We can certainly use all as many volunteers as possible of all ages and abilities and we look forward to the possibility of working with you! We are all aware of the importance the health of the Chesapeake Bay hold to all Maryland Residents. Please help clean up the historic shoreline of Bear Creek and Charlesmont Park where both the British and American set up defensive positions during the War of 1812, Battle of North Point. The British also used this location to evacuate their wounded and POW’s. Charlesmont Park was also the location were the Veterans of the War of 1812 celebrated Defender’s Day for over 75 years! This event will be run in conjunction with American Rivers, Trash Free Maryland, National Public Lands Day and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay as part of annual Project Clean Stream Event.
Please join us on April 21, 2018 as we cleanup this historic shoreline. Registration will be located at the intersection of Park Haven and Gray Haven Road (Near Bear Creek Elementary School), Dundalk, MD 21222. Looks for the registration tents and the “Clean Bread and Cheese Creek Banners. Registration will open at 8:00 am, and the cleanup will run from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. We have also included a flyer for this cleanup for your use.
We run our cleanups as a family event with plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We welcome every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the cleanup. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we need people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to help at registration, setup food and snacks as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. We will provide lunch and snacks as well as gloves. A limited number of tools are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them
Volunteers are also needed to arrive early and stay late for setup and break down. Photographers and Videographers also needed!

Question 3
How many pillars with white tips can you find in the water next to the "Zijlpoortsbrug" ...

Dan Maffei of Transcore answers questions about The Toll Roads' new all-electronic toll collection electronic equipment at a press conference held today to mark the launch of The Toll Roads' three new ExpressAccount types.
The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) today introduced three new ExpressAccount™ payment options, which give customers more choices on how to pay tolls. TCA, which operates The Toll Roads (SRs 73, 133, 241 and 261) will remove all cash toll collection from the 51-mile toll road network in May 2014.
The New ExpressAccounts – New Ways to Pay Tolls Without Stopping
With the new, transponder-free ExpressAccounts, images of a vehicle’s license plate taken on The Toll Roads are linked to an account and the appropriate toll is collected. When customers sign up for an ExpressAccount, they may choose one of three payment options:
•Prepaid – Customers open an account with a prepaid balance and tolls are deducted from the amount whenever they use The Toll Roads.
•Charge – At the end of each day, customers tolls are charged to the credit card on file for each trip on The Toll Roads.
•Invoice – Customers are sent an invoice at the close of the month for tolls incurred that month; no need to use a credit card or link a bank account to your account. This account type includes an invoice fee.
ExpressAccounts can only be used on The Toll Roads (SRs 73, 133, 241 and 261). And the toll is on average 20 percent higher than the toll paid by a FasTrak customer.
FasTrak: Still Lowest Tolls
Customers with FasTrak, which uses transponder technology affixed to a vehicle’s windshield, will continue to pay the lowest tolls and may be used on all toll roads, lanes and bridges throughout California. FasTrak customers won't have to make any changes to their accounts when cash collection ceases on The Toll Roads.

