Història certa dels set cels. Set paradisos màgics i encantats. Història certa dels set cels. Set nius de pau, de glòria i de felicitat. El primer cel és inventat: el primer gran invent de la terrestritat. I el segon cel, imaginat, en una nit d'estiu a la vora del mar. El tercer cel, dins d'un mirall. Reflexa les imatges d'un món ignorat. I el quart cel és irreal. Com un oasi verd en un desert estrany. Del cinquè cel, res no se'n sap. No hi ha notícies d'aquest cel tan amagat. I el sisè cel està copiat... del cel setè que has engendrat dins del teu cap.
Jaume Sisa
True story of the seven heavens. Seven magical and enchanted paradises. True story of the seven heavens. Seven nests of peace, glory and happiness. The first sky, is invented: the first great invention of the terrestriality. And the second imagined heaven, on a summer night on the seashore. The third sky, inside a mirror: It reflects images of an ignored world. And the fourth heaven is unreal. Like a green oasis in a strange desert. Of the fifth heaven, nothing is known. There is no news of this sky so hidden. And the sixth heaven is copied... of the seventh heaven that you have engendered inside your head.

If you hear the word "Hang", you may think it is a Chinese word. It could be, for example, a Chinese dynasty, as were the Ming or Han dynastys. If you see the musical instrument "Hang", you may think that it is an ancient instrument from some Asian country. But it's not.
The "Hang" is a musical instrument created by two Swiss, Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in 1999. It is formed by two metal structures, shaped like a plate, joined by the edge. The inside of the instrument is empty, while on the outside it has ornaments and circular indentations of different sizes, created by hammering the structure in the shape of a flying saucer.
The Hang is sounded by blows with the hands; blows of different intensities in the different parts of the instrument, thus creating a large variety of sounds depending on the size of the indentations, ornaments, pieces, etc... The sound can be muffled or louder, depending on how long the hand remains in contact with the instrument after striking it. The fact that hands are used is what gave rise to its name, as "Hang" means "hand" in the Swiss-German dialect spoken in Bern (Switzerland).
This instrument is no longer manufactured today. But don't worry, some computer scientist will invent a mobile App that reproduces the same sound and it will become fashionable. We will all be experts in Hang. In the digital age, you don't need to think or develop any qualities. Computers, software and Apps already do it for you. Specially that "monster" called mobile phone. If there is no mobile application... then, nobody is interested in it...

Wrocław’s dwarfs (Polish: krasnale, krasnoludki) are small figurines (20-30 cm) that first appeared in the streets of Wrocław, Poland, in 2005. Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction: those who would like to combine sight-seeing in Wrocław with "Hunting for dwarfs" are offered special brochures with a map[1] and mobile application software for smartphones.[2] As of 2015, there are over 350 dwarfs spread all over the city. Six of them are located outside the city at the LG plant in Biskupice Podgórne.
English: "Flickr Tuesdays", this is the name of an initiative that aims to regain the Spanish railfan community's interest in this high-quality photographic social network, in front of the mediocrity of popular mobile applications. This is my contribution for this Tuesday, a photo where EMU 447-132M arrives in Calaf with the mid-morning RL4 service between Lleida-Pirineus and Terrassa. Unfortunately, the Rodalies de Catalunya network is suffering from a serious and unprecedented crisis, the result of the chronic lack of investment in railway infrastructure and the uselessness of state and regional managers.
Català: "Dimarts de Flickr", aquest és el nom d'una iniciativa reivindicativa que pretén recuperar l'interès de la comunitat ferroviària per aquesta xarxa social d'alta qualitat fotogràfica, en front a la mediocritat que suposen les populars aplicacions per a mòbils. Aquesta és la meva aportació per aquest dimarts, una foto on la unitat 447-132M arriba a Calaf amb el servei RL4 de mig matí entre Lleida-Pirineus i Terrassa. Malauradament, la xarxa de Rodalies de Catalunya està patint una greu crisi sense precedents, fruit de la manca d'inversió crònica en la infraestructura ferroviària i de la inutilitat dels gestors estatals i regionals.

Eclairage: minuterie réglant les cycles lumineux, à partir d'une application mobile.
La première intuition de l’artiste pour réaliser le nid fut d’élaborer une oeuvre participative. Chaque participant au projet devait se munir d’un segment en acier d’1m20 de long et le transmettre ensuite — comme un bâton relais — à une autre personne du groupe qui reproduirait le geste elle aussi. Chaque tige en métal devait être soudée aux autres jusqu’à ce que l’ensemble forme un nid symbolisant la société que nous couvons tous en nous.
Pour évoquer son installation à Chaudfontaine, l’auteur s’exprime ainsi : « J’imagine que l’œuf existait avant le nid, que la source existait avant la bouteille et que l’idée ou l’élan précédait la société. Donner le nom de Source à un nid géant habité par trois oeufs lumineux, c’est — dans une ville d’eau — vouloir rendre hommage à ce qui se situe au principe de toute chose ».

Braiding 1.1 km of steel cables
Lighting: Timer setting the light cycles, from a mobile application.
The first intuition of the artist to create the nest was to develop a participatory work. Each participant in the project was to bring a long 1m20 in steel segment and transmit it - like a relay baton - to another person in the group that would reproduce the gesture too. Each metal rod had to be welded to another until the whole forms a nest symbolizing the society we have all in us.
To evoke its installation in Chaudfontaine, the author says: "I guess the egg existed before the nest, the source existed before the bottle and that the idea or momentum preceded society. Leave the Source name to a giant nest inhabited by three eggs bright, it is - in a water city - want to pay tribute to what is the principle of all things. "
I Was Raised on the Internet focuses on how the internet has changed the way we experience the world. Due to new types of gaming and entertainment and the rise of social media and alternative modes of representation, the everyday is no longer what it used to be. The ways we interact with each other have shifted through the connected nature of telecommunications devices across the internet, including mobile applications, social media platforms, and large search engines that have become everyday tools for individuals from all walks of life. New modes, not only of seeing but also of feeling, have emerged in response to this.
A few examples of dwarfs, which I've seen in The Old Town in Wrocław :)
Wrocław’s dwarfs are small figurines (20-30 cm) that first appeared in the streets of Wrocław, Poland, in 2005. Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction: those who would like to combine light-seeing in Wrocław with "Hunting for dwarfs" are offered special brochures with a map and mobile application software for smartphones. As of 2015, there are over 350 dwarfs spread all over the city. In 2001, to commemorate the Orange Alternative (Polish anti-communist movement), a monument of a dwarf (the movement’s symbol) was officially placed on Świdnicka Street, where the group’s happenings used to take place. The figures of the dwarfs, which are smaller than the Orange Alternative monument on Świdnicka Street, were placed in different parts of the city. The first five, designed by Tomasz Moczek, a graduate of The Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław, were placed in August 2005. Since that time, the number of figures has continued growing.

