pixi.js Electron vs ChromeHi, I have encounted something strange and I don't know how to fix it. I have git cloned the examples page onto a local webserver and the plugin projection, 3D Camera spine layers works fine. But when I try to reproduce it into my electron app, the layers start acting like this. How can I fix this? I've tried everything, why does it work on the examples html page but not on my html page. thanks!
Pixi.js Showcase
Mat Groves posted a topic in Pixi.jsMade anything cool with pixi.js? Post it up here and share it with the world! Whether it's a cool game demo, a fully fledged website or some tripped-out crazy experiment, we would all LOVE to see it! To get the ball rolling, here are some pixi.js projects that exist out on the internets: games: http://www.goodboydigital.com/runpixierun/ http://www.theleisuresociety.co.uk/fightforeveryone/ http://flashvhtml.com/ experiments: http://gametest.mobi/pixi/morph/ http://gametest.mobi/pixi/balls/ http://www.goodboydigital.com/pixijs/bunnymark/
Image become black sometimes but it's alpha is correctHi guys I met a very difficult problem, this problem has been bothering me for more than a month My game sometimes has a part of the image rendering can not come out, but its alpha channel rendering is no problem I have no idea about this problem. Does anyone know what caused it? here's my problem: I'm using: phaser 2.13.3 with CANVAS mode dragonbones 5.6.2 electron 5.0.11
Image interpolation with JavascriptHi everyone, I have a picture that I draw pixel by pixel on the canvas. Size of the image: 512 * 256. When I make this picture 1536 * 768, the image looks very bad. I think I can use interpolation to fix this. But I couldn't find a good javascript library. It didn't work in the libraries I found. Is there anyone who can help me with this?
How to add Lottie Animation in Phaser3?
Ravi Kapuriya posted a topic in Demos and ProjectsI am trying to add Lottie animation in the Phaser 3 in my game. But I am not able to add. Lottie Animation link. This is how I am adding into my code : this.animation = bodymovin.loadAnimation({ container: document.getElementById("game"), // Required path: "assets/json/RainLoop.json", // Required renderer: "canvas", // Required loop: true, // Optional autoplay: true, // Optional name: "Hello World", // Name for future reference. Optional. }); But here problem is, this animation is attaching to the HTML DOM elements and so that the animation comes above the Phaser game canvas, Due to what I am not able to interact with my phaser game elements.
Integer pixels improve performance significantly
grelf posted a topic in Coding and Game DesignI have recently discovered a couple of useful pages about improving the speed of canvas operations. I will give links to those pages at the bottom of this item but first let me describe a good speed-up I got as a result of reading them. In my program The Forest (myforest.uk) I am continually looking for ways to improve the speed of drawing scenes. I have made several improvements already but this new one is very useful indeed. I have a Scene object with method draw() which is invoked whenever the observer moves or turns. From its earliest incarnation this method has reported how long it takes, so I can monitor what is going on. Its first line is var t0 = new Date ().getTime (); // ms and its last line calculates a difference and displays it in a status line on the HTML page: var dt = new Date ().getTime () - t0; forest.infoDiv.innerHTML = me.toString () + ", Drawn in " + dt + "ms (" + this.nDrawIms + " images)"; I have augmented that so that the constructor of forest.scene includes this.drawingTimes = ''; and a new final line at the end of draw(): this.drawingTimes += dt + '
'; I can cause drawing of the same scene over and over again by clicking a button labelled 'Look level' (as opposed to up or down buttons which would draw a slightly different view of the scene). This means I can build up a long string of forest.scene.drawingTimes. Then in a testing version I can press an otherwise unused key to dump those times as the innerHTML of a div in my HTML test page. The
s mean that I get a vertical column of values which I can then select, copy and paste into a spreadsheet (I use OpenOffice). Then it is easy to get the mean and standard deviation of the column. I did that twice for a large number of values. First with my last released version of The Forest and then with a tiny enhancement so that just before every time drawImage(im, x, y, width, height) is called I do this: x |= 0; y |= 0; Those are bitwise OR operations and their effect is simply to chop off the fractional parts of the screen coordinates x and y. This means that drawing starts on an exact pixel and does not require interpolation. The results: without the truncation (ORing) the mean time was 140.9ms with a standard deviation of 35.3ms; truncated the mean was 85.7ms and standard deviation 23.7ms. That is a very significant and useful improvement, so it will be going into my next version. The scene drawn here involved 1,693 calls to drawImage(), scaling each image (tree, ground, and other features) differently each time. From this big improvement I deduce that once drawImage() starts on an integer pixel then it uses integer pixels in the destination to decide where to get pixels from in the original image for scaling. In hindsight this is rather obvious really but I thought it would be useful to others to see how I went about proving the effect. I have noted before in this forum that the drawing time varies quite widely (as shown by the standard deviations) and I still attribute that to the workings of the garbage collector in the background. I should also point out that so far I have only measured this in FireFox. If you want to see more clearly what I am taking about, The Forest is at www.myforest.uk - from the initial map use the button (or key) to go to the scene. The pages which prompted this are: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API/Tutorial/Optimizing_canvas https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/canvas/performance/
javascript canvas sketchbooks
dr-okra posted a topic in Collaborations (un-paid)Hi, I'm a designer and I'd like to reach out to others for input or even collaboration. Lots of my javascript work is on github in the spirit of sharing and learning together. Like an open source sketchbook. I like making small experiments that might be included in something bigger. I often play with mechanics, audio and visual elements to look for interesting things : http://type76.com As you can see, it's lots of generated, three.js and canvas stuff, with a game dev leaning. I'm keen to go in new directions too. It's hard to find interest among my social circles, so I'm reaching out here to see if people are into this kind of thing. It's not business. It's about hitting ideas off each other, collaboration, fun and learning together. Maybe we can make an itch.io page if there is the will. You're welcome to join the discord server : https://discord.gg/KUqcuWu I'd love to see your experiments. Here or on discord. Things that aren't full games, but are fun and interesting concepts. This seems the place to look for like minded folks. Have you got a sketchbook? Is there a good CMS for this? I might be doing it wrong. Are there any other communities for this apart from discord servers full of revshare projects?
