Critical Thinking Examples
POINT and ventilation pipes, shafts, etc., to dispersed
March 5, 2021 February 27, 2020 adminCritical Thinking
POINT SOURCES (POLLUTION) – clearly defined locations for pollutants entering the environment, for example, sewage (drain pipes), fumes (chimneys), etc. Contrary to non-point sources.
Point sources are emissions of pollutants in one narrowly concentrated place, which has comparable in length and width. To this type include, for example, the emissions of pipes, shaft and ventilation shafts. The harmful substances released from point sources should not be superimposed on the other in the distance of two heights of the building (on the windward side).
Sources of environmental pollution are divided into concentrated (point) and dispersed. To the point smoke and ventilation pipes, shafts, etc., to dispersed – the ventilation lights of the workshops (several of them), rows of closely located pipes, open warehouses, etc. Sources of pollution can also be continuous and periodic action.
Linear sources of emissions have a significant length in the direction perpendicular to the wind and are located in the windward circulation zone. Linear refers to point sources for which the areas of impurity distribution are within the adjacent half of the winded circulation zone (open window openings, technological lines and equipment, etc.)
As in the case of point sources, the predicted values of concentrations from linear sources can be determined from the expected values of wind speed and atmospheric stability, and also from the value of the ejection using the above formulas.
By location, sources of emissions should be divided into high and low. To high include point sources – pipes, the height of more than 3.5 Yaed (NZA – the height of buildings near the pipe). According to experiments at such source heights, it is possible to neglect the influence on the propagation of impurities of the deformation of the wind flow caused by structures. The distribution of harmful substances also has little effect on the turbulence of the flow, formed during detachments at the sharp edges of the building, and the turbulence of the atmosphere itself is the determining factor.
The degree of pollution of the atmosphere depends on the amount of emission of harmful substances and their chemical composition, but also largely on the characteristics of the emission source – the source height above ground level, speed, volume and temperature of the gas ejection from the mouth of the tube, unorganized source size at the plant site location of the source etc. In accordance with this, the sources of air pollution differ in the power of the outburst (powerful, large, small), the height of the ejecta (low, medium and high), the temperature exiting gas (hot and cold). There are also mobile and stationary, organized and unorganized, point and area sources of pollution. The peculiarity of the enterprise as an object of nature protection measures is the heterogeneity and dispersal of emission sources
The main difference between a point source and a linear one is that the first one is characterized by the maximum impurity concentration at the source axis, for example, a torch, whereas for the second one there is a constant concentration of pollutants at any point of the surface layer of industrial sites.

Toni Braxton's Youngest Son, Diezel Braxton-Lewis, Graduates From High School
Soul songbird Toni Braxton can probably "Breathe Again" now that her son has just recently graduated from high school.
According to Atlanta Black Star, the son of recording artist and reality TV star, Toni Braxton, and ex-husband and former R & B band Mint Condition's Keri Lewis, has graduated from high school and is on his way to the popular HBCU Howard University. Diezel Braxton-Lewis has graduated from Fusion Academy, which is a private school that is based in Los Angeles, California. The high school customizes in-person, virtual, or hybrid learning for its students.
Braxton took to her Instagram account to show off the accomplishment of her youngest child as he is ready to take the next step in his education goal.
"Congratulations @diezel.braxton! Mom is so proud of you. 💜 Howard University here he comes!"
A post shared by Toni Braxton (@tonibraxton)
Lewis also attended his son's graduation and congratulated Diezel on his Instagram account as well.
"Congratulations young King!! Words can not describe how proud of you I am @diezel.braxton!! Howard University next!!"
A post shared by Keri Lewis (@_keri_lewis_)
According to Essence, Braxton had discussed Diezel being diagnosed as autistic as a young child and then in 2016, disclosing that he was no longer showing symptoms of it.
In an interview with OK! in 2011, she used to blame herself for his diagnosis.
"It's been rewarding to see how he's grown, but I remember when I first found out. I remember blaming myself; I thought it was my fault," she said. "I wish I knew what triggered it. Still, often, as a mom, I blame myself. I didn't take my vitamins every day … maybe it was the medications I was on before I got pregnant.
"They haven't figured out what triggers it, but whatever it is, I don't care, find a cure. Help my kid; help all the other kids."

Imagine my surprise to wake up on the morning of October 4th, only to learn that Mount Washington had their first dusting of snow. I'd almost be willing to bet that last year's snow-pack hasn't yet entirely melted! Nonetheless, Mother Nature is gearing up to wallop the West Coast with another epic snowy season.
So will Mount Washington annihilate the 15-metre record set last year? Only time will tell, but I have no doubt that those slopes will be buzzing with anticipation over the coming months! Mount Washington Alpine Resort opens for winter operations on Friday, December 10, 2010.
The resort is located 30 minutes above the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. WestJet, Central Mountain Air, Pacific Coastal Airlines, and Island Express service the Comox Valley Airport (YQQ). To find out about accommodation and package information, call Mount Washington Alpine Resort at 1-888-231-1499 toll-free or locally at 250-338-1386. Surf to their website for additional information including the live snow cam and information on season passes.
I had no idea! Already?! Amazing. I love Mt. Washington, it is definitely the hidden gem mountain of BC.


The news about the war in Spain spread from the Spanish workers in the dockyard. Jack, who had spent three days in jail in Manchester for fighting against fascists during a meeting held by fascist leader Oswald Mosley, felt that he had to take part in it.
The Aid Spain Committee believed that Jack would be more helpful staying in England, where he could make use of his contacts to raise funds and recruit men.
Another factor that increased his determination was the death of his good friend and anti-fascist George Brown at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
He was persistent and eventually it was agreed that he should go to Spain taking with him a group of brigaders and a letter of support from Ernest Bevin, the leader of the T&G union.
In the cold of winter, February 1937, the group crossed the Pyrenees in the dead of night. The Non Intervention Agreement signed by the British and French governments made aid for the Republican government illegal. Once in Barcelona, Jack Jones handed over the letter and joined a group of trade unionists on their way to the front.
The lack of food sticks in his mind. He said, "We had to do a lot of training but we had very little food. We lived on beans and a lot of coffee. Technically we were supposed to get paid by the Republican government but the cash was scarce.
Badly wounded, he spent the night on the battleground until he was sent to a hospital in Barcelona. Doctors told him that the fighting was over for him.
He was welcomed as a hero back in Liverpool. In his absence, his colleagues from the union had raised enough money to donate an ambulance to the Republicans.
Aware that there were more pressing needs than the lack of specialist vehicles, Jack took over.
His persuasive skills enabled him to fill a ship that would unload in the Spanish port of Bilbao to the astonishment of the locals. The same operation would be repeated twice more.
At the same time Jones was battling in the British political arena for the improvement of the conditions for transport workers.
This was a cause he continued to fight for throughout his life becoming the leader of the T&G in 1968.
Today, at the age of 93, he is the head of the International Brigade Memorial Trust.


