Ansel Adams (20 Feb. 1902-22 Apr. 1984), photographer and environmentalist, was born in San Francisco, California, the son of Charles Hitchcock Adams, a businessman, and Olive Bray. An only child, Adams was born when his mother was nearly forty. His relatively elderly parents, affluent family history, and the live-in presence of his mother's maiden sister and aged father all combined to create an environment that was decidedly Victorian and both socially and emotionally conservative. Adams's mother spent much of her time brooding and fretting over her husband's inability to restore the Adams fortune, leaving an ambivalent imprint on her son. Charles Adams, on the other hand, deeply and patiently influenced, encouraged, and supported his son. Natural shyness and a certain intensity of genius, coupled with the dramatically "earthquaked" nose, caused Adams to have problems fitting in at school. In later life he noted that he might have been diagnosed as hyperactive. There is also the distinct possibility that he may have suffered from dyslexia. He was not successful in the various schools to which his parents sent him; consequently, his father and aunt tutored him at home. Ultimately, he managed to earn what he termed a "legitimizing diploma" from the Mrs. Kate M. Wilkins Private School--perhaps equivalent to having completed the eighth grade. The most important result of Adams's somewhat solitary and unmistakably different childhood was the joy that he found in nature, as evidenced by his taking long walks in the still-wild reaches of the Golden Gate. Nearly every day found him hiking the dunes or meandering along Lobos Creek, down to Baker Beach, or out to the very edge of the American continent. When Adams was twelve he taught himself to play the piano and read music. Soon he was taking lessons, and the ardent pursuit of music became his substitute for formal schooling. For the next dozen years the piano was Adams's primary occupation and, by 1920, his intended profession. Although he ultimately gave up music for photography, the piano brought substance, discipline, and structure to his frustrating and erratic youth. Moreover, the careful training and exacting craft required of a musician profoundly informed his visual artistry, as well as his influential writings and teachings on photography. If Adams's love of nature was nurtured on the Golden Gate, his life was, in his words, "colored and modulated by the great earth gesture" of the Yosemite Sierra (Adams, Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada, p. xiv). He spent substantial time there every year from 1916 until his death. From his first visit, Adams was transfixed and transformed. He began using the Kodak No. 1 Box Brownie his parents had given him. He hiked, climbed, and explored, gaining self-esteem and self-confidence. In 1919 he joined the Sierra Club and spent the first of four summers in Yosemite Valley, as "keeper" of the club's LeConte Memorial Lodge. He became friends with many of the club's leaders, who were founders of America's nascent conservation movement. He met his wife, Virginia Best, in Yosemite; they were married in 1928. The couple had two children. Nineteen twenty-seven was the pivotal year of Adams's life. He made his first fully visualized photograph, Monolith, the Face of Half Dome, and took his first High Trip. More important, he came under the influence of Albert M. Bender, a San Francisco insurance magnate and patron of arts and artists. Literally the day after they met, Bender set in motion the preparation and publication of Adams's first portfolio, Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras [sic]. Bender's friendship, encouragement, and tactful financial support changed Adams's life dramatically. His creative energies and abilities as a photographer blossomed, and he began to have the confidence and wherewithal to pursue his dreams. Indeed, Bender's benign patronage triggered the transformation of a journeyman concert pianist into the artist whose photographs, as critic Abigail Foerstner wrote in the Chicago Tribune (3 Dec. 1992), "did for the national parks something comparable to what Homer's epics did for Odysseus." Adams's technical mastery was the stuff of legend. More than any creative photographer, before or since, he reveled in the theory and practice of the medium. Weston and Strand frequently consulted him for technical advice. He served as principal photographic consultant to Polaroid and Hasselblad and, informally, to many other photographic concerns. Adams developed the famous and highly complex "zone system" of controlling and relating exposure and development, enabling photographers to creatively visualize an image and then produce a photograph that matched and expressed that visualization. He produced ten volumes of technical manuals on photography, which are the most influential books ever written on the subject. Seen in a more traditional art history context, Adams was the last and defining figure in the romantic tradition of nineteenth-century American landscape painting and photography. Adams always claimed that he was not "influenced," but, consciously or unconsciously, he was firmly in the tradition of Thomas Cole, Frederic Church, Albert Bierstadt, Carleton Watkins, and Eadweard Muybridge. And he was the direct philosophical heir of the American Transcendentalists Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and John Muir. He grew up in a time and place where his zeitgeist was formed by the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt and "muscular" Americanism, by the pervading sense of manifest destiny, and the notion that European civilization was being reinvented--much for the better--in the new nation and, particularly, in the new West. Adams died in Monterey, California. Ansel Adams - American National Biography Online http://www.anb.org (Retrieved Feb. 27, 2009)
Weston, Brett (16 Dec. 1911-22 Jan. 1993), photographer, was born Theodore Brett Weston in Los Angeles, California, the son of Edward Weston, a photographer, and Flora May Chandler. Edward Weston, who earned an international reputation for his soft-focus, pictorial-style portraits, made a bold move in the early 1920s by abandoning this technique. He ventured to Mexico in 1923 with his eldest son, Edward Chandler Weston, and experimented with subtle changes in his method of photographing nudes, still lifes, and natural forms. He returned to the United States at the end of 1924 but soon left again for Mexico, this time taking Brett with him. On this trip, which lasted several months from 1925 into 1926, Edward Weston further changed his style and began using the camera to produce sharper images. This change in his father's style affected Brett Weston's future as a photographer, for it was during this time in Mexico that he first became passionate about the craft and began taking pictures himself. He was still a boy, just thirteen years old, but he was afforded the use of his father's Graflex, a precision camera that cost $135. Edward Weston became mentor to his son, whose formal education ended after the sixth grade. In 1932 Weston was given his first major solo exhibition by the M. H. De Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco. Later that same year Group f/64, an informal art society founded by Ansel Adams and Willard Van Dyke and influenced by Edward Weston, asked him to contribute to their exhibition at the same museum. The group, named after the aperture setting on a camera lens that secures the greatest sharpness in the image, was comprised of photographers wanting to promote "straight" photography and protest against academic pictorialism. They also wanted recognition for West Coast photography similar to that achieved by Alfred Stieglitz in New York. In the 1980s Weston divided his time between Carmel and a home in Hawaii. His body of work continued to accumulate, and his last major project involved photographing the landscape and flora of the Hawaiian Islands. On his eightieth birthday Weston burned all but twelve of his negatives, much to the dismay of the photographic community. He strongly believed that the printing process was as important a part of the creative act as the subject matter, and therefore no one else would be capable of making the kind of print needed to express his vision fully. Weston died in Kona, Hawaii. Brett Weston - American National Biography Online http://www.anb.org (Retrieved Feb. 17, 2009)
Born in Boston in 1932, Paul Caponigro is renowned as one of America's most significant master photographers. When he was thirteen, he began to explore the world around him with his camera and subsequently sustained a career spanning nearly fifty years. He is currently regarded as one of America's foremost landscape photographers. Acclaimed for his spiritually moving images of Stonehenge and other Celtic megaliths of England and Ireland, Caponigro has more recently photographed the temples, shrines and sacred gardens of Japan. Caponigro also inspires viewers with glimpses of deep, mystical woodland of his New England haunts.

