“As information on Cambodian birds has grown exponentially since the 1990s, the country has needed a national treatment synthesizing latest knowledge on its fascinating avifauna for some time.
The Birds of Cambodia, An Annotated Checklist addresses this need. The book provides an exhaustive account of all 599 bird species confirmed for Cambodia to date, with information on seasonal status, abundance, habitats, altitude range and distribution, in addition to notes on breeding and conservation status. Over 80 species are illustrated by colour photographs taken in the wild in Cambodia.
The introduction presents the country’s natural geography, major habitats, protected areas, ornithological history and survey coverage, as well as threats to birds and conservation successes and challenges. Species accounts summarise current knowledge for each species, and are systematically listed with their English, scientific, French and Khmer names, including transliteration. Detailed reviews of records are also provided for rarities and all species of conservation concern, together with a proposed national conservation category.
This landmark in Cambodian ornithology is the result of 12 years of observations and ornithological surveys by the author who lived and travelled extensively in the country from 1994 to 2006, followed by six years of detailed review on a secluded French island. It will undoubtedly become the standard reference for conservationists and ornithologists in Cambodia, as well as all birdwatchers visiting the Kingdom.”

The Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Turkish: Sultanahmet Camii) is an historic mosque in Istanbul. The mosque is popularly known as the Blue Mosque for the blue tiles adorning the walls of its interior.
It was built from 1609 to 1616, during the rule of Ahmed I. Like many other mosques, it also contains a tomb of the founder, a madrasah and a hospice. While still used as a mosque, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque has also become a popular tourist attraction.
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque has one main dome, six minarets, and eight secondary domes. The design is the culmination of two centuries of both Ottoman mosque and Byzantine church development. It incorporates some Byzantine elements of the neighboring Hagia Sophia with traditional Islamic architecture and is considered to be the last great mosque of the classical period. The architect, Sedefkâr Mehmed Ağa, synthesized the ideas of his master Sinan, aiming for overwhelming size, majesty and splendour.

It still appears that the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are somehow competing to win the title of the most majestic building of Istanbul history - from my perspective, there is no winner.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is an architectural landmark, comprised of three buildings designed by three legendary architects: Eero Saarinen, David Kahler, and Santiago Calatrava.
The Museum grounds were redesigned in conjunction with the Quadracci Pavilion, with a network of gardens, plazas, and fountains created by landscape architect Dan Kiley to parallel the addition. Kiley was known for his formal geometric approach to landscape design. His understated Cudahy Gardens use a grid of lawns divided by hedgerows and linear fountains to create a forecourt for the Museum. Kiley’s plan for the entrance plaza was inspired by the clean lines of Calatrava’s work, intended to synthesize the dynamics of the city, the building, and the natural environment.

Corpus Nil is a performance exploring hybrid forms of identity and musicianship through an intense and ritualistic interaction between an artificially intelligent musical instrument, a human body, and sound. A naked player performs a tense choreography which gradually morphs his body. Two types of wearable biosensors transmit data from his body to a software. Chip microphones capture sounds from muscles and internal organs (mechanomyogram or MMG) and electrodes capture muscle voltages (electromyogram or EMG).
The instrument re-synthesizes sounds produced within the performer’s body (between 1-40 Hz) by orchestrating a feedback network of twenty digital oscillators. Concurrently, the instrument learns the nuances of the performer’s movement (muscular tension, gesture abruptness, rate of relaxation) and chooses how to vary the musical output. The player cannot control the instrument, but only learn how to affect it and be affected by it. The piece discards conventional performer-instrument relationships–founded on the performer’s full control of the instrument–in favor of an unstable corporeal engagement between the two.

Spanish painter. based in madrid from 1909, he was self-taught and began by copying pictures by diego velázquez and el greco in the prado. he received support from the poet juan ramón jiménez and established links with such young poets and artists as federico garcía lorca, rafael alberti, salvador dalí and luis buñuel. in 1925, when he participated in the artistas ibéricos exhibition (madrid, casón buen retiro), his work consisted of mildly abstracted landscapes and cubist still-lifes. after several lengthy spells in paris between 1926 and 1928, where he met picasso, he held a one-man exhibition at the palacio de bibliotecas y museos in madrid (1928), his unconventional choice of material—including combinations of oils, soil and sand—scandalizing both critics and visitors. his work developed towards abstraction under the influence of joan miró and was marked also by surrealism in an effort to synthesize the iberian spirit with the avant-garde.

