New Ulm woman become supercentarian, feeling great at age-110

My mother is from New Ulm, and asked me to post this landmark story. Mom attended DMLC a few years before Erna’s husband was head of the music department.

BEAUTIFUL STORY

(vid) Kraftwerk – ‘Autobahn’ (1974) – “Fahr’n fahr’n fahr’n auf der autobahn”

I remember being amazed by this and even humming it when it came out in 1974, when electronic music was just getting going:“Fahr’n fahr’n fahr’n auf der autobahn.”

KQRS FM in Minneapolis, which I was glued to, would play this extended version on a real turntable.

About ten years later, I drove the Autobahn.

Catchy tune!

Discipline, Mummy Bear-style: Cub given roar of disapproval…. before finally getting a hug

Remarkable demonstration of DISCIPLINE that ENDS WITH A HUG:

First, the mother glares angrily at her son as he stands a few feet away looking guilty and sheepish.

Within seconds he is backed into a corner with a terrified expression as she roars her disapproval.

Shortly afterwards he finds himself airborne after she seizes him by the scruff of the neck and propels him from side to side.

However, the fierce encounter at Simferopol Zoo in the Ukraine comes to a peaceful conclusion when Mummy, who weighs the best part of 550 lb, gently hugs him to her chest to reassure him that all is forgiven.

Aspect Ratio: What It Is and How It Greatly Affects Composition

Two articles excerpted below. The first shows through some photographic examples how many scenes or subjects work best in one aspect ratio and not as well in others. I would like to see all mirrorless cameras have some type of multi-aspect ratio sensors so various aspect ratios can be chosen, all having the widest field of view — instead of having to crop from 3:2 or 4:3, which loses field of view and pixels.

(vid) 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 1:1?! Aspect Ratio is VERY IMPORTANT — “Why does the sensor have to be this one form of rectangle? It doesn’t have to be. It could be … circular, and capture the entire image circle, and allow you to crop later… • As people are choosing more and more different form factors, it’s going to get more important to shoot in a wide variety of aspect ratios” – Tony Northrup

“Why does the sensor have to be this one form of rectangle? It doesn’t have to be. … It could be circular, and capture the entire image circle, and allow you to crop later, so that no matter what ratio you decided to go you weren’t losing a lot of megapixels. As people are choosing more and more different form factors, it’s going to get more and more important to shoot in a wide variety of aspect ratios.” – Tony Northrup, transcribed by Jeff Fenske

(vid) LX100’s Amazing Lens! – *All-glass* elements, no polymer & *special milling technique* to improve bokeh

B&H with Matt Frazer from Panasonic, transcribed by me:

Matt: This camera actually uses 5 aspheric elements.

B&H: Glass elements, I might add. No polymer…, just glass.

Matt: They’re all glass. There’s actually 8 aspheric surfaces…. And 2 of them are ED glass. … To go a step further, we were really worried about the quality of the bokeh in the background: those little bokeh balls you get in the background, and all of a sudden you see these concentric rings. Well, we have a new milling technique for molding our aspherics that gets rid of that. So you shouldn’t have any of that funky, onion curl ring in your bokeh balls.
