I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Wipro (Chicago, IL) in May 2015.
Had a weird group interview where four or five of us were on Skype and were posed a question by HR. The HR guy watched as we discussed. Then, was invited back for a Skype interview with an employee at Wipro...who rescheduled my interview 20 minutes before it was supposed to start, then was over 20 minutes late to the rescheduled time...and then proceeded to ask very few question and talk mostly about himself. I had another interview with an HR woman in India...who also didn't bother to let me know she'd be late to the call until it was after its start time, and then was an additional 15 minutes late when we began. In short, if punctuality is one of your values, you may be frustrated by the interview process.
Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
Poor salary offer - $62K base for an MBA from a top 50 university plus 3 years of relevant work experience. They guaranteed $14K in bonuses for the first year, so the salary was up to $76K for year 1. Guaranteed 2nd year bonus raise of an additional $4K. So, first year = $76K, 2nd = $80K.
When asked about how the salary appeared lower than those for similar positions on Glassdoor, was told of Wipro's "tiered" policy. They have arbitrary cutoffs based on school rankings where the top 30 or so schools get an extra salary boost of nearly $10K. Just for being the #30 school instead of the #31 school based on subjective rankings by newspapers and magazines that want to sell their products. Perhaps you can sense that my school was just below the cutoff line, so I wasn't happy to hear about that. Sorry to those who are viewed as tier 3 schools...not sure how much more of a hit you'll take for that.
Final question for me: Do I want to be a part of an organization that judges based on a school's name rather than the person's abilities? For me, No.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wipro (Chicago, IL).
They Don't waste much time in entire hiring process. But they don't schedule the interview in advance. If you miss a call from them, don't expect a VM . I had Skype interview
Interview Questions
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Wipro (Chicago, IL) in October 2013.
I applied through our campus website and got an interview invitation on the next day. I chose a time slot at 11:00 AM, so I did not need to wait too long for the group interview. The interview question was pretty standard. However, when the interview just started, the interviewer had already keep looking at the clock on the wall. The interview just lasted about 15 minutes. In the afternoon, we had a group interview, which was a case discussion. It was simple, and no standard answers.I never get any response back.

Worst HR experience ever. Completely unprofessional, rude and demeaning. In the process I was asked illegal questions like marital status and number of kids. The HR was completely unprofessional and several times in the process made me wonder why I was interviewing with them. The HR asked me switch on my web cam for a Skype interview but did not switch on his. There was complete disregard for my time. I had quoted a salary at the beginning of the process but was in the end offered something much lower. Wipro is the kind of company which has zero value for the work you did or the educational background you have. All they care about is the number of years. It does not matter if you were peeling vegetables during those years.
On the good side the people who took my technical interviews - People I would work with were quite nice, honest and intelligent. Too bad they are dependent on a ridiculous HR department.

Reasons for Declining
The HR. Even if they had met my expectation or beat it by 30%, I would not have accepted their offer because of the unprofessionalism shown during the process which I am sure echos throughout the organization.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wipro (Chicago, IL) in March 2012.
The Interview was simple. The interviewer tried to understand the skills and if the person was capable of doing the job. The interview was based on the client requirement. There was an interview with the client manager as well who wanted to know future professional goals.

Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Wipro (Chicago, IL) in August 2010.
It was a long interview, up to an hour over the phone with two technical guys and the HR person. I don't know if the client was that strict with the qualifications, but the interview questions were very detailed in the technical perspective. Talk about down-to-the-semicolons-in-the-code-line detailed. Prior to applying for this job I had 3 years extensive experience in software development, then the last 2 years was more on production support, so admittedly it was not easy to recall the gritty details, although I KNOW where to find and how to do what they are asking. I am not by the book person, and that keeps me open to new approaches to a code solution/implementation. Apparently they are looking for a by the book person, who can memorize the program's reference guides up to the last punctuation mark.
I'd like to be fair in thinking that the client they are working for needs a highly-technical resource, but I felt this was not a fair assessment of an applicant's abilities. Halfway during the interview, they made me feel quite worthless. Needless to say, the interview was a stressful one, and I was expecting (and was actually relieved) that they would not contact me after this ordeal.
My only advice to potential Software Developers is to really study for the interview, and be ready for extremely technical questions. They are quite challenging.
Soon after, I applied for one of their competitors, and they [competitor] did WAY better in terms of considering my qualifications. They did not ask a lot about which particular XML tag I need to update, but rather actually looked at my timeline in my resume and then asked me the right questions, some technical, but basic ones. And then they asked: "How confident are you in getting back in the position as a Software Developer?" They actually assessed my POTENTIAL, and they made me feel like I actually am worth something.
P.S. I got the job from the competitor for a 6-month contract and I proved to be an extremely valuable resource. When the contract ended, they actually offered me an extension - repeatedly, under a different deal, if you know what I mean. It felt good to be appreciated like that. I respectfully declined because of relocation restrictions (the work was out-of-state), and I was just not quite ready for that.

