SO, WE FINALLY MADE THE LUNGE AND DECIDED TO JUMP INTO THE EVER GROWING WORLD OF BACKYARD CHICKENS.
WE HAVE 3 DOGS AND KNEW WE WOULD NEED SOMETHING TO KEEP OUR NEW FEATHERY FRIENDS SAFE FROM THE PUPS. WE DECIDED TO BUILD A TRACTOR FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS. FIRST ITS MOBILE SO WE CAN GIVE THEM NEW FORAGING AREAS, 2ND FAIRLY INEXPENSIVE TO BUILD COMPARED TO A FULL COOP AND RUN, 3RD WE REALLY LIKED THE IDEA OF THEM. SO I STARTED RESEARCHING DIFFERENT LAY OUTS AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AREA PER BIRD AND DEVISED A FAIRLY EASY TRACTOR THAT WE HAVE INVESTED ABOUT 175.00 IN.
I STARTED BY CUTTING 4 OF THE 2X4S AT 48" MAKING 8 48" LONG 2X4S. THEN CUT 2 OF THEM DOWN TO 43" SO THE WATER WILL RUN OFF TO ONE SIDE.
ONCE YOU HAVE THE 2X4S CUT I STARTED AT THE BOTTOM AND SCREWED THE 48" 2X4S TO THE END OF THE LONGER 2X4S MAKING THE TOTAL WIDTH 48"
AFTER SCREWING ALL 4 CORNERS TOGETHER AD THE UPPER LEGS. I OPTED TO PUT THE LONGER ONES NEAR THE COOP END OF THE TRACTOR AND THEN THE WATER WILL RUN AWAY FROM THE EGG DOOR.
ONCE YOU HAVE THE LEGS ATTACHED YOU CAN HAVE A HELPER HOLD ONE END OF A 2X4 SO YOU CAN ATTACH THE OTHER END. REPEAT ON THE OTHER SIDE, THEN ATTACH THE 2 REMAINING 48" 2X'S TO THE ENDS COPYING THE LAYOUT OF THE BOTTOM.
ONCE YOU HAVE DETEMNINED THE SIZE OF THE COOP MEASURE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CORNER AND THE NEW LEGS THAT HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AT THE EDGE OF THE COOP, THEN CUT 2 2X4S AT THAT LENGTH INSTALL AT 23 INCHES BELOW THE TOP 2X4 MAKE SURE THE BOTTOM OF THE 2X4 IS AT 22-24'' BELOW THE TOP IF ITS TOO LOW YOU WONT BE ABLE TO ATTACH THE BOTTOM OF THE SIDING. CONTINUE BY CUTTING THE 2 REMAINING 2X4S TO LENGTH BETWEEN THE REMAINING CORNERS.
ONCE YOU HAVE ALL THE 2X4S ATTACHED YOU CAN START APPLYING THE SIDING. I CUT ONE OF THEM IN HALF LENGTH WISE TO HAVE 2 12'' X 24'' PIECES TO HAVE A DOOR TO ACCESS THE NESTING BOXES.
AFTER I HAD THE SIDING ON I DECIDED TO WRAP THE WHOLE TRACTOR WITH CHICKEN WIRE YOU WAY WANT TO DO THIS BEFORE THE SIDING IS INSTALLED THAT WAY YOU HAVE THE SIDES OF THE COOP EXPOSED LIKE MINE. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 2 SIDES AND TRIM THE WIRE SO THAT IT IS ATTACHED ON THE 2X4S BEHIND THE SIDING.
AFTER THE WIRE IS INSTALLED I INSTALLED THE 2X2S ON THE ROOF EVERY 18'' FROM SIDE TO SIDE I WOUND UP CUTTING 3 AT 48'' RESULTING IN 6 48'' PIECES. THEN ATTACHED THE ROOFING PANELS WITH THE ROOFING SCREWS.
Nice coop, the sloop on the ramp is steep, is there any ventilation?
Great design and I like how detailed your instructions are.
This is a great coop for bantams and can be easily moved. The coop page also contains quite a bit of information as to how it was built.
How many chicken can fit in it? What did it cost? Sorry for all the questions,but I'm trying to find a good design and cheap and big enough for 6-8 chickens.
We where originally going to do a hoop house. But we have decided on this system for our new tractor, thanks.
What a wonderful job you did explaining step by step. I think we nuns can do this! Thank you for being so precise! I also saw on you tube a guy made cylinder sun roofs out of 2liter plastic pop bottles for more lighting... He made it look easy too. Luckily we have a Sister who is quite handy with her power saws and tools.


