How to safely view the 2017 Solar Eclipse

How to View the 2017 Solar Eclipse Safely

Looking directly at the sun is unsafe except during the brief total phase of a solar eclipse (“totality”), when the moon entirely blocks the sun’s bright face, which will happen only within the narrow path of totality (https://go.nasa.gov/2pC0lhe(link is external)).

The only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” (example shown at left) or hand-held solar viewers. Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, are not safe for looking at the sun; they transmit thousands of times too much sunlight. Refer to the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Reputable Vendors of Solar Filters & Viewers(link is external) page for a list of manufacturers and authorized dealers of eclipse glasses and handheld solar viewers verified to be compliant with the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for such products.

• Always inspect your solar filter before use; if scratched or damaged, discard it. Read and follow any instructions printed on or packaged with the filter.
• Always supervise children using solar filters.
• Stand still and cover your eyes with your eclipse glasses or solar viewer before looking up at the bright sun. After looking at the sun, turn away and remove your filter — do not remove it while looking at the sun.
• Do not look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars, or other optical device.
• Similarly, do not look at the sun through a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using your eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewer — the concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter your eye(s), causing serious injury.
• Seek expert advice from an astronomer before using a solar filter with a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device. Note that solar filters must be attached to the front of any telescope, binoculars, camera lens, or other optics.
• If you are within the path of totality (https://go.nasa.gov/2pC0lhe(link is external)), remove your solar filter only when the moon completely covers the sun’s bright face and it suddenly gets quite dark. Experience totality, then, as soon as the bright sun begins to reappear, replace your solar viewer to look at the remaining partial phases.
• Outside the path of totality, you must always use a safe solar filter to view the sun directly.
• If you normally wear eyeglasses, keep them on. Put your eclipse glasses on over them, or hold your handheld viewer in front of them.

Note: If your eclipse glasses or viewers are compliant with the ISO 12312-2 safety standard, you may look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun through them for as long as you wish. Furthermore, if the filters aren't scratched, punctured, or torn, you may reuse them indefinitely. Some glasses/viewers are printed with warnings stating that you shouldn't look through them for more than 3 minutes at a time and that you should discard them if they are more than 3 years old. Such warnings are outdated and do not apply to eclipse viewers compliant with the ISO 12312-2 standard adopted in 2015. To make sure you get (or got) your eclipse glasses/viewers from a supplier of ISO-compliant products, see the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Reputable Vendors of Solar Filters & Viewers(link is external) page.

An alternative method for safe viewing of the partially eclipsed sun is pinhole projection(link is external). For example, cross the outstretched, slightly open fingers of one hand over the outstretched, slightly open fingers of the other, creating a waffle pattern. With your back to the sun, look at your hands’ shadow on the ground. The little spaces between your fingers will project a grid of small images on the ground, showing the sun as a crescent during the partial phases of the eclipse. Or just look at the shadow of a leafy tree during the partial eclipse; you'll see the ground dappled with crescent Suns projected by the tiny spaces between the leaves.

A solar eclipse is one of nature’s grandest spectacles. By following these simple rules, you can safely enjoy the view and be rewarded with memories to last a lifetime.

Acentos Perdidos

Lorena Castillo nos comparte este otro par de fotos desde Morropón, Perú, con dos agudas terminadas en n, s o vocal. ¡Gracias, Lorena!

Luciano Bautista nos comparte estas fotos. Librería es una palabra llana o grave, pero se tilda porque tiene un hiato -separación de sílabas (li-bre-rí-a)- con fuerza en una vocal cerrada (la i o la u). Útiles es una esdrújula, igual que cómodos. Las mayúsculas que no llevan tilde no responden a ninguna norma, ya que la acentuación les afecta igual.

Cabo, póngale la tilde en la i a la furgo

Y va el cabo, o el rotulista, o cualquiera, y la pone. El caso es que nadie lo quita y la Policía de Madrid se une a la de Mulegé y comienza a apatrullar la ciudá así. Ya puestos, así, con a, es como dice la famosa canción del Fary que me ha venido a la mente.

