More smoke photography tonight. Although nothing really caught my eye - I thought this was an interesting abstract.
Ler e Formar Leitores no século XXI – leitura e inclusão foi o tema do II Encontro de Bibliotecas Escolares do Alentejo, que decorreu, durante os dias 3 e 4 de julho, no auditório dos Serviços Comuns do Instituto Politécnico de Beja.
Este evento contou com a organização da Coordenação Interconcelhia da Rede de Bibliotecas Escolares, do Instituto Politécnico de Beja e da Câmara Municipal de Beja - Biblioteca Municipal de Beja José Saramago. Teve por objetivos analisar o contributo das bibliotecas e da formação leitora para o exercício de uma cidadania mais consciente, crítica e responsável, assim como evidenciar o papel educativo e formativo das bibliotecas e da leitura no contexto da organização, estratégias e objetivos curriculares das escolas e da melhoria das aprendizagens. Pretendeu igualmente refletir sobre as problemáticas associadas à função e responsabilidade social das bibliotecas, enquanto fatores de inclusão, igualdade e justiça social, além de perspetivar possibilidades e vias de desenvolvimento das bibliotecas e das políticas de leitura no sentido da sua atualização e adaptação aos desafios e exigências do presente.

Selv i de simpleste produkter er design ubevidst stærkt medvirkende til produkternes succes.
Kleenex æsken er et ikon med den krøllede serviet stikkende op. Parat til at tude i. Magisk hives den næste serviet op når man tager een efter een efter een........
Kleenex, OB eller Libresse et designet til ikke at være i vejen. Til at udføre en handling – suge sekreter – så diskret og underspillet som muligt, med størst muligt oplevet komfort som muligt.
Design af bortsmidning er vidt forskellig, men en smagssag. Hos OB trækker man i en snor og hos Libresse hiver man i et bind tapet fast til en trusse.

Incense Burner in the Form of a Duck, Song dynasty (960–1279), 12th century, China
In its subtle elegance, this incense burner reflects the refined sensibility of Song dynasty China’s cultural elite—members of the imperial court as well as newly affluent and well-educated classes of merchants and government officials. The basin of this incense burner, elevated on a lobed foot, contains an artichokelike lotus that opens into two tiers of small, pointed petals and supports a delicately carved waterfowl. Fragrant smoke would have wafted gently from the bird’s mouth and from two holes perforated between its feet. As Song poets and painters praised incense for its efficacy in dissipating gloom and stimulating artistic creativity, connoisseurs treasured its accoutrements as luxurious domestic furnishings. Pieces displaying the extraordinary quality of this incense burner are attributed to the kilns at Jingdezhen in southeastern Jiangxi province, which later became China’s preeminent center for ceramic production.

Formed back in 1997 with an idea to mix progressive rock, doom metal and 70’s-inspired psychedelic rock. SUBTERRANEAN MASQUERADE creates music with that edge of extreme metal and the loose atmosphere of Pink Floyd and Iron butterfly. While admittedly not such a pioneering idea on its own, the vision of freeing metal music from genre boundaries, wrapped by grand production is what often make the band’s music sound like a carnival of different colors and scents… a masquerade!
SUBTERRANEAN MASQUERADE’s music first came into the world back in 2000 with a cover version of Peter Murphy’s classic “Cut’s you up”. The cover, released as part of an 80’s metal cover compilation album, was recorded with guest appearances by Tomas Lindberg of At the Gates, Kobi Farhi of Orphaned Land and produced by Dori Bar Or from Eternal Gray.

I went to Yarner Wood knowing that the Pied Flycatchers were there. I also knew of the Wood Warblers but had no expectation of seeing them because they seem to spend all their time singing in the tree canopy. This one hopped on to a sapling in front of me then disappeared before I could even pick it up on camera. I waited and sure enough the song started; ti ti ti ti ti tik tik trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Then it moves. Another burst of song. Another move, Another burst........ Finally I saw the movement and about three song bursts later and having to use manual focus I got these. Not the highest quality but really satisfying. Photographing Swifts the day before was easier than this!
This version developed using Aperture. Previous upload used ACR and PSE, but it was much easier to achieve the desired effect (with a better result) using Aperture and Tiffen Dfx.
