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!

Monday 4th was dedicated to defend immigration rights. The main actions yere in the morning in front of the immigration center of Rostock (where a protester was injured and a couple detained) and in the afternoon, a rally at a refugee camp. This was followed by a large unauthorized demonstration, resulting in hours of waiting until the authorities allowed the protesters to go to to the harbor.
Here, one of the numerous clowns during the demonstration.
Please read the explanation at the beginning of the set and view the pictures in chronological order.
Part of " G8 summit 2007"
In August 2014 the Hamilton County Commissioners voted to put on the ballot for this November a one-quarter of one percent sales tax increase that by law is limited to five years to fund the restoration of Cincinnati Union Terminal.
The tax would generate nearly $172 million in revenue-- and when it is combined with historic tax credits, contributions from the State of Ohio, and philanthropic fundraising efforts it will allow for the complete repair and restoration of Union Terminal.
Hamilton County residents will not be the only ones paying for this. The Economics Center at the University of Cincinnati analyzed and determined that approximately 47% of the sales tax collected in Hamilton County comes from people who live outside the county, thus relieving the tax burden on local residents.
Additionally, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the sales tax increase would cost the average resident just $23 per year. The Hamilton County Commissioners also put in the proposal that by law this increase would end after just five years.
The successful passage of Issue 8 will allow us to preserve Union Terminal and guarantee that it will continue to be an essential part of our region's great heritage. Future generations will benefit from our investment now-- ensuring that our children, and grandchildren, are able to enjoy Union Terminal.
Decades of time, outdated construction techniques and years of freezing and thawing have taken its toll on Union Terminal. But, repairs can be made to the exterior envelope of Union Terminal to prevent water damage and to the steel structures underneath, making the building fit for a very long time into our future. Additional repairs and renovations to outdated mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will make Union Terminal more efficient and create more opportunities for activities within the building.
There are many ways to become involved with the campaign. First and foremost is to make sure you are registered to vote by October 6 and vote 'Yes' on Election Day, November 4th.

BACKSTORY:
My father was an expert at separating people from their valuables and as you can imagine, we had to move from city to city quite often. Eventually we ran out of places to hide and were taken in by a small like-minded orc tribe.
Spent the better part of my youth wrestling with orc and ogre younglings and even participating in their rites of passage. The elder shamans noticed something special within me so conducted spiritual tests on me. I displayed an affinity for their magicks so they taught me their secrets. When my father and I finally moved along, I took what I'd learned and continued my magical studies. Although I favor earthen magic, I'm quite well versed in other forms of sorcery.

From Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch_Castle
Christchurch Castle is located in Christchurch, Dorset, England
It originated as Norman motte and bailey castle raised around 1100 by Richard de Redvers, cousin of Henry I. A great tower was built later probably about 1300.
The castle saw military activity in 1147 during the war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda. It was also involved in the Civil War when it was initially a Royalist castle. As a result of this it was slighted in about 1652.
The castle is now in ruins. A couple of the keep walls remain, surrounded by a rectangular moat. Nearby is a domestic Norman dwelling, known as the Constable's House, which was built within the original castle bailey in 1160.
Para quem gosta desse estilo de música, recomendo escutar essa - na companhia de fones de ouvido e olhos fechados, para melhor apreciação. Ela passa bem o que eu sinto quando olho essa foto. :)
Eu gosto do que é quieto. Me apaixono pela sinceridade do despreocupado. E sem muito alarde, as coisas são mais sinceras.
Devo ter passado uns 20 minutos prestando atenção nesse cara, e ele não saiu dali; continuava olhando para frente, às vezes para baixo, perdido em sei lá qual pensamento. Em algum momento eu considerei perguntar se estava tudo bem, mas como acontece em todas as vezes que penso isso, fiquei calada. Resumi minha observação a alguns cliques, tentando enxergar se o que estava acontecendo ali era paz, agonia, reflexão ou apenas um descanso. Não cheguei a conclusão nenhuma, e fui embora tão quieta quanto cheguei.

To those who like this kind of music, I recommend listening this one - with headphones and eyes closed, for better appreciation. It shows pretty much everything I feel when I look at this photo. :)
I like of what is quiet. I fall in love with the carefree's sincerity. And, without ostentation, things are more sincere.
I must have spent about 20 minutes watching this guy, and he didn't move an inch; he kept looking forward, sometimes looking down, lost in some thoughts that I dunno. At some point I considered asking him if everything was okay, but as pretty much every time I think about doing that, I remained silent. I just summarized my observation to some clicks, trying to understand if what was happening there was peace, agony, meditation or just a simple rest. Didn't came to any conclusion, and left as quietly as I arrived.

