NARMADA PARIKRAMA
The Narmada also called the Rewa, is a river in central India and the fifth longest river in the Indian subcontinent. It is the third longest river that flows entirely within India, after the Godavari and the Krishna. It is also known as "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh" for its huge contribution to the state of Madhya Pradesh in many ways. It forms the traditional boundary between North India and South India and flows westwards over a length of 1,312 km (815.2 mi) before draining through theGulf of Khambhat into the Arabian Sea, 30 km (18.6 mi) west of Bharuch city of Gujarat. It is one of only three major rivers in peninsular India that run from east to west (longest west flowing river), along with the Tapti River and the Mahi River. It is the one of the rivers in India that flows in a rift valley, flowing west between the Satpura and Vindhya ranges. The other rivers which flows through rift valley include Damodar River in Chota Nagpur Plateau and Tapti. The Tapti River and Mahi River also flow through rift valleys, but between different ranges. It flows through the states of Madhya Pradesh(1,077 km (669.2 mi)), and Maharashtra, (74 km (46.0 mi))– (35 km (21.7 mi)) then along the border between Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra (39 km (24.2 mi) and the border between Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat and in Gujarat (161 km (100.0 mi)).
The Periplus Maris Erythraei (c. 80 AD) calls it the Nammadus, and theBritish Raj called it the Nerbudda or Narbada. Narmadā is a Sanskrit word meaning "the Giver of Pleasure".
To Hindus the Narmada is one of the five holy rivers of India; the other four beingGanges, Yamuna, Godavari and Kaveri. It is believed that a dip in any of these five rivers washes one's sins away. According to a legend, the river Ganges, polluted by millions of people bathing in it, assumes the form of a black cow and comes to the Narmada to bathe and cleanse itself in its holy waters. Legends also claim that the Narmada River is older than the river Ganges.
The river was mentioned by Ptolemy in the second century AD as Namade and by the author of the Periplus. The Ramayana, the Mahabharat, and thePuranas refer to it frequently. The Rewa Khand of Vayu Purana and the Rewa Khand of Skanda Purana are entirely devoted to the story of the birth and the importance of the river, and hence Narmada is also called the Rewa.
There are many fables about the origin of the Narmada. According to one of them, once Lord Shiva, the Destroyer of the Universe, meditated so hard that he started perspiring. Shiva's sweat accumulated in a tank and started flowing in the form of a river – the Narmada. Another legend has it that two teardrops that fell from the eyes of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, yielded two rivers – the Narmada and the Son.
Legends also say that for Lord Shiva, the Hindu God, the river is especially sacred on account of its origin, and it is often called Shankari, i.e., daughter of Shankar (Lord Shiva). All the pebbles rolling on its bed are said to take the shape of his emblem with the saying, "Narmada Ke Kanker utte Sankar" (a popular saying in the Hindi belt of India), which means that 'pebble stones of Narmada get a personified form of Shiva'. These lingam shaped stones (cryptocrytalline quartz), calledBanalinga also called (Banashivalingas) are much sought after for daily worship by the Hindus. The Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, constructed by Rajaraja Chola, has one of the biggest Banalingas. Adi Shankara met his guru Govinda Bhagavatpada on the banks of the river Narmada.
Narmada is also said to have been in love with the Sonbhadra, another river flowing on the Chota Nagpur Plateau. According to the Puranas, the Narmada is also called the Rewa, from its leaping motion (from the root 'rev') through its rocky bed.
Important religious places and Ghats along the course of the river, starting from its origin at Narmadakhund at Amarkantakhill, are a) the Amarkantak (in Sanskrit: Neck of Shiva) or Teertharaj (the King of Pilgrimages), b) Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, and Mahadeo temples, Nemawar Siddeshwar Mandir in the middle reach of the river – all named after Shiva, c) Chausath Yogini (sixty four yoginis) temple, d) Chaubis Avatar temple, e) Bhojpur Shiva temple and Bhrigu Rishi temple in Bharuch. The Narmada River is also worshipped as mother goddess by Narmadeeya Brahmins.
