During the Inca Empire, the Inti Raymi was the most important of four ceremonies celebrated in Cusco, as related by Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. The celebration took place in the Haukaypata or the main plaza in the city.
The Inti Raymi ("Festival of the Sun") was a religious ceremony of the Inca Empire in honor of the god Inti, one of the most venerated gods in Inca religion. It really was the celebration of the Winter Solstice - the shortest day of the year in terms of the time between sunrise and sunset. In South America, which falls below the equator, the months of June & July are Winter months.
According to chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega, Sapa Inca Pachacuti created the Inti Raymi to celebrate the new year in the Andes of the Southern Hemisphere. Since 1944, a theatrical representation of the Inti Raymi has been taking place at Sacsayhuamán (two km. from Cusco) on June 24 of each year, attracting thousands of tourists and local visitors. The ceremony was also said to indicate the mythical origin of the Incas. It lasted for nine days and was filled with colorful dances and processions, as well as animal sacrifices to ensure a good cropping season. The last Inti Raymi with the Inca Emperor's presence was carried out in 1535, after which the Spanish conquest and the Catholic Church share it.
In 1944, a historical reconstruction of the Inti Raymi was directed by Faustino Espinoza Navarro and indigenous actors. The first reconstruction was largely based on the chronicles of Garcilaso de la Vega and only referred to the religious ceremony.
Inti Raymi is still celebrated in indigenous cultures throughout the Andes. Celebrations involve music, colorful costumes (most notable the woven aya huma mask) and the sharing of food. In many parts of the Andes, this celebration has been connected to the festivals of Saint John the Baptist, which falls on the day after the summer solstice (June 21).

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.

Guess who fed the Indian Pond Heron a "Center shock" chewing gum? :-)
For those who don't know what "Center Shock" is, it's a chewing gum available in India. This particular gum has a gel at the core, that is extremely sour. One of the ads of this gum shows that the person who is given this gum gets all the hair on his head to stand up - It became very popular in a short while. :-)
This particular field was filled with Herons and egrets. I was busy shooting another herons, when I heard two making a racket - Noticed that two were fighting, when I turned my camera to this guy, the fight was over, but there was just about enough time to get the feathers standing. :-)

Waldhäuser ist eine Streusiedlung in der Gemeinde Neuschönau im Landkreis Freyung-Grafenau.
Das ausgedehnte Bergdorf liegt in einer Höhenlage von etwa 840 bis zu 1050 Metern am Nordwesthang des Waldhäuserriegels mitten im Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald.
1611 errichtete die Stadt Grafenau dort zur Förderung des Salzhandels an der Gulden Stras ein Rast- und Übernachtungshaus für die Säumer, das Haus am Wald. 1614 erhielt die Stadt den Erbrechtsbrief für dieses Haus, 1617 die bürgerliche Gerichtsbarkeit. Es bestand nur aus einem einzigen Raum von etwa 30 Quadratmetern.
Wenige Jahre später baute die Stadt Grafenau das untere Haus im Wald. 1637 waren schon sieben untere Waldhäuser vorhanden. Das Weiderecht der Bewohner von Waldhäuser umfasste 1800 Tagwerk. Um das obere Waldhaus herum weidete das Vieh der Grafenauer Bürger während der Sommermonate. Die Bewohner der Waldhäuser lebten vor allem von der Herstellung hölzerner Teller, Schaufeln, Rechen, Löffel und anderer Holzbitzlerwaren, die sie den Bauern in tiefer gelegenen Orten verkauften. Getreideanbau war wegen des Klimas nicht möglich.
1774 errichtete der kurfürstliche Holzförster Muckenschnabel aus Bruchsteinen den mehrgeschossigen Ameishof. Das gegenwärtig als Jugendherberge dienende Gebäude mit weit heruntergezogenem Walmdach erhielt seinen Namen davon, dass die Bewohner der Waldhäuser auf dem großen Dachboden sogenannte „Ameiseneier“ (in Wirklichkeit Ameisenpuppen in ihrem Kokon) trockneten und dann als Fisch- und Vogelfutter verkauften.
Noch dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts hatte der Wirt in Waldhäuser als Überbleibsel des ehemaligen Salzhandels das Recht zum Verkauf von Salz. Seine böhmischen Gäste schmuggelten jährlich 15 bis 20 Scheiben Münchner Mäßerei über die Grenze. 1838 verkaufte die Stadt Grafenau das obere Waldhaus mit dem dazugehörigen Weiderecht um 5238 Gulden und 41 Kreuzer an das Königreich Bayern. 1846 gab es in den oberen und unteren Waldhäusern insgesamt 19 Häuser.
Waldhäuser ist ein wichtiger Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, besonders auf den Gipfel des nahe gelegenen Lusen.

