I got a new iPhone 4S yesterday, and unluckily I seem to have got one with a camera fault. I cleaned the outside of the lens several times, but there's still a dark smudge or shadow at a certain point in its field of view. Rebooting doesn't change it either; it's clearly an optical problem within the lens assembly. No-one else I know with an iPhone 4S has this issue, so it seems like it's just my own phone. I took these shots against a blank magnolia-coloured wall, in a dimly-lit room. The shadow shows best in murky lighting.
I called Apple and their customer service was wonderful, as always. They're express-shipping me a replacement phone that should arrive within 3 days. I just give my current phone to the delivery driver. That's how you do it.

Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior
year of production: 1971
first registration in Germany: 1975
cylinder: 4
cubic capacity: 1290 cc
power: 88 PS
The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were a range of cars manufactured from 1963 until 1977.
They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint coupé and used a shortened floorpan from the Giulia Berlina car.
These appealing cars were made in a wide variety of models over a period of 13 years, so they provide a lot of material for study by Alfa Romeo enthusiasts.
The basic body shape shared by all models was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone, and borrowed heavily from his earlier design for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint/2600 Sprint. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were groundbreaking styling features for the era.
All models feature the four cylinder, all-light-alloy Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine in various cubic capacities from 1290 cc to 1962 cc. All versions of this engine fitted to the 105 series coupes featured twin carburettors. Competition models featured cylinder heads with twin spark plugs. Common to all models was also a 5-speed manual transmission and disc brakes on all four wheels. The rear suspension uses a beam axle with coil springs. Air conditioning and a limited slip rear differential were optional on the later models. The 105 series coupés featured the GT (Gran Turismo) model description, which was common to all models in one form or another.
The various different models in this range can be considered in two broad categories:
On one hand were the various Gran Turismos and Gran Turismo Veloces. These were meant to be the most sporting cars in the Alfa Romeo range and sold very well to enthusiastic motorists around the world. The first model available was the Giulia Sprint GT (1963) which evolved into the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (1965), the 1750 GTV (1968) and the 2000 GTV (1972–1976), with engines increasing in cubic capacity from 1570 cc (Giulia Sprint GT/GTV) through 1779 cc (1750 GTV) to 1962 cc (2000 GTV).
On the other hand was the GT Junior range, which featured engines with smaller cubic capacities. GT Juniors sold in great numbers to people who wanted a sporting, stylish car that handled well, but either did not require the maximum in engine power, or could not afford the taxation on larger engine capacities in some markets - most notably, Alfa Romeo's home Italian market.
Junior models began with the first GT 1300 Junior in 1966. The GT 1300 Junior continued until 1976 with the 1290 cc engine and various modifications incorporating features from the evolution of the GT's and GTV's. From 1972 a GT 1600 Junior model was also available, with the 1570 cc engine.
Both categories were used to derive GTA ("Allegerita") models, which were specifically intended for competition homologation in their respective engine size classes. The GTA's featured extensive modifications for racing, so they were priced much higher than the standard models and sold in much smaller numbers. Practically all GTA's made were used in competition, where they had a long and successful history in various classes and category. These models included the Giulia Sprint GTA and GTA 1300 Junior.
The 2000 GTV (Tipo: 105.21) was introduced in 1971 together with the 2000 Berlina sedan and 2000 Spider “Fastback” (Series 2). The 2000 range was the replacement for the 1750 range. Once again the engine was rationalized throughout the range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm.The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars.
Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features:
Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline; Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts; Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet; The larger rear light clusters first fitted to United States market 1750 GTV's were standard for all markets on the 2000 GTV.
The 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by its different grille. From 1974 on, this became standard on the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior as well when the 105 Series coupe models were rationalized and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking the difference between models.37,459 2000 GTVs were made before production ended.

Het probleem is dat iedereen negatief is over downtown Los Angeles, het is erg crimineel – zelfs de lokale bevolking vindt het – er zijn erg veel zwervers en het is gewoonweg een verschrikking, komt het eigenlijk wel op neer… je moet verstandig zijn met waar je heen gaat – bijvoorbeeld Miami – en dus ook downtown… dus wanneer gaat meneer? Uiteraard op een rustige zondagmorgen wanneer er amper volk is.
