The first group of Portuguese immigrants to Hawaii invented the ukulele after they arrived in August 1879 via the SS Ravenscrag. That ship included cabinet makers from Madeira Island, who brought the Medeiran machete. In their new country, ukulele inventors Manuel Nunes, José do Espírito Santo, and Augusto Dias developed the ukulele, and the Hawaiians adopted it (ukulele means "jumping flea" in Hawaiian).
George E. K. Awai and his Royal Hawaiian Quartet popularized the small, guitar-like instrument when they performed at the Panama Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. From then on to the early 1920s, the ukulele became popular on the mainland United States.

There are two important lessons to be learned from this photo taken during the 2017 Epcot Festival of the Arts:
1. Always carry a pocket watch so you'll know if you are late for a very important date. (Especially of you are a forgetful white rabbit.)
2. Always pay attention to the background when taking a photo. It's easy to get lost in the subject matter and forget about distracting elements other places in the scene.
The painting was on display next to Alice's meeting location in the UK pavilion.

Once again I have fallen behind on my Photos so I end up doing a Sunday morning Photo dump. In my defense a lot has been going on and this is but a small Sample of the photos I have taken.
The girls have continued taking swim lessons at Swim West. Things are going well and they both have progressed to the next level. Amy and I really like the teachers there and the class size. If you are looking for a place to go for swim lessons check them out.

I went back to school today! I ended up helping my old photography teacher run a session today & the next two days teaching the basics of photography to younger students still at the school. During today's first session we wandered down to the very local "Hall Place Gardens" where there is a plethora of wildlife & nature scenes available. I was able to snap a few decent shots myself, and I also got the chance to test out a new piece of shade 8 welding glass as an ND filter. The sky wasn't particularly interesting today so I focussed mainly on the water and plant-life. I am secretly hoping that the weather tomorrow will either improve, or be too wet to go out, meaning the next lesson will be in a studio setup. But I'm not fussed as to which ends up happening.
Overall though, a good effort today, lets hope I can get some more interesting pictures in the days ahead! :)

All shots edited with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 & collage created with Photoshop CS5.
After making a couple of rough thumbnails, I attempted this sketch, which I would further refine were I to do this over.
I wanted the soccer net in this park to be the central feature, so it (and the red house behind it) are framed by the tree trunks and the foliage off in the distance.
While I tried to render the various landscape planes according to the brush markers that I had on me, I found the three tree trunks to be most interesting when I looked this over at the end.
The one toward the right was the most "blown out" because of the direct sun. For the most part, all the detail of the bark was obscured. Similarly the tree behind it was in uniform shade. Also, only bulk shadow shapes were visible, with very little bark detail.
The leftmost tree was in dappled sunlight, and while I could see some detail in the light parts, the shadow sections were pretty uniform.
Thus the level of detail that can be rendered in a drawing depends not only on how close/far away the object is, but also on the lighting conditions. The harshly lit tree (right) had the strongest and hardest edges, while the dappled tree to the left had an outline that had both weak and strong edge definitions, depending on how the dapples were falling.

Easiness and willingness to believe in the word of God comes from a softness of heart. - Michael T. Ringwood
Conference Talk:
For more information on this topic read "An Easiness and Willingness to Believe," by Michael T. Ringwood, Ensign, Nov 2009, 100-102.
Thought:
Easiness and willingness to believe in the word of God comes from a softness of heart.
Song:

