"The name "Totoro" comes from Mei mispronuncing (she has a tendency to do so, though it wasn't clear in the dub) the word "tororu", which is the Japanese word for "troll"

▶ WHAT IS EXPLORE?
"Explore is a Flickr feature with the intent of showing you 'some of the most awesome photos on Flickr.' Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness. The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore.
Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more. The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.
Is Explore a showcase for the top Flickr photographers? No. It's for photo viewers, not the photographers. It exists so that, at any moment, anyone who wants to view interesting photos can go to Explore and have a reasonable chance of seeing something interesting.
Does that imply that photographs not in Explore are uninteresting? Of course not. Many wonderful photos are uploaded to Flickr each day not selected for Explore. But, to serve its purpose, Explore only includes a small sampling of all of the photos on Flickr, showing photos from many different people to create a diverse selection."

O Club Mau Mau recebe a sétima noite QUERIDOS ANOS 80 no sábado, dia 28 de Julho, naquela que será mais uma celebração dos sons que fizeram a década dourada da pop.
«Resolvi fazer um questionário sobre a festa, de modo a que nada fique por saber sobre a melhor noite do Porto. Diz que é uma espécie de FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
1. Onde fica o Club Mau Mau?
O Club Mau Mau fica na Rua do Outeiro, que, por sua vez, se situa ao fundo da Rua da Restauração, do lado direito, mesmo a chegar ao rio Douro. É muito fácil lá chegar. Sair de lá é que pode tornar-se difícil, dependendo de como corra a noite, por isso vamos lá pôr a conduzir aquele amigo que só bebe sumos e água.
2. A que horas é aconselhável lá chegar?
A partir da meia-noite e meia, qualquer hora é uma boa hora para lá chegar. Podem ambientar-se nas calmas, dar uma vista de olhos pela casa, sentar-se a conversar ao som de Captain Of Her Heart dos Double ou Hunting High And Low dos A-ha...
3. Quanto é que vou pagar à entrada?
Para entrar nesta festa de cariz popular, mas com o leve toque elitista (sim, nós os oitentistas somos uma classe à parte, ok?), cada pessoa terá de desembolsar 500 paus. Como organização eficaz e sempre atenta à evolução da humanidade que somos, já previmos alternativa no caso de não conseguirem apresentar uma nota das antigas, por isso aceitam-se moedas da recente unidade monetária: 2 euros e meio. Se forem aos pares, são cinco euros. A questão dos trocos é sempre importante. Parecendo que não, facilita.
4. O consumo é independente da entrada?
Sim. Cerveja, águas e sumos custam 2 euros. Vodkas e wiskies, 5 euros.
5. Posso conhecer a organização da festa?
Claro que pode, nós não ferramos e prometemos tomar banho antes. O Ivo Teixeira é um dos DJs da noite, por isso, basta chegarem à cabina e perguntarem "És o Ivo?". Se ele disser que sim, é porque é ele. O Ivo é um mestre na nobre arte de manter a pista cheia. O Tiago Vasconcellos tem a cargo o departamento socio-cultural das festas, providenciando também apoio ao cliente a diversos níveis, desde a orientação geográfica a aconselhamento sentimental. Procurem um rapaz com um bronze assinalável, com ar de quem vos pode ajudar em tudo o que for preciso. O tarzanboy é um gajo que vai andar de liana em liana nos intervalos da dança, os quais, já agora, serão escassos, porque ele é mesmo um animal da pista. Ele é um gajo simpático, embora à primeira vista pareça um pouco frio. A sua timidez às vezes confunde-se com um certo distanciamento. Para além disso, adora falar dele mesmo na terceira pessoa.
6. É possível ouvir músicas de outras décadas?
Claro que não! Se isto é uma festa do Queridos Anos 80, é natural que só se ouça música dessa década. No entanto, como não somos nenhuns talibãs, é possível ouvir e dançar ao som de músicas que estão ali a bater de raspão nos eighties. Não será estranho ouvir-se um Video Killed The Radio Star (1979) ou um Freedom (1990). Tudo depende do estado de espírito do momento.
7. Quem é o responsável pelos magníficos flyers que a festa tem apresentado?
Este último foi realizado pela Teresa Vasconcellos e os cinco flyers das cinco primeiras festas foram obra da Susana Vasconcellos. Tanto uma como outra, profissionais do ofício. O talento, está bom de ver, está nos genes familiares.
Bom, espero ter respondido a algumas das vossas dúvidas. Se houve algo que ficou por esclarecer, façam o favor.»

