Signing new merchant accounts is an important focus for most Canadian merchant resellers and ISOs, but continually chasing new business simply isn't a viable way to realize an ambitious earnings goal. These tips will help sales agents to increase revenue, build an established career, obtain financial security, and provide better experiences for your clients.
Before you sign up as a reseller or ISO, research all the partner programs available to the Canadian market. Choose one that offers great products, exceptional client service, ongoing training and a lucrative compensation model. Look at the annual revenue of the leading card payment processors, the services offered for merchants, and benefits available to agents, such as lifetime residual payments and the chance to negotiate a buy-out in the future.
Taking risks might make life exciting, but when it comes to business they are an unnecessary gamble. For Canadian merchant resellers and ISOs, it's vital to partner with a processing company that offers robust backend support and resources to help guide you towards good deals, and that will advocate for you if (or when) a deal goes south. Make full use of any risk-monitoring tools provided, to reduce instances of fraud and chargebacks that could cost you hard-earned revenue.
Agents can also make the most of options such as split funding solutions, sign-up fees and bonuses, as well as interchange fees, statement processing charges, membership fees, setup and monthly minimum charges.
Give your business a head start with marketing that positions you as a professional in the industry. Make use of branding solutions and white label support mechanisms offered by your partner program, such as customizable marketing materials for different verticals, branded merchant applications, welcome kits, and a dedicated toll-free phone number for merchants to call. This will improve your clients' experiences by giving them a sense of engagement and a feeling of working directly with you, instead of with the third-party provider.
merchants who aren't using processing facilities to their fullest potential.
Following up on these factors can help increase sales, which benefits both the independent sales agent and the ISO or reseller.
As with any business, growing the customer base is vital for increasing revenue. Do this by expanding geographically, adding new industry verticals to your portfolio, establishing new markets or winning over market share from competitors. Canadian merchant resellers and ISOs can also expand their reach by establishing new sales channels and recruiting additional agents, using a multi-level marketing model.
Above all, increasing revenue requires merchant resellers and ISOs to pay close attention to setting achievable goals, honing your skills to constantly improve your abilities, and remaining self-motivated. The payments processing industry is currently in flux, and while each day brings new challenges it also brings tremendous new opportunities for savvy resellers to make money.

KAIJU MOVIE DATABASE
Giant Space Monster Dogora (1964)/Dogora The Space Monster (1966)
Dogora the Space Monster, released in Japan as Uchū Daikaijū Dogora (宇宙大怪獣ドゴラ, lit. "Giant Space Monster Dogora"), is a 1964 Japanese tokusatsu science fiction film produced and released by Toho Studios. Directed by Ishirō Honda and featuring special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya, the film starred Nobuo Nakamura, Akiko Wakabayashi, and Hollywood actor Robert Dunham. The film tells the story of a huge jellyfish-like creature from space that attacks Japan.
The film was released straight to television in the United States, in the winter of 1966 by American International Television as Dagora, the Space Monster.
When several TV satellites launched by the Electric Wave Laboratory go missing above Japan in Earth's orbit, it is found out that they have inadvertently collided with unidentified protoplasmic "space cells" of unknown origin. A similar creature suddenly thwarted the efforts of a local branch of the International Diamond Robbery Ring. The diamonds they sought vanished, and similar unexplained events continued to occur across the globe.
Meanwhile, Inspector Komai's (Yosuke Natsuki) investigation of these strange events led him to the crystallographer Dr. Munakata (Nobuo Nakamura). In the process of tracking down the self-proclaimed diamond broker Mark Jackson (Robert Dunham). He finds him in Dr. Munakata's home but knocks him out and escapes from Komai. He is then picked up by the gangsters for questioning. Komai wakes up and is greeted by Dr. Munakata and his lab assistant Masayo Kirino (Yoko Fujiyama). He tells them about the case he is working on and shows them pictures of the melted safe the gangsters were at that night. Komai then learns that the diamonds the Mark stole were synthetic and worth nothing.
The gangsters bring Mark Jackson to their boss and find a bag containing the stolen diamonds. However they too find out that they are fake and keep him as a prisoner but outwits them and escapes. The gangsters are then given word of a shipment of raw diamonds will arrive in Yokohama.
Meanwhile, Inspector Komai escorts Masayo to her home. Along the way they meet Kirino (Hiroshi Koizumi), Masayo's brother who works at the Electric Wave Laboratory. They witness a strange invisible force suck up coal into the sky from a nearby the factory as well as flaming sparks from the clouds. They meet back with Dr Munakata who tells them that the flaming sparks might be from some form of carbon.
Later, the professional thieves took advantage of this ripe opportunity and attempted a heist on an armored car carrying the raw diamonds. But a nearby coal truck passing by is lifted off the ground by some unknown force and disappears into the atmosphere and is dropped back down to the ground. Unfortunately for them, they were fooled and escaped with nothing but candy.
The police came to learn of the mysterious events of the armored car heist. Inspector Komai tells them of the possibility of a creature that caused the coal truck to list up in the air, but no one believes him. He is then called by Masayo a that Mark Jackson is at Dr. Munakata's house. Komai and the police surround the house to catch him. But he reveals himself that he is an investigator dispatched from the World Diamond Insurgence association to find out what has been steeling diamonds worldwide. Just then Masayo's brother comes in and tells them that the identity of the monster was reported from the Space Planning Committee at the U.N. that the monster is a space cell that has been mutated by massive amounts of radiation from the satellites. Suddenly, Dogora appears and eats its way through Dr. Muanakata's safe to eat the diamonds inside.
The creature from outer space is deemed to be the culprit, an alien beast that draws its energy from carbon-based minerals. Dr. Munakata, confident in a remarkable scientific discovery, left for the coal mines near northern Kyushu, where it was proposed that the strange being would make its next appearance.
Mark Jackson also took leave for Kyushu, as the realization was finally made that the candy recovered at the heist was likely his doing. It was probable that he had, in truth, absconded with the true gems. Hamako (Akiko Wakabayashi), one of the gangsters responsible for the failed heist, prepared to double-cross her comrades and retrieve the diamonds for herself.
As Dr. Munakata arrived at Dogora's next likely target, unidentified objects began to show on radar. A swarm of wasps was attacking Dogora in retaliation for the disturbance of their hives in the mines, and as they attacked, solid crystal sections of the monster began to fall to the city below.
Over Dokaiwan Bay, as night fell, evacuation orders were put into effect as the jellyfish-like monster began to descend from the sky. The self-defense force fired, to no avail. The monster continued to absorb carbon-based materials wherever they could be located, and the abomination even destroyed the Wakato Bridge in the process. The military continued to unleash their artillery at the alien creature, and succeeded in momentarily silencing their foe. Unfortunately, the creature was only undergoing mitosis.
It is later found out that when Dogora is stung by the wasps, the venom causes a chemical reaction that crystallizes the space cell. Analysis of the crystallizing effects of the wasp venom on Dogora at the Medical Substance Laboratory proves successful, and mass production was soon ordered all around the world for the creation of a similar toxin.
The gangsters, still desperate for a successful heist, tracked Mark Jackson and Inspector Komai and almost immediately jumped to the conclusion that Mark had hidden the real diamonds in a safe-deposit box. Hamako left to retrieve the stash, but instead fled solo with the stolen goods. The thieves left Jackson and Komai tied and doomed to death-by-dynamite, but the two men joined forces and only barely managed to escape.
Meanwhile, Dogora attacked once again, but this time, powerful artificial wasp venom quickly ate away at the creature. The robbers and the police clashed at the beach, and in the heat of a vicious gunfight, the gang was completely wiped out by a falling crystal boulder, once a section of Dogora's extraterrestrial flesh.
The wasp venom finally took full effect, and Dogora was no more. It was soon discovered that the diamonds Hamako had retrieved from the safe-deposit box were, in fact, synthetic. As this truth came to light, Dr. Munakata and his secretary left for the UN to discuss the peaceful potential of the Dogora incident with the world.

