Director for this film. Even though Gulzar is an accomplished lyricist, this film did not have any songs in it. K. A. Abbas earned a Filmfare nomination for best story. It is inspired by the real-life sensational 1958 murder case K. M. Nanavati v State of Maharashtra.
The actual messages conveyed by the movie are more sublime than simple cuckoldry. First and foremost is the futility of a doctor's efforts to save life of an already condemned person. Tragically, the doctor saves the life of a person, who is already condemned. After months of untiring efforts of doctors, nurses and all paramedical staff, the condemned person finally meets his fate at the gallows. Ethics of human killing is another message. While on one hand the protagonist is awarded a Vir Chakra for killing several humans, on another he is punished to death for killing just two humans.
1963 movie Yeh Rastey Hain Pyar Ke was also based on the same case. Akshay Kumar starrer 2016 movie Rustom is based on the same case as well.
The film had no songs, the background score is composed by Vasant Desai.
Major Ranjit Khanna loves his wife Pushpa, who loves him equally. His commanding officer, Lt. Col. Bakshi, is his father-in-law. Ranjit is happy in his married life, until he finds out about his wife's affair with his best friend. On realizing this, however, he kills both of them and surrenders himself to the police. Then, he escapes from the police in search of the river Ganga, as he wants to fulfill his wife's desire to leave her Mangalsutra in the river Ganga. However, in that attempt, the police shoot him and he is injured. He is then admitted to the hospital, where he becomes emotionally attached to the doctors and nurses. So, when he is finally sentenced to death, they also move to tears.
The entire film production was completed in 28 days. Achanak was based on a Khwaja Ahmed Abbas story, The Thirteenth Victim, which had appeared in the magazine called Imprint. In 1973 N.C Sippy's sons, Romu Sippy and Raj Sippy collaborated with partner Hrishikesh Mukherjee to produce Achanak and they approached Gulzar to direct it. Gulzar approached Vasantrao, a marathi background score composer to compose the score for this film since it would have no songs otherwise.
Background music was composed by Vasant Desai.
张长林

