TT 2018: Great British Motorcycles stamp collection celebrates the Isle of Man TT
15th May 2018 Sam Hewitt News
The Isle of Man Post Office has commissioned a set of 12 ground-breaking stamps, featuring TT greats of yesteryear – man and machine alike.
The new Great British Motorcycles set celebrates innovation, incorporating both artwork and classic archive images for the Isle of Man Post Office collection. Harold Daniell, who raced the Manx Norton Single and was a three-time TT winner both before and after World War One, and Freddie Dixon, known as 'Flying Freddie' after his victories in the 1920s on both solo machine and sidecar are just two of the riders featured in the iconic collection.
And the ground-breaking engines included in the set include the iconic Norton 'Manx' from the early 1960s, the four-cylinder, supercharged, air-cooled V-four AJS and the Excelsior Manxman, a machine at the forefront of road racing in the 1930s. Cool, right?
Maxine Cannon, General Manager of Isle of Man Stamps & Coins, said, "This is a celebration of some of the biggest manufacturers, many of whose machines and riders went onto become household names at the Isle of Man TT. That is recognised as the sternest test for machine and rider alike. We expect this to be a popular collection with motorcycling fans of all ages."
Graham Crowley, previously a Professor of Paintings at the prestigious Royal College of Arts (1998-2006) who is the artist behind the paintings, said: "I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the Isle of Man Post Office to help celebrate innovation in some truly great British motorcycles. As a fan of road-racing I've visited the Island more than 40 times since the late 1960s for the TT, Manx Grand Prix and Southern 100 and so it's important to be able to bring to life some astonishing skills and talents which went into developing such iconic machines and, ultimately, led to the racing feats of TT heroes."
Mortons Archive, suppliers of the images used on the stamps, is one of the greatest collections of motorcycle images in the world. Whether it's a rider from 1937, a showroom photograph of a rare bike model, or just a highly unusual shot of a rider in action – they have it all. The archive offers literally millions of images and documents relating to motorcycles and motorcycling, thousands of which can be viewed and accessed on-line at www.mortonsarchive.com
The stamp collection will be issued on 17th May 2018. For more information, click HERE.

---

On Tuesday night Rob Pike and Andrew Gerrand each presented at the [Sydney Google Technology User Group](http://www.sydney-gtug.org/).

Rob's talk, "[Lexical Scanning in Go](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxaD_trXwRE)",
discusses the design of  a particularly interesting and idiomatic piece of Go code,
the lexer component of the new [template package.](/pkg/exp/template/)

{{video "https://www.youtube.com/embed/HxaD_trXwRE"}}

The slides are [available here](http://cuddle.googlecode.com/hg/talk/lex.html).
The new template package is available as [exp/template](/pkg/exp/template/) in Go release r59.
In a future release it will replace the old template package.

Andrew's talk, "[Cuddle: an App Engine Demo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQtLRqqB-Kk)",
describes the construction of a simple real-time chat application that uses
App Engine's [Datastore](http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/go/datastore/overview.html),

World's first hands-free wearable rugged Android tablet for industrial workers.
The HMT-1 has a completely hands-free voice-controlled user interface allowing workers to operate the tools and equipment needed for the job, even while climbing a scaffold or tower. Allowing the worker to maintain full situational awareness and maximum productivity, HMT-1 is faster, safer and smarter than either a tablet or smart glasses.
Watch our video to learn how the RealWear HMT-1 was purpose-built for industry.
Productivity is not about working harder. It's about working smarter every day. Every aspect of the HMT-1 augmented reality headset was built to enhance worker performance.
Safety is the top concern of every industry. The HMT-1 is designed with safety in mind to help keep your eyes up and your hands on the job, with 100% situational awareness.
Training is not a one-and-done. The new generation of industrial workforce learns by video. The HMT-1 is built to move knowledge across a workforce in minutes.
The HMT-1 augmented reality headset uses four microphones and advanced algorithms to perform noise cancellation prior to voice recognition.
Workers can navigate applications and enter text and numbers just by speaking in a normal voice with accurate performance even in 95 dBA of typical industrial noise.
There's no need for a wake-up word. HMT-1 rugged Android tablet is always listening. You'll hear the trademark chirp tone and see immediate on-screen confirmation of successful voice recognition.
The result of decades of human invention.
The HMT-1 is the result of over a decade of design and innovation.
…have you ever noticed that distinctive 'antenna' on the top of Boba Fett's helmet? That device is not an antenna, it is a miniaturized wearable computer called a 'Range Finder' and the similarities to RealWear's HMT-1 are no accident. Because, shortly after Pete Rozani designed the Episode VI Boba Fett costume, Pete and Stephen Pombo (RealWear's VP of Industrial Design) started working together. After the movie, they spent years collaborating together, developing industrial grade wearable computers and co-authoring many patents for the system, dating all the way back to 1996. An example of art leading technology, we now affectionately refer to as the HMT-0.
For more than a decade, Chris has worked in the head-mounted industrial computer industry. Since first conceiving the Golden-I while at Kopin, Chris has always been confident that building a fully rugged and true 'hands-free' monocular device was the path to success across industry. Chris felt that other wearable computer products were purely aspirational, like "concept cars", and had little chance to get to scale in the harsh industrial environments. Chris is a hyper-intelligent PhD (minor in sarcastic humor), a bold risk-taker and stubbornly persistent. A true inventor and the spark that brought us together.
Only one person like him on Earth because after Stephen was designed, they broke the mold. Stephen is the most humble person that you will ever meet. However, don't let his quiet austere manner fool you, behind those bright eyes is an unparalleled wisdom and talent that we all count ourselves lucky to be around. Stephen's life stories are legendary, and if you ever meet him, ask him about the 2nd DeLorean car he worked on (think 'Great Scott!').
HMT-1Z1 is the world's first intrinsically safe head mounted wearable computer that meets Class 1 Division 1 and ATEX Zone 1 certifications – meaning it presents no ignition risk where potentially explosive atmospheres exist in normal routine operations.


