The NBA's Miami Heat has equipped its AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami with four remote-control robotic pan-tilt-zoom HD camera systems from Canon. The system is used to support the team's TV broadcasts, large-screen displays and facility monitoring.
Inside the Arena, one Canon BU-45H remote-control robotic pan-tilt-zoom HD camera is mounted just beneath a giant scoreboard high above center court used to capture overhead shots of game action. These shots are used for both the TV broadcast as well as close-ups of fans, which are displayed on the arena's large scoreboard (made up of four 16ft by 9ft screens). A second Canon BU-45H remote-control camera is mounted in a corner to provide wide shots.
Designed for outdoor use, two additional BU-45H remote-control cameras serve the team's broadcast and service applications outside the arena. One, located in the West Plaza, is used to capture POV shots of fans arriving through the AmericanAirlines Arena's main gates. That video is displayed on the 3400sq-ft MiamiMediaMesh screen mounted on the exterior of the building.
When not shooting fans entering the Arena, the Canon BU-45H remote-control camera in the West Plaza can also be aimed at the MiamiMediaMesh screen to provide video confirmation that the giant display is working properly. It is also used to capture POV beauty shots of downtown Miami.
The Miami Heat's fourth Canon BU-45H remote-control camera is mounted on the east side of the waterfront arena and is used to provide beauty shots of Biscayne Bay as well as coverage of the arena's East Plaza, where the Heat marketing department stages events for fans.
The BU-45H combines a Canon three-CCD HD camera with a Canon 20X optical zoom lens (4.5mm-90mm), a remote-control pan-tilt system and a weatherproof outdoor housing. The camera portion of the BU-45H employs three 1/3in (1,670,000-pixel) CCDs and delivers 1920 x 1080 16:9 HD video via an HD-SDI serial digital interface. The camera also includes a remote-control three-position neutral density filter, an auto focus function and image stabilization technology.

Affair-Proof Your Marriage
Dr. Tim with Jan Harrison on her new book, "Life After The Storm."
When does true love give in? When does true love push back? Break Through by Dr. Tim Clinton and Pat Springle shows you how to love and how to set effective limits so that everybody wins.While most of our relationships may be healthy and satisfying, we often have one or two important people who change the rules and drive us crazy--a deadbeat dad, an alcoholic spouse, a wayward child, a demanding boss, a lazy roommate.When you really care about someone, it's easy to get stuck in painful, even destructive patterns--caving in to a spouse's manipulation, ignoring a live-at-home son's irresponsibility, not confronting a friend's addiction. We excuse people again and again, and then kick ourselves for not setting better boundaries.

Preparation of nanoparticles by continuous-flow microfluidics
We review a variety of micro- and nanoparticle formulations produced with microfluidic methods. A diverse variety of approaches to generate microscale and nanoscale particles has been reported. Here we emphasize the use of microfluidics, specifically microfluidic systems that operate in a continuous flow mode, thereby allowing continuous generation of desired particle formulations. The generation of semiconductor quantum dots, metal colloids, emulsions, and liposomes is considered. To emphasize the potential benefits of the continuous-flow microfluidic methodology for nanoparticle generation, preliminary data on the size distribution of liposomes formed using the microfluidic approach is compared to the traditional bulk alcohol injection method.

As women constitute half of the world population, it is essential to involve women in the decision making process. Participation of women in decision making at all levels is the need of the hour. Though women participation has been growing overtime,yet it is far from satisfactory level. In India, it is not only minimal rather very complex. As household is the basic unit of any economy,it becomes essential to examine the role of women in decision making within a household. Decisions of household ultimately affect the whole economy, therefore the present study tries to analyse basically the role of urban women in decision making in the household economy. It attempts to explain the role of urban working and non-working women in Karnal district of Haryana state from different dimensions. The study is basically descriptive and emphasis has been laid on status of women and comparative study of both the Categories. The study employs uniform disproportionate stratified sampling technique to collect relevant information. Fifty working and fifty Non-working women were selected as sample for the study. To analyse the urban women's decision making power, thirty major decision areas have been identified.

