This is Bruno Zacchini's Super Repeating Cannon. It resides in the Museum of the Circus in Sarasota, Florida.
"Flying isn't the hard part; landing in the net is" - Mario Zacchini
John Ringling saw the Zacchinis perform at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, where he signed Hugo and Bruno (brothers) Zacchinni for the 1929 season of Ringling Brothers Circus. Over the years, the Zachinni family has dominated the human cannonball tradition. From the earliest 1900s, the Zachini brothers and their children have amazed thousands with their death-defying performance.
In 1946-47, the first Super-repeating cannon was designed and built by Bruno Zacchini with the assistance of his brother, Teobaldo in Sarasota. They used a GMC truck as the base. Bruno's daughter, Silvana, at the age of 16, became the first woman to be shot from this cannon. Later she was joined by her aunt, Simone Loyal, as a double human cannon ball act. Hugo was the last of the family members to take flight on August 29, 1991. The Zacchini's also suffered several serious accidents, including one, where two of them collided in mid air having been simultaneously shot from opposing cannons.
In 1961, this particular cannon would shoot 2 performers nearly 140' through the air in seconds of each other at speeds of 125 mph. The cannon is 37' long including the cab, 8' wide, and 20' high with the barrel raised. It is mounted on a Mack truck.
The operating mechanism has been removed--it remains a closely guarded family secret.
The cannon was made available to the museum through the courtesy of Silvana Zacchini Meluza.

La actualización del plan y los programas de estudio del sistema del Colegio de Ciencias y Humanidades de la UNAM se encontraría bastante lejos de las prioridades que manifiesta parte de la comunidad estudiantil y académica. Mientras que las autoridades tienen como prioridad ampliar la enseñanza del inglés, ofrecer cursos en línea y establecer como obligatoria la materia de educación física; estudiantes y maestros consultados priorizan el reforzamiento del aprendizaje de la lengua materna, la mejora de la infraestructura de los...

Al finalizar la movilización en defensa de la educación pública y gratuita, que conmemoró también el inicio de la huelga estudiantil de la UNAM durante el periodo de 1999, se dio lectura de varios posicionamientos y comunicados, en donde los estudiantes explicaron el clima represivo que se vive en la universidad, el cual han iniciado las autoridades universitarias en contra del movimiento estudiantil, tal es el caso de los compañeros de CCH Naucalpan que continúan expulsados por comenzar a difundir en qué consistía la reforma de los 12 puntos para los CCH´s.
Al finalizar el mitin y las participaciones solidarias de organizaciones sociales y otras escuelas; un grupo de estudiantes, dada la nula capacidad de respuesta de los funcionarios de rectoría, tomo unos metros del interior del edificio de esta institución para presionar y resolver las demandas de los estuantes de los Colegios de Ciencias y Humanidades, en cuanto a la reforma de los 8 puntos y la reinstalación de los 5 expulsados de CCH Naucalpan. Hasta la publicación de esta nota, una parte de un piso del edifico de rectoría continua tomado por estudiantes.
***Sobre la toma de Rectoría: Una mirada desde la ventana del los porqués.
¿Cuánto llevas estudiando en la UNAM? ¿Lo que llevas de la carrera?¿Desde el bachillerato? ¿Dónde estudiaste? ¿En una prepa harto solicitada? ¿en un CCH del estado de México?
***“¿Dónde están las autoridades? Ellas deberían estar aquí
“¿Dónde están las autoridades? Ellas deberían de estar aquí, intentando dialogar, así como nosotros, nomás es cosa de llegar y preguntarles a ellos qué es lo que pasa” dice desilusionada una joven estudiante de la Facultad de Derecho.
*** Relatorías del Caso de CCH Naucalpan
Debido al activismo estudiantil del Caso de los 5 expulsados por motivos políticos del CCH Naucalpan y de otros activistas, muchos de ellos menores de edad, funcionarios y empleados administrativos del plantel, todos ellos mayores de edad y con responsabilidades de funcionarios de Estado, han violado los derechos humanos de muchos estudiantes, inclusive no sólo en el aspecto de la discriminación por la forma de vestir o expresarse, sino incluso agrediendo físicamente a los estudiantes, entre ellos muchos menores de edad que por ignorancia o temor no levantan denuncias judiciales por estos hechos; situación que ha sido aprovechada por las autoridades del plantel para desarticular el activismo al que constitucionalmente tienen derecho los estudiantes tanto mayores como menores de edad.
*** Tribunal universitario no acepta pruebas, denuncia expulsada CCH .
*** No a la represión al interior de la UNAM (comunicado)
Debido a lo anterior, los abajo firmantes demandamos:
1. La reinstalación de los 6 expulsados del CCH Naucalpan.
2. El retiro de las denuncias penales en contra de quienes participan en la lucha emprendida por las y los estudiantes de los CCH´s.
3. El desistimiento al uso de la fuerza pública como medio de solución del conflicto en la UNAM.
4. El cese a la criminalización de la protesta social.
5. Poner fin a la campaña de desprestigio y criminalización en contra de Juan Uriel Sandoval Díaz.
6. La derogación de la reforma educativa neoliberal.
Hacemos un llamado a la solidaridad con las diversas formas de lucha honestas que empeñan esfuerzos en la construcción de una sociedad justa y digna.

Queremos compartirles algunas reflexiones generales de cómo es que tratamos de entender lo que pasa en el marco de la lucha por la educación pública y de calidad, para todas y todos.
La actual dinámica de acumulación que el sistema capitalista opera, pretende abarcar todos los aspectos de la vida. Su lógica de producir mercancías ocasiona distintas reacciones y efectos al interno de las sociedades.
Hoy de nueva cuenta, la educación está en la mira de este sistema que desprecia la vida.
***La Autonomía Universitaria a juicio
Problemática: Ante la percepción de una crisis ética en la Universidad con respecto a la ausencia de rigor para interpretar la definición del concepto de Autonomía Universitaria propiciada por las múltiples acepciones ideológicas es pertinente recurrir a la concepción filosófica; La hipótesis que se pretende defender no intenta eliminar la ya existente delimitación de Autonomía Universitaria, - vigente en las instituciones que así se nombran - , cuyos matices de cada una de las escuelas no se alejan de la concepción político-jurídica, por lo tanto la geografía no incide de forma fundamental en su captación.
Parece la palabra de moda, opinadores, profesionales y no tanto, la esgrimen a diestra y siniestra para referirse a grupos en particular, a personas que pintan, toman y destruyen todos los símbolos del poder que los oprime, o por lo menos con el que no están de acuerdo. Encapuchados o no, estudiantes y maestros han demostrado en las últimas semanas su oposición de manera por lo menos más radical a lo que estábamos acostumbrados. Ambos grupos, estudiantes del CCH Naucalpan y maestros de la CETEG en Guerrero, tienen algo en común; recurren a la violencia por la falta de diálogo (que sí lo han buscado) con las autoridades.

