HOME > Press Releases > Panasonic Announces PT-RZ670U Projector
PANASONIC DEBUTS SOLUTIONS FOR RANGE OF ENVIRONMENTS AT DIGITAL SIGNAGE EXPO 2014Displays, projectors and software among technology to be highlighted at Booth #101
Las Vegas, Feb. 12, 2014 – Panasonic System Communications Company of North America will showcase new displays, projectors and software at Digital Signage Expo 2014. As a leader in a broad range of technology solutions for industries such as retail, education, security and hospitality, Panasonic will present products for a range of environments, from outdoor sports facilities to school cafeterias and department stores. Among the new products on display are the PT-RZ670U lamp-free projector, TH-47LFX60U ruggedized and weatherproof outdoor display, TH-47LFV5U video wall display and ET-SWA100 status-monitoring software, which enables customers to have clearer insight into the maintenance needs of their products.
"Companies across industries are embracing the benefits digital signage can offer, allowing them to respond more quickly to environmental changes, reduce paper waste and better attract the attention of customers, students or other stakeholders. Having a deep understanding of the specific challenges our customers face enables us to deliver solutions that can adapt to a variety of environments, whether it's a bus stop in Phoenix or a restaurant in New Hampshire," said Art Rankin, Senior Director AV Technologies.
New Products on Display at Digital Signage Expo 2014:
• TH-47LFX60U Ruggedized and Weatherproof Outdoor Display: The TH-47LFX60U display delivers a high-brightness of 2,000 cd/m, producing vivid images even under direct sunlight. Because of its extreme durability, the display can resist temperature changes ranging from - 4 °F to 122 °F. IP55 level dust and water resistance makes it ideal for outdoor installations, such as drive-through menus and public transportation signage. The TH-47LFX60U will be available in Spring 2014.
• TH-47LFV5U Video Wall Display: As a highly durable display, the TH-47LFV5U can run non-stop, leveraging a cooling fan that can be set to operate automatically at high temperatures. Additionally, the display offers high definition and a wide viewing angle, making it ideal for high-traffic areas such as airports or museums. The display is also well-suited for the surveillance market, offering a super narrow bezel for seamless multi-screen layouts. The TH-47LFV5U will be available in Spring 2014.
• Early Warning Software: The ET-SWA100 software monitors compatible Panasonic products connected to it – including all projectors and most flat panel displays in the DSE booth. The software enables customers to monitor devices remotely and receive alerts when a unit is not functioning correctly, has failed or needs maintenance. The software can also suggest maintenance scheduling and monitor device temperature to avoid future issues. As a result, customers are able to minimize downtime and reduce costly, inefficient visits.