A lap of Le Mans with Andy Wallace
The 24 hours of Le Mans is one of the most famous and challenging motor races in the world. For a sports car driver it is the single most important and prestigious event on the racing calendar.
One of Dyson Racing's super-experienced sportscar drivers, and arguably one of the most successful in terms of his race-winning achievements, is Andy Wallace. The ALMS and Grand-Am regular, who won Le Mans in a TWR Jaguar in 1988, is approaching his 16th event at the La Sarthe track - more than any other Briton on the grid.
His view on what it takes to succeed in the biggest motorsport test of man and machine is based on many years of hard-earned experience, and he has already been able to bring that experience to bear in a very positive way with the Creation Autosportif team with whom he is contesting the 73rd running of Le Mans. The relatively new team is making its debut this year, and Wallace, together with Creation's regular drivers Nicolas Minassian and Jamie Campbell-Walter, is anxious to fulfil the promise shown to date by the electric blue DBA-Judd.
Below is Andy Wallace's lap of Le Mans:
"The circuit itself is very fast, with long straights and quick corners, and demands much from both man and machine. It features high top speeds and areas of heavy braking. Successful cars need to have speed, durability and extreme aerodynamic efficiency.
"Oh, and by the way, for a driver this is one of the most exhilarating circuits in use today, and certainly one of my favourites.
"From the start/finish line there is a short straight heading towards the Dunlop Chicane. You just reach 6th gear and about 260kmh as the road bends gently right. With the road still turning you have to brake and go down into 2nd gear, taking care not to let the rear of the car get away from you.
"Dunlop is a tight left followed by a slightly faster right. I use 2nd for the left which helps keep the car tight in to the apex, into 3rd before the right. Then gently feed on as much power as possible through the corner, up to 4th for the blast downhill to the Esses. Before you get there you have to negotiate a flat out left/right which leads you into the Esses. It's easy flat, but causes a few problems if you catch slower traffic at this point.
"The Esses are a quick left then right, taken in 3rd or 4th gear. You arrive in 4th or 5th, go down one gear, and then keep as much momentum as possible. You can go quicker than you first think. It's bumpy and the road drops away towards the exit, so you need to stay tight to the right-hand apex before the short sprint to Tertre Rouge".
"Tertre Rouge is a short 3rd or 4th gear right-hand corner. It's important to get a clean exit, as it leads onto one of the fastest straights. No real problems here, except for a dip in the road just after the apex, which can unsettle the rear.
"The straight down to the first chicane gives the driver a brief "rest" before heavy braking for the right-left-right chicane. The quickest cars are travelling at over 310kmh here. It's hard to pick out just where the corner is, especially at night. From as early as possible in the week you need to pick out the distance markers in order to get your bearings. You can brake incredibly late if the car has enough downforce, and then pull the car into the first apex with the brake still on, and down to 3rd gear. There is always some understeer through the left part, then you can go full throttle moments later and onto the next straight leading down to the second chicane.
"The second chicane is basically the same as the first, but in reverse. The same applies here; except that the arrival speed is about 5kmh less, meaning you can brake a few metres later. The exit is bumpy, but there is no problem using full throttle. This leads you onto the straight towards Mulsanne corner.
"Mulsanne corner is a slow 1st or 2nd gear right-hander. You arrive at about 290kmh, and can brake quite deep. It's bumpy and easy to overshoot the corner here though, so you need to ensure you drag enough speed off before turning-in. Traction is difficult, so you must feed the power on gently before the blast down to Indianapolis.
"You approach Indianapolis at around 310kmh. This is one of my favourite corners. The road is quite narrow, but you can carry massive speed through the right-hander in 5th or 6th gear then must immediately jump on the brakes to lose enough speed to make the 3rd gear left-hander. This part is banked around the apex, but level on the exit, so it's easy to suddenly use up more road than you thought on the exit.
"Next comes Arnage, a slow 1st gear right-hander. It is difficult to stop for this one, and therefore easy to overshoot. The exit is slippery and uneven, so wheel spin is a problem. This leads to the twisty but flat-out run to the Porsche curves.
"The Porsche curves are a flowing combination of fast sweepers. You arrive in 6th gear at about 280kmh, go down to 4th under braking, and then keep as much throttle and momentum on as possible through the right-left-left-right-left. These are quick corners and are important for a good lap time. If the car is working well here you can win time. The last part is an off camber left. It's easy to slide off the edge of the road on the exit, and you need to lose speed in a hurry if you feel yourself running out of road. Just after the exit there is a flat-out right-left taken in 5th gear on the way to the Ford chicane.
"The Ford chicane is really two left-right chicanes back to back. I use 3rd gear in the first one before downshifting to 2nd for the final corner. This leads back onto the pit straight, and into another lap of this amazing circuit.
"It takes quite a number of laps around Le Mans to feel comfortable with the circuit and the high speeds. With each lap you complete, you "nibble" at the lap time, braking deeper and deeper into the chicanes as you get acclimatised, and carry more and more speed through the quicker corners. As you get close to the limit, the feeling is very satisfying.
"By the end of the 24-hour race (if all goes well!), you will have completed well over a hundred laps (per driver), and feel as though you could drive around the place blindfolded.
A year later, and you find yourself going through the learning curve all over again, in a new car. I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
Creation will be next seen on the Le Mans track when practice/qualifying starts at 7pm (local time) on Wednesday 15th June. Four hours of track time are available on both Wednesday and Thursday. The race itself begins at 4pm (local) on Saturday, 18th June and finishes at 4pm on Sunday.

