Tampere Travel guide
Tampere : Michelin's recommendations
Tampere is the largest town in the Scandinavian interior, and Finland's third largest urban area. It is situated on an isthmus flanked by two huge lakes, Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi, which are linked by rapids that run through the city. It is an agreeable, open plan town, with lakeside parks providing plenty of fresh air. It is also a major centre for culture and tourism: its rich modern art museum, national Romantic-style cathedral and some fine 20C architectural feats are worth seeing.

Chart of the Day: We're Still Living With the Toxic Political Legacy of 9/11
Via Larry Bartels, here's an interesting chart from James Stimson that tracks the public's level of conservatism over the past 60 years. You can click the link to read about his methodology, but what this chart basically shows is that "the public tends to act as a 'thermostat,' shifting to the left when the political climate in Washington shifts to the right and to the right when policy shifts to the left." In other words, when the president is a Republican, the public tends to tire of conservatism and become more liberal. When the president is a Democrat, the public tends to tire of liberalism and become more conservative.
Until recently, the only real exception to this was the 60s. But now there's a second one: the George W. Bush administration. And this is interesting, I think, because it shows the enduring effect of the war on terror. My interpretation of this chart is that Bush managed to avoid the normal public backlash during his first three years in office, and the obvious explanation for this is 9/11 and the Iraq War. Eventually, the political mood did start to trend more liberal, but because of the initial 9/11 effect, the public ended up in 2008 about where it had started in 2000. As a result, Obama began his presidency with an unusually conservative public. Thus, instead of merely bouncing back from the previous presidency in the usual yo-yo fashion, the conservative backlash against Obama took us into the right-wing stratosphere.
There may be other explanations for this. Have at it in comments. But George Bush did everything he could to politicize 9/11, and it looks to me like it paid off. Whether we realize it or not, we're still living with the toxic legacy of 9/11 and the war on terror.

New in this version:
Tap screen to toggle the menu bar display. This way the app is using the full screen to display the preview.
There is now an onscreen settings button in the upper right corner.

There is now an onscreen settings button in the upper right corner.
What is this app?
This app is designed for directors and DP's to block out and stage shots.
A director's viewfinder is a viewer used by film directors and cinematographers to frame a shot as seen through the camera lens. Like a traditional viewfinder, this app simulates various cameras, formats and lenses. This app also includes the tilt angle and direction you're pointing in.
In order to support lenses wider than your device can display, the preview is shrunk in relation to the size of the actual lens. You can use this to gauge the extents of the frame.
Currently this app supports lens sizes from 6mm to 200mm, most aspect ratio formats, and the following cameras:
35mm Film
35mm Still
Super 35
Super 16
Red One
Canon 5D
Canon 7D
Sony 2/3" chip cameras
Standard DV 1/3" chip cameras
2-perf Techniscope
Four Thirds system format
Panasonic AG-HPX370
Arri Alexa
Lumix GH2
New in this version is the ability to add your own cameras and lenses. You can also edit the camera settings that ship with the app.
Never be without your viewfinder again!
Take pictures with overlays for safe frame and/ or safe title, rule of thirds, a 12 field chart and more.
You can snap a picture by pressing the onscreen camera icon. Because of the processing being done to the image, you must wait for the camera icon to be green before taking another picture.
Camera information will be added to the picture. Any overlays you have in the preview will also be added to the final picture. The background surrounding the picture is nearly white to make it easier and cheaper to print your photos.
All pictures are automatically added to the Photos app on your device.
My website is swamped with spam comments, making it impossible for me response to people's requests. I'm planning on building a new website soon.
If there is a problem running this app after an upgrade, try uninstalling the app and reinstalling. This seems to fix most problems people have had with upgrading.
Thank you all for supporting me! Its been a long time since my last update and I realise that there were problems with the last version. I hope this version will make up for the last and become a tool you'll use often.
You must install this app before submitting a review.
Google Play reviews now use Google+ so it's easier to see opinions from people you care about. New reviews will be publicly linked to your Google+ profile. Your name on previous reviews now appears as "A Google User".