Kilka przykładowych krasnali wypatrzonych na wrocławskiej starówce :)
Wrocławskie krasnale – wydarzenie artystyczne oraz zjawisko społeczne obejmujące swoim zasięgiem Wrocław i okoliczne gminy, a wywierające wpływ na działania artystyczne realizowane w całej Polsce. Niewielkie rzeźby krasnali, w liczbie stale rosnącej, są umieszczane we Wrocławiu sukcesywnie od 2005 (obecnie jst ich około 350). Wywodzą się od malowanych w latach 80. XX wieku graffiti, a następnie happeningów organizowanych przez ruch „Pomarańczowej Alternatywy” ośmieszających w sposób pokojowy system komunistyczny. Po upadku PRL-u krasnale uległy zapomnieniu aż do sierpnia 2005, kiedy to wrocławski rzeźbiarz Tomasz Moczek ustawił pięć pierwszych krasnali. Figurki krasnali stały się integralną częścią przestrzeni miejskiej oraz zjawiskiem społecznym. Nowe postacie tworzone są przez artystów z całej Polski, a ich opiekunami są instytucje publiczne, firmy oraz osoby prywatne. Organizowane są specjalne wycieczki szlakiem krasnali, gry plenerowe, spektakle teatralne oraz wydawane mapy dla turystów chcących połączyć odnajdywanie kolejnych figurek ze zwiedzaniem Wrocławia. Ponadto kopie krasnala Życzliwka stoją w Dreźnie, Reykjaviku, Wilnie, Guadadalajarze, Hradec Kralove i Lwowie, a w Waszyngtonie stoi krasnal Kościuszko.
Wroclaw’s dwarfs are small figurines (20-30 cm) that first appeared in the streets of Wroclaw (old Breslau), Poland, in 2005.
Since then, their numbers have been continually growing, and today they are considered a tourist attraction: those who would like to combine sight-seeing in Wroclaw with "Hunting for dwarfs" are offered special brochures with a map and mobile application software for smartphones.
As of 2015, there are over 350 dwarfs spread all over the city. Six of them are located outside the city at the LG plant in Biskupice Podgórne.

Los enanos de Breslavia son pequeñas figuras (20-30 cm) que aparecieron por primera vez en las calles de Breslavia (antigua Breslavia), Polonia, en 2005.
Desde entonces, su número no ha dejado de crecer, y hoy en día se consideran una atracción turística: a quienes quieran combinar la visita a Wroclaw con la "caza de enanos" se les ofrecen folletos especiales con un mapa y un software de aplicación móvil para smartphones.
En 2015, hay más de 350 enanos repartidos por toda la ciudad. Seis de ellos se encuentran fuera de la ciudad, en la planta de LG en Biskupice Podgórne.
Wise people of a strong country!
The 34th day of the full-scale invasion of Russia and our full-scale defense is coming to an end. Successful defense.
I'm sure you saw the news today that the Russian military command allegedly decided to "reduce hostilities in the directions of Kyiv and Chernihiv."
Well, the same can be said about Chornobaivka - as if the Russian aviation simply decided to fly less, and the Russian military vehicles - to drive less. I am grateful to all our defenders, to all those who ensure the defense of Kyiv. It is their brave and effective actions that force the enemy to retreat in this direction.
However, we should not lose vigilance. The situation has not become easier. The scale of the challenges has not diminished. The Russian army still has significant potential to continue attacks against our state. They still have a lot of equipment and enough people completely deprived of rights whom they can send to the cauldron of war.
Therefore, we stay alert and do not reduce our defense efforts. Both in the north of our state and in all other regions of Ukraine, where Russian troops have temporarily entered. The defense of Ukraine is the number one task now, and everything else is derived from it.
It is on this basis that I consider the messages on the negotiation process, which is underway at various levels with representatives of the Russian Federation.
The enemy is still in our territory. The shelling of our cities continues. Mariupol is blocked. Missile and air strikes do not stop. This is the reality. These are the facts.
That is why the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our intelligence and all those who have joined the defense of the state are the only guarantee of our survival today. As a nation. As a state.
The guarantee that works.
Yes, we can call positive the signals we hear from the negotiating platform. But these signals do not silence the explosion of Russian shells.
Of course, we see all the risks. Of course, we see no reason to trust the words of certain representatives of a state that continues to fight for our destruction. Ukrainians are not naive people. Ukrainians have already learned during these 34 days of invasion and over the past eight years of the war in Donbas that only a concrete result can be trusted. The facts - if they change on our land.
Of course, Ukraine is willing to negotiate and will continue the negotiation process. To the extent that really depends on us. We expect to get the result. There must be real security for us, for our state, for sovereignty, for our people. Russian troops must leave the occupied territories. Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be guaranteed. There can be no compromise on sovereignty and our territorial integrity. And there will not be any.
These are clear principles. This is a clear vision of the possible outcome. And to those on social networks who perceive words as if they are facts already, I want to remind one thing: we live in a democratic state and fight for our freedom. For freedom for our people.
Therefore, any decisions that are important for all our people must be made not by one person or a group of people with any political views, but by all our people. The wise people of Ukraine.
And certain countries should not even expect that certain negotiations will facilitate the lifting of sanctions against the Russian Federation. The question of sanctions cannot even be raised until the war is over, until we get back what’s ours and until we restore justice.
On the contrary, sanctions must be strengthened. Intensified weekly. And they must be effective. Not just for headlines in the media that sanctions have been imposed, but for real peace. Real.
And to ensure this, a team of Ukrainian and international experts has already begun work to assess the effectiveness of the sanctions imposed on Russia. On the Ukrainian side, this area is coordinated by Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak, and on the international side by Michael McFaul.
During the day the rescue operation was ongoing in Mykolaiv. The debris of the building of the regional administration destroyed by Russian missile strikes was dismantled. As of now, 8 people have been reported killed and 30 wounded. It is likely that these are not final figures.
The Russian troops hit Mykolaiv very insidiously. At a time when people came to their workplaces in the morning. Thank God, most of those in the building managed to evacuate when they heard an air alarm.
This one more act of the Russian so-called denazification of Mykolaiv took place in the morning after the anniversary of liberation of the city from Nazi invaders. Mykolaiv residents remember the day of March 28, 1944. And they see who the Russian troops trying to capture their city now look like.
I spoke about Mykolaiv today in my address to the Danish Parliament and the Danish people. I invited the society of this country to take part in the reconstruction of the city and the region after the war. In the framework of our program of Ukraine's reconstruction, we involve partner states, leading companies and the best specialists in order to guarantee the speed and quality of the reconstruction of our state.
As I was told, this proposal was very positively received in Denmark.
There is also important news from our government officials. As of today, the new functionality of our "Diia" state service will be available. As I promised, the state will compensate for the loss of a house or apartment as a result of hostilities. Every citizen of ours can already submit an application in "Diia".
Applications are already available in the mobile application. You need to update the app to see this new service. And in a week it will be available offline - in the centers of administrative services. In itself, the functionality in "Diia" is quite convenient. But all the necessary details will still be clarified by our government.
The main thing is that the state will compensate for every meter of lost real estate.
In addition, government officials today expanded the program to help those institutions that support IDPs from the areas of hostilities.
Another important decision was to allocate 426 million hryvnias to pay the miners' salaries.
Traditionally, I signed several important decrees before delivering this evening address. The first is about awarding communications service employees. I am sincerely grateful to everyone who provides the fundamental basis of our lives. Who gives us connection.
By the way, on the day of the beginning of the Russian invasion, the first missile strike in the JFO area was made against them.
12 people were awarded state awards, 4 - posthumously.
The second signed decree is on awarding 126 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 34 of them - posthumously.
We will always be grateful to each of our defenders for the defense of our state in the Ukrainian Patriotic War against Russia.
May the memory of everyone who gave life for Ukraine live forever!
Glory to each of our heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!