Party on?
By Jim Griffin - San Luis Obispo
Democratic Party spokespersons and so called "progressive" pundits on TV are constantly wringing their hands and in a panic about "what's happening to the modern Republican Party." They spend hours talking about what the Republicans must do to "get back into the mainstream." They worry and agonize about the Tea Party dragging the Republicans so far to the Right that the party will fracture and—gasp!—disappear altogether, destroying the "two-party system." Yada, yada.
First of all, who says that it has to be only a two-party system, and if it ends up being so, that it has to be these two parties? Parties have come and gone all through American history. Some disappear, and others arise to displace them and take their place. Both major parties today started off as third parties in their own time. Why can't other third parties do that now or in the near future? No one should worry that if one fractured right-wing party disappears, another one will not pop up to replace it. As long as there are ultra-wealthy plutocrats, there will be at least one right-wing party—along with something akin to the Democratic Party, which is nothing but another Republican Party in sheep's clothing.
Hand-wringing Democrats/progressives should remember one of the principles of Sun Tsu, the Chinese military leader and philosopher. He once said—and I paraphrase—"If your enemy is determined to destroy himself, do not interfere." Let the Republicans eat their own tail and go down in flames. What have they done for you lately? Progressives who still self-defeatingly support the Democrats need to worry about and examine what they are doing and who they are supporting—and think about a new and different kind of party, a genuine, working peoples'/oppressed peoples' party altogether. Leave the right wingers to stew in their own juices and foul themselves, and good riddance!

Beck sources clips from artists' Instagrams for latest video
Beck's latest music video is a collage of clips sourced from various visual artists on Instagram. The video for single Wow, directed by the musician himself together with Grady Hall, brings together short videos by exciting creatives such as Sam Cannon, Randy Cano, Andy Gregg, David McLeod, John McLaughlin and Steve Smith.
The video combines footage of Beck performing on a busy motorway, spliced with random clips such as Sam Cannon's eerie film of an eyeball blinking inside a rose, Randy Cano's melting thumbs-up hand, David McLeod's globular digital forms and John McLaughlin's big-eyed furry characters. Cowboys, headbangers and a young dance troupe also feature in Grady and Beck's part of the video.
On Andy Gregg's Instagram, the artist explains he was asked by Beck's production team to contribute some of his artwork to the video, for which the concept was "a music video art gallery". All contributing artists are credited and linked to on the video.
In June we spoke to artist Jimmy Turrell on his lyric video for the song, which he worked on with Bráulio Amado and Antonio Vicentini. Watch his talk from Nicer Tuesdays here.

