About Kalliope Amorphous
Rather than approaching self-portraiture from an autobiographical perspective, I push the boundaries of what I define as "self" and "other" by playing with ideas of identity, gender, archetype, emotion and the visual interpretations and possibilities that exist within them. I do not consider myself a photographer, but rather an artist and storyteller using the camera as a tool to create.
I can more deeply explore my conceptual ideas by embracing the roles of both photographer and subject. I am continually drawn to concepts involving the subconscious, alienation, time, memory, transcendence and surrealism. Other sides of my work explore my love of paradox and the juxtaposition of light and dark, beauty and beast.
Most of my photographs use experimental in-camera methods, mirror distortions, modified lenses and handmade attachments such as the stroboscope. I enjoy creating unique ways to express the intangible realms of emotions, thoughts, poetry, dreams and nightmares.

Ljubljanica river and three bridges in Ljubljana
The Ljubljanica river, which is also called The River of Seven Names, is the lower reaches of a karst river which on its way towards Ljubljana disappears underground a number of times and springs again at different places, every time under a different name. Spring in near Vrhnika. Ten kilometres to the north-east of Ljubljana city centre it empties itself into the Sava river. Until the railway became a commonly used means of transportation in the middle of the 19. century, it was the main route for carrying goods to and from Ljubljana. The main quay was located at the present Breg embankment.
Ljubljana is a city of many beautiful and interesting bridges. It is believed that the first bridge across the Ljubljanica river was built back in Roman times, most probably somewhere between the present Cobblers' Bridge (Čevljarski most) and Šentjakob Bridge (Šentjakobski most). The medieval Ljubljana boasted two wooden bridges, an old bridge located at the site of the present Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) and the Butchers' Bridge (Mesarski most), which was located at the site of the present Cobblers' Bridge. At the end of the 18th century, when the city walls were pulled down, the danger of floods was reduced with the building of the Gruber Canal (Grubarjev prekop) in 1783, and the city expanded to the left bank of the Ljubljanica river, a number of new wooden bridges were built and later replaced by metal, stone or concrete ones.
The Ljubljanica river often flooded until the course of the river was thoroughly improved in the first half of the 20. century. The riverbed tried to be regulated already in 16. century and before, but with no success. Bigger works started already in middle 19. century. In 1912 they deepened the river bed. Later they deepened Gruber channel as well. But this was still not the solution to the problem. Today's tamed Ljubljanica river and its attractive concrete embankments owe much of their appearance to architect Jože Plečnik. He redesigned the embankments with tree-lined walks including the romantic multi-level willow-lined walk running along the length of the Trnovski pristan embankment, and designed or redesigned a range of bridges on the Ljubljanica river and its tributaries, including the Trnovo Bridge (Trnovski most), the Cobblers' Bridge and the centrally located Triple Bridge, which considerably contribute to the city's unique character.
The row of houses on right bank of the river still has balconies, that over 100 years ago had all houses on the bank. They were made from wood and were big threat for the fire in the town. On this side were also toilets, all dirt they throw on the bank, so because of that the bad smell spreaded all around. Citizens started to complain (because of fire danger and smell), but no success. All they achieve was, that inhabitants of those houses had to arrange the toilets in the house. The dirt has to be leaded directly into the river. Today those balconies are not wooden any more.
The oldest bridge in Ljubljana was on a place of today's Cobbler's bridge. It was called Upper bridge (Zgornji most), Butcher's bridge (Mesarski most), because the butchers have their shops on or Šuštar bridge (Šuštarski most). It was also named Upper bridge, while Špital bridge was Lower bridge. Špital bridge was usually used by traders and foreign cargo carriers, while locals used Butcher's bridge. The site of the present Cobblers' Bridge (Čevljarski most), which was built by architect Jože Plečnik between 1931 and 1932, was formerly occupied by a covered wooden bridge, which connected the two main parts of medieval Ljubljana, namely the Mestni trg square (Town Square) and the Novi trg square (New Square). The bridge provided space for cobblers' workshops, after whom it was named. Its main attraction was the statue of Christ at its south end, which now stands in the Church of St. Florian (Cerkev sv. Floriana). The 19. century saw the building of a new, cast iron bridge, which was on the initiative of architect Plečnik moved to the site opposite the Ljubljana Maternity Hospital to connect the Zaloška cesta and the Poljanska cesta roads.
The present Cobblers' Bridge (built in 1931 – 1932) was, like architect Plečnik's Trnovo Bridge (Trnovski most), conceived as a broad balustraded platform connecting two different parts of the city. Like the Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) it was made of artificial stone. Its characteristic appearance is due to its balustrades with short balusters and tall, different sized pillars topped with stone balls. The central two pillars support lamps and are slightly shorter, which gives the bridge an original and dynamic appearance. The bridge platform is on the sides decorated with a geometric pattern. The balustrades were renovated in 1991.
The present Dragon Bridge (Zmajski most) across the Ljubljanica river was built to replace the former wooden bridge called the Butchers' Bridge (Mesarski most), which was built in 1819. For reasons of economy, the Municipality of Ljubljana, who financed the building of the bridge, decided on a reinforced concrete construction, which was less expensive and more modern than stone constructions.
Built in the years 1900 to 1901 under the name of Jubilee Bridge (Jubilejni most), Dragon Bridge was Slovenia's first bridge with an asphalt paving. It is one of Ljubljana's most representative examples of Art Nouveau architecture, the city's first reinforced concrete bridge, and one of the first bridges of the kind in Europe. It was constructed by Professor Josef Melan, a famous engineer specializing in reinforced concrete bridge engineering and the father of the theory for large arched bridges statics calculations.
The Art Nouveau appearance of the bridge is due to the Dalmatian architect Jurij Zaninović, who studied under Professor Otto Wagner. He designed the decorative concrete covering, the balustrades and the sheet-copper dragon statues, which became the symbol of Ljubljana. The original designs envisaged winged lions instead of dragons. The bridge lamps, which used to be fuelled by gas, are part of the original decoration.
It was built to remembrance to Austro-Hungarian emperor Franc Josef what it can be seen from year on the bridge 1848 – 1888.
Špital bridge (Lower bridge) was second built bridge in Ljubljana. In 1280 was mentioned for the first time as Old bridge. It was rebuilt many times. Later in middle ages were on the bridge butchers' stands, later, on one built in baroque time there were already wooden hovels (kolibe). In those hovels manufacturers were selling their products. With removing the old wooden bridge in 1842, all hovels were removed. Some manufacturers found the place for selling the products in Čopova street. New, stony bridge was named after archduke Franz Karl.
The central of the present three bridges forming the Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) has stood in its place since 1842, when it replaced an old, strategically important medieval wooden bridge, which used to be a transit route between the countries of the North-western Europe and the South-eastern Europe including the Balkans. The Triple Bridge as a unique architectural speciality of Ljubljana was created when between the years 1929 and 1932 two more bridges, intended for pedestrians, were added to the original stone bridge by architect Jože Plečnik.
