Paint it with Gold by Joseph Dsilva

1 2

I haven't really pushed myself physically much, after I was down with Hep-A in Sept, save my biking endeavors. So when my friend suggested a 10 mile hike to big basin's waterfalls, I decided it was about time to tie my hiking boots again. Ok, so keeping those boots away for all these months was a bad idea, boot bites, they are not so pleasant to deal with. But boy, am I not so glad to be back ?

This view of the lower part of the Golden Cascades caught my eye, it was interesting because of the way the water was curving down and then hit the rocks and went in a different direction. So I sat down to carve an abstract shot of the bottom of the cascades. After some fiddling I got what I was looking for.

P.S: All that Gold is not for the taking ... so all ye folks who's thinking about another "Gold Rush" Have to be disappointed. It's some weird mineral in the rocks. I haven't figured it out yet.

Obliterate by Hamish MacGuffin

Horrible, isn't? I actually did this on a couple other images first and felt physically ill; as if I'd desecrated them. This one was less horrible, I think because the subject is anonymous.

Watermarks detract from the image they're put on. Some detract more than others. I like to think that the one I have been using is subtle and doesn't wreck the image too much. However, the fact is every image is better without a watermark than with one. (I've seen images where people cleverly work the watermark into the image, but that seems like simply too much work to do on any kind of volume.) Furthermore, the photographers I respect and admire the most don't put watermarks on their images. It's true that they have distinct styles, but with so many photographers copying each other these days, if I saw a random unattributed image, I don't think I'd be able to pick the artist who made it. (And even worse than water marks is when people take a nice image a deface it with some trite misquote.)

Yet, I admit that one of the things that motivates me is getting a 'nice image' from someone every once in a while. It's true; I'm vain. And there are so many images floating around the web with the attribution dropped or even purposely removed. I care about the artist and if I see an image I like, I want to know who the artist is and see more of their work. Sometimes you can do an image search to find the source, but too often you just find hundreds of people re-sharing the same unattributed image. (And this is my main beef with Pinterest; the fact that its purpose seems to be to automate this process.)

I still have my normal watermark. I still haven't made up my mind on whether I should keep it or not. This is just something I think about sometimes. (365-014)

The Bean-Counter's Buffers at Ormskirk Station by mwmbwls

The line from Preston Ormskirk terminates here. It is physically separated by a a small gap in the track from the trains from Ormskirk to Southport by two sets of buffers and an anti dazzle screen because trains cannot dip their high visibilty safety headlight. Perhaps the more correct train stops is appropriate. The gap is necessary because it tidies up the accounting for track charges levied by Network Rail on the two trains companies that operate into Preston which is why they are known disparingly as Bean Counters buffers but there real purpose is to segragate two different signalling systems. This line uses a very traditional ticket and staff system involving the driver having a staff given to him by a controlling signaller at Rufford to allow him to enter this section of line - only trains with the staff are allowed - there is only one staff and hence only one train on the line at any one time. This system was devised inthe earliest days of the railways. Behind on the electrified line to Liverpool a fully integrated signalling system with full colour light signalling and track circuiting operates. This is based at a signalling centre at Sandhills near to Liverpool Docks controls the entire Mersey electric network. By segregating the tracks there is no need for another signalman manning what is known as a fringeing signal box to be based at Ormskirk. OPSTA, the Ormskirk, Preston and Southport Travellers Association is promoting the staged extension of electrified services from Liverpool to stations north of Ormskirk.The first step would be to electrify to Burscough, two and a half miles up the track. This would spell the end of the Bean Counters buffers.

From survivor to champion by RENEW

In 1977, two years after the Vietnam War ended, 22-year-old Phạm Quy Thi was tending his rice fields in Hai Lang District when he hit an unexploded cluster bomb. The blast claimed his right hand and caused serious damage to his abdomen. It took Thi over a year and a half to physically recover from his injuries, although a number of metal fragments remain lodged in his body even today. The emotional trauma of being permanently disabled by the cluster bomb, however, took considerably longer for Thi to overcome. But Thi was able to persist, he got married, and now he is the proud father of three young, successful adults.