The evolution of a Stokes vector through depolarizing media is considered. A general form for the differential matrix is found that is appropriate in the presence of depolarization and it is parameterized in a manner that ensures that it yields, upon integration, a valid Mueller matrix for any choice of parameters. The form expands the more limited form for a nondepolarizing matrix given by Azzam [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 68, 1756 (1978) [CrossRef] ] and which was extended recently by others to include depolarization. A Mueller matrix decomposition is proposed that is based upon the new parameterization.Full Article | PDF Article

Where Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak, is a classic children´s book.
The protagonist of the story is Max, a little boy who is punished for acting like a wild child - in fact, for talking back to his mother! (I wonder if parents still punish their children for things like these... I´m afraid this is not that frequent... ) The thing is, Max is sent to his room without supper, and there he uses his imagination to travel to the land of the wild things -monsters- where he is their king. In the end, Max is forgiven and he gets his hot supper.
Whether you like the story or not, I would like you to pay attention to the audio in the following video (the quality of the photos is not very good, I know). The actor Christopher Walken reads the book and interprets the pictures, and that´s the part that I like and I would like you to focus on: he describes the images and imagines things. Since we are working on the language and the way to describe photos in 1st BAC, this is a good chance to hear someone describe a whole picture book. I hope you´ll enjoy it.

This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies. Those consequences include the steady and dangerous erosion of fundamental principles of freedom - amounting to a quiet repeal of the American revolution. The Quest for Cosmic Justice is the summation of a lifetime of study and thought about where we as a society are headed - and why we need to change course before we do irretrievable damage.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Essential reading. Well said."
To achieve peace, prosperity-for-every-person, and justice, we must ask ourselves "What approach to achieving these goals has worked in the past?" That is the question that Sowell answers with his deep knowledge of history -- with well-stated facts.
Many will dismiss his statements out-of-hand because it contradicts their ideology. But if we want to know what works, we must not dismiss the point-of-view that Sowell states so clearly.
Thomas Sowell is an example of diversity-in-action. For a black man to state facts that don't conform to the orthodoxy that is demanded of a black person is a beautiful example of liberated thinking. I admire him greatly and learn so much as I listen to him.

Idexx Reference Laboratories of Westbrook, Maine, now is able to test for pancreatic lipase levels in feline blood, a potential indicator of pancreatitis.
The company will test blood samples at its Maine facility and provide overnight results to referring veterinarians.
The new test was developed in conjunction with the GI (gastrointestinal) Laboratory at Texas A&M University's School of Veterinary Medicine and is based on the Texas A&M Lab's pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity test, which had been the most sensitive test available for pancreatitis.
Diagnosis of pancreatitis in cats is complicated because symptoms of the disease are not particularly specific, with the main clinical signs being lethargy (found in 100 percent of diagnosed cats), anorexia (97 percent), dehydration (92 percent), hypothermia (68 percent), vomiting (35 percent) and abdominal pain (25 percent), according to the Merck Veterinary Manual.
These general symptoms also could indicate several other feline diseases and conditions, meaning pancreatitis might not be diagnosed until after another disease was treated. This is significant because early identification of severe cases, as well as the ability to manage the disease early and prevent complications, could affect the success of the treatment.
Cats and dogs appear to have a similar mortality rate for severe cases of pancreatitis to humans, which is about 50 percent, according to the Merck manual.
The standalone test will allow veterinarians to identify or rule out pancreatitis at an earlier stage in the disease.
Idexx reports that feline pancreatitis is more common than previously thought, citing a 2007 study published in the Journal of Veterinary Pathology. That study, which looked at necropsy reports of cats for laboratory signs of pancreatitis, found that 67 percent of cats that had necropsies showed histological evidence of pancreatitis, regardless of cause of death, and that 45 percent of seemingly healthy cats that died showed signs of pancreatitis.

