Kazarap y Cheo. La pasamos bien esa tarde
Estoy de cumpleaños!. Ya tengo 18. No puedo decir algunas palabras porque estoy todo stresado con las postulaciones a la Universidad. Llamando, mandando mails y todo el asunto para ver si quedo en medicina en alguna universidad. Me llegaron algunas malas y otras buenas noticias. Ojalá quede en la U.
Quiero agradecer a todos mis amigos que me saludaron hoy y a todos los flickeros que comentan mis fotos.
Feliz Navidad para todos!.
Kazarap and Cheo. Nice evening we had then.
Today it’s my birthday, I’m 18 now. I can’t say some deep words, ‘cause I’m completely freaked out with admission to universities. Calling, sending e-mails and all kind of things to see if I get to study medicine on any university. I recieved some bad and good news. I hope I can get there.
I just want to say thanks to all my friends that said Happy Birthday today and all the flickr people that comment my photos ^^.
Merry Christmas to everybody!

Francis Newton Souza, better known as F.N. Souza is the most internationally successful modern Indian artist in history. Souza was ahead of his time in terms of expanding exposure for himself and other global artists with a different, interesting, and culturally important point of view. In many ways, Souza helped paved the transition from the Euro-American centric modern art era the more globally focused contemporary art era of the post-twentieth century. He created the Bombay Progressive Artists’ Group which aimed to get Indian artist internationally recognized. He left India to study in London in 1949 after India became independent. Once in London, Souza’s art began to cultivate a significant following. He also began a prominent writer, and gained a reputation as an artist and a writer. Perhaps the most notable thing about F.N. Souza’s art was how avant guard it was. In the 1950s when Souza was coming into prominence, it was not common for any artists from outside the Western world to develop art on the cutting edge of global art trends. F.N. Souza, however, was an important exception. His style was Expressionist, but it also contained elements or British Neo-romanticism. Souza combined elements from different places, times, and schools of influences to make a signature style unique to him. His art was also famous for being highly erotic. He often painted nudes and scenes depicting sexual encounters. In addition to his famous erotic art, he also painted many churches, boats, figures, cityscapes, and portraits. Souza was a master at using color to convey a particular mood and is well known for his painting’s emotional qualities. F.N. Souza passed away in 2002. Today, he is still remembered as one of the most historically important artists of all time. By the time of his death, he was the bestselling Indian artist of all time at auction, with many paintings bringing more than $1 million. Souza has made a profound influence on the global art scene. While his art is appreciated and celebrate for its beauty, his largest historical contribution was the way in which he broke down barriers for the Non-Western art world. He paved the way for not only future Indian artists, but future artists from around the world. While the modern art movement of the twentieth century was dominated by European and American artists with minimal diversity, the post-twentieth century contemporary art scene embraces global diversity. Many art critics believe the diversity of the contemporary art era would not have been possible without Souza’s tremendous ability to broaden the international scope of the art world.

This picture I took almost a year ago. I have taken many "triplets" that evening for HDRs (see a previous one here: www.flickr.com/photos/angela_a_stanton/4250653608/in/set-... taken the same day but a bit later. The previous HDR (via the link) was developed with a painstaking process in Photomatix; the present one in 5 minutes using Nik's HDR Efex Pro. After HDR Efex Pro I used Nik's "Indian Summer" filter and then a "bi-color filter" with a bit of blue in the top and yellow in the bottom. I also used Nik's Define to reduce noise.
I think the Nik version is significantly cleaner than Photomatix version. What do you think?
Update on mom: she is recovering from surgery with a broken ankle in two places. Surgery made her a "bionic woman" for those of you old enough to recall that TV show. =)
I don;t have much time these days to do anything but take care of her so if I cannot yet visit your pictures, I apologize! I will get to see and comment eventually on all my friends' and contacts' pictures!
The pool looked so wonderful that the second Nalu entered the pool deck she dove in. It's a common, almost daily occurrence so I just let her play awhile. It was my chance to introduce her to her new water toy, Mr. Flappy. She absolutely loves him. We may just have to use him when the new Southeast FL Dock Dogs club has its Grand Opening June 19th in Dania beach. Nalu is excited over the news of a club forming only an hour away! Before the nearest clubs were 2 1/2 & 4 hours away.
In this picture you can see something she loves to do. When I get her out I always go straight for her toy, put it away and take her to the dog tub outside for a quick bath to get the chlorine out. Well when she suspects I'm getting ready to kick her out she'll start playing on the steps. She pushes the toy down with her feet until she has it pinned on the second step, she then dunks her head under to retrieve it. She also likes to take the toy to the jet right by the steps and lets the jet take the toy under and past her. She quickly turn pushes off the wall and dunks under to get it. Another of her quarks is if I leave her by herself while I'm cleaning the kitchen or working by the sliding glass door leading out to the pool deck (so I can see her) she'll actually throws the toy in herself and launches into the pool to retrieve it. I don't think I've ever seen a dog who loves the pool more, she would live in there if I let her. She may be 7 but I think she needs a turn in the field, moms fault of course!

