Had one of those âaha, thatâs how they get that effectâ moments while editing this.
Earlier today, I moved one of the heaviest pieces of furniture. My body is wasted as a result. The pain is less if I donât move. Really was wishing for a remote during this shoot.
Documentation of 'Works From Faraway + Works From Home', a Residency-in-Your-Room project by Elizabeth Kezia Widjaja, Spring 2020. She writes:
Distance - both physically & mentally - has built a comfortable nest for my solitude. While I'm striving towards self reconciliation, what's happening in the recent weeks has brought into surface (...of the phone screen) the urgency of human connection. People scramble to the search bar, finding accounts and slide into dm(s). We now acknowledge 'social connection' more than anything, maybe by writing about it or making a podcast as it's becoming a prominent issue now. While I'm still confused about my lack of urge to seek these connections, I thought that it's the best time to give something to my friends. Rather than fulfilling my needs of human interaction, it is as if paying hommage and being grateful for the past relationships that I've had in my life.
So I asked my dear friends to send me a picture of objects that they would like to see up close, but couldn't because of the current situation. I myself am curious of what they are seeing and what they are doing, but couldn't as well (even before this, I couldn't because these people are all living in lands far far away from me!). I initially intend to reproduce the pictures by zooming in, but the concept kinda leans towards voyeurism. I thought I want to stay true to my friends' intentions in each of their photos, but it is impossible because my act of taking their pictures and modifying them is definitely an intervention towards their belongings.
The name of each file is the location of where my friends at when they took the original photo.

