In a survey conducted by Political Economic Risk and Consultancy (PERC), the Philippines ranked the 4th most corrupt nation in the Asia Pacific next to Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Out of a total score of 10, zero being the best score, and ten showing the nation to have the most corrupt officials and public servants, the Philippines scored a (8.06). Gloria Macapagal Arroyo attributed the cause to the "Filipino culture and mudslinging".
Beyond politicians trading verbal jabs at each other, there is a serious history of graft and corruption in the Philippines. Just because GMA allocates a certain number of money to fight graft, doesn't mean graft will be lowered. In 2005, GMA was caught selling off votes and changing the votes in the presidential election. The fact that congress wasn't acting on her illegal action was mostly due to her political allies siding with her at the time, some of them having been bought off.
GMA is right, a new culture needs to be ensure…. one of accountability to the people. A new system needs to be in place where checks and balances are realized and the peoples needs are addressed and not pushed over for corporate money.
From Jovito Palparan, an officer who rose to the ranks of general with his brutal operations in mindoro to General Victor Ibrado and now Delfin Bangit who will now carry on the structure of a corrupt military. Palparan has earned the nick name the "Butcher" for the hundreds that were abducted, tortured, and killed.
Many progressive students that have fought against the tuition fee increase, and for a better education free of privatization have connected the student struggles to the workers and peasants. These students have been called trouble makers by the Armed Forces. There fear of Palparan is legitimate after the aduction, rape, torture and murder of 2 female student activist, Karen Empeno and Sheryln Cadapan. At night, when students have to walk alone, they tease each other to be careful otherwise "uncle palpy" will get you.
Someone should warn Bangit that history will not be kind to those who are butchers.
In 2007 alone, more than 133 military violations occurred under the command of then Lt. gen Victor Ibrado. What will the legacy of Bangit be? His connections to the GMA has always been close since the Estrada administration and has been incharge of presidential security ever since.
Platoon Neutralized
The Armed Forces of the Philippines had encountered a problem in Mindoro. The New People's Army (NPA)had neutralized soldiers that had almost made up the size of one platoon. The armies orders was to carry out Oplan Bantay Laya II (OBL II) to wipe out the communist insurgency around the country by 2010. The army however, has been indiscriminately targeting teachers, lawyers, journalists, women, students, workers and peasants. OBL II has seen the rise of civilians and mass activists abducted, tortured, missing, and murdered through frustrated efforts to eliminate the communists and their armed wing, the NPA, in the country. This tactic however has draw backs to the military. It doesn't accomplish the goal that OBL II set out to do but instead turn the peoples wrath against the military.

Micro-goals is Colm O'Regan's new word. Or sort of a word.
'They' are talking more about it these days. If you Google "microgoals", it pops up a lot in articles about wellness. But don't let that put you off. It's just a simple breaking down of big goals into small steps that are achievable. We're talking about common-sense wellness here. Not Gwyneth Paltrow 'shove-bauxite-up-your-hoop' kind of thing.
It's presumably aimed at people with long-term goals in life, five-year plans and the like. I gave all that kind of thing up a long time ago. There was too much disappointment. I write my five-year plans at the end of the five years and, like a government rating itself, I've pretty much achieved all of my targets.
But I do need micro-goals. Take the simple task of tidying up.

Delivering Self-Service Analytics and Discovery from your Data Lake
As corporations augment their corporate data warehouses and data marts with cloud data lakes in order to support new big data requirements, the question about how to grant governed access to those data lakes becomes more pressing. Certainly, capturing new and different types of data is important but deriving value from those datasets remains the ultimate goal.
Whether or not the data lake consumers write SQL or leverage 3rd party BI and visualization tools, what matters is that they can continue to be productive using the skills and tools they already know. The difference is that now those tools and skills should be used with back-end engines that can can help them quickly sift through petabytes of data and at the same time provide support for fast interactive queries.
This means that in order for those data lake investments to succeed it is important for data admins to provide: SQL access to all authorized data, support for BI tools, cross-team collaboration capabilities, and governed self-service.
In this webinar we will cover:
- Data collaboration and access using SQL
- Tools that enable fast self-service for different teams
- Considerations for choosing the right SQL back-end for your use case