Uneasy Listening: 04/08/11
What gets us through the work week over here in "Revolver-land," as Lars Ulrich calls it? Hard rock and heavy metal, of course. (And occasionally something a little softer. Hey, you got a problem with that?!) So every Friday we're going to be posting some of the albums that our staff has been rocking over the past week. Maybe you'll find something you like—or at least something to bust on us about.
Brandon Geist
Editor in Chief
Meshuggah, Obzen
"We're working on a 'nu-prog' roundup story for Revolver, and a shitload of the bands covered in that cite Meshuggah as a primary influence. That inspired me to brush off my copy of the Swedish math-metal maniacs' last album, and damn, it still crushes. 'Bleed' and the title track, in particular, are among the heaviest songs they've ever laid down."
Jesu, Ascension
"Godflesh are one of my favorite bands, and as loyal fan, I've followed main man Justin Broadrick into the more mellow territory of his current project Jesu. I've liked a lot of the Jesu shit in the past—the Heart Ache and Silver EPs, and the split with Envy come to mind—but this new one is just boring and doesn't really bring anything new to the formula. Focus on a new Godflesh album, J.K., and bring that band to the U.S. already!"
A Pale Horse Named Death, And Hell Will Follow Me
"The way I consume music is I usually latch on to a particular band or album and listen to it pretty much nonstop for a few weeks until it makes me physically nauseous to hear it again. Two weeks and counting on this one."
Kory Grow
Senior Editor
Primate, Draw Back a Stump
"Brandon shared this with me because he knows I'm a major fan of Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth fame. At first I wasn't too impressed with it. The group—which also features Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher—plays kind of sloppy first-wave hardcore. But on that same note, the track that's making me come around to it is their cover of Black Flag's 'Drinking and Driving.'"
Jane's Addiction, Ritual de lo Habitual
"I've lately been pretty excited about hearing the forthcoming Jane's album—mostly because I hope it's better than their last reunion album, Strays. As such, I recently revisited Ritual, which was one of my favorite records when it came out. No band since—including Jane's Addiction—has found the sweet spot between hardcore, metal, reggae, hippie jams, and pop heard here. I'm just happy this still holds up, and I'm cautiously optimistic for their new album."
Merciless, The Awakening
"One of my all-time favorite death-metal albums. This was the first release on deceased Mayhem guitarist Euronymous' Deathlike Silence label. It kicks off with a song called 'Pure Hate' and only gets more pessimistic. It's too bad more people don't know it—this record ranks up their with early Morbid Angel and Obituary releases, as far as death metal goes, plus the lyrics sound genuinely threatening."
Josh Bernstein
Creative Director
Sucking the '70s, Parts 1&2
"This is a great stoner-rock compilation that came out a few years back. Easy concept: Take killer '70s songs like 'Working for MCA' and 'Honky Cat' then make it heavy as shit. Sold! Definitely good driving or sitting on your couch music."
Dead Kennedys, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
"The DK's first and arguably their best record. Spy guitars, manic rhythms and Jello's enraged vocals still sound as fresh today. Why aren't bands this upset anymore? There's way more bullshitty political things going on now… Speaking of bands that need to come back and get super angry…"
Rage Against the Machine, The Battle of Los Angeles
"This is their last record of original music and it is much more accessible and crushing than I originally remember it. Nice to dust off some old records and hear some real hidden gems like the songs found here. Maybe in some weird alternate universe Rage and the DKs can play a double bill together…"
Web Producer
The Ruts, The Crack
"I could probably list this one for most weeks out of the year. One of the best punk records ever? Without a doubt."
Wire, Pink Flag
"Saw them live at the Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday night and have been listening to Pink Flag ever since...mainly because I didn't hear any of it on Wednesday."
Queens of the Stone Age, Rated R [Deluxe Edition]
"What more needs to be said about this one than: 'Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol'? I'll tell you what: 'C-c-c-c-c-cocaiiiine'"
Stephen Goggi
Art Director
Smashing Pumpkins, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
"They are the best alternative band to come out of the '90s. Better than Nirvana, better than Pearl Jam. 1979? Yes, please."
The National, High Violet
"I'm a bit late to this album, but better late than never. Stroke my inner hipster."
Mineral, The Power of Failing
"Because my pussy hurts."
Marketing Coordinator
Guns N' Roses, Use Your Illusion I
"I was madly in love with Slash as a child..xoxoxo."
Black Dahlia Murder, Miasma
"Love this album!!! I'm shocked that someone who looks like Trevor can sound like this."
Metallica, Garage Inc
"My favorite cover ever is 'Whiskey in the Jar.'"
Jimmy Hubbard
Photography Director
Bloodlet, The Seraphim Fall
"Been a huge '90s hardcore kick this week! A lot of Deadguy, Kiss it Goodbye, noisy stuff! But Bloodlet were such a different brutal band, techy, evil, intense, and just kind of weird. I loved the previous album, Entheogen, and was initially thrown of by the production of The Seraphim Fall. But it's a great record, stands up still!"
Tombs, Path of Totality
"New record out this June, angry, noisy blackened metal with some great dark almost gothic parts, but still with a New York hardcore attitude. Best record they have done. On this release, they really come into their own!"
Graveyard, Hisingen Blues
"I'll be honest, I did not think I was going to like this record. I love a lot of the '70s metal/rock throwback stuff like Witchcraft (also from Sweden), Witch, and Blood Ceremony, but just kind of thought the new Graveyard record was going to be 'meh.' But it's great: awesome production, great songs, memorable melodies, and great playing and still heavy."
Editorial Intern
Deathspell Omega, Paracletus
"I'm not a huge black-metal fan, but these French dudes do it different. It's like if Gojira went black metal."
Alban Berg, Wozzeck
"I saw this atonal Austrian opera at the Met on Wednesday. Unbelievable music. It drips with unsettling atmosphere."
Behemoth, Demigod
"After Wozzeck, I had this weird urge to listen to Behemoth. Both seem to blend dissonance and sensuality so well."

The year was 2003. Everywhere around the NHL, there was excitement about the annual entry draft – not because there was any great sense that this would yield one of the greatest bumper crops of prospects in years, but because it was being held in Nashville for the first time. Nashville, with its cowboy culture. Nashville, with its great hospitality. Nashville, because of Tootsie's and all the great gin joints on Broadway, just across the way from the Gaylord Entertainment Centre.
In much the same way that the upcoming 2013 draft class has been characterized as the year of Seth Jones/Nathan McKinnon/Jonathan Drouin, it was that way 10 years ago too – except the names at the top were Marc-Andre Fleury, Eric Staal and Nathan Horton.
But it turned out to be so much more than just the Big Three.
The hometown Predators essentially built their defence for close to a decade around three players they landed that year – Ryan Suter, Shea Weber and Kevin Klein. The Anaheim Ducks drafted two cornerstones, Ryan Getzlaf at 19 and Corey Perry at 28, while the Philadelphia Flyers plucked Jeff Carter at 11 and Mike Richards at 24 and essentially helped put the finishing touches on the Los Angeles Kings' 2012 Stanley Cup winner.
NHL draft gurus like to talk about draft years the way oenologists talk about wine vintages. Most of the hockey variety will say the 1979 draft, which was a double cohort because of the NHL-WHA merger was the deepest and most profoundly influential draft class in NHL history.
But once you get past 1979, there are those who believe 2003 might be the next greatest, a year in which future Hart and Norris Trophy candidates were drafted, Stanley Cup champions, dozens of Olympians and many, many cornerstone players.
"At every draft, you hear the same thing from teams – that you've got to get players who will play in the NHL," said former Calgary Flames' general manager Craig Button, now a draft analyst for TSN. "The players that came out of the 2003 draft didn't just play. These guys were captains, won gold medals, won Stanley Cups, won major awards – and we're talking about key contributors at key times. Eric Staal became a big-time performer when Carolina won. Ryan Getzlaf was a big-time performer when they won. Even though Zach Parise fell a little with New Jersey (in 2012), they were riding on his back.
"When you think about the offer sheet on Weber, the biggest offer sheet in history was on Shea Weber, another one from that draft. We're talking about front-line players at every turn."
Salary is not always a good measure of impact, but among the NHL's top-paid players for the upcoming 2013-14 season in terms of actual dollars paid, four of the top six were drafted in 2003 (Weber, Zach Parise, Suter and Eric Staal). By salary-cap average, it is even higher: Six crack the top 10 (Perry, Staal, Getzlaf, Weber, Parise and Suter) and Thomas Vanek is at No. 15.
By any measure, that is a significant bounty of talent, one that changed the fortunes of a number of teams, including the host team Nashville.
"The '03 draft just set so many people up," said David Poile, the Nashville Predators' general manager. "We all think the drafts are good, but I don't think anybody realize that '03 would be as great as it was.
"I know, from a Nashville standpoint, we were excited for a lot of reasons. We were still in that expansion era of our franchise, so we got a lot of extra picks that year, not just because it was a good draft, but because it was in Nashville. It was important to our fans. We ended up with four defencemen that ended up playing for our team and in the NHL – Suter, Weber, Klein and (Alexander) Sulzer, which is phenomenal. We ended up taking two Russians in the middle of all that who never came over to play. When I look at that draft, there were still players there. We could have had maybe six guys who could have played on our team.Report Typo/Error

