petr marek: The continuous denial of any full RGB sensor Sigma/Foveon camera for various funny reasons, especially in studio comparsion scene makes me laugh...
What will dpreview do, when future cameras will end up (and they will :)!) with layered sensors?
For now, dear photofriends, we can get insight into Quattro image quality at dpreview comparsion scene this way: select Pentax K-3 II with pixel shift...
Get it?:)
If you go to the camera calibration panel of lightroom you can choose the 2010 process rather than the current one and have fill light and recovery sliders for an image in lightroom. I have never seen or used SPP or Sigma cameras, so I can not compare the fill light process between those two programs, but with virtual copies you could compare results with your current non Sigma cameras.

Lightroom did have "fill light" slider several versions back. It is now replaced with the highlight, shadow, white, and black sliders.
I was under the impression Sony was attempting to compete with the best of today's cameras. I did not realize the question was whether the AF could perform in a way so as to be competitive with manual focus cameras of thirty years ago.
samhain: Very impressive lens, sigma is really on a roll.
Making Canon/Nikon lens division look like they're stuck in molasses :)
In the US those flagship DSLR cameras were already over $6k at last release. (1Dx and D4s). Sigma's own flagship SD1 was introduced at over $9k until they dropped price to under $2k!
How many professional DSLR's have been released this year? Nikon's last release was early 2014. (Unless you include the 810A astro camera).
Grand prize to the only entrant!
A "precall"
Has anyone had fit issues with Pocket Wizards, Vello, Metz flashes, other Phottix products, or is it specifically a Phottix Odin issue?
Has anyone seen references to Nikon SB problems on D750 hotshoe that are reported other than by Phottix. I cannot find posts other than those referencing Phottix claims, which provide no documentation.
Take that report with the same level of legitimacy as the cardboard shim fix until documentation is provided.
ecube: I have been using the Nikon View that came with my D90 in the mid-2000s. The version that came with my D5100 and then D800 and later on-line updates. It is not perfect but it served my needs. While I have Photoshop, I hardly waste my time on it.
I just downloaded this free ViewNX-i and will see how it works.
I can always get back to the previous NX2 if needed . . . regardless, no complaint here. Thanks Nikon for supporting your customer.
The website indicates update for edit function similar to NX2 by September
Dave Oddie: The focal length range is very useful. On APS-C i use a Sony 11-18 which is similar. Usefully wider then the 16mm on my CZ 16-80.
The problem with the Tamron though is with it being a FF lens is size and weight.
I can't help thinking if I was a FF user I'd be happier with a 24-105 zoom complimented by a 17mm prime lens for the wide angle forgoing the flexibility of the zoom.
Does anyone make a 17mm FF prime these days? It all seems to be zooms which are large and expensive.
Zeiss also has a 15 mm prime, but it is large, and it is expensive (which appear to be the two parameters you were hoping to avoid)!
Colin Franks: I was recently considering a new wide angle, and my interest was piqued whenI heard of this new offering from Tamron, but the moment I learned that it doesn't accept filters, I went out and bought the Canon 16-35 f/4.
It seems strange to make a lens like this that will not accept filters. They're losing a lot of potential buyers.
Its target is the Nikon 14-24, the long time landscape standard, for which filters have always been the topic of discussion. Many Canon users have waited long for a comparable offering and this is for them. The less specialized 16-35's are there for the rest of us.
SRT3lkt: smaller company that sticks up gets hammered down by larger corporation.
No, the court in Japan, which is there to protect both of their interests, decided that Nikon was the wronged party, but not nearly as egregiously as Nikon had claimed!
Just because Sigma, who makes many great lenses, is smaller does make it alright to use and profit from another's intellectual property without appropriate license.
If a country allows its manufacturers to copy batteries or software and sell it we call it piracy, and condemn the country for not properly enforcing copyright and patent law. Explain to me; how does being a small corporation suddenly makes it right to live by a different set of laws?
Yes, I realize that typical piracy involves using the same name for a product. This seems similar, just hiding the issue inside another product and branding it as your own innovation.
I copy material to a term paper it is plagiarism and I am expelled from university.
I walk out of walmart with a DVD it is shoplifting and I go to jail.
I copy someone's lyrics it is copyright infringement and I pay a penalty.
I use someone elses patented process to create a product I can sell to their customers at a reduced rate having avoided the R&D costs and .....I am a victim if the other company is larger?
So, a 1Dx user wishes to improve AF performance he/she logs onto the Canon site to download a firmware upgrade. A D4 user wishes to improve AF performance he/she logs onto the B&H site and buys a new body at a cost likely north of $6k.
abcdefghijklmnop: Help me here, Nikon did not change anything on the existing batteries or lenses we already own. I know since they did not recall mine, at least. So nothing about how the lenses and batteries operate was changed. If the third party makers had done their jobs right and accurately reverse engineered a product this would not have happened. Some of the lenses were sold with a port for lens software update which pretty well confirms to me that the maker knew everything had not been figure out about those lenses by that company. And since all third party lenses and batteries apparently, from reports, have not been affected does that not also point so sloppy engineering by some.
agree with the biohazard, these are not new batteries which do not work, but batteries which were functioning properly and are now rendered obsolete. I have had lenses which needed to be updated by Sigma when purchasing a new body, but have not had an occurence where an updated and functioning lens is suddenly, and likely intentionally, rendered inoperable. That would seem to cross the line in regards to customer relations and respect.
If someone changes the locks and my old key does not fit it does mean it was poorly cut (sloppy engineering).
HBowman: This is just dumb and ugly ... They wanted to mimic the look of the OM-D ?? They failed miserably !! OMG lol
Come on Nikon what are you doing ?? you, such an historic enterprise, serious, solid ... look at what you are forced to do :D
Even your high end gear have problems pffff shame and pity !
but it lacks your beloved foveon sensor and can therefore take a useable photo beyond ISO 100
flbrit: For my use it seems great.
I will consider trading in my VRII f2.8 depending how it tests on IQ mounted on the D800e compared to the 2.8. I am also interested to see how it takes TC's.
I will not be an early adopter
I will keep my 2.8. I would rather get rid of the 70-300 for this as a lighter (than the 2.8) travel 70-200. I also dislike the lens extension in zooming to telephoto with the 70-300!
Dan: It looks like it's missing something without the tripod collar mounted.
i would prefer and wait for the eventual RRS or Kirk collar which would mate directly to the ballhead.
Retzius: I knew this would come out before the Pentax K30 Review!
it is a preview, less extensive than the one done on your K30 in May
And a new type of battery and charger?

