candid photographs of the 20th and 21st centuries of New York City life.

These two storied are about Brown Bears that I photographed on the Russian River. They were just being themselves and had no idea that I was even there. I tried to capture what they were thinking as they went about what they were doing.

A book "I Love New York" offers collection of 78 color photographs taken by Nadia Russ in Manhattan of New York City in 2012-2013. These images capture uniqueness of City with its parks, high-rise glamorous architecture, holiday's decor, and famous tourist destinations such as Empire State Building and the new World Trade Center, Times Square, Union and Madison Squares, Fifth Avenue and Broadway, SOHO, much more. The photographs carry a flavor of metropolitan city, the center of culture and finance with its diversity.

Bombs, blood, explosions, violence, battles, helmeted soldiers, armed Taliban. These are the images of the Afghan conflict that we are accustomed to seeing. And yet, there is much more. There is another side to this country, Another Side of the Lens. Along with soldiers and misfortunes, there are human beings and moments of joy. This is what a soldier who was deployed twice to the Kandahar region reveals. Although he had the unique experience of seeing bullets pass by at close proximity, this is not what most marked this Canadian sniper. This is not at all what he shows us. Transcending political disputes and personal opinions, the images of this conflict and especially of this country are transformed. Without glorifying war, they honor those who live through and endure it. For example, we catch a glimpse of Afghan children playing at sunrise and sunset. Laying down their weapons, we see soldiers having fun on swings and slides in a park. We get a close-up view of the daily life of Afghan nomads in their tents, who in the winter keep warm using plastic bottles left behind by the Coalition. We come into contact with Afghan shepherds who, their hands covered in a permanent dust, walk among soldiers dressed in "extraterrestrials' suits." The Other Side of the Lens comprises two volumes that include hundreds of original images about the Afghan conflict. The author, OLOrtiz, has posted twenty-five photos on his website (www.OLOrtiz.com). The gaze of a person who loves Afghanistan and its people. More than just sniper pictures, the account of a soldier who photographed more than he shot. Afghanistan is not just a war.

Behind Amazon's quirky smile logo lurks a cold and calculating giant machine. Author Kalpanik S. reveals his own smile as he tells the somewhat quirky story of his complex, and often hilarious, relationship with Amazon. From the sophisticated wit in his portrayal of the courtship period in "How To Get Hired By Amazon In Ten Days," to the dark humor of the disillusionment period in "The Cold, Calculating Machine," Kalpanik's story is more than just an insider's view of the giant machine known as Amazon.com. It's a modern, universal story of the uneasy relationship between an individual and today's gargantuan corporations. In the end, it is also a story of redemption for creative and freethinking individuals that define America.

Acclaim for the book

... not only does the author makes us feel the vitality of the Hi-Tech worlds of California & Seattle but his very emotional experiences as an immigrant, a father and a dislocated worker. I love his leaps of imagination, and the words which hook us in, make us think this is our story.

For example, here is what it means to yearn for acceptance: "I looked at Seattle's glistening skyline on one side and its beautiful waterfront on the other and asked it the same questions I had asked San Francisco sixteen years ago: will it accept me? Or will its people treat me as someone different, not one of them?"

Overall, a hip, funny and yet very poignant story

This edition of the book was revised in December 2011 to include author's perspective on the 2011 Amazon Warehouse scandal, where a detailed investigative report on worker treatment at a regional warehouse by a local newspaper caught national media attention. Confessions of a foreign born author

I must confess that English is my third language, and even though this book has been edited by several professional native English editors, it is obvious-even to me- that this book is written by a Foreign-born author.

Foreign-born or not, I believe I have a talent for storytelling, and I have converted a dull topic-the transformation of Amazon from a retail website to a marketplace-into an interesting and lively story.

This is more of a little book than a big one. Being a technologist, I tend to be concise in my writing. The printed version of this edition is about 220 pages. This may be too little for a few readers, too much for others, and hopefully, just right for the some.

