A Fomapan Action 400 black-and-white film to test the effect a the special Foca filter "Dyma" produced in France in the 50's.

 

The filter is called "Dyma" due to the presence of neodymium in the glass giving an unusual absorption by bands in the visible spectrum. In particulier blue and yellow color ans more absorbed than the rest of the spectrum. The filter existed in two different versions with the coefficient x2.5 or 3.5. Here the 42mm push-on Foca Dyma filter used is a x 3.5.

 

As a consequence, I exposed the Foma 400 for 80 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas. I used my FOCA camera PF2B year 1956 and its normal Oplar lens1:2.8 f=5cm equipped for all the views with the Dyma filter and a Genaco metal shade hood.

 

Typical settings during the session : 1/100s f/8 to f/11.

After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 6 min.

 

The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.

 

All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.

 

About the camera and the lens:

 

The Foca type PF2B (PF for "Petit Format") was constructed in France by the company "Optique & Precision de Levallois" (OPL) starting from 1947. It was manufactured in the Chateaudun OPL factory, route de Jallans, France, in 1956 among a late series of the PF2B. The factory, constructed in 1938, is still at the same place under the name of SAFRAN now producing precision devices for aerospace appliances.

 

The camera is equipped with the collapsible OPLAR lens (a Tessar formula) 1:2.8 f=5cm. The focal shutter of the PF2B has timing of 1/1000, 1/500, 1/200, 1/100, 1/50 and 1/25s plus the B pose. A slow exposure device below 1/25s could be installed by the aftermarket service and was installed basically for the FOCA PF3 and Foca Universel.

U.S. 95 along Walker Lake, Nevada

 

The lake is fed from the north by the Walker River and has no natural outlet except absorption and evaporation.

 

Walker Lake is approximately 12.7 miles long and 5 miles wide, with a maximum depth of about 83 feet (2011).

 

The lakebed is a remnant of prehistoric Lake Lahontan that covered much of northwestern Nevada during the ice age. Although the ancient history of Walker Lake has been extensively studied by researchers seeking to establish a climatic timeline for the region as part of the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository study, this research has raised many puzzling questions.

 

Unlike Pyramid Lake, the lake itself has dried up several times since the end of the Pleistocene, probably due to natural diversions of the Walker River into the Carson Sink approximately 2,100 years ago. Also, this research found no evidence that the Walker Lake basin contained water during the Lake Lahontan highstand, although based on the surface elevation of the highstand evidenced elsewhere in the region it must have.

 

Lahontan cutthroat trout no longer occur in the lake and recent work by researchers indicates that the lake's Tui chub have declined dramatically and may soon disappear as the salinity levels are lethal to Tui chub eggs and young chubs. The decline of the lake's fishery is having a dramatic impact on the species of birds using the lake.

 

By 2009, the town of Hawthorne canceled its Loon Festival because the lake, once a major stopover point for migratory loons, could no longer provide enough chub and other small fish to attract many loons.

Suspended time and absorption are central in our performative work. We perform „engrossed in an activity as if in denial of an audience“. We keep still. We move according to a choreographed path. We keep close to each other, we touch each other, we lie on the floor. From one tableau to the next. Holding the image for few minutes. One of us lies on a wooden plank. The whole leg, buttocks and lower back rest on the plank. Only shoulders and head touch the floor. The second figure is already doing a shoulderstand, bending the left knee and simultaneously stretching and leaning the right leg slightly over the head. The stretched leg remains leaning… The piece is inspired by the long scene in the sculpture garden at the Museum of Modern Art in New York from the film „Shadows“ by John Casavettes; Stills from Bob Fosse’s „All that Jazz“; photos of works by Yvonne Rainer and Rudolph von Laban and Kinesiology, physical therapy exercises.

How To Choose The Best Phone Case With Battery Built In

 

By Nita McKinney

 

To those who are choosing the best phone case with battery built in, it is only natural for them to be concerned about the shock absorption ability of this product. While it might be true that the said item is not a product that one will want to drop frequently, it is still a matter of preventive measure to choose a product with high shock absorption ability.

 

Another one is the scratching. It is really important to make sure that this is the kind of product which is fairly resistant against scratches that are caused by various elements, especially when one puts it inside the pocket. The elements that will cause scratching are usually the coins one has or small sands that accidentally come in contact with the phone.

