The Sun Bear stands approximately 1.2 m (4 ft) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear (Ursidae) family. Males tend to be 10-45% larger than females; the former normally weigh between 50 and 100 kg (66-132 lb), the latter between 40 and 70 kg (44-88 lb). The Sun Bear possesses sickle-shaped claws that are relatively light in weight. It has large paws with naked soles, probably to assist in climbing. Its inward-turned feet make the bear's walk pigeon-toed, but it is an excellent climber. It has small, round ears and a stout snout. The tail is 1.2-2.8 inches (3-7 cm) long. Despite its small size, the Sun Bear possesses a very long, slender tongue, ranging from 8 to 10 inches (20-25 cm) in length. The bear uses it to extract honey from beehives.
Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest, where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. These distinctive markings give the Sun Bear its name.
Diet
The diet of the Sun Bear varies widely and includes small vertebrates, such as lizards, birds, and other mammals, in addition to fruits, eggs, termites, the young tips of palm trees, nests of bees, berries, sprouts, insects, roots, cocoa, and coconuts. Its powerful jaws can crack open nuts. Much of the Sun Bear's food must be detected using its keen sense of smell, as its sight is poor.
Lifestyle and Reproduction
The Sun Bear does not hibernate, and, as a result, it can reproduce year-round. The offspring reach sexual maturity after 3-4 years and may live up to 30 years in captivity. A female Sun Bear can produce 1 to 2 cubs per year. Sun Bears undergo a roughly 96 day gestation period after which the 300 to 400g cub is born blind and hairless. The cub is initially totally dependent on its mother and suckling can continue for about 18 months. After 1 to 3 months, the young cub can run, play and forage near its mother. Male Sun Bears grow larger than females. Females are observed to mate at about 3 years. During time of mating, the Sun Bear will show behavior like hugging, mock fighting and head bobbing with its mate.
Being a primarily nocturnal creature, the Sun Bear tends to rest during the day on lower limbs not far above the ground. Because it spends so much time in trees, the Sun Bear can sometimes cause damage to private property. It has been known to destroy coconut palms and cacao trees on plantations.

The Pythonidae, commonly known simply as pythons, are a family of non-venomous snakes found in Africa, Asia and Australia. Among its members are some of the largest snakes in the world.
Behavior
Most members of this family are ambush predators, in that they typically remain motionless in a camouflaged position and then strike suddenly at passing prey. They will generally not attack humans unless startled or provoked, although females protecting their eggs can be aggressive. Large adult specimens can kill people. Unsuspecting children can and have been preyed upon and swallowed whole after being suffocated. Reports of attacks on human beings were once more common in South and Southeast Asia, but are now quite rare.
Feeding
Prey is killed by a process known as constriction; after an animal has been grasped to restrain it, a number of coils are hastily wrapped around it. Then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent it from inhaling, the prey eventually succumbs due to asphyxiation. It has recently been suggested that the pressures produced during constriction cause cardiac arrest by interfering with blood flow[4], but this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed.
Larger specimens usually eat animals about the size of a house cat, but larger food items are not unknown: some large Asian species have been known to take down adult deer, and the African rock python, Python sebae, has been known to eat gazelle. Prey is swallowed whole, and may take anywhere from several days or even weeks to fully digest. Despite their intimidating size and muscular power, they are generally not dangerous to humans.
Contrary to popular belief, even the larger species, such as the reticulated python, P. reticulatus, do not crush their prey to death; in fact, prey is not even noticeably deformed before it is swallowed. The speed with which the coils are applied is impressive and the force they exert may be significant, but death is caused by suffocation, with the victim not being able to move its ribs in order to breathe while it is being constricted.
Reproduction
Females lay eggs (oviparous). This sets them apart from the family Boidae (boas), most of which bear live young (ovoviviparous). After they lay their eggs, females will typically incubate them until they hatch. This is achieved by causing the muscles to "shiver", which raises the temperature of the body to a certain degree, and thus that of the eggs. Keeping the eggs at a constant temperature is essential for healthy embryo development. During the incubation period, females will not eat and only leave to bask in order to raise their body temperature.

This video introduces us about Akram vignan and current living Gnani Purush Pujya Deepakbhai. It says that Pujya Deepakbhai is absolutely beyond fear, He has found himself, He is beyond all vision and opinions, He is not concerned about how the world judges Him or thinks about Him. The interviewer asks that when one being is liberated another one comes into incarnation. How often liberation happens? Pujya Deepakbhai says that in the scriptures it is mentioned that at a time, minimum one and maximum 108 Souls can go for salvation. It is difficult to get salvation but Param Pujya Dadabhagwan has found out a spiritual science that where is the starting point of charging new karma once stopped then automatically after discharge of past karma gets finished, the Soul gets ultimate liberation. Every human being requires a form in order to reach the formless, this is the summary of all the religions. When one looks very critically at various religious symbols there is no difference to reach the formless. Some people refuse to believe that God has form and when He comes in form, to remind that which is the highest amongst Men, such human beings are very very rare. He says that ultimate goal of human life is to achieve liberation which is possible after Self Realization that is knowing ‘Who am I’ and for realization an Enlightened person is needed. If you do not get the opportunity for Self Realization then use your mind, body and speech, intellect and ego to help others. If you give happiness, then you get happiness. If we want permanent happiness we must achieve self realization.

Then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent it from inhaling, the prey eventually succumbs due to asphyxiation. It has recently been suggested that the pressures produced during constriction cause cardiac arrest by interfering with blood flow[4], but this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed.
Larger specimens usually eat animals about the size of a house cat, but larger food items are not unknown: some large Asian species have been known to take down adult deer, and the African rock python, Python sebae, has been known to eat gazelle. Prey is swallowed whole, and may take anywhere from several days or even weeks to fully digest. Despite their intimidating size and muscular power, they are generally not dangerous to humans.
Contrary to popular belief, even the larger species, such as the reticulated python, P. reticulatus, do not crush their prey to death; in fact, prey is not even noticeably deformed before it is swallowed. The speed with which the coils are applied is impressive and the force they exert may be significant, but death is caused by suffocation, with the victim not being able to move its ribs in order to breathe while it is being constricted.
Reproduction
Females lay eggs (oviparous). This sets them apart from the family Boidae (boas), most of which bear live young (ovoviviparous). After they lay their eggs, females will typically incubate them until they hatch. This is achieved by causing the muscles to "shiver", which raises the temperature of the body to a certain degree, and thus that of the eggs. Keeping the eggs at a constant temperature is essential for healthy embryo development. During the incubation period, females will not eat and only leave to bask in order to raise their body temperature.