A shot of the famous Wroclaw Dwarves. Over 300 of these diminuitive statues can be found around the city, some in the most unlikely of places. Despite the false perspective of this shot created by it's ground level viewpoint they're no more than about 8 or 9 inches tall.

I went with group of people on Sunday and wished to take a picture like this. Our leader, Wenjie, has developed a mobile application PlanIt! and it can calculate when the moon will rise on the top of which building so that we could get a picture as we want. However, the clouds were so heavy that day and we didn't get any thing. On the way back he said if you would come back again next day, you could get it. He just made a few clicks on his application and sent me a plan. Next day, I went there by myself and stand on the spot as shown in his app. Sure enough, when the moon rise up, it touched the top of America Plaza building, which was precisely what was predicted by the app.
This is the same picture as I posted previously. But, I used HDR to bring up more details of the buildings.

An auto rickshaw or three-wheeler (tuk-tuk, trishaw, auto, rickshaw, autorick, bajaj, rick, tricycle, mototaxi, baby taxi or lapa in popular parlance) is a usually three-wheeled cabin cycle for private use and as a vehicle for hire. It is a motorized version of the traditional pulled rickshaw or cycle rickshaw. Auto rickshaws are an essential form of urban transport in many developing countries, and a form of novelty transport in many Eastern countries.
Auto rickshaws (often called just auto) are common all over India, and provide cheap and efficient transportation. New auto rickshaws run on CNG and are environmentally friendly. Typical mileage for an Indian-made auto rickshaw is around 35 kilometers per liter of petrol (about 2.9 L per 100 km, or 82 miles per gallon [United States (wet measure), 100 miles per gallon Imperial (United Kingdom, Canada)].
Painted Auto rickshaw in Sajanagarh, Baleswar, OrissaMany major nationalized banks in India offer loans to self-employed individuals seeking to buy auto rickshaws. Auto rickshaw manufacturers in India include Bajaj Auto, Kumar Motors, Kerala Auto Limited, Force Motors (previously Bajaj Tempo), Mahindra & Mahindra, Piaggio Ape and TVS Motors. Auto rickshaws are found in cities, villages and in the countryside.
A very old auto rickshaw in Bhedaghat, Madhya Pradesh.Such autos are the only means of public transport in some parts of rural IndiaThere are two types of autorickshaws in India. In older versions the engines were situated below driver's seat. In newer versions engines are in rear portion. They normally run on petrol, CNG and diesel. The seating capacity of a normal rickshaw is 4, including driver. There are also six-seater rickshaws in parts of Maharashtra. In cities and towns across India it is the backbone of city transport. Normally their fare rates are controlled by govt. They have traffic meters.
In July 1998, the Supreme Court of India ordered the Delhi government to implement CNG or LPG (Autogas) fuel for all autos and for the entire bus fleet in and around the city. Delhi's air quality has improved with the switch to CNG. Initially, auto rickshaw drivers in Delhi had to wait in long queues for CNG refueling, but the situation has improved with the increase of CNG stations. CNG autos were distinguishable from the erstwhile petrol-powered autos by having a green and yellow livery as opposed to the earlier black and yellow. Certain local governments are pushing for four-stroke engines instead of the current two-stroke versions.
On february 11 2012, a website was launched based on public interest to reveal the auto fares for the southern cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore. The beta version website is www.meterpodu.in. Here in the website even migrants can update the fares keeping their recent experience of travel between the specific areas, provided they should have an authenticated account in either facebook or twitter. The service of this site has extended for the cities like Mysore and Coimbatore. In this connection the service is yet to arrive as a mobile application in android phones.
The panelists with their residual self-image... =) The challenge: “What new trends will emerge in the next several years with the potential for explosive growth in about five years' time?” Five VCs are chosen by the Churchill Club to submit two Tech Trends, aggregating to a top 10 list. We then debate the issues on stage and the audience votes in real time.
I have done this for ten years now, and it gets progressively more difficult to come up with two new trends each year that are important, and non-obvious, and likely to come true.
This year, my fellow panelists were Bill Gurley of Benchmark, Jenny Lee of GGV, Rebecca Lynn of Canvas, and Shervin Pishevar of Sherpa Ventures. In the photo, we are flanked by Karlgaard and Upbin of Forbes magazine, the debate moderators.
Here is some of the press coverage:

