Making Money From Your Images; An Online Event Photography Solution Page 2
Gomez stresses, "What's best though is that the e-commerce storefront
is completely transparent. My clients are on my website, looking at my photography
and then they can buy the images they want."
Gomez's website has been a large part of her success, as it helps her build awareness in her community and at the events she shoots. "Name-brand recognition is key," she says, noting "that takes a lot of work." Her online sales galleries are customized with her branding, and her orders are sent out under her name, where possible; the involvement of the professional service is almost completely transparent. Gomez's brand is as front and center in her online operation as it is in the rest of her business. Those efforts have paid off, sometimes in flattering ways: high school students captured by her lens and featured on her site have been known to "act like I'm famous when they finally meet me," Gomez recounts.
For all of her current success, Gomez started out as a hobbyist with a comparatively
low-end camera and the skill necessary to wring the full potential from her
equipment. Online galleries with a supporting sales system allow her to easily
put her best work forward, and generate revenue from that work.
These online photographic exhibition and sales services are a pivotal part of an explosive trend in the industry, that of hobbyist photographers turning semipro and letting their hobby help pay for itself, or finding new career paths opening and making the leap to becoming full-time professionals. In launching the Shutterbug Storefront, Shutterbug magazine hopes to help its readers turn their passion for photography into profit. With industry-leading pricing, and a special free offering for Shutterbug subscribers, the barrier to entry has been lowered to permit any photographic enthusiast to try their hand at selling their work.
Gomez's photography sales site can be reached online at: www.jodygomez.com. Readers interested in getting started on their own site can learn more at: www.shutterbugstorefront.com.

LA-Honolulu Race - Dismasting, debris and dazzling speed
by Transpac media on 16 Jul 2013
Phaedo dismating - 2013 LA-Honolulu Race Lloyd Thornburg/Team Phaedo
Today, in the 2225-mile LA-Honolulu Race organized by the Transpacific YC, or the Transpac, it was a glorious day for some teams, but not great for others.
Earlier today the Transpacific YC received the following report: 'At 1830 UTC (1130 PDT) Phaedo dismasted in location 28 58.247N 130 09.576W. Everyone onboard is fine, we have secured the boat, cutting away the mast and section of the boom, and are now heading towards the LA area under engine.
'At the time of the dismasting we were sailing under A4 at around 16 kts.'
A sat phone interview with the team indicated they thought the top of the mast failed first, and then the rest came down soon after. The true wind speed was about the same as boat speed: 16 knots. No indications yet of what exactly failed, but this will be examined once Lloyd Thornburg's Gunboat 66 is safely back to shore.
Without enough spar left to set a jury rig, Phaedo is headed back towards LA under power, making about 6 knots. At this speed the team reckons they have about 250 miles range in fuel, which means they will require fuel assistance to complete the remainder of the trip to the coast.
Other teams have been facing other dangers, reporting floating debris that if hit could cause serious damage to any boat, but particularly carbon fiber race boats traveling at high speeds. For example, Chip Megeath's R/P 45 Criminal Mischief in Division 4 sighted a 15-foot chunk of floating telephone pole at 28 31.25 N 129 21.66 W, and Ross Pearlman's Jeanneau 52 Between the Sheets reported a 35-foot tree trunk floating 100 yards off her port bow at approximately 28-18N 134-59W.
Finally, Bob Hayward's Seastream 650 Manatea still leads the fleet to Hawaii in Division 8, but said they struck a 10-foot section of what probably was a telephone pole at 28-35N 138-54W. Manatea and crew are OK and sailing, but also reported miscellaneous floating pieces of lumber, 'like the structure of a house.'
No doubt these are all pieces of wreckage from the March 2011 T?hoku Tsunami tragedy in Japan, making its way in the currents the circulate around the north Pacific. Transpacific YC has advised all mariners to maintain a sharp lookout.
But the other news is good: the fleet is still hurtling fast towards Hawaii at dazzling speeds, and course records are not out of the question as Giovanni Soldini's canting-keeled Volvo 70 Maserati rolled off another 400+ mile day (423 to be exact) to average 17.6 knots, and thus also take the Division 1 lead in corrected time from David Askew's R/P 74 Wizard.
At these speeds Maserati and Syd Fischer's Elliott 100 Ragamuffin 100, who is only a few miles away, are both on record pace: Neville Crichton's R/P 100 Alfa Romeo II in 2009 set the monohull course record of 5D 14H 36M 20S in 2009 for an average speed over course of about 16.5 knots. Whoever finishes first would win the Merlin Trophy for fastest monohull in the race, but if a record falls they would also win the Transpac Honolulu Race Elapsed Time Trophy, aka the Clock Trophy, donated by Roy Disney, which he himself won on Pyewacket in 1997 and again in 1999.
And the Barn Door Trophy for the fastest of the fixed-keel entries could not only go to Wizard if they maintain their lead, but they might even beat their own record time of 6D 19H 44M 28S set in 2011 when sailed as Belle Mente if her current pace of averaging 16.3 knots is able to hold.
But its still early days, and these teams still have many miles to cover before surfing into the finish line at Honolulu's Diamond Head.
Nonetheless, the Division 1 speedsters have already overtaken some of the boats in Thursday's Division 4, 5, and 6 starters. At midday today Division 6 was being led by Jeff Urbina's Santa Cruz 52 Bodacious Dream, while Division 5 was still being led by Gordon Leon's Farr 40 Foil, and Division 4 by Bob Pethick's Rogers 46 Bretwalda 3.
And like yesterday, Isao Mita's Judel/Vrolijk TP52 Beecom leads a Division 2 filled with similar designs, and Roy Pat Disney's Andrews 70 Pyewacket leads the ULDB Sleds in Division 3.
The weather for the next 24 hours is expected to remain about the same for boats in the middle and front of the pack, with the trailing boats on the course possibly escaping a light air patch that has been forecasted to develop at about 130°W

