Visible Dust Sensor Cleaning System
March 2, 2011 | 1 Comment |
The first step is to use an ounce of prevention. Minimize your equipment's exposure to dust during storage and use, as much as practical. (I store and transport all my gear in Ziploc plastic bags.)
The second step is to remove dust from your camera's sensor.
To protect themselves against carelessness of a minority of their clients, camera manufacturers claim to void warranties if you use third party cleaning solutions and recommend instead that you send the camera to them to be professionally cleaned. Even if you are not on a tight deadline or traveling in remote locations, this is often impractical. Initially, I was concerned about my ability to clean my camera's sensor without damaging it. Then I found that cleaning your camera's sensor is surprisingly easy and that you have to go to some length to actually damage a sensor. A little care and forethought is all that's required. (See cleaningdigitalcameras.com for more information.)
Visible Dust's (visibledust.com) Arctic Butterfly is my preferred sensor cleaning solution. Unlike many other solutions the Arctic Butterfly doesn't use fluids that may produce streaking on your sensor; instead, they use static electricity to attract the dust. Visible Dust has been making electrostatically charged brushes that won't damage your camera's sensor when you use them. The first brush solutions from Visible Dust used compressed air to create a static charge, which could be difficult to store and transport (impossible on airlines). The Artic Butterfly uses motion to create a static charge; the brush rotates at high speed. (The new units and their cases are far more durable than previous models.)
How easy is it to use? Extremely. Simply remove the top of the Arctic Butterfly and press the button to spin the brush. Turn your camera (without a lens) to sensor clean mode. Sweep the sensor a few times. Turn the camera off and put a lens back on it. Done! It takes less than a minute. It will save you hours of retouching. I recommend making this a regular practice whenever you change lenses – the time when most dust enters and moves.
Keep the brush clean; free of dust and oil (typically picked up from your hands or the chamber of your camera). If a brush becomes soiled, you can replace the ferules instead of the entire unit.
For difficult to remove dirt on sensors that can't be swept away, Visible Dust's Sensor Cleaning Swabs may be your final solution. Swabs and Sensor Clean or Vdust Plus liquid can be used to remove water and oil stains, providing even coverage without streaking and creating a light static barrier to help repel dust.
Optionally, a Sensor Loupe can be used to view the sensor under illumination at high magnification to ensure that the sensor is clean.
Whenever practical, confirm that your camera's sensor has been successfully cleaned, by making an exposure of a flat field of color (such as a sky) at a small aperture (to better resolve the dust). Thoroughly check the file in Photoshop (or the image editor of your choice) at 100% magnification.
The Visible Dust sensor cleaning system hasn't failed me yet. It goes everywhere I go. It's easy to store, transport, and use. It's saved me countless hours of time in image processing. It will save you valuable time too.
Arctic Butterfly SL700 ($70.95)
Sensor Loupe ($79.95)
Ultra MXD-100 Sensor Cleaning Swab ($37.95)
Sensor Clean ($35.90) and VDust Plus ($19.95)

D-Roller – Uncurl Your Prints
February 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment |
Quickly cure curl in prints made from roll papers with D-Roller.
This device is extraordinarily simple and effective.
You might wonder why a simple plastic tube with an attached sheet of plastic costs as much as it does – 24" $259.99, 36" $279.95, and 50" $299.99. When you see how effective, easy, and fast it is to use you'll realize it's money well spent.
Here's how easy it is.
1 Place a print on the white carrier film near the tube.
2 Roll the tube away from you, wrapping the print between the tube and the film.
3 Hold for a few seconds.
4 Unroll the tube
5 Turn the print 180 degrees and repeat.
6 Remove the flattened print.
Here are a couple of tips for using it.
The longer you hold the paper rolled up the more curl you take out; you can actually reverse the curl if you hold the paper too long.
Paper coming off the outside of the roll requires less derolling than paper coming of closer to the core.
Low humidity requires more derolling.
Non-rag papers require more derolling.
Though the very smooth plastic won't damage print surfaces, you can include a cover sheet in the derolling process for exceptionally delicate materials.
Special rollers can be custom ordered for very long prints.
Is it really that simple? Yes!
Does it really work? Yes!

InkAID – Coat Your Own Substrates
February 4, 2011 | 1 Comment |
Interested in printing on exotic substrates? Consider InkAID (inkaid.com). InkAID is a liquid coating that prepares surfaces for inkjet printing. Coating an exotic substrate's surface will do several things. It will reduce dot gain, allowing the print to hold more detail. It will increase gamut, providing greater saturation. It will increase dmax, yielding a better black.
Artists are experimenting with many types of exotic substrates from aluminum, to acrylic sheets, to wood, to uncoated fine art and handmade papers. Basically, if you can get it through the printer and you can get the ink to stick you can print on it. InkAID helps the ink stick.
InkAid is easy to use. Stir it. Brush it on. Let it dry. Print.
There are currently five InkAid products. White Matte Precoat creates a white matte coat on any surface. Clear Semi-Gloss Precoat creates a transparent semi-gloss finish on any surface. InkAID Adhesive and Clear Gloss Precoat create a transparent glossy surface with two coats. Clear Gloss Precoat II creates a transparent glossy surface with one coat. When using clear coats, you can choose to let the coloration of the base surface show through (the material itself or a surface with an image) or you can coat it first with White Matte Precoat.
ping and handling.
Surfaces are water resistant and can be reworked with subsequent printings, over painting, or distressing.
You may be able to use ICC profiles for similar inkjet surfaces (if you get lucky), but it's more likely that you will have to create new ICC profiles specifically for this surface to achieve the optimum results, especially if the final state of the coated substrate is not white.
InkAID is acid free and contains no optical brighteners. Nonstandard tests (hang samples in a window in direct sunlight next to other prints and compare) indicate longevity is roughly on par with similar inkjet prints. Longevity ratings obtained from standardized tests are not available as the variety of substrates being used today is so vast.
A liter costs $25. A gallon costs $65. A sample set (5 ounces of five products) is available for $21 plus ship
InkAID.com has a useful FAQ section answering many common questions about it's use. The book Digital Art Studio: Techniques for Combining Inkjet Printing with Traditional Art Materials by Bonnie Lhotka, Karen Schminke, and Dorothy Simpson Krause is another source of useful information.