The voices of survivors must be heard and placed at the heart of efforts to tackle sexual violence in conflicts around the world, the ICRC's president told a major conference on 26 March 2019.
Peter Maurer was speaking during the inaugural 'Stand, Speak, Rise Up' event in Luxembourg, attended by those affected by sexual violence as well as other leaders and experts from the international community.
Organizers hope the conference, convened by the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, will 'build new partnerships, scale existing efforts, and identify innovative and lasting solutions'.
ICRC President Peter Maurer, who spoke at the conference, said: "You can't separate healing the body and healing the mind, so an integrated approach is needed which also recognises the unbearable stigma that many people face in their communities.
"Organizations need to balance a behavioural approach which seeks to alter the actions of perpetrators, and a justice-driven approach which prioritises accountability for victims."
Sarah Cotton, policy adviser at the ICRC UK and Ireland who attended the event, said: "Sexual violence in conflict is far from inevitable - nobody commits this horrific crime, which tears lives and communities apart, by accident.
"So much more needs to be done as we strive for accountability and justice. This includes authorities and armed actors taking responsibility taking responsibility to live up to their obligations under the law."

Like their GOP counterparts, Chester County Democrats will have four names to choose from when they select two candidates for county commissioner in the May 15 primary.
The party convention Tuesday night ended with no one getting the 148 ballots needed for an endorsement.
The top vote-getter, at 136, was Virginia McMichael, a lawyer and East Whiteland Township supervisor. She was followed by Bill Scott, a lawyer and former West Chester councilman, at 135; Kathi Cozzone, an accountant and financial analyst from Uwchlan Township, at 124; and Ken Knickerbocker, a software company executive and president of the Parkesburg Borough Council, at 120.
"So we're agreed that we have four terrific candidates," said Michele Vaughn, chairwoman of the Chester County Democratic Committee.
Last week, the Republicans endorsed Recorder of Deeds Terence Farrell and Commissioner Carol Aichele, the latter by a slim margin. But former Republican jury commissioner Sandy Moser and county Treasurer Alan J. Randzin also plan to be on the ballot.
With a 2-1 voter-registration edge, Republicans have historically been guaranteed two commissioner seats, with the third seat going to the minority party.
But that registration margin has shrunk, and a theme of "opportunity" echoed throughout the Democrats' convention.
The Democrats gave "unanimous endorsements" to three candidates seeking county row offices and a county judicial candidate: Kipp Stone, a former bank executive from West Goshen, for register of wills; Downingtown lawyer John H. Kiefel for prothonotary; East Bradford Township auditor Kevin Fitzpatrick for recorder of deeds; and lawyer and educator Jennifer Levy-Tatum of West Bradford for a new seat on the Chester County bench.

India's Idea Cellular Ltd reported a surprise quarterly profit on Monday on a one-time gain from the sale of telecom towers, but an aggressive pricing war set in motion by deep-pocketed rival Reliance Jio continued to dent its topline.
Net profit came in at 2.57 billion rupees ($37.43 million) for the quarter ended June 30, compared with a net loss of 8.15 billion rupees last year, Idea said in a statement http://pdf.reuters.com/pdfnews/pdfnews.asp?i=43059c3bf0e37541&u=urn:newsml:reuters.com:20180730:nBSE85fQ0H.
Analysts, on average, were expecting a net loss of 13.71 billion rupees, according to estimates by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
However, a gain of about 33.65 billion rupees from the sale of Idea Cellular Infrastructure Services, helped the company turn in a profit.
Revenue from operations fell about 28 percent to 58.89 billion rupees.
The highly competitive market has forced smaller rivals to exit and prompted Idea to merge operations with Vodafone's Indian unit. India's telecom department has given the deal its nod, Idea said last week.
The merger, which will potentially create India's biggest telecom operator, is expected to close shortly, it added.
Idea's larger rival Bharti Airtel Ltd posted a surprise profit last week, helped by tax gains, but its bottomline remained under pressure as it tries to keep up with Mukesh Ambani-backed Jio's cut-price strategy.
Shares of Idea closed 3.6 percent higher on Monday.


"Even players from the rival Arab team got on the field with kippot as a sign of identification," player tells politician.
Yair Cohen Tzedek, the soccer player whose insistence on wearing a kippah during league games was recently at the center of controversy, was warmly received Sunday by Shas party chairman Aryeh Deri, who commended his for "fighting for Jewish identity" on the soccer field.
The Soccer Federation ruled Thursday that Cohen Tzedek -- and players in general -- may not wear a kippah during games, but took back its decision the next day following public outcry, and said that players would be allowed to wear kippot at least until then end of the season. Cohen Tzedek went on the field with the kippah on his head and proceeded to score an amazing goal, too.

HomeRuby Gemstone Why Buying Ruby Gemstone Online Is Better Option?
Buying ruby gemstone or Manik stone online is considered to be edgy by the gem buyers. Because they feel, it is quite difficult to trust on online gemstone dealers.
Buying Ruby gem from online gemstone dealer involves a lot of difficulties and fears in the mind of a buyer.
The reason behind anxiety is that many gem sellers available online openly indulge in selling fake or artificial gemstones as real stones and charging a huge amount of the customers.
And, it becomes extremely hard for a gem buyer to differentiate between a fake gem seller and legit gem seller online. Therefore, many buyers prefer to buy gemstones offline.
However, buying ruby gemstone or other precious stones offline or from local stores does not resolve the problem.
Because people complain that even local dealers also offer synthetic or artificial gemstones labeling as natural gemstones.
The reason why local gemstones dealer takes part in fraud activities because they believe that most of the people are unaware of stone's composition, their identification.
For instance, not many people know how to identify a real ruby gemstone. Hence, in the lack of awareness, they blindly put faith in the dealer who dodges them to make a huge profit.
Thus, it is better to buy ruby gemstones from online gem wholesalers or dealers instead of local dealers. The reason behind this preference is that local gem dealers do not have a variety of products to offer their buyer. They have confined stocks and knowledge about the gem market.
Similarly, while buying to the local gem dealer, we have to trust him because we can't crosscheck with people who had purchased stones from them before.
Hence, in the lack of resources, we have to buy stone from him/her. On the other hand, while buying gemstones online, we get ample amount of sources from where we can check the credibility of the gem sellers.
There are a plethora of forums available which gives us an insight of gem seller and how many people are content with his/her products. We can also get a hand to the useful resources online which tell us that how to identify ruby and other stones.
Thus, if you are willing to purchase ruby stone at a reasonable price, then go online because it has vast resources which will help you to find authentic gemstone and thus guaranteed astrological benefits.

