After their sold out show last December in Berlin and a busy touring period worldwide, including their support acts for PJ Harvey's Australian tour and festivals i.e. Big Ears Festival, Xylouris White return to Berlin for a unique performance at the Urban Spree Galerie.
Xylouris White brings together two masters of contemporary music: Jim White, a founder of the internationally acclaimed trio Dirty Three and Giorgos Xylouris (Psarogiorgis) the master lutenist who has been described as 'the future of Cretan music'.
Xylouris is the descendant of Greek music royalty. His uncle is Nikos Xylouris, a national icon whose nickname is "archangel of Crete" because his songs are hugely influential and beloved, and his dad is Antonis Xylouris, a.k.a. Psarandonis, a singer and lyra player who is well-regarded for pushing traditional folk music in new directions.
White's background, on the other hand, is decidedly post-punk; he co-founded the Dirty Three with Warren Ellis and Mick Turner in the early-'90s and went on to collaborate with Will Oldham, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, and many more. He's a magnificent, multi-faceted, and sensitive drummer with the perfect mix of ferocity and finesse.
Together Xylouris White have created a new and compelling blend of melody and rhythm.
Jim and Psarogiorgis first played together in Melbourne. Since then they have been on a wonderful journey across three continents. Although these new experiences have added many riches neither has lost touch with the best of their diverse traditions.

I love the iPad on about 100 levels, and plenty of vendors beyond Apple will grow rich off me. My spending on iBooks alone will keep some publisher's kid in braces.
But I'm hoping that very soon journalists across this nation will realize they need to set common-sense subscription rates for their material, even if it's in electronic form.
The Sports Illustrated app for the iPad is remarkable. Photos jump off the beautiful iPad screen. A touch on the screen reveals the stats related to any article, as well as more archived material. It has that terrific SI writing. And, best of all, the app is free.
But, like crack, they give you a tiny taste for free because they know you'll be back for more. Then, they expect you to pay $4.99 per weekly edition. The print version — which, let's face it, just isn't as cool — costs $39 a year. Surely, somewhere between $39 and $259 there lies a more sensible subscription rate.
To me, though, SI is not the worst offender. Until recently, I was a happy subscriber to the print and online editions of the Wall Street Journal.
I considered the annual subscription to be an indulgence for myself, but also a reasonable price. Then I bought my iPad and happily looked for the WSJ app. Again, they expected more than $200 a year for a subscription to material that is certainly based on the same source material as the print and online editions. And they gave no price break to folks who already subscribed to one of the other formats.
It made me so mad, I cancelled all my subscriptions.
I worked in the print media for 30 years, and I do think that online content should generate a profit for its producer. I'm willing to pay for quality writing and reporting. I'm just not willing to pay a gouger's rates.
I hope market demand straightens this out soon.

The Mathers Museum of World Cultures is starting October with a variety of festive programs geared toward both students and the Bloomington community.
One of these is the Mathers After Hours "Mister Lonely" Costume Party, taking place at 7 p.m. today.
The party invites attendees to dress up in the costume of their choice and enjoy the screening of the film, chosen by Pravina Shukla, associate professor of folklore at IU.
Sarah Hatcher, head of programs and education for the Mathers, said the film covers a topic that ties into Themester: Beauty and also relates to one of the museum's current exhibitions, "Costume: Beauty, Meaning, and Identity in Dress," also curated by Shukla.
"I wasn't familiar with films that dealt with living your life in costume, and this is what she recommended," Hatcher said. "This looks like something quirky and fun — a good way to connect between Themester and First Thursday."
This event will be taking place following this month's First Thursdays Festival tonight, thrown by the Eskenazi Museum of Art and including a variety of other art and cultural institutions on campus, such as the African American Dance Company and IU Opera Theater.
The film "Mister Lonely" follows characters who dress up as popular figures, such as Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin, in their daily lives.
The museum's current costume-based exhibition takes the idea of costume in society and explores the transformative nature of costume.
Hatcher said she hopes this event will allow students in attendance to express their silliness and creativity.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of costumes people come up with and if they let out their inner child," Hatcher said. "Sometimes college kids can be reluctant to bust out the construction paper and glue. It will be interesting to see whether or not people allow themselves to do that."
As part of the First Thursdays Festival itself, the Mathers will have a limestone carving demonstration in the Showalter Plaza starting at 5 p.m. The 10th Annual Day of the Dead Altar will also open this Friday.
The altar will be available for viewing and contribution during regular museum hours.
The altar was created at the now-closed Wandering Turtle Art Gallery in 2006 and moved to the Mathers after the gallery closed, according to Michael Redman, one of the curators.
Redman said the most touching part of taking down and putting up the altar each year is the connection to the many participants via the items they leave and the handwritten letters they write, which he catalogues each year after the altar goes down.
"Some of them are really touching and sad, and some are more joyous," Redman said. "Every year, some grade school classes come, so kids leave notes. Some of those are especially touching, because it's preteen kids talking to their grandparents or whoever has died."
Redman said each year the altar grows. Some of the items are as simple as a deck of cards, candy or an empty bottle of tequila or indicators of who the lost person was.
"I have some offerings there, for my parents and grandparents and my cat, it means that, to me personally, that I have some involvement with it," Redman said. "Probably more what it means to me is that it's a community thing, it's available there for a month for anyone who wants to leave things. Sometimes, people run into people they know there and have conversations about people who died."
The most important aspect of the altar is the idea that anyone, no matter what their cultural or religious background, can leave something at the community altar, which brings together people from all walks of life to participate in a tradition which is rooted in Mexican culture, Redman said.
The larger goal of such events and exhibitions is to allow those who may not have an explicit reason to visit the museum an opportunity to see what the Mathers has to offer, Hatcher said.
"What I want is for every IU student to walk through our door at least once during their academic career," Hatcher said. "Hopefully, the events we have this week and through the rest of the month are enticements for people to come and discover this hidden treasure."

