Q: maven-changes-plugin ignores configuration I am trying to use the maven-changes-plugin to generate a release notes from Jira.  However, when I inspect the logs in the maven debug mode, the specified configuration seems to be ignored.
Here's the plugin code in the top-level pom.xml:

The Shillong CALM Festival - A Brief Overview
The Shillong CALM (Creative Arts, Literary & Music) Festival is on, beginning on the 31st October 2012. It is being organized by the Meghalaya Government in collaboration with the Sahaki Society, the Sahaki is a cosy book store in Shillong. The Festival was inaugurated by the Governor and Chief Minister of the state. The focus is on youth, children, school and college students, from both urban and rural areas to give them opportunities to interact with writers, poets, musicians, artists, photographers and comedians.
On the 31st of October after the inauguration, poet and writer Sudeep Sen launched the Harper Collins Anthology of English poetry, where five poets living in Shillong or from Shillong, figure. Sudeep introduced the book to the audience, and requested each of the poets, to read out their work, as contributors to the Anthology. After this, he read out some of his poems and translations. Robin S Ngangom, Desmond Leslie Kharmawphlang, Anjum Hasan, poet and novelist read out their poems which were included in the anthology. There was a marked interest in the local poets who had the audience spell bound and captivated, by their lyrical, but down to earth poetry. Sudeep in his introductory remarks spoke of the fact, that it was a great thing that five poets originally from Shillong, have been included in this prestigious work, which is a tribute to their poetic qualities. He described them as wonderful writers, and said that what mattered to him were, first the writer, and then the person. This was the first time he was meeting them, he clarified. Above all an anthology must testify to the standards of writing, and not be a source of politrics, or for that matter nepotism, favouritism, or 'connections'.
A panel discussion followed on the challenges of compiling and editing an anthology of poetry. Sudeep Sen said that Indian poetry in English has not only come of age, but can compare with the best of fiction that is written in English by Indians. Anjum Hassan agreed to this but also made a point that the overall quality of writing fiction is perhaps better, but she sees herself as both a poet and novelist. Incidentally she is also a writer of short fiction, and her first collection of short stories has been recently published. Robin Ngangom made the point that this was the first time poets from the North East India, writing in English were included in a mainstream anthology of National and International poets. It is interesting and significant to note that this anthology consists of 85 poets, half of whom have been drawn from the Indian diaspora. In that sense it is not only a definitive piece of work but also a book with international dimensions. The poets chosen are all born 1950 onwards as the original idea mooted was to release this book in 2010, to mark the establishment of 50 years of the Indian Republic. The discussion also veered to publishing as a professional pursuit and it was generally felt that poetry does not sell so well and fiction does. That is why in India today you have writers of fiction in English who not only write serious matters in the traditional typology of the English novel, but also write thrillers, romances and detective fiction.
It was pointed out that Chetan Bhagat a very popular novelist was rejected many times before he was finally picked up by Rupa and Co. Desmond Leslie Kharmawphlang pointed out the social, historical, political and anthropological contexts of writing poetry, he himself being a folklorist. In the Shillong poets there is more than a touch of folklore, local and oral traditions. There is also comparability with music in these poets namely: Desmond, Robin and Kynpham. This was very well established when they read out their poems. Their poems smell of nature, history, politics and the sufferings of violence.
In a panel discussion on the 1st November 2012 on: "Is India the new cradle of English literature?" the panelists explored a variety of levels of discussion from what is actually creative writing to what the word cradle signifies. Does it mean that Indian writing in English is still in its infancy or has it grown substantially to be a resonant and dynamic voice in English literature? The panelists were: Patricia Mukhim, noted columnist and Padmashree Awardee, poet and novelist Anjum Hassan, Resident Editor of NDTV Kishalay Bhattacharjee. Kishalay pointed out that the best of newspapers written in English in India have contributed to creativity and originality. Patricia Mukhim said that literature, echoing Sartre, is essentially communication where voices get drowned in creativity. Anjum pointed out the fact that Indian novelists writing in English normally rely on story telling and the traditional form of the novel. A young short story writer from Shillong Janice Pariat who has recently published her first collection of short stories was also mentioned in the discussions.
Kishalay also spoke on the publishing industry and the opportunities it gives to creative writers especially novelists writing in English, in India. Also, he said that with the coming of the internet blogs have created more space for the creative writer and such space has given them opportunities to address international audiences. It was also pointed out that publishing poetry is not so easy for those who write in English as there is a limited readership for such poets, with poetry being such a subjective and personal engagement. The discussion looked at creative writing variously and some discussionists concluded that even non fictional prose can be creative. Anjum Hassan mentioned that a book of history can have literary style and functions, so can a newspaper article.
The Shillong CALM Festival promises a lot in the areas of the creative and performance arts. It is the interaction between what is written, painted or performed, between creative artists from this part of the world and those who belong to outside of North East India. It is the first platform of its type in Shillong and can certainly hold promise to be a bigger event in the years to come. But what is more important is not the festive part of it, what is important is that young people are getting a chance to generate and regenerate their ideas. Kudos to the organisers!

