To take this shot was a little exhausting. It took me a while to create a nice look of different light forms...something like...100 pictures later .....
This picture has no mainpulation at all, just the frame around it.
Maybe someone can give me some critics about the picture. I know, it's not perfect, but it's a beginning for creativity
Enjoy!
Shape is an area enclosed by a line. It visually describes an object. It is two-dimensional with height and width. Shapes can be geometric with straight edges and angels, such as squares, rectangles, or triangles or circles; or they can be organic with irregular and curvilinear lines. Organic shapes are found in nature-seashells, flower petals, insects, animals, people!
Form looks like a three-dimensional shape. The object looks as if it has height, width and depth. Artists use shading to create the illusion of form. The shading indicates depth by creating shadows.
Now it's your turn to create shapes and forms.
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars.[citation needed] They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa.[citation needed] Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height.[citation needed] Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
ETYMOLOGY
The name rose comes from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
BOTANY
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from Southeast Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the dog rose (Rosa canina) and rugosa rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
The sharp growths along a rose stem, though commonly called "thorns", are technically prickles, outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem), unlike true thorns, which are modified stems. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.
EVOLUTION
About 50 million years ago, the first rose in the Americas were found in modern-day Colorado in the United States. Today's garden roses come from 18th-century China. Among the old Chinese garden roses, the Old Blush group is the most primitive, while newer groups are the most diverse.
SPECIES
The genus Rosa is composed of 140-180 species and divided into four subgenera:
Hulthemia (formerly Simplicifoliae, meaning "with single leaves") containing two species from southwest Asia, Rosa persica and Rosa berberifolia, which are the only roses without compound leaves or stipules.
Hesperrhodos (from the Greek for "western rose") contains Rosa minutifolia and Rosa stellata, from North America.
Platyrhodon (from the Greek for "flaky rose", referring to flaky bark) with one species from east Asia, Rosa roxburghii (also known as the chestnut rose).
Rosa (the type subgenus, sometimes incorrectly called Eurosa) containing all the other roses. This subgenus is subdivided into 11 sections.
Banksianae – white and yellow flowered roses from China.
Bracteatae – three species, two from China and one from India.
Caninae – pink and white flowered species from Asia, Europe and North Africa.
Carolinae – white, pink, and bright pink flowered species all from North America.
Chinensis – white, pink, yellow, red and mixed-colour roses from China and Burma.
Gallicanae – pink to crimson and striped flowered roses from western Asia and Europe.
Gymnocarpae – one species in western North America (Rosa gymnocarpa), others in east Asia.
Laevigatae – a single white flowered species from China.
Pimpinellifoliae – white, pink, bright yellow, mauve and striped roses from Asia and Europe.
Rosa (syn. sect. Cinnamomeae) – white, pink, lilac, mulberry and red roses from everywhere but North Africa.
Synstylae – white, pink, and crimson flowered roses from all areas.
USES
Roses are best known as ornamental plants grown for their flowers in the garden and sometimes indoors. They have been also used for commercial perfumery and commercial cut flower crops. Some are used as landscape plants, for hedging and for other utilitarian purposes such as game cover and slope stabilization.
ORNAMENTAL PLANTS
The majority of ornamental roses are hybrids that were bred for their flowers. A few, mostly species roses are grown for attractive or scented foliage (such as Rosa glauca and Rosa rubiginosa), ornamental thorns (such as Rosa sericea) or for their showy fruit (such as Rosa moyesii).
Ornamental roses have been cultivated for millennia, with the earliest known cultivation known to date from at least 500 BC in Mediterranean countries, Persia, and China. It is estimated that 30 to 35 thousand rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use as flowering plants. Most are double-flowered with many or all of the stamens having morphed into additional petals.
In the early 19th century the Empress Josephine of France patronized the development of rose breeding at her gardens at Malmaison. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England.
CUT FLOWERS
Roses are a popular crop for both domestic and commercial cut flowers. Generally they are harvested and cut when in bud, and held in refrigerated conditions until ready for display at their point of sale.
In temperate climates, cut roses are often grown in greenhouses, and in warmer countries they may also be grown under cover in order to ensure that the flowers are not damaged by weather and that pest and disease control can be carried out effectively. Significant quantities are grown in some tropical countries, and these are shipped by air to markets across the world.