张长林（1826年—1906年5月6日），字明山，又以字行而称张明山，直隶深州人，後遷天津，清朝工艺家、彩塑家，“泥人张”创始人。張長林自幼隨父從事泥塑創作，好捏戲曲人物，因所塑泥人酷肖真人而成名。其為人捏像，能藏泥於袖，摶塑於手，頃刻而成，且泥像神形兼具，一時被譽為絕技。其彩塑作品內容廣泛，或反映風土民俗，或取材於古典文学、民間故事、舞台戲劇，又融入傳統中国画審美與技法，開創自身獨特之泥塑風格。其作品廣銷海外，曾於巴拿马万国博览会中獲獎，在國際上享有聲譽。
张长林为直隶深州人，後遷居于天津。父张万全，原籍浙江紹興山陰，书吏出身，赴深州上任，後適逢荒年，攜張長林遷往天津，操習泥塑手藝謀生。張長林自七八岁起，便随其父学习泥塑，先捏制猫、狗之类动物形象，有所领悟后，开始学习捏制人物肖像。最初这些作品均用高温烧成陶器。后来，张长林探索出泥塑制作新方法，即将棉花掺入黏土捣匀，捏成泥坯后不经烧制，直接阴干，打上粉底后加以彩绘，是为日后天津彩塑泥人之雏形。他少时即“喜为黏土之戏”，好捏戏曲作品，而与传统泥塑以神佛造像、玩具摆设为主之风气不同。其曾创作《黄鹤楼》、《白蛇传》、《佘太君》、《春秋配》、《回荆州》等多部作品泥塑，风格受唐代绘画、雕塑影响甚大。张长林为观察戏剧演员神态、身段、服饰，常在庙会、戏馆看戏。随着技艺精进，为了寻求更高境界，每逢名角至天津演出，张长林就其特征，于其人不知不觉中袖中暗地摹索，在一出戏还未演完时，其塑像便已完成，归家后，其仔细敷粉涂色、衬以衣冠，即能与真人分毫不差。
道光二十四年（1844年），京剧演员余三胜至天津演出，张长林去看戏后，塑其像置于商店橱窗之内，见者歎为绝技。此后张长林名声大噪，时人呼为“泥人张”。张长林其后又陆续为谭鑫培、杨小楼、王桂芬、程长庚、田桂凤等名角塑像。成名后，张长林遂创建“塑古斋”泥塑作坊。其描绘天津天后盛会之皇会彩塑一套尝由西人出巨资购去，又曾有西洋人以重金购其泥人，收藏于博物院中。清末天津殡仪之侈甲于各省，有外国文化学者来中国采风，邀请张长林用泥人复原葬仪场面，其中人像复杂，“舆者、骑者、旗者、盖者、钲者、鼓者、丝者、竹者、释者、髯者、导者、从者、冠带者、裹禳者、步而送者、立而观者，多至数十百人”，而张长林则能“异其状态，使之不相复，或颀或侏，或丰或臞，或皙或朱，或昂或伛，或步或趋，或欠或吁，或悲或愉，或捷或迁，像随心造，触手成趣”。
张长林成名后，仍乐与各色人等往来，其捏泥人常以其邻居、朋友为原型。据传李鸿章督直时，曾邀请张长林为之塑像。张长林到其家后，李鸿章对其态度傲慢，张长林于是专挑其丑态塑泥，但也十分相像，李鸿章无可奈何。又有一富人邀张长林肖己像，富人盛气凌人，张长林不屈，富人怫然退去，张长林则顷刻间摹塑其形，面目悉具。有人告富人以此事，富人重新邀请之，而态度毕恭毕敬，为之一变。
晚年好与文人、画家、学者相交，将其对绘画、古典文学之理解融人泥塑作品当中，所捏人物形象更为贴近真实生活。如其孙娶妻孛氏，新婚时“合家欢请祖舅看新妇”，张长林远望辄出，次日即作新娘子像置于新房，俨然如其人。惟肖像面露一水痕，家人以为是泥人敷粉未洁，张长林曰：“岂非有乌痣耶？”审之，果如其言。其又曾为天津教育家严修之父捏家人塑像。时人徐悲鸿记载：“全体结构若三十年前之照相。範老（严修）之伯父像，蓄上髭，冠小冠，中缀宝石，右手倚桌上，衣黑色马褂，腰际衣褶少嫌平板。至範老尊人像，无须，戴眼镜，衣背心，口角略深陷，现微笑之容，皆泥制敷色，色雅而简。”徐悲鸿又曾与张伯苓同访严府，见之赞曰：“其比例之精确，骨骼之肯定，与其传神之微妙，据我在北方所见美术品中，只有历代帝王画像中宋太祖、太宗之像可以拟之。若在雕刻中，虽杨惠之不足多也。”其老年又好四处游历，将“塑古斋”事务交予其子张玉亭。张玉亭将作品委托给估衣街“同陞号”，开启联营模式。
张长林在彩塑之外，亦工绘画，其甚爱上官周之《晚笑堂画传》，又能画巨幅山水画。当时天津有一李四先生，能折叠碎锦以象诸物，号称“包镶李”，官署使制连景寿屏，广数丈，届期而工未半，因催促紧急，便将此差事托付予张长林。张长林用笔墨补其阙处，峰峦楼观，顷刻立就，遂为名作。此外曾创作多幅描绘民间生活之画作，如《火会图》，描绘天津人民自发防火之故事；《狮子会》，描绘天津春节景象等等。
光绪三十二年（1906年）4月29日，张长林为友人徐九爷送殡，不幸于途中染疾，七日后（5月6日）病卒。
天津泥塑产业受漕运兴盛、妈祖文化、戲曲文化影響較大。张长林作为其中佼佼者，将传统中国画审美和创作技法融入民间工艺，开创“泥人張”雅俗共赏之泥塑风格。泥人张彩塑不局限于儿童玩具，很少有动物造型，几乎都是泥人，更符合城厢市民口味。其作為中國小型架上雕塑開創者，在中國雕塑史上影響深遠。
张长林作品丰富，然存世不多，晚期代表作則更为稀少。其作品取材廣泛，约略可以分为四类：
張長林塑像亦善於刻畫人物性格，表現人物心理，靜中求動，變化豐富，技法嚴肅流暢，色彩秀麗，富於文氣。其社会民情题材代表作《渔樵问答》、历史故事题材代表作《木兰从军》以及人物肖像题材代表作《严仁波肖像》，堪称中国泥彩塑艺术经典；代表作另有《少女》、《蒋门神》、《孙夫人试剑》、《品箫少女》等。其又以塑小像传神见称，如邻居彭掌柜，天津士绅严仁波、严振父子，木雕名匠“花活刘”刘国华等，人物容貌身形及职业特质均各具特征。又有“惜春作画”彩塑三人像，藏于故宫博物院；所作“八匣泥人”，计有粉塑《木兰从军》、《红楼梦》、《孙夫人试剑》、《白蛇传》、《褔禄寿》、《风尘三侠》、《张敞画眉》、《春秋配》八件，藏于颐和园内。
张长林作品曾多次在南北洋各地展览会上获得奖牌，综计二十余件，后因战乱散毁。此后作品国内销售不多，多系出口，日本约占百分之七十五，欧美占百分之十五。其在博物馆陈列者，俱标明“中国之特产”。民国四年（1915年），张长林作品《编织女工》彩塑作品获得巴拿马万国博览会一等奖，而张玉亭16件作品以“天津同陞号泥製人像十六件”名义参展，获得“名誉奖”。
冯骥才《俗世奇人》记有“泥人张贱卖海张五”之故事，其原型正是第一代“泥人张”张长林（张明山）。故事大意为海张五在天庆馆侮辱泥人张，泥人张一言不发，而用脚底泥巴塑了一个海张五的头，神情毕肖，放在桌上而转身离开；第二天，估衣街上小杂货摊出现一批海张五泥塑，标以“贱卖”，引来路人讥笑，海张五衹能派人花大价钱买走。
张长林生有六子，五子张兆荣（字玉亭）、六子张续荣（字华棠）传其业，为第二代“泥人张”。孙张景祜，曾孙张锠。
巴托洛梅奥·科莱奥尼骑马雕像

