I Become A Dad!by Sénor Longo. Listen to the  ► Podcast at Connected.I drove south until I was able to get onto I-78, following that through Jersey City to the New Jersey Turnpike. We moved along at a steady pace and fairly quickly due no small degree to the E-Z Pass I'd kept after moving from New York to North Carolina. We didn't have to stop to get a ticket or to pay at the southern terminus of the Turnpike, nor did we have to stop in the long lines at either the Delaware Memorial Bridge or at one of the toll booths on I-95 in Delaware.Our first stop was about two hours after leaving, around 11:20, at the last rest stop on the Turnpike. I needed to put Lady out for a walk and Jenny and I needed a bathroom break, too. By now we had our routine down pat. Jenny walked into the restroom while I took Lady onto the lawn. I had already poured water into her bowl on the sidewalk when Jenny reappeared with unwanted attention from a guy who looked to be in his late thirties. Twice I saw Jenny try to walk away from him and twice he grabbed her arm to stop her. Bad move; Lady also saw him. I let go of her leash and she was bounding down the walkway less than a second later.Lady stopped when she reached Jenny, but even 100 feet away I could see her anger at his touching her mistress. The hair on the back of her neck was up and I could see other travelers back away cautiously. Jenny calmly took Lady's leash and it was clear to all that Lady was only a second away from taking down Jenny's admirer. She was in attack mode; rear legs bent and ready to spring, fangs bared; a low guttural growl coming from her throat. Only her rigid discipline and training saved that man's life. I could see Jenny explaining that to the man as she turned away, leading Lady back to me.“Thanks, darling; he was making a real ass of himself. He stopped me on my way in and ignored my telling him that I was a very happily married woman. I couldn't believe that he was still there when I walked out of the ladies' room. What on earth did he possibly think; that I'd jump into a car with a total stranger for a quickie? Eew! Thank you, too, Lady,” she said as she ruffled Lady's ears.I left to use the facilities, and on the way some guy told me that I had a dangerous dog. “Yes and no,” I replied. “She's a danger to anyone who tries to hurt either my wife or me, but she's extremely well trained. That man was a fool, but he was in no real danger unless he put his hand on my wife again. Neither my dog nor I would have accepted that a third time.” I turned away to enter the building. We stopped for gas before continuing. Gas prices in New Jersey are relatively low and there's always an attendant to man the pump and wash your windshield. Jersey was the only place I knew of where that was the norm. We stopped again around one that afternoon for a quick lunch and again around four before stopping for the night around 6:30. For the first time since getting Lady I had trouble with the motel's registration. The clerk absolutely refused to allow us to register with Lady. “Have you ever heard of the ADA; the Americans with Disabilities Act,” I asked. “That's why you have ramps and bathrooms that are handicapped accessible. Part of the federal law covers service dogs like Lady or dogs for the blind. You'd better check with your manager or owner. I'd hate to have to sue you for being turned away.”He did phone the owner and from the little I heard he wasn't too happy about what he was told. He tried repeatedly to argue his point, but apparently got nowhere.Eventually, he hung up the phone and reluctantly told us, “I've been advised to apologize and offer the room on the house.” Instead, Jenny and I said, “No thanks,” turned away and walked out. We stayed instead at a Best Western just down the road. Not a word was said about our service dog.This trip would normally take about ten hours. With Lady, I figured about twelve because of all the extra stops we had to make. That was why Jenny and I had driven almost eight hours that first day. We wanted to get home by noon so we could hit the supermarket. Other than the occasional can and a jar of peanut butter, there was nothing much in the house to eat.That's almost exactly what happened. We turned into the driveway at 11:43, remembering just in time to press the remote for the gate. I doubted that either of us was as happy as Lady. She ran around the back yard and in and out of the garage aimlessly until Jenny and I had removed everything from the SUV. I had to admit that the BMW was a good investment. It rode well and got great gas mileage, even if it needed premium fuel. Jenny told me that both her car and mine were twin-turbocharged, whatever the hell that means. I know a lot about computers, but almost nothing about cars.We shopped most of the afternoon, spending hundreds to fill our refrigerator and pantry. Once we were done Jenny insisted we go to the range. I threw the clubs into my trunk and Lady climbed into the rear seat. The first time we'd taken her she raced out onto the range the instant I hit, thinking apparently that this was a game; some kind of fetch. Today she simply sat by our clubs watching and protecting us from the occasional vicious squirrel.That night after grilling a thick steak that we ate with a salad I retreated to my study. There was something I needed to check on. I had a program that, when opened, showed a screen of text; not words or sentences, but line after line of random letters and symbols. When a certain password is entered the text dissolves leaving a series of email addresses and their corresponding passwords. Why go through all of this, you ask? Because as I mentioned earlier I've had some shady clients; clients on the wrong side of the law; and I can't afford to be caught communicating with them. Once you go online you should always assume that everything you do is public and subject to scrutiny from the government or anyone else who might be interested.Sitting at my keyboard I accessed my home page on the internet. From there I typed in the URL for the University of Chicago and from there a university in New Zealand. Most universities have decent security, but anyone like me can get through it without too much difficulty. Should anyone inquire it would appear as though someone in the University of Chicago library had hacked into the University of Auckland. From there it was safe to access the email I'd used to contact the motorcycle gang.There was a message and several photos I thought Jenny would find interesting. I had no idea how they had managed to get a camera inside a state prison and I wasn't about to ask, but here in all his glory was a severely beaten former sheriff from Waterloo, Iowa. I was laughing so hard as I called Jenny that I could barely get her name out.She came in wondering what was going on so I explained then I showed the photos of her stepfather with his two black eyes, bandage on his forehead, and his arm in a cast, bandages wrapped tightly around his torso; a sure sign of bruised or broken ribs. She took one look and joined me in laughter. “This was you, wasn't it? Some friends or contacts you have?”“I cannot tell a lie, but I do plead the fifth; a person does not have to testify if his answer might incriminate him.”She leaned down to kiss me then whispered, “Thanks.” Then she kissed me again. I scrolled down the screen to read the text again; “What a complete fucktard this asshole is. He thinks he is still a hot shit, trying to boss everyone around. He has pissed off all the prisoners who have met him and more than half the guards. He'll be lucky to live out his sentence. Doubt he will. Thanks for the upgrade. It's working great. A friend” After deleting the message I went to join my beautiful wife on the deck.Jenny and I spent the next three weeks having fun; going to Bird Island on the southern end of Sunset Beach in the boat with Lady, or playing golf, or going to the beach. The only other thing we did was prepare for our visitors. There were no direct flights to either Myrtle Beach or to Wilmington, North Carolina, roughly fifty miles north of us so I phoned Executive Jet to make the arrangements once I had checked with Toni for dates and times. I insisted that the attendant be a woman to make the girls more comfortable. Take-off was scheduled for 9:00 Saturday morning so Toni and Charlie had their daughters at the Newark Airport General Aviation terminal at 8:20, giving them plenty of time to meet the captain and crew and double-check the arrangements before departure. Two hours later they were safely in Myrtle Beach, riding in Jenny's SUV with Lady seated between them and they were talking nonstop. I grinned toward Jenny, but she was into the conversation as much as the girls.They ran into the house and up the stairs to the bonus room closely followed by Lady. She jumped and capered, playfully nipping at their feet, as they put their clothes into the dresser and closet. I couldn't help but laugh. This was going to be some visit!I grilled hot dogs for lunch and then we took them to Bird Island in the boat. We liked Bird Island for several reasons. First, we could take Lady, even in the summer. She loved the beach and often scampered in the waves with us. Dogs were restricted from the town beach between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Also, Bird Island was on the Little River Inlet so we had a choice of the waves in the ocean or the calm water where we and others parked our boats. Bird Island had ceased to be an actual island decades ago when the narrow inlet between it and Sunset Beach had silted in. Still, it was more than a mile from the nearest road so it was virtually deserted even on the busiest weekend. The only practical way to get here was by boat. We'd brought the Blasi's here on their first visit and