A teenager who walked among protesters in Kenosha, Wis., carrying a military-style semi-automatic rifle was arrested and faces a charge of first-degree intentional homicide in connection with shootings that left two people dead on Tuesday night.
Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old Illinois resident, appeared on multiple videos taken throughout the night by protesters and bystanders who chronicled the events as peaceful protests gave way to chaos, with demonstrators, armed civilians and others facing off against one another and the police in the darkened streets.
The New York Times’s Visual Investigations unit analyzed hours of footage to track Mr. Rittenhouse’s movements in the moments leading up to, and during, the shootings.
Who is Kyle Rittenhouse?
Mr. Rittenhouse was arrested early Wednesday in his hometown, Antioch, Ill., which is about 30 minutes southwest of the protests in Kenosha, just over the state line.
Multiple posts on his social media accounts proclaim support for pro-police causes like the Blue Lives Matter movement and Humanize the Badge, a nonprofit that he ran a Facebook fund-raiser for on his 16th birthday.
His posts also suggest a strong affinity for guns, with videos showing Mr. Rittenhouse taking backyard target practice, posing with guns and assembling a weapon.
But many details about both his background and his motivations for walking around the Kenosha protests carrying a military-style semi-automatic rifle are still emerging.
Before the shootings
About two hours before the first shooting, the producer of a video livestream interviews Mr. Rittenhouse at a Kenosha vehicle dealership.
Mr. Rittenhouse is there at the same time as several other armed men. Some of them are positioned on the building’s roof overlooking the parking lot where vehicles were burned the day before.
In a brief exchange on the livestream, he identifies himself as “Kyle.”
Mr. Rittenhouse says that he’s there to protect the business. He calls it his job, although there is no indication that he was asked to guard the site.
Later, he claims to another videographer that he was pepper sprayed by someone in a nearby crowd while protecting property.
In most of the footage The Times has reviewed from before the shootings, Mr. Rittenhouse is around this area. He also offers medical assistance to protesters.
About 15 minutes before the first shooting, police officers drive past Mr. Rittenhouse, and the other armed civilians who claim to be protecting the dealership, and offer water out of appreciation.
Mr. Rittenhouse walks up to a police vehicle carrying his rifle and talks with the officers.
He eventually leaves the dealership and is barred by the police from returning. Six minutes later footage shows Mr. Rittenhouse being chased by an unknown group of people into the parking lot of another dealership several blocks away.
While Mr. Rittenhouse is being pursued by the group, an unknown gunman fires into the air, though it’s unclear why. The weapon’s muzzle flash appears in footage filmed at the scene.
Mr. Rittenhouse turns toward the sound of gunfire as another pursuer lunges toward him from the same direction. Mr. Rittenhouse then fires four times, and appears to shoot the man in the head.
Mr. Rittenhouse seems to make a phone call and then flees the scene. Several people chase him, some shouting, “That’s the shooter!”
As Mr. Rittenhouse is running, he trips and falls to the ground. He fires four shots as three people rush toward him. One person appears to be hit in the chest and falls to the ground. Another, who is carrying a handgun, is hit in the arm and runs away.
Mr. Rittenhouse’s gunfire is mixed in with the sound of at least 16 other gunshots that ring out during this time.
As this happens, police vehicles just one block away remain stationary during the gunfire.
Mr. Rittenhouse walks with his hands up toward the police vehicles. Bystanders call out to the officers that he had just shot people.
The police drive by him without stopping, on their way to assist the victims.
After the shootings, local officials announced a 7 p.m. curfew would continue until Sunday. And Wisconsin’s governor, Tony Evers, said he was sending hundreds more members of the state’s National Guard to Kenosha.

— -- Welcome to Palau!
The string of over three hundred tiny green islands, 3 degrees north of the equator in the North Pacific Ocean, southeast of the Philippines, is both a majestic and magical place.
Time stopped when these gorgeous islands took shape at the end of the last ice age, forming one of the most geologically and biologically fascinating places on the planet.
Now, the beautiful blue waters are teeming with the magnificence of marine life. The island country created the word's first shark sanctuary in 2009 and is home to such marvels as a 400-pound Napoleon Wrasse and gigantic 500 to 800 pound Tridacna clams.
This morning, we’re off to Jellyfish Lake, which is the habitat for millions of jellyfish. It’s a 45-minute boat ride and 20-minute hike through the woods. The air is humid and out local guide, Jake, and our crew lugged all of the equipment – cameras and gear – needed to document the journey. (Jake was barefoot!)
This body of water is filled to the brim with 20 million jellyfish that have lost the ability to sting. The lack of predators not only has caused them to multiply, but it also has caused them to lose their stinging cells, Jake explained, so you can actually touch them.
That’s what I did. As we swam out, I spotted a few near the light since they are dependent on the sun for feeding purposes, Jake explained.
And then it was full-blown jellyfish nation. It was an unbelievable experience, like floating through a living lava lamp with 20 million swirling globes of golden marshmallow puffs. Once I got over the initial shock of feeling them all over my body, it was beautiful. I did deep duck dive after duck dive to get in the densest area of jellyfish. With a Go Pro camera in hand, I got some epic shots coming through the thick schools. It was interesting too, the bigger jellies hang with the other bigger jellies, the babies are all together on the outside. Grouping by size. People keep asking what it felt like -- it felt like swimming through opened cups of Jello...so weird!
Next on our journey was Palau’s natural mud bath called the Milky Way – nature's answer to a day at the spa. The thick clay mud found at the bottom of the floor is said to make you look ten years younger. I don't know if it did all that, but it was fun covering myself head to toe in the thick mud. Jake and I joked that he's really 85, but has been coming here for years.
But the truth is whether you come to Palau for the mud bath, to snorkel at the sunken ship turned barrier reef, scuba dive with the sharks and Napoleans, or swim with the jellyfish, simply being in this place and taking in the wonder of nature will make you feel like a kid again.
And we were lucky enough to experience a beautiful sunset.
Tulong, Palau. That means, Thank you. | <urn:uuid:2767f196-f068-449a-8909-5e1c7399ec15> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://abcnews.go.com/Travel/ginger-zees-swim-jellyfish-lake-palau/story?id=30914405 | 2023-09-28T19:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.963624 | 647 |
This past May, I traveled to Puebla, Mexico for the second year in a row with Ambassadors. Both trips have impacted me in far more ways than I could have imagined. Ambassadors is an amazing organization that uses sport as a platform to share the amazing news of Jesus Christ. In Mexico, we were able to use our soccer talent to reach a wide variety of individuals. We played in several games and were able to build lasting relationships with different individuals from Mexico.
Growing up, my family went to church but only on big holiday’s like Easter and Christmas. My siblings and I attended Sunday School but as soccer became more of a commitment, we lost that connection to church every Sunday. And to be completely honest, I didn’t really understand the whole “religious” thing. However, I joined Ambassadors club and my whole image of Jesus changed. I am forever thankful for Caleb Fortune and the many coaches I encountered throughout my youth at Ambassadors. They changed my entire perspective and really helped me start and grow in my own faith. I have volunteered with Ambassadors Summer Camps and it truly is amazing encountering and working with individuals who love Jesus and use soccer as a platform to share the good news with others. On top of that, I am a member of the WPSL team in Cleveland and there is an optional bible study that many of us are a part of. Ambassadors is truly authentic in the sense of helping individuals explore and grow in their own faith.
Going on tour with Ambassadors has impacted me in far more ways than I could have imagined. It truly has impacted me in the sense to give everything to God and he is in control of everything. There were quite a few times on tour when things weren’t seeming to go as planned, however, God was working all around us and had everything in control. Which can be difficult for me at times because I am a big planner and like to be in control of everything. The tour also opened my eyes to a whole different world and gave me a whole new perspective to the world we live in. Even though a lot of our personal circumstances are totally different, we can all connect and become one when it comes to Jesus. Jesus definitely used this tour to soften my heart and challenge me to grow in my faith and take a step out of my comfort zone. I am forever thankful for these life changing tours.
One of my favorite memories was our trip to Popolocas and the activities we did there! That was one of the days where our original schedule got all turned around and we had to change our plan quickly. But God is good and he had a plan for us all along and it turned out to be an amazing day. We were able to run a little soccer clinic for the children in the village and help the local church feed the community. The individuals in the community don’t have a whole lot, yet they were some of the happiest people I have ever encountered and they forever hold a special place in my heart.
I saw God work in so many ways on the tour! One of my favorite God moments was when our bus driver joined us in church on Sunday and decided to commit his life to Christ! He didn’t have any previous knowledge about Ambassadors or what we believe in. Throughout the week, he learned more about us and made that commitment to Jesus! Everyone was praying for him and it was truly a special moment that made me so happy! On top of that, I saw God working and helping grow the Ambassadors office in Mexico. There are more boy’s teams within the club and the girls side is taking off. The office in Mexico has grown and developed immensely within these last few years and that’s all because of the glory of God. And lastly, it may seem small, but just God working in each and everyone’s hearts to feel vulnerable and comfortable with each other. Everyone shared their own personal testimony, some people being believers, some unknown, yet everyone was so accepting and loving. I truly believe that God brought each and every person on that tour for a far greater purpose and I am so thankful that I was a part of that. | <urn:uuid:477f5d81-032d-4dff-a69d-2fffaed52711> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ac.ambassadorsfootball.org/2019/08/28/sydney-leckie-mexico-tour/ | 2023-09-28T18:31:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.983905 | 858 |
Monday - Workout - (Slightly windy, Audio is ok) - I got a microphone that I'll start using next week
Welcome to Day 1 of Session #2!
If you were a part of CASA session #1, we are continuing to add on and make it more challenging.
Note to new members -
If you are new and you are starting in session #2, please listen to your body and modify as needed. It has taken us 5 weeks to get to this point so please start slow.
I recommend starting with 2-3 sets and use body weight instead of resistance bands or jumping exercises. It's about being consistent and not getting so sore that you can't workout the next day. If you start slow you will be caught up to the rest of the group pretty quickly.
Be the best version of yourself, don't get overly concerned with competing with other people.
I go live in Facebook and the video is posted in the Facebook group as well as here in the Academy. (In my opinion everything is more organized in the Academy, so it may be an easier option.) Here is the facebook group link:
Session 2 / Week 1 (Dec. 7)
We will be running outside and the focus will be on acceleration. You will need some room to run, we will be running 30 yards (90 feet).
- For our warmup I like to have a mat for active stretching
- Resistance bands for band squats and Monster walk
- Box, step, or bench for side planks and single leg buck.
- Suspension trainer or towel for pistol squats
If you don't have any of this equipment, its ok.
There are modifications for all movements and I will go through them during the workout tomorrow.
I will be going live tomorrow at 9:00 am mountain time. Once the workout is complete I will post the video in the academy and on Facebook so it will be available to you whenever you want.
If you miss a day and need to adjust your schedule that is ok, some people even combine workouts and that is ok too. Do whatever works best for you and your schedule.
Have a great evening and I will see you tomorrow.
P.S. We will be taking a week off around Christmas (Dec. 23 - Dec. 30) If you want to workout, there are plenty of workouts to follow. We will pick up on Dec. 31 and be on our way to finishing this 5 week session.

Infections caused by arboviruses such as dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and Zika virus (ZIKV) frequently occur in tropical and subtropical regions. These three viruses are transmitted by Aedes (Ae.) aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Zika (ZIKV), Dengue (DENV) and Chikungunya viruses (CHIKV) co-circulate in the same geographical areas during the same seasonal period through the same biting arthropods. Prior to the arrival and subsequent spread of Zika virus (ZIKV)in Latin America and the Caribbean, Dengue virus (DENV) was the predominant arbovirus. With the recent increase of ZIKV and Chikungunya (CHIKV) circulation worldwide, several instances of human co-infection have been reported and characterized, being co-infection with more than one DENV serotype associated to more severe forms. Therefore a rapid sensitive and specific molecular assay for these viruses would be a considerable help in the disease management and the epidemiological survey.

In previous arms of a sequential, multi-arm, ovarian cancer clinical trial, Tanyi and Chiang et al. showed that the use of a dendritic cell vaccine consisting of DCs pulsed with oxidized autologous whole tumor lysate (OCDC) can elicit T cell responses to tumor-associated antigens and neoantigens. They also showed that the addition of Bevacizumab (Bev), which targets VEGF and inhibits angiogenesis, and cyclophosphamide (Cy), which targets Tregs, enhanced survival in these patients. To further enhance the efficacy of this three-part regimen, or “baseline therapy”, the researchers recently tested the addition of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA; also known as Aspirin), which is a widely used anti-inflammatory drug, and low-dose IL-2, which has effectively enhanced pre-existing antitumor T cell responses in other immunotherapy settings, in both a clinical trial and in a comparable mouse model. Their results were recently published in Vaccines.
To study the addition of ASA and low-dose IL-2 to the baseline regimen of OCDC, Bev, and Cy, thirty patients with recurrent advanced ovarian cancer who had previous received treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapy (many patients were heavily pre-treated), but were naive to immunotherapy were enrolled in a clinical trial and divided into three cohorts of ten. Cohort A received only the baseline therapy, while cohort B was treated with baseline therapy plus ASA, and cohort C was treated with baseline therapy plus ASA and low-dose IL-2. Cy was given intravenously, and the following day, OCDC was given intranodally, then Bev was administered intravenously. ASA was administered orally daily, and low-dose IL-2 was administered intravenously for five consecutive days following each administration of OCDC. Treatment cycles were repeated every three weeks for 4 or 5 cycles; patients whose disease was not progressing were offered a maintenance regimen. In all three cohorts, treatment was well tolerated. Several patients experienced manageable grade 3 adverse events, and no patients experienced grade 4 adverse events.
Evaluating T cell responses in patients for whom PBMCs were available, the researchers found that two patients in cohort C who had good clinical responses also had a persistent increases in vaccine-specific IFNγ-producing T cells following vaccination and at the end of the study. Two patients in cohort B with weak T cell responses showed weaker clinical effects. Across both cohorts B and C, the researchers were also able to positively correlate the maximum number of IFNγ-producing vaccine-specific T cells with longer time-to-progression and prolonged 3-year OS. Overall, cohort C demonstrated greater immunogenicity and stronger clinical benefit, with more patients from cohort C (8/10) being alive at 3 years compared to cohort B (4/10) or cohort A (4/10).
Investigating the quality of the T cell responses in treated patients, Tanyi and Chiang et al. identified polyfunctional vaccine-specific T cells in patients from cohorts B and C, and CD8+ T cells from cohort C were significantly more polyfunctional than those from cohort B. Further, samples from cohort C contained a population of cells co-expressing IFNγ, granzyme B, perforin, and TNFα that was not present in samples from cohort B. Interestingly, markers of activation and exhaustion were not markedly different between cohorts B and C.
To determine whether OCDC vaccination elicited neoantigen-specific T cell responses, the researchers evaluated samples from one patient in cohort B for whom both PBMC and tumor samples were available. Based on neoantigen prediction algorithms, they were able to identify both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses that were specific for neoantigens, and validate a CD4+ response to an epitope predicted by a class-II algorithm, suggesting that OCDC vaccination can elicit responses to both HLA-I- and HLA-II-restricted epitopes.
Given the limited availability of samples from patients, Tanyi and Chiang et al. mimicked these therapeutic regimens in the syngeneic ID8 ovarian cancer mouse model. Mice in group C showed reduced tumor growth, longer median survival, and significantly prolonged OS compared to mice in groups A and B. Mice in group C also had higher levels of tumor-infiltrating CD3+ and CD8+ T cells and, within infiltrating CD3+ and CD8+ T cells, a higher portion of perforin-expressing cells. Tumors from mice in group C also showed a lower percentage of Tregs within CD4+ TILs compared to in group A or control mice, and a higher CD8:Treg ratio within TILs compared to group A, B, and control mice. Overall, this suggests a favorable tumor immune microenvironment in group C.
In past studies, tumor endothelial production of FasL has acted as an immune barrier by preferentially killing CD8+ T cells. FasL production is supported in part by tumor-derived VEGF and PGE2, which can be targeted with anti-VEGF antibodies (i.e. Bev) and ASA, respectively. Investigating the effects of an anti-VEGF antibody and ASA on FasL production, the researchers observed lower numbers of FasL+CD31+ tumor endothelial cells in groups B and C compared to in group A and control mice. They also showed that decreased FasL+CD31+ cells correlated with increased CD8+ TILs.
Evaluating plasma chemokine profiles, the researchers found that mice across treated groups had increased levels of CCL5, CCL4, CCL2, and CXCL9 in their serum, but that this was most pronounced in group C mice. In particular, group C showed the highest levels of Th1-polarizing chemokines and CXCL9. Increased plasma CXCL9 was found to be correlated with increased CD3+ and CD8+ TILs, suggesting that the serum chemokine profiles in group C were favorable for T cell recruitment.
Finally, investigating neoantigen-specific T cell responses, the researchers sequenced their ID8 tumor model, identified mutations, and selected 17 neoantigens, focusing on MHC-I-restricted epitopes. Across all treated groups, they detected CD8+ T cell responses to 11 neoantigens. T cells from group C mice recognized 10 of these and had the overall highest number of IFNγ-producing neoantigen-specific T cells. Further, mice in group C had significantly increased IFNγ-producing T cells against four particular neoantigens compared to mice in groups A and B, which individually or as a group positively correlated with decreased tumor burden. The presence of CD8+ T cells responding to other tumor neoantigens did not show the same correlation.
By studying the addition of ASA and low-dose IL-2 to a regimen of OCDC, Bev, and Cy, Tanyi and Chiang et al. showed that these additions can enhance clinical outcomes, antitumor immune responses, and T cell recruitment to tumors, and reduce tumor endothelial production of FasL. While OCDC alone is insufficient as a monotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer, testing rational combinations has led to improved antitumor immune responses and encouraging therapeutic outcomes.

This week, co-first authors Janos Tanyi and Cheryl Chiang, along with co-lead authors Lana Kandalaft and Alex Harari answered our questions.
What prompted you to tackle this research question?
Despite advances made in surgery and medicine, the overall survival of patients with ovarian cancer (OC) remains very poor. This is mainly because OC lacks specific symptoms, and patients are diagnosed at a late stage, whereby the cancers have metastasized. We clearly need to develop new OC treatment regimens, as less than 40% of the OC patients with advanced cancer remain alive 5 years after diagnosis. The current standard-of-care treatments for OC patients are debulking surgery and several rounds of chemotherapy. However, more than 80% of the OC patients will recur and eventually develop resistance to the chemotherapeutic agents. We previously demonstrated that OC is immunogenic and could be recognized by the body’s immune system. We developed a cancer vaccine with the OC patient’s own immune cells (dendritic cells) and inactivated tumor cells (we called this vaccine OCDC) and used it successfully in a small-scale clinical study. The OCDC vaccine is safe and effectively elicits antitumor responses in the patients. To have a sustained antitumor response, we must modulate and even eliminate immunosuppressive mechanisms in the OC tumor microenvironment. Thus, we designed treatment regimens that consist of OCDC vaccine and different immunomodulatory agents approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with the goal of disrupting the immunosuppressive barriers in OC microenvironment and increasing the overall efficacy of the OCDC vaccine-primed antitumor responses.
What was the most surprising finding of this study for you?
We were pleasantly surprised that we could repurpose the use of different FDA-approved immunomodulatory agents to achieve clinical benefits in OC patients. By adding two additional agents (i.e. acetylsalicylic acid and recombinant IL-2) in the treatment regimen, we were able to elicit an even stronger antitumor T cell response in the OC patients. In biology, the additive effects of different therapeutic agents in a combinatorial regimen is not always straightforward. We believe that other immune mechanisms (besides antitumor T cells) also play important roles in suppressing OC tumor growth. We have a robust ovarian tumor mouse model (i.e. ID8) for this study; we are able to observe strong similarities in terms of treatment outcomes and antitumor T cell responses between this tumor model and the treated OC patients. Thus, the ID8 ovarian tumor model is a useful tool for evaluating future OC clinical trial design.
What was the coolest thing you’ve learned (about) recently outside of work?
CC: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are spending more time cooking and experimenting with different recipes. Interestingly, we find many similarities between doing biological experiments and cooking, i.e., if we use the right ingredients, we could get our desired outcome. Tried and tested recipes or methods are great, however, we believe that we can achieve much more if we innovate.
LK and AH: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we discovered a way to breath and ski, avoiding lifts, while pitching the next experiment. We warn you, ski touring became extremely addictive... | <urn:uuid:43291779-3e48-450d-91c3-381b3869ebf7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://acir.org/weekly-digests/2021/march/how-do-we-improve-dc-vaccines-let-us-count-the-ways | 2023-09-28T17:39:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954816 | 2,261 |
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The award-winning book that inspired an Apple Original series from Apple TV+ • A landmark investigation of patient deaths at a New Orleans hospital ravaged by Hurricane Katrina—and the suspenseful portrayal of the quest for truth and justice—from a Pulitzer Prize–winning physician and reporter “An amazing tale, as inexorable as a Greek tragedy and as gripping as a whodunit.”—Dallas Morning News After Hurricane Katrina struck and power failed, amid rising floodwaters and heat, exhausted staff at Memorial Medical Center designated certain patients last for rescue. Months later, a doctor and two nurses were arrested and accused of injecting some of those patients with life-ending drugs. Five Days at Memorial, the culmination of six years of reporting by Pulitzer Prize winner Sheri Fink, unspools the mystery, bringing us inside a hospital fighting for its life and into the most charged questions in health care: which patients should be prioritized, and can health care professionals ever be excused for hastening death?
Transforming our understanding of human nature in crisis, Five Days at Memorial exposes the hidden dilemmas of end-of-life care and reveals how ill-prepared we are for large-scale disasters—and how we can do better.