Phaser scale issues when browser window resizes
garethquirke posted a topic in Phaser 2My game does not scale correctly when the browser loads the game while the window size is made smaller. Another scenario is while in game state, the game will resize correctly, If I try to make the window bigger once again the game will be made out of scale and not usable really. this.scale.scaleMode = Phaser.ScaleManager.SHOW_ALL;

Preload Images in Dynamic Texture with Canvas Method
NRA posted a topic in Questions & AnswersHi all, I am doing a test to a client who ask me to build a dynamic using a sequence of 3D rendered images, I told him than that is not the right way in WebGl, the correct is to convert the 3D objects and use than. But he said than right now they can not do that. So I tryed to use Dynamic Texture with canvas method and it works, but I wanna know if somebody knows a way to preload the sequence of images in BJS, to get better? Because I think that has a delay right now about the loading issue. You can see it here http://iprojects.space/upwork/laval/ Thanks
Image is pixelatedHi I'm trying to run my game on a mobile device with the Phaser 3 framework and sprites are rendered as very pixelated images. I'm running the game through the Facebook web player. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6 device which the resolution is 1440x2560 with a device pixel ratio of 4. I have setup the same configuration on my PC through the Chrome mobile debug view (1440/2560 with pixel ratio of 4) and the images look way better. I have attached two screenshot of the PC (good) and mobile (bad) devices to show the difference. The game is rendered as CANVAS and I'm using the window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight to define the sizes. Does anyone have any insight about what's going on?
Why is camera.zoom different in CANVAS / WebGL?Today I got a headache from how... why... phaser3 handles the camera.setZoom(); - First thing I learned: all bodies need to be recalculated after .setZoom. - in WebGL works as expected. - in Canvas, Tilemaps are huge, the zoom isn't on point and even by recalculating the bodies, collision is way off. This could be reproduced by using this code and setting WebGL / Canvas. The code behaves differently depending on which you choose, and neither of both has a valid result. Am I missing something? Game config: // Game config type: Phaser.WEBGL, width: WIDTH, height: HEIGHT, scene: Level, resolution: 1, pixelArt: true, antialias: false, hidePhaser: true, roundPixels: true, backgroundColor: '161C22', zoom: 1, physics: { default: 'arcade', arcade: { gravity: { x: 0, y: 250 }, debug: true } }, tilemaps and camera: // Tilemap method setMap() { // # Add Tilemap this.config.map = this.make.tilemap({ key: 'map', tileWidth: 8, tileHeight: 8 }) const tileset = this.config.map.addTilesetImage('tilemap'); // # Add Tilemap Layers this.config.layers.background = this.config.map.createDynamicLayer(0, tileset); this.config.layers.midground = this.config.map.createDynamicLayer(1, tileset) this.config.layers.ground = this.config.map.createDynamicLayer(2, tileset); this.config.layers.forground = this.config.map.createDynamicLayer(3, tileset); this.config.layers.water = this.config.map.createDynamicLayer(4, tileset); // # Configure Tilemap Layers // replace with array of actual bodies this.config.layers.ground.setCollisionBetween([]); this.config.map.objects[0].objects.forEach((obj)=>{this.setMapObject(obj)}); // # Configure z indexes this.config.layers.background.setDepth(0); this.config.layers.midground.setDepth(1); this.config.layers.ground.setDepth(2); this.config.layers.objects.setDepth(3); this.config.layers.enemies.setDepth(4); this.config.layers.player.setDepth(5); this.config.layers.effects.setDepth(6); this.config.layers.water.setDepth(7); this.config.layers.forground.setDepth(8); this.config.layers.overlays.setDepth(9); this.config.layers.ui.setDepth(10); this.setTransition(); } // # Configure main camera const m = this.config.map; this.physics.world.setBounds(0, 0, m.widthInPixels, m.heightInPixels, true, true, true, true); this.cameras.main.setBounds(0, 0, m.widthInPixels, m.heightInPixels); this.cameras.main.setZoom(8); this.cameras.main.setRoundPixels(true); this.cameras.main.useBounds = false; this.config.layers.ground.setCollisionBetween(0, 8000); // add sprites this.config.player = new Player({ scene: this, x: 20, y: 30}); this.cameras.main.startFollow(this.config.player); this.physics.add.collider(this.config.player, this.config.layers.ground); Any thoughts, on this, would be helpful.
Take a screenshot to hide the change of stateHello everyone! I'm trying to accomplish the following task: - When there is a change of state I want to take a screenshot of the canvas, show to the user while the state is changing. Now I read that I should use canvas.toDataURL to obtain the base64 encoded Image. I can't understand the steps to accomplish this task. 1) I save the URL with canvas.toDataURL(). 2) I should convert the base64 to an image right? 3) I should add the Image to the cache OR i Should do a load.image? 4) The operation should be async right? Because in my trying the debugger console is saying that the image hasn't been retrieved and I don't understand how I can make toDataURL (or the conversion from base64 to png) async because there are no methods. Thanks for the help!
Pixi Canvas is coming white on mac safariHi, I am trying to display only the text content which is there in pixi example port. Everything is working fine in all the browsers except safari. Earlier it was working fine but from past 2 days it is showing only the white screen. All the assets and sounds are loading in background and I am able to play the sound and all but there is no visibility. Is there any specific reason for this or am I missing something ?. I have added the example script also. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. var app = new PIXI.Application(800, 600, {backgroundColor: 0x1099bb}); var element = document.getElementById('gameCanvas'); element.appendChild(app.view); var basicText = new PIXI.Text('Basic text in pixi'); basicText.x = 30; basicText.y = 90; app.stage.addChild(basicText); var style = new PIXI.TextStyle({ fontFamily: 'Arial', fontSize: 36, fontStyle: 'italic', fontWeight: 'bold', fill: ['#ffffff', '#00ff99'], // gradient stroke: '#4a1850', strokeThickness: 5, dropShadow: true, dropShadowColor: '#000000', dropShadowBlur: 4, dropShadowAngle: Math.PI / 6, dropShadowDistance: 6, wordWrap: true, wordWrapWidth: 440 }); var richText = new PIXI.Text('Rich text with a lot of options and across multiple lines', style); richText.x = 30; richText.y = 180; app.stage.addChild(richText);
Sprite Tint on CanvasHello, I'm seeing this behaviour that I can't understand, when applying a tint color to a sprite while using canvas as renderer. Right now for CORS reasons we're forced to use canvas in our app. I say this because in webgl the issue doesn't happen. The thing is the we're cutting images into stripes and applying a tint to each stripe, but this creates a line between the stripes: https://codepen.io/rhernando/pen/8fb06d28861d63ca5a6868f88c71f150?editors=0010 Just click the button to apply/remove the tint and you'll see the issue. Why this happens?, is there a way around this or is just what we get in canvas? Best, Rodrigo.
