UPDATE ON BABY PIGEONS ON THE PATIO:
For those of you who have been following this story of the baby pigeions growing up in a hanging basket on our patio, you know that the larger one (whom I called Henry), had gone missing. I thought for sure he had been taken by a cat. :-(
But, when I got up the next morning I looked outside to check on Henrietta (the remaining baby pigeon), and lo and behold, there was Henry on the straw mat on the ground in front of the dining room doors! I went outside and carefully took him in my hands (he was so warm!) and placed him back in the nest with Henrietta. He seemed really happy to be back there.
Well, Henry (or perhaps it was Henrietta?) fell out of the basket again yesterday, and it is not surprising because they are getting pretty big now. My sister put her back in the basket and they both seem to be doing well, growing like crazy. Here they are at 3 weeks old. Now they are about the same size and I can't tell who is Henry or Henrietta!
INFORMATION ON THE PIGEON:
The Rock Pigeon (Columba livia), or Rock Dove, is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the "pigeon". The species includes the domestic pigeon, and escaped domestic pigeons have given rise to the feral pigeon.
Wild Rock Pigeons are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, although domestic and feral pigeons are very variable in colour and pattern. There are few visible differences between males and females.The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents care for the young for a time.
Habitats include various open and semi-open environments, including agricultural and urban areas. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild. Originally found wild in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, feral Rock Pigeons have become established in cities around the world. The species is abundant, with an estimated population of 17 to 28 million feral and wild birds in Europe.
The Rock Pigeon breeds at any time of the year, but peak times are spring and summer. Nesting sites are situated along coastal cliff faces, as well as the artificial cliff faces created by apartment buildings with accessible ledges or roof spaces.
The type of nest constructed is a flimsy platform of straw and sticks, put on ledge, under cover. Often window ledges of buildings.Two white eggs are laid with incubation that is shared by both parents lasting from seventeen to nineteen days.
The nestling has pale yellow down and a flesh-coloured bill with a dark band. It is tended and fed on "crop milk" like other doves. The fledging period is 30 days.

In January 1916, George Rieveschl was born in Arlington Heights, Ohio. The son of a paper mill worker, Rieveschl graduated from the Ohio Mechanics Institute of Technology in 1933, and he sought employment as a commercial artist. Unfortunately for Rieveschl, the Great Depression currently gripped the United States, and he could not find work in his chosen profession. He assisted his family by working at their restaurant, but Rieveschl eventually decided to enroll in the University of Cincinnati, where he majored in chemistry. Upon graduating in 1937, Rieveschl entered graduate school at the University of Cincinnati. He earned his doctorate degree in 1940, and he proceeded to accept a teaching position at the University of Cincinnati.
Within two years of joining the faculty at the University of Cincinnati, Rieveschl had become an assistant professor. He embarked upon numerous research experiments, but his primary focus was on relieving muscle spasms.
His research resulted in the discovery of Benadryl, an antihistamine used for allergy sufferers. Benadryl reduces the amount of Histamine in the human body, a chemical that causes allergy symptoms. Approved in 1946, Benadryl, at first, was available only through prescription.
In 1943, Rieveschl left the University of Cincinnati for a position with Parke, Davis & Company in Detroit, Michigan. He rose through the company's ranks, becoming vice president of commercial development in 1961. In 1965, Rieveschl left Parke-Davis. He spent the next several years as a private consultant for various pharmaceutical firms.
He returned to the University of Cincinnati in 1970, accepting a position as vice president of research. While at the University of Cincinnati, Rieveschl also served as acting vice president of the university's medical center. He retired from the University of Cincinnati in 1982. Over the course of his career, Rieveschl received numerous honors and awards, including the Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce's Great Living Cincinnatian Award and induction into the International Science and Engineering Hall of Fame. The University of Cincinnati also named a building in his honor.
UC prof, Benadryl inventor dies
September 27, 2007
George Rieveschl, who invented the drug Benadryl while he was a chemical engineering professor at the University of Cincinnati, died Thursday morning at Christ Hospital following a bout of pneumonia. He was 91.
A 1937 alumnus of UC, Rieveschl was honored last year as Benadryl reached its 60th anniversary. He was an important benefactor to UC. Mary Sue Cheeseman, who worked in development at UC for 29 years, estimated that he had contributed about $10 million.
"He was constantly giving of his resources and of himself," she said. "It was always about the other person or the university. He never was a person who needed to brag or needed the attention."
George Rieveschl, Jr., Papers, 1916-2007, Collection No. 19
The collection contains primarily papers covering George Rieveschl, Jr's, professional career, including his education. There are significant holdings, however, on his personal life, including correspondence, philanthropic work, and community involvement. Rieveschl was a chemist, known for his creation of Benadryl®. The papers cover his life from beginning to end, 1916-2007, and slightly beyond, with the bulk covering from the 1930s (the beginning of his advanced educational pursuits) until his death in 2007.
What many do not know is that Rieveschl continued to pursue his craft throughout his life, even though he never became a professional artist. He painted a series of landscapes, several pieces of abstract art, designed holiday cards to send to friends and family, and not to mention the hundreds of doodles that exist in the Rieveschl archives collection, most of which are quite elaborate. His doodles are an indication of the level of thought processes running through his mind so much of the time, and his commitment to focusing on the tasks at hand (doodling has been show to help focus attention).