Did you know: Fawns have an average of 294-306 spots? As you can see in the photo, they start in a row along each side of the spine. Fawns are born with spots because it's great at camouflaging them from predators like wolves, coyotes, and bears. They will lose their spots as they get older and don't rely on hiding anymore. They usually lose their spots around October when their winter coats start coming in. Have you ever stumbled upon a fawn in the woods and almost missed it from their camouflage?
The Perth Bell Tower is a landmark building not far from Elizabeth Quay on the Swan River near downtown Perth. An interesting looking building that has St Martin in the Fields, London, Bells. For the history of how these came to Perth check out the FAQs. The fountains surrounding the tower feature fences festooned with padlocks aka the river Seine. www.thebelltower.com.au/about/faqs/

Earlier this year, Flickr rebuilt the infrastructure that powers our beloved Explore page. Explore features about 500 exemplary images from across Flickr every day, highlighting photos that have caught the attention of the Flickr community. In rebuilding the tooling that powers Explore, we wanted to make sure it features a wide array of Flickr members, and that the images being highlighted represent great quality and community engagement.
Today, we want to share some exciting data on Explore and celebrate some impressive accolades with our community.
NEW
Why do I see photos with fewer faves or comments or views than mine on Explore?
The images featured in Explore aren’t necessarily the ones that gathered the most views, faves, or comments. We try to weigh in the quality of those actions over quantity. The timing of when you posted also plays a role.
Does adding my photo to groups help my chances of getting into Explore?
NO, but
===================>>
Adding your photos to on-topic groups is a great way to connect with other Flickr members interested in the same kind of photography that you do. It is also a great way to build community and interaction around your work, thus improving your chances of getting featured!

Who picks the images for the Explore showcase?
Selections for Explore are made by a math equation. This math equation (called an algorithm) calculates a score based on how many views, faves and comments an images gets over a period of time.
The better the score the higher an image gets placed in the Explore list. Faves are heavily weighted in the equation and are far more important than comments. This score is often referred to as the "interestingness" factor of an image

A website FAQ asks:
What is there to do at Redfish Lake?
Relax and enjoy the scenery! Rent a boat from the Marina to explore the lake on your own. Sunbathe on the sandy beach. Hike: there are plenty of trails around to lead you to gorgeous backcountry. Saddle up at the Redfish Corrals. Stop by the Redfish Lake Visitor Center. Eat a hearty meal in the restaurant. Sip a cocktail in the lounge. Gaze at the Milky Way in the crystal clear night sky. Fish a nearby stream.
While I did not do most of the leisurely stuff described above, I did get to gaze in wonderment at the Milky Way in a really dark sky area. I had wanted to shoot a panorama of tracked longer focal length shots for some time. A well known astrophotographer Eric Benedetti shoots spectacular stacked Milky Way panoramas. He also shoots them mostly in this area which gave me the motivation to try something similar. This was shot the night before the Great American Eclipse from the nearby Stanley Lake.
I used a star tracker to gather more star light than I could without a tracker. For the ground portion, the tracker was turned off. A total of 30 exposures were then stitched into a panorama. I used a 55mm lens which is more commonly used for portraits. Apples to apples, a longer lens gathers more light than a wide angle lens. (You can read about Clear Aperture here : www.clarkvision.com/articles/nightscapes/)
My biggest challenge with this panorama is blending the sky and ground parts like it would be in one large wide angle shot. Thanks to John Burge for the pointers. John shoots some fantastic longer length panos (85mm and above). Do check out his work..
The peaks which frame the lake at its south end are
· Mount Heyburn at 10,229 ft (3,118 m) on the Right
· Grand Mogul at 9,733 feet (2,967 m) on the left
