Out For Lunch…
13th September 2014 • Posted in Joseph Cheung
It has been a long time since I have written a blog post. In fact it has been a very long time since I have said anything about what I have been doing for the past couple of months. The truth is that I've been both busy and tired.
I've been busy with the Farnborough Airshow and a job training application which sadly resulted with a sad result. But I have actually been very tired. With so much activity with both of the events and elsewhere I haven't even had time to fit in volunteering times to go to RAF Museum London and on board HMS Belfast.
I have been looking at different ways to diversify my website and social network activities and have decided to give "CptDogstar" a separate policy to this website in that it encompasses a more commercial aspect.
The reason for this approach is because while this website and the social network links within this page are only about the professional aspect of what I want to do, I do however have a different side, more aimed towards gaming and the military; especially with airsofting as well.
This means I can diversify and differentiate between the professionalism with which I want to do for a living with useful activities that I do in my spare time as well as monetising where possible something I have been doing with my videos in YouTube.
As a personal policy I don't make money from my volunteering or career activities and that is noticeable on my YouTube page but my airsoft videos do have adverts put on them because it is fair that as an activity that has a cost on it, I do like to generate any extra income if it is possible.
With that in mind I have been interested in gaming, more specifically flight simulation games like Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Kerbal Space Program but I also want to add the airsoft games to this part as it is an activity that I've already commercialised as well as meeting the view that it is an activity that isn't necessarily career related but has aspects that is career related.
The inspiration for this separation comes from BBC News and BBC World News. While BBC News is a publicly professional organisation BBC World News shares a lot of BBC News's infrastructure and make up but acts in a commercial approach. This means that overall the image is of one organisation but actually is done differently. Interestingly many of what is done commercially or publicly is both demonstrated and used interchangeably but they both maintain their own independence.
There are a few things happening in the next couple of weeks and if I have time I hope to blog post my activities where possible.
Farnborough Airshow 2014
23rd July 2014 • Posted in Aerospace, Airshows
Every two years Farnborough Airport hosts the most impressive and expensive trade show with billions of dollars exchanged in return for high technology and aerospace services but sadly not everything was so rosy.
For more photos of Farnborough International Airshow 2014 you can visit my Flickr page for more up to date photos of the event
The Farnborough International Airshow is always a highlight in any aviation calendar, given that it happens every two years, but it is not without controversy. The Russians were mostly denied access to come to Farnborough over the diplomatic tensions over Ukraine and there was lots of talk about the Lockheed Martin F-35B. Sadly incidents like these give a sense of uneasy tension but it wasn't until later in the week things sadly went from bad to worse.
Tension is perhaps the most appropriate word to describe this years airshow because of the dramatic sense of international relations but also from a personal point of view I was tense and quite uneasy when walking around the trade stands. However it should be noted that I did not arrive during the first few days of the show rather going later in that week.
Two sides of me were on show for the matter. The first is careers based. Having been looking around and researching the personal options available, I thought it would be an opportune moment to just ask questions and if there is potential to further pitch my own services to the aerospace industry. The other side is the multimedia side where I would want to continue my photographic activities.
Trade shows, for me, traditionally is a time where I hardly say anything directly, but with a greater emphasis on just being curious I wanted to take the time to ask the question other than "do you have a job?" type questions. Having already come to the conclusion that my career route is complicated, I wanted to try and find out specifically what the industry wants from me and if possible what options are available.
It was also a rare first that I have managed to give away some of my personal business cards. While necessary to secure business deals at a trade show like this, I was never the type of person who would just go up to someone and just give out cards. I'd always preferred to talk one-to-one and then give out where necessary my card for further contact. However my overall response to my card design drew lots of praise. Always careful to show a level of professionalism and attention detail I still hope that by being impressive with what I've done things can move forward.
The main talks when walking around the stands were mostly recruitment agencies and a few organisations. The basic question I wanted to know was 'what do you want from me?' and what options are appropriate for my position?
The majority of the responses I got was to do with education. Having mentioned that I have a degree, it was not surprising that many questioned graduate engineering, but that option is self ruled out mainly because many companies ask for a certain classification which I don't have, but when mentioning this point, I was informed of MSc qualifications as well as other options like company connections between education and work places.
