i hope i've understand well
If you need to connect wireless your Android device with Arduino, the Mega ADK is not your board.
I mean: the Mega ADK works with an Android device directly connected using USB cable.
You can instead use (almost) any Arduino board, plus a Bluetooth module.
You can find BT module for about 5 usd, and you can connect this with Arduino using a serial (of better, sofwtareserial) connection.
This module is class 2, that means max 10 meters of range.
Class 1 is more expensive, but works in a range of 100 meters.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Uses
For Android programming, you can use also AppInventor:http://appinventor.mit.edu/
that is a cloud & block programming platform (oss).

Thousands of pro-life demonstrators converged Friday on Capitol Hill for the annual March for Life, charging that women’s right for safe and legal abortions shouldn’t come at the expense of the unborn.
On the 44th anniversary of the landmark Roe V. Wade case, the marchers expressed new hopes that the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion could finally be overturned with newly elected President Trump’s imminent appointment to fill a vacancy on the high court.
Vice President Mike Pence, speaking during a pre-march rally near the Washington Monument, said that after four decades of living under Roe vs. Wade, the words of the Declaration of Independence could soon be true for the unborn.
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness … Today, life is winning again in America,” Pence said.
But during the march, some women held signs stating, “I Had An Abortion and I Regret It,” and this struck at the heart of the pro-choice advocates who stood in front of the Supreme Court building as the marchers passed by.
Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, issued a statement in conjunction with the anniversary of the decision:
“Forty-four years ago today, the United States Supreme Court affirmed that the right to abortion is protected by the constitution and ushered in a new era of safety and freedom for women in our reproductive health care. As this new president takes office, arm in arm with a Congress overwhelmingly dedicated to stripping women of our federal rights, our future is more tenuous than it has been since that day forty four years ago.”
The marchers were mostly youthful, white and Catholic. A sprinkling of African-Americans and immigrants took part in the event and a few slowed down long enough to talk about why they participated in the event.
The Rev Ralph J. Chittiams Sr., associate pastor of Forestville New Redeemer Baptist Church in Forestville, Md., said that he attended the event not as a church representative, but because “babies’ lives matter, abortion is a sin and scourge on the earth and … all lives matter.”
Orlando Clark, 82, a member of the Ark of Safety Christian Center, decided to stand in front of the Supreme Court building instead of walking 16 blocks along the march’s route from the monument grounds to Capitol Hill.
“I am very concerned about the significance of abortion. You are taking away a human life,” Clark said.
The crowd was overwhelmingly Catholic, with a large portion coming from the University of Notre Dame as part of a bus caravan from South Bend, Indiana. It was clear that Pence, the state’s former governor and longtime anti-abortion activist, had mobilized his base.
While there was some overlap with last week’s inauguration crowd — a few pro-Trump signs and red hats were visible — many of the Trump supporters in attendance Friday have been coming to the March For Life for years.
Sister Damian, a native of Nigeria and member of a Catholic order of nuns from Elizabeth, New Jersey, had her own reasons for participating.
“I want to support what I believe in: To give life,” Damian said. “Life is sacred and I want to give testimony to what I believe in.”

10 essential foods for male health
A varied, balanced diet is the cornerstone of healthy living for everyone, yet healthy eating can sometimes mean different things depending on your gender. While there are some foods we should all be eating more of, men and women also have their own set of dietary requirements as well as their own unique health concerns. Here are ten foods all men should eat.
Tomatoes are possibly one of the best “superfoods” around, and the popular fruit has particular benefits for men. Studies have suggested that the lycopene found in tomatoes may reduce risk of colorectal cancer, lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease; the leading cause of death in men. Research has also shown that men who frequently eat foods rich in lycopene may drastically reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer.
Blueberries are another fruit that have been linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer, thanks to their high levels of proanthocyanidins. However, blueberries’ positive benefits for men don’t stop there, as studies have also suggested that blueberries may be effective in reducing risk of heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes and age-related memory loss; a condition more prevalent in men than women.
Snacking on nuts is great for heart health and good skin. However, Brazil nuts are particularly beneficial for men as they are packed with selenium; a powerful antioxidant which studies have suggested can boost sperm health and motility. Furthermore, selenium is also great for lowering “bad” cholesterol levels, preventing blood clots and lifting your mood.
Broccoli – along with other cruciferous vegetables like cabbage and sprouts – contains a strong cancer-fighting chemical, sulphoraphane, which research has suggested may reduce men’s risk of developing bladder cancer (a cancer more commonly affecting women than men), prostate cancer and colorectal cancer.
Oysters are the highest natural source of zinc; an essential requirement for men’s fertility and sexual health. Zinc not only helps to maintain healthy testosterone levels in men, but it is essential for healthy sperm production. On top of this, zinc deficiency may be responsible for hair loss in men, so an increased intake may benefit men’s appearance as well as health.
Whole grains are great for our health thanks to their high levels of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Most whole grains, including brown rice and oats, are particularly rich in B vitamins, which are good for general wellbeing and can also help alleviate depression. Individual B vitamins can also benefit male health in various ways. Studies have suggested that folate (vitamin B9) can keep sperm healthy, while biotin (B7) may help hair loss. Silica, also present in whole grains, could also help with healthy hair growth.
For men suffering from hair loss, eggs may also provide the perfect solution. Eggs are an excellent source of protein, which is essential for hair growth, as well as being rich in biotin (vitamin B7). Egg yolks are also a good source of iron, which some studies have suggested can alleviate hair loss, which can be caused by anaemia.
Pomegranates are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and research has suggested that drinking the juice of this “superfood” can help lower cholesterol – which can be high in many men as young as their 20s – and prevent hypertension. A study has also found that drinking just one 8oz glass of pomegranate juice a day could dramatically slow down the progress of prostate cancer.
Garlic is well known for boosting heart health, and a study on the effects of garlic consumption on males has shown that regularly eating garlic could help lower men’s cholesterol levels. Furthermore, research findings published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute have suggested that regularly eating garlic and onions could help lower men’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
Salmon is not only a great source of protein, but it is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can help address many of men’s most common health complaints. Omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to lowered levels of “bad” cholesterol and can also reduce risk of many illnesses, including heart disease, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and depression.

