my photo for the august break
i was relaxing on the beach yesterday, watching him play, thinking about how different life is now from when he was wee:).
and i finally finished a book of his photographs from his 365 project. yay:)
i didn't have my camera with me ( weird weekend for that...need some inspiration i fear! ) so snapped this with my blackberry.
and i finally started and finished a book of his photographs from his 365 project of his first year. yay:).
Ok, it's not really a raven, it's an American Crow, seen in a restaurant parking lot, but it reminded me of Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Raven (exerpt below).
But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'

Important missionary map showing part of Vietnam, prepared by Adrien Launay, who was a French Missionary and later chronicler of the history of the French Missions in Indo-China at end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th Centuries. His work became a primary reference for many future historians.
From "Atlas des Missions de la Société des Missions-Etrangères", published in Lille by Société de Saint Augustin Desclée de Brouwer et Cie. Scale 1:574.000.
Adrien Launay entered the Seminary of the Paris "Missions étrangères" in 1874.
He left for Cochinchina on April 5 of the same year. In 1879, he was responsible for the district Cai-de and Cai-thia. After he went ill he stayed some time in Hong Kong and was obliged in 1882 to return to France.
Father Launay requested to resign the mission in 1884, but this was denied.
Ten years later he published "Table analytique" in 12 volumes and "Table alphabétique" in 4 volumes.
In parallel with this work, he wrote many books on the history of the Société des Missions étrangères, general history and various special missions.
It also published the "Atlas des Missions de la Société des Missions-Etrangères".
He went to India in 1896, then made ??a trip to China in 1898. He returned to France in 1899, and then resumed his work. He continues to publish many books. He left the seminary in Paris in December 1926. He died April 21, 1927.
The Société des Missions Étrangères de Paris (Society of Foreign Missions of Paris) was established between 1658-1663 when the Jesuit Father Alexandre de Rhodes, back from Vietnam and asking for the dispatch of numerous missionaries to the Far East.
In the 350 years since its foundation, the institution has sent more than 4.200 missionary priests to Asia and North America, with the mission of adapting to local customs, establishing a native clergy, and keeping close contacts with Rome.

El cisne común (Cygnus olor), también llamado cisne mudo y cisne blanco , es una especie de ave anseriforme de la familia Anatidae propia del Hemisferio Norte. Su denominación científica es Cygnus olor, donde tanto cygnus como olor significan "cisne" en griego clásico y en latín, respectivamente. El cisne mudo debe su nombre a que no emite los fuertes trompetazos de los otros congéneres, aunque sí emite ciertos sonidos que lo descalificarían de mudo.
Esta especie presenta el segundo tamaño del género Cygnus; solo el cisne trompetero es un poco mayor. Se le distingue de los otros cisnes blancos por tener el pico de color amarillo anaranjado a rojo. Los otros lo tienen negro y amarillo. También es el único cisne blanco al que le crece una carúncula negra sobre la base del pico.
No hay dimorfismo sexual en el plumaje. Los machos son más grandes, y su envergadura alar es de 2,4 metros. La carúncula negra sobre el pico se desarrolla más en el macho.

It was a glorious day for a walk!
Seen on my walk on the Waterway in The Woodlands.
The sign refers to a children's fountain that has water jets spouting up randomly for the kids to run around in. It has little mosaics imbedded in the design - of things that might be found in Grandma's purse. A crayon, a little toy car, a little baby doll, a couple of dominos, etc, etc.
My grandma always had a little pencil and pad of paper for us to doodle on if we got restless in church. And of course, she ALWAYS had a hanky. The first things I ever learned how to iron were hankies and my dad's white cotton handkerchiefs that he always carried. Does anyone carry REAL hankies and handkerchiefs anymore?

New paint software!!! Incredible stuff for $29.99 US dollars. It is head over heal better than Corel painter--I mean significantly better! If you cannot see this in full size, I uploaded this to my website so you can see the incredible textures you can create with this software: www.stantonphotostudios.com/p602592670/h19453a4#h19453a4. This is a photo that I traced... On the picture at my website I have updated it a bit further
If you have access to shopping from amazon.com, here is the link to this software: www.amazon.com/Smith-Micro-Software-Inc-ARDHBX2/dp/B001AE...
On this picture the only textured are of interest is the center of the Calla lily where the pollen is. So if you can zoom in, go for that area. Also, this software allows you to make the clone colors metallic--which I did here for the center and some of the white. For $30, this is a fascinating piece of software if you like to paint. It has gazillions of features, many significantly better than Corel or other painter software.
Have a great day/night!

