TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GroveWare Technologies Ltd. (OTCBB: GROV) Capitol Environmental provides a variety of waste management services from facilities management to transportation and logistics. A majority of the services provided by Capitol Environmental are off-site and require communicating the daily work completed to ensure all work has been completed properly back to the office. To provide this communication, they have implemented MobiTask, an app developed by GroveWare Technologies Ltd. (OTCBB: GROV).
Capitol Environmental was in discussions with its Data Solutions Architect at Verizon Wireless about a specific loss prevention solution in the total waste/materials management services at the truck loading and transfers sites. The process of loading subcontracted trucks with waste onsite must be accurately documented to ensure all waste that leaves the site arrives at the transfer site with the same amount. Each truck that is brought on site needs to be documented with the specific arrival and departure time, as well as load quantity. This information needs to be communicated to the transfer sites for them to have the data to compare with their incoming load details. Verizon brought GroveWare into the discussion to see how the MobiTask solution could help solve the problem on hand.
GroveWare assessed the business process and needs of Capitol and provided them with a demo app to take into the field with a tablet provided by Verizon. Capitol decided to start a pilot project at one site before the 2 week demo had ended. The goal of the project was to mobilize the Daily Load Summary Report, which documents details of each truck that comes on site including the truck number, the load weight, arrival time, departure time and a picture of the truck's load. At the end of the day, the form is submitted and an Excel file is generated and automatically sent to the site manager who can track what left the site vs. what arrived to the transfer site. GroveWare turned the project around within a week by building the forms, print templates, notifications and documentation and the project has since been running on its own for six months.
The project has allowed Capitol to properly manage work that is being completed onsite and create a compliance method for the work that is being transferred offsite. The project has been so successful that Capitol Environmental wants to implement the on all sites. This could provide a considerable source of revenue for GroveWare as their licensing agreement is based on per user and billed monthly, quarterly or annually. This client could help GroveWare exceed their 2013 revenue expectations of $4 million. With the way the licensing agreement works, it also provides Capitol with an app that is always up to date and additional apps can be added and automated within their private cloud without adding to their per user cost.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Fastskin FSII, the most advanced and lowest drag racing swimwear in the world to date, is now available for multisport activities. Fastskin FSII is a hybrid of two highly specialized Speedo - exclusive fabrics, Fastskin and Flexskin, to accommodate different flow characteristics across the body and reduce drag through the water, up to 4% decrease compared to original. Fastskin fabric mimics the rough shark denticles to reduce drag in key areas and features a Turbulence Management System. Greater stretch for better fit and movement. Thread feels softer against the skin.
- Since the Speedo Aqualab introduced Fastskin FSII, competitors have be left in its wake.
- The FSII has been the fastest speedsuit at the Athens Olympics, the Montreal and Shanghai FINA World Championships, the National Championships ... and for the first time, won Winter Olympic medals in Torino.
- In development, we collaborated not only with the world's top swimmers and coaches but the foremost experts in the fields of physiology, bio-mechanics, and computational fluid dynamics.
- By examining how water flows around a body in motion, we found a hybrid of two exclusive fabrics, Fastskin and Flexskin, that reduces drag and maximizes performance.

Beauty Rave : Monthly Fave (October)
Welcome to the new and improved blog!
I know I'm a bit late but for my first post, I wanted to share with you something I have been loving for a while, but especially this past month.
FYI: I will be doing these Beauty Rave : Monthly Fave posts every month with a beauty-related product that I have been obsessed, in love, infatuated with (you get the picture) :)
My first ColourPop cosmetics purchase was back in July. I ordered a few eye shadows after I saw CoffeeBreakwithDani's review on YouTube. I just had to buy the eye shadows to experience first hand how great they are and let me tell you, these eye shadows are like no other. Not only are they unique in packaging, but also in texture and they have a huge variety of colors to choose from. In September, I ordered a new product they launched, lippie stix and pencils. Their eye shadows are so good, why not try their lip products, right? Well, the lip products are just as amazing. Long lasting, excellent finish, opaque, and non-drying lippie stix and matching pencils. Below are the products I have by ColourPop with swatches and makeup looks I have created using their products. I recommend at least getting $30 dollars worth of their products to try out (each product is ONLY $5!! and if you spend $30 you get free shipping). They are definitely a cosmetic company to watch out for. They also just launched their Holiday Collection and I'm already going crazy in analyzing which set (or sets!) I want.

