Lost Peaks on the Hellmouth

The control room of the abandoned transformer house at Kelenföld Power Plant. The building was designed by Virgil Borbíró and was constructed during 1927-1929. The huge opal glass ceiling gives the room an unspeakable atmosphere. However the Power Plant is still operational this building is abandoned and not being used.

mediumaevum:

The gruesome death of Thomas Becket

One of more graphic depictions of this moment. Three of the four knights attack the archbishop, who is kneeling in prayer before the altar. One of the knights kicks Thomas to the floor, and sends his miter flying as his sword cracks open Thomas’s head.

Edward Grim, who was himself wounded in the attack, wrote down what, according to his account, are the last words of Thomas:

‘For the name of Jesus and the protection of the Church, I am ready to embrace death.’

MERKWELT

[noun]

the merkwelt (German: Merkwelt, meaning “way of viewing the world”, “peculiar individual consciousness”) is a concept in robotics, ethology and biology that describes a creature or android’s capacity to view things, manipulate information and synthesise to make meaning out of the universe. In biology, for example, a shark’s merkwelt for instance is dominated by smell due to its enlarged olfactory lobes whilst a bat’s is dominated by its hearing, especially at ultrasonic frequencies.
