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.
Vivid Sydney - Macquarie Visions
The Vivid Festival ran from May 27 to June 21.

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.

Die Lachmöwe ist mit einer Länge von 38 cm und einer Flügelspannweite von 91 cm die kleinste Möwe. Sie hat lange, schlanke, spitze Flügel mit einem auffälligem zur Flügelspitze hin verbreitertem weißen Keil am Vorderrand des Handflügels. Ihre artkennzeichnende schokoladenbraune Gesichtsmaske trägt die Lachmöwe nur zur Brutzeit. Im Winter haben Lachmöwen einen weißen Kopf mit einigen graubraunen Flecken. Jungvögel bekommen diese Gesichtsmaske erst im dritten Jahr. Sie ist zugleich Ausweis für den Zugang zu den Brutkolonien. Nur Lachmöwen mit Gesichtsmasken werden dort geduldet.
English:
The black-headed gull is with a length of 38 cm and a wingspan of 91 cm, the smallest gull. She has long, slender, pointed wings,with a conspicuous towards the wing tip widened white wedge at the front edge of the hand wing. The species characteristic chocolate-brown face mask has the black-headed gull only in the breeding season. At the winter black-headed gulls have a white head with some gray-brown spots. Young birds get that face mask until the third year. It is both a badge for access to breeding colonies. Only black-headed gulls with face masks are tolerated there.
En me promenant non loin de chez moi, je suis tombé par hasard, sur ce que j'avais lu quelques jours auparavant et qui avait laissé une trace quelque part dans un coin de ma tête.
C'était un passage sur les contrastes d'Itten. D'après Itten la composition d'une image reposait sur un simple concept : les contrastes. Le plus connu étant celui entre les couleurs. D'ailleurs c'est principalement pour son étude sur les couleurs que Itten est devenu célèbre. (Il n'y a cas taper "Itten" sur google pour en être convaincu.)
Il y a pourtant une multitude d'autres éléments qui peuvent constituer des contrastes forts dans une image. C'est pourquoi Itten donnait souvent à ses élèves des exercices sur ce thème. Je me suis donc mis, ici, dans la position de l'élève appliqué et j'ai essayé de reproduire ce que j'avais lu.
J'espère donc avoir réussi à faire ressortir plusieurs contrastes et que Mr Itten m'aurait accordé la moyenne pour cet exercice :-) => droite / courbe, couleur chaude / couleur froide, lumineux / sombre, net / flou

" 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".

Somethings smokin' underneath the hood
Theres a bangin' and a clangin' and it cant be good
And it's another 50 miles to the nearest town
Everything I own's in the back in a Hefty bag
Im out of cigarettes and Im down to my last drag
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' up ahead or in the rearview mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So God help me keep me movin' somewhere

Hummingbird Community, an aspiring ecovillage in Mora, New Mexico had a
garden work party as their effort to curb climate change. We harvested
jalapenos and green bell peppers in the garden and turned the soil for
winter bedding, and joked about how we were picking hot food to cool the
climate.