Meadow in the Big Range
The Siamese Ponds region is the Adirondack Park’s quintessential wilderness area: vast in size, diverse in both terrain and forest cover, and available to explore at any time of the year. Everything a wilderness should possess can be found here, and it seems impossible to ever tire of exploring this place.
Like the four other largest protected areas in the Adirondacks – High Peaks, West Canada Lake, Five Ponds, and Silver Lake – the Siamese Ponds Wilderness far exceeds the size of any National Forest wilderness in the Eastern U.S. While not quite a superlative area like the High Peaks region, it is based on the same foundation of anorthosite bedrock. It is also a land of extremes, with numerous high, densely-forested summits that few people visit, divided by wide valleys through which flow a vein-like network of wild streams. Elevations top out over 3400 feet but dip to nearly 1000 feet above sea level.
Named for the pair of large ponds located at dead center, this wilderness features nearly a hundred bodies of water. The name “Siamese Ponds” is probably an indirect reference to Chang and Eng Bunker, the famous conjoined twins who made a living touring the U.S. in the decades before the Civil War. Perhaps a dam on Lower Siamese Pond once raised the water level enough to “conjoin” it with its upper neighbor, but the ponds today are neither joined together nor exactly twins. They are merely close neighbors, shaped somewhat like a bird of prey swooping fast after a scurrying rodent.
Rather, one might say the Siamese Ponds Wilderness is itself a near-twin to the Silver Lake Wilderness to the southwest. Both are prominent headwater regions in the Sacandaga watershed, and each wilderness includes an entire branch of that mighty river – the West Branch for one, and the East Branch here. The two wilderness areas are similar in size and forest cover, and their mountains reach to about the same heights.
What makes the Siamese Ponds Wilderness distinctive, though, is its trail network, which is far more robust than that found in the Silver Lake region. An intriguing network of trails spans the northern half of the area, and all but one access point is maintained for public use year-round. These trails climb mountains and prowl alongside the ponds; they form companions to the East Branch Sacandaga River and sniff out the courses of old wagon roads. A few are marked as ski trails, but all provide good service to hikers and backpackers.
And to those people for whom solitude is a hard requirement: fear not! The trail network described above only hints at the full potential of this wilderness; much more waits to be found in the farthest reaches of the forest.
Please click through the tabs below to learn more about the Siamese Ponds Wilderness.
Siamese Ponds Wilderness at a Glance
Size: 112,883 acres
First Designated: 1972
Unit Management Plan Status: Completed in 2005, amended in 2017
Special Regulations: None; standard Forest Preserve regulations are in effect
The Siamese Ponds Wilderness has it all, with ponds, mountains, and streams distributed evenly throughout. None of these may be the “biggest” or the “highest,” but all of it adds to the mosaic of wildness.
One of the most visible features is the East Branch Sacandaga River; every inch of this mighty, 24-mile-long stream either flows through or along the edge of the wilderness. Only a single highway bridge spans the river at the historic hamlet of Griffin; elsewhere there are only footbridges, and not many at that. The East Branch is easily the largest river in the area, with two distinctive gorges along its course. One of the most scenic trails follows the river for a few miles west of Eleventh Mountain, but one doesn’t need to hike to enjoy its charms – some 12 miles or so are easily viewed while driving the two-lane NY 8.
A far more reclusive stream sneaks its way across the western boundary of the wilderness. The Kunjamuk River begins its journey as the outlet of one of the remotest ponds in the Adirondacks, and for seven miles it flows through country few people see before entering the Speculator Tree Farm to the southwest.
There are numerous other streams as well, including a series of parallel brooks in the southern half of the wilderness that flow through deep mountain valleys. The most notable of these are Shanty Brook and County Line Brook with their distinctive cascades.
The ponds seem to get bigger as one traverses the wilderness from south to north. Those in the southern reaches are quite small, such as the trio of tarns known as the Buckhorn Ponds. The ponds stretched across the central zone are more moderate in size — think Long, Siamese, and Second ponds in this case.
But two relatively large bodies of water frame the northern half of the wilderness. Kings Flow is a man-made lake, probably dating to the logging days and still half-filled with rotting stumps. Thirteenth Lake (named for the historic tract in which it falls, Township 13) is the largest of all. Neither of these lakes is entirely within the wilderness, but while private property strategically controls access to Kings Flow, there is a short and universally-accessible trail to Thirteenth Lake, making this spot a popular wilderness gateway.
A few backcountry ponds have what might be called iconic mountain backdrops, and some are protected trout waters. But every single one seems to have at least one thing in common: spend too much time swimming in any pond in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness and you are certain to draw the attention of leeches.
Like the ponds and streams, the mountains in this region come in a variety of sizes. But while there are several high summits within the wilderness boundaries – Puffer, Bullhead, parts of Gore – it’s the mid-sized peaks that are the most notable. Peaked Mountain is exactly what its name promises, and Chimney Mountain is indeed capped with a column of rock (and riven with the largest concentration of natural caves in the Adirondack Park). The Long Pond Cliffs, Shanty Cliffs, and Pine Peak all resemble small mountains that have been split open by cataclysmic forces.
Forest quality throughout the area is mostly good, except within the footprints of the major historic sites. This wilderness excels at the “northern mixed hardwood” forest type, much of it in better condition than the area’s logging and tannery history would have one believe. Forest fires did scorch the fringes of the wilderness, but the interior is an unbroken expanse of mature forest.
One section of forest in the western wing of the wilderness deserves a special mention. The broad valley of the Kunjamuk River was once a pocket of stately elm trees, a species that was hit hard by an invasive disease a century ago. But the elms were not completely wiped from the landscape; the forest here is still rich with young specimens, maintaining their historic foothold within the backcountry.
Despite its strong wilderness qualities today, the fringes of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness were intensely settled through the late nineteenth century, and what are now woodland trails were once primary thoroughfares between communities. The preservation of this land in a wilderness state was never certain until it actually happened, and perhaps it is just by historical accident that we do not have paved highways and small hamlets scattered throughout this backcountry today.
There seems to be a deep “prehistory” to the Siamese Ponds Wilderness that predates the well-established written record that begins in the 1880s or so. By the time people came here to work and play in the post-Civil War era, many of the place names had already been set – with no explanation what the bother was at Botheration Pond, or why we have an Hour Pond but no Minute Pond. The naming of the Siamese Ponds, as described above in the introduction, is simply a theory that fits certain observations. No two people in the nineteenth century could agree on the correct spelling of “Kunjamuk,” but nevertheless that river has never had another name.
Nor was the landscape uninhabited. Settlements are known to have existed at Curtis Clearing, where several families established farms; at “Little Canada” near Johns Pond, where some residents eventually had to be evicted from state land circa 1914; and at Griffin and Oregon, both of which were tannery sites. Griffin in particular was a booming village until its tannery closed and its economy collapsed almost overnight.
And then there is Old Farm Clearing, a site that has been put to multiple uses despite its name. A map of Warren County published in 1858 identifies the clearing as an “Indian Settlement” – a tantalizing clue that unfortunately comes with no further explanation. The map shows several structures, but the story of this settlement has not survived in modern historical analyses.
Two decades later, gazetteer maps identified this (and another spot to the south, corresponding with the site of Burnt Shanty Clearing) as belonging to Z. Van Dusen. To be clear, this individual was no farmer either. Zenas Van Dusen was a Glens Falls businessman who happened to own much of Township 13 — the heart of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness. He didn’t so much live at these two sites, as the gazetteer seems to suggest, but bankrolled the logging operations on the East Branch Sacandaga.
Old Farm went through another transformation in the 1890s when it became the Thirteenth Lake House, a retreat for sportsmen operated by Henry Maxam. And then the landowner, George Freeman, defaulted on the property taxes and the state acquired the land out from underneath Maxam in 1899. Foresters later planted Norway spruce trees here, creating the distinctive forest familiar to today’s visitors.
In the hills above Thirteenth Lake lurks one of the most unusual historic sites in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness: the old garnet mine once owned by Frank Hooper from about 1908 to 1928. This heavy industrial operation left an obvious scar in the edge of the protected wilderness that is nevertheless interesting to explore. Garnets can be found in the bedrock throughout the northern reaches of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, and one mine remains in operation nearby.
So, given this history of the landscape, it seems remarkable that any of it became a protected wilderness at all. Nevertheless it survives in fine shape, artifacts and all. Perhaps it was just a matter of good timing; the land was changing ownership at precisely the time the State of New York was most able to acquire forestland on a wholesale basis – thousands upon thousands of acres added to the Forest Preserve within a short amount of time. The boomtowns had gone bust, the farmers had relocated to more fertile territory, and better roads had been built elsewhere. What had originally been wilderness was now wilderness once again.
Still, evidence of this history is easy to find. Small piles of rock mark the location of the overgrown pastures at Curtis Clearing, and the foundations of the Thirteenth Lake House can still be detected at Old Farm Clearing, if one looks hard enough. The open rock of the Hooper Mine will be visible for centuries, no doubt. Big Shanty and Burnt Shanty clearings are entirely grown in and exist mostly as names on a map, but the graves of two young children still poignantly mark the location of “Little Canada” to the north. Standing on the top of John Pond Ridge, one can trace the outline of that community by eyeing the hard edges of the pine plantation that now occupies its footprint.
For fans of the wilderness preservation movement, one other site is worth mentioning. It is not located within the wilderness boundaries, but close enough that it will be forever associated with the Siamese Ponds region. On a dead-end road in the hills above Bakers Mills, not far from Eleventh Mountain, stands a small camp. It would be unremarkable except that it was once owned by Howard Zahniser, the principal author of the Wilderness Act.
This federal statute, signed into law by Lyndon Johnson in 1964, permanently protected thousands of acres of federal land throughout the nation. Zahniser visited the Adirondacks often and found inspiration for his “wilderness bill” in the constitutional protections afforded the Forest Preserve. And yes, tradition holds that some of the language included in the Wilderness Act was written here, at the camp named Mateskared — a portmanteau derived from the first names of the Zahniser children.
The Siamese Ponds Wilderness has always been an outstanding place to explore by foot, but over time it has been getting better. Much work has been done in recent years to enhance the established trail network with new connector trails, including a new east-west traverse that is part of the North Country National Scenic Trail. With this connection (as well as other new trail links) it is now possible for backpackers to hike through the wilderness from Speculator to North Creek, or to detour northward to Indian Lake. Loop hikes are also possible at Botheration Pond, John Pond, Thirteenth Lake, and Long Pond.
The area receives a healthy amount of annual snowfall, and because many of these trails make use of old wagon roads they are also favorable to cross-country skiing. Most skiers tend to stick to the trails closest to the fringes, however, such as the Botheration Pond Loop and the Old Farm Clearing Trail; the routes that penetrate into the deep backcountry tend to stretch the stamina of many people and therefore see much less use, despite their suitability.
Designated campsites are scattered throughout the area, although the observant visitor may find the actual number of physical campsites in the field to be higher than the official number of sites approved by DEC. Always be on the lookout for the markers indicating the “designated” sites and avoid those that aren’t so marked. There are currently five lean-tos scattered along the trail system, a number that may or may not get winnowed down to three or four someday – state land managers have never been willing to commit to the removal of the two shelters they say should be removed, and thus they may yet remain after all.
A mini-campground of sorts exists near the canoe launch at Thirteenth Lake, the only one of its kind in a designated wilderness area; with several walk-in sites accessible from a graded path, it excels at convenience over isolation. The sites are available for free on a first-come basis.
For paddlers, the best option is Thirteenth Lake. The graded campground path mentioned above also leads to a sand beach where boats may be hand-launched, and the entire lake can be explored comfortably within a matter of hours. By contrast, only guests of the Cabins at Chimney Mountain rental facility may launch canoes and kayaks on Kings Flow, the next largest lake in the area. And paddlers seeking out any of the area’s myriad other ponds will need to contend with lengthy trail portages.
Special note should be made of the Indian Lake shoreline, which is technically part of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness but also managed as the Indian Lake Islands Campground. Like any of DEC’s other developed campgrounds, these sites can be reserved for a fee during the summer months. The caveat is that they are boat-accessible only. Canoes and kayaks will do, but paddlers must contend with the fact that Indian is a large and sometimes windy lake.
This part of the Adirondacks escaped the twentieth-century scourge of acid rain, and most of the fisheries have survived unimpaired. Not every pond is a trout pond, but none were rendered lifeless by pollution.
The Siamese Ponds Wilderness also has a long history with hunting. Because so much of the modern trail system is based on the old wagon road network, it was once common for backcountry hunting clubs to hire teamsters – i.e. local farmers – to haul in their gear to remote campsites. In theory this form of access is still authorized, but in practice it fell from prominence many years ago when the hunters grew old and local residents ceased being farmers. Some of the traditional campsites still exist, however, even if it is unclear how frequently many of them are now used.
Despite its human history, the Siamese Ponds Wilderness is not regarded as particularly threatened today. Its forests are healthy, and its waterways were not acidified. Recreation levels seem to be moderate, and while instances of misuse can be found if one looks hard enough, the same could be said of almost anyplace.
One outstanding management issue is the status of a snowmobile trail that cuts a corner through the southernmost tip of the wilderness. The route follows in part an active town road leading to a tiny inholding, which will remain so long as the inholding exists. Alternate routes for the snowmobile trail exist, but approval to build such a detour is dependent on completion of a management plan for the neighboring Wilcox Lake Wild Forest – a document that has been decades in the making, with nothing yet to show for the effort.
Much of the wilderness boundary follows natural features, such as the shore of Indian Lake or the banks of the Sacandaga River. These are effective boundaries against motorized trespass, better than any barricade contrived by people. The opposite can be seen where the wilderness boundary is merely an arbitrary line blazed through the forest, adjacent to private property in areas that are difficult to patrol. Well-used ATV trails can be found penetrating the Siamese Ponds Wilderness in at least three such sites: one in the Big Range, one west of Crotched Pond, and one along the shore of Round Pond.
Short of the state acquiring the Speculator Tree Farm in fee for the Forest Preserve, there is little opportunity for growth of this wilderness, other than the odd lot or inholding. The Siamese Ponds Wilderness is about as large as it will ever be. However, if access could be improved anywhere, it would be along the somewhat fragmented northern and northwestern boundaries, such as near Ruby Mountain or Crotched Pond. Famously, the state failed to acquire the north end of Kings Flow in the 1980s. Fortunately, though, trail access to Chimney Mountain and Puffer Pond has been maintained across private land.
The addition of the North Country Trail, which now traces an east-west course through the wilderness from Cisco to Halfway brooks, could alter visitor use patterns in the area. Curiously, the state completed this backpackers’ trail without adding any new campsites along the route. This could adversely affect the existing campsites at such scenic locations as Long Pond, Puffer Pond, and Elizabeth Point.
Cable crossings across the East Branch and its tributaries have long been an issue in the southern regions, where crossing the river is required to access the wilderness. Because the river can only be forded safely during low water levels, some visitors have strung cables from bank to bank as a means of getting across when the river is running high. The cables are not permitted under state land use regulations, but each time state officials remove them replacements appear within a short amount of time.

These maps of Johnsburg published in 1876 show the locations of residents in and around the eastern Siamese Ponds Wilderness. Sites labeled as belonging to Z. Van Dusen represent what is now known as Old Farm Clearing (near Thirteenth Lake) and Burnt Shanty Clearing (near Eleventh Mountain). Curtis Clearing can be found in Lot 143 to the west.

Part 4 of 4
It has been a slow process, but it has been a privilege to observe these changes over a twenty-year period. Now instead of imagining the future, I can plot the course of the forest by remembering what it was and seeing what it is becoming. The results will be marvelous.
The good news is that my explorations are far from over. Bella is adapting to the undemanding life of a canoe dog, reopening the possibility for more water-based trips in the near future. But Whitney’s potential as a hiking destination has also started to intrigue me. There are two trip ideas planned for later in 2020: a multi-night circumnavigation of the entire lake, part of it by trail and part of it a short bushwhack, and the investigation of two unnamed hills that appear to have bald spots, remnants of a century-old forest fire.
And for me, this is entirely the point: the pleasure in remembering trips from years ago, the thrill of being so inspired by a place to which I never stop returning.
After such a long wait I can therefore say, without the risk of hyperbole, the possibility the year may end without genuine negotiations between the owner of Whitney Park’s remaining acreage and state officials is upsetting. Whitney Park is so well endowed with attractive features – and so centrally located within a growing network of public land that didn’t even exist the year I was born – its potential value for public recreation and wildland preservation cannot be understated. Everyone who loves the outdoors would lose if New York was unable to secure a purchase agreement, now or in the near future.
The illegal introduction of bass into Little Tupper has been cited as one reason for the owner’s hesitance to sell, although as I’ve already stated the Whitneys’ long stewardship of the land, while admirable, was itself less than immaculate. “Locking up” the land with a wilderness designation has been another excuse, but more members of the public visit the William C. Whitney Wilderness today than the adjacent Whitney Park, which is “locked up” by thousands of yellow signs posted all along the boundary line. These arguments don’t follow any line of reasoning I can understand or defend.
On the other hand, the status of a few substantial buildings in a couple far-flung corners of the park may be worth discussing. But here the solution is simple: carve these out as separate properties, independent of the remaining forest, with the associated access roads – limited to the minimum necessary mileage – conveyed to Hamilton County and the town of Long Lake as public highways. The balance of the land, in all its wild glory, would then be ripe for inclusion in the Forest Preserve.
This would open an exquisite resource, blemishes and all, to the public to the first time in 123 years. We have all waited long enough! Anyone can open a web browser and view satellite images of what’s at stake: dozens of undeveloped lakes and ponds, miles of streams, the open-rock summit of Salmon Lake Mountain. It’s a property that would offer something for everybody, just by virtue of its size and relative accessibility from Route 30.
Whitney Park is a prime candidate for state acquisition, and the Forest Preserve seems distinctly incomplete without it. For twenty-two years I have been highly grateful of what George Pataki and Marylou Whitney started; now it would be an expression of hope and optimism for the future if we worked to fulfill that vision and keep this place wild.

Socialplug is the fastest growing social media shop selling social media engagements like Instagram followers, Twitter likes & retweets and many more. Socialplug is thriving to become the #1 social media shop in the world.
About the Brand
The Fastest Growing Store Selling Social Media Engagement
New & small businesses are struggling to grow social proof for their businesses because either they don't have enough followers or likes on their social media profiles. This is where Socialplug steps in, providing you all kinds of social proof you need to kickstart your online business.
Today Socialplug works mostly with B2B, SMMA-s and white labeling clients.
Socialplug first reached out to us in june 2022, at a time when their business was only making four figures/month.
After the discovery call, our team proposed a 12 month marketing campaign which included SEO (linkbuilding & on-page SEO) and Content Creation.
Google Ads Issues
Socialplug had experimented with Google Ads but quickly got to a conclusion that this kind of business can't be promoted with Google AD-s due to issues with violating major social media platform's terms & service.
- Can only run AD-s for Twitter Engagement: Twitter was the only platform they could target their Google AD-s on.
- Warnings from Google AD-s - As this business is violating terms & services for most of the social media platforms, we quickly had to figure out a way to reach potential customers.
Poor Search Engine Optimization
Their website was not optimised for Google Search which resulted in no organic traffic.
- Poor on-page SEO - The website wasn't indexed for all relevant keywords.
- Unoptimised Images - This caused extremely slow loading speed
- No link building - This resulted in not getting any traffic.
- Blog articles with poor structure - Articles need the correct structure to rank on Google Search.
- A very competetive market - To beat competitors in this kind of niche, we had to target longtail keywords and rank them #1 on Google search to scale the business to five figures. This allowed us to allocate more funds to SEO.
Lack of Creative Content
- They did not have any creative content except for copy pasted images from Google.
1. Rebranding and on-page SEO
Socialplug was in need for rework and branding. Adsellr stepped in and created a new design alongside with on-page SEO report and implementation, internal linking & anchor text strategy.
2. Link Building & HVC
Once we had finished the anchor text strategy, we quickly started acquiring the same backlinks as the competitors. We helped Socialplug with backlink outreach & communication, writing relevant guest posts and published them.
In Addition used HVC strategy to outrank high authority competitors within weeks for keywords like "Buy Twitter Followers"
3. Content Creation
We produced 5 high quality user generated Youtube videos from different Youtube accounts for Socialplug which were SEO optimized and are getting organic traffic to this day.
4. Social Proof
Within the first months we saw huge growth in revenue thanks to the content marketing and PR (sponsored posts on high authority news sites). After giving Socialplug the social proof they needed, we quickly saw other Youtubers mentioning Socialplug in their videos.
We Partnered Up With Influencers
Monthly Revenue (6th month)
Referring Domains Acquired
At the end of the 6th month, we had increased the revenue by 4 times, getting from $5k per month to $101k per month.
x7 Page loading time reduction
Improved Google Search Ranking
350+ High Authority Links
Increased organic traffic by 1253% from 0 to 3500 visitors per month.
Branded Content marketing
Added a new organic sales channel from Youtube.

L’Affenage can be explained in the same way as all the farms in the region. It offers you its rooms and its restaurant.
Discover here a warm establishment, entirely renovated and adjoining the castle of Blier; the Affenage proposes today its rooms, refined and “cosy”, as well as a gastronomic restaurant.

Razor clams (Navajas) are long, slender clams with a wonderfully rich flavor and firm texture. These perfectly cleaned clams are hand-harvested and then hand-packed in their own seawater. We eat them straight out of the can. You can also warm them in a skillet with garlic and extra virgin olive oil, or for some novelty we suggest you lightly grill them
Navajas razor clams are a distinctive delicacy from the cool waters in Galicia. These long slender clams have a rich flavor and firm texture, distinguishing them from most other clams. They are found on the sandy beaches of the Rias, or tidal rivers of Galicia. They are dug out by hand and stored in sea water until they are cleaned of sand. They are then carefully cooked then packed by hand in brine.
- Ingredients: Razor clams (4-6 clams per tin), water, and salt.100 % natural.
- Weight: 111g in a metal tin. | <urn:uuid:04076c5a-1996-447e-8051-dfea69aa70cb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://afishionado.ca/product/gourmet-razor-clams-in-brine/ | 2023-09-28T17:20:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.943194 | 210 |
Three months after its opening, the French railways forum is being concluded today. AFRA (l’Association Française du Rail) warmly welcomes this initiative, which, if the wishes of the Ministers for the Environment and Transport are to be respected, should lead to a root and branch reform of the French railway system.
The forum’s specialised committees (competition and social issues, governance, economy and finance, industry) have identified four major challenges:
- Governance of the French railway system must be reformed, simplified and rationalised;
- Competitive tendering for regional train services (TET – trains d’équilibre du territoire) must be introduced in 2014;
- Priority must be given to restoring the overall economic viability of the railways;
- A harmonised and competitive set of working conditions must be defined.
These conclusions lend weight to the views constantly expressed by AFRA, which, since its inception, has supported moves to liberalise the railway market in France within the framework of healthy, fair and regulated competition.
AFRA nevertheless wishes to restate a number of essential principles on which it believes an effective and lasting reform of the French railways must be based:
- As an extension of the reform initiated in 1997, AFRA advocates placing all the skills and resources directly related to infrastructure (SNCF Infra, Gares & Connexions and the DCF) under the authority of the infrastructure management body in order to improve the quality of paths. An independent regulatory authority with financial independence and wide-ranging powers should ensure that all rail operators enjoy non-discriminatory access to the rail network.
- Liberalisation of all domestic rail services (TER, TET and main line services) should be initiated without delay for the benefit of all stakeholders. In this respect, AFRA calls for the repeal of Article 18 of the Loti legislation, which grants the incumbent operator a monopoly on the transport of passengers by rail in France. For TET trains, it sincerely hopes that an inter-ministerial task force shall enable this target to be met in 2014.
- The financial situation of the national railways, carrying debt of €40 billion and generating an annual deficit of €1 billion, must be rapidly consolidated. AFRA calls for the introduction of multi-annual financing arrangements for infrastructure and licensed rail services.
- The new market entrants call for the introduction of a harmonised set of working conditions, taking due account of the economic constraints of railway transport. AFRA calls for negotiations within the joint national committee of social partners, bringing together the UTP and the social partners, to draft an industry-wide national collective agreement on passenger transport by rail.
With 70% of French people in favour of liberalisation, AFRA expects the government to announce a precise legislative and regulatory timetable and start work without delay on the implementation of the forum’s recommendations.
In addition, AFRA expresses its surprise at the critical comments on the liberalisation of the rail freight market by Minister Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet in her closing statement to the forum: “counter-model”, ”a good example of what not to do”. Such comments in no way reflect the experience of the new entrants, their employees and their customers.
The new operators on the rail freight market have seen rapid growth of their market share since market liberalisation was initiated in 2005. In 2011, their market share stands at 20% – a development that has kept on the rail network traffic, which, in the absence of suitable alternatives, would have been lost to road haulage. A further proportion of overall traffic (between 25% and 50% in 2011) has been clawed back from road haulage in a genuine modal transfer.
Although liberalisation of the rail freight market has taken place against a difficult backdrop (economic crisis, run-down infrastructure and inadequate path quality), its shortcomings cannot be ascribed to increased competition. While market liberalisation was not properly prepared in terms of labour relations, the lost ground has since been made up by the negotiation of industry-wide agreements within the framework of a constructive social dialogue between the UTP and the Trade Unions. These agreements have been approved by the Board of UTP, of which SNCF is a member.
AFRA interprets the Minister’s critical comments as an implicit recognition that such unforeseen shortcomings are due to the inadequate preparation for market liberalisation by SNCF.
L’Association Française du Rail (AFRA
Founded in March 2009, AFRA (l'Association Française du Rail) brings together railway companies, which consider that the French market for freight and passenger transport will only be able to develop fully within an open, competitive and regulated market.
AFRA currently has the following railway companies among its members:

Life’s full-circle moments are always a cause for celebration, even when you’re one of the best players to ever grace the NBA.
Allen Iverson has never shied away from being a trendsetter, both on and off the court.
According to Deadline, the NBA Hall of Famer has inked a new position with Authentic Brands Group (ABG) to help grow its footprint in entertainment.
Why This Is Monumental
As previously reported by AfroTech, Iverson managed to secure the opportunity of a lifetime during his days in the league.
Thanks to a previous deal with Reebok, he is locked in with the brand for life.
Oddly enough, ABG acquired the athletic wear company in 2022.
Per reports, the Virginia native could ultimately receive a $32 million pay day on his 55th birthday thanks to the Reebok endorsement, originally signed in 2001.
Additionally, Iverson receives an annual check of $800,000 as a result of the lucrative deal.
The New Partnership
Now, the saga continues as Iverson will help the company to develop opportunities across the entertainment, endorsement and strategic partnership spaces.