Coastal Carolina University
|StudentsReview ::
Coastal Carolina University - Comments and Student Experiences
-The campus is beautiful, it's well maintained, the buildings are all in good shape. The university has done so much construction since I graduated in 2012! Tons of new buildings. Dormitories compared to many universities are TOP NOTCH.
-Faculty/Staff: I loved the faculty & staff at CCU. They went above & beyond to help their students & always made you feel warm & welcome. Not once did I feel like just a number. The professors for the most part were hard working & very knowledgable in their field.
-Program: one thing I'm a little disappointed in was my program. I studied communications & I know at the time the program was fairly new. At that time I felt as though compared to my previous instruction, Coastal did not offer as many classes or as many options as far as classes went. There were certain aspects of communications I would have like to study further but CCU did not offer classes in them. HOWEVER, I know that the department is growing a lot & that there are many many more classes available now in communication & journalism. I just wish they were there when I was an undergrad.
-Surrounding City: myrtle beach is a 15 min drive down the road. Conway is "ok" but there really is so much to do both OFF & ON campus. I was never bored & could always find somewhere to hang out.
-Students: a lot of people give CCU the rep of a "party" school & while it's by the beach & there are MORE bars/places to part I felt that when it came down to studies, the library was always crowded. I never felt "distracted" by parties or anything of the sort. The students are mostly very friendly & welcoming. There is a "happy feeling" on campus. There's no cliques everyone just talks to everyone.
Food: I wish they had more variety of food. That's one thing but the food was ok. It's college food it's never going to be "moms cooking" that's with any college though.Overall, I'm so happy I picked CCU. I feel I learned so much about who I am & grew so much! I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the campus & even meeting with faculty. Honestly, CCU for me was the best decision I made