I understand, and you touch on an important point, and that is that your emotional balance is very important in trading. That's why, as the previous person was mentioning, you need to find a style that works for you and that you can stick with. The most important thing is the quality of stocks you invest in or trade. Are they top-earners, say, as rated by Investor's Business Daily or some other source?
As for when to buy them, I buy them only when they break out or bottom out (reversal trades). I swing trade (trades that last from several weeks to several months or longer) simply because I don't like worrying about how my stocks are doing in bad markets, because I'm in cash. I can go off and enjoy myself. Then, I wait for the dust to clear and ride them right back up again. Call me a "sore loser," but that's how I roll. The other reason for investing in or trading leaders (and why I mention that traders should monitor their strength/health daily) is that they are like canaries in a coalmine. Their strength/weakness tips you off as to whether the big institutions that hold them are feeling good about things or not so good. If you think swing trading is for you, I'd suggest maybe paper trading or trading in smaller increments until you feel comfortable.
If you want to go the buy-and-hold route, I'd look for leading companies that offer generous dividends. Hope this helps! Best, PJ.May 25, 2013. 10:31 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
I absolutely agree with you. Not only do you have to settle on a particular investing/trading style but it has to fit YOUR circumstances, not someone else's. In considering this, you might want to take into account your age, the level of risk you feel comfortable with, how much money you have to trade/invest, the amount of time you have available to manage your trades/investments, your level of interest etc. My article was pretty much directed at traders, and specifically traders that only now are considering stepping up their involvement, that's why I'm talking about monitoring the strength of the leaders and the market indexes on a daily basis and keeping abreast of market-moving events. Along the lines of what you mentioned, I believe trading is a "confidence game" and keeping track of where leading stocks and the market stand along with potentially market-moving events acts as a barometer that provides you with the confidence you need to overcome that indecisiveness. Great discussion, thank you for your thoughts!

Thanks for you comments, but this article is intended more for traders (especially swing traders) than "buy and hold" investors, which you seem to be. Why do I feel that swing trading-- which is more along the lines of William O'Neil's style of trading-- is better? Because you miss the market corrections that happen at least two or three times a year AND you miss down cycles in top quality stocks. Let me give you an example. Say you bought Apple (AAPL) at $456, which was its price at the end of 2012, and you rode that stock all the way up to nearly $700 share, but continued to hold it even when it ran into trouble. No need to keep an eye on it, it's a "wonderful company." Well, right now you'd be losing money on it, because the stock's at around $444. Now, let me ask you, wouldn't you have been happier jumping out of Apple when it ran into trouble? By swing trading it, you wouldn't be sitting on a loss or having to wait for the stock to appreciate $256/share just to get back to where you were! That's a wasted use of time and money. Remember, even well-run, "wonderful" publicly-held companies get into trouble periodically, and in my opinion, you are far better off reallocating your money to the stocks of companies that are clearly are on the rise. By the way, nobody said you have to watch a top stock "every hour, every minute." But paying attention to your investments is only smart trading AND smart investing. Again, say you ignored Apple for a few weeks as many people did?
Now, if you're in the fortunate position of having a lot of money, and don't want to be bothered with closely managing your investments, dividend stocks might be a good idea, but your returns-- even with the dividends-- won't match the price appreciation of most leading stocks.