This painting has about 20 layers of polyurethane on it. i painted each layer seperately and then added objects as i poured each layer. each doll represents a different part of myself. the one in the back represents my sleeping time. my dreams, the inner workings of my sub conscience. the bronzed one is my past. it is comprized of "closures" because we try to hold onto or lock up the things that are in our past. the largest one is my public self, my art, the bright brilliant moments. then there is my everyday self that struggles with my weight and the pressures of life. lastly, my iinner child who is the one who is really in charge, with her tantrums and emotions. the last one is the one that is new, the future, it is made out of cardboard. what is the best thing you can give a child but a cardboard box, they can be anything they want to be. God is giving me a new future that can be anything i want. there is a new fork set that is shiny and smaller. if i can just change the way i see food, my future can be so much brighter!! the doilies represent God's grace over all the parts of my life.
Deerland Malaysia
Located in a natural rainforest just a stone throw away from Kuala gandah Eplephant Sanctuary and Krau Wildlife Reserve at Bukit Rengit Lanchang, Pahang, it is about 2 hours away from Kuala Lumpur.
The serene and prestine natural environment is filled with abundance of flora and fauna.
Learn about the jungle, get in touch with your spiritual innerself. Feed the animals, appreciate what nature have to to offer.
(Animals includes monkeys, deer, snakes, sun bear and many more!)
The Sun Bear stands approximately 1.2 m (4 ft) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear (Ursidae) family. Males tend to be 10-45% larger than females; the former normally weigh between 50 and 100 kg (66-132 lb), the latter between 40 and 70 kg (44-88 lb). The Sun Bear possesses sickle-shaped claws that are relatively light in weight. It has large paws with naked soles, probably to assist in climbing. Its inward-turned feet make the bear's walk pigeon-toed, but it is an excellent climber. It has small, round ears and a stout snout. The tail is 1.2-2.8 inches (3-7 cm) long. Despite its small size, the Sun Bear possesses a very long, slender tongue, ranging from 8 to 10 inches (20-25 cm) in length. The bear uses it to extract honey from beehives.
Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest, where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. These distinctive markings give the Sun Bear its name.
Diet
The diet of the Sun Bear varies widely and includes small vertebrates, such as lizards, birds, and other mammals, in addition to fruits, eggs, termites, the young tips of palm trees, nests of bees, berries, sprouts, insects, roots, cocoa, and coconuts. Its powerful jaws can crack open nuts. Much of the Sun Bear's food must be detected using its keen sense of smell, as its sight is poor.
Lifestyle and Reproduction
The Sun Bear does not hibernate, and, as a result, it can reproduce year-round. The offspring reach sexual maturity after 3-4 years and may live up to 30 years in captivity. A female Sun Bear can produce 1 to 2 cubs per year. Sun Bears undergo a roughly 96 day gestation period after which the 300 to 400g cub is born blind and hairless. The cub is initially totally dependent on its mother and suckling can continue for about 18 months. After 1 to 3 months, the young cub can run, play and forage near its mother. Male Sun Bears grow larger than females. Females are observed to mate at about 3 years. During time of mating, the Sun Bear will show behavior like hugging, mock fighting and head bobbing with its mate.
Being a primarily nocturnal creature, the Sun Bear tends to rest during the day on lower limbs not far above the ground. Because it spends so much time in trees, the Sun Bear can sometimes cause damage to private property. It has been known to destroy coconut palms and cacao trees on plantations.

The Pythonidae, commonly known simply as pythons, are a family of non-venomous snakes found in Africa, Asia and Australia. Among its members are some of the largest snakes in the world.
Behavior
Most members of this family are ambush predators, in that they typically remain motionless in a camouflaged position and then strike suddenly at passing prey. They will generally not attack humans unless startled or provoked, although females protecting their eggs can be aggressive. Large adult specimens can kill people. Unsuspecting children can and have been preyed upon and swallowed whole after being suffocated. Reports of attacks on human beings were once more common in South and Southeast Asia, but are now quite rare.