Funding for this would have been a problem, but many pointed out that unless you can get company finances to help or have very deep pockets, the other option would be to obtain bursaries with organisations and companies that do offer it.
When I mentioned volunteering, many had a mix reaction to it but were still interested as volunteering in my case has helped me gain some sort of experience from engineering as well as giving me the chance to demonstrate potential and many organisations I visited at the stand were interested in this fact.
I was surprised to hear that one company had concerns that if I was to apply for an apprenticeship position given the background of having a degree, I probably would be excluded because as a quirk with finance through the government they would not fund me as an apprentice, had I'd applied before the government announcements to apprenticeship funding I could have a better chance.
Aviation Xtended Interview
I was very lucky to have been asked by the team from Aviation Xtended to do an onsite airshow interview. It was refreshing to finally come out and speak about my enthusiasm for aviation and a brief moment to explain what and why I am doing at Farnborough.
Interview starts: 1:14.40
Many thanks goes to Aviation Xtended (@aviationxtended) for the interview and permission to use the podcast for this blog.
Great to meet @Varcs and @josephaviation at #FIA14 Hear their views on Farnborough in our next episode pic.twitter.com/eoGF79RnF9

Trade Stands
The trade stands at Farnborough this year felt quiet than the previous Farnborough airshow, not just because of the Russians not being allowed but also because the American air forces were notably missing on the static and flying displays.
This ultimately meant that there was fewer people but it did however feel more of a focused atmosphere. The surprise is seeing only a few main engine companies. Rolls-Royce in particular had a smaller stand and Airbus completely did not have a stand in the halls, instead shifting it to their chalet.
The format seemed pretty much the same as Farnborough 2012 with most of the companies last time round being here this time round. However the most interesting stand for me was looking at the Reaction Engines stand where they only showed a few engine component parts and I had an interesting conversation with one of the staff who works there too.
What surprised me was that they displayed engine test parts including the combustion chamber as well as the cooling tubes which rapidly change the temperature of the air to make the engine work in the different phases of flight as required to go hypersonic.
The conversation was even more interesting when considering the amount of technology being tested, they seemed to be the only one who can make head way with the technology, but when pressed about the future of the technology the response was that they would like to make further investments into the commercialisation of the engine like the jet engine; moving from just research to commercial opportunity but also develop further the technology so that in the future the engine becomes more common place as it has done with the jet engine.
Static Aircraft
There was a varying array of aircraft on stands, but most notably there was a lack of any Russian aircraft types. The diplomatic spat between Western and Russian interests meant that the British government effectively refused certain access to Farnborough overall and as a result the Russian government responded by withdrawing many Russian interests for the show.
Having said that there was a lack of American involvement because of their sequestration rules strangling the air forces within America and ultimately toning down the level of participation at Farnborough. This left a sense of emptiness that I have never seen and every now and again I would hear people murmuring about that quietness.
For me this meant that there were two problems, the first is that I would have more time on foot to take photos; which were taken rather quickly and the other is a lack of open cockpit opportunities.
In fact in Farnborough Airshow 2012, there was unfettered access to many aircraft on stand but this year they were kept behind barriers throughout. It wasn't without trying, I did manage to ask both Boeing and Airbus for their response but was given the response of trying again during the public days which, sadly I had no plans for.
@josephaviation Hello Joseph. Our #A380 will be open to visitors on Saturday PM and Sunday AM.
— Airbus (@Airbus) July 17, 2014
@josephaviation We'll have our airplanes on static display over the weekend
— The Boeing Company (@Boeing) July 17, 2014
Despite that, I'd made the most of the extra time and photographed the aircraft on stands with the best weather possible for it. But the bonus was by chance to enter an ATR 72 aircraft in which I had flown as a passenger in the past but never had the opportunity at the time to visit the cockpit. This would be the first time in over 10 years since that flight.
The ATR representative was fantastic. He allowed me to enter the aircraft, take photos in the cockpit and even had a wonderful chat all while special clients were wondering about. It was fascinating to note how comfortable sitting in the pilots seat was, everything was within reach and everything felt very similar to a cockpit of the EH101 Merlin at the RAF Museum London.
