TECH Outreach has embarked on a new project titled, Bridging Children.
This project aims to connect children from developed countries with those in underdeveloped economies.
The seed for this Project was planted during TECH Outreach's working visit to Nepal in May 2014.
Bridging Children has two objectives:
1. Equip schools with basic educational needs such as books, stationery, desks and chairs, blackboards, sports items and uniforms
2. To facilitate knowledge transfer by the children from the developed countries on basic "must-have" knowledge such as English Language, Mathematics, Science, Art, Drawing, Painting, Dancing, Games and the like
TECH works with a partner in Nepal to implement this project. This partner has identified 7 schools in Kathmandu. These are listed below together with their respective needs:
- Hariyali Primary School, Bhiman Korung Khola-85 Students, Bhiman, Sindhuli. 85 students with one set of uniforms, no school shoes, no books, no stationery, no desks and chairs (only benches), no teachers.
- Shree Jana Jagriti Higher Secondary School, Bhiman, Sindhuli- 800+ students (Class Nursery to 12) the school needs stationery and uniform support for needy children and white board, computer lab too.
- Triveni Primary School, Dobhan Tar, Bhiman -180 Students, furniture (bench/Desk), cupboard and stationery and uniform for the needy children.
- NabaJyoti High School, Gichihani, Hatpate students 600+, it is high school but not compound wall so it is not safety for children during study time and after school too. There is not any computer so school needs computer Lab to teach children and there is not library too, stationery and uniform for the needy children is highly welcomed.
- Pashupati Primary School, Ghatgaun, Hatpate students 55+ they need desk/bench for children. Now 50 % of children are studying sitting in open ground. They do not have the board, cupboard, chair and table for the office too stationery and uniform for the needy children is highly welcomed. Most of the children in this village are from very low level, untouchable community as well as Majhi and Danuwary community where is not enough land growing the food items.
- Dhruba Tara Primary School Banka, Hatpate students 100+ Lack of furniture, the school is nears a small river it can cut the school in the raining season which is very risky there so wall or covered in the school is the problems. Stationery and uniform for the needy children is highly welcomed.
- Janakalyan Higher Secondary school, Baudha Kathmandu, Students 1300+ school is running from Nursery to 12 classes. Here is not sufficient building to teach the children. Science Lab also needed in the school. Stationery and uniform for the needy children is highly welcomed. The above information we had collected contact with the 7 different schools and talking with the head and other teachers.
The success of this Project is dependent on one school in a developed country adopting one of the seven above for a period of 1 to 4 years. Thereafter another school from a developed economy may replace the original sponsoring institution.
This will ensure that there is continuity in the enhancement of the educational development and social exposure of the children in disadvantaged. communities.
This will also give our children an opportunity to do their bit for society and play their role of social responsiveness as responsible citizens of the country.
Do you think you could get your school to adopt one of these schools in Nepal?