I took this picture when I was 13 years old with a Ricoh 500 rangefinder I had inherited from my grandfather. This is approximately the same year that we landed on the moon for the first time - a long time ago! It was the beginning of my entrance into 35mm photography.
Somehow I managed to hang on to this negative over the years. It's a bit pitted and scratched, and maybe someday I'll fix that, but for now the marks seem to add a sense of character and time to the picture.

View Large On Black Some people equate the terms bad and evil but there is a difference in the way these two terms are commonly used. As they are most commonly used, evil is the subset of all that is bad delineated from what is merely bad by a conscious intent to do harm. Something is bad if it causes harm but is only evil if some conscious being intended the harm. Evil carries a moral punch. The evil is in the intention. There are therefore bad things or events that are not definitively evil, at least as these two terms are commonly used. If a mudslide destroys a village and people die in their sleep, what has happened is very bad but not evil for it is merely an act of nature, but if somebody had a chance to warn them but didn’t because they wanted them to die, then their failure to warn them would be evil. The evil is in the intent to do harm or allow harm to be done.
The above photo is highly manipulated but is “based on reality”. The reality rests in the two photos that I took within thirty hours of each other. On the first day, I was driving around the beltline on the east side of my home town when I saw this vehicle with the sign, “CAUTION, DO NOT TAILGATE, SHOW GOAT SEMEN ON BOARD.” I quickly grabbed my camera and captured the image you see above, well, most of that image. There was another image that formed in my mind, an image based on but differing from the reality of the photograph that I had just taken. I wanted to make a point. The next day, I spotted a car that was rather ordinary, but it displayed what I wanted to complete the image that had formed in my mind, an Obama bumper sticker. I quickly photographed the back of that car.
After I downloaded the two images from my camera onto my computer, I changed the name of the company printed on the truck to “Superboy Semen”, the license plate number to 666-OWW and removed the owner’s phone number and other identifying information. Then I added the Obama’ 08 sign to the back. The Obama’08 sign was on the back a parked car to my right and the photo was taken from a different angle than the back of the goat semen truck which was to my left. I first changed the perspective (angle) of the Obama’08 bumper sticker to match what it would have been on the back of the truck and then resized it. Then I transferred it to the truck, erased the sticker part of it and changed the color and blur of the lettering to somewhat match the “CAUTION, DO NOT TAILGATE . . . ” sign immediately above it. Finally, after a few more minor changes, I photoshopped seven layers of the altered image and merged them into a final composite which you see above.
The result is a photo I can truthfully say is “based on the truth” because the truck really existed as did the Obama’08 sticker. Now it was not my intention to pick on Obama, I actually admire the guy, but to make this point. I don’t like underhanded, manipulated news reporting on any issue. How can I vote my conscious if I‘m being mislead? How can I know what or who to support if I am being fed partial lies? My purpose in posting this photo is to show graphically what members of JournoList did verbally and graphically on a regular basis to manipulate the news to support their candidates and causes. The big difference is that I am telling you what I did openly and out front. What they did, they did it in secret, never intending to tell their readers and listeners. Did they do evil? Did they intend to harm anybody? Well they harmed the voters right to know the whole truth and they conspired to harm opponents with spurious news stories that they released separately, but in unison. I’ve always admired (not) the ability of the liberal media to be outraged in lockstep. Now we have proof how they do it. One thing we can be sure, what these JournoList members did was a bad way to report the news. This is not a minor problem.