Photoshopcreatie. Ik had maar ruimte voor 12 etages op deze foto. De plannen gaan uit van 50 meter en dat zou dus 16 of 17 etages kunnen worden.
Als de plannen van de gemeente doorgaan ziet mijn straatje er over een paar jaar ongeveer zo uit!!!
In een van die flatjes rechts op deze foto woon ik .
De linker woontoren heb ik er zelf ingeshopt, hij staat er dus (nog) niet.
Tussen het bushokje uiterst links en de straat recht voor u ligt een stukje groen dat door velen wordt gezien als braakliggend terrein. Dit stukje is echter een monument, aangeboden aan Piet Vink bij zijn afscheid uit de Haagse gemeentepolitiek. Dit monument heet daarom "De Terp van Vink". .

Bijna heel Beach Resort Kijkduin is inmiddels verkocht aan projectontwikkelaar Q Vastgoed Creatie. Zij presenteerden onlangs hun ingrijpende nieuwbouwplannen voor Kijkduin - zie deze website www.hetnieuwekijkduin.nl - en de uitdrukkelijke wens van de gemeente om in deze buurt meer woningen te bouwen is op dit monument een hoogteaccent (we mogen een flatgebouw van 50 meter geen hoogbouw noemen van Marnix Norder) gepland. In deze buurt moeten volgens de huidige plannen 800 tot 1000 nieuwe woningen komen. Wethouder Marnix Norder is een verre opvolger en partijgenoot van Piet Vink en wil dus op een monument ter ere van zijn verre voorganger een wolkenkrabber neerzetten.
De buurt protesteert natuurlijk op volle toeren, voornamelijk tegen die enorme hoogbouw. Bij het verschijnen van het plan, enkele maanden geleden, heeft het Algemeen Dagblad (vroeger gewoon de Haagse Courant) een informatiebijeenkomst in het Atlantic Hotel georganiseerd. Het hotel was te klein, politie en beveiliging moesten ingeschakeld worden. Marnix Norder kon uitleggen wat hij wilde, aan het eind van de avond stak niemand een hand omhoog toen de AD-presentator vroeg of er nu meer begrip voor de plannen van Norder was. De gemeenteraad heeft het struktuurplan (of zoiets) inmiddels wel aangenomen en binnen afzienbare tijd worden de plannen voorgelegd aan bewoners, gebruikers en belanghebbenden. Dit wekt de suggestie dat er nog inspraak mogelijk is.
Wij zijn er klaar voor.

The Collector Earl's Garden (Arundel Castle), Opened by HRH The Prince of Wales on 14th May 2008.
The new formal garden at Arundel has been conceived as a light-hearted tribute to Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel (1585-1646), known as ‘The Collector’. He died in exile in Padua during the English Civil War and though his body was brought back to England and buried in the Fitzalan Chapel at Arundel, the elaborate tomb which he had specified in his will was never erected. This garden, adjoining the church, may now be an appropriate memorial for the future.

Arundel Castle in Arundel, West Sussex, England is a restored medieval castle. It was founded by Roger de Montgomery on Christmas Day 1067. Roger became the first to hold the earldom of Arundel by the graces of William the Conqueror. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries.
From the 11th century onward, the castle has served as a hereditary stately home and has been in the family of the Duke of Norfolk for over 800 years. It is still the principal seat of the Norfolk family.