Keeping Costs Under Control When Processing Big Data in the Cloud
Nov 13 2018
48 mins
Amit Duvedi and Balaji Mohanam, Qubole
The biggest mistake businesses make when spending on data processing services in the cloud is in assuming that cloud will lower their overall cost. While the cloud has the potential to offer better economics both in the short and long-term, the bursty nature of big data processing requires following cloud engineering best practices, such as upscaling and downscaling infrastructure and leveraging the spot market for best pricing, to realize such economics.
Businesses also fail to appreciate the potential of runaway costs in a 100% variable cost environment, something they rarely have to worry about in a fixed cost on-premise environment. In the absence of financial governance, companies leave themselves vulnerable to cost overruns where even a single rogue query can result in tens of thousands of dollars in unbudgeted spend.
In this webinar you'll learn how to:
- Identify areas of cost optimization to drive maximum performance for the lowest TCO
- Monitor total costs at the application, user, and account level
- Provide admins the ability to control and design the infrastructure spend
- Automatically optimize clusters for lower infrastructure spend based on custom-defined parameters

Deep Learning with TensorFlow on Qubole
Sep 4 2018
43 mins
Piero Cinquegrana, Sr. Data Science Product Manager, Qubole
Deep learning works on large volumes of unstructured data such as human speech, text, and images to enable powerful use cases such as speech-to-text transcription, voice identification, image classification, facial or object recognition, analysis of sentiment or intent from text, and many more. In the last few years, TensorFlow has become a very popular deep learning framework for image recognition and speech detection use cases.
All deep learning methods, including TensorFlow, require large volumes of data to train the model. Today, the most significant challenge in deep learning is the ever-increasing training time — as models get more complicated, the size of training data continues to increase. In order to address this challenge, cloud providers have launched instance types with many graphics processing units (GPUs) in a single node. However, using all of the GPUs in a single training job is not trivial. Qubole's TensorFlow engine has been built to run on distributed Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) on Amazon Web Services.
In this webinar we will:
- Discuss how Qubole has achieved single-node, multi-GPU parallelization using native Tensorflow and Keras with Tensorflow as a backend.
- Present results from our studies that show how training time varies with the number of GPUs in the cluster.
- Run through a demo of a TensorFlow use case on Qubole.

Speed to Value: How To Justify Your Big Data Investments
Aug 15 2018
55 mins
Amit Duvedi, VP of Business Value Engineering, Qubole
Every investment in big data, whether people or technology, should be measured by how quickly it generates value for the business. While big data uses cases may vary, the need to prioritize investments, control costs and measure impact is universal.
Like most CTOs, CIOs, VPs or Directors overseeing big data projects, you're likely somewhere in between putting out fires and demonstrating how your big data projects are driving growth. If your focus, for example, is improving your users' experience you need to be able to demonstrate a clear ROI in the form of higher customer retention or lifetime value.
However, in addition to driving growth, you're also responsible for managing costs. Here's the rub-- if you're successful in driving growth, your big data costs will only go up. That's the consequence of successful big data use cases. How then, when you have success, do you limit and manage rising cloud costs?
In this webinar, you'll learn:
- How to measure business value from big data use cases
- Typical bottlenecks that delay time to value and ways to address them
- Strategies for managing rising cloud and people costs
- How best-in-class companies are generating value from big data use cases while also managing their costs

Moving Big Data To The Cloud? Here's Why You Need A Cloud-Native Data Platform
Jul 27 2018
29 mins
Matheen Raza and Kevin Blaisdell from Qubole
Cloud service models have become the new norm for enterprise deployments in almost every category — and big data is no exception. As the volume, variety, and velocity of data increase exponentially, the cloud offers a more efficient and cost-effective option for managing the unpredictable and bursty workloads associated with big data compared to traditional on-premises data centers.
Organizations looking to scale their big data projects and implement a data-driven business culture can do so with greater ease on the cloud. However, adopting a cloud deployment model requires a cloud-first re-architecture and a platform approach rather than a simple lift and shift of data applications and pipelines.
A cloud-native data platform like Qubole helps organizations save on average 50 percent in total cost of ownership. Intelligent automation of cluster management tasks allows data teams to focus on business outcomes, thereby greatly improving SLAs and the end-user experience.
Join experts from Qubole as they discuss how to activate your big data and get the most out of open source technologies on the cloud. In this webinar, you'll learn:
- How big data projects benefit from a cloud-native data platform
- How intelligent cluster management can help you save in total cost of ownership
- About companies that successfully transitioned their big data to the cloud