The importance of the Narmada River as sacred is testified by the fact that the pilgrims perform a holy pilgrimage of aparikrama or circumambulation of the river.[17] The Narmada Parikrama, as it is called, is considered to be a meritorious act that a pilgrim can undertake. Many sadhus and pilgrims walk on foot from the Arabian Sea at Bharuch in Gujarat, along the river, to the source in Maikal Mountains (Amarkantak hills) in Madhya Pradesh and back along the opposite bank of the river. It is a 2,600-kilometre (1,600 mi) walk.[18] Important towns of interest in the valley are Jabalpur, Barwani, Hoshangabad, Harda, Narmada Nagar, Omkareshwar, Dewas (Nemavar, Kity, Pipri), Mandla and Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, andRajpipla and Bharuch in Gujarat. Some places of historical interest are Joga Ka Quilla, Chhatri of Baji Rao Peshwa andBhimbetka, and among the falls are the Dugdhdhara, Dhardi falls, Bheraghat, Dhuandhara, Kapiladhara and Sahastradhara.

La band nasce nel 2007 dalle ceneri dei Woptime. Vengono formati da Saverio Sgaramella (voce), attivo nella scena hardcore italiana sin dagli anni '80 (periodo d'oro di band come Negazione e Raw Power), nonchè uno dei più noti pro-skaters dell'epoca vantando esibizioni e gare a livello mondiale.
A pochi mesi dalla nascita la band diventa una delle più attive a livello di esibizioni dal vivo, costruendosi da sola, in un periodo dove chi paga si aggiudica il posto migliore in scaletta. Con un'attitudine che proviene dagli anni vissuti in strada, il sound dei Concrete Block riflette il malessere e l'angoscia di chi vive giorno per giorno con le spalle al muro, prendendo tutti i calci e i pugni che la vita riserva.
Dopo il primo MiniCD "Down With the Madness" uscito per Countdown Records in Luglio 2007, i Concrete Block suonano costantemente e condividono il palco con Sepultura, Sick Of It All, Murphy's Law, Maroon, Shattered Realm, Skarhead, Agnostic Front, The Business, Slapshot e tanti altri. Nel 2008 esce il loro primo vero full length "Life Is Brutal" (Countdown Records) prodotto da Daniele Giordana. Per molti questo disco diventa subito l'album hardcore italiano dell'anno.
Alla fine del 2009 dopo due dischi la line-up originale si scioglie, ma la band con una nuova formazione continua a suonare dal vivo. Dopo alcune date gloriose di nuovo assieme ad Agnostic Front e Skarhead arrivano problemi per Saverio, che convinto ad emigrare negli States viene bloccato in Italia per problemi tipo galera, carenza di una base monetaria, situazione lavorativa pessima ed un divorzio alle porte.
Dopo aver passato il periodo Saverio rimette in piedi la formazione con nuovi elementi, riprendono le prove, i concerti ed inizia la stesura di pezzi nuovi. Il bassista viene rimpiazzato perchè trova posto in un TV show come stand up commedia e l'album nuovo prende forma. Si arriva al 2013 con una piena attività live e "Twilight of the Gods", l'ultimo lavoro uscito per F.O.A.D. Records, registrato al One Black Sox studio da Carlo Girardi. E' la storia continua…
These photos caputure the festivity of Dahi Handi (pot of curd), which is popular in Maharashtra to celebrate.Janmashtami, the birth day of Lord Krishna. In the month of August- September.
Krishna would love to eat butter and curd, this would be kept in pots hanging from the roof tops.
So as a child he and his friend would form a human pyramid (just like in the photos) to reach the pots and steal the butter. He would enter the houses of the many gopis and carry out his mischief. In spite of this he was loved by one and all.
There are many folk tales and songs spun around this story and are very popular all over India.
