iFi Small Little Wonder by Apple Lover

What can I say, the nano iONE, it was love on the first sight...

Connected to iONE to my Harman Kardon GLA 55 and my MacBook 12 and it was a marriage made in heaven.

Computer integrated audio is poor and has been neglected for many years, so a DAC “digital audio converter” is a no brainer for any serious music lover, pair it with a good set of speakers and you will know what you have been loosing all those years.

The nano iOne is not on a parr with my iDSD but overall the sonic presentation is close enough. It is a tiny little impressive good looking piece of hardware, and has Bluetooth audio that transforms any set of speakers in great sounding wireless speakers, works very well with mobile devices, android or iOS. With a simple pairing process you are streaming audio to your wi-fi system and for this feature alone it is a win.

But when you connect this little thing by USB, as I did to my Mac Pro and Focal Solo 6 BE , this was when the iONE really impressed me, using Audirvana playing some high definition tracks made me say uau!!!. This is a very small box, the sound of the iONE made my speakers float at the first notes it produced, when I was listening to music I couldn’t stop thinking that my expectations were exceeded, this little thing does DSD256 and PCM 384, that’s very high resolution formats.

I could easily live with this iFi nano iONE as my main DAC, and the most and more loving option is that it gives a new life to my GLA 55 again, with wireless streaming music from my phones and iPad, also it is so small that I can take it with me and my MacBook everywhere I go if needed.

I can not recommend it more, and if you have or buy one, please let me know your thoughts.

إحساس أكثر من رائع أن تمد يدك فتجد من يصافحك بحب ..

وتفتح قلبك فتجد من ينصت إليك بصدق ..

وتغيب لحظة فتجد من يهفو إليك ويشتاق ..

والأروع من ذلك أن تكون أكثر حبا وصدقا وشوقا إلى من يتذكرك ..

Resonate Adelaide by PeterTea

Enchanting and almost other-worldly this nature at night time. While flowers may slumber, certain critters are at their most active, and moonlight can cast an eerie glow over plant life that makes the ordinary seem somehow extraordinary.

Add whiz-bang lighting, cutting-edge special effects and music – all courtesy of Canadian multi-media company Moment Factory – and the result is like nature on steroids.

Moment Factory is the company that brought the popular Light Cycles experience to the Botanic Garden during Illuminate Adelaide in 2021 and 2022, so expectations are understandably high for its new 1.7km night-time trail, Resonate, which creative director Gabriel Pontbriand says is “inspired by our human capacity for emotional and physical resonance with the environment”.

Unlike Light Cycles, which began at the Garden’s Ginkgo Gate, Resonate starts at the North Terrace entrance, where a noticeboard urges audiences to “awaken your senses, attune to nature”. A map highlights the six immersive experiences we will encounter across the self-guided walk: Beginnings, Transformations, Belonging, Winterings, Memories and Aliveness.

The first of these centres on a lake, where shards of light move above the water in a pattern choreographed to a pulsing soundtrack. They appear to emerge from the depths amid the hovering mist and reach into the sky before dissolving back into the water, eventually shooting back up like fireworks as the music intensifies.

Transformations, one of the standout installations, takes place under the canopies of the Moreton Bay figs along Murdoch Avenue. As visitors walk beneath the towering trees bathed in a kaleidoscope of changing colours, a cacophony of percussive music builds like a gathering storm, the surround sound enveloping us in its beats like a nightclub DJ. Created in collaboration with Montreal folk quartet The Barr Brothers, and fusing musical composition with a range of sound effects, the soundscape throughout Resonate is an integral part of the experience, enhancing its immersive quality.

Further along, the single path diverges into several different tracks, all of which weave through a garden of pink and blue and green glowing “flowers” dotted across the grass. Belonging is an ethereal kind of space with colourful projections drawing us to different locations to watch imagery that appears like effervescent bubbles rising up from undulating sands.

There is a decent walk between each installation, which could build anticipation or impatience, depending on your mindset. But no one could be disappointed when they come to Winterings, which transforms the Bicentennial Conservatory into a kind of infinite magic forest, with the edges of the glass building invisible as visitors make their way across the elevated walkway amid palms and other rainforest plants bathed in green and blue light.

Perceptions of space and depth dissolve as we are transfixed by beams reaching down from above like friendly aliens, with the ethereal music enhancing the transcendental experience in the conservatory. This is one space in Resonate you’ll be reluctant to leave

Further on, we encounter Memories, in which a large circle of chairs is arranged around a beacon of light that sways across the night sky. Here, visitors are encouraged to stop and “remember who still lights your way”, but it’s noticeable on this night that few people take the time to take a seat before moving on to the final experience, Aliveness. Here, an Afro-Celtic soundtrack plays as lights snake up a large tree like parasitic vines, bringing it to life with colours that dance across the trunk and branches in sync with the music. It’s a beautiful visual interpretation of sound, although it lacks the wow factor of the Palm House installation that marked the finale of Light Cycles.