It could easily have slipped to the background in the wake of India's massive victory in the fourth Royal London ODI match at Edgbaston in Birmingham but left-handed Shikhar Dhawan drew attention to a beautiful aspect of the stand by making it a point to pay his opening partner Ajinkya Rahane a genuine compliment.
"He was in great flow from the start and hitting boundaries. It released pressure off me and I could take my time to get into a flow. We both enjoy each other's batting. It was fabulous to watch him make a hundred," Dhawan said, not hesitating to give credit due to his fellow opener, though nobody would have notice had he chosen to ignore that.
Indeed, sometime in the future, when Dhawan sits back to ruminate on turning points in his career, it is possible that he will put his finger on his rollicking 183-run opening stand with Rahane at Edgbaston as a decisive moment in his nascent international career. Rahane not only notched up his maiden century in ODIs but also helped unshackle some demons for Dhawan.
Typically, opening batsmen like Virender Sehwag and Dhawan are known to take the pressure off other batsmen by scoring quickly at the start but the left-hander appeared stranded at a cross-roads with a dismal run over the past two months when his technique and mental strength came under the scanner.
In fact, for someone who made just 149 runs in eight international innings on the tour of England, Dhawan was on a shaky ground but Rohit Sharma's broken finger meant that India persisted with the left-handed opener. Yet, he could have been riddled with self-doubts, especially after failing in successive ODIs in Cardiff and Nottingham.
He needed to stay long enough to benefit from someone taking on pressure. Rahane took the onus of scoring briskly in the first few overs and relieved Dhawan, giving the left-hander time to find his wanton touch. And though he had picked up a couple of boundaries off Harry Gurney, it was not until Chris Woakes' first over that Dhawan came into his own.
As he grew in confidence, Dhawan showed glimpses of the batsman who had gone missing during the tour. The four sixes that he hit in making an unbeaten 97 were testimony to the power that he can generate. The flurry with which he finished the game, scoring 28 of the 29 runs in Virat Kohli's company was typical Dhawan – and a tribute to Rahane's contribution.
At the end of the game, Dhawan was quick to acknowledge how Rahane had helped take a load off his shoulders. It was a delight to hear the Delhiite and the Mumbaikar wax eloquent about enjoying the other's batting. There was respect and admiration in their voices as Dhawan and Rahane spoke about the partnership and one another.
It was the second time in two games that players were brazenly expressing admiration for team-mates. After Suresh Raina lunged to his right at slip to pick up a smart, low catch to dismiss Ben Stokes at Trent Bridge, off-spinner R Ashwin spoke glowingly about that effort and how it made him forget that he himself had claimed a wicket when celebrating the catch.
This can only augur well for India's ODI team as it gears itself up to retain the ICC Cricket World Cup that the class of 2011 won at home. It can counter-balance some of the negatives that are apparent, especially when it comes to picking reserves who can push the frontliners hard enough. This camaraderie and synergy can be fantastic fuel indeed.

North West Vs Penelope Disick: Leather Jacket Or Blazer
It's the battle of the tutus. North West and her adorable cousin Penelope Disick kicked their ballet style up a notch on their recent dance class visit. Now, the question is — who rocked their ensemble better? We couldn't pick, can you?
North West, 23 months, and Penelope Disick, 2, are the cutest cousin duo. The two sweeties stepped out to attend their ballet class with their moms Kourtney and Kim Kardashian on May 21. Both little girls were rocking their own unique style and we just can't get enough of either!
North West Vs Penelope Disick: Leather Jacket Or Blazer
When it comes to dance class, North and Penelope always come prepared. These two tykes put Black Swan to shame! Let's break down these two adorable looks.
Penelope loves to rock a pink tutu when she heads to her dance classes. This time, she just so happens to be wearing her family's Kardashian Kids collection.
Penelope was spotted in the Kardashian Kids Knit Shirt with Flutter Sleeves ($24.99) and fanciful Woven Skirt ($24.99). If you are in love with this adorable ensemble as much as we are, it's available now online at babiesrus.com/kkids. We suggest getting them quickly before their sold out!
North West & Penelope Disick Get Adorable Minnie Mouse Makeover
The middle Disick child also put her own spin on the classic ballet look by adding a Appaman Tuxedo Jacket. Seriously, could she be any more stylish?
North Opts For A Stylish Motorcycle Jacket
As for North, she was all about rocking black from head to toe — per usual. She just loves her go-to black tutu and leotard.
Nori made sure not to forget her black tap shoes even though she had on ballerina slippers, and carried them herself into class. As for her jacket, baby West had on an insanely stylish black leather motorcycle jacket.
Both girls had matching ballet slippers, which look very similar to the baby flats by Linge Shoes — you can find them here!
Hands down this is one of the hardest mashups to pick from, we don't know who rocked their tutu better. But one thing is for sure, these two girls are following in their stylish parents footsteps!
HollywoodLifers — do you think North and Penelope have the cutest baby styles in Hollywood? Let us know your thoughts below!