Or, fast grooves in the key of P--as in party. Kurtis Blow's selection of early funk and disco classics begins with James Brown's Sex Machine-era revamp of "Give It Up or Turnit a Loose" and keeps moving with both the sublime (the Isley Brothers' near-rock "Get into Something," Baby Huey's "Listen to Me") and the irresistibly cheesy (Rhythm Heritage's "Theme from S.W.A.T."--who knew?) before ending with the first rap record, 1979's "King Tim III (Personality Jock)" by Fatback. Learning is fun: dig it. --Rickey Wright
R. Riis | NY | 07/18/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"These are all great funk jams in their original 6-8+ minute versions and with great sound quality. Not just for rap historians but for anyone who wants to give up the funk. Excellent liner notes by Kurtis Blow, too, who puts all these tracks in their historical context."
Obscure funk to get you going
Andre M. | Mt. Pleasant, SC United States | 06/30/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Most of these tunes were funky party favorites on the east coast during the 70s, few of these made the national R&B charts during this era since Disco was ruling the roost. But even today on the East Coast, it's not unusual to hear tunes like "Dance to the Drummer's Beat" by Herman Kelly and Life and the one that started it all, "King Tim III" by the Fatback Band."
Get your day started right!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is the ultimate CD to play when you get up in the morning. By the time the second song is over, you'll be in full ignition mode.The title's a little misleading. There's only one real rap song on here: the last track, King Tim's rap with Fatback. The rest is uptempo funk from the late sixties and early seventies. AND IT KILLS.From the first crash of James Brown's "Give It Up..", on through the sampled-a-million-times "Scorpio" and "Apache", this album is perfect if you like fast, heavy funk. Especially good: "Listen to Me" by Baby Huey and "Love the Life You Live" by Black Heat. Oh, and the S.W.A.T. theme's on here too.If you're a fan of loud, obnoxious funk music, get this. Now."

Titanic Weather Forecasting
New Detailed VLT Images of Saturn's Largest Moon.
1 avril 2004
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn was discovered by Dutch astronomer Christian Huygens in 1655 and certainly deserves its name. With a diameter of no less than 5,150 km, it is larger than Mercury and twice as large as Pluto. It is unique in having a hazy atmosphere of nitrogen, methane and oily hydrocarbons. Although it was explored in some detail by the NASA Voyager missions, many aspects of the atmosphere and surface still remain unknown. Thus, the existence of seasonal or diurnal phenomena, the presence of clouds, the surface composition and topography are still under debate. There have even been speculations that some kind of primitive life (now possibly extinct) may be found on Titan.
Optimizing space missions
Titan is the main target of the NASA/ESA Cassini/Huygens mission, launched in 1997 and scheduled to arrive at Saturn on July 1, 2004. The ESA Huygens probe is designed to enter the atmosphere of Titan, and to descend by parachute to the surface.
Ground-based observations are essential to optimize the return of this space mission, because they will complement the information gained from space and add confidence to the interpretation of the data. Hence, the advent of the adaptive optics system NAOS-CONICA (NACO)  in combination with ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile now offers a unique opportunity to study the resolved disc of Titan with high sensitivity and increased spatial resolution.
Adaptive Optics (AO) systems work by means of a computer-controlled deformable mirror that counteracts the image distortion induced by atmospheric turbulence. It is based on real-time optical corrections computed from image data obtained by a special camera at very high speed, many hundreds of times each second.
The southern smile
A team of French astronomers  have recently used the NACO state-of-the-art adaptive optics system on the fourth 8.2-m VLT unit telescope, Yepun, to map the surface of Titan by means of near-infrared images and to search for changes in the dense atmosphere.
These extraordinary images have a nominal resolution of 1/30th arcsec and show details of the order of 200 km on the surface of Titan. To provide the best possible views, the raw data from the instrument were subjected to deconvolution (image sharpening).
Images of Titan were obtained through 9 narrow-band filters, sampling near-infrared wavelengths with large variations in methane opacity. This permits sounding of different altitudes ranging from the stratosphere to the surface.
Titan harbours at 1.24 and 2.12 μm a "southern smile", that is a north-south asymmetry, while the opposite situation is observed with filters probing higher altitudes, such as 1.64, 1.75 and 2.17 μm.
A high-contrast bright feature is observed at the South Pole and is apparently caused by a phenomenon in the atmosphere, at an altitude below 140 km or so. This feature was found to change its location on the images from one side of the south polar axis to the other during the week of observations.
An additional series of NACO observations of Titan is foreseen later this month (April 2004). These will be a great asset in helping optimize the return of the Cassini/Huygens mission. Several of the instruments aboard the spacecraft depend on such ground-based data to better infer the properties of Titan's surface and lower atmosphere.
Although the astronomers have yet to model and interpret the physical and geophysical phenomena now observed and to produce a full cartography of the surface, this first analysis provides a clear demonstration of the marvellous capabilities of the NACO imaging system. More examples of the exciting science possible with this facility will be found in a series of five papers published today in the European research journal Astronomy & Astrophysics (Vol. 417 / No 1 (April I 2004), L1 to L24).
 NACO is an abbreviation of NAOS/CONICA. The NAOS adaptive optics corrector was built, under an ESO contract, by Office National d'Etudes et de Recherches Aérospatiales (ONERA), Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Grenoble (LAOG) and the LESIA and GEPI laboratories of the Observatoire de Paris in France, in collaboration with ESO. The CONICA infra-red camera was built, under an ESO contract, by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie (MPIA) (Heidelberg) and the Max-Planck Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) (Garching) in Germany, in collaboration with ESO.
 The team is composed of Eric Gendron, Athéna Coustenis, Pierre Drossart, Michel Combes, Mathieu Hirtzig, François Lacombe, Daniel Rouan, Claude Collin, and Sylvain Pau (LESIA, Observatoire de Paris, CNRS, France), Anne-Marie Lagrange, David Mouillet, Patrick Rabou (Laboratoire d'Astrophysique, Observatoire de Grenoble, France), Thierry Fusco (ONERA) and Gérard Zins (ESO).
The results presented here are based on an article published in Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A 417, L21-24, 2004): "VLT/NACO adaptive optics imaging of Titan" by E. Gendron et al.

