Dear friends, Our team just returned from another exhausting and richly rewarding trip to Midway. This time we brought with us the new RED Epic camera, and our albatross friends brought us stunning visual gifts as we recorded their takeoff runs, water-skimming glides, soarings, and feedings, all in gorgeous ultra slow motion.

One of our first stops on the island was to check up on our little friend Miguel who we witnessed hatch back in February. When we left the island last time, Miguel was looking weak and was having trouble standing up to receive his feedings, so our hopes for the little guy were not high. Here is an update on what we found when we arrived at his nest: This entry was posted in General, Videos and tagged albatross, chris jordan, jan vozenilek, jim hurst, Joe Schweers, Laysan albatross, manuel maqueda, midway, midway atoll, midway film, midway island, midway journey, ocean pollution, plastic pollution, victoria sloan jordan, video.

RIP Amina. Soutenez la marche pour l'eau et pour la vie en Equateur. À: M. Rafael Correa Delgado, Président de la République de l’Equateur García Moreno N10-43 Entre Chile y Espejo Quito - Equateur ______________________________________________________ Monsieur le Président, Le 22 mars 2012, des milliers de personnes ont afflué vers Quito et ont comme inondé la ville. Ils ne désirent pas (sur)vivre dans un pays détruit par l'exploitation minière et pétrolière. Ils ne sont pas disposés à accepter un futur fait de rivières mortes, de personnes malades, d'extinction d'espèces et de forêts dévastées. C'est la raison pour laquelle ils ont entamé une marche pour la défense de l'eau comme bien commun, pour la souveraineté de la population, et pour le respect de la nature.

Par cette lettre, j'exprime ma solidarité avec les femmes et les hommes qui ont participé à cette marche pour la vie. . - garantir le droit d'accès libre à l'eau et à son utilisation comme un bien commun - stopper l'expansion des champs pétrolifères et suspendre les opérations dans le secteur 31. Maison de la culture du Japon à Paris - site officiel. Château de Chambord. En 1519, François Ier ouvre à quelques lieues de Blois, au cœur d’un désert d’arbres et de marais prés d’un village à demi abandonné, un immense chantier dont il ne verra pas la fin. François Ier visite quatorze fois le chantier de Chambord. Le château connaît l’abandon régulier propre aux résidences royales : le roi, en effet, sillonne son royaume pour se faire voir et imposer son autorité.

L’édifice conserve la silhouette d’un château fort, flanqué de tours, ceinturé de douves ; mais les innovations rapportées d’Italie lui donnent sa singularité. Vainqueur de la bataille de Marignan, François I entend séduire par les pierres comme il a séduit par les armes. Pour ce prince qui dessine à ses heures perdues des palais de papier, il est temps d’éblouir le monde par une œuvre parfaite et nouvelle. Au sortir de l’escalier, on prend pied sur les terrasses. Une vis mène au sommet de cette tour lanterne aux reflets bleus. Château et parc sont indissociables. Le Château de Chambord. Musée Guimet virtuel. Mont Saint Michel. Untitled.

Le leader des moteurs de recherche a ajouté il y a quelques mois à sa brique logicielle une application de gestion d'économie d'énergie domestique. Courant décembre, il a annoncé la mise en place prochaine d'un système de suivi et de surveillance de la déforestation mondiale en utilisant l'imagerie par satellite. La nouvelle application a été conçue en association avec le Carnegie Institution for Science et Imazon. Pour évaluer la déforestation dans certaines régions du monde, le logiciel s'appuit sur les données d'images satellitaires du passé, du présent et même du futur grâce à la modélisation. Ce processus pourrait ainsi donner l'endroit exact où la déforestation atteint son maximum. En tant que composant de sa branche philantropique (Google.org), cette technologie sera proposée dans un but non commercial.

SXSW 2011: The internet is over. If my grandchildren ever ask me where I was when I realised the internet was over – they won't, of course, because they'll be too busy playing with the teleportation console – I'll be able to be quite specific: I was in a Mexican restaurant opposite a cemetery in Austin, Texas, halfway through eating a taco. It was the end of day two of South by Southwest Interactive, the world's highest-profile gathering of geeks and the venture capitalists who love them, and I'd been pursuing a policy of asking those I met, perhaps a little too aggressively, what it was exactly that they did.

