The objective for this image was to show the mucilaginous layer which covers the filament. It is evident at the center in the septum bridging the gap between the two cell end walls. It appears as a halo. This is what makes the material feel slimy.
Specimen of Spyrogyra collected from a spring near the Pucker Street Dam on the Dowagiac River 2/7/2015.

Title of photo: Rubik’s cube
Photo #2
Objective 2: Creative Exposure
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M) and why I chose it: I chose Av because I am able to control more directly my aperture.
f stop used and why: F4.5.I used a low f # to get a shallow depth of field, so the main focus of the picture is sharp, and the rest of the photo is distorted.
shutter speed used and why:
ISO used and why: ISO:400. The place my photo was taken had lots of lighting so I used a low ISO. The lower the ISO, the less sensitive the sensor is to light.
Exposure compensation and why it was used: Did not use it.
Focal length and why: 36.0mm, because I wanted to get less of a warped image.
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
Emphasis: I made the cube the focal point of the image, and made the background distorted by using a low f#.
Tone: The black and white of the subject’s hands and shirt created a three dimensional feel to the Rubix’s cube.
Contrast: The lights and darks of photo draws the attention the main focal point.
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, resize, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
First, I changed the picture to black and white, and then used the level tool to level the black and white. To make sure what parts of the photo I wanted to make pure black or pure white. After that, I duplicated the original layer, with that layer went to high pass under “Filter”, to give the subjects hand more detail. After I was done with the Filter, I overlaid the copied layer with the original. Finally, I finished by punching through the black and white layer by using the brush tool, to bring out the colour of the Rubik’s cube. Then contrasted the photo with the curves tool.
Objective 6: Critique
I could have used the rule of thirds better. I could have also incorporated more elements and principals into the photo.

The objective of the rally was to demand that the leadership of the city listens to the voices of the people of Chicago instead of those of the corporate elite. It's time to end the privatization agenda of the one percent that hurts families, neighborhoods and closes school. Elected public officials must stand against corporate raiders and invest in communities and neighborhoods.
Specifically:
Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Companies like McDonald's and Walmart can easily afford to pay a decent wage. They make billions of dollars in profits each year, yet the people on the front line who do the work to make this possible are told to 'find second jobs' or live on public assistance programs.
An elected school board that represents the people, not just bankers and CEOs. In Chicago, the school board is appointed by the mayor.
Reform the Chicago Housing Authority. The CHA must be accountable to the people it is supposed to serve. It has currently stockpiled millions of dollars in federal funding, more than enough to issue over 13,000 housing vouchers. Meanwhile, thousands of Chicagoans will be homeless this winter.
End home foreclosures. Bankers should negotiate with homeowners who are experiencing difficulties meeting their monthly mortgage payments. This is a much better way to go than simply throwing people out into the street.
Yasin Malik is the chairman of the now banned Kashmir Liberation Front and most objective analysts agree that, as Wikipedia itself notes, 'Malik renounced violence in 1994 and adopted peaceful methods to come to a settlement of the Kashmir conflict.'
Despite this, he was arrested in 2019 and kept in what a petition presented by Labour MP Debbie Abrahams to the British parliament has described as "inhumane conditions" preceding an unfair trial. Three years later, on 22 May 2022 Malik was sentenced by an Indian court to life imprisonment on what the petition points out was a 'contrived' charge of terror funding.

On Saturday 5 August, activists gathered in central London to protest the ongoing brutal and illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir by India and its use of extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, intimidation and censorship to maintain its control.
Many of those present were also angry at Britain's continued support of India and failure to take action in support of the Kashmiri people's struggle for independence. India has forcibly occupied the region for over 75 years in open defiance of UN resolutions calling for a fair and impartial plebiscite under UN auspices to determine the area's status.
The protest marked four years since the Indian government, on 5 August 2019, revoked the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir, previously guaranteed by the constitution, and instead imposed direct rule from Delhi. As Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported, "The government action was accompanied by serious rights violations including arbitrary detention of hundreds of people, a total communications blackout and severe restrictions on freedom of movement and peaceful assembly."
www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/02/india-repression-persists-jam...
In their most recent report on Jammu and Kashmir, HRW noted that "the government's repressive policies and failure to investigate and prosecute alleged security force abuses have increased insecurity among Kashmiris," and added that "journalists in Kashmir face increasing harassment by security forces, including raids and arbitrary arrests on terrorism charges. Authorities in India have shut down the internet more often than anywhere else in the world. A majority of those shutdowns have been in Kashmir, where they are used to curb protests and access to information."