they loved it as much as we did.Lady raced back and forth when I pulled her Frisbee from the beach bag. The many holes from her teeth showed clearly how much she enjoyed playing with it. I reminded Andrea and Allison about the heat and Lady's need to rest and drink then sent them off to the ocean side which was completely deserted while Jenny and I set up our umbrella and beach chairs.Jenny was five months into her pregnancy so her baby bump was obvious. She'd bought a new swimsuit, telling me how much she hated seeing women's bare abdomens when obviously pregnant. “Some things should be private, don't you think?”I'd never given the idea much thought, but I could understand her reasoning. Some things should be private.The girls and Lady returned after about a half hour. They hadn't been in the ocean; not yet; because our rule was not to swim unless one of the adults was present. I'd red and heard of many idiotic things done by people at the beach. One of my roommates at Harvard had worked as a lifeguard at a state park near my home. I cringed at the stories he'd told me; how parents endangered their own children through things they'd never consider doing at home.We sat under the umbrella enjoying a Coke from the cooler and some fresh sliced veggies with a cup of ranch dressing. We dug in, eating and laughing until we'd had our fill. We went for a swim, staying fairly close to the shore. There was a lot of boat traffic farther out in the channel, some of it involving fairly big ships, so there was danger in swimming out too far. We all jumped into the water at the same time; all of us, except Lady. Dogs can swim, but they tire quickly. The dog paddle is a very inefficient stroke, using a lot of energy to go nowhere. Jenny had red of several dogs drowning at one of the local beaches. I always forced Lady to “stay” under the umbrella. Yes, dogs can get sunburned, too. We picked up our mess around four for the twenty minute trip home. I had the boat on the hydraulic lift, washing it carefully while Jenny and the girls carried the umbrella, chairs, and beach bag up to the house. I followed a few minutes later, carrying the cooler. We were ready to go out for dinner by 5:15, driving into Calabash for pizza.We were back about ninety minutes later and I fed Lady, noticing how quiet things were in the living room. “Everything okay in here,” I asked.“Jenny, could we ask you something? It's kind of personal.”“Okay, Andrea; go ahead.”“Mom told us that you ran away from home.”“That's right; did she tell you why?” Andrea shook her head “no.” “You're so lucky to have wonderful loving parents. You should thank God for them every day. I had a wonderful father, but he died in an industrial accident when I was ten. My mother remarried almost two years later. She wasn't married even a month when my stepfather; the county sheriff; made his first nighttime trip to my bedroom. I screamed the entire time he raped me, but my mother ignored me. I screamed every time he did it; two to three times a week; for the next five years. I hated that man; I still do. I hated him so much that I ran away when I had the chance. Anything was better than having to lie under his fat sweaty body almost every other day. I knew that I'd have to have sex with some of the men who picked me up, but most of them were nice decent people who just wanted to help me.“I had sex with lots of other men, but I've only made love with Doug. Do you understand the difference?”“I think so,” Allison said. “Dumb animals can have sex, but they don't make love.”“That's true,” Jenny told them. “For me; I would lie down and allow men to use my body, but I was somewhere else. I never had an orgasm and I didn't want one. With Doug I'm always an active participant because I love him. I want it to be good for him just as he wants it to be good for me. Are you guys ready for Monday at the doctor?”“Oh yeah, Jenny; we're looking forward to it,” Andrea replied eagerly. Jenny had realized that she had an appointment for a sonogram scheduled for the week they would visit. She presented three options to Toni: cancel the appointment; take them, but leave them in the waiting room; or take them in to experience the test with us. I wasn't surprised when Charlie and Toni said they'd accept whatever we wanted to do, but thought that seeing a real sonogram would be an excellent and interesting learning experience for their daughters. Jenny and I agreed. Monday would be the day; a big day for all of us.Sunday morning Jenny and I drove them to church and then to brunch at a nice restaurant in Myrtle Beach. We spent the afternoon at Farmstead hitting balls and practicing our putting. Andrea did quite well, especially considering that they didn't have their own clubs and hadn't practiced since their last visit. Allison, however, smoked the ball. “Gee Allison,” her sister commented, “watching you makes me wonder if Daddy is really your father.” Allison howled in laughter then she went to the putting green and smoked everything under eight feet. Jenny and I must have given her a dozen high fives and even more knuckle bumps.Everyone seemed more than a bit nervous at breakfast the following morning. We were in my car before any of us had even spoken. It was Allison who broke the ice. “I bet you're hoping for a boy, Doug.”After laughing, Jenny replied for me. “You'd lose that bet, Allison. Doug wants a girl.”“That's right,” I joined in. “Girls tend to stay close to their families even after getting married although Jenny is an obvious exception. Boys don't generally have much choice because their wives have made it for them, just like almost every other decision.”Jenny laughed and the girls joined her. Then Jenny ended the conversation with, “And don't you forget it!”“Yes, boss!” Jenny giggled then leaned across the console to kiss my cheek. Thirtyminutes later we were in Dr. Cullen's office, sitting nervously until we were called then I thought the nurse would have a cow. I guess she'd never had such a crowd follow her into the exam room.Jenny was handed a gown and pointed toward the restroom. “You've got to be kidding,” she told the nurse. “Why would I want to hide a body like this?” She took off her top and bra and pulled the gown over her arms. I tied a bow behind her neck, but left the other undone as Jenny removed her shorts and lay on the exam table.She was there about fifteen minutes when Dr. Cullen entered with a smile. “I heard this was going to be a theatrical production.” I introduced Andrea and Allison and Dr. Cullen told them where they should stand in order to get the best view. She rubbed some gel on Jenny's abdomen and asked what we were hoping for.“Doug wants a girl,” Allison blurted.“How much do you girls know about sonograms?”“We went online to Google when our mom told us about being here for Jenny's test,” Andrea replied.“Yeah, we must have red six or seven articles about it,” Allison added.“And I bet we looked at four or five videos,” Andrea added. I just laughed; Jenny smiled. We loved their enthusiasm.“Well then, can you tell me what we should look for to determine the sex?”Allison giggled, but Andrea came straight out and answered, “A penis, but sometimes the umbilical cord gets in the way or is confused for a penis.” Dr. Cullen joined Jenny and me in laughing, but did ask if the girls were looking for work. “I'm hiring; I'd bet you know more than most of my staff.”Then Dr. Cullen got down to business. She applied the sensor to Jenny's skin, rubbing it into the gel, and all of us paid the closest attention. We could see the baby's body and head. The umbilical was obvious, but we never did see a penis. “Well, girls, what's the sex?”“It's a girl,” they shouted together.“Another correct diagnosis; are you sure you've never done this before?” We shared a laugh then Dr. Cullen checked Jenny's lungs and heartbeat, reviewed her diet and exercise regimens and told us things couldn't be better. We were out the door five minutes later, laughing and hugging each other before I treated to lunch.We encouraged the girls to call home every day and they did, usually around 5:15 so their dad would be home from work. Every day after they'd spoken Charlie would ask to speak with me and he'd ask how his daughters were behaving. Every day I'd give him the same answer; the way I'd want my daughters to behave. Today's conversation was more elated yelling and screaming than anything else. Andrea began with, ”IT'S A GIRL, MOM! A GIRL!! WE SAW HER INSIDE JENNY. IT WAS INCREDIBLE.” Then Allison added that I had wanted a girl and the yelling started anew.Once they had calmed down Charlie took the phone for his daily question. “Excited,” I replied, “and a bit noisy today, but that's to be expected. It's been an exciting day.” I ended the call and drove everyone down to Myrtle Beach to Captain George's, an excellent seafood buffet where the food was almost as good as in a high end sit-down restaurant.We spent the rest of their visit either at the beach or on the golf course or shopping for baby clothes and accessories. We were actually sorry to see them leave on Sunday; the day before Labor Day. We went shopping in earnest for furniture that week. One of the things we decided was that we wanted to buy a quality set that would last through her entire childhood. We decided on a dresser and crib with a matching twin headboard and desk (can't plan too far ahead if you're a nerd) in a washed blonde maple finish. We'd put the headboard and desk away for now in an air-conditioned storage facility about two miles away until it was needed.The rest of Jenny's pregnancy was uneventful, but she pouted something awful when Dr. Cullen told her to stop penetrative sex in her seventh month. “Don't worry, Jen; I can still take care of you with my mouth and fingers.”My Jenny kissed me then led me to

