Last night was perfect conditions for some milky way photography. I went down to Fingal heads causeway and captured this image.
I created this by capturing the foreground just after sunset and then wait for the milky way to appear and then blend the two pano stitches together
I love this time of the year with the cold clear nights.

Her alarm goes off beside her,
A rough start to a rough day,
She pulls on the first clothes she sees,
And continues on her way.
The women on her sidewalk,
Seem to have life all worked out,
They don't feel the sadness she does,
And her self conscious doubt.
She's never been called pretty,
And she feels like she knows why,
As she watches sunlight, all the clouds,
Making patterns in the sky.
She doesn't want attention,
So she glances to the ground,
As though it may hold the answers,
That she's longing to have found.
Her day's like all the others,
Filled with voices in her head,
Telling her she'll be alone,
Until the day she's dead.
She walks back home defeated,
Her bed so big that she feels small,
Hoping that tomorrow,
She doesn't wake up at all.
He wakes to the sunlight,
But a cold and empty bed,
And thoughts of love he'd long to have,
Come back to his head.
The women on the sidewalk,
They don't even catch his eyes,
Until he sees one lost in thought,
Staring off, into the sky.
He's never seen such a beauty,
But he knows she's unaware,
By the way she casts her eyes down,
And pretends she isn't there.
He knows too well the feeling,
Of thinking you're alone,
And he wishes he could tell her,
It's a feeling he has known.
His day's like all the others,
But it doesn't feel the same,
He just can't take the lonely girl,
From staying in his brain.
He goes back home excited,
With a wondrous plan of his,
That tomorrow he will tell her,
How beautiful she really is.

HP is updating its popular Specter x360 notebooks
The latest version of the HP Specter x360 features a new angular design and a 22.5 hour working period
HP is updating its popular, HP is updating, HP is updating its popular Specter x360 notebooks, Specter x360, Specter x360 notebooks, notebooks, hp, Best laptop, laptop, hp laptop, Specter x360 laptops, laptops, tech, tech news,
HP is updating its popular Specter x360 laptops today.
Both the 13 and 15-inch versions have a new "cut gem" design with a more angular look and feel.
The new design also includes a USB-C port at an angle on the edge of the "Specter x360" to improve cable management. As you might expect, HP features the latest Intel Quad-Core 8-inch processors in the 13-inch Spectre x360 and six-core options for the larger 15-inch model.
The new promise of the new 13-inch Spectre x360 is "the longest battery life in the world for a quad-core converter.
" This is quite a requirement, and HP promises up to 22.5 hours of battery life.
We'll need to test it completely, but even if you manage half that, the battery life will be strong. Elsewhere, there is up to 16GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage (NVMe M.2), and even optional LTE support with Intel eSIM design.
While the 13.3-inch display looks like last year's model, the edges in all directions have shrunk slightly.
There is still a fairly large chin and a higher edge, though.
You will be able to select from the FHD or 4K panel, and the choice will depend on whether you estimate the battery life of 22.5 hours with a 1080p display on a 4K screen and a lower battery life. HP has also built an adapter to kill the Web camera along with its latest Specter x360 models.
Like previous models, screens turn to more tablet devices or to media mode to display video content.
The 15-inch model is designed specifically for photographers, developers, painters and others who need better performance for the CPU and GPU.

HP has replaced separate AMD Vega M graphics for Nvidia here, meaning that there are decisions to take if you are interested in the 15-inch model.
Choose from the latest Intel Quad-Core Quad-Core processors with Nvidia GeForce MX 150 processors or Intel Core 8 Core processors with the GTX 1050Ti (Max Q).
The GTX 1050Ti will be more capable of playing or processing video, and HP has added larger dual fans and radiators to help improve performance and cooling. The 15-inch model also has up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage.

Both HP Specter x360 13 and 15 will be available in November. The 13-inch model starts at $ 1,149, and the 15-inch version will be priced from $ 1,389. Both devices will be available from HP online or from Best Buy stores in the United States.

