From pitboy to Privy Councillor neatly summarises the life of Thomas Burt. He was the first working miner to become an M.P. when, in 1874, he won the seat for Morpeth as a Liberal (the Labour Party had not yet been formed) and continued to hold it until retirement in 1918, by which time he had become 'father' of the House of Commons.
Born near Backworth, Thomas had a limited education at a local dame school before beginning work at ten years of age as a pit trapper boy, where he earned two shillings for a 12 hour day. Thomas became an avid reader and was frequently seen walking to and from Newcastle to buy second hand books. He became proficient in Latin, French, mathematics, English Literature and shorthand, despite living in a crowded one-roomed cottage. An inspiration to us all!!
In 1895, a new headquarters for the Northumberland Miners' association was opened at Northumberland Road, Newcastle and was later named Burt Hall in recognition of Thomas's 48 years as General Secretary and three years as Secretary of the Board of Trade. A sculpture of Ralph Hedley's painting of a pitman adorns the roof of the building. Burt Hall now forms part of Northumbria University's City Campus.
Unfortunately, Thomas's memorial had been laid flat for Health and Safety reasons and had become overgrown and hidden until the Friends of Jesmond Old Cemetery cleared away the years of neglect. However, after a long but successful funding campaign, where we attracted finance from the Northumberland area of the National Union of Mineworkers, the City Council, the Evening Chronicle's 'WISH' campaign and Jesmond Waitrose, we were able to raise nearly £1,700 so that we could direct local firm, Classic Masonry, to re-erect the memorial as a fitting tribute to a true working class hero. On the 14th April 2014, the Friends of Jesmond Old Cemetery hosted a celebration, where Reverend Rob Hawkins, from the Jesmond Methodist Church, carried out a rededication service. The Backworth Colliery Band and Heaton Voices Community Choir provided stirling musical entertainment and Ian Lavery M.P. for Wansbeck gave a warm and congratulatory speech about Thomas Burt and the work of the Friends group within Jesmond Old Cemetery. A fantastic end to a brilliant campaign.
Thomas Burt's neglected memorial. Thomas Burt.
After a quick tidy up, it looks a bit better!!

Woolpit Rd, IP31 3LU
The original Plumber's Arms was a 300 year old coaching inn. It was demolished in August 1959 along with the adjacent hall which had also served as a village dance hall.
A new purpose-built replacement pub was built where the hall had been and was ready to open as soon as the old pub was closed. It was built for Bullard's at a cost of £9,000.
The new building also traded as the Plumbers Arms and was in later years owned by Watney's and Grand Met. Its name was only changed to the Tickled Trout for a couple of years before its closure in 1999. It has since been demolished, with new housing having been built upon the site.
It's shown here (though not named) on this old OS map from about the end of the 19th century. larger map