Here's another version of the PHP (for Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj - First Croatian Pistol), the MV-9, made in the early 1990's in Croatia. The MV's are often described as a love child of a Walther P38 and a Beretta 92, as it has features of both. The barrel locking system is the tilting wedge with a "push button" used by both the Beretta and the Walther. It has the Walther's exposed barrel and the Beretta's high capacity magazine. The MV-9 seen here is somewhat shorter than the MV-17, as the muzzle is almost flush with the front of the slide.
In spite of the fact that it's a first attempt and that there was a particularly nasty war going on at the time, the pistol is fairly well made. It has the checkerboard Croatian crest stamped on the top of the slide, just behind the exposed portion of the barrel.
This one shows some use as evidenced by dings, scratches and honest wear, compared to the MV17, which came to me in nearly pristine, unissued condition.
The MV pistols were made by the arsenal which later became HS Arms, manufacturer of the HS2000, sold in the U. S. as the Springfield Armory XD series.
I quit smoking on Monday night. I think about having a cigarette probably every 5 minutes. It will just pop in my head "Oh, time for a smoke!!" Then I remember.
I watch that show Intervention, and I always think for an alcoholic, how sad and hard it would be to have an addiction to alcohol. To where you could NEVER have a drink for the rest of your life. I hardly ever drink, but if I want to drink I can, and I can not drink for another 8 months.
So, with cigarettes, I suppose I am like an alcoholic or any addict for that matter. I can never have another cigarette for the rest of my life.
Do you know this makes me cry inside? It isn't even that I'm addicted to the nicotine so much. I've never had a real strong "Oh my God I NEED a cigarette RIGHT NOW before I kill someone." feeling. I just truly enjoy smoking. So much so that I smoked nearly 2 packs within a 24 hour period. Yeah, I know. Crazy! I could out smoke probably anyone.
The thought of not going on a long drive on the weekend without smoking, makes me sad. What will I do??? Going and having a coffee, and not smoking? Seriously??? I've seen people do it, but I don't' know how?!
It's hard too when the dude at 7-11 knows what cigarettes I smoke, and immediatly goes for them. I went there yesterday, and had to stop him and tell him I quit.
I've had so many split second thoughts of running to 7-11 and just buying a pack. Screw it. Then I come back down to reality, and I realize the only good reason I have to continue smoking is: I like it.
I have a list of reason to not smoke. Mainly, I don't have the best genes out there. Since my Dad died at 29 years old from heart disease, dying has never been far from my mind. It's actually always been pretty much right there ever since I realized about death and dying. I want to live as long as I can, and be here to see my Grandchildren. I can't imagine anything worse then dying before my children are grown.
So, yeah. I've got quite the battle ahead of me. I'm not even 48 hours into this. I'm feeling pretty good though about it. I'm even taking out $10 a day, just to see how much money I actually throw away.
My hair still smells clean. I love that!

A view from the top of the stairs leading from El Alto down to La Paz (in the background).
El Alto is the sister city of La Paz, right next to it but above, in the altiplano. While La Paz expands downwards along the valley, with the richest population leaving in the lowest parts, El Alto is growing further from it, peopled by poor immigrants from the highlands.

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me
Although he may not be the man
Some girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
I'm simply in love with this song (as you probably have noticed) and have been for a while now. I wanted to do a picture that portrayed this specific line, but I didn't want to do a typical boring lip shot. So this is what I came up with.
**Updated!! Since this picture was supposed to be abstract to some extent anyway, I added in another layer (this texture) because I just generally loved the blending of the veil's lines with the lines from my lips. I also like how it filled the empty spaces. Happy-making. <3
Lung of love - leaves me breathless
Tongue of fool - lap me in enmity
Four walled secret lies among the hessian
And a flicker of the future
Could've saved the cindered sister
Colourless, i kiss her cold forehead; i feel life
Lose it in a minute and
The ones to come feel too far to care
People concertina to my private magic lantern move for me
With the senses all inclusive
In the theatre of triggered memories
And I'm motioning still they stand inside me
And moments until the one i leave.

