PRESENTATION
www.authorstream.com/Presentation/natalykimmel-148327-bea...
To honor the beauty and the rights of the Bonelli Eagles, Nataly Cnyrim-Kimmel has conceived an art project entitled “The Beauty and The Beast. Self-Destruction”. While the sculptural project is clearly making reference to the famous fairy tale, it is also offering a new version of the story, with an eco-reading to it. In this interpretation, Beauty lies in the animal world and Man is revealed to be the Beast, endangering all living beings and as a consequence its own human world. The cycle of life must be preserved, the Beauty can be saved, and the Beast be tamed again. Adorned like a totemic animal by the many colors of a joyful palette, the Bonelli Eagle is presented in a thorn cage, fractured by the power of the Beauty taking off. Despite the thrust, the flight does not take place, hands seize his legs and the bird looses many of his feathers as he struggles to break free. His plumage gets hurt, scattered about in the cage, suspended in the air. The statement is clear: our planet has become a thorny environment, uncomfortable and unwelcoming, in which life can only damage itself.
Despite our love of Beauty, our square rational human logic is not always serving the spirit and dignity of all the living beings it shares the planet with. It is time for Humans to question the logic that has driven them. The Bonelli Eagle becomes in this project the symbol of the Natural Beauty in this world. The Eagle is loosing its mean to fly, its identity and life force. But there is a chance to change: the process can be reversed. Preservation and measures can be put into place to act now. Helping the Bonelli Eagles to survive is a meaningful gesture. To signify this crucial opportunity, Nataly Cnyrim-Kimmel has conceived the feathers as multicolored rubber modules. As a suggestion for the end of the ECO ART PARADE : The first symbolical step could be to reversing the dreadful prospect of the extinction of this specie would be to put back the feathers on. The second step would be to be to bring back peacefully the eagle into our world, changing the logic of our actions. So that by protecting him, we will protect our planet, we will protect ourselves.
To sensitize the public to the Eagle’s cause, the artist would like to propose to the Eco-Art Parade a few events around the production of multicolored feathers, the creation of a The feathers would become the ambassadors of the Eagle’s cause. They would be sent around the world to be signed by VIPs and celebrities of the art and environmental world present in Monaco would be gathered for a signing event. Moreover an edition of the feathers as pen, pencils or more complex objects could be made for the general public. Sotheby’s International could in addition to the sale of the Eagle, auction some of the special signed feathers conceived as collectibles. Multiple forms of events and production of secondary products to mark the importance of the Eco-Parade and the Bonelli Eagles could be imagined on the basis of this sculptural project. All proceeds of the sales via auctions or shops, online or on site, of the signed and unsigned feathers and feather-objects would benefit the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.
Feather - Mania !!!
An educational program involving the schools of the Principality would be designed for children to learn about the environment and the Bonelli Eagles. Special Arts and crafts workshops would be lead by the artist, as she feels very committed to youth and the role of the arts in contributing to better the world. During one of the workshops, the children could participate in a determinant action to gather the feathers scattered in the exhibited cage and put them back on the sculpture. The artist and a young aware generation would join in this gesture full of hope for the future. To seal the Parade in a poetic and concrete manner, a couple of Bonelli Eagles (Male & Female) equipped with a tracking system could be released and their flight toward a safe new life could be monitored on a giant public screen as well as on the web. The movement from Art to Life would thus be accomplished, and the Bonelli Eagles, all plumage on being a reality to the people of the Eco Art Parade. Please see the technical documents and portfolio of sketches accompanying this text to have a visual idea of the proposal. The studio is at your entire disposition should you need more information!
Material Description
Feather : The feathers will be conceived as a decorative modular system. Made out of rubber they can fit together like a puzzle to create many different patterns and designs. The individual pieces come in 8 different forms, 8 standard colors, 3 metallic colors and 3 velvet colors. The size of each piece is customizable. The feathers will be water resistant and can be created in different materials in order to fit specific needs. They can be used as interior and/or exterior decorations, shower mats, lampshade, floors and wall coverings. They could be turned easily into pencils or ball pen holders
Panels :
Size: 270x270x3,7mm Weight-Piece: 98g Material: Erbit C-Hooks : 2g
Eagle Cage :
Cube Acrylic frame / cube shape Size 2100 x 2100 x 2100 mm Square acrylic tube 25 x 25 mm Three way junction at each corner
One of the essential parts of my project is the uniquely conceived, colorful feathers, which I will place on and around the Bonelli Eagle sculpture symbolizing the disappearance of animal life from our natural environment. The feathers that are attached to the Eagle will contain the signatures of various celebrities, dignitaries and supporters like you. I have already received signatures from Bill Clinton , Queen Noor of Jordan, Anastacia, etc.