AIDS Issues Update Blog
Dispatches from the fight against homelessness and AIDS
Posted by Tim Murphy , October 23, 2013
Cuomo signs this bill at a time when hep C treatment is better than ever, making screening all the more important.
Housing Works is delighted to hear that, today, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed a new law that will better protect baby boomer New Yorkers from Hepatitis C by requiring hospitals and health service providers to offer testing for the virus to all patients born between 1945 and 1965.
Housing Works lobbied strongly for this law along with groups such as VOCAL-NY, Harlem United and Harm Reduction Coalition. Says Carmelita Cruz, Esq., HW director for New York State Advocacy and Organizing: "Because a lot of our clients are co-infected with HIV and Hep C, or at risk for contracting Hep C, we think that this is important and a great step in the right direction. Like the HIV testing bill we supported a few years ago, this bill will provide for increased awareness about Hep C and will allow us to treat folks who test positive earlier. That will provide both better health outcomes for them and reduce the strain on Medicaid when people are living healthier lives."
Said Governor Cuomo: "Hepatitis C is a debilitating and potentially fatal disease that disproportionately affects the baby boomer generation in New York and nationwide. This new law will help fight Hepatitis C and keep New Yorkers safe by providing testing to those most likely to have this virus whenever they visit a medical facility. I thank Senator Hannon and Assembly Member Zebrowski for their work on this important legislation."
According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 75 % of Hepatitis C infection and about 73 % of Hepatitis C-associated mortality occurs in individuals born between 1945 and 1965 – baby boomers. New York State Department of Health statistics show that as many as 150,000 New Yorkers are unaware of their Hepatitis C status. The new law (A.1286-A/S.2750-A) will ensure that all individuals born between 1945 and 1965 are offered a hepatitis C screening test or diagnostic test whenever they are a patient at a hospital, clinic or a physician's office.
Now more than ever, people should know their hep C status because new drugs have revolutionized hep C treatment and cure rates in recent years, even in folks who also have HIV and thus previously had a harder time curing their hep C. Hep C treatment promises to only get better in the few years ahead. Check out this handy user's guide to all the latest/forthcoming treatments and resources from the Hepatitis C Mentor & Support Group.
Senator Kemp Hannon said, "I applaud the Governor for acknowledging this public health crisis and signing this bill into law. Nationwide, approximately three million adults are infected with the hepatitis C virus, most are baby boomers and three out of four are unaware they are infected. By requiring health care providers to offer hepatitis C testing, as recommended by the CDC, we have an opportunity to protect individuals from the leading cause of liver disease, and to treat and cure those who have been infected before they become seriously ill."
Assembly member Kenneth Zebrowski said, "Hepatitis C is known as the "silent killer" because it can attack your liver for over a decade before you exhibit any symptoms. Recent estimates suggest that 1 out of 30 baby boomers could be infected with as many as 75% unaware. My father passed away from Hepatitis C in 2007, and my family experienced first hand the lack of information and knowledge surrounding this epidemic. This one time test will bring the disease out of the darkness and get thousands of New Yorkers lifesaving treatment before it is too late."
The new law will take effect on January 1, 2014.blog comments powered by Disqus

Customer Reviews
Like certain things, dislike others
I love the app the most part. Easy to use for my little one, decent number of stories.
I personally think the inclusion of Spanish books should be optional. My son does not read yet so he selects books based on cover. Great once he starts learning Spanish, not so great when seeking a simple bedtime story. It's great that Spanish books are avail but we should be able to filter if desired
Why fix something that wasn't broken?
The old version (1.1.12) released in 2012 worked like a charm. Without being updated for 3 years, new versions were introduced in 2015. Now it's just broken. Sometimes it downloads books, sometimes it doesn't. My kids have lost their patience and given up using this app. Unless there is a way to downgrade to 1.1.12.
Very poor- not working app
This app is not working. Stories are not downloading and opening. It doesn't deserve one star also. Earlier version was awesome but this updated version is very poor. Hope you guys fix it as soon as possible, or please let us know how to go back to earlier version.

Joyce and Cyrus's Wedding
"Enjoy the mountain, water and city view from this green jewel. Featuring the resplendent Rose Gardens, hiking and walking trails, picnic areas, children's playground and fine dining at Horizons restaurant, this park is a must see. You can also experience the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area, a large natural mountain forest where many significant ecological assets have been preserved for outdoor recreation, nature interpretation and education. A must see is the fascinating "Playground of the Gods" sculpture. This amazing work of art was created by Ainu sculptors, members of Japan's aboriginal people, and symbolizes a story of people, gods and creatures sharing the Earth in harmony."
Carlos and Nalini's Wedding
"Nice place. Wish we had "snuck" (aka rented) a venue tent as it just drizzled slightly during the ceremony at the last minute. You're not supposed to but the City of Burnaby didn't have any staff to enforce it the day we visited the Rose Garden the day before our wedding date. Do at your own risk!"