Built in 1940 by Hawker Aircraft Ltd at Kingston-on-Thames, then assembled and test flown at either Brooklands or Langley, Z2389 came from the 5th production batch of 1,000 RAF Hurricanes delivered from August 1940 to July 1941.
Hurricane WorkshopZ2389 served with five different RAF Squadrons in 1941, including the American volunteer 71 ‘Eagle’ Squadron at Martlesham Heath. As part of emergency war supplies for Russia, Z2389 was crated up and loaded on the merchant ship SS ‘S85’ which joinied Convoy PQ16. The convoy left for Murmansk on 21st May 1942. With 35 vessels, this was the largest Russian convoy so far - losing seven cargo ships en route.
On arrival the aircraft joined 767 Regiment of the Red Air Force on the Kola Penninsula. On the 20th June 1942, it engaged two Messerschmitt Bf109Fs and five Bf110s over a remote part of Murmansk but was shot down along with two other Hurricanes. Z2389’s pilot F/Lt Ivan Kalashnikov survived the forced landing.
Fifty years later, Z2389 was found by Russian historians and its remains were taken to St Petersburg in 1996. In 1997, the part-restored aircraft was first seen by WW2 recovery specialist, Jim Pearce, then inspected by Brooklands Museum in May. Z2389 arrived at Brooklands on the 14th October 1997 and was the first historic aircraft to be purchased with a Heritage Lottery Fund grant. Its restoration began in 1999 and it was unveiled on the 75th anniversary of the first flight of a Hurricane, which took place at Brooklands on the 6th November 1935. Restoration to taxying condition continues.
By Hurricane Z2389 is an exhibition opened in 2010 on ‘Brooklands in the Battle of Britain’, which traces the role of Brooklands in the famous World War Two battle, including the two air raids on the Brooklands site on the 4th & 6th September 1940.
I picked up the Lensbaby Fisheye Optic at Imaging USA this year. Initially I thought I would have pretty limited reasons to use it. I might pull it out for the occasional odd portrait or something but a true 180° fisheye is most often used in rap videos and at skate parks, neither of which do I often photography.
But, I am finding it a lot more useful than I originally imagined. Human vision is a funny thing. We are aware, via peripheral vision, of almost 180° of the world but we only have good focus on about 10° of out vision. Our eyes and brain see a lot but we only focus on a small sliver of that. As distorted and odd as these round images look, there is something familiar to them just because they do show the world as we see it… sort of. On a full-frame sensor camera, like the Canon 5D MKII, a 12mm fisheye like this Lensbaby optic produces a round image and much of the sensor never sees any light. The view is so wide that you have to be careful that you don’t get your feet, camera strap or elbow in the shot.
In spite of all the distortion that the lens gives, it provides a very deep depth of field even when focused very close and shot at f/4 like (the aperture I used on these shots).
There are a few drawbacks to the Lensbaby fisheye when you use it in their Composer rig. First, you have to be very careful that the image is centered properly or you end up with some of the elegant sphere getting cut off. It is also manual focus and because everything looks so small through the viewfinder, you really have to shift to Live View and digitally zoom in to focus properly. This is not a big deal if you have a little time to compose your shot but tends to preclude and “on the fly shooting.”
Anyway, it’s a fun addition to the arsenal of obscure lenses that I seem to love and fawn over. It is also a good bit cheaper than the Canon EF 8-1fmm lens f/4 L USM (which will set you back $1,400 and only stops down to f/4 while the lens baby goes to f/2). I am sure that the Auto Focus of the Canon would take a lot of the leg-work out of using an extreme fisheye and that the optics are cleaner, but I have heard reports that the clarity, when stopped down and used properly are not worth the price difference.
But, enough camera geek talk. I hope you enjoy this somewhat unusual view of Louisiana and Mississippi during the winter that I photographed yesterday on my ride back from Lake Bruin. I’m looking forward to putting this lens to more remunerative use on my next portrait assignment. All in all, highly recommended.

Macao
Guia Lighthouse
Guia Fortress, Lighthouse and Chapel: Built on the top of the highest hill in Macau peninsula (which has a walking trail with gymnastics infrastructures) is the Guia Fortress, erected in 1637 inside which is a lighthouse (1865), the first to be built in the China coast. Besides the lighthouse there is a Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Guia, decorated with beautiful frescoes recently restored. From the fortress the visitor can visit the whole city and the Pearl River. It is an extremely calm spot ideal for photos, with a coffee shop selling soft drinks and coffee. Moreover it is here that the typhoon signals are hoisted in order to inform the population that the tropical storm is approaching.
The Guia Complex, which includes a historical military fort, chapel and lighthouse, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The fort and chapel were constructed between 1622 and 1638. The lighthouse was constructed between 1864 and 1865, the first western style lighthouse in east Asia or on the China coast.
In October 2006, the Macau Government announced a gigantic construction project which includes a new home for Beijing’s Liaison Office. With such construction plan, Macau’s signature lighthouse will be hidden from large portions of the city, and, perhaps the harbour.
The project at the foot of Macau’s Guia Hill comprises a 135 metre tall tower, a 99.12 metre tower, with other tall buildings in a line spanning some 300 metres, while the Guia Hill is only 91 metres in height.
The height of Beijing’s Liaison Office (99.12 metres) is designed to commemorate December 1999, the year of Macau’s return to Chinese sovereignty. The building is already under construction and will be complete next December to commemorate the eighth anniversary of Macau’s handover.
The Association for the Protection of Macau’s Historical and Cultural Heritage warned the Macau government that if the high-rise buildings turned out to block the view of the Guia Lighthouse, it would upset the feelings of many residents.
Earlier in 2006, the Macau government uplifted two decrees that stipulated maximum construction heights in that area. The Land, Public Works and Transportation Office said the revocation stemmed from “the need to modernize the legislation, already 15 years old and completely outdated, out of touch with the gambling sector development and the increasing need for building sites”. Since 2006 summer, there have been a few heritage disputes in Macau. Activists have been fighting against a building plan that threatened to block the sea view from the A-Ma Temple, a World Heritage site honoring the goddess of seafarers and protesting against a government plan to demolish the Little Blue House - a historic mansion that isn’t on the World Heritage list.
According to the Macau Post Daily (January 10, 2007), heritage management expert, Mr. Imon, stressed that the UNESCO in Paris has a so-called World Heritage in Danger List that comprises properties deemed by the organization to be in peril because of adverse developments in their surroundings. In case of a world-heritage property’s inclusion in the danger list, the UNESCO may issue a warning in order to urge the respective country [China in the case of Macau] to stop the damage and to remedy the situation.

Dolphins playing games in Indonesia.
With more than 40 species, dolphins are mammals closely related to whales. They vary in size from 1.2 metres (4 ft) and 40 kilograms (88 lb) (Maui's Dolphin), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and ten tonnes (the Orca or Killer Whale).
Most dolphins have acute eyesight, both in and out of the water, and their sense of hearing is superior to that of humans. Dolphins often leap above the water surface, sometimes performing acrobatic figures (e.g. the spinner dolphin).