巴托洛梅奥·科莱奥尼骑马雕像（Equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni）是意大利威尼斯的一个文艺复兴时期的雕塑，位于圣若望及保禄广场（Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo），由安德烈·德尔·委罗基奥完成于1480年至1488年。刻画威尼斯共和国军事将领巴托洛梅奥·科莱奥尼，不包括底座的高度为395厘米。它是意大利文艺复兴时期的第二个主要骑马雕像，迟于多纳泰罗的加塔梅拉塔的骑马雕像（1453年）。
1475年，威尼斯共和国军事将领巴托洛梅奥·科莱奥尼去世，他留下遗嘱，将大部分财产捐赠给共和国，条件是雕刻自己的雕像，并安放在圣马可广场。1479年共和国宣布接受遗产，但雕像不允许放在圣马可广场，而是放在圣马可会馆前方的开放空间中。为此安排了一次竞赛，来选出一位雕塑家。有三名雕刻家争夺合同：来自佛罗伦萨的委罗基奥，来自威尼斯的亚历山德罗·利欧帕迪（Alessandro Leopardi），以及来自帕多瓦的巴托洛梅奥·维拉诺（Bartolomeo Vellano）。委罗基奥制作了雕塑的木制模型，另外两人制作了蜡和粘土的模型。三个模型于1483年在威尼斯展示，最后韦罗基奥赢得了合同。随后，他在威尼斯开设了一个作坊，制作最后的蜡模型，准备使用失蜡法青铜铸造。但他在完成之前，于1488年去世。
委罗基奥要求由他的学生，当时负责佛罗伦萨作坊的洛伦索·迪·克雷迪（Lorenzo di Credi）来完成雕像，但是威尼斯官方最后委托亚历山德罗·莱奥帕尔迪来完成雕像，最终雕像安放在了它今天所在的圣若望及保禄广场。
委罗基奥面对的主要问题是：行动的马抬起一条腿后，青铜的重量仅由三条相对细的腿来支撑，引起稳定的问题。多纳太罗在帕多瓦的雕塑，将抬起的腿放置在球体上，部分解决了这个问题。韦罗基奥是第一个解决这个问题的人，让三条腿支撑马的重量。

圣女婴孩耶稣德肋撒圣殿

圣女婴孩耶稣德肋撒朝圣地圣殿（意大利语：Santuario di Santa Teresa di Gesù Bambino）是一座天主教朝圣地，位于意大利维罗纳南郊的罗马区，由加尔默罗会管理。教堂始建于1901年，于1904年竣工，第二年被祝圣。
该堂于1901年7月29日奠基，1904年完工。1905年1月15日，维罗纳主教巴托洛梅奥·巴西里里枢机为教堂祝圣，最初供奉圣家。1938年4月26日，教宗庇护十一世将其提升为宗座圣殿。
教堂的屋顶拥有两座哥特式尖顶。1968年，立面用砖覆盖，而钟楼于1955年完工。
大广场周围有一扇朴素优雅的锻铁大门，拥有白色大理石柱。广场中央有一座白色卡拉拉大理石的圣德肋撒雕像，周围环绕着玫瑰花床，来到圣殿的人向雕塑投掷玫瑰。
新哥特式钟楼形式精美，优美的钟声音乐会。它是由帕多瓦的达西亚诺·科尔巴奇尼公司于1955年铸造。 九口钟中最大的一个发E♭音, 直径为120厘米，重992公斤。
1905年教堂祝圣时，这座建筑只有围墙，粗糙的天花板和混凝土地板，没有灰泥装饰，直到1922年至1923年，人们对德肋撒的崇拜开始蔓延。这座哥特式教堂的内部才以罕见的辉煌呈现在世人面前，拥有彩色大理石、雕塑、马赛克、窗户、绘画和装饰品。正立面背后的大墙上有一幅由佛罗伦萨的乌戈·巴杰里尼创作的湿壁画，描绘了加尔默罗的神化，以及圣女婴孩耶稣德肋撒的细节。在144平方米的墙壁上共描绘了220个人物。
圣女婴孩耶稣德肋撒小堂是朝圣地的中心，里面装饰华丽。中心是一个坚固的青铜瓮，由四位天使举着。里面有一尊圣女的蜡像，描绘的是她最后一次呼吸的动作，凝视着崇拜她的朝圣者的人群。她手里拿着玫瑰，她的预言得到应验：“我死了以后，将要撒下玫瑰花雨。”德肋撒雕像身穿加尔默罗会会衣，她在利雪修道院里戴了几年的面纱，银丝制的圣骨匣里面有一个圣女的椎骨。

彰邑賜福宮

彰邑賜福宮，位於彰化市大同里中華路111巷19號，主祀三府王爺。距今約有200年之歷史。
彰化賜福宮位於彰化市中華路111巷內，廟宇沿革已不可考，神龕前對聯落款有「道光元年臘月立」(1821年）字樣，推斷已有200年歷史。
2020年，法師李育瑋倡議重修募款，獲得六聖筊，神像出火安奉於彰化慶安宮
2023年落成並入火安座；同年元旦舉行遶境，繞行彰化市四大城門。
賜福宮正殿供奉三府王爺，分別為朱府王爺、李府王爺、金府王爺三尊神像，其中朱、李王爺之神像為泥塑，硬身脫椅型制，兩兩呈現左右相對，皆手扶腰帶，兩尊神像以泥塑技法施作，故頭、身能分離，是早期常見的一種泥塑手法。
金府王爺神像則為軟身型制，神像椅座上刻有「道光辛丑年」字款。
從廟內現存木香爐「朱李王爺」字樣可知賜福宮最早應僅祀朱、李兩位王爺神像，金王爺應為後來增祀。
目前為管理人制，由該里里長擔任廟宇觀管理人
義永寺泥塑觀音大佛