Manuel Carrillo was born in Mexico City in 1906 and his destiny as interpreter of his own people would not be revealed until almost half a century later. At the age of 16, in 1922, Carrillo left Mexico for New York where he pursued several odd jobs before becoming an Arthur Murray waltz and tango champion. During this period in New York, he settled down to work for the Wall Street firm of Neuss Hesslein and Co., but in 1930 he returned to his beloved Mexico. There he began working for one of the pioneers of the Mexican tourist industry Albert L. Bravo. Carrillo later abandoned that position to become the general agent for the Illinois Central Railroad's office in Mexico City, where he stayed for thirty-six years, until his retirement. At the age of 49, he joined the Club Fotografico de Mexico and the Photographic Society of America. His first international exhibition, titled, "Mi Pueblo" ("My People"), was held in 1960 at the Chicago Public Library and depicted daily life in rural Mexico. Since 1975, Carrillo's work has been seen in 209 individual exhibitions and 27 groups exhibits in Mexico, the United States, and around the world. In 1980, the Photographic Society of America named Carrillo an honorary citizen of El Paso, TX where his photographic archive is held in the El Paso Public Library. His work has been published in a variety of photographic anthologies and journals. Carrillo died in Mexico City in 1989 at the age of 83.

For the past fifty years, Barbara Crane worked as a photographer, creating highly formal, often abstracted images of people and the urban landscape. For Human Form, from the series Human Forms, Crane, at the time a recently divorced single mother, paid her children thirty-five cents an hour to pose for her, on their condition that their faces were not recognizable. Because of the limitations this condition placed on her photographs, Crane began to abstract the images of their bodies, playing with line, shadow, and light, to create the series' elegant forms. In Pigeons, Whole Roll, Crane explores the patterns that emerge from the seemingly innocuous events of life, taking her "mistakes," as well as chance occurrences, and molding them into a complex study of the subject matter (in this case, the pigeons). To photograph this series, she lay on her back in Chicago's Grant Park as her assistant poured pigeon feed all around her, waited for the pigeons to land, and then ran back to scatter them. Crane then cut out the individual negatives, arranged them without looking at them, and contact-printed them. In People of the North Portal (1970-71), Crane photographed people exiting Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, recording a wide variety of expressions and reactions. Some full-body shots, others focusing simply on the faces of her subjects, the photographs beautifully depict a large spectrum of human experience. With an extremely broad range of subject matter behind her, Crane focuses mostly on nature in these photographs, as in the series From Coloma to Convert. Crane, who studied at Mills College in California, completed her BA in art history at New York University and later received her MS from the Institute of Design (at the Illinois Institute of Technology). She taught for 28 years at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship in Photography grant, two National Endowment for the Arts grants, and an Illinois Arts Council Fellowship Award in Photography, Crane has participated in 170 group exhibitions and mounted 75 solo exhibitions; her work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art; Art Institute of Chicago; and Museum of Contemporary Photography.