Parents can expect to see advances in pre-K, tutoring and special education first, among all of the recommendations of a statewide education reform panel, according to its namesake chairman, William "Brit" Kirwan.
"What parents will see is just a steady drumbeat of improvement in the experiences that their children are having in the schools," Kirwan told Capital News Service.
The Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, or Kirwan Commission, finalized in December its recommendations and costs to fix large achievement gaps, boost school funding for poorer students, and improve teacher retention for Maryland public schools from 2020 to 2030.
Determining the geographic distribution of the funds is the next step for the commission, which presented an overview of its $3.8 billion plan to a joint legislative committee on Thursday.
"We will see a school system in Maryland that will be the envy of the country and perform at the level of the best performing systems around the world," if all the recommendations are funded, Kirwan said.
Kirwan said the commission wants $325 million to jumpstart the program this year; Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, R, has allocated $235.8 million in his fiscal year 2020 budget proposal.
Kirwan said the commission is focusing on five major policy areas to be incorporated into the Maryland school system over the next 10 years: Investing in early childhood education; elevating teaching into a high-status profession; creating college and career-ready pathways; ensuring all students have equal access to education; and implementing an oversight board for accountability.
"We have to think of this as a carefully quilted package of initiatives that fit together as a whole," Kirwan said.
Steven Hershkowitz, policy director of the Maryland State Education Association, said under current funding formulas, free public pre-K is only available to 4-year-olds at income levels 185 percent of the poverty line or below.
Hershkowitz said with the Kirwan plan, free access for public programs would also include 3-year-olds, and expand to income levels at 300 percent of the poverty line or below.
An expanded pre-K program and revamping how college preparedness tests works by creating a 10th grade test that determines career readiness would create new pathways to success for students, Hershkowitz said.
Hershkowitz said the teachers union is more supportive than frustrated by the Kirwan recommendations, but said he is concerned about requiring National Board Certification for teachers.
He said there is no state that has come close to making all teachers reach the "gold-standard," of certification.
Kirwan told lawmakers that Massachusetts, which launched education reform in 1993, was an example for the committee's recommendations.
The changes increased state aid to schools, set higher goals for academic achievement, and required more accountability in the education system, three points the Maryland plan includes.
However, Sen. Arthur Ellis, D-Charles, said in Massachusetts, minority communities did not excel following the changes; a study released in September found black and Latino students trailed behind white students in reading, grade and income level.
"We have a lot of low income, minority, rural communities left out of the progress," said Ellis.
"A kid shows up and they're hungry, they're not going to learn," said Ellis.
Hershkowitz said Kirwan's planned investments into a community-school model would be prioritized for areas with high concentrations of poverty.
Sen. Jack Bailey, R-Calvert and St. Mary's, said a 2016 study showed recommendations for St. Mary's County would cause a 5 percent increase in funding, but still put them on the same level playing field as other counties.
He said equality was one of the most important recommendations, and told lawmakers that in the plan, more resources would be portioned to schools with high concentrations of impoverished students.
Finding a revenue stream is the third stage of the Kirwan plan, and would be up to the Legislature, Hershkowitz said.
"Education, education, education," would be the Legislature's top priority for the 2019 session, Senate President Mike Miller, D-Prince George, Charles and Calvert said earlier this month.
Legislators have tossed around multiple ideas on how to raise the revenue required for the commission, from legalization of marijuana to sports betting.
Miller and House Speaker Michael Busch, D-Anne Arundel, have both entertained the idea of legalizing and taxing recreational marijuana.
But Delegate Maggie McIntosh, D-Baltimore, said last week she is concerned about budgetary consequences with the state losing an estimated $1.3 million to $1.5 million a day due to the government shutdown.
"I think we have to be careful, and we will be," said McIntosh.
Kirwan said he recognizes the General Assembly has to deal with the realities of spending affordability and said he hopes they will do all they can to fund the recommendations.
Kirwan said Maryland's economic future is dependent on a well educated workforce, and that high quality education is the only path out of poverty.
"We can't afford not to do this," said Kirwan.

1- HEALTH EDUCATION: I believe that every one of us can be curious about his body, its proper functioning, what makes us healthy and what are the possible threats that can make us ill. Information are everywhere but what is right, what is wrong, what to believe and whom to follow? This magazine is your right source: being written by myself, a doctor, and including articles developed by guest doctors from USA and Lebanon.
2- PROMOTING HEALTH AND PREVENTING DISEASES:When the right knowledge is spread and made available for the public, the next step would be to spread directions about preventive measures that every one of us should follow in order to stay healthy and disease free. My campaigns are tailored according to the need of each subgroup and simplified to make sure the message is reaching the audience the way it is intended to. You need help? That's what I am here for! You need to know what are the best brands surrounding you? I will be straight forward about it! You want to know what to avoid? I will definitely let you know… Afterall, by enlightening the public about health and diseases, we can lower the incidence rates of diseases!
3- REDUCING MEDICAL ERRORS: That would be the third and last step in my mission through STAY SAFE magazine. After all the information, education, guidelines, and tips; the patient is equipped with all necessary tools to keep good tract of his health and life. We live in an era where patients are worried about the integrity of healthcare professionals and establishments. From another angle, most medical errors are occurring because of the following: the patient is not being very clear about his symptoms, the doctor is taking full responsibility over the choice of treatment, and lack of awareness. The scenario where patients are fully passive in the choice of their fate has to stop. STAY SAFE magazine will encourage and guide patients in becoming a part of their decision-making step when it comes to their health.
This campaign envisions the middle east population as becoming a group of well-informed individuals, having equal rights in health and treatments and walking steady into a healthier, happier and longer future.

Q: How to increase the default number of Postgres processes? Disclaimer: I'm relatively new to Postgres.
On my production EC2 DB server, I'm experiencing high CPU usage on two of the five CPUs, ultimately resulting in latency for users of my application.
I've noticed that Postgres appears to only run two processes by default. How might I increased the default number of Postgres processes and thus allow for better spreading out of the load?
I'm using Rails/ActiveRecord on the application server if it makes a difference.

A: If you want more backends (the processes that actually process queries) running, connect more clients.
Postgres spawns a separate backend for each connection.
Beyond that, what your asking makes no sense if you know how Postgres internals work.
I suggest you start by reading and understanding how Postgres uses processes.
Then when you're done reading that go read about how to go about optimizing Postgres performance properly.

