Sharing my photos here for passion.
Happy about every favorite ;-)
Glad about everyone taking a look and spend time for a comment(what you like or don’t like - composition, aperture, focal length, colors etc)
which gives me new views or better understanding to improve my photography.

Mardi Gras 2010
We were delighted be part of Cardiff Mardi Gras once again this year – the annual celebration of diversity with a mission to change attitudes and increase understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) communities.It was held held at Cooper’s Field, Cardiff on Saturday 4 September. Our Outreach Bus was staffed by our LBGT Staff Network, OUT-NAW, and was visited by more people again this year. We were extremely grateful to those who took time to answer our questionnaire about our engagement with the LGBT community and for views on the best ways of communicating with people about the Assembly elections and the referendum on the Assembly’s powers in 2011.We’re analysing all your answers right now and they are an invaluable contribution to our communication planning for 2011. A number of people also came along for a chat on how best to contact their Assembly Members, the Equality of Opportunity Committee, to discuss our work more generally or to meet the Presiding Officer, Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas, who spent a considerable amount of time meeting visitors and enjoying, as we all did, the lively atmosphere on the field.It was, indeed, a day to celebrate diversity in Wales.

The fabulous world of EV uptake
Understanding which EVs are taken up by specific cells (e.g. tumour cells) and not by others (e.g. healthy cells) or the specific EV uptake mechanisms employed by the target cell (e.g. endocytosis, fusion, etc) is the basis to develop targeted EV therapeutic interventions. EV uptake, however, seems to be heterogeneous, just like the composition and origin of EVs; often reflects the variability in labelling methods. This image is the metamorphosis of my ‘failed’ EV uptake experiments into SciArt. But also, it is a reminder to all of us, and especially those who struggle to write that thesis/ paper/ grant, those whose experiment failed, and those who lost their motivation, that research can be fun and creative! A little play around sometimes can result to amazing ideas… and sometimes to a butterfly made of high-resolution EV uptake images processed using freely available software! Enjoy your science!

The results are expected to have a profound impact on our understanding of comparisons between modern and classical canonical experiments, and the largest volume of direct numerical simulation (DNS) data in the literature (i.e., channel flows). Insights will enable the development of better simulation models and contribute to a scientific database on turbulent flows.
Instantaneous realization of the streamwise velocity field in the AR=10 case at Re_tau=180. Flow is from bottom to top, and the four walls have been removed to allow better visualization. Note that the simulation captures the near-wall streaks on the four walls, and the interaction of ejection events from top-bottom and side walls at the corner.