義永寺-泥塑觀音大佛，為位於臺灣高雄市建興三巷一號的義永寺泥塑觀音大佛，於2023年9月被指定為高雄市一般古物，列為高雄市文化資產。
義永寺大殿的泥塑觀音大佛。其歷史可追溯至1972年，為著名泥塑匠師陳祿官及其子陳中和共同完成的作品。陳祿官師承福州派泥塑技藝，其作品分布於全台，尤其集中於大台北地區、宜蘭、新竹、台中與高雄，具有深遠的宗教與藝術影響。二戰後，由於台灣寺院多數損毀，需重塑佛像以延續信仰脈絡，因此1950年代起，陳祿官便致力於打造大型佛像，義永寺的觀音大佛像便是其晚期代表作之一，展現了地方信眾對佛教信仰的高度認同。
義永寺泥塑觀音大佛長415cm、寬480cm、高591cm，據耆老回憶，開種法師將早年經營銀樓所得的黃金飾品熔成金箔，供於佛像的貼金與彩繪，使得這座泥塑作品更顯莊嚴華美。該觀音像呈跏趺坐姿，面容祥和，額有毫點，身著金漆長袍，胸口佩瓔珞，飾有紅綠寶石與鏡片。右手曲肘結法印，左手持淨瓶，姿態端莊威儀，坐於雙層蓮台之上，蓮台正面及側面刻有373位捐獻者名款，包括開種法師、李登輝、陳啟川等重要人物，體現了該佛像不僅是宗教藝術品，更是地方社會與文化的見證。
本件屬陳祿官匠司晚期作品中尺寸最為巨大者，亦為臺灣少見之巨大佛像，其工藝技術與藝術價值具高度稀有性。不僅以其龐大體量與精細結構挑戰了當時匠師的技藝程度，亦因其製作材料與保存技術的特殊性而成為珍貴的文化資產。該佛像保存至今十分完整，充分展現福州派泥塑工藝的傳統技法，亦承載了台灣佛教藝術與地方文化記憶，對研究宗教藝術與地方信仰均具重要參考價值。
王保原

王保原（1929年9月—2021年2月6日），臺灣臺南佳里人，為臺灣剪黏匠師以及剪黏泥塑技術傳承人，師承乃父王石發，為剪黏師何金龍的一脈傳人；作品遍布臺南市佳里區佳里金唐殿、震興宮、中西區西羅殿、新營區真武殿等廟宇。2017年獲得第四屆國家文化資產保存獎（保存傳承類）。
王保原出生於台南佳里。祖父王鬧典（1869年－1931年）為木匠師，父親王石發。於佳里西國民學校高等科 （今佳里國中）畢業後，進入日本陸軍「第5野戰航空修理廠屏東分廠」當幼年工。1944年自願請調臺東機場。
1945年，台灣戰後時期初期，王保原一家經濟陷入困境，遷至台東。因際，和父親前往台東天后宮，修補二戰時期遭毀壞的何金龍剪黏作，從而接任天后宮的油彩工程。此為王保原習藝生涯的開端，習得煮桐油、補土、雕刻木構件安金作法，技法逐漸成熟。1945-1946年，父子二人以半年的時光完成臺東天后宮的彩繪工作。1948年10月，王石發攜家帶眷返回臺南佳里。半年後，下營茅港尾觀音寺聘請王家父子彩繪正殿。隔年娶妻陳櫻花，並開設「瑞昌藝術社」販賣鏡台、天光燈和玻璃匾仔。
1956年，佳里金唐殿進行第四次大整修，內有眾多何金龍作品毀損，王家父子受聘駐進金唐殿。自此，王保原正式接觸剪黏。廟宇出入口龍虎門的對看牆上，留存其新作之「甘露寺」（敘述劉備招親）與「白虎堂」（敘述穆桂英救夫），為其依照何金龍其他壁堵人物配景，從古書挑選新題材所創造。佳里金唐殿闖出名聲後，多所廟宇剪黏和彩繪工作指名王保原施作，如佳里子龍廟(1958)、大潭廟和柳營果毅後鎮西宮(1963)等。收授徒弟蔡根富、呂興貴、楊勝波等人也陸續入門幫忙。
1967年，王保原受佳里興震興宮聘請主持整修，始以高溫耐久的淋碭仿作，讓葉王交趾陶作品得到完善保護，亦邀好友蔡草如畫師前來作畫。興震興宮前殿步口牆面空堵上，有其新作之「白虎關」和「范蠡獻西施」；而前殿內左右兩側空白牆面上，亦有「白虎堂」與「甘露寺」兩堵新創作品。 感於時代轉變，傳統剪黏費工，淋碭製作快速，王保原遂至鶯歌「寄窯」一工廠租窯燒製陶偶，後於佳里家中自設電窯，燒製淋搪。陸續施作將軍文衡聖殿（1968）、澎湖廟宇（1969）、大灣清濟宮（1987）等廟宇。
1981年，佳里番仔寮應元宮完成後，考量身體狀況，王保原不再承接廟宇工程，改以「做工藝」心態製作廟于旌仔堵淋塘人物，直至家中電窯壞掉，遂收手不再施作。
2009年3月，臺南縣政府文化處著手進行其剪黏技藝之調查與保存，王保原於同年底捐贈近200張圖面，和約30張老照片給文化處。2010年10月初，重拾手藝於臺南蕭壠文化園區展出新作。11月，臺南縣政府登錄「王保原傳統廟宇剪黏工藝」為傳統藝術。2011年，獲文化部指定為「剪黏泥塑技術文化資產保存技術保存者」。
2012至2018年連辦8期「王保原剪黏創作傳習工作坊」。「第一期王保原剪黏創作傳習工作坊」於臺南蕭壠文化園區開課，二徒弟呂興貴師傅從關廟遠赴佳里協助講課。2013年7月底，第二期剪黏課程開辦，王保原退居第二位，由徒弟呂興貴師傅主講。第六期工作坊，由學習較佳的學員，共同仿製位於佳里頂廍永安宮步口左側壁堵的保原師作品《孫悟空大鬧天宮》。
2021年2月6日因病逝世，享耆壽93歲。
北后寺泥塑大佛