Plečnik removed the metal balustrades from the old stone bridge and furnished all the three bridges with massive stone balustrades and lamps. From each of the side bridges two stairways lead to the terraces situated just above the river, where poplar trees were planted to contribute to the overall appearance of the bridge.
On the right bank of the river, the bridge is enhanced by a small flower shop sited at the end of the Ljubljana Central Market colonnade, and on the right bank by a kiosk. Positioned on the crossing of the river axis and the axis running between the Rožnik hill and the Castle Hill, the Triple Bridge is the key point on Plečnik's urban axes. In 1992, the Triple Bridge was thoroughly renovated.
Ljubljana castle
Ljubljana Castle (Ljubljanski grad) is the most spectacular sight of Ljubljana. It is standing on Castle hill (376 m) above old city of Ljubljana. Its position is very important, because it is closing the only flat passage from Pomurje thorough Ljubljana gate, over Karst highlands to the Adriatic see and from Alps to Posavje and further on to Podonavje.
There is proven evidence that the hill on top of which it is situated was inhabited back in the 12th century BC Preserved from this early period of settlement are the remains of the Urn Tomb culture.
The first known fortification of considerable dimensions situated on top of the Castle Hill (Grad) was built in Illyrian and Celtic times. A stronghold was most probably located there also in Roman times. A document originating from the period between 1112 and 1125 mentions a medieval castle built in the 9th century, which later served as the seat of the provincial rulers of the Spannheim family, who coined their own money in Ljubljana. In 1335 the castle became the hereditary property of the Hapsburg family and the centre of the Province of Carniola. In the second half of the 15th century a new, larger, circular castle was built by Duke Frederick III of Hapsburg, later crowned Roman German Emperor.
The castle is typical late medieval fortress. It has incorrect ground plan, big inner yard, entrance and side towers (all together 6). Fortress is adjusted to the state of arms, used in those times (times of Frederick III). It has been built over few decades. First part was system of wall around flattened yard, with half round towered contacts. Today's shape of the castle is from the times of Frederick III (second half of 15th century) and also some from 16thcentury. The earthquake in 1511 did not damage the castle, as it did big part of Carniola.
Except for the outer walls of the Chapel of St. George (Kapela sv. Jurija), which was consecrated in 1489, all the other main buildings of the present castle were either built or rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries. Until 1814 the castle served as a garrison and later a provincial prison. Built in 1848 was the Outlook Tower (Razgledni stolp), the home of the guard whose duty was to shoot cannons to warn against fire and announce important visitors and events taking place in Ljubljana – a duty previously performed by town servants at the Pipers' Tower (Stolp piskačev). Pipers are first mentioned in first half of 16th century. They were playing (they were playing 3 trombones and 1 cornet) for some special occasions, regularly during the summer every day at 11 o'clock. One special occasion was also in June 1561, when Primož Trubar came back to work in protestant church. At the same time the pipers were watchmen , who took care for fire safety of the city.
Material used for building was stone and brick. In the lower layers is limestone from Podpeč, before used in roman Emona, in upper layers is slate (skrilavec) from Golovec and Castle hill.
In 1905 the castle was purchased by the Municipality of Ljubljana in order to be used for cultural purposes, but until 1964 it mainly served as a residential building. Afterwards it underwent a renovation, which has still been going on. Since 2000, the castle has been administered by the Festival Ljubljana festival management company.
Ljubljana Castle is a major tourist attraction and a picturesque venue of numerous cultural events including concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions, congresses and official receptions, which add a special flavour to the lively pulse of life in Ljubljana.
The present castle entrance came into use in the 18th and 19th centuries, when the castle served as a prison. It replaced the former entrance located beneath the Archers' Tower (Stolp strelcev).
In the 15th century and the centuries to follow the entrance was located in the Pentagonal Tower (Peterokotni stolp), which was built for defence purposes and is now used as an exhibition venue. The White and Blue Halls (Bela dvorana, Modra dvorana), which have presently been used for weddings, were added to the building in the 1980s. The Erasmus' Tower (Erazmov stolp) was built in the 15th century and is believed to have been used as a prison for noblemen. One of the coats of arms, which the prisoners carved into the tower walls, is believed to have belonged to the legendary outcast knight Erasmus of Predjama. The Hribar Hall (Hribarjeva dvorana), the largest hall in the castle, was named after Ivan Hribar, a famous mayor of Ljubljana, who purchased the castle for municipal purposes.
The Chapel of St. George (Kapela sv. Jurija) is one of the oldest preserved places in the castle. Built in the Gothic and rebuilt in the Baroque style, it is ornamented with fragments of decorative 15th century wall paintings as well as frescoes representing the coats of arms of provincial governors and five Austrian rulers, which date from 1747.
The castle's Outlook Tower (Razgledni stolp) stands in the place of the former Pipers' Tower, which was pulled down in 1813, during the French occupation. Afterwards a signal tower, the home of the castle guard, was built in its place. Offering the most beautiful view of Ljubljana and its surroundings, the Outlook Tower, which was in 1982 raised by 1.2 metres, now only serves as a tourist attraction.
The Platium (Palacij) is the name of a renovated castle hall named after the former castle building used for receptions and feasts given by provincial governors. Next to the Palatium is the State Hall (Stanovska dvorana), which was most probably used for similar purposes. Located in the basement underneath the courtyard are a number of halls used as occasional exhibition venues. In the past, ramparts were connecting the Archers' Tower (Stolp strelcev) and the former fortress at the nearby Šance. The preserved part of the Šance ramparts were in the 1930s converted into an arched walk designed by architect Jože Plečnik. The course of the missing in-between part of the ramparts was marked by a tree-lined walk.

What do a wild karaoke night, a calypso wedding held outside in Boston, and giving out samples of New Diet Pepsi Max all have to do with each other? Nothing really, except they were all part of my insane weekend. I'm tired. Very tired. Couldn't go to work, woke up at 2pm, because I crashed tired. Who knew such a busy weekend would result in my body getting sick of me? I sure didn't. My stupid body couldn't keep up with my mind. I was going strong until last night, when my eyes literally started to close on their own. I don't remember the last time I got that sleepy. It actually got me excited. I suffer from bad insomnia in the summers. It's the heat I think.
But anyway, so yea. I went to a friend's house and we did insane karaoke all night Friday. I had a ridiculously good time. We stayed til late. They ate a bunch of crap, which tested my diet skills to the max. I PASSED! I had a grilled chicken salad with balsamic vinagrette. So I'm very proud of myself. 😀 Hubby sang "Like a Virgin" by Madonna, and forever scarred the group. I swear, most people think he's so quiet, but I know. The man is insane.

A former Montana court employee has dropped her lawsuit over a confidential settlement agreement she signed but later wished to break.
The state has agreed to let Britt Long disseminate a copy of the agreement she entered into with a judge she sued in 2011, after alleging the judge slapped her butt with a folder.
But the state can't act either way on Long's desire to publish criticisms of the judge — an act barred by the 2013 agreement. That agreement was signed only by Long, her attorney and the former judge.