حلمها التخصص في صناعة الصورايخ والمركبات الفضائية، وهي تحلق الآن في “فضاءٍ” اختارته ودنا إليها بتفوقها وتميزها، مايا رضوان نصر ابنة السبعة عشر ربيعا عادت إلى ربوع بلدتها كفرفاقود في قضاء الشوف، لتمضي إجازتها السنوية بين أهلها، لتغادر بعد أسبوع إلى الولايات المتحدة لاستكمال دراستها الأكاديمية في “جامعة ماساتشوستس الاميركية للتكنولوجيا” (MIT)، بعد أن اختارتها الجامعة كطالبة متفوقة وخصتها بمنحة لدراسة “هندسة علم الفضاء”. من مدرسة رسمية في لبنان إلى أهم الجامعات العلمية في الولايات المتحدة الأميركية، مسيرة فتية لكنها حافلة بنجاحات ما تزال مفتوحة على آفاق واسعة، وقد كان لـ green area لقاء مع مايا وحلق معها في سماء أحلامها الكبيرة، وبدت خلال اللقاء متألقة، متوثبة وفرحة بما حققت لذاتها ولبلدها. مايا من مواليد العام 1997 في بلدة كفرفاقود – قضاء الشوف، بدأت دراستها في مدرسة دميت الرسمية (مرحلة الروضة)، ومن ثم انتقلت الى مدرسة “الشوف ناسيونال كوليدج” shouf national college في بعقلين إلى أن تخرجت منها هذا العام 2014.
وأشارت إلى أنها أنهت “السنة الدراسة الجامعية الأولى بجامعة ماساتشوستس الاميركية للتكنولوجيا (MIT)”. وعن سبب اختيارها للدراسة التخصصية في واحدة من أهم الجامعات العلمية في العالم، قالت: “الجامعة لا تكشف سبب اختيار الطالب للالتحاق بها، لكن القيمين عليها قد يكونوا استندوا لعلاماتي العالية، ولا سيما في مادة الرياضيات وفي امتحاني الـ S.AT 1 والــ S.AT 2 (امتحانا دخول للجامعة في الرياضيات واللغة الانكليزية)، فضلا عن تفوقي الدائم في المدرسة ونشاطاتي في كل المجالات، إضافة إلى أنني حققت أكثر من فوز في العديد من المسابقات، وربما لكل هذه الاسباب مجتمعة تم اختياري لمتابعة الدراسة في هذه الجامعة، وهي من المرات النادرة التي يستقبل فيها هذا القسم طلابا من المنطقة العربية، إلا إذا كانوا يحملون الجنسية الاميركية”.
حلمها الـ “ناسا”
تجدر الاشارة إلى أن جامعة ماساتشوستس الاميركية للتكنولوجي (MIT)هي من الجامعات المتخصصة في علوم الفضاء، وقد اختارت نصر دراسة “هندسة علم الفضاء” Aerospace Engineering، وقالت: “مدة الدراسة أربع سنوات، ومن ثم تبدأ الدراسات العليا (الماستر والدكتوراه)، وفي الدراسة الجامعية نتعلم كل ما هو على صلة بعلوم هندسة الفضاء وليس فقط موضوعا محددا”.
وعما إذا كان طموحها أن تصل إلى وكالة الفضاء الأميركية (ناسا)، قالت بحماس: “أكيد (ناسا) أو cern (أوروبا) أو SpaceX (مؤسسة أميركية لتكنولوجيا الفضاء)، لكن (ناسا) NASA هي حلمي”.
وعما تحلم في مجال الاختصاص، إن كان التلسكوبات المتطورة أو الدفع النفاث على غرار العالم اللبناني شارل العشي، قالت نصر: “أكثر من يستهويني هو عالم الصواريخ والمركبات الفضائية، وسأسعى لتحقيق طموحاتي في هذا المجال، لأوكد أن المرأة اللبنانية بشكل خاص والمرأة بشكل عام قادرة بإرادتها أن تصل إلى أعلى المراتب وفي مجالات علمية متطورة ومتقدمة”.
وقالت “أتمنى تحقيق حلمي وأن أجعل الناس أقرب من معرفة الفضاء ودراسته، وأن اللبنانيين قادرون على الوصول إلى أعلى المراتب اذا كان لديهم الطموح”.
وشكرت نصر “عائلتي التي وقفت الى جانبي ومدرستي وأساتذتي في لبنان والـــ AMIDEAST (مؤسسة تدعم الطلاب اللبنانيين المتفوقين للتقدم الى الجامعات الأميركية)”.
أما والدها رضوان نسيب نصر، فاعتبر أن “ما حققته مايا ابنة السبعة عشر عاما هو فخر لجميع اللبنانيين”، وأثنى “على اهتمام green area في مواكبة ما وصلت اليه مايا وغيرها من الطلاب اللبنانيين المتفوقين”.
السنة الدراسية الأولى
أنهت مايا السنة الاولى بتفوق في مجال دراسة هندسة الفضاء، وقالت: “بعد اسبوع من الآن لدي حلقة تدريب Stage لشهرين في برنامج Zero Robotics الذي أعدته (الناسا) وسأكون مساعدة ومشرفة على التلامذة في المدارس الاميركية، وسنقوم من خلال هذا البرنامج بإعداد مباريات في مجال البرمجة بين التلامذة للمرحلتين المتوسطة والثانوية، فضلا عن برامج للاقمار الصناعية يعرف عنه باسم Spheres، وهو عبارة عن أقمار صناعية موجودة في الفضاء حاليا، وتحديدا في “محطة الفضاء الدولية” International Space Station المعروفة اختصارا بـ ISS”. وأشارت إلى أن “ثمة ثلاثة أقمار صناعية تدور داخل المحطة التي تدور بدورها في الفضاء”، ولفتت إلى أن “المباراة بين التلامذة ستكون حول كيفية برمجة هذه الاقمار الصناعية، والبرنامج الذي يفوز سيتم تشغيله داخل المحطة عبر التواصل مع رواد الفضاء الموجودين هناك”. وقالت نصر: “أحضر حاليا للعمل في السنة المقبلة، لكن هذه المرة داخل (الناسا) كعمل تجريبي في سياق اختصاصي، وأتمنى أن يكون هذا العمل ممهدا لبناء صاروخ دفع نفاث، خصوصا وأنني أحظى بدعم وتقدير وهناك فرص كبيرة أمامي لكن المشكلة في عدم حصولي على الجنسية حتى الآن، لأن العمل في الناسا يتطلب شروطا مشددة من بينها الحصول على الجنسية وأتمنى أن أحصل عليها في السنوات الثلاث المقبلة”. ووجهت نصر عبر green area رسالة إلى شباب لبنان قائلة: “علينا كشباب أن نواجه تحدياتنا بالعلم وأن ننسى طوائفنا وانتماءاتنا السياسة الضيقة فالعالم بات أصغر من قرية ولا يمكننا إلا أن نكون متسلحين بالعلم لمواجهة تحديات الحاضر والمستقبل في البيئة والعلوم والاقتصاد والتنمية”.