Search Engine Optimization is the organic approach to increasing website traffic. While PPC is a direct process that relies on money, SEO can be accomplished in many unique ways and sometimes does not require any monetary investment. In SEO, a little bit of creative thinking can go a long way. Search engines such as Google filter their search results based on hundreds of factors. This ensures the best possible search results and keeps irrelevant, incorrect and misleading information toward the bottom of the search list. Most search engines have an algorithm that scores websites based on relevance, importance, popularity, trust and authority. Search Engine Optimization is based on key words and phrases as well as relevance and frequency of hits. Marketers today must determine what key words and phrases will result in conversions to their website and use these phrases in creative ways in order to drive their website further up the list and therefore have more exposure on search engines.
Pros: Possibility to achieve a much lower cost per click than pay per click ads, people trust Organic search results, higher clickthrough rate than paid ads.
Cons: Expert experience and training is needed to do it successfully and properly, it is no always a
straight shot to success. Bringing traffic to a site is only the first step, converting traffic into revenue is the real battle.
Our Local SEO 'Cheat Sheet'
To increase your website visibility on Google, you need to adopt better Local search engine optimization (SEO) strategies. Local SEO applies to all businesses that serve their community face-to-face and would like to increase their visibility. They can be service area businesses operating throughout a particular area such as house cleaning or electrician companies or brick-and-mortar businesses such as dentist's office, grocery store or service area business. Local SEO should help your business standout.
How to improve your search rankings on Google Maps
If you have been executing search engine optimization (SEO) strategies for a longer period of time, you probably know that SEO has always been changing. However, local SEO is now more important than SEO. You have to optimize your off-site and on-site strategies so that prospective customers and clients, particularly those searching for your products and services online can easily identify your business. As a SEO marketer, you have to remember that your competitors are always working hard. To improve your local search results on Google, use the following local search tactics.
Use title and meta tag descriptions
Meta and title tags are simply HTML elements which you can personalize to reflect your webpage's content. Google displays the text of your description and title tags in the search results. Therefore, you should think of the text as mini-ads that you should craft carefully.
In 2016, Google widened the primary search results area – it is now 600px. In other words, the typically acceptable length for title tags is around 50 – 60 characters. The characters for description tags can be between 160 and 200 characters. Use the space wisely. Always double check to prevent Google from cutting out titles and descriptions in the search results.
If you are not certain how the Meta and title tags will appear and the number of characters you can use, use an emulator such as WordPress's SEO Plugin and SEOmofo's emulator. The text should be compelling, unique and descriptive. A good idea is to avoid wasting space on the page names that do not add helpful information, including the name of your business and the area of service and use at least one targeted keyword.
Use citations and online directories
According to statistics, at least four consumers out of five start with local searches. What's more, most small and medium level businesses have not claimed any online local business listing, which are huge missed opportunities. It is therefore important you ensure that you have listed your business consistently and correctly on the leading online business directories such as Merchant Circle, Yelp and Citysearch.
When choosing an online local directory, you have to ensure that it is respectable. Remember to check with the local newspaper's website and the Chamber of Commerce to see the local business directories they have listed. You can also use search engines to identify the best online local directory.
Get the name, address, and phone number (NAP) of your business on citation data aggregators such as Neustar, Infogroup, Factual and Acxiom. The NAP should be consistent on all citation sites and directories. Discrepancies such as abbreviations, misspellings, wrong phone number and lack of suite number will lead to havoc if Google cannot identify the correct NAP. Google may show the wrong information or choose not to show it altogether.
Claim Google My Business and Bing Places for Business
Google My Business (GMB) is also an online directory. Every modern business should at least claim its Google My Business and Bing Places for Business pages for better results. The two are free and provide incredible exposure when optimized properly to appear on Google top search results. To claim yours visit google.com/business. Follow all the instructions to complete registration.
Customers rely on online reviews
Around 84% of online shoppers trust reviews more than personal recommendations. Even more, around 7 customers out of 10 will review online reviews if requested. Use the available tools and software options to manage, track and proactively try to get customer reviews. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter will help you get more reviews.
Use structured data mark-up
You can add structured data markup, known as schema.org markup or schema markup to your business's website code. It will provide search engines with additional information about your business, including the type of products you sell, the number of reviews you have collected from your customers and the services you offer.
Statistics show that only 31% of websites use structured data markup and most of them only use basics. Structure data markups. They will help your business stand out and rank higher than that of competitors. The primary reason why Google wants websites to feature structured data markups is because it helps spiders determine what the content is about easily.
In addition, Google has offered a Structured Data Testing Tool to help customers check whether their markups are properly implemented. Use Google's Data Highlighter if you are a beginner in content Markup field.

