# Os 100 anos do Palácio Piratini terão uma cerimônia celebrando a data do dia 17 de maio, quando o governador Eduardo Leite receberá somente os ex-governadores numa das alas do palácio. A festividade será restrita em função da pandemia e não como estava previsto.

# O palácio teve sua construção iniciada pelo governador Carlos Barbosa, contando com o arquiteto francês Mauricio Gras. Sua conclusão coube ao governador Borges de Medeiros. O projeto teve influência neoclássica, inspirado, segundo alguns pesquisadores, no Petit Trianon, de Versailles. Para marcar a entrada principal e embelezar o pátio interno, entre as alas governamental e residencial, Gras encomendou ao artista francês Paul Landowski, o mesmo artista que criou o Cristo Redentor do Corcovado, no Rio de Janeiro, três esculturas. As que representam a Agricultura e a Indústria estão na fachada principal, colocadas sobre pedestais entre as três portas externas, conforme inclinação do Positivismo gaúcho em exaltar, através da estatuária fachadista, atividades econômicas que aludiam ao progresso. No centro do jardim, que separa as duas alas palacianas, está o grupo escultórico "A Primavera"./.../

Today's selection -- from The Forge of Christendom: The End of Days and the Epic Rise of the West by Tom Holland. Charlemagne and the establishment of 'A.D.' as the basis for calculating dates. At the beginning of the ninth century A.D., with Rome long since crumbled, Constantinople was capitol of the leading Christian empire, the Rome of the East. But the Frankish king Charlemagne had built a new Western empire to eclipse it, extending across much of modern-day Europe. With that achievement firmly in hand he came to Rome and knelt during Christmas Mass at the shrine of St. Peter in the Vatican, where unexpectedly and dramatically Pope Leo crowned him emperor. But perhaps it wasn't so unexpected:

"So it was that Charlemagne came to rule as a second Constantine. ... The whole coronation, Charlemagne would later declare, had come as a surprise to him, a bolt from the blue. Indeed 'he made it clear that he would not have entered the cathedral that day at all, although it was the very greatest of the festivals of the Church, if he had known in advance what the Pope was planning to do.' ...

"Yet still an aura of mystery lingered around the ceremony. Had Charlemagne truly been as ignorant of Leo's plans as he subsequently claimed to be, then it was all the more eerie a coincidence that he should have been in Rome, and in St. Peter's, on the very morning that he was. Eight hundred years had passed to the day since the birth of the Son of Man: an anniversary of which Charlemagne and his advisers would have been perfectly aware. Over the preceding decades, the great program of correctio had begun to embrace even the dimensions of time itself. Traditionally, just as popes had employed the regnal year of the emperor in Constantinople on their documents, so other churchmen had derived dates from a bewildering array of starting points: the accession of their local ruler, perhaps, or an ancient persecution, or, most extravagantly, the creation of the world./.../

MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS | ALL TOPICS   New Black Hole Math Closes Cosmic Blind Spot By STEVE NADIS A mathematical shortcut for analyzing black hole collisions works even in cases where it shouldn’t.

But They’ve Done Little to Solve It The Rope (After Marsden Hartley), oil pastel/paper | 2018   Artwork by Vincent Valdez BY JANELL ROSS UPDATED: MAY 12, 2021 11:55 PM EDT | ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: MAY 13, 2021 6:30 AM EDT In 1937, the Carnegie Corporation hired a Swedish man to unravel an American quandary. The foundation had a history of funding initiatives to help the disadvantaged; in the U.S., where enslavement was only 72 years gone, the disadvantaged were disproportionately Black. The issue was often described as, simply, “the Negro Problem.” But while it was clear that the problem existed, it was also obvious how difficult it was to solve. And so the foundation brought in economist, sociologist and future Nobel Prize winner Gunnar Myrdal to gather information to guide its programs. Myrdal did much more. Almost seven years later, he produced a two-volume study he dubbed An American Dilemma, exploring, in statistical detail, the evidence of the great American lie—the gap between the nation’s ideals and its racial reality. Myrdal was far from the first to try to illuminate the effects of ongoing institutional racism, the frequent and extreme way it pushed the U.S. away from its core ideals and constitutional promises. And he certainly would not be the last. Alexis de Tocqueville in 1835, W.E.B. Du Bois in 1900 and again in 1935 and the Kerner Commission in 1968, among others, enriched our national understanding of troubles we still face today. But Myrdal and his army of social scientists seemed, for at least a time, to cut through America’s fairytale understanding of itself. The study was one of just a few credited with prompting the Supreme Court to put a legal end to school segregation./.../ Existe já uma razoável consciência sobre importância da equidade racial. E sober a Equidade Social?  E nós? #From: Brain Pickings by Maria Popova Love Is the Last Word: Aldous Huxley on Knowledge vs. Understanding and the Antidote to Our Existential Helplessness To understand anything — another person’s experience of reality, another fundamental law of physics — is to restructure our existing knowledge, shifting and broadening our prior frames of reference to accommodate a new awareness. And yet we have a habit of confusing our knowledge — which is always limited and incomplete: a model of the cathedral of reality, built from primary-colored blocks of fact — with the actuality of things; we have a habit of mistaking the model for the thing itself, mistaking our partial awareness for a totality of understanding. Thoreau recognized this when he contemplated our blinding preconceptions and lamented that “we hear and apprehend only what we already half know.” Generations after Thoreau and generations before neuroscience began illuminating the blind spots of consciousness, Aldous Huxley (July, 26 1894–November 22, 1963) explored this eternal confusion of concepts in “Knowledge and Understanding” — one of the twenty-six uncommonly insightful essays collected in The Divine Within: Selected Writings on Enlightenment (public library).
