In the ever-evolving landscape of medical science, where technological breakthroughs continue to revolutionize diagnostics and treatments, nuclear medicine emerges as a shining beacon of innovation. This article embarks on a comprehensive journey into the realm of nuclear medicine, delving deep into its principles, applications, and impact on modern healthcare. Join us as we unravel the atomic mysteries that empower this cutting-edge discipline.
Unveiling the Essence of Nuclear Medicine
A Fusion of Science and Healing
Nuclear medicine, a branch of medical imaging, harmoniously merges the realms of nuclear physics and healthcare. At its core, nuclear medicine employs radiopharmaceuticals – substances imbued with radioactive elements – to visualize and analyze the inner workings of the human body. This unique approach enables medical professionals to delve beyond surface-level symptoms, unraveling intricate details that may remain concealed by conventional methods.
The Dance of Radioactive Tracers
In the heart of nuclear medicine lies the artistry of radioactive tracers. These minuscule compounds, when introduced into the body, embark on an extraordinary journey. Emitting gamma rays, they navigate through organs, bones, and tissues, illuminating their paths like celestial guides. Sophisticated gamma cameras capture these rays, translating them into vibrant images that unravel the story of physiological processes.
Pioneering Applications and Clinical Marvels
Scintigraphy: Mapping Hidden Terrain
Scintigraphy, a cornerstone of nuclear medicine, facilitates the mapping of organ functionality. By administering radiopharmaceuticals tailored to specific organs, medical professionals gain insight into their performance. Whether evaluating cardiac health, scrutinizing bone metabolism, or unraveling neurological complexities, scintigraphy provides a window into the dynamic landscapes of our inner biology.
PET-CT: Merging Dimensions for Unsurpassed Clarity
Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT) emerges as a stellar example of nuclear medicine’s prowess. This dual-modality imaging marries PET’s ability to trace metabolic activity with CT’s structural insights, fostering a holistic understanding of afflictions. From oncology’s intricate staging to neurological enigmas, PET-CT’s amalgamation of information paints a comprehensive canvas of health.
Empowering Precision Medicine and Beyond
Personalized Treatments Illumined
Nuclear medicine’s contributions extend beyond diagnostics, empowering personalized treatments. Radioligand therapy, a remarkable innovation, leverages radiopharmaceuticals to selectively target malignant cells, sparing healthy counterparts. This targeted approach minimizes collateral damage, underscoring nuclear medicine’s role in sculpting bespoke, effective interventions.
Forging Frontiers in Research
As an invaluable tool in medical research, nuclear medicine shapes groundbreaking discoveries. From elucidating cellular processes to tracking drug distribution, its applications span the spectrum of scientific inquiry. The marriage of radiotracers and advanced imaging techniques imparts researchers with unprecedented insights, propelling innovation across disciplines.
Radiance and Responsibility: Ethical Considerations
Amidst the brilliance of nuclear medicine’s advancements, ethical considerations illuminate the path forward. Safeguarding patient welfare, maintaining radiation safety, and ensuring equitable access are paramount. Balancing the benefits of enhanced diagnostics and therapies with potential risks underscores the conscientious evolution of nuclear medicine.
Conclusion: Illuminating Horizons
In the symphony of medical progress, nuclear medicine orchestrates harmonies of insight, precision, and compassion. From unraveling cellular intricacies to guiding personalized treatments, its radiance extends far beyond the visible spectrum. As we traverse the dynamic landscapes of healthcare, nuclear medicine stands as a testament to human ingenuity, forever shaping a healthier future.

Peterhead have been drawn at home to Premiership opponents Dundee while Aberdeen will face Motherwell in the last 16 of the Scottish Cup.
The Blue Toon, who were victorious in a penalty shoot-out against East Kilbride on Saturday, will take on James McPake’s side at Balmoor on February 12.
The two sides have met five times previously – all in the League Cup – with Peterhead’s only win coming in the 2016 competition. They last met at Dens Park in 2019.
Peterhead have had three loan players on loan from Dundee this season, in Josh Mulligan, Danny Strachan and Lyall Cameron. Mulligan has since been recalled by the Dark Blues and played in their win over Dumbarton, while Strachan and Cameron were not involved against Kilby.
Aberdeen’s reward for seeing off Edinburgh City with a comfortable 3-0 win at Pittodrie is a trip to fellow Premiership side Motherwell.

Celtic have been drawn at home against Raith Rovers in the fifth round.
The Hoops, who won 2-1 at Alloa on Saturday evening, have already beaten the Fifers 3-0 in the Premier Sports Cup at Parkhead this season.
Rangers will play bottom-tier opposition again. The Gers saw off Stirling on Friday and will face a trip south to play Annan, who beat Clydebank 4-3 after extra time in the fourth round.
There are two all-Premiership ties with Hearts taking on Livingston as well as Aberdeen’s visit to Well.
League Two leaders Kelty Hearts have been rewarded for knocking out holders St Johnstone with a trip to play St Mirren.
Hibernian face a tough trip up the east coast to Gayfield to play Championship leaders Arbroath.
Dundee United face another away game against Championship opposition following their win at Kilmarnock, after being handed a tie against former manager Ian McCall’s Partick Thistle side.
The ties will be played around the weekend of February 12-13.

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff believes that his team is ready to face the new F1 season and its regulation challenges, having worked hard throughout the entirety of the winter period.
Wolff has described 2017 as "the dawn of a new era" due to the new rules influencing car design and performance, and Mercedes is widely expected to make the best of them as the favourite for the title, but the Austrian is not willing to discount any of its rivals at this early stage - even though he remains positive.
"We have tackled with determination the challenge of the new regulations," he said. "We have been very successful over the last three years through stable rules - but no team has ever maintained its success over such a big regulation change before. In a way, it's just what the doctor ordered. To have such a challenge is good for the team."
Wolff has also stressed the importance of Mercedes managing its expectations very carefully this year, regardless of how high they may be: "There is an art to managing expectations. You must not set them too low - but you must also keep them under control.
"With new regulations, everyone starts with zero points. It provides opportunities as well as risks for every team on the grid. You only need to look back to 2009 to see how unpredictable Formula One can be, with Brawn winning the Championship after being on the brink of extinction."
The Silver Arrows have a new driver this year in Valtteri Bottas, and there has already been a great deal of discussion about how he will fare against his team-mate Lewis Hamilton. Wolff will not predict which of his drivers will come out on top, but he says that the team is happy with their relationship behind the scenes.
"Lewis and Valtteri are in a great place. They have a respectful and friendly relationship from what we've seen in our team briefings so far. It's an exciting time for them because these new cars are a real physical challenge. Both felt from testing that the G-forces are enormous and they are embracing the new challenge of F1 2017.
"Having spoken to the drivers, these machines are violent - just like Formula One cars should be. I have been out on track watching them and, next to the previous generation of cars, these are properly spectacular cars.
"From a fan perspective - and part of me will always be a fan - it really is something special. Any true motorsport lover simply has to see them in the flesh."


