From reckless corporate consolidation of the media industry, the Presidential persecution of whistle blowers to the targeting of independent wartime journalists by our military, our system has completely failed us. The continuous stream of sensationalism feeds our addiction to drama, hyperstimulating the senses with fear and novelty. The war drums beat to the tune of our racing hearts – which rage with fury over manipulated messages driven by those in power.
Personally, my advise would be to shut off the TVs – which drive us away from the essence of a meaningful existence. Ignore all mainstream messages – they are rooted in profit. Focus our thoughts and hearts to kindness, forgiveness and tolerance. The Fourth Estate will burn on its own.

One of the primary new techniques (for me) used in this build was the implementation of Lego nets (71155) for sculpting. By backing each net with smaller plates – set apart by 1 stud – and then using 1x1 round plate pips on the front side (sandwiching the net in between), I had a flexible scrim which I could then build off of. This allowed for the undulating forms in the explosion area.
Locally known as Cheenavala. The Chinese nets are suspended in the mid air. The nets are set up on bamboo or teak poles and are basically fixed land installations. These nets are horizontally suspended over the sea, giving an appearance of huge hammock. For balance, these nets are counter balanced by stones tied to ropes. Each net spreads over an area of about 20 meters.
The technique of fishing by Chinese fishing nets differs from the technique of ordinary fishing nets. While fishing by Chinese fishing nets, the nets are submerged into the sea, kept for a few minutes and raised delicately at a time by six fishermen. All of these six fishermen must maintain the balance while picking the net out of water.
Early morning tasks on the Thu Bon river in Hoi An Vietnam in a boat with the traditional eyes painted on. According to legend, the custom of decorating Vietnamese fishing boats with a pair of eyes is credited to Lac Long Quan, who believed this practice would scare off sea monsters. Lac Long Quan also advised fishermen to have their backs tattooed with images of gnashing teeth and huge claws as a further deterrent.
She died in the upstairs bedroom
By the light of the ev'ning star
That shone through the plate glass window
From over Leamington Spa
Beside her the lonely crochet
Lay patiently and unstirred,
But the fingers that would have work'd it
Were dead as the spoken word.
And Nurse came in with the tea-things
Breast high 'mid the stands and chairs-
But Nurse was alone with her own little soul,
And the things were alone with theirs.
She bolted the big round window,
She let the blinds unroll,
She set a match to the mantle,
She covered the fire with coal.
And "Tea!" she said in a tiny voice
"Wake up! It's nearly five"
Oh! Chintzy, chintzy cheeriness,
Half dead and half alive.
Do you know that the stucco is peeling?
Do you know that the heart will stop?
From those yellow Italianate arches
Do you hear the plaster drop?
Nurse looked at the silent bedstead,
At the gray, decaying face,
As the calm of a Leamington ev'ning
Drifted into the place.
She moved the table of bottles
Away from the bed to the wall;
And tiptoeing gently over the stairs
Turned down the gas in the hall.
Death In Leamington

In India, Chinese fishing nets (Cheena vala) are fishing nets that are fixed land installations for fishing. While commonly known as "Chinese fishing nets" in India, the more formal name for such nets is "shore operated lift nets
Its been a long while since I last posted anything here on Flickr, so I thought I'd drop an image I took last year in Japan. At this time last year I was eagerly anticipating heading over to Japan, which was less than a month away. I was so excited to go, and I have to say I was not disappointed at all. Japan is the most wonderful country full of tradition juxtaposed against totally modern.
The scene here though is of seaweed nets which is probably unchanged in many decades if not centuries. This was such a peaceful experience wading out into the shallows to get the perfect angle, height etc.
For those who are heading out with Rohan and Stephen this year - your in for a fabulous week, and I'm very jealous

It becomes apparent that one of the qualities needed to survive as a fisherman is that of patience. The nets are huge and the toll on their fragility is constant. So after all the hard work out at sea, the fisherman has to focus on this delicate and repetitive work.
In the comment box it is easier to see the stretching device used to hold the nets.

We ended up in Breskens, Holland, in the province of Zeeland.
It was steadily raining, the sky was milky, the light was flat, everything looked sad and deserted...
No weather for photography!!!
I braved it, I'd seen a shot... these empty fykes (fuik=type of fish-trap) hung up in the mast of a fishing boat.
It often pays to look up... and down.
I like the 'graphic' quality.
Have a great day don't forget to look UP, lol.
Take care, be safe!
thank you for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)