Many scholars have proposed that teachers are the root to enhance the quality of our education in Hong Kong. What are the qualifications for this work? Surely, "knowledge, skills, attitude" are indispensable. In other words, training a high quality teacher cannot be done in just a few months. On the contrary, opportunities should be continuously provided for them to grow. Hong Kong Baptist University, Department of Education Studies, side by side with the local education development, has been at the forefront in launching new courses. In 2004, "Subject Teaching and Subject Knowledge (STSK)" series is one of the best examples to show our commitment to the education of Hong Kong.
Regarding the offering of continuing professional development for teachers, the Advisory Committee on Teacher Education and Qualifications recommends teacher training institution "work together in partnership with schools to plan and design school-based and personal continuing professional development courses in order to accompany individual teachers and changing needs of the teaching profession". As one of the teacher training institutions in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Baptist University, Department of Education Studies, believes that a balanced development of teachers is beneficial for the advancement of local education.
It is quite demanding for teachers to face teaching, administrative and student issues, and also make time for continuous education at the same time. With limited time and space, what then is the way to actively pursue further studies effectively and systematically, and also conveniently so as to enhance personal qualities? Effort from all parties is essential. Hong Kong Baptist University, Department of Education Studies, Continuing Professional Development Unit, is actively creating various short-term courses to sustain the process of teachers' development.
Continuing Professional Development Committee
Department of Education Studies
Hong Kong Baptist University
Mission and Goal
The establishment of the Teachers Continuing Professional Development Committee is in response to the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Teacher Education and Qualifications Committee. According to the report "Learning Professional, Professional Learning – Teacher Competencies Framework and teachers continuing professional development" issued in November 2003, where it was suggested that the teacher training institutions should "work together in partnership with schools to plan and design school-based and personal continuing professional development courses in order to accompany individual teachers and changing needs of the teaching profession development"
In the view of this background, the "Teacher Continuing Professional Development Unit" formulated a long-term work plan with the following two objectives:
To provide:
- front-line educators and administrative decision makers with all kinds of innovative and effective professional development courses to suit individual teachers and the changing needs of teachers' profession development
- our front-line educators and administrative decision-makers, with a platform of practical experience for school management, curriculum reform, curriculum design, teaching activities, through the exchange of practical experience, observations and learning in an attempt to improve the teaching and quality of school management
Summary of continuing professional development of teachers
Since the beginning in 2002, principals began a 150-hour course of principal continuing education over three years. At the same time, the Continuing Professional Development policy (CPD) for primary and secondary school teachers, in alignment with the report "Learning Professional, Professional Learning – Teacher Professional Competencies Framework and Teachers Continuing Professional Development" by the Advisory Committee on Teacher Education and Qualifications Committee, was officially launched and initiated a period of three year continuous professional development of teachers as a "trial period."
The report made clear the importance of continuing education of teachers, and further established the concept that teachers must engage in a process of continuous education. Through the implementation of specific policies, primary and secondary school teachers were encouraged to conduct more systematic continuing professional development programmes within this framework to further enhance the quality of teaching.
To enable front-line educators to gain a more in-depth understanding of the impact of "teachers continuing professional development" on all in-service teachers,. this article brings together the relevant information and offers some brief discussion on the issue.

- The 150 hours includes self-education and school-affair related professional development activities, of which not less than 50 hours needs to involve systematic study (for example: participation in local / overseas conferences, short courses, seminars and conferences, overseas study tour, workshops, education bachelor's or master's programs, etc.); also not less than 50 hours should involve other kinds of continuing professional development activities (for example, joining teaching activities, sharing their good or innovative teaching methods with educators inside/outside school, sharing reading experience and the related concept of the teaching profession, teaching mentoring, action learning in studying group, participating in educational affairs committee and serving as an advisor for professional development activities / promotion, etc.);
- commencing in the 2003, the three-year "trial period" will allow schools and teachers to explore and try professional development content, weight?, resources, and records of such things; school can flexible carry out throughout the "trial period" appropriate times for the activities according to the school and teachers' own circumstances through teacher consultation and the spirit of school-based development,

- both teachers and schools were required to systematically preserve relevant records. Records would include two parts: of the professional development cycle (i) plans set out after discussion, as well as (ii) the actual conduct of the continuing education activities.
Content of the "Teacher Competencies Framework"