At the end of the short tour, I was asked to leave so the clients can finish of their business and I dutifully left a prompt as I could. But before leaving the aircraft stand completely, I was given trinkets as a mark of respect and appreciation for my enthusiasm for the hospitality, in which I was ever grateful during this airshow.
Thank you to the @atraircraft representative for letting me on your aircraft at @FIAFarnborough with gifts. V happy pic.twitter.com/6wc6zv3LCE

Display Flying
The display flying was more subdued this year because of the lack of participants mainly from America but also there still is a sense that austerity is having an effect, but aside from that feeling the display goes on and got better by Friday with extra participants making it more interesting.
The A350 and Boeing 787-9 certainly stole the commercial show side but the A400M was particularly fascinating watching the aircraft take off and do some interesting banking manoeuvres.
The Eurofighter Typhoon and the Alenia/Aermacchi aircraft certainly spiced things up from the aerobatic side of things but it certainly was a personal wake up call when photographing the Eurofighter Typhoon because being so close to the flight line and not experiencing an afterburner take off for a long time, it still shocks me how violent the take off is and trying to photograph it was almost impossible.
It wasn't until later in the week that things started to get better but it was twinned with sadness as Boeing had decided to not fly on Friday (my final airshow day) to display. This because of the international incident over eastern Ukraine with the loss of an Malaysian Airlines aircraft.
But the day wasn't still without its own problems. The Red Arrows had finally flown in for their scheduled display and some half way through the display whilst the aircraft were moving into position into the next formation display, one of the aircraft (Red 8) had suffered a possible bird strike.
It was sad they cut the display short, but it was necessary and the length of time assessing the stability of the aircraft meant they could not carry on with the display schedule.
But one of the biggest highlights was to see a Harrier fly in the UK, albeit a Spanish aircraft. The sight and sounds of a Harrier are amazing, and in beautiful weather, I got photos I wanted for a long time.
Its display isn't the same as the former RAF display that they used to do, but just to see it fly and also hover for a considerable amount of time was a sight to behold and a timely reminder of what was to be replaced with the F-35 that should have been here as well as to be flown during the display.
However one aircraft I hold in deep regard is the Avro Vulcan. This massive bomber is the only Vulcan flying in the world and it is sad to hear that this aircraft may not fly next year, so this year's Farnborough airshow is perhaps the very last time we would see this beast fly.
International Incident
BREAKING NEWS Reports says that a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with 295 souls onboard has crashed in Ukraine near the Russian border MH17
— Flightradar24 (@flightradar24) July 17, 2014
After the display flying on the Thursday, my phone didn't stop ringing over the news that while the airshow was displaying the aircraft, news of an airline exploding over Ukraine at first did not seem real, but when passing the Flight Global news stand, it became clear that it was true and the shocking thing was hearing how it came down.
Malaysia flight MH17 was enroute from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and had disappeared off radar screens over Ukraine just before the Russian border. This led to immediate speculation that some sort of explosion happened.
As it turned out increasing evidence (at the time of going to press) that it was a missile strike from a missile system believed to have been fired by separatists in Ukraine. This led to an international incident unprecedented in scale and scope.
Farnborough Airshow 2014 had already courted controversy in which the British government refused certain Russian people from going to Farnborough but this only added to the sense of unease within the Russian stands about the whole incident.
The incident also raised the question for Malaysia Airlines, even before the press printed their thoughts about the airline, I was openly questioning the ability for the airline to survive and given that this is now the second incident in as many months it for me drew parallels to Pan Am and TWA's demise.
But the biggest point is not the material loss of an aircraft, its the actual loss of people involved, especially when considering that there were a number of children and that the reason for the aircraft loss was due to the fact they were flying over a conflict zone.
The following day from the international incident reverberated even further with Boeing completely cancelling all flying for the display as a mark of respect and with that the flying display felt even more quieter because of it.
Final Thoughts
The one word for me that describes Farnborough is 'quiet', but it really did feel quiet, with the lack of the American air forces due to budget constraints, the diplomatic spat of the Russians not allowed in and no mighty roar of the F-35 certainly meant that the airshow during the trade days feel more subdued than before.