Enforced disappearances also continue as freelance journalist Mir Aiyaz reported in Fair Planet (23 February 2023). He interviewed Khera Begum about the arrest of her son, Abdul Rashid Dar, by over forty Indian army soldiers, with no police officer attending as is legally required. An officer reportedly told his older brother, Shabir, that the police had been "informed" and that he would be released the next morning. He was not. When the family and other locals went to enquire at the nearest army base, initially they were asked to return later, and then eventually told that he had "escaped from custody." As Aiyaz notes
'Rashid's family and community members do not believe the army's version of events. "How can a man escape in the presence of ever vigilant army men?" rued Shabir. "He was too meek a person to escape, and there was no possibility of running away in the forest where he was taken."
It seems equally difficult to believe that if the army had openly stated its intention to hold him for just 24 hours, that he would have risked everything on attempting to flee.
Aiyaz observes that 'locals, particularly youths living in Kunan Poshpora have altered their daily habits due to their fear of being abducted,' and he quotes a student who while 'staring at the fenced playground (of a school), which used to be brimming with kids but has recently been mostly desolate,' told him that "boys head home after the maghrib prayers, and time spent in the playground has been slashed down."

The Indian Army has deployed a huge military force in Jammu and Kashmir which some estimates suggest might be as high as 900,000 troops. One soldier for every eight civilians. According to journalist Munir Akram writing in the Pakistan Observer (6 August 2023), the Indian military has "perpetrated a vicious campaign of repressive actions, including extrajudicial killings of innocent Kashmiris in fake encounters, custodial killings and "cordon-and-search" operations; use of pellet guns to kill, maim and blind peaceful protestors, abduction and enforced disappearances and "collective punishments," with the destruction and burning of entire villages and urban neighborhoods.'

Despite India's ongoing brutal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir and despite the continued tension and risk of war with Pakistan, Britain continues to grant licenses for the export of arms to both Pakistan and India.
On 23 February 2023, Politico reported that in the wake of the Ukraine war, 'Britain's defense and aerospace firms now see an opportunity to chip away at Russia's share (of India's military imports)', adding that 'Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems are part of a delegation to Aero India, Asia's biggest airshow which is taking place this week.'
The same report also seemed to suggest that rather than attempt to limit arms exports to maintain some leverage on the shocking human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir and limit the arms race between the two regional nuclear powers - India and her neighbour Pakistan, the British government appears instead intent on promoting arms exports to India. According to Politico, "Last year the UK put India on its defense equipment fast-track - the first such move offered to an Indo-Pacific nation - in a shift that will reduce red tape and shorten delivery times for defense procurement."

It should also be noted that the United Kingdom is already one of India's largest suppliers of weapons. According to the UK House of Commons Library arms exports update in January 2023, on a "10 year rolling basis the UK is Europe's largest and the world's second largest defence exporter' beaten only by the United States (p10) and the report ranks India as the fourth largest importer of arms from the UK after Saudi Arabia, Oman and the United States, based on arms transfers between 2012 and 2021. (p21).

+ I believe I did a good job on capturing the action and the filter.
- I feel I could have done better on the angle.
Title of photo: #3
Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
Emphasis: The main focal point is in focus while the rest of the photo is out of focus. This draws the eye to the main focal point which is in the rule of thirds.
Contrast: The differences from the dark and light greens draws the eye to a specific point in the image with creates an area of emphasis.
Balance: The Balance between the light are dark is equal which draws the eye to all parts of the image.
Unity: The background is in harmony with the foreground of the photo.
Colour: The cool colours of the green of the leafs brings out a sense of belonging to the photo
Line: The horizontal lines of the branch leads the eye up the branch but still keeps the eye focused on the main focal point.
Tone: The differences between the dark and light brings value to the photo
Objective 4: Lighting
Soft diffused lighting from the clouds outside.
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, resize, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
First I duplicated the layer then I went to High Pass under Filter, then other. This brings out the detail in the leaf and the water droplets on it. Then I used the curves to balance out my contrast. I sharpened my original layer to make it just a bit sharper. Then finally I resized my photo to upload it to Flickr.
Objective 7: Photographic Styles (ex. portrait, landscape, etc.) – Explain why the settings and composition are appropriate for the style of photography. (How did you create the shot?) You do NOT need to do Objective 2 if you are handing in this objective.
Type/style of photography: Nature Photography
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): AV, I used this setting to get more control over my aperture.
f stop used: F/5.7, I used this f stop number to get a shallow depth of field
shutter speed used: 1/400, this is the shutter speed that AV mode chose
ISO used: 200, because the lighting outside was bright, so I had to use a low ISO
Exposure compensation: -1, when I was taking the photo, the camera made the pictures too bright so I had to turn down the Exposure.
Focal length:55.0mm

I was very lucky to get these two siblings for a miserable sum in late 70's or early 80's for my Canon FT(b) cameras. The only problem was that I could not afford the amount slide film needed for a single acceptable photo:-(
Maybe during this summer I have possibilities to start using them with a digital camera body.

My objective today was to work with extension tubes added to my 70-200mm lens to get as close as possible and as clear as possible with hand-held shots. The tubes make managing DoF a challenge so the 'keeper' rate goes down, but I got some I like. Hope you do to.

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Frustration
It's bad enough to be stuck in a day-long training. But when you find out that you're stuck in a day long training for something you'll never do, that's even more frustrating... Thankfully, we have substance abuse to help us cope with life's frustrations.
WIT: Went with a small depth of field to convey that there's a reason the bottle isn't full, and perhaps to give a feeling of all that frustratingly useless training blurring into a mass of stuff to be forgotten.

