Printables for creating this display are HERE.

This simple display was put up in September on on a glass partition separating our library from our library computer lab (the display "Websites You May Like" is on the reverse side).

The signs each speak to taking care of school textbooks and library books with comments such as, "Avoid the temptation to draw beards and body parts on the photos in your books."

The signs may be little bit tongue-in-cheek, but the junior high students at our school thought them funny and valid as they've seen the results of those who use textbooks as coasters for their slushies, taken sissors to pages to clip photos for their assignment, etc.

These photos are from an album my spouse's uncle, Elstner Hilton, compiled during his stay in Japan between 1914 and 1918.

While the album contains many interesting and helpful notations about the subject matter, there is no indication as to the date the photo was taken. For that reason, all I can say is the photo dates from between 1914 and 1918.

Smiths Row, The Market Cross, Cornhill, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 1BT
Tel: +44 (0) 1284 762081

We are happy to welcome Australian artists Tanya Schultz, Nicole Andrijevic and John Kassab to Smiths Row in what is their first major British show. Schultz and Andrijevic have worked in collaboration since 2007 using the alias Pip & Pop and this is their second collaboration with sound artist Kassab.

Sweet sweet galaxy is a unique installation depicting an infinite psychedelic landscape. An amalgamation of numerous materials including coloured sugar, fine sand, cake decorations, origami, found objects, LED lights and sound, this colourful sensory kingdom will be constructed directly in the gallery space in early January.

The soundscape, created in collaboration with Melbourne-based John Kassab, adds another layer of immersion to the audience experience and sense of being transported to a faraway or imagined place. Whilst the soundscape adds to the narrative of the imagined landscape, interpreting the sounds with sugar has been central to Pip & Pop's process when working with John.

The sugar used in this exhibition has been kindly donated by Silverspoon. As the sole producers of homegrown British sugar the company supports 1200 East Anglian beet farmers. According to Dan Gough of Silverspoon: "the sugar used in this exhibition was grown an average of 30 miles away from the gallery".

#30. (#24) field from Hubble Ultra Deep Field 832 X 833 p tif 2.72 MB png 1.86 MB
This field is 61 sec wide = 1 minute wide. RTM-1 is the pair of blue spots just above the large magenta galaxy in the lower left. There are six more suggestive blue spot pairs in this field.

RTM-1, closeup view in #21, is very like CSL-1, only blue and more separated, but with the similar equality of size and color. It turns out that there are so many easily found pairs of all sizes, down to single pixel bright spots separated by a pixel space, that statistical studies are appropriate. Views # 20 to 29 will explore the HUDF, and provide many helpful links.

The colors have been adjusted to reveal a few faint distant red sources, as well as a background of tiny blue sources, 1-2 pixel size, which are always on the background of dark tangled Murray mesh -- easier to see at first behind the red light scattered inside the Hubble Space Telescope by the much nearer bright star, and also behind the large blue white galaxy in the upper right. Click on All Sizes to view the Original.

I used an excellent low cost image processing program, MGI PhotoSuite 4.0, to adjust the colors to bring out the subtle background details:
Touchup feature: Soften: reduced from 3 to 0, as I wanted to maximize the raw detail.
Color Adjustment: Cyan-Red +100 Magenta-Green +25 Yellow-Blue +50,
as empirically this created a pleasing, easy to view image with maximum detail.
Brightness: increased from 0 to 50, to increase the dark background details.
Gamma: reduced from 1.00 to 0.80, to increase the dark background details.
Fix Colors: Hue: shifted 0 to -60, to accentuate the background of myriad minute
bright blue sources without losing information from the red end of the spectrum.

www.aip.de/groups/galaxies/sw/udf/index.php# The UDF Skywalker allows you to scan the entire HUDF with a movable magnifying glass that shows about this scale of detail. You can discern Murray mesh with it.

Cosmic String Dynamics and Evolution

'After formation, an initially high density string network begins to chop itself up by producing small loops. These loops oscillate rapidly (relativistically) and decay away into gravitational waves. The net result is that the strings become more and more dilute with time as the universe expands. From an enormous density at formation, mathematical modelling suggests that today there would only be about 10 long strings stretching across the observed universe, together with about a thousand small loops!

In fact the network dynamics is such that the string density will eventually stabilize at an exactly constant level relative to the rest of the radiation and matter energy density in the universe. Thus the string evolution is described as `scaling' or scale-invariant, that is, the properties of the network look the same at any particular time t if they are scaled (or multiplied) by the change in the time.'

