Done for a post on my That's Right blog about user experience: thatisright.blogspot.com/2007/02/are-you-experienced.html
To moon, or not two moon: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the photo to proffer
The single exposure of prevailing light conditions,
Or to take another darker than the first,
And by imposing blend them?
One day the double and triple exposure in camera blending to incorporate high lights and low lights into a single exposure might make edits like Two moon or not to moon (106 with Moon added) and Two moon or not to moon (107 with Moon added) completely obsolete. Until that day dawns and those cameras are ready we have photo editing available. I am never sure that a moon looks half as good as it first did in a photograph once you have seen that it has been edited in. With the old printing techniques of dodging and burning it was possible to create a new view and no one would ever see the original negative or positive to get that let down feeling. These originals and edits are shared to offer a comparative view on enhancing or even introducing the moon into pictures.
Taken on Friday at UW-Milwaukee. I was chilling outside the Music Building while my sister took a Music Theory exam.
No idea what it's for, but nonetheless it's catchy.
I love the 'we' instead of 'you.' It sounds so united.
It was a gorgeous day. It wasn't cold, or warm. Happily in the middle. I love weather like that. Today however is quite the opposite. It is alternating between rain & snow. Just stick with either winter or spring! :P
Everywhere I look I see things to photograph... I am contemplating getting a pro account & starting a 365. What do you think?

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

I have been asked a great question "Why do you paint a third eye in your Origami Riots animals?
Let me share some thoughts then.
Firstly, the third eye is a symbol of awakening.
Secondly, the animals themselves represent their relevant totem or spirit animal. Here, the deer stands for alertness, intuition as well as; according to shamanic traditions, “Magical ability to regenerate, being in touch with life’s mysteries”.
Hope it helps.

Due to harsh Government rules and regulations Maders tobacconist has dark and empty store front windows in the little shop that's been on Aberdeen Street for 50 years ? Meanwhile, the liquor store up the street on Main sits on the finest piece of prime commercial real estate in town, has the largest store front display windows around, the biggest NSLC sign, and is by far the nicest, brightest, cleanest, classy-est, and most well stocked with aisles and aisles of an unlimited selection of alcohol which is the only product they sell in this massive Govt owned specialty shop single product only delux department store ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/9344935900

Tobacco :
A highly disproportionate Government taxation is forced on purchasers of a singled out long time publicly sold legal product ? Tobacco users must now pay the equivalent of over 4 times the amount of Government sin tax on their product as do the users of alcohol pay on their product even though stats show that alcohol use ranks twice as much in cost to society due to substance use as does tobacco ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

A stifling, superfluous, unimaginable shocking Sin Tax on cigarettes ? The Maders street window in downtown Kentville is allowed to display Government gambling ads but not the product he's been selling for 50 years, and so he has instead revealed the huge Government Sin Tax currently being charged to the customer on his purchases of tobacco ? He was later ordered to take it down.. www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/9344935900
When legally purchasing a tobacco product you are now charged a Government Sin Tax at a proportional rate equivalent to over 4 times more to that charged on alcohol even though the alcohol product is far more destructive and far more costly to society ? The extreme bias and obvious discrimination against this one singled out legal product is the direct result of years of one-sided single product only Government lobbying by those who despise smoking but do not appear to have a problem with any of the other more harmful bad habits such as smoking marijuana, alcohol, junk food, obesity, or gambling ? Over the years there has been a lot of misinformation and gaslighting submitted by radical tobacco haters in order to stack their extremely biased arguments against one particular legally sold product that they don't like ? This single product lobby has resulted in a severe over-taxation now being levied on the unfortunate paying customer ? Does this extremely unfair Sin Tax situation caused by biased and unproven radical theories constitute a form of harassment and consumer fraud against an honest paying customer ? A Class action tax recovery suit and application for a fair share of the recent 24 billion dollar tobacco reclamation suit to be returned to the customer is being considered to compensate consumers for their financial loss due to extreme over taxation charges ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...
August 16, 2023 - Unfortunately, cancer diagnosis rates are going way up in a new generation ? Studies find that cancer diagnosis rates are going up in younger adults, driven largely by a rise in women and in people in their 30s ? Unlike previous generations, this is a generation made up of much fewer smokers ? www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/health/early-onset-cancer-increase...
May 13, 2024 - May 13, 2024 - Many Smokers have quit yet while the number of persons actually smoking keeps going down - cancer rates blamed on smokers keeps going up ? Monday's issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal says Cancer is still your leading cause of premature death in Canada. Stats Canada data says it has accounted for 25 per cent of the deaths in 2022, however more people than ever are now surviving. Researchers projected there will be 247,100 new cancer diagnoses and 88,100 cancer deaths in 2024, up from last year ?