The excavations of Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world, along with that of Herculaneum, capable of returning visitors to a Roman town, whose life has remained firm to a distant morning in 79 AD, an era from which the Vesuvius decided to cancel by earth orbit. The town owes its exceptional state of preservation to the way in which it was buried. Source: www.pompeiturismo.it

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port. Source: en.wikipedia.org

The Metropolitan City of Naples (Città metropolitana di Napoli) is an Italian Metropolitan City in Campania region, established on January 1, 2015.

Dentro de la marabunta de reediciones en HD y remakes que se están produciendo desde hace unos años, ha habido un caso reciente que nos ha llamado la atención. Sí, el de la puesta al día del ‘Resident Evil’ de 2002. Una reedición con unos cuantos retoques, principalmente estéticos y sin demasiado peso, que nos llevan a una situación un tanto delirante: es el remake (o remasterización) del remake homonimo de un clásico de 1996 que deleitó al mundo en PC, Playstation y Saturn.
Pero es que la cosa tiene más miga al saber que Capcom ha anunciado este “nuevo” ‘Resident Evil’ solamente para PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 y Xbox One, dejando de lado Wii U, al parecer porque los usuarios de Wii (y por lo tanto los de Wii U) siguen teniendo la opción del ‘Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil’. Aunque no es lo mismo, vaya, porque ni es en HD ni cuenta con ese control sin giros.
La generación del refrito: dinero fácil
Desde que nos adentramos en las pantallas en HD o FullHD los desarrolladores tardaron poco en empezar a sacar tajada de esto. Actualmente la lista es bastante grande, con PS3 y Xbox 360 como las consolas que más apuestan por rescatar clásicos de PS2 y Xbox, sin olvidar que en PC también se apuesta por este tipo de iniciativas (véase el caso de ‘Resident Evil 4 HD’ para Steam), y con una Wii U que ha hecho sus pinitos, siendo el ejemplo más resaltable ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker’.
Ya no resulta raro hoy en día, por lo tanto, ver una reedición o un remake. Lo tenemos asumido y no es algo ni bueno ni malo, simplemente está ahí, es una opción. Salvo a la hora de paliar la falta de novedades, como sucedió en su día con ‘Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition’ en PS4 y Xbox One.
Tampoco hay que omitir el hecho de que ciertas compañías se perdieron el mítico programa de Joaquín Prat, en el sentido de que muchas veces se pasan del precio que consideraríamos justo. Por lo general las reediciones compensan cuando dentro del lote van dos o tres juegos más. Ahí sí.
Esto nos lleva a recordar que cuando Capcom sacó las reediciones en HD de ‘Resident Evil 4′ y ‘Resident Evil Code: Veronica X’ lo hizo al salvaje precio de 19,99 euros por cada uno. Muy bestia.
Sin embargo el “nuevo” ‘Resident Evil’ no entra dentro del mismo grupo que esos, al no ser sólo una mera reedición en HD, con mejoras en las texturas, sonido y resolución (1080p), al ofrecer la posibilidad de disfrutar de un control opcional más manejable, sin los giros del original de 1996.
La bendita ironía del “nuevo” Resident Evil
Recapacitando, lo que nos llama la atención de esta edición es su procedencia. Tiene mucha miga:
BioHazard (22 de marzo de 1996, Japón): el origen de todo. En España tuvimos que esperar a primeros de agosto del mismo año para disfrutarlo bajo el nombre de ‘Resident Evil’ Tras debutar en PSone, salió en PC en diciembre de 1996 en Japón. Y al año siguiente a España La SEGA Saturn contó con una versión especial con varios añadidos en 1997 En ese mismo año salió ‘Resident Evil: Director’s Cut’ en PSone con ligeros retoques Hasta hubo una segunda versión especial, llamada ‘Resident Evil: Dual Shock Ver.’ Ya en 2002 Capcom rehizo por completo ‘Resident Evil’ y lo lanzó en Game Cube. Juegazo que no solamente mejoró el apartado estético, sino que nos brindó nuevas salas y más cosas Nintendo DS, por contra, apostó por revivir el original de 1996 con ‘Resident Evil: Deadly Silence’. Aparte de diversos cambios y novedades, llamó la atención su modo multijugador para cuatro Finalmente, en Europa disfrutamos de una adaptación del clásico de 2002 en Wii bajo el nombre de ‘Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil’, con más tipos de control gracias al Wiimote y nunchuck
Esto nos lleva al presente, con este ‘Resident Evil’ (2015) que se aprovechará de lo visto en Game Cube y Wii para imprimirle cuatro retoques más, la entrada en la alta definición y un control sin los giros, algo muy característico de la saga iniciada por Shinji Mikami, para venderlo a precio de oro.
Porque si bien Capcom no ha anunciado su precio todavía, ¿hay alguien que realmente cree que se venderá por menos de 19,99 euros? Ahora bien, en la parte positiva (siempre podemos esperar a una rebaja, claro) está el hecho de que ahora los que no tuvieron ni Game Cube ni Wii podrán disfrutar de uno de los mejores ‘Resident Evil’. Y si esto sirve para que Capcom acabe haciendo lo propio con ‘Resident Evil Zero’ y ya en el futuro animarse con un remake de ‘Resident Evil 2′, bienvenido sea.