Born in Chicago in 1935, Joseph Jachna received a scholarship to attend the Institute of Design in 1953, but left after one year to work at the local Eastman Kodak lab. He returned to the school in 1955, where he studied with Harry Callahan, Aaron Siskind, and Frederick Sommer, and earned a bachelor's degree in art education in 1958. Deciding to focus on photography, Jachna worked for three years on his thesis, an in-depth photography study of water. These water photographs would become the cornerstone of Jachna's photographic oeuvre. Artists' fascination with water can be traced as far back as the Renaissance, when Leonardo da Vinci created exploratory sketches of water in motion. Jachna's interest in water as a photographic subject recalls the captivating seascapes of nineteenth century photographer Gustave le Gray. Still today, contemporary photographers, such as Hiroshi Sugimoto, endeavor to communicate water's mesmerizing powers. As Keith Davis, Hallmark Cards Inc.'s Fine Art Programs Director writes.... "Jachna's meditative pictures of the surfaces of lakes and streams are at once technically 'straight' and highly abstract. They are moody and dark, with the 'objective' world reduced to shimmering, spectral reflections." Unlike his teacher Aaron Siskind, who is more closely allied with the abstract expressionists such as Franz Kline, Jachna's work is based more on the meditative forces of the principles of Zen: "I have long been concerned with the line which divides things-where water reaches up to the earth, against rock or against snow. Some pictures are 'about' the line which divides light and shadow..." Joseph Jachna Following his thesis at the ID, Jachna continued to photograph nature, most notably, his Door County Day and Night series. In several Door County Day photographs Jachna has included in the frame his outstretched arm or hand, holding a small mirror or prism. These images bring to mind a series created concurrently by Kenneth Josephson, in which he juxtaposed a hand-held postcard against his subject. In Jachna's images, the artist has cleverly called the viewer's attention to the presence of both the photographer and the camera. Technically, the mirror is an essential component of the camera body's apparatus; symbolically, the mirror is an emblem of reflection. Jachna's decision to include a fragment of himself within the landscape he photographs offers the viewer a discernable link between photographer and subject, between man and nature. Additionally, the camera's lens warps Jachna's limbs in an disconcerting way that bring to mind the distorted nudes of Bill Brandt and Andre Kertesz. Jachna received his M.S. in 1961, the same year that Aperture showcased his photographs in a special issue of five ID graduate students (each selected by Aaron Siskind). After Callahan's departure in 1961, Jachna taught alongside Siskind until 1969, when he joined the faculty of the University. He taught photography there until his retirement in 2001. Jachna's first of several solo exhibitions was held in 1980 and in the years following his photographs have been included in group exhibitions at numerous major museums. Jachna's work is featured in the permanent collection of over forty institutions, including MOMA, the Smithsonian, SFMOMA, and National Museum of Art, Kyoto, Japan. He has received numerous awards and fellowships, including the prestigious Guggenheim fellowship (1980) and the photographer's fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts (1976).

Kenneth Josephson was born on July 1, 1932 in Detroit, Michigan. He began making pictures with the family's snapshot camera in 1944, and bought his own 4x5 view camera two years later. He earned a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology (1957) where he studied under Minor White. In 1953 the army sent him to Germany where he was trained in photolithography and made prints of aerial reconnaissance. With the thesis "An Exploration of the Multiple Image," he earned an MS from the Institute of Design of the Illinois Institue of Technology, Chicago (1960) where he was strongly influenced by Harry Callahan. Josephson was a professor at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1960 to 1997, and a founding member of the Society for Photographic Education. He is the recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship (1972) and two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships (1975 and 1979). His work is in the collections of institutions including the Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Art Instiute and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; BiblioteÌ�que National, Paris; and Foograficka Maseet, Stockhom.

What are the other name of black soil?
black soils known locally as regur.
After those the alluvial soil is the third most-common type..
Where is black soil found?
Black soils are derivatives of trap lava and are spread mostly across interior Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh on the Deccan lava plateau and the Malwa Plateau, where there is both moderate rainfall and underlying basaltic rock.
Is black soil fertile?
Black soils of smectite nature are considered more fertile than any other soils , simply because of the finer texture. Nutrient- as well as water- use- efficiency are much higher.
Why is black soil important?
Black soils constitute the food basket for many countries and for the world in general and are often recognized as inherently productive and fertile soils. They are extensively and intensively farmed, and increasingly dedicated to cereal production, pasture, range and forage systems.
Is black soil good for vegetables?
Black Earth is rich in nutrients. It improves poor and sandy soils, while enhancing water and nutrient retention. The mix contains black earth (hummus), compost manure and lime. Enrich with a good compost and use in your flowerbeds and vegetable garden.
How can we make poor soil fertile?
You can increase the amount of organic matter in your soil by adding compost, aged animal manures, green manures (cover crops), mulches or peat moss. Because most soil life and plant roots are located in the top 6 inches of soil, concentrate on this upper layer.
What are the three characteristics of black soil?
1 Answerclayey texture and are highly fertile.the structure of these soils is cloddish or occasionally friable.rich in calcium carbonate, magnesium, potash, and lime. … highly retentive of moisture, extremely compact and tenacious. … contractible and develops deep wide cracks on drying.More items…•
Is black soil acidic or alkaline?
The soil is rich in clay (montmorillonite) particles and has neutral to slightly alkaline reaction. The soil is rich in bases, lime and calcium. The pH of black soil is 7.2 – 8.5. The soil is deficient in nitrogen, phosphate and organic matter but rich in potash, calcium and magnesium.
Why is Regur or black soil fertile?
The black soils are also called as regur are fertile because they are highly moisture retentive, more clay content,which responds well to irrigation. The black soils are argillaceous contains many essential nutrients along with some content of humus as well.
Which crop is suitable for black soil?
Some of the major crops grown on the black soils are cotton, wheat, jowar, linseed, Virginia tobacco, castor, sunflower and millets. Rice and sugarcane are equally important where irrigation facilities are available. Large varieties of vegetables and fruits are also successfully grown on the black soils.
How can I make black soil at home?
Add Organic MatterAdd manures for nitrogen. All livestock manures can be valuable additions to soil — their nutrients are readily available to soil organisms and plants. … Try composting. … Tap chicken power to mix organic materials into the soil. … “Mine” soil nutrients with deep rooted plants. … Plant cover crops.
What are the disadvantages of black soil?
Besides advantages of black soil, there are some disadvantages or problems of black soil. Those are listed below. Cracking when dry and swelling when wet makes them difficult to manage, unless they are cultivated at appropriate soil moisture levels. This makes black soil difficult to manage.
What does Black Soil mean?
Black soils are mineral soils which have a black surface horizon, enriched with organic carbon that is at least 25 cm deep. … A base saturation in the black surface horizons ≥50%.