Sept 4th, 2023 - A tenacious, well funded, well-organized biased and somewhat radical anti tobacco lobbying campaign with its focus always on tobacco products only appears to have failed miserably in its promise of reducing heart and lung disease ? Figures now show that after many years of a strategy that had focused mainly on tobacco, that on their watch while instead of the cancer rates going down as they promised, cancer numbers have instead soared upwards especially among young adults who are mostly non smokers ?

Has this blinkers on focused strategy distracted from, or even prevented the discovery of the real cause or causes of all these cancers ? If it isn't smoking, then what is it and why aren't they getting warning labels on whatever it is ?

May 31, 2023 - Canada has created a brand new Cabinet position called Minister of health and Addictions, and Carolyn Bennett has started off with yet another repeated attack on tobacco by ordering that 50 additional dire warning messages ( 25 in French and 25 in English) must be placed on or within the cigarette package that is already overcrowded with many dire warnings and graphic pictures ? This is getting interesting ? First they favor alcohol products by giving them a generous 4 times the Sin Tax break over tobacco products, and then they create and pass legislation that legalizes and enables smoking cannabis, and then they create more legislation in Bill C-218 that will open the flood gates to enable legal at home and mobile phone sports parlor betting and casino gambling as never before seen or imagined in Canada - And then after aiding, abetting and enabling all of these social vices through new Liberal legalization, they will then create a Cabinet position called the Minister of mental health and addictions, and her first order of business is to once again go after tobacco while ignoring and never mentioning sports parlor betting, on-line gambling, marijuana or alcohol ?

Ottawa May 31, 2023 - Canada has made history, (and Guinness book of records) ? The Canadian Government has ordered that 50 dire warnings be placed on or inside cigarette packages already 75% covered with multiple warnings and graphic images and must always be hidden away from public view in drawers in stores ? Meanwhile the number 50 also just happens to be the same number of new at-home on-line gambling las vegas style gambling casinos and sports betting parlors that have quickly opened for business in Canada following this same Liberal Government's recently enacted Bill C-218 ?

Lobbyists claim 10's of thousands of Canadians die each year from smoking but strangely enough not one of the 10's of thousands of official death certificates posted will ever list or use the word 'smoking' as an official cause of that particular death ?

Each year the Province of Nova Scotia publishes an official Government financial statement showing tax revenue collected from sales of Sin Tax legal adult recreational products. The Sin Tax products listed are : alcohol ( NSLC sales ), tobacco, gambling (Atlantic lotto/casino), and, now Cannabis (NSLC ) ? According to numbers stated and based on total purchases, the smokers appear to be paying 4 tax dollars into the Government coffers for every 1 tax dollar the drinkers pay in ? This would be equivalent to 4 times more Provincial tax now being charged to the smoker as that being charged to the alcohol purchaser ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52649460406/in/datepos...