This is called Dahi Handi in Maharashtra, were people will tie the dahi handi along with some cash award. During the day various groups come and take the challenge by building mult-story human layers.
At the place were I took these photos the qualifying levels were seven human layers.
In the evening the qualified groups take the challenge of going even higher. At this place the max layers which were made was 9 human layer. This is believed to be a world record.
This picture of a White-throated Sparrow (tan form or tan morph or tan striped) was taken in Brantford, Ontario.
From Wikipedia: There are two adult plumage variations known as the tan-striped and white-striped forms. On the white-striped form the crown is black with a white central stripe. The supercilium is white as well. The auriculars are gray with the upper edge forming a black eye line.[3]
On the tan form, the crown is dark brown with a tan central stripe. The supercilium is tan as well. The auriculars are gray/light brown with the upper edge forming a brown eye line. Both variations feature dark eyes, a white throat, yellow lores and gray bill.[3] There is variation and some individuals may show dark lateral stripes of each side of the throat.
They almost always pair with the opposite color morph for breeding. The two color morphs occur in approximately equal numbers. Both male and female white-striped birds are more aggressive than tan-striped birds during the breeding season.[6][7]
The breast has gray/tan streaks and the streaks continue down the flanks but the belly is generally light gray. The wings are rufous with two distinct white wing bars. Sexes are morphologically similar.[3]
Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
Azzedine Alaïa’s innovations in stretch fabrics were at least as important as his elevation of leather. In his hands, these transformed the silhouette of the wearer.
Rather than creating clothes anchored at strategic points – conventionally, the waist and the shoulders – Alaïa’s bandage dresses cling to the wearer’s form, conscious of the entire body. The stretch fabric allows these minimal silhouettes to move freely.
Debuted in 1986, these variations on the ‘Bandelette’ (bandage) dress are clearly inspired by ancient Egyptian mummification, but also perhaps by the swaddling of infants. The garments join Western and Eastern traditions – highly fitted and precision-cut, with a body simply and sensually wrapped in cloth.
The dresses seem simple, but each band of fabric is precisely engineered and cut to specific dimensions, according to its place on the figure. These creations ushered in the notion of physique-delineating ‘bodycon’ dressing, the defining aesthetic of the early 1990s.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

Not an ink splodge in sight, just a little smudge done in the last 50 odd years.
For my fellow Bird Nerds! I couldn’t resist posting this crop. I love to zoom in on the feet of birds. They are beautiful, as well as prehistoric and dangerous looking to me. Great White Egrets are so elegant, but their feet are all business, with substantial claws. I also love the scales. This GWE was hanging out at Save Our Seabirds. He is wild, and he is free. I’m guessing he just likes the positive energy there and no doubt the occasional dropped fish during feeding time.
Hugs and thanks for viewing! =o)

Proseguono con successo gli incontri organizzati da FotoFucina dedicati alla cultura fotografica. In occasione del prossimo appuntamento, mercoledì 28 maggio alle 19.30, FotoFucina accoglierà gli amici dell’Associazione Culturale Positivo Diretto, che presenteranno un percorso tematico legato alla Fotografia Contemporanea. Attraverso una breve digressione storica si prenderanno in analisi esperienze artistiche e progetti di autori italiani e stranieri che si sono approcciati alla disciplina fotografica in maniera personale, producendo case histories esclusive.
Positivo Diretto, collettivo di giovani pugliesi professionisti in diverse discipline legate all’arte e al mondo della cultura, è l’ideatore del format Bitume Photofest (www.bitumephotofest.org), il primo festival urbano dedicato alla Fotografia Contemporanea, che avrà luogo a Lecce il prossimo Settembre, ed invaderà il territorio cittadino con una proposta di fruizione culturale piuttosto insolita, ospitando inoltre a Lecce professionisti della fotografia noti a livello internazionale, che prenderanno parte al percorso formativo e divulgativo del festival, in occasione di preziosi e gratuiti momenti di formazione.