Luxury cruise industry aims to lower carbon footprint through design technology, alternative fuels
The luxury cruise industry wants to cut its carbon footprint by making more energy efficient ships, tapping new fuels, and improving its handling of hydrocarbons so as not to repeat the 2017 pollution conviction that put the spotlight on the industry´s environmental risks.
"Despite being over 25% larger, our carbon footprint peaked more than a decade ago. And we've set 2030 targets for carbon intensity to be 20% lower than 2019 levels," said Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines, in an earnings discussion on Sep. 30, 2022.
Royal Caribbean, the second biggest pleasure cruise company after Carnival and also Miami-based, shared in May its own path to become carbon neutral. Norwegian Cruise Lines, like the other two also based in Miami, has also announced this year a net zero strategy.
Hybrid fuel cells, methanol-retrofitted engines and LNG-capable ships have been or will be introduced as part of the efforts to lower the carbon footprint by the different companies to try to be greener. Cruise lines run mostly on diesel.
A luxury cruise ship can release as much as ten times more carbon emissions than all of Europe's cars, according to a marine insight (marineinsight.com) report on June 16, 2022. In 2018 the cruise industry served over 26 million customers, it estimated.
Carnival´s plans
Carnival, with 23 ships that cover routes that range from two to 23-day cruises, said its decarbonization path involves mainly technology investment.
Weinstein mentioned "technology upgrades currently being rolled out, investing in port and destination projects, even more focus on itinerary optimization and realizing the benefit of our fleet optimization efforts," according to a Motley Fool call transcript.
"While there is no silver bullet to decarbonization for our industry yet, we are committed to working toward a solution. To this end, I'm excited about three successful pilots we recently completed using biofuels in existing engines without modification," Weinstein added.
In addition to the 23 Carnival ships, the full portfolio includes Germany-based Aida with 13 ships, Italy-based Costa with 12 ships, the Southampton, England-based Cunard with three, Seattle, Washington-based Holland America with 11, P&O Australia with three, P&O Cruises with six, California-based Princess with 15, and Seabourn, also based in Seattle, with five ships.
The AIDAnova, a ship by AIDA lines with 5,200-passenger capacity, became in 2018 the first LNG-capable ship. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is methane compressed 600 times through cryonenic processing. This reduces storage volume but requires cryogenic freezing capacity throughout transport.
Dumping conviction
A case involving the pleasure cruise industry and specifically Carnival has in recent years put the spotlight on the industry´s hydrocarbon-related pollution.
Princess Cruise Lines on Jan. 11, 2022 pleaded guilty to a second violation of probation that had been imposed after a 2017 pollution-related criminal conviction, the Department oF Justice said.
"Princess was ordered to pay an additional $1 million criminal fine and required to undertake remedial measures to ensure that it and its parent Carnival Cruise Lines & plc establish and maintain the independent internal investigative office known as the Incident Analysis Group," according to a U.S. Department of Justice statement.
Princess was convicted and sentenced on April 2017. It was fined $40 million after pleading guilty to "deliberate dumping of oil-contaminated waste" and for intentional cover up, according to the DOJ. It was the largest-ever criminal fine related to intentional pollution from ships, it said.
Princess was convicted in 2019 of six probation violations, fined an additional $20 million, and required to undertake more remedial measures. Two of those violations involved interfering with the court's probation supervision, the DOJ added.
Royal Caribbean´s path
Royal Caribbean announced in May its own strategy to become carbon neutral by 2050.
Royal Caribbean´s approach will involve a fuel-cell hybrid design that allows for zero emission at ports while "future-proofing the company's ship-building portfolio through fuel flexibility and innovation that ensure each new ship class is 20% more energy efficient than its predecessor."
Royal Caribbean is also "developing waste management technologies that can convert waste to energy. Currently 100% of the fleet is equipped to be landfill-free," it said.
Royal Caribbean, with a total fleet of 63 ships, is also 50% owner of a joint venture that operates TUI Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd. Together, the brands have an additional 11 ships on order as of March 2022.
Disney´s new LNG ship
Disney will launch in 2024 the Disney Wish, with 2,150 guest cabins, that will run on LNG. This will result in 20% less greenhouse gases, mousesteps.com reported on June 29.
"At Disney Cruise Line, we remain dedicated to limiting our impact on the environment as we support The Walt Disney Company's commitment to net-zero emissions by 2030," said Sharon Siskie, general manager of Disney Cruise Line.
The use of LNG as ship fuel compared with alternatives eliminates most sulfur oxides, reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 37%, and cuts onboard carbon dioxide releases by 20%, according to Disney.
The Disney Wish will re- purpose heat coming from the engine to warm the LNG and expand the gas again. Cold energy from the LNG tanks will feed the ship's air-conditioning systems and reduce power needs. This will help Disney Wish save "200 tons of fuel per year," according to mousesteps.com.
Norwegian eyes methanol
Norwegian Cruise Lines said on April 21 it is exploring using methanol as fuel to help reach net zero emissions by 2050. The company has 17 vessels and with its brands include Oceania and Regent Seven Seas has a total of 28 ships.
Norwegian is "actively engaging with partners including engine manufacturers and classification societies in planning for a safe and effective methanol engine retrofit," it said.
Methanol, already one of the most traded chemical commodities and relatively easy to produce and store, has captured interest also in cargo shipping.
The industry was one of the most heavily hit by the pandemic. The total worldwide ocean cruise industry was estimated at $24 billion in 2021, double from 2020 but half from 2019, according to cruisemarketwatch.com.