How to make click Pixelperfect on Canvas DEMO + Tutorial https://leoche.github.io/Pixelperfect-Click-Canvas/ Summary There is no easy way to draw something and capture a pixel perfect click on it with HTML5 canvas. But there is a trick! We can attribute a random color to each Sprite we create then on a new blank buffer canvas, draw all sprites but only with their respective colors. Capture mouse input coordonates on real canvas then look the color of the pixel on the buffer canvas then compare this color with your sprites. If colors matches you clicked on this sprite! Tada! Real pixel perfect inputs! Initial Setup I took 3 sprites. So Basically here, we have a Main class which have an Array of Sprite(x, y, img) instances: this.sprites = [ new Sprite(100, 100, this.imgs.bed), new Sprite(52, 146, this.imgs.table), new Sprite(80, 135, this.imgs.z) ] I had to set coordonates to make those sprites overlaping each other The class for Sprites is pretty simple: export default class Sprite { constructor(x, y, img) { this.x = x this.y = y this.img = img } render (ctx) { ctx.drawImage(this.img, this.x, this.y) } } For this example i didn't add a z or depth property to Sprites, we admit in this example that Sprites ordering is made by their position in array. I set up a time loop to call render which call render on each Sprite: setInterval(() => this.render(), 1000 / 30) ... render () { ... this.sprites.forEach( sprite => { sprite.render(this.ctx) }) } Result: Real things coming up First we need to generate a random color for each sprites and make a new method to render the image but with only one Color. constructor(x, y, img) { this.x = x this.y = y this.img = img this.name = this.img.id.replace('img-', '') // Return 'bed', 'table' or 'z' this.id = Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215).toString(16); // Return a random HEX Color console.log("Created '" + this.name + "' with color #" + this.id); //We want here to see what color is generated for this sprite } Console returns Now we want to create a method renderColor with a canvas buffer, So we just need to create a canvas with img sizes, fill with generated color then drawImage with destination-atop composition. renderColor (ctx) { var buffer = document.createElement('canvas'); buffer.width = this.img.width; buffer.height = this.img.height; var bx = buffer.getContext('2d'); bx.fillStyle = '#' + this.id bx.fillRect(0,0,buffer.width,buffer.height); bx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-atop"; bx.drawImage(this.img,0,0); ctx.drawImage(buffer, this.x, this.y) } For debug purposes we can now see the result if we update the render to render those colors sprites: render () { this.sprites.forEach( sprite => { sprite.render(this.ctx) sprite.renderColor(this.ctx) //DEBUG }) } Which give us this result: Create a global buffer for all this color sprites in Main constructor and render color sprites to it instead of the real canvas this.inputCanvas = document.createElement('canvas') this.inputCanvas.width = this.canvas.width this.inputCanvas.height = this.canvas.width this.inputCanvasCtx = this.inputCanvas.getContext('2d') ... render () { this.sprites.forEach( sprite => { sprite.render(this.ctx) // Previously: sprite.renderColor(this.ctx) sprite.renderColor(this.inputCanvasCtx) }) } then add an event listener to the real canvas and get pixel informations on the buffer canvas this.canvas.addEventListener('click', event => { let color = this.inputCanvasCtx.getImageData(event.layerX, event.layerY, 1, 1).data }) Convert the color data to HEX, and just compare with existing sprites! this.canvas.addEventListener('click', event => { let color = this.inputCanvasCtx.getImageData(event.layerX, event.layerY, 1, 1).data let hexColor = ("000000" + this.rgbToHex(color[0], color[1], color[2])).slice(-6) console.log('You just clicked on color #' + hexColor) let sprite = this.sprites.filter(sprite => sprite.id === hexColor) // You now have the sprite yea! }) ... // RGB Util rgbToHex(r, g, b) { if (r > 255 || g > 255 || b > 255) throw "Invalid color component" return ((r << 16) | (g << 8) | b).toString(16) } Console returns You now have your clicked Sprite!

solved Paint canvas with Fragment shader
dadiaar posted a topic in Questions & AnswersWhich is the best way to paint the canvas with an input Fragment shader using BABYLON? Not a mesh but directly the canvas itself. I could set up an ortographic camera and a plane in front of it, but that's... just bad. Thanks in advance

Pixi.JS / Pan & Zoom CanvasHi, I'm using Pixi since several days on a game prototype which consists in a map made of tiles. The problem is that I got a big map (2000px / 2000px), so it don't fit a desktop screen, and not any mobile screen. I am looking for a way to allow the user to pan (i.e. navigating on the canvas with mouse drag and drops (for desktop) and with the finger (for mobile devices) zoom in / out the canvas Like in google maps for example Any idea of an embedded feature I can use? Thanks in advance for you answers.

Lamden Community Manager Interview
– Before we begin, can you let us know who you are?
I am the Community Manager of Lamden, C.R. I actively manage the Telegram and Reddit (our currently most active outlets), and also work with Jason, our Marketing Manager, to strategize Lamden's outreach plans, which are aimed to show the larger crypto-community and enterprise world who we are and what we do.
-One of the first things we have to talk about is: what is Lamden (TAU) for anyone who hasn't heard about it?
Lamden is the name of the company that is creating the Lamden suite of developer tools for out-of-the-box blockchain creation for enterprises. We are also developing the Lamden blockchain, which will act as the central chain that any Lamden-based chain can interact with. Tau is the name of the agnostic token that will allow for interactions between chains through atomic swaps, converting one chain's assets to another.
-Can you give a short explanation of what the project is focusing on?
In the current crypto-scene, there is a lot of focus on developing new technology and pushing the limits of what blockchains can do. As with any great invention, it will only truly become relevant to the world when there is practical adoption of the technology to the point that it becomes part of everyday life. Given their decentralized nature and immutable record-keeping, blockchains have a very practical use for storing large amounts of important records or other types of protected data, and companies are first in line to benefit from its adoption. Some have even setting up their own blockchain R&D departments to try to figure this out. Lamden seeks to make this adoption as intuitive as possible for the programmers and developers of any company, by providing basic development tools that will standardize the enterprise blockchain-making process.