This article may seem general, but as publisher of Stock Confidential you'd be surprised how few traders pay attention to the basics I've indicated above. There's a big difference between knowing what to do and doing what you know. Traders just starting out this far into the bull market are not sitting on the profit cushion other traders have, so there's a much thinner margin for error. Thus, they need to trade in a very disciplined manner. Anyway, thanks for your comment. : )

All of us have our own character foibles and personal demons, but his strategies, wisdom, and psychological approach to the market are still in use by top traders today-- including William O'Neil and many others. I'd suggest reading "Jesse Livermore World's Greatest Stock Trader," if you haven't already. For traders, it's a very interesting read. Best, PJ

Thanks for your comment Mohamed, I assume you're talking about ETFs. For me, the decision as to whether to trade ETFs or quality stocks is best determined by how much effort you want to put into your investments. But holding them "forever" doesn't make much sense to me anymore than you "buy and holds" a particular stock-- that is, unless you want to be a passive investor. ETFs are only as good as the market index or basket of stocks or commodities contained in a particular ETF, and let's face it, just like stocks, sectors fall in and out of favor, and indexes go up and down. Yes, it's difficult to time the market these days, but in no way impossible. Today, most ETFs are getting pounded just as any stock is. Me? I'm out of the market completely. I favor trading only a select group of top earning companies and I only buy them when they break out of proven chart patterns, or when they bottom out, and they can rack up much bigger and faster returns than most any ETF I know of. Following individual company stocks gives you the opportunity to get to know them, You learn about their earnings track record, how the stock tends to move, etc. versus a whole basket of stocks. But you need to have the discipline to trade them only during strong uptrending markets.

Thanks for your comment! I agree with you about shorting, but I'd say it's a worthwhile strategy only at market extremes-- namely when stocks are WAY overbought. I don't see trading as gambling, though-- not if you chose the right times to trade and avoid choppy markets like the one we're going through right now. News-driven markets defy almost every strategy. When there's a solid upturn in progress with clear leadership, however, I make a lot of money trading top quality (earnings growth) stocks that are breaking out or rebounding. Most traders don't have the mental discipline to stay out of the market when things are they way they are now. I'm almost completely in cash right now. You need to be highly selective of the times you trade and know when to pounce.

Thanks for your comment, Joe, I agree. In the absence of any market leadership, it's always best to turn to defensive issues-- especially with all the challenges before us for the European and U.S. economies. One of my favorite things to do is spot top quality stocks (strong earnings!) that are in the process of bottoming out. I find candlestick charting helps a lot.

Yes, certain option trades make sense, but "most" traders in dicey markets can and usually do eventually lose their shirts trying to short the market. I've seen even top traders (and I won't mention any names) lose BIG trying to short. That's why you don't hear people like Wm O'Neill and others touting its virtues. There's also the psychological component. For "most" traders, taking time off to build their watch list and protect their emotional capital is paramount, inasmuch as the stress of trading can an enormous toll.

Tubers like taro are paleo but some may have issues with the higher levels of starch. I'd treat them similar to sweet potatoes,-good for weight gain, bad for weight loss, good for nutrition and those who need calories, bad for those with bad blood sugar control. Etc.
ROB_3 3521 · March 29, 2011 at 2:31 PM
I just tried Taro recently and it was delicious. I think it's my new favorite tuber, because it isn't as sweet as sweet potato and I don't find it as bland as potato.

