The Art of Buddhism: An Introduction to Its History and Meaning by Denise Patry Leidy 320 pages, Hardcover Published October 14, 2008 by Shambhala - "As its teachings spread from the Indian subcontinent in all directions across Asia, Buddhism influenced every culture it touched—from Afghanistan to Korea, from Mongolia to Java. Buddhist art is a radiant reflection of the encounter of the Buddha’s teachings with the diverse civilizations that came under their sway. It is also an intriguing visual record of the evolution of Buddhist practice and philosophy over a period of more than two millennia. More than two hundred photographs provide the visual context for this tour of the world of Buddhist art. Included in the rich variety of forms are architecture and monumental art, statuary, paintings, calligraphy, fresco, brushwork, and textile arts. Denise Leidy’s guide is the perfect introductory text for all those intrigued by this splendid aesthetic tradition. It is also an essential resource for all who seek to understand Buddhist art as teaching."

Water firms sent bailiffs to tens of thousands of homes for debts under £1,000.
Exorbitant water bills. One-third covers interest & dividend payments
Companies paid over £85bn in dividends, borrowed billions to pay. Sewage dumped in rivers, fines waived. No bailiff ever sent. No exec punished

'And we could call ourselves ...' she paused. As always on the Discworld, which was right on the very edge of unreality, little bits of realness crept in whenever someone's mind was reson- ating properly. This happened now. ...

Nanny Ogg looked slyly from Granny to Magrat. 'We could call it Vir -' she began. A gust of wind caught all three sticks and whirled them up. There was a brief panic as the witches brought them under control.
I had completely forgotten this outrageous bit of punnery in Witches Abroad, in which Nanny and Magrat muse over the idea of taking passengers on broomsticks…

This artwork titled "Taurus" by Remedios Varo depicts a surreal, ethereal bull formed from a reddish swirling mist, set against a dark, cosmic background. The piece is illustrative of Varo's distinctive style, blending mystical themes with elements of astrology and the fantastical.
