The Versatile Blogger Award: the Rules

France, Montesquieu, Nomination, Pascal, Publishers, Versatile Blogger

versatileblogger111I was nominated for this award by tuttacronaca on 28 January 2013. “Versatile” is a word people have often used to describe me.  I have taught many subjects.  I therefore became  a “versatile” teacher.  As for my students, if I mentioned Montaigne and Montesquieu when teaching Pascal, they thought I was “jumping around.”  I wasn’t.  All three wrote about the relativity of laws.

I thank tuttacronaca most sincerely.  He is an extremely versatile blogger.  In fact so are most of my readers.  They read my posts despite the diversity of subjects.  Diversity was Jean de La Fontaine‘s motto.

Choosing nominees is not easy.  For instance, two of my nominees for the Versatile Blogger could have been Sunshine award nominees.  And two of my Sunshine Award nominees could have been Versatile Blogger nominees.  But most of my Sunshine award nominees are versatile bloggers and vice versa.

Nominating a WordPress colleague for an award is a way of telling that colleague that I enjoy his or her posts.  I simply wish I could have nominated more of my WordPress colleagues.

There are rules

I apologize.  I forgot to provide the rules.

First, you must link back to me. You may do this by writing a comment when you receive this post.

Second, You must reveal seven facts about yourself.

Third, You must nominate ten other blogs.

My nominees are:

  • Clanmother http://clanmother.com/
  • ABC of Spirit Talk http://abcofspiritalk.wordpress.com/
  • George b. http://euzicasa.wordpress.com/
  • Jueseppi B. http://theobamacrat.com/
  • Sherene Schmidtler http://printsensephotography.com/
  • David Kanigan Lead.Learn.Live. http://davidkanigan.com/
  • Becoming Madame http://becomingmadame.wordpress.com/
  • AshiAkira http://ashiakira.wordpress.com/
  • Nitin Vaghela http://remediesforhealth.wordpress.com/
  • Fiammisday http://fiammisday.com/

About me

  1. In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the education of little children.
  2. Facts are essential, but my main goal as a teacher was to encourage students to widen their horizon and see the many facets of subjects we were discussing.
  3. Living in France had a permanent influence on the manner I dress, cook, live and think.
  4. I have had fine friendships with exceptional men.
  5. I fear extremists.
  6. I am a pianist and an artist, which may demonstrate versatility.
  7. My chief cause is peace.

I love you all.

composer: Joseph Haydn  (31 March 1732 – 31 May 1809)
piece:  Serenade

Peter Paul Rubens (28 June 1577 – 30 May 1640)

Peter Paul Rubens, Portrait of a Young Girl, 1615-16
 

One can no longer embed the video featuring Rubens pictures.  However, one can click on the link I have put at the bottom of this page.  Just click on Peter Paul Rubens.

It is such a beautiful presentation.  A gift from God to us mortals.

The music is Vivaldi’s music, his Concerto for Two Flutes, Op. 47, No. 2, Largo.  Vivaldi was a priest who had red hair: he was the Red Priest.  The largo.  Usually the second movement of a concerto is a slow tempo.  Here we have a largo, which is a slow tempo.  The third or last movement has a faster tempo.  The musicians who are performing Vivaldi’s music are the Arcangelos Chamber Ensemble and the video was assembled to help people concentrate.

Concentrate.  For some, maybe.  But not quite if you go into a spell of ecstasy because the music is heavenly.  Music is very powerful and can therefore be therapeutic, etc.  I concentrate, but on the music and the pictures.

The fusion of art and music in the privacy of one’s home is one of the internet’s finest features.

As a former university teacher, I enjoy preparing informative blogs.  It takes time and effort, especially when you have problems operating machines.  I used to leave the doors to my house unlocked for fear I would not be able to get back in.  Keys do not always work very well.  So think of me using a computer.

The effort.  Do not worry.  What about those persons who cannot afford to attend a university or those persons, sometimes older persons, who want to remember.

Enjoy.