Brandi Yang. Drawing. December 06th , 2018.
The duration of the faces of the triangle will rely on the form of the major body. The size of the 2 circles will vary whether the front and rear wheels are of distinct sizes. As you concentrate on drawing a neighborhood shape, always take note of the total shape you’re drawing. Once you have learnt how to draw the outline, the following thing ought to be to learn to draw the different parts of the vehicle. Make certain you can easily draw form and figures, and you’re extremely confident about that.
The primary difference is the positioning of the limbs and the job of the torso. Mainly, if you’re a very good anime drawer you should have no issue with the chibi folks. Peace out and be certain you explore all the possibilities! You’ll get a better comprehension of the step-by-step procedure, and it’ll be easier that you progress from begin to finish. The steps are a breeze to follow and the explanations easy and concise. Outlines are only the onset of the story we have to bring some detail. Pure black text is a bit jarring.
The same as with any other drawing people are composed of an easy arrangement of shapes. Very lightly draw only the bottom part of the leaf edge outline. Draw a letter U’ shape at the base of each W’ shape to create a tulip form. Yes, absolutely free hand drawing of an ideal star. If you wish to move beyond characters, nature is a favourite topic of ink drawers. Drawing simple characters is a great method to learn the fundamentals and secrets of drawing. Drawing your favourite characters is exciting.
Continue until you accomplish a smooth appearance. When it is tilted or uneven it will make the entire painting appear skewed. You could have some idea what a human body appears like but in practical world there are hundreds and hundreds of variations of the fundamental form. If the point is to receive a realistic picture, obtain a reference image or a true fruit for the goal. No matter the reason you’d like to learn how to draw a rose step by step the first you will need to do is get a notion in your head what you need to accomplish in the drawing.
You’re sure to discover the perfect drawing undertaking, whatever your skill level. Leave the squirrel mouth until the conclusion of the example, permitting you to capture the entire imageand during the time that you are in the practice of painting, think of the various ways you may fix the previous issue. Drawing dinosaurs isn’t difficult if you know some basic measures. Be certain that the lines begin to come down. Be aware that in the very first step all the lines ought to be smooth and light.
Drawing a vase is quite ordinary. As soon as you become deft at drawing flowers you may want to combine them with something different. An excellent stamp can truly make a sheet of mail. Following that, you also need to choose softer drawing pencil and excellent eraser. Leading tip 3 will aid with that. There are plenty of suggestions which will force you to draw easier. Conclusion You don’t really have to be a master in drawing in order to draw the very best possible portraits.

New changes are coming: CBSA provided information regarding CUSMA, de minimis, and CLVS.
Under Article 7.8 of the CUSMA, the de minimis threshold for goods shipped to Canada has been raised to $40. Between $40 and $150, only tax will be collected. After $150, duty and tax apply. Regulatory amendments to the Courier Imports Remission Order and the Excise Tax Act will be made to accommodate these changes.
Article 7.8 also states that “there shall be fewer customs formalities”, or a streamlined process, for the release of goods valued at less than $3,300. Under the Courier Low Value Shipment program this amount is $2,500 and, once CUSMA is in place, the amount of $3,300 will apply to all goods, not just those shipped by courier.
Article 7.8 to mean that:
The de minimis applies to courier shipments only;
The de minimis applies to goods that are shipped from Mexico and the US only; and
For de minimis to apply, goods do not have to originate in Mexico or the US (but must have entered into the commerce of the US; transhipped goods don’t count).
Goods with a value under $1000 will not require a declaration of origin. For originating goods over that amount, the certification process will be less formal than that under the NAFTA and will be more in line with new trade agreements where a declaration can be noted on a invoice, with no need for a formal certificate.
The above will be implemented once CUSMA is in place.
CBSA will extend the de minimis amounts under the CUSMA to all shipments. This means that, as indicated in D8-2-16, it applies to all common commercial carriers, regardless of mode of transport, including freight forwarders and deconsolidators. It is not limited to couriers.
However, should the CUSMA not come into force, the de minimis threshold will remain at its current level for all shipments.
The CVLS program as we know it will end. In its place, there will be a program that is not limited to couriers and will allow goods valued at $3300 to be released with just a manifest. No details or time frame for this new program was provided, including the accounting process for these goods, but it is hoped that it will be implemented at the same time as the CUSMA.


The Kansas City Chiefs can clinch a playoff spot this weekend simply by beating the Titans. That’s the easiest way but there are other ways too.
How the Chiefs can clinch:
- Chiefs win
- Chiefs tie + Miami loss
- Chiefs tie + Denver loss or tie
- Denver loss + Baltimore loss or tie
- Denver loss + Pittsburgh loss or tie
So the Chiefs don't even have to win to clinch this weekend. The Chiefs bigger goal is an AFC West title and a first round bye. They're still on track to do that as long as they don't screw up before Oakland does. Any divisional ties the Chiefs are looking good with tiebreakers. It seems pretty unlikely the Chiefs would be able to overtake New England for the top AFC seed but we will see. That's why they play the games.
The Patriots can clinch a division title and first round bye this weekend while the Raiders can clinch a playoff berth.
Here are all the clinching scenarios from the NFL:

Hypopyon seen as yellowish exudate in lower part of anterior chamber of eye
|Classification and external resources|
Hypopyon is inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber of the eye.
It is a leukocytic exudate, seen in the anterior chamber, usually accompanied by redness of the conjunctiva and the underlying episclera. It is a sign of inflammation of the anterior uvea and iris, i.e. iritis, which is a form of anterior uveitis. The exudate settles at the dependent aspect of the eye due to gravity.
Hypopyon can also be present in a corneal ulcer, particularly of fungal etiology like Aspergillus and Fusarium sp., Behcet's disease, endophthalmitis, and panuveitis/panophthalmitis. Hypopyon is also known as sterile pus, as it occurs due to the release of toxins and not by the actual invasion of pathogens. The toxins secreted by the pathogens mediate the outpouring of leukocytes that settle down in the anterior chamber of the eye. Hypopyon is the only pus in the body that does not require any specific treatment as treatment of the underlying cause results in its resolution. An inverse hypopyon needs to be differentiated from a standard hypopyon. Inverse hypopyon is seen sometimes after a pars plana vitrectomy with insertion of silicon oil (as a replacement of the vitreous humour that has been removed in the operation; the silicon oil maintains internal tamponade). When the silicon oil emulsifies, it seeps into the anterior chamber and settles at the top of the anterior chamber. Compare from the hypopyon resulting due to the toxins where the leukocytes settle at the bottom of the anterior chamber. This is due to the effect of gravity, hence the name inverse hypopyon.

Intersectional differences in the income returns to education
MetadataShow full item record
The aim of this study was to test whether there are intersectional differences in the effect of education on income in the Netherlands. In this study we looked at the intersection of gender and migration background. Drawing from Human Capital Theory and Screening theory, theories on discrimination, and Intersectionality theory, we formulated hypotheses on how the income returns to education in income differ between different intersectional groups. By performing a multilevel analysis on data retrieved from the LISSpanel, we showed that there are no intersectional differences in the effect of education on income between the intersectional groups. We did find that women have a lower hourly wage compared to men regardless of their education level, occupational status and age. An ethnic difference in income was not found.

First baseman Brandon Snyder and left-hander Troy Patton have joined the Orioles in Boston, and though neither has been officially activated yet, the team is likely to make room for both before the game.
Lee suffered a strained oblique during Monday’s game against the Red Sox. It’s awful timing for him, as he seemed to be warming up in the plate. He doubled in one of his two at-bats Monday, extended his hitting streak to six games and giving him four RBI in the last three games.
Izturis is reportedly dealing with numbness in his right hand that he’s gotten occasionally since having Tommy John surgery in Sept. 2005.
Snyder would likely share time at first base with Luke Scott while Lee is out. The former first-round pick was hitting .276/.342/.455 with five homers in 134 at-bats for Triple-A Norfolk. Most of his production came against left-handers, so the Orioles may want to use him in a strict platoon.
Patton, being used primarily as a reliever for the first time, had a 2.60 ERA in 17 1/3 innings for Norfolk. Although he’s a lefty, left-handers were hitting .286 against him, whereas righties were at .208.

Mental Health in Media: Creating a New Social Paradigm.
By: Shubhankar Roy
Discussing Mental Health in Media Can Change Lives
Mental health is an important part of our lives and is detrimental to growth and development.
Fortunately, people have started to pay more attention to their mental health well-being and individual identity.
On an individual level, people have started to give more cognizance to their thought and emotions, and we now work to improve our peace of mind at our own capacity.
Subsequently, discussing mental health in media openly may lead to apprehensive minds opening up about their struggles and acknowledging their weak spots.
Moreover, psychoeducating the general mass through a large outlet will help change the vox populi of our society – that still is unable to acknowledge the importance of mental health and freedom from chronic stress.
Why Mental Health Should Be Discussed.
In society, “stress” and “anxiety” are viewed as daily tonics one must accept to endure the struggles of life. The toxic “Hustle Culture” has poisoned the very notion of a work-life balance and peace of mind.
As of this moment, I believe it is paramount to discuss the importance of mental health in media and help advocate proper health care advice through the right channels.
Financial Success, optimum performance at work, and efficient problem-solving are qualities that one can master only if one is attuned with himself.
Suppressing anxiety, pain, depression, and other chronic mental health illnesses will not make them go away. On the contrary, they will only fester the already hurting wounds that we carry.
Creating a New Social Paradigm
Our society needs individuals willing to fight the taboo and discuss their struggles, shortcomings, and hardships openly – backed by professional guidance and counsellors who are willing to oversee the content that is widely being discussed.
We at Youth Aspiring are seeking out warriors willing to share their stories and how they tackled the obstacles life threw at them.
Changes can only be made if we join hands and actively work to make the world a better place by uniting and forming a chain of bravehearts who have a penchant for growth.