Velocity, the word of the week. It means, motion, movement, speed. When I first heard about the word velocity, I had thousands of ideas running through my mind. I thought it would be easy to take, since I already got my ideas, but I was wrong. Taking pictures that are in motions and speed is highly difficult, especially when you don’t know anything about the shutter speed and all that good stuff.
My photo that I had chosen to represent ‘Velocity’ was taken in my room. Again, just like the last photo I took, I moved my bed to the edge of the room to be able to give me a complete clear background for my picture. Except for this time, I moved my tables too. Before I started taking pictures, I painted myself. I put different colors of paint and put them on my face, my arms, my neck, and even my shirt. I knew what I was going to do for my picture, I was going to dance. So i decided to add colors on to myself to make the picture less boring. Even though I know it is kind of hard to tell that I had painted myself. This picture was chosen out of around 200 photos. I placed my camera on my closet that is just about 10cm taller than me, on top I added my jewelry box to make the camera higher since I don’t have a tripod. Then I set the camera to self timer, within 10 seconds it can take 8 pictures. I removed everything that was behind me, so I could have a clear background. I turned on my speaker, plugged in my phone and started to play music. Then, I made sure I looked fine and everything besides was alright. Then I started my journey on self timering, and ending up with 200 photos.
The process of taking this photo caused a lot of time, because I had to play around with the shutter speed. Every single time, I changed the setting to be lighter or darker, slower or faster, different results come out. I took this picture with a direct approach, the camera was straight and up except that I was moving around. It was so fun taking pictures alone, when no one is around you and you can do whatever you want. I was singing and dancing around and just be crazy. I really loved how this picture turned out to be, it seems like it’s my soul that jumped out from me because of the speed. I named this picture inner soul because I think this really represent myself, my soul dancing. my soul coming out of me. Coming to the bad part, I really hate how my background is. I tried so hard to avoid noisy background but my room was too small for that, as you can see there is the white part and the curtain in the way. Just if my room was bigger. It was so hard for me to choose the final picture out of literally 200 photos! However, I finally made my choice and I hope you like it too! (:
Flauberto Artist / Berlin Germany
10 September 2008
Flauberto ist in der kleinen Stadt Juazeirinhio, Paraiba geboren. Er lebt seit fünf
Jahren in Berlin und nahm bereits an bedeutenden Gemeinschaftsaustellungen
u.a. in Brasilien, USA, Deutschland und de Schweiz teil.
„Flauberto findet seine Inspiration in der überfüllten Welt unserer Alltäglichen
und aus Wortfetzen bestehenden, von Hektik geprägten Umwelt. In den
Straßen der Großstadt, den Korridoren von U-Bahnhöfen oder den tausendfach
überklebten Outdoors an den Häuserwänden finden sich die grafischen
Elemente seiner Bilder wieder. Die Leinwand scheint den gestalterischen
Gestus von Flauberto nur vorübergehend festzuhalten, denn die Intention des
Striches und der Farbkombinantionen weisen weit aus dem verschlossenen,
geordneten Innenleben eines Raumes in die Unbegrenztheit einer ungewissen
Außenwelt unter freiem Himmel.“
Flauberto“ ist einer der herausragenden Künstler der brasilianischen Kunstszene in Deutschland. Seine Werke, das sind Gemälde, Fotos und Zeichnungen zeigen einen einzigartigen Stil und befinden sich in ständigen Sammlungen der brasilianischen Botschaft, dem „Museu de Arte Contemporânea Assis Chateaubriand“ und Privatsammlungen in Russland, Schweiz, Deutschland und den USA. Außerdem wird er von den brasilianischen Medien zu den wichtigsten fünf aktuellen bildenden Künstlern des Bundesstaates Paraíba in Brasilien gezählt.
Der Künstler präsentierte seine Werke unter anderem im Jahr 2003 auf der Bienale von Novosibirsk in Russland und in einer Ausstellung in der Akademie der Künste in Berlin, erhielt im Jahr 2002 den Preis des Museums in Berlin-Dahlem als „ausgezeichneter Künstler der brasilianischen Kunstszene Deutschland“.
2002 realisierter er ebenfalls eine Retrospektive in den ehemaligen Räumen des brasilianischen Kulturinstituts (ICBRA) aber auch weitere Ausstellungen in Deutschland und im Ausland, wie die Teilnahme als Repräsentant Brasiliens am Projekt „United-Buddy-Bears“ in Berlin, Tokio, Sidney, Istambul, Shangai und Peking. 1998 wurde er in einer Galerie in Zürich und auch in Basel gehandelt. 1995 wurden seine Werke in einem Workshop in Minneapolis (USA) vorgestellt und besprochen.
Eine sich aufweitende Kunst -
Oder vielleicht eine Unordnung, die aus dem dunkeln der Rohmaterie seiner Kunst entnommen ist
Die ersten Aufzeichnungen des künstlerischen Schaffens von Flauberto stammen aus seiner Kindheit in Juazeirinho, einer kleinen und armen Stadt, die durch die Bundesstrasse BR-230 in der Mitte durchschnitten wird, eingewachsen in der gühenden Hitze in der desolaten Region von Cariri im Bundesstaat Paraiba. Seine Unruhe verschonte nicht die Wände der Häuser, die Mauern des Klassenzimmers, die grossen Türen der Lagerhäuser, die Banken und die Wände der Schule.
Es ist dieses weit zurückliegende Gedächtnis, welches sich in der emotionalen Fracht seiner aktuellen Arbeit verfasst, wenn die Welt und das Leben in Reichtweite ist, auf diesem Weg der seine Geschichte in der Mitte zerschneidet.
Das Ziel seiner Kunst ist mehr als die Bewusstheit, es ist die Besessenheit an Grenzüberschreitungen. Seine Arbeiten schreien nach Dringlichkeiten, sie beben wie die eigene Zeit und verlangen nach der Kolektivität.
“Ich habe ab 1994 angefangen intensiv Kunst zu machen, so dass Leben und Kunst in einem gemeinsamen Weg meinen künstlerischen Prozess begleitet haben. Bei der künstlerischen Tätigkeit habe ich sehr früh eine besessene, systematische und impulsive Form entwickelt . In den letzten 19 Jahren meines Schaffens habe ich mich besonders mit Zeichnungen und Malerei beschäftigt, habe aber auch Projekte mit Skulptur und Instalationen entwickelt. Die Themen meines Lebens waren immer die meines Lebens, wie Sex, Macht, Geld, und Religion, die immer verwirrende und festigende Elemente meiner Existenz waren.
Ich wusste nie zu erklären wie sich diese Dinge von einer Form in die andere (im Leben und in der Kunst) wandelten, jedoch bin ich ein autodidaktischer Künstler mit Intension und Selbstbildung. Sehr früh habe ich eine Art von Aversion zum Model der schulischen Bildung entwickelt , als ich das Studium an der Universität verlassen habe.
Seit Juazeirinho, die Stadt in der ich geboren bin und gelebt habe, fühle ich mich wie ein impulsives, obzesives und ängstliches Individuum, welches sich aus der Dunkelheit mit seinem eigenen Licht entzieht.
Ich will Fragen beantworten: Wer bin ich? zu wem gehöre ich? oder warum meine Kunst in meiner Kondition und meinem kreativen Prozess nachhallen wird ?
Ich und meine Kunst gehören zusammen, von den vorhandenen Händen mit der verzweifelten Lust am Fleisch.
Ich schaffe es nicht aufzuhören meinen Umkreis zu observieren, sei es in João Pessoa, Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, Basel, in der Schweiz, oder in Berlin.Städte die die Tragig meines Lebens darstellen.
Ab 2002 begann ich einen Prozess zu entwickeln der Fotografie mit Techniken wie Kollage, Foto-Kollage und digitale Manipulation, als Mittel oder Unterstützung aufweist. Ich habe in der Fotogafie ein Mittel gefunden, der persönlichen und pofessionellen Verwirklichung so klar und Transparent wie anderen Unterstützungen die ich schon genutzt habe, und die ich noch nutze. Ich setze in meine Fotografien die Unnachgiebigkeit und die Obzession der Grenzen von meiner Lust. Alles was ich mache ist ein Teil einer extrem persönlichen Entschlossenheit. Als ich mich entschloss die Fotografie in meinen Prozess der Produktion und Kreation einzubinden, machte ich dies, um an eine Objektivität und Tranzperenz des Mittels zu glauben um meine Ideen zu transportieren. Das erste Projekt von Fotos, dass ich 2002 begonnen hatte, versammelt 500 Fotografien die meine privaten Wünsche des Lebens und meine Augen vor der Welt ausdrücken. Um das Projekt zu realisieren, griff ich zum Universum der Informationen, wie Zeitungen, Jornale, Bücher, Fotos und Bilder die von anderen Künstlern gemacht wurden, also letztendlich alles was ich mit meinem lüsternden Blick erreichen konnte. Auf dem Weg der Hin- und Rückfahrt nach Hause werde ich Stücke des Lebens gesammelt haben, die meine Wünschen berühren. »
Die Perversion der Farben.
Es gab keinen anderen Weg für Flauberto wenn nicht die Kunst. Die Natur hat ihm eine Art der Perversation der Farben bereitgestellt. Als Kind seine Ziele am Abend in Juazeirinho, Paraibanischen Cariri, waren unfreiwilligerweise einfallen durch eine Leuchtende Kraft des “in den Augenen stechenden Grüns”.
Als Regen fiel füllte sich die Vegetation mit Blättern, und der Blick Flaubertos verlohr sich im kräftigen Grün des Juazeiro-Baumes, des Umbu-Baumes und des Catinga-Baumes.
Der Blick Flaubertos ist so - unterschiedlich, verzerrt und trügerisch. Aber in einer semantischen Frage, waren die Farben für Ihn immer eine Herausforderung, denn er muss nicht nur seine Namen lernen, denn auch mit einer Art bösen Magie leben, die mit einigen Farben, prinzipiell mit Grün, erscheint, die in Zusammenhang mit dem Kontext in welchem die gleichen eingefügt waren hervorstechen.
Aktuell hat Flauberto eine Sicht dieser Situation: die Fraben sehen wie kodiert aus, dominiert um zu malen.
Er entwickelte eine quasi machanisiert Technik, wo es für jede Farbe einen vorbestimmten Platz gibt. Jede Farbe hält eine bestimmte Distanz zur anderen und jede Farbe ist vorbereitet und nur einmal anwendbar, niemals aber in vielen Töpfen zur gleichen Zeit.
Ich lernte die Malerei von Flauberto kennen bevor ich Ihn persönlich kennengelernt habe, als ich an etwas anderes denkend eine Bank betrat, an jenem Platz der für Ausstellungen vorgesehen war, die mir immer ein Lächeln in meinen
Mundwinkeln hervorrief. An diesem Tag hielt ich verblüfft vor einer ausgestellten Zusammenstellung an.
Vom Nahen stellte ich die Unvollkommenheit in der Vorbeitung der Farben und der Leinwände des Künstlers fest und blieb verwirrt im Akzeptieren der primitiven Kunst oder einer bewussten oder gelehrten Manifestation von einem jungen Künstler.
Ich ging heraus mit Assoziationen von Grafiken von Keith Hering, und mit den unbearbeiteten Figuren von A.R. Penk, und mit den infantilen Malereien von Donald Baechler, ohne zu wissen was sozusagen der noch unbekannte Anfänger Flauberto mit der Produktion dieser Künstler gemeinsam hatte.
Die vigorosen Grafiken Flaubertos sind Übungen der Dichotomie, schwingen wie ein taumelnder und aus den Fugen tretender Tanz zwischen einer kartesische Organisation und einem unkontrolliertem und rudimentären Kaos.
Es sind Variiationen zwischen ausschweifenden Pinselstrichen des Malers bis hin zu den feinen Linien und Strichen die sich in den etwas grosseren Kompositionen verlieren. Seine Farben gehen von der Künstlichkeit von einem fluesziereneden Orange die Übelkeit hervorrufen, bis zu friedlichen Pasteltönen.
Persönlichkeit und Malerei wechseln sich zwischen lebhaft und trüb, grob und fein, populär und gelehrt, klever und naiv, bewusst und verwirt ab. Die letzten Malereien von Flauberto zeigen schon eine Annäherung mit einigen Konzepten, die im Wiebelwind von Aufnahmen der zeitgenossischen Kunst gelernt wurden in der der Künstler sich in den letzten Jahren befand.
Es scheint aber, dass er alles mit viel Personalität behandelt. Akademische Konzepte wie Gleichgewicht und Einigkeit die bei den meisten Künstlern aus unser Generation noch zu finden sind werden meistens missachtet. Die Organisation von Flaubertos Arbeitsmaterial wirkt in den Augen zu aller erst trostlos. Schwere Figuren werden auf leichte gelegt, senkrechte Bäume schweben aus den Seiten und harte Figuren drängeln sich in außergewöhnlicher und störender Masse durch.
Seine Malerei ändert sich als ob er sie aufgrund der brasilianischen Musik und Rock geschaffen hat. Ich selber kenne keinen anderen Maler der für sich selbst eine Art von chronologischen Aktionen, die von der technischen Verbesserung bis hin zu Marketing-Aktionen gehen und sich in Stars der brasilianische Musik hineinversetzt. Er hat sich selbst vorgenommen Sachen zu schaffen, die sich jüngere Maler gar nicht trauen.
Wenn ich mit Ihnen über einige seiner Malereien spreche, scheint es als ob er immer schon einen fertige Antwort zu meinen Fragen hat. Ich muss zugeben, dass ich einige Zeit benötige um die Ergebnisse verarbeiten zu können und will meistens auch schon mal sagen z.B. dass ich nie solch ein Rot oder Lila benutzen würde. Seine Malereien überschreiten immer den Punkt bis zu dem ich kommen würde.
An diesem Punkt könnte ich Jean Dubuffet mit seinem Art Brut Konzept erwähnen, oder andererseits in diesen wirren Zeiten der Multikulturalität die Diskussionen der Kritiker der modernen Kunst durchgehen, um zu versuchen die Arbeit von Flauberto zu verstehen, aber ich verbleibe lieber auf dem Feld der Zweifel, offen für die unerwarteten Schläge der Malerei von Flauberto aus Cariri