About Coors Banquet
Also known as Coors Original. Coors® beer was first introduced in April 1873 by a young man who began brewing a pilsner-style beer at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Golden, Colorado. It was here Adolph Coors developed the uniquely crisp, clean and drinkable "Mile High Taste" of Coors. At the time, Colorado was famous for mining – gold, silver and metals were abundant in the mountains. Denver and Golden became popular trading posts; men would carry their treasures down from the mountains, exchange them for money and remain in the towns until their next trip. Tired after months of hard work in the mines, the men would relax during their stays in town, often throwing large banquets. Their beer of choice during this time of freedom? "The Banquet Beer," otherwise known as Coors. Coors is brewed with 100 percent Rocky Mountain water – always has been, always will be. All beer is 90 percent water, so using the best natural brewing water is key to this legendary brew. Knowing this, Adolph Coors selected Golden as the home of his brewery because its location, just east of the Continental Divide, ensured access to the freshest Rocky Mountain water. It wasn't until 1981 that consumers east of the Mississippi River could find the beer in their markets, so average Joes would haul Coors across the country, road tripping to Golden just to find the beer. Presidents got in on the action too – Eisenhower and Ford both carted Coors back to the White House on Air Force One.

Convicted ivory dealer Mark Goldberg has been sentenced to an effective five years in prison in the Cape Town Regional Court.
Goldberg was convicted on four charges of possession and the sale of ivory worth 32 million rand in July last year.
A warrant for Goldberg's arrest was issued last week after he failed to appear in the same court for sentencing. He was previously out on R50 000 bail.
Magistrate Wilma van der Merwe says the illegal ivory trade is a 'bone of contention' around the world. She says there had been no documentation explaining the origin of more than a ton of ivory found at the Sea Point curio shop where Goldberg was a manager.
Two years ago, Goldberg tried to enter into a plea bargain, but negotiations failed when the state and defence were unable to reach an agreement on an appropriate sentence.
The defence is expected to apply for leave to appeal.

Meanwhile, the case against 11 rhino poaching suspects, dubbed the "Groenewald Gang" has been postponed in the Musina Magistrate's Court in Limpopo for further investigations and to finalize information gathered during investigations. This is according to state prosecutor, Joanie Spies.
They were arrested more than a year and a half ago and this is the fourth time the case has been postponed. It's believed the group is responsible for killing hundreds of rhino for their horns.
The suspects include well known veterinarians, professional hunters, helicopter pilots and a well-known safari operator, Dawie Groenewald and his wife.
The suspects will again appear in the Musina Magistrate's Court on the 19th of October.

This dissertation examines the historical origins of the ideology of Manifest Destiny and the effects of its transmission into American literature and film. I argue that though eruptions of Manifest Destiny repeat the idea of American exceptionalism, the semi-autonomous nature of the work of art works against the grain of these eruptions to show they are also symptomatic of the inability of the American State to reconcile the desire to be both a virtuous republic and a global empire. I begin with an analysis of the embedded notion of exceptionalism in John Winthrop's A Model of Christian Charity and follow the trace of that same notion in Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence in order to establish an historical lineage of America's exceptionalist narrative. I then argue that the ideas of exceptionalism and the divine mission of the American State become compressed into the concept of Manifest Destiny and, through the discursive acts of John Louis O'Sullivan and the United States Magazine and Democratic Review, American cultural production repeats the discourse of Manifest Destiny. A list of the authors that appeared in the Democratic Review virtually defines American Romanticism and under O'Sullivan's editorial control the Democratic Review directly allied those authors with his politico-literary vision, which was informed by his belief that America was exceptional. I demonstrate how a novel like Herman Melville's Moby Dick is a nodal point where an American exceptionalist discourse is transmitted into film vis-à-vis John Huston's 1956 release of the filmic version of Moby Dick. Through a consideration of Rio Bravo (1959), and Lone Star (1998), my final chapter tracks eruptions of Manifest Destiny in the American Western film in order to show how changing formulations of American Exceptionalism gain traction in their time periods precisely because of the malleability of the exceptionalist narrative.

Objective: To determine the frequency and effects of exposure to adverse events in pediatric bipolar disorder. Method: Charts of youths with bipolar disorder were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Thirty-five of 66 (53%) had experienced maltreatment. Most (90.9%) had divorced or separated parents and 31.8% were adopted or in foster care. Exposure to adverse events was associated with delay of diagnosis (p=.010), psychiatric hospitalization (p=.035), residential treatment (p=.003) and a decreased response to treatment (p=.006). Conclusions: Exposure to adverse events may be common among pediatric bipolar patients and have a negative impact on prognosis.