#ClimateChange is a health problem. Let's take action for a healthier environment! #ParisAgreement. Bloomberg. Watch the world's climate change throughout the 20th century #ActOnClimate. The most important global public health agreement of the century. Josh Karliner, director, global projects, Health Care Without Harm, San Francisco, firstname.lastname@example.com If fully implemented, the recent UN agreement to reduce climate change would reap health benefits The new United Nations climate treaty recently agreed by representatives of 195 countries in Paris is far from perfect, but, by committing nearly every country's government to lowering its greenhouse gas emissions, it takes a major step toward staving off the worst effects of climate change.
This accord could become known as the greatest public health accomplishment of our time, forestalling what is widely acknowledged as the greatest public health threat this century. It has become increasingly clear that climate change is not just about polar bears but also about clean air. It's not just about endangered species but also a growing burden of disease. Health leaders have also begun to see other opportunities in mitigating climate change. Ilona Kickbusch: The new director general of WHO and the politics of global health – The BMJ. Ilona Kickbusch discusses the challenges that Dr Tedros will face and how he will need to apply his political focus and determination The future of the World Health Organization (WHO) will depend on the strategic interplay of two factors.
Firstly, the organization will need to concentrate its work on the health challenges of the 21st century, and secondly, fully apply the unique political capital and experience of the newly elected director general (DG), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. New World Health Organization head must act on climate. * Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.
WHO's job will be made harder by the growing threat and worsening impacts of climate change For nearly seven decades, the World Health Organization (WHO) has served as the international authority on issues in global health, working continuously to combat disease, promote public health, and support countries and communities who have been struck by natural disasters and other health emergencies. Half of All Species Are on the Move—And We're Feeling It. The shrubs probably responded first.
In the 19th century, alder and flowering willows in the Alaskan Arctic stood no taller than a small child—just a little over three feet. But as temperatures warmed with fossil fuel emissions, and growing seasons lengthened, the shrubs multiplied and prospered. Today many stand over six feet. Theconversation. April 22 is Earth Day, one of the world's largest environmental movements against climate change.
It's a time when people around the world come together to defend the environment against the impact of humans. With a climate change-denying Trump administration in the White House and fear-inducing predictions of what our world might look like a few degrees warmer, it's understandable that many people have lost hope about the future of our planet. But the scientific community is on the constant search for solutions, making advances and breakthroughs to fight climate change.
Others including Hollywood celebrities are also speaking up about the crisis and what can be done about it. Here are six reasons to be optimistic. 1. The ice stupas of Ladakh: solving water crisis in the high desert of Himalaya. The idea crystallised in his mind one morning as Sonam Wangchuk was crossing a bridge in the Indian Himalayas.
The engineer from Ladakh, in the Jammu region of north India, was already a famous problem solver: a Bollywood film loosely based on his life had grossed a billion rupees in its first four days. But addressing the water shortages that threatened life in his mountainous home had started to feel like an intractable problem until he saw the chunk of ice: still hanging, improbably, beneath the bridge, long after the shards around it had melted. In that moment, he says, "I understood that it was not the warmth of the sun that was melting the ice on the ground.
It was direct sunlight." What Wangchuck saw reflected in the ice that day was realised four years ago, when he unveiled his first "ice stupa", an artificial glacier that towered surreally over the otherwise arid landscape, and for which in December he received a prestigious £80,000 innovation prize. Forecasting for Catastrophes: How Investment in Weather Services Can Save Lives and Grow Economies. In fact, for the past decade, the World Bank and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) have been working with assorted partners to increase awareness of, and investment in, the hydromet sector.
GFDRR's Hydromet team and the World Bank have partnered with leading national meteorological services across the globe – including agencies from Austria, China, Finland, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States – and work closely with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Log In - New York Times. MMS: Error. Theconversation.
The recent spate of heatwaves through eastern Australia has reminded us we're in an Australian summer.
On top of another record hot year globally, and as heatwaves become more frequent and intense, our cities are making us even hotter. This is the urban heat island, where city temperatures can be significantly warmer than the surrounding rural regions. The question, then, is what we can do to keep our cities cooler. Why are cities hotter? The temperature difference is caused by a range of factors, including dense building materials absorbing more of the sun's energy, fewer trees to provide shade, and less soil to cool by evaporation.
Buildings can also act like the hairs on a husky, reducing wind speeds and blocking thermal radiation up to the night sky. Why does this matter? The most extreme heat events can buckle train lines, cause rolling blackouts and cost billions in lost productivity. Heat stress can cause organ failure or exascerbate heart or breathing problems. So, what can we do? Utopian ideas on climate change will get us precisely nowhere. Urging people to stop consuming stuff in order to slow the rate of climate change is a gambit that is doomed to fail.
It would be helpful if shoppers put off buying a suit or installing a new kitchen, but it's not going to happen. Demonising those who fly to Barcelona for a long weekend is another tactic that will have almost no impact. It's not for nothing that economists base many of their assumptions on populations having unlimited wants. World's largest peatland with vast carbon-storage capacity found in Congo. Scientists have discovered the world's largest tropical peatland in the remote Congo swamps, estimated to store the equivalent of three year's worth of the world's total fossil fuel emissions.
Researchers mapped the Cuvette Centrale peatlands in the central Congo basin and found they cover 145,500 sq km – an area larger than England. Eight charts that show 2016 wasn't as bad as you think. 2016 is likely to be remembered as an annus horribilis for so many reasons that it's tempting to think everything is doomed. But things are not always as they seem. There are silver linings. You just have to look hard to find them. Death in conflict Overall, 2016 looks set to have slightly fewer deaths through armed conflict than 2015, when 167,000 people died. Theconversation. Eating more fruit and vegetables and cutting back on red and processed meat will make you healthier. That's obvious enough. But as chickens and cows themselves eat food and burn off their own energy, meat is a also major driver of climate change.
Going veggie can drastically reduce your carbon footprint. This is all at a personal level. What about when you multiply such changes by 7 billion people, and factor in a growing population? Government to outline climate change risks facing UK in new report. In a landmark report, the government is to outline the specific risks it believes Britain faces due to the impact of climate change.
The report, to be delivered early in the new year, will be the first response made by Theresa May's administration to a major environmental concern and will have considerable implications for future green policy outcomes. The UK climate change risk assessment, the first since 2012, will spell out what the government believes are the major risks facing Britain as global warming continues to affect the planet.
Earlier this year, the Committee on Climate Change, a body of experts set up under the Climate Change Act to advise government, said Britain was poorly prepared for global warming. Likely impacts include deadly heatwaves, flooding, and food and water shortages, it said. The country set to cash in on climate change. Asked if he is fearful about the impact of climate change, Tønnes "Kaka" Berthelsen's response is typical of many Greenlanders. "We are more concerned about the Maldives," he said bluntly.
Greenland has lived with extreme environmental changes for a decade or more. Sea ice is forming two months later and melting one month earlier. Rivers fed by retreating glaciers are at record levels. Beijing smog: pollution red alert declared in China capital and 21 other cities. Beijing authorities have declared a five-day pollution "red alert", shutting schools, ordering thousands of vehicles off the roads and telling residents to stay indoors, after the Chinese capital was enveloped by a shroud of toxic smog that is expected to linger until Wednesday.
The warning – the first since Beijing's inaugural red alert in December last year – was officially implemented at 4.20pm on Friday as a nicotine-tinged haze rolled into the city. "Smog invades Beijing," tweeted Xinhua, China's official news agency, alongside a timelapse video capturing the arrival of what city officials have controversially decided to classify as a "meteorological disaster".
A second Xinhua tweet showed the skies blackening over the course of Friday as toxic air swept into the northern city of 21 million citizens. A red alert is the highest level of a four-tier warning system introduced as part of China's high-profile war on pollution. "But this is only a short-term measure.