“Authentic and I share a commitment to being number one and accepting nothing less,” said Iverson, Deadline reports. “Our shared values and their relentless drive to disrupt the branding industry make Authentic the ideal partner to take my brand to the next level.”
When Iverson first joined the league in 1996 as a first-round, No. 1 draft pick for the Philadelphia 76ers, he hit the ground running and hasn’t let up ever since.
His nickname, “The Answer,” was given to him long before he made it to the NBA, yet today Iverson continues to have the perfect response for ways to push the culture forward.
As a pioneer for the marriage between mainstream hip-hop and professional basketball, Iverson is not only one of the greatest basketball players to have ever touch the court, but he single handedly changed the NBA as we know it forever.
The Legacy Continues
Beyond just the game, Iverson has become a cultural icon and an influence and inspiration to today’s generation of NBA stars.
“He represented what Black kids were all about, and he resonated with every inner-city kid in the world who had a struggle,” LeBron James once told Sports Illustrated. “Michael Jordan inspired me, and I looked up to him, but he was out of this world. AI was really the god.” | <urn:uuid:afab492e-01cb-4dae-834e-66a36ef0767c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://afrotech.com/allen-iverson-lifetime-partnership-with-reebok-to-continues-in-abg-deal | 2023-09-28T16:37:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966742 | 546 |

Rep. Pete Aguilar Fights for Increased Water Protections Amid Drought
Last night, Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA-31) took to the House floor to fight for increased quality and integrity protections for California water. He offered an amendment to H.R. 1732, the Regulatory Integrity Protection Act of 2015, a bill that would rollback the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to protect waterways from pollution. Rep. Aguilar’s amendment requires that the new rules included in the bill protect the quality and integrity of water used for the public’s drinking supply, drought mitigation, agriculture, and coastal flooding from hurricanes or super storms.
“This motion is simple. It requires the Army Corps and the EPA to ensure that important surface waters and wetlands are protected during the new rulemaking process this bill starts. This motion requires that the quality of public water supplies be protected. Around the country we have seen drinking water sources contaminated, like the algal bloom in Lake Erie that forced Toledo, Ohio to use bottled water,” said Rep. Aguilar. He continued, “In California, the historic drought has reduced many surface waters to stagnant pools of water. Seven million Californians rely on these streams for their drinking water. We need to make sure these drinking water sources are protected to keep families and communities healthy.”
Rep. Aguilar is a member of the House Committee on Agriculture. | <urn:uuid:db193d3f-8a7f-46d1-a9c1-a93b4b32027a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://aguilar.house.gov/2015/05/13/rep-pete-aguilar-fights-increased-water-protections-amid-drought/ | 2023-09-28T17:01:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.951658 | 290 |

The beleaguered city Board of Elections frustrated some of the relatively few New Yorkers who chose to cast their ballots in Tuesday’s primary contests — with one voter calling the often bumbling body an “absolute embarrassment.”
Along with at least two Republicans being given the wrong party’s ballots, several Democrats and GOP members who participated in the races at 1,200 locations across the five boroughs were not able to enter them at 6 a.m., when they were scheduled to open.
Spencer Mestel, a freelance writer, told The Post on Tuesday afternoon that an elderly woman who used a walker was turned away in the wee hours because poll workers did not yet have a key to a Brooklyn balloting site.
“We showed up to the poll site in Brooklyn, we showed up at 5 a.m. … and there was no key,” he said. “The police officer on site didn’t have a key, the Board of Elections didn’t give [the site coordinator] a key, I watched her call the Board of Election multiple times … [but] no one helped us.”
Mestel, who has served as an election worker in the Big Apple since 2012, said the building’s superintendent unlocked the door and let workers and voters in at 7:30 a.m. — more than two hours after election workers first arrive and 90 minutes after voters were slated to be able to begin casting their ballots.
He explained that this wasn’t the first time a poll site he worked at launched late due to lack of access.
“This has happened at almost every site I’ve gone to. It’s never been this bad, but there’s almost always a problem getting a key,” said Mestel.
The Tuesday morning snafus were part of a pattern of BOE conduct, he said.
“We just continued calling people and no one helped us, but when the site is up and running, the district leader stops by … the Assembly district monitor stops by,” said the veteran election worker.
“When things are going well, people are happy to come visit, but when we needed help, nobody showed up, and I would say that is habitual to the board. That is almost always my experience with them.”
Further south in Brooklyn, early-rising voters were not able to register their preferences in the gubernatorial, lieutenant governor, and state Assembly races at the time they had planned to do so.
“It’s 6:30 AM on election day and my poll site at PS 15 in Red Hook is not open because @BOENYC has not brought them equipment and they don’t know how long it will be. Voters are getting turned away,” tweeted Molly Moser.
And at PS 22 in Crown Heights, early-rising New Yorkers weren’t able to vote before work due to a “technical emergency,” according to a photo shared on Twitter by activist and writer Stephen Lurie.
“45+ minutes after polls open, this is what’s outside where I’m supposed to vote,” he tweeted alongside a picture of a cardboard sign that read “technical emergency! PS 22 voting will open ASAP. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
“@BOENYC continues to be an absolute embarrassment,” he added.
“I left and came back in afternoon to vote and it was fine but I’m lucky to have that flexibility,” he told The Post Tuesday evening, noting that when he arrived at the poll site about 6:40 a.m., he saw two improvised signs posted and five people “milling around” while waiting to vote.
In an earlier follow-up post, he seethed, “Far poorer cities in far poorer countries regularly run efficient elections where everyone can vote.”
“The politicians and cronies of New York City and the state *choose* our local democracy to be this bad.”
In Queens, early birds were also turned away.
Councilman Shekar Krishnan (D- Queens) notified the BOE on social media that a voting site was moved from one street to another without the body’s website reflecting the relocation.
“This needs to be fixed before the evening rush,” he wrote.
Others also complained that their polling locations had been changed without the BOE informing them of the swap.
“Thanks @BOENYC for changing my polling place without notifying me. Turnout was already gonna be great today,” said Reed Dunlea in a sarcastic Twitter post.
In response, a BOE official insisted late Tuesday that Election Day had gone “very smoothly” and that all voters were sent information with the accurate poll sites listed.
“If a human error occurs, it’s regretful and, in large measure, we correct immediately,” said Vinny Ignizio, the board’s deputy executive director. “All told, we’ll run eight elections this year and this primary election has run very smoothly.”
Most recently, last year’s Democratic mayoral primary was thrown into a state of chaos when first-round lead holder, then-Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, and others noted that preliminary results released in the afternoon showed 941,832 votes were cast for the Democratic mayoral nomination — a significant increase from the 799,827 ballots counted on primary day.
The BOE then issued a statement citing an “irregularity” before pulling down the vote tallies from its website. It later explained that the discrepancy was caused by accidentally including about 130,000 “test” results in the vote count.
Still, Adams shortly after came to the defense of the bungling board, saying during a TV appearance in July that its workers “did a great job” and that everyone “makes mistakes.”
But last year’s BOE performance, though particularly glaring, was not a complete anomaly.
The board admitted to violating election laws by purging 200,000 voters from its rolls ahead of the 2016 presidential primary. That year, 20 percent of trained poll workers didn’t show up to work on Election Day.
In November 2018, high election day humidity rendered its new, $56 million scanners inoperable.
And during the 2020 presidential primaries, the board disqualified 80,000 ballots, because officials weren’t ready to handle the increase in mailed votes cast due to in-person voting concerns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
That year, the BOE bungled key components of its early voting program, including allocating ballot scanners without taking demand into consideration and stuffing so many voters into voting sites that it overwhelmed its system, The Post reported.
On Tuesday, a pair of New York City election sites told voters they didn’t have Republican ballots for New York’s primary race. One voter, Ed Gavin, 62, arrived at his Bronx polling site in Spuyten Duyvil around 8:15 a.m. to cast his vote for GOP gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino but after checking in with a poll worker, he was handed a Democratic ballot instead, he previously told The Post.
Ahead of Election Day, turnout in the Democratic and Republican primaries was anemic in the Big Apple during the first gubernatorial primary since early voting began in New York, according to BOE figures.
Just 87,000 of the 3.6 million registered Democrats and Republicans cast ballots during the nine days of early voting — just 2.4 percent, the board’s data shows.

Mayor Eric Adams announced Friday that the Big Apple will spend $35 million to help convert unused train tracks in Queens into a park — a plan critics say could prevent restoring transit service to the area.
The funds will pay for the design and construction of the first phase of the estimated $150 million QueensWay project, which boosters say will transform a deserted 3.5-mile stretch of railroad into a network of green spaces and bike and pedestrian paths spanning from Rego Park to Ozone Park.
“Queens Way improves quality of life, it improves the air quality,” said Adams at a photo opportunity announcing the funding. “It promotes both physical and mental well-being, and it gives more visibility to businesses on the route, so this is an economic stimulus as well.”
Hizzoner’s remarks did not mention that the plan was one of two being considered by City Hall.
The other proposal called for the reuse of old local tracks originally built as part of the Long Island Rail Road’s Rockaway Beach Branch.
Transit advocates and several local Queens politicians have long dreamed of electrifying and reusing the tracks to bring subway service to the transit-starved local neighborhoods and expand the number of trains serving JFK Airport and the Rockaways.
“This is a big mistake,” state Sen. Jessica Ramos (D-Queens) said of the city’s current plan. “There’s no reason why we have to choose between public transit and green space.
“Honestly, I don’t think the city should be making any of these decisions without a comprehensive public review,” she added.
Ramos was among the dozen-plus Queens politicians who signed a letter demanding the MTA formally study the second plan — known as QueensLink.
It would use the tracks to extend the M train from the Queens Boulevard subway to Liberty Avenue, where it would merge with Rockaway-bound A trains running along the Fulton Street subway line.
The parts of the right-of-way not used by the subway extension would be converted into parks, though it would create less green space than Adams’ favored QueensWay plan.
Adams left the event before the other elected officials finished speaking, making it impossible for reporters to ask him questions.
Deputy Mayor Meera Joshi, who remained at the presser after Adams left, told reporters when quizzed about the apparent lack of a subway option that the city would redo its design work and potentially change course during construction if the MTA moves ahead with the subway expansion.
MTA spokesman Eugene Resnick later told The Post in an e-mail, “Nothing in the City’s plan for QueensWay will impact any future MTA transportation initiatives.”
Another prominent Queens politician, Borough President Donovan Richards, used his speech at the announcement to specifically call on the MTA to launch the subway study just minutes after Adams announced millions of dollars to back a design with no such provisions.
“We know that much of Queens remains a transit desert as well, with no subway access and limited and often poor bus service,” he said. “We need to do both when it comes to making sure that we can enhance our public transportation and also ensuring that our communities have access to open space.”
An engineering analysis funded by two councilmen’s offices and conducted by supporters of the subway extension pegged the price for the project at $3.4 billion to $3.7 billion. A previous MTA estimate put the cost at a whopping $8 billion. | <urn:uuid:de579e5c-1766-4d16-a7fa-9479112c7b02> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://airqualityindex.org/nyc-converting-unused-tracks-into-queens-park/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.949822 | 737 |

A Greek archeologist has claimed to have unearthed the palace of the legendary Odysseus on the island of Ithaca in the Ionian Sea.
Thanasis Papadopulos, who has been carrying out excavations on the Greek hero's home island for 16 years, said he had discovered the remains of a three-storey palace and a well, which date back to the 13th century BC, which is when the Trojan war, described in Homer's Iliad, is believed to have taken place.
Similar wells have been unearthed in Mycenae, 90 kilometers southwest of Athens, and in Tiryns on the Peloponnese Peninsula, the two centers of the Mycenaean civilization, which flourished between 1600 BC and 1100 BC.
The remains matched the description of Odysseus's palace in Homer's Odyssey, reputedly written around the 8th century BC, Papadopulos said.
Ithaca Mayor Spiros Arsenis said Papadopulos's excavation is easily one of the most important discoveries in modern archeology.
In the late 19th century, German Archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered what were believed to be the remains of Troy a few kilometers from the Strait of Dardanelles, in present-day Turkey.
The Iliad describes the final year of the Trojan War, focusing on the exploits of the Greek hero Achilles. Its sequel, the Odyssey, details the adventures of Odysseus as he returns to his home on Ithaca after the fall of Troy.

Arthritis: when antibodies go haywire
Arthritis is a chronic and systemic inflammatory disease of autoimmune origin. The disease is triggered by a malfunction of the immune system, which at any point in life, even during youth, goes "haywire" or loses its balance and attacks the joints, particularly the cartilage, as if they were foreign bodies to be rejected, like a virus or an infection to fight against. Antibodies, which usually defend our body, attack its tissues, probably in response to antigens produced by the body, causing joint damage that can sometimes lead to serious harm in a very short span of time. All joints can be affected: the spine, hands, lower limbs, shoulders, and even facial joints. Arthritis is more frightening than arthosis, mainly because it can also happen at a young age and in a very aggressive and devastating way, leading to severe functional deficits in a very short period. When the arthritis occurs in a severe form, it leads to have to modify the work and leisure activities, as well as reduce or stop any physical activities.
Types and Symptoms
There are various types of arthritis. Besides rheumatoid arthritis, which is the most known form, there is gouty arthritis or gout, caused by the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints, leading to a swelling called "tophi," affecting the area of the big toe, particularly in men. Another common type is psoriatic arthritis, affecting individuals with psoriasis in the joints of the fingers.
The main symptoms of arthritis include pain, swelling, redness, and stiffness in the joints, indicating inflammation of the joints, much like for arthrosis. This is why the two conditions are often mistaken and confused, even though they have different features.
The most known form of arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis, a systemic disease, that can affect various organs and systems besides the joints, causing serious complications and worsen prognosis.
At the diagnostic level, it can be identified by the presence of specific antibodies in the serum. The most significant of these antibodies are Rheumatoid Factor (present in about 80% of cases) and Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (present in 60-80% of cases, with a specificity of 98%). The latter is particularly important because it can be present in the early stages of the disease, even before joint inflammation becomes evident, and it indicates a higher likelihood of developing significant damages.
Arthritis versus Artrosis
When faced with joint pain, especially if it affects the whole body, the first question to ask oneself is whether it is arthrosis or arthritis. Unfortunately, one condition doesn't exclude the other, so both forms can coexist, complicating the symptoms and the ability to move.
Arthrosis is a form of joint degeneration hat primarily affects the joint lining, i.e., the cartilage. The degeneration is caused by five main factors: heredity (family predisposition), age (aging of the joints), lifestyle (lack of physical activity and obesity trigger arthrosis that might otherwise remain silent), diet (overweight and consumption of foods that trigger cartilage damage and ultimately wear and tear due to repeated movements of a specific joint).
Arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the cartilage, mistakenly identified as a foreign body. The immune system, at any point in life and without a known triggering cause, loses its balance and starts attacking joint cartilage as if it were foreign bodies to be fought, causing significant damages.
Arthrosis and arthritis: two different conditions
Commonly, these two terms are often used almost interchangeably, but refer to two different diseases. It is important to know the difference for a better diagnostic approach. Let's see the main differences.
What Causes Arthrosis?
- Age-related: initial symptoms can appear around age 40-45, due to joint ageing.
- Hereditary: family predisposition is a major risk factor for developing the disease.
- Widely prevalent: in Italy alone, over 5 million people are affected by arthrosis.
- Affects more women.
- Affects certain body parts mainly fingers, wrists, knees, and hips.
- Not necessarily disabling: it can become disabling, unless it is not properly dealt with (timeliness and a lifestyle change are crucial).
What Causes Arthritis?
- Not age-related: it can affect at any age, even during youth.
- Not hereditary.
- Less prevalent: around 350,000 people in Italy are affected by rheumatoid arthritis.
- Affects both men and women.
- Affects all body parts: arthritis can damage shoulders, spine, lower limbs, and face.
- A disabling disease: associated with a high risk of disability and a reduced average lifespan
Arthritis Causes and Remedies
As mentioned, arthritis can occur at any point in life due to causes not always known. However, some evidences suggest that individuals with immune deficiencies, fatigue, emotional stress, chronic anxiety, or exposure to chronic stressors are more inclined. In addition to stress, certain viral infections like herpes and smoking can also trigger it.
Regarding the treatments, there aren’t unfortunately cures for arthritis that can get the immune system back to his function. Moreover, the drugs used for the pain and inflammation have severe side effects, especially when used for a long time. However, there are natural remedies that can reduce symptoms and delay the disease progression. Just like with arthrosis, an anti-inflammatory diet and the use of specific joint supplements are essential for reducing joint inflammation.
In case of joint stiffness and to preserve muscle tone, it is important to seek professional help. Specialized physiotherapy helps improve joint mobility, increase muscle strength, and generally reduce pain. | <urn:uuid:6fdbad80-7bb7-47bf-bbdf-95d3ee9af1cb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://algosfree.com/en/blogs/news/artrosi-e-artrite-differenze-e-correlazioni | 2023-09-28T18:47:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.95094 | 1,209 |

The ancient Olympic Games were originally a festival, or celebration, of and for Zeus; events such as a footrace, a javelin contest, and wrestling matches were added later. The Olympic Games were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of city-states and one of the Panhellenic Games of ancient Greece.
They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythological origin. The first Olympics is traditionally dated to 776 BC. They continued to be celebrated when Greece came under Roman rule, until the emperor Theodosius I stopped them in AD 393 as part of the campaign to make Christianity as the State religion of Rome.
The games were held every four years, or Olympiad, which became a unit of time in historical chronologies.
During the celebration of the games, an Olympic Truce was made so that athletes could travel from their cities to the games in safety. The prizes for the victors were olive leaf wreaths or crowns.
The games became a political tool used by city-states to assert dominance over their rivals. Politicians would announce political alliances at the games, and in times of war, priests would offer sacrifices to the gods for victory.
The games were also used to help spread Hellenistic culture throughout the Mediterranean. The Olympics also featured religious celebrations. The statue of Zeus at Olympia was counted as one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Sculptors and poets would come together each Olympiad to display their works of art to would-be customers.
The ancient Olympics had fewer events than the modern games, by the time of the Classical Greek culture, in the fifth and fourth centuries BC, the games were restricted to male participants and only freeborn Greek men were allowed to participate, although there were victorious women chariot owners. As long as they met the entrance criteria, athletes from any Greek city-state and kingdom were allowed to participate.
The games were always held at Olympia rather than moving between different locations as is the practice with the modern Olympic Games. Victors at the Olympics were honored, and their feats recorded for future generations.
The only competition held then was the stadion race, a race over about 190 metres (620 feet), measured after the feet of Hercules. The word stadium is derived from this foot race.

Hello! I asked too many questions regarding "independent providers PMHNP", no any response. I know this is a very small number of NP's in NY that work as "independent providers" and I don't anticipate a lot of responses, but if there are any psychiatry nurse practitioners out there, can you please tell me more about what you do? May be some of you work with "pain management" clinics/ offices/other practitioners in collaboration.
The optimal way to treat chronic pain is through a multidisciplinary pain clinic, using a team approach offering physical therapy, psychological support, and appropriate pain medications. Such facilities are rare, and not surprisingly, a significant number of chronic pain sufferers are from low-income groups.
Do you like what you do?
What career pathway did you take to get to where you are now?
Do you see a growing need for PMHNP in primary care, that work as independent provider?
How is your relationship with MDs?
What difficulties in autonomy do you have in your practice?
What don't you like about about what you do? If you had the power to change something about your work, what would it be?
How much stress do you feel? Do you feel like you have enough down time?
Do you feel like you have a natural talent for this type of work, or was it something that you developed over time?