Some kind of roses are artificially coloured using dyed water, like rainbow roses.
PERFUME
Rose perfumes are made from rose oil (also called attar of roses), which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam distilling the crushed petals of roses. An associated product is rose water which is used for cooking, cosmetics, medicine and religious practices. The production technique originated in Persia and then spread through Arabia and India, and more recently into eastern Europe. In Bulgaria, Iran and Germany, damask roses (Rosa × damascena 'Trigintipetala') are used. In other parts of the world Rosa × centifolia is commonly used. The oil is transparent pale yellow or yellow-grey in colour. 'Rose Absolute' is solvent-extracted with hexane and produces a darker oil, dark yellow to orange in colour. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers; for example, about two thousand flowers are required to produce one gram of oil.
The main constituents of attar of roses are the fragrant alcohols geraniol and L-citronellol and rose camphor, an odorless solid composed of alkanes, which separates from rose oil. β-Damascenone is also a significant contributor to the scent.
FOOD AND DRINK
Rose hips are high in vitamin C, are edible raw, and occasionally made into jam, jelly, marmalade, and soup, or are brewed for tea. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products and some makeup products.
Rose water has a very distinctive flavour and is used in Middle Eastern, Persian, and South Asian cuisine—especially in sweets such as Turkish delight, barfi, baklava, halva, gulab jamun, kanafeh, and nougat. Rose petals or flower buds are sometimes used to flavour ordinary tea, or combined with other herbs to make herbal teas. A sweet preserve of rose petals called Gulkand is common in the Indian subcontinent. The leaves and washed roots are also sometimes used to make tea.
In France, there is much use of rose syrup, most commonly made from an extract of rose petals. In the Indian subcontinent, Rooh Afza, a concentrated squash made with roses, is popular, as are rose-flavoured frozen desserts such as ice cream and kulfi.
The flower stems and young shoots are edible, as are the petals (sans the white or green bases). The latter are usually used as flavouring or to add their scent to food. Other minor uses include candied rose petals.
Rose creams (rose-flavoured fondant covered in chocolate, often topped with a crystallised rose petal) are a traditional English confectionery widely available from numerous producers in the UK.
Under the American Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, there are only certain Rosa species, varieties, and parts are listed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

MEDICINE
The rose hip, usually from R. canina, is used as a minor source of vitamin C. The fruits of many species have significant levels of vitamins and have been used as a food supplement. Many roses have been used in herbal and folk medicines. Rosa chinensis has long been used in Chinese traditional medicine. This and other species have been used for stomach problems, and are being investigated for controlling cancer growth. In pre-modern medicine, diarrhodon (Gr διάρροδον, "compound of roses", from ῥόδων, "of roses") is a name given to various compounds in which red roses are an ingredient.
ART AND SYMBOLISM
The long cultural history of the rose has led to it being used often as a symbol. In ancient Greece, the rose was closely associated with the goddess Aphrodite. In the Iliad, Aphrodite protects the body of Hector using the "immortal oil of the rose" and the archaic Greek lyric poet Ibycus praises a beautiful youth saying that Aphrodite nursed him "among rose blossoms". The second-century AD Greek travel writer Pausanias associates the rose with the story of Adonis and states that the rose is red because Aphrodite wounded herself on one of its thorns and stained the flower red with her blood. Book Eleven of the ancient Roman novel The Golden Ass by Apuleius contains a scene in which the goddess Isis, who is identified with Venus, instructs the main character, Lucius, who has been transformed into a donkey, to eat rose petals from a crown of roses worn by a priest as part of a religious procession in order to regain his humanity.
Following the Christianization of the Roman Empire, the rose became identified with the Virgin Mary. The colour of the rose and the number of roses received has symbolic representation. The rose symbol eventually led to the creation of the rosary and other devotional prayers in Christianity.
Ever since the 1400s, the Franciscans have had a Crown Rosary of the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the 1400s and 1500s, the Carthusians promoted the idea of sacred mysteries associated with the rose symbol and rose gardens. Albrecht Dürer's painting The Feast of the Rosary (1506) depicts the Virgin Mary distributing garlands of roses to her worshippers.