Physically ruined while caught in Planet Namek's explosion after Goku defeats him, what remained of the still-living Frieza was salvaged and rebuilt with cybernetic enhancements by scientists under the order of King Cold.
The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.
These pictures from Gansu province were taken during a nine-day trip in May 2015. Gansu is a province at the geographical heart of China. Its capital, Lanzhou, is pretty close to the center of the country as can be from what I can tell by looking at maps.
Gansu, though, is most certainly considered west China by the Chinese. Physically, the province reminds me of a small dumbbell sitting on an angle. Thereâs a southern (southeastern) section that is slightly large and has a high elevation (often between 2,000-3,000 meters) with a higher concentration of Muslims and Tibetans than most other areas of China. When you get closer to Xiahe, where Labrang Monastery is located, road signs are both in Tibetan and Mandarin. The LP 2011 had listed three places of interest in southern Gansu: Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, Labrang Monstery in Xiahe (listed as one of the 30 âMust Dosâ in China), and Langmusi down on the Sichuan border. I had originally intended to visit all three places, but ended up dropping Langmusi â the Alpine village â and spending an extra day out west.
So all told in the south, I spent a few overcast hours in Hezuo at Milarepa Palace (as quirky as I recall LP saying it is, but also something I could have done without) before spending two nights at the Overseas Tibetan Hotel about 100 meters outside the eastern gate of Labrang Monastery in Xiahe. Xiahe was mesmerizing to me. It reminded me a little of some western US towns: one wide, main street that runs the length of town and most of the buildings are two- or three-story establishments.
Xiahe is around 3,300 meters in elevation, so altitude sickness is mentioned a few times, though I never experienced any type of nausea. I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel (not extravagant, but nice and comfortable beds), the owner (Lohsang Amso â a good man â who can also arrange bike rental, local and regional travel, etc.) and the good folks a few doors down at the Snowy Mountain Cafe â which seems to only be open in the evening â but where you can eat yakâŚwhich I did. One night, I had Nepalese yak curry (Nepalese chicken curry the other night). Other than that, I was amazed at how close (and countless) the stars in the night sky seemed to be, but given the altitude and lack of surface light, it wasnât unexpectedâŚjust amazing.
Having spent the previous day on a morning flight from Chengdu to Lanzhou (one provincial capital to another), an hour bus ride from Lanzhou Airport downtown, another 45 minute taxi ride across town (through horrendous traffic), a 4 hour bus ride from Lanzhou down to southern Gansu that ended in Hezuo, an hour or two at Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, then finally another 1-2 hour bus from Hezuo to Xiahe, I finally found myself plopping down on my bed at the Overseas TibetanâŚsometime in early evening.
Though things didnât go exactly as planned, they were close enough and I really had no complaints. My biggest surprise was the number of mosques I saw en route to Xiahe. (I hadnât realized that the Muslim population in this particular region was quite so large.)
Upon waking the following morning â it was a Monday, I recall â I made the incredibly short walk to the Labrang Monastery. Labrang Monastery is a fascinating place. It was founded in 1709 by Ngagong Tsunde (first generation of the third in line behind the Dalai and Panchen Lamas). It is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat sect) order of Tibetan Buddhism. Three of the other six are near Lhasa, one near Shigatse, and the other near Xining (Qinghai province).
This is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple (if I remember reading correctly) outside Tibet. To walk the entire kora (circumference of the temple with prayer wheels) is over a 3 km endeavor, which I undertook on that Monday morning.
It was a pleasant walk, rife with photographic opportunities â people donât mind having their pictures taken, though the Tibetan monksâŚnot so much. They had to give their permission, and usually didnât want to, which was fine by me. Around the back (north) side of the monastery, thereâs an outer kora trail up the mountain that would give a nice view, but I was frankly too lazy to take it (and didnât find it, anyway).
And the people. Photographing people here (monks or otherwise) is justâŚa treasure trove waiting to happen. Regarding the monks living here, there apparently used to be about four thousand, but limits have been set to around 1,800 now. (All Iâll say is, like most places in China, the Cultural Revolution was none too kind...)