Tension is a word I'd used in the beginning, and its just the beginning, namely with the tension between Russia and Ukraine and also with the tension building up to whether it would come or not (much like me deciding if I wanted to three trade days or two trade days).
Sorrow is also another word I would add to this because of the tragic international aviation incident over Ukraine and incidentally causing the Russians not to come because of Ukraine.
The display flying did feel it struggled to put on a show, but it did pick up substantially during the latter days of the week. Neither the less it was interesting to see an airshow that felt more relaxed than before. Amongst the trade stands, it sometimes felt more of a relief not to shout at your client when a jet fighter does some high energy manoeuvre.
The only real gripe was the weather and the flight line security. The weather is perfectly understandable and its probably without any reason why Farnborough can be so successful with beautiful weather most of the time but the security on the flight line is the other gripe that I reserve with great frustration.
@FIAFarnborough three time in three days security constantly block my view of the runway during a display. Not happy pic.twitter.com/XXzGwrDr4r
— Joseph Cheung (@josephaviation) July 18, 2014
Three times over three days, security (doing their job perfectly) made my job photographing the air display harder when the main focus is watching the aircraft take off and land. At times its just a the security personnel standing getting in the way, other times included vehicles constantly charging up and down and at worse parking their vehicles in one spot. On one occasion I suffered great anger when they just parked a gold buggy in front which meant I had a constrained angle of view to photograph the runway.
It is understandable and absolutely right security must be present and at times be reassuring they are there, but they should not be the absolute focus and be a nuisance to what they must do. I would have been happier if they had sat down on a chair than for them to stand all the time as well as parking a buggy for security to seek extra shade.
With the atmosphere of the airshow set before it started, it was obvious I was going to struggle to fill three days adequately, but having said that I've done more than I could have wished for. Planning as much as I could I did manage to do what I wanted to do; talk to people on stands and give out my personal business cards to interested parties.
On the photography side, aside from the security issues, I was disappointed that most of the shots I had taken used the wrong settings to capture the image but I did get some fantastic panning shots of the aircraft on take off and landing which is personally difficult for me to achieve sharp focus on the aircraft with a highly dynamic background.
Its a shame I did not manage to meet other aircraft enthusiasts during the three days; being pre-occupied with career related activities as well as juggling with photographing both the statics and flying aircraft, I was fortunate that I did get to meet one of the @aviationxtended presenters for an interview along with Paul Varcoe for an enthusiasts view of Farnborough.
Overall I still had an enjoyable three days and for that I'm not disappointed but it would have been even better with better planning, more time to prepare and also making extra plans for things that can change.
If there was one thing that has come out of going to Farnborough is that the use of Twitter had exploded and more so when it came to correspondence between myself, the airshow organisers, aircraft manufacturers, aircraft enthusiasts and even media people. The effect is something very positive. Getting to know more about what is going on as well as having interesting conversations.
I intend to continue using social networks more and make the most of how social networks can help on the career front. After all, recently I was contacted by someone detailing a job description that I should look at and so I did and eventually sent off my job application.

Yesterday, Imgur users were all fixated on Project GIFV. Imgur is now supporting bigger GIF files and it turns out they play much faster, much smoother, and are a better quality altogether. I'm guessing the people at Imgur realized how crazy its user-base is about GIFs and decided to give them something to really go nuts about. Now that you have the means to share bigger, better GIFs using the most popular image sharing service, the only question that remains is, how do go about creating a super high quality GIF? Here are four tools that let you create great GIFs from your desktop, using online videos, images on your computer, or your webcam. Read More
Trigger Based Profile Switcher For Sound, Display, WiFi, & More [Android]
Sound and WiFi profiles need to be changed depending on where we are. Both are changed so frequently that complex automating apps like Tasker aren't used and instead, apps dedicated to managing sound and WiFi profiles are sought, duly found, and used. SwiP - ProfileSwitcher is an Android that doesn't just manage sound and WiFi profiles but gives you a whole set of other options for the state of Bluetooth switch, brightness, Display time out duration, and more.