Print Shield – Protective Print Spray
February 3, 2011 | 2 Comments |
There's a print spray that anyone making inkjet prints needs to know about – Premier Art's Print Shield. It's a UV water resistant lacquer that comes in a variety of finishes – matte, semi-gloss, and glossy. It offers protection from light, water, moisture, airborne contaminants, and fingerprints. It doesn't produce any visible changes in the print, either in color or density or surface. It dries fast and doesn't have a strong odor. It reduces burnishing and scuffing somewhat. Most importantly, it greatly increases longevity, in some cases by as much as 200%
Each $15 400ml can covers approximately 75 8×10" prints.
Henry Wilhelm has tested prints sprayed with Print Shield. Visit wilhelm_research.com for his most current data on longevity.
I spray all of my prints with Print Shield now.
Just like spraying a pastel, apply the fixative carefully. If the substrate gets soaked the surface may darken permanently. Instead of spraying the print directly, spray the air above the print and let the mist fall onto the print surface. Let the print dry for a few minutes. Then reapply.

The Art of Packing
January 13, 2011 | Leave a Comment |
Find my Equipment Packing List here.
Find my Clothes Packing List here.
There's an art to packing. Practice it with care. You'll get better every time you do it. Learning this art will help you make the most of any photographic expedition and enjoy it more.
Do pack the essentials. Don't pack too much. Travelling with too much is hard to handle, tiring, and can be costly. Less is more – up to a point.
It's tempting to bring too much clothing. Bring only versatile essentials. Find light, washable, quick-drying, versatile clothing you can walk or go to a casual dinner in. Find out ahead of time what kinds of laundry services will be available during your trip and plan to use them – frequently. Bring a good pair of light waterproof hiking boots. Dress shoes don't work when you're walking in the wilderness. Bring sun protection; sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses. Unless you're travelling in a desert, bring waterproof rain shells (jacket and pants). If you're likely to be in cold situations (early mornings or snow), bring light gloves, hat, long underwear, and a warm light sweater or pullover. If you're going to be in an arctic or alpine environment bring two pairs; staying dry is key. Leave the big ski parkas and pants home. Layers rule.
The right bags can make journeys easier. Wheels save you an enormous amount of wear and tear. Make sure your camera and/or computer bag fits under an airplane seat or in overhead compartments. (I use LowePro MiniTrekker and Roadrunner bags.) If you're flying on small airplanes to more remote regions, check weight limits and take them seriously. Check your clothes; carry your gear. Avoid checking your gear; it can get damaged or stolen. If you're ever forced to check your gear, carry on one camera and lens around your neck. I travel with one larger camera bag and one small backpack. I carry on the camera bag and pack the backpack in my checked baggage. Once I'm in the field, I walk with my small backpack carrying only the things I need for that location – camera, cards, extra battery, two lenses, water, power bar. (I always pack power bars, for morning when breakfast is light or late or mid afternoon when my fuel reserves can get low.) I also pack an extra duffle bag, just in case I need to check an extra bag – it comes in handy for laundry too.
Cameras and Lenses
Always carry a backup camera. If one is damaged or stolen, you'll still be able to shoot with the other. It's convenient (but not necessary) if the two cameras you carry are the same. That way you'll only need to carry one set of accessories, like batteries, chargers, cords, etc.
Your choice of lenses is important. Lenses help you make the most of many situations. I travel with lenses for three ranges – wide, medium, and long. I rarely walk with all three lenses. To decide which lenses to take, I first look at the location and decide whether I'm most likely to work wide (close environments) or long (wide open spaces), take the appropriate lens, and a medium lens for versatility. All of my lenses are zooms, providing extra versatility. (Canon 16-35mm, 28-135mm, and 100-400mm) Lens shades are important. Polarizing filters are the most useful filters.
Dust and Moisture
Protecting your equipment from moisture and dust is a significant concern. I pack all of my lenses and cameras in sealable plastic bags. (I use Ziplocs.) I store them in them, whenever I'm not using them. I never put my gear away wet. Pack a small cloth to wipe down equipment that does get damp. If you're likely to shoot in rain or snow consider using a rain cover for your camera. (I use Aquatech's.) Bring a sensor cleaning system. (I use Visible Dust products.) Dust happens. It's a lot more efficient to remove it in the field than in post-processing.
Having the right media to store your images is important. It's worth investing in a few large media cards so you don't run out of storage to shoot with in the field. (I use SanDisk 32GB CF cards). At the end of each day, I download onto one portable hard drive and backup to a second.. (I use LaCie 1TB Rugged drives.) When I fly, I pack one in my suitcase and carry one with me at all times. You might also consider carrying a large capacity thumb (32GB plus) drive with you at all times. Put your 5 star images on it. What if your hard drives were lost or stolen? You can replace equipment, but you'll never be able to replace your images.
Getting all your gear through security and customs is rarely a problem. That said, in any security situation where my equipment is being screened I take as many precautions as practical to ensure equipment doesn't fall out of a bag or bin and isn't dropped when it's handled. Clearing customs can be more problematic in some countries than others. Do a little research on the web and determine if a carnet (an official government document proving ownership) is recommended. Even if it's not, I always travel with a copy of my insurance policy that lists my equipment and the serial numbers of each piece.
Before you travel, take the time to get organized and be prepared. You'll make better photographs and enjoy traveling more too.

