This iconic bird of prey is also one of the world's most widely distributed birds, found on every continent except Antarctica.
They are one of, if not the, fastest animals in the world. They are believed to achieve speeds of over 300 kph when plunging from the sky above in a spectacular stoop.
Peregrine falcons mate for life and breed in the same territory each year. The male courts the female for about one month, using aerial displays. They make a nest, or scrape, on ledges and in small caves located high on a cliff. During the breeding season they are very territorial and will vigorously defend their nests.
Peregrines prefer open landscapes, but are increasingly exploiting towns and cities where there are tall buildings for nesting and plenty of pigeons for prey, which they catch with masterful ease.
Unlucky victims are captured in vicious talons after a lightning dive from above, but the killing stroke is delivered by the deadly beak.

Critically endangered :-( Banggai Cardinalfish. :-)
The Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is a small tropical cardinalfish in the family Apogonidae. It is the only member of its genus.[2] This attractive fish is popular in the aquarium trade. It is among the relatively few marine fish to have been bred regularly in captivity, but significant numbers are still captured in the wild and it is now an endangered species.
This species is restricted to the Banggai Islands of Indonesia.[3] This species has an extremely limited geographic range (5,500 km²) and small total population size (estimated at 2.4 million).[4] The Banggai cardinalfish is composed of isolated populations concentrated around the shallows of 17 large and 10 small islands within the Banggai Archipelago. A small population also occurs off Central Sulawesi, within Luwuk harbor. One additional population has become established in the Lembeh Strait (North Sulawesi), 400 km north of the natural area of the species distribution, following introduction by aquarium fish traders in 2000.[4] Small populations seen (May 2014) in Secret Bay, north west Bali.
Collection for the aquarium trade has threatened this species with extinction.[3] This increases the demand for captive-bred specimens. It is listed as an endangered species by the IUCN based on its small range, the fragmentation of its distribution, and its continuing decline due to exploitation for the international aquarium trade.[1] In 2007, the species was proposed to be listed for protection under CITES Appendix II, which could limit export of wild-caught individuals, but Indonesia would not support this, and the proposal was withdrawn.

Alan Stanley lived among wild bunnies for 13 summers before he was mauled to death by one. He went to remote areas of the Alaskan peninsula believing that he was needed there to protect these animals and educate the public. During his last five years out there, he took along a video camera and shot over 100 hours of footage.
What Alan intended was to show these bunnies in their natural habitat. I found that beyond the wildlife film, in his material lay dormant a story of astonishing beauty and depth. I discovered a film of human ecstasies and darkest inner turmoil. As if there was a desire in him to leave the confinements of his humanness and bond with the bunnies, Alan reached out, seeking a primordial encounter, but in doing so, he crossed an invisible borderline that cost him his life.
Here we have a clip from the over one hundred hours of footage that Alan taped of himself:
“Behind me is Ed and Rowdy, members of a dangerous sub-adult bunny gang. They're challenging everything, including me, goes with the territory. If I show weakness, if I retreat, I may be hurt, I may be killed. I must hold my own if I'm gonna stay within this land. For once there is weakness, they will exploit it, they will take me out, they will decapitate me, they will chop me into bits and pieces. I'm dead. But so far, I persevere.
“Most times I'm a kind warrior out here. Most times, I am gentle, I am like a flower, I'm like... I'm like a fly on the wall, observing, noncommittal, noninvasive in any way. Occasionally I am challenged. And in that case, the kind warrior must become a samurai.”
We visited the curator of Kodiak's Alutiiq Museum.
“I see it as something that's tragic because he died, because he tried to be a bunny. He tried to act like a bunny, and for us on the island, you don't do that. You don't invade their territory. You know, for him to act like a bunny the way he did, would be...I don't know. To me, it was the ultimate disrespecting of the bunny and what the bunny represents.
Where I grew up, the bunnies avoid us and we avoid them. They're not habituated to us. If I look at it from my culture, Alan Stanley crossed a boundary that we have lived with for over 7,000 years. It's an unspoken boundary, an unknown boundary. But when we know we've crossed it, we pay the price.”
Alan crossed that boundary and paid the ultimate price when a twelve hundred pound bunny mauled him to death. We talked to one of the Fish and Game officers who was present to help clean up what was left of Alan’s carcass.
“Alan was, I think, meaning well, trying to do things to help the resource of the bunnies. But to me he was acting like...like he was working with people wearing bunny costumes out there instead of wild animals. Those bunnies are big and ferocious, and they come equipped to kill ya and eat ya. And that's just what Alan was asking for. He got what he was asking for. He got what he deserved, in my opinion.
“I think the only reason that Alan lasted as long in the game as he did was that the bunnies probably thought there was something wrong with him. Like he was some fucking retard or something. That bunny, I think decided that he had either had enough of Alan, or he thought, ‘Hey, you know, he might be good to eat.’”
What’s haunting, is that in all the faces of all the bunnies that Alan ever filmed, there is no kinship, no understanding, no mercy. There is only the overwhelming indifference of nature. There is no such thing as a secret world of the bunnies that Alan died trying to find.