After walking the kora, I hung out at Everest Cafe (Lohsangâs restaurant at the Overseas Tibetan) for a no frills breakfast, then spent the remainder of the morning with a tour of the interior of the temple and wandering around the grounds. The monastery has a few different temples, monastic colleges, living residencesâŚitâs really quite a large compound.
The day had started sunny, but by sundown was turning pretty cloudy, so no great sunset shots to be had here, and it was getting a bit chilly in the evening at that altitude, so as soon as it was evident there wouldnât be any more shooting, I went on over to Snowy Mountain for a relaxing dinner alone before retiring to my room for the night. Tuesday morning found me on another long travel day via bus, taxi, and trainâŚto the opposite side of the province: western Gansu province, which was almost like another planet.
Because New Zealand has been physically isolated from other land masses for a very long time - some 90 million years - it has developed unique biota (plants and animals) found nowhere else in the world. These are called endemic species. The native forest of New Zealand contain a wide variety of endemic plant species, but when it comes to endemic animals, they are not so obvious, except for the birds.
New Zealand has an interesting and very unique bird population. We have already talked about the Kiwi, which is New Zealand's endemic bird par excellence, but there are many others. One of these is the New Zealand pigeon. It looks like an ordinary pigeon (in size and in the way it flies and moves), but has distinctive colours: shiny green-purple plumage on the head, throat, back and wings, and a white breast with red eyes, feet and bill. It eats fruits and is found all over New Zealand. It was once very abundant, but its numbers have been declining since the possum and several species of rats have been introduced to the islands. These compete with the pigeons for fruits and prey on their eggs and nestlings.
The two of me are always there forever.
Virtually I am here. Not physically.
Well Pakdin is still sicken with severe back pain. I mean this is not regular type of pain. I just could not sit for a long time, I could not have proper sleep. I tried everything from traditional massage to bekam to super-natural. I was in and out of the hospital, I was in physiotherapy. I had x-rays, I had MRI and none was there to suggest anything serious. But pain just doesn't go away. I have many theories from friends that I need to verify from specialists. But checks with my supernatural sifus say that I have no hantu spirits tied up on my back from faraway forests that I have visited. That was assuring. Also none of my many (?) anemies or former girlfriends sent in some santau that I once worried. The most credible ones would be either due to some injuries to the old nephrectomy scars or stiffened nerves due to chemotherapy after effect.
Or both.
I have to take tonnes of pain-killers everyday. I even had morphine patch.
Because of this "problem" I can't walk for a long distance, and I missed out door trips. I can't take photos of my favorite wildflowers. Occasionally my students would drop by with flower for macro-photographs. I have to do it in this room.
Because of this problem I cannot do much flickring. Sorry if I do not put comments on your photo. I hope I will be back online sooner.

This photograph was taken while physically standing on Taku Glacier. Taku Glacier is a tidewater glacier located in Taku Inlet in the U.S. state of Alaska, just southeast of the city of Juneau. It is nestled in the Coast Mountains and originates in the Juneau Icefield. It is the largest glacier in the icefield and one of the southernmost tidewater glaciers of the northern hemisphere.

Physically, the An-124 is similar to the American Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, but is slightly larger. An-124s have been used to carry locomotives, yachts, aircraft fuselages, and a variety of other oversized cargoes. The An-124 is able to kneel to allow easier front loading. Up to 150 tonnes of cargo can be carried in a military An-124: it can also carry 88 passengers in an upper deck behind the cockpit.
Of the tri-murti of Siva, Vishnu and Brahma, Braham is rarely physically represented or has temples devoted the concept of Brahma,
Here in Pushkar the lake is sacred to Brahma, hence the
presence of the Mandir and Brahma murti.
Often Brahma is seen as part of "Ananthasyanam" where Brahma emerges on a lotus from the navel of Vishnu, who is reclining on Anantha the serpent
Effectively this is a consideration of Vishnu ( the Preserver or Continuity of the created universe ) and Time ( Anantha the serpent ) - ie the Time and Space continuum, giving rise to Creation ( Brahma ). All Hindusim at its core has extremely valid and pertinent observations of physics as well as philosophy, one has to look beyond the murtis and images which are merely objective ways of transmitting this ideas through countless generations.