Thi is an active member of the local disability community where he lives. His leadership role has helped organize vocational training opportunities for persons with disabilities. His experience working with cluster munitions and other UXO victims encouraged him to take part in the “Ban Advocate” initiative developed by Handicap International. This initiative has brought together victims of cluster munitions from around the world to advocate for the comprehensive ban on cluster munitions and full application of rights for not only survivors, but also affected communities.

Thi’s advocacy work has taken him to Ireland, Norway, Germany, Indonesia, Lao PDR and Lebanon where he has participated in the Oslo Treaty process to implement the Convention on Cluster Munitions.

Interstate 81 Between Carlisle, Pennsylvania and Hagerstown, Maryland by Ken Lund

Interstate 81 (I-81) is a north–south (physically northeast–southwest) Interstate Highway in the eastern part of the United States. Its southern terminus is at I-40 in Dandridge, Tennessee; its northern terminus is on Wellesley Island at the Canadian border, where the Thousand Islands Bridge connects it to Highway 401, the main Ontario freeway connecting Detroit via Toronto to Montreal. The major metropolitan areas that I-81 connects to include Harrisburg and the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania and Syracuse in New York.

I-81 largely traces the paths created down the length of the Appalachian Mountains through the Great Appalachian Valley by migrating animals, American Indians, and early settlers. It also follows a major corridor for troop movements during the Civil War. These trails and roadways gradually evolved into U.S. Route 11 (US 11); I-81 parallels much of the older US 11. Being mostly rural, it is heavily used as a trucking corridor, and is often used as a bypass of busier Interstates to the east such as I-95. For this reason, it is also used heavily by drug and human traffickers, as it is less monitored by law enforcement than the I-95. This led to the FBI forming a task force to combat the issue in 2017.

The Interstate 81 Corridor Coalition, a six-state coalition, was organized to handle issues along I-81, such as truck traffic and air pollution; the commission meets annually. I-81 is part of the fastest route between the capital of the United States (Washington, D.C.) and the capital of Canada (Ottawa).

All things Fruity - Agadir, Batoire by ronramstew

1 5

Batoire is physically a pretty colourless place,,,,,although of course there is the comédie

humaine. This juice shop gives workaday Place Salaam a kitschy glamour. Over the top the garlanding might be, but the fruit juices are delicious. The drink of choice for the locals is the avocado. The beach may only be down the road, but tourists are rare here.

The Late Gothic Hall: Retable with Scenes from the Life of Saint Andrew by Peter Roan

Retable with Scenes from the Life of Saint Andrew

Attributed to the Master of Roussillon

Date ca. 1420–30

Made in Catalan, Spain

Physically imposing but delicately painted, this large altarpiece, which retains much of its original frame, is notable for its skillful use of color, careful design, and rich narrative content—for example, the various species of fish in the scene at the upper left. The uppermost image, above the bearded figure of the apostle Saint Andrew in the center, is of the Enthroned Virgin and Child with Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Mary Magdalen, and angels. The other panels illustrate various episodes of Andrew's life taken from the thirteenth-century Golden Legend. The upper left panel depicts the calling of Saint Andrew, with the punishment of a wicked mother, below. In the upper right is his crucifixion, and below that he is seen saving a bishop from the devil disguised as a fair woman. The predella depicts six additional scenes (one is lost) flanking a central image of Christ as the Man of Sorrows. From left to right, these are: Saint Andrew and the woman who prayed to Diana on behalf of her sister; a woman bringing the saint to her sister; Andrew driving away devils in the forms of dogs; Andrew raising a dead youth; and Andrew bringing drowned Men to life.

Elizabeth McAlpine,Tilt, 2010. Photo: Colin Davison. Courtesy: AV Festival 12 by AV_Festival

McAlpine’s work explores the two essential elements of all film: light and time. This exhibition brings together her 8mm sculptural film works that physically mark the passage of time. Square Describing a Circle (10th May) was filmed using a square stencil during a 12-hour day. The result is a flickering square beam of light, following the movement of the sun, which, when rotated references a circle. Tilt (in 6 Parts) is composed of six projectors, projecting six white frames punctuated by colour every sixth of the way through the film.