The heavy duty NIXON Bracelet for Men incorporates thick steel curb links and a rugged black leather cord.
The knotted leather cord is woven around the large curb links, creating a dual style bracelet of steel and leather.
Solid and unrelenting, the heavy duty Nixon leather and steel bracelet does not mess around.
MATERIAL: 316L Stainless Steel; Genuine Black Leather.

Concerns Mount For Detained Chinese Lawyers on 'Disappearance Day'
A screen shot from the China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group's Facebook page showing detained family members and attorneys, June 7, 2016.
Concerns are growing for the safety of dozens of human rights lawyers and associates locked up in an unknown location by the Chinese authorities in a crackdown that started in July 2015, as the international community marks a day of concern for the victims of enforced disappearances.
During a nationwide operation targeting rights lawyers, activists, their families and employees, at least 26 of the more than 300 detained, questioned or otherwise affected were subject to enforced disappearance, the Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) network said in a statement.
"Several are believed to be under close watch by police and essentially still in a state of enforced disappearance," the group said in a statement to mark the United Nations' International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearance.
Some of those who remain incommunicado at an unknown location have even been officially released, including rights attorneys Wang Yu and Bao Longjun, Zhang Kai and legal assistant Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei's own lawyer Ren Quanniu was also detained, incommunicado, after speaking out about the authorities refusal to allow him to meet with her.
Zhao's husband You Minglei said on Tuesday that he still has no news of her whereabouts since her "release" last month.
"We've heard nothing," You said, adding that a tweet Zhao sent about how good it felt to breathe "free air" was likely manufactured by the authorities.
"She was probably forced to send it," he said.
Fellow rights lawyer Wu Kuiming said most of the lawyers representing their colleagues have been prevented from meeting with them since the crackdown began.
"That also goes for my representation of Ren Quanniu," he said. "I'm his lawyer, and yet I have no way of getting in touch with him."
"Also, not a single one of Wang Yu's close friends has managed to meet with her or even get in contact with her [since she was released on bail]," he said.
Repeated calls to Wang Yu's cell phone resulted in a switched-off message on Tuesday.
Thirteen still incommunicado
Wu said the ruling Chinese Communist Party is unlikely to pay much attention to international calls for the release of the "disappeared" and detained lawyers, however.
According to CHRD, 13 individuals from the "709" crackdown are still being held incommunicado.
Activists Xing Qingxian and Tang Zhishun went missing in Myanmar last October and were secretly held in China for seven months before authorities informed their families that the pair had been arrested.
They had been trying to help Wang Yu and Bao Longjun's teenage son Bao Mengmeng flee the country to attend school, after his passport was confiscated during his parents' detention.
Enforced or involuntary disappearance constitutes a crime against humanity under international treaties.
Rights groups say that victims of enforced disappearance are at high risk of torture and other kinds of ill-treatment.
"The Xi Jinping regime has taken the abhorrent practice of enforced disappearance to a new level, attempting to justify it on the basis of flawed domestic law," CHRD said.
Under Article 73 of China's Criminal Procedure Law, police can hold an individual for up to six months in a secret location with no access to their family or lawyer if they are suspected of crimes involving state security, which are often vaguely defined.
China's systemic problem with torture in detention—and the over reliance on admittance of criminal wrongdoing to convict detainees—raises concerns that some individuals held in secret are mistreated in order to coerce confessions, CHRD said.
In a pattern that is becomingly increasingly common in political detentions, Wang Yu gave an "interview" to Beijing-backed media after being granted "bail," saying she regretted her actions, and blaming her boss at Fengrui, Zhou Shifeng.
Activists said at the time that her remarks are likely to have been scripted by state security police.
Zhang Kai's lawyer, Tan Chenshou, said his client had been forced into making comments critical of other rights lawyers detained in the crackdown, including Beijing Fengrui law firm partners and employees.
"He was under duress and in illegal detention," Tan told RFA on Tuesday. "He had been bullied and cruelly treated."
"He basically had no choice, and so he said what they forced him to say, but he doesn't hold those opinions," he said.
He said Zhang had issued a statement retracting his comments after critical comments were made about him online. "I think that's totally understandable," Tan said.
Yuan Shanshan, wife of detained rights lawyer Xie Yanyi said she and her family are increasingly concerned for his safety.
"This is unacceptable for them to do this; they are knowingly breaking the law, and they are doing it in a self-righteous way," Yuan said.
"It seems that there are no limits for them when it comes to what they think is legal."
Breaking international law
Maya Wang, China researcher at the New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW), said enforced disappearances are getting more and more common in today's China.
"The Chinese government has often resorted to such methods as temporary disappearances in recent years, for example, locking petitioners up in unofficial jails, or 're-education centers'," Wang told RFA.
"They also use long-term disappearances, for example in the cases of some human rights lawyers who have been held since July 2015 in locations unknown to their families or lawyers," she said.
"But these practices are in breach of international law, whether they are for short or long periods," Wang added.
"We call on the Chinese government to take steps to put an immediate end to them."