Executive MBA Programs Rise in Financial Times Rankings
The Financial Times has listed two Georgetown University McDonough School of Business programs among the world's best Executive MBA Programs.
In the 2013 ranking, released Oct. 21, the Georgetown-ESADE Global Executive MBA was 15th in the world and 8th among similar joint-programs that hold classes in multiple locations around the world. In the program's debut in the ranking last year, it placed 19th and 9th, respectively. This year, the program also was ranked 3rd in the world for international course experience; 5th for work experience; and 11th for the salary of students three years after graduation.
Within the same ranking, the school's Executive MBA was 31st in the world and 5th among stand-alone U.S. programs, up from 35th and 7th last year. The program also ranked 1st in the United States for the percentage an alumnus' salary increased three years after graduation and 10th for salary; 3rd for international course experience; 4th for meeting the goals of alumni in the aims achieved category; 5th for the percentage of women students; 7th for the internationality of the school's board; and 8th for career progress.
Financial Times produces the Executive MBA ranking through surveys of alumni and the individual business schools. Programs are evaluated on the following criteria: alumni salary figures and percentage salary increase, alumni career progress and aims achieved as a result of their degree, faculty research, percentage of faculty with doctorates, percentage of international and women faculty members, student work experience, percentage of international and women students, international course experience, percentage of international and women board members, and number of languages students are required to speak upon graduation.
The Georgetown McDonough Executive MBA combines faculty expertise in international business and other disciplines taught at Georgetown with the school's relationships with prominent Washington, D.C., institutions. Students learn through two international and domestic residencies, including the Global Capstone Residency, during which student teams travel the world to study the impact of globalization at the country, industry, and firm levels. This is in addition to the program's longstanding signature Global Residency that features international consulting projects in locations including Turkey, Dubai/UAE, China, and India.
The Georgetown-ESADE Global Executive MBA is a partnership among Georgetown's McDonough School of Business and Walsh School of Foreign Service and the acclaimed ESADE Business School in Barcelona, Spain. The program goes beyond traditional models to deliver an MBA that capitalizes on global learning for executives. Students are educated in the essentials of a world-class MBA degree provided in an innovative format through six two-week modules that take place in nine cities: Bangalore, Barcelona, Beijing, Buenos Aires, Madrid, New York, São Paulo, Shanghai, and Washington, D.C. – each deemed relevant to the future of globalization to offer our students a competitive advantage in an ever-evolving business world.

About me:
I like taking my camera for a walk

Seagull67: I know the X100F inherits the Digital Zoom function from the X70 so you have the option, when using jpegs, of 50mm, 70mm and the camera's standard 35mm field of view. What is the image quality like for this function on this camera? I'd value using it rather than using the bulky conversion lenses or cropping after the event. Thanks.

What is the image quality like for this function on this camera? I'd value using it rather than using the bulky conversion lenses or cropping after the event. Thanks.
Great camera - far prefer the ergonomics of it to the X100S or XE1 I had previously. Feels very good in the hand: compact, light and stable. I only shoot jpegs and they're excellent once you've played with the settings to suit your taste. Superficial stuff but the camera looks far better in the all black version.
The best fixed lens camera is probably the iPhone 5. Literally anyone can now take an excellent photo using it & applying an Instagram filter, you can make calls, email on it and browse the web too. Can't do that on any of the above, but the 100XS is a very lovely 'dad necklace', goes well with a Harris Tweed jacket.
Acquiring more stuff than you actually use is of course very much a privileged First World 'problem' . If I put as much time in trying to take good and better photographs and learning about the art of photography as I do checking our 'gear porn' then I'd be a far better photographer. That said this site has helped me enormously to get the most out of a camera and lenses I really love using daily, those being the Fujifilm XE 1 with 35 mm lens and the 18-55 zoom. Perhaps on this site there should also be forums for Walker Evans, Cartier Bresson, William Eggleston, and Atget fans (etc. etc.) so art and commerce can go hand in hand? I'm interested in why we love photography & the power it has in our lives, but I'm passionate about technological progress too. We need the balance, but I'm striving to own only what I regularly use.
Just buy a Fujifilm XE1 - good lenses now and more to come, and a great inbuilt EVF. Light & very easy to take anywhere - I do all day every day. Why pay so much more for this still limited Sony? Fujifilm have it nailed already with so much more usability for less outlay.
Had it for weeks: it's a great camera. Feels good in the hand, compact and light enough to carry everywhere, everyday. It's capable of capturing great images when you've set it up to get what you want: it's an easy process. I only shoot and use jpegs: I never post-process anything, it doesn't suit my way of working or aesthetic - I like to get the images straight out of the camera that are perfect for me, and I get them with the XE-1. Now the camera is set up to give me the colour I like I simply use the exposure compensation dial and aperture priority to get what I want. Job done on having a great responsive tool that leaves you free to work out artistically what you think a good photograph is, and how you will take one!....still working on that...this tool helps. Well done Fujifilm.
Er, none of the above. For me it has to be the iPhone 5 as it's so convenient & has a rather useful phone & computer attached to it too. Along with the Fujifilm X-E1, which is cheaper and smaller than the X-Pro 1 and with a better EVF.
Bought several weeks ago on the strength of hugely liking my results with the X100. Delighted with this camera too. Great in the hand, easy to carry with you always. Superb pictures. Autofocus still a wee bit sluggish sometimes but it's not really a problem as it's not a camera for taking snapshots. I only shoot jpegs, the colour is always pleasingly natural and accurate. Great product in terms of function & aesthetics.
Tom_A: I have the XE-1 bought as a limited launch kit with the 35mm 1.4 lens.
This is such a nice combination, giving very convincing bokeh and perfect sharpness and colours, that I was a bit disappointed when trying the 18-55 in a japanese shop. Yes the quality seems to be good, but the speed and bokeh is lost.
I may eventually still buy the 18-55 as a good single lens for holidays.
But for now, I think I'll just stay with the 35mm and walk a bit more instead of zooming :-) There is something to be said for minimalism !
I am curious about the 23mm, it has the perfect angle of view for walking around like a classic full frame 35mm lens. However if I read the DOF charts well then at medium distances this 23mm f1.4 lens has a similar DOF as a classic 35mm lens at f2.8.
I have the same kit with the 35 mm 1.4 lens. I seem to be having a hard time achieving focus when taking portraits at a close-ish distance (say 3 or 4 feet away) even in reasonable light conditions. The focus square shows green but when I look at the images on the computer they are all out of focus. I never had this trouble with the X100 - any tips? I've already enlarged the EVF focus square up a couple of notches from the smallest setting I kept it at on the X100 & checked I've the latest firmware installed. Thanks.
I bought the X100 a few weeks ago so I let a year go by for the price to become affordable - I got mine ex display from John lewis for £620. Also many of the bugs had been ironed out. The X100 is a wonderful camera that encourages my creativity & gives me a lot of pleasure & satisfaction. I'll enjoy and learn from my X100 for at least two years (if not far more) & only then will consider if I need and want an X-Pro 1, by which time bugs will have gone and the price will have come down considerably. My main 'problem' is the daily hunt for fascinating subjects to photograph. I'm so lucky, as a non pro, to be wealthy enough to afford £600 pounds for a camera, but it's one of the best pieces of technology I've ever owned & I use it daily because it's easy for it to be always with me. Looking forward to seeing the pictures everyone takes with the X-Pro 1.