History: The prototype of the Skyraider was first flown on 18 March 1945. Designed as a robust, multi-role attack aircraft for the US Navy, the carrier-based Skyraider was able to carry a wide variety of weapons on its numerous wing hard points. The Skyraider first saw combat in the Korean War, where its long loiter time and heavy load-hauling capability gave it a distinct utility advantage over the jet aircraft of the time.
Various versions were developed over the years; the most numerous types being: AD-1 (Initial production version with 2500hp R-3350 engine); AD-2 (Improved AD-1 with wheel-well covers and increased fuel load, etc.); AD-3 (Redesigned canopy, improved propeller, etc.); AD-4 (2700hp R-3350 engine, further canopy improvements, etc.); AD-4W (3-seat Early Warning version); AD-5 (4-seat multi-role version. Many variants of the AD-5 were capable of carrying up to 12 passengers in the rear fuselage); AD-6 (Single-seat attack version).
During the 1960s, the AD-x designations were changed to A-1D through A-1J. The A-1 series was operated with enormous success during the Vietnam War, where it was used in the Ground Attack, Forward Air Control, and Search and Rescue roles. The AD-6 and AD-7 were used by the French Armee de l'Air in Algeria.
Nicknames: Able Dog; Sandy; Spad; Hobo; Firefly; Zorro; The Big Gun; Old Faithful; Old Miscellaneous; Fat Face (AD-5 version); Guppy (AD-5W version); Q-Bird (AD-1Q/AD-5Q versions); Flying Dumptruck (A-1E); Crazy Water Buffalo (South Vietnamese nickname).

Exposición LA VIDA OCULTA DEL AGUA; en la UNED de Barbastro
Hoy con nuestro agradecimiento a Bárbara Barrera por su precioso artículo sobre diatomeas en la revista Vidriooh!
Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Peranema cuneatum tiene una forma de navegar elegante y marcha ligero bajo la superficie del agua, con su cuerpo esbelto rematado en punta, extendiendo su recto flagelo del que apenas mueve su extremo final, como indiferente a todo lo que sucede a su alrededor.
En poco se parece su actitud a la de su hermano Peranema trichophorum tan común en las aguas contaminadas y que a cada trecho se detiene para arrugarse, ensancharse y transformarse por unos momentos, para seguir después navegando como si nada hubiese pasado.
Peranema cuneatum no parece deformarse en su travesía acuática y a medida que avanza va recogiendo diminutas algas, bacterias y otros pequeños protozoos que atrapa en pequeños remolinos a pequeños bocados con esa boca casi invisible situada en la base de su flagelo.
Peranema es un primo pálido de Euglena , no depende como ella de la luz del sol para vivir, sino de todo lo que captura y palpa con su larga mano de hilo al caminar. Su elegante camisa transparente está adornada con unas finísimas estrías imperceptibles, como las que Euglena también suele vestir, pero Peranema no está relleno del fresco verde de la clorofila viva ni muestra la mancha roja de rubí con la que ella sigue al sol.
Peranema ha preferido buscar otro modo de vida y limpia el agua de los restos que otros van dejando devolviendo poco a poco su pureza.

The above collaborative diptych resulted from seeing Tina Manthorpe's photograph ("Sandstone Swirl," on right, see www.flickr.com/photos/84265607@N00/3909143298/ ) the same day that the elm tree in my front yard was cut down. It was killed by beetle invasion (Dutch Elm disease), see my post below: www.flickr.com/photos/walford/3914173910/
I was struck by how both stone and wood could have comparable ring patterns embedded in them, though those on the tree lack the incredible suggestiveness, and whirling motion of the sandstone captured so well by Tina Manthorpe.
When I proposed a collaboration, she immediately agreed, and her version is more professionally edged in black, at her request, see www.flickr.com/photos/84265607@N00/3920376902/. We agreed that I would put it up in this olive tone, which I slightly prefer, to suggest the common source in nature of these rings in such different substances.
De momento..16 cosas sobre mi....
1... nací bajo el signo de Escorpio, marcada desde entonces por un carácter peculiar que sólo los que me conocen saben como sobrellevarlo. Digamos que soy de espiritu mosqueón...
2... me agrada hacer reir a la gente. Cuando veo que alguien se lo pasa bien conmigo, creo que soy un poquito mas feliz...
3... no me gustan los perros. No quiere decir que los odio, pero no los quiero cerca mía...
4... Me gusta leer aunque ultimamente lo tenga abandonado...
5... se cocinar rico ( o por lo menos eso dicen ) y soy un desastre para casi todo los demás...
6... No me importa cortarme el pelo y me gusta llevarlo como una loca...
7... Echo demasiado de menos siempre a mi hermana porque está lejos... aunque cuando está cerca no la llamo...
8... Tengo facilidad para dejar de fumar pero no para dejar de comer...
9... Mi palabra preferida es caótica... y a veces uso palabras entendibles solo por un grupo reducido de personas (igual de locas que yo, claro ) ...
10... Soy zurda y me encanta, aunq sea una tonteria.
11... Puedo escuchar todo tipo de música sin quejarme...
12... No puedo dormir con calcetines y me dejo caer sobre el lado derecho...
13... Soy buena para escuchar, pero creo que no muy buena para dar consejos... Todo lo soluciono con besitos y achuchones...
14... Hoy por hoy, soy feliz con lo que tengo... Vivo al día pero no mal, y no soy capaz de ahorrar ni un puñetero euro...
15... Me gustan las personas educadas, odio la falta de respeto y generalmente no me callo cuando algo no me parece bien...
16... Tengo una pareja que vale millones...

Maria Waldrast (means "Maria Rest-in-the-Forest" in English) is one of the highest Convents in Europe - 1641m (5383 Ft.) Altitude. It is located in Tirol, Austria, near Matrei am Brenner. The Foundation of the Convent is based upon a Story, that says, that in the Year 1407 two Herdsmen found an Effigy of the Virgin Mother in a Tree Trunk.
It is a very popular Place of Pilgrim here in Tirol - located very solitary in the Middle of the Mountains. There is a Spring with right-turning Spa-Water - right turning Water is very seldom and really amazing to drink. You can't compare it with any other Water in the World. It's a Healing Water too, and many People come up here to fill the Water and take it home - it is drinkable for a long Time. I did the same today and also made a Prayer for my Family and some Friends.
A very calmful and contemplative Place up there.