Here new ways go.
Quietly let us fare.
Come, let us seek
a new flower, and fair.
Throw away what we possess!
Everything attained, complete
lifelessly oppresses us,
not worthy of dream, song and deed.
Life is that which awaits,
what one cannot know of, or speak...
Come, let us forget!
New things and fair let us seek!
-- from the poem "New ways" by Karin Boye

någon ny och vacker blomma.
Kasta det vi äger!
Allting nått och färdigt
livlöst oss tynger,
dröm och sång och dåd ej värdigt.
Liv är det som väntar,
det man ej kan veta...
Kom, låt oss glömma!
Låt oss nytt och fagert leta!
-- "Nya vägar" av Karin Boye
I was tagged ! so here it goes..
1. If you needed directions to anywhere in new jersey or the eastern side of PA, I could probably tell you how to get there and the best roads to take. my mind is a map. legit.
2. I talk on the phone more than I text. It used to be the other way around.. but now I lovelovelove talking on the phone
3. I go to shows like it's my job. I go to one at least once a month. next weekend I'm going to take action & in march i'm seeing black eyed peas!
4. i'm probably going to be all alone when i'm older, as in no husband. It's not that I don't like people, I just get bored of them so easily.
5. I want to travel. Everywhere. I want to be able to tell my grand children that I've been to all 50 states, and every continent. It just seems like such a cool thing.
6. I listen to music constantly. I don't think there's a minute without my ipod by my side, and in my ear.
7. I take my camera everywhere. Even if I don't take pictures, I still feel right when it's right next to me.
8. I don't fit in anywhere. I have friends within a lot of different groups, and I have yet to find my place. Not that I need one.
9. I just recently became vegetarian. and I want to keep going with it. It's been three days, and it's pretty hard considering all my diet was, was chicken. everyday, all day.
10. Up until this year, I always knew what I wanted to do with my life. Now, I don't have a clue, and it freaks me out.

