   Here's a collage of Khaled showing the progression of GIF images starting with 2 colors and doubling (4 - 8 - 16 - 32 - 64 - 128) up to 256 colors. The bottom image is in its original JPG format. |

Very cool, Richard! I wasn't sure where to post this, but this picture accompanies the loan description of Keo Ny (not sure which is her, I presume the woman in the hammock).  It appears that the woman lying in the hammock has a cannula (IV) inserted in her left hand, with tubing leading up to something (fluids or probably meds) hanging above/behind her head. I'm thinking that in the high-poverty regions of Cambodia, this wouldn't be so common & especially not for minor issues?? The write-up doesn't mention any illness, but it sounds like her husband earns most of the family's income. http://www.kiva.org/app.php?page=businesses&action=about&id=53708&_tpos=12&_tpg=3 |

"She is a traveling salesperson and sells from district to district, such that she travels 12 km per day on average." That means Abra walks 7.2 miles a day carrying that load!! I'm impressed!! |

Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice & the oppression of the White Man, as snow before a summer sun. Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle, give up our homes, our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit, the graves of our dead & everything that is dear & sacred to us? I know you will cry with me, "Never! Never!"---Tecumseh of the Shawnees "They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, & they took it."---Mahpiua Luta (Red Cloud) of the Oglala Sioux