Camp in the Woods
By Christopher Byrne
Kristolyn Lloyd and Chris Myers in "Fairycakes."
The closest you can get to revisiting Charles Ludlam's Ridiculous Theatrical Company in 2021 is Douglas Carter Beane's new work "Fairycakes," now at the Greenwich House Theater, just a few blocks away from where Ludlam housed his works for many years.
Beane's piece traces a direct line from Ludlam — who made his name by deconstructing classic literature — with incisive wit, high camp, and stinging observation. Ludlam's work, in turn, grew out of the Absurdist movement, which beyond its largely existential philosophies, also sought to deconstruct theater as a form. Absurdism traces its roots in part to the Dadaists, who sought to deconstruct all art forms. As an exercise in theater-making, "Fairycakes" is intriguing, often splendid to look at — in an over-the-top yet down-at-heels way — and brought to zany life by a cast of favorite theater people who are always a joy to see in anything they do.
The play is a mash-up of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Peter Pan," and a series of fairy tales, including "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Pinocchio." There isn't much of a plot except the point that if Titania and Oberon (from "Dream") ultimately split up their children — the fairies, Cobweb, Moth, Mustardseed, and Peaseblossum [sic] — a curse will kill them. Puck jumps in to help and hopes to win the love of Peaseblossum, who initially disdains him. (Puck calls her "Fairycakes," which she loathes, hence the title.) Cupid makes an appearance, as does Cinderella's prince, and a pirate Dirk Dead-Eye, who seems to have gone AWOL from Captain Hook's ship. There's also a cameo from Queen Elizabeth I, presumably related to "Dream."
Somehow all this confusion and chaos makes an odd sort of sense even as people come and go very quickly and threads of one story intertwine with another. Moth, for example, is obsessed with Peter Pan, but it's an impossible love. Peaseblossum tries to help Geppetto, and Mustardseed struggles to revive Sleeping Beauty. Puck will do whatever he can to end the supposed curse.
As with Ludlam's work, there are larger themes at work. Beane is skewering our current cultural obsession with narratives, belief systems, performative identity, and romantic love. The piece turns serious in the second act when the gauze and gaiety are stripped away, and reality must be confronted. At that point, the piece becomes poignant and heartfelt, which puts all the previous manic mayhem in almost poetic perspective.
Entertaining and thoughtful as this is, "Fairycakes" has its problems. Beane has written the entire play in verse, and you'll wish he'd spent more time refining it. The scansion is often off, and the rhymes forced, which makes the text lumbering and amateurish. If this was intentional as a way of satirizing Shakespeare, it doesn't work. Beane has also chosen to direct the work, too, which is seldom a good idea. Rather than creating a cohesive vision and style, he allows each of the actors to do their signature performances, so the effect is more like a vaudeville, where each performer does their specialty. But for audience members not familiar with the performers, it would just seem uneven.
Even so, it's a treat to see this cast abandon itself to the silliness. Jackie Hoffman, as Moth, is disappointed by her unrequited love for Peter Pan, is as wry and sardonic as always. Jason Tam as Cupid and Cinderella's Prince is boyishly charming and subtly ironic. Arnie Burton as Oberon and Dead-Eye Dirk is a master of timing and sly commentary. Mo Rocca is wooden and bemused as Geppetto, but it works. And Ann Harada manages to be both appealing and mordant, as she's often been, particularly in the revival of "Cinderella" on Broadway. But if you need a reason to run out and get tickets for this show, it's to see Julie Halston. One of the most versatile comediennes working today, she scores every laugh — even those not written into the script — and lights up the stage whenever she appears. She also seems most at home with this material and the form, presumably a result of her long history working with Charles Busch, and her ability to make the incongruous and campy human.
Lewis Flinn's music is excellent. Shoko Kambara and Adam Crinson did the set, which has a deconstructivist surprise or two, and Gregory Gale did the whimsical costumes.
Coming in at two hours and 15 minutes, the piece could use some judicious cutting and allow everyone to get out before the devices wear thin. Still, as a whimsical experiment with form, a playful piece of social criticism, and a chance to see some favorite performers having a ball, "Fairycakes" has its own unique appeal and merit.

Isabelle Eberhardt and North Africa
Nomadism as a Carnivalesque Mirage
Lynda Chouiten
As a woman who traversed the North African Orient in male costume, who spoke Arabic as well as French, and who professed Islam while transgressing many of its instructions, Isabelle Eberhardt seems to fit within Mikhail Bakhtin's definition of the carnivalesque as the impulse to blend that which is usually kept separate by artificial boundaries and hierarchies. Nevertheless, this study demonstrates that her evolution in the Maghreb is carnivalesque only in appearance.
Despite her transvestism, the writer left unquestioned the traditional definitions of masculinity and femininity; it is her subscription to the patriarchal equation of maleness with power and womanhood with weakness which makes her borrow a masculine identity. In a similar way, her appropriation of several elements of Oriental culture does not prevent her from reproducing age-old Orientalist stereotypes. As portrayed in her texts, the natives are either aestheticized as picturesque figures from a bygone age or denigrated as uncivilized, dark-minded creatures. And because Orientalism, as Edward Said has famously argued, is but a textual manifestation of colonialism, Eberhardt's Orientalist texts make her the accomplice of the colonialist project, a project which she also served by acting as a mediator between General Lyautey and native tribes. In discussing Eberhardt's involvement in the colonial mission and her perpetuation of the patriarchal and Orientalist traditions, this study questions the image of rebel-figure that is usually assigned to her. Instead, it shows the writer's literary and political gestures to be embedded in a marked quest for empowerment through the double (literary and political) conquest of the Orient.