It’s easy to become blasé about experiences such as this; audiences are conditioned to constantly expect more and more dramatic effects from multi-media events, and Resonate relies on a similar ethos and technology as Light Cycles, despite following a different trail. But for this reviewer, at least, the magic is just as strong.

The key to getting the most out of Resontate is to move slowly and spend sufficient time within the installations to fully absorb them and also appreciate the natural environment they seek to enhance. Enjoy the special effects, but also look beyond them: take in the reflections on the water, the earthy scent of the gardens, the glow of the moonlight, the underlying beauty of the night-time flora and fauna.

On leaving Resonate and walking past Illuminate Adelaide’s Base Camp food and beverage area in Rundle Park, we noticed a couple of people looking up into a tree. There, blithely washing itself on a branch and ignoring the humans below, was a tiny possum – a reminder, if any was needed, that nature at night is pretty cool all by itself.

Resonate is in the Adelaide Botanic Garden until July 30 as part of Illuminate Adelaide.from In daily.

Hard Times and Great Expectations press image 01 by Dave Lee

The press image for a short film adapted from Hull crime writer Nick Quantrill’s debut novel ‘Broken Dreams’.

Private Investigator Joe Geraghty meets a client at the Hull Pierhead, hoping to gather information on a missing person case he is investigating. Instead, he gets a lesson on the history of the waterfront and an ex-trawlerman’s views about the future of the city.

The film is by Dave Lee (director of much-praised Philip Larkin shorts ‘Here’ and ‘Bridge For The Living’) and narrated by Hull-born actor Paul Popplewell (‘Tyrannosaur’, ‘Black Mirror’).

The film was made for the Humber Mouth literary festival 2012 and is copyright Dave Lee (the film) and Nick Quantrill (the words). Please credit Dave Lee if you use this image. If you are using the image online you should include a trackback to this site: davelee1968.wordpress.com/

Exceeded Expectations by Erin Barclay

This 'Meet My Family' page was an additional page that students could take if they had finished all other classwork. This student exceeded my expectations because this was additional work and they included details like their animals and family members. The reason that Kenneth was on the ground was because they had died on the trail.

I didn't intend to do this as my 52 week, but i was already made up and had a dress on.

So many girls wake up and feel the need to look like someone else... its kinda sad.

I just roll outta bed and shower before I go to work, I couldn't be bothered caking on the makeup and then my eyes get itchy and I can't scratch them. So it's fail all around. Or at least in my eyes

p.s. sorry for the dirty mirror....i didnt realize it when i was taking these =-0

Lady expectations by Pixtory App

Arms hairy,

Legs too.

Alas! God forbid!

A lady like yourself?

Ashamed, aren’t you?

How dare you demand

To not want to be plucked,

Pulled,

Pinched?

Don’t you enjoy

The redness that lingers long after?

The tears that well up in your eyes?

Don’t you enjoy

Walking out,

Like a figure of

Porcelain perfection,

Like you weren’t just

Biting your lip in pain,

Holding back a scream?

Listen, love,

Of course you’re beautiful

But only when

Changed,

Twisted,

Forced,

Into their ideas of perfection.

My darling, please, body hair

Is a man’s thing.

A lady like yourself?

It is your job to be

Thin,

Sweet,

Delicate,

Polite,

Lovely,

Motherly,

Hairless;

Perfect.

It is not that hard.

Is it?

START: Dunshaughlin 10KM 2015 by Peter Mooney

This is a photograph from the start of the 36th Michael Manning Memorial "Dunshaughlin 10KM" Road Race and Fun Run which took place in Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, Ireland on Saturday 20th June 2015 at 19:30. This race is widely acknowledged within the Irish running community as one of the best races in Ireland. While being very well attended and competitive it is also one of the oldest 10KM races in Ireland. The numbers for this race have exceeded expectations year on year for the past number of years. In 2008 a record field of 306 took to the start line but by 2012 this number had more than doubled with 647 runners taking part. The starting numbers in 2013 topped this again at 668. Last year, 2014, the numbers rocketed to a new record of 883. This year 862 finished the race showing that the race continues to attract very substantial crowds. This year, as in previous years, the race attracted runners from not just all of Leinster but from the four corners of Ireland. Who knows but this race could reach 1,000 entrants next year. The work of the organising committee must be commended on making this event possible. The Dunshaughlin 10KM has earned it's place at the top of the pedestal of Irish running through the sheer hard work of Dunshaughlin AC over the years. Road race events do not survive on their own. There must be dedication, hard work and a development vision amongst the committee and the host club. Well done to all.

We have an extensive set of photographs from the race tonight taken at the 1 mile mark. The full set is available at: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157654432568258

Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs

We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?

The explaination is very simple.

Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.

Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
