Esref Armagan Paintings of a Blind Artist Painter



EÅŸref ArmaÄŸan (born 1953) is a blind painter of Turkish origin. He was born both unsighted and to an impoverished family. As a child and young adult he never received any formal schooling or training; however, he has taught himself to write and print. He draws and paints by using his hands and primarily oil paints. In this manner, Mr. Armagan has been perfecting his art for the past thirty-five years.

He needs absolute quiet when working. First, using a Braille stylus, he etches an outline of his drawing. He needs to feel that he is "inside" his painting - for example, when he is drawing a picture of the sea, he often wonders if he should wear a life jacket so as not to drown. When he is satisfied with his drawing, he starts to apply the oils with his fingers. Because he applies only one color at a time (the colors would smear otherwise), he must wait two or three days for the color to dry before applying the next color. This method of painting is entirely unique to Mr. Armagan. He receives no assistance or training from any individual. He also learned to draw perspective.

He has also developed his own methods of doing portraits. He asks a sighted person to draw around a photograph, then he turns the paper over and feeling it with his left hand, he transfers what he feels onto another sheet of paper, later adding color. He has done portraits of the former first lady of Turkey, the current president and current prime minister.

In 2008 two researchers from Harvard, Dr. Amir Amedi and Dr. Alvaro Pascual-Leone, tried to find more about neural plasticity using Mr. Armagan as a study case. Both scientists had evidence that in cases of blindness, the "visual" cortex acts differently than how it acts with the non-blind. Pascual-Leone has found that Braille readers use this very same area for touch. Amedi, together (with Ehud Zohary) at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Israel), found that the area is also activated in verbal memory tasks. When Amedi analyzed the results, however, he found that Armagan's visual cortex lit up during the drawing task, but hardly at all for verbal recall, meaning that some unused visual areas might be used in collaboration with ones needs from the brain. Moreover in scans that were held while Armagan drew, his visual cortex signals seamed as he was seeing to the extant that a naive viewer of his scan might assume Armagan really could see.

Mr. Armagan is married with two children. He has displayed his work at more than 20 exhibitions in Turkey, Italy, China, Holland and the Czech Republic. He has appeared several times on television and in the press in Turkey and has been on programs on BBC and ZD. In 2004, he was the subject of a study of human perception, conducted by the psychologist John Kennedy of University of Toronto.

In 2009 ArmaÄŸan was invited by Volvo, to paint the new model S60. As it was not meant for a TV-commercial, more of a community "PR-trick", Volvo made a series of documentaries, posted on Volvo's Facebook page, where ArmaÄŸan paints the S60, as well as single parts, wished by community. The painting was for sale on Ebay, and sold for US $3,050. The Canadian non-profit charity organization World Blind Union (WBU) was the benefactor of the auction.

How to stay beautiful-radiant looking while traveling

Traveling to different places is cool but at times it can be very damaging to your face, skin and hair. Different destinations can have different climates and weather, so if you are the jet setter kind, chances are, the harsh effects of differing climate can have a very adverse effect on your appearance.

But staying beautiful even while traveling is still possible, with some fine tuning with your usual beauty tips.

Here are some important tips on how to stay beautiful and radiant looking while traveling;

Moisturising
Whether the climate on your destination is warm or cool, it is a must to bring with you a face and body moisturiser to protect your skin from drying up.

And to avoid bringing too much products, it's best to invest in all in one moisturizers for the face and the whole body.


Sun Cream
If you will be out on the beach or will be visiting a particularly hot and humid place, you need to protect your skin from the sun's damaging rays by applying sunblock.

Even if you want a sun-kissed look to carry with you after a vacation, you will still need to apply some sun protection just to make sure you don't over do your tan and get irreparable damage from basking under the sun.

For your lips
Putting on too much lip color, or lip tints that stay too long, can both be drying for your lips. Instead you may want to bring along a medicated lip balm, with SPF and moisturizers to protect your lips from chapping.

It can be better to put on lip gloss instead of heavy lip color to have moist and pretty kissers.

Tame the tresses
Your hair can get easily frizzy when traveling to different places with different weather.

To protect your hair, you can carry along hair conditioning agents and basic shampoo to clean and keep you mane soft and beautiful.

Bring only the basics
To keep your travel hassle free, remember to bring only your basic make up. It is best to apply less make up when traveling and use products that can act in more ways than one, for instance lip and cheek colorants. Also, go easy on your mascara, some may not be well suited in very humid places, so if you can skip the mascara and keep eye color on the minimum, it is best to do so. archipelago sea adventures

While traveling and seeing the world, cut back on the amount of time spent on your beauty routine and enjoy focusing on the new sights surrounding you. Being lively, curious and interested in the world around you is the best beauty tip advice of all.

Azurite



Azurite is a soft, deep blue copper mineral produced by weathering of copper ore deposits. It is also known as Chessylite after the type locality at Northern Territory, Australia.. The mineral has been known since ancient times, and was mentioned in Pliny the Elder's Natural History under the Greek name kuanos and the Latin name caeruleum. The blue of azurite is exceptionally deep and clear, and for that reason the mineral has tended to be associated since antiquity with the deep blue color of low-humidity desert and winter skies. The modern English name of the mineral reflects this association, since both azurite and azure are derived via Arabic from the Persian lazhward (لاژورد), an area known for its deposits of another deep blue stone, lapis lazuli ("stone of azure").

