Q: why are estimated rows exponentially increasing with each join? summary
We have an Object-Oriented database schema that we query with Hibernate with:

*

*1 parent table (NAL_Actions)

*7 child tables (NAL_*)

If I want to query a couple of these "action"-objects we have to join all 1+7 tables together (because we don't know what type of child object we need) which isn't great but because of the query execution plan generated by SQL Server results in very slow queries (index scans with 2,5 million rows).
details
The parent table also has a foreign key (actionGroups) that according to the fullscan statistics results in 1.15 "action"-rows on average.
This query plan - edit, now also on: paste-the-plan is over estimating the number of rows for each subsequent table that is joined which I and statistics know is never more than two rows as all tables are joined on their (common) distinct primary key, which is also the clustered index, which means that the number of estimated rows cannot increase, as can be seen from this definition of one of the Child-tables:
USE [NAL_PRD]
GO

/****** Object:  Table [dbo].[NAL_Unblocks]    Script Date: 6/24/2020 6:04:40 AM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[NAL_Unblocks](
    [actionId] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [unblockingAmount] [decimal](5, 2) NOT NULL,
    [productSequenceNumber] [int] NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_NAL_UNBLOCKS] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
    [actionId] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[NAL_Unblocks]  WITH CHECK ADD  CONSTRAINT [fk_unblocks_actions] FOREIGN KEY([actionId])
REFERENCES [dbo].[NAL_Actions] ([id])
ON DELETE CASCADE
GO

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[NAL_Unblocks] CHECK CONSTRAINT [fk_unblocks_actions]
GO

As SQL Server falsely assumes the number of rows exponentially increases with each joined table it changes the join strategy for the last 3 tables:

*

*from: "clustered index seek + nested loops"

*to:   "clustered index scan + merge join"

This means that we need to scan the clustered index of a table of 2,500,000 rows instead of 1 or 2 index seeks
what I've tried so far

*

*hints work, e.g.: WITH(FORCESEEK) for every join, or: OPTION (LOOP JOIN) for the entire query, (but I cannot change the application)

*this leads me to suggest plan guides as the next option (for SQL Server 2016 - 13.0.5102.14) but although that works fine with sp_executesql the plan guide does not seem to take immediate effect in the application, although I took the SQL from the Query Store and updated the statistics (but maybe updating statistics was a false assumption so maybe I need to restart the application and/or drop the plan - but how without DBCC FREEPROCCACHE as I am limited to db_owner permissions, so not VIEW/ALTER SERVER STATE permissions? Maybe I should switch the application / the JDBC driver to use sp_executesql with prepareSQL=2 instead of the default (sp_prepare + sp_execute)?.

What I have not yet tried:

*

*upgrading to SQL Server 2017 to try adaptive query processing, should that fix this?

A: As you're using hibernate this is going to be a bit cumbersome. You can 'guide' the optimizer by telling him how to do the joins.
For example select * from a inner hash join b on a.x = b.x will tell the optimizer to do a hash join. It could also be a merge join or a loop hint.
This might result into writing the sql queries manually. Using hints should also be one of the last things to try. Your tables might change over time and the hints might not apply/be good for the performance at a later stage (mostly when switching from development to production).

A: To avoid having to change the application in all the different places where we use this type of queries and because of high urgency the customer agreed to enable the old cardinality estimator after which all problems were solved instantly:
ALTER DATABASE SCOPED CONFIGURATION SET LEGACY CARDINALITY ESTIMATION = ON;

I want to thank everyone for contributing their valuable time and knowledge to this question.

Earning it, to have it EDITORIAL 09/07/2010
Earning it, to have it
Malacañang propagandists are scrambling to portray the Aquino government as having gone through the crisis hump, still intact, with President Aquino still enjoying the trust and confidence of the international community.
Communications group chief for operations Sonny Coloma said what really counts is Aquino's policy of "good governance" and "transparency" that make the country attractive to super power economies.
What good governance was displayed when clearly there was, as the hostage crisis showed, and continues to show, through the Justice Department's probe of the botched rescue operations, that there was a huge crisis in leadership where both the local and national officials were clearly bereft of any and all direction from their leaders — especially from the Philippine President.
As for transparency, with all the blame game going on, and the cover-up they have been resorting to, to get the heat off them, where's all that claimed transparency?.... MORE

Apple polishing ways
State prosecutors have announced that they will be calling former President now Rep. Gloria Arroyo and her husband Mike as their first witnesses against former Social Security System (SSS) president Romulo Neri, the accused in the case of the alleged rigging of the ZTE-NBN deal.
But why should prosecutors want Gloria as their witness, when it is clear that she would say nothing against him? Her testimony, in fact, will tend to exonerate Neri.
As for Big Mike, what on earth can they get from him? Officially, he has no say in government business, or the presidential business, and unless the prosecutors have some kind of document with his signature or initials on it that would prove he had a hand in the ZTE-NBN deal, there is little, if at all, that the prosecutors can get from him.
As for the photographs of their playing golf with the Chinese ZTE officials, that is hardly incriminating — as far as proving he was involved in that deal..... MORE

Miraculous survival tales from New Zealand quake
CHRISTCHURCH — Miraculous tales of survival emerged on Monday after New Zealand's most damaging earthquake in 80 years hurled sleeping residents into their gardens and left others cowering inside collapsing homes.
Xavier Trousselot-Rhodes, 16, was asleep when the quake hit at about 4:35 a.m. on Saturday. He was tossed out of bed, through a disintegrating wall and into a pile of rubble on the ground outside, several meters (feet) below.
Despite his ordeal, the teenager suffered nothing more serious than cuts and bruises.
"I pretty much rolled (off the bed) and, as I rolled to the right, the wall gave way," he told The Press newspaper.
"I was just in my boxers, so I had nothing to protect me really, and yet the car I landed next to was written off. It looked like it had been through a war zone."
Xavier, who went to church on Sunday after his lucky escape, said it was fortunate his brother had decided to stay elsewhere on Saturday night because his bed was buried under rubble..... MORE

Clearly, now
This lola had wanted to move on and get into other things soon after the last piece in this corner flew out for printing, via e-mail. But the ink hadn't dried yet, as it used to be said in the days of literally ink and paper news, when came the leak about the mislabeled coffins of three out of eight who died in the hostage crisis of two weeks ago. I suddenly heard myself go, "Uh-oh."
The mix-up apparently took place in the morgue here in Manila, but was discovered in Hong Kong when family members discovered someone else in the coffins, after they'd all laid wreaths and wept over their dead in brief ceremonies held at the Hong Kong International Airport.
Ano ba ito, I asked myself, how are we ever going to get past this, will we ever? The sick of mind have made tasteless jokes warning Filipino travelers not to go to HK for the meantime, because nasty body fluids are supposedly put by Chinese cooks in bowls of congee and steamers of dim sum that we order. Titingnan n'yong biro ito, not quite, for the authors of the wisecracks have become so paranoid, they've started to believe the lie.
It's just as well that out now on Facebook is a five-minute plus video of young Hong Kong people initiating hugs with Hong Kong-based Filipinos whom they also give friendship notes on stick-on paper, while carrying makeshift placards proclaiming variations of "I love Filipinos!" out on HK Central....