The hugely anticipated new Penn Cage novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Natchez Burningtrilogy and Cemetery Road, about a man—and a town—rocked by anarchy and tragedy, but unbowed in the fight to save those they love
Fifteen years after the events of the Natchez Burning trilogy, Penn Cage is alone. Nearly all his loved ones are dead, his old allies gone, and he carries a mortal secret that separates him from the world. But Penn’s exile comes to an end when a brawl at a Mississippi rap festival triggers a bloody mass shooting—one that nearly takes the life of his daughter Annie.
As the stunned cities of Natchez and Bienville reel, antebellum plantation homes continue to burn and the deadly attacks are claimed by a Black radical group as historic acts of justice. Panic sweeps through the tourist communities, driving them inexorably toward a race war.
But what might have been only a regional sideshow of the 2024 Presidential election explodes into national prominence, thanks to the stunning ascent of Robert E. Lee White, a Southern war hero who seizes the public imagination as a third-party candidate. Dubbed “the Tik-Tok Man,” and funded by an eccentric Mississippi billionaire, Bobby White rides the glory of his Special Forces record to an unprecedented run at the White House—one unseen since the campaign of H. Ross Perot.
To triumph over the national party machines, Bobby evolves a plan of unimaginable daring. One fateful autumn weekend, with White set to declare his candidacy in all fifty states, the forces polarizing America line up against one another: Black vs. white, states vs. the federal government, democracy vs. Fascism. Teaming with his fearless daughter (now a civil rights lawyer) and a former Black Panther who spent most of his life in Parchman Prison, Penn tears into Bobby White’s pursuit of the Presidency and ultimately risks a second Civil War to try to expose its motivation to the world, before the America of our Constitution slides into the abyss.
In Southern Man, Greg Iles returns to the riveting style and historic depth that made the Natchez Burning trilogy a searing masterpiece and hurls the narrative fifteen years forward into our current moment—where America itself teeters on the brink of anarchy.
Greg Iles has spent most of his life in Natchez, Mississippi. His first novel, Spandau Phoenix, was the first of many New York Times bestsellers. His Natchez Burningtrilogy continued the story of Penn Cage, the protagonist of The Quiet Game, Turning Angel, and #1 New York Times bestseller The Devil’s Punchbowl. Iles’s novels have been made into films and published in more than thirty-five countries. He is a member of the lit-rock group The Rock Bottom Remainders, lives in Natchez with his wife, and his three children.
"This is a genuinely terrifying book because of its plausibility—Iles perfectly captures the tinderbox that America is in the post-Trump era. . . .This is a perfectly done political thriller with genuine resonance. Astonishing." — Kirkus (starred review) on Southern Man
"This astonishingly good novel is very much a product of its time, a story of violence and racial unrest in the aftermath of the Trump presidency. . . Politically charged and written in rich, visually evocative prose, this is Iles at his reader-thrilling best." — Booklist (starred review) on Southern Man
“An ambitious stand-alone thriller that is both an absorbing crime story and an in-depth exploration of grief, betrayal and corruption… Iles’s latest calls to mind the late, great Southern novelist Pat Conroy. Like Conroy, Iles writes with passion, intensity and absolute commitment.” — Washington Post on Cemetery Road
“Pure reading pleasure. This guy knows the deep south as well or better than any other novelist.” — Stephen King on Cemetery Road
“Iles… has made Mississippi his own in the same way that James Lee Burke has claimed Cajun country and Michael Connelly has remapped contemporary Los Angeles… They will be talking about this one for a quite a while.” — Booklist (starred review) on Cemetery Road
“A sweeping tale of family dysfunction [and] sexually charged secrets.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Cemetery Road
“It is impossible to turn away. It’s like binge-watching your favorite TV drama, and you don’t dare take your eyes off the screen for fear of missing out on another revelation. Cemetery Road is full of them.” — Bookreporter.com
“Imagine William Faulkner and Stieg Larsson had a love child. Natchez Burning combines the pace of Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo with a Faulkneresque, bone-deep knowledge of Mississippi in all its beauty and racial torment.” — AARP Magazine
“Every single page of Natchez Burning is a cliffhanger that will keep you devouring just one more chapter before you put it down to eat, work, or go to bed.... This ambitious, unique novel is the perfect marriage of a history lesson and a thriller.” — Jodi Picoult
“Iles carries it off with style, intelligence and passion...The Bone Tree is filled with menace, betrayal, [and] unexpected plot twists. . . [and] is a very American epic-in-progress that leaves us waiting, none too patiently, for whatever revelations are still to come.” — Washington Post
“Extraordinary. . . . ‘Great Expectations’ transplanted to an American South laced with comparably gothic overtones. . . . The Bone Tree establishes Iles as this generation’s William Faulkner.” — Providence Journal
“Absolutely compelling.… A beautifully constructed story [and] some extremely fine writing.” — Booklist(starred review) on The Bone Tree

