I have the opportunity to take a lot of groups on walking tours through different neighborhoods in the city. Jeff Johnsen Executive Director, Mile High Ministries I am so grateful for this opportunity not only to come along and serve, but to learn from the families here. And, it is a privilege and we get so much back from the people here. It has opened me up to love in a way that I didn’t even know was possible. A lot of it has been unexpected, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’m also seeing that that takes time and we need to be patient for that time. I’m seeing people start to engage in the community because it’s becoming their community. It means if they’re willing, we’re willing, and we’re going to walk it together in the highs and lows. It means I have to ask some hard questions that might not be comfortable. ![]() It means actually being vulnerable on both parts as mentees and mentors to open up our lives in many ways. But it means walking through the ups and the downs, going to birthday parties, and then sometimes just having coffee and talking through some really hard life circumstances. And sometimes that means hard conversations. We’re learning what it means to just love people where they are, but also to encourage them in their goals too. Other times we’ve had the opportunity of going to some life skill classes with some of our mentees and having a little more in-depth conversation as we get to know them. Another mentor comes by, we sit on the porch and we chat. ![]() When the kids come home from school, they’ll come over and we’ll have snacks on the porch. ![]() I love sitting on the porch and when people come home, they’ll just grab a chair and we’ll visit. So, when people pull into Synergy Village, they have to go by my front porch to get to their apartments. He put that seed in our hearts 30 years ago and then here was this opportunity. It hit me that this was our “later in life” call from the Lord to serve and to come alongside neighbors to support and encourage them in their goals to greater independence. Darin and I are just blown away at how God is a completer. ![]()

It helps keep a perfect balance between every species in the environment. They are the main reason our rough fish (carp, buffalo, shad, etc.) population stays in check. Alligator Gar holds a vital role in our Texas ecosystems. They may look menacing, but it is far from it. Still, once being out in the field and studying this fish, I concluded that Alligator Gar is, in fact, one of the most docile, gentle giants you can be around. I was always told that Alligator Gar was “trash fish” and is a nuisance. ![]() My journey with this fish started some years ago, thanks to my best friend, Howard Fain. They are the fish that I have dedicated my time, blood, sweat, and tears to target full time. It takes time, patience, and most of all, a love for fishing to target.Īlligator Gar holds a special place in my heart. So, you want to learn how to catch an Alligator Gar? Before we get into the specifics, I want to let you know this fish is HARD to target. During this time, they can be found in burrows that they construct adjacent to an alligator hole or open water, but they occasionally emerge to bask in the sun during periods of warm weather.Texas Alligator Gar Fishing Tips and Tricks (How to catch Atractosteus Spatula) Alligators are dormant throughout much of the winter. They stop feeding when the ambient temperature drops below approximately 70° F, and they become dormant below 55° F. They are most active when temperatures are between 82° to 92° F. ![]() They regulate their body temperature by basking in the sun or moving to areas with warmer or cooler air or water temperatures. As an alligator population matures (and has a higher percentage of large animals), the survival rate would be expected to be lower, in part due to a higher rate of cannibalism.Īlligators are ectothermic (cold blooded). This estimate is for a growing alligator population. Incubation requires approximately 60-65 days, and hatching occurs in late August or early September.įrom an average clutch size of 35, an estimated 4 alligators will reach maturity. Females build a mound nest of soil, vegetation, or debris and deposit approximately 32 to 46 eggs in late June or early July. Courtship begins in early April, and mating occurs in May or June. A female may require 10 to 15 years and a male 8 to 12 years to reach these lengths. Nearly all alligators become sexually mature by the time they reach about 7 feet in length although females can reach maturity at 6 feet. Adult alligators eat rough fish, snakes, turtles, small mammals, and birds. Juvenile alligators eat primarily insects, amphibians, small fish, and other invertebrates. ![]() Their diets include prey species that are abundant and easily accessible. Armored plates (scutes) cover the body dorsally, and alligators have a vertically flattened tail.Īlligators are opportunistic feeders. The Florida record for weight is a 1,043 pound (13 feet 10-1/2 inches long) male from Orange Lake in Alachua County. The Florida state record for length is a 14-foot 3 1/2-inch male from Lake Washington in Brevard County. Many people associate alligators with the color green, but this misconception comes from the green algae and floating vegetation that frequently adheres to an alligator’s back.įemale alligators rarely exceed 10 feet in length, but males can grow much larger. It is not uncommon for alligators to take on the colors of their environment. American crocodiles are a brownish gray color, and are generally paler colored than alligators. Adult alligators are primarily dark gray in color with a lighter color underside, although juvenile alligators will have light colored stripes on their sides for camouflage. The American crocodile has a narrow snout, and the fourth tooth of the lower jaw protrudes when closed. Alligators have a broad, rounded snout with no lower teeth visible when their jaw is closed. Alligators can be distinguished from the American crocodile by head shape and color. The American alligator is a large aquatic reptile and is one of two crocodilians native to Florida. ![]() ![]() Ultrasound tests are best used for soft tissues, not internal structure of bones.

