La fermentation initiale
Les feuilles séchées sont empilées en plusieurs tas formant ce que l’on appelle les gavillas. Elles sont ensuite transportées dans le centre de sélection (l’escogida) où elles sont recouvertes de tissus. Un processus naturel de fermentation débute alors, déclenché par le peu d’humidité qui est resté piégé dans les feuilles. En fait, le déroulement de la fermentation est exactement identique à celle qui se produit lors de la fabrication d’un compost par un particulier dans son jardin.
L’évaporation et la compression sont à l’origine de la production de chaleur et donc d’une hausse de température et donc d’une dégradation des micro-organismes contenus dans les feuilles. Un contrôle régulier est impératif pour s’assurer que le niveau de fermentation attendu n’est pas dépassé. À noter que les feuilles qui se trouvaient au sommet des plantes de tabac doivent fermenter plus longtemps que les autres, car elles sont plus épaisses et plus huileuses.
La fermentation des feuilles est fondamentale si l’on souhaite obtenir des cigares de grande qualité. Cette étape entraîne l’élimination de toutes les impuretés, atténue l’acidité, baisse le taux de nicotine et réduit la quantité de goudron. Par la même occasion, l’arôme des feuilles de tripe est adouci tandis que les feuilles de capes héritent d’une couleur harmonieuse.
Le triage et la sélection
Les feuilles sont d’abord triées en fonction de leur destination : feuilles de cape, de sous-cape et de tripe. Puis, au sein de chaque catégorie, on opère une sélection en fonction de la taille, de la couleur et de la texture des feuilles. La plus grande attention est apportée à la sélection des feuilles destinées à la cape. Ces dernières sont humidifiées puis aérées pour qu’elles ne soient pas endommagées durant leur manipulation. La sélection consiste à classer chaque feuille dans l’un des 50 lots disponibles, un lot correspondant à un niveau de qualité bien défini. Les feuilles ne présentant aucune des caractéristiques de l’un des lots sont mises à l’écart et seront affectées à d’autres usages. Les feuilles destinées à la cape étant fines, elles ne peuvent être fermentées qu’une seule fois. Après la sélection, les feuilles retenues sont emballées puis envoyées à l’entrepôt où elles vont vieillir.
Les feuilles provenant des plantations en plein air sont classées en trois tailles, car elles contribueront à l’élaboration de la sous-cape et des trois parties (ou tiempos) de la tripe (ligero, seco et volado également appelés fortaleza 1, fortaleza 2 et fortaleza 3). Les feuilles cueillies au niveau des pieds des plantes de tabac servent à obtenir le volado à l’arôme léger. Il faut savoir que les meilleures feuilles de volado sont retenues pour la constitution de la sous-cape. Les feuilles prélevées dans la partie médiane vont constituer le seco dont les arômes se déploient avec une intensité modérée. Enfin, les feuilles du sommet composent le ligero qui laisse échapper un riche bouquet d’arômes copieux. Toutes ces feuilles vont ensuite subir l’écôtage.
Déroulement de l’écôtage
Le centre d’écôtage s’appelle « despalillo ». Seules les feuilles de la sous-cape et de la tripe passent par cette étape. On commence par humidifier les feuilles ce qui les rend malléables et, par la même occasion, cela va les préparer pour la seconde fermentation. L’écôtage est mis en œuvre par les despalilladoras dont la principale tâche est de saisir chaque feuille pour ôter en son milieu la partie finale de la tige. Elle mène également une deuxième et ultime sélection afin de s’assurer que seules les meilleures feuilles sont retenues pour la confection de la tripe. Enfin, les feuilles sont aplaties puis empilées en plusieurs petits tas. Chaque pile est compressée entre deux planches afin que les feuilles restent bien plates.