Dental inlays and dental onlays are valuable for restoring teeth that are severely decayed or worn. Typically, they are applied to the chewing surfaces on the back teeth.
What Is the Difference Between a Dental Inlay and a Dental Onlay?
In restorative dentistry, an inlay is used more like a filling for restoring normal tooth structure. It is best if the surface is small and only involves the chewing surface and surfaces between the teeth.
An onlay is similar to an inlay but treats larger areas, covering the entire chewing surface of a tooth. Dental onlays are recommended for larger tooth restorations and when chewing surfaces require long-term protection.
What Are Dental Inlays and Dental Onlays Made of?
Since both are used in areas of heavy chewing and grinding, they must be made from durable materials. They can be made from porcelain or composite resin chosen to match the color of your teeth or they can be made of a mixture of metals called an alloy. Alloys can be a mixture of metals like gold and palladium or nickel and chromium.
What Are the Restorative Dentistry Procedures for Dental Inlays and Dental Onlays?
The tooth is first prepared by removing portions of decay or damage. The remaining tooth structure is shaped in preparation for the dental inlay or dental onlay. An impression of the tooth is made along with opposing teeth and the bite. From this, a plaster model is formed that is used for a custom fit matching the contours of the tooth.
Since both dental inlays and dental onlays are custom-made, a second appointment is needed for checking the fit and cementing the inlay or onlay permanently. At that appointment, any adjustments to the bite will be made. A final polishing adds the final touch to this restorative dentistry treatment.
By Danine M. Fresch, DDS
Maybe you've thought about cosmetic dental work - but felt a little vain to consider it.
Or the appearance of your teeth never bothered you much, because your dental health is pretty good.
But fixing a small functional problem can sometimes yield wonderful, unanticipated dividends. Mary, for instance, had a few dental imperfections most of us could live with. But she was hampered from time to time by a lispy "s" sound.
Mary had gapped teeth, a diastema, which caused a slight but noticeable speech defect. She also showed evidence of life in the fast lane, too: teeth worn down, probably from nervous clenching of the jaw muscles or grinding teeth.
In Mary's case - and every case is different - porcelain veneers saved the day. Her cosmetic dentist began with a functional and esthetic evaluation to determine what shape and contour would best solve Mary's diastema problem. More tooth length was proposed, to give her a more youthful, proportioned appearance, too.
Impressions were taken, and sent off to the lab for fabrication. On the next visit, her teeth were cleaned and etched chemically, the dental veneers were cemented into place, and "cured" with a special light to seal them.
Mary's speech problem evaporated. Dentistry fixed that. But cosmetic dentistry did more than perfect her speech.
WHEN FUNCTION = BEAUTYLike an acrylic fingernail, veneers cover the front surface of the teeth. Porcelain dental veneers are strong and, by the way, look great.
As an architect of more that 60 years, I have learned that only the beautiful is practical. And universally, anything that is truly practical, functional, and useful is beautiful.

HONOLULU -- Someone has spirited away two of Hawaii's most hallowed historical relics and, in so doing, has cut sharply into the native culture's soul.
"It's hard to explain just how significant this is," said Lynn Lee, the land planner for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. "It would be a little bit, to Christians, as if somebody had stolen the bones of Jesus."
Like the missing antiquities -- woven baskets purportedly holding the deified bones of 15th and 16th century royalty -- the theft is shrouded in mystery.

Afghan probe team confirms US air strikes killed 90 civiliansAugust 31st, 2008 - 7:10 pm ICT by IANS
Kabul, Aug 31 (Xinhua) An Afghan investigation team probing the death of civilians in US-led coalition airstrikes Aug 22 said Sunday 90 people were killed in the raids in western Afghan province of Herat.The Minister for Haji and Religious Affairs and head of the investigation team Nimatullah Shahrani, submitting the report to President Hamid Karzai, said the air strikes purportedly on Taliban targets left 90 civilians dead and injured six, a presidential palace release said.
Based on the information of the locals, the investigation team emphasised that there were no militants in the areas where the strikes were carried out.
"As a result of the bombardments in Azizabad and Nawabad villages of Shindand district Aug 22, a total of 90 civilians — 15 men, 15 women and 60 children ranging from one year to 18 years of age — were killed," the report said.
Eight houses were destroyed and seven were partly damaged in the air strikes which lasted for six hours, the report noted.
"The locals had shown the body parts of the victims including hands, legs and heads of those killed in the tragic incident to the investigating team," said Shahrani.
The US-led Coalition forces also took with themselves five more civilians after the bloody operation, the statement said.
Both the Coalition forces and Afghan defence ministry at the beginning disputed the claim, saying 25 insurgents and five civilians were killed in the raid.
The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) after investigating the case last week confirmed the death of 90 civilians in the bombardments and called on warring sides to respect the rights of the non-combatants.
Civilian casualties during the international operations against the Taliban have become a matter of severe concern for the Western-backed Afghan government as it tries to win confidence of the people.
President Karzai earlier this month called on the international forces to shift their attention from Afghan villages, where he said it caused nothing but civilian casualties, to bases of terrorism.
Afghan officials said the Taliban have safe havens in tribal areas of Pakistan from where they cross the border and attack Afghan and coalition forces, a claim Islamabad has repeatedly denied.

The Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) was commissioned by Union Railways (South) Limited (a subsidiary of London and Continental Railways) to undertake a watching brief and detailed excavation between Fawkham Junction to Dale Road (Archaeological Zone 1) and from Dale Road to west of Hazells Farm (Archaeological Zone 2), southwest and south of Gravesend, Kent. This work formed part of an extensive programme of archaeological investigation carried out in response to the construction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL).
Earliest dated activity within the area may have taken place as early as c 4,000 BC with exploitation of spring lines at the valley floor east of Springhead. A barrow monument was set up to the west, at Whitehill Road: the original ditch around the barrow had partially filled in before the insertion of an inhumation burial. An amber necklace found with the body, while unusual in the Kent early Bronze Age tradition dates to latter part of the early Bronze Age. Human bone fragments from the burial gave a radiocarbon result of 3273�30BP (NZA-22740). When calibrated (1620-1440 cal BC) this indicates that the burial is post-Beaker. The construction of a second, outer concentric ditch around the barrow was also a secondary event, probably contemporary with the burial.
At Springhead, later Bronze Age colluvium sealed earlier features and was cut into by late Bronze Age pits and ditches. Apart from small amounts of late Iron Age material, there was no evidence for further activity until the 1st century AD when Roman field systems are laid out at Fawkham Junction and New Barn Road, and an enclosure constructed at South of Station Road. The Roman land use and activity was apparently short-lived and passed into disuse AD 100-150.
Later medieval and post-medieval activity within the landscape remained agricultural in character until the construction of the Gravesend West Railway in the mid 19th Century.