The Impeachment of Warren Hasting 1788-1795
The Road of Politics has a lot of Potholes and certainly no true friends
Warren Hastings
Eliza de Feuillide
Henry Thomas Austen
As mentioned a couple posts ago Warren Hastings, who was the first Governor of India, is a fascinating Regency Era study since many believe him to be the natural father of Eliza de Feuillide, who married Henry Thomas Austen, the brother of Jane Austen.
That connection, provides many of those who love novels of the Regency, and Jane Austen, a connection. Real history, interacting with our literary giantess.
As with the OJ Simpson trial, a few years ago, this trial between 1788 and 1795 was the big court case of the times.
What we see is that the door to a greater discussion of what was happening in India and what the East India Company was doing came about.
Prime Minister Lord North
Hastings became Governor General of India in 1773, after 23 years with "The Company," The East India Company. Appointed by Prime Minister North whose government was also the party in charge when the British lost the American colonies.
Sir Phillip Francis, the sore Loser
A great deal of the foundation of the impeachment trial was based on the governing Calcutta Council that Hastings led as Governor General. He had one man who was in opposition to nearly all that he did. Sir Phillip Francis and he disagreed so much that they even fought a duel, which Francis was wounded in. Francis then returned to England and began to raise questions about Hastings conduct. He found support in the Whigs who were in opposition to Lord North's government.
After this, the Second Mysore War came, when Mysore thought to take on the British while they were heavily involved in the American colonies. The war ended with the status quo from when it started. However, back in England much was made of the company's mismanagement, and thus Hasting's position.
William Pitt the Younger
The many wealthy nabobs who returned to England were quite unpopular, and Francis' attacks did not make Hastings any better received.
Then after the Fox government fell, Charles James Fox attacked Hastings as well. Pitt made no mention of Hastings in introducing a new India Act in 1784 and this was seen as the government not supporting the Governor General.
Hastings returned to England in June of 1785. On the return journey, he wrote 'The State of Bengal,' the defense of his conduct. He expected to be attacked by Parliament and the press when he returned, but it to be short lived. King George III gave him an audience and he received a unanimous vote of thanks by the East India Company when he returned. He even thought he might get an Irish peerage. Edmund Burke who is regarded as the father of Anglo-Conservatism, supporter of American Independence and opposed to allowing the French such rights, though, had other plans for Hastings.
In reviewing the material of what the politicians were up to, it seems that Hastings was a nice little scapegoat for the opposition party to embarrass Prime Minister Pitt's government. Francis (and one can only surmise that he hated that he lost to Hastings in India, and then was wounded by him as well in their duel) made eleven specific charges against Hastings.
Hastings in later years
William Pitt finally said, after defending Hastings against all charges, that perhaps one action, the punishment of the Rajah of Benares, was excessive. This led to Hastings being arrested on May 21, 1787 and taken to the House of Lords to hear the charges against him. Not often had the house of Lords had an Impeachment trial. There has been only one other since this case.
Hastings trial began on February 13th 1788. It took place in Westminster Hall Members of the House of Commons were seated to Hastings right, the Lords to his left and a large audience of spectators, including royals in boxes and public galleries.
Edmund Burke began the proceedings with a long public address. He took four days and treated it all seriously. However most thought the trial resembled a social event.
Westminster Hall in the Palace of Westminster, London, November 1808
The Coronation Banquet of King George IV in Westminster Hall, 1821 (A very Regency Era representation of the site that was used to try Warren Hastings)
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Hastings was granted bail, despite Burke arguing that he would flee the country with the wealth he had allegedly stolen from India. Other leading Whigs made speeches over the coming weeks against Hastings. Proving that the trial was not about wrongdoing so much as political maneuvering. Charles James Fox spoke against the man as well as Richard Brinsley Sheridan was a playwright and a poet. Sheridan served as Treasurer of the Navy 1806-1807 and also was the owner of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. He is known for his plays such as The Rivals, The School for Scandal and A Trip to Scarborough.
Interior of Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Circa 1808. Plate 32 of Microcosm of London (1808) The play is Coriolanuis.
In total nineteen spoke against Hastings as part of the Impeachment Committee. With Sheridan and so many gathered to witness, it does sound like a theatrical production. While at first, the Whigs had gotten public sympathy on their side over the issue, Sir Phillip Francis having worked so hard to vilify Hastings. But the trial dragged on for months, then years.
When the French Revolution began in 1789, Sheridan, obviously attuned to his audience as a member of the theater community said that he was "heartily tired of the Hastings trial" despite being one of its instigators. Doubt now had permeated into society about Hasting's guilt. James Gilray the cartoonist depicted Hastings as the "Saviour of India" and he was being assaulted by Burke and Fox.
"Saviour of India"
Lord Cornwallis
Then on April 9th, 1794 Lord Cornwallis who was the second Governor General of India gave testimony in defense of Hastings. He reported that the natives of India respected Hastings. When asked if he had "found any just cause to impeach the character of Mr Hastings?" he replied "never".
William Larkins the former Accountant General of Bengal then testified that there were no irregularities with Hasting's administration. The Whigs had hoped that they would have had a lot of testimony showing corruption but many came forward as character witnesses for Hastings.
For the trial of Warren Ha(stings)' (includes Edmund Burke; Charles James Fox; Sir Philip Francis; Warren Hastings), by James Sayers (died 1823)
Lord Chancellor Lord Loughborough
23 April 1795 the Lord Chancellor Lord Loughborough presided over the delivery of the verdict. A third of the lords who had attended the opening of the trial seven years before were now dead. Only 29 had sat through enough evidence to pronounce judgement. Most of the charges, there were 16, Hastings was found not guilty unanimously. On three questions only did five or six peers say he was guilty, but 6 of 29 meant that 23 at least found him not guilty of those charges. It was an overwhelming verdict and had been expected for some time.
Edmund Burke died 2 years later and believed in Hasting's guilt to his dying day. He believed that the Lords acquitting Hastings would lead "to the perpetual infamy of the House of Lords."
If Hastings had been super wealthy, the impeachment broke him and left him with debts of £70,000. The government and the East India Company did come to his aid in the end and helped to pay for it. The Lawyer made out like a true Nabob of India, though. Richard Shaw(e) had his mansion Casino House in Herne Hill built from his fees. He had John Nash and Humphrey Repton as the architect and Landscaper.
In 1812 Hastings was asked by Parliament to speak as an expert on India. After which, all the members rose in acknowledgement. Something that they only did for members of the Royal family.
As more came out, the role of Pitt abandoning the support of Hastings, and allowing the impeachment to go forth was seen as a Political power play. Pitt feared that he was to be tarred by the same brush wielded by those trying to ruin Hastings. And in the end, the total exoneration of Hastings proves he had never been guilty but helped to begin the transition of rule in India by the East India Company, to the British Government.

