Statistics Lie by lmkemper

A WOMAN IS OFTEN MEASURED by the things she cannot control. She is measured by the way her body curves or doesn’t curve, by where she is flat or straight or round. She is measured by 36-24-26 and inches and ages and numbers, by all the outside things that don’t ever add up to who she is on the inside. And so, if a woman is to be measured, let her be measured by the things she can control, by who she is and who she is trying to become. Because as every woman knows, measurements are only statistics and STATISTICS LIE.

Clean Water for Bathing by elycefeliz

Water Washed Diseases

World Water Day

There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050. Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we ‘drink’ is embedded in the food we eat: producing 1 kilo of beef for example consumes 15,000 litres of water while 1 kilo of wheat ’drinks up’ 1,500 litres.

When a billion people in the world already live in chronic hunger and water resources are under pressure we cannot pretend the problem is ‘elsewhere’. Coping with population growth and ` -- - - ensuring access to nutritious food to everyone call for a series of actions we can all help with:
- follow a healthier, sustainable diet;
- consume less water-intensive products;
- reduce the scandalous food wastage: 30% of the food produced worldwide is never eaten and the water used to produce it is definitively lost!

- produce more food, of better quality, with less water.

I am grateful for clean water to wash in -

First Presbyterian Church, St. Marys, Ontario, Canada by Billy Wilson

4

Built 1879-81 at no. 147 Widder Street East.

"In 1852, a modest frame church was built on this site, but as St. Marys grew a larger church was deemed necessary. Construction on this church began in 1879. It was completed in 1881 at the cost of $12,000. The interior was renovated in the 1960s to accommodate the further growing congregation when two local Presbyterian congregations united. In 1988, disaster struck when the massive stone chimney collapsed with stones tearing through the fabric of the building right to the basement. The congregation, and the entire community, rallied in support. Repairs were made and a stronger faith community emerged. The architecturally sympathetic addition to the east containing offices, Sunday School, meeting space and the church library was opened in 1993. The limestone structure is an example of Gothic Revival style, featuring steep rooftops, a tall spire, and large stained glass windows along the exterior of the hall." - info from the Town of St. Marys.

"St. Marys is a town in southwestern Ontario, Canada. It is located at the confluence of the north branch of the Thames River and Trout Creek southwest of Stratford, and is surrounded by the Township of Perth South in Perth County, Ontario. St. Marys operates under its own municipal government that is independent from the county's government. Nonetheless, the three entities "enjoy a large degree of collaboration and work together to grow the region as a leading location for industry and people". Census data published for Perth County by Statistics Canada includes St. Marys and most Perth County publications also do, at least in some sections of the document.

The town is also known by its nickname, "The Stone Town", due to the abundance of limestone in the surrounding area, giving rise to numerous limestone buildings and homes throughout the town. St. Marys Cement, a large cement producer founded in the town, capitalized on this close feed stock, and grew to be a major producer of cement in the province of Ontario.

St. Marys is home to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. It is the burial place of Arthur Meighen, Canada's ninth prime minister. Timothy Eaton, who went on to become one of Canada's most famous retailers, opened his first businesses in Canada in nearby Kirkton, Ontario, and later St. Marys." - info from Wikipedia.

Aga Khan Medical and Diagnostic Centre, Naryn by Aga Khan Foundation

According to national statistics the population in Naryn Oblast has limited access to health care services and faces health concerns, such as child and maternal mortality that are higher than national average rates for the rest of the country. In response to this challenge and to increase access to high-quality health care and promote quality of life by maintaining international standard of health service, the Aga Khan Health Services established the Aga Khan Medical and Diagnostic Centre (AKMDC) in Naryn which was inaugurated in May 2016. AKMDC is a private and not-for-profit consultation and diagnostic centre.

The Centre, operating under a licence issued by the Ministry of Health of Kyrgyzstan, is staffed with qualified doctors, nurses and paramedics to provide reliable and affordable services in gynaecology, obstetrics, cardiology, family medicine and paediatrics.

Equipped with a general x-ray, Doppler ultrasound, ECG services, gastro-endoscopy services with generous support of the Government of Canada and the AKDN, the Centre offers full laboratory services including biochemistry, pathology and haematology tests. A well-equipped and well-stocked high quality pharmacy is available to accommodate to the patient’s needs.

Position: Pitcher

Bats: Right • Throws: Right

6-0, 200 lbs

Born: November 16, 1880 in Neu-Norka, Russia - family settled in Red Oak, IA around 1890

Died: January 19, 1933 (Aged 52) in Tacoma, WA

Buried: New Tacoma Memorial Park, Tacoma, WA

Full Name: Conrad Starkel

Nickname: Connie

Conrad Starkel (b. November 16, 1880 – d. January 19, 1933 at age 52), was a professional baseball player who played pitcher in the Major Leagues in 1906. He would play in one game for the Washington Senators.