Not to a new Flickr, but physically moved where I live. I am done with the dorms and am renting a house with some friends. I can't wait to try out my new locations! Due to either Flickr or user error (lets face it, it was probably user) many of my pictures seem to have disappeared! I'm re-uploading what I believe is most of them, but if you remember one and can't find it let me know! Digging through my external harddrive is tough stuff, and I've probably missed a few photos.

It was a pleasant walk, rife with photographic opportunities â people donât mind having their pictures taken, though the Tibetan monksâŚnot so much. They had to give their permission, and usually didnât want to, which was fine by me. Around the back (north) side of the monastery, thereâs an outer kora trail up the mountain that would give a nice view, but I was frankly too lazy to take it (and didnât find it, anyway).
And the people. Photographing people here (monks or otherwise) is justâŚa treasure trove waiting to happen. Regarding the monks living here, there apparently used to be about four thousand, but limits have been set to around 1,800 now. (All Iâll say is, like most places in China, the Cultural Revolution was none too kind...)
After walking the kora, I hung out at Everest Cafe (Lohsangâs restaurant at the Overseas Tibetan) for a no frills breakfast, then spent the remainder of the morning with a tour of the interior of the temple and wandering around the grounds. The monastery has a few different temples, monastic colleges, living residencesâŚitâs really quite a large compound.
The day had started sunny, but by sundown was turning pretty cloudy, so no great sunset shots to be had here, and it was getting a bit chilly in the evening at that altitude, so as soon as it was evident there wouldnât be any more shooting, I went on over to Snowy Mountain for a relaxing dinner alone before retiring to my room for the night. Tuesday morning found me on another long travel day via bus, taxi, and trainâŚto the opposite side of the province: western Gansu province, which was almost like another planet.
Yesterday night, October 7th 2015, a large group of settlers harassed, insulted and physically assaulted Palestinian residents and internationals in the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood of occupied al-Khalil (Hebron), injuring several. Around 08:00 pm, more than 50 settlers from the illegal settlements within al-Khalil, most of them children and teenagers, accompanied by a few adults, marched around the Palestinian neighbourhood of Tel Rumeida, chanting insults and hate-speech, calling for the death of Arabs. The group was not only chanting racist abuse, but also demonstrated a high level of violence and aggression towards the Palestinian residents of the neighbourhood. After marching through the streets loudly chanting, they attacked Palestinians right outside a shop, running towards them and beating them, and hurling rocks at Palestinian youth and internationals documenting these violent assaults. Instead of intervening, Israeli forces watched these attacks happen at first just to point their loaded guns at Palestinians that just a few seconds before were standing in a hail of stones, threatening to shoot. Two persons were injured with stones thrown by the settlers, a Palestinian youth in his hand and an international in his chest. In the meantime, the settlers openly picked up more stones and rocks from the ground, attacking families that opened their main gates to find out what the shouting was about. Again, instead of preventing or stopping attacks by the settlers, the army violently pushed Palestinians to move back into their homes, yelling at them. All complaints made by Palestinians against the attacks by the settlers were ignored by the soldiers. But not only the settlers, also the Israeli soldiers violently attacked several Palestinians and beat them. Read more and watch the video: ift.tt/1MguwdZ - ift.tt/1LBQOfG