Hoy toca el interior de la Iglesia de Santa María de Wamba, recordar que mi D60 a más de ISO 800 funciona bastante mal, así es que se hizo lo que se pudo.
La iglesia encandila, por su antigüedad y porque esos toques mozárabes mezclados con toques visigodos no se ve muy a menudo. Y mucho menos si es de origen Templario.
La iglesia de Santa María, tal y como está estructurada hoy día, cuenta con tres naves, un crucero no señalado en planta y tres capillas rectangulares en la cabecera. El crucero y la cabecera son de época mozárabe, del siglo X. Se trata de un espacio muy compartimentado, separado con pilares sencillos que soportan arcos de herradura. Uno de los pilares del lado de la Epístola conserva un capitel tallado a bisel con formas vegetales estilizadas. Algunas bóvedas son de cañón, con generatriz de herradura y otras han sido rehechas. El cuerpo de la iglesia es románico de finales del siglo XII; consta de tres naves separadas por pilares compuestos de núcleo rectangular y columnas adosadas, con capiteles de tres tipos: con motivos vegetales, con figuraciones animalísticas y monstruosas, y con representaciones historiadas, como el Pecado Original, la Gula, el Peso de las Almas y otras. Los arcos son apuntados y de rosca doblada y la cubrición es de madera. Entre las portadas destaca la de los pies, que tiene un tímpano y va protegida por un tejaroz con canecillos decorados con figuras de animales y cabezas humanas. Las tres columnas de las jambas llevan capiteles con decoración animal y vegetal y las arquivoltas se decoran con lóbulos y gruesos boceles.
En el muro del testero de la capilla mayor se conservan restos de pintura al fresco que parecen imitar la decoración de una tela oriental. Entre la imaginería que conserva la iglesia hay que destacar un Cristo en madera policromada del tercer cuarto del siglo XVI, de clara influencia berruguetesca,que se acerca a los tipos de Francisco Giralte. Entre los retablos hay que fijarse en un retablo de pintura de principios del siglo XVI, de dos cuerpos y tres calles, con una arquitectura de estilo plateresco. La tabla central representa la Epifanía, flanqueada por Santa Catalina con un donante y San Pedro y San Pablo. En el espacio homónimo se encuentra la escena del Llanto por Cristo Muerto, flanqueada por San Juan Bautista, con donantes femeninos y San Miguel, con donantes masculinos.
Pero además Wamba cuenta con dos ermitas, la del Humilladero y la de la Virgen de la Encina.
Por cierto, los que tengan fotos del osario pueden ponerlas en este hilo y así completo la serie, que me faltó esa parte por ver.

Mayorella viridis es una ameba y aunque no lleva el nombre de las amebas verdaderas, Amoeba, es tan auténtica como ellas, de las que se diferencia por sus pies -pseudópodos- triangulares que forman un borde hialino cuando Mayorella se mueve ▷.
Mayorella se reparte en todas las direcciones, como los dedos de una mano extendida y es tan parecida a otro género hermano, Dactylamoeba, que únicamente se puede distinguir de él aumentándola decenas de miles de veces para observar su superficie con detalle y esto sólo se puede conseguir con un microscopio electrónico.
Hoy no nos hará falta recurrir a más aumentos, Mayorella , lleva una marca de color, que le da el nombre. Sus lunares verdes corresponden a zooclorelas. Mayorella viridis ayuda a estas algas y ellas le devuelven el favor, es una relación de simbiosis la que de nuevo hace la vida más fácil a estos dos seres, a las algas verdes que viven protegidas en el cuerpo transparente de esta ameba y a ella que ya no tendrá que ocuparse tanto de la búsqueda de su alimento, buena parte del que fabriquen sus huéspedes, azúcares y alguna proteína, serán parte del pago de este contrato de conveniencia.
Otra mancha de color rojizo se mezcla con los lunares verdes, probablente se trate del alga acorazada, Trachelomonas, a la que Mayorella ha engullido de un bocado.
Mayorella viridis vive en las aguas dulces lagunas y turberas repartida por todo el Planeta. La que mostramos aquí, encontrada hoy mismo, procede de una laguna, la Laguna Media, situada en las inmediaciones de Pumarejo de Tera, al norte de la provincia de Zamora y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Ordination of Deacons service at Manchester Cathedral, Manchester. Picture by Paul Heyes, Sunday June 30, 2019.
Several staff members from Moberly Correctional Center (MO), a Corizon facility, recently attended a healthy woman dinner and presentation by Elizabeth Smart. You may remember the Elizabeth Smart name from one of the most publicized and well-known child abduction cases of our time.
Elizabeth presented, and shared insight, into overcoming adversity in a traumatic situation. Employees, who were thrilled to meet and talk with Elizabeth, said her story was heart wrenching, but also eye-opening and inspiring.
The dinner and program were held at the Moberly Area Community College and staff members went as representatives of Corizon. With over 800 attendees, this was a great way to get out and support an area event and participate as a community partner.
Corizon’s mission is to be the world’s foremost provider of correctional healthcare. But along the way, we want to be effective and impactful members of the communities we call home. It starts with our employees. Their compassionate hearts find numerous ways to contribute to a number of programs, charities and other initiatives.

