Since this is the first time I've tried to constrain my lunch to a 650ml box, I also brought a large Asian pear in case I am still hungry after I eat this. I figure that a large piece of fruit won't defeat the portion-control purpose of the box too much.

This is the scenic Duck River flowing into Old Stone Fort in Tennessee. The fort is actually a 2,000-year-old Native American ceremonial ground. Here, you can see fine examples of both biotic and abiotic factors, as well the temperate deciduous forest biome. Although the water of the river is abiotic, it "contains and constrains life," and is home to over 50 species of freshwater mussels and 151 species of fish, which makes it one of the most biologically diverse rivers in North America. The bridge in the background is abiotic as well, but it is also useful for aquatic life found in the river. It provides cover and structure for fish, and is an excellent place for algae to grow, which is a food source for aquatic life. On occasion, you'll also see some ducks, although I couldn't locate one today.
Praying always In The Spirit
"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints " Ephesians 6:18
What multitudes of prayers we have put up from the first moment when we learned to pray. Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. He heard us. But when he had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we had more prayers for ourselves. We have had to pray for sanctifying grace, for constraining and restraining grace; we have been led to crave for a fresh assurance of faith, for the comfortable application of the promise, for deliverance in the hour of temptation, for help in the time of duty, and for succour in the day of trial. We have been compelled to go to God for our souls, as constant beggars asking for everything. Bear witness, children of God, you have never been able to get anything for your souls elsewhere. All the bread your soul has eaten has come down from heaven, and all the water of which it has drank has flowed from the living rock—Christ Jesus the Lord. Your soul has never grown rich in itself; it has always been a pensioner upon the daily bounty of God; and hence your prayers have ascended to heaven for a range of spiritual mercies all but infinite. Your wants were innumerable, and therefore the supplies have been infinitely great, and your prayers have been as varied as the mercies have been countless. Then have you not cause to say, “I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication”? For as your prayers have been many, so also have been God’s answers to them. He has heard you in the day of trouble, has strengthened you, and helped you, even when you dishonoured him by trembling and doubting at the mercy-seat. Remember this, and let it fill your heart with gratitude to God, who has thus graciously heard your poor weak prayers. “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” [Psa.103:2] Hallelujah, God bless
The day starts at 7:30 am with a 40-minute drive to the Punta Bandera dock to take a boat on Lago Argentino to Upsala Glacier, a large valley glacier on the eastern side of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Its higher portion lies in a disputed territory between Chile and Argentina. The glacier terminus is at Upsala channel of Lago Argentino. The Upsala Glacier is well known for its rapid retreat that has been ongoing since the glacier was first documented in 1810. The glacier showed almost continual recession up until 1999. The acceleration in ice motion during the two decades preceding 1999 may have been augmented by the release of backstress when the glacier retreated beyond the islands in Brazo Upsala. Another period of even faster retreat started in 2008. As of 2018 Upsala Glacier has retreated to such degree that it no longer constrains its tributary Bertacchi Glacier. The boat then drops us off at the Estancia Cristina, an Argentine cattle and sheep ranch located inside Los Glaciares National Park in Santa Cruz Province. It is here that we take a 4x4 for 45 minutes up a mountain, stop and continue up for another 20 minutes, reaching the summit around 12:30 pm. The ranch was founded in 1914 by Joseph Percival Masters, an Englishman who came to Patagonia with his wife in 1900; Estancia Cristina is named for Masters' daughter Cristina. Located on the coast of Brazo Cristina, a northern channel of Lago Argentino, Estancia Cristina still keeps the history of the Masters family alive. Its lodge has 20 rooms distributed over 5 buildings and it his here that we had lunch followed by a presentation of the traditional Mate, an Argentinean tea and a tour of the ranch. We then take the boat back to Punta Bandera and arrive back at the hotel at 8:00 pm.

Vancouver's Adanac bike route is connected with a short counter-flow pathway that allows cyclists use of some surplus right of way alongside a one way street near the eastern edges of downtown.
Cyclists choose routes and make connections of convenience and re-engineering road design is so much better than trying to re-engineer people to constrain themselves to the sometimes awkward patterns of travel that are required of motorists who cannot so easily move in directions that are not laid out for them on the roadways.