Bozeman attorney Matthew Monforton filed the lawsuit on Long's behalf in U.S. District Court in August, naming Gov. Steve Bullock and Attorney General Tim Fox.
An attorney for Bullock and Fox asked Monforton to drop the suit the week after he filed, saying the only relief the state could grant was to let a copy of the $12,000 settlement agreement be released.
Monforton cast the developments as a win, saying in an email, "Bullock (and) Fox threw in the towel and won't try to defend the gag rule they imposed on Britt Long."
But a spokeswoman for Bullock had earlier noted both he and Fox were not even sworn into office yet when Long signed her agreement.
You have free articles remaining.
"We've said from the beginning that this case has nothing to do with Gov. Bullock," wrote the governor's communications director, Marissa Perry. "This voluntary dismissal confirms that."
John Barnes, communications director for Fox, wrote: "I am glad to see that Mr. Monforton realized he sued the wrong people and dropped his suit before wasting even more taxpayer dollars. For the sake of his clients, I hope he does his homework before filing anything in the future."
Long worked as a court clerk and standing master in the 10th Judicial District in central Montana until 2011. She sued and later entered into a confidential settlement for $12,000 with Judge E. Wayne Phillips, according to a copy of the agreement provided by Monforton.
Long, now a New Jersey resident, wishes to disclose complaints about Phillips relayed to her from two other women. Long said she is pursuing a book and scholarly articles on state-level judicial ethics.
Still unanswered is whether the former judge will agree to release Long from the non-disparagement portion of the agreement. Monforton said his next step is to sue Phillips over that matter. Reached Tuesday, Phillips said he was "not inclined" to waive the non-disparagement clause, adding, "Because, you know, how do you get to the truth?"
Long ran unsuccessfully for Phillips' open seat in 2012, after Phillips announced plans to retire. In the run-up to the election, she was rebuked by Lewis and Clark County District Judge Kathy Seeley for her performance in another case and ordered to pay more than $15,000 in attorney fees. That judge characterized Long's work by "neglect," "paranoia" and "erratic" behavior, and questioned Long's judicial qualifications.

1961 - November 05
|Handed over the manuscript of Shi Caitanya Mahaprabhu for printing in a three forms book on the occasion of Sri Srimat Sakhi Charan Das Babaji Maharaja's first disappearance ceremony.
1966 - November 05
|There is no botheration for securing a piece of leaf, a piece of flower or a little water or a piece of fruit. Any poor man, any rich man, can secure. And the Lord says, patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati: BG 9.26 "Anyone who offers Me these four things with devotion, with love, I accept them. I accept them." Why? Now, tad ahaṁ bhaktyā upahṛtam aśnāmi. "Because that is secured with sincere love for Me." The Lord accepts our love.
1967 - November 05
|I have already written to Hayagriva that the instructions which I impart are not dogmas. Our instructions are all based on sufficient logic and philosophy. The thing is that while conducting missionary activities it is quite natural that sometimes the situation may become very provocative, but we have to deal in these matters very carefully. The boy who spat upon the person of Kīrtanānanda must send a letter of regret and apology. That will be nice.
|I have already given you a list of good behavior for the devotees. The person who is a devotee must develop those good qualities. Kirtanananda's attempt to defy me might have provoked all these undesirable incidences, but in the future we shall be very much careful to deal in such provocative situations; I can understand the provocation in this situation was set in motion by Kirtanananda's uncalled for behavior.
1968 - November 05
|As we have got our experience here in this world that houses are made of bricks, there, in the transcendental world, the houses are made of this cintamani stone, touchstone.There are also trees, but those trees are not like this tree. The trees are kalpa-vrksa. Here you can take one kind of fruit from one tree, but there, from the trees you can ask anything, and you get it because those trees are all spiritual.
1969 - November 05
- Letter to Manager of The Bank of Baroda written from London
- Letter to Satsvarupa written from London
|Regarding BTG printing, I have already written to Brahmananda that this must be printed in our own press. So far as my books are concerned, I think there are materials for at least ten books which are ready for printing.
|I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated October 29, 1969 from Philadelphia along with your check for $642, and I thank you very much for your kind contribution. I am surprised to know that the actual collection was $1,750 and the doctors and lawyers, etc. have taken more than $1,000. Anyway, something is better than nothing. Whatever we have got will be used for Krishna's service.
1970 - November 05
|Your description of past incidents may be forgotten. We are not concerned with past misunderstandings; we are concerned only with progressive service to Krsna.
|Last time where I stayed in the skyscraper hotel was extremely pleasing to me, therefore I was induced to stay there for some time. I think that was my sense gratification, therefore Krsna liked me to come here and do some work. We shall always be satisfied with the routine work entrusted to us by Krsna.
1972 - November 05
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
|"Bhejire munayaḥ athāgre bhagavantam adhokṣajam (SB 1.2.25). There are some theories—that is not fact—that ultimately the Absolute Truth is impersonal. But here we find that agre, in the beginning, after creation, all the sages... First of all, there was Brahmā. And then he created so many saintly persons, marīcyādi, great sages. And they also engaged themself in worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Not impersonal; from the very beginning. Bhejire munayaḥ atha agre. From the very beginning. Bhagavantam adhokṣajam. Adhokṣajam we have described many times: 'beyond our sense perception'. The Absolute Truth is a person, it is very difficult to understand."
|721105 - Lecture SB 01.02.25 - Vrndavana
|The Absolute Truth is realized in three phases: impersonal Brahman, localized Paramatma, and the Supreme Person, Bhagavan. So the ultimate realization is Bhagavan, not the impersonal Brahman. That is not ultimate realization. That is partial realization. Even Paramatma realization, that is also partial. The complete realization is Bhagavan.
|Acārya's duty is to point out the śāstric injunction. They're already there in the Vedas. His duty is... Just like there are so many medicines. If you go to a drug shop, all of them are medicines, but the experienced physician, he gives you a medicine which is particularly suitable for you. You cannot say, "Sir, why you are selecting medicine? You can give any one bottle." That is nonsense. Not any one. The particular body, a particular bottle, and a particular medicine which is suitable for you, the experienced physician gives you. He's ācārya.
|So if we accept the version of Arjuna, that Kṛṣṇa is Paraṁ Brahman, He's the Supreme Person, He's the origin of everything, then our knowledge is perfect. I may be imperfect, but because I receive knowledge from a perfect person, my knowledge is perfect. This is called paramparā system.
|Puṇya-karma means the sublime puṇya-karma is devotional service. Śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam (SB 7.5.23). This is the topmost puṇya-karma. Because, as it is stated in the Bhāgavata, śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ (SB 1.2.17). Simply if we hear about Kṛṣṇa, that is puṇya.
|Never mind it takes little time to make progress, our process is slow but sure, and we are confident that if we continue in this way we shall go one day back to home, back to Godhead.