Neko Case Nearly Midnight, Honolulu Lyrics
sponsored linksHey little kid
That I saw at the bus stop one day
It was nearly midnight in Honolulu
We were waiting for the shadow
To take us to the aero plane
When your mother said, your mother said
Like I couldn't hear her
She said 'Get the fuck away form me'
Why don't you ever shut up?
Get the fuck away form me oh, oh
Well I just wanna say that it happened
Cause one day when you ask yourself
Did it really happen?
You won't believe it
But yes it did
And I'm sorry, and I'm sorry
Cause it happens every day
They won't believe you
When you tell them
They won't believe you
When you say
My mother she did not love me
My mother, she did not love me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no
Some days it feel like a cartoon
And people will rush to make excuses for you
You'll hear yourself complain
But don't you ever shut up
Please can have your say
Cause I still love you
Even if I don't see you again

John McEnroe said he will not apologize for claiming Serena Williams is only as good as the 700th-best male tennis player in the world.
In an interview with CBS This Morning on Tuesday, McEnroe said he would not apologize for the comments, which he made in an interview with NPR on Sunday.
Instead, McEnore lamented that tennis players are often asked to rank each other, regardless of their gender — which he says athletes in other sports rarely consider.
When asked why he would make the comment, McEnroe said: "It wasn't necessary. I didn't know it would create controversy."
"She's the greatest female player that ever lived," McEnroe said.
McEnroe, a retired tennis star who is now promoting his new book, was given the chance to re-do his rankings on CBS This Morning. He placed Williams in the fifth spot. "OK, you happy now?" he appeared to joke. As for himself, McEnroe said he "would be, currently, about 1,200 in the world." (When he was active in the sport, McEnroe had attained the No. 1 ranking in singles and doubles.)
Williams called out McEnroe on Twitter Monday evening, asking him to "please please keep me out of your statements that are not factually based."
"Respect me and my privacy as I'm trying to have a baby," Williams, who is pregnant, tweeted. "Good day sir."
Williams has won 23 singles Grand Slam titles, 14 more in doubles and is widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes in the world.
McEnroe's initial comments came as he was responding to a question from NPR about why he doesn't call Williams the greatest tennis player, period.
"If she played the men's circuit she'd be like 700 in the world," he said. "That doesn't mean I don't think Serena is an incredible player. I do, but the reality of what would happen would be I think something that perhaps it'd be a little higher, perhaps it'd be a little lower."
McEnroe's assessment of Williams's rank among her male counterparts differs from one he gave in the past. In 2015 after her Wimbledon win, McEnroe called Williams "arguably the greatest athlete of the last 100 years," according to ESPN.

New York State United Teachers settled with the attorney general's office Tuesday, in a probe into how it accepted $3 million in shelf-space payments each year from ING Group to endorse its annuities without disclosing the arrangement to its members. The investigation found that the union even, in fact, took steps to conceal the pact, according New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's lawsuit.
The union would urge its members to attend financial planning seminars, claiming that "there's no sales pitch -- they [the seminars] do not promote specific products or services." But contrary to this claim, the union, in conjunction with ING, used the seminars to promote ING retirement products, including annuities with annual fees of as much as 2.85% a year -- three times as much as some equity mutual funds.