These pictures from Gansu province were taken during a nine-day trip in May 2015. Gansu is a province at the geographical heart of China. Its capital, Lanzhou, is pretty close to the center of the country as can be from what I can tell by looking at maps.
Gansu, though, is most certainly considered west China by the Chinese. Physically, the province reminds me of a small dumbbell sitting on an angle. Thereâs a southern (southeastern) section that is slightly large and has a high elevation (often between 2,000-3,000 meters) with a higher concentration of Muslims and Tibetans than most other areas of China. When you get closer to Xiahe, where Labrang Monastery is located, road signs are both in Tibetan and Mandarin. The LP 2011 had listed three places of interest in southern Gansu: Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, Labrang Monstery in Xiahe (listed as one of the 30 âMust Dosâ in China), and Langmusi down on the Sichuan border. I had originally intended to visit all three places, but ended up dropping Langmusi â the Alpine village â and spending an extra day out west.
So all told in the south, I spent a few overcast hours in Hezuo at Milarepa Palace (as quirky as I recall LP saying it is, but also something I could have done without) before spending two nights at the Overseas Tibetan Hotel about 100 meters outside the eastern gate of Labrang Monastery in Xiahe. Xiahe was mesmerizing to me. It reminded me a little of some western US towns: one wide, main street that runs the length of town and most of the buildings are two- or three-story establishments.
Xiahe is around 3,300 meters in elevation, so altitude sickness is mentioned a few times, though I never experienced any type of nausea. I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel (not extravagant, but nice and comfortable beds), the owner (Lohsang Amso â a good man â who can also arrange bike rental, local and regional travel, etc.) and the good folks a few doors down at the Snowy Mountain Cafe â which seems to only be open in the evening â but where you can eat yakâŚwhich I did. One night, I had Nepalese yak curry (Nepalese chicken curry the other night). Other than that, I was amazed at how close (and countless) the stars in the night sky seemed to be, but given the altitude and lack of surface light, it wasnât unexpectedâŚjust amazing.
Having spent the previous day on a morning flight from Chengdu to Lanzhou (one provincial capital to another), an hour bus ride from Lanzhou Airport downtown, another 45 minute taxi ride across town (through horrendous traffic), a 4 hour bus ride from Lanzhou down to southern Gansu that ended in Hezuo, an hour or two at Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, then finally another 1-2 hour bus from Hezuo to Xiahe, I finally found myself plopping down on my bed at the Overseas TibetanâŚsometime in early evening.
Though things didnât go exactly as planned, they were close enough and I really had no complaints. My biggest surprise was the number of mosques I saw en route to Xiahe. (I hadnât realized that the Muslim population in this particular region was quite so large.)
Upon waking the following morning â it was a Monday, I recall â I made the incredibly short walk to the Labrang Monastery. Labrang Monastery is a fascinating place. It was founded in 1709 by Ngagong Tsunde (first generation of the third in line behind the Dalai and Panchen Lamas). It is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat sect) order of Tibetan Buddhism. Three of the other six are near Lhasa, one near Shigatse, and the other near Xining (Qinghai province).
This is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple (if I remember reading correctly) outside Tibet. To walk the entire kora (circumference of the temple with prayer wheels) is over a 3 km endeavor, which I undertook on that Monday morning.

Training golden eagles to hunt is physically and mentally demanding. Young Nurguli needs all her strength and a great deal of focus to call her eagle to come to her from a perch at the top of the hill and to land on her gloved arm. The powerful bird nearly knocks Nurguli over as it comes into land. You need to keep your bare skin well away from raptor beaks and claws: many an eagle hunter â including one of Nurguliâs uncles â bears the scars of eagle handling gone wrong!

These pictures from Gansu province were taken during a nine-day trip in May 2015. Gansu is a province at the geographical heart of China. Its capital, Lanzhou, is pretty close to the center of the country as can be from what I can tell by looking at maps.
Gansu, though, is most certainly considered west China by the Chinese. Physically, the province reminds me of a small dumbbell sitting on an angle. Thereâs a southern (southeastern) section that is slightly large and has a high elevation (often between 2,000-3,000 meters) with a higher concentration of Muslims and Tibetans than most other areas of China. When you get closer to Xiahe, where Labrang Monastery is located, road signs are both in Tibetan and Mandarin. The LP 2011 had listed three places of interest in southern Gansu: Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, Labrang Monstery in Xiahe (listed as one of the 30 âMust Dosâ in China), and Langmusi down on the Sichuan border. I had originally intended to visit all three places, but ended up dropping Langmusi â the Alpine village â and spending an extra day out west.
So all told in the south, I spent a few overcast hours in Hezuo at Milarepa Palace (as quirky as I recall LP saying it is, but also something I could have done without) before spending two nights at the Overseas Tibetan Hotel about 100 meters outside the eastern gate of Labrang Monastery in Xiahe. Xiahe was mesmerizing to me. It reminded me a little of some western US towns: one wide, main street that runs the length of town and most of the buildings are two- or three-story establishments.
Xiahe is around 3,300 meters in elevation, so altitude sickness is mentioned a few times, though I never experienced any type of nausea. I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel (not extravagant, but nice and comfortable beds), the owner (Lohsang Amso â a good man â who can also arrange bike rental, local and regional travel, etc.) and the good folks a few doors down at the Snowy Mountain Cafe â which seems to only be open in the evening â but where you can eat yakâŚwhich I did. One night, I had Nepalese yak curry (Nepalese chicken curry the other night). Other than that, I was amazed at how close (and countless) the stars in the night sky seemed to be, but given the altitude and lack of surface light, it wasnât unexpectedâŚjust amazing.
Having spent the previous day on a morning flight from Chengdu to Lanzhou (one provincial capital to another), an hour bus ride from Lanzhou Airport downtown, another 45 minute taxi ride across town (through horrendous traffic), a 4 hour bus ride from Lanzhou down to southern Gansu that ended in Hezuo, an hour or two at Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, then finally another 1-2 hour bus from Hezuo to Xiahe, I finally found myself plopping down on my bed at the Overseas TibetanâŚsometime in early evening.
Though things didnât go exactly as planned, they were close enough and I really had no complaints. My biggest surprise was the number of mosques I saw en route to Xiahe. (I hadnât realized that the Muslim population in this particular region was quite so large.)
Upon waking the following morning â it was a Monday, I recall â I made the incredibly short walk to the Labrang Monastery. Labrang Monastery is a fascinating place. It was founded in 1709 by Ngagong Tsunde (first generation of the third in line behind the Dalai and Panchen Lamas). It is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat sect) order of Tibetan Buddhism. Three of the other six are near Lhasa, one near Shigatse, and the other near Xining (Qinghai province).
This is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple (if I remember reading correctly) outside Tibet. To walk the entire kora (circumference of the temple with prayer wheels) is over a 3 km endeavor, which I undertook on that Monday morning.
It was a pleasant walk, rife with photographic opportunities â people donât mind having their pictures taken, though the Tibetan monksâŚnot so much. They had to give their permission, and usually didnât want to, which was fine by me. Around the back (north) side of the monastery, thereâs an outer kora trail up the mountain that would give a nice view, but I was frankly too lazy to take it (and didnât find it, anyway).
And the people. Photographing people here (monks or otherwise) is justâŚa treasure trove waiting to happen. Regarding the monks living here, there apparently used to be about four thousand, but limits have been set to around 1,800 now. (All Iâll say is, like most places in China, the Cultural Revolution was none too kind...)
After walking the kora, I hung out at Everest Cafe (Lohsangâs restaurant at the Overseas Tibetan) for a no frills breakfast, then spent the remainder of the morning with a tour of the interior of the temple and wandering around the grounds. The monastery has a few different temples, monastic colleges, living residencesâŚitâs really quite a large compound.
The day had started sunny, but by sundown was turning pretty cloudy, so no great sunset shots to be had here, and it was getting a bit chilly in the evening at that altitude, so as soon as it was evident there wouldnât be any more shooting, I went on over to Snowy Mountain for a relaxing dinner alone before retiring to my room for the night. Tuesday morning found me on another long travel day via bus, taxi, and trainâŚto the opposite side of the province: western Gansu province, which was almost like another planet.