Assembly Radio is putting South Africa's music scene at your fingertips.
Our Manifesto
The Assembly venue was founded on the idea of showcasing good music. And deep down, we all pretty much know what that is. It's definitely not the trash that infects our speakers every time we tune in to an FM station. With presenters that have long since sold out. And with programming and playlists planned by accountants, trend advisors and not music lovers.
We knew we could be better. We knew we could give music lovers more of what they love. And it's pretty simple: good music. Not one specific taste, not one specific genre, not one specific idea – but good music of all kinds, presented by people that actually care about it.
That is why we founded the Assembly Radio. Because we want to tune in too.
We're Online
We're online because online is now everywhere. Internet connections are getting cheaper all the time and online we can do whatever we want, without having to subject ourselves to the scrutiny of any broadcasting board requirements.
Our stream is gorgeous. If you know a little about tech, we're playing out at 48Kbps through compression technology which means good crisp highs, deep bass and clean mids. Our state-of-the-art studio kit is sourced by our friends at Paul Bothner Music to ensure that we get great quality at an efficient bit rate. You can turn it up loud. You could throw a party with it. It's Neighbour Annoyance Approved. (TM) And the best part is that it's only:
So enjoy. We're enjoying bringing you the best music we can find.

Look around the web to various sites on tactical training. Check the pictures of participants if any are offered.
What do you see besides descriptions of well-done small unit tactics, combat riflecraft, patrolling or other SHTF skill sets?
Typically well-chosen field uniform patterns that blend in to the surrounding terrain well. Majority of rifles and equipment similarly patterned.
Exceptions: Hands exposed by wearing no gloves or no paint (when wearing gloves, solid black is as bad as not painting or wearing gloves at all….) and nice clean faces. Not even a matching or coyote bandanna.
That's not good, because it underscores a false sense of security that if a good clothing pattern is worn, equipment is painted, and gloves are worn, the human attempting to avoid detection won't be seen. Just as in small unit tactics or combat riflecraft, understanding the concepts and principles of camouflage, cover and concealment aren't enough. The participant has to apply the concepts and principles every time in order to make the knowledge become second nature, and thus, usable in a situation where the skill is needed.
Reasons folks don't actually paint up? Well, the one DTG staff have heard the most is this: "It's a pain in the a$$…." Another good one, when honest answers are given, is: "I'll cake that stuff on in a real situation, but for now, I don't want to…."
Some folks will try to do the easy thing by using a bandanna, but that doesn't work well except in emergency situations as they have a tendency to fall down below the nose leaving the cheekbones and forehead exposed. The camouflage hoods have a tendency to restrict vision if the eyeholes are too small, and if they're too big, there'll be two really nice pink circles equally spaced apart on that bush the wearer is trying to emulate.
Bottom line: If you're going to the expense of camouflaging your weapon and equipment and buying a good clothing pattern, go the rest of the way, even in a training class you're paying for, and paint your exposed skin. Get some gloves that blend in to the surrounding terrain. If you don't know how to do it, practice at home, or ask your instructor for some tips. These guys are professionals. They'll help you. After all, they're teaching cover and concealment in everything else their courses offer.
As we go forward, and DTG's classes are conducted, we'll make sure to have any pictures posted demonstrate the concepts above.

Road trip safety advice – My top 5 tips
Posted in: Uncategorized
So you wanted to have a classic yet fun experience for your next vacation, and you have decided to go on a road trip.
And we cannot agree more with your choice.
There is something truly novel about hitting the highway, feel the wind on your face, spending the nights in motels, exploring the less-travelled destinations alongside the road and just being free. But navigating the long and unknown highways and driving for such long hours can be really taxing and tough.
That is why being safe is the most important thing when you go for a road trip.
Here are the top 5 Road trip safety tips which you must remember before you drive out for a road trip.
1. Equip your car with a backup camera
Backup cameras are not only used for reversing your car, they also eliminate blind spots for you. These cameras also flip the image horizontally, so the video you see is consistent with what you see in the mirror as well.
If your car doesn't already have one, you can use TadiBrothers to install a backup camera before you head out for a road trip. Having a backup camera will surely make navigating those unknown roads much easier.
2. Don't forget your road safety emergency kit
One of the most common and major mistakes people do before going on a road trip is that they don't check if proper emergency items are in the car. You have to make sure that you have a proper emergency kit in your car before you head out.
A proper road safety emergency kit should include a first-aid kit, a flashlight, water bottles, a towel, jumper cables and a multi-purpose tool.
3. Tune up your car
Tuning up your car is something which you just have to do before you go for a road trip. It doesn't matter if you had taken your car to the shop just a week ago. You need to make sure that each and everything is in top-notch condition before you take your car for that long a drive.
Especially remember to get your battery, tires, belts, air conditioner (learn about the best ac units), and fluids checked.
4. Be safe from the sun
As you will be spending a lot of time on the road during your holiday, it is really important to be 'sun-smart' during your trip. Remember to carry sunscreen lotions and sunglasses for everyone.
Also, if you are travelling with kids, you may want to get a sunshade for the backseat. Always keep the seats covered with blankets or towels when you leave the car, so that the seats do not get too hot from the sun.
5. Driving posture is important
Going on a road trip obviously means long hours of driving continuously. That is why you need to make sure that your driving posture is absolutely spot on. Driving with a bad posture can cause several issues like back pain, headache etc. which can, in turn, ruin your vacation.
Always sit up straight while driving, adjust your seat according to your height so that you can have a clear view of the road and use a lumbar support while you are on the wheel.