Perhaps it is time for all of us to seriously consider the merits of blowing on our fingers before serving, of bouncing the ball on the turf—one, two, three, four times—of staring absently at the ground and with hostility at opponents. Maybe we should all hold the racket in our left hands, wear Prince Valiant haircuts, scream at linesmen and clown a bit when the mood strikes you. Do whatever Jimmy Connors does. Because whatever he does works, as it did again last week at Forest Hills.
Here was Connors, facing 39-year-old Ken Rosewall for the second time in two months—finals, grass, major championship—a sassy 22-year-old rebel vs. a tennis legend, a man who had won at Forest Hills in 1956 when Connors was four. In their first meeting, at Wimbledon in early July, Connors won in straight sets, allowing Rosewall only six games. Impressive? You bet. But Rosewall had just beaten John Newcombe and Stan Smith back to back. He was tired. Not a fair test.
Now they were at it again, and for those who doubted his ability Jimmy Connors proved he is quite a tennis player. He crushed Ken Rosewall 6-1, 6-0, 6-1, the most lopsided final in the history of Forest Hills and surely Rosewall's worst defeat since he learned to hit a backhand.
For Connors the U.S. Open capped a tremendous year in which he won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and all but three of his other matches. He might have won the Grand Slam, but he was not allowed to play in the French Open because he was "tainted" by team tennis.
The Connors-Rosewall match could have been high drama. Connors has a devastating serve, but throughout the rain-prolonged tournament Rosewall had proved that he was still capable of taking anything hit at him and whipping it cross-court or down the line, bringing up chalk as often as not.
But not against Connors. The first set was over in a flash, Connors making Rosewall look like a middle-aged club player. It would have been delightful if the old pro had come back to make a match of it, as he has so often. There was no way. Connors wiped him out in one hour and eight minutes. Connors' return of serve was so devastating that Rosewall won only 19 points on his serve in the whole match.
"The best tennis I've ever played in my life, all 22 years of it," exulted Connors. "I didn't miss a ball."
Didn't he at any time have pity on the old man across the net?
"I've seen people pity Ken Rosewall and then see him win 6-3 in the fifth," answered the now-undisputed No. 1 player in the world.
The Billie Jean King-Evonne Goolagong women's finals was far more entertaining. Goolagong, a beautiful player on grass, has seldom beaten King—the notable exception being 1971 when she won Wimbledon as a 19-year-old. On Monday Goolagong took the first set 6-3, dropped the second by the same score and looked in great shape when she went ahead 3-0 in the third, but although she broke King's serve again she could not hold her own serve (lack of a strong service in many ways makes women's tennis more interesting than men's, especially on grass). King broke to go ahead 6-5 and held her own serve for the match. Just as Connors had done, she threw her racket high in the air.
At that moment in the glass-enclosed press box, Connors' manager, Bill Riordan, was talking about a challenge match in Madison Square Garden, between Jimmy and a man he has never played, another old Aussie named Rod Laver. And in the tradition of the late golfer Tony Lema bottles of champagne were popped open for the press, courtesy of the new champ.
For the woman who will become Mrs. Connors in November, it was not such an effervescent occasion. Chris Evert, with her lovely feminine way of moving, her impeccable grooming and her impeccable ground strokes, was seeded first, just like Jimmy, and it seemed possible that Forest Hills would have a "lovebird double" to match their twin victories at Wimbledon. Evert had won 56 matches in a row (her last loss was to King indoors in March) and was the leading female money winner in the world ($157,500) this year. True, she had never beaten Goolagong or King on grass, but she had won Wimbledon, indicating that perhaps she had learned to live with it. She had not even lost a set since Wimbledon, although that statistic lost a little gloss when one realized that most of the best women players were either pregnant (Margaret Court) or off playing team tennis (King, Goolagong, Nancy Gunter, etc.)
Evert swept easily through her first three Forest Hills rounds, losing only eight games and no sets, until she ran into Australia's Lesley Hunt. It was Hunt who gave Chris her toughest match at Wimbledon and now she was at it again. In the first set she forced Chris into a tie breaker and took a formidable 4-1 lead—one point from victory. But Evert won four straight points to take the first set and crushed Hunt in the second 6-3. There were some boos and heckling from the grandstand, but Evert, no longer the darling "Chrissie" of three years ago, merely pursed her lips and hung in.
"I heard a couple of comments like 'Evert, you're a bad sport,' " she said (omitting such nastier gibes as "Evert, you stink"). "I'm not used to that. Jimmy might be, but I'm not."
Then came a more serious problem. Evert would have to beat Goolagong and probably King on grass—such as it was—to prove herself the absolute No. 1 woman player in the world. She had played Goolagong only once in 1974, losing on grass in Australia in January, dropping the third set 6-0.
Goolagong had come through the middle of the draw with ease, and in the first set against Evert, she made her fifth seeding look ridiculous, allowing Chris only nine points and winning 6-0. Goolagong was leading 4-3 in the second—and on a service break—when rain forced play to be suspended. Fans remembered that in Evert's tough match with Hunt at Wimbledon a downpour had interrupted play and Evert had come back strong to win the next day. This time it was two days later (soggy grounds caused cancellation of all matches Saturday), and the battle did not end until 47 hours and 18 minutes after it started.
Evert continued to have difficulty holding serve, but so did Goolagong and the second set was forced into a tie breaker, which Evert won 5-3 to take the set 7-6. Could Evert come back to win the match? Not quite. She staved off four match points but finally fell 6-0, 6-7, 6-3. She had held service only three times in the entire match.
There was some consolation for Evert, of course—$10,800 in prize money, plus a "bouncing check," a negotiable check for $35,000 written on a tennis ball for "excellence of performance in the four major tennis competitions, Australian, French, All-England and U.S. Open." And she was relieved to have her winning streak end, as perhaps Joe DiMaggio was in 1941 when his consecutive-game hitting streak ended at the same number, 56.
Billie Jean King, fresh from a summer of coaching and playing for the Philadelphia Freedoms of World Team Tennis, seemed pleased to be out in the sunshine getting a red nose again, or even in the rain getting her hair wet. She seemed in no way annoyed at being seeded second behind Evert. Mother Freedom's major scare en route to the final was a miserable first set in the semis against Julie Heldman who, aided by the heat and the effects of some medication King was taking, had beaten her in last year's Open. After losing the first set to Heldman, King woke up and won rather easily 2-6, 6-3, 6-1.
As the most vociferous spokesperson for team tennis (and almost any other cause you can name), King was tickled that five of the eight semifinalists (herself, Goolagong, Connors, Rosewall and Newcombe) came out of WTT, puncturing the notion that team tennis is woefully poor preparation for a major tournament. Not only that, all four of the finalists were from WTT.
Among the men, a number of new faces—and backstrokes and serves—attracted attention. Argentina's Guillermo Vilas justified his ninth seeding by reaching the fourth round before losing in straight sets to Arthur Ashe. Hungary's Balazs Taroczy, owner of a fine flat-top-spin backhand and forceful serve, forced Jan Kodes to five sets in the third round. Victor Amaya lost in the first round to Sweden's teen-age whiz, Bjorn Borg (who subsequently was beaten by India's Vijay Amritraj), but got lots of notice, perhaps because not many 6'7" part-Arapaho Indians win the Big Ten championship and play at Forest Hills. But the young man who drew the most attention was Roscoe Tanner, 22, from Lookout Mountain, Tenn., and later, Big Canoe, Ga.
Now, a fellow named Roscoe from places like Lookout Mountain and Big Canoe has to play tennis in his bare feet, right? Of course not. Lookout Mountain happens to be a prosperous suburb of Chattanooga, Big Canoe is a fashionable resort Tanner used to represent, and Tanner himself is a Stanford graduate, the son of a lawyer. He was a fine college player, traveled the World Championship Tennis circuit last year, partnered Ashe in doubles and reached the fourth round at Wimbledon before losing a four-setter to Rosewall.
Tanner is a lefthander with an awesome serve. He throws the ball up so low and swings his racket so quickly that it seems he is hitting it right out of his hand. "Hitting bombs" is the way Connors describes it, although Tanner himself says Colin Dibley of Australia has a much harder serve. Tanner is six feet tall, and he thinks his modest height is an advantage because his cannonball zooms at the receiver from a lower angle and the poor victim has less time to judge its velocity, direction, etc. That serve and his rapidly improving volleys and ground strokes took Tanner to some astonishing comebacks at Forest Hills.
In the second round he was down two sets to England's Roger Taylor and came back to win. He was down two sets to the Rumanian clown Ilie Nastase and came back to win. It took him five sets to beat Ismail El Shafei of Egypt, who had been the upset star of Wimbledon. The quarters should have been the end of him, for there he met another big server, Stan Smith, America's co-No. 1. Instead, Tanner won in four sets over the No. 3 seed, whom he had never beaten.
Tanner's end came in the semis against Connors, with whom he "grew up in the juniors." His ground strokes and volleys were not as sharp as they were against Smith (no doubt Connors' bulletlike shots had something to do with it) and his serves were not the "bombs" Connors had seen explode all week. The result was a 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 Connors win.
Connors had fought his way through a fairly tough draw himself. The weekend before the Open started he had to forfeit the final of the warmup tournament at South Orange because he was ill with food poisoning. Tournament Director Bill Talbert delayed his opening-round match a day, "not because he's the No. 1 seeded player but because it would be the human thing to do for any player who became ill and because it doesn't matter too much so early in the tournament." Humpf, snorted the Connors critics, would Talbert have done that for Teimuraz Kakulia or Belus Prajoux or jolly Jean Caujolle?
Connors' first match was against Jeff Borowiak, who played ahead of him on the UCLA varsity. Jimmy won the first two sets handily, but was tiring in the third and trailing 5-3 when rain interrupted play. Connors had tea with lemon during the unscheduled break and came back to win 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. After that Kodes and Alex Metreveli forced him to four sets, but he never seemed to be in danger. He just kept blowing on his left hand and blowing incredibly powerful ground strokes right through the gut of his opponents' rackets.
"The weather today was Wimbledon weather," Connors said after dispatching Borowiak. "I don't mind it. I'm loose now. I just enjoy it out there. I play the game the way it should be played."
It seemed likely that Australia's John Newcombe would be Connors' opponent in the final. Playing in a pink shirt—his lucky color—he worked his way to the semis, getting a tough match from his longtime doubles partner, Tony Roche, and a bit of a scare in the quarters from Ashe on a grandstand court in such sorry shape that Newcombe suggested Raul Ramirez of Mexico had just fought a bull on it. Newk, as even some umpires call him, beat Ashe in five sets. After that it did not look like anything or anybody would stop him from being the first man since Neale Fraser (1959-60) to win Forest Hills twice in a row.
"John was very disappointed at Wimbledon," said his friend Roche. "You could tell by the way he acted, the way he looked. I think he's probably a little hungrier than most. He'll be up."
Newcombe's opponent in the semifinals was the same fellow Sydneyite who knocked him out at Wimbledon, Rosewall. "I wish he'd get old," said Newcombe before the match, but it seems that the great backstroke artist is going to be playing and winning for at least another decade. And surely it did not hurt Rosewall that he had two days rest after beating Amritraj in four sets Thursday.
Newcombe started off serving nicely, slipped a bit at the end of the first set and got tangled in a tie breaker, which he won 5-3. But from there on it was downhill, as Rosewall took three straight sets, including another tie breaker. The fans loved it, giving Rosewall a standing ovation when he won his tie breaker.
After the victory over Newcombe, Rosewall was asked what it felt like to be an institution, to never grow old. He smiled politely, although he has heard all the jokes about his age and his wealth before.
"I wonder how much longer it's going to last," he said. "I'm playing the type of tennis that will win a lot of matches. I'm still putting my game on the line, just like everybody else."
And on Monday he put it on the line against Jimmy Connors. The ageless wonder against the brash youth.
Rosewall served notice he could still beat most players; Connors was the exception.
For King, it was her sixth final in 10 years.
It turned out Evert is still allergic to grass.
Goolagong cancelled the Jimmy-Chrissie show.