Mijn eerste ervaring met de metro, waarmee ik gereisd heb erheen was best aardig, alleen viel het wel op dat ik zo ongeveer de enige blanke persoon was… en ik heb er toch zeker een uur in gezeten, geen idee hoeveel verschillende etnische diversiteiten er in Los Angeles area zijn. Het is schoon, netjes en graffitiloos, qua leeftijd een mix tussen de Rotterdamse en Amsterdamse metro’s maar een metro mag het eigenlijk niet genoemd worden – valt het op dat ik geen subway zeg? – de woordenboekdefinitie geeft aan dat een metro een ‘vervoersmiddel met een eigen spoor of weg zonder enige kruisingen of obstructies van overige verkeersvormen’… in de Los Angeles area heet alles metro als het over openbaar vervoer gaat, of het een bus, een tram of wat dan ook is. Metro Local, Metro Rapid, Metro Rail en Metro Express, de eerste twee zijn bussen, de andere twee sneltrams – metrotoestellen die op de openbare weg rijden, inderdaad met zichtbare draaistellen – tegen de regelgeving in Europa bijvoorbeeld, en dat in een land met zoveel ‘lawsuits’.
Het meest opvallende is dat je in de metro alleen de omroepinstallatie Engels hoort praten, want het is gewoon klein España erin… tot aan de posters aan toe, het volk is bijna al Spaanstalig, berichten worden in twee talen gegeven en zelfs de bordjes zijn Engels / Spaans! Dan kom je er echt achter dat minstens 20% van de stad gewoon echt alleen Spaans spreekt.
Voor de México reizigers, wil je het in een andere stad dan in Ciudad de México ook beleven, kom dan naar de stad der Engelen. De bouwstijl voornamelijk in het ‘midden’, de armere wijken, echt klein México. Aan de randen, kuststreken en in de heuvels staan grotere huizen, netter en meer Amerikaans, al dat er nog veel te verbeteren valt aan onderhoud en laat niet vergeten architectonische waarde! Het is bij elkaar geraapte zooi in veel gevallen. Op de kaart is het ook te zien, een strook van 7 tot 10 kilometer bevat grotere huizen, daarna wordt het kleiner en – niet te misstaan – crimineler. Mijn hotel is nieuw – recent gebouwd en ‘nep’ staalbouw met boardplaten wanden. Heb een luxe kamer, kingsize bed met ontbijt geboekt, krijg je een meter bredere kamer – 4 x 7.5 ongeveer – met koelkast, magnetrok, koffie en thee zetter, gratis internet, een zeer nette badkamer en vooral, véél ruimte, durf eigenlijk wel te zeggen meer dan in Hamburg voor een prijs van de helft tot een derde per nacht (prijs varieerde daar nogal).
Mijn hemel, wat is Long Beach een dump! En nee… niet Long Beach ten zuiden waar ik het eerst over had, dit is weer een andere… verwarring nog niet genoeg? Downtown, net uit de metro, wat een schok! Het was schoon, netjes en geen zwervers te zien – er zijn er 70.000 in totaal – maar even de straat uitgelopen, je kan het natuurlijk verkeerd hebben, bij god, deze zag er nog netter uit… om over verwarring te spreken.
Toch maar de camera voorzichtig gepakt, je hebt nog steeds de horrorverhalen gehoord en maar verder gelopen… ik heb nog niet eerder zo fijn in een binnenstad gelopen, de ruimte zo te hebben om foto’s te maken en van het ene toffe gebouw naar de volgende te lopen. Hoeveel ze er in downtown regio aan hebben gedaan om er een geweldige stad van te maken is indrukwekkend, praktisch geen vuiltje op straat te zien – logisch want er staan een $250 boeten EN 48 uur taakstraf op – maar ieder gebouw daar geplaatst heeft ook een stukje openbare ruimte verbeterd, van een mooie entreetrap met - bijpassende – betegeling op de stoepen, tot aan parkjes in commerciële gebouwen.