The quest for fuller knowledge and greater understanding will go on.
But know that the Kremlin is biding its time for fuller revenge.
In nearby Pasadena, California, at fuller Theological Seminary, the same characteristics forged Adam into a gifted pastor.
However, its options are weak: The court can issue a public rebuke or ask fuller to resign, but little else.
In fact, this week is all about remerchandising your existing talents and wares, doing what you do, with fuller force.
Waiting for a fuller reconnaissance, therefore, would have consumed time without giving any advantage.
I wish it were possible for me to give a fuller account of the Burmese family.
Of the subsequent proceedings, Inky Mike brought us a fuller report than the newspapers.
And then the sun had seemed to rise on a fuller life that came later.
Seen in its light the sweep of landscape seemed to her more picturesque, fuller of appeal to the imagination.
"one who fulls cloth," Old English fullere, from Latin fullo "fuller" (see foil (v.)). The substance called fuller's earth (silicate of alumina) is first recorded 1520s, so called because it was used in cleansing cloth.
Old English full "completely, full, perfect, entire, utter," from Proto-Germanic *fullaz (cf. Old Saxon full, Old Frisian ful, Old Norse fullr, Old High German fol, German voll, Gothic fulls), from PIE *pele- (1) "to fill" (see poly-).
Adverbial sense was common in Middle English (full well, full many, etc.). Related: Fuller; fullest. Full moon was Old English fulles monan; first record of full-blood in relation to racial purity is from 1812. Full house is 1710 in the theatrical sense, 1887 in the poker sense.
"to tread or beat cloth to cleanse or thicken it," late 14c., from Old French fouler, from Latin fullo (see foil (v.)); Old English had the agent-noun fullere, probably directly from Latin fullo.
Drunk (1872+)
The word "full" is from the Anglo-Saxon fullian, meaning "to whiten." To full is to press or scour cloth in a mill. This art is one of great antiquity. Mention is made of "fuller's soap" (Mal. 3:2), and of "the fuller's field" (2 Kings 18:17). At his transfiguration our Lord's rainment is said to have been white "so as no fuller on earth could white them" (Mark 9:3). En-rogel (q.v.), meaning literally "foot-fountain," has been interpreted as the "fuller's fountain," because there the fullers trod the cloth with their feet.

What Is the Difference Between a Cyclone, Typhoon, and Hurricane?
One of the biggest sticking points when it comes to weather forecasts is the public's confusion over the terms "hurricane," "typhoon," and "cyclone." Since they're three different names, people think they're three different kinds of storm. Here's a quick explainer on what's in a name. »
Major earthquakes might be triggered by hurricanes
While predicting the next big earthquake is probably impossibility, there's still a lot we can learn about what causes severe earthquakes. We've now identified the trigger for some of the most destructive recent earthquakes, including the 2007 quake in Haiti. »

Managing by the Map
Fung, Devlin, Business Perspectives
Increasingly-sophisticated GIS software is enabling businesses, government, and other agencies to interpret data in promising new ways.
Attend a seminar or read an article on modern marketing research, and one invariably encounters the term "GIS."
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), one of the most important tools in this age of "niche" marketing, has significant applications in a wide variety of industries. In fact, GIS has become a buzz word that represents to many a panacea to problem solving and decision making in marketing, resource management, planning, and environmental monitoring.
However, like most tools, GIS technology is only as good as the person using it, just as merely using a word processing software such as WordPerfect does not necessarily make one an accomplished writer. This is a pitfall too often overlooked by those who are fervently trying to embrace the technology. Effective use of GIS requires an understanding of the fundamental concepts of geographic data, map coordinate systems and registration, data integrity and accuracy, overlay analysis, and database manipulation. Applying GIS therefore involves more than merely investing in the necessary hardware/software system, and mastery of GIS software should not be equated with expertise in GIS. This article is intended to provide the reader with an understanding of the technology and demonstrate its potential as a valuable tool for business applications.
The concept of geographic information systems (GIS) evolved in the late 1950s from the traditional manual procedures for registering and overlaying individual layers of maps onto one another (giving rise to the term "light-table gymnastics.") This innovative use of maps as an analytical tool provided an entirely new facet in map usage, from mere physical description of geographic phenomena to spatial modeling applications (Berry, 1987; Parker, 1987).
Today, the evolution of GIS technology is intimately linked to the advent and development of computer technology. In its present form, GIS technology integrates spatial modeling, database management, and computer graphics in a hardware/software system for managing and manipulating geographic data. Typical GIS software, therefore, will provide the mechanisms to capture, encode, edit, analyze, compose, and display spatial data organized as map layers in a GIS database. In effect, these functions are categorized [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED] as the four major components of a GIS: data input, data analysis, data management, and data output (Aronoff, 1989; Star and Estes, 1990).
At the core, a database
The key to proper application of GIS technology is the database. A GIS application today most probably will incorporate a relational database management system for the manipulation of feature attribute information.
A GIS database contains map layers representing geographic themes organized in a digital format (Marble and Peuquet, 1983). These map layers, which are geocoded to a standard coordinate system such as the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) or State Plane Coordinate systems in use today, may be conceptualized [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2 OMITTED] as a stack of floating maps tied to a common map base (Avery and Berlin, 1992). Each map layer can be independently accessed. When combined, information and related attributes from individual layers can be referenced to one another from a spatial standpoint.
In addition to the map layers, a GIS database also will include a data file or files containing attribute information about features indicated on each map layer and stored in a database file. For example, the data for a map layer of the road network of Shelby County may include such information as road name, road type, physical distance, class type, and address range. Through a relational database management system, the attribute information for each map feature in the database can be directly accessed as part of the input for analysis. …

