With the 29th Pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft the Chicago Blackhawks Have Selected Henri Jokiharju From the Portland Winterhawks in the WHL.
Jokiharju is a 6 foot, 170 pound right shooting defenseman — a position coveted in the NHL these days. He is originally from Finland and is a naturally gifted puck-mover.
Also a solid two-way defender, Jokiharju is an excellent skater with great speed and loads of offensive potential. He transitions from offense to defense easily and is a solid puck handler, all of which he can do at top speed. He has excellent vision and hockey sense, often making the right call in high-pressure situations.
Still, to be effective in the NHL, he needs to add upper body strength. He likes to play a physical and aggressive game, but that's a different animal at the pro level. Getting stronger will help him win those one-on-one puck battles a more force behind his movements will give him a more effective shot from the blue line, which could lead to him seeing time on a top power play unit.
Jokiharju played in 71 WHL contests and completed the 2016-17 regular season with 49 points. He was the third-highest scoring defenseman on the Winterhawks and scored four goals of his nine goals on the power play. In playoffs for Portland, he added three assists in 11 games.
Jokiharju's biggest asset is his skating ability. He is fluid and shows a good first step as well as solid straight line speed and transitions easily from forward to backwards. He has the mobility to get himself and the puck up the ice and above-average offensive instincts.
Adding it all together, Jokiharju is the type of defender you want coming up the ice with the puck on his stick. He has the moves to make a forechecker miss and the puck control to keep it away from the opposition. His passing skills are excellent and his shot is of average velocity but he gets the puck on net with regularity in the offensive zone.
It's never a bad practice to draft someone out of the Portland Winterhawks system. That organization has a reputation for producing high-quality NHL smooth-skating defenders. In fact, they pump out NHL prospects as well, if not better, than almost anyone.
The Blackhawks already have Ville Pokka and Gustav Forsling in their system and Jokiharju gives them more depth and a potential area of blue line strength down the road. With the loss of Trevor van Riemsdyk and Niklas Hjarmlsson over the past couple days, this is a good time to be a defensive prospect in Chicago. The team has gotten younger and less expensive and they need their prospects to play a significant role in their organization. The Blackhawks are hoping Jokiharju can do that in the next couple of years.


Bull Terrier dogs are considered to be powerful but friendly. This breed is always longing for attention and is also always ready to play. Similar to other types of terriers, people consider the Bulls as dogs filled with tenacity and a bit of stubbornness. However, they love participating in activities together with their owners. These dogs are alert and capable of performing complex task with agility, energy, and determination. Although considered as tenacious, Bull Terriers are child-friendly because they are not easily annoyed by how children play. They do not even bark except for the situation that they feel threatening or cases that owners must be alerted. These dogs are energetic, and owners must keep in mind that Bull Terrier dogs should be controlled as early as possible. Otherwise, they might become aggressive and destructive.
Most Bull Terrier dogs were muscular and obviously built with a strong body structure. The entire body is quite round, and the back of this breed is quite short. The head of the Bulls is a bit long and oval. The head appears to be flat over the top that slopes lightly down to the dog's nose. A typical Bull Terrier has a black nose. The shape of its eyes is similar to that of an almond that appears with depth and dark. The ears, on the other hand, are small and thinner compared to the other terriers. In addition, the ears are a bit closer to each other unlike the typical ear structure of dogs. The neck of these dogs were long and adjacent to it is the dog's bulk and muscular shoulders. The coat of a Bull Terrier is quite dense, flat, and short. People may find some of these dogs in pure white while some can also be found in various colors.
In the past, a lot of people find this breed strong, aggressive, and to be approached with caution. Nowadays, people consider the breed much gentler than before. Its temper is quite repressed; however, when crucial situation comes, the Bull Terrier is always ready to protect its owner from any harm. This breed cannot be considered as a guarding dog; however, owners still find the Bull Terrier as a pet for protection. Dogs under this breed have the courage to protect their owner. Loyalty, fun, and obedience are simply a natural part of their character.
The breed developed and recognized in the nineteenth century. Experts claimed that the breed is a crossing of an English Bull Dog together with an English Terrier. The terrier ancestor of the Bull Terriers is now extinct. From the very beginning, most people failed to recognize this breed correctly. They always associate the Bull Terrier dogs to the American Pit Bull Terrier dogs. Remember, the two are unrelated. Looking back at how the breed became popular, people will notice that the Bull Terrier dogs joined some Hollywood movies. This fact is not surprising because this breed is extremely obedient and has strong mental capabilities.
Grooming is neither a difficult task nor a burden to consider for a Bull Terrier dog. Most owners can brush them on a weekly basis. Brushing their coat is extremely beneficial because it will help to maintain the shine of their luscious coating. At the same time, brushing will lessen the amount of hair that the dog sheds. The coating of this breed is quite sensitive to seasonal changes. During spring or fall, their hair sheds more than the average so owners should plan their grooming sessions accordingly. Experts highly recommend that owners should brush the coating of their Bull Terriers daily when spring or fall comes.
Daily bathing is not necessary for this terrier breed. People may opt to use dry shampoo for dogs instead of bathing the Bull Terrier dogs each and every day. The dry shampoo and a damp cloth will help owners to make the Bull Terrier dogs look fresh and smell pleasant. As a basic rule for dogs, this breed must also be checked for possible ear infection. Ear irritation and infection should be treated with expert-approved treatment solution. Brushing the dog's teeth should also be done every week in order to prevent tartar build up and foul breath.
Overfeeding this breed of dog should be avoided as much as possible. This certain breed of terriers can easily gain weight compared to other terriers. Their life span ranges from 10 to 12 years. The dogs under this breed are likely to experience a dislocation of kneecaps, cardiovascular ailments, kidney deficiencies, and allergies. The Bull Terrier dogs are also like to experience zinc deficiency, which cause most of their death rates. In addition, they are also likely to become deaf if ear infections are left untreated and worsen.
A lot of owners love this breed as a pet because these dogs are always active and playful. This breed has the tendency to become attached to a certain individual in the family. However, during the mealtime of these dogs, it is best not to disturb them because they tend to become more aggressive when eating. Moderate exercise is enough for this breed which makes it more suitable as a pet for any household.
The best training course for Bull Terrier dogs is obedience training. A full-sized Bull Terrier dog is stronger than the other dogs in similar size. Training should be done as early as possible because this breed is difficult to train when it reaches adulthood. Dogs in this breed are intelligent and capable of learning quickly. However, they tend to become stubborn or disobedient because of their strong will. The secret when training Bull Terrier lies on patience and consistency.

