Israeli settlement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

by sbrothier
An Israeli settlement is a Jewish civilian community built on land that was captured by Israel from Jordan, Egypt, and Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War and is considered occupied territory by the international community.[1] Such settlements currently exist in the West Bank. Israeli neighborhoods in East Jerusalem and communities in the Golan Heights, areas which have been annexed by Israel, are considered settlements by the international community, which does not recognize Israel's annexations of these territories.[2] Settlements also existed in the Sinai and Gaza Strip until Israel evacuated the Sinai settlements following the 1979 Israel-Egypt peace agreement and unilaterally disengaged from the Gaza Strip in 2005.

A face in the crowd: the FSB is watching you! | openDemocracy

by karlcow

The FSB has set new goals: the emphasis is now on identifying individuals and building up a database of high quality video images of Russian citizens. The new CCTV systems will incorporate digital cameras with facilities for ‘intelligent video’, in other words, where the video surveillance system automatically performs an analysis of the captured video and compares it with images held in a database.

Experts who captured a giant crocodile stalked it for three weeks. The 21-foot, 600-kg seawater crocodile may very well be the largest one ever captured in the Philippines but there may be others just as enormous.

Jon Rafman

by sbrothier & 4 others
One year ago, I started collecting screen captures of Google Street Views from a range of Street View blogs and through my own hunting. This essay illustrates how my Street View collections reflect the excitement of exploring this new, virtual world. The world captured by Google appears to be more truthful and more transparent because of the weight accorded to external reality, the perception of a neutral, unbiased recording, and even the vastness of the project. At the same time, I acknowledge that this way of photographing creates a cultural text like any other, a structured and structuring space whose codes and meaning the artist and the curator of the images can assist in constructing or deciphering.

Tools and Tips for Creating Transcripts | Blog Accessibility

by Monique

When creating transcripts for videos, adding details about the setting, actions and such may be beneficial to those relying solely on the transcript. Once the spoken word is captured, that text can be used to caption the video (again, essential for accessibility) and repurposed to create products in other formats. Definitely a win-win scenario!

The GE Show Episode 3: Flight!

by karlcow & 1 other

GE Aviation designs engines, flight paths, and advanced aircraft systems. And we wanted to share the intricate choreography of flying in all its glory. So we captured all the take-offs and landings that happen over the course of one day and combined them into one short film. Watch, and see the hidden beauty of flight reveal itself.

for as long as i can remember i've been a keeper of mementos. shoe boxes full. letters, albums, torn pieces of cocktail napkins, photographs. the latter being amongst the most important. its how i recall the moments, the days, in which they were captured. its how i piece my life together. i don't love photography for the craft or the science...i love it because it allows me to capture the human experience as it unfolds. come as you are...

How-to produce an online video Show: Export & compress. The blip.tv Learning Center.

by tadeufilippini & 1 other
Export When you finish editing your video it's time to prepare it for distribution by exporting it in a format that will work well on the Web. When you upload your video to blip.tv we will keep it just as it is — so make it good. We'll also create a new version of your video in Flash. If you're just starting out and using MovieMaker or iMovie, we recommend taking a look at Freevlog's excellent step-by-step video tutorials on exporting for the Web: Step-by-step exporting in MovieMaker | Step-by-step exporting in iMovie. The settings may not be exactly what you end up using, but don't worry, you can refine your skills once you get the hang of it. General Advice CODEC stands for COmpress/DECompress video. Key frames are frames that CODECs look at to judge what kind of video they are compressing. Video compression is somewhere between a science and a mystical art - and it changes constantly. The basic problem compression solves is that video is captured at resolutions way too high to be broadcast on the Web (at least for now). The video on a DVD or miniDV tape, would take hours to download on a high speed connection. Compression software called CODECs were invented to compress video, ideally down to a file size that looks great, and also transfers as fast as the video plays, so there's no wait. CODECs delete repeated and unneeded information by looking at Key Frames. They are constantly being improved, while at the same time the file size the Web can handle is constantly increasing. Once again, it's the audio stupid! High quality sound is the most bang for the buck in terms of small file size and ability to make your video look better. However it's not only the CODEC settings that affect quality and file size, the content of the video affects how well a CODEC works. The more complex the editing, subjects and backgrounds, the larger the file will be, REGARDLESS of the settings and CODEC you use. Err on the side of high quality, full frame rate and 640 or wider video and you'll be OK.

100 Meters of Existence, a print 30 inches high, and 100 METERS wide !- Did Simon Hogsberg

by decembre
Did Simon Hogsberg Shoot the Widest Photo Ever Taken? The trouble with photographers like Simon Hoegsberg is that it’s difficult to choose only one of his projects to tell you about. To create We’re All Gonna Die – 100 meters of existence, he stood on a railroad bridge in Berlin for 20 days, photographing strangers. The result: a print 30 inches high, and 100 METERS wide. Gasp. He captured 178 people in all, each experiencing a beautifully simple moment of their lives, completely unaware. Thanks, Simon, for reminding us that sometimes you don’t need to go far for inspiration, you just need to wait. 100 Meters of Existence

iPhone Artistry

by mozkart
The images on this page were captured and processed on an Apple iPhone through an assortment of inexpensive imaging apps. The iPhone is more than just a tiny camera on a cell phone. For the first time we have both camera and darkroom in the palm of our hands. Dan’s iPhone workshops will cover the steps used to capture and process images like these and then print them on fine art digital paper and canvas.

yellowBird | See the world like never before

by karlcow

A variant of the yellowBird camera is being utilized within the Google Streetview technology. The prominent difference is that the yellowBird camera records video instead of photographs. The camera uses six cleverly divided lenses in order to capture every possible viewing direction. The data stream generated by the camera is impressive. Through a double glass-fiber connection, a stream of 1200 Mbit per second is captured and saved in an uncompressed format. Next to the camera, a surround sound microphone system enables to record audio at 96 khz as well.

wedding album - polariod

by blackgoldfish
I brought my Polaroid camera down to the wedding, and I've finally found a way to pull together the Polaroids in a special book for them. I used this Kolo album, bits of paper and cards that captured that island spirit, and Japanese tape. Oh, and my typewriter came in handy to type little captions.

Museum 2.0: How to Design from Virtual Metaphor to Real Experience, and an Example

by karlcow

The library created a book drop for every tag. To see pictures of their setup, go here. But for simplicity's sake, imagine a library that does this for just one tag, say, amazing books. When you return books to the library, you’d have a choice: drop it in the regular book drop or the book drop for amazing books. Then, the library staff would take the books in the “amazing” book drop and put them on the shelf called “Books other patrons recommend.” The librarians could also scan those books and add the “amazing” tag to them so that it is captured in the collection database.

by sbrothier
French filmmakers focus on prison industry in Fremont County. Charlotte Burrous / The Daily Record Reading an article in a French newspaper about Cañon City in the 1990s captured their imagination. But they had to put it on the backburner until recently when David Dufresne and Philippe Brault decided the time had arrived.