NUVALI revels in nostalgia, but at the same time, it is forward-looking. Its contradictions allow it to look at the past with sentimentality while living in the present and creating a future with lessons learned from the times gone by. The 2,290 hectare mixed-used property, a project of Ayala Land, is designed with the idea of Manila before it became what is now — a crowded urban jungle. Nuvali vows not to become another limited and suffocating urbanized city with no spaces for human interactions. Forty percent of the development is allocated to open spaces that encourage the public, both residents and visitors, to walk, jog, cycle, play, and read under the trees. The property is home to 51,986 trees, 86% of which are native species. Fifty percent of the residential areas are open spaces for its 6,000 current inhabitants, majority of whom are the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs). The Ayala Land development townships in Nuvali are Ayala Land Premier, Alveo, Avida, and Amaia.
"We leave nature as it is and we don't want to have any interventions with it as much as possible. Majority of our land owners are OFWs who have lived and worked abroad and have their expectations based on the country they've temporarily called home. They are seeking a serene escape," said Nuvali General Manager John Estacio in a meeting with journalists on Oct. 9 at Seda hotel, another Ayala property that also champions a sustainable lifestyle.
Seda, an eco-friendly hotel, is a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) silver certified hotel and recipient of the Urban Land Institute Philippines' Healthy Places Award. The hotel faces a man-made lake with lanes for bicycle riders and pedestrians.
Nuvali's overarching brand is about sustainable and green living. "People have come to appreciate a lifestyle that embraces sustainability," added Mr. Estacio.
Sixty-four percent of the huge Nuvali property — or 1,458 hectares — are already developed for concrete edifices like shopping malls, a hotel, a hospital, a big grocery, business offices, a convention hub, and two schools (Xavier School and Miriam College) set amidst Mother Nature. Future plans, according to Mr. Estacio, include another Seda hotel, an extended shopping mall, "and perhaps a museum." He said the construction of a new building depends on the demand.
While it may not have a museum or art gallery yet, the property already has a sprinkling of outdoor art installations by Michael Cacnio, Juan Carlo Calma, and Eduardo Castrillo.
Nuvali — from the words "nova," or the birth of a star, and "valley," where it is situated — gets around 60,000 visitors per weekend. Tourists can either drive there — Nuvali is less than an hour away from Metro Manila if the traffic is light — or they can take a P2P bus from the Glorietta, BGC, and Balibago stations (P250).
There visitors can enjoy recreational activities which revolve around the idea of interacting with nature. For an entrance fee of P20, visitors can pick fruits and vegetables at an organic farm called Greens and Patches. Whatever they pick is weighed and priced accordingly. Beside the farm is a zone called Camp N, which purposely lures people to move around and have fun in its obstacle courses, rope courses, and an aerial walk.
Nuvali also has a 50-km mountain bike trail.
The property is home to a thriving wildlife and bird sanctuary for endemic species. When the beeps of our smart phones and the buzzes of the city life are the usual sounds of our daily life, the aviary is a good reminder that there are other sounds in the world we need to hear: the chirps and tweets of birds, and the rustling sounds the leaves make when the wind kisses them.
The main attractions of Nuvali are the things we used to enjoy, but alas, took for granted.

Apple has traced the person who had found its lost prototype iPhone 4G in a bar and sold it to Gizmodo for $5,000, claims technology magazine Wired's Threat Level blog.
The report suggests that the company traced the individual, described as a 'college-age man', to his address by using the phone.
Wired reported that people identifying themselves as representatives of Apple arrived at the man's home asking his whereabouts and requesting permission to search the premises, but were refused entry by the man's room-mate.
According an unspecified source, the man had made no secret of finding the phone, flaunting in front of neighbours and friends. None were sure that the model was an unreleased prototype, said the source.
The source also claimed that the man tried to identify the phone's owner, including a search on Facebook. After failing to do so, he finally "gave" the phone to Gizmodo in return for $5,000 and the promise the phone would be returned to its rightful owner.
Wired magazine also quotes the source as saying that the person who took the phone simply wanted to return it to its rightful owner, and Gizmodo had promised to do just that - right after it had analysed it from the inside out.

Visionary Bowling Products LLC has decided not to participate in the PBA program. This decision was not taken lightly but due to changes in the format and pricing structure we are unable to register with the PBA. Our corporate goal has always been to serve the bowling public with high quality, high performing bowling balls at an affordable price. In order to maintain these goals, and continue serving bowlers and pro shops with the same commitment and price structure that they have become accustomed to, we felt the only option was to step away from the PBA.
We understand that this decision is not popular with bowlers that participate in the Regional, Senior or National PBA Tour, and we sincerely apologize for any inconveniences that it may cause. Visionary would also like to reiterate that our equipment has been, and will continue to be approved for USBC, sanctioned events, and all leagues and tournaments that are not governed by the PBA. Bowlers who do not participate in the Regional, Senior or National PBA Tour, will in no way be effected by this decision.
At Visionary we truly appreciate all of our loyal customers, and want to thank you for your continued support. If there is anything that we can do to assist you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.

In India, 80 percent of all people in the workforce are in the informal sector, meaning they do not have job security or steady work. LabourNet is an organization in India that provides key training and education to help people in the informal sector get the skills they need to increase their employability or start their own businesses. We invest in LabourNet because we believe that opening pathways to opportunity can help improve the lives of families living in urban poverty.
Watch the video above to meet Kader. Kader had to drop out of university when his father was hospitalized so that he could support his family. He took on a menial job at a garage but wanted more for his life. He took training courses with LabourNet to learn all about cars and automobile repairs. The training did so much more for him than he could have ever imagined.
Meet Kader and find out how LabourNet helped him transform his life.