A chronological summary of his career is as follows:

1901 - He joined the Northern Pacific ships team of Tacoma, his first effort in organized baseball.

1902-03 - Played at Walla Walla, WA, Wallace, ID and in four games for Olympia of the Southwest Washington League finishing with a 0-3 record.

1904 - Played in Idaho for the Boise Fruit Pickers, the Pacific National League champions where he fashioned a 21-10 record and finished the season with a 3-8 record for Portland of the Pacific Coast League.

1905 - Drafted by the New York Yankees club but was “farmed out” to Montgomery, AL where he was 15-7 and then for three games with Indianapolis.

1906 - Con made his major league debut on April 19th, 1906 with the Washington Senators of the American League. Unfortunately, he saw little action with the Senators, pitching three innings in just one game, and gave up six runs on seven hits and recording two walks and one strikeout. He completed the season appearing in 27 games for Albany of the New York State League and in seven games for Baltimore of the Eastern League.

1907-09 - With his pitching arm starting to weaken, Con joined up with the Aberdeen Black Cats of the Northwestern League in 1907 and 1908 and then the Grays Harbor entry in 1909. Starkel compiled a 20-17 record for the Black Cats in 1907 and went 15-21 his second year with the club. One of his teammates was 18 year-old Jack Fournier, a native of Aberdeen, who went on to enjoy a 15 year major league career with the Chicago White Sox, St. Louis Browns and Brooklyn Dodgers where he lead the National League in home runs in 1924 with 27. As a member of the Grays Harbor Grays in 1909 the team won the Northwestern League championship.

1910 - Starkel’s next journey took him north of the border where he played for the Moose Jaw Robin Hoods of the Western Canada League where he appeared in 35 games while amassing a 9-8 record before moving closer to home to play briefly for the Chehalis Gophers of the Washington State League.

Con was back up in Canada in 1911 as a member of the Victoria Bees of the Northwestern League and finished with a 5-12 record.

Starkel then gave professional baseball one final fling playing for the Tacoma Tigers of the Northwestern League in 1912 under manager Mike Lynch and alongside notable teammates Ten Million of Seattle and Bert Hall and Cy Neighbors of Tacoma. When Con finally hung up the cleats, at age 31, he had endured 10 seasons in the minor leagues and finished with a 103-111 won-lost record.

(9 April 1913) - STARKELL WILL BE THIRD UMP IN WESTERN TRI-STATE - "Con" Starkell will be the third umpire in the Western TrI-State league, according to an announcement from President W. N. Sweet to Secretary L. M. Brown. Starkell held an indicator in the league at the close of the season last year and gave general satisfaction. He was good on balls and strikes, ran the games fast, was fair and Impartial and kept the players under control without any unseeming display of authority. His selection will meet with satisfaction here.

(15 July 1913) - Connie Starkell, memories of whom still make local fans scowl, got In bad with North Yakima fans last week and, according to reports, was chased over the center field fence after one game. However, he will hold the indicator in that town this week while Russ Hall will do duty here. We should worry.

(23 July 1913) - Richardson Replaces Starkell - WALLA WALLA, Wash., July 22. (Special) Con Starkell was released as Western Tri-State League umpire today and James Richardson, of Boise, was appointed in his place. Connie Starkell ex Northwestern League pitcher, who made the unfortunate slip of getting in bad with some of the team managers and fans. A demand was made for his release and President Sweet handed him his time. The league lost a good Indicator-holder as a result.

Bournemouth .With seven miles of golden sands and sparkling sea, the vibrant cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth has it all - a vast variety of shops, restaurants and holiday accommodation, buzzing nightlife and endless countryside with beautiful award winning gardens and water sports galore. Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. According to the mid-year estimates for 2010 from the Office for National Statistics the town has a population of 168,100, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of about 400,000.

Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth.

Although Bournemouth is on the coast, the centre of the town lies inland - the commercial and civil heart of the town being the Square. From the Square the Upper and Lower Pleasure Gardens descend to the seafront and the pier. Areas within Bournemouth include Bear Cross, Boscombe, Kinson, Pokesdown, Westbourne and Winton. Traditionally a large retirement town, Bournemouth (mostly the Northbourne, Southbourne and Tuckton areas of Bournemouth together with the Wallisdown, and Talbot Village areas of Poole) has seen massive growth in recent years, especially through the growth of students attending Bournemouth University and the large number of language schools teaching English as a foreign language.

Bournemouth is located directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile ( 153 km ) section of beautiful and largely un spoilt coastline recently designated a World Heritage Site. Apart from the beauty of much of the coastline, the Jurassic Coast provides a complete geological record of the Jurassic period and a rich fossil record. Bournemouth sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. Bournemouth also has seven miles ( 11 km ) of sandy beaches that run from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks, in Poole, in the west.