text: TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 7, 2011) - Amazon Mining Holding Plc (TSX VENTURE:AMZ - News; "Amazon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Minas Gerais State government ("the State") has signed a memorandum of understanding ("Memorandum") to provide Amazon with support in terms of potential financing for working capital and fixed investment, with funds administered by the development bank of Minas Gerais (BDMG). The stated objective of the Memorandum is to enable the implementation, by Amazon, of an industrial unit and the installation of a distribution centre located in the State of Minas Gerais destined for the manufacturing and commercialization of ThermoPotash, Potassium Chloride and Potassium Sulfate. The Memorandum was signed by a collaboration of key personnel interested in the development of the Cerrado Verde Potash Project, specifically; Minas Gerais State Governor Antonio Augusto Junho Anastasia, Dorothea Fonseca Furquim Werneck, Secretary of the State Department for Economic Development, Leonardo Mauricio Colombini Lima, Secretary of the State Treasury Department, Jose Frederico Alvares, President of the Integrated Development Institute of Minas Gerais ("INDI"), and Ricardo Murari Bandeira, Regulatory Manager of Amazon Mining.The State, through INDI, shall provide support and assistance to Amazon during the implementation and operation phases of the project, particularly with regard to assisting with financing requirements and the expedition of permits and licenses. The terms of the special tax treatment (see Amazon release dated December 22, 2010), including the suspension of ICMS taxes on purchases destined for the construction of the Cerrado Verde Project are also outlined in the Memorandum.The consolidation of the chemical industry sector is of great importance for the development of productive activities that add value and technology to the State, as evidenced by its commitment to Amazon. The Memorandum confirms that Cerrado Verde is within the parameters of the State's primary development goals, namely; increasing employment and reducing regional and social inequalities, and seeking to form strategic partnerships with the private sector aiming at the industrial and commercial development, internalization of industry and environmentally integrated policy. In respect to social development and to the economy of the State of Minas Gerais, the benefits granted to Amazon provide an increase in direct and indirect employment opportunities as well as in revenue.Commenting, Cristiano Veloso, President and CEO said, "The exact terms and means of the State financial involvement at Cerrado Verde will be determined as we move forward with the project. This Memorandum represents a unique acknowledgement by the government of Minas Gerais of the incredible benefit domestic potash production will bring to the agricultural sector in Brazil. We gladly welcome the participation of the State in building our innovative potash operation."Other MattersAmazon will be hosting its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, April 12 at 10:00am EST, at the offices of Fasken Martineau LLP at 333 Bay Street, Suite 2400, Toronto, ON M5H 2T6.

Make an old comfortable bed sofa, change to the mat. Probably, an old sofa bed has an old mattress, and is the easiest way to make the bed more comfortable to start from scratch with a new mattress that provides support and comfort to the bed. .
Ideas for make an old comfortable bed sofa, add another layer of support. If the sofa mattress is too thin or does not yet look solid, a special mattress can be added. They are specially made to add comfort to sofa bed mattresses. And then consult a store like Sears to buy a specific pad that can be added to the sofa bed mattress. Spread a cozy blanket or blanket over the mattress before crawling on. A quilted quilt, sleeping bag or soft, diffuse blanket can help make the bed more fluffy and cozy.

The community has been asked to respond to a public consultation on plans of the Forestry Service for north Antrim.
Chief Forest Officer Malcolm Beatty said: "As our forests develop as places of industry, environment and leisure, we are encouraging everyone to make their feelings known.
"Within 15 miles of Ballymena, there are two of Northern Ireland's leading forest parks.
"On the banks of the River Bann is Portglenone Forest Park. Next year marks the 60th anniversary of Portglenone Forest Park opening to the public. Readers will be familiar with the magnificent bluebells each spring that draw thousands of people each year.
"To the west of Ballymena in the heart of the Glens is Glanariff Forest Park. Glenariff, the "Queen of the Glens", is one of the nine Antrim glens. Glenariff Forest Park covers over 1,000 hectares with planted woodland, lakes, outdoor recreation spaces and conservation areas.
"Glenariff Forest Park caters for many outdoor activities including walking, horse-riding and caravanning. In 2016, a major investment built new caravanning facilities and camping. It has picnic and barbeque areas as well as a tea house."
Forest Service regularly reviews its plans so that it continues to meet the diverse needs of people, wildlife and industry. Within the last plan, Forest Service produced an average of 62,000 tonnes of timber each year from County Antrim forests to supply the timber processing industry.
It also regenerated 1,026 hectares of forest land after clear fell, and planted over 2.2 million trees from 2011 until 2017.
Download the document www.daera-ni.gov.uk/consultations/scoping-new-forestry-plan-antrim-area-forests-and-woodland. Respond to the scoping document [https://consultations. nidirect.gov.uk/daera-forest-service/scoping-a-new-forestry-plan-for-antrim-fpa
The consultation will run from March 30 until May 18.
The consultation paper reviews achievements under the current plan. Under each of 11 scoping topics, it identifies opportunities where forest plans could be improved, and suggests how this might be taken forward.
Views and opinions can be expressed about any of the topic areas presented in the scoping document to advise the Forestry Planning team of specific interests or concerns.
The scoping topic areas cover forestry effects on landscapes, rivers and lakes; the enjoyment of forests by people; new forests, sustainable forests and supplying sustainable wood products; and conservation of forestry lands.
Mr Beatty added: "This consultation covers forests from Somerset to Woodburn, with Ballymena at the heart of this area. Forests are a vital natural resource which belong to us all, and it is particularly important that those in Ballymena and beyond have their say on the development plans."
You are also invited to share any information held by you or your organisation that may be relevant to forestry planning.