Familiar vs the Unknown – Why Staycations Aren't So Bad
Brits not going to new destinations for vacation is becoming quite a common occurrence. Actually, staycations are quite popular all around the world. In case you're unfamiliar with the term, 'staycation' refers to a vacation in your home country instead of travelling abroad or staying at home and taking day trips to local attractions. There are many good reasons to travel in your own country opposed to travelling to foreign countries. When it comes to the familiar vs the unknown, staying close to home means you can seek out the cultural tastes, celebrations and features your country is known for and which you enjoy. Since the travel to far-off countries hasn't gobbled up all of your time and money, you'll benefit from a more luxurious, exciting vacation which will actually be longer and filled with more things to see and do. Exploring the familiar vs the unknown doesn't have to be a second-best option. Thousands of tourists visit the UK throughout the year, so why not check-out some of the unknown gems in your own backyard? You'll be surprised how little it will cost you for a whole lot of fun and adventure, all while basking in the beauty and splendour of home.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people and Bow to none.
When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, The fault lies only in yourself.
Abuse no one and nothing, For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. –Tecumseh
All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is viciously opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. –Arthur Schopenhauer
So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view,
and Demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, Beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and Its purpose in the service of your people. –Tecumseh
Study what thou art,
whereof thou art a part.
For what thou knowest of this art,
this is really what thou art.
Whatever is without thee, also is within. –Trismosin
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us;
what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. –Albert Pike
To fear death, gentlemen, is none other than to think oneself wise when one is not,
to think one knows what one does not know.
No one knows whether death may not be the greatest of all blessings for a man,
yet men fear it as if they knew that it is the greatest of evils.
And surely it is the most blameworthy ignorance to believe that one knows what one does not know. –Socrates
Live free or die, for death is not the greatest of evils. –Revolutionary War General John Stark
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts Are filled with fear of death,
so that when their time comes They weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again In a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. –Tecumseh

We have our flights and hotel booked, and we have out itinerary of daily locations and events outlined. The only thing left to do is purchase any advanced ticket items that we may wish to book specific times for on any specific dates.
Certain items will have specific days and times; but, at the same time, I don't want to so schedule things so rigidly that we have no time to explore or actually enjoy our time there. So no more than one major location will be scheduled for each of the 5 full days that we are there that week. If we have extra time in each day, to fit other locations and sights around our main list locations, then we can decide what and how much of those to do at that time.
Next Weekend is Karen's actual birthday weekend, but Jack and I will be gone most of the weekend on a Boy Scout Camping trip. Karen and Delaney also have a Girl Scout outing for that Saturday as well. It's Karen's 44th (Farty Farth) birthday.
Next weekend's activities work out just fine anyhow.
I've got plans in the works for Karen and I to spend a special evening with the Kids on Friday the 26th; before we head off for an entire week away from them. We will all celebrate Mommy's birthday together; and if we have enough time, we might even catch a later (9 or 10 PM) movie together after dinner.
That night is going to be really cool. But I'm not going into details here just in case the person that claims they never read my journal might decide to do so within the next two weeks. The date is reserved on our wall calendar, so it's not any super secret surprise that we are doing something that night..... But I've got some neat little things in the works that will make it really neat.
LOVE YOU, Bubbie Bee!
then, we will have all day Saturday to spend with the kids, finish any packing that we might still need to do, and rest up before our trip the next afternoon.
So Excited!!!!!!!!

Matthew Szösz and Michael Petry exhibit exquisite glass sculptures in our sister gallery, form & concept. Szösz recently debuted the solo exhibition Minimal Tension, featuring new works from his ongoing series Inflatables and Ropework. The artist calls some of his experiments "material/process investigations" and others "bad ideas." Either way, the key is to set up novel conditions in the studio, shifting heat, humidity and other variables to see how the glass responds. It's a winding process—part scientific, part artistic—that has yielded significant treasures
Works from Petry's installation piece Joshua D's Wall are currently on display at form & concept. Originally installed in the Palm Springs Art Museum, the work featured a field of 250 hand-blown glass stones that are scattered over the museum floor. Joshua D's Wall alludes to the Biblical story of Joshua and the crumbling walls of Jericho. Resembling small boulders, these glass stones evoke the earth's magma and the many colors found therein, as well as Petry's own artistic impression of the natural environment. An installation view of these works appeared in the Wall Street Journal's guide to Santa Fe this spring.

Big data is great -- but what if it's wrong? A shift toward too much automation in programmatic buying prompted Casale Media to re-ink its agreement with IgnitionOne to maintain a more personal touch with publisher relationships and monitor the data more closely.
Let the automation support basic steps that consume most of the marketer's time, but allow buyers and sellers to form personal bonds, said Andrew Casale, VP of strategy at Casale Media. A robot will buy media based on data, but if American Airlines gets the chance to buy an ad on Expedia versus some random site, they will. A robot might not have enough information to make that call.
"Approach big data with caution, and monitor consistent patterns of events before trusting it," Casale said. "Did the event happen once last week or 1,000 times consecutively during the past few months? Just because it happened once it doesn't mean the process will repeat in the same way."
Casale Media's Index platform allows IgnitionOne to strike direct deals with publishers, carrying out transactions through real-time bidding. IgnitionOne's data management system capabilities are brought together by technology that tracks user-level behavior and interests to deliver the right message.
Results yielded from the Casale partnership gave IgnitionOne 300% quarter-over-quarter growth in spend by being able to identify and maintain new relationships with publishers in the RTB space. Overall, CPMs post 50% higher than the market average, showcasing that its algorithm seeks out value rather than simply aiming to race prices to the bottom.

