[paganizmturkiye]

Yunan Büyü Papirüslerinde tanrılarla yapılan büyü ve sihirler için nispeten basit bir yöntem vardır. Çoğu için genel yapı, tanrıyı çağırmak; istekle ilgili niteliklerini, sıfatlarını veya başarılarını belirtmek (genellikle üç); ayrıntılı isteğinizi okumak ve son olarak isteğin basitleştirilmiş bir versiyonunu bir hareketle okumak ve birkaç kez tekrarlamaktır. Her zaman olduğu gibi, bir tanrıyı çağırmadan önce onun hakkında bilgi edinmenizi tavsiye ederiz. Bazı büyüler maksimum etki için yedi güne kadar tekrarlanırdı. Antik büyüler üzerine yapılan bir araştırmada, bunların yarısından biraz daha azında (yüzde 42) adak kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Bu, sunuların her zaman gerekli olmadığı ya da sadece niteliklerini ve özelliklerini okumanın sizin adınıza hareket etmeleri için yeterli olduğu anlamına gelebilir. Kendiniz için deneyin. Boşlukları notlarınızla ve majikal niyetleriniz veya hedeflerinizle doldurun.

Ey _______ (tanrıyı çağırma),

_______ (tanrının nitelikleri).

_______ , _______ , _______ (istekle ilgili 3 sıfat veya başarı).

_____________________ (ayrıntılı istek)!

_____________________ (bir hareketle basitleştirilmiş istek-birkaç kez tekrarlayın)!

İşte bir örnek:

Ey Dionysos,

Ölümlülerin kurtarıcısı ve coşku getiricisi.

Ey dansın ve sarhoşluğun gürültülü tanrısı, çiçek açan, kanatları veren.

Senden, başarılarımızı kutlarken bana ve arkadaşlarıma mutlu, şenlikli ve güvenli bir gece bahşetmeni istiyorum. Eğlence ve coşku yaşamamıza izin ver!

Dionysos, neşe olsun!

Son satır söylenirken, ellerinizi gökyüzüne doğru kaldırın, sonra yavaşça yanlarınıza düşmelerine izin verin. Büyünün son satırını bu hareketle birkaç kez tekrarlayın. Büyü tamamlandı!

UN POCO DE MITOLOGIA GRIEGA 

Dioses griegos

Los dioses del panteón griego adoptaban figuras humanas y personificaban las fuerzas del Universo; al igual que los hombres, los dioses helenos eran impredecibles, por eso unas veces tenían un estricto sentido de la justicia y otras eran crueles y vengativos; su favor se alcanzaba por medio de los sacrificios y de piedad, pero estos procedimientos no eran siempre efectivos puesto que los dioses eran muy volubles.

Heródoto afirma que Homero y Hesíodo fueron quienes dieron nombre a los dioses y asignaron a cada uno de ellos su quehacer o cometido, al mismo tiempo que les dieron su forma y atributos; aún reconociendo la importancia de la fuente no podemos olvidar que Homero recoge en sus escritos una tradición oral que se remonta a varias generaciones que estos autores se limitan a fijar entre los años 850 a 750 adC.

Los citados autores describieron a los dioses como arquetipos de la Humanidad; la escultura griega y, en general, su arte, se encargarían de retratar a los dioses olímpicos con una perfección y belleza que ha llegado a nuestros días como modelos artísticos; ahora bien, aquellos dioses también eran arquetipos de la realidad humana en todas sus acepciones y, por tanto, también la realidad religiosa del pueblo.

Dioses principales

1.Afrodita(amor y belleza)

2.Apolo(sol y profecía)

3.Ares(guerra injusta)

4.Artemisa(luna y caza)

5.Atenea(guerra justa)

6.Dionisio(vid y placeres)

7.Hefesto(fuego y metales)

8.Hera(matrimonio)

9.Hermes(comerciantes y ladrones)

10.Hades(inframundo)

11.Poseidón(océano)

12.Zeus(cielos y soberanía del Olimpo)

Dioses menores

Además de los doce dioses principales del panteón griego, existen otras deidades de menor poder y prestigio. Aunque muchos de estos dioses se ven relegados a simples lacayos de sus poderosos familiares, también merecen un apartado donde se les preste la debida atención. En esta sección vamos a saldar esa deuda pendiente.

Vamos a dividir esta sección en dos apartados diferentes .Dicho esto, podemos pasar a ver los dioses menores.

Personajes mitológicos

Héroes y Semidioses

Según Hesiodo, los héroes eran seres de una raza diferente a la de los mortales y a la de los dioses. Los semidioses son personajes nacidos de la unión de un mortal y de un dios (muchos de ellos son hijos de Zeus).

Muchos de los héroes que la mitología griega nos muestra, son seres humanos mortales que han sido honrados después de su muerte con ese “carácter” ya que su destino fue digno de ser narrado tras su fallecimiento, por extraordinario.