Important Lessons Photoshop Users Can Learn From Motion Graphic Artists. I have during my time in school had the privilege to work in both Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. Having worked in both these applications has given me useful knowledge about how to work more efficiently. Practices used in Photoshop can be translated to something similar in After Effects and vise versa. Today I will illustrate 3 practices the other way around — from After Effects to Photoshop: Compositing and InstantiationLet the Software Do the Work for YouToggling Variations Compositing and Instantiation When working with video you usually make up the video by combining or “compositing” elements to create scenes. Can you find any composited elements in this video? Personally I think people are not compositing enough because of old habits, maybe you are used in working in a certain way.

How to Make Good Use of Compositing in Photoshop First of all, this technique can only be applied in Photoshop CS2 (9.0) and more recent versions. Instead of merging, use a Smart Object.

Technically it's the Svalbard International Seed Vault.

The media has hailed it as an attempt to create a doomsday ark containing a wide variety of seeds to ensure the future of agriculture in the event of widespread crop disasters. A closer look behind the curtains finds some suspicious characters heavily vested in the vault's activity.The doomsday seed vault is situated on the island of Spitzbergen, Norway, located in the Svalbard island group within the Arctic Circle.

It exists in an old copper mine, which is connected by a long steel tunnel from outside of the mine's mountain. It is considered a safety deposit box back up for all other seed banks located throughout the world, of which there are many. Norway technically owns the vault, and endows those who place seeds into the vault with absolute ownership and access of the seeds. Engdahl suspects something is rotten in Svalbard.

Jack L. Snyder - Anarchy and Culture: Insights from the Anthropology of War - International Organization 56:1. [Access article in PDF] Anarchy and Culture: Insights from the Anthropology of War Jack Snyder The end of the Cold War has given rise to hopes among many international relations scholars and public activists that a dramatic transformation in world politics is now unfolding. They contend that changes in norms, ideas, and culture have the power to tame the historically war-prone nature of international anarchy. 1 This analysis and the prescriptions that follow from it exaggerate the autonomy of ideas and culture in shaping behavior in anarchy.

Those who foresee substantial opportunities to transform the war-prone international system into a realm governed by benign norms contend that "anarchy is what states make of it. " 2 In their view, culture, defined as shared knowledge or symbols that create meaning within a social group, determines whether behavior in the absence of a common governing authority is bloody or benign. This is a debate of compelling intellectual and practical import. War. Sabotage. A United States poster from the World War II-era that was used to inform people about what they should do if they suspect sabotage Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening a polity or corporation through subversion, obstruction, disruption, destruction, or underhand tactics. In a workplace setting, sabotage is the conscious withdrawal of efficiency generally directed at causing some change in workplace conditions. One who engages in sabotage is a saboteur.

Saboteurs typically try to conceal their identities because of the consequences of their actions. Etymology[edit] Claimed explanations include: Luddites and radical labor unions such as the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) have advocated sabotage as a means of self-defense and direct action against unfair working conditions. The IWW was shaped in part by the industrial unionism philosophy of Big Bill Haywood, and in 1910 Haywood was exposed to sabotage while touring Europe: As environmental action[edit] As war tactic[edit] Self Sufficient Survival. 25 bancos de imágenes gratuitos.

7ème art - Films. Be The Change... Fascinating Lamps by Calabarte | Pondly. Calabarte is the pseudonym of a Polish artist named Przemek Krawczynski, whose art takes on a peculiar but incredibly beautiful form: cool lamps. The name itself is a portmanteau of two words – art (obviously), and calabash, the fruit that carries his imagination.

The calabash is a bottle gourd originating in India, although Calabarte gets his supply from Senegal. Due to ancient domestication and usage, the bottle gourd has an incredibly tough outer shell. In the past, the gourd’s usage was defined mostly as a water container, due to having a tough, smooth shell with an ergonomic shape for handling, and natural buoyancy on water. Nevertheless, it’s edible both raw and cooked, and used in various cuisines.

But Calabarte’s usage for the gourd has to do with neither eating nor drinking, but rather, carving. Due to the combination of dark, thick material with a light source within, the primary art of his work, however, shines in the dark. Website. Anamorphic Drawings: Hidden Images Revealed.
