He decided that now was a perfect time to further his education in public health by enrolling in the Graduate Certificate in Gerontology at the University of Georgia.Hume's wife was diagnosed with kidney disease in 1994 and it kickstarted his focus on public health. "I gave her a kidney in 1995 that lasted for 17 years. I was so amazed by the medical aspect of that and begun an interest in it J said Hume.While enrolled in the gerontology program, he also volunteers as a medic at a rescue squad in Virginia. When he isn't volunteering in Virginia, Hume responds to medical calls in Towns County, Georgia, his new home.Above everything, having an impact in his community is what Hume strives for every single day. “I'm not looking for a career.

Yet despite being unreal proven by science, cryptidsfantastical beasts that probably don't exist-have fascinated humans for centuries and gave birth to cryptotourism which boosts the local tourism. North America's Bigfoot helps generate over $140 million annually for the U.S. economy, according to the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.In Nepal, cryptotourism reaches back to the 1950s. It centers on the Yeti. Up to six feet talland similar in appearance to the Bigfoot, this legendary creature is reported to wander on the snowy peaks of the Himalayas and is a prominent figure in the folk tale of Nepal. Its tale is 6,000 years old. But the fuiry beast was a regional fairytale until British explorer Eric Shipton claimed to have photographed a 13-inch-long human-like footprint in the snow ofNepaPs Menlung Glacier. Explorers all over the world soon flooded into the Himalayas, competing to detect the cryptid.Over time, the Yeti became a powerful tourism brand in Nepal. This beast's foot forms the logo of the domestic carrier, Yeti Airlines, while hotels, restaurants, cafes, and tour companies profit off its name.Some Nepalis are more skeptical. Sushil, a tour guide, says even as a child he viewed Yetis as a sham. Now, when his customers ask about the monster, he tells them it's widely considered a myth. Sushil says he dislikes cryptotourism, which steals focus from the country's remarkable architecture and ancient traditions. "I don't think the Yeti is a valuable tool to promote Nepal tourism,“ he says. "We have a lot of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Nepal should fbcus on its rich natural diversity.”Academics have also offered scientific explanations for the Yeti and other cryptids, yet these legends persist. "People have always been fascinated by things in nature which confuse us, things which we just don't understand,says Panday, a Nepali author. “That's not going to change any time soon.”8.

It is all because of Lensa, an app which uses artificial intelligence to present digital portraits based on photos users submit.Lensa recommends users submit 10-20 selfies for the best results. The pictures should be close-up of your face with a variety of different backgrounds, facial expressions, and angles. A yearlong subscription to the app, which also provides photo editing services, costs $35.99. But youcan use the app for a weeklong free trial if you want to test it out before committing.To test out the app, I took 20 selfies I thought showed a variety of expressions and angles and submitted. It took around 20 minutes for Lensa to return my portraits, which fell into several categories: fantasy, fairy princess, focus, pop, stylish, light, kawaii, and cosmic. In general, I felt like the app did a decent job producing artistic images based on my selfies.Other users have documented unfavorable experiences which come from their Lensa images. Aubrey Gordon, a writer and fat rights activist, wrote on her Instagram the app produced images which made her look much thinner than she actually is. "Lensa is really working overtime to make AI me into a thin person/ she wrote in the caption.Several of the artists expressed concern the apps could also threaten their livelihoods. Digital artists cannot compete with the low prices and fast turnaround artificial intelligence enables for a digital portrait, they said at the time.Lensa's owner Prisma has tried to relieve anxiety that digital artists will be robbed of work opportunities owing to the technology. "While both humans and AI learn about artistic styles in semi-similar ways, there are some fundamental differences: AI is capable of rapidly analyzing and learning from large sets of data, but it does not have the same level of attention and appreciation for art as a human being.”12.