Most resolutions fall apart by the middle week of February. You may have remained strong and resolute in the month of January, but your determination has possibly vanished by 14th February. It is not possible to predict your resolution for 2013. However, it must be something related with improving your financial and physical health. Right?
If you really wish to stay financially and physically fit in the year 2013, then check out the following tips to amend your resolutions to save dollars and shed extra kilos.
1. Skip canned foods and eat fresh vegetables: Processed foods make life easier, but they are extremely bad for your health. Next time you go to Wal-Mart or a departmental store, don't buy processed foods. Buy nutritious food within your budget. Cabbage, sweet potatoes, kale, oatmeal and bananas are inexpensive food items, but they are very good for health.
2. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated: Drink water instead of the beverages. Too much caffeine is not good for your health or skin. Drink as much water as you can. This will help you have a radiant skin. You can purchase a gallon of spring water within $1. Just set up a water filter in your kitchen. You can drink pure water as much as you can without splurging.
3. Give up your membership at gym: Are you too tired to go to gym after returning from office? Do you have too much workload at your home and office to hit a gym? If yes, then there is not benefit in being a member of the gym anymore. You're simply wasting your money. Don't renew your membership at the gym. Instead, do some exercises at your home terrace or lawn. Walk a few miles while going to office to shed weight.
4. Don't depend upon supplements to lose weight: You've to put in a lot of effort to become slim and trim. There are no pills that will help you reduce weight while eating junk foods. So, don't buy pills to save money and time. Remember that your body needs to move. You have to move every part of your body. You can't do that while sleeping on your couch. You've to do loads of physical activities.
5. Don't purchase equipment to do exercises: You must have watched several advertisements on exercise equipment while surfing channels in television. You might have purchased one or two tools to get back in shape also. However, do you really use the tools everyday? If no, then what's the point of spending so many dollars on them?
Isometric exercises are very hard for the normal people and they don't need equipment also. You can use soup cans as hand weight. Other than that, you can do advanced exercises with chairs only. If you really need equipment, then purchase cheap exercise bands to make your body flexible.
Talk to your friend about your health resolutions. Your friend can give you an honest feedback about your progress. You can make a few more alternations to your resolutions to achieve your goal by the end of 2013. The best part of discussing your resolutions with your friend is that you can stay motivated to put in more effort to achieve the desired result. Your friend will be your guide and critic simultaneously.

Pakistan Authorities Shut Down Save The Children Office
New York Times: Save the Children Group Is Shut Down in Pakistan
"The Pakistani authorities on Thursday shut down the aid group Save the Children's office in Islamabad and ordered its foreign staff members to leave the country within 15 days. … The local news media, quoting government officials, reported that Save the Children had been involved in 'anti-Pakistan' activities…" (Masood, 6/11).
Washington Post: Pakistan expels aid agency Save the Children
"…The move, which could have a chilling effect on dozens of charities that work in Pakistan, was carried out after extensive monitoring of the group's members and activities, a ministry official said in an interview. … [T]he move appeared to be related to long-standing allegations of Save the Children's ties to the Pakistani physician recruited to help the CIA gain information about Osama bin Laden's whereabouts prior to the 2011 U.S. military mission that killed him in northwestern Pakistan…" (Craig, 6/11).

Q: Add rounded color border to pdfpcell in itextsharp I m using this code to give border radius to my pdfpcell
cell.Border = PdfPCell.NO_BORDER;
cell.CellEvent = new RoundedBorder();
Color color2 = new Color(System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#2AB1C3"));
cell.BorderColor = new Color(System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#2AB1C3"));
cell.BorderWidth = 2f;

and the function RoundedBorder
public class RoundedBorder : IPdfPCellEvent
{
    public void CellLayout(PdfPCell cell, Rectangle rect, PdfContentByte[] canvas)

 PdfContentByte cb = canvas[PdfPTable.BACKGROUNDCANVAS];
cb.RoundRectangle(
     rect.Left + 1.5f,
     rect.Bottom + 1.5f,
     rect.Width - 3,
     rect.Height - 3, 4
   );
cb.Stroke();
}
 }

I got rounded border but it is coming with black color and i want to give my custom color border to rounded radius
Can anyone help me on this ???

A: Since you are configuring the PdfPCell to have no border (cell.Border = PdfPCell.NO_BORDER), setting border properties like border width and color won't have any effect.
You have to define the color of the stroke operation in your cell event, e.g. for a red border:
cb.SetRGBColorStroke(255, 0, 0);
cb.RoundRectangle(
 rect.Left + 1.5f,
 rect.Bottom + 1.5f,
 rect.Width - 3,
 rect.Height - 3, 4
);
cb.Stroke();


I'm super excited about tomorrow's blogpost, so make sure you check back here to see my take on why being a Hero is not all it's cracked up to be! I'm so excited I'm posting it at 1am. Technically tomorrow, but also kind of still today.
In the meantime, check out my spoiler free review of the Percy Jackson movie, a bit more in depth than my one paragraph blurb from the other day. I don't usually DO movie reviews, so let me know how you liked it, or what you thought was lacking so next time I can cater to the whims of the public. Or, uhm, improve myself?
Thanks to everyone who has found me on Twitter! I'm really enjoying the dynamics and discussions going on in that arena. Nothing makes my day like some good conversation about mythology and ancient history, and having easy access to a community of writers all going through the same processes in real time is amazing.
I thought of doing a review on Percy Jackson, but I try to be positive on my blog.
And that was so not going to happen with that movie.
The goat post is too far down, this deserves to be closer to the top.
trinza, that is the best picture in life.
You will not be disappointed. Okay, maybe you will, but I won't be! because I love it!