El año pasado nos llegó el mismo caso en un coche de la policía local de ese pueblo sudcaliforniano, costero en el Mar de Cortés. Ahora, @elJoseManuel nos comparte la versión capitalina española.

Ogads Method, making money on Autopilot!!!

My $150 Per Day Method For 2016

I don't actually use any of those methods which have been shared everywhere on the internet because those methods are being used by everyone and they stop working after sometime so i never waste my time with them. Everyone will tell you about the Youtube method, instagram account method etc. but the truth is that those methods don't work anymore. If you don't believe me then go ahead and try to use those methods and you will see what i am trying to say. You will only be wasting your precious time and effort with those old dead methods.

Instead i use my own developed methods to make huge money with ogads. I always keep creating my own new methods which you will not find anywhere else. Here i will share one of my simple but extremely profitable exclusive method using which you can easily earn good money with ogads. You can request me my most profitable private and exclusive method, after you start earning money using my below mentioned method or any of your own methods as my referral. So here we go! Remember that you must join Ogads using the link below to get my private method. My private method is for my referrals only. If you have already joined ogads then you can still become my referral.

I will try to keep it short and simple. We mainly need two things, which are niches and targeted traffic. The hardest thing is to find good niches and a source to get huge traffic. Here i will show you how to get targeted referral traffic from two highly popular sites. So lets get straight to the methods!

How To Find Niches - The niches which convert best with ogads are android/iOS games che @ts and h @cks. You can easily make this a whitehat niche by providing your user an ebook containing useful tips and tricks about that game. You can find these tips and tricks about a game using other sites with a go0gle search. Now let's see how to find out about latest games. Follow the steps below -

Method 1 To Find Niches

1. Go to Youtube
2. Search for "android gameplay"
3. In the Filters settings, change to "Today" or "Last Hour"

You can now find several new niches! These will be latest videos posted by users about new android games. Choose a niche which you think could be most popular (look at views count) and create a free blog for that game's h ck (actually provide an ebook with tips).

Method 2 To Find Niches

If you own an android smartphone then you can use that to find new popular niches! Follow the steps below.

1. Open Play Store on your phone
2. Choose "Games" and then "Top Charts"
3. Switch to "Top New Free" or "Top New Paid" tab

There you will find the new and most popular games! There are also some games which are in soft launch and not released for all countries. So you can use free apps like "Hola" (which is a VPN) to browse the play store of any country! You will find new popular games in every country, so more and more niches for you!

Getting Targeted Traffic

Now to get the traffic we will be using a less known but highly profitable site called Quora. Quora is a site where people ask questions and other users can answer their questions. It has an alexa rank of 135! So what we will be doing is answer the questions with the link to our blog (which has the h @ck).

First we need to find the related question. For that follow the steps below -

1. Go to go0gle and type the following text ---> inurl:quora.com "your game name here"
2. Replace "your game name here" with the name of your game (don't forget the " symbol before and after the game name)

Now you will see hundreds of questions about your niche asked by quora users. You now just need to go to the questions and answer with a link to your site. Try to choose targeted questions (where users are asking about how to get game resources for free) and also try to make your answers helpful. Write a detailed answer with images or videos in them.

3. Now quora has a feature where people can vote on your answer. The more positive votes you get, better and higher placement your answer will get (and more trust as well). Now you can use a site like microworkers.com to get unlimited upvotes on your answer at a very cheap price! So just create a task at microworkers and you start getting upvotes on your answer. Even if you don't buy upvotes, you still get views on your answer but having higher placements gives you even more exposure.

If you don't see many questions about your game when you search at go0gle using the above keyword phrase then simply ask the question yourself at quora for your game and use another account to post your answer! You can use this method with Yahoo answers also.

So friends this is one of my exclusive methods using which i am easily generating more than $50 per day with Ogads. You can use this method and start earning lots more with Ogads! Remember if you really want to earn hundreds or more per day with Ogads then simply become my referral at ogads and submit the quick form below to request my private and most profitable ogads method for free.