This special programme is dedicated to the team of scientists and support staff isolated at British research stations in the Antarctic midwinter. For the staff living at three British Antarctic Survey research stations (Rothera, Bird Island and South Georgia), and at other national bases across the frozen continent, midwinter is a special time. With no sunlight, Antarctica is at its coldest and those stationed on the frozen continent face months of total isolation. Midwinter celebrations at the British research stations include a feast, exchange of presents, watching the 1982 horror film The Thing (where an alien monster terrorises an Antarctic base) and listening - on short wave - to the BBC's Midwinter Broadcast. Presenter Cerys Matthews features messages from family and friends at home, as well as music requests from Antarctica.

Fear that the highly infectious variant of avian influenza, H5N1, would reach the Antarctic region and put isolated bird populations at risk has finally come to fruition as the first birds on Bird Island in the Atlantic Ocean have come down with the devastating illness. Science manager of the island, Ashley Bennison, explains the situation. Then, from one extreme climate to another - mummified mice have been found on the summit of volcanoes across the Andes, raising questions as to the capacity for vertebrates to survive in extreme conditions. Kevin Langergraber has been studying the Ngogo chimpanzee community in Uganda for over 20 years. Now, Kevin and colleague Brian Wood tell us how this group are experiencing something thought to be unique amongst humans (and some whales): menopause. And, how geophysicist Amir Kahn used seismic activity on Mars to understand what the core of our neighbouring planet is made of.