|My idea is that the leaders must agree to stick at one place, even they may have to remain their life-long, that is the ideal leader, one who is conscious of his duty. But you are sannyasi, and sannyasis duty is different: travel widely and preach. That is sannyasa.
|This constantly changing managers is not good. We shall develop more progressively by sticking in one place and working, not that one week we have three presidents, that is not good. Our managers should be very responsible for developing their centre to the topmost standard, why this restlessness? It is just like one man is holding government post by getting votes, so today or tomorrow or next day, but he will have to go out, then another man comes, then another, another—in this way, democratic system, no one becomes responsible for the welfare of the citizens.
|The programme is going on very nicely, and all the devotees are enlivened by our discourses daily in morning and evening in the Samadhi courtyard at Radha-Damodar temple.
|Now after Urja you will go to Puri for again trying for that place, but now there is competition, so how we can stop it? But if you offer them the right price, and if we try to get it very seriously we shall be able to do it, by Krishna's grace. So if you need any help from me in this connection, I am here in India, so I am at your service to do the needful and secure Srila Prabhupad's birth-site.
|My Guru Maharaja gave me a task and always I was discouraged by my god-brothers, but I did not forget him even for a moment, and I was determined to follow my duty, even though sometimes I did not like to do it. But this always changing means no sense. If he is leader, he must be fixed-up. Otherwise, if he has no real interest, why he takes that post? He must be responsible. He must stick and develop the highest standard of Krishna Consciousness practice in that area of management.
|We should kill this restless spirit. Enthusiasm and patience, these things required. If under changing conditions, I lose my enthusiasm, if I cannot endure the difficulties of my duty, therefore I go away—then how I can be leader? These things must be understood. Otherwise the whole thing will fall.
|That school is very, very important business, and the best man must be found out for taking charge there and developing it nicely, and if he sticks and works hard to build it up, that will please me very much.
|I have never been in favor of this practice of many times changing the responsible officers, three times in one week changing presidents, this will ruin the whole thing. From now on if someone takes the leading post, he must agree to stick and not go away just because it is difficult from time to time. That is ideal leader. He is responsible and he knows his duty.
|Sannyasi simply means to do as I am doing, and sometimes I have to manage, sometimes cook, sometimes go to the bank, keep the money, write books, chant, preach in the class, keep accounts - sannyasi should be expert in every department.
|Real attitude of devotional service is, whether I am here or there, whether I am doing this or that, it doesn't matter, just give me little prasada, little service, or if you make me big leader, that's all right—that is devotee, satisfied to serve Krishna in any circumstances of life.
|Our standard is to have kirtana, start temples. What is this "Road Show" and "Yoga Village?" It will be another hippie edition. Gradually the Krishna Consciousness idea will evaporate: another change, another change, every day another change. Stop all this. Simply have kirtana, nothing else. Don't manufacture ideas.
1973 - November 05
|They will have to come to this point gradually. They're disappointed. Life is not very pleasing. Politics life is not… Even Gandhi, such an exalted man, on the day he was killed, he was the same.
|They think, "I have conquered. I have got three crores of rupees." Speculating on (indistinct) and share, that's all. Then parabhavah: his three crores of rupees remain with his bank, and he goes with his wife, and he accepts another body. And he is rascal number one. Abodha.
1974 - November 05
|That professor, who has said, that "This Bhaktivedanta's book is not dry speculation. Order all the books made by him." So our, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not dry speculation. There are varieties, but they are spiritual varieties. People misunderstand that these varieties are material things. They want nirviśeṣa, nirākāra, void. But our philosophy is not voidness. It is full of varieties and full of transcendental bliss.
|I am glad to see that you are advancing in Krishna consciousness by this worship of the Deity. This is the practical application to what we find stated in the Bhagavad-gita, man manah bhava mad bhakto, mad yaji mam namaskuru. We do not speculate on what Krishna says but we follow whatever He says implicitly. I also follow this process.
|Every morning I go to the temple and see the Deity and offer obeisances, so I expect each and every one of my disciples should also follow what I have given in this connection, arising early, taking bath, attending mangal arati. yuktasya bhaktams ca niyunjato 'pi. The Deity is non-different from Krishna Himself. This we have to understand.
1976 - November 05
|Brain cannot walk; the leg will walk. So the brain will give direction, the hand will give protection. Everything is required. Therefore we have named this "Kṛṣṇa conscious society." "Society" means all classes of men required. But we train them how to make life perfect. That is wanted, not that one-sided, simply brāhmaṇa. That variety. This is called variety, not nirviśeṣa-vada, classless: "No brāhmaṇa required, no śūdra required." No, everything is required. Everything is required, but they should be properly trained up.
|Recess means nothing to do. That is brain, I mean to say, rest. All continually you cannot do that. That is not good. Utmost, forty minutes or forty-five minutes. Then give them ten minutes' freedom. Then begin another. Not more than forty to forty-five minutes at a time, reading, writing.
1977 - November 05
|Prabhupāda: Because I cannot sit down.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: You can't sit up. You mean after being sat up you can't stay sitting up? You were never able to sit yourself up. That you were not doing since many months ago. When you say you're not able to sit down, you mean you cannot keep sitting in a sitting position? 'Cause that you were able to do. I've seen you in the last day or two, sitting up. I think it might be—I don't know—but it may be more psychological, from laying in bed all the time. Naturally there is a feeling perhaps that one is... Weakness also means one's willpower becomes more weaker. Is that possible that that may be it?
Prabhupāda: What it is, Kṛṣṇa knows.
|Prabhupāda:Wherever you kept, keep, I shall remain. The institution depends on the GBC.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. I think that the time that you always were looking forward to—of the GBC managing things—has come, and that if you can survive, then you can simply be free to translate...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
|Prabhupāda: And he is not experienced.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, I don't know... He's not as... The point is, for such a thing that you have now, passing stool, I don't think that requires a highly learned kavirāja. That's a common ailment, that someone passes stool too easily. That's not a very difficult ailment to take care of.
Prabhupāda: So consult him.
|Prabhupāda: And you should pay for that.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No problem.
Prabhupāda: Appreciate.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. Appreciate. There's no problem for that, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
|Prabhupāda: The Trust deed somebody may read.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes. I can bring it just now.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: I can read it to you personally.
Prabhupāda: All right.
|Prabhupāda: You read some more.
Jayādvaita: Yes, with great pleasure. Teachings of Lord Kapiladeva.
Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa.
Jayādvaita: Kṛṣṇa book. All right. Any particular part that you'd like to hear, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Anywhere. From second part.
Jayādvaita: Second Volume. "Akrūra's Arrival in Vṛndāvana." Is that all right?
Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Research Paper: Concise Analysis of The Research and Development R&D Department
Pages: 4 (1392 words) · Bibliography Sources: 4 · File: .docx · Level: Master's · Topic: Business - Operations
for $19.77
[. . .] Achieving outstanding R&D performance, however, requires an effective R&D strategy. R&D processes must be informed by the organization's overall strategic plan (Matheson & Matheson, 1998). Formulating the R&D strategy also requires consideration of decision making processes (centralized or decentralized), organizational resources and capabilities, winning factors, location of R&D facilities, as well as technologies to be utilized within the facilities. Other important factors relate to the extent of separation between research and development activities and the degree of reliance on external resources (Pisano, 2012). These factors must be carefully weighted to come up with an effective R&D strategy.