Währungsreform 1923/1948
Zwei mal in 25 Jahren ist in Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert die Währung völlig zusammengebrochen. Die äußeren Umstände scheinen sich auf den ersten Blick zu ähneln (verlorener Krieg, Inflation usw.) – die Reformen an sich könnten technisch gesehen kaum unterschiedlicher sein.
1923/24 wurde im „laufenden Betrieb“ an der neuerlichen Etablierung der alten Strukturen gearbeitet. Natürlich auch im Interesse der privaten und auf Gewinn ausgerichteten Reichsbank. Die Regelungen finden sich in verschiedenen Gesetzen und Ausführungsbestimmungen, über Monate verteilt.
1948 lief kein „Betrieb“ mehr.
-
Schon am 20. Juni 1948 wurde das erste Währungsreformgesetz in Kraft gesetzt. Damit wurde die D-Mark für die Westzonen das neue Zahlungsmittel. Die amerikanische Besatzungsmacht brachte Banknoten im Nennwert von 5,7 Mrd. DM in den Verkehr (die in den USA schon ab Herbst des vergangenen Jahres gedruckt worden waren). Es gab für jeden Bürger 60 DM „Kopfgeld“, wovon 40 DM sofort ausgezahlt wurden. Die Unternehmen erhielten 60 DM als „Geschäftsbetrag“ pro Arbeitnehmer. Das Altgeld wurde mit dem Verhältnis 100 zu 6,5 umgetauscht. Die meisten privaten Reichsmarkverbindlichkeiten wurden im Verhältnis von 10:1 in D-Mark gewandelt. Insgesamt wurden 93,5 % des alten Reichsmarkvolumens aus dem Verkehr gezogen!
Das neu eingeführte Geld wurde von der Bevölkerung sofort angenommen. Es trat der sogenannte „Schaufenster-Effekt“ ein, in dessen Folge der Schwarzmarkt praktisch im Handumdrehen verschwand und gehortete Waren wanderten über Nacht zum Verkauf in die Läden. Damit wurde (weitgehend) Erhards Wirtschaftspolitik durch einen ersten Erfolg gekrönt.

Zigarettenwährung
Vor der Währungsform wurde oft in "Zigaretten" gezahlt, man spricht auch von "Zigarettenwährung". An die Stelle dieser Zigarettenwährung sollte jetzt wieder "richtiges" Geld treten. So verhandelte man seit 1947 über eine Währungsreform.
Die bedeutete aber, dass alles, was die Leute gespart hatten, wertlos werden würde.
-
Natürlich gab es auch Schattenseiten.
Besitzer von Sachwerten wurden begünstigt, während die Reform Geldwertbesitzer praktisch enteignete. Nicht nur wegen der „Streichung“ von Guthaben an sich, sondern vor allem auch, weil Bodenbesitz, Eigentum von Produktionsmitteln und Waren ja von der Neuordnung unberührt geblieben waren.
Beteuert wurde denn auch von Anfang an quer durch alle Parteien, dass ein gerechter Lastenausgleich um diese Schieflage abzuschwächen zu den dringlichsten Aufgaben gehöre.
Lastenausgleich - infolge der Einführung der Mark
Es dauerte aber noch. 1952 trat in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland das Lastenausgleichsgesetz in Kraft. Damit wurden, vor allem durch Abgaben auf Grund- und Immobilienbesitz, Aufbaudarlehen für Ausgebombte, Siedlungshilfe für Flüchtlinge und Investitionshilfen zur Existenzgründung ermöglicht.

George C. Marshall war 1947 amerikanischer Außenminister. Er kündigte bei einem Vortrag, den er an der amerikanischen Universität Harvard im Juni 1947 hielt, ein Hilfsprogramm für Europa an.
-
Hilfsprogramm, dessen offizielle Bezeichnung "European Recovery Program" (kurz ERP) lautete, ging dann als der so genannte Marshallplan - eben nach dem amerikanischen Außenminister Marshall benannt - in die Geschichte ein.

