We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.

Despite well-intentioned efforts, tech policy often comes up short. The resulting uncertainties and missteps can leave individuals and society exposed to harm and technology developers without guidance or support. In the UW Tech Policy Lab, our current work involves surfacing specific cases of information tech policy failure in order to develop: (1) an in-depth understanding of what counts as evidence for tech policy failure, and (2) a typology of the ways in which tech policies have historically failed. From this work we will develop toolkits to help improve the tech policy development process including the discourse between technologists and policymakers.
The Winston-Salem State University Department of Athletics in conjunction with the WSSU Football Program will hold its 2nd Annual Women's Football Clinic, Saturday June 15, 2013.

Botox treatment has become a popular cosmetic procedure to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Despite its widespread use, there are still some misconceptions about Botox treatment in Glasgow. In this article, we will explore the science behind Botox and what to expect during the treatment process.
Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles. It works by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles, which prevents them from contracting. This temporary paralysis relaxes the muscles, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin’s surface.
Botox is most commonly used to treat wrinkles on the face, particularly around the eyes and forehead. It is also used to treat medical conditions, such as migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating.
Before the Procedure
Before receiving Botox treatment, it is essential to consult with a qualified medical professional. They will assess your medical history and determine if Botox is right for you. They will also evaluate the areas you wish to treat and discuss what results you can expect.
It is essential to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or medications you are taking, as this can affect your eligibility for treatment. Additionally, avoid alcohol, smoking, and certain medications and supplements that can increase your risk of bleeding before the procedure.
The Treatment Process
During the procedure, your doctor will use a small needle to inject Botox into the muscles you wish to treat. The number of injections you receive will depend on the size and location of the treatment area.
The procedure is usually quick and painless, although some patients may experience mild discomfort during the injection process. Your doctor may apply a numbing cream or ice pack to the treatment area to reduce discomfort.
After the Procedure
After receiving Botox treatment, you may experience some swelling, redness, and bruising in the treatment area. These side effects are usually mild and should subside within a few hours or days.
To ensure the best possible results, it is essential to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. You should also avoid strenuous exercise, hot tubs, saunas, and other activities that increase your body temperature for at least 24 hours.
Results
The results of Botox treatment are not immediate and may take several days or weeks to see the full effects. The duration of the results varies from person to person but typically lasts between three and six months.
It is common for patients to require additional Botox treatments to achieve the desired results. Your doctor will advise you on when to schedule follow-up appointments to maintain your results.
Botox treatment is used for cosmetic purposes and has medical applications. In addition to reducing wrinkles, Botox can also treat medical conditions such as migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating.
Botox treatment for migraines involves injecting small doses of Botox into specific muscles in the head and neck to prevent migraines. The treatment can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Botox can also treat muscle spasms, such as those caused by cervical dystonia, which is a condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions in the neck and shoulders. Botox injections can relax the muscles and reduce pain and discomfort.
Another medical application of Botox is in the treatment of hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Injecting Botox into the sweat glands can block the release of the chemical that stimulates sweating and reduce sweating in the treatment area.
Botox treatment is generally safe, but like any medical procedure, there are risks involved. Some people may experience side effects such as headaches, flu-like symptoms, and temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow. It is important to discuss any concerns or potential side effects with your doctor before undergoing the procedure.
It is also important to note that Botox treatment is not a permanent solution, and its effects will wear off over time. To maintain the results, patients need to schedule regular follow-up appointments and repeat the treatment as advised by their doctor.
In summary, Botox treatment is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and treat medical conditions such as migraines, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating. Understanding the science behind Botox and what to expect during the treatment process can help you make an informed decision about whether this procedure is right for you. With the right care and maintenance, Botox treatment can help you look and feel your best for years. Visit the website of Angelina’s Aesthetics and Beauty to explore more services!