Who doesn’t love lounging around on the patio of your own home and watching the sky shift colors as the sun sets? Because we sure do! But there is one nuisance that seems to ruin the atmosphere.
No one wants to spend much time outdoors anymore because of pesky bugs flying around your head and buzzing in your ear. So it’s good that there is now a solution for that.
Bugs are generally attracted to light.
They are somehow drawn to anything bright and glowing. But, so far, there has been no discovery of a light that repels bugs altogether.
However, lights or light colors do not attract so much. A few examples are LED fairy lights, lanterns, yellow compact fluorescent lights, Edison lamps, rope lights, yellow bug lights, and halogen bulb lights with yellow tints.
Your patio needs good lighting that does not attract too many flying pests, so you can enjoy the space and make the most out of your patio experience the way it was meant to be enjoyed. You must know the difference between the types of lights that we mentioned before, especially if you do not like spraying insect repellant sprays all the time.
Without further delay, this post will give you the relevant information that you need about patio lights.
Table of Contents
Best place for patio lights
Before anything else, we also would like to share some tips about the optimal locations for patio lights. Of course, you would not want to put more lights in an already well-lit area. These lights best serve their purpose in dim and dark areas.
You also want to ensure that it won’t hinder people’s everyday movement wherever you put them.
The spot where you will put your lights will also help you decide the wattage of the bulb or, in other words, how bright you want the lights to be.
You want the lights to not be at eye level so the glow won’t hit directly into people’s eyes. It’s irritating and not to mention damaging to the sight.
Something we’d like for you to remember: place lights with low voltage less than two feet from the floor. The ones with standard voltage should be put up at more than seven feet and be angled towards the walkway or the floor.
Types of lights
Incandescent bulbs are outdated even to be considered, but we still want to include them here. The energy consumption of incandescent bulbs isn’t efficient at all. That’s why a lot of countries have stopped using it. Light is produced by heating a thin wire filament that gives the bulb its glow. This kind of light bulb emits primarily infrared light and attracts insects. Entomologists use it to capture insects for experimental purposes.
Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)
Compared to incandescent bulbs, CFLs are more efficient in energy consumption. Mercury is used for the UV light mechanism and then transformed by a fluorescent phosphor coat into a visible light frequency spectrum. The quality of the glow is directly related to the quality of the light itself. Though this kind may be less attractive to flies, it is also not commonly used anymore because of its mercury content, making it a hazardous waste when disposed of.
Light-Emitting Diode Lamps
LED lights are the new trend today. Powered by electricity and consisting of semiconductors, these kinds of light bulbs are generally more energy-efficient, long-lasting, and less expensive. In addition, there is a wide range of light wavelengths that LED lights can give off.
Do LED lights attract bugs?
It’s still unclear whether LEDs are more or less attractive to bugs compared to the previous two kinds we mentioned.
But researchers noticed that emissions of short wavelengths attract more flies than those with long wavelengths. For example, white LEDs are less likely to attract bugs. But blue and green colors, which have shorter wavelengths, tend to be more attractive to bugs than yellow and orange hues.
Here is a chronological list of the color spectrum of light wavelengths starting from the shortest to the longest:
- Ultraviolet – invisible
- Infrared – invisible
While most insects are drawn to shorter wavelengths, mosquitoes are the exemption. Instead, these predatory hunters rely on infrared light to find food.
More about wavelength later in this article.
Insects that love the light
Most crawling insects are afraid of the light, like cockroaches and some worms. However, the winged ones have a solid affinity for it. Phototaxis is a term used to define a particular organism’s reaction or bodily response to light. An organism has a positive phototaxis if drawn toward the light and a negative phototaxis if repelled by it.
Moths are the perfect example of insects with positive phototaxis. They are naturally drawn to open flames and incandescent lights like beetles, earwigs, and stink bugs. But you should watch out for mosquitoes and other insects that are potential disease carriers.
According to a study dated back in 2017 by a group of biologists from Brazil, green lights are the most attractive to mosquitoes. First, they studied the affinity of Anopheles mosquitoes to different light wavelengths. This particular genus of mosquitoes is the number one carrier of deadly malaria. Then, they compared the attraction of mosquitoes to blue lights, green lights, and incandescent lights as a negative control. Out of the variables, the green light attracted the highest number of insects, followed by the blue lights, and lastly, the incandescent light had the lowest number of attracted mosquitoes.
Based on their discovery, we can conclude that blue and green lights should not be used as patio lights if you do not want a swarm of disease-carrying mosquitoes hanging around.
Biting Flies (Diptera)
Biting flies resemble the lifestyle of mosquitoes because they also feed on blood and are carriers of diseases transmitted via blood. Under the Diptera family are sandflies, black flies, tsetse flies, and midges.
These flies showed activity with UV light and wavelengths of blue and green. According to further research, their attraction also varied at certain times during the day and might be attributed to the insects’ circadian rhythm or their body clock. Still, it boils down to the fact that blue, green, and UV lights should not be used to lessen the tendency to attract these flies.
The different kinds of patio lights
The great thing about patio lights is that you can choose from many different styles and designs according to your taste. They come in the form of lanterns, Edison style, caged, color, string, globe, and even rattan-wrapped lights. They have a variety of color spectrums. They’re all ideal for patio use and even for decorative purposes for special events. We strongly recommend LED bulbs with a yellow to the white color range to minimize the swarming of bugs.
Fairy String Lights
Like Christmas lights, these strings of little lights are perfect if you’re going for a lowkey, starry feel on your patio. Others opt to hang them on trees, but they also go well on the wall or the railings of your balcony. These cute lights are excellent if you do not want an overwhelming amount of light in the area but just enough to provide a little brightness while still preserving the beauty of the night. A study from Pakistan revealed that 70% of flies and bugs tend to be more drawn to cool temperature lights, but only 8-10% percent are drawn to lights of warm colors.
Fairy lights have a lot of color variants. They also do not emit such an intense glow. Warm colors like yellow or white are the best ones. Even with the low-intensity brightness, it compensates for the area it can cover depending on the length of the string. There is an even distribution of subtle lighting throughout the area compared to other lights that are only concentrated on a particular part of the room. You can trust that flies won’t swarm around the bulbs as they do around bigger lamps. Make sure that the lights are LED.
Rope lights are almost similar to string lights in that the small light bulbs are also attached to a long chain and do not give off an intense light. However, the bulbs are enclosed in a plastic tube or a rope that protects them from getting moist or getting direct heat. But not all rope lights are LED. There are cheap ones that use incandescent bulbs with wires wrapped in rope. Unfortunately, these kinds radiate heat and are less energy-efficient than LED-type bulbs. What’s worse, they also attract flies.
LED is the best choice when you want to go for rope lights. Even though it costs more, they are safer and consume less power. Just like fairy lights, you can also choose from various colors. Still, we recommend warm colors to reduce bug attraction. In addition, the wires of rope lights are bendable, so you can use them to accent a wall or a column on your patio.
LED Lantern Lights
When it comes to large decorative lights, lanterns are also popular. In this case, the primary light source is enclosed inside a colored piece of paper and formed into a round shape to be hung from above. Primarily intended for outdoor decor use, lanterns emit brighter lights. Other lanterns can even hold candles inside instead of light bulbs, but we would not recommend this because it has an unsafe side and may also attract moths and other bugs drawn to flames. Also, it’s best to avoid the cool white colors because they are attractive to bugs.
Versatility is also a key feature. Some LED lanterns are rechargeable via electricity or solar and are also portable, enabling you to take them for trips and outdoor activities like camping. Exposing the lanterns to direct sunlight for a couple of hours will recharge their batteries long enough to last throughout the night. They also come in various designs and shapes that you are free to choose from to fit the aesthetic of your area.
Compact Fluorescent Lights
Experts have this existing hypothesis that insects cannot see a yellow light. Their vision receptors can only sense UV, blue, and green light. Based on that theory, yellow light might be the most favorable color for CFLs.
The drawback with CFLs is the fragile design that makes them vulnerable to environmental conditions; therefore, they aren’t the optimal choice for outdoor use. When we talk about energy efficiency, cost, and lifespan, CFLs do not have much to offer. They only have an 8000-hour lifespan, a far cry from the 25,000-hour lifespan of LEDs.
They are much safer in an area without being hit by direct sunlight or getting wet from the rain. However, you may not be able to find a lot of these in the market because LEDs are getting more and more attention because of their practicality. Even if you opt for CFL, it would be a hassle to find a replacement bulb for it when it has reached the maximum length of its lifespan.
Edison bulbs may be good for you if you like to go old school. The conventional light bulb shape glass contains an LED bulb that can be in a warm white or yellowish-orange hue glow which isn’t that attractive to flies. Because of the larger size and LED technology used, this type costs a bit more than the previous styles we listed.
Often referred to as LED filament lamps, the new versions of Edison bulbs have a visible LED filament that is more efficient in energy consumption than the previous incandescent bulbs. The average lifespan can reach 15,000 hours, and light distribution is good.
Edison bulbs have that vintage feel, and the design is timeless. The intensity of the light is not as strong as a regular incandescent bulb, but in this case, they still radiate some heat which could mean infrared-attracted flies are most likely to gather around. They can be decorative lamps that you can hang by a string along with your backyard or patio. These are usually sturdy lamps that can survive changes in environmental conditions like rain and strong winds. The wires are also reliable, and the bulbs are of plastic material, not fragile like glass.
Yellow Bug Lights
These are just light bulbs with an intense yellow tint. Don’t let the name fool you. Manufacturers have claimed that these lights do not have any significant repellent action against bugs. A more accurate explanation would be that these types of lights are less attractive to bugs than other types.
Earwig bugs may not be dangerous insects, but they are still annoying. They like to hang out on people’s patios and porches in the evening, ruining the atmosphere of a peaceful night out. They have this forceps-like structure that grabs your hand and releases a foul odor when you crush them.
Bottomline, yellow bug lights won’t reduce the number of mosquitoes that will gather around your patio because these insects almost do not see intense yellow lights. They see better in infrared wavelength lights to see their prey. Other people are irritated by the yellow tint of bug lights, and if you’re one of those people, you don’t need to bother yourself much with these yellow bug lights because they’re almost ineffective.
Sodium vapor and halogen bulbs
Sodium vapor bulbs have low-pressure and high-pressure variants. It involves using sodium metal and trace amounts of neon or argon gas to produce light. This is the kind that you often see in street lights. Light is produced when the sodium gas is vaporized using a discharge tube, creating a yellow tint. Low-pressure sodium bulbs have built-in thermal insulation to maximize their efficiency and lifespan. The problem is that the disposal is a definite hazard. But it won’t be long before these lamps are replaced with LEDs.
On the other hand, Halogen lamps are a kind of incandescent light commonly used for creative purposes, so they typically emit a strong white glow. This tint is attractive to most insects, and it can only be reduced if you cover it with yellow-tinted glass. While most halogen lamps are intended for indoor use, there are also ones that can be used outdoors if you ever opt for this kind of lamp for your patio. The difference is the protective casings that protect the lamp from environmental conditions.
Hanging your patio lights
Got your patio lights ready for installation? Now you might want to call up a friend or two to lend a helping hand because you will not be able to do this alone. Envision the perfect look you want to have for your patio. Do you want all the light to be concentrated in one area only, or would you prefer to have them spread out evenly throughout the entire space? You can choose from the following styles:
The first two are pretty self-explanatory. First, you must form those two letters with the lights across the space. Then, for the criss-cross pattern, simply just make a V pattern in one way and make another one back the opposite way to create cross patterns. Finally, the parallel pattern is the easiest one because you’ll string them up in parallel positions from each other, and the distance between the lines is entirely up to you.
The science behind lights and bugs
Mosquitoes have a higher affinity toward the UV lights with longer wavelengths than short wavelengths. However, when it comes to yellow hues, affinity varies on the mosquito species. For example, biting flies are not huge fans of visible light with long wavelengths, but infrared light seems to attract sandflies.
Also, the intensity of the light’s glow can contribute to determining the level of attraction that common bugs have towards a light source. Bright lights are attractive to biting bugs. Green LEDs have a higher luminosity than blue LEDs, which may not be that noticeable to the naked eye, but insects can distinguish between the two quite easily, and that green LED lights to draw more insects towards them than blue tints.
Insects do not perceive color the same way that humans do. It is still unclear how they see the light, but it’s safe to say that it’s not even remotely similar to human perception and cognition. For example, a study discovered that Anopheles mosquitoes are more drawn to blue LED light than green LED light at the same intensity. Still, when the intensity was changed, the mosquitoes shifted their attention toward the green light.
So when picking patio lights, color should not be your only consideration but the intensity. Also, include the frequency of flickering. There is a certain limit on how much flickering our eyes can see, and when it goes beyond that limit, we merely see a continuous streak of light. The same cannot be said for insects because they are more sensitive to flickering. Frequent flickering may be irritating to some insects.
Light has a broad spectrum of wavelengths, and we perceive them as different colors. In the case of insects, they have a different eye structure and photoreceptors and therefore process light in an entirely different way, making studying their response a very complex process. For example, several flying insects respond positively to UV light, which led to the production of UV light bug zappers that emit blue to violet light. Though not intended to repel insects, yellow incandescent lamps are also advertised as an anti-insect type of light because it counteracts the presence of blue light. But it does not make them immune to flies because the heat they give off can still attract the insects. Meanwhile, white LED lights do not emit UV light, only small infrared rays, but have trace amounts of blue light. The cooler the glow, the more blue light it contains. Warm lights mainly
Back in 2016, an ecologist named Michael Justice experimented by comparing different kinds of outdoor lights and their level of insect attraction to each of them. Below are his findings arranged from most to least attractive:
- Incandescent – most attractive
- Compact fluorescent light (CFL) – less attractive than incandescent
- Halogen – less attractive than CFL
- LED with a cool color temperature – less attractive than CFL
- LED with a warm color temperature – least attractive
In 2021, a similar study involving street lights was conducted, but this time, it varied more on the species than the light’s quality. But UV light remained the most attractive to a lot of insect species.
Even with the same color temperatures, the lighting system also varied. LEDs were the least attractive to insects, and the incandescent and CFLs gathered a lot. LED bulbs emit color temperature in varying degrees measured in Kelvin. LEDs with low Kelvin tend to emit warmer, yellow tints, while the high Kelvin LEDs emit blue and purple hues. Our suggestion is to use low wattage, and low Kelvin LED lights.
Non-bug-attracting patio lights
We’ve already established that certain types of lights can attract more bugs and flies. Here is the rundown on the criteria that you need to keep in mind:
- LED lights are your best option
- Go for yellow, warm white, or ultra warm white lights
- Avoid UV, incandescent, compact fluorescent (CFL), and halogen lights
LED is the most preferred type of light today because of its low heat and UV light emission. As a result, it also has less tendency to attract bugs. UV lights usually emit cool colors, making flies drawn to them. But warmer colors are somehow irritating to flying insects and can keep them away. Also, every other type of light has poor energy efficiency.
The Advantage of Yellow Bulbs
There is no surefire way to get rid of bugs altogether. The remedy one can do to simply reduce the chances of attracting bugs to an area by adjusting the lighting that illuminates the space. Homeowners have to use light that is invisible to the bugs. Mature insects can distinguish up to three colors. Insects with two color receptors are called bichromatic, and those with three are trichromatic. Insects of the latter can see a broader range of colors.
In the light spectrum, colors hit different wavelengths. And not all colors within that spectrum are visible to insects and even humans.
Longer wavelengths are less visible and therefore less attractive to bugs. Yellow, red, and orange are the colors with long wavelengths based on the spectrum, so basically, these are the ones that insects will most likely not be able to see. Lighting brands and manufacturers have researched the light perception of insects and have come up with products made for outdoor use. In this case, yellow CFL can be a great choice. They are pretty efficient when it comes to energy consumption, and they also do not radiate that much heat.
Other Lighting Factors to Consider
Aside from the color, heat radiation and luminous intensity are two other factors you should also keep in mind when it comes to outdoor lighting and reducing insect attraction. Higher brightness and heat emission makes the light more attractive to bugs. Halogen and incandescent bulbs may give off yellow-tinted light, but they also heat up, and that warmth is home to bugs. That’s why those types aren’t used as much today anymore. Instead, the common yellow bug lights are CFL types that produce less heat at a lower wattage.
Warm and cool white LEDs as alternatives
UV light is visible to insects and invisible to humans because of its short wavelength. An existing study conducted recently in the Ecology and Evolution journal stated that LED lights, regardless of whether it is a warm or cool color, only attracted half the number of insects attracted by CFLs. In addition, LED lights to emit little to no UV radiation and are almost free from heat emission, making them fantastic for outdoor lighting.
For LEDs, the lower Kelvin temperature means more yellow-tinted color. Around 3000 Kelvin will produce yellow-tinted light. Cool colors like blue are produced at 6000 Kelvin and more. Nonetheless, there is still no assurance that no bugs will gather around even at an extremely low Kelvin. There is a probability that certain insects may still pick up on some lights that are usually invisible to them. If one bug can sense it, others will still follow, and it will invite larger bugs who will likely prey on the little ones.
The best option to eliminate bugs from your patio is to use pest control treatments. Pest eradication services are available all over the United States. They do a thorough job of removing cobwebs, nests, and possible insect habitats from your home.
Factors to keep in mind for your patio lights
Aside from the yellow, red, and orange colors of light, the intensity or brightness of the light also matters. Even if the color is warm, but the brightness is high, bugs will still notice it. Comparing incandescent with CFL, the latter gives off less heat. But we still want to emphasize LED lights’ supremacy in outdoor lighting.
If you’re considering putting bug zappers on your patio, you have to know that these are primarily intended to attract flies and eliminate them. So if you spend a lot of time on your patio, this may not be the wisest choice. Also, bug zappers are nonselective, so any kind of insect that comes close to it meets its end. Good insects like bees, moths, or butterflies are not spared. These devices emit UV light, and that is the kind that is attractive to most insects.
Since patio lights are placed outside and are more prone to exposure to changes in weather, you might want to consider heavy-duty string lights with extra protective casings to shield them from wind, rain, and direct sunlight. There are solar-powered ones that are great for areas with generally sunny weather.
We strongly discourage UV lights for outdoor use. Always remember that warmer colors like yellow and orange are not that visible and attractive to most insects. No matter how great it would look aesthetically, having cooler colors on your patio is not worth the swarm of insects it will bring. Keep them at a safe distance from your doors and windows.
To wrap it up, yellow and warm kinds of white LED lights are the most optimal for outdoor and patio lighting. Fairy or string lights are great choices because they do not give off that much luminosity but are still enough to illuminate an ample space, especially with their comprehensive coverage.
These particular string lights are our personal favorite, and we would strongly recommend them to you. In addition, you can adjust the brightness of the lights, which are also specially designed for outdoor use.
What type of bugs are attracted to light?
Bugs with positive phototaxis or high affinity to light are moths, flies, beetles, stinkbugs, and earwigs, to name a few. These are just the common ones, but other insects like mosquitoes and bees can still be drawn to certain types of light.
What are some disadvantages of bug lights?
The yellow tint given off by bug lights can irritate some people. And it’s not a guarantee that there won’t be bugs around if you use this type of light. They may not be attractive to moths and mosquitoes, but some studies suggest that stinkbugs and earwigs are drawn to them. So LED is always better if you have problems with these insects.
Which is better, a zapper or a bug light?
Zappers intentionally attract bugs with their UV light to kill them. So you will suffer the incessant swarming of bugs towards the zapper and them flying around the area. So if you want to put up a bug zapper outdoors, you should keep it away from where people usually hang out.
In a way, bug zappers are also beneficial in eliminating mosquitoes that can be potential disease carriers. However, it’s not a 100% guarantee since mosquitoes aren’t entirely attracted to the light emitted by zappers. They are more drawn to the heat rather than the light. Some zappers also tend to make annoying noises whenever a bug gets caught up in it.
Also, the fact that they are not selective with the insects they eradicate is a disadvantage because, as mentioned before, the good kind of insects can also be drawn to them and get zapped. Some examples are bees, beetles, and moths.
You do not need a bug zapper to get rid of insects. You will only end up attracting a lot of them to your property. Your best option would be to have lights that are not attractive to insects, like LED bug lights. | <urn:uuid:e3e77872-746c-47ad-8528-24ac33b52bf6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://allthingsbackyard.com/outdoor-light-that-doesnt-attract-bugs/ | 2023-09-28T18:19:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.94918 | 5,547 |

There are many who claim the act of Googling applicants by searching for their online activities is a double-edged sword that may prove to be either insightful or insidious. Depending on how socially active your applicant is online, you may stumble upon more than you should know regarding personal information, especially in photos and comments made through the use of social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and more… You may even read, hear or see things that are legally none of your business—such as sexual orientation, political alignment, race, ethnicity or religion. So be prepared to ignore the potential tsunami of information that may be great fodder for gossip, but inappropriate and even illegal for landlords to use.
The important thing is protecting yourself from potential accusations of acting upon improper information. Searching the internet is not the problem, its how you use the information you may discover. Remember, you are not the tenant’s employer (under most circumstances), so your scope is limited to only that which has a direct bearing on the health and safety of the community, the condition of the unit, the ability to pay the rent and maintain a peaceful existence.
If you instead misuse the information to take an adverse action against someone for reasons that put them in a legally protected class (even though their credit, references and employment is good) you may find yourself defending against an unlawful discrimination lawsuit. However, if you learn that your applicant lied on the rental application about something material such as never being evicted, but you found out that they tweeted a message stating the contrary, then you will be standing on firmer ground should you decide to act on your discovery. Just be sure to print a copy of any material misrepresentations you find.
While some landlord-tenant law attorneys may advise against Googling, the consensus in the industry is the more information available, the better your chances are of finding the best possible candidate. It’s important to note: Google is not a satisfactory replacement for the use of professional tenant credit reports and public record searches. Always start with the essentials and then compliment your facts with an online investigation and be mindful of common names. You never want to falsely accuse anyone. If you’re ever unsure about an online identity, it’s best not to rely on it for an adverse action. It’s best to back up a denial with facts revealed from a rental application, reference or official record such as a credit report. | <urn:uuid:e7cffe4d-ab60-44d6-82f7-72fce994b996> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://americanlandlord.com/should-you-google-your-applicant/ | 2023-09-28T19:05:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.937474 | 496 |
Guest post by researcher Liam Mitchell
Linked paper: The evolution of vocal duets and migration in New World warblers (Parulidae) by L.R. Mitchell, L. Benedict, J. Cavar, N. Najar, D.M. Logue, The Auk: Ornithological Advances.
Scientists who want to study the evolution of behavior face a fundamental problem: unlike bones, behavior generally doesn’t fossilize. However, that doesn’t mean that extinct species’ behavior doesn’t leave any evidence. The behavior of living or “extant” species can give us clues about the behavior of their ancestors, and we can use the behavior of living species, the evolutionary relationships among species, and computational modelling to make inferences about extinct species’ behavior.
In our study, we used this approach to study the evolution of vocal duetting and migration in New World warblers. Vocal duetting is when a mated pair of birds sings together. Duets are a cooperative behavior, because they communicate that the duetting pair will cooperatively defend their shared territory against intruders. It’s hard for mated pairs to stay together through migration, so non-migratory birds tend to have longer-lasting pair bonds than migratory species. These longer pair bonds mean that non-migratory birds may have more to gain from cooperative behaviors like duetting, so we might expect duetting to be evolutionarily associated with the absence of migration.
We tested whether migrating and duetting are correlated in the evolutionary history of New World warblers. Essentially, we were looking to see if duetting and the absence of migration show up in similar places on the birds’ family tree. We collected data on each warbler species and determined whether or not they performed duets and whether or not they migrated. We used these data to perform our analyses.
Our primary analysis generated an evolutionary tree that shows duetting and migration over evolutionary time. We borrowed an existing phylogenetic tree of New World Warblers (Lovette et al., 2010) and used a technique called Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to simulate trait evolution (Revell, 2013). MCMCs are computer simulations that calculate the frequency at which a given node (a point where the tree branches) exhibits a specific characteristic over a number of simulated generations. The likelihood that a given generation exhibited a characteristic is informed by the other nodes on the tree, especially the nearby ones. The frequency with which a node exhibits a characteristic in the simulation can be interpreted as the probability that the ancestral species at that node exhibited the characteristic. For example, if we calculate one million simulations for the most ancestral node on the tree, and 800,000 of those simulations exhibit the characteristic “migration,” we can say there is a high likelihood (0.8) that the last common ancestor of all living warblers migrated.
This let us calculate the evolutionary correlation between duetting and migration. Our analysis showed that migration and duetting are indeed negatively correlated over evolutionary time. In other words, duetting is associated with a non-migratory lifestyle, as we predicted. These methods allow us to get a quantitative look at the evolution and loss of certain behaviors over time. We can then draw informed conclusions about the nature of these complex behaviors and open the way for studying the factors that may have influenced their changes over time.

ARLINGTON, Virginia – American Police Officers Alliance is an Arlington, VA based grassroots political nonprofit that organizes and activates voters, participates in key issues like referendums and legislative advocacy, and helps elect local leaders who understand, advocate for, and support the needs of law enforcement. Various activities of the group have included conducting poll research, advocating for police officer safety equipment, and providing support to political candidates who are supportive of police.
American Police Officers Alliance conducted a Brushfire Poll earlier this year to gain better insight into how registered voters feel about a variety of law enforcement issues, including how different levels of government handle law enforcement, general public trust in police officers, and how law enforcement issues affect their vote. To conduct this poll, American Police Officers Alliance utilized landlines to contact registered voters in the contiguous United States and weighted answers based on region, age, gender, ethnicity, and political affiliation.
The findings from the poll were very interesting and carry valuable insight into the current perceptions of government, law enforcement, and trust. The poll found that there is still a high level of trust in local police officers, and that people trust their local government more than state or federal levels to handle law enforcement issues properly. Respondents trusted Congress the least, with only a 31% approval rating.
While the highest amount of trust was with their governments, only 1/3 of respondents believed that elected officials are currently doing enough to support our police officers in terms of providing safety equipment, protections from wrongful suspensions, and other issues affecting morale.
What American Police Officers Alliance found most important from this poll was that 90% of respondents planned to vote in the 2018 midterm elections, and almost half said the issue of crime will affect how they choose to vote. The issue of safety, law enforcement, and local crime are important to voters and can sway how citizens choose to vote this year. American Police Officers Alliance will continue to advocate for law enforcement in the political process during this important time and hope that the voters will provide a unified voice for police officers this election year.

Managing Crohn's Disease: A Comprehensive Approach to Treatment and Nutritional Support
Crohn's disease, an inflammatory bowel disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract, can profoundly impact a person's quality of life. This chronic condition is characterized by inflammation and damage to various parts of the GI tract, leading to multiple symptoms. While the exact cause of Crohn's disease remains unknown, a combination of genetic, environmental, and immune system factors is believed to play a role. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available that aim to reduce inflammation, control symptoms, and improve overall well-being.
Understanding Crohn's Disease:
Crohn's disease can affect any portion of the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus, with the small intestine and colon being the most commonly involved areas. The symptoms experienced can vary in severity, including abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, fatigue, and malnutrition. Individuals may also experience extraintestinal symptoms such as joint pain, skin rashes, and eye inflammation. Crohn's disease typically follows a pattern of flare-ups, where symptoms worsen, alternating with periods of remission when symptoms subside or disappear.
Diagnosis and Conventional Treatment:
Living with Crohn's disease presents unique challenges, but with the right treatment and support, individuals can reduce inflammation, control symptoms, achieve remission, and improve their overall quality of life. Treatment approaches may vary depending on disease severity, inflammation location, and individual factors. Explore some standard treatment options below that can help individuals effectively manage Crohn's disease.
Medications for Inflammation Control:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs: Mild to moderate inflammation in the colon can be treated with aminosalicylates like mesalamine, offering relief and reducing inflammation.
- Corticosteroids: Powerful anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone are ideal for short-term management of moderate to severe flare-ups, providing swift symptom relief.
- Immune system suppressors: Medications like azathioprine, methotrexate, or mercaptopurine can suppress the immune system, alleviating inflammation and promoting remission.
- Biologics: Innovative medications like infliximab, adalimumab, vedolizumab, or ustekinumab specifically target proteins or cells involved in the immune response, effectively reducing inflammation.
- Antibiotics: In some cases, antibiotics such as metronidazole or ciprofloxacin may be prescribed to tackle bacterial overgrowth or complications arising from Crohn's disease.
- Symptom relief: Medications tailored to address specific symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, or nutritional deficiencies, can be prescribed to provide targeted relief.
Nutritional Therapy to Support Healing:
- Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN): This therapeutic approach involves consuming a nutritionally complete liquid diet, providing all necessary nutrients while resting the digestive system. EEN is often recommended for children or used alongside other treatments.
- Partial enteral nutrition: Combining specific nutrients or supplements with regular food can enhance nutrition and help manage symptoms, allowing individuals to maintain a balanced diet while reducing inflammation.
Surgical Interventions: In some cases, surgical procedures may be necessary to address complications or remove diseased or damaged sections of the intestine. Surgery is typically considered when medications prove ineffective or when strictures, abscesses, or fistulas develop.
Embracing Lifestyle Changes: Adopting certain lifestyle modifications can significantly impact the management of Crohn's disease:
- Dietary modifications: Identifying and avoiding trigger foods that exacerbate symptoms can be beneficial. During flare-ups, some individuals may find relief by following a low-fiber or low-residue diet.
- Stress management: Although stress does not cause Crohn's disease, it can worsen symptoms. Incorporating relaxation exercises, seeking counseling, or joining support groups can effectively manage stress levels and contribute to overall well-being.
- Regular exercise: Maintaining an active lifestyle promotes physical fitness and helps manage symptoms associated with Crohn's disease. Regular exercise can enhance well-being and support overall health.
Collaboration with Healthcare Professionals:
Individuals with Crohn's disease should collaborate closely with their healthcare team to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and disease characteristics. Regular monitoring and follow-up visits are essential to assess treatment effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments, ensuring optimal management of the condition.
The Role of Nutritional Therapy:
Complementary to conventional treatment, nutritional therapy can provide significant support for individuals with Crohn's disease. It aims to optimize overall health, promote healing, and reduce inflammation in the GI tract. Some key components of nutritional therapy include:
- Elemental Diet: This specialized liquid formula provides predigested nutrients, allowing the digestive system to rest while ensuring adequate nutrition. Elemental diets are often used during severe flare-ups or as short-term treatments.
- Probiotics: Beneficial bacteria known as probiotics can help restore a healthy balance of gut flora, potentially reducing inflammation and improving symptoms in some individuals. Selecting strains specifically studied for Crohn's disease, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, is essential.
- Fish Oil/Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements possess anti-inflammatory properties and may aid in reducing inflammation. While further research is needed, omega-3 supplementation shows promise in managing Crohn's disease symptoms.
- Vitamin and Mineral Supplements: Due to malabsorption or dietary restrictions, Crohn's disease can lead to deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals. Supplementing with vitamin D, B12, iron, calcium, and magnesium can help address these deficiencies and support overall health.
- Fiber Supplements: While high-fiber foods are generally beneficial for digestion, some individuals with Crohn's disease may struggle to tolerate or digest them during flare-ups. Soluble fiber supplements, such as psyllium husk, can promote healthy bowel movements without exacerbating symptoms.
Collaborating with Healthcare Professionals:
When considering nutritional therapy or supplements, working closely with healthcare providers or registered dietitians specializing in inflammatory bowel diseases is crucial. They can assess individual nutritional needs, guide supplement choices, and monitor progress. It's important to note that nutritional therapy and supplements are meant to complement, not replace, conventional treatments.
While living with Crohn's disease presents unique challenges, combining medical treatments, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle modifications can help individuals effectively manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and improve their overall quality of life. By working closely with healthcare professionals and adopting a comprehensive approach, individuals with Crohn's disease can achieve remission, experience fewer flare-ups, and enhance their overall well-being. | <urn:uuid:4d206661-9168-46cb-9df5-406e838a8292> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://amorphous-calcium.com/blogs/bone-health-and-the-importance-of-calcium/managing-crohns-disease-a-comprehensive-approach-to-treatment-and-nutritional-support | 2023-09-28T16:55:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.905221 | 1,397 |

The Strathberry Trinity Bag
Today I will be reviewing Strathberry’s Trinity Mini in Soft Pink, a color exclusive to Fall/Winter 2022. I had seen this bag in other limited-edition color combinations, and fell in love immediately! This pretty pastel piece was not easy to pass by, and it has turned out to be the perfect addition to my monochrome outfits, floral dresses, and casual ensembles.
If this is your first time hearing about the Edinburgh-based brand Strathberry, their bags became an overnight sensation after Megan Markle was seen carrying two versions of this Midi Tote a few years ago. See my review of the Strathberry Midi Tote here!

Strathberry Trinity Mini Bag Pros / Cons
In my opinion, Strathberry bags are definitely worth the price! Keep in mind that the Trinity Mini in pink is delicate, so you will need to be careful with it. I want my bags to last me for years, so I place each of my handbags in their protective dustbag bag after I wear them. The size of this bag is perfect for me because I like to wear it with the adjustable strap across my body, and there is no risk of it getting too heavy.