Q: How to use Url.Action to pass multiple Parameters to Route I'm just learning MVC and am trying to create a SEO page title, therefore I'm sending an ID for the controller but also the page slug for the SEO.
I want to see Recipe/Details/18/foobar
but the below code returns
Results/Name/18?name=foobar
I presume its an issue with my custom Route but from all mt Research I think I'm doing it correctly.  Any assistance is appreciated.
_PartialView
<a href="@Url.Action("Details", "Recipe", new {id = Recipe.ID, name = Recipe.Slug}, null)">

RouteConfig
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Recipe",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{name}",
            defaults: new {
                            controller = "Recipe",
                            action = "Details",
                            id = UrlParameter.Optional,
                            name = UrlParameter.Optional
                            }
        );

Controller
public ActionResult Details(int id)

A: You should add your custom routes before the default one. They are processed in order, so in your case the mvc uses the default route.
Regards,
Mihail

Q: node.js with express having trouble with using csurf I am using ejs, and express to do this. I am not sure why this is keep giving me error of invalid token and I am using csurf dependency
router.get("/recipeUpload", function (req, res) {
  const csrfToken = req.csrfToken();
  // if (!res.locals.isAdmin) {
  //   return res.status(401).redirect("/");
  // }
  const step = req.session.steps;
  console.log(csrfToken);
  console.log(req.body._csrf);
  res.render("uploadrecipe", { steps: step, csrfToken: csrfToken });
});

the code above is my get
<form action="/recipeUpload" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

                        <%= csrfToken %>

                    <% for (let i=0; i < steps ; i ++){ %>
                        <%- include("includes/step") %>
                            <% } %>
                                Any referred resource?
                                <input type="text" value="#" name="reference" id="reference">
                                <input type="hidden" name="_csrf" value="<%= csrfToken %>">
                                <button class="upload-item">Submit</button>

                </form>

and this is my form
router.post("/recipeUpload", upload.array("image"), async function (req, res) {
  console.log(req.body._csrf);
  const uploadFiles = req.files;
  const userData = req.body;

  const reference = userData.reference;
  const step = userData.step;
  let imgPath = [];

  for (let i = 0; i < uploadFiles.length; i++) {
    imgPath.push(uploadFiles[i].path);
  }

  await db.getDB().collection("recipe").insertOne({

    reference: reference,
    step: step,
    imgPath: imgPath,
  });
  res.redirect("/");
});

and this is my post and I checked with postman that csrfToken that is made in get is sent to ejs file and has value in input type hidden but when it is trying to submit it it gives ForbiddenError:Invalid csrf token. Can somebody share the knowledge why is this happening
I tried with csrf({cookie:true}) with cookie-parser but at that time it started to give me csrfmiscofiguration errors.


After finishing a big meal, you feel it – that scorched feeling in your chest. Surgery is very effective at relieving symptoms and treating the complications of GERD. Approximately 80% of patients will have good or excellent relief of their symptoms for at least 5 to 10 years. Nevertheless, many patients who have had surgery will continue to take drugs for reflux. It is not clear whether they take the drugs because they continue to have reflux and symptoms browse around this site of reflux or if they take them for symptoms that are being caused by problems other than GERD. The most common complication of fundoplication is swallowed food that sticks at the artificial sphincter. Fortunately, the sticking usually is temporary. If it is not transient, endoscopic treatment to stretch (dilate) the artificial sphincter usually will relieve the problem. Only occasionally is it necessary to re-operate to revise the prior surgery.

Member spotlight: University of Southern California School of Social Work
rablogs
By Marilyn Flynn, dean of USC School of Social Work
As one of the nation'€™s first schools of social work, the USC School of Social Work is widely recognized as a top-tier graduate program that offers rigorous career preparation for academic, policy, and practice leaders and provides an innovative and supportive environment for research on critical social problems.
Researchers at the school are dedicated to exploring the social and behavioral determinants of physical and mental health issues, in addition to translating research findings into real-world strategies to improve the health and well-being of individuals and society. Because medical research is a critical component of this interdisciplinary pursuit, our scientists naturally embrace the mission of Research!America to improve awareness and build public support for research seeking to cure, treat, and prevent physical and mental disorders.
Our Hamovitch Center for Science in the Human Services was the first endowed center for interdisciplinary social work research at any university. A leader in the evidence-based decision-making and practice movement, the center continues to expand with the recruitment of nationally recognized faculty members and newly established research cores and institutes in aging; behavior, health, and society; child development and children'€™s services; homelessness, housing, and social environment; management, organizations, and policy transformation; military; and serious mental illness.
Despite decreasing federal support for long-term research projects that has challenged the translation of research outcomes into solutions in an increasingly urbanized, multiethnic, and globalized society, our faculty researchers have built on the strong legacy and research enterprise at the USC School of Social Work to successfully compete for federal funding. During the past 15 years, the school has secured more than $100 million in federal research grants.
In addition to strongly advocating for additional federal support for research to improve the health and well-being of military service members, veterans, and their families through its Center for Innovation and Research on Veterans & Military Families, the school has led an effort to identify grand challenges facing social work'€"critical issues that are broad and impactful yet solvable in a 15-year time period. Top scholars at the school are also spearheading a movement to develop a science of social work, creating a foundation that will bring further legitimacy to the profession as a scientific discipline deserving of federal research funding.
Other major research initiatives include the school'€™s Edward R. Roybal Institute on Aging, which is dedicated to advancing research to enhance optimal aging for individuals in minority and low-income communities, and the recently established Children'€™s Data Network, a groundbreaking research collaborative that is linking administrative data across agencies and organizations to improve child welfare, health, safety, and well-being.