-How and where you see (TAU) in the future, in 1-5 years?
We expect to have our mainnet ready by the end of the year, launching Lamden into the world for practical use. As for five years down the line, it is hard to say, but we would hope that the accessibility of the Lamden Suite will allow it spread like wildfire, and perhaps become the go-to name for any business that is seeking to set up a blockchain network.
-There are so many projects going on this 2018 year. Who you see as your biggest competitor?
How do you compare your coin? Why is better/special?
Yes, there are a lot of different coins and tokens that we are compared to: Ark, EOS, Aion, Wanchain, Dragonchain, and Lisk to name a few. Some are trying to solve the same problems we are, while others have the same "enterprise" target. As for what makes us stand out: our entire model is about ease-of-use and quick adoptability. Atomic swaps will allow for an entire blockchain ecosystem to be formed seamlessly. Our developer suite will allow people to make blockchains without knowing any of the technical intricacies of the technology. We also feel we are technologically superior to competitors in many regards, such as our 10,000 transactions-per-second protocol able to be expanded with side chains.
-What is the best feature of the project?
I've mentioned our more market-friendly approach, but one feature I haven't gotten into is our set-up of a Turing Incomplete smart contract language, Seneca. Current smart contract platforms make it surprisingly simple to leave attack vectors open, leading to disasters striking the system at the drop of a hat (or a line of code). Several of these have caused multi-million dollar losses in the Ethereum chain, so the need for Turing Incompleteness is clear. You can see this in Vitalik's new programming language for Ethereum, Vyper, which limits the user heavily compared to Solidity, Think of Turing Incompleteness as the "iOS" of smart contracts: we take away the deep level of access to the code that the average user does not need, in replacement of a sleeker, user-friendly interface, ready for mass adoption. This ultimately allows for a safer and more usable blockchain model.
-What are the biggest difficulties you already faced and which ones are coming?
We are starting up at a time when there is an ICO for any and every type of possible (or impossible) use of blockchain, with a lot of blind trust from eager investors that leads to incompetence and even fraud. We are currently trying to stand out from this crowd and establish our legitimacy, not just as an ICO project, but as serious competitors for the enterprise blockchain market. We believe our code speaks for itself, publically accessible on our GitHub, so we expect this challenge will be overcome as time goes on with the release of out testnet and especially by our mainnet.
-I have been looking at your 3 main Blockchain projects (Flora, Saffron and Clove) and I am
wondering if you can give a quick summary about these 3 Titans.
These three are the heart of the Lamden suite, all of them making up our developer suite of tools that anyone can use to build a perfectly specialized blockchain. Flora is our smart contract manager, and will allow users to create customized smart contracts in seconds. Saffron is our blockchain tool creator that will allow the creation of customized chains based on basically any public chain of choice. Finally, Clove allows for atomic swaps that facilitate the connection of private chains to create a interdependent ecosystem of blockchains. We recently integrated over 600 cryptocurrencies into Clove and successfully tested several types of atomic swaps.
-If anyone wants to get involved on the coin community, what is the best way to do it?
You can visit our site at www.Lamden.io, which has recently been redone to include much more detail about our project. We also have our Telegram group where our CEO and lead developer, Stu, is very active and can answer any technical question or project-related question you have. Just search Lamdenchat on Telegram. If anyone is interested in seeing our latest announcement or updates, they can go to our blog at blog.lamden.io. Finally, we can also be found on Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and hope to expand to more social networks in the near future. Thank you everyone for reading about Lamden.

6 Convenient Locations - Ventura | Oxnard | Camarillo | Simi Valley | Thousand Oaks | Palmdale
Debridement is a well-established concept in problem wound bed preparation. It involves the removal of all necrotic tissue (skin, tendon, bone, muscle), biofilm, slough, fibrinous exudates, and hypovascular fibrous tissue from the wound site (burns, ulcers, etc) to reduce the risk of infection, facilitate healing, or permit the effective application of advanced wound products. Ultimately, debridement is aimed at improving wound healing outcomes. Wound debridement is performed by our wound care specialist in Los Angeles, Dr. Haimesh Shah.
When a wound is exposed to the air, the dead tissue forms a hard crust known as an eschar that can hamper the healing process and lead to abscesses, bacteria, and infection.
Wound debridement is usually done in 4 different ways, and the physician chooses the most appropriate one depending on the amount of tissue to be removed. These include:
Mechanical debridement is one of the oldest forms of wound debridement. This method uses a procession of moist to wet dressings, which are then manually removed. This causes non-selective debridement of necrotic tissue and slough (and sometimes healthy tissue as well).
Autolytic debridement uses the body's own enzymes to break down tough eschar and slough. It does not damage healthy skin, but breaks down dead and devitalized tissue over time quite effectively. The idea behind autolytic debridement is to keep wound fluids in constant contact with the wound. This is achieved with the use of semi-occlusive or occlusive dressings.
Enzymatic debridement utilizes chemical agents to break down necrotic tissue. They are most useful for debriding wounds with a large amount of necrotic tissue or slough formation.
Also referred to as sharp debridement, excisional debridement involves the use of a scalpel, scissors, or ultrasonic device to remove all unhealthy tissue that is dead or severely infected at the wound base or margin to provide a healthy, active wound that supports healing. It is done in the office, under local anesthesia.
As essential as debridement seems to the healing process, not all wounds require this procedure. In other words, there are some kinds of wounds that can benefit from the hardened crust of dead tissue, and others that can be worsened if debridement is performed, leading to reduced blood flow to the area.
Depending on the severity of your wound, the physician can perform surgical, chemical, mechanical, or autolytic debridement. Excisional debridement, is the fastest and most efficient way of wound debridment, and will probably be recommended by Dr. Shah unless there are some other concerns that are specific to your case.
For more information, please contact our wound care specialist in Los Angeles, Dr. Haimesh Shah of Center for Vein Wellness @ 1.844.77.VEINS or simply contact us online here.
Dr. Haimesh Shah of Center for Vein Wellness offers wound debridement services to Los Angeles & Ventura County including Oxnard, Camarillo, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks & more. This includes procedures such as surgical debridement, excisional debridement & non-excisional debridement.

I am extremely pleased to announce that the project I have been working on for the past two and half years photographing many lovely pregnant couples and their delightful babies, has gained me an Associateship qualification with the BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photographers).