QaSaC ("Queues and Stacks and Combinators", the elements from which the language is built) is a cross between a stack-based ConcatenativeLanguage like Forth and Joy, and a graphical dataflow language like PureData.
A program consists of a number of "nodes" which run asynchronously and are wired together through queues.
Each node has its own stack, and executes a short, single-line sub-program of the order of magnitude of a Forth "word" (a couple of dozen symbols).
A node's sub-program is split into two phases : an initialization phase, and an looping phase. The initialization phase executes once when the node starts running, and from then on the node cycles through the series of instructions in its looping phase. These instructions pull data from its input queues, manipulating it with the help of its local stack, and sending it on through its output queues. Each node runs asynchronously, and blocks while waiting for new input.
The whole program ends when the final output channel (normally sent to standard out) has pulled a specified number of outputs.
Like Joy, QaSaC can work with blocks of code (ie. sub-lists of instructions which are "quoted" in the Lisp sense). Blocks can be passed as data from one node to another, and then unquoted and executed elsewhere. Blocks are normally unquoted by "combinators", that is, higher order operators that work with blocks of code that have previously been placed on the stack. These are more or less the equivalent of Lisp "forms". The most common is COND (a conditional combinator, the equivalent of Joy's "IF" though named for Lisp's "cond"), and LINREC (a linear recursion combinator borrowed from Joy that can be used to construct various kinds of looping).
Here is a minimal QaSaC program. It consists of just one node which produces the sequence of integers, counting upwards from 0. Eventually, wiring together the individual nodes into the flow-chart will be done through a graphical editor, but we have a somewhat clunky text syntax, just to have something to work with.
The line starting ! declares the named channels which a QaSaC program demands from its environment. A line starting with = defines extra named channels within the program. Finally we have a series of nodes, each of which is defined in two lines : the first wires up the internal channel names to the global channel names. The second is the actual code of the node's sub-program.
Locally, nodes have three predefined input channels called X, Y and Z. And two predefined output channels called -> and +>
The node's code has an initiation phase and a looping phase. The vertical bar | separates the two.
Simple counter
! out {-> out} 0 | DUP -> 1 +
The initialization phase consists of putting a 0 on the stack. The infinite loop then duplicates the top of the stack, pops the top of stack and sends it to the output channel (which is wired to global "out"), the program puts a 1 on the stack and executes the + operator to add the top two items on the stack, the 0 and the 1. The resulting 1 is placed back on the stack and we return to the beginning of the looping section ...
Now let's wire a filter to this counter
! out = c1 {-> c1} 0 | DUP -> 1 + {X c1} {-> out} X DUP [->] SWAP 2 % 0 == [DROP] SWAP COND
Here we create a second, internal channel called c1. We connect the output of our counter to it.
c1 feeds into the second node which filters the stream for even numbers. This node is wired with X as the local name for c1. So X pulls the next available value from c1 and puts in on the stack. We duplicate it. Then place a block on the stack. The block contains the instruction to output the top of the stack to ->, but we aren't executing it yet. We now SWAP the top two items on the stack so we have
<x, [->], x> where x is the number pulled from the input queue. We now place 2 on the stack and execute the % (modulus) operator. If x was divisible by two we get a 0 on top of the stack, if not we get 1.
Now we place a second 0 and execute the equality test == to put either a True or False on the top of the stack which now looks, for example, like this
<12, [->], True> (if x was 12). We place the block containing DROP to make
<12, [->], True, [DROP]> and swap the top two to get
<12,[->],[DROP],True> ... we are now set up to use the COND combinator. This combinators takes the top three items from the stack. The top is assumed to be a boolean. If it's true we execute the third ("leftmost" when looking at our representation of the stack, it's more intuitive to read this way around) block. If it's false we execute the second.
In the current example, 12 is divisible by 2, and the boolean is True, so COND executes the block of code containing [->]. The three arguments to COND are already gone, so the filter now outputs the number 12. Had we had the number 13
<13,[->],[DROP],False> then the COND would have executed the [DROP] block (ie. dropping the top of the stack without output.)
QaSaC is work in progress. The interpreter is written in Clojure, and can be found at https://github.com/interstar/qasac

We have experience with interpreting at business meetings, workshops and even state visits. Our interpreters are experts in consecutive interpreting and have Finnish, Norwegian, German or English as their mother tongue or their first working language.
We focus on consecutive interpreting, an area in which we have acquired many years of experience. The key to successful interpreting lies not only in language skills, but also in specialist interpreting knowledge in the requested field and cultural empathy. We also place great store in only using interpreters with whom we have worked for a number of years. We can guarantee high quality, because we concentrate on interpreting solely in the Scandinavian languages, German and English.

