Las Vegas, NV, January 07, 2014 --(PR.com)-- On New Year's Eve, "The Light", the first-ever nightclub by the creative minds behind Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas (Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino), launched new designs by renowned Fashion-Tech Designer Anouk Wipprecht as a celebratory crowd rang in 2014. "The Light" is known to combine cutting edge technology with out-of-this-world aesthetics, and as such, they invited Anouk to explore her work on wearable electronics and experiment with a set of technology-equipped, coordinated performance pieces to enhance the Cirque du Soleil experience. In turn, Anouk integrated techno-teasing and interactivity into her creations to compliment the mindset that Cirque du Soleil stages. On New Year's Eve, her effect-based designs found their match in the technical marvel that surrounded the nightclub. Among these designs were elements designed in collaboration with Italian architect Niccolo Casas and 3D printed by Materialise.
This event marked the second collaboration between Anouk Wipprecht, Niccolo Casas and Materialise (the first being the Smoke Dress) and continued Anouk and Niccolo's study on how to combine the body and technology with 3D Printing. The 3D printed elements were brought to life through Laser Sintering and hosted four independently controlled shoulder pieces with strobe-effect 20W High Power LEDs shining through the shape. With wireless synchronisation as part of the animation control system, Anouk and her team (Matt Pinner and Daniel Schatzmayr) developed an independent interface based on custom made PCB boards connected with an network adaptor to a credit-card-sized Linux-based Beagle Bone. All together, this simplified the rapid deployment process by having an minimum power footprint. TouchOSC (Beagle Bone uses Android 4.0) enabled the designs to be controlled within the unpredictable realms of the tunes and beats of the venue.
The Fesitivities Continue for CES January 7-9th, 2014
During CES - the famous global consumer technology tradeshow in Las Vegas - "The Light" will combine out of this world cutting edge technology with pulsing electronic music of the world's top DJ's during a full evening of performances and acrobatics with Cirque du Soleil's highly skilled team. Anouk Wipprecht's designs, including the 3D printed pieces, will be highlighted during showtime.
The Light, Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas - January 7-9th doors open at 22.00

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

We were told it was the Accelerator Position Sensor, and that we could put it in ourselves, but the part is $500. Do you know where we can buy the part, other than the dealer? The dealer is quoting $500 for the part alone.

Totally agree with Micksh6.
I own an E-P3 and have have played with an E-M5 on a couple of occasions alongside it.
The AF speed is identical as far as I can tell.
The 14-42 MkII zoom is a very good perfomer,(as is the 40-150 kit tele-zoom) while it may not have the most robust build due to the collapsible design compared to a prime or more expensive zoom.
However if you have the extra money, the E-M5 has WR build which can be a real advantage in rainy or dusty conditions (so long as you have a WR lens mounted). For me that is only reason I'd want to change up as I'm still happy with the E-P3's performance optically and operationally.

They mentioned, but in fact there is no wifi. Rooms are very small and even you cannot put your small bag. Each room has two beds and were very small. When slept, both beds were shaking. It was horrible and want to cancel, but they said cancellation fee is 100% which means they will not return any money and you can go anywhere. All in all, I cancelled and went somewhere else.

ISLAMABAD Pakistan successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable ballistic missile on Wednesday, the military said, less than a week after rival India tested a missile capable of delivering nuclear warheads as far as Beijing and Eastern Europe.
Pakistan's Shaheen-1A is an intermediate range ballistic missile, capable of reaching targets in India. Military officials declined to specify the range of the missile.
The missile's impact point was in the Indian Ocean.
India and Pakistan have fought three full-scale wars since they were carved out of British India in 1947. They conduct missile tests regularly and inform each other in advance.
Pakistan conducted nuclear tests in May 1998, shortly after India conducted similar tests.
U.S. intelligence estimates last year put the number of nuclear weapons deployed by Pakistan at 90 to 110. Analysts say the strategic U.S. ally's nuclear arsenal is the fastest growing in the world.
Pakistan, like neighbouring India, is not a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT).

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

A great little place and a must do in Ashland. A wide range of small desserts and excellent coffee drinks. The location on the cornere gives you a excellent place to people watch.
Great place for dessert! The affogato is amazing as are the ice creams in general. The service is upbeat and friendly.
We aren't night owls, and we generally don't like to eat a late dinner. We recently visited Ashland to see "The Wiz" (which doesn't start until 8PM). We'd already stopped for a lovely but late lunch at Belle Fiore Winery on our way into town, so we really didn't want to eat again before the play.
Solution: I picked up...
It is obvious that this place takes pride in the food and drinks they offer. My absolute favorite is the morning bun, which is the PERFECT blend of sweet, flaky, moist, croissant/cinnamon roll. It is amazing. Paired with a cappuccino with beautiful latte art on top, it just doesn't get much better.
My partner and I have just returned from a four-day/three-night stay in downtown Ashland, OR, visiting friends, celebrating my birthday, and taking a breather from hectic LA life. Our hotel, Ashland Springs Hotel, is super close to Mix and I had already done my due diligence in scoping out places to eat and drink in downtown Ashland that I knew...
After a invigorating hike through Lithia Park we stopped in for a Breve. Mine had the most amazing ❤Flower on top but unfortunately I didn't get a pic. Sammy and the rest of the crew were Amazing too. Definitely a return visit kind of place!
Great desserts and the sandwiches are very delicious, although limited selection. Come here at least 20 times in the last year for a wonderful extra dry cappuccino that all the baristas do very well. The desserts are rich, decadent, although the chocolate tort is very firm, so take your time and eat small bites.
Coffee was great baked goods were fantastic! However service is very very slow it didn't matter if it was packed or no one in line....
A small shop that looks like nothing, but with divine pastries, almond croissants to die for, fancy coffees and ice cream. They have lovely baguette sandwiches for lunch. On the Plaza.
Fresh baked goods, homemade ice cream and excellently pulled Stumptown coffee! Perhaps a touch pricey and yet we keep going...