Entry #16: Meitantei Holmes (SoA 2016)
July 2, 2016 by Kapodaco
(Also referred to as Sherlock Hound.)
This is the earliest anime I've seen to date. Debuting in 1984, Sherlock Hound seems to be one of those "rare gems" from many people's childhoods. It's appropriate, as this show is directed at kids, under the guise of "all ages." In reality, though, it's for kids. There is no doubt in my mind that this show is directed to kids because nothing in this show would give a functioning adult any reason to continue past ten episodes.
This is the run-down for Sherlock Hound: it had a great start. It showcased exactly what you're getting into and even went beyond my expectations and developed the characters in subtle ways, while mixing the formula of each episode to make them all interesting in their own way. Even for a kids show, it had this level of maturity and grace that made it so amusing to watch. It was serious, but not so serious as to think that comedy is misplaced. The storylines were interesting and had a unique flavor due to the U.K. setting. It had everything going for it.
As early as episode seven, the anime began showing foreboding signs of accepted mediocrity. Sadly, it began to draw a course into mindless repetition. It set the sails straight into a ferocious whirlpool, where the tides carried the show around and around, seeing the same sights and sounds with each full circle.
Here's the blueprint:
A setting is established.
Moriarty—the main antagonist—and his goons establish a conflict.
Sherlock Holmes and Ben Watson discover the conflict.
Holmes figures out everything in a matter of minutes.
Holmes and co. give chase to Moriarty.
Moriarty is defeated/escapes.
Resolution to the conflict.
Even before episode seven, this anime was not great as a mystery or suspense flick. It's more of an action/adventure, as mysteries are painfully dull. It's a manner of coincidences and typical clues that only Holmes would notice. Maybe the police force should use more magnifying glasses. It has a lot more emphasis on the chase scenes between Holmes and Moriarty or the police force and Moriarty or… well, you understand. Many scenes showcase weaponry such as guns and canes, and vehicular combat of the most absurd kinds. Where does Moriarty get the motivation to construct a mechanical pterodactyl? Where does he get the resources? Who's to say? It's a funny show.
Putting the focus back onto my original point, episode seven all the way through to episode twenty-four is a game of "Watch me paint different houses green." The foundation of each episode is different, with different settings, items being focused on, and characters, but the execution is thoroughly similar each time. Refer back to my blueprint to see how each episode goes, and then imagine sitting through eighteen episodes of that, with little to no variety to characters' depth, personalities, or importance. I will give the series props for staying consistent, but in this case, it made the series an absolute chore to watch, or else I likely would've had this anime and entry finished yesterday. It's not that the structure of these episodes are bad or that, on their own, they'd come across as mediocre. It's just watching the same thing over and over that kills me. Would it kill them to do something a little different every once in a while?
Another thing that may irk some viewers is the lack of a proper ending. Spoilers or not, Sherlock Hound does not have a proper ending. The final episode doesn't feel like a final episode, but another episode in a long chain of similar episodes. There is no sort of resolution or long-standing conflict that needs a two or three-part chronology to be handled by series' end. It ends just like it begins, with Holmes solving a mystery and the sun setting upon another day in his life. No drama, no intrigue. An ending like the wind, which continues to blow without any desired destination.
The characters that make up the show are something of a crap shoot. In the beginning, they showed a lot of character, a lot of depth, and a lot of amusing interaction with one another. As the series continued, they became one-dimensional and otherwise bland. Even Moriarty, the cliché evil genius of the anime, showed some charm and chivalry in one of the earliest episodes, only to become the butt of each episode's joke like, well, a show geared towards little kids. It's disappointing to me, as someone who is no longer a little kid, to see a show try and become something simple in order to commit to a certain audience, despite showing that they can entertain even the most cynical adults. It has a wacky charm to it, no doubt, but after a while the shtick becomes old, and it became old by episode ten. Only sixteen episodes to go! If I really had to choose a favorite, it would likely be Mrs. Hudson, the landlady for Holmes and Watson, as she has a little flexibility to the character. Even so, by series' end she seems to become known for two things: aeronautics and housekeeping. A typical female trait and a not-so-typical female trait to balance out the almost blatant sexist stereotype she's presented as.
Animation is the drawing point here. Yes, the anime is old and crippled by choppy designs and a very dull color palette. That's how anime used to be. Even so, there's a nice emphasis on fast-paced movements and wacky character reactions which make the show incredibly charming to watch simply for the sake of movement. This show, made in 1984, has better animation than many anime I've seen made after it. While some character designs are crudely simplistic (see: Holmes and Mrs. Hudson in her maid attire), characters are pretty distinguishable from one another (except "beautiful" females) and I find myself really fond of Moriarty and Watson's designs. Unfortunately, I did find one incredibly blatant animation mishap in the beginning of episode thirteen. If you want to take a quick peek at that, I guarantee it'd be worth it. Even so, the animation is pretty solid in most episodes, with future episodes sort of becoming lazy with its characters' movements.
It's a kids show. That's its biggest fault. It remains simplistic and doesn't take many chances likely due to no insistence that they need to. It's a show that had potential but cannot escape the clutches of easy-going formulas. It is a damn shame that this show couldn't be catered to older audiences, as even for a kids show, I believe there's a lot more here to be explored than, say, Dragon Ball. As it is now, perhaps I should've watched the show as a kid and enjoyed it without my critical senses chiming in. It certainly wouldn't have given me such a sour vibe whenever I think of the name as it does now. It's always the ones that could've been good that hurt the most upon finishing.

The Incarnation and the Hallowing of Images
One final corollary that goes with the Incarnation of the Son of God is this: the hallowing of images. This is, again, not something most people think about. However, it sometimes presents a difficulty for people approaching the Church from a Fundamentalist Protestant, Jewish, or Muslim background. The objection is this: If Scripture bids us as follows:
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Exodus 20:4)
…then what's up with that Mary statue or that crucifix?
It's a reasonable question, but it's also worth noting that most critics of the Faith expend almost all their cries of "This breaks the Commandment!" solely on the Mary statue and the crucifix, while paying no attention whatsoever to their own bowling trophies, Bird in Flight sculptures in the Museum, Seattle Salmon Totem Poles, and statues of General Humptyfratz in the town square. All these are graven images of things in heaven above, earth beneath, and water under the earth too. But these images don't count because they are either not churchy images or they are the right kind of churchy images, acceptable in Evangelical or Fundamentalist circles.
Also overlooked in all this inconsistent hubbub about supposed Catholic violations of the commandment is the fact that God himself, just a few chapters after he gives the prohibition against images, tells Moses:
And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end, and one cherub on the other end; of one piece with the mercy seat shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. (Exodus 25:18-20)
In other words, the God who (seemingly) forbade all images almost immediately commanded the Israelites to make an image. What gives?
What gives is the prohibition of idolatry. Old Testament piety is absolute in barring Israel from acting like pagans and worshipping creatures—including the amazingly easy-to-worship work of one's own hands. (Indeed, as pagan myths like Pygmalion and modern phenomena like workaholism show, it is amazingly easy to fall in love with and give your life over to the work of your own hands.)
The constant temptation of paganism was to confuse things which remind us of God with God Himself. And so a whole host of creatures was worshiped by pagan antiquity. But as the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant eloquently attest, it is quite possible to have images which are not the object of worship but rather point us to him who alone must be worshipped. That was the silent message of the cherubim as they faced one another on the Mercy Seat, bowing in adoration to the invisible God. It was a sharp but undeniable foreshadow of what was to come when God himself took flesh and became an image.
That is why Catholics can have statues or icons in our Churches while retaining this commandment in our Bible. It was the destiny of Israel to be turned from the likeness of God to the Reality. And so all short cuts (like physical images) were denied them by this commandment, because they were being prepared, not for the revelation of a God without an image, but for the revelation of Jesus, who is the true "image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15). When that image came and God stamped his likeness on the human face of Jesus, the prohibition was transfigured. It is still true that no creaturely image can be adored as a god. But it is even truer that the Light of God shines through the Incarnate God who is Jesus Christ as it shines through a stained-glass window. Saints, who are members of his body, are now also windows into God, not barriers to his light or cheap Brand X substitutes for his glory. Therefore, in honoring their images (not worshipping them), we honor (not worship) the saints they represent and in honoring the saints, we honor their Lord, who is the True Image of God.