The first records of Flauberto´s plastic espression starts already
in his childhood in Juazeirinho, a poor and small town two halves by the BR-230 motorway, stuck in the scalding and desolate region of Paraiba`s cariri.
His unrest behaviour did neither spare the walls of the houses and school, nor the huge doors of the stores, not to mention the schools´ chairs and rooms. It is this remote memory that builds the emotional face for his work today, being the world and life at his reach, it this road that cuts his history by the half.
More than consciousness, the object of his art is the obsession with limits. He vindicates his own condition. Flauberto´s works cry for urgency. They vibrante with his own time.
Flauberto is living his life and woking with art without a particular self knowledge. His restless thoughts are registered in any kind of material.
And with no strict definition, the artist believes that what he does comes from the answers to thes questions: Who am I? Where am I? Where am going to? In this way he captures spontaneous artistic expressions from his innerself transforming them into old and rudimentary paintings.
Later, he turns ideas to material, in various languages: painting, object, sculpture, site-specific, photografy, and new medias. And repeat the process all over again.
I am an autodidactic artist. My personal life and art flow parallel on to another. About my art have to say that I don´t belong to any art school, my painting is developed in a very personal base. I don´t need and I don´t have any attraction to academics of the art history. My paintings are very open and free. My inspiration comes from darkness. My ideas are materialized spontaneously, i am don´t plan my painting, that means i only need to have the art materials in my hands and than I start to paint what comes in my head at that moment. If I plan my work, I can not make it. I am a compulsive artist, obsessive. In reality I make an artwork, whenever I need to say something. Sometimes I think I take part of the time of the cavern man, spontaneous, primitive, as the ideas come as vocanoes and eartrquake inside myself that have to be expelled and than to be materialized in any kind of art suport. I don´t have a daily timetable in my art, my art does not care about art that way. I am not worried if my work grows or if am included in certain art systems. This kind of decision from critics who decide what is art does not make part of my personal universe. Art as I see, must be free. The artist ought to be free in any circunstance. For me it is important the quality of art, the material quality too. The art has a good message to the society, the message could be good or bad, but it is important that generations after mine could see and admire and also that part of my ideas in my art works.
For me the reciprocity and the distance between the public and private world are something questionable.
For me the real art and the truly function from art is somethings unknown; my real vision of art is ART IS ATTITUDE. I am not different from the mostly artist, I elaborate my art production alone, the art is something very individual and unilateral. So I have the relation artist and art production. I have no notion of the effect or impact on public after my art production is finished. At my vernissages, through 10 years as artist, I have heard a lot about what the people feel: some people do not understand, some think whatever they want, some understad in a frame of their knowledge. I enjoy and have fun watching the people: I like the public interaction, artist and art, it is like a party for me . I do not support the intellectual side of art.
The interaction makes public take part of the creation process of the artist and I like it very much; and it is natural. In reality anyone can be an artist, it dependes on if one develops its art abilities or not.
The idea of actuality is my everyday routine. I live the present and my paintings register exactly my life at present, but my artistc know-know and inspiration come from the darkness, I do not ask the present as artist. I know that I have to say and do something that comes from inside myself: So is my art present at the actuality of the world and all its diferences and problems: They come as positive signal to me, the actuality does not bother my creative process. I can not have a daly routine as artist. This would be a torture for me, but I don´t have nothing against. My mind works very fast and spontaneous and that happens in my art process too. My daily project begins with the ideas that come in my mind. This is my first priority, then begin timeless work of putting my ideas on the canvas on as an artists everyday.
The artist Flauberto live and work 7 years in Berlin.
Flauberto is one of the outstanding artists of the Brazilian art scene in Germany.

Ich ging heraus mit Assoziationen von Grafiken von Keith Hering, und mit den unbearbeiteten Figuren von A.R. Penk, und mit den infantilen Malereien von Donald Baechler, ohne zu wissen was sozusagen der noch unbekannte Anfänger Flauberto mit der Produktion dieser Künstler gemeinsam hatte.
Die vigorosen Grafiken Flaubertos sind Übungen der Dichotomie, schwingen wie ein taumelnder und aus den Fugen tretender Tanz zwischen einer kartesische Organisation und einem unkontrolliertem und rudimentären Kaos.
Es sind Variiationen zwischen ausschweifenden Pinselstrichen des Malers bis hin zu den feinen Linien und Strichen die sich in den etwas grosseren Kompositionen verlieren. Seine Farben gehen von der Künstlichkeit von einem fluesziereneden Orange die Übelkeit hervorrufen, bis zu friedlichen Pasteltönen.
Persönlichkeit und Malerei wechseln sich zwischen lebhaft und trüb, grob und fein, populär und gelehrt, klever und naiv, bewusst und verwirt ab. Die letzten Malereien von Flauberto zeigen schon eine Annäherung mit einigen Konzepten, die im Wiebelwind von Aufnahmen der zeitgenossischen Kunst gelernt wurden in der der Künstler sich in den letzten Jahren befand.
Es scheint aber, dass er alles mit viel Personalität behandelt. Akademische Konzepte wie Gleichgewicht und Einigkeit die bei den meisten Künstlern aus unser Generation noch zu finden sind werden meistens missachtet. Die Organisation von Flaubertos Arbeitsmaterial wirkt in den Augen zu aller erst trostlos. Schwere Figuren werden auf leichte gelegt, senkrechte Bäume schweben aus den Seiten und harte Figuren drängeln sich in außergewöhnlicher und störender Masse durch.
Seine Malerei ändert sich als ob er sie aufgrund der brasilianischen Musik und Rock geschaffen hat. Ich selber kenne keinen anderen Maler der für sich selbst eine Art von chronologischen Aktionen, die von der technischen Verbesserung bis hin zu Marketing-Aktionen gehen und sich in Stars der brasilianische Musik hineinversetzt. Er hat sich selbst vorgenommen Sachen zu schaffen, die sich jüngere Maler gar nicht trauen.
Wenn ich mit Ihnen über einige seiner Malereien spreche, scheint es als ob er immer schon einen fertige Antwort zu meinen Fragen hat. Ich muss zugeben, dass ich einige Zeit benötige um die Ergebnisse verarbeiten zu können und will meistens auch schon mal sagen z.B. dass ich nie solch ein Rot oder Lila benutzen würde. Seine Malereien überschreiten immer den Punkt bis zu dem ich kommen würde.
An diesem Punkt könnte ich Jean Dubuffet mit seinem Art Brut Konzept erwähnen, oder andererseits in diesen wirren Zeiten der Multikulturalität die Diskussionen der Kritiker der modernen Kunst durchgehen, um zu versuchen die Arbeit von Flauberto zu verstehen, aber ich verbleibe lieber auf dem Feld der Zweifel, offen für die unerwarteten Schläge der Malerei von Flauberto aus Cariri