These cerebral but very musical songs fit right in with his Rhythms of Life album, previously released on Happy Puppy, and continuing his synclavier-esque modern classical material.
The new album features some of his earliest works; Break In The Action" is listed in the song notes as being recorded in early June, while Quick Steppin' Q" goes back nearly three years, played by an imaginary avant-garde jazz duo.
Over 74 minutes of thought-provoking music, and we hope you enjoy it!

text: Hydrofire Cape Town stock a wide selection of insulated and non-insulated piping and accessories, imported from Italy for all your domestic and commercial plumbing needs. The high quality Gerpex piping is available in a variety on lengths, thickness and operating temperature ranges. Gerpex piping can bend readily making routing of the pipe a quick and simple task. Once bent, the pipe retains its form so will stay in the desired position and not sag like some plastic alternatives. With linear expansion characteristics similar to that of copper pipe, you'll save time and money during installation by removing the need for additional expansion considerations.

One hundred years after the Wright brothers' first powered flight, airplane designers are unshackled from the constraints that they lived with for the first seven decades of flight because of the emergence of digital fly-by-wire (DFBW) technology. New designers seek incredible maneuverability, survivability, efficiency, or special performance through configurations which rely on a DFBW system for stability and controllability. DFBW systems have contributed to major advances in human spaceflight, advanced fighters and bombers, and safe, modern civil transportation. The story of digital fly-by-wire is a story of people, of successes, and of overcoming enormous obstacles and problems. The fundamental concept is relatively simple, but the realization of the concept in hardware and software safe enough for human use confronted the NASA-industry team with enormous challenges. But the team was victorious, and Dr. Tomayko tells the story extremely well. Today, digital fly-by-wire systems are integral to the operation of a great many aircraft. These systems provide numerous advantages over older mechanical arrangements. By replacing cables, linkages, push rods, pull rods, pulleys, and the like with electronic systems, digital fly-by-wire reduces weight, volume, the number of failure modes, friction, and maintenance. It also enables designers to develop and pilots to fly radical new configurations that would be impossible without the digital technology. Digital fly-by-wire aircraft can exhibit more precise and better maneuver control, greater combat survivability, and, for commercial airliners, a smoother ride. The F-8 Digital Fly-By-Wire Project made two significant contributions to the new technology: (1) a solid design base of techniques that work and those that do not, and (2) credible evidence of good flying qualities and the ability of such a system to tolerate real faults and to continue operation without degradation. The narrative of this study captures the intensity of the program in successfully resolving the numerous design challenges and management problems that were encountered. This, in turn, laid the groundwork for leading, not only the U.S., but to a great extent the entire world's aeronautics community into the new era of digital fly-by-wire flight controls. The book also captures the essence of what NASA is chartered to do—develop and transfer major technologies that will keep the U.S. in a world leadership role as the major supplier of commercial aviation, military, and aerospace vehicles and products. The F-8 project is an example of how advanced technology developed in support of the agency's space program, in this case the Apollo endeavor, can be successfully transferred to also address the agency's aeronautics research and development goals, greatly multiplying payoff on taxpayer investments and resources.

Leveraging Internship Opportunities To Shape Your Future
Career Exploration, Job Search, Networking, Skill Development, Tips and Advice February 1, 2019 in
"My advice for young people is, study what you love and intern in what you want to do. And I think it's okay to pivot as many times as you need to." – Eva Chen
A crucial developmental tool, an internship provides a well-rounded educational experience of an occupation and a head start to your professional journey. It is considered a means to test-drive your career options, in turn, allowing you to understand job roles and discover a career that befits your strengths, experiences and aspirations. Gaining experiential learning in the form of internships affords you the opportunity to put your academic training to practical use. An internship may even help you identify specific areas of interest you may not have previously considered.