Stanton, CA, February 26, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Google and YouTube have approved Xclaimed Ministries for live streaming on the YouTube.com/Xclaimedministries Channel and many other benefits to help increase their efforts within the community.
Since 2005, Xclaimed Ministries has been involved in community events and outreach. Over 20,000 people have been to their events receiving free food, toys, clothes, resources, Bibles, entertainment and concerts. The purpose of these events is to bring resources and help to the people within the community. At each event, the ministry provides toys, bicycles and activities for the children. Paul Karanick, Evangelist and co-founder, says, "Our first priority is to help the children. Giving them toys, bicycles, food, and fun activities is just one step in showing them that we care. We can't change the world, but we sure can change the life of a few children in the community. Many of the families that attend our events have limited income. Many live in small motel rooms, or inside their cars and even on the streets. We have helped several families find temporary housing, rescued children from abusive situations and have provided toys at Christmas for thousands of families in need. At the very least, we want to provide a day of fun for the entire family, no matter what their situation, and it doesn't cost them a dime!
"Besides children, we look to help anyone in need. The idea is to connect the person or family in need with someone who can help them. It is great to see churches, non-profit organizations, Google, YouTube, and other corporations work together to help others."
Karanick said that he has received an "unofficial" notice from a Sam's Club representative that they also will be providing a grant to help sponsor the Xclaimed events and should be completed well before their May 4th event.
Over the past few months, the Torrance Church of the Nazarene, Yorba Linda Faith Community, Long Beach Church of the Nazarene, Hawthorne Church of the Nazarene and Norman Moore Ministries have all contributed to remodeling the kitchen and fellowship hall for the ministry. Xclaimed Ministries and the Stanton Lighthouse Community church partner together to serve three free cooked meals each week. The kitchen needed some upgrades and they found the support in neighboring churches.
Karanick said, "I drive the church bus to the local motels and pick up families and children who would like to come to our community dinner and church service. One particular day, I picked up four children and when they got to church they ate huge plates of food. Jokingly, I asked them what they had to eat today. They replied, 'A piece of toast'. My heart sank as I realized that they were serious. The entire day, they had only had a piece of toast. A few days later, they came to eat again; I asked again what they had to eat that day. They replied, 'Nothing. Mom didn't have enough money for cigarettes so we didn't get to eat.' We can't change the world, but we sure can help these children."

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Spy thriller leaves us unshaken, unstirred
WITH stars Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye) and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace), The November Man deliberately tries to resonate a James Bond vibe in its kiss-kiss-bang-bang milieu of international intrigue.
Alas, it never approaches the intensity or escapist entertainment value of even Brosnan-era Bond. Like a gunpowder-burned Brioni jacket discovered in a Goodwill store, it feels decidedly like a Bond castoff.
Brosnan's character is not so much a blunt instrument as a scalpel. Peter Devereaux is in the assassination business, and in this movie's Russian-Eastern European locales, brother, business is a-booming. (We learn that he is dubbed the "November Man" by an admiring colleague who observes: "After you passed through, nothing lived.")
But in the film's prologue, Devereaux is getting sick of it all, especially after his brash protegé Mason (Luke Bracey) disobeys an order that gets an innocent bystander killed on a CIA mission.
Devereaux's retirement is short-lived. He is called to help extricate a Russian double agent with damaging intel on Federov (Lazar Ristovski), a vicious war criminal with unseemly political ambitions. It turns out Devereaux has an especially close relationship with said double agent, and when she is senselessly killed -- that is meant literally: her murder by her own allies makes absolutely no sense to the narrative -- Devereaux goes on his own rogue mission of vengeance against his former masters.
As per Bond formula, the key to the mystery is a beautiful woman. That would be Alice Fournier (Olga Kurylenko), a relief worker with a specialty for rescuing Chechen women forced into sexual slavery. One such girl could provide evidence against Federov and both the Russians and the CIA are entered in the race to find her.
Director Roger Donaldson has paddled in spy thrillers before (No Way Out, The Recruit) and he can keep his head above water. Yet he consistently botches the opportunities that come his way. For example, we are introduced to a cool, lithe Russian assassinatrix (Amila Terzimehic) who promises to be a formidable opponent for Devereaux. Then she seems to drop out of the movie altogether before a climactic showdown that spectacularly fails to live up to its promise.
That pretty much sums up The November Man, suggesting another reason for the killer's colourful monicker: After he passes through, you'll just feel numb.