Urban Structure 2001
The eleven structure types with predominantly residential use cover over half of the built-up area of Berlin .
With 41 %, “low buildings with yards” accounts for by far the largest share of residential areas, followed by “fifties and later row” (11 %). “Block-edge” and “eighties and nineties row” have the smallest shares (1 %) (cf. Fig. 2).
In terms of the distribution among the Berlin boroughs, a different picture emerges, however (cf. Fig. 3).
Low buildings with yards (Structure type 9-13),
Postwar high-rise development (Structure type 6-8),
Twenties and thirties and fifties and later row development (Structure type 4-5),
late 19th-century block development (Structure type 1-3)
In Tiergarten, Kreuzberg and Schöneberg, a relatively high share of the residential area – approx. 80 % – is preserved as late 19th-century block development, much of which has, however, been altered massively. In the district of Wedding, late 19th-century block development and row development account for half the residential area. The district of Reinickendorf has, with 465 ha, the greatest share of row-type construction, followed by Spandau and Neukölln. The high-rise development of the postwar era occurs is no where to be found in Zehlendorf, but is an outstandingly high share of approx. 40 % in Lichtenberg, Marzahn and Hellersdorf. The low buildings with yards structure is entirely absent in the inner-city districts of Mitte, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Schöneberg, while accounting for approx. three-fourths of the residential area in the outskirts districts Zehlendorf, Köpenick, Weissensee and Hellersdorf.
One finds the late 19th-century closed block development with wings and rear buildings, hardly changed since their origin, in large parts Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf between the Lietzensee (Lake), Kurfürstendamm, Richard-Wagner-Strasse and Spandauer Damm. The narrow development with the typical courtyard structure has also survived to a large degree in Moabit and Wedding, in Friedrichshain between the City Rail Circle Line and Petersburger/Warschauer Strasse, as well as in the districts of Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Schöneberg between the corridors Neukölln Schiffahrtskanal (Ship Canal), Skalitzer Strasse, Gitschiner / Karl-Marx-Strasse, Gneisenaustrasse, Yorckstrasse and Potsdamer/Hauptstrasse.
One finds the late 19th-century closed development with few wings / rear buildings, including the area types “decorative/garden court” and “shed court,” in the former suburbs of Berlin outside the City Rail Circle Line. This construction structure, too, has hardly changed since its origin. Large areas exist in Friedenau, Steglitz, Tempelhof, Friedrichshagen, Oberschöneweide, Karlshorst, Pankow, Niederschönhausen, Spandau and in the borough of Reinickendorf west of Provinzstrasse.
Large areas of late 19th-century closed block-edge development with major changes, which emerged as the result of war-time destruction and reconstruction, or of reconstruction with massive demolition of late 19th-century block development, are found within the City Rail Circle Line, particularly in Charlottenburg between Otto-Suhr-Allee and Bismarckstrasse and along Spandauer Damm, in Tiergarten around the Spree Bend and Invalidenstrasse, and south of the Landwehrkanal (Canal) around Potsdamer Strasse, in Wedding between the City Rail Line between Nordbahnhof, Gesundbrunnen and Bernauer Strasse, and in Friedrichshain west of the Warschauer / Petersburger Strasse corridor and, east of these streets, in the area of Frankfurter Allee. Also in the districts of Schöneberg and Wilmersdorf, there are many areas in which the typical late 19th-century courtyard structure was changed significantly by reconstruction and renovation.
Fig. 4 shows the late 19th-century structure types “late 19th-century block development with wings and rear buildings” and “late 19th-century block development with major changes” differentiated according to their area types at the borough level for selected districts. In the eastern boroughs Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain, the area type “closed courtyard” does not appear, since it was recorded under the type “courtyard”.
In Prenzlauer Berg, Kreuzberg, Charlottenburg and Neukölln, very much late 19th-century development of the area types “closed courtyard” and “courtyard” – over 200 ha in area – is still preserved in its original form. The share of very dense development of the type “closed courtyard” is relatively high in Neukölln, Wedding and Kreuzberg. Late 19th-century preservation-oriented reconstruction, under which the original block structures were largely preserved, occurred most prominently in the borough of Kreuzberg. In the districts of Tiergarten, Friedrichshain and Wilmersdorf, war-damaged late 19th-century block development was largely eliminated and replaced, particularly by new buildings of the “postwar block-edge” type. “Late 19th-century development with major changes” and “reconstruction by de-coring” became increasingly common in the district of Wedding.
The twenties and thirties block-edge and row development type is found mainly outside the City Rail Circle Line. Frequently, the rows and large courts were erected in neighborhoods dominated by the “late 19th-century block-edge development with few wings and rear buildings” type, at the edge of the former suburbs of Berlin. They are as a rule connected to the City Rail and subway network.
The fifties and later row developments were erected mostly in the Berlin outskirts, outside the City Rail Circle Line. They were laid out on former open spaces (agriculture areas, etc.) without regard to existing transportation corridors or construction structures. Within the Circle Line, formerly built-up areas were replaced by row development. This includes large areas in Kreuzberg, Mitte and Friedrichshain, but isolated areas with row development on top of former late 19th-century block structure also exist in other inner-city districts.
One finds postwar high-rise development of the “unplanned reconstruction” type in the western parts within the City Rail Circle Line. Large areas of this type exist in Wilmersdorf around Bundesallee, in the ditrict of Schöneberg in the area of Nollendorfplatz and Kleiststrasse, and in Kreuzberg between Wilhelmstrasse and Stresemannstrasse. Otherwise the high-rise development of the postwar era occurred within the City Rail Circle Line only in Kreuzberg, Mitte and Friedrichshain. Here smaller developments of the area type “high-rise” emerged. As a rule, the high-rise developments were erected outside the City Rail Circle Line. Such large complexes erected in West Berlin include Gropiusstadt in Neukölln, developments in Lichtenrade, Marienfelde, Lichterfelde and Spandau as well as the Märkische Viertel in Reinickendorf. In East Berlin the largest developments are found in Hohenschönhausen, Marzahn, Hellersdorf and Lichtenberg.
The eighties and nineties block-edge and row development of the pre-fab concrete construction type occurs mainly in Hellersdorf and Marzahn. Smaller settlements were built in Köpenick and Hohenschönhausen.
The approximately 250 areas of the type compact, high urban living development of the nineties, realized usually in the framework of town-planning development projects, are located mainly at the edge of the eastern part of the city, as in Karow north and Buchholz. Some of the big housing projects like e.g. the Rummelsburger Bucht are situated also in the city center. The biggest project in the west part of the city is the water city Spandau.
The structure type urban living development with low density of the nineties with approximately 90 separate areas, also was erected normally in the east part and at the outskirts in Pankow or Treptow-Köpenick. However, you can find this type isolated also in Steglitz-Zehlendorf and Spandau.
Construction structures with yards are as a rule found only on the outskirts of town. These low, single-family and duplex houses with yards are to be found in the entire outskirts area.
The villa development with park-like gardens emerged mainly during the late 19th-century in scenically attractive areas; this has hardly changed since then. One finds larger areas of this type near the Grunewald Forest in Nikolassee, Zehlendorf, Dahlem and Grunewald, in Lichterfelde, near the Tegel Forest in Hermsdorf and Frohnau, along the Dahme at Grünau, and in the area the Müggelspree at Rahnsdorf.
Development with yards and semi-private re-greening, in which villa development and/or low single family houses are interspersed with larger rental and studio-apartment houses, occurs mainly in the southern urban area, particularly in the transitional areas between villas and single family housing in West Lichterfelde and Zehlendorf.
Village-like development is still preserved on the outskirts of town only in the old village cores; in the eastern boroughs more and larger village structures can generally be found.
One finds the development with predominantly commercial and service use frequently in the old central business districts of the various parts of town. This applies particularly to both the city center areas of West and East Berlin concentrated around the Kurfürstendamm/ Tauentzienstrasse and/or around the Alexanderplatz/ Friedrichstrasse.
Structure types with predominantly small business and industrial use are concentrated along waterways and railroad lines. Heavily built-up small business areas occur less frequently than small business areas with low development.
Development with predominantly public facilities and special use is to be found relatively evenly distributed throughout the urban area. Obviously, green and open spaces are more available in the outskirts area than in the inner city. As traffic areas, the airports Tempelhof and Tegel, and the right-of-ways of the City Rail lines stand out.
Detailed information about structure types which do not serve predominantly the residential use are found in the Umweltatlas Maps 06.01 “Actual Use of Built-up Areas” and 06.02 “Inventory of Green and Open Spaces”.