On top of the associateship, my work has also been selected by the judging panel to be put forward for the "Peter Grugeon Award 2014" which is to take place in Hertfordshire later this year. Being nominated for the 2014 Peter Grugeon Award (named after the late Peter Grugeon FBIPP, best remembered for his images of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the 1970s) is really a great honour , and to receive such recognition is pheunominal as only a handful of photographers are nominated each year.
I am now starting to work for my Fellowship !! so ladies if you are having a baby in the next couple of months and would like your lovely bump photographed, or if you would like photographs of your newborn baby then please give me a call at the studio …..

Debt, Deficit, &
Government Spending
On the page below, you will find a few charts and additional details on why our debt, deficits, and spending should matter to you and those you love. But let me give you a little overview in reinforcing why this issue that's gotten so little attention should matter so much to our lives.
History says that debt and spending should matter because its pages show how consistently civilizations have extinguished themselves financially. There is no country in the history of man that has been able to outrun financial reality. It can certainly be done for a season, but over time math matters for the budgets of individuals, businesses, and even civilizations.
Social equity says that the debt and spending issues is the issue of our day, given the intergenerational wealth transfer that's taking place as our national debt mounts. Our country was founded on the notion of no taxation without representation, but given that deficits are nothing more than deferred taxes, young people today should be outraged at deficits accumulating at more than a trillion dollars a year. In this same vein, I find it amazing that we will spend more on interest next year than on all federal programs for children. These numbers will prove disastrous for young Americans.
Our nation's defense says debt and spending issues should matter because we will spend more on interest in 3 years than we do on the entirety of our national defense budget. Paul Kennedy wrote a great book years ago entitled 'The Rise and Fall of Great Powers' and showed how inextricably military supremacy was tied to economic supremacy.
The needs addressed by other government programs also highlight how this issue should matter. Interest costs compete with every other investment that our federal government might make, in improving lives and making our nation more competitive. In just 5 years, interest will be a greater expense than the entirety of what Congress debates every year on spending.
Your retirement account or savings account say it should matter because the build up of debt inflates prices – and that which goes up can come down. There are a host of indicators that show that we are now living in an asset bubble based on the buildup of debt. When that bubble pops, so to will the worth of our savings accounts, our retirement accounts.
Your job says that the debt and spending issue should matter because 2/3rds of our economy is driven by consumer spending. If the asset bubble pops, not only do our savings accounts go down, but so too do our job prospects, given the way that jobs have been tied to wealth and asset creation in our country.
I could go down a list of other reasons that this issue should be the issue of our times, but for now, let me take this as a starting point and ask that you dig into the details below.
U.S. Debt has Never Been Higher in Peacetime
Laurence Kotlikoff 210T / 60T / 40S
Laurence Kotlikoff 210T / 60T / 40S
While many people believe that our current debt levels are well below the post WWII highs, in fact if you compare apples to apples we are frighteningly close to where we were at the time that we were fighting for our survival against the Germans and the Japanese. We didn't have the same level of social-safety net commitments then that we do today. If you include these societal promises to the needy, the retired, and those in time to be retired [the light blue in the graph above] we are remarkably close to those post World War II debt highs. We in fact now have the highest level of debt that we have ever had in peacetime, and people like Laurence Kotlikoff at the University of Boston believe that the total of today's existing political promises to be about 200 trillion dollars.
America's debt is now compounding exponentially
Individual income tax 2017/2025 = 1.2
Sequester 150B/2020 = 2.1
Individual income tax 2017/2025 = 1.2
Sequester 150B/2020 = 2.1
The exponential growth of debt is vivid in this chart. It took us about 200 years to accumulate $5 trillion in national debt. It doubled under President George W. Bush as it went from $5 to $10 trillion. It doubled again under President Obama from $10 to $20 trillion. I believe it's well on its way to doubling once again under the eight years that would mark a two term Trump presidency. The Congressional Budget Office assumes a lower rate of growth in debt, to about 36 trillion, but their assumptions are optimistic given their generous forecasts on economic growth and future interest rates. Even if one accepted their projections, what the Congressional Budget Office has to assume in forming their budget is wildly optimistic based on the imagined politics that are built into existing law.
For instance, existing law assumes that the individual income tax rate cuts passed in 2017 will just disappear in 2025 because that's what's in current law. It's in no way politically realistic to think that the corporate tax change, which was permanent, will stay in place while individuals see their tax rates go markedly up. Similarly, it assumes that all the new spending that Republicans and Democrats just added last year to the budget will disappear next year. It was current law that the sequester would snap back into place next year, but it is in no way a realistic look at what will happen politically based on Republican and Democratic distaste for the sequester and what just passed with the debt deal just passed in August 2019.
Added Liabilities - Budget Deficits Highest Ever in Peace Time
Projected $1.2T average deficits over the next 10 years.
Well above historic average of 2.9% GDP at 4.4%
Projected $1.2T average deficits over the next 10 years.
Well above historic average of 2.9% GDP at 4.4%
We now face the largest deficits our country has ever faced in peacetime. We've never even been remotely close to the string of $1 trillion plus deficits we are projected to see over the next 10 years. The numbers will prove much worse because deficits are projected to rise from a little over $1 trillion dollars today to over $2.3 trillion over the next 10 years. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget believes we could be looking at deficits above $2 trillion a year over essentially the entire time period if interest rates go up, trade tensions escalate, or the economy soften. Groups like this also point out how unrealistic many of the projections are in the budget, and yet these forecasts lead to the Congressional Budget Office's more modest and unrealistic deficit projections.
Foreign Ownership of Our Debt
Chinese, $1.3T, 20%
Suez 1956
Chinese, $1.3T, 20%
Suez 1956
The Chinese now own $1.3 trillion, almost a quarter of our national debt held by foreigners. This is up markedly over the last 20 years as foreign governments have substantially increased their ownership of American debt. This is yet another limitation on our ability to react to a financial storm. The Congressional Budget Office has also said this degree of foreign ownership could work against our ability to project force around the world and our ability to ensure our security at home. America has gone from being the largest creditor nation in the world at the time of WWII, to now being the largest debtor nation in the world.
Highest Household Net Worth in last 70 Years
U.S. household Net Worth has averaged 384% of GDP since 1952, and has peaked above 400% only twice before in the last 70 years. It now stands at 535%.
U.S. household Net Worth has averaged 384% of GDP since 1952, and has peaked above 400% only twice before in the last 70 years. It now stands at 535%.