Así, Tántalo, Edipo o Cécrope son unos héroes, al igual que Heracles, Aquiles o Perseo. Su comportamiento a menudo los lleva al “hybris” (que actualmente lo conoceríamos como “a lo heroico”) y su muerte es la mayoría de las veces violenta.

Por extensión, todo aquel personaje que ha conocido un destino digno de ser contado es nombrado héroe. Dentro de estos héroes encontraríamos a los jefes militares de la Ilíadao o a los héroes epónimos de Atenas.

Como antes hemos adelantado, los semidioses son la gran mayoría hijos de Zeus. Son hijos que el Dios ha engendrado en mortales, ya que el descendía muchas veces a la Tierra con este propósito. Como ejemplo podríamos ver a la madre de Perseo, Dánae. En esa ocasión Zeus se transformó en lluvia de oro para entrar dentro de la torre donde la joven fue encarcelada.

Criaturas mitológicas

Los monstruos representan el espanto por lo desconocido y abundan en la mitología griega. Se pueden dividir en varios tipos: los híbridos, que se componen de partes de otros animales o seres humanos; aquellos que tienen su origen en metamorfosis, casi siempre provocadas por un castigo divino; y los que simplemente tienen cualidades corporales fuera de lo normal.

Cíclope

Dríadas

Equidna

Esfinge

Gerión

Hidra

Jabalí de Calidonia

Jabalí de Erimanto

Titanes

En la mitología griega, los Titanes —masculino— y Titánides —femenino— (en griego antiguo Τιτάν, plural Τιτᾶνες) eran una raza de poderosos dioses que gobernaron durante la legendaria edad dorada.

Los Titanes fueron doce desde su primera aparición literaria, en la Teogonía de Hesíodo; en su Biblioteca mitológica Apolodoro añade un decimotercero, Dione, una doble de Tea. Estaban relacionados con diversos conceptos primordiales, algunos de los cuales simplemente se extrapolaban de sus nombres: el océano y la fructífera tierra, el sol y la luna, la memoria y la ley natural. Los doce Titanes de la primera generación fueron liderados por el más joven, Cronos, quien derrotó a su padre, Urano (‘Cielo’), a instancias de su madre, Gea (‘Tierra’).

Posteriormente los Titanes engendraron una segunda generación, notablemente los hijos de Hiperión (Helios, Eos y Selene), las hijas de Ceo (Leto y Asteria) y los hijos de Jápeto (Prometeo, Epimeteo, Atlas y Menecio).

Los Titanes precedieron a los doce olímpicos, quienes, guiados por Zeus, terminaron derrotándolos en la Titanomaquia (‘Guerra de los Titanes’). La mayoría de ellos fueron entonces encarcelados en el Tártaro, la región más profunda del inframundo.

Primera generación

La primera generación de Titanes, hijos de Urano y Gea, está formada por:

Titanes

Océano, el río que circundaba el mundo.

Ceo, titán de la inteligencia.

Crío, dios de los rebaños y las manadas, esposo de Euribia (hija de Ponto) y padre de Palas.

Hiperión, el fuego astral.

Jápeto, esposo de la oceánide Clímene y padre de Prometeo, ancestro de la raza humana.

Cronos, el más joven, que destronó a Urano y fue rey de los dioses.

Titánides

Febe, la de la corona de oro.

Mnemósine, personificación de la memoria y madre de las Musas con Zeus.

Rea, reina de los dioses con Cronos.

Temis, encarnación del orden divino, las leyes y las costumbres, y madre de las Horas y las Moiras con Zeus.

Tetis, diosa del mar.

Tea, diosa de la vista.

Algunos autores consideran también parte de esta generación a Dione, si bien otros la consideran una oceánide.

Segunda generación

El matrimonio entre hermanos era corriente en la mitología griega, y varios Titanes y Titánides se unieron, engendrando una segunda generación de Titanes:

Océano y Tetis engendraron las ninfas Oceánides, los ríos (Oceánidas) y manantiales.

Hiperión y Tea a Helios (el sol), Selene (la luna) y Eos (la aurora).

Ceo y Febe a dos hijas, Lete y Asteria.

Cronos y Rea formaron la pareja más importante, pues fueron los reyes de los dioses, y tuvieron seis hijos:

Hestia, diosa del hogar.

Hera, diosa de la fidelidad y el matrimonio, reina del Olimpo.

Hades, dios del inframundo.

Deméter, diosa de la agricultura.

Poseidón, dios de los océanos.

Zeus, dios supremo, rey de todos los dioses del Olimpo.

Otros descendientes de la primera generación son:

Asteria, hija de Ceo y Febe.

Astrea, diosa de la justicia, predecesora de Dice.

Astreo, padre de los vientos y las estrellas errantes.

Atlas, castigado a sostener sobre sus hombros con los pilares que mantenían la tierra separada de los cielos.

Eos, la aurora.

Eósforo, la estrella de la mañana y de la tarde (Venus).

Epimeteo, hermano de Prometeo, progenitores de la humanidad.

Helios, el sol.

Leto, madre de Apolo y Artemisa.

Menecio, hijo de Jápeto y Asia.

Palas, dios de la sabiduría.