Biography

Elizabeth McAlpine is a London-based artist whose practice spans video art, film, installation and photography. She studied at Goldsmiths College, London and Slade School of Fine Art, London. Her work often deploys anachronistic technologies such as Super 8 and pinhole cameras, makeshift sundials and gramophones, as well as found artifacts from bygone eras. McAlpine has exhibited in solo shows at Laura Bartlett Gallery, London; Laura Gitlen, New York; Eastside Projects, Birmingham; Art Statements, Art Basel; SPACEX, Exeter; and Ballina Arts Centre, Ireland. Her work has featured in group shows at Spike Island, Bristol; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA, USA; Voorkamer, Lier, Belgium; and many more.

Pulpit in the village by Rob

From Wikipedia:

Letchworth Village was a residential institution located in Rockland County, New York, built for the physically and mentally disabled of all ages from the newborn to the elderly. Opened in 1911, Letchworth Village at its peak consisted of over 130 buildings spread out over many acres of land.

On February 27, 1950, the first trial case of the polio vaccine in the United States was administered to an 8-year-old patient. After the patient suffered no side effects, the vaccine was administered to 19 more of the institution's children.

In 1972, a New York affiliate of ABC News featured Letchworth Village and its appalling conditions in an episode called Willowbrook: The Last Great Disgrace which helped lead to reform of similar healthcare institutions throughout the United States. But prior media attention and national focus was not enough to save Letchworth Village, and by the mid-1980s, the institution was no longer being adequately funded nor properly managed and residents, including children, continued to be found unclothed, unbathed, and neglected. In addition to rampant abuse among the institution's residents, staff also suffered abuse at the hands of fellow co-workers which included incidents of rape.

In 1996 the institution was permanently closed down, and many of its abandoned structures have since fallen into serious disrepair.

In 2011, Letchworth was featured on the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures cable-television series on Season 5, Episode 6 which originally aired on October 28, 2011.

I love you Michael by Gautam Rishi

1 16

still can't believe it.. MJ is no more. Physically. I learnt to dance because of him. I learnt about POP culture because of him. I participated in dance shows because of him. I learnt his songs by heart. I had MJ's posters all over my room. I had MJ's BAD dress made specially for a show. His gloves.. his shoes.. his moves.. was waiting so bad for his last series of show in London. I my first CD was MJ's Thriller.. I still can't ..

You took my breath away every time you sang..

You took my breath away every time you danced..

You took my breath away every time you performed..

You took my breath away every time you created a music video..

This is a devastating news. I always thought of how MJ would be when he grew older..

You know everyone in the last generation remembers where they were when they heard abt Kennedy's death.. Elvis's death.. Diana's death..

In India, everyone in the last generation remembers where they were when they heard about Nehru's, Indira Gandhi's and Rajiv Gandhi's death.. This is one of those things.

I still can't..

I love you michael..

Physically I'm in pretty good shape, but mentally, I'm comatose. by Britney Rae

Let it go by Kris Anderson

Somewhere around the age of 2, our son developed a pretty extreme phobia of balloons. I know; a lot of people don't like balloons. When presented with a balloon... or even told that he will be near a balloon... he gets wide-eyed and panicky, hyperventilates, and is sometimes physically ill. When balloons come out at school, or at parties, he shrinks back to the other side of the room, or makes a break for it.

We've been slowly working towards desensitising him to balloons. I'm not sure if we're making much progress really, but he at least can restrain himself from running for the hills when he's in a room with a balloon. Still a long way to go.

I met up with Luke for a photoshoot yesterday involving 20 helium balloons. Our son came with, and was there for the buying + inflating + transport of the balloons. He showed a lot of strength and restraint - I could see the fear and panic in his face in the shop, and he held on and worked through it.