Back in the day before Bratz, before Argentinean TV imports, Hannah Montana, Dora the Explorer or Bob the Builder, school supply buying and the supplies themselves were kinder, gentler things.
Growing up in New York City and attending a Queens yeshiva, life was so much simpler than the grand shopping expedition buying school supplies for the kids has become these days.
You know the scene: You get dragged to the mall and for three hours, your child explains why he or she simply must have a new schoolbag with the picture of the Kids TV or Teen Show Star of the Month emblazoned on it, or a pencil case featuring the latest TV or teen heartthrob.
Oh, for the good old days. Somewhere in our boidem is my first grade notebook, the classic black and white, hard cover model, still intact, filled with pictures cut out for every letter of the alphabet, from A to Z. I don't remember buying that particular notebook, but its sheer survival testifies to its obvious advantage over today's flimsier types.
Back in the day, we carried our books to school in "book bags" or "briefcases," as they were called, which seemed to expand at will, especially if one had a particularly winning day at flipping baseball cards during recess.
The bags had several simple compartments, some of which I used to hide a variety of cream cheese and jelly sandwiches I would rather not talk about, but which my mother discovered in various stages of decay months later.
The bags had this great leather smell to them, too - the kind that lingered in my father's briefcase when he came home from work, and his son smoothly slipped The New York Times out of it. No jelly stains in there.
THERE WERE other simple additions, for sure, to the list of items we kept in our bag and were purchased for school: A box of circular reinforcements for loose-leaf notebook sheets, with which we and the other guys occasionally spelled out obscene remarks on the bathroom mirror in later years. There was a pencil case with a pull-down, plastic drawer that usually contained our very best marble, among other things, a couple of No. 2 pencils, and a pencil sharpener so tiny and simple it never produced a point that didn't eventually crack off, usually in the middle of a test.
No flashy markers existed back then. There were no seemingly endless sets of what my kids call "iparon hodi," but what we knew simply as mechanical pencils and were the stuff of nerds only. We stuck to the No. 2s, and added a stubby eraser to go with 'em. Somewhere, a poor janitor is still sweeping up the columns of eraser dust I created with that thing. And there was a bottle of glue that managed to crust over so badly no matter when we bought one, it only dripped out a few, highly ineffective drops before we had to buy another.
Far more important than the briefcase itself was its accompanying device, however: the lunch box. Now here was something to get excited about. Because while the sandwiches usually ended up in the bottom of the briefcase, they started out in the lunch box, and your lunch box told the world who you were.
For months we lobbied for a Roy Rogers lunch box and after throwing a few fits, actually got one. Years later, it found its way to the scrap heap, replaced by a more "mature" model. We don't think Roy, Dale and Bullet ever forgave us.
But the ultimate sign of class in grade school was simple: How many crayons did you have? While in first grade, it was still acceptable to have a small box of six Crayola crayons, by sixth grade, nothing less than the 64-color box (burnt sienna, anyone?) was required or you were categorized a wimp. Watching the crayons shed pieces of themselves as they were sharpened was fascinating in itself, but placed on the radiator that ran the length of the classroom during the winter, they yielded drippings that fell on the floor that rivaled even anything Jackson Pollack could do. Even today, we'd kill for a box of 64.
Once we made it to high school - public high school, where we made regular contributions to the young hoodlums whose daily shakedowns became part of our routine on our walk home - we couldn't be bothered with book bags anymore. Now it was simple. All we needed was one rubber strap, swung around the increasingly uneven collection of biology or chemistry texts, large history tomes, foreign language books and notebooks, and others, with a bag lunch tossed in there somewhere, usually mashed by the time we got around to eating it.
IT WAS around this time that we discovered perhaps the single most useful school supply of all time. The Bic pen not only could be used to fire vicious spitballs through its tubing during lunchroom exchanges, as bigger, foil-wrapper ones whizzed by, but could also be employed in magic tricks - watch the cap snap back onto the pen. Voila! - and most importantly, remains the single best tool for respooling cassette tapes bearing vital information that suddenly unreel during a crucial interview review.
By the time we got to college, it was less the school supplies and more just getting the actual classes you wanted that mattered. The notebooks got thicker - multi-subject jobs with little tabs separating them, and razor-thin markers became our writing implement of preference. No. 2 pencils had long been relegated to the taking of SAT and other standardized tests. We're certain that years from now, archeologists will likely discover those pencils and brand them some kind of ritual object.
They were earlier, better times, when reading, writing and arithmetic seemed to matter more than just who was on Gossip Girl or some other TV show last night.
So when your kids start hassling you about the new school bag they simply must have, check the boidem and see if your old briefcase, lunch box or first grade notebook are still there. Pull 'em out and show them that simple can be just as good - or better. And remember: Roy Rogers would never date any of the Bratz girls.

A place to buy alcoholic beverages and to mingle/meet with non player characters. Bars in games are sometimes essential to advance the plot, or recruit party members. Bars are the modern equivalents of taverns. You see taverns in fantasy games and bars in modern/sci-fi games.
On Flotsam Island the winds only blow inwards, meaning that no-one can get off by ship.
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...
A vast expanse of deep water.
A sea vessel used by pirates. This category includes both deserted and or sunken pirate ships and sea worthy pirate ships.
A prison is a secure location built for the confinement of a person or persons for a set length of time. It is often built by the state to punish criminals, and sequester them from productive members of society.
Tropical islands have been featured in major games such as Far Cry and Monkey Island. With the technology now available to render lush vegetation and sparkling sea water, this location has become increasingly popular.