If you inspect this carefully, especially holding a 4 inch reading glass close to both of your eyes, focussing on the tiny bright blue sources, you will easily discern many suggestive pairs, right down to the limit of two single pixel spots separated by a pixel, or even the many double pixel spots. The two sides of the convex reading glass function as opposed prisms, separating the reds and blues in such a way as to make the reds appear about a centimeter closer, creating a lovely, revealing 3D image, while moving the glass back and forth can flexibly adjust the smoothness and the sharpness of the image.

I found that using a 6X5 inch concave glass, which in effect has prisms opposed in the opposite direction of a convex lens, makes a smaller overall image in which the blues appear closer than the reds, which I surmise is the actual reality for these images for the background.

Flame virus most powerful espionage tool ever, UN warns

By Damien McElroy ... 8:05PM BST 29 May 2012

The Flame virus is the most powerful espionage tool ever to target countries, a United Nations agency responsible for regulating the internet has warned.

Figures released by the Kaspersky Lab show that infections by the programme were spread across the Middle East with 189 attacks in Iran, 98 incidents in the West Bank, 32 in Sudan and 30 in Syria

This is the most serious warning we have ever put out," said Marco Obiso, cyber security coordinator for the UN's Geneva-based International Telecommunications Union.

The formal warning will tell member nations that the Flame virus is a dangerous espionage tool that could potentially be used to attack critical infrastructure, he said. "They should be on alert."

Orla Cox, a security analyst at the security firm Symantec, said that Flame was targeting specific individuals, apparently Iranian related. "The way it has been developed is unlike anything we've seen before," she said. "It's huge. It's like using an atomic weapon to crack a nut."

Figures released by the Kaspersky Lab show that infections by the programme were spread across the Middle East with 189 attacks in Iran, 98 incidents in the West Bank, 32 in Sudan and 30 in Syria.

Other countries where the virus was detected include Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Evidence suggest that the virus, dubbed Flame, may have been built on behalf of the same nation or nations that commissioned the Stuxnet worm that attacked Iran's nuclear program in 2010, according to Kaspersky Lab, the Russian cyber security software maker that took credit for discovering the infections.

"I think it is a much more serious threat than Stuxnet," Mr Obiso said.

Unlike the Stuxnet virus that was previously used to disrupt Iranian systems, Flame does not disrupt or terminate systems.

Iran, whose nuclear facilities and oil ministry have previously been the target of virus attacks, accuses the US and Israel of trying to sabotage its programme. It denies the allegation that its programme is weapons related.

A leading Israeli politician hinted at the country's involvement in the virus. Israel rejects Tehran's claims that its nuclear programme is designed to produce energy, not bombs. It considers Iran to be the greatest threat to its survival.

"Whoever sees the Iranian threat as a significant threat is likely to take various steps, including these, to hobble it," Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon told Army Radio. "Israel is blessed with high technology, and we boast tools that open all sorts of opportunities for us."

Yadlin: Israel faces 'extraordinary' events, threats

By JPOST.COM STAFF

www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=271883

Israel is facing "extraordinary" events and threats, said former IDF intelligence chief Amos Yadlin Maj. Gen (res.), Head of the Institute for National Security Studies at a major Tuesday night conference. Yadlin mentioned that his institute had organized the conference around five main issues, including: the Iranian nuclear threat, Arab uprisings across the Middle East, relations with the US and the relationship of the security budget to new economic priorities following the social protest movement.

He suggested that it was critical to try any third alternative to solve the Iranian nuclear issue besides Iran "getting the bomb" or Israel "bombing them." The Iran working group discussed several "third-way" alternatives and also put forward ideas about how to strategically handle the "day after" should Israel attack Iran.

...'Flame' bug has been used to hack into Iran computers
...Trojan superbug 100 times bigger than most forms of malicious software

By DAVID GARDNER
PUBLISHED: 14:56 EST, 29 May 2012 | UPDATED: 18:41 EST, 29 May 2012

www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2151809/Flame-vir...

The United Nations is set to issue an urgent warning to guard against the most powerful computer virus ever unleashed amid fears it could be used to bring countries to a standstill.

In what was being seen last night as the dawn of a new era in cyber warfare, UN computer security chief Marco Obiso said: 'This is the most serious warning we have ever put out.'

He was speaking after it was revealed that a massive superbug had been used to hack into computers in Iran.

Israel did little to dispute claims yesterday that it was behind the clandestine online assault.