Pamela Lundstrum is a member of the Cultural Centre of Bird Island, which brings fine art to central Minnesota, south of Willmar. The center is offering an exhibit by wildlife painter Bradley Donner called “Wild Art,” which continues through the end of the month. Donner explains on his website that he enjoys going to the “wilds of northern Minnesota, Canada and the Driftless trout streams of southeast Minnesota and Wisconsin” to research art. “I am so excited about the newest exhibit,” Lundstrum says. “It's very exciting to see something that is just so beautiful and so perfect. And we only have to go to Bird Island to see it.” “Wild Art” will be on display at the Cultural Centre of Bird Island through April 22.  Bonnie Stewart is the executive director of the Fosston Community Library & Arts Association. She is looking forward to attending performances by singer/songwriter Dan Rodriguez, who she calls “an amazing performer. He's a talented musician. He writes his own songs, he sings beautifully. And he is probably one of the most engaging entertainers.” Rodriguez was raised in Detroit but moved to Minneapolis at age 18 to study music. His varied career includes the song "When You Come Home,” which played as part of a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl in 2014. “He just brings joyful, new, awesome music,” Stewart says. Rodriguez will play at the 318 Cafe in Excelsior Saturday. Annie Deutsch of Minneapolis recommends artist Sadie Ward, whose exhibition, “Midwest Women” will be on display at the Second Floor Gallery in Coffman Memorial Union in Minneapolis. Ward “has been making portraits of women throughout history out of bras,” Deutsch explains. “Brart. You put ‘bra' and ‘art' together.” The works are of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Michelle Obama, and Jane Goodall among others. “Her first one that kind of inspired it all was Anna Dickey Olson, who was the first woman from Minnesota to run for Senate.” “Midwest Women” runs through April 23, with a reception Friday.

When I am in ecosystems and landscapes (and in this case also seascapes) that are so pure and wild and in which I am not the predominant species, I feel connected to Nature in an indelible way and this feeds my soul deeply.  Bird Island is such a place and meeting a man like Darrel Isaac while there made that feeling even stronger. Not only does he live within this special world of birds, tortoises, tropical forest and underwater magic, he never stops experiencing the kind of awe that we, as first time visitors, were experiencing. This kind of humility, of total dedication is an example of what we as a species are capable of. Bring it on, we need more Darrell's on this planet. Enjoy our (noisy!) conversation.

As we celebrate the summer solstice on the other side of the world it's the shortest day or mid-winter. For the first time the British Antarctic Survey have an all-female team wintering on Bird Island in the sub-Antarctic. Midwinter is a moment of celebration for the teams on sites. The Bird Island Research Station Leader, Imogen Lloyd, joins Emma to tell her about the work they're doing. Olivia Harrison has penned a book of poetry called "Came the Lightening" to celebrate her husband, George Harrison's life, more than twenty years after his death.. As lead guitarist of The Beatles, his most famous songs included While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Here Comes the Sun. What prompted her to share her memories in poetry? A court support service that helps thousands of people who cannot afford a lawyer could be under threat after having its government funding changed. The Chief Executive of Support Through Court Eileen Pereira explains what any loss of core-funding could have on the women they support. A new story suggests that Boris Johnson may have spoken to Downing Street aides about getting his wife, Mrs Carrie Johnson, two roles while she was living in Number 10 with the Prime Minister as his fiancee. Sources told the Daily Mirror that the Prime Minister raised possible new environmental roles for her in autumn 2020, either on the COP 26 summit or with the Royal Family. His closest advisors are said to have vetoed both suggestions - but what questions does this raise about her being the victim of sexism and the idea of her as a private citizen? We hear from Daily Mirror Political Editor Pippa Crerar Plus a new coming-of-age TV series was released on Amazon Prime – The Summer I Turned Pretty, The characters are supposed to be 15 and 16 year olds, but the majority of the cast are in their early 20's. Why are films and television shows that focus on the teenage experience so often played by older actors? We hear from Alex Hart an English and History Student at Durham University and Tianna Haffenden a young actor. Presenter Emma Barnett Producer Beverley Purcell

