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.

Comes with the Territory - we make money not art

by sbrothier & 1 other
Another exhibition i just saw in Berlin is Comes with the Territory at Charim Ungar Contemporary (CUC). Don't run to the gallery just yet, the show closed on Saturday. The exhibition brought together Israeli artists who explore the daily struggle to define and stretch the boundaries of the territory. Obviously, the word 'territory' in Israel comes with tense references to occupied stretches of land such as the ones in the West Bank and the Gaza strip. The term also evokes Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, check points, separation walls, disputed borders, forced evictions, etc. The artists in the exhibition, however, approach territory in a more private context. Comes with the Territory featured the works of Rotem Balva, Raafat Hattab, Gaston Zvi Ickowicz, Joshua Neustein, Nira Pereg and Roi Vaspi-Yanai. Subjective selection of works:

Gaston Zvi Ickowicz - Photographer

by sbrothier (via)
.....Over the past three years, Gaston Zvi Ickowicz has documented settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The photographs he took there focus on the architecture of the settlements, on portraits of settlers, on fences and on roadblocks, and examine their relationship to the landscape.....

Möbius Ship | Indianapolis Museum of Art

by karlcow (via)

Möbius Ship also humorously refers to the mathematical concept of the Möbius Strip. Named after a nineteenth-century astronomer and mathematician, the Möbius Strip is a surface that has only one side, and exists as a continuous curve. Its simple yet complex spatial configuration presents a visual puzzle that parallels Hawkinson’s transformation of the mundane materials into something unexpected.

JSMin (Online Javascript version of this Tool) - A filter which removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript files

by decembre & 1 other
JSMin is a filter which removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript files. It typically reduces filesize by half, resulting in faster downloads. It also encourages a more expressive programming style because it eliminates the download cost of clean, literate self-documentation.You can automate this process with a minimizing application which you can find here and an on-line javascript version here ______ You should note that while comments are useful for maintaining the code, they are a liability itself in Javascript since they will be transmitted along with the code to each and every page load, which can create substantial bandwidth penalties and increase the load time of your page for users. This doesn't mean you shouldn't comment your code, just that once your code is "finished" you should make a backup copy with the comments, then strip out all the comments in the file which is actually sent to the user.

Senninbari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

VIDEO: Festival du striptease

by Noel Basile
Le London Burlesque Festival, une compétition qui rassemble les meilleures stripteaseuses du genre, se tient chaque année dans la capitale britannique mêlant les femmes venues s'amuser à celles qui en ont fait un métier. Le burlesque, pour ceux qui ne le sauraient pas encore, n'est pas que du striptease, au sens d'une femme qui se déshabille sur scène en faisant monter la température à 37,2°. En fait, cette forme d'art charnel a été popularisée à travers l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord dès le début des années 1850 dans un seul but de divertir le grand public sans grande prétention. « Le Burlesque devait s'adresser aux plus humbles. C'est pour cela qu'il n'y avait pas d'histoire, mais des scénarios simplissimes! » expliquait Dixie Evans qui, à son époque, était considérée comme la Marilyn Monroe du burlesque. Mieux encore, toute femme peut prétendre pouvoir faire un striptease burlesque et non seulement les déesses aguicheuses ou les bimbos allumeuses. Le striptease burlesque, populaire au sens noble du terme, ne s'arrête pas en effet à des questions de taille ou aux courbes du corps des danseuses, mais plutôt à la diversité des désirs et la beauté du corps humain, peu importe ses formes. Le burlesque est redevenu à la mode grâce aux performances de la strip-teaseuse effeuilleuse burlesque Dita Von Teese. Merci pour elle.

Painter - Test et Superbe Presentation, avec screenshoots commentés ( avec palette graphique Wacom) - WacometmaPomme

by decembre
Barre à outils - Préférences - Outils - Stylet - Brush Control - Couleurs et Calques - Visuel - Brush Creator - Plugins - Exemple - Touch Strip config - Painter X - Painter 11..... Pour les non connaisseurs, Painter est un logiciel qui imite les outils traditionnels de dessin. La première sensation est de vouloir comparer la capacité de mimétisme du logiciel avec le réel, sa façon de retranscrire numériquement une peinture à l’huile, une aquarelle ou un crayon. La seconde sensation est plus tactile et concerne l’utilisation du stylet car il y a également une volonté chez Painter de coller à la réalité du geste, dans le sens que la pression et l’inclinaison du stylet (car elle fonctionne beaucoup avec Painter pour les possesseur d’Intuos) exercées par notre main reproduisent le même cheminement et le même résultat qu’avec l’outil traditionnel.

Chris Heathcote: anti-mega: flight strip to-dos

by karlcow

In my mind, they’re the ultimate to-do (or to-worry) list. So – why not make a to-do list out of flight strips? My life is very often like Heathrow arrivals.

Les strip-teaseuses fécondes gagnent plus - JeSuisCultive.com

by kasi77
Une étude publiée en 2007 [1] a démontré que les hommes sont plus attirés par les femmes quand elles sont en période de fécondité. Des chercheurs de l’Université du Nouveau-Mexique ont étudié les pourboires de 18 strip-teaseuses de danse-contact sur une période de 60 jours : ces pourboires augmentent de 40% à 80% pendant les périodes de fécondité. En revanche, les strip-teaseuses qui prennent la pilule contraceptive ont des pourboires qui ne varient pas. Cette étude a gagné en 2008 le prix Ig Nobel ("Ig" pour "ignoble"), une parodie du Prix Nobel qui est décernée chaque année à 10 projets qui "font d’abord rire les gens, et ensuite les font réfléchir".