Sequoiadendron giganteum (Lindl.) J.Buchholz, 1939 (Basionym Wellingtonia gigantea John Lindley, 1853)
Riesen- oder Bergmammutbaum, Giant Sequoia, Giant Redwood, Sierra Redwood, or Wellingtonia
(Mammutbaumregister Deutschland ID1582; Standort Bassinrasen im Altensteiner Innenpark
Der als „Theaterherzog“ bekannte Georg II. von Sachsen-Meiningen (1826 – 1914) übernahm bereits 1866 die Regierung des Herzogtums. Aber erst nach dem Tode seines Vaters, Bernhard II im Jahre 1882 begann er mit der Umgestaltung des Altenstein nach seinen Vorstellungen. Er betraute den Oberhofgärtner Viehweg Franz, Schwiegersohn des sachsen-weimarischen Garteninspektors und Gartenschriftstellers Hermann Jäger mit der Ausführung seiner Umgestaltungspläne: „Eine riesige, schön gewachsene Sequoia gigantea wurde aus den herzoglichen Anlagen des eine Stunde weit entfernten Bades Liebenstein mittels eines großen englischen Verpflanzwagens nach hier transportiert und entwickelte sich prächtig. Wer da weiß, welch unendliche Sorgfalt seitens des leitenden Fachmannes nötig war, eine exotische Konifere dieser Art oder diese Alters zu verpflanzen, der wird solche gärtnerische Großtat zu würdigen wissen.“ (Max Pohlig „Der Altensteiner Schlosspark in Sachsen-Meiningen – Ein landschaftliches Stimmungsgemälde aus den Thüringer Bergen“ Gartenwelt, Jg.13, Heft 22)
Das genaue Pflanzjahr wird zwar nicht benannt, doch die erfolgreiche Verpflanzaktion eines über 30 Jahre alten Mammutbaumes bedurfte einer mindestens 1-2 jährigen Vorbereitungszeit, so dass die Umpflanzung nach Altenstein vermutlich 1884/85 erfolgt sein dürfte. Das bisherigen Angaben zum Pflanzjahr um 1850 / 1865 sind insofern als unzutreffend anzusehen! jedenfalls für den heute dort befindlichen Mammutbaum. Jedoch ist nicht auszuschließen, dass bereits vor diesem Exemplar bereits früher Mammutbäume auf Altenstein gepflanzt worden waren. Im Nachklang der kleinen Eiszeit hatte es noch einige lang anhaltende und strenge Winter gegeben und nur das damals in Liebenstein gepflanzte Exemplar könnte diese als einziges überlebt haben. Wir wissen es nicht. Auch die ursprüngliche Herkunft des Altensteiner Mammutbaumes ist bislang noch ungeklärt.
Um den Altensteiner Mammutbaum hält sich das Gerücht, die englische Königin Adelheid (Queen Adelaide), Schwester des Herzogs Bernhard II, habe diesen als Geschenk (Sämling) aus England mitgebracht. Derartigen Gerüchten haftet oft etwas Wahres an. Adelheid war letztmalig 1848 in ihrer alten Heimat, ein Jahr vor ihrem Tode 1849. Die „Entdeckung“ der Riesenmammutbäume durch A. T. Dowd 1852 war jedenfalls nicht die erste Begegnung eines Europäers mit dieser Art. Im Jahr 1839 war in einem Buch – das zunächst weitgehend unbeachtet blieb – erstmals von 'unglaublich großen' Bäumen die Rede, welche die Teilnehmer einer Expedition unter der Leitung von Joseph R. Walker durch die Sierra Nevada im Jahre 1833 entdeckt hatten. Wirklich zur Kenntnis nahm man die Bäume jedoch erst aufgrund des 1852 erschienenen Zeitungsartikels über A. T. Dowd’s Entdeckung. Ebenso dürfte auch die Einführung in die europäische Gartenkultur bereits vor dem Jahre 1853 durch William Lobb sowie John D. Matthew erfolgt sein. So berichtet z. B. Joly 1883, dass John Barrington in einem persönlichen Gespräch erwähnte, dass er 1844 ein Packet Samen an seinen Vater nach in Irland geschickt hätte. Also ist es durchaus nicht auszuschließen, dass in Europäischen Parkanlagen die ersten Riesen-Mammutbäume bereits vor 1850 gepflanzt wurden. (Richard J. Hartesveldt et. all 1975 “The Giant sequoias of the Sierra Nevada” / JOLY, C. 1883. “The Wellingtonia in their natural state”)
Morphologische Unterschiede diese Exemplars zu anderen in Deutschland /Europa kultivierten Sequoiadendron könnten die Herkunft aus von einem andern Giant Sequoia Grove vermuten lassen.
Known as the "Theatre Duke" Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826 - 1914) took over in 1866, the government of the duchy. But only after the death of his father, Bernhard II in 1882 he began the transformation of the Altenstein (Old Stone) according to his ideas. He entrusted the upper head gardener Viehweg Franz, son of Saxony-Weimar garden inspector and garden writer Hermann Jäger with the execution of its restructuring plans: "A huge, beautiful grown Sequoia gigantea was from the ducal plants from the one hours distant Bad Liebenstein transported by a great English planting vehicle to here and developed magnificent. Who there knows what infinite care on the part of senior professional was necessary to transplant an exotic conifer of this kind or this age, will appreciate such a horticultural feat "(Max Pohlig „Der Altensteiner Schlosspark in Sachsen-Meiningen – Ein landschaftliches Stimmungsgemälde aus den Thüringer Bergen / The Altensteiner Castle Park in Saxony-Meiningen -. A scenic mood paintings from the Thuringian mountains" Gartenwelt, Vol 13, Issue 22)
The exact year of planting is not designated, but the successful planting action of an 30 year old sequoia tree needed to be at least 1-2 years of preparation, so that the transplanting to Altenstein should probably be done 1884/85. The existing information on the planting year to 1850/1865 so far are to be regarded as inaccurate! Anyway, for today there growing sequoia. However, it is possible that prior to this specimen earlier sequoia trees had been planted on old Stein already. In the reverberation of the Little Ice Age there had been some long-lasting and severe winters and the only time in Liebenstein planted specimen could have this sole survivor. We do not know. The initial origin of the Altenstein redwood is yet unclear.
To the the Altenstein Sequoia is maintains the rumor that the English Queen Adelaide (Königin Adelheid), sister of the Duke Bernhard II, have brought this as a gift (seedling) from England. Such rumors often adheres to some truth. Adelaide was the last time in 1848 in her native country, a year before her death in 1849.
The " discovery" of the giant redwoods by AT Dowd 1852 certainly was not the first encounter of a European in this species in 1839 was in a book - which remained largely unnoticed at first - the first time of ' incredible ' trees the speech which a participants had discovered expedition under the direction of Joseph R. Walker through the Sierra Nevada in 1833. Really they took note of the trees but only on the basis of the 1852 newspaper article published about AT Dowd 's discovery . Also be expected to be signed before 1853 by William Lobb and John D. Matthew , the introduction into the European garden culture . So reports eg Joly 1883 that John Barrington mentioned in an interview that he had in 1844 sent a packet of seeds to his father in Ireland. So it is quite possible that the first giant sequoia trees were planted before 1850 in European parks. ( Richard J. Hartesveldt et . All 1975 "The Giant sequoias of the Sierra Nevada " / Joly , C. 1883. "The Wellingtonia In Their natural state" )
Morphological differences this specimen to another in Germany / Europe cultivated Sequoiadendron might suggest the origin from another Giant Sequoia Grove.
An odd sign we saw in some Tube station. I have absolutely no idea what it actually refers to, but considering that I am a PHP developer by trade, this was quite funny to me.
"The People of Japan"
A Tribute By Tom Van Dorn

"How amazing are the Japanese people that, in the face of such disaster and chaos, they preserve their sense of community and dignity, and in the midst of all the grief and uncertainty they turn to caring and sharing.
It’s not the events that define our lives but the way we respond to them, and the way it shapes our spirit and our evolution.
May the great wave also be the wave of our compassion and giving."

Poroiba - Akau - Wigschool - Pruikenschool
The wigmen of the Huli people aren't like Western toupee manufacturers. They are wizards who only work with people who have fine heads of hair.
What a traditional wigman does is use ancient magic to make hair grow faster than normal so it can be cut off and turned into a wig. Evidently, magic - like hair restorer - doesn't work if the hair is long gone.
This singular way of making hairpieces is found in the Tari Valley, 2000m up in the Highlands of PNG, an area just starting to make the transition from the old ways of centuries past to the new ideas which have begun to flow from the outside world.
When I explored the villages and roadside markets around the lodge, most of the men I met were wearing caps, but a good number still went about their daily business dressed in the traditional wigs.
In fact many had not one but two wigs - a plain day wig shaped like an upturned bowl, and an ornate ceremonial wig decorated with bird feathers - possession of which, like ownership of many pigs or having more than one wife, is a sign of wealth and status.
As a result the wigmen are still much in demand. And, this being a place where magic is taken very seriously, they are deeply respected. The sign welcoming visitors to Tari Airport highlights the fact that the area is "Home to the Huli wigman."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huli_people
We bezoeken de pruikenschool van de Huli in het heel afgelegen en geïsoleerd dorpje Poroiba.
Dit is een 'school' met leerlingen en leraren dus. Eerst moeten de jongens toegelaten worden. De jongens moeten bevestigen dat ze nog geen sex gehad hebben met het andere geslacht. Dan worden ze ingewijd in de rituelen om het haar te laten groeien. Ten vroegste na 9 maand intens 'voeden' van de haren met gezang en hoofd besproeien, kan de leeraar oordelen of het haar klaar is voor een pruik. Dan volgt een eerste knipping. Genoeg haar dan voor een gewone pruik. Een volledige cyclus is 18 maand. De jongens blijven al die maanden ter plaatse en ze moeten maagd blijven. Sommige laten de haren groeien zo dat ze 2 pruiken hebben. Genoeg voor een ceremoniële pruik. Het is een statuussymbool.