Jay is in a chirpy mood today because it is time to tweet about the smash-hit Finnish action-based media franchise that is now adapted to both The Angry Birds Movie and The Angry Birds Movie 2. We will look at the story of "Red" the angry bird who is outcast due to his short temper AND "Red" as the hero of Bird Island with new responsibilities, challenges and love interest to boot.King Dom and MKH nestle in and start pecking away at the seeds of each movie to see if they are ones we should flock to or fly away from. Will Geeksweat get into a tailspin over these spin-offs?#AngryBirds, #animated, #app, #game, #RovioEntertainment

Terry Rowden (photo by Jeremy D'Entremont) The featured interview in this episode is Terry Rowden, a native of Michigan. Bob Trapani, Jr., executive director of the American Lighthouse Foundation, joined Light Hearted host Jeremy D'Entremont to take part in this interview, which was recorded inside the keeper's house at Little River Light Station. Terry Rowden served as a keeper at Little River Light Station in Cutler, Maine, for the U.S. Coast Guard from 1968 to 1970. It was then that he met a young Cutler native named Cynthia, and Terry and Cynthia eventually married.

When the Friends of Little River Lighthouse was founded as a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation in 2008, Terry became a volunteer. For the past few years, Terry has been the resident caretaker on the island. His wife Cynthia is also a valuable volunteer. At the American Lighthouse Foundation annual gala in 2016, Terry was awarded a President’s Award for his exemplary commitment to the organization’s historic lighthouse preservation mission. Little River Light Station in July 2019. Photo by Jeremy D'Entremont In the history segment, hosts Jeremy D'Entremont and Michelle Jewell Shaw tell the tale of William S. Moore, who became the first keeper of Bird Island Light in Marion, Massachusetts, when the station went into operation in 1819. Circa 1859 view of Bird Island Light Station, Marion, Massachusetts. National Archives image 26-LG-5-19 Persistent local legend claims that Moore was a pirate who was banished to Bird Island as punishment. Some accounts also claim that Moore murdered his wife, and there are those who say the island has been haunted or cursed ever since.