What is the middle class? AN OUTSIDERS VIEW Ken Fuller 09/07/2010
What is the middle class?
The term "middle class" appears to be losing its meaning.
For some time, this outsider has been irritated by the American use of the term to describe people who in most other developed societies would be described as "working-class." At first I thought it might have come about because in the privatized, downsized, deregulated and outsourced land of the free anyone fortunate enough to be able to live a decent life with the earnings from just one job would be considered somewhat privileged, and therefore deserving of an appellation reflective of their status. But while the numbers in decent employment may indeed be shrinking, and the status of those working in as many "McJobs" as they can handle approaches that of the informal sector of countries like the Philippines, that's not the real reason.
There are, possibly, two explanations for the misuse of the term. For one, it would be in the interest of the economic and political rulers to persuade working people that they have a stake in the system that periodically plays havoc with their lives, and the appellation "middle class" is more likely to convey such an impression. Secondly, many workers fall for it, fooling themselves into believing that as members of this ill-defined "middle class" they're better off and more secure than mere "working-class" people.
That may not work much longer, because increasingly there is talk of a "middle-class crisis." A piece in the Financial Times ("The crisis of middle-class America") by Edward Luce on July 30 tells the story of a married couple who, despite their joint earnings of $70,000 a year, are "never more than a pay check or two from the streets." Their dilemma, says Luce, is partially due to the fact that the earnings of 90 percent of US families have been flat since 1973..... MORE

Political crisis leaves Nepal's Maoist fighters in limbo
DAHABAN — As a commander in Nepal's Maoist army, Ram Lal Roka Magar led his soldiers in more than 50 battles against the state security forces.
But for the past four years, the 38-year-old father of two has been biding his time in a military cantonment in a remote part of western Nepal as he waits for the country's warring politicians to decide his fate.
Magar is one of thousands of former fighters in the Maoist People's Liberation Army (PLA) still living in UN-monitored cantonments set up across the country after the war ended in 2006.
The arrangement was intended as a temporary solution pending a merger of the PLA and the national army.
But it has dragged on because the Maoists, now the main opposition party, and their political rivals have been unable to reach agreement on the issue.
The former fighters are free to leave whenever they want, and thousands have drifted away in the intervening years, ditching their PLA uniforms to return home to their families.... MORE

Bahrain presses terror charges against opposition leaders
MANAMA — Prosecutors have pressed terrorism charges against Shiite opposition activists in Bahrain, raising tension in the run-up to an Oct. 23 election in the Gulf state where a Sunni royal family rules a mainly Shiite population.
The charge sheet released on Saturday accused the 23 activists — 10 of them prominent opposition figures — of "undermining national security."
It alleged that the "leaders of the terror network" held secret meetings in Bahrain and abroad in a bid "to change the political regime through illegal means."
Most of the suspects are members of Haq — the Movement of Liberties and Democracy — a Shiite group which rejected as inadequate reforms intended to put an end to Shiite-led unrest that rocked the 35-island archipelago through the 1990s.... MORE
No PNP nego team, no intel, no manual —Yebra By Benjamin B. Pulta 09/07/2010
No PNP nego team, no intel, no manual —Yebra
To each his own thing, in negotiating releases of hostages, Philippine style.
Police hostage negotiator Supt. Orlando Yebra appeared before the inter-agency body investigating the Quirino Grandstand botched hostage rescue last Aug. 23 which resulted in the deaths of eight Chinese HongKong tourists along with the hostage taker, sacked police officer Rolando Mendoza.
Yebra admitted before the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC), that the Aug. 23 hostage-taking negotiation was a failure since lives were lost as he cited that the Philippine National Police (PNP) has no hostage-taking situation manual to guide hostage negotiators in dealing with this kind of serious scenario.
The country's image is getting worse internationally, however. Some 1,000 package tours to the Philippines after eight Hong Kong tourists were killed in a bus hijacking in Manila, have been canceled, China's state media said Monday
During the resumption of clarificatory hearings, Yebra, who was designated chief negotiator, also said the PNP has no official negotiating team to deal with hostage-taking situations.
At the same time, two IICR teams composed of prosecutors from the Department of Justice (DoJ) and officials from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) team left yesterday for Hong Kong to interview survivors as well as to possibly retrieve evidence that was inadvertently turned over to Hong Kong authorities.

DILG chief won't quit, didn't ask Noy to own up
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Jesse Robredo yesterday remained steadfast and refused to quit his post, even virtually blaming President Aquino for owning up to the responsibility over the hostage fiasco, beating him and other government officials who were involved in the botched rescue opera-tion to the draw.
In yesterday's hearing for the DILG's P86.9 billion budget, Robredo was grilled by lawmakers from opposing camps on the hostage rescue at the Luneta grandstand, where eight Hong Kong travelers were killed and several others seriously wounded.
Ilocos Norte Rep. Rodolfo Fariñas told Robredo it was rather ironic it was Aquino who had to be the first to own up the responsibility on the hostage fiasco when hisagency was supposedly calling the shots on the crisis.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) yesterday raised the red alert status to all military units in Mindanao to thwart any retaliatory attacks from the Abu Sayyaf group following the killing of three terrorists, including a sub-commander, midnight of Saturday in Sulu.

"We are actually on red alert in the whole of Mindanao," said Mabanta.
"The Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces are on alert because of the possibility that the brother may seek revenge," added Mabanta.

Aquino justifies US trip, hints big gains
President Aquino has said he has all the right reasons to proceed with his scheduled trip to the United States by the end of the month notwithstanding the fact that the country is still nursing the negative effects of the raecent hostage tragedy.
In a speech he delivered at the wake of his friend, lawyer Teodoro Macapagal, in Olongapo City the other day, Aquino said he is convinced that his US visit will bear fruit, hinting that it could possibly bring about "good news" for the country.
"Trust me. I even said that I'm not very fond of traveling especially in a time where our funds are limited and we cannot afford to good reason. I was convinced that there is a reason. We have a lot of good reasons to go to the US and when I come back, I look forward to announcing things that we can look forward to," Aquino said in his statement..... MORE

Sandigan to summon Arroyos as prosecution witnesses vs Neri
The prosecution is set to call former president, now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo and her husband, former First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo as its first witnesses against former Neda secretary and former Social System Security
administrator (SSS) Romulo Neri in the alleged rigging of the government's National Broadband Network deal with China's ZTE Corp.
Assistant Special Prosecutor III John Toralba bared that the former president would be called on to testify regarding the extent of Neri's authority as to the project.
Turalba stressed Arroyo cannot refuse to testify or comply with the order of the court under the law.
Neri was the director general of the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda) from 2006 to 2007 when the proposal for a national broadband network was submitted to his office for approval..... MORE