Report on Ruapehu (New Zealand) — October 1997
Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network, vol. 22, no. 10 (October 1997)
Managing Editor: Richard Wunderman.
Ruapehu (New Zealand) Seismic and volcanic activity decline in late October
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 1997. Report on Ruapehu (New Zealand) (Wunderman, R., ed.). Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network, 22:10. Smithsonian Institution. https://doi.org/10.5479/si.GVP.BGVN199710-241100
39.28°S, 175.57°E; summit elev. 2797 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
The increased seismic and volcanic activity that began on 2 October (BGVN 22:09) had returned to low levels early on 14 October after sporadic small eruptions of mud and rocks on the 12th. Activity continued to decline during the second half of the month. By 31 October the volcanic alert status had been reduced from Level 2 (minor eruptive activity) to Level 1 (signs of volcano unrest) with volcanic tremor remaining above typical background level. The last small eruption, accompanied by a volcanic earthquake, occurred at 2120 on 18 October. There was no geysering or big disturbances on the crater lake surface during the last week of October. The lake temperature in late October was 52-55°C and the water color was light gray. Scientists observed small radial wave patterns on the surface, indicating fluctuating water levels. The N portion of the crater floor was dry and a prominent area of gas and steam vents (fumaroles) had developed in the NW part.
Geological Summary. Ruapehu, one of New Zealand's most active volcanoes, is a complex stratovolcano constructed during at least four cone-building episodes dating back to about 200,000 years ago. The dominantly andesitic 110 km3 volcanic massif is elongated in a NNE-SSW direction and surrounded by another 100 km3 ring plain of volcaniclastic debris, including the NW-flank Murimoto debris-avalanche deposit. A series of subplinian eruptions took place between about 22,600 and 10,000 years ago, but pyroclastic flows have been infrequent. The broad summait area and flank contain at least six vents active during the Holocene. Frequent mild-to-moderate explosive eruptions have been recorded from the Te Wai a-Moe (Crater Lake) vent, and tephra characteristics suggest that the crater lake may have formed as recently as 3,000 years ago. Lahars resulting from phreatic eruptions at the summit crater lake are a hazard to a ski area on the upper flanks and lower river valleys.

The Museum of El-Salam School at Assiut governorate includes among it finds a fusiform pottery jar carrying number 368/126. The jar is missing rim which is worn-out. The shape’s dimensions are: the height is 9.3cm, the base diameter 1.2cm and the maximum body diameter 2.2cm. The fusiform pottery shape made from marl clay fabric and shaped by wheel. The exterior surface is self-slipped, and the interior surface is untreated. The exterior surface has zones of colors; light red (2.5 YR 6/8) and pale yellow (2.5 Y 8/3) (Figure 1).
The fusiform pottery shape belongs to the Unguentarium type of pottery which indicates to a small tall jar made of pottery or glass. The shape found in numerous Hellenistic and Roman cemeteries as well as settlements . The first appearance of the Unguentarium dates back to the late 4th c. BC and the beginning of the 3rd c. BC in Cyprus, later the shape spread and become common all around the Mediterranean . The Unguntarium produced in two shapes; the fusiform and the bulbous or piriform forms. The fusiform shape found in many of the Hellenistic sites with tall cylindrical neck, oval body and a ring tall solid base .
Its appearance was in Cyprus in the late 4th and the beginning of the 3rd c. BC . The fusiform Unguntarium was in used for a long time, where it was observed over time the trend to minimize the capacity of the shape by making them thinner, lower and a tall solid shank .
The bulbous or piriform Unguntarium has a tall neck and rounded body without shank . Its appearance is not precisely Known despite it was common in the late 1st c. AD. Most of what discovered from this shape found in cemeteries dates back to the second half of the 1st c. AD . The shape used for a limited time about one hundred year which was in used parallel to the foci form shape and didn’t replace it. During the 2nd and 3rd c. AD the shape of the bulbous Unguntarium developed to be similar to the bell shape . In the Greek Agora the Unguentarium categorized as aromatic oil jar used in washing and personal cleanliness.
The majority of what found there intended for the daily life uses . The Unguentarium classified as one of the perfume vessels. The carefully made shape and the dense fabric used for that type indicate that the content was used in small amounts, likely perfumed oil .
The fusiform unguentaria are found on Hellenistic sites around the Mediterranean in both domestic and funerary contexts . The unguntaria from FKTE site represent the local copy of the imported shapes. At Alexandria, unguntaria were produced in Nile clay fabric . The unguntaria of the Saqqara Anubieion were produced in a small number of marl clay and in a large quantity of Nile clay, and, dated back to the period from 150BC to 50AD . At El-Tod the shape appeared during the period 222-51 BC . At North Karnak, they were produced during the Ptolemaic period . At the Priest’s Quarter similar shapes were found which could be dated to the late Ptolemaic period. The SCA excavations in front of Karnak temples recovered large amount of such fusiform unguntaria from the settlement which dated back to the late Ptolemaic period and may use by the area or the baths’

This entry is not correct. The Upper Deck no longer hosts open mics.
The Edwards Mill Grill is a disgusting dump. Under no circumstances would I ever eat there again. I was going to meet up with a small group of acquaintances for an event in that general area, and we planned to go eat afterwards. I did a quick web search for restaurants in that area, and the Edwards Mill Grill came up and had a very good user rating. Well, this is obviously a case where employees and family members have gone on-line and given a place positive reviews, because there just isn’t any other way that this dump could ever get positive reviews. I ordered a burger and a salad, with blue cheese dressing. The quality of the salad itself was unusually good, i.e., fresh, green lettuce. But the dressing was watery and didn’t really taste at all like blue cheese. And it got worse when the burger came. When I order a burger in a restaurant, I expect the texture to resemble what you get if you go to a local supermarket and buy some ground beef at the meat counter, i.e., beef that has been freshly ground there in the store by the butcher. What I do not expect, and will never tolerate, is a patty of something that has been so thoroughly ground that it resembles more of a paste of some sort, that has been reconstituted into a patty. I know that you know what I’m talking about, because this kind of ground meat is not uncommon in cheap restaurants. And it tastes a lot like beef, but not completely like beef, and it is just disgusting. I wasn’t able to finish eating it, and the reason is partly that I was getting sick. It was disgusting. If I had not been with a group, I would have walked out as soon as they brought that burger. But when you are with a group, you can’t do that. When I give a restaurant my business, I do not think that I should be rewarded by having stomach cramps and gas for the next two or three days. I would never, ever eat at this dump again.
Just ate at Four Corners and had a great meal. We had a great chicken sanwich and chili. The food was not fancy but really good. Our waiter was friendly and the entire atmosphere was great. Highly recommended!
Devine's is a great ole bar to watch sports, hear music and enjoy Downtown Durham! Locals and Students both enjoy this Durham Tradition. Chuck Alford plays most Wednesday evenings, Bands on the Weekends and Sports all the time on the many many tvs
Since the remodel, Sparks now has a smoke free dining room. It is great! The ribs are delicious and so are the sluggers. Mama's Macaroni Salad is wonderful. Give it a try!
This is an awesome sports bar. I think its the best sports bar in Raleigh. The food, service and atmosphere are phenomenal.
Excellent food and diverse menu. Not your average bar-food, really good and everything is freshly prepared! Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Best place to watch any sporting event in Chapel Hill by far. lots of tvs, trivia, poker, even beer pong. Guaranteed to have an awesome time, reminiscent of the great college town that Chapel Hill is.
Great sports bar!! Lots of Tv's with satellite sports packs, great beer selection, better than average bar food and a classy ambiance. I really enjoy going to this place.
Smoke, smoke and more smoke. Zero ventilation.
If you want to experience the effects of second hand smoke, go here!
Besides that...it suffers from an identity crisis. Not really fan based or anything...Just plain gross. I will say that in the daytime I had fish tacos once and they were really good. But I have been there twice at nite and I can say I know what a cigarette filter feels like....never again.