This should scream to every one of us how dangerous our debt, deficit, and spending issue is – and how it represents a clear and present danger to our way of life and the American dream. These numbers mirror a whole host of similar indicators across a broad range of assets that show we're living in extraordinary financial times that will not last. When things return to historic norms, there will be significant contraction in the economy.
This chart shows household worth relative to GDP – which again, is the whole of our economy. It shows how inflated things have become as a consequence of the significant injections of debt into the financial system. Over the last 70 years there have been 3 asset bubbles that have taken the household net worth number above 400% of GDP. This occurred first in 2001 with the dot-com bubble when, for the first time, this indicator moved above 400% to 450%. It spiked again at the time of the real estate bubble at 486%. And has now spiked at 535%. We've never seen a number this high before, and as mentioned earlier this mirrors a variety of other indicators that show that we are living in mightily inflated times. These prices have been driven by federal policy.

Dressing "smart casual" is another way to say dressing stylish casual. Dressing smart casual essentially means dressing in a casual manner that is a bit more fancy by creating a neat, fashionable, and accessorized outfit. Dressing smart casual can sometimes be a challenge, however there are some simple tips you can keep in mind when planning your outfit.
Method 1 of 3:
Creating a Smart Ensemble
1Think about what bottoms to wear. For a smart casual outfit, you must balance flairs of professionalism and fashion.[1] X Research source Consider wearing bottoms that are comfortable but sharp looking; they need to be able to pull through a professional yet casual look. For example, a nice pair of slacks, darker-colored conservative skirts, and even a dark wash pair of jeans can all be appropriate bottoms for a smart casual outfit.[2] X Research source Most times, your bottoms can act as a base from which you create your ensemble outfit.
- Your bottoms can absolutely incorporate a pop of color. You could wear something like a brown or dark green skirt, navy blue slacks, or a dark, indigo wash pair of jeans.
- If you decide to wear a skirt, it must be a business appropriate length (at least to the top of your knees).
- However, keep in mind that if your bottoms include color and are more fashionable, you should try to balance your outfit with a milder, yet chic top.
2Pair your bottoms with an appropriate top. Since smart casual is all about balancing, your top must equalize your outfit. If your bottoms are dressier, your top can be more casual (ruffles, color, accents, prints, etc.). If your bottoms are more casual, dress up your outfit by sporting a sleeker, more professional top.
- A professional top would be a button-down shirt, a dressy blouse, or a collared top.[3] X Research source
- Again, your top can incorporate color, it just has to stabilize out your outfit. If your bottoms are a muted color, opt for a colored shirt.[4] X Research source If your bottoms are the outfit piece adding color, wear a more neutral top.
3Wear a dress. Wearing a dress is a safe choice if you are trying to dress smart casual. A dress immediately elevates the "dressiness" of your outfit, but the print or material of the dress can add a needed casual element. No matter what kind of dress you choose to wear, the hem of the dress should reach at least the top of your knees.[5] X Research source If you have a professional looking dress (conservative length, darker color), you can dress it down by pairing it with casual accessories like a colored scarf or simple, yet stylish jewelry.
- Vice versa, if you have a more casual dress, you can spruce up the look by pairing it with stylish and conservative heels and simple, clean cut jewelry.
- When wearing a dress for a smart casual outfit, choose to keep it simple. When in doubt, you rather your outfit come off as more dressy than casual.[6] X Research source
4Add a blazer. A blazer is a great outfit piece that can add a professional tone to your outfit, but still keep it casual when paired with a softer top.[7] X Research source If you're considering wearing a blazer, make sure it has a fitted cut. This tailored piece can make your outfit look a bit more put together, while your other clothing items channel the more casual side of your ensemble.
- A plain black or navy blue blazer can incorporate a more professional feel, while a colored blazer can add in a pop of color as an accent piece.
"Layered looks, without showing too much skin, are smart casual. Think blazers paired with denim or slacks and a pair of booties or heels."
Erin MicklowWardrobe StylistErin Micklow
Wardrobe Stylist
5Slip on appropriate shoes. For a smart casual outfit, consider finishing your ensemble with a comfortable pair of dress shoes. Heels work great, and close-toed pumps are always a safe choice to complete your look.[8] X Research source Flats can also be an option if you want to go for a more casual look.
- You can make your outfit stand out while maintaining a casual look by having your flats be a main fashion statement. They can be colored or patterned, but it must balance out your outfit of mainly neutral, composed pieces.
- Wedges and some opened toed shoes can also work for a smart casual outfit if you are attending a more casual event. However, if you are dressing for work, stay away from these options.[9] X Research source [10] X Research source
- Avoid wearing sandals with a smart casual outfit; sandals are plain casual.
Method 2 of 3:
Accessorizing Your Outfit
1Wear suitable jewelry. Accessories are often the outfit pieces that can firmly establish the feel of your ensemble. They can dramatically push an outfit toward being more "smart," or more casual. For example, statement necklaces are usually go-to pieces of jewelry that can liven up and dress up a plainer outfit. They can include color and act as an accent to an otherwise muted outfit.
EXPERT TIPKalee Hewlett
- This same principle goes for earrings. You still want your earrings to be simple, but they can add some flair and elevate to your outfit.
- If your outfit is already a bit varied with colors and prints, consider toning down to jewelry to balance your look out.
Image Consultant
Use accessories to express your personal style. Fashion and lifestyle expert Kalee Hewlett says: "Accessories like belts, scarves, shoes, and jewelry can really transform basics. You can use them pops of color or print, and they can add a whole new dimension to your look, depending on what you choose."
2Wear a belt. Accessorizing your outfit with a belt can add a pop of color to your look, function as a statement piece, or add a bit of texture to your outfit. For example, if your outfit consists of mostly matte fabrics, you can wear a patterned or patent belt to make your ensemble a bit more interesting and add a little variety.[11] X Research source Depending on what kind of belt you use, incorporating one into your outfit can make your look more fun and fashionable (if the belt is colored), or more put together and smart (if the belt is more modest).
- Thin belts tend to look really nice with dresses, and wide belts can pair well with longer skirts.[12] X Research source
3Sport a watch. Wearing a watch may bleed over into jewelry territory, but it can be a separate accessory in it's own right. Try to pick a watch that is simple, yet can make a statement. For example, a watch with a slightly bigger face, but a simple band can make a great accessory addition. Or, if your watch is going to have a bit more color in the band, make sure the face of the watch isn't so big and bold.