Filofun – plecionka wykonywana metodą pętelkową z różnobarwnych żyłek lub sznurków.

Znane wzory podają wykorzystanie 3. lub 4. ściegów zaplatanych krzyżowo jeden za drugi. Plecionki mogą mieć prosty kształt lub tworzy się z nich skomplikowane struktury: bransolety, breloki i inne ozdoby, a nawet rzeźby. Do zaplatania filofunów wykorzystuje się zwykle od 2. do 8. żyłek lub sznurków, chociaż zdarzają się przypadki, w których filofuny wykonane są np. z 10. żyłek.

Plecionki tego typu po raz pierwszy pojawiły się we Francji na przełomie lat 50. i 60. Renesans popularności filofun nastąpił około roku 2005, kiedy podbiły rynek zabawek dla dzieci.

W Polsce plecionki takie nazywa się  zwykle filofun od włoskiego filo – nić i angielskiego fun – zabawa, lecz w innych krajach znane są pod innymi nazwami. Najczęściej spotykana to scoubidou, od piosenki Sachy Distela pod tym samym tytułem.

Ontario just got a brand new Craft GIN Trail
June 24, 2022 June 27, 2022 by Agatha Podgorski
Ontario's first-ever Craft Gin Trail is here and it promises to serve up a self-guided tour for gin lovers of some of the most distinctive distilleries in Southwestern Ontario!

On the trail, you'll find Dixon's Distilled Spirits of Guelph, who produces an award-winning line of hand-crafted, all-Canadian artisanal gins; Elora Distilling Company of Elora, who makes a line of four gins from local ingredients, as well as a seasonal gins; Junction 56 Distillery of Stratford the uses a unique distillation process and a select mix of local botanicals to give traditional gin a fresh twist; Silver Fox Distillery of Arthur, the only fully woman-owned distillery on the trail, uses locally sourced grains and botanicals to craft award-winning spirits; Spring Mill Distillery of Guelph, which embraces time-honoured distilling traditions and historic roots that stretch back more than 200 years to bring gin and spirits to aficionados today; and finally, Willibald Farm Distillery & Brewery of Ayr, a Feast On Certified distillery that crafts gin and spirits from products grown right on the farm.
These are creators who have turned away from the industrialized world of massed produced spirits and revived the hand-crafted methods from a bygone era. They are connecting with local farmers to source fresh ingredients, and they are experimenting with unique flavours in small batches.
The trail is just an hour long drive from Toronto and takes your through charming towns and rolling countryside between Guelph, Stratford, Elora, Arthur and Ayr. Stop into any one of the towns along the way to learn about the artisan history of the region and what makes it so special!

Accra, April 4, GNA - Pointing out the dire consequences of alcoholism, Parliament on Tuesday stressed the need for the nation to adopt legislations to regulate alcohol advertisement to reduce the rising incidence among the youth.
"It is better to build the youth than to mend the men of old," Mr Ernest Norgbey, Member of Parliament (MP) of Ashaiman said in a statement on the floor.
He said the initiation of the youth into alcohol through parental influence and the larger society could be controlled by the schools, religious organisations and the society as a whole. "As legislators, it is imperative that we do something about the most common and biggest medium; Advertisements.
He pointed out that alcohol advertisement was one cause of youth drinking, and that consumers took alcoholic beverages for reasons such as; socialisation, relaxation and peer pressure and it could be concluded that advertisement had the power to influence consumption patterns.
Quoting several authorities, Mr Norgbey pointed out the use of celebrities who appealed to the youth commercials to lure them into drinking, adding that children also watched and listened to the commercials, predisposed the nation to a time bomb, and it was only a matter of time before it would explode.
He called on the National Media Commission and the Foods and Drugs Authority to impose sanctions and deal adequately with culprits who disregarded the law.
Summing up contributions on the issue, Rev Prof Aaron Mike Oquaye, the Speaker of Parliament, condemned the situation where some politicians allowed minors who had not attained the legal voting age and inferred that, thinking that they were of age may start taking alcohol to show that they were adults.
"If they start from the voters' register, the end is alcohol consumption," the Speaker cautioned, adding that "let's consider it at the Committee levels and bring it back for more discussion."
In a contribution, Dr Bernard Okoe Boye, MP for Ledzokuku, who is also a physician, noted that 80 per cent of liver diseases in Ghana were related to alcohol, and stressed that the nation had to be aggressive in getting the youth way from alcohol.
He said there was the need to draw balance between the business and health aspects of the alcohol industry, stating that at most one could take not in excess of 20 units of alcohol in a week.
Deputy Majority Leader Adwoa Safo and her counterpart James Avedzi who spoke on the use of alcohol, warned against its contribution to the loss of limbs, sexual escapades leading to unprepared parenthood and other social challenges.
Ms Safo called for a law, as Washington DC did for the youth to exhibit a form of documentation that showed they were matured before alcohol was sold to them.