Ik had verwacht er een half uur te lopen, werden er vier of vijf, veel straten doorgekamd en veel gebouwen bezichtigd… tot ik eindelijk eens verkeerd liep en er achter kwam waar dat de problemen van de stad begonnen, letterlijk ernaast. Zwervers worden geweerd downtown, maar verderop kunnen ze hun gang gaan en alle parken zijn dus ook ‘bezet’ en zijn helaas niet goed of totaal niet te gebruiken door de mensen waar ze voor ontworpen zijn.
Het meest opvallende is dat Los Angeles vlak is, maar downtown op een heuvel staat, de straten lopen werkelijk van vlak ineens 7 graden hellend en dan ben je wel blij dat je goede schoenen aan hebt om 2 blokken te klimmen. De straat parallel ligt soms gewoon 15 meter lager. Gehry’s Walt Disnet Concert Hall is werkelijk fenomenaal om te zien, maar helaas zijn er wel wat ontwerpfouten gemaakt, voornamelijk in detaillering, want die is grofweg slecht te noemen. De platen bollen enigszins naar buiten en de hoeken zijn zó afschuwelijk te noemen, afwerking? Welke!
Vervolgens de hele binnenstad doorgelopen, uiteindelijk water gevonden – aan de Gehry kant van downtown zijn praktisch geen winkels, tip als iemand er heen wil gaan – en kan ‘the Coffee Bean’ goed aanraden, Starbucks is slecht vertegenwoordigd hier. En vervolgens een echte winkel gevonden in Sierra Mist ingeslagen, wat is dat spul toch veel beter dan de concurrentie. En al lopend is ineens de stad afgelopen… toch wel vreemd om het zo te zien, in Nederland heb je tenminste nog een singel ofzo er omheen. En nog iets opvallends, er is geen ‘grote markt’ dan had ik die ook niet verwacht in een Amerikaanse stad, maar er is geen centrum en de stad drijft alleen op zijn gebouwen erin, een plaza in de dichtste benadering ervan.
Nou… het was nog vroeg in de middag, laat ik maar eens naar Sunset Blvd. gaan, super bekende naam en wordt gelijk verbonden met Los Angeles – geen Hollywood – en de straat is wederom breed en schoon, maar… ondanks dat er een uniformiteit is bereikt door overal overduidelijke huisnummeraanduiding aan de gevels te hangen en het erg sfeervol in te richten, bied de straat werkelijk niets meer dan enige andere op de enkele winkel erin na, doei illusie. Deze is trouwens wel 10 kilometer lang, dus de westzijde ervan kan juist wel geweldig zijn, maar oost in ieder geval niet. Een observatorium lig niet ver naast Sunset, dus maar een poging gewaagd erheen te gaan, missie halverwege maar gestaakt, want die ging toch nergens heen en uiteindelijk maar goed, want ik was er toch niet gekomen op die manier. Vervolgens nog langs downtown gegaan om nog wat drinken in te slaan en daarna maar naar de hotelkamer gegaan, want mijn voeten wilde niet meer… vervolgens wilde ik de Flickr pagina updaten en wilde eerst even liggen omdat ik niet meer kon… 11 uur later wordt je gewekt door de wekker en dan weet je pas dat je toch wel een jetlag hebt… het was om 8 uur ’s avonds hier, toch zeker 5 uur ’s nachts in je eigen ritme…

We stayed at the City of Arts and Sciences from late afternoon till night time. There was a beautiful blue cast through twilight and then, about 8.00pm the lights came on. I forgot the tripod so it was a case of having a steady hand. A bit of noise in there but I'm glad I hung around - we had a few glasses of wine as well needless to say.
