Many hard-working and talented people were born in this country. Some have achieved superstar status, such as "Emmanuel "Manny" Dapidran Pacquiao (pronounced /ˈpækjaʊ/; born December 17, 1978) is aFilipino professional boxer. He is currently the WBO World welterweight champion, The Ring light welterweight champion, and is rated by The Ring as the number 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world.

Pacquiao is also the former WBC World lightweight champion, WBC World super featherweight champion, IBF World super bantamweight champion, and WBC World flyweight champion. Furthermore, he is the former The Ring featherweight and super featherweight champion.

Pacquiao is the first boxer in history to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions.^[3]In addition, he is the only boxer to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes.^[4]For his achievements, Pacquiao was named the 2000-2009 "Fighter of the Decade" by the Boxing Writers Association of America.

I want a series of maximum cards with Manny. :)

"The Philippines (Filipino: Pilipinas [pɪlɪˈpinɐs]), officially known as the Republic of the Philippines (Filipino: Republika ng Pilipinas), is a country in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean. Taiwan lies north across the Luzon Strait. West across the South China Sea sitsVietnam. The Sulu Sea to the southwest separates it from the island of Borneo and to the south the Celebes Sea from other islands of Indonesia. It is bounded on the east by the Philippine Sea. An archipelago comprising 7,107 islands, the Philippines is categorized broadly into three main geographical divisions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The capital city is Manila.

With an estimated population of about 92 million people, the Philippines is the world's 12th most populous country. It is estimated that there are an additional 11 million overseas Filipinos worldwide. Multiple ethnicities and cultures are found throughout the islands. Its tropical climate sustains one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines

The Philippine Eagle was named the national bird of the Philippines.

"The Philippine Eagle, Pithecophaga jefferyi, also known as the great Philippine eagle or monkey-eating eagle, is among the tallest, rarest, largest, and most powerful birds in the world. A bird of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae, it is also known as "Haribon" or "Haring Ibon," which means "Bird King". Its local name is banog.^[2]"

^{"Colugos (pronounced /kəˈluːɡoʊ/) are arboreal gliding mammals found in South-east Asia. There are just two extant species, [1] which make up the entire family Cynocephalidae (pronounced /saɪˈnə.sɛfˈɑːləˌdiː/) and order Dermoptera. They are the most capable of all gliding mammals, using flaps of extra skin between their legs to glide from higher to lower locations. They are also known as cobegos or flying lemurs, though they are not true lemurs." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_lemur}

 It is estimated that the flying lemur could make up 90% of the raptor's diet in some locations.^[14]

maximaphily = collecting maximum cards (postcard + stamp + postmark)

Maximaphily

Maximaphily is a branch of philately, or stamp collecting, that means collecting maximum cards.

Generally, a maximum card is a postcard, with a stamp and a postmark on the picture side. Ideally, all these 3 elements should be concordant, but not identical.

The traditional way is to comply with the rules of FIP (International Philatelic Federation).

http://www.maximaphily.info

The non-traditional way, as I call it, is to follow nobody's rules! Unless YOU want it, of course.

I call DORINCARD any postcard that was personalized by adding a stamp and a postmark, on the picture side of the postcard. Traditional way, or not. :)

Philately (stamp collecting), as a confluence of domains: learning, writing, web design, business administration, etc.

Maximum cards from India: Bengal tigers - standard, and white.

These maximum cards were created for me, at my request, by a friend from India.

The pictorial postmark represents a deity, but it's not visible on the background of the picture postcards.

You can see the postmark only on the postal postcard pre-stamped with a white tiger stamp.

I wish he had used a white tiger stamp from India on the white tiger picture postcard, to be concordant.

Attention, Indian partners and friends: I am looking for a maximum card that you can create for me with the white tiger commemorative Indian stamp (the bigger one, and multi-color), 

not with the definitive stamp (smaller, bi-color).

Maximum cards from China, with the 80 fen stamp from 2004: South China tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis)

Maximum card from China: Siberian (not South China) tiger (Panthera tigris altaica)

Siberian (not South China) tigers maximum cards from China.
I like very much these maximum cards, 
especially the bottom one :) .
It just so happens that each of them was created with a real, commercial postcard.
Would it bother me if this "postcard" were, instead, a cut-out from a folded postcard ("greeting 
card"), book, magazine, or calendar?
No. Not at all.

Two tigers in the same postcard

Whether a maximum card is FIP-compliant or not, I still call it a Dorincard. This is another one that's NOT.

No,  it's not a striped hippopotamus - just a VERY pregnant tigress (I guess). OCTO-tigress?

An inconvenient truth? Mohan...in-breeding?...incest?

Again, I invite you to tell me WHY this is not FIP-compliant.

In a related story, I could tell you WHY I don't care, in this case.

Should you jump on me for calling this "a maximum card", I could instantly tell you "it's a Dorincard", a term that includes all the FIP-compliant maximum cards, and then some.

:)

BTW, this is just a temporary juxtaposition of those elements; I didn't affix/apply them yet.

Just a demo/comp/project/study/idea.

Virtual maximum card / carte maximum / maximumkarte : Stripeless, Snow White Tiger

Akbar Kabul, a Snow White tiger at The Mirage, in a time when the Siegfried & Roy show was dwarfing all the other Vegas shows. Beasts, but not of burden.

Not for every spectator/tourist: some were more into watching a Bad, Bad Queen of the Las Vegas...strip (I mean Strip, boulevard) or into biting from the forbidden fruit (apple).

Aye, ho!...aye, ho...not you, Bambi!

Thus, some of those tourists volunteered for their own Cirque de la Nuit.

Les Misérables...or, if you want to excuse somebody's French: Ley Mizerabb!...desperate for a FEMfatal to happen in Vegas, and stay in Vegas. A hard twist on French, as if Brett FaRVe is driving a DISLEXUS...

If not, there's always gambling (gaming is the official term) and boozing. Both around the clock.

Anagram: SLOT MACHINES = CASH LOST IN ME or CASH LOST IN 'EM.

Keyword: Mirage. A Wynn-Win situation. Steve Wynn - his mind has a far better vision than his eyes.

Tigers - Zazzle personalized stamps: comparison of 6 different designs

Comparison of 6 different Zazzle stamps with tigers of 4 color varieties (striped white, stripeless white, golden tabby and regular). I have designed and already bought 6 different sheets of 20 identical (designwise) stamps. But each individual stamp is uniquely encoded in the IBI (information-based indicia)- the black and white little squares.
I (temporarily) applied these six stamps onto a transparency sheet. Besides this group scan, I will use them, after cutting the stamps onto individual transparency rectangles, for maximum cards projects, demos, comps, experiments.

Personalized stamp: Stripeless White Tiger