Hello guys I have discovered some really important stuff about curtain fabrics you really need to know about curtain fabrics before you commit your hard earned money. I know that few of you may think what's new in this, but I should say you guys will surely miss out some important stuff. So V Furnish is here o make your task little bit easier.
You may think that just following some basic rules will save you a lot of heartache and disappointment. But it's a fact you have to accept it.
Initially I must say that there is no such thing as a perfect piece of drapery fabric! You may wonder, don't worry I'll make you clear. If you review any piece of fabric hard enough you will find a flaw of some kind. Either in the weave or knit of the fabric or the dye used in it. Even the way the fabric made up in to curtains and hangs.
Apart from that what you should be looking for a good piece of fabric? Is that one that has no obvious flaws or blemishes? Or it's all about small holes or big problems with the weave of the fabric. We are constrained only with these questions. Obviously there are some other criteria which we have to consider while looking for curtain fabric.
We all know that today people love online shopping even if they mess up sometime; they are not at all bothered about the online cheating and dupes. So here we are suggesting some ideas and tips for purchasing curtain fabrics from online.
If you see some branded fabrics in online that is selling for a very low price. Think that it is not being sold cheap because it has been returned as faulty fabric by another customer. Just ask them before you commit to buy. Sometimes it can be cheap fabric because that design or color has been discontinued and outdated.
Another big problem that mismatches of fabric color .Don't relies on the exact shade of the color. The color you see on your screen being the one you actually get will be different. If you think the colour shade is critical then contact the seller and ask them to send you a small sample.
This is again related to the fabric colour but in a different way is the colour match. This problem arises if you are buying more than one piece of curtain fabric. You must ensure that those pieces fabric have come of the same roll of fabric or at least they belong to same dye batch at the manufacturers.
The another problem is if you are buying curtain fabrics from online auctions rather than online fabric retailers. You may think this is a bonus but you should check with the seller that the fabric is being sold as "perfect".
That all folks. If you are planning on making your curtains, then take a look at V Furnish and make your perfect choice with us.

When it comes to AdWords management, you don't want to underestimate the effectiveness of call extensions. They are especially useful if you run a service-based business and your initial contact with potential customers is usually over the phone.
While giving customers a chance to call you simply by clicking on an ad sounds wonderful, it can be a waste of money and time if you're not doing it right.
– Keep the callout text short and to the point. Google recommends a maximum of 15 characters per callout, although the limit is 25. Using proper sentence structure is more preferred than capitalizing every word.
– Decide whether it would be ideal for you to install Call Tracking or use a Google forwarding number. If your business has a high enough budget to establish a contract with a call tracking service provider, you should do so. You will receive an immeasurable wealth of data. If you don't have a high enough budget, you can use Google's forwarding number service to see which clicks and keywords convert to calls.
– Use enhanced call extensions to target tablets and desktops only, mobile devices only, or all three. Businesses targeting all three can assign one extension to PCs and tablets and the other to mobile devices. The setup for each enhanced campaign differs, so be sure to follow directions.
– It's recommended that you wait for at least 5,000 impressions making any optimizations. You need to determine whether you need to spend more money on campaigns, keyword bidding, ad groups, etc.
– Decide if it would be in your company's best interest to use location extensions. This type of extension is worthwhile if you run a brick and mortar business and want to reach out to local consumers. You can even link your AdWords and Google Places account together so that your star ratings will potentially appear right next to your location extension in your ads.
– If your online business is global, you must enter YOUR country and company phone number rather than the country of your targeted demographic when setting up the call extension. Enter this information after selecting the "Google Forwarding Number" in the "Show ad with…" option.
– Through AdWords management, you can specify the times that you want the call ads to be displayed. If you don't run a 24/7 hour business, you can set the ads to be displayed during business hours only.
– You'll be able to collect data such as phone impressions. This includes the number of times your forwarding phone number was displayed on devices that are incapable of making phone calls, such as desktops, older laptops and tablets.
– You'll also be able to collect information about the number of calls made to the forwarding phone number as well as the phone-through rate.
– Call conversion tracking gives you the chance to utilize advanced, custom bid strategy tools such as Conversion Optimizer, ROAS bidding, Enhanced CPC bidding, etc.
– Completed calls through the (free) Google forwarding number are reported to the AdWords interface. You'll know which ad(s) are generating the clicks and which keyword(s) are used to initiate the search.
By incorporating the right strategies into your campaign along with the best tools available, you will learn a lot about what is working and what is not. This will enable you to make better decisions with your AdWords management.