Football season is nearly in full swing, but with the games also comes traffic.
The first preseason Tennessee Titans game against the San Diego Chargers starts at 7 p.m. Saturday, and the usual traffic management plan for Titans games will be in effect.
That means the Woodland Street Bridge will close at 4:30 p.m. and be available only to people walking across it, as well as shuttle buses.
The lots at Nissan Stadium are only open to those with parking passes - no cash parking and those lots open at 3 p.m. gates to the stadium open at 5 p.m.
Bus shuttles will start at 5:30 p.m. from lots at Rosa Parks Boulevard at 10th Avenue North and 10th Circle North at Charlotte Avenue.
Those shuttles cost $10 per person. And remember, the NFL bag restrictions that started in 2013 are in effect - even in pre-season games.
Anything larger than a clutch style purse must be a clear plastic bag. Nissan Stadium security staff will be enforcing the bag policy.

I can’t think of a movie I love more than Cameron Crowe’s remake of Vanilla Sky (the original, Open Your Eyes, is by Alejandro Amenábar, also starring Penelope Cruz). Seriously, if you haven’t seen this movie I dare you not to completely lose it at the end.
The Vanilla Sky soundtrack has a ton of great songs on it, from R.E.M. and Red House Painters to Peter Gabriel and Radiohead. The movie’s score was done by Cameron Crowe’s wife at the time, Nancy Wilson (from Heart), who also did his movie Almost Famous. Needless to say both soundtracks are amazing, but Nancy Wilson’s song “Elevator Beat” from Vanilla Sky is dreamy, sad (if you’ve seen the movie), and really gorgeous. In other words, it could make for a perfect wedding song.
I think “Elevator Beat” could be a perfect wedding song for a processional (groom or bride) or even a first dance song (though if this was playing at my wedding I might break down in tears).
Another great song from the soundtrack is Sigur Rós’s song, referred to as the Nothing Song. You’d have to edit it down a bit because it’s almost 8 minutes long, but it could be beautiful to play as well.
Listen to the soundtrack below. (And please watch the movie!)

The most regretful chapter of my life started with a big win; on 3rd November 2016, on my anniversary holiday in Berlin, I turned $0.97 into $99.60 using PokerStars. I headed to reception and bought celebratory beers. The next day I splurged on an expensive dinner at Reinhard’s.
Only upon reflection do I realise that by playing more games before sleeping I had in fact accumulated a net loss of $63 that night.
Things got worse. Upon returning home, bored stiff by the coverage of Donald Trump’s election victory, I entered games on PokerStars at $100 a turn. My third entry won $400. Obliviously inspired, I continued to play. The result of the night? A net loss of $210. The wheels were in motion. The more I won, the more I played and the more I lost. The more I lost, the more disheartened I would feel and the more I would crave another win. My dull university course was not distracting enough – only partying could take me away from Texas Hold’em, and the few victories that I did get at the table led me to believe I had enough money to numb my losses with endless booze. Nothing made me feel so simultaneously euphoric or worthless.
In reality, my finances had hit a brick wall; or rather, the bottom of a £1250 overdraft. By the time I discovered PaddyPower in late November I had already taken out my first SmartPig loan. Little did I know then that this was to be the first of three loans, alongside the tens of times I resorted to borrowing from my boyfriend. By Christmas, I was apologising to my family for being unable to afford their presents. It would be eight months following that first PokerStars bet until I realised I had a problem. Between Christmas and June my addiction festered – on my May 2016 payday I placed £750 on a single three-game accumulator, which took me £800 deep into my overdraft. In hindsight, if I hadn’t won that bet back, God knows where I’d be now.
Of the thousands of sportspeople on whom I bet, I calculated that I only knew 2% of them. I wasn’t betting because I knew the sport or had confidence in the team, I was betting for the sake of betting.
My parents discovered when my Mum opened one of my bank statements. Uncertain what to do, she told my Dad. I love my Mum more than anything, yet when she opened those statements I had the audacity to try and ignore her for a week. My delusion made me believe that she was the problem, and not me. From that moment forward, my Dad rigorously scoured my bank statements. It was humiliating yet upsettingly necessary.
I wrote this article because although I know scores of people who bet frequently in their lives, I have never known anyone with a gambling addiction, and never even heard stories of anyone with such an addiction at my age, despite my having no doubt that there are people like me out there.
To this day, I joke and jibe about my addiction. I’ve never talked about it seriously. Ironically, I still walk past the Ladbrokes on Moorland Road and wonder what kind of low life would want to spend their time in there. To this day, it appears that I still haven’t grasped the severity of the condition I once had. Being behind a computer screen kept me in my ivory tower despite my deteriorating mental health. At the time, my finances couldn’t have gotten much worse. If they had, I am convinced I wouldn’t have told anyone. Had my Mum not opened those statements, I would never have stopped gambling. I am one of the lucky ones.