“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.”—Genesis 2:2,3
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”—Exodus 20:8-11
“Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. He said in a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.’"—Revelation 14:6,7
“Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. Now we who have believed enter that rest…”-- Hebrews 3:19-4:3
“There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.”—Hebrews 4:9-11
“This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”—Isaiah 30:15
The word “Sabbath” literally means “rest” and is a symbol of God’s relationship with us. This day speaks of how we cannot be saved by our own works, but must rest in the salvation of Jesus (Hebrews 3: 19-4:3, 4:9-11).
Because each previous painting says something about the Christian’s experience, and likewise the Sabbath embodies our entire Christian walk, I sought to incorporate elements from each painting into the Sabbath piece. Jesus is walking with Adam and Eve, who are made out of clay. They are unashamed because they are clothed in His light and righteousness. The cross reminds us of salvation, because salvation only comes through rest in Christ.
The original Sabbath was on the seventh day of the week, or Saturday, as kept by the Jewish people throughout history. The Sabbath was not only instituted for the Israelites, but for all of mankind, since it existed before the Jewish nation even began, at the creation of the world.
Resting on the seventh day is a sign of devotion to God, relying on His grace instead of works for salvation, and loyalty to Him as the Creator and Redeemer, for it is a memorial of creation and redemption.
From ancient times the lotus has been a divine symbol in Asian traditions representing the virtues of sexual purity and non-attachment.
Hindus revere it with the divinities Vishnu and Lakshmi often portrayed on a pink lotus in iconography. In the representation of Vishnu as Padmanabha (Lotus navel), a lotus issues from his navel with Brahma on it. Goddess Sarasvati is portrayed on a white-colored lotus.
Often used as an example of divine beauty, Vishnu is often described as the 'Lotus-Eyed One'. Its unfolding petals suggest the expansion of the soul. The growth of its pure beauty from the mud of its origin holds a benign spiritual promise. In Hindu iconography, other deities, like Ganga and Ganesha are often depicted with lotus flowers as their seats.
The lotus plant is cited extensively within Puranic and Vedic literature, for example:
One who performs his duty without attachment, surrendering the results unto the Supreme Lord, is unaffected by sinful action, as the lotus is untouched by water.
— Bhagavad Gita 5.10:
In Chinese culture Confucian scholar Zhou Dunyi wrote - "I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained".
Most deities of Asian religions are depicted as seated on a lotus flower. In Buddhist symbolism, the lotus represents purity of the body, speech, and mind as if floating above the muddy waters of attachment and desire. According to legend, Gautama Buddha was born with the ability to walk, and lotus flowers bloomed everywhere he stepped.
In the classical written and oral literature of many Asian cultures the lotus is present in figurative form, representing elegance, beauty, perfection, purity and grace, being often used in poems and songs as an allegory for ideal feminine attributes. In Sanskrit the word lotus has many synonyms. Since the lotus thrives in water - 'ja' (denoting birth) is added to synonyms of water to derive some synonyms for the lotus, like ambuja (ambu= water + ja=born of), neerja (neera=water + ja= born of), pankaj, pankaja, kamal, kamala, kunala, aravind, arvind, nalin,nalini and saroja and names derived from the lotus, like padmavati (possessing lotuses) or padmini (full of lotuses). These names and derived versions are often used to name girls, and to a lesser extent boys, in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, as well as in many other countries influenced by Indic culture, like Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Laos.

Almost 2000 years ago, four writers recorded the life and teaching of Jesus. The first four books in the New Testament bear their names: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Matthew was one of Jesus' twelve disciples. He offers a first-hand account of what Jesus said and did over a three-year period.
Luke was a physician who became a follower of Jesus after Jesus' life on earth. He spent time with many who were close to Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus' mother Mary gave Luke a mother's insight into the birth and early life of Jesus.
John wrote the last of the four histories. Of the twelve disciples, no one was closer to Jesus than John. He was the disciple who stood alone at the foot of the cross. Jesus demonstrated His great trust in John by committing to John the care of His mother Mary. At the time he wrote the last of the four histories, John was the only disciple of the original twelve who was still living.
Mark's record is the earliest of the four accounts. A young boy during the latter part of Jesus' life, Mark grew up to travel with Peter, one of Jesus' first followers and closest friends. Peter was a fisherman who followed Christ personally and traveled with Him for more than three years. We know from early church historians that Mark wrote what he learned from Peter as he preached about Jesus to all who would listen. Irenaeus wrote in A.D. 175, "Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, also transmitted to us in writing the things preached by Peter."
Of the four histories, Mark's Gospel is the simplest, shortest and most direct presentation of Jesus' life, written in the common language of the marketplace. None of the other Gospels devotes as great a portion of its content to Jesus' suffering, death and resurrection. Mark does not mention Christ's genealogy or birth. Instead, he begins his Gospel by describing John the Baptist's preaching and baptism, followed by the baptism and temptation of Jesus. Then he leads into Jesus' public ministry in Galilee, giving special attention to His miraculous works that prove Him to be the Son of God.
As in all Peter's sermons about Jesus recorded in the Book of Acts, the presentation about Christ in the Gospel of Mark answers two simple but critical questions. It is divided almost perfectly in two equal halves, the first presenting who Jesus is and the second presenting why He gave His life.
From the earliest part of chapter 1 through the end of chapter 8, Mark records Jesus' miraculous works and repeatedly draws attention to the significance of who Jesus is. That is why in the first half of Mark's gospel the word "who" occurs so often.
In the first chapter, Mark clearly declares that Jesus is the Son of God1 Even demons gave this testimony: "I know who you are — the Holy One of God!" But, Jesus did not permit the demons to speak, "because they knew who he was."2
In chapter 2, the scribes said, "Who can forgive sins but God alone?"3 In chapter 4, after Jesus miraculously calmed the storm, the disciples said to one another, "Who then is this that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"4
The climax of Mark's presentation of who Jesus is in the first half of the book comes at the close of chapter 8: "And Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, 'Who do people say that I am?' And they told Him, saying, 'John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.' And He continued by questioning them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Peter answered and said to Him, 'You are the Christ.'"5
The second half of Mark's 16 chapters describe the final week of Jesus' life on earth — His suffering, death and resurrection. In a series of statements Jesus reveals the purpose for which He was sent into the world: "He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again."6 "He said to His disciples, 'The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.'"7 ''We are going up to Jerusalem,' he said, 'and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.'"8
Also contained in Mark are three dramatic "confessions." In the first verse, Mark himself confesses Jesus as the Son of God. 9 This is followed by Peter's confession in the middle of the book, "You are the Christ,"10 and builds to the Roman centurion's confession, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"11
As you read through Mark's record of the life and teachings of Jesus, you will discover that His life touches the very center of your life.

