 Beauty and the Beast.


I was struck by this image, which shows the simple beauty and snapped together. Seeing dandelion much alive, both located in that place so destructive, just then I thought it was an act of courage.
Take a picture was not so easy, because you had to find a perfect angle, one which saw the light that represents courage and jungle.

MY WORLD

READING OF A PHOTOGRAPHER
Two Girls. Lange Donothea












The photograph made Donothea Lange.
Donothea was born May 25, 1895 San Francisco, California.
 He was an influential American documentary photojournalist, best known for his work the "Great Depression" for the office of Agricultural Safety Administration. Photographs humanists of Lange on the terrible consequences of the Great Depression made it one of the most prominent journalists of photojournalism world.

 This photograph was made in the 50s.
It is made in a California orphanage in the image you can see the two children in pajamas. Also coming from a different ethnic group. Although the image is black and white, you can obserbar skin color of the two children .The girl shows something very special that has freckles scattered this striking brown skin, something very normal, does honor to the picture.

In the picture I see a girl looking at Dorothea ...
The smile she has, proves that you do not feel sad, seems comfortable, although the younger child that she is sleeping peacefully on his shoulder. The image shows tranquility, a scenario quite warm, but also cold.
I have come to many conclusions with this image, but what I believe is that the two children are in an orphanage or the other conclusion is that they are imgrants, who just arrived in a new place.

Easter week

EASTER WEEK

Before I used to spend Easter with my grandparents, next to my small family ...... My grandmother was in charge of making muffins and my grandfather cook them, it was a team work. I instead was the typical girl who watched dwarfed everything they did, with the intention of someday doing the same thing. This holy week I spent at home, reading a book but very, very boring. I guess the time has come for me to grow up, to think about my future and all the bullshit that older people do. If I had to ask for a wish it would be .... to go back to the past, take advantage of everything ... and have the most fun. In Bolivia it is a tradition to bring food to the ceemnterio, to offer it to the dead, to those who are no longer in this world, according to my grandmother.  I think I was the only one in the family who did not do so much to snooze events, for fear that some dead would wake up and go for me.  This Easter has been awful.

Ruby Red Trilogy

Ruby Red Trilogy

Gwyneth Shepherd, a 16-year-old student, feels dizzy for the first time during lunch at her school in London. Not long after, she unintentionally jumps through time while leaving the house. At first, Gwen is doubtful about her jump in time, since her cousin Charlotte Montrose has always been destined to have inherited the time travel gene that is passed down through the females in their family. Charlotte had been prepared for that duty her whole life, and resents Gwyneth for messing up her life plans. Gwen experiences two more uncontrolled jumps through time, during the third of which she witnesses herself, or a doppelgänger of hers, kissing a boy she has never met at a ball in the 1700s. After her third jump, Gwen’s best friend Lesley convinces her to tell her mother, who had apparently counterfeited Gwen’s birth documents to protect her from the Guardians. The Lodge is skeptical of the circumstances, but decide to watch Gwen to confirm that she has in fact inherited the time travel gene. Gwen travels through time once more and is finally acknowledged as the final time traveler, the twelfth, whose symbolic gem is the Ruby. Gwen’s blood is fed to the chronograph, the time travel machine that contains secrets of its own, so that she can use it travel through time smoothly and avoid uncontrolled jumps. The chronograph is also the second one made, the first one having been stolen by Lucy, the daughter of Gwyneth's Uncle Harry, and Paul, Falk de Villiers younger brother. Gwyneth is assigned the arrogant and disapproving Gideon de Villiers to watch her. Soon after this, Gwyneth is scheduled to meet the founder of the lodge, the powerful Count Saint-Germain. For reasons unexplained to Gwen, her mother is strictly against the meeting. Despite this, Gwen travels to meet the Count, hoping she might find some answers. However, Gwen is only left with more questions, and is also suspicious of the Count, who is believed to possess telepathy. After the meeting, the stagecoach of their carriage is instructed by someone unknown to take the two to a park, where they are promptly attacked by three men. Gideon and Gwen ward them off, then travel back to their present time. The next day, Gwen is called back to the lodge, where she is surprised to find that she is needed in order to talk to someone in the past, her great-great grandmother, and the eighth time traveler, Margaret Tilney, in order for her blood to be read in the chronograph, since Gideon had made two attempts to gather Margaret's blood, but both times, she had refused. The two travel back in time where Margaret is expecting them, despite the exact date that was set in the chronograph to travel back in time being kept secret. Lucy and Paul make their appearance, urging Gwyneth to trust them, and to make sure that all twelve time traveler's blood not be read into the chronograph, for fear that the big event that will happen that may cause more destruction than good. Gideon threatens Lucy with a shotgun, and makes her escort him and Gwyneth out the house, and as the two are running away, she tells Gwen to look up The Green Rider. The two make their escape to a nearby church, inside a confessional booth, where Gideon, unexpectedly, kisses Gwen.

 

Manchester designers have invented the world’s most affordable solar light aimed at the world’s poorest.