Roses symbolised the Houses of York and Lancaster in a conflict known as the Wars of the Roses.
Roses are a favored subject in art and appear in portraits, illustrations, on stamps, as ornaments or as architectural elements. The Luxembourg-born Belgian artist and botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté is known for his detailed watercolours of flowers, particularly roses.
Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still life, particularly flowers including roses. The rose 'Fantin-Latour' was named after the artist.
Other impressionists including Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir have paintings of roses among their works. In the 19th century, for example, artists associated the city of Trieste with a certain rare white rose, and this rose developed as the city's symbol. It was not until 2021 that the rose, which was believed to be extinct, was rediscovered there.
In 1986 President Ronald Reagan signed legislation to make the rose the floral emblem of the United States.
Pests and diseases
Wild roses are host plants for a number of pests and diseases. Many of these affect other plants, including other genera of the Rosaceae.
Cultivated roses are often subject to severe damage from insect, arachnid and fungal pests and diseases. In many cases they cannot be usefully grown without regular treatment to control these problems.
WIKIPEDIA
Ela adora observar o céu da janela de casa, ganha horas vendo suas formas, que se transformam de maneira lenta e graciosa. Adora ver como uma máscara se transforma em uma mulher com flor no cabelo que reza, que se transforma em uma bruxa, e que em seguida vem um pássaro desenhado pelas mãos de uma criança de 5 anos de idade, pássaro esse que vira e desvira se transformando no número “4”. Ela tem vontade de subir na janela e voar, abraçar a imensidão azul com branco, guardar para si em um baú, como um tesouro, mas ao refletir se dá conta de tamanho egoísmo, e guarda para si na memória. Percebe que nada que possui é de fato seu, mas tudo que observa ficará em sua memória, sendo assim eternamente seu. Respira fundo, e sorri. A vida é boa.
A MULHER DE PEDRA
Um conjunto de rochas, formam “A Mulher de Pedra”. O sereno rosto que aparece no horizonte da Estrada Teresópolis - Friburgo, refere-se ao rosto de uma senhora, já idosa... com idade avançada (embora com um protuberante seio), que agora repousa placidamente e eternamente sob a luz do luar... das estrelas. O seu protuberante “Seio” é uma aguda formação rochosa que eleva-se a 2.038 metros de altura, que é superada em cerca de 3h e 30min de trilhas, uma bela caminhada que alterna trechos de mata fechada e paredões de pedra. Para visitar esta bela senhora em sono profundo, o acesso é pela Estrada RJ-130 Teresópolis/Friburgo, no Km 12 (Vargem Grande - Teresópolis). Os habitantes locais conhecem os Guias para a subida do “seio”; o Supermercado Penedo (Rua Diógenes Pedro da Costa, 55), também poderá fornecer demais informações.
A RJ-130, conhecida como “Estrada Teresópolis - Friburgo”, ou simplesmente Terê - Fri, é um grande corredor turístico da Região Serrana Fluminense, são 68 quilômetros, onde encontra-se diversas Pousadas, Hotéis Fazenda, FRIALP Queijaria Suíça de Nova Friburgo, acesso aos Três Picos de Salinas (importante monumento natural do Parque Estadual dos Três Picos)... No município de Terê, a Estrada recebe o nome de Dr. Rogério de Moura Estevão, e no trecho friburguense, o nome de Antônio Mário de Azevedo.

Addressing a UN anti-racism confab Iran's president minces no words in calling Israel 'a totally racist government' formed on the back of 'military aggression'.
Snubbing Monday warnings by the French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the post-World War II military invasions on Palestine which preceded the propping up of the entity, were explained by 'Jewish suffering'.
"They resorted to military aggression to make an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish," he said.
"They sent migrants from Europe, the United States and other parts of the world in order to establish a totally racist government in the occupied Palestine."
Kouchner had earlier warned that all European envoys would leave the UN anti-racism summit, should Ahmadinejad level 'racist or anti-Semitic accusations' against Israel.
In an attempt to interrupt the Iranian president's speech, a number of delegates left the summit dubbed 'Durban II' as he touch on the issue. Ahmadinejad, however, continued his speech and was applauded by the audience.