Papua New Guinea is one of the most diverse countries on Earth, with over 850 indigenous languages and at least as many traditional societies, out of a population of just under 7 million. It is also one of the most rural, with only 18% of its people living in urban centres. The country is one of the world's least explored, culturally and geographically, and many undiscovered species of plants and animals are thought to exist in the interior of Papua New Guinea.
The capital is Port Moresby.

Best viewed large on black.
Comments welcomed. (I find this a bit blue... unsure as to how that happened, shade?)
The sun was just starting to set - staying there a bit longer may have been nicer, but I was already losing the trees below, hence the SHDR treatment. No mustard on this one, though upping saturation, contrast and blacks certainly does make it pop, it looked pretty cheesy afterward (still a landscape shot, cheesy by definition?)
So here's how I made it:
Following HDR tutorial from stuckincustoms. Hopefully it's not too noticeable.
Manfrotto tripod with stubborn 055 head. I've had it for thirteen years, and it still works, just complains under the new weight of the MeiKe MK-D300 + 8 AAs.
Nikon D300 + 50mm f1.8
No filters (the UV filter was dirty)
Mirror-up mode and remote release were used.
5 bracketed shots with manual focus and manual exposure, with speed bracketing.
Put together using Photomatrix and stuckincustoms settings, tweaked ever so slightly.
Re-imported the resulting 16bit TIFF to Adobe Lightroom after using the Photomatrix plugin, and cropped square (1:1).
Added +0.25 to the overall exposure (to make it look better on a white background that makes everything look dark).

