Take advantage of workshops or travel where little or no light pollution is present.. Lloyd Kahn first tried skateboarding at 65. He stood up on a board, fell immediately, and hurt his hand. From that experience, he concluded that he should wear full protective gear: knee pads, elbow pads, a helmet. Lloyd, who is now 79 years old, said: “I don’t do any special tricks. I don’t ride like the teenagers. I try not to go too fast, so that I could always jump off and land on my feet.”. Presented by . Jean Fecteau , Fiscal Analyst. Ginell Rogers, MPA , Fiscal Analyst.

For most law students, understanding the meaning of even the most simple of legal concepts results in confusion, frustration, and even failure. Law students are smart, but unfamiliar with the terminology and reasoning of the law, as well as the framework of how each subject fits into a broader legal framework. Law schools operate on an inductive basis, while most students rely on informal, deductive learning. This book bridges the gab between the two. Further, it instructs law students how to learn the law on a deeper level of understanding - but with less unproductive and even wasted effort. In short: how to learn the law in less time and with better retention, comprehension, and genuine understanding. This is the essential reference for the complete medical school experience, by a professional medical educator who wants students of the future to set a new standard for 21st century doctoring. After reading Med School Rx, prospective students will understand what the admissions committees, professors, examiners and educators that stand between them and an MD are looking for, what they expect of them as future physicians, and how they can get the most out of the programs they offer.Med School Rx also demystifies the intense learning curve of medical science and national board exams. Students are paying enormous tuition not just for more education, but for powerful career training. This book explains how students can mold their medical school education into myriad possibilities and do not have to follow the traditional path. Digital SLR cameras have made it easier than ever before to photograph the night sky. Whether you\'re a beginner, nature photographer, or serious astronomer, this is the definitive handbook to capturing the heavens. Starting with simple projects for beginners such as cameras on tripods, it then moves onto more advanced projects including telescope photography and methods of astronomical research. With 80% revised and updated material, this new edition covers nightscapes, eclipses, using cameras with sky trackers and telescopes, and tools for identifying celestial objects and investigating them scientifically. Image processing is discussed in detail, with worked examples from three popular software packages - Nebulosity, Maxlm DL, and PixInsight. Rather than taking a recipe-book approach, Covington explains how your equipment works as well as offering advice on many practical considerations, such as choice of set-up and the testing of lenses, making this a comprehensive guide for anyone involved in astrophotography.