Senate gives way anew to IIRC, defers probe
By Angie Rosales
The Senate decided to give way again to the fact finding body on the bloody hostage crisis as it deferred yesterday a parallel investigation into the incident after the Department of Justice
(DoJ) requested its postponement to allow smooth proceedings of the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC).
Sen. Gregorio Honasan, chairman of the public order and public information Senate committees, said the separate inquiry on the incident, focusing on the broadcast media's role in covering hostage situations, originally scheduled to take place today, has been canceled. Today would be the second time that the Senate is postponing its inquiry into the Aug. 23
bloodletting that claimed the lives of eight Hong Kong residents in deference to the IIRC.
"The DoJ requested that we postpone the hearing because they will also be calling in (members of the) media. We will be having the same set of resource persons. They're the priority, we could wait," he said in an interview with reporters..... MORE

SC fears brain drain as Palace cuts judiciary's budget
The judiciary is on the brink of losing its justices and judges if the Aquino government continues to squeeze its meager budget.
According to Midas Marquez, Supreme Court spokesman and court administrator, the budget of the judiciary now is less than its budget last year which was less than one percent of the proposed P1.65-trillion national budget for 2011.
Marquez warned that the disposition of cases nationwide could be adversely affected with the inadequate budget given the judiciary.
"The judiciary has not been given even one percent of the national budget in the last four years and worse, there is a high probability in 2011 of a decreased budget," Marquez yesterday noted during the hearing of the House appropriations committee on the national budget for 2011.
The SC official lamented that Malacañang only gave the judiciary P14.3 billion instead of granting the proposed P27.1 billion.... MORE

New Downtown Location Planned for Victoria Fire Hall
and Emergency Operations Centre
Following a public hearing on October 24, 2019, Council voted to approve a rezoning application, a development permit application, and an Official Community Plan amendment to increase the density and add residential uses for a phased development that includes four development areas with four main buildings (12, 14, 15 and 17 storeys).
Mixed housing, including 130 units of affordable housing, will be operated by Pacifica Housing. Commercial and retail space, a public plaza and a new post-disaster building for Fire Hall 1 are included in the plans. Learn more.
On March 19, 2018, it was announced that a new Victoria public safety building will be built downtown under an agreement reached with local developer Dalmatian Developments Limited Partnership, a Jawl Residential and Nadar Holdings Ltd. venture.
The state-of-the-art, post-seismic rated facility will be located on Johnson Street as part of a new mixed-use development adjacent to Pacific Mazda.
The 41,700 square-foot facility replaces the current 26,700 square-foot fire headquarters building that has served the citizens of Victoria since 1959. The new facility will house fire and rescue services and Victoria's first purpose-built Emergency Operations Centre. In addition, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) has agreed to lease 3,200-square-feet of space from the City to operate a stand-alone facility for paramedics and four ambulances under a planned 20-year co-service agreement.
The proposed public safety building will be built to meet the upcoming changes to the BC Building Code standards for buildings designed to remain operable post disaster, which means it will be built to a seismic design load that is 50 per cent higher than typical commercial buildings that will be built under the new code's increased seismic requirements. After an earthquake, the new building will be able to be safely re-entered and used to deliver emergency services.
At a meeting on March 22, 2018, Victoria City Council authorized funds in its 2018 Financial Plan. The City will pay $33.7 million to purchase and own the turnkey facility as part of the broader development. Additional costs to the City will include off-site servicing, sidewalk improvements, equipment and project management, bringing the total cost for the project to $35.9 million. This will be paid for through available funds in the City's Debt Reduction Reserve. There will be no property tax impact and no grants required from senior levels of government. Under the agreement, the City will make an initial refundable deposit, with the remaining payment made upon completion and acceptance of the facility.
In February 2016, Council approved in principle using up to $30 million from the City's Debt Reduction Reserve for the procurement of a new Fire Department Headquarters at either the existing site or a new site identified through the Request for Qualifications market sounding process. The $30 million did not include funding that may be required for land purchase or any additional multi-use components such as BCEHS.
Dalmatian Developments is working with HCMA Architecture + Design, who has designed a number of recently constructed fire halls in British Columbia. Dalmatian's vision for the site, which includes lots on Johnson, Cook and Yates Streets, is a master-planned, mixed-use development.
To provide financial certainty and minimize project risk, a third-party review was conducted by Johnston Davidson Architecture, the firm that completed the initial needs analysis for construction of a new facility. The review looked at functional flow of the layout, systems, specifications and the operational performance of the proposed public safety building.
In addition, an independent Value for Money assessment was completed by PricewaterhouseCoopers comparing the negotiated deal with independent benchmark costing for post-disaster buildings, as well as the alternate option to build on the City's existing site. The costing comparison indicates this deal is fair and shows greater value for money and overall lower cost than the alternate option.
The current headquarters can remain at 1234 Yates Street while the new facility is constructed, saving time, money and, importantly, operational efficiency compared to identifying and setting up a suitable alternate temporary space if the City had chosen to build on site.
The agreement is subject to Dalmatian Developments bringing their overall project through the rezoning process, which includes the construction of the new public safety building.
The developer plans to submit a rezoning application to the City within the next six months. It is anticipated that if the land use process results in appropriate zoning of the property and the developer secures the necessary building permits, construction will take approximately 28 months.
Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps:
"We've taken an innovative approach to this project. We canvassed the private sector and said, 'We need a fire hall, what are your ideas?' What has come back is a fantastic project with a high-quality local developer that will see a fire hall built as part of a mixed use project that will be much more cost effective to the city than a stand-alone project, or rebuilding on the current site."
Victoria Fire Chief Paul Bruce:
"This is an inspiring development that will meet our needs today and well into the future, as we continue to pursue local and regional efficiencies in our effort to provide the public with the highest level of emergency services. The inclusion of an Emergency Operations Centre capable of managing hazard response specific to the City of Victoria is a practical and effective improvement to the management of emergencies on a holistic level."
David Jawl, Director of Development, Dalmatian Developments:
"We look forward to working with the neighbourhood and the City to deliver a development that we can all be proud of for many years to come."
Lance Stephenson, BC Emergency Health Services, Patient Care Director for Vancouver Island:
"In terms of location, this is absolutely ideal. The new centre is in the perfect location for us to get to patients in the downtown core. It's great to be partnering in this new state-of-the-art centre and an incredible opportunity for our paramedics."

About Victoria Fire Department Headquarters
The current headquarters building, built in 1958 and known as Fire Station No. 1, is home to a fuel station and 14 apparatus, as well as the Department's administration, maintenance, emergency communications and dispatch, fire prevention, investigation and community education divisions, and the Victoria Emergency Management Agency. The current location of Fire Station No. 1, in combination with Fire Stations 2 (650 Michigan Street) and 3 (740 Bay Street), serve the Fire Department well in providing City-wide fire protection coverage.
Over the years, the Department's operations have changed and expanded, and have outgrown the current space. Vehicle bays require alterations to allow for the size of the most recently purchased apparatus, and emergency power is insufficient. In addition, the building is not constructed to post-disaster seismic standards, potentially impacting the ability for fire trucks to respond in the event of a major earthquake.
Here's what the Victoria Fire Department headquarters looked like at its official opening on April 17, 1959.