After being killed, it is worthwhile to wonder if the Money multiplier deserves a second chance.
I think it does.
So gather round the Dragon Balls because the Money Multiplier is going to be resurrected.
First things first. Why did the multiplier died, again?
Banks don't need Reserves to make Loans! Loans create Deposits!
So, do Central Banks supply whatever the amount of reserves Commercial Banks need (to comply with legal requirements, to settle payments or to face cash withdraws) ?
Yes and no.
Yes, in the short run they do. They normally establish a interest rate target, so if they don't comply with quantity demanded of reserves by Commercial Banks, it would lead to financial havoc as interest rates diverge from their targets.
No, Central Banks have a goal for inflation (or NGDP or …) so they must adjust their intermediate target for interest rates in a way they can achieve their ultimate goal.
So, it's true to say both Reserves and Interest Rates are endogenous, a trustworthy central bank will only set its ultimate goal as exogenous.
Even though a Commercial Bank is not (usually) reserve constrained, as it can look for reserves in the inter-bank market, or can go to the Central Bank (either by discount or overdraft), it faces uncertainty towards the future.
Uncertainty about the "loyalness" of its depositors, uncertainty about the demand for cash, uncertainty about the demand for non-bank assets. A bank must face the uncertainty of its "usual business" liability side (Deposits) with both the "unconventional" liability side (Central Bank lending) and the liquidity of its Asset side of the balance sheet.
Banks face restrictions. They don't possess a widow's cruse.
The Central Bank creates some of those restrictions. The competition among financial assets create some of those restrictions. The Economy creates some of those restrictions.
My goal is to combine the three theories of banking in a unified one (credit creation theory, Money multiplier, financial intermediary). I believe they must be all the same.
Those 3 theories can be matched with the 3 restrictions stated above. The 3 theories are all different angles of the same reality.
Banks create Money through credit. Yes.
The Central Bank influences the credit creation by supplying Reserves. Yes.
Banks are in the end of the day, just financial intermediaries. Yes.
My next post will try to create a comprehensive model which puts together the 3 theories, which in my view (with some assumptions) will grant a simplified but general view of how Banking and Central Banking works.
Let´s try to give the multiplier, Immortality.
(and create another multiplier during the process)

May. 22, 2019
On Oct. 16-25, Christian leaders from 200 countries will meet in South Africa for the highly anticipated Cape Town 2010 conference — the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization — and Biola University is offering the opportunity for Southern California residents to participate Oct. 22-23. Through the simulcast, attendees can attend the conference via video and participate in a discussion with Biola professors in Sutherland Auditorium at Biola.
The Lausanne Movement's third global gathering — the first being in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974, the second occurring in Manila, Philippines in 1989 — is younger and more ethnically diverse than ever, and through the use of technology, will make its Cape Town proceedings available to participants across the world.
The event, one of few in Southern California, is meant to "re-stimulate the spirit of Lausanne represented in the Lausanne Covenant: to promote unity, humbleness in service, and a call to action for global evangelization," and was originally convened by Billy Graham.
Friday, Oct. 22, will feature video clips from Cape Town speakers and discussion on the theme, "The Truth of Christ in a Pluralistic, Globalized World." Biola professor of philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, Garry DeWeese, will be keynote speaker Friday evening and Saturday. The simulcast event on Saturday will also feature other Biola professors and local and international ministry leaders who will discuss the strategic themes identified by the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization. Topics of discussion will include "Megacities and Urban Ministries," "The Broken World" and "Reaching the Unreached."
Tickets can be purchased at biola.edu for $10 for conference attendance only and $25 for conference attendance plus dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday. Press passes available upon request, as well as interviews with speakers.
Biola University is a private Christian university located in Southern California on the border of Los Angeles and Orange counties in the city of La Mirada. For over 100 years, Biola has remained committed to its biblical foundation, integrating biblical principles with every academic program. U.S. News & World Report recognizes Biola as a "National University." In addition to its focus on intentional spiritual development and career preparation, Biola offers a unique academic environment where all faculty, staff and students are professing Christians. With over 145 academic programs in six schools, Biola offers degrees ranging from B.A. to Ph.D. For more information, visit www.biola.edu or call (562) 777 – 4061.

