]]> Protection of your privacy and of your data https://www.ylovebigcats.com/en/2018/04/04/protection-of-your-privacy-and-of-your-data/ Wed, 04 Apr 2018 16:35:29 +0000 https://www.ylovebigcats.com/en/?p=1067 You may not have noticed it but European Regulations recently required some significant changes on web sites, in order to make sure that they are respectful of their visitors and -even more importantly- of the privacy of their data. Our web site has been adapting since a few weeks with a few nice changes, including:

  1. A Privacy Policy.
  2. When you submit a comment on the site, it is now explicit (through a checkbox) that you understand that this will imply our storing of some of your personal data, and that you consent to it.(« explicit » and « positive » consent).
  3. Creation of a Data Protection Officer (that’s me!) in charge of answering questions and requests of modificaiton and removal of your personal data if you ultimately want to revoke your consent.

the objective is to make more explicit and fully compliant, the choices that we already made to respect our visitors, and their privacy. Like we do since the beginning.

]]> A flipboard for YLoveBigCats https://www.ylovebigcats.com/en/2015/04/30/a-flipboard-for-ylovebigcats/ Thu, 30 Apr 2015 21:11:03 +0000 https://ylovebigcats.com/en/?p=952 A few changes for YLovePhoto in 2015. Starting with the decision of adding a special complement to the web site for those who know and love FlipBoard, a powerful way to flip pages on Internet-based magazines. It’s even easier if you chose to use your smart phone: your magazine pages are flipped from the tip of your finger, to move from one post to the next, one image to the next.


View my Flipboard Magazine.

I’ll store there sets of links that I find on the web. I’ll try to make them appear in groups linked by an obvious common subject in the coming months (If I’m good enough at it and if you are interested enough).

I’ll start with a series (videos and posts) about depth of field, a topic central for any photographer.

Tell me what you think of it. I can’t wait to know.

You would think that this leads me to invite you to visit her gallery. Yes, I do. But not only that.

You should check her blog: Big Cat Art Blog. She describes her work and the way a painting comes to life brush after brush.

You should also visit other parts of her web life with such interesting things as her Colored Pencil Tutorial where you will find the detailled step-by-step instructions to go from blank paper to something like the following picture (and it’s much more complex than you’d think at first):

]]> Malaria vaccine coming? https://www.ylovebigcats.com/en/2008/12/13/malaria-vaccine-coming/ Sat, 13 Dec 2008 21:20:29 +0000 https://ylovebigcats.com/en/?p=184 The GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) pharmaceutical laboratory may have found the right one with a vaccine that is set to immediately enter phase III clinical trials. It has already succesfully tested on American volunteers and on 340 Tanzanian children. It seems to reduce the infection risk by 65% – without unpleasant interaction.

All people traveling to tropical countries will certainly be glad to hear this, for themselves and for the people of these countries paying a dire price to the malaria infection.