Global Understanding & Friendship Beyond Borders
Being in Rotary is not a part in our life. It’s our life
It was a great feeling when you have the opportunity to wear rotary logo on your shirt. It’s time to take responsibility on your shoulders to serve your community.
When I joined rotaract movement way back in 2024, I never realized that I will represent RI Dist. 3230 as a goodwill ambassador to become a Member of the GSE Team to RI Dist 1880, North Bavaria & Saxony, Germany, during May /Jun. 2013
We the GSE team Sasi, Sharanya, Soundarya and myself Dinesh headed by Rtn. Sabu Balagopal had many meetings to sketch ourselves from Jan to May 2013 before our departure to Germany. We discussed over mails, regular meetings, get together with Rtns, dist conference thought us how big is the opportunity for us and how should we prepare ourselves to take our 3230 brand to fly high with colors.
40 to 4
Departed from Chennai with 40 degree summer and landed in Leipzig via Frankfurt and cool 4 degree of Germany welcomed us. Wow how cool it was…
We received warm welcome from Albrecht Hartge, GSE chair of RI Dist 1880,Germany with his team. We enthusiastic 5 people was looking forward to our next 30 days. Yes we were much excited.
We experienced and learned many things in Germany starting from history. architecture, historical churches, museums, city visits etc.
We had good opportunity to visit World Headquarters of Audi where they hosted our Indian National flag to welcome us. Rotary power is great. We extended our visits to
Vocational Visits and Networking opportunities
•Berlin- Parliament, Indian Embassy,Charlie Point,Historic wall, Olympic Stadium etc.
•Hosted by TV stations, Radio channels. Our show in German O+TV (www.otv.de/ambergweiden-rotary-club-verbindet-kontinente-...)
•Companies and manufacturing units of Volkswagen, Porshe,
•Great experience by spending in a silver mine
•Visits to University of Leipzig, Regensburg, Frieberg, Bayreuth, Erlangen-Nurnberg to initiate International Youth Exchnage and youth forum
•Joint rotary meetings with Leipzig, Frieburg, Dresden, Bayreuth, widen, Cham,Schwandoff, Regensburg, Erlangen, Nurnmberg etc
•Visits to German Supreme Court and meeting with Judges
•Meeting Mayor and deputy mayors
Home stays- The home away from home
One of the life time experience where sharing proud things about country, learning the new culture and family values of the hosts, late night dinner talks, going out like one family. Overall we never missed our Indian hospitality in Germany.
Rotaractors
As a rotaractor from our district I had good opportunities to visit all the rotaractors in host clubs, I have received invitation to speak in President elect training seminar(PETS) where I had the opportunites to share about our RI dist 3230 Rotaract council and I shared our flag with all the rotaract club members. They were very kind to us and interested to hear about our rotaract activities and they felt excited to hear our numbers 23000 rtrs.
1880 Dist conference, Culture and arts
We presented our 3230 GSE team in a grand manner where we showed about video of India and Tamilnadu and also we performed cultural activities of India with Vande Matharam song by Saranya and Soundarya followed by solo folk dance by Dinesh and karate performance by Sasi. Finally audience felt happy when we performed our group dance with Tamil folk, Bollywood and Hollywood where our team leader also joined in dance performance. On seeing this we received warm invitations from all the rotary clubs . We performed in 7 clubs
Rotary and team Spirit
We had good chance to show our sporting skills. Yes Sasi and me (Dinesh) participated in Dragon Boat Race as part of Rotary clubs of Erlangen Fundraising efforts and finished 2nd in one of the race. Rotary raised 24000 euros for community projects
Future after GSE
We had great time in Germany studying vocation, experiencing culture, learning professionalism etc. It will be a starting point to shape my future . GSE created a platform to think beyond our comfort zone, hard work, team work, communication, networking etc. I believe in sharing and learning and this journey never ends
Coming year I am planning to create strategy to work with our RI 3230 District rotaract council to strengthen our rotaract zone in city plus and upcountry where lot of young people like me longing for opportunities. They need a platform.. I am willing to provide that. Also will build up IT assistance, social networking, planning New generation projects with my Parent club RC of Gudiyattam
After the GSE experience I expanded my Sports for Development Projects to Serve Young People with curriculum like Life skills, Service Learning, Adolescent health, Physical recreation and social learning to reach 10000 kids in 2 years. This will be my next major project and I would like to joint with other rotary clubs to spread the word to reach the unreached