Olivia's birthday is days away. Plans must be made. Who makes plans? Moms! Who simply must know the plans? Olivia, who is NOT above eavesdropping. But when she not-so-accidentally-but-kinda overhears her mom talking about her not-so-squeaky-clean-and-possibly-very-bad-behavior, Olivia's imagination runs wild…because it sounds like not only will there be no birthday, but Mom might just be sending her to military school instead. What a BAD birthday that would be!
Passport to Reading Level 2
When Froggy and his family go to visit Grandma, they look forward to all kinds of fun: a baseball game, a trip to the amusement park, a visit to the museum to see the Frogga Lisa.
But best of all is cooking with Grandma and learning to make her specialty, spaghetti with fly sauce.
Froggy's antics everywhere he goes will delight his many fans.
The special bond between a mother and her child begins well before the baby is born. But once the baby is born and starts to grow into her own person, traits from both parents begin to show themselves in delightful and humorous ways. When I Carried You in My Belly is a mother's song to her growing daughter, capturing the warmth and magic of the time when her daughter was housed inside her belly. The girl's laugh, her love of music, her sweet disposition, and her carefree attitude can all be traced back to her time in her mother's tummy, when her mother would laugh, sing songs, eat yummy treats, and dance the day away.
Thrity Umrigar's lyrical and playful text are well complemented by Ziyue Chen's soft and delightful illustrations, and together they create a sentimental and insightful book about the special bond between parents and children. With a similar tone to On the Night You Were Born and the spirit of I Loved You Before You Were Born, When I Carried You in My Belly is primed to become a new timeless classic.
Dear Teacher, Whenever I had something to tell you, I tugged on your shirt and whispered in your ear. This time I'm writing a letter. So begins this heartfelt picture book about a girl who prefers running and jumping to listening and learning—and the teacher who gently inspires her. From stomping through creeks on a field trip to pretending to choke when called upon to read aloud, this book's young heroine would be a challenge to any teacher. But this teacher isn't just any teacher. By listening carefully and knowing just the right thing to say, she quickly learns that the girl's unruly behavior is due to her struggles with reading. And at the very end, we learn what this former student is now: a teacher herself.

"This is an essential tool for parents and teachers to share with children whether those kids identify as trans or not. I wish I had had a book like this when I was a kid struggling with gender identity questions. I found it deeply moving in its simplicity and honesty."—Laverne Cox (who plays Sophia in "Orange Is the New Black")
From the time she was two years old, Jazz knew that she had a girl's brain in a boy's body. She loved pink and dressing up as a mermaid and didn't feel like herself in boys' clothing.

Journey into a dazzling new world when best friends Sophie and Agatha enter the School for Good and Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy-tale heroes and villains. Sophie, with her glass slippers and pink dresses, thinks she'll earn top marks at the School for Good. Meanwhile, Agatha, with her shapeless black frocks and wicked black cat, seems a natural fit for the School for Evil.

Soman Chainani has created a spectacular world that Rick Riordan, author of the bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, says "reimagines the world of fairy tales and will make you question who is good and who is evil" and Newbery Honor–winning author Ann M. Martin calls "a fairy tale like no other, complete with romance, magic, humor, and a riddle that will keep you turning pages until the end."
Castor has always been a stray, prowling with his pack in the back alleys of Lion's Head. That is, until the day that he's captured and taken to a dark laboratory full of terrifying creatures. They're called Unnaturals, and they're made to fight.
Soon Castor is transformed from a mutt into a powerful beast with huge eagle wings—and he's thrust into the fighting ring. He knows he'll need all of his courage to survive. But it will take unexpected human and animal allies and something even more than courage for him to save the Unnaturals....
A house is a home for you, a nest is a home for a bird, and a cave is a home for a bear. But for some animals a shell is a home.

All night, they huddle together in the safety and warmth of the hollow, as the thunder claps and lightning flashes outside. In the morning, the storm has calmed, but the animals still hear the grumble of thunder in the distance. Imagine their surprise when they find the noise is coming from a bear! From 10 to 1, all of the animals scurry out of the bear's lair to find a big, beautiful day outside.