Parents who went on run with disabled son claim hospital food and vaccines harming him
More than a day after being taken from a Brisbane hospital by his parents, Chase Walker-Steven has been taken to a New South Wales hospital for assessment, ending a frantic search.
The four-year-old, who suffers from a disability, was taken from Lady Cilento Hospital about 12.30pm on Thursday by mother, Cini Walker, and father, Marc Alexander Steven.
About 24 hours later police issued an Amber Alert, which was sent interstate, leading to police receiving about a dozen calls from members of the public with information. However, it wasn't until about 4pm when police had their first major breakthrough.
After information from the public, Ms Walker was found in Newcastle, on the New South Wales' central coast, and after calling her partner, Mr Steven brought Chase to officers in the same area less than an hour later.
Police said the parents hadn't provided an explanation as to why they ran away with their son, but Ms Walker has documented her battle with Brisbane hospitals on Facebook.
In an online biography of their son, Ms Walker and Mr Steven wrote that Chase was born healthy but claimed that after having a vitamin K injection within 10 minutes of birth he started having seizures.
They said that after further vaccinations during his first few days of life, Chase's seizures would come back worse than before. The parents alleged it caused him to develop "spastic, quadriplegic cerebral palsy and undiagnosed, uncontrolled epilepsy".
However, nothing could be found on brain scans, but both parents believe their son was damaged by the vaccinations.
The family claim medicinal cannabis had improved Chase's condition and Ms Walker previously warned she would walk out of hospital with Chase if the staff refused to give him medicinal cannabis, as his parents wanted.
In a Facebook video from January 18, which Ms Walker shared just one day before taking her son from the hospital, she also questioned whether she even owned her son any more.
"How much more do we have to prove that we love our kid?" she said. "He needs to get better and they're destroying that."
Ms Walker said the boy did not need or want to be back in hospital. She believed the medication would harm her son and hospital food would kill him because of his dairy allergy.
"I hate watching my son being drugged up and he doesn't wake up because he's in a coma because of the medications they give him," she said.
"I've also told the doctors and the child services that I will not feed my son any of their stuff and I will fight for him not to have it.
"That will be the last thing he has because I believe he's allergic to it and he will seizure and he'll seizure to the point he'll die."
At the conclusion of the search, Detective Acting Inspector Grant Ralston said charges were not likely to be laid early on Friday evening, but police would review the case into the night.
He said the situation "could have gone bad" but he was "very encouraged" by the success and scale of the police-issued Amber Alert, which included flashing signs on freeways telling motorists to look out for the family.

Desensitized Color Syndrome in Landscape Photography
Before you start reading this essay, understand that all artists have unique approaches to how they tackle their artwork. In digital photography, I'm going to guess that 99%+ of professional landscape artists use some sort of digital processing for their images. If you count the fact that cameras also process information coming off the sensor — even when shooting RAW — 100% of digital photographers use digital processing for their images. Personally, I shoot RAW files and do the processing in Adobe Lightroom and sometimes I also use Adobe Photoshop, especially for some types of layers, such as luminosity masks, or localized adjustments that can't be done in Adobe Lightroom (please, give us a Curves Adjustment Brush!). So, this essay isn't about using a digital processing tool, because I think that's a given with digital photography just as much as it was with black and white photography and color film photography. If you don't think it was done with film and think that "photoshopping" is bad, pick up a copy of Ansel Adams' Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs. It'll change your mind when you see what Ansel Adams did to make his prints. The only difference is that we now do that on the computer.
There's a syndrome in outdoor and landscape photography and I like to call it Desensitized Color Syndrome. In the syndrome, you can watch over a number of years as a photographer's color saturation gradually increases. So much so that you can compare one older photo with a newer one and it will look like the newer one exists in some world where colors are so amazing that it looks like Superman must have zapped the terrain with his color-enhancing vision. There's nothing new about photographers attempting to increase the color saturation of a photo. We've been trying to do it with filters, film and digital methods since color film was invented. If you've been around photography long enough, you'll remember Fuji Velvia as an example — a slide film that I loved. You'll also see photographers whose work looks more saturated than any photo that you've ever taken, but all of their work is consistently saturated as part of their "style." That's not necessarily the syndrome. The syndrome is when with your own work, you notice it becomes more and more saturated over time, but only notice it when looking back as a retrospective.
I get it. Color saturation is addictive and alluring. It's easy to increase with a slider here and a slider there or with a targeted layer and mask or even a plugin designed specifically for increasing color saturation. The problem is that in digital photography, it's easy to become desensitized to color saturation, especially when comparing your work to photographers who use more saturation than you do. What happens is that as you become desensitized, you gradually increase the saturation and then you become desensitized to that level of saturation and you increase it again and this goes on and on until….SUPERMAN. All of a sudden your images are so saturated that it looks like you live on Krypton.
In my photography workshops when I teach image processing, I talk about how to recognize what needs to be done to a photo to maximize its potential by figuring out where the image needs to lead the eye and what stops your eye from going there. Usually this involves dodging and burning, lightening and darkening, respectively, parts of the image to increase visual flow, but sometimes increasing color saturation in one area of the image or one specific color in the image can increase visual flow. Even though the image may need some increase in saturation, one thing that I tell my students is that the "Saturation" slider in Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop is 100% completely off limits. The reason being is that slider increases overall saturation in the image instead of targeting the specific type of saturation that the image needs to increase its impact. The overuse of the saturation slider leads to Desensitized Color Syndrome, because you get used to the oversaturation and need to increase it further to get more impact from your brain.
How do you avoid this?
The easiest way is to never touch the saturation slider or increase the saturation. The hard way is figuring out why you think you need more color. For the second, it's usually because your image lacks impact. While there are many questions that you can ask yourself about why your image lacks impact, the following three can help you figure out if it lacks impact because of something you did wrong in the field or if it lacks impact because you need to work on image flow. Before you work on your image (or better: before you take the picture) ask yourself:
- Is it an interesting subject?
- Is it the right composition?
- Is the light right?
If you answer all the questions "yes," then you know that you have a good photo and that the lack of impact doesn't come from lack of saturation, but it comes from lack of image flow. There's something in the image that is preventing the composition and the light from working right with the subject. If you're shooting RAW, it might be that the data that has come off the sensor just needs more contrast. But the general principles are that bright areas draw your eye and dark areas repel your eye. When you process the image, you need to use those principles to guide the viewer's eyes through the photo.
For example, in the following image, the version on the left is straight off of the camera shot in RAW. The camera hasn't applied anything to the image. It looks rather blah, but we know the subject is interesting, the composition is right and the light is right, so we have a solid starting point. First I increased the contrast, increased the exposure, but brought down the highlights. Basically, I adjust the image without increasing saturation to make it pop. The image in the middle is after I made the basic adjustments. You may have noticed that with the increase in contrast, the colors now look more saturated, but that happened without increasing saturation. Note: if you shoot jpeg, your camera makes these adjustments for you and gives you limited control.
After the global adjustments were made, I made local dodge and burn adjustments. Every gray dot on the right image represents one area that I thought was either too dark or too bright and because of that, it reduced the visual flow. In this image, the flow I wanted was for people's eyes to go up and down the waterfall, but not get stuck in the waterfall. After the journey down the falls, I wanted to free the eyes to be able to wander across the image — to check out the rocks, the lichen and the cedars — but I wanted to make sure that the waterfall still was the biggest visual draw. If you compare the right image with the center, you'll be able to see what I darkened and lightened to increase the impact.
The key is to understand that impact is created not by uber-super saturation, but by first making sure that you have an interesting subject, the right composition and the right light, and then figuring out the visual flow and how to increase that flow in processing. If you take this approach, your images will be stronger, the saturation will look normal, and it won't creep up continuously as you become desensitized to color's impact. You'll avoid Desensitized Color Syndrome.
I also use Lightroom. but I rarely touch the saturation slider. I sometimes use the vibrance slider, but I do most of the color work with the HSL individual color sliders.
Thank you for posting this. I was just talking about this subject to my sister. I like the way you have presented it. I tried to explain it her as she needs to show maturity as a photographer. I have met many photographers that are saturation happy but what they don't realize is they don't have a balance in their photographs. I read a book called "See It" and it talked a lot about visual intensity and the balance between the elements in a photograph. I highly recommend this book for beginners and teachers. Keep up the good work! My sister is moving up to Minnesota in August so, eventually, one or both of us will attend one of your workshops.
Thanks Bryan for the blog. I have found myself doing this with some sunset pictures. I justified it by thinking, "This was more like I saw it." Sometimes, I feel the image will get more "recognition" if it is more visually stunning. Either way, it may not necessarily be bad, just over-saturated. I think if I study and evaluate my photos critically, it is easier to see if they are oversaturated for effect or for reality. I guess it depends on what you want from your photos.
I'm so glad I read this article. I'm not a techy person and post processing is something I totally hate but feel is a necessary evil! I don't use saturation, much. In fact, I find myself desaturating sometimes because I don't care for fake over coloring. But I'm going to pay more attention as I go in my my 365 project because I do use plug ins that may be giving super man effects!!