and the full video: youtu.be/qQIu5UO6OZ8
Our 2015 Top 10 list
1. On-Demand Ambient Computing.
On-Demand Ambient Computing driven by AI will usher in a world of invisible computing that will drive efficiencies across many industries. Growth will come from API's/algorithms across mobile platforms; AI will predict human intent and deliver items/information at the speed of human thought. [Shervin Pishevar]
2. Traditional Banks Will Continue Losing Share to Startups while Bitcoin Fades in Relevance.
Financial-services institutions will continue to be disintermediated, and will either act as the back-end infrastructure or co-exist as they do in the Lending Club model. Meanwhile, Bitcoin as a currency and remittance solution will lose steam. [Rebecca Lynn]
3. The Virtual Me.
Advances in hardware and sensors and the adoption of connected devices will create an explosion of personal data in the next 5 years. With increased data processing capabilities and smarter predictive software, all this data will be aggregated into personal digital profiles – the virtual you – which will know even more about you than you do. [Jenny Lee]
4. The Skynet Economy: broadband access for the unconnected billions.
From thousands of satellites orbiting around the poles, and new airborne transponders, the entire Earth will be bathed in broadband, bringing an unprecedented influx of human talent to the global economy. [Steve Jurvetson]
5. The End of the Auto Nation.
For the better part of a century, the United States has designed its cities around the notion of individual car ownership. This has resulted in massive waste, congestion, pollution, long commute times, remarkably underutilized capital assets, and over 30,000 deaths per year. Suburban sprawl reached its ultimate limit, and the trends are all rebounding around a new urbanization. [Bill Gurley]
6. 5th Mode of Transportation.
5th Mode of Transportation will be unlocked in the next 5 years. Technologies like Hyperloop will skip over 19th and 20th century transportation modes and do what wireless mobile communication did to fixed line telecommunications in places like Africa. [Shervin Pishevar]
7. Reemergence of Women in Tech.
In the next 5 years, 50% of computer-science students will be women – surpassing the previous high set in 1984. This means you’ll increasingly see more female technology startup founders and Fortune-500 CEOs. [Rebecca Lynn]
8. The Economy of Me.
By 2020, mobile will bring the next 2 billion people online and make the online economy more powerful than the offline. This shift will breed decentralized business models. Commerce and services will skip the middle man and revolve around the individual consumer. Welcome to the personal economy. [Jenny Lee]
9. Rise of the Robocars: Driven by a Machine [the winning trend].
By 2020 we will no longer debate the inevitability of autonomous electric vehicles when we first experience the convenience and efficiency of urban autonomous driving services. [Steve Jurvetson]
10. The Native Mobile Application Platform Dominates the “Mobile Web”.
Consumers drastically prefer mobile applications to the mobile web because they are WAY better. The majority of incremental Internet users will be exclusively on smartphones. The aging search/browser platform will be stifled as a fertile ground for new innovation. [Bill Gurley]
Following up on our debate about the inevitability of autonomous electric vehicles, the IMF just released a study tabulating the subsidy that fossil fuel companies receive: over $14 billion per day. "The IMF calls the revelation shocking and says the figure is an extremely robust estimate of the true cost of fossil fuels. The $5.3tn subsidy estimated for 2015 is greater than the total health spending of all the world’s governments."