Mauerfall und Grenzöffnung
La piazza ducale, il cuore della cittadina di Vigevano,è forse il più tipico esempio di piazza rinascimentale, creata di getto sopra un piano prestabilito e con un tema architettonico rigidamente unitario.
Fu voluta nel 1494 da Ludovico il Moro come nobile ingresso al Castello, eletto a residenza estiva della corte Sforzesca, e si vuole che il progetto l'abbia dato Leonardo.
E' un vasto rettangolo, tutto chiuso, cinto per tre lati da uniformi, bassi palazzetti a portici ad arcate su colonne, con un piano nobile di finestre a centina e un attico aperto da oculi, tutti rivestiti di una vivace decorazione pittorica, ripristinata a principio del secolo su tracce antiche. Dietro il lato Sud della piazza si leva imponente la torre del castello, a più piani rientranti e merlati dovuta al Bramante; è l'unica nota verticale tra così accentuato predominio di basse, sfuggenti linee orizzontali.
Sul lato orientale fa da sfondo il Duomo, la cui seicentesca facciata, con un senso della scenografia tutto barocco, si espande incurvandosi per l'intera larghezza della piazza.
L'effetto che ne viene è quello di arginarne il flusso della spazialità che le affluisce sul ritmo della lunga teoria dei portici, i quali scorrono con uguale passo,senza concedere una pausa, un varco alla loro bella continuità.
Ordine, misura e armonia determinano l'incanto di questo incomparabile ambiente, così tipicamente lombardo, così fatto su misura umana, privo di retorica, di spettacolare monumentalità, come si conveniva, del resto, alle funzioni di cortile d'ingresso a una residenza di campagna, attribuitagli in origine dal suo ideatore.
Oggi esso si mostra non meno consono allo spirito e alla vita di una cittadina di provincia, di cui a giusto titolo costituisce l'orgoglio, e che ne ha fatto il suo salotto, il suo ritrovo, il teatro dei riti della sua vita quotidiana, dei suoi ozi e delle sue piccole vanità, come se ne conviene per una cultura ricca e fervida.
Línea Azul se ha convertido en una empresa bastante importante en el rubro del transporte interurbano, teniendo rutas que van hacia el norte (Sierra Gorda, Antofagasta, Copiapó, Coquimbo y otros) y hacia el sur (Pucón, Valdivia, Osorno, Puerto Montt y otros). Los buses de la empresa se caracterizan por tener cortes de pintura llamativos, ya sea de paisajes, animales u otros distintivos.

Benefit for Jordan Renne Cilley and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International
"Thank you for coming to When You Believe. My name is Jordan Renne Cilley. I am ten years old and I have Juvenile Diabetes Type l. I was diagnosed on March 17, 2007, when I was only seven years old.
...You get diabetes when your pancreas stops making natural insulin in your body. The insulin injections help bring down my blood sugar. I have to poke my finger to check my blood sugar before every meal and snack... Then I have to give myself insulin injections... [adding up to] 6-8 injections a day... I also have to be careful that my blood sugar doesn't go too low, because I could end up in the hospital.
Sometimes I get upset and cry that I have to stop what I'm doing to check my blood, and take insulin injections. It' not fair that I have to let my team down and stop playing a volleyball game because I feel low and have to bring my blood sugars up. It makes me sad that I have juvenile diabetes.
With your help I want to raise money to find a cure for juvenile diabetes, to educate people about juvenile diabetes so that people are aware of who and why we have juvenile diabetes. Finding a cure for juvenile diabetes means not having to always poke our fingers to check our blood. It means that we will be able to live life without being afraid of our blood sugar getting too high or too low. It means that someday we would not have to take insulin injetions anymore."

The translation between the architectural design and the subsequent actualization process is mediated by various tools and techniques. Through the adoption in architectural design practice of computation and information technologies, with their capacity for a relatively seamless transition between design and fabrication, a more integrated workflow across the design and actualization process is made more accessible to designers. In recent years, designers have become increasingly able to move effortlessly between digital modeling, performance simulation, and physical realization. As technology evolves, this rapidly evolving field continually presents architects and designers with new challenges and opportunities for creative exploration as well as a more materially intelligent practice. This course pursued research in architectural design placing technology as a driver in the creative processes. In the course, ceramics served as the framework for research, discussion and experimentation on digital design and fabrication technologies. While ceramics has one of the longest histories as a material in architecture, it may also still be one of the material families to offer the potential and mutability to generate a range of novel applications by engaging a variety of emerging digital fabrication processes. The Craft-based manufacturing and high-volume industrial production traditionally associated with clay-based ceramics was rethought through the lens of digital design and fabrication techniques. The extension of the capacity for the application of ceramics in architecture through an engagement with digital design and fabrication was explored during semester-long group research projects with the additional guidance of the Harvard Ceramics Program and with support from the Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturer’s Association (ASCER).