Fatehpur Sikri (Hindi: फतेहपुर सीकरी, Urdu: فتحپور سیکری) is a city and a municipal board in Agra district in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The historical city was constructed by Mughal emperor Akbar beginning in 1570 and served as the empire's capital from 1571 until 1585. Though the court took 15 years to build, it was abandoned after only 14 years because the water supply was unable to sustain the growing population.[1] The surviving palace and mosque are a tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site itself is a ghost town.
سيدة الموانىء البحرية المهندسة لميس القاعاتي : طموحي أكون سفيرة سلام لبلدي سوريا
حاورها: محمد كريزم - دبي - خاص بـ " وكالة أخبار المرأة "
wonews.net/ar/index.php?act=post&id=11402
سورية الأصل والإنتماء، إماراتية الولاء والعشق، راكمت من الأعمال والإبداعات ما جعلها ترتقي لأعلى الدرجات العلمية وتتبوأ أهم المسميات الوظيفية حتى أصبحت مشعلاً وضاءاُ تنير الدروب التي تسلكها، عقلها مع عملها الذي تتميز وتبدع به عن الأخرين، وقلبها مع بلدها " سوريا "، تتنقل عبر الموانىء البحرية العربية والعالمية، وتحرص على حضور المؤتمرات العالمية، وتساهم في الحراك الإجتماعي نحو الأفضل، تناصر المرأة العربية وتساند قضاياها في كافة المحافل الدولية، لديها من قوة الشخصية والتأثير ما يؤهلها لتكون سفيرة السلام والمرأة.
هي سيدة الأعمال ، المهندسة السورية لميس القاعاتي، عضو مجلس سيدأت أعمال الإمارات، ومؤسسة منظمة مجتمع سيدات سوريا " سيريان لايديز " وتدير أعمالها من دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة التي شهدت ميلادها، والتي أسست على أرضها كيان إقتصادي خاص بها.
" وكالة أخبار المرأة " حاورت سيدة الأعمال لميس القاعاتي، وفيما يلي نصه:
* بطاقة تعريفية لسيدة الأعمال المهندسة لميس القاعاتي؟
- من مواليد أبوظبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة ، سورية الأصل. استكملت دراستي الثانوية في الإمارات ثم انتقلت لمونتريال كندا في عمر 17 سنة لاستكمال الدراسة الجامعية و حزت على شهادة البكالوريوس في هندسة الكهرباء من جامعة ماجيل McGill الكندية و التي تعتبرمن الجامعات الرائدة عالميا. قضيت عشر سنوات في كندا بين العلم و العمل و حصلت على الجواز الكندي و عشت في بريطانيا 3 سنوات مع العائلة.
عملت مع شركة كندية في مجال الهندسة الإلكترونية ثم مع شركة فنلندية متخصصة في مجال خدمة الموانىء البحرية. و بعد ذلك أسست كيان اقتصادي على أرض الإمارات و أعمل حاليا كمديرة المبيعات الإقليمية و شريكة في شركة فيركات للمعدات الثقيلة و مناولة الحاويات والرافعات الشوكية المستخدمة في الموانىء البحرية و المصانع.
زرت معظم الموانىء البحرية في الشرق الأوسط لاسيما مصر وكنت أول سيدة عربية تزور ميناء صلالة البحري في عمان. شاركت في كثير من المعارض في مجال الموانىء في الصين و البلقان و أفريقيا و أوروبا وأمريكا. عضوة في مجلس سيدات أعمال الإمارات و شاركت في أول وفد تجاري الى جمهورية الجبل الأسود بحضور صاحب السمو الشيخ عبدلله بن زايد وزيرخارجية الإمارات و في جولات إقتصادية أخرى منظمة من مجالس سيدات أعمال الإمارات و العرب و غرف التجارة و الصناعة.
على الصعيد الإجتماعي كنت وراء فكرة تأسيس منظمة مجتمع سيدات سوريا " السيريان لايديز" الذي يختص بتبادل الخبرات و الموارد بين العضوات و يساهم في تدعيم المرأة و تمكينها في مشاريعها الريادية و جمع السيدات السوريات تحت مظلة دعم المرأة على اختلاف أطيافهم و تواجهاتهم السياسية و تبادل علاقات ودية و خبرات تساهم في بناء فكر المرأة . لها رسالة للمجتمع ودعوة موجهة للمؤسسات تحت عنوان لا للعنف من المرأة للمرأة و نعم لدعم المرأة.
على الناحية السياسية أؤمن أن المصالحة الوطنية و السلام هي الطريقة الوحيدة للأمام في سوريا.
وأنا متزوجة و أم لولدين وأتحمل مسؤؤليتهم في التربية و إدارة المنزل.
أؤمن بضرورة استقلال المرأة ماديا لتستطيع اثبات ذاتها و ذلك لا يأتي إلا بالجهد و العمل.
* هل لديك رؤية لصيغة حل لإنهاء الصراع في سوريا؟ وما هي أبرز نقاطه أو محاوره؟
- أرى أن الحل في سوريا هو السلام لأن سوريا فوق الجميع. أبرز نقاطه/ محاوره :
في الداخل السوري: المصالحة الوطنية بين الحكومة ورموز المعارضة ورموز الشعب و الشعب. الوحدة الوطنية و الجلوس على طاولة الحوار الهادف لرسم خطة تعمل على إعادة إصلاح العلاقات السورية السورية لوضع و صياغة و تطبيق خطة محكمة لقهر الإرهاب على يد حماة الديار الجيش العربي السوري. وإعادة اعمار سوريا سوريا الأمل بالمشاركة بين الجميع جيش و قيادة و شعب.
الخارج السوري: التعاون مع الدول الكبرى لمحاربة الإرهاب الذي بات يهدد مصالح جميع هذه الدول. وإعادة الإعمار في سوريا من خلال اجتذاب اللإستثمارات و الخبرات من الدول الصديقة. إعادة ترميم العلاقات السورية العربية بهدف إحداث السلام في المنطقة و حماية و تنمية إقتصاد الوطن العربي.
* بإعتقادك ما هي أفضل السبل الممكنة للتخفيف من معاناة المرأة السورية في معسكرات اللجوء والنزوح المنتشرة في عدة بلدان؟
- لن ينهي هذه المعاناة إلا توفير و تيسير السبل لعودة السوريات من مخيمات اللجوء إلى حضن الوطن
من هذه السبل :
في الداخل السوري: بناء مساكن إيواء للنساء اللواتي فقدن بيوتهن بسبب الأزمة والحرب.
توفير ورشات توعية تساعد هذه السيدات على التخلص من أثار ثقافة الدم لمساعدتها نفسيا و معنويا وحماية جيل المستقبل من مخلفات الحقد.
إشراكهن في مشاريع مستدامة ليكونوا جزء فاعل و منتج لرفع اقتصاد الدولة
و دعمهن في مجال التعليم المجاني و الطبابة و العلاج.
* ما تعليقك على ما يتم تداوله في وسائل الإعلام العربية حول النساء السوريات اللاجئات لاسيما زواج القاصرات منهن في البلدان المتواجدة فيها؟
- أستنكر هذا الفعل المشين بحق الإنسانية و المرأة والأم ،وأرى فيه إجحاف و إنتقاص من قيمة المرأة العربية و ظلم و استغلال للمرأة السورية.
* بصفتك سيدة أعمال وتواكبي أخر التطورات والمستجدات في مجال الأعمال الحرة، هل تعتقدين أن هذا المجال يمنح الفرصة الكافية للمرأة في العمل والمنافسة والمساواة الكاملة؟ أم أن الأمر خلاف ذلك؟
- في مجال التجارة و الأعمال هناك مساواة كاملة و المعوقات محدودة و الفرصة في هذا المجال تصنعها المرأة نفسها من خلال رسم خطة مدروسة لمسارها على صعيد العمل و الذي يبدأ بالعلم ثم اكتساب الخبرات من خلال العمل و تطوير الذات لجعلها مؤهلة لإدارة الأعمال و الشركات.
* كثيرا من سيدات الأعمال العربيات تعاني من قيود القوانين السائدة والإقصاء والتهميش في بلادهن، حسب رأيك هل حان الوقت لتشكيل تحالفات إقتصادية ومالية نسائية لتجاوز هذه العقبات والإشكاليات؟
- لا أعرف بالضبط ماذا تعني بتحالفات اقتصادية نسائية ؟! و لكن أجيبك أن
لا ينحصر التهميش على سيدات الأعمال فقط وإنما هو يشمل المرأة العربية عامة فهي مقيدة بتقاليد وعادات و مسؤؤليات الإنجاب و الزواج و إدارة المنزل....الخ. والقوانين العربية لم تنصفها و تدعمها في مجالات كثيرة للتمكن من القيام بمسؤؤلياتها و العمل معاً بتوازي. مثال على ذلك الفترة ما بعد الولادة و العودة للعمل أو مناصرتها ضد التحرش الذي تتعرض له المرأة خلال العمل و كثير من المعوقات المشابهة التي تثبط من المرأة و طموحها.
بالتأكيد وجود مجالس وجمعيات نسائية للحوار و تبادل الخبرات يساعد على تقدم المرأة في مجال الأعمال.على سبيل المثال من مهام مجالس سيدات الأعمال تطوير العلاقات مع البنوك و ذلك لدعم العضوات و تيسير السبل لهن في مجالات الإستثمار ومنح القروض لبدء مشاريعهن وأعمالهن. ربط سيدات الأعمال بغرف التجارة و الصناعة وإعطاءهن فرصة متساوية للمشاركة بالجولات الإقتصادية و البعثات التجارية للبحث عن فرص واعدة. و فتح مجالات جديدة في سوق العمل تناسب المرأة و مؤهلاتها.
* هل هناك فروق ما بين مسميات رائدة الأعمال وسيدة الأعمال وصاحبة الأعمال؟ وما هو تعريفك الشخصي لسيدة الأعمال؟
- نعم هناك فروق. صاحبة الأعمال هي سيدة تستثمر أموالها بأسهم في مشاريع و لكن لا تديرها و لا تكون جزء في بناء أو تطوير الشركة او المؤسسة. سيدة الأعمال هي سيدة تبوأت منصب إداري إما بصعود السلم الوظيفي أو بتأسيس شركة و هي تتحمل مسؤؤلية مباشرة في إدارة المشاريع أو الشركة و مشاركتها تكون لها تأثير مباشرعلى الناتج الربحي لهذه الشركة. رائدة الأعمال هي سيدة ذو فكرة متطورة جديدة خلاقة تتشارك فيها مع مسثمرين أو تبنيها بنفسها من الصفر.
* ما هي أكثر المجالات إستثماراَ لسيدات الأعمال العربيات بشكل عام والسوريات على وجه الخصوص؟
- أكثر المجالات استثمارا لسيدات الأعمال أرتبها كالتالي العقار و سندات الإستثمار و سوق الذهب ثم الأسهم. بالنسبة للسوريات أعتقد أن الإستثمار بالمشاريع الصغيرة قبل الأزمة أما بعد الأزمة الإسنثمار أعتقد أنه العقار.
* رغم القدرات المالية الهائلة لدى سيدات أعمال الخليج وقوة حضورهن الاقتصادي لكن لم يتم ترجمة قوتهن وتسييلها بإتجاه تقوية حضورهن السياسي وفتح أفق جديدة لمشاركة أوسع في المجالات الأخرى وتعزيز مبدأ المساواة والعدالة الاجتماعية ، ما تعليقك على ذلك؟
- أشيد بالقيادات الخليجية الرائدة و بالأخص الإماراتية. هذه القيادات الحكيمة ساهموا واستثمروا في بناء المرأة الخليجية و كرسوا المال و الجهد للنهوض بفكرها و دعمها بفرص التعليم المتطورة و فرص العمل و التدريب الواعدة على مدى العشرين سنة الماضية حتى أصبحت المرأة الخليجية تتبوأ مناصب إدارية و قيادية و باتت لامعة في مجالات الأعمال و المحافل الدولية. أما في مجال حقوق المرأة و السياسة فلا زال أمامها الكثير من العقبات وأولها مدى أن تكون مؤهلة و أضيف أن هذه خطوة لا تأتي إلا بعد أجيال من التطور الفكري و الحضاري للمرأة و لكن لا ننسى أن هناك حالات اسثنائية لسيدات مبدعات خليجيات برزن في مناصب في وزارة الخارجية و البرلمان وهن رمز لكل امرأة طموحة. من ناحية هي مؤهلة و من ناحية أخرى لولا دعم الرجل القيادي لها و إتاحة الفرصة المتساوية برحابة صدر لما تبوأت هذه المناصب.
* حاليا تقاس قوة تحضر الدول بمدى صونها وإحترامها للمرأة وتعزيز وتقوية مكانتها في كافة المجالات والميادين بخلاف ما تتم ممارسته في الدول العربية، ما تعقيبك على ذلك؟
- عندما ينشغل فكرالإنسان باحترام الإنسان و مناصرته في حقوقه و بناء الجمعيات و المؤسسات الإجتماعية الغير ربحية التي تنمي المجتمع والمرأة فهذا يكون مقياس على مدى تطور فكر الفرد و المجتمع و مدى استقرار الدولة اقتصاديا و سياسيا. وعندما تبني مجتمع فيه المرأة و الرجل منتجين فإنك حتما تنمي الإقتصاد و ترفع من مستوى معيشة الفرد و تطور فكر المرأة الذي ترضعه للأجيال القادمة فينشأ جيل متطور.
* هل لديك طموحات شخصية لتكوني قيادية سياسية ويكون لديك دور في المرحلة المقبلة؟
- أتمنى أن أكون سفيرة للسلام و المرأة لوطني سوريا و المساهمة في إعادة بناء و توطيد العلاقات السورية السورية، و السورية العربية والأجنبية.
* كلمتك الأخيرة لقراء ومتابعي " وكالة أخبار المرأة "؟
- شكرا لمديرعام وكالة أخبار المرأة الإعلامي محمد كريزم ولوكالة أخبار المرأة للمشاركة في تدعيم المرأة و إلقاء الضوء على فكرها ليصل إلى عدد أكبر من فئات المجتمع. و أختتم حواري هذا بشعار نعم لدعم المرأة.

