Product shots are generally shot in an abyss of white space, but like many other aspects of photography I like to work differently. With the help from my brother (a Nikon shooter, ironic huh?) we set up this quick shot to give you an insight to some of the gear I carry about with me on location shoots. It's always important to plan the kit you need for a shoot, as you'll never want to be without that vital piece of equipment which you clumsily forgot to pack.
The lenses cover a focal range of 24-200mm and the 2 speedlites always give me the option to light most scenes should I need, with the ST-E2 transmitter coming in handy by not only controlling the speedlites off-camera but doubling up as an AF Assist. The above picture shows what I carry most of the time on a day-to-day basis.
Preperation is key, and each shoot is planned carefully. Having the correct gears means your able to maximise the available time shooting. If your interested in a complete kit list feel free to click here.


We now know that Mortal Kombat 11 is going to focus on bringing back fan-favorite characters for its roster. Could Reptile be among the cast of returning characters? An interesting tidbit from NetherRealm Studios Art Director Steve Beran may have confirmed that.
In an interview with DualShockers, Mr. Beran was discussing the tag team modifier element of Mortal Kombat 11. This allows you to use different characters as you fight your way through the Towers of Time mode. While fighting, you can call in your tag team partner for a few attacks, and then they hop back out of the fight. As Beran elaborated, he had this to say.
Beran specifically mentions Reptile during the example, which would make it the first time we've heard about anything Reptile-related in the game. It would be odd to call in an attack from Reptile during a fight without the character himself not appearing, wouldn't it?
Cynical me: "He'll be exclusive to the tag team"
Doesn't mean he's in the game. Cyrax's green web shoots at you offscreen as well and I doubt he's in the game. Best case they both make it in.


American Hangnail "Association." Do we need one? | J. Morris Hicks, writer. speaker. big picture guy.
American Hangnail "Association." Do we need one?
If you missed the CNN Special "The Last Heart Attack" this past Sunday, you will have several opportunities to see it — described later in this post. Among other things, that "special" got me to thinking about all of the huge organizations that have been created for the diseases driven by our toxic Western diet: the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the American Diabetes Association to name just a few. We're talking about huge organizations with thousands of employees and billions of dollars.
Ever wondered what would happen to all of those organizations if each of their specialty "diseases" simply disappeared. Dr. Esselstyn says that heart disease (our number 1 killer) is a "toothless paper tiger that need never exist." And he knows how to get rid of it quickly if it does exist — without the use of stents, statins and bypass surgery. By simply returning to the natural diet for our species, we can eliminate an estimated 80% of all diseases and their trillions of dollars of cost.
Thanks to Dr. Gupta and CNN this past Sunday, now millions more people know how to make themselves "heart attack proof." And with no heart disease, there would be no more reason to have an American Heart Association than it would be to have an American Hangnail Association. Sounds ludicrous, but it's true. Clearly, there is no need for a "hangnail association," nor would there be much need for any specialty organizations focusing on diseases that no longer existed.
As one insurance rep put it, "We get a piece of the pie -- the bigger the pie, the more we get. if everyone gets healthy, we're out of business."
Then there's the medical insurance business. When we all start eating the right foods and 80% of our cost of health care disappears, what will happen to the insurance business? Once again, there would be no need for insurance to cover screening for heart disease and colon cancer for example — if they didn't exist. As with any insurance, when risk approaches zero, there is no need for insurance. And if there were, it would be very cheap — reducing the giant medical insurance business to a mere fraction of its former size. The same goes for big pharma and all of the other pieces of that vast system — there is just not much money to be made by people getting healthy.
As with heart disease, Dr. Dean Ornish states on the cover of our book, type 2 diabetes is almost completely reversible with an optimal diet.
Don't think it will ever happen? Well, think again. Just this past Sunday, Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN let the cat out of the bag with his powerful "Last Heart Attack" special, starring a former president of the United States. Now, he's doing follow-up interviews, which will lead to more interviews, more specials, more networks picking up the story, and more people challenging the vast inter-connected "system" that brought us the toxic Western diet and is dedicated to maintaining the status quo.
It would appear that Dr. Sanjay Gupta is now a man on a mission to promote a plant-based diet as an effective cure and prevention of heart disease. In this 4-minute CNN promo video, Dr. Gupta re-affirms research showing that people who followed Dr. Esselstyn's diet became heart attack proof, while people who dropped out of his program and went back to the standard American diet — died of or got sicker with heart disease. A plant-based diet works, says Dr. Gupta. Good food heals, bad food kills. It's really that simple.
Now, there is another CNN video with Dr. Gupta talking specifically about Bill Clinton's success with a plant-based diet to reverse his heart disease. He also responds to the question that we all hear about a hundred times a week, "Where do you get your protein?" Dr. Gupta calls that argument a "fallacy." Want to see the full "special," see end of next paragraph.
Now that we have a mainstream news organization sharing this amazing story without reservations, our grassroots revolution has just picked up a huge ally. CNN also will be airing "The Last Heart Attack" special again this Saturday, Sept. 3 at 8 p.m. Or you can watch it on video now, near the bottom of my review of that show.
Not meaning to step on any toes, there is actually a federation of nail technicians -- but no GIANT organization searching for the "cure."