UN Women Fiji Multi-Country Office (MCO) was proud to participate in the Pacific Humanitarian Partnership (PHP) Meeting held 2-3 October in Suva, Fiji, which brought together the humanitarian community – including government, UN agencies, civil society organisations, social movements and international and national non-government organisations (INGOs and NGOs) – to share best practices and strengthen localisation of preparedness and response activities.
UN Women Fiji MCO Representative Aleta Miller spoke at the meeting’s opening session. UN Women also facilitated a joint session with Diverse Voices for Action and Equality (DIVA for Equality) to promote the visibility of gender and protection actors in humanitarian response – those who may not always be part of formal humanitarian structures but do vital work in their communities. Experiences were shared by national civil society members from across the Pacific region including FemLINKPacific/Transcend Oceania, Pacific Rainbows Advocacy Network (PRAN), Fiji Disabled Peoples Federation (FDPF), Women United Together Marshall Islands (WUTMI) and DIVA for Equality.

Oggettistica in Dung Paper con Carta riciclata in cacca d'elefante
ECO MAXIMUS è nata per produrre materiale per cancelleria e regalo da una materia molto "originale". Incredibilmente infatti, i prodotti di carta, totalmente
hand-crafted, sono fatti al 75% di sterco di elefante e per un 25% di carta riciclata.
PERCHE' ECO MAXIMUS ESISTE
Carta in cacca d'elefante
Lo Sri Lanka è la casa a di un decimo dei 40.000 elefanti Asiatici selvaggi, elefanti che in Sri Lanka non vengono uccisi per le loro zanne; non sono uccisi per la carne, poichè nessuno mangia la carne di elefante; non sono uccisi per la pelle, poichè non vi è mercato per non esiste industria della pelle di elefante.
Sono semplicemente uccisi perchè interferiscono con l'agricoltura. Dal 1950, è probabile che più di 4.000 elefanti siano stati abbattuti nel conflitto tra l'uomo e l'elefante.
L'elefante è senza spazio in Sri Lanka. La maggior parte delle aree protette abitate dagli elefanti sono piccole, meno di 1.000 kmq, mentre gli elefanti, possono spostarsi per centinaia di chilometri nel corso di una stagione. Il loro appetito è enorme e gli elefanti e le persone non possono vivere insieme dove l'agricoltura è la forma dominante di utilizzo del suolo, a meno che il danno che causano ai contadini possa essere ricompensato.
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Non ci sono facili soluzioni per risolvere il conflitto! Molto dipenderà da come i contadini percepiranno il valore dell'elefante per fermarne l'uccisione ingiustificata. Molti si stanno convincendo che l'unico modo per convivere pacificamente passi attraverso l'utilizzo dell'elefante come una risorsa sostenibile economica. Lo sterco di elefante è un prodotto finito ed è anche una merce che è liberamente disponibile a in qualunque momento (mediamente ogni elefante adulto ne produce 180-200 kg al giorno) e, fino ad ora, nessuno aveva trovato alcun utilizzo.
Il progetto di Maximus per fabbricare la carta dallo sterco di elefante può aiutare la percezione dei contadini sul valore economico dell'elefante nelle aree di conflitto. Il progetto, cominciato nel 1997, ha prodotto con successo e lanciato sul mercato ciò che è conosciuto come "carta di pachiderma".
In questo modo "la cacca di elefante" prende la forma di quaderni, fogli di carta, scatole, borse ecc. La sola limitazione è l'immaginazione!
Maximus - Lavorazione carta
Questi prodotti sono divenuti estremamente popolari fra la popolazione locale ed i turisti stranieri. Anche se lo sterco di elefante non può risolvere il crescente conflitto uomo-elefante, il suo uso a beneficio dei contadini che soffrono andrà certamente ad innalzare il livello di tolleranza di questi ultimi. Se l'elefante sarà visto come un valore economico per contribuire significativamente al benessere delle persone, le stesse non ameranno vederlo scomparire dalla loro area. In conclusione, tutti gli sforzi sarebbero futili senza il sostegno delle comunità locali.
You look at this and may wonder at a glance … what is it, what kind of car or you see abstract. I believe it’s a Ferrari not sure what model or year. I would like to think the designers of these beautiful automobiles want all of us to study and appreciate all their wonderful curves. Then again this image is a bit abstract with shapes, tones, lines and a bit of reality.
Taking images of shinny cars in a parking lot is not all that easy. EVERTHING reflects in the shinny surface and adds or maybe detracts for the intent of the image. If you look closely you will see letter from business signs as well the parking lot markings. I did PS out all the actual dust on the car to pull off the continual graduating tones of light and curves. You are probably right if you call me a perfectionist but I believe good photos are all about the details besides the subject itself. My wireless timer is a huge help in keeping me out of the reflections, my 1st trial shot bared this out.
Having a 30" monitor is awesome for web development. I have TextMate for editing the PHP/HTML and CSSEdit for, er, editing the CSS running side by side along with a couple of terminal windows for viewing the apache logs and my FTP and MySQL apps all on screen.
On the other screen I have the various browsers and previews of the code.