Images of satellite passages, often of the Space Station.
Tracks of the Geosats
This short video, below, captures time-lapses of the trails of geostationary satellites through southern Orion. It demonstrates the "crowded sky" we now have above us.
If you have tried photographing the Orion Nebula and Sword of Orion area with long tracked exposures you have no doubt seen these trails in your photos. Here I shot to purposely capture them in a time-lapse, for demonstration purposes.
Please note, these are not Starlink satellites. So do not blame Elon Musk for these!
These are the much more established geostationary or "geosynchronous" satellites that orbit 35,785 kilometres above Earth and so take 24 hours to orbit the planet. As such they remain apparently motionless over the same spot on Earth, allowing fixed dish antennas to aim at them.
(For more about geosats see the Wikipedia page.)
So why are they moving here?
The camera is on a mount that is tracking the sky as it turns from east to west, so the stars are staying still. What would normally be satellites fixed in one spot in the sky (after all, they are called "geostationary" for a reason) instead trail into short streaks traveling from west to east (right to left) in the frame. But in reality, it is the stars that are in motion behind the satellites.
The region of sky in Orion below the Orion Nebula (the object at top) lies south of the line that bisects the sky into northern and southern halves called the "celestial equator." Most geostationary satellites also orbit in Earth's equatorial plane and so appear along a belt near the celestial equator in the sky.
This chart from SkySafari shows the belt of geosats through southern Orion with the satellites identified. The green box is the field of view of the telescope (shown below) that I used to take the time-lapses.
In this video, however, they appear about 5° to 7° south of the celestial equator (which runs through the famous Belt of Orion off frame at top). That's because I live north of the equator of the Earth, at a latitude of 51° north. So parallax makes the geosat belt appears south of the celestial equator in my sky. From a site in the southern hemisphere the geosat belt would appear north of the celestial equator.
You'll notice some satellites travelling diagonally — they are not geosats. You'll also see some flashing or pulsing satellites — they are likely tumbling objects, perhaps spent rocket boosters.
The satellites are visible because they are high enough to reflect sunlight even in the middle of the night, as the sequences each end about 11:30 to midnight local time.
But in this video the satellites are not flaring — this is their normal brightness. During flare season around the two equinoxes geosats can become bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye. For a video of that phenomenon see my video shot in October 2020, below.
TECH DETAILS FOR "TRACKS OF THE GEOSATS" VIDEO:
The video at top contains time-lapses shot on two nights: January 18 and 20, 2021. Both are made from hundreds of frames taken through a William Optics RedCat astrograph at f/5 with a 250mm focal length. The field of view is 8° by 5.5°.
The William Optics RedCat 51mm f/5 astrographic refactor.
Each exposure is 30 seconds long, taken at a one second interval. The camera was a Canon 6D MkII at ISO 3200 on January 18 and ISO 1600 on January 20 in the brighter moonlight that night.
In the first sequence from January 18 the equatorial mount, an Astro-Physics Mach1, is left to track on its own and is unguided. So the stars wobble back and forth slightly due to periodic error in the mount. The field also drifts north due to slight misalignment on the pole. Clouds pass through the field during the shoot.
In the second clip from January 20, taken with a quarter Moon lighting the sky, the mount was autoguided, using an MGEN3 auto-guider. So the stars remained better fixed over the 5.5 hours of shooting. A slight glitch appears near the end where I swapped camera batteries, and the camera turned ever so slightly causing the stars to enlarge a bit for a moment.
LRTimelapse at work processing the second sequence, deflickering some of the oddly exposed frames.
The frames were processed in Adobe Camera Raw and LRTimelapse
TimeLapse DeFlicker at work assembling the video, showing its All Frames + Lighten blend mode for the Accumulating version of clip #2.
I then assembled exported JPGs with TimeLapseDeFlicker, using a 3-frame Lighten blend mode to lengthen the trails. The final version was assembled with TLDF's All Frames mode (shown above) where every frame gets stacked for an accumulated total, to show the busy sky traffic!

Lilac Passages of the ISS
I present a short video, in 4K, of two video clips of the International Space Station in two successive passages across the sky on May 24/25, 2018.
The location was my backyard in southern Alberta.
The clips were shot in 4K in real-time video at 24 frames per second but with a 1/4-second shutter speed with a Sony a7III camera, and with 15mm full-frame fish-eye (first clip) and 8mm circular fish-eye lenses. ISO speeds were 6400 and 16,000.
The clips are sped up by 2x and 4X in post-production to make a shorter video for the web. The background sounds of the night are real-time and were recorded live with the videos.
What I cannot capture is the smell!
The lilacs were in bloom and lent a wonderful fragrant scent to the night air, which added to the sights and sounds of a spring night.
Thus the title of the video.
Much of North America is now enjoying great passes of the ISS. To find out when you can see it from your backyard see NASA's Spot the Station website and enter your location.

Night of the Space Station
The Space Station is now continuously lit by sunlight, allowing me to capture dusk-to-dawn passages of the ISS.
On the night of May 31/June 1 I was able to shoot four passages of the International Space Station on successive orbits, at 90-minute intervals, from dusk to dawn.
The first passage, at 11:06 p.m., was low across the south. It's the image at top.
Then at 12:45 a.m. the Space Station came over again, now directly overhead. It's the image above. The Moon is the bright glow at bottom.
One orbit later, at 2:21 a.m., the Station came over in another overhead pass in the bright moonlight.
The final passage of the night came at 3:55 a.m. as the sky was brightening with dawn twilight and the Moon was setting. This was another passage across the south, and made for the most photogenic pass of the night.
Here's an edited movie of the four passes, with a little music just for fun.
Seeing the Space Station on not one but two, three, or even four orbits in one night is possible at my latitude of 50 degrees north around summer solstice because the Station is now continuously lit by sunlight — the Sun never sets from the altitude of the ISS.
When the ISS should be entering night, sunlight streaming over the north pole still lights the Station at its altitude of 400 km.
To shoot the time-lapse clips and stills I used 8mm and 15mm fish-eye lenses, and a 14mm ultra-wide lens.
The bright moonlight made it possible to use short 2- to 4-second exposures, allowing me to record enough frames at each passage to make the little movies of the ISS flying across the sky. Keep in mind, to the eye, the ISS looks like a bright star. Some image processing trickery adds the tapering trails.
I used the Advanced Stacker Actions from StarCircleAcademy.com to create the trail effects, and to stack the time-lapse frames into single composite still images. The gaps in the trails are from the one second interval between frames.

Meteors and Space Stations over Mt. Cephren
A couple of Perseid meteors streak across the moonlit sky above Mt. Cephren in Banff National Park.
The night before the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower was very clear for the first couple of hours. On Monday, August 11, I positioned myself at the shore of Lower Waterfowl Lake, at a roadside viewpoint on the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park, Alberta.
I had two cameras going, one on a fixed tripod aimed west in hope of catching some meteors in a few frames. Two did, and the main image is a composite of those two frames, as the Perseids shoot over the pyramid peak of Mt. Cephren.
Later, the Space Station also flew over, accompanied by the European ATV cargo ship, captured here in a stack of 18 frames from the 555-frame time-lapse, showing their pass from west to east (bottom to top) of the composite image. The gaps are from when the shutter was closed for 1 second between the 15-second-long exposures with the 14mm ultra-wide lens.
In all, it was a warm and beautiful night, with the normally busy viewpoint all to myself all night, under the light of the nearly Full Moon.
The mountains by moonlight are truly magical.