About the book:
Body Warfare starts where the other diet books end. This is the icing on any weight loss attempt, in that it provides strategies for the reader to not only lose weight but keep it off.
There is always an assumption with diet books that people trying to lose weight have endless motivation and they will be able to keep it off when the diet stops. If this actually worked the diet industry would not be thriving as it is.
Body Warfare shows the reader how to recognise those eating habits and thoughts which ensure they always put the weight back on and provides a strategy to keep motivation levels high; introducing the S.T.A.R Strategy, a step wise approach guaranteed to reboot flagging motivation levels, it's simple to remember and easy to apply.
The book guides the reader through a process of self discovery, learning how their usual thought patterns sabotage weight loss attempts. Body Warfare uses examples that every "dieter" will see themself in and provides a framework for what a healthy lifestyle could look like without deprivation and dieting.
Body Warfare is different to other weight loss books as it recognises that people who are chronic dieters are there due to the way they use food not because they don't know what they should be eating. Body Warfare provides many practical examples of how people sabotage themselves which reinforces to the reader that they are not alone in thinking the way they do, but also provides suggestions for changes which will create sustainable weight loss.

The New Year brings with it a need and a desire to improve things, a fresh start if you will, and top of 99.9pc of people's lists is 'get fit'. After Christmas finally comes to a close, I find myself sober, with no parties to look forward to for a while, and faced with the cold hard fact: I am unfit.
My most energetic movements of late have been tripping about town or reaching forward to the enormous tin of Celebrations on the coffee table and, to be honest, I am bored with not feeling spritely. Being unhealthy is so 2009.
While I am all for working out, there's something about my previous regime of throwing on an old T-shirt of my brother's and my ancient tracksuit bottoms that eventually made me want to avoid it all together. I would never want to be the gym show-off who prances about in the smallest slips of Lycra and an immaculately made-up face; however, seeing as I write about fashion, the skanky gear has to go and I need something vaguely attractive.
First up was investing in some nice new gear -- so far, so enjoyable. I made my way into American Apparel and, an hour later, emerged triumphant. Their tracksuit bottoms are amazingly soft and super-long, which is vitally important. And, without wanting to get too intimate, investing in an amazing sports bra -- alongside good runners -- is about the most important thing a woman can do. The Shock Absorber, although pricey at €47.50, is incredible and sort of moulds itself to your shape, supporting you exactly where it should.
Tesco also has some really reasonable pieces and, should you be really stretched cash-wise, I thought these flat, low-cut shoes would be perfect to slip on for a walk around the block.
I am also a huge fan of layering, so I liked their long-sleeve T-shirts, one on top of the other, topped off with the body warmer. Adidas also had my favourite pair of black leggings.
One cold morning, I optimistically made my way into the Pat Henry Fitness Centre and met Cathy Morrow. Having lost a stone-and-a-half herself, Cathy knows exactly what it feels like to be on the wrong side of buttoning up your jeans. She sort of eyed me up and didn't take seriously any of the rubbish that was coming out of my mouth. Her regime is a very basic one: work hard, know that weight does not come on overnight so it's not going to disappear overnight, and know that it's worth it.
After an hour in Cathy's company, I was puce and breathless. I walked home in a daze. The Celebrations were on the coffee table and I was so disgusted at the amount of work I had to do to rid myself of them, I took the remainder of the tin and chucked it in the bin.
Cathy advised me that investing in a good pair of runners is essential. You get what you pay for, but €80 upwards will guarantee you a good pair that should last the year.
Happy exercising.

Why is animal lover Jann Arden promoting the Calgary Stampede?
Let Jann Arden know that rodeo is cruel – see actions below. Singer Jann Arden, long known as an animal lover, has been named as a joint-parade marshall for the Calgary Stampede parade, the event that kicks off the ten-day rodeo, fair and chuckwagon races. The announcement is a surprise, given Arden's previously stated opposition to the chuckwagon races, shown in this tweet from
Calgary Stampede under fire for purchasing favourable "journalism"
Canadaland reports that in 2011, the Calgary Stampede commissioned a piece to run in prestigious magazine Canadian Geographic. Journalist Curtis Gillespie thoroughly investigated, and ultimately wrote a piece entitled "Rodeo under scrutiny: The debate over animal care at the Calgary Stampede." Among other things, the balanced piece explained that horses were bred specifically to buck; horses who didn't buck wildly enough were slaughtered.
Is the tide turning against rodeo in Canada?
Photo: Jo-Anne McArthur . There are encouraging signs that attitudes toward rodeo and chuckwagon races in Canada may be changing, if independent opinion in mainstream media is anything to go by. A recent editorial in the Vancouver Sun said that it was "hard to argue" with the description of the Calgary Stampede as "a spectacle of animal abuse." In the same week, a
Tormenting animals is always outrageous
The harassment of a moose has rightly provoked shock and anger but rodeo animals face routine abuse and it's considered entertainment. Video of several men tormenting a moose in northern B.C. has gone viral and caused outrage around the world. Conservation officers have launched an investigation and the perpetrators could face heavy fines if caught and charged. . . .
You are not alone if you oppose rodeo cruelty
Photo: Jo-Anne McArthur, We Animals . VHS is well known for its campaigns against rodeo cruelty and many compassionate Canadians have supported our efforts. But most animal welfare organizations here in Canada and around the world also oppose rodeo. Here in British Columbia, the BC SPCA has taken a strong stand against cruel rodeo events. Most recently, in week fifteen of its Million
Why does CBC Sports broadcast animal cruelty at the Calgary Stampede?
Tell CBC to stop broadcasting violence toward animals. Sign our petition! CBC Sports has confirmed to VHS that it will once again broadcast the Calgary Stampede's rodeo and chuckwagon races in July. Despite severe budget cuts to its sports coverage, the CBC apparently is keeping its rodeo coverage intact. VHS has explained to CBC Sports executives that rodeo is considered inhumane by virtually
Thank you to the compassionate people who stand against animal cruelty at the Calgary Stampede
VHS would like to thank everyone who has supported our ongoing efforts against cruelty to rodeo animals at the Calgary Stampede. Another Stampede is over and two more animals are dead – a chuckwagon horse and a steer. The steer is the third to die in the steer-wrestling event in the last five years. More than 80 animals have died at the Stampede
Does this horse look happy?
The photo above is of a bucking horse at the Calgary Stampede. Look closely at the horse's face in the photo below. Can anyone honestly say they think the horse is enjoying the experience? Rodeo promoters say that horses in the bareback and saddle-bronc events love to buck, that it's natural, that the horses are "born to buck." It's true that they are bred
Travel writers, truth and animal welfare
Last week, a travel article appeared on the website of Fodor's, the world's largest publisher of travel and tourism information, describing the author's recent visit to the Calgary Stampede. The article gushed over the Stampede's recovery from the flood in June and detailed all the activities to be enjoyed, summing up the experience this way: "Part rodeo, part party, part fair, part food fest, all fun; the
VHS response to horse death at Stampede
July 13, 2013 VHS is extremely sorry to hear of the death of another horse at the Calgary Stampede chuckwagon races. It is getting harder for the public to believe that these deaths are just coincidence or bad luck. There is something inherently unsafe about the race. Nothing the Stampede has done has stopped horses dying. VHS is reiterating its call for the Stampede