摘要: This paper treats the design and analysis of an energy absorbing system. Experimental tests were conducted on a prototype, and these tests were used to validate a finite element model of the system. The model was then used to analyze the response of the system under dynamic impact loading. The response was compared with that of a similar system consisting of straight circular tubes, empty and foam-filled conical tubes. Three types of such supplementary devices were included in the energy absorbing system to examine the crush behavior and energy absorption capacity when subjected to axial and oblique impact loadings. The findings were used to develop design guidelines and recommendations for the implementation of tapered tubes in energy absorbing systems. To this end, the system was conceptual in form such that it could be adopted for a variety of applications. Nevertheless, for convenience, the approach in this study is to treat the system as a demonstrator car bumper system used to absorb impact energy during minor frontal collisions.
摘要: Mono layer graphene (MLG) as a new kind of advanced material is in our focus. MLG indicates a twodimensional structure with quantum confinement effect in its thickness. The MLG based nanomaterial has remarkable potential on electrochemical catalysis and bio-sensing applications. Recently inter sheet sensing systems for graphene sensor have been reported which will be used in our model as well. We provide a new idea of electrochemical sensors based on the graphene application. In this paper carrier the concentration on the sensor as a function of gas concentration is reported. A field effect transistor (FET) base structure as a modeling platform is proposed. Gate voltage representing the gas concentration on the sensor, or in other words the gate voltage as a function of gas concentration can be employed. Finally the proposed model is used in simulation studies and evaluated by experimental result.
摘要: The paper presents the numerical procedure for modelling the behaviour of steel structures at high temperatures using a newly developed implicit creep model. This implicit creep model uses the calculated creep strains to modify the material stress-strain curves, thus implicitly taking into account the effect of the developed creep strain. The newly calculated stress-strain curves are modified by stretching the initial temperature-dependent stress-strain curves using the calculated values of the creep strain which depend on the level of temperature and stress that the section of structure is being exposed to during fire. The implicit numerical procedure has been implemented in a previously developed numerical model for predicting the behaviour of structures under fire. In order to test the validity of the newly developed implicit creep model, an in-house fire experiment was performed. Results of the experiment have shown a good agreement with the model predictions indicating the validity of the developed implicit numerical procedure.
摘要: The evaluation of stability of secondary phases in superalloys is of great importance because of its application under high homologue temperatures. The precipitation hardening Inconel 718 superalloy has high stress rupture and creep resistance, good LCF behavior and high corrosion resistance. Those properties can be obtained due to the high stable matrix based on Ni, Fe and Cr, as well as secondary phases promoters elements such as Ti, Al and Nb. This study aims to analyze the phase stability among a range of temperature from 500°C to approximately 1400°C. The thermodynamic modeling has a high importance to predict the behavior of alloys among equilibrium transition. The microstructure of the system was evaluated using Thermo-Calc software and the selected databases: SSOL4 and TTNI6. This analysis made possible the prediction of the phases presented, compositions and amounts. Results from SEM analysis were used to compare the results obtained, showing good coherence between them.
摘要: A composite containing A356 Al alloy as matrix and ZrB2 particles was made in an induction furnace by mixing Al-15Zr and Al-8B master alloys with Zr:B weight ratio of 9:2. The microstructures and tensile properties of the extruded composite were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis before and after T6 heat treatment. XRD results showed the presence of ZrB2 phase in the microstructure. Tensile test results showed an increase in ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation values of the extruded composite in comparison with the matrix alloy. Further investigation showed an increase in UTS, but reduction in elongation values of the composite after T6 heat treatment.
摘要: onic Liquids (ILs) provide an alternative green solvent for separating aromatic from its mixture with aliphatic hydrocarbon. The present work demonstrates the screening of potential IL for separation of benzene (aromatic) from n-hexane (aliphatic) using COSMO-RS. A total of 10 imidazolium based cations and 52 different anions resulting in 520 possible combinations of ILs were studied. The COSMO-RS was used to theoretically calculate the activity coefficient at infinite dilution (γ) for benzene and n-hexane in each of the ILs. Consequently, from the activity coefficient (γ) value, the capacity (C) and selectivity (S) at infinite dilution for each ILs with regards to the benzene/n-heptane separation were calculated. The Performance Index (PI) which is the product of the capacity (C) and selectivity (S) is then determined and compared against sulfolane as the benchmarking solvent, used widely by industry for the separation of benzene and aliphatic hydrocarbon. The result showed 20 ILs with C, S, and PI value higher than sulfolane thus making them as potential candidate for the separation application.
摘要: This study was conducted to determine if austempered 4340 steel had different mechanical properties compared to step quenched 4340 steel. Tensile strength and impact energy was determined at room temperature under identical test conditions. The specimens were cut from a bar with 25 mm diameter and austenitized at 800°C for 60 min and followed by quenching at 430°C for the high austempering temperature to achieve the upper bainite morphology and at 360°C for the lower austempering temperature to achieve the lower bainite morphology. In the case of step quenched, the specimens were first austempered at 430°C and then austempered at 360°C to achieve the mixed structure of upper bainite and lower bainite morphology. The another set of specimens for step quenching, after austenitization were quenched to below Ms (martensite start temperature), followed by heating at 400°C to achieve the mixed structure of tempered martensite and lower bainite and 500°C to achieve the mixed structure of tempered martensite and upper bainite. It is also shown that the best combination of strength and ductility can be achieved by the mixed structure of tempered martensite and lower bainite that has been suggested in this investigation.
摘要: To date, efforts forwarding to develop thermal spray coatings technology have been focused on increasing the durability and integrity of the coating. Improvement of mechanical characteristics such as wear resistance of the deposit, minimizing residual stress levels and reducing porosity are the main objectives of these works. The specific aim of this paper is to determine the wear resistance of molybdenum coating thermally sprayed on a steel substrate. This behavior has been determined using a simple ball-on-plate tribometer. Attention was given on the influence of a post-annealing at 850°C for one hour in vacuum and oil lubrication conditions.
摘要: A new developed formula named the Habashi-Zul formula, based on the Maxwell-Garnett (MG) formula was fabricated and used to calculate the complex permittivity of the Sm-YIG in PVDF composite samples in the frequency range of 10 MHz to 1 GHz. The calculated permittivities results were compared with the measured values of each sample of Sm-YIG in PVDF composite samples and, with calculated results from various theoretical models including the MG, Looyenga, Bruggeman and, Sen Scala and Cohen. The Habashi-Zule formula presented higher accuracy as compared to other models.

When the time of women came, the flight forward was permanent. They swirled around him and he grabbed them shamelessly. Florin Ștefan then began to pile all these narcissistic memories in a red cardboard box (which he says he did not choose, but rather the opposite). There are photographs of women, many other moments of intimate life. Of those who have gone through his life, his memory; of women who remained out of his life, but in his mind. He devoted himself more to photography than to painting. These photos today arranged on each other in the famous box have a little yellowed.
He exhumed them gradually.
Florin Ștefan is an artist of today who paradoxically feeds his sensitivity and fascination for the beautiful in the modernism of the nineteenth century. He is indeed one of those creators who emerge in these periods of industrial and societal breakdowns. He takes digital technology to document his work as a voyeur and to reinterpret it in support of a safe and academic pictorial technique. Always armed with his iPhone 7 Plus, which has become an outgrowth of his hand, he steals other people's moments as a "neighbourly neighbour observer," as Ami Barak likes to define it.
The need to transform these digital recordings into painting is a process of analysis that is both intellectual and documented by art history, but also a ritual and primitive act, simple and direct.
In a country of Latin, Slavic, and Austro-Hungarian hybridity, Florin Ștefan is caught in the Russian taste, born in Maramureș, near Ukraine. Impressed by Russian academicism, he develops a narrative treatment, realistic and nostalgic. The Moldovan woman, that of the East of the country (popular Romanian archetype of the easy and devouring woman), is also one of her favourite female themes. Re-analysing these photos of women, moments or familiar spaces, detaching them from their reality to make it a fiction today, this is the challenge of his work. The many books on the seats and shelves of his studio testify, when turning the pages of these books, filiations of the work of Florin Ștefan. From Velasquez (and his Venus) to Felix Vallotton (and his buttocks).
Through his loyalty to these masters of love, Florin Ștefan manifests his devotion to Art.
About the gallery
Iconoscope, in the literal sense, is an image analyzer that translates optical images into electrical impulses. Image and language are ubiquitous in contemporary society. From this exponential multiplicity, linked to the modes of reproduction and diffusion, they gradually lose their credibility, their aura. The artists presented by Iconoscope question this form of visual representation to give it a meaning.
It becomes the vector of an artistic language, a conception of the world. These artists, Berdaguer & Péjus, Michel Blazy, Harald Fernagu, Jean-François Fourtou, Loriot & Méliat, Didier Trenet, Jean-luc Verna ... reorganize the real with their subjectivity and give back a major place to the individual. Surprisingly these approaches that claim the singularity lead by their spatialization a sense of closeness to the work presented.
The viewer is immersed in a universe that distances itself from reality, to better apprehend it. It's a pause, a good time to analyze the work and what it says about our relationship to the world, to the other. Humor is a dimension that is often found in their work, "like the exact meaning of the relativity of everything, the constant criticism of what one believes to be definitive" (Pawlowski).
About the artist
Florin Ștefan is a Romanian artist who lives and works in Cluj, the other artistic capital of Romania after Bucharest. This city has attracted attention in recent years by the emergence of what some call it "school of painting", like Leipzig.
Florin Ștefan's painting deals with interior and genre scenes as well as portraits, nudes and landscape. The female figures are very numerous in the work of Ștefan. Whether they are "sitting, leaning, sleeping, in front of a mirror, in the toilet or in bed, all reflect the instantaneous, the desire that is born or dulled, the attraction" as written by Ami Barak. These women become impertinent works thanks to their framing and the richness of the tones used. The look that Florin Ștefan puts on his surroundings, his subjects, does not lack character and he expresses it through colour, light, matter.
Florin Ștefan is also one of the first artists to have freed himself from the weight of his country's chaotic past. He has chosen a resolutely contemporary art, which does not exclude his doubts, his worries, and puts forward a fight between the artist and his painting.
Florin Ștefan was born in 1968 (Romania). He now lives and works in Cluj, Romania where he also runs an art centre.