Projet de Nataly Cnyrim-Kimmel
Afin d’honorer la beauté et les droits des Aigles Bonelli, Nataly Cnyrim-Kimmel a conçu un projet intitulé “ La Belle et la Bête. Auto-Destruction”. Tout en faisant référence au conte de fée, ce projet propose une lecture écologique du conte. Dans cette nouvelle interprétation, la Belle est l’oiseau et c’est à l’homme que revient le rôle de la Bête, mettant en danger tous les êtres du monde et en conséquence l’humanité. Le cycle de vie doit être préservé, la Belle peut être sauvée, et la Bête apprivoisée.
Paré de couleurs joyeuses tel un animal totémique, l’Aigle Bonelli est enfermé dans une cage épineuse qu’il brise en prenant son envol. Malgré son élan vers le ciel, l’échappée n’a pas lieu, des mains se saisissent de lui et luttant pour s’envoler l’oiseau perds ses plumes. Son plumage est endommagé, les plumes sont éparpillées dans la cage, suspendues dans les airs.
Le propos est clair: la planète est devenue un environnement hardu, inhospitalié, même dangeureux, où il ne fait plus bon vivre. Malgré notre amour de la Beauté, notre raison cartésienne qui appréhende la vie de facon peut être un peu trop mathématique, ne prends pas toujours en consideration l’esprit et la dignité des êtres qui partagent cette planète avec nous. Il est temps pour les humains de remettre en question leur logique de vie sur terre.
Pour ce projet, l’Aigle Bonelli est devenu le symbole de la Beauté Naturelle dans ce monde. L’aigle a perdu les moyens de voler, son identité, sa force de vie. Mais il est possible de changer: le processus peut être inversé. Des mesures de préservations peuvent être implémentées pour agir rapidement. Protéger l’Aigle Bonelli est un geste exemplaire. Pour souligner ce fait, Nataly Cnyrim-Kimmel a conçu le plumage multicolore de sa sculpture de telle facon que les plumes soient des modules légers facilement détachables et ratachables au modèle de l’oiseau. Le premier geste symbolique pour protéger cette espèce en voie de disparition serait de remettre sur l’oiseau les plumes éparpillées et suspendues dans la cage. Le second plus concret serait de réintégrer et de sauvegarder l’Aigle Bonelli dans nos environs, nous changerions ainsi la logique de nos actions. En le protegeant nous protégeons notre planète et nous nous protégeons nous-même.
Pour sensibiliser le public à la cause de l’Aigle Bonelli, l’artiste voudrait proposer quelques évènements et la production de plumes de couleurs, la création d’une Plume Mania ! Les plumes deviendraient les ambassadeurs de l’Aigle Bonelli. Elles seraient envoyées autour du monde à des VIP, et les célébrités de l’art et de l’environnement présents à Monaco seraient invités à une signature de plume ! De plus les plumes pourraient être offertes au grand public sous forme de stylots, crayons mais aussi sous la forme d’autres objets un peu plus développés.
Tout comme la sculpture de l’aigle, une edition limitée de plumes signées pourraient être vendue aux enchères par Sothebys International en clôture de Parade. Plusieurs formes d’évènements et de produits dérivés pourraient être imaginés sur la base de ce projet. Tous les bénéfices des ventes en magasins ou en salles des ventes, en ligne ou sur place reviendraient à la Fondation Prince Albert II de Monaco.
Un programme éducatif établi en collaboration avec les écoles de la Principauté aurait pour but de sensibiliser les enfants à la cause de l’Aigle Bonelli et plus généralement aux problèmes de l’environnement. L’artiste dirigerait elle-même les ateliers d’art plastiques. Nataly Cnyrim-Kimmel tient beaucoup à assurer ce role de liaison avec la jeunesse et à utiliser l’art comme véhicule de sensibilisation pour une cause importante. Lors du dernier atelier, les enfants pourraient participer avec elle à une action déterminante pour le projet : rassembler les plumes éparpillées dans la cage exposée et de les rattacher à la sculpture. L’artiste et une jeune génération alerte feraient ensemble ce geste qui porte en lui un espoir pour le futur.
Pour clôre la Parade de façon poétique et concrète, un couple d’Aigle Bonelli pourrait être relaché en liberté équipé d’un système de surveillance électronique. Leurs vols pourraient être diffusé sur des écrans géants et sur un site internet. L’art nous renvérait ainsi vers la vie et l’Aigle Bonelli tout plumage lissé serait une realité pour les spectateurs de L’Eco Art Parade de Monaco.

