Friends Seminary in Autumn with Halloween decorations. Stuyvesant Square, New York City.

$Friends Seminary in Autumn with Halloween decorations. Stuyvesant Square, New York City. I am still coping with my injured leg (it’s been almost a month now). The healing process is very slow and I had a few more x-rays taken last week to determine how my healing was going. Thankfully, the results were positive but I was told I am only half way through the healing process and that I need 8 weeks of physical therapy to get my range of motion back in my left leg. The actual injury ended up being a mild tibial plateau fracture which people are usually advised to keep off of for at least 6 weeks. However, it wasn’t caught on the initial x-rays and since my doctor thought it was a torn knee ligament, he advised me to walk around. He was in shock that I wasn’t in excruciating pain and that my leg bones are in place. We were both thankful that I seem to have great bones! However, it’s been hard to not be as active as I usually am. I have to budget my time each week since going out and walking around for even an hour is exhausting since my leg doesn’t move properly (due to scar tissue which is going to be worked out in physical therapy). I am just thankful that it didn’t end up being worse! Due to my current physical status, I have had a lot of time to go through last year’s photos that I took around autumn and Halloween. It’s always great to re-visit work periodically (and re-edit said work). This photo was taken around that time. It’s of one of my favorite older buildings in this area of Manhattan. The building is called the Friends Seminary and it has a really interesting history: “Friends Seminary, established by members of the Religious Society of Friends (members are known as Quakers), was founded in 1786 as Friends’ Institute through a $10,000 bequest of Robert Murray (merchant). Friends’ Institute was located on Pearl Street in Manhattan and strived to provide Quaker children with a “guarded education.” In 1826, the school was moved to a larger campus on Elizabeth Street. Tuition in that year was $10 or less per annum, except for the oldest students, whose families paid $20. The school again moved in 1860 to its current location and changed its name to Friends Seminary. In 1878, Friends Seminary was one of the earliest of schools to establish a Kindergarten. In 1925, it was the first private co-educational school to hire a full-time psychologist. Friends has long had a very strong reputation for being a diverse and philosophically open school, and traditionally has had Quakers as heads of school. In recent years the school has increased its endowment to the level of other New York City independent schools such as The Dalton School and The Brearley School and engaged in an ambitious and controversial renovation of its buildings. The school is one of New York City’s most sought-after private schools.” Source As someone who attended (and survived) New York City public schools for my pre-college education, I have always been fascinated by the various private schools in Manhattan. It’s a completely foreign world to me, one that I assume others find just as intriguing (for various reasons) judging by the success of shows like Gossip Girl. Growing up, I used to read stories about these types of schools (including boarding schools). They were my own version of fairy tales in some ways and buildings like this one were exactly how I pictured the various fictional private schools in my mind. —- View this photo larger and on black on my Google Plus page —- Buy “Autumn - Stuyvesant Square - New York City ” Posters and Prints here, View my store, email me, ask for help, or subscribe to the mailing list.$

Autumn in full swing. Central Park, New York City.

After nearly 6 weeks of dealing with a fairly intense leg injury, I was finally able to go out for the first time yesterday and walk around the way I normally do. I think I walked something like three miles in total! It felt incredible to not be limited in the way I was limited previously while dealing with the slow healing process. I ended up going to Central Park to soak in the remaining bits of autumn since autumn is so fleeting here in New York City.
I met up with a few other photographers from Google Plus later in the afternoon. Prior to meeting up with them I got to the park several hours earlier to go to my favorite sections of the park. I was still a little timid and apprehensive about doing a lot of walking even though I got the go-ahead from my doctor this past week to engage in my normal level of activity. Thankfully, I realized an hour into climbing around in piles of leaves (sometimes it’s fun to abandon the paved paths in Central Park especially when leaves are involved) that I was going to be just fine! The foliage was a bit past peak foliage but there were some genuinely magical landscapes.
It’s no secret that autumn is my favorite time of year. A while back I mentioned to people on Google Plus that I am saddened that autumn’s finest foliage only seems to grace us with its presence for a few weeks out of the year. Someone commented back to me that the short-lived nature of autumn is what makes it so special. Perhaps there is some truth to that notion. The fleeting transient nature of autumn does make it memorable.
There is a bittersweet quality to the action of capturing it in full splendor; giddy delight at experiencing something so magical mixed with sorrowful anxiety knowing that in a short time all of it will be only a preserved memory.