 This affordable light has been created to meet the needs of families living without mains electricity in Africa.

At just $5, the SM100 solar light is the most affordable in the world helping millions of people in developing countries live in a brighter future.
And it’s been developed by two Manchester designers.
Henry James and Bryn Morgan are the co-founders of inventid, a city centre-based strategic design consultancy, and the brains behind the SM100.
This affordable light has been created to meet the needs of families living without mains electricity in Africa.
It can provide more than eight hours of bright light per day, and can be used on a stand or hung from the wall when in use.

At just $5, the SM100 solar light is the most affordable in the world helping millions of people in developing countries live in a brighter future.
And it’s been developed by two Manchester designers.
Henry James and Bryn Morgan are the co-founders of inventid, a city centre-based strategic design consultancy, and the brains behind the SM100.
This affordable light has been created to meet the needs of families living without mains electricity in Africa.
It can provide more than eight hours of bright light per day, and can be used on a stand or hung from the wall when in use.


Yingli manufactures the SM100, with distribution managed by SolarAid’s SunnyMoney sales teams across Africa, where the charity has been working for more than a decade to improve lives with a range of solar-powered products.
James said: “Children’s education opportunities are improved by enabling extra study time after dark in an environment free from harmful fumes and risk of fire.
“For their parents, working opportunities increase after sunset and the family’s income currently spent on kerosene can be saved for more important things.
“Learning and earning after sunset can put families on the road to a better quality of life and help put a cycle of poverty behind.
“The poorest communities have been overlooked, until now, by solar products that either cost too much or are flimsy and ill-considered for the terrain in which they are used.


“In turn, this has harmed the reputation of solar.
The SM100 focuses on essential functionality, stripping out unnecessary features in favour of a simple, robust and weatherproof design.
“This way, the SM100 builds confidence at the entry level of the renewables market and gives people more control over where their money goes.”
He continues: “The SM100 connects the high-volume, global manufacturing expertise of Yingli and the rich experience of SolarAid, who have a decade of experience selling over one million lights in Africa.
“Extensive field research in four African countries helped us explore wide ranging macro and micro factors that impacted both cost and user experience.
“Our research team looked at container and pallet optimisation in a bid to reduce last mile transport costs and pass savings onto customers. And our designers explored unique human needs that would underpin a strong customer value proposition in a busy market.
“The resulting form is impressively compact and features strap holes that convert it quickly into headtorch mode - a world-first for the solar light category.”
Nine thousand trial units were initially distributed by SunnyMoney to people in three African countries – Malawi, Zambia and Uganda - as part of a large sales trial in autumn 2016.

Since then production has been ramped up after some further fine tuning of component selection by Yingli for the SM100.
Morgan adds: “Conducting research for the SM100 light in conjunction with Yingli Europe and SolarAid meant that we were able to design a product that is both viable and makes sense to people.
“We are incredibly proud that our light has the potential to provide millions of people with a brighter future.
“This level of understanding underpins all of the work that inventid does and enables our team to design products that bring positive change for their end users.”

The SM100 retails for £10 in the UK, providing SolarAid with additional funds to help distribute more SM100 solar lights in Africa.
The SM100 is being used as an exemplar product for the new £83m Design Museum’s Design Ventura education programme.
In March, the SM100 light won silver in the 2017 Design for Society and Design for Sustainability categories at the European Product Design Awards.

Britain's Got Talent final and British Soap Awards moved to make way for Ariana Grande Manchester benefit concert.

 The two big TV events have been moved to avoid clash with the star-studded concert at Emirates Old Trafford on Sunday.

 

Thet Britain’s Got Talen final has been moved from Sunday night so as not to distract from the Ariana Grande benefit concert on Sunday.
The final will now be screened live on Saturday June 3 at 7.30pm.
To make way for the rescheduled BGT final, the British Soap Awards - which are taking place in Salford Quays that night - has moved from Saturday night and will now air on Tuesday June 6th at 8pm.
An ITV spokesperson said: “Ariana Grande’s ‘One Love Manchester’ benefit concert is bringing artists and the public together, and will raise funds for the Red Cross Manchester Emergency Fund.
 “ITV and Britain’s Got Talent have no desire to distract from this important cause, so we have taken the decision to move the Britain’s Got Talent Final from Sunday night.”

Ariana will return to the city following the terror attack at her Manchester Arena concert to perform a star-studded benefit at the Emirates Old Trafford.
The concert, also featuring superstars including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Coldplay, will be screened on BBC One from 6pm to 9pm.
The British Soap Awards 2017, held at Salford’s Lowry Theatre, was due to be screened live for the first time ever in the awards’ 18-year history.
In previous years the event has taken place on a Saturday night, but not screened on ITV until several days later.

Categories include Best Actress and Actor, Best Villain and the coveted Best Soap gong.
Organisers of the event try to ensure, for balance, that the awards are hosted in Manchester and London in rotation every year.
The last time it was held in Manchester, in May 2015, the awards ceremony was at The Palace Theatre.

