Good morning everyone,
my name's Mercedes Simal.
I work as a researcher in the museum's department of sculpture
and the decorative arts.
I will be talking to you about one of the jewels of the collection.
As you know, this museum
not only has a magnificent collection of paintings
but also truly exceptional examples
of sculpture and the decorative arts.
Each work that we see in the museum has numerous stories associated with it.
Its story prior to entering
the Spanish royal collection
and then what has happened to it over the course of time.
In this case we are looking at one of the world's finest
inlaid hardstone table tops,
due to its size and the materials it is made with.
As is the top of this table: authentic jewels.
This technique of inlay, in other words, assembling different fragments
stones in this case,
to make decorations for covering a piece of furniture
is a technique known since the Egyptians,
which was disseminated by the Roman, particularly for the decoration of floors and walls.
However, it was not until the Renaissance
that it began to be habitual,
even though works of
this type remain exceptional.
Some would be made using marbles.
Marbles were referred to
as "pietre tennere" in Italian.
They are soft stones.
The unique nature of this table top, known as "Philip II's table top"
is due to its size
and the exceptional quality of the materials, which are hardstones and silicate minerals,
lapis lazuli, pieces of fluorite and jasper
around these three large agate panels.
There is also some marble.
These small white stones, which is extremely characteristic of Roman works,
referred to in the documentation as "white statuary marble".
These are extremely delicate objects.
Bear in mind that they were generally constructed
over a slate base
and the different pieces were joined to each other with pitch or resins,
but this table top weighs 800 kilos.
We know that the idea of giving it as a gift to Philip II
came from Cardinal Alessandrino in 1585.
It took two years for the table top to arrive in Spain.
It arrived at the port of Alicante.
There was a lot of expectation in Italy.
The Spanish ambassador in Genoa
thought that it would be for El Escorial,
which was Philip II's great building project.
But the Spanish Viceroy in Naples,
the father of the Count-Duke of Olivares,
was sure that it would go to Aranjuez,
another of Philip's favourite royal residences.
In fact, the table top remained in the Alcázar
where the King already had other hardstone tables,
some made in Spain
and others sent from Italy, also as diplomatic gifts,
given that, as I say, these are exceptional objects.
The table top was initially rather larger than we see today.
It had an African marble frieze that is now lost.
que actualmente ha perdido.
We also know that some of the stones, two of them,
had the heraldic coat-of-arms
of Cardinal Alessandrino
and that of his uncle the Pope carved on them,
so that every time Philip saw it
he would remember who had given it to him.
This was not a free gift, to put it that way.
During this period of history
it was habitual that these sumptuary gifts
were payment for facilitating appointments
or obtaining declarations
about territorial conflicts
between duchies or leaders of Italian territories.
The Museum has numerous examples
of how diplomatic representatives
and sovereigns of these states
constantly gave Philip II,
the most powerful monarch in Spain at that date,
paintings or sumptuous pieces of furniture
to decorate his palaces
and in the hope that he would resolve
these long-standing petitions.
As I said, these workshops started to be established in Rome
in the mid-16th century in Rome
in the area round the Forum
and would come to specialise
in producing hardstone table tops.
Only the tops, not the legs, the legs are a different matter.
In this case
the table has magnificent legs:
no less than the bronze lions
commissioned in Italy by Velázquez to decorate the Alcazár.
The abundant presence of antique materials in Rome
explains why these workshops established themselves there,
and all the principal monarchs of the day sent their artists there.
Working alongside each other
in these workshops were masters of sculpture
and stone-cutting masters,
some closer to jewellery than to other types of inlay.
As I said,
this is one of the first works
to have survived anywhere in the world
from this incipient period
around the mid-16th century.
Rome would become the most advanced city for work
of this type until the late 16th century
when Florence would take over
in a perfectly systematic manner
and with a splendid archive that has provided us
with enormous detail about is productions.
Nonetheless, the Roman pieces
are also excellent and exceptional,
partly because this was the moment when this taste flourished,
which was ultimately a homage to the world of antiquity.
It was also a display of magnificence
given that, as I said, these commissions
were only at the reach of a small minority.
It should be said that in the 16th century
Philip II's collection
was one of the most important of the day
as it brought together all these diplomatic gifts made to secure these positions,
which were sometimes granted and sometimes not,
but which certainly ensured that the Spanish royal collection
of this period and the collections
of the Prado in the present day
possess exceptional examples.
Thank you very much.

A POKEMON PLUSH FOR YOUR EARPHONES ! [ DIY ] - Duration: 8:03.
Hi guys ! I hope you are well ! We meet again today for a new DIY !