Scripture:
And thus we see that the Lord began to pour out his Spirit upon the Lamanites, because of their easiness and willingness to believe in his words. (Helaman 6:36)
Lesson:
Fold a large piece of paper into two columns. Invite one family member to act as scribe. Ask your family to list reasons why they love little children and have the scribe write their responses in the left-hand column. Then display the picture Christ and the Children (Gospel Art Kit, no. 608) as a family member reads aloud Luke 18:15-17. Have the scribe add the Savior's teachings about little children in the right-hand column. Ask:
Why do you think the disciples tried to keep little children away from Jesus?
What can we learn about little children from Jesus' response to them?
Invite your family to write in their journals a childlike quality that is missing from their lives and how they will better develop that quality.
Story:
Elder Adam S. Bennion
The two following incidents, related by the principal of one of Utah's high schools, illustrate clearly the difference between a repentant and a self-justifying attitude. Two boys had been caught stealing - one had taken some money from another student's locker, and the other had stolen some tools from the manual training department. It is a regrettable fact that stealing should be found in American schools where every possible advantage is given to boys and girls, practically free of charge. But there are students who seem to have little self-respect and little respect for the rights of others.
The boys were called into the office and each one was interviewed separately. The boy who had taken the money was resentful. He said that he was not the only boy in the school who was stealing. Why did not the principal find the others and punish them too? Anyway, he felt that he had a right to take money if a fellow didn't know better than to leave it in a locker that wasn't locked.
The boy who had taken the tools felt altogether different. He was ashamed to think that he would lower himself to the level of a thief. He explained that he knew better than to steal but he had seen the tools lying around, they were just what he needed in doing some work at home, he couldn't afford to buy them, and thinking that perhaps they would never be missed, he took them. When he reached home, he could not make proper explanation to his parents and he was sent back to the school to be disciplined.
The principal was anxious to help both boys - he not only wanted them to finish their schooling - he wanted them to learn one of life's greatest lessons - that honesty is one of the grandest principles in the world. He explained to them that they would have to appear before the teachers of the school, make a statement of the whole affair, and give assurances that such actions would never be repeated.
The boy who had stolen the money flatly refused. He would rather quit school than, as he called it, "be disgraced." The law of the school was enforced and he was asked to withdraw. He left the school with defiance in his soul and with a sort of determination that he would get even with somebody - though he didn't seem to know just who it should be.
Out of the school he found that he had lost the respect of his old comrades, and the new ones who took their places were of a far inferior sort. He soon went from bad to worse until when last heard of he had been sent to the State Industrial School where he might be prevented from committing further crime.
The boy, on the other hand, who had taken the tools agreed to do as the principal required. It was a hard thing to do, of course. In fact, it was the hardest he had ever encountered. He not only was ashamed for what he had done, but how could he ever look those teachers in the face again? But feeling really sorry for the offense, he found courage to take the penalty. He was so manly and frank about it that every one of the teachers, who heard his confession, came to admire him more than ever before. They became his friends and took particular pains to help him find and develop his better self. When he was graduated from the school two years later he was an honor student - respected by every student who knew him. The humility of repentance had led him into a new life. Let us remind ourselves of that beautiful passage in the Doctrine and Covenants, Sec. 112, the tenth verse: "Be thou humble, and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers.
Activity:
Play "Spoon and Beans."
Each player is given a small cup full of beans and a small spoon. Emptying the cup on a table, each tries to fill it again with the beans by using only the spoon. If a person uses his other hand he must start over. The first to replace all the beans in his cup is the winner.

I did some publicity photos for our business today. This one was too dark to be useful, but a little bit of post-processing made for an interesting shot.
Just started shooting photos friday after work up in the foothills about an hour from sacramento. I get a call from my ex saying she ran over my 13 yr olds leg in her suv. Of course my phone is barely coming in and this is coming in with lots of static. When she was about to pull in the garage he decided to jump out thinking she had stopped ... slips gets leg run over. SO I rush to the hospital he has two broken bones or smashed as the doctor said he will be in a cast for at least 6 weeks. He was really bummed when he found out his competitive soccer team is going to Orlando next month for a big tourny. We see a specialist this week hopefully they can get him up and playing again.

An important lesson of the Gemini IV and Gemini V long-duration missions was that the standard Gemini G3C space suit was just too uncomfortable to wear for more than a few days. After that, the astronaut preferred risking death in his space underwear to wearing the suit a minute longer. For the Gemini VII mission, engineers faced a tough challenge: design a suit that would protect the astronaut if the spacecraft cabin lost air pressure but a suit comfortable enough to wear for 14 days.
Displayed here is Gemini VII commander Frank Borman's G5C training suit. A soft hood with built-in visor replaces the G3C's hard helmet and metal neck ring. During launch and reentry, Borman wore an airplane crash helmet within the hood for head protection. The G5C included two layers, not the four found in the G3C, and weighed just 16 pounds (G3C weighed 23.5 pounds)