RANSOM TWP. - Just over two months after state police arrested her, a former township secretary Monday pleaded guilty to theft charges.
At a final pretrial conference held in front of Judge Michael Barrasse, Kathy Zielinski, who is accused of stealing close to $100,000 from the township's coffers, pleaded guilty to a second-degree felony count of theft by unlawful taking, township solicitor Edmund Scacchitti said. Lackawanna County Deputy District Attorney Shane Scanlon confirmed the guilty plea.
Mr. Scacchitti said he didn't know whether a sentencing date has been set.
"The court will be balancing between the fact that there may be no prior criminal history, versus the severity of the charges," said Mr. Scacchitti in response to a resident's question about the possible length of her sentence. "The charges are serious."
After 18 years as township secretary, Ms. Zielinski resigned in March - days after a township audit of 2011 finances revealed thousands of dollars were misappropriated.
On Sept. 25, state police at Dunmore arrested her on theft charges amounting to $99,228.84.
Mr. Scacchitti said he is hopeful the township will recoup some of the money lost through the bonding company and other sources.

Whilst I can easily buy into the need for such a standard to exist, it's always bothered me that we've been forced into reverting to type whenever SCORM comes into the debate. The philosophy forces one into creating packages of sequenced content for learners to play through. Enter Tin Can. And using Tin Can, I can know this.
Learning Without Strategy

Mindmeld; there's an app for that. Last week I attended the Learning Without Frontiers conference and the Learning Technologies exhibition. LWF was a pretty profound affair. As Dan Pontefract put it; LWF is the TED of learning. These words stuck with me as I experienced the rest of the conference and I began to link Chomsky's thoughts back to my own world. Nothing. Nothing.
The 4 pillars of Gamification
Stoatly Different
I'm often challenged on what qualifies as a 'game' My favourite definition of a game comes from game design guru Jesse Schell who said that " a game is a problem solving activity, approached with a playful attitude ". That's a pretty broad brush, but I don't think you can actually get one much finer. Dig a little deeper though and you realise that it's probably not the case. Wrong!

Simple rules, complex behaviours: gamification and learning
Stoatly Different
One of the most common criticisms of gamification for learning is the belief that gamification techniques can only reinforce a simplistic, behavioural approach, when what we really need to foster is creative knowledge creation. Increasingly, I don't see a conflict. believe one can lead to the other. You don't score goals without taking shots on goal. The same is true of creativity.
Evaluating Training - Capturing the Benefits Aspects of ROI
Training evaluation is necessary and, in many ways, critical to the success of a business. But because short term priorities always seem to take precedence, it is typically something we plan to do better in the next course, or maybe next month, or even next year. After all, we've managed pretty well up to now, so surely another year can't hurt!

Learning from social learning
Stoatly Different
For the last couple of weeks I've been facilitating an online LAB, courtesy of the Masie Consortium , investigating social learning. We set out to investigate three key areas: 1. How is the role of social learning evolving in our organisations? 2. How is curation impacting the social learning mix? 3. What effect is gamification having on social? To facilitate the investigation we decided to eat our own metaphorical dog food and do the whole LAB online as a social learning event. We used Curatr to seed content for discussion into a series of sequential levels. Did we learn anything? Not a bit!