In occasione dell’incontro, nel corso della serata, gli amici di Positivo Diretto presenteranno ufficialmente il loro primo progetto editoriale, Carte d’imbarco: il titolo della pubblicazione rimanda vagamente ad antiche tipologie di oggetti fotografici, come le "cartes de visite", e naturalmente all’idea di accesso ad altri mondi, temporali ed immaginifici. È un piccolo ed emozionante progetto editoriale dedicato all’immagine fotografica e alla scrittura, complici alcune fotografie recuperate da botteghe e mercati antiquari dei primi del 1900.
Così si descrive il progetto: "Per questioni radicate nella storia di ciascuno di noi, c'è grande interesse non solo per l'immagine fotografica, ma anche per il legame - non sempre facile o scontato - che essa ha da sempre avuto con la scrittura; la passione per l'autoproduzione editoriale e il visual design completano il cerchio. Da qui la prima tappa del progetto, la prima pubblicazione di questa collana editoriale: invitare i primi cinque scrittori e invitarli a farsi trascinare all'interno dell’oggetto fotografico a loro affidato. Fotografie di sconosciuti, fotografie "di nessuno", espropriate e ritornate ad essere magma visuale fuori dalla raccolta, fuori da quel cassetto, da quell’album, fotografie di chi non c'è più o di chi le ha perdute, fotografie che viaggiano di mano in mano, rafforzandosi della loro natura di portali, di fessura verso l'immaginazione, verso il viaggio. Carte d’imbarco."
Formed by two huge volcanoes, Banks Peninsula sits to the east of Christchurch city and is a distinctive feature of the east coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Once covered in tall native forest the peninsula has been burned and felled in the early history of human settlement in New Zealand to the extent that only tiny scraps of the original cover remain.
Nevertheless it is a dramatic landscape with spectacular volcanic cliffs, and steeply rolling hills covered in grasses, scrub and forest remnants and often topped by volcanic crags and outcrops.
Godley heads is a popular walking and mountainbiking area only minutes from Christchurch city on the northern bank of Lyttelton harbour, the harbour itself being a sea-drowned crater.
With protection, some of the orginal forest is regenerating and birds locally extinct on the peninsula (or nearly so) such as the korimako (bellbird) are coming back.
The harsh climate and unique landscape of the peninsula and the neighbouring Kaitorete Spit have produced a number of plant and insect species not found anywhere else in New Zealand.
St. Cuthbert's is situated within Elsdon's 7.5 acres (3.0 ha) village green. Larger in size than many Northumbrian churches, it is situated close to the fortified vicarage. It is 21 miles (34 km) west-northwest from Morpeth.[2] The village and church are located along St. Cuthbert's Way.
The church shows evidence of extensive later medieval rebuilding. The cause may have been damage at the time of the 1388 Battle of Otterburn. The ceiling over the nave and the transept aisles forms quadrants, and slabs exist across the structure.[3] Of the present church, there are two transepts, one called Anderson's porch, and the other Hedley's porch.[4] The building had a leper window.[5] There are several deep cuts on one of the pillars of the arcade of the south aisle, which are of a different character from masons' marks, and considered likely to have been made by the sharpening of weapons upon them.[6]
In some country parishes in large sparsely-inhabited districts, it was expedient to build hearse-houses against the churches for the convenience of keeping a hearse for the use of the parishioners; one was built against the shady north side of the chancel of Elsdon's church.[7] The rectory house is an old tower with a circular staircase at one corner. Its lowest story is spanned with one large arch. On its front arch are the arms of the Hunfranvilles, with an inscription beneath.
The first church at Elsdon was probably constructed of oak, with a roof made of rushes. A subsequent church has few remains still in existence: Norman pilasters, and two small Norman windows in the west gable, circa 1100 or earlier.[4] Most of the current construction is 14th century.[8] St John the Evangelist's Church in Otterburn is a chapel-of-ease to St. Cuthbert's.[9]
The monks of Lindisfarne during their flight from the Danes, halted for a while with the relics of St. Cuthbert on what is now the site of Elsdon Church.