medievalpoc: Book of Hours, Dutch (Utrecht or Delft, Add MS 50005) f. 117v: The Crucifixion: ‘Hier stect centurio Ihesus in sijn syde ende men slaet den mordenaers haer been ontwee’; Netherlands (c. 1410-1420) Illuminated Manuscript (parchment codex), 125 x 90 mm. [x] [x] It’s my understanding that the Black man being crucified here along with Christ is The Good Thief, sometimes called Saint Dismas, who was converted to Christianity on the cross. You can read more about Saint Dismas’s connection to the Moor’s Head device oft used in European Heraldry, connections to Saint Maurice and the Holy Roman Empire, and other sources on the topic here. That being said, if anyone happens to be able to read Middle Dutch (which this Netherlandish Book of Hours is entirely written in, as opposed to ones from England which are almost always in Latin), and can translate what’s written here more precisely, let me know! One of my medievalist Patrons happens to have some insight on the text here, although they prefer it to be called an “Educated guess”: Book of Hours, Dutch (Utrecht or Delft), f. 117v: The Crucifixion: ‘Hier stect centurio Ihesus in sijn syde ende men slaet den mordenaers haer been ontwee’ I can only partly be of help here: “Hier stect centurio Ihesus in sijn syde” translates to “Here (the) centurion pierces Jesus in his side”. Centurion is used like a name, without article (I think I’ve seen the same in MHG). The second part I can’t fully understand, especially the “haer been”. It seems that “ende men slaet [….] ontwee” means “and […] is struck to pieces” (sorry for my English, this sounds very stilted to me. A cognate translation would be “slain in two”). “mordenere” apparently isn’t restricted to murderers, but can refer to criminals, so I believe this is about the impenitent thief, perhaps both thiefs, and their legs (“been”) being broken/ cut. Since I’m not familiar with Middle Dutch, I also have difficulty reading the banner (apart from the fact that parts of the image seem to be cut off?). The banner around the center cross starts: “H(i)er wort centurio…” (Here was the centurion…) Of the rest, I can only make out a few letters. […] Okay, some further educated guesses. :) “haer been” should be “their legs”, so the legs of the criminals are broken in two. This seems to have been a historical practice called crurifragium. With the help of my colleague and, not least, a larger rendering of the scan on the BL pages, the lower banner reads “Hier wort centurio siende van dem bloede”, translating to “Here the centurio became seeing (able to see) because of the blood.” P.S. If it isn’t clear, you can read/zoom in on scans of the entire 370-page manuscript at the British Library’s Digitized Manuscripts Collection here. It’s fairly easy to navigate, but I have no way to link to individual folios.
Our Otters are found throughout Alaska, Canada and the northern United States, and are hence named the North American River Otter. They are slightly larger than our native European otter and are probably the most numerous Otter species in the wild.
They live in a variety of habitats, but spend most of their time in or near streams, rivers, lakes and coastal marshes. Their diet is similar to European Otters, eating mainly fish, amphibians and crustaceans.
North American River Otters can be found alone or in pairs, but often socialise in larger groups. Litters of up to 5 cubs can be born each spring and are reared by the mother. The young Otters will stay with their mother for at least a year before they are finally ready to look for their own territory.
Lewis and Isla, our Otters, are excellent ambassadors to help us promote Otter conservation as they are more active during the day than our native European Otter.
Hopefully, with a better understanding of Otters and the dangers facing them, we can all do our bit to help the plight of our own native Otters and their relatives
around the world.
OTTERS - THE FACTS
The purpose of this fact sheet
The recovery of otters in the UK is impacting inland fisheries through predation. The situation is complex, and it is not clear why some waters have not been affected, even though otters are present.
The Angling Trust, Environment Agency, Natural England and others are working together to improve understanding about the interactions between otters and fish. This document summarises our current knowledge and is intended as a starting point for further work. It does not present solutions; these can only be found by working together and will be explored in further publications.
Introduction
The only otter species in the UK is the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra), one of a number of species found worldwide.
Otters re-colonised the British Isles after the last Ice Age, and they were widespread across the whole landmass during much of the intervening 10,000 years. More recently, otters were present throughout Great Britain in the early 1950s, but from the mid-1950s to late 1970s there was a dramatic decline. This mirrored what was happening across much of Europe. The decline occurred across Scotland, England and Wales, but it was most dramatic in England. By the late 1970s the only healthy populations were in parts of Scotland, although small populations remained in Wales and northern and south-western England.
Reason for Decline
The decline of otters was closely linked to the introduction of certain organochlorine pesticides – such as dieldrin – that were used in agricultural seed dressings, and sheep dips. When first used these chemicals were applied in very high doses and caused large-scale mortalities among many animals. Their impacts were greatest among top predators, notably birds of prey and mammals, because of the way these chemicals build up in the food chain.
After dieldrin and related chemicals were withdrawn from use, bird populations recovered relatively quickly. Otters that had survived in areas with low-intensity agriculture also responded, though more slowly because of their relatively low breeding rate and, unlike birds, their inability to cover large distances.
Recovery
Natural Recovery
At the lowest point of the decline, in the late 1970s, otters were absent from parts of Scotland, much of Wales and most of England. In England, the first national otter survey in 1977-79 found evidence of otters at only 6% of sites examined. Since then, the surviving otter population has expanded eastward and southward from Wales, south-west and northern England; Wales and Scotland are now extensively occupied and England’s population, though still expanding, has few large gaps outside the south-east corner of the country (see the Fifth Otter Survey of England report 2009-2010, available from the publications calalogue on the Environment Agency website www.environment-agency.gov.uk).
Direct counting of otters is impossible due to their mobility, often secretive behaviour and largely nocturnal habit. Otter surveys are therefore based simply on presence and absence of otters as shown by field signs such as spraints (faeces) and footprints. It is not possible to use these data to estimate numbers, given the flexibility in the size of otter territories and the inability to distinguish between individuals using field signs. While the distribution and frequency of field signs is used as an indicator of the health of the population locally, any estimate of numbers would be highly speculative. Nevertheless, it is likely that there are several thousand otters present in England today.
Role of Reintroductions
In the early 1980s, when it looked as though otters might be lost completely from England, the Nature Conservancy Council (now Natural England) worked with the Otter Trust to develop a reintroduction programme to repopulate parts of Eastern England with captive-bred otters. The intention was to try and ensure some continuation of occupancy and allow any surviving otters to interbreed with released ones and perhaps keep any locally adapted genes in the population. At that time there was no evidence of a natural recovery, but as this situation changed and there were signs of a slow natural recovery, most organisations involved in otter conservation preferred to rely on this rather than on re-introductions to restore otter populations in the UK.
The Otter Trust released 117 captive-bred otters between 1983 and 1999, mostly on East Anglian rivers, but with some elsewhere. Their last release was of 17 otters on the upper Thames catchment over a six-month period in 1999.
The Vincent Wildlife Trust released a further 49 rehabilitated animals (i.e. orphaned and injured wild otters kept in captivity until fit for release) between 1990 and 1996, many of these as part of a release programme in Yorkshire.
By the early 1990s it was clear that a strong natural recovery of otters from their strongholds in Wales and south-west England meant that reintroductions were no longer necessary, and by the end of the decade the Otter Trust’s programme was wound up. Now descendants of the released otters form only a tiny proportion of the otter population of England, and most wild otters are the result of the natural recovery of the species after the banning of toxic pesticides.
The Environment Agency, Natural England and the Wildlife Trusts concentrated on encouraging natural recovery through improving river habitat, and they continue to do so.
Release of Rehabilitated Otters
A few orphaned and injured otters are taken into care by the RSPCA and other wildlife rehabilitation centres each year. The RSPCA has developed a protocol for the care and release of these animals which has been agreed with the Otter Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) Steering Group (see below). Other rehabilitation centres are encouraged to follow these guidelines.
There is a legal requirement to return these animals to the wild once they are fit for release. Cubs may be kept for over 12 months as they need to be mature enough to fend for themselves before release. The numbers involved are very small compared to the numbers of wild otters now present – on average less than ten otters a year. Releases should be as near as possible to where they were found, but pairs of cubs found in different locations that are later reared together may go back to the point of origin of one of them. There is no programme of using rehabilitated otters to colonise currently vacant catchments.
Institutional Roles
Natural England is the statutory body that advises government on the natural environment. Among other duties, it administers a system of wildlife management licences in accordance with national and international law (see ‘Legal status’ below).
The Environment Agency is the government’s leading environmental regulator and has statutory duties which include:-
•
to further the conservation of species associated with the aquatic environment.
•
to maintain, improve and develop fisheries.
Along with the Wildlife Trusts, the Agency is the lead partner for the otter under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP).
The Otter BAP Steering Group is a national steering group that co-ordinates and advises on actions for the recovery and conservation of otter populations in line with the UK BAP. The members are:-
•
Countryside Council for Wales
•
Environment Agency
•
A representative from the Otter Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