Something like
The chapel now known as the "St. Anthony", is situated in a plantaforma on Fisherman's Beach in the town of Ericeira, forming the epicenter of the progression of the urban village. It is said today that divides north from south
On the history of the chapel, little is known, especially prior to sec. XVII. Some records show her as coeval to the Parish (sec XV), no traces recorded material this time.
It was the chapel of the House, the first near the Palace of the County. It is known that in 1609, it was the headquarters of the brotherhood of Our Lady of Good Voyage of the Men of the Sea and it followed from their sessions .. In 1645, became the Chapel of Our Lady of Good Voyage.
He was also in this chapel that served the Brotherhood of St. Anthony, brotherhood of unmarried girls.
It is curious that this chapel is well patron saint double, both with the same degree of importance.
Chapel of modest proportions singia is not only to worship but also a "lighthouse" signaling the entry of boats in the harbor of Praia dos Pescadores, serving it to the small bell placed in a niche in the wall of the west ..
In 1645 it was lined with polychrome tiles, funded by the offer of a ring of great value, forming different patterns, among which, on the triumphal arch, still retained a small log of Our Lady of Good Voyage and Child, surrounded six winged heads of angels, with the monograms of Christ, Mary and Joseph and dated 1634.
The original image of Our Lady of Good Voyage of major proportions, upholstered wood and polychrome, restored in 1761, was vandalized and thrown overboard in the night of 22 to 23 January 1912. This image just left the hand that gave the coast the next day and is now preserved in the museum of Santa Casa da Misericordia of Ericeira.
The current building is from the XVII Century, the results of the previous expansion, and one of the works was recorded in front of the doors - 1664. In 1993, he was subject aobras conservção and restoration of the carving, painting and gilding of the reredos. The choir has a balcony, turned wood poles that are repeated in the pulpit side of the chapel.
There are six pictures in the chapel, Our Lady of Good Voyage, flanked by images of Sto. Antonio on the right side and S. Vicente on the left, both dating from the eighteenth century, of small proportions, wood upholstered with great perfection and graceful, another image of Sto. Antonio has the highest proportion of XX fri, and ship in pianhas embedded in the wall, images of S. Peter and St. Catherine of Alexandria, also of the eighteenth century, upholstered wood. In the sacristy there is a sec arcaz the seventeenth / eighteenth and an image of S. Francis of Assisi dating without some
Today is celebrated the third weekend, week of August the festivities in honor of Our Lady of Good Voyage patron saint of fishermen of Ericeira.

A capela hoje mais conhecida como de "Santo António", situa-se numa plantaforma sobre a Praia dos Pescadores na Vila da Ericeira, formando o epicentro da progressão urbana da vila. Diz-se ainda hoje que divide o Norte do Sul.
Sobre a história da capela pouco se sabe, sobretudo anteriormente ao sec. XVII. Alguns registos apontam-na como coeva à Paroquial (sec XIV ou XV), não registando vestigios materiais dessa época.
Foi capela da Câmara, próximo do primeiro Paço do Concelho. Sabe-se que em 1609, já era sede das confrarias de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem dos Homens do Mar e nela decorriam as suas sessões.. Em 1645, passou a ser a Capela de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem.
Era também nesta capela que funcionava a Confraria de Santo António, confraria das raparigas solteiras.
É curioso notar que esta capela tem assim duplo orago, ambos com o mesmo grau de importância.
Capela de modestas proporções nao se singia apenas ao culto, mas também a "farol" assinalando a entrada dos barcos no porto da Praia dos Pescadores, servindo-se para isso do pequeno sino colocado num nicho na parede do lado poente..
Em 1645 foi forrada a azulejos policromos,custeados pela oferta de um anel de grande valor, formando padrões diversos, dos quais se destaca, sobre o arco triunfal, ainda hoje conservado, um pequeno registo de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem com o Menino, rodeado de seis cabeças aladas de anjos, com os monogramas de Cristo, Maria e José e datados de 1634.
A primitiva imagem de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem de maiores proporções, em madeira estofada e policroma, restaurada em 1761, foi vandalizada e lançada ao mar na noite de 22 para 23 de Janeiro de 1912. Desta imagem apenas restou a mão que deu a costa no dia seguinte e que se conserva actualmente no museu da Sta Casa da Misericordia da Ericeira.
O actual edificio é do sec XVII, resulta da ampliação do anterior, e uma das obras ficou registada nas portas da frontaria - 1664. Em 1993, foi sujeita aobras de conservção e restauro da talha, pintura e douramento do retábulo. O coro alto possui um varandim de madeira de postes torneados que se repetem no pulpito lateral da capela.
Existem na capela seis imagens, a de Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem, ladeada pelas imagens de Sto. António do lado direito e S. Vicente do lado esquerdo, ambas datadas do sec XVIII, de pequenas proporções , em madeira estofada com grande primor e graciosas, uma outra imagem de Sto.