Towards the end of the shoot, he took one red balloon to hold. My wife's suggestion was that he take one balloon and let it go, so he could watch his anxiety float up up and away and eventually disappear. He's usually a pretty animated fellow, but he was quite subdued when he held the balloon and let it go. It wasn't until it was a good distance away that he actually turned to look at it floating away.

I'm really proud of him.

Station sign at Bethnal Green by Mike G. McDermott

Located on the Central Line Bethnal Green Underground station is physically separate to the London Overground station on the Liverpool Street to Chingford and West Anglia main line which also shares the same name. However there is a tragic story with regard to Bethnal Green Underground station as the station was opened as part of the long-planned eastern extension of the Central Line from Liverpool Street out to Stratford in December 1946 after having previously been used as an air-raid shelter. Sadly on the evening of 3rd March 1943 173 people (including 62 children) were killed in a mass stampede while attempting to rush down the stairs into the shelter during a heavy air raid over London's East End in what is believed to be the largest loss of civilian life in the UK during the World War 2. In 2017 a sculpture remembering and honouring those innocent people who died called the 'Stairway To Heaven' was installed and unveiled by the eastern entrance to Bethnal Green Underground station where this tragedy occurred back in March 1943.

no smoking day - not sure by Kirby

6

I disconnected from the internet for about 4 days just because sitting in front of this thing and not moving around (physically) hasn't been the greatest thing for me when it comes to not smoking. I've NEEDED to get out of this house and get outside and MOVE AROUND.

========

I signed in today to a good handful of concerned e-mails that maybe I had smoked and was hiding out beating myself up. I HAVEN'T SMOKED!!!! But I gotta tell ya, those e-mails... you guys... straight to my heart. I have never had this much support in doing this before. I'm not gonna get all Mary Tyler Moore on ya and throw my hat up spinning around touting the glory and happiness that quitting smoking is this time around ('CAUSE IT AIN'T!! IT'S STILL A BITCH!!!!) but I will say that I wish I could do something to express my grattitude. Please don't stop it coming for now.... just for awhile longer... it's helping so much.

------------

I think it might be my personality but the stuff that's really helping has been y'all that have been sayin', "Oh no Kirb you are absolutely right it's a total pain in the ass. This is NOT an easy thing and it may get much worse before everything settles down and LET YOURSELF HAVE RAGE and SCREAM if you have to!!!" Also the best have been those ahead of me looking back and goin', "C'mon.... I did it. You can...".

------------

No apologies in my rant today. Hell no. I don't care how new-agey this shit sounds. I feel good right now. NO, not always but right now yes. (and the lil' blue helpers are gone so it ain't that... (smirk))

--------------

healthwise - Well, the scilia in my lungs are definately growing back. It tickles. No, not funny haha tickles. It's a sorta dry hackin' cough I get about 2 or 3 times a day that doesn't hurt. All about healin' I suppose. (It's not that hackin'-up-black-shit cough... I don't seem to do that one.)

My hands & feet are still sweating from the sudden overflow of circulation but, it's cold as hell outside in these parts nowadays so I don't really mind.

-----------------

I am eating food like there might not be any on earth tomorrow. I've gained 15 pounds. I don't care. I'm finally on my way to authentic beardom!! hehe...

==========

So.. I'm alive. Feelin' good. Manic as hell some days but aware of it when it happens so that's helping.

Nodding off as I type so.... gonna crash out here and sleep.

If you're one of my flickr friends reading this... check out my contact list and look around. My people-picker is pretty good and there's some great folks (and photographers!!!) around me. You should check 'em out. They keep me goin'.

I'm getting too mushy and WAAAAYYYYY too long winded.

'night all.

Peace,

Kirby

Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda, an Educational, Societal and Scientific Innovator has established an NGO 'SROSTI' at Bahanaga, Balasore,Odisha,India

Dr. panda has innovated/invented more than 10,000 (ten thousand) teaching aids and different innovations and he has more than 30,000 (Thirty thousand) ideas to make scientific and mathematical models.