1 Response to American Hangnail "Association." Do we need one?
When ever there is change "New Things Happen" like new jobs created by loss of others. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have said to a class of Columbia University grad students that there are jobs being created in the near future that none of us in this room can fathom and there will be jobs we thought we could depend on that will be lost. "So get use to it". So when the medical field and insurance business decrease to almost nothing new businesses will arise to replace them. Like maybe aquaculture for fresh fruits and veggies grown in any climate year round on your local street corner or health practicioners that actually teach how to treat the cause of pain and bad health. Anyway you get my point, i for one am not worried about change because it brings with it a fresh breath of hope and in this case happiness for millions of people. Keep up the great articles and research.

NFL Draft - Day 1
NFL Draft 2017: How great was 49ers' first round? GM John Lynch puts it in perspective
Written By Marcus DiNitto
(Getty Images) https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/omnisport/6f/1/thomas-solomon-042817-getty-ftr_16cbrdynoainx1i2wt6y9l1c27.jpg?t=-1256123173&w=500&quality=80
In case there is any doubt the 49ers were a decided "winner" on the first day of the NFL Draft, the players the team landed with the Nos. 3 and 31 overall picks were two of the top three prospects on its board, new GM John Lynch claims.
Those two players: Stanford DE Solomon Thomas and Alabama LB Reuben Foster
"I can tell you right off the bat that what we had on the board was just under 200 players, and in terms of how we rated them, we got two of our top three players," Lynch said, per ESPN.com. "We were able to do that, and we're thrilled. We're ecstatic. We think these guys have a lot of traits of what we want to be about as a football organization."
As the night began, San Francisco swapped the second and third overall picks with Chicago and also acquired the Bears' third-round (No. 67 overall) and fourth-round picks (No. 111) this year and their third-round pick in 2018. While the Bears selected QB Mitch Trubisky with the No. 2 pick and the 49ers picked Thomas No. 3, the overwhelming feeling among NFL observers is the 49ers got the far better end of the trade.
Later Thursday evening, with team after team passing on Foster, the 49ers traded up with the Seahawks for the 31st overall pick to snag him.
Lynch, per the San Jose Mercury News, said the Niners started dialing nearly every team in the league to put themselves in position to get Foster.
While Foster tested positive for a diluted urine sample at the NFL Combine, Lynch said, "We were exhaustive in getting to know the kid. It felt genuine. That's something we loved about Reuben is that he's really genuine, he's got a smile that lights up a room, and the way he plays football is special."
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan added of the team's Thursday-night haul, "When we went into this draft, I felt like we wanted to get whoever we thought were the best players available at the time, but it was also a huge goal of ours to add some more picks. We definitely don't think we're just one or two players away. We want to add a nucleus of people."
As of this Friday morning writing, the 49ers do not have a second-round pick, but do have the second and third picks (66th and 67th overall) in the third round.
"We could not be more happy with the day, and it's just getting started," Lynch said Thursday. "We come back tomorrow and we've got a lot of picks and we're looking forward to improving our team tomorrow."

