 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS. An old Xiaomi smartphone takes excellent photos of jacaranda flowers in Sydney. 

 

 


My primary school classmate in Sydney sent this photo using an old Xiaomi phone 📞 as he does not believe in upgrading. After nearly a hundred photos to me, he is now producing much better quality photos


4950. Photography tips: Dragonflies. Use TV or AV Mode.

 
 
Many dragonfly photos on websites are blurry as the original image is degraded on the computer screen.
Above dragonfly image is actually sharp, but you need to download from www.shutterstock.com/g/toapayohvets

 PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Dragonflies. Use TV or AV.

4 Nov 2023, 9.13 am. Public garden of Hampton by Hilton hotel, Hainan, China.
A better camera which focuses on the eye of the dragonfly. Canon R5, Handheld, ISO 640, 81MM, F/4.0, 1/2000 sec.  I used TV because some dragonflies don't stay perched for long. Take multiple shots as not all will be sharp.

 CHINA - 4 NOV 2023: 9.13am. Hainan. Public garden of Hampton by Hilton Hotel. The male and female Variegated Green Skimmer (Orthetrum sabina) has the same appearance - pale greenish with white markings on its abdomen. It preys on other dragonflies. A strong and fast flyer. 

The Variegated Green Skimmer is a strong and fast flyer. It preys on other dragonflies. One of more ferocious dragonflies. Seen in Hainan's Hampton by Hilton Hotel public garden after breakfast. Many of my fellow travellers probably rest in the lounge area after breakfast.

Canon R5. Tripod. AV. 1/100 sec, f/11, ISO 100.

 

The converging lines of the grid tell the young people that they have a lot of time to waste or to acquire skills and wealth (bottom of grid) and to neglect their health!
What does it tell the elderly?

4229. HEALTHCARE. ActiGraft use in healing the wound of two amputated toes of a 75-year-old man.

 4229. HEALTHCARE. ActiGraft use in healing the wound of the stump of foot after two amputated toes were removed in a 75-year-old man.

24 Oct 2023. I visited 75-year-old man in Ward 1, Bed 125 of Thye Hua Kwan Hospital today. He was in a room with 7 other rehabilitating men, mostly diabetics. His gangrenous toe (middle) was amputated in Tan Tock Seng Hospital 2 weeks ago.

The wound of the stump will take at least 4 months to heal, with the usual dressing and suction of the debris of the wound. The doctor recommended ActiGraft. One box costs S$400 and he had used 3 boxes.
So far, he is on the 3rd box. I will update later as it is too early to know whether ActiGraft will lead to healing of the diabetic stump earlier than 4 months (one patient in similar situation had told him). 

I have uploaded the unedited videos for those who are interested in this ActiGraft healing of the wound.

As this man lives alone in his HDB one-room flat, I advised him to get a live-in domestic migrant worker to help him to exercise and cook.

Also he had to phone another 3 maid agencies himself to get the quotations rather than leaving it to his sister who had recommended one agency dealing with Myanmar maids and would want a $5,000 deposit from him. He preferred to live independently, but he lives alone and it is best to get some help for the first year or two.


--------------

How ActiGraft Pro® System Works

Derived from your patient’s own blood, the ActiGraft Pro® whole blood clot is embedded with essential wound healing elements such as red blood cells, macrophages, platelets, proteins, clotting factors, minerals, electrolytes and dissolved gasses, bound within a natural fibrin scaffold. Once applied to the wound site, ActiGraft Pro reactivates the body’s natural healing cascade and serves as a protective covering that supports the body’s healing process, accelerating your patient’s road to recovery.