I still think I'm going to keep my pricey sunscreens in my rotation because I like the additional skincare benefits they give me, but I like that I can use this one on a daily basis when my skin isn't feeling aggravated or irritable.

The best part about that is that I could wear it under makeup without a white cast coming through my foundation or concealer. There was no white cast.īeauty products on the mass market are notorious for catering to light skin tones exclusively, which is why I loved seeing so many reviews of this SPF done by people of color with medium to dark skin tones. It stung and left the area under my eyes red for a couple of hours. Don't make the same mistake I did-I tested a tiny bit of this on my under-eye area one day just to see what would happen. ![]() If you have sensitive skin or eyes, I would definitely avoid that. I know some people rub their moisturizer into their hands, close their eyes, and then apply it everywhere. Here's the only (very, very important) caveat: I wouldn't put this anywhere near your eyes. But this didn't leave my skin red, dry, or broken out. Sunscreens in particular can also dry out my already parched skin. ![]() Like most people, the skin on my face is a lot more prone to acne and redness than the rest of my body. I was a bit nervous about putting a body product onto my face. To help you pick an invisible SPF that's right for you, we've tested the best sunscreens for darker skin tones, including a tinted CC cream with SPF 50, a budget-friendly sunscreen-moisturizer hybrid (hello, CeraVe!), a pretty lip balm with SPF protection, and a sunscreen made for and by women of color.$8 at Amazon $8 at Walmart Credit: Courtesy It didn't irritate my sensitive skin. While many of the benzene-contaminated products have been pulled from shelves out of an abundance of caution, you may also want to check the batch numbers (usually a 7-figure number located on the bottom of spray cans) of any sunscreens and after-sun products that you own against this list of contaminated products. Now, if you're diligent about applying sunscreen daily, you might have heard about the recent recall of some common sunscreens (including five from Neutrogena and Aveeno) after independent testing revealed that they contained traces of benzene-a known carcinogen-due to contamination. (As a reminder: You don't need a bottle of SPF 100 broad-spectrum SPF 30 is enough). The good news, though, is that thanks to recent advances with innovative textures (think: clear SPF sticks and serums, tinted creams, and non-greasy gel formulas), more skincare companies are offering sunscreens that won't leave behind any white residue. Now, we know that not all sunscreens are created equal-and, historically, a lot of those options have not been made with melanin in mind, so they end up looking chalky and unflattering. Not to mention, SPF is a critical part of any skincare routine, because “with cumulative sun exposure you can see increased fine lines, decreased elasticity, and hyperpigmentation," says dermatologist Dr. That means that anyone, no matter their skin tone, can get skin cancer-which, according to a study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, often results in a worse outcome for Black women because cancer tends to be diagnosed at a later stage. But here's the truth: While melanin does give darker complexions some sun protection, it's not enough to ward off those damaging rays. One of the biggest (and, in our opinion, most pervasive) sunscreen myths? Those with darker skin tones don't need a daily dose of SPF. ![]() |