Bird Migration & Climate Change
Photo Credit: By Bmajoros (CC BY-SA 4.0), via Wikimedia Commons.
Climate change could be leading to food shortages for migrating birds.
A bare cupboard for migrating birds. I'm Bob Hirshon and this is Science Update.
Neotropical migrant birds breed in North America in spring and summer and migrate to Central and South America each fall. At Acadia National Park in Maine, wildlife field biologist Sarah Deckel and a team of volunteers from the group Earthwatch are counting berries and catching and banding birds migrating south to see if there's a mismatch that could cause birds to starve before completing their journey.
Climate change is in effect, and we're trying to see if this is causing the plants to produce fruit earlier. And the birds are migrating later because of these season changes, so that's our main concern here.
Biologist Richard Feldman is in Yucatan, Mexico, documenting the birds' arrival and condition. Many neotropical migrant birds are threatened or endangered, and the work will help determine if climate change is contributing to their plight. I'm Bob Hirshon, for AAAS, the science society.
The Acadia National Park in Maine provides critical stopover habitat for the many bird species whose migration is heavily concentrated in the Gulf of Maine. In fact, Acadia is on a bird "superhighway," a route heavily traveled by birds that migrate between Canada and South America. For example, researchers have recorded 23 species of warblers alone here.
Understanding how bird populations use this area is vital for effectively managing stopover habitats and protected lands, including the land of the national park, and for guiding responsible development on shore and, in regard to wind power, off the coast. The research that Schoodic Institute is leading and facilitating is helping expand knowledge of how migratory birds move through the Gulf of Maine and use its habitats, how they and the fruit they eat are responding to changes in the environment, and how threats to their survival could be minimized. In particular, the work that Sarah Deckel and her team of volunteers are doing is to find out if there are shifts in when flowers become fruits and if the fruits are available when the birds need them.
In order to carry out this work, the Schoodic Institute is building off of a long tradition of citizen science at Acadia National Park that dates back more than 120 years. Citizen science is the involvement of the public in scientific research. As a result of the research done by citizens, the park possesses a wealth of invaluable historical records that are like gold to researchers and park managers who are trying to understand and preserve bird species.
Sarah Deckel and the Earthwatch volunteers are trying to build off of this research by tracking migratory birds and counting berries. To catch the birds, they use mist nets, which are typically made of nylon or polyester mesh suspended between two poles, resembling a volleyball net. Once captured, they measure the birds according to scientific protocol and attach an official, identifying bird band. They then release the birds. There are researchers in countries like Mexico who will document the birds' arrival and condition.
In addition to catching the birds, the team counted berries in quadrants near where mist nets were set up. This activity involved some bush whacking and off path hiking. The berry counts were being taken to determine if fruit counts and timing were changing due to climate change. By mist netting in the same area, they were trying to determine the effect on migrating birds.
The results of this citizen science research could aid scientists in figuring out what effect, if any, climate change has on migratory birds' ability to migrate south for the winter.
What is a bird "superhighway"?
Why are scientists trying to understand how bird populations use the area in Acadia National Park?
What are Sarah Deckel and the volunteers trying to discover about the relationship between timing of fruits and arrival of migratory birds?
What is citizen science and how far back does it date in Acadia National Park?
How are the birds caught and tagged?
You can follow up this Science Update with one on Birdsong and Climate, which looks at how birds that live in more variable climates sing more sophisticated songs.
You can explore some of the changes that have been observed in Acadia National Park by going to Whenology and looking at its data visualizations.

Q: Is there an equivalent to ASP.NET WEB API in JAVA world? I've been a .NET web developer for several years now, working with asp.net web forms and c#, wcf etc.But recently developed touch enabled customer facing application.
Its device-agnostic application designed for any platform capable of running HTML5 applications (iOS, Android, Windows8), for Mobile devices  (such as tablets),
Assisted or unassisted kiosks, Laptop or desktop computers.
we used asp.net webapi, ASP.net MVC 4.0 framework, Jquery mobile libraries, HTML 5, signal R for development.
Is it possible for us to migrate or convert complete server side code(i.e controllers methods) under Java?
Does Apache tomcat server or (webspehere) supports verbs like PUT, DELETE inaddition to GET and POST?
Any thing available in Java world which is equivalent ASP.NET SignalR functionality?
what are the required softwares or libraries for developing device aganostic touch enabled applications in java?
I think Web API objectively wins out over other APIs in below few key areas.
Content negotiation,
Flexibility,
Separation of concerns
How much extent Spring MVC API or Jersey API will support the above areas?