During of the 1877 church restoration, it was necessary to change the levels of the church flooring. The flooring was damp; the bases of the pillars were nearly covered and out of sight because of soil accumulation. The reduction of soil levels in the nave, transepts and chancel lead to the discovery of an immense collection of skeletons. The labourers reported that 996 whole skulls were re-interred, as well as a large number that were mutilated in the course of their removal. The remains of nearly 1200 of the former chief inhabitants of the district were disturbed and removed from their resting place, while approximately 300 or 400 were left where found. The skeletons appeared to have been disturbed by the interment of those more recently buried. No doubt the intra-mural interments had taken place during hundreds of years, the last having occurred in the late 18th century. The bones of the earlier deceased had frequently been moved to make room for their successors. Skulls were frequently found lying together in groups of three or four in one spot. No remains other than bones were found, with the exception of a very few coffin handles, with a little decayed wood, and in one instance a small quantity of hair.[5] It is possible that some bodies had been buried here after the Battle of Otterburn.[11]
Also in 1877, it was necessary to pull down the small spire, which terminated at the bell turret surmounting the church's western gable. In the spire, immediately over the bell, a small chamber was discovered, without any opening, and in it, nearly filling the cavity, were three horse skulls. When found, the three skulls were standing on their bases in a triangular form, mouths upwards, and leaning against each other at the top; the cavity seemed to have been purposely prepared for them. There were two large skulls and one smaller; two were well preserved, while one was decayed. The heads appeared to be two of draught horses, and one of a cob.[5] The reason for placing skulls in the bell turret may have been to increase the resonance.

MUSEO VIRREINAL
1892 Ex Convento Franciscano y Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel (Zinacantepec) Estado de México
El museo cuenta con una valiosa colección de libros y misales, con los que se ha integrado una biblioteca.
De esta forma el ex-convento franciscano de Zinacantepec, que se supone se inició su edificación, antes de 1550 y su consagración por 1560 o 1570 aproximadamente, representa un valor histórico religioso que los habitantes del municipio mucho valoran como parte de su patrimonio y que el gobierno federal con fecha 6 de septiembre de 1933 lo declaró monumento nacional.
Museo de Arte Virreinal. Ubicado en pleno zócalo del municipio de Zinacantepec, al que se puede llegar por vía terrestre, partiendo de la ciudad. de Toluca, o de las vías terrestres de los pueblos circunvecinos, ideal para conocer la actividad evangelizadora de los franciscanos a los grupos indígenas.
Museo Virreinal de Zinacantepec
Zinancatepec, palabra de origen náhuatl que significa en este lugar se encuentra el ex-convento de la orden franciscana, establecido en la Nueva España en el siglo XVl, cuya construcción fue solicitada al virrey y por el encomendero Juan Sámano, quien estaba a cargo del gobierno de esta población.