"The older generation thought nothing of getting up at five every morning - and the younger generation doesn't think much of it either. "
But maybe if mornings looked like this, they would re-think their thought. You have to admit, this does look a bit surreal!

Voragine a Roma
dal sito del Il Messaggero:
"ROMA (22 marzo) - Sono state concluse oggi le verifiche in via Anastasio II, dove venerdì scorso si è apertaun'ampia voragine all'altezza del civico 282. L'Acea, concluse le operazioni di verifica, oggi ha reso noto che il manto stradale è collassato per via del cedimento del tratto di fogna che passa a 12 metri di profondità sotto il tratto di strada interessato.
La presenza dei cavi di alta tensione nel punto del terreno sconnesso - comunica Acea - e l'estrema profondità in cui si trova la rete fognaria interessata dal danno, richiederanno importanti lavori di riparazione. Al momento il servizio fognario della zona non ha subito interruzioni né disagi. Concluse le operazioni di verifica, inizieranno i lavori di ripristino."
Cracks in Rome
"Rome (22 March) - Today has been concluded the checks in via Anastasio II, where last Friday opened a wide chasm At number 282. ACEA, completed the verification, today announced that the road surface has collapsed because of subsidence of the section of sewer that goes to 12 meters deep under the stretch of road concerned.
The presence of high voltage cables at the point in rough terrain - at Acea - and the extreme depth is located in the drainage system affected by the damage, will require major repairs. Currently, the sewer service area has not suffered interruption or inconvenience. Completed the verification will start their work sites. "
An ivory head of Santo Domingo de Guzman
ESTIMATE: PHP 550,000 - 600,000
18th century
Manila
Ivory, wood, glass eyes, polychrome
18 x 11 x 13 cm (7 x 4 1/4 x 5 in)
Provenance:
From the heirs of Dr. José P. Bantug
Separately carved ivory heads were intended to be attached to a sculpted saint’s body, which could take several forms: de tallado, a fully carved and finely detailed wooden body painted in organic polychrome to create a complete sculpture; de gozne or mannequin-type wooden body with articulated limbs; or a bastidor-type structure consisting of a half-length carved wooden torso with a wooden slat framework below, functioning like a petticoat and also fitted with articulated limbs. The latter two forms were designed for de vestir sculptures, meant to be dressed in real, often elaborately embroidered garments. Once completed, these santo images were installed in church altar niches or used as processional figures. Affluent families likewise commissioned santo images for private devotion within their homes.
This ivory head represents Santo Domingo de Guzmán. It features an elongated, narrow face with softly rounded yet prominent cheeks and a refined jawline. The almond-shaped eyes are slightly wide and contemplative, retaining their original, well-integrated glass elements. Heavy lids rest beneath high-arched eyebrows, enhancing the introspective expression. The nose is slender and elongated, characteristic of Baroque devotional sculpture. The beard is deeply undercut and stylized in controlled, layered curls, while the small mouth with gently fleshy lips conveys a calm, inward-looking demeanor. The overall aesthetic is light and refined. A circular cavity beneath the head confirms that it was designed to be mounted onto a wooden body. Both its construction and stylistic characteristics point to early 18th-century (1700–1740) production in Manila workshops, where highly skilled Chinese artisans (Sangleys) collaborated with indigenous Filipino carvers. During the early to mid-1700s, sculptors increasingly emphasized subtle naturalism, evident here in the slightly parted lips – revealing carved teeth when viewed at an angle – and in the delicately indicated Adam’s apple (laryngeal prominence). This ivory head represents a superb example of Manila workshops at their technical peak, during a period when the colonial settlement was recognized as a global center of religious art.
Possibly due to pecuniary considerations or the unavailability of ivory of sufficient size, the uppermost portion of the head, including the finely carved tonsure, was fashioned separately from wood and surmounted onto the ivory. Based on strict classical proportions, the head would have originally belonged to a sculpture measuring approximately 36 to 42 inches in height.
Santo Domingo de Guzman or Saint Dominic (1170-1221) was a Castilian Catholic priest and founder of the Dominican Order. He and his order are traditionally credited with spreading and popularizing the rosary. The mark on the ivory forehead indicates the former presence of a star appliqué, one of the saint’s principal attributes, symbolizing the light of holiness and divine wisdom.
This ivory head has remained in the possession of the Bantug family, passed down through successive generations from their distinguished collection, beginning with the patriarch Dr. José P. Bantug (1884–1964), physician, public health educator, and author.