Christmas is fast approaching, and my first reaction is "Where did the year go?" When I look back on the year I reflect on some sobering things, some great achievements and a positive note for the future.
2017 was marked by many significant global events, but two things stand out in my mind. Instances and reports of workplace sexual harassment seemed to spike during the year, with a number of high-profile cases in the US media industry. Australia seemed to follow suit, as stories of poor culture were exposed in our banking and finance sector. Surely in 2017 we know the difference between right and wrong. Workplace culture is increasingly under the microscope, yet I'm dumbfounded by instances where workplaces tolerate the inappropriate behaviour of individuals and groups.
The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse also recently handed down its final report. Throughout the hearings we heard the stories of vulnerable children entrusted to people whose workplaces cultures tolerated abuse and, in some cases, violent acts. We must learn from this.
This brings into the spotlight the critical need to address inappropriate workplace behaviour through training and other interventions. I'm proud that Learning Seat continues to do this through innovative and effective workplace solutions. This year, we launched courses on unconscious bias, ethics and IT security to address organisational risk and make workplaces safer for everybody. Our Adaptive Suite – which delivers core compliance training more efficiently and with a reduced seat time – is a game changer for our market.
In 2017 we also acquired 76 new customers in the Learning Seat family – large, small and from many backgrounds and industries. All our customers chose Learning Seat because of our outstanding solutions, expertise and the value for money we offer. During the last year we achieved our success through our fantastic partners and the amazing team that works here. I thank you all for the contribution you've made and look forward to working with you in 2018.
Finally, Learning Seat ended the year with the fantastic news that we've been acquired by CallidusCloud, and will operate as the Litmos Asia Pacific operation. We look forward to 2018 with the best Learning Management System, the best content library and the best compliance solution in the Australian market. 2018 will be an exciting year for us, and we're aiming to shake the Australian elearning market with new products and innovations.
So, we anticipate an exciting year ahead, and really hope that yours is as well. To our customers, partners, friends and colleagues, I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Destroying a Book Just Feels So Wrong
I started thinking about transferring a couple to graph paper to enlarge, when inspiration struck. Why don't I just scan these into my computer, then to a disk where I can print them to any size I want and just cut apart.
So, I pulled the scanner out of the closet and set it up in my room. Then, as I played with other things in my room, I went back and forth on the moral dilemna ... Destroying a Book Just Feels So Wrong. It makes it worthless, and can no longer enjoyed with a cup of coffee or shared with a friend. Then, the other side of reason said, heck, I paid my money; who cares. And, back and forth and back and forth. In the end, 'who cares' won out and I pulled out the box cutter and ripped out the binding.
Now, for the next couple days, each time I pass the scanner, I'll feed through another page until all 505 images are appropriately captured. Then, I'll list the book on FreeUse. Perhaps someone around here would like to have a broken down quilt pattern book. Sure hope I use at least a couple of these.

Quota issue: PM calls all-party meeting on May 23
Sources said the all-party meeting will be held at the Prime Minister`s residence on Wednesday morning to explore possibilities of bringing a legislation to establish a quota in promotions to all government servants from the SC, ST and OBC categories. The issue was discussed in the Rajya Sabha last week. All parties agreed that this provision should be made and asked the government to move a Bill to implement it. Sources said though some sections of the political class are opposed to a quota for promotions, they are not publicly airing these views for fear of losing the votes of the SCs, STs and OBCs.
"Once a person gets a job under the reserved category he or she attains the same level as the general category candidate. They are both equal in terms of status and opportunity……..Providing for a quota in promotion would create bad blood as an officer`s batchmate belonging to the reserved category will soon overtake not just him but even some ranks above. This is not acceptable," a senior MP, preferring anonymity, said. Leaders representing the SCs, STs and OBCs see in this another opportunity to further consolidate their votebank.

Microorganisms maintain planet Earth largely by recycling organic and inorganic compounds in waters, sediments, and soils. Decomposition of deceased plant and animal biomass allows nutritionally precious materials (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur) to be recycled from one generation of biota to the next. If recycling ceased, nutrients locked within plant and animal biomass would eventually limit primary and secondary production. Thus, microorganisms (traditionally encompassing pro-karyotes (Bacteria and Archaea), single-celled Eukarya (protozoa, fungi, and algae), and viruses) preserve geo-chemical and nutritional conditions that support global biomes and their inhabitants.
The continuous interactions between living microorganisms and the environment, combined with their cellular processes aimed at growth and survival, cause elements to be recycled. The many unique traits of microorganisms that guarantee performance of their ecological functions include small size, ubiquitous distribution, high specific surface area, potentially high rate of metabolic activity, genetic malleability, potentially rapid growth rate, and unrivaled enzymatic and nutritional versatility.
of exploiting virtually all naturally occurring (and many man-made) substances on Earth.
Enzymes accelerate reaction rates between thermody-namically favored reactions. Perhaps the most ecologically important class of enzymes catalyzes oxidation/reduction reactions that allow the microorganisms to generate metabolic energy, survive, and grow. Microorganisms procreate by carrying out complex, genetically regulated sequences of biosynthetic and assimilative intracellular processes. Each daughter cell has essentially the same macromolecular and elemental composition as its parent. Thus, integrated metabolism of all nutrients (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, etc.) is implicit in microbial growth. The growth and survival of microorganisms drives the geochemical cycling of the elements and detoxifies many contaminant organic and inorganic compounds.
This simple growth and survival of microorganisms drives biogeochemical cycling of the elements. Understanding the detailed aerobic and anaerobic microbiological processes allows ecologists to anticipate the consequences of environmental change. Knowing the ecological, physiological, and biochemical rules and relationships of aerobic and anaerobic processes can contribute to our abilities to maintain and manage ecosystems.