What's New In Windows 10? We Cover 10 Features With Screenshots
Mircosoft surprised a lot of people when it announced the latest Windows instalment; the much anticipated Windows 9 that was expected to be announced had a surprising and very unexpected name; Windows 10. We can debate why Microsoft decided to skip a number but it will be pure speculation on our part. Instead, we took a look at the technical preview Microsoft made available through its Insider program. The new features sway more towards fixing everything wrong with Windows 8 and sees a very familiar feature, the Start Menu, make a comeback, complete with a facelift. Read More
Sortd Gives You A List Based Interface To Organize Emails [Chrome]
We will never stop looking for new and better ways to manage our email. We have everything from folders, tags, email rules, sophisticated desktop email clients, to color coded labels and yet email is still a formidable part of everyday life. Sortd Smart Skin for Gmail is a Chrome extension that takes a rather fresh approach to email management; the lists approach. It lets you sort emails into lists and comes with pre-added lists for 'To-Do', 'Follow Up', and 'List 1'. Of course users can add their own lists and duly sort their emails to them. Sortd is currently in Beta however, they are accepting new users daily. Read More
Automatically Mute The Audio Playing In All Inactive Tabs In Chrome
One of the recent versions of Chrome added something absolutely wonderful to the browser; a sound indicator in the tab that tells you which tab is playing any sort of audio. This feature doesn't just work for YouTube videos or other embedded media players but also for those annoying video ads that play on their own making it very easy to identify the guilty tab. Mute Inactive Tabs is a Chrome extension that does something equally helpful in this regard; it mutes a tab playing any sound if it is inactive. Read More
Calc+: Edit Numbers & Functions Mid Calculation And Add Constants [Android]
Calculators on our smartphones are a disappointment in everything except the design area. I know they get the job done but most work essentially like any old pocket calculator does. If you've made a mistake, tapped the wrong number, want to recall your last calculation, or have entered an incorrect number in your haste, you will have to begin all over again. If I recall my scientific calculator which allowed me to save up to eight results to its memory, I realize how very basic and inadequate these stock apps are. Calc+ Powerful calculator is a calculator app that fills this glaring gap left by most apps; you can edit a number and a mathematical function any time. Long calculations are easy to follow, you can edit any number, clear it from the equation and even set constants that can be used any time. Read More
Clean All EXIF Data From Your Photos Before Sharing Them [Android]
Cameras on phones have grown exceptionally sophisticated over time and not just in terms of photo quality but in terms of the digital data they can capture in addition to your photos. Date, location, compression, resolution, flash, exposure time, and more. If you've taken a photo with the Google camera app and made use of its blur feature then you know the image comes with additional information regarding depth and an entire depth map. All this means our phone cameras are great and super awesome but at the same time, they also give away information we might not want to share such as the location of where a photo was taken. It might not be as big a deal for photos that stay on our hard drives but for those we share, a little caution is always a good idea. Meet EZ UnEXIF Free (EXIF Remover), a free Android app that removes all the EXIF data in a photo and saves it as a copy or overwrites the original one, according to your preference. Read More
Sticky Notes Collector: Sync Website Specific Notes Across Computers [Chrome]
Note taking apps or rather note taking extensions are both abundant and popular. Some have web services working at the back end while others store notes on your local drive. Sticky Notes Collector is a Chrome extension that lets you take notes and saves them on your local drive. The extension has a dashboard and each note you take is assigned a color when it is created. The colors help categorize the notes and clicking a note opens the website it was created on. The note is duly loaded on the site. While the extension stores notes online, it also gives you the option to sync them across different computers with your Google account. Read More
Panel Tabs: Separate Any Chrome Tab Into A Floating Panel
Tabbed browsing is one of the greatest things to ever happen to internet browsers apart from development of Chrome and Firefox, of course. I wouldn't give my tabs up for anything, and all fifty of the ones I have open at the moment are special. That being said, I'd love an easier way to find an important or frequently visited tabs from the many that I have open. Panel Tabs is a Chrome extension that works with the experimental 'Panel' feature and it lets you separate any tab into a floating panel much like the one that Hangouts appears in with the added benefit that you can drag the panel to anywhere on the screen.