Craco, il paese fantasma
Craco è un centro in provincia di Matera che dista 54 km dal capoluogo.
Le prime tracce di una frequentazione umana nell'area di Craco sono alcune tombe risalenti all'VIII a.C. rinvenute in località S.Angelo.
Come altri centri vicini, è probabile che abbia offerto riparo ai coloni greci di Metaponto, quando questi si sono trasferiti in territorio collinare, forse per sfuggire alla malaria che imperversava nella pianura. Craco successivamente è stata un insediamento bizantino.
Nel X secolo, monaci italo-bizantini hanno cominciato a sviluppare l'agricoltura, diventando un punto di riferimento per le comunità rurali locali.
La prima testimonianza del nome del paese risale al 1060, quando il territorio viene sottoposto all'autorità dell'arcivescovo Arnaldo di Tricarico e citato con il nome Graculum, ovvero “piccolo campo arato”.
In epoca normanna il feudo di Craco viene assegnato a Erberto (1154-1168) e successivamente a Roberto di Pietrapertosa (1176-1179); in epoca sveva il paese, grazie alla propria posizione strategica, diviene un importante centro militare e viene affidato a Goffredo (1239).
Nel 1276 Craco diventa sede di una Universitas, ovvero un Comune.
La fortuna del paese si deve, come si accennava, alla sua posizione strategica tra le valli fluviali del Cavone e dell'Agri, in passato navigabili, vie privilegiate per chiunque volesse attraversare la Basilicata interna: infatti la torre di Craco costituiva, assieme ad altre fortificazioni della zona come la Petrolla di Montalbano, il castello normanno-svevo di Pisticci ed il castello di San Basilio, una rete di torri di avvistamento in grado di garantire il controllo assoluto dell'intera zona.
Con la salita al trono di Carlo I d'Angiò (1268) Craco viene infeudata a Pietro de Beaumont.
In seguito si avvicendano al potere le più potenti famiglie del Medioevo: i Monforte (fine del XIII sec.), i Del Balzo, gli Sforza (XV sec.), i Sanseverino (XVI sec.).
Nel 1799 la popolazione aderisce agli ideali repubblicani sollevandosi contro il potere dei nobili feudatari ma la ribellione viene soffocata nel sangue dalle truppe del Cardinale Ruffo presso palazzo Carbone.
Nel XV secolo, la città si espande intorno a quattro palazzi nobiliari:
Palazzo Maronna, vicino al torrione che domina il paese, è caratterizzato da un bell'ingresso monumentale in mattoni e da un grande balcone terrazzato
Palazzo Grossi, vicino alla Chiesa Madre, ha un alto portale architravato, privo di cornici. I piani superiori sono coperti da volte a vela e decorati da motivi floreali racchiusi all'interno di medaglioni. Parte delle finestre e dei balconi conservano ringhiere in ferro battuto
Palazzo Carbone, edificio della fine del '400, ha un ingresso monumentale. Nel Settecento è stato rinnovato ed ampliato
Palazzo Simonetti
Sono inoltre ancora visibili i ruderi di un torrione, chiamato dagli abitanti di Craco “il castello”, della chiesa di di San Nicola, della chiesa e del convento di San Pietro nonché della sorgente del lago Salso.
A causa di una frana di vaste proporzioni, nel 1963 Craco è stata completamente evacuata e la popolazione si è trasferita a valle, in località Craco Peschiera.
Allora il centro contava oltre 2000 abitanti.
La frana che ha obbligato la popolazione ad abbandonare le proprie case sembra essere stata provocata da interventi infrastrutturali a servizio dell'abitato.
Da quel momento Craco è diventato un vero e proprio paese fantasma, uno dei rari esempi in Italia, e da alcuni decenni entusiasma viaggiatori e numerosi registi che hanno scelto proprio il centro lucano per girare alcune scene dei loro film:
La lupa di Alberto Lattuada
Cristo si è fermato a Eboli di Francesco Rosi: nell'episodio dell'arrivo di Volontè-Carlo Levi alla nuova destinazione di confino, Gagliano.
Per l'occasione furono disposti sulle prime case del paese degli stendardi a lutto, per ricreare lo scenario descritto nel libro.
King David di Bruce Beresford
Saving Grace di Tom Conti
Il sole anche di notte di Paolo e Vittorio Taviani
Terra bruciata di Fabio Segatori
Nativity di Catherine Hardwicke
La passione di Cristo di Mel Gibson: gli esterni di questa pellicola furono girati prevalentemente a Matera; Craco fu scelta dal regista come il paese che si vede sullo sfondo nella scena dell'impiccagione di Giuda
The Big Question diretto da Francesco Cabras e Alberto Molinari
Nine Poems in Basilicata di Antonello Faretta
Agente 007 - Quantum of Solace, regia di Marc Forster, con Daniel Craig e Giancarlo Giannini
Basilicata coast to coast, di Rocco Papaleo
I viaggiatori che si avventurano a Craco si trovano immersi in un'atmosfera a dir poco surreale, circondati dal paesaggio lunare dei “calanchi” resi celebri dal “Cristo si è fermato a Eboli” di Carlo Levi; olivi secolari misti a cipressi antichissimi sono dal lato del paese verso lo scalo, quest'ultimo sulla ferrovia calabro lucana da questo lato divelta e abbandonata.
I nomi delle contrade vicine evocano un passato intenso e misterioso:
"Canzoniere": prende il nome da un'antica taverna posta lungo un tratturo un tempo molto frequentato. Secondo una leggenda la taverna era gestita da una donna molto avvenente, una sorta di Circe contadina che una volta sedotti i malcapitati avventori, li uccideva e li metteva sotto aceto, facendone il piatto forte della sua taverna
"San Lorenzo": un'antica fontana a volta, sulla via verso il fiume Cavone, dove palme altissime convivono con gli olivi sullo sfondo di masserie che sono capolavori dell'arte costruttiva rurale dei secoli passati, austere e solari, arroccate e nel contempo aperte al territorio, come quelle "Galante" e "Cammarota", disposte su due livelli: gli archi che reggono la scala esterna e i terrazzi sembrano spalti difensivi
"Sant'Eligio": protettore dei maniscalchi, trova a Craco un tributo che va al di là della semplice menzione toponomastica, con la sua cappella magnificamente affrescata, probabilmente del '500, con scene di santi intorno a un Cristo che pur crocifisso resta Pantocratore