European Union Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs said on Thursday an EU-backed plan to overhaul Ukraine’s gas pipeline network was not an attempt to isolate Russia. Russia to help pay for gas transit, risks remain.
Russia will help pay for supplying enough gas to ensure transit to European consumers via Ukraine, but supply risks have not yet been eliminated, Russia’s senior energy official was quoted as saying on Thursday.
“From our point of view, risks remain,” Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin said during a meeting with European Union Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs, Interfax news agency reported. “We have not yet reached guaranteed stability and we are prepared to clarify our position on this issue,” Interfax quoted Sechin as saying. “When we say there’s a problem, we also propose a solution. We have even agreed to co-financing,” Sechin said.
The supply of “technical gas” to Ukraine -- the gas needed to ensure transit supplies are pumped through its pipeline system -- was a major sticking point in the stand-off that led Russia to sever supplies to Europe for two weeks in January.
At the time, Ukraine said Russia should supply this gas free of charge, a demand that was rejected by Moscow. In a sign relations might be thawing, Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, visiting Moscow on Wednesday, welcomed Russia as a key partner in the EU-backed renewal of its gas pipeline network.
Moscow in turn agreed not to exact a $2 billion fine from Kiev for using less gas than agreed. Russia was angered by its omission from the pipeline overhaul plan presented by Ukraine in Brussels in March, citing its role as the main gas supplier.
“There was no attempt to isolate Russia,” Piebalgs told reporters after meeting Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko. The intention was to modernize the Ukrainian gas pipeline system, he said.
Piebalgs, in Moscow to discuss energy security, said a new energy pact proposed by Russia this month would not replace the current European Energy Charter, but was a more ambitious overall plan. (Reuters)


The Director-General of Health isn't ruling out restrictions easing in Auckland next week despite rising case numbers.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Monday that Auckland would remain at the first stage of alert level 3 for another week in light of the growing number of community cases.
The reproduction value (R value - or the average number of people a case will pass the virus on to) of the current outbreak stands at about 1.2 or 1.3, she said, above the "way below 1" where it stood in late September.
The restrictions will be reviewed by Cabinet again next Monday, based on the advice from the Ministry of Health, with the next possible step seeing outdoor gatherings increased to 25 people as well as retail businesses and public facilities opening their doors. That step is still alert level 3, but previously people couldn't enter most retail premises until alert level 2.
But considering the large number of cases being recorded each day - 35 on Monday and 60 on Sunday - The AM Show's Ryan Bridge asked Dr Ashley Bloomfield whether that was realistic.
"The case numbers are going up," the Director-General replied. "The R value is above one as we discussed yesterday. It's really important within this alert level 3 that Aucklanders keep doing what they need to do within alert level 3 and just keep minimising contact with other people, that's very important to help stop the spread of a virus."
"But the impact of those increasingly high vaccination rates is really apparent and it will become more apparent. That's really what's going to help us with making that shift through those stages, and then, as we all want to do, down alert levels in Auckland."
However, while Auckland's vaccine rate is steadily increasing - 2497 first doses and 14,520 second doses were administered on Sunday - it's yet to hit the 90 percent mark. That's where the Government has said it would be unlikely to impose lockdowns.
As of Monday's update, 87 percent of Aucklanders had had a first dose, up from 84 percent the week before. But Dr Bloomfield said "what's really important" is the percentage fully vaccinated, which in Auckland is currently 62 percent. The Government last week encouraged people to shorten the time between doses from six weeks to three or four.
Bridge again asked if it was possible people could be visiting retail outlets in Auckland next week.
"Well of course we review it every week and a team will be doing another assessment in a few days time," Dr Bloomfield said.
"So saying, at the moment, as we said yesterday, the case numbers are climbing slowly, and the R value is above one, we want to keep that as close to one as possible, and that is in part through our efforts around contact tracing, testing and quarantine, but it's also everybody's job to just stick within those alert level 3 rules, and if you haven't been vaccinated, go out and get vaccinated."
He said, as the first two steps of the three-step road map were still at alert level 3 lockdown, it's important people kept "minimising contact as much as possible with other people".
"That's going to be important over these coming weeks, even as those vaccination rates continue to climb and it's great to see they are."
One of the major concerns with opening up communities while there is transmission of COVID-19 is whether that could overwhelm our intensive care wards.
Dr Bloomfield said about 10 percent of our cases in this outbreak had required hospital-level care. At the moment, with 33 people in hospital, seven are in ICU.
"There is plenty of ICU capacity across Auckland," he said. "The key thing is we don't want to have many people in hospital because that then prevents them from providing all the other care that people need if our beds are full with people with COVID."
"We need to keep the case numbers as long as possible. The hospitals are able to cope with an increase in case numbers and hospitalisations that result, but we don't want to do that. That's why we want to keep the alert level 3 restrictions in place and keep going with that aggressive control that we are currently doing."