For many casual or even serious photographers, shooting street is something that they might toy around with when they are on holidays. Shooting the occasional street photograph of locas at a holiday destination to record a piece of their vacation for posterity. This sort of shooting may be a little easier to do as there is an inherent permission associated with shooting pictures of an un-orchestrated street scene with people you don't know in it. Especially so when you are a 'tourist'. The thought of photographing street scenes in the suburb, village or city that you might call home can be a scarier proposition for you, but it shouldn't be.
With that in mind, here are essentials six essentials to get started shooting street photography if you have never given it a try and are thinking of having a go.
Have a camera and be ready to shoot
You should have access to some sort of camera. Obvious right? But many think that a street photography camera has to be some stealthy specialised bit of kit. There are indeed lots of great cameras that do actually make for fantastic street shooters. However, not having access to said cameras should not be a barrier to entry - it doesn't have to be small or stealthy or have a fixed lens or a zoom lens. You don't need the latest and greatest DSLR or mirrorless camera to shoot street.
Just have something to make images with that you know how to use and are familiar with. That is all that is needed at the beginning. Really. There is nothing more to it than that. Use your phone, it is really a capable and powerful tool for street, and you can control exposure and focus points out of the box. Bonus, when you use your phone you can edit images and post them without even having to go to the trouble of getting your images onto a computer.
Go out at the right time of day - aka find the right light
There is something about shooting in the right kind of light that allows you to see more interesting things out in the world, and actually start shooting with intent. This usually lines up with the times of day when the sun is lower in the sky and there is more dimension, shape and definition to objects, buildings and people, where colours pop and shadows lengthen, and scenes of every day life take on an added dimension of interest.
You might be constrained to only shoot in the middle fo the day, say in your lunch hour at midday, when the sky is right overhead. This means you have to hunt more for good or interestingly light, shadows, reflections etc. The shots are there, just keep looking.
Go where there are people, but not too many people
In street photography as a general rule people are the main subject of your photos. Therefore of course, you'll want to go somewhere where there are people. I find however, going somewhere where there are just too many people makes it difficult to make an interesting photo.
It is easier at the beginning to isolate subjects and find interesting elements that come together to make a story in the frame, and photographers are used to this idea of simplifying to make a better image. So use that principle and find somewhere busy, but not too busy. Of course you might circle back and start to find more interesting and dynamic compositions using layering of subjects and elements, and thats where a busy place might work. For starters though, make it easier and less stressful by keeping composition simpler.
Decide on a theme
It might be useful for you to gain more confidence in shooting out in the street by selecting a theme and using that to go out and look for photos. A theme gives you a purpose, lets you build up a story in your head about what you are doing, so it makes you relax about what others may think of you shooting. It also lets you build up a body of work that has a connecting theme, and gives you experience using those elements. It also provides a basis for building upon later.
Themes could be colours, shapes, rules of photography, objects, subjects, really anything at all that you could possibly think of. Look through your current catalog of images and see if there is any pattern, or better yet one image that you really like and then go out into the street and try and find more of the same in different scenes.
Make people elements of your frame but not necessarily the main subject
If you find it scary or confronting to go out and take photos of people on the street, take a different tack and start thinking about how to make pictures with people in the frame but not necessarily the main subject. You can do this with buildings, interesting shopfronts, cars, shadows etc etc. The person in the image is just another compositional element but not necessarily the main actor in the game. Shoot with intent and take time to fit all of the elements, including people, into the story you are trying to tell.
Just keep shooting
Street photography isn't easy. The best thing to do is to practice, practice, practice. Push through any creative blocks and just get used to seeing and shooting. Digital photography is a forgiving medium and a boon for the beginner, because it lets you try things, fail, learn and try again.
I hope these quick tips on easing into street photography have helped you. If they have, or if you have any other suggestions that you have found useful, drop me a line in the comments below.

Fun with Frogs
Novel Study: We read some more of our novel, Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer. Theo is faced with a big ethical dilemma: protect his friend's cousin by not revealing that the cousin is an important witness in the trail or tell the judge about the witness and risk that his friend's cousin will be deported. Tough choice! What will Theo do? We'll find out next time!
Focus Study: We created a model of the digestive system using clay. Each group had to share their model and explain how food moves through the digestive system, as well as the function of each organ in the system. The kids are definitely learning about the frog's systems! They did pretty well with this today!
Research: We worked with Mrs. Kindschy to find out about web-based computer applications that might be useful in our Frog Research Projects. Check out the list of project ideas on our Frog Glog, via the Target Glog!
Frog Project: We thoroughly discussed the rubric and project expectations, including the April 22nd due date. Please take a look at your child's rubric and discuss it with him or her.
Logical Thinking: We squeezed in some logical thinking by working on, what else, a frog logic puzzle! Not everyone finished it because of Picture Day, but they can catch up next time.
HW: Finish note taking/research, get Frog Project Rubric signed, choose project type and write it on the back of the rubric.
Have a wonderful Sp

Speer Family
1997 Inductees
George Thomas "Dad" Speer: March 10, 1891 - Sept. 7, 1966
Lena "Mom" Speer: 1890 - 1967
Brock Speer: December 28, 1920 - March 29, 1999
Rosa Nell Speer: September 22, 1922 - May 16, 2017
Mary Tom Speer: June 13, 1925 - September 16, 2014
Ben Speer: June 26, 1930 - April 7, 2017
The Double Springs native, Speer Family, began their rich heritage in 1921 when G.T. "Dad" Speer formed the first Speer Quartet. They were different from the beginning, breaking the barrier in Gospel Music by adding female voices in a field totally dominated by all male quartets. As Dad and Mom Speer's children were born, they were taught the rudiments of music as soon as they could talk. Soon they began joining their parents as permanent members of the group, making it truly The Singing Speer Family. That singing tradition has now carried over to a third generation of Speer family members.
The group has recorded over 70 albums in their career. Five of those have led to Grammy Award nominations. They have received eight Dove Awards for Best Mixed Group of the Year, Doves twice for Best Album and four consecutive years for Best Female vocalist. Music critics have praised their sound, others have imitated their sound. There is not a Gospel group performing today who has not been influenced by the music of The Speer Family. 1996 marked the 75th Anniversary of this first family of Gospel Music. The Speer Family is the recipient of the 1997 Alabama Music Hall of Fame Life Work Award for Performing Achievement.