Kristof Vrancken - The Sustainist Gaze, part I
in Z33, Hasselt
Can local plant extracts be used for developing photos?
The photographer Kristof Vrancken researches “natural” methods for developing photos. He has experimented with the anthotype procedure, which uses purely natural ingredients. Anthotype originated in the application of plant colours to fabrics and objects, and the plants used in this process are of considerable historical interest. The use of most of these plant extracts has declined in the wake of advancing industrialization, and products such as natural vegetable dyes have been extensively displaced by chemically synthesized pigments. The latter are often easier and cheaper to manufacture but are deleterious to the environment. By developing photos using local plant-based colours, in particular from the flora of the location photographed, Kristof Vrancken establishes an interesting relationship between the physical landscape and the photographic image. He elicits an awareness of time, local resources and the development processes, thereby presenting a critical counterweight to the contemporary snapshot culture.
During MANUFACTUUR 3.0 Kristof Vrancken will develop a new photographic emulsion based on historical recipes and starting from Hasselt gin and local berries and flora. Referring to 18th and 19th century traditions to make homemade liquors, a new and drinkable photographic emulsion will be created, searching for a balance between image and taste.
Kristof Vrancken has invited a number of designers to participate in a micro-residence in his studio during MANUFACTUUR 3.0. The invitees include Veerle Tytgat, Jenny Stieglitz, Pablo Hannon, Andries Vanvinckenroye and Giacomo Piovan (Socialmatter)

Frederic Edwin Church American 1826-1900
Heart of the Andes , 1859
Oil on canvas
Inspired by the writings of the German naturalist Alexander von Humbodlt ( 1769-1859), Church traveled to South America in 1853 and 1857. Heart of the Andes was synthesized from scores of pencil and oil sketches Church made in Ecuador and represents the full climatic range—from tropical to temperate to fridgid—Humbodlt had observed there a half century earlier. The painting’s original presentation accommodated both its wondrous botanical detail and its continental sweep: Church displayed it in a massive windowlike frame ( now lost) and advised visitors to view it through opera glasses, the better to share the artist’s adventure. It now appears in a frame designed by Church for another painting.

High energy physics is challenged by unresolved mysteries—from missing particles predicted by the standard model to the 95% of the missing mass in the universe. To fulfill these missions, particle accelerators rely on continuously increasing acceleration gradients, now beyond the actual technology.
The Department of Energy’s Office of High Energy Physics recently awarded Argonne $3.3 million to improve the performance of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. The uniqueness of Argonne’s approach is to combine a recent synthesis technique, which combines atomic layer deposition with an original solution to improve and/or cure radio frequency niobium cavities: a multilayer structure composed of superconducting-insulating films synthesized on the inside walls of the cavity. This effort is being developed in close collaboration between Argonne’s High Energy Physics, Energy Systems and Materials Science divisions, as well as Jefferson Lab, Fermilab, Illinois Institute of Technology, and several other universities.

The NIH supports a broad portfolio of research on cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system. This research portfolio includes some studies utilizing the whole marijuana plant (Cannabis sativa), but most studies focus on individual cannabinoid compounds. Individual cannabinoid chemicals may be isolated and purified from the marijuana plant or synthesized in the laboratory, or they may be naturally occurring (endogenous) cannabinoids found in the body.