The film is unusual for Toho's giant monster series in that the creature is non-anthropomorphic and not portrayed by an actor in a costume. For scenes of it in its full form, the Dogora prop was placed in a small vat of water and puppeteered by people holding wires. This gave it the impression of it floating like an airborne jellyfish.
Originally, Dogora was titled (スペース・モンス Supēsu Monsu, lit. Space Mons) and was meant to be released in 1962.
Dogora's roar was reused for the Tsuburaya Production's TV show Ultraman, as the monster Bullton in ep 17, Passport to Infinity.
There were originally plans to feature Robert Dunham in a series of films based on the "Mark Jackson" character he played in this film. However, those plans never came to fruition.
As with its release of Attack of the Mushroom People, American International Television bought the rights to Toho's international dub in 1965 for television syndication. Since the film wouldn't play in US theaters, AIP-TV left Toho's English dub intact and added a new Dagora, the Space Monster title card. Allegedly, the name of the monster was changed to "Dagora" so that audiences wouldn't think the monster was a dog. Beyond the removal of the opening credits, the film was unedited. This version played for many years on late night TV and was released on home video by Video Yesteryear in 1983. The Media Blasters DVD uses the same dubbing featured in the AIP-TV version, but the edits are not retained.

The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology () is located in Dortmund, next to the Dortmund University of Technology. It is one of 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft).

Origins
The Institute was originally founded by Max Rubner as the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institut für Arbeitsphysiologie, part of the  Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in 1913. During the First World War the Institute focussed on nutrition and diet, and how ersatz substitutes could be found for particular foodstuffs which were becoming scarce. They worked alongside the Kriegsernährungsamt  (War Nutrition Office) to try out different food surrogates both for the military and the civilian population. They also developed aptitude tests for different types of work, such as evaluating distance perception for military drivers, pilots and railway workers. This was further developed to provide a means for selecting artillery officers.

Departments

Mechanistic Cell Biology
The Department of Mechanistic Cell Biology aims to better understand the molecular mechanisms of cell division and their regulation. The main focus is on the key proteins that control the division of chromosomes during mitosis, a process that separates sister chromatids into two identical daughter cells, thereby maintaining chromosome stability.

Systemic Cell Biology
The Department of Systemic Cell Biology studies the regulation of signal transduction processes in cells. These processes control significant cellular functions such as tissue growth (proliferation) or the differentiation of cells into specialized cell types and, thus, determine the fate of each cell.

Structural Biochemistry
The Department of Structural Biochemistry focuses on structural and functional analyses of biologically and medically relevant membrane proteins and macromolecular complexes. Special attention is given to the investigation into the molecular mechanisms of muscle contraction and the infection with bacterial toxins. Furthermore, membrane proteins that play an important role in the synthesis, transport, and homeostasis of cholesterol in the body are examined.

Chemical Biology
Research in the Department of Chemical Biology concentrates on the interface between organic chemistry and biology. By using biochemical and chemical techniques, researchers identify and develop new tools for the investigation of biologically relevant processes and phenomena.

Team NAD was founded in 1990 by dedicated bar hoppers who were bicycling across the state of Iowa on the world famous RAGBRAI ride. Based out of Ames Iowa, Team NAD has members in several states who share a love riding bikes for long distances amid cornfields in search of cold beverages. Team NAD's favorite bike rides include RAGBRAI, the February BRR Ride, and the September Fat Tire Ride around Lake Geneva Wisconsin.
In the early years Team NAD was well known for traveling the entire RAGBRAI route by bus in advance to scope out the best bars in each town and for printing t-shirts featuring the route map with chosen bar names instead of town names. The Bar Map tradition eventually fell by the wayside when the other demands of life took precedence.
More recently Team NAD has been known for towing along a specially designed Drink Machine that instantly serves up a variety of cocktails at the push of a button. Team NAD friend and inventor, Jay Lueck, built the special Team NAD edition of the Lazy Drinker that sits on a bike trailer, usually pulled by Team Captain Shawn.
Team NAD's sister team, the Bierbitzches, is literally that; a team of sisters, related to the NADs by blood, sweat, and ice cold biers. They may rise earlier and get to the first bar before the rest of us, but we can still count on them to lead us into town after dark if the situation calls for it.
If you are interested in sharing our experiences you can check out our photo galleries and videos below and even leave comments. If you have photos of Team NAD you'd like to share please email Otis at retrofitz@hotmail.com for instructions.