alla scoperta della "Galleria Henry" con gli amici di ventura Anna ed Ivo!
E' questa la più importante struttura della miniera di Planu Sartu (1865). Consentiva il trasporto dei minerali su rotaia dalle fronti di produzione alle laverie.
E' ubicata alla quota di m. 50 slm, appena al di sopra dell'abitato di Buggerru, e attraversa per circa un Km l'altipiano di Planu Sartu.
Le sue imponenti dimensioni furono determinate dall'impiego (1892) di una locomotiva a vapore che, grazie ad una avveniristica rete ferroviaria, soppiantò in breve tempo i lenti ed onerosi trasporti con i muli.
La sua unicità è costituita dal ripetuto rapporto con la falesia sul mare, attraverso piccole gallerie e camminamenti scolpiti nella roccia che consentono viste suggestive della costa a strapiombo e panorami mozzafiato.
La lotta dei battellieri di Carloforte , che trasportarono il minerale della miniera di Malfidano (oltre a quello delle principali miniere da Monteponi a Ingurtosu etc.) che noi chiamiamo Buggerru direttamente dal nome del Borgo nato attorno alla miniera, certo fu la prima manifestazione di sciopero organizzato che avveniva in Sardegna.
I battellieri lottarono contro la volontà della Direzione della miniera di abbassare il prezzo del nolo per il trasporto del minerale: uno sciopero di 12 giorni con manifestazioni anche di fronte alla casa del rappresentante, un certo Jacomy, della Società Mineraria Malfidano.

" Hector Julio Páride Bernabó ou Carybé (Lanús, 7 de fevereiro de 1911 — Salvador, 2 de outubro de 1997) foi um pintor, gravador, desenhista, ilustrador, ceramista, escultor, muralista, pesquisador, historiador e jornalista argentino naturalizado e radicado no Brasil.
Durante a época que morou no Rio de Janeiro, foi escoteiro. Lá, era costume cada um ser identificado por um nome de peixe e ele recebeu o apelido de de Carybé (nome de um tipo de piranha). O artista usou-o então como alcunha no lugar do seu nome de batismo, muito parecido com o do seu irmão, também pintor.[1]
Fez cinco mil trabalhos, entre pinturas, desenhos, esculturas e esboços. Ilustrou livros de Jorge Amado e Cem Anos de Solidão de Gabriel García Márquez. Era obá de Xangô, posto honorífico do candomblé. Faleceu na varanda da casa de Xangô, do Ilê Axé Opô Afonjá, lugar que adorava.
Uma parte da obra de Carybé se encontra no Museu Afro-Brasileiro de Salvador. São 27 painéis representando os orixás do candomblé da Bahia. Cada prancha apresenta um orixá com suas armas e animal litúrgico. Foram confeccionadas em madeira de cedro, com trabalhos de entalhe e incrustações de materiais diversos, para atender a uma encomenda do antigo Banco da Bahia S.A., atual Banco BBM S.A., que os instalou em sua agência da Avenida Sete de Setembro, no ano de 1968".
Héctor Julio Páride Bernabó or Carybé (Lanús, 7 February 1911 - Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, 2 October 1997) was a painter, engraver, draughtsman, illustrator, potter, sculptor, mural painter, researcher, historian and journalist. He settled in Brazil and naturalized as a Brazilian.
While living in Rio de Janeiro, he was a scout. There, scouts were nicknamed after types of fish, and he was given the nickname of Carybé (a kind of piranha). So the artist used it as an alias for his Christian name, which was very similar to his brother’s name, who was also an artist.
He produced five thousand pieces of work, including paintings, drawings, sculptures and sketches. He illustrated books by Jorge Amado as well as Gabriel Gárcia Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. He was an Obá de Xangô, an honorary position in candomblé. He died of heart failure during a session in a candomblé yard.
Some of Carybé’s work can be found in the Afro-Brazilian Museum of Salvador: 27 panels representing the orixás. of the Bahian candomblé. Each board shows an orixá with his weapons and his animal of worship. They were painted on Cedar wood, with engravings and scaling of various kinds of material. The work was commissioned by the former Banco da Bahia S.A., now Banco BBM S.A., which installed them in its branch on Avenida Sete de Setembro in 1968.
Carybé produced more than 5,000 works; his art was expressed through paintings, engravings, illustrations, wood carvings, mosaics and murals".

