Billie Holiday (April 7, 1915 - July 17, 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and musical partner Lester Young, Billie Holiday had a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing.
Contra Mundum: Looks like Mary Osborne on guitar. And cool that Billie changes up the lyrics in the beginning, singing "I know you raise Cain" instead of "Just say you'll remain".

New York 1911
June 16 - July 31, 2017
The Museum of Modern Art
This documentary travelogue of New York City was made by a team of cameramen with the Swedish company Svenska Biografteatern, who were sent around the world to make pictures of well-known places. (They also filmed at Niagara Falls and in Paris, Monte Carlo, and Venice, although New York 1911 is the only selection in the Museum’s collection.) Opening and closing with shots of the Statue of Liberty, the film also includes New York Harbor; Battery Park and the John Ericsson statue; the elevated railways at Bowery and Worth Streets; Broadway sights like Grace Church and Mark Cross; the Flatiron Building on Fifth Avenue; and Madison Avenue. Produced only three years before the outbreak of World War I, the everyday life of the city recorded here—street traffic, people going about their business—has a casual, almost pastoral quality that differs from the modernist perspective of later city-symphony films like Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler’s Manhatta (1921). Take note of the surprising and remarkably timeless expression of boredom exhibited by a young girl filmed as she was chauffeured along Broadway in the front seat of a convertible limousine.
MoMA’s restoration of New York 1911 is derived from the original nitrate print of the film. Produced by Svenska Biografteatern. Sweden. Silent, with music by Ben Model. 9 min. This presentation is part of an ongoing series that makes film and video works from MoMA’s collection available online.

"The early 1900s were a period of rapid change for New York City. The city's population was ballooning as an influx of immigrants passed through Ellis Island. Massive skyscrapers began popping up seemingly overnight, many of them among the tallest in the world at the time. And new technology such as automobiles and elevated trains made the city more accessible than ever."
Skit Recreates & Poked Fun at The Genesis of The Design of Man - as a Male team of Angels who was tasked with the creation of man, discuss among themselves how to design the perfect manand so they exposed some serious "Design Flaws" in Men!
The Female Angels, who were responsible for making Human Women, decided to see what

Anya Taylor Joy (The Queen's Gambit) as an Angel
A male team of angels was tasked with the creation of man. The female angels, who were responsible for making human women, decided to see what their fellow cherubs had come up with.
The female angels explained the brilliance of women's bodies feeding their babies.
They asked the purpose of men's nipples and were given the best answer I've heard yet: The male angels said men's nipples are to create the illusion of a giant face to scare off predators
But the female angels offered an awesome suggestion!
Unfortunately, they were totally ignored 😏
So the female angels tried to understand human man's anatomy a little better - The male team described the male reproductive organs as the dangler and the wrinkle pouch
🤣 The female angels asked some fair questions... What happens when the human man runs? Does it retract? 🤣 ...and exposed the male angels' obvious design flaw with human man. What about the wrinkle pouch? They respond: Oh that's extremely sensitive. If you flick it, they'll fall over and vomit 🤣 And then, the male angels proudly revealed what happens to human man when he builds up lots of sperm: He gets stupid and goes crazy
😁😂😆🍿😁😂😆🍿😁😂😆🍿😁😂😆
“The nipples are to create the illusion of a human face to scare off predators”
The tips are quite literally the "nibbles"
"So the nipples are the eyes and the mouth... is... what (?)... the little hole, there??"
[fact check]: ADAM didn't HAVE a Belly Button!!
😂
"The Dangler and the Wrinkle Pouch."
"Squieezies"
To be fair that not the worst or funniest name that they called them.
😮 😡 😩
"It is extremely sensitive yes, if you flick it he will fall over and vomit"
"That was my idea" (fist-bumps)
Why are you so proud of these design flaws?!?!
Need to fire that guy.
He is probably responsible for the mosquito.
😮 😡 😩
"You still want to put hair in the butt crack?"
"We'd like to try it, yeah."
🥴
Man: Introduction of the dangler....
Woman: And is THAT final?
🤣
I like the addition of the enthusiastic Zelda character to balance out the other women who are like "WTF"
I like how Melissa's always the one who's cool with all the weird stuff in these sketches.
Get you a woman who supports you the way Zelda supports human man.
Can we just take about how gorgeous all the girls look in white
"What happens if they build up in the wrinkle-pouch?"
"He gets stupid and goes crazy."
The Dangler and Wrinkle Pouch
When will "The Final" be released?
We still have more notes.
As a beta tester, so do I. The hair placement choice was a mistake. Also, the inbuilt cold thermometer is a tad too sensitive.
Fine tuning of the "shrink mechanism" was never done properly.
This
is my literally line of questioning to my boyfriend when I was younger.
Didn’t make since to me then or now. “Why is all your junk on the
outside, seems dangerous and unsanitary. You need an inny”
It's the best argument against Intelligent Design so far.
Forgot
to mention that “design” choice of having the sewage and reproductive
fluids go exactly through the same tubing! Way to go guys!
🤦🏻♀️
A huge missed opportunity was not talking about the pr0st4t3 being the equivalent of the cl1t and then put in the 4nu5 🤣
🤦🏻♀️Well thanks for the periods girls... and for everything else
An Amazing Timelapse Revealing a Cross Sectional View of a Sprouting Kidney Bean Plant Over 25 Days
Showing how roots ant upper part of plant grows. 👇 📺 👇
The timelapse focused YouTube channel GPhase posted an incredible cross sectional view of a sprouting kidney bean plant
over 25 days. The footages shows the sprout first pushing through the
soil and reaching ever upward, while the roots anchor down to keep the
plant steady.
Play speed - 17280x (one shot every 9 minutes 36 seconds played at 30 FPS). This was fourth attempt. During other attempts roots grew hidden, further from the glass.