HeadsUp: Get Android L Like Notifications With A Blacklist For Apps
Interactive notifications are now a thing; iOS 8 has already come out with interactive notifications and Android L has previewed them as well dubbing them 'Heads Up notifications'. It's only a matter of time before they become more functional. Unlike iOS 8 which rolls out to all devices indiscriminately, Android users are not going to get Android L at the same time as it is made available on devices like the Nexus 5. Some users might end up waiting considerably long so an app is the only way to bridge this gap. Meet HeadsUp, a free Android app that gives you interactive notifications, priority management, and a blacklist to block app notifications. Basically, it's like Notific except it's free. Read More
Suggest Movie Searches For Movie By Year, Genre, & Rating [Android]
We have talked about a lot of movie discovery services; Netflix Roulette and Moveinr are just two of them. What both these services have in common are that they web services meant to be used from a desktop browser, ideally. I don't doubt you could probably use Netflix Roulette on a mobile browser too but it leaves you wanting a simple app that does what these services do. Meet Suggest Movie, an a-supported free Android app that has basic year range, genre, and rating filters for finding a movie to watch. Read More
Everything Wrong With iOS 8 In 450 Words or Less
We did a run down of killer features introduced by Apple in iOS since iOS 3 to date. We hoped to look at what great new features have been part of the offering that compels us to update to the next version. Likewise, it's up to us to look at the dark side of things and by dark side we mean the awful bugs that are currently plaguing iOS 8 users. These aren't the simple bugs that you can overlook; they are recurring and annoying enough for Apple to promise iOS 8.0.1 to the masses in the near future. Take into consideration how long the company took to acknowledge the iPhone 5 had a faulty power button and offer a free fix for it and you know that the problems are real. So here it is, a brief overview of the bugs iOS 8 users are experiencing on various supported devices. Read More
iOS Killer Features Introduced Over The Years
For many people, buying an iPhone 6 will be a decision to upgrade to a larger screen and a better camera, etc. For those who aren't buying a new phone, they will be upgrading their devices to iOS 8. Every new version of iOS has had quick and almost immediate adoption. In 2007 when the iPhone was first announced Apple aimed to sell one million units in a year. With the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, that same number has been achieved in a week. We are definitely still in love with Apple's amazing hardware but iOS upgrades aren't a matter of fandom and blind dedication to the company. They have always been about features; what does the new OS give you that's worth upgrading for and through the years, Apple has given us killer features in every single version of iOS to make it worth the upgrade. We revisit those killer features again to see if iOS 8 has delivered like its predecessors and what features in the latest version are going to push the upgrades. Read More

How To Add/Remove Third-Party Keyboards In iOS 8
I should just use the same introductory sentence for these posts, since they are all just some variants of "iOS 8 is out, it has new features". So, iOS 8 is out, it has new features, like widgets and third-party keyboards. Not that there is anything wrong with the native keyboard, but sometimes one has to experiment with what else is out there, perhaps you might like a third-party over your cherished iOS 8 keyboard. Only one way to find out, install it (like SwiftKey) and see for yourself. Allow us to walk you through how to install third-party keyboards on iOS 8. Read More
5 Ways To Put Your Obsolete iPhone 4 To Good Use
Now that iOS 8 is out, your iPhone 4 is effectively obsolete in terms of OS. Where the iPhone 4 will not be receiving an OS update, it also doesn't support some major features from iOS 6 and iOS 7 such as Siri and the ability to take panoramas. Additionally, the phone didn't handle the iOS 7 update all too well; it slowed the phone down and it wasn't until Apple issued an update with a performance fix for the iPhone 4 that things improved. So, if you still have an iPhone 4 that you used or if you have one lying around unused, what can you do with it now that substantially faster devices are available? Here are five suggested uses that might let you use it as something more than a seriously expensive paperweight. Read More
How To Add And Remove Widgets In iOS 8
Since we already spent a lot of time discussing the abridged biography of iOS 8, we will skip that particular introduction and go right to the meat of the matter. Widgets are now regular constituents of iOS 8, located where iOS 7 offered a control no more complex than an off switch; you can now completely customize your Notification Center and what widgets you show there and in what order. Let us take a look at how to do exactly that on iOS 8. Read More
