Haiti fews7/22/2023 Haiti National Police said in a brief statement that officers in the city’s Canape Vert section stopped and searched a minibus for contraband early Monday, and had confiscated weapons from suspects before they were “unfortunately lynched by members of the population.” The statement did not elaborate on how members of the crowd were able to take control of the suspects. Haitis President Jovenel Moise was killed in an attack at his residence after a group of unidentified individuals stormed his home at around 1 a.m. Over the past few years, Haitians in Boston, NY, Florida, Philadelphia, and New Jersey have celebrated proudly the month of May with parades, flag raising. The insecurity has fueled the resurgence of cholera, increased food. Six more burned bodies were laid in a nearby neighborhood later Monday, and some witnesses said that police killed them and residents set them on fire, but the AP could not verify the accounts independently.

This reflects that even if we won’t have any deprivation of resources we can easily head towards the end. This is how eventually they lose control of civilization and die. We can relate to the beautiful ones as humans nowadays are not interested in social interaction but in grooming and beautifying themselves. ![]() Most of the time they would go and groom themselves, that’s why they are called the beautiful ones. They would keep themselves in a limited space and would consume all the resources in that space only. The progeny of this generation shows no interest in social interaction and community-making. This generation grew up in a hostile environment where organisms would fight for resources. This generation is called the beautiful ones. The next generation was more interesting than ever before. The close contact at the feeding site leads to a deadly fight between mice despite having enough resources. Some of the mice who could not manage to be part of this group were deprived of any resources. He observed that the feeding ground turned out to be a close interaction point for mice where groups began to form. ![]() As the population increased, day by day mothers started losing the maternal Instinct to take care of their progeny.

Canon eos shutter counter7/21/2023 The file name is edited to lower the numerical suffix. If a blank flash card is inserted afterwards, some cameras like the Canon 60D will continue previous filename numbering for example, will write file IMG4102.JPG when shutter count is 3752. I would suggest that you consider whether the price is really tempting, and if so then go ahead.Īs I’ve mentioned earlier, these cameras can go as high as 300k clicks without malfunctioning or breaking down. The shutter count in this case will be only 3751. It doesn’t mean that the camera will fail outright, but it does increase the chance of future problems. If you are considering purchasing a used camera and the shutter count is high (over 100,000 actuations), it may be better to look elsewhere. To retrieve the shutter count on your Canon Rebel T7i, you can use a software application called 'EOSInfo' (or 'EOS Utility' for newer cameras). Just keep on shooting as you normally would!Īlthough it’s not likely that the shutter will wear out if you exceed its limit, your camera should last for many years to come as long as you take care of it. Should you worry about a high shutter countĭon’t let it bother you. All you need to do is install Magic Lantern on your EOS, press MENU and then DISP. So, if you already know that your camera has a high shutter count, you should consider saving up either for a repair or a new camera body. If you have Magic Lantern installed you can check the shutter count on your 60D. To do this you need to have a good understanding of cameras and electronics in general. In addition, If your photographs have strong light streaks across the frame, and there is a delay before you press down on the shutter button, making it sound like something has broken inside your camera when you do so, it’s likely that there’s something wrong with our shutter.Īlso, it is possible to take apart your camera and replace the parts yourself, but it’s not an easy task. If photos are consistently too dark or too light regardless of your settings, shutter failure may be to blame. ShutterCount displays the number of shutter actuations (the shutter count) of your Canon EOS, Nikon or Pentax digital camera, so you can easily check. This method of finding out the Canon shutter count is perfect for Mac OS users. In order to reset the shutter count, you have to replace the shutter itself. Also, the program is available only for Windows users. The firmware on most cameras-including the Canon EOS 90D-is very secure against unauthorized access and tampering. It may be possible for a technically skilled individual, but I believe it’s too complicated for the average person. Is it possible to reset the shutter count? Just keep shooting and enjoy your camera. However, just like I’ve said, don’t worry too much about it. If you’re being paid to shoot, or if you depend on your camera for important work, it’s recommended to have a backup camera body just in case the shutter fails during a shoot. What is eosmsg What can it do eosmsg is a software that allows certain functions to be performed on a compatible Canon EOS DSLR camera or Nikon Pentax. But you should be aware that the camera may soon show signs of shutter problems. For flexibility, some models offer both wired and wireless functionality, such as the Canon remote shutter release. ![]() Your camera will continue to function just as it always has. Despite the record-high pixel count and related storage and processing power, these cameras do not shoot 4K video or high frame rate 1080p video.What happens when the shutter count is reached?Īlthough most cameras have a shutter life expectancy it is not something to worry about if yours has reached that point. At the time of announcement, estimated prices were US$3,699.00 and US$3,899.00 (EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R), with announced date of availability, through authorized Canon retailers, in June 2015. Canon stated that both the 5DS and 5DS R will not replace the older EOS 5D Mark III, so therefore both the 5DS and 5DS R will have their new positions in Canon's DSLR camera lineup. ![]() ![]() This distinction is roughly similar to that between Nikon's now-replaced D800 and D800E (with the E having a self-cancelling filter). The only difference between the two models is that the sensor of the "R" version includes an optical filter that cancels out the effects of a standard optical low-pass filter. Both are professional full-frame cameras with 50.6-megapixel sensors, the highest of any full-frame camera at the time of announcement. The Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R (known as the EOS 5Ds and EOS 5Ds R in Japan) are two closely related digital SLR cameras announced by Canon on February 6, 2015.