The following information regarding St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio) is from Catholic Online: www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=311
Francesco, named in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, was born to Giuseppa and Grazio Forgione, peasant farmers, in the small Italian village of Pietrelcina on May 25, 1887. From his childhood, it was evident that he was a special child of God. Francesco was very devout even as a child, and at an early age felt drawn to the priesthood. He became a Capuchin novice at the age of sixteen and received the habit in 1902. Francesco was ordained to the priesthood in 1910 after seven years of study and became known as Padre Pio.
On September 20, 1918, Padre Pio was kneeling in front of a large crucifix when he received the visible marks of the crucifixion, making him the first stigmatized priest in the history of Church. The doctor who examined Padre Pio could not find any natural cause for the wounds. Upon his death in 1968, the wounds were no longer visible. In fact, there was no scaring and the skin was completely renewed. He had predicted 50 years prior that upon his death the wounds would heal. The wounds of the stigmata were not the only mystical phenomenon experienced by Padre Pio.
The blood from the stigmata had an odor described by many as similar to that of perfume or flowers, and the gift of bilocation was attributed to him. Padre Pio had the ability to read the hearts of the penitents who flocked to him for confession which he heard for ten or twelve hours per day. Padre Pio used the confessional to bring both sinners and devout souls closer to God; he would know just the right word of counsel or encouragement that was needed. Even before his death, people spoke to Padre Pio about his possible canonization. He died on September 23, 1968 at the age of eighty-one. His funeral was attended by about 100,000 people.
On June 16, 2002, over 500,000 Padre Pio devotees gathered in Rome to witness Pope John Paul II proclaim Padre Pio, Saint Pio of Pietrelcina. The Padre Pio Foundation and many benefactors traveled to Rome, San Giovanni Rotondo, Pietrelcina, Piana Romana and many other holy places to celebrate Padre Pio's Canonization.
The sculpture of Padre Pio was photographed at the National Blue Army Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima. The shrine is located in Washington, NJ, on the grounds of the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA.

Every morning this little bird sings in the balcony of my apartment, which is in the sixth floor...
Todos os dias, pelas manhãs, por volta das 7 horas, esse bem-te-vi pousa no parapeito de minha varanda. Especialmente naqueles dias em que sou - como todos nós - acometido de ondas de tristeza, ele me reestabelece o humor e dá uma alegria toda especial, com seu divertido e repetido canto...
Para ele, dedico esse poema de Pedro Salinas:
Soy feliz en un trino
tembloroso de pájaro
que alguien mandó bajar
hasta este desamparo
a decir que se vuelve
con los ojos cerrados,
sin moverse, siguiéndole
a aquel mundo perdido
donde hubo tanto canto.
Soy feliz por el verde
tierno que está apuntando
en esas hojas nuevas,
las que tanto tardaron,
sin que desesperarse,
ni en las nieves más blancas,
de esperarlas, el árbol.
Fe, se la dio el recuerdo:
en la oscura memoria
de frondas que pasaron
futuros se sentían
de innumerables mayos.
Soy feliz en el aire,
dejándome en sus brazos
volar donde ellos vuelen
a sus rumbos, sin clave,
mejores que mis pasos.
Me ciñen, me arrebatan
sin sentir casi. Porque
el aire lleva al colmo
las ternuras del tacto.
Y tan puro es su cuerpo
que al mayor arrebato
en que su amor me envuelve
es igual al descanso.
Soy feliz en la luz,
en luz enajenado.
Huyo, salgo de mí,
entro en ella y me aclaro.
Tan dorada dulzura
abejas misteriosas,
que están al otro lado
del día, en las colmenas
nocturnas, la fabrican,
libando en los jardines
de los luceros altos.
No quiero ser dichoso,
caricias, con mis manos.
No quiero ser feliz
en besos, en los labios,
sin cesar inventores
de espléndidos engaños:
ni con el alma casi
quisiera. Hay almas torpes.
Ahora voy retirándome
ya de mí, hacia vosotros,
inevitables sabios
del aire, por el aire.
Feliz seré mirando
alas felicidades
que susurran, que vuelan
de la rama y del pájaro,
lentamente olvidado
de mí, ya sin memoria.
Feliz por los caminos
que cerrados tenia
y me abren los vilanos.
Lo que yo no acerté
otros me lo acertaron.
I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with.
-Kelly Clarkson
Butterfly 2: Hatred. Anger is a fragile thing and often affects other people. Parents, especially. Some are abusive to their children, and that abuse comes in various forms. Physical, emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse are all real and are all painful in their own ways. Families have bricks, walls, barriers. Kids try to break them down, try to change things, try to make them better. Sometimes they cannot be broken. Sometimes things cannot be changed. There is a abusive side to everyone.
Tamana cave is a cave system located on the northern slope of Mount Tamana in eastern Trinidad. Mount Tamana is a 307-metre flat topped hill of Miocene Guaracara Limestone of the Tamana Formation in the eastern Central Range.
We went up one evening a few hours before dusk (sun set about 630pm). Whilst it was still light we went into the cave. The humidity down there was very bad and I felt faint after a while and had to come back up to get some fresh air and water. I was rather dizzy and had a little seat on a tree root for a while :)
Once the sun started going down the first bats flew out and after a while it was like a bat tornado. I think there is about 8 different species of bats throughout the cave and well over 1 million bats!!!
It was an amazing experience. Most of us wanted to stay all night, but waiting for over 1 million bats to come out might have taken a while :P
This is one of the best shots I got. The bats were very fast, and it was dark so I had to just flash and click away and I guess this shot was lucky :)