'Why don't we just blame everything on smoking ? '
Stats Can, October 16, 2017 - The Conference Board of Canada says that although actual smokers have decreased dramatically in numbers, deaths and health care costs attributed to smoking are still increasing dramatically ? They explain that the reason for the unusual paradox may lie in the way they compute statistics . The calculations include all lifetime sickness and negative health problems (both physical and mental) ever incurred by the smoker in their entire lifetime even if they quit and were a non smoker ? And so, even if you smoked at one time or another in life and then quit, all health issues and illnesses experienced over your entire lifetime will be blamed by them on smoking and seen by them as being caused by smoking ? And so, for example, If an ex smoker dies naturally at say age 80, his death and all of his lifetime sickness and negative medical issues even if a non smoker for 50 years are counted by them as caused by smoking ? www.cbc.ca/news/business/smoking-economic-cost-1.4357096
Desperate anti tobacco lobbyists stoop to play the race card and weaponize the common cigarette ? In nonsensical lobbying they portray menthol cigarettes as a racist weapon specifically invented, manufactured and distributed to harm black smokers in America ? And as a direct result of such ridiculous propaganda being gaslighted to Americans, a long time freedom of choice and a guaranteed right has now been taken away from many citizens after menthol smokes were banned from sale in the USA similar to Canada ? read "How the tobacco industry targeted Black Americans with menthol smokes" www.npr.org/2022/04/29/1095291808/tobacco-industry-target...

Why do they always place high priority only on the smoking habit only and why do they hide and never mention the many other bad habits ? Is it because those who occupy high profile political and social positions are in a position to exercise their own personal opinion on a product they themselves happen to detest ? Or has a biased radical opinion gradually become the politically correct one ? It is noticed that they they never show any such radical opinion against pot, gambling, obesity or alcohol ? It is noteworthy that in Countries where those in power do not hold a personal grudge or strong bias towards one particular product, for example Turkey, where today's price for a pack of Marlboro is $ 1.73 American when purchased at the local tobacconist ? www.thesun.co.uk/money/24653882/kings-speech-charles-rish...

Global news 2023 - It seems strange that although smoking and smokers are way down, Rob Cunningham's Canadian Cancer Society says deaths per year caused by smokers are way up ? They also claim that 1 in 3 cancer cases in Canada are still being caused by these same smokers ? Given that in the last 10 years the actual number of smokers has gone down by half, it was interesting when Cunningham and the Minister of Health said recently that in 2022 there were a whopping 46,000 deaths related to smoking ? This is 10,000 or 30% more than it was 10 years ago in 2011 when there were only 36,000 deaths reported caused by smokers even though there were twice as many smokers smoking then ? And so the 2022 figures don't make any sense ?

Is this not the same as the alcohol industry running drinking ads to encourage drinking by telling you how much to safely drink per day, or, how about the tobacco industry running ads promoting safe smoking thru a suggested amount of safely smoked cigs per day, or the marijuana industry recommending the number of joints to safely get high on each day ? Or, what if they spin : You're 'good' if you drink but You're 'great' if you safe drink, or you're 'good' if you smoke cigarettes but You're 'great' if you safe smoke only this many cigarettes, or you're 'good' if you smoke pot but you're 'great' if you only smoke this many grams per day ? ref, "All those sports betting ads you're seeing,, It's illegal says the Alberta gaming commission ?" www.cbc.ca/player/play/2302654019728

'It's never enough' and 'we're never ever satisfied' seems to be the standard in the never ending, blinkers on, one-product only, singularily focused attack on a social product they don't approve of, but on the other hand they always overlook and will never mention the incredible progress, innovation and continual expansion of other worse social habits (or vices) such as alcohol, pot, gambling, etc etc. that are all, while under their watch, enjoying unprecedented growth, expansion, profit and success ? www.cbc.ca/player/play/2302654019728