Texto:
Cuidar e alimentar animais de rua é um direito nosso
Atuação retrógrada da vigilância sanitária em face da ausência de órgãos municipais especializados na tutela animal. O dever de cuidado dos animais comunitários e a proibição arbitrária de alimentá-los.”
No ano de 2011, significando um grande avanço para os gaúchos, entrou em vigor a Lei n. 11.1011, a qual criou a Secretaria Especial dos Direitos Animais (SEDA), com atuação no município de Porto Alegre.
Em pouco mais de um ano, os dados estatísticos já demonstravam o significado dessa vontade política de grande valia para o povo, que cada vez mais clamava pela atuação pública na tutela dos animais. Somando mais de 18 mil ações nesse período, a SEDA realizou, por meio de seus servidores, mais de 9.400 esterilizações, mais de 590 cirurgias outras, mais de 6.404 fiscalizações e 230 atendimentos, devido a denúncias, bem como cerca de 640 adoções, beneficiando animais resgatados, abandonados e até mesmo oriundos de colecionadores e protetores de animais.
Nesse panorama, verificam-se duas questões basilares. A primeira é o fato de que os dados vieram comprovar a premência que havia em Porto Alegre no sentido de ter um órgão realmente efetivo e especializado nesses cuidados. A segunda, abrange o tema que será brevemente abordado neste artigo, que diz quanto à inexistência, nas demais cidades rio-grandenses, de órgãos similares, demonstrando que a ausência de políticas públicas de proteção animal, tornam a atuação de outros órgãos públicos retrógradas e até mesmo arbitrárias, ferindo diretamente os direitos fundamentais dos cidadãos que protegem os animais, especialmente os comunitários.
A grande incidência de animais comunitários ganhou espaço frente ao crescimento das cidades, suas consequentes mudanças sociais, econômicas, jurídicas e ambientais e a desatualização, bem como a falta de especialização dos agentes públicos diante dessas alterações.
Muito embora existam legislações louváveis como o Estatuto do idoso2, a Lei dos Crimes Ambientais3 e a própria Constituição brasileira, cujas normas protegem os direitos fundamentais, como o direito à propriedade4, à liberdade e à igualdade5 , ainda assim entes municipais seguidamente têm atuado contra a proteção animal, ignorando a existências de tais normas, violando direitos e interesses individuais e difusos dos cidadãos brasileiros.
Assim, não é incomum, órgãos como a vigilância sanitária agirem arbitrariamente, sem qualquer observância das legislações municipais, estaduais e, mesmo, federais, mediante a notificação de cidadãos, que exercendo direito seu, alimentam animais comunitários ou que possuem mais de um animal em seu apartamento e são denunciados falsamente por vizinhos sobre falta de higiene e risco à saúde.
Isto não seria problema, se as notificações fossem emitidas com base em fatos que representassem efetivo risco à saúde pública e não de forma abusiva, com base em meras reclamações, despidas de qualquer veracidade, sem verificação do local, sem qualquer fundamento ou conhecimento de causa, em desacordo com as normas vigentes no país e, como se não bastasse, seguindo orientação desatualizada e arcaica, de “Códigos de Postura e Leis Orgânicas Municipais”, ainda vigentes em seu município, elaborados anteriormente à Constituição de 1988 ou, posteriormente, à margem desta.
Ademais, além de determinadas leis conterem dispositivos inconstitucionais no bojo de seu texto, ainda trazem palavras discriminatórias e desprovidas de lógica semântica, como por exemplo, utilizar a palavra ”vadio” ao tratar de animais comunitários ou abandonados. Isso demonstra a inadequação e a estagnação de determinadas legislações, uma vez que vadio significa “sem ocupação ou trabalho”; “sem destino certo”; e, “diz-se de quem pouco se empenha em alguma atividade (estudo, trabalho etc)”.6
A toda evidência não só há urgência na criação e na alteração de leis, mas também há premência na criação de órgãos similares à Secretaria Especial dos Direitos Animais nos demais municípios do Rio Grande do Sul, que atuem sem transgredir as legislações vigentes e sem atentar contra os direitos fundamentais; que contem com agentes especializados, conhecedores do assunto; e, que tenham como objetivo precípuo dar proteção aos animais abandonados e atuar preventivamente à proliferação indevida dos mesmos.
Na contemporaneidade, não se admite atos de crueldade praticados contra os animais, muito menos quando advindos da administração pública. A proibição de alimentar animais comunitários, vítimas do crescimento das cidades, da agressão, do abandono e do descaso de muitos indivíduos é um ato cruel, desumano e configura, dependendo da forma como for imposta, autêntico ato de abuso de poder.
Cumpre ressaltar o fato de que, a maioria dos casos que chegam aos advogados e às delegacias é geralmente de idosos que alimentam animais de sua comunidade ou de portadores de necessidades especiais que fazem disso uma causa e até mesmo uma razão para viver. Por vezes, idosos são violentados psicologicamente por condôminos que residem no mesmo prédio, os quais passam a praticar um legítimo bullying, progressivo contra essas pessoas, a par de serem pessoas com maior vulnerabilidade, ameaçando-as e perturbando-lhes a tranquilidade.
Diante da atuação arbitrária de órgãos municipais, mormente das Secretarias da Saúde e Vigilância Sanitária ou de qualquer outra entidade que, eventualmente, venha notificar cidadãos que abraçam a causa animal, sempre existe a possibilidade de buscar a solução desses conflitos na Justiça.
Cabe, porém, ressaltar que notificações arbitrárias podem ser refutadas mediante contranotificação, a qual dará respaldo ao contranotificante, em caso de persistência da autoridade municipal, seja na esfera administrativa, seja na judicial.
Como exemplo, destaco o caso de recente notificação da Secretaria da Saúde e Vigilância Sanitária, de um município litorâneo, dirigida a pessoas que alimentam animais comunitários, com o fito de proibi-los desse cuidado. Absurda, desumana e cruel mostra-se tal notificação que vai de encontro à Lei dos Animais Comunitários7, dentre outras leis, as quais não trazem esta proibição, pelo contrário, tratam de regular o assunto.
Maior a perplexidade, quando se compara a atuação dos servidores da SEDA, frente a casos semelhantes, cuja preocupação é cadastrar, microchipar e esterilizar animais comunitários, sem retirá-los do seio da comunidade.
A maior lição que se pode retirar do tema, é que não apenas os animais são prejudicados nesses casos, mas, sobretudo, os indivíduos que tem seus interesses, seus direitos fundamentais e sua dignidade8 violados, causando-lhes dor e dano psicológico e, muitas vezes, até físicos, por causar ou agravar doenças.
Portanto, a luta pelos direitos dos animais é uma verdadeira luta pelos direitos humanos, que continuará por muito tempo a ser travada pelos indivíduos contra as arbitrariedades de outros particulares e do Poder Público, até que se atinja o nível mínimo de informação, educação, conscientização e respeito, que hoje já são compreendidos apenas por alguns.

A view from the top of the stairs leading from El Alto down to La Paz (in the background).
El Alto is the sister city of La Paz, right next to it but above, in the altiplano. While La Paz expands downwards along the valley, with the richest population leaving in the lowest parts, El Alto is growing further from it, peopled by poor immigrants from the highlands.

A short stop by the road. I took the opportunity to photograph the grass!
Grass flowers have always appealed to me.
I remember that when I was a kid, fog grass gave me terrible hayfever. It made me itch all over and my eyes ran so much that I could hardly see. Yet, I thought the grass was so beautiful that I picked bunches of it to take home to my mother!!
Now I'm happy just to photograph it.
Going through my photos recently, someone was looking over my shoulder and when I came to the grass pictures, they said, well there's some you can delete. :-O
I am glad to find plenty of people on Flickr who recognise the beauty of grass.
Here are some of my favourite 'grass' pics. No doubt there are many more... feel free to post a link to your best grass shot(s) in the comments box! :-)

TRACING MOBILITY
CARTOGRAPHY AND MIGRATION IN NETWORKED SPACE
24.11.2011 - 12.12.2011
Opening: 23.11.2011
Wed – Mon 11 – 19 h | Symposion 26.11. 11 – 17 h
all events
Tracing Mobility sets out to examine how electronic networks and mobile media are transforming our conceptions of time, space and distance.
The exhibition presents the positions of 16 international artists who trace the shifting terrain of global and local mobility, virtual and material movement. They use varying approaches to pursue the numerous questions of our present's mobility: Where can we escape to when online- and offline worlds converge? What does the movement of a body in a landscape indicate when every point of the earth is within reach through the aid of digital technology? How do mobile devices and media alter our mindset and change our perception of time and space?
By means of installations, videos, performances and paintings, but also in the guise of iPhone Apps, maps and open-source collaborations, we see artists developing strategies in order to position themselves within this dynamic topography and to find possible points of exit.
A Symposium and the Tracing Mobility Open Platform will offer further explorations of these themes via lectures, talks and workshops.
Exhibiting Artists: Frank Abbott (UK), Aram Bartholl (DE), Neal Beggs (UK/FR), Heath Bunting (UK), Janet Cardiff / George Bures Miller (CAN), Miles Chalcraft (UK/DE, Simon Faithfull (UK/DE), Yolande Harris (UK/NL), Folke Köbberling & Martin Kaltwasser (DE), Landon Mackenzie (CAN), Open_Sailing (FR/JP), plan b (Sophia New & Dan Belasco Rogers) (UK/DE), Esther Polak & Ivar van Bekkum (NL), Gordan Savicic (AT/NL) , Mark Selby (UK), Michelle Teran (CAN/DE)