- Another thing to consider is the material of the watch. Your watch should be some sort of metal (silver, gold, platinum), but the metal color should go with the other metal pieces in your outfit.
- For example, if your shoes and purse have gold detailing, avoid wearing a silver colored watch.
4Carry a purse. A colorful or unique purse can act as a statement piece to a calmer, more conservative outfit. Conversely, a stylish and simple bag can elevate a more casual outfit. Your purse does not have to match your outfit, but if you already have a color piece in your ensemble (top, blazer, shoes, etc.), you might want to keep your purse color on the more reserved side.
- Any purse that you use should be sleek and fashionable, no matter which way your outfit is leaning toward. For example, if you purse if smaller, it could be a bit more playful and flashy when paired with a casual outfit. If your purse is bigger, keep it simple and modest when paired with a more colorful outfit.
5Consider wearing a scarf. A scarf can serve as a simple accessory that can add a little variety to your outfit.[13] X Research source You don't want the scarf to overpower your outfit, but enhance it in a small way. A scarf can always add a bit of color to your outfit, while sometimes lending a more fashionable feel, depending on the print and fabric.
- If your outfit consists of mainly dark colors, consider pairing it with a graphic scarf.
Method 3 of 3:
Incorporating Your Own Style
1Wear your favorite print or color. For business suits, the classic attire can be rather boring. Consider switching up your business look by wearing a blouse that is your favorite print of color. Adding in this variety can keep your outfit looking appropriate and smart, while also letting your personal fashion sense shine through.[14] X Research source
2Soften your look with a sweater. Blazers are a great way to embellish a smart casual outfit, but if you want to go for a softer look, consider wearing a colorful cardigan or wrap sweater.[15] X Research source The color of the cardigan can be a statement color, or it can be an accent color to an otherwise muted-toned outfit.
- If you are always chilly, a turtleneck is also a viable option for a smart casual sweater look.
3Renovate your work basics. In many business settings, pantsuits are a norm. Switch up the norm by updating your normal pantsuits for ones with slimmer silhouettes. Slimmer silhouettes can flatter your figure while staying modest, and you can mix and match your pantsuit combinations.[16] X Research source
4Always wear at least one statement piece. Dressing stylish everyday might be exhausting, but when in doubt (and running low on work appropriate outfits) always wear at least one statement piece.[17] X Research source That means, if your dress is going to be pretty boring for the day, make sure your shoes, or you necklace, or your belt is making a fashion statement.
- Your statement piece could be colorful, or printed, or embellished. This is the easiest way to make sure your outfit is incorporating the "smart" part of smart casual.
Community Q&A
QuestionWhere can I buy smart casual clothes?Community AnswerMany department stores offer a variety of clothing options that can create smart casual outfits. Fashion stores can also have pieces that can create a smart casual outfit, but you will have to use your best judgement. Store employee can always help you shop for specific styles.
QuestionWhat are the perfect shoes for casual?Community AnswerWhite converse and loafers without patterns are good, whatever is clean, comfortable and fits your style is fine.
QuestionCan I wear a sweater with dress jeans and high boots?Community AnswerYes.
QuestionAre blue jeans and a long sleeved blouse considered casual attire?Community AnswerYes, that is a casual outfit.
QuestionIf we wear full sleeves, then it is smart?Community AnswerIf you mean long sleeves, the sleeve length doesn't really make a difference. Long sleeves are fine; other lengths are also fine.
QuestionCan I wear a long dress?Community AnswerYes, a long dress would look very nice.
QuestionIf I have to wear smart casual as a hospitality professional, what should I wear?Community AnswerWear a black or navy skirt or smart trousers and a plain white or light colored blouse or shirt with a collar and low heeled shoes (no sneakers).
QuestionShould I wear makeup when dressing casually?Community AnswerLooks fine either way, and is a question of personal choice, really. Even a few light tones of blusher, lipstick, or gloss add subtle interest and can blend in well with your casual look. Either way, like a belt or necklace accessory, you can use it or lose it. But it works well with casual clothes in strong or light applications and shows a bit of effort. Mix and match your eye shadow with outfit tones, and continue wearing dark liners if you wish.
QuestionCan I wear boyfriend ripped jeans with a chemise on top?Community AnswerYou can wear anything you want, but that choice would not be considered smart casual because of the ripped jeans. A chemise without a sweater or jacket is also too lingerie-like for smart casual.
QuestionAre boots appropriate for a 'smart casual' dress code for an interview?Community AnswerNot usually, but it depends on the boot. A fashionable, dressier boot may work.

About This Article
If you're a female who wants to dress "smart casual," choose an outfit that is stylish but professional. Your bottoms should be comfortable but sharp-looking, like slacks, dark-wash jeans, or a conservative skirt. If your bottoms are dressier, your top can be more casual, but if your bottoms are more relaxed, you should opt for a sleeker, more professional top. You can also choose to wear a dress, provided the hem reaches to at least the top of your knees. For tips on picking shoes and other accessories, keep reading!

With around two months of regular season left, Kyle predicts the teams that will end up fighting for the World Series come October.
Photo: lineupforms.com
American League
East: Toronto Blue Jays
With their great acquisitions at the trade deadline (Tulowitzki and Price), I like the Blue Jays to win the AL East. Before these deals, I had them missing the playoffs, but they were clearly the biggest winner at the deadline, grabbing the ace in Price and a great shortstop in Tulo. I feel like these additions will propel this team past the O's and Yanks into the playoffs.
Central: KC Royals
This is pretty clear cut. After last year's disappointing end to an otherwise satisfying season, the Kansas City Royals are coming out on top of this division. They have a great team, and their record (second-best in the league) accounts for it. Their battery of starting and relief pitchers as well as talented position players (not to mention a loving fanbase) mixes together to spell good things for this KC group.
West: Houston Astros
The new acquisition of Scott Kazmir from the A's, I feel, is a big addition. He's great arm with a veteran presence that will add a lot to the Astros club. Their move solidifies their rotation and with continued strong offense, I think they make it to the playoffs and make a legitimate push for the franchise's first World Series championship.
Wild Cards: LA Angels and Baltimore Orioles
My prediction of the Astros coming out of the AL West leaves one of the two Wild Card spots to the LA Angels. With the offensive firepower led by Pujols and Trout and a well-seasoned rotation, they still have a good shot of finishing the year with a World Series victory.