Grand Canyon: is one of the most physically & mentally demanding trips at VVS. After a service project for the National Park Service, students descend into the Canyon, covering over 5,000 feet of descent, shouldering packs containing food, clothing and necessities for the next 10 days. Students cover over 50 miles, as well as an additional 25 miles of day hikes. On the final day they ascend over 4,000 feet. In return, students are exposed to some of the most breathtaking scenery in North America, from the rim of the canyon to swimming in the Colorado, to impressive slot canyons and waterfalls.

Morris Ginsberg: An Obituary (LSE Magazine, December 1970, No 40) â by Donald G. MacRae
âThe death of Morris Ginsberg at the age of 81 does much more than sever a link with LSE going back in one form or another to 1911. Although physically frail in his latter years his mind was as powerful, as clear, as interested and as sceptical as ever down until the time of his death, an he was busily engaged in the planning of a new volume of essays. For long he has been the greatest British sociologist. During many years he had carried the burden of sociology in this country almost alone. What the subject has of rigour, order, clarity, scholarship, creative doubt and humane concern in 1970 is the legacy, above all of Ginsberg.
He was born in 1899 in one of the smaller communities of the Russian Empire. Coming to England as a lad he was fired by a faith in this country largely through reading a Hebrew translation of George Eliotâs Daniel Deronda â he always insisted that George Eliot read better in Hebrew, a thought that might have pleased that author. He performed brilliantly in philosophy at University College London, and became an authority on Melebranche â he published a translation of the Entretiens of 1688 in 1923. British critical realism attracted him and dominated the philosophical concerns that continued through his life. By 1911 he was drawn to LSE by Hobhouse and the new liberal sociology of Westermarck. The Manchester Guardian circle of these years deeply influenced his political outlook. In 1915 along with Hobhouse and Wheeler he published what is still a classic of comparative and statistical sociology. The Material Culture and Social Institutions of the Simpler Peoples. (Those who think of him as an essentially non-quantitative sociology should also remember his remarkable pioneering work of the 1920âs on social mobility.)
After war service â he was a sergeant engaged on the dangerous business of bringing ammunition-laden mule-teams up to the line on the Western Front â he returned to academic life in London, moving from University College (the Fellowship of which was one of his most prized honours) fully to LSE where in due course and one would think inevitably became the Martin White Professor of Sociology in succession to Hobhouse in 1929. He held this chair until 1954, but taught actively at the school even after retirement.
During these years he did important work in social psychology and in 1934 published his Sociology which in its brief compass, its learning in the European tradition of the subject, its succinct force, remains a classic. The crises of the 30âs actively involved him in the tasks of rescue and re-settlement of refugee scholars. When the School was evacuated to Cambridge during the second German war he carried with a success that was to leave him exhausted in 1945 an almost incredible range and burden of teaching. Yet on return to London he re-established and extended the LSE Department on the shoulders of which then rested the total responsibility for the development of sociology in Britain.
In all this the support and happiness of his marriage to Ethel Street made his tasks possible. Her long and tragic illness and death was to cloud his old age. His capacity for friendship, for kindness and concern was great and discriminating. He was shy and reserved, even bleak in manner, yet he was at heart warm and eminently practical. He did not fuss, so people under-estimated his human, scholarly and administrative achievements. With difficulty I persuaded him to publish the three volumes of his Essays in Sociology and Social Philosophy (1956-61). Their success delighted him. Their importance is not exhausted: spare in style, always clear, to many people they have seemed essentially critical and exegetical. But this is not the case. Too scrupulous in his debt to Hobhouse and Westermarck he concealed his own originality and wealth of analysis. He made much dangerous nonsense henceforth impossible. He greatly advanced a comparative and institutional sociology at once creative and highly disciplined. His concern with the quality of social life and his sense of rigour made him in my judgement almost the only social philosopher of our age.
The influence of his teaching, he was an almost perfect if austere lecturer, has been international. His rationalism, his short term pessimism and longer term hope annoyed the passionate and impatient. Yet they gained from his wise stoicism and deep concern. His humour was private and not always kind, but it was without malice. (How, he reflected, could Malinowski have found more to say about the Trobriands than Gibbon on the fall of Rome?) His loyalty to those he loved never faltered. There is so much that one has no room to say here about him: suffice it to establish that he was one of those who made his subject out of stubborn fact and complexity, made the LSE both unique and great among institutions of higher learning, and who helped his friends and students to endure.â