Southeast Arkansas attorney's law license suspended 3 years
by Seark Today | Dec 7, 2013
Ken Harper
The law license of a former judge and attorney practicing law in Southeast Arkansas has been suspended for three years.
A Supreme Court panel on professional conduct suspended Kenneth Harper's license for 36 months and ordered him to pay restitution totaling more than $5,000 to five clients he effectively abandoned.
Fountain Hill Client
In July 2012, a Fountain Hill man hired Harper to file a lawsuit on his behalf against an individual who failed to meet the terms of a contract in an automobile sale. Harper filed the lawsuit the same month.
The man said he had little contact with Harper but did receive notice of a December 10, 2012 court date that had been set for lawsuit. The man appeared in court on that date but Harper was not there.
Unbeknownst to his client, Harper had filed a motion for continuance.
After court, the man called Harper's office telephone number but the telephone service had been disconnected. He also called Harper's personal cell phone number and left a message. He never heard from Harper.
Hampton Client
In August 2012, Harper agreed to represent a Hampton man in a lawsuit concerning a property issue in Bradley County. After the man paid Harper $750, Harper filed an answer to the lawsuit with the Bradley County Circuit Clerk but did not provide the man with a copy.
The man attempted to contact Harper at his office concerning the status of his legal matter. At some point, the telephone service to Harper's law office was disconnected.
The man wrote Harper and informed him that he did not want Harper to represent him any further in the legal matter, requested that Harper refund $650 of the $750 fee he paid, and return all documents that Harper had been provided. Harper did not comply with the November 2012 request for the documents and fee refund.
Chicot County Client
In September 2012, Harper agreed to represent a Chicot County man in a domestic relations case involving the custody of his son. After the man made the last payment on the $750 fee he was quoted, he was unable to reach Harper.
The telephone numbers to Harper's office were disconnected, the office was empty and Harper did not respond to the man's emails.
Records from the Chicot County Circuit Clerk's office show that as of March 22, 2013, there had been no post-divorce activity initiated in the man's legal matter by Harper.
UAM Student
In October 2012, the father of a University of Arkansas at Monticello student hired Harper to pursue a civil matter against either the person responsible for attacking his son or the police agency that arrested him following the attack.
After Harper received the $500 legal fee, the man's son attempted to contact Harper but the telephone numbers he had been provided had been disconnected, no longer in service, or directed to voice mail where messages were not returned.
Gould Client
In December 2011, a Gould woman hired Harper to represent her daughter's interest in a probate matter. She signed over to Harper a $10,000 check from an insurance company and Harper wrote her a check for $8,500 from his IOLTA trust account. He kept $1,500 for his fee.
From January 2012, until November 2012, the woman went to Harper's office on numerous occasions to get information about the probate matter. She said Harper would not tell her the truth about the status of the estate. She said she also went to the Lincoln County Circuit Clerk's office and asked if anything had been filed on her or her daughter's behalf by Harper in the estate case. Nothing had been filed.
In December 2012, the woman got Harper to agree to refund the $1,500 plus the $50 initial consultation fee she had paid him. She said Harper told her he had been experiencing difficulties so she agreed to allow Harper pay the amount he owed by the week or month but she wanted something in writing. Harper wrote out a document entitled "Statement of Debt" but never repaid any of the money he admitted he owed.
In February 2013, the woman filed suit against Harper in Star City District Court. Harper failed to respond to the lawsuit. In April 2013, the Star City District Court entered a default judgment against Harper in the amount of $1,550 plus $130 in court costs.
Harper's response was the same in each case.
According to the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct, Harper admitted that he agreed to represent all five clients in their legal matters but when he took on those cases he had the ability to timely handle the matter. He said in November 2012 he suffered a broken right hip which required surgery and post-hospital recovery which prevented him from practicing law.
Harper said when he returned to his office, he discovered that his staff had left and his utilities had been cut off. He said he was out of his office for over 100 days without any income and during that time his bookkeeper had overdrawn his business account.
Harper said that these were not a matters of professional negligence but a case where his professional duties were disrupted by a major life-changing, personal injury.

I don't see how someone who believes that the Federal Government has no business in our private lives would be against a beneficial, harmless medicine that has helped millions of people overcome illness from cancer to depression. I'm talking about Medical Marijuana.
More than 15 states have passed laws legalizing Medical Marijuana, and many more are on the ballot to do the same in the next election, including Arkansas. Survey data indicates that 65% of Arkansans would vote for Medical Marijuana. If everyone in that survey voted, Arkansans would have Medical Marijuana sometime next year.
In a last ditch effort to defeat the Medical Marijuana act, the ignorant right wing followers of people like Jerry Cox are falling for the "gateway drug" lie again. According to Cox, everyone who smokes Medical Marijuana will go through the "gateway" to using cocaine and heroin. Let's look at the numbers, the facts:
According to the Federal Government's Drug Enforcement Agency(DEA), 160 – Million people smoke marijuana…according to that same Federal Agency, only 1 – million people smoke cocaine. Think about it; if that many people smoke marijuana, shouldn't the same number of them become cocaine addicts? That's what the "gateway theory" says. Have you been frightened by Federal Government propaganda? Have you been lied to? Of course you have. You can do the math can't you?