CCP-ruled regime is again in breach of international law through these police-run disappearances of lawyers and other innocent people considered a threat to monopolistic CCP rule. Regime lawlessness was already a serious problem before Xi Jinping's accession to the top spot of the all-powerful Politburo Standing Committee in 2013--and has become much more severe and alarming since then.

'PUBG' gets more competition as 'Paladins' adds battle royale game mode
Image source: Hi-Rez Studios
Free-to-play hero shooter Paladins is getting is own battle royale mode in the vein of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Developer Hi-Rez Studios announced the "Battlegrounds" mode (yes, it's actually called that) at Hi-Rez Expo 2018 on Thursday, which, just like PUBG, will feature 100 players dropped into a massive map where they fight over loot and battle to be the last team standing as a deadly fog rolls in, shrinking the playing field.
Hi-Rez says that Paladins: Battlegrounds was "designed from the ground up to be played in teams" and will use the same class-based team setup from the main game. Although the mode is clearly inspired by (or ripped directly from) PUBG, the main game of Paladins is actually more like Blizzard's Overwatch than anything else.
Other than the class abilities and mounts (neither of which appear in PUBG), Paladins appears to be the latest game to be tempted by the growing genre. Fortnite, a third-person shooter, was among the first, launching Fortnite Battle Royale late last year. Not only was Fortnite's Battle Royale mode free, but it was also available on consoles. (PUBG finally hit Xbox One in December, but it's still in a fairly early, buggy state). Fortnite Battle Royale immediately shot to the top of the charts, so it's no surprise to see other developers diving in.
In addition to the Battlegrounds game mode, Hi-Rez also announced several other upcoming updates for Paladins, including a new Flank Champion named Moji, a new map, the addition of a Team Deathmatch mode and a new mount type: the Battle Cat. All of these updates will be available for PC on January 11th and for consoles on January 18th. Paladins: Battlegrounds is on display at the expo, but won't be ready until later in the year.

Q: Custom validation not working in checkout I followed this guide in order to add a new validation to my checkout. I deployed the content, cleared the cache and enabled the module several times but the validation is not working.
I also added a console.log('foobar'); to the isGmail.js file inside the validate function, but it never gets printed. I also checked the pub folder for the content and it is right there.
Magento 2.2.3
Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks!

A: not sure exactly what's going on. I followed the tutorial as well and was able to get everything to show up.
The first thing to check is that the files are being loaded in checkout. Jump into your inspector and under the network tab make sure both file are being loaded.