I'm going very soon to Japan, in April
And I want to realize a earphone winder
Because my earphone are always matted
When I put them next to my bed or when I travel
They're always matted
I'm tired of undoing the knots
I wanted to find a solution and I think to this little winder
And I didn't want to make any winder
You suggest me characters to make stuffed
This time it'll be for the winder. I decided to make...
Torchic !
So I realized 2 models : One for me
to bring it in my travels
and one for a contest
And we start now this Diy
by printing and cuting the shapes on the document that I have put in the description
I just draw the outline of the body of the Torchic in the orange felt
Then I cut the two shapes
I keep the first one because I have a lot of details to add
to make it looks like a Torchic
I cut the collar (cols) and I draw the shapes on the yellow felt
Then I cut the shapes
Then it's the big crest's turn (grosse crête)
I draw 2 shapes on the yellow felt
So I have 2 new shapes
Then the little crest one time on the orange felt
I superimpose it on one of the big crest
Then I cut the beak ont the yellow felt
be careful it's very precise so, please, take your time !
Then, This is eyes turn. 2 black rounds
and 2 smaller white rounds
I cut them until I get the perfect size
Now you have to assemble everything
Just like that
You can use fabric glue
But I prefer sewing, it's more solid
I start with the collar that I fix with some classic points
Then I finish my work with some knots
I do the same on the other side
It isn't a problem if the threads are apparents they'll be hiding later
Then I fix the little crest on the big one with a pin
And I sew both together to fix them on the body
When I finish, I remove the pin
and I fix the little crest with some points on the corners
Then I hide the apparents threads with the second big crest
that I sew on the back of the first one
This is the result
Then I fix the beak with 3 classics points
For the eyes it's more delicate because I'll fix the white and the black together
with one white point on the white part
and two black points on the black part
You can use glue if it's too complicated
When all the details are attached, I take the orange felt
to make the attachment
I draw the shape on the felt piece
I do it freehand but you have the model on the description, you can print it
Do it two times for two shapes
I use press stud to close
but you can use scratching or a simple button
I sew the first part of the press stud
on the Torchic's body at the level of the top of the tab
When it's fixed, I press the tab on the press stud
to make a bump at the place I will sew the second part of the press stud
Be careful of the direction when sewing
Then I fix the second tab on the first one with a festoon point because it's more beautiful
This is the result
I fix the tab to the body with the press stud
It's time to fix the back of the body
I sew all around the body with a festoon point
But I don't sew the bottom part because this is where I'm going to put the padding
When it's done, I put the foam inside the Torchic
to give relief
Then I close with a festoon point
taking the bottom of the tab on the sewing
It's done !
You don't need to remove the earphones to use it
You can remove a bit of length
it can stay like this
And so it won't knot any more
I also wanted to realize a Merriep earphone winder
I asked you to vote on twitter for the pokemon you want
But I didn't have the time, I didn't want to scamp it
So either it will be the object of another video,
or maybe I'll show you how to do it on an instagram story
I haven't decided
In all case, if you want to see other models
I can make another video
Tell me if you're interrested by a character
Pokemon or not
So I remind you that you can win this earphone winder
I do a little contest with all the modality on the description
Of course you have to suscribe on my channel to participate
and share my video on the social medias which I specified on the description
I hope you liked my video, I don't know what'll be the theme of the next video
I think I'll make a plush
like I did for Squirttle
So Don't hesitate to tell me
what character you want to see
I note everything on a little notebook
I don't say that everything will be realized because it's impossible
but if I like you're idea, I'll do it on a video
Don't forget to suscribe on my channel, let me a comment, a little blue thumb
You know the song
I'll see you soon for a new video
and I send you kiss !
You can suscribe, it's free !

Rise Of The Reds 1.87 Generals Zero Hour - Alexandr's Russia Campaign #1 - Duration: 28:42.
Mod - Rise Of The Reds 1.87
Addon 1 - Widescreen UI for Rise Of The Reds
Addon 2 - Custom Cursors from Command & Conquer 2013
Mappack - Alexandr's Fan Campaign for ROTR 1.87
Music - From Frank Klepacki
The first mission of the General Aleksandr campaign starts with a little difficulty twist.
Once per every 3 minutes there is a Nuclear Missile attack launched against the fairly basic player.
Your mission is to overcome the Chinese supremacy in the area and steal the Nukes.
To make the mission a little bit harder, the Chinese will send a quite big reinforcements against you after some time.
But lucky for you, their attack formation is clumsy and unorganised so don't worry about picking them one by one.
There are 3 hardcoded spots where Chinese will use the Nukes, simply avoid these places to don't have casualties.
The big disadvantage here is the lack of possibility to build any kind of Dozer so keep your buildings in shape.
Same goes with lack of the artillery units at your disposal - use lots of Tesla Tanks and Shock Troopers to fight against defences.
