TG-5 is an “advanced cellphone”, aimed for social media posting, while allowing a bit more flexibility than a regular one. The camera is made to help you, to guess what you want, and to deliver it, on a way that will look good on social media (though not in a truly way, assuming there is any trueness on digital photography). If you’re a beginner, none of this will bother you. White balance (Kelvin selection mode) can be done up to a point, but there will probably be too many greens and too few magentas… You get what you pay for, and it’s a lot, comparing to what you’d get half a decade ago. It happens with dynamic range, even on Raw files (they are artificially flattened), resulting in areas with excessive noise (the ones that should have been darker) even shooting at base ISO. It’s all about computational photography, rather than an optics. Overall, you don’t really control any setting on TG-5. It’s not made for real portraits: subject isolation isn’t great, bokeh is terrible, skin tone isn’t accurate or flattering, but under such size (of sensor, of lens and body) it couldn’t really be better.Chromatic aberration is very noticeable (something to be expected on these small, plastic lenses).It is useless for most hand held scenarios (you’d certainly move the camera and miss focus in between manually focusing and pressing the shutter button). It vanishes as you stop rotating the focusing knob, so you cannot focus by moving the camera back and forward. Manual focus assisting (zooming while focusing) maybe works with a tripod.Image, overall, won’t be so different from one setting to another (except, of course, exposure). I really cannot get how Olympus came out with these numbers, as depth of field hasn’t much to do with full frame’s. They change to higher values when you zoom in. There are only three aperture values to be selected, named F/2, F/2.8 and F/8.Maybe Olympus engineers want us to buy TG-6 (there are rumours on a near future announcement)… So far, there are a few work arounds, I will explain later. You cannot set speed! That’s TG-5 inexplicable major flaw. There is no manual mode – only an A (aperture priority mode), which is the only one I use.This is what I realised (and didn’t like) from those first experiences: I prefer to take a new camera (or lens) with me, on regular daily life for a few days, to understand it, before taking it underwater. There’s nothing worse than missing a Nat Geo moment, jut because you’re not familiarised with your rig. Diving is time consuming and expensive, photo opportunities don’t often come, so it can be really frustrating. ![]() The worst mistake a photographer can make is to get a new camera and jump straight in the water without prior testing. RGBlue (at the left) is used as a focusing light. Olympus TG-5 underwater macro rig – AOI UCL 09 + UCL 900 for maximum magnification, and the option to use Mini Gear MS-03 or a small strobe for lighting. I already had AOI UCL – 09 and UCL – 900, which I use with my Nikon D810 Nauticam rig. – Minigear MS-03 Snoot Diving Light (360 SGD, at Divesea website) – AOI UWL-400 Wide Conversion Lens (555 SGD, at Divesea website) It halves TG-5 focal distance, for true wide angle images and video. Olympus has an adaptor to fix them at the front, which can cause troubles as the cables swing in front of the front port. ![]()

![]() Go to the lesson How to read ledger lines Learn to play Alouette here, with the Skoove Piano App! Or another amazing thing to do is to play the song in the correct octave first, and then when you repeat it, to move the whole song an octave above! Can you hear them ring so low, like the bells of a church in medieval France? Imagine playing the bass part an octave below with ledger lines. One of the effective things is to take a traditional song like Alouette and do creative things with it. The important thing of this is that pianists can learn to play music that was not originally written for the piano! Flute music? Of course! Upright bass music? Definitely! Synthesizer bass lines originally written for pop music? You bet! Instead of writing music that is only in one place, we can use our ledger lines to play music that is above or below the staff. ![]() Ledger lines allow pianists to use the versatility of their instrument while still keeping the music easy to read. It will be written in a different clef to instruct you about which hand to play. Remember, one ledger line below the treble clef, and one ledger line above the bass clef are both C. You’ll find this note played very often in the final moments of a piece. This is another very important point to recognize, because it is often the lowest note of a song you will play in the key of C. Two lines below the bottom of the bass clef is a low C. This is a very important anchor point to learn, as it is where many scale patterns end, or it is where many octave patterns begin. Two lines above the top of the treble clef is a high C. The best way to learn to read music when they are off the clef is by using simple rules to remember. Let’s look at some piano lines.