This weekend, there was a house in our city, (about five minutes walking distance), that was having an open house yard sell.
Their house was built in 1904. (My house was built in 1890.) I'm in LOVE with old, antique, vintage stuff. From houses, to clothing, to CAMERAS, to LIFESTYLES.
These people knew exactly how to live in that completely vintage, old-fashioned way. Their home wasn't ever air conditioned. And they've been living there since 1988. Well, little did I know, but the man living there is a WIDELY known photographer.
www.garygruby.com/ <--His website!
He does AMAZING things with his many cameras. He is selling SEVERAL vintage cameras, including some SUPER awesome collapsible Polaroid cameras. He was a very inspiring and very talented older man, and just speaking to him was such a pleasure. :]
I hope all of you get to have experiences like I had.
Math test Thursday. So I'll be studying hardcore. :[ Pray for me! I'm so nervous :[
ANYWAYS, on to five random things you may or may not know about me. (I've been tagged so many times for so many things, I can't even count. I tag everyone by the way ;])
1. My dreams are almost ALWAYS realistic. It's quite aggravating actually. I'd rather have trippy, yet awesome dreams, rather than waking up wondering if I ACTUALLY met Justin Bieber. :|
2. I'm a good friend. I'm not saying because I'm proud. I'm saying it because I strive to be by my friend's sides. I want them to be happy, to make good decisions, to remember who they are, to go for their goals, to love, to have fun, to explore, and to really be able to trust me as a friend. I'll hold in a secret until the day I die, and I love helping people with their problems, or just being there for them to talk to. I know I can't always hang out with people, but I'm always here if you need to talk. This means all you Flickrists as well!
3. I love SO many different types of music. Back in highschool, I was STRICTLY into heavier music. (Metal, hardcore, screamo, etc.) But lately, I've been digging mostly everything. I love reggae, mainstream, pop-punk, rap, hip hop, indie, techno, rock, classic rock, hardcore, metal. Everything except country mainly. :P
4. My favorite bands/singers lately are!: Katy Perry, The Noisettes, MGMT, B.O.B., Nicki Minaj, Avenged Sevenfold, and Lady Gaga. There are many more I just can't remember. :[
5. I've been drinking ONLY water, (and the occasional coffee) for the past two weeks! And I must say, I've had less acne, and more energy!
Hope you enjoyed, and learned a thing or two about me! Interact with me in the comments! :] What're some bands I should check out?

I just love cooking and baking, it's so calming and peaceful for me. Ahhh i just love making everything home made. Today has been so bliss. I've read pretty much all day. haha. and i downloaded all of colbie caillat cd's. She's such a great singer. People say i sing like her. I'm also cooking red beans right now,the bag kind not the can ones(ewh),for my dinner tonight and tomorrow. I'm excited. I love being a baby vega. haha meaning for now i'm kinda a vegan, i only eat dairy products or meat if it's natural and not processed,like lunch meat, or shredded cheese. But i will eat the kinds of cheese that you have to chop up yourself, and i will eat the chicken you have to make yourself, the hamburgers, steak, and etc. I'm sooo excited for thanksgiving. ellen(my grandmas very good friend since highschool) is making so much home made food and i'm elated. my dad loves making fun of me and how much i LOVE food. haha. I'm about to go watch up! my dad bought this 4 disc set on blue ray..so beautiful. can't wait until my brother gets home from school so he can eat my cookies, i made them specifically for him. since he can't eat chocolate,he's allergic. yeah i know right? i'd die. Going to ruhi book 7 tonight,again, so excited. i love those people and our decussions. Oh and fyi just because i like eating all healthy and stuff doesn't mean i tell others how to eat, and i do eat balanced and moderation so i will go out to eat at restaurants and i don't make a big fuss about processed foods i just don't want to eat them. I don't like how they make my body feel. My body must love me because whenever i eat fast food it rejects it seconds after i eat it (i mean i haven't in a while because i hate it but the last time i had no other choice that happened). my body loves me haha. I guess because i eat soooo good now that when i put one bad thing in me,even once, my stomach freaks out and i get sooo nauses haha. but yeah i crazy. i like eating healthy. and i freaking love fruit and veggies, and bread and fooooooddd haha. This apple was sooo juicy mmm.none of these pictures were edited. latley i haven't edited any of my pictures i just uploaded them,resize them and post them here. i think only some of my pictures are edited, and when i say edited i mean different coloring because the lighting might be off, or the picture could be to dark or what not. Overall my pictures are all natural. that's how i like them. i miss jonel's family so much. That may sound funny but i do. I feel apart of his family ever since kentucky and we all got beyond close. More then when i was in fl. I just love them so much. They are all so loving and silly and down to earth as well as laid back. I just ahh love them. I can't wait until the summer i'm going to spend a week with jonel and his family. I've been feeling so tranquil today, not that i'm not calm but today has just been extra great and stuff. i haven't done yoga yet either haha. but i will soon i wanted to try doing it at night since i haven't in forever. but yeah done talking.p.s my brother loved the cookies so much he had 4 on the spot hehe my dad had 4 as well. i only had 2. i want to bring some to the ruhi book 7 group. hope there is some left tonight hehe. up was so amazing. i love it, it was so incredible, so real, so cute, so funny, so perfect. pixar did it again. off to do yoga before i eat
p.s.s jonel called me while i was doing yoga and we got to talk for 50ish mintues. it was incredible talking to him. Talking to him made me feel unempty. i finally don't feel empty anymore. Hearing that laugh, his crazyness, everything. I was filled with so much joy.
everyone liked my cookies..they gobbled them up.
hope everyone is having a great tuesday. two more days until thanksgiving:D

