I started my Milky Mama Starter Pack the day we got home from the hospital. My milk came in on a Thursday. In exactly one week I had 10 bags (over 40oz) in my freezer solely from using my Milky Mama Milk collector with feedings. Absolutely no pumping!
Milky Mama is amazing. I recommend to all mothers out there. All of their products are delicious and so good. I can eat them all day. Every session I always had at least 4 to 5 oz on each side before I had about 1.5 to 2 oz. Overall, this is an amazing product and it's highly recommended. I give this 100 stars.
Milky Mama Emergency Brownies helped me establish a supply while my baby and I worked through the struggles of breastfeeding. Because of Milky Mama, I am able to exclusively breastfeed my baby and have been able to donate over 1,000 ounces of breastmilk to other milky mamas and their babies.
Unless I'm missing something on Vimeo, I haven't seen anything from Affinity on developing milky way photos, which I assume is kind of a common task. It's also something I'm terrible at so far, both with Affinity and Rawtherapee. So I'd love to see an official video, or even a series on developing milky way shots to bring out the color, and developing astro photos in general.
Well not sure if milky means kind of washed out and faded? But my 2014 Macbook Air appears that way after upgrading. I'm really not liking it (El Capitan) so I am looking at going back to Yosemite. The washed out appearance is harder on my 50 something eyes. I guess maybe the font is a problem too? Everything appears sharp but its just washed out.
Yes, washed out and faded. Just after I posted the message my screen slowly faded to black. I went to System Prefs, selected Display, and un-selected 'automatically adjust brightness'. I set my brightness manually, and so far it looks crisper and more stable. (Or my 50 something eyes may just have forgotten what a crisp screen used to look like)
I have been experiencing the exact same issue on a 2013 15" Macbook Pro since upgrading to El Capitan - and sure enough, disabling the automatic brightness adjust did the trick. Thanks. Also 'milky' is the perfect description of how the screen looks.
In my macs I have a desktop picture, while starting up after the grey and just before I login, the desktop picture is "blurred", then snaps back to "normal" after I sign in. This happens since El Capitan. Is that what you describe?
I had the same experience as you did. By deselecting "automatically adjust brightness", my MacBook Air's LCD produces more accurate color and is less washed-out. Thank you very much for your suggestion!
Milky ribbon worms, unlike crabs, seem to prefer larger clams (i.e., those that have attained sizes > 25 mm [1-inch] in shell length), and appear to wait until clams reach a certain (relatively large) size before consuming their prey. It is possible to determine if a clam is killed by a milky ribbon worm because their shells are not damaged (i.e. not chipped). This is because milky ribbon worms kill their prey by inserting their proboscis through either the incurrent or excurrent siphon, or through the pedal opening and then injecting a toxin that helps digest the living tissue which allows them to slurp up the dissolving clam meat without damaging the shells.
Recent investigations in Freeport from 2013- 2018 examined how milky ribbon worms affect clam populations, but earlier research from 2005-2007 in the midcoast (Searsport, Stockton Springs) demonstrated that milky ribbon worms, along with green crabs, limit commercial densities of soft-shell clams.
Earth is located roughly halfway to the edge of the Milky Way, at a distance of about 26,000 light years from the center. We reside in a feature known as the Orion Spur (sometimes also called the Orion Arm), which is an offshoot between the larger Sagittarius and Perseus Arms that lie inwards and outwards of our location.
The Milky Way is a large barred spiral galaxy, with a relatively small bar compared to most galaxies of a similar size. A central bar (or central bulge) is a circular to oval shaped structure of old stars which lies at the center of spiral galaxies.
The radius measurement is highly uncertain, as some of the material surrounding the planet may be masquerading as being part of the planet itself. The largest planets whose sizes are known for certain are HAT-P-67 b and XO-6b, both with diameters around 2.1 times that of Jupiter. Both of these planets have had their diameters measured directly as they transit their parent star.
Just as Earth orbits the sun, the solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way. Despite hurtling through space at speeds of around 515,000mph (828,000kmph) our solar system takes approximately 250 million years to complete a single revolution, according to Interesting Engineering. The last time our planet was in this position, dinosaurs were just emerging and mammals were yet to evolve.
If the center of the Milky Way were a city, we would be living in suburbia, about 25,000 to 30,000 light-years from the city center. Life in the outskirts is good; we find ourselves nestled in one of the smaller neighborhoods, the Orion-Cygnus Arm, sandwiched between larger Perseus and Carina-Sagittarius arms. If we were to travel inwards towards the city center, we would find the Scutum-Centaurus and Norma arms.
On a clear night, void of light pollution, we can catch a glimpse of the bright lights of the galactic city streaking across the night sky. Our window into the universe, this milky white band of stars, dust and gas is where our galaxy gets its name.
Lying at the very heart of the Milky Way is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*. About 4 million times the mass of the sun, this beast consumes anything that strays too close, gorging on an ample supply of stellar material enabling it to grow into a giant. In 2022, we imaged this glutton at the core of our galaxy for the very first time, through an innovative technique allowing us to view the shadow of the black hole.
According to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), our galactic home is called the Milky Way after its apparent milky white appearance as it stretches across the night sky. In Greek mythology, this milky band appeared because the goddess Hera sprayed milk across the sky.
Studying the Milky Way used to be notoriously difficult. Astronomers sometimes compare the effort to attempting to describe the size and structure of a forest while being lost in the middle of it. From our position on Earth, we simply lack an overview. But two ground-breaking space telescopes launched since the 1990s have helped usher in the golden age of Milky Way research. Major strides have been made, especially since the 2013 launch of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia mission.
Telescopes enabled astronomers to distinguish the basic shape and structure of some of the closest galaxies before they knew they were looking at galaxies. But reconstructing the shape and structure of our own galactic home was slow and tedious. The process involved building catalogs of stars, charting their positions in the sky and determining how far from Earth they are.
Dutch astronomer Jan Oort, sometimes dubbed the master of the galactic system, was the first to realize that the Milky Way isn't motionless but rotates, and he calculated speeds at which stars at various distances orbit around the galactic center. It also was Oort who determined the position of our sun in the vast galaxy. (The Oort Cloud, a repository of trillions of comets far from the sun, was named after him.)
At the center of the Milky Way sits a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*. With a mass equal to that of four million suns, the black hole, discovered in 1974, can be observed in the sky with radio telescopes close to the constellation Sagittarius.
Everything else in the galaxy revolves around this powerful gateway to nothingness. In its immediate surroundings is a tightly packed region of dust, gas and stars called the galactic bulge. In the case of the Milky Way, this bulge is peanut-shaped, measuring 10,000 light-years across, according to ESA. It harbors 10 billion stars (out of the Milky Way's total of about 200 billion), mostly old red giants, which formed in the early stages of the galaxy's evolution.
Beyond the bulge extends the galactic disk. This feature is 100,000 light-years across and 1,000 light-years thick, and it's home to the majority of the galaxy's stars, including our sun. Stars in the disk are dispersed in clouds of stellar dust and gas. When we look up to the sky at night, it's the edge-on view of this disk extending toward the galactic center that takes our breath away.
Stars in the disk orbit around the galactic center, forming swirling streams that appear to emanate like arms from the galactic bulge. Research into the mechanisms that drive the creation of spiral arms is still in its infancy, but the latest studies suggest that these arms form and disperse within relatively short periods of up to 100 million years (out of the galaxy's 13 billion years of evolution).