Horizon Will Never Let You Record Another Vertical Video Again [Android]
Vertical videos are the bane of our time. As much as we all hate them when we click play, we don't really remember to turn our device on its side so we can record a proper horizontal video. Google Camera came up with a solution to that with one of its earlier versions where the app doesn't record unless it detects your device is held correctly and I think that was genius. It's something Apple should consider brining to iOS. Horizon is an Android app that takes the fight against vertical videos one step further and lets you hold you device any way you want while it continues recording in the correct landscape mode. The free version of the app lets you record for fifteen seconds and an upgrade worth $0.99 will let you record without any time restrictions. With the free version, you also get a watermark at the bottom right of your video and promotional animation for Horizon at the end. Read More
Swiftkey Now Available In The App Store For iOS 8, Here's Our Take [Review]
iOS 8 is here! Wait, we already said that in our last article. Okay, so let's start talking more and more about it. One of the biggest advances in iOS 8 are not at the cosmetic level, it is at the developer's end, which come back on a cosmetic level. Now the environment is a little more open and to that end, there will be support for custom keyboards (amongst other things, check out our review). Predictive text is the weapon of choice for the legend of Android SwiftKey which steps foot into the battleground of iOS, armed with swipe-to-type functionality. Read on to find out how it fared.

Andhra Bank will host a meeting of importers and exporters here on Saturday to press home the advantages of investing in the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector, according to bank Deputy General Manager K. Venkateswarulu.
Mr. Venkateswarulu said here on Friday that the meeting would be held at Grand Nagarjuna Hotel as part of the Founder's Day celebrations. Bank personnel took part in a blood donation camp on Thursday.
Briefing newsmen about the activities of the bank, the DGM said that bank would continue to support small and medium sector and so far, the bank lent an amount of Rs.1,615 crore to the SME sector.
Mr. Venkateswarulu said that a new branch of the bank was being opened at Telagayapalem village in Kakumanu mandal on November 28 as part of the Founder's Day celebrations. The bank has been one of the fastest growing branches in the country with a total business volume of Rs.1.68 lakh crore (till the end of September 2011), he said.
Tracing the origin of the bank which had a humble beginning in the year 1923, when it was opened by Pattabhi Seethamaiah in Machilipatnam, the DGM said the bank had come a long way in meeting the diverse needs of the agriculture, industry, and service sectors.

ISSUE: 2012 edition of Heartland
OUR VIEW: Delivering on promises
Despite a compressed planning schedule that challenged organizers, the Heartland Festival in the Park succeeded in providing a fun weekend.
Returning to its traditional late August weekend, the first city-run version of Elizabethtown's annual Heartland provided some new elements including mud volleyball and a compact vendor area that created a more intimate atmosphere at Freeman Lake Park.
ISSUE: New vehicles
OUR VIEW: City follows through on ideas
Radcliff's newest additions to the city-owned vehicle fleets have been gathering attention.
The green trolley making its way around town has created many smiles and a certain degree of excitement. Radcliff acquired the second-hand bus from a transit authority in Michigan just months after the city council approved the idea during its budget sessions.
TOPIC: Blair family and Kosair
OUR VIEW: Family's efforts inspiring
Many of us never will have to deal with the loss of a child, especially a child who had yet to turn 4.
But Wes and Kelly Blair have.
A group of North Hardin High School students recently got a better idea of how dangerous it is to text while driving when AT&T brought a simulator to the school. Students got into a car, put on simulation goggles and attempted to text. Wearing the goggles, the teens saw a virtual road with other drivers and pedestrians.
While texting, the young drivers ran off the road, hit other cars and even killed pedestrians, all in a virtual situation. But the scary truth is the virtual damage and loss of life mirrors reality.
ISSUE: Labor Day Weekend
OUR VIEW: The final weekend of the summer
Traditionally seen as the last weekend of the summer, the Labor Day holiday means school is back in session, retail stores are starting to put out winter clothes and football season has started.