The sophisticated spyware – said to be about 100 times the size of most malicious software – also hacked other machines in the Middle East, including Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Egypt, but Iran appeared to be the primary target, according to a Russian Internet security firm.

.
.

Mr. Obiso, cyber security coordinator for the UN's International Telecommunications Union, said the warning will underline the danger the virus represents to the critical infrastructure of member nations.

Dubbed 'Flame', the Trojan bug worms its way into computer systems and reportedly turns infected machines into listening devices.

It can activate a computer's audio system to eavesdrop on Skype calls or office chatter, take screenshots or log keystrokes and even suck information from Bluetooth-enabled phones left nearby.

'The complexity and functionality of the newly discovered malicious programme exceed those of all other cyber menaces known to date.

'It pretty much redefines the notion of cyber war and cyber espionage,' said Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab ZAO.

The company's conclusion that the superbug was crafted at the behest of a national government fuelled claims that Flame was part of an Israeli-backed campaign of electronic sabotage aimed at archrival Iran.

And the Israelis didn't try and deflect blame.

'Whoever sees the Iranian threat as a significant threat is likely to take various threats, including these, to hobble it,' said Israel's Vice Premier Moshe Yaalon when he was asked about the virus.

'Israel is blessed with high technology and we boast tools that open all sorts of opportunities for us,' he added.

Alan Woodward, a professor of computing at the University of Surrey, compared the virus to a smartphone. Depending on what espionage you want to carry out, 'you just add apps.'

He said Flame's ability to attack Bluetooth-enabled devices left near a computer attack was 'very unusual.'

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications protocol generally used for wireless headsets, in-car audio systems or file swapping between mobile phones.
.
.

-----THE MOST COMPLEX 'CYBER WEAPON' OF ALL TIME - WHAT FLAME DOES

The virus contains about 20 times as much code as Stuxnet, which attacked an Iranian uranium enrichment facility, causing centrifuges to fail.

It has about 100 times as much code as a typical virus designed to steal financial information, Kaspersky Labs said.

Flame can gather data files, remotely change settings on computers, turn on PC microphones to record conversations, take screen shots and log instant messaging chats.

He said there was evidence to suggest the code was commissioned by the same nation or nations that were behind Stuxnet and Duqu, which were built on a common platform.
.
.

Professor Woodward said that Flame turns an infected computer into a kind of 'industrial vacuum cleaner,' copying data from vulnerable cell phones or other devices left near it.

'I don't believe I've seen it before,' he added.

Udi Mokady, the head of Cyber-Ark, an Israeli developer of information security, claimed only four countries – the US, Israel, Russia and China - had the technological know-how to develop so sophisticated an electronic offensive.

'It's a live programme that communicates back to its master. It asks, where should I go? What should I do now? It's really almost like a science fiction movie,' he said.

The Russians discovered the virus after being asked by the United Nations to find a piece of mystery malware that was wiping out sensitive information across the Middle East.

It is believed to have been coded by the same programmers who hacked into Iran's nuclear programme six years ago.

Last night, Iran's National Computer Emergency Response Team posted a security alert saying it believed Flame was responsible for 'recent incidents of mass data loss.' It also claimed an antidote had been found.

The discovery of the Flame virus came just days after talks between Iran and six world powers in Baghdad failed to persuade Tehran to freeze uranium enrichment. A new round of talks is expected to take place in Moscow next month.

(animated stereo) Broadway on a Rainy Day, 1859

Image by Thiophene_Guy
To animate the image scroll down to the first comment below or view original size.

Details and History
The Wikimedia Commons website offers a multitude of historical images with no restrictions on use. This William Notman branded stereoview titled Broadway on a rainy day is from the Instantaneous Views of New York series. Though Notman (1826-1891) was a prominent 19th century photographer renowned for his innovative photography, he may have merely published this. The same image appears at www.common-place.org/vol-10/no-04/lessons/ attributed to E & H T Anthony, Anthony's instantaneous views no. 188 (1859), and in a similarly attributed image in the NYPL digital gallery..

Copyright Advisory

This image is also available with bibliographic notes from the New York Public Library's Digital Library under the digital ID digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?G91F183_067F .

Technical trivia
The source PNG file was enhanced in HSL colorspace (Picturewindow Pro) by adjusting the luminance channel color curve. Regions of insignificant intensity were cut then the remaining data was expanded to fill the window. Aggressive noise reduction (Noiseware pro) smoothed dark areas by eliminating white dust and specks. Subsequent image manipulations and animated gif generation done with StereoPhotoMaker, a freeware program by Masuji Suto & David Sykes.