Rafał Michalak
Lives and works in Wroclaw, Poland. He studied political science and public relations. Graduate of Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw with a Master of Arts (Media Art Department). A member of The Association of Polish Art Photographers (ZPAF). He has been associated with the advertising industry and commercial photography for years. In his everyday work he deals with brand communication issues as well as visual identity development for companies and corporations. At the same time, he is actively engaged in creating his own original photography, thereafter presented in exhibitions and published in trade magazines. Winner of many photographic praises and commendations. Human being as individuality and its place in the so fast altering world are the key factors of Michalak's photographic research. In his photography he is mostly consumed with transgression understood as a conscious and intentional exceeding of bounds and limits that we impose on ourselves or encounter. At the same time, it provides a way to learn more about the hidden depths and makes it possible to experience reality from different points of view. Transgressive approach has characterised Michalak's personal style of representation, regardless of used technique and medium, ever since he knowingly engaged in fine-art photography. Transgression determines his personal choices in terms of subjects he approaches, and even more so, the message, i.e. the idea behind a photograph, which he believes to be essential.
David Gray was born and raised in North Carolina and trained at Penland School of Craft and at ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles. David moved to Canada in 1980 to pursue a career as an on-set still photographer for film and television as well as advertising and editorial work. Throughout 47 years in photography, his fine art projects have remained his first love as he continues to refine his vision and exhibit occasionally in Los Angeles and Vancouver. Most recently, his personal work has seen a return to basics, to simple minimalist black & white studies of details in the natural world as far away as Africa and Scotland and as close as the pond in his own backyard. His latest series grew out of a fascination with the reflective, elastic properties of water and with the abstract shapes of reeds, leaves, and lily pads. He works only at dusk, in the fleeting moments before the light disappears and when the lake water is glassy-calm. What has remained constant in all his work is a keen eye for composition, the interplay of light and shadow and a reverence for the finely crafted print.
Anaïs Boileau
Anaïs Boileau is from the south of France. She completed training in photography and visual communication at ECAL, the art school from Lausanne. She works in 2012 with the photographer Charles Freger and in 2014 she gets a residency at the Hong Kong Design Institute. Her photographic work is presented in various group exhibitions. In 2015, her photographic project Plein Soleil is part of the Black Mirror exhibition in New York, organized by Aperture Foundation, and is presented to Katmandu Photo festival in Nepal. It is selected to Boutographies 2016 projection of the jury and is one of ten finalists presented at the 31st edition of the international fashion and photography festival in Hyères at the Villa Noailles where she received the audience award and the Elie Saab grant.My work "Plein Soleil" is about a kind of community women taking the sun. These are women with golden skin exposing themselves under the omnipresent sun. They stay along the coast of the seaside towns marked by Latin, bright and colorful architecture. There is a temporality game beetween women and architectures because they are modeling in the same way by the sun light. These portraits represents a kind of happy idleness that exist in south. I try to bring a look a bit funny and tender about that women cause it was like a game with them about their image. Lost behind their sunglasses, accessories, women are distant, pensive as absorbed by the sun. We never see their eyes with their solarium glasses and that make them impersonal. Floating Between documentary and fiction, the portraits of this matriarchal community, reveal a desire for exoticism. There is a dimension of artificiality and something false in all that . The idea that they put forward, they refine and polish their bodies but also in the idea that all this is just a world of appearance, of surfaces.

Bharat Patel
Bharat is an Indian born photographer living in Oxford, UK. At first embracing many genres of photography but since the last ten years he has been mainly involved in travel and documentary photography, some of these in collaboration with NGOs. Underlying influence in his photography is his upbringing in the British colonies and his exposure to different cultures and social structures. He has lived and experienced life in four different continents with vastly different life styles. From a young age his inclination to connect everything has had an influence on his photography. Mixed with this is his formal education as Electronic Engineer which exposed him to world of sub-atomic matter where order and hierarchy exist amongst the chaos, just like his experiences in real life. Bharat considers his work as "Photography for a Purpose". This can be seen in his long-term project on "Nomadic Tribes of India", "Brick Workers" and "Women Workers in the Informal Sector". Always looking to preserve these as documentaries to retain the importance of what is present and that which may inform the future. Bharat uses both black and white and colour images depending on what he wants to portray. Without the distracting colours, his black and white images lay bare the subjects and show their inner selves. In his words everything is waiting to be photographed and to be remembered, it is how you photograph it that counts. Bharat is a member of the Royal Photographic Society.