It's a hallmark of the big issues in this era that they are always drawn along party lines and quite often without any logic or merit.
Brinsley Sheridan was a notorious womaniser, and purveyor of the most spiteful gossip. Yes, a fine playwright--absolutely. But he was an obsessive gambler too, wildly feckless, and a woeful manager of Drury Lane and many accused him of setting fire to his own theatre in 1812 in order to claim the insurance.
Equally, many credit his high ranking in the Whig party as the reason the Whigs were unelectable during this period. He was just as spiteful about his own party members as he was about the Tories--so people tended not to trust them at all.
A very interesting post. Thank you.

Thanks MM
I will have to do more research on Sheridan, especially the next time I include scenes in Drury Lane in my stories.

Am I hallucinating? I've seen two different screens when switching to Admin page.
Currently, I do not see "My Individual Page" in Royals but do see it it A-D (locked). But I swear I've seen it in Royals. Both are 3.1, both have Colors update installed. A-D is set to Pink, Royals to coffeeandcream. (The Admin page isn't affected by themes, I know). It is nice to go to my record rather to home to get to a record but never got around to suggesting. It was totally unexpected to see it.
It means you don't have an individual page attached to your user in Royalty.
AH, missed setting that again. Will add myself to the Queen Mom.

Carolina Bueno (São Paulo, 28 de outubro de 1974 - São Paulo, 4 de janeiro de 2021) foi uma arquiteta, urbanista e empresária brasileira. Foi sócia-fundadora do escritório de arquitetura franco-brasileiro Triptyque, sendo a única mulher e membro não-francesa do grupo de quatro fundadores.

Biografia
Carol Bueno nasceu na cidade de São Paulo no ano de 1974.

Em 1999, formou-se arquiteta na École d'Architecture Paris-La Seine (ENSAPVS) vinculada a Universidade de Paris, na capital francesa. Também estudou em outros países europeus como a Suíça e a Itália.

Carreira
No ano seguinte à sua graduação, fundou o escritório de arquitetura Triptyque, junto com outros três colegas de faculdade: Grégory Bousquet, Guillaume Sibaud e Olivier Raffaëlli, todos franceses. O escritório nasceu da ânsia dos franceses de conhecerem novos países e ter contato com uma nova arquitetura - e a de Carolina de voltar para casa. O escritório é considerado um dos mais importantes do país, fazendo uma ponte entre o Brasil e a Europa.

No ano de 2018, o escritório saiu da Avenida Europa, nos Jardins, para mudar-se para a região central de São Paulo. Sobre a mudança de endereço, Bueno comentou "meus clientes falam: 'É lá na cidade, vocês estão na cidade, né?'. É, a gente está na cidade", em entrevista ao Design Lab TV.

Seu trabalho é conhecido pelo uso de madeira em construção de prédios comerciais, a ideia de "arquitetura tropical", como ela chamava. Os prédios compostos por Carolina envolvem o diálogo entre o meio urbano e a natureza. Possui obras assinadas em cidades como São Paulo e o Rio de Janeiro.

Além de sua trajetória como arquiteta e urbanista, Carol Bueno foi uma das fundadoras do bloco carnavalesco Acadêmicos do Baixo Augusta, no qual foi a responsável pela cenografia de todos os desfiles.

Morte
Carolina Bueno faleceu na madrugada de 4 de janeiro de 2021, aos 46 anos. A morte foi confirmada por seu escritório por meio de nota: "A Triptyque Architecture manifesta profundo pesar pelo falecimento de Carol Bueno, 46 anos, sócia fundadora da Triptyque, depois de um ano de corajosa batalha por sua saúde. A arquitetura perde hoje uma profissional brilhante, engajada na transformação por cidades mais abertas e inclusivas e pelo respeito ao meio ambiente."

Carolina lutava contra um câncer no cérebro, por mais de um ano. Ela deixou uma filha, Zoe, então com oito anos.

Siegfried Paperweight
The Metropolitan Opera has collaborated with Caithness Glass to create a limited edition collection of four exquisite glass paperweights —one for each opera in the Met's critically acclaimed production of Richard Wagner's epic Ring cycle.
Featuring a green speckled, leaf-like pattern, our Siegfried paperweight is inspired by the innovative sets and digital imagery used to to represent the peaceful green forest where Siegfried, the ultimate hero of the Ring, kills the dragon.
Each paperweight is a unique work of art, designed and individually handcrafted in Scotland by skilled artisans to the highest possible standards.
Every piece bears the title, "Siegfried" etched on the bottom. Approximately 3" diameter. Avoid direct sunlight. Caithness Glass gift box included.
A Met Opera Shop Exclusive
Diameter: approx. 3" wide
Caithness Glass gift box included
Special exclusive edition
One in a collection of 4 paperweights. Each sold separately.
Handcrafted in Scotland
Siegfried, composed between 1858-1871, is Richard Wagner's third installment of the Ring Cycle. The four operas in the series include
Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold), Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), Siegfried and Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods).
It is the coming-of- age story of the ultimate hero and his role in the struggle for supreme power. The title role is especially daunting. He is portrayed as an impetuous teenager who knows no fear, and his vocal lines encompass a vast musical range—from heroic to reflective to tender and romantic.
This three-act epic is set in mythological times, when gods and other creatures contend for dominion over the earth.
Orphaned at birth, Siegfried learns his true identity and fulfills his destiny to repair the Nothung sword, kill the dragon and eventually jump through a circle of fire to become Brünnhilde's savior and lover.
Siegfried's role is one of the most difficult in opera for a tenor as he sings for almost four hours within a wide range of dynamics, from the heroic to the reflective to the romantic.
The Met's production of Siegfried in its 2018–19 season featured minimal otherworldly landscapes with digital imagery to achieve a modern visual interpretation of the composer's masterpiece.
It premiered at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus on August 16, 1876, as part of the first complete performance of The Ring Cycle.
The Met's landmark production, directed by Robert Lepage, premiered over the course of the 2010–11 and 2011–12 seasons. The DVD release of its Live in HD presentation won the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording.