Roles, Rigidity, Repair, and Renovation in Relationships and Therapy
Structural theory and therapy principles are applicable not merely with the family, but also applicable to the couple and other relationships, as well as for individual intrapsychic issues among various personas, the ego, id, and superego, or conflicting motivations, drives, needs, feelings versus thoughts, and so forth. Structurally oriented therapy seeks to change organizational patterns of problematic communication and potentially or actively neglectful, harmful, or abusive behaviors. The therapist is guided to take an authoritative position to alter the structure of relationships for the individual, couple, or family. More passive therapeutic approaches are revealed as counter-indicative when the individual for him or herself, or the parents form ineffective executive dyads. The therapist facilitates structural change including lessening or eliminating emotionally and psychologically harmful symptoms. The therapist works to make clients become aware of behavior, situations, roles, and how choices are made. The individual may take, be given, or be compelled to roles and responsibilities that create inherent dysfunction. Rigid and enmeshed extremes in any area can indicate dysfunctional coalitions between and among relationship, couple, or family members.
The therapist is directed to specific client compositions that indicate structural problems and are well served by structural therapeutic principles: blended families, step-parents, families in transition, culturally different couples including same sex couples, and so forth. Also certain client issues benefit from structural assessment and strategies: abuse of any type, substance abuse, and addictions. The therapist will learn important relationships and distinctions between equality and equity-based partnerships including culturally-based models that challenge mutually reciprocal intimates. Structural issues from various influences, including rigid versus over-diffuse boundaries may require repair. The therapist is directed to facilitate reparative processes for addressing problematic or broken dynamics, including poor communication and abusive or neglectful behavior. Therapy is guided to accentuate the good and effective, further facilitating healthy recovery and growth. Ineffective or harmful structure and boundaries are minimized and if possible, eliminated. The therapist is prompted to recognize how sometimes, the relationship structure or boundaries may be inherently corrupt if earlier models were never that healthy. Since sometimes old boundaries had never led to mutually healthy reciprocal nurturance and support in the past or the present, beyond repair the system requires therapeutic attention for a major overhaul or complete renovation to achieve functionality.

SOA Pension Mortality Studies: RP-2014 and MP-2014
The SOA today released the final reports of the RP-2014 Mortality Tables and the Mortality Improvement Scale MP-2014. These final reports are the SOA's latest pension plan mortality studies. The SOA has long been the primary source for mortality and mortality improvement studies on U.S. voluntarily-established, private-sector defined benefit plans. The SOA recognizes the critical importance for professional actuaries to have access to reliable and well-supported data in order to provide meaningful projections to the broad range of stakeholders responsible for governing private pension plans.
The SOA's Retirement Plans Experience Committee (RPEC) developed the draft and final reports of the mortality tables and mortality improvement scale. The SOA approached the mortality tables project with a great deal of rigor because of the important uses of these mortality tables and the mortality improvement scale. The draft reports were exposed to the pension community from Feb. 1 to May 31, 2014. The SOA and RPEC conducted an in-depth review of the comments and exposure process for the development of the final reports. The SOA Board approved the final reports on Oct. 26.
The SOA recently had the opportunity to testify before the Select Revenue Measures Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, "Private Employer Defined Benefit Pension Plans," where the SOA discussed the evolution of mortality tables through present times. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service has continually looked to SOA tables as a basis for the updating of mortality tables to be used under § 430(h)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code.
With the release of these final tables and scale, the SOA will host a webcast on Nov. 7 for members to learn about the final mortality studies. Members will also hear about the comment process and overall exposure process, and be able to ask questions about the reports. Two members of RPEC will lead the webinar.
For the final reports and related information, please visit https://www.soa.org/Research/Experience-Study/Pension/research-mort-table-mort-imp-scale.aspx.
Recent media coverage of the SOA mortality tables includes The Wall Street Journal and C-SPAN, among others.