Interesting take: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/messyinspirations/2020/07/catholic-idols-statues/
It's forbidden because you can easily take a statue, carry it around and claim that it's God's will (and not yours, ml upngers crossed) that this or that is done or these or those are to be eradicated.
A spitting image, if you pardon the pun, of modern white supremacist Christians.
Tom R says:
For a more… nuanced explanation of the Protestant reluctance to use images in worship, may I recommend "The Humiliation of the Word" by Jacques Ellul: https://e4unity.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/humiliation-of-the-word.pdf.
Also Joy Davidman in her "Smoke on the Mountain: An Interpretation of the Ten Commandments In Terms of Today" https://www.worldinvisible.com/library/davidman/smoke/smoke.c.htm – she notes that (a large part of) the sin of idolatry is believing that, because you possess a particular physical object, you therefore have some measure of control over divine power. Davidman made it clear that this applies as much to "the cheaply printed Bible" as the more obvious examples of "idolatry". Any consistent Protestant who understands the 1.5th Commandment in context must critique the Southern Baptist who kneels before the portion of the original Betsy Ross American flag on his church's altar alongside the Catholic villagers who believe their statue of St Dominic is better at healing snake-bites than the neighbouring village's statue of St Ignatius. Idolatry is a frequent temptation for all humans; even those who say "Yep, yep, God, got it, no giving religious allegiance to anything created, whether living creatures or non-living images" find themselves slipping back into it after a generation or two.
PS: This discussion came up frequently back in the old days of Mark's "Catholic & Enjoying It" blog (the Puritan chapel in Massachusetts where 19th century Protestants used to prostate themselves before statues of their vestry committee, seeking the intercession of J Elmer Worthington III as Mediator of All Graces, got mentioned a lot). I miss the commentariat back then, they were a varied bunch. They'd post comments like "How can an iconoclastic religion like Protestantism ever produce great art?", which answered a question I'd long wondered over, viz, why the Wikipedia entries for "Muslim poets" and "Jewish novelists" are completely blank.

One of the firsts problems when you start with this kind of devices is that you need to know which is the IP of your board, in this case the Udoo Neo so that you can connect to it as a computer.
Udoo Neo is a bit different to all the other boards, it is very versatile and can be connected in different ways. In this case to be different is good.
One easy way to do this is to connect this board as a headless device, in this option you can put the password for the WiFi. Once we have done this we can search with the smartphone the devices connected to our WiFi spot. If we use LAN scan, we can see our MAC. Now we can switch on our Neo as a computer, and find our IP easily.
Now lets do it step by step. We connect the Udoo Neo Board as a headless device. You will need to follow this instructions http://www.udoo.org/docs-neo/Basic_Setup/Usb_Direct_Connection.html You can observe that WiFi is not available at this moment.
We select on our left hand side the configuration button.
We follow the instructions to set the configuration of our wireless connection.
Introduce the password for the WiFi.
Now we can see our actual IP.
Now we can scan our net with our smartphone with the LAN scan app. Once we have done this, we can see all devices connected to the same WiFi. We now write down our mac address, next time we connect our Udoo Neo to our WiFi spot, we can scan with our smartphone, we'll see our IP, and then we can connect to our Udoo Neo Computer by ssh or VNC.


My daughters, as young as they are do tell me stories from their days at school. I marvel at how times have changed, and just how generations have adapted to that change or is it really the opposite way around?
Have we now become more adept with the change of consciousness where peer pressure, bullying, kidnapping and other negative traits are essentials topics discussed within our home? One aspect that I emphasise to my girls, is that the choice of friends they keep are important. They are maybe too young to fully understand the concept, but it is a fact in all our lives, one that is not age dependent.
Have you ever had a conversation with someone that left you feeling drained and exhausted, not physically but just emotionally spent? Whereas on the other hand you may be having an exhausting day and then connect with someone who just adds laughter and a special sparkle to your day, this person makes you feel lighter and alive. These scenarios are just basic and simple reflections on how the company you keep, or rather those you associate with can have either a negative or positive effect on your consciousness and outlook on life.
It is vital to grow in a relationship, thereby keeping friendships that celebrate your achievements and not put you down. As adults, we are still very much like children who thrive on genuine compliments and care. Think back to your childhood days and look at how friendships impacted on yourself and your self- confidence. Same too as we grow we need to keep the company of those who will allow our consciousness to develop in a positive rather than a negative way.
is automatic gratitude for the current situation, even if it is a difficult one. When we share these difficult times with people who are close to us, we need to be able to seek comfort in knowing that a listening ear will make a positive difference and at the end of the conversation you will feel better than you did earlier.
Be mindful of this the next time you engage with your circle of those close to you. Silently identify those who make you feel good about yourself, the people who will listen (if nothing else) and who show genuine care. Thereafter, cautiously weed out those who are polluting your mind through a pessimistic attitude. Association is so important, aspire to keep the company of those who lift you up and share in your joy. As much as you may offer friendship, be sure that you are also surrounded by friends who are real.
Rather have a few friends who are genuine than countless that are fake. This is another important point, as I have learnt to identify those who smile genuinely and ask how I am doing in a true way of care rather than those whom are just curious to know more. Our intuition will allow us to choose our connections wisely, and tap into this positive circle to grow. Focus on giving back to those whom give you love and support. Dig up and toss away negative energy from your space.
Go on, be courageous, and experience the upliftment that this brings along making a huge difference to your consciousness and confidence.