Working on my website ABOUT ME page, I wanted a portrait that was creative and original.
This is just part of the ABOUT ME page
-Marc
I performed a Google Image Search just on "Asian women," "American women," and "Asian American women" for a presentation that I made on stereotypes and identities of Asian American Youth. I wanted to demonstrate the pervasive stereotypes of Asian women as hyper-hyper sexualized bodies and that general cultural stereotype was also evident in a simple online image search where the rankings are based on algorithms.
The screenshot of the results are in the picture above. You can see a comparison of the results for Asian Women (on the left) in comparison to Caucasian Women (on the right). The Asian American Google Image Search revealed pictures of every Asian woman naked, legs spread open, and in a sexual positions. In contrast, the Caucasian Women search revealed a variety of images of women from wearing suits to profile shots. None of the Caucasian women were naked or in a sexual position.
When I presented my search during my talk, someone asked ted me to type in “Korean, Japanese, black, African America." Even after performing each of those searchers, “Asian women” still won as the most sexualized google image search. When you perform the search based on more specific cultures, like “Dominican” - it’s not as sexualized as “Latina.” Same for when you search “Japanese” - it’s not as sexualized as “Asian.” Sometimes sweeping stereotypes are easier for mass groupings of people.
From the search results, there are no other groups that are as sexualized as the generic “Asian woman.” Latina comes the closest. You can see for “Arab women” you can plenty of images of the stereotypes veiled woman.
SO for Google searches – it’s just based on algorithms on what users are clicking through and page ranking based on how many sites point to the webpage - which all determines the relevancy of the answers to the search query.
But just a simple Google search can show the type of social stereotypes that exist out there – based on the distribution of what internet users are clicking, pointing and linking to. And in this case I think it can even demonstrate the extent of a stereotype. In Google image search, there are no hierarchies of approval that the images have to go through as opposed to traditional media (newspapers, TV shows and etc), where images usually become racialized in the approval process. Try the google search yourself -make sure the "safe mode" it turned off.