Although I have been to New York City before, I had never noticed the number of tulips there this time of year. Flower shops are full of tulips, and Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village has tons of tulips as well. I am just taking it all in – and loving it!!!
My life took an unexpected turn recently, yet I am convinced that it is a positive one, and with time it will show me that too. This trip is one that I had scheduled a while ago yet I could not have timed it better. As I always love to say, life is full of positive surprises 😉

Over and Back releases April 9 and its the fifth in the Bronco’s Boys series. The idea for this story started last summer when Dominic and I were on the train from Rome to Florence. Dominic turned to me and said, “you know, you should bring Bull and the boys here.” At the time I didn’t think anything of it. I was writing another story and those characters were in my head.
I have to say when my husband is right, he’s right. A few months later his suggestion stuck in my head and I wrote Over and Back. This story is set to the backdrop of much of our trip to Italy with some things thrown in that I wish we’d had time to do.
I also have to let you in on a little secret. My husband can be pushy. After he proposed that I bring the boys to Italy, he spent the next month pointing out, tall, dark, handsome men that I could use as inspiration for the characters. I do love my husband. 🙂

Opposites attract on an overseas holiday, but trouble has hitched a ride.
While Bronco’s nightclub is closed for renovations, the owners invite the staff on a trip to Italy. Bartender Hank needs a roommate, and he’s had his eye on waiter Grant for a while, even if he’s had to keep his distance. But sharing such close proximity means sparks are sure to fly….
Grant has a problem saying no, and it’s led him into some less-than-healthy relationships. While he’s determined not to repeat his mistakes, it’s clear Hank is different.
They’re both willing to take it slow and explore the feelings building between them, but even in a foreign country, their pasts are catching up, and that could hurt more than just their budding romance. | <urn:uuid:413154e7-84b8-46b5-bf8d-d411dca59ee0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://andrewgreybooks.com/over-and-back/ | 2023-09-28T17:41:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.987405 | 433 |
Whether you’re a professional golfer, caddie, junior, or amateur golfer, AimPoint Green Reading will transform your game by teaching you the one aspect of putting which is never taught–exactly where to aim.
After going through the AimPoint Green Reading education, you will never again have to guess at how much a putt breaks. Any putt. Learn that putting is predictable and discover the most effective and reliable ways to determine the direction and precise amount of break for any putt, all based on gravity (only works on planet earth).
Here is something I hope you can use and post.
$200 to learn to read greens and use aim-point? I thought it was too much money for something I thought I already knew how to do. A few terrible misreads and realizing that my putting stats weren't very good away from my "home" course changed my thinking and I decided to take the aim-point green reading course. It was time and money well spent. My green reading is not 100% perfect, but it's a lot closer than before. It certainly leads to more confident putting when you have a definitive amount of break known instead of making a wild guess. The technology of the new golf clubs is great, but dollar for dollar, I think the aim-point class is a better investment in your game.
I couldn't wait to talk to Randy after he went in for his "putter fitting". He asked me about his putter (since he should be able to do some of that as he recovers from his hip surgery)...and I told him that he really needed to see you! I'm so glad he went. He was excited and a little "bummed" out (I think), that you found out his putting was working for him and fit him well. I'm sure he would have enjoyed a new "toy", but really appreciated your honest professional opinion. I had encouraged him to get the Edel putter if it would be a better fit for him...... I was was VERY pleased that you took so much time with him and were thorough in your diagnoses that his putter was a good fit and working for him! It gives me great confidence to recommend students to you guys since you truly look out for what is BEST for your clients ~ you've built a great reputation that way! Thank you, Andy!
I took the AimPoint Level 1 and 2 course in the spring of 2014. I used to average 36 putts per round. Now I average 32 putts per round. My handicap index has dropped 5 points since the beginning of the 2014 recording season. Greg L
I have to tell you that I rarely 3 putt a green (unless I'm rushing and don't take the time to assess the slope) and one putts are not uncommon. AimPoint has DEFINITELY helped my score!
Thanks Andy. Today was very informative! I'm really excited to start practicing with this system.
As for putting, the 68 included 28 putts, two of which were from 40+ feet. I am making it from everywhere! Between the AimPoint giving me a confident read and the new Cameron rolling it perfectly on that line, I am feeling like I can make anything.
Thanks again for your fitting expertise. I feel like I am putting myself in the best position to play well with your coaching and fitting help.

Why luxury pontoon maker has added fishing models to its portfolio
Pontoon maker, Godfrey Marine, has added two new fishing-specific craft to its luxury Monaco line.
Both models are equipped with dedicated fishing platforms not previously available, along with a livewell that can double as a day cooler. Other fishing features include rod holders that double as cup holders, additional upright rod holders, knife and tool storage and stern fishing seats on removable pedestals.
“Our customers clamoured for a high-end, dedicated fishing platform and we’ve delivered,” said Janene Harness, Project Manager for the Indiana company
Both are fitted with a large bow lounge and an ample stern pit area which wraps around the helm seat. The fishing seats can be upgraded to reclining helm chairs on fixed pedestals. The new boats are available in 23 and 25 foot lengths, with eight foot, six inch beams.
“Our new Monaco FS Series defines the Monaco line-up, with the addition of dedicated fishing amenities and high-class features,” said Wally Ross, Director of Product Management and Marketing for Godfrey Marine. “The MC235 FS and the MC255 FS are the perfect pontoons to combine fishing and cruising with the family.”
Based on configuration, the craft can accommodate between 12-16 and 14-17 passengers and are powered by 150-hp to 300-hp and 150-hp to 400-hp motors respectively. | <urn:uuid:c69cd9f2-fa68-491a-93d7-f96aec2b66d5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://angling-international.com/2020/11/16/why-luxury-pontoon-maker-has-added-fishing-models-to-its-portfolio/ | 2023-09-28T17:32:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.953094 | 301 |
How is it possible for a developer to ignore two stop-work orders from the MBPP and a court order obtained by the Southwest District and Land Office?
Three dozen chalets are being constructed along the slopes of Bukit Laksamana – as well as a road! All this in a water catchment area. About 10 acres is affected.
As if the horrific scarring of the eastern side of Penang Hill isn’t bad enough (see satellite image above), now hills are being scarred even in Teluk Bahang.
Bukit Laksamana is part of the Teluk Bahang water catchment area and the water from this area flows into Sungai Daun, which in turn flows into the Teluk Bahang Dam (see below).
The stop work orders were issued on 9 April 2014 and 12 January 2015.
How can a developer get away with this? No one seems to know who the developer is – though I am sure the MBPP can find out if it doesn’t already know. What has happened to its enforcement personnel? Are they only good for demolishing illegal roadside stalls?
How is this even possible? It reminds us of Botak Hill all over again.

These Crunchy Twisted Cookies are perfect anytime, with a slight orange flavour they are delicious as a breakfast, snack or even dessert cookie. So good, you can’t stop at one!
This is another of my Mom’s cookie recipes that I found but I actually don’t remember her ever making them, and it’s too bad because I am sure they would have been a big hit. These cookies are an easy recipe that bake up crunchy and buttery with a slight orange flavouring. I am sure a cookie that everyone would like.
How to make them
In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, butter, zest, yolk and salt, beat on low just until mixed.
Beat on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes. Roll pieces of dough into a small rope, cross the ends over and place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Brush the ropes with egg white and sprinkle with sugar. Add some shopped candied fruit or even nuts or chocolate chips as decorations.
Bake until lightly golden. Cool the twists on the cookie sheets.
Can you add a different flavouring?
If you don’t like orange zest then you could add lemon or lime zest or even leave out the zest and add a little vanilla flavouring or why not some almond flavouring?
How to store them
The cookies should be stored in an air tight container and will keep at room temperature for up to a week. If they are refrigerated they should keep for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen and will keep for up to 2 months in a freezer safe bag or container.

When transitioning to a new career, people often have lofty ideas about where they want to work. Programmers want to work for Google or one of the other top brands. Real estate should be no different. There are top companies, and working for them comes with big advantages. If you’re aiming for the top, you need to know who the best is. We’ll get to a name before we’re done, but let’s start by looking at what makes the best stand above everyone else.
Opportunities to Learn
The traits that make the best real estate companies are a bit universal. Chief among them is an opportunity to learn. Great companies have training and coaching programs. They will teach you tools of the trade. More importantly, they will adapt the training and coaching to each individual. A seasoned, successful real estate agent will work with you on specific areas of growth to help you reach your potential.
Coaching and training reach their pinnacle with mentoring programs. Such programs are common among the successful tech giants of the world, and great real estate companies have learned from that success. A mentor will foster new agents into veteran agents who can land great listings and satisfy their clients.
Another important aspect of career growth is setting and keeping goals. It’s the quintessential method of taking progressive steps forward. The issue is that every human being in the world needs external accountability support. Even the greatest athletes in history had coaches to help with accountability.
Top companies will encourage you to set goals, and then they will devote resources to helping you achieve those goals. They build you up for success, and they fill in the gaps that you will inevitably leave open at points. It’s about a collaborative effort to sell real estate and make people happy.
Naming the Best Company
If you wanted a name for the very best real estate company in L.A., that’s not an easy thing to provide. There is no solitary, objective measure to use here. Depending on the parameters, different companies will rise to the top. You can trust that any top-rated company is going to invest in the success of its agents. But, to give you a name and a starting point, we can look at the top company in terms of reviews. Using Yelp and a number of other review resources, the current best real estate company is The Collective, Realty. Their clients love them and regularly refer them. That alone says a lot, and you can trust that getting to the top of all real estate companies in L.A. was no easy feat.
That doesn’t mean that The Collective, Realty is the perfect company for every real estate agent. You want a company culture that fits you, but knowing where the top is can help you with your goals and expectations.
Of course, there’s no point in hunting down top companies unless you can get your real estate license. For that, you’ll want a Los Angeles real estate school. When you get your credentials, you can find a great company that is excited to invest in you. | <urn:uuid:9974c7a7-7047-4a60-a411-74e1fc053370> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://anotherwrinkle.com/best-real-estate-company-to-work-for-in-los-angeles/ | 2023-09-28T16:49:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.961295 | 638 |

1. What Is Seascape Photography
Seascape photography is a sub-genre of landscape photography depicting the sea or the ocean as a more substantial portion of the photo. The other elements are the beach, the coastal features, the cliffs, the rock pools, marine creatures, etc. Of course, coastal photography has many things in common with other types of subjects in nature, but there are some differences. Unlike the regular landscape shot, the success or failure is often a split second away. The water keeps moving all the time, every wave is different and unique, every splash has another shape, and every second, there is an entirely different picture. Same applies to every type of landscape, but most of all – to the seascape. In most natural scenes, a long exposure only affects the cloud movement, while in our case, it also affects the water, which makes a significant impact on the overall look and feel.