Gentleman with Cap
Late 1930s Etching
Sam Hugh Harris
This late 1930s etching on paper portrait is by artist, poet and writer, Sam Hugh Harris who painted in the great traditions of Modern Art including Impressionism and Symbolism. He was one of the longest standing members of the reputable Carmel Art Association. At a young age, Sam started his vocation under the tutelage of his father Sam Hyde Harris (1889-1977) who distinguished himself as an early California plein air landscape painter. Sam graduated from the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Carmel Art Institute, studying figurative and still life painting. He was the pupil of John Cunningham and Alexander Archipenko and befriended John Steinbeck (The Grapes of Wrath). He was also part of a group of Monterey artists called "The New Group". Sam lived, painted and exhibited in Paris and Rome throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

The Apple Watch has made a subtle shift from health tracker to medical device. But the trend is already here, thanks to Indian innovation.
This is the first ECG product offered over the counter, directly to consumers.
At the Apple launch last week, the jumbo-sized iPhone XS Max, overshadowed the 4th generation Apple Watch -- almost. The watch attracted attention, because, in a first for Apple, a health tracking wearable had morphed into a medical device. It did this by adding the functionality of an electro cardiograph or ECG machine, albeit a single lead device, rather a 12 lead-system that hospitals use. Apple uses the ECG sensor to judge if the wearer's heart was beating normally. It sends a notification if an irregular heart rhythm is detected.
More usefully, the watch knows if the wearer has fallen down. It sends the user an alert which can be dismissed or used to initiate a call to emergency services. If Apple Watch senses immobility for 60 seconds, it will automatically call emergency services. Typical of Apple to tweak an existing function to make it vastly more user-friendly!
To loud applause at the launch event, Apple COO Jeff Williams said, "This is the first ECG product offered over the counter, directly to consumers." Not true. Thanks to Indian innovation, we know of at least 2 products where anyone can take an ECG, of acceptable quality, without the intervention of a trained medical person.
On June 11, we had reviewed the t-band from the Hyderabad-based Smartron, at Rs 4999 the first smartwatch in India, which measured heart rate, blood pressure and captured an ECG trace.
The picture describes a handy home ECG device that comes from a reputed Indian medical products company.
But a larger question remains, are ECG traces meaningful in the hands of a patient? Doctors use ECG to measure the electrical activity of the heartbeat to find out if the heart is overworked or enlarged. The hospital ECG machines use 12 leads to send a tiny electrical signal through the heart to detect any problems. Interpretation is an expert's job -- but the thinking today, is that if a cardiac episode is captured as it occurs, it is more valuable than one obtained some hours later -- the time it takes to reach a clinic. When I WhatsApped the trace captured by the t-band to my doctor, he said it was good enough to judge if I had suffered a heart attack or not.
Today's wearables can measure, pulse rate, blood pressure and increasingly, record an ECG. Lay users may not be able to make much of this. But thanks to technology and zippy communications, we can reach it to a doctor and gain that crucial gift of time, they call the Golden Hour.
Bless my heart!
BPL makes popular brands of hospital ECG machines - in addition to a range of other medical equipment. They have now shrunk the basic functions into a handy portable tool, called the Life Phone, that can be used by laypersons, the new edition, Life Phone Plus, is now available online from e-commerce sites. It is a palm-sized device that measures 12-lead ECG, blood glucose, heart rate, as well as steps are taken and calories burnt.
For starters, this is not something you would wear all the time like a watch. But it is the closest to a full function ECG that I have seen. Having paired with a phone app, you need to be seated comfortably and then to place it at four spots on your chest for a few seconds at a time. An accompanying video makes the procedure very clearly. There are no electrodes, no need to smear gel -- and if you subscribe, you get your records stored in the cloud and a physician to analyse and give advice round the clock. Life Phone Plus costs Rs 17,999. (You can get it without the glucometer, for a few thousand rupees less).
Perchance to dream
How many of us can honestly say we enjoy a good night's sleep -- regularly? There are the neighbourhood noise and the polluted air -- and then there are the worries and tensions of our own lives. Shakespeare called sleep the 'balm of hurt minds' -- it's a balm we could really use.
A young Indian researcher at the University of Washington in the US -- and the winner last week of the Marconi Young Scholar Award -- Rajalakshmi Nandakumar -- has been researching sleep and the disorder known as sleep apnea for 5 years. Apnea solutions involved strapping on sensors and connecting wires -- till now.
Rajalakshmi has created what is arguably the first contactless solution; and she did it using a smartphone and its loudspeaker system, to beam inaudible sound signals at the sleeping subject, much like a sonar system to detect activities like movement and respiration.
The result of her PhD work has been licensed to a medical solutions company, ResMed, who have put out a free app "SleepScore" for Android and iPhone that helps individuals to monitor their sleep quality.
It's not a cure in itself -- but it's the first step to sound sleep. Sweet dreams!

Pogoniopsis é um género botânico pertencente à família das orquídeas (Orchidaceae). Foi proposto por Reichenbach filius, publicado em Otia Botanica Hamburgensia, 82, em 1881, tipificado pela Pogoniopsis nidus-avis Rchb.f..  O nome é uma indicação da similitude de suas flores às do gênero Pogonia.

São apenas duas espécies terrestres, brasileiras, que habitam sobre matéria orgânica nas matas sombrias dos estados do sudeste chegando até Santa Catarina.

As espécies deste gênero distinguem-se facilmente pois não possuem clorofila, são saprófitas, de raízes curtas e fasciculadas, sem folhas, as quais apresentam-se modificadas em brácteas fibrosas que recobrem totalmente o caule carnoso e quebradiço.

As plantas são de coloração amarelo pálido e suas poucas flores, que medem entre dois e três centímetros, com grandes brácteas amareladas, podem ser de amarelo-pálido, alaranjadas ou pardacentas, com labelo de base mais ou menos bociforme-protusa, laciniado na extremidade, trilobado, com estrias alaranjadas e lobos laterais pilosos e eretos; coluna curta com asas dentadas de ambos os lados da antera que é amarela.

Espécies
Pogoniopsis nidus-avis Rchb.f., Otia Bot. Hamburg.: 82 (1881).
Pogoniopsis schenkii Cogn., Fl. Bras. 3(4): 136 (1893).

5  0.189820 -1.41650  1.18500  11.0730

How to push down the first column and add the names column [TIME, X, Y, and Z] on the first column.
The desired output is like this:
       TIME        X        Y        Z
0         0  0.69464   3.1735   7.5048
1  0.030639  0.14982  3.48680   9.2755

6  0.189820 -1.41650  1.18500  11.0730

A: In addition to above answers if your dataset already has column names and you want to replace it with your custom names then set header=0 instead of header=None

A: user1  = pd.read_csv('dataset/1.csv',  names=['Time',  'X',  'Y',  'Z'])

names parameter in read_csv function is used to define  column names. If you pass extra name in this list,  it will add another new column with that name with NaN values.
header=None is used to trim column names is already exists in CSV file.