Kaplan MCAT Sample Question
General Chemistry
Which of the following is the best explanation of the phenomenon of hydrogen bonding?
- Hydrogen has a strong affinity for holding onto valence electrons.
- Hydrogen can only hold two valence electrons.
- Electronegative atoms disproportionately carry shared pairs when bonded to hydrogen.
- Hydrogen bonds have ionic character.
The answer is:
C. Electronegative atoms disproportionately carry shared pairs when bonded to hydrogen.
Answer choice (C) correctly describes the underlying forces of hydrogen bonding. Electronegative atoms bound to hydrogen dispropotionately pull covalently bonded electrons toward themselves, which leaves hydrogen with a partial positive character. That partial positive charge is attracted to nearby negative or partial-negative charge, such as those on other electronegative atoms. (A) is not true; hydrogen has little electronegativity and does not hold its valence electrons closely. (B) is a true statement, but does not describe the cause of hydrogen bonding. (D) is not correct; although these bonds are highly polarized, they are not ionic.

Torchbearers were selected from people with extraordinary stories through an online essay contest.
Nathan Kinion of Athens will be one of three torchbearers in the Atlanta leg.
Kinion traveled to Disneyland as a Boy Scout in 1972 and saw a picture of Walt Disney running with the Olympic torch. Since that day Kinion has dedicated his life to combining his leadership role with the Boy Scouts and the Olympic spirit and founded the Boy Scouts of America Olympic Awareness Program, where Boy Scouts can interact with Olympians and learn about drive and determination.
Also running in Atlanta will be Judith Clark, a special education teacher from Mableton, and Crystal Haire of Rock Hill, S.C.
The 2004 Olympic Torch Relay will be the first global relay and the longest, spanning five continents. In the United States, the torch will make stops in Los Angeles, St. Louis and New York, as well as Atlanta.

The High Marginal Tax on Working
March 6, 2003
Over time, going to work raises some taxes and government benefits and lowers others. Using a computer model of a two-earner couple with two children at various income levels, economists calculated the lifetime consequences of employment.
They found that Americans at every income level face a lifetime marginal net tax rate greater than 50 percent. That is, for every dollar they earn, they will lose more than 50 cents in higher taxes and reduced transfer benefits.
Furthermore, they found the highest marginal net tax rates are imposed on those with the lowest earnings. (See Figure IV.) For example:
- At two times the minimum wage ($42,800), working couples keep less than 30 cents out of each dollar they earn.
- At 1.5 times the minimum wage ($32,100), they keep less than 20 cents.
- By contrast, a couple earning $200,000 a year keeps 44 cents.
- The disincentives to work at the low end of the income scale are even worse comparing part-time with full-time work:
- A minimum-wage couple that moves from half-time to full-time work will lose 97 cents out of every extra dollar they both earn. (See Table II.)
At 1.5 times the minimum wage, the couple will lose $1.06 for every extra $1.00 they earn; for them, working more literally means having less.
Marginal net tax rates for low-income families are draconian because our system has a very generous package of welfare benefits for people who do not work, but begins taking away those benefits at a steep rate for modest income workers.
The couple modeled, for example, can expect $489,100 in lifetime benefits if they never work. However, if both spouses work full-time and each earns about $16,000, the loss of Medicaid and other welfare benefits will cost them two-thirds of their income over the whole of their worklives.

WALTHAM Practice was over for the Boston Celtics, but Ryan Hollins' lessons for the day were just getting started.
Kevin Garnett, whose presence in Boston was among the factors that Hollins weighed in his decision to sign with the C's after being waived by the Cavaliers, was getting some KG 101.
Garnett worked on an array of low-post moves with Hollins, leading by example all the while talking the 7-footer through the lesson.
This is the Garnett that we seldom see, but often hear about.
As much as Garnett has meant to the NBA, those that know him best say these are the moments when he's truly in his comfort zone -- teaching to a willing student.
Garnett has always made himself and his knowledge of the game available to any of his younger teammates, as long as they're willing and capable of handling the truth.
He has found a flock of eager learners in JaJuan Johnson, Greg Stiemsma, E'Twaun Moore and now, Ryan Hollins.
"He scored over 20,000 points," said C's guard Rajon Rondo of Garnett. "He's the man to listen to."
But it's clear in talking with Garnett that as much as his teachings benefit the players, he too comes away with something just as valuable -- hope that whenever he decides to walk away from the game, there will be others still around that put in the time to work at their craft the way he has for all these years, and that they too will pass their knowledge of the game down to the next generation of NBA players.
"You see these guys come in and put in their work," Garnett said in a recent interview, referring to the Celtics rookies. "Young guys don't even grind like this. They don't even come in and work like this. It's good to see; it's refreshing to be honest."