2. Safety Photographing Seascape
Any type of landscape photography requires safety measures and seascape photography more than any other. First of all, check the swell and tides forecast. These forecasts affect your safety! You don’t want to stand on some rock only to find yourself locked out of the shore because the water level just grew higher. Planning section appears somewhere later in the article.
- Wet rocks. Look out for the wet stones. If they are damp and there is no rain, it means that the wave will eventually hit that place again. Especially on the rising tide. So spend some time and look around to decide where it’s safe to stand.
- Rock Hopping. I recommend walking through the heaps of coastal rocks carefully. But if you need to jump or make long strides, then poke the target with your tripod before rushing ahead. It may be unstable even if it looks like a stone golem.
- Algae. There are a few types of water plants. Green and brownish are OK, just some standard plants, but beware of the black algae. The black water plants are more slippery than a bar of soap! It’s even hard to stand on them, not to mention walk. These colours apply to Australia and may differ in other parts of the world.
- Rogue waves. Some waves could be significantly bigger than the others. So, always keep an eye on the incoming waves and have a safe way to retreat if needed.
- Never turn your back to the ocean. Sometimes I have a feeling that the ocean keeps eyeing me, and in a moment I look the other direction hits me with a massive wave! Jokes aside, whatever you do, keep an eye on the surroundings and never turn your back to the ocean. You just can’t fully relax and let it go with such raw power near you.
- Do not carry your camera on the tripod. Please detach the camera from the tripod before changing position. You don’t want to bump it if you suddenly fall or swing your arms.
- Put the lens cap back on. Close the lens and then go. The same thing – you may fall or lose balance and don’t want to bump it accidentally.
- Keep the camera off when not using. If you are not doing photos at the moment, turn your camera off. Not because of the battery, but because it may survive if it gets wet all of a sudden. There may be a rogue wave, or it may fall into a rock pool or whatever. If you think the camera may have water inside, do not turn it on. Take it to the repair shop instead.
- Swell and tide. Check swell and tidal information before you go to know what the sea is up to, what to expect.
- Don’t risk your life. It’s not worth it.
3. Planning Seascape Photography
Tips And Techniques For Planning
Planning is essential. You just cannot overestimate it. The landscape photography planning itself can bring you lots of incredible opportunities and coastal pictures. Proper planning saves time and helps to avoid disappointment. First, you should do your homework and research the site in the comfort of your home.
Use the Internet:
- Google images search using the place name.
- Images on Google maps
- 500px location search
- Any other photo site like Flickr
- Look for great photographers in the area and browse their sites
Nothing beats your direct presence. So, if you have an ability, scout the location during the day, make notes of some great spots. Be sure to determine where the Sun will rise or set. I use suncalc.net – it’s handy and quick. If I’m at the site, I use “Planit! For Photographers Pro” (Android | iTunes) to find all the information I need – tides, Sun and Moon positions, Milky Way position and timing and all that in Virtual Reality Mode so that I can make assumptions on my future pictures. There are also other similar applications, but I prefer this one.
When scouting, have a look at the tide and think ahead. Some locations look better at the low tide; some only work during the high tide. Hence, that’s another thing to consider while planning. The same thing applies to the time of day. Consider if the scene works better for the sunrise or the sunset.
Also, have a look at the postcards and local brochures.
The swell and tide information is crucial when you are exploring the coast. The swell means the size of the waves and some wave could be up to twice bigger (rogue wave). Have that in mind and think safety first. Low or high tide information is vital because some locations work better with the particular water level. For the tidal data, I use WillyWeather website.
To photograph the sand beach, I prefer low tide because the angle of the beach is even more level making the water stay longer for the reflections. For the rocky area, it depends on the location itself, and you need to do a little scouting to figure out what works best. The tide is not essential for the cliff-top vistas.
How To Plan Seascape
- Look at the photos of the location
- Photo sites like 500px, Flickr
- Pictures on the Google maps
- Local photographers/tours
- Study maps
- Research on the spot
- Note Sun/Moon/Milky Way position.
- Decide on whether sunrise or sunset works best.
- Decide on whether low or high tide works best.
- Use Virtual Reality apps to preliminary look at your future shots.
- Check the weather forecast
- Cloud cover
- Swell (waves size)
- Tides (high or low)
Why Is Composition Important
Let’s start with the composition. Picture composition is not a topic to “quickly cover.” There are whole courses, books and dedicated articles on this issue. Dozens of rules and examples and yet, every good composition you encounter has something special about it. It is impossible to follow all the rules, and even if someone does it doesn’t mean they’ll make a good picture composition. The art of composing pictures is elusive, requires practice and an intuitive feel of harmony. Therefore, I’ll list my favourite landscape photography composition techniques so that you’ll be able to use them right away and build your vision on top of that. These rules will be just enough to cover the basics. Possibly, I’ll create a separate article to cover more framing aspects.
Basic Composition Rules
The Photo Structure
The photo consists of a background, middle ground, and foreground. For seascapes, the background is typically a distant sea, clouds and possibly distant cliffs. Usually, the main subject is somewhere in the middle ground. And the foreground is either a beach or some rocks. Of course, you need to go creative and try different things out. The coast is full of fascinating things to photograph. Zoom in and use a big wave as a foreground. Go into the water and use the blurred water movement as a foreground. Use a lower point of view and exclude middle ground altogether. You can try many things. Just remember, you need those layers to create a visual perspective, to lead the viewer’s eye into the frame.
In the following sections, you will see many possible compositions and grids. To follow a specific rule, please build your shot in a way where significant lines (horizon, clouds, river, etc.) are near the grid lines, and photographic subjects (human, rock, tree, etc.) are near the intersections.
How To Form A Compositional Line
This chapter is concise but very important. When I say “forming a line” I don’t necessarily mean a straight solid continuous line. All I mean is elements positioned in a particular order where your eyes follow some imaginary line between them. Two or three aligned rocks create just as good composition as a cliff edge going the same direction.
Rule of Thirds
There are many rules and techniques when it comes to framing a photo. The most famous is the Rule of Thirds, which is wrong, to be honest. It is merely a simpler version of the Golden Ratio rule. Anyway, it is straightforward to use, just put essential lines on the thirds of the photo. This rule applies to both vertical and horizontal lines. Most cameras have a built-in frame, which shows in the viewfinder and splits the view into thirds. Turn it on and put horizon or other significant lines you have near one of the grid lines. You also need to place main elements on the grid intersections.
Golden Ratio Rule
Similar to the Rule of Thirds with the difference that the lines are a little closer to the centre and do not split the photo into three equal parts, the central part is a little more narrow. You can find the calculation process in Wikipedia. The rule originates from nature itself; everything in nature is built around the golden ratio, including humans.
We don’t need a lot of theory here; let’s keep it practical. The cameras do not have a built-in function, which respects this rule, so all you need to do is to put your lines a little closer to the centre than the viewfinder shows.
Other Golden Rules
There are also many different rules, originating from the Golden Ratio. They are more advanced than those I have mentioned above, and I’ll cover them later at some point in a separate article.
In my opinion, this one is the most important aspect of composing a photograph. If you ask me to take just one and forget the others, it’s this one. These lines lead the viewer’s eyes into the photo and show important elements, add a lot of power and dynamism.
The diagonal is the most straightforward rule to follow. Just pick a leading line and make it a prominent diagonal. Don’t make it unexpectedly end at the border of the photo, make it lead viewer’s into the eternity, into the distance. Make two diagonals if you have enough foreground subjects, make four if the clouds align nicely. The more diagonals, the bigger punch the photo has. The coastline usually makes an excellent diagonal, just don’t cut it with the photo edge.
Possibly, the most natural looking way to compose the picture. Look for the S-shaped curves. Nothing to add here – a very simple and a compelling technique.
The central composition isn’t too popular because it’s more stable rather than dynamic. More balanced rather than dominant. But sometimes it works well and is worth mentioning. You’ll need to put your subject into the middle. You can still have the horizon on thirds or the golden ratio, or you may put it in the middle as well. But watch out – don’t make the halves compete with each other.
Another cool technique is framing. You need to find some objects that could frame the main subject. It could be the bushes, tree leaves, rocks, or cliffs.
Tonal and Aerial Perspective
Last, but not least, let’s talk a little bit about the perspective. There are some cases when you cannot create any decent leading lines, and you don’t have to. Instead, you can use the perspective, either tonal or aerial.
The tonal perspective is the effect of depth in the photo as a consequence of a gradual change of tones and reduction of contrast while going deeper into the picture.
The aerial perspective is the reduction of clarity and sharpness with distance. Also, distant objects have a blue tint, which also becomes stronger with distance. This effect is caused by the mass of air between the viewer and the object.
How Focal Length Affects Layout
It is not exactly a rule or anything like this, but you can use it to extend your creativity to the unbelievable level. One would think that seascapes need wide-angle lenses. Well, yes, that’s true for the most part. For seascape photography, you can use a lot of lenses. A friend of mine uses 24-105; I use 15-30. But I also use 50mm and even 70-300mm lenses for some specific cases and trust me; there are some situations where you cannot achieve the desired effect at the wide-angle.
If you want some modern style ocean sunrise with moving water around the rocks, water streaks, and all that – use the wide angle. Use at least 50mm get something similar to Ivan Aivazovsky style. If you want just the waves, use the telephoto lens. But I’ll cover it later. The “longer” lens squeezes the perspective, and it does not exaggerate the foreground as wide angle lenses do, they make the elements more balanced with each other. So, try different lenses for the different balance between foreground, mid-ground, and background of your seascape photography.
How To Check Composition in Photoshop
Sometimes the composition can be improved during editing. In fact, more often than not, you’ll need to crop the photo a little bit to improve the overall layout of elements. When you select a Crop tool, click the grid button on the top (Photoshop CC) or just press O button multiple times on keyboard. In case of a non-symmetrical framing style, press Ctrl+O to flip it.
5. Seascape Photography Tips: Photography Basics
The light changes significantly – because it’s going from complete darkness to the bright and shiny morning. The properties of light change too and hence our approach to photography. We need to use the light, to work with it, not against it. So in this chapter, you will learn how to compose a shot and how to photograph during various periods of dawn and dusk time. All rules are the same for sunrise and sunset time; they just go in the opposite order.
In this chapter, you’ll learn the techniques, shooting timeline, and camera settings for seascape photography.
Camera Settings For Ocean
I have written an excellent article (I believe so) about the shutter speed. It covers the creation of ocean images as well. Be sure to check it out and possibly print the shutter speed cheat sheets I have created just for you.
In general, for any landscape, you need a vast depth of field. For that, always use at least f/8 with the preference of greater numbers like f/11 up to f/16. The bigger f-numbers let less light in, the smaller ones allow more light in (called open aperture).
When you close down the aperture, the shutter speed increases, you will need a longer exposure time. If you want to both keep the hole closed and shutter speed not too long, you will need to increase ISO (sensor’s sensitivity). It reduces the shutter speed at the cost of adding noise. Every camera has different levels of noise, so that requires an experiment to determine, which ISO is acceptable. Also, the longer the exposure, the stronger the sound it produces. On my current Nikon D750 camera, I can set ISO 1600 without much losses with ISO 800 barely noticeable. On my previous Nikon D7000 camera, I wouldn’t go higher than ISO 400.
So, use f/8 – f/16, shutter speed following the article mentioned earlier in this chapter and adjust ISO to make the desired shutter speed. I’ll add camera settings separately for each sub-chapter below.
Photography Timeline and 6 Types of Light
In general, there are six types of light that I can think of:
- Total darkness, no light at all. Good for astrophotography.
- Pre-dawn skylight (same as post-dusk). The best for long exposures and dreamy effects.
- Dawn light (same as dusk). Warm and bright and still has colour in the clouds.
- Post-dawn (almost the same as pre-dusk). Warm and strong, casting long shadows and revealing all textures.
- Daylight. Too strong and harsh. Limited use for shooting seascapes.
- Bad light. Dull and flat, coming through the thick clouds with no clearing.
#1 Total Darkness
No or very little light. This kind of environment is only right for astrophotography. I will not cover this genre here but can assure you – there are some places right in Sydney where you can shoot the stars with a decent result.
For astrophotography, you will need an open aperture (whatever your camera can handle), f/2.8 would be the best. The shutter speed is up to 20-30 seconds to keep the stars as dots, not the trails. ISO would depend on the light pollution level. I’ve seen ISO1600 working nicely in a light polluted area, and I’ve seen ISO 6400 barely working in the light pollution free area. Typically, you will need ISO 1600-6400.
For the trails, the exposure time should be at least 30 minutes and can be several hours for the more extended trails. Sometimes people shoot many 30 second shots and then blend them in Photoshop.
#2 Pre-Sunrise and Post-Sunset
To be honest, this kind of light is my favourite. The skylight is hard to notice at first, but when you know what you are looking for, it becomes pretty apparent. This light is strong enough to reveal all the texture on the rocks and can colour the clouds in great colours. In the end, the photographer is getting a long exposure shot with some lovely patterns on the textured objects and moving clouds. The first light appears typically around 30-40 minutes before sunrise and gets stronger every minute until the Sun comes out. Symmetrically, the last light lasts about 30-40 minutes after sunset. The sky is readable for another 30 minutes, and sometimes the clouds can turn red 1 hour before sunrise.
These conditions offer vast opportunities. The skylight is strong enough to reveal all the structure and texture and yet soft enough not to produce harsh shadows. This light can also have a faint tint depending on the colour of the clouds. Once you know this information, you’ll start to pay attention to the small details. Small details make a big difference in the final seascape photograph.
Pre-dawn light lasts from around 30-40 minutes before sunrise till the sunrise. The darker it is, the more prolonged exposure you will need to perform to create the photo.
Long Exposure Seascapes Settings
As usual, you need at least f/8 – f/11 to keep your photo in focus. At this time of the day, your shutter speed will be anywhere from 30 to 180+ seconds. Some cameras do not support shutter speed longer than 30 seconds. In this case, you will need to raise ISO. Otherwise, the photo will be too dark. There are no strict rules on how to capture cloud movement accurately because it depends on the speed of the clouds. It requires an experiment. Typically, my settings for the first light are f/8, ISO 100, 30-60 seconds. If I need extra depth of field, I go f/10-f/11, ISO 200, 30-180+ seconds. As the lighting level raises, the exposure time decreases gradually.
First/Last Light of the Day
30-40 min before sunrise, 30-40 min after sunset
The exact timing differs every time, and, in fact, you can start shooting 50-60 minutes before sunrise on some occasion, so the time intervals I put in this article are only for reference. The “First Light” period starts approximately 30-40 minutes before sunrise. Use this light to create long exposures. For sunsets, it’s 30-40 minutes after sunset.
- Shapes and forms in the rocks
- Rock pools and puddles. If they are big enough, they can reflect the clouds. Alternatively, they reflect the skylight and look like shiny diamonds surrounded by the dark rocks. Try to get the lower/higher point of view to adjust the reflectiveness level.
10-20 min before sunrise; 10-20 min after sunset
The exposure is significantly shorter now ~10 sec. We still get no texture, but the surface is not entirely smooth. The character and the texture become visible and start to play a role in the overall composition. Also, we can increase ISO and make 1-5 seconds exposure, getting the texture and many new great subjects to photograph, especially in the foreground. Please refer to the next section “Nearly Sunrise” to get more ideas for shorter exposures.
- Flowing water. Receding waves work the best; they form beautiful trails. On the level surface, these streams create straight lines. If the water runs around a rock, they form circles. Also, sometimes they can swirl by themselves. The speed of the flowing water is always different, so the exposure time you need also differs. Typically, 2-5 seconds will produce great trails and add a lot of power. I guess this type of foreground is the most popular one for seascape photography.
- Rock waterfalls. When the wave comes over the top of the rock, it forms pretty waterfalls. The shutter speed should be at least 1 second to make it look perfect. I don’t recommend to go over 5 seconds.
- Reflections on the sand. Sometimes, especially during the low tide, the water recedes slowly from the sand. This kind of movement is perfect for catching the reflections of the clouds. Also, the edge of the water creates a tremendous compositional line with the only drawback – it dissolves quickly. You’ll need to position yourself at the spot where you expect the wave to reach, compose the shot and wait for the proper wave.
1-5 min before sunrise; 1-5 min after sunset
The skylight peaks, the Sun is almost there. The exposure is the shortest possible for the pre-sunrise conditions. By controlling aperture, you can get shutter speed from 1/10 sec to 2 seconds. This period is relatively short, so you need to use it wisely. These shorter exposures are my favourite as they provide the most dynamism and life to the water (excluding wave photographs).
- Boiling water.
- Incoming waves. 1/10 sec – ⅓ sec works for these waves as this movement is faster than receding movement. You may need to raise ISO a little bit to adjust your shutter speed. The waves will not be frozen, but they’ll keep the shapes.
- Receding water. I know, I listed this type of foreground in the previous section, but it is a little different now. We have more light at disposal, so the exposure time is shorter than before. Hence we can reach ½ sec – 1 sec at this time, which allows for the maximum texture and the organic look. The water now looks like a fresh chill real water and yet has a beautiful fluidity.
To get some beautiful water traces, this is inevitable: you need to get into the water. It just doesn’t work as good standing in the safety of the sand; you have to be in the middle of the action. You’ll often get wet, and that’s fine. Just don’t go too deep or you risk to be dragged into the sea. Typically, I don’t go deeper than knee level. Wear shorts and crocs, and you’ll be fine. Alternatively, some people use tall fishing boots.
Up to 10 minutes after the sunrise; up to 10 minutes before the sunset
Finally, the wait is over! The Sun is coming out, giving its warmth and light and painting the whole world orange and revealing the ocean beauty in all its glory. All the colours pop up and brighten everything around. The warm orange light lightens the rocks and the water plants, plays of the waves and colours the clouds. We can surely use it and create strong colour contrasts (in case it didn’t work before sunrise). For instance, bright orange rocks look amazing against the blue sky, and we can also add green algae into the equation. There are whole libraries out there written about the colour harmony and colour palettes. I’m just going to tell you two important things. Listen carefully.
Sunrise and Sunset Colour Tips
Sometimes, you need to create a palette in your head and adjust the colours accordingly to achieve the best results and the most appealing picture. There are a few things you need to know.
- Windows –> Extensions –> Adobe Colour Themes. This option enables a colour wheel right in your Photoshop CC. Magic, huh?
- For the sunrise, the best palette is an Orange-Blue complementary pair. You can also sometimes add green to form a Triad. For the sunset over the ocean, typically, the air is redder due to the dust particles stirred by the busy day.
Sunrise and Sunset Camera Settings
So the Sun is up for whatever reason (went up after sunrise or still going down during sunset) and we want to make the most of it. Now, as we are getting more light, you can safely increase the F-number to 16 to get the maximum depth of field. Set your ISO to 100 (or even 50 if your camera allows). Typically, the shutter speed will be around 1/20 – 1/10, which is the fastest you can go to get the feel of fluidity in the water. Any shorter shutter speed, like 1/50, for instance, will start “freezing” the water and won’t show the flow dynamism. In this scenario, aperture f/8, for example, will cause the shutter speed to be way too fast (I’m talking about the perfect conditions with lots of light).
There are cases when you would want it to be faster. For example, a crashing wave or the wave barrel with the orange flare on the very top. For these scenarios, you will need to set f/8 and even rise an ISO to photograph the exact moment and state of the water you need. I’ll cover the wave photography in one of the subsequent sections of the article. You are looking for at least 1/250 sec. But do not hesitate to experiment as the final result depends on so many factors.
I’m sure you have seen photos of the Sun having a starburst effect, like one of those stars we had drawn in the childhood. The starburst is not particularly hard to get. I have covered this topic in details in one of the articles and infographics: How To Create Starburst Effect. This article teaches basics on how to create these star effects and how to photograph front light in general.
How To Capture Best Light
You must be wondering what light is the best for seascapes? The same type of lighting as for every other landscape type. There are three types of light, depending on the Sun position:
- Sidelight. It appears when the Sun is either on your left or your right.
- Front light. It is called this way when the Sun is in front of you and appears in the photo.
- Backlight. It’s when the sun is behind you.
The best light happens when there is a gap between the horizon and the clouds and the Sun goes through this opening. Sometimes it can hit the gap between the clouds, and it looks breathtaking too.
Sun Behind the Photographer
The worst one for the photography is backlight when the Sun is behind you. This fact is somewhat counter-intuitive because the colours look the most vivid and shiny when you peer in this direction. But have a look at the details – this kind of light has eaten all of them, all shadows and all texture. The picture now looks like a colouring book for kids with no volume. I recommend to avoid such a scenario and focus in other directions.
The sidelight, on the contrary, features and reveals all possible volume and textures. This kind of light is easy to photograph during the early hours of the day because of the long and not particularly dark shadows. Look for unusual objects, like free-standing rocks, trees, cliffs and make their textures part of your photography.
For some reason, many photographers try to avoid the front light. It’s the hardest one to photograph but it is the most rewarding. You can get a starburst as I have mentioned earlier, you get the best cloud colours, you get the most vivid and shiny reflections on every surface. The difference between the sky and the foreground can be huge, and to alleviate it, you would need to use either lens filters or do bracketing. I will cover these a little later and for now, let’s get back to the light.
I already gave you a link to the basics of photographing the Sun (starburst). Apart from that, such positioning gives you some of the best colours and tonal contrast. Besides, the Sun positioned above the sea shines through the waves revealing amazing clear cyan and green colours. It also lightens the wave crests and produces glowing orange edges.
#4 Post-Dawn Golden Hour
10+ minutes after sunrise / before sunset;
Post-sunrise is the last period of good light you are going to get. It is also called a Golden Hour – because of the orange-yellow golden light the Sun produces. The actual length of the golden hour varies with seasons. It’s much longer during the winter than the summer.
After the vividness of the sunrise and the fiery colours in the clouds, the golden hour light may seem flat and dull. But don’t fall into that trap, give your eyes a couple of minutes to adjust and see the beauty. After a while, you’ll start to appreciate what’s happening. Similar rules apply here – sidelight, front light, etc. The difference is that the brightness of the Sun grows fast making it harder to photograph front view without the filters or bracketing (read further). When shooting with the sidelight, you can get away with a single shot without the filters or bracketing.
- Colours. The rocks are beaming orange; the algae are vivid green, the sky is blue. So many colours to choose from. Just don’t make it overbaked.
- Textures. Rocks, sand trails, cliffs, colour variations. Just look around!
- Reflections. Look for the rock pool, puddles, slowly receding water on the sand and make use of the water reflections.
- Waves. Backlit waves are the best for their colours and details.
Soon you’ll be able to photograph hand-held without the need to use a tripod.
#5 Seascapes at Daylight
Most of the guides out there tell you to chill out and ignore the daylight. Of course, the light isn’t that great, harsh shadows, boring colours… But is there anything we can do? Surely, we still can create pretty seascape photography pictures during the day!
Have you tried to photograph the beach in the morning or evening? I’m sure you did. And you saw the ugly shadows created by the sand humps. The daylight fixes it making the sand nearly flat and bright. So, you can photograph the beach.
Now let’s talk about the water. Your best bet is the variety of colours and also the dancing highlights on the seabed. Of course, you won’t get any red or orange clouds, but instead, you’ll focus on the water itself. Just try to avoid harsh shadows in the background you choose.
All those “paradise beach” photos use daylight and look mesmerising. Also, aerial images (or just pictures you shoot from some height) look good as they accentuate the colours, not the shadows.
The final option to photograph is a long exposure with some very dark ND filter. Personally, I dislike this type of shots, but some people tend to like it.
Camera settings are simple – f/8 – f/16, ISO 100, shutter speed – whatever camera decides. If you choose to shoot the foam zoomed in, you’ll need a breakneck shutter speed and may still require raising ISO a bit.
Seascape subjects in daylight
- Shoot the beach to get rid of busy patterns and ugly shadows.
- Photograph dancing highlights on the seabed.
- Focus on the colours.
- Shoot aerial.
- The seafoam on a zoom.
- Long exposure with a dark ND filter.
#6 How To Shoot in Bad Weather
Sometimes the weather is cloudy or even overcast, and you start to wonder, like, hey what should I do if there is no Sun? I can assure you; there is a Sun, it’s just not visible. And I’m not trying to play a bad joke here! Because now it all depends on the thickness of the clouds. In case of a high density, you can safely stay at home unless you want something very moody. If the clouds are dense, but not thick enough, then you have a great chance to photograph something spectacular.
You can check the detailed information (for some locations) about the cloud cover using the Skippy Sky site.
How To Shoot A Moody Seascape
So, we’ve got a cloudy or even rainy sky and no sunlight. That’s not a big deal! In fact, we have a disadvantage of not having direct light, but in turn, we also have some advantages:
- Apparently, it’s darker than it would be, so we don’t need to shoot at fast shutter speeds, which means smoother water and better fluidity
- The sky is dark, and the sea surface is less reflective. This transparency means we can see more of the actual colour of the water, especially around the wave crashes.
- We don’t have any harsh shadows. The contrast is somewhat flat, but we can fix it during editing.
- We still have a chance to photograph the colour drama if the clouds are not overly thick.
I have written an article on this topic: How To Photograph Overcast Weather. It covers both total cloud coverage and the dramatic light in the nearly 100% cloud cover.
Also, there is a great trick. When the sky is pale and overcast and low contrast, get your raw file (you are shooting raw format, right?) into the Photoshop raw converter (ACR), open the Effects tab on the right and shift the Dehaze slider to the right. See the magic?
The story of One Moody Morning
Also, right after the sunrise, the Sun isn’t bright enough yet to get through the clouds. It gets stronger as it raises. So give it 10-15 minutes to get at least 5-10 degrees above the horizon and then hope for the best. Once it was unbelievably dull and grey, and I wanted to leave, but then decided to give it a go and wait for the extra 5 minutes. You won’t believe what kind of light I got! The sky stayed dark, but it did find some gap to lighten the sea and the shore. It was a level 80 drama.
6. Seascape Long Exposure Photography Ideas
We all know what the long exposure is doing to the water. It smooths the water out. But there is a difference!
Idea #1: Shooting at the Sea Level
20-240 seconds exposure. If we stay at the beach near the surface level, the unrest sea water turns into some foggy substance. If it were the lake, it would turn into an entirely flat mirror surface, but it isn’t the case with the sea or the ocean. Every wave has a different shape, and a ton of waves blended form some foggy substance. Some people admire it; some don’t. Personally, I don’t like this effect a lot, and I choose another option – the ocean from above. These ocean view pictures provide a great sense of scale too. If there are no waves, then you try those at the sea level.
5-10 seconds exposure. As it’s getting brighter, the shutter speed decreases. And the balance of interest also shifts towards the Sea Level. At these shutter speeds, we can blur the water and keep some texture. It still works from the top position and starts to work from the sea level too. The skylight is bright and contains a lot of colours already, so this period is an excellent compromise between longer exposures and water surface textures.
1-5 seconds exposure. This exposure is my favourite one; we can keep a lot of texture and do so many things. Blurred waves, flowing water traces, boiling sea (without getting too busy). Because each wave is different, this shorter exposure provides the most creative opportunities in seascape photography.
Idea #2: Photographing Ocean From Above
When we climb up the hill, all the waves become smaller and play a minor role in the photo. This perspective allows us to smooth them out evenly and to create a level surface with smooth colour transitions. This smoothing works particularly well when we have some solid and massive cliffs and moving clouds and want to get rid of extra busy action in the frame. Or, for instance, we have a free-standing rock in the water and want to accentuate it. Then we smooth out the water texture and then it compliments the main subject. Also, it’s easy to create a diagonal composition while standing on the cliff-top.
As the shutter speed becomes shorter than before, the water surface becomes too busy and no longer works for the large-scale shots unless these water ripples are the main subject of the photo.
Idea #3: Cloud Movement Long Exposure
The other part of the picture that works well with the long exposure is the clouds. They also blend and smooth and create a sense of movement. The cloud motion can enhance almost any coastal picture.
Idea #4 Abstract Seascapes
Abstract seascape photography is trendy these days. Online and offline galleries have a vast variety of such pictures. But the closer look reveals a lot of snapshots pretending to be modern art. Let’s not go this way and give it a thought before commencing a shoot. The difference is apparent for abstract photography.
As a general idea, you need a longer exposure time combined with zoomed in the lens. Focus on the waves. They will blend and smooth out, creating various shapes and colours. The hard part is to avoid total chaos. Look for patterns and beautiful lines. In general, we try to avoid the coast itself.
You may need to shoot many frames and then choose which of them work best. You may want to include the sky and apply normal composition rules, but you don’t have to. The shot without the sky is even more abstract.
Yet another approach for producing abstract seascapes is to use very long shutter speed. For this type of photo, clarity is the main factor. Try to avoid any distractions unless one of them is the main subject of the photo.
7. How do I Photograph Waves
The waves photography is sometimes treated as an individual genre, a whole new kind of seascape photography. There are a few approaches to photographing waves:
- Stand on the beach, zoom in.
- Include waves as part of the seascape.
- Get into the water, shoot them close using a wide-angle lens.
The best light for the waves photography is backlighting. It means the Sun is not behind you, it’s behind the wave and shines through it, revealing the deep greens and majestic cyans with some brilliant splashes at the crest. You need to stand at the sea level, i.e., on the beach.
The next right angle is a little from the side away from the Sun. It brings in more natural colours and perspective. You can also try the same angle from the higher position; I’ve reached some fantastic colours looking that way.
How To Photograph Crashing Waves
With the crashing waves, I recommend to shoot them from a distance using tele lens zoomed in. There are some pros out there, who take all the risks and photograph any waves close up, but I don’t recommend doing that until you gain a lot of experience. For the crashing wave, you need to choose your position so that you are 100% safe. Take a look around, are the rocks/sand around you dry? If they are not, maybe some waves reach here. You should be standing at the lowest point you can near the sea level. When you do so, the waves tower over the horizon bringing in more power and menace.
To photograph the waves close-up, you’ll need a camera housing. The pro version of it costs more than your camera, thousands of dollars. It has all the buttons, comfy handles, and other features. There’s also a budget version housing, which I also own. It’s a rubber bag with a transparent plastic at the front. It’s not as handy to manipulate but is okay. I’ve tried it a couple of times, and it worked for me. However, I was always worried about my camera. Nothing bad had happened. You need to dive under the wave split second before it crashes. Otherwise, it’s dangerous and will likely knock you over.
Wave Photography Camera Settings
In general, the larger is the wave in the photo, the faster shutter speed you need. For instance, if the tide is a part of the landscape and takes approximately 10-20% of the picture, you can get away with 1/250 of a second. If the wave occupies more than 20% of the frame, you’ll need 1/500. And finally, if it takes the majority of the picture, you’ll need 1/800 or even faster.
The aperture settings as not that straightforward, however. Let’s say, you zoom in and want to catch a wave. In this scenario, you need f/8 maximum. This setting means your subject will be in focus, while all foreground and all background will be out of focus. You can go creative and reduce aperture even further to make more blur around; it’s up to you and your vision. If the wave is a part of a landscape, you’ll need to go f/16 to get a more significant depth of field. Same things apply to the close-up wave photography – if you have a camera housing and get into the water, you’ll need f/16 to get the whole wave in focus.
The ISO works to help your shutter speed. Raise it as required to keep up with the light and minimum exposure time for your scenario.
Focusing On The Waves
Very Important! Set your camera to the continuous focus instead of a fixed one. This focus type allows you to press the button halfway down, lock the focus and track the wave. The focus will also update instantly automatically without the need to refocus. The setting is different for every camera, so consult the manuals. By the way, this tracking focus is handy for any moving objects, like kids, for example.
Photographing Waves Long Exposure
There is still a way to shoot the waves using a long exposure. It’s not a very long exposure as you would expect because a very long one will turn all your waves into the fog. We are looking for the perfect balance between smoothing and keeping the wave appearance. First of all, you need to press the button when the wave is about to barrel; it must be at its height. The exposure time should be 1/10-1/2 second, no more than that. The actual value depends on the speed of the wave. This approach will keep the colours and the shape while smoothing it enough to keep the fluidity feel.
8. Exposing Photos Correctly
The exposure is the amount of light reaching the camera sensor. It is affected by the aperture, shutter speed, and scene luminance. Also, in photography, it usually means a single shutter cycle. In other words, one click of the shutter button produces a single exposure, even if it’s a long one.
Correct Exposure Definition
Every camera can record a certain amount of information ranging from black to white. This amount of data is called a dynamic range. So, technically speaking, the correct or optimal exposure would be the one where all scene information has been recorded within this range. A photographer’s intent can also come into play and fix the definition. I.e., a photographer may intentionally underexpose a photo losing some details in the shadows and still get “correct” exposure – just because he wanted it this way.
How To Read Histogram
There is a particular chart, which helps us to deal with the exposure and luminance. It’s called a Histogram. The histogram contains multiple vertical bars going from left (black) to the right (white). Every bar shows the number of pixels of a particular shade of grey. So, if you have many black pixels, the first bar will be very high. If you have many white pixels, the last bar will be very high. This graph helps us to understand how close to the correct exposure we are.
This diagram below shows how the histogram correlates with the exposure.
An overexposed image is an image with the majority of the information on the right-hand side of the histogram.
An underexposed image is an image with the majority of the information on the left-hand side of the histogram.
How To Not Overexpose Sky
The issue is that some scenes have a much wider range of light intensities and the camera sensor just technically can’t record all the information within one shot. This scenario is when people say that the sky is too bright or the foreground is too dark. You’ve probably seen it – proper foreground and utterly white sky. Or a beautiful sky with a black underexposed foreground.
There are few ways to deal with these high dynamic range scenes and expose for sky and subject at the same time.
- Lens filters. There is a variety of filters available, which help you balance the exposure in different parts of the frame.
- Bracketing. Bracketing helps you to achieve the same result as with filters, but with more control.
- Underexpose. Sometimes you can get away with just one shot exposing for the brightest parts and then make everything else brighter during editing.
In this chapter, I’m talking about the graduated filters, which specifically target the exposure issues. The most common filters are GND2, GND4, and GND8. ND stands for the “neutral density,” which implies that the filter changes the light equally for all colours without modifying hues. The number near GND relates to the number of exposure stops it is darker than the transparent part. GND2 = 1 stop, GND4 = 2 stops, GND8 = 3 stops. The exposure stop means that the amount of light the sensor receives doubles or halves, i.e., +1 stop = doubles, -1 stop = halves.
The filters can be a soft edge and hard edge, and they should be used for the different scenes. The other type of graduated filter is a reverse filter. When your photo has a hard edge, like the horizon, the best choice is some hard edge filter. For the mountains, instead, you need to use a soft edge filter. The reverse would be a great idea to mute down the brightest part right above the horizon during the sunrise or the sunset.
Regarding the brand of the filter, I used to use Cokin. They are not overly expensive and have reasonable quality. However, they did create a colour cast when you stack 2+ filters together. I haven’t ever felt the need to upgrade to more expensive filters, like Lee of Nisi.
Previously, I used a lot of filters but gave it up eventually. Read further to find out why.
Bracketing is a technique where the photographer creates several photos quickly one after the other with a different exposure. Like, one picture is exposed for the foreground, the other one for the background. Typically, for a seascape, you’ll need two exposures with around 2-3 stops between them. Sometimes, in complex lighting situations, you may need three exposures. I have never needed more than three. Every DSLR has a bracketing mode; please refer to your camera guide. Typically, you can set a direction (will it increase or decrease the exposure for the subsequent shots), the number of shots, and the number of stops between each shot.
You will need to combine or blend the photos in the Photoshop or Photomatix or any other application.
Most modern cameras have a high dynamic range. So, in many cases, you can expose for the highlights and then bring up the shadows during editing. Of course, the quality is a tad worse than a correctly exposed image. The colours and contrast suffer the most. But it is still an option, and I often do it if the lighting allows. Raw is a must have for this opportunity as it won’t work with jpeg. Later on, you can either expose the raw twice and combine or do the editing during the raw conversion.
Same photo, the details recovered from the underexposed area during the raw conversion:
Graduated Filters vs. Bracketing
I’m telling you straight away – there’s no right answer, both approaches work. Some people prefer the filters, while others prefer bracketing.
The best advantage of the filters is that you fix the photo right in the camera and will need less editing later. However, it comes at the cost. I’m not ready to pay such a price. What about you?
- Filters work best for the level horizon. If there is an object, like a tree or a cliff, the filter will darken it too. And you will need to fix it later in editing.
- You get what you get. Sometimes, you may accidentally over-darken the sky without the ability to restore details or colours later.
- Sometimes you need to change filters as the light changes. And what’s more important, if you choose another direction, you may also need to detach/change a filter. You lose time while doing so and may miss the moment just because of this fuss.
- You need to carry a whole extra bag just for the filters.
- More editing and requires more time.
- More storage.
I found the issues related to the grad filters usage overwhelming, especially issues #2 and #3. I prefer to have more control and thus produce better quality. Although, it comes at the cost of additional editing time.
Other Filters For Seascape Photography
Even though I do not recommend gradual filters, there are different filters worth mentioning. And I do recommend to have them and to use them.
Same neutral grey filters but without a gradient. They are just equally grey all over. Photographers use them to reduce the amount of light to create long exposure shots. Some filters are so dark you could use them during the mid-day. In fact, I don’t recommend ND2 and ND4 as you can easily manipulate aperture and ISO to make your shutter speed a little longer (or use a polariser if you have one). You need to have ND8 or even ND400. The former is three stops; the latter is 8 2/3 stops. ND400 looks nearly black and makes your shutter speed very long. You may need to either focus manually or focus, then set your camera to the manual focus mode and then attach the filter.
ND filters landscape usage examples:
- Smooth water motion (any body of water – ocean, waterfall, stream).
- Avoid lens diffraction. When you go too far with the aperture, like f/18 and more, the picture starts to get more blurry instead of sharpening. Physics causes this. Usually, you’d need to stay at f/14-f/16 max.
- Get rid of moving objects. When people or other objects move on the more prolonged exposure, they smooth out so much that could disappear in the final image completely. When shooting a crowded city landscape, try a very long exposure to get rid of all distractions.
- Reach longer exposure time.
- Add motion blur to something, like the wave.
All in all, ND400 is a must-have for a landscape photographer. The image below is not precisely a day photo, but still a very long exposure for the amount of light I had at disposal.
By removing reflections and glare, this filter boosts the natural saturation of the image and darkens the sky. The polariser filter is often used just to darken the sky. Of course, the darker sky with bright clouds give the photo a bigger punch, but that’s a limited use! After all, you can replicate this effect later during the editing. Also, for the landscapes, we usually use wide angle lenses, and the filter’s effect isn’t big enough to cover all the sky. It causes the sky to be part dark and looks like a mistake (if the clear sky portion is significant enough and not covered with the clouds) rather than an exciting effect.
The other results are unique, and there is no workaround. There’s also a side effect – the filter is dark and works like an ND filter, reducing the light amount by 1-2 stops. The effect strength depends on the filter rotation angle with the most prominent results at 90 degrees. Here is a fantastic article explaining the physics if you really want to learn. In two words, the filter removes polarised light and the reflected light is polarised.
Polariser Filter Usage
The best usages of the polarising filter include:
- Foliage. By removing all little glares, you make the leafs juicy and vibrant and lush. Not really applicable to coastal photography.
- See through the water. If you have a body of water with something visible under the water surface (the rocks, the moss, seabed, etc.), you can adjust the filter to remove the glares and see through clearly. The busier is the water, the less effect the filter will produce because it works better on certain angles and unrest water is a mess of angles.
- Sky darkening. I believe this effect is overrated. Easy to replicate in editing. During the raw editing, just go to the HSL –> Luminance and drag the Blue slider to the left.
The more extended exposure with this filter brings in some pretty colours.
9. Backpack Checklist For Seascape Photography
Every single time I take someone out for sunrise, they are missing something important in their backpacks. So here is a list I send to anyone going out with me either on workshops or just having fun.
- The camera with a charged battery
- A lens suitable for seascapes (either wide or general zoom lens)
- Memory card
- Torch or headlamp. The only reason it’s not on the essentials list is that you can use your phone for that.
- Extra battery
- Cleaning cloth to wipe the splashes out
- Extra set of clothes – you may get wet
- Weather-friendly shoes, like crocs
10. Best Lens For Seascape Photography
It’s a very tricky topic to cover. There are many camera systems out there – Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony, Fuji to name a few. I will surely name a few who are great for sure, but I’d instead focus on the focal range parameters.
The classic solution for landscapes and seascapes, in particular, is a wide or ultra wide lens. To get the terms out of the way, here is an explanation:
Many photographers, including myself, use an ultra-wide lens. To be specific, I use a Tamron 15-30mm, which is a great lens, and I recommend it to everyone. Other successful photographers that I know use zoom lenses. For instance, Canon 24-105mm, which starts at a wide angle and finishes at the telephoto range. Admittedly, this approach is more flexible but comes at the cost of those essential millimetres. To add even more confusion, I have some fantastic seascape photos that I have created with 50mm (portrait) lens or even with 70-300mm lens.
How To choose Lens For Seascapes
What does it all mean? Every focal range would have some excellent lenses that you could use and make great photos. In the end, it boils down to your preference for the framing and photographic subjects. If you are just starting out, get a generic zoom lens, like Tamron 18-270 or Nikon 18-200 or whatever your manufacturer provides. Make sure to read the recommendations beforehand. Then create several thousand photos. And then browse through the images and have a look which focal length did you use more than the others. Which of the pictures work best for your vision. This approach is how you decide where to focus.
Be sure to calculate your EFL using this article: Effective Focal Length Calculator.
Some photographers think they can get away with those generic 18-200 lenses. I must disappoint you, it works from the start, but once you go serious, you’ll need a better lens. The bigger zoom is, the worse is the quality towards both ends.
Please note! The f-number is only essential if you plan to shoot the stars. In this case, the smaller is this number, the better photos you’ll get. Otherwise, disregard it for seascapes.
If you need some specific recommendations, I can suggest the following lenses for the wide-angle.
- AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm F3.5-4.5G ED
- Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II
- Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4
- Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM
- Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD for Nikon, and a similar one for Canon
- Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
- Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
- Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art, and another one for Canon
However, I accentuate it again, I have created some of my best shots with a common Nikon 50mm/1.8D and some excellent photos with Nikon 70-300mm. Once you grow, you want to update. You have a few options.
- Ultra-wide + normal zoom + telephoto
- Normal zoom + telephoto
- Ultra-wide + 50mm + telephoto (my choice)

Questions about Crying of Lot 49 Humanities Assignment Help
After reading the first three chapters of Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49, discuss the following:
- Though the most obvious reference is the name of Miles’s band, The Paranoids, there are several other instances of paranoia in the early chapters of the novel. What role does it seem to play so far in the novel? Is Oedipa also paranoid, or merely surrounded by other paranoid characters?
- There have been many forms of communication so far in the novel: a phone call, a letter, a radio station, a TV, a play, a “religious moment,” and images scrawled on a bathroom wall. What role does communication play at this point in the novel? How effective are they at communicating useful information?
- There is a lot of motionlessness in the early chapters, which is also countered at times by a sense of chaos (though this may be imagined). What do you think this represents?