And watch out for the skies, there are some Han Gunships in the sky that can be troublesome without any proper antiair.
To steal the Nukes you must (afaik) capture the Breeder Reactor, Nuclear Missile and two Nuclear Bunkers.
Once you do this, you must transport the Nuke Trucks safely to your outpost, all of them.

Scamp Life: How the Biolite Stove Works - Duration: 2:53.
Hello there! I've got some fan-freakin'-tastic videos that I'm
working on right now of these nomads that I met at RTR, but they're taking me
a long time, they're very involved because they're gonna be great videos!
In the meantime, I would still like to do a video for you, so I'm gonna show you
simply how our wood-burning Biolite Stove works! A lot of you in the last video
liked barron talking, so we're gonna have Barron tell you how it works!
The Biolite converts wood into energy via a phenomenon called the Seebeck Effect
The Seebeck Effect works on the difference in temperature between two
different things. So, you have the probe that's in the fire and the heat sink
that's on the back of the fan and the difference in those two temperatures
somehow produces electricity.
Some of that electricity is then used by the fan
to pump more oxygen into the fire, burning up extra sediment in the air
which would otherwise become smoke. So it makes a hyper efficient fire.
The rest of the energy created the fan doesn't use is then put into the little lithium
battery on the back. You can use this to charge your phones, laptops*, or run lights or whatever.
This was our only source of energy beyond the car when we first started camping.
We would make tea or something and then plug our phones into the battery
as the fire burned and that's how we charged both of our phones when we were initially off-grid.
It comes with a lid which... we don't love all that much
because it lets out a lot of heat and it's not a very useful shape.
We'll normally just put a plate on top of it when we're cooking.
For the way that we live, the bio light is extremely handy. If I were going backpacking or something,
I don't know that I would bring it unless it were maybe a longer trip.
One cool thing if you did have it when you were backpacking is
that you could use it as an electricity generator, so you wouldn't have to have a
solar panel and an extra battery and everything, you could just have your
stove that also converts wood into electricity. So, if you're in a pinch you
can charge your phone or whatever you need. GoPros, that kind of thing.
We love Biolite and they're doing some awesome things for people in other countries.
They have lots of products that bring electricity to people
that wouldn't otherwise have it and the efficiency of their fires reduces
smoke inhalation, which is one of the leading causes of death in third-world countries.
So, we really believe in what they're doing and if you're gonna get
anything like this, you should get it from them!
Hope you like this video!
If you like our stuff, buy a sticker from Elsa and if you haven't yet check out my site,
it's normal2nomad.com
See ya in the next video, byeeee!

Archetypes in Kink: Concepts for Relationships - BDSM Basics #36 - Duration: 10:30.
so I recently sat down and read the big book of submission of volume 2 and one
of the themes within the book is that there are so many different ways to
submit so of course I got me thinking about all the different ways that one
can be dominant or submissive or a switch and so then of course I thought
of all of the different archetypes available within BDSM so today that's
what we're going to talk about
hi guys it's Morgan with BDSM relationships and education thank you
very much for checking out this video if you haven't done so already please don't
forget to subscribe to my channel you just have to click the button below and
don't forget to turn on the notification Bell and that way you'll know every time
I post a video I'm doing one video per week but I'm also trying to sneak in a
few little bonus videos so if you want to be able to catch those make sure that
you are subscribed and have your notifications turned on so like I said I
was reading this book and it really inspired this you know thinking about
archetypes know archetypes are something that I teach when I teach a class called
discovering dominance and so I wanted to share a little bit of that with you guys
now obviously in a classroom situation I have a lot more time and I can go into a
lot more detail but this is just to kind of get you thinking so I will throw it
out there that if you do want to check out any of my workshops you can check
out my website to see what my schedule is and if you want to read either any of
my books or the big book of submission then you can check out on my website I
have a little section books I love or books I recommend so you can check those
out and you'll find both my books and some of my favorite books by different
BDSM authors there so I want to talk about archetypes but first we have to
decide what is an archetype now there's a couple of different definitions for
the word and that really depends on the context in which it's used the context
that I'm using it is that it is a like an ideal a cultural ideal that can be
used within literature or art or even relationships and it is one of those
things that is so embarrassed that it becomes a symbol of those qualities so
an example of this is one of my personal favorite relationship styles which would
be the queen or a lady of lourdes and they're Knights so I had like this
particular relationship style because I like to obviously be in control in my
own early chips I am sort of the leader
I prefer that role it's more comfortable for me so within my relationship I lead
but I don't want somebody that is just going to blindly follow me and be
useless otherwise I want somebody who is you know powerful in their own right I
get a lot of joy out of knowing that I have power over somebody who is so
powerful themselves you will notice this for those of you who actually know me
and they probably would have noticed that I tend to date a lot of people that
are physically quite powerful I am partial to you know people that you know