A couple weeks ago we finished up with the facilitation of an 8 week course at the University of San Diego using Curatr , our new platform to get learners engaged in a Social Learning experience.

Can Gamification avoid becoming the next business fad?
Stoatly Different
It's official, the buzzword of 2011 is 'Gamification'. I say 'official' in the loosest possible sense but I'm going to give myself a +1 for 'eye-catching statements' either way. Whilst the learning world is stealing a slow and suspicious march towards the concept of Gamification, the wider business world is setting off like Usain Bolt in hunt of the nearest KFC. The idea is simple. Work is not.

Stoatly Different
This post first appeared at Learning Solutions Magazine. So I've had a bit of a bugbear for a while and I'm starting to feel that I'm not alone. It's 70/20/10, the oft-quoted model from which we derive that the majority of learning happens from on the job experience, as opposed to learning from peers or in a formal learning environment. That's not to say that I think the importance we give to informal learning is wrong, far from it. It is more that I think we've got the wrong model at the heart of the movement. Learning Styles "seemed to fit." different model perhaps? So what's my point?

Social Learning: Answers to 8 Crucial Questions
Stoatly Different
I've got an odd relationship with the notion of social learning. Whilst I'm often at pains to remind people that social learning is nothing new, I'm acutely aware that the term is today a much broader one than it has been in years gone by. But 'social' is something of a pariah in the corporate learning world, at least increasingly so it would seem.

Companies end up wasting millions of dollars each year on ineffective training practices.

Don't you wish that you had a swimming coach like this when you were at school? After training, the coach - parading around in the tiniest pair of togs you've ever seen - orders his boys to stay behind. After a verbal dressing down he tells them to line up, bend over and touch their toes he walks along behind the row, admiring the gorgeous line of tight little asses. Pulling out his dick, he feeds it into the guys' throats one after another, finally telling them to get stuck into one another. This kicks off a massive five man orgy in the locker room, with the coach spunking down each guys' throat and also watching them suck each other.

Sheikh Hasina - Prime Minister of Bangladesh
Sheikh Hasina has been Prime Minister of Bangladesh for the last three and a half years. It's her second term in office and throughout her time at the top she's attracted controversy and criticism in equal measure.
Bangladesh is densely populated, desperately poor and riven with corruption and political violence.
Back in 2009 Sheikh Hasina vowed to clean up government and heal the country's divisions. So what's gone wrong?

First amateur image of another solar system captured
London: An astronomer in New Zealand claims
to have captured the first amateur pictures of another solar
system from a tiny telescope in his back yard.
Rolf Olsen, a New Zealand-based astrophotographer, has
published the first non-professional pictures of the disk of
debris and dust swirling around Beta Pictoris, a very young
solar system.
Incredibly, the 12 million-year-old system, some 60
million light years away from our own, was captured with only
a 25cm telescope, a newspaper reported.
The material that forms the proto-planetary disc around
Beta Pictoris has been photographed by large observatories
before, but it was not thought possible for amateurs to take a
picture of the system, due to the glare from the star itself.
But by capturing an image of a similar star and
subtracting it from the picture of Beta Pictoris, Olsen was
able to eliminate the stellar glare, revealing the dust disk.
Olsen says he first gathered fifty images of Beta
Pictoris. Then he collected similar pictures of another star
that is similar in colour and brightness Alpha Pictoris. He
subtracted the image of the second star, removing the glare.
The raw image of the material disc looked scrappy, so
he blended it with the original image of Beta Pictoris using
photo editing software.
Olsen wrote on his website: "The result is, I
believe, the first amateur image of another solar system: The
proto-planetary disc around Beta Pictoris. I must say it feels
really special to have actually captured this."
Olsen`s observatory is located in Titirangi in the
foothills of Waitakere Ranges west of Auckland.