The history of St Ann's Square, the place that's become a focal point for Manchester

The history of St Ann's Square, the place that's become a focal point for Manchester.

The historic church square has become a shrine to the 22 people whose lives were taken in the Manchester Arena atrocity - and it is very fitting.

It is an incredibly moving sight.

Thousands upon thousands of bunches of flowers, cards, placards, balloons, candles, football shirts, teddy bears and other tributes to the 22 people, including seven children, killed in last week’s atrocity.

The country has surely not seen anything like it since the gates of Buckingham Palace became a sea of flowers after the death of Princess Diana in 1997.

St Ann’s Square has become the focal point for the city’s grief.

Since last Tuesday morning, people have been coming and coming, often moved to tears or standing in silent reflection as they take in the enormity of what occurred at the Manchester Arena at 10.31pm last Monday night.

It is also where the news crews from every corner of the globe have based themselves to send out their broadcasts, making it a symbol both of the city’s remembrance but also of its defiance.

And it is fitting that this place was chosen, because it is steeped in history.

From farmer's field to Cotton Exchange to shopping mecca

The earliest records of the area, originally known as Acresfield, date back to the 13th Century when Manchester was just a small, rural town which held a cattle, sheep and pig market serving the farming communities of Lancashire and Cheshire.

That ran for 650 years before it was moved in 1820, first to Shudehill and then to Campfield, Deansgate, where it remained until it was abolished in 1876.

The field, surrounded by hedges and ditches, was common land over which villagers used for grazing, except on the days of the fair. It was when Manchester began to grow into a town in the 17th Century, that development began.

Permission to build St Ann’s Church was granted in 1708, named after the wife of the lord of the manor, and the square around it took on its name.

The church is one of only 15 Grade I listed buildings in the city.

During the 1745 Rebellion, Bonnie Prince Charlie reviewed his troops in the Square. It was also home to the city’s cotton exchange for more than two centuries. The first exchange opened in 1729, the second building being erected slightly further south, on the site of the present one, in 1809.

The third and current Royal Exchange building was constructed in 1874, boasting the largest trading floor in the country.

And the square, which in recent years has been home to a wide range of shops, is used to facing disaster.

The Royal Exchange building was badly damaged in World War II and had to be repaired in the years after.

The entire square was badly damaged itself after the IRA bomb, which exploded on nearby Corporation Street in June 1996.

However it was fully repaired and re-opened just two years later.

In the hours after Monday’s disaster at the Manchester Arena, tributes began to be laid in several locations, including Albert Square.

However with the area in front of the town hall needed for the vigil that took place, flowers began to be laid in St Ann’s Square.

They began to accumulate around the statue at the King Street end of the square, of former Stockport MP Richard Cobden.

Richard Cobden was a businessman turned MP who became one of the country’s leading reform campaigners.

Cobden, a former MP for Stockport, was known for being one of the founders of the Anti-Corn Law League along with John Bright, whose statue stands in Albert Square.

The abolition of the Corn Laws, which forced people to pay a higher price for bread, in 1846 saw Cobden hailed as a local hero and the statue was raised after his death in 1865.

Shining Questions

1 Why exactly is this film and the book it was based upon called "The Shining".

2 What exactly happened to Jack ,why is he in that picture at the end of the movie.

3 Who hurt Danny after his visit to room 237.

4 After saying that he would sell his soul for just one beer, Jack looks up and greets the barman Lloyd. Since this was Jack's first time at the hotel, how could he have known the barman's name.

5 why or what is actually possessing the Overlook Hotel,also, why do the said possessors want to drive Jack Torrance insane.

6 Why is the significance of the man in the Chipmunk costume with the man in tuxedo seen by Wendy in the bedroom , are they supposed to be doing.

7 "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is supposed to be scary, but I don't understand. Why is it scary and what does it mean.

8 Who is Tony.

9 We see Jack in the picture at the end of the film which was painted in 1921 which I guess means that Nicholson was either possessed or reincarnated...but does anyone have a definite answer, or does Kubrick just want us to decide for ourselves.

10 Why is the old woman in room 237 and what is her significance.

11 Does Danny's ability to "shine" have any connection to Jack's insanity and the events that occur in the hotel.

12 If Jack is a reincarnation, how does he not know Danny possesses the shining,the other ghosts, such as Delbert Grady, who have always been there, can see Danny's talent. If Jack has always been there, how come he can't see what Grady sees.

My favorite photo

This photo transmits a lot of sadness, but at the same time happiness and longing.

Seeing this photograph come to my mind a lot of memories of my childhood.

The image shows the poverty and culture that the Bolivian people have. If I had to describe it, I would start with the girl, the smile she keeps and the feelings she conveys.

The girl wears the typical dress of Bolivia,

Not only expresses happiness, but also feel the duty to help and give a hand.

The traditional clothes that are still with their origins and still follow their beliefs, which is a country which continue to have and maintain their beautiful cultures.

In Bolivia before and even at this time, children or babies are still filled.

This photo is made by Luís Miranda Martínez, a photographer who was very successful in 2012, also won a prize for best citizen photography.