OC Global Wins Detailed Design and Construction Supervision Contracts for North-South Railway Projects in the Philippines
Leading a consortium of six Japanese consulting firms, Oriental Consultants Global has landed a contract worth an estimated 7.96 billion yen (approx., USD 74 million) to prepare the detailed design of the Malolos-Clark Railway Project and the North-South Railway Project (NSRP) in the Republic of the Philippines. The contract was awarded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on the 28th of November 2017, and the work will be jointly conducted with the Philippine government.
This contract closely follows the award of an estimated 14.4 billion yen (USD 136 million) contract by the Philippine Department of Transportation (DOTr) for supervising the construction of the Malolos-Tutuban section of the same north-south corridor, referred to as the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Project.
The national capital and heart of the Philippines' economy, Metro Manila is experiencing an extraordinary rate of growth. The economy is rapidly expanding and the population of 13 million is swelling through internal migration. The transportation system faces many problems and is chronically unable to meet demand. As a result, the Philippine government will inject desperately-needed reform into the railway industry in the form of a plan for an additional 178 kilometers of railway centering on Manila.
As leader of both consulting teams, OC Global has undertaken the detailed design of the main section of the NSRP (Malolos-Tutuban) and will be handling the supervision of its construction. With this new contract award, we will also conduct the detailed design of the northern Malolos-Clark section and the southern Solis-Calamba section of the line. The Philippine government has its sights set on opening these railways during the term of the current administration.

Seen shaking hands are Arthur Tugade, the Secretary of the Department of Transportation (3rd from Right) and Yuuji Asano, OC Global's Manila Chief Manager (2nd from right).

HNHH TIDAL Wave: Travis Scott, NBA YoungBoy & Danny Brown Hit Hard
This week's edition of the TIDAL Wave playlist, curated by the HotNewHipHop staff, is officially here and it starts off the right way. The initial cut on the TIDAL-exclusive collection of music is Travis Scott's "HIGHEST IN THE ROOM," which has already broken records with its high streaming numbers. Whenever La Flame announces that he's dropping new music, you know people will flock to it. At this point in his career, he doesn't really need to give much notice. He releases something and it shoots up the chart. There is a direct correlation. Following up "HITR" is Danny Brown's "Savage Nomad," which was chosen as a staff-favourite from this week's releases.
If you're unfamiliar with the selection process of this playlist, each one of our staff-members brings in five recent picks for their most-played songs of the last week. It gives you a chance to learn more about who's writing the articles you love (or love to hate) and if you'd jam with them. TIDAL Wave is packed with an assortment of Danny Brown songs this week, as well as left-over hits from Kevin Gates, the new single from Gucci Mane and Megan Thee Stallion, Guapdad 4000's new track, Lil Tjay's most recent contributions, and more.
Who has your favorite picks from this week? If you're not yet signed up for a TIDAL membership, change that here. With the best quality streaming on the market, it's hard to go back to one of their competitors once you've made the switch.

text: Directed, co-written and produced by Todd Phillips, "Joker" stars Joaquin Phoenix in this character study of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham City's fractured society. Longing for any light to shine on him, he tries his hand as a stand-up comic, but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty and, ultimately, betrayal, Arthur makes one bad decision after another that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events.

As I first approached this site it was evident that it was embedded in a field hedge, which didn't bode well. Such sites are usually very damaged or very difficult to see properly. However, when I finally found the right field I was very relieved to see that the monument is actually free-standing and not in the hedge.
From the gate it looked as if it was just a pile of earth and that there is nothing much to see. This couldn't be further from the truth. Within this narrow mound there is a narrow chamber that has a single roofstone. Access to the gallery is via a narrow opening at one end.
The 3m long, 1m wide gallery is mostly covered with just the opening and one small section of the wall exposed. In this exposed area there is a small gap between the top of the orthostat and the roofstone. There is a small chocking stone in this gap to help keep the roofstone level.
In wedge tombs and court tombs the burial compartment is known as a gallery and collectively wedge and court tombs are called classified as 'gallery graves'. This is because the inner area is long and narrow, i.e. bascially rectangular, in plan.
In court tombs the gallery is usually divided into two or more chambers by jambs. Wedge tombs are segmented by sill stones, as are a few court tombs.
A large stone stood upright to form the wall of a passage or chamber, usually in a passage tomb, but can also refer to the walls of any tomb.

This is an explanation of (and a bit of a disclaimer for) the coordinates I provide.
Where a GPS figure is given this is the master for all other coordinates. According to my Garmin these are quite accurate.
Where there is no GPS figure the 6 figure grid reference is master for the others. This may not be very accurate as it could have come from the OS maps and could have been read by eye. Consequently, all other cordinates are going to have inaccuracies.
The calculation of Longitude and Latitude uses an algorithm that is not 100% accurate. The long/lat figures are used as a basis for calculating the UTM & ITM coordinates. Consequently, UTM & ITM coordinates are slightly out.
UTM is a global coordinate system - Universal Transverse Mercator - that is at the core of the GPS system.
ITM is the new coordinate system - Irish Transverse Mercator - that is more accurate and more GPS friendly than the Irish Grid Reference system. This will be used on the next generation of Irish OS maps.