If they are, then you know that your deploy is correct and that the XML that you have is correct as well. If the files aren't showing up, then check your XML first to make sure that you have that correct. The file i have is full of other checkout stuff when i tested it, but the section that i grabbed is working for me, so odds are that's fine.
If the view file is loading and not the model file then it might be an issue with the call to that file in the JS dependencies. Make sure Mageplaza_HelloWorld/js/model/isGmail is the correct path you have for your module.
From there you can check with some test code. For me, this console.log loads then i hit checkout:
define(
    [
        'uiComponent',
        'Magento_Checkout/js/model/payment/additional-validators',
        'CustomerParadigm_CheckoutLearning/js/model/isGmail'
    ],
    function (Component, additionalValidators, gmailValidation) {
        'use strict';
        additionalValidators.registerValidator(gmailValidation);
        console.log('in the view/gmail');
        return Component.extend({});
    }
);

And for this section, the first console.log loads when i hit the checkout page and the second only triggers when i hit the place order button:
define(
    [
        'jquery',
        'mage/validation'
    ],
    function ($) {
        'use strict';
        console.log('outside return in the model/gmail');
        return {
            /**
             * Validate checkout agreements
             *
             * @returns {Boolean}
             */
            validate: function () {
                var emailValidationResult = false;
                var email = $('form[data-role=email-with-possible-login]').val();
                if(~email.search("gmail.com")){ //should use Regular expression in real store.
                    emailValidationResult = true;
                }
                console.log('inside validate in the model/gmail');
                return emailValidationResult;
            }
        };
    }
);

Play around with it and let me know where you are getting stuck.
As a side note, this user experience is really bad, as in you can't place the order, but there is no feedback on what is wrong and why it's not working. I would check this out and see if that gets you closer to where you want to be for custom form validation. It's not the same application, but it's using the same concepts.

That's what happened when we finally launched TasteTV and TasteTV.com as the new brand for the Indie Food Channel. We worked for months to make it happen (really, it was years), got the site up with the new look and the new topics, worked with our partner Brightcove, and included a selection of links to some of the best blogs on food and living, plus some vlogs and podcasts on the same topic. Our goal is to be inclusive, and give everyone who loves the best food, wine, design and restaurants in their city a voice on TasteTV, a chance to either be on, or to contribute their thoughs, whether that's in the form of a video program, or the blog they're currently running.
When it comes to blogs, there are just so many good ones that you could spend your entire day reading them, which is a bit of a Catch 22 situation. A) You're spending all day reading great blogs about new foods, recipes, and places to eat, but B) you're not actually eating the new foods, recipes, or going to the places to eat. But who can really blame anyone, the blogs are so darn good. Chocolate and Zucchini is at the top of the list, we all know, and Slashfood is hot, and Tablehopper (Marcia) keeps reporting all the news in the local scene. But then you've got some other blogs about Design, for example, that are fantastic, like Cool Hunting...which makes you want to go out and buy whatever they have just talked about.
So what did we do after getting TasteTV.com up and running, and the TasteTV press release out the door, and started taking questions from people interested in being correspondents or wanting to have their programs considered for TasteTV? We went out to eat at a place in San Francisco called East Side West, which may not be the hottest new place but does have these really filling "buffalo wings" that are as big as regular chicken drumsticks, so a $5.00 snack turns into an actual meal. Then we drank some good Pinot Noir to wash it down. We stayed long enough to check out the very busy beautiful people "scene" that was happening on a beautiful summer night, and later I stopped by RNM to tell Justine Miner that her new segments were running on TasteTV.com, and then went back to the office to tie up some loose ends.
But, what comes next? We'll let you know in 24 hours. (and answer all of those questions about how to become a correspondents or reviewer.
The Indie Food Channel team is working hard to complete preparations to launch our new brand on Wednesday, June 21st. We are very, very excited about the possibilities.


JOHN --- Why are we going out of the way?
have to heal a crippled beggar at this entrance.
JOHN --- Oh! You mean chapter 3, verse 6?
PETER -- Yeah, there he is.
BEGGAR - (afar) Alms. Alms for the poor.
JOHN --- No, thank you.
PETER -- I'm sorry, fella, we don't have any money.
BEGGAR - Then, take a hike, buddy.
JOHN --- Let's go, Peter.
move your buns. You're interfering with my visibility here.
PETER -- We've decided to heal you.
BEGGAR - Well, LA DEE DA. Aren't WE spiritual.
JOHN --- I don't think he wants us to heal him, Peter.
BEGGAR - What gave you the first clue, Bozo?
JOHN --- Maybe we should go, Peter.
JOHN --- Oh. Maybe you're right.
BEGGAR - Would you mind?! I'm begging here!