At the author's organization, a pharmaceutical firm with operations worldwide, the R&D department is one of the most critical departments. The organization particularly recognizes R&D as one of its pillars of growth. Driven by the desire to better humanity, the organization seeks to constantly deliver innovative products. The organization strives to undertake R&D initiatives that attend to unmet medical needs in diverse disciplines ranging from viral diseases to neurology, cardiology, oncology, anesthetics, and rare diseases. Important principles that guide the R&D department include scientific evidence, operational efficiency, and return on investment.
At the beginning, particularly during the first six years of operation, the organization's R&D strategy largely embodied centralization. Essentially, the power to make important decisions remained with the management. The management believed R&D was too critical a function to be left entirely to the R&D team. With a centralized structure, the management believed decision making would be faster. Keen on retaining control, the management was also reluctant to take advantage of external resources in spite of several attempts by the R&D team calling upon the management to exploit both internal and external expertise. Furthermore, despite having different product categories, all R&D activities were housed under one roof.
With time, however, and as the organization expanded, a centralized R&D structure proved quite detrimental to the organization, with bureaucracies and operational inefficiencies often hampering the R&D process. To cultivate a climate of innovation and creativity, it became imperative for the organization to adopt a much more decentralized structure. Though the management is involved in the process, important R&D decisions are now left to the function. A decentralized R&D structure is characterized by more autonomy and less control by the top management (Jain, Triandis & Weick, 2010). This is because innovation and creativity requires collaborative decision making.
Restructuring the R&D function was a move met with immense resistance within the organization, but it was inevitable -- it was the most appropriate decision for the organization. Indeed, since the decentralization of the R&D function, the organization has achieved greater innovation performance -- improved operational efficiency, increased R&D projects, faster time to market, and so on. The organization has also been more open to external resources. Relying on external expertise and partners has significantly improved the R&D process. Further, with a decentralized structure, the R&D function is now organized on the basis of product categories, with each product having its own independent R&D team.
Overall, R&D is important for organizational success. It accelerates growth, creates value and competitive advantage, and accelerates organizational performance. Without an effective R&D strategy, therefore, an organization may not survive in the long-term.

I've recently tried four new brands of nail polish that I've never had before and here's what I think. Although I hardly ever wear colored nail polish on my fingernails anymore, way back in the day I used to and I kind of miss it so now I'm experimenting with new brands other than my usual Revlon.
Rimmel Play Fast nail polish in STREET WEAR ($3.99) was 50% at Long's Drug so I got it for only $1.98. This is a greyish-mauve with the most gorgeous rosy-bronze pearl within it that reflects in the light and especially in sunlight. I wish I had a picture of it in sunlight because it's so damn beautiful! This may be getting discontinued because I don't see the Play Fast nail polishes on their website. This is kind of similar to Metro Chic by Sephora O.P.I., kinda.
Finger Paints ($4.99) can be found at Sally's Beauty Supply (discount with a Sally's card) and I picked up BLANK CANVAS, which is a muted dusty pink that's a perfect neutral tone for your hands. This one is creme with no shimmer.
China Glaze HEAVEN ($5.99, discount with Sally's card), can also be found at Sally's Beauty Supply. This color is a sheer white pearl for you natural girls. This is a versatile color because it can be layered over other colors. (See 3rd picture below)
China Glaze's GOLDEN MERINGUE is another sheer peachy-gold pearl color that is good for layering over another color. (See 2nd picture below) Yikes! An eyelash on my pinky nail. I hate when that happens.
The last China Glaze color I bought was YOUR TOUCH, which is not red to me but in different lighting it can be a burnt sienna or a dark-pinkish-reddish-brown that's full of shimmer. This one is hard to describe but it's one of my faves despite the brushstrokes and don't mind the unfixed cuticles.
My new favorite brand because of it's awesome packaging, fun colors and witty New York names is Carolyn New York ($7.99), which is currently having a 50% off special with free shipping and you also get a free base coat and top coat by using the code "happynewyear" until January 10.
EASTSIDE BROWNSTONE is not as brown as the swatches I've seen but more of a creme reddish-orangey brown. I'm lovin' this one and please ignore the polish on the cuticles.
Finally, I was searching high and low for a true grey and I love HANGIN' ON THE STOOP. This one is darker than Handball Courts, which I plan on getting but sometimes in certain lighting it can look like a slighty blueish-grey. This one is also a creme color that's very trendy and sophisticated.
RIMMEL PLAY FAST (0.4 fl. oz.)
Pros: Dries fast, cheap, small packaging
Cons: being discontinued???
Chip Factor: 2/10
Ingredients: not listed on bottle
FINGER PAINTS (0.5 fl. oz.)
Pros: wide range of colors
Cons: a little watery on the first coat but better on the second. (Do 2 thick coats) Contains FORMALDEHYDE RESIN
Chip Factor: 1/10
Ingredients: the exact same as China Glaze except CG has Kaolin (china clay) as it's last ingredient before the colorants and this doesn't (which can be a pro because the China Glaze chipped more than Finger Paints. The hardeners might be making the polish too brittle with the China Glaze. Contains FORMALDEHYDE RESIN (see complete list below)
CHINA GLAZE (0.5 fl. oz.)
Pros: wide range of colors, bright colors
Cons: contains FORMALDEHYDE RESIN, not impressed with all the hype because it chipped
Chip Factor: 5/10
Ingredients: see ingredients description for Finger Paints and see complete list below
CAROLYN NEW YORK (0.5 fl. oz.)
Pros: pretty colors, small compact packaging, rubber non-slip handle for easy opening and closing (love it!), flat-type brush instead of round, DIBUTYL PHTHALATE (DBP) free [DBP can cause birth defects in male fetuses] Click here to read more about this
Cons: nothing significant
Chip Factor: 5/10
Ingredients: DBP free
*NOTE* REVLON nail polish is formaldehyde and toluene free. (These are carcinogens)
Ingredients list for China Glaze & Finger Paints (REMEMBER! The only difference is that CHINA GLAZE has KAOLIN near the end of the list and Finger Paints doesn't but I'll include the whole list below): ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, nitrocellulose, propyl acetate, tosylamide/formaldehyde resin, isopropyl alcohol, trimethyl pentanyl diisobutyrate, triphenyl phosphate, ethyl tosylamide, camphor, stearalkonium bentonite, diacetone alcohol, stearalkonium hectorite, benzophenone-1, citric acid, dimethicone, kaolin (china clay), (colorants...)
FINAL WORDS: By the second day, more chipping and peeling occurred for all four brands so there really wasn't a brand that was longer-lasting than another.
I hope this helps in some way and try to pay attention to the ingredients in everything, not just makeup. Thanks for reading! =)
ICED SPICE is my favorite Revlon color and it's a lovely shimmery nudish-peach.