Marc Drobnick is a talented and accomplished bodyworker and massage therapist. He is one of only fifty Advanced KMI Practitioners in the world.
His practice is centered in Denver, New York, and Los Angeles where he works on a diverse clientele of all ages and professions, with a specialty in high-level athletes.
Marc's clients include Olympic athletes, National Champion skiers, Major League Baseball players, yoga instructors, and CrossFit Games competitors. He also works on actors and dancers in Broadway productions.
Marc has served on the faculty at the Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado and has Advanced Certification in Structural Integration from KMI. Dedicated to his ongoing professional and personal development, Marc continues to take advanced coursework and trainings.
In his free time, he likes to mountain bike, teach students, and walk with Willie Nelson.
Willie Nelson is the trusted office assistant and easily the most adorable member of our team.
My motivation for getting into this work was simple—I had it done and I loved how I felt. I was running a lot at the time and this was the first treatment that gave me relief. But once I started studying massage therapy, I realized that I wanted to learn more about structural integration (SI). There was something attractive about the tangibility and the science behind SI. It was cerebral and I liked being able to wrap my brain around it.
As I dove into SI, I realized that it was about so much more than just making people feel better. It was about communication. Ninety percent of the way we communicate is nonverbal. When you see someone walking down the street and you recognize them by that walk, that is their fascia communicating. It's the sum of all their experiences walking toward you.
And a lot of these people have only one option. After years of chronic pain or unresolved injuries, our bodies hold patterns. We limit ourselves and what our bodies can do. I want people to keep all their experiences, good and bad, but I want them to carry them with grace. I want each person to walk out of my office with more freedom: to change, to move, and to grow.
Because every person's body is different, I consider my education never-ending. Each client informs the next and each client teaches me something new about this work. This work has taught me to approach everyone without assumption or judgment—it's made me much more accepting and tolerant. I hope each client has that same transformation after going through this process.

You too could save money on your overseas purchase!
For British couple the Mercers, holidays at their second home abroad will be even more enjoyable than first anticipated thanks to the considerable savings they made when they bought their property earlier this year.
When David and Marcia Mercer, from Widnes in Cheshire, needed to send funds to Barbados to pay for their apartment on the island's West Coast, they opted to make the transfer through an FSA-authorised firm that specialises in currency exchange, rather than do the obvious and ask their bank to do it.
Their decision saved them £'000s thanks to the currency specialist they used, Smart Currency Exchange, consistently offering them exchange rates typically 2-4 per cent better than any high street bank and charging minimial – or no – fees. To date the Mercers have used Smart to send dollars worth £208,000 to purchase their dream pad in Barbados.
"Bank charges for currency transfers are ludicrous," said Marcia, who is a retired NHS Director of Nursing. "Smart's cost effective service has saved us money and allowed our funds to go a little further than expected. On fees alone we saved money. For example, to transfer £1,500 to Barbados would have cost me approximately £19 with a bank. But I've transferred a total of £208,000 with Smart and incurred only £10 in fees and that was only because one transaction was under £3,000 – Smart charge no fees for transfers above that."
The Mercers learnt about the service offered by Smart Currency Exchange after reading about the firm in the Caribbean Buying Guide, a free publication that offers impartial advice to property-buyers. If they were unsure about using this new type of financial service, Smart soon put them at ease.
"There was no salesman pressure and they were helpful, professional, informative and patient," continued Marcia. "Being on first-name terms has been very helpful and
it allows for an effective relationship between us and our Smart account manager. And I've never been made to feel silly when asking the simplest of questions."
David and Marcia own one of nine luxury three-bedroom apartments on a gated condominium in St Peter. They have private parking, a large roof terrace with breathtaking views, access to a communal pool and are just a seven-minute walk from the beach. The famous Westmoreland Golf Club is only a short drive away
"We intend to rent out our apartment when we're not using it," concludes Marcia. "But within 18 months to two years, we'd love to move out to Barbados for good. The people are so friendly, the lifestyle so laid-back, the beaches so beautiful and it's sunny all year round – what more could you want when you're retired!"

Perverse Car Breakdown! Poked in intead of hooked up
Running time: 7:27 Minutes
I was on my way back home when suddenly my car breaks down and won't start anymore. I tried calling a friend but with no success. Luckily a nice guy came over and helped me. As a thank I wanted to invite him to a dinner but he had other things in mind. He was one of these men that only think with their dick that got a bone only from looking at my Leggings-Ass. So I drove with him at a near place. There he leant back on the bonnet and I blew his dick greedily. Then I bend over the bonnet, pulled my Leggings down and held out my cunt for him. Greedily he shoved his thick dick deeply inside my from behind and banged me unrestrained over the bonnet. After I came hefty to climax I sucked his cock again until he couldn't hold it back. Mi greedy Cum-In-Face made him so horny to finally cum. He jacked and suddenly he covered my whole face with his cum load. Luck in bad luck was this car breakdown because I git jizz and the car is also running.