Best 7 Peach Trees To Grow In Indiana
Indiana, an indescribably beautiful state filled with mountains, rivers, gorges, and so on, is predominantly the ancestral home of the Illini, Miami (including the Wea) and Shawnee tribes.
As native tribes, they have vast knowledge about how to take care of the land in ways that are way more effective at cultivating biodiversity, protecting trees from diseases, and not damaging nature.
As a result of the white colonization of the region, Indiana became the 19th state to join the Union in 1816. As a result of the introduction of many different fruit varieties, Indiana now has many orchards that grow apples, peaches, and a wide variety of other fruit trees.
In this article, we will discuss some of the best trees we’ve grown here in Indiana.
It will take three to four years for a peach tree grown from seed to produce fruit, so if you wish to grow a peach tree in your garden sooner it is best to purchase a young tree from a nursery.
It is important to choose a type of peach tree that grows well in your climate. The majority of peach species require a period of cold temperatures in order to grow properly.
Belle of Georgia Peach Tree
Your garden will be enhanced by a classic, time-tested peach tree when you plant the Belle of Georgia Peach.
Georgia peaches are known for their large, flavorful fruit and are considered to be one of the best peaches on the market.
Moreover, this tree has an appealing appearance as well, with a neat, rounded crown and dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall.
This beautiful blossom blooms with showy, fragrant pink flowers in springtime.
In the summer, blooms are followed by large, creamy-white peaches with a bright red cheek, ready for harvest in late August.
Despite the name, the freestone fruit of the Belle of Georgia is sweet and juicy, making it ideal for baking, canning, and eating.
This fast-growing peach tree is self-pollinating, so you do not need to plant a second tree to produce fruit (although the growth of additional trees will increase your yield). We recommend keeping the Belle in the shade for at least 800 hours.
What could possibly be better than that? This organic Belle of Georgia peach is grown in Georgia, so you can enjoy fresh peaches right at home without relying on harsh chemicals. In addition, this variety is resistant to leaf spot, brown rot, and other peach pests and diseases.
Bonfire Patio Peach Tree
The Bonfire Patio Peach Tree doesn’t need a yard or garden to grow, and it’s actually an excellent choice if you don’t have a yard at all.
It has been given that name due to its ability to produce both an impressive amount of visual interest and delicious peaches without taking up a lot of space, especially since it only grows to approximately 4 or 5 feet in height.
It’s true that you can eat these peaches straight off the tree, though they are much better baked or canned, which will bring out their sweetness and peach flavor.
This small tree produces an abundant amount of sweet, juicy, and large peaches with a lot of flavor despite its small stature.
Redskin Peach Tree
There are two main varieties of peach trees, the Red Haven and the Elberta, that are closely related to the redskin peach tree, and it can be seen as the descendant of those two trees.
Combining the best traits from both of these fruit varieties into a fruit variety of the highest amount of quality.
It is said that Redskin peaches are the best of the best when it comes to fresh and firm, as well as having a juicy texture and a sweet, tangy taste.
Could there be any other benefits associated with this? Due to its compact size, this variety works well in almost any location within your landscape due to its manageable size.
No matter what you do with your tree’s peaches, whether you bake, can, or eat them fresh from the tree, their flavor remains.
Golden Jubilee Peach Tree
The Golden Jubilee Peach Tree (Prunus persica ‘Golden Jubilee’) is a small, mid-season, fruit-bearing tree that thrives in cold climates.
The Golden Jubilee grapes are not only excellent in terms of flavor, but they are also resistant to disease as well.
We would like to kick off spring with a burst of delicate, pink blossoms. This plant has a heady scent that draws bees and butterflies to your yard in the early morning, as well as attracting early arriving hummingbirds.
Make sure to snip a few branches at the end of the winter to force them in the early spring.
As for the peaches themselves, there is nothing overpowering about their beauty, with their scarlet blushes making a stark contrast to the yellow background.
In July, when the fruit is ripe, the vibrant and green foliage of the tree becomes a good indicator of when it is time to harvest. In autumn, after the harvest, its lance-shaped, slightly curving leaves also transition into a vibrant yellow color.
Freestone Golden Jubilee peaches have attractive, fine-grained yellow flesh that is juicy, sweet, and tender. At the height of the season, these are ready to eat, making them perfect for fresh consumption, baking into pies and other recipes, or canning.
Lemon Elberta Peach Tree
Lemon Elberta Peach Tree (Prunus persica ‘Lemon Elberta’) is a fantastic upgrade to the already amazing Elberta Peach!
Brilliant yellow, fuzzy skin with a slight red blush when ripe, and brilliant yellow flesh!
One of the finest fresh eating peaches available. Firm flesh and incredible flavor, as well as great yield, making it a highly valuable tree.
These yellow freestone peaches are wonderful choices for cooking, preserves, freezing and baking.
This is also a great canning variety because the fruit is nice and firm. You’ll get thick, meaty slices that can be dried or dehydrated as a fantastic snack.
Ripening in the early-late season. You’ll likely harvest in September, although some areas come on a little earlier in August. Though self-fruitful, planting with another variety gives larger yields and extends your harvest season.
Canadian Harmony Peach Tree
It is always a good idea to have self-pollinating fruit trees in your edible landscape.
You will relish the opportunity to enjoy your very own homegrown, tree-ripe fruit which you picked from your own garden.
In spite of the fact that you might live in a colder area, you can grow a Canadian Harmony Peach tree (Prunus ‘Canadian Harmony’) that is productive and beautiful.
There is a bit of a delay in blooming, so that you don’t have to worry about those nasty late spring frosts while harvesting.
Besides having a well-balanced taste, the Canadian Harmony fruit is also incredibly versatile.
It is true that this is an all-arounder that can be used for most anything that has to do with peaches.
The fruit is very juicy and very tasty. Take advantage of the large, firm peaches as soon as they are ready, or freeze them for later use. Peaches with pits are easy to prepare because the pit can be pulled out easily.
In addition, there is a red area near the pit of the yellow flesh. Unlike other varieties, it does not brown as fast as other types, so it makes a nice presentation on a plate or in salads.
It is also a good wine to keep for a long time. With a shelf life of over a year, these peaches will have a lot of value to you.
This yellow peach stands up well to baking thanks to the zippy hint of acidity that makes it so delicious. Pies and cobblers will be amazing thanks to it. In addition to canning beautifully, it can also be frozen.