About Trampoline Tracing Mobility is a project by Trampoline, agency for Art and Media, founded by artists Anette Schäfer and Miles Chalcraft in 1997. Trampoline is based in Nottingham and runs a second office in Berlin since 2000. The organisation supports and develops artists working at the critical edge of emerging technology and digital culture. Over the last 14 years, Trampoline gained international reputation with its diverse events and programmes, especially with its Radiator Festival: International Festival for Art and Media in Nottingham (2000, 2003, 2005, 2009) and the Radiator Symposium (2005, 2009).
Tracing Mobility Berlin is the final event of a Europe-wide project that encompassed residencies, workshops, events, exhibitions and a symposium. After a series of events in the UK, in Warsaw (PL) and at the Croatian coast, Tracing Mobility Berlin presents the results of this two year long process.
Tracing Mobility is a project by Trampoline - Agency for Art & Media, in cooperation with Haus der Kulturen der Welt and Radiator Festival Nottingham, curated by Miles Chalcraft and Anette Schäfer.
Here's another version of the PHP (for Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj - First Croatian Pistol), the MV-9, made in the early 1990's in Croatia. The MV's are often described as a love child of a Walther P38 and a Beretta 92, as it has features of both. The barrel locking system is the tilting wedge with a "push button" used by both the Beretta and the Walther. It has the Walther's exposed barrel and the Beretta's high capacity magazine. The MV-9 seen here is somewhat shorter than the MV-17, as the muzzle is almost flush with the front of the slide.
In spite of the fact that it's a first attempt and that there was a particularly nasty war going on at the time, the pistol is fairly well made. It has the checkerboard Croatian crest stamped on the top of the slide, just behind the exposed portion of the barrel.
This one shows some use as evidenced by dings, scratches and honest wear, compared to the MV17, which came to me in nearly pristine, unissued condition.
The MV pistols were made by the arsenal which later became HS Arms, manufacturer of the HS2000, sold in the U. S. as the Springfield Armory XD series.

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me

From Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com/honda/accord/2009/review.html) -
For two decades now, there have been two perennial no-brainer choices for a midsize family sedan: the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry. Both have legions of satisfied owners and top reputations for reliability and safety. Deciding between the two often came down to this: If you wanted a softly sprung car with superior isolation, the Camry was the way to go -- and if you wanted a sporty ride and could live with a tad less refinement, the Accord was the sedan of choice. There's still some truth to this adage for 2009, but things have changed rapidly in the midsize sedan segment. For one thing, the Accord has grown bigger and softer with its latest redesign; for another, the competition has caught up.
Here's how things shake out for the Accord in today's family sedan free-for-all. The Honda is now roughly the fourth-sportiest entrant, by our count, trailing the canyon-king Nissan Altima, the upsized but still capable Mazda 6 and the often-overlooked Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan twins. It's also still hampered by traditional Honda foibles like elevated road noise and exaggerated brake pedal vibration during hard stops. Performance is likewise uninspiring -- while the upgraded 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the EX is pleasant, the base engine is merely adequate, and the top-of-the-line 3.5-liter V6 is overmatched in terms of acceleration by many rival six-cylinder engines.
Don't get us wrong -- the 2009 Honda Accord remains an appealing car, for a variety of reasons. First of all, it's got an ace up its sleeve that most competitors don't: its sterling reputation for reliability. Also, the Accord has ballooned to such a degree that the EPA classifies it as a "large car," and it shows in the commodious cabin, which boasts one of the most accommodating backseats of any family sedan. The center stack is undeniably button-happy, but its premium look and feel evokes luxury sedans such as the Infiniti M series. Like most Hondas, the Accord feels extraordinarily well constructed, and its interior materials are a cut above the rival Camry's. Moreover, that reputation for reliability pays off when it's time to sell, as the Accord boasts one of the best resale values around.
The Accord is also one of the few family sedans that's available in a coupe body style, and we should note that the coupe is substantially sportier than the workaday sedan, particularly with the optional V6 and coupe-exclusive six-speed manual. Whichever style you prefer, the Accord remains a smart choice on the strength of its proven track record. However, unlike Accords of the past, it doesn't really elevate itself above the competition once you get behind the wheel. As before, you're not going to go wrong with the Accord, but we'd advise taking a close look at the above-mentioned competitors, along with the Hyundai Sonata and much improved Chevrolet Malibu before making your decision.

I picked up the Lensbaby Fisheye Optic at Imaging USA this year. Initially I thought I would have pretty limited reasons to use it. I might pull it out for the occasional odd portrait or something but a true 180° fisheye is most often used in rap videos and at skate parks, neither of which do I often photography.
But, I am finding it a lot more useful than I originally imagined. Human vision is a funny thing. We are aware, via peripheral vision, of almost 180° of the world but we only have good focus on about 10° of out vision. Our eyes and brain see a lot but we only focus on a small sliver of that. As distorted and odd as these round images look, there is something familiar to them just because they do show the world as we see it… sort of. On a full-frame sensor camera, like the Canon 5D MKII, a 12mm fisheye like this Lensbaby optic produces a round image and much of the sensor never sees any light. The view is so wide that you have to be careful that you don’t get your feet, camera strap or elbow in the shot.
In spite of all the distortion that the lens gives, it provides a very deep depth of field even when focused very close and shot at f/4 like (the aperture I used on these shots).
There are a few drawbacks to the Lensbaby fisheye when you use it in their Composer rig. First, you have to be very careful that the image is centered properly or you end up with some of the elegant sphere getting cut off. It is also manual focus and because everything looks so small through the viewfinder, you really have to shift to Live View and digitally zoom in to focus properly. This is not a big deal if you have a little time to compose your shot but tends to preclude and “on the fly shooting.”
Anyway, it’s a fun addition to the arsenal of obscure lenses that I seem to love and fawn over. It is also a good bit cheaper than the Canon EF 8-1fmm lens f/4 L USM (which will set you back $1,400 and only stops down to f/4 while the lens baby goes to f/2). I am sure that the Auto Focus of the Canon would take a lot of the leg-work out of using an extreme fisheye and that the optics are cleaner, but I have heard reports that the clarity, when stopped down and used properly are not worth the price difference.
But, enough camera geek talk. I hope you enjoy this somewhat unusual view of Louisiana and Mississippi during the winter that I photographed yesterday on my ride back from Lake Bruin. I’m looking forward to putting this lens to more remunerative use on my next portrait assignment. All in all, highly recommended.