"Confidence replaces worry when you get a safe driving assessment!"
The Association of Driver Rehabilitation Specialists (ADED) recommends that every person get evaluated for adapted driving and that adaptations and modifications are recommended individually. A person undergoing driving rehabilitation will actually receive a prescription for vehicle modifications, just as one is prescribed a leg brace by a sports medicine doctor, or oral medication from an internist.
Whose overall physical ability has changed following an accident or progression of disease or illness.
Sometimes an elderly driver must be re-evaluated following a change in perception or other physical ability such as vision. It's not only a suggestion to have a driving assessment in these cases, but absolutely imperative in order to ensure personal safety for all drivers on the road. Becoming road-ready involves preparing both the driver and vehicle.
A driving rehabilitation program will arm a driver with whatever training is needed, if any, as well as any prescriptions needed for vehicle modification. This gives a driver confidence that he or she will be driving safely, and therefore, free to hit the road!
First, a qualified driver rehabilitation specialist (in a driver rehabilitation program) will make a clinical evaluation of physical functioning, perform a visual, perceptive and cognitive screening, and where applicable, conduct a wheelchair and seating assessment.
Then, depending on ability, an on-the-road driving evaluation is performed, using adaptive equipment when appropriate.
Based on demonstrated driving performance, a prescription for vehicle modification is written, which includes a description of the vehicle and any mobility aid (wheelchair or scooter) used.
Driver's education will include sufficient practice and training to enable the driver to operate a motor vehicle with newly prescribed equipment (if any), at a level meeting the need for a driver's license.
Finally a total fitting and operational assessment is performed in the modified vehicle.
There are two types of professionals who conduct driver evaluations: CDRS and DRS. The CDRS is a Driver Rehabilitation Specialist (DRS) with additional training and certification. A DRS typically has a health professional degree (such as occupational therapy) with additional training specific to driver evaluationa and rehabilitation. CDRS individuals pass certification exams and are required to complete continuing education to maintain their credentials.
Please see this document, Spectrum of Driver Services and Driver Rehabilitation Program Services which defines the range of driving programs, ranging from driving school for healthy drivers to driver rehabilitation programs. It assists consumers in understanding the differences of driver services where to go for each.

DC Universe Online To Add Skimming | SOE Live 2014
At the DC Universe Online (DCUO) keynote at SOE Live 2014, it was announced that the DC Universe superhero MMO will soon add the new movement variant, 'skimming'.
Those familiar with the DC Universe character Mister Miracle will be familiar with skimming, but for those not-so-savy to the lore, it is essentially flying by method of aero-disks attached to the feet. These disks allow for aerial motion without the actual power of flight. Think of it like skating, but in mid-air, where your body is positioned vertically rather than horizontally.
The new skimming option is coming with a range of new animations to account for the different orientation and physics of the disks. Whereas Superman's flying power is a very controlled, innate skill, the nature of the foot-based attachment necessitates a more loose, full-body set of animations. We weren't able to see it in motion, though the DCUO developers assure us that all of the changes and additions being made look very cool.
Important to note is that skimming is simply a vanity feature. It won't alter skill sets, the amount of damage done, or add any new feats. Players can look forward to skimming in the DCUO world in the near future.
For more SOE Live 2014 DC Universe Online news, read up on changes to future expansions and the future UI revamp.

Millwall v Sheffield Wed – Championship
Millwall v Sheffield Wed - Championship
On 12th of February, the 32nd round of Championship will take place at The Den, home of Millwall, where they await Sheffield Wed in their 2nd H2H match of the season.
Millwall are currently 20th in the league with an overall record of 7-9-14 and a 1-2-2 record in their last 5 games. With 30 points in the league, they are only 4 clear of the relegation zone, so any point they can grab will be valuable. Looking at their last 5 games, Millwall have won against Ipswich (2:3) on January 1st, lost to Blackburn (0:2), drew against Middlesbrough (1:1) and Rotherham (0:0) and lost their most recent match against Swansea (1:0). At home, Millwall are holding a slightly better record of 6-5-4 this season and a 2-2-1 in the last 5 games. Looking at the last match against Swansea, Millwall were outplayed in the 1st half, when Swansea held the ball for 73% of the time, had 7 goal attempts and 3 shots on goal. On the other side, Millwall held the ball for 27% of the time, had 3 goal attempts and 0 shots on goal. Not surprisingly, Swansea managed to score the opener and although the goal came late in the 1st half (43rd minute), it was still a goal that got them a well-deserved lead. The second half looked better for Millwall, who even had some chances to score a goal of their own, however, all their attempts went wide. Swansea on the other side also failed to convert their chances which meant the match ended with a final score of 1:0.
The visiting side, Sheffield Wed are currently 16th in the league with an overall record of 10-9-11 which puts them 9 points in front of Millwall. With 39 points, Sheffield are relatively safe from the relegation zone, however still far away from reaching the top 9, which to be fair they won't manage to do this season. Looking as Sheffield Wed recent games, they are currently on a 3 game unbeaten run. They managed to defeat Wigan (1:0), Ipswich (1:0) and most recently played a draw against Reading (0:0). In the match against Reading, Sheffield had a total of 20 goal attempts and 7 shots on goal, while Reading had 12 goal attempts and 5 shots on goal. Despite 32 goal attempts from both sides combined, we did not see any goals.
Neither of the teams really impressed me in the recent matches. Calling out a winner here is though, while I believe Millwall has an edge due to home advantage and desperate need of points, I am not too convinced Millwall can go on and win. To be fair I am not convinced Sheffield can win neither. Looking at how the teams played in the recent matches there is a clear problem in scoring. Sheffield Wed scored only 1 goal against Wigan and Ipswich and while that was enough for them to win, it's less than I had expected from them. Especially if we take into consideration how bad Wigan is when it comes to defending goal in away games and how bad Ipswich is overall. On the other side, Millwall has scored only 1 goal in their last 4 games and only 1 in their last 3 home games. With passive approaches from both sides to their games I can not imagine this match seeing more than 2 goals, In fact, I would be surprised if we even see 2 goals in the 90 minutes.
Prediction: Under 2.25 goals

Participation in every day life develops a feeling of worthiness in a person called upon to share it in an active way. Children become not only users of the world in which they live, but also producers. The basic experience of being able to change and transform the environment gives the person a feeling of personal worth that remains forever. "I am worth something" is added to the previous feeling that "I can do things", and then becomes "I can do important things".
At this point offer a varizty of choices that range from bad to good. It's usually best to start out with the poor choices. Each time a choice is offered, go to step four, forcing the youngster to state the consequence in his/her own words. This means that you will be going back and forth between step three and step four.