Otter Biology
Diet
Most of the otter’s diet is fish (usually 75-95%) but amphibians, crayfish, waterfowl and small mammals are also taken. Otters are opportunistic feeders and show no strong preference for one fish species over another. They will take them in proportion to their local and seasonal availability. Eels are often cited as a ‘favourite’ food source, and where present and abundant they are frequent prey. However, studies across the range of the Eurasian otter show that there is no general dependence on any particular prey species – they will exploit those species available locally. Where eels have declined, otters will take a higher proportion of other species, some of which may be more abundant as a result of the lower number of eels.
Otters catch and eat predominantly live animals; there is limited evidence of dead fish being eaten, although this does occur occasionally. Their average daily consumption of food in captivity is about 1.5kg/day.
Habitat
Otters have been recorded on virtually every type of water body. Otters in England and Wales are mainly found on freshwater systems but they can also exploit coastal habitats, and there is growing evidence that they are doing so more often as populations recover. In Scotland they are familiar animals of rocky coasts, where they are sometimes referred to as ‘sea otters’, but they are in fact the same species.
An otter will occupy a ‘home range’, which on fresh waters usually includes a stretch of river as well as associated tributary streams, ditches, ponds, lakes and woodland. The size of a home range depends largely on the availability of food and shelter, and the presence of neighbouring otters. On rivers, a male’s home range may be up to 40km or more of watercourse and associated areas; females have smaller ranges (roughly half the size) and favour quieter locations for breeding, such as tributary streams. Although their social behaviour has some flexibility, on river systems otters are strongly territorial, with both sexes defending occupied territory from others of the same sex. Fighting is common, particularly in populations which are nearing carrying capacity, and this may result in death.
Otters without an established home range are known as ‘transients’. They are mostly juveniles looking for a territory of their own, or adults that have been pushed out of their territories. Transient otters may use an area for a short while, but they will move on if conditions are not suitable or if they are driven away by resident otters. Transients will have been important in extending the range of otters during the recovery process, but they are very difficult to identify from field signs.
Within a home range an otter may use many resting sites. These include above-ground shelters, such as stands of scrub or areas of rank grass, and underground ‘holts’ – for example, cavities under tree roots and dry drainage pipes.
Breeding
Otters breed at any time of year. Females normally breed in their second or third year and select an undisturbed holt close to an abundant food source, giving birth to two to three cubs. The cubs remain in the holt for about three months and stay with the mother for up to a year. Male otters occupy separate holts and play little or no part in the rearing of the young.
Lifespan
Most otters live for three to four years in the wild, although they can live longer. Mortality is high among young animals looking to establish their own territories, particularly in areas with well established populations. The most common natural causes of death are likely to be starvation for young otters unable to fend for themselves or establish a territory. For adult otters, injuries sustained from territorial fighting are common causes of death. The most frequent reasons for non-natural mortalities are road kills and drowning in fish and crustacean traps.
Otter Activity and People
In fresh waters, otters are mainly active from dusk to dawn, when most people are unlikely to see them. Activity of coastal otters is linked to the state of the tide, and they can often be seen during the day. Even on rivers activity in daylight is becoming more common. This reflects not only their increasing distribution but may also show that, with the lack of persecution, otters are becoming less wary of people. Habituation to people may result in some individuals being more approachable, but these are not tame animals.
Impacts on Fish Stocks
Eurasian otters eat a range of fish species, but generally they take whatever is most abundant. Studies reveal that on average the fish they take are less than 300mm length; although very large fish can be taken, their choice of fish prey generally reflects what is available in the environment around them.
For a variety of reasons fish populations in some river and still water fisheries have come to be dominated by large individuals. Large fish may be more vulnerable to predation, and their loss will be more noticeable

