Perleman's Content Strategy Tip : Gotta Respect the Queen

It's been around a few years but I haven't quite latched on to BuzzFeed craze (if it is a craze).  But it may be a powerful tool according to Jonathan Pereleman (head of BuzzFeed).  Besides, I like when people figure out a way to insert a Queen in the game plan.  😍


Although I don't know how to play chess, I do know the queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess.  Somehow the idea of that is very appealing to me.  I can't explain why.  I'm not really a power-monger.  I believe it's because the queen is a woman that even though she's called "powerful", her power (or strength) is in her compassion and gentleness, like Queen Esther.  That's a generalization, of course.  Some women who get to reign can be real bloody heifers, like Jezebel and her daughter, Athaliah!

Regardless of whether or not you can understand my flawless logic, I'm sharing and keeping this video link for education and reference.

Good Fortune: Okyo's Cranes Now on View | Unframed (Reblog)

Good fortune and longevity? Every culture should and probably does have something that symbolizes this. In Japan it's the crane. Would be interesting to research the symbols of other countries. Or ... ??? Maybe we could ask Robert Langdon. :) Jokes aside, click the link because this artwork is exquisite!

 

" ... Maruyama Okyo (1733–95), a painter who revolutionized the practice and taught or influenced generations of Japanese painters."

(NOTE: At the time of the posting the paintings were on exhibit; not at the time of this reblogging.)



The Okyo artwork motivated me to search for more pictures, photos, and illustrations of cranes. Found this beautiful photograph of Grey Crowned Cranes and wanted to share it.