Best tool for the director! Excellent tool serves many uses. Never location scout or go to set without it.
Chris Santucci
Not accurate in RAZR maxx The field of view is way off. Didn't check all cameras, but Alexa - way off.
A Google User
Request I would love to see more aspect ratios. 2.39:1 and 2.76:1 specifically.
George Walker
Fine art photographer here Excellent tool, worth every penny,would like to see camera aspect ratios, fx ,dx,also the golden ratio,logarithmic spiral. Regards he
A Google User
Almost there... Good, could be better. Pixelation at focal lengths longer that 25mm (16:9,Sony 2/3") make the image un-decipherable making it useless at these settings. How about as an alternative to digitally zooming image into a pixelated mush placing a frame over an un-magnified image to represent the image size at long focal lengths?

Useful, but just barely. The program functions fine as long as you don't try to zoom any of the lenses. Digital zoom=pixilated images. Overall OK.
No support! Waste of $10! Guaranteed! Warning: Do *not* buy this, you will not be happy! I purchased this because I have already used the developer's Digislate before. However, you have no way to set *standard* lens sizes in this application. For example, if you are using a 11mm lens (such as Tokina), you cannot set it up. 8mm (Samyang/Bower), 11mm, 16mm (Canon), 21mm etc., are all standard sizes for any camera including Canon DSLR and Super 35. These are missing and you cannot add these. The developer did not respond to any of my emails! I sent four e-mails after I paid for this crapware, and developer has not responded to any! Too bad I couldn't try this out within 15 minutes! I would have definitely returned this crapware.
Very useful. Doesn't save pictures on my phone though - HTC Desire HD
Awesome Artemis viewfinder app is overpriced in my opinion. This app is a great alternative. Works great. I use it during pre-production.
Km Great app. Please add 2.35:1 crop marks for canon 5d mark ii.
Terrible Useless for me, the display is cropped and I cant see the settings. Using mytouch 4g and I cant tell what I'm doing.
Great app. I used this for my thesis film, it works very nice. Don't complain if it's your phone that sucks
It's great. Can you add 2.35 frame lines for when you are shooting 16x9 and cropping. An example would be the Alexa.
Crahes every time I try to take a picture. Worthless - I should have spent the extra $ on Artemis.
Great application. Framing is pretty dead on. My only complaint is for the red camera. There is no option for when you need to go to 2k for high speed
Great except really need to have ability to screenshot... once that is included 5 stars
Great app! Will make shoots very easy. The developer gave great customer service and made sure the app worked on my phone. (HTC desire HD)
Good start! I cant wait for the ability to take pictures.
What's New
Please let me know if you experience problems with this app. I'm doing everything I can to make sure this works on all the supported devices. I'm just one man trying to write and maintain these apps while still working my day job.
Added support for newer Android devices.
Much faster, cleaner code.
Improved all math routines for lens calculation.
Faster image saving, less memory needed.
Lots of code improvements.

Artemis Director's Viewfinder
Artemis is a digital director's viewfinder designed for cinematographers, directors, and anyone interested in filmmaking, photography, cameras, and film. Artemis works in much the same way as a traditional director's viewfinder but more accurately and with many more features.
If you have any issues please email us anytime for support. We are very happy to help!
By selecting your camera, an aspect ratio and a list of lenses, Artemis allows you to compose shots with the same field of view as the camera/lenses you will be shooting with. You can then save images, complete with focal length, GPS data, compass heading, tilt and roll, date and time, camera/lens information, and much more. A great tool for any level of filmmaker, Artemis is perfect for location scouting, storyboarding, blocking, rehearsal and preproduction.
For lenses wider than the your devices camera's field of view, Artemis adds "padding" on the screen. While this is not ideal, it's our best solution for getting around the limitations of the camera in your device.
Artemis has been field tested with every camera in our database to make sure that the field of view is correct. No other multiformat director's viewfinder has as many camera specific formats or lens sets.
Please note that field of view is measured from the "nodal point", roughly mid way down the length of the lens, in keeping with the method used by lens manufacturers.
***Major update coming soon! With new user interface, custom camera calibration, custom lenses, and many other new useful features!***