Dernière fermentation
Cette seconde fermentation concerne uniquement les feuilles pour la tripe et la sous-cape. Les piles de feuilles sont beaucoup plus grandes que lors de la première fermentation. Le processus prend également plus de temps et se déroule à des températures plus élevées. Comme durant la fermentation initiale, les épaisses feuilles gorgées d’arômes restent plus longtemps en fermentation tandis que les feuilles les plus fines, et qui sont les moins parfumées, sont fermentées sur une durée plus courte. La température est rigoureusement surveillée. Lorqu’elle devient trop élevée, il faut défaire les piles afin de refroidir les feuilles. Au moment de reconstituer les piles, il convient d’inverser l’emplacement des feuilles : celles qui étaient au-dessus sont renvoyées en dessous et inversement.
Le processus de vieillissement en détail
Une fois l’ultime fermentation achevée, on passe au vieillissement des feuilles de la sous-cape et de la tripe. Mais avant, elles sont disposées une à une sur des étagères durant quelques jours pour être aérées et surtout, séchées. Elles sont ensuite emballées puis envoyées à l’entrepôt de stockage où les y attendent depuis un moment les feuilles de cape. Les feuilles les plus aromatisées sont vieillies les plus longtemps tandis que le vieillissement est plus court pour les feuilles les moins riches en arômes. D’une manière générale, une très longue maturation améliore considérablement les qualités des feuilles.
Les feuilles de la tripe et de la sous-cape sont entreposées à l’intérieur de sacs en toile de jute appelés pacas. Quant aux feuilles de la cape, elles sont disposées dans des tercios, des emballages épais fabriqués avec l’écorce du palmier royal. Chaque lot de feuilles porte une étiquette sur laquelle sont mentionnées la taille, l’année de leur récolte et la date du début du processus de vieillissement. Les tercios sont en plus estampillés du code du centre de trie (escogida) où a eu lieu la sélection des feuilles de cape qu’ils renferment. Quant aux pacas, l’étiquette informe également sur le tiempo auquel sont destinées les feuilles (seco, lingero ou volado) ainsi que les noms du centre de tri et du centre d’écôtage.
The initial fermentation
The dried leaves are stacked in several piles forming what are called the gavillas. They are then transported to the selection center (escogida) where they are covered with tissue. A natural process of fermentation then begins, triggered by the little moisture that has remained trapped in the leaves. In fact, the course of the fermentation is exactly the same as that which occurs during the manufacture of a compost by an individual in his garden.
Evaporation and compression are at the origin of the production of heat and therefore of a rise in temperature and therefore of a degradation of the microorganisms contained in the leaves. Regular control is imperative to ensure that the expected level of fermentation is not exceeded. Note that leaves at the top of tobacco plants must ferment longer than others because they are thicker and more oily.
The fermentation of the leaves is fundamental if one wishes to obtain cigars of high quality. This step eliminates all impurities, reduces acidity, lowers nicotine levels and reduces the amount of tar. At the same time, the aroma of the tripe leaves is softened while the leaves of capes inherit a harmonious color.
Sorting and selection
The leaves are first sorted according to their destination: leaves of cape, sub-cape and tripe. Then, within each category, a selection is made according to the size, color and texture of the leaves. The greatest attention is given to the selection of leaves for the cape. The latter are moistened and then aerated so that they are not damaged during handling. The selection consists in classifying each sheet in one of the 50 lots available, a lot corresponding to a defined level of quality. Leaves with none of the characteristics of one of the lots are discarded and will be used for other purposes. The leaves for the cape being thin, they can be fermented only once. After selection, the sheets are packaged and sent to the warehouse where they will age.
The leaves from the open-air plantations are classified into three sizes, as they will contribute to the development of the sub-cape and the three parts (or tiempos) of the tripe (ligero, seco and volado also called fortaleza 1, fortaleza 2 and fortaleza 3). Leaves picked at the feet of tobacco plants are used to obtain volado with a light aroma. It should be known that the best leaves of volado are retained for the constitution of the sub-cape. The leaves taken in the middle part will constitute the seco whose aromas unfold with a moderate intensity. Finally, the leaves of the summit make up the ligero which gives off a rich bouquet of hearty aromas. All these leaves will then undergo the écôtage.