Lo sexy se lleva y pocas son las famosas que se resisten a mostrar todo lo que pueden en cuanto pueden. Los vestidos pueden ser de todo tipo, pero sus mejores atributos deben quedar a la vista: los photocalls se han convertido en un baile de escotes vertiginosos, piernas y culos. Vende la foto de la que más muestre. Y la fiesta de Fashion Rocks en Nueva York es una muestra más de ello.
Lo de Jennifer López es un clásico: un vestido negro de Atelier Versace con el que mostrar la pierna y un escote hasta el ombligo. Está estupenda a sus cuarenta y tantos, pero no hace falta demostrarlo todo el rato.
Bella Thorne apuesta por la pose Pataky para destacar su trasero bien ceñido. El vestido verde satén con escote corazón es precioso y ese es el color que mejor queda a las pelirrojas, para mi gusto.
Desde luego, no sorprende Nicki Minaj con un vestido negro cortísimo con escote que deja poco a la imaginación. Cuando se provoca todo el rato al final dejas de sorprender.
Rita Ora es otra que si no lo enseña todo parece que no existe. Esta vez son las transparencias de su Stéphane Rolland Couture las que dejan las piernas al descubierto, aunque por lo demás el vestido es bastante tapadito para lo que suele llevar. Otra más que se apunta al negro.
Y terminamos el repaso a las famosas que asistieron a la gala Fashion Rocks con La diosa Naomi Campbell, que se decidió por un discreto vestido con hombro asimétrico en blanco y plata.