Course description
This course is a practical introduction to methods and theory surrounding analysis of (1) natural languages and (2) naturally occurring language use. The first half of the course focuses on domains from theoretical linguistics: phonology (the repertoire of human speech sounds), phonetics (sound systems of particular languages), morphology (the composition of words), syntax (the structure of sentences), semantics (linguistic meaning), and pragmatics (language use/context). The course also covers computational linguistics and discusses use of technology for linguistic analysis. The second half of the course will focus on discourse analysis, specifically conversation analysis, a methodology that is used widely by sociolinguists and linguistic anthropologists for the analysis of what Schegloff has referred to as "language in the wild." Readings and practical exercises using conversation analysis will focus on techniques for investigating discourse in institutional settings including, emergency service (911) calls, doctor-patient interaction, and news/political media.
Learning Outcomes
• Students will become familiar with technical terminology and procedures for analysis of linguistic features.
• Students will develop proficiency in recognizing linguistic patterns through analysis of exemplars from multiple languages.
• Students will gain fluency in reading and proficiency in producing technical transcripts of recorded speech.
• Students will be able to identify discourse patterns that characterize institutional contexts of language use.
Required Texts
o (LF) Vedrana Mihalicek and Christin Wilson. Language Files. 11th edition. The Ohio State University Press. ISBN: 9780814251799
o (CA) Jack Sidnell. 2010. Conversation Analysis: An Introduction. Wiley Blackwell. ISBN: 9781405159012

Please bring whichever book we are working with you to each class session. We will frequently work with excercises and examples in the book during class.
Course Requirements
o Comprehension of linguistic analytic terms and procedures: demonstrated in homework assignments, two take-home midterms, and a non-cumulative final exam. Exams will include short definitions and analysis problems.
o Engaged and active participation: accomplished through contributing to class discussions and completing work in class (individually and in groups) on practice exercises.
o Peer education: accomplished by presenting one mini-lesson (5-10 minutes) on a relevant topic of your choice during the course of the semester.
Grading structure
5 Midterm 1
Midterm 2
Final exam
Grading: Grading for this class follows the standards for letter grading that appear in the Geneseo Undergraduate Bulletin.
A / A- Excellent work
B+, B, B- Very good work
C / C+ Satisfactory work (i.e. work that fulfills all stipulated requirements for an assignment and is turned in on time)
C- Work demonstrating minimal competence
D Marginal work
E (failure) Inadequate work
Other possible grades are: P (pass), F (fail), S (satisfactory), U (unsatisfactory), and W (withdrawn). Consult the Bulletin for details about these latter grades.
Accommodation: If you need classroom accommodations due to a documented or suspected learning difference, please contact Dean Buggie-Hunt (firstname.lastname@example.com) at the Office of Disability Services (ODS) and bring me a letter outlining the accommodations you require. Do so as early as possible.
Laptop Policy: Use of laptops during class is not permitted. Come to class prepared to take notes the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper. Recent studies indicate we learn better during classes when we are not working on a computer. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, we are more likely to think about, synthesize, and remember information when we write longhand than when we type notes on a computer. Second, with easy access to the internet most of us will succumb to the temptation to electronically multi-task during class, and this significantly diminishes learning, not to mention distracting others who happen to be nearby. Keep your laptop and phone stored in your bag during class and turn your cell phone ringer off. Students who violate this policy will be asked to leave for the rest of the class session. If you have extenuating circumstances that require you to keep your ringer on during class, please let me know in advance.
Assignment submission: Students will turn in hard copies of assignments at the beginning of class on the day each assignment is due. Assignments turned in after this deadline will be docked a half-grade per day of lateness (e.g. a grade of B will be registered as a B-). To turn in a late assignment, take it to the Department of Anthropology and ask the department administrator, Beverly Rex-Burley, to put the assignment in my faculty mailbox. LATE ASSIGNMENTS MAY NOT BE SUBMITTED IN CLASS.
Academic Honesty
Familiarize yourself with the SUNY Geneseo policies on academic honesty. You are responsible for abiding by them. http://bulletin.geneseo.edu/first/?pg=01_Student_Affairs_policies.html