BEGGAR - Then kiss off. You're blocking my livelihood here.

as this is my first post here I would like to thank Alexander Griessner for this great piece of information.
It seems, that pbioslin.bin is not able to update P690 cards at all.
Currently I tried to backup/update the BIOS of my P690 LP PCIx16. However, the utility failed to detect my card.
The card works perfectly well with the latest mtx driver (without full glx support, but this is a known bug).
Matrox BIOS update utility - Version 1.74 Copyright (c) 2005 Matrox Graphics Inc.
Unfortunately, the Linux BIOS update utility does not support P690 and it has not been updated for a while. If you need to update the BIOS on your Matrox card, the workaround that we suggest is to use a Windows system at this time until an updated Matrox BIOS utility for Linux will be available.
Thanks for this information, I wasn't aware of the fact that the pbioslin doesn't work for the P690 cards.
I will update the HOWTO post accordingly so people know this in the future.

Street photography was done everywhere on the street and now has moved to the mall, at clubs, streets, parks, and practically anywhere. A street photographer never asks anyone to pose, and he or she does not want anyone to act as if he or she knows what might happen next. This takes away from the natural look needed when using the technique of street photography.
A trendy and very creative approach to exhibit your most cherished photographs is in fact with fabric frames. Standard picture frames will most probably be boring as well as simple. Enhance your existing decor and attract focus to your photographs with something crafty as well as special that is really effortless to create yourself.
It is really simple to make your own frame and all you need is a few items, several of which you might already have at home. First you will need to choose a material. You can pick something with a nice print that matches the rest of the decor in the area that you intend to use it. Any craft or sewing store should have plenty of materials for you to pick from.
When it comes to the structure, you can easily make it out of wood or even perhaps another material which will be solid, or otherwise you can easily purchase one that has been premade. Once you have the frame, the next step is to cover it with the material. You can do so by using either a staple gun or glue. If you decide on glue, make sure you select the appropriate one for the job at hand, and always read the instruction before use.
If you decide to make the frame yourself, you can use cardboard, corkboard or even wood. Depending on which you choose, you may possibly require some tools and equipment such as nails, scissors as well as a hammer. A thick, hefty cardstock will also make a great base for a smaller sized picture.
This is a very inexpensive craft and a great way to update an old frame that is no longer working with your interior design or just doesn't meet your taste level. You could buy cheap frames and then jazz them up and make them look like they cost a whole lot more than you paid. Just be sure to choose adhesive products that will last for a long time.
You can easily have a great deal of fun doing this project and include as much or even as little to it as you like. You may possibly decide to stitch on a few buttons or even glue on some gemstones. Kids can also be included in the decorative side of this particular project and would undoubtedly take pleasure in it.
Think about including batting in-between the frame and the material to produce some depth. Laces and ribbons could easily be attached to the edges for an elaborate touch. Should you decide to hand make this unique item, you will also have to think about just how it will be exhibited, and you may have to include a hook if you intend on hanging it on the wall.
There are numerous methods to generate income with photography, yet a favorite and a novice approach is through Micro Stock Photography websites. Micro stock photography is merely stock photography that's sold at deep discounts. Company is able to license stock photos just for $1 or $2, and photographers generate income whenever a client chooses one among their photos. Micro stock photography is considered to be still in its infancy, and a few people feel it's wrong to sell photography at such the best prices. Especially since several professional photographers invest time and effort and funds on equipment, learning, and photo shoots. For your beginning photographer even though, micro stock photography agencies may be ideal places to start. Since entry requirements are certainly not overly restrictive, several hobby photographers with inexpensive cameras have previously started making a nice second income from their pictures.
