The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or housecatto distinguish it from other felines and felids, is a small carnivorous mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin and household pests. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 yearsand is currently the most popular pet in the world.A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs and toilet handles.Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.They are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as cat fancy.Until recently the cat was commonly believed to have been domesticated in ancient Egypt, where it was a cult animal. A study in 2007 found that the lines of descent of all house cats probably run through as few as five self-domesticating African Wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica) circa 8000 BC, in the Near East. The earliest direct evidence of cat domestication is a kitten that was buried with its owner 9,500 years ago in Cyprus.
Il gatto domestico (Felis silvestris catus) è un mammifero carnivoro di piccola taglia della famiglia dei felidi (genere Felis). Tradizionalmente l'antico Egitto e Mesopotamia viene indicato come luogo di origine, dove era considerato un animale sacro e, in alcuni casi, mummificato e messo nei sarcofagi delle famiglie più ricche. Un recente studio, pubblicato sulla rivista Science, ha evidenziato, attraverso studi genetici, che tale luogo andrebbe individuato nel Medio Oriente; precisamente nella mezzaluna fertile. Tutto ciò in coincidenza con lo sviluppo delle prime forme di agricoltura. Fu l'uomo, si presume nello studio, a favorire la diffusione del felino portandolo con lui nelle migrazioni. Si può trovare allo stato selvatico (ne esistono ancora diverse specie), ma prevalentemente vive nell'ambito domestico e spesso ha ruolo di animale da affezione. La sua temperatura corporea oscilla fra i 38° e i 38,5 °C; la frequenza respiratoria normale è di 10/20 respiri al minuto e quella cardiaca di 110/140 battiti al minuto. Il suo corpo è agile, flessibile e massiccio, tale da consentirgli di camminare in modo silenziosissimo e di spiccare grandi salti; le sue unghie retrattili (più precisamente protrattili, dato che nella condizione ordinaria di riposo si trovano nascoste e sono estratte solo all'occorrenza) gli permettono di arrampicarsi con grande agilità.

Neolithic human skull. This fossil skull was found during the construction of the docks at Preston, Lancashire, on the River Ribble, UK, in the period 1885 to 1892. This skull and other finds had been thought to be from the Bronze Age, but research at Liverpool John Moores University in 2002 established new dates. It is now thought that the finds date from a wider period of time, from the late neolithic around 6000 years ago, up to Anglo-Saxon times as recently as 1000 years ago.
This pen and ink drawing is a patterned interpretation of the human heart playing with the lines and shapes of this complex organ.
A few months ago a friend of mine asked me to submit photos for a gallery she was hosting. The aim of the gallery was to bring awareness to human trafficking, auction off the prints and give the proceeds to charity. I hear they raised over $3000!
For inspiration I went to MTV exit and watched their online videos.
Nearly 100 teams took part in the 2019 Human Exploration Rover Challenge, held April 12-13 at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The competition, hosted by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, challenges high school and college teams to design, build and test human-powered roving vehicles inspired by the Apollo lunar missions and future exploration missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond. This year’s competition marked 25 years since the inaugural event.

Hey It's my first human head It took me a lot of time to do the modeling but I'm pretty happy of what I've done
When Google Street View became widely used, I began to wonder what, if anything, many of my photos added to what anyone could view online.
In fact, Google has a several advantages?
It lets you take a virtual stroll along Blue Boar Street. (And millions of streets around the world.)
During the stroll you can stop and take a 360° view looking up or down. And if there's old street-level imagery from StreetView archives you can see how an area changes over time.
You can even go inside some buildings. In this case the adjacent Oxford Town Hall - photographed by Neil Scowcroft.

Perhaps what the Google cars lack is human legs, eyes, arms, imagination and feelings. And maybe some respect and affection for the people and what they do and make.
I assume Google are working on all of these.
La Encamisá de Torrejoncillo
Se desconoce de qué hecho concreto proviene ni desde cuando viene celebrándose en Torrejoncillo la fiesta de "La Encamisá". La respuesta más probable, al preguntar en el pueblo sobre el tema, será: "dicen que viene de la batalla de Pavía, cuando unos torrejoncillanos se disfrazaron con camisas entre la nieve...". Aunque, personalmente, no considero que sea la versión mas acertada, tampoco es tan disparatada si nos adentramos en la historia y comprobamos que fueron varias las encamisadas en aquella campaña de Italia.
Otras opiniones se remontan más atrás en el tiempo y piensan que la Encamisá proviene de un hecho de la Reconquista, donde también hay constancia de su realización, bien por parte cristiana o mora. ¿Por qué no un origen árabe?. Otros piensan que sus raíces están en las guerras de Flandes, con milagro de por medio, y hay quienes le atribuyen una fecha mucho más cercana, ante las guerras carlistas.
¿Qué era una encamisada? Mucho mejor que yo pueda hacerlo ahora ya lo dijo Sebastián de Covarrubias, capellán del rey Felipe II, en 1.611, en el diccionario "Tesoro de la lengua castellana o española", cuando escribía:
"Es cierta estratagema de los que de noche han de acometer a sus enemigos y tomarlos de rebato, que sobre las armas se ponen camisas, porque con la escuridad de la noche no se confundan con los contrarios. Y de aquí vino llamar encamisada la fiesta que se hace de noche con hachas en señal de regocijo". Por esta definición y otras similares puede comprobarse su origen bélico y el motivo de realizarse, que era la celebración de la victoria, emulando la estratagema que había conducido a ella.

Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, si no también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

The urgency to address human rights in North Korea has never been greater as the international community marks the 10th anniversary of the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in North Korea. Nearly a decade after its creation and subsequent report, the Commission of Inquiry was a breakthrough on detailing North Korea’s human rights violations and raising public awareness. Despite North Korea’s missile tests continuing to make headlines, the international community must not forget the dire human rights situation in the country. What role does civil society and NGOs play in advocating on behalf of North Korean human rights? How can civil society in conjunction with governments help revitalize and sustain North Korean human rights advocacy? How have local and global politics affected the direction of human rights advocacy on North Korea?
On April 20, the Center for East Asia and Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution, Committee on Human Rights in North Korea, and North Korea Freedom Coalition will host Ambassador Shin-wha Lee, for an interactive discussion on North Korean human rights issues.

I made this costume for halloween. It blends in so well with the shrubbery it is shocking.
Pity the big kids who come trick-or-treat at my house this year.
Posso scegliere se essere costantemente attiva e felice o introspettivamente passiva e triste. Oppure diventare pazza rimbalzando da un umore all'altro.

Theres plenty of glare on this photo from the figure, which is translucent orange plastic. I've done this on purpose, mainly because I was testing the flash on the camera during daytime, to try and get Human Torch to light up.
Just an experiment shot. ;-P