Cut out the bass other then that Its pretty good but that damn bass NEEDS TO DIE,Well just get toned down.I have a temper problem -_-
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this beat is gold the remix itself is great keep it up i like this music dude
Rated 3 / 5 stars
That bass, man, that bass...
I heard a lot of potential, but that bass just overpowers everything else in the track so much that it just isn't fun anymore. If you ever are returning to this one, tone down that bass a bit. Then I can give you some better CC as right now I can't really make out what the background music is all about, while that should be more present than the bass...
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this level is hella fun

It's a question that inevitably will come up at some point in our lives: How on earth did I get so old? It's a question that advisors especially are asking. As I have blogged about here, here and here, advisors are not a young bunch. The average age in the industry is 55.
How is it that advisors have grown so old? Some chalk it up to demographics. Baby Boomers are one of the largest demographic groups in the country, second only to Echo Boomers, so the aging advisors simply mirror the population at large.

After every swing recieve immediate
feedback on your watch and detailed
metrices on your phone
SlamdunQ golf helps you analyze your swing through biomechanics explained clearly via expertly designed parameters.
Sensors detect all the parameters a golf coach would advice for swing analysis and present the data in a concise and informative form on the phone. A state of the art animation shows you exact movement of your swing bringing to you, your very own 'action replay'.
Arm speed
The speed of your grip at the time of impact
Swing Path
It is the direction the club head is moving (right or left) at impact and is measured relative to the target line. A positive value means the club is moving to the right of the target at impact ("in-to-out" for a right-handed golfer) and a negative value means it is moving to the left of the target ("out-to-in" for a right-handed golfer).
Club Speed
The 'predicted' speed of your club head at the time of impact
Impact/Face angle
Face Angle is the direction the club face is pointed (right or left) at impact and is measured relative to the target line. A positive value means the club face is pointed to the right of the target at impact ("open" for a right-handed golfer) and a negative value means the club face is pointed to the left of the target ("closed" for a right-handed golfer).
Ratio of time taken for backswing isto downswing. Ideal value should be 3:1
Plane Angle
Swing plane is the vertical angle between the ground and the circle that the club head travels on during the bottom portion of the swing arc. A driver typically has a swing plane between 45-50 degrees.