Why would I end up using so much data in one week with my new iPhone while observing same Internet habits as before when I owned a much older IPhone? In particular, the category Browsing and Technology shows high data usage. I understand Browsing but what constitutes Technology?
Well, the answer might be you were using a much older iPhone. Was your previous iPhone a 5S or older? It would have used far less data for a smaller screen lower resolution screen Etc.
Also check to see if Wi-Fi assist is on or off in settings turn it off.
Wow. I wasn't expecting that old. Your current phone has 8 times the RAM speed, 3 times the screen resolution, 50% more screen. The old phone was 3G, now you have LTE speeds, which are several hundred times faster. Just upgrading from 3G to LTE would have increased data use by 2 to 3 times your prior usage. You're comparing a moped to a Ford Mustang.
I haven't seen a post like this since 2014 when most were upgrading from the 4 or 4s to a 5S. Even then the jump to LTE was cause for double to triple data use.
I know "normal" isn't what you want to hear/see, but this is very normal.
Also, your new phone is using newer versions of apps, that are NOT the same as the ones that worked on a 3GS. The old apps had to make due with the low RAM and storage. New apps are designed better, are faster and to use the higher res screen. You may think it's the same, it's not.
This has made me chuckle! I appreciate the explanation and it does make sense. What can I say? I'm a creature of habit...my Toyota Corolla is 17 years old...my previous iPhone was the 3 GS and I loved it...battery quit on me and I decided to upgrade. If the battery hadn't started giving me grief, I would have continued with the 3 GS. If I like something and it works well, I keep it.
Meanwhile, I am turning off everything that doesn't need to be turned on for the phone to function and I am keeping cellular data turned off except for when I am traveling and do not have access to WiFi. That should help a little, right?
One more question...I received the text message that I am now "throttled." I turned off WiFi to see exactly how slow things were connecting, and even in throttled mode, the connections seemed fast enough. How does throttling work? Am I throttled all the time until the next billing cycle or am I throttled only when too many people are accessing data at once and things bottleneck?
Typically, I use the phone for email, Facebook, Instagram, and checking news on the Web. And when I travel, I use Waze. I'm not into streaming music or videos. Is that why the connections still seem relatively fast to me even in throttled mode?
Since you have a 1GB plan, throttled means you are limited to 2G speeds until your next bill cycle. I guess you aren't used to fast speeds on your old phone, most people say the throttled 2G speeds are unbearable. Yes, leaving cellular data off will keep you from using up your data. Rather than going to that extreme, though, you can designate which apps are alllowed to use cellular data. Perhaps just limiting to a select few might work too.
And you gave a chuckle right back. After all the posts from people who have to upgrade each year, despite not haven't enough to pay the rent, you're a breath of fresh air.

And if this weren't enough, mostniphone users think Apple INVENTED facial recognition, wireless charging, and water resistance technology. Just buy a Samsung or a Moto.
Not to to mention Apple has the straight sided iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s, then sued Samsung for stealing their design, won, then copied the design Samsung and other androids have used all along.

Helpful ReplyHot!Past and present fishing days.
BOY-OH-BOY talk about making memories; all these years fishing and, I just tied my first "Willis Knot"!!!
I gotta get................... I think I'm feeling a case of happy tears.
now go fishing and give us a report!...did you get any reef runners?
No reef runners yet............. have to wait for the wife to order............. a new bracelet, ear rings or, sumthin!
ps...I just bought the wife a car..hehehe..I am in like flint!!!!
NOW THAT THERE JUST AIN'T FAIR............................. with a capital AIN'T!!!!!!!!!!!
NOW THAT JUST AIN'T FAIR.............................. with a capital JUST AIN'T FAIR!!!!!!!
BUT............ those pics sure tell a good story.
Sometimes evening fishing is fantastic too....... I guess it's a toss up !
My daughter prefers evening fishing too !
All these fish were released except for one. He's hanging on my man cave wall a nice 15 lb. trophy.
My favorite things! Looks like a great collection. we haven't been fishing the lake nearly as long as you and your wife have but sure hope to be able to add similar experiences to our memories over the next many years!
Nice pics and stories.... keep em coming.... This is Nemicolin , Pa. What a beautiful resort, full of bronze statues and collections.
How many turtles on this log????????
I'm counting 42...but no matter how wrong I am it is sure an impressive thing to see! Cool picture!
Your going to need more popcorn the Niagara River Show is on ....LOL ! This is a must on every fishermen's future hit list. Salmon , Steelhead , and Lakers roam these turbulent strong current waters. I've fished the mighty Niagara on and off for over 30 season's and introduced many friends to this wide open river. Once again I prefer to fish the shorelines but also have caught many fish from boats . It's truly an accomplishment to land these powerful fish from this Majestic Emerald River.
Drifting the current and hooking up. Lots of Lakers feeding.
Niagara has some nice size Lakers too ! We release all.
Browns also stage at the mouth.
great sea duck hunting there also!
More of the Niagara River fishing.............Lewiston N.Y. , Art Park area. Shore or boat the Niagara has a good mix of fishing year round. Boat fishing is easier and not as challenging as the shoreline. River clarity is controlled by Lake Erie winds. Light winds clear emerald river, strong winds expect cloudy green pea soup color, and head elsewhere. Snags galore, it's bottom is lined with tons of rocks and boulders and they are usually unforgiving . Learn to adjust and barely tap that bottom and you will catch fish. It's a hike down into the Devil's Hole area weather you walk the power plant road or take the stone steps down. The hike or climb out is much worse it's steep and will wear you out. I'm too old for that area now, but Art Park is still shore fishable. Back in the day we hiked that gorge area twice a day to fish both morning and evening......ah..... those days are long gone !! No sight seeing fishing here, plus strong wide current flows give the fish total control of the battle and many break free. It's no doubt the ultimate test in river sport fishing ! Try it someday..... boat or shore......it's awesome fishing.
Hope all are enjoying these fishing photos up next is " Cold weather fishing days on the Niagara " I don't ice fish but these are some cold snowy days. There is a fine line between insanity and the love of the sport of fishing! I know we all have probably crossed over that several times in our lives. We fished the Niagara, Spring , Fall, and Winter over the years and we learned all tactics on our own. We never chartered or had any direct connections in N.Y. we basically put the time in with trial and error fishing. We grew up in the Shenango Lake area and still live here so the Niagara was a special challenge. One thing about traveling away on fishing trips the weather is the major factor that we have no control of, but sometimes it works out !
Jiminy Crickets' Capt. Hook, I dun burned out the microwave makin Uncle Orville's gourmet popcorn. Gonna have to change to Jiffy Pop's stove top popping pan. I can make that stuff on the stove top, in the oven, the broiler and my Coleman camping stove too (it's a two burner )!
I never fished the Niagara,or the bar at the mouth,because I'm not a big lake trout fan but sure looks like fun. I did fish the big pond out of Olccott and at the time I caught a 19.7 lbs steelhead than beat the Pa state record.lol wrong state but what a fish. We caught huge numbers of steelheads trolling off the microwaves 35 feet down on the riggers. Our best day was 47 hookups with 31 to the boat. Nothing like the late August early September king run we spent two weeks camping fishing the derby and cold packing salmon at night in the pressure cooker. We'd been home 80 to 100 pints of salmon every year.We had a lot of fun and work on those trips.
shot many ducks and caught fish in same same place ..awesome pics!!!!
Yes it's loaded with Sea ducks, they fly just above the water in front of the boat as we travel up and down the river. Here's those cold days I was talking about. Now days I don't care for cold weather and wonder how did we enjoy fishing that much......but we did ! Insanity fishing at it's finest !
Time to launch the boat it's a cold morning boys !
Never know what you'll catch in the Niagara in Winter a "reel mix "
What are we doing here it's 15 degrees today !
I got it were catching fish ....... we'll you are Spanky !
I'm cold just looking at these more too come................Captain Hook & Co.
Now them there first pictures, Captain, brings the true meaning to "Ice Fishing". What's the limit on them things?
I'm sorry, I've not been myself lately.
Last time we went out fishing in weather like that we caught almost 50 lbs. The wife tried to fry it up and almost drowned both of us !!!
You guys were just plain NUTS !!!!!!!!
Made it in, now figure how to get it trailered ...we finally did took some effort.
Ice cold Smallies too !
Yep............... Walcat IS right............ your nuts AND you look like your having wayyyyyy toooo much fun!
That's about it for Niagara got lots more pictures but I'll save some for future posts. Never kept Lakers we mostly kept a few Steelhead for the smoker and some Browns for roe. Big Tuna, you know what it's like on Ontario boat trolling, the action was and is great. We trolled somewhat over the years but drifting is our cup of tea! Those big Lakers love to hug that bottom and can be stubborn to bring up top side. Shore river fishing is crazy fighting fish in the strong current pull. I told my friends that fighting a 10 lb. Niagara Steelhead from shore is about the same as a twenty pounder anywhere else. They use that current to their advantage and you will lose an average of about 50% of hooked Steelhead from shore, due to their power jumps, super runs across the wide open river, and the powerful boiling current bending your rod . Good gear, and strong tackle, is a must here. If you have landed Steelies in the local tributaries as I have, you still have no idea how powerful these fish can be from Niagara shores.
Time to hike out..... this fishing day's over .
Walcat, not that I'd ever admit it but, I gotta agree with ya on this issue. BUT, just this issue and, while we're on the subject of showing pride, how come I ain't seeing your Avatar being changed as per past conversations.
Last but not least, regarding a comment made on another thread................ !
Have a good day and tight lines.
heres some pics of my own, not quiet as impressive as some of captain hook's but i'm working on it!

