Do you have any idea how stoked I am on how amazingly linear the color reproduction is here, and without herculean effort? I mean, it's a digital file created on an "uncalibrated" monitor, pushed through a ICC profile, printed on canvas, then lit by a light, photographed with a digital camera, pushed through more software in Lightroom, back out to a JPEG and then viewed on a different monitor. And the damn original file looks nearly the same as the photograph of the canvas print. By rights it should not work, something ought to get hosed along the way, right? But no, it totally works. Ain't computers grand?
But the thing is, to get from this level of git 'r done linearity to full bore Dead Nuts, it takes thousands of dollars and much frustration and hair pulling. I hate to sound like McDonalds makes the best hamburger in the world, but damn, it's hard to complain even with the 3/4 ass approach. And Dead Nuts is a moving target, you're always screwing yourself. You can't control the display environment. That's why public exhibition is the only way to ensure total control.
Frolic is exactly what the crowd of Drowned Hogs did in the slushy ocean water at the Nantasket Beach in Hull.
The Mary Jeanette Murray Bathhouse was filled Saturday morning and into the afternoon as the crowd of committed Drowned Hogs kept warm before taking a plunge into the frigid waters at Nantasket Beach.
A few hundred people took part in the annual plunge to benefit Wellspring, a multi-service community non-profit group that helps people with financial, physical or emotional problems achieve independence.
The swimmers usually take the plunge into the frigid waters at noon, but this year the high tide and a layer of slush and ice chunks delayed the plunge about an hour.
In years past, organizers say they have collected about $20-22,000 for Wellspring through pledges and donations from the more than 300 swimmers. And this year, they say they expect final turnout numbers and donations to be even higher.
Coast Guard crews stationed at Coast Guard Station Point Allerton in Hull were monitoring the beach from the water; they say the water temperatures were at about 39 degrees.
After the plunge, the Nantasket Clarion Hotel hosted the Nantasket Soup and Chowder Festival, the profits from the local restaurants' offerings went to the Wellspring food pantry.

Today, we come to our final component of a vibrant and safe classroom! Last but not least, we have: Students, of course! 👧👦 Students bring the classroom to life, as they fill the space with questions, discovery, and growth! When they are in class, they have a better chance of unlocking opportunity and releasing the potential within them, as they build both their knowledge and their character. And when students miss out on education to work in the fields or to take care of the home, their future is compromised. That’s why we fight against dropout and work to ensure that students are in the classroom—learning with their friends, diving into lessons, and being empowered by their teachers and parents. Students are an essential and integral component of a vibrant classroom. That’s why we invest in them day after day! #qualityeducation #rwanda #teachers #school #children #students #leaders #education #learning #community #communitydevelopment #ABCD #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #goal4

This week, we outlined the components of a vibrant and safe classroom, to learn what quality education looks like in practice! And to recap, our classroom consisted of: 👩🏫 An encouraging teacher ❤️ A safe classroom environment 👨👩 Excited and invested parents 📖 Engaging lessons 👧👦 Students, of course! 👧👦 We hope you were inspired and encouraged this week as we built a classroom made of all the essentials for the best learning experience! This is exactly what we want every Wellspring classroom to look like. When classes are safe and vibrant, students are able to access the #qualityeducation they deserve! They are given the space and opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive while being loved, cared for, and encouraged! That’s why we work to ensure that more students in Rwanda access education, and are in classrooms just like the one we built! And while dropout can keep children away from the classroom, we fight against what is stealing children from their right to education. Only with your support can we ensure that more children gain the education they deserve! Support education for every child at wellspring.ngo/give