Waco Brothers
Freedom and Weep
US: 16 Aug 2005
UK: 29 Aug 2005
It's hard to keep up with Jon Langford, what with membership in the Mekons, the Pine Valley Cosmonauts, the Three Johns and the Waco Brothers (not to mention a solo career and a sideline gig as a folk artist—that's his art on the cover of Freedom and Weep). He never gets complacent and he never gets redundant. He also does his best work when he's outraged by the goings-on in the world; fortunately—for his music, at least—there's no short of material here in 21st century America to raise Langford's hackles and inform the latest and greatest from the Waco Brothers, Freedom and Weep.
Of course, the Wacos are a democracy; it's not the Jon Langford show (after all, would the Left-leaning Langford have it any other way?). Also in the Brotherhood are singer/guitarist Dean Schlabowske, drummer Steve Goulding, bassist Alan Doughty, steel guitarist Mark Durante and singer/mandolinist Tracy Dear; together they comprise the steadiest, most consistent and just plain rollickin' alt-country outfit of the past decade.
Freedom and Weep, as with the entire Waco discography, is a hoot to blare while drive down an open stretch of road. The full list of rocking moments on this album would be too long to compile, but Schlabowske, the everyman Yin to Langford's firebrand Yang, kicks off the album with the barroom stomper "Nothing at All", and his solo on the darker-than-usual-for-the-band "Secrets" is a standout on the disc. Meanwhile, Langford's "Drinkin' & Cheatin' & Death" may not scale the Hot Nashville-vilifying heights of his earlier "Death of Country Music" (off 1997's Cowboy in Flames), but the sentiment is strong ("Country radio lost its bottle/ Started selling a fantasy/ No drinkin', no killin' and the only D.I.V.O.R.C.E./ Is from reality/ From history") and to these ears, hearing Langford trill his "rrrrr"'s means there's still hope in the world.
Politics are as important to the Wacos as the riffs; really, it's a case of a spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down. Having already painted an unflattering picture of a certain current American president on 2003's New Deal with "The Lie", but not getting the change in the White House they were angling for, part of me figured the Wacos would devote this entire new album to calling out Dubya further (that said, even done well, it would have been a wearying disc). Instead, only two songs allude to the president, and he's never mentioned by name: "Chosen One", where Langford snarls in his Welsh accent, "Dumb Boy the Patriot/ One day you'll run out of luck", and "The Rest of the World", where Schlabowske sings, "The champagne's still on ice/ Might as well down it tonight/ It ain't gonna wait four more years/ Nor will your rights." Come to think of it, these two tunes sum up Langford and Schlabowske's songwriting tacks: political and personal (with a dash of booze), respectively.
And lest I not mention everyone, other Wacos sing! Tracy Dear contributes two songs—"Come a Long Long Way" and the life-on-the-road tune "Fantasy"—that are a little slower than Langford and Schlabowske's offerings. Call them the only two chances to catch your breath during the album. And Mark Durante sings the hopeful, we're-all-in-this-mess-together closing track, "Join the Club". After spending most of Freedom and Weep chronicling the ways in which everyone is separated from each other, it's nice to hear a call for unity, even if it goes "If you're sick of being treated like dirt/ Sick of being hurt/ Join the club."
Freedom and Weep is, in the best sense of the phrase, more of the same from the Wacos. Yes, they've been documenting the same social ills—the plight of the worker, the stupidity/duplicity of world leaders, the woeful state of country music and how hard life on the road is (though I can't sympathize/empathize with that one)—over the course of seven albums, starting with 1995's To the Last Dead Cowboy. And while some would call that a 10-year rut, or even worse, shoveling shit against the tide—after all, has anything changed for the better during the Wacos run?—I say they're still at the top of their game. People are lazy and forgetful and need rabblerousers like the Waco Brothers to come around every two years or so with a fresh batch of songs and reminders that there's still a lot of work to do to improve our world.