Because of the coastal processes that operate in Poole Bay, the area is often used for surfing. An artificial reef was expected to be installed at Boscombe, in Bournemouth, by October 2008, using large sand-filled geotextile bags. However, this deadline was not met, and the construction was actually finished at the end of October 2009. The Boscombe Reef was constructed as part of the larger Boscombe Spa Village development. Bournemouth also has several chines ( e.g., Alum Chine ) that lead down to the beaches and form a very attractive feature of the area.

The Dorset and Hampshire region surrounding Bournemouth has been the site of human settlement for thousands of years. However, in 1800 the Bournemouth area was largely a remote and barren heathland. No one lived at the mouth of the Bourne River and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen, turf cutters and gangs of smugglers until the 16th century. During the Tudor period the area was used as a hunting estate, Stourfield Chase, but by the late 18th century only a few small parts of it were maintained, including several fields around the Bourne Stream and a cottage known as Decoy Pond House, which stood near where the Square is today.

With the exception of the estate, until 1802 most of the Bournemouth area was common land. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 and the Inclosure Commissioners' Award of 1805 transferred hundreds of acres into private ownership for the first time. In 1809, the Tapps Arms public house appeared on the heath. A few years later, in 1812, the first residents, retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell and his wife, moved into their new home built on land he had purchased from Sir George Ivison Tapps. Tregonwell began developing his land for holiday letting by building a series of sea villas. In association with Tapps, he planted hundreds of pine trees, providing a sheltered walk to the beach ( later to become known as the ~ Invalids walk ). The town would ultimately grow up around its scattered pines. In 1832 when Tregonwell died, Bournemouth had grown into small community with a scattering of houses, villas and cottages.

3.000 FOTOS by Eduardo Arias Rábanos

La marca ya se logró hace unos días. Entonces, ya escribí unas reflexiones (eduardoariasrabanos.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/3000-fotos-ba...) sobre lo que este hecho me suscitaba. Sospecho que el texto quedó muy poco melancólico, sí muy pesimista y aquejado de un realismo incompleto, si no inexacto.

Si bien se mira, da igual que sean 3.000, 5.000 o un millón. Es lo mismo. Son muchas. Y son muchas porque uno ha invertido mucho tiempo y mucho trabajo en que dichas imágenes estén ahí. También mucho dinero, porque los viajes no salen gratis, pero ésa es otra historia. Hablamos de mucho. Hablamos de cantidad. Lo que festeja esta entrada es una cantidad. Pero, ¿y la calidad? Para la calidad no hay parámetros tan exactos. Sí, en cambio, algunos indicadores. Pero un artista, incluso los más pagados de sí mismos, albergan dudas e inseguridades sobre la naturaleza, la calidad de cuanto sale de ellos. A mayores, en un medio como éste el gusto o la satisfacción (como en otras redes sociales) se mide a golpe de comentario, o de inclusión en una carpeta de favoritas, o tan sólo por la estadística que cada visita genera, a nivel global o a nivel individual de cada fotografía. Pero el gusto o la satisfacción o la recurrencia hacia el sitio, tampoco certifican la calidad. La soledad del creador en ese punto es abrumadora. Aunque a mí sólo me abruma muy de cuando en vez.

Si, siendo extremadamente generosos, me introdujera a mí mismo una buena dosis de autoindulgencia, y decidiera que el 1 % de mis fotos son realmente extraordinarias, saldrían 30. ¿Tiene Henri Cartier-Bresson 30 obras maestras? ¿Las tiene Capa? ¿Ansel Adams llegó a esa cifra? ¿Tiene Annie Leibovitz tal cantidad de retratos excelentes? Vamos a suponer que sí, lo cual en algún caso sería mucho imaginar. (Lo cierto es que yo, por haber concebido y logrado 30 imágenes imperecederas, ¿quién sabe lo que daría?). Pero estamos hablando de dioses de la fotografía. Y yo ni soy una dios, ni llego siquiera a mensajero o copero de las divinidades del Olimpo. ¿Entonces?

Tal vez el problema sea definir qué es una foto buena, cuál una obra maestra, por qué una imagen resulta prescindible, pese a su agradable visionado, o cuáles son los rasgos por los que algunas fotografías, una vez vistas, no se olvidan jamás. Vamos, el problema de cualquier disciplina artística. Y eso sí que es un problema.

De modo que el análisis se cierra por insoluble. Yo me quedo con lo que pienso de mis fotos. Quienes me visitáis tenéis vuestras opiniones. Y lo único objetivo del asunto es que tengo algo más de 3.000 fotografías de difusión pública, algunos cientos de miles en las bodegas de mis discos duros, y muchas ganas de seguir colgando dos fotos diarias, cuatro cuando se puede, y si no se cuelga ninguna, tampoco pasa nada. La vida sigue. Y hay más vida además de la fotografía.

Un saludo agradecido a todos quienes me visitáis, comentáis, criticáis, valoráis.