Perses, hijo de Crío y Euribia.

Prometeo, el amigo de los mortales que robó el fuego de los dioses.

Selene, diosa de la luna.

Titán, hermano de Helios y dios (quizá) del calendario anual.

Otros miembros de la segunda generación no suelen ser llamados Titanes:

Caanto, hermano de Melia.

Dione y Metis, que se suelen considerar oceánides.

Los Oceánidas o dioses-río.

Las Oceánides, ninfas marinas.

Pico, rey del Lacio.

Quirón, el centauro.

Dua Dekade ITB STIKOM Bali, Puncak Acara di Pantai Pandawa Hadirkan Tulus

BALIPORTALNEWS.COM, DENPASAR - Hari ini, 10 Agustus 2022 adalah Dua Dekade ITB STIKOM Bali mengabdi negeri melalui lembaga pendidikan. Tapi puncak acaranya akan diadakan di Pantai Pandawa, Kuta Selatan pada Sabtu (13/8/2022) mendatang, dengan menghadirkan bintang tamu artis nasional, Tulus. Sukses ITB STIKOM Bali hingga dikenal ke luar negeri, memiliki sejarah menarik nan menggelitik. Dulu, untuk menyebarkan brosur saja repotnya setengah mati. Maklum, karyawannya hanya tiga orang perempuan. Mereka rangkap sebagai staf administrasi, marketing, cleaning service hingga tukang buka - tutup kantor. Hari ini 20 tahun lalu, tepatnya pada 10 Agustus 2002 sebuah perguruan tinggi teknologi informasi (TI) pertama kali berdiri di Denpasar dan menjadi satu-satunya perguruan tinggi TI di Bali dan Nusa Tengggara yang menyelenggarakan pendidikan TI hingga jenjang sarjana (S-1). Namanya adalah Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen Informatika dan Teknik Komputer (STMIK) STIKOM Bali. Kejelian para pendiri Yayasan Widya Dharma Shanti (WDS) Denpasar yang menaungi STMIK STIKOM Bali yakni Prof. Dr. I Made Bandem, MA., Drs. Dharmadiaksa, M.Si, Ak., Drs. Satria Dharma dan Lilis Yuningsih, SH., MM.Kom., serta Dr. Dadang Hermawan sebagai Ketua STMIK STIKOM Bali memberi nama ‘STIKOM’ di belakang STMIK itulah yang membawa hoki sampai sekarang. Sebab orang tidak perlu repot-repot menyebut STMIK STIKOM Bali tapi cukup menyebut STIKOM saja. Karena, memang, STIKOM sendiri adalah singkatan dari Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Komputer. Dadang Hermawan, Ni Luh Putu Putri Srinadi, Ni Made Astiti, dan Putu Anita Diastuti adalah sosok kwartet di balik sukses STMIK STIKOM Bali. Mereka mengawalinya di dua buah ruko berlantai dua di Jl. Pulau Kawe, Denpasar Barat. Setelah izin operasional keluar pada 10 Agustus 2002, mereka segera berpromosi mencari calon mahasiswa baru. Tantangannya luar biasa. Di tengah gencar promosi, beberapa kali STMIK STIKOM Bali diberitakan miring oleh sebuah harian lokal. “Kok belum punya izin tapi berani buka pendaftaran mahasiswa baru. Para orang tua yang sudah mendaftarkan anaknya jadi galau. Mereka telepon menanyakan kebenaran berita tersebut. Tapi kami jawab, ada kok izinnya, kalau gak percaya silahkan datang cek. Mereka datang, kami perlihatkan izinnya barulah mereka percaya,” cerita Putri Srinadi sambil tertawa. Apalagi saat itu, Dadang Hermawan sebagai Ketua STMIK STIKOM Bali, tinggal di Malang. Komunikasi hanya lewat telepon. Menghadapi pemberitaan miring tadi, Putri Srinadi sempat curhat ke Dadang. “Pak kita diberitakan miring terus, apa kita gak jawab. Tapi pak Dadang bilang gak usah, hitung-hitung promosi gratis,” kenang Putri Srinadi. Hanya dalam waktu sebulan, 42 mahasiswa mendaftar, 40 yang diterima dan memulai perkuliahan perdana pada September 2002.