北后寺泥塑大佛，為位於臺灣宜蘭縣員山鄉尚德村的北后寺的泥塑佛像，列為宜蘭縣文化資產。
約1959年左右，一位人稱「九指師父」的僧人，發願在今礁溪鄉忠孝路103巷23號的妙釋寺下方100多公尺處塑一尊泥塑大佛，遂委請臺北市延平北路廬山軒佛店的陳祿官製作。陳祿官又名「陳誠官」，通稱「樂觀師」，祖父陳清彪與父親陳元齡原在福州工作，到陳祿官才渡海來臺灣。
陳祿官以礁溪的綠竹為骨架，竹子之間以草繩綑綁紮緊，以粗的竹身作骨幹，細的部分則作為腿、手、臉部、耳朵，白石腳的埴土為填充材料，當埴土包覆到一個厚度時，披上一層麻布增加強度，經數日風乾後，再覆上一層土、一層麻布，如此反覆施作，直到泥塑大佛成形，再上漆、彩繪、安金，花了約2年時間製作，1964年或1965年完成。該佛像連同底座蓮花台高5公尺、寬3.3公尺，總重11噸。九指師父在大佛完工不久也離開妙釋寺，不知所終。
佛像原供奉在九指師父等人所建造的圓塔內。以泥土塑成的佛像常因維護不易，像是妙釋寺中曾有三尊約120～150公分的泥塑佛像就風化崩解。2006年，礁溪鄉進行健康休閒專用區自辦市地重劃，該大佛所座落的地點恰位於重劃區內，卻不符重劃後該地使用內容，必須搬遷。妙釋寺本身地狹，無適當的地點供此佛像搬遷，信眾遂在佛前擲筊，求問是否同意搬遷至「圓山」（指礁溪的圓山公園），結果三筊皆同意。但是相關單位卻不同意，因無法在公園內設置神像。
後來全民念佛會會長的黃智彥會同總幹事林枝旺前往探查後，徵得當時北后寺住持覺嚴法師發心同意，由重劃會協助辦理大佛遷移安置至北后寺供奉。北后寺原名「北后宮」，創建於1985年，原主祀媽祖，後來轉而供奉觀世音菩薩而改名，開山住持為釋覺嚴。寺址為員山鄉尚德村八甲路4號。林枝旺完成搬遷工作後，於2007年於礁溪開成寺剃度出家，法號「演一法師」，任北后寺住持。
泥塑大佛在2006年遷至北后寺特別搭建的鋼構小屋內後，因鋼製佛堂冷熱溫差過大，極不利古物保存，信徒發現開始出現裂痕。2012年6月22日，此佛像列為宜蘭古物類文化資產。同年8月4日為建立供奉此佛像的大殿舉行動土典禮，次年同月同日於新殿安座。2014年5月7日，因需整重貼金箔費用，多名信眾昨到北后寺捐贈金飾，如文史工作者陳榮楷就捐贈丈人方財源七點六錢重的三面金牌、礁溪人李日福捐贈過去參加三皇宮落成建醮時親友贈送一兩重的金牌。
礁溪鄉居民心中認為大佛是用當地的泥土與竹子築成的，對其有地方情感，因此有些長者經常前來北后寺頂禮膜拜。
Dawu Clay Sculpture

Dawu Clay Sculpture (Teochew: 涂安仔, Tu Ang Zai) is a famous folk art in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. It is called "Three Chinese Clay Sculpture" because it is made with Clay Figure Zhang and Xihui mountain clay.
It has a history of more than 700 years, with the Qing Dynasty being the most prosperous time for Dawu Clay Sculpture.

Fengxiang clay sculpture

Fengxiang clay sculpture is a folk art form from Liuying village, Fengxiang County, Baoji city, Shaanxi Province. It is called “Ni Huo” by local people. In 2006, the art form was added to China's intangible culture list, and is protected a such.
The sculptures are often sold in markets around the lunar New Year.
Fengxiang clay sculpture originated before 221 BCE, during the pre-Qin period, and later thrived during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). According to local sculptors, the sculptures were originally used as sacrifices, in place of human sacrifices, during the rule of Duke Xian of Qin from 384-362 BCE. In the modern day, they are used as toys and symbols of good fortune and happiness.
The sculptures are made from a special clay called “Ban Ban Tu,” found only in Fengxiang County, northwest of Xi’an. The clay is well-suited for making sculptures because it is very sticky and doesn’t crack easily after it dries. The clay is mixed with pulp, shaped, and then painted. The craft of making the painted clay-figurines of Fengxiang has a recorded history of more than three hundred years. According to folklore, however, the figurines first appeared some six hundred years ago.
The subjects of the figurines span a wide range of bold and brief shapes of wild exaggeration and bright colours with a strong local flavour.
Large wall hangings depicting the heads of animals such as tiger and oxen, are another type of clay sculpture. Auspicious designs like peony (wealth), pomegranate (fertility), “Buddha’s hand” (happiness and kindness), lotus (holy symbol of Buddhism), golden fish (surplus), peach (longevity), and fylfot, or swastika (endless happiness) are drawn on its body.
Frog sculptures with the “Five Poisons” is a unique design popular in rural areas. Ancient Chinese generally called the scorpion, centipede, snake, gecko, and toad the “Five Poisons.” The frog is of the same family as the toad in the “Five Poisons.” People put this hanging frog with “Five Poisons” on children’s beds, with their venomous powers, to keep away evil spirits and disaster from children.
Human figurines of historical figures such as Guan Gong are also made.
Clay Figure Zhang