(Ignore the brushstrokes. My right hand gets shaky!)

We provided a series of memorable DC moments for you to vote for, we also gave you the chance to nominate other moments (which you then also voted on to get them on to the "ballot") and then you came out in droves to vote for them all! I think it was our biggest turnout yet (as it turns out, more people will vote if they just have to click buttons to vote). So now, here is the master list of the Top 75 most memorable moments in the first 75 years of DC Comics, as voted on by you, the fans!!! Do note that spoilers will almost certainly be present in these moments, and some of them could have come from comics that were intended for mature audiences only. So be forewarned!
Also, as an additional note. Do note that DC Comics almost specifically went out of its way to AVOID "memorable" moments during their first 40 or so years of existence, choosing instead to go with the idea that since reader turnover was so high, you wanted to make sure that readers didn't have to, well, remember stuff. It was only in the late 1960s or so that DC has adopted a stricter sense of continuity and really more during the 1980s that things began to change in such a fashion that it is only reasonable that more and more "memorable" events have happened in the last third of DC's first 75 years than the previous two thirds.
75. Is Batman a man or a fiend from hell? (Batman #244 by Denny O'Neil, Neal Adams and Dick Giordano)
The first Ra's Al Ghul "saga" was one of the most popular Batman stories of all-time, resulting in numerous reprint collections (including a treasury edition of the story, which did not happen for many storylines) and many sequels.
Ra's' reaction to Batman's seeming return from the grave is one of the most memorable moments from this very memorable storyline.
74. The Doom Patrol is defiant until the end! (Doom Patrol #121 by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani)
(click on images to enlarge)
Comic history is made as Drake and Premiani kill off the lead characters of the strangest superhero team around, the Doom Patrol. When the first series ends with something this unexpected and dramatic, it certainly set a tone for the "anything goes" atmosphere of the later volumes, including the acclaimed Grant Morrison run on the series.
73. Heads roll as Superboy Prime gets mad (Infinite Crisis #4 by Geoff Johns, Phil Jimenez and Andy Lanning)
This was a major turning point in the Infinite Crisis series. Up until this point, Superboy Prime could almost be seen as a well-intentioned, if a bit petulant, person. But that went out the window when he over-reacts to the intervention of the Titans with a punch heard round the world. The next page is even gorier, but the shock of the initial attack still stands out the most. Poor Pantha.
72. Swamp Thing and Abby get better acquainted (Swamp Thing #34 by Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette and John Totleben)
(click on image to enlarge)
Swamp Thing was already a ground-breaking series BEFORE they delivered this breathtaking endeavor where they showed Swamp Thing and his girlfriend, Abby, becoming intimate. Practically the entire book is filled with moments like I feature above, so I just sort of picked one moment from the issue to stand-in for all of them.
71. Lucifer locks up hell and gives Morpheus the key (Sandman #23 by Neil Gaiman, Kelley Jones and Malcolm Jones III)
(click on images to enlarge)
In this stunning scene from Sandman: Season of Mists, Lucifer quits being in charge of hell, and hands over the empty gates of hell to Morpheus, in what I suppose you would best call "the long con," as he knows it can bring Morpheus nothing but trouble.
70 Lex Luthor refuses to believe Superman is Clark Kent (Superman #2 by John Byrne and Terry Austin with Keith Williams)
(click on images to enlarge)
This dramatic twist early in John Byrne's Superman run gave us a very good insight into the mind of Lex Luthor - he cannot fathom someone NOT using their power all the time, so how could Superman be that weakling Clark Kent?!? Clever ending by Byrne, and certainly one of the most memorable moments from his popular Superman run.
69 John Stewart dooms an entire planet (Cosmic Odyssey #2 by Jim Starlin, Mike Mignola and Carlos Garzon)
(click on the images to enlarge)
In the pages right before this, John Stewart was bragging about how his Green Lantern ring could pretty much do anything. In fact, he was so confident that he sent Martian Manhunter away after the pair engaged a defense mechanism involving fire. However, when Stewart arrived, he discovered that the bomb had been made yellow specifically to counteract him. The planet of Xanshi was destroyed because he was overly confident/unprepared. This became pretty much THE defining plot point for John Stewart in the comics ever since.
68 Mogo is revealed (Green Lantern Vol. 2 #188 by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons)
(click on images to enlarge)
In this back-up in Green Lantern #188, a bounty hunter heads off to kill the mysterious Green Lantern Mogo. Well, years into his mission, he cannot find Mogo. Finally, after years of charting the planet and checking out maps, he realizes that those odd bits of scenery are something else entirely...
67 Batman...lives! (Batman: The Dark Knight #4 by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson)
(click on images to enlarge)
After the dramatic conclusion to the conflict between Superman and Batman at the end of the series, this was a brilliant little reveal, handled beautifully by Miller and Janson. I particularly love the way that they humanize Superman at the same time they turn the series' ending from dour to hopeful (although I love the joke one commenter made - "Couldn't someone have told Alfred that they were all FAKING their deaths?").
66 Animal Man can see you! (Animal Man #19 by Grant Morrison, Chas Truog and Doug Hazlewood)
(click on images to enlarge)
Grant Morrison got meta when he had Animal Man surprise the reader by revealing that he could see you!!! From this point on in the series, Animal Man was very much a work of metafiction, and one of the more popular and more blatant examples of metafiction in comics.
65. Batman strikes a pose (Batman #251 by Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams)
From the pages of one of the most famous Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams issues of Batman, the Joker's Five-Way Revenge, we get this full page splash of Batman racing across the beach to catch the Joker. This picture was so memorable that it was turned into a cover just a few years later for a Treasury Edition. It's been used in many other posters, pin-ups and covers over the years (one of DC's "The Art of Neal Adams" hardcovers uses this as the cover). More recently, John Cassaday homaged it in his Planetary/Batman crossover - it's THAT recognizable of a shot that just drawing Batman in this pose will make people realize what Adams drawing you're referring to.
64. Joker's first victim appears (Batman #1 by Bill Finger, Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson)
Joker's trademark way of killing people, with their faces stretched into a disgusting grin as they die, is probably the most iconic method of killing people of all supervillains, and it made its debut right here, in the first issue of Batman's titular series!
63. Batman discovers the Hyperclan's secret (JLA #3 by Grant Morrison, Howard Porter and John Dell)
(click on the images to enlarge)
This issue was pretty much the introduction of Grant Morrison's "Bat-God" take on Batman. This JLA run had already gotten off to a great start, but this scene really took it to the next level.
62. Krypto dies (Action Comics #583 by Alan Moore, Curt Swan, Kurt Schaffenberger and an uncredited Murphy Anderson)
(click on images to enlarge)
In one of a number of dramatic sacrifices in the final part of Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?, Krypto kills the Kryptonite Man to protect his master, and the Kryptonite Man dies stunned, as he can't fathom how anyone, let alone a dog, would be willing to die to save someone else. Swan and Schaffenberger absolutely nail the pathos of the scene (not that Moore's script was not filled with pathos itself).