We decided to go for a city break rather than sun in Tenerife again this September. Other than a few days in the North East we haven’t been away since last March and wanted a change and hopefully some sun. The problem is getting flights from the north of England to the places we want to go to. We chose Valencia as we could fly from East Midlands – which was still a pain to get to as it involved the most notorious stretch of the M1 at five in the morning. In the end we had a fairly good journey, the new Ryanair business class pre-booked scheme worked quite well and bang on time as usual. It was dull when we landed with storms forecast all week, the sky was bright grey – the kiss of death to the photography I had in mind. I was full of cold and wishing I was at work. It did rain but it was overnight on our first night and didn't affect us. There has been a drought for eleven months apparently and it rained on our first day there! The forecast storms didn't materialise in Valencia but they got it elsewhere.
You May notice discrepancies in the spelling of some Spanish words or names, this is because Valencian is used on signs, in some guide books and maps. There are two languages in common use with distinct differences. There may also be genuine mistakes - it has been known!
Over the course of a Monday to Sunday week we covered 75 miles on foot and saw most of the best of Valencia – The City of Bell Towers. The Old City covers a pretty large area in a very confusing layout. There was a lot of referring to maps – even compass readings! – a first in a city for us. The problem with photography in Valencia is that most of the famous and attractive building are closely built around, some have poor quality housing built on to them. Most photographs have to be taken from an extreme angle looking up. There are no high points as it is pan flat, there are a small number of buildings where you can pay to go up on to the roof for a better view and we went up them – more than once!
The modern buildings of The City of Arts and Sciences – ( Ciutat de Las Arts I de les Ciencies ) are what the city has more recently become famous for, with tourists arriving by the coachload all day until late at night. They must be photographed millions of times a month. We went during the day and stayed till dark one evening, I gave it my best shot but a first time visit is always a compromise between ambition and realism, time dictates that we have to move on to the next destination. I travelled with a full size tripod – another first – I forgot to take it with me to TCoAaS! so It was time to wind up the ISO, again! Needless to say I never used the tripod.
On a day when rain was forecast but it stayed fine, albeit a bit dull, we went to the Bioparc north west of the city, a zoo by another name. There are many claims made for this place, were you can appear to walk alongside some very large animals, including, elephants, lions, giraffe, rhino, gorillas and many types of monkey to name a few. It is laid out in different geographical regions and there is very little between you and the animals, in some cases there is nothing, you enter the enclosure through a double door arrangement and the monkeys are around you. It gets rave reviews and we stayed for most of the day. The animals it has to be said gave the appearance of extreme boredom and frustration and I felt quite sorry for them.
The course of The River Turia was altered after a major flood in the 50’s. The new river runs west of the city flanked by a motorway. The old river, which is massive, deep and very wide between ancient walls, I can’t imagine how it flooded, has been turned into a park that is five miles long. There is an athletics track, football pitches, cycle paths, restaurants, numerous kids parks, ponds, fountains, loads of bridges, historic and modern. At the western end closest to the sea sits The City of Arts and Sciences – in the river bed. Where it meets the sea there is Valencia’s urban Formula One racetrack finishing in the massive marina built for The Americas Cup. The race track is in use as roadways complete with fully removable street furniture, kerbs, bollards, lights, islands and crossings, everything is just sat on the surface ready to be moved.
We found the beach almost by accident, we were desperate for food after putting in a lot of miles and the afternoon was ticking by. What a beach, 100’s of metres wide and stretching as far as the eye could see with a massive promenade. The hard thing was choosing, out of the dozens of restaurants, all next door to each other, all serving traditional Paella – rabbit and chicken – as well as seafood, we don’t eat seafood and it constituted 90% of the menu in most places. Every restaurant does a fixed price dish of the day, with a few choices, three courses and a drink. Some times this was our only meal besides making the most of the continental breakfast at the hotel. We had a fair few bar stops with the local wine being cheap and pleasant it would have been a shame not to, there would have been a one woman riot – or strike!