Experiment: Conversations with 6yr olds, 2014, middle class, majority white, Ohio, during Native American Heritage Month
(Shows a picture of Chief Stephen Adkins) "Do you know who this is?"
"Indian/a chief!"
"This is Chief Stephen Adkins he along with 11 other people called a tribal council lead the Chickahominy tribe. We should also call him a Native American rather than an Indian."
"What do Native Americans live in?"
"a tipi/ the woods/ a fort"
"No I mean today, right now not a long time ago."
Blank faces
"Well, where do you live?"
"house/ apartment/ with my grandma!"
"That is where Native Americans live as well."
"What kind of jobs do they have?"
"Hunters/ warriors!" kids started running around slapping their mouths.
"Ok, I am sure some Native Americans hunt as a job and I know many are in the United States military, so they are warriors, but they are also lawyers, doctors, writers, police officers, cashiers and a ton of other jobs. Also, doing that with your mouth isn't very nice."
I was frustrated, not with the little ones, but that this is what they know of an entire culture of people. I understand this is not the same answer I would get if I lived in a different part of the United States, but really? Luckily, I made a slight difference. The next time I saw them I was told that one of the kids went up to their teacher and told her that Indians don't live in a tipi and also they don't like to be called indians, we should call them Native Americans. I'll take it.
When I was little I barely understood that Native Americans existed let alone that some still lived in impoverished conditions on reservations that were forced on their ancestors. How did a girl that went to a blue ribbon school in an affluent town not know about modern day native culture? Even stranger was that Russell Means, one of the most well known AIM (American Indian Movement) members lived in Cleveland and started a chapter of AIM here in the 70s. His hand print is all over this city and I didn't have any idea until I started doing my own research into Native American culture for a character I was developing over a year ago. Where for the past 20 years a man named Robert Roche along with several others dedicated thousands of hours in protest and education to change the MLB Indians team name and develop their community in a land that tribes/ tribal law were forced out years ago.
Back to my point, I want to talk about White America as a whole and our understanding of Native American culture. We watch movies that portray Native Americans as savages or silly sidekicks and follow sports teams that use the culture as a caricature. Ultimately painting the wrong picture. Of course there are movies about amazing Native Americans that don't portray this, but they are far and few between. That coupled with my later argument will neatly wrap up why there is a stigma.
Other than a few, the proverbial wool is pulled over our eyes. We are taught in primary school that the government gave Native Americans a choice with organized treaties that would benefit everyone. We quickly glazed over battles, Wounded Knee, revolts, Trail of Tears, yet we focus on a story that Christopher Columbus was a stand up guy who sailed the ocean blue in 1492. Accept, he was a tyrant, rapist and overall dumbshit who got lost. How does this man have his own day?
This brings me to argument number two, our education system is lacking. As proven by my experiment at the beginning of this essay. I understand that it takes money and process to change a system, but when will my kids learn true history?
The solution is that I will teach them, we should teach them. I have started reading to my girls Coyote and other books that show the thriving native community it is today… the real truth.
Recently, MTV had a special called Rebel Music, it featured stories and music by Mike Cliff, Frank Waln, Inez Jasper, and Nataanii Means. They are modern day activists for their people, for their tribes and for Native America as a whole. Mixed with others in the Native American community actively trying to crush the stereotypes, like Gyasi Ross (lawyer/author/activist) and Tatanka Means (comedian/activist) promote a sober life and mentorship for native youth. Dennis Banks (notable AIM member) rode cross country to spotlight the importance of nutrition and diabetes in native culture. Artists like Virgil Ortiz (fashion/photography/sculpture) and Matika Wilbur (photographer) are proving that traditional themes can be modernized with stunning results. Leaders are emerging.
I learned that this is the 7th generation and they will start a revolution. It will not be with violence, which got past AIM activists in trouble . It seems this generation will teach by way of art and storytelling, by singing and most of all by keeping their traditions ongoing. There are 562 federally recognized tribes and over 4 million people in America self recognize as Native American. Those numbers promise change.
What I learned I will teach my daughters, show them hoop dancing and pow wows. That in this culture there is a huge importance placed on protecting their land by protesting fracking and pipelines. Fighting still for what treaties promised and the ultimate fact that Native Americans are the originals and what happened to them at the hands of men like Christopher Columbus, government officials and others needs to be rectified.
My descendents are from Europe, so what does that mean for me? I don't have to fight for my basic rights. I do agree being a female has some disadvantages, but overall I won the American lottery. That means that as a White American I have an obligation to learn on a broader level. If not, we are missing the point.