The App focuses on sharing precise information, locations and focal points related to Ebola with the public and organizations.
Official news and key points on the map are available to the public.
Organizations have specific features for sharing useful information with staff on the ground and other organizations, including contact and information repositories. These features are dedicated to organizations and protected by login/password combination.
Available for Android devices via the Google Play Store and will soon be available for iOS devices via the Apple App Store.
When I began to enjoy birding, I, like a decent amount of other people, assumed that birds find remote areas to be more desirable than they do public parks; as humans tend to occupy public parks and wild birds generally avoid interaction with humans when possible, I believed that the birds would consider the great number of humans and not be frequently encountered at public parks, and, as such, I typically visited the locations which are relatively remote and tend to be devoid of humans; however, the encountering of a great number of birds was a rare event at many of these locations, and, at some, no birds were visible; after visiting many locations with little luck, I decided that the act of searching for birds at a public park could not possibly be more fruitless than were some of my experiences at public parks, and I was correct; since I began birding, I have never failed to notice the existence of a bird while attending a public park.
On the twenty-eighth day of the month of April of 2019, I arrived at a public park, and, following my arrival, my attention was seized by several eastern phoebes, who, being flycatchers, were presumably attempting to catch some flying insects; these individuals were too distant and swift to be photographed by me, although I did observe their behaviour as I walked toward a peninsula at which some Canada geese had previously roosted; however, when I reached my destination, only a single goose remained, and, after noticing me, this solitary individual repeatedly honked, then flew into the water, prompting my abandonment of this area of the public park in favour of a grassier section at which some chipping sparrows were vocalising and foraging, and, because I do adore Spizella passerina, I neared these individuals for the purpose of increasing the likelihood of the creation of a decent photograph, although they must have known of my plan, for they fled, although they did later return to the area which they had previously occupied. After startling these individuals, I heard the alarm chips of another small sparrow, whom I approached, and who treated me in the same manner; because I understood that the photographing of chipping sparrows can result in the onset of insanity and a decreased ability to manage one's anger, I decided to sit for a few moments and await a different subject, and, while I sat on a bench which was inherently uncomfortable, an eastern phoebe nearly collided with me as he chased a small insect, a near-accident which I only comprehended after its occurrence, which preceded the rustling of some shrubbery which, as I wished to capture a decent photograph, was shortly thereafter approached by me, resulting in my receiving of the gaze of a tiny grey songbird, who, after having seen me, perched on an open, eye-level branch and took the role of the perfect subject until I focused on him, an action which he appeared to understand, as he flew to a different and more obstructed branch of a separate tree, resulting in my emission of various profane words; the photograph which I would shortly create could not possibly be as good as would be that which would have been created if he had stayed on the exposed branch; however, I understood that mild frustration was not the answer to this problem, and I removed this response, then moved to the tree in which the individual, who was previously suspected to be one of the Parulidae, was singing. The tiny bird did not appear to be fazed by my presence, as he continued to sing until he gained awareness of the raising of my DSLR camera, when he momentarily paused his song but did not move to a position at which he could not be a good subject; this sufficiently pleased me to result in the capturing of tens of photographs of which the male is the subject, and, after viewing the photograph which warranted this description, I saw that it was good, and, in my typical fashion, I thanked the tiny bird for his time but continued to observe his behaviour.
Although I had assumed that the subject was a member of Parulidae, I had not managed to pinpoint his species; because of this, my father, with whom I visited the park, withdrew from his pocket his mobile phone and executed the mobile application of the National Audubon Society for the purpose of using its identification feature; after he received some of the details pertaining to the subject and omitting from the results doubtless negatives, my initial identification was revealed to be incorrect; being a warbling vireo (Vireo gilvus), the wrongly-identified bird was a member of Vireonidae, as opposed to Parulidae, which led to the comprehension of my first known meeting with a vireo.
As always, constructive criticism pertaining to this photograph, my writing, or any of my other photographs would be joyfully received by me, because I rather strongly wish to improve the quality of my photography. The sugar-coating of criticism directed at my creations, or even me as a person, is unnecessary, and it often simply causes the man who criticised my work to appear to have been uncertain about the legitimacy of the criticism which he gave to me. Although I attempt to extract everything which is beneficial for me from every situation in which I am involved, the lack of confidence which is displayed by those who vigorously attempt to remove any offensiveness from their criticisms leads to my suspicion of the lack of advice which would affect my creations positively. Please verbosely explain to me any flaws which are present in this photograph and were directly caused by me, e.g., clipping highlights or shadows, if they are noticed.
Santa Maria de Ovila is a former Cistercian monastery built in Spain beginning in 1181 on the Tagus River near Trillo, Guadalajara, about 90 miles (140 km) northeast of Madrid. During prosperous times over the next four centuries, construction projects expanded and improved the small monastery. Its fortunes declined significantly in the 1700s, and in 1835 it was confiscated by the Spanish government and sold to private owners who used its buildings to shelter farm animals. American publisher William Randolph Hearst bought parts of the monastery in 1931 with the intention of using its stones in the construction of a grand and fanciful castle at Wyntoon, California, but after some 10,000 stones were removed and shipped, they were abandoned in San Francisco for decades. These stones are now in various locations around California: the old church portal has been reassembled at the University of San Francisco, and the chapter house is being reassembled by Trappist monks at the Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina, California. In Spain, the new government of the Second Republic declared the monastery a National Monument in June 1931, but not in time to prevent the mass removal of stones. Today, the remnant buildings and walls stand on private farmland. (more...)
RKO Pictures is an American film production and distribution company. It was one of the Big Five studios of Hollywood's Golden Age. The business was formed after the Keith-Albee-Orpheum (KAO) theater chains and Joseph P. Kennedy's Film Booking Offices of America (FBO) studio were brought together under the control of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in October 1928. RKO has long been celebrated for its cycle of musicals starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the mid- to late 1930s. Actors Katharine Hepburn and, later, Robert Mitchum had their first major successes at the studio. Cary Grant was a mainstay for years. The work of producer Val Lewton's low-budget horror unit and RKO's many ventures into the field now known as film noir have been acclaimed by film critics and historians. The studio produced two of the most famous films in motion picture history: King Kong (poster pictured) and Citizen Kane. Maverick industrialist Howard Hughes took over RKO in 1948. After years of decline under his control, the studio was acquired by the General Tire and Rubber Company in 1955. The original RKO Pictures ceased production in 1957 and was effectively dissolved two years later. (more...)

Jay Farrar was a founding member of Uncle Tupelo and his decision to leave the band resulted in the band's breakup.
Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar (pictured), Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band due to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco. Although Uncle Tupelo broke up before they achieved commercial success, the band is renowned for its impact on the alternative country music scene. The group's first album, No Depression, became a byword for the genre and was widely influential. Uncle Tupelo's sound was unlike popular country music of the time, drawing inspiration from styles as diverse as the hardcore punk of The Minutemen and the country instrumentation and harmony of the Carter Family and Hank Williams. Farrar and Tweedy lyrics frequently referred to Middle America and the working class of Belleville. (more...)

Courageous photographed during World War I
The Courageous class comprised three battlecruisers built for the Royal Navy during World War I. Nominally designed to support Admiral of the Fleet Lord John Fisher's Baltic Project, which was intended to land troops on the German Baltic Coast, ships of this class were fast but very lightly armoured with only a few heavy guns. To maximize their speed, the Courageous-class battlecruisers were the first capital ships of the Royal Navy to use geared steam turbines and small-tube boilers. The first two ships, Courageous and Glorious, were commissioned in 1917 and spent the war patrolling the North Sea. Their half-sister Furious was designed with a pair of 18-inch (457 mm) guns, the largest guns ever fitted on a ship of the Royal Navy, but was modified during construction to take a flying-off deck and hangar in lieu of her forward gun turret and barbette. All three ships were laid up after the end of the war and were rebuilt as aircraft carriers during the 1920s. (more...)