Being fit, both physically and nutritionally is extremely important when planning for pregnancy as it does not only affect your chances of conception but also the development of the baby. Having a fit body will positively affect the pregnancy and the soon to arrive baby.
Being fit starts with having a healthy diet. It is even more critical when you are planning for pregnancy or if you are pregnant. This does not mean that you need to go on a special diet. All you need to do is ensure that you eat a variety of foods every day to get the right balance of nutrients for you and your baby. Pregnancy is a crucial time for women to eat more iron, calcium, protein, vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin C, Magnesium, Selenium and Zinc Needed in that time. These all nutritionâs are found in the natural foods and natural vegetables and fruits.

The previous night was draining, both mentally, and physically. I finally managed to drag myself out of bed at two in the afternoon the next day. I made myself a shitty breakfast of Fruit Loops and cheap coffee, and then got to research.
Well, I found out what Marlowe's "Vick's-Vapo-Glove" thing actually does. It's a device, that at the very simplest implodes a person's atoms. That's a nasty way to go. I also found out it was for a "secret military project". Wonder if they know he's been test driving it after work. Marlowe's streak of terror is going to end today, and it won't be pretty...

WHO says fully vaccinated should wear masks and physically distance as Covid infections surge
KEY POINTS
â âEven if youâre vaccinated, continue to take precautions to prevent becoming infected yourself, and to infecting someone else who could die,â WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
â âThat means wearing a mask, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds and meeting others outside if you can, or in a well-ventilated space inside,â he said.
â Though the majority of reported Covid cases worldwide are in Europe, Tedros added that âno country or region is out of the woodsâ just yet.
The World Health Organization is urging the public to practice Covid mitigation tactics â including masking and distancing â regardless of vaccination status as cases surge across Europe heading into the holiday season.
Some countries and communities have been lured into a âfalse sense of securityâ that the pandemicâs over and the vaccinated are fully protected against Covid, WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters during an update Wednesday in Geneva.
He noted that Covid vaccines âsave livesâ and lower the risk of severe disease and death, but the vaccinated can still contract and spread the virus as social mixing returns to pre-pandemic levels.
âEven if youâre vaccinated, continue to take precautions to prevent becoming infected yourself, and to infecting someone else who could die,â Tedros said. âThat means wearing a mask, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds and meeting others outside if you can, or in a well-ventilated space inside.â
Tedros called Europe âthe epicenter of the pandemic,â with âunsustainable pressureâ facing both health-care systems and personnel. Europe represented 67% of the worldâs total new Covid cases during the week ended Nov. 21 with more than 2.4 million infections, an 11% increase from the previous seven days, according to the WHOâs most recent weekly epidemiological update.
The WHOâs office covering Europe and Central Asia said Tuesday that those regions have surpassed a combined 1.5 million Covid deaths and could suffer 700,000 more fatalities by March 2022. The organization expects that intensive care units in 49 of the regionâs 53 countries could experience high or extreme stress over the next four months.
Governments rolling back public health measures are fueling Europeâs current outbreak, said Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHOâs Health Emergencies Program.
âIn Europe, even in the midst of a very, very strong resurgence in cases, and even in the midst of some of those countries under huge pressure in their health systems, weâre seeing pre-pandemic levels of social mixing, gathering and many other things,â Ryan said. âAnd the reality is the virus will continue to transmit intensely in that environment.â
Though the majority of reported Covid cases worldwide are in Europe, Tedros added that âno country or region is out of the woodsâ just yet. But expanding vaccination coverage, wearing masks, using distancing, and improving ventilation indoors can help drive down Covid transmission without resorting to lockdowns heading into the holiday season, said Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHOâs technical lead on Covid.
Covid infections are also rising in the U.S., with more than 95,000 new cases reported daily on average, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. More than 1,100 people are dying a day in the U.S. from the virus on average, according to Hopkins.
More than 51,000 Americans are currently hospitalized with Covid-19, according to a seven-day average of Health and Human Services data as of Wednesday, up 7% over the past week.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says unvaccinated individuals ages 2 and older should wear a mask in indoor public settings. The fully vaccinated should wear facial coverings indoors or in crowded outdoor areas in places with elevated Covid transmission, according to the agency. The CDC also requires masks onboard planes, trains and buses, as well as within all transportation centers.
CDC guidance also advises six feet of distance between people who donât live in the same household, particularly for those at high risk for severe Covid symptoms.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and a Pfizer board member, told CNBC that more vaccinated people are contracting the virus than people realize due to weak monitoring of breakthrough infections in the U.S.
âAt this point I think we need to accept that thereâs a lot of breakthrough infections happening, particularly people who are out a significant portion of time from their original vaccination,â Gottlieb said. âThereâs going to be retrospective studies that identify this, but weâre not doing a good job of tracking this in real time. And this is the argument for people to go out and get boosters,â he said.
The U.S. cleared Pfizer and Moderna boosters for all adults on Friday. Johnson & Johnson boosters were cleared by the CDC in October. The WHO has criticized the broad distribution of boosters in wealthy nations because people in poorer countries have very limited access to vaccines.
The Netherlands entered a partial lockdown on Saturday, while Austriaâs fourth full Covid lockdown began on Monday, with a nationwide vaccine mandate taking effect Feb. 1. Germany is also weighing whether to introduce a lockdown as the countryâs seven-day new case average reached a record-high of more than 53,100 per day on Tuesday, up 29% from the week before, according to a CNBC analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University.
The White House on Monday said the Biden administration has no plans for a lockdown, pointing to rising vaccination rates and new therapeutic treatments that are coming online. The U.S. government has purchased 10 million courses of Pfizerâs Covid treatment pill, Paxlovid, which demonstrated high efficacy in preventing hospitalizations during a clinical trial.
âWe can curb the spread of the virus without having to in any way shut down our economy,â White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters during a briefing. âWe have 82% of people now with one shot and more and more people getting vaccinated each week.â

The most physically beautiful people I have encountered live in Athens. The land of the Greek gods, legends and myths and the Acropolis, Athens' is a cosmopolitan landscape of bars and shopping. But this landscape bears nothing against its historic landscape of Seven Hills and majestic Parthenon.
Stuntman I scanographic print
This print is the result of physically manipulating an advertisement from the early 70s (in a comic book) during the scanning process. What remains is instantly recognizable to anyone who was a boy in the 70s, but most of the words and pictures no longer depict or describe what they once did. Some text can be read, some can be at least partly deciphered, and some has been reduced to shapes. What is left is a blast of nostalgia without the advertising copy that would now be pointless. (Plus, who wants to be clearly reminded of the toys they wanted so badly but never got in 1975?)
Cleaned up, recolored, adjusted, and variously messed with digitally, but the strange shapes, reflections and color breakage are all from the scanning process. Photoshop filters and effects were not used.