From the unmatched wonder of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat to the sprawling majesty of the temples of Bagan in Myanmar (aka Burma). From Egypt’s Great Sphinx of Giza to the extraordinary carved city of Petra in Jordan. These remnants of the ancient world have long cast a spell over travelers from every corner of the globe.
In fact, a quick check of any ‘most popular tourist attractions in the world’ list (note attractions, not cities) will likely throw up more ancient man-made sites than modern attractions or natural wonders, with Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, the Acropolis and Rome’s Colosseum regular contenders for the top spot.
People’s interest is clear. We’ve long been fascinated by our past as and how it shapes our future – how people lived, what technologies they had, what their homes and public spaces looked like and just how they built these extraordinary edifices without modern machinery.
But it’s often tough to really get a sense of what these ancient buildings would have looked like in their
heyday - many were resplendent in gold and other finery, intricately carved and finished with elements no modern tourist can ever see and would struggle to imagine.
The Parthenon
Casting views from the hilltop at the Acropolis citadel in Athens, Greece, the Parthenon is a true ancient wonder whose Doric architecture has been ravaged by time and war. Its cavernous halls once held a huge golden statue of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, craft and (ironically) war.
Nohoch Mul Pyramid, Cobá
Original colors and details shine a new light on Nohoch Mul.
The Mayans built some amazing stuff before the Spanish conquistadors spoiled the party, with pyramids to rival those of Egypt. Cobá, set deep and remote in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, was settled some time between 100 BC and 100 AD and occupied right up until 1550. Amid the thick jungle, extraordinary caves and natural pools are dotted many temples, with Nohoch Mul the tallest at 137 feet. Rediscovered in the 1800s and only accessible to the public since 1973, it remains one of the most extraordinary insights into the tenacity of ancient humans to leave their mark anywhere in the world.
Temple of Jupiter
From a few broken columns to its original splendor, the Temple of Jupiter.
As its name suggests, this temple was built in honour of Jupiter, the Roman god of sky and thunder, on the Bay of Naples in a thriving city called Pompeii. Modern man may think they didn’t do a good enough job though, as it was buried beneath the wrath of nearby Mount Vesuvius in 79AD in what remains the most famous volcanic eruption in history. Rediscovered in the 16th century, it took many years of excavation to uncover its limited remains.
Milecastle 39, Hadrian’s Wall
Britain’s lesser known ‘great wall’ was a monumental Roman achievement - 73 miles of border cut through the English countryside dating back to the first century AD. Built (we think) to secure Roman Emperor Hadrian’s grip on the island nation and its pesky inhabitants, it had forts known as Milecastles built at each Roman mile along its length. All but gone now, this gives us a glimpse into how they would have looked.
Luxor Temple
The famed Luxor Temple returning to its original glory.
One of the most recognisable names connected to ancient architecture, Luxor takes its name from the Arabic for fortification – al-Uqsur – and has been a sacred site since its commission in 1380BC by Amenhotep III. It was renovated and updated a century later by Rameses II who added a great pylon gateway and courtyard, connected to the nearby Karnak Temple by an avenue of sphinxes to guard it. An iconic structure in a country filled with them.
The Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán
This virtual renovation shows the true scale of the original Pyramid of the Sun.
A genuine modern day mystery, we know Teotihuacán was one of Mexico’s first urban centres sometime between the first and seventh centuries CE but we don’t know much about who built it or who lived there. Of its many extraordinary and mysterious structures, The Pyramid of the Sun is by far the largest – an ancient, man-made mountain.
Temple B, Area Sacra di Largo Argentina
Temple B – more impressive than its name suggests.
Built in Italy not Argentina as the name may suggest, this gorgeous central Roman square once housed four exquisite temples. The most recently discovered (and least romantically named) Temple B was found in the 1920s and still has six columns and the original steps and altar intact. Perhaps most famous as the place where Julius Caesar uttered his immortal accusation, ‘Et tu, Bruté?’, as he was stabbed to death, it’s one of the lesser known but more remarkable sites from the Roman civilization, and isn’t often open to visitors.
In this video you are going to see some of the amazing historical buildings Digitally Reconstructed ,,,
Expedia’s NeoMan project, created in collaboration with Maja Wrońska and Przemek Sobiecki from “This Is Render”, gives us a unique opportunity to travel back in time and explore the original structures before they were damaged by centuries of natural decay. This creative team reconstructed 7 famous ancient buildings in 3D animations, bringing us back hundreds of years, slowly showing how they were built up into the magnificent structures that they once were. Scroll down to see those stunning ancient engineering works for yourself.
Countries like Greece, Italy, Egypt, and Mexico are famous for some of the most fascinating historical monuments in the world. Sadly, not all of them have managed to survive the cruel wheel of time, and after so many centuries the only thing left to remind us of them are their ruins. But have you ever tried to imagine how those architectural wonders, such as Parthenon in Athens, Mexico’s Pyramid of the Sun, or Italy’s Temple of Jupiter, looked in all their glory?