Greenbuild International, the world's largest green building show, attracts tens of thousands of the world's leading builders, designers, home remodelers, planners, and architects. This year Greenbuild was in Washington DC and showcased green products from around the globe. The show room floor is so large that it would take you a couple of days to visit every booth.
Each year I try to find the best products at Greenbuild that can help transform your home into one that uses less energy and helps restore the environment rather than polluting it. This year I found three products that really stand out. One will help you manage your stormwater. The other two will help you get to a more reliable, energy efficient and clean energy supply.
If your home is like most, it wastes more than 20% of the electricity you pay for. Curb Energy uncovers home energy trends, pinpoints power hogs, and gives you control over your home and your electric bill.
Curb gives your house the brain it deserves. It's the first affordable smart home energy monitor on the market, and it'll make your dumb appliances smart. By connecting sensors in your electrical breaker box, Curb can monitor every circuit in your home and give you information about how you can be more energy efficient.
The possibilities for Curb are endless. By connecting the unit to your electrical box and partnering it with a smart home hub like Samsung's SmartThings, you can be the master of your home energy and reduce energy waste.
With the Curb app, you can turn appliances on and off and see granular data on how much energy you are using and what you are spending. No more surprises on your energy bill.
Made in Germany from 100% recycled polyethylene plastic, Eco-raster gives you a wonderful alternative to paved driveways. In just a few hours you can transform an old asphalt or concrete driveway into a durable driveway made of grass or gravel. Rainwater can now permeate through the driveway and go back into the soil. Most driveways just turn rainwater into pollution by diverting into gutters and roads where they collect oil, sand, salt and chemicals. Eventually, all this polluted water ends up in our rivers and streams.
With Eco-raster the rain returns to the ground and is filtered by the soil while restoring natural aquifers. As a bonus, it is much more beautiful than a paved driveway.
Aquion was by far the most innovative product on the Greenbuild Expo floor. It is the first non-toxic, safe, and affordable solution for storing solar energy in your home. Because it is made from salt-water it is also non-flammable and needs very little ventilation. The sodium ion battery solves many of the problems of lead-acid or lithium ion batteries. It is competitive on cost and lasts longer than other storage materials.
Aquion is so environmentally friendly that it is Cradle-to-Cradle certified.
This is a great solution for storing residential solar energy for use as backup power or to go completely off-grid. It's my favorite of the show.

As travel has become more accessible, more and more, the genre is opening up to amateurs and professionals alike. Amateur Travel photography is often shared through sites like Flickr, 500px and 1x. Travel photography, unlike other genres like fashion, product, or food photography, is still an underestimated and relatively less monetized genre, though the challenges faced by travel photographers are lot greater than some of the genres where the light and other shooting conditions may be controllable. Traditionally travel photographers earned money through Stock photography, magazine assignments and commercial projects. Nowadays, the stock photography market has collapsed and more and more photographers are using more innovative methods of earning a living such as through blogging, public speaking, commercial projects and teaching.
Reasons for traveling include recreation,[5] tourism[5] or vacationing,[5] research travel,[5] the gathering of information, visiting people, volunteer travel for charity, migration to begin life somewhere else, religious pilgrimages[5] and mission trips, business travel,[5] trade,[5] commuting, and other reasons, such as to obtain health care[5] or waging or fleeing war or for the enjoyment of traveling. Travellers may use human-powered transport such as walking or bicycling; or vehicles, such as public transport, automobiles, trains and airplanes.
The patrician-looking (and rather taciturn) sadhu in the top photograph did tell me that he had a family, had held a managerial position in the Indian Railway from which he earned a pension (now paid to his wife), but had decided to detach himself from temporal life and was currently studying the Vedas. These are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. He was the embodiment of a real sadhu who had really espoused the Vairāgya, and was far different from the "sadhus" I encountered on the ghats of Varanasi (below) almost 8 years later.
All the photographs in this gallery were made using the Fuji X-Pro2 and the Fujinon 18mm 2.0 pancake lens. Since I keep camera dangling from my neck as I click the shutter, the lens aperture ring occasionally slips, so I have a small piece of gaffer tape keeping it at 2.8 or 4.0 at all times. I also keep the iso at 640 most of the time. The photographs were processed with Silver Efex; my favorite monochrome software.
Once a black image is created, I clicked on File> Add Layer(s) From File, and used the Quick Mask tool (yellow arrow on left) to "paint" a line around Gui Lian. The Quick Mask tool wasn't sufficiently precise in blacking out all of the targeted areas, so I also used the Masking Brush tool (red arrow) and went over these areas on complete the task....a task that took me no more than 12 minutes; well within my range of tolerance. I then pumped up the saturation using Iridium Developer tools...a task that took under a minute.
Whether at home or abroad, when you know the ins and outs of a particular location, you can provide photography tours and location-specific workshops to serve both tourists and serious photographers. In Greece I found a professional photographer offering pricey photo tours in Santorini, a popular island with stunning viewpoints that are difficult to locate. Part of this photographer's service was to unveil these secret locations. Back in Holland, photographer Michiel Buijse offers nighttime photography workshops in Amsterdam, helping photographers shoot stunning long exposures along the historical canals. Consider what you can offer in a location you know well.
In March 2018, I traveled to Shanghai to give a lecture and a street workshop at Imaging Group, and recall doing some location scouting in Laoximen with Tamia Tang (my assistant). We met an elderly resident who had lived in her small rooms virtually all her life, and had been told that she would have to vacate them soon. She claimed satisfaction that the city would be offering residents alternative housing or monetary compensation as the weather in Shanghai was too cold for her.
You can offer photography services to any business in the travel/tourism industry at your destination of choice. Opportunities are plentiful, whether you're selling your services or offering a trade. Going skiing in Colorado? Get in touch with local lodges about trading photography for a free stay. Vacationing in Vienna? Talk to the local tourism board about shooting a few photos for a fee. I recently made a deal like this in Cape Town shooting a month-long campaign with their tourism board, which resulted in a promotional blog post and lead to even more work. Remember that a strong portfolio goes a long way, and as it grows, so will your opportunities.
Travel by water often provided more comfort and speed than land-travel, at least until the advent of a network of railways in the 19th century. Travel for the purpose of tourism is reported to have started around this time when people began to travel for fun as travel was no longer a hard and challenging task. This was capitalised on by people like Thomas Cook selling tourism packages where trains and hotels were booked together.[10] Airships and airplanes took over much of the role of long-distance surface travel in the 20th century, notably after the second World War where there was a surplus of both aircraft and pilots.[7]