The first time I read this, I was very, very sad. Our collective IQ must be deteriorating if even inventors are getting stupid.
Ok, here's the premise. They want to take Alzheimers patients and give them RFID tags so their caregivers can track their wanderings and, in theory, come find them when they get lost. The base has a range, and when the tag goes out of range, it alerts with an alarm. They claim that this would give the Alzheimers patient more freedom to rome. Anybody see a problem with this? I see several.
First off, the thing only beeps when the person goes out of range, so how do you go about finding your dear old lost soul? You would have to go in four directions if you wanted to have a hope of finding them.
Second, these folks aren't the type who should be left free to rome. If their alzheimers is so serious that you're worried they'll wander off, when they're "roming", they're not off to the store to get some milk or going down the street to visit a friend. Maybe they think they're off to the store for milk, but they're thinking of a store near where they used to live. Maybe they're wanting to visit a friend who is now dead. Then they get lost. They most likely need supervision, not tracking! I understand that could be hard for family members, but if the person needs to be watched so closely, perhaps it's time for the family to get some help caring for that person.
Third, the inventors of this stuff shouldn't delude themselves for a second. People with degrees of dementia have moments of clarity, and in one of those, they could remove your handy dandy tracker before going off on a jaunt that they knew would be out of range, or they could just get pissed that you were making them wear an electronic monitoring device like some house arrest prisoner and remove it. Lots of Alzheimers patients are very angry as the memory slips more and more. wouldn't you be if you think of yourself as independent, and now everything that you consider to be a solid recollection of what you've done is questioned, and you forget who these people are who are managing your life?
Finally, I think this thing gives caregivers too much peace of mind. They think they can just leave the person alone because the tracker will beep if they wander off. Hey dude, the tracker won't beep if they leave the stove on and almost burn the house down, or drop something on themselves. They still need supervision!
I think we're too quick to replace old-fashioned ways of doing things with technology that lets us sit back and do nothing. Sometimes that works, but sometimes it just makes no sense! I'm waiting for the first lawsuit filed when someone's dear old grandma gets hurt and nobody knew about it because the tracker didn't go off to tell them something was wrong.

QUINCY — U.S. Sen. Ed Markey sees healthcare as one of the top issues for Massachusetts residents, especially since the Affordable Care Act hangs in the balance with President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, hosted a town hall meeting Sunday at Quincy High School to discuss his latest efforts in the U.S. Senate, including on healthcare and the Supreme Court.
"The issue (of healthcare) is at the top of the list for everyone because it deals with pre-existing conditions, women not paying more for care than men and making sure there is funding for Medicare and Medicaid," Markey said Sunday.
Several dozen residents from across the South Shore lined up to ask questions about Department of Defense funding, accessibility laws, cyber security and U.S. relations with Russia and President Vladimir Putin. Markey pointed to the November election as a solution for many of the problems raised.
"Privately a lot of Republicans don't like what the president is doing," Markey said in response to a question about Russia. "We need Republicans who will stand up to the worst excesses of the president. ... All we can do is turn this into an election issue."
Markey said Kavanaugh is a "real threat" to the Affordable Care Act and the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal. Kavanaugh is a federal Appeals Court judge and has taught at Harvard Law School for 10 years.
Markey said the Affordable Care Act is not perfect, but it has many strengths, including a national guarantee that people with pre-existing medical conditions still have access to affordable health insurance. He asked people in the audience to raise their hands if they or family members have pre-existing conditions, prompting many arms to go up.
"That protection is a central new law in our country, and that law could be repealed," he said.
Kavanaugh's nomination was vetted and approved by the Federalist Society, and Markey said he's "absolutely the wrong person" for the Supreme Court. If Democrats take back the Senate, Markey said Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing won't take place.
"It's imperative that people keep their voices high," Markey said. "Ultimately this is going to be a voting issue by the American people."
Markey also talked about efforts to combat the opioid epidemic destroying families across the country. In January, Trump signed a bill drafted by Markey giving border patrol agents chemical screening devices to detect and seize illicit fentanyl, which Markey said is now responsible for 80 percent of overdoses.
In an effort to prevent opioid addiction, Markey said he is pushing for a law that would require prescription opioids to be labeled as such.
"Parents don't necessarily know what Percocet is, but they do know what an opioid is, so we want it labeled the same way we have a warning on cigarettes," he said.

Straight out of the Babylon Uprising camp Mincewa brings us episode 17 of Uprising Radio.
Image your in your mums car listening to your walkman (yeh a walkman with tapes an all!) then the battery runs out and you have to listen to your mums tunes on the car stereo, but then she crashes the car into a wall of the local nightclub….thats what this mix sounds like! With 31 tunes in 26 minutes this selection does not stand still and is as ridiculous as the the Dj that made it.
The perfect housework / getting ready to go out playlist …..one for the galdem we think.

WILBURTON, OK (Nov. 20, 2015) – McAlester High School students had a full day of activity recently as they traveled to Ft. Smith, Arkansas, to tour the University of Arkansas at Ft. Smith (UAFS) and to Warner, Oklahoma, to tour Connors State College (CSC).
The 40 McAlester GEAR UP students began their day in the Baldor Technology Center at the UAFS where they were welcomed to the campus. Student ambassadors shared their experiences at UAFS. McAlester students completed information cards and ambassadors discussed programs, majors and degree options available. Students learned that Oklahoma residents attending UAFS may receive in–state tuition rates. UAFS offers Associate's degrees as well as Bachelor and Graduate degrees. UAFS is one of the few campuses where freshmen are not required to live on campus.
Admissions Officer Rebecca Cheek and the student ambassadors led students around the new, modern campus. Students were divided into groups and traveled the spacious campus. The tour included stops at the Boreham Library where students learned about technology services including free rental of laptops for research and assignments.
The Smith–Pendergraft Campus Center included art displays as well as the food court, Campus Activities Board and the Lion's Bookstore.
Students waived to UAFS Chancellor Paul Beran as they passed the Fullerton Administration Building, and ambassadors discussed services offered.
A highlight for students was touring the residential housing suitably named the Lion's Den. The student housing at UAFS is impressive with the newly–built structure which includes a commons kitchen and laundry facilities. Students toured dorm rooms that were spacious and private with the largest rooms accommodating three students.
Students boarded the bus and traveled to Warner to visit the Connors State College campus. The tour at CSC began in the Fine Arts Auditorium where students were welcomed to campus and given basic info about Connors State College. CSC Recruiter Casey Owens and Coordinator of Residential Life and Special Events Jonathan Rowe led the students on the campus tour.
Students toured the Randolph Hall student housing and were impressed by the single room set–up available. They were also excited about the pool on campus in the middle courtyard of the dorm halls.
After viewing the dorms, the tour moved across campus to the Agriculture program and buildings. The Ag horses were on display. Students also learned about Connors' collegiate rodeo team. To conclude the tour, the group was given an inside seat to the CSC women's basketball program and watched the Cowgirls practice.
"This was another great trip," said GEAR UP Education Coordinator Rachael Ranallo. "Visiting two campuses in one day was tiring, but really gave students a lot to think about. The campuses were very different, yet each had positive elements to offer students."
The field trip was sponsored by Eastern Oklahoma State College GEAR UP. Participating schools take two field trips each academic year—one to tour a college or university and one that is cultural/educational in nature.
McAlester GEAR UP students gathered for a photo on the steps of the UAFS Baldor Technology Center. Pictured are:Front Row: Sarah Harrison, Manning White, Thomas Delcid, Angelica Postoak, Kaitlyn Brown and Bianca Sanchez.