I just ran out to our garden to take a couple of shots with a new toy... I do all of my macro photography with a Canon 500D close-up lens attached to my Nikkor 18-200mm VR zoom lens.
I bought another 500D to fit my 50mm f1.4 lens and it arrived today... I just had to try it out!!!
(If you are unfamiliar with the Canon 500D... it is a diopter lens that attachs to the front of a regular lens using the threads that a lens filter screws into. I love using it... enough to get one in a different diameter so that I could use my really fast 50mm lens for close-up work too).
A HOT DAY IN TUCSON:
To escape the heat of 110+ degrees in the valley in Tucson, Arizona, on June 17, 2007 we drove up to the nearly 8,000 ft. elevation of Mount Lemon, where the temperature plumeted to 78 in the 40 minutes it took to drive to the top. This is a photo I took at Windy Vista Point about halfway up the mountain. You can see the road we traveled up through the mountains, and in the far distance the city of Tucson. It was a spectacular view at Windy Vista Point for we could see the city of Tucson sprawled out in the valley below, and the mountains of Sonora, Mexico in the far distance.
I lived south of Tucson from 1984 until 1999 (in Green Valley, Amado and Sahuarita) and worked in Nogales and Tucson for several years before moving to Washington DC. This photo was taken on my the first trip back to Tucson in over 8 years... it sure was sure nice to see the "old pueblo" again and the beauty of the desert, mountains and wide open spaces of the beautiful State of Arizona.
INFORMATION ON MOUNT LEMMON:
Mount Lemmon is in the Santa Catalina Mountains located in the Coronado National Forest north of Tucson, AZ. It is 9,157 feet above sea-level, and receives approximately 180 inches of snow annually. Mount Lemmon was named in honor of Sarah Lemmon, wife of botanist John Gill Lemmon, who trekked to the top of the mountain with her husband in 1881.
A small town called Summerhaven is on the mountain, which includes many cabins only occupied part of the year. Much of this town was devastated by the Aspen Fire of 2003, and recovery is still taking place. It is near Ski Valley which is the southernmost ski destination in the continental United States.
The location 'Windy Point' was built by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, using a large number of prisoners over a period of 18 years.
The Catalina Highway goes from the east side of Tucson up to Summerhaven, at the top of Mt. Lemmon. The beautiful, curving road is a favorite drive for tourists, for locals escaping summer's heat, for motorcyclists, and cyclists. The highway has been improved recently, but the speed limit has also been lowered to 35 MPH (56 km/h) due to concerns about the highway's safety during peak traffic times.

Le rêve-et-là-teur
Notre pensée cherche des révélations. Elle rêve de bas en haut et non de haut en bas. L’homme ne saurait prétendre de voir et de rêver le monde vu du ciel. Si observer le monde d’en haut constitue en soi le privilège de quelques-uns, par le biais de machines volantes ou de résurrections célestes, je préfère alors le regard naïf et spontané de l’ingénu, nu de toute suffisance d’images et de figures imposées par l’arbitraire de quelques censeurs. À la convocation d’images maintes fois rééditées, je préfère la production d’images en contre-plongée, issue de la liberté et du désir de voir et d’interpréter. « N’est-ce pas plutôt un encombrement pour la pensée qui, ainsi toute peuplée de figures d’emprunt, ne dispose plus d’aucun champ où tracer elle-même des figures ? » 1.
Ici, devant cette photographie, vue et capturée d’en bas, je vois à travers des yeux affranchis, les contours, les flous et les perspectives d’un instant. Cavité de notre pensée, la tête s’incline spontanément en direction de la voûte atmosphérique, couvercle de ce paysage ramifié de reflets et de béton. Un monde vu d’en bas qui révèle ici un ciel autant impénétrable que profond, autant support de formes qui nous font sens que support de d’ouvertures et de projections. L’extrême simplicité et même primitivisme de ce regard photographique nous donne à voir l’expression d’une posture tendue vers la toiture de ses rêves, la tentative d’une offrande sans destinataire, pleine d’aspirations et d’inspirations. Dans sa poésie Jean Cocteau écrivait :
Le ciel a ses étoiles,
La terre ses bordels.
Cri du Christ déchirez le voile.
Jésus couronné de cris d’hirondelles,
Apparaissez tonnez dans votre magnésium ;
Incendiez la presse et prenez loin de l’homme
Ma photographie éternelle.
Utopies, rêves et échappées, provoquent la part de l’invisible et de sublime du visage de notre commun. Une illusion me diront quelques uns. Mais si l’illusion n’est que duperie de la réalité de notre monde bien pensant, je lui donnerais mille fois raison, car elle est nécessitée pour continuer produire des images vues de la terre, les seules qui expriment les mirages, l’espérance de voir plus loin. Modeste et candide, en quête de nouveaux sens, notre regard tourné vers le ciel est rêve-et-là-teur.

took several shots from the sidewalk. there was a crowd of indian people chatting to the right of me. so i got this view - sewer on my shot.. wasn't trying to be prejudice by saying "indian people". i could tell they were - maybe pakistani - who knows. women wore their nice dresses or wrap. they were just loud! and i didn't understand what they were speaking....
"look at this idiot here trying to take a pic of the sewer!. ha - hah...." (translated in english) - one indian or pakistani man probably said to his friends and family....
lol.... who knows what they said about me..
my family were taking a walk & when they say me they thought i was part of them... they were laughing. "we can't tell if that was you. lol", they said.... (it's my dark skin) it was funny...
but i wish i was on the other side though after looking @ my pics....... it's crappy..
bad or good - all comments are welcome.....
Las mecánicas de la representación teatral y los desafíos que encaran actores y directores son los temas que toca "Estado de ira", la obra de Ciro Zorzoli que se presentará desde el 20 de agosto en el teatro Sarmiento.
La trama del espectáculo transcurre en una supuesta dependencia pública en las afueras de la ciudad, donde un grupo de empleados se dedican a instruir a actores y actrices de reemplazo para las obras que están en cartel en los teatros del centro.
En la noche que transcurre la pieza deberán preparar a una actriz para que cubra el rol de Hedda Gabler, de la obra homónima de Henrik Ibsen, de acuerdo a las normas vigentes.
Paola Barrientos, Diego Velázquez, María Inés Sancerni, Carlos Defeo, Diego Rosental, Vanesa Maja, Gabriel Urbani, Dalila Romero, Cecilia Meijide, Marina Fantini y Pablo Castronovo integrarán el elenco de la obra, que tendrá iluminación de Eli Sirlin y escenografia y vestuario de Oria Puppo.
"Estado de ira" se presentará de jueves a domigos a las 21 en la sala de Avenida Sarmiento 2715.

Independence Day celebrations held in Christchurch, July 4 2011.