Pengurus Yayasan WDS Denpasar bersama Rektor ITB STIKOM Bali Dr. Dadang Hermawan (paling kanan). Sumber Foto : Istimewa Putri Srinadi yang sejak awal menjadi Pembantu Ketua (PK) II Bidang Administrasi dan Keuangan STMIK STIKOM Bali, tampak bersemangat mengenang masa-masa sulit mereka jalani 20 tahun lalu. Karena karyawannya hanya bertiga, mereka bagi tugas. Kalau dua orang keluar sebarkan brosur, satu orang standby di kantor. “Biasanya saya dan bu Astiti sebarkan brosur, pake motor saya Astrea ceketer itu, bu Anita jaga kantor. Di kantor, kalau siapa yang datang duluan, dia yang buka pintu, nyapu dan rapikan ruangan. Kalau siapa yang pulang terakhir, dia yang tutup kantor sekalian bawa kunci. Jadi semuanya kami rangkap dengan senang hati,” kata Putri Srinadi masih dengan gelak tawa. “Kalau ingat yang dulu jadi geli sendiri, apalagi sampai ke Nusa Dua, Bukit Jimbaran sana pake ceketer. Tapi gak nyangka hasilnya seperti ini sekarang. Itulah nasib. Kita hanya bekerja, yang tentukan Di Atas Sana. Asalkan kita serius, pasti bisa,” ujarnya. Soal penghasilan mereka, karena baru merintis maka gaji tak seberapa. “Hanya 25 ribu dari pendaftaran mahasiswa,” kata Putu Srinadi, sambil terkekeh. Ni Made Astiti juga mengakui merintis ITB STIKOM Bali dari awal tanpa beban, walaupun semua pekerjaan mereka lakukan sendiri. “Kalau sebar brosur itu biasa, pasang spanduk promosi juga kami kerjakan sendiri dibantu Pak Komang Nama (supir, yang sekarang kerja di tempat lain). Bahkan ngecat ruangan kuliah juga kami lakukan sendiri,” kata Made Astiti yang kala itu menjadi PK IV Bidang Pemasaran hingga tahun 2009. Kemudian dipromosikan menjadi Direktur LPBA sampai tahun 2011, lalu kembali ke STIKOM Bali sebagai Kabag Pemasaran dan kini menjadi Direktur Kerja Sama, Pemasaran dan Humas. Ada sebuah pengalaman yang tidak bisa dilupakan Astiti ketika mereka sudah pindah di Teuku Umar. Saat itu, dia bersama Esron Oematan (kini staf Sarpras) hendak ke sebuah sekolah untuk promosi. Di Jalan Supratman, Denpasar, Esron mencoba menerobos lampu merah, padahal di depannya ada polisi. Saya bilang berhenti. Eh Esron malah berhenti di tengah jalan, saya turun, kabur ke pinggir dan Esron tancap gas. Setelah merasa aman, dia kembali cari saya, tapi saya sudah pergi degan bemo. Itu yang tak bisa saya lupa,” kata Astiti sambil tertawa. Ruko di Pulau Kawe itu dipakai bersama Lembaga Pendidikan Bali Asia (LPBA) dan Datayasa Komputer yang sudah berdiri duluan. Begitu juga fasilitas laboratorium dan komputer dimanfaatkan secara bersama. Tahun berikutnya (2003) mereka berani mengontrak ruko tiga lokal berlantai empat di Jl. Teuku Umar. Maklum tahun kedua itu jumlah mahasiswa baru membengkak menjadi 250 orang. Meski mahasiswa baru naik 6 kali lipat, biaya operasional juga makin besar. Karenanya ruko yang disewa selama 5 tahun, dibayar mencicil tiap tahun. “Saya bilang ke pemiliknya, saya kontrak 5 tahun, bayarnya per tahun Rp200 juta, tapi pemiliknya minta tiap tahun naik 25 juta. Ya udah, saya nekad aja ambil,” terang Dadang Hermawan. Meski pendapatan kampusnya pas-pasan, Dadang Hermawan bertekad, soal gaji karyawan tidak boleh telat. “Kalau besok gajian tapi uang masih kurang, sore ini pasti saya jual mobil. Biasanya sore-sore saya ke Gatot Subroto cari show room mobil untuk jual. Gak pake mobil dinas lagi. Kita di Pendidikan kan keuangan tidak tentu. Biasanya tahun ajaran baru, UAS, baru ada uang. Jadi setelah mahasiswa bayar, baru saya beli mobil lagi. Makanya tiap 6 bulan saya ganti mobil,” beber Dadang sambil terbahak-bahak. Di ruko style Bali itu, STIKOM Bali makin moncer. Tahun ketiga mahasiswa baru membengkak lagi menjadi 475 orang. Tahun keempat jumlah mahasiswa baru 750 orang. Di situlah Dadang mulai berpikir gimana caranya memiliki kampus sendiri. Awalnya seorang calo menawarkan tanah di Jl. Jaya Giri. Setelah membayar uang muka Rp200 juta, Dadang memasang spanduk bertuliskan ‘Di sini akan dibangun kampus STIKOM Bali’ barulah ketahuan kalau tanah itu milik orang lain. Akhirnya batal dan si calo tadi diproses secara hukum. Dadang kemudian mengincar lokasi yang lebih elit di Jl. Raya Puputan, Renon. Masalahnya, tanah seluas 40 are itu bernilai Rp16 miliar. Sedangkan STIKOM