A: I'd do it like this:
colnames=['TIME', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']
user1 = pd.read_csv('dataset/1.csv', names=colnames, header=None)

A: we can do it with a single line of code.
 user1 = pd.read_csv('dataset/1.csv', names=['TIME', 'X', 'Y', 'Z'], header=None)

A: If we are directly use data from csv it will give combine data based on comma separation value as it is .csv file.
user1 = pd.read_csv('dataset/1.csv')

If you want to add column names using pandas, you have to do something like this. But below code will not show separate header for your columns.
col_names=['TIME', 'X', 'Y', 'Z']
user1 = pd.read_csv('dataset/1.csv', names=col_names)

To solve above problem we have to add extra filled which is supported by pandas, It is header=None
user1 = pd.read_csv('dataset/1.csv', names=col_names, header=None)

A: Use nrows=1 to avoid consuming loading time if the dataset is too large.

El lligament inguinal, Lligament de Poupart o arc crural, és un lligament estès obliquament, en l'home, des de l'espina ilíaca anterior i superior a l'espina del pubis. La seva anatomia és molt important per operar pacients d'hèrnia.

Anatomia
Forma la base del conducte inguinal a través del qual es pot desenvolupar una hèrnia inguinal indirecta.

El lligament inguinal corre des de l'espina ilíaca anterior i superior de l'ili fins a l'espina del pubis de l'os púbic. És format per l'aponeurosi obliqua abdominal externa i és continu amb la fàscia lata de la cuixa.

Hi ha alguna disputa sobre les adjuncions.

Epònims
És referit incorrectament com el lligament de Poupart, perquè Poupart li donava molta rellevància en la reparació hernial (el nomenava "le suspenseur de l'abdomen", el sostenidor de l'abdomen).

Funció
El lligament serveix per contenir teixits suaus mentre corren anteriorment cap a les extremitats inferiors. Aquesta estructura demarca la frontera superior del triangle femoral.

Interior Bernhard / Performing Arts/Prose Teatro Argentina / Ludovico Cantisani / Teatro.Persinsala.it
Internal review Bernhard. Roberto Sturno and the 92-year-old Glauco Mauri stage two monologues by Thomas Bernhard, in an anti-classical reflection on the classic.
Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Artaud: three tutelary deities of a certain grandeur open the show Interior Bernhard, placed like a triptych to watch over the scene throughout the first act. Inspired by two prose by the great Austrian author Thomas Bernhard, the new work by the Mauri Sturno Company opens with The reformer of the worlda monologue, de factowhere Roberto Sturno takes on the role of an elderly non-academic philosopher who awaits the arrival of an institutional delegation from the city where he lives and, above all, from the university that he had abandoned as a young man in the process of offering him a degree honoris causa. In front of a younger and perpetually silent wife, the philosopher played by Sturno expresses all his intermittences and his hesitations with respect to the honor he is about to receive, at times retreating into the proud and bordering on arrogance memory of « some passages» of his most important work. The fact that this work, even in the fiction of the show, bears the title Treaty lets understand that, of the three personalities whose portraits stand out in the scenography, the philosopher protagonist of Reformer it is closer to Wittgenstein. Not for nothing one of Thomas Bernhard's most original and indefinable novels, Wittgenstein's nephewtold precisely of a hypothetical friendship, born in the hospital ward, between the author, the narrator, and the nephew of the philosopher of the Tractatus logico-philosophicus.
"I'll put the mask back on and play the Lear again that I haven't played in over thirty years." After a brief dreamlike glimmer, the scene is handed over to Glauco Mauri who, in the role of the mature Minetti, the fetish actor to whom Bernhard invariably entrusted his texts, pronounces a long interior monologue waiting to be able to go back to reciting the King Lear. Lowered into a much more metaphysical scenario than the other monologue, crossed by dreamlike apparitions that even glimpse Lynchian imaginary, Minetti – Portrait of an artist as an old man presents itself as a reflection on art, on theatre, on death and on reality itself – not for nothing, in one of the last bars of the monologue the old Minetti rushes to the point of promising himself that «in twenty years perhaps I will interpret Prospero», and here it seems to be Glauco Mauri speaking. An actor's obsession with the King Lear Shakespearean is the narrative trace that allows the monologue to field a broad and not obvious reflection around the classic: on stage Minetti reiterates several times that in his long career as an actor and theater director he has constantly refused to personally grapple with a classic, «apart from the King Lear», however many engagement problems this choice caused him. Towards the end of the monologue Minetti also adds that he has always wanted to act «against the audience», almost like Carmelo Bene, but «to preserve the emotion»: here perhaps the identification between Mauri and his character is not total.
«Thomas Bernhard's characters featured in the project Interior Bernhard, do absolutely nothing to be loved»: this is the summary given by the director's notes and, in a world «intact only in appearance, deeply unhinged», similar to Beckett, «the only chance of survival seems to be then the search for perfection in fields that until recently were the place of beauty, of meaning: theatre, music, literature, philosophy». In the face of chaos, the elderly intellectual consoles himself and behaves by remembering his attempt to re-found ethics made in his Treaty, in the face of death, the elderly Minetti continues daydreaming of a new staging of his Lear. As already in Kafka, even more so as already in Beckett, the characters of Bernhard – at least of Interior Bernhard – they seem to be summarized in a single, pounding gesture and a single inscrutable pose that remains unchanged throughout the show – with the important difference that in this case the pose opens up to a perhaps naive hope and that there is an authentic attempt to transcend or at least not to bow to the inauthenticity of the world, trying, at least, not to succumb to its ruthless mystery. It is no coincidence that the two monologues lead to a deconstruction. It is no coincidence that in the second, in the literal collapse of the fourth wall, in a prelude to death, by Minetti, the scene reveals itself as almost a limbo, as already in A pure formalityTornatore's film also staged by Mauri and Sturno several years ago.
Self The reformer of the world is a high-class aping of some specific components of the work and personality of Ludwig Wittgenstein, particularly significant for ambition and thematic originality is Portrait of an artist as an old man; perfect and fully centered is, ça va sans dire, the interpretation of Mauri, who in his endless career has been able to cross the classic and the anti-classical, the arcane as well as the modern. The Portrait is a long reflection on the classic, in which King Lear it takes on a nostalgic and obsessive position. What is Classic? To what extent can one of its definitions, both unappealable and arbitrary, be supported? Beyond what threshold is the negation of the classic, the parody or its questioning – as in Nietzsche, as in part in Artaud, as in Wittgenstein – itself a classic? Bernhard himself, set in the heart of the twentieth century, who died in that same 1989 of the fall of the Berlin Wall, can he already be considered a classic? These are the questions uncomfortable by Interior Bernhard, from its second part in particular. But if it is true that, as Calasso wanted, the classic is a hybrid between barbaric and neoclassical, Bernhard, and this glaucomaurized Bernhard, represent yet another thing: a phantasmagoria, perhaps, or to quote the show itself, «nothing else what restlessness», the restlessness brought about by the actor, by his irrevocable mask.