El lleó (Panthera leo) és un mamífer de la família dels felins. El lleó mascle és conegut per la seva crinera (melena) i pot arribar a pesar més de 250 kg. Les femelles son molt més petites i pesen devers 180 kg. Els lleons son carnívors i viuen en grups familiars que consisteixen en femelles emparentades, les seves cries dels dos sexes i un mascle sense llaços sanguinis que s'aparella amb les femelles adultes.
Les femelles s'ocupen de caçar mentre que els mascles es dediquen principalment a protegir els límits del seu territori. Els mascles són expulsats del grup en arribar a la maduresa.
Els lleons son polígams i la femella cria cada 18 o 26 mesos en estat natural; en captivitat, els lleons es reprodueixen una vegada a l'any. Després d'una gestació de 110 dies, la femella té entre un i quatre lleonets, que neixen amb un pèl espès i clapat. En captivitat, un lleó pot viure fins als 30 anys d'edat, però en llibertat la mitjana són 12 anys pels mascles i 16 per les femelles.
The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[2] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and western Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene (about 10,000 years ago), the lion was the most widespread large land mammal beside humans. They were found in most of Africa, much of Eurasia from western Europe to India, and the Bering land bridge and, in the Americas, from the Yukon to Peru.
Lions live for approximately 10–14 years in the wild, while in captivity they can live over 20 years. They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator, although they will resort to scavenging if the opportunity arises. While lions, in general, do not selectively hunt humans, some have been known to become man-eaters and seek human prey.
The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of 30 to 50% over the past two decades in its African range;[1] populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not well-understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Lions have been kept in menageries since Roman times and have been a key species sought after and exhibited in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.
Visually, the male is highly distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The head of the male lion is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture. It has been depicted extensively in literature, in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature.

