This isn't a great photograph, but it is my own Picasso which I bought in the 1960s in Paris. Called the Connoisseurs. It's got some provenance tags on the back. It's fun to look at.

"“The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see,” wrote Ayn Rand in her novel The Fountainhead. That there is a link, a connection, between the west’s military interventions in the Middle East and terrorist attacks against the west, that violence begets violence, is “glaringly evident” to anyone with open eyes, if not open minds."

And Hate Begat Hate

By AHMED RASHID

Pakistanis are paying the price for America’s two wars, and its failed nation building. Increasingly they ask, “Why do Americans hate us?”

'Big Bang' Pioneers Rethink Banking Overhaul

As the G-20 meets to fix the global financial system, some architects of the reforms that begat the system are questioning the ideal of unfettered capitalism on which it was built.

4. "The Computer and the Cartouche: Begetting the Architecture of J. M. Coetzee's Slow Man," by Brian Macaskill, John Carroll Univ.

Growing older in a new Australian world, whose strategies of communication and representation are increasingly tied to younger mechanisms of a pictorially-based World-Wide-Web, the protagonist of J.M. Coetzee's Slow Man finds himself returning to a communicative memory of his (French) Childhood: "Watching scraps of paper being screwed into cartouches and shot from one department to another along pneumatic tubes." Instead of referring in this way to "the protagonist" of Coetzee's most recent novel, I should, more accurately, identify Paul Rayment as the male protagonist of a book that also puts to work a by now more familiar female protagonist, Elizabeth Costello, in its pursuit and procreation of an ongoing series of interests that have come to characterize with increasing intensity Coetzee's recent work. This paper argues that the cartouche--in French either a masculine or a feminine noun whose various meanings range all the way from ancient heraldic emblem of identity, to coffin, and to gun (and ink) cartridge--serves as a figural blueprint of Slow Man's engagement with the relationship between the temporality of words and the spatial: the worlds words build.

One of the more radically pertinent meanings of the cartouche in this argument—a meaning whose polysemantics hearken back to an etymological play older than hypertextuality--is that of the emblem identifying the provenance of a map, or the identity-key to an architectural drawing.

Pneumatic Tube System A system for sending small items or papers from one location to another in a building. The item to be sent is placed in a small cylinder that fits snugly in a tube that connects the two locations. Then, the cylinder moves rapidly through the tube to its destination as a result of a force provided by air pressure or a vacuum.

A screw lock HMS carabiner

A carabiner or karabiner is a metal loop with a sprung or screwed gate.^[1] The loop part opposite the gate is referred to as the spine. It can quickly and reversibly connect components in safety-critical systems. The word comes from "Karabinerhaken", meaning "hook for a carbine" in German.^[2]
The term "carabiner" was not adopted as an English word for some time. According to Fergus Fleming's book on the beginning of alpinism, Killing Dragons: The conquest of the Alps, the early British climbers derided aids like carabiners, ice axes and crampons leaving their development to Italian, French and other alpinists.^[3]
