cartoon refers to conservative Christian media mogul and ‘Televangelist’ ‘Pat’ Robertson, famous for comments such as .. “The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.”
On-screen navigation buttons offer many distinct advantages over physical buttons—they can change orientation along with your device, they’re capable of visually morphing to indicate secondary functionality, and the user experience is more consistent when buttons and app elements require the same amount of force to press. Add to that the fact that they’re far less likely to fail and can be themed or even switched out altogether, and it’s hard to come up with an argument in favor of physical buttons at all.
Really, the lone knock against on-screen buttons is that they occupy precious screen… more

I just KNEW it was going to be an epic sunset with incredible light after the DV guru David “Breezy” Thompson tormented me with a snap of the sunrise I’d missed. Usually The Breeze goes out with me on my Vegas trips, and I sorely missed his company. True to form, however, he hooked me up with several great options for locations and fed me weather intel all afternoon. There is simply no substitute for good friends…. especially when the guy shoots like a pro and knows where to send you given the changing weather. Huge thanks for the location ideas my friend.
At any rate, I was wrong about the light. Shocker. I’m always wrong about the light. You’d think a pilot would know what the weather is doing, right?? I’ll let you in on a little secret… the standard joke in flight operations is “don’t bother checking the weather because you’re going anyway.” Kidding of course; sort of. We DO check the weather. But we ARE going anyway. So dead light or not, I was charging back and forth around Death Valley trying to find a hole on the horizon that the light might peek through at the last second. Breezy was feeding me satellite images, and I finally realized it just wasn’t going to happen that particular day.
And then it started to rain. Hard. In Death Valley. The forecast had been for partly cloudy skies all day. The weatherman had nailed it. *smirk*
The rain built in intensity, the wind picked up, and the whole valley started to look like a giant bruise – all black and blue. Between waves of rain, some ominous clouds would appear, so I figured it was worth at least pulling the camera out of the bag. And then the storm hit. Full force. The excitement started to flow, and the adrenaline was pumping. It was just me and mother nature facing off. She was laughing because I forgot my freaking lens hood. I found this rude, and vowed not to be deterred. And then the light bulb went on. I’ll confess it was the dim bulb… the 40W. I’ve never been a 100W kind of guy – ask around. Storm. Salt flats (operative word, FLATS). Metal camera. 6’5″. Hmmmmmm…. The math didn’t add up well. Bravely, I sprinted back to the car. Photograph by MilesMorganPhotography MilesMorganPhotography.

Getting caught using your iPhone at school or work (when you’re using it for personal reasons) can be a little bit embarrassing. Even worse, it can be detrimental to how you’re perceived by your teacher or boss. But sometimes you just have to beat that next level of Candy Crush, view a risqué photo on Snapchat, or send an important WhatsApp message.
To save yourself some embarrassment, I’m going to show you how to interact with your iOS display using your computer, which is different than simply mirroring it as you can with apps like AllCast and Reflector. Of course, this will only work if… more
There’s nothing worse than the feeling of being tired but not being able to do anything about it. Sure you could take caffeine pills or drink as much coffee as you possibly can, but this can leave you feeling even worse once the effects wear off.
So what can you do?
There are some natural ways to shake off the sleepy feeling, including:
1. Exercise
Ok, it sounds daft we know. The last thing anyone wants to do when they feel sleepy is drop to the floor and do push ups, but it works! Exercise helps to release endorphins and creates adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine that help to ensure that your brain stays alert.
Granted you can’t always go for a quick run when you’re feeling tired, but you should be able to get up, stretch your legs and walk around for a little bit. Even a quick three minute walk will help you to rouse yourself out of a laggy, sleepy feeling.
2 Avoid Caffeine
It sounds like we are doing something that will make you more tired, but actually caffeine can have a very negative affect on your body. By drinking coffee in the morning and throughout the day you may be getting a temporary fix from the stimulant, but by the afternoon the effects will have worn off, leaving you more irritable and tired.
3. Keep Hydrated
Many people feel tired as the result of not drinking enough water. This creates fatigue both mentally and physically and can be extremely dangerous if not checked. Make sure that you are taking on around 2 litres of water a day, especially when you begin to feel the effects of fatigue. It doesn’t have to strictly be water; you could try fruit juice, squash or even herbal tea.
4. Glucose
Glucose is a natural sugar that your body produces to give yourself that extra kick throughout the day. There are many foods that you can eat in order to get this sugar; alternatively you could try glucose tablets. Again, these are produced using natural ingredients and can be a great way of getting a quick boost without any after effects like you would receive with caffeine. Glucose comes in chewable tablets, drinks and gels, making it a good solution for many different applications.
5. Eat Right
If you aren’t getting the right nutrition then your body isn’t going to work to its full potential. Try to cut out the fatty foods and high sugar snacks and opt for healthier alternatives. Don’t feel as though you are too busy to eat either, skipping meals can cause low blood sugar which brings on fatigue. While stopping to cook dinner may take up your time, being well fed will help you work better and should save you time in the long run.
6. Resting
Are you sleeping properly? Chances are, if you are regularly tired then your sleeping habits aren’t very good. Try to make sure you are getting 6 to 8 hours sleep every night and aren’t being frequently disturbed while in slumber. Not being able to go into a deep sleep during the nights can seriously affect your mental ability throughout the day. Try to make changes to your sleeping pattern in order to get to bed by a certain time to see if this helps.