Nuggets' JaMychal Green gets first-hand account…

Nuggets' JaMychal Green gets first-hand account of Nikola Jokic's brilliance: "He's a different type of talent"
AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver Post
Nikola Jokic (15) of the Denver Nuggets fires an outlet pass against the Minnesota Timberwolves during the first quarter at Ball Arena on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021.
By Mike Singer | msinger@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: January 6, 2021 at 6:00 a.m. | UPDATED: January 6, 2021 at 10:39 a.m.
JaMychal Green is a quick study.
After nursing a calf strain the first four games of the season, Green's formal indoctrination to the Nuggets came Tuesday night. When Nikola Jokic corralled a defensive rebound with minutes left in the first quarter of Denver's eventual win, Green took off in transition. He'd experienced Jokic's passing brilliance, but never like this.
Jokic took two bounces and heaved a full-bodied bounce pass under Naz Reid's outstretched arms and ahead of Minnesota's No. 1 pick Anthony Edwards. The pass was sublime, one of Jokic's NBA-leading 12.8 assists per game.
🍔🍔🍔🍔 pic.twitter.com/SVS7JWTiFy
— Mike Singer (@msinger) January 6, 2021
It gave Green an easy, uncontested dunk to aid his season-high 17-point night.
"You always love a guy like JaMychal because he's gonna give you everything," said Jokic, whose 35-point, 15-rebound, six-assist gem paced Denver's second win in a row. "He's gonna give you heart. … Whatever he does on the floor, it's gonna be 100 percent…. If you want him to run, he's gonna run as fast as he can."
In three games, Green's been a revelation off the bench. His 3-point shooting has added a valuable floor-spacing element while his rebounding instincts have helped plug a leaky defense. At 11 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, Green's been everything the Nuggets hoped for and more. Green's also added a physicality to the defense that Jokic long admired, dating back to his time with the Grizzlies and more recently, the Clippers.
If Green does the dirty work, Jokic does the art work. His unique blend of passing, playmaking, interior dominance and touch is a package Green's never seen before.
"Not at the five position," Green said. "He's so special. He's a different type of talent. His touch around the basket, he's able to shoot the ball, bring the ball up like a guard. He's the best passer in the league right now."
And yet, even in just a few games, Green's already noticed the one quibble some have with Jokic.
"Sometimes he's too unselfish," Green said. "Sometimes, you want him to score but he's always about playing the game the right way. You can only respect that."
Jokic's dominance has even begun the slow, steady drumbeat of an MVP chant.
"At this point, what more can I say about him?" said Will Barton. "I tell him before every game, 'Just go out there and win MVP. You could be the best player in the world if you want to.'
"It's all up to him," Barton said. "He just can't be stopped. He's one of those players … with his shooting touch, his post moves, ability to put the ball on the floor, then pass. … It's nothing that you can do to stop him. When he's aggressive, it's over with. Right now, he's just putting it together. It's great to watch. We need him to be this guy."

Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic offers lifetime endorsement of newcomer JaMychal Green
Jokic, though, has never been impressed with his own accolades and doesn't much care to indulge thoughts of winning MVP. Just one more reason he's a different type of superstar.
"I never think about that," Jokic said, a mantra he's repeated so often throughout his career it's become believable. "I'm just thinking about the next game. … When you think about the future, that gives you a lot of pressure that you put on yourself."
And why would he waste time with that?

Q: kotlin coroutines precedence of execution I need help understanding the outcome of the following 2 pieces of code
1st snippet
fun main() = runBlocking {
    launch {
        println("Task from runBlocking")
    }

    coroutineScope {
        launch {
            println("Task from nested launch")
        }

        println("Task from coroutine scope")
    }

    println("Coroutine scope is over")
}

And, the 2nd snippet
fun main() = runBlocking {
    launch {
        println("Task from runBlocking")
    }

    println("Coroutine scope is over")
}

The outcome of the 1st snippet is:
Task from coroutine scope
Task from runBlocking
Task from nested launch
Coroutine scope is over

The outcome of the 2nd snippet is:
Coroutine scope is over
Task from runBlocking

So, the question is why were the statements printed in that order?

A: For the 1st snippet you are using coroutineScope which, as you can see from the documentation is defined as a suspend function, so it's blocking the current thread and "Coroutine scope is over" is not printed until coroutineScope block has completed.
For the 2nd snippet the string "Coroutine scope is over" is printed before "Task from run blocking" because its println it's executed in the main thread, and launch which runs in a worker thread has not finished yet its job.
fun mainOne() = runBlocking {
  launch {
      println("Task from runBlocking")
  }

  // coroutineScope is defined as a suspend function, so it's blocking the current thread
  coroutineScope {

      launch {
          // worker thread, slower than main thread, printed after "Task from coroutine scope"
          println("Task from nested launch")
      }
      // main thread, printed before "Task from nested launch" within CoroutineScope
      println("Task from coroutine scope")
  }

  // main thread is now free to run and it prints the string below
  println("Coroutine scope is over")
}

fun mainTwo() = runBlocking {
    launch {
        // worker thread, slower than main thread, printed after "Coroutine scope is over" due to concurrency
        println("Task from runBlocking")
    }
    // main thread is running and prints the string below before launch job has finished.
    // If you put a delay here you'll notice that launch job gets completed before "Coroutine scope is over"
    // E.g delay(2000)
    println("Coroutine scope is over")
}

Hope this makes sense :)

A: Calling launch just puts a task on the queue while calling coroutineScope suspends the current coroutine until the new coroutineScope completes.
This is what happens in Snippet 2:

*

*puts "Task from runBlocking" on queue

*prints "Coroutine scope is over"

*executes sole task from queue (prints "Task from runBlocking")
This is what happens in Snippet 1

*

*puts "Task from runBlocking" on queue

*coroutineScope (a suspend function) is called! The suspend function is called immediately and the mainCoroutine will not proceed until the suspend function completes

*puts "Task from nested launch" on queue

*prints "Task from coroutine scope"

*suspends execution since coroutineScope can't complete until it's child in the queue completes

*first task in queue is executed "Task from runBlocking"

*second task in queue is executed "Task from nested launch"

*new CoroutineScope completes since its child task just completed! Back to main coroutine!

*prints "Coroutine scope is over"

Stranger Fruit Meets Rotten Fruit: Robert McCulloch and the Michael Brown Shooting
March 15, 2017 Thomas L. Knapp	Leave a comment
A makeshift memorial placed during protests — photo by Jamelle Bouie via Wikipedia
As the 2014 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson was litigated in the court of public opinion, Ferguson's police department released video which appeared to show Brown robbing a local store a few minutes before his fatal encounter with Wilson.
A new documentary, Stranger Fruit, includes additional, mostly previously unnoticed, footage which seems to call that interpretation (and the attendant perception of Brown's character) into question. Filmmaker Jason Pollock believes it shows that what happened was not a robbery, but an exchange of marijuana for cigarillos.
I'm no more sure what to believe about the footage and its import than I am of precisely what happened that day between Brown and Wilson. But I am sure that the last person entitled to have his opinion on the matter taken seriously is St. Louis County, Missouri prosecutor Robert McCulloch.
McCulloch calls Pollock's theory "just stupid" and "just nonsense." But it was McCulloch whose epic, and apparently intentional, mishandling of the formal investigation made speculative inquiries like Pollock's inevitable. Stranger Fruit exists because Robert McCulloch wanted neither to do his job nor to be seen as not doing it.
As a prosecutor, McCulloch had discretion to do one of three things.
He could charge Wilson with a crime, presenting evidence to sustain the charge in a public preliminary hearing.
Or he could take the case to a grand jury where the evidence would be considered in secret.
Finally, he could decide not to pursue the matter further if he didn't believe the evidence was there to convict Wilson.
At all times when taking any of these three courses, McCulloch's job remained the same: To pursue charges if he believed he could prove the case, to not pursue charges if he didn't.
Instead, McCulloch set up shop as Wilson's defense attorney behind the closed doors of the grand jury proceedings. For all intents and purposes he quit his job as prosecutor and concentrated solely on NOT doing what he was supposedly there to do, which was to get an indictment.
McCulloch's machinations created the impression that "the fix was in" — because it was. His priority wasn't to do his job, or to reach the truth, or to serve justice. It was to exonerate Darren Wilson because, and only because, Wilson was a police officer.
McCulloch has a long and legendary record of bending over backward to ensure that no police officer is ever held responsible for his or her actions, even when those actions are clearly criminal.
Granted, his personal history plays a role. When he was 12, his father, a police officer, was killed in the line of duty. But that's no excuse. He's supposedly a prosecutor, but instead works tirelessly to exonerate accused cops, including the killers of two unarmed men at a Berkeley, Missouri restaurant in 2000.
Wilson may or may not be one of those rare bad apples we always hear about from defenders of police as such. McCulloch undoubtedly is. Stranger Fruit, meet rotten fruit.