Sunset on Ganoga Lake
Ganoga Lake is a natural lake in Colley Township in southeast Sullivan County in Pennsylvania, United States. The Ricketts family purchased the lake in the early 1850s, and built a stone house on the lake shore by 1852 or 1855; this served as a hunting lodge and tavern. R. Bruce Ricketts added the lake to his extensive holdings after the American Civil War, and in 1873 built a large wooden addition north of the stone house, which became the North Mountain House hotel. The hotel had one of the first summer schools in the United States in 1876 and 1877. After the death of R. Bruce Ricketts in 1918, his heirs sold much of his 80,000 acres (32,000 ha) to the state for Pennsylvania State Game Lands and Ricketts Glen State Park. The state tried to purchase the lake in 1957, but was outbid by investors who turned the land around it into a private housing development; as such it is "off limits" to the public. Ganoga Lake is on the Allegheny Plateau, just north of the Allegheny Front, in sedimentary rocks from the Pocono Formation. The Wisconsin Glaciation some 20,000 years ago changed the drainage patterns of the lake; this diverted its waters to Kitchen Creek and carved the 24 named waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park in the process.

The Stolt Kittiwake heading toward the Mersey Estuary, 2005
The Manchester Ship Canal is a river navigation 36 miles (58 km) long in the North West of England. Starting at the Mersey Estuary near Liverpool, it generally follows the original routes of the rivers Mersey and Irwell through the historic counties of Cheshire and Lancashire. Major landmarks along its route include the Barton Swing Aqueduct and Trafford Park. By the late 19th century the Mersey and Irwell Navigation had fallen into disrepair and was often unusable, and Manchester's business community viewed Liverpool's dock and the railway companies' charges as excessive. A ship canal was proposed as a way of giving ocean-going vessels direct access to Manchester. Construction began in 1887; it took six years and cost about £15 million. When the ship canal opened in January 1894 it was the largest river navigation canal in the world. Although it enabled the newly created Port of Manchester to become Britain's third busiest portdespite the city being about 40 miles (64 km) inlandthe canal never achieved the commercial success its sponsors had hoped for. Ships often returned to sea loaded with ballast rather than goods for export, and gradually the balance of traffic moved to the west, resulting in the closure of the terminal docks at Salford. As of 2011, traffic had decreased from its peak in 1958 of 18 million long tons (20 million short tons) of freight each year to about 7 million long tons (7.8 million short tons). The canal is now privately owned by Peel Ports. (more...)

Illustration from William J. Long's School of the Woods (1902), showing an otter teaching her young to swim
The nature fakers controversy was an early 20th-century American literary debate highlighting the conflict between science and sentiment in popular nature writing. Following a period of growing interest in the natural world beginning in the late 19th century, a new literary movement, in which the natural world was depicted in a compassionate rather than realistic light, began to take shape. Works such as Ernest Thompson Seton's Wild Animals I Have Known (1898) and William J. Long's School of the Woods (1902) popularized this new genre and emphasized sympathetic and individualistic animal characters. In March 1903, naturalist and writer John Burroughs published an article entitled "Real and Sham Natural History" in the Atlantic Monthly. Lambasting writers for their seemingly fantastical representations of wildlife, he also denounced the booming genre of realistic animal fiction as "yellow journalism of the woods". Burroughs' targets responded in defense of their work in various publications, as did their supporters, and the resulting controversy raged in the public press for nearly six years. Dubbed the "War of the Naturalists", the controversy effectively ended when President Theodore Roosevelt publicly sided with Burroughs, publishing his article "Nature Fakers" in the September 1907 issue of Everybody's Magazine. Roosevelt popularized the negative colloquialism by which the controversy would later be known to describe one who purposefully fabricates details about the natural world. (more...)