3 New TV Spots for THE GREEN HORNET
Sony Pictures has released three new TV spots for their upcoming film The Green Hornet. The film was directed by Michel Gondry. The action adventure film stars Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz, Edward James Olmos, David Harbour and Tom Wilkinson.
The Green Hornet hits theaters on January 14th 2011. Watch the TV spots and please tell us what you think about it in the rant back section below. Enjoy!
Britt Reid is the son of LA's most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene -- until his father mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father's more industrious and inventive employees, Kato, they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves -- protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato's clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt's new secretary, Lenore Case, they begin hunting down the man who controls LA's gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky. But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The Green Hornet once and for all.

On the tightrope
I have a new playlist. Thirty nine songs I did not own before that I listen to 1000 times a day. The Staves, Lana del Rey, Jenny Lewis, Janelle Monae, Lilly Collins, Alpine, et al. are filling my brain with new lyrics, new melodies, and new stories that make me feel as if I met a whole lot of new people {all women, I know} that want to get to know me one song at a time.
I have a new book. A fictional autobiography that won a Pulitzer Prize, a novel full of memories that beg to be read and remembered.
I have a pair of new shoes that I found with Kristin, because when I am with her, pretty shoes always end up on my feet, not that I'm complaining.
I have a new devotional that I read daily, often more than once. Bible verses and thoughts that I mull over and discuss with Tim, as if trying to decide the fate of humanity.
I have two new peony bushes that I planted and now have flower buds that I anxiously watch daily.
I have a new couch I did not need that's getting delivered on Friday.
I know, I know, it's just that I have this NEED to start over, to scratch it all and begin again. A need for newness, change, and balance that stirred inside of my soul and has translated into everything I touch, pouring out of me without hope of being stopped.
I am changing, being made new, and with me my surroundings. This is me finding a balance, this is healing, this is good.
P.S. Anyone want to buy my old couches?
"Cause baby whether you're high or low, you got to tip on the tightrope" - Janelle Monae

ZoneSearch is the innovative new mapping and information system to come out of York-based data supplier, Simunix. The service promises to improve the efficiency with which response and recovery units initiate their operations.
The unique mapping interface of ZoneSearch makes it possible to identify target areas with the click of a button. There are three ways in which the user can perform a search, each of which provides the highest level of precision possible.
By selecting the Polygon Search function, the user can draw a polygon of any shape or size around the required search area. This can include non-addressable locations such as railway lines, fields and riverbanks. The Radius Search involves simply clicking on the map and setting the size of the radius.
Once the search area is set, the user selects the information they wish to search for. This includes people, businesses and points of interest. Results are then displayed in a table that can be downloaded as a .CSV file.
Finally, the Map Search presents telephone, address and resident information in a small box as the user hovers their cursor over individual properties on the map. Again, the user can select individual records that can be saved and downloaded.
Simunix has been working closely with Ordnance Survey during the development of ZoneSearch. This has had the effect of keeping costs down for many organisations as the service utilises data that is already available to them under the Mapping Services Agreement.
Apart from the increased precision with which searches can be performed and the cost saving element, ZoneSearch has displayed a number of additional benefits. There are up to 40,000 revisions made to the information every 24 hours, meaning there is no data source that is more up to date. ZoneSearch has also proven to be a highly effective time saving solution for a number of organisations.
Paul McAfee, Head of Business Development at Simunix, says, "One of our clients spent 4 hours trying to identify people and businesses in a semi-rural area after unexploded ordnance had been discovered in a field – it took ZoneSearch 4 minutes and found 10% more unique records".
Zone Search is the key to ensuring that organisations are compliant with the required levels of good communication necessary for effective response and recovery at a time of crisis.

Customer Reviews
unfortunate purchase
This is not a good product by any stretch of the imagination. I have to use PDFs a lot for my work and I was very use to Adobe Pro when I was working in a Microsoft environment. This product promised all the right things and didn't deliver. I am still searching for a better tool…because this ain't it!
Don't waste your money
I have written to the developers requesting help and NOT ONCE have they responded with any help. The help that comes with it is useless. As soon as I can find something to replace this program I'll be so happy to hit the delete key and get rid of it.
Useless program.
Very bad
DO NOT BUY! Very bad and completely useless. Extremely limited and weak in comparison to Apple Preview app. Trust me you are better off with the Apple Preview which is free. 30 bucks for this, we have to be serious right now! That one is definetely not a steal of deal! STAY AWAY!