Os primeiros registros da expressão artística de Flauberto surgem já na infância
em Juazeirinho, uma cidade pequena e pobre cortada ao meio pela Br-230,
encravada na escaldante e desolada região do Cariri paraibano.
A sua inquietude não poupava as paredes das casas, os muros do grupo escolar, as imensas portas dos armazéns de estivas, as carteiras e as paredes do colégio.
É essa memória remota que vai se constituir na carga emocional de seu trabalho atual, quando o mundo e a vida estão ao seu alcance, nessa estrada que corta a sua
história ao meio.
Mais do que consciência, o objeto de sua arte é a obsessão dos limites. Seus trabalhos gritam por urgência, trepidam como o seu próprio tempo, reinvidicando a condição coletiva.
“Comecei a produzir profissionalmente a partir de 1994, embora a vida e a arte tenham
caminhado juntas no desenvolvimento do meu processo artístico. Desde muito cedo
desenvolvi uma forma obsessiva, sistemática e compulsiva de se fazer arte. Nos últimos
dez anos a minha produção esteve baseada principalmente no desenho e na pintura,
mas também desenvolvi, projetos como escultura e instalação.
Os temas da minha vida sempre foram também os da minha arte. Sexo, poder,
dinheiro e religião sempre foram elementos pertubadores e condicionadores da minha
existência. Eu nunca soube explicar como estas coisas se transmutaram de uma condição à outra ( da vida para a arte) , pois sou um artista de intenção e formação autodidatas. Desde muito cedo desenvolvi um tipo de aversão ao modelo de aprendizado escolar, quando abandonei em definitivo os estudos da universidade.
Desde Juazeirinho, cidade onde nasci e vivi, sinto e percebo-me como um indivíduo
compulsivo, obsessivo, agonizante o qual retira do escuro a sua própria luz.
Eu procuro responder à perguntas como: Quem sou ? a quem pertenço? ou por que a minha arte reverbera na minha condição e no meu processo criativo?
Eu e minha arte estamos juntos, de mãos dadas com o desesperador prazer da carne.
Não consigo parar de observar o meu redor, seja em João Pessoa, Salvador,
Rio de Janeiro, Basel, na Suíça, ou em Berlim, cidades que compõem a minha tragetória de vida.
A partir de 2002 comecei a desenvolver um processo que tem a fotografia como meio
e suporte. através de técnicas como colagem, foto-montagem, e manipulação digital.
Encontrei na fotografia um meio de realização pessoal e profissional tão claro e transparentes quanto os outros suportes que já explorei, e que continuo explorando.
Coloco nas minhas fotografias a intransigência e a obsessão dos limites do meu prazer.
Tudo o que eu faço é parte de uma resolução extremamente pessoal.
Quando resolvi incluir a fotografia no meu processo de produção e criação, fiz por acreditar na objetividade e transparência do meio para veicular minha idéias.
Este projeto inicial de fotos que iniciei em 2002, reúne quinhentas fotografias que expressam os meus desejos privados pela vida e os meus olhos diante do mundo.
Para a realização deste projeto, lanço mão do universo da informação como revistas, jornais, livros, fotos ou imagens produzidas por outros artistas, em fim, tudo o que eu vou alcançando com o meu olhar carnal. Nos caminhos de ida e volta para casa vou juntando pedaços da vida que mexem com os meus desejos. ”
A peversão da cores.
Não havia outra saída para Flauberto a não ser a arte. A natureza
reservou para ele uma espécie de peversão das cores. Quando criança seus fins de tarde na cidade de Juazeirinho, Cariri paraibano, eram involutariamente invadidos por uma luminosidade “verde de doer nos olhos”.
Quando caiam a chuvas e a vegetação se enchia rapidamente de folhas, o olhar de Flauberto se perdia na “vermelhidão” dos juazeiros, umbuzeiros e catingueiras.
O olhar de Flauberto é assim; diferente,distorcido e enganoso. Mais que uma questão
de semânticas, as cores para ele sempre foram um desafio, era preciso aprender
não apenas seus nomes, mas também conviver com uma espécie de magia maldosa a qual fazia com que algumas cores, principalmente o verde, desaparecesse de acordo
com o contexto no qual estavam as mesmas inseridas.
Atualmente Flauberto tem um aparente domnio desta situação: as cores parecem estar
codificadas, dominadas para pintar. Ele desenvolveu uma técnica quase mecanizada
onde para cada tinta há um lugar pré-determinado. Mantendo cada uma, uma certa distancia da outra e cada cor é preparada e aplicada de uma só vez, nunca apartir de vários potes ao mesmo tempo.
Conheci a pintura de Flauberto antes mesmo de conhecê-lo ao entrar distraidamente
em uma agência bancária, cujo lugar destinado à exposicoes, sempre me causou
sorrisos no canto da boca. Naquele dia fui desviado com espanto para um conjunto
de grandes pinturas de cores fortes e composições rudimentares.
De perto percebi a imaturidade do artista no preparo das tintas e das telas e fiquei confuso em aceitar aceitar aquilo como arte primitiva ou uma manifestação consciênte e erudita de um jovem artista. Sai dali fazendo associações com o s grafismos de Keith Hering, e com as figuras toscas de A. R. Penk, e com as pinturas infantilizadas de Donald Baechler, sem saber que o então iniciante Flauberto desconhecia totalmente a producao destes artistas.
Os grafismos vigorosos de Flauberto são exercícios de dicotomia, oscilam como uma
dança desengonçada entre uma organização cartesiana, e um caos descontrolado e rudimentar. Variam entre grossas pinceladas de pintor de parede até finos e delicados
traços que se perdem nas composições mais pesadas.
Suas cores vão do artificialismo de um laranja fluorescente de causar náuseas, ao pacifico tons pastéis. Personalidade e pintura alternam-se entre o vibrante e o opaco,
o rude o delicado, o popular e o erudito, o esperto e o ingênuo, o consciênte e o alienado.
As últimas pinturas de Flauberto já revelam uma aproximação com alguns conceitos
apreendidos do turbilhão de imagens da arte contemporânea a qual o artista tem
se submetido nos últimos anos.
Mas ele parece tratar tudo isso com muita personalidade. Conceitos academicos como
equilibrio e unidade, ainda presente na maioria dos artistas da nossa geração,
são completamente ingnorados. A “organizacao” do espaço pictórico de Flauberto
chega a causar um desconforto no olhar. Figuras pesadas são colocadas em cima das
leves, àrvores horizontais pendem das laterais e figuras duras cortam tudo de forma
desconcertante e incômoda.
Sua pintura muda de ritmo como se pintasse ao som de música popular brasileira e rock pesado. Desconheço qualquer artista que tenha traçado para sí próprio uma espécie de cronograma de ação que vai desde o aprimoramento técnico até ações de marketing. Flauberto tem pressa na sua conquista e está sempre se espelhando em estrelas da música popular. Ele almeja galgar rapidamente os degraus que outros artistas jovens nem cogitam.
Quando o interpelo sobre algumas de suas pinturas, Flauberto parece já ter uma resposta para meus questionamentos. Confesso que demoro algum tempo para processar seus resultados, e fico sempre com vontade de dizer , por exemplo, que eu jamais usaria este vermelho ou aquele roxo. A pintura de Flauberto sempre passa do ponto onde eu pararia.
Eu poderia evocar aqui Jean Dubuffet, com seu conceito de Art Brut, ou por outro lado,
recorrer as discurssões dos criticos de arte contemporânea nesses tempos turvos de
multiculturalismo, para tentar compreender o trabalho de Flauberto, mais prefiro permanecer no campo das dúvidas, abertos para os golpes inesperados da pintura deste Flauberto do Cariri.

