5890. PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Northlight School from a moving car using AV Mode.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Northlight School from a moving car using AV Mode.

Better to use TV Mode, but I had no time to change. When the car is moving, using AV Mode usually results in blurry images. I was fortunate as one of two images was sharper.

This example shows that the best angle of the signboard of Northlight school is from the car's windscreen as it moves by.

I still need to use Photoshop to sharpen the "Northlight" sign which may not be necessary if I had the time to switch TV Mode.

The car windscreen must be clean and not reflecting tissue box or glasses on its dashboard.

GOOGLE REVIEW: 5-stars

 19 May 2024: I visited the Central Public Library for the 3rd time since its overhaul and re-opening around Jan 2024. It is now an attractive place for book lovers owing to its interior design, lighting and stock of a variety of books as compared to the previous setting. I see more people reading books on the comfortable seats. The Children's section is spacious. I attended a meet-up of storytelling by Seniors. This is the Library I will like to visit at least once weekly if possible. I usually visit Bishan Public Library which looks dated as contrasted to this new kid on the block. A good overhaul. I attach a photo to show what I mean by an "attractive place" for book lovers.

 8 years had passed by so quickly for me. The river boats transport goods and construction materials up and down river. I had a zoom lens, otherwise hard to get this shot.

5882. CARE OF YOUR FEET - Foot problems - corns and calluses

 22 May 2024: Vesak Day.
Ref: Straits Times Life 22 May 2022. C1

Hardened skin can cause pain affecting the way one walks and may lead to more serious conditions such as ulcers below the skin. 

 

Bunions - bony lumps at the baser of the big toes, around big and smallest toes and heels. 

Calluses - Hardened skin forms due to increased pressure on parts of the feet such as around the bones of the feet or base of the big toe.

Corns - develop due to damage or irritants to the outer layers of the skin. They usually have a central core surrounded by hardened skin. 

CAUSES OF CALLUSES AND CORNS
1. Constantly wearing ill-fitting shoes
2. Foot deformities like bunions
3. Thinning of the fat pad at the ball or heel of the foot 
4. Diseases such as viral warts or fungal infections or psoriasis.
5. Medical conditions that affect sensation beneath their feet such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy

UNTREATED:
1. Bleeding and ulceration due to tissue breakdown beneath the callus.
2. Infections spread to the bone and other parts of the foot requiring amputation to save their lives and salvage the rest of the limb.

PODIATRY TREATMENT
1. Debridement - removal of the thickened skin lesions using a sterile scalpel blade.
2. Custom insoles in shoes. These increase surface contact with the feet and redistribute pressure, preventing occurrence of corns and calluses which inteferes with your gait.

Early detection of ulcers under the callus and regular podiatry treatment can save limbs.

PREVENTION
1. Regular pedicures. A professional scraps the hard skin off the feet.
2. Soaking the feet softens but does not remove the hard skin.
3. Scrubbing the feet with pumice stones and foot files to remove the hard skin for a while but causes must be addressed e.g. changing footwear and using custom insoles.
4. Wearing slippers at home can help cushion the feet and prevent calluses.
5. Choose the right footwear that provide adequate support and cushioning, with enough room for the toes to move freely. Advised to inspect your used footwear for depressions on the insole or interior of the shoe. Depressions indicate areas of increased pressure exerted on the feet.

Opt for a shock-absorbent outsole in your footwear or a wider toe box or an ankle strap.

6. Maintain food foot hygiene to prevent bacterial or fungal infections. Moisturise dry areas of the feet.
7. Check your feet daily or enlist the help of a friend or family member if necessary.