El Museo virreinal fue inaugurado el 5 de Julio de 1980, por el entonces Presidente de la República mexicana, Lic. José López Portillo, con el objeto de difundir entre la población el ambiente y la vida conventual de los franciscanos durante la época virreinal, asimismo mostrar las características del arte religioso de los siglos XVI al XIX. El Museo cuenta con 18 salas, entre ellas el Bautisterio, en este espacio se encuentra la pila bautismal, la cual es monolítica, del siglo XVI y pone de manifiesto la mano de obra índigena, arte tequitqui, la pila presenta en su borde superior un cordón franciscano, más abajo una leyenda en lengua náhuatl qué explica: esta pila fue hecha en el año de 1581. Tiene cuatro medallones con temas bíblicos "La lucha del arcángel San Miguel con Luzbel", el "Bautismo de Jesús". La capilla abierta surge para contrarrestar la renuencia de los índigenas a celebrar sus cultos y ceremonias en interiores, los sacerdotes oficiaban las actividades religiosas en este sitio. El altar, consta de pinturas al fresco realizadas en el siglo XVI con imágenes de San Francisco de Asís. Las pinturas son de estilo renacentista. Anteportería, en la parte superior, encontramos el fresco del árbol geneológico de "San Francisco de Asís". La portería, da acceso al claustro bajo, conserva frescos de estilo mudejar (Arte Arabé). El Anterrefectorio, se aprecia un lavabo empotrado, de piedra, donde se aseaban antes de tomar sus alimentos en el refectorio. En la cocina, se encuentra una chimenea de estilo medieval y junto a ella tenemos la Alacena, donde guardaban semillas. Claustro Alto, aquí se ubican celdas dos de ellas eran para visitas importantes, pues son las más amplias, en ellas existen pinturas de los siglos XVI al XIX, casi todas ellas anónimas, excepto la pintura del artista Andrés de la Concha, en estos espacios también se conservan frescos del siglo XVI.
Sala de Virreyes, hay 60 óleos de los virreyes que gobernaron durante la época de la Nueva España, son copias de los originales que se encuentran actualmente en el Museo de Historia, en Chapultepec, su autor es Horacio. Biblioteca, se resguardan 4,800 volúmenes, todos escritos en latín y español antiguo, sus temas son religiosos, algunos conservan sellos de diversas órdenes religiosas.
El Museo Virreinal de Zinacantepec, fue construido entre 1550 y 1560, alguna vez fue el convento que albergó a los primeros hombres religiosos que iniciaron la evangelización entre el pueblo indígena a través del catecismo.En el interior del convento que desde el 5 de julio de 1980 funciona como Museo se puede apreciar la existencia de lugares especiales para la elaboración de pan, esto porque los franciscanos no sólo impartían la religión mediante los misales, sino que se apoyaban en la comida que compartían con el pueblo para que éstos se sintieran atraídos", dijo Vilchis.La construcción franciscana, de dos plantas terminadas con piedra negra, cal y tezontle, comentó, es uno de los tres centros más importantes de esta orden católica que arribó al Estado de México, los otros dos son Los Portales en Toluca y el que se encuentra en Metepec."Este ex convento y hoy museo, no sólo es importante por su arquitectura, por su capilla abierta, su anteportería, su portería, claustro bajo y sala de 'profundis' donde los franciscanos velaban a sus muertos o su anterefectorio y refectorio, que servían para mantener los alimentos perecederos en buen estado, sino también por la actividad cultural y religiosa que tenían."El acervo en cuanto libros que tiene este Museo, de un periodo de 1500 a 1800 lo hacen uno de las colecciones más importantes de libros franciscanos porque se tienen alrededor de 4 mil 800 títulos, que hablan sobre misales, vidas de santos y colecciones de otras órdenes como la de los carmelitas, dominicos y agustinos", afirmó.Actualmente el Museo Virreinal forma parte de los puntos más interesantes de esta región, junto con la Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, donde la gente realiza sus ceremonias religiosas como bodas, bautizos, quince años y presentaciones que forman parte de su vida diaria siempre apegada a la herencia de parte de los franciscanos

Una forma de poder llegar a otros usuarios, clientes, interesados y artistas de la misma generación
Un ejemplo
La llegada de la informatización de todos los procesos ha afectado a todos los sectores y actividades profesionales. De hecho, en algunos casos, se ha conseguido ahorrar en tiempo, gestión de las obligaciones con una administración concreta y ha logrado la eficiencia desde cualquier lugar con acceso a la red. De esta manera, la figura del pintor Iñaki García Ergüin ha optado por el camino de la digitalización de toda su colección, desde las obras de estudio hasta la documentación del pasado, con especial hincapié a las referencias de las primeras exposiciones, cuadros y testimonios recogidos en los medios de comunicación. En la innovación, como es el caso, ha logrado centrar la atención de sus seguidores en la Aldea Global, que es aquella en la que participamos todos y donde Internet ha impuesto unas nuevas reglas de juego para comunicar, compartir y vender. Por otro lado, el pintor bilbaíno participará en los próximos meses en una serie de eventos, con el fin de seguir exhibiendo su obra. Es muy reseñable que un profesional del mundo del arte haya decidido subirse a la nube. Éste, que es el camino, es un ejemplo de los muchos que veremos para poder realizar una Campaña de Comunicación en redes sociales, por medio de la web y llegando a todo tipo de público.