Phuoc Hoai Nguyen
Now I work for a commercial bank as a cashier. I have a love of photography and traveling. I have been in photography since 2012. Each place I have been in, there is always a unique beauty that attracts me. I am extremely passionate about the scenery, culture, and people at every beautiful moments I experienced. My Vietnam Vietnam is a developing country in Southeast Asia. Although this is a small country but Vietnam still has many things that attract tourists. Vietnam has tropical climate with differently complex seasons in two parts of the country. Through many wars for the past a thousand years, Vietnam has developed continuously and now, it is a beautiful country in the eyes of the foreigners. Vietnam has had a victorious history. It has 54 ethnic groups and diverse cultures. Having tropical climate, Vietnam is known for many beautiful landscapes especially mountains, beaches, caves and even rice fields. Lives of people is one of the most fascinating things of Vietnam. One of the most important festival in Vietnam is Tet holiday, which occurs around January or February. Cuisine is also a highlight when talking about Vietnam. My country still has many things that wait for you to explore. Let's take the look at photos that I luckily have had a chance to take from the North to the South with a view from above .
Ansel Adams was an American landscape photographer and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West. He helped found Group f/64, an association of photographers advocating "pure" photography which favored sharp focus and the use of the full tonal range of a photograph. He and Fred Archer developed an exacting system of image-making called the Zone System, a method of achieving a desired final print through a deeply technical understanding of how tonal range is recorded and developed during exposure, negative development, and printing. The resulting clarity and depth of such images characterized his photography. Adams was a life-long advocate for environmental conservation, and his photographic practice was deeply entwined with this advocacy. At age 12, he was given his first camera during his first visit to Yosemite National Park. He developed his early photographic work as a member of the Sierra Club. He was later contracted with the United States Department of the Interior to make photographs of national parks. For his work and his persistent advocacy, which helped expand the National Park system, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1980. Adams was a key advisor in establishing the photography department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, an important landmark in securing photography's institutional legitimacy. He helped to stage that department's first photography exhibition, helped found the photography magazine Aperture, and co-founded the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona. In his autobiography, Adams expressed his concern about Americans' loss of connection to nature in the course of industrialization and the exploitation of the land's natural resources. He stated, "We all know the tragedy of the dustbowls, the cruel unforgivable erosions of the soil, the depletion of fish or game, and the shrinking of the noble forests. And we know that such catastrophes shrivel the spirit of the people... The wilderness is pushed back, man is everywhere. Solitude, so vital to the individual man, is almost nowhere."Source: Wikipedia To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things. -- Ansel Adams American photographer and environmentalist known for his black and white photographs of the American West in Sierra Nevada and in Yosemite National Park. Ansel Easton Adams was born in 1902 in an upper-class family. His family migrated from Ireland in the early 1700s. He was the only child of Charles and Olive Adams. His paternal grandfather founded a successful lumber business, which was later run by Ansel's father. His mother's family came from Baltimore. His maternal grandfather had a successful Freight-Hauling business, but squandered his wealth in numerous investment ventures. His nose was broken and scared during the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 as an aftershock threw him up against a wall. After the death of his grandfather the family business was hit by the bank crisis of 1907 and by 1912, his family's standard of living had been dearly impacted. Ansel was a hyperactive child prone to sickness. After being expelled from several schools due to his restlessness, at age 12, his father decided to tutor him at home with the help of professors and Ansel's aunt. He soon became interested in music and started learning the piano, but all changed when aged 14, his aunt gave him a copy of "In the Heart of the Sierras". The photographs by Georges Fiske were a revelation and Ansel persuaded his parents to visit Yosemite National Park during the following vacations. Equiped with a Kodak Box Brownie n°1, Ansel Adams first visited Yosemite National Park in 1916. Amazed by the site and the light, he returned to Yosemite National Park the following year with better cameras and a tripod. He will return regularly to Yosemite National Park where he will even meet his future wife, Virginia Best. You don't take a photograph, you make it. -- Ansel Adams At age 17, Adams joined the Sierra Club, a wildlife preservation group. He will remain a convinced environmentalist and a member of the Sierra Club his entire life. His work will promote the goals of the Sierra Club and bring environmental issues to light. In 1932, Adams founded the group f/64 with photographer friend Edward Weston, to promote their independent and modernist vision of photography. It is with Fred Archer that Adams will develop the Zone System (1939-40), a technique which allows photographers to define the proper exposure on negatives and adjust the contrasts on the prints. The depth and clarity of Ansel Adam's photographs illustrate this technique. Initially, despite their size and weight, Ansel Adams used large format cameras as they offered a high resolution and a sharp image. The timeless photographs and the striking visual beauty clearly characterize Ansel Adams' photographs. In 1952, he was also one of the founders of Aperture magazine. He died in 1984 from a cardio Vascular disease. Shortly after his death in 1984, the Minarets Wilderness in the Inyo National Forest was renamed the Ansel Adams Wilderness. In 1985, a peak in Sierra Nevada, was named Mount Ansel Adams. He was survived by his wife, two children and 5 grand children.Source: The Ansel Adams Gallery
Fritz Liedtke
Fritz began photographing as a teen, carrying his Kodak 110 Instamatic around on a US tour with his father at age 14, in their little blue Datsun B210. Twenty-five years later, he continues to explore the world, camera in hand. In the intervening years, Fritz acquired a BFA in Photography; won numerous awards and grants for his work; enjoyed artist residencies in various places; had photographs published, collected, and shown in galleries and museums; wrote articles and essays for various publications; lectured and taught workshops on photography and the artistic life; and balanced both commercial and fine art practices. He also loves to travel. He is constantly looking for new ways to approach the world through art. Portland, Oregon is his home, along with his wife and daughter and their bright orange house.About Astra Velum: April, a freckled woman in this series, told me a story from her childhood: One day after playing outside, her grandmother asked her to go wash up. She went to the bathroom and did so, but grandma wasn't satisfied. "Your face isn't clean! Go scrub it some more!" The young girl was distraught, for all that was left on her skin were her freckles, and no amount of scrubbing would make them go away. In a world that flaunts flawlessness as the ideal, can we find real beauty in the blemishes? More than once, while photographing for this series, women thanked me for making something beautiful out of what they often viewed as an imperfection. At its essence, Astra Velum explores the beauty of flawed human skin, with its freckles and scars, overlaid upon us like a thin veil of stars. This series is hand-printed by the artist as a limited edition set of photogravures.

Community Newspapers and the Japanese-American Incarceration Camps
Community, Not Controversy
Ronald Bishop - With Morgan Dudkewitz; Alissa Falcone and Renee Daggett
Though much has been said about Japanese-American incarceration camps, little attention is paid to the community newspapers closest to the camps and how they constructed the identities and lives of the occupants inside. Dependent on government and military officials for information, these journalists rarely wrote about the violation of the evacuees' civil rights. Instead, they concentrated on the economic impact the camps—and the evacuees, who would replace workers off to enlist in the military and work for defense contractors—would have on the areas they covered. Newspapers like the Cody Enterprise and Powell Tribune in Wyoming, the Lamar Daily News, and the Casa Grande Dispatch regularly published overly optimistic updates on the progress of construction, the size of the contractor payrolls, and the amount of materials used to build the camps. Ronald Bishop and his coauthors reveal how journalists positioned the incarceration camps as a potential economic boon and how evacuees were framed as another community group, there to contribute to the region's economic well-being. Community Newspapers and the Japanese-American Incarceration Camps examines the rhetoric and journalistic approach of the local papers and how they informed the communities just outside their walls. This book will appeal to scholars of history and journalism.