Finding maximum comfort and the best value for your dollar when searching for cheap flights enables you to spend more on that vacation or weekend getaway than on getting from point "A" to point "B", which is precisely our goal. Why overspend on airline flights when you can book the cheapest flights and find flights you'll enjoy on Cheap Air? We want you to enjoy your trip and spend money treating yourself to on-board amenities, wonderful meals, taking in the sights, spa treatments, golfing or anything and everything else you love doing on vacation.

One of the facets of my photography is the one that involves fashion, travel, tradition, culture, history and last but certainly not least, storytelling. Despite searching for similar work on the internet, I wasn't able to find an equivalent for such a production. Sure, there are many extremely talented photographers who specialize in awesome fashion and glamour imagery, and some who even go to striking artistry with fantastical extremes in makeup and elaborate backgrounds (such as the well known Japanese photographer Haseo, as an example).
My personal opinion -after having met many such characters- in India; either in Varanasi, Rishikesh, Vrindavan et al, as well as at the Kumbh Mela, is that the majority of them are fake in the sense that they're not dedicated ascetics, but individuals who are adopted a vagabondage lifestyle, begging for alms and food...under the guise of being holy and religious.
Authorities emphasize the importance of taking precautions to ensure travel safety.[12] When traveling abroad, the odds favor a safe and incident-free trip, however, travelers can be subject to difficulties, crime and violence.[13] Some safety considerations include being aware of one's surroundings,[12] avoiding being the target of a crime,[12] leaving copies of one's passport and itinerary information with trusted people,[12] obtaining medical insurance valid in the country being visited[12] and registering with one's national embassy when arriving in a foreign country.[12] Many countries do not recognize drivers' licenses from other countries; however most countries accept international driving permits.[14] Automobile insurance policies issued in one's own country are often invalid in foreign countries, and it is often a requirement to obtain temporary auto insurance valid in the country being visited.[14] It is also advisable to become oriented with the driving-rules and -regulations of destination countries.[14] Wearing a seat belt is highly advisable for safety reasons; many countries have penalties for violating seatbelt laws.[14]
The Beijing style of opera, widely known as Peking Opera, was popularized under the Qing Dynasty, which was brought down by the Chinese Revolution of 1911. It had ample support from the court and spread because it was sung in a language widely understood across China, while regional varieties such as Cantonese, Shanghainese and Sichuanese opera stuck to their own dialects and songs.
There are methods to make models comfortable. Some are already ready to act the part, while others need some handholding. In advance of the photo shoot, I provide models the story lines (or script) I want them to narrate. This is crucial, since with it in mind, they can act the role. The other method is to encourage them as they pose...not so much as how or where they are to stand, but reminding them of adopting certain poses following the script as in "show me how Meili wishes she had never met the gweilo"...or "show me how Hua is scared of seeing her aging lover...".
However I didn't realize that he had done lovely work documenting a rural Chinese opera troupe in Sichuan featured on the International Business Times..thus providing me with valuable inspiration for my own long term book project involving Chinese opera of the Diaspora. My primary focus in this project is on the "rural" or provincial troupes who perform their art during Chinese celebrations and religious observances.
Aga Szydlik is a professional culture photographer and a doctoral candidate based in South Africa. She tells us that her journey with photography started with Muay Thai (the famous Thai fight style) which she documented extensively. Based in Thailand, she able to explore South East Asia, onwards to Indonesia and South Africa. She is enthusiastic about alternative processes, analogue photography, Lomography and salt/albumin prints as well as mixed media.
This is a wonderful write-up. My wheels are turning and although you've told me just where to start, I feel overewhelmed already. I've been shooting for a while now, self taught, but have realzed the several areas I need to streghten, from techincal, to the business side of things. I have so many questions. Ultimately, i feel in love with travel photography when I took my first international and solo trip to the Philippines about 5 years ago. I love to just capture whats happening around me, the people, the culture, the food. And I absolutely love to talk to people about travel, inspire them to try it themselves. I just started taking myself seriously as a photographer 3 years ago. However, I feel lost on how to get the type of clients I want and the type of work I want. In the mean time I just shoot for me. who to reach out to, how to find them, what to say. And putting together that PDF portfolio. Are my best my best? and so on. This one page has already helped and Ill be reaching out to you via email. in the meantime here are some links to my work.
If you're interested in a professional mentoring program, I offer monthly subscriptions that include creative challenges, assignments and feedback in order to improve your photography. Mentoring also includes direct access to ask as many questions as you want about anything related to being a travel photographer. Email me at [email protected] for further details.