I climb. Although a harsh wind and sleet sweeps
these hills, my temperament remains steady.
Although the path is treacherously steep
I have been thoughtful, I have come ready.
The footfall here is few and far between
and some who came to conquer, could not cope.
As I push on past the point where they've been,
I look into the mist that holds my hope.
Joy lies beyond a helm wind of despair
and must be battled with to be surpassed.
I will prevail here knowing that it's there.
I'll conquer fell and fall so I'll be passed
to where tranquility abounds below,
throughout the valleys of the rain shadow.
Here I exist, cowering underneath this monstrosity.
Each breath a constant reminder I am still alive.
Wiping the liquid nerves from my quivering hands.
Wanting to slip away between the deafening cracks.
Swallowing my last drop of reality, a harsh cold sting.
There is no turning back now.
Little Samantha McGee was climbing up a tree.
Branch by Branch she went further and further up with glee.
Till she got to the top, it was quite a drop.
Poor little Samantha McGee lost her grip on that tree.
Down and down to the ground she went yelling, "oh dear mother please catch me."
But it was not to be, for you see it was all a dream.
Little Samantha McGee won't be climbing in any other trees.
My shoulders a mountaintop
My mind a sky
Would you climb?
Will you fly?
Fall down
We grasp at everything
But as we drown
We realize we have nothing
Climb back up
We continuously fight
Take each step even though
We barely see light
Walk a mile
We want to give up already
But we can't help but smile
At the progress we're making
Run toward the skies
We reach for the blue
And we rise
To enjoy the view
I remember the nights
when I used to climb
into your window
To jump into your bed
Panda woman, that is me
Wears a mask and is chubby
Climbing up a bamboo tree
I see nothing beyond
No turning around
All life is withdrawn
The bottom not found
My stomache will sink
As I am pushed to the brink
Despite being so close
I still want to fight
The end nobody knows
I move with death in sight
Out comes survival instinct
As I am pushed to the brink
Suddenly I begin to fall
The air is rushing me
Life is beginning to stall
The end is here finally
Yet I can't help but think
As I am pushed to the brink
I grasp for anything
Because I'm not done yet
Can't just let death win
Still too much regret
I refuse death's drink
As I climb from the brink
I dove in head first--
didn't think about it
let the huge bubble
around me burst--
ignored the warning signs
of shallow water all around
not the least fearful
of landing on the ground
instead of the murky, watery sea--
but the ground came fast
and slammed right into me--
still I got my ass right back up again
and climbed that huge ladder
all determined to be the one to win
and jumped this time feet first--
and yep,
still made that bubble burst,
but this time I landed smack into the sea
and swam far, far away from here
seems it was finally my time to just be free!
Early morning, still asleep, but awake. Driving.
Trail head, moving, but still asleep. Starting.
Early blues, dirt and cold, move. Hiking.
Sunrise, waking up, seeing green. Accepting.
Light and day, a smile, and examination. Upwards.
Afternoon, some food, energized. Suspense.
Another start, a drink, you see it. Anticipation.
Final push, sun overhead, sweat. Breaking.
A moment, you're there, the peak. Relief.
A pause, a rest, the magic. Beauty.
Postpone, delay, but down again. Exhaustion.
Aching, sore, but worth it. Descent.
Time, darkness, back again. Driving.
Ahead -- another mountain, tall, for tomorrow. Sleep.

While it may be a bit of a verbal stretch, the temptation is great to call events last week, one in London, England, and the other in St. Petersburg, Russia, dueling grain conferences. In London, the International Grains Council's annual conference celebrated the 60th anniversary of the agreement that created the Council. Several days earlier, the first World Grain Forum was held in St. Petersburg under auspices of the Russian government. The latter, promised as a new annual event, centered on rationalizing the global grain situation while proposing an export cartel to assure returns for producers of grain.
The choice of "dueling" to describe these two reflects primarily how different were their themes. Both drew large crowds, from governments and trade. For the I.G.C., the focus was on the Council's great success in providing essential information about grains (wheat, coarse grains, oilseeds and rice) and as a place where governmental issues affecting global trade in grain may be discussed, debated and resolved.
Like other elements of Russian domestic and foreign policy, the St. Petersburg conference sought to establish the growing importance of Russia and its Black Sea neighbors in grain marketing. Forecasts pointed to sharp expansion in crops and exports, including a rising share of world trade originating from this sphere. Most telling was the proposal to set up a cartel of Black Sea grain exporters, whereas the I.G.C. audience heard praise for fostering open and competitive trade in grains.