Hereof it is easy to understand why smart consumers would make the unintentional error of employing a carpet cleaner to get rid of the water as neither the consumer neither the laborious carpet cleaners wash are aware of the refined complexities and onerous information a professional water damages renovation project demands. Let’s face it. Anyone could take out water. All you need is a wet/dry company vacuum, on the high end, or a straw, on the reduced end, and viola … the water is eliminated! Although, undoubtedly, many carpeting cleaning experts would have equipment that is better suited for water extraction compared to a domestic wet/dry vacuum. A higher degree carpet cleaning DC may additionally have dehumidifiers and fans yet simply having such devices does not imply that the well intentioned carpet cleaner DC is proficient in the use of such equipment or understands exactly how to enhance implementation. As an example, anybody can set up a pc system and press the power switch. Such an implementation might be useful but such set up is prone to a gaggle of infotech related threats ranging from malware via information integrity. An additional prudent installment would be finished by somebody with specialized infotech training who is seasoned and knows ways to protect against challenges that a less informed and enlightened expert would certainly not understand or know how you can fight upon indication. Also, a carpet cleaner does NOT have the specialized education or ability to stabilize the ambience, calculate the dampness bunch, style and deploy a negative air drying chamber, or manipulate vapor tension – processes and procedures that are common, daily steps employed by expert water damage restoration business. Water damage reconstruction specialists use such exotic methods in the most effective interest rate of the client to make certain the center of the structure is completely dry, protect against or lessen mold from establishing itself or spreading throughout your framework, and produce superior drying out disorders.

Some such water damage specialists also charge your insurance firm directly so there might be little, or no, out of pockets expenses. In that light, it is noticeable that the optimum choice is to make use of an independent, expert water damage renovation business for your water damage as the choice can set you back even more and subject you to long term heath and financial difficulties.