A Christchurch Fourth
U.S. Embassy Wellington celebrated a special Fourth of July in Christchurch, where Ambassador David Huebner honored seven New Zealanders for the courage and commitment they had shown helping evacuate a large American delegation in the immediate aftermath of the devastating February 22 earthquake.
About 150 guests attended the ceremony, designed to show solidarity with the struggling city and to signal that Christchurch is open for business. Minister of Conservation Kate Wilkinson thanked Ambassador Huebner for hosting the event and giving Cantabrians a semblance of normality by having something to celebrate. The event was hosted in the northwest of the city in one of the few locations still able to cater to a larger party.
A large delegation of U.S. government leaders, businesspeople, and academics was in Christchurch for the U.S.-New Zealand Partnership Forum on February 22, 2011. The delegation was spread throughout the city when the earthquake struck. In the chaotic aftermath it became imperative to locate, gather, and evacuate the delegation -- something that would have been simply impossible without the dedicated courage of many, many people.
"The stoic professionalism of so many in the face of so much ensured that our American visitors were superbly looked after that day," Ambassador Huebner said.
"It was for that reason, and to acknowledge that Christchurch is still functional and open for business, that we decided to hold an Independence Day ceremony in Christchurch," Ambassador Huebner said. "We wanted not only to thank everyone involved that day, but to underscore the long and deep friendship between the United States and the people of New Zealand in general and Christchurch in particular."
Canterbury has suffered thousands of aftershocks in recent months and two large ones in mid-June that further rattled the nerves of its citizens and damaged many more buildings.
Honored by the Ambassador were bus drivers who stuck with their vehicles and transported Americans back to safety at the U.S. Antarctic Center, members of the Royal New Zealand Air Force who assisted with the evacuations, and a local senior constable from the New Zealand Police who remained with U.S. Embassy staff who performed American Citizen services in the week after the earthquake.
The Very Rev. Peter Beck, dean of the now-crumbled Christ Church Cathedral, thanked Ambassador Huebner for what he described as a "very moving" event. He pointed out that the last formal service at the Cathedral, the iconic heart of the city, had been on the evening before the opening of the U.S.-New Zealand Partnership, which many members of both delegations attended.
Cited for their "unwavering courage and commitment" with the American Ambassador's Exemplary Service award were: Simon McKenzie, driver, Leopard Coach; John Goldie, driver, VIP Transport, Visits and Ceremonial Office; Heather Caspersen, driver, VIP Transport, Visits and Ceremonial Office; Flight Lieutenant Vaughn Jones, RNZAF; Warrant Officer Warren Tyndall, RNZAF; Squadron Leader Andy Scott, RNZAF; and Senior Constable Thomas "Blue" Young, New Zealand Police.

صبيته على الطبقة الاولى اللي اكون ناثرة عليها المكسرات
+
الافضل يكون الكراميل سايل كويس عشان يتوزع لك على كل الصينية
"La solitude est une condition nécessaire de la liberté" 2005.
Exposition "Portrait au Palazzo Madama" de Turin, une série de portraits, de portraits vidéo que l'on sent palpiter sous notre regard, portraits disséminés au milieu des tableaux et des oeuvres permanentes du musée. Une découverte amusante et parfois impressionnante comme la succession de plusieurs expressions dont j'ai fait un collage... plus ou moins réussi... Trois expressions de Gao Xingjian, prix Nobel de la littérature en 2000 pour son oeuvre fascinante, oeuvre d'un peintre, d'un poète et d'un philosophe. En particulier "La Montagne de l'âme", roman complet de la "sinitude" retrouvée, tour à tour autobiographique, récit picaresque ou burlesque, introspection, reflet critique de la réalité, poème lyrique..., la Montagne de l'âme est le grand roman asiatique de la fin du XXème siècle.
J'ai eu l'occasion de le rencontrer lors du festival de littérature (Letteraltura) qui a lieu tous les ans, fin juin, à Verbania. J'ai surtout pu échanger avec lui une conversation, et conserver ainsi la beauté et la force intérieures de cet homme que j'ai trouvé Grandissime malgré sa petite taille... Un moment inoubliable.
(L'auteur de ces portraits vidéo est Robert Wilson, qui a défini ses portraits comme des "fenêtres ouvertes sur un autre monde", résultat d'une perfection technologique, mélange de lumières et de couleurs, de respirations que l'on perçoit, tout comme des battements de cils ou de paupières qui s'entrouvrent, etc).

Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis)
In late summer the brilliant scarlet of Cardinal Flower flashes from the marshes, stream banks and low woods. Called "America's favorite" and "spectacular", its extremely showy blossoms can be recognized at considerable distance. Few native plants have flowers of such intense color as this common herbaceous perennial.
The blossoms are delicate, gradually opening from bottom to top on two to four foot spikes. Five petals are united into a scarlet two-lipped corolla. The lower lip has three very prominent lobes; the upper lip has two small ones. Five stamens are joined forming a red tube around the style and are topped by bearded anthers which form a mustache-looking brush.
Beneath the flower spikes are numerous dark green leaves, tapered at both ends. A moderately tall plant, stout and erect, it is the favorite of our ruby-throated hummingbird, who obliges as a pollinator. The many seeds come in two-celled pods which open at the top.
Cardinal flowers can be grown in full sun or very light shade but probably grow best in filtered light. Mulch to keep the roots moist. Seeds planted in the summer form rosettes of foliage which stay green through the mild winter of the South. Be careful to keep leaves and debris from smothering these rosettes.
Beautiful but deadly, this plant has been used as a medicine but is also very poisonous. It contains fourteen alkaloids similar to those in nicotine. Extracts of the leaves and fruit produce vomiting, sweating, pain and finally death.
The Cardinal Flower is a member of the Bluebell Family, Campanulaceae. It was named after the Flemish botanist, Matthias de L'Obel (1538-1616).
From Wikipedia:
Lobelia cardinalis, the Cardinal Flower, is a perennial that grows 2-4 feet tall and is found in wet places, streambanks, and swamps. Leaves are lanceolate to oval and toothed. The plant flowers during the summer, with vibrant red blooms cited by Roger Tory Peterson as "America's favorite". A white form is also known. Discovered in Canada by explorers, it was sent back to France in the mid 1620s. The name Cardinal flower was in use by 1629, likely due to the similarity of the flower's colour to the miters of Roman Catholic Cardinals [1]. It can be found in North America from New Brunswick, to Florida to Texas to Minnesota, though it is most concentrated in Southern Ontario, New Brunswick, Michigan, and Minnesota[2][3]
North American indigenous peoples used root tea for a number of intestinal ailments and syphilis. Leaf teas were used by them for bronchial problems and colds, inter alia. The Meskwaki people used it as part of an inhalant against catarrh. Although related to tobacco, it was apparently not smoked, but may have been chewed. [4] The plant contains a number of alkaloids. As a member of the genus Lobelia, it is considered to be potentially toxic.[2]
Lobelia cardinalis is related to two other wildflowering plants common to the Eastern United States: Indian Tobacco and Great Lobelia, all of which display the characteristic "lip" petal near the opening of the flower and the "milky" liquid the plant excretes. It has been known to cause an upset in the digestive system when consumed.
Recently returned from two days spent at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and this is one of many photos I took while there. We stayed at the historic El Tovar Hotel, situated just along the rim - what a great location! I hadn't been to the Grand Canyon in 15 years and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the breath-taking landscapes once again.
INFORMATION ON THE GRAND CANYON:
The Grand Canyon is a steep-sided gorge carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is largely contained within the Grand Canyon National Park — one of the first national parks in the United States. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Longstanding scientific consensus has been that the canyon was created by the Colorado River over a six million year period. The canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6.4 to 29 km) and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. The canyon began in the west, followed by another that formed in the east. Eventually, the two broke through and met as a single majestic rent in the earth some six million years ago. The merger apparently occurred where the river today bends to the west, in the area known as the Kaibab Arch.
Before European immigration, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it. The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
The Grand Canyon is a massive rift in the Colorado Plateau that exposes uplifted Proterozoic and Paleozoic strata, and is also one of the six distinct physiographic sections of the Colorado Plateau province. The Grand Canyon is unmatched throughout the world for the vistas it offers to visitors on the rim. It is not the deepest canyon in the world — Cotahuasi Canyon (11598 feet or 3535 m) and Colca Canyon (10499 feet or 3200 m), both in Arequipa, Peru, and Hells Canyon (7,993 feet or 2436 m) on the Oregon-Idaho border, are all deeper — but Grand Canyon is known for its overwhelming size and its intricate and colorful landscape. Geologically it is significant because of the thick sequence of ancient rocks that are beautifully preserved and exposed in the walls of the canyon. These rock layers record much of the early geologic history of the North American continent.
About 600 deaths have occurred in the Grand Canyon since the 1870s. Some of these deaths occurred as the result of overly zealous photographic endeavors, some were the result of airplane collisions within the canyon, and some visitors drowned in the Colorado River. Many hikers overestimate their fitness level, become dehydrated and confused, and must be rescued. The Park Service now posts a picture of an attractive and fit young man at several trailheads with the caption "Every year we rescue hundreds of people from the Canyon. Most of them look like him", in an attempt to discourage hikers from feats which are beyond their abilities.
According to Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon, 50 fatalities have resulted from falls; 65 deaths were attributable to environmental causes, including heat stroke, cardiac arrest, dehydration, and hypothermia; 7 were caught in flash floods; 79 were drowned in the Colorado River; 242 perished in airplane and helicopter crashes (128 of them in the 1956 disaster mentioned below); 25 died in freak errors and accidents, including lightning strikes and rock falls; 47 committed suicide; and 23 were the victims of homicides.

En la última semana de abril de este 2023, impartiremos el curso internacional "Microscopía para la observación de microorganismos de turberas" en Chile, gracias a la invitación de la Universidad de la Frontera, del Decanato de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales y del Departamento de Ciencias Agronómicas y Recursos Naturales, de esta Universidad, a través de su director, el Profesor Rubén Carrillo López, impulsor de esta actividad y con la colaboración de los profesores de este Departamento los Drs Patricio Pacheco y Jorge Baraona.
De carácter abierto, y con un enfoque fundamentalmente práctico, esta actividad formativa y de investigación pretende difundir el valor de estos ecosistemas singulares desde diferentes puntos de vista, no solo destacando su importante papel a nivel global como fijadoras de CO2, sino también indagando, dando a conocer, y poniendo en valor, la gran biodiversidad microbiana que albergan y que está en el mismo origen de su génesis.
Las actividades de campo y las de laboratorio centradas en la observación, determinación, y registro visual del material que se investigue, constituirán el eje central del curso en el que el microscopio constituirá una herramienta esencial.
Se explorarán así, profundizando en ellas, las posibilidades que ofrece la microscopía óptica y las diferentes técnicas de observación e iluminación para conseguir los objetivos propuestos y fundamentalmente para acercarnos a los principales grupos de protistas y a algunos taxones en particular, exclusivos de las turberas del hemisferio austral.
Tal y como figura en la información que mostramos aquí, a la ceremonia de la sesión inaugural, que tendrá lugar el día 25 de abril a las 10h en el Auditorio de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales, seguirán en los días siguientes las actividades que se detallan en el programa, en las que esperamos que se cubran las expectativas generadas, del que posiblemente, sea el primer curso de estas características que se imparte en territorio chileno.
Agradecemos desde aquí una vez más al Profesor Rubén Carrillo, Director del Departamento de Ciencias Agronómicas y Recursos Naturales y al Decano de la Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias y Medioambientales de la Universidad de La Frontera Sr. Edison Altamirano, el interés y la generosidad con la que han impulsado esta iniciativa, que fortalece los vínculos entre personas, instituciones como la UFRO y la EBI y países como Chile y España.