Bali hanya punya uang Rp1 miliar. Nah bermodalkan Rp1 miliar sebagai tanda jadi, Dadang nekad menandatangani perjanjian jual-beli tanah tersebut. “Jika dalam waktu enam bulan tidak dilunasi, maka uang muka tadi hilang. Setelah pontang panting dua bulan cari duit, bulan ketiga akhirnya berjodoh dengan BPD Bali. BPD yang lunasi, sertifikat sebagai jaminan,” ucapnya. Selanjutnya Dadang bergerak cepat membangun kampus STIKOM Bali. Tapi duitnya dari mana? Apalagi anggaran biaya sesuai maket gedung memerlukan dana Rp25 miliar. Lagi-lagi Dadang mendapat solusi jitu. Bank BNI 46 siap membiayai proyek gedung STIKOM Bali dengan jaminan sertifikat tanah (take over dari BPD) dan bangunan gedung STIKOM Bali. Ir. Wayan Swastika, MT, seorang dosen Fakultas Teknik Unud menawarkan diri membangun. “Setelah bangun 30 persen baru turun dana dari bank untuk bayar, begitu seterusnya sampai selesai. Dari dulu semuanya nekad saja. Toh bisa. Jadi, masalah dana sebenarnya bukan halangan untuk mengembangkan pendidikan,” kata Dadang. “Saya sudah buktikan,” lanjutnya, dengan wajah serius. Asal tahu saja, Ir. I Nyoman Swastika yang membangun gedung STIKOM Bali tadi, akhirnya ‘dirangkul’ masuk dalam Yayasan WDS Denpasar sebagai pengawas. Ketua Yayasan WDS Denpasar, Drs. Ida Bagus Dharmadiaksa, M.Si., Ak., menambahkan, untuk meyakinkan Nyoman Swastika agar mau membangun kampus tersebut, dia beberapa kali menemuinya sambil memperlihatkan data perkembangan mahasiswa baru yang terus melonjak dari tahun ke tahun. “Tapi kami tidak bayar seluruhnya, sebagian kami tawarkan dalam bentuk saham. Pak Nyoman setuju. Wah bagus nih. OK saya setuju, saya mau bangun,” kisah Dharmadiaksa. Pada saat bersamaan Manajemen STIKOM Bali juga mendirikan SMK TI Bali Global di Jl. Tukad Citarum, Denpasar sebagai ‘bahan baku’ alias calon mahasiswa STMIK STIKOM Bali. Kini di Bali berdiri 7 SMK TI Bali Global tersebar di Denpasar, Jimbaran, Dalung, Karangasem, Klungkung, Singaraja dan Abiansemal serta sebuah SMK Indonesia Global di Ponorogo, Jawa Timur. Salah satu kelebihan ITB STIKOM Bali adalah karena dikelola secara profesional oleh tim manajemen.  Sedangkan peran yayasan sebagai pengawas dan urusan pembinaan dari belakang. Tahun 2009 STMIK STIKOM Bali mulai menempati kampus megah berlantai empat di Jl. Raya Puputan No. 86 Niti Mandala, Renon, Denpasar. Jumlah mahasiswanya membengkak lagi menjadi 1.200 orang. Hutang di BNI lunas tahun 2012. Sejak berada di kawasan elit Niti Mandala, Renon, tiap tahun jumlah mahasiswa baru tak kurang dari 1.200 – 1.500 orang. Per Juli 2022, total mahasiswa tercatat 6.000 orang. Hingga Wisuda ke-29 jumlah alumninya mencapai 9.000 orang, tersebar di seluruh Indonesia hingga luar negeri. Pada 7 Mei 2019, STMIK STIKOM Bali resmi berubah bentuk menjadi Institut Teknologi dan Binsis (ITB) STIKOM Bali. Lalu pada 9 Juli 2019, Pengurus Yayasan WDS, Prof. Dr. I Made Bandem, MA., melantik Dr. Dadang Hermawan menjadi rektor. Tiga srikandi dibalik kisah sukses ITB STIKOM Bali kini punya jabatan mentereng. Dr. Ni Luh Putri Srinadi, SE., MM.Kom., sebagai Wakil Rektor II Bidang Administrasi, Keuangan dan Sumber Daya, Dra. Ni Made Astiti, MM.Kom., sebagai Direktur Kerja Sama, Pemasaran dan Humas, dan Putu Anita Diasuti menjadi salah satu Direktur salah satu unit bisnis STIKOM Bali Group. Saat ini ITB STIKOM Bali dengan 6.000 mahasiawa tersebar di tiga kampus. yakni ITB STIKOM Bali Renon, Jimbaran dan Abiansemal. Saat ini ITB STIKOM Bali memiliki dua fakultas yakni Fakultas Ilmu Komputer dengan tiga Program Studi (prodi): Prodi Sistem Komputer, Prodi Sistem Informasi, dan Prodi Teknologi Informasi. Ketiganya program S-1. Kemudian Fakultas satu lagi adalah Fakultas Bisnis dan Vokasi dengan dua Prodi, yakni Prodi Bisnis Digital (S-1) dan Prodi Manajemen Informatika (D-3). Hebatnya lagi ITB STIKOM Bali punya Program Dua Gelar Internasional untuk gelar Sarjana Komputer (S.Kom) dari ITB STIKOM Bali dan gelar Bachelor of information Technology (BIT) dari HELP University Kuala Lumpur. Juga ada Program Dua Gelar Nasional untuk gelar S.Kom dari ITB STIKOM Bali dan Sarjana Manajemen (SM) dari Binus University Jakarta atau Sarjana Desain (S.Ds) dari STT Bandung.(bpn) Read the full article

