Q marks the spot – Treasure Map 103 (March 2017)

Sacred Treasure

• Phil Whittall is on a roll with some good posts recently – this is a very interesting on about the early church and their handling of child sexual abuse
• This looks like an important book: Marcus Paul’s The Evil That Men Do reviewed
• John Sutherland is a remarkable individual – a senior police officer, who has battled with depression and is a Christian – this is a great post – thoroughly recommend following his blog.
• A little compilation of links for the late stats genius Hans Rosling

Topical Treasure

• Neil Postman’s son – My dad predicted Drumpf. SPOT ON
• Another take on Drumpf’s media strategy – “darkly brilliant.”
• Arabic words explained with illustrations of their literal meanings
• This is definitely NSFW and quite disturbing – but it is an ingenious and courageous way of highlighting an aspect of violence against women (a topic covered a lot recently on this blog). 19-year old Emma Krenzer shows who has touched where on her body after she had been sexually assaulted.
• Really shocked by this – it’s SO SOON after it finished but this is what’s happened to Rio’s Olympic Facilities – is it all worth it?

Quirky Treasure

• Using architectural sketches to illustrate mental illnesses – Federico Babino is a genius who has used his skills for a whole range of different themes. This is fascinating
• Beautiful – the first ever photos of snowflakes from 1885
• A moral here: it takes vision to see what something ordinary and even ugly can become – an architect transforms a cement factory into a castle home
• A VERY DESCRIPT MAN – a poetic work of genius by J H Parker
• Incredible playable organ made entirely out of paper and cardboard!
• Amazing HD video of Iceland under Full Moon from O Z Z O Photography