Conduct of the meeting
The center of management is called "despalillo". Only the leaves of the sub-cape and tripe pass through this step. We start by moistening the leaves which makes them malleable and, at the same time, it will prepare them for the second fermentation. The ecotage is implemented by the despalilladoras whose main task is to seize each sheet to remove in the middle the final part of the stem. She also conducts a second and final selection to ensure that only the best leaves are retained for making the tripe. Finally, the leaves are flattened and stacked in several small piles. Each pile is compressed between two boards so that the leaves stay flat.
Last fermentation
This second fermentation concerns only the leaves for the tripe and the sub-cape. The stacks of leaves are much larger than during the first fermentation. The process also takes longer and takes place at higher temperatures. As during the initial fermentation, the thick leaves full of flavors stay longer in fermentation while the finest leaves, which are the least fragrant, are fermented for a shorter time. The temperature is strictly monitored. When it becomes too high, the batteries must be unpacked to cool the leaves. When reconstituting the batteries, it is advisable to invert the location of the leaves: those which were above are returned below and vice versa.
The aging process in detail
Once the final fermentation is completed, the aging of the leaves of the sub-cape and the tripe is carried out. But before, they are arranged one by one on shelves for a few days to be airy and above all, dried. They are then packaged and sent to the warehouse where they have been waiting for the cloak sheets for a while. The most flavored leaves are aged the longest while the aging is shorter for the leaves less rich in aromas. In general, a very long maturation considerably improves the qualities of the leaves.
The leaves of the tripe and the sub-cape are stored inside jute bags called pacas. As for the leaves of the cape, they are arranged in tercios, thick packs made with the bark of the royal palm. Each lot of leaves is labeled with the size, the year of harvest and the date of the beginning of the aging process. The tercios are in addition stamped with the code of the center of sort (escogida) where took place the selection of the leaves of cape that they contain. As for the pacas, the label also informs about the tiempo for which the leaves are intended (seco, lingero or volado) as well as the names of the sorting center and the center of ecotage.

We fabricated a platen and frame using the laser cutter, then used a toaster oven and a shop-vac to complete the process. Participants were able to vacuum-form a range of shapes out of plastic plates to use as candy molds or decorative artwork! Special thanks to the volunteers who helped make this project a success.
Las montañas Cairngorms forman el Parque Nacional más grande de Gran Bretaña y la zona más extensa de paisaje ártico montañoso en las islas británicas. Este fascinante lugar es también considerado como el último gran espacio salvaje de Europa. El corazón del Parque Nacional está formado por una impresionante cadena montañosa que contiene 4 de las 5 montañas más altas de Escocia. También alberga el 25% de los pájaros, animales y plantas en peligro de extinción del Reino Unido. Incluye áreas montañosas de un gran valor ecológico y antiguos bosques, rÃos, lagos, valles y páramos que constituyen frágiles ecosistemas de una gran biodiversidad.
La espectacular meseta central está dividida por diferentes valles donde se encuentran los últimos reductos de los bosques primigenios de pino rojo que cubrÃan todas las Highlands en la antigüedad. Estos bosques son el hogar de innumerables especies animales como la ardilla roja, el urogallo, la marta, el gato montés, el corzo o el tejón, entre otras. También habitan en las proximidades grandes manadas de ciervos rojos o venados, un rebaño de renos y el grupo más numeroso de águilas reales del Reino Unido.
No podemos olvidarnos de la rica herencia cultural que tiene el P.N. Cairngorms y que contribuye a hacer de este espacio un lugar único, mágico y encantador.

Line: I found the lines had many different forms in the photo I took. I found curved lines within the shapes of the flowers and in the dimension of the wings. I can see straight lines in the leafs and in the flower's centers. The curved lines add some form of dimension and make the shapes seem more shadowy in some places giving the photo a more 3D affect.