YOUTH FOR EQUALITY, JNU CHAPTER.
31.10.06 .
One after another pamphlet is giving convincing testimony about the left hypocrisy in the campus. To answer a question, they prefer to ask another question!! They deflect the attention with utter shamelessness. They do it again and .
again in such a way that the person or organization facing them may easily discount them as rational. At the top oftheir pamphlet, the SFI-AJSF combined demanded 27°/o CASTE BASED RESERVATION, which includes CREAMY LAYER also!!!! And at the very next line they are repeatedly asking why YFE and other organizations were not .
present for the Merit-cum-Means scholarshjp agitation rituall)' organized every year in the month of September. They .
are not sure about the concept of Merit. whether to support or oppose!! They are equally confused about the idea of .
Means that is economic criteria, whether to agree or disagree with. .
To get a more accepted confusion from the left point of view look at this piece ofArticle appeared in People's .
, 1990 on NEED FOR ECONOMIC CRITERION in Democracy, Communist Mouthpiece dated September £'.
Reservations For OBCs written by Com. Prakash Karat. It said "The CPJ(M) has, however, qualified this support (NEED FOR ECONOMIC CRITERION) on two counts. Firstly, it has argued for an economic criterron within the .
reservation for OBCs. Four decades of socio-economic developments and growth ofcapitalism have led to class .
differentiation within the caste structure. In the case ofOBCs, if is well known that there are a few castes in different .
States which contain influential srrata who own land and other means ofproduction. They are well represented in the The complexities of the OBC problem lies, thus, in the fact that within some .
political po·wer structure also. .
communities of the OBCs rhere is a great economic (inter-caste) differentiation and also there is inter-caste .
differentiation, i.e., compared to a few better-offcommunities there are a number ofmore backward communities. In .
order to see that the landless as compared to the richer landed, the poor as compared to the affluent, the more .
bachvard as distinct from the strata ofthe developed--i.e. the majority ofthe poor and deprived ofthese communities .
This criterion need not necessarily be just an income ceiling, but can be a package in which income tax assessments, extent oflandholding,-benefit from reservation, THE CPI (M) WANTS AN ECONOMIC CRITERION. .
professional status ofparents, etc., can be taken into consideration. " The local communists often eat crow as their .
every previous fundamentals have been discredited by non other than their own self. .
The communists of this campus are composed of false propagandists. They do not know the fact. For their .
information and knowledge, there is no reservation for foreign national at PG level at AIIMS as L~ey mentioned in yesterdays parr.phlet. It is totally a false propaganda and shows their ignorance. 5 seats are reserved for the foreign nationals in the MBBS level that is graduation level, not at PG level and it account 10% of the seats. This is because, since the AIIMS is established under the Colombo Plan, the Government had to oblige its stature. And these 5 seats do not go to any foreign national, it only go to students of under developed African and Asian nations like Nigeria, Zambia, Ethiopia and Nepal etc. Do the communists feel that these countries are also imperialist country and their poor nationals must be barred from entry?? Do the communists have objection on Colombo Plan (1951) .
where tbey prefer to organize big events like World Social Forum Conference with corporate funding? Thedesigned to improve the plight of under developed nations?? Now what is their stance on the poor of Africa, .
communists may prefer another question to answer tbese pertinent questions. .
Surprisingly the Communists ofthis campus extolling their illusory previous achievements in such a way that it is only exposing their falsity, starkly. The pamphlet dated 30.10.06 narrated with great details about the endeavors the .
communists leaders made in the past to improve the student funding in this campus. It is the misfortune of this .
university that they have blocked more than what they allow to come into this university. Till early 1980s, every JNU student was entitled to get a scholarship with his or her admission. This was discontinued sometime during 1983-84. .
In 1982, the communists, who are now too concemf>d about the political class, blocked the entry ofIndira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India (then head of the political class) into the JNU Campus just to show their disruptive capacity. The net result---stopping of convocation ceremony in JNU then onwards. .
All students of Science Schools in JNU were use to get scholarship with their entry, as the entry into JNU and .
IISc, Bangalore were considered equal to the passing of CSIR and UGC conducted JRF examination. It was till 1998, when it was all stopped and the scientific research of this campus has been at the receiving end till then. The communists were as usual propagating a different ideal suitable to their political interest as they ha:-dly bother about the .
scientific development, which possessed the capability to expose the Marxism. It is high time to expose them and confined them with in the text book only. s& s~ Manprcet Kaur Prakash Chandra Dash YFE Representative YFE Representative .