So, If you are looking for a 1,000-page treatise on Amazon that can be used as an example of perfect grammar in the High school English grammar class, then this book may not be the right book for you. There are several other books on Amazon which are written in perfect English but are perfectly boring.

A book about Amazon can be pretty dry, so I have tried to add some humor. In my attempt to make this book funny, a few facts may have been stretched. I quote this passage from 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com, written by Mike Daisey, a fellow Amazon alumnus-turned author:
""Some facts were injured in the telling of this story. The truth, however, remains unharmed." "
That applies to this book as well.

To respect the privacy of the people involved in this story, their names have been changed - with one exception. Trust me, there really is a guy named Jeff Bezos who works at Amazon.

All in all, I am proud of my work, Enjoy

Fiber artists around the world have embraced crochet as an inventive medium like never before. Expanding on the creative possibilities, using sculpture, immense site-specific installations, performance and mixed media objects, they have used crochet techniques to explore feminine craft and heritage, to explore gender codes and to show the primal creative expression represented by crochet. In The Fine Art of Crochet, Gwen Blakley Kinsler looks at the art crochet movement from 1915 onward to the Crochet Revolution of the 1960s by profiling twenty of the most innovative practitioners working today, including such internationally known artists as Arline Fisch, Leslie Pontz, Carol Hummel, Tracy Krumm, Bonnie Meltzer and Soonran Youn. Blakley Kinsler, the Founder of the Crochet Guild of America and a fiber art practitioner in her own right, examines the concepts and the awe-inspiring works of these artists whose medium of choice is crochet. Documenting these artists, in whose hands the magic of crochet creates cutting-edge art for the twenty-first century, she offers insight to those who may not have otherwise thought to go beyond the purely practical aspect of crochet. The works featured in this book represent the diverse styles, unusual shapes, and exquisite textures that characterize crocheted art today. Perhaps most importantly, each artist approaches crochet with wonder and the desire to explore its full potential.

Albert Einstein in writings of a walk amongst such phenomenon recommended to see or experience symbol and metaphor to a future. My tutor of the manner to communicate occurred of formal Medical training. Lesson included direction to not open the otherwise card board box, and to speak in terms of mind filling images only. Interpretations occurs of semblance or likeness to reflections; so to comprehend the principles and form responses to the time/conditions to be comprehended.

They painted faces white in gypsum paint, and intended to defraud the entirety of rule to Zeus. Dionysus was turned from boy to girl; while the girl was mutilated, and had to be resurrected from a wooden doll. The myth is compared to simple or elemental comprehension; such as to hear or claim to understand of the winds or words. It is then the product of response to some grape. The condition to speak in reflective manner of identifying self or intent then monitors the rise of angelic responses, and shows abstraction to elicit angels.

The Benefits and uses of a Photo Album for a Baby Girl Save All of the Memories. When a girl reaches her teenage years, many parents wish they could return to simpler times. As hard as raising a teenage girl can be, however, it is nothing compared to taking care of a baby. Remind yourself of this fact with a baby album. Don't just keep the cute moments, like that first crawl, but keep pictures of all the little burps and spit ups and midnight cries, too. Every time she screams and slams the door, or cries herself to sleep over that boy you warned her about, you can look at the album of your daughter when she was little, and remind yourself that at least she can use the bathroom on her own.

Comparison and Contrast of Images is photo essay. It is set to 15 Chapters and is assembled to dozen and dozen of art and photograph. Many have been reformat to the use of Photoshop and Imageready; so to provide complex combinations in one page. Chapters include art series to consider the word defying quality of an image, and to assess the basis of images to be the proper manner to reflect of phenomenon of God. I have included comment of hypnosis theory, and to discuss an intent of healing from the art. Primary themes include to grow of such collections or to encounter deteriorations of the spirit. The book is set to redemption themes, and considers blessing, communion and baptism of the faith. The alternative consideration discover an actually not existing phenomenon; so to derive anger, attacks or attempt to slay the angels. Find art series of theme about ordeal to be found in idiosyncratic manner, and to be a parity/mirror at this to derive critical reasoning skills. The primarily dilemma is to understand a meaning of gate or provenances from the story of the Christian. You will find art and photo of the Church; although I am of opinion the text is better read of a common man experience. The attempt to slay something without known literal or actual desciption over 2,000 years will find photo essay to merely turn the pages. Such could to be read in terms to gain angelic skills, or to conclude anger in otherwise impossible attitude without words. I present art series of intelligence to be derived of images, and to offer cognitive or thought based ideals. A carrier of the mind is portrayed as a not permanent insight to religion. A theory to find a deity to be a reflection to have humanity to do so intentionally act will discover technology potrayed of advanced photo combination. You then get two attitudes; such as to dissociate one from the other. Redemption or deterioration are religion set to comparison/contrast of the images.