 

The person will also have to consider whether this product can fight against water damage or not. Any electronic gadget is not really safe against water damage. It has no immunity to that. That is why it is necessary to find protective cases that can at least prevent the water from entering the gadget and ruining it.

 

Be sure to pick the carry method that will be preferred by the one who is using the said mobile. There are various carry methods that one can choose from when it comes to this product. There are those who will be satisfied with the belt clip while there are those who prefer the belt loop. At times, the flat back without the belt clips can be used too.

 

There is also a need to know about the form fit cases. This actually means that the said item is specifically made for the device. It is the kind of item that stays on the device, regardless of whether the mobile is currently in use or not.

 

The person will also have to consider whether it is fine to use a pouch or not. Truth be told, the level of protection provided by the pouch is far superior than that form fit cases. However, there is only one disadvantage to this kind of item. The person will have to remove this item from the mobile when one is about to use the latter.

 

Screen protections should be considered by the one who owns the mobile properly as well. The screen will have to be shown properly since this is the interface where people read things. Most of the times, the cases are made with screen protectors that are made of clear plastics. There are times when the space is just opened for better use, though.

 

There is also a need to consider the port opening. Remember that a mobile will have lots of ports. They are for the charger, USB, or headphone. There are many other types of ports too. The person should consider this well before deciding on what kind of product to use for the mobile.

 

The buyer will also need to consider the control openings of the best phone case with battery built in. There are certainly lots of controls in the said mobile. After considering the control openings, one can easily make a decision on which item to choose for the mobile that one owns.

How To Choose The Best Phone Case With Battery Built In

The black-crowned sparrow-lark (Eremopterix nigriceps) is well-suited to desert environments due to a variety of physiological, behavioral, and morphological adaptations. Here are some key reasons why this bird thrives in arid conditions:

 

1. Camouflage and Heat Reflection

 

Plumage Adaptation: The bird's light-colored underparts reflect sunlight, reducing heat absorption, while its darker upper parts help it blend into the desert terrain, providing camouflage from predators.

 

2. Water Conservation

 

Efficient Water Use: Black-crowned sparrow-larks can survive on minimal water, obtaining most of their hydration from the food they consume, such as seeds and insects.

Concentrated Waste: Their kidneys are adapted to excrete highly concentrated uric acid, minimizing water loss.

 

3. Diet

 

Flexible Feeding Habits: The diet consists of seeds and insects, which are abundant in deserts during certain seasons. Insects provide both energy and moisture.

 

4. Thermoregulatory Behavior

 

Activity Timing: These larks are most active during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning and late evening, to avoid the extreme heat of midday.

Shade Seeking: They rest in shaded areas during the hottest parts of the day to reduce heat stress.

 

5. Efficient Locomotion

 

Ground Adaptation: They are adept at walking and running, minimizing energy expenditure compared to flying long distances in the heat.

 

6. Breeding Adaptations

 

Nesting in Shade: Their nests are often placed in shaded spots or depressions in the ground, providing some protection from the sun.

Egg Adaptation: The eggs are resistant to dehydration and can withstand high temperatures.

 

7. Social and Communication Skills

 

Group Living: These birds often live in small flocks, which can help them locate resources more efficiently in the sparse desert environment.

Vocal Communication: They use calls to communicate over long distances, reducing the need to expend energy searching for others.

The absorption of Zinc, one of the most essential elements for the health of our skin, can get affected if one is taking hormonal therapy or oral contraceptive pills.

Wetlands are biodiversity rich sensitive ecosystems that harbor hundreds of plants, insects, birds and other animals uniquely adapted to their wetland mode of life.They are crucial to maintain the regional water balance through ground water recharge and absorption of flood waters and also serve as the rice bowl of developing countries. Nevertheless, wetlands play immense role in the socio-economic and livelihood aspects of local communities living around the wetland. In India, rural communities depend wetland for livelihood through farming, mat making etc; for food through fishing and hunting; for roof thatching by collection of reeds and palm leaf ; for firewood; for fodder etc. However, these wetlands are now under a threat of conversion for big industrial and real estate projects, change in lifestyle of local community, over extraction of resources by increased population, pollution,waste dumping, eutrophication and pesticide farming. There are three important wetlands in the Puducherry region namely Oussudu, Bahour and Kaliveli that provide important resources for local communities and also are a home to tens of thousands of migratory birds that visit the Puducherry region in winter. These wetlands have been acknowledged as Important Bird Areas(IBAs) by IBCN, since many of these birds are represented in more than 1% of their global population.