Wonderfully weird in all its eccentricity. Superb costumes and outfits .
Steampunk fashion has no set guidelines but tends to synthesize modern styles with influences from the Victorian era. Such influences may include bustles, corsets, gowns, and petticoats; suits with waistcoats, coats, top hats[74] and bowler hats (themselves originating in 1850 England), tailcoats and spats; or military-inspired garments. Steampunk-influenced outfits are usually accented with several technological and "period" accessories: timepieces, parasols, flying/driving goggles,[75] and ray guns. Modern accessories like cell phones or music players can be found in steampunk outfits, after being modified to give them the appearance of Victorian-era objects. Post-apocalyptic elements, such as gas masks, ragged clothing, and tribal motifs, can also be included. Aspects of steampunk fashion have been anticipated by mainstream high fashion, the Lolita and aristocrat styles, neo-Victorianism, and the Romantic Goth subculture.[24][76][77]
Trachybasalt in the Pleistocene of California, USA.
The best localities on Earth for seeing excellent columnar jointing are Giants Causeway (Ireland), Devils Tower (Wyoming, USA), and Devils Postpile (California, USA) (see above). Columnar jointing forms as a lava flow cools and contracts, resulting in the development of shrinkage cracks. As shrinkage cracks grow, they branch at ~120º angles (as seen in map view). Crack networks merge with other networks to form columns having a polygonal cross-section shape. Most columns are hexagonal or pentagonal in shape. A few are 3-sided, 4-sided, or 7-sided.
Devils Postpile is a trachybasalt (or basaltic trachyandesite) lava flow with extremely well-developed columnar jointing. Erosion has toppled many of the columns into a large pile at the base of the flow. The flow represents part of the activity of the Long Valley Volcano, which is now a large caldera in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The Devils Postpile lava flow erupted outside the southwestern margin of the Long Valley Caldera.

Gouache on paper; 56.5 x 44.7 cm.
A native of Reggio Calabria, Boccioni studied art through the Scuola Libera del Nudo at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, beginning in 1901. He also studied design with a sign painter in Rome. Together with his friend Gino Severini, he became a student of Giacomo Balla, a divisionist painter. In 1906, Boccioni studied Impressionist and Post-Impressionist styles in Paris. During the late 1906 and early 1907, he shortly took drawing classes at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice. In 1901, Boccioni first visited the Famiglia Artistica, a society for artists in Milan. After moving there in 1907, he became acquainted with fellow Futurists, including the famous poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The two artists would later join with others in writing manifestos on Futurism.
Boccioni became the main theorist of the artistic movement. He also decided to be a sculptor after he visited various studios in Paris, in 1912, among which those of Braque, Archipenko, Brancusi, Raymond Duchamp-Villon and, probably, Medardo Rosso. While in 1912 he exhibited some paintings together with other Italian futurists at the Bernheim-Jeun, in 1913 he returned to show his sculptures at the Gallerie La Boetie: all related to the elaboration of what Boccioni had seen in Paris, they in their turn probably influenced the cubist sculptors, especially Duchamp-Villon.
In 1914, he published Pittura e scultura futuriste (dinamismo plastico) explaining the aesthetics of the group: “While the impressionists make a table to give one particular moment and subordinate the life of the table to its resemblance to this moment, we synthesize every moment (time, place, form, color-tone) and thus build the table.” He exhibited in London, together with the group, in 1912 (Sackville Gallery) and 1914 (Doré Gallery): the two exhibitions made a deep impression on a number of young English artists, in particular C.R.W. Nevinson, who joined the movement: others aligned themselves instead to its British equivalent, Vorticism, led by Wyndham Lewis.
Mobilized in the declaration of war, Boccioni was assigned to an artillery regiment at Sorte, near Verona. On 16 August 1916, Boccioni was thrown from his horse during a cavalry training exercise and was trampled. He died the following day, age thirty-three.

I cannot give enough thanks to the incredibly talented Kelly Eddington -- and to the entire @U2 crew who pitched in to make this happen -- for this amazing painting that wonderfully synthesizes my U2 fandom in a single painting. The team presented this to me as a special gift right before our 20th anniversary party last month in New York City.
Thank you, Kelly. Thank you, everyone at @U2. It's a honor and blessing to get to work/play with you today, and for the past 20 years.
A first-generation antihistamine of the diphenylmethane and piperazine classes. It was first synthesized by Union Chimique Belge in 1956 and was marketed by Pfizer in the United States later the same year, and is still in widespread use today.
Hydroxyzine is used primarily as an antihistamine for the treatment of itching, allergies, hyperalgesia, motion sickness-induced nausea, and insomnia, as well as notably for the treatment of mild anxiety. Even though it is an effective sedative, hypnotic, analgesic, and tranquilizer, it shares almost none of the abuse, dependence, addiction, and toxicity potential of other drugs used for the same range of therapeutic reasons.[citation needed]
Hydroxyzine is used with opioid analgesics to increase the pain-killing ability of a given dose of opioid, reduce the quantity needed to stop a given level of pain, and/or preempt some side effects of opioids like itching, nausea, and vomiting.