Fireflies Dancing on Solstice Eve
A field of fireflies dances under the stars on the eve of summer solstice.
On Friday, June 20, the night before summer solstice, I had a superb night at home watching storm clouds, fireflies and the glow of perpetual solstice twilight.
June is firefly season and on a warm night I see them dancing and flickering above the grassy field. They appear here as green sparkles and streaks, with the stars above and Milky Way just showing through in the blue of a solstice twilight.
Flashes from distant lightning help illuminate the ground and clouds.
These frames are from a time-lapse sequence, with the frame above picking up few fireflies. But it did reveal the streak from an Iridium satellite flaring in the sunlight as it flew overhead.
While the sky from my latitude of 51° North never gets dark at this time of year it is filled with other beautiful sky glows and phenomena.

What Was That Glow in the Sky?
Here's a time-lapse of the strange glow of light that moved across the northern sky on the night of the Camelopardalid meteor shower.
What I thought was an odd curtain of slow-moving, colourless aurora — and I've seen those before — has many people who also saw it suspecting it was a glow from a fuel dump from an orbiting satellite. Perhaps.
This short time-lapse of 22 frames covers about 22 minutes starting at 11:59 pm MDT on May 23 (as logged by the camera's GPS). Each frame is a 60-second exposure taken at 2 second intervals. I'm playing them back at one frame per second.
The camera was on a tracking platform to follow the stars — thus the ground slowly rotates. This was one of the cameras I had operating the night of May 23-24 to capture meteors from the Camelopardalid meteor shower. The shower was a dud, but …
The most interesting thing my cameras did catch was this odd glow which started large and diffuse and then became more defined as it got smaller and moved off (or so it appears) to the north, then fades away. My photos (and I have it on frames from another camera), and photos taken by other observers across North America, show a faint satellite moving along south to north parallel to the cloud's long axis. Is this the culprit that caused the cloud? If so, it would have to be very high to be seen from a wide range of longitudes – astronomers in Manitoba and Minnesota also saw and shot it.
But any fuel dumps I've seen always have clouds that start small and concentrated then become large and diffuse. This did the opposite.
I'll await further analysis and explanation.
P.S.: You can watch a better version of the movie here at my Flickr site.

Space Station Over a Star Party
The Space Station flies over a campground of astronomers awaiting the fall of darkness.
Last night was the main night for summer star parties, being a dark-of-the-Moon Saturday in August. As I usually am each year, I was in Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan, attending the annual Saskatchewan Summer Star Party. About 330 attended this year, a near record year.
The night was partly cloudy but stayed clear enough for long enough to allow great views. As the sky was getting dark the International Space Station flew over from horizon to horizon, west to east, passing nearly overhead. I had a camera and ultra-wide lens ready and caught the pass in 10 exposures, each 30 seconds long, here stacked in Photoshop. The accumulated exposure time also makes the stars trail in circles around the North Star at upper right.
It was one of many fine sky sights hundreds of stargazers enjoyed this weekend at the SSSP, and no doubt at dozens of other star parties around the continent this weekend.
Star and Satellite Trails
A long exposure captures streaks from the turning stars and passing satellites.
This was a busy sky. The feature photo stacks a dozen images taken over 6 minutes.
During that time the northern stars around the Big Dipper turned about the celestial pole just off frame at upper right.
Meanwhile, two satellites passed through the field, both flaring in brightness briefly, tracing tapered streaks from left to right above the treetops. These may have been Iridium satellites, infamous for producing sunglint flares as they momentarily reflect the Sun from their mirror-like antenna panels.
A magenta aurora tints the northern sky as well.
This image is from the same sequence of 300 or so I took last night for a time-lapse movie, but this is a single 30-second exposure so the stars look more natural and pinpoint. Now you can make out the familiar pattern of the Big Dipper.
I shot several sequences last night, until the clouds rolled in and curtailed photography. However, skies are clearing again and the forecast is for several clear nights to come over the Cypress Hills. I've got a few locations picked out for time-lapse shooting if the skies cooperate.
All-Night Satellites
It was a marvellous night for Space Station watching.
Right now those of us at northern latitudes in North America are enjoying the opportunity to see the International Space Station come over not once but often 2 or 3 times a night, as it is now lit by the Sun all night long (on our nights down here on Earth, that is).
Here are two shots from the night of June 4-5, 2013 taken from my home in Alberta at a latitude of 51° North.
My featured image above is from the ISS pass that began at 1:55 am, and is a stack of 4 tracked 2.5-minute exposures, so the stars are not trailed, but the ground is! On this pass, the ISS came overhead. This view is looking north, toward the all-night perpetual twilight we see on the Canadian Prairies around summer solstice. There's also a low band of green aurora on the northern horizon.
I shot the image below on the ISS's pass one orbit earlier at 12:18 am. This image is looking south to the ISS's high pass across the south. It's a composite of 4 untracked 2-minute exposures – thus the stars are now trailing in circles around Polaris at the top of the frame.
Both shots are horizon-to-horizon all-sky views with an 8mm fish-eye lens.
The sky isn't dark, even in the shot taken at 2 am. At this time of year around summer solstice at northern latitudes, the sky never gets astronomically dark but is lit a deep blue by sunlight still streaming over the pole and bathing the night in a glow of perpetual twilight.

Commander Chris Flies Over My House
Commander Chris Hadfield and his crew fly over my house and below the Moon on a spring night in Canada.
It's been a couple of months since we in Canada have had a chance to sight the Space Station in our evening sky with our Canadian astronaut on board. When I last had a chance in February, Chris was a crew member. Now he's the commander of the Station, the first Canadian to hold the position.
My shot, taken tonight on the second of two passes this evening, has the Space Station coming up out of the west and rising to meet the Moon. It passed under the Moon and then faded out as it entered Earth's shadow and nighttime, one of 16 nights they experienced this and every day in orbit around the Earth.
Chris is in orbit with the Expedition 35 crew until mid-May. So this may be our best and last chance to see our astronaut flying through Canadian skies.
This was also the first decently clear night we've had in two weeks, since my last post from April 2. We all hope spring is finally arriving

Flying Through a Moonlit Winter Night
Tonight the Space Station flew out of the west and overhead as it faded into the shadow of the Earth.
Because tonight the ISS was coming up high into the north, almost directly overhead, I used a fish-eye lens to shoot the entire sky, and took three exposures, each 90 seconds with the camera tracking the stars.
The bright Moon is at right, but despite its light the Milky Way still shows up. The Space Station faded into sunset just as it crossed the Milky Way.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield is on board, about to take command at the next crew change. He's been tweeting lots of comments and photos from space. Check him out at @Cmdr_Hadfield.