Frank Scaturro was not invited to speak at Grant's Tomb in upper Manhattan yesterday afternoon. His name appeared nowhere on the official program for the ceremony commemorating the memorial's centennial and recent $1.8 million face lift.
But as he approached the tomb on Riverside Drive and 122d Street, a man watching the parade yelled out:
''Hey, Frank, this is your day!''
''Thank you,'' Mr. Scaturro, 24, said.
The man, Conrad Ebenstein, a store manager from the Upper East Side, later said that he had recognized Mr. Scaturro as the young Columbia University student and gadfly who had drawn attention to the deteriorating state of the monument containing the remains of Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President and Civil War general.
Yesterday, the National Park Service, which oversees the site, invited Grant's descendants and politicians to look at the clean walls, new roof and other renovations at the tomb.
''As everyone knows, the monument was falling into disrepair,'' Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said. ''And the efforts of the Park Service and Federal Government really should be commended.''
Over the years, what had once been one of the city's most popular tourist attractions began showing signs of neglect.Continue reading the main story
The roof leaked. Vandals scarred its walls with graffiti, and skateboarders used its stairs as a ramp. And many critics said the memorial had become a cesspool for drug users, who urinated near it and littered the area with crack vials.
One of the most vocal critics was Mr. Scaturro, who developed a lifelong passion for Grant when his parents gave him an encyclopedia set at age 7. As soon as Mr. Scaturro, of New Hyde Park, N.Y., enrolled at Columbia in 1990, he volunteered with the National Park Service and began guiding tours of the tomb in April 1991.
Mr. Scaturro, who majored in history and wrote a senior thesis reassessing Grant's presidency, began sending memos outlining the tomb's deterioration to Park Service supervisors.
''At the height, I was sending weekly memos, including a 26-page memo in the summer of '92,'' he said yesterday.
''I guess I have a reputation for being single-minded,'' said Mr. Scaturro, who assumes a professorial demeanor as he speaks about Grant. In 1992, he even resurrected the Grant Monument Association, which maintained the tomb until the Park Service took it over in 1959.
In the fall of 1993, frustrated by the inaction, Mr. Scaturro said he then wrote a ''whistle-blowing'' report under the aegis of the association: 119 pages, plus 206 pages of appendices. He sent the report criticizing the Park Service to virtually every elected official from President Clinton on down, as well as to every local media outlet.
After a local television station interviewed him in November of that year, the National Park Service dismissed Mr. Scaturro as a volunteer, saying he had failed to go through proper channels to lodge his complaints.
In 1994, the President's descendants joined others, including Mr. Scaturro, in suing Federal officials and agencies in Federal District Court in Manhattan. They asked that the court order the Government to restore the site to the condition it was in when the Park Service acquired it.
That same year, a State Senator in Illinois made a bid to bring the tomb to her state, where the President spent much of his life.
Yesterday, Ulysses Grant Dietz, the President's great-great-grandson, and other descendants invited Mr. Scaturro, now a third-year law student at the University of Pennsylvania, to sit with them during the ceremonies, but he had no official role.
Chrysandra L. Walter, deputy regional director of the Park Service, said that Mr. Scaturro could simply not be squeezed into the program. ''His efforts were helpful,'' Ms. Walter said. ''There are no hard feelings.''
The tomb -- rising 150 feet above a structure of white granite -- was finished in 1897, 12 years after Grant's death, at a cost of $650,000 raised by public subscription. The general had told his son he wanted to be buried at West Point (where he had ranked 21st in a class of 39, despite excelling in horsemanship) ''but for the fact my wife could not be placed beside me there.''
And so in the marble interior, the general and his wife, Julia Dent Grant, lie side by side in polished red granite sarcophagi. Outside the tomb, between two sculptures over the entrance, are the words from Grant's letter accepting the Republican Party's nomination for President, which became his campaign slogan: ''Let us have peace.''
Mr. Scaturro's report listed damage from sandblasting stains to the loss of a beak on the eagle statue east of the memorial, apparently caused by a firecracker. The student also said that so-called improvements had tarnished the tomb's solemnity. For example, most of the general's battle flags were removed, and murals were painted out and replaced with photographs. Furthermore, the concrete benches studded with mosaic tiles detracted from the monument's classical mold, a copy of the tomb of Mausolus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.Continue reading the main story

Engineers at E-Dinar Coin, a Malaysian-based technology company, have harnessed the worldwide power of cryptocurrency for general financial consumption. The company has invested over $20 million since August, 2016 when it launched a unique and proprietary algorithm that guarantees all users a never-before-known level of safety and security. Also, their newly-designed decentralized platform assures participants an equivalent guarantee of privacy and anonymity. E-Dinar Coin, through exhaustive studies and experimentation, has developed a trading currency that utilizes improved blockchain technology. The product is safe, legal, instantaneous, private, green, and the least expensive way to buy, sell, transfer (either one-time or ongoing), trade, withdraw, contract-for or take-possession-of…. and moreover, it's investment-grade.
Imagine the simplicity of anonymous currency-free transactions without the constraints of international currency fluctuations or governmental monetary restrictions. In addition, no more countless fees charged by middlemen along the transactional path, including commercial bankers, clearing houses, insurers and credit/debit card companies. Today, world currencies are as diverse as they are insecure; their footprints lack privacy, involve costly third-party reconciliations, and strain environmental resources.
E-Dinar Coin (hereafter, EDC) has created a model with the strictest attention paid not only to the security of its particular platform; but also allowance for the ultimate privacy and independence of its stakeholders. A primary ingredient to the creative EDC blockchain is the degree of decentralization, which gives individuals a forum to efficiently establish a level of trust based upon their actual transactions within the system versus an amorphous rating-system created by centralized entities, including painfully slow, inefficient, costly, often inaccurate and redundant credit bureaus. The more a company or individual employs the platform, the more blockchain credibility the system dispenses.
If any argument can be made for the advancement of cryptocurrencies in general, and EDC in particular, all one needs to remember is the disastrous failure of central and commercial financial institutions around the world, beginning with peak sub-prime mortgage lending during 2005-2006. After nearly 500 years of organized banking, along with all the claims of inherent system-wide safeguards, world capital markets nearly collapsed under the weight of unencumbered leverage utilized in the creation of mortgage-backed derivatives and collateralized-debt obligations. The foxes were guarding the hen houses, as bankers worldwide became addicted to the leverage and monthly profit projections; while blinded to the steady erosion of their customer's portfolios.
While individuals benefit from the speed, safety, privacy and anonymity of cryptocurrency, E-Dinar Coin has also specifically designed its platform to seamlessly incorporate the needs of business owners. For example, EDC makes international selling easy without the roadblocks of interest rates, exchange rates, or currency differences and fluctuations. Additionally, businesses can market expressly to privacy-seeking consumers…unlike credit or debit cards, or other existing protocols that all link personal or corporate information to a transaction. Also, EDC clears instantaneously placing your company's assets where they belong – in your account, not subjected to waiting periods plus transactional fees. Furthermore, the ease, safety, and privacy of EDC's platform, gives member-merchants a unique opportunity to market possible discounts on products purchased via cryptocurrency.
The ability to make simple or complex transactions as near to next door or as far around the globe as our imaginations allow, using the proprietary blockchain technology provided by EDC has currently captured the interest of thousands of new members each month. While blockchain is the perfect venue for digital storage and the exchange of assets, E-Dinar's team of highly-skilled engineers is continually working on future applications for the platform. They have identified several areas of interest, including both the fields of Medicine, where patient records storage can be handled in a truly private manner, at virtually a fraction of today's cost; and Law, where the EDC platform is naturally amenable for replacing the existing time-consuming method of creating and executing legal contracts… again, at virtually no cost to the parties.
Bestowing additional credence on the viability of E-Dinar's platform, major bank officials and representatives from several allied financial institutions throughout Asia, chose E-Dinar Coin to receive their annual "Most Valuable Trading Crypto Platform of 2016." The company accepted the award on March 17 at the prestigious and influential China Annual Meeting of Finance and Financial Technologies 2017.