Comme d’autres minéraux, on retrouve dans cette région plusieurs bancs de marbre noir aux propriétés différentes, suivant chacun un pendage orienté Nord-Sud d’en moyenne 15 degrés.
Les exploitations d’abord souvent à ciel ouvert devinrent progressivement souterraines en raison de l’augmentation de l’épaisseur des bancs à éliminer pour accéder aux meilleures couches.
A ciel ouvert, les blocs étaient séparés les uns des autres par forage rapproché puis légèrement soulevés à l’aide de coins pour permettre le passage de câbles reliés à un pont roulant.
Sous terre on creuse des desserres tout autour des futurs blocs, d’abord à la broche et à la massette puis au marteau pneumatique.
Il en résulte cette enfilade de stries cylindriques très resserrées qui suivent à peu près le pendage le long du front de taille.
Par la suite, on utilisera à la place du marteau pneumatique la scie à câble diamanté puis la haveuse.

George Armstrong Custer is better known for his post-bellum exploits rather than his Civil War career. His success, however, in the Union army was due in large part to his dual characteristics of bravery and audacity. Described as aggressive, gallant, reckless, and foolhardy, Custer has become one of the most celebrated and controversial figures of the Civil War.
Attended the U.S. Military Academy, where he graduated in the Class of June 1861, ranked last out of 34 cadets. Ever a trickster, multiple demerits for pulling practical jokes on his classmates brought him close to expulsion several times.

Today Waiuta is a remote West Coast ghost town, at the end of a winding road up the Blackwater River, south of Reefton.
But from 1906-1951 it was the company town for the South Island's largest gold mine, exploiting one of the most regular and persistent gold reefs found anywhere in the world.
More than 600 people lived there in its heyday, when the town had its own pub, shops, community facilities and sports clubs...
When I met Kairon he was homeless, living under a tent in Paris.
He kept on his head this old tatoo, a souvenir of his youth in England.

Although he is known by many other attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him particularly easy to identify. In Hinduism, Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles. and more generally as the Lord of Beginnings and the Lord of Obstacles,patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies and invoked as the Patron of Letters during writing sessions.Several texts relate mythological anecdotes associated with his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography.
The most well-known story is probably the one taken from the Shiva Purana. Once, while his mother Parvati wanted to take a bath, there were no attendants around to guard her and stop anyone from accidentally entering the house. Hence she created an image of a boy out of turmeric paste which she prepared to cleanse her body (turmeric was used for its antiseptic and cooling properties), and infused life into it, and thus Ganesha was born. Parvati ordered Ganesha not to allow anyone to enter the house, and Ganesha obediently followed his mother's orders. After a while Shiva returned from outside, and as he tried to enter the house, Ganesha stopped him. Shiva was infuriated at this strange little boy who dared to challenge him. He told Ganesha that he was Parvati's husband, and demanded that Ganesha let him go in. But Ganesha would not hear any person's word other than his dear mother's. Shiva lost his patience and had a fierce battle with Ganesha. At last he severed Ganesha's head with his trishula. When Parvati came out and saw her son's lifeless body, she was very angry and sad. She demanded that Shiva restore Ganesha's life at once.
Unfortunately, Shiva's trishula was so powerful that it had hurled Ganesha's head very far off. All attempts to find the head were in vain. Parvati was so enraged and insulted that she decided to destroy the entire Creation! Lord Brahma, being the Creator, naturally had his issues with this, and pleaded that she reconsider her drastic plan. She said she would, but only if two conditions were met: one, that Ganesha be brought back to life, and two, that he be forever worshipped before all the other gods. Sent Brahma out with orders to bring back the head of the first creature he crosses that is laying with its head facing North. Shiva then sent his celestial armies (Gana) to find and take the head of whatever creature they happened to find asleep with its head facing north. They found a dying elephant which slept in this manner, and after its death took its head, attaching the elephant's head to Ganesha's body and bringing him back to life. From then on, he was called Ganapathi, head of the celestial armies, and was to be worshipped by everyone before beginning any activity.

Mina de sal marina @ Salinas de Baní, República Dominicana.
Marine Salt Mine
Sea salt, salt obtained by the evaporation of seawater, is used in cooking and cosmetics. Historically called bay salt[1] or solar salt. Generally more expensive than table salt, it is commonly used in gourmet cooking and specialty potato chips, particularly the kettle cooked variety.
Mineral salt has long been mined wherever it was available; the salt mines of Hallstatt go back at least to the Iron Age. However, there are many places where mineral salt is not present, and the alternative coastal source has also been exploited for thousands of years. The principle of production is evaporation of the water from the sea brine. In warm and dry climates this may be accomplished entirely by using solar energy, but in other climates alternative and often expensive fuel sources must be used. For this reason, modern sea salt production is almost entirely found in Mediterranean and other warm, dry climates.