are into weightlifting and powerlifting and all that kind of stuff
I'm also partial to people who play full-contact sports like rugby or MMA
all kinds of stuff like that so I do like the physically powerful and often
quite large folks for what I decide to date somebody I also try to make sure
that my partners all have skills and knowledge that I don't have because I
want to be able to get their input I want to be able to their feedback on
things and then I can make a decision so I don't want someone again who's just
going to blindly follow and I know that there are dominants out there who do
want someone who will simply be obedient and that's that and that's totally fine
you just have a different style of relationship you apply you subscribe to
a different archetype with in BDSM we can use these archetypes to express the
type of relationship we're looking for I think that they can also help people who
are struggling with in their own goals and who have a very sort of
stereotypical view of what BDSM is so I've seen this so many times with both
guys and and women who think that submissive men fit all fit a certain
mold where they are the sort of worthless worm type so they need to
enjoy humiliation they need to be less than they need
if you women as superior or you know whatever it is they need to you know be
I guess short and slight and have small penises and there's this whole list of
things that a man has to be in order to be submissive now I'm sure there's
people out there who would like all of those things but I you know that's not
what I'm into as you have seen when I shot videos with my boy he's he's way
bigger than me like seriously he's a foot taller and quite a bit heavier than
I am and you know he's quite powerful he works out at the gym all the time you
know like it's it's what I prefer but he certainly does not fit into that sort of
worthless worm stereotype of male submission so by talking about these
different archetypes we can help people see that there are different ways that
you can engage in a d/s relationship and I like that so another very very popular
archetype within BDSM is the Donny and baby girl archetype now this is a
completely different one than the the Queen and her Knight basically it is a
more sort of nurturing relationship where we look at okay well what is it
daddy a daddy is is nurturing and loving and he guides his submissive you know
there's there's all kinds of different qualities of a daddy that we all sort of
have in our minds and so when I say daddy baby girl you guys will get an
idea of a relationship style without me even having to explain it so that's
that's an archetype and that's why they are useful to us
the other great thing is that we can use these archetypes if we don't always have
the words to explain exactly what we want so I may have I struggle sometimes
explaining what I'm looking for in a partner but if I simply say I'm looking
for a knight because I you know that's who I'm who I'm I want I prefer to be
the the lady or the queen who is in charge and I need a knight by my side so
that gets a message across if I preferred a more nurturing relationship
I might express that that I met the John I'm just coming to join us
hey so the dog has come to join me I don't know if you can actually see him
in the bottom of the frame he's he's pretty tall and I'm not sure if it's
getting caught within this frame anyways if I was looking for a more nurturing
style of relationship that I could say I prefer to be a caregiver or mommy and
I'm looking for somebody that fits that role that complements mine so I'm going
to stop a couple of the different archetypes within VDS mmm relationships
and I'm curious to know which one is your favorite and what style of
relationship do you prefer so I've already mentioned the lady or the Queen
and her knight and of course that can work as a lord and his knight as well
the daddy and baby girl and of course we can swap the genders there and simply
have like a parental figure and a baby figure or a young figure you can also
have the lady or the Lord and the servant or Butler the handmaiden because
that is a different style from the lady and Knight archetype but it's somewhat
similar in that both of the dominant roles are similar but the submissive
roles are different there's of course the captain and first mate
the teacher and the students you know a jailer and their prisoner a
disciplinarian and the miscreants the priest and the priestess and the
Pentiums the god or the goddess and their
worshiper so of course you can pick you don't have to pick just one you can pick
multiple if there's different styles that sort of combine or you can create
your own like I said these are just a few of the common ones that I've found
so what are your preferred archetypes for relationships please leave me
you know answers in the comments if you'd like to join in on the
conversation oh I also wanted to throw in for those
of you who are big philosophy geeks like me another way of looking at these
archetypes is by thinking of Plato's allegory
I'm sorry not the allegory of the gate the cave but the idea of the forms and I
mean those two things are linked but think about the theory of the forms and
that is the idea that we have these pure forms if I say table we all have
something in our mind that says table that is the form of a table it is the
purest version of a table and it's something that exists in our minds I'm
not in the real world and so we are kind of going like the same type of thing
with these archetypes it is that ideal of a relationship that is universal that
we all understand they're also quite popular with certain branches of
psychology Jung really liked the idea of personality archetypes so that's another
thing that you can you know take a look at if it's something that interests you
anyways guys I'm gonna leave it there I just kind of wanted to get you thinking
a little bit about the styles of relationships that you are interested in
anyways thank you so much for checking out this video I'm gonna try not to trip
over the dog getting back to the camera and have a good one
I'll see you in the next video
you