If you're a real estate investor, you understand the importance of curb appeal. Enhancing the exterior of a property is key to attracting potential buyers or renters and raising the value of the property. Few improvements can make as big an impact as asphalt paving when it comes to enhancing the exterior. Here's a closer look at why asphalt paving is important for real estate investors and what you need to know about this service.
Paving Services Are Affordable
One of the most attractive features of asphalt paving services is that they're relatively affordable compared to other materials such as concrete or brick. As a result, asphalt is the less expensive option for driveways and parking areas, making it easier for real estate investors to get the most bang for their buck without breaking their budget. Furthermore, asphalt is more durable than other paving materials, so you don't have to worry about replacing it in just a few years.
Asphalt Is Easy to Install and Maintain
Another benefit of asphalt paving services that makes them so appealing to real estate investors is that they are much easier to install and maintain than other materials. Asphalt can be installed quickly since it doesn't require a curing period like concrete, which means it will be ready for use in no time. Furthermore, asphalt requires little regular maintenance once it has been installed. A seasonal application of seal coating every few years is all you need to worry about, making it easier for real estate investors to maintain a portfolio of properties.
It Increases Curb Appeal and Property Value
The biggest benefit of asphalt paving services for real estate investors is increasing curb appeal and property value. A well-maintained driveway provides an inviting entryway into your property while also increasing its overall value in the eyes of potential buyers or renters. Plus, since asphalt requires minimal maintenance, you won't have to worry about spending much money to keep your driveway and parking areas looking great year after year.
Asphalt paving services offer many benefits for real estate investors looking for ways to enhance the exterior of their properties without taking up too much time or money with maintenance tasks. From affordability to increased curb appeal, there are plenty of reasons why real estate investors should consider asphalt paving services when upgrading their properties. These services might just be one of the best decisions you make as a real estate investor.

Need Bark Mulch?
We’ve Got You Covered!
No job is too far for us…
We’ve worked from Redding all the way down to Bakersfield and everywhere in-between.
To provide more clarity for the estimator, you may consider including a note in the comments section of the quote request indicating your belief that the installation location is over 20 miles away from one of our distribution yards.
Please note: Access for a 65-foot long and 14-foot high tractor trailer is required for all job sites.
Request A Quote
"*" indicates required fields
Calculate coverage amount.
Please Enter the dimensions of your materials area (in whole feet):
How Much Mulch
Does My Yard Need?
3″ is the recommended depth for areas that have a base of bark down. If it is the first time you are putting bark down or it has been so long that you can see the roots of your trees and mostly bare dirt, then 4″ is ideal to re-establish a base due to the uneven ground that is exposed.
A quick way to determine the total cubic yards needed is by using the following shortcut, provided that you know the area in square feet you wish to cover.
Simply input “1” as the length value, the total square footage in the width field, and specify the required depth.
This is how you would input the values into the calculator section to determine the required amount of mulch for covering an area of 6000 sq ft with a depth of 3 inches.
To gain a better understanding of the proposal and ordering process, please refer to the following
Step 1: Once you have the total cubic yards required you can then request an installation proposal. Please be aware, Bark mulch is sold by cubic yards.
Helpful Tip: Our calculator above can help you calculate the total number of cubic yards needed.
To calculate the number of cubic yards needed for your project, you should measure the area and input the data, along with the desired depth.
Keep in mind, slopes and uneven surfaces require additional bark mulch beyond a basic “width by length” calculation.
Step 2: Upon receiving your proposal request, we’ll send you a written proposal with the pricing and terms within 24 hours of receiving your request (weekends excluded in the 24 hrs.).
Step 3: Make sure to carefully review the proposal to ensure that you understand everything. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns.
Step 4: If you’re satisfied with the price and terms, provide written approval to proceed by replying to the proposal email and including your consent.
Clarification: Consent can either be a signed proposal emailed back to us, or reply to the proposal email with “I approve the proposal and terms. Please schedule an installation date.” | <urn:uuid:8c2336d7-33c6-41bd-b338-575497a3b893> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://appliedlandscapematerials.com/calculator/ | 2023-09-28T17:51:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.921613 | 592 |

Soundcloud used to be my very favorite application on my phone and the very best music streamer. At least for a while until just like every other day I hop on soundcloud to listen to my 500+ liked tracks and what do I see? 47 liked tracks and I don’t even know where to start to get all my music back. I didn’t mind the occasional advertisement every now and then because how else did I expect my favorite to make money? But now I can’t find any of my favorited tracks almost all of them I don’t remember the name to because it was all on the liked track playlist that was so simple to play and I would just have it on shuffle play and I would be done, no reason to bother the speaker or my phone because I had it playing on its own. My profile is HoverbootsReckage or something like that and I will not take this one star off until my music is restored back to its original order and place. I have been a user since 2014 and I have watched Soundcloud develop and evolve, I am a very happy and proud customer and I have just recently decided to make a subscription for SoundCloud Go+ and this is what happens on the day I decide to make my decision. I am very unhappy with this and this has happened times before but with 1 or 2 songs at a time. Not with 500+.Edit: they are slowly being restored back to their order. Other than that SOUNDCLOUD IS GREAT. 5 Stars.
Soundcloud used to be my all time favorite app. I was able to listen to my music and find new music based on what I had already liked. It was perfect. I pay for SoundCloud go+ because I wanted the ability to save my playlists offline and listen wherever I go. And for a long time it worked flawlessly. My music was always there and it was just perfect. But recently I’ve noticed that my playlists will occasionally removed themselves from being saved offline which is frustrating because I’m then unable to listen to my music on my ride to work without using data. Also recently the app has been crashing very frequently. If I’m driving and listening to my playlist, it will just crash right in the middle of a song and the app will close itself. This is also very frustrating because I can’t very easily open my phone to start playing my playlist again while going 60mph down the highway. This app used to be perfect and used to work flawlessly. I dont know what happened. I would really appreciate any type of fix to these issues because I do not want to switch to another music app. However if these issues don’t get solved I may have to.Edit: I deleted and reinstalled the app and so far everything is working as intended. Apart from that period of inconvenience this is an amazing music app. 5 stars for sure.
So I’ve been using this app for the past 3 years and it has been amazing, but somethings I would wish could change as well as some issues I’ve ran into. The first thing is the UI, if I type in a song and I spell it wrong I wish it could put up something close to that and not say “ No Results”. Second thing is that I wish when you went into your saved playlist that you would start at the bottom or the newest song and not the top, but those I can live with so I own an IPhone X, I’m not showing off or anything but this thing has amazing speakers and for some reason when I play a song it crackles and pops which is soooo annoying, I’m an audio geek and I can not listen to a song when it cracks and pops it’s just infuriating. And the last thing is something that I’ve wanted for so long is to be able to post songs from your phone because not all of us own computers, and or laptops but the option to be able to post songs from your phone would be awesome. I hope you bring these ideas in consideration and hopefully are able to fix that bug but anyways I love this app and this is the only way to listen to songs that are posted by non singers or artists.

Hi, I am trying to understand if ory supports SSO. I checked the console and don't see the option. please advise.
04/06/2022, 1:53 PM
do you mean providing SSO for your application or allowing you to use SSO for the console?
04/06/2022, 2:32 PM
I would say both.
04/06/2022, 2:35 PM
There is an ongoing effort to implement SAML2:

InfoSeek Ultra: What is it?
InfoSeek Ultra (http://ultra.infoseek.com) is a new search engine service from the InfoSeek Corporation, a Californian company with some years experience of developing Web search engines and Internet directories.
InfoSeek Ultra is a new development; described as an “innovative new search technology designed to provide users with the easiest, most efficient way to find information on the Internet and the World Wide Web”. The service aims to expand upon InfoSeek’s existing search services and provide new levels of functionality, accuracy and speed.
Search engines generally work by using spiders - automated pieces of software which go out and cruise the Web looking for documents which can be indexed into a searchable database. InfoSeek Ultra claims to have taken this technology a stage further by using an “intelligent spider” in order to create a “real-time” index of Web resources. The spider is able to detect new and changed pages on the Web and add these pages to the index; updating earlier copies of documents whenever they change to ensure that the most up to date information is always available when searching the database. This should ensure that users doing searches on recent news topics should receive the very latest information available. The intelligent spider also filters out dead and duplicate links on the Internet as these are stripped from the index as soon as they become obsolete.
InfoSeek Ultra is currently available in a beta test version and not all features of the service are implemented as yet. The full release of the service is scheduled for later this year.
Size of database
The database currently stands at around 50 million unique URLs (at 1 Sept. 1996). The full text of all of these documents is indexed in the database. This makes InfoSeek Ultra one of the largest search engine indexes on the Web - Alta Vista is currently trailing behind with around 30 million URLs in its database.
How to search InfoSeek Ultra
So how would you actually go about performing a search on InfoSeek Ultra? Well, lets say, for example, you are looking for information on museums in London. You could use InfoSeek Ultra to see if the Natural History Museum has a Web page simply by typing “Natural History Museum” into the search form on screen. InfoSeek Ultra enables you to indicate a phrase or group of words which should appear together by placing them within quotation marks. It will then retrieve documents where these words appear in direct proximity to each other.
However, if you try this search you’ll discover that there are lots of Natural History Museums out there….at the time of writing, InfoSeek Ultra retrieved 6,202 documents which contained the phrase “Natural History Museum”, including ones in Florence, Grenoble and Las Vegas. So you need to narrow this search down. This can be done by adding the word London to the search.
InfoSeek Ultra uses the + (plus) and - (minus) characters to indicate AND and NOT. So if you wanted to search for the Natural History Museum in London you would type +“Natural History Museum” +London
This will ensure that InfoSeek Ultra should only retrieve documents which contain both the phrase “Natural History Museum” and the word London. You can also search using the OR operator by leaving a blank space between words or phrases.
InfoSeek Ultra also provides another searching feature. It is possible to search certain fields of a document in the index; so that if you wanted to find documents which contained the phrase “Natural History Museum” in their titles you could type title: “Natural History Museum”
The ability to use InfoSeek Ultra to search particular fields of a document also means that you can search to find out how many other documents on the Web contain hyperlinks to your own Web pages. This can be done by typing link:http://[your web page] into the search form on screen.
For anyone who has used Alta Vista in the past this search language will probably look pretty familiar and essentially it seems that InfoSeek Ultra doesn’t offer anything in the way of search language features which Alta Vista doesn’t already provide. Where the service does differ, however, is in its speed, use of relevancy ratings and accuracy.
From personal experience with different types of queries at different times of the day InfoSeek Ultra certainly seems to be extremely fast. A query can often be dealt with almost instantaneously. However, it’s not certain that this speed will be maintained if the service becomes extremely popular.
InfoSeek Ultra also seems to have made great strides forward on accuracy. Search results are automatically sorted and given a relevancy rating based on how well each document satisfies a query. So those documents which receive a high score for relevancy will appear high up in your list of results. The relevancy rating is influenced by the number of occurrences of query terms in a document and the position of the query terms in the document; so that if query terms appear near the start of a document or in the title this will give the document a high relevancy score. Weighting is also applied to certain words - so that those words which are relatively uncommon in the database will have a higher weight than more common words.
InfoSeek Ultra has a nice “special search” feature. If you click on the Special button in the title banner on the home page you get a number of search forms containing ready-formulated search constructions which enable you to search to see how many pages from your Web site have been indexed in InfoSeek Ultra, how many links there are from other Web pages to your pages and other field searches. You can also check your own pages for HTML consistency (via Imagiware), perform a search for Java applets (via Gamelan) and use a number of other “quick reference” tools such as email directories and standard dictionaries which are linked from here.
So where’s the catch?
InfoSeek Ultra is covered in advertising. The use of advertising on Web sites is something to which Web users are fast becoming reconciled; however InfoSeek Ultra does seem to have more than it’s fair share of animated adverts which flicker away at you distractingly as you’re trying to make sense of your search results. Obviously this is the price that users must pay for a service which is free at the point of use - adverts also pay for the continued development and enhancement of a service - however, they don’t really lend themselves to effective or clear interface design and can make the interface confusing for novice users.
It would also be nice to see InfoSeek Ultra with a couple of other features; in particular familiar Boolean searching language using AND, OR and NOT instead of + and - characters. This would make the search language easier to understand and use.
The ability to restrict a search to a particular date would also be useful in helping users to screen out older material. Although InfoSeek Ultra claims to be able to update the database with new pages whenever a document changes, this doesn’t help to screen out documents which have been around for a long time on the Web without having recently been updated. The full release of InfoSeek Ultra will contain a facility for sorting search results by date. | <urn:uuid:5dcde950-1379-4628-9af8-d96798d38cf6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ariadne.ac.uk/issue/5/web-searching/ | 2023-09-28T18:39:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.933484 | 1,532 |

Are you looking for a gun crime lawyer in Louisiana? It can be tough to wade through the legal system and find the right counsel that can serve your best interests. In any criminal case it is essential to get the right advice as soon as possible. If you are charged with a gun crime in Louisiana, having the right lawyer on your side can make all the difference
In this article, we will discuss how to find the best gun crime lawyers in Louisiana. We will look at the various criteria you should consider when selecting a lawyer, such as experience and knowledge of state laws. We will also discuss what kind of services they can provide, like representing clients in court or dealing with plea negotiations. Finally, we will examine some ways to ensure that you have chosen a reliable lawyer who has your best interests at heart.
What is a Gun Crime?
When it comes to gun crime, it is important to understand what constitutes a violation in Louisiana. A gun crime lawyer can help you understand the statutes, as well as the potential legal penalties for charges related to guns and firearms.
Gun crimes include, but are not limited to: discharging a firearm in public, possession of a firearm with an altered serial number or without the proper documentation, possession of a firearm while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, possession of a firearm while on school property, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, illegal possession of an assault weapon, unlawful discharge of a firearm; and carrying a concealed firearm without a permit.
Certain defenses may be available to individuals who have been accused of a gun crime. For example, a person may have a valid concealed weapon permit for the state of Louisiana. Additionally, the individual may have acted in self-defense or may have been unaware of the illegal status of the weapon. It is important to understand the legal nuances that could determine the outcome of a gun-related case and the best course of action.
A gun crime lawyer can help if you are charged with a gun-related offense in Louisiana. They can provide guidance and legal advice so you can understand the penalties associated with a charge and can assist if your case goes to trial. It is important to retain legal counsel if you are charged with a gun crime in Louisiana, as the penalties can be severe.
Understanding Gun Laws (in Louisiana)
Gun laws in Louisiana can be complicated and ever-changing, making it important to understand your rights and the laws that are in effect if you are facing gun crime charges. That’s where a gun crime lawyer in Louisiana can be helpful—they can provide insight and advice as to the best course of action to take when it comes to legal representation and defense.
Louisiana is a “shall-issue” state, meaning that local authorities must issue concealed carry permits if an applicant meets certain requirements. The state of Louisiana also has a “stand your ground” law, which allows for the use of weapons for self-defense. Additionally, Louisiana does not require background checks for the purchase of firearms from a private seller.
Weapons are strictly prohibited from certain places in Louisiana, such as schools, churches, and the premises of any alcoholic beverage outlet.
Finally, Louisiana permits citizens to open-carry a firearm as long as they are not doing so in a threatening manner. Open carry is also allowed on private property, with the permission of the owner.
For these reasons, it is important to seek the help of a gun crime lawyer in Louisiana when facing gun crime charges. With their expertise and knowledge of the laws, they can help guide you through the legal process and understand your rights. A gun crime lawyer will also advise you as to what actions to take and how to best protect yourself in a court of law.
It is illegal to possess a handgun in Louisiana without a permit that is issued by the local sheriff. Additionally, those who do possess a handgun are required to keep the weapon unloaded and securely stored away when not in use. Furthermore, gun owners must register any new purchases with their local authorities.
Violating these laws can lead to serious penalties, including jail time and a criminal record. With so much at stake, it is important to familiarize yourself with the local restrictions so you can protect yourself and your family. That is why it is wise to hire a gun crime lawyer if you are facing criminal charges related to guns in Louisiana.
A gun crime lawyer in Louisiana can help you understand the local laws and how they apply to your situation. They will also be able to advise you on the best course of action to take in your case. Your lawyer can also protect your rights and ensure that your constitutional rights are respected. Finally, they can defend you in court and make sure that the prosecution’s case is not unfairly applied against you.
If you are facing gun-related criminal charges in Louisiana, it is important to find a qualified gun crime lawyer to represent you. With their help, you can protect yourself and your family from the threat of serious penalties.
Unfortunately, due to the nature of gun crime laws, there is a potential for justice discrepancies. In Louisiana, gun crime laws are complex and varied, so it is essential to consult a gun crime lawyer to ensure that each individual’s rights are respected, regardless of the charge.
One potential issue is that due to the recent reforms in Louisiana gun laws, there is a wide range of circumstances in which someone accused of a gun crime can face steeper penalties than those who may be accused of a similar non-gun-related crime. For example, someone accused of brandishing a firearm in an altercation could face several years in prison, while someone accused of a battery without the use of a weapon could face a much lighter punishment. This discrepancy in sentencing can create an unequal playing field between the accused and can create a sense of injustice.
Tips for Finding The Right Gun Crime Lawyer in Louisiana
When it comes to a gun crime charge in Louisiana, it is important to select the right lawyer to represent you in court. Finding the right gun crime lawyer can be a difficult process, but following these tips can help you make the most informed decision.
First and foremost, you should start your search by seeking out qualified lawyers locally in the Louisiana area. It is important to hire counsel that is familiar with the laws and regulations in the state. When you conduct your research, be sure to look for lawyers that specialize in gun crime cases, as this will give you an edge in the courtroom. Check out reviews of reputable lawyers on Google or by asking friends and family for references.
In addition to researching local lawyers, it is essential to consider the attorney’s experience handling similar cases. You should also look into the lawyer’s reputation, education, and success rate. By doing your due diligence, you can narrow down your list of potential candidates and make an informed decision.
When you finally meet with the lawyer, it is important to feel comfortable and ask questions. This can help you determine if the attorney is the right fit for you.
Consulting trustworthy sources
It is important to remember that when facing a gun charge in Louisiana, consulting a trustworthy source is essential. The right gun crime lawyer can help you navigate the complicated legal system and make sure your rights are protected. To find reliable legal representation, there are a few steps you can take.
First, it’s important to research potential gun crime lawyers in your area. Check out their websites, read reviews from previous clients, and look for any awards or accolades the lawyer has received. It can also be helpful to visit the Louisiana Bar Association’s website for more information on any gun crime lawyers you are considering.
Next, you should talk to friends, family, and colleagues. Ask them if they have any recommendations for gun crime lawyers in your area. They may be able to provide you with valuable insight and help you narrow down your search.
It’s also a good idea to meet with potential gun crime lawyers in person to get a better feel for their expertise. During your consultation, express any concerns you have and ask questions about their experience. Make sure that you feel comfortable and confident with the lawyer you choose.
Finally, make sure you ask potential gun crime lawyers about their fees and payment policies.
By following these steps, you can ensure that you are consulting trustworthy sources and getting the legal representation you need. This can give you peace of mind as you navigate the complex legal system in Louisiana.
Keeping up with changing laws
Staying current with changing laws can be a challenge — especially when it comes to gun crime in Louisiana. It is important to seek the advice of a knowledgeable gun crime lawyer should you find yourself facing these charges. A lawyer can provide insight into the various laws and regulations that must be observed in Louisiana and can ensure that your rights are protected.
When it comes to gun crimes in Louisiana, there are several laws and regulations that must be taken into consideration. For starters, Louisiana requires individuals to obtain a permit to carry a firearm and those who carry without a permit may face criminal charges. State law also stipulates that certain types of restricted firearms require a permit and that certain individuals, such as prior felons or minors, may be prohibited from owning or carrying certain firearms. In addition, Louisiana requires that all firearms be registered and that certain parts and accessories, such as silencers, flash suppressors, and barrel shrouds, must be registered as well.
Louisiana law prohibits the use of guns in some public areas, such as schools, hospitals, and government buildings, and in some cases, even private homes may be restricted. Additionally, guns may only be used for the purpose of self-defense and the use of handguns or long guns in the commission of a crime is strictly prohibited.
It is essential that individuals facing gun crime charges in Louisiana seek the advice of a knowledgeable gun crime lawyer. An experienced lawyer can provide invaluable insight into the laws and regulations that must be adhered to and can ensure that your rights are protected. A gun crime lawyer can also provide legal representation in court, helping to minimize potential penalties and fight for the best possible outcome. In addition, a gun crime lawyer can provide advice on the measures that can be taken to protect your rights and avoid criminal charges when carrying a firearm.
By keeping up with changing laws and seeking the advice of a gun crime lawyer, individuals in Louisiana can make sure that their rights are protected and that they stay in compliance with state laws.
Potential impact on your career
If you are found guilty of a gun crime, there are serious consequences that could have a major negative impact on future job opportunities. Having a gun crime on your criminal record can make it difficult for you to find employment. The stigma of having a gun offense is often seen as a mark of ill repute and potential employers may be uncomfortable hiring someone with that type of criminal history.
There could also be serious legal ramifications that could further harm one’s future career prospects. Depending on the severity of the gun crime, a person may face fines, imprisonment, or a combination of both. If convicted of a gun-related crime, an individual could be prohibited from owning a firearm in the future, which could limit their ability to pursue certain job opportunities, such as those in the military or law enforcement.
Additionally, a gun crime conviction could also result in a lifetime loss of certain civil rights. This could include a person’s right to vote, own a gun, or hold public office. In a state like Louisiana, where voter turnout is often a critical factor in electoral outcomes, losing the right to vote could severely impact a person’s ability to actively participate in their government.
It is essential for people living in Louisiana to understand their state’s gun laws and to consult an experienced, dedicated gun crime lawyer if they find themselves in a difficult legal situation. With the help of the right lawyer, you can protect yourself and your future. Because laws are continuously changing, it is vital to remain informed and consult trustworthy sources to help you navigate any potential gun crime. By taking the time to understand your rights and selecting a gun crime lawyer with the necessary expertise, you can protect yourself and your future.

Experience, the joy of volunteering
Why do people volunteer
We all know that volunteers’ contributions help organizations provide services that may not get done otherwise. But volunteers also can gain experience that they may not get elsewhere, such as building their confidence and self-esteem.
Volunteering provides a unique opportunity
It connects people with very specific shared values. Volunteers are also people who also share things like a willingness to step outside their comfort zone, an openness to spending time on a community effort, a proclivity for engaging in team-oriented activities, and a desire to contribute to the well-being of others.
Meet New People and Build Community
Being a part of a team with a common goal will help you form bonds with strangers that can be life-changing. Volunteering inherently means helping people, and that means you’ll be creating meaningful relationships with others and increasing your social interactions.
Learn through Experience
Learning about cultures and ways of life that are different from one of your upbringing will increase your social flexibility and expand your world-view. It will also raise awareness of the issues that other people deal with and will increase important social skills like empathy and teamwork.
Empowering Tribal Communities
In the last decade, AROEHAN has increased its footprint across Mokhada, Jawhar, Palghar, and Dahanu blocks of Palghar district and established credibility in the area especially for its work in water conservation, health and nutrition, solar based irrigation and for introducing farmers to second cropping during the rabi season for growing vegetables and engaging in floriculture. | <urn:uuid:aabb9b3b-ae7f-4253-a59c-20f4071389b2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://aroehan.org/ | 2023-09-28T18:19:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.932359 | 723 |

I was contacted by a friend that writes for Animation Career review and they posted this great interview with me.
Take a gander at it. It sorta sounds like I know something about the animation industry. Enjoy.
Friday, July 15, 2011
One thing I've already learned from this process is that a lot of people are genuinely
interested in the the process and then making of. Which is great. I know I always love the behind
the scenes stuff in movies.
Here's one step further.
Here is the entire short (minus titles and credits) in rough animation form.
This is the step where I don't worry about a perfectly clean line. I'm just drawing
roughly to try and get the motion and timing down for the animation.
I then take this and clean it up later after I'm happy with the animation.
When you're looking at 2D movies like Aladdin or Lion King. And you here the name of an "ANIMATOR"
this is what they are doing.
There are a bunch of other steps to go past the animator till it gets to the big screen.

After coming to a complete hault on this project due to clean up. I finally was able to start colouring my Harry Potter spoof in. By the way it's officially titled. HARRY POTTER: SAY THE MAGIC WORD. Doing clean up was really tedious but it's finally done. I wasn't going for a perfectly clean line or anything. Just trying to draw lines to fill in. I'm trying to get this short out by the time the last Harry Potter movie comes out which is this weekend so I'm in full panic.speed mode right now. Wish me luck. There's no effects in this test yet. I just wanted to post an update.