On our final day, a Sunday, we were out of bed and down for breakfast at 7.45 as usual, the place was deserted barring a waiter. We walked out of the door at 8.30 – in to the middle of a mass road race with many thousands of runners, one of a series that take place in Valencia – apparently! We struggled to find out the distance, possibly 10km. The finish was just around the corner so off we went with the camera gear, taking photos of random runners and groups. There was a TV crew filming it and some local celebrity (I think) commentating. Next we came across some sort of wandering religious and musical event. Some sort of ritual was played out over the course of Sunday morning in various locations, it involved catholic priests and religious buildings and another film crew. The Catholic tourists and locals were filling the (many) churches for Sunday mass. Amongst all of this we had seen men walking around in Arab style dress – the ones in black looked like the ones from ISIS currently beheading people – all carrying guns. A bit disconcerting. We assumed that there had been some sort of battle enactment. We were wrong, it hadn’t happened yet. A while later, about 11.30 we could hear banging, fireworks? No it was our friends with the guns. We were caught up in total mayhem, around 60 men randomly firing muskets with some sort of blank rounds, the noise, smoke and flames from the muzzles were incredible. We were about to climb the Torres de Serranos which is where, unbeknown to us, the grand, and deafening, finale was going to be. We could feel the blast in our faces on top of the tower. Yet again there was a film camera in attendance. I couldn’t get close ups but I got a good overview and shot my first video with the 5D, my first in 5 years of owning a DLSR with the capability. I usually use my phone ( I used my phone as well). Later in the day there was a bullfight taking place, the ring was almost next to our hotel, in the end we had other things to do and gave it a miss, it was certainly a busy Sunday in the city centre, whether it’s the norm or not I don’t know.
There is a tram system in Valencia but it goes from the port area into the newer part of the city on the north side, it wouldn’t be feasible to serve the historic old city really. A quick internet search told me that there are 55,000 university students in the city, a pretty big number. I think a lot of the campus is on the north side and served by the tram although there is a massive fleet of buses as well. There is a massive, very impressive market building , with 100’s of stalls that would make a photo project on its own, beautiful on the inside and out but very difficult to get decent photos of the exterior other than detail shots owing to the closeness of other buildings and the sheer size of it. Across town, another market has been beautifully renovated and is full of bars and restaurants and a bit of a destination in its own right.
A downside was the all too typical shafting by the taxi drivers who use every trick in the book to side step the official tariffs and rob you. The taxi from the airport had a “broken” meter and on the way home we were driven 22 km instead of the nine that is the actual distance. Some of them seem to view tourists as cash cows to be robbed at all costs. I emailed the Marriot hotel as they ordered the taxi, needless to say no answer from Marriot – they’ve had their money. We didn’t get the rip off treatment in the bars etc. that we experienced in Rome, prices are very fair on most things, certainly considering the city location.
All in all we had a good trip and can highly recommend Valencia.

This is 4 different frames from an infrared timelapse I shot the other day. What is going on here? The first frame at the top left is how it was meant to look. The other three have some odd things going on that I'm not a fan of. Why does the sun have a shadow? Why did some frames come out almost completely black? Why do some frames have glitches? I should have uploaded the colour versions now that I think about it. The dark shadow comming from the sun was green. (a "normal" photo is only b&w plus pink) The glitches (lines) were a bunch of different colours. Could that be some kind of sensor overload? I'm going to get an IR filter in the 700 nm range and see how that works.
ROMA ARCHEOLOGICA & RESTAURO ARCHITETTURA 2023. Italian Minister Sangiuliano & the Uffizi Gallery - "American families spend $10-20,000 to come to Italy, will now pay $25 for a Gallery ticket - Not a problem!" Italian News Sources (10/01/2023). wp.me/pbMWvy-3BS

1). ROME - Uffizi ticket prices in high season will rise to €25 from 1 March. WANTED IN ROME (10/01/2023).
The Uffizi in Florence will raise the price of individual tickets in the high season to cope with rising costs in the energy and construction sectors, the gallery said on Tuesday.
The new cost of tickets in the high season - from 1 March to 30 November - will be €25 instead of the current €20.

However for early morning visitors during the high season there will be a discounted ticket price of €19 between 08.15 and 08.55.
The cost of tickets for Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens, which are part of the Uffizi Galleries complex, remain unchanged.
Seasonal and family passes also remain unchanged as does the €12 ticket price to visit the Uffizi during the low season (1 December to 28 February).