Turn your Android device into a digital viewfinder. This application shows the framing lines of any camera format and lens combinations. This was developed with large format photography in mind, where moving the camera around to find the right framing is laborious. With this application, one can now quickly find the best camera position and lens combination for the desired picture.
You can define any frame you want by simply entering the image capturing size and lens focal length. You build your own database of camera and lens.
Picture can be taken as seen from the selected frame and GPS coordinate can also be added to the exif data.
For lens wider than what the Android camera can support, padding is used to fill the gap.
If you are getting an "Invalid Camera Parameters" message, it means that the firmware of the camera is not providing valid metric for focal length and field of view. You can now manually enter those parameters through the application settings.

At first, not on their own demanding, but also not much creativity, just as much as possible first in the white paper listed out, you know, there may be visitors would enter the words, giving top priority. The first step, listing key words. The second step to check your website statistics to see what keywords are so far visitors from search engines or from other links to reach your website. If you do not have the statistics to establish as soon as possible. The traffic analysis system, the site's success. Specifically how to set up, see Chapter 9, "site care and monitoring methods." The third step is to go to your competitors website stroll lap. Download their web page, view the HTML code of the kind they use keywords. The fourth step around with your friends, colleagues and discuss, ask them questions related to your website and see what they are most concerned about. These concerns also the source of key words generated.

This phenomenon is known as "search tail" phenomenon, it is the beginning of the process of keyword research section. This phenomenon shows that, with the gathering and site-related in 10 to 20 top popular keywords contrary, the key words and website content includes hundreds or even thousands of words, those words are often the most top popular keywords derived, as if the top popular keywords is the first, which derived from the formation of a long tail terms.

This principle, if you run a careful analysis of data your site is not difficult to see the. In general, the traditional approach to search engine optimization on the most popular 10 to 20 key words, because these key words account for 80% of search engine traffic. The remaining 20% of the traffic from a number of other smaller search volume keywords. And this word may have hundreds or more. In this way, a long time to form a "80 - 20" rule: people who search the largest concentration of optimizing the 10 - 20 key words and ignore the rest of the large number of non-core. However, the remaining hundred or more of these non-core term is also worthy of attention is necessary, because those 10 - 20 core keywords bring traffic must be less than the hundreds, thousands of non-core flow of key words sum. "Search tail" of this principle, if that 10 - 20 core word "head" on the amount of flow of popular keywords, shown in Figure 5 - 1 shown. ?

Finding the perfect clothes washer for your home can be a challenge, due to all the different options to consider when determining what exactly meets your needs. Each family is different, so think about the size and feature you or your family will require before purchasing. Appliances Connection can help.
Appliances Connection carries top brands, like Amana, LG, and Daewoo, to name a few. If you have any questions or need help choosing the right washer for your laundry room, contact us at 800-299-9470.
What is the right washer for you? There are two types of washing machines: top loading and front loading. Top loading is not as energy-efficient as a front loader; however, a front loader generally has a longer wash cycle. |
Top loading washers have a faster wash cycle and lighter in weight; however, they use more water and laundry detergent and are harder on your clothes. | Front loading washers have a cleaner washer and use less detergent; however, they are much heavier and are typically more expensive on purchase. |
Main Points of Consideration: When determining which type is right for you, you first should consider what size and budget meets your need. If you live in a studio apartment, a large appliance may not be the right fit. Additionally, if you budgeted for a basic top-loading washer, you probably shouldn�t be considering next-gen models with advanced sensors that are twice the price. |
Capacity is also important, which depends on the size of your home and family. For small family or apartment dwellers, a compact or stackable washer is sufficient. For larger families, look at the volume of laundry you go through to consider the capacity that fits your needs best. | Volume is the amount of noise a machine generates during a spin cycle, so if your machine is next to a bedroom or on the second floor, a washer with quiet settings is your best choice. |
Length of wash cycle is important to consider, especially if you are always on the run. Top loaders are generally your best choice if you are seeking a shorter wash cycle. | Energy-efficiency is also important to consider, which will save energy as well as extend the life of your clothes. |
Features to Look For: | |
Delay-starts allow you to set your washing machine before you head to bed. | Automatic water level selects the exact amount of water for each load to prevent overfilling. |
Internal water heaters reduce the amount necessary from your home heater. |
Appliances Connection offers free nationwide in-home delivery, no sales tax, and full manufacturer warranties on all brand new washers. We can even haul away your old washer.
To contact us with any questions on what washer best fits your needs, please call 800-299-9470.Refine By Brand: | ||