For a week, Lee and myself left the Hebrides in the hopeful search for a new home on the mainland.
We headed across Scotland to Aberdeenshire and back, so most of these photos are from this trip including the Isle of Skye.
We stayed at Glenside Stables, a stables managed by Lee's animal-mad daughter Abby! There we saw the grandchildren for the first time in months and of course the many animals including a Roe Deer.
This lovely wee creature was abandoned by its mother and is being hand reared by Abby. As a result, it follows her around like its mother, plays happily with the dogs and the children and will curl up happily with Theo, the toddler.
So thank you to Abby and family for your hospitality and here's a link to their Facebook page:
The royal couple, Lobo and Sandy, were gracious enough to pose for me a couple days ago. Lobo is particularly magnificent in my opinion. He's everything a stallion/stud should be... except for the endangering his family by taking them to the park and hanging out on the roads every night part. But just look at him. He's spectacular! And Sandy is a legend in the wild horse lover community. She's been around for years and has been with every stallion out there. Kind of like a real Mustang Ranch lady ;-) This is the band that is targeted for round-up in the next few days *sniff sniff*
Wild horse lovers, and in particular the Hidden Valley Wild Horse Association is still working to save them from round-up, and are raising funds for cattle guards and fencing to keep them out of the neighborhoods. Here is a link to their website where donations can be made

Last night was a good night.
The air was crisp and past memories flooded our minds.
We know it won’t last.
We know that tomorrow it will all be gone and everything will be as it was before.
But the feeling of freedom that I had at that moment was exhilarating.
Feeling like nothing had changed.
We were still all the innocent and sweet girls we were before.
I wished for a moment that the past didn’t exist.
That no hurt and pain had been afflicted upon the friendship that had existed.
…past tense….existed, because everything changed.
Everything changed when they came into our lives and broke the bonds that
had been there much longer than they had.
4 years of friendship and memories that were torn and broken
by these people we’d known for a short couple months.
Pictures of them flashed in my mind.
Him hugging a girl that I used to know the way he had to me.
Kissing her and making her feel like the world didn’t exist.
That’s the way he made me feel.
I felt safe with him.
If I had known they would someday be together, I would have never befriended her.
Willa was my friend and they took her away from me.
I felt betrayed by her. I hurt because I knew that it was either me or them and she chose them. After 4 years of friendship, she chose a family that we’d known for a couple months.
And Christa, the girl I had trusted and became friends with through youth group, who said she would never go out with a guy like Jeff is now hugging him, kissing him, loving him, the way I had a year ago.
So, no. I can’t forget.
I can’t let go.
I can’t move on knowing that friendship is only as strong as the influence you have over people.
I wish I could let go. I wish things could be the same as they were before, when we used to blast the music in the car and have the windows down feeling like the world had so much to offer.
But I can’t. I can’t not hate them for taking away the person I loved, my best friend, my church, my trust.
Snakes like that deserve nothing more than to burn in hell.
H, E, double hockey sticks.