Clay Figure Zhang (simplified Chinese: 泥人张; traditional Chinese: 泥人張; pinyin: Nírén Zhāng) is a famous folk art in Tianjin, China. It was created by Zhang Mingshan (Chinese: 張明山; 1826–1906) during the Daoguang reign (1821–50) of the Qing dynasty.
Clay Figure Zhang is made of ripe clay which is pure puddle with little sand through the process of weathering, slurrying, filtrating, evaporating, and adding cotton to rub up. It has the characteristics of viscosity. The side materials include wood, vine, lead, paper, flowers, and so on. After completely drying, the clay figure is put into the stove for firing. The temperature is up to 700 degrees Celsius or so. After coming out of the stove, the clay figure is polished and painted. It takes about 30 days or so to finish a piece of work.
The images of Clay Figure Zhang vary from palace maids in costume, historic figures, religious figures, and modern figures to local customs. It is usually displayed indoors, on the shelf for example, because of its small size (usually 20 cm high). Therefore, it is also called Shelf Sculpture. Clay Figure Zhang has vivid realistic characteristics, and can portray the figures' personalities and postures, pursue dissection structures, reasonable exaggerations, suitable acceptance and rejection, and special applying to give attention to both shape and spirit and have great originality.
The Clay Figure Zhang Workshop established in 1958, is engaged in the research of painted sculpture. It has 46 staff members, 5 creation rooms, and 3 shops. Many of its artworks have been awarded and are collected by domestic and abroad art galleries. In 2006, Clay Figure Zhang was listed as a first-grade national legacy of China.
My Lonesome Cowboy

My Lonesome Cowboy is a sculpture created in 1998 by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Produced during Murakami's so-called "bodily fluids" period, the 9.45 ft-tall (288 cm) statue depicts an anime-inspired figure ejaculating a large strand of semen. Like its companion piece Hiropon, My Lonesome Cowboy is an example of superflat art, an art movement founded by Murakami in the 1990s to criticize Japanese consumer culture. The sculpture is noted as among Murakami's most famous works.
My Lonesome Cowboy is an 9.45-foot-tall (288 cm) sculpture depicting a smiling nude anime-inspired male figure with spiked hair. The figure's legs are spread, and he is gripping his large erect penis, which is ejaculating semen that circles around his body like a lasso.
Both My Lonesome Cowboy and its earlier companion piece Hiropon were produced during Murakami's so-called "bodily fluids" phase in the late 1990s, in which he depicted highly sexualized figures inspired by otaku culture. The sculpture is evocative of shunga (a type of historic erotic ukiyo-e which often depicted figures with exaggerated genitalia) and hentai (anime and manga pornography). Murakami hired commercial manufacturers to produce the sculpture in order to maintain fidelity to its otaku source material.
My Lonesome Cowboy is an example of superflat art, an art movement founded by Murakami in the 1990s to criticize Japanese consumer culture. Its title is a dual reference: first to the 1968 Andy Warhol film Lonesome Cowboys, in regards to the pop art movement the film belonged to that was similarly influenced by consumer culture. It additionally references the 1957 film Loving You, in which Elvis Presley performs the song "Lonesome Cowboy" in a pose that similarly emphasizes his thighs and pelvis.
Murakami produced three casts plus two artist's proofs of My Lonesome Cowboy, with the hair of the figure being of different colors in each of the casts. In 2008, the fourth numbered edition of My Lonesome Cowboy sold at an auction by Sotheby's for USD$15.1 million, nearly four times the amount at which it was valued. At the time, the sale made Murakami one of the most expensive living artists in the world.
My Lonesome Cowboy is noted as among Murakami's most famous works. New York Times art critic Roberta Smith wrote that both it and Hiropon "mesmerize through an unsettling combination of innocence, carnal knowledge, beauty, exquisite artifice and arrested movement", though argued that My Lonesome Cowboy is "simplistically macho" compared to the more "nuanced" Hiropon. She nonetheless assesses both pieces favorably, arguing "after their shock value has declined, as all shock value must, they are still interesting to look at", arguing that both pieces are more successful than the erotic sculptures of Jeff Koons and Allen Jones. Art scholar Grace McQuilten is more critical of the piece, calling it "cute and colourful enough to appeal to a general audience at the same time as carrying off a semblance of social critique", arguing that it merely "reproduce[s] a popular fetish" and does not "challenge or modify the otaku stereotype".
Sculptor in Chinese astronomy

The modern constellation Sculptor is not included in the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions system of traditional Chinese uranography because its stars are too far south for observers in China to know about them prior to the introduction of Western star charts. Based on the work of Xu Guangqi and the German Jesuit missionary Johann Adam Schall von Bell in the late Ming Dynasty, this constellation has been classified as one of the 23 Southern Asterisms (近南極星區, Jìnnánjíxīngōu) under the name Firebird (火鳥, Huōdiǎo), together with the stars in Phoenix.
The name of the western constellation in modern Chinese is 玉夫座 (yù fū zuò), meaning "jade worker constellation".