US 6801130 B2 Abstract The invention provides an improved inventory management and theft detection system whereby by a security tag is placed on an article for sale. The security tag is affixed to the article so that the article cannot be opened when the security tag is in place. A device to remove the security tag is controlled by the cash register of the store. The security tag removal device is controlled by the cash register and does not operate unless a sales transaction has occurred.
Claims(2) 1. A system for controlling the removal of a security tag comprising:
one or more inventory items comprising a container with at least one moveable portion so that said container can be opened and closed and wherein said container comprises a media storage device;
a security tag secured to each inventory item wherein said security tag contains identification information on the inventory item and wherein said security tag must be removed from said inventory item by a security tag removal device in order to open and close said container and gain access to said media storage device;
a inventory database;
a point of sale terminal, wherein said point of sale terminal has a means to read said identification information on said security tag, communicate said information to said inventory datatbase, and generate an output signal to said security tag removal device; and
a security tag removal device for removing said security tag from said inventory item wherein said security tag removal device reads the identification information from said security tag and compares said identification information with said point of sale terminal output signal, verifies that said inventory information matches prior to removing said security tag, and generates an update signal to said inventory database.
2. The system of
Description This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/328,193 filed Oct. 11, 2001. This invention relates to an apparatus and system for securing and managing inventory, such as an article security tag and security tag release device, and point of sale terminal. Various types of containers are known for holding products such as in a retail store. Numerous security and inventory management systems have been developed such as theft detection tags, physical objects to be removed by the sales clerk, and bar codes. One exemplary product to be managed is information storage media, such as compact discs (CD's) and digital video discs (DVD's). An exemplary state of the art container for storage media is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,788,068 and WO97/41563, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein. An exemplary problem with prior art containers for storage media is the theft of the storage media, e.g. the CD or DVD, from the container inside the retail store. Conventionally, containers are provided with an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tag that triggers an alarm if the container is taken out of the store without the EAS tag either being removed or rendered inactive by the store sales staff. One way to counter an EAS tag is simply to remove the storage media from the container. One method of countering this theft technique is to wrap the container in a clear plastic wrapper. The wrapper must be at least partially removed before the container can be opened. However, thieves have been known to slit the wrapper along an edge of the container and removed the storage media by manipulating the container. Moreover, thieves have developed additional techniques to include removing the EAS tag from the container or product. U. K. Patent Application No. 00275537 ('537) describes an improved security tag that secures storage media inside the container. The security tag described in this application secures the storage media in the container and prevents the container from opening while the security tag is in place. However one potential problem with the '537 application is that an employee or thief with access to a security tag removal system can circumvent this feature. What is needed is an improved inventory management and theft deterrent system whereby a security tag, such as described in the '537 application cannot be removed unless a sales transaction has occurred. The invention provides an improved inventory management system whereby by a security tag is placed on an article for sale. The security tag is affixed to the article so that a packaging cannot be opened with the security tag in place. A device to remove the security tag is controlled by the point of sale terminal. The tag removal device will not operate unless a sales transaction takes place. The above and other features of the present invention which will become more apparent in the description below and can be understood by the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying FIGURE. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an inventory management system according to the invention. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an inventory management system 100. An exemplary inventory item 70 is shown. In an exemplary embodiment, item 70 is a storage media container (not shown) with an information storage media, such as a CD or DVD located inside the container. The storage media is secured inside the container by a security tag 72 such as described in the '537 application tat uses a RFID tags for preventing theft. In an exemplary embodiment, the security tag 72 has a Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) attached to it. It is to be understood that the invention covers a wide range of security tags 72 and is not limited to the security tag described in the referenced '537 application. The inventory system 100 consists of at least a storage database 10, a cash register or sales terminal 30, an inventory item 70, a security tag 72 secured to the inventory item 70 or a container for the item 70, a security tag reader 40, and an unlocking system 60. FIG. 1, also shows an optional remote database 20 and an alarm system 50, such as an audible alarm located near the exits of a facility. The inventory system 100 is designed so that security tag 72 is only released from an item 70 after a cash register 30 has recorded the sale of the item 70. In an exemplary system, the security tag 72 contains at least a serial number or some identification information that can be read by an optical or other type of scanner. Additional information could be stored on the tag, such as item type, item identification number, tag number, item description, item cost, date of manufacture, shipping date and reorder information. A serial number allows each item 70 and security tag 72 to be uniquely identified by the cash register or computer system 30. The security tag 72 is exemplary placed in the item 70 at the factory or by the retailer, distributor, or owner, preferably prior to arrival at the store or in a secure location. An optional remote database 20 could be used to cross-reference the information stored on the tag 72. In an exemplary embodiment, during a sales transaction, the cash register 30 or other suitable reading device will read the security tag 72 identification information. In an exemplary system a handheld or stationary security tag reader 40, such as an electronic or optical scanner is used to read the security tag 72. The tag reader 40 transfers the information to the cash register 30. The cash register 30 then communicates with a storage database 10. The storage base 10 transmits to the cash register 30 information on the item 70, such as product cost and other information desired. In addition, a remote product database 20 may be desirable to prevent an employee or thieve from altering the store database 10. After the security tag 72 information is read by the tag reader 40, the cash register 30 will authorize the removal of or disarming of the security tag 72. A sales clerk can then use an exemplary tag unlocking system 60 to remove the security tag 72 from the item 70. The tag unlocking system 60 is controlled by the cash register 30. In an exemplary embodiment the tag unlocking system 60 comprises a security tag reader 62, a microprocessor 64, and an unlocking device 66. The unlocking system tag reader 62 reads the security tag 72. The tag's identification number is transferred via a microprocessor 64 to the cash register 30 to confirm or verify the sale. If a sale is confirmed, the unlocking device 66 is made operational and the sales clerk can proceed with disarming and removing the security tag 72. If a sale is not confirmed then the unlocking device 66 will not operate. In an exemplary embodiment, an attempt to unlock a security tag 72 when a sale is not recorded would result in an exemplary alarm system 50 activating. Thus employees as well as thieves could not remove the security tag 72 from the item 70 without a sales transaction. It is to be understood that the unlocking device 66 can be configured and controlled in many different ways, including electromagnetic controls or other suitable electromechanical means. As previously mentioned, the system 100 could also have an alarm system 50. An exemplary alarm system 50 would be placed near the store exit or tag unlocking device 661. The alarm 50 would make a noise or flash a light if a thief or employee attempts to remove the item 70 from the store without a sales transaction occurring. One potential problem is that an employee could authorize a cash transaction with the cash register 30, without placing the money in the cash register. However, a password system can also be used with the cash register 30 to identify which sales clerk handled a particular transaction. Once given the above disclosure, many other features, modifications or improvements will become apparent to the skilled artisan. Such features, modifications or improvements are, therefore, considered to be a part of this invention, the scope of which is to be determined by the following claims. Patent Citations