The word travel has come to exemplify a common spelling quandary: to double or not to double the final consonant of a verb before adding the ending that forms the past tense ( –ed ) or the ending that forms the present-participle ( –ing. ) We see it done both ways—sometimes with the same word ( travel, traveled, traveling; travel, travelled, travelling ). As readers, we accept these variations without even thinking about them. But as writers, we need to know just when we should double that final consonant and when we should not. Because American practice differs slightly from British practice, there is no one answer. But there are well-established conventions. In American writing, when you have a one-syllable verb that ends with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, and you want to add a regular inflectional ending that begins with a vowel, you double that final consonant before adding -ed or -ing : stop, stopped, stopping; flag, flagged, flagging. This principle also holds for verbs of more than one syllable if the final syllable is stressed: permit, permitted, permitting; refer, referred, referring. If that syllable is not stressed, there is no doubling of the final consonant: gallop, galloped, galloping; travel, traveled, traveling. British spelling conventions are similar. They deviate from American practices only when the verb ends with a single vowel followed by an l . In that case, no matter the stress pattern, the final l gets doubled. Thus British writing has repel, repelled, repelling (as would American writing, since the final syllable is stressed). But it also has travel, travelled, travelling and cancel, cancelled, cancelling, since in the context of British writing the verb's final l, not its stress pattern, is the determining factor. Verbs ending in other consonants have the same doubling patterns that they would have in American writing. An outlier on both sides of the Atlantic is the small group of verbs ending in -ic and one lonely -ac verb. They require an added k before inflectional endings in order to retain the appropriate "hard" sound of the letter c : panic, panicked, panicking; frolic, frolicked, frolicking; shellac, shellacked, shellacking. Canadians, of course, are free to use either British or American spellings.
The setting for the photo shoot which resulted in the slideshow was the beautiful Lin Ben Yuan Family Mansion and Garden (林本源園邸) in the Banqiao District, Taipei. It was a residence built by the Lin Ben Yuan Family, and is the country's most complete surviving example of traditional Chinese garden architecture. It can be traced back to 1847 when it was built for storing of rice crop whose location was more convenient for the increasingly wealthy Lin Ben Yuan family. A few years later, it became the family's main residence.
Knowing how to use your camera is essential to success as a travel photographer because more often than not, it's those spur of the moment shots that generate the goods. If you can quickly adapt to the surroundings and know what settings to change in a split-second in order to capture a moment, you're in with a pretty good shot of becoming a professional photographer.
I have found Alessandro Bergamini's China gallery to hit all the right notes in that regard. Most of his images were made in Guizhou; a province located in the southwestern part of the country, and well known for its traditional rural villages, inhabited by minority groups like the Miao and Dong. Other images in the gallery were made in Guangxi , another autonomous region bordering Vietnam, and home to the famous cormorant fishermen of Guilin. I haven't been but I read that even though the water is too polluted now for fishing to be sustainable, these fishermen are catnip for many photographers, and earn their living in that fashion.
The third image is of Jinru Lee; a student and part-time model in Georgetown (Penang Island, Malaysia). It was made in late August 2018 under the sweltering sun of Penang, and inside the Cheah Kongsi Clan House Temple on Lebuh Armenian. I was in Penang to photograph the various Hokkien operas during the Hungry Ghost festival, and took the opportunity to set a photo shoot in its streets for a forthcoming audio slideshow (aka photo film) titled "The Phantom of the Opera".
It was in 2006 when I traveled to the sacred city of Varanasi for the third or fourth time; this time in search of real sadhus rather than those I encountered on the ghats of the river Ganges. The more photogenically flamboyant of those would "earn" a few rupees from tourists and photographers who sought to augment their inventory of exotic portraits of these characters; perhaps paying them a tidy sum if they agreed to be photographed in a rowing boat or next to a temple.

Content development complements your photography and helps you grow and earn beyond your photos. If you're a gearhead like photographer Colby Brown, you could write in-depth gear reviews, or publish post-processing tutorials like Elia Locardi, or write a how-to book like Nicole S. Young. If you enjoy travel writing, you could build a popular blog like photographer Chris Stevens, who writes travel guides and reviews popular hostels and adventure tours, complete with photos.
Readers of The Travel Photographer blog know of my current long term involvement in documenting Chinese Opera of the diaspora; an involvement that will culminate into the production of a coffee-table book bearing the same title. It is for this reason that the blog has been recently populated with posts with excellent work of Chinese opera by travel and documentary photographers.
Love your site! How do you go about not needing work visas to do photography for tourism boards, hotels etc? I see a lot of travel photography in foreign places, but in most countries its illegal to work there and next to impossible to get a work visa as a photographer. Any advice on reaching out to brands/hotels/tourism boards etc overseas without finding myself being deported for working in their country?