Women's Squash World Rankings

The Women's Squash World Rankings are the official world rankings for women's squash. The WISPA, the WSA and the PSA has used a computerized system for determining the rankings since April 1984. The ranking is to rate the performance level of female professional squash players. It is also a merit-based method used for determining entry and seeding in women's squash tournaments. The rankings were initially produced monthly; this has been changed to weekly basis effective ranking issue dated August 29, 2022.
The current world number one is Nour El Sherbini of Egypt, who replaced Nouran Gohar in September 2023.
Players competing in PSA tournaments earn ranking points according to how far they get in the draw. The points available depend on the prize money and the draw size. The weekly rankings (issued on each Monday) are used in selecting entries to tournaments and in determining the seeds.
Ranking points for each players are made up of a cumulative total consisting of the top 9 tournament results. For instance, if a player has played in 14 events over the course of the period eligible for rankings points, only their best 9 results (in terms of points earned) will count towards their ranking.
Players competing in PSA World Tour Events earn ranking points according to the prize money, classification of the event, and the final position in the draw the player reaches.
Note: The weekly ranking for the women's squash (world ranking) is taken directly from the Professional Squash Association (PSA) official website.
The following is a list of players who have achieved the world number one position since April 1983 (active players in green) :

Sweet spot (sports)

The sweet spot is a place where a combination of factors results in a maximum response for a given amount of effort. In tennis, squash, racquetball, baseball, cricket or golf a given swing will result in a more powerful hit if the ball strikes the racket, bat or club on the latter's sweet spot.
The sweet spot is the location at which the object being struck, usually a ball, absorbs the maximum amount of the available forward momentum and rebounds away from the racket, bat, club, etc. with a greater velocity than if struck at any other point on the racket, bat or club.
In endurance sports such as cycling, sweet spot training aims to maximise training benefit — generally for performance at or near functional threshold power (FTP) — by optimally balancing training effect, physiological strain and maximum duration.
A batted ball with a launch angle between 8 and 32 degrees is quantified as having been hit off the sweet spot of the bat. Balls hit in the sweet spot are not necessarily hit hard with a high exit velocity.
The sweet spot of a cricket bat is roughly 150-160mm above the toe. Scientific research conducted at the University of Cambridge discovered that bamboo bats are stronger with a better sweet spot compared to those made of willow.
Blue Bonnet Court

The Blue Bonnet Court, originally called the Bluebonnet Tourist Camp, is a historic motor court-style motel in north-central Austin, Texas. It is located at 4407 Guadalupe Street, Austin, Texas.
The lot where it stands originally belonged to the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Land Company. In 1925 the land was then purchased by the Halls and had several owners over four years until Elizabeth and Joe Lucas purchased the land for $1,000 in February 1929.
Joe and Elizabeth Lucas then hired the Brydson Lumber Company to construct the Bluebonnet Tourist Camp in anticipation of upcoming traffic along Guadalupe Street, which was paved in 1930. The location was highly sought-after, given its proximity to the Austin State Hospital psychiatric facility (now known as Austin State Hospital) across the street, and was also conveniently located along Guadalupe Street, which at the time was the only route connecting Austin to Dallas.
The motel is situated on the northwestern corner of the Hyde Park subdivision along what was then the main road out of town. In the 1930s it featured Austin's first neon sign, which still hangs from the front (though in a dilapidated condition).
Blue Bonnet Court features a stone wall in front with 11 basic rooms and attached covered parking. The rooms are rented today as efficiency apartments.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

The House of Blue Light

The House of Blue Light is the twelfth studio album by English rock band Deep Purple, released on 12 January 1987 by Polydor Records. It was the second recording by the reformed Mark II line-up, and the sixth studio album overall by this formation of the band.
The album's creation was an exceedingly long and difficult process, which singer Ian Gillan compared to the recording of Who Do We Think We Are in Rome and Frankfurt. Gillan has remarked on how strained relations within the band compromised the album: "I look back at House Of Blue Light, there are some good songs on that record, but there’s something missing in the overall album. I can’t feel the spirit of this band. I can see or hear five professionals doing their best, but it’s like a football team, it’s not functioning. It’s like 11 superstars that are playing on the same field but are not connected by the heart or by the spirit." Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore has said much of it was re-recorded, and confessed, "I think I played like shit on it, and I don't think anyone else really got that into it." Organist Jon Lord later said, "House of Blue Light was a weird album and hard to put together. We made the massive mistake of trying to make our music current. We discovered that people didn't want us to do that."
Despite the band's concerns, House of Blue Light sold well. It hit No. 10 in the UK charts, No. 34 on the Billboard 200 in the United States, and reached the top 10 in six other countries.
Two promotional videos to the songs "Bad Attitude" and "Call of the Wild" were produced, both of which feature members of the band.
Note: Several tracks on the LP and cassette versions are shorter than those on the original CD released in 1987. The 1999 CD remaster used the original vinyl master tapes, meaning its running time is also shorter than the original CD version.
All tracks written by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, except where noted.
In the Blue Light