Mobile Enterprise Collaboration Technology Trends and Market Developments
Several of today's technology developments affect the market for mobile technology and the ways end-user organizations implement collaboration solutions. These include the rise of cloud-based platforms, the mobile collaboration mechanisms increasingly built into enterprise applications, and the integration of mobile capabilities with enterprise social networks.
On-Premise vs. Cloud Solutions
Enterprise mobile collaboration solutions are available as software for deployment on premise as well as in the form of cloud-based platforms from a number of providers, including Cisco, IBM, Microsoft (Yammer), SAP, Avaya, Box, Aastra, NEC, ShoreTel, Alcatel-Lucent, and AT&T.
Like every other category of enterprise solutions, the cloud is having a profound effect on how organizations implement mobile technology in general. Over the next 12-18 months, we can expect to see the use of cloud-based mobile collaboration platforms increase in popularity among end-user organizations. This is due to their lower-cost entry to adoption and their ability to support mobile workers regardless of their location. The latter is especially appealing when it comes to providing the architecture and resources necessary for supporting more comprehensive mobile collaboration capabilities like video and Web conferencing applications, both of which can place heavy demands on corporate networks and inhouse IT resources (see "Taming the Video Bandwidth Hog").
Mobile Collaboration "Under the Hood"
The enterprise software providers have been building mobile functionality into, or alongside of, their enterprise software tools and platforms for several years now; more recently, this has come to incorporate mobile collaboration features. This includes ERP applications (SAP, Oracle), CRM systems (Salesforce), and BI platforms (IBM/Cognos, SAP BusinessObjects, MicroStrategy, etc.).
The enterprise players are also making acquisitions of mobile collaboration providers. For instance, in December 2013, Cisco bought Collaborate. And back in June 2012, Microsoft acquired Yammer, which it has been steadily working to integrate into other Microsoft products, including Office 365. Expect these trends to ramp up over the next 12 months, with mobile collaboration capabilities increasingly becoming another available feature of enterprise applications.
Due to the various product options and technology developments, clients have told me that they face a dilemma when it comes to choosing a mobile collaboration solution. Should they decide to go with one of the newer cloud-based collaboration providers or opt for a possibly less friendly collaboration platform from an enterprise player? (When it comes to determining user "friendliness" of mobile collaboration platforms, in addition to featuring an intuitive user interface (UI), a solution should also support online training capabilities.)
Mobile Collaboration Integrating with Enterprise Social Networks
Employees naturally want to be able to use their mobile devices to connect with the enterprise social network to collaborate with colleagues, exchange comments, and access and share documents. In addition, integration of mobile collaboration tools with the enterprise social network offers a useful way for organizations to harvest employee feedback in order to determine what workers like and dislike about their mobile collaboration tools.
To meet this demand, mobile collaboration providers are developing their own social integration capabilities as well as partnering with enterprise social network providers. A good example is Box, which has partnered with enterprise social networking platform provider TIBCO's Tibbr.
Over the next 18 months, we should expect to see an increased focus by companies on integrating mobile capabilities with their enterprise social networks.

Great, informative post! I'm excited to see what will happen and how this collaboration with mobile devices pans out. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting. We'll have to wait and see how this idea is actually implemented.

Here is what I think:
1. First page is not scannable, e.g. Hard to read
2. No value statements e.g. What are the most important things you've done in your career?
3. No big numbers, recruiters love big numbers
4. You've used a standard word template which looks like a well, a standard word template.....
5. It looks bad because you've used all black and white haven't used dot points and used a difficult to read font.

Inland Empire's Authentic Indian Cuisine Koyla Charcoal Restaurant Healthy, Delicious, Inviting, Family and right in your own backyard! Ever wanted to travel to Indian to experience exotic tastes from that homeland? Now you can! Nestled in the heart of Rancho Cucamonga, Koyla Charcoal Authentic Indian Cuisine. Rancho Cucamonga (I- Newswire) July 25, 2012 - As soon as you walk through the doors, you are immediately transported into the rich culture of India. From the various arts, to the music, and let's not forget the cuisine! Koyla Charcoal Indian Cuisine Restaurant gives you a quintessentially rustic ambiance, the whiff of tandoori fare,and Bollywood Videos gives Koyla a truly exotic and inimitable touch. Created by entrepreneur Deep Singh, this restaurant offers northern frontier cuisine amidst a mesmeric bucolic environment, which is truly relaxing and unique. The dĂŠcor is simple yet elegant. Although contemporary in its style and presentation, the restaurant's seating, gives diners a feel of the traditional Indian style of eating. Cozy seating and subdued lighting with light music in the background creates a buoyant, relaxed and serene dining experience. The Open Kitchen, a specialty of the restaurant, enables the guests to observe the chefs rustle up an exquisite tandoori spread making dining at Koyla interactive, gratifying and unforgettable. Koyla specializes in Halal Food, Jain Food, Northern Indian, Southern Food, Vegan, Mughlai Food as well as Hyderabadi food True to its name Koyla, which means coal, is patiently cooked over charcoal by chefs, which exudes the aroma of cinnamon and cloves, a hint of garlic and the whisper of saffron. Only then is cuisine served. The menu at Koyla boasts an extensive selection of Lamb Lion Chops, Chicken Tikka Masalas, like Murg Malai Kebab (chicken cubes marinated in Yoghurt and mild Indian spices and Roasted), Achari Panner (Cottage Cheese pickled in Indian herbs and spices), Hara Bhara Chicken i (Boneless chicken marinated in traditional Indian style with fresh Spanish, Mint, and Cilantro), Goan Shrimp ( Jumbo Shrimps sauteed with freshly ground spices and Coconut and cooked on low flame.), Murg Tikka (chicken mosels simmered in a light tomato sauce and spices and grilled in Tandoor over charcoal.) amongst others.