Panasonic AW-HEA10W Tap-Assist Camera Control Module Demo
Product Code:
Reward Points: 0
Availability: 3
Condition: Demo
Panasonic AW-HEA10W Tap-Assist Camera Control Module Demo
Panasonic's AW-HEA10W is a Control Assist Camera module that supports flexible and intuitive operation of an HD Integrated Camera*1 by allowing wireless control from an iPad*2. PTZ control is possible with just a single tap on the panoramic view of the scene. Allows up to 100 sets*3 of cameras to be registered in a single iPad and the camera can be switched during the operation. This model comes in white.
*1: AW-HE130W/K, AW-HE40 Series, and AW-HE60S/H only. When used with the AW-HE60S/H, in some cases an AW-HE60S/H software upgrade will be necessary.
*2: An iPad is required (sold separately). The "PTZ Cntrl" app for iPad (free download from the App Store) is required.
*3: When HD integrated cameras and Control Assist Cameras are combined.
When the AW-HEA10 tap-assist module is teamed with the appropriate camera it becomes a complete solution with an optional tablet* (*The AW-HEA10 is currently supported on iPad; Android and Windows tablet support is planned) and network connection. When shooting with the primary HE40 or HE130 PTZ camera, a super wide-angle video image is simultaneously captured by the HEA10 and displayed on the tablet screen. Tapping the desired area of the image on the tablet allows the user to move the PTZ quickly and smoothly to capture the selected shot. Remote camera operation is thus significantly simplified and accelerated by allowing instant selection of a new shooting angle, eliminating the need to manually zoom out and reposition the camera. Zooming can be controlled via the familiar "pinching" motion, or via an on-screen control. Up to nine pre-set main-camera shots can also be selected via dedicated on-screen buttons.
Because the primary HE40/HE130 camera can be controlled using the HEA10's wide-angle view as a reference, the PTZ can be operated even when selecting a shot that can't be viewed in the primary camera's frame. This ability makes the system especially effective for remote seminars, sports, medical education, news, panel discussions and similar applications. Even non-technical personnel can easily select appropriate shots with this system, while experienced camera operators can use the HEA10 to expand the scope of their remote video production.
When using traditional camera controllers, the operator may sometimes miss action that happens outside the primary camera frame. With the tap-assist camera system, these changes in the action can be previewed in the wide-angle tablet view, and instantly responded to by simply tapping the tablet. Even when shooting rapidly changing circumstances, nothing need be missed.
The very wide-angle horizontal view of the HEA10 is also available via an HDMI output, and can be used for input to a local production switcher for a wide-angle POV shot or other uses. POE+.compatibility simplifies integration and expands the range of uses.
Panasonic AW-HEA10 Applications:
- Government Meetings: Even the unexpected remarks of a participant without a preset position can be quickly handled with intuitive operations. In combination with wide-angle video with an overall view, it is possible to sensitively capture video suitable for constantly changing assembly sessions.
- Tour Courses: In places like zoos, by shooting the animals' overall space, it is possible to easily find the constantly moving animals themselves. For places that are difficult to see from the tour course, the staff can manually operate the camera while giving easy-to-understand explanations using a large-screen monitor.
- Symposium / Lecture Capture: Excellent for use in situations (lectures, etc.) where the speakers have not been defined in advance. The camera can be quickly and easily controlled to zoom in on random speakers whose positions have not been preset.
- TV Conferences: With one iPad, even participants can control the HDintegrated camera for lively teleconferencing. With the wide-angle view, it is possible to quickly capture the speaker with just a tap.
Panasonic AW-HEA10 Features:
- Ultra wide angle full HD live images to assistcontrol: A 1/4.37 type (effective size) 3.91 megapixel MOS sensor and asingle-focus 95° horizontal ultra wide angle lens enable wide and clearoverview shots to assist control of HD Integrated Cameras.
- Easy operation by the free "PTZ Cntrl" app for iPad:Download the free "PTZ Cntrl" app for iPad and install it to enable wirelesscontrol of the camera from the iPad. Operations can be made by touching thescreen of the overall image from the Control Assist Camera and an image froman HD Integrated Camera.
- Flexible setup and two color variations to choosefrom: Cameras can be set up suspended from the ceiling or standing, dependingon the operating environment. The camera angle is manually adjustable with apan range of ±30° and a tilt range of ±45°.
- Two color variations are also available: white andblack. Select the setup type and color according to the intended applicationand environment.
- PoE*5 support for less cabling and reduced installation cost: Connectionto network devices supporting PoE (IEEE 802.3af compliant) allows power to besupplied via an Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for power supplyconstruction and laying power cable, allowing for fewer cords when installingand reduced installation expenses.
NOTE: *5: Abbreviation of Power over Ethernet
- HDMI output: The HDMI output allows you to use the video captured by theControl Assist Camera by outputting to devices equipped with HDMI. Multipleformats*6 are supported (1080/59.94p, 1080/50p, 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i,720/59.94p, 720/50p, 480/59.94p, and 576/50p signals).