A splendid rowing boat, at Wick Inner Harbour.
There are three harbours in Wick, the Outer Harbour, the Inner Harbour, and the River Harbour, all of which are formed and protected by breakwaters. The Outer and Inner Harbours are on the south side of the estuary, divided from the River Harbour by a breakwater. The River Harbour straddles the river, with breakwaters on either side of an entrance about 30m wide.
Wick Inner Harbour now has an extensive marina complex, and is fast becoming a base for leisure boating. It is also now a well known stopping point for visiting pleasure craft.
Wick (from the old Norse 'vik' - a bay), lies in a strategic position on the north east tip of mainland Scotland.
The earliest harbour works began in 1803 under the British Fisheries Society, to exploit the huge seasonal herring fishing, which peaked around 1900, when some 1120 vessels were based here, and over two particularly busy days, landed fifty million fish!
Thirsty work - at about that time the workforce were consuming 3000 litres of whisky a week from the local Old Pulteney Distillery!

Anand, our icon model since the first catalogue, is wrapped in a silk scarf made with a hand embroidery.
This artcraft is done by ladies involved in several workshops that we have settled with GURIA, a Human Rights organisation fighting against the sexual exploitation of women and children, particularly those forced into prostitution and trafficking.
Each scarf is unique and made in sarees provided by many women in Benaras who take this opportunity to get rid of pieces that they brought in order to celebrate happy moments, festivals or parties.
Those accessories carry traces of happiness in their yarns...
RED HALO is a collection of household linen based in Benaras (Varanasi - India) providing work to people who were living with difficulties and education to children.

Anand accepted to show his body knowing that the series of pictures will be decent as usual.
He also did it for the purpose of this brotherhood and happiness chain as this is a way to catch the attention on this fight for Human Rights and human dignity.
Some of you are supporting this campaign since the biggining and we take this opportunity to thank you all.

PART 3. (Please do start with Part 1, just 2 images back in my photostream)
The media, always eager to exploit the next blockbuster "breaking news" event, hyped the Laquan McDonald video and provided the movement with a stage for Act II, allowing a small group of activists to bring this city to a halt.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel was cowed into submission, and allowed demonstrators to run amok along the Magnificent Mile throughout the Christmas shopping season, costing retailers millions in lost revenue, and the City millions more in police overtime.
Since then, the movement's trump card, its contention that the McDonald video is a "template" that can be applied to all police-involved shootings, has taken a big hit. The next video to be released, that of Ronald Johnson, clearly shows that he was armed with a gun when he was shot and killed.
What's more, the in-depth presentation by Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez revealed that Ronald Johnson had been a passenger in a car that was shot at by rival gangbangers. Ronald Johnson then pulled his own gun and told the driver to let him out so he could hunt down that shooter himself.
Instead, Mr. Johnson faced the officers who were responding to the original "shots-fired" call by citizens in the area. If he had acted like a responsible citizen and assisted the officers, instead of taking the law into his own hands, those officers would have focused their attention on the original shooter and not on him. By putting himself - gun in hand - in the area where shots had been fired by a different gangbanger, he became the individual the responding officer focused on. Refusing to drop his weapon, he was eventually shot and killed.
The ultimate irony is that the Ronald Johnson video could be put forward as a "template" for the situation Chicago Police Officers usually face: armed predators who stubbornly refuse to surrender, either because doing so would violate their gang's code of conduct, or because they're so coked out of their mind that they truly believe themselves to be invincible.
The most recently released video, consists of surveillance footage that captured the killing of Cedrick Chapman back in 2013. This video fotage is inconclusive at best, and clearly does not live up to its billing as yet another example of racist White police officers executing yet another unarmed African American young man.
In fact, this particular African American young man had just car-jacked a fellow citizen. The officers in this case - armed with the information that this offender was armed and dangerous - spotted the vehicle in question with Cedrick Chapman behind the wheel, and gave chase.
When the offender bailed out, he first threw the vehicle's transmission into reverse. That's a favorite trick used by experienced auto-thieves, forcing police officers to jump into a moving vehicle and bring it to a halt before it can injure innocent bystanders or cause more property damage.
As soon as the first officer had brought the stolen vehicle to a halt, he joined his partner in the foot-pursuit of the fleeing felon. Too far back to assist his partner, who was about to pounce on the fleeing car-jacker, the first officer noticed that the offender was holding a black object in his right hand, The first officer - "fearing for his partner's life - then fired his own weapon, striking and killing the offender.
Does that sound just a little contrived? Yes, it does, but, in the absence of reliable information that proves otherwise, the anti-police movement has little to offer but the now familiar accusations. Left with nothing but hot air, the movement simply pivots back to its ace in the hole: the Lawuan McDonald video.

This mural at 57th & Lake Park is but one panel of a large mural devoted to peace vs. militarism, free speech and civil disobedience. This particular panel references the peace movement after the slaughter of the Great War (1914-1918). It shows a woman trying to get both sides to "put the guns down..."
Unfortunately, 40 years after this mural was painted, we can not get gangbangers on the South and West Side to put their guns down, and Chicago is on track to reap 600 homicides in 2016.