Suitability - What is it good for?
As a prosumer ultra-zoom, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is among the most complete fixed-lens cameras and is extremely versatile. Surely the incredible 24X zoom range which starts at an ultra-wide 25mm, reaching a super-telephoto 600mm, is its greatest asset. This range of focal-length covers most photographic needs from architecture to wildlife with everything in between.
This digital camera also offers a complete set of manual controls including a shutter-speed range of 1/2000s to 60s. This makes it highly suitable for creative photography. The fastest shutter-speed is quick enough to freeze most action while the slowest is long enough for night photography including light trails. Having manual focus available greatly helps since low-light photography is often problematic for autofocus.
The high-speed CMOS sensor and mechanical shutter can shoot continuously at 11 FPS, which is faster than even professional DSLRs. This is ideal for fast action that occurs at a fixed distance from the photographer since the FZ100 is unable to autofocus at those speeds. Dropping down to a respectable 5 FPS, the FZ100 can follow moving subjects which is great for sports photography. There are also low-resolution high-speed drive modes up to 60 FPS which are useful to capture precise moments.
The limitations of the FZ100 are all inherent from its small sensor size. This is the case for all ultra-zooms but not for DSLRs and most ILCs. Given its sensor-size, the FZ100 is not suitable for low-light hand-held photography such as indoor and social events. There is also a limitation in terms of creativity due to the relatively high depth-of-field produced by small sensors like the one used here. Still, far away subjects can be isolated from the background by using the incredibly long zoom of this digital camera.
The small sensor is actually an asset for macro photography which often suffers from too little depth-of-field. Thanks to a minimum focus distance of 1cm, the FZ100 can capture tiny objects like jewelry in great details.
Usability - How easy is it to use?
This ultra-zoom is designed along the lines of a miniature DSLR with a well-defined hand-grip, protruding lens barrel and combined viewfinder and flash housing hump. This makes the Panasonic FZ100 comfortable to hold and easy to keep steady. The electronic viewfinder protrudes nicely from the back to keep the photographer from pressing against the camera too much.
The shutter-release is located at the top of grip. It is a standard two-stage release with a soft halfway point. A variable speed zoom-controller is wrapped around the release. The lens moves quickly, going across the 24X zoom in just under 4s. It moves in fine steps, making it possible to zoom with good precision.
Just behind the shutter-release is the dedicated Video Record button. Pressing it starts video capture up to two seconds later and stops recording immediately when pressed again. Using this button, video can be recorded in any exposure-mode with two important caveats:
- Video exposure remains automatic in all exposure modes except Manual Video, as explained in more details below.
- The EVF and LCD can only show correct framing for video or stills. Therefore it either the shutter-release or the video-capture button becomes useless.
Further behind the Video Record button is a very small Continuous Drive button. Being one of the FZ100's headline features, there are 7 continuous drive modes:
- 2 AF - Shoots at continuously at 2 FPS using the mechanical shutter and focusing between each shot. Up to 100 shots can be captured in a single burst.
- 2 - Shoots at continuously at 2 FPS using the mechanical shutter and focusing on the first shot only. Up to 100 shots can be captured in a single burst.
- 5 AF - Shoots at continuously at 5 FPS using the mechanical shutter and focusing between each shot. Up to 100 shots can be captured in a single burst.
- 5 - Shoots at continuously at 5 FPS using the mechanical shutter and focusing on the first shot only. Up to 100 shots can be captured in a single burst.
- 11 - Shoots continuously at 11 FPS using the mechanical shutter, focusing and metering on the first shot. Up to 15 shots can be captured in a single burst.
- 40 - Shoots continuously 5 megapixel images at 40 FPS using the electronic shutter, focusing and metering on the first shot. Up to 50 shots can be captured in a single burst.
- 60 - Shoots continuously 2.5 megapixel images at 60 FPS using the electronic shutter while focusing and metering on the first shot only. Pixels are taken from the center of the sensor, so the field-of-view is greatly reduced. Up to 60 shots can be captured in a single burst.
At the back edge of the top plate is a simple power slider. It protrudes enough to be easily used and has a strong detent to prevent accidental use. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 remembers all settings except the Self-Timer. Optionally, it can remember the zoom position and manual focus distance. If one does repeated shots such as when capturing a time-lapse, it is very useful to have those settings remembered should the memory card or battery need changing.
The FZ100 features a busy mode-dial with 14 positions. The standard PASM exposure modes are all there. iA is the fully automated mode. This one allows to set EC but fixed ISO and WB on Auto. It only allows maximum resolution continuous drive modes and single-shot self-timers. There are also six scene-modes with there own positions plus a SCN position that gives access to a menu of 17 scene modes. Of those 17 scene modes, 13 are typical, while the following 4 are worth mentioning:
- Panorama Assist - Helps line-up images for making a panorama photo. Images can be taken in any direction which is chosen upon entering Panorama Assist mode. The FZ100 goes beyond other panorama assist modes in letting each shot be retaken before proceeding to the next one. This is immensely useful and kudos to Panasonic for thinking about this! A typical use case is when capturing a panorama of a large plaza. Shots may need to be retaken due to passing vehicles or people.
- Flash Burst - Takes pictures continuously with the flash firing along each image.
- Panning - Instructs the stabilizer to only compensate for vertical shake. There is an Program and Shutter-Priority variant of this mode.
- High-Speed Movie - Records video at 320x240 @ 220 FPS, capturing a high-speed scene to play it back in slow motion, at least 7X slower than reality.
There is a Custom position on the mode-dial to recall settings from one of three memories. The final mode on the mode dial is Manual Movie mode. In this mode the camera can record video using PASM exposure modes. Since the camera has to use an electronic shutter to record video, speeds up to 1/20000s can be selected. Oddly, the minimum shutter-speed is 1/30s, even when recording video at 60 FPS. The FZ100 is the first ultra-zoom to capture true 1080i video, rather than progressive video stored as interlaced. So, only half of each frame gets saved when recording full HD. For 720p, this camera stores the full 60 FPS in AVCHD format or 30 FPS in MPEG-4 format.
Movie mode always shows the correct framing for video and shortens the time it takes for recording to start to just over one second. In this mode, both the shutter-release and the dedicated video-record button can be used to start filming.
The last remaining items on the top plate are a standard hot-shoe for external flashes, the built-in popup flash and a stereo microphone. The microphone includes a built-in wind-filter which is activated from the Motion Picture menu. The microphone can optionally be coupled with the zoom lens so that it records sounds from a narrower field when the lens zooms in.
The back of the camera is dominated be a large rotating 3" LCD with 230K pixels. The hinge allows the LCD to be rotated 180° outwards and 270° vertically but is rather flimsy and probably the least durable part of this digital camera. Visibility of the LCD is superb with an awesome antireflective coating that does its job extremely well. It has a very good angle-of-view.
The view on the LCD and EVF is not Exposure-Priority until the shutter is press halfway. When pressed halfway, the preview is mostly correct, providing a good approximation of exposure. There is a note in the manual saying that the live-histogram turns yellow when the displayed image does not show the correct brightness. Since the displays are not exposure-priority, it turns yellow as soon as an EC is dialed-in! Also, it is far more often wrong than right. The first issue is that it is based on the displayed brightness and not the metered one. This means that when the shutter is pressed halfway, the live-histogram frequently adjusts itself. Even so, it is unfortunately off by about 1/3 EV, inciting over-compensation for high contrast scenes.