Wladimir et Isabelle travaillent tous deux aux Archives nationales. La venue d'un deuxième enfant les conduit à s'interroger sur les possibilités de trouver un logement légèrement plus grand.
Pour cela, il faudra explorer toutes les pistes...
Première étape, les agences immobilières. Du centre de Paris aux arrondissements périphériques, à quelle superficie prétendre lorsqu'on jouit d'un peu plus de 3000 euros de revenu mensuel ? Visites, rencontres, discussions, négociations... Brice, responsable immobilier dans le 18e arrondissement de Paris "joue la vérité des prix". Alors que d'autres laissent miroiter comme possible ce qui se révèle illusoire aux yeux de notre jeune couple, celui-ci ne cache pas qu'aujourd'hui Paris est devenue, comme la plupart des grandes villes de France, une cité interdite pour les travailleurs qui n'ont pour vivre que le produit de leur travail, souvent réduit à un salaire qui n'a pas suivi le coût de la vie, notamment de la spéculation qui a frappé l'immobilier...
Et le logement social ? Dans la file d'attente d'une mairie d'arrondissement à Paris, confrontation entre Wladimir et quelques demandeurs de logement dont la fiche technique laisse perplexe. Rencontre avec un public concerné, "jeunes ou vieux, français ou étrangers, travailleurs ou retraités". Révélations de la responsable du logement. Les ventes à la découpe allongent les listes. Des dizaines de milliers de familles confrontées à ce phénomène à Paris, comme dans les autres grandes villes, se tournent aussi vers des services sociaux surchargés.
Et les petites annonces ? Que reste-t-il pour ces millions qui, contrairement à notre couple, n'ont pas un tel salaire ou pas de garantie de l'emploi ? Voyage des tentes de "médecins du monde" aux campings qui en périphérie sont parfois le lieu de résurgence des bidonvilles d'antan, peuplés par des salariés qui n'ont d'autre choix pour vivre.
Du maire de la Ferté Alais à Wlad et Isabelle, en passant par Brice, le responsable immobilier ; Greg, le manager d'agence ou Stéphane, le négociateur de logements, l'histoire de Wlad et Isabelle nous fait découvrir des situations plus surprenantes les unes que les autres. Un constat stupéfiant et affolant !

That is what he is known as, so at this point i think you should open up another window in your internet browser and google him or check out the website www.thejesusguy.com . The site was made by a movie director whom actually has made a documentary film on James.
James which he goes by is his middle name and he does not say he is Jesus but at first glance he sure does look like him, wearing only a robe and walking the country barefoot, James has traveled to 47 states and several different countries. With only a bible and his toothbrush. He doesnt use money and wont accept it, he lives off of what he is given.
So today i was killing a hour before i had to pick my father up from a meeting and i saw a man who looked like Jesus walking down a major road bare foot, so having my camera on me i instantly turned around and snapped some shots of him while he was walking. I then decided to get out of the car and talk to him, i talked to him for almost a hour and even walked about a mile with him as he was heading to Tampa.
He never once pressed Religion on me, he asked about my beliefs but never went further than that, i then brought it up later on. He was the most warm hearted man i have ever met in my life and if anyone ever see him, i really think you should take the time to talk to him.
I am not a very religious person and its a rather hot topic with me, but after speaking with him i feel my spiritual beliefs have become more open.
Thank you James and i hope to see you again in the future, my prayers are with you on your Journey.

According to Wikipedia, the Clouded Leopard is a cat found from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China, and has been classified as vulnerable since 2008 by IUCN. Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults. The clouded leopard is considered to form an evolutionary link between the big cats and the small cats. The Sunda Clouded Leopard found on Sumatra and Borneo is genetically distinct and has been considered a separate species since 2006. Both species are the smallest of the big cats, and are not closely related to the leopard. Clouded Leopards weigh between 25 and 51 lbs (11.5 - 23 kg). Females vary in head-to-base-of-tail length from 27 to 37 inches (69 - 94cm), with a tail 24 to 32 inches (61 - 81cm) long. Males are larger at 32 to 43 inches (81 - 109cm) with a tail 29 to 36 inches (74 - 91cm) long. Their shoulder height varies from 20 to 22 inches (51 - 56cm). They have exceptionally long, piercing canine teeth, the upper being about three times as long as the basal width of the socket. The upper pair of canines may measure 1.6 inches (4cm) or longer. They are often referred to as a “modern-day saber tooth” because they have the largest canines in proportion to their body size, matching the tiger in the length of their canines.

I know this is a bit long but I thought it was a cute poem!
I Found a Four-Leaf Clover
by Jack Prelutsky
I found a four-leaf clover
and was happy with my find,
but with time to think it over,
I’ve entirely changed my mind.
I concealed it in my pocket,
safe inside a paper pad,
soon, much swifter than a rocket,
my good fortune turned to bad.
I smashed my fingers in a door,
I dropped a dozen eggs,
I slipped and tumbled to the floor,
a dog nipped both my legs,
my ring slid down the bathtub drain,
my pen leaked on my shirt,
I barked my shin, I missed my train,
I sat on my dessert.
I broke my brand-new glasses,
and I couldn’t find my keys,
I stepped in spilled molasses,
and was stung by angry bees.
When the kitten ripped the curtain,
and the toast burst into flame,
I was absolutely certain
that the clover was to blame.
I buried it discreetly
in the middle of a field,
now my luck has changed completely,
and my wounds have almost healed.
If I ever find another,
I will simply let it be,
or I’ll give it to my brother—
he deserves it more than me.