An analysis of alternative funding strategies for protected area management : a case study of Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife
Thesis (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.
The proper management of protected areas is important for biodiversity conservation and continued flow of ecosystem services such as the building up of soil resources and the provision of clean water. Protected areas provide a means of livelihood for communities on the peripheries of these protected areas through conservation based development projects and create an opportunity for people to learn about the environment and wildlife. Protected areas are areas of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and natural and associated cultural resources, and management through legal or other means (International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 1994). These are special places around the world that are managed for conservation purposes. Darey, (1998), recommends that protected areas should be planned and managed as a system, a shift from the previous mindset in which they were considered as separate entities. The role played by protected areas is vital and is recognized in most countries including 177 countries who are signatories to the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD). The CBD caters for cooperation amongst its members by providing support for the financing of protected area systems. There exists, therefore a global mandate for and a specific responsibility to ensure that protected areas are adequately financed. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife is a statutory nature conservation body mandated with the protection of natural resources and management of biodiversity in the province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Biodiversity conservation needs to happen both inside and outside of state-controlled protected areas to create conservation corridors and buffer zones and also to prevent the environmental degradation taking place as a result of human population growth, habitat destruction, and unsustainable development. (Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, 2005). The challenge facing Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife in carrying out this mandate is the lack of adequate financial resources. The subsidy received is not sufficient to cover all the conservation initiatives that the entity would like to undertake and so the exploration of alternative financing initiatives is required. The aim of this paper is to explore and discuss alternative funding strategies that can be used by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife to supplement the subsidy received from government. These strategies will form a blueprint that protected area managers can use to source sustainable alternative funding that is reliable and environmentally friendly. This study was conducted at Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife's head office, based at Queen Elizabeth Park in Pietermaritzburg. The research included input from the organization's Hospitality Managers and Conservation Managers spread throughout the Province. A questionnaire was designed and circulated to draw responses from Executives and relevant Managers. Interviews to ascertain the organizations sources of funding and future sources were carried out. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife official documents such as annual reports, strategic documents and project plans were reviewed and interpreted. The report showed that 90percent of the organizations funding comes from government or state affiliated organizations. These sources are neither sufficient nor reliable. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife cannot plan adequately before establishing the annual subsidy it will receive from government – its primary funder (Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, 2008). The research also showed that there are numerous strategies that the organization can implement to supplement its subsidy. These include the widespread implementation of Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) strategies and revenue maximization through improved customer service. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has a great potential to generate sufficient funds through its commercial services such as camping, accommodation, gates and boating services to name but a few. The challenge however is to develop an operational strategy that will be devoid of bureaucracy and promote business best practices and the formation of partnerships with the private sector and the communities in the form of Public Private Partnerships (PPP's) and co-management agreements respectively.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The latest news and notes from around baseball:
This just in: On Monday, August 18, future Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux was traded from the San Diego Padres to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Maddux played for the Dodgers for half a season in 2006 after being traded from the Chicago Cubs. Maddux is currently at a 6-9 record witha 3.99 ERA. So far in August he is 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA.
First baseman Richie Sexson was waived by the Yankees on August 15. During his tenure with New York, Sexson hit .250 with one home run and six RBI. His 2008 season has been worse than terrible (.224/12 HR/36 RBI) and the Yanks were clearly left with no other choice.
Tampa Bay Rays closer Troy Percival is on the DL for the third time this season after spraining his right knee in a game against Oakland. This injury is different than his others this season as his two previous DL stints were due to his left hamstring.
Now for the stars of Week 20:
Melvin Mora (3B), Baltimore Orioles: Mora has been tearing it up since the break (.432, 9 HR, 43 RBI) and last week he showed no signs of slowing down with 18 hits including 3 HR and 13 RBI. Impressively, out of Mora's last 10 games, he has multiple hits in 9 of them.
Ty Wigginton (1B,2B,3B,LF), Houston Astros: I faced Wigginton in one of my leagues last week and I think he sensed it. Wigginton blasted 4 HR and drove in 11 as part of a 16-hit week that saw him raise his average from .282 to .308.
Willy Taveras (CF), Colorado Rockies: Even though Taveras had only eight hits including one for extra bases, you know that he must have been fast on the basepaths to make it to the wrap-up. Taveras swiped seven bags to bring his total to 58.
Kevin Youkilis (1B,3B), Boston Red Sox: The Greek God of Walks hasn't been walking as much this year (42) but, with his 3 HR, 8 RBI, and 9 R last week, I am sure he doesn't mind.
Alex Rios (CF,RF), Toronto Blue Jays: An all-around good week for Rios included 5 doubles, 2 triples, a home run, 5 RBI, 2 SB, and 8 runs as part of an 11-hit week.
Javier Vazquez (SP), Chicago White Sox: Vazquez brought his record to an even 10-10 after winning both of his starts. He struck out 18 batters in his 16 innings pitched and only allowed one free pass.
Roy Oswalt (SP), Houston Astros: Oswalt seems to be over his injury woes and picked up two wins. In his last three starts, Oswalt is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA and 20 K's in 22 innings.
Edinson Volquez (SP), Cincinnati Reds: Although he has been up and down lately, Volquez showed better consistency last week with two more victories (now 15 on the year) and giving up just one run while fanning nine batters.
Chris Perez (RP), St. Louis Cardinals: Perez seems to be settled in the closer role in St. Louis and he picked up three saves last week. Perez struck out six batters in 4.1 innings and has four saves total in August.
Jose Valverde (RP), Houston Astros: Valverde also picked up three saves last week to bring his total to 31. Valverde is having a great August with a 1.13 ERA after a terrible July where he posted a 6.75 ERA.
Chris Dickerson (LF), Cincinnati Reds: With Adam Dunn's departure to Arizona, Dickerson seems to be the everyday LF for the Reds. In his time since the call up, Dickerson has been hitting very well by going 9-22 (.409) with seven of those hits going for extra bases. He was hitting .287 in Triple-A with 16 doubles, 9 triples, 11 HR, 53 RBI, and 26 SB.
Travis Ishikawa (1B), San Francisco Giants: The Giants seem to be trying out thier young players for the rest of 2008 and Ishikawa is benefiting. He is already hitting .385 in his first four games with his first home run and three RBI. Prior to being brought up, Ishikawa was hitting .299 with 24 HR and 94 RBI between Double-A and Triple-A.
Jeff Kent (2B), Los Angeles Dodgers: If anybody has benefited the most from the Manny trade, it is Kent. Since Manny started playing in L.A. on August 1st, Kent has been killing the ball. He is currently hitting .410 this month with 11 RBI. Batting 3rd in front of Manny lets him see better pitches and those in need of a boost to your batting average should take a look at Kent.