ISSUE: Hospital energy conservation plan
OUR VIEW: Energy savings is an important goal
If as a homeowner you learned your household energy consumption and related costs were significantly higher than the average of your neighbors, you'd likely want to figure out why and rectify the inequity.
Most conscientious homeowners would. So would most, if not all business owners. After all, a dollar saved is a dollar earned.
ISSUE: Hardin County United
OUR VIEW: No foundation laid
Hardin Fiscal Court recently slammed the door on the idea of a local unified government. Although the city government of Radcliff formally turned up its nose on the idea and Elizabethtown's council held similar opinions, Fiscal Court's lopsided 7-2 vote really put the kabosh on the idea — for now at least.
TOPIC: Graduation rates
OUR VIEW: Don't forget the kids left behind
We are a society that gets hung up a lot on numbers.
A .300 hitter in baseball, a 25 score on an ACT. A 20-point scorer in basketball, a 90-plus school graduation rate.
The higher the number, usually the better.
Recent news of graduation rates among Hardin County and area schools is encouraging news and numbers that bring pride to students, parents, educators and the community as a whole.
ISSUE: Candidates for local elected office
OUR VIEW: Lack of interest is disappointing
The passing of the Aug. 14 filing deadline for candidates seeking election to local political office should leave voters with a sense of disappointment.

Report: Golisano potentially partnering with Scott Congel in Bills bid
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 28 2014 3:47PM
Within the past two weeks, the intentions of former Buffalo Sabres owner and billionaire Tom Golisano in regards to the Buffalo Bills have been identified. With the newest report, some details of Golisano's potential bid on the franchise have been unveiled.
According to John Wawrow of The Associated Press, Golisano has not only made his intentions of bidding on the team known to officials of the Buffalo Bills, but a potential financial partner in the purchase has also been found. The billionaire has been linked to developer Scott Congel, son of the owner of Syracuse-based company The Pyramid Group.
According to the report, Golisano's bid on the Bills will also include a proposal for a new stadium in what was termed as "south of Buffalo." The land is owned by the company and developer Golisano intends to partner with.
The former Sabres owner is estimated by Forbes to be worth $2 billion. Keep checking back for more details as they become available.

The bats are back - despite Davis and Manny both being in minor (or semi) slumps, and the pitching continues to improve/hold steady. I hope Tampa Bay demoralizes the Red Sox leading up to this weekend's series.

Research and Markets Announces a New Report - Wireless HD Video Technologies: WHDI, WirelessHD, and WiGig Try to Create a Market
Feb 14, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Wireless HD Video Technologies: WHDI, WirelessHD, and WiGig Try to Create a Market" report to their offering.
Earliest applications for wireless HD video technologies were centered around the CE cluster and were used primarily as HDMI cable replacements. Today wireless HD video technologies have evolved into the PC cluster connecting mobile PCs to DTVs. The category is comprised of three technologies and new In-Stat research tracks penetration of Wireless Home Digital Interface (WHDI), WirelessHD, and Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) through 2015.
With this report clients can: Determine which product segment is most likely to adopt Wireless HD Identify which Wireless HD technology will be the most popular through the forecast period Create targeted marketing plans based on specific product segments adopting specific wireless HD technologies Understand the market drivers and barriers to future use and adoption Report findings include the following: Desktops, standard notebooks, and mini-notes (netbooks) are unlikely to adopt the technology over the length of the forecast period, primarily for reasons of cost.
Expect to see experimentation in tablet PCs with various technologies over the next few years, but WiGig/802.11ad will be the eventual winner, because it is a Wi-Fi standard.
The strength for wireless HD video technologies in CE is in connecting mobile devices, including smartphones, to large-screen devices in order to display HD video on the larger screen.
Wi-Fi Display will emerge as a significant competitor to all three wireless HD video technologies.
This report provides analysis of the three technologies as well as competing technologies, and annual chip average selling price forecasts for each of the three technologies.
It also tracks the annual penetration through 2015 of all three technologies into 12 different applications within the following product segments: PCs PC peripherals CE Communications (mobile phones) Industrial/medical applications Companies Featured: Intel Microsoft Panasonic Samsung Nokia Broadcom For more information visit