Teaching the Fundamentals of Cell Phones and Wireless Communications
Mark Davids; Rick Forrest; Don Pata
Physics Teacher Vol. 48, No. 4 (April 2010) pp. 217–221
Wireless communications are ubiquitous. Students and teachers use iPhones[R], BlackBerrys[R], and other smart phones at home and at work. More than 275 million Americans had cell phones in June of 2009 and expanded access to broadband is predicted...

The smartphone camera has had an undeniable effect on the way people take pictures, and in turn, the way we buy cameras. In fact, Olympus recently announced that they're killing their low-end line of compacts all together. But, the compact camera isn't totally dead yet. In order for them to survive, though, they're going to need to step up their game and focus on the things that really matter. Here are a few things I'd like to see in the little camera market.
Add more wireless connectivity, but don't be redundant
As much as it hurts to say it, compact cameras have become, in a way, smartphone accessories for some users. So, the easier it is for the devices to play nice with each other, the less it will feel like a redundant gadget.
And when I say wireless connectivity, I'm talking about more than Wifi. Yes, Wifi is great, but NFC is also great and will let you transfer photos to your phone by simply touching the two devices together.
While connectivity is key, it's also where cameras tend to get bogged down by trying to add things like apps. Your phone already has apps and they're likely better, faster, and more customizable than proprietary app offered within the camera's firmware. It needs to be as simple and automatic as possible for photos to get from the camera to a smartphone or tablet. Unless a camera goes all the way, like the Galaxy camera with full Android pictured above, leave the apps to the other guys.
Be smart about zoom
Camera manufacturers love optical zoom because it's something that, at least for the time being, smartphone cameras just can't do. Because of that, thought, they can get carried away.
Little cameras with extra-long zooms tend to have the smallest sensors, which can negatively impact image quality. Also, once the millimeter count gets too high, they become unwieldy. There's no amount of image stabilization that's going to keep a 1,000mm equivalent lens sharp at F/6.3 when you're trying to hold a tiny camera. We've gotten plenty of emails from users frustrated that they can't get sharp images when zoomed all the way to the telephoto end of their new camera. That's bad.
Zoom is important, but if you can't use all of it, don't include it. It will keep the price down and not overpromise.
Tone down the megapixels
By keeping megapixels to just 12, canon's S-series compacts have remained high on the scale for compact image quality
At the low end of the camera market, the focus on megapixel counts has remained alive, even though it's dead in most other segments. It's a good marketing technique -- seeing an 18 on the box instead of a 12 just sounds, well, better to uninformed consumers. But, that line of thinking is now almost completely gone. Even Smartphone manufacturers, like HTC, have started bragging about their lower megapixel counts and the resulting image quality bumps seem to be paying off.
Bringing down megapixel counts will (if done properly) help improve image quality while reducing file size. That means you'll get better pictures beamed wirelessly to your phone or iPad faster and that's hard to argue with. If they need a number, start fighting the uphill battle to emphasize pixel size.
Make them cheaper
This is one is about as straight forward as they come. If consumers on the lower end of the market are going to start seeing their camera as an accessory for their mobile devices, they're likely not going to pay as much as they did for the device itself. I realize that camera companies are already trying to make their cameras as cheap as possible, but by focusing on the essentials and cutting back on some of the extraneous things like apps and piles of "creative modes," the price may be able to come down even more.
Nikon's S31 costs just $100, but has an optical zoom lens and is both rugged and waterproof
Another area where smartphones fail -- quietly literally -- is in the toughness category. Even with the surge of mobile photography, waterproof tough cameras seem to be thriving, and rightfully so. I love the idea of Nikon's S31, which is a very basic camera in a waterproof housing. Awesome for kids and if you're just looking for underwater snapshots.
Making a camera that can go anywhere really does offer something smartphones can't. Sure, you can buy a waterproof case for your phone, but if it fails, you're without a $500+ piece of equipment. That's a lot of faith to put in a $40 phone case.
Get serious about the flash
Smartphone flashes are literally often worse than useless. But, on a small camera, they can come in very handy. With relatively little sensors and typically slow lenses, flash is an essential part of the compact camera experience. Flashes need to get smarter and offer users more control so they don't have to choose between ugly, dark photos, and blown out faces with harsh shadows.
Concentrate on the lens
The Olympus XZ-10 has a sharp, F/1.8 lens, which stays fast even when zoomed to its telephoto end
At the advanced compact level, there are quite a few cameras with nice lenses. As you come down the ladder, though, you start seeing slower maximum apertures and increased distortion. While it may never get to the point where the general non-photo person understands that F/1.8 is a good thing, they will be able to understand images with blurry backgrounds and less-awful photos in low-light.
After all, look at any gear recommendation thread on the web and you'll see people championing the purchase of a new lens over a new body. The same goes here. Put a decent sensor behind a better-than-decent lens and the images should speak for themselves.
The number of shooting modes available on many compact cameras at the moment can get out of hand. It's not crazy to see a camera with more than 30 different "scene" settings. At that point, it's probably easier for people to just learn how to use the camera with aperture and shutter speed. One of the most appealing things about smartphone photography is that you go from open screen to camera in one second and you're ready to go. If the camera experience isn't as painless, it won't get used.
Getting back to the essentials can help. You should still be able to tweak exposure compensation and ISO. Even manual controls would be nice, even if you have to go into the menus to activate them. But it's time for that little running guy icon and that "mountain" setting to go.
_Of course, I realize that it's not as simple as shutting down the camera machines and starting again. I also realize that manufacturers have spent billions of dollars on marketing and research to try and find out what people want. But, ultimately, I think the thing that will help compact cameras stick around a while is to let them be cameras. People have apps. They have a way to edit. They have a way to share. Now, all they need is a better way to actually take the pictures. _