⚡️ AULA GRATUITA: Como Fazer Uma Instalação Elétrica Completa do Zero, Com Facilidade, Mesmo que Você Não Seja Um Eletricista Profissional: ➽ ift.tt/wudUOiE ------ ✅ Gostou desse vídeo? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✍️ Deixe seu comentário 📢 Compartilhe com os amigos Siga nossas redes ➽ ift.tt/htsoqUD - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 👉 Curso NR10 com 20% de desconto ➽ ift.tt/qx4mn9y ------ Dentre vários assuntos “polêmicos” que existem no ramo da eletricidade, tem um que é a ligação de tomadas duplas, o que é melhor, usar terminais e fazer os “jumpers” as pontes com cabos, ou é melhor usar conectores para derivar? Existe ou não existe uma maneira correta de ligar tomadas duplas? Ficou curioso? As diferentes formas de se instalar uma tomada dupla costuma ser um assunto polêmico. Sendo assim, resolvemos mostrar para você o que acontece neste tipo de ligação, de 2 maneiras diferentes: 1 - Emenda de derivação, com conector e com fita isolante….e 2 - Derivação por “jumpers”, ou seja fazendo ponte com cabos e terminais… “E como você vai testar isso André?” Será em três passos: 1 - Faremos ambas montagens da melhor forma possível separadamente. 2 - Ligaremos a tomada dupla a nossa MDC para simular a circulação de corrente. 3 - Usaremos a nossa câmera térmica para medir o aquecimento dos terminais em cada tipo de ligação. Primeiro vamos ver o que acontece quando derivamos os cabos saindo de um módulo e ligando em outro através dos jumpers. Através da visão térmica a gente consegue notar que o ponto de maior temperatura, 37 graus, está concentrado no cabo de alimentação das tomadas e também da pra ver que os bornes do módulo que recebe a alimentação esquenta mais do que o resto dos componentes, ou seja, ao fazer jumpers, toda corrente das duas tomadas passam no primeiro borne, pra de pois ela se dividir ali. Agora vamos ver o que acontece quando derivamos os cabos através das emendas de derivação convencionais isoladas na fita isolante mesmo. Reparem agora que o ponto quente, ou seja, a parte que está vermelha na camera térmica está concentrado nas emendas, e não nos bornes das tomadas. Veja que nas emendas temos praticamente os mesmos 37 graus do teste anterior, chegando até 39 graus. E os bornes se mantem sem sobrecarga, afinal neste tipo de ligação a corrente se divide antes da conexão nas tomadas, preservando mais os bornes. E por fim, apenas a título de curiosidade vamos ver essa mesma derivação só que feita com conector no lugar da fita isolante. Reparem que assim como na derivação feita com fita isolante, o ponto de maior temperatura, praticamente os 37 graus variando pouco, está concentrado no conector onde é feito a emenda, com isso os bornes novamente não ficam sobrecarregados. Bom, tá visto então com a ajuda da nossa câmera térmica, que ligar tomadas duplas fazendo derivações nos cabos ao invés de jumpers, tende a aumentar a durabilidade da conexão. Dessa forma não há sobrecarga nos bornes que recebem a alimentação. Só que é bom lembrar, que não existe uma regra para fazer este tipo de ligação. Você pode escolher fazer por derivação cabo a cabo ou por jumper, a norma não padroniza isso e como eu disse no início do vídeo, a intenção deste vídeo é mostrar o que acontece quando fazemos estes dois tipos mais comuns de ligação. Particularmente, eu uso, faço e recomendo que seja feito derivando o rabicho individualmente para cada módulo. Agora, cabe a você decidir qual delas você irá adotar. E ai meu querido, após assistir a este vídeo, sua opinião sobre a forma de ligar 2 ou mais módulos de tomada mudou? Escreva sim André, mudei minha opinião graças a este vídeo da Engehall ou não André, minha opinião continua a mesma. Outra coisa meu querido, clique nesta setinha aqui em cima para compartilhar este vídeo com seus amigos. Assim eles também podem ver o que realmente acontece quando fazemos esses tipos de ligação. Quem sabe ele também não muda de opinião?