|Phil Mickelson watches his tee shot at the par-3 second hole during the first round of the 2016 Safeway Open at Napa’s Silverado Resort and Spa. Mickelson finished the day at 3-under, seven strokes back of leader Scott Piercy.|
Thursday, October 13, 2016
Thin high clouds and temperatures in the mid-70s greeted fans and players on the opening day of the 2016-2017 PGA Tour season in the inaugural Safeway Open at Napa’s Silverado Resort and Spa. Windy conditions predicted for the opening round never materialized, and playing conditions on the historic North Course were perfect.
Topping the parade of players who took advantage of the pristine conditions today was Las Vegas, Nevada, native Scott Piercy, who fired a 10-under 62 to take the lead after 18 holes, as well as sole possession of the course record. Among the four co-holders of the previous record of 9-under 63 was tournament host and resort co-owner Johnny Miller.
Two strokes back of Piercy after 18 holes were second-year PGA Tour member Patton Kizzire and England’s Paul Casey. Casey’s career ratcheted into high gear in 2016, after several years of injury-related doldrums, with back-to-back second-place finishes at the Deutsche Bank and BMW Championships during the FedEx Cup playoffs, part of seven Top 10 and twelve Top 25 finishes in 17 (out of 22) made cuts.
Besides the predicted windy conditions, the other thing that never materialized at Silverado was Tiger Woods. After his September 2 announcement of a tentative schedule for his return to tournament golf after a 14-month absence – a return which was to begin with the Safeway Open – and confirming his entry to the tournament on October 7, Woods doubled-back three days later, withdrawing from the tournament and issuing a statement on his website on Monday, October 10, citing a shaky game, but not physical injury, as the reason for his change of heart.
Phil Mickelson had expressed interest in being paired with Woods for the first two rounds, and media reports in advance of the announcement of tournament pairings indicated that the two would indeed be placed in the same group. That dream pairing – or nightmare, depending upon whether you are a fan, a golf writer, or a course marshal – was not to be, however. Still, Phil’s Faithful lined the fairways and surrounded the greens during his round, as he played with defending champion Emiliano Grillo and 2011 Fedex Cup champ Bill Haas.
Phil put on a show for his gallery, scrambling to a 3-under 69, hitting five of 14 fairways and 13 of 18 greens, with 29 putts – and only handed out one signed glove, to a spectator on the right side of the fairway who got clipped by his drive on the par-five 9th hole.
Asked about the course, Mickelson said, “I really like it. It reminds me of the old Torrey South. The way the holes moved, the way the greens have similar contours to them and the length wasn’t overpowering but you had to be very precise to get it close to some of the holes. I like the feel of the golf course.”
Notable performances by Northern California players in the field include rounds of 2-under 70 shot by former San Jose State golfer Mark Hubbard and Clovis’s Bryson DeChambeau.

It’s a long feeling, possibly thin, walking down a street, the interactions are vague, the focus shot through with a membrane of something, micron thin. Walking towards, but not seeing, glassy eyed and glossed, glossed over, they say. This sheen can be tuned in to, a kind of daily shrink wrap, we never even talk about proximity, doesn’t cross our minds. It leeches out of stuff, squirts through the seam along the bottom of the iPhone, the liquid draining from the glass, a hand holding a foot, body removed. A weeping-wound dressing should be applied when the top surface of the skin has been removed over more than a square centimetre of flesh, the Hyrdrocolliod dressings maintain a moist environment where the bodies own enzymes can help heal, they also prevent the histamine which weeps out from bonding with clothing or other fibres. It looks like a cling film patch, like a pixar top coat. Like the final render of sheen on car bodies, crystal coat, meat-cum-favourable contour. All is bred to dominate. Bodies, a language to be read, a surface on which to write.
Double glazing the TV screen so it is more efficient, relax the boiler over winter, turn the pressure down. The air agitated and angry, rushing skywards as it heats, vibrating invisible mite graveyards, accumulated over time and distributing them like a blanket of invisible proof, that eyes don’t see unless the frame allows it. Writing in bubbles and connecting them up with different coloured biro, like sticks found and collected, left to reveal their real meaning. The surface of all this is like jism, or basic shampoo, left to spread as it wants and form its own sheen. The walls which can be seen are just the ones which excuse themselves through necessity, the glass ones are the real creeps. Shuffle across a palazzo, divided down the middle by gigantic glass sheets, all that is seen is a series of floating vinyl dots in tasteful grey. The ground is puckered, pulled up, snagged, gathered, bunched in a ripple of concern over a forehead made of fantasy cobble. Sandles made of gibbon faces glide across the wrinkles, using the furrowed surface like a skate park. Slime trickles down and reveals the peaks and troughs like rock pools at low tide. Crabs gather in huddles wearing faux roman garb, fashioned out of hallucinated eunuch pelt. Through the green slime the crabs look purple and their Samsungs are spouting nonsense at them about geo-caching for imaginary beasts, so they can be sold the wares of mongrel cats who have set out stalls to look like any of the great souks. A bazaar for direct sale, no speculation just guarantee, algorithms designed for faceless populations which have congealed like blank snot in the eyes of drunken economists who recently ransacked a local fancy dress. One dressed as a Marylin Monroe police officer, squirts silly string at cling film strips held between two posts, the other uses witches fingers enabled for smartphone use, to navigate the silk road and spend his bitcoin on spiders that come flattened between sheets of glass for microscopes. They all shout SALE in the voice of Churchill and eat wrigleys, fashioned from the sinue left over on the carcases of giant sperm which invaded the other side of the glass but not ours.