So how exactly does It Work? The entire process of earning money out of your photography through micro stock agencies is pretty basic.
1. Research popular micro stock photography agencies online. You will find many of them, but you'll want to commence with just one or two and soon you get the hang of things.
2. Choose your absolute best pictures to submit. Some agencies need you to submit 10 pictures for review if you apply for a free account together, although some simply need three the very first time. Most lack minimum requirements though, and you can start by submitting only one.
3. Your pictures will probably be reviewed by humans, and approved or rejected in the micro stock photography site. If they are accepted, they'll be designed for clients to "buy".
Technically they aren't completely buying your pictures though. They're simply licensing the images for specific use. Normally micro stock photography is used in websites, though sometimes it's employed in advertisements, brochures as well as other ads. The photographer always retains full copyrights thus to their photos though, and is particularly normally competent to sell exactly the same photos over and over again to additional clients. This also will be the beauty of stock photography. When you've taken a terrific picture and had it acknowledged right into a stock photography portfolio that you picture can proceed earning you cash month after month... sometimes every single year. Most micro stock photography agencies pay $0.20 - $0.50 per picture license, or download. This could not appear like much; however a good photographer with a couple of hundred pictures available will make a nice second income as time passes, mainly because it all adds up! There is a lot more to the stock photography business, which we don't have room to pay in only one article.
I love Facebook, and I hate Facebook, for so many different reasons. History has changed since we now see most of our social interactions done through a computer. One of the things I enjoy, is sharing photos from my holidays, or parties, or events I attend, or just hanging out with my friends.
And when I go to upload photos to Facebook, I get so frustrated. Uploading photos to Facebook to share with my friends is hard work. It seems that Facebook has done everything right, except for this.
Facebook is used by a wide audience from teens onwards, and from all different computer skill levels. Now users of the Software program 'Upload2facebook' can upload all those photos people have been meaning to upload, from holiday photos, or events and parties. Big clusters of images, that would normally consume a large amount of time. Expect a LOT of new baby photos to hit Facebook in the thousands.
A picture does really speak a thousand words and it is terrific to share pictures with your loved ones and friends on Facebook, it saves the hassle of individual texts or the need to email everyone individually. Zap it onto Facebook and job done, it is there for everyone to see on their wail and saved safely in your chosen album.
Jesse Wade - Software Designer and CEO of Project Corporation.The magic behind the impressive desktop software, is that it compresses all your photos (to Facebook approved size) on your computer before uploading to Facebook, instead of uploading a high resolution image to Facebook. When conducting a comparison of 20 high resolution images manually (50mb) on Facebook it took about 15 minutes.
Using this new APP it took less than two minutes. That is a saving of over 13 minutes. However, with Upload2Facebook, once you click the upload button it is all automatic.
Get answers to all the latest frequently asked questions, see all the terrific software features that the software comes pre-loaded with and better yet, here is where you can download the upload 2 Facebook software directly yourself and give it a try for yourself!
Having seen the massive potential, the big players (Google, Microsoft, Adobe, FlickR, Photobucket, and Firefox) have all developed and released software to improve the uploading process, but all had very poor results clearly not fit for the masses of Facebook Fans.

