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.

"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!!