In postcard racks in Dresden you’ll find black and white cards of the city absolutely flattened by carpet bombs and the ensuing firestorms of 1945. Buildings were left with hardly one stone on top of another; it is chilling what a single night of bombing did to shatter the once fairytale city of Dresden.
But now, as you look up from these bleak postcards, you see not a city defined by its ruins but one of Europe’s most elegant and imperial centres, risen from the ashes in solid Saxon sandstone with its unbroken spirit and polite manner. Once again the old centre is easily recognisable as in the cityscapes Canaletto painted in the late 1700s.
Virtually every building has been flawlessly restored in this compact 18th century city built by Augustus 1 of Saxony. He came to the throne in 1694 at the age of 24, loved beautiful things and encouraged the finest artists from other countries to come and help realise his vision for a profusion of castles, palaces, churches, Baroque houses and parks.
Set against gentle hills and vineyards sloping down to the lush banks of the River Elbe, Dresden was named the Florence of the North and everybody came to see it.
The Kings of Saxony built grand Renaissance palaces, Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Dvorak, Rachmaninoff made music there and Wagner conceived his Ring of the Nibelungen, Richard Strauss conducted in the city’s Semper Opera House. At the Zwinger one of the finest collections of Rembrandts and Rubens hang, while the great Expressionist artist Kirchner started his career in Dresden and Schiller wrote his Ode to Joy, best known as the final chorus of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and now the anthem of the European Union, in Dresden.
Although Dresden was formerly in East Germany, thankfully there are virtually no constructivist concrete slab buildings to be seen, just the oddity of a squat orange glass Communist-built arts centre in the middle of the main square. We popped in to have a quick glance and found international pianist Helen Huang playing Shostokovich with Kurt Masur conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden Orchestra, one of the world’s oldest and finest, all part of the music festival that takes place in May and June.
There is almost too much to see and do in Dresden. Sipping a glass of sekt with a plate of white spargel (asparagus) or having a long cool beer with frankfurters and chips in a brauhaus overlooking the Elbe is not an arduous way to pass time.
Of course, there are also the novelty places to visit like the Museum of Hygiene, Emil and the Detectives author Erich Kastner’s house, now a museum, and the glass production plant for limousines. You could take the old train ride through the park or hop one of the antique paddle steamers and go downstream to Meissen to see the porcelain factory or head upstream and sail past splendid castles before ending up in the bizarre rock landscape of ‘Saxon Switzerland’.
Dresden is not one of your average short break cities but it’s certainly one of the more unusual ones.
How to get there:
Lufthansa and German wings fly London/Dresden direct.
Trains from many European centres go there and the Simplon-Orient Express’ Venice-Krakow-Dresden-London route includes three nights in Dresden.

The CEO of the daily Le Dauphiné Libéré Christophe Tostain retired from his duties, after being summoned again by the courts for violence against a woman.
Christophe Tostain is summoned on November 4, 2021 before the Criminal Court of Grenoble, said his lawyer Jean-Félix Luciani.
It was his own diary that revealed the facts, which date back to February 14, Valentine’s Day.
CEO of the regional daily since 2013, Christophe Tostain was summoned to the police on Tuesday March 9, who took him into custody for “violence against his recurrent concubine”, said Grenoble prosecutor Eric Vaillant .
At the end of police custody, Olivier Tostain was left free without judicial control, said Me Luciani.
Sentenced in May 2019
Christophe Tostain “does not dispute the dispute but he radically contests the physical violence”, added Me Luciani, who says he is “very surprised at the” criminal qualification “of the facts with which he is accused.
Domestic violence implies, according to the lawyer, that “the complainant would be the wife or the concubine of my client”. “However, it is neither one, nor the other,” assures the lawyer.
Stating that he had “not yet had access to the file”, Mr Luciani thus considered that it would then be a “contravention” case and not a tort.
Christophe Tostain was sentenced in May 2019 to six months suspended prison sentence for “spousal violence” and “insult” against gendarmes. Facts that he had recognized during his trial, saying he was “extremely shameful”.
Philippe Carli is acting
According to Me Luciani, Christophe Tostain “himself wished to withdraw” from the management of Dauphiné Libéré.
The Ebra group, main shareholder of the regional daily, said in a press release published in the newspaper that, “in these circumstances and in the interest of the newspaper, Philippe Carli, president of the Ebra group and administrator, will ensure the continuity of the management of the newspaper. Dauphiné Libéré ”.

Composer Jacob Denny was born in Olympia, WA and currently resides in Texas. He recently received a BM in Music Composition and a minor in Philosophy from the University of North Texas where he studied composition under Joseph Klein, Panayiotis Kokoras, William Coble, and Joshua Harris. Jacob has written for full orchestra, string orchestra, chamber ensembles, choirs, solo instruments, and fixed media. His works have been read by the Concert Orchestra of the University of North Texas as well as the UNT Concert Choir. Jacob also has experience conducting the UNT Concert Orchestra. He has worked with a number of accomplished musicians on his own pieces and has performed with them as well, such as in the Grand Chorus with the Symphony Orchestra at the University of North Texas. Jacob also has written for films such as The Phoenix in 2015.
Jacob teaches classical piano performance, vocal performance, and music theory. He currently teaches at Alliance Music Academy to people of all ages and skill levels. As a performer, he frequents as a piano accompanist, vocalist, and conductor.
His compositions tend to emphasize form and gestures. He is interested in how form can shape the elocution of a piece; the delivery being almost completely contingent upon the form. Jacob is passionate about space and man’s inevitable emigration into it and it affects his works in many direct and indirect, literal and abstract ways. He is passionate and curious about life in general, and his works are always inspired and influenced by something new. His works, just like him, are constantly being shaped by new ideas and innovative approaches. He aspires to absorb as much information and as many experiences as possible, and he hopes his music will always reflect this sense of growth, variability, and passion.
Besides being a composer, Jacob is also an ardent traveler. He believes that some knowledge cannot be taught and that man must seek some information out for himself. Experiencing other cultures is vital to expanding one’s understanding of the world which directly affects one’s unique artistic voice. Jacob takes this intangible experience just as seriously as learning in a formal institution. After graduating in 2015, Jacob traveled to Japan and Thailand for two months with nothing but his bicycle and his backpack. Besides Japan and Thailand, Jacob has traveled to the Czech Republic, China, and Korea, and he has extensively traveled all over the United States.