Loreesi battle lines
War spread rapidly through Roawia, Lucius, having received word early of the order of Areani's assassination of the king, and smelling war on the wind, Lucius and his men set forth to there target, the strategic Garheim watchtower on the tip of Lenfald and base of Garheim. Controlling this post would allow the Loreesi to dominate land trade from Garheim and Lenfald. Lucius understanding the extreme importance of this mission, sets off quickly. The Loreesi much through the deserts of Loreos in good spirit, but when they arrive at the Lenfel borders, the morale quickly drops, elven raids are a constant threat, Darting from tree to tree, and peppering the spearmen and horsemen with arrows, and stealing supplies and horses while the Loreesi camp. By the time they reach the middle of Lenfel, they've lost a 4th of there men. With supplies and morale running low, Lucius knowns he needs more men and supplies. Now in Garheim, Lucius travels to the small village of fearichen, close to the watchtower. lucius slips on a peasant disguise while his men wait around the village for the word to step in. As lucius walks the streets looking for supplies for his army, Lucius hears cheering and quickly rounds a corner, A large makeshift stage was set up on the middle of a street, a tall beast of a men wearing the heraldry of a war galley, and 10 or so fully armed men were behind him, they were garheim, carrying huge axes, wearing long beards, and mail or no shirt at all. He preached his words with a strong and determined voice.
"Fellow Garheim! listen to me! your fathers, your brothers, your sons, they rally under a false banner! the banner of a fraud! A spineless Jelly Fish! He let Roawia fall into this state of war, in which your family will die for, not his! He does not fight for his people and instead gets fat off of wine and cheese!
He does not lead your families to battle! Instead he lets his ignorant generals lead his men to battle! They are not true garheim! They have no beards, they equip themselves with the fancy weapons of the South instead of the traditional war axe, They wear not the war paint of our ancestors but the plate armor from the South! These are not true Garheim that you call your leaders! Rally! Rally to me! and I will ensure that all garheims live in peace, and in times of war, fight and die by your side!"
The crowd startd to clear out but Lucius stood in the street thinking, he approached the claimant,
"You speak of bold goals" Lucius said
"I speak only what is true"
"This is a risky thing your doing, if the Garheim find you, you're dead."
"I can fight" He answered.
"What's your name?" Lucius inquired.
"Ragnar the far seeker."
"Well Ragnar, I have a proposition for you."
He unsheathed his blade, the shining metal glittered in the sun, He turned it towards Ragnar so he could examine it.
"Loreesi Steel." he answered
"Right, I am Lucius of Vandaar general of Loreos."
He raised an eyebrow.
"What is your proposal?"
"I need your help."
"With?" Ragnar answered
"We were sent here to seize a watchtower from Garheim control."
"And what's in it for me?" Ragnar inquired
"Words are great, but action is better. If you can prove to the Garheim people that you are strong enough to defeat the Garheim in battle, more men would be willing to join a winning cause."
"How about aid from Loreos?"
"We will fight together now, but this doesn't mean if we face each other on the battle field in the future Loreos will have mercy on you."
Ragnar nodded
" I must make the same promise, if you are a danger to my followers don't expect mercy."
"What about Loreos supporting my cause?"
"That would not be in our best political interest,everyone already thinks were the aggressor, so taking the throne of Garheim might ruin all chances of peace in this kingdom."
Ragnar stuck out his hand
"We have a deal."
Lucius shook his hand.
"Bring some supplies. We leave at midnight."
That night the Loreesi and Garheim rebels march out until the watchtower was in sight.
It stood 50 feet tall, a huge stained glass window, and had multiple archers patrolling the battlements.
"You remember the plan?" Lucius asked.
"Yes" Ragnar answered.
Ragnar knew the geography of this area well, he knew there was a small mountain pass that he and his men could carry the ladder up, and assault the tower from behind. Him and his men quickly started towards it.
Lucius knew it was going to be a while before Ragnar emerged from behind the tower, but he had faith in him.
"Testudo!" Lucius called.
The Loreesi spearmen locked there shield in Testudo formation to block arrows.
"Henrik!" Lucius called to the commander of the cavalry force.
"Wait here, the horsemen won't do any good in this terrain."
Henrik nodded.
The spearmen advanced in test do as the Garheim infantry climbed down from the cliff and prepared to assault. When 30 feet away, Lucius called out
"Break Testudo! Charge!"
The spearmen and Garheim crashed together the fighting was intense. blood covered the little snow that was still on the ground from a snow that fell a few days ago, and in the fall brisk temperatures most had melted. Then a turn in the battle, one by one the Loreesi were cut down, the Garheim had an advantage. Suddenly over the horizon came Henrik's heavy cavalry, having dismounted the charged into the garheim warriors. The loreesi warrior is a versatile one, fighting just as easily on foot as on a horse. the Garheim warriors were slowly pushed agains the cliff, and with no where to run, were slaughtered.
Then from above the cliff there was a shrill war cry the Garheim rebels carrying the ladders, Quickly cut down the Lenfel defenders, who were left on the cliff to defend the tower, they propped the ladders against the tower wall and scaled it, killing everyone in the tower. They Apperaed on the top screaming and cheering, the battle was won.