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.

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.

I saw this scene the other day when we took an evening stroll around Coal Harbour. I then told my husband I had to come back another day for the shot. So here I am! I like how the subtle sky goes well with the complex building structures, and how the two tourists give the scale of the scene! :-)

March 7th is Very Much Alive day.
It is a day where we are all going to come together as people, friends, lovers, brothers, and sisters, and we're going to make sure that that we feel alive. Most people live their entire lives feeling empty, alone, scared, and sad. We're here to remind you that you're not.
It's really easy to participate. If you can, write "Very Much Alive" on your arms, hands, legs, stomachs- anywhere you want! You can also wear purple. Don't forget to tell people about us and invite your friends!
We're also going to hold a contest for the people who are attending, post a picture of yourself wearing purple, or with "VMA" or "Very Much Alive" written on yourself and we'll pick the winner for the most creative person to do so.
Always remember that we love you and we want you to know that you're never alone.

Located in southwestern Ohio, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park is a 265-acre park and outdoor museum combining the nature with art.
ohiomag.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=586CA122EB394032BD4AA3B686...
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."

Notes: Marty and I played hooky yesterday. The forecast was for sun and 66 degrees (f). For January, that's a pretty rare treat for us. So we packed up our gear and headed to the beach. Or "down the shore" as we like to say in New Jersey. The temps by the ocean were not to meet the expected 60+ temps but nonetheless, it was a spectacular day out. We didn't see a lot of different or new species, sans this one.
Horned Larks have probably been there many times before, but, thanks to a guy we met out on the jetty (Thanks, Todd!) we were pointed in the right direction. I scooted on my rear end, propping my lens on my knees (with bean bag) a good 30 feet to get this shot. High sun and white sand, make for challenging shooting. I chose this image to share because the horns are so predominantly displayed.
About 3/4 the way through the day of shooting I realized I was shooting in JPG mode. Gulp. But alas, as it turned out, no harm done. It ended up making the post work, well... a breeze if you want to know the truth. Can I pull as much out of shadows, etc? No... but for a day out having fun... who cares? I think I may opt to let my camera do the heavy work next time too.

According to Wikipedia:
Postman's Park is a small green memorial garden in the City of London. It is located between King Edward Street, Little Britain and Angel Street. It was created in 1880 from the churchyards of St Leonard, Foster Lane and St Botolph-without-Aldersgate together with the graveyard of Christ Church Greyfriars. St Leonard's had been a ruin since the Great Fire and was probably demolished at the time of the creation of the park. St Botolph's is still open and stands at the north east corner of the park. Christ Church was detached from its graveyard and is now a ruin on the other side of King Edward Street.
The park was the idea of the painter George Frederick Watts who wanted to celebrate people who may otherwise have been forgotten. Its name celebrates the postmen who work in the principal London post office and the former sorting office in King Edward Street.
A wall in the park has 34 hand-painted tiles paying tribute to everyday people who sacrificed their lives helping others. The hand-lettered tiles were made by Royal Doulton.
The park features in the film Closer - Natalie Portman's character takes her pseudonym 'Alice Ayres' from one of the painted tiles, as Jude Law's character discovers at the end of the film.

Los asfodelos o gamones (Asphodelus spp.) son un género de plantas vivaces herbáceas, bianuales o perennes, oriundas del sur y centro de Europa; se han difundido hoy por todo el mundo como plantas ornamentales, gracias a sus grandes flores y la facilidad de su cultivo, requiriendo pocos nutrientes, escasa humedad y mucha luz. Son bulbosas, y varias especies producen tubérculos.
En la antigua Grecia, los asfodelos se colocaban en la tumba de los muertos y se empleaban en las ceremonias fúnebres, en la creencia de que facilitaban el tránsito de los difuntos a los Campos Elíseos, que se creía tapizado de éstos.