Fountaine Pajot wake up call

Due to the fact that Fountaine Pajot shaped as a partnership in 1976 as a racing dinghy boatbuilder, it speedy provided the cruising catamaran to a sceptical marketplace. simplest to peer it mass produce its growing variety to claim the identify of the arena's biggest catamaran builder: energy and sail.  2 stroke vs 4 stroke 

while the Astrea 42 is advanced as the alternative for the nine-12 months antique Lipari 41, there was so much improvement in catamaran hull and indoors design that it might be higher to explain this latest model as a reduce-down model of the bigger sister: Saona 47. The motives for this could come to be clear.

So, going through the old advertising maxim of 'beyond records isn't any indicator of present overall performance', does this trendy version sit down readily amongst its peers in the Fountaine Pajot saloon, via proving it is able to take catamaran layout a further step? using the 3 design short elements as markers of how it plays, allow us to take a look at every in flip. consolation when I think of comfort on a catamaran I think about hull-trip and, for that, hull layout is paramount. Given it's far a Berret Racopeau design then it can be assumed it is the latest thinking hull designers have on multihulls. there may be the marginally inverted sheer bow leading up to a quite excessive chine, in all likelihood there to break up the appearance of such high hull topsides, along side the 2 hull windows. This topside line leads again to a steep sloping aft sheer. The deckline has a adorable curve to it dropping lower at the stern to give it a racy look. A alternatively low peak within the cabin pinnacle maintains that racy appearance because it sits deep inside the bridgedeck. when status at the deck it is straightforward to look the quite bulbous ahead sections within the hulls, glaringly going to offer a roomy interior, however most of all selling that easy transition of water across the entire hull. it is a design practice i'm starting to see performing in monohulls as nicely. Above the waterline the internal line of the hulls widens dramatically because it proceeds aft below the bridgedeck. at the waterline this width is countered at the inside of the hulls with a low chine. i am guessing it additionally assists to break up the move waves, as the bridgedeck clearance looks low, however I could not make certain with out the measurement. The hull waterline does convey this fats width proper to the strict, which will become apparent while you word the scale of the aft sugar scoops. whilst we tok the yacht out for a check sail it became best on Sydney Harbour and the breezes steadfastly wanted to stay far from the bloodless and by no means reached over fifteen knots. The gusts that did hit near that mark showed the 42 footer was still a active female and will react. Going by way of its specifications although, this isn't always a performance catamaran. it is amongst the heaviest forty two foot cats going around but, having stated that, it nevertheless is going brief enough it's far a multihull after all; the bottom velocity set of rules claims this could still average nine knots over a 24 hour day. Plus the motive for all that weight may be observed in the hulls, that is the consolation advantage of proudly owning a Fountaine Pajot. allow's take a glance then at the greater creature comforts the Astrea 42 affords. Deck format is pretty trustworthy, because of the bulbous forward sections and maximum beam being to date forward the stroll along the facet decks is remarkably unencumbered by shrouds. pretty substantial for one of these small yacht. ahead of the cabin top is a adorable 3 to four seater cushioned lounge location with a deep properly for clean sitting. that is a right away replica of the large sister Saona forty seven and the cushions are banana lounge-style movable to ensure consolation in any postiion. The cabin pinnacle sits approximately a metre above the deck making get admission to to the growth and mainsail easy. All sheets and halyards run beneath tunnels on the cabin top and appear at the helm station. The helm station is properly-organised. A -seater behind the helm consists of an angled aspect so one person on watch can swivel round and stretch out as a day living room. In the front of the wheel is the paintings region for all the winches and jammers. Rope tails fall well into a huge rope bag and halyards can be coiled and tied off with covered tie-offs.  2 stroke vs 4 stroke on the inner port side of the station are steps up to the sun lounge beneath the growth, or all the way down to the aft deck. The sun front room without difficulty incorporates two humans and is articulated to allow sitting up or lying down, equal as the forward living room properly. The teak laid cockpit saloon floor matched the cushions on the tremendous seating: 3 throughout the aft beam, alongisde the ever-present barbecue; six across the massive saloon desk offset to port with the door into the cabin offset to starboard. All of those bench seats have stowage underneath. access to the water, as I referred to in advance, is easy with those huge hull sugar scoop sterns. In between the scoops is another useful addition introduced from the Saona: an electric soft elevate platform, pretty notable and, i would threat at a guess, after you had such a you'll in no way move lower back. The huge sliding door and galley window slide out of sight. when closed the engine noise drop become major from the sound deadening they provided. The galley is flawlessly located to provide the food for the large outdoor table, which negates the need for any other big desk within the cabin. that is why most catamaran brands now use the entire, hard bimini throughout the back deck, making the outdoor region the primary focal point of crew congregation. The U-form galley has a eleven/2 sink, a separate oven compartment on the bench and a 3-burner range. at the same time as I plenty choose a three-burner range to the usual , this one does no longer use the concept of a triangular orientation of the burners to permit 3 spherical pots to in shape at the range at the equal time. as an alternative it is in the form of an 'L' with the controls contained inside the stovetop. so, whilst it has three burners you truly should best cook dinner with  pots at a time. Galley storage maintains on the other side of the entrance threshhold with extra freezer/refrigerator space and lockers. All in all a serviceable kitchen space. Foward of the galley is the stairs to the port hull and ahead of this is the navigation station with radio, chartplotter and Fusion stereo machine. The table uses the ahead day front room as a seat. The switchboard and fuse panel are in the back of this station dealing with the stairs to the port hull. as with any catamarans there's plenty of flat bench space available with minimum fiddlework. Headroom is super and  of the forward home windows open up for appropriate airflow whilst at anchor. an extended centreline porthole inside the cabin head gives an wonderful view up the mast or to the celebrities when anchored. moving down into the hull cabins, our take a look at yacht became Astrea's Maestro model with three cabins and three heads. The complete starboard hull is the grasp cabin and that is in which those wonderfully-designed extensive beamed armas come into complete consolation mode. Centre part of the hull is open, includes full top wardrobes, a suitably-sized desk and chair and numerous garage options. Face aft to locate the substantial grasp mattress with smooth stroll-around, lots of hatches for light and air. however ahead you get the satisfactory indication of the benefit the ones bulbous bows deliver. the pinnacle is in a separate closed room towards the topsides and forward of that is a large vanity/shower room. it's far three metres lengthy and break up in two: inboard is the sink and cabinets and outboard is a full bathe recess. I suggest, severely, that is a huge area, you would be satisfied to have this in your private home as an en-suite. The port side arma has two equal length beds with a appropriate sized en-suite every. There are a extraordinary twelve unique head/shower layout alternatives among the 2 hulls. typical, this surely reaches the aimed-for consolation top rate in a 42 footer. easy crusing As with the emphasis on maximum yacht design these days, mono and multi, it's miles to make the yacht easy to sail, despite the fact that simply by means of two human beings. Like many multihulls the increase gooseneck is pretty low on the mast to facilitate hooking up the fathead mainsail and retrieving the main into the lazyjacks bag. The increase angles up from there, enough to allow Fountaine Pajot's preferred bulkhead helming function on the starboard aspect. As noted in advance, all control strains run again to the double seat guidance function; allowing each team to sit up there and manage the yacht or simply living room. The raised guidance station is open to the again deck for easy conversation, the steps are wide and house the liferaft at the back of for smooth deployment. The teak-slatted lowering platform among the sugar scoops is an smooth manner to do away with the traumatic davits. Fold out v-rollers sit down the hull of any smooth and the platform lowers under water stage for smooth release or retrieval. This additionally makes for an wonderful swim platform. As you'll anticipate from a Berret Racopeau layout, those hulls are slippery. At one of the heaviest forty two footers round, however, i'm no longer too sure if  22 kilowatt inboards is actually sufficient to offer appropriate gasoline economy on lengthy drives. there is a lot widespread consolation constructed into this yacht that the option to improve to large engines can be low-priced. Our take a look at yacht had certainly boosted to twin Volvo Penta 40 horsepower units and, with the ones big extensive sugar scoops, the engine rooms accommodate the extra length with room to burn. both motoring or crusing the Astrea forty two is a best performer.  2 stroke vs 4 stroke