Celebrating Dr. E's LAw of Moving Dimensions ^& Dynamic Dimensions Theory dx4/dt=ic which derives from Homer's Odyssey! "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them." --Homer's Odyssey! herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!

Jimena Gamboa asks the panel a question.
On Tuesday, April 2, 2019, the LBJ Library’s Future Forum held an event to honor the victims of the deadly series of mystery package bombs planted in Austin in 2018 and to discuss media coverage of the bombings. Austin journalists and media consumers discussed ways in which racial biases shaped the unfolding story of the bombings and considered strategies and ideas for reducing the reflection of biases in future news reporting.
The panelists were John Bridges, executive editor of the Austin American-Statesman; Eric Byrd, vice president and chief operating officer of the nonprofit MEASURE Austin and director of transitional and supervised independent living for SAFE Alliance, an Austin nonprofit serving abuse survivors; DaLyah Jones, assistant producer for All Things Considered and a KUT evening host; and Eric Tang, PhD, associate professor in the African and African Diaspora Studies Department and director of the Center for Asian American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Moderator of the panel was Erna Smith, lecturer at UT Austin’s School of Journalism.

Here's the answer to all your questions.
The original idea I had was 'the curves', Yin Yang, all I needed was my black dress(=photographer's dress code?hi) and a white bg.
It was about perception and reality, the philosophical side of it, the way we can be 'tricked' and perceive something, but there is only ONE reality and here it is.
I took the shots and looked from which one the best 'crop' would come.
When I saw the results I realised there was more there, so took some more...
Yin, the darker element, is passive, dark, feminine, downward-seeking, and corresponds to the night; yang, the brighter element, is active, light, masculine, upward-seeking and corresponds to the day.
Thank you, Magda(*_*)

The National Palace of Mafra, the Franciscan convent and its church is a truly magnificent monument to visit. Being one of the most important Baroque buildings in Portugal it was financed with the gold from Brazil (a Portuguese colony at the time) and it’s a symbol of the absolutist reign of D. João V. Its construction started 1711 and ended up with a palace with over 1200 rooms, from which the library is the most magnificent example. Housing about 40.000 books from the 18th century is the biggest and richest in the world from its age. Since law to science books many relics can be seen there.
Still, due to the Napoleon invasions this library was not finished as it has no paintings to decorate it. The monks had to run away from the invaders and never completed the work. This Napoleonic invasion also made the Portuguese Royal Family seek refuge in Brazil taking with them the best and most important pieces from the palace. These can only be seen in Brazil nowadays, as the family in its return left them there. But there are still many, many great historical pieces to be seen.
The church included in the building is completely stunning, and it houses the largest and finest collection of Italian statues from the 18th century existing in Portugal. It also has a group of six organs, with themes specifically made to be played on them and thus is impossible to be reproduced anywhere else in the world, and the famous 96 bells which play musical themes once a week. These last two features are unique in the world by their dimension, complexity and richness.