En el evento que participamos ayer, que está publicado en Facebook, un artista, que inició su trayectoria profesional en 1951 en la ciudad de Bilbao, se ha decantado por la comunicación, así como por llevar a cabo un proceso que implica la digitalización de toda su obra, con el objeto de catalogarla, saber qué es lo que tiene, conocer la documentación y poder llegar a todos los ámbitos, para que los interesados, amantes del mundo de la pintura y del dibujo sepan de la existencia de las distintas colecciones, exposiciones y técnicas desarrolladas en cada cuadro.
Iñaki García Ergüin se ha subido a una nube, donde la organización es una realidad y las aplicaciones de gestión han logrado sintetizar el importante legado documental, que abarca desde la década de los cuarenta del siglo XX, una significativa carrera profesional hasta nuestros días.
En ese sentido, en el colectivo de los artistas, pintores y otros profesionales de las distintas actividades, el conseguir llevar a cabo un proceso de digitalización es una obligación y ventaja, no sólo por el análisis de una forma cómoda del material, sino por la valoración que supone saber qué es lo que tienen.
En otro orden de cosas, a día de ayer nos llamó la atención la noticia del ahorro de costes que ha supuesto la puesta en marcha de una tramitación telemática y digital por parte del Ayuntamiento de Catarroja en la Comunidad Autónoma de Valencia.
Dos millones de euros, ha sido la estimación de los dirigentes de la entidad local, lo cual, si atendemos a la ley y a las formas de poder llevar a cabo una gestión inteligente en la burocracia de los Ayuntamientos hacia la ciudadanía, es una noticia que hace referencia al cambio de hábitos y costumbres, sin olvidarnos de ponérselo fácil a las personas que desean llevar a cabo sus trámites con las Administraciones.
El Cloud Computing, su escenario, opciones y posibilidades, o bien, la capacidad de almacenar y diseñar una plataforma a gusto, tanto en una nube pública como privada, es el ejemplo a seguir, dado que el día de mañana cada organización será capaz de administrar sus servidores, discos duros, máquinas virtuales y recursos de red (IaaS) en cuestión de segundos, bajo una dirección coherente que sepa cómo realizar los pasos, acciones y desarrollo de las políticas de comunicación de cada entidad, empresa y organización.
Esa alternativa, que rompe con el modelo tradicional, el de toda la vida, es una cuestión de confianza, que no es tan sencilla como parece, pero que requiere de nuevos profesionales que realicen un trabajo de especialización y de futuro para una sociedad interconectada por medio de Internet, así como a través de la Intranet corporativa.
En ese sentido, la figura y capacidad artística de un profesional como Iñaki García Ergüin representa a una persona pionera en un campo donde la gestión documental online puede agilizar la síntesis de la obra, cuadros y resumir la trayectoria en todo tipo de formatos, desde los documentos conocidos (.doc, .docx, .odt) hasta la realización de libros digitales (ePub, .mobi). Una oportunidad que no debe dejar pasar.