My librarian.net mail is a lost cause, but I need a way to be contacted via librarian.net. I have an address that librarian.net email goes to and I filter it with procmail so that it goes into one folder. I use WordPress. I dislike all the WordPress solutions I have found so far including Contact Form ][ and Secure Form Mailer.
I'd like something that I can style to fit my themes (often more than one of them) and one where I could set a custom subject line. I'd like it to not attract spambots and I'd like it to not have a CAPCHA if at all possible.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Suggestions?
A Igreja de Todos-os-Santos, melhor conhecida como Igreja do Colégio dos Jesuítas de Ponta Delgada, localiza-se no centro histórico da cidade de Ponta Delgada, na ilha de São Miguel, nos Açores.
O lançamento da pedra fundamental do primitivo templo, ocorreu em 1 de Dezembro de 1592, dia de Todos-os-Santos pelo calendário católico então em voga, na presença do governador, Gonçalo Vaz Coutinho.
Juntamente com o templo, deu-se início ao convento anexo, pelos religiosos da Companhia de Jesus, que ali estabeleceriam o seu Colégio na cidade. Ordinariamente, residiam no convento de 10 a 16 religiosos ligados às funções docentes.
A igreja foi reconstruída na primeira metade do século XVII, quando adquiriu a atual fisionomia. Os trabalhos iniciaram-se em 1637, sendo o atual frontispício adossado ao anterior. Entre 1643 e 1646 foi instalado o novo retábulo na capela-mor. A nova fachada foi concluída em 1666.
Nesta igreja pregou o padre António Vieira, por ocasião da festa da Santa Teresa de Jesus, no dia 15 de Outubro de 1654.
Com a expulsão da Companhia do reino de Portugal, à época Pombalina, o valioso recheio da igreja foi dispersado. Era na biblioteca do Colégio que se encontravam importantes documentos da história dos Açores, como por exemplo, o acervo de Gaspar Frutuoso, inclusive o manuscrito das Saudades da Terra.
Encontra-se classificado como Imóvel de Interesse Público pelo Decreto n.º 39 175, de 17 de Abril de 1953.
Recuperada e requalificada, desde 2004 abriga o núcleo de arte sacra do Museu Carlos Machado, no qual se destaca a pintura "A Coroação da Virgem", de Vasco Pereira Lusitano (1535-1609).
Em 2008 nela foi instalado um grande órgão, obra do organeiro Dinarte Machado, inaugurado por Ton Koopman.
Ecocentro Danaus (<-- video) is located a couple miles east of La Fortuna Costa Rica. It's a fairly small reserve, 600 meters of walking trails, but boy, do they pack a LOT in such a small area. Danaus was created about 13 years ago when some forward thinking people decided it might be better to grow life than cut it down. Danaus is like a mini oasis since it's completely surrounded by pasture and cattle land. Here's what Ecocentro Danaus says about itself: 'Ecocentro Danaus is an ecological reserve that preserves a natural regenerating secondary forest. Many different biological processes take place here and there is a great biodiversity of flora and fauna in its natural state.'Danaus is worth a look if your in the La Fortuna area and you need something to do for a couple hours.

ze strony cepl.sggw.pl/edukacja/ptaki_drap/wypluwki.htm :
Co to są wypluwki?
Około 300 gatunków ptaków produkuje wypluwki. Są to niedużych rozmiarów szczątki, wypluwane przez ptaki. Zawierają niestrawione resztki pożywienia.
Najczęściej do badań wykorzystuje się wypluwki sów. Ponieważ zazwyczaj sowy połykają swoje ofiary w całości lub dużych fragmentach, sposób trawienia nie uszkadza zbytnio części kostnych ofiary. Ptaki drapieżne natomiast w większym stopniu uszkadzają podczas zjadania ofiarę i bardziej rozdrabniają elementy kostne (jednakże również można do badań zawartości wypluwek wykorzystać wypluwki myszołowów).
W wypluwkach sów i ptaków drapieżnych znajdują się elementy kostne, fragmenty pancerzy owadów, sierść i pióra. Wszystko jest ze sobą mocno zespolone i tworzy jedną całość. W wypluwkach innych grup ptaków znajdują się pozostałości po owadach, mięczakach, rybach oraz pokarmie roślinnym (głównie nasiona). Wypluwki produkują również m.in. kormorany, czaple, zimorodki, mewy, bociany.
Jak powstają wypluwki?
Po połknięciu ofiary w żołądku ptaka części miękkie zwierzęcia są trawione, natomiast takie, jak kości, pióra, sierść, chitynowe elementy szkieletu owadów, utwory rogowe ptaków i gadów nie są trawione lub trawione częściowo i z żołądka są wypluwane przez dziób.
Wypluwki nie wchodzą w proces trawienia ptaka i nie mają nic wspólnego z odchodami. Są pozbawione nieprzyjemnego zapachu i stanowią bezpieczny materiał do badań.
Sowy produkują dwie, czasami trzy wypluwki w ciągu doby. Od momentu połknięcia ofiary do wyprodukowania z niej wypluwki mija około 6-8 godzin.
Jak zdobyć wypluwki?
Jest to najtrudniejsze zadanie, które należy wykonać przed rozpoczęciem zajęć. Odszukanie sowich wypluwek wymaga znajomości zachowań tych ptaków. Najłatwiej jest je znaleźć w miejscach wypoczynkowych sów, gdzie przesiadują i "plują", czyli wypluwają wypluwki, i wówczas w takim miejscu występują w dużych ilościach. Należy pamiętać, że wszystkie gatunki sów i ptaków drapieżnych są objęte ochroną. Nie wolno ich płoszyć z miejsc lęgowych i wypoczynkowych. Można również nawiązać kontakt z lokalną organizacją zajmującą się ochroną przyrody, parkiem narodowym lub krajobrazowym, lub z ośrodkami, gdzie leczy się zranione ptaki, ogrodem zoologicznym.
Zebrane wypluwki należy przetrzymywać w zamkniętych pojemnikach, gdyż mogą zawierać larwy moli, które chętnie odżywiają się resztkami sierści znajdującej się w wypluwce. Jednak jeśli mają być przechowywane dłużej w taki sposób, należy je przed włożeniem wysuszyć, aby nie zapleśniały w zamkniętym pudełku. W tym celu wystarczy je włożyć na kilkanaście minut do tradycyjnej kuchenki (w temperaturze ok. 200°C) lub na 20 sek. do kuchenki mikrofalowej.