Disney is facing a double-edged sword.
Shares of the entertainment giant climbed less than 1% on Monday after the company reopened parts of its Disney World theme park in Florida over the weekend.
Public concern has grown around the reopening as coronavirus cases in the state continue to rise. Florida broke the record for one-day case counts for any state with 15,300 new cases on Sunday and saw its largest one-day spike in virus-related hospitalizations on Friday.
But Disney is facing a dilemma: Theme parks were its biggest profit maker, and with operations stalled, revenues are put at risk — so, despite calls from employees to delay the reopening, the company is plowing forward.
As for the stock, which climbed nearly 2% on Friday and almost 7% over the course of last week, it still appears to have room to run, Mark Newton, the president and founder of Newton Advisors, told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Friday.
"Momentum right now is still pretty positive off those lows, and really, the stock is not all that overbought," he said. "A lot of how the stock is going to trade largely, I think, rests with vaccine hopes and/or hospitalization rates, and it's really going to be, to some extent, dependent."
"Technically speaking, it is something to own," Newton said, citing the above chart. "We all know the market is forward-looking. If we have, in fact, seen the worst and we can see, at least, lower rates of curves and things flattening out, then I think the stock likely is going to be good to own at least into the fall and potentially into year end."
Disney shares were trading just below the $120 level early on Monday. Newton said his technical target was near $128, which would represent a 7% increase from the stock's current levels.
A move above $128 could "open things up for a move up to 140-150," which is between 17% and 25% higher than where Disney is now, Newton said.
On the flip side, "we have to watch for any move under 107 if things don't materialize as expected," Newton said. "That would be detrimental. But for now, I do like the stock, and I would own it for the weeks ahead."
Chad Morganlander, senior portfolio manager at Washington Crossing Advisors, agreed with Newton's call.
"We would be invested in Disney. In fact, we own this in our all-cap value portfolio," Morganlander said. "We believe that due in part to the coronavirus, we're path-dependent on a therapeutic as well as other medical treatments."
Morganlander predicted that the theme parks would see improvement over the next 12-24 months, backed up by strength in Disney's digital ventures.
"As an investor, we'd look two to three years out for this story," he said. "We think that this could do very well in this type of environment as we start to improve."
Disclosure: Washington Crossing Advisors owns shares of Disney.

Nowadays much of Leederville's unique character is derived from it's history. For thousands of years it was a camping and meeting space for the Noongar people, transformed into a food producing settlement then into the cosmopolitan township it is famous for today. It's working class origins of the local community are still evident physically with many of the original cottages and landmark buildings remaining exactly as they were constructed over 100 years ago. That history, mixed with the influence of the cafes, retailers and restaurants established during the 1990's has left it with a unique, vibrant, youthful atmosphere and an authentic character. It's history firmly imbedded in its physical landscape and in the values of the community who call it home.
ALL PHOTOS BY JARRAD SENG
Leederville originally formed part of the Boorloo - tribal land belonging to the local Noongar people. Lake Monger, or Galup as it was known, was used by the Noongar people as a camp site and meeting place. The area was settled by William Leeder and John Monger i 1829 as part of the initial Perth settlement colony. By 1838, Leeder had established the Leeder Hotel and by 1868 the area was mostly dominated by food production consisting of market gardens, dairy farming and poultry farms, helping cater for the 10,000 or so convicts in the Perth colony.
In May 1875 the area officially became it's own municipally called 'Leederville' with it's first Mayor, James Stewart Bennet. By 1897 the town had its own town hall, primary school, police station, post office and the beginnings of a tram network. By 1911, Leederville also had its own oval, Leederville Oval, and many other recreation and utility facilities including the 'Perth Water Supply', constructed on the corner of Loftus and Newcastle streets, now the Water Corporation. In 1948 a technical trade school was built as a training centre by the army and later became TAFE, now Central.

LEEDERVILLE CARNIVAL HISTORY
After a long history of community events and festivals put on by various community groups and governments, the first 'Leederville Carnival' was established in 2012 by local resident and trader group, Leederville Connect. Leederville Connect, along with The City of Vincent sought to create a community event that showcased all the wonderful aspects that made up Leederville and it's lifestyle. Enlisting the help of local events and entertainment company 'The Funk Factory' under the directorship of Ken Allen and Jimmy 'Lips' Murphy, and funded by the local community and the City of Vincent, the first 'Light Up Leederville Carnival' was delivered in 2012 along Oxford and Newcastle streets with over 24,000 people in attendance over the course of the day. In 2013 the carnival grew with almost 50,000 people in attendance before growing once again to over 80,000 in 2014 and 2015.

Beshear Promotes Mine Worker Drug and Alcohol Law
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear is promoting a newly passed law that permanently revokes the credentials of miners who fail drug tests.
Beshear says the law sends a clear message that drug and alcohol abuse won't be tolerated in Kentucky mines. The law, passed by the General Assembly earlier this year, bars miners from working when they've tested positive for using drugs or alcohol for a third time. Beshear says this will help miners get home safely to their families at the end of their shifts while also requiring those with addictions to seek treatment. First time offenders have the option to seek treatment, after which they can have their mining certifications reinstated.

MP rejects City Centre Alive pedestrian safety fears
The Member for Cairns says he has reviewed safety at a new city centre intersection after concerns about pedestrian safety.
The $20 million City Centre Alive project will officially open on Saturday, with buses to begin using Lake Street again from Monday.
Gavin King says the area represents world-class urban design and he has rejected suggestions from the Transport Workers Union (TWU) that pedestrians will be at greater risk.
"I think it's absolutely sensational," he said.
"My visit to that area included someone from council who has done numerous studies with a speed gun since that Lake Street has been opened up and she could hardly find anyone who was doing over that 10 kilometres an hour.
"We stood there for nearly half an hour and just observed the way that motorists and pedestrians are interacting."
The TWU says a lack of pedestrian lights or markings will compromise safety.
However, Mr King says the design is based on extensive studies and modelling and a similar approach has been successful in some European cities.
"Without any markings, without any speed signs, without any zebra crossings, whatever you want, they've removed them all and all of the studies have shown that it's actually safer because both pedestrians and cyclists and car users, drivers, they actually pay more attention," he said.