CAPRI - Capros, isto é: javali, pela sua forma característica. Capri, Ilha das Sereias, terra de Imperadores, monges, artistas, exilados... Capri teve seu destino alterado no século 19 quando ingleses e alemães descobriram os atrativos da ilha: pescadores passaram a alugar seus barcos, agricultores, a cuidar dos pequenos hotéis. Hoje, muitos visitantes vêm a Capri não mais em busca do paraíso, e sim atraídos pela badalação. O burburinho é intenso, não somente em terra firme como também no mar. O motivo? Capri está sempre am alta! A ilha tem 6 km de extensão por 2 km de largura, pequena, mas infinitamente cheia de encantos e de história para se descobrir. Tudo em Capri é caro, barato mesmo só as garrafinhas de limoncello - limão típico da região.
Capri está no golfo de Nápoles (região da Campania), no mar Tirreno, a pouca distância do continente, os protagonistas são as rochas e o mar. Há dois Portos: Marina Piccola e Marina Grande. Na Marina Piccola deve-se descer as escadas para chegar à praia e ao Scoglio della Sirene, onde diz a lenda, viviam as sereias que encantaram Ulisses. A montanha é coberta pela espontânea vegetação típica mediterrânea, em especial , os pinheiros do mar. Na Villa Jovis, está a casa do Imperador Tibério, com 7000 metros quadrados, onde dedicou sua vida privada, seu refúgio, desconfiado de que tramavam sua morte em Roma, mudou-se para Capri em 27 depois de Cristo. Inimigos, traidores e demais desgraçados, eram jogados penhasco abaixo. Em algumas regiões da ilha, a apenas 500 metros da costa, já se encontra a 600 metros de profundidade. Graças à sua formação calcária, Capri está repleta de Grutas, a mais famosa de todas: A Gruta Azul.
Há mais de 600 anos duas fábricas de perfumes aproveitam as flores típicas da ilha, em especial do limão (limoncello) e da laranja para extrair as suas essências. Nas suas vielas, além do aroma, há uma profusão de boutiques de marcas internacionais. Lojas, galerias, mercados de frutas e gente: gente que brota das rochas! O ponto mais alto da ilha é o Monte Solaro, 589 metros acima do nível do mar. Aqui a vista parece não ter fronteiras: em baixo fica toda a cidade de Capri, em frente o Vesúvio, o golfo de Nápoles e a península Sorrentina, mais ao fundo, as montanhas da Calábria, os Apeninos e a Costa Amalfitana com as ilhotas Galli.
A Ilha de Capri foi descoberta pelos romanos em 29 a.D., quando Augusto, primeiro Imperador Romano, voltava de uma campanha militar do Oriente e foi amor à primeira vista, onde constrói residência. O seu sucessor, Tibério, chegou a governar o Império Romano da Villa Imperial, e ergueu 12 mansões em Capri, também no município de Anacapri. A maior delas, a Villa Jovis, onde viveu com o seu sobrinho-neto Calígula. Tibério passou seus últimos dez anos de vida na sua Vila em Capri, morrendo de causas naturais. Após sua morte, deixou o Império ao sobrinho-neto Calígula e ao neto Gemelo. Pouco tempo depois, Calígula manda matar o primo e torna-se o único Imperador, em 37 d.C. (Ruínas da Vila Jovis preservadas).
OS FARAGLIONE DE CAPRI
São três picos de rochas que saem do mar a poucos metros da costa. O primeiro, unido à terra, chama-se Stella ou de Terra (111 m de altura). O segundo, separado do primeiro por um pedaço de mar, Faraglione di Mezzo (81 m de altura), onde um arco natural de grandes dimensões permite passagens de barcos, a inconsistência da rocha determinou uma contínua erosão. A tradição manda expressar os mais profundos desejos e sentimentos ao atravessar o Fariglione di Mezzo: gritar, aplaudir, fazer pedidos, agradecer, até mesmo chorar. O terceiro, Faraglione di Fuori ou Scopolo (105 m de altura), separado do anterior por um estreito braço de mar de 8 metros. Sobre o Scopolo vive a famosa Lagarta Azul dos Faraglioni, é o único lugar do mundo onde encontrá-la. Dizem que ela ganhou esta cor para se camuflar com o mar azul e com o céu.
