Lighthouse for Helping People with Disabilities – Sign 4

When I read “Lighthouse Louisiana,” my first thought that this is must be a kind of institution or organization to:

- take care or maintain lighthouses

- fix old lighthouses

- do any works relate to lighthouses around the beaches or isolated places.

Fig 01- Lighthouse Louisiana.

Then, I search through internet, in fact that Lighthouse Louisiana is a non profit organization to empower disabilities people by:

- services

- employment

- advocacy

Lighthouse Louisiana “help fund service to people” include in the categories of:

- blind

- deaf

- other disabilities.

I think this organization has done very impressive works for community such as:

- to create jobs for blind people

- provide 6,000 services for disabilities people annually.

Interestingly, Lighthouse has own clinic which specialize in low vision.

If eye doctors can’t do the patient’s eyes, then the clinic can help by:

- cope the problems with vision

- maximize low or remaining vision

The low vision therapists may provide training to use of:

- magnification

- visual aids

- adaptation.

Finally, I believe that your areas or cities or countries have this kind of non profit organization.

A Little dog on the Street – Critters 2

 We have routine jogging or walking either in the morning or afternoon, depend very much on weather.

We saw this little cute “critter” recently at our neighborhood.

Fig 01- She just crossing the street.

It seemed lost. Unfortunately, she has no a pet collar. As you know that a collar is important for dogs.

A collar may contain crucial information such as:

- identification

- address

- owner cell phone number sometimes

- or other information concerning dogs

Fig 02- She stares at anyone

Fig 03- The little dog runs away

Fig 04- She plays a plastic

Since no collar or information tag, we don’t know the owner of the dog to be contacted.

Unfortunately! Hope this buddy will be OK.

In addition to contain crucial information, a collar could be guiding of dog movement.

Other positive things for by wearing a collar:

- dogs feel comfortable than distress

- secure

Now days, there is a collar with a remote control and an electronic receiver to stop a dog from too much barking.

The Local Honey in the Farmer Market – Part 1 – Food Variety 17

 We just visit farmer market, there were plenty of local honey on the shelves. I don’t know when they harvest this “healthy food.”

However, as a southern state, temperature getting warmer currently, could get above 20* C at mid-day.

Fig 01- Local honey in farmer market

As esxpected, a hot season is busy time for bees for secretion sweeter substances from flower then to produce honey.

At least there are four region as well known areas of honey bee production in Louisiana:

- Baton Rouge

- Northern Louisiana’s

- New Orleans and nearby areas

- Southwestern Louisiana

Fig 02- Just for illustration

Fig 03- Flowers of this wild plant could be source of nectar for bees

We might know that honey is healthy foods due to its contain combinations of mineral, vitamins, enzymes and anti-oxidants.

Surprising facts for me that there are 4 different terms of honey sold in the farmer market:

- processed

- natural

- pure

- raw

Fig 01- Green turtle as one of endangered species.

Sex ratio of turtle when eggs put in incubator with varies temperatures are following:

- at C 28.5 (F 83.3) degree will produce equally males and females broods.

- above C 30 (F 86) degree produces all females hatchlings

- below C 25 (F 77) degrees produce all males turtle babies.

Then, why temperature become warmer in the sand of the Great Barrier Reef beaches?

Fig 02- Old tower, illustration

Fig 03- Box turtle in the hand

Many scientists have concluded that “climates changes” which relate to increasing of temperature responsible to more females in Great Barrier Reef turtle broods.

In short term, in order to get equal or natural sex ratio of marine turtles, then scientists design:

- lower nest temperatures

- optimal nest temperatures

The resutls are promising. Moreover, hope, world could handle the climate changes in near future.

By configuration file, we have several following advantages:

- web easily accessed

- shorter time to access

- built-in validation mechanisms for both the schema and the form

- and XML in the configuration becomes much more intelligible.

However, there is no the best way to implement cache strategy, so there is possibility to set up catching by mistake.

 Fig 02- Mask, for illustration only

Fig 03- Garage sales at neighborhood, illustration

Fig 04- Felled trees by David Hockney

The wrong set up means browser not able to validate the cached content. Another possibility that page could load wrong content.

In case of hacking the caching server, all users will get negative impacts on their computers.

Several other disadvantages:

- more expensive

- data are stored temporarily

- store capacity not that much

- less proxy updating

- data may loss due to shutdown of computer