Weddings of same-sex couples
St Mary's Cathedral is now taking bookings from same-sex couples following the vote in General Synod 2017 which allowed clergy in the Scottish Episcopal Church to be nominated to conduct such weddings.
As a same-sex couple, can we get married in St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow?
Yes – General Synod voted in June 2017 to allow clergy in the Scottish Episcopal clergy to be nominated to be able to conduct the marriages of same-sex couples. Not all Scottish Episcopal Church clergy will be nominated for this but there are such clergy at St Mary's. Members of St Mary's campaigned for this to be able to happen.
Can we exchange rings in church?
Yes – of course. It's a wedding.
Can we make vows to one another in church?
Bells? Choir? Organ? Photographs?
Yes – of course, on the same terms as for any other wedding.
What order of service can we use?
We use the Scottish Liturgy (2007) which has a lot of options that allow each couple getting married to personalise the service so that it matches who they are and says what they want to say.
Could we have our Civil Partnership or our Marriage blessed in St Mary's?
Yes – clergy in the Scottish Episcopal Church can bless a same-sex couple at the time of them registering a Civil Partnership or after entering into a marriage that has been conducted elsewhere.
So could we register a Civil Partnership in St Mary's?
The Scottish Episcopal Church has not chosen to allow Civil Partnerships to be registered in its churches. If you want a Civil Partnership then you need to have that conducted by a registrar and it can't take place in a Scottish Episcopal Church. You could come to church after a Civil Partnership and have a blessing if you wanted to.
How long have you been doing this kind of thing?
The first public same-sex blessing that we know about in St Mary's was conducted in 2008. However, the clergy here have been supportive of gay couples for decades and it would be surprising if a blessing of some kind or another had not been offered before then. The Scottish Episcopal Church decided in June 2017 to allow same-sex couples to get married in church.
What does the rest of the church think about same-sex couples being married?
The Christian Churches have divided views about same-sex couples getting married as they do about lots of things.
Doesn't the Bible have bad things to say about gay couples?
The Bible has a lot to say about a lot of things and the clergy and others in the congregation will be happy to chat more about how we understand the Bible in relation to same-sex couples. There is an LGBT network within the congregation. We believe that gay people and straight people are equally blessed and loved by God and that the Bible teaches us that this is so.
It is a gay church then?
St Mary's is a church working to be open, inclusive and welcoming. We don't think that God's love is limited – straight people are loved by God just as much as gay and lesbian people are loved by God.
Who do I talk to about this?
Speak to a member of the clergy whom you can contact via the Cathedral Office.

A: At the moment you're using two <canvas> elements to draw your wheels. I'd recommend using a single instance for creating each wheel initially. With the help of the canvas.toDataURL() you can store a snapshot of your canvas' content to a  element and re-use the two images to compose your final animation on the canvas.
To actually draw the animation we can utilize a combination of the translate(), rotate() and drawImage() methods. translate will move the context to a specific x & y position, rotate will rotate the canvas by a certain amount given in radians and drawImage will finally draw the given image at the context's current position.
To change the animation over time - like rotating the wheels - we need to re-trigger the animation function. This is done by the requestAnimationFrame() function which calls a given callBack function at the refreshrate of your monitor e.g. 60 times per second on a 60hz display.
For example:

let buttonDOM = document.createElement('canvas');
buttonDOM.id = 'outerWheel';
buttonDOM.width = 80;
buttonDOM.height = 60;
document.body.appendChild(buttonDOM);
ctx = document.getElementById('outerWheel').getContext('2d');
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.beginPath();
const smallLines = [0, 22.5, 45, 67.5, 90, 112.5, 135, 157.5, 180, 202.5, 225, 247.5, 270, 292.5, 315, 337.5];
ctx.fillStyle = "#76D7C4";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 80, 60);
ctx.arc(40, 30, 15, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
for (var angle of smallLines) {
  ctx.moveTo(40, 30);
  ctx.lineTo(40 + 17 * Math.cos(angle * Math.PI * 2 / 360), 30 + 17 * Math.sin(angle * Math.PI * 2 / 360));
}
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
let outerWheel = new Image();
outerWheel.src = buttonDOM.toDataURL();

ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, 80, 60);
ctx.arc(40, 30, 15, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
ctx.fill();
for (var angle of smallLines) {
  ctx.moveTo(40, 30);