Psychology Month Profile: Natalie Rosen
Publié le février 23, 2021 mai 5, 2022 par CPA Webmaster
Natalie Rosen
At Dalhousie University, Dr. Natalie Rosen studies sexual health in the context of couples. Many people thought there would be a baby boom during the pandemic – Dr. Rosen explains why this hasn't happened.
About Natalie Rosen
Where are all the babies? When the COVID-19 pandemic started creating lockdowns in March of 2020, the memes were everywhere. The generation that was sure to come from the pandemic baby boom was being given all kinds of names – Coronials! Baby Zoomers! We were all looking forward to making lame jokes in 2033 about these children entering their Quaranteens.
It made some sense that we would think that way – hey, we're stuck at home with nothing else to do, we'll probably all bake more cheesecake, learn a new instrument, and make a bunch of babies. But the boom never came. In fact, Canada's birth rate in 2020 declined by 0.73% from 2019 – continuing a steady trend downward that continues into 2021 (we are projected to decline by 0.74% this year). So what gives?
Dr. Natalie Rosen specializes in couples and sex. Dr. Rosen is a clinical psychologist and an associate professor in the departments of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Obstetrics and Gynecology at Dalhousie University. She and her team are currently in the middle of several longitudinal studies with couples, some of which began before the pandemic. They're hoping that they get some good data at the end of the studies that can shed light on the impacts of pandemic-related stress on sexual health, particularly for vulnerable groups like new parents. In the meantime, she's looking at other studies that are just now starting to release data.
"A study published last Spring in the States looked at the impact of COVID on people's sex lives. What they found was that just over 40% of people said their sex lives had taken a hit and were declining. Just over 40% said it was about the same, and then there was a minority of about 13% who reported that their sex lives had actually improved during the pandemic. I think it's fair to extrapolate to some extent to Canadians, which means a big chunk of us are experiencing a declines in their sex lives."
So what happened? Why aren't people having sex more than ever? Where are all the babies we were promised in the memes? Dr. Rosen says we probably should have known this would be the case.
"I think that was wishful thinking. We actually know that for many people, stress and uncertainty puts quite a damper on mood and desire for sex. Of course, there are lots of individual differences, so not everyone is the same, but for many people stress and uncertainty negatively impact sexuality. Also, when you think about all the young families who have had these extended periods of time with their kids at home – not only is that a stressor, but it's also interfering with opportunities for sex."
Dr. Rosen's research focuses on sexual dysfunction from a couples' perspective. In the past, much of the research has focused on the person with the problem – but of course many sexual problems exist within the context of the couple, and she says that very often the other person in the relationship really wants to be involved and to do something differently in order to help their partner and improve their sex lives. Dr. Rosen's team is hoping to expand the availability of couple-based, empirically supported, treatments available for sexual dysfunction. They have an upcoming publication reporting on a randomized clinical trial for the results of a novel couple therapy vs. a medical intervention for pain experienced during sex, and they are hoping to do the same with low desire. They've just launched a CIHR-funded study into couple therapy when women have low sexual desire.
Dr. Rosen's clinical work is small. She works with a few couples each week who have sexual problems, such as pain during sex and low desire, and with couples who are going through major life transitions, like becoming new parents. In the beginning of the pandemic she paused her practice because it was impossible to meet in-person, but Halifax is doing well enough that she was able to start seeing couples in person again last Fall. She says that some of the couples she sees have adapted to virtual sessions and now prefer that, so going forward it looks like her clinical practice will be the kind of hybrid model we might expect to see in most clinical settings post-pandemic.
The biggest disruption for Dr. Rosen is likely the lack of travel – in a typical year she's on a plane every six weeks or so, going to an academic conference, or visiting her family in Ottawa or Toronto. She says that now, she hasn't seen most of her family in over year outside her husband and two children – but that this slowing down of the pace of life has had its benefits.
"For us it's been a kind of investment in the nuclear family, spending lots of time just the four of us. And we've also had the chance to really explore a lot of the nooks and crannies of Nova Scotia! I also find that it's forced me to take a step back and evaluate what's important to me. I can get caught up in the minutia of my work, and particularly early in the pandemic I felt the frustration of trying to find work-life balance with two young kids at home. But you take a deep breath, and you figure out your values - health, family, happiness. I care about my work a lot, but there's a pandemic, and there are many times when it just can't be the number one priority!"
People across Canada are re-evaluating their priorities and have been for almost a year now. Like Dr. Rosen and her family, they are finding ways to support one another, to balance work and home life, and to stay as healthy and happy as they can throughout. Dr. Rosen emphasizes that finding ways to prioritize and connect sexually with your partner has many benefits for health and well- being. And that's a valuable thing to do – just don't feel like you have to live up to the memes of March!

