Affirmations work, I know they do
Encourage yourself towards success
So often today we hear of the power of the affirmation as it is spoken about with reverence in hushed tones.

An affirmation is a vehicle on which we may carry ourselves on to reach the very heights of potential. An affirmation is the key to unlock the chains of the negativity that too often condemns the wearer to a life of mediocrity. An affirmation is a weapon against the torment of emotional baggage.


Convert RAW files to DNG for peace of mind when archiving photographs.

RAW image files are proprieties of the cameras manufacturer their file extensions are unique to its own and do not exchange well over other programs they consist of “.RAF” for Fuji “.ORF” for Olympus, “.NEF” for Nikon and “.CRW” for Canon, just to name a few. Adobe has also developed a RAW image file extension, “.DNG” meaning digital negative in 2004, Abodes DNG was created with the intention of unifying the individual RAW camera file formats.
Your RAW image is at its most pure, but there is no guarantee that your cameras RAW image will be recognized by available software applications sometime in the future.

Perhaps 20 years later when you want to access your archived photographs, of your family are looking for that special photo of “Aunty Jan” as a kid, or another photograph that might have some historical significance that your photographs many not be accessible. This was a great concern to Photographers at the beginning of the Digital photography explosion, and even the reason why many today still shoot with film despite the advancements in digital photograph quality.
DNG file format is the answer to this concern


Who am I?

Life’s reason is a question it seems, and the journey for answers. There are many questions, and often a vast array of answers.
With knowledge real happiness was found. The first question ever asked was answered, and the rest of life came easily.
It’s not unusual in our haste to neglect this first question. After all the answer is not written, neither is there a wise man to ask who could possibly reply.
This question is short of only three words. But it is truly the most important ever asked, and the most valuable ever answered.
“Who am I”, now ask yourself, “Who am I”.


A short detail study of ancient Babylonian astronomy:

Ancient Babylonian astronomy dates back to 1,800 BC and ultimately concerned itself in the establishment of an accurate calendar, the emphasis was on recording and calculating the motions of the Sun and Moon.
Babylonian temple astronomers called “Tupsar Enuma Enlil” observed the skies for centuries and recorded their findings in astronomical diaries and star catalogues. Using these observations Babylonian astronomers had the ability to predict lunar and later solar eclipses with fairly precise accuracy. From Babylonian astronomy the Saros-cycle was developed. The Saros cycle is a period of 223 synodic months, or 18 years+11.3 days in reflection of the lunar and solar patterns.
The results of Babylonian astronomy predictions were also able to calculate that 235 lunar months are nea