The origin of the word "travel" is most likely lost to history. The term "travel" may originate from the Old French word travail, which means 'work'.[3] According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word travel was in the 14th century. It also states that the word comes from Middle English travailen, travelen (which means to torment, labor, strive, journey) and earlier from Old French travailler (which means to work strenuously, toil). In English we still occasionally use the words "travail", which means struggle. According to Simon Winchester in his book The Best Travelers' Tales (2004), the words "travel" and "travail" both share an even more ancient root: a Roman instrument of torture called the tripalium (in Latin it means "three stakes", as in to impale). This link may reflect the extreme difficulty of travel in ancient times. Today, travel may or may not be much easier depending upon the destination you choose (e.g. Mt. Everest, the Amazon rainforest), how you plan to get there (tour bus, cruise ship, or oxcart), and whether you decide to "rough it" (see extreme tourism and adventure travel). "There's a big difference between simply being a tourist and being a true world traveler", notes travel writer Michael Kasum. This is, however, a contested distinction as academic work on the cultures and sociology of travel has noted.[4]
Finally I promised one little girl, who made a long journey to see me and prefer her request, -- and she is a "Dorothy," by the way -- that when a thousand little girls had written me a thousand little letters asking for the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman I would write the book, Either little Dorothy was a fairy in disguise, and waved her magic wand, or the success of the stage production of "The Wizard of OZ" made new friends for the story, For the thousand letters reached their destination long since -- and many more followed them.
Mixing the Hanxiang Water Garden photo shoot and another in the water town of Xinchang, I produced "The Legend of Hua"; a complex photo film meshing the topic of ghosts, opium, Shanghai in its 1930's heyday, traditional Chinese cultural and supernatural elements; all revolving around a plot of betrayal. Its plot is influenced by a 1988 movie by Stanley Kwan (in turn based on a novel by Li Pi-Hua (also known as Lillian Lee), one of the most influential Chinese TV writers, film writers and reporters.
rove, stray, roam, vagabond, wander, swan, ramble, range, drift, tramp, cast, roll - move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food or employment; "The gypsies roamed the woods"; "roving vagabonds"; "the wandering Jew"; "The cattle roam across the prairie"; "the laborers drift from one town to the next"; "They rolled from town to town"
1590s, "act of appointing," from Latin destinationem (nominative destinatio) "purpose, design," from past participle stem of destinare "determine, appoint, choose, make firm or fast," from de- "completely, formally" (see de-) + -stinare, related to stare "to stand," from PIE root *sta- "to stand" (see stet). Modern sense (1787) is from place of destination, where one is "destined" to go.

Bangkok's Airport Rail Link offers to run high-speed train system
by Arno Maierbrugger - Oct 26, 2013
RT Electrified Train Co, the operator of Bangkok's Airport Rail Link (ARL), is ready to manage Thailand's high-speed trains if the government approves the project, the Bangkok Post reported on October 26.
The company's chief executive Peerakan Kaewwongwattana said the motors, power supply and track size of the ARL are similar to those of high-speed trains, with only the control system needing to be changed. The company has 600 engineers trained in China who can learn to operate high-speed trains, while the Education Ministry can work with universities to produce more engineers, he said.
Running at 82 km/h, Thailand's ARLs are considered semi-high speed, while high-speed trains can travel faster than 200 km/h.
"The prime minister reiterated she wants the ARL to become a model for high-speed trains," Kaewwongwattana said.
Zhou Li, the director-general of China Railway Corporation's science and technology department, said the company is studying routes from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and Nong Khai, but the decision lies with the Thai government. "
The project will increase the employment, tourism and happiness of Thais," he said, adding that estimated costs depend on the train speed and geographical details.

For example, if you meet the $500,000 threshold on August 15, 2017, you are required to register, collect, and remit sales tax beginning on November 1, 2017.

Nameservers are machines on the Internet which convert domain names into numerical addresses that computers can understand. Your domain name must use at least one nameserver in order to function properly. You can use the default nameservers provided by UnicodeDN.com (ie. NS1.ChineseDN.COM and NS2.ChineseDN.COM), or you can use the nameservers provided by your web hosting company or IT manager.
Tip: Contact your hosting company or IT manager to determine which nameservers you should use. Don't change your domain's nameservers if you are using any of UnicodeDN.com's valued-added services.
UnicodeDN can forward your domain to an existing website at another URL. You can forward your domain to a free or community-based website that you maintain through another company. If you maintain an existing website with a hosting company, you can forward your domain to an IP address which they supply.
Standard HTTP redirect automatically forwards visitors to the URL you specify. The visitor's Location or Address bar displays the destination URL.
Frame Forwarding also forwards visitors to your URL. However, the visitor's Location or Address bar continues to display your domain name, and will not display the destination URL.
DNS Hosting allows you to point your domain at an IP address using A and MX records.
With email forwarding, all email that is sent to addresses at your domain will be automatically forwarded to an existing email account. Email addressed to sales@mydomain.com, webmaster@mydomain.com, or even user@mydomain.com will be forwarded to the destination email address supplied below.