Owners and lessees of Fiat Chrysler vehicles – Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram – equipped with certain 9-speed transmissions have claimed that these vehicles are plagued with shifting problems.
The affected vehicles? 2016–Present FCA vehicles with the ZF 9HP automatic transmissions.
According to the class action lawsuit, Fiat Chrysler advertised the transmission as having “numerous benefits customers will appreciate, including aggressive launches, smooth power delivery at highway speeds and improved fuel efficiency” compared to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The suit claims that vehicles with these transmissions do not just fall short of those promises, but also fail to fulfill the basic expectation of providing safe, reliable transportation.
This 9-speed transmission’s defects allegedly include rough, delayed, or sudden shifting, failure to shift, grinding noises, harsh gear engagement, sudden or harsh acceleration and deceleration, sudden loss of vehicle power, and premature wear and/or failure of the transmission.
These alleged defects may make it difficult for drivers to control the car’s speed, acceleration and direction.
As a result, drivers may find it hard to change lanes, turn their vehicles, merge into traffic, accelerate from stops or accelerate onto highways safely. Not only that, the damage done to the vehicles can result in costly repairs.
The class action lawsuit alleges that Fiat Chrysler knew about the problems with the transmission well before these vehicles were sold to the public. These problems were severe enough to warrant several fixes, recalibrations and delays in launching.
After releasing these vehicles to the public, the automaker had to issue several technical service bulletins and transmission software updates. However, consumers kept reporting problems like those listed in the class action complaint.
The complaint alleges that rather than repairing the defects in this transmission, the automaker either ignored the defects or simply offered supposed fixes that masked the defects in the vehicles.


Report: Ozzy Osborne Was Asked to Join Van Halen
A strange road not taken in rock history
The history of rock music — really, of popular music, period — abounds with moments of what might have been. Especially tempting for music fans with a penchant for alternate timelines is the tendency to speculate about roads not taken involving multiple iconic musicians.
This week, Ozzy Osbourne revealed a piece of musical history that could be one of the biggest examples of this. Stereogum reports that Osbourne told listeners of Ozzy Speaks, his SiriusXM show, that the late Eddie Van Halen had reached out to him about joining Van Halen.
“He phoned me up one time and asked me if I wanted to sing in his band. Way after Sammy,” Osbourne said. “I think he was a bit drunk.”
For many listeners, imagining what Van Halen might have sounded like with Ozzy on vocals may well have blown their minds. Moments in rock history where a famous vocalist joins up with the members of a famous band aren’t all that common, but there have been a few notable examples over the years: Nirvana teaming with multiple vocalists for their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is one example; Joe Strummer’s time in The Pogues is another.
In the same episode of Ozzy Speaks, Osbourne also spoke warmly of Van Halen’s approach to the guitar. “To watch Eddie play, it was like his hands would turn into a spider,” Osbourne said. It’s a tribute from one iconic rock musician to another.

UN: Afghans Forced to Pay Bribes
Citizens pay off public officials to cut through red tape or get help with service.
Published: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 3:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 at 3:32 a.m.
LONDON | Half of all Afghan adults paid at least one bribe to a public official over the course of a year to cut through red tape or get help with poor service, the U.N. said Tuesday in a report that documents the extraordinary depth of corruption in Afghanistan.
Afghans paid nearly $2.5 billion in bribes - worth almost a quarter of the country's GDP - in the 12-month period ending last autumn.
The average bribe cost $160 - a hefty sum in a country with a per capita income of nearly $500, according to the report, based on interviews with thousands of people across Afghanistan.
Most of those surveyed said they could not expect a single public service without paying favors.
Many felt it was "normal" to pay extra for services, better treatment or avoiding fines.
Bribes were requested and taken by politicians, prosecutors, tax officers - anyone with even the most modest level of power to yield, from the humblest clerk at the office in charge of driver licenses to, by many accounts, the highest levels of government.
Most of the payments went to police, judges and other local officials, but Afghans also were asked to bribe teachers in public schools and doctors and nurses in government hospitals.
The report by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime comes as the U.S. and its partners develop plans to bolster President Hamid Karzai so he can restore public trust and turn back a resurgent Taliban. American officials have long maintained that public outrage over government corruption and inefficiency has driven many Afghans into the ranks of the insurgents.
Karzai has acknowledged that corruption exists, but says the problem has been exaggerated abroad and occurs in many countries. He has maintained that the international community in Afghanistan also is guilty of corruption, wasting aid money on overpriced consultants and kickbacks.