Macao
Guia Lighthouse
Guia Fortress, Lighthouse and Chapel: Built on the top of the highest hill in Macau peninsula (which has a walking trail with gymnastics infrastructures) is the Guia Fortress, erected in 1637 inside which is a lighthouse (1865), the first to be built in the China coast. Besides the lighthouse there is a Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guia, decorated with beautiful frescoes recently restored. From the fortress the visitor can visit the whole city and the Pearl River. It is an extremely calm spot ideal for photos, with a coffee shop selling soft drinks and coffee. Moreover it is here that the typhoon signals are hoisted in order to inform the population that the tropical storm is approaching.
The Guia Complex, which includes a historical military fort, chapel and lighthouse, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The fort and chapel were constructed between 1622 and 1638. The lighthouse was constructed between 1864 and 1865, the first western style lighthouse in east Asia or on the China coast.
In October 2006, the Macau Government announced a gigantic construction project which includes a new home for Beijing’s Liaison Office. With such construction plan, Macau’s signature lighthouse will be hidden from large portions of the city, and, perhaps the harbour.
The project at the foot of Macau’s Guia Hill comprises a 135 metre tall tower, a 99.12 metre tower, with other tall buildings in a line spanning some 300 metres, while the Guia Hill is only 91 metres in height.
The height of Beijing’s Liaison Office (99.12 metres) is designed to commemorate December 1999, the year of Macau’s return to Chinese sovereignty. The building is already under construction and will be complete next December to commemorate the eighth anniversary of Macau’s handover.
The Association for the Protection of Macau’s Historical and Cultural Heritage warned the Macau government that if the high-rise buildings turned out to block the view of the Guia Lighthouse, it would upset the feelings of many residents.
Earlier in 2006, the Macau government uplifted two decrees that stipulated maximum construction heights in that area. The Land, Public Works and Transportation Office said the revocation stemmed from “the need to modernize the legislation, already 15 years old and completely outdated, out of touch with the gambling sector development and the increasing need for building sites”. Since 2006 summer, there have been a few heritage disputes in Macau. Activists have been fighting against a building plan that threatened to block the sea view from the A-Ma Temple, a World Heritage site honoring the goddess of seafarers and protesting against a government plan to demolish the Little Blue House - a historic mansion that isn’t on the World Heritage list.
According to the Macau Post Daily (January 10, 2007), heritage management expert, Mr. Imon, stressed that the UNESCO in Paris has a so-called World Heritage in Danger List that comprises properties deemed by the organization to be in peril because of adverse developments in their surroundings. In case of a world-heritage property’s inclusion in the danger list, the UNESCO may issue a warning in order to urge the respective country [China in the case of Macau] to stop the damage and to remedy the situation.

Well, I finally made it back to Richmond Park yesterday, it's only taken me FIVE YEARS!!! Not been there since 2009!!! and I nearly didn't go yesterday either, because of initial bad weather and engineering works on the railway...it was a Sunday I guess, that's power for the course!!!
Anyhoo, I was rewarded with my FIRST ever Fallow deer Rut, which was pretty intense for 5 minutes!!
Hope everybody had a great Weekend..:)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ This article is about the deer genus. For other uses, see Dama (disambiguation).
Description ~ The male fallow deer is known as a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Adult bucks are 140–160 cm (55–63 in) long with a 85–95 cm (33–37 in) shoulder height, and typically 60–100 kg (130–220 lb) in weight; does are 130–150 cm (51–59 in) long with a 75–85 cm (30–33 in) shoulder height, and 30–50 kg (66–110 lb) in weight. The largest bucks may measure 190 cm (75 in) long and weigh 150 kg (330 lb). Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm (12 in) and weigh around 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). The life span is around 12–16 years.
The species has great variations in the colour of their coats, with four main variants, "common", "menil", melanistic and leucistic – a genuine colour variety, not albinistic. The white is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, sometimes even black (easily confused with the sika deer).
Common: Chestnut coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker, unspotted coat in the winter. Light-coloured area around the tail, edged with black. Tail is light with a black stripe.
Menil: Spots more distinct than common in summer and no black around the rump patch or on the tail. In winter, spots still clear on a darker brown coat.
Melanistic (black): All year black shading to greyish-brown. No light-coloured tail patch or spots.
Leucistic (white, but not albino): Fawns cream-coloured, adults become pure white, especially in winter. Dark eyes and nose, no spots.
Most herds consist of the common coat variation, yet it is not rare to see animals of the menil coat variation. The Melanistic variation is rarer and white very much rarer still.
Only bucks have antlers, which are broad and shovel-shaped (palmate) from three years. In the first two years the antler is a single spike. They are gazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in groups of up to 150.
Agile and fast in case of danger, fallow deer can run up to a maximum speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) over short distances (being naturally less muscular than other cervids such as roe deer, they are not as fast). Fallow deer can also make jumps up to 1.75 metres high and up to 5 metres in length.

Benefit for Jordan Renne Cilley and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
"Thank you for coming to When You Believe. My name is Jordan Renne Cilley. I am ten years old and I have Juvenile Diabetes Type l. I was diagnosed on March 17, 2007, when I was only seven years old.
...You get diabetes when your pancreas stops making natural insulin in your body. The insulin injections help bring down my blood sugar. I have to poke my finger to check my blood sugar before every meal and snack... Then I have to give myself insulin injections... [adding up to] 6-8 injections a day... I also have to be careful that my blood sugar doesn't go too low, because I could end up in the hospital.
Sometimes I get upset and cry that I have to stop what I'm doing to check my blood, and take insulin injections. It' not fair that I have to let my team down and stop playing a volleyball game because I feel low and have to bring my blood sugars up. It makes me sad that I have juvenile diabetes.
With your help I want to raise money to find a cure for juvenile diabetes, to educate people about juvenile diabetes so that people are aware of who and why we have juvenile diabetes. Finding a cure for juvenile diabetes means not having to always poke our fingers to check our blood. It means that we will be able to live life without being afraid of our blood sugar getting too high or too low. It means that someday we would not have to take insulin injetions anymore."

I've decided I need something refreshing. Either a weekend trip, a concert, or just something FUN. I think this "anxious" feeling is caused by things in life being too repetitive. Which actually makes PLENTY of sense. I'm longing for something new, something different.
Justin Bieber's USmile video came out today. I like it :) <3
The weather is freaking AWESOME. It's cool now, I can finally wear a jacket and jeans without them sticking to me! A great breeze, but still some sunshine. It's great. How's the weather where all of you are living? :)
I'm working tomorrow and Saturday, so I'm hoping I can still get a good picture up! :)
I hope everyone is doing well, not much to talk about today! :/
P.S. I need a better camera :/

The reclaimed wetlands of the river Foix estuary have made this area into one of the main attractions of the town. The River Foix, which is dry during most of the year due to construction of the Foix Resservoir is another of the most emblematic places in Cubelles. At the Foix estuary, you can spend the day enjoying nature and birthwatching, or at one of the picnic areas. This zone is also intended for school visits, as it is a place where children can study the ecosystem of a Mediterranean river such as the Foix.
The estuary is separated from the sea by a sand barrier which has accumulated over time, due to sea currents and rainwater sediments, forming freshwater laguens behind the barrier. The natural area of the Foix Delta has a branch of land that sticks out into the sea. This was formed during the floods of 1994 and joins onto another branch, leaving an island in the middle. Tourists can visit the island by crossing a wooden footbridge.