8 Eye-Popping Ultra HD Videos To Watch On Your New 4K TV [Stuff to Watch]
Wander down to your local electronics boutique and you're sure to find a selection of commanding 4K TVs, just begging to take over your living room. If TV doesn't cut it, a new breed of computer monitor, newer iMacs and even virtual reality headsets are all going 4K – but there's just one problem.
Content is sparse. The latest games consoles only output a 1080p image, and you'll need to spend serious money on a couple of high-end graphics cards if you're hoping to enjoy the upcoming GTA V in 4K.
But that doesn't mean there's nothing in 4K to watch. We've trawled high and low and found some eye-popping 4K videos that take full advantage of the ridiculous number of pixels at your disposal, for free.
Note: You can enable 4K by clicking on YouTube's quality toggle in the lower-right corner of the embedded video.
93 Minutes of Open Ocean
Remember those 1080p looping fireplace videos that were all the rage when high definition first landed? It appears that this is the natural progression – over an hour and a half of the South China Sea, with no breaks, no repetition and unfortunately nothing in the way of sound. Zen? Pointless? Who cares, just look at all that blue…
In the same vein as documentaries like Samsara and Baraka (each of which peak at 1080p), Biosphere is a narrative-free documentary that takes an observant view of life on planet earth. Beautifully shot in glorious 4K, see Canada, Bhutan, Papa New Guinea and Chile in stupendous definition, with a fitting ambient soundtrack to boot.
The Streets of Japan by GoPro
You've probably heard by now that GoPro's latest HERO4 Black "strap it to your face and jump off a mountain 7 Videos That Will Make You Want a GoPro Camera [Stuff to Watch] Clever marketing goes beyond memorable advertising when it demonstrates exactly what you are missing out on by not owning a product. I'm not usually a sucker for advertising, preferring instead to make my own mind... Read More " action-camera is capable of shooting in 4K at 30 frames per second. I can't think of a better way to experience Japan's bonkers custom motorcycle and four-wheeled Bosozoku scenes than through an arsenal of imaginatively-mounted GoPro cameras.
Peru & Machu Picchu
Devin Super Tramp's YouTube channel is a bounty of ultra HD video, and it's well worth a trawl (and a follow) if you're looking for short, sharp bursts of 4K content. Of the videos on his channel, one that really stood out is the result of a recent trip to Peru and its most famous landmark, Machu Picchu.
New York in 4K
Around The World 4K is a new international YouTube project focused on capturing every corner of the world in ultra high definition, "for the pleasure and entertainment of our dear viewers" over the coming two years. They've stopped off in Chicago, the Grand Canyon, the Sedona and Monument valleys and their most popular video to date, New York.
The Sun & The Earth
Advances in space photography have enabled us to capture some incredibly impressive sights of distant galaxies, star clusters and cosmic phenomena on the fringes of the known universe. Point the lens closer to home however, and the results are just as impressive. Take this 4K timelapse video of the sun from October 14th to October the 30th 2014, complete with the largest observed sunspot in 22 years and backed by the sun's "heartbeat".
Similarly impressive is this timelapse of the Earth, captured by the Elektro-L weather satellite between May 15th and May 19th 2011. Though this is 4K quality (3840×2160 pixels), the satellite itself is capable of creating a 121 megapixel image at a size of 11136×11136 pixels, with a version half that size available on request.
Gigapixels of Andromeda
Your HDTV doesn't just do wonders for video, but also images. What better image to explore than the largest one ever taken by NASA? This 4.3 GB, 1.5 billion pixel-rich shot of the Andromeda galaxy features over 100 million stars, thousands of star clusters and a total visible area of 40,000 light-years. And if you want to feel really small this is just one galaxy – hundreds of billions of other galaxies also exist.
Check out the full image to further blow your mind.

Seven people injured in three-car collision
Seven people were injured with two left in a critical condition after a collision between three cars near Chichester, West Sussex last night.
A Subaru Impreza collided with an Audi on a bend in the B2178 Old Broyle Road, near Chichester, causing a small engine fire. Emergency services were first called to the scene just after 22:20. Of the five occupants of the Subaru, two men were critically injured with head and chest injuries and the other three were seriously injured.
A SIMCAS doctor and six ambulances from SECAMB and South Coast Ambulance were required along with West Sussex Fire and Rescue and Sussex Police to manage the incident. The most seriously injured patients received emergency treatment on scene before being transported to St Richard's Hospital Chichester. The other victims were taken to St Richard's or Queen Alexandra Hospital, Cosham.
SIMCAS doctor Neil Iosson said "This was one of the worst crashes I have attended in some time. Several people were extremely seriously injured in this collision and it is thanks to the immense teamwork by all the emergency services that we were able to get them all treated and transported to hospital rapidly."
The five men and two women involved – all thought to be in their twenties or thirties – remain in hospital at this time (00:30) and two are critically ill. The B2178 remains closed for police collision investigations.


text: Better Off Bald chronicles my sister Adrienne's 147-day battle with liver cancer; the book also shows how I reared Adrienne from the time she was eight until she died at the age of fifteen. While I narrate the story in present tense, I use flashbacks to explain how I gained custody of Adrienne from our mother, how our relationship evolved over time, and how we displayed our unconditional love for each other. Adrienne's courageous spirit is revealed as she squeezes more life in 147 days than most people do in a lifetime. From meeting Jay Leno to spending the day with Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction, Adrienne makes every moment count. As she lay dying, my younger sister Adrienne taught me how to live.