Overcooked broccoli7/21/2023 ![]() It does not matter which methods you choose to cook the chicken and broccoli, the last step is the same for all of them. Next, transfer the blanched broccoli to a colander to release as much water as possible, and then quickly stir-fry it with the velveted chicken and sauce. If you choose to velvet the chicken in water, before you do, you can quickly blanch the broccoli in the water until it is bright green and crisp-tender.Stir-fry the broccoli in oil in your heavy-bottomed pan or wok until bright green and crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.Here are the options for cooking the broccoli: One more thing to consider is that you have two options for cooking the broccoli! Again, I don’t want to overwhelm you with choices, but I love sharing how versatile this recipe can be. This method creates the most tender, almost silky chicken.īoth methods make a delicious stir-fry, but whenever we velvet the chicken in water first, we are blown away by the silky, tender texture of the cooked chicken. Velvet the chicken by quickly cooking it in boiling water (40 to 50 seconds), and then stir-fry it with the broccoli and sauce.The chicken is perfectly seasoned and tender. Skip velveting the chicken in water and cook the marinated chicken right in the pan or wok (this is what we do in our video).So as I mentioned above, you have two options for cooking the chicken for this stir fry: If your results match ours, you will notice that the velveted chicken is more tender and almost silky, while the chicken cooked right in the wok after marinating is still very tender, just not as much. If you are in the mood to experiment yourself, we highly recommend trying the water velveting method shared in our recipe below (in the section named alternate method). ![]() However, you still achieve excellent results without this step. What we show in our video: We do not velvet the chicken in water in our video. from Serious Eats tested this if you are interested). Both water and oil generate similar results (Shao Z. ![]() We don’t typically have this at home, so we prefer water. It’s easy for them and not unusual to have a big pot of oil at the ready. Most restaurants use oil to blanch the meat. Marinate, quickly blanch in hot oil or water, and finish cooking by quickly stir-frying. So much so that it’s unfortunate the method isn’t more known. If you have ever ordered from a Chinese restaurant and reveled over how soft, silky, and tender the meat is, they’ve likely used the technique of velveting. Velveting is a Chinese cooking technique that produces unbelievably soft and tender meat. Then to make your stir fry rival the ones you get at your favorite Chinese restaurants, use a mixture of cornstarch and cold water to thicken the sauce until it’s a perfect consistency, saucy, and sticking to the broccoli and chicken. We stir in the sauce when the broccoli and chicken have mostly been cooked. (If you love veggies, we also have a veggie stir fry recipe).Ĭombine chicken, broccoli and the stir-fry sauce. Our recipe method makes sure that you are not left with floppy, overcooked broccoli. We want our broccoli to be bright green and crisp-tender. If you cook them together, the chicken will likely be overcooked and the broccoli undercooked.Ĭook the broccoli. This way, you guarantee perfectly cooked chicken and crisp-tender broccoli. Whichever option you choose, we recommend cooking the chicken separately from the broccoli. We talk all about the velveting process below. You can stir fry it in a heavy-bottomed pan or wok until cooked, which is what we do in our video. You have two choices for cooking the chicken. The recipe is also below.Ĭook the chicken. We use our Garlic Ginger Stir Fry Sauce for this recipe and love it! Please look at our stir fry sauce recipe to see why we think it’s better than anything you can buy at the store. First, a quick marinade of soy sauce seasons our chicken, and second, since we add cornstarch to the marinade, the chicken stays unbelievably moist and tender even when it’s cooked. Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, cornstarch, and a little bit of oil. |