fishing | David Hunt, PE… Mechanical Engineer on the loose!
Five fish – couldn't hold them all! Four haddock, one pollack, and more fish "chowdah" than I could eat at one go… so, a tub of it awaits in the freezer.
From my once-a-year ocean fishing trip. Caught lots of fish but mostly throw-back small fry*. (At one point I was catching nothing, with people to the left and right of me pulling up keeper after keeper, I wondered aloud if my line had a fish-language sign warning: Not This One!) But it was a magnificent day out on the ocean, sun, fresh salt air, and 2-3 foot swells that gave a nice rocking action to the boat… and as long as I came home with at least one for my traditional post-trip New England "fish chowdah"… all was good for the day. As it happened, someone exceeded their limit so they donated one to me, so a large pot of soup was in the offing for that evening's dinner.
* I hated that. I want to catch keepers, knock them out, and slip them into ice… not traumatize fish that then go back having to heal up from the hook.
All these years, whenever I've gone fishing, I've clearly been doing it wrong.

Gypsy Road Leads to Vogue for Night Songs With Tom Keifer
September 5, 2018 Leave a Comment by Melodie Yvonne	Concert & Events Reviews
Article & photos by Melodie Yvonne Ramey
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (August 31, 2018) – The line stretched forever passed The Vogue Theatre in Broad Ripple filled with fans eager to see Tom Keifer, yet another legend brought to town by the infamous venue along with Q95 & Newco Metals, Inc. The crowd would not be disappointed, and their pleasing experience began as usual with the kind and helpful staff at the doors. The house filled quickly, and the first band of the night took the stage in front of a voracious audience ready to drink in every note.
MotorChief began the night with a savage set that met every bit of the crowd's brutal expectations. They didn't suffer the fate of many openers, just disregarded as a mediocre way to pass the time. They commanded the time. By the end of their set the crowd's adrenaline was so thick it could be cut with a knife.
Sacred Leather came on next with a song list that had surely been sanctified by the Gods of Metal. They spit their songs as powerfully and precisely as a dragon spitting fire which heated up the room like an oven on broil. Their searing set lit the audience on fire with a musical furry that could only be satiated by the iconic headliner himself.
Finally, the man of the night emerged on to The Vogue's stage with a fierceness that emanated in every step he took. Tom Keifer had arrived, and suddenly the casual den from the audience turned into something more akin to a barbaric yawp greeting the illustrious musician with a reception fit for a king. It was easy to tell that the beautiful artists coming on to the scene closely behind him had his back as well in a way that was more than just bandmates. The musicians huddled together quickly in the middle of the stage like warriors preparing for battle with Keifer at the helm giving the audience just a brief taste of the amazing events to come.
Oftentimes when a legend of Keifer's caliber comes to town devotees will only appear begging for classic material. It's obvious, however, that Tom has continued to redefine himself successfully throughout the years creating a fanbase that ached for nostalgia as well as his newer works. The crowd came unglued for Keifer's incredible performance of "The Way Life Goes" in every bit the same way that they went crazy for "Shake Me", and the attention was well deserved. It was easy to see that every musician on stage was putting their heart and soul into every move they made, and that amazing passion could be felt from the font of the room all the way to the back.
Keifer more than successfully executed a legion of melodies from his repertoire with the skills and style of a real master. He even gave it his all for a helluva show despite having an injured ankle proving that if there can be only one it's actually possible that someday Keith Richards might be overthrown. Fortunately, though, there is plenty of room in this world for immortal musicians aplenty, and Indianapolis is blessed to have the wonderous Vogue Theatre housing the legends any chance they get for a long time to come. With any luck that ole gypsy road will lead Tom Keifer and his band back to Indiana again soon making an Indy tour stop a new Midwest tradition for many more Hoosier generations to come.

Melodie Yvonne
Melodie Yvonne Ramey, owner, editor, & contributor at Photographic Melodie, grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. She picked up her first camera at the young age of 5, and was immediately hooked. Every trip, even just to the local park, was turned into a fantasy scene of her own imagination that would later be turned into epic tales in word and photos.
Melodie spent her teen years learning from and mentoring under professionals such as Richard Young, John Sheckler, and The Grand Conundrum. She received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Technologies majoring in Photography from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying under acclaimed professors such as Hoosier photographer Darryl Jones, Jonathan Wilson, and many other masters in the field.
Melodie's main focus has always been music photography. Growing up with photography and listening to amazing musicians inspired her dream to create visual images that made people feel the way they do when they hear the music. She wanted to help people SEE the music by capturing every magical moment of concerts that she could only dream about as she gazed into music magazines like Rolling Stone and Spin.
Melodie has done numerous jobs around the country ranging from working for bands to even being the official photographer on many southern Indiana Poker Runs. Her specialties are in nature, music, and candid event photography, as well as one of a kind photographic creations. Melodie published her first print book Photographic Memories: In the Beginning, a collection of poetry, in 2011, and has since published 2 more print works, Photographic Memories: Meet me in the Middle and Hoosier Heavens, her first photo book. Melodie currently acts as publisher, editor & lead contributor at Photographic Melodie and does freelance work with many other media outlets, venues, and artists.
Melodie says, "I started out with a Tweety bird camera and a dream and I never let go. I will always love photography and the vessel it has given me to share the images of my heart and mind with the world. I have found that every single person on this earth visualizes the world in very different ways. Some people are optimists, some are pessimists. Some people are daydreamers, and others keep their feet firmly planted on the ground. Photography allows me to show some of these different visualizations. It allows the rationalist to see that it's okay to dream, it can show the monsters hidden in the dark, and it can show even the saddest of people that there is still joy in the world."