Care Blog Jobs Brooklyn, How Are We Doing?
Brooklyn is the most populous borough of New York City, with a census-estimated 2,648,771 residents in 2017. Named after Dutch village of Breukelen, it borders the borough of Queens at the southwestern end of the same Long Island, and has several bridge connections to the nearby boroughs of Staten Island and Manhattan. Since 1896, the borough has been coterminous with Kings County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of New York and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after the county of New York (which is coextensive with the borough of Manhattan). With a land area of 71 square miles (180 km2) and water area of 26 square miles (67 km2), Kings County is New York's fourth-smallest county by land area and third-smallest by total area, though it is the second-largest among the city's five boroughs. Today, if New York City dissolved, Brooklyn would rank as the third-most populous city in the U.S. after Los Angeles and Chicago. Brooklyn was an independent incorporated city (and previously an authorized village and town within the provisions of the New York State Constitution) until January 1, 1898, when, after a long political campaign and public relations battle during the 1890s, according to the new Municipal Charter of "Greater New York", Brooklyn was consolidated with the other cities, boroughs, and counties to form the modern "City of New York," surrounding the Upper New York Bay with five constituent boroughs. The borough continues, however, to maintain a distinct culture. Many Brooklyn neighborhoods are ethnic enclaves. Brooklyn's official motto, displayed on the Borough seal and flag, is Eendraght Maeckt Maght which translates from early modern Dutch as "Unity makes strength". In the first decades of the 21st century, Brooklyn has experienced a renaissance as an avant garde destination for hipsters, with concomitant gentrification, dramatic house price increases, and a decrease in housing affordability. Since 2010, Brooklyn has evolved into a thriving hub of entrepreneurship and high technology startup firms, and of postmodern art and design.
It is age friendly because everything you would need you can find within walking distance. It is easy to catch a taxi. It is age unfriendly because brownstone buildings don't have elevators- lots of stairs, the sidewalks are uneven, and there are tons of young families due to good schools, and they just want elder people out of the way.
My reason for this place to be unfriendly is due to lack of violence , crimes, and other behavioral problem. Individuals are rude, and always looking to fight.

Previously Jesus called these 12 men, but now He will designate them into a position of leadership as His apostles who will begin building His Church on earth. Jesus called them up "higher" to a mountainside. They came. Jesus will take His leaders higher--closer to Him. Jesus knew that "followers" must become "leaders" because He would be leaving the earth to return to His Heavenly Father. He would invest His time and presence with these chosen ones to make them disciples and multipliers. He chose them, trained them and sent them forth. This required His commitment, time and presence. The cause was worth it. These taught, trained and equipped leaders would advance the cause of Christ in the world. Jesus had a "small beginning" with these chosen ones. These 12 men would become an intimate circle of friends who would be special to Jesus and He to them. If these chosen ones were to carry out His commission, He must invest Himself in them. Spending time and teaching those who want to be leaders is the core of disciplemaking.
The Apostle Paul who replaced Judas spent time with the elders (leaders) to teach, train and equip them in the ways and knowledge of Christ so they could carry on the work of building Christ's Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Rabbi Paul was in Ephesus for three years going from house to house teaching, warning and weeping with believers night and day in spite of the opposition of the Jews. (see Acts 20:18, 31) Paul gave top priority to building, maturing and multiplying believers. Disciplemaking was the core of Paul's ministry. He didn't just give an hour a week to those he was training. he spent an extraordinary amount of time with them. Paul was bound to Christ as His bondservant and bound to others in the advancement of the kingdom of God. God and His Kingdom were first in Paul's life. Paul taught through his words and his life. Paul wanted leaders who could minister effectively independently of his presence just as Jesus did. Paul poured himself into those at Ephesus, so much so that they wept when he was leaving to go to Jerusalem. As Jesus focused on His twelve leaders, Paul focused on the elders of the various churches. The elders were those who would dedicate their time and lives to the cause of Christ. This would be a daily commitment. Paul knew that he was not permanent in any place, so his impact would rest on those he has trained and left behind. This is not a new precept. God commanded the leaders of the Israelites to pass down all that they had learned of God to the next generation.
Unless the quality of training is very high and the recipients totally committed, the further downsteam it goes to the next generation. The Word, character of God and commitment to His cause gets more watered down and the water polluted. Christ and Paul warned of this.
Christ and the Apostle Paul put tremendous value in making disciples. They, of course, also had men and women who were willing to spend days and hours with them in order to learn and be trained. They spent more than one hour on a Sunday. They were totally committed as a willing bondservant of Christ. The cause was worth their all. God and His Kingdom were first in their lives.
Spiritual babies need spiritual parenting. Paul was a spiritual parent. Spiritual mothers and fathers are a tremendous necessity in any Church. Paul loved the new believers in every Church he established. They were in his heart, his prayers and his life. He taught, disciplined, warned, spent time, loved and prayed for them. Paul acted as both a spiritual mother and father to them. 1 Thessalonians 2:6-8: As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. Paul loved and cared for those he ministered to like a mother and father would their little children. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into His kingdom and glory. vv11-12 Paul was not afraid to call them to growth and maturity. He challenged them to become all that God has called them to be. Paul wanted those he taught and trained to live lives worthy of God who loves them.
The Apostle Paul held back nothing from those he taught. He said that he withheld nothing that was profitable for them because he loved them. This included correction, discipline and warning. He constantly fed them the whole Word of God. Paul fully loved those he was teaching, training and equipping as disciples of Christ!


What's the difference between CMYK and RGB color?
You have probably heard a designer or your print company uses the acronyms CMYK or RGB, but many people don't know what they stand for or what the differences are. Below is a quick guide for understanding what these terms mean and when they are used.
While CMYK and RGB are two of the most prominent color models used, there are many differences between the two.
CMYK is a four-color mode that utilizes the colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black in various amounts to create all of the necessary colors when printing images. It is a subtractive process, meaning each additional unique color requires more light is removed or absorbed, to create colors. When the first three colors are added together, the result is not pure black, but rather a very dark brown. The K color, or black, is used to completely remove light from the printed picture, which is why the eye perceives the color as black.
RGB is the color scheme that is most often associated with electronic displays, such as CRT, LCD monitors, digital cameras and scanners. Contrary to the CMYK method, RGB is an additive type of color mode that combines the primary colors, red, green and blue, in varying levels, to create a variety of different colors. When all three colors are combined and displayed to their full extent, the result is a pure white. When all three colors are combined to the lowest degree, or value, the result is black. Software such as photo editing programs use the RGB color mode because it offers the widest range of colors.
CMYK is the primary color model used by color printers. Any printed media, such as flyers, posters and signs, are printed in CMYK, which means that images supplied must be in CMYK to stay as true to the color as possible. There are many RGB colors that CMYK printers cannot reproduce, so it is always a good idea to talk to your printer if you have any questions about settings or things you might need to do to the file before sending it to them.
RGB is the typical color model used on electronic devices such as computers, so when you are designing anything that is going to be viewed electronically, such as a website, you should set your image mode to RGB. Most images you are supplied with will be RGB but it is worth checking.
How do I know when to use them?
If you will be printing something, such as a business card, stationary, or a newsletter, use CMYK. CMYK does not include white color because it is assumed that it will be printed on a white paper. Based on the percentage of each color that is used, the white from the paper will be used to fill the space, making the shades appear lighter.
If you are working on a project that will only be seen digitally, use RGB. The Internet is set up to work exclusively with RGB colors. A digital monitor is made up of tiny units called pixels that are comprised of three light units, one for red, one for green, and one for blue. The RGB values are applied to these pixels, setting the luminosity for each of the light units in each pixel.
Let us know if you have further questions on these color methods and how they will turn out on your next print project – we would love to help!