Scottsdale fire officials confirm a 57-year-old man died in the first structure fire death since 2007.
The Scottsdale Fire Department said Gene Dennison was in his mobile home located in the 8300 block of East McKellips Road when the fire broke out Oct. 12.
The fire caused $54,000 in damage to the home.
Scottsdale Fire Marshal Jim Ford said Dennison did not have a working smoke alarm.
"We estimate that in Scottsdale alone, there could be as many as 52,000 at-risk homes because the smoke alarms are 10 years or older," Ford said.

Sunday evening on the riverwalk
Dubuque enjoyed perfect autumn weather on Sunday -- and it made for a great afternoon for a stroll on the city's riverwalk. And, after watching the Chicago Bears pull out a come-from-behind road victory over the Minnesota Vikings, Madame X and I went strolling.
We found that the Mississippi Queen was making one of its occasional stops in Dubuque. It's an impressive vessel. Just imagine what the city was like in the 19th century, when these boats plied the river and jammed Dubuque's shoreline.
Meanwhile, it appears that renovation work on the historic Dubuque Star Brewery building is progressing. At least most of those torn-up plastic sheets covering the windows are gone! The structure will be a jewel at the north end of the Port of Dubuque campus.
Tourists, such as those on the Mississippi Queen, pay good money to come to Dubuque and enjoy the beauty along the riverwalk. We get to enjoy it for free! Let's hope that there are several more pleasant days remaining this year for leisurely walks along the Mighty Mississippi!

The award-winning documentary examines fabricated evidence of espionage by Japanese Americans, which led to their forced removal and incarceration during World War II. Interviews illuminate the racism, xenophobia and backhanded political maneuvering that occurred. The film also examines the parallels to the current climate of fear, the targeting of other vulnerable immigrant and religious communities, and the role media has played in vilifying people of color.
The panel discussion will include Jon Osaki (director and producer); David Ono (Los Angeles-based news anchor); and Peggy Nagae (lead attorney for Min Yasui who challenged Executive Order 9066). PCC, the Japanese American Museum of Oregon, and the Portland Japanese American Citizens League are sponsoring this film screening.

|Viola Davis deftly portrays the role of Aibileen|
Some things snap you awake. They make you feel uneasy. Make you wonder if they are right. If they are good. But in the end, you appreciate them for that glimmer of truth they provide. And just by the fact of being there, of telling a story, they make people aware. They shake us awake to realities that have lain dormant in our minds. They remind them of a history that we sometimes forget. I feel this way about The Help. The book by Kathryn Stockett and the film, which I finally saw last night.
I devoured the book in less than a week. Reading at lunch and in the evenings. The characters became like old friends and I was sad to leave them at the end. I identified most with Skeeter of course - unruly hair, writer aspirations, not following the expectations of her society, sort of a tall, awkward girl who's not afraid to be a bull in the china closet. But my favorite character was Aibileen (Viola Davis nailed this role in the film - flawless - and Cicely Tyson as Constantine was so haunting and lovely that her scenes brought me to tears). Her quiet strength. Her acceptance of everybody. I would consider my feminine power fully developed if I could have her grace.
This book was written by a white woman. White women telling black women's stories. In the book, it was the only opportunity at that time to get the voice of the black maid heard - someone white had to connect with the all-white publishing industry. In the case of Stockett writing this book, well, she grew up with a black maid and knew it from that perspective. This book and film have generated a lot of discussion about this rarely touched upon aspect of history and that is a good thing. For us to remember and feel uncomfortable about the fact that a group of people were so horrible to another group of people. Any maybe that's what racism is: not white versus black, but a group of people who choose to demean and debase another "group" of people for ludicrous reasons. The truth is so easily distorted, and people take this fact and bend it to their will to gain power over others.
I have heard people say that we live in a post-racial society. I only wish. But sometimes I can't help but wonder if that we ever be possible. There's just too much pain, too much history. Here in DC, there is a great deal of poverty and most of the people I see living on the streets, that I see in the homeless shelter where I volunteer, are black. Most of the people on the cleaning staff at my work are black. Are these people here by choice? Or are they here as a residual effect of historical prejudice? Is this the fallout that has been perpetuating for generations? When will the cycle stop?
We've made such strides. First and foremost, electing a black president (and then demanding he present his birth certificate - an unprecedented act). DC will dedicate the long overdue Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, memorial in the coming weeks.
I am not even sure if I can justly comment on the topic of racism as a white woman. It makes me feel uncomfortable. But I think that is just about right. I should be uncomfortable because this is not a resolved issue by any means. But this book and film are getting us talking and making us aware, which is the first of many steps.