(And the Rebels that Got Away)
A female Autumn Leaf showing evidence of a predatory strike
Contrary to what the title of this week's blog article may suggest, no, you won't get to hear stories about things that happened a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Or see pictures of Yoda or Darth Vader. This is still a butterfly blog, and we are still talking about butterflies. :)
A Commander with its right hindwing damaged : Predatory strike or wear and tear?
If you're also wondering what happened to spectacular photos of pristine and beautiful butterflies that this blog has become known for, this week's article is about strikes - predatory strikes and 'scars' of attacks on butterflies. In nature, butterflies are subject to dangers of all shapes and sizes in the form of predators whose sole objective is to eat the poor butterflies. In my earlier articles about predators (see : Death in the Wind), we featured a whole range of predators that feed on butterflies.
In this article, we show the embattled ones that "got away" with souvenirs of chipped, torn and badly damaged wings that these butterflies suffer from predatory strikes. In earlier articles discussing survival strategies, we had also shown how butterflies have tried to even the odds by employing the use of various 'tricks' to fool predators into either not noticing them altogether, or biting off a part of the wings that are less critical. (See Survival Strategies Part 1 and Part 2)
This invariably allows the victim of a predatory attack to escape alive, albeit without a portion of its wings intact. The surviving butterfly will be "crippled" but buys a few more hours or perhaps days of continued survival to either mate or lay eggs, and allowing it to fulfil its ecological function of procreation of the species.
A Great Mormon with a significant part of its left hindwing torn off by probably a predatory strike
Field observations by ButterflyCircle members have contributed valuable information and photographic records of predatory attacks on butterflies. Whilst there are no conclusive evidence of the type of predator that attacked these butterflies, the damage on the wings could give some forensic clues to the types of strikes that the butterflies had encountered.
The same individual of the male Great Mormon using its forewings to continue to fly and feed
For those butterflies with a symmetrical tear on both wings, a likely predator would be birds, that had tried to take a bite at the victims, but obviously missed delivering a fatal strike. The escaped butterfly continues to go about its daily business, but without a part of its wings. It is quite amazing to consider how much wing material is removed, before the butterfly it totally crippled and unable to fly.
In spite of its aposematic colours, this female Malay Lacewing is not spared a predatory strike
Despite the damage, many of these predator-struck butterflies appear to be still able to fly relatively 'normally'. However in some cases, the ability to shift into high gear and take off at their usual speeds is drastically reduced, suggesting that a 2nd attack by a predator would most likely be fatal. Furthermore, the erratic flight of the damaged butterfly would also call attention to itself and the weakened flight would almost certainly attract nearby predators to attack a "sitting duck".
A "one-armed" Commander with its left forewing substantially bitten off
In cases where the wing damage is asymmetrical, e.g. only one side of the wings are torn, it could suggest that the butterfly was sunbathing with its wings opened flat, and the predator managed to take a chunk off one wing as it struck but missed. However, it will be almost impossible to conclude if the predator was a bird, a lizard, a shrew or any other attacker with mouth parts large enough to take a piece off the butterfly's wing.
The typical behaviour of the butterfly species is also quite consistent with the types of damage on the wings. For example, a ground lurker like the Ypthima species are more likely to be attacked by a reptile whilst it is sunbathing on a low bush. Some field examples tend to show asymmetrical bite marks on one side of the wings only.
A Dark Blue Jungle Glory with a symmetrical bite mark on its hindwings
For a Dark Blue Jungle Glory, that spends most of its day foraging amongst litter on the forest floor, its most likely attacker would be a snake, lizard or a small mammal?
The fast flying Blue Jay that shows hindwings that bear evidence of a predator strike
Even the "turbo-charged" butterfly species, that are usually skittish and fly at tremendous speeds, are not spared predatory attacks. Despite their propensity for high-speed flights and alertness, no butterfly can continue to do so all the time. When they come down from lofty perches to rest or feed, that is when a lurking predator has an opportune time to launch a strike at the butterfly.
Where are my light sabres? A "swordless" Five Bar Swordtail - a probable victim of a predator strike
Examples shown here, are two fast flying Paplionidae species, where under normal circumstances are very alert and skittish, and rarely give any chances for predators to chase and attack them when in full flight. However, it is likely that their torn hindwings are examples of predatory strikes that occur when they were at rest or puddling.
The near-symmetrical bite marks on these two different Flash species suggest a predator attacking the "wrong" side of the butterfly allowing it to escape alive
The Lycaenidae, which employ decoy tactics whereby a predator is fooled into attacking a less vital part of its wings, often show evidence that this survival strategy does work quite successfuly in the field.
Two Lycaenids with their tornal areas bitten off
We have come across quite a number of individuals that display scars of such attacks, where the hindwings are torn in a symmetrical manner, suggesting that the predator had been fooled into attacking the "wrong" side of the butterfly where its false eyes and antennae are located.
Can this poor Peacock Pansy actually still fly?
Yet other species, which feature eyespots and rings on their hindwings, appear to also show signs of attacks on the parts of their wings where the false eyes are located. Again, in the shown example of the Chocolate Pansy below, a large part of the hindwings has been bitten off, yet it continued to fly and glide quite normally... until the next (and probably fatal) strike occurs.
The near symmetrical tear on both the hindwings suggest a predatory strike when the butterfly was resting with its wings folded upright
And so we see a part of the daily survival of a butterfly, whose life is always fraught with dangers of being a lucky predator's lunch (or not), and how it manages to escape with its life to "fight" for another day. Whilst the exact nature and the actual predator cannot be easily concluded from these pictures, they show some evidence where the clues help to piece together some possible theories as to what attacked these butterflies.
Even this fast-flying Common Snow Flat shows damaged hindwings. Evidence of predatory strike? Or just damage caused by old age?

Reaktionsbinden ist ein werkstoffspezifisches Verfahren aus dem Bereich der keramischen Werkstoffe, bei dem ein Metall mit einem Gas reagiert. Alle diese Reaktionen sind exothermer Natur, da Energie freigesetzt wird.
Am bekanntesten ist das reaktionsgebundene Siliciumnitrid (RBSN), bei dem das metallische Silicium mit einer Stickstoffatmosphäre das entsprechende Nitrid bildet (dabei können reiner Stickstoff oder Ammoniumverbindungen verwendet werden).
RBSN ist ein rein synthetischer Werkstoff, der kein natürliches Vorkommen in der Erdkruste aufweist.

Weitere Vertreter dieses Verfahrens sind reaktionsgebundenes Siliciumcarbid (RSiC), reaktionsgebundenes Aluminiumoxid (RBAO), reaktionsgebundener Mullit (RBM), reaktionsgebundenes Magnesiumoxid (RBMO) usw.
Alle diese Reaktionsprodukte sind von besonders hoher chemischer Reinheit.

Charakteristisch für das Reaktionsbinden ist die Volumenzunahme während der thermischen Reaktion, wodurch  die Sinterschrumpfung teilweise kompensiert werden kann. Bedingt durch die Exothermie bei der Herstellung können nur kleinformatige Bauteile reaktionsgebunden werden. Bei größeren Abmessungen sind die thermischen Spannungen bei unsachgemäßer Temperaturführung dann zu groß und führen zu Rissbildung im Sinterkörper. Um dies zu vermeiden, sind nur geringe Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten (ca. 0,5 - 1 K/min) möglich, typisch und charakteristisch für das Reaktionsbinden.

Die Anwendungsgebiete reichen von der Technischen Keramik bis zum Einsatz als feuerfester Werkstoff.