How can a tutor help you with summer tutoring?
Kids love summer break, because it is a time to enjoy the outdoors, friends, blockbuster movies, and late nights. However, summer break should not be a time when children stop learning. Unfortunately, for many children all over the country, the time off means they forget a lot of the subjects they learned the previous school year. In fact, at most schools, the first six weeks of the school year in the fall are devoted to catching students up with the material they learned the previous year. This is frustrating for both students and teachers. It can make education seem boring or difficult for your child. However, you could help your child enjoy the summer and maintain the skills they learned in school with a tutor. If you're preparing for the summer, Varsity Tutors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor for your child in Aurora, CO.

Charitable bequest to the Homestead (PBO 181113 1038) is an easy and effective way to leave a lasting legacy.
A charitable bequest is simply a distribution from your deceased estate to the Homestead by a bequest in your Will.
Deduction on Estate Duty: A deduction for estate duty purposes is allowed in respect of the value of property bequeathed to a public benefit organisation ( The Homestead is a 'qualifying PBO') exempt from tax in terms of the Income Tax Act.
Different types of Bequests:
• A specific sum of money: The simplest form of bequest, but does not consider inflation or changes in the value of your estate.
• A percentage of your estate: This ensures a fair distribution among all your beneficiaries, regardless of any changes in the value of your estate.
• The residue of your estate: Whatever is left over after all taxes, liabilities and other bequests have been paid is known as the residue. You can bequeath the whole of the residue, or a percentage of it.
• A Life Assurance policy: An existing policy, taken out years ago to safeguard a young family and no longer relevant, can be ceded to the Homestead, or you can take out a new policy with the Homestead as the beneficiary.
• Specific items: Valuable items such as real estate, motor vehicles, antiques, art works, jewellery, etc. may be bequeathed to a Public Benefit Organisation such as the Homestead
• Shares: You can donate stock exchange traded shares directly to the Homestead. This would save capital gains tax.
• Setting up a charitable trust: This can be an option in certain circumstances when for instance considerable sums are involved and you might want your bequest to be used for certain specific purposes over a number of years, for instance only to be spent on the children's education and development, or for social worker salaries, or for administrative purposes.
The Homestead's legal details are:
Name: The Homestead
Address: 150 Strand Street, De Waterkant, Cape Town, 8000
Phone: 021 4199763
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
NPO Number: NPO 003-217
PBO Number: PBO 181113 1038
Thank you for leaving a lasting legacy to the hundreds of children who continue to benefit from the Homestead each year