One of the main objectives of the European Union is to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion between regions. The reformed EU Cohesion Policy 2014-2020 comes at a pivotal moment. Recent years of austerity have seen rising unemployment and widening inequality, especially in peripheral regions, with youth, women and ethnic minorities worst affected.
Making over €350 billion available to invest in Europe's regions, cities and the real economy, the reformed Cohesion Policy is the EU's principal investment tool to deliver the Europe 2020 goals: creating growth and jobs, tackling climate change and energy dependence, reducing poverty and social exclusion. Once member states’ national contributions and the leverage effect of financial instruments are taken into account, the impact is likely to be over €500 billion.
Launching a new partnership with the European Commission, with the participation of the OECD, Salzburg Global’s program is timed to help key stakeholders understand the rules and results-oriented focus of the reformed Cohesion Policy and ensure maximum impact for these investments. It will build on our longstanding European program which has featured over 15 sessions devoted to the EU’s development and expansion, grounded in our location at the crossroads of East and West.
The 2014 program will focus on ways in which regional development policy and complementary instruments can enhance competitiveness and effective governance at local, regional and transboundary levels.
Participants will examine tools for environmentally sustainable innovation, human capital development, creation and financing of SMEs and the transition to a low carbon economy. They will compare practical projects and mechanisms that have delivered successful outcomes for competitiveness and inclusive growth, in and beyond Europe, in order to identify transferable tools and connect stakeholders who are leading cutting-edge work around the world.
The program will be held from May 17 to May 22, 2014 in Salzburg, Austria, with a one day, high-level pre-session meeting on May 17-18, focusing on European competitiveness, the shift to low carbon economies, and the role of sustainable cities.
School Project
Objective: To create a informational guide to a certain area of montreal.
Concept:
To create an informational guide to three east-bound, and three west-bound peaks of Mount-Royal. The spots were chosen in relation to their view of the sun's position along the horizon at dawn or dusk. Each of the photographs were taken at different times of the sun's rise or set, from the locations of the peaks.
The guide was made in the format of two booklets within a sleeve. When pulled out of the sleeve, the die-cuts interact with the covers of the booklets to show a sun rising. Each of the booklets contain a bit of information about the peaks, and some spots of interest along the horizon. On the back of each booklet is a map of the mountain, with a general direction on the position of each of the peaks.
The sleeve also doubles as a sundial. with a die-cut that lifts up to tell the time in relation to the sun.
The booklet also comes with a packaged compass, pictures of that to come.
Trump & Erdogan are in Belgium for a NATO meeting.. and over 12000 Belgians took to the streets to protest their presidencies.
It’s objectively too late to restrain population and consumption growth so as to avert what ecologists of the 1970s called a “hard landing.”
It is the lie that human society can continue growing its population and consumption levels indefinitely on our finite planet, and never suffer consequences.
Perhaps Donald Trump succeeded because his promises spoke to what civilizations in decline tend to want to hear. It could be argued that the pluralistic, secular, cosmopolitan, tolerant, constitutional democratic nation state is a political arrangement appropriate for a growing economy buoyed by pervasive optimism. (On a scale much smaller than contemporary America, ancient Greece and Rome during their early expansionary periods provided examples of this kind of political-social arrangement). As societies contract, people turn fearful, angry, and pessimistic—and fear, anger, and pessimism fairly dripped from Trump’s inaugural address. In periods of decline, strongmen tend to arise promising to restore past glories and to defeat domestic and foreign enemies. Repressive kleptocracies are the rule rather than the exception.
My Pentax Microscope Adapter from Ebay showed up so I had to test it.
Seems the eyepiece tube on my microscope is slightly larger than the 25mm the adapter is designed for. I had to stretch the 'fastener tube' opening on the adapter to make it fit.
This image was shot with the Nikon 10X objective and the 10X eyepiece in place. The total magnification is therefore approx. 22X (10x10/4.5). The image width is 1.1mm
I tried without the eyepiece in place but there was a hotspot in the center of the image.

Haringey's warped bins graveyard. The design objectives behind the wheelie bin were efficient use of space and safety: to provide at least as much space as the older round bins, whilst reducing the risk of injury caused by moving it. This is important for both householder and bin man, who risked injury through lifting the traditional bin or from sharp, or possibly contaminated objects in rubbish bags. Standard dimensions are important because the bins must be lifted by a fixed sized hoist on the dustcart. The bins are lifted by the lip at the front which must be designed for maximum stiffness and mechanical strength.

Every day, in the course of normal corporate advertising and personal communications, people are reminded which groups are "underrepresented," "lacking" or "falling behind." Aspiring candidates are subjected to reminders of performance problems or perceived gaps between the genders and which group is "dominating" them. Motivated by the inequities they see around them and driven by the desire to "combat them," academicians use crude racial and gender substitutes of underrepresented minority (URM) and non-URM.