To an outsider, Indian cooking can be overwhelming, akin to a jigsaw puzzle incapable of solution. The reason is simple: not until long ago, there was no recorded text for Indian Cuisine. Recipes were handed from generation to generations, by virtue of oral tradition. As a consequence, each recipe is open to interpretation and there is no standard recipe to work from. Moreover, Indian cuisine varies from region to region, and the tastes, colors, and textures of the same delicacy can change every few miles. At Koyla, interpretation of the recipes were handed down through the roots of the chef's family and perfected in kitchen of the restaurant. Koyla's belief is that Indian cooking is based on three major factors: choice of ingredients, their proportions and quantities and most importantly, the timing of adding ingredients during cooking. Deep Singh, after having worked for more than a decade watching chefs create countless creations, and experimenting himself to further tweak those recipes, he decided to create his own, Koyla Charcoal Authentic Indian Restaurant was born. Till this day, Deep Singh, his staff and Koyla Charcoal Authentic Indian Cuisine Restaurant has and will remain close to their roots of Indian. Constantly making improvements to the menu and the restaurant, experimenting & sampling many dishes are a norm before graduating to the their guest. Koyla believes in innovation as a method for excellence and invite you to join us on this culinary journey.

Located just outside of downtown Greenville, Timmons Park features an 18-hole course that has earned rave reviews from both experienced and newbie players. Short and tight with elevation on 10 holes and fast pin placements on hillsides, the challenging layout presents plenty of opportunity for aces without giving them away.
Make a note: this popular course places a premium on accuracy. If you're just out to throw the disc around, you'll end up adding lots of strokes to your score. And with both wooded and open sections, you'll need to know how to throw a variety of shots.
Only a handful of holes lie on flat terrain. Most are uphill or downhill with a few pins placed on hillsides, making for some interesting shots. Although the fairways are well-trimmed, you'll find some narrow throwing lines between trees. On some of the longer holes, trees seem to be strategically placed to prevent you from chucking straight bombs to the basket.
The trees aren't the only natural hazards that will keep you on your toes. A creek comes into play on holes 2, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11. The water isn't all that deep, so you don't need to don your waders to fetch wayward-flying discs.
With all its challenges, Timmons Park is a great course for beginners, too. Many of the holes are short. The layout also provides novice players with the chance to work on their finesse and touch shots.
And what a beautiful setting to spend an afternoon. Mature trees shade the majority of the holes. Nine of the DISCatcher baskets run along the babbling brook. There's almost always someone playing on the course, so if you come alone, it's easy to pick up a friendly game.
The 26.6-acre park, at 121 Oxford St., also features a lighted baseball field, two lighted tennis courts, playground, picnic shelter and mountain biking trial.

The great Man ray in two cool sites: Man Ray Trust and Man
Ray official digital photographic library. The first more stuff about him to buy. The second site hundreds of photos and other works or Man Ray. Interesting sites for people that like cinema, art, photography or beautiful images. (via Quando, Onde e Como)
If you don't know his surrealistic work in cinema I suggest three short movies that I saw: Le Retour à la raison, Emak-Bakia and L'Étoile de mer. And more links about Man Ray: American Masters – Man Ray; Man Ray on Getty Museum and Man Ray by Wikipedia.
Update: Sean from Bitter Cinema found a wonderful site where you can watch the Man Ray short movies Emak Bakia, Le Retour à la raison and L'Étoile de mer.

Home Scouting Mobile App - this portion of HBM allows a REALTOR® to easily capture the interest of any consumer they meet anywhere - supermarket, open house etc. The REALTOR® (and you) are personally branded to the consumer every time they use Home Scouting looking for their dream home. Best of all it is provided at no cost to the REALTOR®.
Home Sold Report - the biggest burning need of every REALTOR® in today's market is LISTINGS. The Home Sold Report allows a REALTOR® (and you) to be in front of their past clients every single month with information that is super valuable to the client.