.
I was reminded by a good friend of mine of Chris Killip's work which is being exhibited in France just now. This my more recent take (2009) in terms of time but some things don't seem to change that much.
Chris Killip's book is just as valid today: "When I first saw the beach at Lynemouth in January 1976, I recognized the industry above it but nothing else I was seeing. The beach beneath me was full of activity with horses and carts backed into the sea. Men were standing in the sea next to the carts, using small wire nets attached to poles to fish out the coal from the water beneath them. The place confounded time; here the Middle Ages and the twentieth century intertwined. Chris Killip began photographing the people of Lynemouth seacoal beach in the north east of England in 1982, after nearly seven years of failed efforts to obtain their consent. During 1983 to 1984 he lived in a caravan on the seacoal camp, and documented the life, work and the struggle to survive on the beach, using his unflinching style of objective documentation. Fifty, of the one hundred and twenty four images published here, were first shown in 1984 at the Side Gallery in Newcastle and others were an important element of Killips ground-breaking and legendary book In Flagrante, published four years later. Chris Killip, born on the Isle of Man in 1946, is a Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University where he has taught since 1991. His works are held in the permanent collections of, among others: Museum of Modern Art, New York; George Eastman House; Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco; Museum Folkwang, Essen; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. His books include In Flagrante (1988), Pirelli Work (2007), and Here Comes Everybody (2009)." Quoted from Amazon

ENGLISH
The reclaimed wetlands of the river Foix estuary have made this area into one of the main attractions of the town. The River Foix, which is dry during most of the year due to construction of the Foix Resservoir is another of the most emblematic places in Cubelles. At the Foix estuary, you can spend the day enjoying nature and birthwatching, or at one of the picnic areas. This zone is also intended for school visits, as it is a place where children can study the ecosystem of a Mediterranean river such as the Foix.
The estuary is separated from the sea by a sand barrier which has accumulated over time, due to sea currents and rainwater sediments, forming freshwater laguens behind the barrier. The natural area of the Foix Delta has a branch of land that sticks out into the sea. This was formed during the floods of 1994 and joins onto another branch, leaving an island in the middle. Tourists can visit the island by crossing a wooden footbridge.

CASTELLANO
La recuperación de los espacios húmedos de la desembocadura del río Foix ha convertido la zona en una de las de mayor atractivo del municipio. El río Foix -que desde la construcción del pantano del Foix está la mayor parte del año seco- es otro de los elementos más emblemáticos de los cubellenses. En la desembocadura del Foix, además de poder pasar un día rodeado de la Naturaleza, se puede observar el comportamiento de las aves autóctonas de esta zona o disfrutar de las áreas de picnic. El espacio también está dirigido a las escuelas, que pueden visitar y estudiar el ecosistema de un río mediterráneo, como es el del Foix.
Su desembocadura está separada del mar por una barrera de arena acumulada por las corrientes marítimas y los depósitos pluviales, formando lagunas de agua dulce en su interior. El Espacio Natural del Delta del Foix, mantiene el brazo de salida al mar que se formó por las riadas de 1994, a la que se ha añadido un segundo brazo dejando una isla en el medio, conectada con la zona de entretenimiento a través de unas pasarelas de madera. Otra pasarela de madera sobre uno de los brazos del río, sirve de punto de observación del desarrollo natural de la desembocadura del Foix.

Enid: So... what you have to do is to go to her home with a gigantic bouquet of roses, one of those passion red, catch her at her waist and give her the kiss of her life, one of those slow and firm ones that make you loose your sense and your underwear. God... it's soooo romantic... That's what girls like! *___* We don't like undecided boys, you better know it ¬¬
Shin: O__O
Nobu: O__O Can we know who the hell invited you to take part in this conversation? This is private... ^_^u

Nobu: Shut up! XD Didn't you have clothes to try on?

Enid: Vamos a ver... Tu lo que tienes que hacer es plantarte en su casa con un ramo de rosas enorme, de esas color rojo passión, cogerla de la cintura y darle el beso de su vida, de esos lentos y firmes con los que solo el beso ya se te caen las bragas al suelo. Ainsss... que romántico... Eso sí que nos gusta a las chicas! *___* Los tíos indecisos no nos van, que lo sepas. ¬¬

Located in southwestern Ohio, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park is a 265-acre park and outdoor museum combining the nature with art.