Over the last few years, YouTube has been flooded with videos made with the intention of triggering a euphoric, tingling sensation often felt in the head -- a sensation called the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). Viewers are "triggered" (experience ASMR) by the different stimuli presented in the videos. These stimuli are most often quiet noises, whispering, or simply personal attention.
As ASMR videos grew in popularity on YouTube, the creators of these videos, affectionately known as ASMRtists, started getting feedback, and not just about their ability to trigger "tingles."
To the surprise of ASMRtists, their videos had not only created a tingly sensation. They had also created a method of dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, and insomnia for thousands upon thousands of viewers.
There has been no scientific research on ASMR -- just testimony from those who experience it (and not everyone can experience ASMR). So what happened here? How is ASMR, previously considered a passing Internet fad, changing lives every day?
BRAINGASM will explore the experiences of both ASMRtists and their viewers as they help define what "ASMR" is really all about.
Keep updated on our progress through our Facebook and Twitter pages, or our website.
New to Kickstarter? Kickstarter is a way to fund creative projects. You can support a project you like by pledging money to help it succeed (and receive special perks as a thanks for your contribution). This is an all-or-nothing funding platform, so, if we don't reach our $15,000 goal, the production receives nothing and you keep your donation. Whether or not you choose to donate, please share our project on Facebook and Twitter so that we can spread the word about this exciting story. You will have our eternal gratitude!
Were you strangely calmed by painter Bob Ross? Do you unexpectedly get tingles while getting a haircut? Do you fall into a euphoric trance when your teacher slowly and methodically writes on the blackboard?
Maybe you've experienced ASMR. It's an experience many of us have, but don't think to talk about.
Enter the Internet.
In 2007, a thread entitled "Weird Sensation Feels Good" began on a Steady Health forum. This unnamed feeling was described as everything from "a silvery sparkle through the head" to an "attention induced head orgasm (AIHO)." Essentially, ASMR is a pleasurable physical sensation best described as "tingly" that is the result of various stimuli (mainly auditory, cognitive, and visual).
In 2010, this tingling sensation was christened "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response" (ASMR) by Jennifer Allen, the founder of the ASMR Research and Support organization. Since Ms. Allen coined the term, ASMR has been the name most commonly embraced by the online community.
There are so many people out there who struggle daily with stress, anxiety, insomnia and depression. Shouldn't every possible outlet for relief be explored? We think so.
Our main objective with BRAINGASM as a project is to raise awareness of ASMR, providing examples of its successes, and dissuading the misconceptions people may have about it.
It's been said many times: "This is weird." There are people out there that cannot experience ASMR, and when they listen to videos of strangers whispering, some of them think what they're seeing is creepy, sexual, or both. Even our title has sparked controversy online. When our teaser trailer went live, a Reddit thread quickly became antagonistic as individuals were angered by our play on the word "orgasm." While we think nothing of describing a delicious taste as a "foodgasm" or a killer song as sparking an "eargasm," presenting the possibility that a calming sensation in our head is felt as a "braingasm" somehow suggests taboo.
It's hard to articulate a feeling to someone who doesn't feel it. Have you ever tried to explain a joke to someone who doesn't get it?
We want to clarify and express what it means to be a part of the ASMR community. We want to help others find a means of relief from their insomnia or stress without feeling uncomfortable about watching videos of strangers whispering.
Just getting the project this far has had a trickle-down effect on the ASMRtists involved. Some have been able to better communicate with their family and friends just what it is they do with their microphones and cameras -- how it helps them, and how it helps others. Playing a small part in that has made us extremely proud. It's a great feeling, and like any great feeling, we're hoping to get more of it.
With your help, we can pull back the curtains and get a little more daylight into the room.
My relationship with sleep has been strained since childhood, and my struggle with insomnia has become one one of the larger facets of my adult life. During one of my many sleepless nights, I roamed YouTube for videos of relaxing sounds to lull me to sleep. Almost immediately, I came across the ASMR community. At first the videos seemed strange, but after reading that ASMR has helped people with sleeping disorders, I was intrigued.
A few hundred ASMR videos later, I've learned that ASMR doesn't just benefit people with insomnia. Many individuals with depression and anxiety are also helped -- even veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. I was surprised. These successes are a result of an internet phenomenon!
Why is the ASMR community so successful without any actual scientific grounding? What if this internet phenomenon was properly researched? Could there be an actual medical treatment that could utilize "the unnamed feeling" to help people like me find sleep?
Perhaps by raising the awareness of ASMR, BRAINGASM can encourage medical research and participation in the ASMR community. Maybe then others can overcome insomnia, depression, anxiety and other ailments through ASMR treatment.
- BRAINGASM has been in various stages of development and production since December 2012. Up until now, the documentary has been completely self-funded.
- We have filmed in the United States, Canada, Belgium, and England over the past year.
- Last summer, we participated in a collaboration of ASMRtists at the YouTube Space in London, England. Content creators travelled from all over the UK to participate.
- Many ASMRtists have graciously contributed their time, support and, of course, their videos to BRAINGASM. We've completed interviews with quite a few people you'll recognize!
- Countless hours have been spent backing up and organizing the footage we've captured so far.
- We're preparing to interview scientific specialists to hear their thoughts on this phenomenon.
$15,000 - PRODUCTION COMPLETION. Through self-funding we've been able to film about 40% of the story. It will cost an additional $15,000 for travel expenses, equipment rentals, reward fulfillment, and the massive amount of hard drives needed to back up all our footage.
$40,000 (Stretch Goal) - POST-PRODUCTION. A traditional documentary funded by broadcasters would often have this amount budgeted for the editing alone. Luckily, we have the experience and equipment to do the editing ourselves. So, any funds raised above our minimum goal will go towards a professional sound mix, colour correction, music, graphics, and final mastering -- everything needed to make this film look and sound as great as we hope it will!
We greatly appreciate your support of BRAINGASM, and we'd like to give you something in return as a way to say thank you.
Our rewards include: a digital download of the completed film, shout-outs, on-screen credit, as well as a BRAINGASM t-shirt designed by Corey Pierce. You can even attend our world premiere, or view a rough cut of the film and share your thoughts with the filmmaker! We are also very excited to be able to offer magnets, tote bags, and notebooks featuring a colourful ASMR graphic designed just for this campaign by artist Alex Kittle.
Though we're already wearing our BRAINGASM t-shirts with pride, the reward we're most excited about is a series of ASMR videos produced exclusively for this campaign by members of the ASMR community!
For $15, you can enjoy exclusive access to special videos by the following ASMRtists:
ASMR Angel, Asmr inmylife, AsmrMachine, ASMRose (Mermaid), Brad Robbo, Brittany ASMR, DonnaASMR, Heather Feather, The Hushed Life ASMR, KarenSafeWhisperyPlace, Mariedian ASMR, MasterCoul ASMR, Olivia's Kissper ASMR, The River Whisper, Scottish Whisper, theASMRnerd, VisualSounds1, TheWaterwhispers, WhispersRedASMR, WhispersparklesASMR, WhispersUnicorn
Risks and challenges
Documentary filmmaking is risky. You don't know who you'll meet, what they'll say, or what they'll do until it actually happens. Unlike a scripted film, a documentary unfolds and takes shape in the edit suite. Editing -- especially for documentaries -- is a process that takes quite a lot of time. Thankfully, we do have an experienced editor for BRAINGASM, but editing the film will still take a while. Our post-production schedule may run even longer due to our skeleton budget, as the post-production team largely consists of volunteers with full-time jobs. With these factors to consider, we cannot guarantee a concrete release date, but we will keep our backers updated as the film progresses.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