One of my objectives of my project 365 (53weeks) is to develop my photographic vision by constraining my subjects in some way. I am always constrained by time; I typically only have a few minutes on weekdays to scout my subject and make the images. Most weekend afford a little more time, but not always. My weekly theme however is an additional constraint.
This week, for example, my theme is 10mm. My focal length for the entire week will be 10 millimeters (since I am shooting with a 40D, that works out to 16mm at a 35mm full frame equivalent). This is a very wide angle of view. The challenge that this presents is to pick camera positions and compositions that produce something interesting.
So far, I'd have to say that it is going to be very hard to keep clutter out of the frame!

John Wesley's Epitaph
To the memory of the venerable
John Wesley, A.M., late fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford.
This great light arose (by the singular providence of God) to enlighten these nations, and to revive, enforce, and defend, the pure apostolic doctrines and practices of the primitive church:
which he continued to do, both by his writings and his labours for more than
half a century:
And to his inexpressible joy, not only, beheld their influence extending, and their efficacy witness'd in the hearts and lives of many thousands, as well in the western world as in these kingdoms:
But also, far above all human power of expectation, liv'd to see provision made by the singular grace of God, for their continuance and establishment to the joy of future generations.
Reader, if thou art constrain'd to bless the instrument, give God the glory.
After having languished a few days, he at length finished his course and his life together, gloriously triumphing over death, March 2nd An. Dom. 1791 in the eighty-eighth year of his age.

If we constrain the whole universe into a paper, the universe will be the whole piece as it is infinite. By the contrast, if the galaxy is sucked into a supermassive black hole, it will shrink until zero, and exist as a particle. By the infinite pull of gravity effecting from the center, the universe is turned into a small spitball, the paper is tossed. I demonstrate the force of gravity by painting a tossed paper as galaxy with scattered stars.
Quantifying the difference in phylogenetic signal along the bloodstream expression site.
A. Three tanglegrams relate the ESAG5 phylogeny with those of ESAG6 (close match), ESAG4 (moderate incongruence) and ESAG1 (severe incongruence). Dashed lines link corresponding expression sites in each tree. Incongruence between trees increases from left to right. B. Comparison of likelihood scores between optimal and constrained tree topologies for ESAG5. The phylogenies of six other ESAG loci (indicated by a cartoon of the expression site) were used to constrain the estimation of the ESAG5 tree; the difference in likelihood score between each of these constrained trees and the optimal ESAG5 tree is plotted along the expression site. Non-significant differences in likelihood are denoted by a dashed circle as evident when constraining the ESAG5 topology with the ESAG6 topology; however, enforcing the topologies of central loci (ESAGs 4 and 8) caused a moderate decrease in likelihood, whilst constraining with ESAGs 2, 11 or 1 caused a larger decrease.

i look drunk =))
oh well XD
i just posted this so you guys could see a larger version of my new headshot!
you see, i've been having this dilemma.
i had no clue on how to make my buddy icon =)) =))
I KNOW. stupid right XD
my problem was, the square was too small.
then i discovered that small check box if i should constrain the box to a square or not.
[sorry if i have wrong grammar. my brain is MUSH due to studying for 5 hours straight. XD take note: that's only one subject =))]
so there i was.
HAPPY as hell that the tiny square became HUGE \:D/ WOO =))
yeah. im so random XD
sorry about that XD

Garbage In Garbage Out
This is the main page from the website FCPEuro, a sales website for automotive parts for cars built by European auto makers like BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Saab and VW.
The page is an example of minimizing Garbage In Garbage Out, and how a thoughtful and simple design can eliminate garbage and get users where they want to go faster without frustration.
Basic users can input their specific vehicle using pull down menus within the blue bar or, if they are a power user, they can input the specific part number to search the entire site. By using pull downs, the developers are positively constraining user choice, preventing data entry error and the necessary code back end to sort or filter inappropriate or unknown choices but also highlighting specifically what they carry. If the user was looking for a Japanese or Korean manufacturer part, but could only find European makers, it is a clear illustration they are on the wrong web page.