Color can often make or break a photo. Sometimes color is the exact reason that we took a picture in the first place and we want to get that color looking as good as possible. Sometimes, that means fine tuning individual colors, in order to make sure that each color looks accurate or optimal. We can of course start with white balance adjustments, and then perhaps adjust vibrance and saturation. But sometimes you might want to work on individual colors individually. And that's where the HSL, or color adjustments, come into play. HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Luminance, and those are three properties that we can use to describe a specific color.
Hue is what we think of the color itself. For example, red is a hue, orange is a hue, yellow is a hue. And we can, of course, shift between those different hues in order to change the appearance of a color. Saturation is the intensity of a color or how pure it is. The more vibrant a color looks, the more saturated it is. And luminense is the brightness of the color. Is the red very bright or very dark for example. HSL and color actually provide the same sliders. We can adjust hue saturation and luminese for each of the individual colors identified here, red, orange, yellow, green, aqua, blue, purple and magenta.
The only difference is how these sliders are presented. In HSL, we can choose to see the hue slider for each of the colors. We can choose to see the Saturation slider, again for each of the colors, or the Luminance slider for each of the colors. And we can even see all of those at once so that we have Hue sliders, Saturation sliders, and Luminance sliders. All available at the same time. If we switch to the Color Mode option, then we're able to organize the sliders based on the color. So we'll see Hue, Saturation and Luminance for the red color, or Hue, Saturation and Luminance for the orange color.
Or again, we can see all of the colors with the Hue, Saturation and Luminance sliders grouped based on color. I'll go ahead and switch back to HSL and I'll choose Hue initially so that we can take a look at the Hue sliders. This allows us to fine tune the hue for individual color ranges. So lets start with the greens for example. If I shift the greens to the left. You'll see that the foliage gets a little bit more yellow. And if I move it to the right. You'll see that it gets a little bit more cayenne. Almost starting to get a little bluish. Similarly, if I adjust the orange slider.
You'll see that those carrots start to get a little bit more yellow. Or a little bit more red. This could certainly be an interesting creative effect. But generally, were trying to create a relatively realistic result. And so this is a way to help improve those colors, just a little bit. Again with hue, were effectively shifting the value of the color, you can sort of think of it as a white balance adjustment or a color balance adjustment that only affects a very small range of color values within the image. Similarly, we can adjust saturation individually by color, so if I increase the saturation for orange you'll see that the carrots get much more intense. But the foliage, the top of the carrots, are not being affected at all. But I could adjust the greens obviously to adjust that foliage if I wanted to, either reducing it or increasing it as I see fit. And finally we can adjust luminance for each of those colors, so I could brighten or darken the carrots if I felt the need.
But generally speaking I'll limit myself to hue and saturation adjustments perhaps with a very, very minor luminance adjustment. But it's easy to get into trouble with those luminance adjustments on a per color basis, because it can start to make things look either washed out or a little bit too muddy. We also have an option to work directly on the image, so if I go to the Hue or Saturation or Luminance sections, I can choose the on image adjustment. Let's for example work with saturation. I'll go ahead and choose the Saturation option, click on the On-image adjustment control, and then I can move out into the image.
Notice as I move my mouse around the image, a particular value in the Saturation section will be highlighted. At the moment, for example, the green value is highlighted because my mouse is over a green pixel. If I move over an orange pixel, you'll see that the orange value is highlighted. I can then click and drag, upward to increase the value, or downward to decrease the value. In this case adjusting saturation, primarily for the orange. Notice however, that since that there's a little bit of red in this area, the red slider is also being effected, by this on image adjustment. So that's a great way to work directly with the image. You're paying attention to the images itself and deciding whether you want to increase or decrease saturation.
Whether you want to shift the hue or adjust the luminance, all focused on a specific and relatively narrow range of colors. Once you're finished with the On Image adjustment you can just click that icon once again and continue working on the sliders or move on to other adjustments. As you can see, the basic concepts behind the hue, saturation and luminance sliders. Are relatively straight forward, and yet, these sliders provide you with tremendous control over the colors in your photos.

TOMPKINSVILLE,Ky, (WBKO) -- When you are a program like Monroe County and have the success they have had, then every season is expected to be a big one and this year is no different for the team or it's fans.
Last year head coach John Petett and the Falcons went 8-4 after a 12-2 season in 2012.
This year's team has just nine seniors, but the excitement and hope is still very high.
