  1. Constantinople -- Worlds
    Constantinople's 85 minute, 8 part journey begins with contrasting pronouncements of belief and ends with a utopian sense of unity. Movements entitled Creeds, Kyrie, Ah Kalleli, On Death and Dying, and Alleluia feature the Gryphon Trio with one or both singers as well as choral and orchestral textures embedded in a powerful surround-sound electronic musical and visual experience. Virtuosic, reflective and intimate, the movements Odd World, Dance of the Dictators, and Old Photographs highlight the artistry and chemistry of the Gryphon Trio.
  2. Olive Thomas -- Marriage
    The home of Mrs. Daisy Thomas of Machias was the scene of a quiet wedding Saturday evening, February 14, when her daughter, Lorus Olive, was untied in marriage to Edward M. Gemmer, of Monroe. The marriage service was read by the Rev. W.E. Henry of Everett. The bridal party descended the stairs as the "Bridal Song" from Lohengrin was played by Miss Mabel Thomas, the bride's sister, and took their places beneath a large white bell and canopy of evergreens, which decorated a corner of the room. The bride and groom were attended by the bride's sister, Amy Lotus Thomas and the groom's brother, Fred Gemmer. The bride wore a dainty gown of cream georgette crepe over cream satin, with veil of silk net, and carried a shower bouquet of pink brides rose, white freesias, sweet peas and asparagus fern.
  3. Buster Keaton -- New York
    Buster Keaton plays a young lawyer who will inherit $7 million at 7 o'clock on his 27th birthday--provided he is married. Long before discovering this, Keaton has pursued a lifelong courtship of Ruth Dwyer, whose refusals have become ritualistic over the years (the passage of time is amusingly conveyed by showing a puppy grow to adulthood). He proposes again, but this time she turns him down because she thinks (mistakenly) that he wants her only so that he can claim his inheritance. The doleful Keaton is ... obliged to spend the few hours left before the 7 PM deadline in search of a bride--any bride. He has no luck whatsoever until his pal T. Roy Barnes prints the story of Keaton's incoming legacy in the local newspaper. As a result, literally hundreds of women, bedecked in veils and bearing bouquets, chase Keaton through the busy streets of Los Angeles.
  4. Aleister Crowley -- Golden Dawn
    Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, was an English occultist, writer and mystic. His interests and accomplishments were wide-ranging: among other things he was a poet, painter, astrologer, and social critic; he experimented with various drugs and was an excellent chess player. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge where he read English literature and became interested in the occult, investigating alchemy, mysticism, and magic. He was involved in several occult organizations, including the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.).
  5. Mithras -- Gods
    A second version of this scene is illustrated both in a painting in the Palazzo Barberini Mithraeum, Rome, and in a relief from Poetovio where in each case Mithras and Sol are shown standing on either side of an altar. In the example from Rome both are holding a small spit on the altar; at Poetovio (Fig. 23) both gods are holding out their hands to one another, and a spit can again be made out with small pieces of meat skewered on to it, as is still customary in Yugoslavia. The spit is being held over the altar while the raven comes to nibble at the meat, but on a painting at Dura-Europos the raven himself offers this spit for the sacred meal. It is clear... that the scene at Pettau is not to be regarded merely as a variant on the meal in which Sol and Mithras ultimately partake as fraternal allies, because in the Palazzo Barberini Mithraeum these two acts are portrayed on separate panels. The scene probably illustrates the formal confirmation of the pact of Sol and Mithras, an action which preceded the divine meal which itself took place before their ascent to heaven in the chariot of the sun.
  6. King Lear -- Plays
    The Fool in King Lear is a gnomic and often misunderstood presence. In the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, shortened versions of the play omitted the character altogether. Although the role has been reduced for this production, it has ... been daringly reconfigured. Rather than a manic young whippersnapper—as the character is commonly acted—Michael Bryant plays the Fool as a decrepit hanger-on as ancient and tired as Lear himself. Bryant is like a dyspeptic vaudevillian gamely firing zingers from the dais at a Friars Club roast. It’s an inspired idea and hints that Lear and his Fool have accompanied one another into a bitter late-life.
  7. Etna -- Eruptions
    On 22 June, Etna erupted with lava flowing down the flanks prior to Strombolian activity. Volcanic bombs were thrown ~400 m above the crater and lava fountains reached a height of 150 m. An ash plume rose to ~3 km and very strong degassing was observed at the Bocca Nuova crater. On 24 June, another eruption lasted more than 2 hours. On 27 June, an eruption occurred at the NNE vent on the Southeast Crater. On 28 June and 30, eruptive episodes were ... recorded. Increased degassing was observed at the Northeast Crater on 3 July.

    The Hindu Kush is one of the great watersheds of Central Asia, forming part of the vast Alpine zone that stretches across Eurasia from east to west. It runs northeast to southwest and divides the valley of the Amu Darya (the ancient Oxus River) to the north from the Indus…
