Flat nose in China. Chengdu Secondhand Crafts Bazaar →. November 29, 2007 · 2:57 pm. Jane Goodall in Chengdu, plus: thoughts on sustainability messaging in China. The moral of the story is clear. If Old Man, despite horrible mistreatment by humans for many years, had the capacity to forgive and act to save the life of a man, shouldn’t we, with our supposedly superior capacity for empathy, be able to do the same for other animals, and the environment at large? This feeling grew stronger during the Questio...

The Space Between Us. Maandag 17 maart 2008. China, voor Chinezen. Reeds menig maal is ons ter ore gekomen dat de wekelijks uitgezonden documentaire China voor Beginners erg aanslaat/aansloeg bij het grote publiek. Goed zo, grote publiek! Laat ons echter, zonder daarbij met opzet China’s kwaliteiten te ondermijnen, documentairegewijs enkele mythes ontkrachten:. In het slechtste geval. Sunzi’s “De kunst der oorlogsvoering”. Uittreksels: “Hoe de vijand verpletteren met 1 rake fluim” “Stra...Discipel: ̶...

The Space Between Us. Zondag 13 juli 2008. Onze buren hier op Gulangyu zijn goede vrienden geworden! Ding en zijn vrouw wonen samen met oma en Dingding, ons kleine ongelooflijk schattige broertje. We krijgen regelmatig Chinese specialiteiten te proeven die oma klaarmaakt en ook Dingding eet graag puree en strooit wel eens kruiden van. Op zijn worteltjes. We gaan ze echt missen binnenkort. Onderstaande fotootjes kreeg ik doorgestuurd van m'n lieve Koreaanse vriendin Liziyin. Geplaatst door Sid and Sophie.

Just a little blonde girl. Monday, March 9, 2009. The most recent and most drastic change that has occurred during my time in Japan is moving house. In the beginning of this year, I was finally forced to face the impending equivalent of a $100 rent increase. At my (sob) old guest house, the usual policy is to give new residents a 12-month rent discount. After 12 months, their rent goes "back to the original price.". Here's a sample of the artwork that covered the walls of Big World 21. Ok, so the social ...

Metro Environmental Blog: August 2008

Wednesday, August 27, 2008. Lee sent this along to me, and I thought I'd share. It's famed evolutionary ecologist Richard Dawkins reading the hate mail he gets from Creationists. This clip's audio straddles the line between Safe for Work and Not Safe for Work, so I'd turn the speakers down a bit before viewing. It blows my mind that people could not realize evolution to be the truth. If the Catholic Church can reconcile evolution with faith why can't these people? Links to this post. How to Get There.

Metro Environmental Blog: Why So Hot, So Soon?
http://nyenviro.blogspot.com/2010/04/why-so-hot-so-soon.html
Thursday, April 8, 2010. Why So Hot, So Soon? Newark and Hartford have exceeded 90 and unofficial reports from Orange County suggested temperatures of 94! But why and how? Well it has to do with trees, or in this case a lack there of. Trees do two things that tend to reduce surface temperatures, first they reflect radiation and shade the surface and secondly they are a driver in evapo-transpiration. Let me explain. Another interesting effect to note on the above temperature map is the influence of the co...

Tuesday, September 30, 2008. A link between dust and hurricanes? At right, Hurricane Floyd in the late summer of 1999 before it made its northward turn up the eastern seaboard of the United States. Image from NCDC. At right, dust blows off the Sahara Desert over Western Africa on it’s way across the Atlantic. The presence of dust can be seen as a gentle haze over much of the left 1/3 of the picture. The image was taken by MODIS satellite June 6, 2008. Links to this post. Monday, September 29, 2008.

The Space Between Us. Zondag 30 december 2007. Fijn om terug te zijn! Vandaag wil ik even een boom opzetten over een hip, o. Pkomend fenomeen waarmee we onlangs in aanraking. Niet zo lang geleden begaven wij ons naar de steeds populairder. N een onaantrekkelijk en weinig centraal gelegen deel van Beijing – is mettertijd uitgegroeid tot een bruisend stukje Beijing, een enclave van inheemse en buitenlandse creatievelingen, een soort concessiewijk van de kunsten te midden van de betonn.
