In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Yemen, NASA composites, Asian American photographers, FeaturePrint and book banning.

  • In Yemen: Beauty on the Edge of War, freelance photographer Mattia Velati writes of his photographs, "It's impossible to talk about Yemen nowadays without talking about destruction, bombings and terrorism, but I also want to highlight its extreme richness: its breathtaking landscapes, its unique architecture and cultural heritage, the strength of the people, especially women and the fact that Yemen has several Unesco sites that are now in danger."
  • Kate Mothes presents Composite Images From NASA's Most Powerful Telescopes. "Imagery from the Chandra Observatory and the James Webb and Hubble telescopes -- plus infrared information from the Spitzer telescope's final missions -- mesh together to generate mesmerizing views of iconic nebulae and galaxies," she writes.
  • Freoz Khan features Some of the Best Asian American Photographers interviewed by The Phoblographer over the years. They include Bobby Pitts, Andrew Kung, Michelle Watt, Zayira Ray, Kannetha Brown, Lanna Apisukh, Teresa Hoang, Stan Honda and Binly.
  • Kehl Bayern reviews FeaturePrint, an app that can distinguish the genuine from the fake. "Using artificial intelligence and your smartphone, the app can distinguish a real item from a counterfeit product," he writes.
  • This step-by-step guide from Take Action for Libraries explains What Do I Do if I Don't Like a Book at the Library?. Apparently it's needed more than ever now. Just to be clear, book banning under the fig leaf of parental rights offends us as both writer and reader. But then we've never thought of ignorance as bliss. So it's shocking to us that parents are able to ban books without actually having read them. But perhaps they can't.

More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