The Many Benefits of Having Regular Dental CheckupsPosted Oct 22, 2015 in Dental Health
Everyone should keep the phone numbers of essential professionals handy so they can get help without having to search for providers. These professionals include a plumber, an auto mechanic, and a dentist in Sioux Falls. All three deal with events that can either come up suddenly or arise over time. The dentist, however, is also seen when everything is fine. This is because checkups are important for good dental care.
Dental checkups are used to spot both current and emerging problems, but they also have some benefits that aren't as obvious. Here are some of the reasons it's a good idea to have them:
Dental Checkups Are Motivating
People are trained to be prepared for exams throughout their school years, and the habit sticks throughout adulthood. Going in for dental checkups therefore motivates people to step up hygiene efforts in preparation for their dental visits. This effect often lasts for a while after each visit, too.
Regular Checkups Bring About Regular Cleanings
Most dentists recommend dental cleanings be done every six months. In some cases, cleanings are needed twice that often. When checkups are scheduled, the office will give a reminder about the cleaning. Both things are done back to back, so there is no inconvenience involved.
The Checkup Offers a Chance For Patients to Discuss Dental Options
Patients don't have much of a chance to talk about things like teeth whitening or straightening when they're in the office to get fillings or crowns. Things are much more relaxed and open ended during the checkup, and this makes it the perfect time to raise questions about cosmetic options. Of course, if there are any treatment-centric issues to talk about, these will also be discussed.
Checkups Cover Existing Dental Work
Many people think of fillings and crowns as permanent fixes, but in reality, they tend to need occasional renewal. Because of this, old dental work is examined at checkups. Spotting a leaky filling or loose crown early can prevent extensive damage from stealthily causing extensive tooth decay.
Regular dental checkups bring all of these benefits along with well-known ones like spotting new cavities while they're still small. The next time the dentist's office offers to schedule a checkup and cleaning, take the offer. It's one of the best investments in dentistry.

"The stories were excellent and engaged the children" from Rydon Primary school to Ghee Bowman May 2011
"Chiu did some lovely work with the children... The children were really interested in the calligraphy and most of them wanted to take part in doing some writing, so all very successful. If she would like to come back any time, we would definitely have her!" from St Sidwell's Primary school, Exeter, to Chiu Chan, November 2011
Following a conviction for a racially-aggravated crime, one of our Chinese Cultural Champions (called Lucy below) met with the perpetrator (called Simon below) to share experiences of being a Chinese person living in the UK. This is an extract from the feedback sent by the Youth Offending Team in May 2011 "Simon was very engaged throughout and developed a strong insight into her life and the experience of racism (Lucy described an incident of racism she experienced and how it felt for her). He was able to talk about how what happened was because of his fear of difference, and we were also able to relate it to how people who have different religions, have disabilities, or are older have similar experiences of prejudice. I know that Simon got a huge amount out of the experience. He took the pictures from Lucy, and told her he was going to speak to his friend who had made the racist comment in the first place, and educate him. It was definitely a conversation, and they met as two human beings, finding out about each other's lives. Simon has had an opportunity to meet someone on an equal level, seemed to feel respected by Lucy, but was also given the opportunity to reflect on the whole incident, and his part in not ensuring the racism continued. His decision to take what he'd learned to his friend was a significant step and has meant that what was discussed will be taken further than the immediate conversation, so the impact is greater than we imagined."