La recuperación de los espacios húmedos de la desembocadura del río Foix ha convertido la zona en una de las de mayor atractivo del municipio. El río Foix -que desde la construcción del pantano del Foix está la mayor parte del año seco- es otro de los elementos más emblemáticos de los cubellenses. En la desembocadura del Foix, además de poder pasar un día rodeado de la Naturaleza, se puede observar el comportamiento de las aves autóctonas de esta zona o disfrutar de las áreas de picnic. El espacio también está dirigido a las escuelas, que pueden visitar y estudiar el ecosistema de un río mediterráneo, como es el del Foix.
Su desembocadura está separada del mar por una barrera de arena acumulada por las corrientes marítimas y los depósitos pluviales, formando lagunas de agua dulce en su interior. El Espacio Natural del Delta del Foix, mantiene el brazo de salida al mar que se formó por las riadas de 1994, a la que se ha añadido un segundo brazo dejando una isla en el medio, conectada con la zona de entretenimiento a través de unas pasarelas de madera. Otra pasarela de madera sobre uno de los brazos del río, sirve de punto de observación del desarrollo natural de la desembocadura del Foix.
March 7th is Very Much Alive day.
It is a day where we are all going to come together as people, friends, lovers, brothers, and sisters, and we're going to make sure that that we feel alive. Most people live their entire lives feeling empty, alone, scared, and sad. We're here to remind you that you're not.
It's really easy to participate. If you can, write "Very Much Alive" on your arms, hands, legs, stomachs- anywhere you want! You can also wear purple. Don't forget to tell people about us and invite your friends!
We're also going to hold a contest for the people who are attending, post a picture of yourself wearing purple, or with "VMA" or "Very Much Alive" written on yourself and we'll pick the winner for the most creative person to do so.
Always remember that we love you and we want you to know that you're never alone.

Suggested by the book Flying Saucers from Outer Space by retired U.S. Marine Corps Major Donald F. Keyhoe, this story, about an alien invasion of Earth, is highlighted by spectacular special effects by Ray Harryhausen.

Charles was always cutting out stories from newspapers and in the mid-fifties there were a spat of flying saucer sightings. Charles thought this phenomenon would make a good feature and so Earth Vs the Flying Saucers was the result.
The design of the saucers was based on what most people would expect but Ray added an animated section into the top and underside that also had flutes in them so that people could see it was moving.
The various sizes of saucers (there are seven in total) were made from aluminium by Ray’s father and then anodised giving them a matt finish so they didn’t reflect light.
Ray never liked the latex alien suits used in the film even though he designed them. He would have preferred to animate models of the aliens but because of budget restrictions this was never possible.
Instead of drawing entire storyboards for the action, Ray used location photographs and executed rough sketches on them and then mounted them for storyboards.
As with The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, a great number of the rear project plates were stills.
For all the aerial model work Ray used old recording wire on which to suspend the saucers.
The miniatures sets – The Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings cost $1500 each and the Washington Monument cost just $500. Compare those costs with today’s budgets
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (EvFS) is the flagship of 50s sci-fi B movies. It has all the hallmarks of a typical B movie: shot in black and white, much stock footage, low-budget props, etc. That said, EvFS is still the best of its breed. The acting is good (for the most part). Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation of the saucers is great. His saucers have more "life" than any model on a string could attain. The basic premise of hostile aliens invading the earth with flying saucers was a classic. EvFS would be a significant influence in Tim Burton's 1996 movie Mars Attacks.
Dr. Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) heads a nascent satellite program, but all of his satellites blow up or fall from orbit. A saucer buzzes Dr. Marvin and his wife as they drive to the base. Despite a call from Dr. Marvin's father-in-law (Morris Ankrum), they launch the next rocket. A saucer descends on the base. Troops open fire. The saucer is invulnerable, but one of the robot-like aliens is hit. The other alien-bots use heat beams to destroy the base. Only Dr. Marvin and his wife escape because they were in a deep bunker. The aliens came from a defunct solar system, intent on taking over the earth. They want earthlings to surrender peacefully so their new home won't be a ruin from the battle. Mankind is defiant. The aliens give earth 56 days to think it over. The time is used, instead, to develop an anti-saucer weapon. Dr. Marvin and staff develop a magnetic disruptor which makes the saucers unstable. When the fleet of saucers finally arrive over Washington DC, a whole fleet of disrupter-beam equipped Ford flatbed trucks is there to greet them. A mighty battle rages. Saucer heat beams destroy much, but the trucks take their toll too. Saucers wobble and fall into a variety of DC landmarks, including the Washington Monument. Finally, the last saucer falls. Earth is saved! The end.
It's hard not to enjoy this classic of 50s B sci-fi. It has everything a 50 sci-fi fan loves. The acting is reasonably good, the pacing is pretty good too, so even someone who isn't a fan of the genre could be suitably entertained.
EvFS is a classic allegory of Cold War tensions. A hostile force seeks to invade and take over. In the mid-50s, the threat from communism was never far from viewers' minds. The caustic Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would say, later in 1956 "We will bury you!" would say later. When, in the movie, the earthlings decide to fight the saucers, an Army general says: "When an armed and threatening power lands uninvited in our capitol, we don't meet him with tea and cookies!" Such was American popular sentiment towards the threat of communism.
Stock Footage Fun -- amid the usual clips of P-80s and V-2s (Checkers!) and other military clips, are stock disaster clips. Storms, fires, destruction. For the sci-fi fan, there are also snippets recycled from earlier sci-fi movies. There are battle scenes cut from War of the Worlds ('53) and The Day the Earth Stood Still ('51).
Cheap Suit -- The aliens walk about in crude robot-like suits with faceless bullet-shaped helmets. The fit and finish of these suits is quite poor when you get a good look at them.
Alien Glimpse -- The brief scene in which the real alien (head) is exposed, reveals the taxonomy that would become archetypal: big head, tapering to a small neck, large almond-shaped eyes, tiny mouth. They're also said to weigh little, being fairly weak and frail. Of the many sorts of invading aliens seen thus far in the 50s, some were simple -- men in leotards Killers from Space, if not just plain people Devil Girl from Mars and Flight to Mars and giant humanoids: The Thing. A very few hostile (or at least frightening) invaders were not humanoid: Invaders from Mars and War of the Worlds. The alien in EvFS appears to be an early showing of what would later become the presumed "true" shape of alien life forms.
Bottom line? EvFS is well worth watching. Fans of 50s sci-fi will enjoy it. Family members of fans of 50s sci-fi can tolerate it. In many ways, it is the epitome of the B grade 50s science fiction movie.
Exhibition view: 2010.