Some choose working on location with families and pets. Some love commercial work, and making products come to life. Some find passion in creating wedding photography.

The more passion you might have with your chosen line of photography, the simpler it is in promoting your projects, and get known within your niche.
Establish your business identity. Once you choose your niche, use that specialty to spot your name as well as your brand. Even though some photography studios are named following the business owner, others work with a more generic name. A name is a personal choice. However above all, ensure your name speaks to your required customers.
Decide what resources you will need for your business. Do you really need a commercial place for a studio? Would you like to work out of your house? Which camera equipment will you need? While a start-up business shouldn't put money into extravagant equipment, you should obtain enough equipment to sufficiently do your job, and have backup equipment offered by all sessions.

Add things like 'quit full time job in October' to help motivate you to take action on your ideas.
Photography Tricks -You Can Try Out Today!
For the novice, photography can seem like a difficult skill to learn. Too much of this can quickly become overwhelming, because there are too many resources. This article offers a variety of tips that can benefit your photography techniques and allow you take more artistic pictures.
Choose the subject of your photo. A quality photograph should mimic a small frame that surrounds certain features of your subject. Don't focus on too many different things. If there are many things you want to document, take multiple pictures. Multiple pictures will allow you to focus on every aspect, while one picture focuses on nothing well.
When going on a trip, start shooting photos the instant you depart. While location shots will be in abundance once you arrive at your destination, the journey itself is also worthy of being recorded. Take pictures at different stages of your journey, for instance in airports.
Make sure you are aware of what situations are appropriate for the use of the camera's flash function. There's more to using a flash than just turning it on and leaving it on. You can ruin what would have been a perfect picture by overexposing it. If you are taking photos in a low light setting, this is another situation when the flash should be turned back on.
It takes experimentation to learn which shutter speed works best in different settings. You can get some awesome photos at the drop of a hat and this will allow you to blur some time periods together. In general, fast shutter speed work best for action shots, whereas slow shutter speeds are ideal for shooting still-lifes, landscapes and other static images.
Learn a valuable art in composition by learning that less is more when it comes to your photos. Why would you want to clutter your shots? When photographing people, try to take shots that your subjects aren't aware of.
The most important thing, however, is to practice your photography skills on a regular basis. Taking pictures digitally has taken a lot of the pressure off of amateur photographers. This will give you the freedom to take as many pictures as you want without worrying about how much it is going to cost to develop and print all your pictures.
Use people as the subjects for your photos. Ask permission before photographing anyone. Pictures like these help you to find more vivid memories when you look back, even if at the time the people seemed unremarkable. When selecting people to photograph, always look for those dressed casually and sporting candid expressions.
Photography is unique in its ability to preserve a single moment in an image. These tips can help you learn how to create these elusive images. Use these tips and hints to familiarize yourself with the art of photography, and to raise your skill level from novice to professional.
Blur can ruin an otherwise, great picture. There are a few ways you can fix blur. One way is to assure the camera is still. You can do this by using a tripod or bracing yourself so it is easier to keep the camera still. You can also use your camera's action mode. This will automatically adjust your camera's speed settings and help stop the blur.
Always take more pictures than you think that you will need. This way when you go to look at what you have taken, you are pretty much guaranteed to have at least one good looking photo. Because you don't have to print every single picture, there is no harm in taking too many as long as you have the memory for it.
With all of the information in this article, you should start feeling more positive in your photography endeavors. You will need to try new things if you want to take the best pictures you possibly can. You can use the tips provided to take new and interesting pictures.
Try not use your camera's red-eye reduction. This normally does a pre-flash that shrink's the subject's pupils to reduce the reflection. While this works, it also gives the person a warning and can either cause them to flinch when the actual photo is being taken or they'll pose more for the photo. You're better off using computer image editing software to edit out the red-eye later.
Many cameras allow you to set the white balance. This setting tells the camera which colors to see as highlights. When shooting in artificial light (indoors) set the while balance setting to the "artificial light" mode. It will make your photos look as if they were shot in natural light.
A great photography trick that can help you out is to aim lighting away from your subject. You don't always have to aim lights right at your subject. You can aim the light away to create a much more subtle and diffused light. Try this next time you shoot.


clj-refactor — Unleash your Clojure wizard.
02 Nov 2015, by Artur Malabarba.
When I first started learning Clojure, I was charmed by how well integrated CIDER was with Emacs. In many ways, it felt just like writing Emacs-lisp. Nowadays, that feeling has gone slightly past the goal mark, and there are actually features I miss when I'm writing elisp. Clj-refactor is one of them.
This package is a Swiss knife of refactoring utilities for Clojure. From simple operations like turning a form into a -> thread, to the more complex situations like renaming entire namespaces, it's hard to find something clj-refactor can't do.
I won't list all of them here, they already have a nice wiki page for that. The point here is to expose a few features (the ones I find most useful) and hopefully that'll get you started on the road to enlightenment. To see some of the features in play (at a pretty quick pace), you can check out Magnar's Parens of the dead videos. I also plan on doing a proper and thorough video review of this package in the future.
or back again. Clj-refactor default keybinds are pretty well thought out, but I use these commands so frequently that I felt the need to shorten them to just 2 or 3 keys.
Next is another feature that comes up a lot, but this one doesn't even take up a keybind. When you type /, clj-refactor will look at the alias you've just written, and try to add a require for it in the ns form. The current snapshot release is very smart about it, and actually learns what alias you use for each namespace by looking at other files in the same project. You can also define your preferences with the cljr-magic-require-namespaces variable.
Another command you should definitely memorize is cljr-create-fn-from-example.
Instead of specifying a custom key for this one, we'll just let the package define all other keys for us.
The nice thing about the default keys is that they're mnemonic, and you might remember I have an entire series on this topic. The point being: it's very easy to remember that cljr-create-fn-from-example is bound to C-c r f e when you can actually sing "clojure refactor from example" as you're typing.
A few others I use a lot (and the keys they're bound to) are introduce-let (i l), move-to-let (m l), and promote-function (p f).
Lastly, some miscellaneous configurations that simply reflect my personal preferences, but which you should be aware of nonetheless.