1999 Honda Accord • 140,000 miles
My 1999 Honda Accord has inconsistent firing plug 2nd from left. Mechanic told me to try Aldor non fouling plugs. I researched and learned it could be a bad PCV valve or camshaft cover seal. Only one cylinder affected, no exhaust smoke and compression is 150 + on that cylinder. What do you think it could be?
July 12, 2012.
July 12, 2012.
I was told seal was leaking oil into that cylinder, which was fouling plug, yet no smoke.
If its not smoking what make them think its a valve seal/stem/guide-Are you using OEM part on the plugs-if its fouling use a hotter plug and see what happens
If it is the plug tube seals that is leaking, there would be no smoke as oil is not getting into the cylinders. Instead the oil is causing bad conductivity and could have damaged the coil wire.
Is the plug tube seal you mention, the same as the valve guide seals. The original was missing on ALL cylinders, later determined to be loose wires on contact pin of ignition module. Before that the car ran great, no problems. Afterwards, one cylinder doesn't fire, and leaking inside head was given as reason, with repair of $1200 as solution.
No, the plug seals are those under the valve cover. There are O'rings under the cam carriers as well.
How can the valve guide seals be missing? They are not easily removed unless someone forgot to reinstall them when cylinder head was worked on.
What are the compression on all cylinders?
Were the valve clearances checked and adjusted?
Do you have oil in the plug tubes?

Do you have oil in the plug tubes?
The valve guide seals are not missing. I didn't say it well. I meant the original PROBLEM was the engine was missing all cylinders because of loose ignition module wires. The problem is now pretty much solved. Your advice to check the fuel injector was good, as the cylinder wasn't getting fuel, so thanks. Another, better mechanic found there was a pulse through the injector and agreed with you that was no oil leak in the missing cylinder. The problem turned out to be a faulty wire connection in that part of the wiring harness just behind the valve cover. When he moved the harness slightly, all cylinders fired again, including the bad one. He explained that the loose wire was the one activating the fuel injector for that cylinder, so it wasn't getting fuel, even though it was getting spark. It's running fine, although I may have to eventually take apart the protective shield on the wiring harness and check the connection for the affected wire. Thanks for all your help; you definitely pointed me in the right direction.
Ensure the connectors are good. Quite often the locking tabs breaks off as they becomes brittel due to age. This would result in the connectors not being locked securely into position and can cause a break in the circuit.
Jul 14, 2012.
Jul 14, 2012.
Will do. The original problem of loose wires on the ignition module caused the engine to run very rough, which probably jiggled the connection inside the harness loose and caused the 2nd problem. Thanks again, for pointing me in the right direction.