Teeth Whitening– A Solution For A Confident Smile.
White Teeth An Essential Part Of The Personality:
If smile of a person is one thing that attracts people then the supporting role is done by the white teeth which adds value to the smile. Just imagine a cute smile with a pale yellow set of teeth and the excitement turns into catastrophe. It adds glory to the personality which highlights the hygiene consciousness of an individual. On very special or important occasions like family functions, job interviews or first day at the new office; people are often concerned about the appearance or rather first impression which includes your looks, hygiene and appearance. White teeth with an attractive smile increase the confidence of an individual as well as appear to be a sign of healthy habits.
How And Why Teeth Become Yellow?
Teeth becomes yellow or even brownish when the stains develop on the enamel leading to the visibility of pale brownish substance i. e. dentin.
There could be many reasons for this to happen. Some of them could be as follows:
· Smoking or consumption of tobacco products.
· Excessive consumption of dark liquids like tea, coffee, red wine
· Improper brushing habits leading to accumulation of plaque and food particles in the pores.
· Natural aging of the human body parts
· Improper diets which include highly processed foods and color in it.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Tooth whitening is the procedure to lighten the color of the teeth by removing the stain patch of the enamel and discoloration. The outer layer of the tooth is called enamel and inner part is called dentin. The combination between this enamel and dentin reflects the actual color of the teeth. Teeth whitening is one process in which the actual shades are brightened by tooth cleaning by a dentist or by bleaching which is a 3-4 weeks continuous procedure.
There could be both scientific and home based remedies to whiten teeth effectively:
§ Scientific Remedies:
Professional bleaching:
In this procedure, the dentist would first put a gel or rubber shield on your gum for protective purpose. Then the whitening product which is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is applied on the teeth. This product when breaks down mixes with oxygen leading to the enamel thus whitening the teeth.
§ Home Based Remedies:
Oil Pulling: A traditional way to prevent teeth by swishing coconut oil around in the mouth to protect teeth. Coconut oil is used because it has pleasant taste and many other health benefits.
§ Regular Brushing After Eating Twice A Day:
This habit is not only good for having white teeth but also better for over all oral health. This lead to getting rid of the plaque which leaves stains on the teeth leading to bad breathe and pale yellow teeth.
§ Apply Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar is a natural antibiotic and gum cleanser, it also helps to remove stubborn stains on the teeth. ACV is especially helpful for removing stains due to common consumption of hard liquids like tea, coffee and wine and consumption of nicotine (smoking) products.
Conclusion: Thus healthy and white teeth can be achieved through natural and healthy ways.

ICE Agents Union to America: AFL-CIO President Trumka does not speak for us on immigration reform
Jan 30, 2013, 11:07 ET
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Regarding President Obama's recent speech on immigration reform, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka was quoted yesterday by YAHOO NEWS! as stating "Unions did have at one point some differences on the issue, but the entire labor movement is entirely behind this now. We'll be at the table the whole time this thing is being developed to make sure it meets the needs of workers."
Unionized ICE Agent's, however, respectfully say, "No President Trumka, there are still differences within the AFL-CIO, and you don't speak for us."
As AFL-CIO affiliates, the Union representing ICE Agents has been excluded by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and his top advisors and prohibited from participating in the development of immigration policy within the AFL-CIO as well as with lawmakers and the Administration.
The ICE Agents union has reportedly made multiple requests directly to Trumka's top advisors all resulting in no change. "It's shocking," said Chris Crane, President of the National ICE Council which represents approximately 7,000 ICE Agents, Officers and employees, "the last time I checked, all of the heavy hitters within immigration enforcement to include ICE, the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services were all excluded by the AFL-CIO from policy planning and input – and we're all AFL-CIO affiliates. With most of the nation's immigration enforcement experts at his fingertips, to include immigration officers, agents and attorneys, Trumka has refused our union input on comprehensive immigration reform."
Regarding comments made by both Trumka and President Obama on defending workers and their rights, ICE Agents say they won't be entrusting AFL-CIO President Trumka to speak on their behalf during comprehensive immigration reform talks. Citing a February White House meeting between top Obama advisor Cecilia Munoz and Union Presidents representing approximately 50,000 unionized federal law enforcement officers, ICE Agents state that Trumka simply didn't come through for their workers in their time of need, and continues to ignore the workplace issues they face.
"We went directly to the Obama administration as well as the AFL-CIO with real matters of life and death for unionized American law enforcement officers and they shunned us," explained Crane, "we're talking about 50,000 AFL-CIO affiliate members. We asked both the AFL-CIO and President Obama for help with corruption within our respective Federal law enforcement agencies, climbing officer suicide rates, assaults against officers, and perhaps most alarming, offenses against pregnant female employees. Following the White House meeting, the Obama Administration cut us off. Cecilia Munoz refuses to correspond with us, and President Trumka hasn't so much as made one public comment fighting for the safety of AFL-CIO federal law enforcement officers. He just doesn't speak on behalf of our union workers."
According to ICE Agents, at the heart of fixing immigration enforcement is fixing their agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency tasked with enforcing U.S. immigration law essentially everywhere in the United States except on the Northern and Southern Borders. Additionally, ICE Agents say to ignore the unique experience of Federal officers and attorneys who specialize in immigration enforcement in the crafting of immigration reforms will create yet another failed immigration policy. "Respectfully, we see a lot of problems with the recently proposed reforms and we plan to exercise our rights as American's to participate in the democratic process and voice those concerns publicly in the upcoming months; we hope to do so without groups like the AFL-CIO demonizing us for expressing a different opinion."