Links talked about in this episode: https://brentbergherm.com/course-info/ https://brentbergherm.com/workshops/ww-print/ Time to talk about two pieces of gear. The iPad Pro and a mobile workflow opportunity that it provides, and the Sony a6400. Let’s talk about the 6400 first. I took it with me to my conference in April 2019 to San Francisco. I was there for a web design conference, but I landed at about noon on Sunday and went straight for Cataract falls in the Marin Headlands area. Took only this camera Was concerned about leaving the Canon kit behind. This is a very capable camera, but I’m just so used to my Canon and three lenses. Took a small bag that went into my computer bag. Took two batteries and my normal ThinkTank photo pixel pocket secure with my cards. It charges via USB plugged straight into the camera. Let’s look at a few Specs of the camera. Sony E mount, crop sensor  24MP ISO to 32,000, extendable to 102,400 Electronic Front Curtain Shutter to 1/4000thsec. Silent shutter, is completely silent Tons of video options, all the way up to 4K and full HD at 60fps I’ve yet to do any video with this camera. 425 Phase Detect AF sensors 425 Contrast Detection Areas Viewfinder resolution almost 2.4MP Monitor resolution 921,600 dot Tilting screen (up and down, flips up but not flippy screen. Rather annoying that it is hard to operate with an arca swiss plate attached) USB 2 micro b for charging L Weight: 14.22 oz, 403g (with battery and memory card) All in all, not a bad camera for less than $900. Quite respectable in fact.  There’s a few things I couldn’t get used to, or couldn’t yet figure out. Screen resolution is too low.  Hand keeps turning off screen when I reach toward the camera, the sensor for the viewfinder senses the hand, turns off screen. Kind of annoying. I know I can switch it to be only the rear screen or the viewfinder. I don’t want that. I want a sensor that actually senses it’s on a tripod and that when something approaches it it should leave the screen on. Then, when I have it in one hand or both hands, and that sensor is tripped, it should then go back and forth between EVF and the screen. But I like it when I want to use the viewfinder. Viewfinder is too low resolution as well. The AF system is good, but I couldn’t intuitively figure out how to change it so I can manually select which AF spot I want. I had to rely on the ability to touch the screen to override the camera’s auto selection of AF points. But when using the viewfinder, I was out of luck. Probably just my inexperience, and my being used to the Canon system. But it should be more intuitive to make that selection. On my 5D4, it’s a quick flick of the joystick item. Comparisons to the Canon 5D4 In one sense it’s rather unfair to make a comparison because these are two totally different cameras. But that too is my point. I’ll be looking at image quality soon, so that ultimately tells the whole story, but for now, let’s look at the physical differences.  I use a Pro Media Gear L bracket with my 5D4, it makes this package a massive beast to behold. But I do like it and it has worked well for me. But I’m very much interested in a smaller kit. I want to travel more and take more pictures, and I do know that the girth of the camera does cause me to not get it out sometimes. I bought the Sony with the 18-135 lens. Together they weigh 25.72 oz or 1.6 pounds. Not bad. The Canon with the 24-70 I shoot weighs in at about 48 oz. or 3 pounds. That’s nearly twice the weight. The Sony is rated with the battery, the Canon is not. Add the battery and my L bracket and I’m saving half the weight when going with the Sony. Image Quality: I just completed working on several images in LR. Before I get too far into this I gotta say one thing, This is not a direct comparison of the same exact scenes between the Canon and the Sony.  I did not take my Canon so I only had the Sony to shoot and think about on this trip. Thoughts: Golden Gate Bridge at night: Came out very well. I shot mostly in the 100, 200 and 400 ISO range and I let the shutter speed go on up to 10 seconds or so. I did a lot of experimenting so I’m just going off of the two that made it to my keepers file thus far.  I’m really impressed with the flexibility of these files. I can push them up in LR easily about ½ stop more than my Canon with the same amount of noise build up. Past 400 though and it starts to fall apart in my opinion. And by “fall apart” I really mean that you can see the noise, it’s still very well controlled, but it’s certainly there. Pretty much on par with the Canon. This is impressive given that the Pixel area of the Sony is 15.13 µm²and the Canon is 28.73 µm² Story behind shooting these images Woke up at about 4:30 a.m. Drove to the Marin Headlands area, specifically, to the Battery Spencer overlook. Arrived way before sunrise. Had the place to myself.  Looked at a few options for framing. Decided to largely hang out a bit to the left of the battery area so I could have a slightly better angle on the bridge and the city behind it. Got plenty of shots with it pitch black. However,  my favorite shot is the ones where just a bit of blue is starting to come through.  Reds of the bridge are not feeling all that “original” or natural. Not sure if this is a lighting issue, a Sony issue or something else. I was able to manipulate the colors in post to get them pretty good, but to begin with they were awful. I’ve never had this problem with my Canon. Initially, however, I’ll chalk this up to just loads of experience with the Canon, and preconceived expectations. As the sun continued to rise it looked promising. I wanted to catch the harsh light on the bridge with the city behind. But the fog rolled in on the horizon. It remained mostly clear where I was, but over the main land area it got a bit thick.  So I went over to the edge of the ridge and shot the sun coming through the clouds. It was quite good actually. Very pleased with how those came out. I was able to frame up Alcatraz with a large ship, and with the sun poking through the clouds and reflecting off the water, it was rather sweet. I then got back on the main road and headed down towards Point Bonita Lighthouse. There were signs posted saying it’s only open for a few hours on Sunday afternoon, but I had no idea they’d close a tunnel that is the only access to the area and you can’t even see it from the trail. I was a bit disappointed.  I then drove to the Battery Alexander Parking lot and walked to the beach that leads to Bird Island. It was all right, but nothing too exciting. I just shot a few wet sand texture and pattern studies.  One afternoon I walked downtown after the conference and I got on top of a parking garage and shot an old fashioned street car. I zoomed in and framed it up tight, the curvy lines, windows and the pattern of the road made for a striking composition. I really like the guy in the back window. You can see his face and that’s the only major human element in the shot. And then finally, I got the sailboat with the ridge behind it. I like the simplicity of this shot. Waterfall shots. Actually, before I shot the bridge and downtown I went to Cataract falls a bit further north. It was an excellent hike. But it was also the first time shooting with this camera in CA. I had shot it a bit before with two listeners who met me in Clarkston, WA, and we went to Hell’s canyon and did a bit in the Palouse area. Anyway, I got a few images that worked, but I was really spending too much time getting used to the camera, most of what I got wasn’t worth much. But it was still a valuable experience. Really the only true keeper is a B&W vertical panoramic with a log crossing over the top portion of the frame and the water flowing into a small pool area with rocks surrounding it. The files held up really well to how far I have to push them when doing a shot like this. B&W helps too, but still, it’s a good quality image. Lens quality The 18-135 is a quality lens. I was almost surprised at how good it is. I could easily trust most of my shots to this lens. I tried it with severe backlighting, side lighting and some of my favorite types of subjects, and they were rendered quite well.  I’m not done testing, and my opinion may change, but so far so good. I did not do quality tests at various focal lengths, I’m just speaking candidly from what I was able to see from these initial images. Can I actually do it, make the switch? It’s hard to make the switch just now. I think the lower res screens and EVF bothered me too much. I need something like the EOS-R with a higher resolution viewfinder and flippy screen. The FujiFilm X-T3 has a much higher resolution EVF at 3.69mp, but the rear screen is only barely a few more pixels at 1.04mp. The canon EOS R has the same resolution EVF as the FujiFilm but it has a 2.1MP rear flippy screen. So if I’m looking for the best experience in shooting, and I did notice the lower res rear screen was annoying, then the Canon EOS R still has a bit of a nod.  The Panasonic has a whopping 5.7MP EVF and the same 2.1MP rear screen as the EOS R.  This is why I’m still officially waiting to declare which direction I’ll be going with my shooting. Canon has predicted a drop in camera sales and we’re seeing that now with the latest reports coming out in the last couple months. Is it any wonder? There’s lots of good equipment out there, but when you have a 5D4 already, not much is really pulling me one way or the other. Things are to incremental at this point to make me want to pull out the plastic an make it happen with a new body. Video capabilities. I’ve yet to shoot video on the Sony. Though I just got the ThinkTank Photo PhotoCross 15 in the mail today. I’ll be doing a YouTube video on that soon and then I’ll be able to talk about this camera and it’s video capabilities. iPad Use I’d love to be able to use my iPad Pro 2 as an exclusive platform for when out on a trip and I think I’m getting close to saying that is becoming more and more feasible for me. Download images to camera roll. Then import into LR mobile. Rather annoying. iOS 13 supposed to fix this issue, allowing us to import directly into 3rdparty apps such as LR mobile. I look forward to that.  Then I have to wait for LR to upload the images to the cloud and then wait for LR on the computer to download them. If you thought importing images into LR was slow, just do this. However, it would be rather worth it for me if I can do this because I’d be able to leave the computer at home if I needed or wanted to.  Still waiting for full PS on the iPad. Once that happens things are going to get very interesting.  However, with the changes in pricing Adobe has started “testing” even I’m tempted to find another solution even though I get the creative cloud through work. And the price they give educational institutions… it’ll be hard for us to justify moving away from adobe anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean I can’t personally make a switch. Time will tell. The Jury is still out on that one. Closing Remarks Finally, some information you’ve been waiting for on Denver. I’m going to do a one-day print workshop on July 28. I’m working with a local camera club for hosting it but the best part is that they said that I can easily invite my listeners to join in on the fun as well. We don’t need to keep it exclusive. Club members will get a small discount but otherwise it’ll be open to you folks as well.  I don’t have everything figured out just yet, but you can check out the FB group for an announcement and those of you who have contacted me personally, I’ll be reaching out to you once I have the details all worked out. I have another workshop for you as well. It’s based here in Walla Walla. We’ll plan to get up to the Palouse as well, but it’s all about shooting, processing and printing. We’ll spend five days going through the whole process from start to finish. And you’ll return home with some great images and new skills. If you’re interested in pushing your image making to new heights this workshop is for you. It happens June 17-21 of this year. Check out all the details on the website, https://brentbergherm.com/workshops/ww-print The Walla Walla workshop does include access to the online course as well. So you’ll get access to over 8 hours of learning and inspiration for taking your images off the screen and into the real world. We’ll talk about working with labs too, so you don’t need your own printer to make this a valuable experience. And quickly, a quick shout out to all those who have purchased the online course. It’s been out almost a month now and I’m thrilled to see the progress many folks are making. I get the stats of video downloads and such and I’m loving the opportunity to help so many folks who have decided to take the plunge. I’m about to announce my first group session that’s associated with the course, so those of you enrolled, watch for that in your email. I’m talking to David, Bill, Steven, Hank, Dino, Gary, Jeremy, Brian, Steve and the others. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. So if you’re ready to take that next step head on over to the website and sign up today! In the next few episodes I’ll be talking with the host of the longest running photography podcast, Chris Marquardt. I’m also bringing on Mary Malinconico to talk about selecting workshops and participating in other photo outings. Jeff and I recently talked a bit about workshops and how to select them on the Master Photography Podcast, but with Mary we’ll go quite a bit deeper. I’ve also got three people interested in talking with me about the book Making Photographs by Ibarionex Perello. So that episode will be exciting and it’ll happen in early July. Thank you so much for listening. I hope you have a fantastic day, whatever you’re doing and until next time, happy shooting!