Sam Smith and Dustin Lance Black's emotional apologies to end Tom Daley feud
The duo fell out back in 2016 over an Oscar's speech and messages to Tom Daley
Dustin Lance Black and Sam Smith have ended their feud after a very public falling out back in 2016.
The making up came at the 2019 Attitude Awards at Camden Roundhouse and was initiated by Tom Daley's husband Lance.
The 45-year-old opened a speech by saying: "Sam, I am so sorry.
"I am a motherf***ing human being and sometimes get carried away."
Later in the evening Sam responded to Lance's comments during their own speech.
Agreeing to put their dispute in the past, Sam replied saying: "Dustin, you didn't have to apologise, but thank you.
"The truth is I did f*** up my speech royally at the Oscars... in front of 19million people."
It was that Oscars speech that started the row as Sam claimed to be the first openly gay star to win that award.

Pasty outrage as Phillip Schofield brands Jamie Oliver a 'filthy pervert'
They claimed the Academy Award for Best Original Song for Writing's On The Wall from James Bond film Spectre.
When accepting the award Sam said: "I read an article a few months ago by Sir Ian McKellen and he said no openly gay man had ever won an Oscar.
"If this is the case, even if it isn't the case, I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community all around the world.
"I stand here tonight as a proud gay man and I hope we can all stand together as equals one day."
Gordon Ramsay fainted when his wife gave birth to baby Oscar
Dustin took exception to those comments as he won an Oscar himself back in 2009 for Milk.
During a tweet to his followers, Lance said: "Hey @SamSmithWorld, if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé."
Sam reportedly quit Twitter for a year after the backlash from that tweet and simply wrote: "I'm logging off for a while. Some Martinis shaken not stirred are definitely in order."

Q: for_each function in dynmaic block Terraform I am using the dynamic block like below for s3 encryption. I wanted the values based on 'true' for sse-algorithm under the rule. If it's true, I need to assign the value "aws:kms" else I need to assign to "AES256". Any help on this is appreciated?
dynamic "server_side_encryption_configuration" {
    for_each = local.encryption == "SSE-KMS" ? [true] : []
    content {
      rule {
        apply_server_side_encryption_by_default {
          sse_algorithm = "aws:kms"
          kms_master_key_id = local.kmsKey
        }
      }
    }
  }

A: You are rather close and merely need to remove the conditional dynamic block, and refactor the ternary logic to the sse_algorithm argument value:
rule {
  apply_server_side_encryption_by_default {
    sse_algorithm = local.encryption == "SSE-KMS" ? "aws:kms" : "AES256"
    kms_master_key_id = local.encryption == "SSE-KMS" ? local.kmsKey : null
  }

National title for Ali
Published: 8:51 AM November 12, 2009 Updated: 10:26 PM October 27, 2020
WINDSURFING - CLEVEDON'S young windsurfing star Ali Masters sealed off his windsurfing season in style, scooping the national title in men s RS:X class at the annual RYA/UKWA national windsurfing championships.
WINDSURFING - CLEVEDON'S young windsurfing star Ali Masters sealed off his windsurfing season in style, scooping the national title in men's RS:X class at the annual RYA/UKWA national windsurfing championships.
Having picked up a bronze medal at the world championships in the Youth Raceboard class back in August, 18-year-old Masters was keen to add a national title to his silverware haul.
Hampered by impossible winds gusting up to 40 knots on the second day of the event, the championships, held at Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy, were decided by Saturday's racing which saw contrasting light shifty winds making for some challenging conditions across the classes.
Taking it in his stride, Masters, who now trains in the elite Skandia Team GBR stable, put together a faultless three-race performance on the sole day's racing winning all his races, finishing top of the leader board, proving himself untouchable and securing the title; RS:X Men's National Champion 2009.
The event, run jointly by the RYA and UKWA, traditionally rounds up the competitive windsurfing season and saw over 120 of the UK's top windsurfers battle it out for national titles in their respective classes with Masters' fellow RYA squad sailors picking up an impressive haul of silverware.

One of the common problems photographers face is focusing. It is always annoying when you think that you took a good picture on the spot and then go home to find that the subject is a bit blurry. So make sure your photos are always in focus.
The focus is extremely important for photographing. It is a big part of taking sharp pictures and a way to guide the eyes of the beholder. People are automatically drawn to the sharp areas of an image. If you miss the focus, something subtle will look wrong, like in this setting of mine.
I messed up and focused on the guy's hands. I love this attitude otherwise, but unfortunately I can only use it as an example of my mistakes because the focus is off. Make sure you do not do the same thing.
Focus and depth of field are related. The greater the depth of field, the more the image is displayed sharply. This means that the iris is a big part of the focus – or really, a big part of the focusability.
Photojournalists and street photographers have a maxim: "f / 8 and be there". In other words: at f / 8 with a normal lens: As long as you do not focus on the background or the extreme foreground, everything in your shot is in focus.
Conversely, if you have one With a long lens and a large aperture of about 1: 1, the depth of field can be only a few inches. We looked at this in detail in my article about focusing with large-aperture lenses.
If you want your image to be in focus, you need to choose the correct aperture for the job. If you do not need to use a large aperture for exposure or exposure, you should choose between f / 8 and f / 16. It makes things infinitely easier. If you need to use a large aperture, go straight ahead. You just have to work harder to get sharp pictures.
You photograph with a tripod and you want to focus at a specific distance, not at a specific point.
For the autofocus of your camera, it is too dark to reliably find the focus.
You're doing a setup action photo and want to focus on where everything is going to happen.
They focus on something like a grass field, a tree, curtains, or anything else that could throw autofocus.
I love the manual focus and often use it for landscapes, but most of them are too slow the time.
If you choose manual focus, we have an article that guides you through the right path. You can use the live view screen of your camera and zoom in 10 times (or as far as you can zoom in). In this way, you can ensure that the smallest details are clearly displayed.
When Using Auto Focus …  If you use autofocus, you still need to make a few more decisions to meet. You must decide which focus point or combination of auto focus points to use and which auto focus mode to use.
Your camera gives you the ability to focus on a single focus point, a group of them, or the entire autofocus sensor. In general, a small group of autofocus points offers the best balance, as you can place them over the subject and let the camera do the rest without worrying about focusing on something random in the background.
You should use a single focus point if you are photographing with a wide-aperture lens and need a specific object to focus on, such as the subject's eye or a small bird in a tree.
You should use this The entire autofocus sensor, if you need to be flexible, like in street photography. If you're not sure where your next subject will be, you can let the camera decide on a different focus point for each shot. This is especially effective if you use an aperture of f / 8.
For more information on auto focus points, see our guide to get the most out of autofocus.
Single AF (One-Shot AF or AF-S) that finds focus remains locked.
Continuous autofocus (AI Servo or AF-C) constantly trying to find the focus. 19659014] Hybrid autofocus (AI focus or AF-A), which behaves like a single autofocus until the subject moves, and then like a continuous autofocus.
I recommend using Continuous Autofocus and Auto Focus, but this is an advanced trick. If you're just starting out, hybrid mode is the easiest and most flexible way to use it. If you know you're shooting subjects that are constantly moving, switch to burst. If you're shooting landscapes or other subjects that can not be moved quickly, you can switch to single shots.
When using autofocus, sometimes your subject may not fall well below the desired focus point or group. In this case, use the single-focus mode, placing the subject just below the focus point you are using, press the shutter button halfway to focus on the subject. Press and hold the shutter button halfway to save the focus, and then reset the picture and press the shutter button all the way to take the picture.
Focus is one of the few things that you can not really fix at home. It does not matter if you have missed the focus just a few inches, with a blurry image you probably will not be able to do much. This means that you need to retrieve the photo locally.
Take a few minutes to review the photos you took on your camera's screen. If there are photos where you used a large aperture or missed the focus for some other reason, zoom in to 10x and check; The screen is too small to be safe without having to zoom in. If the photo is not clear, you can always take the photo again. If so, then you know you are safe.
Being able to focus reliably is an important skill photographers have to master. Even in difficult situations, you need to be able to take the photos you want home.