Tyler Haldeman of Colonel Crawford attempts a shot against Crestline in North Robinson on Thursday night. The Eagles defeated the Bulldogs 47-38. For more photos go to www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com. / T-F photo by Beth Thompson
NORTH ROBINSON -- Crestline hounded league leading scorer Austin Smith, limiting his offensive motion and holding him to seven points.
All that did was allow the other Eagles to show their stuff.
Tyler Haldeman scored 13 points inside and hauled in eight rebounds, while Brandon Tackett chipped in with 10 points, and that was enough for Colonel Crawford (8-3, 12-5) to come away with a 47-38 win on Senior Night.
Coach Dave Sheldon knows that this team has to have some depth to be successful, and on a night when points were a premium, he was happy to see Smith's teammates respond.
"First off, give credit to Crestline for defensing us so well. They chased Smitty throughout the night, and fortunately for us, we have some players who can step up. Tyler and Brandon hit double figures, and Danny (Sherer) had nine.
"We didn't shoot it as well as we have been, but we got a win, and that's what counts."
The Eagles allowed the Bulldogs to hang around by shooting 13 for 34 in the first three quarters.
But an opportunity was wasted by Crestline, as the Bulldogs could only make 11 of 31 during that same stretch. Throw in a two for eight performance from the line, and it was surprising that Crestline only trailed 30-27 entering the final quarter.
"They have two good post players in (Michael) Stewart and (Zach) Carroll, and they got some looks inside that really hurt us," noted Sheldon.
But the Eagles raised their offensive and defensive level in the fourth quarter to pull away.
They scored the first six points of the final stanza, and the Bulldogs were forced to foul.
The Eagles made five of six free throws down the stretch to seal the deal. They hit six of eight field goals in the fourth quarter while holding Crestline to two of nine.
Sheldon acknowledged that his team survived a tough challenge at home.
"Everybody's after us now, I told the kids. When you're in the top half of the league, teams want a piece of that. It can make their season. We are the hunted now. We used to be the team that was hunting. Fortunately, we came out of here tonight with a win."
Justin Auck paced the Bulldogs with 12 points.
Brett Kaple's JV Eagles won their second game in a row with a 35-23 win over the young Bulldogs.
Dylan Frederick had six points to pace Crestline, while Carson Britton had 14 to lead all scorers.

I have a typical requirement wherein I need to keep a button in highlighted state after pressing it. I need to perform a task which should work only when a button is in highlighted state. Actually I am setting a button state to highlighted programatically.
[sender setHighlighted:YES];
And once the button is in highlighted state i need to perform another action.
- (IBAction)changeState: (UIButton*)sender
if (sender.highlighted == YES)
[self performSomeAtion:sender];
But, to my horror, whenever I press any button, the above condition is becoming true and the action is being performed repeatedly. Is there any way in which i can keep a UIButton's state to be highlighted after pressing it?
EDIT - Actually I need to perform 3 different actions for 3 different states of the button. I am already making use of selected state and normal state. Now, I need to make use of the highlighted state.

A task force involving three local law enforcement agencies, and two federal agencies raided several Clayton County convenience stores and homes, on Wednesday, that were allegedly conducting illegal gambling operations.
Officers, investigators, deputies and agents from the Forest Park Police Department, the Clayton County District Attorney's Office, the Clayton County Sheriff's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Internal Revenue Service executed search warrants and arrest warrants in a broad crackdown on illegal gambling in the county.
"We raided and seized eight convenience stores, and gas stations, as well as a couple of homes that we believed were operating illegal gambling machines, according to information we had received," said Clayton County District Attorney Tracy Graham Lawson.
Forest Park Police spokesman, Lt. Cory L. Cloud, wrote in a news release that the raids came after months of investigations into alleged commercial gambling that was taking place across the county. He added that approximately $63,000, five vehicles, and more than 50 gambling machines were seized during the raids.
Lawson said a house was also seized, and was turned over to a receiver for the courts.
She said the places that were raided were spread out across the county, in Forest Park, College Park, and Hampton. Four of the locations were convenience stores in Forest Park, according to Cloud.
Further questions about the raid, including the number of people arrested, were directed by Lawson, to Clayton County Sheriff's Office Spokesman Brian Crisp. However, he could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

2006 Peugeot 207 • 2WD Manual • 43,000 miles
My peugeout 207's ignition coil pack is registering as faulty, would that explain a loss of power. The problem started over a year ago when the power loss was only on start up, now, however it happens more regularly and a DPS fault has registered on the car's computer. Many of the forums have said that replacing the coil pack does not necessarily solve the problem. The mechanic said that the ignition coil pack fault was the only fault that showed up on diagnostics

