7 Wonders of India: Thanjavur Chola Temple
Located in Tamil Nadu, the Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur was built by the great ruler Rajaraja Chola of the Chola dynasty. The 10th century AD site is an example of Dravidian temple architecture. The central temple called the Periya Koyil, or big temple, stands inside a fort whose walls were built later on in the 16th century. The Great Living Chola Temples consist of the 11th century Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur, the 11th century Brihadisvara temple at Gangaikondacholisvaram, and the 12th century Airavateswara temple at Darasuram. Temple consists of the garbhagriha, ardhamandapa, mahamandapa and mukhamandapa and aligned on the east- west axis. This site is recognised by UNESCO.

Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Intro Sequence
In the 11th century, monarchies weakened and the local feudal lords grew stronger. The first knights simply protected their lord's domains, but with the reforms of late 11th century, knights also protected the peace. They fought against heresy in the name of God. One company of knights was said to be invincible due to two men: Leon Belmont, a baron who feared nothing and was a masterful warrior. And his most trusted long-time friend, Mathias Cronqvist - a genius tactician whose education made him an exception in a largely illiterate society.

The Crwth
Paul 'scruffy' Martin tells the story of The crwth which is an archaic stringed musical instrument, associated particularly with Welsh music, although once widely-played in Europe. A variety of string instruments so designated are thought to have been played in Wales since Roman times at least. Continuous, clear records of the use of crwth to denote an instrument of the lyre (or the Byzantine bowed lyre) class date from the 11th century Medieval instruments somewhat resembling the crwth appear in pictures (first in Continental Europe) as far back as the 11th century, shortly after bowing was first known in the West. In Wales, the crwth long took second place to the harp in the musical hierarchy.

Shri Vidya
www.srividyasadhana.com Shri Vidya The Shri Vidya is a Tantric tradition of Shaktas. It maintains a monistic metaphysics, that ultimately there is only one reality in the cosmos, the reality of consciousness identified with the Goddess Tripurasundari. Tripurasundari, a tantric form of Shri/Lakshmi, is manifested in her mantra (called the shri vidya) and in her sacred diagram of nine intersecting triangles within a circle (the shri cakra). The Shri Vidya devotee seeks for liberation from the cycle of reincarnation (samsara) by realising his identity with the Goddess. The Shri Vidya goes back to the 10th or 11th century and is still a thriving tradition in south India. Its origins lie in the non-dualistic traditions of Kashmir Shaivism, though the tradition traces its own line of gurus back to Shankara (788-820 CE), the famous Advaita Vedantin. Indeed, because of this linkage to orthodoxy, the tradition has lost much of its Tantric character. But the origins of the Shri Vidya are undoubtedly within Tantrism, specifically in the distinction in the Shakta Tantras between those of the Kalikula and those of the Shrikula. The Shri Vidya develops from the texts of the Shrikula. Among these, of particular importance is the Yoginihrdaya dated to the 11th century. There is a tradition of independent texts and commentaries, particularly noteworthy is Lakshmidhara (17th-18th centuries) who wrote a commentary on the Yoginihrdaya. The Shri Vidya has aligned itself with brahmanical or ...

Touched by a Gypsy - Rom
Because recorded history of the Roma prior to their first documented appearances in Europe in the early 15th century is non-existent, there has been much debate as to their origins and early migration. Based on linguistic evidence (the similarity of the Romany language to Hindi, Panjabi, and related languages of Northern India) and anthropological evidence (body habitus and ABO blood group distributions closely approximating those of the warrior classes of northern India), there is now a clear consensus of opinion that the modern day Roma of the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the Americas originated in Northwestern India. There is also a general consensus regarding the approximate timing of their emigration, or at least the bulk of it if you believe in more than one wave of emigration - ie in the 11th century. The route(s) and even the number(s) of emigrations are less well agreed upon, although this too is becoming clearer. Some allude to at least several waves of emigration from northern India. There is a persistent belief that several migrations took place between the 10th and 13th centuries, with the first potential migration identified going back to the 5th century. Often quoted and perpetuated is the story of the receipt by Persian monarch, Behram Gour, of 12000 musicians (called Zott, arabicized from Jatt - ancestors of the modern Persian Luris or Lulis) from an Indian king. This story is reported in both Pott's introduction quoting Firdousi and confirmed by ...