How To Make Cigar in Factory



Smoking a cigar is a great experience. It can enrich meals and wine or simply help you unwind from a long, trying day. What can enhance this already enjoyable experience is smoking a cigars that you made yourself. Seem daunting? Well, it's not at all. With a little practice you'll be able to make a perfect cigar and take pride the next time you light up.

Cigar factory, and factories in the Dominican Republic, probably more than in Germany's small breweries. Each village has a small shop selling cigars, and therefore there are people who twist these cigars. Of course, there are major production, such as Famous Brand Arturo Fuente produced at a plant in Santiago, in the north. Travel agencies organize trips to the nearest factory and "their" shops, but we decided not to go through the simple and visited a small factory in very good shop in Santo Domingo.

1:- Shred your tobacco. You can use a variety of methods to do this including scissors, a sharp knife or a grinder. Try to keep the tobacco uniform in size.

2:- Spread your tobacco on a clean, flat surface, and and very lightly mist with water. Use only clean, filtered water. Don't use water straight from the tap and do not oversaturate as this can ruin your cigar.

3:- Lay the binder leaf on a flat, clean surface and begin sprinkling the shredded tobacco. Be careful of how much you add. If you over stuff the cigar it can easily rip or be too hard to smoke, while too little will create an uneven cigar that is unsatisfying.

4:- Wrap the binding leaf closed and check for a consistent density. This will tell you if you need more or less filler, and if it is distributed evenly throughout the cigar. Gently start squeezing it at one end between your thumb and index finger and work your way down to the other end.

5:- Seal the binder. You'll need to use a specific kind of glue, such as bermacol powder that you mix with water. Run a light coat of glue along one edge of the binder leaf and gently press against the rest of the cigar.

6:- Add a wrapper leaf around the binder and seal in the same fashion as in Step 5. This wrapper is both for appearances and to add flavor to the cigar.

The Human Magnet



The Magnet women Brenda Allison - who claims that she has a powerful personal magnetic field that makes metal objects stick to her skin. Strangely, this even applies to non-magnetic objects.

Not only does the 50-year-old accounts manager from Holloway, North London, say that metal items including coins, keys and even tin lids attach themselves to her, she also claims that she inadvertently sets off car alarms, blows light bulbs and interferes with TV signals.

Or maybe she's just got rather sticky skin.

She says that she's been aware of her powers since nursery school, when she started affecting electrical equipment - but it wasn't until earlier this year that she discovered metal object would stick to her.

The novelty has long since worn off, apparently, with Allison saying that her 'magnetism' now mostly being an embarassment.

She is far from the first person to claim human magnetism - many others have claimed to have similar powers, often supporting much larger metal objects than Brenda does. Most famous are the Tenkaev family in Russia, where the supposed powers stretching across three generations, with grandfather Leonid Tenkaev reportedly able to lift 23kg objects with his chest.

There was even a conference devoted to human magnets in 1990. The Superfields conference in Bulgaria attracted 300 allegedly magnetic people - although the 'powers' don't actually seem to have anything to do with magnetism, as non-metal objects are often held as well.

This applies equally to Miss Allison, of course - despite her claims that her stickyness is down to her body generating an unusually strong electromagnetic field, most of the coins she has stuck to her in the above picture aren't magnetic. (Only the copper-plated steel 2p coin would stick to a real magnet; the copper-nickel alloys of the other coins wouldn't.)

One of the earliest human magnets, a young girl from Georgia, USA named Lulu Hearst, gained fame for her feats of magnetism in the late 19th century - but eventually admitted that it was all achieved with simple trickery.

Miss Allison says that doctors have advised her that her 'magnetism' may be due to stress.

Plastic Trash Bricks



A plastic-recycling machine invented by Dunedin man Peter Lewis is spitting out the building blocks of a multimillion-dollar business.

The "Byfusion" machine has been 10 years in the making, but a working prototype at the Green Island landfill can swallow most types of raw plastic and turn it into compacted plastic bricks or other shapes.

The plastics - from drink bottles to meat packaging - went in one end of the cylindrical machine, which washed, dried and compacted the plastic, Mr Lewis said.

A brick emerged every 30-45 seconds, with each formed from 10kg of plastic.

The rock-hard bricks could be used for garden retaining or landscaping walls, and had other potential uses including shock absorbers behind crash barriers.

Consideration was being given to using the products to build hurricane and tsunami shelters in the Pacific Islands, or cheaper sustainable housing where wood was scarce, he said.

Dunedin-born Mr Lewis developed the machine while living in Queenstown a decade ago, but mothballed the project after failed attempts to market it in the United States in 2001 and Christchurch in 2003.

The machine was "ahead of its time" then, but he hoped it was now a viable solution to the piles of plastic flooding into New Zealand landfills.

Mr Lewis and his company, Bale Fusion Ltd, dusted off the project this year after being approached by Dunedin City Council solid waste manager Ian Featherston.

Mr Featherston said he stumbled across Mr Lewis' project while reading a waste management trade magazine.

He worked with the council's economic development unit and Dunedin's Business for Change cluster to bring the project south.

The council offered a $20,000 grant to help cover setup costs - paid for by a Ministry for the Environment waste minimisation levy - and cluster members also offered financial support.

Once fully operational, the machine would help the council meet waste minimisation targets and find alternative uses for some types of plastics - numbers 3-7 - that lacked lucrative recycling markets.

There would be "synergies" with the new recycling plant being built at the Green Island landfill.

It was hoped supporting the business would bring economic benefits to the city.