Above the rear LCD, there is a small 0.2" EVF with 200K pixels which is usable for framing. The low resolution makes it impossible to confirm focus and difficult to dicern fine subject details. A small button towards the right toggles between the EVF and LCD. Both framing and playback are possible using the EVF, with a confuration option to always use the LCD when entering Playback mode. A bit further right is the AE-L/AF-L button which is customizable to perform AE-L, AF-L or both. To the left of the EVF is a mechanical flash-release button.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 has a single control-dial to set exposure parameters. The dial doubles as a button to cycle between parameters and EC as needed. In Program mode, it cycles between EC and Program-Shift. In Aperture-Priority and Shutter-Priority it toggles between the exposure parameter and EC. In Manual, it toggles between Aperture and Shutter-Speed. The modality of this system makes it easy to inadvertantly set EC instead of the exposure parameter. In Manual Focus mode, the control-dial also cycles to set the focus distance. While the control-dial turns easility, it is too flush with the back to be used with gloves on.
To the right of the rotating LCD are most remaining controls of the FZ100. All these buttons are on the small side but only Playback is difficult to use since it is completely flush with the surface of the camera. We would say the placement is questionable given that Display and Playback are more accessible than far more important controls like ISO and Self-Timer. There is a button for EC which is redundant with the control-dial's button function. The Q.Menu button which is the lowest brings up a menu to change secondary camera setttings.
The 4-way controller which is used to navigate menus is made of 5 separate buttons, each assigned a function:
- Up: Brings up the redundant EC function, AEB and FC. EC is available ±3 EV in 1/3 increments. FC is available ±2 in 1/3 increments. AEB always takes 3 frames with interval between 1/3 and 3 EV, selectable in 1/3 increments.
- ISO: Selects the ISO between 100 and 1600, plus one of two Auto modes. Standard Auto ISO mode selects an ISO based on light-levels. Intelligent Auto ISO selects and ISO based on subject movement.
- Fn: This one can be customized to set one of: Film Mode, Aspect Ratio, Image Quality, Metering, White-Balance, Intelligent Exposure, Guides, Rec Area and Remaining Space. The most useful option is probably WB for those shooting JPEG and Exposure for those shooting RAW.
- Self-Timer: Selects between a 2s, 10s or tripple 10s timer. One a shot is taken, the Self-Timer resets itself. It also prematurely resets itself when changing exposure modes and when entering the main menu, but not the Quick Menu. Tripod shooters are likely to find this rather annoying.
The last controls on the FZ100 are a focus button and a 3-way switch on the lens barrel which selects between AF, Macro AF and MF mode. The focus button triggers autofocus in MF mode to set the starting point for fine-tuning focus. Otherwise, it can take a really long time to move focus to where it is desired.
The bottom of the camera reveals a combined battery and memory compartment plus a metal tripod mount. The tripod mount is neither inline with the optical center of the lens nor the center of gravity of the camera, making it less tha ideal for usual tasks.
Performance - How well does it take pictures?
To pack a whopping 24X optical zoom lens in a camera this size, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 uses a tiny sensor so that its 4.5-108mm lens equates to 25-600mm in 35mm terms. This is the case for all current ultra-zooms and perfectly represents the compromise offered by this type of camera. This huge zoom range means flexibility while the small sensor sets expectations of limited image quality, particularly at the density of the this digital camera which captures 14 megapixels images. As a comparison, to offer the same optical zoom range with high image quality requires at least 3 lenses and a Micro Four-Thirds SLD with just one lens costing more than the FZ100 itself.
The Panasonic FZ100 shows noticeable image noise starting at its base ISO of 100. It is not overly destructive and it increases slightly at ISO 200. Both these settings can produce nice medium-size prints. Noise reduction softness kicks in at ISO 400 which does a decent job at hiding excessive noise. Depending on subject tonality, this ISO can still be used for an 8x12" print. It will not stand close inspection but should be very presentable at normal viewing distances.
ISO 800 and 1600 show a strong increase in softness, effectively hiding image noise and fine details. Despite offering 5 levels of Noise-Reduction, there is no way to avoid this with the FZ100. The lowest setting damages all fine details and the ones above that even more. There is a Low-Light Scene Mode which uses pixel binning to produce lower resolution images at ISO 1600 to 6400 but it produces noisy images with obliterated details.
While there are a number of color modes, called Film Modes, which can be fine-tuned in terms of contrast and saturation, the FZ100 is incapable of producing images with realistic colors. There is a RAW format option which can be used to get around this by those willing to take the time to process RAW data using a custom color profile. Film Modes can also be tweaked in terms of Sharpness. The default is probably best as images quickly get soft or over-sharpened away from that setting.
White-Balance is excellent on the FZ100. The Automatic option copes very well with various types of artificial light and performs impeccably outdoors. Custom WB is very accurate as well. There is also fine-tuning in 19 steps along 2 axis to refine white-balance when needed, which thankfully rarely happens.
The multi-segment metering system used by this digital camera is generally good. It has an occasional tendency to over-expose bright backgrounds. Foreground exposure is usually good except that the live- histogram often misleads the photographer into thinking otherwise. Still, exposure is rarely off by more than 1/3 EV.
The Leica branded lens on the FZ100 is probably quite sharp but high image noise hides this somewhat. Still, at ISO 100, details are acceptable clear at the center of the frame. There is a very gradual increase in softness towards corners which never gets extremely soft. Optical distortion is noticeable but quite weak towards the ultra-wide end of the zoom. At other focal-lengths though, distortion is pretty much invisible. Purple fringing is not a problem with this lens either.
One of the advantages of using a CMOS sensor is that it gives high-speed capabilities. The FZ100 particularly is generally fast and even shows class-leading performance in terms of continuous drive. Panasonic gave this digital camera a very quick mechanical shutter which can cycle at 11 FPS. This makes it the fastest to use a mechanical shutter among all types of cameras, including much more expensive SLRs and SLDs. As noted above in the Suitability section of this review, the FZ100 cannot focus between shots at such high speeds. For that, it has to slow down to 5 FPS which is still faster than most fixed-lens cameras.
The following performance numbers characterize the performance of this camera:
- Startup: Normally 2 seconds. If the Lens Resume option is enabled, it may take up to 4 seconds. Average for an ultra-zoom.
- Shutdown: Between 1½ and 4 seconds, depending on the lens position. Average to slow compared to similar cameras.
- Zoom: 3½ seconds for the entire 24X zoom range. Reasonable for such a long electronic zoom.
- Autofocus: ½ in good light, all the way to 3 seconds in less than ideal lighting. This is quick to glacially slow.
- Shutter-Lag: ¼ second. Relatively good.
- Shot-to-Shot: At least 3 seconds, takes longer in low-light due to noise-reduction. Certainly slower than average.
While this shows some good numbers, the FZ100 is more variable than most digital cameras. Of particular concern is the autofocus speed which is rather quick in bright outdoors locations but quickly drops in typical indoor conditions. In low light, autofocus becomes extremely slow and gives up often after trying to lock focus for several seconds.
Video performance is mixed as well. At full HD, the FZ100 captures 60 Fields-Per-Second and creates a 1080i stream. This leaves interlacing artifacts which are particularly visible when the camera is panned. Details are well captured and exposure adjusts gradually during filming. What it does extremely well is keep things in focus while recording. The default video focus mode is AF-C which follows moving subjects rather well.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 uses a large proprietary Lithium-Ion battery which supplies 410 shots per charge according the CIPA standard. While this a good enough for a typical day of shooting, it is considerably below average among large ultra-zooms.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 is a feature-rich ultra-zoom with a class-leading high-speed continuous drive. Within its ergonomic body, this digital camera packs an extremely versatile 24X optical zoom lens of exceptional quality.
In brightly lit conditions, the Panasonic FZ100 delivers very usable images quickly thanks to its fast autofocus system which can be used at speeds up to 5 FPS. Color and exposure may not be perfect but they are not so far off either. Darker conditions are more stressful to the FZ100 and it would be hard to recommend this model for indoor photography.
The FZ100 is a good candidate for photography during certain types of travel like tours where people often visit sites in bright daylight and the entire group is moving quickly from place to place. Having an all-in-one camera like this one for such occasions means that lots of photos can be taken with a variety of focal-lengths without slowing others down.