61. Batman accepts a new Robin (Batman #442 by Marv Wolfman, George Perez, Jim Aparo and Mike DeCarlo)
Tim Drake made his debut in the Lonely Place of Dying and quickly stood out from the previous Robin, Jason Todd. This Robin, Tim Drake, was clever, intelligent and very respectful to not only Batman, but to Dick Grayson, as well. So when Batman concedes the point that maybe he DOES need a Robin above, Dick's smile really says it all.
60. Batman summons the bats (Batman #406 by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli)
(click on images to enlarge)
One of the most famous sequences in Batman: Year One is when Batman is surrounded by Gotham's SWAT team in a rundown building. Batman takes them down one by one until he needs one last big gambit, and it involved using a device to call a ton of bats to his aid (the scene was later roughly used in Batman Begins).
59. John Constantine outsmarts a trio of demons (Hellblazer #45 by Garth Ennis, Will Simpson and Tom Sutton)
(Click on the images to enlarge)
In what has become pretty much the most famous Hellblazer story of all time, Garth Ennis has John Constantine cheat death itself, as a dying-of-cancer Constantine cons a trio of demons by selling his souls to all three of them separately. So if Constantine dies, the demons would have to wage a terrible war against each other, which does not serve either of their interests at this point. So they cure Constantine of cancer (note that he goes right back to smoking upon being cured) and he gives them the finger. This was loosely adapted into the Constantine film.
58. The very first "Bwah Ha Ha" (Justice League International #8 by Keith Giffen, JM DeMatteis, Kevin Maguire and Al Gordon)
(click on images to enlarge)
The Justice League became "International" in issue #7, so in #8, they began setting up embassies in different International cities. Blue Beetle, Booster Gold And Black Canary were in charge of the Paris branch. While getting lunch in their civilian identities, Beetle and Booster encounter a striking woman who Booster tries to pick up - when he fails miserably, we soon get the most famous laugh in DC history (only because Joker's laughs aren't consistent).
57. Captain Marvel saves the day...kinda (Kingdom Come #4 by Mark Waid and Alex Ross)
(click on images to enlarge)
Captain Marvel had been manipulated by Lex Luthor into becoming basically a lap dog. He uses his magical lightning to hurt Superman repeatedly while Superman's allies are in a pitched battle with the super-powered beings that Superman and friends have been locking up for some time now. At the same time, however, the United Nations authorizes dropping three nukes on the various super-beings to just be done with them once and for all. Batman and Wonder Woman stop two of the three, but the third passes by untouched. Superman manages to finally break Captain Marvel free of Luthor's influence (by forcing him to turn into Billy Batson), then lets Billy decide - does he want to let Superman stop the bomb or should he just let it fall? Billy transforms into Captain Marvel and takes matters into his own hands as he flies up to the bomb and detonates it with his magical lightning. He dies (as do a bunch of super-beings), but the bomb's blast is dulled enough that there are survivors where there normally would be none.
56. Morpheus and a demon have a contest (Sandman #4 by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg)
(click on images to enlarge)
In this early issue of Sandman, Morpheus goes around and re-collects his magical items that he had lost in his years of imprisonment. To regain one of his items, he has a contest with a demon from hell. This exchange was so famous that it was even turned into an online political ad in 2008 (with Obama taking Morpheus' lines and Hillary Clinton taking the demon's lines).
55. The opening page of Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow (Superman #423 by Alan Moore, Curt Swan and George Perez)
Alan Moore delivers one of the coolest opening lines to a comic book story ever. The background art by Curt Swan and George Perez was dropped for the collected edition, for some reason, and replaced instead with a plain blue background with Moore's text written in a larger font. I get that Moore's words are the key to the beginning, but it still seems like a slightly odd idea to make the change.
54. Sue Dibny is raped (Identity Crisis #2 by Brad Meltzer, Rags Morales and Michael Bair)
(click on images to enlarge)
Brad Meltzer and DC editorial felt that they needed to have something awfully bad happen to compel the Justice League to put them into a position where they would actually mess with a supervillain's mind. What they settled on was having Doctor Light rape Sue Dibny years ago when her husband, the Elongated Man, was a member of the "satellite era" of the Justice League of America.
53. Superman flies into the sun to save it (All Star Superman #12 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely)
(click on images to enlarge)
In a lot of ways, the entire 12-issue epic series by Morrison and Quitely was leading up to this moment, where a dying Superman flies into the sun to save it...after having a nice goodbye scene with Lois, of course.
52. The first woman in a refrigerator (Green Lantern v3 #54 by Ron Marz, Darryl Banks and Romeo Tanghal)
(click on images to enlarge)
The new Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, had just been introduced a few issues earlier when writer Ron Marz came up with his own sort of "Uncle Ben getting shot" moment for Kyle (who was, in a lot of ways, a 1990s version of Peter Parker as a Green Lantern) when he had the sadistic Major Force viciously murder Kyle's girlfriend, Alex DeWitt, after Force had been sent to retrieve Kyle's ring.
51. Swamp Thing makes a discovery (Saga of the Swamp Thing #21 by Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette and John Totleben)
The Moore/Bissette/Totleben creative team quickly made a name for themselves in this dramatic reveal that Swamp Thing was not, in fact, a transformed Alec Holland, but a mutated plant creature that THOUGHT it was Alec Holland. One of the most legendary "game-changers" in the history of comics.

What Is It?
Looking at the Histogram on your camera can pinch you improve the overall exposure of your images and it's a tool that's available on most models. It's a graph that represents the reach of tones that are in the image you've taken so you can analyse the shot may refer to: Shot (filmmaking), a part of a film between two cuts Shot (medicine), an injection Shot silk, a type of silk Showt or to make sure the exposure is correct before you move on to take a photo of something else. The left side side of the graph shows the darker tones and the right the lightest.
You can set your camera to show a histogram at the same time you preview your cracks, see your camera's manual for more information on how to do this.
Why Should I Use It?
Even though the histogram histogram is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data looks at the tonal range of your go, it's a quick way for you to see if your shot is really over or underexposed. If your shot's underexposed it will look too dark while an overexposed force look a lot brighter than it needs to be and really light areas can look blown out as they lack detail.
What Does It Mean?
If the graph is inhabiting mostly the left-hand side it means your image has more dark tones than light (underexposed) and if it's shifted to the right, there are profuse lighter tones (overexposed) which means you could have really bright areas that look blown out.
A 'good' histogram that depicts an even exposure will peak more towards the middle and get lower to either end.
Also, as a side note, when you playback your incarnations there's an option you can set that makes the highlighted areas 'blink' so you can pinpoint their exact location. Check your camera's enchiridion for the instructions on how to do this.
When To Use It?
How often you check your histogram is up to you but generally, cameras are quite good at setting the exposure for most scenes. Still, there are a few scenarios that can confuse your camera and these are the times it's worth checking the histogram. For example, if you have a scene that shifts drastically in tones so you have really bright areas as well as dark shadows.