The increase in high-season ticket prices was decided by the Uffizi board of directors, and approved by the regional directorate of museums of Tuscany and Italy's culture ministry.

"I think it's right, we have to adapt to European standards", culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano told reporters at Pompeii on Tuesday in response to a question on the increase of the Uffizi ticket prices and the possibility that other Italian cultural sites will follow suit.
"On average, the large European sites cost more" - Sangiuliano said - "I think that the increase also responds to a so-called "moral" question: for an American family that spends €10-20 thousand to come to Italy, paying €20 for a ticket is something that can be done".

Polemiche per l'aumento del biglietto degli Uffizi, costerà 25 euro a causa dei rincari: la spiegazione del ministro Sangiuliano però lascia dei dubbi.
Per vedere le opere del Botticelli, ma non solo, si dovranno pagare di più. Il Cda degli Uffizi ha deciso di aumentare il prezzo del singolo biglietto alla Galleria delle statue e delle pitture per far fronte all’aumento dei costi dovuto al caro energia. Dall’1 marzo 2023 al 30 novembre dello stesso anno il ticket costerà 25 euro. Non sono mancate le polemiche per il rialzo, pronta la replica del ministro della Cultura, Gennaro Sangiuliano, che lo ha giustificato.
Quanto costa adesso il biglietto
Il periodo scelto per l’aumento del biglietto che vale l’accesso alla ‘Galleria delle statue e delle pitture’ va dal 1° marzo al 30 novembre: è quello definito di ‘alta stagione’.

Nel 2022, nella stessa fascia temporale, il ticket è costato 20 euro.
Ad oggi, e fino al 28 febbraio 2023, lo stesso biglietto costa 12 euro, come confermato dagli Uffizi in un comunicato: questo perché il periodo è di ‘bassa stagione’.
I motivi del rincaro
Il Cda degli Uffizi ha deciso di aumentare il prezzo del singolo ingresso individuale alla ‘Galleria delle statue e delle pitture’ per far fronte all’aumento dei costi nel settore energetico ed edilizio.
Il rialzo riguarderà il solo ticket di accesso singolo per la Galleria in alta stagione: statisticamente, spiegano gli Uffizi, si tratta di un biglietto acquistato per la maggior parte dai turisti stranieri.
Ci sarà comunque uno sconto mattutino, proprio in alta stagione, per chi entrerà al museo tra le 8:15 e le 8:55 (già sperimentato a Palazzo Pitti): il biglietto costerà 19 euro.
Invariati “i prezzi e tutta la scontistica di bassa stagione, oltre agli abbonamenti Passepartout 5 Giorni, Passepartout annuale e Passepartout Family”, recita la nota degli Uffizi.
La replica di Sangiuliano alle polemiche
Il ministro Gennaro Sangiuliano è intervenuto rispondendo alle polemiche nate sui social dopo l’aumento del costo del biglietto per accedere agli Uffizi: “Penso che sia giusto, dobbiamo adeguarci agli standard europei” ha detto, ripreso dall’Ansa.
“Mediamente i grandi siti europei costano di più – ha aggiunto – fatta eccezione per la Gran Bretagna dove c’è una situazione particolare. Penso che l’aumento risponda anche a una questione per così dire ‘morale’. Per una famiglia americana che spende 10-20 mila euro per venire in Italia, pagare 20 euro un biglietto è una cosa che si può fare”.
Quanto costano i biglietti dei grandi musei nelle altre città europee
Ma quanto costano i biglietti dei grandi musei in Europa? Le parole del ministro, in realtà, lasciano parecchi dubbi.
Ecco l’elenco dei principali, simulando un acquisto online per il periodo estivo del 2023:
Berlino: Pergamonmuseum 12 euro;
Madrid: Prado 15 euro; Reina Sofia 12 euro;
Parigi: Louvre 17 euro; Musée d’Orsay 14 euro (16 in loco);
Amsterdam: Museo Van Gogh 20 euro.