His creations are very essential guide for school and college science exhibitions, innovative learning and play way method for the teachers and students, science activists, innovators, craftsmen, farmers, masons, physically challenged persons, common men, entrepreneurs and industrialists.

He is popularizing science through song, innovative demonstrations and motivational speech since 1990 in different parts of Odisha state without taking any fees.

Dr. Panda is an extreme motivational speaker in science and possess magical scientific demonstration and a crowd puller.

Innovator Mihir Kumar Panda loves nature and in his agricultural farm he does not uses the chemicals , fertilizers and pesticides. In his farm even the smallest creatures like snakes, caterpillar, white ants, worms ,vermies are in peace and are managed successfully not to do harm.

Dr. Panda is an Educationist, an environmentalist, a poet for science popularization, a good orator, a best resource person to train others in specific field of science and engineering.

The uniqueness of Simple Innovation and scientific activities and achievements ofDr. Panda can not be assessed without visiting his laboratory which is a living wonder in the realm of science.

From a small cake cutter to mechanical scissor, from a play pump to rickshaw operated food grain spreader and from a village refrigerator to a multi-purpose machine, thousands of such inventions and innovations are proof of Dr. Panda's brilliance.

From a tube well operated washing machine to weight sensitive food grain separator, from a password protected wardrobe to automatic screen, from a Dual face fan to electricity producing fan are example of few thousands of innovations and inventions of Mihir Kumar Panda.

Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda though bestowed to a popular name as Einstein of Odisha is obliviously treated as Thomas Alva Edison of India.

Dr. Panda's residential house also resembles a museum with scientific innovations of different shapes and sizes stacked in every nook and cranny which proves his scientific involvement in personal life.

Innovator Panda believes that , the best thing a child can do with a toy to break it. he also believes that by Educating child in his/her choice subject/ passion a progressive nation can be built.

The shelf made scientist Dr. Panda believes that Education is a life long process whose scope is far greater than school curriculum. The moulding of models/ innovations done by hand always better than the things heard and the facts incorporated in the books.

With no agricultural background, Dr. Panda has developed unique natural bonsai in his Vijnana Bana Ashram which also shows path for earning just by uprooting and nurturing the plants which are found to be small and thumb in nature.

Dr. Panda's Scientific Endeavour and research is no doubt praise worthy. One cannot but believe his dedicated effort in simple innovation laboratory.

Social service, innovation/ inventions, writing, free technology to students for preparation of science exhibition projects, free technology to common men for their sustainability, preparation of big natural bonsai, technology for entrepreneurs and industrialists for innovative item are few works of Mihir Kumar Panda after his Government service.

. To overcome the difficulties of science and math, explanation in classes, innovator Panda has created few thousands of educational, societal and scientific innovations which helps teachers and students of the country and abroad.

Dr. Panda believes that though inventions/innovation has reached under thousands and thousands deep in the sea and high up in the space. It has reached on moon and mars, but unfortunately the sustainable inventions/innovation has not properly gone to the tiny tots and common people.

Dr. Panda is amazing and wizard of innovations and works with a principle the real scientist is he, who sees the things simply and works high.

Dr.Mihir Kumar Panda's work can be explained in short

Mr. W.T. Jayasinghe, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Sri Lanka (1972 - 1989) by The Gateway to South Asian Diplomacy

WIJEPALA TUDOR JAYASINGHE (1924-2009)

By Jayantha Dhanapala

A giant tree has fallen in the woods. And the sound will reverberate in the hearts and minds of all those who are here and well beyond. For Wijepala Tudor Jayasinghe was a giant among men – not just physically with his telegraph-pole height towering above us all but also intellectually and morally. And yet he was disarmingly humble and almost naïve in his simplicity. I have never known anyone who had all the reasons to be proud of his achievements but in whom I never ever saw a single trace of egotism. His instructions for his funeral are symbolic of a man of no ostentation and yet of great consideration for all around him.