Hamilton attorney Harry Wilks started to build his dream house in the country, and ended up creating a nationally acclaimed sculpture park. At 80, Harry Wilks lives alone in an underground house atop a hill surrounded by woods, meadows and huge sculptures. When he drinks his morning coffee under his glass pyramid roof, he can enjoy his collection of antiquities: . . . When he climbs his two-story tower, he looks out on his 265-acres "yard" and surveys a landscape unlike any other. On a hill to the west stands "Abracadabra," a giant crimson swirl of steel set in a field of green. . . . At every turn, sculpture — in steel, bronze, stone, and wood — creates a thrilling medley of nature and art.
This is Pyramid Hill, the retired Hamilton attorney's home . . . It's also the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum, one of only five in the nation. …It all started, Wilks says, with a chain saw. "I wanted to move out of town when I retired, so I bought 40 acres out here. Then I bought a chain saw and a machete and started to clear the brush. Then I needed to hire a bulldozer to put in the roads and lakes and the bulldozer driver was a golfer, so he suggested a golf course. I built eight and a half holes of golf and I stopped." As adjacent land became available, Wilks bought as much as he could, until he had 265 acres of hilly woodland on the Great Miami River, a mile southwest of Hamilton in Butler County. "I think it was one day when we were cutting down trees that I saw a dogwood in bloom, and it was so beautiful and I thought, 'By God, I have to save this.' I began to love nature. After I built my house out here I put in the eight lakes and I already had the tennis court and the hiking trails. My friends would come to visit, and they started to offer me money for some of my land. They were offering $100,000 and $125,000 an acre. These were wealthy men. I had eight offers in four months and they totaled almost a million dollars. And I thought, 'What the heck's going to happen to all this when I die?' My two daughters have places of their own. They would have to sell it. And I thought of all the work I had put into this, building roads, acquiring more land. I had done it all myself, with no master plan, no engineers, no architects. So I stopped, in the middle of the ninth hole. I thought, 'How can I prevent this land from being sold?'"
"I see myself as the caretaker of the land while I am here," he says, "and I want this to be here for hundreds of years."

Ultima intervista a Woody Allen a Cannes
“Ve lo dico un’altra volta: non c’è felicità nella vita. Questa è sempre stata la mia prospettiva: lo penso sin da quando ero un ragazzo.
Per me la vita è un viaggio da incubo, un’esperienza molto dolorosa e non sono il primo a dirlo. Penso anche a Nietzsche, Freud o Eugene O’Neill che sostenevano la stessa cosa. Il trucco è sapere affrontare la vita mentendo spudoratamente a se stessi. Perché se si finisce col guardarla con occhi obiettivi vi rendereste conto che è intollerabile.
La cosa bella di questa città è che il clima è grigio e le estati sono fredde, il che può essere davvero utile per creare una fotografia unica per il film. Ma me ne starei comodamente nella mia amata New York se potessi trovare i finanziamenti per le mie storie. Girare in Europa costa molto meno, solo per questo continuo a farlo.
Non ci sono attori con cui aspiro tanto a lavorare, be’ mi piacerebbe dirigere Cate Blanchett o Reese Witherspoon ma non ho ancora trovato un ruolo per loro. Dipende sempre dallo script e una volta che ho creato il personaggio penso a chi posso offrirlo. Con quest’ultima pellicola sono stato molto fortunato a trovarli tutti gli attori che volevo. E tutti erano disponibili.
Non recito perché non trovo un ruolo adatto a me. Sono troppo vecchio e molti dei ruoli nei film che ho fatto sono sempre quelli di un romantico che riesce a conquistare la sua donna. Adesso non immaginate la frustrazione che provo quando recito insieme a Scarlett Johansson ed è un uomo più giovane ad averla!
Se potessi invecchiare come Manoel De Oliveira ci metterei subito la firma. Ma la mia posizione sulla morte resta sempre quella: sono profondamente contrario. E in quanto alla vecchiaia non ve la consiglio affatto! Non è che si diventa più saggi, ma è tutto un precipitare di dolore in cui ti ritrovi a vedere e sentire sempre meno e scordarti le cose in fretta.
Datemi retta, meglio essere giovani e riuscire a conquistare la vostra donna."

All over the hills of the Shan states, some small pagodas are built on the highest points of the village. This is wonderful to trek in such an environment. You can easily know where are the villages kilometers before reaching them, just look above the find out the pagodas.
As we enter this village, the kids and their mother were praying/wandering around the pagoda, but as soon as they say us ran to us trying to practice the few words of English they could speak. Such a joyful meeting.
We left some pen to the older ones, the one at the primary school only use pencils.
Wonderful meeting again, days away from the road.

But after all, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The Soligas are a tribe that inhabits the Biligirirangan and associated hill ranges in Southern Karnataka, India. Their population numbers close to 20000, although the population in and around Biligrirangan Hills is only 2000.
The word 'Soliga' means 'one who has come from within a bamboo'. The Soligas believe that their ancestors originated from the bamboo. The tribal settlement is called Podu. It consists of a group of usually 10 to 50 huts. The huts are made of bamboos and dried grass. The door is a portable bamboo frame and usually 3 feet in height.
The religion of the Soligas is the poetry of their life. They do not find God to be away or alien but feel His presence in the forest, in Nature and in every blade of grass. They revere a big Champak tree (Dodda Sampige in local tongue) in the interior forest.
"The Lord of Dodda Sampige Do protect us! The creeper that hangs over the tree Swings gently as a cradle for Thee."
Traditionally, the Soligas led a seminomadic life and subsisted on small game. Shifting cultivation, coffee and minor forest produce like honey, wild roots, tubes and fruits. Ragi is their staple food.
They are increasingly being brought to the 'main-stream' with an active Government and NGO initiative (such as VGKK). Many have been given lands closer to 'civilization' and most of the forest-dwelling population have been brought together into clusters called Podus. Nowadays their homes are being constructed with brick and with the arrival of DTH Satellite Television in the area, most houses have television sets as well!