Colour: I really like how the colours all complement each other in this photo. They aren’t overwhelmingly blinding but are still bright enough to get your attention and make you examine the photo closer. And I found a nice balance between the warm and cool colours. If it wasn’t for the bright orangey red flowers the photo would actually have come out a lot darker and it wouldn’t draw as much attention to the butterfly. The flowers also do a great job in bringing out more specifically the tiny bright yellow spots on the wings.
Shape: The ridged shape of the butterfly’s wings separates it from the rest of the picture and makes it stand out and not just mesh in with the flowers in the picture. I think that the direction in which the spot shapes are laid out have something to do with the shape of the whole butterfly. I think if the spots were placed more inwards then the butterfly would seem less slender and more of a rounder shape.
Form: The darker colours and the line going down the center of the butterfly’s back makes it look more round and you can actually see the tiny hairs covering it’s body. And the natural lighting from about provides a warmish glow and adds an edge for the flowers giving them a further more 3D appearance.
Space: I think there is a good amount of positive and negative space in this photo. The negative space emphasizes the butterfly and its horizontal wing spanned, and the positive space gets emphasized by the showing of the negative, making the flowers more noticeable.
Texture: I really like the textures in this photo, the smoothness of the flower pedals, the powdery feel of the butterfly’s wings, and the softness of the butterfly’s tiny body. There are lots of other textures as well, there is the leathery feel of the leafs in the background, a rigid look from the steams of the plants and a plastic feel and appearance from the bits coming out of the flower tops.
Tone/Value: The above lighting brings the butterfly out more from the flowers giving it more depth.
Emphasis: Colours of the bright flowers emphasizes and brings out the colour in the butterfly’s wings. The shape of the butterfly itself pulls my gaze in a horizontal manner which lets me see the plants in the photo as well as the butterfly. The lighting more emphasizes the flowers but the flowers emphasize the butterfly so it all works I guess.
Movement: I captured the butterfly from its otherwise fluttering about motion to a frozen state of appearance. I think everything else in the photo looks like it is in motion and the butterfly is the only thing standing still, I kind of like that about the picture.
Balance: There is plenty of balance within this photo there is balance between the warm and the cool colours, there is balance between the positive and negative space, the is balance between the vertical and horizontal lines and the is balance between the lightness and shadowy areas in this picture.
Repetition/Pattern: The horizontal span of the wing as I said before leads and guides the eyes gaze in a horizontal view allowing the viewer to not only see the butterfly but also the plant life it sits on.
Contrast: The difference between the large flowers and leafs makes the butterfly seem small in comparison but in reality in is a large butterfly and is sitting in a large batch of flowers.
Unity: The whole picture works in unity, nothing is in the background that shouldn’t be, there is nice balance and the cool and warm colours mix nicely with one another.

This was a nationwide protest which was sponsored by Join the Impact and held on Saturday, November 15th, 2008. The nationwide protest was formed to combat propositions 2 (Florida), 8 (California), 102 (Arizona) and the anti-gay adoption bill in Arkansas.
This particular protest was held at Phoenix City Hall for most of the morning and then we all marched to the Arizona State Capital.
Gay marriage is a civil rights issue, not a religion issue. Proposition 8 took away an existing rights from the GLBT community in California. It is totally wrong and unconstitutional to take away existing rights from a group of people.
Proposition 102 was put on the ballot in Arizona by the unethical actions of the republicans in the state senate. It is totally disgusting on what the republicans did. They forever tarnished the image of the Arizona State Senate.
Here is Join the Impact website: jointheimpact.wetpaint.com/
Here is a YouTube video showing what had happened in the AZ Senate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YATXI0sOGKk
You can clearly hear couple of the senators saying "Point to Order, Point to Order" in the video. You can see that some of the senators break their own rules in order to put 102 on the ballot. That right there is very unethical.