They did great, but not perfect. Bronze color of these is good, and is the sign that these berries synthesized the characteristic flavoring compounds of this grape. Got to 20 Brix, but the grapes lost leaves due to, I think, powdery mildew. That limits sugar production in the berry. I skipped a mid-late July spraying that I shouldn't have skipped. But I had no black rot so I thought I was home free.
These are paleopebbles eroded from an outcrop of Pennsylvanian-aged Sharon Member (a.k.a. Sharon Conglomerate; Sharon Sandstone) in northeastern Ohio. They were found in a modern stream, so they are both modern fluvial pebbles and ancient fluvial paleopebbles.
-----------------------------
[Synthesized from info. provided by several geologists during the 2003 Annual Field Conference of the Great Lakes Section, Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists]:
The Lower Pennsylvanian Sharon Formation is a 10-15 meter thick, ledge-forming, erosion-resistant unit. The Sharon is paleovalley-filling in places, so it is thicker than 10-15 meters in some spots. The jointing patterns of the Sharon Formation allow for 3-D examination around large blocks of outcrop - can see the 3-D architecture of sedimentary structures. The Pottsville Group lies over a major unconformity, which was formed by eustatic sea level fall & erosion. The Sharon Formation is the basal unit of the Pottsville sediments over this unconformity. In terms of the tectonic setting, this is in the Appalachian Foreland Basin. What influenced sedimentation and sediment supply of the Sharon Formation during the Early Pennsylvanian? Probably a migrating forebulge and Early Pennsylvanian climatic changes. The Sharon is correlatable with the Olean Conglomerate in Pennsylvania. Both the Sharon and the Olean are time-equivalent to the Tumbling Hill Member & the Huylkill Member of the lower Pottsville Formation of central Pennsylvania (both of those members are below the major unconformity in Pennsylvania, unlike in northeastern Ohio). The Sharon Conglomerate/Formation & the Olean Conglomerate were deposited under strong north-to-south paleoflow conditions.
About twelve lithofacies can be seen in the Sharon Formation in the Akron, Ohio area. The Sharon Formation is dominantly conglomerate and sandstone, with lots of sedimentary structures. It is light on fine-grained materials. The Sharon has horizontally bedded gravels, cross-bedded gravels (including trough and tabular cross bedding), deformed/overturned cross-bed sets, basal scours up to 2 meters deep (but typically 0.5 to 1 meter deep; scours are backfilled by dune/bar back migration), whole channel fills, chute fills, and gravel bar platform deposits (usually 1-2 meters thick in the Sharon; these include bar head deposits, bar core deposits, bar tail deposits, and bar margin deposits - can usually use the presence of imbricated clasts to ID bar-head & bar-core portions of gravel bar platforms, but in the Sharon, clasts are mostly spheroidal, so it is difficult to tell specific portions of gravel platforms here). In the gravel-rich Sharon deposits, get calculated average bankfull depths of 2.1 meters, average paleochannel widths of 19.9 meters, and maximum paleochannel widths of 34.3 meters. Get different numbers for the sandy Sharon deposits. The Sharon is typically more conglomeratic at the base & more sandy near the top. The Sharon’s interpreted depositional environment is gravel & sand bedload streams. Paleovalleys underneath the Sharon Formation were formed when the subsidence rate was greater than the sediment supply. Paleovalley backfilling (i.e., Sharon deposits) occurred when the subsidence rate was less than the sediment supply. The change in fluvial style seen in Sharon deposits is probably due to filling & overtopping of paleovalleys.
Beds of the Sharon Formation are usually cliff-forming. The Sharon in the Akron area consists of quartz-pebble conglomerate & quartzose sandstone & pebbly quartzose sandstone & sandy quartz-pebble conglomerate & some lenses or thin intervals of granulestone. The basal Sharon is conglomeratic - the “lower conglomerate”. An “upper conglomerate” can be seen in places - it is usually quite thin (1-2 pebbles thick in places), and in some places, it splits into two horizons; in some places, it’s not there at all. Pebbles are almost entirely white vein quartz, with an uncertain source from the north. Detrital muscovite in the Sharon has been dated to about 370 and 406 Ma (Devonian), so the source area includes Acadian Orogeny materials. The Sharon has relatively common cross-bedding, with a few overturned cross-beds visible in areas. Abundant iron oxide staining is present in the Sharon sandstones, with a variety of morphologies - this can weather out as resistant ridges or as 3-D surfaces. Many vugs have thick goethite linings. Many goethite-stained quartz pebbles are present. Seeps & springs occur sporadically along the sandstones of the lower Sharon Formation in places. These spring waters have widely variable pH and TDS (total dissolved solids). Some dry springs are present - conduits without water emerging. A few places in basal Sharon strata have obvious rip-up shale clasts, derived from uppermost Meadville Shale beds (below the Mississippian-Pennsylvanian unconformity). One outcrop is known with many Meadville Shale clasts mixed in with Sharon quartz pebbles - this appears to represent paleobank failure of Meadville material during near-earliest Sharon deposition.