Lammas is one of the 8 pagan Sabbats and falls on August 1st. It's also known as Lughnasadh.
Lammas is a grain festival, and a day to celebrate the first of the three harvests. It's named for the Celtic sun god, Lugh.
Rituals were performed with the frist grains or vegetables of the harvest, to ensure further success. You might decorate your altar with corn or grain. Celebrate and enjoy a meal of farm fresh veggies or bake some corn bread!
Litha is another of the 8 Sabbats and is around June 21st. Being a solstice, it's the longest day of the year, and also known as Midsummer.
It is a day to celebrate the abundance of the land and continued fertility. Fairies are about on this day, and it is a best day of the year for magick. You might decorate your altar with fresh herbs or blooming wildflowers. Celebrate by gathering some wild herbs, waking at sunrise to greet the sun, or having a BBQ!
The spirits that are worshipped in the religion of Vodou. The Loa are not truly gods, but are considered intermediaries between the Supreme God and mankind. It is sometimes written Lwa.

United Engineers - Centenarian with Prized Commercial Portfolio
- Established centennial Singapore company with key businesses which are subject to a potential take-over as major shareholders look to exit.
- Substantial portion of prized commercial portfolio are on either 999-year leasehold or freehold titles.
- Upside for acquirer comes from active leasing of empty space while more capex is needed to spruce up an ageing portfolio.
The Business
- A cleaner "real estate play" after a series of divestments of non-core assets in the last two years, with prized commercial portfolio. United Engineers is a diversified conglomerate with businesses in real estate, engineering and distribution.
- Since 2014, the group has looked to focus on its hospitality and real estate divisions and started to divest its noncore assets since 2014 in a bid to streamline its businesses.
Potential take-over prospects as major shareholders look to sell out.
- Major shareholders, OCBC, Great Eastern and affiliates, have announced a potential sale of their combined stake of c.32% of the stock and according to media reports, received bids by different consortiums for their stake, which include the likes of Ascendas-Singbridge, Perennial Real Estate, among others.
- Given the heighted interest in the firm, we believe that an offer could turn exuberant. A sale could spark a general offer, based on SGX listing rules.
- The jewels of the portfolio are well-positioned assets – UE Bizhub City (UE Square), One North mixed development, as well as UE Bizhub West which are strategically located at the fringe of the Central Business District (CBD) or in key suburban commercial districts.
The Stock
- Our target price of S$2.89 is based on 1.0x P/NAV, based on historical transactions for developer's acquisition. Our revalued NAV (RNAV) for UE at S$3.30/share is at a 20% premium to NAV of S$2.75/share.
- The stock is currently trading c.6% below our price target of S$2.89.
What is in it for acquirers.
- Apart from acquiring a commercial portfolio that sits on substantially FH/999-LH land and upside to earnings through active leasing of empty spaces, we believe that more capital expenditure is needed to spruce up the portfolio in order to remain relevant to tenant needs. This could point to higher values in the medium term.
- Lacklustre sales and lease for the China projects, Chengdu Orchard Villa and Shenyang Orchard Summer Palace.
Return *: 2
Risk: Moderate
Potential Target 12-mth* : S$ 2.89 (-2% downside)

