Professor Pema Dorje, PhD. and curator of the Yeti Museum, is convinced that the Yeti is a real creature. Norbu and Bob, the proprietors of Himalayan Escapes, assure you that he is crazy and they don't agree with his opinions. Why not take a train ride and see who's right?

Here's a little demo of what the LumiQuest 80-20 does. Its purpose is to direct 20% of the flash output on to the subject while bouncing the light off the ceiling. Viewing large on black would help see the differences more clearly.
The photo of Jinx on the left is taken with the 80-20. You can see the difference in Jinx's eyes, mouth and its name tag is readable.
The photo on the right is taken only using a ceiling bounce, with the exact same flash and camera settings. You can see that ceiling bounce causes shadows under the head and recesses like where the name tag is, because the light from the ceiling can't reach there.
Yowza!

Petites diferències que fan el nostre món únic. Recordant mentre cercava l'escalfor després de passar molt de fred.
In unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft und dennoch Welten voneinander entfernt, ist das Wohnhaus einer slowakischen Familie vorn im Bild und die Siedlung der so genannten Zigeuner im Hintergrund.
In the immediate neighborhood, yet worlds apart, the house of a Slovak family in front of the picture and in the background the settlement of the so-called gypsy`s.

Sinistra Novembre 2013 - Destra Luglio 2013
Difference in quality with different acceleration / jerk (Anet A8 3D printer). Jerk seems to be more important than acceleration, with the 400 / 5 option providing a significant quality improvement over the default 400 / 20. The print speed is 50 mm/s, ABS, 230C.
The plate on the bottom of a male takes up like the whole bottom, and the female's is much smaller. (Male on left, female on right.)

1. Are there any big differences between your culture and American culture?
Yes big time. My culture is very conservative. Gender equality is making some headway, but traditionally it is not something that is accepted. Religion is a big part of our culture too. Many of the social and political norms are strictly based off of Islam. To give an example of how conservative it is, or whatever, a guy can be sent to jail (and deported if hes not from the country) if he is even accused of talking to a girl improperly. One time, a distant relative was stuck in traffic and a random lady got into his car, demanded all his money or she would accuse him of harassment. Its such a big deal over there that he had no choice. (alot of random thoughts there, hope it helps)
2. What do parents in your culture expect of their children?
They expect the most. The way it works is that the oldest child is expected to take care of the parents once they grow old. They expect their kids to get an education, get married, have a family they can support, etc.
3. In your country do women have all the same opportunities as men?/ Are men and women treated the same?
In the new generations equality is occurring moreso than in the older ones. Girls in families are much more protected than guys. They are shielded from harm and danger, and the men in the family are expected to protect them. This is in contrast to here, where you'll see 8th graders going out to get drunk. That definitely doesn't happen over there.
4. How are gender roles different in your culture than in the US?
5. Do you feel like it was hard to adapt to American culture?
For my parents it was, and they are still trying to adapt. When they first moved here, they didn't really know what to expect and didn't really know what was going on. Their values and traditions were still based on their home country's, so there was a tough transition period. I think that the older the kids get, the better they get at adapting because there are so many different things that we do as teenagers and whatnot that they didn't do. It took me forever to convince them that 10pm was not an acceptable curfew, even though my dad insisted that he would always have to be home by 8. So it took them some getting used to.
6. Does your culture expect you to be like everyone else or act as an individual?
Good question

A newer section with closely packed headstones can be seen in the background as the older foreground is allowed to run wild. There are fewer people to care for individual headstones so thin paths are left for you to peer through the grasses towards them, otherwise they'd be completely lost.
What you're looking at is a good as new, properly isolated boot floor carpet!
The testride confirmed my wildest dreams... That is a hell of a lot quieter in the back! XD

In times of need, we set our differences aside, get together, and help one another.
While the wildfires are affecting the whole province, people here in BC are staying strong and working together.
Thank you to Cathy McLeod and to everyone from the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo area who donated last night to help those affected by the wildfires. Great to see donations of money and non-perishable food.
Seeing people rally around each other like this truly makes me proud to be Canadian.
En période de besoin, nous mettons nos différences de côté, nous nous rassemblons et nous aidons les uns les autres.
Alors que les feux de forêt touchent toute la province, les gens de la Colombie-Britannique restent forts et travaillent ensemble.
Merci Cathy McLeod MP Kamloops Thompson Cariboo et tout le monde de la région de Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo d’avoir fait un don hier soir pour aider les gens touchés par les feux de forêt. C'était super de voir des dons d’argent et d’aliments non périssables.
Voir les gens se rassembler comme ça me rend vraiment fier d’être Canadien.
What a difference a day makes!
Yesterday warm and sunny, today The Mini Beast From The East starts to show itself.
This same scene on the next morning:
Testing out the polarisers that arrived yesterday. This is the one fitted to my XT1.
The effect is most noticeable on the skin of the lemon but is still there on the surrounding leaves.
This is a test. It is meant to illustrate the differences between this really old Mamiya Macro 60mm with 42mm threads with Canon adapter lens built during the 1960's and a really new 17-55 EF-S f/2.8 IS USM.
Both images were shot wide open at f/2.8. The Canon image also had image stabilization enabled. The Mamiya image is clearly sharper. There's something either wrong with the Canon optic, or my expectations of it's performance are not aligned with the reality of new "high performance" zoom lenses... and after much deliberation and several more tests, I'm convinced the problem is in the lens.
On the 27th and 28th of April the green fence was removed and the connection to Network Rail's track was completed
Peace Corps Volunteers ready to make a difference
Thirteen new United States Peace Corps Volunteers were sworn in on Tuesday, December 18, as a final step before moving into villages for their two year assignments. The volunteers just completed an intensive 10-week Pre-Service Training Tuesday and have begun transferring to their individual villages scattered throughout Upolu and Savaii.
Their primary focus is to improve primary school students’ English literacy. In addition, several volunteers are going to villages that were severely affected by Cyclone Evan and will have the unique opportunity to help repair and rebuild the schools they will be working in, as well as help the affected communities in additional ways.
In light of recent events, the volunteers were sworn in by U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Chad Berbert in a private ceremony at the U.S. Embassy Office in Matafele. The following day the volunteers and staff from the U.S. Embassy joined hands with Samoa Victim Support Group to help clean out the SVSG office at the old police building.
“It was quite the task as mud had accumulated up to a foot high in some places due to Cyclone Evan,” Mr. Berbert said. “SVSG is doing great things for people in this country, including aiding people who are suffering because of Cyclone Evan. I’m very happy we could play a small part in helping to return the favor and assist them in recovering from the storm.”
The new Volunteers are eager to start their two year assignments, which will keep them in Samoa until December 2014.
What a difference a day makes. Today's temps will reach the 60's, and most of the snow has melted. The cold returns in a few days, though, so don't get too comfy.