Ok, so this one is with the octa behind me, camera left and a black board to her left (hence her left cheek is dark) then camera right about 2.5 m up and behind her the spot light firing over her left shoulder. I guess the halo behind her is the flash bouncing off the back of her shirt.

Me gusto muchisimo esta por la pose. Me gustan las posturas rectas, orgullosa, algo dominante, sin miedo. Ademas Lucy tiene algo de chica mala en su mirada. La composicion tambien es my simetrica que da un sentido de orden y al mismo de spontaneidad.

Hello and welcome

An idea I saw for a photo long time ago that I took it and made a design for it 5 years ago, now I wanted to do the same as that photo, and I kinda did ok with it!

I used one main light soft box from down and a 2nd light speed light through small soft box from up front to make some fill light.

Hope you like it, and this is the first of many that I have to capture.

Enjoy !

Continued from last photo:

The idea of how to organize the children's papers that parents have to sign off on came up. Another teacher used a inexpensive plastic mailbox (bought at Lowes) and taped pictures on it.
I decided to use old expired calendar pages and a big glue stick for this version. Note--this glue and paper collage technique is only for use with INDOORS mailbox...not outside.

Sorry to everyone whose ideas I blatantly stole. It was wrong and I apologize, but I'm not really sorry. In fact, I may do it again. What do you think of that?

But seriously, I'm very grateful to both fengschwing and revlimiter for the ideas and rottnapples for not complaining when I convert the kitchen counter into a photo studio

Okinawa Soba posted several CC licensed stereoimages life in late 19th & early 20th century Japan (the Meiji period). His photostream and website devoted to T. Enami are a wealth of images augmented by important historical context and analysis. You'd be hard pressed to find these details any where else. The original image used for this gif, presented for parallel viewing and showing a human powered railway in Meiji era Japan, dates to around 1905. It is surprising how commonplace this mode of transport was according to Wikipedia (you can read about it in Japanese or English)

Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum: Gift shop: Original model of the NCC-1701 Enterprise from the 1960s's "Star Trek" TV series

See more photos of this, and the Wikipedia article.

Details, quoting from Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | U.S.S. Enterprise Model, Star Trek:

This model of the fictional startship Enterprise was used in the weekly hour-long "Star Trek" TV show (NBC-TV), which aired from September 1966 until June 1969. Despite its short initial run (only three seasons), Star Trek became one of the most popular shows in the history of television. The show's depiction of a mixed-sex, racially-integrated, multinational crew and its attention to contemporary social and political issues pushed the boundaries of network television, earning Star Trek a dedicated fan base that lobbied for the franchise's continuation.

The Enterprise was meant to travel many times beyond light speed, powered by a controlled matter/anti-matter system, a propulsion concept "stretched" from a then-accepted theory. The fictional ship grossed 190,000 tons, and measured 947 feet long and 417 feet in diameter. The saucer-shaped hull included 11 decks, and had a crew complement of 430.

The model's principal designer, Walter "Matt" Jefferies, worked with concepts provided by Star Trek's creator Gene Roddenberry. At first, Paramount Studios constructed a rough 4-inch balsa and cardboard prototype. A 3-foot "pilot" model mostly of solid wood was then built by model-maker Richard C. Datin under subcontract to the Howard Anderson Company. Enlarging the plans for the 3-foot model resulted in the final 11-foot model shown here. The Anderson Company again turned to Datin who contracted it out to Production Model Shop of Burbank, California, with Datin supervising the construction while he did the detail work.

Paramount donated the model to the National Collection in 1974.

Manufacturer:
Richard C. Datin

Country of Origin:
United States of America

Dimensions:
Overall: 2ft 8in. x 11ft x 5ft, 200lb. (81.28 x 335.28 x 152.4cm, 90.7kg)
Other (engines): 6ft 1/4in. (183.52cm)
Other (central pod): 4ft 5 5/16in. (135.38cm)

Materials:
Primarily constructed of poplar wood, vacu-formed plastic, rolled sheet metal tubes for both the engine pods from the back of the struts to the start of the nacelle caps, and plastic for the main sensor dish and detailing (light covers, etc.). The front and rear of the engine pods or nacelles are of wood. The nacelle grill plates brass. Rolled steel wires were also inserted through its original pipe support for lights.