Scientists announced a new research project aimed at understanding the relationships between severe thunderstorms and how tornadoes form across the Great Plains with the goal of improving forecasts.
They discussed the project, Targeted Observation by Radars and Unmanned Aircraft Systems of Supercells, or TORUS, during a news conference and public open house on Tuesday, May 14, at the Salina (Kansas) Regional Airport.
The TORUS project involves more than 50 researchers using 20 tools to measure the atmosphere, including unmanned aircraft systems, mobile radars and NOAA's WP-3D Orion "Hurricane Hunter" aircraft. Fieldwork will be conducted May 15 to June 16 throughout a 367,000-square-mile area of the Central Great Plains from North Dakota to Texas and Iowa to Wyoming and Colorado.
Funded by the National Science Foundation and NOAA, the project is led by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Partner institutions are the University of Colorado Boulder, Texas Tech University, NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory, NOAA’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, and the University of Oklahoma Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies.
The Memorandum of Understanding renews and expands collaboration on global scientific and technological solutions over the next five years. The extended agreement reaffirms both agencies’ commitment to jointly address critical development and humanitarian challenges affecting the United States and developing countries through the generation and use of scientific research, innovations, and technologies and advances further interagency collaboration under the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE). Specifically, the partnership will draw on NASA's Earth science research and space technology development to help inform USAID’s global programming.

Gli attacchi con droni sono gli elementi più caratteristici della guerra contemporanea. Sia quando utilizzati in scenari di guerra convenzionali sia quando utilizzati per programmi di uccisioni mirate, i droni armati militari sono solitamente operati dietro un velo di segretezza che impedisce ai cittadini e ai giornalisti di accedere ai dati e alle statistiche riguardanti le morti di civili e l’efficienza degli attacchi. Gli Stati Uniti sono di certo il maggior attore nel settore, ma l’uso dei droni si sta diffondendo in tutto il mondo. Le nazioni dove l’utilizzo degli attacchi con drone è maggiormente preoccupante sono lo Yemen, il Pakistan, l’Iraq, l’Afghanistan e la Siria. Il panel proposto discuterà le questioni attuali riguardanti le fonti e il reporting giornalistico sul tema, raccogliendo speaker provenienti da ambienti diversi, inclusi giornalisti investigativi, ricercatori e sostenitori del disarmo. Il panel discuterà le migliori pratiche e i case study per il monitoraggio degli attacchi con drone, come il lavoro svolto dal Bureau of Investigative Journalists; le problematiche riguardanti l’accesso alle informazioni e la trasparenza; il ruolo dei whistleblower e le implicazioni per l’Italia, in particolare per ciò che riguarda il coinvolgimento della base di Sigonella nei programmi di droni e il caso Lo Porto.
Drone strikes are among the most defining elements of contemporary warfare. Both when used in conventional war scenarios or for targeted killing programs, military armed drones are usually operated behind a veil of secrecy preventing citizens and journalists to access data and statistics about civilian deaths and strikes efficiency. The US are certainly the biggest players in the field, but the use of drones is expanding worldwide. Countries where drone strikes usage is more troubling are Yemen, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. The proposed panel will discuss current issues when it comes to journalistic sourcing and reporting on the matter by putting together speakers of different backgrounds, including investigative journalists, researchers and advocates. The panel will discuss best practices and case studies of monitoring drone strikes, such as the work of The Bureau of Investigative Journalists; the issues concerning access to information and transparency; the role of whistleblowers and the implication for Italy, in particular when it comes to the involvement of the Sigonella base in the drone programs and the Lo Porto case.