 

The recent threat on wetlands of Puducherry is more due to the change in life style of local community living around these wetlands. The younger generation is not much dependent on wetland resources, The younger and modern generation has lost the compassion and bonding to the wetland which their forefathers maintained through sustainable livelihood practices. This has resulted in a change in attitude and perception of the community towards unsustainable farming and resource extraction, game hunting, intensive fishing and reclamation, ultimately resulting in shrinking of wetland area and loss of biodiversity at an alarming pace. Local community is leaving the traditional farming practices for more fertilizer and pesticide based farming; fish stock is depleted using invasive Gill nets. Since Puducherry is fast developing region with rapidly growing commercial tourism and industrial establishments, these wetlands are under the threat of reclamation for resort construction and other commercial establishments. Poaching for a sport as well as open selling of birds including the threatened species is common. School drop-out are noticed to get attracted to such practices to make easy money as well as hunting for a sport with peers. With time, they may grow into expert hunters who will depend on poaching as the main source of income for the family. There are many wetland awareness programs organized by Forest Department as well as NGOs targeting school kids and educated community through workshops. School drop-outs are often not specially targeted by any of such programs and often not brought under the ambit of such programs. This gap needs to be addressed for local conservation efforts to be fully effective. We have chosen birds as the umbrella species whose conservation will in turn protect the lake and biodiversity as a whole. Birds are attractive and beautiful; ,which may easily get compassion from drop-out kids if guided appropriately. With proper efforts, the poachers can be turned to protectors and expert tour guides to facilitate ecotourism.

Where in the body do anti-obesity drugs act?

All current FDA-approved anti-obesity medications contribute to weight loss, although the results vary from one to another. Most of these compounds act at the brain level, to reduce appetite and increase satiety. Newer drugs, such as Orlistat, GLP-1 analogs (Ozempic and Wegovy) and GIP/GLP-1 dual analogs also act at the gastrointestinal level, to slow gastric emptying, promote insulin release or block fat absorption. This graphic shows the sites of action in the body.

Color of Life note

Biofluorescence results from the absorption of electromagnetic radiation at one wavelength by an organism, followed by its reemission at a longer and lower energy wavelength, visually resulting in green, orange, and red emission coloration. Many species of mantis shrimp, for example, make use of fluorescent body parts when in threat display in order to intimidate or confuse either a predator or a competing male.

TAXONOMY

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum:Arthropoda

Subphylum: Crustacea

Class: Malacostraca

Order: Stomatopoda

Family: Odontodactylidae

 

Genus/species: Odontodactylus scyllarus

 

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Beautifully colored in peacock colors of greens, blues, and reds. Has a green body, blue head, green antennal scales, red limbs. The body is elongated with a long, flattened , blue tail and ranges in size from 3–18 cm (1.2-7.0 in). Highly noticeable is the pair of clubbed-shaped, praying mantis-like claws.

 

DISTRIBUTION/HABITATS: Indo-Pacific Habitat: warm salt water and builds U-shaped burrows in gravel substrates. Depth ranges from 3-40 m (10-131 ft).

 

DIET IN THE WILD: Feeds on other shrimp, worms, snails, crabs, mollusks. Lies in wait for prey in front of burrow, then swims out and quickly crushes prey with a strong, powerful smash. The claw moves so quickly it generates cavitation bubbles, which explode with a second powerful burst. The speed with which the claw moves through the watergenerates a force 100 times the shrimp’s body weight.

 

REPRODUCTION: Monogamous. O. scyllarus mate, spawn, brood, and hatch their eggs in their burrows.

 

LONGEVITY: Often live in pairs for their entire lifetime (4-6 years).

 

PREDATORS: Yellow Fin tuna

 

CONSERVATION: IUCN Not Evaluated

 

REMARKS: Large peacock mantis shrimp generate forces powerful enough to crush the shell of a large conch, and have been known in captivity to break the glass of their tanks! Striking speed of 50+ mph.

 

The amazingly complex eyes of mantis shrimp detect 12 base colors (compared to our 3). They also can discern ultraviolet, infrared frequencies, and the polarization of light!