Um sentido aleatório norteia as minhas composições fazendo surtir efeitos inesperados, o que me seduz profundamente neste processo. Qualquer forma de expressão anônima ou autoral, pública ou privada me interessam. Durante o processo de manipulação das imagens surge a minha identificação com o resultado.

There are three parts in this body. Outer body, Inner action and Pure soul. Outer body is physical part that we see. Inner action, that is going on inside us and you are the knower – Pure Soul. In Inner action, there are four parts – mind, intellect, ego and Chit. Only after decision is taken in inner part, it automatically comes in outer action. Mind shows thoughts in form of pamplet which remains inside the body. Chit – means visualization, It goes outside the body and can see the place, things, people etc. Intellect, takes the decision based on which ego will sign like a President. After all this outer action takes place. Pure Soul is the knower of what happens.

The ferret is a domestic mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo. Ferrets are sexually dimorphic predators with males being substantially larger than females. They typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur, have an average length of approximately 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail,[1] weigh about 1.5–4 pounds (0.7–2 kg), and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.
Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae (weasels) also have the word ferret in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat, the Steppe Polecat, or some hybrid of the two.
The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals. It is very likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are being kept simply as pets.
Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of ferret polecat hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna, perhaps most notably in New Zealand. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.
Ferreting
For millennia, the main use of ferrets was for hunting, or ferreting. With their long, lean build and inquisitive nature, ferrets are very well equipped for getting down holes and chasing rodents and rabbits out of their burrows. Caesar Augustus sent ferrets or mongooses (named "viverrae" by Plinius) to the Balearic Islands to control the rabbit plagues in 6 BC.They are still used for hunting in some countries, including the United Kingdom, where rabbits are considered a plague species by farmers. However, the practice is illegal in several countries where it is feared that ferrets could unbalance the ecology.
In England, in 1390, a law was enacted restricting the use of ferrets for hunting:
... it is ordained that no manner of layman which hath not lands to the value of forty shillings a year [the equivalent of about £1,000 in today's money] shall from henceforth keep any greyhound or other dog to hunt, nor shall he use ferrets, nets, heys, harepipes nor cords, nor other engines for to take or destroy deer, hares, nor conies, nor other gentlemen's game, under pain of twelve months' imprisonment.
Ferrets were first introduced into the New World in the 17th century, and were used extensively from 1860 until the start of World War II to protect grain stores in the American West from invading rodents.

Deerland Malaysia
Located in a natural rainforest just a stone throw away from Kuala gandah Eplephant Sanctuary and Krau Wildlife Reserve at Bukit Rengit Lanchang, Pahang, it is about 2 hours away from Kuala Lumpur.
The serene and prestine natural environment is filled with abundance of flora and fauna.

(Animals includes monkeys, deer, snakes, sun bear and many more!)
The Sun Bear stands approximately 1.2 m (4 ft) in length, making it the smallest member in the bear (Ursidae) family. Males tend to be 10-45% larger than females; the former normally weigh between 50 and 100 kg (66-132 lb), the latter between 40 and 70 kg (44-88 lb). The Sun Bear possesses sickle-shaped claws that are relatively light in weight. It has large paws with naked soles, probably to assist in climbing. Its inward-turned feet make the bear's walk pigeon-toed, but it is an excellent climber. It has small, round ears and a stout snout. The tail is 1.2-2.8 inches (3-7 cm) long. Despite its small size, the Sun Bear possesses a very long, slender tongue, ranging from 8 to 10 inches (20-25 cm) in length. The bear uses it to extract honey from beehives.
Unlike other bears, the Sun Bear's fur is short and sleek. This adaptation is probably due to the lowland climates it inhabits. Dark black or brown-black fur covers its body, except on the chest, where there is a pale orange-yellow marking in the shape of a horseshoe. Similar colored fur can be found around the muzzle and the eyes. These distinctive markings give the Sun Bear its name.
Diet
The diet of the Sun Bear varies widely and includes small vertebrates, such as lizards, birds, and other mammals, in addition to fruits, eggs, termites, the young tips of palm trees, nests of bees, berries, sprouts, insects, roots, cocoa, and coconuts. Its powerful jaws can crack open nuts. Much of the Sun Bear's food must be detected using its keen sense of smell, as its sight is poor.
Lifestyle and Reproduction
The Sun Bear does not hibernate, and, as a result, it can reproduce year-round. The offspring reach sexual maturity after 3-4 years and may live up to 30 years in captivity. A female Sun Bear can produce 1 to 2 cubs per year. Sun Bears undergo a roughly 96 day gestation period after which the 300 to 400g cub is born blind and hairless. The cub is initially totally dependent on its mother and suckling can continue for about 18 months. After 1 to 3 months, the young cub can run, play and forage near its mother. Male Sun Bears grow larger than females. Females are observed to mate at about 3 years. During time of mating, the Sun Bear will show behavior like hugging, mock fighting and head bobbing with its mate.
Being a primarily nocturnal creature, the Sun Bear tends to rest during the day on lower limbs not far above the ground. Because it spends so much time in trees, the Sun Bear can sometimes cause damage to private property. It has been known to destroy coconut palms and cacao trees on plantations.

The Sika Deer (Cervus nippon) is a member of the deer family Cervidae that inhabits much of East Asia. It is found in mixed deciduous forests to the north, and mixed subtropical deciduous and evergreen forests to the south. The Sika Deer are closely related to Red Deer, Central Asian Red Deer and elk. Their name comes from "shika" (?), the Japanese word for "deer".
Habitat
Sika Deer are natively found around woodland areas, forests where snowfall does not exceed 10-20 cm. They also are known to inhabit city parks, gardens and market areas. Many have become very tame around humans.
Introduced species from America and Europe inhabit similar woodland areas to their natural habitat of Asia.
Behavior
Sika males are territorial and keep harems of females during the rut, which peaks from early September through October but may last well into the winter months. Territory size varies with type of habitat and size of the buck; strong, prime bucks may hold up to 2 ha. Territories are marked with a series of shallow pits, called "scrapes," into which the males urinate and from which emanates a strong, musky odor. Fights between rival males are sometimes fierce, long, and may even be fatal.
Distribution
Sika (Deer) are found from the Ussuri region of Siberia south to Korea, Manchuria and Northern and Southern China, with a possibly isolated population in Vietnam. It is also native to Taiwan and Japan and were possibly introduced to a number of countries in Europe, North America, and Oceania. Sika deer are known to escape deer farms and many of the so-called wild sika deer populations in Central and Southern China are descendants of those that have escaped and have re-established themselves in the wild.
Antler Trades
Sika Deer in China had been domesticated long ago for antler trades, along with several other species. In Taiwan, both Formosan Sika Deer and Formosan Sambar Deer (Cervus unicolor swinhoei) have been farmed for velvet antlers. The only exceptions that may have integrity as a subspecies are possibly the Dybowski's Sika deer of Manchuria and Ussuri region, and the sika deer subspecies that survive in Japan, Ryukyu Islands, and Taiwan. Japan is the only country in Eastern Asia where sika deer were not farmed for velvet antler.
Other deer raised for antler trade were Thorold's Deer (Cervus albirostris), various Central Asian Red Deer (Cervus affinis) subspecies, and Wapiti (Cervus canadensis) subspecies.