Plastic, rubber combine in critical gear shift component
Material News July 15, 2013 plasticsinfomart
German automaker Volkswagen (VW) continues to consolidate its part supplier and this is leading increasingly to development partnerships. Apparently, VW would like to adopt, together with its partners, high added value solutions through a one-stop operation. Here, medium-sized companies which, as specialists, offer "very interesting technical solutions" are coming into play. Once such processor is KKT Frölich (Osterode am Harz).
Among the specialties of KKT are shift gates and locking device assemblies used in them. The locking device assembly enables smooth gear changes in manual transmissions. One part employed in this assembly is an elastomeric part developed jointly by VW and KKT that inhibits the transmission of vibrations from the gearbox to the gear knob. The multi-component part was formerly a die-cast component.
In all, the locking device assembly comprises seven individual components. Two of these components are combined in an insert molding process. Base bodies injection-molded from 30% glass fiber reinforced polyamide (PA) are manually inserted into a 2×32 cavity tool mounted in a rubber molding machine and over-molded with nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) sheaves, each weighing five grams, in a four minute cycle time.
While the operator feeds one set of 32 cavities of the two-station horizontal shuttle mold with sheaths and PA parts, the NBR material is vulcanizing in the vertical elastomer molding machine. "With a cycle time of just four minutes, the operator must act very quickly," says KKT technical director Klaus D. Wahle, "but we will soon develop an automation solution, so that the process can run independently of the operator – it payser.
The locking device assembly includes metal springs and other thermoplastic elements. KKT manufactures all elements in this assembly and the entire shifting gate itself, which has a total of 32 parts. KKT delivers assemblies which are ready-to-mount.
Among the latest machinery for this process is the vertical MTF2500/280ergonomic with PC5000touch control from Maplan GmbH (Ternitz, Austria). The Maplan machine, optimized for operation height, is said to be ideal because of its accessibility. "It is very user friendly and also, through the use of the latest technology, very energy efficient", says Wahle. The energy advantages arise from a "Cool-Drive II" servo-hydraulic system and the temperature control devices in energy-saving DCI design. Mold hal shuttling, meanwhile, is powered electrically.
"On the basis of a 5 working day model, we produce 6-7 million parts per year by using three elastomer machines," says Wahle, in an indication of machine productivity. "There are different versions of the component which can be delivered as a finished part or assembly part for all vehicles with gearboxes," he adds. The components find their way into all VW group vehicles including Audi, Seat and Skoda. KKT also plans to establish a joint venture near Denver (CO) that is scheduled to go into operation in 2014.

Medical marijuana dispensaries to open in Va.

No way could this be correct.
That is City Hall's response to a finding by the state auditor of public accounts that Richmond is one of five localities — including Bristol, Petersburg and two unidentified counties — that are facing the most severe financial stress.
The Free Press disclosed the finding in the Aug. 31-Sept. 2 edition.
Seeking to erase any concerns about Richmond's financial health, Mayor Levar M. Stoney's financial staff pushed back against the APA conclusion, describing the financial stress test that state Auditor Martha Mavredes used to rank the state's localities as creating a "distorted" picture of localities' fiscal health. They also said it favors small localities that are not growing and also don't do much borrowing.
While Ms. Mavredes is suggesting that Richmond's concern may be overblown, City Finance Director John Wack, in an email Tuesday to the Free Press, made the case against the APA finding.
As evidence, he pointed to the APA list, noting "five of the 10 counties with the worst scores on the (APA stress test) are actually rated AAA by the national credit rating agencies.
Henrico County's bonds have a triple A rating; Emporia received an A- rating on the most recent bond issue for its Industrial Development Authority. Richmond has a double A bond rating.
The bottom line: The APA test results "do not appear to correlate with what we believe are the best determiners of 'fiscal distress,' " Mr. Wack stated.
Instead of relying on the APA finding, "We feel that the nationally recognized credit rating agencies have developed methodologies that better reflect a government's ability to pay for its obligations," Mr. Wack stated.
Ms. Mavredes did not respond directly to Mr. Wack's comments after the Free Press provided her with a copy of his email.
She stated that the aim of her office's stress test is to establish an early warning system to "identify possible local fiscal distress" that did not duplicate the work of the bond rating agencies and was distinct from the Commission on Local Government's model.
"Our model is intended to be a starting point to flag localities that warrant additional follow-up," she stated.

Q: Salesforce Code Library as Managed Package? I'm working on an internal code library for our company, and my main requirement (which I defined myself) is that the code that you check out from the library code repository will be disconnected from that repository to become part of the project once you do the check out. That is, you want to be able to commit the library to the project's repository.
I have created the library as a Salesforce project, so that if someone wants to make changes to the library they can check it out as an independent project and make changes this way.
My initial idea was to use a build tool (Ant, Maven, Composer...) to retrieve the library code from the repository and add it to a project this way. However, it turns out that none of these build tools support checking out the project from a Git repo (what in svn is an "svn export") without having it become a working copy. And our code repository (Atlassian's Stash) does not support pulling down the code in a tar or zip file. Oh, and we do not have an internal Maven repo, so that's not an option either.
So I have decided that I'm going to release the library as a managed package. I'm facing some issues here as well, which is what I wanted to ask the community about (although I'm open for suggestions in what I have covered so far).
The problem with my managed package is that I'm not being able to use the classes in the package from my test project's Apex code. I have made the library classes and methods global, and I have successfully installed the package in my test org. I can see the classes (though not their content of course, since it's a managed package) under the "Referenced Packages" section of my project. But when I get an "Invalid Type" error in the Force.com IDE when trying to instantiate one of the classes in the library, no matter I use the prefix or not. That is, either of these lines of code gives an error:
SoliantGenUtils__Emailer emailer = new SoliantGenUtils__Emailer();
Emailer emailer = new Emailer();