Analysis of Terrorism: Why is photo essay. It is composed more than 150 art and photo. The essay traces from my medical education and introduction to Saudi Princess onto years later to write theory of new forms of aircraft design. I have five years FBI undercover work, and three years ago was recruited to Afghanistan sniper duty; after contacted NSA HQ. Military Command preloaded targets and I was asked design language in reflection my opinion. I identified Saudi in quest to find me and to work new design laser and metal alloys UFO. Two years ago NSA had her assigned to return to the Persian Gulf, and given mission build intergalactic space port. I was transferred to counter terrorism duty, and toured variety of country; including direct contact primary terror suspects. Dr. Anna Korkis is younger sister Osama Bin Laden. She was raped more than 1,000 times by the USA; while hours to lead onto 9/11 to have her jaw beaten in at failure to be lady. The motive Osama Bin Laden is portrayed the essay to be acts of 'brotherly love'. I have served Presidential Commission, and to seriously have more than one report of person to claim to shoot and kill him. Contacts to Russian had offer of requirement revolution Persian Gulf nations; including Libya, Syria and Yemen, and those nation flags were to be turned over to me. Anna Korkis was to take Royal Arab name Queen Mousouiii, and at return to Persian Gulf Libya fell in revolution. The agreement by Gaddafi family to a new Libyan Government had variety emails here; so request Asylum, and humanitarian protections of new born granddaughter. Their flight from revolution and asylum nation of Oman are traced. I was contacted to seek blessing to reconstruct Iraq petroleum industry, and found extraordinary responses to themes of peace. I received IMF payment to work constructing Arab spring. The Libya themes are portrayed similar of Chicago slaying of girls, and are termed by FBI to lesbians in search to win a lottery ticket. The dilemma of those involved to fall victim of political assassination contrast Libya terror. The themes of the essay include counter terrorism duty; such as to lock down banking, scan airport travel and include direct police/FBI use of symbols. Nations sought to outlaw life style to blow up trains and rob banks. I have filed in my five years undercover work $5 billion cases. I have more than $100 million bank accounts and $150 million in legacy funds of person seeking to provide for the hungry and/or homeless. The entirety has been closed by banking to access. The essay portrays variety of terror incident; although I use crime is crime is a crime is a crime. The Saudi Queen was never permit to date, and named the eldest of Jewish families of Reuben. The slaying of Israeli at Olympics are portrayed victims to forbid to ever have an hamburger; so she was mutilated at not being a lady, or to ever eat out. She currently works to UFO designs, and has a mirror recovered by me in remote and closed Russia. She is seen symbol of an united Earth; so find metaphors of a Shangri - La Earth, and commerce was set up to Russia seen at G20 St. Petersburg. More than 100 such facility currently exist, and are valued greater than entire Earth. The essay has no provocation of violence; yet to find slaughter to claim life style of USA to be threatened of technology. The themes of lack of statement are found, and notes about the incredible poverty of those to carry out the crimes reviewed. Anna Korkis introduced herself to be Archangel Gabriel; whom Koran states to have dictated the work to the Prophet. Recommendations are made about a sealed and automatic playing tape; such as too many refusal finds. The individual is described to have sought marriage and demand of dowry noted. She was harmed to create 9/11. Transfer to Chief Engineer of the Xepher project is primary suggestion; so improve condition of Arab images, or find no comment likely about terrorism.