AT&T today announced plans to launch five new devices from Dell, HTC and Motorola based on the Android platform. The company also announced a major initiative to expand the universe of mobile applications beyond smartphones to more mobile phones – and spur future app development for emerging consumer electronics devices, its U-verse TV platform, and enterprise and small business workplaces.
At the 4th annual AT&T Developer Summit in Las Vegas, executives outlined details including:
* New devices that will give customers the most robust choices of major operating systems (OS), including Android™, in the U.S.
* A goal to offer all major smartphone OS app stores
* An agreement with Qualcomm to standardize apps development for mid-range Quick Messaging Devices using BREW Mobile Platform. These devices are used by millions of customers who historically have not had the same convenient access as smartphone customers to the market’s hottest apps
* A new AT&T SDK (software developer kit) to help developers immediately begin to develop apps for these devices
* A significantly enhanced developer program and new relationships with global carriers that are intended to make it easier for developers to distribute apps in markets outside the U.S.
* Future initiatives to enable developers to create more apps for AT&T’s U-verse TV, emerging consumer electronics devices, and businesses
* A new AT&T Virtual Innovation Lab and two new Innovation Centers, which will help developers and spur apps development
“Applications help consumers realize the full value and benefits of mobile broadband networks, services and devices,” said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. “Today some AT&T customers can take advantage of more than 100,000 apps – but only if they have the right handset. Our goal is to bring more apps to millions more of our customers who want convenient access to the market’s hottest apps. At the same time, in the future, we plan to go well beyond mobile devices to spur apps development.”
In addition to ultimately giving more customers more choices of applications, the long-term strategic initiatives announced today will make it easier for developers to cost effectively create applications and reach broader audiences, and help AT&T drive data revenues.
Extend Smartphone Leadership
AT&T will further its leadership in smartphones with the planned launch of five new devices from Dell, HTC and Motorola based on the Android platform. Those devices, which are scheduled to be available during the first half of 2010, include:
* A Motorola smartphone, powered by MOTOBLUR, with a unique form factor and an AT&T exclusive
* Dell’s first smartphone, based on the Android platform and an AT&T exclusive
* A HTC smartphone, based on the Android platform, and an AT&T exclusive
AT&T customers with these devices will benefit not only from the nation’s fastest 3G network but also the ability to simultaneously talk on the phone while surfing the Web or reading email. Customers can sign up for email notifications as more details are available at www.att.com/android.
In addition, AT&T announced its goal to lead the industry in application choices for smartphone customers by offering all major app stores. It will preload the corresponding store for each device -- giving customers convenient access to thousands of apps optimized for their smartphone. Today, AT&T added to existing agreements with Nokia for Ovi store and Microsoft for Windows Marketplace by announcing an agreement for Android Market. It expects to announce more app store agreements in the near future and will offer carrier billing as an easy and convenient payment option for as many stores as possible.
‘Apps for All’ by Standardizing Apps Development with Brew Mobile Platform
De la Vega also announced a significant new agreement with Qualcomm to standardize apps development by adopting BREW Mobile Platform. With this agreement, AT&T intends to make BREW Mobile Platform its primary operating system platform for Quick Messaging Devices, one of the company’s fastest growing categories of devices.
AT&T customers with these devices historically haven’t had the same convenient access as AT&T smartphone customers to thousands of compelling, new applications. Since AT&T launched its pioneering line-up of Quick Messaging Devices in fall 2008, about 30 percent of the company’s postpaid customers who are new or upgrading have purchased this type of device. AT&T is committed to spurring innovation and apps development for the millions of customers in this category.
Quick Messaging Devices are integrated devices that are value priced and texting centric; they have full QWERTY keyboards, either physical or virtual, and, since this past fall, full Web browsing capabilities. Customers with these devices are more likely to demand apps, subscribe to messaging and data plans, and are a large potential market for application developers, according to AT&T research.
AT&T Chief Marketing Officer David Christopher announced plans to begin rolling out Quick Messaging Devices with BREW Mobile Platform in the second half of the year, so that by year end 2011, about 90 percent of AT&T’s devices in this segment are planned to be based on BREW Mobile Platform. AT&T announced that Samsung will be its first device maker to launch a Quick Messaging Device featuring BREW Mobile Platform. HTC, LG and Pantech also are building devices featuring BREW Mobile Platform for planned availability in late 2010 or early 2011.
“Today, developers must essentially rebuild apps for different handsets and operating systems, increasing their costs, slowing the pace of innovation and stalling the delivery of mobile apps to customers,” Christopher said. “We want to tear down the barriers and make it much easier for developers to reach our customers – and for our customers to access apps. Moving to one platform for this fast growing segment of devices will help developers reach millions more customers who want easy access to the hottest mobile apps.”
To help developers jumpstart apps development for AT&T’s BREW Mobile Platform devices, Christopher announced a new AT&T SDK which features support for BREW Mobile Platform, continued support for Java and widgets, and includes tools to help developers tap into AT&T network capabilities as they design and code their applications. The new AT&T SDK is available starting today at sdk.developer.att.com.
Taking the AT&T Developer Program to the Next Level
AT&T has a longstanding commitment to the developer community. It was among the first major carriers to offer a developer program and has been rated the top carrier development program for the past three years by Evans Data. Today, AT&T executives also announced plans, including some launch schedules, for a series of new or enhanced developer resources including:
Technical support for developers via live chat -- something no other carrier, operating system provider or handset maker offers today – and a tripling of overall tech support by mid-2010.
* Revenue share featuring a standardized 70/30 split for third-party developers in the AT&T App Center.
* AT&T Sandbox, a virtual network environment for developers to test and evaluate applications, which is planned to be available in 2Q 2010.
* AT&T Developer Dashboard, a tool that will let developers track the status of their app once submitted to AT&T, support digital signing of business agreements with AT&T, allow developers to set prices for their apps, and provide performance metrics and customer satisfaction feedback. The dashboard is available now for enterprise application developers and the certification of emerging devices. And for AT&T’s consumer development community, the dashboard will also provide needed automation which is planned for the first quarter of 2010.
* New marketing and referral relationships announced today between AT&T and other global carriers using GSM, the de facto world standard for wireless technology. The companies intend to create streamlined processes that help developers make their applications available to their combined base of hundreds of millions of customers.
* AT&T Developer Council, an advisory group hosted by AT&T and made up of leading development and technology companies and other influencers, such as EA Games, Telenav and Bonfire Media.
AT&T also announced a trial program with WaveMarket to make network location information accessible through Veriplace, WaveMarket’s cloud location aggregation platform currently in use by more than 1,000 developers. Veriplace allows SMS, Web, WAP and IVR developers to develop location-aware apps and services across device categories and participating carriers. The trial program will launch in the coming weeks.
AT&T Chief Technology Officer John Donovan also said that a new AT&T Virtual Innovation Lab will open in Atlanta in the second quarter to provide developer support for speech, location and messaging APIs (application programming interfaces). In addition, two new Innovation Centers, one in the East and one in the West, are planned for late 2010 to provide 3G and 4G RF (radio frequency) development support, testing and demos.
Santa Maria de Ovila is a former Cistercian monastery built in Spain beginning in 1181 on the Tagus River near Trillo, Guadalajara, about 90 miles (140 km) northeast of Madrid. During prosperous times over the next four centuries, construction projects expanded and improved the small monastery. Its fortunes declined significantly in the 1700s, and in 1835 it was confiscated by the Spanish government and sold to private owners who used its buildings to shelter farm animals. American publisher William Randolph Hearst bought parts of the monastery in 1931 with the intention of using its stones in the construction of a grand and fanciful castle at Wyntoon, California, but after some 10,000 stones were removed and shipped, they were abandoned in San Francisco for decades. These stones are now in various locations around California: the old church portal has been reassembled at the University of San Francisco, and the chapter house is being reassembled by Trappist monks at the Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina, California. In Spain, the new government of the Second Republic declared the monastery a National Monument in June 1931, but not in time to prevent the mass removal of stones. Today, the remnant buildings and walls stand on private farmland. (more...)
RKO Pictures is an American film production and distribution company. It was one of the Big Five studios of Hollywood's Golden Age. The business was formed after the Keith-Albee-Orpheum (KAO) theater chains and Joseph P. Kennedy's Film Booking Offices of America (FBO) studio were brought together under the control of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) in October 1928. RKO has long been celebrated for its cycle of musicals starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the mid- to late 1930s. Actors Katharine Hepburn and, later, Robert Mitchum had their first major successes at the studio. Cary Grant was a mainstay for years. The work of producer Val Lewton's low-budget horror unit and RKO's many ventures into the field now known as film noir have been acclaimed by film critics and historians. The studio produced two of the most famous films in motion picture history: King Kong (poster pictured) and Citizen Kane. Maverick industrialist Howard Hughes took over RKO in 1948. After years of decline under his control, the studio was acquired by the General Tire and Rubber Company in 1955. The original RKO Pictures ceased production in 1957 and was effectively dissolved two years later. (more...)