Amigos homens:

Te ensinam a jogar futebol. Pedem pra tu buscar cerveja pra ele. Jogam video game contigo. Pedem ajuda na hora da conquista. Vivem falando merdas e pagando micos. Dedicam um gol pra você. Te deixam de vela. Jogam água em você. Te abraçam forte, e dói. Vivem dizendo ”não é assim porra!” Te chamam de burra/lerda. Batem na tua cabeça. Fazem você rir toda hora. Chamam o cara que tu gosta de idiota. Mas principalmente, eles ficam sempre ao teu lado, te dão conselhos incríveis e te abraçam forte mesmo que tu fale “não é nada”, eles sabem que é algo.

O texto mais foda que já li!!

"Sabe essa garota que tá dançando lá na pista e você tá babando por ela, amigo? Minha ex namorada. Faz uns três meses que eu terminei com ela. Eu a traí todos os dias. E quando ela dizia que me amava eu ria. Sabe essas roupas coladas e esse cabelo pro lado que ela tá usando aí? Ela costumava usar uma camiseta rosa e um shorts, com o cabelo preso pra trás. Mas ela não conseguia ficar feia, eu só não... Sei porque nunca a disse isso. Ela era louca por mim. Me mandava mensagem de bom dia, depois me lembrava de amarrar os cadarços que eu sempre esquecia, colocava sempre na minha agenda os horários do meu dentista e sabe como eu retribuía? Vinha aqui zoar com meus amigos e ficar com umas que passassem de cabelo pro lado e roupa colada, assim, como ela tá hoje. Ela cuidava de mim todo fim da noite, mesmo que eu passasse o dia inteiro ignorando ela… Ela ainda ia lá, dizer que os anjos dela iam cuidar de mim. Era a garota mais grudenta, ciumenta, complicada e estranha que eu já tinha conhecido. Eu gostava mesmo era dessas aí, de ficar uma noite e me darem o telefone errado. Aí eu terminei com ela. Falei que ela era trouxa e burra por acreditar em mim. Dois dias depois, eu vi uma foto dela e chorei. Três dias depois, eu liguei pro celular dela e ela não atendeu. Quatro dias depois, eu fui na casa dela e ela disse que tava ocupada pra falar comigo. Cinco dias depois, eu não tive vontade de sair. No sexto, sétimo e no resto dos meses eu sentia falta dela todos os dias. Até que me puxaram pra uma balada, a mesma que eu ia pra ficar com essas meninas que não querem saber de mais nada a não ser delas mesmas e a encontrei aqui. Linda. Os olhos delas brilhavam. Eu fui falar com ela e ela ficou comigo. Achei que, dessa vez, eu podia tê-la nas mãos de novo, mas dessa vez, pra valorizá-la. Pedi seu número do celular novo e ela me deu. Liguei no dia seguinte e a moça da padaria atendeu: Número errado. Chorei. De saudade. Arrependimento. Receio. E de saber que a garota que eu ria, se tornou na garota que ria de mim. Pior, a garota que era minha, agora tinha um tanto de caras querendo ser dela e ela querendo aproveitar o tempo que perdeu. Eu fiz a garota dos meus sonhos ser o sonho de todos os garotos por aí. Eu a perdi. E sabe o que ela me falou no começo da festa? Que ela não era trouxa e nem burra de acreditar no amor que eu dizia sentir por ela. E sabe o que dói? Vê-lá dançando, rindo e não se preocupou em nenhum momento em olhar pra cá, me ver babando por ela e chorando por nunca ter percebido o quanto ela era importante pra mim, antes.Por isso valorize a quem te ama e jamais brinque com os sentimentos de uma mulher!"

One molecule car drives on electron fuel

Utopian visions of the nanotechnology revolution suggest that one day we’ll be able to put tiny machines inside our body to perform routine screening and maintenance. But we’re a long way off from that future, as most of the nanoscale “machinery” we’ve created requires extensive intervention or carefully prepared conditions in order to do anything. But a report in today’s Nature describes an impressive feat of molecule-scale engineering: a four-wheel drive “car” that can run across any conductive surface, powered by electrons.

The whole thing is a single molecule. Its core is formed by two hubs that have a five-ringed structure at their core. The hubs are connected by a rigid rod formed from carbon atoms, held together by triple bonds. Each hub is flanked by two “wheels,” each consisting of a three-ringed structure. The bulk of the molecule is a carbon backbone, with a small number of nitrogen and sulfur molecules thrown in.

The key to the system is the bond between the wheel and its hub, which is a double bond formed between two carbon atoms. Electrons can cause this double bond to rotate, which places part of the wheel in close proximity to a bulky side-molecule attached to the hub. This bulky piece acts a bit like a ratchet; the wheel requires some vibrational energy to get past it. Once it does, it’s positioned so that another dose of electrons can cause it to rotate again.