Commander Hadfield Sailing Through the Stars
Here's looking back at you Commander Hadfield! Here is our Canadian astronaut sailing into the Milky Way.
Since he launched to the International Space Station in December Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield has been tweeting many photos of places in Canada that he sees passing by his window 400 kilometres below. With the Space Station now entering our evening sky in western Canada, I can return the favour and photograph his home in space traveling among the stars. This night he flew through Orion and into the winter Milky Way.
This was the scene Sunday night, February 10, in a pass of the Space Station low across the south starting at 7:14 p.m. MST. The exposure was four minutes, long enough to just capture the entire pass from west to east, right to left in this image. At left, the trail of the Space Station fades out as the ISS entered Earth's shadow and into night.
The image also captures the Milky Way at left and the Zodiacal Light rising from the last vestiges of blue twilight at right. Jupiter is the brightest object above centre. For the next two weeks we'll be enjoying nightly passes of the ISS with our Canadian astronaut on board.
Star Trail Reflections
The stars of the southern sky arc over the peaks of the Lake Louise Range in this half-hour's worth of exposures.
For this shot I took 35 frames from a 200-frame time-lapse movie and stacked them to create star trails moving over about 25 minutes time when the sky was dark and moonless. I also layered in the moonlit landscape from a frame taken at the very end of the time-lapse sequence when the Moon has risen and was lighting the mountains and trees. So this scene is a bit of a Photoshop fake, but only so far as to merge exposures taken a couple of hours apart from the same fixed camera to combine the sky and stars from when the Moon was not in the sky with the ground from when it was, so the ground isn't too dark and featureless.
What most people find surprising about star trail shots is the range of colours displayed. Some of the magenta trails come from a little chromatic aberration in the lens. But nevertheless, stars do exhibit lots of colours, but usually only in time exposures like this. As a bonus one frame captures either a meteor or an Iridium satellite flare at right above Mount Victoria.
I took the images for this scene on Friday, September 7, on a shoot at Herbert Lake in Banff.
Space Station Over the Rockies
This was the view Friday night, August 19, 2011, as the International Space Station flew over Banff, Alberta and the Canadian Rockies.
I took this shot (actually this is a composite of three successive exposures) from the viewpoint on Mt. Norquay overlooking the Banff townsite and the Trans-Canada Highway interchange, unfortunately all too well lit. This might well be a case study in light pollution as well.
But the lights in the valley don't diminish the Milky Way above, and the sky-wide streak created by the passage from west to east of the Space Station. What looks like a brilliant star to the eye turns into a streak here due to the three 45-second time exposures I used to capture this scene. The lens is the 8mm fish-eye, and these frames are from a 400-frame time-lapse movie for the planetarium dome.

Summer Solstice Space Station, Part 2
Here's a capture of the Space Station, coming over in a darker, clearer sky than last night's shot (in the previous blog). This was June 22, 2011, a fine solstice night on the Canadian Prairies.
The time was just before midnight, with no Moon. Yet the sky is blue and the northern horizon tinged with the orange glow of twilight. It never gets truly dark now, as summer begins. To the right, on the northeast horizon, a low green aurora kicks up.
The Space Station, the dashed arc at top, tonight passed from west to southeast, across the southern sky at the top of this fisheye 360° frame.
This is a stack of 28 18-second exposures at f/4 and ISO 1600 with the Canon 5D MkII and Sigma 8mm lens.

Summer Solstice Space Station
We're currently enjoying a series of nightly (and often twice or thrice nightly) passes of the International Space Station, coinciding with the bright nights of summer solstice.
I took this shot on the night of solstice, June 21, 2011, as the Space Station came directly overhead, flying out of the west then heading off into the east. So we're looking a little west of north here, toward the bright northern horizon. Pity some light cloud hazed up the sky. The pass began at 11:12 pm so the sky was still quite bright, though even an hour or two later at this time of year the northern horizon is tinged with perpetual twilight glow, at least at my latitude of 51° N.
To create the image I took a series of 100 3-second exposures (as long as the bright sky would allow) taken 1 second apart in rapid-fire fashion with the camera firing automatically with a remote timer. The 1 second gap between exposures creates the gaps in the Space Station trail.
I processed the images in Adobe Camera Raw, and exported them all as TIFFs to their own folder. I then used Chris Schur's excellent "Star Trails" Photoshop Action to stack all those images into one composite image showing the complete flight of the Space Station across the sky. A little application of Shadows and Highlights helped bring out the foreground and bright sky detail.
I used the Sigma 8mm fisheye lens and Canon 5D Mk II to capture the whole sky, for a still and time-lapse sequence suitable for projection in a full-dome video planetarium … because the neat thing about this method is that the same set of images can be strung together sequentially (using Photoshop Extended's Movie function) into a time-lapse movie of the pass, showing cloud and star motion as well as the ISS passage. The same techniques work for star trails, as indeed you can see here with the stars of the northern sky (Big Dipper at left and Cassiopeia at right) trailing around the North Star.
Easter Sunday Space Station
What a picture perfect pass this was, on Easter Sunday evening, April 24, 2011. The International Space Station (ISS) rose out of the west right on time, passed almost directly overhead, the flew off to the east, fading out just as it approached the horizon. The sky was a deep blue in the late twilight, with the spring stars beginning to appear. As it usually does, the Space Station outshone them all, including Arcturus, the brightest streak at right. The Station also passed just north of the handle of the Big Dipper at the top of the frame.
I took this with the 15mm lens that takes in a field of view from the horizon to almost straight up.
Because the sky was still bright, one long exposure wouldn't work with this shot. The Station took nearly 3 minutes to traverse the frame. The only way to avoid overexposing the sky would have been to stop the lens way down or use a very slow ISO speed, either of which would have meant the Station and stars might not have recorded very well, especially the fast-moving Station.
So instead, I used what turned out to be thirteen short 15-second exposures at f/4 and ISO 400, taken 1 second apart. Each one is exposed correctly, and the aperture and ISO speed are fast enough to pick up stars and the moving satellite. The trick is to then stack the images in Photoshop. To do this I import the images first from the memory card using Adobe Bridge, then process them in Adobe Camera Raw. ACR provides most of the processing necessary for shots like these – sharpening, noise reduction, some contrast boost, and the usual Vibrance and Clarity. Once processed, I use Bridge's "Import into Photoshop Layers" command to automatically create a single image with all the processed frames stacked on top of each other in layers. Then it's a matter of turning the Blend mode of each layer from Normal to Lighten, and voila! – the frames turn transparent and appear merged together, all properly exposed. The result is a single exposure effectively 3 minutes long, long enough that the stars also trail.
In this shot, the 1-second interval between exposures creates the gaps in the ISS trail. I could do a little Photoshop trickery to eliminate those but I think they give a sense of the speed of the ISS as it flies overhead quite quickly when it is closest, then slows down in apparent motion as it flies away into the distance.
A great help in planning a shot like this is Starry Night software – it loads in the latest satellite orbit data and shows the exact path of the satellite across your local sky. So I was ready and waiting with the camera all framed up, knowing just where it would appear, then started the camera firing as the ISS came overhead and into the field of the camera. It was a fine sight on an Easter Sunday.