How many humans life on the planet? And how many leaves does we have? In spring, summer or autumn, a forest's ground is always covered with leaves - leaves from the past few years, until finally they become soil again. Have you ever counted the number of leaves within a square meter on such a floor, or even in a quadrangle of 10cm x 10cm? And if so, how many would you have in a forest from one mountain?
Leaves are not only diverse with respect to their forms, but colors too: from yellow green, dark green to orange, red and brown. Assume further, that every leaf contains a couple of colors, and you end up with a vast variety of colors and forms.
The melanistic form predominates on nearby Vancouver Island. Both forms occur here. Whatcom Falls Park, Bellingham, WA.

Spectators enjoy late summer sunshine at Highfield, home to Fulwood & Broughton Cricket Club. Note the mural. Captured during the closing stages of a Tommy Wilson Trophy T20 final clash with Northern Premier League rivals Netherfield.
The Kendal-based visitors pipped Fulwood & Broughton in a low-scoring thriller that went to the last ball. Needing one to tie and two to win, with one wicket remaining, the hosts completed a single but suffered a runout going for the second. Having lost fewer wickets, Netherfield were able to celebrate. Some felt ‘super overs’ should have been used to determine the winner.
A difficult wicket and a damp outfield ensured both teams had trouble putting runs on the board - despite Highfield being a relatively small ground. With bowlers in command, each team managed only one six. Fours were in short supply, too. Netherfield were 50-3 after 10 overs then 66-4 after 15.
At tea, few would have put money on a Netherfield win. However, Fulwood & Broughton lost two wickets, before scoring a run, in the first over. Game on! The hosts were 49-3 after 10 overs then 67-5 after 15. Twenty-five was needed from the last 18 balls then 13 off the final over. A valiant effort, late in the game, gave Fulwood & Broughton a sniff of the cup but they fell agonisingly short.

Começando pela forma que foi utilizada como base para os elementos: o cÃrculo. Na simbologia das formas, representa a união e perfeição, daquilo que começa e acaba em si mesmo. Assim, ele condiz com a proposta do próprio Conselho, somando e interligando valores, laços e vÃnculos entre os profissionais representados por essa instituição. Também representa o movimento, a atividade, reproduzindo a busca por melhores dinâmicas entre as relações dos Biólogos. O azul, usado de forma mais clara no cÃrculo, é uma cor profunda e calma, que a princÃpio, representa a água, mas que também passa a idéia de maturidade. O azul também é a cor da Biologia.
A estrutura do DNA traz à tona um elemento sempre presente no cotidiano do profissional da área de Biologia. A base de sua estrutura forma um espermatozóide, que fecundando o óvulo (cÃrculo azul) dá origem a uma nova vida, com toda sua complexidade – a essência da profissão do Biólogo.
Fator de grande importância para qualquer ser vivo, sendo a base dos estudos biológicos, a natureza é representada pelas folhas da base do cÃrculo. Sua cor, não poderia ser outra, senão o verde, pois é a cor universal para a representação da natureza, passando a idéia de frescor, harmonia e equilÃbrio.
A espiral, que se encontra dentro das folhas, é o sÃmbolo da evolução e do progresso. O Biólogo sempre deve buscar novos estudos e pesquisas que possam atualizar seus conhecimentos e acrescentar informações úteis a sua profissão. Esse elemento também possui uma interpretação mais subjetiva, podendo ser traduzido de diferentes formas, como por exemplo, a representação de um caracol ou da asa de uma borboleta, mostrando a interação do Biólogo com a biodiversidade e o Planeta, na busca de sua conservação, manejo e sustentabilidade.
O sÃmbolo traduz conceitos que envolvem o cotidiano dos Biólogos e também a importância da vida para esses profissionais. Ao agregar valores de união e evolução à marca CFBio, busca-se demonstrar a forma dinâmica e pró-ativa de relacionamento do Sistema CFBio / CRBios com o Biólogo e a sociedade.