My other prediction comes from the AL East. The O's recently picked up Gerardo Parra, a .328/.369/.517 hitter, who adds a great bat and a killer defensive presence to their outfield battery. His bat, along with Jones, Machado, and Davis, and a good veteran rotation spells good things for birds.
National League
East: Washington Nationals
I'm a little biased on this because I've always really liked Bryce Harper, so I want to see the Nationals do well. But they've also got a great offense, headlined by Harper, and possibly the strongest rotation in the MLB with Scherzer leading the charge in that regard. Though the Mets are stacked with young arms (and Bartolo), I believe their lack of offense won't allow them to overtake the Nats this year.
Central: St. Louis Cardinals
Easy choice here. 29 more wins than loses, with best record in the Major League, the St. Louis Cardinals are my pick to win the NL Central. They have a run differential of +108, are above .500 both on the road and at home, and are sitting 5.5 games ahead in their division. This is not due to a weak division, but speaks to the Cards strength as team.
West: LA Dodgers
I'm predicting the Dodgers to edge out the Giants to win this division. With a rotation containing two of the top tier arms in the league and the positional talent of Puig, Pederson, and Gonzalez, they're definitely a playoff-bound team with a chance for the franchise's first championship since '88.
Wild Cards: Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants
My first Wild Card spot goes to the Pittsburgh Pirates, who could win any NL division...except this one. They're currently 59-42, 5.5 behind the Cardinals and six games ahead of the Cubs for a Wild Card spot. The Bucs are a team with an above-average rotation, great chemistry, and with the recent addition of Aramis Ramirez, a solid lineup both offensively and defensively. They're definitely a contender, and their fans could use a World Series championship for the first time since 1979.
I'm predicting the San Francisco Giants secure this second Wild Card spot. This is a team with a winning pedigree, and they've shown it by winning three of the last five World Series. Plus they have most of their core still in tact. Another team with a strong rotation, the Giants are led by Iron Man Madison Bumgarner, who anchors a rotation seasoned with veteran competitors like Tim Hudson and Jake Peavy. They also have a great lineup lead by Posey, Belt, and Pence. It's hard to bet against this veteran team, so thats why I elected to stay away from the younger Cubs for this spot.

Drive nonprofit membership growth can be done in a variety of ways – both on and off line. For our client CreakyJoints, we focused on the fact they are the "hippest" online community for people with all forms of arthritis and autoimmune disease.
In order to provide their audience with support and resources, CreakyJoints focuses on growing its online community of members. Our goal at Media Cause is to help CreakyJoints grow their membership as cost-effectively as possible. One tactic, in addition to community building, email marketing, and Google Ad Grants, is using Facebook ads to drive fans to optimized landing pages.
Conversion rate on new optimized landing pages
Increase in conversion rate over old landing pages
Visitors registered as members
For our organization, Media Cause is a trusted partner whose commitment, dedication and value is seen by every member of the team.
David Curtis, VP of Technology at Global Healthy Living Foundation, CreakyJoints
After Landing Page Optimization
Media Cause researched landing page best-practices and user onboarding techniques to customize a set of recommendations for CreakyJoints' membership registration landing page. In this optimized version, we recommended three key optimizations:
1. The form lives on the landing page itself and above the fold, instead of in a pop-up.
2. Membership benefits are clearly detailed.
3. Language reflects what we already know resonates with the CreakyJoints Facebook community.
We then duplicated our Facebook ads and switched the destination URL to our new optimized landing page. The results were unprecedented at CreakyJoints.
Originally, our Facebook ads drove CreakyJoints' Facebook fans to this landing page with a 8.29% conversion rate.
Now, our Facebook ads now had a conversion rate of 21.27%. Out of 1,000 visits to the website, 210 visitors registered to become a CreakyJoints member — significantly higher than the original landing page and global benchmarks of 8.08%.
The most exciting news is that we haven't A/B tested new versions of Facebook ads yet, so there is great potential to increase the conversion rate from 21.27%. A higher conversion rate ultimately means more conversions at a lower cost.

About the Pub
Small, spartanly-furnished room including bar at the front. Bare-boarded with just one table, and a few high stools on which to perch yourself by the wall or the front windows. A multi-tier bookcase displays an array of bottles and cans for sale. Ascending three steps leads you to two rooms in succession which have a good deal more places to sit at tables; these rooms exude a warmer, more homely feel than the front of the pub. Small beer garden at the rear that plays host to street-food traders selling their hot food on 5-9 Fri-Sat. Two handpumps are prominent on the bar, plus ten keg taps on the wall (they variously feature IPAs, stouts, reds, and a sour / saison). They always have pies, and Scotch eggs / veggie-Scotch eggs. History: new bar and off-licence opened 7/2/18 in former shop premises, by local enthusiasts Amanda Finch, and Chris Buxton.

French Open
French Open Tennis Championships
French Open ▸ Facts ▸ Comments ▸ News ▸ Videos
The French Open, also called Roland-Garros, is a major tennis tournament held over two weeks at the Stade Roland-Garros in Paris, France, beginning in late May. The venue is named after the French aviator Roland Garros. It is the premier clay court tennis championship tournament in the world and the second of the four annual Grand Slam tournaments, the other three being the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. The French Open is currently the only Grand Slam tournament held on clay, and it is the conclusion of the spring clay court season. Before the Australian Open and the US Open were converted into hardcourt, the French Open was the lone non-grass tournament. Between the seven rounds needed for a championship, the slow-playing surface and the best-of-five-set men's singles matches, the event is widely considered to be the most physically demanding tennis tournament in the world.

Morning Boat-ride
Boat-ride is one of the most essential activities to do in Varanasi. Boating in the morning starts with arti-ceremony or worshiping of Ganga, then 'subah-i-Banaras' which is live classical music programme at Asi-ghat every morning. It is followed by a Yoga-class which is free for everyone. During boat-ride you feel the beauty & serenity of this divine river, bathing people, enchanting of mantras, tiny lamps floating on water, yoga on steps, joyous children, meditating people & sadhus..all these make an amazing atmosphere. Also you see those famous ghats & bamboo parasols, which are like signature of the scenic banks of Ganga in Varanasi. Early mornings are so beautiful & mesmerizing that is incomparable from anywhere in the world.