All of us gathered here – family and friends – have had our own special links with WT. For me he was, first of all, an illustrious old boy of the school we both went to in Kandy where in the words of Rev. W.S.Senior "..river, lake and mountain meet our boyhood days surrounding". I read his name on the Boards in the school auditorium as the winner of almost all the academic prizes that could be had. His fame filtered through to my generation as a brilliant First Class in Western Classics who then confessed, in typical self-deprecation, to having to sign gun licenses as a Civil Servant. Fittingly the old boys awarded him the Trinity Prize for Public Service – an accolade that he accepted with touching gratitude and enthusiasm having earlier declined a national honour offered to him by a Prime Minister. In later years we swapped cherished memories of getting high marks for précis-writing from that great teacher of the English language, R.R.Breckenridge, whose lessons WT never forgot as he admonished me for writing long reports from my posts abroad. His own minutes were always a model of precision and concision.

Anecdotes about WT’s own laconic style, scrupulously simple dress and self-effacing qualities preceded our first meeting when he was the Controller of Immigration and Emigration. He did not seek promotions and was consequently overtaken in the rat race by those who were favoured by the party in power. Our link as public servants was then superseded by his becoming my boss as Secretary of the Ministry of Defence and Foreign Affairs from 1972-77 and thereafter the first Secretary of the newly created Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1977-89.

Never was there a more popular non-career Secretary among the career diplomats. Viewing us quizzically as a strange tribe at first he got to know us - warts and all - as we confided in him revealing our frailties but also our strengths. He was the hub in a wheel of many diverse spokes. His room was our refuge from the injustices of a temperamental minister and a politicized public service. His administration was always tempered with a human understanding of the impact transfers had on family life and the schooling of children. He suffered the venality of the politicians with the stoicism of a Seneca allowing himself to be the victim of many acts of discourtesy which made us squirm. But it was he who emerged unscathed and unbowed while the politicians grudgingly conceded the respect that was his due.

International affairs became for him an enduring interest as he witnessed the eternal verities of Greek and Roman history re-enacted on the world stage. Averse to protocol and shy of speech-making he let diplomacy claim his son for its own. He was a wonderful traveling companion on delegations from Pyongyang to Havana and eagerly sought out films on cowboys and Injuns when he travelled West. After retiring as Secretary he remained in the Presidential Secretariat to offer his wise counsel for a few more years before finally relinquishing public service. Not for him the sinecure of a political appointment as a Head of Mission.

The evidence of his work for Sri Lanka is recorded in two books he was encouraged to write in retirement. They record two diplomatic triumphs of the late Prime Minister Sirima Bandaranaike in Sri Lanka’s relations with India – the resolution of what was described as the Indo-Ceylon problem and the defining of the maritime boundary between India and Sri Lanka. His hansiputuwa in the rear verandah of his Spathodea Avenue residence was where he received his friends to discuss the latest book he had read or the current events in international affairs. He frequently said that he had overstayed his lease of life as old age restricted his walks (on which no one could keep pace with his long strides!) and his travel abroad. But all of us were drawn to bask in his friendship by visiting him at his home.

On the day of his death I was informed that WT had told his daughter, Neloufer, to remember to read Lucretius the fist century B.C. Roman poet-philosopher. Not even my great affection for WT would persuade me to read De Rerum Natura or The Nature of Things overnight but I did find a quotation from it that would have pleased WT. Lucretius wrote that "It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind". That was WT - a contented mind – unambitious, considerate of his fellow-men, transparently and translucently unselfish to the end asking us all to resume our lives following his funeral 24 hours after his death.

To the public servant of today W.T Jayasinghe should be the model of integrity and honourable conduct to emulate. All of us who knew him have had our lives enriched. Sri Lanka and the world are better places for the well nigh 85 years WT lived here.

Agropyron cristatum dominates Bromus tectorum habitat by Matt Lavin

In this physically disturbed sagebrush steppe (e.g., note the abundance of rubber rabbitbrush, Chrysothamnus nauseosus), Bromus tectorum is restricted to roadsides along with many other species whereas Agropyron cristatum and Poa secunda dominate the shrub steppe. This is often the case in southeastern Idaho and adjacent Nevada.