Debra Walker's curator insight, February 11, 3:10 PM
I will confess that I do have a personal preference when it comes to my seat selection (and that includes a resounding "no" for that middle seat! It's my choice all right - last choice!). My choices are usually aligned with the length of the flight but have noted that when I was travelling more regularly for business, the luggage was lighter and the need to get out faster was stronger and drove my seat selection. Now that I am travelling mostly for myself, I actively like to push aside the mentality of passengers that have to stand up to depart almost as soon as the plane wheels have touched the ground. Does keeping your seatbelt on just a minute more really restrict your freedom? Really....that extra 2 minutes really isn't going to have that much of an impact on the value of my day and is why I often times now choose a window seat when I'm an aisle kind of girl.

As a travel writer I am always interested in the printed word and how to get it out.
Mark Muller's curator insight, November 27, 2014 6:28 PM
I think this technology can definitely replace Q-codes. You don;t need to point your phone camera...just activate "Shazam" to listen.
Alicia Popescu's curator insight, December 9, 2014 4:51 PM
This is a great way to bridge the gap between advertisement and buying behavior. In terms of music in advertisements, consumers would be able to Shazam the ad, find out more about the product, but also learn about the artist featured in the ad. They may download the song and keep listening to it, simultaneously building brand equity for the product.
Kendrick Anderson's curator insight, November 6, 9:00 PM
Another way that Music and Branding are coming together is through new breakthroughs like the Shazam mobile app using it's music capabilities to interact with everyday shopping. who would of ever thought?

"A Chinese tourist who returns home with a memorable experience to share can be a powerful ambassador for a brand, said Philip Guarino, co-founder of the consulting firm Emerging Market Luxury Advisors.
"You are dealing with a demographic, not a geography, so you need to think in nongeographic terms," Mr. Guarino said. "Some brands have 150 store locations in China alone," he said. "But their cash registers are in Europe and the United States."

Transportation Soldiers use fellowship to better community
December 9, 2009
By 13th Sustainment Command Expeditionary Public Affairs
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq - The 49th Transportation Battalion, out of Fort Hood, Texas, held a men's prayer breakfast Dec. 5 at Joint Base Balad, Iraq, as part of its effort to leave the community here better than they found it.
"This was a follow-up to Chaplain (Capt. Carlos A.) Molina's women's prayer dinner," said Lt. Col. Peter Haas, commander of the 49th Trans. Bn. and a Fleetwood, Penn., native.
Haas said the women's prayer dinner was a big success, so a men's event was requested.
"The goal was to focus on ministry to men and give men the opportunity to worship without offending anyone," said Molina, chaplain for the 49th Trans. Bn., 90th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) and a MayagAfA1/4ez, Puerto Rico, native.
Molina said the two events, which featured worship music, readings from the Bible and a short sermon, allowed him to offer fellowship catered to a specific demographic without leaving anyone out.
The event, open to men at JBB, was part of an effort by the 49th to improve the community.
"What I'm trying to do is reach out beyond the battalion," said Molina.
Though his area of expertise is in the field of ministry, Molina said the 49th has begun a sort of "good neighbor project" to improve JBB as a whole.
"As part of the Balad community, we felt like we should do something to make it a better place to serve," said Haas.
Earlier this year, the 49th adopted Killeen Field, an athletic field at JBB, as part of this project.
Volunteers from the unit clean the field three to four times a week, said Hass, and the 49th coordinated with the 90th Ordnance Battalion to install new lights and build a shed next to the field.
"We live on a large post," said Molina, "and we're part of a joint effort."

"Mad Men"'s Jon Hamm isn't ready to make an honest woman out of Jennifer Westfeldt, his girlfriend of 13 years.
Though recent reports claimed the actor, 39, was secretly engaged to the former "24" star, Hamm cleared things up when UsMagazine.com caught up with him at Charlize Theron's Africa Outreach Benefit in NYC Monday.
"That rumor comes up every six months or so it seems," Hamm told Us. "But if you hear anything different, you let me know."
So what's the hold-up? According to the actor, being in a successful longterm relationship isn't always easy.
"Like anything else, you pay attention to it and work hard at it," he explained.
Perhaps the actor has good reason to be cautious about settling down: he previously told Parade that both he and Westfeldt, 40, grew up in divorced households.
"I don't have the marriage chip," he said. "Jen is the love of my life, and we've already been together four times longer than my parents were married."