īecause each clef only has five lines, we have to figure out a way to learn how to read the piano notes names when they fall off the grand staff. These are an important part of learning to read piano sheet music. We also use a ledger line to show middle C. Visually, they are the little lines that represent the lines of the staff, but they are off of the staff. Whenever we need to read a note that is above or below the treble or bass staff, we use a ledger line. No credit card details required Start your piano journey now! What are ledger lines? ![]() “The idea was to camp out at the Site, work the songs up and record them one at a time so, that way, we wouldn’t get too far ahead of ourselves.” “My job was to try and keep everyone feeling as creative as possible,” he recalled to Crowe. While it was typical for Nineties rock artists to record their albums in phases, finalizing the rhythm tracks for all the songs before layering other instruments and vocals on top of them, O’Brien and Pearl Jam kept the intensity intact by completing one song before moving on to the next. ![]() The band recorded the album one song at a time. It was a way to get us all together to have fun.”Ģ. Tomorrow, 9:30, pep talk in the kitchen, and then we’re going to play softball.’ We did that for quite a while. “I encouraged us to meet every morning,”O’Brien told Cameron Crowe in an interview for the Pearl Jam Twenty documentary. sessions at the Site, a residential studio in Northern California’s Marin County, O’Brien and the band loosened up for each day of recording by playing softball. So I think that my role at the time was really getting those guys in a room and getting them in a head space to record and make records.”ĭuring Vs. “They had just blown up with popularity out of nowhere. “ We all kind of hit at the same time,” he told Rolling Stone in 2013. The band played softball every day before rolling the tape.Ī talented musician in his own right, O’Brien instinctively understood that the band needed to be distracted from the immense expectations being heaped upon it by fans and the record company. In honor of the 25th anniversary of Vs., here are 10 things you might not know about the album.ġ. tops even that debut.”Įvery Awful Thing Trump Has Promised to Do in a Second Term found the band exploring new sounds and dynamics, resulting in acoustic-driven highlights like “Daughter” and “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town,” and the funkier feel of tracks such as “Rats” and “Animal.” “ Few American bands have arrived more clearly talented than this one did with Ten,” raved Paul Evans in Rolling Stone, “ and Vs. ![]() Looser, heavier and angrier than their debut, Vs. Though the recording sessions weren’t easy - personality conflicts abounded, and Vedder was particularly unhappy with the studio that had been chosen for the project - Pearl Jam emerged victorious with Vs., an album that still stands as one of the strongest records of their long and storied career. The groove shifted on the second record.” And Dave had really different strengths as a drummer than Dave Krusen. “It was a little bit like we were making our first record all over again,” bassist Jeff Ament told Rolling Stone in 2017, “because it was with a different drummer and a new producer. Making things more difficult was the fact that the band was recording for the first time with both drummer Dave Abbruzzese, who’d replaced Dave Krusen shortly before the release of Ten, and producer Brendan O’Brien. Far more remarkable, in retrospect, was that the band didn’t completely implode under pressure during the album’s recording.ĭeeply uncomfortable with the demands of stardom, yet also accused of being “sellouts” by many musicians, fans and critics from the alternative-music world (especially in the Seattle scene that spawned them), Pearl Jam were caught in a classic damned-if-you-do/damned-if-you-don’t conundrum before they’d even recorded a note of their second LP. So when Vs., released on October 19th, 1993, set an industry record by selling more than 950,000 copies in its first five days on the shelves - outperforming all other entries in that week’s Billboard Top 10 combined - it wasn’t a particularly huge surprise for anyone who’d been following Pearl Jam’s rapid rise. In the two years since the release of Ten, their 1991 debut, the band had vaulted from obscurity to the forefront of the rock mainstream on the strength of visceral singles like “Alive,” “Jeremy” and “Even Flow,” and high-intensity live performances in which frontman Eddie Vedder often risked life and limb in his quest to win over audiences. Calling Pearl Jam’s sophomore album “hotly anticipated” would have severely understated the case. ![]() ![]() We could not agree with you more, and this is the reason why we do what we do. finally, the representation we deserve and need! □□ i just wanna thank the app developers for making this, you made my whole week! i’ll be playing this for the rest of my life! that is until i came across THIS coloring app, and this sudden wave of warmth and excitement just washed over me. it made me feel left out, and like i was being used. i’m sure the app developers know that people all races use their apps, so why not represent all races within that app? why not support those who support you, you feel me? out of all of the coloring apps i would play, i never saw a single picture with my people or my color in there. that always sat in the back of my mind and kinda made me upset.