Свитер-туника

http://zpdlo.com

Вязка односторонняя. Используется при вязании шапочек и как отделочная полоска. Количество петель кратное шести плюс две кромочные. Для образца набираем 26 петель и вяжем по схеме (рис. 144): 1-й и 5-й ряды - лицевые петли; 2-й и все последующие четные ряды - изнаночные петли; 3-й ряд - 3 петли (1,2 и 3-ю) снимаем на правую спицу и провязываем следующие 3 (4, 5 и 6-ю) лицевыми петлями. Левой спицей (с лицевой стороны) подхватываем 3 непровязанные (1, 2 и 3-ю), а правую вынимаем из всех 6 петель. После этого аккуратно собираем ею находящиеся за работой 3 провязанные петли, а затем вяжем 3 непровязанные лицевые петли и т. д. до конца ряда; 7-й ряд - в начале 3 лицевые, затем 3 петли (1,2 и 3-ю) снимаем на правую спицу и провязываем следующие 3 (4, 5 и 6-ю) лицевыми петлями. Левой спицей (с изнаночной стороны работы) подхватываем 3 непровязанные петли, а правую вынимаем из всех 6 петель и аккуратно собираем находящиеся перед спицей 3 провязанные петли. ЗйГШ Пп(?Вядаваем 3 лицевые петли (1,2 и 3-ю). В конце ряда 3 лицевые; 9-й ряд - повторяем узор с 1-го ряда.

Данный узор можно также вязать с помощью дополнительной спицы или булавки.