The Introduction
On January the 14th this year I turned a year older when I look at my two 'special' numbers my mind can't relate, it's just two little numbers, not me or is it. There is something beautiful that happens as we age, it's as though you are gifted with new wisdom and understanding and I can't imagine being without it now, the downside of this amazing new gift, for every pearl of wisdom you receive you are also gifted with a grey hair, a wrinkle or some unexpected new addition that comes with aging.
My idea, to grow old Gracefully but I have set myself a challenge, from now on I am going to give my body, mind, and soul whatever it needs to do this with dignity.
In this series, I hope to inspire you to live your best life now as you add another year of wisdom to your 'special' number. I will be researching, interviewing professionals and sharing my views on age-appropriate fashion, trends, and style, along with beauty products, supplements, and exercises and last but not least new business and technology resources to help run your business with ease and keep you up to date with this ever changing world for our sanity an our kids safety.
I have an amazing lineup coming your way already so keep an eye out on my Facebook and Instagram page for the series debut.

Margaret Emerson
Long before Billie Jean King made the world aware of women's role in athletics, Margaret Emerson of Bromo-Seltzer fame was wielding a powerful croquet mallet in a man's world. Their lovely lawn in Saratoga, a tricky course at her house in the Adirondacks, and especially her magnificent large courses on the North Shore of Long Island, first at Sands Point, later Glen Cove — nine wickets, two stakes and no boundaries — with scenes of tremendous battles of strategy and tactics in the game. The historic Gerald Brooks Memorial Challenge Trophy given by Mrs. Emerson was the climax of the croquet season from the late 30's to the 50's, won by such names as Averell Harriman, Lillian Phipps, and Herbert Bayard Swope, Jr. who eventually retired it. It was at Sands Point that permanent lights for night play were introduced making croquet possible 24 hours a day. Margaret was an excellent croqueteer but her competitive instincts sometimes were tempered by being overly concerned for her opponents. She used a side-stroke, along side her leg rather than between them (also favored by the late, great George Sanders, as well as Dick Dougherty and Mrs. Emerson's son, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt.)
Margaret Emerson was inducted into the United States Croquet Hall of Fame in 1979.

They're teaching Myth in Science class:
the earth made out of nothing in six days;
no manufacturing base.
Praise the Lord and Guzzle the gas.
Follow not the ways
of the unbeliever.
Rise up ye children of God. Evangelise.
Money is the root of all. Capitalise
on dreams. IVF your selfish little genes
and pray, pray for all
the embryos autoclaved away. Sell on the debt,
sell on. Dodge the divine receiver, believer.
Go forth in God's chosen HumVes. Multiply.
Ask not the starving about the price of rice.
Close your eyes.
Dream on.
Wearing priestly robes, Myth thus disguised
ever stands in the right and watches
others die.

Fresh Start.
There are only a few times in life when you really truly receive a fresh start. When you're born, when you first move out of your parents' home, and when you hit that stage in adulthood where you've run out of f*cks to give.
Life has a way of antagonizing you and testing your patience. Sometimes it will seem like you're only preparing for the next worst thing instead of enjoying the many great things that life has to offer. You will feel stuck and frustrated. Maybe even resentful.
But eventually you'll hit a wall and realize that you've ran out of cares for things that are not your own concern. Don't waste your time charging that wall or trying to bring it down. Climb it and leave all the shit behind you.