Discussion in 'Motorhome Chat' started by Mart grump, Dec 9, 2012.
We will be driving straight down to marjal which is the best route
Where from ?
But head towards Bordeaux.
And ask Google Maps, can't go wrong with that.
From Folkestone is that route motorway
The route south
Roughly, this is the route we take in the winter with intention of hitting Spain on the Med coast, then stick with it down to Marjal site. If you're in a hurry you will probably want to use the motorway but if you got the time the main roads run generally parallel with the motorways and are nearly as quick.
Rouen (good luck)
Brive la G.
On to Spain
Have a good trip
If you use Google Maps there is an option box you can tick to go non-toll. I've just been using it to plot Caen --> Benidorm and the non-toll is shorter, but slower of course.
If you want to influence the route, you just add in places to steer it the way you want to go. But so far it's never given a route that is not very acceptable.
I am planning Caen->Bordeaux, Bordeaux->Zaragosa,Zaragosa->Benidorm.
In Winter I always prefer the Western route..
N10 all the way to Bordeaux
Then still on N10 to Bayonne and Spanish border at Irun.
Down to Pamplona
Alicante by either coast or inland roads.
Can all be done none toll and plenty of stopovers on the route.:thumb:
Keep water topped up as many aires will have water taps turned off.
best route to spain
Hi,The best route this time of year is as tonka has already posted, if this is your first trip keep an eye on the weather at the border as this can be covered in snow,i am not trying to put you off they do clear it very quickly as they are used to it,but this route is possibly the best one in winter,have a good trip,regards H.
tonka has shown the best route ed's route is ok as well but takes longer
as far as michelin says the diff apart from price in tolls and non tolls is around 5 hours
when are you going and what marjal you heading to
What we found really odd this year was we took 3 days to get down to Zahora, ( using a couple of tolls only ) but 2 and a 1/2 days to get back not using any tolls at all
No idea why it was quicker coming back but it def was !
Google earth is very good,but,you do have to be online.
We were given Autoroute 2010 by a Funster at Marjal That works without being online and is also brilliant.
I think I would buy it if I hadn't got it for nowt.
That's our return route but never fancied risking the Spanish mountains in January. Perhaps we'll have to try it. Had enough trouble trailing snow ploughs in northern France previously.
Must say, the western route through France and over the mountains in Spain would be our first choice if we were more sure of reasonable weather.
I have done this route in the van several times, usually November or early March. When the weather is reasonable we usually turn before Bayonne and go via the Somport tunnel into Huesca and then onto Zaragossa BUT you have to be up to date on the weather and I think on certain dates snow chains must be carried :Blush:
However the road past Bayonne is a good duel carriageway / motorway. Worth paying the toll at this section and with so many trucks along that route I am sure they will keep it open.:thumb: Would have I think to be real bad to bring you to a stop...
The route via Barcelona can catch you out, I have seen snow there, so no route is perfect if the weather wants it's own way. Used to use the route via the centre of France and then down the coast but now prefer the Western route, good roads and plenty of stop over places if you need them..
TIP. !!! Always fuel up before Bordeaux, once you hit the stretch between Bordeaux and Bayonne they hike up the prices. I came back 2 days ago in the car, N10 between Angloume and Bordeaux around €1.36 but once your on that stretch below Bordeaux it's gonna cost you €1.50 +!!
Another convert.
As Mike has said you do have to be on line, I do have Autoroute and often compare the two, there's never anything in it. Google is of course bang up to date, well more than Autoroute and has the lovely drag and drop feature if you want a small tweak in the route.
Then you switch to street view and see exactly what your campsite turning looks like, essential for places like the aire/site in Metz which is pretty tricky.
i use Michelin for both the tolls and non toll route i then make a note of the way it guides you and a note of the roads and where to head for then i sat nav it but mainly because i have the road numbers i normally do it the old fashion way by looking for the signs
When were you last there Brian ? this Oct we approached it from east and there were major road works -our Garmin never put a foot wrong after we coudn't take the first route she offered because of the road works.When we eventually got there the water was off and there were 2 vans with er 'itinerant workers' in permanent residence.
We stayed one night only instead of 3 as planned.
18 months ago. Just a one night stopover on the way to Italy.
That long since we've been to Italy, very bad.
we always use the michelin route finder as it calculates tolls as well as time so we can decide if its worth taking tolls

Review for Perry's Automotive Sales & Service
Monique R. on 03/21/2013
"Allison is awesome but it is nice that the boss will step in to talk to you about any questions."
Vehicle repair is costly everywhere. Perry's explains all the charges and I feel if there is something they can do to keep the price down they will, without jeapordizing the vehicle. We have three vehicles that go there.

Bougherra back for Euro clash
Madjid Bougherra is back in contention to face Unirea Urziceni after he was omitted from Rangers' squad on Saturday.
Last Updated: 19/10/09 9:39am
Walter Smith has confirmed Madjid Bougherra is back in contention to face Unirea Urziceni after he was omitted from Rangers' squad that faced St Johnstone.
The French-born Algerian defender was left out of Gers' weekend win against the Saints for returning late to Glasgow after international duty.
Smith has accepted Bougherra's reasons for being late and confirmed that he is available to face Unirea in their crucial UEFA Champions League clash at Ibrox.
The case is now closed according to Smith, who admits the club had been informed that the 27-year-old had his passport stolen returning to Glasgow.
"Madjid has explained the circumstances which led him to be late back from international duty and I accept what he's had to say," explained Smith.
"Initially, I was led to believe his belongings were stolen on Monday, but it turns out that happened on Thursday.
"In fairness, his agent contacted Ally McCoist and told him of the situation. Having now spoken to Madjid, there's no problem.
"That is the matter closed now."
Lost documents
Bougherra insists he was not punished by the club and that missing training on Friday was the reason behind his weekend omission.
"I had to be in Glasgow on Friday morning, but on the way home, I lost my passport, phone and money in Paris," he said. "I asked my agent to let the club know while I was dealing with the problems regarding my papers.
"I finally arrived back in Glasgow on Friday night and Walter Smith decided not to play me because I'd not trained on the eve of the match. But he has not punished me.
"I am here at Rangers, I want to stay here and I do not see why I would go to war with the club or deliberately try to cause such trouble."