Remember Snow Patrol?
For many of you, this is an "OMG, yes, I remember them and that 'Chasing Cars' song from Grey's Anatomy" moment. And for the die-hard fans, it's an "of course I remember them and have waited six long years for new music and to see their faces again live" moment.
Well, good news: Snow Patrol has a stellar album out — Wildness, which dropped in May — and the Irish-bred rockers are touring all over the USA.
For some of these dates, the quintet will open for Ginger Jesus himself, Ed Sheeran, and for others, the band will be rockin' solo, more intimate gigs. For its South Florida show, Snow Patrol will headline the Hard Rock Event Center in Hollywood Tuesday, November 6.
"For eight to ten years there, we went album, tour, album, tour... and we just got a bit worn out by it," lead singer Gary Lightbody says. "We didn't intentionally take six years off, but it happened. Now we all feel fresh, unified, and the show is full of energy. If you're a musician, the live show should be the best part of your day, and it definitely is for us now, for sure."
You can feel that revived joy deeply ingrained in Wildness too. It's a ten-track delight that doesn't stray far from Snow Patrol's long-standing brand of lyrical brilliance combined with anthemic rock.
A highlight is its latest single, "Empress," which boasts rallying lyrics such as "So standing in the steady throne of restless hope/You don't feel like an outcast anymore/And something deep inside of you has woken up/And you know that nothing's gonna be the same again."
Lightbody says the tune was inspired by his goddaughters, who dove into social and political happenings in their teens. He wrote the song from a perspective of imagining how he'd see the world, in a wider sense, as a teenager. "It's about finding that joy, connectivity, peace, and understanding around you... You try for it, reach for it and want what's best for the world."
Speaking of wanting what's best, Lightbody and company are superhappy for their buddy Sheeran and everything he's become. Fun fact: Sheeran opened for Snow Patrol on its 2012 U.S. tour.

"He has every right to turn into a bit of a diva at this point," Lightbody says. "But he is still the same person he was before and still the same person we knew when we first met him. It's quite a triumph in this modern age where fame can be the highest currency... that somebody can remain unaffected. It's a testament to the way he was raised, and he deserves his success more than anybody."
Next year will mark 25 years of Snow Patrol's existence. With such a milestone on the horizon, are they planning another long hiatus?
"No... we're going to be around," Lightbody laughs. "We have music in the works, and there's not going to be a situation like that again."
Snow Patrol. 8 p.m. Tuesday, November 6, at Hard Rock Event Center, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood. Tickets cost $30 to $70 via ticketmaster.com.