"I can't thank you enough for persevering with us through the recruitment process and finding us our candidate. I am so very hopeful that he is going to significantly help our global team and myself in particular."Katharine Gotto Walton Director, Synergy Global Consulting
We engaged Oxford HR to help us with a very challenging recruitment – Head of Evidence for the Start Network. They kept the whole process moving forward, on time, with professionalism and humour. They asked us to interview someone who didn't on first impressions fit the profile, but they used good old fashioned instinct, based on deep understanding of the NGO world, to suggest we would like each other. And we did!Sean Lowrie Chief Executive, Start Network
"I have been in contact with Oxford HR as a candidate and the experience has been extremely rewarding. Of course, it had to do with being finally selected to which I had applied but I have to say that the positive experience of interacting with Oxford HR would have remained the same even with a different, less pleasant outcome. I have particularly appreciated: the very approachable team of consultants within Oxford HR, so constantly available to guide me through the process; their direct, fruitful and helpful feedback at every stage; the capacity to consult the Oxford HR consultants on personal concerns and to see that they would care for them in the appreciation of the matters… I would like to be able to advocate for such an effective, human-oriented head-hunting company, which in my experience, compares so favourably with bigger consulting companies."Pierre Moreau-Peron HR Director of IFAD
"We have engaged Oxford HR a number of times… understand our organisational culture… appropriate range of candidates… quick and well-informed response… delighted to have Oxford HR as an international partner…"Brian Doolan, CEO Fred Hollows Foundation
"…a quite exceptional field of candidates, which more than met our expectations. You put the candidates through their paces, and gave us detailed feedback … enabled us to agree a strong shortlist. … every possible assistance with the negotiations that followed …"Michael Ward, Chair Twin & Twin Trading
"[They] managed the process extremely professionally and with integrity and a personable touch helping to source great candidates, maintain a personal Gatsby feel to the recruitment whilst taking all the weight off us through the process. Importantly [they] helped to filter and ensure the fit was right and that candidates were well briefed and genuinely interested and suited to us."Justin Highstead, Africa Executive Gatsby Charitable Foundation
"Four key factors have convinced us of the benefit of using Oxford HR in future:Mark Clark CEO, Generations For Peace
• your extensive search capabilities…
• your professional guidance and advice…
• your really useful LongList and ShortList Reports…
• your excellent communication and regular updates throughout
Thank you for all your support, and we look forward to working with you again on our next international recruitment."
"I am really thrilled to be part of GFP. And I think Oxford HR's application process played a large role in my getting the job. It was straightforward and quick, and what I appreciated most is that it is also considerate towards the applicant… For people who are in the beginning of their careers like me, it is very helpful to learn how to make a compelling case from the employer's perspective… I felt I had a clear idea of what was expected of me and what to expect from GFP… Oxford HR made it much easier to be informed and in turn be confident that we make a good match."Mariyahl Hoole Successful candidate for Generations For Peace
"I wish you well in your work and look forward to keep in touch with you. Thank you for your gracious feedback. This further attests to the high priority Oxford HR places on managing its human resources and relationships."Dagang Recent candidate
"I was in the midst of a recruitment process at the UN… Now, I can tell you that I have accepted a position based in Nairobi. It is truly a role that fits me perfectly… I also want to thank you for your tremendous help during the past period. Your support in assessing my qualities and interests, looking out for appropriate jobs, preparing for interviews, following up and encouraging me during the job seeking process, has been fantastic!"Maarten Coaching and Outplacement client

"Then he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel."It stuck me as I read the verse that there is a simple acronym contained in the text that could be a very helpful way to think about prayer.
"Then he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel."T - thank
I - invoke
P - praise
Take a moment in prayer to thank God for the many things he does in our lives. He gives us breath, beauty, bounty, blessings, and many other things that begin with letters besides B. The Book of James says that 'every good and perfect gift' come from God, and we can express our gratitude to him by taking time in prayer to thank him.
Invoking God in prayer can take all kinds of forms. It can be a call to God for his help. It can be a request to God asking him to step in a make a situation right or for protection. When we invoke God during prayer we are pleading with him to interject himself someway into our lives and to do something that only He can do.
This is the part of prayer that involves recognizing the greatness, grandeur, and goodness of God. Praising God is a combination of thanks and compliment and awesome reckoning at who God is. It is a celebration of God's grace, love, power, compassion, justice, and sovereignty. In prayer we praise God by declaring back to him who He is, and who He has revealed himself to be through Scripture.