YAD: Youths take centre stage in reproductive health education.
.
The youths always include a skit about domestic violence in their performances because they say they see so much of it in their communities. Other topics include protection from HIV/AIDS and STDs and contraception. Girls like Hap, 18, (facing Sokleng, 23) are becoming more confident to discuss reproductive-health issues that adults in her community tend to shy away from. She says the education she received on menstruation and hygiene is helpful for understanding the changes girls experience during puberty.

The Punishment of Korah and the Stoning of Moses and Aaron
1481-82
Fresco, 348,5 x 570 cm
Cappella Sistina, Vatican
The fresco is from the cycle of the life of Moses in the Sistine Chapel. It is located in the fifth compartment on the south wall.
The message of this painting provides the key to an understanding of the Sistine Chapel as a whole before Michelangelo's work. The fresco, located in the fifth compartment on the south wall, reproduces three episodes, each of which depicts a rebellion by the Hebrews against God's appointed leaders, Moses and Aaron, along with the ensuing divine punishment of the agitators. On the right-hand side, the revolt of the Jews against Moses is related, the latter portrayed as an old man with a long white beard, clothed in a yellow robe and an olive-green cloak. Irritated by the various trials through which their emigration from Egypt was putting them, the Jews demanded that Moses be dismissed. They wanted a new leader, one who would take them back to Egypt, and they threatened to stone Moses; however, Joshua placed himself protectively between them and their would-be victim, as depicted in Botticelli's painting.
The centre of the fresco shows the rebellion, under the leadership of Korah, of the sons of Aaron and some Levites, who, setting themselves up in defiance of Aaron's authority as high priest, also offered up incense. In the background we see Aaron in a blue robe, swinging his incense censer with an upright posture and filled with solemn dignity, while his rivals stagger and fall to the ground with their censers at God's behest. Their punishment ensues on the left-hand side of the picture, as the rebels are swallowed up by the earth, which is breaking open under them. The two innocent sons of Korah, the ringleader of the rebels, appear floating on a cloud, exempted from the divine punishment.
The principal message of these scenes is made manifest by the inscription in the central field of the triumphal arch: "Let no man take the honour to himself except he that is called by God, as Aaron was." The fresco thus holds a warning that God's punishment will fall upon those who oppose God's appointed leaders. This warning also contained a contemporary political reference through the portrayal of Aaron in the fresco, depicted wearing the triple-ringed tiara of the Pope and thus characterized as the papal predecessor. It was a warning to those questioning the ultimate authority of the Pope over the Church. The papal claims to leadership were God-given, their origin lay in Christ giving Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven and thereby granting him privacy over the young Church. Perugino painted this crucial element of the doctrine of papal supremacy immediately opposite Botticelli's fresco.

Dogs are wonderful pets and play a significant role in our households. In order to maintain the happiness and health of our four-legged friends, we as dog owners wish to take every precaution. Sadly, rat poison poses a particular risk of accidentally poisoning our four-legged friends. Vitamin K supplementation is one of the possible treatments for canine rat poisoning. We will examine Vitamin K for Dogs' involvement in treating canine rat poisoning in this blog post and offer dose recommendations. It's critical to comprehend how vitamin K is used in dogs so that we can provide for them in an emergency. So let's explore vitamin K for dogs today!
How does Rat poison affect dogs?
Rat poison contains an anticoagulant called warfarin, which obstructs the blood-coagulating process. This can lead to a great deal of draining and death if left untreated. Ingestion of rat poison can cause side effects like nosebleeds, blood in the pee or stool, dormancy, and frailty.
How Much Vitamin K Should I Give My Dog for Rat Poisoning?
The suggested dosage of Vitamin K for Dogs with rat poisoning fluctuates according to the severity of the case and the size of the dog. In general, it is between 2-5 mg/kg of body weight per day.
It is essential to talk with a veterinarian before giving your dog any enhancements, as an excess of vitamin K can be destructive. A veterinarian will decide the right portion for your dog based on their particular circumstance.

-I have a different understanding on this particular image.
On my first day, I saw this cloud of smoke coming from the distant island. I asked the locals where it was coming from and they answered that it was a ply wood company. The smoke belching out was almost solid black. Yes, I know it was ruining my shot but that wasnt it. It was actually polluting our natural environment. I cant imagine 2 more factories beside it. That would be devastating!

USIP held a discussion on the underlying political dynamics that are driving the Thai protest movement—as well as a look at the tactics the protestors have deployed to mobilize in Thailand’s restrictive environment, where the protest movement may go from here, and how the U.S. government might constructively respond.

I'm reading the much talked about "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. "Everybody" recommends this book and I can see why. Peterson explains the concepts of exposure in an easy to understand way, and his examples are beautiful. Highly recommended.
