It was my favorite thrift store in Whittier but all of the sudden it's closed. I haven't been there in a couple of months probably, but it was a sad surprise. The store was always clean and the staff were very nice.
I'm not a GIS newbie, but I'm not as well-versed in remote sensing, especially not in QGIS.
Aim: get a fine-scale (10m or less, ideally 0.5-5m) resolution raster with different vegetation covers on a college campus for the purpose of eventually dropping random points in herbaceous/shrubland areas. In other words, to avoid dropping points on trees, buildings, sidewalks, etc.
Possibly approaches as I see them:
drop random points across the whole campus and just drop points that aren't suitable. Easiest from a GIS perspective, but would take the longest on the ground as many points will drop in unsuitable locations.
Use existing land cover/vegetation layers. I've looked into several, and they either aren't exactly what I'm looking for (ie. I don't need vegetation types per se outside of herbaceous vs. shrub), aren't available in my area (LA county), or are too coarse in spatial resolution (NLCD is too coarse at 30 m).
Use classification in QGIS. I've never done this in QGIS before, but it seems to be fairly straightforward in the tutorials I've seen. I'm just not sure what remote sensing layer to use. Landsat is again too coarse. I did find the NAIP dataset, which is 0.6m resolution, so I'm considering that. Any other leads on that would be helpful, thanks!
Our kiddo has never slept through the night and I used to nurse him to sleep every time because it was easy and faster than other methods. He is sleep trained to go to sleep at night, but we never followed through during the night.
Lately we’ve been trying not to nurse to sleep every time, and sometimes we can get him back down with rocking, but good lord he is so squirmy now!! Also sometimes nursing to sleep doesn’t work!! He’s so so sleepy but just flailing around and it’s hard to rock him back asleep. Ends up being one of us up at least 30 minutes trying to rock him back down.
Anyone else experience this? I think we probably just need to do Ferber when he wakes up but idk.
I've started pumping for slightly shorter stretches at work, and LO has finally started nursing for less time over the weekends during the day. My major question is: when I start actually dropping a feed/pumping session, what do I offer him when he's hungry when he would normally nurse? cow's milk in a cup? or solid food? water? He already eats 3 meals a day plus snacks, so will he start eating even more solid food naturally or will he still want more milk for a while?
I've started mixing some cow's milk into his bottles for daycare (about 1:3 ratio cow's milk to breast milk/formula), so I plan to slowly increase that but I'm' not sure how quickly. Increase the ratio every week?
I'm interested in historical, modern, and indigenous uses of plants in the SoCal region, particularly edible plants and natural dye sources. What are your favorite texts on the topic? Either textbooks, field guides, non-fiction, etc.
