Father Efstratios Dimou – “Papa Stratis” to all and sundry – sits in the front yard of his house, surrounded by flowers in earthenware pots, a small apricot tree and his big bear-like dog, Siba. Overhead on the Greek island of Lesvos, swallows fly in and out of a nest on the wall.
#Vatican to host #Palestine-Israel ’peace prayer’ with Abbas, Peres
▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/vatican-host-palestine-israel-peace-prayer-abbas-peres
Pope Francis on Sunday hosts an unprecedented peace prayer meeting with Israeli President #Shimon_Peres and Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas in a symbolic gesture to foster dialogue but unlikely to have any immediate effect. Tensions are running high between the two sides following the formation of a new Palestinian unity government backed by the Hamas and the announcement of Israeli plans for building 3,200 new settler homes. The Vatican is realistic about the effects of the ceremony. read more

Pope Francis made an unscheduled stop at Israel’s towering West Bank apartheid wall in Bethlehem Sunday after calling for an end to the “increasingly unacceptable” Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The pope has said his three-day visit to the Middle East, which began in Jordan Saturday, has “purely religious” motives, but Palestinians hoped he would show support for statehood, weeks after the collapse of US-brokered peace talks with the Israelis. Francis was to (...)
#Pope begins #Mideast tour

Pope Francis headed for #Jordan Saturday at the start of a Middle East tour aimed at boosting ties with Muslims and Jews as well as easing an age-old rift within Christianity. The Vatican has billed Francis’ first visit to a region roiled by religious and political differences as a “pilgrimage of prayer,” saying the pope will shun bulletproof vehicles in favor of open-top cars despite security concerns. read more

Fearing disruption by Jewish extremists when #Pope_Francis visits Jerusalem, police said on Friday they would issue restraining orders against 10 more right-wing activists, bringing the total to 15. “Yesterday the head of the Jerusalem district mentioned that there would be a further 10,” police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP on Friday. He did not give further details. On Wednesday, Israel placed three young Jews under house arrest on suspicion they were planning to disrupt the pontiff’s Sunday-Monday visit. read (...)

Israel has decided to place under house arrest three young Jewish extremists suspected of planning to disrupt #Pope_Francis's visit to the Holy Land this weekend, police said on Wednesday. “The police and Shin Bet (security service) have taken out restraining orders against several right-wing activists who, according to information from Shin Bet, are planning to commit provocative acts during the pope’s visit,” police spokeswoman Luba Samri told AFP. Samri, who did not elaborate on what it was thought they intended to do, said the restraining order would apply for four days. read more
400.000 oeuvres d’#art du MET à télécharger gratuitement... et légalement | Slate.fr

Vous rêvez de retrouver les Picasso ou Monet que vous avez admiré au MET ? Ou n’y étant jamais allé, vous voulez les contempler depuis chez vous en bonne résolution ? Ou vous êtes prof et vous voulez en faire profiter vos élèves ? Depuis quelques jours, le Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York propose près de 400.000 œuvres d’art en libre accès et téléchargement.
par exemple ici :
▻http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/334819?rpp=30&pg=1&ao=on&ft=albrecht+d%C3%BCrer&pos=7
Attention quand même la licence OASC est pour les recherches académiques.
Open Access for Scholarly Content
▻http://www.metmuseum.org/research/image-resources#scholarly
Une fois le contenu accessible en ligne on vérifie que son créateur est mort depuis au moins 70 ans et tu fais avec ce que tu veux. Sauf ... s’il s’agt de #Peter_Pan ou #Popeye qui sont protégés pour l’éternité comme marques déposées. Je crains qu’ #Anne_Frank rentre dans la me catégorie, mais c’est un sujet apart.
Je vois deux failles à vérifier systématiquement quand on a l’intention d’utiliser du contenu apparemment libre :
– Marque déposée cf. #Peter_Pan
– Copyright périmé aux US mais droits d’auteurs toujours existants en Europe
– après il y a toujours les trolls CC qui te font ch... avec leurs interprétations des licenses libres ...
– ah oui, chez nous il y aussi a la direction des musées régionales (qui appartiennent à l’état mais ont une structure légale privée) qui te réclament du fric quand tu publies des photos des châteaux et des parcs ...
– ... etc. ...
Comme quoi tu n’es même pas tranquille quand tu utulises tes propres photos.
Bref : arrête de publier des trucs en ligne et t’es tranquille :-/
je mets quand même #images_gratuites
J’ai pas compris où on trouvait les images en grand format. Là je suis sur un Picasso et j’ai une image toute petite et je ne vois pas de lien ou bouton pour avoir une grande image :
▻http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/336519?rpp=30&pg=1&rndkey=20140521&ao=on&ft=*&who=Pablo+Picasso&pos=20
Ah ok donc c’est de la publicité mensongère le « 400.000 oeuvres d’art du MET à télécharger gratuitement » puisque seule une (petite ? grande ?) partie est téléchargeable.
Et du coup il faudrait un moyen de filtrer dans la recherche les œuvres qui ont une vraiment photo HD sinon c’est un peu chiant si c’est au hasard de centaines de clics.

Vandals sprayed anti-Christian graffiti on a Jerusalem church on Friday, despite Israeli police stepping up security around religious sites ahead of a visit by Pope Francis later this month. “Price tag... King David for the Jews... Jesus is garbage” was spray-painted in Hebrew on the wall of St George’s, a Romanian Orthodox church near an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. “Price tag” is a euphemism for hate attacks by Zionist extremists. read (...)

Instead of providing a liver or kidney to a needy recipient, pope Benedict’s body will belong to the church when he dies, said one #Vatican official, who suggested that veneration of the pontiff’s remains would be complicated if they were not all in the same place.

So it was with a little hope that opposition leaders asked to meet Archbishop Martin Vidovic, the papal nuncio in #Belarus. They carried a letter to the Pope, which said: “Today Belarus is enshrouded in darkness. Arrests of activists, raids and pogroms at independent websites and newspaper offices, searches of apartments continue. The authorities are blackmailing the political prisoners using their little children. We are seeking your help.” The nuncio refused to meet them. Later he relented, but Ratzinger has not protested against the oppression or promised to break diplomatic relations with the outlaw state.