Monday Mailbag: Jack Rathbone’s big offseason, Tyler Myers’ bonus, and more Canucks questions
By Faber5 months ago
The Vancouver Canucks are all back in town and we are just a few days away from the Young Stars Classic in Penticton.
A new season looms after a long offseason, making us hungry to watch the blue and green get back on the ice. Canucks jerseys will be back in action beginning on Friday when the Canucks’ youngsters will battle with the Calgary Flames at 7:30 pm. Game two for the Canucks will be Sunday, as they battle with the Winnipeg Jets’ at 2:00 pm. They will wrap up the weekend with a 2:30 pm game against the Edmonton Oilers and then we are off to Canucks training camp in Victoria — which begins on Thursday, September 21st.
Some of the names we are excited to watch in Penticton include Vilmer Alriksson, Hunter Brzustewics, Kirill Kudryavtsev, Akito Hirose, Danila Klimovich, Josh Bloom and Cole McWard.
We are still uncertain of the exact roster but believe that it is coming either Monday or Tuesday.
Until then, we will patiently wait as hockey is so close, you can taste it!
One name we are wondering about is Aatu Räty. The 20-year-old centre was not at Canucks development camp this summer and Räty already has 15 NHL games under his belt. His age certainly puts him in the ‘Young Stars’ category but we are just not certain if he will be on the Young Stars roster just yet. We’d love to see him participate and potentially be Klimovich’s centre for the three games but we will have to wait for the roster release.
We’ve got another crop of great questions from the wonderful people of #CanucksTwitter. Let’s not waste any more words and instead, dive right into the mailbag and get rolling.
Here’s what some of the folks asked this week.
Last season saw Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko score 39 goals on the year. If I had to guess who has the best chance to score 50 next season, I’d easily be going with Pettersson.
Pettersson only had six power play goals last year while scoring 28 at even strength and five while shorthanded. It’s certainly possible that Pettersson can score 14+ on the power play while adding a few on the penalty kill and then getting 30+ at even-strength. It’s a long shot for sure but Pettersson would be my pick.
As for Quinn Hughes getting to 100 points — it’s also possible but very difficult for a defenceman to hit the century club. Hughes is not likely to be a 20+ goal scorer so you’re basically asking him to be an assist per game player to get to 100 points. It’s possible but both of these are very hopeful.
I’d be shocked to see one of them happen next year and would love to see the Canucks as the best team in the Western Conference if both happen.
I’m betting on Spencer Martin making a decent comeback and becoming a trusted backup next season so I’m going to guess that Silovs won’t play more than 10 NHL games next season.
Another year of evolving in the AHL is what I see coming for Arturs Silovs. He should be challenged a lot more and be given some back-to-backs on the weeks where Abbotsford doesn’t have any mid-week games and should see 50+ starts. That will help him in the long-term.
The problem is that Jack Rathbone doesn’t have a ton of value on the trade market so he likely doesn’t help move with one of the surplus wingers. From what we’ve heard, Rathbone has had a hell of an offseason and added a lot of muscle so that he can be more prepared to play a full season. He’s been taken off the ice on a stretcher in each of the last two years and those injuries certainly slowed him down in his development.
Now, he’s back at training camp with the strongest body he’s ever had and is in a battle for NHL ice time with Christian Wolanin, Matt Irwin, Akito Hirose and Guillaume Brisebois. It’s not an insurmountable task to ask Rathbone to beat out those four defencemen but we have to think that Wolanin is the clubhouse leader after being named defenceman of the year in the AHL for the 2022-23 season.
Rathbone is heading into the final year of his two-year deal that was signed by Patik Allvin on July 1st, 2022. It’s likely the last go with the Canucks for Rathbone if he can’t find success in the NHL this season. We will have to see how training camp and preseason shake down for him. I’d expect him to be a lot stronger defensively due to the added muscle from the offseason.
It’s not a fair race if you include curly fries because Arby’s and their loaded curly fries are three tiers up on any fry in the fast food game.
If you’re just going with simple straight-cut fries, I’m going with the classic at McDonald’s.
The two youngsters on the wings — Nils Höglander and Vasily Podkolzin. I’d throw Spencer Martin in there as well.
I’m high on Jett Woo this season and will guess 16 NHL games.
Only if the team has been using Tyler Myers in a bottom-pairing role all season and the club feels confident enough in their depth at right-shot defence with Noah Juulsen, Filip Johansson, and Jett Woo.
I don’t think they would end up doing it in the end.
There’s nothing as far down the road as the SFU rumours. There’s been a lot of chatter about it being the spot for the new practice rink.
It’s got to be Andrei Kuzmenko right? The smiles per hangout have to be through the roof with this guy.
There’s certainly a lot more flexibility after the bonus is paid out but the $6,000,000 cap hit is still a tough one to swallow. There’s a chance but ultimately, I doubt the Canucks actually trade Myers unless they are out of playoff spot at the trade deadline.
My prediction is 43 goals, so I’ll take the under. Give me those odds though and let me see.
It feels like less needs to bounce in the Canucks’ way for them to make the playoffs. They addressed their biggest weaknesses from last season so I’d say the Canucks can make the playoffs next season and maybe even push for a top-three spot in the Pacific Division.
Well, that wraps up another Monday Mailbag here at CanucksArmy. We’re off to Penticton on Thursday to get set up for the Young Stars tournament and we are stoked to cover the Canucks’ prospects all weekend long.
See you next week, where we will preview training camp with a big ol’ mailbag. Enjoy the final bits of the offseason/summer!

ITV has announced a new reality game show called Loaded In Paradise.
The broadcaster has said the action-packed series will see party-loving pairs island-hop across the Aegean Islands in Greece in a race to take control of and spend 50,000 euros.
The reality series will start with five pairs and a gold card topped up with money, but only one couple can be in control at any time, ITV has said.
The aim of the adrenaline-fuelled game is for the pairs to hunt down the card, which is injected with cash daily, and spend it on a wild trip.
Every 48 hours, a luxury safehouse dotted across the Aegean islands will open, where the pairs have to reconvene and viewers will see the drama unfold.
On the final leg of the chase, there will be a “big twist” as everyone chases the gold card one final time, ITV announced.
The 60-minute episodes will air on ITVX with plans for it to later land on ITV2.
Paul Mortimer, ITV’s Director of Reality & Acquisitions and Controller, said: “Loaded In Paradise brings a fun and fast-paced new format to our viewers which fits our ongoing strategy to drive new, young audiences in streaming.”
In addition, the broadcaster revealed ITV2’s Weekender franchise has been renewed for a 10-part series in Kavos, Greece.
Every episode follows two groups of young people enjoying a long weekend of partying alongside holiday reps who lead the trip.
ITV’s commissioning editor Satmohan Panesar, who commissioned both series, said: “Loaded In Paradise’s heady mix of chase, money and fun will make for an exhilarating new reality format.
“As for Weekender… we’ve missed the high jinks of our reps and holidaymakers – Kavos is the perfect destination to get back to the party.”
Dan Adamson, managing director of Twofour, added: “We are incredibly proud of the long-running Weekender series and excited we’ll be back partying in a new location as we move the brand forward.”


Dining tables were set with glowing candles while kindergarten through 8th grade students with the Tamaqua St. Jerome Regional School's Theatre Group entertained an audience during their first annual spring musical over the weekend in the gymnasium of the school.
A community dance immediately followed the performance, which was directed by the school's performing arts director Paul Mulhern. Mrs. Mary Ann Mansell, school principal, stated the school's appreciation to performing arts director Paul Mulhern for volunteering 2 days a week with the students. She also stressed her appreciation to all the staff, parents and volunteers who donated the food or helped in any way.