Analysis by Dan Lane, Baton Rouge, LA
In response to a few of the day's comments, I should clarify that I (or Alvaro, I suspect) was not suggesting that the bird in question was the offspring of South American-breeding Barn Swallow. I don't discount the possibility, although I think it is rather unlikely. Instead, I simply was stating that this particular bird agrees very much with Barn Swallows (North American breeders) I see while on their travels in South America in their non-breeding season (the plate I painted for Birds of Peru show three juvs, two mostly fresh, and one fairly worn, in an effort to show the differences at the different wear stages one is likely to see there). Young birds in South America (and even here in North America by November and December) have very bleached foreheads and throats as is the bird in question. The lack of a dark collar does not bother me in the least, as North American birds tend to have a weak collar, if any at all. The photos linked to by Jeff Bleam in his latest post showing juvenile Barn Swallows with broad dark collars are all from the Old World (Europe and Africa, if you see the locality information on the right side of the webpages). The Old World subspecies of Barn Swallows (rustica, for example) *do* have broad, obvious collars, but this feature is all but lacking in American birds (erythrogaster). Any comparison of European and North American field guides (or simply looking in Sibley or National Geographic) should instantly show this distinction.
I have seen a probable Cliff X Barn hybrid while coleading a tour with Jon Dunn in California in October 1999 (I'll have to dig up my field sketches of that bird to remind myself of the markings that led us to that identification, but I clearly remember the deeply notched tail and buff rump, as noticeable as on Cliff, as two outstanding characters). There is also a specimen of what is probably this hybrid combination (or perhaps Cave X Barn?) in the LSU Museum, a bird found emaciated on a road in S Louisiana in December (!). Again, the Cliff-like buff rump is one of the outstanding characters.
In Mr. Bleam's photo of the bird in question in flight:
www.flickr.com/photos/byjcb/12868411693/
I don't see any such buff rump band, I *do* see a long tail, and dark neck sides suggesting even the edges of a "semi-collar" (not completed across the meeting of throat and breast feathers). Furthermore, the bird has no darkness on the throat at all, which I could expect of Cliff parentage, rather the throat and forehead are concolor (as they are in juv Barn). What I see is a white patch on a rectrix (either a bit of poop or an out-of-place outer rectrix showing the white typical of Barn, absent in Cliff), and buff on the very sides of the rump where the flanks and undertail coverts should be (which should be buff in a Barn, mostly whitish in a Cliff). The white stripes in the back, to me, suggest exposed whitish down along the mantle/scapular edge that I would mark down as being related to the odd stage of molt of this individual. So, again, I see no evidence of any Cliff Swallow in this bird at all.
Here is a juv Barn showing the white borders to the scaps/mantle and relative lack of a breastband:

This is a juv. Barn Swallow by Greg Lasley in Texas, September:
www.greglasley.net/images/BA/Barn-Swallow-0035.jpg
And some photos of Barn Swallows in heavy molt in Argentina:
www.avespampa.com.ar/Hirundinidae.htm
I would add that the wonderful series of photos by Suzanne Sullivan also show Barns in comparable stages of molt. Many thanks to Suzanne for her link!
www.pbase.com/suzsull/breeding_ground_molt_barn_swallows_...
Relatively few North American birders are likely to see young Barn Swallows in this molt stage, since such molt is usually conducted entirely on the wintering grounds. Thus, it's understandable that the plumage is one rather unfamiliar to most North American birders, but quite familiar with those who have had the chance to see the species in Latin America, hence my (and Alvaro's) comments.
Here is a snapshot of the pics portion of my sock website. These are photos that I just added to my sock website. They are free to view and even download to your own collection if you wish.

Kodak Kodachrome Film: Right before it was discontinued, I knew that it would become a piece of history, so I grabbed the webpage display of Kodachrome film for sale on Kodak's site. I plan to post this on flickr's various pools that are slide and/or Kodachrome related. It was possible to process Ektachrome at home. I processed many rolls of Anscochrome GAF [if you remember that one] at home. It took many more steps than B&W film. I believe all together it was about 12 counting the rinses. It also took a "reversal exposure" before the second developer. I am not going to get into it too deeply here. Kodachrome on the other hand took many hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment if not a million in some high-volume labs. The three layers of filtered B&W had to be individually infused with RBG dyes. There are still a few labs around that will process Kodachrome film and movie film at a premium price. I have 16mm film for the late 1940s and the color has held up wonderfully because of the stability of the dies. The wizard of Oz was shot in "Technicolor" which is the Hollywood presentation name given to using this type of film. Other slide film have displayed tendencies to extreme color shifts as many people can attest to. Kodachrome required much greater amounts of silver which were needed during WW2 so cheaper films were developed such as Ektachrome.
Kodachrome vs Ektachrome:

Addendum: That's strange for Kodak to continue to make Kodachrome Slide Film KR-64, where only one lab in the world is processing it!!!