Jay Farrar was a founding member of Uncle Tupelo and his decision to leave the band resulted in the band's breakup.
Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar (pictured), Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band due to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco. Although Uncle Tupelo broke up before they achieved commercial success, the band is renowned for its impact on the alternative country music scene. The group's first album, No Depression, became a byword for the genre and was widely influential. Uncle Tupelo's sound was unlike popular country music of the time, drawing inspiration from styles as diverse as the hardcore punk of The Minutemen and the country instrumentation and harmony of the Carter Family and Hank Williams. Farrar and Tweedy lyrics frequently referred to Middle America and the working class of Belleville. (more...)

Courageous photographed during World War I
The Courageous class comprised three battlecruisers built for the Royal Navy during World War I. Nominally designed to support Admiral of the Fleet Lord John Fisher's Baltic Project, which was intended to land troops on the German Baltic Coast, ships of this class were fast but very lightly armoured with only a few heavy guns. To maximize their speed, the Courageous-class battlecruisers were the first capital ships of the Royal Navy to use geared steam turbines and small-tube boilers. The first two ships, Courageous and Glorious, were commissioned in 1917 and spent the war patrolling the North Sea. Their half-sister Furious was designed with a pair of 18-inch (457 mm) guns, the largest guns ever fitted on a ship of the Royal Navy, but was modified during construction to take a flying-off deck and hangar in lieu of her forward gun turret and barbette. All three ships were laid up after the end of the war and were rebuilt as aircraft carriers during the 1920s. (more...)

Sunset on Ganoga Lake
Ganoga Lake is a natural lake in Colley Township in southeast Sullivan County in Pennsylvania, United States. The Ricketts family purchased the lake in the early 1850s, and built a stone house on the lake shore by 1852 or 1855; this served as a hunting lodge and tavern. R. Bruce Ricketts added the lake to his extensive holdings after the American Civil War, and in 1873 built a large wooden addition north of the stone house, which became the North Mountain House hotel. The hotel had one of the first summer schools in the United States in 1876 and 1877. After the death of R. Bruce Ricketts in 1918, his heirs sold much of his 80,000 acres (32,000 ha) to the state for Pennsylvania State Game Lands and Ricketts Glen State Park. The state tried to purchase the lake in 1957, but was outbid by investors who turned the land around it into a private housing development; as such it is "off limits" to the public. Ganoga Lake is on the Allegheny Plateau, just north of the Allegheny Front, in sedimentary rocks from the Pocono Formation. The Wisconsin Glaciation some 20,000 years ago changed the drainage patterns of the lake; this diverted its waters to Kitchen Creek and carved the 24 named waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park in the process.

The Stolt Kittiwake heading toward the Mersey Estuary, 2005
The Manchester Ship Canal is a river navigation 36 miles (58 km) long in the North West of England. Starting at the Mersey Estuary near Liverpool, it generally follows the original routes of the rivers Mersey and Irwell through the historic counties of Cheshire and Lancashire. Major landmarks along its route include the Barton Swing Aqueduct and Trafford Park. By the late 19th century the Mersey and Irwell Navigation had fallen into disrepair and was often unusable, and Manchester's business community viewed Liverpool's dock and the railway companies' charges as excessive. A ship canal was proposed as a way of giving ocean-going vessels direct access to Manchester. Construction began in 1887; it took six years and cost about £15 million. When the ship canal opened in January 1894 it was the largest river navigation canal in the world. Although it enabled the newly created Port of Manchester to become Britain's third busiest portdespite the city being about 40 miles (64 km) inlandthe canal never achieved the commercial success its sponsors had hoped for. Ships often returned to sea loaded with ballast rather than goods for export, and gradually the balance of traffic moved to the west, resulting in the closure of the terminal docks at Salford. As of 2011, traffic had decreased from its peak in 1958 of 18 million long tons (20 million short tons) of freight each year to about 7 million long tons (7.8 million short tons). The canal is now privately owned by Peel Ports. (more...)

Illustration from William J. Long's School of the Woods (1902), showing an otter teaching her young to swim
The nature fakers controversy was an early 20th-century American literary debate highlighting the conflict between science and sentiment in popular nature writing. Following a period of growing interest in the natural world beginning in the late 19th century, a new literary movement, in which the natural world was depicted in a compassionate rather than realistic light, began to take shape. Works such as Ernest Thompson Seton's Wild Animals I Have Known (1898) and William J. Long's School of the Woods (1902) popularized this new genre and emphasized sympathetic and individualistic animal characters. In March 1903, naturalist and writer John Burroughs published an article entitled "Real and Sham Natural History" in the Atlantic Monthly. Lambasting writers for their seemingly fantastical representations of wildlife, he also denounced the booming genre of realistic animal fiction as "yellow journalism of the woods". Burroughs' targets responded in defense of their work in various publications, as did their supporters, and the resulting controversy raged in the public press for nearly six years. Dubbed the "War of the Naturalists", the controversy effectively ended when President Theodore Roosevelt publicly sided with Burroughs, publishing his article "Nature Fakers" in the September 1907 issue of Everybody's Magazine. Roosevelt popularized the negative colloquialism by which the controversy would later be known to describe one who purposefully fabricates details about the natural world. (more...)