I have been having serious problems with printing PDF patterns from my computer. The scale was always too small, even when I chose 'actual size' or 'no scaling' Apparently this is a huge issue for Windows 8 users, because when they got Windows 8, it came with Adobe Reader, but the Reader is an app version, and there is really no way that you would know that by using it, as it says that it is simply 'Reader'. So in order for you to print a true scale pattern, you must first install the full version of Adobe Reader onto your computer, then you need to go to your pdf files to change the default program to the full version for opening those files. Only then, will you get a correct scale of a printed pdf file.

Area 8th- through 12th graders participated in "Problem Solving & Application" led by Randy Jones during Kids on Campus 2023 on Monday, June 26, at the Main Campus in Galesburg. The class was coordinated through Workforce Development and Community Education.
This is Saghi Stanek - She is a very good friend of mine and my first photo model.
She is a wonderful natural and grounded, warm-hearted beauty with persian roots. She seems to have an absolute changeable personality.
The problem is that bright sunlight can wash out an LCD display to the point of being pretty useless. So you switch to the viewfinder. But if that's an EVF that too can't compete with bright sunlight -- if the sunlight can get in. Which it can't if there's a good eye fitting eye cup. But if your a spectacle wearer the eye cup fits the spec lens, and there's a gap between eye and lens. If the sun is in a position to see that gap it can wash out the EVF too.
Shading the gap with the other (non-shutter) hand can help a bit, at the cost of a less stable grip. A cap with a good comprehensive peak, like a baseball cap, can often be tipped so as to shade out the sun. But that's still only a partial solution.
I sometimes go out on a sunny day to photograpg flowers. It's quite nice sometimes to be able to isolate a flower against a black background. So I often take a large black scarf with me which can be used as a flower portrait background. I discovered that even in the worst sunlight for washing out the LCD & EVF that throwing the scarf over both my head and the camera gave a beautifully clear view of both EVF & LCD. In fact the cloth over both head and camera was how the original wooden large format camera users manages to see their very dim ground glass back screen displays.
But I was planning to take my Sony A77 camera, a well known sufferer from the bright sun problem, on holiday to Sicily. Where the sun is both very bright, and much too hot for carrying around a large black scarf.
But I would need a sun hat of some kind. So what about a sun hat with a very large very floppy peak which could be draped over the camera? There does exist a hat which has a peak at the front and a sort of curtain at the back to shield neck and ears from the tropical sun. Japanese soldiers in the jungle in WW2 films are often seen wearing this kind of hat. Members of the Foreign Legion wear a white version of this hat. It's often called a legionnaires hat. If put on back to front the neck curtain could provide an excellent sunlight blocking camera cloak.
This a photograph of me in Sicily wearing one the right way round. I'm using the peak to shade the gap between camera and eye. When the sun is not at a bad angle the front peak is often a good enough shade.

Several Kentucky school districts have started working with the University of Kentucky College of Education in a unique partnership to innovate and improve schools. The districts are participating in the college’s Next Generation Leadership (NxGL) Academy, an output of its Kentucky P20 Innovation Lab.
The academy takes school leaders who know the system needs to change and helps them work through implementation of innovative ideas. It launched last year with a pilot co-hort of school leaders. This year’s co-hort includes representatives from the following counties or districts: Barren, Paris Independent, Carroll, Clark, Graves, Hardin, Henry, Shacklette Elementary (Jefferson Co.), Knox, Mason, Trigg, Warren, Woodford, and Eminence Independent.
David Gilliam, principal of Madison Southern High School and member of the pilot co-hort, said of the academy, “This program gives us the core information about what’s happening in education. It allows us to connect with some of the top experts around the world. But, probably the most beneficial part of it is for the team from our district to just sit down with these issues on the table – the charge of reinventing school – and be able to work through ideas and challenge each other. It is very beneficial.”
While participants will meet several times throughout the coming year, much of the work also takes place during online meetings between the school districts and university faculty. Through the process, several schools have met College of Education faculty members with whom they have partnered to provide training and programs within their local districts.