Finding New Views Of Williamsport Falls
According to the sign Williamsport Falls is the tallest waterfall in Indiana. I have visited this site a few times, and each time I try and find a new composition to show the area. For most of this trip I focused on doing that with my drone, but I did set up my tripod a few times. This was one of the more interesting views that I had that day.
Trying A New Preset
Of course now with the new profiles in Lightroom the whole preset concept may be on the way out. This is one of my presets that I called Sam’s Piano. It is a very light and easy black and white that I really like.
My Seventeen Favorite Drone Shots of 2017
If you had to pick one thing about my photography that changed in 2017 it had to be my usage of a drone. I got my drone shortly after the new year, and I knew that I would overuse it at the beginning. I made a special folder on my website with that in mind. When I started HDR photography I would HDR everything. I used HDR on dogs, beer bottles, and even a pizza. When you have a new toy you tend to play with it too much. That was the case of me with my drone this year. I made some good photos with it during the course of the year. I also made some terrible photos with it just to get out and fly. As the year calmed down a bit so did my usage of the drone. It has now become a tool in my bag to use. I have some ideas that I have been sitting on for a while now with the drone so maybe it needs to come out of my bag a little more this year than it did at the end of last year. Here are my seventeen favorite drone shots from 2017.
This is the first shot that I made with my drone after I purchased it. It was a cold day and I wanted to go somewhere with few people in case I did something wrong. We went to the local park where I was able to fly my drone with nobody around me. This was the result of that trip. It will never win any awards, but it was the start of me finding what I liked to do with a drone.
17. One thing that the drone allowed me to do was to be somewhere else. I live in an area surrounded by houses and trees. When something amazing happens in the sky I have a very narrow view to look for it. With the drone I was able to go up and above everything else to find moments like the one above. The double rainbow photo is made by stitching together six separate shots. This taught me that I can use a lot of the techniques that I use on the ground in the air.
16. This is the home that I grew up in. At the end of the month the house will change hands to someone else, and they can bring up their family there. I love this house because it has so many memories in it. At some point though you have to let things go and let others make memories there too. I like that I was able to make a shot of it with my drone to get the lay of the land so to speak. As I put up my countdowns this week you will see more from here I would bet.
15. One of the fun things with the drone is to go overhead and find patterns. Here as I covered a yoga group on the Myers bridge I was able to go above everyone to make a cool shot. I wanted to see all of the colors of the mats. The straight down look was one that I really like. It is just a new way to look at life. You will see it much more before this countdown is over.
14. Here at the Indianapolis Museum of Art you can really see how the straight down view makes a huge difference. Those people running by the benches probably didn’t realize that they formed a skeleton. From overhead it is obvious. This year was all about experimenting with the drone to find what I liked about it, and what seemed to work. This was one of those days where I was just experimenting. Continue reading “Top 17 Drone Shots of 2017”
Using the DJI Phantom 4 Pro at the Potholes
One site that I never get to enough is the potholes near Attica, Indiana. This is a unique geographical area where the water has made a very cool path through a ravine. I have seen many photographs of it from different angles, but none from above. I wanted to take my DJI Phantom 4 Pro over the top to get that top down look. I think that you could really get a good view of them that way. The light was not cooperating though as the sun came out ruining my idea. That is okay as it just means that I will have to go back and try again! The best part about photography is that sometimes even a fail is a win. You an make a couple of pictures that you like, but the main photo that you had in mind doesn’t work out. Now I get to go back and give it another try on another day. I think that I will have a better plan this time to fly a little safer through the tree obstacle course.
Using the Lee Big Stopper to Create Ghost Water
One thing that I don’t use enough is my Lee Big Stopper. A few years ago this was a must have for me. I was always out somewhere that I could have used it. Of course when I finally got one I was always shooting sports, and not using the Big Stopper. This year I need to get it out more. It has a permanent place in my quadcopter bag which is always with me so I won’t have any excuses. Here it adds a little to what would have been a rather boring photo.
Taking a Different Path
When I was making the above photo I was thinking about how most of the water takes the same path over the rocks here. In fact it has done it for so long that it has cut that path into the rock. Only a small portion of the water comes down a different way. I thought that this is a perfect metaphor for the last couple of years in photography for me. I spent that time doing the same things over and over and banging my head into a wall trying to make something happen. This year I decided to pull back a bit and go back to photographing everything that is interesting to me. I have really had a great start to the year, and I have had a much easier time writing the blog when it is not constantly game recaps. I needed to get out of the rut to help make myself a more creative photographer. I would like to think that when I do shoot sports know that it shows a bit.
Catching Williamsport Falls at a Good Time
Lately I have found myself back at a lot of places that I visited in 2011 and 2012 as I was getting serious about photography. These are the places where I learned a lot of the tricks that I use today. I think I have been doing it so that I can fly my drone over them to get a different vantage point. I made a few photos of the falls from many vantage points this time though. One thing that I have learned over time is that the photo that you think is great on site may not be the one when you get home. By exploring your options you find new angles that you may never have thought of. The composition above was one that I liked, but you lose scale this way. The water falls about 90 feet, and you cannot really tell that by this photo. A well placed person or identifiable object would help show that scale. I went to the falls with Trevor Mahlmann with the thought that the falls would be going good with all of the recent rain. We were right as we had a good stream to photograph.
Flying the DJI Phantom 4 Pro Over Williamsport Falls
One reason to head back was to use the DJI Phantom 4 Pro to try and capture a new angle of the falls. On my first visit the path was closed so my only photos were from the top of the trail head. Now I have many different angles to look at, and the drone really helps that out. I had this top down view in mind right away. I wanted to show the trail that the water has carved over time to get down to the bottom. It really is amazing the power water has over time.
Going Live on Facebook Again
I thought that this would be a great place to go live on Facebook from. It was a unique view, and something that many people may not know about. What I didn’t realize was just how much the sandstone walls would mess with my signal. Out of the four minutes or so I was live only about two minutes of that were archived. That meant that I was glitchy for about two minutes of the broadcast. The two minute video is concise, and at times seems like it was cut for time on purpose. Maybe Facebook knows that I am long winded and did that to save everyone time.
Leaving Something to the Imagination
One thing that I wanted to do on the shoot was to leave part of the falls out of the frame. Sometimes you can count on the person looking at your photos to finish what you have started. I have said it before, but I am a completionist. I like to see everything in my photos. I have been working this year to leave a little to the imagination. I think a photo like the one above is a good part of a story. It gets in a little closer to something that you know already. As a stand alone piece it could be interesting as well as you have to work on it a bit in your mind.
Photo of the Day
Before my trip to Maryland I decided to try out my ND filter close to home to see what it could do. I knew that an ND8 filter would not give me too much in broad daylight so I had to use cloud cover to help me out as well. The potholes at Fall Creek Gorge near Williamsport really gives you many opportunities to try and slow down the water. When water is slowed down by using a very slow shutter speed you give it a dreamy quality. I really had fun trying this process out, and it really helped me out greatly when I made my way to the ocean. I will have a couple of those shots that I took in the next few days as I go through my pictures from the trip. For once I have not gone through every single photo yet. I usually look through my pictures right away the night I take them. I was the kid that had his baseball cards opened in the car on the way home. I usually do the same with my pictures, but I took this opportunity to spend some time with the family rather than going through pictures. I have found many that I liked during the trip, and I was pleasantly surprised with how some snapshots turned out.
The first part of this process was to change the image to black and white. I used the HDR black and white (light) preset by Matt Kloskowski in Lightroom 5 to start off. From there I made a highlight, temperature, and blacks adjustment to get the photo where it needed to be. This was actually a very quick edit. Those are the best kind. I did use my ND8 filter on the scene though to get the silky look to the water.
New SmugMug Site
Yesterday SmugMug rolled out a new design for their site. I have been using SmugMug for a little over a year now, and I finally feel like I am part of the site. I was basically just using it as a dump site for my photos in the past. Now I have designed a layout that I like with some links to other places to see my work. I will link to my new site here so that you can visit it if you wish.
New SmugMug site
Behind the Scenes Video
Below is a video that I made at the potholes on the day that I took this picture. I thought that it would be a good idea to use my GoPro Hero 3 to make a video of the short trip to the potholes. I will try and do this for more and more of my shoots just so you can see a bit of what goes into the photo.
Photo of the Day
I was amazed at how different the landscape looked once I descended into the potholes at the Fall Creek Gorge. I went from driving down a rural road to something that looked more like it was in the tropics. That might be the pull that keeps me going back to the gorge. It is really hard to make pictures like this without traveling very far, so I feel lucky that it is only about an hour from my door.
This picture was one where HDR was needed for sure. Most of the scene was easily visible, but some of it really was deep in shadows. I wanted to show what I saw when I stood on this site. I took the three images that I bracketed at -2, 0, and +2 on site, and ran them through Photomatix. Usually I take the 32 bit file back into Lightroom, but I didn’t like the way that it turned out that way. I decided to edit the photo in Photomatix as I used to. In those days I would just work off of the Painterly preset that came with the program. I liked the look it gave me, but it was not very realistic. This time though I took what I have learned since then, and moved the sliders on my own. I think this end result is much more believable, and in the end I like it much more. I did take it back into Lightroom 5 to perform a couple of slider adjustments to it. The first one was to add some of the blacks back in.
Behind the Scenes Video
The day that I made these images I had my Go Pro mounted onto my camera. I made a short video of my trip that I have included below. I like the idea of these videos, and I hope to make more in the future.
Photo of the Day
Yesterday I spent the morning in between Attica and Williamsport at the Fall Creek Gorge which is better known as the Potholes. This is a great nature preserve that I have been to one other time. Yesterday though the water was down a bit allowing me to navigate much easier through the area. Of course it was thundering with a heavy rain not too far away so all the tranquility could be washed out very quickly. I moved very quickly to get the pictures that I wanted before getting out of there, and back to higher ground. Just down the road the skies did open up, and I wonder how fast the water was moving once the storm rolled in.
This is where I can have some fun again. I took some bracketed photos in order to make some HDR pictures, but here I just tweaked my RAW file for the metered exposure in Lightroom 5. I used an HDR preset in Lightroom to get the image close to where I like it to be, and then I tweaked the sliders a bit.
One big piece of technical data is the way that I made the water smooth out here. I used a 0.8 ND filter so that I could shoot with much longer shutter speeds. In broad daylight this filter would not really help me too much, but under cloud cover in a canyon it was perfect. It allowed me to blur the water, and let it make its natural pattern apparent. I love the idea, and I need to see about getting a darker filter for my trip to Ocean City.
On Location Video
I thought that I would try something new. Actually I mounted my Go Pro on my camera during the ARCA race a couple of weeks ago, but I have not gotten around to putting the video together yet. This video is a bit rough, but I like the idea of what I can do with the Go Pro mounted on my camera. It really does allow you the reader to follow along with me as I make some images. I plan on doing this more in the future so look for more videos. The video from the ARCA weekend is so big that it will be a massive project that I am not sure I am ready for yet. Maybe I will have it ready in a week or so. When it is I will post it here. You can also subscribe to my YouTube page to be notified when I upload a new video. I would like to try this same approach while photographing roller derby and other sports. I wish that I had this idea during the spring to give you a birds eye view at Purdue. Maybe this fall I can just start fresh during the new year. Enjoy the video that is directly below this paragraph.
Photo of the Day
Tonight I was in Williamsport to watch a high school basketball game. Of course I took my camera, but for some reason things were just not going well for me. I have had that happen before where I seem to be just a step slow. The last game that I shot I thought I was on it, but not tonight. I did get some good pictures, but I had this idea for a wide angle shot. I have seen in before in magazines, but part of the learning process is to try everything. I decided to give this baseline image a try. My original idea was to do it remotely with my Rebel while I shot the game normally. Since I didn’t have the correct cable for that I spent a good part of the second quarter of the JV game waiting for the action to come to me. I really needed a bunch of action in this corner of the court or this would not be an interesting shot.
I really would not normally have taken this shot, but the gym was a very interesting older facility. When I walked in I was not pleased with the lighting. Of course part of that lighting is what gave this shot its charm. As I said I shot for a while during the JV game trying to get this image, but the players were not cooperating. What were they thinking staying in the offense? Didn’t they know art was in progress on the far wing? I went back down during the varsity game hoping that I would have another shot at making this image. I didn’t immediately get low enough, and on the first possession of the game the play that I wanted happened. Of course I did not get the shot. It was a while before the play came near me again. When it did my settings failed me. I was in aperture priority mode, and the picture was too dark. From there I did what I should have done very early on, and went to full manual mode. I ended up with this picture of a player passing the ball down low, and I decided that I had my image for the night. I will have to try this again when I am not missing so much of the action doing it.
Not much was done here in post. I simply imported the shot with the light sports preset into Lightroom with the rest of the shots from tonight. After import I got rid of the vignette around the frame to start off. It made the edges way too dark here. After that all that I did was to up the highlights, and bring back some of the shadow detail.
Today while out on a photo safari I stumbled upon this waterfall in Williamsport, Indiana. I actually was really into trying to photograph some shops a couple of hundred feet away from this. I found the entrance as I was turning around to head back home. I knew that I wanted to photograph it, but was leery of how the falls would look in HDR. Of course a lot of people use long exposures to soften the water so I thought why not give it a try. I experimented trying three different techniques on this, and of course the first one is the one that worked. There is a trail that leads down so that you can see the falls up close, but the trail was closed. That normally would not have stopped me, but I would not have made it with the shoes I had on with the muddy trail. I guess I will have something to look forward to down the road. You can’t see everything the first time. I know you might be asking why the bonus shot without an actual shot today? The answer is that I knew I was using two shots today so I posted this one first. Look for the other shot shortly. I had a good day shooting today. At least for me. More of my shots can be found on my Flickr page with the link on the blogroll at the bottom of the page.