A:
Is it possible for us to migrate or convert complete server side
  code(i.e controllers methods) under Java?

You could, but it's not very easy as there is not direct mapping apis, but there are similar apis which you could use. There are lots of people who have done it

Does Apache tomcat server or (webspehere) supports verbs like PUT,
  DELETE inaddition to GET and POST?

Yes all HTTP commands can be enabled/disabled in Tomcat or any JEE compliant App servers

Any thing available in Java world which is equivalent ASP.NET SignalR
  functionality?

DWR (Direct Web Remoting), Vaadin, GWT etc. But I am sure there are more.

What are the required softwares or libraries for developing device
  aganostic touch enabled applications in java?

JavaMe, Android, GWT-Touch etc. Also this link might help you.
Java rest Apis

*

*Apache CXF, an open source Web service framework.

*Jersey, the reference implementation from Sun (now Oracle).

*RESTeasy, JBoss's implementation.

*Apache Wink, Apache Software Foundation Incubator project, the server module implements JAX-RS.

*Apache Tuscany (http://tuscany.apache.org/documentation-2x/sca-java-bindingrest.html)

Hope this helps.

A: Jersey (jax-rs) is a very solid alternative to ASP.NET Web API in the Java World.

Jersey RESTful Web Services framework is open source, production
quality, framework for developing RESTful Web Services in Java...

It's an annotation based approach to the problem. I think it's a very well thought and productive environment. You can customize all sorts of stuff and that contains sane defaults.

A: The answer is yes you can create restful web service in Java with spring framework. Here is and example of how code looks
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLong;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class GreetingController {

private static final String template = "Hello, %s!";
private final AtomicLong counter = new AtomicLong();

@RequestMapping("/greeting")
public Greeting greeting(@RequestParam(value="name", defaultValue="World") String name) {
    return new Greeting(counter.incrementAndGet(),
                        String.format(template, name));
}

}

2020 election season officially ends in Richmond, Columbia Counties
by: Chloe Salsameda
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) — Months of voting finally came to an end this week with Richmond and Columbia Counties certifying results from the Senate runoff elections.
The unprecedented election season began in the Spring of 2020. People headed to the polls for the presidential primary election. However, voting came to a halt when the pandemic began. Election boards rushed to adapt their plans to accommodate CDC guidelines, resulting in them exceeding their budgets.
"The cost of the election skyrocketed because we offered hazard pay to poll workers, put personal protective equipment in polling stations and provided more advance voting and mail-in ballots," Lynn Bailey, the Executive Director of the Richmond County Board of Elections, says.
Bailey tells NewsChannel 6 her board budgeted $160,000 for the year. However, it likely spent about $600,000. Much of the costs derived from a ballot audit, recount and January's Senate runoff election. A record number of people voted early in both Richmond and Columbia Counties during that election. 50,993 absentee or early votes were cast in Richmond County, while 47,425 were cast in Columbia County.
The runoff election did not come without its hiccups. 34 of Columbia county's 47 precincts experienced technical issues with its voting machines on Election Day, forcing dozens of people to use paper ballots.
"I hate that it happened," Nancy Gay, the Executive Director of the Columbia County Board of Elections, says. "I don't want anyone in Columbia County or Georgia to have doubts in the voting process. To have that kind of mark on us hurts."
Throughout the year, election officials leaned on their poll workers who kept operations running daily. Gay says they are the "unsung heroes of 2020."
"They really risked putting their life on the line with each election last year.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) - Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, federal student loan payments were paused in March, with no consequences to borrowers. The federal student loan moratorium is now scheduled to end January 31st.
"Essentially, interest rates were set to 0 percent," Andrew Pentis, senior writer for Student Loan Hero said. "The promise was made that if you had a federal student loan, and it was eligible for this program, not making payments would not penalize you in any way, so there wouldn't be any negative impact on your credit report."