In the Blue Light is the fourteenth solo studio album by American folk rock singer-songwriter Paul Simon. Produced by Paul Simon and Roy Halee, it was released on September 7, 2018, through Legacy Recordings. The album consists of re-recordings of lesser-known songs from Simon's catalog, often altering their original arrangements, harmonic structures, and lyrics. The songs were recorded with guests including the instrumental ensemble yMusic, guitarist Bill Frisell, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and Bryce Dessner. The album's title is a reference to the lyrics in the song "How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns" from the 1980 album One-Trick Pony.
In an interview for CBC Radio, Simon confirmed that more songs were recorded during sessions for the album but ultimately left off the finished record. Outtakes include a number of unspecified songs from You're the One and a re-recording of "The Sound of Silence" with music based on the arrangement of Simon's live version from recent years. It is unknown whether or not these recordings will be released.
In the Blue Light was released to favorable reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on eleven reviews.
Dave Simpson at The Guardian gave the album four stars and said that "generally, sparser arrangements allow more space for Simon’s dazzling imagery and oblique but relevant ruminations on [several] subjects." Jesse Hassenger of The A.V. Club gave the album a B− and wrote, "It would be easy to get bogged down in treating Blue Light as a compare/contrast exercise, but what’s most impressive about is the way that it sounds more or less of a piece as its own record." David Browne from Rolling Stone wrote that, "At its best, In the Blue Light amounts to a dream set list for devoted PaulHeads who wish he’d do entire shows of rarities." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic opined that "Everything on In the Blue Light is deliberate, gentle, and subtle, placing as much emphasis on the words and melody as the instrumentation, which isn't necessarily the case with the dense original albums."

The organization runs the ACA Annual Cashew Conference and Expo every year in a different country to bolster communication amongst producers and support local cashew industries across Africa.
The ACA introduced the ACA Quality and Sustainability Seal in 2012 to enable certified cashew processors to prove that their products comply by international food safety laws. The seal enables processors without the funds necessary for expensive food safety certifications to sell their products internationally. The ACA certification seal complies with the US Food Safety Modernization Act and is recognized by major purchasing organizations, such as Kraft Foods, Intersnack, and Red River Foods.
Growing demand for cashew nuts in Western Europe have led to increased production of cashews worldwide. As of 2022, cashews are primarily grown and harvested in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Africa produces 58% of the annual yield, with 44% of the production being concentrated in West Africa. In 2019, the Ivory Coast was the world's third largest producers of cashews (0.731 million tonnes) behind Vietnam (2.6 million tonnes) and India (0.786 million tonnes). From 2000 to 2019, 98% of African cashews were exported as raw nuts still within their shell instead of removed and ready for consumption. These raw nuts are exported for processing in Vietnam and India where they can be de-shelled and sold for greater profit. In 2018, extracted cashew nuts from India sold for three times higher than what cashew farmers in the Ivory Coast were paid for raw cashews. An estimated 25% increase in Africa's cashew processing capabilities was projected to generate an additional $100 million in household income for cashew producers. Cashew growers across Africa have responded by increasing their processing capabilities.
The ACA promotes processing raw cashew nuts in Africa rather than exporting them to Vietnam and India.
Eastern tree hyrax

The eastern tree hyrax (Dendrohyrax validus) is a species of mammal within the family Procaviidae. The eastern tree hyrax is the most localized of the tree hyrax species, distributed patchily in a narrow band of lowland and montane forests in Kenya and Tanzania and adjacent islands.
The eastern tree hyrax is a small, rotund guinea pig-like mammal with dense, soft fur and blunt, nailed toes. They weigh on average 2.75 kilograms or 6.1 pounds and have a head-body length of 470 to 558 millimetres (18.5 to 22.0 in). No tail is discernible. Pelage is variable, with dorsal coloration ranging from cinnamon brown to blackish, and a paler underside. Individuals also have a distinctive dorsal scent gland marked by a contrasting, light-colored patch of hairs. Considerable variation exists between subspecies as currently described. The rostrum is relatively long, but well-haired, unlike the related western tree hyrax. Individuals of this species are difficult to distinguish from the related southern tree hyrax, which was previously considered conspecific; however, the fur of southern tree hyrax is usually more grizzled.
The eastern tree hyrax is solitary, living in tree holes, and communicates with other individuals via repetitive vocal calls and scent marking. Most roosts are occupied by only one animal, with the exception of females with one young. They are skilled climbers which feed predominantly in the canopy on tree leaves, and form large middens adjacent to roost trees.
Eastern tree hyraxes are largely restricted to montane forests, but also occur in adjacent lowland forests and even tropical dry forests on coral in Zanzibar and Pemba. They are most abundant at lower elevations, but occur as high as 3,070 meters on Mt. Kilimanjaro, albeit in reduced densities due to the scarcity of large trees.
In 2015, the IUCN designated the eastern tree hyrax as Near Threatened (NT). Its main threats include deforestation and hunting, and individuals often fall prey to dogs. Known natural predators include leopard, crowned eagle, and African python.
The Eastern tree hyrax is endemic to the East African countries of Tanzania and Kenya; they predominantly inhabit the foothills and montane forests of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru and the Eastern Arc Mountains. The Eastern Arcs feature an ancient chain of isolated, relict forests, stretching from the Taita Hills of Southern Kenya to the Udzungwa Mountains of Tanzania. Hyraxes are also present on the coast between Tanga Region, Tanzania, and Mombasa, Kenya, as well as on the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba.
The eastern tree hyrax is currently considered to have four subspecies:
The subspecific status of relict populations of Eastern Tree Hyrax described from coastal Southern Kenya is currently unclear. These populations have been described as using rock crevices as habitat, contrasting with Dendrohyrax’s usually-arboreal behavior.
These subspecies display considerable vocal and morphological variation, thus, some researchers consider Eastern Tree Hyrax to represent a complex of 3-4 distinct species, with further revision required.