DUBLIN – Lost Boys of Bird Island co-author Chris Steyn has been under fire since publishing her explosive book. This week, Steyn was driven to take a polygraph test to defend herself from accusations that she fabricated the story. The furor is reminiscent of the anger surrounding Pieter-Louis Myburgh's Gangster State – those named in Myburgh’s book and their supporters have responded with similar anger. But the work of exposing wrongdoing needs to be done, no matter how many feathers are ruffled. In this week’s show, Alec Hogg talks about why he thinks Steyn is getting such pushback. Alec Hogg and Felicity Duncan also talk about tariffs in South Africa and the UK, and how they may be causing a lot of unintended consequences. Alec also shares the uplifting story of Lincoln City, a UK football club on the rise thanks to South African investors. – Felicity Duncan

The Albatross is a long lived bird – one male on Bird Island in South Georgia was ringed as a chick in 1959 and still going strong. But out of the 22 Albatross species, 15 are in danger of extinction and that’s despite the remarkable success of the Albatross Task Force – set up by the RSPB and Birdlife International more than a decade ago. On this edition of Nature’s Voice Jane Markham talks to marine biologists Titus Shaanika from the ATF team in Namibia and Cristian Suazo in Chile about their work with the fishing industry to try to reduce the number of Albatrosses killed as a ‘bycatch’. She also meets the RSPB’s Nina da Rocha the Albatross Task Force Project officer to find out more about the task force’s role since it was set up and looks forward to further success in the future.

What is the biggest bird? Why do some species in some locations end up becoming giants? What makes islands like Madagascar so special and why are so many of the species once found there so very large in size? This week we look at island gigantism and island dwarfism across the world with a focus on the giant Elephant birds of Madagascar.References: James P. Hansford, Samuel T.

Die mede-skrywer van die boek “The boys of Bird Island”, Chris Steyn, sê sy het nie vir haar lesers weggesteek dat sy met 'n voormalige lid van die Burgerlike Samewerkingsburo getroud was nie. Steyn het vir Anna-Marie Jansen van Vuuren gesê ondersoekende joernalis Jacques Pauw het verskeie feite foute gemaak in sy resensie van die boek. Volgens haar het sy respek vir Pauw se joernalistieke vernuf, maar dat hy eers voor sy eie deur moet vee, voordat hy vir oorlede speurder Mark Minnie van slordige speurwerk aankla.