Feldafing station is the only station of the Bavarian town of Feldafing and a station on the Munich S-Bahn. It is classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 5 station and has two platform tracks. The station is located on the Munich–Garmisch-Partenkirchen railway.

History
The railway line from Munich to Starnberg was opened in 1854. On 1 July 1865, Feldafing station was opened along with the extension of the line to Weilheim. In 1900 and 1901 platform subway was built at the station. In 1902 the line was duplicated. Since 1972, the station has only been served by Munich S-Bahn trains.

Station building
The station building of 1865 was built on the Munich–Garmisch-Partenkirchen line to a design in the style of the Maximilian age by Georg von Dollmann, the district engineer of the Royal Bavarian State Railways.

Dollmann created a two-storey entrance building with flat hip roof and exposed brick. It allegedly used stones that were intended for the castle in the park. The main building is flanked by two symmetrical pavilions that are connected by wings to the main building. On the ground floor of the main building there were a ticket hall, a freight-handling office and a waiting room for royalty. In the attached buildings there were first-, second- and third-class waiting rooms. Upstairs were the living and service rooms for rail employees and the stationmaster.  There is a platform canopy in front of the entrance building on the home platform. The facade of the building has external elements made of Haustein stone and classical details.

Infrastructure
The station is served by line S 6 of the Munich S-Bahn. There is a bus stop and parking nearby, but the station does not have barrier-free access for the disabled.

The two side platforms in Feldafing station are 210 metres long and 76 cm high.

Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time
You Save : ৳ 135.00 (15%)
`Karen Armstrong has become one of our most important and relevant commentators on religious world affairs today, consistently providing a scholarly but accessible approach to humanity's relationships with God and religion.
To date, there have been very few books written on the Islamic prophet of the religion that is followed by over the 1.2 billion Muslims who make up a fifth of the world's population.
Muhammad's staggering achievements as a human being quite simply altered the course of history as we know it and continue to this day to inspire humanity.
Muslims claim that in 650 AD, at the age of forty, Muhammad had a visitation from the Angel Gabriel telling him that he had been chosen to learn, recite and spread the words of God to man in verses that would later make up the Qu'ran. He slowly developed into a prophet, preaching monotheism to the masses.
He was initially mocked and rejected by many and risked numerous assassination attempts throughout his life. At a critical time, he also made the revolutionary decision to break all ties with his Muslim tribe thereby proclaiming that the bonds of Islam took precedence over anything else. The Islamic empire thus expanded into Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, North Africa and Spain.
Karen Armstrong has written a fascinating account of this figure whose life and influence has determined the course of the spiritual life of human kind.'

Q: Pygame: Blitting a moving background creates too much blur What I am trying to do is create a viewport to view a small portion of a background. (And later put sprites in).
However the problem I have noticed is there seems to be an issue of the background blurring when it starts moving. I was not sure if this is because blitting is slow or because of a problem in the code. I was looking for examples on how others blit or create scrolling backgrounds and found this article: Scrolling Games
I used their simple example and sure enough the background appears blurry as you scroll (aka blit the background with an offset). I also thought it might be the FPS dropping for whatever reason however it doesn't deviate at all. I can't recall an issue like this with other 2D games. I understand there may be some motion blur due to it constantly shifting. Just wondering if I can do anything to alleviate this. Can someone chime in on anything I may be missing? I would appreciate any feedback or help. Thank you

A: I couldn't know what caused the problem you faced, but I guess it is related to double buffering.
Did you use at least two surfaces?
# preparing two surfaces in __init__()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))
background = pygame.Surface(screen.get_size())
background.fill((250, 250, 250))

# called at every step in main loop
# draw images on the background surface
background.blit(image, position)
....

# blit background to screen
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()

If images are drawn on the screen surface directly, flicking occurs.

A: By "blurry" do you mean that the background appears "doubled"? Do you get the same effect when moving a normal-sized (e.g., 64x64) sprite?
If you are seeing double, then it's probably a refresh rate problem. Turning on vsync may help.
What frame rate are you getting?
If you slow down the animation to around 10 FPS, do you have the same problem?