ОПИСАНИЕ ВЯЗАНИЯ ОТ Astrea

Объем бедер - у меня 96 см, буду рассказывать на своем примере Объем груди - 88 см Длина изделия - я буду делать 70 см Длина переда до талии - 42 см.

Я хочу, чтобы туника не обтягивала мои бедра, а была по попе свободной, потому сделаю прибавку по низу 4 см, тогда ширина переда внизу будет = (96 : 2) + 4 = 52 см Вычисляем количество петель, смотрим на образец с замерами: у нас с каждой стороны 5 лучиков с 5 изн = 3 смх5 = 15 см, 2 средних лучика с 2 изн = 2,7 см - всего полотно с лучиками займет 15*2 + 2,7 = 32,7 см, на изн гладь остается 19,3 см, округлим - 19 см, делим на 2 стороны - по 9,5 см. плотность изн глади (см рисунок - 12 : 5 = 2,4 п на 1 см тогда 9,5 см = 22,8 или 23 петли. Значит внизу: 23 изн глади, (2 лиц + 5 изн) * 5, 2лиц + 2 изн + 2 лиц, (5 изн + 2 лиц) * 5, 23 изн глади = 122 петли

Остальные 20 см разделяем условно на 4 части по 5 см = 15 рядов и будем тогда вязать так: 15 рядов лучики с 5 изн 15 рядов лучики с 4 изн 15 рядов лучики с 3 изн 15 рядов лучики с 2 изн

описание до талии:

Наб��рем:122 петли, вяжем резинкой 10 рядов, переходим к основному рисунку с лучиками. Ряды 1-38: 23 изн глади, (2 лиц + 5 изн) * 5, 2лиц + 2 изн + 2 лиц, (5 изн + 2 лиц) * 5, 23 изн глади = 122 петли Вяжем по рисунку всего 38 рядов (24+15) 39 ряд: между лучиками убавили по 1 петельке - дальше вяжем с 4 изн между лучиками 40-54: по рисунку 55 ряд: между лучиками убавили по 1 петельке - дальше вяжем с 3 изн между лучиками 56-70:по рисунку 71 ряд: между лучиками убавили по 1 петельке - дальше вяжем с 2 изн между лучиками 72-84:по рисунку 85 ряд: между лучиками убавили по 1 петельке - дальше вяжем с 1 изн между лучиками еще 1 ряд.(всего 86 рядов до плетенки)

Дальше начинается плетенка. ВербаЕ Вязала от низа , убавляла через каждые 20 рядов по 1 изнаночной петле, провязывала вместе изнаночной. Между двумя скрещенными лицевыми оставляла 1 изнаночную (нитки тонкие для плетенки) и вместо 4 рядов вязала 6, чтобы эта изнаночная не была полностью съедена. Еще, вместо 1 изнаночной между лучиками, когда начала заплетать оставила 2 изнаночные петли, а когда лицевые полоски шли в перекрещивание провязывала из 2-х 1 изнаночную петлю. В плетенке (скрытый текст) средняя изнаночная всегда была за работой. По краю дорожек прибавляла то количество петель, которое провязала вместе, чтобы сохранить ширину переда. Плюс от талии по краю вязания прибавляла в каждом 6 ряду до проймы по 1 петле, всего 20 петель, на талии было 88, у проймы стало 108 петель. На изображения с изнанки видно, мои прибавки и убавки. Мне хотелось, чтобы полоски плавно зашли в косички, на модели они имеют угол скоса.

Воротник. Набрала на 4 спицы по 36 воздушных петель. Связала 20 рядов жемчужной резинкой без убавок. затем убавляла в каждом 6 ряду по 2 петли: первую лицевую провязывала, затем из 4 петель провязывала 2: изнаночную перекидывала не провязанной, потом меняла местами лицевую и изнаночную (изнаночная за работой), перекидывала изнаночную обратно, две изнаночные провязывала вместе одной изнаночной, потом 2 лицевые вместе 1-ой лицевой. Когда на спицах осталось по 26 петель, провязала 10 рядов без убавки. Потом провязала 4 ряда лицевыми петлями, закрыла вязку. Нить оставила подлиннее ей потом пришивала планку к горловине. С обратной стороны (изнанка) набрала из протяжек равное количество петель на 4 спицы и провязала 4 ряда лицевыми, закрыла петли, нить так же подлиньше, на пришивание. Получил��я воротник с двойной планкой. Сначала пришила планку по лицу кетлевочным швом, потом пришила планку с изнанки, с изнанки надо пришивать аккуратно, чтобы шов не было видно с лица. У меня вязка жемчужная резинка, лицом она повернута во внутрь воротника, когда воротник узкий, приходится вязать лицо рисунка наполовину на лицо наполовину на изнанку. Чтобы не повторить мой ляп, нужно убавлять как в варежке с боков в начале спицы и в конце, а не как я все время в начале, убавки видно по середине воротника, но это только кто давно вяжет заметит, а остальные подумают так и должно быть. Удачных петелек :)