Council of Chief State School Officers Executive Director Gene Wilhoit and Kentucky Education Commissioner Terry Holliday addressed participants during the first day of the academy. Both emphasized the state and federal resources available to help schools as they transition to new models of learning. In fact, a recently passed bill in Kentucky will soon be able to help schools get past regulations that may stand in the way of trying out innovative ideas for improving schools, Holliday said.
From how student learning is assessed to the way teachers are trained, Wilhoit outlined a number of ways education must change so future generations of Kentuckians can find jobs to support their families and live fulfilled lives.
“I think the promise of this is unbelievable,” Wilhoit said. “I’ve seen it happen in many schools in isolated ways, but the problem is we’re not doing it across the board.”
Districts that have completed the Next Generation Leadership Academy have the opportunity to work with the UK College of Education to develop Innovation Zones (iZones) within their schools. The iZones provide places to test innovative ideas and scale up what works.
The NxGL Academy’s focus is around the Council of Chief State School Officer’s six critical attributes of Next Generation Learning:
•Personalized Learning calls for a data-driven framework to set goals, assess progress, and ensure students receive the academic and developmental supports they need to succeed.
•Comprehensive Systems of Learning Supports address the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development along a continuum of services to ensure the success of all students
•World-Class Knowledge and Skills requires achievement goals to sufficiently encompass the content knowledge and skills required for success in a globally-oriented world.
•Performance-based learning puts the student at the center of the learning process by enabling the demonstration of mastery of high, clear, and commonly-shared expectations.
•Anytime, anywhere learning provides innovative practices that promote learning beyond the traditional classroom and may include virtual or out-of-school settings leveraging technology as a tool for learning.
•Student voice/agency is the deep engagement of students in directing and owning their individual learning and shaping the nature of the education experience.
About the Kentucky P20 Innovation Lab:
•P20 relies upon the world-class research and expertise of the UK College of Education’s faculty, students and staff.
•P20 builds a bridge between school districts and the UK College of Education to enable an easy exchange of information between schools and higher education.
•P20 faculty and staff design and offer a Next Generation Leadership Academy for school leaders to build capacity to design new systems for learning.
•P20 helps create iZones within school districts. iZones allow college faculty and school personnel to work together to redesign and rethink current policies, practices and programs to support 21st Century learners.
Why is P20 needed?
•Many increasingly recognize one primary challenge: schooling and instruction are mass-produced, expecting students of various abilities, support systems and interests to progress through the same educational program at the same pace without sufficient regard to their individual learning needs.
• Information, once collected in reference books and distilled by teachers, is now everywhere, which changes the roles of teachers and schools. Even the most specialized topics and guidance are only a few keystrokes away.
• In Kentucky, only 83.91% of students complete high school and only 32% of Kentuckians ages 25-34 have a college degree.
•Routine jobs are increasingly disappearing to low wage countries or automated systems.
•To succeed in the global economy today’s students must be prepared to problem solve, work collaboratively, and to be creative and self-motivated. They will be required to produce evidence of competencies for required work.
How do we do school differently?
•• P20 roots out what doesn’t work and replaces it with ways of learning that will prepare all students for college and careers.
•P20 gives students a voice in designing the future of their education. When high school students were recently interviewed about how to do school differently, they were so stuck inside the model they have been part of for 15 or so years, they couldn’t think differently. We are finding ways to get from students what they really want from school – not just a version of what they think school is supposed to be.
•P20 builds upon existing and emerging infrastructures in Kentucky that will make this work sustainable over time.
Early Success Stories:
One of the first P20 iZone schools, Eminence Independent, is implementing some of the following changes:
•Partnership with Bellarmine College to offer college-level courses to qualified students with no cost to students;
•Redesigned Master Schedule (Core classes three days per week. Benchmark ready students take classes two days a week on Bellarmine’s campus);
•Wi-Fi on school bus transporting students to Bellarmine College in Louisville;
•One-to-one technology devices (Mac-Book Pro) for all high school students;
•Students trained to give feedback on educational experiences using Twitter;
•Student and Teacher Voice Teams for input in district decisions;
•Standards-Based Report Cards; and
•Working with sister school in England on using results from student aspirations surveys to better engage students in learning.