Oggettistica in Dung Paper con Carta riciclata in cacca d'elefante
ECO MAXIMUS è nata per produrre materiale per cancelleria e regalo da una materia molto "originale". Incredibilmente infatti, i prodotti di carta, totalmente
hand-crafted, sono fatti al 75% di sterco di elefante e per un 25% di carta riciclata.
PERCHE' ECO MAXIMUS ESISTE
Carta in cacca d'elefante
Lo Sri Lanka è la casa a di un decimo dei 40.000 elefanti Asiatici selvaggi, elefanti che in Sri Lanka non vengono uccisi per le loro zanne; non sono uccisi per la carne, poichè nessuno mangia la carne di elefante; non sono uccisi per la pelle, poichè non vi è mercato per non esiste industria della pelle di elefante.
Sono semplicemente uccisi perchè interferiscono con l'agricoltura. Dal 1950, è probabile che più di 4.000 elefanti siano stati abbattuti nel conflitto tra l'uomo e l'elefante.
L'elefante è senza spazio in Sri Lanka. La maggior parte delle aree protette abitate dagli elefanti sono piccole, meno di 1.000 kmq, mentre gli elefanti, possono spostarsi per centinaia di chilometri nel corso di una stagione. Il loro appetito è enorme e gli elefanti e le persone non possono vivere insieme dove l'agricoltura è la forma dominante di utilizzo del suolo, a meno che il danno che causano ai contadini possa essere ricompensato.
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Non ci sono facili soluzioni per risolvere il conflitto! Molto dipenderà da come i contadini percepiranno il valore dell'elefante per fermarne l'uccisione ingiustificata. Molti si stanno convincendo che l'unico modo per convivere pacificamente passi attraverso l'utilizzo dell'elefante come una risorsa sostenibile economica. Lo sterco di elefante è un prodotto finito ed è anche una merce che è liberamente disponibile a in qualunque momento (mediamente ogni elefante adulto ne produce 180-200 kg al giorno) e, fino ad ora, nessuno aveva trovato alcun utilizzo.
Il progetto di Maximus per fabbricare la carta dallo sterco di elefante può aiutare la percezione dei contadini sul valore economico dell'elefante nelle aree di conflitto. Il progetto, cominciato nel 1997, ha prodotto con successo e lanciato sul mercato ciò che è conosciuto come "carta di pachiderma".
In questo modo "la cacca di elefante" prende la forma di quaderni, fogli di carta, scatole, borse ecc. La sola limitazione è l'immaginazione!
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Questi prodotti sono divenuti estremamente popolari fra la popolazione locale ed i turisti stranieri. Anche se lo sterco di elefante non può risolvere il crescente conflitto uomo-elefante, il suo uso a beneficio dei contadini che soffrono andrà certamente ad innalzare il livello di tolleranza di questi ultimi. Se l'elefante sarà visto come un valore economico per contribuire significativamente al benessere delle persone, le stesse non ameranno vederlo scomparire dalla loro area. In conclusione, tutti gli sforzi sarebbero futili senza il sostegno delle comunità locali.