Goodbye Discovery!
What an awesome spacecraft it has been — launching the Hubble Space Telescope, Ulysses and John Glenn! It returned NASA to manned spaceflight following both the Challenger and Columbia accidents. And now this week, we say goodbye to Space Shuttle Discovery. On Sunday night, Feb. 27, I took a look at it (perhaps my last), and the ISS, as they flew over together in an ideal pass across our sky. Even in binoculars you could see the shape of the ISS — or at least that it had a shape and was not just a star, as all other satellites appear. A great sight was watching the craft fly into Earth's shadow and go deep red then fade out. That's why the bright streak the ISS/Shuttle left on the frame during the time exposure fades out at left, as they fly to the east and experience sunset.
To the west (right) note the Zodiacal Light glow reaching up from the western horizon. Orion and Canis Major are at bottom in the south. To the northwest is my house. I purposely left the porch light on around the other side of the house to light up the yard and the photogenic old house on the property. It features in many of my backyard shots.
This shot is a two-image stack of 4-minute exposures, with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 tracking the sky on an equatorial mount. The lens is one of my favourites, the Sigma 8mm full-circle fish-eye lens. Some haze in the sky knocked back the contrast, so the Milky Way doesn't pop out as well as it should. Still, this was the first clear night in a while when it wasn't -25°C!

Humberto Ramos (* 27. November 1970) ist ein mexikanischer Comiczeichner.

Leben und Arbeit

Ramos erlernte das Zeichenhandwerk in den frühen 1990er Jahren als Schüler von Oscar González Guerrero und dessen Sohn Oscar González Loyo. In der Folge trat er verschiedentlich als Gast auf US-amerikanischen Comicmessen auf. Auf der San Diego Comic-Con von 1993 wurde er schließlich auf Vermittlung von Walt Simonson von dem Verlag Milestone Media angeheuert, für den er ab 1994 seine ersten Arbeiten für den US-amerikanischen Markt vorlegte.

1995 wurde Ramos von DC-Comics als Zeichner der vergnügten, von Star-Autor Mark Waid verfassten, Abenteuer-Serie Impulse (#1–25), einem Spin-off der langlebigen Superhelden-Serie Flash.

Gemeinsam mit Joe Madureira und J. Scott Campbell rief Ramos 1998 das Cliffhanger-Imprint des Image Verlages ins Leben, über das die drei und andere Künstler eigene Projekte veröffentlichten, die sie nicht im Programm der amerikanischen Großverlage laufen lassen wollten, um sich die Rechte an diesen selbst vorbehalten zu können. Ramos publizierte über das Cliffhanger-Imprint knapp zwei Jahre lang – von 1999 bis 2001 – die von ihm selbst erdachte und gestaltete Serie Crimson, die es auf 24 Ausgaben, zuzüglich zweier One Shots brachte.

Es folgten die Serie Out There, die achtzehn Ausgaben erreichte (2001–2003), sowie Arbeiten an verschiedenen Serien über den Superhelden Spider-Man: Mit der #30 übernahm er den Job des Coverzeichners für Peter Parker: Spider-Man und ab #44 (2002) auch den Job des für die Gestaltung des Heftinneren zuständigen Zeichners (#44–47). Hernach arbeitete er an der neugeschaffenen Serie The Spectacular Spider-Man (#1–10, 17–18), ein Engagement, für das er 2005 für den Harvey Award als bester Coverzeichner nominiert wurde. Bei Dark Horse erschien ebenfalls 2005 die von Ramos kreierte, sechsteilige Miniserie Revelations

2006 übernahm Ramos die Zeichnungen für Marvel Comics Superhelden-Klassiker Wolverine (#42–48) für den er von Marc Guggenheim verfasste Geschichten illustrierte. Für den französischen Verlag Solei Productions legte Ramos indessen Zeichnungen für eine Reihe von je 46-seitigen Comicalben unter dem Titel K hervor, die von dem französischen Autor Crisse verfasst wurden.

I found a few links on the benefits of recycling , what to recycle, and a bunch of other facts about the topic.
This first link is explaining to people how to recycle, and the three key factors that you must take in mind when recycling. (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Also it goes into detail about the different types of environments that someone may come across, the things that people should look for to recycle.
The third link i found is about why people recycle and all the beneficial reasons that are behind recycling.
I have found these two article that I believe will be helpful for our project.
These articles give us good evidence of why not only will our idea benefit the world, but also make money while doing it.