Even though in the installation details I can clearly see that it says "SoliantGenUtils" under the "Namespace Prefix" column, in the "Installed Packages" section.
At this point I'm a little confused. I have worked with managed packages a lot, but I guess I have only referenced classes in a managed package from code also inside the managed package. But I thought you could reference it also from outside the package. Isn't that one of the uses of the "global" keyword?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
PS: Another option could be to use an unmanaged package, but that's not good because those cannot be versioned, and obviously we want the library to have version numbers

A: The syntax for referencing an apex class in a managed package is different than SObjects. Instead of a double underscore you'll need to use a period, as in:
SoliantGenUtils.Emailer emailer = new SoliantGenUtils.Emailer();

A: Check that the Version Settings tab for the Apex Class is referencing a managed package version where the Emailer class is global.

I assume the constructor is also marked global along the methods you want to invoke.
You will need to use the managed package namespace prefix when calling into the installed managed package.

Interview: Photographer Braves All Weather Conditions to Capture Beautiful Range of Wildlife
By Jessica Stewart on April 26, 2019
Montana-based wildlife photographer Tom Murphy has spent decades capturing the dynamic beauty of animals. Highly influenced by his time growing on a cattle ranch in South Dakota, Murphy is no stranger to hard work and dedication. This has led him to Antarctica, Africa, and—most frequently—Yellowstone National Park, where he braves all weather conditions to paint a full picture of life in the wild.
This tenacity—and his keen eye for animal behavior—has caused his work to be featured in National Geographic, Life, Architectural Digest, and Newsweek, among other publications. Since the 1980s, he's shared his passion for wildlife photography with others, leading photography expeditions through Yellowstone and other exotic locations. It's during these journeys that the self-taught photographer is able to instill the same respect he has for animals in others, teaching them to sit back and observe rather than force a photograph.
Particularly interesting are Murphy's photographs of animals during the throes of winter. Unafraid to stay with these animals even in extreme temperatures, Murphy's revealing vision of how moose, elk, bears, and fox survive the elements allows us to see their will to survive. Through his numerous books, calendars, and prints, Murphy lets us bring a piece of nature home and marvel at the results of his 40-year passion.
We had the chance to speak with Murphy about how he started his career, what inspires him, and what he feels most people misunderstand when it comes to animal behavior. Read on for our exclusive interview.
How did your childhood growing up on a cattle ranch influence your current career?
Having grown up on a cattle ranch, living and working there for twenty years, I was required to learn and perform all the tasks necessary to operate a successful beef cattle operation. The ranch is 7,500 acres of native grassland located in the central part of western South Dakota. The mid-continental weather is hot, over 100°F in the summer, and cold in the winter, usually with several weeks of 20° to 40° below zero temperatures. The wind blows there at least 300 days of the year. I learned to not only tolerate extreme weather conditions, but also to work in them. I walked in blizzard conditions when engines would not start and it was too cold to sit on top of a horse.
My goal in wildlife photography is to illustrate and tell the stories of wild creatures. The limiting season for animals is the winter. To tell the complete stories of animals' lives I need to tell their winter stories. Therefore, I had to not only see them in the winter, but also to live out there with them to some extent. My ranch experiences allow me to safely, competently, and truthfully observe and understand at least some of what they were doing.
Moose feeding along Beaverdam Creek
What caused you to fall in love with photography?
I recognized that photography could be a means to show others the beautiful, wondrous things I saw. I am completely self-taught and struggled on my own to make sense of things like depth of field and to learn why it is important to utilize that tool in every composition. I continue to love the challenge of making a meaningful photograph that gives others a glimpse into the lives of wild creatures and wild land. There are beautiful possibilities all around us all the time, so I will never be done looking.
Female bison on a winter morning
Can you share the story behind your image of a female bison covered in snow?
It was a clear morning and 30° below zero Fahrenheit. I got up at daylight and went out on foot, knowing things could be covered with hoar frost: twigs, grass, and animals. This cow bison was standing patiently in the extreme cold, quietly waiting for the temperature to warm a little before walking off to find breakfast. She did not shiver, she did not shift her weight or even turn her head for the twenty minutes that I watched and admired her stoicism.
Bull moose along the shores of Yellowstone Lake.
You spend a lot of time in Yellowstone National Park. What makes it such a magical place for wildlife photography?
Yellowstone contains most, if not all, of the wild creatures that have been native to that ecosystem for the last thousand years. Most of the Yellowstone, in spite of over 450 miles of roads strung around it, is de facto wilderness. The land and the creatures from microscopic cyanobacteria to bison, bear, and moose still live out their lives mostly unimpacted [sic] (unaffected) by us modern humans, so I have the opportunity to see and photograph this flourishing, healthy, and unique remnant of the wild earth.
Howling wolf pup
You've been leading photography expeditions since 1986. What do you enjoy most about the teaching process?
I love showing Yellowstone to like-minded people who are looking for natural beauty. I have studied and observed the stability, the dynamic changes, the regrowths, the reintroductions, and the recoveries and look forward to continuing to learn about this place myself and to try to encourage others to see that too.
Giraffe resting on a friend
Is there a dream scenario that you'd love to photograph but haven't yet gotten the opportunity to?
My dream scenario is any small or large story of a wild creature's life. Every day that I am out there, I see something there that I have never seen before. Sometimes I can make a photograph of that story that gives a hint of their bigger life story, and sometimes I enjoy the experience and the new knowledge without making a photograph at all.
King penguin colony
What is something about animal behavior that you think the public misunderstands?
The main misunderstanding I observe in other's time around animals is their perception that the animal is there for them. They think an animal is posing, they shout or clap to get an animal to look at them or they are offended when an animal turns its back on them and walks away. I consider myself a guest in their living room or dining room and try to behave like I would want someone to behave in my personal space.
Mountain gorilla looking at a baby
What's your best advice for people who are looking to get started in wildlife photography?
The best way to learn wildlife behavior is by just watching them without a camera. Where are they moving to and why? What reactions are triggered in them by weather, predators, time of day, noises, natural or unusual events? Which way will they likely travel across a landscape, relative to the wind, geomorphology, vegetation, snow cover, streams, the location of other creatures like or unlike them?
There are dozens of factors in any single instance. Let them go, leave them alone to make their own choices and you will regularly be rewarded with the privilege of witnessing segments of wild nature that will enrich your own life and help you understand your own place on this fragile, complex, amazing tiny earth.