The same goes for times when you're using the but settings for a series of shots that you want the exposure to be the same for each. This could be taking a series of portraits that you're accepted to combine into a multi-portrait that shows one person in several different locations in your shot. If the exposure isn't the same in all the shots they won't mixture together seamlessly and it either won't work or it'll mean you have more post-production work to do.
There are times when the readings on the histogram would be properly, your shot isn't correctly exposed, however you may have done this on purpose so it can be ignored. When is this true? Well speed a silhouette would give you a histogram that isn't considered 'correct' likewise for a shot where the ground and sky are of a similar tonal rank such as one a beach or when it snows.

These days we're all conscious of our impact on the environment. Staying in a self-contained campervan or motorhome if you're wild camping, shopping locally and supporting environmentally friendly tourism are all ways you can help reduce your impact on the environment during your motorhome rental holiday. Also, be sure to rent a vehicle which has at the very minimum a Euro 4 engine (Euro 5 is even better).
Here are some other ways you can reduce your impact on the environment during your New Zealand motorhome rental holiday.
Environmentally friendly campervan driving
Drive your rental campervan at an appropriate speed. As well as being safer, staying at or within the speed limit reduces carbon dioxide emissions (and as a bonus it'll save you money on fuel!).
Drive your motorhome smoothly in traffic. Everytime you stop then start, your campervan's engine is using more fuel and hence producing more emissions. Watch the traffic ahead and if you see it slowing, gently lift your foot off the accelerate to gradually slow down rather than jamming on the brake.
Avoid traffic peak times in your campervan. If you're driving in your campervan around cities, take care to avoid travelling in the peak hours (generally 7-9pm and 4-6pm). You'll have a much smoother and more fuel-efficient trip and it'll be less stressful too!
Don't over rev your motorhome. Revving like Michael Schumacher before the start of a race will just waste fuel and produce harmful emissions as well as placing unnecessary strain on your motorhome's engine.
Check your campervan's tyres are inflated. Under inflated tyres cause more resistance which means more fuel is used (producing more emissions) because the engine is working harder. Make sure you regularly check the pressure of your rental motorhome's tyres and adjust them if necessary.
Don't leave your motorhome engine running. Your motorhome is wasting fuel and producing unnecessary emissions when you idle (leave the engine running). If you're going to be stopped for more than three minutes, switch off the engine. Of course, you can definitely be idle once you're stopped at your campsite – relaxing and being lazy is all part of the fun of a campervan holiday!
Use your campervan's air conditioner wisely. If you're driving under 80 km per hour, it's more fuel efficient to have the window open than the air conditioner on (over this speed, however, the air conditioner is better). Set it on low rather than high if possible.
Read the Wilderness Environmental Care Code
We'd love to hear your suggestions for environmentally friendly campervan holiday tips. Send us an email or post your suggestions on our Facebook page.

Tuesday, 01 May 2012 10:27 AM
Construction spending in the U.S. grew less than forecast in March as state and local government agencies continued to pull back.
The 0.1 percent increase followed a 1.4 percent decline in February that was larger than previously estimated, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. The median estimate of 47 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 0.5 percent increase.
Cash-strapped state and local governments will probably continue to rein in spending on construction projects, preventing the industry from making a broad-based recovery. At the same time, the lowest rental vacancies in a decade will probably continue to spur demand for apartments, leading to gains in residential real estate.
"There's been some clearer signs that apartment construction has started to pick up," Ryan Wang, an economist at HSBC Securities USA Inc., said before today's report.
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from a decline of 0.8 percent to a 1 percent gain.
Construction spending increased 6.7 percent in the 12 months ended in March, before adjusting for seasonal variations.
Private construction spending in March rose 0.7 percent from the prior month, the best performance so far this year.
Private residential outlays were up 0.7 in March, the most since November, the report showed. Private non-residential projects also increased 0.7 percent.
Home Construction
Construction of single-family houses paced the advance in private residential construction last month as multifamily building cooled. Nonetheless, apartment building was up 24 percent from March 2011, outpacing the 8.4 percent gain in houses.
Spending on public construction dropped 1.1 percent from the prior month, the fourth consecutive decrease. State and local construction shrank 1.6 percent, bringing it to the lowest level since November 2006. Federal agencies boosted construction spending by 3.8 percent.
Gains in residential real estate, which includes apartment buildings, have started to help the world's largest economy grow. Housing contributed 0.4 percentage point to gross domestic product in the first three months of the year after adding 0.25 point in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to figures from the Commerce Department. It was its biggest back-to-back contribution since mid 2005.
A more stable market may trigger improvement elsewhere. Every housing start creates three jobs, Mike Thaman, chief executive officer of Owens Corning Inc., said in an April 25 phone interview.
"The other thing about housing is it's inherently domestic. It's going to help local economies," Thaman said.
The economy grew at a 2.2 percent annual rate from January through March, helped by the biggest gain in consumer spending in more than a year, a Commerce Department report showed last week. A decline in commercial construction was among areas limiting the advance.

A Baltimore Concert Opera donor has put forth a $20,000 donation for use in a matching fundraising campaign to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the Baltimore Concert Opera. Until May 20, 2012, every dollar donated to the Baltimore Concert Opera will be matched dollar for dollar up to $20,000.00.
Baltimore Concert Opera holds an important place in the Baltimore opera community serving two communities -- those who are being introduced to opera for the first time, and seasoned opera-goers who are interested in seeing opera in a different, more intimate fashion. BCO showcases talented musicians singing great operas in an intimate, non-threatening environment and is vested in instilling and sustaining an overall interest in opera and the arts in the community.
"Cost is a big dilemma in the opera world," states Brendan Cooke, general director. "Rarely will you have a performance where the money coming in will support the product."
In 2011, the Baltimore Concert Opera pumped over $75,000 of revenue into the local community through employment of performers, hotel and housing bookings, and the use of professional services and the service industry. Baltimore Concert Opera is at a crossroads having succeeded for three years on an all-volunteer staff. In order to be sustainable into the future it is necessary for BCO to move to an organizational structure that includes staff. This matching donation and current funding campaign is vital to the continued growth and success of the concert opera and will ensure the ability of the company to develop programs relevant to expanding the opera audience within the community.
I don't think that opera is losing its relevance,'said Mr. Cooke. I think that we as an industry are losing our ability to reach the public and overcome some objections and some pre-conceived notions. We are very excited to have this support from people who have a belief in opera, a belief in Baltimore Concert Opera's ability to bring high quality performance and education to Baltimore, and who want to ensure that opera, and the BCO remain a vibrant part of this city's arts community. BCO closes their season on May 18 May 20, 2012 with three works by Puccini, in his verismo tour de force, Il Trittico, three one-act operas Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi.

About Baltimore Concert Opera:
Baltimore Concert Opera is a 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to building upon the traditions of opera and extending this to new audiences through excellence in the performance of operatic music, collaboration, community engagement and education.