The Acts of the Apostles (Ancient Greek: Πράξεις τῶν Ἀποστόλων, Práxeis tôn Apostólōn; Latin: Actūs Apostolōrum), often referred to simply as Acts, is the fifth book of the New Testament; it tells of the founding of the Christian church and the spread of its message to the Roman empire.
Acts and the Gospel of Luke make up a two-part work, Luke–Acts, by the same anonymous author, usually dated to around 80–90 AD. The first part, the Gospel of Luke, tells how God fulfilled his plan for the world's salvation through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah. Acts continues the story of Christianity in the 1st century, beginning with Jesus' Ascension to Heaven. The early chapters, set in Jerusalem, describe the Day of Pentecost (the coming of the Holy Spirit) and the growth of the church in Jerusalem. Initially the Jews are receptive to the Christian message, but soon they turn against the followers of Jesus. Rejected by the Jews, under the guidance of the Apostle Peter the message is taken to the Gentiles. The later chapters tell of Paul's conversion, his mission in Asia Minor and the Aegean, and finally his imprisonment in Rome, where, as the book ends, he awaits trial.
The First Epistle to the Corinthians (Ancient Greek: Α΄ Επιστολή προς Κορινθίους), usually referred to simply as First Corinthians and often written 1 Corinthians, is one of the Pauline epistles of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle says that Paul the Apostle and "Sosthenes our brother" wrote it to "the church of God which is at Corinth".[1Cor.1:1–2]
This epistle contains some well-known phrases, including: "all things to all men" (9:22), "through a glass, darkly" (13:12), and "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child" (13:11).
In Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, he again refers to himself as an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God and reassures the people of Corinth will not have another painful visit but what he has to say is not to cause pain but to reassure them of the love he has for them. It was shorter in length in comparison to the first and a little confusing if the reader is unaware of the social, religious, and economic situation of the community. Paul felt the situation in Corinth was still complicated and felt attacked. Some challenged his authority as an apostle and compares the level of difficulty to other cities he has visited who had embraced it, like the Galatians. He is criticized for the way he speaks and writes and finds it just to defend himself with some of his important teachings. He states the importance of forgiving others, and God’s new agreement that comes from the Spirit of the living God (2 Cor. 3:3), and the importance of being a person of Christ and giving generously to God’s people in Jerusalem, and ends with his own experience of how God changed his life (Sandmel, 1979).