I’ve always been a huge fan of my former colleague Chris Steyn, having seen close up how she has always made exposing the truth her only priority, regularly speaking out against the powerful on behalf of those without a voice. Much has happened in the few weeks since the publication of the best-seller, most dramatically the suicide last month of her co-author Mark Minnie. Chris has also been the subject of sustained attacks by some of Afrikanerdom’s formerly powerful figures, including a scathing accusation by an Apartheid police general that she and Minnie made it all up. Lost Boys of Bird Island hit the South African book reading market like a hurricane, evoking strong emotions both ways. Since its publication, social media has been buzzing non-stop and Afrikaans Sunday newspaper Rapport has devoted hundreds of column centimetres to both sides…Much of the debate being focused on the naming of two Apartheid cabinet ministers, particularly the once all-powerful former Minister of Defence Magnus Malan – a man whose jug-ears were lampooned by cartoonists during his lifetime...and a feared figure referred to by the catamite streetkids as “Ore” ("ears”).

The rand is officially slumping and it looks like the fall could continue as emerging markets currencies remain under fire. What is a South African to do in such an environment? Well, the biggest trick is investing offshore, hedging against the rand with dollar, euro, or pound investments. Alec Hogg and Felicity Duncan discuss how the falling rand has boosted the Biznews Global Portfolio and how offshore diversification can help South African investors stay on top even when the rand hits bottom. They also catch up on the Reinert share buyback and talk about Alec Hogg's upcoming interview with Lost Boys of Bird Island co-author Chris Steyn.

We started the week with the family and friends of the co-author of the tell-all book 'The Lost Boys of Bird Island saying they don't believe he committed suicide. It is alleged that the ex-policeman, Mark Minnies committed suicide on Monday at his friend's farmhouse in Theescombe near Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. The book details allegations of a paedophile network that included Apartheid era defence minister Magnus Malan. Elvis Presslin spoke to Nwabisa Makunga, Editor for the Herald newspaper in Port Elizabeth about her big stories for the week and the week ahead

The death of Mark Minnie, co-author of the controversial book "The Lost Boys of Bird Island", has shocked many South Africans. It implicates a prominent businessman and two former National Party ministers, including Magnus Malan, as central figures in an alleged paedophilia ring that operated during the apartheid era. The book alleges the trio molested and raped minors at Bird Island off the coast of Port Elizabeth. Minnie's body was found at a friend's home in Theescombe outside Port Elizabeth. New information from police however, says the gun found did not belong to Minnie and a suicide note was found. Kim Daniels reports.

The co-author of explosive book, The Lost Boys of Bird Island, has been found dead in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. Mark Minnie, a former policeman, together with reporter, Chris Steyn, details in the book how former National Party defence minister, Magnus Malan and other National Party ministers allegedly had sex with young boys during fishing excursions, on Bird Island near PE. Executive producer of the actuality TV show Focus, Alet Van Rensburgh Wright, who has been investigating the kidnappings of girls in the 1980s by paedophile, Gert Van Rooyen, spoke to our presenter Sakina Kamwendo.

The Afrikaans Sunday Newspaper, Rapport is reporting that three former National Party ministers‚ including Magnus Malan‚ have been identified as central figures in a paedophilia ring that operated during apartheid. The investigations into Malan‚ a former defence minister who died in 2011‚ John Wiley‚ former apartheid minister of environmental affairs‚ and a third person who is still alive‚ were allegedly halted by the police and the investigating officer forced to leave service in the 1980s. The explosive allegations are contained in a new book, 'The Lost Boys of Bird Island'‚ authored by former policeman Mark Minnie and ex-journalist Chris Steyn‚ which was also released for sale on Sunday. The Commissioning Editor of the book, Maryna Lamprechts, of Tafelberg Publishers, spoke to RSG producer Metzi van der Merwe and she started by asking her to explain the allegations in the book...

'n Oud-woordvoerder van senior weermaglede wat destyds om amnestie by die Waarheids- en Versoeningskommissie aansoek gedoen het, Generaal Dirk Marais, verwerp die beweringe dat apartheidsministers soos Magnus Malan deel van 'n pedofolie-netwerk was. Marais was die woordvoerder van Malan en offisiere soos Georg Meiring, Constand Viljoen en Jannie Geldenhuys. Die beweringe word gemaak in die boek, "Die seuns van Bird Island" deur 'n oud-polisieman Mark Minnie en 'n ondersoekende joernalis, Chris Steyn wat die naweek bekendgestel is.

Generaal Magnus Malan was 'n pedofiel wat aan seksorgries met jong seuns op Bird-eiland naby Port Elizabeth deelgeneem het. Dit is nou volgens die skrywers van die boek: "Die Seuns van Bird Island", deur die voormalige speurder, Mark Minnie, en 'n ondersoekende joernalis, Chris Steyn. Die skrywers beweer dat nog 'n kabinetslid van oud-president PW Botha en 'n sakeman se name genoem word as deel van die seksnetwerk. Die opdraggewende redakteur van Tafelberg uitgewers, Maryna Lamprecht, het aan Metzi van der Merwe gese^ die aantygings teen Malan en die ander is ontstellend.

Jason Sudeikis voices Red, aka "eyebrows", a hot-headed cardinal (one presumes) who frequently doesn't quite see eye to eye with his feathered flock around him on the island they all reside in, Bird Island. These non-flying birds think they are all there is in this world until the day that a ship drops anchor on Red's home, destroying it, making him an enemy but the other birds seem more friendly toward their new porcine visitors, not knowing that the fun and friendship they're ostensibly bringing is merely a ruse to get closer to grabbing their precious and delicious eggs from right under their beaks. Now it's up to Red to try to figure out how to save the eggs by getting his bird brethren to mount an attack on the porker stronghold before the swine have had their dinner.