When it comes to butchering meat, safety should always be a top priority. In addition to handling sharp knives and heavy equipment, there are also potential health hazards that come with handling raw meat. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can help reduce the risk of injury and illness, making it a crucial component of any butcher’s toolkit.
In this article, we will explore the importance of PPE in butchering and provide a guide to some of the most essential equipment for butchers.
Why is PPE important in butchering?
Butchering can be a dangerous and messy job. Without the right equipment, it is easy to accidentally cut yourself or inhale harmful particles. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is designed to minimize these risks and ensure that butchers can perform their work safely and efficiently. By providing a barrier between the butcher and the meat, PPE helps to prevent cross-contamination, which is particularly important when working with raw meat.
What are the essential PPE for butchers?
- Gloves: Disposable gloves are essential for handling raw meat. They provide a barrier between the butcher’s hands and the meat, preventing the spread of bacteria and other harmful substances. Nitrile gloves are a popular choice as they are resistant to punctures and tears.
- Apron: A heavy-duty apron is necessary to protect clothing from being soiled with blood and other fluids. An apron made of durable, waterproof material is ideal for this purpose.
- Boots: Butchers should wear slip-resistant boots with a steel-toe cap to protect their feet from heavy equipment and potential spills.
- Hairnet: To prevent loose hair from contaminating the meat, butchers should wear a hairnet or hat.
- Eye and face protection: Eye and face protection are crucial for butchers, as they help protect against blood spatters and other debris. Safety glasses or goggles, as well as a face shield, can provide adequate protection.
- Respirator: A respirator can help protect butchers from inhaling harmful particles or fumes. This is particularly important when working with chemicals or when cutting bones.
Tips for using PPE effectively
- Always inspect PPE before use to ensure that it is in good condition and free of defects.
- Dispose of gloves and aprons after each use to prevent cross-contamination.
- Clean and disinfect PPE regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria and other harmful substances.
- Store PPE in a clean, dry area to prevent damage and contamination.
- Use PPE that is appropriate for the task at hand. For example, heavy-duty gloves may be necessary when working with bones, while disposable gloves are sufficient for handling meat.
In conclusion, personal protective equipment is an essential component of butchering. By providing a barrier between the butcher and the meat, PPE helps to prevent cross-contamination and reduce the risk of injury and illness. The gloves, apron, boots, hairnet, eye, and face protection, and respirator are some of the most essential pieces of PPE for butchers.
By using PPE effectively, butchers can ensure that they are working safely and efficiently, protecting themselves and their customers from potential hazards. | <urn:uuid:22c35844-4fac-4138-93b1-64197e5df027> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://artofthebutcher.com/importance-of-ppe-in-butchering-personal-protective-equipment/ | 2023-09-28T17:39:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.922052 | 674 |

The Everything Everywhere All At Once star has been in the industry for nearly four decades. She has appeared in films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Crazy Rich Asians.

If you want to trade under a specific name, you need to register it as a business name with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
You don't need to register a business name if you trade under your own name ('John Smith'), but you'll need to have a business name if it's anything else ('John Smith Plumbing').
The ABN Lookup contains a list of all Australian Business Numbers (ABNs). When you register a business name with ASIC, it will also be displayed against the associated ABN record on ABN Lookup.
Before 28 May 2012, the Australian Business Register (ABR) collected names used by entities to carry out their business activities. The ABR display these names as trading names, but trading name records have not been updated since the national business names register commenced on 28 May 2012.
Trading names do not meet the requirements of a registered business name.

- The name I want is not available. What should I do?
- Once I've registered, what do I need to do?
If you would like to remove the trading name appearing against your ABN, you will need to contact the Australian Business Register (ABR).
You can register your business name online using the Australian Government's Business Registration Service.
You cannot register a business name that is identical to one already on the register.
The fees for registering a business name are:
- $42 for one year
- $98 for three years
Once your registration period is over, you'll need to renew your business name if you still want to trade. The fees for renewal are the same as registration.
If the name you want isn't available, we recommend altering your choice so that it differs from any existing names. For example, instead of "Bunch of Apples', try 'Sam's Bunch of Apples'.
Once the business name has been registered, we'll email you a copy of your record of registration. You can then trade using the name.
If your details change, you must update your details with us. (for example, if you've moved addresses).
You must prominently display your business name wherever you're open to the public, like at your storefront. You must also include your ABN on any business correspondence that you send out, like invoices or purchase orders. | <urn:uuid:e101f950-a731-40d1-8490-0d49ddfa259c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://asic.gov.au/for-business/registering-a-business-name/before-you-register-a-business-name/trading-names/ | 2023-09-28T17:26:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.928215 | 510 |
Joe Biden contends that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) changes need to be reexamined and, in many cases, repealed – replacing these changes with either the old tax requirements or newer proposals. President Trump, on the other hand, has campaigned to make the TCJA modifications a permanent change to the tax code rather than allowing them to expire in 2025.
This deliberation is important to those that are considering making gifts and those that are in the financial position to make said gifts in order to escape the possible negative tax implications of a Biden win. If Joe Biden wins and the Democrats take the Senate, there is a very strong likelihood that the exemption could be retroactively reduced, effective January 1st, 2021. In order to ensure that your estate is protected from the possibility of an exemption rollback, it is vitally important for you to create a contingency plan that would be able to be implemented as soon as possible before the close of 2020.
When examining these vastly different tax proposals, it is clear that there is a very real possibility that estate taxes could be significantly increased if Joe Biden and the Democratic party obtain control over Congress and the Presidency. If the tax proposals of Joe Biden are implemented and Congress makes any tax changes retroactive to January 2021, then millions of dollars of gifts could become nonexempt overnight. Decreasing the exemption from $11.58 million to between $5 million and $3.5 million, the elimination of stepped-up basis, and the increase of the tax rate applicable to taxable transfers all create a much more unfavorable tax climate for high net worth individuals. Tools that can be utilized to minimize transfer taxes for those who face them based on net worth include gifting the full exempt amount ($11.58 million) before the end of the year, potentially through the use of SLATs or dynasty trusts.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the valuation of your business may have decreased as a result of falling occupancy rates, shutdowns, lower actual or projected revenue. The side effects of the worsening economic position that we find ourselves in, coupled with the historically low-interest rates, create a favorable climate for the immediate gifting of business assets. With the decline in valuations of many American businesses, thoughtful consideration when examining your estate gifting plan combined with the expert help of estate planning attorneys can ensure that the gifts you make before 2021 will have the most effect.
While there is no guarantee that the tax changes proposed by Joe Biden will become law, those who would be impacted ought to consider a contingency plan. Frost Law estate attorneys can work with you to determine your gifting options and advise on the best strategies for you and your family. | <urn:uuid:1f8fbfdd-0282-4fdd-b4ec-3ea4493b4301> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://askfrost.com/news/joe-bidens-presidency-could-dramatically-alter-estate-tax-create-your-ready-to-implement-contingency-plan | 2023-09-28T17:45:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954896 | 552 |
Minecraft features a wide range of real-life aspects to make your survival craft gameplay experience better. Besides featuring tons of materials, items, biomes and possibilities, the game also features a wide range of animals and insects.

About Bees in Minecraft
Bees are one of the coolest mobs in the game. They look adorable and flies around the game world. They are not hostile towards players but will hurt them once they are threatened by them. But the most interesting importance of bees is that they help with pollination. It is a key element in Minecraft that will help your farming abilities raise new grounds.
Where to find bees in Minecraft?
You can quite easily locate bees in the game with much of a hassle. All you need to do is look for them in the right places. For starters, they only spawn in the Overworld and not in the Nether, like most overworld mobs.
They are commonly found in the Meadows biome, this is where your chances of coming across them are highest. They also spawn in the Plains, Forests, Sunflower Plains, Birch Forests, and Flower Forests biomes in the game.
How to locate them?
They are very small creatures so you should have a keen eye towards your nearby environment. First thing first, look for beehives on your surrounding trees. There should be a number of them flying around. Beehives can only be found on normal Oak and Birch trees in Minecraft.
How to catch a bee in Minecraft?
So now that you have successfully managed to locate a bee, this is how you are going to capture it.
You can mine the beehive by a pickaxe with Silk Touch enchantment. This will not disrupt the bees inside and you will be able to carry the beehive to a location of your liking. If you Equip a flower near bees, they will follow you around. It is a tedious process but a useful one.
Another interesting, and funny, way of catching a bee is with a lead. Lead in the game is used to transports animals like cows, horses, Llamas, etc. But you can also use it on bees and take it along with you.
These were also the necessary information that you needed to know for your bee quest.

In a recent blog post, How to Expand a Disk within a VM That Is Using a VHD File, I showed you how to expand a VHDX file in logical disk size. I did this because I had a problem with the auto-growth of my SQL Server logs. Now that this problem is fixed, I want to return the VHDX file back to its normal logical size of 128GB, and make the VHDX file as small as possible. This blog post will show you how to shrink the size of a VHD file.
I can hear some of you saying, “Why? You are using a dynamically expanding VHDX file, so why bother compacting and shrinking the file?”
As a refresher, remember that a dynamically expanding VHDX file will start at a few MBs and grow as files are added to the virtual hard drive. If you delete a file within the virtual hard drive, the space is freed up only with the virtual hard drive and not from the physical VHDX files. To put it another way, once the VHDX file is expanded, it will never shrink without you following these steps.
Here are a few reasons why you would want to shrink the VHDX file:
· Shrinking the VHDX file to the smallest possible size will save disk space on the host.
· A small VHDX file leads to faster backups. 3GB is a lot faster to copy than 128GB or 256GB.
· If a problem like the SQL Server log auto-growth happens again, I want to know about it sooner rather than later. By having a small logical VHDX file size, this problem will be seen, hopefully, earlier.
How to Compact Size of a VHD File
To begin with, I always recommend that you never install anything on the C:\ drive. It can be a huge pain to logon to a server when the C:\ drive is out of space. This of course will depend on your GPO security settings!
In my blog post, How to Expand a Disk within a VM That Is Using a VHD File, I expanded my VHDX file to 1.2TB. In a later blog post, What Is the Problem with My SSRS Server?, I cleaned up the SSRS log file, thereby returning the server to its normal operating state. The screenshot above shows you that I cleaned up my virtual hard drive and that 1.24TB are free and only 2.2GB of space are used.
Now looking at the physical VHDX file, I can see that it is 256GB in size (of a possible 1.2TB), but in the first screenshot you can see it’s using a little over 2.2GB of space within the VHDX file. Using the processes below, I will first shrink the volume size to 128GB then compact the physical VHDX file to the smallest possible size.
How do you go about this process? In a nutshell, I will perform the same steps I did to expand the VHD, but in reverse. I need to start with the VM itself by cleaning-up, defragging and shrinking the volume size.
VM Clean-up Tasks
There are several things to note before getting started:
- You should make a copy of the VHDX file before starting, or have a good backup of the server.
- Within the VM make sure that the Recycle Bin is emptied.
- You need to defrag the drive BEFORE shrinking the volume size and compacting the VHDX file.
- Multiple defrag passes might be needed.
- If the disk has any issues, it will NOT shrink or compact. Make sure that chkdsk is run.
Shrink the Volume Size
Open Computer Management and select the Disk Management node. Next, select volume (E:), right click on it and select Shrink Volume…
Wait for Computer Management to analyze the volume.
I will select the suggested new size. Click Shrink to continue.
Now my disk is back to 128GB in size. Time to compact the VHDX file. I’ll start by shutting down the VM.
Compact the VHDX File
These next set of steps will reduce/compact the physical size of the VHDX file.
In Hyper-V Manager, bring up the Settings page for the VM. Click on the Edit button.
Select Compact and then click Next. This will reduce the phyiscal size, but not the logical size of the VHDX file.
Now if you look at the VHDX’s file size, it was reduced to the bare minimum size of 3GB. Keep in mind that your minimum size may be different.
Shrink the size of a VHD file
These next steps will shrink the logical size of the VHDX file.
Again, in Hyper-V Manager, bring up the Settings page for the VM. Click on the Edit button.
Select Shrink and then click Next.
Set the New size to 128GB, and then click on the Finish button.
Click OK to close the VM’s Settings window. Now start the VM.
Review Volume Size
After logging onto the VM, review the disk size. Notice that it is back to its original size.
Now look at the physical VHDX file (see screenshot above). It is now 3.03GB in size. When you compare this to the 256GB it was at the beginning of this blog post, that’s a huge size difference. This will help make my backups faster due to the smaller file size!

India currently presents one of the best investment opportunities. With its fast economic development, it is a chance that all traders shouldn’t miss.
India lands in third place in the number of start-ups, and it’s ever-growing. Because the world is becoming more and more connected, the effects of India’s rise are felt all over.
Seasoned traders are looking into the market and taking every opportunity they get.
They access websites and inform themselves about the trading situation in India.
As a trader, you need to look at the forex market timings india today and make an informed decision.
In this article, you will learn how India’s start-up ecosystem affects traders, its potential, and how to benefit from it.
Forex Trading as a Global Phenomena
Forex trading has shaped economies since its founding in the 1970s. Growing from a US-based exchange into an international market very quickly.
With the introducement of technology and the perks it brings, the foreign exchange market has never been more accessible.
Online platforms make it easier to view changes and understand indicators, which are recommended when making a trade.
But some countries are late bloomers. Such an example is India, which ranks in the top ten fastest-growing economies in the world.
India’s Start-up Trend
India is the next best investment opportunity, and the time to consider investing is now. The pure untapped potential is unmatched.
The government of India invests billions in start-ups, and the results are excellent.
With most start-ups, the two main things you need are great ideas and capital. As mentioned, the capital part is well covered, which only leaves excellent ideas.
The population of India is one factor that more or less guarantees that there will be many great start-ups.
There have been many projects in India that encourage entrepreneurs to think of innovations and progress.
Those projects are often international and paired with already successful start-ups. The benefits of these are apparent in India’s rising GDP.
How a Forex Trader Should Look at India’s Start-up Ecosystem
Forex Trading is all about discovering opportunities and taking hold of them. Traders should research India’s market and search for promising start-ups.
A big part of all Indian start-ups is their large consumer base. With a country as populous as India, large numbers of users are almost guaranteed, and with that, more investment opportunities.
The hard part is recognizing the up-and-coming start-ups that India has to offer. This next part will inform you on what to look for.
Discovering Which Start-ups Matter
The tricky part is that start-ups need to bring a new and fresh idea that hasn’t been done before, or at least not in that way. Look for a start-up that satisfies the needs of the market.
Technology-based start-ups can directly affect Trading by bringing changes to trading as a whole—for example, new payment systems, improvements to e-commerce, etc.
Factors to look out for in a start-up are team expertise, competition, uniqueness, etc. Looking at past successes from India, such as Flipkart, Zomato, and others, is an excellent way to find out what satisfies the needs of the Indian economy.
Successful start-ups also boost the Indian economy, with it the Indian rupee and how it scales with other currencies. Tracking this will surely give you an advantage over other traders.
Challenges With Forex Trading Based on India’s Performance
Of course, as with every Forex market, India’s market is also very complex. With countries that have new and emerging markets, the risk is always higher, but so is the potential.
Indian forex markets breathe new air into the trading space and, with it, new problems. Traders need to do research and analyze the market carefully. Traders need to get creative with research as most of the online content in India is not in English.
As with most lucrative things, the new frontiers are always competitive. You need to be able to work harder and be more intelligent than most people if you want results to show. This means putting in the hours to properly inform yourself before making a trade.
Why Can’t Indian Start-ups Be Ignored?
Primarily all start-ups can change markets in unpredictable ways. It has been done before and always will be. One of the characteristics of start-ups is that they are innovative, and with innovation comes change.
Secondly, as we mentioned, Indian start-ups are bound to influence large amounts of people. Failure to recognize the influence of them would only bring you, the trader, negative effects.
The introducement of India to the global market is nothing short of a great opportunity for investors alike. Many traders are seizing the chance and are making lucrative amounts of capital from it.
Past successful start-ups have proved that India is fertile ground for many more. Traders have the unique opportunity to access a new and volatile market.
But with volatility comes risk. Traders are to be careful when making trades and are encouraged to do thorough research before locking in on a trade.
The one thing that a trader mustn’t do is ignore the evergrowing Indian market and the changes it brings. | <urn:uuid:9dbd9043-39c9-46af-96e4-4dc7c3acd630> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://asoothingliving.com/forex-trading-and-indias-start-up-ecosystem/ | 2023-09-28T17:57:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.948359 | 1,123 |

Nels Elde, evolutionary geneticist at University of Utah Health, has been awarded a MacArthur Fellowship, popularly known as a “genius grant.” The highly regarded honor goes to talented individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction.
Elde is one of 21 Fellows in 2020 who come from a variety of fields, each receiving $625,000 in stipends with no strings attached. The fellowship is considered an investment in a recipient’s potential to exercise their own creative instincts for the benefit of human society. Elde says he may invest some of the funds into a storytelling project that highlights the ingenuity and humanity of science heroes.
“Dr. Elde has achieved a hallmark in the scientific community,” says Michael L. Good, senior vice president for Health Sciences and CEO of U of U Health. “His innate ability to think creatively about unsolved problems inspires all of us to do the same in our quests to advance knowledge. University of Utah Health is extremely proud of him and his accomplishment, which is representative of our faculty’s desire to improve the world.”
Elde learned about the award in a phone call arranged under the pretenses that he would comment on another candidate who was up for the fellowship. Instead, the caller revealed that Elde had been awarded the honor. “I couldn’t have been more surprised,” Elde says. “I am overwhelmed and happy, humbled and honored.”
In 2011, Elde joined the U as an assistant professor. Since then, his laboratory has studied the ultimate experimentalist: evolution. Their investigations stem from the fact that an organism’s genome—the complete set of genetic instructions—bears evolutionary changes that have occurred over millennia. Viruses drive many of these changes as animals evolve new ways to survive microbial infections. Studying how these virus-animal conflicts have changed biology provides insights into how the body’s defenses, including the immune system, are built and how they work.
Elde is taking this line of research a step further by comparing how animals that reside on far-off branches of the family tree defend themselves against viral infections. Learning why some succeed while others fail could ultimately inform new kinds of interventions to prevent, or treat, viral infections that are harmful to humans.
“We’re figuring out how to squeeze biological meaning out of genome-scale data,” Elde says. “Someday, we may get to a point where we can look in the genetic medicine cabinet and select genes off the shelf that will short circuit a virus.”
As Elde talks about his research, he seamlessly shifts from one topic to another: growing tomatoes, podcasting about evolution, raising pets, hiking in the foothills with colleagues, a chance meeting with a local celebrity chef. In the course of conversation, you get the sense that the many facets of his life are part of an inseparable continuum, with each experience enriching the other.
That’s one of the things that makes Elde stand out, says his postdoctoral mentor, Harmit Malik, a professor at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Elde has a gift for making connections that seldom few can. “An entire roomful of people will be listening to the same scientific talk and he has the insight to ask the one question that no one else is asking but that everyone should be asking,” Malik says. “It’s not fair to call him ‘outside the box’ because he is so far beyond that.”
Elde credits his inquisitive nature to his Minnesota upbringing in a family of artists, scientists, and ministers. Growing up in a little-known Swedish church, he spent countless hours eavesdropping on theological discussions and philosophical meanderings. From his mom and sister, he learned the joy of artistic expression, which he infuses into his descriptions of science. “Listening to him, one might be tempted to think you were in a midst of an exciting novel you cannot put down,” Malik comments. And from Elde’s dad, a neuroscientist, he inherited an incessant curiosity of the unknown.
These foundations have served him well. Elde has earned numerous honors, including being named a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences, Burroughs Wellcome Fund Investigator, Kavli Foundation Fellow and the Mario R. Capecchi Endowed Chair in Genetics from 2011-2017. Research from his lab has been highlighted by The New York Times, The Atlantic, Wired Magazine and National Geographic.
While he is proud of his achievements, Elde says his finest accomplishment is the success of his trainees. Just as his favorite mentors did for him, he encourages them to see science as an endless playground to explore.
“Utah continues to be a fun place to cultivate creativity,” Elde says. “I’m excited to see what will happen on the scientific adventures ahead.”
In addition to Elde, six other University of Utah faculty have received MacArthur Fellowships. They are developmental biologist Susan Mango (2008); evolutionary biologist Eric Charnov (1997); biologist Sharon Emerson (1995); evolutionary ecologist Jon Seger (1987); poet and writer Mark Strand (1987) and evolutionary biologist Michael Ghiselin (1981). Elde proudly points out that he is the 10th native Minnesotan to be awarded the honor. | <urn:uuid:60e0c5d8-637c-4196-b351-76d9956a2be3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://attheu.utah.edu/facultystaff/a-genius-in-our-midst-u-of-u-health-geneticist-awarded-prestigious-macarthur-fellowship/ | 2023-09-28T18:03:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966804 | 1,140 |

Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the role of first-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel and platinum in the treatment of advanced or recurrent cervix cancer. Methods. Twenty patients with advanced or recurrent cancer of the cervix with no prior chemotherapy and measurable disease were entered in a phase II trial from September 1995 to September 1998. Seventeen patients were treated with paclitaxel at 135 mg/m2 over 24 h followed by cisplatin at 75 mg/m2 every 4 weeks. Three patients with impaired renal function were treated with paclitaxel at 135 mg/m2 over 3 h with carboplatin at 300 mg/m2. Results. A clinical response rate of 45% was noted (two complete responses and seven partial responses) with a median duration of 6 months (range: 1.5-9). The median progression-free interval and overall survival in patients with a clinical response was 10.5 and 13 months, respectively, compared to 4 (P = 0.015) and 6 months in the nonresponders (P = 0.14). Seven of nine patients (77.8%) with a clinical response are alive. Patients with recurrences outside the radiation field had twice the response rate (60%) than that of those within the radiated field. The chemotherapy was well tolerated; the most significant toxicity was grade 3/4 neutropenia (55%). No patient had discontinuation of chemotherapy due to toxicity. Conclusions. First-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel and platinum for advanced and recurrent cervix cancer is promising and deserves consideration for large phase III trials.

Strathcona County cannabis is used as a recreational drug and has been legalized in Canada. Therefore, it is important to know how to choose cannabis for smoke in Strathcona County, Canada.
When choosing Strathcona County cannabis
The first thing that you should do when choosing Strathcona County cannabis for smoke is to determine the type of cannabis that you are going to smoke. The two most common types of cannabis are: indica and sativa. Indica has a higher THC content than sativa and therefore it makes the user feel sleepy after smoking it. Sativa on the other hand contains a higher concentration of CBD than THC and therefore helps in relieving anxiety and stress while having a positive effect on moods.
Since there are so many different types of cannabis available, one should be able to identify which type they want to use when choosing their preferred strain for smoking. If they already know what kind they want, then all they need to do is pick up their favourite strain from the dispensary.
In this article, we will discuss the importance of choosing the right Strathcona County cannabis for smoke. We will also share some information about how to choose cannabis for smoke in Strathcona County, Canada. | <urn:uuid:c6ef01b7-7b48-4006-b104-ee71c8edb1ee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://aurora-weed.com/strathcona-county-cannabis/ | 2023-09-28T17:09:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.951449 | 253 |

C G Jung’s Psychological Types Reading Group with Peter Geyer – Orientation session
October 20, 2022 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm AEDT
Ever wanted to read C G Jung’s Psychological Types but found it challenging or daunting? If so, you’re not alone! It’s the foundation of all that we do in psychological type and AusAPT, so we’re pleased to be kicking off the Psychological Types Reading Group with an orientation session on 20 October.
The Reading Group will be an opportunity for AusAPT members to read C G Jung’s Psychological Types together over about a year with the guidance of Peter Geyer, custodian of the Type Research and Practice Collection and long-time researcher and presenter on Jung and Psychological Types. We’ll meet monthly to discuss the concepts and ideas we’ve read.
The orientation session is free and open to all on Thursday 20 October, 7pm – 8:30pm AEST/Melbourne time. But note that you will need to be an AusAPT member once we kick off on 10 November.
Register in advance for the 20 October orientation session:
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the session.
We’ll talk more about how the Reading Group will work in the orientation session, but here are a few key details for once we start:
1/ We’ll meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month starting 10 November, 7-8:30pm Melbourne time.
2/ The Reading Group is FREE for 2022/23 AusAPT members and will run till around October 2023.
3/ You need to be an AusAPT member to join in the Reading Group from 10 November.
Below is advice prepared by Peter Geyer about what to expect with commentary also on editions of the text.
Advice ahead of the Orientation session and Reading Group
The following is a guide for those interested in engaging with others in an online discussion of C.G. Jung’s book Psychological Types facilitated by Peter Geyer.
The discussion involves regular meeting and set reading of chapters or parts of chapters in sequence (some chapters are very long).
The emphasis is on what Jung wrote at the time of initial publishing (1921/3) rather than later commentaries, although these can be part of a discussion.
There are many editions of Psychological Types, even in English, where there are two translators of the original text: H.G. Baynes (1923) and R.F.C. Hull’s revision (1971?)
Here’s one link to what’s available online. A Google search can also be useful.
Any edition of this text is suitable for the discussion, as both translations are held in the AusAPT TRPC, including digital editions of recent publications.
The Baynes translation is preferred for several reasons, one being an informative preface where the translator explains his perspective. This does not appear elsewhere and will be provided to discussion participants prior to the first session. The language is also that of the period in which Psychological Types written and so appeals to the historically minded. This is not to say that the Hull translation is inadequate, far from it.
The idea of the discussion is to discover and discuss what Jung actually wrote. It isn’t an exercise in dogma and belief. The discussion can involve comments and works of contemporaries if desired. The Collection has several relevant books and articles from the period up to the Second World War.
Apart from the regular meetings, anticipated to be monthly, members of the group may contact Peter Geyer at any time if there are queries or a desire for discussion on a particular point.
