Vinnie Myers is doing something incredibly amazing, I never considered that importat aspect missing a part of your body after suffering with cancer, I guess until you have to face it.
Mastectomy is the extraction of the breast after cancer, there are some reconstructions but it was the absence of a complete recovery without a colorfull nipple.
Surgeons can help you in a new breast but getting a natural design back now is possible with him.
No words can express my hapiness today, I wish it can get cheaper and more common in more countries for those with a limitate piggy bank 😉
The Pasig River Rehabilitation Project made my day, what really shocks me is to see how humans can destroy everything even when it is agains themselves.
What I consider by far more importat is the fact they have consider the direct impact in the society, I mean if poor people living on the borders do not have access to a proper “basic” house and education it quite difficult to change it.
But there is more to do, here some extra details:
The Pasig River is a 27-kilometer body of water that traverses across Metro Manila between a freshwater lake and Manila Bay. Once a major transport route, source of water and thriving ecosystem, the river is intimately connected to Philippine history.
Today, it is one of the most polluted and toxic river systems in the Philippines. The Pasig River is currently considered the ‘toilet bowl’ of Manila and is a dumping ground for domestic and industrial waste.
The ABS-CBN Foundation together with the Philippines’ Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) are co-managing the rehabilitation of the Metro Manila water basin, with an initial focus on the Pasig River and its tributaries.
The seven-year Pasig River rehabilitation project involves fund-raising campaigns; education campaigns to create awareness among residents about preventing pollution; improving the water quality and physical appearance of the waterway; and the relocation of 4,000 informal settlers along the river.
I saw several projects with the best intentions but not getting in a depper change maybe because you need a bigger team with super powers 😉
But this one is simply fantastic, we should try to copy them as there is not another way to longer like that.
I am completely mad for this TV serie, I have to admit that it is the reasong of going bed pretty late any single week.
So if there is anybody that doesn’t know about it, here some basic information:
Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin’s series of fantasy novels, the first of which is titled A Game of Thrones.
This is the Plot:
Game of Thrones roughly follows the three storylines of A Song of Ice and Fire. Set in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, the series chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the realm’s noble families for control of the Iron Throne. As the series opens, additional threats emerge in the icy North and in the eastern continent of Essos.
The novels and their adaptation derive settings, characters and plot elements from much of European history. A principal inspiration for the novels were the English Wars of the Roses (1455–85) between the houses of Lancaster and York, reflected in Martin’s houses of Lannister and Stark. Most of Westeros, with its castles and knightly tournaments, is reminiscent of High Medieval Western Europe.
The scheming Cersei, for instance, calls to mind Isabella (1295–1358), the “she-wolf of France”. She and her family, as depicted in Maurice Druon’s historical novel series The Accursed Kings, particularly inspired Martin.
The series also combines such varied inspirations as Hadrian’s Wall (which became Martin’s great Wall), the fall of Rome and the legend of Atlantis (ancient Valyria), Byzantine “Greek fire” (“wildfire”), Icelandic sagas of the Viking Age (the Ironborn) and the Mongol hordes (the Dothraki), as well as elements from the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453) and the Italian Renaissance (c. 1400–1500).
The series’ great popularity has in part been attributed to Martin’s skill at fusing these disparate elements into a seamless whole that appears credible on its own terms as an alternative history.
Unfortunatelly we must wait another year, I suffereing of monchies already!!!
After graduating from Aichi Art University Department of Design in 1995, Riusuke Fukahori (on FB) has pursued artwork full-time. In 2000, when his career reached a low point, he suddenly became fascinated by his goldfish—which despite being abandoned for seven years was still alive.
The artist calls this incident “Goldfish Salvation.” Without restricting himself to one genre, he creates diverse expressions with the exclusive subject matter of goldfish.
Artist Statement
I think of goldfish as a living sculpture with man-made modifications. It never reaches the completed form; the goldfish’s vulnerability and imperfections bring out our motherly instinct.
I’ve been bewitched with the strong energy of life of goldfish that has inherited mutations for more than 1500 years, continuously changing forms by man’s hands.
I’ve been depicting an uncountable numbers of goldfish in my work, but the mysterious pull towards goldfish will never die for me. The impulse of exploration, “What are goldfish” drives me to create more.
Where and how they want to swim, and what they think; these are the questions that I’ve been asking myself when I paint goldfish. I believe this process will help breathe life into the goldfish in my works.
Here you can see more of his art, it is beautiful.
La Linea (“The Line”) is an Italian animated series created by the Italian cartoonist Osvaldo Cavandoli.
The series consists of 90 episodes, each about 2–3 minutes long, which were originally broadcast on the Italian channel RAI between 1971 and 1986. Over the years the series aired in more than 40 countries around the world.
This serie is pretty nice as you can see an constant interaction in the animation and probably the most inocent factor which is missing in many cartoons on TV.
The cartoon features a man (known as “Mr. Linea”) drawn as a single outline around his silhouette, walking on an infinite line of which he is a part.
The character encounters obstacles and often turns to the cartoonist, represented as a live-action hand holding a white grease pencil, to draw him a solution, with various degrees of success. One recurring obstacle was an abrupt end of the line.
The character would often almost fall off the edge into oblivion and get angry with the cartoonist and complain about it. He was voiced by Carlo Bonomi in a mock version of Milanese that resembled gibberish as much as possible, giving the cartoon the possibility to be easily exported without dubbing.
The voice resembles Pingu’s, the Swiss animated penguin, which was also voiced by Bonomi.
The first 8 episodes of the series were, in fact, created to publicize Lagostina kitchenware products, and the accompanying narration identified Mr. Linea as “Agostino Lagostina, a sharp little man with a truly expressive nose.” After the 8th episode, however, the series broke its association with Lagostina
Bilderberg Group is the elite of the elite controlling the top economy and new order, so you may be informed to see how this planet will be shortly.
The tv serie Utopia done by the BBC is pretty good to show something clear like that one.
Pretty scary!