Federal prosecutors on Friday accused former Miami Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia's ex-chief of staff of secretly financing a ringer tea-party candidate in 2010 to draw votes away from a Republican rival — an illegal scheme that inspired a more serious copycat case two years later.
Jeffrey Garcia was charged with conspiracy to give a campaign contribution of less than $25,000, a misdemeanor offense. Prosecutors say Garcia, no relation to the former congressman, put up the $10,440 qualifying fee for the shadow candidate, Jose Rolando "Roly" Arrojo, to pose as a GOP primary challenger to David Rivera.

Filesystem encryption manager
fsencrypt -c cmd [-d domain] [-f] [-K .|:|+|#|@key [-ooffset]] [-k .|:|+|#|@key [-ooffset]] [-l log_path] [-n value] -p path [-r] [-t type] [-v[v...]]
- -c cmd
- The command to run (see below).
- -d domain
- The domain number to be used (1–100).
- -f
- If path is a directory, make the move or remove action on the files as well.
- -K key
- Specify a secondary key, in the same form as for -k.
- -k key
- Specify key data in one of the following forms:
- .salt.str — a 64-bit salt value expressed as a string of bytes in hexadecimal digits that may be postfixed to a plain-text string
- :setup — a command string used with the
setup command.
The string format is:
- +str — a user-supplied plain-text string, to be hashed into a 512-bit key
- #str — a base-64 representation of a key, which must be 512 bits long
- @file — the name of a file that contains binary key data, which must be 512 bits long
- -l log_path
- The path of the log file to use (stdout is the default).
- -n value
- Specify a secondary value that some commands require.
- -o offset
- ("oh") An offset into a key file specified with the -K@ or -k@ option.
- -p path
- The mountpoint of a Power-Safe ( fs-qnx6.so ) filesystem, or a file in the filesystem, depending on the command.
- -r
- If path is a directory, take action on the entire tree.
- -t type
- Used in the creation of a domain to set the encryption mechanism.
The supported types include:
- 0 — no encryption
- 1 — AES-256, in XTS mode. The two keys are randomly generated.
- 2 — AES-256, in CBC mode
- -v[v...]
- Be verbose; each v increases the level of verbosity. If you don't turn on verbosity, some commands indicate success or failure only by fsencrypt's exit status.
The fsencrypt utility manages the encryption of a Power-Safe ( fs-qnx6.so ) filesystem. In order to use fsencrypt, you must have formatted the filesystem with the -E option for mkqnx6fs , and then specified crypto=enable for fs-qnx6.so.
The commands that you can specify with the -c option are given below, along with the other options that you must specify for each command:
- change-key
- Change a domain key:
fsencrypt -p path -c change-key -d domain -k old_key -K new_key
- check
- Check for support of encryption on a given filesystem:
fsencrypt -p path -c check
- check-key
- Verify that the key given is is valid against a domain:
fsencrypt -p path -c check-key -d domain -k key
- create
- Create a domain:
fsencrypt -p path -c create -d domain -k key -t type
The new domain is unlocked.
- destroy
- Destroy a domain.
The domain must be unlocked, and you must be in the group that owns the mountpoint:
fsencrypt -p path -c destroy -d domain
If you destroy a domain, you won't be able to access any of its contents because they'll be encrypted and the domain's encryption key will have been destroyed. The contents remain in the filesystem until you delete them.
- enable
- Enable encryption support on a volume that wasn't set up for it at formatting time:
fsencrypt -p path -c enable
- get
- Determine the domain that the given path belongs to:
fsencrypt -p path -c get
- lock
- Lock a domain within the given filesystem:
fsencrypt -p path -c lock -d domain
- migrate-delay
- Change the migration delay between work units.
Use the -n option to indicate a period in milliseconds.
fsencrypt -p path -c migrate-delay -n milliseconds
- migrate-path
- Parse a path, assigning the given domain to directories and tagging files to the given domain:
fsencrypt -p path -c migrate-path -d domain
- migrate-state
- Determine the amount of remaining migration work:
fsencrypt -p path -c migrate-state
- migrate-start
- Start the background encryption of tagged files:
fsencrypt -p path -c migrate-start
- migrate-status
- Report the status of migration:
fsencrypt -p path -c migrate-status
- migrate-stop
- Suspend the background encryption migration:
fsencrypt -p path -migrate-stop

- Query the status of a domain:
fsencrypt -p path -c query -d domain
- query-all
- Query the status of all the domains for a filesystem
fsencrypt -p path -c query-all
- read-key
- Read a file key into file.
fsencrypt -p path -c read-key -k @file
- set
- Assign the given path to a numbered domain.
The domain must be unlocked.
fsencrypt -p path -c set -d domain
- set-whole-disk
- Enable whole-disk encryption using domain.
There must be only one domain:
fsencrypt -p path -c set-whole-disk -d domain
Plain-text files are hidden if you enable whole-disk encryption.
- setup
- Complete the domain setup based
on the provided -k :
fsencrypt -p path -c setup -k :domain:type:locked:provider:path
- tag
- Tag a file for migration into the given domain (migrate-tag is a synonym):
fsencrypt -p file -c tag -d domain