Snow falls on a desolated part of El Alto.
El Alto is the sister city of La Paz, right next to it but above, in the altiplano. While La Paz expands downwards along the valley, with the richest population leaving in the lowest parts, El Alto is growing further from it, peopled by poor immigrants from the highlands.

Samsung es una de las compañías de las que más se está hablando en estos días en el IFA 2014 que se está celebrando en Berlín. Si ayer ya nos sorprendía con el lanzamiento de su propuesta de gafas de realidad virtual, el Galaxy Gear VR, y si además hoy ha presentado su propuesta de tableta para los entornos empresariales, el Galaxy Tab Active, Samsung sigue sorprendiendo con sus lanzamiento, presentando ahora sus primeros modelos de impresoras multifunción que funcionan con el sistema operativo móvil Android, permitiendo su conectividad con la web, lo que evita la obligatoriedad de conectarles un ordenador para poder imprimir cualquier tipo de documento, permitiendo la impresión directamente desde la web, ya sea un mapa, una ilustración, un artículo, etc.
Y es que cuando se habla de Android, el sistema operativo móvil de Google, normalmente se le asocia su uso a terminales móviles como teléfonos móviles inteligentes y tabletas, aunque lo cierto es que Android también está presente en otros tipos de dispositivos, como televisores, neveras o coches, entre otros. Así que no hay nada de qué extrañarse de que vayan saliendo otros dispositivos diferentes que opten por usar Android para su manejo, total, la lista se irá ampliando a lo largo del tiempo.
En total, Samsung cuenta con diez nuevos modelos de impresoras multifunción con Android, dividida en cuatro categorías: la serie X4300 en A3 a color, la serie K4350 en A3 monocromo, la serie M5370 en A4 monocromo y la serie M4580 en A4 monocromo. Cada una de ellas cuenta con una pantalla táctil de 10,1″ cuya interfaz de usuario es similar a las de las propias tabletas, incluyendo además funciones específicas de impresión. Con ello, los usuarios ya se podrán sentir familiarizados al comenzar a usar cualquiera de los modelos de las cuatro categorías que conforman el lanzamiento de hoy, pudiendo incluso navegar por la web y obtener la impresión de aquello que desea obtener una copia en papel, dependiendo ya del modelo escogido.

According to Sino Hotel Guide:
The Hall of Abstinence is located near the western entrance of the Temple of Heaven. It is encircled by two walls. The Inner wall is called Brick City, and the outer wall is called the Purple Wall. To further ensure the safety of the emperor, a moat was built to surround the Purple Wall.
A bell tower, two stone pavilions and a beamless hall are the main structures here. The bell tower is in the northeast corner of the Hall of Abstinence. Before each ceremony. bells would be struck when the emperor left for the Circular Altar Mound and would not stop until the emperor arrived, After the ceremony, the bells would be struck again.
Of the two stone pavilions, the right pavilion kept time while the left one has a bronze plate with the word "fasting" engraved on it as a constant reminder to the emperor to observe fasting rules. The beamless hall was one of the most famous buildings in Beijing. A blue-tiled roof atop the hall symbolized that the emperor must always acknowledge the Supremacy of the Heavenly Emperor.
Before each ceremony, emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held a three-day fast during Spring, Summer and Winter. The emperors spent two days fasting in the Forbidden City and completed the three-day fast in the Hall of Abstinence.
During the three days, the emperor could not drink wine. He could only eat vegetables, but not garlic or onions. The emperor couldn't have any entertainment, nor could he handle any state affairs. Also, he had to be away from women. Naturally, such restrictions could be difficult for any emperor who was accustomed to all these luxuries.