Commercial " Albrechtsburg Castle " (English Version)
The Albrechtsburg in Meissen, the cradle of Saxony. In 929 King Heinrich I of Germany laid the foundations with the construction of a defensive wooden fortification. During the middle ages the castle hill was the most important residence of the Margraves of Meissen. However the area was divided between burgrave and bishop. At the end of the 11th century the most powerful rulers in central Germany were the Wettin family. In 1471 two brothers, Elector Ernst and Duke Albrecht, ordered the construction of the first residential castle in Germany. The master craftsman Arnold von Westfalen conceived a new type of stylistic vocabulary for the building. Large arched windows were placed between the wall pillars. This window and the cell vaulting became the hallmark of late gothic style in Saxony. The castle was designed and built as a place for holding court, for representational purposes and as an administrative centre. The private apartments with living rooms, bedrooms and toilets can still be seen today. After the discovery of European porcelain in 1710, Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, ordered production to be housed in the Albrechtsburg in Meissen.Manufacture of porcelain was carried out in the gothic rooms for more than 150 years. These rooms with murals portraying a romanticized 19th century view of the history of Saxony and the Wettin dynasty are full of drama, symbol and narrative power. __________________ we´re only had one day for shooting the film. not enough ...

Eurovision 2012 Welcome To Baku
Baku or Baky (Baki), capital and largest city of Azerbaijan. The population is 4000 000. The city is close to major petroleum fields near the border with Iran, and oil refining is its chief industry. Petroleum was extracted in the Baku region as early as the 8th century. The first historical reference to Baku dates from AD 885, although archaeological evidence indicates a settlement there several centuries before By the 11th century AD, Baku was in the possession of the Shirvan-Shahs, who made it their capital in the 12th century, although for a period in the 13th and 14th centuries it came under the sway of the Mongols. In 1723 Peter I the Great captured Baku, but it was returned to Persia in 1735; Russia captured the town finally in 1806. After the Soviet victory over the republic, the Transcaucasian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic was declared in 1922, with Baku as its capital. Baku served as the capital of the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic from 1920 to 1922 and from 1936 to 1991. In 1991 Azerbaijan became an independent republic (See Azerbaijan Chronology). The core of present-day Baku is the old town, or fortress, of Icheri-Shekher. Most of the walls, strengthened after the Russian conquest in 1806, survive, as does the 90-ft (27-m) tower of Kyz-Kalasy (Maiden's Tower, 12th century). The old town is highly picturesque, with its maze of narrow alleys and ancient buildings. These include the palace of the Shirvan-Shahs, now a museum, the oldest part of which ...

Tillakaratne Dilshan (160 not out off 165 balls) smashed his 11th century in ODIs, his fourth against India at Hobart. Dilshan thus equalled his highest score in ODIs. In the Rajkot ODI against India on December 15, 2009, the Lankan opener had made exactly 160 off 124 balls. He is the only batsman to register two innings of 150 or more in a losing cause. Lanka lost to India by 7 wickets in the CB Series.