Warner's Hotel, Christchurch, New Zealand
make a picture
Image by pandrcutts
This is the area immediately north of the Anglican Cathedral viewed from its tower some four years before the earthquakes which struck the city in September 2010 and February 2012. The photo is one of a number taken in the area over the years a selection from which is reproduced in the first comment below.

The main feature in the main photo is Warner's Hotel. It was the second building of that name to occupy the site, the first being an establishment that had been opened in 1863 as the Commercial and Dining Rooms. During the 1870s it was renamed Warner's after William Warner, its proprietor at the time. Warner died in 1896 and his hotel was extensively damaged by fire in 1900. A new building was quickly commissioned and opened late the following year. With alterations, it was to remain in place until early 2012 when, having suffered damage as a result of the earthquake of February 2011, it was demolished early in 2012. The history of the building is recounted in a Wikipedia article written by Schwede66 to whom my thanks go for the help he has given in the preparation both of this description and of the first comment below.

The first photo in the comment is from the Bartley Family History website. It's was taken a year or two after the hotel was built. On the left is the Lyttelton Times building and, in their website, the author wistfully speculates that the man in front of the horse on the left could perhaps his ancestor, John Bartley. But, whoever the man is, he's probably reading the long-since-defunct Lyttelton Times. In the corner between the Times building and Warners is a tram displaying an advert for Strange's, the first department store in Christchurch. The second shot is similar, but taken a few years later.

The third photo, taken in the early 1910s, includes the Anglican Cathedral. That had been built during the 1860s and 1870s to the design of the British architect, George Gilbert Scott. The photo also shows that, by then, Warner's had fourth storey. It had been added in the early 1910s but perversely, having only recently having commissioned the enlargement of the hotel, the proprietors sanctioned the demolishment of a significant part of it in 1917 to make way for a theatre called Liberty's. In its time the theatre doubled as a cinema and you can see it here in its original form and, lower down, in its modernized form and renamed The Savoy.

The Savoy itself was demolished in 1997 and the space remained empty for ten years. The fourth photo – the main shot taken in January 2007 – shows the hotel in that state. The history of the space is described in a note as are the names of the other features around. Unbeknown to us at the time, the façade of the Hotel as it was in the early 1910s was to be restored and a much taller adjunct to the hotel was to be built behind the restored facade. Maybe the idea had been inspired by the way the nearby Clarendon Tower had been constructed on the site of the site of the Clarendon Hotel. You can see where it was to be located in the fifth shot which I also took in January 2007. The Press Building is the one with the reddish façade on the right of that photo. Work began on the project a year after our all-too-brief stay in Christchurch in January 2007. You can see the early stages of the rebuilding taking place here. The work was completed by 4 September 2010 when Christchurch was hit by a moderate earthquake.

The new hotel – the Novotel – was complete when the sixth photo was taken. It, and the buildings around it, survived the September 2010 earthquake with minimal damage as can be seen from the sixth photo that was taken by Bob Hall just 11 days before a second and much stronger earthquake struck the City on 22 February 2011. In the foreground of that shot is the War Memorial that was built in 1937. How the buildings in the area were affected by the two earthquakes can be judged from the final photo.

The other historic building in view – behind the tree – is the Lyttelton Times Building. It was the last headquarters of the Lyttelton Times before its demise in 1935 as the then oldest newspaper in New Zealand. That building also has been demolished in the wake of the February 2011 earthquake.

We had fun with my dad's visit but he had to go back home; he misses his grandson which is a mini me, only worse. :P

I'm going back to work soon so I've been busy with paper work and calls. Fun time is over!

I have a very important interview next month which will be a big step for me... I just hope it goes forward not backwards.

I got sick big time but I did not have time to rest because I did not want to waste my dad's visit. I enjoyed every minute inspite the headaches and body pains.

I heard a good Flickr friend is sick too (get well Dee!)

We had a sudden death in the family which means I have to stay and help out in my uncle's video store for a couple of days while he heads for home. Good thing a new broadband internet was installed which means I can still catch up with your awesome photos while I stand inside the counter.

Anybody near Greenlawn, NY, feel free to visit me at Greenlawn Video in Broadway.

About the photo:

Shot by Tina in Planting Fields Arboretum while I teach her about exposure, histogram and exposure compensation. Since I did the post processing (BW conversion and duotones), she told me to post this in my photostream as well.

Enjoy your week folks, I'll catch up soon.

Not my image. I took this Bamboo Bee House by Ben Grader, and made some minor edits in CS2 using Topaz Adjust. Final edits were done in Picnik. I think this now makes a rather unusual background or texture.