info: pressing down the joystick returns LOW for the button, not HIGH :) i needed some time to find that out…
"I thought when you push the button down you just get Vcc at Sel, but it's actually the opposite with the way the PCB is made. You get "GND" at SEL."
thanks so much… i thought my joystick is broken after soldering it to the board… after setting the input pin to HIGH in setup and checking it for getting LOW it works. didn't even thought that it could become LOW… thank you!
No public wish lists :(

Kennel buildings should be clean, dogs should get turnout multiple times a day and even though they don't live in the living room, they should be exposed to lots of humans and never shy away.

AS A contest, it was a non-event, but as an occasion and as a moment in sporting history, South Australia had never seen the like of it.
More than 30,000 people turned up at Morphettville yesterday, not to see a horse race but to see the horse race, and to breathe the same air as the fastest horse in the world, Black Caviar. They watched her breathtaking stride, watched as she effortlessly dismantled her rivals and watched her make history all in a matter of 70 seconds. And how they loved it.
''This is unbelievable,'' an emotional part-owner Gary Wilkie said moments after Black Caviar cruised to the line 4½ lengths in front of her opposition in the 1200-metre Sportingbet Classic. ''That a horse could bring out people like this and bring out this sort of response. It's hard to fathom.''
Wilkie had taken his eyes off his horse for a rare few seconds to look up into the stands and what he saw and heard nearly knocked him over. The roar of approval was deafening and the sight stunning. Salmon-and-black flags were being waved all over the course and patrons were screaming with delight as if they'd all backed a 100-1 winner.
Black Caviar, who started the $1.05 favourite, made history yesterday, not just in the hearts of those to see her for the first time. Her 20th consecutive success yesterday eclipsed the run of success of US mare Zenyatta. No group 1 winner anywhere in the world, at any time, had ever raced so often and remained unbeaten.
Her trainer, Peter Moody, knew that, barring accidents, none of her nine rivals could get near her but he was still left speechless. He seemed not to comprehend as the noise and the cheers swept over him. Finally, he offered: ''Look, it's a great relief and also a real buzz to see all these people turn up to enjoy her for what she is.''
Back to Morphettville she will come in a fortnight for the Goodwood Handicap, to chase win No. 21. Then, it's off to Royal Ascot in England in June, where Black Caviar's greatness will be sealed when she tackles the best sprinters in the world.

Turkmenistan young people are empowered on their health and development
ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, 29 August 2011 – School children ages 7 to 14 participated in an information awareness campaign to advance knowledge and skills on health and development. Jointly organized by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Health Information Center under the Ministry of Health and Medical Industry of Turkmenistan, the communication campaign took place in July and August 2011 and covered around 10,000 children in resort centres in Geokdere and Avaza.
The objective of this participatory initiative was to empower children with competencies and confidence to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life. Each awareness-raising event consisted of two blocks. The first part was to educate children in an interactive manner on different topics of healthy life styles, such as HIV prevention, healthy eating habits, benefits of sports, hygiene, stress management and prevention of risk behaviours related to drug abuse and other addictive substances. The training sessions were conducted by the specialists of the Health Information Center, a psychologist and the Youth Peer volunteers of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The second part was children's presentations through theatrical plays and songs reflecting the challenges of adolescence, and practical solutions to prevent risk behaviours, staying healthy, as well as nurturing self-esteem and critical thinking.
The entire learning and information sharing sessions were built on the basis of the communication package on adolescent health and development, produced in Turkmen and Russian languages and published with the support of the Health Information Center, UNICEF, UNFPA, the British Embassy in Ashgabat and USAID's JSI/Youth Centers Project. These child-friendly communication materials were designed to ensure that young people successfully overcome physical, cognitive, emotional and social changes and mature into adults who are able to lead fulfilled and productive lives. All materials have a reference to hot-line services that provide free and anonymous counseling to young people. It is expected that this communication package will be distributed to all velayats and etraps of the country starting a new school year.
In Turkmenistan every third person is a child under the age of 18, which provides a vast cohort for advancing child rights' agenda. UNICEF also cooperates with the Government of Turkmenistan in a child friendly schools initiative that promotes the rights of the child to quality education, healthcare and protection.

Bolivia patient isolated for Ebola check
12:01 24/08/2014
La Paz - Authorities said on Saturday they were investigating a first potential case of Ebola in Bolivia.
The patient, whose name and age were not given, had made stopovers in several cities in Africa, Santa Cruz health service manager Roberto Torres told Oxigeno online.
"Yesterday, we had a report from a private hospital on an Indian patient who is being treated for fever, diarrhea and vomiting," he said.
The health ministry in South America's poorest nation just 10 days ago set rules on early detection of potentially infected people.
On Friday, the World Health Organisation said the outbreak sweeping West Africa has claimed 1 427 lives.
Theodora Maleke 2014/08/24 12:56:56 PM
Is there anyway everybody can have a general check for this epidemic that swept so many lives in West Africa
Marlene Black 2014/08/24 01:19:37 PM
Good idea but I think there are too many people that will slip through the net.