About Us
The Sanskrit root word of Yoga, "yuj" (which means "unity" or "yoke"), indicates that the ultimate purpose of yoga is to unite ourselves with our highest nature and universal consciousness.
At Yoga Seeds, we love being out close to nature and specialise in holding classes, workshops, events & retreats for all-levels. We embrace the nurturing conditions that mother nature offers to help us reconnect with ourselves, hence we are always on the go to find new hideaway destinations to unroll our mats.
From restorative & meditative quiet retreats, to fun outdoor events and team building workshops, we aim to create strength, awareness and harmony in both the mind and body. We hold firm beliefs in building strong fundamentals while aiming to make yoga practice fun and relevant to our daily lives.
Also, as big fans of Karma Yoga, we love being involved in charity or cause-worthy initiatives to give back to the community & the underprivileged as much as we can.
Join us on this exploratory yogic journey to maintain a healthy, balanced life with a calm, peaceful mind and an open heart, the fun way!
Our Instructors
Dedicated, Passionate, Energetic and Fun, Yoga Seeds instructors are registered with Yoga Alliance and fully qualified to share yoga with you.
Wendy Chan
Director / Principal Yoga Instructor
Wendy's background and interest in eastern and western philosophy led her to explore and study the workings of the mind, body and subtle energies of the universe. After exploring the philosophies and meditative practices from several traditions, she found her peace in Zen meditation and yoga. This led her to realize her true calling: to teach and share what she has learnt about yoga and meditation. Having diverse trainings in yoga and meditation in different traditions, Wendy seeks a balanced and complete view of one's practice and spiritual development.
Founder and director of Yoga Seeds, Wendy (ERYT 500) hosts regular yoga retreats in locations all over Asia. She is the lead trainer and program director for Yoga Seeds 200hr Teaching Training course. Wendy also teaches anatomy with international yoga school All Yoga in Thailand and Bali. When she's not travelling, she's back home in Singapore, teaching in various settings, including corporate yoga classes, yoga for children, private yoga sessions, regular studio sessions and also community classes for the underprivileged. In fact, she teaches anywhere that she can unroll her mat! As an ambassador for Yoga Gives Back, she organizes regular fundraisers and classes for charity and is deeply committed to giving back to the community. Her style of yoga is a unique blend of Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, with emphasis on the breath in both movement and stillness.
Dawn Wong
Yoga Instructor / Retreat leader
As a former accountant, being on the yoga mat after a long day at work became Dawn's quick-fix for stress relief. Having practised for more than 6 years, she is constantly inspired by the amazing benefits of yoga. Other than improved flexibility and strength, yoga has brought overall body and mental wellness to many others and herself. She wishes to share this wonderful experience with others, especially the busy urban dweller who may find it a challenge making time to exercise. She strongly recommends a little bit of yoga to melt away any body tension and bring some calmness to your mind!
Dawn believes it is most important to have a fun and safe practice, and encourages students not to be too hard on themselves on the mat. Her teaching emphasises proper alignment to build a strong foundation. She feels extremely blessed to have found yoga which she truly enjoys, and to have the opportunity to share it with others.
Jasmine Yeo
Yoga Instructor / Retreat leader
Jasmine's first yoga class happened in late 2010 where she was facing immense stress and unsuccessful coping strategies in the highly demanding job position as a perioperative nurse. The consistent practice in yoga allowed her to cope better with fragmentary working hours and varying sleeping patterns and timings. It has made her stronger and more flexible both on and off the mat. In the last 3 years, she was inspired further to deepen her practice in yoga and would like people around her to benefit from the beauty of yoga. This has encouraged her to take up the 200Hr Yoga Teacher Training course.
Jasmine wants to motivate people in getting connected to their inner self and explore their mental and physical capabilities through their consistent yoga practice. She also looks forward to helping students cope with their daily lifestyle at work or at home through the power of pranayama, meditation and asanas practice.
Jasmine is now a 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Hatha and Ashtanga certified Yoga instructor. Beginning with limited flexibility and stamina, Jasmine understands the helplessness and frustrations students have when they start out their yoga journey.
As she strongly believes and live by what Confucious once said "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop".
Joanne Ang
Yoga Instructor / Retreat Leader
Joanne started her yoga practice only as a form of workout as she was leading a rather sedentary lifestyle. She suffered from poor health which resulted from depression due to work and low immunity as well as a hereditary blood disorder. Being a biology teacher in her teaching years and a dancer during her school days, she naturally grew attracted to yoga and found it to be more than just a workout. It became a lifestyle for her.
With consistent yoga practice, her health improved tremendously. Having healthier mind, body and soul, Joanne now has the energy she needs to do the things she love - travel, teach, cook and yoga!
As she learnt more about the roots of yoga, she became inspired to deepen her practice and hopes to share how yoga had greatly improved, and is still improving, her life. Now, she enjoys teaching yoga, and more so, as she continues her yoga practice as a student.
Gwen Teo
Yoga Instructor / Retreat Assistant Leader
Gwen has always had an active lifestyle, even when she had to juggle motherhood, full-time work and cope with the challenges of a modern woman. She worked hard for more than a decade in the fast-paced and stressful travel industry, before moving on to the health and wellness sector, managing a physio clinic for 5 years. An avid runner, she turned to running as a way to de-stress and keep healthy. However, upon sustaining injuries from her running, she realised she needed a more balanced approach to health and fitness. Her first yoga experience convinced her that yoga is what she needed to achieve that balance, to be healthy both inside and out.
An avid marathon runner and mountain trekker for more than years, Gwen took to practicing yoga on and off to complement her running and fitness regime. Finally, she decided to take on a yoga teacher training to deepen her understanding and be able to share yoga to the people around her. With her exposure in the physio clinic, she has seen first-hand how proper conditioning through yoga is able to help people with common joint pains and hopes she can do the same through teaching yoga. She believes that yoga can help everyone achieve good physical and mental health.
Gwen teaches basic Hatha classes with emphasis on building strength and flexibility, cultivating a calm body and mind, both on and off the mat.
Melody Tan
Yoga Instructor
Melody's yoga journey started ten years ago when she was invited by her friend to try out Hatha yoga at the community centre near to her house. She was pleasantly surprised to see that yoga is not just stretching, but the practice includes various types of pranayama and meditation to work on the well-being of the mind. She started to engage in yoga as a way to complement her fitness regimes.
During times of grief and sadness, she tried out simple pranayama and meditation and this benefited her mentally and spiritually. Her yoga practice taught her to embrace imperfection when it comes to challenging postures, reminding her to be patient and never to give up.
To deepen her knowledge about yoga, she decided to take 200hr yoga teacher training in 2015 so that she can share yoga with people to help them. She practices karma yoga by being involved in charity activities. What yoga has taught her: It isn't about flexibility and looking cool, it's about being yourself on your own mat, connecting your breathing, letting go of ego, focusing on your practice and getting closer to experience inner self.
Melody believes we should always practice with a beginner's mind, and learning and practicing yoga is a lifelong journey for her.

Web Site Connects Students With Affordable Colleges
February 22, 2000
College consultant Ted Kelly of Falls Church, Virginia, has developed an innovative Website that puts students of limited financial means in touch with colleges they can afford. Called eCollegebid.org, it works this way:
- High school seniors approaching graduation access the site and submit profiles, including grade-point averages and SAT scores -- along with an indication of how much they are willing to pay for a college education.
- A computer matches them up with member schools and the schools contact the student -- who then goes forward with the application process, already knowing the cost.
- There is no charge to students and colleges pay $2,000 for membership.
- Since the site has only been in operation since October, only 15 schools are members so far -- but it has assisted more than 1,000 students.
Critics contend that there is a lot more at stake than money when a student sets out to select a college. But defenders of the system point out that ready access to a college's financial requirements can't be all bad.