Tudor Doctors Illnesses and Medicines
Many of the illnesses and diseases that were rife in Tudor times were caused through a lack of understanding of the importance of hygiene, as well as the fifthly living conditions endured by the majority of the population. Tudor medicine was basic in the extreme and not equipped to deal with the diseases of the time, the simplest of which could result in the death of the patient.
Tudor Doctors
Tudor doctors were unaware of the dangers presented by the open sewers when ran through the streets of London, or the pollution and disease caused by the dumping of rubbish in the streets as well as in the rivers and waterways. As all of the houses in Tudor times were built very close together it was common for illnesses and diseases to spread quickly. Doctors failed to recognise that many Tudor diseases were spread by the lice, fleas and rats which infested the streets, houses and people.
The main treatment which was the resort of the Tudor doctor was 'bleeding'. Physicians at the time believed that illness and disease thrived in the fluids of the body. By removing some of these fluids through the bleeding process, it was thought that some of the symptoms of the disease could be alleviated.
Clothing of the Tudor Doctor
Part of the attire of the Tudor doctor included a face mask, which prevented him from inhaling the majority of germs from airborne diseases. He was also covered from head to foot in long clothing which was believed to keep him safe from infection. Many images of doctors of the time show them wearing a mask which has a beak like shape on the front of it.
This mask was especially worn during the break out of the bubonic plague (Black Death), the end of the beak held some sweet smelling oils or herbs such as bergamot, which would mask the smell of death and decay. Tudor doctors were somewhat superstitious,
and not understanding the nature or cause of the majority of Tudor diseases would wear an amulet of ground up toad and dried blood around their waists for protection. The boots, thick gloves and long clothes worn by the doctor would protect him from infection from flea bites, but it was still a dangerous job.
Tudor Medicine Facts
Doctors to the wealthy would have received their training at University as well as through attending the Royal College of Physicians. The charge for a visit from the physician would cost in the region of ten shillings, a gold coin, which placed their services well out of reach of the majority of the population. Tudor surgeons were not as well qualified, known as 'Barber Surgeons' they would pull rotten teeth and perform a bleeding for a patient.
The apothecary was where people could buy medicines which were mostly herbal in nature, though the church would also provide the poor with herbs for medicines from their own herb gardens. The first point of call for a great proportion of the population was the local 'wise woman', generally a woman with a good knowledge of herbal lore and healing methods.

EBONY In Partnership with OLAY Present the Return of its HBCU Queens Competition with A Focus on STEM
Posted By: Nina Flowers on September 29, 2021
EBONY in Partnership with OLAY
The Reimagining of its Popular Franchise
HBCU Queens with New Focus on STEM
Celebrating the Next Generation of Black Women Leaders
10 Winners From Historically Black Colleges and Universities
Across the Nation will be Announced in Mid-October
(Atlanta, GA- September 28, 2021) – EBONY presents, in partnership with OLAY, the reimagining of its popular franchise and one of its longest-running editorial features - HBCU Queens with a new focus on STEM. The initiative is dedicated to spotlighting and recognizing collegiate Black women who are poised to affect significant societal change, both locally and globally. The search for the 2021-2022 EBONY HBCU STEM Queens is starting with an online competition that allows users to vote for their favorite Queens from Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the nation, from which 10 winning Queens will be crowned.
Women in STEM have changed the world, influenced nations, and made groundbreaking discoveries throughout history. Yet, women make up a mere 27% of professionals in the STEM field and that number is even lower for Black women (U.S. Census). In response and for the first time ever, this year's HBCU Queens program in partnership with OLAY has a new theme—STEM. Created to showcase the next generation of Black women leaders and as a way to underscore the importance of HBCUs to the Black community, the program will celebrate young women (ages 18-24) who have demonstrated the ability to inspire, lead and give back to their communities through STEM.
Winners will be announced in mid-October and prizes will include an all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles to attend EBONY Power 100, a HBCU STEM Queen Photoshoot and an opportunity to be featured in EBONY.
"We are so thrilled to be able to bring back the EBONY HBCU Campus Queens initiative and to partner with OLAY - which has done incredible work to support women and women of color in STEM fields over the past few years. There are some definitive synergies with our Queens program and together we are creating a vital platform to empower our next generation of women leaders and innovators. Now more than ever, our young Black women need us to show up for them in a way that they feel seen and supported.
We want them to continue to thrive and to help them unlock their full potential as contributors and agents of change in their communities, across the country and around the world." — Michele Ghee, CEO of EBONY & JET
"OLAY remains committed to equality & inclusion—and we want to help create a world where girls and young women can achieve anything they set their minds to. OLAY is elated to work with EBONY to recognize women in STEM for the first time as part of this year's HBCU Queens initiative. STEM impacts so many industries and aspects of our lives and by diversifying STEM fields we can create a more diverse future. The OLAY and EBONY partnership will allow us to offer young women role models in STEM who look like them to provide that spark and encouragement to enter the fields of STEM. This is one step towards bringing greater equity and inclusion to our online spaces that will also get us closer to achieving OLAY's goal to triple the number of women of color in STEM fields by 2030." — Chris Heiert, Senior Vice President, Olay Skin Care, P&G

The Santa Clarita Historical Society welcomed Karina Dunbar, president of the Fort Tejon Historical Association, to discuss the history of Fort Tejon.
Fort Tejon is located in Grapevine Canyon, the main route between California's Central Valley and Los Angeles. The fort was established to control the Indians who were living on the Sebastian Indian Reservation, and to protect the Indians and white settlers from one another and from raids by Native American groups from the desert regions to the southeast.
Fort Tejon was first garrisoned by the United States Army on August 10, 1854 and was abandoned 10 years later on September 11, 1864.