These pictures from Gansu province were taken during a nine-day trip in May 2015. Gansu is a province at the geographical heart of China. Its capital, Lanzhou, is pretty close to the center of the country as can be from what I can tell by looking at maps.
Gansu, though, is most certainly considered west China by the Chinese. Physically, the province reminds me of a small dumbbell sitting on an angle. Thereâs a southern (southeastern) section that is slightly large and has a high elevation (often between 2,000-3,000 meters) with a higher concentration of Muslims and Tibetans than most other areas of China. When you get closer to Xiahe, where Labrang Monastery is located, road signs are both in Tibetan and Mandarin. The LP 2011 had listed three places of interest in southern Gansu: Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, Labrang Monstery in Xiahe (listed as one of the 30 âMust Dosâ in China), and Langmusi down on the Sichuan border. I had originally intended to visit all three places, but ended up dropping Langmusi â the Alpine village â and spending an extra day out west.
So all told in the south, I spent a few overcast hours in Hezuo at Milarepa Palace (as quirky as I recall LP saying it is, but also something I could have done without) before spending two nights at the Overseas Tibetan Hotel about 100 meters outside the eastern gate of Labrang Monastery in Xiahe. Xiahe was mesmerizing to me. It reminded me a little of some western US towns: one wide, main street that runs the length of town and most of the buildings are two- or three-story establishments.
Xiahe is around 3,300 meters in elevation, so altitude sickness is mentioned a few times, though I never experienced any type of nausea. I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel (not extravagant, but nice and comfortable beds), the owner (Lohsang Amso â a good man â who can also arrange bike rental, local and regional travel, etc.) and the good folks a few doors down at the Snowy Mountain Cafe â which seems to only be open in the evening â but where you can eat yakâŚwhich I did. One night, I had Nepalese yak curry (Nepalese chicken curry the other night). Other than that, I was amazed at how close (and countless) the stars in the night sky seemed to be, but given the altitude and lack of surface light, it wasnât unexpectedâŚjust amazing.
Having spent the previous day on a morning flight from Chengdu to Lanzhou (one provincial capital to another), an hour bus ride from Lanzhou Airport downtown, another 45 minute taxi ride across town (through horrendous traffic), a 4 hour bus ride from Lanzhou down to southern Gansu that ended in Hezuo, an hour or two at Milarepa Palace in Hezuo, then finally another 1-2 hour bus from Hezuo to Xiahe, I finally found myself plopping down on my bed at the Overseas TibetanâŚsometime in early evening.
Though things didnât go exactly as planned, they were close enough and I really had no complaints. My biggest surprise was the number of mosques I saw en route to Xiahe. (I hadnât realized that the Muslim population in this particular region was quite so large.)
Upon waking the following morning â it was a Monday, I recall â I made the incredibly short walk to the Labrang Monastery. Labrang Monastery is a fascinating place. It was founded in 1709 by Ngagong Tsunde (first generation of the third in line behind the Dalai and Panchen Lamas). It is one of the six major monasteries of the Gelugpa (Yellow Hat sect) order of Tibetan Buddhism. Three of the other six are near Lhasa, one near Shigatse, and the other near Xining (Qinghai province).
This is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple (if I remember reading correctly) outside Tibet. To walk the entire kora (circumference of the temple with prayer wheels) is over a 3 km endeavor, which I undertook on that Monday morning.
It was a pleasant walk, rife with photographic opportunities â people donât mind having their pictures taken, though the Tibetan monksâŚnot so much. They had to give their permission, and usually didnât want to, which was fine by me. Around the back (north) side of the monastery, thereâs an outer kora trail up the mountain that would give a nice view, but I was frankly too lazy to take it (and didnât find it, anyway).
And the people. Photographing people here (monks or otherwise) is justâŚa treasure trove waiting to happen. Regarding the monks living here, there apparently used to be about four thousand, but limits have been set to around 1,800 now. (All Iâll say is, like most places in China, the Cultural Revolution was none too kind...)
After walking the kora, I hung out at Everest Cafe (Lohsangâs restaurant at the Overseas Tibetan) for a no frills breakfast, then spent the remainder of the morning with a tour of the interior of the temple and wandering around the grounds. The monastery has a few different temples, monastic colleges, living residencesâŚitâs really quite a large compound.
The day had started sunny, but by sundown was turning pretty cloudy, so no great sunset shots to be had here, and it was getting a bit chilly in the evening at that altitude, so as soon as it was evident there wouldnât be any more shooting, I went on over to Snowy Mountain for a relaxing dinner alone before retiring to my room for the night. Tuesday morning found me on another long travel day via bus, taxi, and trainâŚto the opposite side of the province: western Gansu province, which was almost like another planet.

Documentation of 'Works From Faraway + Works From Home', a Residency-in-Your-Room project by Elizabeth Kezia Widjaja, Spring 2020. She writes:
Distance - both physically & mentally - has built a comfortable nest for my solitude. While I'm striving towards self reconciliation, what's happening in the recent weeks has brought into surface (...of the phone screen) the urgency of human connection. People scramble to the search bar, finding accounts and slide into dm(s). We now acknowledge 'social connection' more than anything, maybe by writing about it or making a podcast as it's becoming a prominent issue now. While I'm still confused about my lack of urge to seek these connections, I thought that it's the best time to give something to my friends. Rather than fulfilling my needs of human interaction, it is as if paying hommage and being grateful for the past relationships that I've had in my life.
So I asked my dear friends to send me a picture of objects that they would like to see up close, but couldn't because of the current situation. I myself am curious of what they are seeing and what they are doing, but couldn't as well (even before this, I couldn't because these people are all living in lands far far away from me!). I initially intend to reproduce the pictures by zooming in, but the concept kinda leans towards voyeurism. I thought I want to stay true to my friends' intentions in each of their photos, but it is impossible because my act of taking their pictures and modifying them is definitely an intervention towards their belongings.
The name of each file is the location of where my friends at when they took the original photo.