Early on during the pandemic shutdown I was invited in to several dozen Zoom calls with groups of youth workers and parents. While the invites asked me to speak about youth culture trends and kids during the pandemic, I worked to do as much listening as I possibly could. I listened to discover what my in-the-trenches peers. . . both youth workers and parents. . . were being forced to face. Issues that need to be addressed tend to be the things that rise to the surface with urgency during seasons of difficulty, and this has been the case over the last couple of months.
After taking careful written and mental notes, there have been three themes that have risen to the surface that I can state in the form of the questions both youth workers and parents have been asking.
- How can we foster the spiritual growth and nurture of kids during this time?
- What does teen anxiety look like during the pandemic, and how can we help our kids navigate their anxiety?
- What can we do to instill healthy screen time and technology habits in our kids?
Tomorrow, Thursday May 28 at 3:30pm eastern time, I’ll be hosting a round-table livestream conversation on both YouTube and Facebook with three individuals who have studied these issues and who have written books for students that are part of the brand new Track series of books for students. This new series is designed to disciple the next generation in the areas of culture, doctrine, and the Christian life.
- Dr. Ligon Duncan, the President of Reformed Theological Seminary, has written to address the topic of spiritual growth and nurture. His book in the Track series is A Student’s Guide to Sanctification.
- Dr. Ed Welch, is a counselor and faculty member at the Christian Counseling and Education Foundation who has written extensively on the topic of anxiety. His book in the Track series is A Student’s Guide To Anxiety.
- Dr. John Perritt is the Director of Resources for Reformed Youth Ministries, an author, youth worker, and podcast host. His book in the Track series is A Student’s Guide to Technology.
When I was asked to host this livestream conversation I quickly saw how each of these books lines up to answer one of the questions I’m continuing to hear from youth workers and parents. I’m looking forward to the conversation and would like to invite you to join us! This will be a practical discussion that I believe will encourage, educate, and equip you with tools to respond to the deep needs of kids and families that have been rising to the surface during the current pandemic. As an added bonus, we’ll be giving away some books during the Livestream!
Here are the links for tomorrow’s Livestream. . .

One of the best ways to explore this countryside is on the back of a dirt bike. Mayura Hill, conveniently, has a number for rent, so I saddle up behind Thea on a 250cc Yamaha Tricker and hit the road.
We manage about 40 kmh along the bumpy road to Mondulkiri’s Bou Sra waterfall. On the way we stop by a village. While more and more Bunong communities are adopting Khmer-style stilt houses, we still see traditional dwellings with thatched roofs and mud-brick walls festooned with magic spirit poles. The Bunong are believed to have been in the region for more than 2,000 years and hold deeply animist beliefs. We peek inside several huts, full of big clay jars and urns and traditional music instruments such as gongs and the guitar-like kong rieng. “There is no great body of literature in the Bunong language … they have a written language now, but it’s quite recent,” Herod told me back in Sen Monorom. “But their oral traditions are quite rich with folktales and songs.”
Songs await us at the base of Bou Sra, where two Bunong musicians have struck up a beautiful, haunting ballad to the accompaniment of a kong rieng. “We play in ceremonies and here for tourists, but mainly it is for enjoyment and to keep our traditions alive,” one of them tells me during a break. Mondulkiri is dotted with dozens of waterfalls, but Bou Sra is the big one, a three-tiered cascade that predictably attracts a stream of sightseers. We spot picnickers snacking on fruit and dried fish on straw mats beside the waterfall’s shallow pools, and elderly Cambodian men with krama scarves tied around their waists cooling off in the water. Litter mars the scene, but the setting is undeniably photogenic.
The ride back to town takes us past the Mondulkiri Protected Forest (MPF), a 425,000-hectare chunk of wilderness. It is bordered by three other Cambodian wildlife sanctuaries as well as by Vietnam’s Yok Don National Park, collectively comprising one of the largest protected areas in Southeast Asia. It’s also part of what the WWF classifies as the Lower Mekong Dry Forests Ecoregion, a patchwork of tropical dry forests, semi-evergreen forests, and seasonally wet grasslands that harbor an abundance of wildlife: three species of wild cattle; critically endangered Eld’s deer and sun bears; tigers and clouded leopards; Siamese crocodiles and freshwater stingrays; and water birds including the sarus crane and giant ibis.
We stop at a lookout above the MPF in time to watch the sun set. Mondulkiri means “meeting of the hills” in Cambodian, and from this vantage point, gazing across undulating forest toward the mountains of Vietnam, it’s easy to see how the province came by its name. Serendipitously, we’re soon joined by the effervescent Robert Solar, WWF’s area manager. Every Friday he brings his staff to this lookout for sunset, “so that they know what they’re trying to protect,” he tells us.
Looking out across the darkening jungle, it’s hard to fathom that Cambodia has lost more than 20 percent of its forest cover since 1973, a figure calculated by WWF researches using satellite data. I ask Solar if there is much hope for the wildlife of Mondulkiri. “Oh yeah—so long as the landscape survives,” he says. “If there are no trees, there are no elephants. That’s the bottom line. But the forest is still there, and there’s a lot of it, so you just have to keep at it. If you disengage, you lose it.”
Brightening, he adds, “This is the best place in the country. It’s not polluted, it’s not congested, and the food is great. And the landscape—you can’t get this anywhere else in Cambodia. Sure, you can go west to the Cardamom Mountains, but it’s a ghost forest—there’s nothing in it, just trees. Here the wildlife is still rich and plentiful. I really feel like we can save it.”
Sen Monorom lies about 360 kilometers northeast of Phnom Penh along a well-maintained highway, so bank on spending at least five hours on the road. Private cars and taxis are available for hire in the Cambodian capital; considerably cheaper is the reliable, twice-daily minivan service run by Chim Vuth Mondolkiri Express (855-16/963-243), which charges just US$10 per person.
Where to Stay
Mayura Hill Hotel & Resort (855-77/980-980; doubles from US$100) has stylish cottages perched on a hillcrest and surrounded by pretty greenery. It’s also one of the few hotels in Mondulkiri with a swimming pool.
Where to Eat
Excellent Khmer food can be had at the Chomnou Thmei restaurant near the top of the main road by the kouprey statue—try any dish that features avocado. Khmer Kitchen is the stop-off point for minivan trips but serves fine local dishes such as banh xeo (a rice pancake packed with bean sprouts, pork, and flavoursome herbs) and spice-rubbed roast chicken. To learn more about the ecotourism projects on offer in Mondulkiri, stop by the NGO-run Hefalump Café (855-99/696-041), which also happens to serve excellent coffee and pastries.
What to Do
Day visits to Jack Highwood’s Elephant Valley Project cost US$70 and include transportation and a hearty lunch. A two-day experience —half of it spent volunteering and the other half with the elephants—costs US$120 and includes a night in a private bungalow and all meals.