FontCast #12 — Damon Styer
Living and working in San Francisco, FontShop.com’s hometown, one is immediately aware of hand-painted signs — whether it’s the colorful Spanish-language brushwork of the Mission District or the mid-century marquees, liquor stores, and florists of the East and South Bay. There was a time when every sign was made by hand, and most of them were painted. Now, in an era of computers and vinyl, the craft is sadly rare. Fortunately there are still a few bright spots, like New Bohemia Signs http://www.newbohemiasigns.com, where the tradition is carried on to create new markers for the next generation of city dwellers.
We visited proprietor Damon Styer at his shop on 11th in SOMA and followed him to a job up the street. He describes the “muscle memory” that drives such quick and legible, yet beautifully imperfect work.
Styer’s designs show how even digital fonts can be a model for hand-painted letters, just as hand-painted letters inspired many digital fonts. Here are just a few examples: http://www.fontshop.com/fontlist/genres/handmade_signs/

Lahore Lahore Aye
Lahore is the capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the second largest city in Pakistan after Karachi. Historically the main city of the undivided Punjab,[3] it is often called the Garden of Mughals because of its rich Mughal heritage. It successively served as the capital of the empires of the Shahi kingdoms in the 11th century, the Ghaznavids in the 12th century, the Ghurid State in the 12th and 13th century, the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, the Sikh Empire in the early 19th century, and it was the capital of the Punjab region under the British Raj in the mid 19th and early 20th century. Mughal structures such as the Badshahi Mosque, the Lahore Fort, Shalimar Gardens, and the mausolea of Jehangir and Nur Jehan are popular tourist attractions for the city. Lahore is also home to many British colonial structures built in the Mughal-Gothic style, such as the Lahore High Court, the General Post Office (GPO), the Lahore Museum, and many older universities including the University of the Punjab. Lahore is often referred to as the cultural heart of Pakistan, as it is the center of Pakistani arts, films and intelligentsia.

Easter Sunday Sequence: Victimae Paschali Laudes
Victimae paschali laudes immolent Christiani. Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri Reconciliavit peccatores. Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando, Dux vitae mortuus, regnat vivus. Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via? Sepulcrum Christi viventis, Et gloriam vidi resurgentis: Angelicos testes, sudarium et vestes. Surrexit Christus spes mea: Praecedet vos in Galilaeam. Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: Tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluia. Victimae Paschali is usually attributed to Wipo of Burgundy (1039), chaplain of the German Emperor Conrad II in the 11th century. It has also been attributed to Notker Balbulus (10th century) and Adam of St. Victor (13th century). Its text was also set to different music by many Renaissance and Baroque composers, including Busnois, Josquin, Lassus, Willaert, Hans Buchner, Palestrina, Byrd, Perosi, and Fernando de las Infantas. Lutheran chorales derived from Victimae Paschali Laudes include Christ ist erstanden and Christ lag in Todesbanden. During the Middle Ages there were many Sequences in use, but the Council of Trent abolished all but a few. In the Missal of Pius V (1570) the number of sequences for the entire Roman Rite was reduced to four: Victimae paschali laudes (11th century) for Easter, Veni Sancte Spiritus for Pentecost (12th century), Lauda Sion Salvatorem (c.1264) for Corpus Christi, and Dies Irae (13th century) for All Souls and in Masses for the Dead.

Perished nations 2
Saba, built in southern Arabia in the 11th century BC, was a great civilization. The Qur'an relates the story of the Queen of Saba and the Prophet Sulayman in considerable detail. However, there is another story in the Qur'an regarding this people, who appear before us in a violent act of destruction. The oldest texts to refer to the People of Saba are the annual war chronicles from the time of the Assyrian King Sargon II. According to these inscriptions, Sargon mentions Saba as one of the states that pays tribute to him. This record is the oldest text giving firm information about the state of Saba. Ancient texts that speak of the people of Saba say that like the Phoenicians they were a state that engaged in wide commercial activities, and that some of the most important trade routes in northern Arabia were in their hands. The Sabaeans were known in history as a civilized people. The inscriptions of the Sabaean rulers frequently speak of "restoring," "endowing," and "building." The Ma'rib Dam, the ruins of which have survived down to the present day, is a major indication of Sabaean technology. Thanks to that dam, a bright green world was built in the middle of the desert. The capital, that benefited from the dam, was Ma'rib, which had grown wealthy because of its many geographical advantages. The capital stood close by the Adhanah River. The Sabaeans made use of this and built a dam here as they were constructing their civilization and began irrigating the area ...