The Golden Pheasant or "Chinese Pheasant", (Chrysolophus pictus) is a gamebird of the order Galliformes (gallinaceous birds) and the family Phasianidae. It is native to forests in mountainous areas of western China but feral populations have been established in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
The adult male is 90-105 cm in length, its tail accounting for two-thirds of the total length. It is unmistakable with its golden crest and rump and bright red body. The deep orange "cape" can be spread in display, appearing as an alternating black and orange fan that covers all of the face except its bright yellow eye, with a pinpoint black pupil.
Males have a golden-yellow crest with a hint of red at the tip. The face, throat, chin, and the sides of neck are rusty tan. The wattles and orbital skin are both yellow in colour, and the ruff or cape is light orange. The upper back is green and the rest of the back and rump are golden-yellow in colour. The tertiaries are blue whereas the scapulars are dark red. Another characteristic of the male plumage is the central tail feathers which are black spotted with cinnamon as well as the tip of the tail being a cinnamon buff. The upper tail coverts are the same colour as the central tail feathers. Males also have a scarlet breast, and scarlet and light chestnut flanks and underparts. Lower legs and feet are a dull yellow.
The female (hen) is much less showy, with a duller mottled brown plumage similar to that of the female Common Pheasant. She is darker and more slender than the hen of that species, with a proportionately longer tail (half her 60–80 cm length). The female's breast and sides are barred buff and blackish brown, and the abdomen is plain buff. She has a buff face and throat. Some abnormal females may later in their lifetime get some male plumage. Lower legs and feet are a dull yellow.
Both males and females have yellow legs and yellow bills.
Despite the male's showy appearance, these hardy birds are very difficult to see in their natural habitat, which is dense, dark young conifer forests with sparse undergrowth. Consequently, little is known of their behaviour in the wild.
They feed on the ground on grain, leaves and invertebrates, but roost in trees at night. While they can fly, they prefer to run: but if startled they can suddenly burst upwards at great speed, with a distinctive wing sound.
Although they can fly in short bursts they are quite clumsy in flight and spend most of their time on the ground. Golden Pheasants lay 8-12 eggs at a time and will then incubate these for around 22–23 days. They tend to eat berries, grubs, seeds and other types of vegetation.

The ferret is a domestic mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo. Ferrets are sexually dimorphic predators with males being substantially larger than females. They typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur, have an average length of approximately 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail,[1] weigh about 1.5–4 pounds (0.7–2 kg), and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.
Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae (weasels) also have the word ferret in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat, the Steppe Polecat, or some hybrid of the two.
The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals. It is very likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are being kept simply as pets.
Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of ferret polecat hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna, perhaps most notably in New Zealand. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.
Ferreting
For millennia, the main use of ferrets was for hunting, or ferreting. With their long, lean build and inquisitive nature, ferrets are very well equipped for getting down holes and chasing rodents and rabbits out of their burrows. Caesar Augustus sent ferrets or mongooses (named "viverrae" by Plinius) to the Balearic Islands to control the rabbit plagues in 6 BC.They are still used for hunting in some countries, including the United Kingdom, where rabbits are considered a plague species by farmers. However, the practice is illegal in several countries where it is feared that ferrets could unbalance the ecology.
In England, in 1390, a law was enacted restricting the use of ferrets for hunting:
... it is ordained that no manner of layman which hath not lands to the value of forty shillings a year [the equivalent of about £1,000 in today's money] shall from henceforth keep any greyhound or other dog to hunt, nor shall he use ferrets, nets, heys, harepipes nor cords, nor other engines for to take or destroy deer, hares, nor conies, nor other gentlemen's game, under pain of twelve months' imprisonment.
Ferrets were first introduced into the New World in the 17th century, and were used extensively from 1860 until the start of World War II to protect grain stores in the American West from invading rodents.

Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries *
Brief Description
Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries, home to more than 30% of the world's pandas which are classed as highly endangered, covers 924,500 ha with seven nature reserves and nine scenic parks in the Qionglai and Jiajin Mountains. The sanctuaries constitute the largest remaining contiguous habitat of the giant panda, a relict from the paleo-tropic forests of the Tertiary Era. It is also the species' most important site for captive breeding. The sanctuaries are home to other globally endangered animals such as the red panda, the snow leopard and clouded leopard. They are among the botanically richest sites of any region in the world outside the tropical rainforests, with between 5,000 and 6,000 species of flora in over 1,000 genera.

The Sichuan Giant Panda Sanctuaries (simplified Chinese: 四川大熊猫栖息地; traditional Chinese: 四川大熊貓棲息地; pinyin: Sìchuān Dàxióngmāo Qīxīdì) located in southwest Sichuan province of China, is the home to more than 30% of the world's highly endangered Giant Pandas and is among the most important sites for the captive breeding of these pandas. It covers 9245 km² with seven nature reserves and nine scenic parks in the Qionglai and Jiajin Mountains. Along with the Giant Panda, the sanctuary is a refuge to other endangered species such as the red panda, the snow leopard, and the clouded leopard. Outside of the tropical rainforests, it is among the botanically richest sites of the world, and is home to between 5,000 and 6,000 species of flora. It has been noted that the region is similar to the paleo-tropic forests of the Tertiary Era.

Mount Emei (Chinese: 峨嵋山; pinyin: Éméi Shān; Wade–Giles: O2-mei2 Shan1, pronounced [ɤ̌měɪ̯ ʂán]) is a mountain in Sichuan province, China. Mount Emei is often written as 峨眉山 and occasionally 峩嵋山 or 峩眉山 but all three are translated as Mount Emei or Mount Emeishan: the word 峨 can mean "high" or "lofty", but the mountain's name is merely a toponym that carries no additional meaning.
Orographically, Mt. Emei sits at the western rim of the Sichuan Basin. The mountains west of it are known as Daxiangling.[1] A large surrounding area of countryside is geologically known as the Permian Emeishan Large Igneous Province, a large igneous province generated by the Emeishan Traps volcanic eruptions during the Permian Period. At 3,099 metres (10,167 ft), Mt. Emei is the highest of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China.[2]
Administratively, Mt. Emei (Emeishan) is located near the county-level city of the same name (Emeishan City), which is part of the prefecture-level city of Leshan.
Mt. Emei was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.[3]

The Leshan Giant Buddha (simplified Chinese: 乐山大佛; traditional Chinese: 樂山大佛; pinyin: Lèshān Dàfó) was built during the Tang Dynasty (618–907AD). It is carved out of a cliff face that lies at the confluence of the Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi rivers in the southern part of Sichuan province in China, near the city of Leshan. The stone sculpture faces Mount Emei, with the rivers flowing below his feet. It is the largest carved stone Buddha in the world[1] and it is by far the tallest pre-modern statue in the world.
The Mount Emei Scenic Area, including Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. It was not damaged by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.[2]