Lime: Limes are used in two ways lime zest and lime juice.Strawberries: Fresh strawberries add a wonderful burst of sweetness and color to the salsa.It provides a sweet and tangy base that balances the flavors of the other ingredients. Pineapple: A ripe and juicy pineapple is essential in this recipe.With this healthy recipe, there are enough possibilities to add it to your weekly rotation.To make a delicious and fresh Strawberry Pineapple Salsa, you will need the following ingredients: Serve this tropical creation in a whole-wheat wrap or over a bed of leafy greens for a healthy lunch or dinner options. The chicken mixture, mango, cashew, and cilantro leaves don’t have to remain in lettuce wraps, though. Filled with sweet mango and a hint of lime juice, one Test Kitchen professional said these wraps are “a wonderful taste of the tropics.” Lettuce wraps are easily portable, so we recommend making extra chicken mixture to pack for lunch during the week. Wrapped in tender butter lettuce and garnished with cashews for crunch, these lettuce wraps have more flavor and texture than you would expect in their small package. ![]() These lettuce wraps pack a little heat and a little sweet. It’s not often that you come across a 15-minute recipe that’s light but filling enough for a meal. Assemble the wraps and serve them family-style on a large platter, or set out all of the components in bowls and let everyone help themselves. The chicken salad, which is livened up with a touch of jalapeño, lime zest, and honey, earned rave reviews in the Test Kitchen. These no-cook lettuce wraps are impressive enough for a party but easy enough to pull off on the busiest weeknight. Stick to this tradition-you’ll enjoy licking your hands once the bowl is empty-just keep a glass of water at hand because things are bound to get spicy. On the island, we may not live in huts without electricity (as some people assume), but we do eat chow with our fingers. If you cannot locate shado beni at your local grocery store, you’re sure to find it at any West Indian or Mexican market. In chow, hard green mangoes are sliced, marinated in lime juice, and seasoned with shado beni, a spiny coriander plant. It’s a popular topping for shark and bake sandwiches, grilled meat, and anything curried-my stomach is growling just typing this. On an early morning drive to Maracas Beach, on the north coast of the island, I’ll spy vendors setting up shop to sell chow of all sorts. It’s a garlicky, spicy, tart fruit salad that’s most commonly made with mango, but apple, pineapple, pommecythere, and cucumber may show up, too. Green mangoes are an integral ingredient in Trinidadian cuisine, like kutchela, chutney, takari, and my favorite breakfast dish, chow. Failure or success, a stolen batch is always worth the scolding. ![]() (Depending on your luck, you might find one on the ground.) If Grandpa catches the thief, Arabic swear words are cast toward them, followed by one mighty steups (the sucking sound made by sticking tongue against teeth-a sure sign of irritation). One person distracts Grandpa while another climbs the tree and picks the unripe gems right off the branch. Problem: Grandpa is only willing to share his fruit once it’s fully grown, but what he doesn’t know can’t hurt him, right? His grandkids-me included-are sneaky. It bears bright yellow and orange sun-kissed fruit with a slight pink blush, and a few prized unripe green mangoes camouflaged within the leaves. Towering 35 feet over the green grass in Grandpa’s garden, casting shade over his home, stands the most majestic tree. But in my opinion, an unripe mango-what we Trinidadians call a “green mango”-trumps all. When the overwhelming heat of dawn swells in the walls of our home, sucking on the seed of an ice-cold ripe mango is pure cooling bliss. We all throw our hands up at this week’s Julie mango harvest.