The monument's name translates literally to 'Tomb of the Lady', & has earned the nickname 'poor man’s Taj' because it was originally planned to rival the Taj Mahal (but was prevented from doing so due to budgetary constrains)

This neat little galaxy is known as NGC 4526. Its dark lanes of dust and bright diffuse glow make the galaxy appear to hang like a halo in the emptiness of space in this new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Although this image paints a picture of serenity, the galaxy is anything but. It is one of the brightest lenticular galaxies known, a category that lies somewhere between spirals and ellipticals. It has hosted two known supernova explosions, one in 1969 and another in 1994, and is known to have a colossal supermassive black hole at its centre that has the mass of 450 million Suns. NGC 4526 is part of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. Ground-based observations of galaxies in this cluster have revealed that a quarter of these galaxies seem to have rapidly rotating discs of gas at their centres. The most spectacular of these is this galaxy, NGC 4526, whose spinning disc of gas, dust, and stars reaches out uniquely far from its heart, spanning some 7% of the galaxy's entire radius. This disc is moving incredibly fast, spinning at more than 250 kilometres per second. The dynamics of this quickly whirling region were actually used to infer the mass of NGC 4526’s central black hole — a technique that had not been used before to constrain a galaxy’s central black hole. This image was taken using Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. A version of this image was entered into the Hubble’s Hidden Treasures image processing competition by contestant Judy Schmidt. Hidden Treasures was an initiative to invite astronomy enthusiasts to search the Hubble archive for stunning images that have never been seen by the general public.
Due to time constrain, we made this rock band our stopping point. With only 1.5 hours of daylight remaining, we still needed to make the 7.5-miles trek back to the car...in the dark. Eek!

加拿大的民主路走到這裡，出現這樣的聲音。
台灣的政黨政治，顯然已經到了不能沒有道德規範的時間點。
要如何來推動?
大家可以閱讀這篇文章來集思廣益。
"Political parties (政黨)
are institutions of central importance to electoral democracy in Canada.
The actions of political parties, their leaders, elected representatives, candidates, constituency associations, paid staff and volunteer members make a significant contribution to the vibrancy and integrity of Canadian democracy, not only in the electoral arena but more broadly within the wider parliamentary and political processes.
Political parties were once seen principally as private associations of like-minded people dedicated to achieving particular political aims. (原本是基於相同理念的人公開訴求大眾的私人機構)
For the initial five or six decades of the country’s history, the assumption was that political parties would regulate their own behaviour, and, if they crossed ethical lines, the remedy resided in the electoral and wider political process.
(前面五六十年運作公眾都認為這些團體能自我做道德規範也能自己解決逾越道德的行為)
Gradually during the 20th century, political parties also came to be seen as institutions serving public policy purposes related to democracy. (逐漸的黨也進入公共政策領域)
The emergence of this second perception of political parties as public institutions resulted over time in the introduction of laws, regulations, guidelines and reporting and enforcement mechanisms intended to promote and enforce changing norms of responsible legal and ethical behaviour. (這透過立法更加影響公眾對正常的觀念)
The persistence of the earlier perception of parties as private bodies meant that the mechanisms designed to constrain and to shape certain of their activities, especially their campaign activities, were designed not to interfere unduly with their internal structures, decision-making and ongoing operations, particularly outside the campaign period. .......
In summary, contemporary public policy strives to balance respect for the freedom and autonomy of parties as private associations with recognizing, supporting and directing to some extent their various roles in serving the democratic process.
Based on these considerations, the search for sound public policy frameworks to govern elections and the wider political process have relied upon a range of legal, quasi-legal, reporting, monitoring and compliance mechanisms.
These regulatory measures reflect and reinforce important values, principles and ethical expectations, which provide the foundation for Canadian democracy.
Most of the time, most of the people involved with political parties are prepared to respect the legal rules and ethical norms within the political community.
At the same time, partisan competition and the rewards of winning the political contest create incentives for parties and their supporters to seek political advantage by evading, bending or breaking the rules or engaging in activities that are troubling from an ethical standpoint.(原則上參政理念與道德自律公眾認知，然而觀察顯示 並不是如此自制自律 ..."