DUBLIN, Mar. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets
) has announced the addition of the
"Graphene Materials for Opto & Electronic Applications 2014"
report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769)
Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) material with exceptional properties, such as ultrahigh electrical and thermal conductivities, wide-range optical transmittance and excellent mechanical strength and flexibility. These properties make it a promising material for emerging and existing applications in printed & flexible circuitry, ultrafast transistors, touch screens, advanced batteries and supercapacitors, ultrafast lasers, photodetectors and many other non-electronic applications.
Although graphene technology is still in its infancy, remarkable progress has been made in the last few years developing graphene production methods. Numerous opto and electronic devices based on graphene have been demonstrated on lab-scale models. However, the numerous challenges of graphene technology should not be underestimated. The lack of bandgap in graphene is its key fundamental challenge. Other technology challenges are related to the development of industrial methods to produce graphene with high and consistent quality at acceptable costs.
Although today there is no graphene-based electronic application in mass production, several companies already offer commercially graphene materials. The graphene material market value in 2013 was about $11 million, represented principally by the demand for the R&D and prototyping. Two scenarios for the future market growth are presented in the report. According to the base scenario, the global annual market value for graphene materials in opto and electronic applications will reach $141 million in 2024, featuring a 2013-2019 CAGR of 18.5%. Accelerated market growth is expected after 2019, with a 2019-2024 CAGR of 35.7%. In 2024, the graphene material market will be represented mainly by the demand for transparent conductive electrodes and advanced batteries and supercapacitors.
In order to reach the best possible performance on lab-scale devices, high quality materials are required. Material suppliers able to consistently deliver high-quality materials have a competitive advantage on the graphene market.
The booming interest in graphene technologies has led to a high demand on graphene equipment. As shown in the report, CVD equipment makers today mainly focus on the R&D equipment used to produce high-quality graphene.

Endace sale to US firm approved
Relevant offers
United States company Emulex Corporation has been given approval by the Overseas Investment Office to acquire Kiwi hi-tech firm Endace for $150 million.
Endace, a company which began life in 1995 at Waikato University, helps clients monitor vast amounts of internet traffic for security and traffic management.
The company listed on London's junior Aim market in 2005 but its management recently admitted the listing had not worked well.
The Emulex deal drew controversy in December when co-founder Selwyn Pellett said he had "very mixed feelings" about the sale because of the millions of dollars in government technology grants that Endace had received.
Pellett said it would have been better for taxpayers if the Government had given funding in the form of an investment rather than grants.
Only 17 per cent of Endace is owned by New Zealand shareholders, who will net $30m from the sale. Fairfax NZ

To date nearly 1,000 Lebanese civilians have been killed by Israeli bombs; thousands more have been injured, many severely, and nearly 1 million people, mainly from the south and the southern suburbs of Beirut, have been rendered homeless. That is an astronomical number in a country of only 4 million people. By comparison, it would be the equivalent of 75 million Americans being forced to leave their homes. Hurricane Katrina forced the evacuation of roughly 1 million.
In retaliation, or maybe the bombing of the bridges was in retaliation — does it really matter anymore who 'retaliates' first? — Hezbollah fired more rockets into Israel. The death toll in Israel stands at 85, including some 43 soldiers.
Meanwhile, an entire country is being systematically destroyed as the world sits idly by, and politicians watch Lebanon burn. All that's missing are the lyres and the crowns of laurel. The fires are plentiful, compliments of the bombs. Lebanese police counted nearly 4,000 Israeli artillery shells being lobbed on the country just this past Saturday. ~Claude Salhani

Outstanding 4.7 /5 from 72 reviews
4 star, quiet, multi-lingual, pleasant helpful staff, acceptable free brekfest (although nothing out of the ordinary business of cold cuts, bread, scrambled eggs, etc). We're guessing that the hotel was just recently opened, in that the bathroom sink was not yet secured to the granite base. Pillows, mattresses, linens, were tip-top! View of the old city from our room.
The best hotel we stayed in during our holidays in Rumania. Excellent staff, very helpful with our logistical needs, excellent restaurant with Great food and service. Really nice hotel in perfect spot of town.
One of the best hotel deals I have ever found, and I travel frequently. Only 2 years old, but furnished to look like its been there forever. Excellent free breakfast. Perfect location. Literally right outside the city walls, which is where you want to be, especially if you have a car. Oh and protected parking. A true 4 star hotel.
Great hotel in a convenient location. Everything about this place was first class. Quiet, comfortable, excellent restaurant and service. Five minute walk to the entrance to the old castle.
One of best hotels I ever stayed out. Reception upgraded me to deluxe suite at no cost. The breakfast was amazing. My room was overlooking the plaza with beautiful view of medieval structures. The bed was super comfortable. It looked like 800Euro a night hotel but for small fraction of that. The reception people were extremely professional and caring about the guests. I would return here anytime.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