Das RBAO-Verfahren
RBAO ist die Abkürzung für Reaction Bonded Aluminum Oxide (reaktionsgebundenes Aluminiumoxid).
Vorläufer dieses Verfahrens war die direkte Schmelzoxidation (DMO - Verfahren: direct melting oxidation). Dabei wird ein poröser Körper mit einer Metallschmelze infiltriert und anschließend oxidiert.
Beim RBAO wird das Metall Aluminium und Aluminiumoxid in geeigneten Mühlen auf Korngrößen im 1-µm-Bereich zerkleinert. Als Mahlflüssigkeiten werden Alkohole oder Öle verwendet, um eine frühzeitige Oxidation der Metallphase zu vermeiden.
Nach der Trocknung des Versatzes werden die Körper idealerweise isostatisch gepresst, oxidiert und bei bis zu 1600 °C gesintert.
Die Biegefestigkeit ist aufgrund des feinkörnigen Gefüges etwas höher als bei klassischer Korund-Keramik.

Die Modifikation RBM
Der reaktionsgebundene Mullit (RBM) ist eine weitere Modifikation des RBAO - Verfahrens, dabei werden ebenfalls Aluminium und zusätzlich Silicium, oder Siliciumcarbid (SiC), oder Zirkon (Zirkoniumsilikat) und Korund als Rohstoffe verwendet. Beim Einsatz von SiC besteht die Möglichkeit eine "Nullschrumpfungskeramik" zu erzeugen, die Sinterschrumpfung wird durch die Oxidation des SiC und die damit verbundene Volumenzunahme kompensiert. Auf eine vollständige Oxidation des SiC muss geachtet werden (kleine Korngrößen, intensive Aufbereitung, Temperaturführung usw.), sonst verbleibt ein Rest-Anteil an SiC, der sich festigkeitsmindernd auswirken kann.

Q: Is there a word for days of mental clarity? You hear about these a lot in people with Alzheimers. This can also happen to normal people when they eat right and get a good night's sleep and feel very clear headed.
I am looking for a more formal word, as opposed to informal (e.g. A-game days would be informal)
Is there a term, preferably one word, that describes this phenomenon?

A: They have lucid days.

Showing or having the ability to think clearly, especially in intervals between periods of confusion or insanity:

but it's not usually applied to people whose mental processes are normal all the time.
Example:

"We have heard from several people that close relatives with Alzheimer's disease became amazingly lucid for short periods of time after receiving narcotic pain relievers."

Olympian Nick Symmonds made $21,800 as he sold nine inches of ad space on his shoulder.
Nick Symmonds, a two-time U.S. Olympian at 800 meters, sold nine inches of ad space on his right shoulder for $21,800 on Ebay after 107 bids. T-Mobile CEO John Legere won the auction.
Symmonds, 32, first pulled off the feat ahead of the 2012 U.S. Olympic trials and fetched $11,100 from a Wisconsin-based marketing firm, Hanson Dodge Creative. He will use his left shoulder to advertise his own company, Run Gum.
Due to the rules, Symmonds has previously worn a bandage over the tattoo, which he believes brings more attention to both the company and his cause.
 Symmonds did not go on to compete at the world championships as he refused to sign a statement of conditions that would require him to wear Nike apparel at all times. He felt the wording of the statement was unfair to his sponsor, Brooks Running. Symmonds left Nike after a seven-year relationship and signed with Brooks in 2014.
Symmonds will open the 2016 season at the Shanghai Diamond League meet on May 14.

A visit to Reflections, a program of the Ted Mann Family Resource Center in Los Angeles, where you will see a breast prothesis fitting and meet some extraordinary survivors.
DIANNE: When somebody first comes in and they know that they're going to need one or they do need one, the first thing you do is show them a variety of bras and show them the different types and let them hold them in their hands because it's very traumatic, and you want them to feel that they know a little bit about it.
You don't want to just hand them one and say this is what you're going to wear. And then you take them into the dressing room and measure them and let them try different ones because everybody's comfort zone is in a different place. You might think one is perfect and it's not the one that they want to wear.
DIANNE: Hi Bonnie, how are you?
DIANNE: Are you ready for a new prosthesis?
BONNIE: I'm ready. I need one.
BONNIE: You know, they found the lump, I found the lump and right away we just did a mastectomy because it was a large lump so they didn't even work on it. And then I went through all the chemos and the, you know AC and Taxotere, and then about three months later, I got metastasized breast cancer. So it went to the bones in my femur and my pelvis and in my liver. So for five years I've been on chemo straight. I have not stopped. I'm out of them almost. They keep finding new ones.
DIANNE: And what we do basically is measure you as though you were getting a bra. And all the bras that hold a prosthesis come with little pockets inside and the pocket then will hold the prosthesis.
So when you get a prosthesis and you put it in your hand, it feels very heavy, but if you cup it over here on your hip bone with your hand underneath, that is what your breast weighs and it does feel much more natural than if you hold it like this.
So once you get your bra and you get fitted, it's basically like this, one side you don't have a breast and one side you do. So we find the bra that fits you the best that's also the color you want and then the next thing is the prosthesis. The prosthesis will go inside the pocket, inside the bra and it gets adjusted like so.
DIANNE: There are different types of prostheses. There are ones that are right-sided and left-sided according to what you need.
There are triangles like this that fit the majority of people.
We also have some prostheses that also have adhesive on the back that you stick on and you can wear a regular bra and you just peel it off at night and wash it and when it's dry the next day it'll stick on you again.
And then there are some that have a little extra fullness either in the center or on the side because depending on your surgery and your surgeon is how your body is shaped afterwards. We're not all shaped the same way after the surgery and so they have made various prostheses for that.
DIANNE: Look in the mirror both ways and you'll see this is how you'll look in clothes.
BONNIE: See if they're even.
DIANNE: You can see if they're in the right position.
DIANNE: It's all a matter of moving around to make it as close to nature as we can – and comfortable.
DIANNE: Everything dealing with cancer is emotional and this little store is a very emotional store. We deal with the person who's just been diagnosed and wants to cry and the person who's gone through the surgery and now feels horrible because they're going through treatment. We deal with all the emotions and you just learn to do it. You, if you've been there, it's a lot easier because you totally understand and so that's why a lot of us in here are here and it does make it easier for the patients.