Remember when planning a wedding used to be a hassle?
Remember when planning a wedding used to be a hassle? Well, it still is! But at least finding bridesmaid dresses has become much easier.
Thanks to the Internet, now you can shop for bridesmaid dresses online and get virtually the same interactive experience as you would inside a physical store. While you cannot actually try on the outfits over the Internet, online stores offer you many other options that will be important as the big day draws closer.
You can email pictures back and forth so both the store and customer can better communicate with one another. You can compare prices between stores, as well as the different styles of different gowns available. Not satisfied until you can hold the bridesmaid dresses in your own hands? Online directories can find a local store close to you.
Some online stores are known to customize bridesmaid dresses according to your wishes
Some online stores are known to customize bridesmaid dresses according to your wishes. They can take measurements and analyze photographs and based on that, design for you a complimentary dress tailor-made to fit and flatter your body. They can also offer a nice selection of plus-size bridesmaid dresses.
The color of a dress is very important. Many brides today are asking their bridesmaids to wear either the same dress style in different colors or wear the same color with an individual style. Bridesmaids are asked to choose a color or style that best suits their skin tone and personality.
This is why online stores are offering more customization in bridesmaid dresses
This is why online stores are offering more customization in bridesmaid dresses—not just in size or style but also in color and fabric selection. Stores can offer a large selection of dresses in the same fabrics and colors. Beyond that, some stores offer an interactive website tool where you can design your own dress. You choose the style, the fabric and then a color. You can also add customized sashes, flower pins and trims. These customizable options allow for more coordination and less stress over what to wear.
The most important feature of online shopping for bridesmaid dresses is of course the long distance contact. Since everything can be done online, your friend from Iowa could mail her dress specifics to you in California, and within minutes the order can be processed.
Another plus to browsing for bridesmaids dresses online is the endless selection. When you go to a local bridal store you'll be limited to several dozen choices but when you shop for the dresses online, that number increases tenfold.
Choosing bridesmaid dresses can be a hassle if there is disorganization and if your options are narrowed
Choosing bridesmaid dresses can be a hassle if there is disorganization and if your options are narrowed. Take advantage of all that online shopping has to offer and the experience of purchasing bridesmaids dresses will be much easier.
When a woman is asked to be an attendant at a wedding, the first thing that comes to her mind is the bridesmaid dresses. There are many horror stories about ugly gowns floating around and most of them are true. I have seen many awful gowns, especially the ones that were designed in the 1980's. There are still a lot of ugly bridesmaid dresses out there, so beware bridal attendants.
I am the maid of honor for a good friend's wedding and we recently visited a bridal store to try on our gowns. The bride chose a few bridal gowns and she chose a few bridesmaid dresses in advance. One of the wonderful things about looking for formal wear on the Internet is the convenience of choosing the styles that you like ahead of time.
I tried on three bridesmaid dresses and I was very impressed
I tried on three bridesmaid dresses and I was very impressed with the bride's good taste. When she told me that she wanted the bridesmaids to wear pink, strapless gowns, I think that my heart stopped. I imagined a shocking pink, form-fitting dress that would accentuate my every flaw. What I found were three lovely bridesmaid dresses that really compliment any figure.
The difficulty lay in choosing only one gown. The bride and I immediately knew which bridesmaid dress looked the most attractive online, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that her secondary choice was far more flattering. I was comfortable and at ease in the bridesmaid dresses, but this one stood out.
The bridesmaid dresses are pearl pink
The bridesmaid dresses are pearl pink, and though they are strapless, the bride has opted to add short jackets as an accessory for those of us who don't like to attend church half-naked. The jacket is clean, just like the quietly pink gown. I think that I will be very happy with the bride's choice.
This choice was not very difficult for the bride and I was also glad that I only had to try on three bridesmaid dresses. I think that she knew which one I favored and chose that one. I tried to keep my opinion to myself until after she made her choice. It was her decision and I didn't want her to choose a gown simply to please me. She may have regretted being swayed. Fortunately, she chose a great gown.
I saw many other gowns that were simply awful. There were bridesmaid dresses that ballooned at the bottom. There were bright orange dresses that appear to glow in the dark. I actually saw a gown that was remarkably similar to a ballerina's tutu and I thanked my lucky stars that the bride in the wedding I'm attending is sensible and kind to her friends. I am going to stay on her good side. We haven't ordered the bridesmaid dresses yet. I don't want her to change her mind.

Part of backpacking and hiking is about the swag, and getting deals on swag. An issue I find with cheap swag is that there is a lack of reviews on them. This section of the webpage is where I try to do my part in reviewing the swag we have.
If you want to support this page, use our amazon affiliate link, though amazon isn't necessarily the cheapest when it comes to outdoors gear.
For the best deals and beginning hikers, used items are probably the best way to go. That's why the REI garage sales are so great. Additionally, facebook marketplace groups seem like a good option as well, though I haven't tried it myself.
Other useful websites for deals include backcountry.com (referral link – $10 for both) and theclymb (referral link – $10 for both). You want to look for promotions for the best deals with them. Former sites that use to be good were Sierra Trading Post (now owned by the TJMaxx group and just called Sierra.com) and Steep & Cheap (click on current steals; now owned by backcountry).
There is also a community driven drop.com (referral link – $10 for both) that I've found decent prices on – they use to be called massdrop.
Lastly, Google Shopping is an useful tool to price compare.

to be updated (last updated 2015-3)
- Various Iphones – it does a decent job and the software gets the contrast better sometimes then my cameras, rather my camera skills.
- Canon Powershot SX130 12.1 MegaPixels – owned since 2011 and retired, bought new for ~$120 at Best Buy
- It was a good first camera with some manual options for me to play around with. Also ran out AA batteries, so never needed to pack specifically for it.
- GoPro Hero3+ Silver – owned since 2014, bought new for $300 at REI
- Underwater camera useful for rainy times and diving. I have not regretted this for a small compact device that takes decent pictures.
- Sony Alpha a6000 24.3MP Silver InterCH.Lens Camera w/ 16-50mm Power Zoom – owned since 2015 and had to exchange because of malfunction in first 30 days, bought open boxed for $542.30 from buydig.com
- I have a love and hate relationship with this camera. I like that it is light and takes very good pictures. However after a year, the stock lens malfunctioned as I bumped it. Looking online, the stock Sony Alpha series lenses are very finicky. Not cool for a camera looking to be the best for low weight, high quality camera. It is a pretty common problem and I was able to fix it using youtube tutorials.
- Lenses
- Sony SEL-P1650 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 – kit lens purchased with camera body, breaks easily but manually fixed
- Sony SEL35F18 35mm f/1.8 Prime Fixed Lens – owned since 2016, bought used for $335.00 on ebay
- Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Lens Sony E-Mount – owned since 2016, bought new for $283.99 on ebay