This site belongs to UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning
In order to ensure improved quality of the education system, a clear framework designed to monitor the process of learning and learning outcomes is essential.
The monitoring framework should be based on the country's goals for the education system, and should be designed to monitor quality and development on different levels (country, region, schools) and for different target groups (school authorities, teachers, students). The framework includes four basic and interrelated stages: collecting the data, analysis of the data, planning for improvement, and implementation support.
This is illustrated in the figure below, representing the ongoing process of monitoring and evaluation in conjunction with planning and implementation.
What is the current status?
The description of the current situation must be based on analysis of data from relevant indicators for quality and learning. Gathering this data together to establish the baseline in all important areas of measurement will make clear which information is available from past cycles of monitoring, whether that data is of acceptable quality, and what is missing or needs to be improved.
How do we succeed?
Using all of the available baseline data, an analysis is conducted of the situation in the education sector [link to Education Sector Analysis article] and of priority areas where improvement needs to be made. Analysis of the data helps to identify the various factors that are related to the priority issues, as well as potential root causes of the difficulties that are faced. This analysis is followed by a decision-making process focused on determining the best policies and strategies [link to that article] for addressing these causal factors.
How do we improve?
Based on the analysis of the situation, decision-makers must next set realistic, but also concrete and ambitious plans to improve results at all levels: schools, regions and country. These take the form of specific programmes and activities [link to article] that will be accomplished under the next education strategic plan. As these programmes and activities are defined, they must be associated with specific targets and indicators for measuring the planned inputs, processes, and outputs [link to Indicators article]. While some indicators may already exist, in other cases new indicators will need to be developed, along with the instruments and procedures for obtaining that information.
How do we implement?
This section of the monitoring framework emphasizes how the planned data collection methods will be implemented, in conjunction with the planned programmes and activities. Specific details for implementing the monitoring system are described in a monitoring plan (see an example template), which clearly specifies:
The monitoring framework as a continuous process
As the planned programmes and activities are implemented, and monitoring data is collected, the cycle of the monitoring framework continues to revolve. Collected data is used to determine changes since the previous measuring period's baseline, and new analyses are conducted regarding areas where further progress and new strategies are needed.

Come on over, Stand by me

Come here, to my fading star
Now I am alone
Hey, can you see me?
Looking for a miracle,
the dream that we earnestly strive for
Can't seem to find
the cloudless sky we must look up to)
Come on over, Come on over
I'm not doubtful with you
Come on over, Stand by me
When the attracting fingers
Come on over, Come on over
are tangled together,
Come on over, Stand by me
the fears will melt away
Come on over, Come on over
Will our mirror be my sword?
Come on over, Stand by me
Just reach out your hand
Come on over, Come on over
When our desires meet
Come on over, Stand by me
the beam of light will gleam through

On July 16th, CNBLUE's Yonghwa and actress Park Shin Hye successfully completed the Japanese fan meet for their drama, 'Heartstrings'.
Held at the Tokyo International Forum Hall A, the fan meeting gathered a whopping 10,000 fans, reflecting the rising popularity of the drama since it began broadcasting on Japanese airwaves on the 9th.
As it was the two stars' first time visiting Japan together, the concert hall is reported to have had an excited energy even before the event officially began. Park Shin Hye played the traditional Korean kukak instrument, while Yonghwa amped up the crowd with a guitar performance of "I Miss You" from the drama's OST.
The two then sat for the concert's talk show segment where they aimed to get closer with the fans by sharing various thoughts and stories. They even sang the drama's theme song together, bringing the concert to a successful conclusion.
A portion of the profits made from the fan meet will be donated to charity.
Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye Successfully Complete "Heartstrings" Fan Meeting in JapanJuly 20, 2012
"Heartstrings" stars Jung Yong Hwa and Park Shin Hye are breaking more ground as new Hallyu celebrities in Japan. The two actors top-billed the "Heartstrings" fan meeting held on July 16 at the Tokyo International Forum Hall.
The "Heartstrings" fan meeting took place in two sessions, one at 2:00 p.m. and another at 6:00 p.m. It was the first time for the drama to hold a meeting between its stars and fans.
The events kicked off with Park Shin Hye's music performance. In the drama, the actress played Lee Kyu Won, a gayageum student who is also a part of The Windflowers, a traditional music group. Members of The Windflowers were also present at the fan meeting. Park Shin Hye performed "Ready to Fight" from the "Heartstrings" OST and showcased a total of three songs.
Jung Yong Hwa pitched in with "Because I Miss You," his solo song from the soundtrack, encouraging an even warmer reception from the audience.
The fans present joined in singing for the finale, a rendition of the "Heartstrings" theme song, "You've Fallen for Me."
The day reportedly brought in an approximate 10,000 attendees. The Japan fan meeting organizers have decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from the event to local nonprofit organizations.
"Heartstrings," which aired in Korea in mid-2011 premiered on Japan's FujiTV on July 9.