While the map on Galka’s personal blog may have been updated – the map in his article has the correct colors for each county – the map on Huffpost is incorrect. The blog post was republished on HuffPost in December 2016. The map was part of an article, by Max Galka, that examines how electoral maps usually don’t provide enough information to show just how many people voted in each precinct. Where the inaccurate map might have come fromĪs Twitter user Loren Collins noted on Tuesday, it appears that the county-by-county map shared by the President was initially published less than two weeks after the election on a personal blog dedicated to data visualization. Clinton earned about 3 million more votes than Trump even though he won far more counties. Specifically, they do not distinguish between a county with millions of residents and a county with a few thousand. And it was far from the first time that Trump has tweeted information from others without verifying it himself.Īs numerous analysts have pointed out when Trump has previously touted county-level maps, such maps provide incomplete information. It was also not the first time Trump has displayed an inaccurate county-by-county election map he also displayed one in early 2018. The Clinton-won counties the map wrongly shows as Trump-won counties include Orange County, California Washoe County, Nevada Lake County, Minnesota Gallatin County, Montana and Whitman County, Washington. ![]() ![]() ![]() But it is not correct.įacts First: The map the Trumps tweeted inaccurately displays multiple blue counties won by Hillary Clinton as red counties won by Trump. The Trumps seemingly did not produce this map themselves – it appears it was published in 2016 on HuffPost, a website usually critical of the President. The words “Try to impeach this” were plastered across the middle. The map purported to show county-by-county results map of the 2016 election, filled with red for counties Trump supposedly won. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted a map his daughter-in-law Lara Trump had shared on Saturday. ![]() Keep looking, and, eventually, you’ll find the perfect home. If not, this is a good sign that they’re not a person you want to rent from anyway. Most landlords simply want a reliable tenant and are willing to accommodate simple requests. This should include the modifications that are needed, who will pay for them, how soon they will be completed, and who is responsible for any future maintenance or repairs that may come up. Whatever agreement you come to, make sure this is laid out in the lease or rental agreement. They may agree to pay for the updates, or, at a minimum allow you to make the updates on your own. Sometimes, if you find an apartment you really like, you can work with the landlord to get the modifications you need. Often, you’ll have good luck working with a real estate agent who can help you find the perfect apartment or rental. You can also check certain publications like (for New York),, or. However, you’ll have to sort through a lot of inadequate apartments before you find the right one. You can start your search by looking through classified ads or apartment websites just as you would any other type of apartment. ![]() There should also be access aisles and curb cutouts. Note that your parking spot should be in addition to the general ADA parking that the apartment complex is required to have for other visitors. You’ll want to make sure that you’ll have a designated parking space that’s in close proximity to the entrance of your apartment and positioned appropriately so you can easily get in and out of your wheelchair van or vehicle. The bedroom will also be more accessible if it has adjustable hanger rods and shelves that are easy to reach from a wheelchair. BedroomsĪccording to the ADA, bedrooms should have enough room for a bed with an additional five feet by five feet of room to allow for comfortable maneuverability from a wheelchair. There should also be a light switch at the entrance to the living room, and, like all light switches in the home, it should be easy to reach from a seated position. The living room shouldn’t have a door in the entryway, and if there’s a threshold, it should be less than a quarter-inch high or have a subtle ramp. It’s also great if the countertop has rounded corners as this will make the apartment even safer and more comfortable. The cooktop and sink should both also have knee space underneath. What is important is that the kitchen has plenty of continuous countertops set at the appropriate level and that they’re flush with the cooktop or stove. While this is definitely a bonus, you don’t necessarily have to exclude an apartment based on solely the floorplan. If you want ultimate accessibility, look for kitchens in a “U” or “L” shape. The bathroom door should open outward (this gives you more bathroom space to maneuver) and should be at least 34 inches wide.Īlso, make sure there is enough room alongside the toilet and bathtub so you can comfortably maneuver around. ![]() If you happen to find a multi-floor apartment, you’ll want to make sure at least one bathroom is on the bottom floor. Any light switches in the hallway should also be at an accessible level. You’ll want the hallways to be at least four feet wide and have either non-slip flooring (like hardwood, embossed sheet vinyl, or certain ceramic tiles) or well-secured thin carpet. Whether you’re working with an agent or you’re exploring apartments on your own, there are some design specifics you’ll want to look for. Other Important Features of Handicap Apartments If you’re looking for an apartment for yourself or a loved one, you’ll want to confirm a few additional details. While this is a great start, it’s pretty vague.
In order to keep our costs down and offer greatly reduced prices, ADHME does not bill any insurance company. But sometimes you may find that our advertised price is already lower than theirs!

I’ll never forget I was 3 drinks in at the local gay bar a few summers ago when I needed to use the bathroom. These forms of degradation aren’t just in the bedroom either. This can go further and spill (no pun intended) into other types of kinks like water sports. Such as, for example, licking a shoe, the floor or something else. ![]() With the humiliation kink, sometimes the submissive partner may be “punished” for not doing something up to their dom’s satisfaction. Some people love to be shamed verbally like that, it gets them off to be viewed as “lesser than” by someone “better” than them in their wearing the JJ Classic BriefsĢ. Remember in Euphoria when Kat gets paid to make fun of men’s penis sizes on Skype? (Girl boss energy, c’mon SHE-E-O). On the other end - some individuals like to be shamed. like what Kim Richards called Brandi Glanville in Season 2 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: slut pig! Now that’s some kinky shit.