Back-to-school season signals sports, schedules and one other important staple — snacks.
If you hear, "I'm hungry!" the second your child hops in the car, you're in good company. It's common for kids to have an appetite after school. School-aged children eat early in the day, oftentimes before noon. It's no wonder they crave mid-afternoon munchies!
It's important for your kids to have perfectly portioned snacks – you want them to feel satisfied without spoiling their dinner. A nutritious diet, including both meals and snacks, aids in strong bones, teeth and gums.
Your kids may be in the same family, but it doesn't mean they're on the same schedule.

Abstract: 本論文提出以輪型機器人為基礎的室內節能與環境安全功能,期望將這兩個功能應用在辦公室、學校或是家庭等室內空間,達到室內節能省電及安全維護。在室內節能方面,透過Kinect感測器的深度資訊以及紅外線資訊達成輪型機器人的自主避障與室內定位的功能,並應用骨架追蹤偵測人員,主控電腦端會根據輪型機器人的偵測結果關閉無人區域的電器,並將室內區域的用電情形儲存於主控電腦端之網路資料庫中,供使用者了解。在環境安全方面,透過Kinect深度資訊和聲音偵測,機器人可以在黑暗中偵測環境中是否有入侵者,若偵測到入侵者,就會擷取入侵者影像並通知使用者,讓使用者在第一時間得到入侵者的資訊。經多次實驗證實,本論文之輪型機器人藉由靈活地巡邏室內空間,以及在深夜成;This study proposes a system using a mobile robot for indoor energy-saving and safety navigation functions. The two functions are applied to fulfill the energy-saving function and safety maintenance indoors, such as office, school, and home. For the first function, the depth data and IR data captured from Kinect sensor are used to accomplish the obstacle avoidance and indoor localization of the mobile robot, and skeleton tracking is used to detect human. If there is nobody in the specific region, the center PC will automatically turn off the lights and air-conditions of the region. Furthermore, the center PC updates the state of indoor power supply to the web database and provide it to the users. For the second function, the depth data and sound detection captured from Kinect sensor are used to accomplish intruder detection in the indoor dark environment. When the mobile robot successfully detects the intruder, it will captures the picture of intruder and notice the users. According to a series of experiments, we are satisfied with the results of the two systems.

Gaunt, "Duh"
Does any song ever need to be longer than the 1:36 of this song? Yeah, of course, why would you ask that question? But damn, this shit is EFFICIENT at getting the rock into your face. Gaunt ruled, y'all.
Gift of Gab, "Everything Is Fine"
This song features the legendary George Clinton as a guest, which is fun. And honestly, this beat sounds like something from The Streets, and now I kind of want to hear a collaboration between Gift of Gab and the Streets for real. And maybe George Clinton? Why not!
DJ Shadow, "Fixed Income"
Yeah, and DJ Shadow! Excellent suggestion, shuffle! This album is gonna be GREAT.
Following up a stone-cold classic like Endtroducing... was always going to be difficult, and the fact that DJ Shadow took five years to do so just raised the stakes. And, well, The Private Press isn't Endtroducing... Which is really unfair to what is still a very good record. If his classic debut didn't exist, this album would have still been a great debut.
Bailter Space, "Locher"
Long running indie band out of New Zealand, Bailter Space were part of what was an active scene there that some folks were really big into here in the States. But I never really figured out that much about the bands, there being only so many things one can keep track of. So while I recognize some of the labels and bands and can identify them, I'm not sure I have a lot to say about many of them.
Lil' Cap'n Travis, "Natural Fool"
Here at Five Songs, we often come across things that we don't really remember listening to. Look, when a music binge happens, one doesn't always have the chance to follow through on everything. Occasionally we even come across things where we don't really remember even buying them. But even those, we can usually figure out why we ended up with them.
But then we have the true rarities: things where we have no clue how a song ended up in the ol' library. And so we have today's track. No clue, y'all. The whole album isn't even in the library, just two songs! Mysterious.

Hazardous waste contains chemicals that are dangerous or capable of having harmful effects on public health and the environment. The DEC recognizes that many businesses generate some amount of hazardous waste in the normal course of business and provides information and support generators need in order to comply with state and federal hazardous waste management laws. Central Vermont Medical Center, Inc. (CVMC) is registered as a Small Quantity Generator. This designation requires the medical center follow a comprehensive set of practices to safely manage hazardous waste—from waste generation to storage and disposal.
In July 2018, DEC staff conducted a routine inspection of CVMC's Berlin facility and observed multiple storage, labeling, and management violations. DEC staff also found hazardous waste stored outside of designated waste collection stations throughout the hospital. Additionally, DEC staff found that arrangements with local emergency response personnel had not been established regarding the locations and types of hazardous materials onsite, and emergency information had not been posted in certain areas of the facility.
A follow-up site visit in September 2018 by DEC revealed several continuing storage violations and improper waste management. After receiving notifications of the violations, CVMC submitted a plan to correct the deficiencies and returned to compliance. As a result of negotiations, CVMC agreed to resolve the matter and pay a penalty of $20,250 for the violations. The Vermont Superior Court, Environmental Division incorporated the settlement agreement into an Order of the Court on February 4, 2019.