Finally I've had a good chance to photograph these amazing animals, which is up with the wombat and platypus as my favourite of all animals, at least from Australia. They were captive, there was a family of about seven young Quolls in one of the three Tiger Quoll enclosures down the back. Not really awake during the day the night tour is the best time to see them.
Spotted Tailed Quoll - Dasyurus Maculatus
The spotted-tailed quoll (Dasyurus maculatus - or tiger cat as it was once inappropriately known) is the second largest of the world's surviving carnivorous marsupials. Spotted-tailed quolls vary from reddish brown to dark chocolate brown with white spots on the body and tail (unlike eastern quolls which do not have spots on the tail). The species is considerably larger than the eastern quoll, with males measuring up to 130 cm long and 4 kg in weight. Females are significantly smaller than males.
The eyes and ears of the spotted-tailed quoll are comparatively smaller than those of fellow marsupial the eastern quoll. Also, the spotted-tailed quoll is physically strong in appearance, with a thick snout and wide gape.
The spotted-tailed quoll is also found on the east coast of mainland Australia, but is rare. Two subspecies have been descibed -- a smaller one (D. m. gracilis) is found in northern Queensland. D. m. maculatus occurs from southern Queensland to Tasmania. The spotted-tailed quoll is now threatened throughout its mainland range.
Spotted-tailed quolls are most common in cool temperate rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest and coastal scrub along the north and west coasts of the state.
Spotted-tail quolls are largely solitary and nocturnal, although the species does sometimes forage and bask during daylight hours. Spotted-tailed quolls spend a tenth of their time moving with agility above the forest floor on logs or in trees.
The spotted-tailed quoll is a capable hunter that, like the eastern quoll, kills its prey by biting on or behind the head. Prey taken by the spotted-tailed quoll include rats, gliding possums, small or injured wallabies, reptiles and insects. Birds and eggs are also taken from time to time. Carrion is frequently eaten by spotted-tailed quolls and even tip scavenging and beachcombing occur. Large spotted-tailed quolls compete directly with Tasmanian devils for food -- one female has even been seen to chase a Tasmanian devil away from a carcase!

Installation of my latest project, a sequence of painted panels to adorn the Altar wall at English Martyrs Catholic church in Hillmorton, Rugby.
The subject is the English Martyrs, since previously there had been no depiction of them in the church. Given the large number of Catholic martyrs during and after the Reformation I chose to portray them in procession descending towards the altar around the already existing Resurrected Christ (which we moved higher up the wall). The two central groups of figures are more recognisable/better known martyrs led by St Thomas More and St John Fisher.

This is a photograph from the BHAA K-Club 10KM Road Race and Fun Run 2014 was held at the K-Club Golf and Hotel Resort, Straffan, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 12th of April 2013 at 11:00. The race, an annual event, has become famous for it's very fast and flat course which starts and finishes within the grounds of the K-Club. While the weather was dry there was a tough breeze in places which made running conditions a little harder than expected. The road race has gained fame through it's PB potential but the spread of refreshments and catering afterwards are now legendary and are of the highest standard imaginable. Race director Gerry Byrne and a very large team of volunteers, K-Club staff, and local Gardai must be given the highest of compliments for the staging of the event. Well done everyone.
We have an extensive set of photographs on our Flickr Photostream: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157643843402565/

All profits from the event are donated to charity with the chosen charity for the race being the Parkinsons Association of Ireland. With stiff competition from a number of Parkruns and other races in the North Leinster area the K-Club 10KM stood out for it's flawless organisation, large field, and epic spread of refreshments afterwards.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