What do you know about fighting aliens? If the first thing that popped into your head was, "You need to wear a black suit, dark sunglasses and carry around a blinky-thing tool," then you are definitely qualified to become one of the Men in Black. The blinky-thing tool is actually called a Neuralyzer, but that's just getting technical. The people whose memories you erase won't care what you call it, because they won't remember anyway.
So, once you get a Men in Black costume to give you the smart, cool look of an official agent you'll need to choose an agent name. These agents generally go by a letter of the alphabet so you don't need to go crazy, just pick your favorite letter. You'll be all set to hunt down rogue aliens and keep the unsuspecting people of Earth safe from intergalactic harm.

Pushkar Sane | December 30, 2010 | Comments |
In today's hyper-connected world, is spending millions of dollars on repeat exposure still effective?
Most marketers understand concepts of reach and frequency very well. Significant amount of time (and money) are spent in maximising reach and optimising frequency to achieve brand goals — awareness, consideration, trial, sales, advocacy, etc. The concept of frequency emerged when the world was disconnected and the media was analogue. The basic assumption behind 'frequency' was based on a simple belief — repeat exposure to advertising leads to better comprehension and therefore awareness or consideration or trial or sales.
In a nutshell it assumed that the people receiving advertising were a bit slow (in message comprehension) and repeat frequency was required to educate them. It almost looked like a 'social service' that is paying dollars for repeat exposure so that wider society can be educated about greater good of products and services sold in the marketplace. The concept was very promising and marketers flocked to it. It was included in the marketing theory and maximising reach at three plus frequency (at least) became a gospel. As a result we now get bombarded with the same ad copy (often boring) again and again and again and again and again and again and again. Until media planners run out of options to spend their budgets.
This approach worked well for many decades and the industry kept getting better at it. It was a picture perfect party before Internet came to the party along with band of digital devices – mobile phones, gaming consoles, MP3 players, tablets, etc. – connecting people across demographics, geographies, and passion points. It made access to information and entertainment really easy. It provided avenues for people to observe, express, and share their opinions in real-time. It permanently changed the way people receive, accept, and interpret advertising.
Today, in this hyper-connected world, people respond to advertising in a very different manner. When a person is exposed to an advertising message for the first time it either fails to catch attention or generates curiosity. If it fails to catch attention then repeating it a few more times with a hope that next time the person will be receptive is similar to 'not writing an exam but hoping to pass — behavior.
Let's consider the second scenario when the ad actually generates curiosity. There are multiple reasons for being curious. The person exposed to advertising might be in-market for buying the advertised product (service) or have just bought it or is in general interested in the category (for example auto enthusiast, techie, foodie) or has an opinion based on past/peer group experience. In any case curiosity is likely to trigger information search, evaluation of reviews, seeking guidance and expressing opinions in non-linear manner. So next time the person is exposed to the same advertising message it looks less relevant, as it is the same mass message and the person knows much more than what is stated in the message. Third time the same ad is displayed or aired it becomes a mild irritant and fourth time it turns into nuisance.
There are exceptions when the advertising is very entertaining and in such cases people actually share it as entertainment through various digital platforms leading to free exposure through 'earned media'. When one takes a hard look at ads around us it is disappointing to see that they're largely about exaggerated product claims and are terribly low on entertaining value. When was the last time you watched a boring piece of content and then repeated its viewing? But the industry ends up spending millions and millions of dollars on repeat exposure of advertising that is low on entertainment value thereby causing negative sentiment from people who are subjected to it.
So what should we do? First we must better understand people who receive advertising and respect the fact that people want simple yet meaningful messages delivered to them in real-time. Post that they're smart enough to figure out things on their own and through support from their networks. Secondly we need to enable their quest for more information/evaluation/entertainment by providing tools and applications that can enhance their experience. Most importantly we need customised creative units that help in generating curiosity and provide a bit of entertainment.

My little girl was born 4 weeks early at 5 lbs 14oz on 8/17... She gained her birth weight back within 10 days and was 8lbs 7 oz when she was 3/4 weeks old. She now weighs 10lbs!