Here's a quartetto of photos of
the colorful and delightfully dynamic
Elizabeth,
star of the Hollywood Pin-Up Girls
burlesque troupe
who has been featured many
a time here in this river of images,
performing here on the stage
of the august El Cid night club
on a patch of Sunset Boulevard
in Hollywood that is still not ritzy
or over-developed
but will be soon.
I couldn't decide which color
i liked best, so decided to
synthesize all four into one.
Elle est les

de sexe
et de charme.
Tattoos are wounds to heal other wounds. Tattoos can help to synthesize and process traumatic events at individual and social levels. Adrian works as a loader in a Mexico City market. A cobra was the most adequate design he found to cover the long stab wound on his stomach. Five days after being stabbed, he was working again: “It didn't really hurt. I have never had pain because of the wound, not even when loading heavy merchandise. The tattoo was more painful; I didn't mind to bear the pain until it was finished”.
Through marking his body at the trauma site and enduring five hours of pain under the needle, Adrian was able to come to terms with his physical injury and obtain a sense of control.
Likewise, the tattoo embellished the “ugly” stab wound with another more socially accepted wound.
Through the tattoo Adrian negotiates both his scar and memories with himself and others.

“As information on Cambodian birds has grown exponentially since the 1990s, the country has needed a national treatment synthesizing latest knowledge on its fascinating avifauna for some time.
The Birds of Cambodia, An Annotated Checklist addresses this need. The book provides an exhaustive account of all 599 bird species confirmed for Cambodia to date, with information on seasonal status, abundance, habitats, altitude range and distribution, in addition to notes on breeding and conservation status. Over 80 species are illustrated by colour photographs taken in the wild in Cambodia.
The introduction presents the country’s natural geography, major habitats, protected areas, ornithological history and survey coverage, as well as threats to birds and conservation successes and challenges. Species accounts summarise current knowledge for each species, and are systematically listed with their English, scientific, French and Khmer names, including transliteration. Detailed reviews of records are also provided for rarities and all species of conservation concern, together with a proposed national conservation category.
This landmark in Cambodian ornithology is the result of 12 years of observations and ornithological surveys by the author who lived and travelled extensively in the country from 1994 to 2006, followed by six years of detailed review on a secluded French island. It will undoubtedly become the standard reference for conservationists and ornithologists in Cambodia, as well as all birdwatchers visiting the Kingdom.”

ω-Amino-functionalized polystyrene (PS-NH2) was synthesized at room temperature in the presence of 80% THF / 20% benzene via high-vacuum techniques. Simulations (QM/MM) illustrate the delocalization of electrostatic potential for effective polystyryl anion separation (inner), while the C-Br bond dissociates with preferential orientation.