As the bodhimaṇḍa of Samantabhadra
Mount Emei is one of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China, and is traditionally regarded as the bodhimaṇḍa, or place of enlightenment, of the bodhisattva Samantabhadra. Samantabhadra is known in Mandarin as Pǔxián Púsà (普賢菩薩).
16th and 17th century sources allude to the practice of martial arts in the monasteries of Mount Emei[4] made the earliest extant reference to the Shaolin Monastery as Chinese boxing's place of origin.[5]
[edit]Buddhist architecture on Emei
This is the location of the first Buddhist temple built in China in the 1st century CE.[3] The site has seventy-six Buddhist monasteries of the Ming and Qing period, most of them located near the mountain top. The monasteries demonstrate a flexible architectural style that adapts to the landscape. Some, such as the halls of Baoguosi, are built on terraces of varying levels, while others, including the structures of Leiyinsi, are on raised stilts. Here the fixed plans of Buddhist monasteries of earlier periods were modified or ignored in order to make full use of the natural scenery. The buildings of Qingyinge are laid out in an irregular plot on the narrow piece of land between the Black Dragon River and the White Dragon River. The site is large and the winding foot path is 50 km, taking several days to walk.[6]
Cable cars ease the ascent to the two temples at Jinding (3,077 m), an hour's hike from the mountain's peak.[2][7]
[edit]Sunrise and clouds sea
Great spectacles of Mount Emei include the sunrise and Clouds Sea seen from the Golden Summit of the mountain.
The sunrise is very varied, but optimally begins with the ground and sky being in the same dark purple, soon showing rosy clouds, followed by a bright purple arc and then a semicircle where the sun is coming up.[8]
The Clouds Sea includes several cloud phenomena, e.g. clouds appearing in the sky above, in addition to the regular clouds beneath.[8]
[edit]Climate
The summit of Mount Emei has an alpine subarctic climate (Köppen Dwc), with long, cold (but not severely so) winters, and short, cool summers. The monthly daily average temperature ranges from −5.7 °C (21.7 °F) in January to 11.6 °C (52.9 °F), and an annual mean of 3.07 °C (37.5 °F). Precipitation is common year-round, but due to the influence of the monsoon, rainfall is especially heavy in summer, and more than 70% of the annual total occurs from June to September.
Head of the statue
Construction was started in 713, led by a Chinese monk named Haitong. He hoped that the Buddha would calm the turbulent waters that plagued the shipping vessels traveling down the river. When funding for the project was threatened, he is said to have gouged out his own eyes to show his piety and sincerity. After his death, however, the construction was stuck due to insufficient funding. About 70 years later, a jiedushi decided to sponsor the project and the construction was completed by Haitong's disciples in 803.
Apparently the massive construction resulted in so much stone being removed from the cliff face and deposited into the river below that the currents were indeed altered by the statue, making the waters safe for passing ships.
[edit]Degradation
The Leshan Buddha has been affected by the pollution emanating from the unbridled development in the region. According to Xinhua news agency, the Leshan Giant Buddha and many Chinese natural and cultural heritage sites in the region have seen degradations from weathering, air pollution, and swarms of tourists. The government has promised to restore the site to its former condition.[3]
[edit]Dimensions
At 71 metres (233 feet) tall, the statue depicts a seated Maitreya Buddha with his hands resting on his knees. His shoulders are 28 metres wide and his smallest toenail is large enough to easily accommodate a seated person. There is a local saying: "The mountain is a Buddha and the Buddha is a mountain". This is partially because the mountain range in which the Leshan Giant Buddha is located is thought to be shaped like a slumbering Buddha when seen from the river, with the Leshan Giant Buddha as its heart.

The ferret is a domestic mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo. Ferrets are sexually dimorphic predators with males being substantially larger than females. They typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur, have an average length of approximately 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail,[1] weigh about 1.5–4 pounds (0.7–2 kg), and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.
Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae (weasels) also have the word ferret in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat, the Steppe Polecat, or some hybrid of the two.
The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals. It is very likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are being kept simply as pets.
Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of ferret polecat hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna, perhaps most notably in New Zealand. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.
Ferreting
For millennia, the main use of ferrets was for hunting, or ferreting. With their long, lean build and inquisitive nature, ferrets are very well equipped for getting down holes and chasing rodents and rabbits out of their burrows. Caesar Augustus sent ferrets or mongooses (named "viverrae" by Plinius) to the Balearic Islands to control the rabbit plagues in 6 BC.They are still used for hunting in some countries, including the United Kingdom, where rabbits are considered a plague species by farmers. However, the practice is illegal in several countries where it is feared that ferrets could unbalance the ecology.
In England, in 1390, a law was enacted restricting the use of ferrets for hunting:
... it is ordained that no manner of layman which hath not lands to the value of forty shillings a year [the equivalent of about £1,000 in today's money] shall from henceforth keep any greyhound or other dog to hunt, nor shall he use ferrets, nets, heys, harepipes nor cords, nor other engines for to take or destroy deer, hares, nor conies, nor other gentlemen's game, under pain of twelve months' imprisonment.
Ferrets were first introduced into the New World in the 17th century, and were used extensively from 1860 until the start of World War II to protect grain stores in the American West from invading rodents.

Our inner person can be the perfect residence for the scariest monsters we can ever imagine. Fueled by our fears and insecurities, they often do more harm than anything else, because they are personalized to our own self.
"It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going."
~ Carl Gustav Jung

The Golden Pheasant or "Chinese Pheasant", (Chrysolophus pictus) is a gamebird of the order Galliformes (gallinaceous birds) and the family Phasianidae. It is native to forests in mountainous areas of western China but feral populations have been established in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
The adult male is 90-105 cm in length, its tail accounting for two-thirds of the total length. It is unmistakable with its golden crest and rump and bright red body. The deep orange "cape" can be spread in display, appearing as an alternating black and orange fan that covers all of the face except its bright yellow eye, with a pinpoint black pupil.
Males have a golden-yellow crest with a hint of red at the tip. The face, throat, chin, and the sides of neck are rusty tan. The wattles and orbital skin are both yellow in colour, and the ruff or cape is light orange. The upper back is green and the rest of the back and rump are golden-yellow in colour. The tertiaries are blue whereas the scapulars are dark red. Another characteristic of the male plumage is the central tail feathers which are black spotted with cinnamon as well as the tip of the tail being a cinnamon buff. The upper tail coverts are the same colour as the central tail feathers. Males also have a scarlet breast, and scarlet and light chestnut flanks and underparts. Lower legs and feet are a dull yellow.
The female (hen) is much less showy, with a duller mottled brown plumage similar to that of the female Common Pheasant. She is darker and more slender than the hen of that species, with a proportionately longer tail (half her 60–80 cm length). The female's breast and sides are barred buff and blackish brown, and the abdomen is plain buff. She has a buff face and throat. Some abnormal females may later in their lifetime get some male plumage. Lower legs and feet are a dull yellow.
Both males and females have yellow legs and yellow bills.
Despite the male's showy appearance, these hardy birds are very difficult to see in their natural habitat, which is dense, dark young conifer forests with sparse undergrowth. Consequently, little is known of their behaviour in the wild.
They feed on the ground on grain, leaves and invertebrates, but roost in trees at night. While they can fly, they prefer to run: but if startled they can suddenly burst upwards at great speed, with a distinctive wing sound.
Although they can fly in short bursts they are quite clumsy in flight and spend most of their time on the ground. Golden Pheasants lay 8-12 eggs at a time and will then incubate these for around 22–23 days. They tend to eat berries, grubs, seeds and other types of vegetation.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

The Rusa Deer or Sunda Sambar, Cervus timorensis, are native to the islands of Java eastwards towards Bali, and Timor in Indonesia. This species of deer is similar in ecology to the Chital of India, occupying open dry and mixed deciduous forests, parklands, and savannas. Rusa deer are also found as an introduced species on the Australian mainland and are a close relative to the larger Sambar deer.
Rusa Deer are moderately hunted in eastern Australasia and they have also established populations in remote islands probably brought by Indonesian fishermen. There are two subspecies of the Rusa; the more common and larger Javan Rusa, a large stag (male deer) weighing in at around 136 kg with does(females) being much smaller tipping the scales at around 96 kg. The second species of Rusa deer is the less common and slightly smaller Mollucan Rusa which on average are 20 kg lighter than their Javan cousins.
Rusa Deer are predominantly active around the early morning and late afternoon rarely being seen in the open and being very difficult to approach due to their keen senses and naturally cautious instincts. These deer have shown a very good sense of adaptation; living as comfortably in the dry Australian bush as they do in their tropical homelands. This trait is shown well in the more frequent encounters on the fringes of Wollongong and Sydney, and in particular, the Royal National Park, indicating steadily growing numbers and strong herds.
Rusa Deer are recognised by their large ears, the light tufts of hair above the eyebrows, the typical antlers seeming overly large for their body size. If you get get close to a free ranging Rusa stag and spook him, he will let out an extremely loud honk. This is a form of alarm and will alert any other deer in the vicinity of the unrecognised danger.
Rusa Deer are very sociable and you will rarely find one on its own; it may seem to be alone but these animals are masters of camouflage. Rusa Deer are so adept at hiding themselves that they may sometimes let you walk right past.
These animals breed around July and August in a period known as the rut. At this time stags battle for dominance and breeding rights of the females and contest these bouts through calling in a loud shrill bark or physical contact with the antlers.
The female's calf at the start of spring and animals are mature in aroung 3 to 5 years depending on conditions and habitat.
